Brief SummaryRead full entry
Common Palm Civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) are widely distributed across South and Southeast Asia. There are scattered records from Sulawesi, the Moluccas, Timor, and the Aru Islands and they may be present in Papua New Guinea. They were introduced to Japan in the late 1800s.
This is a small civet with a grayish or rusty body, brown or black spots and stripes, a dark mask, and a long tail. The head and body are 42 to 71 cm long with a tail of 33 to 66 cm; weight is 2 to 5 kg. The body size of individuals on islands, notably Borneo, is smaller than on the mainland. The head pattern is highly variable, but generally consists of a dark mask with pale patches below the eyes, on the forehead, and at the bases of the ears.
Common Palm Civets occur in a range of habitats up to 2400 m, including evergreen and deciduous forests (both primary and secondary), plantations, and around human dwellings and settlements. They are mainly frugivorous, but also eat small vertebrates and invertebrates. They are solitary, nocturnal, and largely arboreal, spending the day in trees--and sometimes in buildings. Common Palm Civets deposit their scat, the contents of which can have commercial value as the source of "civet coffee", on the ground and on tree branches.
Breeding seems to occur throughout the year, with a litter size of two to five young. In captivity, gestation is 61 to 63 days. Newborns weigh 69 to 102 g and are born with their eyes closed. They reach sexual maturity at 11 to 12 months.
Although this species is widespread and generally common, population density may be lower in secodary forest than in primary forest. Common Palm Civets are often considered pests by fruit farmers and killed. They are also trapped and traded for meat and are sometimes kept as pets and used as rat catchers (which may explain their introduction to some areas). The subspecies (sometimes considered a distinct species) on the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia may be under threat due to commercial logging.

Best Bowl & NFL Upsets Dec. 16-18
AT Orlando, FL: Arkansas St over C Florida by 7
The Red Wolves hit the Sunshine State on a two-game bowl-losing skein, having been outscored 110-72 in the process. So why do we feel the wrong team is favored tonight in Orlando, especially with the nearby Knights only having to travel 16 miles to Camping World Stadium? For starters, UCF is 0-6 SU against fellow bowlers this season, losing the stat battle by an average of 93 YPG. And speaking of yardage, our MIDWEEK ALERT informs us that the Knights finished the year on a 0-8 'In The Stats' run while the Wolves are 9-1 'ITS' over their last 10 games. In addition, Arkansas State's defense has improved by 45 YPG over last year's edition, a 'Cure' needed to deliver a bowl win. We should probably also mention that the favorite has lost SU in four of the last six UCF bowl games (this is just one of hundreds of gems found in this year's Playbook Bowl Stat Report which is available online this Wednesday). We could also point out, like Houston above, that AAC bowlers are 0-4 SUATS off a SUATS loss and that the Knights are 0-2-1 ATS of late against the Sun Belt.
NY JETS over Miami by 6
The 8-5 Dolphins were handed an early Christmas present Monday night when the Pats knocked off the Ravens, giving Miami some control of their playoff destiny (they'll be, once again, rooting for their division mates this week in Denver). With Dean Martin crooning "Baby it's cold outside" on the team airplane as the Fish prepare for their annual sojourn to the Big City, the question now becomes does Miami have 'Moore' than enough to hold onto their Wild Card spot should the Broncos falter as starting QB Ryan Tannehill will miss at least a couple of games with a sprained ACL and MCL. Another Playbook exclusive (read: our unique NFL QB Club) tells us that the Dolphins are in good hands as Matt Moore is 18-7 ATS as a starter in the NFL but a deeper search fi nds the majority of that success has come against .500 or better opposition (14-2 ATS) as Moore is just 4-5 SUATS when facing losing foes. Todd Bowles' bunch definitely fi ts that bill but it won't stop our database from 'Jet'-setting tonight as New York is 4-1-1 ATS in their last fi ve Saturday showdowns while Miami is 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS away on Saturdays. Our MIDWEEK ALERT is also along for the ride as it notes the Dolphins are just 2-4 'In The Stats' in their last six games – and that was with Tannehill behind center. Even in their 27- 23 victory as 4-point home favorites earlier this season, the Fish were outyarded by the Flyboys. That put the Jets at both 5-0-1 ATS in the series of late and 5-0-1 ATS as division underdogs versus a foe off an ATS win. All this and we still haven't mentioned that Todd Bowles is the answer to this week's TRIVIA TEASER on page 2. Hopefully you saved room for THE CLINCHER: Miami is 1-15 ATS following a win versus an opponent coming off a SU underdog win.
CINCINNATI over Pitt by 8
For a team that was certified dead in the water, the Bengals have certainly done an about face. Currently on a 3-3-1 SU run – with the three losses by 10 combined points – Cincinnati still finds itself (barely) mathematically alive in the Wild Card chase. For openers, they can take care of business on their end as each of their fi nal three foes on the slate are all positioned to make the postseason. Granted, Pittsburgh has roughed up Cincinnati in this series going 16-5 SU and 15-6 ATS the last 21 meetings, including 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS away. And they are currently cooking on 4-0 SUATS and 7-game ATS win skeins. But the resourceful black cats are 19-7-1 ATS following the Cleveland Browns, including 14-3 ATS when seeking revenge (lost at Pittsburgh in Week Two in a game in which they outstatted the Steel Curtain). Not to mention QB Andy Dalton's dandy 16-8 SU and 16-7-1 ATS career mark in games during the month of December, and his 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS career mark as an underdog seeking revenge following a double-digit win. And with it, another live division home dog – like the Giants last week – is ready to bark, according to THE CLINCHER: Cincinnati is 5-0 SUATS in its last fi ve regular season home underdog roles.
Carolina over Washington by 10
For all intents and purposes, it looks as if the Panthers are cooked. Last year's Super Bowl loser, Carolina resides in the basement of the NFC South with only a prayer of recording a .500 season (should they win each of their fi nal three games) at its beck and call. This, however, is where these teams tend to be at their best. According to our allknowing database, Super Bowl losers are 30-17-1 ATS during the fi nal four games of the season when they are not favored, including 24- 10 ATS when squaring off against winning foes. (There's nothing like good competition to bring the best out in a formerly good team). The Panthers are 3-0 SUATS the last three games in this series, and 4-0 ATS away all-time as underdogs in this series… not to mention 10-1 ATS off a SU underdog win during the fi nal four games of the season when facing non-division opponents. Washington checks in at 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS in its last seven games following the Philadelphia Eagles, who they defeated by the skin of their teeth in an 'inside-out' stat win last Sunday. And lest we forget, there is THE CLINCHER: See this week's INCREDIBLE STAT on page 2.

