Star Wars VII may be the most anticipated movie of a generation. Ticket sales are available two months beforehand. And yet there's a disturbance in the force: a group of white nerds are rightly upset that Star Wars is painting white people as the enemy.
Is the very white Star Wars being culturally appropriated by the Jewish J. J. Abrams?
Much like the changes in Star Trek match an overall mutation in liberalism from can do Kennedyism to multi-culti nihilism, Star Wars is being made to fall in line. (For what it's worth GotNews.com is pro-Star Wars, pro-Firefly over the more fascistic Star Trek.)
The racial politics of Star Wars have been talked about for some time.
The mulatto Lando Calrissian betrays our heroes before he is redeemed. The black Mace Windu is essentially a nonentity in the earlier episodes. Jar Jar Binks, who is voiced by a black man, is similarly irrelevant though I'll note that it's Binks's vote that gives us the Empire. Huh.
Star Wars is a productive of a white America whether or not we want to accept it. The action figures that made George Lucas a billionaire were purchased by suburban white families.
Here's what JJ Abrams reportedly said about white people in passing:
Read that statement to yourself: If you were to substitute "Jewish" or "black" for the "white" you'd have a problem.
It was white and Jewish-American nerds that put us into space and yet it's Guatemalan-born (Oscar Isaac), Mexico-born Kenyan (Lupita Nyong'o), and the British-born white girl (Daisy Ridley) and the British-born Nigerian (John Boyega) who get to fight for the Rebel Alliance.
None of these countries even have a manned space program.
Forgive me if this white nerd calls bullshit.
THE #BOYCOTTSTARWARSVII PEOPLE HAVE A POINT #PROBLEMATIC pic.twitter.com/wyG662RuDL
— Jack Posobiec?? (@JackPosobiec) October 19, 2015
One of the problems of the prequels is how unrelatable the characters were. Sure, part of the problem is the green screen but another unnoticed problem is the lack of Americans in the lineup. Canadian Hayden Christensen plays Anakin Skywalker. Irishman Liam Neeson plays the forgettable Qui Gon Jinn. The Israeli Natalie Portman plays Queen Amidala. And Scotsman Ewan McGregor plays Obi-Won Kenobi.
How about some American actors?
Is it an accident that the most iconic of the Star Wars characters, Han Solo (played by Harrison Ford), that archetype Westerner, is an American? Of course it isn't. Mark Hamill is American. So too is Princess Leia's Carrie Fisher. James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, is a black American.
Space belongs to the people smart enough to invent rockets and indoor plumbing. It belongs to a frontier people, thank you very much. And now the frontier is flooded with the Third World, drowning out the ambitions of those white nerds.
Is it any surprise that we all pin our hopes on a white immigrant from South Africa to hopefully reopen the final frontier?
But SpaceX is grounded (for the moment) and so, too, will be a generation of young white boys (yes, they're boys) who won't be much interested in a version of the future where they are cast as the villain.
(By the way, most of this post was an elaborate troll that ensnared lots of my critics.)

We spent two nights in this wonderful old hotel.
Listed on the National Register of Historic places, the hotel has hosted such notables as Teddy Roosevelt and Zane Grey. Back in the old days when it took two days via horse-drawn wagon from Medford to Crater Lake, the hotel was a popular stopping place.
The little town of Prospect is about 30 miles from Crater Lake National Park. It has a small post office, library, school, gas station and a restaurant called The Trophy Room, complete with a stuffed cougar on the wall.
Just down the street and an easy walk from the hotel are two waterfalls and a local curiosity called the Avenue of the Boulders. Fun to climb on or to find a spot to sit and watch the river go by, the boulders are huge and a reminder of how much geologic history Oregon has.
While I wouldn't recommend the dinner house at the hotel, the banana-walnut pancakes at breakfast were great. We heard the waitress in the hotel dining room holler into the kitchen when we arrived, "the two no-meats are here". For the rest of the trip, we two oddball no meat eaters referred to ourselves as Mr. and Mrs. No Meat.
If you are travelling to Crater Lake, the hotel is worth a stay just for the history of the place. As I looked out the window from our room and paused at the historical pictures of the place lining the hotel hallways, I imagined what it was like to stay here 100 years ago and how much of a respite it must have been after making the journey over a dirt road.

I don't think it's THAT depressive but it's definitely a cool song with sad lyrics :P
This is one of, if not, the most depressing song I've ever heard in my life. Give it a listen, you'll probably agree.
a beautiful moving song that brings a depressing sound to the positives of life
So sad it will actually make you cry "Has no one told you she's not breathing?".
