Snow is probably the last thing you want to look at right about now, especially not too long after Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency.
But how about this thing, eh?
While combing our files for photos of Yankee Stadium withstanding snow, I came across these two shots, taken by Koichi Kamoshida of Getty Images.
They're from Feb. 4, 2004, when Japan's Self Defense Force members carved Hideki Matsui's face into a huge mount of the white stuff. It was displayed at the 55th annual Sapporo Snow Festival in Sapporo, Japan.
In the year prior, Matsui made his Yankees debut, hitting .287 with 16 homers while driving in 106 runs. He finished second in AL MVP voting that year.
Matsui ranked No. 1 on our list of Japanese players to suit up for the Yankees. The team is currently pursuing starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

The 5 Things You Need To Know Before You Go | March 20, 2013March 20th, 2013 at 6:35 am by Rebecca Valdez under 5 Things, Latest Posts, Morning Show
Time now for the 5 things you need to know about as you head out this morning.
5) Another all night deadly SWAT situation this one near Irving and Rainbow. It started around 11-30 last night. First it was an argument then it turned deadly when someone pulled a gun – shooting an killing one person. This prompted a massive search effort–loudspeakers, K-9 patrols, helicopters.
4) Buy your Powerball tickets and take your chances at being obscenely wealthy! The Powerball jackpot is up to $260 million dollars. The cash payout on that would be $161.1 million bucks! The drawing is tonight.
3) It's going to be a warmer day. Today will be mostly sunny, with a high near 61, and an East wind 5 to 15 mph becoming Southwest in the afternoon. Then tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 39, and a West wind 10 to 15 mph.
2) The Lobos -fans-entourage- are all in Salt Lake City, Utah! The Lobos get to take the court at Energy Solutions Arena for practice after five – tonight. Then the 3rd seed Lobos will play their first game in the NCAA Tournament against Harvard crimson tomorrow night at 7:50 on TNT.
1) Make sure to catch the Galles Lobo Special tonight at 9:30 on 2 KASA Fox. News 13 Sports Director Van Tate and Sports Anchor Lawrence Gilligan zero in on the players. They'll have a break down of the game. Tell us what the Lobos need to do top Harvard and much more. Again that's tonight at 9:30 on 2 KASA Fox.

Fly Fishing the Texas Coast
Corpus Christi Bay offers excellent wadefishing in front of the Portland community, in the area around Indian Point. The site is accessible by car or on foot. Flyfishers can also launch a kayak at the Indian Point Pier to fish the point and a nearby oyster reef.
Toward the middle of Nueces Bay, the bottom gets boggy in about 2 to 4 feet of water. Fish-holding features here include oyster reefs, mud bottoms, and cordgrass shorelines. Redfish and trout hold along the reefs, and it is possible to find tailing fish near the grass along the shorelines.
Not many people wade the Portland shoreline, but 8- and 9-pound trout have been caught in that area over the years, says Portland native Mark Lucas. He recommends fishing the edge of the spoil island as well as sandbars and guts just off the 40-foot-deep Reynolds Channel. In this area, tailing reds often get back on the mud bottom flats around Whites Point. The area is not heavily fished because it is hard to reach and has soft bottoms in places. You can access it on the north shoreline from Odem via Farm Roads 893 and 1074.
Odem Bay, behind Whites Point off Nueces Bay, includes a large marsh with a number of tidal creeks. It is shallow and hard to reach by boat but ideal for a sea kayak. Odem Bay is a prolific shrimp nursery benefitting from the fresh water released upstream from Lake Corpus Christi and the Nueces River (see map on page 93). Redfish, trout, black drum, and flounder are found in these bays. Look for birds working over trout in the spring. Reef fishing in the area also is productive. A steady southeast wind over 10 mph will muddy up the water in Odem Bay, but the estuary is productive during the winter months and can be fished effectively in a north wind.
The shallow waters around the PortlandCorpus Christi causeway, where the Corpus Christi and Nueces bays meet are known to hold good numbers of trout and redfish. The area has many features attractive to fish, including a big oyster field, guts, and smaller oyster bars. When the tide comes in, it flushes over these bars, and fish hold behind the reefs. A peak fishing period here is in the spring, when the shrimp start migrating and you can find trout and redfish feeding actively. The bay also provides good fishing in late fall and winter. Periods of heavy freshwater runoff or upstream releases on Nueces and Odem bays can adversely affect fishing until these systems balance out. Local anglers say wadefishing can be good along Corpus Christi's scenic Ocean Drive.
Nearby Oso Bay also offers productive wadefishing and is a good area for fishing out of a kayak. Oso Bay receives a warm-water discharge that is from the CP&L power plant, and redfish stack up there in the winter months.
The Humble Channel and the Boat Hole on the north end of the Laguna Madre hold trout and redfish in water 2 to 3 feet deep. There are a number of wadable flats in the area. Large schools of redfish stage in this area during the summer and fall months.
Another productive fly-fishing destination in the Corpus Christi area is Packery Channel and Park. The channel offers drive-up, walk-in wadefishing. Flyfishers can launch a kayak here to fish the far shoreline. At dawn, redfish move up into the channel shallows to chase baitfish. The park is located on Texas 22 (South Padre Island Drive), east of the JFK Causeway Bridge near the Texas 361 turnoff to Port Aransas.

