I'm like you, I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does. My friend Chris IM'ed me a bit ago and said he was preparing to "do the deed" and he wanted some suggestions of songs that would set the mood. Now, since I'm a virgin (insert roaring laughter here), I can only imagine what songs I would listen to in that magical moment when the lights go down and it's just the two of us (you and me, that is). So, I sat down and went through my playlist noting the songs that do the trick when I'm ready to get my freak on. I'm not sure what this says about me, mind you, but I'd love it if you'd play along by making your own freak-freak compilation for the one you love and give it a go. Meanwhile, if you're feeling lonely and you want to make your move, I think I'm free like on Wednesday. But call before you drop by, I have to clean up the place and make it look nice.
Now get out the candles and incense. It's going down.

On Censorship –
When I began these studies I made a conscious decision not to censor myself or my work as I felt I had missed out on opportunities when I did my BA for some degree of exploration. I have not set out to be deliberately provocative, but likewise I have not pulled my punches either. I have simply allowed myself the freedom to use the naked male to represent certain ideas and question others. But we have just come to a stage whereby censorship has the chance to actually impact upon my work & how it is shown. First came a comment on my work…paraphrasing it basically said 'I like your work, but wonder had you thought about leaving the model out?' – I may be being hyper-sensitive but surely any viewer can recognise the naked male form is the key to what I am exploring? It is an interesting stand-point and one I am not sure how to react to. The second more important issue to be addressed comes with the setting-up of our joint exhibition and the publicity material that will need to be produced. I am the only practitioner that is creating images that are so obviously controversial (it could be that other artists have more subtle representations that could be culturally miss-read). There could be a problem of the group exhibition & group poster when it comes to my nude work. What do I do in this situation? Do I censor myself? Do the design team censor it? The problems this raises in different countries and cultures. It feeds back to my questioning of the censorship of the naked male in comparison to the naked female in photographic art. And there is still the problem for myself to resolve in finding an exhibition space that may be willing to show representations of the naked male. All very interesting, but highly problematic on a practical level. Gary pointed me in the direction of a Japanese photographer who physically veiled his prints in order to stop the police prosecuting him & still allowing the exhibition to continue. I must respect such a creative reaction to censorship.
On Feedback
Some things that were raised in this weeks tutorials need to feed back into my practise in either actions to consider or research to be done. I need to continue my use of mirrors as I feel (and tutors seem to agree) they have the potential to be an powerful metaphor as a weapon against poor self-image. I shouldn't get too hung-up on only capturing mirror shots to the extent that they become repetitive & clichéd. It has been pointed out my use of the reclining nude which is traditionally associated with the female form in Western Art. My use gives a more contemporary perspective in use of the male body & the gay male body & the non-standard (ie not Adonis). Pornography (and it's easy availability due to the internet) is skewing our ideas of the representation of what the body should be. Gay imagery is often more provocative & I like to think mine is more sensitive(?)
I try to avoid deliberate posing; preferring to allow them to pose(!) themselves in order that they feel comfortable as they are already in the exposed position of being naked in their home environment being the subject of a fully-clothed photographers gaze and the threatening gaze of the camera (Sontag, p.65). Is the reclined pose merely the most relaxed the model can be when they are sitting for an artist rather than a specifically suggestive and passive pose. As my models assume these poses – are they entirely natural or are they subconsciously assuming poses drawn from high-art? Is there really a bravery in showing everything full-frontal? Certainly for the model, but have I become so accustomed to seeing the nude that I forget what a controversial image he still is? I need to ensure my naked forms are not sexually provocative – the major difference between the naked & the nude is the nude's ability to arouse whereas the naked should be more innocent. Finding the balance of acceptability so that my naked forms are so natural that they cannot offend.
Sontag, S. On Photography (New York: Penguin Books, 1977)

Behind the People Series
Sharon always did figurative work, some more realistic, some more abstract.
While living in Calgary, just above the city center, Sharon became aware that Chinatown was a treasure trove of people living a way of life that could soon be engulfed by the growth of the modern city. While a more modern Chinatown still exists in Calgary, the resulting series of paintings depicting the people living in the old town was well received and now captures a time lost.
While living in Boulder, Colorado, Sharon became intrigued with the many characters that make up that colourful town. The series captures the individual nature of man in today's world of conformity.
Time wandering Laguna Beach on the coast of California seeing the bright colours and shapes of people being themselves led to the Beach series.
Another significant cultural change that impacted the world of art was the introduction of video games. While this phenomenon has reached far beyond "pong" and the animation of comic type heroes, the graphics and fascination of young people in the battle between good and evil depicted in so many of the games resulted in the Video Arcade series.
When Sharon moved to Vancouver, she had the opportunity within the same period of time to visit Europe and the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver which focuses on the history of the natives of the West Coast of Canada. The striking contrast between the depiction of Monuments and Pedestals from such differing cultures at the same historical point in time, led to this series.
The Tribute series was done as a reaction and in respect for the artists that had had significant impact on Sharon's work.
Behind the Animals Series
Sharon was always close to nature, having grown up on a farm. But her enjoyment of nature stemed from a life long study of animals - be they large Draft Horses or the smallest Birds.
The Draft Horses Series range from being comparatively realistic to abstract, and were a series that followed Sharon throughout her life, as she portrayed these animals from when they helped open up our country, to their role in today's society being loved and appreciated for their strength and enjoyment of hard work. There were two one person shows within the 155 draft horse paintings, "Power and Grace" at the Wallace Galleries and "The Long Ride" at the Leighton Centre.
Birds were an abiding passion for Sharon, as anyone who knew her came to understand. They provided infinite enjoyment during a walk in the forest, before and after a day's painting. They also provided inspiration for many large and small abstract paintings depicting their place in our world.
Only those who have attended a country fair would appreciate the fun that local children have in competing in the "Best Dressed Cow" contest.
While residing in Calgary during the dotcom boom of the 1990's, Sharon saw an intrinsic link between the bulls that were so much a part of that prairie town, and the stock market bulls in the spiraling market. The result was the abstract Riding the Bull series.
One of Sharon's last series "West Van Crows" is a culmination of observing and getting to know them for a period of over 20 years. Sharon's fascination of crows began when she encountered "Little Scruffy", a baby crow that was caught in a cold storm in West Vancouver. Next to him was his mother, an old crow who rested in a big pine for years before it was cut down. "I learned that a family group of up to fifteen crows lived in "their" territory. It was the beginning of a relationship with crows that was going to go both ways and be full of surprises. They have been a delightful subject - fun to paint because of their individual characters and expressiveness."
Behind the Nature Series
Sharon's works of scenes from Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver represent modern man in today's world enjoying nature.
Spring Flowers and gifts of flowers always resulted in paintings.
Mother Nature's Pots and Pans is a whimsical series about the wonder of life and how we have come to be here along with her creatures and plants.
Monsters in the Garden is a web based internet show which runs automatically with music. it prompted the creation of the children's educational colouring book, which can be seen here: Nature's Little Good Guys.
Mother Merganzer is a series best described by Sharon's poem refernced in each painting:
Mother Merganzer, an epic tale, Mother Merganzer with her 4 children, sail on breezy seas.
The wind comes up, and ruffles her feathers, The children leap with glee.
An approaching storm it, would seem to be - the babies settle into her feathers further.
But it is …. a terrible storm … Merganzers. canope of feathers close around, the babies four.
She is tossed in Blackened Seas. A stalwart barge she has become - tiny
Behind the Music Series
While Sharon always enjoyed music, the introduction of the music video on TV generated many visual images of the singers whose words and music had impacted a generation - Sharon's generation. As a result of enjoying these first rock videos, the Rockstars - Poets and Prophets series was started. A half hour segment of the national TV show Much Music documented the show of the series which was held at a local public gallery, and the FREE HAND creation of the images behind it. The interview can be seen here.
"Music is often seen as the highest art form as it communicates most directly and is the most accessible to people. However I see the parallel between artists making music and those making pictures as a similar journey from student to master. By adding skill to talent the Stray Notes evolve into Rock Stars."
Having taught art in various high schools, Sharon always enjoyed the students in their music classes. This resulted in the Stray Notes series.
Behind the Sculptures
Sharon's sculptures range in size from hummingbird nests to quarter size draft horses. The wire underpinning provides for form and strength to these papier maché pieces that were then painted with acrylic.
There are numerous other series not on the website, and in most cases the images shown are just a sampling of the complete series.

