If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
The reason why I say no is a first round draft pick has a guaranteed contract already in place. I would think the only way to sign the player for anything different than the guaranteed contract (2 years, plus 2 team option years) would be to renounce his rights.
I am sure part or maybe all the above is wrong but I don't think the hypothetical is possible.
Interesting comment on summer league next summer.Dwane Casey did a double-take. The new Raptors coach was talking with team president Bryan Colangelo about Jonas Valanciunas, the center Toronto chose with the No. 5 pick in last years draft.
Valanciunas buyout agreement called for him to play one more year with Lietuvos Rytas in Lithuania before he comes to the NBA, and Casey had asked Colangelo about the teams coach. Colangelo told him the name: Alex Dzikic.
Alex? Casey said. Thats my guy!
Indeed, in an odd twist for the team and Valanciunas, Dzikic served as an assistant with the Timberwolves when Casey was Minnesotas head coach five years ago. Now he is coaching Valanciunas. That might sound like something that was arranged in some sort of backroom deal, but actually, Dzikic was hired before Toronto tabbed Casey, and well before the NBA Draft.
Small world, Colangelo said. It was happenstance. It is nice to know someone we knew and had a relationship with was in a position to instruct the young man. There has been some communication from a basketball standpoint, coach to coach, and then some of the other things we are hoping to implement, assessing where he is physically and putting him on a program that could supplement what he is doing for his team.
The Raptors, naturally, are downplaying expectations for Valanciunas. He is only 19, after all, and it is probably not fair to heap pressure on him. But after substantial skepticism about the Valanciunas pick among Raptors fanswho wanted someone who could help the team right awayhopes have been risen based on the way Valanciunas has played, first in the FIBA U-19 World Championship (he was MVP), then in the Eurobasket tournament, where he was a rotation player for the Lithuanian national team.
Now, for Lietuvos Rytas, he has shown some brilliant flashes. He is averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in six Euroleague games, and in one stretch of three Lithuanian league games at the end of December, he averaged 18.3 points on 67.7 percent shooting. And that was in just 19.3 minutes per game.
For Toronto, having Dzikic as the coach helps ensure that Valanciunas will be able to make a smooth transition to what the Raptors do on the court. Thats a big thing, Casey said, because when he comes over next year, he is already going to know the system. I know Alex. They have the same defensive principles, the same system we have here. And he is going out and running it against men, against professionals who are 28, 29, 30 years old. He is not playing against college kids there. I think, when we get him, we are going to be very happy with where he is, basketball-wise.
Making the basketball aspect of Valanciunas transition smooth is only one of a three-pronged approach the Raptors are taking. They also want Valanciunas to be on the right physical program, so when he comes in for summer league next year, he is in peak shape. And they want to begin some cultural assimilation. Before the draft last year, Valanciunas was clearly uncomfortable talking with the mediahe can speak English but does not yet have a command of the language. That will be part of the agenda, too. Colangelo had hoped to have some of these things in place before now, but the lockout delayed those plans.
The Raptors will send assistant general manager Maurizio Gherardini to Lithuanua this month to begin working with Valanciunas.
Lietuvos Rytas, for its part, has been open to the Raptors involvement with Valanciunas. They were pretty clear during the discussions, prior to the lockout, that there was some reluctance obviously to us having any kind of input or presence, basketball-wise, Colangelo said. But they had no problem with the other aspects of things. Anything we could be doing to help him, to supplement some of what he was already doing to have him ready for the next step, they had no problem with it. You dont want to put yourself in a position where there is any kind of animosity from the team toward the NBA club. They might see it as interference, and we have been careful not to do that. We just want him to be as developed as he can when he comes.
If he is, Toronto could be in a nice position. Theyre a longshot for the playoffs this year, and if they dont earn a postseason spot, they will have a lottery pick in a very deep draft to go with Valanciunas. They also have about $10 million in cap space next year, and could have as much as $10 million more if they use their amnesty clause waiver.
Were very happy with where we are positioned right now, Colangelo said. We want to make the playoffsno one is instructing coach Casey to lay down and lose games. But no matter how it plays out, with Jonas, with the young players on our roster, with other pieces we will be in position to add, we like where we are.

Apparently Valanciunas was ill, flu or something like that, last weeks, and he wasn't practising today.
Coach interview
(At 00:20 he just mention JV isn't practising today, then talking other stuff, but starting 5:45 mark talking JV stuff till the end.
P.S. Gherardini was already in Arena, watching their last game and was seen talking with Jonas today.

Lithuania is participating in the last ditch tournament to get into the Olympics (2–8 July 2012). Summer League is usually in early July. I can't see Jonas not participating in the Olympic qualifier. As anybody heard anything different.
Raptors vice president M.Gherardini: Valančiūnas is lucky to be in Lietuvos rytas at this moment.
Our journalists interview, which wont be available in English I guess, but someone may be interested.
Briefly: Gherardini is looking forward for the CSKA game, doesn't judge Valanciunas on his last performance, in which he scored only 2pts. Thinks that he has improved, is mature as an personality, especially compared to others on his age. In his opinion Valanciunas will be available to adjust to NBA game, because he has all needed qualities of good NBA player and have already managed to adjust to very important roles in World Championship and Euro champ.
Furthermore, as mentioned in the title he believes that Valanciunas right now is in very good hands and is playing with a professional team. To the question "Do Raptors keep in touch with Lietuvos Rytas concerning Valančiūnas development" he answered, that yes and he's glad that teams have good relationship, they are sharing opinions and insights, although they cannot change the plans and objectives of L.Rytas, which are associated with JV.
Some insights about Sonny Weems, because he saw game between L.Rytas and Weems team. He is happy for him. And last question was about Raptors future plans, in which JV fits in perfectly, because he explained that Raptors are building their team around young players like DD, Bayless, Bargnani, ED.

