Regional Reviews: New Jersey
It's Kander and Ebb Time As The World Goes 'Round
Also see Bob's review of Bad Dates
In 1989, a musical revue featuring the songs of John Kander and Fred Ebb was conceived and created by talented young theatre artists Scott Ellis, Susan Stroman and David Thompson for Olympia Dukakis' Whole Theatre in Montclair. The rest is history. The resultant, truly exceptional Whole Theatre production And the World Goes 'Round eventually landed in New York where it ran for over a year, then went on to tour, and, subsequently receive innumerable productions. Now, thanks to the enterprising Women's Theatre Company, The World Goes 'Round (it has lost the first word of its original title somewhere along the way) has returned to New Jersey to entertain us anew.
('Round was a follow-up to the successful 1987 Off-Broadway Vineyard Theatre production of Kander and Ebb's 1965 Broadway musical >Flora, The Red Menace. Directed by Ellis, choreographed by Stroman, and with a Thompson revision of the original George Abbott-Robert Russell book, it had been revised with the participation of Kander and Ebb.)
Featuring the same song stack as its original New York production, along with the original, sometimes quirky and jazz orchestrations (albeit now for just piano and bass), 'Round continues to provide a felicitous opportunity to enjoy a substantial portion of the superb Kander and Ebb catalogue. Adding to the pleasure, the revue tends to concentrate more on the less well known of their songs.
As with its September production of Side by Side by Sondheim, Women's Theatre's 'Round owes its success to the excellent work of director-choreographer Lauren Moran Mills and Musical Director Warren Helms. With the assistance of co-choreographer Meridith Johnson, Mills keeps everything moving at a lively pace. She has provided song and dance movement which pleases the eye, is always appropriate to the material, and integrates her entire cast into the flow of a revue in which a high proportion of the numbers are performed in ensemble fashion. Musical Director/ Pianist Warren Helms (with Tim Metz on bass) performs miracles in providing sparkling, intricate accompaniment and making certain that the cast strives for the appropriate style and vocalization for each of the songs.
However, this production of 'Round does not share the brilliant success of September's Sondheim. The culprit is under-casting. For all their energy, enthusiasm and, yes, talent, several of the young cast members simply fall short of the polish and professionalism required in matters of carriage, stage movement, and/or vocal ability. The performances would satisfy in a rural summer stock theatre. However, for a metropolitan area professional production, higher standards prevail.
There is a standout, first rate performance by Emily Cara Portune. Her lovely voice, interpretations, timing, inflections and movements are flawless. Early on, Portune captures the poignant beauty of "Colored Lights" (The Act) and closes the first act with a bell ringing tour de force performance of the Liza Minnelli specialty showpiece "Ring Them Bells".
Most praiseworthy is the fine work of the very youthful Stearns Matthews. The very talented Matthews sings and moves very well. Unfortunately, there is an enormous gap between his adolescent appearance and mien, and the world weary sophistication and brittle humor of Fred Ebb's brilliant lyrics. Matthews' fine work, including a solid Mr. Cellophane (Chicago), and lead solo in the 11 o'clock number ensemble performance of the title song of Cabaret, is undermined by miscasting.
Sandy Lynn Taylor does her best work in her "The Grass is Always Greener" duet with Emily Cara Portune. Jillian Schochet nicely recalls "My Coloring Book," the hit song form Barbra Streisand's first album. Annette Coviello imparts feeling to Cabaret's "Maybe This Time." Marc G. Dalio and Danny Arnold solidly join forces to intertwine "I Don't Remember You" (The Happy Time) (Dalio) and "Sometimes a Day Goes By" (Woman of the Year) (Arnold).
Everyonecast, musicians and audiencehas a high, good time as The World Goes 'Round is brought to a rousing, highly infectious conclusion with a multi-lingual rendition of the Kander and Ebb Big Apple anthem, "New York, New York".
The World Goes 'Round continues performances (Friday and Saturday 8 pm/ Sunday 3 pm) through February 27, 2011 at the Women's Theatre Company at the Parsippany Arts Center, 1130 Knoll Road, Lake Hiawatha. Box Office: 973-316-303 at the Women's Theatre Company at the Parsippany Arts Center, 1130 Knoll Road, Lake Hiawatha.

The Biology of Neisseria Adhesins

AbstractMembers of the genus Neisseria include pathogens causing important human diseases such as meningitis, septicaemia, gonorrhoea and pelvic inflammatory disease syndrome. Neisseriae are found on the exposed epithelia of the upper respiratory tract and the urogenital tract. Colonisation of these exposed epithelia is dependent on a repertoire of diverse bacterial molecules, extending not only from the surface of the bacteria but also found within the outer membrane. During invasive disease, pathogenic Neisseriae also interact with immune effector cells, vascular endothelia and the meninges. Neisseria adhesion involves the interplay of these multiple surface factors and in this review we discuss the structure and function of these important molecules and the nature of the host cell receptors and mechanisms involved in their recognition. We also describe the current status for recently identified Neisseria adhesins. Understanding the biology of Neisseria adhesins has an impact not only on the development of new vaccines but also in revealing fundamental knowledge about human biology. View Full-Text

We offer a wide and changing variety of items, from juices and snacks to chips, candy and canned food. Because of our relationships with many food manufacturers and distributors, we buy large quantities of overstock merchandise and close dated food. What is close dated food you ask? Simply this; the manufacturer or distributor has identified the fact that they have more of this product than they will likely sell through their system before the expiration date. This is where we come in. With our 14 locations we can buy that stock at a great price, split it up as needed and ship it out to give our customers a great buy and help them save a few bucks on the grocery bill. Because of the nature of our relationship with many of these manufacturers and distributors, we can't advertise the brand names on many of these food items. Your jaw might drop when you come down one of our food aisles and find your favorite brand of gourmet chocolate, cereal or soup for a price so low you want to buy double! That's what we do and why we are here. Next time you are in your favorite Marden's location, stop by the food aisle, you won't be disappointed.