"The Freedom Forecast is our collective mandate to develop BYP100's organizational capacity, build deeply in our communities and win a Black Political Agenda that improves the lives of our people."
– Charlene Carruthers, BYP100 Founding Member and National Director
What is the Freedom Forecast?
Created in 2018, the BYP100 Freedom Forecast: An Organizational Assessment and Strategic Plan to Move Black Liberation Forward is not your typical strategic plan. Why would it be? BYP100 isn't your typical organization. Our unique perspectives led us through nearly 12 months of meeting, planning, interviewing, writing and debating with our members, alumni, elders and partners to set a forecast for how we can cultivate more freedoms for our people. The full report, which is over 100 pages long, is filled rich information about our process, the political moment, and an in depth analysis for how to advance the work of the organization through 2021. This poster serves as quick reference towards our core principles and pillars. Read the full report at byp100.org. If you are a BYP100 member, check with BYP100 staff or chapter leadership to obtain a printed copy (availability is limited).
Black Culture
BYP100 is lit! From our swag, to our chants, to our digital media presence, we fight for Black liberation and we look dope doing it. Our aesthetic celebrates Black culture across the diaspora, and draws young Black people into the work. In our organizing, we center Black joy and cultivate Black pride. We build on ancestral practices to heal ourselves and each other. We affirm the brilliance of our membership and we practice shade as a love language.
- Integrate the Principled Struggle into all meetings & practices
- Utilize the support of the Healing and Safety Council
- Create new mediums of Black joy through art and song (ex: Black Joy Experience, MelaNation)
Black Queer Feminist Lens
A Black Queer Feminist Lens (BQFL) allows us to see and understand that our identities make us vulnerable to multiple types of oppression. BQFL recognizes and humanizes Black bodies that have been made inferior and vulnerable within our community including queer, trans*, femme, poor, disabled and undocumented folks. With BQFL, we have carved out a lane for our organization to center historically marginalized people, and we believe it is a necessary starting point for rethinking and remaking our laws, institutions, communities, and ourselves individually and collectively as Black people.
Tips for using BQFL in BYP100:
- Teach members and partners the definition of BQFL, and discuss the impact BQFL has on our ability to shift the future for all Black people.
- Be attuned to the intersectionality of place and privilege in our work, rather than assuming that there is one checklist for "most impacted" that never includes the folks in the room.
Principled Struggle
We struggle for the sake of deepening our collective understanding and getting to greater unity. To do this, we must each commit to: Being honest and direct while holding compassion. Have side conversations and one-on-ones to help us get to better and build us up. Be responsible for our own feelings and actions. Seek deeper understanding (we ask and read first). Consider that this may not be the container to hold what you need to bring.
Our Pillars & Keys to Freedom
Our three core pillars towards freedom are strengthening our organizational capacity, deepening our relationships within the community, and refining our political agenda to aid in the fight for the freedom of all Black people. Each pillar has defined keys to freedom. Members can use the keys to develop stronger chapters, and build power for Black people through 2021.
Organizational Capacity
To do our work best work, our organization must be strong, and we must have the capacity to do it. We identified four key areas to strengthen our organization.
The Keys
Key 1: Develop infrastructure for political education and leadership development.
Key 2: Adopt the Principled Struggle and use it.
Key 3: Redefine how leader-full works in your chapter and define capacity.
Key 4: Examine diverse representation and build strong and enduring ties to our local communities.
Organization Capacity Keywords: Shared strategies. Core curriculum. Paid positions. Member support. Healing and safety.
Community Building
We have a strong desire to build a stronger sense of community with the people from the cities our chapters reside and the current members of BYP100. We identified two key areas to deepen our community building.
The Keys
Key 1: Create space for interaction as often as possible, and build deep political trust across BYP100 membership that is rooted in Black joy and culture.
Key 2: Analyze members and the community to understand their needs, and have generative relationships among all categories of membership.
Organization Capacity Keywords: Authentic. Generative community relationships. Change material conditions for our people.
Black Political Agenda
Our work to center Black women and girls, gender non-conforming, non binary, queer and trans* folk is fundamental to our belief that we are the system of liberation we need to make us free. We identified five key areas to deepen our political agenda, policy, and electoral work.
The Keys
Key 1: Identify a local "bad actor" and mount a campaign to get them out of office.
Key 2: Create a local accountability system for local electeds.
Key 3: Start a no-cop community safety initiative and build alternatives to policing on a super local level.
Key 4: Create a local resource hub for aligned folks to draw on the skills and people that can help them navigate local politics.
Key 5: Collaborate with a partner organization to create an alternative system (e.g., food, housing, or economic cooperative, small scale alternative to policing).
Organization Capacity Keywords:Alternative systems. Community autonomy. Local control. Accountability.
Our Commitments
As BYP100 members, we will work in Principled Struggle to map out one key per pillar to master through 2021. Each quarter, your chapter should review these plans to celebrate victories and refine as needed. This plan is best completed as a small group brainstorm activity with leaders or members who are most interested in moving individual sections forward. Sample questions to answer.
Our Organizational Capacity/ Community Building/Black Political Agenda will be strengthened in three years if we…(start from 2021 and work backwards)
Who are the people best situated in our chapter to work towards achieving these goal? What leadership opportunities can we create? Who is already overcommitted?
What materials or resources do we need to achieve our goals in year one?
What check-in measures will we put in place?
What are the first 3 things we should do it get started?