There has been a lot of talk about how Jonas needs to put on weight to be most effective in the NBA because of the size of the centers/power forwards he will be matching up against. He has been playing against grown men for the last couple of years. Is there going to be that much difference playing in the NBA. I think the speed of the NBA players might be greater, but it looks like he is banging with guys 6'10" and up, weighing 225 -250. He certainly doesn't look out of place size wise. Anyone got any insight into how big his competition is?
Weight isn't a problem trust me It's most unimportant, why? Those are things, which come with time. He's extremely tall, has long stretched arms, have you seen how skinny he was 15? He made quite an improvement. And at this rate of adding weight he will be strong enough at 23/24. I believe this topic shouldn't be emphasized anymore. Thus, he shown as you mentioned that he can compete even with his current weight.

If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
1) the subject has been discussed in the past in a thread or two. It seems pretty clear form L. Rytas end and the Raptors end there is no chance of him coming.
2) This was your comment:
I fail to see how your comment of, and I quote, '...."Euro" crap that do not translate or tolerated on an NBA level.' relates to this message of this article. The article discussed the coach having worked with Casey in the past (which is something that had already been posted on the forums prior to this) and running the same systems (which by the way is being run in Europe - so I guess Casey and the NBA is crap too?), he is playing against grown men (who by the way play the same "Euro" crap you seem intolerant to), and getting on a Raptors/NBA training program seems to be something any team would do with a prospect if they knew they would be on their team the following season - be it an NCAA or Euro prospect.I doubt that is happening, he is too busy with his own team. I just hope the coaches there on his team won't ruin him and let him get away with too much "Euro" crap that do not translate or tolerated on an NBA level.
3) Within your thread Soft Euro specifically asked you what "Euro" crap meant:
To which there was no reply and I made this reply to the "Euro" crap statement:Oh, yeah, Euro crap. Hate that. Btw, what is that exactly?
To which there was also no reply.Exactly. I think the comment was best ignored because clearly anyone who would apply the 'euro' stigma (which of itself is ridiculous and is another way of saying white, European jump shooter) to JV really does not know a thing about the guy. There are many North American players (white and black) who you could apply the 'euro' stigma to but of course we don't because it is ridiculous to begin with.
4) From here we got comments related to nothing of value or importance to the discussion and it was, in my opinion, only a matter of time before the "Euro" crap hit the fan. The thread was locked with a post making reference to things in European toilets.
I apologize if I have somehow offended you. However, there was no clarification or follow up on your original statement and it appears I was not the only one to interpret it in a negative context. The reason why your thread was dismissed was because it was going to a place best left for RealGM or other forums with little to no guidelines or expectations. Also the fact there was already a thread about this subject didn't help the cause.
BIG game for L. Rytas and JV today.
They are playing CKSA Moscow. Game is at noon eastern.
JV started.
He got off to a great start: 3/5 for 6 pts, 3 rebs, 1 ast but now he has 2 fouls in about 5-6 minutes of action.
"In particular, a good basketball game. Both teams demonstrated a good game. Atmosphere in the arena - good. As for John, he tries to find his rhythm. It works well to block opponents attacks, throws. But I think he should be more included in the game. True, a few other well-played "Lithuanian Rytas players Seibutis, Rašičius, which falls well outside the penalty area. And when the door is open, it is necessary to go through them "- a match between Vilnius of Lithuania in the morning, and Kaunas Zalgiris break in an exclusive interview with the portal Krepsinis.net spoke to the Toronto Raptors' Maurizio Gherardini vice president.
Italian performance žibančio J. Valanciunas principinėje duel did not see - the mid-points of the attacker has won the fourth end of the half time (total - 2 pts.), And statistics "rescued" 8 rebounds in 19 minutes. Symbolically, his reputation against M. J. Gherardini Valanciunas will be able to correct the Wednesday duel against CSKA Moscow, but the Raptors' head should not give a categorical view of just two games - its value to a young Lithuanian talent proved to the world junior championship and the Lithuanian national team, as well as helping " Lithuanian Rytas 2011-2012 season.
Possibly appear before the "Grunwald" is hindered by too much attention from fans or, for example, the Raptors' vice president's visit?
"Pressure is part of basketball. Every day he must come to terms with stress. Need to learn how to avoid pressure during each match. How much I had to communicate with John, I had the impression that this is a mature personality and it can withstand the stress. From experience I can say that the young players are paid to do so. Good match to occur, there are bad, but everything on nesuversčiau pressure "- said M. Gherardini.
- Why choose now to come to Lithuania? - Portal Krepsinis.net said Raptors vice president.
- It is very important to follow the season in Europe, and we are even more important to follow John's season - as he is successful and how it progresses. An opportunity to observe how Valanciunas looks very strong against rivals, and the game against Zalgiris and CSKA Moscow will showcase how the player is improved.
- What kind of progress you see Valanciunas game since the last time you saw him playing live?
- Last I saw him once Junior World Championship in Latvia. Obviously, I have watched him through the computer. However, comparing his game now and in Latvia it is difficult - the significantly different roles. Not easy to compare the level of youth and men. However, I believe that all the benefits of the same - a very good fight for the ball, jumping, toughness, aggressiveness. In my opinion, Valanciunas grow as a player and getting better. I see now that it is much better known, when, where and how to rotate the square. This proves that it is working and moving forward. This is - okay.
- You see, as John compete here, "Siemens" arena, but can already imagine him fighting squares in the NBA?
- John is not even twenty, but it has everything to become a good player: capacity, height, bounce and basketball understanding. Now the NBA is a lot of newcomers who are 19-20 and they are getting used to a different basketball. In turn, John was lucky that he can now play good basketball, where you are today - a good team with a good coach. Therefore, it is currently raising its game. And when the time comes, he showed the world junior championship and the men's team, there is no doubt that it will pay to adapt to being a significant player.
- Are the Raptors maintain a relationship with Lithuania in the morning team, helping Valanciunas already get used to the NBA?
- No, no. Yes, both teams are in good relations, but we can not interfere in the Lithuanian morning's plans, objectives. But without a doubt, the connection is. Shared their views and comments. Nevertheless, John is now "Lithuanian Rytas player and he does everything to win his current team. But, of course, well, the Raptors "and Lithuanian Rytas contact.
- Lithuania's games and the club for representing another former Raptors player Sonny Weemsas. Or no regrets now that he is not the NBA and in Europe, where a perfect game?
- Sometimes the solutions are not only explains the value of the players. Sometimes a lot of time calculation, contract considerations. This year was an exceptional year for many teams, not just the Raptors had to take a decision on the lockout. I think that Weemsas took the best decision, coming at a high level team like Zalgiris' and continued to develop his game. This experience is very useful to him in the future and whether it is connected with Europe or the NBA. He likes in Europe, he enjoyed the experience. No one knows where it will be a few months.
- Do some Valanciunas finally come to Toronto, the team will be much difference?
- Now, it is difficult to talk about it. But I can say is that the team tried to rally around the young players. We are lucky as a club currently playing - compete much more aggressively, to better defend themselves. The game we are building on young players - Bargnanio, DeRozano, Davis, Baylesso. I think these players are the Raptors' future. How things unfold, we will see in the future"
Lithuanian article translated...somewhat poorly
Big loss to arguably the best European team, 84-67.
I can't find a box score. I did watch a few minutes of the game but other things came up. For whatever reason, the VTB website is not letting me see much.
You have to love this thread that so closely follows our man in Europe. Can't wait to see him in the red and white...or red and black...or camouflage...whatever. Not too worried about his two points the other night. He only took 3 shots. If one more went in we'd be lauding his 67% touch. As noted, he must not have been feeling too well. Onwards and upwards
Box score here.
JV's line:

It is unfortunate he got in to the early foul trouble. He was on a roll early (3/5 fg) with a nice drive for a dunk and putback for a dunk.

Free agent Ichiro signs two-year deal with Yankees
Ichiro Suzuki is staying in pinstripes.
The free agent outfielder signed a two-year deal with the New York Yankees, the team announced Wednesday. Financial terms weren't revealed, but various media reports put the contract's total value between $12 million and $13 million.
"The Yankees are the kind of team that I always envisioned being a part of," Suzuki said in a statement released by the team. "Everyone in the world of competition has a strong desire to win, but the Yankees also have an atmosphere where losing is not an option. These two observations may sound similar, but I believe it is a rarity to find both coexisting in the same organization.
"I believe the Yankees organization appreciates that there is a difference between a 39 year old who has played relying only on talent, and a 39 year old who has prepared, practiced, and thought thoroughly through many experiences for their craft. I am very thankful, and I will do my best to deliver on their expectations."
The Yankees acquired the 10-time All-Star from the Seattle Mariners in a trade on July 23. In 67 games with the Yankees, Ichiro hit .322 with five homers and 27 RBI. He struggled earlier in the season with Seattle, batting .261 with four homers and 28 RBI in 95 games. His overall total of 29 steals was the lowest figure of his career.
While Ichiro split time between left field and right field with the Yankees last season, he figures to land permanently in right field next season. New York's previous right fielder, Nick Swisher, is a free agent, and numerous teams reportedly are interested in signing him.
If Ichiro, 39, enjoys two more big seasons in the Bronx, he could reach the 3,000-hit milestone. He has 2,606 hits in his major league career, which began with 11 1/2 seasons in Seattle before the deal to New York.
Over nine seasons in the Japanese leagues, Ichiro compiled 1,278 hits, giving him a grand total of 3,884. The all-time Major League Baseball record for hits is 4,256, held by Pete Rose. Ichiro would have to play well into his 40s to challenge that mark.

