Theresa May's plans to replace anti-social behaviour orders (Asbos) will just repeat the old failings, creating a back door to custody for people who have not committed a criminal offence, more than 60 organisations in the Criminal Justice Alliance have said.
The new 'community trigger' to force police to investigate any incident of anti-social behaviour reported by at least five people will do little to tackle the problem in the long term, campaigners said on Tuesday.
Measures, which will be published in a white paper on Tuesday, aim to put an end to the horror stories of victims being ignored despite making repeated complaints to the authorities about problem neighbours.
It follows high-profile cases such as that of Fiona Pilkington, who killed herself and her disabled daughter Francecca Hardwick, 18, in 2007 following 10 years of sustained abuse.
As the Home Secretary ends Labour's Asbos which have been described as a badge of honour among anti-social youths by critics, Mrs May will bring in streamlined measures designed to ensure police take incidents of low-level nuisance seriously.
Police will have to take action to tackle nuisance behaviour if five people in different homes across the same neighbourhood complain, or if one person complains on three separate occasions, under a new "community trigger" power.
It is expected to be introduced in three pilot schemes in Manchester, Brighton and Hove and West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
Asbos and 18 other measures are also expected to be replaced with a streamlined system of six measures that target people, places and police powers.
May is expected to announce a new Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) to ban an individual from particular activities or places.
And civil Crime Prevention Injunctions (CPI) are also expected to be brought in to give agencies an immediate power to protect victims and communities by stopping bad behaviour before it escalates.
The lower standard of proof for civil orders such as the CPI means they can be put in place in days or even hours.
Simpler powers to close premises that are a magnet for trouble and tougher action over nightmare neighbours, with faster eviction processes for those who refuse to change their ways, are also expected.
The white paper will be published as Mrs May addresses police chiefs from across England and Wales at their annual conference in Manchester.
But Vicki Helyar-Cardwell, director of the Criminal Justice Alliance, warned that enforcement powers alone will not be enough to prevent anti-social behaviour.
"There is a risk that if these new measures are not accompanied by necessary support in communities - youth clubs, family support and health services - they will do little in the long term to tackle this important issue," she said.
"There is a real risk that these new orders will result in more and more people being sent to prison for breaching their order when the original offence would not have warranted custody.
"Our prisons are already severely overcrowded, and we know that warehousing people who often have social or health needs can make them more not less likely to reoffend.
"Loss of employment and accommodation and separation from family can exacerbate the underlying causes of anti-social behaviour."
A report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) in January found that incidents of anti-social behaviour only led to a low number of crimes being recorded and the identification of repeat, vulnerable and intimidated victims was poor at the first point of contact.
A Home Office spokesman said:
"What clearly hasn't worked is the existing system, with thousands of people's lives still blighted by anti-social behaviour and many not reporting it because they have little faith it will be taken seriously.
"We are overhauling the whole system to put the focus on the impact of victims and neighbourhoods and ensure people can hold the police and local agencies to account.
"We are replacing cumbersome and bureaucratic legislation with faster, more relevant, effective and lasting powers.
"We are also addressing the underlying drivers of crime and anti-social behaviour such as binge drinking, drug abuse and troubled families."
The Criminal Justice Alliance also backed measures to simplify the system.
May told ITV's Daybreak the proposals were "putting the needs of victims first" by simplifying the process that allowed action to be taken against anti-social behaviour and putting power back in the hands of local communities.
"One of the problems with Asbos that I have been told about by people is that they just take too long, they are too bureaucratic and it takes such a long time sometimes to actually get anything done," she said.
"So one of the things we will see with the new orders we are introducing is that it will be possible with some of them to get them in place within days, certainly possibly even within hours."
Defending the community trigger idea, she said: "I hear too many cases where people say, you know, 'We have been suffering from this anti-social behaviour, perhaps in our street, perhaps in our estate. It happens time and time again and nothing seems to happen.' It just takes too long with the current Asbos. So I think it is right communities should be able to say to the police 'Actually, something needs to be done about this'."

PRINCETON — William Shakespeare would have celebrated his 449th birthday this month. The Princeton Public Library will celebrate in his absence at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday with a bit of background on Shakespeare's life, times and works, and then open the floor to a group reading of some of his memorable sonnets and poetry from his plays (April is, after all, also National Poetry Month).
From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 25, the Princeton Public Library will host a Family Engineering Night for children ages 7 to 12 and their families. The evening will consist of several "warm-up" activities and one or two longer "family challenges" that will introduce basic engineering concepts and introduce participants to how engineers think about problem solving, as well as how engineering plays a role in so many aspects of our lives. Children must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. There is no fee to participate, but families should register in person at the library's circulation desk or by calling 815-875-1331.
The Princeton Public Library will close at 1 p.m. April 26 for a staff in-service.
For more information on library programs and services, visit www.theprincetonlibrary.org. The library is located at 698 E. Peru St. in Princeton.

The full DR roster includes:
- Al Horford
- Jack Michael Martínez
- Francisco García
- Edgar Sosa
- Eulis Báez
- Ronald Ramón
- Juan Coronado
- Manuel Fortuna
- Manuel Guzmán
- Eloy Vargas
- Karl Towns Jr
- James Feldeine
- Josh Asselin
- Gerardo Suero
- Jon Horford
The article says that Callipari is coaching the team, which is interesting.
While not likely to challenge the likes of the US, Spain, and Argentina, with Al Horford, Francisco Garcia, and Edgar Sosa they seem to at least have some talented guys on the roster. Hopefully Jon gains some valuable experience this summer.
EDIT: Josh Asselin was BMT (I'm only 20), but as others point out below, he makes two Wolverines on this DR roster.
EDIT 2: The team is going through Olympic Qualifying right now, a 12 team tournament where the top 3 finishers fo to the Olympics.

Thanks to Foodbuzz for letting me into SF Chefs 2010 and setting up an interview with Chef Kory Stewart of Americano restaurant.
I was able to walk around the SF Chefs tent before going to the demo and the interview and it was really awesome to see and taste the food and wine offered in the bay area.
The cooking demo with Chef Kory was great-it was about mozzarella and ricotta cheese. We tried the fresh mozzarella, served with bread and tomato; it was delicious. He also made fried squash blossoms that were stuffed with the ricotta and some Parmesan cheese. I had not tried squash blossom before (though I've seen them at the farmer's market) and they were good, too.
It was my first interview that I had with a chef (in which I was the interviewer and not the interviewee) I wasn't sure what to ask, but I think I did alright (I got some inspiration from Bon Appetit magazine)… Continue reading