Los Angeles Clippers
are a professional
team based in
Los Angeles
United States
They play in the
National Basketball Association
(NBA) and are members of the NBA Western Conference's
Pacific Division
The club's home games are played at the
Staples Center
, which they share with the
Los Angeles Lakers
, the
Los Angeles Sparks
, and the
Los Angeles Kings
The team has only six winning seasons in its entire history, and only two since moving to
Los Angeles
Franchise history
The Clippers began in 1970 as the
They were one of three franchises that joined the
in the
season; the others were the
Portland Trail Blazers
Cleveland Cavaliers
Buffalo years (1970–78)
Buffalo Braves logo.
The Braves, in their eight seasons in
Buffalo, New York
, played their home games at the
Buffalo Memorial Auditorium
, sharing the arena with another new franchise, the
Buffalo Sabres
of the
National Hockey League
, who also debuted in 1970.
The team's first
head coach
Hall of Famer
Dolph Schayes
, the franchise's first star players were
Bob Kauffman
Don May
, who were acquired in the
1970 NBA Expansion Draft
However, in the NBA Draft of 1970, Buffalo passed on hometown hero
Calvin Murphy
, a 5 foot 9 point guard from
Niagara University
Murphy would eventually be inducted into the Hall Of Fame. As typical of first-year expansion teams, the Braves finished with a dismal record, going 22–60, seven games ahead of expansion-mate Cleveland, which finished its season at 15–67. Kauffman, who averaged 4.3 points per game the previous year with the
Chicago Bulls
, led Buffalo in scoring with 20.4 points per game and earned a spot on the 1971 NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team.
The Braves repeated their 22–60 record in the following 1971–72 season, but did make good acquisitions that would make the club better.
Buffalo drafted
Elmore Smith
Kentucky State University
, and local favorite
Randy Smith
, from
Buffalo State College
Schayes was replaced one game into the season with John McCarthy as the team's head coach. The team did not do much better in the 1972–73 season, as they went 21–61 under new head coach,
Dr. Jack Ramsay
The Braves' big move that season was drafting forward/center
Bob McAdoo
, from
North Carolina
The team finally made its first playoff appearance in
, where they faced the
Boston Celtics
in the first round and lost in six games.
Bob McAdoo
was awarded the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, averaging 34.5 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.12 blocks per game, while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 80.5 percent from the free-throw line. The Braves made a trip to the playoffs in the 1974–75 season and again during the
1975–76 season
, which would be one of their last in Buffalo.
From 1971–75, the Braves played a total of 16 home games in
Maple Leaf Gardens
in the hopes of expanding their fan base from
Western New York
to also include the
Greater Toronto Area
By the summer of 1976, the team's founding owner
Paul Snyder
was doing all he could to sell the team. The June 15, 1976 issue of Buffalo's Courier-Express blasted the headline "Braves Go to Florida, Leaving 'Hockey Town'."
Snyder had a handshake deal to sell the team to Mr. and Mrs. Irving Cowan, who would move the Braves to
, yet the City of Buffalo filed a $10 million damage suit to block the move.
The sale eventually fell through and the Braves and the city signed a new 15 year Memorial Auditorium lease in July with a provision that the lease could be voided if the team did not sell 5,000 season tickets in any season. Later that summer Snyder finally sold 50 percent of the franchise to businessman
John Y.
Brown, Jr.
, who had previously owned the
Kentucky Colonels
of the
American Basketball Association
. Brown later acquired the remaining half from Snyder sometime in the
1976–77 season
. Brown, in turn, sold a percentage of the team to another businessman,
Harry T.
Mangurian, Jr.
who later went on to own a portion of the
Boston Celtics
in the 1980s. However, a provision in the transaction stipulated that if Brown sold the contract of any Braves player, then the money would go to Snyder and the purchase price would be reduced. This subsequently occurred when the Braves sent McAdoo to the
New York Knicks
for players and cash midway through the 1976–77 season.
Before the first game in the 1976-77 season the Braves also managed to acquire eventual Hall-Of-Fame center Moses Malone from Portland. However after just 2 games in which he played a total of just 6 minutes he was traded to Houston for two draft picks. He would finish this season averaging 13 points & 13 rebounds while eventually winning his first of 3 MVP awards 2 years later. Because of the team's poor play in its final two years (30–52 in 1976–77 and 27–55 in
), along with rumors of the franchise relocating because of low season ticket sales, John Y. Brown met with the Celtics' then-owner, Irv Levin and negotiated a deal in which the owners would swap franchises, with Brown taking control of the Celtics while Levin would get the Braves.
Levin was a
businessman, and wanted to own an NBA team in his native state.
The deal was brokered by
David Stern
, the general counsel for the NBA who would go on to later become the league's current commissioner. Following what would be the final season in western New York, the NBA owners voted 21–1 to let the Braves relocate.
As Levin wanted, the Buffalo Braves moved to
San Diego, California
after the 1977–78 season, and became the San Diego Clippers.
San Diego years (1978–84)
San Diego Clippers logo.
In the team's first season in San Diego, the Clippers posted a winning record, going 43–39, under new head coach
Gene Shue
. However, that record was not good enough to advance them to the post-season, finishing two games out of the final playoff spot. As it turned out, it would be the Clippers' last winning season for 13 years. It was also in that first season in Southern California that long-time announcer
Ralph Lawler
began his association with the club. Randy Smith had another solid season, averaging 20.5 points per game, finishing second behind
World B.
, who was acquired in the offseason from the
Philadelphia 76ers
. Free finished second overall in NBA scoring average, with 28.8 per game, while
George Gervin
of the
San Antonio Spurs
had a 29.6 average.
1979–80 season
was not much better, as the Clippers began to struggle, but not before they brought in San Diego native, center
Bill Walton
, who was two years removed from an NBA championship with the Trail Blazers. Walton was not much of an impact unfortunately, due to missing 68 games because of foot injuries, which he also suffered in his final years in Portland. San Diego managed to finish with a record of 35–47, despite the fact that many of their key players missed games due to injuries. Free continued his great scoring, again finishing second in league scoring, with 30.2 PPG.
Paul Silas
replaced Shue the following season, and the Clippers finished with a 36–46 record, once again missing the postseason. Walton missed the entire season once again due to chronic foot injuries. Free was traded to the
Golden State Warriors
in exchange for guard Phil Smith.
1981–82 season
brought more changes to the Clipper franchise as Irv Levin sold the team to Los Angeles-area real estate developer and attorney
Donald Sterling
20 million. The Clippers' poor play in their final years in San Diego resulted in poor attendance with the team averaging only 4,500 fans per game. Sterling subsequently lobbied the NBA to relocate the team to his native Los Angeles.
Los Angeles years (1984-
Los Angeles Clippers secondary logo
In 1984, the Clippers moved north to
Los Angeles
, playing at the
Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena
The Clippers, under head coach
Jim Lynam
, finished with a disappointing 31–51 record.
The Clippers were hapless for the next seven seasons, including a 12–70 record in the
1986–87 season
that was the second-worst single-season record in NBA history at that time. Marques Johnson and guard
Norm Nixon
were both injured. That same season also saw Hall of Famer
Elgin Baylor
join the team as the general manager and vice president of basketball operations.
In the
1989–90 season
, Baylor made a trade with the Cavaliers that brought
Ron Harper
in exchange for forward
Danny Ferry
and swingman
Reggie Williams
. That move, along with the
1987 NBA Draft
Ken Norman
from the
University of Illinois
, the
1988 draftings
Danny Manning
Charles Smith
(Smith was acquired from Philadelphia in exchange for the draft rights of guard
Hersey Hawkins
), and the
1990 NBA Draft
Loy Vaught
, formed a nucleus that made the franchise a playoff contender.
Midway through the
1991–92 season
, the Clippers made yet another coaching change.
Larry Brown
, who was fired by the Spurs weeks before, was hired as the team's head coach in late January 1992. He replaced
Mike Schuler
, who had led the team to a 22–25 record before his firing. Brown finished the season with a 23–12 mark, for an overall record of 45–37. It was the franchise's first winning season in 13 years. The team also achieved a first that season: for the first time since moving to Los Angeles, the Clippers finished with a better record than the crosstown
Los Angeles Lakers
. The Clippers advanced to the playoffs for the first time in 16 years (since the franchise's Buffalo heyday), but were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the
Utah Jazz
, 3–2.
Due to the late April
1992 Los Angeles riots
Anaheim Convention Center
was the site of Game 4 of the series, which the Clippers won.
The team made the playoffs again in the
1992–93 season
with a 41–41 regular season record, but lost again in five games in the first round, this time to the
Houston Rockets
Brown left the Clippers to become the
Indiana Pacers
head coach, and
Bob Weiss
was brought in to replace him. That
1993–94 season
proved to be one of the worst seasons in Los Angeles NBA history, with both the Clippers and Lakers going a combined 60–104 in the regular season. After one year on the job, Weiss was fired, and veteran head coach
Bill Fitch
was brought in to guide a roster of young and inexperienced players. The Clippers continued to make frequent roster and coaching changes throughout the next several years with only one playoff appearance in
