Ugly yellow sleeves suit this blue-collar team

You will notice a different vocabulary in this column. Like "apparel" and "fabric" and "style."
I don't usually write about clothes. I generally write about layups, home runs and performance-enhancing drugs. You'll also notice "symbolism," that dreaded word from Freshman English.
So, bear with me, because I'm writing about the Warriors' T-shirts, the shocking yellow ones they wore Friday night when they beat the San Antonio Spurs, the best team in the NBA, 107-101 in overtime. It was a statement game for the Warriors after they had lost six of their previous seven and seemed headed down the drain. It was also a fashion statement.
The Warriors players wore shirts made of light fabric and with short sleeves, as opposed to the tank tops everyone else wears in the NBA. The Warriors will wear the short-sleeve T-shirts their two remaining Friday night home games.
I am not saying the T-shirts made the Warriors win. I am not saying the T-shirts are good luck. I am not even saying the T-shirts have a special style. Well, actually, I am.
They have no style. They are pug ugly. They look like summer pajamas.
But the sheer ugliness, the geekiness, the total nerdiness of the T-shirts is a good thing. It says something fundamental about who the Warriors are, a team that puts winning before glamour.
The T-shirts have no style because they are athletic shirts, not designer apparel. They are anti the total hipness of the NBA. They remind you of when you were a kid. You put on shorts, your Keds — or your Chuck Taylor Converse — and ran over to the schoolyard and played hoops for the love of it. And you didn't care how you looked.
The T-shirts remind you how it felt on a sunny Saturday morning when you played half court on asphalt and the hoop had no net, and the next group waited to play the winners and you played for ownership of the court so you wouldn't have to sit and wait. And you wore a T-shirt and maybe the T-shirt didn't have a logo. It was eye-fracturing white and it was Fruit of the Loom or Hanes or some cheapo brand your mom got at the Dollar Store. And you played.
Everything about ball and your clothes was basic because it wasn't about styling, it was about the game. T-shirts came before famous players got called only by their first names and before Show Time and monster slam dunks. Admittedly, some of the Warriors looked embarrassed to be wearing those goofy shirts, like they took a sartorial step down — and they did. But that's OK. In fact, it's the whole point.
A year and a half ago, when Adidas pitched the clunky T-shirts to the Warriors, they stressed kids can't wear a tank top to school. They would need a T-shirt underneath it. But they can wear the Warriors T-shirt anywhere except, say, the Black and White Ball. A shame. And one other thing — Chris Mullin wore a T-shirt the whole time he played at St. John's. Mullin always was cool in his uncoolness.
Saturday morning, Warriors coach Mark Jackson said, "I'm a guy that practices in shirts with sleeves."
Bless his heart.
When he grew up in Brooklyn and then Queens, he never wore a tank top when he played basketball. "I would be wearing a T-shirt," he said. "If I say, 'Let's go work out in the gym,' you're going to get a shirt with sleeves. We're going to go play and have some fun. How many guys do you see in a rec center with sleeveless shirts?"
When he was too young to play with the big kids, he'd go to Foster Park in Brooklyn and watch Bernard King and Albert King and World B. Free.
Did they wear T-shirts?
"Absolutely," he said. "There were some crazy guys with no shirts on."
Now we come to the symbolism part. The T-shirts are about fitting in, downplaying your ego, being a team. They are about playing ball because you love it, not because it makes you famous or trendy. They represent the spirit of what the Warriors need to be.
The Warriors have lost Andrew Bogut to injury yet again. They have no superstar — although Stephen Curry is close. Each player has a role and the Warriors win with grit and sweat, and they never give up, certainly didn't give up against the Spurs. They are a team.
They need to play up or down to their uniforms, depending on what you think of the uniforms. But the Warriors face a tough schedule with no guarantee Bogut will contribute, and they need to keep winning. While the uniforms express the perfect team philosophy, symbolism will take you only so far.

In a speech following her election victory, she said she intended to "open up a new era for the Korean peninsula with strong security and credible diplomacy."
The two countries are technically still at war, since no peace accord was reached after the all-out armed conflict they fought in the 1950s.
The leader of North Korea at the time of the Korea War was Kim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong Un. In making Tuesday's televised New Year's address, the younger Kim appears to have rekindled one of his grandfather's traditions.
The last time a North Korean leader made such a speech was in 1994 -- Kim Il Sung's last New Year's address before his death.
During Kim Jong Il's rule between 1994 and last year, the spoken address on January 1 was replaced by an editorial published by state-run newspapers.
The editorial was mandatory study for all citizens, recollecting the achievements of the past year and laying out the tasks for the year ahead, themes apparent in Kim Jong Un's speech Tuesday.