"I'm still not sure how this doesn't violate the Fourth Amendment."
You think the government or its workers still abide by that silly old piece of paper known as the constitution when they can get away with not abiding by it? That's funny.
"isn't that the same as having a secret in your mind?"
An unreadable but visible secret.
"Isn't that stealing from the passenger then?"
It would only be stealing if he was deprived of something.
The constitution only protects against "unreasonable" search an seizures, with unreasonable being up to the interpretation of the courts. Border searches have long had a broader definition of reasonable (since the very first session of congress), and are not limited to safety and contraband. FindLaw has additional commentary [findlaw.com] on the issue.
"They could see it wasn't a bomb from the xray and by me powering it up, "
Think it's annoying now, wait until some enterprising Jihadist figures out that the only barrier to making explosives that look like battery cells under x-ray inspection is bit of trial and error and some machine shop time to fab the tooling for fake cells. You don't need all the cells to power up a notebook for testing.
The constitution only protects against "unreasonable" search an seizures, with unreasonable being up to the interpretation of the courts.
No, the constitution protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and then it specifically defines what that means: "no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
The idea that the definition of unreasonable in this context isn't clear and present is a myth that is instantly dispelled if you simply read the 4th amendment. It's right there, plain as day.
The encrypted material might have contained something hazardous like a Uwe Boll movie. The risk of one of those being released to the public far outweighs any privacy or Constitutional concerns. Memories of House of the Dead and Bloodrayne still make me wake up in a cold sweat. Just imagine one that was considered unreleasable. Terrorist can kill thousands but a Uwe Boll movie can injure millions, or at least the hundreds that actually see them.
Problem is it is going to have to get tested in courts, mostly likely the supreme court, and that takes time. Searches at the border themselves are completely legal. That has been established long ago. You have no expectation of privacy there, and the government has a right, and duty, to secure its borders. However the idea behind this was searching for contraband more or less. A regular search. The whole "copying your entire harddrive" or "taking your computer and not giving it back for months" is not some
There's a 4th amendment exception around airports and borders.. they can search you for *no reason*. If you don't think that is fair, you're not the only one.
Work in law enforcement, national security, or for a politician? Want someone you want searched but can't get the probable cause for a warrant? No worries, wait for them to fly, search 'em at the border and find something suspicious.. now you can search the rest of their property.
Here's a fun fact: the border extends to about 100 miles inland of the actual border to a country or the ocean. This means the Customs can search over 50% of the US population with near impunity.

Really, why try to sensationalize a story by omitting its outcome?
The fact that something as diriculous as "incoming data storage devices searches" even
exist should be enough of a story by itself, and that has been known for quite a while.
...didn't get them, gave him back his hardware and let him go.
Really, why try to sensationalize a story by omitting its outcome?
Whatever happened to him in the mean time is OK so long as it reaches a satisfactory conclusion?
Most^H^H^H^H Some Slashdotters are smart enough to understand that the ends never justify the means, that this person was picked on, detained for 5 hours and subjected to an invasive search was _not_ all well and good because he got his laptop back.
In the end, I'd put good money on this person being picked up because he was coming in from the Dom Rep rather then because he was Moxie Marlinspike. The TSA likes to pick on single males coming in from potential sex tourism destinations, perhaps because it's the low hanging fruit. Bust a few guys coming back from the Philippines with some home made porn (a pic of a naked Pinay is not hard to get) and make it look like you're doing a great job, after all who would defend these dirty sex pests (they are probably all pedo's anyway). Incompetence rather then malice, but the end result is the same.
I worked through this policy myself as an intellectual exercise [blogspot.com] (A protocol for China. Or Defcon. Take your pick).
Basically, take a laptop with an easy to swap hard drive. Swap in a new drive, with a clean image, and no access credentials except to a temporary dropbox account for emergency mail and/or working set.
Now if you are intercepted, there is no data TO capture, and you can remove all but hardware/bios trojans by a wipe and reinstall.
As a bonus, you can just take out the drive, hand it to customs, and let them have fun with it.

International corporations are already doing something quite similar to this. You carry an empty laptop with you - and download an encrypted "project package" at your destination to install any special software, and any data you need. You encrypt and upload your product data (if you need to bring it back at all) and run a program that wipes the laptop before return.
But of course spies, criminals and terrorists would never think of doing this.
I would never trust my hardware again once I had handed it over to some customs (or other government agent) goons, and it left my sight. I would rather just remove the hard drive and hand it alone over to them, at least then I wouldn't have to trash the whole thing.
There's really no way to be 100% sure you successfully "re-flashed" the BIOS, or cleaned all hardware as some posters have said they would do. Not to mention: There could be additional hardware installed, 5 hours is a long time...
You could tear your machine apart and inspect it all you want, but it's well known once the enemy has unfettered physical access to a device, all bets are off.
Paranoid much? Shit, you could say that about new hardware as well. How do you know the manufacturers didn't put some virus/trojan, inadvertently or maliciously, on the devices you bought (especially now that most of those devices are made in China)?
Logging things done by a random buyer isn't the same as logging things by the guy we'd really like to know more about.
Right, and if you read the CNET article he mentions that he's already disposed of all the checked hardware.
He also mentioned that the extra cost of hardware + embarrassment of missing meetings due to being detained and missing flights means his business is losing contracts and money, and he's thinking of refusing international clients. Maybe that's the government's goal.
>> embarrassment of missing meetings due to being detained and missing flights
As disgusting as this whole episode is, the detention probably works for him, rather than against him. I didn't know this guy's name until a few days ago. Additionally, how many people do you know who are such security studballs that the whole US Government is out to intercept them at every turn?
With the price of hardware these days it's hardly worth even getting it back. Once it's compromised; it's compromised.
I agree, once it's been in the hands of an adversary you just can't trust it any more. I would purchase a new laptop over the counter reload the encryption and restore from secure backup.
I had to do this recently after having a system stolen. Fortunately everything was switched off and demounted at the time but it has made me think about the possibility of running remote wipe software so tha
I travel to the US a lot for business. What I do is Fedex my "real" hdd to the hotel I'm planning on staying at, usually 1 day before travel to the US is enough for it to be there waiting for me when I arrive at check-in (obviously its an encrypted disk).
I travel with my laptop, with a small capacity hdd that has a clean install, some common oss apps installed, some bogus documents downloaded from scribed, some fake e-mail accounts with credentials saved in firefox and some typical surfing history. The aim is to make them feel like they've found the stuff they're looking for and that there isn't anything worth pursuing - rather than trying to be a smart-ass that makes them even more intent on performing those unwanted rectal examinations. I've had my laptop taken twice in the last 3 years, and on both occasions after providing access details, I was given the laptop back within 5-10mins, other people i know that tried to screw over the TSA/customs by not providing all the access details they wanted, ended up never seeing their machines again.
Though now with the new scanners at play in the airports, I'm trying to reduce my travel to the US to a minimum. If I have to travel, I charge a premium for the various inconveniences endured, most clients are sympathetic and pay without much fuss.