New York: Switzerland`s Stanislas Wawrinka stepped out of compatriot Roger Federer`s shadow and into the US Open semi-finals with a 6-4 6-3 6-2 upset of defending champion Andy Murray on Thursday.
Wawrinka even received a congratulatory text message upon reaching his first grand slam semi-final from five-time US Open champion Federer, who left the stage to Wawrinka after an early dismissal from Flushing Meadows.
After Federer`s shock loss to Spain`s Tommy Robredo in the fourth round, Wawrinka continued his breakout year with a display of supreme ball-striking to dominate Murray in two hours and 15 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
Wawrinka started the year with a bang, pushing world number one Novak Djokovic to 12-10 in the fifth set at the Australian Open. He has since pushed his world ranking to number 10.
Another jump is guaranteed after he lasted longer than Federer at a grand slam for the first time in his career.
"It`s my moment and I`m enjoying it a lot," said Wawrinka, who added that he never resented Federer`s tremendous success.
"I`m really thankful for him because he has helped me a lot. But today, for sure it`s my moment. Roger texted me straight after the match. He told me congrats."
Wawrinka beat Murray without facing a break point on serve.
He said the most pleasing aspect was controlling the nerves that have gotten the better of him in the past.
"I was dealing with the pressure," the 28-year-old said.
"Normally I can be a little bit nervous and I can lose a few games because of that, but today I was just focused on my game.
"It`s amazing for me to be in my first semi-final of a grand slam, especially after beating Andy Murray, the defending champion. He won Wimbledon, too. To beat him in three sets, the way I was playing today, is quite good for me."
Wawrinka, who has developed one of the most stylish single-handed backhands in tennis, hit 45 winners to Murray`s 15 to leave the Scotsman scrambling in defence.
"I`m quite happy with my backhand," said Wawrinka, who abandoned the two-hand backhand when he was 11. "Sometimes it`s not that easy, especially to return the serve."
Wawrinka will play either Serbia`s world number one Novak Djokovic, the Australian Open winner, or Russia`s Mikhail Youzhny in Saturday`s semi-finals.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

There are some words that I have trouble pronouncing, such as where there is a short i as the third to last syllable, e.g. dēsierant. If I try to stress the i it comes out ee. Or does the i become y - DAY-syer-ant?
Also, deesse. Both e's are short, so how does one pronounce them? Is it done with a glottal stop between them a la Samoan names such as Ma'a or So'oialo?
Maybe someone could record them and send me an .mp3 or .wav? If so my email address is philjgibbs at yahoo dot co dot uk ('at' and 'dot' are to foil spam spiders), or point me to where some audio already exists.

Killzone: Mercenary has been making the rounds on the gaming wires as a must-have title for the PlayStation Vita, bringing all the iconic visuals and moments from a console-sized experience and shrinking them down to a portable sized adventure.
One of the design elements that really helped capture the mood and tone of the game was Walter Mair's soundtrack. Mair (pictured below), is an accomplished composer who has worked on movies, television and games alike, and picked up numerous awards along the way, including a Novello Award nomination for best original soundtrack in 2010. Well, we had a chance to ask Mair a few questions about working on the score for Killzone: Mercenary and what the experience was like taking on one of the grittiest franchises on the market. Check it out below.
Gaming Blend: So what type of preparation did you do before diving into scoring a game like Killzone. In other words, how did you get yourself into the mindset to write for a game like this?
Walter Mair: It is an amazing opportunity to be involved in a game of this caliber. Preparation started as early as weeks before I actually got to meet the producers and audio director. The main motivation for people in this industry is to deliver great work. So I listened to some great soundtracks as well as classical music and electronic tracks, nothing too unusual to what I would normally do but always thinking and asking myself if this particular track could work within the context of Killzone: Mercenary and why it might not work. As soon as I received the early sketches and artwork for the game I spent a significant time in my studio thinking about the right concept, what instruments I wanted to use, how to create interesting soundscapes, what techniques I could use to produce these sounds etc.
I knew I wanted to use unique sounds paired with more classical sounds and in order to do so I would even custom-build instruments. A game of this magnitude deserves its very own sound.
Gaming Blend: Are there any special considerations to take into account when writing for a portable device as opposed to a home console game, or is the technology good enough these days that you can basically run wild?
Walter Mair: I was very lucky with Sony being such great developers, not only knowing their very own technology inside-out but also on the creative side where the audio director would give me a lot of freedom to come up with the soundtrack I thought worked best for the game. The technical requirements are similar, if not the same, to those of home consoles. I delivered stems which were implemented into the game engine. All music was delivered in 24bit and 48kHz to allow the audio team further tweaks without losing quality.
Gaming Blend: Following up on that last question, do the various budgets for each game also dictate what sort of musical instruments and tools you have access to or does that matter at all?
Walter Mair: Budgets do matter and affect the instrumentation of the soundtrack to a certain degree. When working on SEGA's Empire:Total War I knew we would record an 80-piece orchestra and a full choir which impacts on the style of writing.
With Killzone I had freedom of choice on how to produce the score and a hybrid of orchestral and electronic instruments seemed to work best for the franchise.
With that in mind I started creating and sculpturing sounds and built custom instruments that would be able to span the entire sound-spectrum from ISA to Helghast. The final soundtrack is based on quite a lot of live recordings e.g. recordings of strings, percussion, brass and many single instrument recordings that feature unique playing techniques.
Gaming Blend: Were there any unique touches, less common instruments, etc. that were plugged in to give the game a unique "Killzone" vibe?
Walter: A lot of experimentation went into the initial stages of development where it was all about creating a unique sound for Killzone: Mercenary. The key element was to find a successful combination of the main theme as well as defining a very distinct overall sound for the music. Lots of experiments happened in this stage. Live recordings were held on a daily basis with instruments spanning from a more classical orchestral setup to custom-built instruments. Classical instruments such as violin and cello were played with the wooden side of the bow (instead of the horse hair) or by using different metal-bows to produce extraordinary sounds. We also hammered the cello with metal objects to produce percussion–like sounds and soundscapes. All these many samples were mapped in Kontakt (Native Instruments) to make them available and playable like a real instrument.

A 34-year-old man led an officer with the Thomasville Police Department on a chase Saturday through downtown Thomasville, according to an arrest warrant.
A 34-year-old man led an officer with the Thomasville Police Department on a chase Saturday through downtown Thomasville, according to an arrest warrant.
Ja Maine Monte Biddle, of 2144 Pleasant Loop, Thomasville, was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center on Sunday after he was charged Saturday with felony elude arrest with a motor vehicle. He was given a $5,000 secured bond and a court date of Feb. 20.
Officer W.M. Smith attempted to stop Biddle, who was driving an SUV, for a stop sign violation at East Guilford Street and Maple Avenue about 3:45 p.m. Saturday, said TPD Capt. Mark Kattner.
The captain said Biddle took off once Smith activated his blue lights. The chase, Kattner said, traveled through Main, Park and Maple streets before Biddle made his way onto Julian Avenue toward Randolph Street, at which time Smith discontinued the chase based on the decision of a TPD corporal.
The time of day, the amount of traffic, the nature of initial traffic violation and the fact Smith had obtained the license plate number factored into the decision to stop Smith's pursuit of Biddle, Kattner said.
Kattner said the vehicle in which Biddle was driving had been borrowed. The captain said Biddle returned the vehicle to a location in the county, and officers arrested him the day after the chase.
Kattner said the chase went for about a mile. The captain said he did not know why Biddle led Smith on the chase.
The top speed that the chase reached was not available Monday morning. However, Smith stated in an arrest warrant that Biddle exceeded 15 miles per hour over the legal speed limit and was driving recklessly.

