If I were to choose from Lowry, Jack and Ford, it would by far be Lowry. Even though, I'm not gonna lie, I was a big fan of Jarrett Jack when he was here, loved his leadership, his chemistry, and the intensity, but he was turnover prone. Ford was a true scoring guard, his penetration always got guys like Parker, Delfino and co. great open shots, but he tried to go outside of the box too often.
I will say that I should speak for myself in terms of the original post, but in my opinion, I just feel he is a better point guard/player than Ford and Jack.

I'm basing my opinion on pre-Horford.... not after.
Also, Lowry has never played a game for the Raptors. The only PG I feel no doubt about it, 100% confident he is better than in the group of Ford, Jack, and Calderon is Jack.
I do remember that, and yes he was a very good player, credit is deserved, and we wouldn't have had the success without him.
Lowry has never played a game with Toronto, but from what I saw in Houston I just think he is the better player and will only continue to get better. Just my opinion, and that is your opinion.
He is better than Jack I agree, but I also believe he is better than Ford and Calderon in ways, mostly defensively and the all-around game. Especially transitioning into a defensive system/team, he has the potential to be the better player for the Raptors as well.

In the strong latest – and possibly last – season of "Community," we've been treated to a cutthroat campus competition called "The Dean Games," a sitcom fantasy sequence featuring a laugh track and Fred Willard in Chevy Chase's place, and a Sadie Hawkins dance starring Sophie B. Hawkins.
But compared to the first three seasons, this year's outing of the NBC comedy, so far comes across as more whimsical than surreal – which, in the eccentric world of "Community," is perilously close to normal.
That's why we're looking forward to Thursday's episode, in which the Greendale Community College crew is transformed into puppet-like figures – offering "Community" a new chance to pull our strings.
To the uninitiated, buzz-worthy past season episodes – featuring a zombie attack, an epic paintball fight, a labyrinthine blanket fort and a secret trampoline where hours and worries bounce away – might sound, at best, like quirky gimmicks. But the devices helped give offbeat comedic life to creator Dan Harmon's vision of a school that's less a place to learn than for misfits to hide.
The very best "Community" episodes employ high-concept artifice to strike at truths. The Christmas Claymation installment from Season 2, which was really about pop culture obsessive Abed's (Danny Pudi) way of processing his broken family life, proved as oddly poignant as oddly funny. Ditto for last season's episode in which Chase's Pierce Hawthorne and his classmates become characters trapped in a 1980s video game as he virtually topples his rich, domineering – and dead – father.
Daddy issues, a thread through the show's run, have played out in a more literal form this season, the first since Harmon's bitter departure from "Community." Joel McHale's fake lawyer character Jeff Wenger finally met his real father (portrayed by James Brolin) at a dysfunctional family Thanksgiving reunion. Bickering Jeff and Pierce, more alike than they'd care to admit, finally took steps toward a father-son-like friendship, bonding in an old-school barbershop.
Those grounded scenes offered fine and necessary character development, especially as the fan favorite with middling ratings whittles down to what could be its last five episodes. If "Community" does return for a fifth season, it likely will be without Chase, who quit amid complaints about a show that's given him a platform for some of the most memorable performances of his career.
In the meantime, we're primed for another "Community"-style strange trip, which, judging from the preview below, looks like "Land of the Lost" meets "Sesame Street," complete with songs. Check out the clip, featuring guest star Jason Alexander as a mountain man – and Greendale alum – sprouting hair George Costanza would have quit the Yankees for:

Hinsdale Police Department seeks new officers
HINSDALE, N.H. -- The town's police department has a handful of positions open and hopes to begin testing all candidates next month.
Hinsdale Police Chief Todd Faulkner said some of the department's officers found opportunities in other towns, resulting in the availability of three full-time positions and two part-time spots. He said anyone interested in the jobs should submit an application as soon as possible.
He said filling the full-time positions takes priority.
Faulkner told the Reformer the reduction in manpower in no way means the town is at a greater threat, as the department still has several qualified officers. He said the process of handling calls will remain the same. The only difference to the department, the chief said, is the scheduling of shifts.
Faulkner hopes to begin testing in February. He said the testing process starts with a resume review, which is followed by an agility test identical to the one made mandatory at the state's police academy. Candidates are then subjected to an oral interview with a board comprised of police officers and members of the public.
The ones that pass the board's approval will have a meeting with the chief and, if he concurs with the board's decision, he seeks approval from the Board of Selectmen. Lt. David Eldridge then conducts a background check that includes a polygraph test and psychological investigations.
Faulkner also attended the Hinsdale Board of Selectmen meeting Monday, where a new station for his department was discussed.
The department has operated out of a temporary facility on River Road since the 1980s, though the board recently opted to accept a land donation to construct a more adequate home for the town's police force.
Lewis Major owns the building at 8-10 Main St. and rented out the store space to Nafiz Alkhatib, who ran a convenience store out of the first floor until August, when a two-alarm fire broke out in an uninhabited apartment on the second floor. No one was harmed in the blaze but Hinsdale Fire Chief Jay Matuszewski said the building suffered some water damage after firefighters from various departments extinguished the flames and the store has not reopened.
Major and his wife decided soon after the fire they wanted to donate the land to the town for the purpose of building a new station. Public hearings were held on Nov. 26 and Dec. 10 and the town's planning board voted unanimously to recommend the donation to the selectmen at a meeting two weeks ago.
Major previously told the Reformer he chose to donate the land because he feels he is getting too old to be a landlord and he no longer wants to deal with the responsibilities. He said he was born and raised in Hinsdale and was interested in doing something nice for the town.
At the public hearing on Nov. 26, Town Administrator Jill Collins said the town would like to purchase the former veterinary clinic next door to Major's building for $38,000 to $39,000 so the police station would have more space to expand. She said the demolition of the two current buildings should cost about $55,000 to $57,000 and the Hinsdale Highway Department would do the ground work and set up the site. She also said the demolition of a small building behind the property would likely cost $3,000. She said Major's property is about a half-acre.
Selectman Mike Darcy told the Reformer the police building committee and architect Peter Tennant also attended Monday's meeting. He said the station's conceptual design and potential footprint were discussed. The selectmen determined a garage would be necessary, as having unguarded police cruisers on Main Street could invite trouble.
Darcy said Tennant has been tasked with determining the construction cost and cost per square foot before a bond meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 28. The bond meeting, Darcy said, will be used to introduce the figures to the public.
He said citizens will have the chance during March's election to vote on approval of the price tag coming with the building's development.

