|Excerpts from Daniel's dream journal, written the year before his death. Translated by Eduardo Costa.
Oct. 23, 1988
I dream of PD at a Coffee Shop, almost empty. Alex K. comes in. Hi!, how are you, etc. Of course the theme is AIDS and Marcelo B [dead} shows up. I kiss him lightly and say "You are back". Mario [dead] is also there, at a large table with Marcelo sitting at my side on a small rattan chair. He smiles. I look at my lesions and I do have a lot on my legs. One is horrible, has the tip of a tongue sticking out and is surrounded by small pimples.
Oct 24, 1988
I return to Barcelona and I rent a room with Fahrni or Marcelo, Colores, Dan Haskett, with many rooms, low ceilings. In the front rooms there is a huge wall, as large as a mountain, 15 flights tall and 3 blocks wide, covered in yellow stucco; far away at the top we can see a few little houses and a very starry blue sky, clean (and we into this hole). Resignation. On the rooftop I am with Marcelo and on the other side we see a cloudy sky, at daytime, little houses, an entrance to a Park. I tell him "Look at the nice people, these guys..." He smiles, I see some worn out old ladies, two of them are together and they have a dog or a friend like hers walking on its four, short legs like those of a with hands and shoes.
Oct 29, 1988
I see NYC but I believe I am in Barcelona, since I remember the Trou des Halles. That is I see a brilliant green light getting closer. It is at night, we are sitting outside, I am a kid and I sit even further away from the house. I see a small swordfish made of metal that gets closer to us. It is Evil, in the eyes a green light shines. They are scared, the fish bites me on the cheek, I catch it and it turns out to be a plastic fish like a silvery balloon. I have a pet-rat or cat, unintentionally I hurt it, I want to take a photo, years later, of the blond woman with a monkey dressed as a baby in Diane Arbus' book. The first time I see her, her face does not show, I suppose she does not want to show that she has grown older, I see only her blonde hair but she finally shows her face. I do not perceive the monkey but I am afraid that my pet-rat will scare him or be scared, I try to hold him by the neck and I hurt him, then he bites my hand. He leaves, upset. I see him as beautiful and hurt (he is now a cat). I return to the ship-frigate-laboratory-palace and am afraid of Evil, I think as I walk along ruined corridors and I fear to be locked in a small space. I pass by a physician and a nurse and I see scattered a number of objects... there is a a rusted chain that shines in the dark with strong yellow color, fluorescent though not lemon.
Dec 27, 1988
I am like a receptor, all is magnetic waves, I see and feel every molecule, I see a floor of little white stones, I travel high speed at about a foot from the floor seeing the cosmic order of the little stones. and I see very neatly the electricity around the stones, until I reach two grey stones a little bigger which have more circuits around them, some in the shape of greek borders, colored a very dark blue.
Dec 29, 1988
I am working at Disney on a holiday and the only two people who have shown up are Walt Disney and myself. I ask him if it is true that he used to smoke two packs of "Caporal" cigarettes a day and he says "Yes, that Spanish tobacco". We go out and as we wait for the elevator to come I ask him what he thought about Max Fleischer. Nothing. He saw him as an old man. He tells me an anecdote that I cannot remember.
Jan 2, 1989
Two British twins who live in a coastal town or in NYC make this sign, "last but not last", and they glue it in the streets. It is a B&W photo (retouched with airbrush) of an American suburban home whose garden is a map of the world which is a puzzle from which the figure of the twins comes out, cut like puzzle pieces.
May 2, 1989
I see a doctor without a head. When he puts his head on I see that his right hand - which he offers to me - is as small as a baby's. There are two more doctors, but I see only a third one, who is also crippled. We are in a dark corridor, with a high ceiling, almost no light, the headless doctor becomes very good looking, heavy set, as he puts his head on. Before or after I am walking along the coastal avenue in Mar del Plata or a highway in Madrid, holding my cat like a baby, and we chat. Will we be always together? Yes. I do not know how to explain death to him. A bus stops next to us and a woman, sitting on the front seat, flaunts a red Honeywell Bull logo, and asks me how to get there...
Translation c.Eduardo Costa, 1991

Bumblebee populations continue to decline
Published on Wed, Jun 26, 2013 by
Kelle Rankin Sunter
Read More
Bee lovers everywhere celebrated around the country as National Pollinator Week (June 17 – 23) was highlighted with educational events. However, during this same week, in an almost paradoxical twist of fate, more than 50,000 bumblebees were found dead and dying in a Target parking lot in Wilsonville, Oregon thought to be due to use of the pesticide dinotefuran, sold under the trade name Safari.
The label clearly states that the pesticide should not be used while plants are flowering to prevent harm to pollinators, but the
incident highlights the casual attitude that both consumers and the government have regarding pesticide use.
Pollinators include a large spectrum – birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals and most importantly, honeybees. They are required for the pollination of nearly a third of food we eat and the estimated global value of crops pollinated by bees is nearly $217 billion.
Over the past decade we have seen troubling declines in the populations of these valuable workers with both commercial honeybees and native pollinators.
Commercial beekeepers have been reporting population declines in their hives of 30 to 40 percent annually. The extent of damage to native pollinators is unknown; however, estimates for some species are as high as 90 percent mortality. Most of Europe has recently banned the highly touted "safe" insecticides, known as neonicotinoids, which were introduced in the early 1990s, because of research indicating that they are the primary reason for honeybee population declines.
"National Pollinator Week is a time to raise awareness about the importance of bees, birds and other pollinator species to agriculture, forest and grassland environments and other ecosystems," said agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack.
"I encourage all Americans to learn about the important work that is being done to conserve, protect and restore their habitats, and more importantly, to join in and help take steps to support healthy pollinator populations – many that can be done in your own backyard."
Learning more about pollinators and how to protect them is as essential as the food provided to us through their hard work. Clearly, we are dependent on the "unseen 99 percent" of life on our planet – the insects. Instead of trying to kill them, we should be learning how to live together successfully. Applying healthy gardening principles in your own backyard is a start. Follow up by encouraging your legislators to support more research into pollinator declines.
Blaine CORE has been offering classes in raising backyard orchards and mason bees for four years. Please visit our website at nwCORE.org/pollinators to find printed materials and resources, or attend one of the presentations at the Birch Bay State Park on July 12 (Mason Bees 101) or August 18 (Backyard Habitat for Pollinators), provided free to the public by Friends of Birch Bay State Park,