The rights of spring
As long as I have lived in this system that none of us has any hope of ever understanding, the question of human rights has been a controversial issue. We allegedly have rights, and we have lefts; what we really have are ill-defined rights that have left us alone and defenseless, because whenever the rights are challenged, we are left without them.
Ours is a sad state of affairs at best.
I believe we can come to terms with this shortcoming in our system by itemizing a few of those rights as we have done in the past, and the rights of spring is a good place to start.
Now keep in mind that many of these rights have not been covered in law books or by ordinances and legislation. They are rights of life as defined by the people who desperately need them, who if provoked will go to extreme means to defend them.
For instance: It is the right of parents to enjoy the peace and tranquility of their homes after they have sent their offspring off to college.
Conversely, it is not the right of every college student to return to their parent's home in the spring with 25 of their closest friends and turn it into a college dorm with maid service, free food, and a car with gas in it.
It is the right of every parent to rent their children's rooms, sell the house, or move without leaving a forwarding address once said children have left to further their education.
If parents decide to keep their homes and take the chance that said children will return, they have the right to demand services, rent, and obedience from any child who comes back to the homestead feeling needy.
This means that children's rooms will be kept tidy, they will do their own laundry, contribute to household expenses, find their own transportation, and do their part of basic household chores. The chores include cutting grass, painting and repairing where needed, cleaning, vacuuming, and picking up after themselves, as well as helping with the shopping.
It is not the right of any child to return to any parent's home unless they are invited after said child has graduated from an institution of higher learning. They have the right to get a job and an apartment.
Uphold those rules in your household and I assure you, your children will find other accommodations for the summer.
It is the right of every fisherman in America to decorate trees lining the shores of rivers and lakes with expensive lures, exotic handmade flies, and assorted other fishing gear.
It is the right of every fisherman's wife to demand that fundamental household chores be completed before fishermen are permitted to decorate said trees. The chores include cutting grass, painting and repairing, as well as landscaping and building projects that have been promised for more than a decade.
The aforementioned rule can be altered to fit the situation if said parents have a child returning from a year at college who can shoulder some of the burden.
Every man who owns a boat has a right to leave for a weekend of fishing, sunshine, and freedom from the demands of life on land. It is not his right, however, to leave his wife standing on the dock, bag in hand, thinking she is going with him.
This rule, though harsh, is particularly applicable if teenage children are involved. If she insists on bringing them, she can wait at the dock.
It is the right of every child to spend the summer helping parents with household maintenance. They also have the right to get a summer job to put away some savings for college expenses. If they are denied these rights, they have the right to protest, and they are entitled to their day in court. I suggest that they go to the local courthouse and file a complaint immediately, while the crowds are thin.
It is the right of young men to pursue young women and enjoy the rites of spring by experiencing the euphoria of young love. It is not their right however, to break their hearts, lest they have an uncanny desire to become a poster child for gun control. Some fathers take protecting their daughter's hearts rather seriously.
Enforce these rules, and life will be easier living in a system we can't understand.

Two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 killed three people and wounded more than 200 others. Authorities launched a massive manhunt for two suspects seen on surveillance video before one died following a gun battle with authorities and police captured the second suspect alive. A look at the basics of the case:
U.S. officials say the suspects appear to have been motivated by a radical brand of Islam although they do not seem connected to any Muslim terrorist groups.
Federal prosecutors on Monday charged bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction to kill for what they say was his role in bombing the Boston Marathon.
Authorities charged him in his Boston hospital room, where he was being treated for serious wounds.
If found guilty, Tsarnaev could get the death penalty for what authorities say was a plot that he and his now-deceased older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, carried out that killed three people and injured more than 200.
The criminal complaint cited surveillance-camera images of Tsarnaev dropping off a knapsack with one of the bombs and using a cellphone, perhaps to coordinate or detonate the blasts.
Family, friends and dignitaries gathered Monday for a funeral service for bombing victim Krystle Campbell, celebrating her life as someone who was always there for others and loved to smile.
People who couldn't find seats inside Saint Joseph Church in Campbell's hometown of Medford, Mass., also lined the sidewalks outside during the service.
The 29-year-old restaurant manager was watching the race near the finish line with a friend when the bombs exploded last week.
Gov. Deval Patrick and Roman Catholic Cardinal Sean O'Malley were among public figures at the funeral, where Irish tenor Ronan Tynan sang "Ave Maria."
At a memorial service Monday evening for Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old graduate student at Boston University, friends and family vowed not to forget the light in their lives that was extinguished too soon.
"You need us to be strong and brave," Jing Li said of her roommate, a native of northern China killed as she watched the marathon. "We will keep running to finish the race for you and we will try to realize your unfinished dream."
Patrick also was among the hundreds of people who attended the hour-long service.
Bombing survivors, residents and state officials were among thousands gathered in silence across the Boston area Monday afternoon, one week after deadly explosions erupted near the Boston Marathon's finish line.
At 2:50 p.m. — exactly one week after the bombings — many bowed their heads and cried at the makeshift memorial on Boylston Street, three blocks from the site of the explosions. Bouquets of flowers, handwritten messages, and used running shoes were piled on the sidewalk.
Gov. Deval Patrick bowed his head during the one-minute silent tribute while standing with other elected leaders on the front steps of the 215-year-old state capitol.
The governor then approached a microphone and said: "God Bless the people of Massachusetts. Boston Strong." No other words were spoken as church bells pealed throughout the city.
Surveillance tape late Thursday showed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Suspect No. 2, at a gas station. Authorities said the two suspects fatally shot a university police officer then carjacked a man and got involved in a chase with police that resulted in explosives being thrown from their car and an exchange of gunfire. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Suspect No. 1, was wounded and died later at a hospital.
After the death of one suspect and the capture of the other, people in Boston and its western suburbs thanked police, cheered, applauded and set off fireworks. Later, they gathered in silence near the site of the bombings to remember the victims. Some cried. Some wrapped themselves in American flags.
"Now I feel a little safer," Boston resident Beth Lloyd-Jones said.
Law enforcement officials and family members have identified the brothers as ethnic Chechens who had lived in Dagestan, in southern Russia. The brothers had been in the United States for about a decade and lived near Boston, an uncle said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose father has called him a "true angel," is a 19-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a 26-year-old boxer. Their uncle Ruslan Tsarni called them "losers."
Two bombs exploded about 10 seconds and 100 yards apart in Boston's Copley Square, near the finish line of the marathon. An 8-year-old boy, a 29-year-old woman and a 23-year-old graduate student from China were killed, and more than 200 people were wounded. The explosions occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the winners had crossed the finish line, but thousands of runners were still on the course.
Authorities have said they believe the bombs used were fashioned out of ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards. They say the bombs were hidden in backpacks and left on the ground.