, under Fitch. That team made the playoffs with a losing record (36–46) and were swept in the first round by the eventual Western Conference Champion Jazz, 3 games to none.
From 1994 to 1999, the Clippers played selected home games in the
Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim
, sharing the venue with the
Mighty Ducks
and the
indoor soccer team.
It was speculated that the Clippers might move to play in Anaheim full time.
However, in 1999, the Clippers instead joined the Lakers and
Los Angeles Kings
to christen the new
Staples Center
in downtown Los Angeles.
It was in that first season at Staples Center that the Clippers drafted highly-touted, but oft-troubled, star forward
Lamar Odom
from the
University of Rhode Island
. The Clippers finished with a dismal 15–67 record. The team hired former All-Star (and Los Angeles native)
Dennis Johnson
as an assistant coach, as well as Hall of Fame former Laker great
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
to help tutor second-year center
Michael Olowokandi
. Johnson remained an assistant coach until the middle of the
2002–03 season
, when he took over as head coach. Abdul-Jabbar lasted only one season on the job.
2000–01 season
brought more changes.
Reserve forward
Derek Strong
was sent to the
Orlando Magic
in exchange for second-year forward
Corey Maggette
and the draft rights to guard
Keyon Dooling
The Clippers' two draft picks that year were childhood friends from Illinois: high schooler
Darius Miles
East St. Louis
(3rd overall pick) and
Quentin Richardson
, a guard/forward from
DePaul University
(18th overall pick).
The team became popular among fans with their high-flying style of basketball and the Clippers did improve a bit with a 31–51 record, leading the NBA in bench-scoring with 37 points per game.
To improve upon the previous season, the Clippers acquired high-scoring and rebounding power forward
Elton Brand
from the
Chicago Bulls
in exchange for the draft rights to Los Angeles-area native and high schooler
Tyson Chandler
. At this point of his career, Brand had career averages of 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in just two seasons. Brand's hard work and accomplishments earned him a spot on the 2002 NBA Western Conference All-Star team as an injury replacement for center Shaquille O'Neal of the Lakers. The Clippers contended for most of the season, but won only 3 out of their last 13 games and finished 39–43, 5 games out of the final playoff position.
The 2002 offseason brought more changes, as Miles was traded to the Cavaliers in exchange for point guard
Andre Miller
, who led the NBA in assists in
with 11 per game. Suddenly, with a good point guard in Miller, the playmaker Lamar Odom at small forward, one of the league's best power forwards, Elton Brand, the emerging center Michael Olowokandi, and a very good supporting cast off the bench, the Clippers could actually make a serious run for the playoffs. However, with poor team chemistry and injuries (the Clippers lost 293 man-games to injury), the Clippers finished with a very disappointing 27–55 record. Head coach Alvin Gentry was replaced by Dennis Johnson midway through the
2002–03 season
In the
2003–04 season
, the Clippers lost many of their core players to free agency (Miller, Odom, Olowokandi, and forward
Eric Piatkowski
--one of the longest-tenured players in Clippers history ), while opting to retain Brand and Maggette with long-term contracts. They, along with Richardson, made up one of the NBA best high-scoring trios, with a combined 58 points per game. With new head coach
Mike Dunleavy, Sr.
, the Clippers finished at 28–54, a lot due to inexperience and injuries.
2004–05 season
saw the Clippers, although also missing the playoffs, finish with a better record than the Lakers for the first time since 1993 and have great hope for the future, with young rising stars such as Brand,
Corey Maggette
Shaun Livingston
Bobby Simmons
won the 2004–05 NBA Most Improved Player award after averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. As a result of that, Simmons cashed in on his newfound fame, and signed a 5-year, $47 million deal with the
Milwaukee Bucks
in July 2005, playing closer to his hometown of Chicago.
To counter Simmons' defection to Milwaukee, the Clippers announced days later that they would sign guard
Cuttino Mobley
to a contract similar in years (5) but less in money ($42 million) to what Simmons received from the Bucks. Mobley was the first significant free agent signing from outside the organization since Bill Walton in late 1970s. Mobley officially signed his contract on August 3, 2005.
More deals were made, most notably on August 12, 2005, where the Clippers traded guards
Marko Jaric
(in a sign and trade transaction) and
Lionel Chalmers
to the
Minnesota Timberwolves
in exchange for guard
Sam Cassell
and a lottery-protected 1st round pick in the
2006 NBA Draft
. In relation to the lottery-protected pick, in order for the Clippers to acquire the pick, the Timberwolves would have to make the playoffs, or else Minnesota retains its draft pick.
During the summer of 2005, the Clippers announced that they would build a state-of-the-art practice facility (the first NBA practice facility within the four corners of the City of Los Angeles) in the
Playa Vista
Several current players on the Clippers' lineup live in the planned community. According to the Clippers' website, the new facility will open its doors for community programs in the off-season and will be surrounded by other community parks and recreation.
2005–06 season
was a turning point for the team's overall image; a hot start marked by several wins over top teams caught the attention of many fans. Before the 2005–06 season, the Clippers drafted young
Yaroslav Korolev
Elton Brand
was chosen as a reserve power forward for the
All-Star Game
and articles have been run in many sports magazines giving recognition to the much improved team. Just before the NBA trading deadline, the Clippers traded power forward
Chris Wilcox
to the
Seattle SuperSonics
for forward
Vladimir Radmanović
. The Clippers had been lacking consistent outside shooting which is what they were looking for in the trade.
While the Clippers had a few stretches of poor play this season, resulting in some frustrating losses, they nonetheless were able to maintain a solid record, including posting several winning streaks. The Clippers achieved their first winning record in 14 seasons and clinched their first playoff spot since 1997. The Clippers also finished with a better record than the Lakers for the second straight year.
By finishing sixth in the
Western Conference
, with a record of 47–35 (their best finish since the team left
), the Clippers benefitted from the current
NBA playoff format
of regular season records taking precedence over winning the division, and secured
home court advantage
over the
Denver Nuggets
instead of traveling to
for four games as a #6 seed would usually be expected to do.
On April 12, 2006 the Clippers were #5 seed and would have played against the
Dallas Mavericks
in the playoffs, but the Clippers lost 5 of their next 7 games and the
Memphis Grizzlies
clinched the #5 position instead.
On April 22, 2006, the Clippers won their first NBA playoff game in 13 years. Two days later, they won their second playoff game, going 2–0 against an opponent for the first time in franchise history. Although they won the first 2 games, they lost Game 3, but they won Game 4. On Monday, May 1, 2006 they won Game 5 in Los Angeles and their first playoff series since they moved from Buffalo.
The team faced the
Phoenix Suns
in the Western Conference semi-finals. After losing in game one (130–123 in Phoenix), the Clippers beat the Suns in an impressive 122–97 victory in Game 2. The series shifted to Staples Center for game 3, and the Suns beat the Clippers, 94–91, as Suns forward
Shawn Marion
scored 32 points and grabbed a game-high 19 rebounds. In game four, Elton Brand posted 30 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists as the Clippers evened the series on May 14, 2006 with a 114–107 victory over the Suns. In game five, Suns guard/forward
Raja Bell
made a key 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in the first overtime to send the game into a second overtime. Phoenix beat Los Angeles in this double-overtime "thriller" game, 125–118.
The double-overtime loss for the Clippers, to say the least, was devastating, but they bounced back with a convincing, series-saving 118–106 Game 6 win over the Suns. Second-year defensive specialist
Quinton Ross
had a timely offensive game, scoring a then career-high 18 points. Elton Brand had another excellent contribution, with 30 points (his scoring average in this particular series), 12 rebounds, three assists, and five blocks. Corey Maggette came off the bench to score 25 points, with 7–8 shooting from the field, and 9–9 from the free throw line. Chris Kaman and Sam Cassell each scored 15 points apiece. Marion once again led Phoenix in scoring, with 34 points, with reserve guard
Leandro Barbosa
scoring 25 points off the bench for the Suns. The Clippers lost the seventh game to Phoenix 127–107.
General Manager (and
Basketball Hall of Fame
Elgin Baylor
won the
NBA Executive of the Year
award for his leading the Clippers to the playoffs.
2006 off-season
started as the team drafted center
Paul Davis
Michigan State University
in the second round of the
2006 NBA Draft
, as the 34th overall pick.
The pick was acquired by the Clippers by way of a 2004 trade with the
Charlotte Bobcats
for center/forward
Melvin Ely
The team also drafted guard
Guillermo Diaz
from the
University of Miami
as the 52nd overall pick.
While Davis signed with the team in July, Diaz was not signed, and decided to play overseas. However, the team still holds his draft rights. The Clippers did not have a pick in the 2006 draft's first round.
Meanwhile in free agency, on July 13, 2006, the Clippers scored a major coup, by signing forward
Tim Thomas
away from divisional rival Phoenix, in a four-year, $24 million deal. That was to counter the defection of forward
Vladimir Radmanović
to the crosshall Lakers in a somewhat similar deal to what Thomas got from the Clippers, except Radmanovic signed for an extra year, but both players would make the same amount of money annually, which would be $6 million.