Dr Bob Bloomfield has coordinated the UK response to the International Year of Biodiversity working with diverse partners from more than 400 partner organisations in the UK (www.biodiversityislife.net). Bob has an academic background in biological science but has devoted his career to science communication and public engagement around science issues including, and especially Evolution and Biodiversity.
An interesting development week is the online publication of a report following from the Global Business of Biodiversity conference in the summer. The report, GBOB - A contribution to CBD COP10, has been designed for the CBD to share with the business segment meeting (a side event at the CBD COP10 later this month in Nagoya).
As an e-publication the site also links to an easy download and print version of the report. The introduction includes a video keynote from HRH Prince Charles, and a number of extracts and features drawn from other keynote speeches including Secretary of State for Environment, Caroline Spelman. Section 2 highlights comments from the other key speakers from science, policy and industry.
However at the heart of the book is Section 1 – a summary of the feedback from delegates. It is their feedback to the CBD, to Nagoya and to international governments which is most important and interesting. This is summarised under seven themes which highlight the main issues and barriers. A strong response from governments at the COP could help address and remove these obstacles and thereby enable businesses to engage more systematically, and not be penalised, in the global market place:
- Lack of understanding
- Communication
- Markets
- Regulatory frameworks
- Reporting and accountability
- Capacity development
- Wider integration – the overarching narrative
What is most interesting about the report is that while industry is rightly in the frame for being one of the primary causes of biodiversity loss, this shows a growing interest and awareness, and a willingness to address the issues if Governments internationally can set the policy frameworks for them to operate and be regulated within.

Why Valentine's Day Shouldn't Be Like a Box of Chocolates
Surely, there's a better way to say "I love you" than with that cliché of Valentine's Day clichés – a heart-shaped box of chocolates?
Indeed, in recent years, chocolate has become one of the great platforms of culinary experimentation – just think of some flavor combinations (chocolate and sea salt, anyone?) that were all but unknown a generation ago. On top of that, chocolate is also a meme of sorts – it's our Valentine's Day cliché, so why not own that fact with a certain wink-wink attitude?
With that in mind, we scoured the chocolate universe for 14 alternatives for Feb. 14. Here's what we found…

OCEAN CITY- Several large fish, caught both inshore and offshore, highlighted the Ocean City Marlin Club's 28th Annual Small Boat tournament in the waters in and around the resort area.
The Marlin Club's annual Small Boat Tournament provides an opportunity for smaller boats to compete in a tournament before the bigger events such as the Ocean City Tuna Tournament and the White Marlin Open arrive on the summer fishing calendar. The annual tournament was held last Saturday and Sunday and was open to all boats under 35-feet in length. The event is divided into two divisions; the Offshore Division and the Inshore Division. The tournament provided many winners in both the inshore and offshore categories.
For example, in the Offshore Division, angler Jay Zimmerman fishing aboard the "Offshore Outlaw" took first place in the tuna category with a 87.5-pounder worth $1,782. The "Notorious" swept second and third place in the tuna category with a 78.5-pounder caught by angler Greg Clarence taking second and a check for $769, and angler Robby Doran taking third with a 61-pound tuna worth $513.
In the dolphin category, it was angler Matt Kealy fishing aboard the "Parga Marine" taking first place with a 23.5-pounder worth $1,282. Angler John Adams on the "Blackjack" took second with a 19-pounder worth $769, while angler Dennis King on the "Tide Up" took third place with an 18.5-pound dolphin worth $513.
The action was no less exciting inshore with several large fish caught in many different categories. Angler Dawson Fields, fishing aboard the "Git-R-Done" took the top spot and a check for $500 in the flounder division with a five-pounder. The "Sea Hunt" swept the other top three places in the flounder division with a four pounder caught by Clay Goff worth $333 and a pair of flounder caught by Raymond Blevins to take third and fourth place.
In the sea bass division, angler Quinn Houser on the "Dear John" took first place with a 2.5-pounder worth $382. Three anglers caught 1.5 pound sea bass during the tournament and were awarded $126 each.
Four anglers on three different boats shared the lead in the tog division with each landing a 5.5-pounder worth $188. Cullen Farnsworth and Dylan Hagins, both on the "Jezebel," Sharon Rittmeyer on the "2-Far-Out" and Leon Houser on the "Dear John" all tied for the top spot in the tog division.
In the bluefish division, angler Shawn Vitale on the "Hydro" took first place with an 11-pounder worth $382 and tied for second-place with a 10-pounder worth $172. Angler Terry McGean on the "Pole Cat" shared second place with a 10-pound bluefish worth $172. Finally, angler Brody Fields on the "Git-R-Done" took the top spot in the rockfish division with a 10-pounder. Forty-three boats participated in the Small Boat Tournament this year.

The Rugby Championship
Boks face anxious wait over Strauss
ESPN Staff
September 3, 2012

The Springboks' only injury concern going into their clash with Australia this weekend is hooker Adriaan Strauss.
The Cheetahs hooker is suffering from a "mild knee ligament sprain" and Boks doctor Craig Roberts is hopeful that he will be fit in time for Saturday's match. Roberts said: "We will assess him later in the week and will make a call on his availability depending on how he goes through training in the next couple of days, but apart from that I'm happy to report we have a fit squad and are ready to go."
The Boks already have Bismarck du Plessis and Chiliboy Ralepelle sidelined but Heyneke Meyer is adamant that they will be able to cope even if Strauss is ruled out. Meyer said: "We have a few hookers on standby (in Tiaan Liebenberg and Craig Burden), but we have a very good medical team and I'm positive we'll get Adriaan through. We have travelled with three hookers, so should be fine for the first game."
Bath flanker Francois Louw has linked up with the squad in Perth after turning out for the West Country side against Worcester on Saturday.

Hello everyone.
I am using Xfce 4.6.2 in Debian Squeeze 6.0.5, Thunar version 1.0.2.
Is there a way to make the file rename dialog in Thunar a bit more wider? Now the filename field is so short that in many cases the whole filename is not visible. One sometimes has to resize the dialog window to make the filename fully visible. Not a big annoyance at all, but something I wish to change.
I've searched the web and the forums about the subject but haven't found anything useful.
Would someone here have some kind of solution?
Last edited by hyppeli (2012-05-21 23:22:40)
You have to patch thunar-dialogs.c:thunar_dialogs_show_rename_file() and modify the line which set the width to 300. And rebuild thunar.
Thank you for your answer.