St. Jospeh Parish's 25th anniversary committee members Sandra Mitchell, Delores Sutton, Ann Gowdy, Mary Harvy, and Diane Ashour participate in the Mass opening the celebration on March 19. (Photo by Donna Ryckaert)
Longtime Arlington residents Paul and Beverly Windsor still recall the sense of comforting familiarity they experienced in 1989 when they first encountered the community now known as St. Joseph Church in Arlington.
The couple had previously served as volunteer adult mentors within the Catholic student community at the University of Texas in Arlington. Then they learned that a new parish was forming in the area. The Windsors met Father James Miller, the founding pastor of the emerging faith community, and discovered an immediate connection. They appreciated his family-like approach to parish life, says Beverly. "Fr. Jim told us that this church was like our home, and we were to take care of it like it was ours," she recalls. "[He told us]"If you see trash, pick it up. If you see a weed, pull it."
Twenty-four years later, the Windsors continue to serve as volunteers within the well-established parish community at 1927 SW Green Oaks Blvd. in South Arlington.
Fr. Miller, known affectionately as "Father Jim," was appointed by Bishop Joseph Delaney to serve as the first pastor of the community on July 1, 1988. The beloved priest celebrated the emerging Catholic community's first Mass at their temporary home, Key Elementary School in Arlington, on Sept. 4 with approximately 90 parishioners in attendance. On Oct. 16, the Sunday Mass was moved to Bebensee Elementary School in Arlington. Parish committees were formed and planning for construction of a church began.
Two years later a chapel and multipurpose building were completed. Mass was celebrated there for the next decade until June 24, 2000, when Bishop Delaney dedicated the current church. The church now seats 1,600 people and features soaring ceilings with high stained-glass windows that paint the church interior with warm colored light.
In almost 25 years, the parish has grown into an internationally diverse community of more than 3,200.
St. Joseph's community has planned an anniversary year of celebrations that began with an opening Mass celebrated by pastor Father Daniel Kelley March 19, the feast day of the church's patron saint, St. Joseph. The opening procession included former pastors and staff members from the church and school, representatives of various councils and committees, and members of the Knights of Columbus. Colored banners were brought forward by representatives from the procession and displayed on the altar prior to the homily. Fr. Kelley then introduced the gathered leadership, and also offered praise for the founding members of the parish. "We are a diverse community, with members from all over the world," he reminded the congregation. "We are the body of Christ… together we will continue to make St. Joseph's thrive and grow."
The Prayers of the Faithful gave evidence of that diversity as they were spoken in seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Ghanaian, Nigerian, Vietnamese, and Filipino. The Nigerian and Ghanaian communities participated in the offertory by presenting baskets of food, gifts for the needy of the parish.
The anniversary Mass was followed by a reception, featuring refreshments and shared memories. Rich and Peggy Singleton, parishioners since1993, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reflect on the blessings of the past several years within their faith community.
When asked what brought the couple to St. Joseph's, Rich recalled the spirit of those early days of the parish. "The people…. and Father Jim," he said, simply. "I just felt like I belonged, from the very first time I went."
Longtime Arlington residents Paul and Beverly Windsor still recall the sense of comforting familiarity they experienced in 1989 when they first encountered the community now known as St. Joseph Church in Arlington.

This study is maintained and distributed by the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), the aging program within ICPSR. NACDA is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Heath (NIH).
Longitudinal Study of Generations, 1971, 1985, 1988, 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2005 [California] (ICPSR 22100)
Principal Investigator(s): Silverstein, Merril, Syracuse University; Bengtson, Vern L., University of Southern California-Los Angeles
The Longitudinal Study of Generations (LSOG), initiated in 1971, began as a survey of intergenerational relations among 300 three-generation California families with grandparents (then in their sixties), middle-aged parents (then in their early forties), and grandchildren (then aged 15 to 26). The study broadened in 1991 and now includes a fourth generation, the great-grandchildren of these same families. The LSOG, with a fully elaborated generation-sequential design, allows comparisons of sets of aging parents and children at the same stage of life but during different historical periods. These comparisons make possible the investigation of the effects of social change on inter-generational solidarity or conflict across 35 years and four generations, as well as the effects of social change on the ability of families to buffer stressful life transitions (e.g., aging, divorce and remarriage, higher female labor force participation, changes in work and the economy, and possible weakening of family norms of obligation), and the effects of social change on the transmission of values, resources, and behaviors across generations. The LSOG contains information on family structure, household composition, affectual solidarity and conflict, values, attitudes, behaviors, role importance, marital relationships, health and fitness, mental health and well-being, caregiving, leisure activities, and life events and concerns. Demographic variables include age, sex, income, employment status, marital status, socioeconomic history, education, religion, ethnicity, and military service.