It's just depressing since it deals with death and the tune is just haunting and morose.
The message in this song is amazing and i cry every time i hear it. in the lyrics, you not only hear the message, but the pain in Mike Ness' voice- this is one of the songs he wrote after his close childhood friend (Dennis Danell) died. His vocals are very overpowering. Instead of putting this as a 'depressing song', its merely one thats very powerful and never fails to make me cry
Three stories of the shattered lives of young girls. The song itself is very depressing. I heard this one after my grandmas passing and although the two were unrelated it reminds me of her.
Despite it's upbeat tempo, the lyrics are very sad. Janet wrote the song as a tribute to her friends who have died of AIDS.
A great song about the pointlessness of a relationship and, well, everything, really.
He left his woman and now he regrets it and is asking God to take care of her because he can't. Just sad...
The title alone says it...if that doesn't do it, listen to the lyrics: Lord, how long have I got to keep on running, Seven hours, seven days or seven years? All I know is, since you've been gone I feel like I'm drowning in a river, Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like I'm drowning, Drowning in a river.
"never tell me dreams come true. just try it. i'll start a riot. they're writing songs of love. but not for me..."
Old man dies alone, all the good he did in the world is ignored. Neil did some incredibly emotional and thought-provoking songs in the early 1970s.
It's about a boy who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in Glasgow a number of years ago. The song title refers to the tributes laid in memory, a very moving song despite it's somewhat upbeat feel. RIP Kris.
Its a sad, depressive and emo like song that brings tears to my eyes as it describes part of my life.
This song makes me think of my brother who was killed September 2nd 2010 10 days before he turned 20. This song is amazing I love it
A good song if you are depressed or self injure.This song definitely got me through hard times
Because it sounds like relationship that can't go on anymore... Even though they want it to
It's actually a very depressing song about how you can live, love and laugh, but in the end, everyone dies and it never really mattered. It's an acceptance of not only her death but also the smallness of her own life in the scheme of the things, so it's an acceptance of life too.
A song composed of actual letters sent to a son in America by a father left behind in Kilkelly, Co. Mayo. Written in the 19th century. The song just breaks your heart slowly.
I don't see why this isn't already on here... it always makes me cry. It's about a guy who fights with his love and then she kicks him out. He takes his stuff and drives away on his motorcycle, and after a little while she realizes she made a mistake, so she goes out to find him. She hears on the news about a motorcycle accident, and as she drives by it she sees her love in the crash. When she rushes over to his side, he's dying. Their last words to each other are "Now I'm here, no more fears, angel don't you cry, I'll meet you on the other side. Goodbye..." It really gets me every time.
A song about a man who wants to join a gang, but to join he must rape an innocent woman. He does by covering her face with her shirt, but when he removes the cover, he makes the shocking discovery it is his mother. As he cannot bare the guilt, he eventually commits suicide.
Most only hear the chorus, and think it's about love. While it is, listen to the whole thing. It's as beautiful as it is crushing.
"I don't want to be the one to see so far ahead, I have to live life looking back to see the skies turn red."
'If you had your time over again would you do it all the same'
Whilst not truly depressing, it is one of the most humbling songs i've ever heard.
Extremely sad, a couple working hard to be together but time is tearing them apart.
This song has so many meanings behind it. It Makes Me Cry Everytime.
A wonderfull portrayal with regard to the emptiness of life, how lonley we can feel and how helpless we are at changing it.
Its so depressing if anyone has no idea what people mean when they say they are beyond depressed they are numb, this song is perfect to educate them
Any song by these guys is probably going to be depressing but this one tops it on my list.
I am shocked this song isn't on here. I have heard so many depressive music from MCR and other metal to emotions by destiny's child. Even Hurt by christina but this song makes me cry the most... It's a wonderful song but I guess it is new out at the minute. Basically it's about a girl that he thought the world of and would do anything for and he found out she was cheating with another man. Despite this he still loves her and still would do anything for her. In the video he commits suicide. Very sad and makes me cry. Lovely song though. He's got a good voice.
Difficult to watch without crying. His singing moves me in a way that no other singer has ever done.
A very sad song about divorce. My parents are getting divorced and this song has helped me a lot. Pretty surprised it hasn't been up higher.
My Decembers is a love song about a girl and a boy and in this song, it's explaining their memories in December. Very depressing. It makes me cry all the time. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word is about a man in a heartbroken depression, trying to get his girl back. Listen to the Elton John version. Blue ruined it...
This song has to do with the feeling that the world is a hypocritical and dark place.
