Opiate withdrawal refers to the wide range of symptoms that occur after stopping or dramatically reducing opiate drugs after heavy and prolonged use (several weeks or more).
Opiate drugs include heroin, morphine, codeine, Oxycontin, Dilaudid, methadone, and others.
About 9% of the population is believed to misuse opiates over the course of their lifetime, including illegal drugs like heroin and prescription pain medications such as Oxycontin.
These drugs can cause physical dependence. This means that a person relies on the drug to prevent symptoms of withdrawal. Over time, greater amounts of the drug become necessary to produce the same effect.
The time it takes to become physically dependent varies with each individual.
When the person stops taking the drugs, the body needs time to recover, and withdrawal symptoms result. Withdrawal from opiates can occur whenever any chronic use is discontinued or reduced.
Some people even withdraw from opiates after being given such drugs for pain while in the hospital without realizing what is happening to them. They think they have the flu, and because they don't know that opiates would fix the problem, they don't crave the drugs.
Early symptoms of withdrawal include:
Late symptoms of withdrawal include:
Opioid withdrawal reactions are very uncomfortable but are not life threatening. Symptoms usually start within 12 hours of last heroin usage and within 30 hours of last methadone exposure.
Your doctor can often diagnose opiate withdrawal after performing a physical exam and asking questions about your medical history and drug use.
Urine or blood tests to screen for drugs can confirm opiate use.
Treatment involves supportive care and medications. The most commonly used medication, clonidine, primarily reduces anxiety, agitation, muscle aches, sweating, runny nose, and cramping.
Other medications can treat vomiting and diarrhea.
Buprenorphine (Subutex) has been shown to work better than other medications for treating withdrawal from opiates, and it can shorten the length of detox. It may also be used for long-term maintenance like methadone.
People withdrawing from methadone may be placed on long-term maintenance. This involves slowly decreasing the dosage of methadone over time. This helps reduce the intensity of withdrawal symptoms.
Some drug treatment programs have widely advertised treatments for opiate withdrawal called detox under anesthesia or rapid opiate detox. Such programs involve placing you under anesthesia and injecting large doses of opiate-blocking drugs, with hopes that this will speed up the return the body to normal opioid system function.
There is no evidence that these programs actually reduce the time spent in withdrawal. In some cases, they may reduce the intensity of symptoms. However, there have been several deaths associated with the procedures, particularly when it is done outside a hospital.
Because opiate withdrawal produces vomiting, and vomiting during anesthesia significantly increases death risk, many specialists think the risks of this procedure significantly outweigh the potential (and unproven) benefits.
Support groups, such as Narcotics Anonymous and SMART Recovery, can be enormously helpful to people addicted to opiates.
Withdrawal from opiates is painful, but usually not life threatening.
Complications include vomiting and breathing in stomach contents into the lungs. This is called aspiration, and can cause lung infection. Vomiting and diarrhea can cause dehydration and body chemical and mineral (electrolyte) disturbances.
The biggest complication is return to drug use. Most opiate overdose deaths occur in people who have just withdrawn or detoxed. Because withdrawal reduces your tolerance to the drug, those who have just gone through withdrawal can overdose on a much smaller dose than they used to take.
Longer-term treatment is recommended for most people following withdrawal. This can include self-help groups, like Narcotics Anonymous or SMART Recovery, outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient treatment (day hospitalization), or inpatient treatment.
Those withdrawing from opiates should be checked for depression and other mental illnesses. Appropriate treatment of such disorders can reduce the risk of relapse. Antidepressant medications should NOT be withheld under the assumption that the depression is only related to withdrawal, and not a pre-existing condition.
Treatment goals should be discussed with the patient and recommendations for care made accordingly. If a person continues to withdraw repeatedly, methadone maintenance is strongly recommended.
Call your doctor if you are using or withdrawing from opiates.

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
I don't know about you, but I never grew out of my love for peanut butter and jelly. Conveniently, Zack never grew out of it either so peanut butter and jelly is often a staple around here. Of course the sandwich now is not the same as when we were kids. Now we use all natural peanut butter and organic fruit spreads on double fiber bread. When I was a kid it was JIF creamy peanut butter (which is the peanut butter I bake with still) and Smucker's Grape Jam on white bread. Every now and then for an extra special sandwich when I was little my mom would sprinkle a few chocolate chips in between the layers. If you have not tried this you definitely should because it really takes peanut butter and jelly to the next level, and that is what I tried to do with these bars. Martha's recipe would have been great on its own, but I wanted to recreate that childhood favorite of mine. I used JIF creamy peanutbutter, Smucker's Grape Jam, and instead of sprinkling the top with peanuts, I used mini-chocolate chips. If you are a peanut butter and jelly lover than you will love these.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
adapted from Martha Stewart Cookies
Makes about 3 dozen
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grape jam, or other flavor
1 1/2 cups miniature chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with butter and coat inside of pan with flour; set aside. Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add eggs and peanut butter; beat until combined, about 2 minutes.
Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool; cut into about thirty-six 1 1/2-by-2-inch pieces.