Hartsville, SC- Game number two of Saturday's collegiate basketball double-header proved just as exciting as game number one. After the Coker Lady Cobras came back from a 14 point half-time deficit to take home the victory over Lees-McRae, the Coker men's team was able to battle back from a seven point half-time deficit for a victory of their own. The Cobras snapped a six game losing streak with a 77-75 win over the Bobcats of Lees-McRae. The win brings Coker's record to 6-12 overall, and 4-7 in Conference Carolinas play, while Lees-McRae falls to 2-14 overall, and 1-9 in the conference.
The Cobras trailed the Bobcats 37-30 at the half, only to battle back and out score Lees-McRae 47-38 in the second half. Coker was an even 50 percent from the field, shooting 28-for-56, while Lees-McRae shot 53.7 percent from the field, 22-for-41.
Coker big man, Mason Ambler (Atlanta, GA), lead the way for Coker with a game high 27 points, five rebounds and four assists, while J.C. Hafner (Jefferson, MD) had 13 points, 12 from beyond the arc, with three rebounds and four assists. Josh Poston (Myrtle Beach, SC) was the only other Cobra in double figures, scoring 12 points, while dishing out six assists.
For the Bobcats, Raysean Hairston and Nick Deschepper each had 16 points and five rebounds, while Blake Carr had 15 points, going 3-for-5 from 3-point land. Mario McClunie was able to be the fourth Bobcat in double figures with 10 points and three rebounds.
Coker and Lees-McRae return to the hardwood on Monday, as the Cobras travel to Anderson and Lees-McRae hosts Erskine. Both games tip-off at 7:30 p.m.

No attempt has been made to standardize the different structures or different book arrangements within Bibles. Some books, particularly Apocryphal books, will only be present in some Bibles. Verse structures will also vary.
For scholars of English literature, particular attention has been paid to the Renaissance period. All the most significant texts are included from the Tyndale to the King James and the highly influential Coverdale, Bishops' and Geneva Bibles.

text: Using hashtags as strategic objects Published on March 06, 2013. Hashtags as a way to call out a particular sentiment or be associated with a trending story on Twitter have been around for a while. Now they've expanded to other platforms, including Google+ and Instagram. With this evolution, brands are leveraging hashtags as a strategic tool to unify campaigns and connect with customers, says Paul Dunay in his Social Media Darwinism blog. Dunay offers several examples of how this is being done and a number of best-practice tips to help marketers transform conversations into engagement tools for existing customers while driving awareness to those customers' networks.

No matter the weather, you should probably be including some SPF in your morning routine. "At least a 15," says Dr. Craig Austin, a New York dermatologist with a summer outpost in the Hamptons. "But the lighter your skin—or the longer you'll be out in the sun—the higher your SPF should be." Here, the doc shares everything the average guy needs to know about the broad-spectrum skin savers.
UVA = These penetrate the ozone easily and can reach deeper into the skin, resulting in wrinkles.
UVB = Short-wave rays responsible for your sunburn and the radiation that causes skin cancer.
The "sun protection factor" indicates how long you can be in the sun before burning. So if you'd normally burn after 10 minutes, an SPF 15 will allow you to withstand 15 times that, protecting you for 150 minutes.
The amount of sunblock needed to cover your entire body—a shot glass worth.
Everyday: The non-greasy moisturizer locks in moisture but also blocks out the rays.
Jack Black, $26
The Water: A quick-drying, surfer-approved gel that won't wash (or sweat) off no matter how long you're in the pool.
Bull Frog, $8
Sports: This no-rub spray dries a tad tacky, meaning no slippery golf clubs or rackets.

STAFF at Darwen Vale High School have walked out this morning over plans to turn the school into an academy.
Members of the National Union of Teachers and National Union of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers have been joined by concerned parents on the picket line.
Passing drivers beeped their horns as they went past the Blackburn Road school where staff held banners that read 'Darwen Vale must remain Darwen Vale', 'Support our school' and 'No Aldridge academy here'.
The strike comes as the Department for Education has enforced academy status on the school following an 'inadequate' Ofsted report last year, despite an improved set of GCSE results and a positive follow-up inspection report.
There are also concerns at the DfE's preferred sponsor The Aldridge Foundation, which runs Darwen's other high schools Darwen Academy and Darwen Enterprise Studio.

Manchester's Slebodnick stars in Cornell's title winBy CAP CAREY
Watertown (N.Y.) Daily Times
March 10. 2014 9:27PM
POTSDAM, N.Y. — The moment the final buzzer sounded Sunday and Cornell's 1-0 victory over Clarkson in the ECAC Hockey championship game was complete, Clarkson's Jamie Lee Rattray bent forward near the boards and rested her head against the glass for a few moments.
Her green pants covered with ice shavings from tussling with Cornell players all afternoon, Rattray contemplated a disappointment in an area where her father, David, sits.
But about 15 minutes later as she came into a room at Cheel Arena for the postgame press conference, she still showed some signs of disappointment, but was already focusing on the upcoming NCAA Division I Tournament.
Cornell (24-5-4), which is hosting Mercyhurst in a quarterfinal, won its third ECAC Hockey Tournament title in the past four years, and second straight, by stifling Clarkson on defense throughout the game.
After scoring six goals Saturday in a semifinal against Quinnipiac, Clarkson's offense failed to put any shots past Cornell's Lauren Slebodnick on Sunday. Slebodnick, of Manchester, N.H., finished with 26 saves.
"I kind of knew what they were looking for, passes up front and screens for rebounds," Slebodnick said. "I was just keeping my eye on the back door and Rattray in particular. That's what I really focused on."
The Big Red's only goal came at 14 minutes, 27 seconds of the first period, when Cassandra Poudrier scored on a slap shot from between the circle and the blue line that hit off the left goalpost and dropped in. Cornell's Kaitlin Doering made a nice play in front of the blue line to keep Clarkson from clearing the puck a few moments before the goal was scored.
"I just called (Caroline DeBruin) for the puck and she passed it to me, and I just tried to put it to the net like we've been practicing all week and all year long and it just went through," Poudrier said. "I don't know, it just went in. We just played the system."
The Golden Knights gave up 12 shots in the first period, but allowed only four in the second and the third periods. Clarkson also held Cornell to one shot on two power-play chances.
After struggling to get much going in the first two periods, Clarkson finally started to show life in the third period and had several scoring chances on a power-play that came with 3:57 seconds left.
"We still believe in our team, it just didn't go our way today," Clarkson senior Vanessa Gagnon said. "We had a couple bad bounces, too. We definitely thought at the end, with that power play, that we were working so hard we were going to get our goal, but it didn't happen."

I stopped following all the patent trolling in the mobile industry months ago because, you know, I have a life, but apparently some big ruling just got handed down in the United States: using three software patents, a patent troll from Cupertino has been given an injunction on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, imposing a ban on the device. This patent trolling has to stop, blah, blah, we've all been here before. If you need me, I'll be over there on the sofa remembering the good old days when Cupertino was famous for great products, instead of infamous for its patent troll.