I had leftover Chinese for breakfast this morning.
That's important why?
I have no idea. I just feel like I needed to cleanse my soul of that information.
I have become the actual worst at breakfast lately. Three times last week I had Lean Cuisines. Like it's completely normal to have salisbury steak at 8 in the morning.
It's not.
So I've been actively trying to get back into my good breakfast habits. You know, eggs, cottage cheese, lots and lots of bacon. But it's so hard when I'm clearly addicted to mac & cheese and cashew chicken first thing in the morning.
I made this Coconut Pecan Granola to tempt myself into having cottage cheese this week so we'll see how it goes. I had some yesterday for a snack and it's delicious! I used coconut oil and the big, fat coconut flakes so it's extra coconut-y!
Homemade granola is as easy as mixing up the ingredients and baking it for an hour so if you've never given it a try, you really should. One of my pet peeves is grocery store granola being soggy and weird but with the homemade stuff, you can get it as crunchy as you want!
Make sure you follow me around the internet!

- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Put old fashioned oats and pecans in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Heat coconut oil over low heat until melted. Stir in brown sugar, honey, and salt; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the brown sugar has dissolved completely. Pour over the oat mixture and stir to coat everything in the coconut oil mixture. Pour onto a large, rimmed baking sheet and spread out into a thin layer.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. With 5 minutes left, stir in the coconut flakes and keep an eye on it. The coconut will toast quickly and you want to catch it when it's light golden brown.

Teenage Exercise Helps Fight Suicidal Thoughts Later In Life
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Teenagers who are in good physical shape are less likely to display suicidal behavior even years later in adulthood, according to a study published in Psychological Medicine.Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Sweden's University of Gothenburg found that 18 year olds who are in good physical shape have a reduced risk of attempted suicide later in life. Their study also shows that teenagers and young adults in Sweden have worse mental health than their age cohorts in other western countries.
The team used a study of over 1.1 million Swedish men to show that there is a link between exercising as a young person and a reduced risk of suicidal behavior later in life.
"Being in poor physical shape at 18 years of age, measured as the test results on an exercise bike during their medical exam for compulsory military service, can be linked to a risk of suicidal behavior as an adult that is 1.8 times greater," says Margda Waern, research professor at the Academy's Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology.
They found that the increased risk was evident even 42 years after the exam for military service took place. Past studies have found that physical exercise has a highly positive effect on human psychology, but this study showed how those effects can last decades.
"The teenage years are a critical period in terms of brain development since this is when social and emotional faculties are established. Therefore, it was important to do a larger study on the importance of physical fitness in terms of suicidal behavior in this age group," says Maria Åberg, researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy who led the study together with Professor Margda Waern.
The study covered all Swedish men born between 1950 and 1987 who completed the mandatory exam. They compared results from physical tests during the exam with the national register of disease and death.
Waern said even when the team excluded individuals who suffer from severe depression, the link between poor physical shape and an increased risk of suicidal behavior remains. One theory as to why the link exists is that the brain becomes more resistant to different types of stress in individuals who are physically active.
Researchers believe that physical exercise should be considered in suicide prevention projects aimed at young people. The findings are supported by earlier cross-sectional studies where teens were interviewed about physical fitness in connection with the risk of suicidal thoughts.
A 2010 study found that people who regularly exercise during their free time are less likely to have symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Green Energy
Green energy is energy that is produced in a manner that has less of a negative impact to the environment than energy sources like fossil fuels, which are often produced with harmful side effects. "Greener" types of energy that often comes to mind are solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy. The goal of green energy is generally to create power with as little pollution as possible as a by-product.
Reynard Corporation has been involved in green energy by providing Anti-reflection coating on Solar Cells (4% gain in transmission/surface). These coatings are hard and durable and will meet most environment exposures.
Reynard also provides Low-E coatings that suppress radiant heat flow. These coatings significantly reflect the heat load passing through windows, thus reducing heating bills during winter time. These coatings can be either a metallic or metallic oxide coating and will reflect 30% of the heat load back into the room while transmitting 70% of the light through the window.
Reynard Corporation provides broadband reflector coatings for Solar Concentrators and Solar Reflectors. These coatings are metallic and are designed for outdoor environments.
Prior to the installation of a wind turbine, a LIDAR is typically used to determine the most optimum location and direction of wind. A LIDAR sends pulses of laser light into the air and measures the Doppler shift of air molecules to determine wind speed and direction. These instruments require a combination of high transmission and filtering optics to achieve a high-precision measurement.

She writes that "failing newspapers are a reflection of our failure to keep my generation interested in issues of national and international importance."
Louise is a senior at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del., and edits the school newspaper, The Cardinal.
Her letter was written in response to a Jan. 27 op-ed in the Times that suggested saving endangered newspapers by turning them into "nonprofit, endowed institutions—like colleges and universities."
Louise's letter is printed below:
To the Editor:
We certainly cannot afford to lose the careful reporting offered by American newspapers, but sending a check is not the answer.Even if we were able to financially ensure the continued existence of American newspapers, how can we ensure citizen engagement? It is far easier to browse oversimplified headlines on the Internet than it is to pick up a newspaper and read an article in depth.This is why only a small handful of students at my boarding school read newspapers. The failing newspapers are a reflection of our failure to keep my generation interested in issues of national and international importance.