The trips were 142 miles, due east. From Kalamazoo to Tiger Stadium. The kid on board with his dad.
It was the same for all of us growing up in America. A wondrous day at the ballpark. We all had our dreams, our fantasies.
But for this kid it became different. He carried his own ambitions to the old ballpark in downtown Detroit — and they came true.
"I had a lot of good memories of this place when I was growing up," the kid said once in a Detroit News article commemorating the last game in Tiger Stadium in 1999.
We all know that kid.
His name is Derek Jeter.
Derek Jeter is 40 years old now. And he is playing his final season in the major leagues. His name is listed among the immortals from all the 138 seasons of Major League Baseball.
A few weeks ago, Jeter achieved another milestone with the Yankees. He surpassed Honus Wagner, then Cap Anson for sixth place on baseball's cherished all-time hits list.
The five names above his are Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial and Tris Speaker, in order. All are immortals. All but the barred Rose were no-brainer lopsided selections to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Ohio.
As was Honus Wagner.
A chance meeting
Honus Wagner's reputation as the greatest shortstop in the history of Major League Baseball was established some 110 years ago. Yarns about Wagner carried along through the generations. How well he hit — 3,420 hits dating to the 19th century, a career batting average of .329 playing shortstop, mostly for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Eight National League batting championships. Defeating Cobb and the Tigers in the 1909 World Series.
And the stories continued about how smoothly Wagner played in the field, with ham-sized hands and a pancake-flat leather glove; tales about his range left and right, on bowed legs.
The stories were passed on to me by my father and my uncles, who took me to my early ballgames.
I see Derek Jeter now — I write about him now — and part of my imagination fixes onto Honus Wagner.
One of those images flashed back Saturday morning.
I was eight. An uncle took me to my first ballgame — at New York's Polo Grounds, the New York Giants versus the Pirates. It was 78 years ago, 1936. At the Polo Grounds spectators were required to exit the stands and walk across the outfield to the street. We were clogged with the players and the coaches, trekking with the people, en route to their clubhouses in center field.
"There's Hans Wagner," said my uncle.
I looked up, right next to me, and there was this craggy, ancient gentleman, walking toward the clubhouse — wobbling, actually – on his bowed legs toward the Pirates' clubhouse. He was in a Pittsburgh uniform, a coach.
His face was full of wrinkles. I thought he looked a little like Santa Claus.
Of course, he was 62.
He looked down. His face glowed.
And Honus Wagner smiled at me.
It is my only clear memory of my first ballgame.
Beyond the numbers
With all the laurels, with all the tributes, with all the recollections, with the five World Series championships in his collection, with all the popularity, national adoration and marketing, Derek Jeter has been the face of Major League Baseball these past 20 years. Through the end of the 20th century and the first 14 years of the 21st. Through the millennial celebrations.
He has gathered more hits than Wagner; more hits than Babe Ruth, more hits than Lou Gehrig; more hits than Mickey Mantle. More than any of the Yankees before him.
This week, Derek Jeter plays his final games in his home state — Michigan.
He has earned cheers and applause at Comerica Park.
Jeter was not born in Michigan — he is a New Jersey native — but he lived in Kalamazoo from age four until he went off to the Yankees. He spent his boyhood summer vacations with his grandparents in New Jersey, rooting for the Yankees. Then he returned home to Michigan. He played baseball and basketball for Kalamazoo Central, earning all-state recognition; he spent a term at the University of Michigan. He still wears Michigan regalia, Wolverines T-shirts and the like.
For some reason, incomprehensible, he has been booed by some through the years at Comerica Park. Loud, vocal.
And for some curious reason the Sabremetricians do not regard Jeter as much among all shortstops. They dip from the clouds with their nebulous WAR statistic, that vague Wins Above Replacement melody for their ideas of an athlete's worth.
To add to the blur there are two Internet versions of WAR — Baseball Reference's concept disputed by FanGraphs' melting-pot listings. FanGraphs has Jeter at No. 3 with a WAR of 73.8, according to my Google search. Baseball Reference lists Derek as No. 7 at 67.6, one point ahead of the shortstop he used to watch when he traveled from Kalamazoo to Tiger Stadium.
Alan Trammell!
Jeter and Trammell, getting a bit of recognition, two old-fashioned ballplayers in a modern era. Wonders Are Recognized — my version of WAR and Sabremetrics.
A bit, not a lot. The Sabremetrics guys really do see Jeter as overrated. And Jeter obviously agrees their form of statistics is overrated, according to a recent piece in the New York Post. No sacrifice bunts included; value attached to attempting to advance a runner with a grounder. All of which Jeter called the "winning approach."
"It's been lost since they started coming up with all these formulas," Jeter said in the article in the Post.
Both Baseball Reference and FanGraphs rank Wagner far ahead among the all-time shortstops although he played 100 years before the Sabremetrics era. Cal Ripken ranked second among all the shortstops back into ancient baseball times in both WAR tabulations.
I guess an ironman streak gets factored into WAR, even if winning five World Series doesn't.
I was briefly inclined to get carried away and declare that Jeter is the greatest shortstop in baseball history now that he has vaulted above Wagner.
But Halt. Bowlegged Honus Wagner is forever No. 1.
Jeter might be No. 2, though.

These watches from Tokyo Street take three novel approaches to telling time: one draws a target, the other makes a graph, and the last displays ants. Glowing, inscrutable little ants.
The Ever-Increasing watch slowly draws a graph of the time which, though it displays what some might call a rather predictable function, gets the point across just fine. The SCOPE II is more direct: a small targeting reticle locks onto the current time, which is arranged among a bunch of incorrect ones. Then there's the ANT.
It's not clear what each of the the ANT watch's ants symbolize, but if you take for granted that they probably correlate somehow to the current time, then you can accept that it's at least a useful icebreaker. The SCOPE II and Ever Increasing watches are priced at $180 and the ANT at $120 from Japanese überimporter and Gizmodo Gallery suppoter Gizmine. [Tokyo Street at Gizmine]

A Sandwich a Day: Softshell Crab Sandwich at Market Lunch in Washington, D.C.
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Eastern Market, a public market with indoor and outdoor stalls hawking everything from fresh produce and poultry to handmade jewelry to tarot readings, has been in operation for well over 130 years on Capitol Hill. The market is particularly busy on weekends, and no place has longer lines than the indoor hall's Market Lunch.
Come in on a Sunday for the famous blueberry buckwheat pancakes and you're out of luck—breakfast is only served on Saturdays before noon. Rather than attempting to get a table at one of the surrounding overcrowded brunch spots, try one of Market Lunch's seasonal Softshell Crab Sandwich ($9.95) instead.
It's exactly what it sounds like: a lightly fried softshell crab still hot from the fryer served open-face on a fluffy roll with romaine lettuce and a tomato slice (should you want it.) The crab itself actually tastes like crab, and while it could use a squeeze of lemon, it's probably one of the best (and cheapest) softshell crab preparations in the city. The homemade tartar and "pink" sauces look heavy, but either gives the sandwich a much needed vinegary and fresh kick.