Contrary to what we may think about ourselves, it turns out we do a far better job of gathering evidence to support our views than we do weighing factual data in establishing them. This is quite handy for those of us who like a good story and it is convenient for post-hoc analysis as well.
Take the apocalypse. Until recently, I hadnt given much thought to the purported Mayan-foretold promises of the worlds demise. But lately, Ive been trying the notion on and have been overwhelmed at just how much data there is to support the premise that our days could number in the single digits.
There have been epic, unprecedented meltdowns performed by my nearest and dearest, for instance, and the increasingly inexplicable behavior of drivers on roads cannot mean nothing.
Then there are the far more serious examples of something being amiss: Dylan Redwines disappearance days before Thanksgiving or the heart-shattering events Friday at a Connecticut elementary school. It is easy to assign these occurrences a common denominator, using them to shore up a conviction that the world must be about finished.
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist who discusses this phenomenon in his book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. He uses moral psychology to explain that conscious reasoning functions like a press secretary who automatically justifies any position taken by the president. The principle such behavior demonstrates, Haidt says, is that, intuitions come first, strategic reasoning second.
While it comes in handy for knitting together a narrative that explains why things are the way they are according to each of us the principle is also essential for the Monday-morning quarterbacking that follows elections, informing analyses ad nauseam. It can be great fun both to predict the future and analyze the past, and the bedfellows such a practice can make is even more interesting because the facts can come from anywhere; after all, some would perhaps say that President Obamas re-election or the new makeup of the La Plata County Board of Commissioners are sure signs that God has turned his back on us because both are obviously a United Nations conspiracy.
Or maybe they mean that voters locally and nationwide are fundamentally dispirited with the leaders they are offered.
While Obamas victory was decisive, it was hardly a landslide, and both Julie Westendorff and Gwen Lachelt won by microscopic margins. That voters were neither impressed enough with Mitt Romney to elect him nor sufficiently enamored with Obama to sweep him to victory supports a ho-hum feeling among Americans about their president. The slim victories Westendorff and Lachelt won could be explained by a countywide cynicism about the efficacy of the commissioners in general that the leadership options were a virtual toss-up.
That is far from the case both at the local and national levels and it is now incumbent upon those elected in November to help voters draw different conclusions. Doing so will not be easy, but engaging constituents in meaningful discussions about values, goals and policies that embody them will be instrumental to that success.
Locally, there is plenty to support a conclusion that voters are jaded about county government. The comprehensive planning process that imploded a year ago left many feeling demoralized, and the county commissioners responsible for the plans demise have not since done much to remedy those blues. The explanations offered suggested that the plan was the victim of a dysfunctional system rather than a breakdown of leadership. No wonder, then, that voters were not particularly enthusiastic about any candidates incumbent or otherwise.
Westendorff and Lachelt have the opportunity and challenge of changing that perception. They will be successful if they champion a revived comprehensive planning process that sets clear goals and commits to achieving them. This will be neither easy nor expedient, but success in the effort will have far-reaching positive consequences for the county and for civic engagement.
Haidts model suggests that the effort can be community-building: The main way that we change our minds on moral issues is by interacting with other people. We are terrible at seeking evidence that challenges our own beliefs, but other people do us this favor, just as we are quite good at finding errors in other peoples beliefs, Haidt says. But, he warns, that the context in which that exchange of evidence occurs is critical: When discussions are hostile, the odds of change are slight. ... But if there is affection, admiration or a desire to please the other person, it can and often does occur.
Given the hard feelings that may still be bristling after the comprehensive plans failure, this scenario is a bit Kumbaya. There is reason to be hopeful, though, and it is important that we give the new county board a chance to re-engage its constituents. Even if our minds are already made up, listening to people we like and respect though might not agree with can broaden our perspectives. At the very least, it is a rosy post-apocalyptic vision that I am busy gathering evidence to support. Heres hoping.

East of Eden
Today is World Vision's annual Day of Prayer. To mark the beginning of our new fiscal year, staff members all across the globe gather together to spend the day in prayer and fellowship.
For today's post, World Vision writer Kari Costanza reflects on the need for prayer around the world. Join us.
* * *
And the Lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. —Genesis 3: 22-23
* * *
We live East of Eden. It is an imperfect place. A place where children are hungry. Where women grieve. Where men's dreams die. And in Kenya, where cries for mercy are muffled by the sound of gunfire.
I have been watching Kenya's 9/11 unfold on television, Facebook, and through emails from friends who live in Nairobi. My friends are reeling, their eyes opened as mine were on our terrible day in 2001. On that day, we realized that even safe places are unsafe.
Now, because of the attacks at Westgate Mall, Kenya knows this, too.
In Kenya, World Vision is working to restore Eden through projects in water, sanitation and hygiene, child protection, and health. Donors from the United States sponsor more than 41,000 girls and boys.
Kenya is one of my favorite countries, having made seven trips there to cover stories for World Vision. The people I've met in Kenya have changed my life. They are as beautiful as the landscape, where flamingos flock lakeside, encircling still, blue waters with rings of bright pink. When the sun streams through the clouds, the crimson soil of the Rift Valley practically glows with goodness.
In Kenya, I have listened to incredible stories, feasted my eyes on beautiful sites, and I have even stopped to shop. At Westgate Mall.
Two years ago, I was covering the story of drought in the Horn of Africa, preparing to go to Dadaab refugee camp on the Somali border. I had dinner with fellow staff members at Westgate Mall -- a delicious meal of Indian curry and hot, buttery naan. Afterward, we shopped. I bought two lovely blouses -- one red and one green with flecks of gold. It was a light moment in preparation for a frightening time. I knew I was going to a dangerous place. We'd have to hire security guards to be with us while we were in Dadaab.
But at the Westgate Mall that night, I felt no fear.
I am familiar with fear. I covered World Vision's response in New York City shortly after the attack on the World Trade Center. The theater district had reopened and there were tickets to be had, but I wouldn't go inside. I was afraid to venture into crowds. I no longer trusted people or places.
How I felt after September 11 could only be vanquished through prayer. Prayer is restorative. It can banish fear, yield strength, and bring us back to God.
That is why today, to mark the beginning of our new fiscal year, World Vision staff will not spend the day planning programs and predicting progress. Instead, we'll spend it praying. We know that we live East of Eden -- our new address a result of sin. In this new world, we must cover our nakedness, sometimes even in blouses from upscale malls in Nairobi. And we must pray.
At World Vision, our Day of Prayer gives us an opportunity to say that we are sorry that we wrecked creation. To thank God for loving us still. To pray for our colleagues in dangerous places around the world. And to beg for another chance to be redeemed.
Would you join us?
Please join our staff today in praying for our work, our colleagues, and the children, families, and communities we work with around the world.