Robbins row gets second wind
Page Tools
Sally Robbins collapses in the final stages of the women's eight final.
Picture:Steve Christo
Members of the fractured women's eight received counselling yesterday ahead of the Australian Olympic team's parade in Sydney today, as the fallout from Sally Robbins' Athens collapse continued to attract attention.
Only days after crew member Kyeema Doyle apparently ignored a team pledge not to comment on the issue, telling the Manly Daily Robbins owed the crew an apology for breaking down near the finish line, the NSW Institute of Sport arranged counselling for the rowers.
Robbins told The Age yesterday she would join the procession, alongside Ian Thorpe, Jodie Henry, Sara Carrigan, Ryan Bayley and Anna Meares, as well as members of the men's hockey team and women's basketball and softball teams.
"I'll be there," Robbins said. "It's been pretty good (since returning to Australia)."
Rowing Australia still deemed the controversy stemming from Robbins' collapse serious enough to warrant group and individual counselling for members of the women's eight.
"They've all been dealing with this individually . . . the responses have been as different as the personalities of the girls in the crew," said Rowing Australia chief executive Andrew Dee.
"They are not only dealing with what happened in the boat but also all of the attention that followed, which can be difficult when you're not used to much publicity."

And Holly Hunter will be leaving an off-Broadway show.
Tuesday was a busy day for casting news in New York theater. For starters, it was announced that rising film star Shia LaBeouf (of the Transformers series) will make his Broadway debut this spring, appearing with Alec Baldwin in a new production of Lyle Kessler's Orphans. LaBoeuf will play one of two brothers who kidnap a shady older man, portrayed by Baldwin. He and Baldwin will be directed in the play, set to begin previews March 19 and open April 7 at the Schoenfeld Theatre, by Daniel Sullivan, currently helming a starry revival of Glengarry Glen Ross at the same venue.
Off-Broadway, Zosia Mamet, a regular on HBO's Girls -- and daughter of Glengarry playwright David Mamet -- will star with Matt Lauria in the New York premiere of Paul Downs Colaizzo's Really Really, directed by David Cromer, scheduled to begin performances Jan. 31 and open Feb. 19. The two will play a privileged young man and an ambitious young woman who become the focus of campus gossip.
It was also reported Tuesday, in the New York Times, that Academy Award winner Holly Hunter has bowed out of another planned off-Broadway production of a new play, The Vandals, written by actor Hamish Linklater. Hunter, who cited scheduling conflicts, will be replaced by theater veteran Deirdre O'Connell.

I haven't been garden much over the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I planted some peas and some fava beans in my yardshare garden, but assumed they would stay underground for a while until things warmed up. Then last week I notice the crocuses coming up.
photo credit: audreyjm529
Ok, I thought, it's pretty early, but when I lived in Ohio the crocuses lived through occasional late spring snowfall. No problem. But this week the magnolias started dropping the fuzzy shells that cover their buds. In a few days they will be in full bloom.
The problem is that once these processes are triggered by weather changes they don't stop. The blooms can't stop growing once they start. The weather here in Eugene will turn cold again and it will start raining, and raining hard. If it rains or turns cold while all the fruit trees are blooming then we can look forward to a very bad year for fruit. We will have few apricots, plums, cherries, or peaches.
I don't want to harp on climate change again, but I have to say something. One period of exceptionally cold or warm weather doesn't mean anything, but if you are a gardener you can record these signals. Keep a garden journal and record when the crocuses come out every year. This is actually invaluable information for you in terms of keeping track of your planting dates and also for scientists to understand how climate change is impacting different areas. You can understand climate change. You can see it happen if you pay attention.

ok for 1 night - Ramada Airport Miami May 31, 2007
We were in our way to attend to a wedding in FLL and since I was arriving late at night, my friend decided to book a hotel close to Miami's airport.
The location is good if you are looking for a place close to the airport. But if you look for something close to the beach, this is not for you.
It was average clean. The bedrooms and bathroom were ok. I was so tired that felt the bed comfy, haha. We just stayed here for 1 night, so we didn't have time to check the amenities or even giving a proper look to the neighborhood.
We arrived late at night. My friend has already did the check in in advance. I remember the rooms were a bit dark. The lights weren't working very good.
I'd recommend you to stay here just if you have a layover or want to be close to the airport. My case was because it was close to the airport and we didn't want to drive much in the middle of the night. I know they have a complimentary breakfast, but we didn't have time to try it. It was such a short stay, that I barely exchanged more than 2 words with the staff.

Imagine sipping a cup of sweet and buttery caramel topped with frothy cream–this recipe makes that dream a reality. Normally, drinking a cup of caramel would leave you feeling sick, but this cup of caramel is actually good for you! This recipe doesn't contain any chemicals or artificial anything; it is filled with natural ingredients that will nourish the body.
The key ingredient of this recipe is fresh, sweet dates–which means the taste of this recipe is only as good as the dates. Certain varieties of this nutrient-dense fruit taste like butter and brown sugar. You can use fresh or dried dates, but just know that this will influence the taste of the recipe so make sure you like the type of date fruit before making this.
Dates are absolutely bursting with nutrients. For instance, they are full of copper, magnesium, potassium, and iron–which means this is a great fruit for before or after physical activity. This drink provides an instant boost of fuel that will go straight to your cells, and it helps replenish depleted muscles with much needed electrolytes, vitamins, and protein. It is liquid gold. :)
- 1 cup pitted dates of choice
- 1 cup water or almond milk
- optional cinnamon and vanilla
- Pit dates and add to blender; pour in liquid then blend on high until mixed thoroughly. Top with cinnamon for an additional touch.
- For another version, reduce liquid to 1/2 cup and use one frozen or fresh banana.