For many in the New York City area, daybreak Tuesday brought stark realization that the damage was as great as predicted. Here are some of the stories.
On the south shore of Long Island, residents of the town of Mastic Beach waded through flooded streets to assess the ruins of their homes.
Donna Vollaro, 53, covered her face with her hands and sobbed as she walked through the wreckage of her ranch home, which was flooded with several feet of water. The water had receded by early Tuesday afternoon, but the house was filled with mud and everything inside destroyed.
"My bed was floating around in three feet of water. The floors are buckled. The walls are caved in. Everything I own is gone," she said.
Vollaro, who is disabled and unemployed, has no home owner's insurance and said she recently spent her savings on renovating the home. Inside, the refrigerator lay on its side, the couch was soaked with floodwater and the boiler was destroyed.
"Now I have nowhere to go. Just the clothes on my back. That's what I have," she said.
In Coney Island, Demetrick Walker, 25, was out with a friend trying to start his car.
"All the cars were under water. At least mine was where I left it," he said.
"My mother's car was parked down there," Walker added, pointing to his left. "And it ended up down there," he said, pointing about 100 yards in the opposite direction and around a corner.
A home for senior citizens about two blocks from the boardwalk, administrator Mordechai Deutscher said he watched as flood waters burst through the front glass doors. The staff at the Mermaid Manor Home for Adults had moved all the residents to at least the second floor of the four-story building.
"Everything was fine and dandy yesterday until high tide," said Deutscher, 58. "All of a sudden within five minutes it was like a tsunami."
Sal and Lori Novello rode out the storm in the dark, with candles providing the light and a wind-up radio their window on the unfolding storm. Sal Novello, 50, said when the water started rushing into their 5,000-square-foot Dutch Colonial in Lindenhurst, "it sounded like Niagara Falls." They ended up with 7 feet of water in the basement.
"They kind of warned us and everybody knew it was coming," said Novello, a construction executive. "Unfortunately it was everything they said it was."
"More importantly I hope there's not too many fatalities," he said. "It's really catastrophic."
John Tricoli, his wife Christine and 6-year-old twins Johnny and Maria spent Monday night holed up in their 11th-floor apartment in one of several office buildings in lower Manhattan that were converted to condos in the 2000s and that have become an enclave for young families.
Once the power went off at 7 p.m., there was a major challenge: No TV.
By candlelight, "we colored, we read, we played games — old school," Christine said as the family emerged for a walk on Tuesday.
"There was even talking," she joked.
Sgt. Tommy Carachi, of the Sea Gate police department, rescued people from submerged cars and houses destroyed during the superstorm.
"It was so chaotic last night, I've never seen anything like it," Carachi said.
Sandy's enormous storm surge pushed water into the streets of Sea Gate, on the southwest tip of Brooklyn near Coney Island.
Carachi pulled two people of cars swamped by the deluge and rescued a woman who was trapped, dangling from a pole in the upper level of her two-story house.
"The bottom level of her house was completely washed out, just destroyed," Carachi said.
In Red Hook, Brooklyn residents who ignored the mandatory evacuation awoke to debris strewn streets and a continuing blackout.
The floodwaters that rose at least 12 blocks inland had receded by dawn, leaving cars scattered like leaves on the streets, planters deposited in intersections, and green metal garbage bins flipped on their sides.
The doors of the Fairway grocery store were blown out.
"Oh Jesus, oh no," said Faye Schwartz, 65, as she surveyed the damage shortly after 7 a.m.
Schwartz and her husband rode out the storm on the third floor of the residences above the Fairway, and said white-capped flood waters reached at least three feet around the building.
So many trees were down in residential neighborhoods of the New York suburbs that police weren't able to block off all the impassable streets after Sandy roared past.
In Pelham, New Rochelle and Mamaroneck, drivers were seen turning into various roads, only to come up against a huge horizontal oak or sycamore. The result: a quick K-turn and an escape to look for a new route.
From above it might have looked like rats in a maze.
At one New Rochelle intersection, a motorist emerged from one such street and waved off another driver.
"Don't bother," he said. "It's just trees on top of wires on top of water."
Kelvin Redmond, an accountant and associate minister at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Rockville Centre on Long Island, lives two blocks from the water in a three-story split level, but hadn't been able to get back to check on damage because the streets were still impassable.
He spoke on Guy Lombardo Avenue in Freeport. About 100 feet away, a small boat sat in the street.
Ahead of the storm, he shut off all the power and moved his belongings, computers and irreplaceable items like photos to the third floor.
"It looks like it may be a total loss," he said Tuesday. "But I still have my health and strength. I'm also a minister, so I still, it's going to be a good word on Sunday."
Buildings in Battery Park City, in Lower Manhattan, did not lose power or flood. Marcia and Jonathan Keske live in a building in Battery Park City called the Solaire but they found out about the evacuation order too late to leave. She turned on the news and was devastated to learn of all the destruction and loss of lives in other places. They couldn't go to a shelter because they have a sick cat that needs medication.
"I feel guilty," she said. "I didn't do what I was supposed to do, which was evacuate, and yet I've had barely any inconvenience."
In the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan, retired local newspaper publisher Robert Trentlyon and his wife planned to stay Tuesday in their darkened apartment, although their son lives in a nearby complex that generates its own power. The Trentlyons had phone service and running water and they take the stairs to their brownstone apartment, anyway.
He's 83, but "I'm a good 83," he said, planning to grab a flashlight and see whether the building's basement had flooded.
Trentlyon, a former community board activist, has been a vigorous advocate of building storm-surge barriers to protect the city from storms, and he felt the superstorm had made his point.
"I hope the city gets the message," he said.
Danielle DeAngelis, a newlywed, recently moved with her husband into her in-laws' two-story house in Sea Gate, just about 50 yards from the beach. They went farther inland to ride out the storm and returned Tuesday to discover the surging water ripped a huge hole in the back of their house.
"The whole back of the house you can see right through, if you look from the front door, you can see the ocean," DeAngelis said.
Their belongings, from clothes to a piano, were swept out of the house by the water, leaving them to search the streets for mementos.
"We found my in-laws' wedding album from Italy two blocks down, but luckily we found it," DeAngelis said.