The Hamar region is the ideal location for anyone looking for an active holiday. Here you will find everything from bicycle rides, boating and fishing to dog sledding and painting classes. A range of activities are available - both indoors and outdoors.
A Sunday trip along Mjøsa or in the hilly mountain terrain? The Hamar region has bicycle routes suitable for all. Family bike ridesThe best area for bicycle rides with children is along the beautiful Mjøsa, outside Hamar town center, where you have wide choice of excellent picnic, swimming and fishing spots. Or why not try the mountain farm area at Sjusjøen, where you can spend the night in a tree-top cabin eight metres above ground?
Cross-country biking In the gentle, rolling terrain along Mjøsa, it is not the climbs that will take your breath away - it is the scenery! Take in the spectacular views, stay the night at a manor farm, savour a tasty meal at a farm café and enjoy a host of cultural experiences along the way. Mountain BikingSjusjøen can offer a vast network of mountain roads and farm tracks with well marked and signposted routes for every skill level. Please contact Hamar Region Tourist office for information about bicycle hire, route descriptions or guided bicycle tours.
MjøstråkkMjøstråkk is a 155-mile long cycling route around Lake Mjøsa - Norway's largest inland lake. On the banks of Lake Mjøsa you will find the three towns Hamar, Lillehammer and Gjøvik, as well a number of villages such as Eidsvoll, Stange, Brummunddal and Lena.
The cycling route is well-signposted and the roads are a combination of gravel and asphalt. There are a number of attractions and sights around Lake Mjøsa and these are marked and described on a map available at the tourist offices.
When exploring Lake Mjøsa and its surroundings on bike, you will see the beautiful lake, rolling farmland and lush green hills, at close range.
The world's oldest paddle steamer, DS Skibladner carries some 20,000 passengers every summer across Lake Mjøsa. Cyclists are welcome to bring bikes onboard. Skibladner calls at the following places:
Hamar - Eidsvoll, return to Hamar with DS Skibladner
The cycling route from Hamar follows the signposted Mjøstråkk (se description above). From Hamar station, follow rv. 22 southwards along the bicycle paths of Stange Bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, turn right at Sandvika cycling path along Åkersvika Nature Reserve. After a few hills you reach the rolling countryside of Stange and the beautiful coastline of Lake Mjøsa. You will pass Atlungstad Golf and Atlungstad Distillery from 1856 and one of the four destilleris which still is operating in Norway. You will pass large stately farms that lie side by side.
The area has a rich cultural heritage. Would you like to go for a swim, turn off towards Gillund Beach just before passing Stange Church. Further, follow the roads built over the fields towards Såstad and forth past Store Re. Arriving in Askum turn left towards Austad, and then downward to rv. 222, follow this south towards Tangen Church. Feel free to turn off to Tangenodden Camping where there is a kiosk, beach and camping cabins.
From Tangen follow rv. 222 over the railroad tracks before you turn right towards Espa. At Espa you may take a rest at Espa Service which lies on the other side of the main road E6. The gas station is widely known for its "boller" (sweet buns).
Next stop is Strandlykkja, where there is a large monument from World War II. Soon after passing Morskogen, you have to follow the E6 for a few kilometres. There is a path for cyclists. At the exit toward Langset, you head towards Minnesund. Minnesund lies in the expiration of Lake Mjøsa to the river Vorma. Three bridges cross the end.
The cycle route now follows rv. 177 east of river Vorma through farmland. Turn off towards Sunde; the administrative center of Eidsvoll. At the Skibladner quay, lies Eidsvoll Gamle Stasjon, the station that was the end of the line for Norway's first railway line.
Vestmarka Forest in StangeMarked hiking and cross-country ski trails and open forest cabins. Hekne, Åsvang and Lauvlisetra are good starting points for skiing tours.
HedemarksviddaA place for peace and quiet and easy hikes. There are many animals and plants; you may see predators - bear, lynx, wolf and wolverine, and there are reindeer in the northern areas.
The paths are clearly marked and all signs are in blue. Toll road.
Mosjømarka Forest in LøtenOffers idyllic pine forests and glimmering woodland lakes. Access is easy from the centre of Løten and Myklegard from the road between Hamar and Elverum.
There are nice round trips on blue-marked trails that start from and finish at Budor, Gåsbu or Vollkoia. A three-kilometre long path is wheelchair accessible during summer.
Gåsbu is a good place to start your cross-country skiing trip. Includes a 1.8-mile freestyle trail and a 25-mile freestyle trail.
Buy a trail map at Gåsbu or at the tourist information office.
OttestadstienThe Ottestad Path (9.3 miles) runs through a cultural landscape with farms on every side. At Atlungstad Farm you pass through the new golf course.
The Pilgrims' Route to TrondheimThe old Pilgrims' Route between Oslo and Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim was reopened the summer of 1997. The path is waymarked with a special logo. The Pilgrim's Path passes through the Hamar Region between Oslo and Trondheim.