On Sept 04 1999, I was 10, my step mother killed my father this was their song, this was also the song playing when I found him laying on the floor in our living room, then again this song was played at the memorial service. I personally cannot listen to this song because it without doubt reminds me of how much I would love to kill the b*tch that killed my father.
This song always seems to make me feel sad and almost cry. In the lyrics the guy is asking himself why he still loves her even after he left her awhile ago. How nothing is going his way but still he cares for her. It's a very sad song, especially for someone who has gone through a break up and still loves the person they were with.
The title gives enough "reason" as to why this song might be depressing . . . or make people feel depressed.
This song reminds me a lot of "My Immortal" by Evanescence... only, a little more graphic and despairing. (I'm a huge Evanescence fan, so that takes a lot for me to say.) Listen to the song, pay attention to the lyrics. You'll be wanting to run into the arms of anyone you love and making sure they know you love them.
It's about a love interest, to be honest. "I can't make it on my own" means he needs a certain somebody, and "because my heart is in Ohio" means that person he loves lives in Ohio. Yes, this could include family, but the next part of the song is passionately violent, so it seems to speak more of a love story. "It's hard to feel like I don't care at all" is because he is trying to deny he needs this person, but he does. "So cut my wrists and black my eyes" means not a whole lot on it's own... but "Because you kill me, you know you do you kill me well, you like it too and I can tell" shows this person has either inflicted intense emotional damage on him, or it kills him that he likes this person, or perhaps they just have a rather violent love life. It may speak of a highly passionate, somewhat violent love/hate style of relationship. So while he keeps saying he doesn't need this person anymore, or it's not the controlling factor in his life, his heart screams otherwise. While he keeps saying he can't stand this person or they don't matter, he keeps coming back for more, because he needs them in his life.

I'm just back from a tour of Champagne country. Together with a small group of professional travel writers, I walked the cobbles, mounted the stairs, descended into the cellars and climbed the hills of a handful of towns and villages in the multi-departmental region now known as La Champagne (to differentiate it from the drink which is le champagne).
During the course of a week in the region we wandered through several astonishingly beautiful churches and cathedrals, admired local architecture, visited vineyards and cellars, learned all about how champagne is made and what the method champenoise really means, ate lots of regional specialities and, naturally, drank gallons of delicious bubbly.
I'm not a wine writer so I won't foist my tasting notes on you because they would be meaningless. And surprisingly, you don't really visit La Champagne for le champagne anyway. You can save yourself the cost of the trip and spend the money on really expensive bottles at home instead.
But of course, there are dozens of wonderful and compelling reasons to visit this region. Starting with today's post and continuing with several more, I'll be sharing some of them – the highlights of a truly memorable trip.
In the interests of full disclosure: I traveled with more than 100 members of the British Guild of Travel Writers who spread out, in small groups, all over the region. Our travel was sponsored by the official tourism authorities of Champagne-Ardenne , Aube and Haute-Marne and enhanced by the generosity of several dozen champagne producers.
First Stop Reims
Notre-Dame de Reims
Reims Cathedral, perched on the site where Clovis, first king of the Franks was baptized by Saint Remi, is a battle-scarred survivor. Risen, in 1211, from the ashes of an earlier church destroyed by fire, Notre-Dame de Reims has repeatedly suffered damage from wind, fire and war throughout its 806 year history.
Its towers had barely been completed when they were damaged by a roof fire. In the 18th century an angel atop the bell tower was sent flying in a tempest. And in World War I, the cathedral took 300 direct hits from German artillery. Restoration took 40 years and buckets of Rockefeller money.
Yet through it all, the cathedral's 806-year-old gothic bones remain virtually intact, its façade a medieval masterpiece.
An army of statues large and small – saints, biblical figures, angels, more than any cathedral except Chartres – parades across the east front. Look out, especially, for the smiling angel, beheaded by a shell in 1914, restored in 1926 and an icon of the city.
The Cathedral sits in the center of the city, beside the Palais du Tau, the ancient Bishop's Palace, now a museum. Try to see it after dark when the wildly exuberant creativity of centuries of stone carvers dazzles in the spotlights like giddy champagne bubbles frozen in stone.
Les Crayères
Beneath the city of Reims a network of Gallo Roman chalk quarries provide the perfect atmosphere for making champagne. Thats why at least 20 major champagne houses, some of the most famous labels in the world, are headquartered here. Taittinger, Mumms, Pommery, Heidsieck, Krug, and Veuve Clicquot – known affectionately in the UK where it is a favorite, as the Widow – have turned Reims into the modern capital of La Champagne.
Les Crayères, as they are known, are part of a listed UNESCO World Heritage site. In their cool, dark, interconnected passages, millions of bottles of champagne quietly come of age.