Guam Police Captain Arrested Over Prison 'Security Breach'
Attorney says allegations against Charfauros 'political'
By Brett Kelman
HAGÃ TÃA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Dec. 27, 2012) – A Guam police captain has been arrested as a result of an investigation into a suspected security breach at the Department of Corrections (DOC). Police haven't given details of the alleged breach, but DOC has said it is connected to the Blue House brothel case.
Capt. Mark Charfauros was arrested on suspicion of official misconduct, according to a press release from police. Charfauros was booked and released, and he will spend 20 days on administrative leave, according to the release.
Meanwhile, internal investigations into the allegations against Charfauros continue at both the police department and the corrections agency. A separate, internal investigation into the Blue House case also continues at the police department.
Police haven't confirmed details about the allegations against Charfauros, but DOC officials alleged earlier this month that the police captain helped three other officers visit a suspect in the Blue House case. Charfauros has been temporarily detailed to DOC, but his duties have nothing to do with inmate visits.
Yesterday, defense attorney F. Randall Cunliffe said the complaint against Charfauros was politically motivated and the investigation that followed was just authorities going through the motions.
"I think GPD and the prison have to act on it when it becomes a big public issue," Cunliffe said. "If it hadn't been in the news and everything, probably nothing would have ever occurred for it... But it becomes a big issue, and now they have to undertake it, otherwise the media is going to say that they covered it all up."
Cunliffe said the case against Charfauros was initiated by a person with a vendetta against the police captain, although he declined to identify that person. Charfauros is a "lightning rod" for political controversy, Cunliffe said.
"(It is) more political bickering at the police department," Cunliffe said. "The person who brought it to everyone's attention hates Mark."
The prisoner visit at the center of this case occurred on Nov. 21 at the Hagåtña Detention Facility. The officers visited with David Manila, another police officer who is accused of assisting the Blue House brothel, where nine women were forced into prostitution between 2004 and 2008. Manila has been charged with kidnapping, rape and other crimes, and is being held on $250,000 cash bail.
According to the visitors' logbook at the Hagåtña Detention Facility, the three visiting police officers are Eugene Charfauros, Carl Lizama and Joel Terlaje.
During the visit, Mark Charfauros allegedly allowed Manila to use his cell phone, which isn't permitted under any circumstances, said DOC Director Jose San Agustin. It also is abnormal for police officers to visit an incarcerated suspect after the suspect has been charged in court, said Corrections Officer Jeff Limo, who handles internal affairs investigations at DOC.
On the day of the visit, Mark Charfauros was planning to go to lunch with the three visiting officers, so he invited them into the Hagåtña detention center while he finished up some business, Cunliffe said. Once the officers were inside, they visited briefly with Manila, whom they knew through the police department, Cunliffe said. It is not abnormal for visitors to speak with inmates while passing through the facility, Cunliffe said.
"I say hi to Manila and (other Blue House suspects) all the time when I am in there," Cunliffe said. "They are in the first cell… It is impolite (not to.) Somebody says 'Hey Randy, how you doing?' and you are just suppose to ignore them?"
In response to the allegation that Charfauros loaned Manila a cell phone, Cunliffe said inmates use cell phones within the detention center "all the time." Regardless of if this is against DOC rules or not, it is a common occurrence, and Charfauros is being singled out with this allegation, Cunliffe said.
"People use phones all the time in there. They use the land lines. They use paid telephones… I have had clients call me on guards' cell phones before." Cunliffe said.
The Blue House lounge was a Tamuning brothel that masqueraded as a karaoke bar from 2004 to 2008. Brothel owner Song Ja Cha has been sentenced to life in prison in federal court, but now three police officers are accused in local court of assisting the brothel.
Manila -- along with officers Mario Laxamana and Anthony Quenga -- are expected to go to trial sometime early next year. Manila's defense attorney, William Pole, has argued that prosecutors have received allegations against about 11 other officers, but have unfairly chosen only to prosecute some.
Manila, Laxamana and Quenga were indicted after a series of Pacific Daily News stories prompted the police department to reopen the Blue House investigation. Blue House victims levied allegations against police officers in 2008, but no officers were arrested for more than four years.

1941. 69p. This is a more philosophical presentation of Bayer's vision of the markets and the science or art of Financial Market Forecasting. Rather than delineating sets of trading rules or explaining technical astrological processes, here he is explaining the foundations, sources and philosophy of his techniques and theories.

Here's an early Christmas present for Legend of Zelda fans: a live-action preamble to the story of Majora's Mask, giving the backstory of the Skull Kid who stole it, fell under its spell, and emerged as the principal antagonist of the game.
Majora's Mask Live Action: The Skull Kid was written, directed, produced and edited by the same guy who also rendered all of its visual effects—Jared Potter. Potter also delivered BioShock: New Years End, a backstory to that series, in March 2012.
There are more than enough cameos from and references to the game in The Skull Kid to delight Majora's Mask fans. Enjoy.

Written on the Wind
My description of Written on the Wind that I stuck onto a copy of the DVD in the "Employee Picks" section at Amoeba is that it is a candy colored fever dream of violence and ecstasy. Dave Kehr, writing for the Chicago Reader, wrote that Written on the Wind was a "screaming Brechtian essay on the shared impotence of the American family and business life." I like both descriptions and I especially like the word "screaming" as it applies to what these desperate characters are really doing.
The first thing you might notice about the film is the colors. They overwhelm. Even if the action of the film centers on the downfall of one of those big oil family dynasties from Texas and the renegade pair of lovers caught in the middle, you might ignore the untamed passions exploding before you and instead fall into a hallucinatory stupor from all the cherry reds and periwinkle blues that flood the action of each meticulously constructed scene. The film is supremely pleasurable to look at. That quality of a luxurious surface of beauty is central to all of director Douglas Sirk's best known works. The surface appearances—which are always gorgeous—are reflected back on themselves via mirrors used throughout his films and create a grotesquely ironic commentary on the desperate entrapment that materialism and expectations of conformity conspire to create in the lives of his characters. If we want to understand the 1950s in America and what they mean to us now we would do well to watch his films. They reveal a lot.Continue Reading

