Hedda Morrison Photographs of China, 1933-1946 http://hcl.harvard.edu/libraries/harvard-yenching/collections/morrison/Raymond Lum, Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard University, USAPrinter-Friendly VersionReviewed by: Michael ChangGeorge Mason University January 2003
This site consists of some 5,000 black-and-white photographs by the German-born photographer Hedda Hammer Morrison (1908-1991) who resided in Beijing from 1933 to 1946. The site is managed by Dr. Raymond Lum, Asian Bibliographer of the Harvard College Library and Assistant Librarian of the Harvard-Yenching Library. The collection documents lifestyles, trades, handicrafts, landscapes, commercial and religious practices, and architectural structures that may have changed or been destroyed over the course of the 20th century. By making these images available online, Dr. Lum has provided an important window into Chinese material culture and social customs during the Republican era (1911-1949).
The introductory page provides a brief overview of the project and important links to the union catalog of visual resources at Harvard known as Visual Information Access (VIA). It also offers biographical and chronological information on Morrison, bibliographies of related materials, and a content list of the 29 thematic albums in which Morrison arranged her photographs.
Of the 29 albums, 21 are arranged according to the specific location at which the photographs were taken, such as "Chung Hai," "Nan-hai," and "Pei-hai" (all imperial gardens in central Beijing); "Fa-hai ssu" (a Buddhist temple in suburban Beijing); and the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven (an imperial state altar in southern Beijing). The titles of the remaining albums are more thematic: "Buddhist nuns album," "Handicrafts albums 1-3," "Street life albums 1-2," etc. There is one album missing from the site: "Temple of Heaven album 2."
Although most of Morrison's album titles make little sense without prior knowledge of China and its cultural geography, they are still useful as a basic frame of reference. The "Contents of the Albums" link provides a more detailed description of each individual album including the number of photographs, the place where they were taken, and the range of subjects captured on film. In order to access more detailed bibliographic records for the 29 albums one must use the "Search VIA" link.
The crudest way to access the collection is to search the VIA catalog using "Hedda Morrison" in the "Name (People and Organization)" field. This search results in a rather unmanageable list of 4,797 hits. To narrow the search to Morrison's 29 albums, simply add a search limit of "album" in the "Title" field of the search engine. Detailed bibliographic information and a comprehensive list of the individual photographs contained within any particular album are accessed by clicking on an album title. Bibliographic records for individual photographs are accessed by clicking on individual photograph titles nested within the album records. Within the bibliographic record for individual photographs is a thumbnail image that enlarges when clicked.
The most obvious limitation of the collection is its regional focus on the greater Beijing metropolitan area and China's northern provinces. There are no photographs of southern or western China, both of which vary greatly in climate, custom, and landscape from the more arid plains of north China. Instructors should make special note of this regional bias when using these photographs.
The VIA is a powerful database that allows for more fine-tuned searches. If one is interested in silk weaving, the tobacco industry, or rickshaw pullers one can limit a search using the terms "silk," "tobacco," or "rickshaw." More specific searches, however, also quickly reveal certain biases and limitations of the collection. For example, despite the fact that these photographs were taken during World War II, there is virtually no reference to soldiers or warfare. Setting a search limit of "soldiers" in the "Anywhere" field yields only 11 photographs — 2 of Japanese soldiers in Jehol and 9 of Chinese soldiers celebrating the Lunar New Year. This is indicative of Morrison's more ethnographic leanings which drew her lens not to the political and social upheavals of war and revolution, but rather to the more mundane and regular scenes of everyday life.
Morrison's photographs evoke a sense of quietude and quaintness. A useful classroom exercise might be to invite students to search for signs of historical change in Morrison's photographs. Another possibility is to juxtapose Morrison's photographs of north China with those images found on the site Shanghai in Images How do the latter site's photographs of the treaty port Shanghai differ from Morrison's? To what can we attribute these differences? Geography and place? Intentions and motivations of the photographer? Addressing such questions would require students to think about the historical and social circumstances surrounding the production of these two archives and to critically engage with photographs, not as simple mirrors onto "reality," but rather as historical sources.

I'm stoked for C-3PX and K-3PX though.
I'm not really that big on astromech repaints... after EE's sets a couple years back, I've had my fill (mostly).I recently customized some oddball looking astromechs though, just for variety.If Hasbro wants to give us some more with really odd shapes heads, then I'm all for it. But what I've seen so far on the build-a-droid idea hasn't impressed me all that much.

/R E P E A T -- Sunwing: tentative agreement for flight attendants/
Feb 16, 2013, 07:30 ET
TORONTO, Feb. 15, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - The union representing 900 Sunwing flight attendants concluded a tentative agreement with the company this morning. The agreement will be submitted to members for a vote following a round of general meetings in March. If accepted, this will be the first collective agreement for Sunwing flight attendants, who voted to join the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) in March 2012.
In early February, the union had raised the possibility of a strike at the end of March. With today's conclusion of a tentative agreement, that scenario has been avoided.
The union will not comment on the details of the agreement until the conclusion of the voting period towards the end of March.
"The union bargaining committee is very pleased to have reached a tentative agreement. We believe that we achieved our objective: the union's first collective agreement, which definitely will improve salaries and working conditions. Of course, the flight attendants will have the final say on what happens next," said Mark Brancelj, president of the union for Sunwing flight attendants, CUPE Local 4055.
"The talks were very productive during the negotiations between February 11 and 15. Both sides demonstrated a clear desire to reach an agreement. The support of the conciliator from the Canadian Ministry of Labour played a significant role," said Caroline Bédard, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) representative for the file.
The union bargaining committee comprises representatives from each of the airline's six bases: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. Negotiations for the first collective agreement began on September 12, 2012. At the company's request, a Ministry of Labour conciliator was appointed on January 2, and the first two days of conciliation were January 17 and 18.
CUPE is Canada's largest airline union. In addition to its Sunwing members, CUPE represents nearly 10,000 flight attendants at a number of carriers, including Air Canada, Air Transat, Calm Air, Canadian North, CanJet, First Air and Cathay Pacific, as well as ground agents at Porter Airlines in Ottawa.
CUPE is the largest union in Canada with 627,000 members working in health, education, municipalities, libraries, universities, social services, public utilities, urban and air transport, emergency services and communications.