Red Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker
Reviewed by 2 customers
Comments about Red Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker:
After years and years of trying to making coffee using crazy college methods that included cups, strainers, filters, lots of pouring and LOTS of time, I finally gave in and bought one of these when they were on sale and I am glad I did.
Comments about Red Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee Maker:
I don't know what all the fuss is about. This is my second press of this type. The first was put on the stove by accident to heat the coffee!!!! Needless to say it was a mess. I grind my coffee a little fine because I like the slurry on the bottom of the cup, and I have never had a grounds problem. After reading the reviews for the black model, I decided to write this. I am ordering a third, as a backup, since they have a special coupon going on right now.

Advanced hard drives clamp mobiles' power drain
Post a comment
The Apple iPod set a trend among portable handheld consumer devices: It was among the first battery-powered MP3 music players to use a microminiature hard drive. That was followed late last year in South Korea by the Samsung SPH-V5400, arguably the first camera phone to make use of a 1.5-Gbyte hard drive. Clearly there is a move toward replacing flash memory with hard-disk drives (HDDs) in portable devices to increase storage capacity in an effort to meet consumer demands for more songs, picture
Low-end cell leans on analog
Post a comment
esigned primarily for the entry-level cell phone user and first launched in Brazil, Kyocera's K112 handset nevertheless supports a fairly rich feature set, including games, calculator, ring tones and an alarm-one of my favorite little extras. On a more technical note, the handset also features an internal antenna-an amazing bit of RF engineering in itself-to bypass all those breakage-prone stubs and whips.

Power-rail integrity a factor below 130 nm
News & Analysis

Traditionally, designers have built supply rails with little concern about current/resistance (IR) drop and electromigration. For earlier technologies at 0.18 micron and above, designers could confidently assume that power rail integrity would at worst remain a secondary cause of silicon failure.
Giving board customers greater flexibility
News & Analysis
Post a comment
Board vendors usually deliver the board with VHDL structures already in place within the FPGA to implement a basic set of operations for control, status, data formatting, triggering, gating and channel selection. Customers who try to insert their own algorithm in the midst of this VHDL code run a very high risk of "breaking" the standard functions and interfaces.
What's with verification IP?
News & Analysis
Post a comment
There is a growing conversation these days about verification intellectual property. A clear analogy to the concept can be drawn from design IP: Use prefabricated building blocks that you can just drop into your flow to perform a predefined function. But instead of becoming blocks of the design itself, verification IP blocks become parts of the testbench used in verification. Like other IP, verification IP can, in theory, be designed for reuse or licensed from third parties.

Attorneys for a Mississippi man accused of beating his girlfriend's toddler to death last year called their first witness this morning at the St. Tammany Parish courthouse in Covington.
Dr. Thomas Young, a paid forensic pathologist from Kansas City, Mo., told the jury that the parish coroner was wrong in determining that 22-month-old Rubie Boland died from trauma to the head.
Authorities allege that 21-year-old Andrew Roberts got angry with his girlfriend's baby when she urinated on herself and he couldn't get her pants off, so he picked her up by her ankles and smashed her head into the floor several times. As testimony began Tuesday in Roberts' second-degree murder trial, prosecutors showed a video taped confession of him describing this incident to a detective.
But Young testified that Rubie suffered from an undiagnosed seizure disorder that caused her to stop breathing on the afternoon of April 1, 2010. Without oxygen, he said, her brain began swelling.
Young, who reviewed hospital records, police reports and the autopsy to reach his conclusions, said that had an injury caused the girl's death, her neck or her skull would have been fractured. They were not; she had no broken bones. Without a fractured skull, he testified, it would be impossible for trauma to have caused the girl's brain injury.
Prosecutor Scott Gardner attacked his position, describing him as an expert-for-hire willing to testify to anything the defense attorney asked him to.

Earlier this week, DWSD issued its own news release, saying the proposed Karegnondi Water Authority pipeline proposal is "rife with financial discrepancies and false assumptions."
The DWSD pipeline claims cited a February report by Tucker, Young, Jackson, Tull Inc. as its source of information.
DWSD claimed the cost of the KWA pipeline "would easily exceed $375 million," far more than the $274 million estimated in reports commissioned by the county.
"The released information grossly overestimates the cost of the KWA, double counting several key costs in engineering, construction, administration and legal fees," the Genesee County statement says.
"The report also completely ignores the fact that if Flint continues contractually with Detroit, it will be forced to absorb costs in maintaining the current 50 year old pipeline that is used to transport drinking water, and eventually pay an exorbitant portion of building a new pipeline built by Detroit, for their own interests."
City of Flint officials have also called the DWSD news release inaccurate.
The Flint City Council is scheduled to vote on whether or not to join in building the KWA pipeline on March 25.
The state of Michigan would also need to approve that endeavor because the state has an emergency manager in charge of Flint's finances.
The Flint Journal could not immediately reach a representative of Tucker, Young, Jackson, Tull for comment.
Bill Johnson, a DWSD consultant, said in an email to The Journal that the agency is "contemplating whether a response is (necessary) considering that Wright's argument is primarily with the Tucker, Young group."