A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket being defended by the opposition team during regular play. A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team is assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is mandated when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can be advanced on the court by passing it to a teammate, or by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag, one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.
Before widespread school district consolidation, most American high schools were far smaller than their present-day counterparts. During the first decades of the 20th century, basketball quickly became the ideal interscholastic sport due to its modest equipment and personnel requirements. In the days before widespread television coverage of professional and college sports, the popularity of high school basketball was unrivaled in many parts of America. Perhaps the most legendary of high school teams was Indiana's Franklin Wonder Five, which took the nation by storm during the 1920s, dominating Indiana basketball and earning national recognition.
Fantasy basketball was popularized during the 1990s after the advent of the Internet. Those who play this game are sometimes referred to as General Managers, who draft actual NBA players and compute their basketball statistics. The game was popularized by ESPN Fantasy Sports, NBA.com, and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports. Other sports websites provided the same format keeping the game interesting with participants actually owning specific players.
Women's basketball development was more structured than that for men in the early years. In 1905, the Executive Committee on Basket Ball Rules (National Women's Basketball Committee) was created by the American Physical Education Association. These rules called for six to nine players per team and 11 officials. The International Women's Sports Federation included a women's basketball competition. 37 women's high school varsity basketball or state tournaments were held by 1925. And in 1926, the Amateur Athletic Union backed the first national women's basketball championship, complete with men's rules. The Edmonton Grads, a touring Canadian women's team based in Edmonton, Alberta, operated between 1915 and 1940. The Grads toured all over North America, and were exceptionally successful. They posted a record of 522 wins and only 20 losses over that span, as they met any team that wanted to challenge them, funding their tours from gate receipts. The Grads also shone on several exhibition trips to Europe, and won four consecutive exhibition Olympics tournaments, in 1924, 1928, 1932, and 1936; however, women's basketball was not an official Olympic sport until 1976. The Grads' players were unpaid, and had to remain single. The Grads' style focused on team play, without overly emphasizing skills of individual players. The first women's AAU All-America team was chosen in 1929. Women's industrial leagues sprang up throughout the United States, producing famous athletes, including Babe Didrikson of the Golden Cyclones, and the All American Red Heads Team, which competed against men's teams, using men's rules. By 1938, the women's national championship changed from a three-court game to two-court game with six players per team.
In early December 1891, Canadian Dr. James Naismith, a physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.0 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed, allowing the balls to be poked out with a long dowel each time.
After a team has committed a specified number of fouls, the other team is said to be "in the bonus". On scoreboards, this is usually signified with an indicator light reading "Bonus" or "Penalty" with an illuminated directional arrow or dot indicating that team is to receive free throws when fouled by the opposing team. (Some scoreboards also indicate the number of fouls committed.)
The only essential equipment in a basketball game is the ball and the court: a flat, rectangular surface with baskets at opposite ends. Competitive levels require the use of more equipment such as clocks, score sheets, scoreboard(s), alternating possession arrows, and whistle-operated stop-clock systems.
If a team exceeds a certain limit of team fouls in a given period (quarter or half) – four for NBA, NCAA women's, and international games – the opposing team is awarded one or two free throws on all subsequent non-shooting fouls for that period, the number depending on the league. In the US college men's game and high school games for both sexes, if a team reaches 7 fouls in a half, the opposing team is awarded one free throw, along with a second shot if the first is made. This is called shooting "one-and-one". If a team exceeds 10 fouls in the half, the opposing team is awarded two free throws on all subsequent fouls for the half.
The game is controlled by the officials consisting of the referee (referred to as crew chief in the NBA), one or two umpires (referred to as referees in the NBA) and the table officials. For college, the NBA, and many high schools, there are a total of three referees on the court. The table officials are responsible for keeping track of each teams scoring, timekeeping, individual and team fouls, player substitutions, team possession arrow, and the shot clock.
At the professional level, most male players are above 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and most women above 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m). Guards, for whom physical coordination and ball-handling skills are crucial, tend to be the smallest players. Almost all forwards in the top men's pro leagues are 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) or taller. Most centers are over 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m) tall. According to a survey given to all NBA teams, the average height of all NBA players is just under 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 m), with the average weight being close to 222 pounds (101 kg). The tallest players ever in the NBA were Manute Bol and Gheorghe Mureșan, who were both 7 feet 7 inches (2.31 m) tall. The tallest current NBA player is Sim Bhullar, who stands at 7 feet 5 inches (2.26 m). At 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 m), Margo Dydek was the tallest player in the history of the WNBA.
There is a second category of fouls called technical fouls, which may be charged for various rules violations including failure to properly record a player in the scorebook, or for unsportsmanlike conduct. These infractions result in one or two free throws, which may be taken by any of the five players on the court at the time. Repeated incidents can result in disqualification. A blatant foul involving physical contact that is either excessive or unnecessary is called an intentional foul (flagrant foul in the NBA). In FIBA, a foul resulting in ejection is called a disqualifying foul, while in leagues other than the NBA, such a foul is referred to as flagrant.
Typically, a player faces the basket with both feet facing the basket. A player will rest the ball on the fingertips of the dominant hand (the shooting arm) slightly above the head, with the other hand supporting the side of the ball. The ball is usually shot by jumping (though not always) and extending the shooting arm. The shooting arm, fully extended with the wrist fully bent, is held stationary for a moment following the release of the ball, known as a follow-through. Players often try to put a steady backspin on the ball to absorb its impact with the rim. The ideal trajectory of the shot is somewhat controversial, but generally a proper arc is recommended. Players may shoot directly into the basket or may use the backboard to redirect the ball into the basket.

The basket is a steel rim 18 inches (46 cm) diameter with an attached net affixed to a backboard that measures 6 by 3.5 feet (1.8 by 1.1 meters) and one basket is at each end of the court. The white outlined box on the backboard is 18 inches (46 cm) high and 2 feet (61 cm) wide. At almost all levels of competition, the top of the rim is exactly 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the court and 4 feet (1.22 meters) inside the baseline. While variation is possible in the dimensions of the court and backboard, it is considered important for the basket to be of the correct height – a rim that is off by just a few inches can have an adverse effect on shooting.