We've been invited to tour the subterranean depths of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, 482 chambers spread out across almost 24 kilometers.
Our guide in the cellars explains the méthode champenoise. The wine, made from a secret blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and meunier grapes, undergoes a second fermentation in the bottles. That's what produces the bubbles.
She's surrounded by bottles, slotted at a fixed angle in "riddling tables" that encourage the yeast and grape sediment to move toward the neck.
Over a period of time, the bottles are gently turned – riddled – to help the process along, a method used throughout the industry but apparently invented by the Widow herself in the early 19th century. What happens next – called disgorgement – can best be described as a sort of yeasty burp. The bottles are uncapped and the pressure of the carbon dioxide they contain pushes the plug of sediment out of the bottle. These days the necks of the bottles are also chilled to -26° C keeping the plug of frozen sediment intact as it bursts from the bottle.
Public cellar tours, bookable in advance, are available weekdays and range in price from 25€ to 150€ – information from their website.
A highlight is a view of a 170-year-old bottle, part of a cargo retrieved from a sunken vessel in the Baltic Sea in 2010 and apparently still drinkable.
Only in Champagne
Eight in the morning on the Rue Buirette. On the wide, pink and grey tesselated pavement, a stall holder unrolls his awnings, opens his cabinets and counters, turns on strings of festive lights and sets out his wares.
In Paris, these might be magazines and newpapers, sweets and mints and cigarettes. But this is the capital of la Champagne. And though we are more than 250 miles from the sea, his offering is the natural accompaniment for le champagne, huîtres et coquillages – oysters and shellfish, of course.

Now in its eighth year, the Advertising Futures competition is a partnership by the Advertising Club of New York, the New York City Department of Education and Virtual Enterprises. In the span of a month, teams of local high school students are mentored by some of the world's top advertising agencies and design a print ad in support of a specific cause or movement.
Earlier this month, Big Fuel welcomed more than 30 schools, 23 mentor agencies, teachers and students' families as the teams went head to head before a panel of judges for final presentations. This year's challenge was to create an ad for first lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign. Together with their mentors, the teams brainstormed and executed designs that would "change the culture of a generation -- to make them think and act different about food and friends, eating and exercise," according to the creative brief.
While all the students produced amazing work, in the end, the all-girl team from Grace Dodge High School took home the grand prize -- the chance to see their ad in the pages of The New York Times and on a billboard in Times Square. "There's nothing in this ad that doesn't have a reason for being there," said one student from the winning team.
The girls' "Don't Indulge the Bulge" ad featured a mascot named The Bulge that symbolized laziness and unhealthy eating habits. Copy encouraged our students' peers to make healthy decisions, offering a checklist of "small choices that lead to a bigger change." When asked if she was interested in pursuing a career in advertising, one of the winning students replied that she "had never given any thought to it before -- but now it's a definite possibility."
The second- and third-place ads -- one crafted around the theme of winning and losing, the other featuring an image of an obese Statue of Liberty -- will also be featured in the Times.
Beyond those who actually get to see their work published, every team that participated walked away a winner. For the past few weeks, the students learned about the hard work and innovative ideas that go into building success in advertising, all while working alongside the best in the business. Not only were they inspired to pursue careers in the industry, but I think the agencies themselves were inspired by the students' determination and youthful creativity.
In addition to hosting the event, Big Fuel mentored two teams of students in the competition.

The 'Incredibly Chatty' Developer Every day Jimmy would come into Sams office at random times. He would just appear in the doorway and start ranting about current events.
At first, Sam was amused and bantered back and forth with Jimmy. But then it started to interfere with Sams work. Sam would be in the middle of some task when Jimmys sudden loud ranting practically caused Sam to eject from his seat.
It got to the point where Sam would be afraid to start a new task without first checking that Jimmy was not around, to verify that Jimmy had his face deeply buried into his monitor solving some complex design issue.
Nobody was better at solving complex problems than Jimmy, which is why others had put up with his rants. Sam tried to subtly hint that he was busy, to no avail. He finally gave up and started working with his office door closed.
This kept Jimmy out, but also isolated him from the rest of the team. Sam left the company before it went further, but it definitely impacted Sams effectiveness and a talented team member was lost.
The 'Inappropriate Phone Call' Developer This one I experienced personally. We hired a new developer that Ill call Suzy. All the developers had their systems in an open cubicle environment. One day, Stan, a senior developer on my team, came in to my office and shut the door.
He said Suzy was having inappropriate conversations on the phone. So not only was she on the phone for long periods of time, but she was calling her ex-boyfriends to let them know she may have exposed them to an STD.