Portable media is about to go to the next level, with Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) today announcing that it's taking pre-orders for Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT ) Portable Media Centers. These gadgets, which will begin to be available as soon as August, allow users to have music, movies, digital photos, and more rendered portable and on the move.
Did Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) miss a key opportunity by limiting its iPod to tunes?
Anyone who's been following the digital music player scene knows that one of the major speculations has been whether Apple would expand its iPod's functionality to download and show movies. Steve Jobs has been quoted as nixing the idea, theorizing that people don't want to watch movies on tiny screens.
To my way of thinking, Jobs may be onto something. Digital movie downloads to personal computers haven't even yet hit the mainstream, though some companies, such as Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX ) and RealNetworks (Nasdaq: RNWK ) are gearing up to try. (For more on the state of movie downloads, check out Seth Jayson's Take on digital movie piracy today.) Motley Fool Stock Advisor pick TiVo (Nasdaq: TIVO ) may very well have the best idea, with its Home Center appealing to mainstream tastes. That is, to allow its users to easily bridge PC to TiVo to the family room TV. That last concept may be the real near-term future of "media centers."
Music, of course, lends itself well to the portable concept, as it's always been a medium that went well with multitasking, such as jogging, working, or reading. Portable movies or television seem a harder sell, since that feature doesn't accommodate many activities that require portability, with the exception of perhaps long subway train commutes or airplane flights.
At any rate, Microsoft's Portable Media Centers, which will be manufactured by Creative Labs, iRiver, and Samsung, will have what could be called a steep price tag of $500 (though, as has often been pointed out, Apple's iPod sported what many mocked as a too-hefty price, and it still became a sensation).
These are key times for digital media, and Apple's got more than its fair share of competition, judging by recent product launches by hungry rivals. In the case of all-inclusive portable digital media, though, Microsoft may be jumping ahead of the times too soon.
Has Jobs been right to focus the iPod on music? Or will Microsoft's portable media solution bring movie downloads mainstream and slow down the iPod's growth? Talk to other Fools about the issues on the Apple and Microsoft discussion boards.

Worst: Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne's performance
Minaj and Weezy's "High School" would get them both expelled: Lil Wayne for sitting on his ass for most of the performance, and Minaj for relying way too much on hers. Minaj proved her commercial clout by taking home a number of awards, including Top Streaming and Top Rap Album, but that seemed to matter very compared to the shock and awe of a lapdance on her duet partner.

10 predictions for the New York Mets in 2012
Said PAPDOG6767:
Duda will become a legit middle of the order bat, and Murphy will lead the league in doubles and again hit over .300. I also agree that Neise become the ace of the staff this year. Eddie, a few things I disagree with you on, mainly number 3. Tejada will be exposed as a punching Judy and will have a tough time cracking a .325 OPB. Reyes will make another AS team and finish top 10 in MVP voting. Oh, Also, Rauch may flop, but Ramirez will be the first guy to take over the 8th inning role. He is very under rated.

The Melancholy Dane & Co.
Orlando, Fla.
The best way to savor the eggheady delights of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," the 1966 play in which Tom Stoppard takes two minor characters from "Hamlet," puts them at center stage and spins an inky-black comedy of existential dread out of their rising befuddlement, is to see it immediately after a performance of Shakespeare's play. No matter how well you think you know the familiar tale of the melancholy Dane and his murderously dysfunctional family, you'll enjoy Stoppard's subtler references all the more for having just revisited the most frequently performed play of all time. To this end, I suggest that snow-weary Northerners hop the next plane to Orlando, where two different companies are putting on productions of "Hamlet" and "R & G" that can be seen on consecutive days or in close succession. If you've had it up to here with the weather, I can't think of a better means of altering your mood.
The Orlando Shakespeare Theater's "Hamlet" looks on paper like a standard-issue high-concept production, transplanted from ancient Denmark to Victorian England. But Richard Width and Bob Phillips, the director and set designer, respectively, have stirred in a cupful of spooky horror-show populism, pumping the stage full of mist and making eye-catching use of a strategically positioned trapdoor. One might almost be watching an unusually literate vampire flick aimed at a youthful audience, an impression reinforced by Avery Clark's flamboyantly physical performance of the title role. Mr. Clark is supported by a finely spoken cast—I especially liked Marni Penning as Ophelia, Steve Hendrickson as Polonius and Eric Zivot as Claudius—and by the sound design of Matthew Given, who has mashed up Brahms, Dvořák, Debussy and Arvo Pärt into a sumptuous sonic backdrop.
All this makes for one of the most theatrically potent "Hamlets" I've seen in a good many seasons, far fresher than last year's Jude Law-powered Broadway production and, I suspect, more accessible to boot. I brought along two friends who'd never seen "Hamlet" and knew nothing about the play beyond the barest of basics. Both found it exciting, absorbing and—most important—intelligible.