2012 Tour Stop #17 - Colorado Pork and Hops ChallengeSeptember 7, 2012
Colorado Pork and Hops Challenge
Grand Junction, CO
It has been a couple of years since we last visited Grand Junction for the Colorado Pork and Hops Challenge. It felt like old times as we pulled into Lincoln Park. The city guys all remembered us and even brought along the special "electrical pigtail" that they built especially for us last time.
Larry and his staff do a wonderful job transforming the open field into a prime party spot for Grand Junction-ites to come out and party! Bill and Barb of Texas Rib Rangers along with Tom and his crew from Montana Q were on hand to vend to the crowd and cook for the contest.
This year, we were set up in a prime spot, right under the lights which illuminated the huge American flag. We were greatly impressed with this year's headliner act, Neal McCoy, who put on a fantastic show for the thousands in attendance.
There were 51 teams competing, including four or five first-timers. Saturday, the event introduced a People's Choice contest, which the crowd really seemed to enjoy. This took away from our crowds early on Saturday, but when they did show up, they were still hungry. We passed out tons of Reser's®, Smithfield® and Castle Wood Reserve® samples. I love talking to folks about the new temperature guideline for pork and they are always happy to hear that it is lower than in the past. Plus, they love the tender juicy sample of 145 degree pork!
As Christine and I visited with teams late on Friday, we got to visit with the team of Hickory Dickory Hog and found out their last name was Shaw, which is Christine's maiden name. We figured they must be related somewhere down the line and we had such a good time visiting. Plus they had real Pepsi, so there has to be a bloodline there somewhere…
Saturday was just as beautiful as Friday was. After turn-ins happened, people started loading into the park for the evening concert. This year's headlining act was Neal McCoy, who certainly put on a fantastic show for the thousands in attendance.
At awards, IAB 30 BBQ won the Chicken category while Smokin' Triggers won Pork. Tom with Montana Q had brought me a couple of brisket slices after turn- in and just as I predicted, he did very well and ended up winning the Brisket category. Jo-Bawb's BBQ won Reserve Grand while Team Enoserve won Ribs and Grand Champion.
What a beautiful weekend of great BBQ and friends we had!

Despite curbs on target killings, CIA to get free hand in Pakistan
The Obama administration is finalising a rule book for target killings but these restrictions will not apply to Pakistan where the CIA will be free to direct drone strikes in Fata.
The classified manual, called a counter-terrorism playbook, sets out stringent rules for targeted killings and details the process of adding names to the so-called kill list.
But it leaves open a major exemption for the CIAs campaign of drone strikes in Pakistan, The Washington Post reported yesterday.
The CIA would have this freedom for less than two years but more than one because its drone strategy had been very effective in weakening pro-Taliban militants, the Post reported.
The CIA is expected to give the US ambassador to Pakistan advance notice on strikes. But in practice, the agency exercises near complete control over the names on its target list and decisions on strikes.
But once the CIA achieved its targets in Fata, the rule book would also be applied to Pakistan, the Post reported.

Been there so many times Paul.
In my opinion it all boils down to fear.
The fear of not being perfect (in our eyes, not to others) keeps us locked down.
The Web is inheriting the properties of life.
In other words, the same rules that apply to our lives and relationships are passed (from us) to Web, since we want the web to evolve to what we call "life" nowadays..

Torvalds has indeed chimed in on the micro vs. monolithic kernel debate. Going all 1992, he says: "The whole 'microkernels are simpler' argument is just bull, and it is clearly shown to be bull by the fact that whenever you compare the speed of development of a microkernel and a traditional kernel, the traditional kernel wins. The whole argument that microkernels are somehow 'more secure' or 'more stable' is also total crap. The fact that each individual piece is simple and secure does not make the aggregate either simple or secure. And the argument that you can 'just reload' a failed service and not take the whole system down is equally flawed." My take: While I am not qualified to reply to Linus, there is one thing I want to say: just because it is difficult to program, does not make it the worse design.

PERTH, Australia, June 9 (UPI) -- It is the stuff of Hollywood horror films. Not long after Australian marine biologists tagged several great white sharks, they found one of the tracking devices washed ashore.
The device offered insights into its previous owner's last moments alive -- a recorded plunge of more than 2,000 feet and a giant uptick in measured temperature. It was evidence that the shark had likely been attacked, killed and eaten -- the temperature increase a result of the tracker spending time inside the intestines of another predator.
But what could kill and eat a nine-foot great white shark? A vicious deep sea monster?
Now, a new documentary suggests the only logical answer is that the shark was eaten by another shark -- a shark scientists are calling a "colossal cannibal great white shark" -- sounds adorable. A portion of the film is available on YouTube.
The documentary, "Hunt for the Super Predator," produced by the Smithsonian Institute and ABC, contends that the tracking device data supports the theory of a cannibalism, or at least a big great white bully.
That bully, scientists estimate, was roughly 16 feet in length and tipped the scales at more than 2 tons.
As film reviewer and science writer for Gismodo Australia, Casey Chan, concluded of the doc: "Finally it settled on a hypothesis that makes the most sense to me. Big sharks eat little sharks."