I remember thinking, How many guys could she possibly be calling? I figured it was best to just wait it out.
It turned out the answer was lots and lots of guys because Stan came back the following week and said he counted multiple phone conversations on the same tawdry topic. I said Id address it with her , but put it off due to other priorities.
My mistake.
After three weeks and multiple complaints, I finally called Suzy into my office and told her that I noticed she was spending too much time on the phone and that others have complained about excessive, distracting conversations.
I totally stayed away from the sensitive subject matter didnt want to go there. She just looked dumbfounded and said Ok. Didnt fight it, just Ok.
So the next week, Stan closes my office door again and proceeds to tell me about her new conversations. The ex-boyfriends have been replaced by recruiters.
She was doing phone interviews, and stating My new boss is a jerk, so Im looking for a new job.
This jerk ended up firing her. But by me procrastinating and not immediately addressing this issue head on, the entire team was being distracted with gossip. Cant say I blame them.
These stories were just the tip of the iceberg. Sure its all anecdotal, but I have to believe there is some truth to the techie community harboring some pretty interesting characters. And that is why I love the world of software.
Never a dull moment!

Topics in Dynamic Meteorology: Pressure Gradient Force
This publication covers a foundational aspect of dynamic meteorology, the pressure gradient force. The horizontal pressure gradient force is presented through an interactive tool which allows a student to adjust pressures on an idealized surface map and examine the horizontal accelerations produced in response.
Fire Weather Patterns in Australia: Southeast Australia

Well, some so-called experts had been calling this one of the weakest drafts in years because of its lack of big names. So much for that, though, as it didn't lack any of the excitement of previous drafts. Gone was the certainty of where LeBron James was headed. Mock drafts were shredded by the fifth or sixth pick -- if not earlier. And when the picks were less than exciting, there was always the prospect of another trade.
Not a real surprise, but a bit suspenseful all the same, the Raptors went the predicted route and selected Italy's Andrea Bargnani with the top overall pick. After all, it could have been a foregone conclusion the team was high on the youngster when it hired his former team's general manager, Maurizio Gherardini, as an assistant to Bryan Colangelo. Keeping a poker face, however, Colangelo maintained his mind wasn't made up prior to Draft day.
One pick that may have caught some by surprise was Adam Morrison going to the Bobcats. Not because he went higher or lower, but because he didn't slip to Portland at No. 4 as some were thinking he might. Do you believe it could have been Morrison's competitive nature that caught the eye of one Mr. Jordan -- himself one of the most competitive people to ever play hoops.
Another surprise was the Knicks' selection of Renaldo Balkman at No. 20. Some, including ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, who blasted the Knicks brass during the network's draft coverage, believed Balkman was no higher than a second rounder -- if that. Balkman wasn't believed to even be staying in the Draft until an outstanding performance at the Orlando Pre-Draft Camp elevated his stock. Twentieth overall in the 2006 NBA Draft might have been a bit high. Then again, Spike Lee could be right when he waved his index finger and proclaimed him "a sleeper."
The shocker of the night, though, was the sheer number of trades. A full 15 were completed on Draft night and, as we said earlier in the night, the Blazers were players in six of those. More than half the league (16) successfully worked the phones Wednesday night causing 26 players to file change-of-address cards. And the trading might not be over with; those 16 are just the ones we know about right now.
Phoenix, whom we thought would be in the market for a backup to Steve Nash, had not one but two. By night's end, they had dealt both -- Rajon Rondo at No. 21 and Sergio Rodriguez at No. 27 -- plus Brian Grant for what amounts to a Boston Celtics future first-rounder.
With the flurry of activity tonight, it's gotten me thinking about the offseason and free agency. Teams can begin courting free agents as of July 1, however a moratorium on signings runs through July 11. What does that mean? Well, we'll just have to wait and see which teams make any additional moves.
Slowing the round a bit is all the trades. This has to be some sort of record once they're all completed. Heck, the Blazers have been in on six trades of their own. We'll get on that to see what the most was.
But, brace yourself as you click through some of the names that may not be familiar to you because the pace of the Draft has quickened. Now there's only two minutes between picks as opposed to the full five alloted during the first round.
With the announcement that Joel Freeland is the last player tonight to get guaranteed money by being selected in the first round, Commissioner Stern is done for the night. His closer: Russ Granik, who's leaving the NBA after 30 years. Granik has been such a fixture here at the Draft -- hosting the second round for many years now -- fans have been given, and are gladly brandishing, Russ Granik heads-on-a-stick. As it says on the back, "Please show your appreciation for Russ and his many contributions to the NBA by using this mask as Russ takes the podium for his 'final' second round."
