Melo has to be considered for Mvp tho, he's a new player and the knicks would be lucky to even get in the playoffs without him.
Players don't lose their spot due to injury for me. If they get back and under preform for a (long) while, then they'll drop out..
Melo is really banged up, and we should of expected this...he's been getting hacked all year, a man's body can only take so much.
We have to perserve Melo for the playoffs.
If we play him more than 32 minutes per game we will suffer and potential not have Melo for the playoffs.
Copeland can score in many ways and should have his role increased to save Melo for being overplayed.
Melo needs his rest, he's not the physical specimen LeBron James or Kevin Durant are...those guys never get hurt because they're durable as ****.

@Mfischhh: @alanhahn melo and amare running on the same team? Yes. Melo sent him a no-look for a dunk over Copeland earlier.
CAAN'T ****IN' WAIT. Bring on the Blazers.

LeBron and Durant are the two most protected players in the NBA. I watch a lot of Thunder games because Ibaka is one of my favourite players so I see Durant being looked after by the referees in every game, it`s quite sickening.
If the Clips keep playing like this CP3 is going to get MVP.
My honest top 10 based on order at which I'd like to see them in an NY uniform (I feel this is the best way to get an unbiased order)
Derrick Rose (healthy)
honorable mention
D Rose up there may be a shocker but at his best he is simply can't be guarded
Melo gets nod over KD because there is just an edge and toughness to Melo that I do not see in Durant...plus to me Durant has T-Mac/Jermaine Oneil potential in that he could be a player years from now we are looking back at like "what happened to him"
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Melo's fresh kicks.
If the season ended today, Melo would be MVP...
Melo is my favorite player in the NBA.