Eyes on the Prize, the monumental documentary on the American Civil Rights Movement that aired on PBS in 1987, was not the first documentary film that made an impact on me—that honor probably goes to the Beatles' Let it Be, or to a terrifying film on the risks of nuclear power that my father took me to when I was 9. But Henry Hampton's Eyes on the Prize was the film that defined, in my mind, what a documentary can accomplish in terms of bringing history to life, making history seem utterly contemporary and unignorably real, and preserving the images and voices of people who shaped our world in one landmark interview after another. And it certainly sparked the first flicker of interest in nonfiction filmmaking that eventually landed me here at EventDV. Eyes on the Prize was also the first documentary that I began to deconstruct the second time I watched it, marveling at the intricate mingling and synchronization of narration and the panning of old photographs (a technique that would later become known as the Ken Burns effect) and the way the story was assembled with layered interviews that almost seemed to be speaking to one another. At some point it occurred to me that as powerful as the raw materials of the documentary were, they might not wield quite so much power, or reconstruct the story so effectively, if not for the practiced, guiding hand of the documentarians who put them all together.
One of those documentarians was Sheila Curran Bernard, co-producer of Parts 7–14 of the series, America at the Crossroads (1990). Along with many other major documentary writing, direction, and production credits, including School: The Story of American Public Education, and the IMAX film Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France, Bernard is also the author of Documentary Storytelling, a brilliant book on how to bring nonfiction material to the screen with impact and purpose that instantly reminded me of how fascinating it was to try to deconstruct Eyes on the Prize the second time through. Now in its third edition, Documentary Storytelling (Focal Press) teems with insight and instruction on the documentary craft, from elements of storytelling to divining the story arc of a given topic, as well as more specific script-to-screen information about documentary film production and postproduction, and finding a market for your documentary work.
And why should this book matter to you, as an event videographer/filmmaker? For several reasons. One is that the line between event filmmaking and other filmmaking genres is increasingly blurred as event filmmakers continue to absorb influences from outside the event world, as tools and filmmaking techniques converge, and as event filmmakers aspire to achieve the same sort of impact with their event films that the best documentarians do. Another reason is that for most of us in this industry, shooting events is only one of the things we do; we're also doing corporate and commercial work, legal videography, biography films, or other types of video production that edge us ever closer to the documentary world. What's more, when many event filmmakers think about the movie they really want to make, outside of the commissioned work that's the lifeblood of their businesses, that movie is a documentary on some topic of great personal significance. The information and techniques presented in Bernard's book may well fill the gaps (probably sizeable, but manageable) between the technical chops they've developed in their event work and the storytelling techniques they'll need to master to produce the feature they aspire to create. And finally, if that's not reason enough, event filmmakers will most likely be intrigued to find that among the 10 filmmakers/writers/directors/producers interviewed in this edition (including James Marsh, the filmmaker behind the 2008 Academy Award winner Man on Wire, whose presence alone would have justified the book's sticker price for me) is Brett Culp, celebrity event filmmaker; occasional EventDV writer, subject, or interviewee; and eminently familiar face from the last 10 or so WEVA Expos.
And what is Brett Culp doing in a book about documentary filmmaking? Bernard first encountered Culp prior to WEVA Expo 2008, when he arranged for her to present a seminar on documentary storytelling. "In planning for this third edition," she writes, "I thought it would be interesting to turn the tables and ask [Culp] to explain how he brings storytelling strategies to the range of nonfiction projects he creates."
Most of us who have been to WEVA Expo have heard Culp speak on various topics—specifically, topics tailored to an audience of event filmmakers. So it's fascinating to read an interview with him done outside of that context, on topics more generally relevant to documentary filmmaking and its points of intersection with his own work. Acknowledging that what he tries to identify and capture in each film are "client, mood, and plot," here's what Culp has to say on how he approaches his clients and their events from a filmmaking standpoint: "I'm truly going in with no agenda. I am not coming in as a storyteller with my own voice. I am coming in to try to hear their voice[s], and then try to use my skill and experience and know-how to communicate their story in whatever way is most effective for them."
The structure of Documentary Storytelling is a little more complicated than "client, mood, plot," but it's still pretty straightforward. It's divided into three main parts, followed by an "Additional Material" coda comprising sources and an annotated list of must-see documentary films. (Hello, Netflix!)
First among the main sections is Part I: Understanding Story, which concerns itself with high-level philosophical, structural, and strategic matters. It covers identifying the basic components of a story and how to divine a story in your documentary topic, how to structure a story for effective documentary storytelling, and how to interweave chronological and nonchronological events to build drama and sustain a narrative, without ever revealing key information too soon or too late. Key elements of the "Creative Approach" chapter in Part I include determining the type of film you want to make, such as how polemical or even-handed you want to be. Not necessarily a major concern for an event filmmaker (given that our subjects tend to be fairly noncontentious), but it's all a question of balance, and to what degree you impose yourself and your biases—personal, stylistic, or otherwise—on your subjects in the film you create.
Part II, Working with Story, focuses in on the practical aspects of documentary production, beginning well before production at the identifying-sources and research stage (including accumulating facts and searching for "the telling detail" that will "enrich and inform your storytelling"); moving on to project planning (pitching your project, breaking your film into sequences, casting experts and nonexperts, choosing opposing voices for a balanced presentation, and casting narrators); preparing a treatment to acquire backing for the project; crewing; and shooting (including shooting "in the wild," shooting for the story, and shooting for the edit). This section also offers great tips on setting up interviews, shooting them, and drawing out your subjects—all things that have become increasingly important in event and corporate filmmaking. The chapter "Editing" also includes great tips on working with sequences, getting from rough cut to fine cut (an essential element of efficient and story-minded editing we've addressed in EventDV more than once), and where to enter and exit scenes.
Throughout these sections, Bernard grounds many of her key points in real-world examples from the finest documentaries produced in recent years. For example, when discussing shooting with the edit in mind and establishing an appropriate point of view in your shots, she refers readers to the wheelchair rugby documentary Murderball and notes that "the film was frequently shot from the point of view of those in wheelchairs." Bernard also draws on examples from the production processes of her own work; while explaining how to create a chronology that will help a documentarian construct a story and keep its arc in focus, she recounts creating several chronological charts for the 6-hour PBS series I'll Make a World: A Century of African-American Arts. With multiple columns in the chronology, the filmmakers were able to chart the careers of the artists profiled alongside relevant contemporary developments in American history, and juxtapose individual achievements and historical events that would lend context, depth, and verisimilitude to the series.
Part III is the interviews. There's all kinds of wise and thought-provoking stuff in these interviews, along with great, revealing stories from documentary film production. Susan Kim, writer of the fascinating documentary feature Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2007), recalls how the depth and intensity of that film sprang from a discussion she had with director Danny Anker shortly after 9/11—in a Manhattan apartment "where you could still smell the smoke"—speculating on how 9/11 would be portrayed and reflected in film. "The most important thing that we were trying to do was pose larger questions," she says. "If you do that, you're not going in a celebratory direction. Celebration implies catharsis, closure, finality, that something has been won. And I think the themes we were trying to explore are ones that are still active and alive, even when applied to other atrocities and other things that Hollywood attempts, on occasion, to grapple with."
As Bernard says in the chapter "Story Basics," "Ending a film in a way that's satisfying does not necessitate wrapping up all loose ends or resolving things in a way that's upbeat. The ending of Daughter of Danang is powerful precisely because things remain unsettled; Heidi Bub has achieved the goal of meeting her birth mother, but even two years after her visit, she remains deeply ambivalent about continued contact."
Having been utterly enthralled with Man on Wire (2008), the interview I was most excited to read was the one Bernard did with director James Marsh. Man on Wire tells the story of Philippe Petit, the death-defying French tightrope walker who spent nearly an hour walking and dancing across a wire strung between the World Trade Center towers one windy morning in 1974. This was an incredibly complex, entirely illegal, and unsanctioned undertaking that required years of planning and a legion of co-conspirators. Petit also worked up to it over several years by practicing in a field and attempting slightly more modest feats between the western towers of Paris' Notre Dame and in between the twin peaks of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Man on Wire chronicles Petit's mixture of single-minded ambition, charm, brilliance, and madness; the baffling, ineffable beauty he created on that wire; and the devotion and mixed motivations of his cohorts. Marsh describes not only the process of making the film but the "very long, intense, and often quite antagonistic collaboration" he experienced with Petit, "which ended up with a piece of work that I think reflected both the story and all the ideas that the story threw up." Petit brought the same arrogance, passion, and certainty in his own opinions to his collaboration with Marsh that he brought to his own highwire feats decades earlier, which often led to disagreements on the direction of the film. "When we didn't agree," Marsh says, "I had—as a filmmaker—a greater responsibility to do things the way I thought were best."
Granted, managing these sorts of differences is a trickier task in a commissioned project such as a wedding or event film than with a feature documentary, but Marsh's story reflects the intensely human element that's intrinsic to documentaries that involve real people telling real stories and experiencing real events in their lives. (Marsh's recollection of Man on Wire interviewees who told conflicting stories that merited inclusion in the film in spite of their contradictions underscores this point.) When your characters are real people, things just get messier; while some conflicts and contradictions can be absorbed effectively into impactful filmmaking, they can't always be fully resolved and laid to rest as they would be within a world invented by an artist creating fiction. In the introduction to Documentary Storytelling, Bernard includes a great quote from Erik Barnouw, author of the 1974 book Documentary: "Unlike the fiction artist, [the documentary filmmaker] is dedicated to not inventing. It is in selecting and arranging his findings that he expresses himself."
This strikes me as a tremendous challenge, and an invigorating one—it's what makes this book nearly as inspiring as it is informative and insightful. As someone whose storytelling instincts lean toward fiction, I find the challenges of constructing story from real-life materials a fascinating conundrum. As novelist John Irving wrote in his 2009 novel Last Night in Twisted River, "real-life stories were never whole, never complete in the ways that real novels could be."
And it's a different challenge in the event world than it is in the world of feature or TV documentary to make films that construct stories from real life. In most cases, a documentarian has to sell the story twice: first, to a network, foundation, studio, or other investor who is going to back the project; and second, to an audience that is being asked to care about the film and its subject from a position of significant remove. For event filmmakers, more of the battle is won the first time we sell a film, at the time we book the job. After that, the audience is built-in, and a certain degree of audience buy-in (if not audience-bowling-over) is all but guaranteed: The audience generally has a personal stake in the subject because they've all been a part of the events featured on screen.
But the greater difference comes in the elements of story at a filmmaker's disposal and how conscientiously they must be applied to make the film work. Sure, some of the basic elements Bernard identifies as the essential components of story in a documentary can be found and applied in event filmmaking: "a compelling beginning, an unexpected middle, and a satisfying end." And to a lesser extent, the inductive process of gleaning a broader meaning or importance from the drama at hand is well within the reach of the event filmmaker. As Bernard acknowledges early on in the book, "Story comes organically from the material and the ways in which you, the filmmaker structure it."
Too often, though, I believe event filmmakers mistake (or simply substitute) technical mastery, strategically placed detail, and the inclusion of the occasional intimate, unguarded shot for a genuine narrative arc, when more often these are simply the visual trappings of emotional filmmaking and accumulation of personal visual detail standing in for character development. And usually that's enough to sell the film and to make the difference between a piece of work that's quickly shelved and forgotten and one that is watched repeatedly and earns you effusive referrals.
But the problem with substituting spectacle for story, gestural or expressive idiosyncracy for character, detail for development, and rackfocusing for drama, is that it gets old. Eventually, these ready-made hooks become clichés and become easily recognized as such. Substance, storytelling, and drama derived therein are the only filmmaking elements that transcend time and trend.
If you see your own development as a filmmaker and the opportunity to turn the events you shoot into compelling films as anything more than catchphrases to build into your branding, you need to understand the essential elements of visual storytelling and narrative and how the great nonfiction filmmakers conceive, shape, and present their films. The most important part of that process, ultimately, will be watching those films, deconstructing them, and applying those constructs to your own work. But I can't recommend a better place to start your journey than reading Sheila Curran Bernard's Documentary Storytelling, which will put you well on your way.