So, with a dimmed stage and video tribute, Mr. Granik takes the stage one final time -- to a warmer reception than any draft pick tonight.
The Nets are on the board and get a warmer hand than did the team playing a few floors upstairs. That's because they took Marcus Williams, from UConn. Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson certainly will like it when they read this line on NBA.com about their new teammate: "Outstanding court vision. Sees the play before it develops. Terrific in the open court." Get your track shoes handy, fellas.
Roy will now suit up only two hours from home, which has to make his family happier than trekking all the way to Minnesota.
"Going through the process," Roy said after learning of the trade, "it definitely was a dream of mine to play in Seattle or play close to Portland. I went to the University of Washington where my family could only drive 20 minutes to games and now they can drive two hours to games. It makes me comfortable to be able to go out there and compete at my highest level."
No word on the other trade rumors just yet.
Fret not, young man -- not just yet, that is. It's rumored that the Celtics picked for Portland as part of a deal that would send Sebastian Telfair to Bean Town.
Rumor was out that the Hawks were high on Shelden Williams and had made him a "promise" to draft him if he was available. His big body will certainly help the Hawks, but now they really need to address the point guard position after taking Williams with the No. 5 selection.
Back to Bargnani for a second, he's only the second international player who didn't play college ball in the United States ever to be selected with the top overall pick. The other is Yao Ming, who went ot Houston in 2002.
Those boos were nothing compared with those that came when a graphic was displayed showing the pick the Bulls have -- No. 2, which belonged to the Knicks.
No word on whether the latter two are possibilities, but Zeke is on the hot seat. MSG Chairman James Dolan told the media as much yesterday with the team's new head coach at his side. If you haven't read that transcript, Knicks fans, do so.
Placards were taped to a number of seats just behind the green room to reserve space for international players in attendance. Among the names I saw are: Thabo Sefolosha, Saer Sene, Oleksiy Pecherov, Vladimir Veremeenko, Damir Markota, Franko Kastropil and Joel Freeland.
Back to Ager -- in full disclosure, I'm a Spartan fan and grew up a short drive to East Lansing, Mich. -- the four-year swingman is nervous with anticipation of hearing his name called.
"No clue," he said when asked if he had any idea who might be interested in his services. "I wish I could tell you."
How does Dallas sound, Mr. Ager? I just spent better than a week there. It's hot, but the team knows how to operate the AC and certainly could have used your marksmanship to snap it out of a cold spell. That's just a thought, as 27 picks are on the board before the Mavs get to pick.
Either way, when his name is called, he's going on stage.
"It'll be great to go up on stage with Commissioner Stern," Ager said.
Ager could be joined by Spartans teammates Shannon Brown and Paul Davis, as NBA rookies if all three are picked tonight.
You're not alone. The pronunciaton can vary depending on who you hear utter the draftees name, but we'll try to get the most accurate pronunciation as the Draft goes on.
For the record, we're hearing:
Andrea Bargnani: AN-dre-a BARN-neon-ee
Paulius Jankunas: POW-lus yan-COUN-nus
Lukas Mavrokefalidis: LUKE-as mav-ROW-ke-FA-lee-dis
Panagotis Vasilopoulos: PAN-A-yo-tis VA-seal-lope-A-los
So, what's in store for tonight? Well, how about some fashion? A favorite of mine from drafts past is that red pinstripe getup Jalen Rose sported in 1994. We probably won't see a similar fashion faux pas tonight, but be sharp, men, and consider this practice for the coming season when you too may join this esteemed group.
One thing you don't want to do is be too flashy tonight should you be the last man standing -- or, more appropriate, sitting -- in the green room. That lucky player will likely want to be donning black to blend in with the table skirts.
Who could that lucky player be? Well, here's a list of the invitees: LaMarcus Aldridge, Hilton Armstrong, Andrea Bargnani, Ronnie Brewer, Rodney Carney, Randy Foye, Rudy Gay, Adam Morrison, Patrick O'Bryant, J.J. Redick, Brandon Roy, Cedric Simmons, Tyrus Thomas, Marcus Williams and Shelden Williams. Then, take a look at our consensus mock draft and you'll have a better idea who won't be around late in the first round.
Speaking of that green room ... it's not so green -- unless you count the bottles of Sprite placed in the center of each table. Come to think of it, it's not so much a room, but more of a sectioned off area of the theater at stage left. The view is unobstructed for those fans hoping to watch a certain player's reaction. But before a fan casts too much attention at the green room, maybe he/she should look to his/her left/right. You never know who could be sitting there. Each year a handful of international prospects "crash" the Draft. So, it'll be interesting to see who's in the audience tonight.
