A World Without Easter
- Thursday, April 08, 2004
Now I know this message sounds kind of like a downer, but the darker the dark the brighter the light. Notice the next eight words: "But now Christ is risen from the dead. . ." (v.20) I've got great news for you today. We do have a message--Jesus is Alive. We do have a mission; we are to tell everyone we know that Jesus is alive. We do have a ministry; because Jesus is alive we can offer life to the dying and hope to the living.
Arnold Toynbee, the eminent British historian, once said, "If the body of one Jew, Jesus of Nazareth, can be produced, then Christianity will crumble into a lifeless religion." Toynbee was right. The only problem is nobody has found the body and nobody will find the body, unless you look for it sitting at the right hand of God the Father.
As much as I marvel at the virgin birth of Jesus; as much as I wonder at the sinless life of Jesus; as much as I glory in the cross of Jesus; it is the resurrection of Jesus that makes Christianity unique among all of the world religions. Confucius died and he was buried. Lao-tzu, the father of Taoism wandered off into the wilderness and died with his water buffalo. The Buddha rotted away with food poisoning. Muhammad died in 632 and his body was cut up and spread all over the Near East. But Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. On that single statement hinges the only hope of the human race, both in this life and in the life to come.
A Buddhist in Africa was converted to Christianity. They asked this Buddhist why did you change your faith? Here's what he said: "It's like this: If you are walking along and came to a fork in the road and two men were there, and one was dead and the other was alive, which man's directions would you follow?"
That really is the question. You have the right and you have the freedom to choose a dead Muhammad, a dead Lao-tzu, a dead Buddha, a dead Confucius. But I say loudly and I say proudly I choose to follow the only One who is raised from the dead and lives forever and his name is Jesus.

Bailey, who hit a superb 89 from 79 deliveries, had the best seat in the house as team-mate Phil Hughes became the first Australian ever to score a century on one-day international debut.
Hughes hit a majestic 112 and David Hussey chipped in with a whirlwind 60 not out at the end of Australia's innings as they posted a formidable total of 5-305 from their 50 overs.
Sri Lanka were skittled for 198 in response, with a collapse - triggered by three run-outs in the space of five overs - seeing them lose their final eight wickets for just 87 runs.
Clint McKay (4-33 off eight overs) led the way with the ball for Australia, who took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series with a huge win as they made a mockery of those who suggested the side looked like a 'B' team with the likes of Michael Clarke, David Warner and Matthew Wade missing.
"I think it (was) a really great team effort to stand up on the back of some criticism from outsiders and some people who weren't sure if we were up to it," Bailey said.
"Hopefully we've put those doubts to bed and the next challenge is to do it consistently and go 2-0 up."
Bailey paid tribute to Hughes after his century, which came from 129 deliveries and included 14 fours.
The 24-year-old was one of three players making their first international appearance for Australia in the 50-over format - Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja also made their debuts - but Bailey was impressed with the way he attacked the Sri Lankan bowling.
"(It was) a good all-round performance (with) 'Hughesy' leading the way," he said.
"That was a really important innings. To have three debutants at the top ... that's where you want the majority of your runs to come from and (where) they have to come from, so for 'Hughesy' to lead from the front with a big hundred was really important."
Bailey hopes his side's effort will give the selectors headaches when they decide to end the rest periods for the star trio on the sidelines.
"The challenge is to make it as difficult as you can for the selectors when they are picking their team and to have that depth so that when an injury does occur, that everyone knows that you can slot in and perform different roles," he said.
Centurion Hughes said it was 'flattering' to hear about his new record as the left-hander surpassed the 94 scored by Phil Jaques against South Africa at Etihad Stadium in January 2006.
And he also said his hundred - his fourth for Australia in all formats - was one of his career highlights.
"(It was my) first game so I had a few nerves there," he said.
"I wanted to get a couple away early and they eased back a bit. It was nice to get the three figures on debut today. It's something that I will never ever forget."
Australia take on Sri Lanka in game two of the series at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