Car Review
2012 Ford Explorer: New Car Review
Pros: Good fuel economy with EcoBoost engine; excellent interior; stylish exterior; numerous high-tech features; IIHS Top Safety Pick
Cons: Snug third-row seat; narrow side windows; limited towing ability; AWD not available with EcoBoost engine
If you've owned a Ford Explorer anytime over the past 20 years, the 2012 model will seem completely alien to you. The old Explorer was a truck-based body-on-frame SUV with a weak V6, a crude ride and a thirst for fuel. The newest model, introduced in 2011, employs a unit body, a sophisticated suspension setup and a line of powerful yet fuel-efficient engines. About the only thing the new Explorer gives up over the previous truck-based design is its tow rating, which drops from 7,000 to 5,000 pounds.
Beyond its stellar good looks, sleek design and ultra-luxurious high-tech interior, the 2012 Explorer separates itself from other mid-size SUVs with its turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine. Available only on two-wheel-drive models, the EcoBoost is as powerful as most V6 engines yet delivers impressive fuel economy figures close to 30 mpg.
The seven-passenger Explorer may not be as roomy as a minivan or even some of its slightly larger GMC and Chevrolet rivals. But in the evolution of the modern SUV, this Explorer takes top honors for design, features and value.
Comfort & Utility
The Explorer's interior is so handsome and well equipped that one might easily mistake it for a Land Rover or BMW interior. High-quality materials abound, and the modern dash with optional Ford SYNC and MyTouch controls make it easier and safer to operate a cell phone or iPod while driving. The Explorer's front and second-row seats are nicely padded. The front seats offer good leg and lower back support, although we would like to see the passenger's seat on the base model equipped with adjustable lumbar support, which you can get on the XLT and Limited models. The first two rows are more than adequate for adults, but the third-row seat is on the smaller side and best suited for kids with short legs. The Explorer's second row has standard 60/40 split bench seats. The optional captain's chairs have a small pass-through that makes it easier to reach the third-row seat. With the third row folded flush into the floor, the Explorer offers a generous cargo hold. But with the seat in place, there is room for little more than a few gym bags or some groceries.
Noteworthy standard equipment on the base Explorer trim includes air conditioning with rear climate control, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel with controls for cruise and audio, AM/FM/CD with six speakers and an auxiliary audio input jack and shaded privacy glass. The XLT adds a media hub with USB port, a reverse sensing system, keypad entry, heated side mirrors and a wide range of upscale options such as leather seating and navigation. The Limited includes leather seating, SYNC and MyFord Touch, heated front seats, power adjustable pedals, dual-zone automatic temperature control and a 390-watt Sony sound system.
Technology is the 2012 Explorer's strength. Beyond the SYNC information and entertainment system and the Sony audio controls, the Explorer can be equipped with Ford's MyTouch configurable instrument display. MyTouch uses two configurable LCD screens, one on each side of the speedometer, that display various functions, as well as a large screen in the center stack for organizing cell phone, iPod, climate control and navigation functions via voice command. When equipped with the optional Navigation and Sirius Travel Link, the Explorer can help you avoid traffic jams, alert you to weather conditions, report on sports scores and movie times and locate the cheapest gasoline in town. You can even add a Wi-Fi mobile hub for accessing the Internet.
When equipped with optional all-wheel drive, the Explorer's sophisticated Terrain Management System features four settings: Normal, Mud/Ruts, Sand and Grass/Gravel/Snow. The system varies throttle response, torque bias to the front and rear wheels and traction control based on the setting you select.
Other technology features of note include Intelligent Cruise Control (which keeps a safe distance from traffic ahead), BLIS blind spot detection system, a backup camera, a power folding third-row seat, a power rear liftgate, active park assist (which parallel parks the vehicle for you), Intelligent Access with push-button start, heated and cooled front seats and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with dual screens mounted behind the front seat's head restraints.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The 2012 Explorer's standard engine is a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. When so equipped, the front-wheel-drive version earns an EPA estimated 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway; AWD models get 17/23 mpg. Optional for front-wheel-drive models is the 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine that pumps out 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque while returning a class leading 20/28 mpg. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
The 2012 Ford Explorer is equipped with numerous airbags including front, front side impact and side curtains covering all three rows. Optional on the XLT and Limited are inflatable rear-seat outboard seatbelts intended to cushion occupants from injury in an accident; they're compatible with child safety seats.
Standard safety equipment includes four-wheel ABS; electronic traction and stability control; Trailer Sway Control; Curve Control, which helps control the car when going into curves too fast; and Hill Start Assist, which keeps the vehicle from rolling backward when stopped on a steep incline.
The 2012 Explorer performed very well in both government and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing. It was given the IIHS's Top Safety Pick rating.
Driving Impressions
The Explorer feels solid and well connected to the road. Steering is firm and accurate, and the vehicle moves through curves with the ease and stability of the best sedans. From the driver's seat, however, the Explorer feels larger than it is, mainly due to the narrow side glass and the thick front and rear pillars, which impede visibility somewhat.
The 3.5-liter engine has no problem moving the Explorer, with good low-end power and a transmission that responds quickly when more power is demanded. We like the V6, but its fuel economy, especially around town, can be disappointing. Much more to our liking is the 2.0-liter EcoBoost, which gets much better fuel economy and has more torque than the V6. Torque is the force needed to move an object quickly from a standing start or when overtaking slower traffic. Unfortunately, the EcoBoost engine is not available with the AWD model, something we hope Ford will rectify on the 2013 Explorer.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Traverse - The Traverse has more front legroom and more cargo space behind its third-row seat. But the Traverse doesn't offer the strong mileage of the EcoBoost engine, and its navigation and information and entertainment technology options are not as robust.
Dodge Durango - The Durango offers roughly the same interior space as the Explorer, but it can be equipped with a Hemi V8, and it can tow more weight.
Honda Pilot - The Honda Pilot is great for resale and reliability, but the Explorer offers more headroom and legroom, a more luxurious and content-rich interior and better fuel economy with the EcoBoost engine.
AutoTrader Recommends
Unless you really need the Explorer's advanced AWD system, we think a nicely equipped XLT with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the way to go. There are enough traction and stability controls to help the front-wheel-drive Explorer tackle most snow and ice situations, and you can outfit the XLT with most of the Explorer's more appealing options and still get out the door for less than $40,000.