Also on July 13, guard Sam Cassell (widely credited as the biggest reason for the Clippers' recent success) signed a two-year, $13 million deal. Cassell stated in interviews that once he retires, which would be likely after this contract runs out, he would like to join the Clippers' coaching staff under
Mike Dunleavy, Sr.
Also, on August 1, the team signed veteran forward/center
Aaron Williams
(previously with the then-
New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets
) to an undisclosed deal. Williams played for Dunleavy with the Milwaukee Bucks in the
1994–95 season
To further their television commitment to their local fans, on August 11, the Clippers and
announced a three-year contract extension, which would increase KTLA's annual 25-game commitment to 30 games a year, plus selected playoff games not airing exclusively on
Just like during the last two seasons, KTLA will air all of its
Staples Center
-based Clippers telecasts in
high definition
Until recently, they were the only local team to currently air its over-the-air broadcasts in HDTV;
aired its first HDTV
broadcast on February 2, 2007, versus the
Indiana Pacers
Conseco Fieldhouse
in Indianapolis.
Fifteen of the 30 annual KTLA telecasts air on
in San Diego, KTLA's sister station; although KTLA is already available on cable in the San Diego market.
The increased demand for Clippers games has also led to the scheduling of twelve true nationally-televised Clippers games on TNT and ESPN. The team will also have eight additional games on NBA TV; NBA TV normally uses the home team telecast's video feed and announcers, while using its own on-screen score and graphics, therefore, their presentations are not considered true, self-produced national broadcasts, such as the case with ESPN, TNT, and ABC. This brings the total of nationally-televised games to 20, the most ever in franchise history.
On September 7, the Clippers announced a radio broadcast deal with
, the local
ESPN Radio
-operated outlet.
The team, though, did not fully perform to expectations, in comparison to the previous season. A lot of this has been attributed to lack of a team chemistry and injuries to several key players, including Cassell, Thomas, Livingston, and Kaman. Players such as
Luke Jackson
Alvin Williams
, and
Doug Christie
were signed to 10-day contracts to help solidify the team's bench. Jackson and Alvin Williams only lasted through portions of the January schedule and each had limited playing time, while Christie signed with the team on January 31. Christie was not retained, and was suspended on the final day of his second 10-day contract with the team, due to Christie's desire to not return to the team, because of the team's lack of on-court direction. Christie was released from the team on February 21.
Adding to the woes of the disappointing 2006–2007 season, guard Shaun Livingston suffered a dislocated left knee in which he tore every ligament in his knee. This was one of the most devastating injuries this season that consequently left him a player that would never be the same. This occurred with 8:10 left in the first quarter of a home game versus the
Charlotte Bobcats
on February 26, 2007 at Staples Center, as Livingston was driving to the basket, where he missed the lay-up, and came down awkwardly on his left knee.
The extent of the injury was so severe, local news outlets such as
elected not to air the clip of Livingston's injury on their sports reports.
According to the team's lead physican, Dr. Tony Daly, Livingston's prognosis for him to return to basketball activity from the point in time of his injury is eight months (which would put it at around the first week of the
upcoming season
) to a full calendar year. The Clippers, which were expected by many to make the playoffs again after their surprise appearance the season before, finished the season 40–42, 2 games behind the 8th-seeded Warriors. The Lakers finished with a better record than the Clippers for the first time since the
2003–04 NBA season
. On
May 22
, the Clippers received the fourteenth draft pick from the NBA lottery. The draft was on
June 28
in New York.
The Clippers selected
Al Thornton
a combo forward from
Florida State University
The Clippers used their second-round pick to draft a point guard
Jared Jordan
with their 45th pick.
2007–08 season
started off on a negative note, with
Elton Brand
on the disabled list because of a ruptured left Achilles tendon, and
Shaun Livingston
still out with the injury he sustained from the previous year. Brand missed most of the 2007–08 year, and the Clippers struggled to stay competitive in the Western Conference. Chris Kaman was one of the lone bright spots for the Clippers, and took advantage of a depleted roster by averaging 15.7 points and 12.7 rebounds per game throughout the season, but was limited to playing 56 games due to various injuries. The Clippers ended the season with a record of 23–59, 12th in the Western Conference and last in the Pacific Division.
The Clippers saw the departure of several players for the
2008–09 season
, including Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, and acquisitions of ten players either by draft, free agency or trades.
On July 1, 2008,
Baron Davis
, a Los Angeles native and formerly of the
Golden State Warriors
, verbally agreed to and signed (on July 10) a five-year contract with the Clippers, worth an estimated $65 million.
After a disappointing 2007–08 season, the Clippers obtained the 7th pick in the
2008 NBA Draft
, and selected
Eric Gordon
out of
Indiana University
The team also selected
DeAndre Jordan
Texas A&M University
in the second round (35th overall pick).
Another second-round pick,
Mike Taylor
from the
NBA D-League's
Idaho Stampede
Iowa State University
(55th overall pick), was acquired from the
Portland Trail Blazers
in exchange for a future second-round pick.
Gordon officially signed with the team on July 7, while Jordan and Taylor both signed on July 15.
Also on July 15, the Clippers acquired forward–center
Marcus Camby
from the Denver Nuggets in return for a $10 million trade exception and the choice to exchange second round picks with the Clippers in 2010. On July 23, the Clippers also acquired guard
Jason Hart
from the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard
Brevin Knight
. On July 28, the Clippers signed guard
Ricky Davis
to a one-year deal, with a player option for a second year . The Clippers continued their active offseason with signing reserve forward–center (and one-time Clipper)
Brian Skinner
on July 31, and traded for reserve forward
Steve Novak
on August 6 for future second-round pick considerations, in a deal similar to the Camby trade.
On August 7, the team signed guard
Jason Williams
from the
Miami Heat
to a one-year deal.
Recently, the Los Angeles Clippers re-signed forward Paul Davis. The Clippers signed three Davis' (Baron, Ricky, and Paul) in their "rebuilding offseason" in which they obtained key players such as Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Ricky Davis, and Jason Williams. However, just prior to the start of training camp, Williams announced his retirement on September 26.
On October 7, according to reports from various sources including the
Los Angeles Times
Orange County Register
, and the team's own web site (Clippers.com), Elgin Baylor ended his 22-year reign as vice president and general manager of basketball operations. It was one of the longest such tenures in professional sports history. The Clippers have indicated that Baylor had retired from his post, and as a result, head coach
Mike Dunleavy, Sr.
will also assume the role as general manager, while director of player personnel
Neil Oshley
is promoted to assistant general manager.
In many of those same reports, including a related article in the October 8 edition of the Times, it was also indicated that Baylor had either been fired, resigned, or retired, depending on the source. According to similar reports, Baylor had been offered a different position in the organization, with the same salary, but with little to none decision-making power; Baylor refused. In fact, when pressed about his stauts with the franchise, Baylor had been advised by his attorneys not to say anything, indicating that the team and Baylor are in negotiations to work out a settlement agreement based on his departure. According to the above-mentioned article, Baylor had been working without a formal contract since the early 1990s.
On November 21, the Clippers and
New York Knicks
made a trade, in which Los Angeles sends forward Tim Thomas and guard Cuttino Mobley to New York, in exchange for forward
Zach Randolph
and reserve guard
Mardy Collins
. With the trade of Mobley, only one member of their 2005–06 playoff team remains on the roster—starting center Chris Kaman. On December 11, Mobley announced his retirement due to the heart condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mobley has yet to play a game for the New York Knicks after the trade.
On January 6, the Los Angeles Clippers waived
Fred Jones
Paul Davis
to open a roster spot for Center from Senegal
Cheikh Samb
(the Clippers have since re-signed Jones).
The Clippers ended the 2008-09 season with another disappointing finish - 14th in the Western Conference - with a record of 19-63.
On May 19, 2009 the Los Angeles Clippers were awarded the first overall pick in the
2009 NBA Draft
. The Clippers had a 17.7% chance of being awarded the first pick. With the 1st selection in the draft, they selected
Blake Griffin
. To open up a spot in the starting lineup for Griffin, Los Angeles traded Zach Randolph to Memphis for Quentin Richardson on July 1. Richardson was then traded on July 20 to the Minnesota Timberwolves for
Sebastian Telfair
Craig Smith
, and
Mark Madsen
Friday, October 23, 2009 Griffin apparently broke his kneecap during the Clippers' final exhibition game against New Orleans perhaps after a dunk that left the power forward wincing in pain. Initially the Clippers' said Griffin only had a sore left knee which would make him questionable for the season opener the following Tuesday night, before revealing the break. The injury could sideline the former Oklahoma star for six weeks.