When traveling out-of-country, do not:
Bring your best laptop with you. Bring a cheapie that you don't mind losing. This way you don't have any real qualms about abandoning it when these ass-wipes pull this.
Keep anything important on the machine, encrypted or otherwise. Have an internet dead-drop you can push things to before crossing borders.
Leave anything important on the machine. Use a decent file shredder to eliminate it.

There's no doubt that as we continue to develop as real players, there are many "mysteries" of the fretboard that should keep on Un-raveling for us. In the beginning, we look at a riff for example, and by putting 2 and 2 together, we realize that it can be repeated all over the neck, in identical fashion, just in new key positions. After a while though, we should be able to see beyond this scope of self-teaching, and be able to see the neck and notes in a more "three-dimensional" way, as opposed to "two dimensional." This takes time, and not all of us have the mathematical and logical kinds of minds that can easily grasp all of these things, especially when it's how they relate to the actual sound they make that is the real learning experience!
I've also had way too many pupils come to me who have been given a textbook's worth of knowledge about scales, modes and all other kinds of mind-numbing theatrics, all to no avail, and who are still just as confused as ever! (If not more so!) This is because rather than take a direct one-on-one approach and give the student what they really need, their previous teacher was just "going through the motions" by giving them a ton of info to absorb, with no real music or purpose behind it! This can be a more serious problem than you think, because if it's done at an age when the student is extremely motivated to learn and is very impressionable, a lot of this "useless" information could leave them searching like "babes in the woods!"
When I teach privately, and as you can probably also notice from my Gibson.com lessons, I have a much more "hands on" approach that insists on whatever I'm showing you, make musical sense, and that it becomes instantly useful and enjoyable to the student. This is how I taught myself, and of course I had the double good fortune of being able to really trust my ear, and to, at the same time be a young professional who was really "out there" in the world of music, putting it all to use right on the spot!
When you're onstage, in front of an audience, it's "do or die", and whatever you play will either communicate with those people out there, or it will leave them flat and un-interested. Again, as I was going through this period, I was certainly still unlocking the "mysteries" of the guitar, but I was being very careful to not try too much too soon, but also to know when the time was right to expand and experiment beyond what I did already know!
So much is "trial and error" as you keep developing that ear along with your guitar skills, and believe me, when those "errors" occur, it's a great way of learning what not to do in the future!
So, feel totally free to experiment and improvise, but do it in an intelligent and thoughtful way; always keep your music at the forefront, and always play what feels and sounds like music! Don't just settle for scales and modes, it's a frustrating and "backdoor" way for many people to learn, and it's certainly no "shortcut" for those of us who really want to truly know the fretboard!

PRINCETON, N.J. — After dropping a tough
four-set battle at Penn last night, the Yale volleyball team
bounced back on Saturday afternoon with a convincing sweep of
Princeton at Dillon Gymnasium. Senior Alexis Crusey notched her
second consecutive double-double with 10 kills and 11 digs as the
Bulldogs took the match by set scores of 25-12, 25-16 and 25-21.
Sophomore Bridget Hearst led all players with 11 kills on 19
errorless swings.
"After last night's defeat, it was nice to come back and play with intensity against a tough Princeton team", said Yale Head Coach Erin Appleman.
With the victory, Yale improves to 17-3 overall and 7-2 in the Ivy League. The Bulldogs have now won four consecutive matches against the Tigers and eight straight contests after a defeat. Princeton falls to 7-13 overall and 5-4 in Ancient Eight play.
Senior Cat Dailey added seven kills and eight digs for the Bulldogs, and freshman Haley Wessels tallied six finishers. Sophomore Taylor Cramm registered five kills, senior Laurel Johnson picked up three and freshman Kerry Clavadetscher had one kill from the setter spot. Clavadetscher dished out a match-best 35 assists, and junior libero Kelly Ozurovich shared the team high in digs with 11.
The Bulldogs took four of the first five points to start the match, but the Tigers responded with a four-point spurt of their own to take an early 5-4 lead. An ace from Dailey and a pair of Princeton attack errors keyed the next run, a five-point streak for the Bulldogs to regain the lead at 9-5. The Bulldogs continued to roll to a 10-point advantage at 17-7, at which point Princeton Head Coach Jolie Ward took her first timeout of the frame. Yale was undeterred by the stoppage, leading by as many as 14 points en route to a 25-12 set-one win.
The Bulldogs hit the ground running once again in set two, racing out to a 13-1 advantage, sparked by tough serving from Dailey, to force a Princeton timeout. The Tigers came out of the stoppage firing, chiseling the lead all the way down to five points at 17-12 and causing Appleman to burn a timeout in an attempt to quell the home team's momentum. Yale would run off four straight points out of the timeout to regain a commanding 21-12 edge, and that nine-point cushion proved to be the difference as the Bulldogs took set two, 25-16.
After the intermission, it was Princeton who jumped out to an early lead with a 6-2 edge in set three. The Bulldogs would battle back, however, and the score was soon tied at 10-10. Yale would take the lead at 12-11, and would not relinquish that advantage the rest of the way as a 5-0 run gave the Bulldogs a more comfortable lead at 16-11. Princeton made a late charge, breaking four match-point opportunities, but a Hearst kill ended it with Yale taking the match with a 25-21 win.
Lydia Rudnick led the Princeton offense with 10 kills. Michaela Venuti doled out 22 assists, and Hillary Ford had a match-high 15 digs for the Tigers.