OK, I messed up. I said I would ask Rick Sund about David Andersen, the Australian center who plays for FC Barcelona in Spain and whose NBA rights the Atlanta Hawks continue to hold, and I flat-out forgot. What can I say? We got to gabbing.
The Hawks' general manager and I talked Wednesday for an hour and 45 minutes, and here, as promised, is a (slightly) truncated version of that extended audience. And you'll be disappointed because Sund doesn't volunteer any names of free agents he'd like to sign or details of any trade he'd like to make, but you're going to have to deal with it. No GM ever talks about such things, at least not on the record, and Sund is more cautious than most.
But he is a winning conversationalist, and I think you'll find some edification herein. And for all those who submitted questions I wound up using, you have my sincere thanks. For all those whose questions I didn't pose, you have the same sincere thanks and my heartiest apologies. But I hope this little exercise enables you to feel, in some way, that you were part of this experimental process.
(And one final note: I just sent Sund an e-mail asking about David Andersen.)
MB: If you had to prioritize the offseason with your free agents, who would be the No. 1 target?
RS: We haven't even put closure to the season. We put closure to it with the players last week, but the coaches have been off – they come back today. We'll have meetings tomorrow and Friday, and then we'll start doing the report cards on all the players. We'll start doing analysis. I have a lot of exercises for our entire basketball staff to go through. And then we'll look at that and start to prioritize.
MB: I guess what I'm asking is, Is Mike Bibby a greater priority than Marvin Williams?
RS: I don't know. Is Flip [Murray] a greater priority? Is Zaza [Paculia]? We've got to sit down and talk about all of those, and then this year, unlike last year, we've got some key free agents at play – four of the players in our rotation are free agents, three of them unrestricted. And then you've got the [Josh] Childress chip. We're not privy to his contract, but what I heard from his people when he left was that he has an out provision each year he can exercise. So does he want to come back, and where does he fit in? And then you throw in the draft pick and trade possibilities …
The one thing we have is a lot of moving parts, but they are moving. And you've got to juggle them with the other options that are available. And most of those moving parts can't be dealt with until free agency starts in July.
MB: Are you confident you'll have the financial wherewithal to get done what you need to do this offseason?
RS: Yeah, I am.
MB: A theoretical question. If money and free agency were not issues, would you be happy with the makeup of this team?
RS: Yeah, I like our club. The only reason I say that is there's still growth from within. I think [Al] Horford's going to continue to get better; I think Marvin's going to continue to get better. I think Josh [Smith] is going to continue to get better – every year he's gotten better … I think you still need to tweak it if you can.
MB: You said the season was an evaluation period for you. From what you saw, do you think this team and Mike Woodson fit together well?
RS: From what I saw, this team surprised me. I was not totally impressed with the team made the playoffs last season with 37 wins. I was encouraged by two things: One, their home record of 25 wins, and two, their performance in the playoffs. So this year I said I would like for this team to have a winning record and make the playoffs. Not necessarily in that order. I'd have taken making the playoffs without a winning record.
In my mind I thought, having not known this club, we would probably be fighting for the seventh or eighth spot and hopefully be above .500 for the first time in basically a five-year program. I was surprised and impressed. A playoff-caliber club has to be able to win your 25 games at home and win between 14 and 17 games on the road. That's playoff-caliber. They won 12 the year before, which is why they were at 37 wins and not 40 or 41. Not only did they maintain that 25 [this season], they went to 31. Elite teams in this league get 30-plus wins at home and 20 wins on the road. Now we're not elite on the road – we're playoff-caliber. We had 16, right in the middle. The reason we got the fourth seed was that we were an elite team at home.
That impressed me. And I hated it when it happened, but in retrospect it turned out to be good that we lost at home in the playoffs because we had to win one on the road – and we did. The fourth and fifth seeds are always the toughest [series] because they're usually pretty good home teams, and we had to win one on the road with our backs against the wall. And even better was that we got that seventh game at home, and that was a decisive win.
Let's talk a little about [Round 2 against] Cleveland. One of my biggest disappointments was, with our team being hurt – three starters who obviously would have played tons of minutes if they'd have been healthy – we didn't get the true barometer read with Cleveland. But there was some disappointment in our players, and that's good. That's the mark of a good team.
The four teams in the [conference semifinals], we beat them. That's why we're a playoff-caliber club. But we didn't dominate them. We split with L.A., we split with Denver. You asked me if we'd be happy with this club going forward … I don't know if I answered your question, but that's the logic going into it.
MB: You had never worked with Woodson on a close basis before. Were you satisfied with what you saw?
RS: Yeah. We're in a results business. A couple of things should be reviewed. Last year, when I came in – hired June 1 — I got a lot of e-mails on what to do on everything. From players and coaches, trades, staffing, the whole thing. I got a lot of help and suggestions. I said at that time I'm going to spend two weeks and take in as much information as I could, and my recommendation was to keep Mike. And I think he did a good job this year.
MB: This was a big thing with our readers. They see other teams having offensive coordinators or defensive coordinators. Would you be interested in that?
RS: I've never really thought about that. You don't see it very often. It's up to the coach. It's really a question for you to ask Mike … It's not my call.
MB: I know what you said last year about Al Horford being a center. Do you still feel that way, and do you feel like your team is big enough, given that you were outrebounded on the season?
RS: Yeah, I do.
MB: Do you still see upside for Josh?
RS: Yeah. Yeah, I do. Every year he's gotten better, and I thought he played reasonably well in the playoffs.
MB: Understanding that you're still in your evaluation process, what do you see as a greater need – more size up front or backcourt help?
RS: I don't know. I'd have to look at it and talk to my staff a little more. I like Zaza. I think Zaza and Horford did a really good job at the center position. We weren't beat at the center position very often this year.
MB: Do you talk to Childress?
RS: He's playing right now in Greece … When their season is over, they're going to inform us. Evidently he can opt out of his contract. If he opts out, we'd have to tender him a [one-year] qualifying offer. Otherwise he'd be an unrestricted free agent.
MB: So you've had no contact with him during the year?
RS: We've had scouts go over and watch him. [Assistant GM] Dave Pendergraph has texted him. And I've talked to his agents – they represent other players.
MB: And what was your read on Childress?
RS: They played it pretty close to the vest.
MB: This is another issue with our readers. Kenny Smith apparently said on TNT that the Hawks lack an identity. Do you feel your team has an identity?
RS: I don't pay attention to that. When I watch a game, I turn the sound down so I can draw my own conclusions. I think our identity is that we have the ability – and I think I said this to you last year – to do both [meaning fast-break and play halfcourt ball]. If the game and the tempo and the referees dictated an up-tempo game, we played it – and played it well. Like the first [playoff] game with Miami. But if it was going to be a slowdown type of game – like with Detroit – we won three games against them. I think the good teams have the ability to do both. I think sometimes people see Josh Smith's athleticism and they think we have to be just a running team. Well, we're not.
MB: Would you like to see the offense go a little less through Joe?
RS: That's not for me to say. I don't tell the coaches how to coach. I want the results, however the results may be.
MB: There was some comment after the Cleveland series that you'd go as far as you can with Joe Johnson. Do you believe that?
RS: I don't think you can draw any conclusions from anything from the Cleveland series. They're obviously the best team in the league over 82 games, and we were too injured. Couldn't draw conclusions from it.
MB: Did Joe's struggles, even against Miami, make you think he has gone as far as he can go – that this is what he is?
RS: I'm not going to throw anything on one playoff series. Joe had some big assist nights in there. I thought Joe, particularly in Game 7, stepped up. All the defenses were geared to stop him, and Joe was a part of [winning] … I'm a Joe fan, and I thought Joe played reasonably well … No, I don't put any stock in that [appraisal of Johnson].
MB: Have you targeted any position in the draft?
RS: We're just getting started into it. We have to zero in on it – what's the best player and in what area do we need help most – and then you compare the two and you come up with a decision. I pretty much lean, when you're picking 19th, to take the best player with the most potential. Particularly at 19.
MB: You liked Acie Law …
RS: I liked him. I didn't draft him – I inherited him – but I thought it was a pretty solid draft pick, and I liked him when I saw him in college. Like most rookies, he didn't get a lot of playing time. We knew when we brought in Flip that [Law's] minutes were going to be suspect if Flip was a good fit, which he was. So he ended up being the ninth man, which is typical of a lot of guys in their second year. And I really thought the first half of the season he was contributing in that ninth-man role. Then he got hurt. And then, as the season progressed – and this is typical – [Woodson] tightened the rotation. That's what you do because you want to get into the playoffs.