The first Global knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada whose task was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts. With an almost unlimited budget he set out to fashion a series of kitchen knives which would appeal to the professional and amateur chef alike, be comfortable and easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements.
Global knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize CROMOVA 18 molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 -- resulting in a long-lasting razor sharp edge which resists rust, stains, and corrosion.
Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure an excellent balance in the hand. The smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps, offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene.
Global knives are favored today by many high ranking chefs in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants and are featured regularly on television cooking shows in the hands of the most celebrated chefs.

Some people wearing business attire and hardhats (and winter coats) put shovels in the ground the other day in Nashville, Tenn. This is a telltale sign the Nashville Sounds are getting a new triple-A ballpark.
The people who operate the Las Vegas 51s want you to know that.
The New Nashville Ballpark — which hasn't yet been named after some huge corporate entity — will replace the Old Nashville Ballpark. The Old Nashville Ballpark also was called Herschel Greer Stadium. It was named for Herschel Lynn Greer, a prominent Nashville businessman and the first president of the Nashville Vols minor league baseball club. (Not a huge corporate entity.)
Herschel Greer Stadium opened in 1978.
The people who operate the Las Vegas 51s want you know that, too.
Beacuse when the New Nashville Ballpark opens next year, it will make Cashman Field, which opened in 1983, the second-oldest ballpark in the Pacific Coast League.
You could make the argument that Cashman Field is the oldest-standing ballpark in the PCL, because although Cheney Stadium, home of the Tacoma Rainiers, opened in 1960, it recently underwent a $30 facelift, which is more than Bruce Jenner paid for his.
And I think the people who operate the Las Vegas 51s want you to know that, too. (The part about Cheney Stadium getting a facelift. Not the part about Bruce Jenner.)
If I had to guess, they probably would want you to know the New Nashville Ballpark is being built with public money.
Last May, the 51s went public with plans for a new $88 million ballpark that would be built adjacent to the Red Rock hotel-casino in Summerlin. The new owners of the 51s would like to build the New Summerlin Ballpark with public money.
This is why you haven't heard much about The New Summerlin Ballpark since it was announced in May.
Unlike in Nashville, people wearing business attire and hardhats (and coats) have yet to put shovels in the ground. Not even close.
Because when it comes to public money and ballparks and stadiums, people around here who pay taxes are like people in New York when you mention A-Rod. They don't want to hear it.

Earhart the mystery
By: Noah M.
Illinois, Age 11
What happened to Amelia Earhart? Well I think that she was on her journey and she landed in Japan and the Japanese kidnapped her and then they killed her. I think that because why would the Japanese just kidnap her and then let her go? I think that they kidnapped her and then brought her to Saipan, Island where she was found dead. Another thing that I think happened to her is, that the pilot was drinking to much before they were going on there journey and then the pilot crashed the plane or the pilot didnt check the gas when they were leaving? So maybe the plane ran out of gas. She wanted to go on this journey so she could prove to the women and men that the women can do just as much stuff as the men. After the crash Amelia Earharts body was found dead by a women who lived in Saipan, Island