As for the youthful masterpiece with which Mr. Stoppard wrote himself into the history of 20th-century theater, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is being performed to similarly fine effect across town by Mad Cow Theatre, a small but ambitious company that specializes in contemporary fare (Tracy Letts's "Superior Donuts" opens there next month). Performed in a black-box theater on a set consisting of seven doors in a curved white wall, this production discreetly underlines the debt owed by Mr. Stoppard to the Samuel Beckett of "Waiting for Godot." Michael Marinaccio and Timothy Williams play the title characters like a cross between Vladimir-and-Estragon and Abbott-and-Costello, which is just right, and equally knowing touches permeate Alan Bruun's staging, in which Christian Kelty stands out as an exceptionally lewd and lascivious Player King. Though it never stints on comedy, this "R & G" is also alive to the play's underlying pathos: You can't forget that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are speeding toward the darkest of all possible encounters.
This was my first visit to Orlando, a city better known for its theme parks than its theater. Rest assured that any weary parent who feels the need for an evening-long break from family fun won't have to look far for an aesthetically stimulating alternative to roller coasters and cartoon characters. To be sure, I wouldn't suggest that you bring the kiddies along to "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," but Orlando Shakespeare's "Hamlet" strikes me as a fine way to introduce a curious tween to the grown-up joys of live theater.
Fort Myers, Fla.
The Pulitzer Prize for drama, like the best-picture Oscar, rarely goes to uncomplicatedly funny plays, but in 1937 the judges made a welcome exception and gave it to "You Can't Take It With You," the George S. Kaufman-Moss Hart comedy about an extended family whose variously eccentric members have all chosen to renounce worldly ambition and (as the saying goes) follow their bliss. A year later Frank Capra's film version knocked down a best-picture Oscar, thereby sealing the original play's long-standing reputation as a classic of American comedy.
Florida Repertory Theatre,
Arcade Theatre,
2267 First St., Fort Myers, Fla.
closes Feb. 26
Alas, the last Broadway revival of "You Can't Take It With You" opened more than a quarter-century ago, and professional productions have become comparatively rare. This is mainly because the play calls for a cast of 19, thus putting it out of the reach of cost-conscious regional companies, though the fact that Capra's film was so portentously windy doesn't help. Not so the Florida Repertory Theatre's festive new staging, which is as light and sweet as fresh-spun cotton candy.
Robert Cacioppo, the company's artistic director, has put together a nicely matched cast, rehearsed them to the hilt, and turned them loose on a set by Richard Crowell that is crammed to the ceiling with junk of every conceivable kind. The results are satisfyingly true to the warm-hearted humor of "You Can't Take It With You," a play that has been more influential than is generally realized (fragments of its comic DNA can be found everywhere from "Harvey" to "The Munsters"). Among many other good things, John West and Christine Perez play the romantic scenes absolutely straight, ensuring that they don't get lost in the general craziness.
The word went out last week that Anna D. Shapiro, who directed the original production of "August: Osage County," will be staging "You Can't Take It With You" on Broadway next season. That's OK by me—the two plays have more in common than you might suppose—but Florida Rep's revival, like the splendid version of Brian Friel's "Dancing at Lughnasa" that the company mounted last year, sets the bar high for all comers.

Question about higher education system to be answered at Stillwater Public Library Feb. 20
MEDIA RELEASE • For Immediate Release
Twitter status: Question about current #HigherEducation system to be answered at @StillwaterOKlib Feb. 20
(STILLWATER, OKLA. / Jan. 24, 2013) —Stillwater Speaks will hold a public forum about higher education Wednesday, Feb. 20, at the Stillwater Public Library. The forum, which begins at 6 p.m., will address whether current higher education systems meet the needs of communities.
"In our forums, education is usually the most frequently suggested method of solving the issues we discuss," said Kimberly Williams, Stillwater Speaks member. "But, we don't always question whether our learning institutions can provide the education we need to solve these community challenges. This forum will explore how higher education should work to best equip and serve our citizens."
Stillwater Speaks forums lead participants through possible approaches to solving a community issue. The group works together to consider advantages and disadvantages of each approach, then a moderator helps group members find areas in which they agree.
"This type of forum allows citizens to learn about and consider viewpoints that are completely different from their own," said Williams. "But instead of trying to change each others' opinions, we use the process to try to find the areas in which actually agree."
The program is free and open to adults and youths 14 and older. Registration is required. To register for the forum, contact the library at (405) 372-3633 or e-mail email@example.com.
Stillwater Speaks is a local partnership of Stillwater Public Library, Stillwater Public Schools, OSU's Edmon Low Library, and Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service. Its sole goal is to promote civic participation and to promote the use of "deliberative forums" as a way to civilly discuss community issues.
For more information, visit the library's website at http://library.stillwater.org or visit Stillwater Speaks website at http://stillwaterspeaks.okstate.edu/.
The Stillwater Public Library is located at 1107 S. Duck St. (the corner of Duck and 12th Avenue). Library events are co-sponsored by Friends of the Library and KOSU.

James A. Watson, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement director, in a Feb. 17 letter, said: "The Obama administration is committed to continuing to expand responsible domestic production and our record speaks for itself." I presume this is to become less reliant on foreign oil and their raising of the price.
One of the Feb. 18 cartoons quotes Steven Chu, secretary of Energy, as saying, "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."
Do Watson and Chu ever speak to each other? Duh.