MB: Would you like to keep Marvin Williams?
RS: The one thing you have with free agency is that they hold some cards, too. I've never been one to predict anything that's going to happen in free agency because you never know. What I do say is that I like the core of this club and I'd like to keep as much of this core as we can and I'd like to improve our club if we can with trades. If that happens, great. But what I do like about this club is that it's young enough there can be improvement from within. When you get beyond that, then you've got problems. Then you've got to start talking about major, major moves.
MB: And you don't feel you have to make a major move?
RS: I think we're in a position where we can do both. If some major moves make some sense for us and we can do it, great. If not, we have growth from within. We're in the best of all worlds at this point. We're at the point where we are a bona fide playoff club. So we went in the past five years from bad to good. Now we've got to go from good to great, and that's the really hard part in the NBA – going from good to great.
MB: Can you do that without a superstar?
RS: Define "superstar."
MB: Is Joe?
RS: I didn't say, "Ask me." I said, "Define it." [Laughter all around.] See, I listen to your questions. It gets into my theory …
MB: This is the "top 10 guys in the league" thing.
RS: You got it. Can you win championships and be an elite club with three or four players on your roster who are in the top 10 or 12 at their position? You can. Detroit showed that [in 2004]. Now [Chauncey] Billups today is an All-Pro All-Star, but he wasn't when Detroit got it, and neither was Rich Hamilton. And neither was Tayshaun Prince. But Ben Wallace was in the top 10 of power forwards, and Rasheed [Wallace] went from a top five player in the league when he was at Portland to a top eight.
If you get enough players collectively who are in the top 12 or 13 at their position, you can win a championship. It's been proven. And that's what we have to do … We've got to do it collectively if we don't have an MVP candidate.
Late-breaking addendum! The extremely thoughtful Rick Sund responded to the e-mail about Andersen. Quoth the GM: "We are in the process of evaluating David Andersen via film. He is in our discussions and is another ball we will be juggling. He is another moving part that we will consider."
And now, I believe, my work here is done.
May 20th, 2009
6:53 pm
Mark, I am somewhat surprised by one particular comment.
"I'd have taken making the playoffs without a winning record".
Really Mr Sund? If thats the case, it should be no surprise that he is satisfied with the way the season went, and the job Woody has done.
May 20th, 2009
7:13 pm
Well, at least he speaks more than Billy K. did. He didn't give much away, but at least he said something…….
May 20th, 2009
7:15 pm
two questions:
1. What would you do with the 19th pick?
2. What impression did you get after talking to Rick Sund?
May 20th, 2009
7:26 pm
Mr. Sund needs to speak his mind on Joe cut the bullsh*t.
May 20th, 2009
7:36 pm
Don't worry mark. Mr.Sund will(like Don Waddell)do ONLY what the ownership will allow!!! They can't tell us anything yet b/c they haven't been TOLD what they will be allowed to do!!! (SIGH)!!!
May 20th, 2009
7:39 pm
Rasheed Wallce is coming to Atlanta again. The Hawks need size in the front line
May 20th, 2009
7:40 pm
Sund never really answered most of your questions except by either asking a question back to you or by just saying we have not done our player and team or coach evaluations as yet. Nice try for answers but Sund was too sly to commit his hand and I do not blame him, it is too soon after the season to make these important decisions on who to sign, trade, or draft.
May 20th, 2009
7:41 pm
Probably optimistic to expect him to reveal more, I guess.
He endorsed Woody, Marvin Williams and he doesn't want to blow-up the team. I'm a bit surprised that he's OK with the rebounding statistic. There are other examples of his Top 10 theory and he's right.
Good stuff, if cagey.
May 20th, 2009
7:43 pm
Your question about identity," If the game and the tempo and the ref's dictated…" When a team directs the tempo they control the game not the ref's. The Hawk should run and run some more damn the ref's.
That should be their identity.
May 20th, 2009
7:48 pm
Does sound to promising but it is kinda early in the offseason. Maybe you should have wait to ask him after the free agent period started, cause really he said alot of nothing to be honest. So we see why Woodrow gets away with whatever, its all about wins and loses, and he doesn't care about nothing else. So we can aspect the samething next season, hopefully we have a point guard or some leader on the floor, that will be a MAN and some kinda offense.While he doesn't have to listen to Kenny Smith and the rest of the world who actually watch the HAWKS, our offense is horrible, specially once we get down and that switching defense aint no better! Just hope we get the owner thang taken care of pretty early, cause if not this might be the quickest rise and fall of team that only made it to second round and took boston to seven games.
May 20th, 2009
7:49 pm
Thanks for the interview. Much appreciated.
Now let the reading between the lines begin!
May 20th, 2009
7:49 pm
the hawks don't have an identity. joe johnson is a good player, but not a superstar. smoove could rpresent that identity that the hawks need if he can improve his game and his iq. he is still young and could become the face of the franchise.
May 20th, 2009
8:14 pm
Lawson would be such a great fit, I feel, with his athleticism, improved jump shot and ball-handling, and on-the-court leadership. I hope he falls to 19.
Or that Blake Griffin falls to 19, that would work for me, too.
May 20th, 2009
8:18 pm
I've seen Lawson projected as high as 10 and as low as mid-20's (where the Hawks took Teague)…but I just really see him as a can't-miss pro prospect, and don't know why he's not more highly valued. Then again, I'm a heels fan, too, so I may be biased here.
May 20th, 2009
8:21 pm
nice work mark, good stuff. couldnt expect more still some very thoughtful answers. just hope he can deliver as thus year is more challenging than last summer though the angst was greater last year with the two rfa's. this year it is more the bidding war and budgetary constraints.
good season and enjoyed immensely my first season as a season ticket holder. it is a great time to build fan base support, just hope the basg understand how important that is as they took waaaay to long to rebuild this team into a competitive team as we have watched several others rebuild on the fly. ultimately, it looked that they took the cheap route. let us hope they dont revert to old form.
May 20th, 2009
8:24 pm
Maybe Sund was trying not to play his hand, but I can't believe he said he was happy with Hawks rebounding effort! Hawks were killed by Cleveland in rebounds! And AL is not a center. Sund better have something(s) up his sleeve.
May 20th, 2009
8:26 pm
Mark, Patrick Mills is better than Lawson and Maynor….
Aslo mark, do you think we should look into signining Rasheed?
May 20th, 2009
8:26 pm
Sekou, Do you think Atlanta will stay with the 19 pick in a weak draft? I do not. I have a feeling Bibby will be gone and Marvin and the 19 pick will be jettisoned elsewhere for a starter (Vince Carter). I think Flip is resigned and he will be the 6th man of the year next year. I'm just throwing stuff out there…just wondering….JJ as point (he can play defense, post every PG in the league, and gets into the lane to create), VC at the 2, Smoove at the 3 (I know he's not a 3…he cannot play on the wings…but don't really need it if VC is at the 2 and JJ at the point), Horford at the 4…and maybe Solo, ZaZa or Morris at center. Again, I'm just thinking out loud. I'd take this team over last year's. Then again, what if Chillz comes back?
May 20th, 2009
8:27 pm
My apologies Mark…I didn't mean to put "Sekou" on there…force of habit.
May 20th, 2009
8:43 pm
MB: You liked Acie Law …
RS: I liked him. I didn't draft him – I inherited him LikED him Past tense????
May 20th, 2009
8:43 pm
Mark, I'll take your opinions over mine…so completely disregard what I was thinking about packaging Marvin and the 19 pick. LOL Maybe Marvin and Flip (a must IMO) will be back, but the others gone. With Horford definitely relegated to playing his Hawks career out of position, I'd still like to see JJ at the point for the above reasons, someone else at the 2, Marvin resigns to play the 3, Smoove the 4 and Horford at Center. So who plays the 2 in my scenario???? The rights to Chillz (if he wants to come back) and the no.1 pick for VC? I've never been a huge VC fan…but if you put him with JJ….is there a better PG and SG combo in the league? Other than maybe LeBron and Mo, I want to see it!!!! They could post or create all night against everyone. And they both can play defense which takes pressure off of Smoove, Horford and ZaZa to do their things on the boards. No clue if this works financially, but kinda fun to think about it.
May 20th, 2009
8:56 pm
Mr. Bradley…love the updates. Seriously. Great work!
I know Sund can't go too deep about questions but he tippy-toed around the Acie Law and Bibby questions (did Bibby even come up?)
I really wish you would have asked him to let up on the starters and about player development a little more. He pretty much said the only reason Woodrow burned the first 7 players was "because he wanted to get to the playoffs". Come on now!
Great stuff though. You are really becoming an Atlanta favorite!
May 20th, 2009
9:14 pm
Okay Mr. Bradley. Sorry about that..it HAS been a very long day so the Bibby talk slipped my mind.
Again, us season ticket holders and diehard Hawk fans love your work as of late. You have REALLY picked it up with the Hawks news and it is really appreciated. We cannot get enough!
I really hope that we can keep the "core" of this team together, but if there is a deal out there…we need to do it if it puts us to a "great" team.
Mr. Bradley, did I read that Sund has the OK to "spend money"?? Or did I read that correctly?
Thanks again!