R.J. Hunter, the son of Georgia State coach Ron Hunter, put his wondrous talent on display Wednesday night before a Matthews Arena crowd of 1,845. The 6-foot-5-inch freshman guard tied his career high with 27 points to pin Northeastern with a 78-73 loss that snapped its eight-game winning streak in Colonial Athletic Association action.
"He kind of willed them to victory,'' said NU coach Bill Coen, whose squad (13-8, 8-1) got a team-high 17 points and nine rebounds from Reggie Spencer. NU controlled a 46-39 halftime lead after leading by as many as 11 in the first half only to go nearly 11 minutes between baskets by Spencer and Demetrius Pollard (15 points).
Hunter, who entered the game as the CAA's Rookie of the Week and led the league's freshmen in scoring and rebounding, hit big shot after big shot against the Huskies, sometimes contorting his wiry frame to find his mark.
He elevated for a fadeaway jumper that beat the shot-clock buzzer, calmly knocked down a heavily contested jumper from the top of the key with a hand in his face, and then drained a second-chance trey after an errant attempt wound up getting kicked back out to him on the perimeter.
But there was one shot in the first half that stood out, as far as Coen was concerned.
"He made one in front of our bench along the baseline,'' Coen recalled. "I think it was maybe a foot or two behind the backboard and he arced it over — on the turnaround.''
And yet, for all the marvelous offense he gave his demanding father and his hungry team, it was Hunter's defense that proved critical for the Panthers (11-12, 6-4) when he blocked Jonathan Lee with 17.6 seconds to go as the senior guard drove the lane and attempted to rally the Huskies from a 12-point deficit with a game-tying attempt.
"I've never coached my kid before and it's not the easiest thing in the world,'' said Hunter, who admitted harshly criticizing his son during the break for going through the motions, despite leading all scorers with 12 first-half points.
"It'd drive me crazy when he'd say, 'Dad, I got this, just relax,' '' Ron Hunter said. "For him to tell me to relax, it's crazy. But he's a special player and a really good player.
"When he makes shots like that, he lifts our entire team. He lifts our entire family, to be honest with you.''
It left the Huskies with a sinking feeling, though, especially in the second half when Hunter, who hit 10 of 18 field goals and 5 of 11 from the arc, buried a trey that capped a 22-2 run and gave the Panthers their first double-digit lead of the night, 64-54.
Manny Atkins followed with a jumper that extended Georgia State's lead to 66-54, with 7:49 to go.
"When you dig yourself a hole like that, you really can't have any empty possessions,'' said Coen, whose team hit 8 of 21 field goals in the second half, including 6 of its last 9 after going 2 for 12 at the start of the half. "You have to play nearly perfect down the stretch.''
The Huskies mounted a furious rally in the final 6:47 to pull within 70-69 on Pollard's floater with 2:20 to go, but Hunter answered with a contested jumper.
Joel Smith (16 points) hoisted a trey with 1:31 to go that missed but induced Hunter to commit his fourth personal. Smith went to the line for three foul shots and a chance to tie it but only converted the second attempt, squandering a huge chance.
"I was proud of our guys with the late surge that gave us an opportunity to get back into the game,'' Coen said. "But we just couldn't finish it off.''Michael Vega can be reached at email@example.com.

Falcons decline to give Brooking franchise tag
By Len Pasquarelli
ATLANTA -- Even without a long-term contract agreement by the Thursday afternoon deadline for designating "franchise" or "transition" veterans, the Atlanta Falcons have decided not to use one of the restrictive markers on star middle linebacker Keith Brooking, ESPN.com has confirmed.
The decision does not necessarily mean the two-time Pro Bowl performer will go on the open market, since the free agency period does not begin until Feb. 28, providing the Falcons and Brookings' representatives eight more days to potentially negotiate a contract. It does, however, increase chances that the five-year veteran could depart in free agency.
Citing salary cap issues, and the need to budget finances for improving the team in several need areas, Atlanta officials have hinted in recent days that they would not use the "franchise" designation to limit the mobility of their top defensive player.
Placing the "franchise" tag on Brooking would have meant an immediate cap charge of $5.614 million. That would have significantly reduced the team's current salary cap cushion.
Ironically, one of the veteran free agents Atlanta was expected to ardently pursue in free agency, Buffalo wide receiver Peerless Price, was tagged with a "franchise" designation by the Bills on Wednesday evening. Teams have until 4 p.m. Thursday to exercise a "franchise" or "transition" marker.
Agent Pat Dye spoke twice with Falcons vice president Ray Anderson on Wednesday and made no progress toward a long-term deal for Brooking. It appears no deal is imminent, even though Brooking, a Georgia native, has reiterated in recent days he will accept a lesser offer to stay with the team that made him its first-round choice in the 1998 draft.
Clearly, the Falcons have played on Brookings' emotions in negotiations, and counted on receiving a "home-town discount" of sorts.
While the Falcons are believed to be offering a $10 million signing bonus, the structure of their proposal and the payout is said to be inferior to that of the six-year extension defensive end Patrick Kerney signed last year.
That deal easily voids after four years, includes a signing bonus of $8.5 million, and is worth $25.04 million over four seasons. Extrapolating the Kerney signing bonus over the six-year model with which both Anderson and Dye have been working, the signing bonus would be $12.75 million.
Arguably one of the game's top four middle linebackers, Brooking, 27, might actually command a signing bonus of $12 million-$13 million as an unrestricted free agent. In informal surveys, the general managers from two other teams have indicated to ESPN.com they would consider such a bonus for Brooking, if he were on the open market.
Most teams have anticipated that the Falcons would never allow Brooking to reach unrestricted free agency. Reached at the annual predraft combine in Indianapolis, the personnel director of one AFC team said he is "shocked" to learn that Atlanta will not apply the "franchise" designation to Brooking.
A former Georgia Tech standout, Brooking became the fifth defender in franchise history to record over 200 tackles in 2002. He is the rare middle linebacker who actually stays on the field for all three downs, and that is part of what makes him attractive to other teams, if he is in free agency.

Are we the only people in the county not going anywhere fancy for spring break? No, of course not. It just seems that way to the kids.
When I picked Holly up from soccer practice Tuesday night, she was in rare form.
"It's not, 'Are you going anywhere?' but, 'Where are you going?'" she repeated, laughing.
Apparently, comparing itineraries to exotic locales was all the rage between soccer drills. Our own plans are super fantabulous, too. Yes, indeed. For one thing, in addition to keeping up with her regular pup-sitting gig, Holly and I will make repeated treks back and forth across the street to care for Victor and Chirpy, the kitty and birdie who live there, while our dear neighbors play in sunny Florida. (Make no mistake; Holly takes great pride in being trusted with these jobs. I, for my part, enjoy perusing my neighbors' bookshelves for a good book to borrow, but I digress.)
Yes, Holly is super-pumped about our stay-cation. She plans to "party down."
"Chirpy, get ready to do the chicken dance!" she quipped, as she slung her soccer bag into the back seat and shut the car door.
My other kid is also excited about our vacation plans.
Yes, first thing Monday morning, on their very first day of spring break, my children will have their annual physicals. What kind of mother does that? (Yeah, what was I thinking?)
Always a good time, my nearly 16-year-old son reminded me, wincing. Whatever. And then we'll all come home and play "clean up, clean up" a la "Barney." Come on, you know the ditty. "Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere. Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share." Because, of course, with all that melting snow, all kinds of treasures were revealed. And I do mean all kinds. In the shrinking snowbank by the garage, I spotted my favorite barrette. I'd all but given it up for lost. But that's not all that was spotted.
"Mom, there is a spectacular amount of dog poop in the yard. It's disgusting," Holly announced after school on that weird day last week when most of the snow suddenly vanished. Yes, it was disgusting, but such is life when you have a dog who had to go outside to do his thing during a polar vortex that didn't let up for more than TWO WHOLE MONTHS.
I'll spare you the gory details about just how much dog poop was out there, but take my word for it, it was an impressive amount. And without even being asked, my girl simply picked it all up. Wow. She was disgusted the whole time, but still, bless her heart, she did it.
I encouraged her to consider the winter we just had (shush, I KNOW it's not over yet), and how irrational it'd have been for any one of us to follow the big-red-dog around the yard during those snowstorms in such frigid conditions to clean up after him, but she was too disgusted to listen.
It's bad enough he had to be out there. It was so bitter-cold there were times he did the deed whilst balanced on three paws. (I sure hope he couldn't hear us giggling from our warm spots on the warm side of the windowsill.)
My comments about the resulting, fascinating sedimentary layers of veritable veterinarian-wannabe research material had little merit, according to my little poop-scooper. (Insert eye-roll here.)
Well, remind me to give the girl a raise. I may just take her out to lunch. Ooh, Aliano's new lunch buffet will be just the thing. Have you heard? Every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for just $9.95 you can get an awesome meal whilst sampling many of their signature dishes.
I may just have to take her out twice, though (it WAS a lot of poop), so maybe we'll also hit up the Thai village for their yummy pad thai and pot-stickers.
Yes, and we'll sit at our favorite seat, by the window. Oh, and then we'll head over to O' Sole Mio for dessert, because I'm addicted to their salted caramel gelato. But maybe we should have lunch there, instead? So many sweet choices in Batavia!
Fun food aside, nothing will erase how scandalized Holly was by that chore. And yet, there's more. You know, the random, odd bits of trash that always seem to surface when the snow melts, along with those tiny empty whiskey bottles that inevitably get tossed into our yard as folks stumble home from whatever good time they were apparently having.
Oh, the sedimentary layers and trash from bygone days! You know, it's a veritable archaeological dig. It's a wonder I don't just home-school. Who needs spring break, anyway? I bet there's a lot more out there besides poop, whiskey bottles and my favorite barrette.
Maybe we should rent one of those metal-detector thingies? Yeah, that's the ticket. It'll be just like a day at the beach.
• Jennifer DuBose lives in Batavia with her husband, Todd, and their two children, Noah and Holly. Contact her at email@example.com.
Tales from the Motherhood: Spring break stay-cation is no week at the beach
Are we the only people in the county not going anywhere fancy for spring break? No, of course not. It just seems that way to the kids.