On March 1, 2006 the Clippers held the
New Orleans Hornets
to an NBA record low 16 points in the second half of play. Since the introduction of the
shot clock
, no point total for a half had been lower than 19. Coincidentally, one of three teams to have such a low point total in a half was the Clippers.
On March 23, 2007 the
Utah Jazz
(44–23 at the time) lost to the Clippers (32–36 coming into the match) 104–72 in Los Angeles. That was the largest margin of defeat by an NBA team at least 20 games over .500 to a team under .500 since the
Houston Rockets
lost to the
Orlando Magic
114–82 on March 30, 1991.
The Clippers are currently the oldest NBA team to never appear in the
NBA Finals
The Clippers are one of three teams (along with the
Memphis Grizzlies
and the
Charlotte Bobcats
) to have never won an NBA Championship, Conference Championship, or a Division Championship in their franchise's history.

Liberia: Central Bank's Employees' Travel Ban Lifted
Monrovia – A little over a week now, after the Central Bank of Liberia called on the government of Liberia to remove the names of its employees placed on travel ban, the Monrovia City Court has issued an order removing the names of CBL employees. Those removed from the travel ban included Mr. Charles Sirleaf, son of former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
Reported by Al-Varney Rogers [email protected]
The travel ban, which was placed due to the controversy surrounding the alleged missing L$16 billion, begs more questions than answered.
Legal luminaries have argued that the action of the City Court to issue a travel ban without a main action before the court was illegal.
"The travel ban is an ancillary action which should grow out of a main action but there was no case before the court to have acted on an attachment," a legal expert, who asked not to be named, told this newspaper.
Acting upon the directive and order of J. Kennedy Peabody, Stipendiary Magistrate of the Monrovia City Court, Temple of Justice, the Ne Exeat Republica of September 28, 2018, issued by this honorable Court for the purpose of preventing Hon. Charles Sirleaf, Cyrus Badio, Mounir Siaplay, and Mussah A. Kamara from leaving the bailiwick of the Republic of Liberia is by order of court revoked and lifted otherwise other by this court.
The above-named persons are therefore at liberty and free to leave the Republic of Liberia to foreign parts to attend official business of the Central Bank of Liberia.
Few days ago, the Executive Governor of the Central Bank, Nathaniel Patray, read a press statement announcing that the Bank could account for every cent of the alleged missing L$16 billion. He also asked that the names of his subordinates, who had been barred from leaving Liberia be removed from the list.
"Records from Crane Currency of Sweden, which was contacted to print the money, show that Crane delivered L$15.5 billion through the Freeport of Monrovia and the Roberts International Airport between 2016 and 2018; and that all these monies were logged by the CBL and delivered into the reserve vaults of the CBL."
Governor Patray's statement drew angry reactions from many concerned that the bank was pre-empting the investigation.
This was further bolstered a few days later when the investigative team set up by President George Weah complicated matters by stating that there was no need for international assistance to probe into the missing money.