CHICAGO, IL -- From American Seating to Steelcase, many of West Michigan's office furniture companies are unveiling new products and new concepts at NeoCon 2012, which kicks off this morning.
The three-day trade show at Chicago's Merchandise Mart will draw tens of thousands from national design and architecture firms to see the latest products.
This year's NeoCon may be the most important in recent history.
It's not about unveiling a new product, but rather the office furniture industry coming to a crossroads, said Rob Kirkbride, furniture industry expert. Mobile devices, from laptops to tablets, have broken the tether that tied workers to their desks for decades.
"People can work anywhere. So if that's the case, why would I want to go into the office to work?" said Kirkbride, who covers the office furniture industry for the Chicago-based trade publication Monday Morning Quarterback. "What office furniture companies need to do is create something so compellingly that I would choose it instead of working in a coffee shop or from home."
West Michigan's big three office furniture companies are taking different paths to answer that question, Kirkbride said.
Herman Miller continues to emphasize a heritage of high-style while Steelcase is experimenting with products that feature technology. Pursuing the middle ground is Haworth.
Julie Smith, Haworth spokeswoman, says the Holland-based manufacturer is wary of tying its furniture too closely to technology because it changes so quickly. Devices on desks that hold iPads, for example, can become outdated if a new version of the technology changes size or even switches around where it plugs into a charger.
"You want a balance, because furniture has a lot longer lifecycle than technology," Smith said.
Steelcase, which is introducing several new technology concept products at NeoCon, remains true to its roots by providing human insight into how people work most effectively.
"We want to help the needs of people drive the technology," said Chris Congdon, Steelcase spokeswoman.
Full coverage of West Michigan furniture makers' unveiling of new products at NeoCon 2012, with background on the June 11-13 trade show and live coverage of NeoCon's opening day.
"I think it's going be one of the most important NeoCons, not because of products but where office furniture companies are positioning themselves," said Kirkbride, who began covering those companies as business reporter with The Grand Rapids Press. "There's going to be winners and losers."
Furniture industry analyst Michael A. Dunlap says he doesn't see any indications that the office furniture industry is slowing down.
"It's on a very steady pattern of furniture being sold," said Dunlap, who publishes the results of a quarterly survey of office furniture makers and their suppliers. "It's not growing and it's not shrinking. I would say the industry is in good shape."