It's just speculation but please let this be true.
All Over For Isiah In Madison Square Garden? Might Be
By Chris Sheridan
NEW YORK -- This might have been it. This might have been Isiah Thomas' last game as head coach of the New York Knicks.
Before we go any further, let's go back and emphasize the word might. Having covered Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan and his New York Knickerbockers up close and personal for as long as we have, which is more than a decade, we have learned one universal truth: If it involves Dolan and the Knicks, err on the side of caution and choose illogic over logic.
So with that specific caveat dispensed, we'll go back to our original thought and explain just why we grew inclined to believe over the course of a strange, illogical Monday -- even by Knicks' standards -- why the end seems to be at hand for the architect and head coach of one of the NBA's charter franchises.
Reason No. 1: Dolan attended the Knicks' 100-88 loss to the New Orleans Hornets along with Garden president Steve Mills and vice president of communications Barry Watkins. Mills did not sit in his usual seat next to Dolan during the game, but he did accompany Dolan on a postgame visit to the coach's office, the threesome staying for only a few brief moments before walking stonefaced past reporters as they exited the building.
Asked during the game whether Dolan had any plans to speak to the media anytime soon, Watkins text-messaged back: "We're taking things one day at a time."
Reason No. 2: The Stephon Marbury situation. Thomas told reporters at the team's morning shootaround that Marbury would be attending the game Monday night and would speak with reporters. When a Marbury-related question was posed to Thomas 90 minutes prior to tipoff, he deflected it by saying "you can ask him yourself."
When this reporter followed up by pointing out that there was one Marbury-related question that only Thomas himself could answer -- whether Thomas had placed any restriction on Marbury from attending home games or speaking to the media -- Thomas stood up before the question was finished being asked and left the room. Team beat writers said it was the fourth time in his past seven media availability sessions that Thomas had ended things by abruptly walking away.
Marbury never showed up. Perhaps he had a reason, or perhaps the Knicks were creating a diversion and/or spinning the blame Marbury's way by making him look like a no-show following reports late last week -- which still have not been directly addressed in any kind of detail by the Knicks -- that Marbury had been told not to attend home games.
A source close to the situation confirmed to ESPN.com that Marbury was indeed told to stay away, although the Knicks reversed course Monday and told Marbury he was free to attend. Thomas would not answer afterward when asked if Marbury would be fined or suspended for missing the game.
Reason No. 3: Dolan's ego, and the Knicks' desire to keep their owner from being ridiculed. We're getting close to the one-year anniversary (March 11) of Dolan rewarding Thomas with a multi-year contract extension, which means we're close to several days worth of columns skewering Dolan's dubious decision in the New York media.
But if Thomas exits the picture in the next day or two, the topic then changes to "Well, at least Dolan finally came to his senses." In a corporate culture at Madison Square Garden where spinning the media coverage is of paramount importance, this reason may outweigh the others all by itself.
Reason No. 4: The horror show on the court. The Knicks only trailed New Orleans by four points with 1:08 left, yet by the time a timeout was called just 32 seconds later, an alley-oop dunk (Chris Paul to Tyson Chandler) and a three-point play by Paul (who was not being defended by the one player on the Knicks quick enough to defend him, Nate Robinson, because Thomas had removed Robinson with 1:33 left) had made it a nine-point game, sending the crowd streaming toward the exits.
Morris Peterson added a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left for the final margin. The loss dropped New York a season-high 24 games under .500, and the Mendoza line -- matching Larry Brown's 23 wins when he was coach of the Knicks two years ago -- might become increasingly difficult to reach with each passing loss.
So there you have it, four reasons to back up the premise that this might have been Isiah's last game with the Knicks. That doesn't mean you should necessarily look for him to be fired Tuesday, because it would be just like Dolan to leave everyone twisting in the wind for another day and drop the axe sometime late in the afternoon Wednesday. That, after all, was the way things went down four years ago when Dolan got rid of Don Chaney, who coached the Knicks at the morning shootaround that fateful day but found out he was getting fired as he wrote the game plan on the greaseboard two hours prior to tipoff.
Legend has it that security guards escorted Chaney from the building that evening, although the Knicks have always insisted that's not how it happened.
Exactly how and exactly when the end comes for Thomas -- and whether he gets the security guard escort -- will remain a mystery for the moment, but plenty of signs were there Monday pointing to an end that could be upon us at any hour, any day.