On to DC
Doc, in his 12 years in the majors, had never pitched in a postseason game. He came to Philadelphia in a big trade last winter with the hope that string would end. It is fitting that he takes the mound tonight with the Phillies needing one more win to claim the NL East Division crown for the fourth straight year.
Everybody, Charlie, the players and fans, wanted another celebration on the Citizens Bank Park field on Sunday but the Mets spoiled the plans. For some reason, the Mets have Hamels' number. He struggled with his command and the offense couldn't come through with a clutch hit (1-for-13 with runners in scoring position).
So, the team boarded an AMTRAK charter train after the game and headed south to Washington, DC. The equipment truck, normally loaded with personal suite cases as well as all the necessary game equipment and medical supplies, had some extra baggage: cartons of champagne.
Clinching History
Any clinching will have to take place on the road. We've been spoiled because each of the last three seasons, the clinching celebration happened at Citizens Bank Park.
Winning the division title will be the 10th for the Phillies since the NL went to divisional play 41 years ago. The clinching for the first six all came on the road: twice each in Montreal, Chicago and Pittsburgh.
The Washington Nationals came about when the Expos moved out of Montreal. Four times, the Phillies have clinched against the Expos/Nationals–1976 and 1980 in Montreal and 2007 and 2008 against the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park.
Late during Sunday's broadcast when it was obvious the big moment shifted from Citizens Bank Park to Nationals Park, broadcaster Scott Franzke said, "The ticket office at Nationals Park will have a spike in business."
I-95 and AMTRAK will also be busy as Phillies faithful flock to DC.
Record Attendance
Thanks to the passion of Phillies fans for a sold-out season at Citizens Bank Park. Attendance records were smashed this season, both total and average pre game. 81 sellouts pushed the streak to 123 straight.
The Phillies ranked #1 in attendance in the NL.

IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey brings the hit flight game IL2-Sturmovik to console owners for the first time, with all new graphics, missions, physics and planes. The game includes large-scale aerial combat and ground based military operations from World War II. Players will participate in some of the war's most famous battles piloting fighters, battle planes and heavy bombers across a range of thrilling missions.
There are five areas of war to engage in -- The Battle of Britain, Stalingrad, Berlin, Sicily and Korsun' representing the main airborne battles of World War II in Europe. As well as advanced environmental visuals enriching the game play, IL-2 also boasts an all new damage effects engine. Players can see real time damage to the aircraft such as holes in the wings and trail lines during dog fights. Hundreds of airplanes will take part in air battle in IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey and the unique environmental engine produces highly detailed, realistic landscapes that allows players to see breathtaking ground support actions. The difficulty levels will range from arcade to simulation.
IL-2 is a name that a lot of console gamers probably aren't that familiar with, but that'll likely change when IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey releases this year on PS3 and 360. The PC version was known for its hardcore simulator elements, and has been a fan favorite for enthusiasts of WW2 combat aviation. The console version retains many of these simulator elements (if you want them), but also introduces an Arcade difficulty that allows more casual players who are just looking for a fun air combat game to enter into the fray as well.
Recently I had a chance to go head-to-head with other media outlets as well as with members of the IL-2 development team in the game's four multiplayer modes, so here are my thoughts about cutting my dog fighting teeth amongst the skies of Europe. Read More »

Via Peter Tchir of TF Markert Advisors,
Austerity is dead! Long live Spending!
Futures are up, Italian and Spanish bonds are up, CDS spreads on them are at least 10 bps tighter, and MAIN is 3 bps tighter on the day (though I have this feeling I better type fast as we are starting to fade off the best levels).
Lots of little things seem to be contributing to the strength, TXU earnings, no economic data, auctions that raised the required money, etc., but there does also seem to be a belief that Germany finally "gets it". That Germany is finally going to relent on their demands for austerity.
The first question is "what is defined as austerity?" Programs that are providing money today, that is quickly re-circulated into the economy because it is paying for people to live should not be cut – that is bad austerity. Raising taxes in general is probably bad austerity, but what about actually collecting taxes on all those who have avoided paying what they owe? Plans to reduce long term benefits must go forward, minimal current cost to the economy, but necessary for any long term solution. So while "austerity" hasn't worked, it is not all bad, and some forms need to be maintained to have any hope that the situation can be turned around in the future.
The second, and more important question, is "why does any sane person think spending for growth will work?" Just pause for 1 moment. How were these massive deficits built up? Was all the spending frivolous? I don't think so. A lot of spending was meant to target growth in certain areas. It is just very difficult to achieve. If spending to get growth was so easy in a global economy, the U.S., the current king of spending, would have Chinese like GDP growth. It is not that easy to spend your way to growth. I'm sure at some level, Solyndra received money because there was a real belief somewhere that it was a good investment for growth. GM might be used as an example, but I'm not convinced that the government spending did anything more than private capital would have done in the wake of a real bankruptcy. The excitement over "spending for growth" is almost mind-boggling, because it basically goes against a decade of history showing the inability of governments to spend and achieve real growth. But, there is one part that does make sense, at least from a Wall Street perspective.
So the final question is, "who will finance all that spending?" Ahhh, the real reason Wall Street is enthusiastic about spending for growth. The only way a spending for growth campaign can begin, is with another massive round of balance sheet expansion by central banks. That has been great for banks and wall street, while less clear what it has done for the economy, or anyone without a significant portion of their wealth in stocks. If Spain announced a big new spending campaign, would anyone really believe it would work? What would they do? Build more homes to get construction going? How would that help when an unpopped real estate bubble is part of the problem (actually the bubble has burst, it just hasn't been recognized on banks' and cajas' balance sheets). Would investors who aren't excited about lending 5 year money at 4.75% suddenly line up to buy all this debt thinking the new spending initiatives (which increase debt in the short term) will really work? I don't think so. Buying new debt in an environment where countries feel free to spend and run deficits because austerity doesn't work, will only frighten private capital. So the central banks of the world will have to step up again and provide the funding. I don't think that is a good thing, but can see why some do, and can really see why some of those pushing the most for a return to debt issuance and spending and central bank intervention would want it – because they benefit, not because it will work.
The reality is that spending won't solve anything. It will grow debt faster than the spending can improve the economy. Stopping longer term austerity programs will make the future debt to GDP ratios look even more horrific. There will ultimately need to restructuring on a massive scale.
It is no co-incidence that more and more sovereign debt is being funded by institutions in that country. It is specifically to make leaving the Euro easier. An Italian pension plan for example has both its assets and its liabilities in Italy. A conversion back to Lire is manageable in a situation like that. Yes, the pension plan's redenominated Italian Lire bonds may trade down because of the devaluation, but their pension obligations would also be redenominated at the same time, offsetting a lot, if not all of the pain. The same is true in the banking sector. Corporations won't have that luxury as many are global, but it may explain why Italian and Spanish companies have been busy issuing debt. So returning to traditional currencies has the least impact on the country and the Eurozone if the debt is largely held internally. That is the direction the countries and the ECB have been moving, so don't ignore this as a more likely real solution.
Debt restructuring in terms of coupon reduction, notional reduction, and maturity extension are all real possibilities too. If countries learned anything from Greece, it is that by waiting too long, and accepting more Troika money than the private sector wrote-off, the problem doesn't go away. Restructuring early and harshly is far better than waiting and doing it in bits and pieces, and it has to affect ALL creditors. One reason that the ECB hasn't resumed its SMP just yet is that countries aren't sure how much they want to owe the ECB. The ECB has proven itself to be an unhelpful partner in restructuring. Watch what the ECB does (or doesn't do) and ask yourself why.
So "Austerity Now" may be over, but killing something that didn't work, isn't the same as solving the problem. Going back to the norm that caused the problem in the first place, hardly seems like a solution either. Currency reversion and/or debt restructuring will be the ultimate end-game.
We get a deluge of housing data out this morning. I expect it to disappoint, but at this stage I'm not sure another housing disappointment does anything for the market. It would merely confirm what is becoming a consensus view – that the actual weather actually played a role in making the winter numbers look better than they might otherwise have been.
Good luck with the rest of the day, though I suspect that once Europe goes home we will do nothing but watch every move in AAPL like we did yesterday afternoon. In the meantime I hope I can get the Don Maclean American Pie song out of my head on "the day austerity died"….