Snowbelt Morris and Sword Dancers resurrected morris dancing in the Rochester, NY area, after ten years' hiatus, when Bethany Comegys moved to the area from Albany and found it sadly lacking. Joined by her sister, Chris Bracken, and experienced dancers Pat Donaldson and Kathy Gisser, they began dancing out on Mayday in 2003.
The following years have added Laura Waterstripe (of diverse morris teams), Tod Burchell, Sarva, Ben, and Joe Clark to the team, and hopefully it is still expanding. Due to the (so-far) low number of members, we have made a habit of modifying traditional dances for smaller numbers, and writing brand new dances in traditional styles.
We added rapper in the fall of 2005. We were lucky enough to gain two musicians in 2006, with Laura and Bethany occasionally still playing backup.
We practice on Mondays from 7:30-9:30pm at the Pittsford Recreation Center in the winter, and when the weather improves, we practice at the gazebo by the canal in Fairport.
Mayday is held at the Cobbs Hill Park Reservoir in the temple building at 6am.

Suarez sits out Uruguay duties for birth of third child
Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has been left out of the Uruguay squad as his wife is expecting their third child.
Suarez announced they would be having another child shortly after his side reached the last 16 of the World Cup in June.
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) confirmed on Friday that the 31-year-old has not been called up for the friendly matches against South Korea and Japan on October 12 and 16 respectively.
However, Suarez could be available to coach Oscar Tabarez if his wife gives birth early.