May 20th, 2009
9:27 pm
did you get the impression that Sund more interesting in resigning or trading JChill???
I think this is the summer that Sund has to make a decision on JChill b/c we lose his rights after this season and D.Andreson b/c of his age (29).
May 20th, 2009
9:31 pm
Out of the whole Q&A interview, the only part that was interesting to me was your Late-breaking addendum part about Sund evaluating David Andersen. This guy looks to be a real baller on offense. His game reminds me of Jermine O'Neal. His post game is something the Hawks desperately needs. [(Check out his video)/[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZlnVzmOn3c]]
May 20th, 2009
9:37 pm
Good Stuff! Informative and an imaginative use of the ajc.com franchise.Now some context: The ownership is still in dire straits economically both because of the local market for professional basketball and the the general economy. Plus their internal problems don't help either.
Having said that,the point is they can't afford any major moves and no major star would want to come and play here because of their financial problems.So they are left with a limited set of options regarding the current roster.And one of the limitations is the fact that Josh Childress is not a fan of Woodson's coaching capability.
Another is the fact that while many in the Association believe Woodson is a good character guy ,few believe he is a good coach. That is one of the sidebars of getting the national media attention being a playoff team brings. Opinions and comments that the local media may gloss over are pointedly addressed by the national media experts.And let's face it , they were quite harsh in their assessments. Not wrong in most instances but harsh none the less.
So here we are with some major issues to address because of the team's success and cannot be avoided.
The stakes have been raised and improvement is required. And going from 47 wins to 50 is going to be extremely difficult,especially with the same weaknesses that were so glaringly exposed on national tv.
Which brings us to the threshold question: What did Mr. Sund mean when he said that they were going to honor Woodson's contract?
May 20th, 2009
9:37 pm
I want to believe a Detroit-style team can win but it's hard after seeing the impact of Melo, Howard, LeBron, and Kobe. I don't even put Howard in that category, but watching Melo and Kobe, it's clear either one of them can win a game. Kobe's decisiveness to the basket was awesome and a little disheartening for this Hawks fan. Joe has got the game to get fouls inside but shoots jumpers like an old man. Melo has really turned into a player. I think we may need to run the offense more through Smith who can attack the rim. Of course, the big question mark is his head followed by his shot.
May 20th, 2009
9:38 pm
Mark, do you think this will be a slow summer for almost every team? I mean, with the economy the way it is…I think everyone will be looking for the absolute best possible deal. We all are excited/concerned to see what Atlanta does…but I think it will be a long summer for pretty much every NBA team.
May 20th, 2009
9:38 pm
Thanks Mark. Diehard Hawks fans needed to see this. Nothing very surprising in the answers but really good work and much appreciated. Did our favorite suit-wearing come up in discussion, Craig Claxton?
May 20th, 2009
9:39 pm
With the exception of Mark Cuban's Mavericks of course. LOL
May 20th, 2009
9:45 pm
Interesting about Andersen, I had totally forgotten about him. It would be awesome to add him and Chill back. In that scenario, we can simply let Marvin go, which is fine by me. I would like to sign Bibby for 2 or 3 years at $6-8 million and then draft a point guard or big man, whichever is better at 19.
May 20th, 2009
9:45 pm
My goodness what low expectations from Rick Sund for this year's team. This interview was not very revealing except for the fact that Sund seems pretty contented with where the Hawks are . He thinks we can grow enough with the personnel we have to push forward to the next step. The same coach, the same players, the same chemistry issues, & we could possibly be looking at this same team next year.
As can be expected Sund dodged all the pointed questions & put the onus on Woody as far as his assistants go. I can't imagine many will want to return as Woody doesn't listen to them anyway.
May 20th, 2009
9:45 pm
The Hawks stalled in the half court set! That is a Coaching problem! Bibby couldnt guard anyone in the playoffs..better yet this year. His wheels are worn down from the kings days. offer the vet minimum $5mill. Draft a point guard (maybe trade up to the lottery if you really like someone…incl. m. williams in the trade.) and need to sign a low post back to the back player for cruch time/half court sets. inside/outside will help 3 pt shooters. Tell Josh Smith to drive the ball everytime. What do ya think bradley?
May 20th, 2009
9:51 pm
One other thing…all this talk about drafting a PG who can penetrate & dish the rock is a waste of time. Woody doesn't want that type (ala Ty Lawson) of PG. He wants one who can knock down the outside shot once Joe decides to pass the ball after dribbling around for 15 seconds.
May 20th, 2009
10:35 pm
hawks need a damn center. not no damn point guard in the draft. bj mullins. nbadraft.net…. get sessions in free agency
May 20th, 2009
10:53 pm
Mark, thanks for some what paraphrasing my question…you kept your word…you used fit I said align. I guess Gearson Sr is still RUNNING THA SHOW BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder the Sund and the ASG adores Woody…they got the measuring bar LYING on the GROUND. Heh heh
May 20th, 2009
11:06 pm
What about Cenk Akyol, the Turk PG?
May 20th, 2009
11:10 pm
If Josh opts out of his Euro contract, do you feel Sund would like to resign him?