NBC 4 New York
Eady Rothstein hopes to meet Larry Brickman, who was a 21-year-old lifeguard when he saved then 5-year-old Rothstein's life.
A woman who was rescued by a lifeguard when she nearly drowned in a pool as a 5-year-old has found her hero, almost 50 years after her brush with death.
Eady Rothstein, from Ramsey, N.J., was sitting on the edge of a pool at a club near Lido Beach on New York's Long Island in 1964 when she suddenly slipped in.
"I can picture being underwater, screaming," recalled Rothstein.
A young lifeguard jumped in and gave the little girl mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for several minutes. He persisted until she regained consciousness, saving her life.
"I've always said I wanted to thank him, and I should do it," said Rothstein.
Larry Brickman, who now lives in Florida, was a 21-year-old medical student living in Long Beach for the summer, working as a lifeguard to pay for school. He knew CPR -- training that most lifeguards did not get back in the 1960s.
Read more stories at NBCNewYork.com
"If no one was there to do this, I'm afraid she would have succumbed," Brickman said from his Boca Raton office Wednesday.
Rothstein and Brickman had only met in person that one fateful summer day. Recently, Rothstein came across an article detailing their encounter in a family scrapbook while moving to her new home in Ramsey. So she decided to track him down, and a simple Google search put them in touch.
"I got his phone number. I got his answering machine, and I left a message," said Rothstein.
Brickman returned her call.
"My final words to her when I hung up that day, after I called her back, were, 'You know, I guess we just got very lucky, you and I both,'" said Brickman.
Rothstein said after the trauma, her father made her get back in the water with swimming lessons. Now she regularly swims laps in the pool each summer.
An in-person reunion is in the works. For now, words on the phone will have to do.
"I owe my life, and it's a very nice feeling to finally be able to say, 'Thank you,'" said Rothstein.

Where you been amigo?! I can't be posting new campaign stuff without your input to play off of COME BAAAACK....CCCCCCCCOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEE BBBBBAAAAAAACCCCCCKK! hehe...take care and have a good day my friend
Hey Maelstrom. I saw in your sig that you are interrested in trading some D&D minis. Have you thought about trading over long distance? There are absolutely NO shops near me that sell singles and, it seems, not many people that do more than dabble in them. I have visited a few places online where I can buy them, but the prices are usually just too outrageous to want to spend what they are asking. I have also visited some trading boards, but the people I have discussed trading with want to only trade in either large amounts or have been completely unreasonable in trade. If this is something you are interrested in, please let me know.
I too have kids, of which 3 of the 4 are playing 4th edition. This has caused me to take the initiative to find more of the minis that I have had no luck in finding.
Hey Maelstrom, I just wanted to say I had a lot of fun posting with you about our 4th Edition experiences. My actions on these boards have been unfavorable to many in the last couple of days so I probably won't be around much. I just wanted to let you know that I've always considered you a good friend on here and I wish you the best of luck in all you do and your games. Take Care

The family of a man shot dead in a brawl outside a Hollywood nightclub have condemned the US gossip website TMZ as "disgusting" after it published a video of the incident.
The two-minute video shows dozens of clubgoers throwing punches outside a Los Angeles nightspot before one man pulls out a gun and fires two shots.
It then replays the incident in slow motion and shows a man in jeans and a black hooded top lying face down on the ground.
TMZ said the video was filmed by one of its own photographers. It appears on TMZ under the headline, "Clubgoer shot dead (video)" and has been viewed more than 17,300 times on YouTube and widely republished on other websites.
A man purporting to be the uncle of the victim condemned TMZ for "thoughtlessly and carelessly" posting the video and demanded an apology in a petition on the website Change.org. The petition by Jason Andrews has attracted 889 signatures at the time of writing.
He said: "These people [TMZ] have no regard for the loved ones affected by this tragedy. I understand freedom of press but the line has to be drawn somewhere.
"Its [sic] very obvious that the media has no morals and nothing is off limits when it comes to gaining ratings. What they did is wrong and they need to be held accountable. No one wants to see their loved one in this position, having this event viewed by millions of strangers is disgusting. This video needs to be removed and an apology issued to the family and friends."
Other people claiming to be members of the victim's family supported the petition, writing: "The shooting victim is a member of my family and him being viewed in this manner while others offer irreverent commentary is too much to bear."
Another commenter said: "As a viewer of TMZ, I find this video was posted under a lack of judgement and absolute disregard to the families and friends of this young victim. I'm praying the video is removed soon, and that it is used appropriately by law enforcement to apprehend the heathen whom committed this heinous crime. Until then, I along with others will not continue to support TMZ through viewing."
TMZ is one of the most popular entertainment and gossip websites in the US and has broken a number of Hollywood exclusives about the rich and the famous.
A link to the video on TMZ's Facebook page has been liked by 544 people and reshared 232 times.
Andrews and TMZ had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.