Ford is no stranger to relatively
expensive hybrid
powertrains or turbocharging,
but it is using an off-the-shelf, normally aspirated V6 to boost fuel
economy in its 2011 Mustang. Base Mustangs have long been the
laughing stock of the sporty coupe market with drivers limping along
with a "whopping" 210 hp (240 lb-ft of torque) from a
4.0-liter V6 engine. That engine is rated at 18 mpg in the city and
26 mpg on the highway with a 5-speed manual transmission (16 mpg/24
mpg with a 5-speed automatic transmission).
Ford's base 2011 Mustang, however,
should be able to give a little more dignity to those who choose not
to go the GT route. The 2011 Mustang is now powered by a smaller,
3.7-liter V6 which pumps out an impressive 305 hp and 280 lb-ft
of torque (at 6500 rpm and 4250 rpm respectively). The new engine is
also 40 pounds lighter than the outgoing unit.
For the eco-conscious folks out there,
fuel economy is up as well despite the 31 percent improvement in
power. This time around, it's the automatic transmission (6-speed)
that gets the best fuel economy at 19 mpg city/30 mpg highway. The
6-speed manual transmission is not far behind at 18 mpg city/29 mpg
With the V6 Mustang now within 10 hp of
its more expensive GT brother, Ford is expected to announce a new V8
engine for the vehicle that will be rated at around 400/400
For comparison, the Mustang V6's arch
enemy -- the Camaro V6 -- is rated at 17 mpg city/29 mpg highway.
Considering that the new Mustang V6 now offers relatively the same
punch as the Camaro V6 while weighing around 400 pounds less means
that a whole new round of pony car wars is likely to begin.

Crossfire is a multi-player graphical arcade and adventure game made for X. It has certain flavours from other games, especially Gauntlet and the rogue-like games (Nethack, Moria, Angband, and Ragnarok). Any number of players can move around in their own window, finding and using items and battling monsters. They can choose to cooperate or compete in the same world.
LDMud is an LP-class MUD engine, meaning it is object-oriented, with all object clases stored in unique files. The engine runs compiled bytecode to manipulate those objects, and the underlying simulated processor is a stack machine. It is a 3rd-generation LP-class MUD, being derived from Amylaar, which in turn was derived from the original LPMud. The game has no limitations on the nature of the game space other than the limits of your coding.
libtelnet is a small library for writing telnet protocol handlers in C. It uses a fully correct state machine model and full RFC 1143 (Q Method) option negotiation. It includes optional support for MUD-specific protocol extensions such as MCCP2 and ZMP. Several test programs are included, such as the very useful telnet-proxy utility.
MV3D is a virtual world and multi-player game framework for use with Python. It was designed with scalability in mind and is able to distribute a world across as many servers as needed while dynamically balancing the load. The simulation framework is not specifically slanted towards any one genre of online game or virtual world, and can just as easily be used for a space game as a fantasy setting. Objects on an MV3D server can be simulated using the ODE physics engine for realistic interactions. A single server is able to host thousands of of simulated objects. The client works with both the Ogre3D and Panda3D renderers.
Cancan is a text-based, interactive utility similar to telnet, but with a number of extensions useful for MUD playing. Another use might be to provide line editing, aliases, etc., for those services that have a simple telnet interface. Cancan features aliases, actions, key bindings, text highlighting, substitutions, and line editing with history and completion.
Vallheru is a turn-based, fantasy MMORPG written in PHP and MySQL (but may work with many other databases) with Smarty Template Engine, ADOdb, and PHP Mailer. It is based on Gamers-Fusion 2.5 with many modifications in security, speed, and features. It is currently available only in Polish.
JamochaMUD offers Unicode, plug-in, and multi-language support (8 different languages) to allow a more enjoyable MUCKing/MUDding experience. It features command history, synchronized window controls, experimental SOCKS 5 support, and greatly improved ANSI colour support. It plays nice on Unix systems, supports a wide range of MU*s, and also includes emulation of some TinyFugue editor controls. JamochaMUD includes classes that may be easily reused in other Java applications.
A next-generation build system.
A library that solves Freecell games.

Warren Spector is known for realizing vivid game worlds and Junction Point delivers his vision adequately. Despite the intricacy of the world however and the beautiful High Definition graphics on the Wii U, this game is plagued with all the classic pitfalls.
Super Gamer Dude
Wii U
There is a nostalgic appeal to the Epic Mickey series that cannot be denied. Not nostalgia for the golden age of Disney films but the very genesis of film animation and the construction of the Disney Parks from there inception in 1956 to today. Epic Mickey 2, guided by the expertise of Warren Spector, constructs a world built from pieces of Disney history.
The story of Epic Mickey is pretty barebones. The Mad Doctor, who was supposedly defeated in the first game, returns to wreak more havoc on the Wasteland. Mickey is called to save the day again with his magic paintbrush, and Oswald comes along for the ride this time around. A game like this doesn't call for a complex narrative though. The simplicity is typical of any children's game and effectively opens the door for any range of imaginative level design. The story's cutscenes are also given an excellent shot in the arm with the addition of some excellent voice acting plus full-blown musical numbers to give the game a Disney musical feel.
Where the game falls apart though is in the game play. There is a problem that every 3D platformer encounters and must address at some point in its development, and that is camera controls. Nintendo, in a stroke of genius, solved this problem in the Super Mario Galaxy games by having the majority of the levels take place on spheres, meaning that the camera will never have any walls to navigate or to block the player's view of the character. This elegant solution unfortunately cannot be applied to every 3D platformer and Junction Point's previous Epic Mickey game was marred by poor camera controls. Nothing has changed in that field for Epic Mickey 2. Though playing with two analog sticks is much preferred to the stopping and re-centering the camera that Wii players will endure. The camera tends to want to be too close to the ground and seems to always want to get stuck or bounce off of walls. The effect the camera has on a 3D platformer like Epic Mickey cannot be understated either. Adjusting the camera angle to make the perfect jump is one of gaming's great pleasures, and Epic Mickey 2 leaves the player feeling more frustrated than satisfied.
Epic Mickey 2 offers a cooperative mode that allows you to play the campaign along with another friend. This mode makes it infinitely easier to access the game's more interesting nooks and crannies because the AI driving Oswald always seems to be one or two steps behind what you actually want him to do. Playing through the game alone is an unsatisfactory way to experience this vivid world because the inconsistency of Oswald makes it hard to expect him to do anything beyond what is necessary to move on to the next area in the game.
Warren Spector is known for realizing vivid game worlds and Junction Point delivers his vision adequately. Despite the intricacy of the world however and the beautiful High Definition graphics on the WiiU, this game is plagued with all the classic pitfalls of a 3D platformer, issues which, in this console generation, are hard to forgive.