UNITAR supports the 5th GC SP Senior Leadership Course on Peacebuilding
28 October – 01 November 2013, Geneva, Switzerland - UNITAR supports the fifth edition of a Senior Level Course on "Enhancing Leadership for Peacebuilding" delivered by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) in partnership with Interpeace and on behalf of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland. This course provides an opportunity for current and potential leaders to enhance their understanding of sustainable peacebuilding and leadership styles.
This course builds on the idea that although the body of knowledge about peacebuilding is growing, a lack of clarity about what makes peacebuilding effective, persists. Therefore this senior-level course aims at creating an environment in which participants can share and take stock of lessons learned. It brings together representatives from organizations actively involved in peacebuilding, ranging from national institutions, civil society, including amongst others traditional and religious leaders, NGOs and women's groups as well as international organizations.
Whilst it is essential to work on successful strategies when it comes to peacebuilding, personalities also matter. This is why the course furthermore focuses on exploring leadership styles and skills that support dealing effectively with peacebuilding challenges. In order to achieve this objective, the course uses three unique methodologies: peer advice, substantive imputes, and exercises/skill development.
UNITAR's Peacekeeping Training Programme and Geneva Centre for Security Policy will continue their fruitful partnership, joining efforts to contributing to more effective peace missions.

"Melancholy and Provocation. The Egon Schiele-Project" at the Leopold Museum in Vienna - 23 September 2011 to 16 April 2012
On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, the Leopold Museum will dedicate its 2011 autumn exhibition to the oeuvre of EgonSchiele. The exhibition's title "Melancholy and Provocation" refers primarily to the early oeuvre of the artist who died in 1918 when only 28 years of age. For Schiele's early chief works, which he created from 1910 when he was only 20 years old, are characterized by a strong sense of melancholy and sadness, but also by his fascination with the unusual and the ecstatic. His first solo exhibition, held at the art salon Miethke in 1911, was dominated by elegiac works, revealing a dark and mystical coloring, a melancholy subject matter as well as the artist's radically physical manner of self-portrayal.

Brussels Heritage Days -17 & 18 September 2011
While it is relatively simple to create optimal conditions for the protection of a work of art in a museum, it is infinitely more complexwhen it comes to monuments. Monuments are constantly exposed toenvironmental conditions and quite frequently adapted to meet new needs during their existence. Besides the assignment of a building canchange as well. In these circumstances, the question is not only how to maintain it, but also to define what to maintain. The restoration and conservation are tools that contribute to the preservation of amonument or a landscape for the future.