A game like that deserves a nearly 3,000 word recap, don't you think?
This late in the season a lot can happen in one day, especially when teams are packed as tightly in the standings as they are in the Western Conference. In a matter of hours we found out Tyson Chandler will be out an additional one to two weeks, the New Orleans Hornets lost at New York, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili were all back on the court together for the first time since the All-Star break and the Denver Nuggets won a thrilling game in Dallas to move into a tie for third in the west and to sweep the Mavericks for the first time in franchise history.
But above all of that, we might have the old Carmelo Anthony. Melo has had some nice games, but overall this season his scoring and efficiency have been a disappointment. In the 12 games following his suspension for refusing to come out of the game against Indiana Melo is averaging 26.8 points a game on 46.5% shooting. What was really encouraging about his 43 point performance, including the game winning layup, was the variety of ways he scored and how he never forced anything.
A big part of Melo's night was he had his jumper going, but he did not rely solely on his midrange shot to score. The best example of not settling for a jumper came in the first quarter when Melo lost control of the ball and had to retreat back to where he was ever with the top of Dallas' three point line. When he picked up the ball there was five seconds left on the shot clock. Under those circumstances almost every player in the NBA would dribble up the floor and launch a three with a second or two left on the shot clock. Melo used that to his advantage as even he probably expected to shoot the three as he was dribbling up the floor and he hesitated at the three point line, took another dribble and hesitated again at the elbow. Those two hesitation moves left him with a wide open lane to the rim as everybody on the court, in the stands and at home on the couch expected him to pull up and shoot. Melo ended up at the rim for an uncontested layup as the shot clock hit zero.
Melo also did a great job posting up. In the first quarter alone I counted five possessions where Melo either posted up or backed his man down. The results of those five possessions were two layups, a short fad away, an assist and a missed jumper where he squared and shot from 15 feet. Dallas was trying to play him straight up, but in the second half they began to double him on the catch when possible.
Melo became much more perimeter oriented in the third quarter taking almost exclusively jumpers, but when Dallas switched to zone Melo was working the middle trying to get Barea or Jason Terry trapped against him in the high post. Dallas did a good job defending that, but it opened up the perimeter for open shots by J.R. and Anthony Carter.
George Karl took Carmelo out for a brief rest with 9:00 left in regulation and the Nuggets holding a 88-80 lead. One minute and 52 seconds later Denver had not scored a point and Dallas had cut the lead down to three. J.J. Barea hit another three to tie it on the next possession. With the score tied Carmelo drove to the basket and missed a runner, but corralled the rebound and put it back in with 6:22 left to give the Nuggets the lead back at 90-88. That would be the only basket the Nuggets scored for a seven minute stretch from 10:52 down to 3:52.
The Nuggets found themselves down 93-92 when J.R. Smith nabbed an Antoine Wright miss, passed out to Chauncey and the Nuggets pushed the ball up the floor. Chauncey directed J.R. to swing behind him and fill the right lane. Barea, one of the two guards at the top of the Mavs 2-3 zone, stuck with J.R. up the right sideline and Terry was occupied with Chauncey on the right side of the floor as he brought the ball up. With Barea out of position and Terry guarding Billups Melo was all alone in the middle of the floor. Chauncey passed over to him and he hit a three giving the Nuggets a two point lead. Those three points were the first of eight Melo would score down the stretch.
The teams traded baskets and free throws when in the final minute Melo drove and earned two free throws to put Denver up two. Then Barea hit another three to put Dallas up one with 23.1 seconds left setting Melo up for yet another game winning shot.
With the Nuggets inbounding the ball on the left side Chauncey threw the ball into J.R. and then he ran across a double screen to the right side and J.R. passed it back to him on the right wing. Kenyon set a screen for Melo to free him up to cut towards Chauncey and run a little screen and roll. Melo set the screen on Chauncey's left and as Chauncey drove to the middle both Mavs stayed with Billups leaving Melo wide open rolling towards the baseline. Chauncey passed to Melo and the Mavs were left scrambling. Melo drive left towards James Singleton who was running at him which used Singleton's momentum against him and he was unable to change directions and stay with Melo. That left Dirk standing like a statue just hoping that Melo missed and he was not called for a foul. On the play J.R. was also set up for a kick out at the top of the circle, Carter was also wide open on the left baseline and both Carter and Kenyon were ready to crash the boards if Melo happened to miss. It was a nice design by Karl.
The Mavs had two chances to tie it and one of them was a pretty good open look by Dirk, but he missed and that left Wright to throw up a desperation 17 foot fade away over Chris Andersen which clanged off the rim and bounced to Melo.
Melo made one of two, possibly missing the second on purpose to allow the clock to run out as the Mavs struggled to fire off a full court shot instead of being allowed to take the ball out and organize a final play (although they were out of timeouts).
The game was not all about offense though. After a shaky first half defending the high screen by Dirk Denver came up with a much better scheme and they really locked down on. The difficult thing about guarding Nowitzki on that high screen is if you trap the ball handler it leaves him wide open, but if you switch he has a guard on him and he simply backs him down and shoots over him.
The Nuggets did mostly switching on him in the first half, but in the second they were much more sound. They trapped the ball handler, but pre-rotated a big up to cover Dirk so he could not receive the pass back. From there the big who trapped the dribbler rotated to cover the player the other big left. They executed it nicely and really took Dirk out of the game. Dirk only scored two points over the final seventeen minutes of the contest.
The Nuggets did indeed finish the three game road trip 2-1 and they won both games without Nene. Now they have probably the easiest remaining schedule of all the teams they are jockeying for position with. They seem have solidified their grip on the Northwest and even if they lose all three games to over .500 teams on the schedule as long as they knock off the six weaker squads they will finish with a 53-29 record. That would force Portland to finish 8-2 and the Jazz 9-2 in order to catch Denver for the division lead. Portland has games remaining against Utah, at Houston, at San Antonio, against the Lakers and then Denver on the last day of the season. Utah must still face Phoenix, play at Portland, at Denver, at New Orleans, at Dallas, at San Antonio and at the Lakers. Four of those games are back to backs and Utah has been terrible in those situations this season.
Before we right Denver into the top spot in the Northwest Division in pen remember the last time Denver was in such a nice position they let their lead slip away with losses to teams like Indiana and Sacramento. However, as Andrew at Denver Stiffs pointed out a few days ago, the Nuggets tend to close seasons out very well. Regular seasons that is.
Additional Game 73 Nuggets
- After Melo hit his three in transition with 3:19 left neither team was able to score for almost two minutes until Barea made another three from the corner with 1:27 left in the game after J.R. left him to double Dirk. J.R. responded by nailing a deep three from the left side just seconds later. That is a shot that J.R. has been criticized for in the past by George Karl. It was a low percentage shot early in the offense, but J.R. was hot and it went in. I guess there is a fine line between disrespecting the game, which Karl accused J.R. of doing in the playoffs two seasons ago against the Spurs resulting in his benching, and being clutch. There was a big difference between the two shots as the attempt in the Spurs game was in the closing seconds and J.R. broke off a play to do it, but I cannot imagine Karl was thrilled when he saw J.R. start in shooting motion last night.
- Carmelo was only credited with one assist, but he made several good passes. On one occasion he hit Petro cutting through the lane. Petro missed the shot, but the pass and cut opened the lane up for Kenyon who followed Petro and slammed the miss home. On another occasion Melo was doubled on the right sideline and he skipped the ball across to J.R. on the left wing. Smith pump faked J.J. Barea who flew past took one dribble in and drained a 19 foot jumper. Once again no assist, but it was another pass that led directly to a hoop.
- The prettiest play of the night was in the middle of the third quarter. Barea ran the high screen with Dirk, Kenyon and Chauncey trapped Barea and pushed him almost out to half court. Petro ran out and covered Dirk removing that option. Barea decided to throw a thirty foot pass to Singleton along the right sideline. Melo picked it off going the other way and when he was confronted by Dirk he bounced the ball to the right and he ran around Dirk to the left. He then capped it off by swishing a jumper from the elbow. It was a great instinctive play and showed how much fun Melo was having.
- The Mavs have n offensive set where the pass the ball to Dampier on the wing and he is asked enter the ball into Dirk in the post. He did OK, but was called for traveling on one occasion. Is he really the guy you want doing that?
- Speaking of Dampier he did not have much of an impact on the game. He did grab four offensive boards, but on two occasions he dribble the ball out and I do not think he made a put back shot on any of them.
- Marlowe called Dahntay Jones "surprisingly effective" from three point range. He has made eight all season. He has been effective the same way Kenyon was early in the season. At this point though I think we all dread seeing Kenyon line up a long bomb.
- Linas Kleiza has played less than eight minutes a game over the past three contests. You can look for that to increase as Denver plays some lesser teams as I think Karl will try to give him minutes to break out of his slump again.
- The Mavs played a lot of zone and it really stymied the Nuggets, especially in the fourth. The Nuggets were stuck on the perimeter and everything was a jumper. I think they missed Nene's post presence in that regard.
- Watching the way they cut and run through their offense it was plain to see Dallas runs their offense much quicker than Denver. Many of the Nuggets cuts are jogs and apart from Birdman, they rarely rush to set a screen.
- Anthony Carter has become pretty adept at throwing alley oop passed off of baseline inbounds plays. He threw another nice one to Birdman for an easy tip in.
- The last play of the first half was beautiful. The Nuggets had a chance to force a fast break, but Kenyon pulled it back out with 12 seconds left preventing them from potentially making a mistake and giving the Mavs the ball back. Chauncey wanted to get it to Melo in the post, but with Drik on him he drove and forced the help to come. That allowed Melo to come open on the baseline. He received the pass from Billups and laid it in at the buzzer.
- There was a possession with about four minutes left in the third quarter where Birdman blocked three shots (somehow he was only credited for one the entire game, but the third one did come after the shot clock had expired. They clearly fired the team up, but none of the three blocks when to Nuggets. Instead of at least trying to deflect the ball to a teammate, he was surrounded by blue jerseys, he sent them back as hard as he could giving the Mavs extra chances. The third one after the buzzer he blocked out of bounds so Dallas would have had another chance had the shot clock not expired.
- I honestly think player shoot better by earning shots. What I mean by that is a three is more likely to go in when you are not forcing it. Sometimes it is the difference between shooting it off a swing pass than off the dribble or without moving the ball first. Earlier I mentioned a play where Melo skipped the ball across the court to J.R. who passed up the three to step in and hit a splashed a 19 footer. Well, two possessions later J.R. received another pass on the same spot on the floor and as soon as he caught it I knew it was going in. He earned the three by not forcing it earlier. I am sure that is a bunch of crap, but I believe it.
- The big shot that started the Mavs comeback came at 8:47 of the fourth with the Nuggets up 88-80. Barea brought the ball up the court and no one even thought about guarding him. He was Carter's man an dI have no idea where AC was. Barea calmly hits the three cutting the lead to five. Less than two minutes later the game was tied.
- The three second vilation on J.R. with 2:07 left in the game was just horrible. He jumped into the lane and landed right before the shot clock changed to four the whistle blew right after the clock switched to two. Plus a shot was going up. It was the fastest three second call I have ever seen.
- I will say something about the refs. Scott Hastings was going nuts at the fact the Mavs shot so many more free throws than Denver, but they earned most of them. There is no rule that both teams need to shoot roughly the same number of free throws. If one team is more aggressive than the other, it is not the referees' problem.
- I loved the game Chauncey played. He tried to hit a couple of Mr. Big Shot threes in the middle of the fourth, but realized his shot was not falling while Melo and J.R. were scorching the nets. Chauncey did not attempt a shot over the final 4:43. He just played defense and passed the ball.
Mindboggling Game Stats
Pace Factor: 84.5 – Very slow thanks to the Mavs' 20 offensive boards and relatively slow developing half court sets.
Defensive Efficiency: 119.5 – The Mavs only shot 35.6%, but the snagged the aforementioned 20 offensive boards and only turned the ball over four times. The four turnovers were a season low surpassing the eight that the Nuggets forced in Sacramento during game 64.
Offensive Efficiency: 121.9 – Thank you 56.0% shooting!