About The Manufacturer
Culp realized that people needed an easily adaptable furniture system that allowed them to reconfigure spaces to their changing needs. In a small workshop in a professor's garage, he set out to create a furniture system that was both simple to assemble and easy to reconfigure as needed. He succeeded and received a patent on his Signature Line system.
By 1998, Smart Furniture was up and running in Palo Alto, California. Smart Furniture relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2001, where Culp expanded the company and founded a local manufacturing, warehouse, and shipment distribution system for the company's Signature Line products.
Along the way, Culp's experience in the Peace Corps provided a founding principle of Smart Furniture: Help people help themselves. This simple but effective principle was the basis for a business model he called Design on Demand. Smart Furniture's Design on Demand model was created to give both residential and business customers the opportunity to design their own spaces and customize furniture products to their needs, quickly and easily.
The next step was to make the model come alive through technology on our website, Smartfurniture.com.

Alabama Telco CU Cites Strong Mix of Deposits, Loans for Banner 2012
Sticking to its formula of building relationships rather than building numbers, Alabama Telco Credit Union credits that model for a strong 2012.
The cooperative in Birmingham, Ala., said it closed last year with $527 million in deposits, $341 million in loan volume and assets in excess of $591 million.
In 2012, Alabama Telco said, it continued to ride the credit union wave started from the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement and Bank Transfer Day with competitive rates, fees and service. The credit union serves more than 58,000 members.
"Despite the market's steady dip in rates last year, we continued to see an increase in deposits as we worked with members in meeting their savings goals," said Linda Cencula, president/CEO of Alabama Telco.
The credit union also opened a record number of credit cards as it tried to help members consolidate their debt and spend more affordably, Cencula added.
Alabama Telco also launched a business services division in 2012 that has helped a number of local businesses, including A Plus Silk Screen, a small business in Odenville, Ala., that was shunned by several banks when owner Glenn Sasser wanted to grow his firm.
"We hold true by building relationships with our members and not simply building numbers, which is the reason for our success and the reason members keep coming back," said Gary Cannady, board chairman for Alabama Telco.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mark Udall mailed letters to two federal agencies this week urging swifter action to modernize the nation's fleet of fire-fighting air tankers.
In a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Udall, D-Colo., expressed concern about delays in acquiring "next generation" large air tankers from private contractors to help fight wildfires.
The current fleet of air tankers is more than 50 years old, and half of the fleet will face mandatory retirement within a decade, according to U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Jennifer Jones in a telephone interview Tuesday.
"The delays have real-life implications for Colorado and the West," said Udall spokesman Mike Saccone in a telephone interview Tuesday.
In 2012, six civilians died in wildfires in Colorado, according to Udall's letter. Nearly 400,000 acres burned and 648 structures were lost in the state because of wildfires, the letter said, including in the High Park and Waldo Canyon fires.
In 2000, the U.S. Forest Service had 43 large air tankers available to fight wildfires, Jones said. Today, only nine are under guaranteed, exclusive-use contracts, with 16 more under on-call contracts.
The role of the large air tankers is to drop fire retardant that decreases the intensity and rate of spread, so firefighters on the ground can construct containment lines, she said.
"Aircraft alone don't put out wildfires," she said. "We have the best-equipped fire-fighting force in the world."
In June, President Barack Obama approved a law that would expedite the process to award contracts for air tankers. Udall was one of the legislation's co-sponsors.
Nine companies submitted proposals to bring seven "next generation" air tankers into service in 2012 and 2013, and the U.S. Forest Service selected four companies in June with the intention of awarding them contracts, according to Jones.
But hang-ups caused the contract process to be started over.
The resubmitted proposals were due Nov. 1, and the U.S. Forest Service is still reviewing them, Jones said. There is no timeline for when contracts will be awarded.
It's too soon to tell what the 2013 wildfire season will be like, according to Ed Delgado, a meteorologist and the national program manager for predictive services at the National Interagency Fire Center.
Regardless, firefighters hope to get an estimate of the air tankers they will have at their disposal this year, said Doug McBee, executive director of the Colorado State Fire Chiefs.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., supports Udall's letters, according to Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi, and is also working to prioritize the modernization of the country's air-tanker fleet.

