SAN ANTONIO Its a catchphrase likely coming soon to fan T-shirts, Internet memes and the lexicon of the NBA playoffs for the foreseeable future.

"I want some nasty!"

Spurs 101, Thunder 98

Manu Ginobili comes off the bench to lead the Spurs with 26 points.

After scoring only 16 points in the third quarter, San Antonio scores 39 in the fourth.

Gregg Popovich didnt just coin it. He snarled it, and the way his San Antonio Spurs obliged has the Western Conference finals off to a thrilling start.

Manu Ginobili scored 26 points and the Spurs won their 19th in a row tying the NBA record for longest winning streak kept alive in the playoffs by rallying in the fourth quarter on the orders of their furious coach to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98 in Game 1 on Sunday night.

It was a tantalizing near-upset for the young Thunder, who came as close as anybody to beating the Spurs for the first time in 46 days. But a nine-point lead didnt last after the famously mercurial 63-year-old Popovich the NBAs Coach of the Year huddled his lagging team together in the fourth and told them to "get nasty."

IoM Space Industry Noted At IoD Event

29 May 2012

The Isle of Man has welcomed praise for the island's burgeoning aerospace sector in an important new report from the Institute of Directors (IoD), considering the future trajectory of the United Kingdom industry.

The report entitled Space: Britains New Infrastructure Frontier, and authored by Dan Lewis, Chief Executive of the Economic Policy Centre, Chief Executive of Future Energy Strategies and Energy Policy Adviser to the IoD, was presented to an audience of 100 key players in the British space industry at a recent event hosted by the Institute.

A full chapter, dedicated to the Isle of Man space industry, The Isle of Mans Mighty Space Sector, highlights the islands ethos of innovation and its commitment to embracing new and growing industries. The report says: "Like many micro nations, the Isle Of Man has a history of quickly adapting to fast emerging industries from fishing to banking to financial supervision to the film industry to e-gaming and e-commerce and now space", with the report putting much of the islands success down to achieving a cluster effect of major companies.

The report also highlighted the island's home grown 'space champion', ManSat, and its role in orbital filing with the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, in addition to the presence of the Space Data Association (SDA) on the Isle of Man which, just this month, held a successful workshop with the International Institute of Space Commerce with participants from the US and Europe.

Attending the event from the IoD event to launch the report was Tim Craine, Director of Business Development at the Department of Economic Development, who commented: "It is highly significant that the island received the recognition and praise for its space sector from a prestigious body such as the IoD and is further evidence of the strength of the sector and significant interest that the islands space industry attracts."

Alex Downie, Member of the Department of Economic Development with responsibility for Space, added: "The IoD event was an ideal opportunity for the island to demonstrate that its space industry is complementary to, rather than in direct competition with, the UKs space industry. This partnership is important to emphasize how the island adds value to the UK economy as well as providing benefit to our own economy."