The biggest drawbacks of the existing OS recovery options are (1) you lose your installed programs, and (2) the process of reinstalling the OS and programs, which -- depending on the kind of user involved -- can prove to be a process which is overwhelming, tedious, intimidating, and/or frightening. The ideal method would be to enable a reset/refresh/reinstall/whatchamacallit that allows the user both to keep their data and all settings, and to choose which of their applications to keep intact, with the proviso that the more programs you keep installed, the less good that the "refresh" will do.
Don't know if this is technically feasible, but it would be my ideal. It might be called "Windows In-Place Easy Transfer."
Another possible (and not necessarily too complicated) idea would be to automatically pop up an option, right before or right after the installation of a program, to image the HDD as it is at that moment, with sufficiently detailed instructions for the less technically inclined. (Restore points often don't successfully "take" when applied IMX.)

Biden called it a complicated issue, emphasizing that there is "no singular solution to how we deal with" mass shootings.
Many stakeholders in the issue have met with members of the task force, Biden said, including medical and religious groups, educators and parents.
Concerns about mental health may be "one of the most important things that we've been focusing on," he said.
Biden also noted that many firearm deaths in the United States are suicides.
Referring to one of the most contentious issues -- whether to reinstate an assault weapons ban -- Biden said he has never heard so much support for "the need to do something about high-capacity magazines."
The task force also was meeting with members of the entertainment industry to discuss violence in movies and TV shows.
Obama has spoken out about a culture that often "glorifies guns and violence."
Dan Glickman, a former congressman and onetime head of the Motion Picture Association of America, rejects suggestions of links between films and real-life violence.
"I don't think the abundance of movies that are put out by the entertainment industry are that violent or cause violence," he told CNN on Thursday.
Also, Glickman said, "Hollywood does a pretty good job of letting parents know through its ratings system what kind of movie is coming out -- whether there's violence or sexual conduct or other kinds of things."

Mitt Romney officially announced U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin -- considered a rising Republican star and the party's leader on fiscal and budgetary issues -- as his running mate in the presidential race.
Ryan, appearing at the beginning of a four-day, four-state bus tour in Norfolk, moved quickly to position himself and Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, as champions of voters dissatisfied with the economy.
"I represent a part of America that includes inner cities, rural areas, suburbs and factory towns," he said in remarks prepared for delivery Saturday morning. "Over the years I have seen and heard from a lot from families, from a lot of those running small businesses, and from people who are in need. But what I have heard lately, that's what troubles me the most. There is something different in their voice and in their words. What I hear from them are diminished dreams, lowered expectations, uncertain futures.
"I hear some people say that this is just 'the new normal.' Higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing debt is not a new normal. It's the result of misguided policies. And next January, our economy will begin a comeback with the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will lead to more jobs and more take home pay for working Americans."
GOP sources told CNN on Friday that Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio had all been told that they were not getting the nod.
Romney called several of the candidates on his vice presidential shortlist on Friday evening to tell them he had selected a running mate and to thank them for assisting with his campaign, a Republican familiar with the calls told CNN. Romney did not indicate on the calls whom he had selected, the source said.
In a statement, Portman called Ryan "a great choice." He added, "I look forward to working closely with a Romney-Ryan Administration to restore fiscal sanity and enact pro-growth policies to create jobs."
Three Republicans close to the campaign told CNN that key staffers were told to prepare for the rollout on Saturday morning, when Romney tours the U.S.S. Wisconsin, a museum battleship at the National Maritime Center in Norfolk.
Communications staffers for the Romney campaign were ordered to report to their Boston headquarters at 8 a.m. Saturday, an unusual directive for a weekend, a Republican familiar with the plans told CNN.
There were other signals that Romney was ramping up for a splashy weekend: Much of the Romney high command flew Friday afternoon with the candidate from Boston to Norfolk, including Beth Myers, the adviser tasked with running the vice presidential search process, and Will Ritter, the campaign's director of advance who rarely leaves his spacious corner office in Boston's North End.