Could Paint Particles Help Cool The Planet?
The June 12, 1991 eruption column from Mount Pinatubo taken from the east side of Clark Air Base.
Dispersing a microscopic, light-scattering particle found in paint and sunscreens into the upper reaches of the atmosphere could help cool our rapidly warming planet, scientists say.
Advocates of the idea say that scattering titanium dioxide – which is found in paint, sunscreens, and inks – into Earth's stratosphere could help deflect the sun's rays. The effect would be no different, they argue, from the global cooling effect created by the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which spewed 20 million tons of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere, forming a fine mist of sulphuric acid particles that reduced global temperatures for two years.
Peter Davidson, a member of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering, called the geoengineering project an insurance policy against climate change.
[Direct Air Capture Is Pricey Fix for Climate Change]
"While it's essential that we work to reduce carbon dioxide emissions now, it would be wise to have a well-researched emergency system in reserve as a Plan B," Davidson said.
Scientists chose titanium dioxide because it is stable in air, non-toxic and seven times more effective at scattering light than sulphuric acid.
But how to get the titanium dioxide particles into the atmosphere? One idea is to use an air balloon to lift a flexible pipe up into the lower level of the stratosphere and then use a hypersonic nozzle to spray a chemical slurry that contains titanium dioxide.
Davidson and his colleagues estimate that the cost of the project would be around $4.8 billion per year.
Details about the geoengineering project are detailed in this month's tce magazine, a publication of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).

My cat's name is Sampras, and like the tennis player she is named after, she is awesome. But recently, she's taken to refusing to drink from the bowl of water that I fill and set next to her food every morning.
Instead, she insists on drinking fresh water from the sink. At first, it was kind of cute. Now, it's just annoying.

Um, okay, now I think you ask me a question.
Oh, sure. So what about favorite food? I was eating couple minutes ago so food is still in my mind.
A little more handsome? C'mon Autumn, look at me. I'm like sheer gold.
And your confidence is pretty big now. What do you want from me? You know I thought you're handsome before too so…
(Source: gdiaubrey, via gdiaubrey)
I'm kind of into indigo, violet, the whole royal cold colors thing. Although sometimes pastels are very cute.
Yeah, sweet.
In the flesh, m'dear Autumn.
You didn't changed at all. You're totally same, Theo. Just little bit more handsome but that's little detail.
(Source: gdiaubrey, via gdiaubrey)
Eh, she's got a bold personality is all.
That's completely true.
Um, yeah, shopping isn't my thing, as well as making friends. Well, what's your favorite color?
Since my name is Autumn Woods and idk why I really like brown, green and orange. What about you, sweetie pie?
My best friend Josi?
Oh… sorry she's just mean at me. I think she has never liked me so I guess she won't like me like ever.
I think you're wrong, and I don't want to talk about this anymore, thank you very much.
Okay. So let's talk about…. shopping? Idk I'm not good in talking.
Better being too cute than too mean.
Yeah it reminds me that bitch, Josi.

Pennsylvania company will use state funding to move to larger location.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has announced that PGA Inc., a processor of recycled plastics, will relocate its operations to a different facility within its home community of White Haven, Pa. The move into a larger building will create 28 jobs, according to a news release announcing the project.
PGA determined it needed to expand its operations and identified a facility in White Haven to accommodate its expansion. The company will invest more than $600,000 in land and building acquisitions and development, building renovations, equipment purchases and employee training.
To assist in the move, the company will receive $56,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development when the 28 new employees are hired. PGA has committed to creating at least 28 new jobs within three years and to retaining its current 13 employees.
The expansion project was coordinated by the Pennsylvania Governor's Action Team, which provides site selection assistance, coordinates the involvement of other state agencies as needed, and packages the appropriate economic development funding for the project.
PGA was formed in 2006 as a two-person operation providing brokering services to client companies to capitalize on the growth in plastics recycling. PGA has grown into a full-service sorter, recycler and toll processor of plastics for resale as raw materials to manufacturers.

Is Mitt Romney a Unicorn?: An Arizona online petition outfit called LeftAction has gathered 18,000 signatures asking Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett to prove that Mitt Romney is not a unicorn, reports The Washington Post's Dana Milbank. LeftAction has done this because Bennett has threatened to take President Obama off the state's ballot because he Bennett believes he was not born in the United States. The reasoning goes, it's just as unlikely that Romney is a unicorn as it is that Obama was born in Kenya. And Romney has never released his birth certificate, so I guess he could be a unicorn… via Washington Post
oh by the way this totally worked
(Update: Bennett has now backed off his threat to keep President Obama off the ballot, and apologized! But hey, he still hasn't answered the questions re: "unicorn-gate", and other birthers are constantly emerging, so… keep those messages coming!).

Op-ed by Cecelia Lynch, political science professor and international studies director, as featured in the Christian Science Monitor March 23, 2012
From the CS Monitor:
It's hard know whether to be dismayed by all the attention given to the Kony 2012 campaign and YouTube video, or pleased that some of the issues that I and others have worked on for years are finally coming to light. Humanitarianism in Africa gets oversimplified in myriad ways, in the process making Africans themselves one-dimensional and raising up the white (most frequently, although not always) Westerner as savior. For real progress, Americans need to be committed to a deeper understanding of the causes of poverty both in the US and abroad. Donors and NGOs need an approach that acknowledges the humanity and agency of everyone. And they need creative ways to break through conventional wisdom about "development" to promote justice and equality. In the wake of Kony 2012, here are three points of advice for how nongovernmental organizations, and the donors who push them, can work with African citizens as equals.