Barry Bedwell was one of about 200 caravan park residents who were ordered to leave their homes after a developer bought the land they were living on.
A Current Affair reported on the distress of those residents last year - but Mr Bedwell wasn't ready to go quietly.
The 81-year-old decided to take on the developer in a last-ditch attempt to save his home in Melbourne's Wantirna Caravan Park.
Property developer Longriver purchased the land in a bid to build a multi-million dollar townhouse development.
"I wasn't home when the letter (of eviction) was delivered, so they put it in my letter box, then they sent it to me by computer so I got in touch with Legal Aid and said, is all this legal?" he said.
"They said it's not, and said we'll take it to court."
That assessment was proved correct, after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ruled in favour of Mr Bedwell.
The former mechanic took his turn on the stand, telling A Current Affair he had been "a little" nervous.
Lawyer Joel Townsend from Victoria Legal Aid was by Barry's side.
"What's clear is the park can't be shut down for at least another year, until a proper notice to vacate has been served on Barry and has expired," he said.
Legal Aid are arguing that Mr Bedwell should be entitled to all the facilities which a caravan should provide, including serviceable roads and accessible pools.
The developer also has the option of making a deal with Mr Bedwell to move out.
The former mechanic's fight has now inspired another resident, Dave Filliponi, to attempt the same.
Mr Thompson said unlike in New South Wales, there was no law in Victoria forcing the developer who purchased the land to compensate the people who lost their homes.
However, many of the Wantirna residents and former residents are hopeful their circumstances will prompt the state government to change the legislation.

- Moi has been been given a one month notice by the Baringo county assembly to vacate his office
- The senator's office will now be occupied by the county assembly speaker David Kiplagat
- Assembly Clerk Joseph Koech said the decision to kick out Moi was necessitated by shortage of office space

In a letter dated May 29, whose copy TUKO.co.ke is in possession of, the Baringo County Assembly Clerk Joseph Koech instructed Moi to exit so as to give space to the Speaker David Kiplagat to occupy.

Koech in his capacity as the secretary general to the Assembly Service Board clarified the decision was necessitated by shortage of office space for Kiplagat.
"The speaker therefore has to be accommodated and hence the reason for this notice. We look forward to your co-operation," he said in the letter.
The county was also keen to put up a new Speaker's parlour once the current one is demolished.

In March, area Jubilee-leaning MCAs clashed over the proposal to eject Moi from the county office.
They argued the office was dormant and was being occupied illegally.
Even though senators are housed in Nairobi, the government allocates cash to allow the leaders rent their independent liaison offices in respective counties.

When i attend the pre-graduation night just know, i saw most people wear Batik, including me. Friday is a special day in Jogja, because the governor has suggested that people should wear Batik on Friday when they go to work. Why? Because it's one of the historical culture of Indonesian and not many people realizes that Batik is very nice.
I'm glad that most people are starting to use Batik on Friday and even though we aren't told specifically to use Batik, all of the lecturers, MC, and the singers are using Batik. It's like a Batik show tonight

I have a probleme of the setting of my calendar now. I want to make first row which is the time in AgendaWeek view and AgendaDay view a little wider, but i can't find the corresponding css code in fullcalendar.css. Can someone help me?
By inspecting the source of a calendar of mine I can see the following code for each time displayed in the left-hand column:

The width appears to be set inline. Presumably this is done via some code in fullCalendar.
You can override it in CSS, but you also need to shift all the other
s in the column as well, not of all which have the same combination of classes.
Fortunately, they do all have the same root class -
.fc-axis. Therefore, if you add this to the end of your CSS, it should adjust the width for you quite happily.
.fc-axis { width: 100px !important;}
Having said that, beware of fixed widths and how fullCalendar will react if you resize it, or resize the browser window, depending whether you've given your calendar a fixed width/height, or messed with the aspectRatio settings.

The potential of microalgae as a raw material is so huge, that in order to fully embrace its capabilities, one would need to bring together all the specialized actors involved in the numerous strategic areas onto one communal scenario.
AlgaEnergy, convinced that such initiative was needed, has promoted the CENIT VIDA project (integral algae valorisation) which, led by its shareholder IBERDROLA¸ was approved by the Spanish Government at its 6th meeting. (September 2010). The program is set to run for 4 years and has been assigned a budget of 19 million Euros.
CENIT VIDA combines the effort of 14 outstanding multinationals and specialized companies, scientific authorities and up to 24 public Spanish research entities, which have joined forces and explore, as a multidiscipline group, the potential uses of microalgae in different sectors.
We invite you to learn more about this macro-program by visiting its website, by which Spain has made the most decisive European bid for the development of the microalgae potential, mainly, although not exclusively, in the nutritional, the agricultural, the environmental and the energetic sectors.