Big12Sports.com Correspondent
A year ago, TCU was facing the uncertainty of its first season in the Big 12 Conference. While compiling a 7-6 record in its first season at the "adult table" was commendable, it was below the Horned Frogs' standards.
The bottom line: TCU has become accustomed to finishing with 10 or more victories and playing in a major bowl. Year Two in the Big 12 promises a strong chance at double digit victories and a better post-season destination.
The preseason media poll pegged the Horned Frogs for third place behind Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and ahead of Texas.
"We can score a lot of points," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "But for us to be a national contender on a national scene, you've got to be able to play great defense in November and December and then January ball games to win national titles. You can score points, but you've got to be able -- in big ball games, you've got to be able to play defense."
Despite lacking upperclassmen, TCU led the Big 12 in defense last season. The Horned Frogs' secondary is one of the best in the nation and the line boasts a playmaker in sophomore defensive end Devonte Fields (he's suspended for the first two games).
Last season, TCU started 4-0 before quarterback Casey Pachall was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated in October. He left school to enter a rehab facility and freshman Trevone Boykin took over at quarterback.
Pachall, who is 15-2 as a starter, has returned for his senior season. He had Boykin entered preseason workouts battling for the starting job.
"Casey is a very talented young man," Patterson said. "How he handles everything and does will be an indication of how well we do in the Big 12 Conference. If you want to play well in the Big 12, you've got to play well at quarterback. Even last year, when Trevone played well, we won. When he didn't play well, we lost."
While it is assumed that Pachall will win the starting job, Patterson has hinted that both quarterbacks will play during the season. Each brings a different skill set and the TCU coach appears to like the idea of keeping opposing defenses guessing.
"You've got to prove people right or prove people wrong," said Patterson, whose team opens the season against No. 13 LSU. "In that case, we're going to try to prove to people that we can belong and try to move up. We've got an awfully tough game the first game of the season."
Coach: Gary Patterson, 116-36 in 14 seasons.
2012: 7-6 overall, 4-5 in Big 12, tied for 5th.
Bowl: Lost to Michigan State, in Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, 17-16.
Returning starters: 7 on offense, 9 on defense.
Key players: Senior QB Casey Pachall, sophomore QB Trevone Boykin, sophomore DE Devonte Fields, senior CB Jason Verrett, senior RB Waymon James, sophomore RB B.J. Catalon, junior WR Brandon Carter, senior S Elisha Olabode, junior S Sam Carter, sophomore K Jaden Oberkrom.
Three Key Questions
1. How will the quarterback situation shake out?
Senior Casey Pachall was the first-team QB on the Big 12 preseason team selected by the media. Sophomore Trevone Boykin played well in Pachall's absence last season. Patterson has hinted that no matter who is named the starter, both could play during the season. The TCU coach likes the idea of making the opposition spend practice time preparing for both.
2. How will the offensive line and linebacker positions shape up?
Both were at the top of Patterson's list before practice started and within the first few days each unit unexpectedly had a starter leave the team (left tackle Tayo Fabuluje and linebacker Joel Halsey). The offensive line unit has a combined 29 career starts.
3. Who will emerge as the go-to receiver?
Josh Boyce was last season's big-play receiver but he has moved on to the NFL. There are a number of talented receivers on the roster but the TCU passing game will be at its best if one emerges to make the clutch receptions.
Information, Please
TCU opens the season against LSU at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. In future seasons, the Horned Frogs have nonconference games scheduled with Minnesota, Arkansas and Ohio State. … The Horned Frogs return nine starters on defense, including Big 12 defensive freshman of the year, defensive end Devonte Fields. He was voted the preseason defensive player of the year. … For the 4th straight year, TCU football sets a new school record for season tickets sold. This year's number is 31,425. … TCU football is 1 of just 8 programs nationally to play in at least 2 BCS games over the last 4 seasons. … Senior quarterback Casey Pachall is the NCAA's career leader in passing efficiency (minimum 15 games).
Numbers To Note
Since 2005, TCU is 48-2 when it wins the turnover margin. … In 65 games over the last five seasons, the Horned Frogs' defense has 156 quarterback sacks and has forced 130 turnovers. … TCU was second in the nation in forcing three-and-outs last season, averaging 5.7 per game. … TCU played 16 true freshmen last fall, tying it with Texas for the most of any team in the FBS.

Islands on I-293 get sprucing up in Manchester
Staff report
— Traffic islands at the I293 interchange at Granite Street are getting a sprucing up as city parks workers remove ovregrown weeds that have crowded out the flowering perennials and shrubs.
A crew began clearing the three islands and median strip Friday and should be finished with the landscaping makeover by the end of next week, said Peter Capano, chief of the parks division within the city's Highway Department.
The clean up is partly the result of a nudge from West Side resident Jane E. Beaulieu.
Beaulieu said she began alerting highway and parks officials they were not maintaining the median and islands at the Exit 5 interchange as they were supposed to under an agreement with the state.
"They signed off on the project saying they would maintain it and they dropped the ball," said the Ward 10 state representative and former city conservation commission member.
Capano said the neglect was partly due to lack of staff, who devoted most of their time during the summer and early fall to maintaining high-traffic parks and athletic fields.
"We were planning to go there. It was on our radar," Capano said.
He said crews should be done clearing the site of weeds, making room for perennials and shrubs and bringing in bark mulch by Friday.
"It's amazing what one taxpayer can do to make things happen in our city," Beaulieu said.
Capano said the city relies on the volunteer Adopt-a-Site program to enlist individuals, groups and businesses to help keep parks maintained. But he said the Exit 5 interchange — with its multiple traffic lanes and highway ramps — is too dangerous to allow individuals to tend. A professional landscaping firm, however, would be able to handle the job, he said. Anyone interested should contact Jessica Chambers at the parks office at 624-6444.