Kings (27-13-5)
Red Wings (19-15-10)
Quick Stats:
– Both Detroit and Los Angeles are 4-5-1 in their last ten games.
– Jonathan Quick has a 1.30 goals against average since coming off of the injured reserve.
– Jeff Carter has recorded seven goals and three assists in his last ten games.
The Kings will try to get a bit of a streak going tonight when they face off against the Detroit Red Wings. Tonight the Kings will have the opportunity to win their second game in a row and their third in their last five games.
Hopefully some of the momentum from the Kings 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins two nights ago can carry over into tonight's game against the Wings. In that game Jeff Carter continued his consistent offensive production scoring goal number 16 of the season, and Jonathan Quick turned away 22 shots for his second win in three games since his return from the injured reserve.
The Kings hope to continue their success at Staples Center where they have gone 7-1-1 in their last nine games. Tonight will be the third of a five game road trip for the Red Wings, a trip they have split so far losing to the San Jose Sharks two nights ago and beating the Dallas Stars on the trip's first game.
Detroit will try to best the Kings tonight with out some of their top players. Jonathan Ericsson, Stephen Weiss and Johan Franzen are all sitting on the injured reserve. Pavel Datsyuk and Darren Helm did not play against the Sharks and we will have to wait and see if they suit up tonight against the Kings.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time.

Vernon and North Okanagan News
Charges laid in 2011 murder
According to the RCMP a dispute between two groups of men apparently led to the death of 24-year-old Nicholas Larsen early on the morning of June 1, 2011.
Police made that announcement Monday morning at the same time they announced the arrest of two men in connection with the death of Larsen, who lived in Sorrento.
Jeremy Wayne Davis, 24, from Williams Lake and Jordan Larry Barnes, 27, from Mission were both arrested last week.
Both have been charged with second degree murder.
Davis was arrested outside his Williams Lake home this past Thursday while Barnes was taken down in Kelowna the following day.
"A search of Davis' residence in Williams Lake was carried out after the arrest," said RCMP Insp. Terry Kohlhauser, senior investigating officer with the Southeast District major crimes unit.
"Fire arms of interest to this investigation were seized."
Larsen was killed during a drive-by shooting shortly after midnight on Blind Bay Road.
"Upon arrival it has been determined a male had been targeted and shot several times while riding in a car which had been forced off the road by another vehicle while travelling on Blind Bay Road," says Kohlhauser.
"The male died shortly thereafter on a nearby friend's property."
The announcement of the arrests were made Monday morning at the Kelowna RCMP Detachment.
"The reckless, calculated decision to murder Nick over something as trivial as a verbal confrontation has forever changed the lives of so many innocent people. We believe you are exactly where you deserve to be," said Shelley Larsen in a prepared statement.
"Jordan Barnes and Jeremy Davis. I only hope one day you will be able to comprehend the devastation, chaos and immense pain the murder of our son created in my life, that of Nick's father, brother, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and friends."
She went on to say that, while there will never be closure, a weight has been lifted from our lives knowing those believed responsible are now before the courts.
"Jordon and Jeremy for the first time in three long years our family has felt a moment of peace and elation at the news of your arrest."
Kohlhauser was unable to provide much information concerning motive or events which led investigators to Davis and Barnes stating the matter was before the courts and would come out at a later date.
He did state Larsen was acquainted with one of the suspects and did dispel rumours of a gang connection.
Both men were scheduled to appear in court Monday, Davis in Kamloops and Barnes in Kelowna.
While arrests have been made, Kohlhauser said police are still interested in additional information people may have regarding the murder of Nicholas Larsen.
Anyone with information can contact their local RCMP Detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Normally, when you open a file of an unknown type, it will
prompt you for an application to use to open the file.
This does not prove true for Microsoft Office documents.
If you rename an Office document to an unknown extension,
Windows will still use the Office application to open the file.
Someone with malicious intent could create a macro virus
embedded in an Office document, then rename the file with
a .VIR extension. Since most anti-virus software have an
exclusion of .VI* this file would never be scanned by Norton.
I was able to duplicate this on NT 4.0 SP4, Office 97 SR-2,
NAV 5.0 definitions 7/17/00 and another system W98 4.10.2222A,
Word 2000 9.0.2720, NAV 4.0 definitions 7/17/00 so long as
the extension was *NOT* .vir.
It worked with .viq and .via, but .vir is recognized as
a Norton extension and prompts for a program to open it.
Still, the ordinary exclusion is .vi?, so the macro would
have executed.