His Wife was Florence Elizabeth Cole and they were married in Hardy, West Virgina. On the Marrage record it has Groom George Washington and Wife Florence Cole, but The only information I was able to Obtain about his parents was Mother Margert Sellers and Father unknown. I did find a record though on a Rosa Mae Sellers marring a George Washington Cain in 1891.
Aslo a census with George H cain and Rosa Mae Sellers. I don't know if this is George washington sr and if Rosa Mea is aka Margeret Sellers because I cant find the kids listed under the parents on any censu.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes across the globe to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
What to do with Kobe? | Can the Knicks be fixed? | Disappointing should-be contender?
VIDEO: Kobe Bryant on his rehab work, comeback plans and more
Say you're a Lakers fan or a Lakers front-office type … Is there any reason for Kobe to come back this season?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: The No. 1 reason I want Kobe Bryant back this season — whether I'm a Lakers' employee, an NBA fan or a blog-stained wretch — is I'm sick and tired of the Father Time cliché. To heck with that old bastard's undefeated record. If anyone is ornery and driven and talented enough to kick his white-bearded butt, it's the Black Mamba. Bryant has a burning desire to play sooner, not later. He's got some serious all-time positioning to boost (fourth in points and FGAs, third in FTs, etc.) and, at 35, a finite number of games remaining to do so. Then there's that ring total, which won't change for him this spring … but you can be the one to tell him that. Finally, in this revenue-sharing NBA, TV ratings matter, no team's more so than the Lakers. Kobe's return and ramp-up to lethalness is a mini-series rave waiting to happen.
Fran Blinebury, NBA.com: If you're Kobe, the only reason to come back this season is because you're Kobe. You're 35 years old, time is running out quickly on your career and you don't give up a year. Ever. Maybe you won't win a championship this season, or even come close, but you can take another step toward reinforcing your reputation and cementing your legacy as the toughest guy in the game today. And you love that.
Jeff Caplan, NBA.com: It isn't in Kobe's DNA, but stay away, take the year off. This has all the makings of San Antonio Spurs circa 1996-97. You remember, The Admiral got hurt, the Spurs tanked and a few months later they drafted Tim Duncan and changed the course of NBA history. Or this could be another in a long line of Lakers maneuverings/good luck to land a franchise-anchoring player like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Mamba. Can you imagine Kobe tough-loving rookie Andrew Wiggins? L.A. is so desperate for that next superstar, but it isn't happening in free agency. The draft, this draft, is the way to go. So Kobe, keep strengthening that Achilles, but no reason to put it into action until training camp 2014 when the Mamba turns Mentor.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: Kobe's answer is the easy one: Yes, absolutely, definitely, for sure. He's not getting any younger and the chance to play with a lottery team is still the chance to keep playing. The Lakers front office also wants him back this season. They have offseason decisions to make, so it is valuable to see how the many free agents in waiting are able to play with him, worth considering moving forward. Management also has to get a read of where Kobe is physically as they talk about a new contract with him. The fans? Probably. While they see the value in ping-pong balls, there is also something to be said for the answer from Kobe himself. It's a chance to see one of the greats before he is off the court for good.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com:If he's healthy, he should play. If he's not, he shouldn't. Pretty simple. The Lakers aren't going to make the playoffs either way, but I don't think you're going to keep Kobe off the court if he feels he can play. I'm sure Lakers fans would rather watch him gun for MJ's spot on the all-time scoring list than go through a full 82 games of Nick Young and Wes Johnson. And since he's getting paid more than $30 million, it would be nice if he earned some of it.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: This is blasphemy! A question like this could get you punched in the mouth in certain parts of Los Angeles and Southern California. Lakers fans always want as much Kobe as they can get. He's the heart and soul of the franchise. Of course, you want him to come back, even if the Lakers are completely out of the playoff picture when he does return. He's the reason Lakers fans pay all of that money to attend games at Staples Center and the same reason fans around the globe identify with the team despite having never set foot in Hollywood. The front office needs to him to come back so they can shop him and the franchise as an ideal future destination for the free-agent class of the 2014. A recovered Kobe is a priceless visual aide. Kobe clad in one of his designed suits all season does nothing for the Lakers' cause. Do you even want Kobe to come back this year … blasphemy!
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: I've thought all along that the only reason for Kobe to rush back and attempt to play before he's one-million percent healthy and confident would be to help the Lakers if they were a playoff team. Sure, we are still way early in the season, but it looks as though the Lakers don't have the firepower to be a contender, and probably not a playoff team, either. If I'm a Lakers fan I tell Kobe to take a year off and get healthy, try and trade Gasol for a first round pick, and then next season have two blue chippers to learn from the league's greatest competitor.
Davide Chinellato, NBA.com Italia: What a Lakers fan thinks: I want Kobe to come back as soon as possible. We can still turn this season around and be the usual Lakers. What the Lakers front office thinks: We should figure out a way to convince Kobe to sit out the entire season. The 2014 Draft is so talented, and we have a lot of money to invest in the free agency. We'll be back as strong as ever next year and our team will have a bright future. What (I think) Kobe Bryant thinks: I'm out to prove everybody I'm the best ever. I'll play tomorrow.
Stefanos Triantafyllos, NBA.com Greece: Kobe is the Lakers. And the Lakers are Kobe. Even if in a mediocre season, the return of the "Black Mamba" could spice things up and give the Lakers' fans a reason to embrace the team onces again. Also, Kobe is now 35. He will not get any younger. He has some good games left in him. I am pretty sure he can beat the achilles injury, but nobody, N-O-B-O-D-Y, can defeat time.
Philipp Dornhegge, NBA.com Germany: Honestly, I'm not one for the tanking thing. If a player is healthy, he should play. And play to the best of his abilities and to win every game. I'm pretty sure Kobe thinks the same way, and the Lakers management won't be able to do anything about it. And it's not all that bad. I'm convinced the Lakers won't make the Playoffs either way, and despite the fact that they might miss out on Wiggins, Randle and Parker they'll still get a lottery pick, i.e. a good player. Also: They're the Lakers, they can always get better through free agency. And for Kobe: He's only 675 points behind MJ. Catching the GOAT would certainly soften the blow for an otherwise lost season.