Her Turn
"My son just announced that he's getting married. But I can't share the joy of this moment with my husband, Greg," said Diane, 39, who runs a home-based stationery business. "We go through the motions of being this happy couple, but our marriage hasn't felt loving or intimate since his affair five years ago — or maybe for years before that."
"Greg was literally the boy next door. I'd had a crush on him since I was 13. He didn't pay any attention to me, though, until I was about 16, when he came home from college one weekend. We started dating and quickly fell in love.
"Actually, love was something of a foreign notion to me back then because I came from such a troubled home. My mother was an alcoholic and was abusive to my father. They divorced when I was 12; my younger brothers and I lived with my mother. Some days, after long nights out drinking, she wouldn't get out of bed. I remember being very worried that I'd have to take care of my brothers.
"Because I grew up in such a dysfunctional family, my dream was simple: I wanted to get married, have children, and be happy. Even though I took classes at the local community college, I never liked school much. So when Greg asked me to marry him after his college graduation, I was more than happy to quit school and focus on him. He had landed a good entry-level job at an insurance company. We rented an apartment in our old neighborhood and, soon after our first anniversary, our son Scott was born. Peter came along 14 months later. Life was good: Greg enjoyed his work and was getting regular promotions; I had started my stationery business and was loving it. By the time Greg walked in the door each night, I'd have dinner on the table. We were happy, and to me it felt too good to be true. Maybe it was.
"Looking back, I think we started to have our first real fights about seven or eight years ago, when our son Peter was in junior high. Peter fell in with a bad crowd and started getting in trouble: skipping school, drinking, and smoking pot. Once we caught him sneaking out the bedroom window when we thought he was asleep.
"Peter's rebelliousness pushed all of our buttons. I'm fairly strict, but Greg is like a Marine drill sergeant. We argued constantly about how to set limits and mete out punishment. For instance, when I found pot in Peter's room, I confronted him. Peter swore it was the first time he'd ever used drugs and that he'd stop. I felt I had to give him the benefit of the doubt, but Greg thought I was completely mishandling him. 'You're afraid of your own child,' he used to tell me. 'You're walking on eggshells with him!' Well, maybe I was, but I didn't have a clue what else to do. I was so absorbed with him, so worried about getting him back on track, I didn't realize how much our disagreements about how to parent our son were driving a wedge between Greg and me. Our communication was strained. We only bickered, never talked. By the time Peter was a high school sophomore, he had thankfully straightened himself out. But our marriage was a mess.
"Greg had started to work longer and longer hours. He'd always have a reason for why he had to make the later train, and I never questioned it. But he also started acting strangely — he seemed agitated, restless. Then the phone calls started — I'd pick up and someone would hang up.
"After about three months of this, clueless me finally started to wake up. I asked Greg if there was someone else, but he denied it. When I asked if anything was wrong, he'd say no. Then one day, I was in the den, and for some reason I picked up the phone and overheard him talking to a woman. I didn't catch the exact words, but I didn't need to. I heard her voice — and his pause when he knew I'd picked up. I knew right away that my suspicions were correct: He was cheating on me.
"I confronted him immediately and demanded he tell me everything, which he did. The woman, Amy, worked in another department in his firm. She was a divorced, single mother with three young children. And she pursued him. Obviously, he hadn't put up too much of a fuss. The affair had been going on for two years! Greg swore that he had ended the relationship and apologized profusely, but I was furious — and still had my doubts that the affair was truly finished.
"Tensions were high. We continued to fight; one night the argument was so intense that Greg walked out of the house and went straight to a local bar, which he never did. He got very drunk and was walking home when he tripped over a pothole and landed on his neck. It was a freak accident, and it left him paralyzed from the waist down. Miraculously, he got full movement back five months later. That period is a big blur. I had to take care of the boys and Greg, plus shuffle him back and forth to his rehab therapy sessions. The whole affair incident was placed on the back burner for a while.
"Today, five years later, Greg walks with a limp and gets pins and needles and numbness in his leg; otherwise, he's fine. But memories of his affair still pop into my head. I know Amy still works at his company, and he admits that he talks to her occasionally, insisting that she's the one who initiates the conversations.
"Preparing for Scott's wedding had pushed our problems to the forefront. I want to be able to enjoy this time in our life, and all the other family milestones, with an open, loving heart. I want to share these experiences with my husband. I just don't know how to make us feel close again."
His Turn
"Those months in rehab made me realize what a fool I'd been," said Greg, 42, a tall, muscular man with a soothing voice. "I know how lucky I am that I'm not in a wheelchair. And cheating on Diane -- how stupid was that? There is no explanation other than I was in such an awful state of mind at the time.
"I feel horribly guilty for what I did to her. I knew it was wrong even when I was doing it, but I blocked out all sound judgment. Amy is an administrative assistant at my company. She's in a different department, but we'd bump into each other a lot. Sometimes we'd walk to the train station together. She came to me for help with her problems; I was her shoulder to cry on. Her husband had walked out on her and her three kids, and she saw me as the experienced father who could offer advice. Then it became more. I guess her interest in me fed my ego. Diane and I communicated so little back then. All we did was fight. So, when this sexy woman came on to me, I caved.
"Maybe my accident was God's way of punishing me. Who knows? Diane was an angel when I was in rehab. I was depressed for a long time, thinking about what I had done to Diane and the possibility that I'd never be able to walk again. Scott's engagement has been a total wake-up call for me. I need to get back on track with my marriage, put all the pieces of our family back together. I love Diane, but I hate the coolness between us. I've apologized over and over again, but I sense that she doesn't believe me. Whenever she asks me about Amy, I tell her everything. What else can I do? I can't look for a new job — in this economy and at my age, it's not so easy.
"I grew up next door to Diane. My family life was not as bad as hers — but it came close. I was the oldest of four, and my dad was an alcoholic who bounced from one job to another. Mom worked two jobs — delivering papers and as a cashier at the grocery. When Dad was drunk, he was an ogre. He backhanded us a few times. I couldn't wait to grow up and leave home.
"I was offered a football scholarship, which was my ticket out. My college years, and then when Diane and I started dating and first got married, were the best times of my life. She and I had so much fun together. I think she's right about when the problems began between us. Peter gave us a lot of grief. I thought she was letting him get away with murder. She'd harangue me for being too tough on him. We just couldn't get on the same page.
"That's when I started seeing Amy. I didn't like myself when I was doing it, but I did it anyway. Then I had my accident and I realized how close I'd come to losing everything. Since I've returned to work, I've seen Amy from time to time and we talk, but there's nothing more to it. Still, she's a ghost in the room with us. Diane can't let it go.
"Now, so many wonderful things are happening to our family — Peter's doing well, and Scott is set to marry a lovely young lady. Diane and I both know we have so much to look forward to — retirement, grandkids. I want to get back that connection Diane and I used to have. How do I prove that to her?"
The Counselor's Turn
"Diane and Greg were like many long-married couples who for various reasons, put their relationship on hold while they attended to the needs of raising a family," said the counselor. "On one level, they both believed they had moved past Greg's infidelity, yet the upcoming marriage of their son triggered feelings of longing and emptiness in both of them. They yearned to relive the joys of their 'old marriage,' yet neither knew how to rekindle the feelings they had lost.
"Part of the problem stemmed from their childhoods. Living with an alcoholic parent and having to handle grown-up responsibilities at an early age forced both of them to develop an unhealthy ability to tolerate emotional distress. The good news was that Diane and Greg knew what a happy marriage felt like, and I sensed that short-term counseling with specific suggestions they could put into practice immediately would help.
"Even though the affair was years ago, Diane was still beset with worries, still unable to trust, and she continued to feel threatened and insecure. They had never fully worked through the fallout of Greg's betrayal, since his accident forced them to focus solely on his recovery.
"I pointed out that some of the chilliness that both of them described in their relationship could be due to Diane's maintaining an emotional distance to protect herself against further pain. This wall was preventing her from re-establishing intimacy and from truly hearing and accepting Greg's heartfelt remorse. On the other hand, Greg felt resentful that, despite his apologies, he was still being rejected by Diane. He believed that the statute of limitations on his crime surely was up. When he sensed Diane pulling away, he pulled away, too.
"When I asked Diane, 'What do you need from Greg now?' she replied, 'I need him to stop talking to Amy altogether.' I agreed that was reasonable. Greg was reluctant to appear rude to Amy. So I coached him on what to say the next time she approached him: 'My marriage is the most important thing in the world to me, and my wife and I are working hard to make it stronger. When you come by my office, even to chat, it makes me uncomfortable, so please don't do it anymore.' When I asked Greg if he could say this, he said yes. When at the next session he reported that he had told Amy as much, Diane immediately relaxed.
"At this point, I suggested specific assignments that they could do to make each other feel special. These two plunged into this homework assignment, and found ways to treat each other nicely -- leaving loving messages on each other's cell phones, giving backrubs, buying funny cards. The old feelings, they soon reported, were coming back.
"By their son Scott's wedding five months later, Diane and Greg were ready to end counseling. They told me they were feeling closer than they had in years, and their recovered happiness showed on their faces. Still, they admitted they had more work to do. I explained that a marriage can't move forward unless couples let go of past hurts. 'It's not that you pretend they never happened,' I explained, 'but as long as you both work on making changes in the marriage, when you let go of the pain, you are freer to connect to your partner in a more loving way.'"