Phil Noto of Palmer Township is a self-appointed food fraud expert. While stationed in Germany during his years in the Army, he made countless visits to Italy where he was able to enjoy "quality Italian dishes."
"I got spoiled," says 62-year-old Noto. "When I'd come back to the U.S., I felt like I was eating garbage."
Noto, president and co-owner of Santisi Imports, says the business started in 2005 as more of a hobby to bring extra virgin olive oil produced by his cousin's factory in Sicily (Santisi is named after the street the factory is on) back to America. After selling the product primarily to friends and family out of his garage, he began to sell to commercial customers.

- Product Review (submitted on April 10, 2009):
- Been riding 45 years and I've seen a lot of gloves. These are durable and comfortable and serve well as three-season gloves in moderate climates. Suggestion: The wrist strap tends to pull out of the D-ring and is hard to thread it back through once you have the gloves on. It was a nuisance. I punched a hole in the end of the strap (after it was through the D-ring) and tied a leather lace through the hole to prevent future pull-outs.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Tigers hand Patton 100th win at W-G
WAYNESFIELD — The first win of the season for the Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers also was the 100th victory for Ted Patton as the varsity coach of the girls basketball team.
The Tigers grabbed an early lead and continued to build on the score as they defeated the Vanlue Wildcats, 66-38.
The night proved to be made more special as Patton reached the milestone with the Tigers in front of a home crowd as Patton celebrated his victory with his team and friends after the game. Patton has more career wins since he also coached the varsity girls basketball team at Perry High School.
Patton credited the Tigers rebounding for gaining an early advantage and winning the game.
Tiger guard Kaylee Patton hit a double-double, collecting 11 rebounds for the game, and hitting for 25 points. Patton scored 28 points Friday against the Wapakoneta Redskins.
Patton found rebounding help in Kindsey Salyer-Watts, who cleared the glass with 10 rebounds, and center Rebecca Stephens, who grabbed seven boards.
Stephens also helped on the offensive end of the floor with 13 points, while Salyer-Watts contributed with eight points.
"I think we were a little bigger than they were and that helped us with rebounds," Patton said. "Our free throw shooting has to improve."
The Tigers hit 16-of-26, or 62 percent, from the free throw line.
"Our quickness made us able to penetrate and we scored off of our transition," Patton said.
"I think the girls are playing well and I hope to continue as the season goes."
The Tigers forced 22 Vanlue turnovers. Turnovers and missed second shots hurt the Wildcats along with missed free throws.
"We didn't execute very well on offense tonight," Wildcat varsity coach Todd Richards said. "We had a lot of reach-in foals by not playing good defense. The missed shots and rebounds came back to haunt us because Waynesfield-Goshen is very good and they will win their fair share."
The Tigers host the Allen East Mustangs at 11 a.m. Saturday at 11:00 a.m. in another non-league match-up.
The Tigers improved to 1-1 on the season. As the Wildcats fall on their season opener to 0-1, they hope to improve as they play Hopewell-Louden tonight.
W-G won the JV contest 49-17.

Mike Carp had three RBI and the Boston Red Sox wrapped up the AL East on Friday with a 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
After clinching a playoff spot Thursday, the Red Sox captured the division for the first time since 2007, and just a year removed from finishing in last place.
David Ortiz also drove in a run, while Daniel Nava was 2-for-5 with two runs scored for the Red Sox, who have won two straight and five of seven. Jon Lester (15-8) gave up a run on five hits with two walks and eight strikeouts over seven innings.
Adam Lind hit a two-run homer and Rajai Davis was 2-for-5 with two runs scored for the Blue Jays, who have dropped seven of 10 and will finish the season in last place in the AL East. Esmil Rogers (5-8) gave up two runs on three hits and five walks in just 2 1/3 innings to take the loss.
Dustin Pedroia doubled to start the first for Boston, moved to third on a fly out and scored on a wild pitch for a quick 1-0 lead.
Boston made it a 2-0 game in the third as Carp worked a bases-loaded walk to score Nava.
In the fifth, Davis singled with two outs and then stole second and third. A single from Brett Lawrie made it a 2-1 game.
An RBI single from Ortiz in the seventh and a two-run base hit from Carp later in the frame padded Boston's lead to 5-1.
Toronto trimmed its deficit to two in the eighth as Davis doubled to start the frame and later scored on Lind's 23rd homer of the year to make it a 5-3 contest.
Pedroia, though, got a run back in the bottom of the eighth as his single scored Will Middlebrooks, who singled and stole second.
Koji Uehara, who got the final two outs of the eighth, pitched a scoreless ninth for his 20th save of the season.
Game Notes
Lester has won his past three decisions ... Toronto center fielder Colby Rasmus was pulled from the game during warmups after he was hit in the face by a ball ... Boston has won 10 of the 17 games against Toronto this season.