Mets: No more horsing around
Popular hazing tradition for Chicago visitors left to legend
By Marty Noble / MLB.com
No longer are rookies hazed as they once were, and with the end of that practice went the hazing event, peculiar to Chicago, that annually led to clubhouse laughs and, eventually, clubhouse acceptance of the plebes. Moreover, the city's bean counters began to frown on the practice that was a minor but constant drain on the public coffers.
So it is now that visiting veterans no longer urge -- no, no longer order -- the new men to deface the statue of General Sheridan and his horse. The rookie-rites ritual entailed applying orange paint to the part of the horse that distinguished the animal as a stallion. It involved only National League teams because of the statue's proximity to Wrigley Field.
The morning after the deed was done, the same veteran players would arrange for members of Chicago's finest to enter the clubhouse with arrest warrants for the perpetrators. The ruse never failed to break up the clubhouse.
But, alas, no such deception has been or will be part of the Mets' weekend on the North Side. This team that has lost most of its regulars to injury, has lost most of its pranksters as well. American League refugee J.J. Putz, if he was at all aware of the ruse, would have been a candidate for "getting" the multitude of big league neophytes the Mets have assembled.
"Too bad. I think I would have appreciated something like that," Nick Evans said Friday, safe in the knowledge that he no longer could be deceived. Evans has lost his official rookie status, but he still would qualify as prospective Mets foil. "I've never heard of that. But I like it."
"They got me and Gerald Clark when I was with the Padres in '92," Gary Sheffield said Friday afternoon in the visiting clubhouse at Wrigley. "It was awful. I was all paranoid. The last thing you want to do as a rookie is go to jail. It was horrifying."
Sheffield hardly was a rookie in '92; he had played parts of the preceding four seasons with the Brewers, then an American League entry. In '92, he was new to the Padres, new to the league. Initiation was required.
"I figured I knew the ropes by then, but they got me," he said. "And they got me with the mongoose in Cincinnati, too."
The manager of the visiting clubhouse at Riverfront Stadium had a caged something that was presented to the unsuspecting players with a story and a convincing warning. Once the cage was uncovered and inadvertently unlocked, a mechanical creature would leap at its frightened prey.
"I fell into the laundry basket, trying to get away," Sheffield said. "I lost my mind."
But the statue painting in Chicago was more popular among the Mets. More players fell for it.
In 1995, neither Jason Isringhausen nor Bill Pulsipher were aware. The rookie pitchers were set up by -- who else? -- John Franco. They were eager to pass the test. Their painting met with Franco's approval, but not with that of the Chicago police. The following morning, Isringhausen and Pulsipher, dressed for the game, were apprehended and told to change back into their civvies. They would be taken downtown for booking.
And the two bought it until Pulsipher reached for his tie. One of the cops told the other to confiscate it. "We don't want him hanging himself in the cell," he said. The clubhouse erupted.
"That whole thing is gone now," Brian Schneider said Friday. "The city got tired of paying to have the paint removed. For a couple of years when we came in here, we'd get notices from the police telling us, 'Never, never, never, never paint the horse.' They were serious. ... I think it's been a while since anyone got taken."
Apparently not.
"No, Nomar [Garciaparra] and [Jeff] Kent were the veterans. They got [Jonathan] Broxton, [Chad] Billingsley and [Andre] Ethier in 2006," Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen said. He was the Dodgers coach then. "They fell for it hard. It was great."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Hundreds of gay and lesbian couples lined up at courthouses across Indiana Wednesday to apply for marriage licenses and tie the knot after the state became the 20th to recognize same-sex marriage.
But whether those history-making unions would be recognized 'til death do us part remained in question. The state attorney general's asked U.S. District Judge Richard Young to stay his order while it appeals.
Young's ruling that Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional marked another victory for gay-rights supporters, who have seen momentum for their cause grow across the country in the year since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. In that time, 16 federal judges have issued rulings siding with gay marriage advocates.
In conservative Indiana, Wednesday's ruling buoyed advocates who successfully fought a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage in this year's legislative session. Lawmakers approved the proposed amendment, but only after changing its language to remove a clause banning future recognition of civil unions. That reset the clock on the amendment process and pushed the issue back to 2016 at the earliest, by which point legal experts believe it will be moot.
Indiana law defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and the state has refused to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where it is legal. Young's ruling changes that and also allows same-sex couples to file joint tax returns, receive pension benefits and have their partners listed as spouses on death certificates.
Young found that Indiana's ban on gay marriage violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution and bucked the tide of history, citing a string of similar rulings in other federal court districts.
"These couples, when gender and sexual orientation are taken away, are in all respects like the family down the street. The Constitution demands that we treat them as such," Young wrote.
The ruling sent couples flocking to clerks' offices across the state in a quest for marriage licenses, but not all were successful. Some counties declined to issue licenses to same-sex couples until they received guidance from the attorney general's office.
That guidance, which came late Wednesday afternoon, instructed the five counties named in the lawsuits to comply with Young's order or face contempt of court. It urged the other 87 counties to "show respect for the judge and the orders that are issued."
Within an hour of the ruling, couples had lined up in Marion County in Indianapolis to obtain marriage licenses.
Clerk Beth White married dozens of couples in short, civil ceremonies held beneath a white metal arch adorned in netting, artificial flowers and white holiday lights.
Jake Miller, 30, a software engineer, and 35-year-old Craig Bowen, a digital design engineer, were the first to exchange vows in Indianapolis.
The couple, who have been together eight years, made a spontaneous decision to get married after learning of Young's ruling.
"It just felt right," Bowen said.
Rick Sutton, 60, president of Indiana Equality Action, and Robert Owens, 40, were the second couple wed by White. They have been together 16 years.
"That's all we ever wanted was to be treated equal, and that's what this means," Sutton said.
By mid-afternoon, about 200 couples were in line — so many that office staff brought out additional laptops to accommodate the surge of people eager to get marriage licenses. Someone sent over a cake, and White brought in a second officiant and extended her office's hours until 8 p.m. to accommodate the prospective newlyweds.
One glitch many applicants across the state faced was the language on the marriage license forms, which call for the name of the bride and groom, or male and female applicant.
White instructed the applicants to replace that section with the words "spouse" and "spouse."
Ken Falk, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, called it "an excellent, excellent day for marriage," a sentiment that attorney Paul Castillo of Lambda Legal, a national gay rights group, echoed.
"We're absolutely thrilled that the judge recognized that every day couples are denied the freedom to marry they experience significant harms," said Castillo, whose group represented five gay couples who challenged the ban.
Opponents said they had feared the day when judges would issue rulings that trumped state laws enshrining traditional marriage.
"Regardless of what any judge says, marriage is about uniting men and women together for the best interests of children and society," American Family Association of Indiana Executive Director Micah Clark said in a statement. "Men and women are uniquely and individually important. They are not interchangeable or discardable."
Gov. Mike Pence said he supported the attorney general's plan to appeal the ruling but would follow the law.