MPCA says Minnesota River becoming healthier
SHAKOPEE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota River is getting healthier, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency says it shows efforts to reduce pollution from wastewater treatment systems are making the difference.
MPCA staff monitored a 20-mile stretch of the lower river for three weeks in August to see if the hot, dry summer and low flows would deplete oxygen levels, which had been a problem in previous droughts. Scientists were encouraged to find that oxygen levels remained high enough to support fish, bugs and other aquatic life despite the stressful conditions.
Officials credit the success to about $250 million in public and private investments to reduce phosphorous discharges all along the river.

Rex Ryan's strategy that patterns the 1985 Bears defense and 1959 Packers offense is flawed because eventually you need to score a lot of points against an elite opponent and you can't do it. Both AFCCG's, and had we made it, both subsequent Super Bowls show that. Couldn't have outscored the '09 Colts and Saints, couldn't have outscored the '10 Steelers and Packers. It's good for a high winning percentage against scrub teams, nothing more.
Mark Sanchez, when surrounded with better talent and a legitimate rushing attack, was a good quarterback in Rex Ryan's flawed strategy. A bit more than a game manager, had an uncanny comeback ability in the 4th quarter, took hits that would have sent other QB's to the hospital, wants to make something out of every play, tough kid, rough around the edges, not a quitter.
What I'm saying is that in the stupid Rex Ryan strategy we've seen flashes of brilliance from Mark Sanchez, especially under late-season and postseason pressure, that indicate he might indeed be able to thrive a-la Eli Manning with some legitimate receivers who are playmaking gamechangers. Mark was at his best when he had the likes of Edwards to stretch the sidelines, Cotchery to make the tough plays, Holmes to cross the middle, Burress to own the red zone, Keller pushing vertically, and Tomlinson to dump off to.
Problem is, he never had all those guys in the same season. Problem is, half of them were old and didn't have the stamina for a whole season. Problem is, every year there's another group of has-beens or never-beens shuttled in/out because Mike Tannenbaum is stretching every dollar to support the Front Seven who still suck to this day.
So I believe one of the following two scenarios to be our best chance at success:
1. Keep Mark Sanchez, keep Rex Ryan, get a first-rate offensive coordinator in here to run his own show and support them with kick-ass receiving targets and a legitimate rushing attack. Rex is a great DC, he can fix the D. He's clueless on the O. Keep trying to win it the wrong way with the wrong strategy, but at least put up points, perhaps it can work.
2. Keep Mark Sanchez, dump Rex Ryan, go to the strategy that the rest of the NFL employs, screw the defense, win it with a mega offense. With a good set of tools, see if Sanchez has what it takes, see if your investment has some fruit.