DELAND, Fla. _ The best time for everything to click for a team is during tournament time.
The Bisons, the No.1 seed, entered the 30th annual Atlantic Sun Conference Baseball Championship here, losing eight of their last 15 regular season games. Two of those losses were to Campbell, the No. 6 seed, in two of the final three games of the season.
But Wednesday morning the regular season didn't mean very much here at Melching Field at Conrad Park, home of the host Stetson Hatters. The Bisons made one out and then went on a hitting and scoring binge with 17 hits, one short of the season game high, and a season-high 14 runs in a 14-0 win over Campbell.
The Bisons are 29-27 overall. Campbell fell to 20-36.
They scored three runs in the first, five in the second and one in the fourth. They added five more in the eighth.
"We couldn't ask for a better start than that," said Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand. "The bats and the pitching all came together. Whether it was 14-0 or 1-0 we will take it. We have to take that into Thursday."
The Bisons not only had their bats working overtime, but pitchers Rex Brothers and Charles Williams combined for a two-hit shutout.
Brothers, a sophomore left-hander, put in what may have been his best performance of the season, throwing a one-hitter through 6 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and two walks. Brothers raised his overall record to 3-5 with the performance.
"Rex was sharp," said Lipscomb pitching coach Lantz Wheeler. "He was prepared. He threw three pitches for strikes.
"Even when he got down a little bit he didn't get rattled. He kept competing. That is one of his strong suits. Whenever he can locate his fastball like that he is going to give anybody trouble."
Brothers leads the A-Sun in strikeouts, but he has struggled at times on the mound this season.
"This year he just has so many expectations on him because of his successful year as a freshman," Forehand said. "He put a little undo pressure on himself. He thought he had to perform at higher level every time out.
"Rex had really pitched well in his last few games before the tournament, but he didn't have a lot to show for it. He always gives us a solid performance. We want him to pitch and not feel like he has to strike out every batter."
Charles Williams closed out the game, also allowing only one hit in 2 2/3 innings. Williams walked one and struck out one.
"Charles did a great job," Wheeler said. "He is another guy who can throw the fastball and locate three pitches. "
All 13 of the Bisons RBI, also a single-season high, were driven in by the No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 hitters. Designated hitter Justin Sanders led the way with five runs batted, tying a season high set April 1 by Jared Picchiottino against Middle Tennessee State in a 13-6 win. Sanders drove in three runs with a bases loaded double and two runs with a home run, his seventh of the season.
"We have been able to put up some runs on several occasions this year," Forehand said. "That's always something you hope shows up every time."
The Bisons have been a strong hitting team all season. Sanders and center field Allen Bolden each had three hits for the Bisons. Only one Bisons player failed to get a hit. Catcher Caleb Joseph scored four times, a new season game high.
Sanders had two doubles moving him to 21 for the season. Bolden's one double gives him 20 overall.
"When Justin squares balls up like that he has a good opportunity to drive in some runs," Forehand said. "He is a strong kid. When he picks out the right pitch he has the power."
The win was the first for the Bisons in tournament play. Since 1981 four teams have won the A-Sun Tournament Championship after having never won a game in previous conference tournaments. The last team to do it was Jacksonville in 1999.
The win moves the Bisons into the second round Thursday at 2. All games can be seen on A-Sun TV.

Convicción Furtiva (Eng.: Furtive Conviction), also known as ConFurtiva, was Mexico's first ever furry convention. It was held on 22-23 November 2008, in the city of Xochitepec, Cuernavaca, Mexico, approximately 50 miles south of Mexico City.
ConFurtiva, much like ConFuzzled in the UK, was a limited admission convention with a maximum occupancy of 70 attendees; a group photo shows 26 attendees. It was organized by ConFurMex. The event was intended to occur in future years, but this did not happen.
According to Cryn, the name of the convention, "Convicción Furtiva" was chosen by ConFurMex because "we stand close to the belief that it requires conviction to stand up and be what you decided to be. In this case, conviction to associate yourself to the term 'furry'." The naming is also a case of Spanish wordplay, with the significant reduction in immediate meaning when the name is roughly translated to English.[1]
Conviction Furry Mexico was the first furry convention organized in Mexico themed to those whom are interested in anthropomorphism. It was a group of like-minded people, with a vision that in order to be "something" requires a strong conviction; conviction by being loyal to yourself and to those that walk by your side.
The goal of ConFurMex was to be an annual convention in Mexico that gathers all those who have the pride of recognizing themselves as "furry".
Payment and registration[edit]
Registration for ConFurMex was conducted via email or fax, with payment made in Mexican Pesos. There were three "packages" available for the convention.
- Package A; for registration before August 8, 2008 − MX$720 (US$72 approx)
- Package B; for registration before November 10, 2008 − MX$800 (US$80 approx)
- Package C; for sponsors − MX$910 (US$91 approx)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Junior attacker Dean
Gibbons and sophomore midfielder Terry White were each named to the
All-Ivy League second team, according to an announcement made
Tuesday by the conference office. In addition, senior
defender Ben Smith earned All-Ivy League honorable mention.
Gibbons, a native of Garden City, N.Y., led Harvard with 41 points, 14 assists and six man-up goals. He ranked second in the Ivy League in scoring and stood second on the Crimson and fifth in the conference with 27 goals. Gibbons scored multiple goals in nine of 12 games this spring, including a season-high five in Harvard's 16-6 win over Canisius Feb. 27. An NEILA Preseason All-New England selection, Gibbons tallied two man-up goals at Cornell April 10 and scored the game winner in the Crimson's 11-8 victory over Colgate March 16.
White, who hails from Summit, N.J., scored 13 goals and dished out six assists for 19 points, ranking fourth on the team in scoring. White was tabbed to the Inside Lacrosse National Team of the Week March 16 after scoring three goals and adding an assist in the Crimson's 14-13 win at Massachusetts March 13. He had a four-goal performance against Brown March 20 and netted the game-winning tally against Holy Cross March 6. In addition, White grabbed 12 ground balls and caused four turnovers this spring.
Smith, who started nine of the 10 games he appeared in, collected 24 ground balls, good for fifth on the team. A native of Longmeadow, Mass., he caused nine turnovers, tied for most on the Crimson, including a season-best three in Harvard's 13-11 victory against Dartmouth March 27. Smith also had a scoring touch, finding the back of the net against Canisius and Georgetown March 3.