One of the hardest moments in life for many people is when they must acknowledge their addiction. Alcohol problems may even be more of an issue because society does not have the taboos against drinking as they do for drug use. It may take time for an alcohol addiction to stand out since it is socially acceptable to consume alcohol, but there are signs.
Inability to Stop
Alcoholism often makes people want to drink every day. It may also cause people to drink much more than they intended. Alcoholics often make the decision to have only one drink that evening, but by the end of the night consume several more. Each added beverage may give them a feeling of guilt or shame, but it is not enough to encourage them to stop.
Location is Inappropriate
Another concern is when alcohol use takes place where it should not. People may smuggle liquor into work or school, have a bottle in their vehicle or have a backup with them when socializing out of the fear their friends will not have any to serve. The need to keep a certain level of alcohol in the body all the time is a clear sign of a severe problem.
Used for Everything
Alcoholics often make excuses to themselves and others to justify their drinking. A happy occasion means a celebration with an alcoholic drink, as does sadness, anger, or fear. Calming the nerves, bolstering confidence and all other uses are not acceptable reasons to consume alcohol because they strip away the ability of the person to effectively manage their emotions.
Causing Legal Problems
Legal issues can take many forms. Problem drinking often leads to loss of driving privileges, but it can also be the catalyst for aggressive behavior and poor choices like shoplifting. Some parents even have their custodial rights stripped because their drinking makes them unreliable.
Any type of life interruption, career failure, or strain in a relationship due to the use of alcohol proves a problem exists. The drug rehab centers in Prescott Arizona also help with this type of treatment.

There's your one. for the next pictures of your pony, you have to post only drawn pictures.
you can have all of your characters in your character gallery. there's no limit on that. but those characters also can't have more than one character creator picture.
So say you 1000 characters in your character gallery, you have...2000 pieces of those characters (2 pictures per), only 1000 of those pictures could be from say a pony generator, and the other one must be drawn but you can have as many pictures you wish.
I tried to clear that up, sorry if I didn't.

This article was supposed to be published on May 31th 2010. I thought that the story was over…
Read the article because there is more to it later on.
This is the closing chapter of Idala LaGasse's story…
Sometimes you find something precious…
Alyce has something that is very precious.
Her grandfather wrote to his son David, Alyce's father.
That was 63 years ago. Idala was 77 years-old and David was 31.
The letter is in French.
Alyce is learning French as well as the rudiments of genealogy.
She hit the jackpot twice since her third cousin is a retired teacher and now a freelance translator as well as an amateur genealogist seriously addicted to genealogy.
Alyce translated her grandfather's letter. Pierre gave her an A- and helped her a little bit.
This is now the finish product.
You will learn a lot about Idala by reading it…
New Bedford, Mass
February 2, 1947
David LaGasse
Dear son
We have received your nice letter of 28 January. We are happy to know that your health is very good and that everything is running smoothly.
May God be blessed because happiness is a blessing that comes from heaven and deserves great appreciation.
You told me in your last letter that you prefer a private letter [instead of a postcard]. What a coincidence because I also prefer that but when I receive a postcard, I use the same method to answer back. It is not that I don't have any paper because I have a lot.
I am happy to know of your good disposition and the suggestions that you make at the moment. You have all we need right now. The pension we receive right now is 82 dollars each month which is enough for us. Despite the raise in the cost of living, we are very well and our health is good for our age. We thank God for this.
I am pleased to know the good thoughts that you have for your mother who, in turn, loves each one of you equally as if you were her own children.
This was my most profound desire when I got married: a good spouse, a good mother, a good husband and good children make for a good household and peace everywhere.
We must then thank God for all these blessings.
Rose is not working anymore. She is resting for awhile. Eugene is still working and he behaves well.
Samuel still has his new business and he is well
Bob and Florence are both working. They are well.
Your father

Magic Johnson buys Dodgers for $2 billion
A group that includes former Lakers star Magic Johnson and longtime baseball executive Stan Kasten agreed Tuesday night to buy the Dodgers from Frank McCourt for a record $2 billion.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: He's a Hall of Fame point guard. And he's fast becoming a Hall of Fame businessman.
Reports indicate a group led by Magic Johnson have succeeded in buying the iconic Los Angeles Dodgers for a record $2 billion. The amount is the highest ever paid for a sports franchise.
Look for Johnson to be the frontman for the group -as he's clearly comfortable in front of the camera and using his vast connections in and around the Los Angeles area.