"The Brilliance of an Era - Art Nouveau jewelry from Europe", at the Mathildenhöhe - 21 August to 11 December 2011
This exhibition, already shown at the Leopold Museum until 25 July 2011, is to present exquisite objects from the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt as well as from private collections. The holdings of the Hessian State Museum are based on the Arts-and-Crafts collection of the Dutch court jeweller Karel A. Citroen (*1922). Citroen began collecting in 1952, at a point in time when it was not at all fashionable to collect artisan craftwork from the Art Nouveau. By 1959, the Amsterdam-based jeweller had succeeded in bringing together several hundred objects from all over Europe, with the main focus being on jewellery. Source:www.leopoldmuseum.org

Serov, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec...- , the exhibition approaches different aspects of the portrait in order to reflect the transition from an initial state of mind, triumphant and self-confident in the early years, to the acute critical anxiety of the Expressionist portraits of the last ones, which close the itinerary of our show.

New post-graduate on Charles Rennie Mackintosh at the University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow is offering a new post-graduate taught-degree at MA level entitled "Mackintosh, Glasgow and International Art Nouveau". This degree explores how at the turn of the last century, Glasgow artists, architects and designers actively participated in the articulation of a modern style across Europe that has since become known as International Art Nouveau. It introduces Scotland's key players in these debates such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Four but frames their contributions within a distinctly cross-continental context that takes into account key Art Nouveau centres such as Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Barcelona, Budapest, Munich, Riga etc. As Britain's only Art Nouveau city, Glasgow offers unparalleled resources for work placement opportunities and collections-based research in areas that are both local and international in orientation.

"Hotel Aubecq. Victor Horta" at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts - 1 July to 3 October 2011
Following the reconstitution of the Hôtel Aubecq facade, this free exhibition tracing the history of this masterpiece of architectural heritage of Brussels and bringing together some of his furniture, will be hosted by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts from July 1 to October 9, 2011. Visitors will also have the opportunity to appreciate the architectural quality of the facade, through organized visits to the warehouse where it is reconstituted. It is flat reconstructed, they can admire the work of stone, metalwork and woodwork like never before.
With the Hôtel Aubecq, named after its industrialist sponsor Octave Aubecq, Victor Horta, a pioneer of Art Nouveau in Belgium, produces about 1900 one of his masterpieces. Built on the prestigious Avenue Louise, this exceptional achievement combined the original plan by the shape of its parts and luxury. A real urban palace, the Hôtel Aubecq that took more than three years of work - if we count the interior furnishings made to measure, was the pride of Victor Horta.
The work of Victor Horta in Brussels marked a major imprint, which is why, as part of this anniversary, several cultural events will be undertaken throughout the year in Brussels around the personality of Victor Horta and his work. Photo : © Arch.Victor Horta-SOFAM Belgique.

If your mate lies, will the IRS blame you?
It will depend on whether you are an 'innocent spouse' who couldn't have known.
It was clearly Barbara's fault.
The mutual fund was in her name and she didn't report the dividends and capital gains as income. Her story was that she never got a 1099. But, the IRS got its copy. What I got was a new tax bill, wrapped in interest and penalties.
It must be a marriage thing. She gets the income and I get the bill. But, this time it was gonna be different. This wasn't my error. I was an innocent spouse.
Even the IRS recognizes an "innocent spouse." That's the poor schlump who files a joint tax return that omits or understates income, or overstates deductions or credits.
Because it's a joint return, each person is subject to what's known as "joint and several" liability. That means that you're personally liable for the total tax, regardless of who earned the money or who negligently, carelessly or intentionally screwed up. But, I'm not bitter.
To qualify as a classic innocent spouse, at the time you signed the return you couldn't have known or had any reason to know that there was an understatement of tax because of errors or omissions by your inconsiderate and thoughtless spouse.
- Video: Investing made simple
Well, maybe I'm a little bitter.
In any case, if, based on the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement of tax, you qualify as an innocent spouse. File Form 8857 (.pdf file) and you're free from liability.
Even if you don't qualify for classic innocent spouse relief, you can be released from liability if the facts and circumstances mandate relief on an equitable basis. This escape hatch works even if the return was correct but the entire tax has not been paid.
Barbara wasn't buying any of this.
Despite my impassioned argument that both the facts and equity made me an innocent spouse, she wouldn't budge.
"By definition, there's no such thing as an "innocent spouse" she proclaimed. "Before you continue arguing, review the qualifications for an 'injured spouse.'"
I paid the bill.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks won't be getting Josh Smith – but they did make a deal for a shooting guard. Several media reports said the Bucks will get J-J Redick and two other players from the Orlando Magic, in exchange for back-up guard Beno Udrih, rookie guard Doron Lamb, and second-year forward Tobias Harris.
The deal was reportedly agreed upon before the N-B-A's two o'clock trade deadline this afternoon. The indications are that Milwaukee will keep starting guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. And general manager John Hammond is adding a solid perimeter shooter for the Bucks' playoff run.
Redick, a seventh-year pro from Duke, is averaging just over 15 points a game this year, a career-high. And Redick is 11th in the N-B-A with 117 three-pointers made. The Bucks also get 6-10 forward Gustavo Avon and six-foot guard Ish Smith. Avon is averaging three points and three boards per game.
One of the players Milwaukee is giving up, the rookie Lamb, has been down twice to the N-B-A's Developmental League in recent months. And Harris was not in coach Jim Boylan's rotation.
As recently as today, there were reports that the Bucks were interested in obtaining Smith, a nine-year veteran forward from the Hawks. Atlanta was rumored to have wanted Ellis. But that appears to be out of the cards, as Smith appears to be staying where he is.
The Bucks hold the eighth-and-final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference at the moment, three-and-a-half games ahead of ninth-place Philadelphia. They host Atlanta on Saturday.

