The Magic are being attacked by some kind of stomach flu bug so there's a chance they will be without Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Mickael Pietrus and J.J. Redick tonight against the Hawks.
(Update: Magic coach Stan Van Gundy says he's optimistic Howard, Pietrus and Redick will play tonight though he's not sure how much energy they will have. Nelson is doubtful)
From Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel:
Stan Van Gundy left Wisconsin hoping that Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Mickael Pietrus and J.J. Redick will recover from their stomach virus in time to play Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.
But Van Gundy also emphasized that he had no idea whether the foursome would be healthy enough.
"Monday night, I think, is still pretty iffy for a lot of guys," he said.
Redick came down with the illness first, beginning to experience symptoms early last Wednesday morning. Four days later, he still wasn't ready to play in Milwaukee.
Howard and Nelson became ill on Friday. So, if their illnesses last four full days, they wouldn't be able to play against the Hawks.
If those guys sit and the Hawks still can't win in Orlando then it may never happen.
By the way, my stomach virus had me on the shelf for like two days last week. Yeah, that's right, I'm saying I'm tougher than those dudes.

This team has too many flaws to make any real noise. People around here overrate the hack out of Josh Smith and Joke Johnson. No Size. PG Liabilities. Bench Liabilities.
Horford is the only untouchable piece

Alex, thanks for that incredible insight.
I was about to say that I was dreading watching this game, since it is nearly an automatic loss. Hearing about this flu outbreak gives some hope, though. However, even if those guys can't go for the Magic, I would not call the Hawks a lock. This team is just full of too many headcases. Very easy to picture them going out against a totally outmanned Magic team and losing.

Maybe Cunningham can come off the bench for Bibby? Toughness wins out
December 6th, 2010
11:15 am
I hope the birds come ready to compete. This is a great opportunity for a win against an undermanned Magic team. Go Hawks!!!
December 6th, 2010
11:16 am
To be on the safe side, i hope hawks will still prepare for a healthy Orlando team. But if 3 of those guys do not play, hawks should win by double digits.

Hawks need to get flu shots before the mouse house malaise hits them.
December 6th, 2010
11:40 am
If those guys dont play its a game the Hawks should win but we have seen them lose to short handed teams in the past. Was it a Clippers game where they only had 8 to dress and they gave the Hawks the business? Hopefully they come out ready to play but you never know with this team
December 6th, 2010
11:47 am
This is a game we lose last year – underperforming vs. very sick team.
December 6th, 2010
11:47 am
I wonder what happened to Bibby? When he first got to the Hawks he could make long shots regularly, now it's rare when he can hit one.
December 6th, 2010
11:48 am
The way the Hawks' luck usually goes, they'll lose the game AND get the virus ORL's got.
December 6th, 2010
11:49 am
People need to realize how deep Orlando is.
Even without those guys, they still got Brandon Bass, Vince, Shard, and Duhon.
Those are all damn solid players. Bass was beasting like 3 nights ago
December 6th, 2010
11:51 am
"I wonder what happened to Bibby? When he first got to the Hawks he could make long shots regularly, now it's rare when he can hit one."
The problem with Bibby is that he is extremely UNATHLETIC, so he cannot drive the lane. He has no speed at all, so he consequently cannot create space. His entire offensive game depends on 3 pointers and jumpshots. He cannot get in the lane at all
December 6th, 2010
11:55 am
cp beat me to it. I was going to reference that Clipper game myself. Orlando still has Vince Carter and last year's Hawk killer, Chris Duhon. Even Gortat stepped up in Howard's absence in one of those games.
But if those 4 are out, then yeah, we should beat them. The one guy we don't need playing, is Dwight. If he's the only one that can play, all bets are off.
December 6th, 2010
12:00 pm
This is not going to be an easy win, people. With Joe out, we lose a major threat.
We need Jamal or Josh to really step it up tonight.
I remember we got killed by Orlando last year without Vince
December 6th, 2010
12:07 pm
LOL @ Navigator
Bibby can't make long shots? He's shooting 53% from 3 point range, which is #1 in the league. So far this year, Bibby may be our 3rd most important player, next to Horford and Smith. We lose at least 3 extra games this year without Bibby's shooting.
December 6th, 2010
12:09 pm
Time for the hawks to turn into vultures as the Magic are on life support right now.
December 6th, 2010
12:20 pm
So the NBA will take over ownership of the New Orleans Hornets huh?
Keep an eye on this. The last thing we need is for the league to try to stack the deck for a team ( cough ) New York Knicks ( cough ), by trading Chris Paul to them, so that the Hornets become more payroll attractive to prospective owners.
This also seems like an opportunity for an owner to buy the Hornets and move them out of NOLA. The article mentions Seattle, Kansas City, and Anaheim as possible cities that a NBA team may relocate to.
I'll add MC's old stomping ground of Louisville to that list as well. Not sure if Louisville can adequately support an NBA franchise from an attendance standpoint, along with the Louisville Cardinals . . but that new arena they have in Lousiville ( the KFC Yum! Center ) is nice, state of the art arena.
December 6th, 2010
12:32 pm
JeJe, I agree with your suggestion that the Hawks bring Marvin from the bench. I have been pleased with Marvin in short stretches of games, but he does disappear for a few games in between. This is a pattern with Marvin and has little to do with the opponent and more with Marvin's desire. Maybe finding himself on the bench at tip-off will help light that fire.
December 6th, 2010
1:17 pm
Moving a team to KC or Anaheim is idiotic
Either keep it in Nola or move it back to Seattle. Everybody loved the Sonics
December 6th, 2010
1:26 pm
This also seems like an opportunity for an owner to buy the Hornets and move them out of NOLA. The article mentions Seattle, Kansas City, and Anaheim as possible cities that a NBA team may relocate to.
So, the NBA moves the Sonics to Oklahoma City, but might move the Hornets (less than ten years after they moved to NOLA from Charlotte) to Seattle. Actually, I'm not sure how realistic a destination Seattle is. The company I work for is based in Seattle, and, when the Sonics were moved, it seemed like the suggestions most people in that area had for Stern and the NBA were not very complimentary. They had a connection with the Sonics. Not sure they're going to welcome a team that's on its 3rd home in less than 25 years of existence.