The PPV opened with a video package featuring the "Cell" speaking about its excitement over "it's two favorite sons" Kane and Undertaker battling within it.
WWE United States champion Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz vs. John Morrison: Submissions Count Anywhere.
They made it clear before the match that the first submission wins the match. Miz had the last entrance and said that the entire situation was ridiculous, as he was "mentor to both" of them and that none of the fans would know who Bryan and Morrison would be without the Miz, but without them, he would still be the champion. Miz said that he has "it" and would be the new champion tonight. He claimed that he never tapped out before going into his catch phrase.
Miz was overwhelmed early by Bryan and Morrison before powdered out of the ring. They chased him around before taking him out in the ring and knocking Miz back outside of the ring. Bryan and Morrison went back and forth with some solid mat wrestling. Bryan locked in a leglock. Morrison grabbed the ropes but due to the rules, that wouldn't force a break. They go to the floor, where Bryan holds onto the move. Miz attacks both, breaking it up and tosses Morrison back into the ring.
Morrison was whipped into the corner but slipped away from Miz as Miz charged and locked in a Tarantula. Bryan dropkicked both, sending Miz to the floor. Danielson went for the Cattle Mutilation, which Matt Striker called under that name. Miz tried to get involved but Danielson caught him in a leglock. The crowd came alive when they thought Miz would tap. Miz kicked Bryan in the face and went for a heel hook. Bryan reversed it back into a leglock. Morrison came off the top with a corkscrew moonsault on both, then locked in a Haas of Pain on Bryan. Miz broke up the submission.
Morrison nailed a corkscrew plancha over the top onto Miz on the floor. He charged Miz but was backdropped into the crowd. Miz followed him and they battled back and forth into the crowd. Miz slammed Morrison into the barricade, then locked on an armbar in the crowd. Morrison punched Miz and followed him through the crowd as Miz tried to escape. They began battling up a flight of stairs, where Miz slammed Morrison into a steel guardrail. Miz slipped Morrison through the rail and tried a Dragon Sleeper but Bryan joined the fray to break it up. Miz kicked him down some stairs, then slammed him into a plastic trash can cover.
Danielson grabbed Miz., surprising him with a Fujiwara armbar submission. Morrison got involved but was elevated and dropped across a piece of the arena's steel sectioning. Miz threw Bryan into a guard rail, which collapsed, by the stage area. Morrison grabbed Miz and tossed him out of sight with Miz disappearing behind the stage. Morrison tossed Bryan into a wall. Miz returned with a large box on wheels, slamming it into Morrison. He placed Bryan atop of it and rammed it into the entrance ramp, with Bryan bumping off the box and onto the ramp. Morrison tried to lock a triangle choke on Miz on the box but Bryan interfered. Miz slammed Bryan into the barricade, then hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Morrison.
Miz and Bryan brawled up to the entrance stage. Morrison recovered and scaled the fencing that was used as decoration on the stage, then dove off a good 8-10 feet down onto Miz and Morrison. Morrison went for a Texas Cloverleaf on Miz but as Miz was about to tap, Alex Riley hit the scene and attacked Morrison. Bryan took out Riley (and a cameraman) before locking the LeBell Lock on Miz, who tapped.
Your winner and still United States champion, Daniel Bryan!
You knew we were getting a good match with these guys involved and they delivered. Real interesting stuff and a very entertaining brawl here. Lots of unique submissions. I really enjoyed this.
After the match, Michael Cole finally admitted, "I get it. Daniel Bryan is for real."
Legendary promo. I'm at the point I am hearing "I want my son back" in my dreams.
HELL IN A CELL: WWE champion Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
They showed a replay of Orton punt kicking Chris Jericho on Monday. They did the big ring introductions for the title match. They locked up once the cage was locked and went back and forth across the ring without either getting the advantage. They began slugging it out with Orton getting the better of it early but Sheamus mounted a comeback. Orton cut him off with a kick to the gut. He went to slam Sheamus into the turnbuckles, but it was blocked and Sheamus worked him over in the corner.
Sheamus whipped Orton into the ropes but Orton nailed a clothesline and tossed him to the floor. Orton followed and tried to slam Sheamus into the cage but it was blocked. Sheamus jumped right back into the ring to avoid the cage. Orton took him down and began stomping away at him. Sheamus came back with a slingshot shoulderblock off the apron into the ring, then began pounding Orton with elbows and punches. Sheamus brought him out to the cage but Orton fought him off. Sheamus finally whipped Orton into the cage and clotheslined him on the floor.
Sheamus grabbed the upper half of the steel ring steps and threw them at Orton but missed. Orton attacked Sheamus and rammed him backwards into the cage several times. Orton then grabbed the stairs and nailed Sheamus with them. Orton brought him back into the ring and attempted a suplex but Sheamus reversed it and draped Orton over the ropes. Sheamus tackled him, knocking Orton off the apron and into the cage. Sheamus tossed Orton into the ring for a two count.
Sheamus began stomping the hell out of Orton in the corner. Orton pulled himself up and fired back but was caught with a series of knees to the mid-section. Sheamus ripped the top turnbuckle off one of the corners. He tried to ram Orton into it but Orton blocked himself and fought back before being cut off. Orton rolled out of the ring to regroup but Sheamus grabbed him and raked his face against the cage. Sheamus grabbed the ring steps again. He set them up, picked up Orton for a suplex and dropped him across them. Orton began selling the ribs in a major way as Sheamus dropped a knee on them. He tossed Orton into the ring and scored a two count. Sheamus locked in a body scissor but Orton finally fought his way to his feet.
Orton began using rear elbows to fight off Sheamus, dropping him with a suplex. Orton sold the ribs as he made his way back to his feet. Sheamus charged but Orton evaded him and Sheamus nailed the buckle corner he removed. Both men went down, hurting but made their way back to their feet. They began slugging it back and forth. Sheamus went for a slam but Orton nailed a clothesline and powerslammed Sheamus. He whipped Sheamus into the corner but was caught with an elbow. Orton came back with a suplex for a two count.
Orton nailed a backbreaker but when he went for the RKO, Sheamus kneed him in the ribs. Sheamus pulled the ring steps into the ring. Orton began firing with rights but a knee to the ribs ended that. Sheamus picked up Orton for a slam but Orton escaped and ended up nailing a scoop slam on the stairs. Orton covered him but Sheamus got the shoulder up at the last second. Sheamus and Orton battled back and forth, ending with Orton snapping Sheamus' throat over the ropes. Back on the floor, Sheamus tackled Orton on the floor. They were treating it like a war of attrition where both were taking extreme punishment and were hurting. Both were doing a really good selling job.
Sheamus brought Orton back into the ring and nailed an over the knee backbreaker on Orton on the stairs. He nailed Orton with the pump kick but Orton kicked out and Sheamus' facial expression of shock was just plain awesome. Sheamus went under the ring and pulled out a chair, bringing it down over Orton's back and ribs a number of times, but only getting a two count. As Orton made his way to his feet, Sheamus went for a swing with the chair but missed. Orton nailed an RKO but Sheamus rolled out of the ring, killing the effectiveness of the move.
On the outside, Orton snapped to attention and teased the punt kick but missed it. Sheamus nailed the pump kick to Orton on the outside. He rolled Orton back into the ring but only garnered a two count. Frustrated, Sheamus set the stairs up in the ring again, then pulled Orton toward them. He went for the High Cross but Orton took Sheamus' legs out from under him, slamming Sheamus back-first on the stairs. Orton was too tired to take advantage so Sheamus went for another High Cross but Orton slipped out and nailed the RKO on the stairs for the pin.
Your winner and still WWE champion, Randy Orton!
Really well worked match but I don't think people will be touting this when the night is over. That said, I think they did a really good job telling their story.
Orton scaled the Cell to celebrate atop of it after the bout.PWInsider.com Elite subscribers are able to enjoy the coverage on an ad-free version of the site, and will also have access to our exclusive post-PPV audio show.