Frank Mahan, one of the players from the original first game, approached Naismith after the Christmas break, in early 1892, asking him what he intended to call his new game. Naismith replied that he hadn't thought of it because he had been focused on just getting the game started. Mahan suggested that it be called "Naismith ball", at which he laughed, saying that a name like that would kill any game. Mahan then said, "Why not call it basketball?" Naismith replied, "We have a basket and a ball, and it seems to me that would be a good name for it." The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium in Albany, New York, on January 20, 1892, with nine players. The game ended at 1–0; the shot was made from 25 feet (7.6 m), on a court just half the size of a present-day Streetball or National Basketball Association (NBA) court.
A shot that misses both the rim and the backboard completely is referred to as an air-ball. A particularly bad shot, or one that only hits the backboard, is jocularly called a brick. The 'hang time is the length of time a player stays in the air after jumping, either to make a slam dunk, lay-up or jump shot.
The referee is responsible for judging whether contact is illegal, sometimes resulting in controversy. The calling of fouls can vary between games, leagues and referees.
May 04th, 2017, Loughborough, UK – FIBA's central board have approved a proposal in their rules, which will allow religious headgear to be worn during competitions. This rule will clear the way for athletes to wear hijabs, turbans and yarmulkes on the court starting in October.
Former coach Dave Rice consistently landed top-20 classes, but there were questions about whether Marvin Menzies could keep it up. The Rebels now have a top-25 class, headlined by five-star center Brandon McCoy.
In 1946, the Basketball Association of America (BAA) was formed. The first game was played in Toronto, Ontario, Canada between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers on November 1, 1946. Three seasons later, in 1949, the BAA merged with the National Basketball League to form the National Basketball Association (NBA). By the 1950s, basketball had become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball. In 1959, a basketball hall of fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts, site of the first game. Its rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees and people who have contributed significantly to the development of the game. The hall of fame has people who have accomplished many goals in their career in basketball. An upstart organization, the American Basketball Association, emerged in 1967 and briefly threatened the NBA's dominance until the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. Today the NBA is the top professional basketball league in the world in terms of popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition.
The two most common shots that use the above described setup are the set-shot and the jump-shot. The set-shot is taken from a standing position, with neither foot leaving the floor, typically used for free throws, and in other circumstances while the jump-shot is taken in mid-air, the ball released near the top of the jump. This provides much greater power and range, and it also allows the player to elevate over the defender. Failure to release the ball before the feet return to the floor is considered a traveling violation.
The ball may not be kicked, nor be struck with the fist. For the offense, a violation of these rules results in loss of possession; for the defense, most leagues reset the shot clock and the offensive team is given possession of the ball out of bounds.
Basket interference, or goaltending is a violation charged when a player illegally interferes with a shot. This violation is incurred when a player touches the ball on its downward trajectory to the basket, unless it is obvious that the ball has no chance of entering the basket, if a player touches the ball while it is in the rim, or in the area extended upwards from the basket, or if a player reaches through the basket to interfere with the shot. When a defensive player is charged with goaltending, the basket is awarded. If an offensive player commits the infraction, the basket is cancelled. In either case possession of the ball is turned over to the defensive team.
Basketball's early adherents were dispatched to YMCAs throughout the United States, and it quickly spread through the USA and Canada. By 1895, it was well established at several women's high schools. While the YMCA was responsible for initially developing and spreading the game, within a decade it discouraged the new sport, as rough play and rowdy crowds began to detract from the YMCA's primary mission. However, other amateur sports clubs, colleges, and professional clubs quickly filled the void. In the years before World War I, the Amateur Athletic Union and the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (forerunner of the NCAA) vied for control over the rules for the game. The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five years.
For both men's and women's teams, a standard uniform consists of a pair of shorts and a jersey with a clearly visible number, unique within the team, printed on both the front and back. Players wear high-top sneakers that provide extra ankle support. Typically, team names, players' names and, outside of North America, sponsors are printed on the uniforms.
Changing the start of the season good, but it's only the first stepCollege basketball wants to get away from opening night on a nondescript Friday in November. Changing to a Tuesday, giving hoops the stage free of football, is smart, but it's only a start.
The composition of race and ethnicity in the National Basketball Association (NBA) has changed throughout the league's history. The first non-white player entered the league in 1947. According to racial equality activist Richard Lapchick, the NBA in 2011 was composed of 78 percent black players, 17 percent white players, four percent Latinos (of any race), and one percent Asian.
Today virtually every high school in the United States fields a basketball team in varsity competition. Basketball's popularity remains high, both in rural areas where they carry the identification of the entire community, as well as at some larger schools known for their basketball teams where many players go on to participate at higher levels of competition after graduation. In the 2003–04 season, 1,002,797 boys and girls represented their schools in interscholastic basketball competition, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. The states of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky are particularly well known for their residents' devotion to high school basketball, commonly called Hoosier Hysteria in Indiana; the critically acclaimed film Hoosiers shows high school basketball's depth of meaning to these communities.