KFC Yum! Center – That is the dumbest name for a sporting complex I have ever heard. The word 'Yum' in the name is offensive to me. It is so immature. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George gets a woman to date him by repeatedly singing 'Co-stan-za'.
Here in Tampa we have the '1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheatre'. It it equally offensive.
December 6th, 2010

@GT Alum – "The company I work for is based in Seattle"
I guessing Boeing

2:23 pm
Brandon Bass has a per around 20 if I remember correctly. Wish the Hawks had him, he wanted out of Orlando after almost not playing last season (DNP, Coach's Decision, or very limited minutes.).
December 6th, 2010
2:26 pm
Our only hope probably is Jameer not playing. I think he gives us almost as many fits as Dwight. We just don't match up well with him.
BTW – When you see Jameer's stats, think Jeff Teague in 4 years. I believe Jeff has that type of potential.
December 6th, 2010
2:28 pm
In the grand scheme of things, the team will get worse before it gets better. Joe or no Joe.
The main thing here is do we wait until that happens or do we make moves to improve the team before we slip and slide almost to the point of battling it out for a 7th or 8th seed. Damien was a nice pick up though, lets see what he can do on VC.
December 6th, 2010
2:36 pm
The NBA should have moved the Hornets to Oklahoma City in the first place. There was way too much Katrina sympathy at that time. Look where it has gotten them now. That team would be a profit in OKC.
I've always thought Seattle could have been saved. Stern dropped the ball on that.
December 6th, 2010
2:41 pm
SteveW . . . why would you think that? Jameer is light years a better offensive player than Teague. I just hope that Teague can be as good as Speedy Claxton, when Speedy was a decent PG.
December 6th, 2010
3:04 pm
This is Al Horford's team. LD made a mistake when he didnt name Al the ONLY captain. Josh CANT lead, and Joe DOESNT WANT to lead. Just my 2 cents for the day. lol!
December 6th, 2010
3:09 pm
"This is a game we would lose last year". Funny, we lost a whopping 29 games last year. So when we lost to the Celtics a few weeks ago, did anyone suggest "that was a game we would have WON last year?"
December 6th, 2010
3:11 pm
Funny, when I watch Teague, I wonder if he will be Acie Law in 3 years.
December 6th, 2010
3:11 pm
If you guys think that Marvin disappears from games as a starter, what do you think he gonna do coming off the bench? LD will probably have to wake him up to tell him to go in. Dude just seems disinterested in basketball some times. Dont know if bringing him off the bench will change that. On the other hand, we need more consistency from the sf spot, so anything will help. How bout we just break up the "core" and build around Joe and Horford? That's a thought??? lol!

Agreed. Captains cant cry and disrespect the coach because he pulls you from the game because of your own screw ups, then continue the crying to other players on the bench.
If Joe was a real captain, he would have told Smoove man I dont even wanna hear it, talk that out with coach, dont bring that mess to me.
December 6th, 2010