Two churches come together for joint vacation Bible school in LondonderryBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
April 17. 2013 10:38PM
LONDONDERRY - Two local congregations that once battled over their rights to the Londonderry Presbyterian Church will be together again this summer when they join forces to host an ambitious vacation Bible school.
In late June, dozens of volunteers from both the Presbyterian church and Orchard Christian Fellowship will gather at the quaint, white chapel on the corner of Mammoth and Pillsbury roads for a week of fun, fellowship and life lessons.
In recent months, congregants of both parishes have had some valuable life lessons of their own as old friends reunited and bridges were mended.
The two congregations were divided into two separate groups in fall 2007, when the majority of congregants voted to break away from the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) denomination and become affiliated with the more conservative Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
PCUSA was awarded rights to the church in summer 2008, but a settlement entitled EPC members to a 15-acre lot located between the Londonderry Presbyterian Church (LPC) and the town's historical society complex.
The EPC members, now known as Orchard Christian Fellowship, will open the doors to their newly built church early this summer. Until then, the church will continue hosting its services at Matthew Thornton Elementary School.
During a recent meeting between members of both congregations, where staff members began planning for the joint vacation Bible school, it was clear the two congregations were on their way to becoming good neighbors.
According to Orchard Christian Fellowship's education director, Lisa Powers, the two churches are expecting anywhere between 200 and 400 children to attend the June 24-28 vacation Bible school.
Last summer, a shortage of volunteers forced the LPC to cancel its annual week of camp, while the Orchard congregation held its camp at Calvary Bible Church in Derry.
The idea to hold a joint vacation Bible school came about during a recent meeting of Londonderry clergy, when Orchard Pastor Ken Glasier and members of the Presbyterian church learned of each congregation's respective challenges.
"It seemed the perfect solution to everyone's problems," LPC member Lucille Robbins said.
By combining LPC's spacious sanctuary, fenced-in play area and many classrooms with the decorating talents of Orchard's Karen Richards, June should be a record month for both congregations.
The theme of this year's vacation Bible school is Kingdom Rock, and everyone agreed that the oversize stained-glass windows gracing the LPC sanctuary would work perfectly with the medieval décor that's being planned.
"We were thinking of making some tissue paper windows, but now we don't have to," Orchard member Mary Calawa said.
Richards, who was taking measurements and sketching ideas during a recent visit to LPC, said she's excited about her latest project.
"Vacation Bible school kind of consumes you for the months leading up to it," she said with a grin. "It sort of takes over my house."
Members of both churches will gather for further brainstorming later this month and in early May.

Increasing Access: Richard Shephard L'15
BOLD AMBITIONS has opened the doors to Penn Law wider than ever. We have dramatically strengthened our ability to offer the finest legal education to students who live up to our academic standards, regardless of means.
I am very thankful for the assistance given to me through scholarship support here at Penn Law. Because I receive financial aid, I am able to pursue a career in education law in an attempt to help close the achievement gap that exists between low income students and their affluent peers. For the past four years, I have worked in Camden, New Jersey as a high school special education teacher and saw first hand the grave inequality that exists among our nation's students. This experience was a wonderfully rewarding period of my life and as a result education reform has become my passion. I grew up in a low income neighborhood where most young people were not expected to graduate from high school, much less college. I was the first in my family to attend and graduate from college and want to help others who may have seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their way. Every child should receive a quality education that prepares them for the rigors of college. My goal is to continue tackling these issues and thanks to Penn Law and all of you I will be able to fight for education reform.

Facebook is cancer on the internet that is eating away creativity and innovation.
I think you'll find the people hacking facebook are very innovative and creative 15 year-olds.
Facebook is the new AOL.
I think you'll find the people hacking facebook are very innovative and creative. TV is the main mind killer.
Actually, fear is the main mind killer. Such as fear of TV killing your mind....
Actually, Zorgath Brain-Melter of Argyle III is the true main mind killer. He has over 18 billion confirmed kills. Fyr Lobotimizer (you mis-spelled his first name) of Satiria VII was relegated to secondary killer after the Mice-and-Figs debacle of '05. The more you know...
I have a computing habit about equal to that of some couch potatoes, and that's one thing I do point out: at least the computer is/can be active instead of passive, at least more often than the TV is active-thinking
For instance, I tend to like strategy games.
As I said in my biopic "Dune", fear is the mind-killer.
Yes, because most of the people on Facebook would be off composing symphonies or expanding human knowledge if they just spent less time posting on peoples' walls.
I'm getting ridiculously tired of this hyperbolic Slashdot crap toward anything some random whackjob who can't even be bothered to post under an account has to say. You don't like Facebook? Good for you. It doesn't make you smarter, it doesn't make your penis bigger, and it sure doesn't make you or your time more valuable than people who do.

And we talked about Friendster (Remember Them?), MySpace (Remember Them), and Facebook. I say they should have sold that site last year. Now with many people being aware of location awarness etc..., my buddies have decided to delete their accounts. I admit I dabbled in it for a week, it was a complete waste of time. Call me old fashioned I still like using the phone and be in person when I talk to my friends.
And I keep saying it over and over again, If I made my thoughts public or let everyone know who
If I made my thoughts public or let everyone know who my friends are I would be in a lot of trouble

I heard it was Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton who 'friended' him. I think he dodged a bullet by deleting his account!
Call me old fashioned I still like using the phone and be in person when I talk to my friends.
Hey old timer, the interesting thing about new communication methods is that they aren't usually meant to kill existing ones -- just like telephone didn't kill in-real-life meetings.
By the way, I'm wondering why you didn't call me instead of posting here?
I still like using the phone and be in person when I talk to my friends.
So do I, but there's no denying it gets a wee bit expensive to sustain when my family are spread across the planet. Hey, how about that...a social networking site that facilitates me communicating with people who are important to me that are thousands of miles away. Neat thing, this Internet...
And to think that I thought that all of those wall postings were because of a sudden surge in my popularity...
Well, at least I'm going to get a free iPhone out of it, or so I've heard.