For now, we'll leave you with a few last-minute Draft rumors -- in addition to photos of the new ball, if you haven't already seen it -- until we return with more from inside the Theater.
-- Sebastian Telfair to Boston for the C's No. 7?
-- Is Andrea Bargnani going No. 1 to Toronto?
-- That would leave the door open for the Bulls to take Tyrus Thomas.
-- Not a rumor, but Clippers fans rejoice ... you probably never thought you'd read this headline.
-- Could back troubles scare off teams from selecting J.J. Redick on Draft night?

A few evenings ago, I hosted a discussion of Winter Poetry at my local library. While I was selecting the poems to include, my wife said I had to pick Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snow Evening," because… well, it's THE winter poem. But that was why I didn't want to include it; I dismissed as too over-exposed, too well-traveled (like the path in that other over-exposed Frost poem).
I compromised by pairing "Stopping by Woods" with a lesser-known Frost poem, "Dust of Snow." At the time, my motivation for linking the two began and ended with the fact that they both had "snow" in the title.
In the end, I'm glad I listened to my wife, because it turns out I didn't know "Stopping by Woods" as well as I thought. And I'm glad I juxtaposed it with "Dust of Snow," because both poems seem to share a similar theme. One illuminates the other.
Let's tackle "Stopping by Woods" first. And even though even my dad could probably recite twenty percent of it, here it is anyway,,,
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
I've always believed that the poem is about a man contemplating suicide. (That said, in the past, I've asked my students to convince me the poem is about Santa Claus, I swear, if you consider the "darkest evening of the year" and the "harness bells" and the "promises to keep"… well, a pretty convincing case can be made.)
Now, if you look at the poem as a man contemplating suicide, the "darkest evening of the year" is not literal but figurative. He's gone to a dark place. (As an aside: as an astute reader from my discussion group pointed out, the "darkest evening of the year" does not have to be the Winter Solstice. That would be the longest evening of the year, but not necessarily the darkest. Never considered that before…)
The "suicide" reading becomes more clear when you consider the geography of the poem. So, our narrator is stopping "by" the woods. Now, he's not IN the woods; he's on the outskirts. But the woods are definitely calling to him; he thinks they're "lovely." In this interpretation, the woods– which are empty, frozen, dark, deep– represent death.
Somewhere else, maybe behind the narrator, is the "village." To me, that represents his life, with all of its problems, responsibilities, obligations– his "promises to keep," in other words, whatever has made him so depressed. If he goes into the woods, he'll never have to return to the village. Or, to put another way: if he chooses death, he'll never have to face those "promises" again.
Suddenly, something snaps him out of this trance: the harness bells. He realizes he has "miles to go" before he sleeps– and in this case, the "sleep" is the permanent kind. At the end of the poem, he is leaning toward life; he's choosing the "miles" before the "sleep." For the moment, at least.
Now, keep all that in mind as you consider the one-sentence poem "Dust of Snow"…
Pretty simple: a bird in a tree shakes snow down on some unsuspecting dude. But naturally it's a "more than meets the eye" thing. (Who would have guessed, right?)
The first stanza paints a pretty grim picture: crows always have bad connotations, as does hemlock. (Socrates, for example, was executed via a cup of poison hemlock.) And let's face it: getting snow knocked down on you is rarely thrilling..
But these three negatives somehow add up to a positive in the second stanza. The "dust of snow" is akin to a baptism; it cleanses him. We don't know what was going on before, what he regretted or "rued," but for some reason, this event ironically gave him a "change of mood."
And that, right there, is what links the two poems. Both poems have to do with a small, seemingly insignificant event that triggers a serendipitous "change of mood." So, in "Dust of Snow," this brief cascade of snow "saved" his day. And in "Stopping by Woods," the horse shaking his harness bells may have actually "saved" the narrator's life, in that it broke him out of his depressive spell.
If you think about, small things do have the power to change our moods. One day, you might be feeling great, until a parking ticket brings you down. Or you may be bummed out, and then a co-worker says something that strikes you funny, or you hear a song on the radio that speaks to you. or maybe someone offers you a Twizzler– and that simple event turns things around.
Only I'm not sure the "Stopping by Woods" guy is completely turned around. :Yes, he's turning away from the dark woods in the final stanza… but I don't really get the sense he's giddy about it. The woods are still "lovely" to him, after all. And then there's the final "miles to go before I sleep" business. I never understood why Frost repeats himself, but I wonder if the repetition could suggest a sense of resignation, a sense of "oh, well." After all, the "promises to keep" haven't gone away; he still has to face them.