Comment posted Major environmental groups seriously compromised by wind developers' cash by Robert Wakeham.
It's definitely a brainwashing conspiracy Malcolm – when are you going to march on Edinburgh?
Robert Wakeham also commented
- On the subject of cars, I find it very strange that we live in a society that sets increasingly ambitious targets for moving to renewable energy – and for increasing thermal insulation of buildings – but exercises no control over the purchase of 'gas guzzlers' other than what appear to be rather ineffective tax penalties.
The price of fuel is irrelevant – if you've got the money there's no limit on how profligate you are on the road. - '..I think the days of rich men dictating what can and cannot be done in Scotland are now past' – so did I, and was surprised at the way in which an obvious 'fat cat' was given a platform in the Holyrood parliament to promote his personal cause. How many of the rest of us would be granted that privilege?
- Whatever else he is, Trump isn't daft enough to deny the obvious, but does that make him a hero in your eyes, Malcolm?
- On the subject of intermittent tidal power, I'm surprised that the Sound of Islay scheme seems to be going ahead but as yet there's no talk (as far as I know) of complementary tidal schemes to even out the electricity produced, nearer than Kyle Rhea . The Corran Narrows, Connel and Otter Ferry all spring to mind as having potential.
- Scotland needs to get cracking with developing efficient, viable, energy storage systems – and reviewing the profit margins on government subsidised windfarms, to discourage 'the get rich quick brigade'.
Recent comments by Robert Wakeham
- McGrigor supports small scale hydro schemes but is concerned about lack of grid connectivity
If not 'bitter', then how about 'negative', 'petty', or just plain miserable?
Effective ways of providing energy for this country is an increasingly fraught subject, with government commitment to 'green' power leading to the perception that our politicians are swimming with sharks, and a proliferation of wind farms that are good for some sectors of the local economy but which are a major cause of price inflation.
And the Kintyre / Arran power emergency this spring served to highlight the fact that large scale wind generated electricity can be likened to a rough single malt – no use unless it's blended with other spirit to make it palatable.
I live in hope that SSE's Sound of Islay tidestream power project will prove more user-friendly – as are the hydro power plants described by Jamie McGrigor, as far as I can gather.
Here in mid Argyll we're being shown the next windfarm proposal – 25 turbines for Electricite de France above Brenfield, which would form a backdrop to Ardrishaig, and would be so close to the recently unveiled proposals by E.ON for up to 24 turbines above Inverneill as to be semi-detached.
That's up to 49MW plus up to 90MW, that would all presumably have to be 'blended' with power from elsewhere to make it digestible, and if anyone thought that 'fast breeder' only referred to a type of nuclear reactor, just look at the emerging cluster of wind farms south of Ardrishaig. - Argyll Flyer spotted going into Ardmaleish yard on Bute this afternoon
Doesn't the SPTE have a remit to co-ordinate public transport provision here? – maybe I'm imagining it, or maybe they're just pretending, or maybe they're only really interested in Strathclyde bus services and the Glasgow subway (on the basis that only a tiny proportion of voters use the Gourock ferries, and politics is all) - 31 hour shout Tobermory Lifeboat's longest ever, ending in joint operation with Oban lifeboat
The Oban Times reported on 6th June on the MAIB report on a similar incident last July when a small container ship rammed the Isle of Bute, and apparently legal action is ongoing. - Refloated cargo ship MV Fri Ocean escorted to Lynn of Lorne – and on into Oban
Not being a mariner, I wonder why – in this day and age of almost universal use of radar (and GPS?) for navigation – ships don't seem to be equipped with a proximity alarm, a bloody great klaxon fit to waken the dead, that is triggered if the boat closes with an identifiable hazard.
It would have to be capable of deactivation in harbour areas and, eg, places like the Corran Narrows – but would surely be invaluable, especially at night.
Maybe it would be seen as a dangerous threat to the need for proper watch keeping. - Auchindrain in crisis: facing paying off its two permanent staff
Considering how all the wind farm developers are so keen (and can clearly afford) to provide substantial funding to help local community ventures, this is surely a prime example of an exceptionally good local cause with national significance.