And that will make you popular!
With the non-stop assault on facebook by every hacker on the planet I have to ask one simple question.
Why do people put every single tidbit of info possible into the info section of their profile?
It's going to get grabbed at some point. No matter how careful you are. Either Facebook is going to change the privacy controls again, opening up another flood gate or a hack is going to allow total access to data.
I regrettably accept the fact that social networking is here to stay. No matter how satanic some of you think it is, it is now a fixture in our lives. But as in the real world I at least use some degree of caution while I use it. Do I have perfect protection. Of course not. No one does. You can get mugged in a police station these days. So no protection is perfect. But good lord some people are just begging to get electronically raped.
For example real time geo updates to your current location + putting in your address into the info tab and having no privacy settings.
This parent post is just a simple example of a breach.
Stupidity and / or naivety. It simple does not occur to some people that exposing their personal details on the internet equivalent of a Times Square billboard is a terrible thing to do.
Facebook is set to show your birthday by default, and show who your friends are. My mom's never going to be on Facebook, so nobody's going to get her maiden name that way, and my birthday's set to "January 1, Random Year", so it's not showing the quasi-passwords to half the information in the world, but arrgh.
What's worse is Ancestry.com, where if you're using it to share genealogy research, it typically *is* going to show your birthday and mother's maiden name... On the other hand, they're not trying to
You dp realize that if your birth was registered in the USA the contents of your birth certificate are almost certainly public information, right?
The problem is, like your SSN, some companies ASSume that anyone who can tell them your birthdate must be you.
Yes, the information's out there - but it's not in a conveniently accessible indexed format that anybody can get to without problems. (Of course, if you want official copies, it's become worse since the Patriot Act - try getting a driver's license reissued if you don't have an official copy of your birth certificate, and try getting an official copy of your birth certificate if you can't show your driver's license...)
The other day I accidentally went to facebok.com. It was pretty obviously a typo squat, but what was more alarming was that the fake survey they provided had some correct information filled out (age, sex, etc..) Try it with and without cookies and it seems that that info is stored either locally or via the advertiser information sharing.
Facebook does not share information with advertisers. Facebook's ad system acts as a broker: an advertiser submits an ad, a demographic they wish to see the ad (e.g., gender, age, geographic locale), and a bid. Facebook pairs those ads with users that match the criteria.
I work for Facebook, as an engineer in search.
How do spammers sleep at night? Do they realize how big of a douche they look like?
Probably too busy rolling around in piles of cash to care. Same with investment bankers and auto execs.
I have ways of making money that you know nothing of. -- John D. Rockefeller

|Assistant Coach
|Previous College:
|3rd Year
UMBC alum Steve Settembrino was named assistant men's lacrosse coach at his alma mater in August of 2013.
Settembrino competed as a defenseman for the Retrievers from 2005-09 and was a part of four consecutive squads that competed in the NCAA Tournament. He earned the team's Unsung Hero award after his senior campaign.
The Yorktown Heights, N.Y. native saw action in 35 games in his first three seasons, but started at close defense in all 16 contests in 2009. UMBC allowed only 8.14 goals per game that season, good for eighth in the nation in goals against average in the regular season and Settembrino finished second on that squad with eight caused turnovers.
He was selected to compete in the 68th Annual USILA North-South Game in May of 2009.
Settembrino has risen quickly through the coaching ranks since earning his bachelor's degree in American studies. He served as an assistant coach at Arlington (Va.) High School in 2010 and then spent two stellar campaigns as an assistant coach at Mercyhurst (Pa.) College. He helped guide the Lakers to an NCAA Division II national title in 2011 and an undefeated regular season in 2012. Nationally, Settembrino's defensive units were ranked fourth (5.6 goals against per game) and second (5.2) respectively in his two campaigns in Erie.
Settembrino earned a master's degree in special education at Mercyhurst in 2013.
He returned to his home state in 2012-13 as an assistant coach/defensive coordinator at Binghamton University. The Bearcat defense led the America East Conference in scoring defense and led the nation in man-down defense at 86.2 percent.
Settembrino also served as recruiting coordinator during his stint in Vestal.
"We are delighted to have Steve Settembrino return to UMBC as a member of our men's lacrosse coaching staff," said Zimmerman. "Steve has proven to be a highly effective coach and mentor during stints at both at Mercyhurst and Binghamton. He is respected by his colleagues for his passion for teaching and knowledge of the game of lacrosse. As a former Retriever, Steve has the admiration and support of our alums. All in all, Steve is a great fit for our program and everyone is excited for him to be back on campus."

Three Bodies Found in Alton Identified by Police
Police are investigating the deaths of three people in the town of Alton.
A woman and two men were discovered dead inside a home on the Alton Tannery Road last night after a woman went to the home.
Police have identified the victims as 43-year-old Scott Reed and his wife, 39-year-old Danielle Folsom Reed. Also found in the Reeds' home was the body of Daniel Young, a friend of Scott Reed.
Investigators say a woman who visited the home found the body of one man and called 9-1-1. Police found the others. At this point, police are not speculating about what might have happened.
Investigators spent much of the night gathering evidence and talking with people who knew the victims.
Autopsies are expected to be completed today.

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNR) today announced preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Financial Update
Based on preliminary results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, Avanir estimates:
"We are delighted with the progress that we continue to make on a quarterly basis with our commercial efforts around NUEDEXTA," said Keith Katkin, president and CEO of Avanir. "Additionally, the team continues to be cost conscious and I anticipate that we will report total year operating expenses, excluding cost of product sales and non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization at the lower end of our $94 to $96 million guidance."
Clinical Update
The company also announced that it has initiated the first-in-human Phase I clinical trial of AVP-786 (formerly known as deuterated dextromethorphan). The trial is designed to assess the single and multiple dose pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of AVP-786 administered to healthy subjects.
Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in this randomized crossover study to compare multiple dose levels of AVP-786 (alone and in combination with quinidine) with dextromethorphan/quinidine. The pharmacokinetic study of AVP-786 is expected to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2013.
Joao Siffert, MD, senior vice president of R&D at Avanir, said, "Dosing of the first human subject with AVP-786 is an important milestone as we work to develop this next generation compound. One goal of this study is to assess if deuteration of dextromethorphan in AVP-786 confers metabolic properties similar to the combination of dextromethorphan with quinidine. We believe data from this study will be informative for the selection of one or more quinidine sparing formulations of AVP-786 to take forward into further clinical development."
About AVP-786
The incorporation of deuterium into specific molecular positions of dextromethorphan, resulting in AVP-786, maintains the pharmacology of dextromethorphan and provides significantly enhanced resistance to CYP2D6 metabolism and improved plasma exposure in preclinical testing.
About NUEDEXTA
NUEDEXTA is an innovative combination of two well-characterized components; dextromethorphan hydrobromide (20 mg), the ingredient active in the central nervous system, and quinidine sulfate (10 mg), a metabolic inhibitor enabling therapeutic dextromethorphan concentrations. NUEDEXTA acts on sigma-1 and NMDA receptors in the brain, although the mechanism by which NUEDEXTA exerts therapeutic effects in patients with PBA is unknown.
NUEDEXTA Important Safety Information
NUEDEXTA is indicated for the treatment of pseudobulbar affect (PBA). PBA occurs secondary to a variety of otherwise unrelated neurological conditions, and is characterized by involuntary, sudden, and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying. PBA episodes typically occur out of proportion or incongruent to the underlying emotional state.
Studies to support the effectiveness of NUEDEXTA were performed in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). NUEDEXTA has not been shown to be safe and effective in other types of emotional lability that can commonly occur, for example, in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
NUEDEXTA (dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate) 20/10 mg capsules can interact with other medications causing significant changes in blood levels of those medications and/or NUEDEXTA which may lead to serious side effects. Adjust dose or use alternate treatment of the other medication when clinically indicated.
NUEDEXTA is contraindicated in patients concomitantly taking: QT-prolonging drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 (e.g., thioridazine and pimozide); monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within the preceding or following 14 days; other drugs containing quinidine, quinine, or mefloquine and in patients with a known hypersensitivity to these drugs or any of NUEDEXTA's components. Discontinue use of NUEDEXTA if hepatitis, thrombocytopenia, serotonin syndrome or a hypersensitivity reaction occurs.
NUEDEXTA is contraindicated in patients with certain risk factors for arrhythmia: Prolonged QT interval; congenital long QT syndrome, history suggestive of torsades de pointes; heart failure; complete atrioventricular (AV) block or risk of AV block without an implanted pacemaker.
NUEDEXTA causes dose-dependent QTc prolongation. When initiating NUEDEXTA in patients at risk for QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, electrocardiographic (ECG) evaluation should be conducted at baseline and 3-4 hours after the first dose. Risk factors include left ventricular hypertrophy or dystrophy or concomitant use of drugs that prolong QT interval or certain CYP3A4 inhibitors.
The most common adverse reactions are diarrhea, dizziness, cough, vomiting, asthenia, peripheral edema, urinary tract infection, influenza, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase, and flatulence. NUEDEXTA may cause dizziness. Precautions to reduce the risk of falls should be taken, particularly for patients with motor impairment affecting gait or a history of falls.
These are not all the risks from use of NUEDEXTA. Please refer to the accompanying full Prescribing Information or visit www.NUEDEXTA.com.