Court Report
District Court Judge John Ward has dismissed criminal charges against Lorraine "Lola" Reid who was accused of misappropriating funds belonging to the American Samoa Sailing Association (ASSA). The amount of the money in question is $1,130.
Reid was faced with embezzlement and stealing, both felony charges, which have been dismissed upon the request of the government.
The request came from the prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag who told the court the check has already been deposited into the ASSA bank account. However because the check is not a bank of Hawaii check, it's procedure that the check will have to be cleared within several business days.
Poag said Reid handed the check over to the government, which handed it to the ASSA last week Friday. Reid was represented by Assistant Public Defender Karen Shelley.
According to the government's case, on February 3, 2011 James McGuire filed a complaint with the Department of Public Safety regarding the ASSA Bank of Hawaii account, which was allegedly used by Reid for personal use. Court documents say that prior to the incident, Reid was a member and officer of the Pago Pago Yacht Club.
According to court documents, the account requires two signatures to withdraw funds from the ASSA account, however Reid signed a number of ASSA Junior Sailing fund checks made out to her name, and cashed them for her personal use.
In court documents Reid admitted to cashing six checks from August 12, 2010 to November 15, 2010, payable to herself and endorsed by herself without a second signature.
A man who allegedly struck his wife's head with a piece of lumber and is facing second degree assault, and private and public peace disturbance charges, has received a plea offer from the government.
Samoa News is withholding the name of the defendant to protect the identity of the victim involved.
The defendant is scheduled to be in court next week Monday for his pre-trial conference. In the meantime, details of the plea deal agreement are yet to be announced.
According to the government's case, police received a call from the LBJ hospital about a woman receiving treatment after she was allegedly assaulted by her husband.
According to the government's case the defendant had a verbal argument with his wife after she asked her husband not to go out drinking, which escalated into an assault.
The defendant has been released on bail of $5,000, and is represented by Assistant Public Defender Leslie Cardin while prosecuting is Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag.
An Asian store clerk has been placed on six months probation with the condition that she attend and successfully complete the training with the First Lady's Ta'ita'itama program to prevent underage drinking.
These are the conditions of Xiuxia Cao's sentencing after she entered a guilty plea to selling alcohol to a minor last week. Sentencing for Cao was handed down by District Court Judge John Ward.
Cao is one of the many store clerks being prosecuted for aiding a child to possess or consume alcohol in connection with compliance checks conducted by the First Lady's program.
Assistant Attorney General Blake Hanley told Samoa News the government is still conducting undercover operational buys to hold those accountable for violating the law and most importantly to keep beer and liquor out from the reach of young ones.
Blake reminds business owners holding a liquor license to attend the Responsible Beverage Server Training (RBST), a free course. The next one will be held next week on June 19, 2012.
Two female juveniles and Mariota Fa'atauava'a, a 19-year old 'mala' or transvestite were arrested Wednesday evening in Fagaima on allegations of public peace disturbance. They made their initial appearance in the District Court yesterday.
(Samoa News notes that the court and the police refer to Fa'atauava'a as a male transvestite)
The three are charged together with underage drinking, however with Fa'atauva'a the government is looking into filing additional charges against him for assault, resisting arrest and property damage. According to the government's case, police received a call that the three defendants entered church premises and yelled profanities.
Police affidavit say that when officers attempted to apprehend Fa'atauva'a he resisted by kicking and punching a police officer, and when placed in the police vehicle he repeatedly kicked the window until the window shattered.
The juveniles involved were not taken to the Tafuna Correctional Facility, they were released to their parents after they were taken to the police station.
Fa'atauva'a was confined over night at TCF, and released after his court appearance yesterday.
The trio, who are represented by Assistant Public Defender Karen Shelley, will appear in court on June 27, 2012 for a status hearing in this matter.

Jennifer Lawrence Will Star in The Rules of Inheritance
Directed by Serena's Susanne Bier.
Jennifer Lawrence likes to find a groove and stick with it. After making Silver Linings Playbook with David O. Russell, she joined Russell's American Hustle and a second, more distantly forthcoming Russell film called The Ends of the Earth. Now, Lawrence is set to reteam with her Serena director Susanne Bier for The Rules of Inheritance, with a script by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, Shame). According to Deadline, the movie's based on a 2012 memoir by Claire Bidwell Smith, "an only child who, over a seven-year period as a young adult, loses both her parents to cancer. While struggling to cope, she propels herself into many romances, adventures and travels in an inspirational, emotionally charged and surprisingly humorous journey that celebrates life, the people we love and lose and the discoveries we make along the way." And what does the actual Smith think of J-Law playing her? "It's so surreal that I can't think straight" and "um, I can't believe this is happening."

Celtics cool Heat in 2OT, learn Rondo's out for year
BY SportsDirect Inc.
BOSTON - Paul Pierce notched his seventh career triple-double and buried the go-ahead jumper with 30.4 seconds to play as host Boston snapped a six-game losing streak Sunday.
Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Pierce collected 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists as the Celtics snapped the Heat's four-game winning streak shortly after learning that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo was lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
LeBron James scored 34 points and grabbed a season-high 16 rebounds and ex-Celtic Ray Allen scored 21 points in his first game at TD Garden since leaving Boston to sign with Miami in the offseason.
James, who hit a tying 3-pointer with seven seconds to go in regulation to force overtime, converted a three-point play with 62 seconds left in the second extra session for a 98-95 lead.
Jason Terry hit a pair of free throws before Pierce hit a pull-up jumper over James and the Celtics withstood a missed 3-point attempt by Shane Battier to halt a four-game skid at home.
Rondo, who leads the NBA in assists with 11.1 and had back-to-back triple-doubles in his last two games, was injured late in Friday's double-overtime loss in Atlanta. He went to New England Baptist Hospital on Sunday for an MRI exam that revealed the injury. ... The Celtics displayed a video tribute to Allen - who played five seasons in Boston - during the first timeout that was initially greeted with loud boos before the crowd gave him a standing ovation. ... Chris Bosh had 16 points and 16 rebounds and Dwyane Wade scored 17 for Miami, which fell to 10-10 on the road