I normally stay away from the trade proposal game, but I think I found one that is at least semi-realistic (all parties get something out of the trade), and would help the Hawks:
Basically, in a three-way trade, the Hawks get Marcus Camby, Andres Nocioni, and Rudy Fernandez. We would have to give up Jamal Crawford, ZaZa Pachulia, and Mo Evans.
Camby provides us size and defense in the middle. He could come off the bench, or provide some flexibility in our starting line up. Nocioni provides us with some real grit and a decent offensive game at the SF position. He could really push Marvin (perhaps even take Marvin's job). Rudy Fernandez … meh, well, this trade makes us a little weaker at the SG position, but he is a decent (and cheap) filler player.
Anyway, so what do you all think?
(And to answer, why would Portland and Philly go for this: Expiring contracts + Philly gets a prospect.
Why might the Hawks not go for this? Well, the Hawks give up their expirings, so it kinda of freezes the Hawks' ability to make any major moves this offseason (apart from making major trades).
December 6th, 2010
4:08 pm
New lineup with above trade proposal
A. Horford/M. Camby/J. Collins
J. Smith/J. Powell
M. Williams/A. Nocioni
J. Johnson/JC2/R. Fernandez
M. Bibby/J. Teague
December 6th, 2010
4:17 pm
still looks like a team that wont get out of the 2nd and possibly even first round…..
December 6th, 2010
4:21 pm
Perhaps … it would be nice to add an upgrade at the PG position, but there is only so much that can be accomplished if one is trying to remain semi-realistic.
But the Hawks would match up better against the elites, giving the Hawks a better chance to pull off an upset … but, yeah, perhaps you are right. A slightly upgraded bench + more defensive grit may not equal better results.
December 6th, 2010
4:39 pm
true@realistic approach.
I'm just distrusting the starters more and more, besides Horford,
Bibby's been better than I expected this year, but at this point in his career it's only so much he can do against these ultra athletic PGs.
Joe's out, and even when he's at full strength he hasnt shown up when we need him the most (playoffs)
Marvin is Marvin.
Smoove is still immature and outside of HELP defense and passing, he really doesnt have a defined role. On offense, sometimes he wants to be a guard and other times he wants to be a big man, but lacks the skills to be consistently effective on O at either. no post moves, questionable ball handing and shooting (though this is improviing so that helps).
December 6th, 2010
4:41 pm
Iguodala's on the trading block according to Yahoo.
Now that we have a new backup small forward, I wonder if both sides would go for:
Jamal Crawford & Mo Evans
Andre Iguodala.
Somebody's gonna hate this.
But I don't think you'd even have to throw a draft pick in there considering both players are expiring.
December 6th, 2010
4:42 pm
Gotta to move Josh Smith if we what a REAL upgrade. Any trade involving any other player(not named Horford) will only get us about 3 or 4 more wins tops. Gotta give up something to get something. Now if a team is in rebuilding mode
(Philly comes to mind), then we might get some quality depth for Jamal and Mo's expirings. But I dont see us getting a starting quality pg or center for expirings.
December 6th, 2010
5:00 pm
Jeff Teague couldn't even beat out Bibby for the starting position. LOL! Bibby is definitely a bottom 5 starting PG in the NBA, and there are a handful of BACKUP PGs better than him (Lowry and Farmar for sure and probably Duhon).
Teague must really suck in practice.
Thankfully for him, he plays in a joke of a sports city. If he was in Philly or NYK he'd be far worse off
December 6th, 2010
5:17 pm
I thought about Iguadala, but he is a "poor man's Joe Johnson." Unless the Hawks are willing to move Joe to the starting 3 position, I am not sure how Iguadala helps the Hawks fill any holes — and even then, the overall upgrade to the Hawks lineup is minimal.
If Josh Smith is tradeable, that opens up a whole host of potentially interesting trade opportunities … but with my above trade proposal, I tried to stick with the (tired) "core" philosophy of the Hawks ownership. After all, any semi-realistic trade should be one in which the Hawks might actually be willing to pull the trigger on.
December 6th, 2010
5:20 pm
Why can't you give Bibby his props? Dude is playing WAY better than last year, and is even better on the defensive end. Leading the freakin' league in 3 pt. %.
The way he's playing so far this year, no way is he bottom 5. Last year, undoubtedly he was.
Give the man his due.
December 6th, 2010
5:21 pm
josh smith is probably team mvp this year but i'm still for moving him over Al if it means a Center or PG.
December 6th, 2010
5:37 pm
Lewis, Josh Smith and Al team co-mvp's so far. lol!
December 6th, 2010
5:37 pm
But he's still a head case after all these years. Thats what bothers me.
December 6th, 2010
6:01 pm
Sautee, I could play WAY better than Bibby played last year. lol!
December 6th, 2010

Vladimir Kazimirsky
How did you get involved in the railways?
As a child, I always dreamed of becoming a soldier. After the Polish TV series "Four Men in a Tank with a Dog" was shown, I started playing at soldiers with the other boys, and even in my dreams I saw myself in an officer's uniform.
One day, my father took me to the station, where I got really scared seeing a steam-engine and hearing its mighty hooting for the first time. But my encounter with the railway, and all my father's descriptions of what a railwayman's work involved, made me rethink my future career.
After leaving school I attended the Chernigov Technical College of Railway Transport. I was assigned to the South-Eastern Railway, as a carriage inspector.
Although we got practical training on the railway, at first we did not have enough practical skills. So the "old hands" came to our rescue, sharing their experience with us and giving us practical advice. Looking at their responsible attitude to their work, to the safety of train traffic, I, too, started developing the characteristics of a railway worker.
One of the toughest ordeals, especially at the beginning, was the night shifts. I used to tell myself: "Working on the railway is almost like being in the army—discipline is absolutely essential!"
These days I call myself an "amateur trainer", since in addition to my immediate duties I am a team-leader.
How do you find the work now?
It can be hard: 12 hours on the trot inspecting carriages and eliminating any defects is not work for the weak. We are used both to foul weather, with rain, wind, snow and ice, and to the summer heat, when the temperature can rise above 30 degrees and the air around the carriages becomes suffocating.
Of course, after many years on the job my body has readjusted. I've learned to rest before the night shift, so as to stay alert on the job and not lose a single valuable minute. After all, I carry a huge responsibility. And I have to work conscientiously whatever the weather's like. So even draughts and high-voltage overhead wires don't scare me. Work is work.
Every morning, half an hour before the shift begins, a 'flight-analysis' is conducted, when the head of the maintenance unit asks the now routine question: "Did they arrive safely?" – in other words, was the safety of train traffic assured in our sector.
Together, we analyse and grade any "failures" in both our sector and neighbouring sectors. We classify even a delay of only one or two minutes in a train's progress as an emergency incident. And even though there is less train traffic nowadays than there used to be, the work schedule is still intensive. In the course of a shift you have to inspect dozens of trains, and immediately sound the alarm if even the most insignificant defect is discovered. After all, we are responsible for people's safety, for people's confidence in the railway.
How do continue improving your skills?
Training is essential here. Our work is constantly demanding new skills. So technical classes are held every month. Once every two years there are exams. Today, for example, with the introduction of high-speed trains, new and even higher requirements have appeared. And if you miss even one or two classes you have to take an additional test.
So the 'Safety First!' slogan of the ITF international Day of Action, in which we participate every year, has a direct relevance to us carriage-inspectors, too.
Incidentally, in my work I rely not just on my knowledge but also on the years of experience I've got under my belt. Sometimes, I even "feel" a hidden defect in a carriage by pure intuition. And since I am already seen as an old hand, I am happy to share my experience with the young people.
Are there any unresolved problems that worry you?
Of course. There are 743 workers at the carriage depot, and they are all members of the Trade Union Council of Railway Workers and Transport Builders of the Ukraine.
As a member of the union, I am deeply concerned about what tomorrow will bring at the station and the carriage depot, about the working conditions here. I am concerned, for example, by the deterioration of the parts in the brake rigging, the lack of the necessary tools, the shortage of spare parts, the poor quality of the protective clothing and footwear. The trade union committee and the management are tackling these and other urgent issues at the negotiating table. It can be tough going, but we are trying to resolve the issues that are troubling the railway workers, on their behalf.
And if you don't succeed?
Then the entire trade union committee of the carriage depot will enter into an industrial dispute with the management. And since there are 15 of us on the trade union committee, we are a force to be reckoned with.
Together, we defend the rights of the union's members, fight for longer summer holidays for the carriage workers and their families, help retired workers, give financial assistance to the needy, defend the rights of those threatened by unfair dismissal, and monitor the implementation of the collective agreement.
We try to do whatever we can to make life at the depot the common concern of management and the trade union committee. That's why the next issue on our agenda is to turn one of the rooms into a canteen.
We also support youth initiatives. For example, we helped the recently formed football team to buy their kit. And we marked the 100th anniversary of our union this year with both industrial achievements and a boat trip on the Dnieper river organised by the trade union committee.
Our initiatives are always supported by the union. It was our union that secured a 38-hour working week for women repair workers, instead of the 40-hour working week that they used to have. And success, however small, is always encouraging. Even though there is still a lot of work to do, I am certain that we are up to the job of resolving the difficulties. As they say, he who knocks will be let in.

RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5) The Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office investigates burglary.
According to the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, on September 13, RPSO Detectives went to 23 Texada Road in Boyce, La., to serve an arrest warrant on Justin Grant Walters. RPSO said Walters was taken into custody without incident. While at the scene, Detectives said they noticed a 16-foot Tandem axel trailer in plain view matching the description of a trailer that was reported stolen the night before from Savannah Trace. Upon further investigation, RPSO said it was determined that it was in fact the trailer that was stolen. At that time, a search warrant for the property was obtained. According to RPSO, Detectives recovered several items during the search that were listed from the burglary the night before. Narcotics were also found.
RPSO arrested Justin Walters for the warrant and also charged him with Aggravated Burglary, Theft over $1500, three counts Possession of CDS II, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Walters was transported to the Rapides Parish Detention Center where he was booked and later released on a $66,250.00 bond. According to RPSO, this makes Walter's sixth arrest since May 2013. Detectives said the investigation is ongoing.

California State University, San Bernardino is a preeminent center of intellectual and cultural activity in Inland Southern California. Opened in 1965 and set at the foothills of the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, the university serves more than 20,000 students each year and graduates about 4,000 students annually.
The "value added" by a CSUSB education ranks in the top 4 percent in the nation, according to the Collegiate Learning Assessment, a sequence of tests that measure student learning in the freshman and then in the senior year. First-to-second year retention rates are third highest among all CSU campuses.
CSUSB reflects the dynamic diversity of the region and has the most diverse student population of any university in the Inland Empire, and it has the second highest African American and Hispanic enrollments in the CSU. Seventy percent of those who graduate are the first in their families to do so.
The university offers more than 70 traditional baccalaureate and master's degree programs, education credential and certificate programs, and a doctorate program in educational leadership. Every one of its academic programs that is eligible has earned national accreditation.
The university has seen records in enrollment, diversity of faculty and students, grand and contract funding, overhead funds, fundraising and international programs development. CSUSB ranks as the second safest among all 33 four-year public universities in California.
Cal State San Bernardino is listed among the best colleges and universities in the western United States, according to The Princeton Review, Forbes and U.S. News and World Report, in their respective annual rankings. It also is part of the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, With Distinction – the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. In addition, it is a "Military Friendly School" according to G.I. Jobs. CSUSB's College of Business and Public Administration was named by European CEO Magazine as one of the four most innovative business schools in the U.S. and among the top 18 in the world.
The university has an annual statewide economic impact of more than half a billion dollars, along with more than $32 million in yearly statewide tax revenue.
Welcome to the Inland Empire!
Located equidistant between Los Angeles and the Palm Springs area, CSUSB is conveniently situated in the region of California known as the Inland Empire. Shopping, entertainment, sports, dining and dancing are within local distance, and the campus is very close to Los Angeles, Orange County and the Southern California beaches. The area is filled with major shopping malls, shows, amusement parks and sporting events such as national motor sports races and minor league baseball and hockey. The campus is minutes from mountain and desert relaxation.
Cal State San Bernardino has implemented conservation efforts to generate much of its own electricity through renewable solar power panels and wind turbines to produce fewer greenhouse gases.
CSUSB has reduced its carbon footprint by more than 15 percent, which is equivalent to taking 14,000 cars off the road and planting 2.9 million trees. Solar panels on campus generate 1.3 megawatts of renewable sun-generated power, representing 28.8 percent of the university's power demands during peak hours of daytime energy usage.

(FOX 11) Green. Eco-friendly. Sustainable. All buzz words yes, but certainly not a passing fad.
Green is here and businesses who aren't on board are falling behind.
Take what's happening in Lancaster where come May 1st the first Chinese-owned vehicle plant on American soil will open for business, manufacturing electric buses -- buses that according to the company, BYD, can travel 150 miles on a single charge.
The irony? BYD just bought 120,000 square foot plant from Rexhall Industries in Lancaster.
Rexhall builds RV's and the economic crisis the country has been in, coupled with high gas prices, have forced it to downsize to a plant a third of the size. This while they work on a greener motorhome.
No word on how far along they are in the going green process and while Rexhall's CEO will be working with BYD, it can't be easy to see times change.
On the bright side, the city of Lancaster is thrilled to seal the deal they've been working on since 2009 with BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams.
The plant will bring jobs, business opportunities and of course, tax revenues to a city struggling with an unemployment rate of over 14%.
It's not easy being green -- but green is here to stay.