MIAMI — Chris Paul will get to his knee in a minute.
First it's time to discuss the reason his hand was patting Eric Bledsoe on the rear the previous night, with the Clippers' understudy point guard showing his mentor he's ready for a starring role.
"I tell people all the time," Paul said of Bledsoe, the emerging talent who scored 27 points during a victory Wednesday over the Orlando Magic, "he's a starter in this league coming off our bench."
Paul then shifted to why his feet scurried over to referees during a second-quarter timeout in the Magic game, the savvy spokesman contending that Matt Barnes shouldn't have received a technical foul for throwing the ball off the basket stanchion and pointing out that Barnes wasn't upset with the officiating.

Monday Night Football: QPR defending unexplainable, says Sky Sports' Gary Neville
Gary Neville was left baffled by QPR's defending at the weekend but thinks they could still escape relegation.
Last Updated: 25/02/13 10:16pm
A 2-0 defeat by league leaders Manchester United on Saturday left Harry Redknapp's team at the foot of the table and seven points from safety with just 11 matches remaining in the season.
There was little QPR could do to stop Rafael from opening the scoring with a wonderful strike but Sky Sports expert Neville was less than impressed with the defending which allowed Ryan Giggs to add United's second.
Jose Bosingwa permitted Danny Welbeck to set up the goal while Stephane Mbia moved away from play, seemingly adjusting his gloves rather than focusing on the game, before Clint Hill and Christopher Samba were caught out of position.
"You can talk about tactics and analysis all you like," Neville said on Monday Night Football. "You can potentially say, 'Okay, Clint Hill, you maybe should have gone in there'. You can maybe say, 'Samba, you should have adjusted your position.'
"They are tactical, football points - players maybe not seeing the danger early enough. (But) I cannot understand what Bosingwa and Mbia have done.
"They are things which go beyond football analysis, because, to walk away from the game, which is something Mbia has done, is unexplainable."
But Neville does not think QPR are certain to be relegated and the former England international and ex-United defender is in no doubt about the importance of this weekend's game at Southampton, who sit 16th in the table and 10 points above their next visitors.
Neville reckons the factors in QPR's favour are the presence of manager Redknapp, who steered Portsmouth to safety in 2005/06 when they had been eight points from survival with 11 games remaining, and a favourable fixture list for the rest of the season.
After Southampton, QPR also still have fellow strugglers Aston Villa, Wigan Athletic and Reading to play before May and wins in those matches could let them potentially climb out of the relegation zone.
"When I see the things that are happening (against United), it is not what I think of in the Premier League - fighting to get into challenges and getting across the sides," said Neville.
"But I sense that, two or three months out, this thought is going deeper into the back of this thick skull that QPR still could, and may, get out of it (relegation).
"Southampton could almost put QPR to bed on Saturday. But if QPR win and bring Southampton back into them, they could potentially go on a run."

POE::Component::FastCGI - POE FastCGI server
You can use this module with a direct subroutine callback:
use POE; use POE::Component::FastCGI; POE::Component::FastCGI->new( Port => 1026, Handlers => [ [ '/' => \&default ], ] ); sub default { my($request) = @_; my $response = $request->make_response; $response->header("Content-type" => "text/html"); $response->content("A page"); $response->send; } POE::Kernel->run;
and a POE event callback:
use POE; use POE::Component::FastCGI; POE::Component::FastCGI->new( Port => 1026, Handlers => [ [ '/' => 'poe_event_name' ], ] Session => 'MAIN', ); sub default { my($request) = @_; my $response = $request->make_response; $response->header("Content-type" => "text/html"); $response->content("A page"); $response->send; }
Provides a FastCGI (http://www.fastcgi.com/) server for POE.
Creates a new POE session for the FastCGI server and listens on the specified port.
Parameters Auth (optional) A code reference to run when called as a FastCGI authorizer. Handlers (required) A array reference with a mapping of paths to code references or POE event names. Port (required unless Unix is set) Port number to listen on. Address (requied if Unix is set) Address to listen on. Unix (optional) Listen on UNIX socket given in Address. Session (required if you want to get POE callbacks) Into which session we should post the POE event back.
The call returns a POE session ID. This should be stored, and when application is to be terminated, a 'shutdown' event can be posted to this session. This will terminate the server socket and free resources.
The handlers parameter should be a list of lists defining either regexps of paths to match or absolute paths to code references.
The code references will be passed one parameter, a POE::Component::FastCGI::Request object. To send a response the
make_response method should be called which returns a POE::Component::FastCGI::Response object. These objects are subclasses of HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response respectively.
Example: Handlers => [ [ '/page' => \&page ], [ qr!^/(\w+)\.html$! => sub { my $request = shift; my $response = $request->make_response; output_template($request, $response, $1); } ], ]
Many webservers have support for FastCGI. PoCo::FastCGI has been tested on Mac OSX and Linux using lighttpd.
Currently you must run the PoCo::FastCGI script separately to the webserver and then instruct the webserver to connect to it.
Lighttpd configuration example (assuming listening on port 1026):
$HTTP["host"] == "some.host" { fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ( "localhost" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 1026, "check-local" => "disable", "docroot" => "/" ) ) ) }
With mod_fastcgi on Apache the equivalent directive is