By Barbara Liston
SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - A year after the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in this central Florida town, there's a small memorial, a new police chief and an effort to improve race relations.
Trayvon Martin, 17, was gunned down on February 26, 2012 as he walked to his father's fiancee's home in one of Sanford's gated communities. The man accused of his killing, George Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic on neighborhood watch, is set to be tried on June 10.
Martin's death drew top-tier civil rights leaders, such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who brought a national spotlight to this town just north of Orlando and not far from Disney World.
That spotlight forced the town of 53,000 to confront police work that seemed to be a throwback to the days of separate and resolutely unequal racial sensibilities.
"This situation, with all eyes on Sanford is making them (city leaders) do something about it now," said Cindy Philemon, 49, who helps run the local black heritage museum and welcome center.
Over the weekend, volunteers in the black community hastily worked to complete a modest memorial of stuffed animals, cards and crosses in time to remember the first anniversary of Martin's shooting. It has also become a way for Sanford to remember the many other black victims of violence whose stories largely went untold.
City manager Norton Bonaparte, who is black, said Sanford had begun to tackle deep-seated problems between police and the black community that were exposed in public forums after Martin's death.
"In honoring Trayvon's life, we have to make ourselves a better community," Bonaparte said.
The police chief at the time of Martin's shooting lost his job over criticism that his department and prosecutors chose not to charge or arrest Zimmerman.
The new chief starts his job in April.
"Now, it's like the police are getting more involved in being with the community. They are starting to do their part in interacting with us," Philemon said. "They say there is not as many shootings as there once was."
Another resident, Thelma Holmes, 62, agreed saying, "It is better than what it was before, because we had a lot of killings of young men....The people and the police, they're both trying."
Trayvon's death will not be forgotten.
"It started people to come forward. So his death is not going to be in vain," said Philemon. "And he will always be remembered."
Martin's parents and lawyers will be in New York City, not Sanford, to hold a candlelight vigil on Tuesday night.
Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder, was granted bond and ordered to surrender his passport, agree to be electronically monitored, reside in Seminole County, and observe a night time curfew.

More Picture Book Gems of 2012
Here are a few more picture book gems that you may or may not have heard of. I used several of these in my storytime, and they received rave reviews from children. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have.
My Dad Is Big and Strong, But... : A Bedtime Story
Every night it's the same old thing, with dad refusing to go to bed. He wants to play, read stories, even sleep with me, and when he makes his pleading face, I always give in and read him another story. But that's it, since enough is enough. When it get's really tough, I tell myself, "Have courage. We're almost there." A boy's playful account of trying to put his dad to sleep gives children a delightful heads up on what a pain they can be at bedtime, while affirming the tender bond between father and son. A joyful, sweet, laughter-inducing book that children will clamor to read again and again!
Coralie Saudo is a children's book author and illustrator with an altogether terrific sense of humor. She has written over twenty books, many of which she has illustrated. In this volume, her high-spirited text is perfectly matched by the high humor of Kris Di Giacomo's illustrations. Born in Brazil, Kris Di Giacomo is a popular children's book illustrator who has lived in France for a long time. After a brief stint in the United States, she moved to France, where teaching English to young children and discovering French picture books were the triggers that led her into illustration. She has illustrated twenty picture books, a few of which she has written as well.

Let's Sing a Lullaby with the Brave Cowboy Jan Thomas.

Georgia in Hawaii: When Georgia O'Keeffe Painted What She Pleased Amy Novesky
Georgia O'Keeffe's Hawaiian tour celebrates natural beauty and powerful artistic convictions. Georgia O'Keeffe was famous for painting exactly what she wanted, whether flowers or skulls. Who would ever dare to tell her what to paint? The Hawaiian Pineapple Company tried. Luckily for them, Georgia fell in love with Hawaii. There she painted the beloved green islands, vibrant flowers, feathered fishhooks, and the blue, blue sea. But did she paint what the pineapple company wanted most of all? Amy Novesky's lyrical telling of this little-known story and Yuyi Morales's gorgeous paintings perfectly capture Georgia's strong artistic spirit. Lexile: 890
Sadly, picture books are often perceived as being "what little kids read." Georgia in Hawaii: When Georgia O'Keeffe Painted What She Pleased includes an author's note, illustrator's note, bibliography, map of the islands, and endpapers that identify Georgia's favorite Hawaiian flowers. This is a perfect example of why picture books should be included in every child's reading list.
Looking at Lincoln Maira Kalman.
This juvenile biography is in picture book format, and if you follow my blog, you have seen it before. So, why am I including it? Well, simply because I feel it's a really good book and one I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy.
Abraham Lincoln is one of the first giants of history children are introduced to, and now Maira Kalman brings him to life with her trademark style and enthusiasm. Lincoln's legacy is everywhere - there he is on your penny and five-dollar bill. And we are still the United States because Lincoln helped hold them together. But who was he, really? The little girl in this book wants to find out. Among the many other things, she discovers our sixteenth president was a man who believed in freedom for all, had a dog named Fido, loved Mozart, apples, and his wife's vanilla cake, and kept his notes in his hat. From his boyhood in a log cabin to his famous presidency and untimely death, Kalman shares Lincoln's remarkable life with young readers in a fresh and exciting way.

On July 31st and for the ninth year in a row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium gave young people with disabilities an opportunity to experience the freedom of being in the ocean when it hosted them for a 90-minute surface SCUBA experience through its Underwater Explorers program. This year's program was sponsored by a generous grant from Salinas Valley Memorial's Children's Miracle Network.
George Peterson, the Senior Diving Safety Officer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium tells us that "[they] have been purchasing some of the gear from Oceanic since the program's inception and it has certainly served us well! We love the pint-sized BCD's and the Explorers Regs are awesome! Jesus always does a great job for us."
This years Day of Discovery was another success and "next year we'll most likely purchase more gear from Oceanic as we may try to expand the program and add a family component" says Peterson.
24 young people with varying disabilities put on modified SCUBA gear and with the aid of the aquarium's certified dive staff, encountered sea creatures as they explored the aquarium's Great Tide Pool.
All participants were between 8 and 14 years old and some are confined to wheelchairs. The non-profit aquarium provided free access to the program and all exhibits for the young people and their families.
The magical day was in honor of 10- year old Zach Bunnell, who fulfilled a year-long wish to participate in Underwater Explorers in 2004, despite fighting brain cancer that left him blind. Bunnell passed away a few months after fulfilling his dream, but his gentle and witty spirit inspired several aquarium staff to offer this unique experience to other special needs children.
The aquarium developed the Underwater Explorers SCUBA program in 2002. It was warmly embraced by participants and was made a permanent summer program in 2003 to give children ages 8 to 13 an opportunity to have a similar SCUBA experience in the Great Tide Pool. This year's Underwater Explorers program debuted on June 18 and is running four times daily through Labor Day.