Tim breaths in, watches the world blur underneath his hands, and breath in again.
Panic attack. He hasn't had one of those in awhile.
He sits back against the empty warehouse, taking deep breaths to try to keep in control. His arms won't stop shaking. His fingers twitch like they're touching pulsing electricity. Everything goes into double vision as his heartbeat thunders in his ears, his brain short circuits, and his world goes to hell.
He had only stopped taking his medication for a week damn it. A week. That wasn't enough for it to fall through, was it?
Anxiety, a beast Tim has pictured as a Scarecrow soon after he met the man, consumes his logical train of thought in an instant. On the edge of a panic attack; now was not the time to think about schedules and prescriptions and oh god, what if Bruce found out, like mental illness isn't a stigma in Gotham already, he wasn't supposed to find out like this, failure and-
"Red." A hand on his shoulder. A black cape. Cass's eyes peering at him, not unkindly, but concerned. She reaches for a Fear gas antitoxin. Tim takes in another breath, steadies for a moment.
"Not gassed. Just me. Uh-" He cuts off, sucking in another breath to try to get the world from shaking. Cass stares at him, at his pupils, at his shaking hands the fingers dug into the floorboards to try to keep from falling to pieces. And she sits right next to him, pulls him to her and, rubs his shoulder.
And talks about her day.
Tim wants to wonder how she knows that the key to his ills is distraction. He figured it out when he was young, taking pictures of Superheros and solving cases to distract himself from his nerves, but he hadn't shared it with anyone. But Cass seems to know anyway. She talks about Toyko, about her new friends, about her attempts to learn sign language. And eventually Tim.
"You're still good," Cass said softly. "At what you do. That doesn't change."
The world begins to slow back to a normal tempo. Tim has to stop focusing to breath. His hands stop shaking.
And Tim, for the first time in days, smiles.

In this post, Dr. Jones reflects on teaching English 250: Introduction to Literature. At FMU, Dr. Jones frequently teaches Introduction to Literature as well as English 348: African American Literature and English 200: Writing in the Disciplines.
The Joys of Teaching English 250: Introduction to Literature
A few years ago I read that the average American reads one book a year. Changing that frightening statistic is my motivation for teaching. One of the most challenging courses to teach can be English 250 Introduction to Literature. The first day of any class can be anxiety producing, but the first day of English 250 seems to elicit boredom in most students. Ah, those first 15 minutes of "I have to take this course so let's get on with it so that I can tweet." English 250 is my favorite course to teach because it gives me an opportunity to pass on a priceless gift: the love of reading. I know that most students don't read for pleasure but, as President Carter said at graduation a few years ago, we aren't doing our jobs very well if we don't create lifelong readers. Producing not only readers, but informed and passionate readers is my goal for English 250.
I like teaching English 250 because reading together is a great way of forming community. We share our likes, dislikes, hopes, and dealbreakers for relationships. I know that my students are sometimes surprised that they reveal some of their deepest thoughts and desires about life and love as we discuss works such as Andrew Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. We form an emotional bond by sharing our reading experiences. I respect the demonstration of faith and trust they create by being engaged in the readings. With that said, I must admit that many of my students have lost their dating privileges. Perhaps my protective parental instincts took over, but I just had forbid them from dating to protect them from themselves. It all started when an offspring of a faculty member enrolled in my section of Introduction to Literature. Now I've known this person grow from a talented artist in high school into an amazing young man. So, when I heard his hopeful yet totally inaccurate description of a character in our novel, I had to immediately rescind the student's dating privileges for his own benefit. It turned out that the way that he responded to the character reflected his actual romantic history. He wanted to save her when she clearly was incapable of saving herself. What started as a joke became serious when other students, out of concern, agreed with the loss of dating privileges for other students. I would hear "You know, Dr. Jones, Mr. or Ms. really shouldn't date." It has been funny and touching to see the protectiveness of the students develop for each other.
I also enjoy helping students, who openly admit to not liking literature, turn into combative sonnet lovers. Seriously, each semester discussions of Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnet "What Lips My Lips Have Kissed And Where And Why" are downright heated. I don't know why Millay provokes such strong responses, but it is beautiful to listen to the differing interpretations of the poem's speaker. Let's just say that there aren't many budding feminists among my students.
After a few weeks of reading works by Edith Wharton, Shakespeare, Lorraine Hansberry, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, these young people form passionate opinions about literature. They begin to welcome the challenge of tackling a new literary work. I am always so proud of all of my students for being emotionally and intellectually present when they read literature. The fiery disagreements also reveal who has not done the reading. That number decreases to about 1 by the third week. If they haven't read, they can't participate. I've seen students sneakily try to read in class to find out what has everyone so excited.
Lastly, my goal in English 250 is to introduce the students to works of literature that every college graduate should know. Because I want to inspire confidence in their abilities to understand canonical literature, my students come to class without knowing the text of that day's class. Everyone encounters the work at the same time. Being able to understand a sonnet by William Shakespeare makes my students feel confident in themselves. They start to banish that voice in their heads that has labeled them as bad English students . Sometimes they even read works that I haven't assigned.
My ultimate goal is to help them to make more informed life choices. At least I feel certain that my students will forever remember at least one lesson from William Shakespeare's sonnet 116 "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments". Students have come back to tell me that they keep a copy of the sonnet with them to remind them of their own romantic goals while others keep the sonnet with them as a talisman. They tell me that they can still hear me saying over and over "Love's not Time's Fool" and now understand the motivation behind my constant refrain. Then my work is done. The class is over. Let the dating begin.