Lindsay Haislip
Class of 2013
Major/Minor: Economics and Business Management
Portfolio focus: Energy and finance
The Alex. Brown program has given me direct access to an extremely knowledgable financial professional who is dedicated to furthering the education of the student participants. As a college student, having this opportunity is a unique privilege.
Key information sources: Barron's magazine. For current events, I also read the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times online.
Biggest challenge: Creating the time to ensure that I am staying up-to-date on current events. Daily global occurrences can have great effects on our own individual portfolio holdings and its overall performance, so remaining as informed as possible is imperative.
Career goal: In a career, I hope to be able to apply the many skills that I have learned through the program, as well as in my business and economics courses at Washington College. I hope to pursue a career in the finance industry, perhaps in financial services. Post graduation, I hope to gain a bit more experience in different aspects of the industry in preparation for an MBA program.
Advice for prospective members: The best way to prepare for the Alex. Brown program is to become fluent in what is currently occurring in the global economic world. The events that occur on a daily basis are a large part of the foundation on which we base our investment decisions as a group. Becoming well-versed in the global economy and what is happening not only domestically, but also globally, is necessary for any participant in the program.

Porter happy with Astros' approach at the plate
HOUSTON -- Unlike in 2013, when the Astros began the season with a record strikeout rate, manager Bo Porter has been pleased with the quality of the team's at-bats through the first two games. The Astros struck out 11 times in Tuesday's opener and only seven times on Wednesday.
That's in stark contrast to last season, when they struck out 28 times through two games and 56 times through four games en route to setting a club record.
"The approaches have been good," hitting coach John Mallee said. "The personnel, they have some of that in them. The addition of Dexter [Fowler] has helped out, because he's a high-on-base-percentage guy. You've got Robbie [Grossman] at the top of the lineup, and [Jose] Altuve's been more selective.
"It's nice to see guys manage their at-bats better, and they're taking to the advance reports we're getting and understanding how the opposing pitchers are trying to get them out. It's a combination of all that."
Though the Astros were hitting just .213 as a team through two games, nine of their 13 hits were for extra bases, and some of the outs were productive. Grossman advanced Fowler to third base with outs in his first two at-bats on Tuesday, and he sent him home in the third inning of Wednesday's game with a hard grounder that was ruled an error on Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira.
"I've been pleased with the at-bats, especially looking at the [situational] hitting and guys grinding at-bats out, and even some of the strikeouts," Porter said. "It's not like we're expanding the zone much. We're swinging at good pitches, and frankly, we've missed a couple of pitches that we probably could have hit hard. But at the same time, overall, the at-bats have been outstanding these first two games."

Beautiful day out and then I see the all to familiar free cell tent a block away from the methadone clinic. I am so happy I PAY my cell phone bill so the "disadvantaged" can get a free phone. WTF!! The best part is both clinic and tent had the same people in line!!Almost always (not in my friend's case) these posts are racistly linked to President "Hussein Obama". OK. I know there are racists out there (not my friend, but it's impossible to do online research into this matter without coming across a lot of them), but that's not the point. What I want to know is, is this true?! Are there tents in poor neighborhoods giving away phones? If so, why? And is it an Obama plot?
Let me put it in FAQ format:
Q: Are they really giving out phones in the hood?
A: Yes!
Q: You mean they're really giving out free phones? Like with minutes on them?
A: Yes!
Q: Is the government really taking our hard-earned money and giving poor people phone service?
A: Well, Yes. More or less. Actually a charge on your phone bill rather than a straight-up tax. But whatever.
Q: Why can't I get one?
A: You might be able to, if you're poor enough to qualify for food stamps (gross annual income of less than $14,160).
Q: What's the cash value that these moochers get?
A: About $10 a month.
Q: Is this a secret Islamic Socialist Obama plot to take they money of hard-working white Americans and give it to poor ghetto drug addicts?
A: No, you stupid schmuck!
Q: But what about that video of the woman saying "Everybody got an Obama phone"?
A: She's an idiot. As is anybody who believes Obama gives out phones.
Turns out this subsidized phone service for poor people (many of them rural whites) began under The Great American Socialist, Ronald Reagan.
In 1996, when Clinton was president, people got the choice of using this subsidy for cell-phone service instead of land-line service. Fair enough.
Then in 2005, the program was expanded during the liberal Bush administration.
So go ahead and blame Obama. Why not? He is our president. Born in the Ol' U.S. of A. He does happen to be African-American. So go ahead and blame Obama for whatever you want... but don't blame him for phones subsidies for poor people! [You could, of course, blame him for saving the economy, killing Osama Bin Laden, getting out of Iraq, and keeping this country safe from a terrorist attack.]
The actual cell-phone giveaways did start, by chance, in 2008, right before Obama was elected. Why then? Not because Sharia law was creeping over America, but because cell phone costs actually came down so much that right around then private companies could actually turn a profit by taking money from this program, even with the expense of giving away a phone.
But you know what, maybe giving phone to poor people is actually a good use of government money. Crazy, I know. But think about it. Because you can't get a job if you don't have a phone! Certainly when I was a cop, most homes I went into did not have phone service. [Many didn't have electricity, either. After a while I felt kind of silly asking for a phone number, much less a "work" phone number. Seriously, you don't know what f*cked up poverty till you're a cop in Baltimore's Eastern District.] I seriously doubt people were poor because they don't have a phone. But, should perchance you want one, it's almost impossible to get a job if you don't have a phone phone number to put on the job application so your future employer can call you!
Meanwhile, on April 15, I was with all those middle-class home-owning folk lining up at the Post Office to get my Obama money. You know, mortgage interest-tax deduction. Thank you, Mr. President. I spent mines on booze!

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Maryland Athletics hosted a luncheon Friday afternoon at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to celebrate Gary Williams' enshrinement.
Family and friends joined Williams hours prior to the ceremony for a luncheon, which was hosted by Maryland broadcast icon Johnny Holliday.
Director of athletics Kevin Anderson, current men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon, former Terps standout Walt Williams, assistant coaches Billy Hahn and Dave Dickerson, and Williams' daughter, Kristen Scott, were also in attendance and shared fond memories of the newest member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
"He's a Hall of Fame Terp," said director of athletics Kevin Anderson. "The Maryland family appreciates his commitment, dedication, and love for Maryland basketball and the University."
Williams, who was also selected for induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, will be the first coach in history to be selected to both storied institutions in the same year.
"The true test of being a great coach is the relationships you develop with your student-athletes," said head coachMark Turgeon. "It's great to see him getting the recognition he deserves. This is an outstanding day for the University of Maryland."
The enshrinement ceremony is scheduled to begin in the Springfield Symphony Hall at 6:30 p.m. and the event will be broadcasted live on NBA TV.