Ryan Grigson of the Indianapolis Colts Does Deals in BulkAugust 29, 2012
Ryan Grigson was hired to return the Indianapolis Colts to the top of the NFL, and he probably hasn't had a decent night's sleep since.
In just over six months, Grigson has turned over nearly an entire roster that went 2-14 in 2011 but also appeared in a Super Bowl in 2009.
To call Grigson aggressive would be an understatement. Drunk frat boys at ladies' night are aggressive. Grigson has been more like pissed-off wolverine.
Obviously, having the first overall pick in the draft has helped the transformation process, but Grigson hasn't been content to just draft and wait.
The Colts were too cap strapped to be players in the free-agent market, so Grigson has made liberal use of the other tool available to GMs hell bent on roster turnover.
He has made eight separate trades since March.
He acquired starting right tackle Winston Justice for a sixth-round pick in 2012.
He added backup quarterback Drew Stanton and a 2012 seventh-round pick for a 2012 sixth-round pick.
On draft day, he traded up from early fourth round to the late third round to select receiver T.Y. Hilton at the expense of a fifth-round pick in 2013. Hilton is currently in the mix for heavy playing time.
He picked up corner Cassius Vaughn for fullback Chris Gornkowski. This move hasn't paid off, as Vaughn has struggled and is currently listed as fifth or sixth on the depth chart.
He dealt defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu to get corner D.J. Johnson. Johnson is currently a backup to Jerraud Powers and might see action as the nickle.
He traded away corner Kevin Thomas who was later cut by Philly for linebackers Greg Lloyd and Moise Fokou.
He made a move to pry corner Josh Gordy away from the Rams for a late-round pick in 2014. Gordy is at the back of the depth chart.
Finally, his coup de grace for the 2012 roster-improvement quest was the bold move to deal second- and sixth-round picks for Miami corner Vontae Davis. Davis will immediately start for the Colts.
Eight trades. Six months.
He's added a quarterback, a wideout and a tackle. He's picked up two linebackers and four different corners.
He's traded away two picks from 2013 and one from 2014. He sent three different players packing. He's moved back in the draft and moved up in the draft.
Grigson has been a shark during his early months running the Colts, never stopping, always hunting for his next meal.
While many of his moves have been low-impact deals, the trade blitz will be a permanent part of his narrative with the Colts. If the team goes on to have success, we'll point to these early moves as evidence of the go-for-it attitude that hung new banners in Lucas Oil Stadium.
If the rebuild doesn't go well, the "Desperate Corner Search of the Summer of 2012" will likely be mentioned early on in the eulogy for his tenure.
For now, Grigson doesn't have time to worry about any of that.
He's probably too busy working the phones to care.

|The Impostor by Damon Galgut
|Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:56
Johannesburg: Penguin.
Adam, a middle-aged white man, edged out of urban South Africa by the loss of his job to a young black man, retreats to a ramshackle cottage in the Karoo. Next door lives an elderly Afrikaner, who at first avoids him but eventually proves desperate for company. Adam later meets Canning, who remembers him with gratitude because of advice given in their schooldays. He begins to spend weekends at Canning's estate, which the latter visits regularly with his beautiful, enigmatic black wife. The estate, intended by Canning's father to become a game farm, is an African earthly paradise – river, forest, mountains, kloof – and an old lion, a figure of the hated father.
Canning's wife, Baby, on whom he depends emotionally, begins an affair with Adam. Canning seems unaware of this, and confides to Adam his plan for revenge on his dead father: the earthly paradise will be destroyed and replaced by a golf estate. This involves bribery of the mayor of the town, and of higher-level officials, and Canning tries to involve Adam in this. It emerges that Canning himself is no more than a pawn (though one who will be richly rewarded), and international organised crime is involved.To go further with the plot would be to demotivate the potential reader, and though the novel is rather too plotty – even the next door neighbour and the weeds in Adam's garden are the focus of subplots – the interesting questions don't concern events. What is at issue is the neatness with which the characters fit into received ideas of the political and social scenes of present-day South Africa. Take Baby, for example: beautiful, sexy, pitiless as regards the poor, and on the make in a new world. Still experimenting when she begins her association with Adam, she soon finds a richer and more powerful man, and as Canning recognises, is on her way upwards. Yes, but I met the type in Isidingo years ago.
The novel sustains tension, and is more than readable – I read it myself at a single (long) sitting – but when I had finished it, there were no surprising insights. Galgut has emerged from the sub-Graham Greene atmosphere which permeated his last novel, The Good Doctor, and it may be unfair to ask of him what Coetzee's Disgrace offered us. But he is a talented writer, from whom one can't help hope for more originality.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – There are new reports about how the high-paid founder of a group of Albuquerque charter schools could be making extra money. Now the state auditor has released a report questioning if that man steered public funds into his own pockets.
The feds launched an investigation into these schools last week and that founder, Scott Glasrud, put himself on leave. Now, the findings of a separate investigation from the Office of the State Auditor reveal that his quarter-million dollar salary isn't the only way he may be profiting from his schools, Southwest Learning Center and SAMS Academy.
"I'm very concerned that millions of dollars may have been steered inappropriately to a public official for their private gain," said State Auditor Hector Balderas.
In a 24-page report released Wednesday, the Office of the State Auditor questions how the public charter schools are spending money from the state.
Glasrud's schools, which focus on aviation, lease planes from a company Glasrud owns. The schools have paid his company more than a million dollars for the planes since 2008.
The auditors office says the schools didn't follow a transparent bidding process and that it appears Glasrud gave his own company an unfair advantage.
"It's very concerning to me considering all these transactions are being fueled by public dollars, and intended to benefit the student population," Balderas said.
The report also questions why the schools lease a building on Montgomery from Glasrud's company, while the Southwest Learning Center is on Candelaria.
In a two year period alone, the schools paid his company a quarter million dollars to lease part of the building and auditors weren't able to determine what exactly the building is used for.
"These are still ongoing questions that we will be referring to the Public Education Department, Public Education Commission and the school boards to weigh in so they can provide additional documentation and transparency to the state of New Mexico," Balderas said.
The report also questions Glasrud's nearly quarter-million dollar salary and benefit package and why his contracts give him a total of 95 leave days a year which totals 19 weeks of paid vacation and unused days, up to 70, can be cashed out.
"Anytime you allow power and authority to be centrally controlled by only one individual, it's very easy for that one individual not make decisions in truly the best interest of these public institutions," Balderas said.
The state auditors office says it's going to continue to monitor the schools and says it found issues that *weren't included in the report that they forwarded to the FBI.
The FBI confirms it's investigating the schools but won't say why.
The schools released a statement from their lawyer saying they're still reviewing the auditor's report.
The Public Education Commission, which has the power to revoke the schools' charters, would only say they're going to talk about the findings at their next meeting.