GONZALES, La. — An accounting error discovered last summer cost the Ascension Parish Court $1.173 million over seven years. But it's been corrected and a plan put into place for the court to recover the lost funds.
The error might boil down to two financial accounts that had very similar names: Parish Court Bench Warrant and Parish Government Bench Warrant Account. The name of the second one has since been changed.
"My court fund balance was dropping, and I couldn't think of a reason why," said Ascension Parish Court Judge Marilyn Lambert.
Lambert tells The Advocate at the heart of the funds in question is a $100 bench warrant fine that people pay when they miss their court date and must reschedule.
Sixty dollars of each of those fines collected go to the judicial expense fund of Parish Court.
But, at some point in 2006, the $60 collected from each fine began to go, instead, to the judicial expense fund of the 23rd Judicial District Court.
The 23rd Judicial District Court serves the three parishes of Ascension, Assumption and St. James, and handles felonies, family, juvenile and civil matters.
The solution for Parish Court to recoup the $1.173 million, which represents about $14,000 per month over the seven years the error went undetected, is that the court will stop a monthly payment of about $7,500 it had been making to the 23rd Judicial District Court to help cover the cost of a variety of items, including a portion of the pay of a receptionist who works for both courts.
"It was the most painless way to do it," Lambert said.

apple breakfast bars
I want to say it took me a full two weeks to get used to the back to school schedule, but truth is I'm not even close. I simply tolerate it, and consider the juggle associated with the school year to be one of those things in life I can't avoid (like death and taxes). After a lazy summer of no alarm clocks, the early morning routine has completely thrown off the girls' eating habits. They're simply not hungry for breakfast at 7:30am. Even their favorites, like pancakes and waffles, have been met with a lukewarm reception. The pep talks about needing their energy, and how it's not good to go to school on an empty stomach weren't cutting it either. Continue reading »