Originally conceived as an offshoot of the Multimedia Card (MMC) format, SD cards have matured over the years into the Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) versions that are prevalent today for capacities greater than 2GB.
Current SDHC cards are artificially limited to just 32GB, which means that a new standard is being ushered in to boost capacities into the stratosphere. As a result, the new Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format was introduced today at CES. SDXC cards have a theoretical maximum capacity of 2TB and theoretical maximum read/write speeds of 300MB/sec.
The first SDXC cards will hit the market during the first quarter of 2009; however, these first generation cards will have a maximum transfer rate of 104 MB/sec.
"SDXC combines a higher capacity roadmap with faster transfer speeds as a means to exploit NAND flash memory technology as a compelling choice for portable memory storage and interoperability," said Gartner's Joseph Unsworth, research director, NAND Flash Semiconductors. "With industry support, SDXC presents manufacturers with the opportunity to kindle consumer demand for more advanced handset features and functionality in consumer electronics behind the ubiquitous SD interface."
"SDXC is a large-capacity card that can store more than 4,000 RAW images, which is the uncompressed mode professionals use, and 17,000 of the fine-mode most consumers use. That capacity, combined with the exFAT file system, increases movie recording time and reduces starting time to improve photo-capturing opportunities," said Canon General Manager Shigeto Kanda. "Improvements in interface speed allow further increases in continuous shooting speed and higher resolution movie recordings. As a memory card well suited to small-sized user-friendly digital cameras, the SDXC specification will help consumers realize the full potential of our cameras."
We should expect to first seeing SDXC cards from the usual suspects such as SanDisk, Lexar, and Kingston. SDXC will more than likely carry a hefty premium over current SDHC cards, but expect to see that price differential close with time.

Barnes had a great game against Clemson yesterday. I think he would fit the Raptors better than MKG, due to our lack of a second scoring option. We would have a pretty potent offence with Andrea and Harrison being our primary scorers and DeMar being a third option. Jonas cleaning up the boards and Calderon dishing. As for Batum if we end up getting either MKG or Barnes I think we should spend our money on another position.
I haven't watched Batum enough to know if he could be a good SG. I'm sure our scouts would know. If he is capable that would be a great option.
I think Batum will get between 8-10 mil., based on what he has done with limited minutes and the amount of upside he has.

SAA asks customers to comment on India menu
Johannesburg. 18 June 2009. South African Airways (SAA) has embarked on an initiative to enhance its product offering and service delivery on flights between Johannesburg and Mumbai, India.
This forms part of a broader project that will be rolled out to all of SAA's international routes.
The airline has begun the process with an intensive review of the meals served to passengers on the route to Mumbai.
Travel agents and customers will be asked to give their input on the current menu being served in Business and Economy class out of Johannesburg and to provide suggestions on how to improve the selection.
Customer feedback is critical in order to ensure that SAA is offering a product that is in line with their needs.
The review will look at the overall meal presentation, taste, quality, as well as quantity of the current meals, amongst others.
Feedback from travel agents and customers will be used for the design of the new menu to be served on flights to India from August this year when the high season begins on this route.
The menu on the route is changed every four months and is based on the travel patterns of passengers.
The recent influx of visitors to South Africa from India to attend the IPL cricket tournament also spurred SAA on to kick off the improvement initiative with the Mumbai route. The airline received a number of meal suggestions and requests during this time which will be used as input into the design of the new menu.
Together with safety, ensuring customers are offered a service and product in line with their needs and expectations are key priorities for SAA. The airline is consistently working to improve on its offering and to close any service gaps that may exist.
SAA operates four flights per week between Johannesburg and Mumbai.

Get Sonny Weems back or do something. It's all so stupid.
Three guys closing the game (and playing all overtime): Jose, Lowry and Bargnani going for a combined 11/49.
So Chalk this one up against Bargnani.
I dont understand why Casey did this.
He was going with Ed down the stretch and we were fighting back marvelously. I was going to post a sweet forum about Caseys best move: Playing Ed instead of Bargnani in the fourth.
But then this.
How do you continue to go for a guy shooting 1/16 the entire game?
Popovich wouldve sat Duncan if that was his line!
Ed was having a CAREER NIGHT.
Our Board advantage when he was on is what kept us competitive!
Bargnani needs to go, so that Casey no longer has the ability to make decisions like this again.
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Today Bargnani will miss even in toilet...
I absolutely hate the Lowry/Calderon tandem late in the game. Trade Jose for a 2 or play Ross. Bargnani is a jump shooter. He lives and dies by his jump shot. This is not new to me.
With that being said I understand why Casey played him late. Andrea offensively was god awful but defensively he was actually sounds and playing hard. Casey was probably thinking how much longer can this guy go with out hitting a shot. The percentages were in his favor that he would knock one down. The guy had great look after great look (all 6 of 7 3's were wide open). Mind boggling that he went 2-19 and even managed to miss his free throw.
I think I got a new nickname. Andrea Brickani.
Bargnani obviously didn't help, but you also need to put a lot of blame on Calderon. Going 3/14 wasn't very sharp either. He missed a lot of open looks. And don't forget about giving the ball to Parker on that inbound play.
If the losses continue to pile up. Something's got to give. That something is Bargnani... for Gasol.
The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. - Martin Luther King
Ed Davis should have been in there for OT the way he was going today. What else does a guy have to do? If they really wanted Bargnani in that bad play him at the 3 and take Jose out, they can't be giving up much defense doing that.

D.C. Credit Unions Complete Merger
The $126 million 10,200-member The Partnership Federal Credit Union in Arlington, Va., has completed its announced merger with the $15.6 million, 5,900-member Fannie Mae Federal Credit Union.
The consolidation was effective Dec. 1 and the combined operation will continue as The Partnership FCU.
Helen Bunn, the former CEO of Fannie Mae FCU, will continue to manage the Fannie Mae branch in Washington until her retirement early next year after 40 years with the credit union.
"The business combination is complete and Fannie Mae FCU members are already taking advantage of enhanced products and services currently offered by The Partnership FCU," said Theresa Mann, CEO of the remaining credit union.
"Together we make a stronger credit union able to provide more sustainable services for our combined members moving forward," she said.
The Partnership FCU was formed in 2009 with the merger of FDIC FCU and NSF FCU.