Hi all,
I started crossfit this week and so far have had 3 sessions (2 private, one with 2 other people) to learn the 9 basic movements of CF before starting classes. I have one session left, which will be one on one, and then I'll begin doing WODs with classes. The coaches are very good and are very concerned about proper form, scaling everything so your form stays good, etc. They have explained and demonstrated the moves and even videotaped me on some of the lifts so I could look at my form too.
I'm fine with squatting, deadlift, can do burpees, sit ups, kettle bells (sumo? something), etc. But the other lifts (can't remember all the names... whatever the other CF Oly lifts are) make me feel SO uncoordinated! I get the concept and can watch the instructor do it, I do the progression for the movement fine, but then when I go to do the whole move together (I am talking with just a bar or very light weight or even a PVC pipe), my brain and body do not synch. It's so frustrating! The one where you have to kind of jump to get under the weight - ugh. I just don't do it all together at the right time... or I just curl up with my arms or whatever.
I'm 45, have decent general fitness, but have NEVER lifted weights besides dumbbells in Gillian Michaels workout, and wonder if it's normal -- will I get it? I am willing to be patient and do the work, but I don't understand why I feel so uncoordinated. It sure looks and sounds easy -- just hard for me to put it together w/o looking like a spaz. Today I looked up some videos on youtube - will try to practice at home.
I keep reading and hearing that anyone at any age can do CF but am wondering if some people never "get" the lifts.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