Make This Christmas Bright For You, Your Family and Your Community
Many of us, myself included, are still recovering from large quantities of Thanksgiving delights.
However, yesterday evening and in the early hours of this morning, Americans across the nation were lined up waiting for stores to open and officially usher in the Christmas season.
No turkey hangover would keep the crowds away on one of the busiest shopping day of the year.
And the fun will continue through the weekend and up to Dec. 24.
While today and every day during the holiday shopping season is a busy one, the weekends are the time when the most people take to the stores.
However, with just a month before Christmas, and I'm sure still a mound of presents for the shopper to buy, please don't get caught up in the need for bright lights and large aisles.
Shop Webster this holiday.
When looking for that perfect gift for a loved one this season, remember that downtown Minden and the surrounding community is home to a bevy of quaint little shops just brimming with wonderful gift ideas.
Not only does shopping here at home help the local business community and benefit the city and parish economy, it also promotes a sense of well-being and a down-home Christmas spirit that can rarely be achieved while fighting the long lines in big city department stores.
Each dollar spent in Webster Parish brings in valuable tax revenue that goes to improving everything from the school system, to the repair of roads, to the bettering of our general way of life.
So we know the bright lights of Shreveport, Texarkana, Monroe and even Dallas can be tempting, but just remember your neighbors this Christmas and shop Webster Parish.
You'll be glad you did.
Another note.
While the spirit of Christmas is most definitely now upon us, it is important to remember to be safe at home and on the road this holiday season.
For those traveling outside of the city, remember that roadways will be jammed with fellow shoppers.
Some will be giddy with the excitement of their new purchases and not mindful of their surrounding motorists.
Be careful.
Others, who may be downtrodden due to the holidays, may have chosen to drown their worries in a bottle. They then may take to the roads.
This again is reason to be careful.
At home, remember safety guidelines pointed out by local law enforcement officials when decorating for the season.
Do not leave Christmas lights on while you are out. Do not put your Christmas tree near an open flame. Do not plug too many electrical plugs into one outlet.
Also heads of households need to guard against potential thieves that could, in one cruel act, ruin Christmas for the entire family.
These and other easy-to-follow safety tips should lead to a fun and happy holiday season.
Now go out and shop, but don't be too frivolous.
The post-holiday stress syndrome could take on a whole new meaning when the credit card bills arrive in January.

GPOY - The Winner's Circle
My niece got me a shirt to celebrate my first 10k on Sunday. My mom may have helped her buy it.
It's cool guys, I've got this.
A few of you (mostly girls) ((okay, all girls)) have asked about the red coat I had on while photobombing your dashboards the other day. It's from In God We Trust, but a few seasons back, so I'm not sure if they have anything like it anymore. Do you love it? I love it.
It was an anniversary present from an old boyfriend, but I very quickly learned to detach it from relationship-type reveries because, well, that coat's too good to lose to bad memories.
(pic by Gabe, who let me eat, like, half of his bacon pancakes at brunch last weekend)

I've been pestering my friend Adrienne (the one flaunting the ridiculous fedora we stole from that poor guy behind us) to upload the pics she took at our friend Nick's wedding this summer. She finally did. I look like this in most of them.
Wondering who's giving you all this unrequested advice?
gpoyw, since I can't let you boys have all the fun getting dressed in the morning…
gpoyw - the "I miss buying things" edition
Stopped by J. Crew yesterday for a little blue balls shopping. Try on lovely [dress/skirt/shirt], lust, remove. Repeat.
That comfy striped sweatshirt on the right almost came home with me, but I mean, do I really need to add the clothing equivalent of macaroni and cheese to my closet right now?
…No seriously, tell me. If someone says yes, I will go buy that shirt right now. It was really cute.

10 reasons technology is vital to education
Does technology hurt or benefit the classroom? That is the question in an ongoing debate as more innovative advances in technology are coming to schools and classrooms, and most importantly to our students around the country.
From digital textbooks on mobile devices such as the iPad to online educational courses and interactive whiteboards, technology appears to have created a firm root in the modern educational system.
Here are 10 reasons which explain why these advances in technology are a good thing and should be embraced.
1. Technology Connects Students to the Global Classroom. The world is quickly becoming a global community, yet schools and universities around the nation are still confining students to their own small peer group. Technological innovations allow students to connect with other learners regardless of geographic constrains, thus bringing the global community into the classroom.
2. Increased Accessibility to Educators. In a typical college setting, the student has access to the teacher for approximately one hour, sharing that access with all of his or her classmates. This means that individual time and attention is rare. Technology allows teachers and students greater accessibility to one another outside of the hour-long lecture. This improves the educational experience exponentially.
3. Increased Accessibility to Education. Students in a rural school district may not have the best courses offered due to a lack of teachers or financial resources. Those who live far from a university and can't move to on-campus housing may not be able to get a college degree. Online education options can remove these hurdles for students in these situations. Today, a student can easily pursue a bachelor's degree without ever setting foot on a college campus.
4. Greater Resources with Less Waste. Digital textbooks, virtual manipulatives and online worksheets give teachers and students access to more resources than they could afford with tangible items. Less clutter in the classroom means less waste in the landfills. Digital textbooks are now available on almost every level and other traditional education supplies, like math manipulatives, can now be found in digital form.
5. Meeting Student Expectations. Today's students have grown up with technology. Students expect to use technology when they get to school, so schools who embrace that expectation have a better chance of connecting with their students.
6. Greater Collaboration. Today's teachers and professors are recognizing the value of teaching their students to collaborate in order to prepare the students for a real-world career. With Google's Apps for Education, a free program available to schools, colleges and universities, students can place a document in Google Docs and access it in real time. Thus, a team of students can collaborate on a school project with minimal hassle and no wasted time.
7. Greater Student Engagement. Using technology in the classroom helps improve student engagement. It keeps students interested in what's happening, and as a result students learn more.
8. Greater Productivity. Teachers also benefit from technological advances. Digital grading, the ability to share assignments and online collaboration with peers will lead to greater productivity for teachers and college professors.
9. Saving Money. Technology may not seem to be a money-saving tactic because of the large, initial investment. Yet, over time schools can save money on textbooks, paper worksheets and tangible manipulatives.
10. Giving Students 21st Century Skills. Very few careers can be performed without a basic understanding of computers and technology. Teachers who embrace it in their classrooms, no matter what grade level they are teaching, are preparing students for life outside of school.