I received this from Star's owner, she is too young to be a Pet Talk member, but asked that I post this for her.
Today my two sweet little parakeets, Star and Sammy passed away. 2 hours ago I did not ever think I would be typing this. Sadly it was my own cat who took there lives. While we were gone she somehow got into my room, tipped over there cage and I guess the door came open. When we came home they were dead. I am crying as I write this. They were so sweet and loving. Only about a year old. I don't know what I will do without them. I just hope they didn't feel too much pain. No pet deserves to die that way. Felling so bad. Though I know it isn't really the cat's fault, she needs a new home. We will probably give her to my Grandpa. I will miss you forever Star and Sammy and I will never forget you!

Been trying to get a package from FedEx for a week (sitting at their warehouse for a week). We had to pro-actively solve their internal problems for three days now.
Unless we did all of this from our side I doubt that we would have received the package at all (still have not received it so I hope FedEx delivers it today).
Expensive, slow and ineffective I would personally avoid using FedEx if I have a choice.

I call my bike RT. "Come on, RT, let's go for a ride".
"Ok, RT, we have to leave now".
"Ah, RT, we shall rest for the night now".
I don't know if you should also call your bike RT.
Since you go by Atomicman, I have decided to name your bike Electron for you.
It is a good name, and hopefully, your bike will wear it in good health.
We had 60 today for work. We get cold and rainy for Saturday and just plain cold for Sunday. Cold being a high of low 40s which is cold for the upstate. Glad you got to ride! As much as I complain about the weather, I did get to ride last Saturday and Sunday.

Throughout the holiday week, YourObserver.com will be counting down the top 12 stories of 2011 (one from each month) from our Longboat, East County and Sarasota Observers and the Pelican Press. Check back each day for a reprinting — along with any relevant updates — of the biggest news items of the year.
An under-the-radar bill working its way through the Florida Legislature would allow construction of hotels and motels in any area zoned "residential."
It would strip local government's power to regulate or stop such construction in residential neighborhoods. Cities and counties all over Florida are mobilizing to stop House Bill 883. Among them are Orlando, Miami Beach and Sarasota County. A companion bill in the Florida Senate is called SB 476.
Former Venice City Council member Sue Lang spotted the bill because her city had been taken to court over a motel zoning issue. She alerted Siesta Key's Lourdes Ramirez, past president of the Siesta Key Association, who in turn tipped County Commissioner Nora Patterson.
The bill's key provision is as follows: "Notwithstanding any local law, ordinance or regulation, a vacation rental," as described in Florida State Statute 5089.242(1)(c), "is deemed residential property and may not be prohibited or treated differently than other residential property based solely on its classification, use or occupancy."
In simple terms, it means a motel or hotel can be built in any residentially zoned area. Further, it means regulation of short-term rentals of condominiums could not be regulated by city or county ordinance.
A memo from Sarasota County Attorney Alan Roddy to county lobbyist Marsha Hosack said the bill "is clearly intended to pre-empt local codes that may attempt to regulate 'vacation rentals,' which even appears to include 'transient accommodations' (any units rented for less than 30 days). Aside from a general problem with any pre-emption of the county's legislative prerogatives, this amendment appears to invalidate portions of the county's zoning regulation designed to control overnight rentals (and even motels and hotels) in otherwise residential areas."
When appraised of the bill on March 29, the Sarasota County Commission voted unanimously to send a letter opposing HB 883 and SB 476 to Rep. Doug Holder, head of the local legislative delegation.
"The bills could also lead to the creation of circumstances where anyone in a single-family development could rent rooms out in their house and compete with motels, as well as create other issues undesirable in residential areas," the letter said.
"The [Florida Association of Counties] was not aware of this," said Patterson, who is the commission chairwoman.
County Administrator Jim Ley said he'd informed the local city managers.
The House bill was filed by Rep. Abby Horner (R-Kissimmee). The Senate bill was filed by Sen. Greg Evers (R-Baker). If approved, the legislation would become effective July 1.
UPDATE: Legislators were able to make sure the new state law grandfathered in any existing county regulations. Therefore, Sarasota County's short-term rental regulations did not change.