New York City has agreed to pay $18 million to settle dozens of lawsuits filed by protesters, journalists and bystanders who said they were wrongly arrested at the 2004 Republican National Convention and held for hours in makeshift holding cells, lawyers said Wednesday.
The settlement, which must be approved by a federal judge, would end nearly a decade of legal wrangling over more than 1,800 arrests, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct or parading without a permit. Hundreds sued, saying they were illegally arrested by an overzealous police department. Nearly all the arrests were dismissed by the court or the defendants acquitted.
Neal Curley was 17 at the time of his arrest. He had come to the city from Philadelphia with his father to see a show and decided to join one of the protests. Curley was arrested crossing the street and held for 14 hours. In the time the case has been litigated, he graduated from high school and college and now is 26 and working at an art gallery.
"I'm glad it finally happened," he said of the case's end. "I hope it sets and important precedent that the right to free speech and assembly are basic American rights."
Deirdre MacNamara, another woman who sued, said she wasn't even protesting when she was arrested, just out buying a milkshake.
"If this average person can get arrested just walking down the street," she said, everyone should be worried.
Lawyers with the New York Civil Liberties Union had previously asked the judge hearing case to conclude that police didn't have probable cause to make mass arrests during the convention, at which President George W. Bush was nominated for another term.
"This historic settlement sends a clear message," said NYCLU attorney Chris Dunn. "We will not allow the police to trample on the First Amendment rights of protesters."
The city had argued for dismissal, arguing that nearly 800,000 people demonstrated during the convention and only a small fraction of them were arrested. The convention was police by as many as 10,000 officers from the 35,000-member police department, the nation's largest. They were assigned to protect the city from terrorism threats and to cope with tens of thousands of demonstrators.
Both sides said in a joint statement that it was best to settle. The city won't admit guilt under the agreement, which includes about $7 million in attorney fees. Amounts to the plaintiffs will vary from about $1,000 to $20,000 depending on their role in the lawsuits, lawyers said.
City lawyers said it was important to defend the case and noted that police policies used during the convention were upheld.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has promised better cooperation with the police department and residents, said he was glad the case was settled.
"I have spoken before about my concerns as to how that situation was handled at the time and I'm glad we're moving forward. And we're going to take a very different view going forward about how we respect people's rights to express themselves," he said.
Prior to Wednesday's announcement, 142 other plaintiffs who sued over the arrests had settled with the city for a total of about $1.8 million, mostly in 2007.
Sarah Coburn, 30, said her arrest at the convention inspired her to become an attorney to fight for the civil rights of others. She was 20 at the time, and was held for 30 hours before she was released. She's now a public defender.
"It was awful to be subjected to those conditions," she said. "I want to make sure no one else has to be."

Gomez spent winter looking for strikes
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- Carlos Gomez did not need a calculator Monday to figure his spring on-base percentage.
Gomez walked in an intrasquad game Friday, walked twice in Saturday's Cactus League opener against the A's and walked again Monday before pulling a pair of hanging breaking balls for singles against the Padres. He's reached safely every time up.
"This year I didn't play winter ball, but I've been tracking [pitches]," said Gomez, who hired a former Minor Leaguer to throw him 50 pitches a day in the Dominican Republic.
He did not start swinging at any of those pitches until late in the winter, when Gomez was ramping up workouts ahead of Spring Training.
"He didn't tell me what was coming. It was just track, track, track," Gomez said. "I know that's going to help me a lot if you control the strike zone and swing at more strikes."
When it was suggested that Dominican GM Moises Alou might notice Gomez's statistics and try to talk him out of skipping the World Baseball Classic, Gomez shook his head. The answer is still no. He wants to focus instead on his final season with the Brewers before free agency.
"When I say something, that's it," Gomez said.
Burgos cites confidence for success in 2012
PHOENIX -- The Brewers' reigning Minor League Pitcher of the Year does not possess the power fastball of some of his peers. Hiram Burgos said he discovered something else during his breakthrough 2012 season.
"Last year, everything was about confidence," Burgos said. "Now, I trust all of my stuff, all of my pitches. I just have to go out there and use it the right way. I'm the kind of pitcher that I have to think on every pitch, I have to execute."
He executed more often than not in 2012, going 10-4 with a 1.95 ERA in 28 games between Class A Brevard County, Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville.
But 2013 is a new year with new goals, Burgos said Monday after pitching against the Padres at Maryvale Baseball Park. He allowed one hit in the first two scoreless innings, then allowed two hits in the third inning, including a long home run to second baseman Jedd Gyorko.
"They squared up a lot of balls on him," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "He's going to have to locate really well."
Next month, Burgos will represent Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, so Roenicke made sure to assign him to the home half of split-squad games Monday. Roenicke wants to see as much of Burgos as possible before he departs on March 3.
Burgos' Classic workload hinges on right-hander Javier Vazquez, who is trying to rush back from a minor knee surgery. If Vazquez is ready, Burgos will work in relief of the veteran in Puerto Rico's first game. If Vazquez is not ready, then Burgos is prepared to start.
"For sure, I'm throwing the first game. For sure," Burgos said. "It's an honor to have the name of your country on your uniform."
Prince showcases versatility with start in center
PHOENIX -- Josh Prince has already hit his way onto the Brewers' 40-man roster, and now he's trying to play his way into the team's Major League plans.
Sensational defender Logan Schafer shifted to right field for a split-squad game against the Reds on Monday so the Brewers could get a look at Prince in center, one of the many positions he is expected to man this spring at Maryvale Baseball Park. Prince rode a terrific Arizona Fall League (.404 average, 36-for-89) into the Brewers' plans.
"Maybe he'll turn into an everyday player in the big leagues," manager Ron Roenicke said. "But if not, he's a guy that I think could be super-utility. There's not too many guys that can play different positions, especially shortstop, and then also be able to play the outfield."
Prince was drafted as a shortstop out of Tulane in the third round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. He played three years there in the Brewers' system before switching to center field for Double-A Huntsville at the start of 2012 and also played three games at shortstop and four at third base. The Brewers hope to get him comfortable in left field and right field this spring.
If he's successful, Prince could develop into a player like Jerry Hairston Jr., whose versatility came in so handy during the second half of 2011. Hairston only played 45 regular-season games in a Milwaukee uniform but manned four different positions.
Prince finished last year's regular season with a .251 average, seven home runs, 55 RBIs and 41 stolen bases, second most in the Southern League to Reds speedster Billy Hamilton.
"He really runs," Roenicke said of Prince. "He's supposed to be a real good baserunner with good instincts. He's kind of stocky, but looking at the times we ran our 30s [30-yard dashes], he's one of our fastest guys."
Against the Reds on Monday, Prince was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
Brewers exhibition tickets on sale Friday
PHOENIX -- The Brewers will begin selling tickets Friday morning for a pair of late-March exhibition games against the White Sox at Miller Park.
Those games are Friday, March 29, at 7:10 p.m. CT and Saturday, March 30, at 1:10 p.m. CT. Ticket sales for those games will begin at 9 a.m. CT on Friday via a variety of outlets including Brewers.com.
Field diamond seats will cost $15 and all other tickets are $10 on a first-come, first-served basis. Preferred parking is $14 in advance and $18 on the day of game.
Last call
• Mat Gamel said images of his torn right ACL had been sent to another physician for a second opinion. At some point, Gamel is expected to require season-ending surgery. He has been walking around with no pain.
• The Brewers have played three days of Cactus League games and Taylor Green has already started at first base, second base and third base.
• One of the Brewers' split-squad lineups Monday included a mystery "Rogers" serving as designated hitter. The only Rogers in camp is right-hander Mark, who'd started against the Indians the previous day.
It was Jason Rogers, a 24-year-old right-handed hitter who split last season between Class A Wisconsin and Advanced Class A Brevard County, batting .301 with 11 home runs and 66 RBIs in 133 games. He was a 32nd-round Draft pick in 2010.
Rogers was needed because some of the Brewers' regular hitters -- Norichika Aoki, Aramis Ramirez and Alex Gonzalez -- had already played two straight days and had Monday off.