The West seems to be all about the Thunder and the Lakers. The blue-collar Spurs like it that way. Even though they have been consistently excellent, still have the nucleus of earlier championship teams, and even had the best record last year (50-16), no one is talking about the Spurs.
There are real reasons not to get excited. They pretty much stood pat in the off-season. Standing pat is death to championship aspirations. You must keep getting better because your competition will. Sure, the Spurs are good and don't need a lot of changes but they aren't good enough to make no changes.
For one thing, they're famously old. Tim Duncan is 36, Manu Ginobili is 35, Stephen Jackson is 35, Tony Parker is 30, Boris Diaw is 30, Matt Bonner is 32. Older guys usually have less stamina and are more injury-prone. And an older team will run less and play more of a half-court game. They need a couple of (good) younger guys on the bench.
The Big Three—PF Duncan, SG Ginobili and PG Parker—are back for one more run. Even though they are all past their peak, they are still capable of leading the charge. But to win it all they need a better supporting cast. They're still hella tough. They went 50-16, after all. They're just not as good as the Thunder or Lakers. And who knows who else.
The Big Fundamental is down to 28 minutes a game but last season still averaged 15.4 points and 9 rebounds. Like a pitcher who, after 15 seasons, has lost his fastball, he now gets it done with sheer experience, smarts and, yes, fundamentals. Duncan is still a good low post player, great at the pick-and-roll, setting screens and hitting medium-range shots.
C Tiago Splitter was drafted by the Spurs in 2007 (#27), played in Europe for three years and is now in his third year in San Antonio. Last year in 19 minutes he averaged 9 points and 5 boards. He's on track to play more minutes this year and may finally blossom. Actually, he better blossom. They need a big man to complement Duncan or, better yet, someone that Duncan would complement.
In the Intriguing category is C Eddy Curry, trying to make the roster. He's finally landed on a team that can handle formerly Volatile/Immature Types (e.g., Stephen Jackson) so it's possible that Curry may blossom too and become Splitter's main backup. They need Curry's size. The backups for Splitter—Diaw and DeJuan Blair—are both fine bench players—but are way undersized.
PF Josh Powell might also make the Spurs final roster, and will if he's as good as I remember him. If he does, the Spurs will become the sixth team in his six-year NBA career.
Where the Spurs are young is at small forward in Kawhi Leonard, who was drafted last year by the Pacers (#15), then dealt to the Spurs for PG George Hill. In last year's rookie season, Leonard, in 24 minutes a game, averaged 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1.3 steals, defended well, ran the court, and provided energy. Once again he'll share the position with Stephen Jackson. That's a strong duo at small forward. Derrick Brown, best known as a defender, will also get some minutes.
Parker, starting his 12th season, still makes the Spurs go. They have capable backups in Patty Mills and rookie Cory Joseph but no one ready to take over if Parker misses extensive time.
Considering his history of injuries and his age (35), Ginobili's durability is a concern. Sharing the load at shooting guard will be Danny Green, the probable starter, as well as Gary Neal and James Anderson.
You'd think the Spurs are too good to fail. But it doesn't take long for a good thing to go bad. Ya gotta be ever vigilant, but the Spurs don't seem to be. They should have foreseen the day when the Big Three would have to be phased out gradually and replaced by outstanding talent. But the rest of the Spurs roster is rather average. The front office has been complacent but it's not clear yet how much damage that will do. Normally you could ink them in for a playoff spot but I have a hunch that they're heading for a fall. This year that fall will probably amount to merely finishing 6th, 7th or 8th.