Recently I've gone on a kick of deleting old e-mails and unsubscribing myself from the e-mail list of many companies. Perhaps the main reason (and company I'll be using as my main example) is the amount of spam e-mails I've been getting from Ann Inc.'s brands Ann Taylor and Loft. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE both stores. But getting an e-mail every day advertising a "new sale," well that's not really a sale at all. Set up a strategic plan prior to sending your blasts out and make sure to keep my tips below in mind. From both a consumer and marketing communications professional standpoint, here are my do's and dont's for e-blasts:
Have a frequency option for your customers when they sign up for your e-mail list
Send out an e-blast when you legitimately have a good deal or something you want to stand out
Offer a quick and easy way for customers to unsubscribe
Come up with a fun and catching headline that will make your customers want to open your e-mail
Ensure that your message is readable on mobile devices- most people use smartphones for communication
Send out a daily e-mail- it's overkill
Leave out contact information, in case subscribers want to get in touch with you
Use all caps in your subject line, it looks like you're yelling
Put important info at the bottom of your e-mail, people won't always read all the way through
Forget to make sure all of the links you included work properly

Matt Cutts has again created a rather bustling situation in the search arena with the latest announcement. Cutts stated. "I'm calling it: if you're using guest blogging as a way to gain links in 2014, you should probably stop. Why? Because over time it's become a more and more spammy practice, and if you're doing a lot of guest blogging then you're hanging out with really bad company".
Here's the email that Matt showed:
The Next Step
It is important for you to understand that SEO isn't dead. If guest posting was your strategy to get SEO links, it's time to re-evaluate your plans. Understand that guest posting can be a good source of links, but it more importantly drives real people to your website. So, create amazing content as well as links to inspire people and this will really help. Expand your brand by focusing on high quality posts.
Getting Started
There are thousands of places to make a start from. You can join a local community and become an expert or comment on the posts to show the community that you are somebody worth listening to. By starting small, you can actually lead to creating your own blog.
Cutts also added, "There are still many good reasons to do some guest blogging (exposure, branding, increased reach, community, etc.). Those reasons existed way before Google and they'll continue into the future. And there are absolutely some fantastic, high-quality guest bloggers out there. I changed the title of this post to make it more clear that I'm talking about guest blogging for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes".Guest Blogging for Links Should Stop, Says Matt Cutts!,

SOURCE: Itronics Inc.
April 29, 2014 09:10 ET
RENO, NV--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2014) - Itronics Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ITRO) reported today its first quarter 2014 GOLD'n GRO fertilizer sales at $466,000, approximately even with 2013 first quarter GOLD'n GRO fertilizer sales at $469,000.
"This is excellent news since the central valley of California, the main market area for GOLD'n GRO fertilizers, remains suffering from severe drought and increased irrigation water restrictions. Predictions were that 2014 crops and fertilizer sales would decrease significantly," said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President.
"Our current outlook, assuming weather in 2014 and related agricultural cropping patterns in our California markets are similar to 2013, is that sales should be stable," said Dr. Whitney. "There could be an increase if certain new projects that are underway, including the recent introduction of GOLD'n GRO Valu-Paks for consumers on Amazon.com as detailed in three recent news releases, begin to produce results."
About Itronics

Photo hy Henry Ch Photo hy Henry Chen Bringing diverse, entertainment to UH students through a variety or interesting venues and performances The Student Program Board is the largest student-fee-funded organization on campus. It is a student-run organization designed to bring diverse, quality entertainment to the students of UH. SPB's primary purpose is to present events and activities that stimulate thought, provide entertainment and bring a sense of community to the campus. SPB has eight original committees with two new committees that specialize in different areas of campus. The programming committees are cinema, concerts, homecoming, sound and lighting, speaker's forum, special events, Student Video Network, and visual and performing arts. The two new committees are marketing and sports and recreation. According to SPB, the Student Video Network is the most popular committee of SPB, especially among communication majors. SPB sponsored many popular events this year. For example, the concert committee produced a concert at the Cullen Performance Hall with Digital Underground who sang its popular song "Humpty Dance." The local Houston rock band Simpleton performed as Digital Undergrounds' opening act. As part of the concert Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity put on a step show. This event also featured the appearance of two very funny comedians: Ralph May and John Wessling. In addition, showings of Superstar and Three Kings, starring George Clooney and Ice Cube were also held. The committee for Homecoming produced a homecoming week extravaganza titled "Back in Time From '99." This event included the introduction of the Homecoming Court and of various campus organizations and fraternities and sororities. It seems that SPB has once again had another exciting and eventful year at the University of Houston. •WK iy Kevin Harris II. GETTIN JIGGY Student dance with Digiital Underground for tickets.

The boss of a mobility firm that ripped off the elderly has been jailed for 18 months.
Amarjit Gill from Giltbrook defrauded pensioners out of over £40,000 and the judge that sentenced him this week called his actions 'disgraceful'.
Mr Gill's wife, Ranjit, and two managers were given suspended prison sentences and ordered to do unpaid community work.
Derbyshire County Council's trading standards team carried out one of its biggest investigations ever after receiving a wave of complaints about Virgo Healthcare Limited and Lifestyle – two companies ran by the Gills from a business park in Long Eaton.
Staff sold mobility aids including reclining chairs, orthopaedic beds and walk-in showers, costing up to £3,892 to elderly buyers.
Some of the fraud offences related to pensioners not being given their money back when they tried to cancel the contract during the seven day cooling off period – this right to cancel is given to anyone who agrees a contract in their own home.
In the worst cases, the goods were not even delivered to the victims – leaving them without the mobility aids they had paid for.
In a court hearing earlier this year the Gills admitted 25 charges for offences which saw them fraudulently make £42,515.
The Gills, of Brackenfield Drive, were banned from being company directors for five years.
Earlier this year the firms featured on Watchdog.