Print showing the muscles of the human body, Europe, 1851-1860
Showing the muscles of the human body, this print was taken from an anatomical treatise called 'Schola Medicinæ Universalis Nova' or the 'New Universal History and School of Medicine' by William Rowley (1742-1806), an English male midwife, surgeon and anatomist. First published in 1793, the work contained 68 copper engravings of the human body. The work was probably used by medical students studying anatomy. Anatomical prints were useful tools as specific features of the body could be enlarged and picked out, making the structures easier to understand.

The last of Chief Joseph Nez Perc?® tribe still exist in Wyoming, and unsuspecting solo riders who choose to ride at night or the wee early morning hours should take note; this band of outlaws will on occasion take down unsuspecting airheads and small Kawasaki motorcycles on the vast empty Wyoming roads. Those people are usually found expired, with the AGATT still in place; this is a real threat, and our BMWMOA group should be aware of this hazard. The tribe usually tortures the victim by force feeding them copious quantity of Idaho spuds soaked in clarified butter for days on end, then setting them outside on a cold night where upon their arteries harden-on the spot; a horrible way to die.
It was discovered years ago that Wyoming men have an extremely high libido, thus causing many random acts of "love" to occur in the small frontier towns in Wyoming. Since that discovery ion 1876, all restaurants in the state of Wyoming add salt peter to their food in a way to combat this higher state of libido. As our group gets ready to come to Wyoming, it should be known that upon reaching any food establishment, an unsuspecting tourist should check the menu for the fine print showing "SPA additives" OR just ask the waitress to point out the items on the menu that are SPA free. This is currently in the Wyoming legislature as a house bill to ban this practice, the bill was sponsored by the league of women voters in the state. Obviously, this is a problem for many women who now have to compete for their man's affection with his love for football and other mindless activities! Watch out members of the BMWMOA for this hidden hazard!
It is not widely known that the jackelope (i-shephan-im-antemeridian) was the actual cause of death of Steve Irwin in Australia . The i-shephan-im-antemeridian is also a native of Australia, and because it is sooo embarrassing that Steve died by the horn of this creature after imbibing in too many Fosters that the story about the stingray was published in an attempt to save poor Bindi Irwin the embarrassment of how her father died. Wyoming also has the native i-shephan-im-antemeridian living in their land. Usually, the jackelope will not approach a car or any vehicle with four wheels, but has been known to approach in large numbers unsuspecting motorcycles; DO NOT ATTEMT TO TOUCH THEM as did the late great Steve Irwin for they have the ability to use their short stubby horns to gore you right through the toughest ATGATT you may be wearing! The forward thrust of these animals can be compared to the forward thrust of a R1200GS in fist gear at 4000RPM! Poor Bindi will never know....
The last hazard has to do with mini lighting bolts in the dry air of Wyoming. This little known hazard has caused many a person to, at minimum loose consciousness, and at worst die on the spot. The cause? Jewelry! If you have tongue rings, nose rings earrings, belly rings OR metal studs attached in the nether regions, it's best to remove them before coming to Wyoming. The cause of these deadly mini lightning bolts were described in the Boston Scientific article published in 1988, issue 14, page 63 that documented when the dry Wyoming air comes into contact with perspiration (such as the sweat caused by all our ATGATT) the static electricity volts and Amps increase ten fold from what normally would be harmless electricity, and of course, seeks ground through the most likely spot' your jewelry! Many a man or lady have been found dead with burns and in a state of cardiac arrest due to this phenomenon found the dry, high altitude air of Wyoming. Watch out for this hazard brothers and sisters of Wyoming!
Hope all this helps in making your trip this month safe and sound!