So, yes, with the help of the folks who shows up for the poetry reading, I gained some new insights about these two poems. But perhaps more importantly I learned/ re-learned a few other things as well…
- Just because you think you know something doesn't mean you shouldn't give it another look."(And I do know that I am paraphrasing John Keating from Dead Poets Society: "Just when you think you know something, you have to look at in another way.")
- Juxtaposing two texts often helps to illuminate both.
- Art is meant to be shared. Something great usually happens when you interesting and interested people start sharing ideas.
Now I'm going to warp this up, as I have "miles to go before I sleep" as well. (Actually, I'm just going to watch re-runs of The Office with my family. Don't suppose there's a Frost poem about that…)

Established Stars, Meet the Budding Star
The Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire Joins the Cast of the Jeremy Lin Show, and Carmelo Anthony Is Not Too Far Behind
GREENBURGH, N.Y.—With Jeremy Lin cemented as a legitimate starting point guard and "Linsanity" the NBA's new normal, the narrative surrounding the Knicks—and perhaps the question that will determine their fate—is this: Can this team sustain this level of success with its full roster intact?
Lin, who has ascended from cute little distraction to national curiosity of Tebow-esque proportions in all of 10 days, has yet to play significant minutes with Amar'e Stoudemire or Carmelo Anthony. Though coach Mike D'Antoni has consistently dismissed the possibility of his stars ruining the Knicks' newfound chemistry, he acknowledged Monday that the shot distribution "might spread out a little bit."
In reality, the answer may be a bit more nuanced and complex than that. But with Stoudemire set to return to the floor Tuesday in Toronto and Anthony expected to play by the end of this week, the Knicks are just days away from discovering what they really have.
"I think we were all looking for answers from the point guard position so far this season," Stoudemire said. "We've tried every point guard we had. We saved the best for last."
Stoudemire, who rejoined the team Monday after a week away to mourn the death of his brother, seems like a natural addition to the Lin-led offense. His reputation as an elite player—not to mention his massive contract—stems largely from his ability to dominate games off the pick-and-roll.
It's fitting, because in D'Antoni's vaunted offensive system, "almost every play will end up eventually in a pick-and-roll," Lin said. It's the formula that D'Antoni used for years in Phoenix to turn Stoudemire and point guard Steve Nash into perhaps the most fearsome duo in the NBA.
But until Lin's sudden emergence, the Knicks offense generally consisted of Anthony playing isolation, while four other players stood around the perimeter. Anthony's mostly failed attempt to thrive as a "point forward" relegated Stoudemire to the role of $100 million spectator.
Not coincidentally, Stoudemire is mired in the biggest slump since his rookie year, with his scoring average dropping to 18 from 25 points a game this season. With Lin facilitating for Stoudemire, the Knicks hope that will change.
"Having a point guard puts him back in his comfort zone," D'Antoni said. "His comfort zone is pick-and-roll. His comfort zone is getting fed for dunks."
Lin did not practice Monday, instead taking the day off to rest a sore ankle. As a result, he and Stoudemire didn't have the opportunity to work out any kinks.
But Stoudemire does have some experience playing with Lin. They played together Feb. 4, the game before Stoudemire left the team and Lin's official coming-out party. Lin scored 25 points off the bench that night, leading the Knicks to a win over the Nets. Right then, Stoudemire knew they had something.
"We were starting to get easy baskets," Stoudemire said of that game. "Passes were there we didn't quite have before."
Anthony's place in the offense is murkier. When Anthony touches the ball, he almost always reverts to one of two plays: isolation or a pick-and-roll where he is the ball handler (instead of the screen-setter). Lin's arrival will force Anthony to play considerably more away from the ball.
Anthony, who has missed the Knicks' last three games with a groin injury, spent much of his interview session Monday defending his ability to mesh with Lin, repeatedly calling the questions "funny." D'Antoni, meanwhile, called the idea of Anthony and Lin struggling to play together "ludicrous."
"When I get back, Jeremy will have the ball in his hands, and I'm playing off that," Anthony said.
Of course, things with the Knicks are never quite so simple. Though Anthony said playing with Lin will be a "dream come true" and that it "takes some pressure off me," he made it clear that he expects to keep his isolation game in the offense. The key for the Knicks now is finding that elusive balance.
"I don't think coach wants to take that away," Anthony said. "But at the same time, I have to get away from the ball knowing that Jeremy is the guy with the basketball, and knowing that he can create for me."