Tommy Dreamer will be working for TNA tonight when the company films their one night only Hardcore Justice pay per view in Massachusetts. The former ECW and WWE star will be taking on Ethan Carter in a tables match.
ECW legend Tommy Dreamer will be returning to TNA at the end of December to work the Hardcore Justice pay per view.
When he made his Impact Wrestling debut last night, Mike Tenay called MVP by that name, which led to speculations as to whether or not TNA will be using that as a permanent moniker. It now appears that the company will be using that name, as he used it during a promo taped for next week.
TNA produced a highly entertaining funeral segment for Aces and Eights, who were forced to split up after Bully Ray was defeated by Mr Anderson at Turning Point.
"....and I'm STILL NOT buying TNA nor would I ever want to affect the team of Mike Tenay and Taz. They have great chemistry and as I have said before they do a great job with what is provided them on their monitor."

Modeled after ESPN's 5-on-5, three of us will answer three questions about a Pistons-related topic. Please add your responses in the comments.
1. Size isn't going to be an issue for either side on Friday, but the play of each side's guards will dictate a lot. How do the Thunder frustrate Detroit's guards and how do the Pistons contain Russell Westbrook and Co.?
Patrick Hayes, PistonPowered: The Thunder will frustrate Detroit's guards by showing up. For the Pistons, their challenge is a little more complex. Rodney Stuckey has traditionally played well against Russell Westbrook thanks to his ability to create a rivalry in his own mind. Whatever works — I won't bash anything that's effective. I also think for the Pistons to have a chance against Westbrook defensively, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope needs to see time guarding Westbrook. He's the only Piston guard with the mix of size and athleticism necessary to stand a reasonable chance against Westbrook.
Of course, if Caldwell-Pope plays, that means the Pistons will either play five guards (not ideal) or sit Chauncey Billups or Will Bynum (more ideal). Maurice Cheeks has been very committed to that duo so far this season, but with his backcourt looking to be fully healthy, it's time to reign in their minutes.
J.M. Poulard, PistonPowered: The Thunder love to play at a breakneck pace and impose their athleticism on teams. Detroit can counter that by protecting the ball, selectively pushing the pace and crashing the glass. Westbrook is at his most dangerous in the open floor, thus keeping him in the half court is key.
I expect OKC's backcourt to press up on the Pistons' guards and dare them to venture into the paint where Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka are waiting for them. It's a very tough proposition to convert around the hoop when those players are around and the Thunder might very well be inclined to dare Detroit to try.
Royce Young, Daily Thunder: Westbrook has a pretty significant size and strength advantage on Brandon Jennings, so I'd expect OKC to work Westbrook a lot in the mid and low posts. Westbrook can overpower other guards sometimes with that and he has a pretty underrated post-up game. And with that, you can tack on fouls and wear them down. I don't think either side necessarily feels like they're containing anyone, really. It's more about just putting them in difficult situations.
2. Turnovers have been an issue for both sides so far this season — is the reckless ball handling going to continue tonight?
Patrick Hayes: Yes. Both teams have length and athleticism on defense and both teams often make risky passes that lead to turnovers on offense. This is a potentially exciting game if both teams play well, but I'd expect some sloppiness as well as lots of spectacular steals and blocks from both sides.
J.M. Poulard: Pressure defense typically is a good recipe to force turnovers and surprisingly, both teams have fared well on this front. The overall athleticism of Detroit and OKC has been problematic for their opponents this season and one can only assume that will continue.
Thus, expect some sloppy play on the part of both teams as well as some transitions plays.
Royce Young: For the Thunder, probably. Their turnovers come and go. It's a problem, then it's not a problem. But really, the Thunder often play at their best when they're fast and loose and free. And with that comes turnovers. The Thunder finally played well against the Mavs and that included 24 turnovers. So I kind of expect more of the same.
3. Outside of each team's big three players, which role players will rise to the occasion tonight?
Patrick Hayes: For Oklahoma City, Jeremy Lamb. Lamb's shooting numbers are great through four games — 49 percent from the field and 39 percent from three. The Pistons aren't defending the three particularly well (opponents are shooting 35 percent from distance), so Lamb could provide a spark off the bench. For Detroit, Luigi Datome. He didn't shoot well in his first extended action of the season on Tuesday, but he had quality looks. He needs to make a quick impact to secure that rotation spot before Cheeks explores other options at the backup four spot, and tonight could be the night he does it.
J.M. Poulard: Kendrick Perkins. It's not so much that I believe he will rise to the occasion, but rather that his play will determine the outcome of the contest. Perkins is a physical interior presence that frustrates opposing big men.
He will probably get matched up with Andre Drummond and look to impose his brute strength on the youngster. An intimidated and flustered Drummond does no good for the Pistons. However, if he rises above the veteran's savvy and outplays him, the Pistons will have a shot at winning late.
Royce Young: Everyone in OKC is drooling over Steven Adams right now and he's in for a big matchup against Drummond and Greg Monroe. If Adams can provide the needed size and muscle inside to allow Scott Brooks to play small with KD at the 4, it'll create some mismatches for Detroit.