THE NATIONAL Rifle Association deliberated for an entire week after the Newtown tragedy, and their best response is a call for an armed guard in every public school ("The NRA's extremist fantasy," Editorial, Dec. 22).
If one extends this knee-jerk response to every shooting, then the NRA no doubt would be happy with armed police officers in every theater, shopping mall, etc. The long-term logical consequence of this argument is armed guards in every public space, just in case.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Christian Jurlina poured in a career-high 29 points off of the bench to lead Whitworth to an 87-58 win over visiting Willamette on Friday night in the Whitworth Fieldhouse.
The Pirates improve to 14-4 overall and 8-1 in the Northwest Conference and remain a game ahead of Whitman in the league standings. The Bearcats fell to 3-15, 1-8.
Jurlina scored 20 of his 29 points in the opening half, when Whitworth needed them the most. The teams traded leads three times after Willamette jumped to an early 6-0 advantage. The Pirates scored 11 in a row to go up 11-6, but the Bearcats responded with their own 10-2 run and led 16-13 on a jumper by Alex Brown. Willamette still led 20-17 when Whitworth closed the first half by outscoring the Bearcats 19-8. Jurlina had 13 of those final 19 points, including a pair of three-pointers.
"Christian really showed his full arsenal of offensive skills tonight," said Whitworth head coach Matt Logie. "And the rest of the guys did a great job getting him the ball in spots where he could be effective."
Brown hit a short jumper to open the second half and pull the Bearcats within 36-30. It was as close as they would get. The Pirates scored seven straight, sparked by a Robby Douglas three-pointer, to open a 13-point advantage and never looked back. Whitworth forced 11 of Willamette's 19 turnovers in the second half and finished the game with a 30-8 advantage in points off of turnovers.
Leading 49-35 with 15 minutes to play, Whitworth put the game out of reach with a 16-0 run over the next six minutes. By the time Kionte Brown hit a jumper and followed it up with two free throws, Whitworth's lead had grown to 65-35. Austin Wood's basket with 4:30 to play gave Whitworth its largest lead of the game (85-45).
"Good teams figure out what the opponents are trying to exploit and adjust to that," Logie said. "Our guys buckled down in the second half and did a better job defending the paint and forcing turnovers."
Jurlina and Brown were the only Pirates in double figures tonight as all 16 players saw at least four minutes on the floor. Jurlina's 29 points is a season-high for Whitworth, surpassing the 24 points Kenny Love had against SUNY-Old Westbury in November. Brown's total was also a career high for the freshman. Love led Whitworth with five boards as the Pirates outrebounded the Bearcats 37-25.
Brown did his best for Willamette, scoring 21 points. He was the only Bearcat player in double figures. Brandon Luedtke added a game-high nine rebounds.
The Bucs have now won the last 12 meetings against Willamette.
Whitworth will host Pacific University (11-7, 4-5 NWC) on Saturday night at 6:00 pm. Willamette travels to take on Whitman on Saturday.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- An appeals court has upheld the conviction of a former security chief convicted of lying to investigators after the 2010 explosion that killed 29 miners at West Virginia's Upper Big Branch mine.
Hughie Elbert Stover claimed there was no evidence he knowingly lied when he told investigators that miners weren't alerted whenever inspectors arrived. He also was convicted of ordering a subordinate to destroy documents.
A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday there was substantial evidence to support Stover's conviction.
A former mine superintendent also charged in the nation's worst mine disaster in four decades will be sentenced next year.
A former president of a different Massey Energy mine is cooperating in the UBB probe and will enter a plea to conspiracy charges in January.
Statement from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin
"This case is an important victory for the safety of miners, so today's decision is a welcome one," said U.S. Attorney Goodwin. "Investigations of mine disasters serve a critical role in making mines safer. To obstruct one of those investigations, especially one involving a tragedy like that at Upper Big Branch, is reprehensible."
"The evidence against Mr. Stover was overwhelming," Goodwin continued, "so I am not surprised that his conviction was upheld in all respects. This case should be a powerful warning to anyone tempted to interfere with a mine safety inquiry."
Stover's conviction was affirmed unanimously by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. "In sum," the panel said, "we affirm the district court's judgment in its entirety."
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Hughie Elbert Stover's case Friday. The court usually takes several weeks to issue a ruling.
Stover supervised security guards at the Upper Big Branch mine. A jury found that he lied to investigators about whether miners were warned whenever inspectors arrived at the mine. Stover's lawyer argued that there was no evidence that Stover knowingly gave a false statement.
Judge Andre Davis said there was "tons of circumstantial evidence." And Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III stressed the importance of unannounced inspections.
The prosecutor filed his response to Hughie Elbert Stover's appeal Thursday in the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va. Goodwin says there's no merit to claims that Judge Irene Berger erred in refusing to throw out Stover's interview with investigators or refusing to dismiss the charges and acquit him.
Stover was convicted last fall of lying to investigators and ordering a subordinate to destroy documents following the worst U.S. coal mine disaster in four decades.
The 2010 explosion at the West Virginia mine killed 29 men.
Stover was sentenced to three years. He's free pending appeal.
Hughie Elbert Stover filed his appeal Monday with the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.
Stover says it's not based on the weight of the government's evidence but a total lack of evidence.
He was convicted last fall of lying to investigators and ordering a subordinate to destroy documents after the disaster.
But attorney William Wilmoth says there's no proof that Stover lied or that he ever intended to impede the government's investigation. He also says that prosecutors falsely portrayed the evidence they had.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin has said that Stover was convicted fairly, in every respect.
An attorney for Hughie Elbert Stover says he's taking the case to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.
A filing in U.S. District Court in Beckley says Judge Irene Berger wrongly denied a request for certain instructions to the jury, as well as Stover's request for a new trial. That motion also alleged prosecutorial misconduct.
Stover was convicted in October of ordering a subordinate to destroy security-related documents following the worst U.S. coal mine disaster in four decades.
He was sentenced to three years in prison Feb. 29. It's one of the stiffest punishments ever issued in a mine safety case.
U.S. District Judge Irene Berger sentenced Hughie Stover on Wednesday in Beckley.
Stover was convicted of lying to investigators and ordering a subordinate to destroy thousands of documents after the 2010 disaster that killed 29 men in southern West Virginia.
During the hearing, Stover was sentenced to three years in prison. Once he is released, he will spend two years on supervised release and pay a $20,000 fine.
"Today's sentence sends a clear message that when a person obstructs an investigation—especially an investigation as critical as UBB – there will be consequences," U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said.
Stover faced up to 25 years in prison.
Stover was the chief of security at UBB and at least two other then-Massey operations when the April 5, 2010, explosion claimed the lives of the 29 miners and injured two others.
According to information from Goodwin's office, a jury found that Stover made materially false statements to an FBI Special Agent and a Special Investigator for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). These federal agents were investigating allegations that security guards at UBB routinely notified mine personnel when MHSA inspectors arrived at the mine.
Stover falsely denied that such a practice existed and falsely told the agents that he would have fired any security guard who provided such advance notice.
In addition, Stover himself instructed UBB security guards to notify mine personnel whenever MSHA inspectors arrived at the mine. Stover also caused a person known to the grand jury to dispose of thousands of pages of security-related documents stored in a Massey building near the UBB mine, with the intent to impede the federal investigation.
Also at sentencing, the Court ordered the defendant to serve two years supervised release and pay a $20,000 fine.
Stover was not immediately taken to jail. He will turn himself in to serve his sentence.
U.S. District Judge Irene Berger ruled on the request Monday in Beckley.
Hughie Elbert Stover's sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
Stover was convicted of lying to investigators and ordering a subordinate to destroy thousands of documents after the 2010 disaster that killed 29 men in southern West Virginia.
Stover's attorney says his client deserves no jail time.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin plans to call witnesses Wednesday including Mine Safety and Health Administration coal administrator Kevin Stricklin, along with others who will testify about Stover's Army background and as a police officer.

Cat Care Society operates a limited admission cage-free shelter for homeless and abused cats while providing community outreach programs to enrich the lives of people and cats. Cat Care Society is 100% funded by private donations, from people just like you.

A good safety rule is to always return things to their proper places after use. This means a cupboard, drawer,
or some secure place that is not accessible to your cat.
An unsupervised outdoor cat faces a whole new set of potentially dangerous situations. Many of these "free roaming cats" must be treated for injuries, diseases, and parasites.
Responsible pet ownership includes awareness of inside and outside danger, AND taking measures to protect your cat from them. Life indoors can be satisfying for cats that are provided with window shelves for sunbathing and surveying the outdoors; your loving attention and, if possible, a companion cat. If you do allow your cat outside, supervision is a must. Some cats can be trained to walk on a leash and harness, or you can provide your cat with a safe outdoor enclosure like the "habicats" at Cat Care Society.
An identification tag and a break-away collar are a must for ALL cats. The expandable portion of a break-away collar enables your cat to free himself should the collar become caught. AND, please ask your veterinarian about flea collars - some are toxic to cats. Also talk to your veterinarian about a microchip for your cat -- another way to ensure your cat gets returned to you should he become lost.
Indoors or out, you are responsible for your cat's safety. Cats ask for very little: a warm bed, food and water, and loving attention from their owners. Keeping your cat in a safe environment is one way to return the companionship and unconditional, unquestioning love he so willingly gives to you!