After the scuttled nomination of Susan Rice and rumblings about stopping Chuck Hagel's, it looks as though a Senator may actually pull out their one big "check and balance" gun and put a hold on an Obama nominee. Rand Paul has announced to the world that he will block the nomination of John Brennan to run the CIA until he gets a satisfactory answer on drone policy.
Paul, who is not even on the Senate committee that questioned Brennan last week, says he was not happy with Brennan's response after being directly asked if a drone could be used to kill an American citizen on U.S. soil. In a statement to Politico, Paul said "You would think the notion of that is so bizarre and absurd that he would immediately say no." He also told USA Today on Wednesday that he think Brennan ducked the question and "I find that very, very worrisome (and) we're going to do whatever it takes to get the answer." Paul even mentioned the issue in his Tea Party response to the State of the Union last night.

Following his bliss
Andrew Pham ('11) is piling up the academic laurels in writing and music
By Harry Atwood ('87)
June 1, 2011: Andrew T. Pham, a piano performance/music composition major from Fairfax, Va., won a 2011 Phi Kappa Phi Graduate Fellowship and $5,000 award. Each year, the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi awards 57 fellowships of $5,000 to top scholars across the United States. During his undergraduate career at JMU, Pham racked up the academic laurels. He twice won first prize in JMU's Write On! Academic Writing Contest. His was also honored by faculty in the School of Music who chose him for the prestigious Presser Scholarship, an award given to the outstanding junior in the School of Music.
Author/philosopher Joseph Campbell famously advised people in search of a fulfilling life to live by the credo "Follow your bliss." Andrew Pham seems to have known that little secret since high school, and it has served him well. His love of music led him to JMU, and now this honors scholar can look back proudly on a long list of accomplishments in the classroom, on stage and in the growing collection of his original compositions.
Pham meets me in the Music Building on a spring afternoon. He is wearing jeans and a dark blue blazer over a T-shirt and a pair of bright green Pumas. He carries himself with a quiet ease, walking smoothly. When he speaks, he is equally poised.
Passion for piano develops
He began playing the piano at the age of 6, and although he always showed great promise, his focus shifted as he developed other interests in high school such as Wushu — a martial art popularized by Jackie Chan and Jet Li. His passion for this exotic sport led to a journey to China where he studied and trained for three and a half weeks. Though he has little time for such training now, he remains fond of this performance art.
Not until his return to the United States and his senior year in high school did his passion for the piano kick back into high gear. First he attended a music technology camp at the University of Michigan and soon thereafter began taking lessons from inspirational teacher Victoria Wyatt in Annandale, Va., who rekindled Pham's love of the piano and his gift for composition. "She saw a spark in me," Pham says. "She showed me things about the piano that really made me admire the art of performance." With the same fervor that took him to China, Pham turned his attention and energy toward applying to colleges with strong music programs.
As he began the application and auditioning process (he applied to eight schools and directly to JMU and George Mason's music programs), he worried that his hiatus from serious study might hinder his chances of getting into a strong program. "Man, I was so far behind," reflects Pham. "My ear was pretty good, but I didn't have the chops or the repertoire as most people who have been doing it all their lives." Still, he auditioned well.
Focus on performance and approachable faculty
Accepted to several schools and spoiled for choice, Pham chose JMU and the School of Music for its focus on performance and the approachability of the faculty. "I got such a positive feeling from the music professors," he recounts. "After my audition, Dr. Eric Ruple came up and talked to me and said, 'I think this would be a good place for you to come.'" It was a heartfelt invitation that Pham gladly accepted.
Ruple was right. JMU turned out to be a great fit. Pham gushes about the program and the faculty. "The teachers here are incredible resources. They're people really interested in teaching."
One thing Pham didn't expect was the range of opportunities that have come his way as a result of his commitment to his studies. "JMU gave me my first meaningful long-term job as the music theory tutor for the School of Music, which was a great professional opportunity," Pham says. "I had my share of leadership experience during my sophomore and junior years. I was first secretary and then president of the Keyboard Association." Through these offices he gained experience organizing a concert fundraiser and a trip to the Steinway factory in New York.
Last fall, Pham was approached by dance major Kelsey Hickson ('10) to write a piece based on Maternidad (a Pablo Neruda poem). Even though he was given only a week and a half to complete the composition, Pham accepted the challenge and gained valuable experience writing music to fit both the mood of the poem and Hickson's choreography. Pham confesses to the pressure he felt going down to the wire: "I was panic stricken. I finished right before the recording. In the end, the collaboration was one of my most gratifying experiences at JMU."
Learning to be a performer has been a blessing for Pham as well as his audiences at local churches, retirement homes, music festivals and his senior recital in May. "It's what makes me want to go to school. It doesn't even strike me as work, and it's all about learning."
Scholarship win validates hard work
Through all of this enjoyment in an art he cherishes, Pham has garnered plenty of academic laurels. He has taken first prize twice in JMU's Write On! Academic Writing Contest. His most notable academic honor came in the form of the Presser Scholarship — a prestigious award voted on by the faculty and given to the most outstanding junior in the School of Music. The $4,800 scholarship was a welcome surprise: "I remember shaking when I got that e-mail. It was confirmation that hard work pays off."
Of course, scholarships are important to more people than the recipients. For JMU donors, giving to scholarships provides a chance to build a brighter future by investing in the people who will shape it — people like Pham, an honors scholar and composer who's following

Even with this being only January, the Clippers and Oklahoma City were fully aware that the best record in the NBA was at stake when they played Tuesday night at Staples Center.
For the Clippers, it meant having to play with Chris Paul sitting out because of a bruised right kneecap.
Not having Paul for this encounter was too much for the Clippers to overcome, especially with the Thunder going off from three-point range during a 109-97 victory.
"Obviously, we didn't have our general out there," Clippers Coach Vinny Del Negro said about missing Paul. "But that's no excuse. We've still got plenty of guys. We gave up too many threes, especially in the second half."
The Clippers have had problems much of this season defending three-pointers, and it was no different against the Thunder.
Oklahoma City made 55.6% (15 for 27) of its three-pointers, 64% (11 for 17) in the second half.
That was one reason for the loss, which left the Clippers (32-11) with the third-best record in the NBA.
They are 11/2 games behind the league-leading Thunder and a half-game behind the San Antonio Spurs.
Another big reason for the loss was the play of Kevin Durant.