Africa is more than just poverty, pestilence, and pyramids. Support this ground-breaking pilot TV episode about Morocco's unseen side.
The devastation in the aftermath of the 2013 Powerhouse Fire chilled our hearts. On one side of the street were healthy trees, on the other… nothing. The absence of animals left an uneasy silence across the scene, broken at intervals by the mad rush of the brave men and women still fighting the dying fire.
Hiker Heaven, Agua Dulce, CA. A thru-hiker mecca operated by the super-hero Sauffleys. This was a uniquely important stop in the summer of 2013 as just over the horizon burned the now 36,000 acre 'Powerhouse Fire'. Everyone at the Sauffleys was busing ahead, passing by the devastated 60 miles of trail. We made the most difficult decision of the trail - to keep our path from Mexico to Canada continuous, we would head out across open road or open desert. We stayed up late that night, scheming our path ahead with trail angel Ron. All said, 9 hikers threw their handkerchiefs in the ring for the expedition into the belly of the beast.
A hidden part of thru-hiking is that every so often during a day of blistered feet, deep hunger, and constant thirst, a moment of bliss will catch you off guard. These are the moments we present to the outside world, often misrepresenting the hike as a trip of constant vistas and stunning beauty. Here, above the clouds, the setting sun finds us, re-energizing us for the day's remaining miles.
The poisonous Poodle Dog Bush (center, purple flowers) became the bane of our hike. We soon learned the 'Poodle Dog Shuffle', a series of twists and hip swings needed to avoid a trail overgrown with the plant. Had we not been in full rain-gear to avoid the plant and toiling in 100+ degree temps we may have even laughed at the sight of four grown adults bobbing and weaving to a silent tune.
Each summit brings the landscape together, painting a narrative of past, present and future. Looking back, we are reminded of the hot days since the border and to the north always stretched more desert. But we knew that somewhere beyond the tan hills lay the Sierras, and it was the promise of constant water and cooler temps that drove us onward. I thought countless times that the hardest part would be over once the desert was conquered. Now, it is only possible to look back and smile. The secret no one will tell you is this: the desert is the easy part.
For every 1,000 feet of elevation gained, the temperature will decrease 3 degrees Fahrenheit. The landscape, too, will change as if you had traveled 300 miles north, instead of 1,000 feet up. The mountains in the midst of the desert breathed life into our hike, giving us a glimpse of what was to come.

Politics and policy from inside Washington
Just how much defense spending can be cut?
This chart from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget shows that while there may be some room to reduce defense spending, the instrument of choice should be a scalpel rather than a hatchet:
Seems like 1% of GDP (from your chart) is going to war spending… so that's $150B savings once the wars stop. Plus, pulling down troop numbers in Germany, Japan, South Korea are probably worth another $50B/yr. That's an easy $200B a year savings. Seems worth it and easy to me… Maybe cutting back on building new/more aircraft carriers and submarines would knock off another big chunk of change too.
Also, I find it more than slightly disingenuous to compare current defense spending to Reagan-era defense spending, when the govt was actively and purposefully increasing military spending to intimidate Russia. I'd be curious to see how that chart looks going back to the 30s, through the depression, through post-Korea/pre-Vietnam decade, etc.