How do you know if all your exercise is paying off? You may see results in the long run, but it can be difficult to see short term progress. Are you doing the right things this week to see the results you want in a month from now?
One of the new features of iFit is the ability to calculate and score your fitness level. iFit quantifies your active lifestyle for you with the all new Fit Score. Your Fit Score, displayed on your dashboard, rates your fitness level on a scale from 0 to 100.
Your score is a representation of your fitness level based on the past 7 days–giving you a weekly score of your activities. The Fit Score calculated by a combination of your workout frequency, calories burned, net calories, workout time, and your goals.
How often do you workout every week? The frequency of your workouts play an important role in your overall fitness. To make sure that you are on track, iFit measures and scores your weekly workout frequency. Your workout frequency score accounts for 25% of your total Fit Score.
Hint: Log at least three workouts every 7 days to max out your score for workout frequency.
You're not working hard enough if you are not burning calories. Calorie burning workouts help you lose or maintain your weight. Your calories burned account for 25% of your total Fit Score.
Hint: Burn at least 600 calories per week to receive top marks for calories burned.
In order for you to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume. The total number of calories you consume minus the total number of calories you burn each day equals your net calories. Your net calories account for 25% of your total Fit Score.
Hint: The lower your net calories the higher your score will reach.
You have to put in the time to get the results you want. The total time you put in during workouts is applied to your workout time score. Your workout time account for 25% of your total Fit Score.
Hint: Workout 90 minutes or more a week to receive a top score for your workout time.
Set goals that push you during every workout. Your progress towards reaching your goals is displayed on your dashboard. Your goals account for 25% of your total Fit Score.
Hint: Stay on track with your goals to max out your score for goals.
We recommend that you maintain a Fit Score above 75. A score at this level or above means you are doing the right things today that bring the future results you want. Keep pushing each week as we provide you insight into your progress.

Research Profile
Ms Pip (Victoria) Hardy
- BA (Hons) in English Literature – University of Durham
- MSc in Lifelong Learning – University of Ulster
- Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling – University of Cambridge
- Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinical Microsystems Fall Invitational Film Festival: Paul Batalden award for the People's Choice
- Creating an Inter Professional Workforce: John Horder award for Innovation
- BMJ Group Award for Excellence in Healthcare Education (2010) and finalist for Healthcare Communicator of the Year - www.bmjgroupawards.com
Research Interests
As part of my masters in Lifelong Learning, I conducted research into the impact of the digital stories in healthcare education. I developed a model for transformation in healthcare and healthcare education using the Patient Voices digital stories and I would like to extend this research to find out more about the effects of the digital storytelling process and the digital stories on the people who create them as well as the people who watch and study them.
The possibilities for research seem almost endless and the precise focus is not yet clear to me. I am fascinated by the transformation I see in storytellers and would like to investigate how this happens, but I am also keen to find out whether the people who watch the stories are sufficiently moved by them to make sustainable changes in their own practice. And of course, the possibilities afforded by digital storytelling as a first person research methodology are also intriguing.
I am excited by the possibilities offered by SOCSI to deepen my knowledge in education, health and social care, community development, digital technologies, first person research methodologies, and mindfulness; I'm keen to learn more about qualitative research methods in general and psycho social methods in particular and to draw on all these paradigms, and more, to investigate the effects and potential applications of a digital storytelling methodology informed by mindfulness.
So, in short, my research interests are:
- the transformative potential of digital storytelling and digital stories
- the impact of the digital storytelling process as well as the digital stories themselves
- the links between mindfulness and digital storytelling
- the development of a first-person research methodology based on digital storytelling
PhD Topic/ Area
Mindfulness-informed digital storytelling in health and social care - a qualitative study

Just before a colleague retired, I asked him if he could tell me how medicine had changed during his long career. He could, he said. In one word: time.
"Back in the '60s and '70s," he said, "I spent at least an hour with a patient who came in for an annual physical and half an hour for a follow-up or an urgent call." That's twice as long as I'm allotted — and my practice is more generous than most.

Our City already has award-winning, pro-environmental policies ranging from recycling to environmental management. Over the next several years, we will redouble and consolidate current efforts and launch new green initiatives that our City Council, citizens, and employees have come to expect.
Ensuring that our City operates in a way that is both economically and environmentally sustainable is of the utmost importance to the future of our community. For this reason, sustainability has been identified as one of City Council's Strategic Priorities and is the focus of many initiatives throughout the City.
If you'd like to learn more about sustainability, Newport News TV produced a video that covers environmental sustainability, which is one of the Strategic Priorities. You can also read the Roadmap to Sustainability, the City's Sustainability Plan.
You can also support NNGreen by voting online (takingroot.troybilt.com) for our School Green Space Project in the Taking Root Grant Competition from Troy-Bilt and Keep America Beautiful. To learn more read about the School Green Space Project on our Projects & Programs page.
Roadmap to Sustainability…
Who We Are
NNGreen is a public awareness campaign aimed at engaging the community, promoting successes, and inspiring simple green practices citizens can do at home, work, or play to make Newport News a sustainable community.
NNGreen was created by the City's Sustainability Team, an interdepartmental team of City employees charged with supporting City Council's strategic goal of being an environmentally sustainable local government. The Team works to maximize the benefits of our sustainability initiatives and build a foundation for long-term environmental stewardship by creating meaningful partnerships among employees, residents and community stakeholders.