Here's How You Can Tell Congress To Dump Citizens United
On January 18, Common Cause will launch their "Amend 2012″ campaign as part of a growing movement against the free-flow of corporate cash into the American electoral system. "Amend 2012″ will put voter instruction measures on state ballots that give voters the chance to tell their congressional representatives to adopt an amendment denying personhood to corporations.
It's a strategy with a long history in American politics. Constituent instructions played a key role in the adoption of early constitutional amendments. Almost all of the early American colonies used instructions from assemblies of voters to order their elected representatives to take specific positions.
Voter instructions were one of the tactics used to pass the 17th Amendment for the direct election of Senators. In 1908 Oregon voters achieved direct election of U.S. Senators by passing a ballot measure that instructed the state legislature to appoint to the U.S. Senate the candidates who received the highest number of votes in the general election. Soon other states started using the Oregon model to ensure that more Senators who were, in effect, elected based on popular vote to become advocates for the 17th Amendment, leading to its passage in 1913.
The time is right for a campaign like this. In 2010 the Hawaii legislature passed a resolution requesting Congress pass a constitutional amendment to clarify the distinction between corporations and natural persons and preserve the power of Congress and the states to limit corporate political expenditures. In 2011 the Hawaii House followed up by passing a stronger version that "urged" Congress to pass an amendment providing that corporations are not persons. Similar resolutions have since followed in Vermont, California and New York City.
Make no mistake about it, this will not be an easy task. It takes 68 votes for a constitutional amendment to clear the U.S. Senate, and considering how intent corporations are in keeping their personhood status, there will be lots of pressure on Senators to reject these non-binding instructions. But with your help, in the form of direct lobbying and grassroots pressure instructions passed in 12-14 states could lay that groundwork. Once through the Senate 38 states would need to ratify the amendment, with the foundation for ratification already in place through the efforts at the Senate.
Yes, this is hard, and yes it is technical, wonky stuff. But corporate interests are relying on voter apathy and exhaustion. They are not prepared for a citizenry armed with a true desire to demand transparency and accountability in their elections. For once, the momentum is on our side. Let's take it.

Welcome to the Carroll Studio Gallery
We are happy to share this updated venue for our work with you, and thank you for visiting us.
We have wanted for some time to greatly expand the range of our original site, with a more comprehensive exposition of our art, in particular of our original works, which we will be able to offer for sale via our studio gallery/art web site, as well as directly from the gallery. These will complement our historic – classic – images that have been available as prints for many years.
We will also be introducing a series of signed, limited edition giclée prints of selected original works. David looks forward to displaying and offering for sale original works in genres outside of the natural history drawings and watercolors, the aspect of his work that is by far the most familiar to viewers and collectors. Selections of his non-natural-history drawings and paintings are shown in the gallery tour videos, parts one and two.
We will continue to have our traditional line of "product" (as I call it), with prints of some of David's watercolors of turtles, trout, salamanders and frogs; Laurette's landscapes and flower and garden paintings; Sean's evocative "Last Cast"; as well as magnets and cards with some of these images, David's books, and the T-shirts.
It is also David's intent to take up his long-abandoned blog, davidmcarrolljournal.com, with highlights from the past (2015) season, observations from his twenty eight years' worth of field notebooks, and other commentary, and accounts from the field as another season begins.
He will also be addressing issues of increasing importance concerning the destiny of the "Digs", that has been at the heart of his notebooks, and central to his presentations and published works, as he continues to press for the need to go beyond conservation to preservation – the setting aside of intact, extensive, ecosystems featuring endangered/at-risk species and high biodiversity – excluding public recreational access (a feature of virtually all conservation properties), the great majority of which become, in essence, human playgrounds/theme parks, and dog parks.
This is an increasingly critical and contentious issue, with true preservation all but impossible to put in place.
Our new format will allow expanded pages, videos, and other content to amplify our site with exhibitions of our work, David's writings (some in the foreign languages he pursues), demonstrations of our creative processes, virtual gallery tours, David's readings, and on.
We invite you also to view postings that have been archived on Youtube in recent months, showing some archival videos of David's presentations on turtle and wetland ecology, interviews, readings, and documentaries on his field work, art, and writing.
With best wishes, the Carrolls.
Naturalist-artist David M. Carroll, who in 2006 was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, is the author of three acclaimed natural histories: THE YEAR OF THE TURTLE; TROUT REFLECTIONS; and SWAMP-WALKER'S JOURNAL.
The latter was awarded the John Burroughs medal for distinguished nature writing. This "wet-sneaker trilogy" was expanded to a quartet with the publication of his memoir centered on his lifelong connection with turtles and their habitats, SELF-PORTRAIT WITH TURTLES.
David's last book, FOLLOWING THE WATER, was nominated as a finalist for a National Book Award in non-fiction.
Laurette Carroll studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She works in oils, acrylics, watercolors, and pastels, often using mixed media and integrating drawing and collage elements into her paintings.
Her approaches range from naturalistic to impressionistic and abstract. Landscapes, in particular rivers, marshes and swamps, are a primary theme in her work, which is painted directly from nature as well as from memory and imagination.

Definitions for nazirite
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word nazirite.
Webster Dictionary
a Nazarite
In the Hebrew Bible, a Nazirite or Nazarite, refers to one who voluntarily took a vow described in Numbers 6:1–21. The proper noun "Nazarite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated". This vow required the man or woman to: ⁕Abstain from wine, wine vinegar, grapes, raisins, intoxicating liquors, vinegar distilled from such substances, and eating or drinking any substance that contains any trace of grapes. ⁕Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head; but to allow the locks of the head's hair to grow. ⁕Not to become impure by corpses or graves, even those of family members After following these requirements for a designated period of time, the person would immerse in a mikveh and make three offerings: a lamb as a burnt offering, a ewe as a sin-offering, and a ram as a peace offering, in addition to a basket of unleavened bread, grain offerings and drink offerings, which accompanied the peace offering. They would also shave their head in the outer courtyard of the Temple and then place the hair on the same fire as the peace offering.