Eagle Strike (Alex Rider Adventures)by Anthony Horowitz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Millions adore him. A philanthropist. Anti-drug crusader. Peace activist. And former pop star the likes of which the world has never seen. Sir Damian Cray even has the president's ear. Yet the president's ear is not enough for Damian — he wants more. Such as the President's fingerprints. So he can manipulate computer systems only the President of the United States has access to. So he can launch nuclear missiles. From aboard Air Force One. All in the name of peace....So what if a few million lives are lost in the process? Teen spy Alex Rider survives a bullfight, a high-speed bicycle chase through Amsterdam, and even being the target in a human video-game, only to face his most disturbing challenge yet: when the best of intentions are driven by insanity, how do you reason with a madman?
"For anyone who has enjoyed Alex's previous adventures, EagleStrike will prove just as good if not better, and for those who haven't been introduced to this young spy, this book will certainly get them addicted and anxiously awaiting the next installment." School Library Journal
"Once again, Horowitz tells a tight story, and his knack for descriptive action drives readers through the very accessible plot. Teens need not have read previous Rider adventures to enjoy this one." Booklist
"It's all absurd fun that lives up to the excitement young readers have come to expect from Horowitz." Kirkus Reviews
Sir Damian Cray is a philanthropist, peace activist, and the world's most famous pop star. But still it's not enough. He needs more if he is to save the world. Trouble is, only Alex Rider recognizes that it's the world that needs saving from Sir Damian Cray. Underneath the luster of glamour and fame lies a twisted mind, ready to sacrifice the world for his beliefs. But in the past, Alex has always had the backing of the government. This time, he's on his own. Can one teenager convince the world that the most popular man on earth is a madman bent on destruction — before time runs out?
The ultimate action-fueled end-of-the-world conspiracy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author D.J. MacHale
parachuting out of military helicopters to invade Tucker Pierces idyllic hometown on Pemberwick Island, Maine.
They call themselves SYLO and they are a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. SYLOs commander, Captain Granger, informs Pemberwick residents that the island has been hit by a lethal virus and must be quarantined. Now Pemberwick is cut off from the outside world.
Tucker believes theres more to SYLOs story. He was on the sidelines when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He saw the bizarre midnight explosion over the ocean, and the mysterious singing aircraft that travel like shadows through the night sky. He tasted the Ruby—and experienced the powers it gave him—for himself.
What all this means, SYLO isnt saying. Only Tucker holds the clues that can solve this deadly mystery.
because Pemberwick is only the first stop.

'Bedroom tax' to cost Bransholme family-of-seven £80 a month
Posted: January 23, 2013|
A FAMILY of seven are set to lose £80 a month because new rules say they are under-occupying their house.
Gary and Heather Hooper live in a four-bedroom council property in Axminster Close, Bransholme.
The couple's severely disabled five-year-old daughter Angel sleeps in a specially-built ground floor room.
But under welfare reforms being introduced by the Government in April, the family are facing having their housing benefit reduced by £20 a week.

We can stop 'bedroom tax', just like we stopped poll tax - Paul Spooner
It is because the new rules for larger families require bedrooms to be shared by two children. Under that definition, one bedroom in the house will be classed as spare or unoccupied.
At the moment, three of couple's children – Lee, nine, Scott, five, and Cassy, two – have their own rooms.
The couple share a bedroom with their youngest son, ten- month-old Aaron, while Angel's room is not being classed as a bedroom.
Mrs Hooper, 28, who is also six months' pregnant, said: "The council has told us we will be classed as only requiring three bedrooms and, as such, the house will be under-occupied under the new system, which is ridiculous.
"It means we will be losing about £80 a month, which is quite a lot of money."
Mr Hooper, 44, gave up his job as a forklift truck driver to help care for his family.
Ward councillor Phil Webster also sits on the council's cabinet.
He said: "I am taking this case up with the Government because it's just not right."

701 1st Ave. N.
Minneapolis, MN 55403
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Minneapolis (Downtown)
"I want a new life," sings Jim James on the fourth track of February's Regions of Light and Sound of God. To a certain extent, he already has it. After six albums as the frontman of Louisville sluggers My Morning Jacket, James is on his first solo outing, a celestial 38-minute sigh with a fitting attention to spirituality. Though fuzzed-up guitars sear to the surface on "Dear One" and "Actress," it doesn't have a single track like "One Big Holiday," the immortal 2003 MMJ jam with six-string heroics damn near everywhere. Instead, the music on Regions is quieter than (and just as adventurous as) that of any MMJ record, with tumbling piano, vaguely funky bass, and cruising sax all in tow. There's also an especially bright spotlight on James's hickory tenor, a voice that here occasionally evokes John Lennon's. Above all, the thing is just a gorgeous record, and James, its producer, should have no trouble translating its sheen live. With Cold Specks. 18+.

Is there some sort of award given out here at DYAC for whining about the layout? Rather than comments on how funny the fails are, everyone is complaining about how this site makes money.

I'm going to go through and start replying to everybody bitching about the new layout. My reply will be this: "Since you obviously can't read (or just don't care to), the DYAC staff is updating the website. This includes the layout, also, but only temporarily. They are entering phase 2 of 3, and by the end of the total update, there will be up to 12 posts per page."