Tanaka's Major League education continues
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Asked Thursday whether his experience so far with the Giants had bolstered his confidence about making the Opening Day roster, Kensuke Tanaka replied, "I don't know, but I want to try my best to succeed."
That summarized Tanaka's situation with the Giants: uncertainty mingled with earnestness.
There's no doubt that Tanaka, who's in camp as a non-roster invitee, can thrive at second base. During his 13-year career with the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan, he was named the top player at his position in both professional leagues four times. He also won three Gold Glove Awards for defensive excellence.
But to begin the regular season with the Giants as a utility man, the 31-year-old Tanaka must prove that he can function adequately on the infield's left side. That includes shortstop, where he looked challenged during the Giants' 6-3 loss to Japan's national team, which visited Scottsdale Stadium for a tuneup en route to the World Baseball Classic semifinals in San Francisco.
Tanaka called the experience of starting against his countrymen "fun and energizing." But he committed a third-inning throwing error and made a one-hop toss to first base on Yoshio Itoi's routine ground ball leading off the fourth inning. Tanaka partially atoned later by starting an inning-ending double play in the fourth and turning another double play in the fifth.
Tanaka has been forced to familiarize himself with America's grass-and-dirt fields after playing mostly on artificial turf in Japan. But reserve infielders are expected to make every play. And Tanaka has committed seven of the Giants' 15 errors this spring.
"He has a lot on his plate right now. We've thrown a lot at him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We thought, with as much as we're moving him around, that we'd probably see some errors that would come with the change in position."
With bullpen catcher Taira Uematsu serving as an interpreter, Tanaka admitted that he has had to adjust to "the distance of the throw and also the direction of the ball coming from the hitter" when playing shortstop. Bench coach Ron Wotus, who supervises the Giants' infielders, further explained the difficulty of moving from second to short.
"Probably the toughest thing about going from second to short is that your game clock is different," Wotus said. "At second base, you have a lot of time to field the ball and get rid of it. At shortstop, you don't have that time. You have to catch the ball and get it to first in a more efficient manner. Your arm comes into play with that."
Fortunately for Tanaka, the language barrier has rarely interfered with his efforts.
"It's OK with players during the game," he said.
Tanaka's diligence and aptitude are beyond reproach.
"He's very intelligent, and to say the least, he's a hard worker," Wotus said.
Asked if he'd accept an assignment to Triple-A Fresno to begin the season, Tanaka said, "Probably." That's quite a concession, given Tanaka's level of stardom in Japan. His willingness to embrace a backup role is obviously sincere.
"Shoot, that's half the battle," Wotus said. "He has an opportunity to be good at it. But it's not easy, and it's going to take time."
Sanchez again sidelined with shoulder pain
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Recurring soreness in catcher Hector Sanchez's right shoulder will force him to rest for at least a couple of days.
Sanchez was scratched from Thursday's starting lineup against Japan. Manager Bruce Bochy had hoped that Sanchez could serve as the Giants' designated hitter. But swinging a bat pained Sanchez as much as throwing did.
Due to the fluctuations in Sanchez's health, "there should be some concern at this point," Bochy said.
Guillermo Quiroz, who has played in the Majors for five teams in nine seasons, likely would become San Francisco's backup catcher if Sanchez were sidelined for a prolonged period. Bochy also cited Jackson Williams, who has spent six years in the Giants' Minor League system, as a possibility.
"We think we have some coverage there," Bochy said.
Johnny Monell, another catcher, will have to maintain his torrid hitting (.600 in Cactus League games) to keep pace with Quiroz and Williams. Monell also has logged six years as a Giants farmhand while playing all but five games below the Triple-A level.
"He's made a lot of noise here. He's done a pretty good job," Bochy acknowledged. "He'll get more catching time. We're not ruling anything out. We like his bat. It works."
Sanchez was aching before he even changed into his uniform.
"It scared me, because it felt really painful," he said. He added that the team's medical staff told him that he had no structural damage in the shoulder.
After showing promise last year by batting .280 in 74 games, the switch-hitting Sanchez has appeared in only eight of San Francisco's 19 games this spring. He owns a .211 average (4-for-19) with three RBIs.

Politicians can always find common ground as long as they can identify a common threat. Right now, for instance, Republicans and Democrats are uniting for some China bashing. It is very much a tough talk game. Whoever can talk the toughest, the most belligerently, will be declared the winner. The only presidential candidate who ever lived and worked in China, and spoke the native language, was Jon Huntsman, who has long dropped out of the race.
In bulk vending, this tough talking game could be a worrisome aspect of the political season. A trade war with China could destroy the industry from top to bottom. A double-digit jump in the cost of merchandise would prove devastating to bulk vending amid already rising prices and razor-thin profit margins.
When candidates and incumbents vow to defeat or stand up to China's "godless socialism," alarm bells sound in bulk vending and beyond. It's scary stuff. Even if Chinese leaders took the highly unlikely step of allowing their currency to "float" in value on the open market -- because of some unspecified threat made by the U.S. -- it would cause massive disruptions. By some estimates, the yuan is undervalued by as much as 40%. While it would make some U.S. products more attractive on the world market, it would devastate more industries unable to absorb increased costs.
What's on the table are mortgages, car payments and college funds. In the political season that has come to resemble a sporting event highlighted by "trash talk" ads, it's easy to forget that little detail. There is a lot riding on America's approach to diplomacy in the next few years.
The world is also paying attention to the tough talk. Europeans see it as "typical American bluster" or part and parcel of the cowboy shoot'em up mentality; the more thoughtful are interpreting it as a simple political ploy. The idea, it seems, is to paint the other guy as somehow weak when it comes to engaging Chinese leadership. That is to say, the tough talk is political and not policy oriented.
In many ways, that is worrisome. Tough talk is woefully short of depth that leads to substantial and long-term policy. Tough talk isn't policy, it's a vibe. Put into action, it probably involves pounding a fist on a table, and maybe some yelling and an icy stare. That's what I imagine, since it is actually more of a pose without substance. Even worse, it's shortsighted. What's needed is a durable policy approach to China that benefits both countries. I suggest something that offers stability with protections for American businesses for things like copyrights and increased access to China's rising affluent market.
Tough talk aside, diplomacy isn't for sissies. It's complicated, and boring, and nowhere near as confrontational as name-calling. But it is the way nations do business. I wonder who, if anyone, has something resembling a long-term strategy -- and just when they will take the time to fill the rest of us in on it.

Steve Hoefer likes to wander the aisles of the hardware store in his spare time, always on the lookout for that something something that strikes his fancy. He may not need it for a current project, but it's bound to come in handy sometime. When he spotted some curious PVC caps and plugs that fit together into little airtight pods, he didn't know they'd end up on the pages of MAKE Volume 30 as the basis for his Indestructible LED Lanterns project.
From his intro:
The result: simple, rugged, floating LED lanterns that glow for days. They've survived being submerged for a week, frozen, and laundered in the washing machine. I even hit one with the lawn mower, and it still works. When they get dirty, just hose them off.
Just in time for summer gatherings (and mischief), you can whip up a set of these lanterns in no time. Check out Steve's how-to on page 132 of Volume 30, and right here on Make: Projects.
Look for Volume 30, hitting newsstands on April 24. Or, if you're a subscriber (thanks! we love you!), it's likely in your hands as we speak.
From the pages of MAKE Volume 30:
Until recently, home automation was gimmicky, finicky, and user-hostile. But today, thanks to a new crop of devices and technology standards, home automation is useful, fun, and maker-friendly. In the special section of MAKE Volume 30, we'll show you: how to flip any switch in your home with a smartphone, home automation without programming, controlling your HVAC with an Arduino, a webcam security system, and a wall-mounted Notification Alert Generator (NAG) that plays timely reminders as you walk by. Plus, you'll build a Yakitori Grill, a robust R/C flying-wing airplane, sturdy furnishings from PVC, and more!