Paradigm has remained in the loudspeaker performance/value forefront for decades, a position that's not going to change with the Monitor Series 7. Most people wouldn't consider a $3,400 speaker system "cheap" by any definition, but we're not most people, and the Paradigm system reviewed here is ridiculously good for that figure. It delivers natural tonal balance, serious bass extension, impressively clean dynamic range and transient punch, and tight, stable imaging in generous, well-balanced measure, with cosmetics and fit'n'finish that will satisfy most and should offend none. Unhesitatingly recommended.
Frequency response
• tower: 47 Hz to 20 kHz ±4.6 dB
• center: 62 Hz to 20 kHz ±4.8 dB
• surround: 81 Hz to16.3 kHz ±4.8 dB
• subwoofer: 32 to 168 Hz ±3 dB
Sensitivity (SPL at 1 meter/1 watt)
• tower: 87.7 dB
• center: 88.3 dB
• surround: 87.0 dB
Impedance (minimum/nominal)
• tower: 3.3/6 ohms
• center: 3.1/6 ohms
• surround: 3.8/7 ohms
Bass output, tower (CEA-2010 standard)
• Ultra-low bass (20-31.5 Hz) average: 87.4 dB
20 Hz: 77.1 dB
25 Hz: 86.0 dB
31.5 Hz: 99.2 dB
• Low bass (40-63 Hz) average: 115.0 dB
40 Hz: 115.0 dB
50 Hz: 115.9 dB
63 Hz: 114.3 dB
Bass output, subwoofer (CEA-2010 standard)
• Ultra-low bass (20-31.5 Hz) average: 97.6 dB
20 Hz: 91.8 dB
25 Hz: 96.6 dB
31.5 Hz: 104.5 dB
• Low bass (40-63 Hz) average: 118.9 dB
40 Hz: 117.2 dB (L)
50 Hz: 119.6 dB (L)
63 Hz: 120.0 dB (L)
Bass limits
• center: 94.4 dB at 40 Hz
• surround: 83.9 dB at 40 Hz
For frequency response above 240 Hz, I measured the Monitor 9 tower, Center 3, and Surround 3 quasi-anechoically using a Clio FW analyzer in MLS mode. Measurements below 240 Hz were made with the Clio FW in log chirp mode; the mike was place d near the woofers and ports, then the results were scaled and summed to get the total bass response. I spliced the close-miked and quasi-anechoic measurements at 240 Hz.
The differing configurations of the speakers required different measuring techniques. For the tower, I placed it directly on top of my measurement turntable and used 2 feet of attic insulation to absorb reflected sound from the ground. I placed the center speaker atop a 2-meter stand and placed the microphone at a distance of 2 meter s, enough to incorporate the contributions of all the drivers plus diffraction off the cabinet edges. I attached the surround speaker to an ersatz "wall" made from a 2x4-foot piece of plywood, with foam on the edges to prevent diffraction, then attached the "wall" to my measurement turntable. For the tower and center, the curve shown here represents the average of responses at 0°, ±10°, ±20°, and ±30°; the surround measurement shows an average of responses at 0°, ±15°, ±30°, ±45°, and ±60°. All results are smoothed to 1/12th octave. Tower and center speakers were measured without grilles, then measurements with grilles on were made for comparison. The surround speaker was measured with the grille on, which is the way it will probably always be used.
The frequency-response measurements of the Monitor 9 tower look fairly smooth, but there's a slightly rising treble balance that peaks at what appears to be a tweeter resonance at 14.4 kHz. Off-axis response is excellent; the treble rolls off gradually even out at 60° off-axis, and other than that, there's no real difference in on-axis vs. off-axis response. The grille adds a few mild response variants in the range of ±2 dB from 2 kHz to 20 kHz.
The Center 3 center speaker's response is similar, with a nearly identical peak in the treble at 14.6 kHz. Its off-axis response is excellent for a center speaker. With most center speakers, you get a huge 15- to 25-dB dip at 30° or 45° off-axis, which results from interference between the woofers. But the Center 3's three-way design practically eliminates that. You get little dips of 8 dB at 2.1 kHz and 6.5 dB at 2.7 kHz, at 30° or 45° off-axis, respectively. As with the tower, the grille creates a few minor response differences of ±2 dB, in this case from 1 kHz to 20 kHz.
Most dipolar or bipolar surround speakers show a lot of treble rolloff in the averaged frequency response, but not the Surround 3. Its treble response is excellent, and it measures just about as flat as the tower and center speakers. This should yield exceptionally lively surround sound effects.
Impedance of the tower speaker hits a low of 3.3 ohms at 10 kHz with a phase angle of -18°. For the center speaker, the low is 3.1 ohms at 160 Hz also with a phase angle of -18°. The surround impedance minimum is 3.8 ohms at 280 Hz with a phase angle of -2°. Although the impedance for the tower and center is a little on the low side, the good sensitivity measurements (average of quasi-anechoic measurement from 300 Hz to 10 kHz at 1 meter, at 0° for the tower and center and 45° for the surround) for all models mean you should be able to drive these speakers with practically any A/V receiver on the market.
The DSP-3200 v.2 subwoofer presented frequency-response measurement challenges because Daniel Kumin had already used the PBK EQ system for his review. Thus, the subwoofer was tuned for his room, not for the outdoor space where I do my measurements. My solution was to do a ground-plane measurement from 2 meters, placing the PBK mike at the same spot as my measurement mike and running the PBK EQ routine to optimize the response for that spot, then doing the measurement using Clio's log chirp mode. It worked perfectly, delivering a textbook flat response. Low-pass function of the crossover when set for 80 Hz was -23 dB/octave.
CEA-2010 output measurements for the tower speaker and subwoofer were taken at 2 meters and then scaled up 6 dB per CEA-2010 requirements; an L appears next to those measurements in which maximum output was dictated by the unit's internal limiter. The subwoofer's output is typical for its size and configuration, with lots of power in the low-bass octave (40-63 Hz) but a lot less output (-21.3 dB, on average) in the ultra-low bass octave (20-31.5 Hz). The surprise is the Monitor 9, which approaches the sub's output in the low-bass octave and has measurable response (although not much) all the way down to 20 Hz. Pretty impressive for a speaker with 5.5-inch woofers. — Brent Butterworth
"Pulling them out 4 feet or more from the wall...". Oh, come now (or in current vernacular, "really?"). At least this section allows me to vent about the ridiculous notion of putting a speaker four feet into a room. Several other S&V reviews over the years recommended a three-foot remove from the wall, which was enough to make this reader stop subscribing and lower the worth of the review. And I've owned Paradigm Reference speakers since the 90s. A generous 18 inches from the wall, and rear-ported too.
Even if you've got a McMansion in Mooresville, NC why would you surrender 35-50 square feet of pricey floor space and a whole lot more visual turf to this? If you're not sitting in the sweet spot there's a good chance that 55-incher will be obscured unless it comes out the same distance too, and then your guests will suspect you've sublet the space behind because your mortgage is underwater.
If you're in a non-monster house, let alone a typical condo, or if you have a spouse who is anyone other than a guy who can chat for hours about the sound of cables, such speaker placement isn't even up for discussion. Think of the mass of your readers before advising nonsense.