What We Do
Sustainability, in the Newport News context, is an ongoing effort to save energy, prevent pollution, and take all of the practical actions we can to make our City operations and our community a place that is viable for future generations. Remember the bumper sticker Think Globally, Act Locally? That is a good way to think about it.
A major aspect of the Sustainability Team's work will be advising the right mix of investments in energy-saving buildings, vehicles, and operational changes that focus on short, medium, and long-term actions the City can take to advance sustainability.

Anybody in the Houston / South East Texas area?
Lots of gay guys in H-town. Moved here from Chicago several decades ago, hated it at first, but Houston grew on me. 80 today here and freezing in Chicago! No better place to be an entrepreneur and contrary to stereotypes, is gay friendly and now has a gay mayor. I was fired TWICE while working in California over six years after being outed by colleagues (who then got my jobs) and had to move back to Houston to be OUT and free again. So much for librul California.
Houston in the house.
i'll be in houston for the final four basketball tournament.

Beautiful day in Houston today!!! Time for a run in Memorial Park.

One characteristic of Santa Fe that makes it stand out among other cities is the same thing that doesn't stand out: its architectural style. The distinctive low-profile adobe buildings are made of earth and sun-dried straw. They come in a variety of soft earthen tones and have flat roofs and soft rounded corners making them blend in to the gentle slopes of the mountains surrounding the city.
From Albuquerque, we did a day trip into Santa Fe to explore the city and to meet up with fellow photographer Jackson Frishman, who was kind enough to treat us to a great lunch at The Shed, a well known local restaurant, and show us around town. Thanks Jackson!
While the architectural style was once simply a shared aesthetic, it is now required by law that new buildings and any renovations adhere to this specific style making the new appear old.
Please click the images to view larger versions.
It was a white-sky day during our visit so I excluded the sky from many of my images and filled the frame with detailed elements of the buildings.
For the next image, I combined three exposures to maintain some detail and colour in the sky.
Santa Fe also has a vibrant arts community which is revealed in the local shops which have a multitude of authentic local paintings, sculptures, pottery, and masks as well as unique clothing, jewelry, shoes, and more.
You really captured the spirit of Santa Fe here Anne. I love the adobe architecture of northern New Mexico – so photogenic. Don't know if you got a chance to visit Taos, but that is one of my favorite spots in the state.
Russ Bishop recently posted..A Measure of Wealth
Gorgeous images Anne!
Laurie MacBride recently posted..Return of the Swallows
Great shots Anne, We are heading out there in September and I cant wait. Living in Delaware we dont see anything like that and it will be a real experience.
These are amazing…its almost like a movie set! Beautiful…

That third image is quite extraordinary, Anne. Almost symmetrical at first glance and then you start to spot the subtle differences. You've chosen what must be the perfect POV. What a remarkable find

Not only are these terrific images (especially the third one), they are inspiring me for my upcoming trip there (10 days to Santa Fe).

Santa Fe is so on my travel list. I love the architectural details use brought out in these images.
Edith Levy recently posted..Purple Petals
Really nice Anne! I'm pretty jaded to adobe architecture and Santa Fe style, of course, but I still find these gorgeous. I really like the first with the juxtaposition of the rectilinear building with the organic vine, and the symmetry you captured in the third is really cool, I've never seen that building in that way. It was a real pleasure to have meet you and share lunch!
Jackson Frishman recently posted..Wild Rivers
Hi Anne, hope you are very well…
Santa Fe was one of my favorite places in the States, it had a real old timely feel and was nice and relaxed. I loved the arty sense of the place and felt really at home here. In fact I could see myself actually living here quite easily I liked it so much!
Take care,

Proud shipyard workers bid farewell Friday to the newest Coast Guard cutter constructed at Ingalls Shipbuilding.
NSC Stratton is the third of eight such vessels being built in Pascagoula for the U.S. Coast Guard. The new class is the largest and most technologically advanced group in Coast Guard history.
The construction of NSC Stratton involved the talents of nearly a thousand shipyard workers.
"This ship has tremendous capability. In fact, with the exception of ice breaking, she's able to accomplish every Coast Guard mission that exists out there. And if you think about the missions the Coast Guard has to conduct, that's rather impressive," said Program Manager Derek Murphy.
NSC Stratton is 418 feet long, can reach a top speed of 28 knots and carries a crew of 110.
Along with its impressive equipment and capabilities, a large measure of pride and patriotism also went into its construction.
"When you know you can go home and sleep good at night knowing that you put all you can into one of these vessels, and you've got a lot of pride and dedication here, it makes you feel good when she leaves the pier," said Construction Manager Royce Winbush.
First Lady Michelle Obama christened the ship last year, the first time in U.S. history a first lady has sponsored a Coast Guard cutter.
The ship is named for Capt. Dorothy Stratton, who led the Coast Guard women's reserve during World War II.
As tugboats maneuver to help guide Stratton down the channel, shipyard workers loosen the lines, enabling the ship to float free.
Workers who spent years building the cutter, prepared to bid it farewell.
"Just a tremendous amount of pride for me personally to be able to help deliver an asset to our Coast Guard that's going to continue executing these missions into the foreseeable future," said Coast Guard Program Manager Mike Duthu.
Stratton is headed for a stop in Baltimore. It will eventually be stationed at Alameda, California.