Actually i read that he was her master, but not necessarilly medium, maybe he just wound them up but didnt make the contract. He doesnt seem to have the ring(although it could be argued that this was simply not shown), and i cant see an old man having the strain of supplying a doll with power...even tomoe/jun had problems with it at the start. Also Souisei Seki seems really weak in the anime...she doesnt seem as strong as the dolls who had mediums.

As to the anime, I never thought anything contrary to the fact that the old man was her medium. Perhaps it's not expressly stated (I really don't recall, it's been awhile since I've watched it)...but I think the implications are clear enough.

I got many questions about technical aspect (I hope they werent answered before ;x I read the thread but didnt see anything).
1) What determine if they can fly or not? In battle, you see them fly around easily in both dream world, N-field and real world, but in other scene, they forget this ability. I'm talking about scene like the one at the end of the 2nd season, when Kanaria is slowly "climbing" the tree to escape, or when Shinku is stuck on the needle of the clock in Sousei seiki's master's dream world? Same could be said about episode like the one where Hina is trying to mail a letter.
I guess I can understand them not using their power in comedy/daily situation assuming "flying" drain a lot of energy, but it's weird to see them not use it when they are in danger. I supose its just inconsistency, unless I'm missing something.
2)Why did Jun had to make a pact with Shinku? Well, my question is, why Suigin Tou sent the clown to attack him? She indirectly forced Shinku to make a pact with him, than spent 3 episodes at the end of the season trying to get ride of Jun to beat Shinku.
3) What exactly is the purpose of the fairy (forgot how they call it) all 7 Maidens have? Why did Suigin Tou went through the trouble to steal both when they don't seem to have much impact on anything (she could have stolen their Rosa mystica in that scene instead). I assume they act as some sort of power amplifier for shiny special attack, but beside that, I don't understand what they do.
Also, how did Sousei Seiki lose her in episode 8-9?
4) What god should I pray for a 3rd reason, and where should I check for quick news to see if my prayer were answered? Also, is there any new development with the manga, or it's still canceled with no hope to see the rest X_x?

2. Shinku made a pact with Jun so he could use Jun's power. Rozen Maiden's need mediums. Is how they get their extra power. If Suigintou got rid of Jun Shinku would get weaker.
3 Those fairy things are called Roza Mysticas. THe point of the ALice is game is to collect them. If one Maiden has them all they become ALice. THat's every Maiden's goal.

2nd question was more like "Why did Suigin Tou sent the weak clown after Jun in the first episode, forcing them to make a pact?" It make little sense to get ride of him at that time.
The roza mystica is the jewel that come out their chest when they die, not the small fairy thing. In the anime, they say something like "So, this is a Rosa mystica" when Sousei Seiki die, implying they havent seen one yet, or it's something rarer than the "fairies". The rosa mystica also carry the memory/emotion of the doll, while the "fairy" are used only as a weapon/tool

About the only one I feel confident in answering is the faerie question. Since Suiseiseki/Souseiseki's faeries allowed them to enter the dream world, Suigintou uses them to move through people's dreams. I also recall that some faeries become the main weapon a doll uses - for instance, Suiseiseki's becomes her watering pot.
No idea why Suigintou would want those rather than their rosa mysticas at that time though you have some good questions x_x

All I can say is, the creators would probably wanted them to have a pact some way or another :P
As for th faries....you see the final episode? Barauishou and SHinku used their powers because they had them. Bara had Souseiseki's and was able to use her scissors as SHinku had Suigintou's giving her wings.

Hmm... Suigintou chose to take Souseiseki's Lempicka because it was part of her grand scheme for annoying/hurting Shinku as well as gaining Rosa Mysticae. It was much easier to blackmail Souseiseki than to defeat her in battle at that point.
As to why Suigintou sent the pierrot after Jun/Shinku, it wasn't really meant to kill Jun or defeat Shinku. It was just Suigintou sending a message to Shinku to say "I'm here, and you're going down." Or something to that effect.
The Rosa Mystica and the dolls' artificial spirits are separate entities, as noted.

About the weapon, I thought it was something similar for a while, but you see Sousei Seiki uses her scisor to distract Suigin Tou near the end of episode 11 (they get them back in episode 12 when Suigin Tou is busy with Shinku)
The fairies are a part of the Rosa Mystica for sure. When you absorb someone's else rosa mystica, you get their power, their weapon, their memories and their fairies. We also know Suigin Tou got her fairy in the OVA at the same time she get her Rosa Mystica, so it's pretty obvious both are related. That said, it's still hard to pinpoint how much of their power is due to the fairy, medium, and rosa mystica.

About the fairy, while it's true her plan was probably to "annoy" them, Sousei Seiki wasn't even fighting at that time. Even if she stole them, she ended up bringing Sousei Seiki against her. They also got their fairy back extremely easily in episode 12 (called their name and they came back). However, as mentioned by someone above, if the fairy is the thing they use to enter the dream world, it could make sense if she tried to disable every other doll. She should have tried to get Hina's one first tho >_>