Cellar/Tasting Notes This is the most famous appellation of the southern Rhone and also one of the best-known in France and abroad. Its rise to fame goes back to the presence of the papal seat in Avignon from 1309 to 1376. It was Pope John XXII who developed the chateau, which is today in ruins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Francois Villard is a true master of Condrieu. If you enjoy a rich and complex white, dont miss this one. Shows ripe, almost gutsy notes of marmalade and apricot, but stays fresh and racy, with peach pit, bitter almond and star fruit notes coursing through the long, mouthwatering finish.

Politicians, academicians, former bureaucrats, social workers, traders and journalists from both sides of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir besides eminent personalities from India and Pakistan met at the conference to discuss issues of common concern.
Prominent personalities from Pakistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan who were invited included Sherry Rehman, Member of Pakistan Parliament, Justice Majeed Malik, former Chief Justice Azad Jammu and Kashmir High Court, Dr Humayun Khan, former Pakistan Foreign Secretary, Aziz Ahmad Khan, former Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Nasim Zehra, Security Analyst & Journalist, Dr. Toqueer Gilani, Senior Leader and member JKLF and Hafeezur Rahman, President PML-N Gilgit-Baltistan.
CDR, a non-governmental initiative based in New Delhi, is actively involved in civil society dialogue in Jammu and Kashmir and has held meetings and conferences for a decade between civil society and members of the political parties. CDR dialogue initiatives have provided a platform for people across the LoC to meet within J&K and have meaningful discussions. This Dialogue Conference is a part of Intra-Kashmir (Cross-LoC) dialogue series launched in 2005.
Earlier dialogues organised by CDR have generated suggestions and recommendations like opening the Poonch-Rawalakot route to travel and trade, that the two governments took up and made into a reality. In 2008, CDR facilitated the visit of first trade delegation from AJK before actual trade across the LoC began.
The aim of these dialogues is to create a conducive atmosphere where participants can express their ideas and opinions in a free and frank atmosphere and dialogue over issues of common concern with the aim of finding a solution.
This conference provided an opportunity to assess the performance of the Cross-LoC trade and Cross-LoC Bus Service, discuss steps that could be taken to enhance people-to-people contact and explore measures that can improve the political climate on both sides of LoC. The delegates discussed other equally important issues like autonomy and self rule and resolutions proposed by certain political parties in Kashmir.