TERRIFIC POSTING Mr. Schwaninger!!! It is about time this paper posted some opposing views on "The Messiah" and his vision of transforming this once great country into a much weaker country based on failed principles of Socialism.
Since this Pleasanton 2nd Grade teacher (in a former Pleasanton Weekly feature article), and no doubt many other Pleasanton teachers, are so concerned about giving the Messiah Obama enough visibility to your students, I hope this teacher will also please educate the students on how Obama will "change" this nation's economic foundation from that which has made us great...namely free-enterprise and capitalism to his preferred base of "socialism."
Now that I mention it, teachers please educate yourselves on "socialism" and how it deprives the human spirit of motivation, innovation, hard work and yes, reduces private sector jobs significantly.
Ronald Reagan inherited a much worse economy and unemployment rate, thanks to the miserable failure of Carter and his administration, and Reagan turned the US economy around very very quickly by reducing government interference and regulation...just the opposite of what Obama has in store for the US.
Teachers, are you spending one-tenth of your time teaching about Reagan compared to how much time you are spending on Obama?
Think about it.

Y'all are still living in the republican ideological neverland, the policies of which have now produced what is turning into the second GREAT DEPRESSION. Reagan, two Bush's, and a Republican controlled Congress (1993-2006) have now ruined our economy with their silly practice of trickle-down and Milton Friedman theory. Friedman's disciple Alan Greenspan can only say now that he is in "shocked disbelief". The experiment was run, it failed, and we now are suffering with the results, which will persist for many years. And our children will inherit it. By the way, is RS=Richard Schwaniger?

Excuse me, Mr./Ms. Pleasanton Heights. Please do your homework, write a report on the following and get back to me. Or...must I presume that you've been "educated" ...oops, I should say "indoctrinated" in liberalism by our local school system.
This financial meltdown was the absolute DIRECT result of DEMOCRAT policy ranging back to the failed Carter administration when the Community Reinvestment Act was passed. This fostered risky mortgage loans to people who couldn't otherwise afford the homes. Then Clinton EXPANDED this program exponentially. FannieMae and FreddieMac were created without necessary regulations, DESPITE the conservatives in congress (including McCain--tho he's not much of a conservative) blowing the whistle to warn of major problems ahead. Democrats Barney Frank, Frank Dodd and several others (including Obama) were WARNED repeatedly by the conservatives. Yet they did NOTHING. We all know the rest of the story. It was the DEMS and their liberalism that have brought us to this low point.
This videoclip is an accurate chronology of the banking crisis ...

and below is a letter signed by McCain and others WARNING about the impending crisis if nothing is done. (BTW: NO Democrats signed this letter. surprise. suprise.)
here's a letter signed 2006 by John McCain and other repubs requesting more regulations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Your thoughts NOW, Mr. Pleasanton Heights lib?
a resident of Pleasanton Heights
on Feb 6, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Knock off the name calling. You undermine your presentation, which you are offering as intelligent and reasonable.
I knew you would recite Carter and the Community Reinvestment act as the direct cause for our second GREAT DEPRESSION. I knew this because this has been largely the ONLY rebuttal that the ideologues could come up with to try to blame the democrats. The think tanks put this accusation out early on. Little new has been argued since then.
You and them would have us believe that one 30+ year old action caused a financial calamity in year 2008 DESPITE the operative control of Republicans during the interim, DESPITE nearly 30 years of a practice of a hands-off policy of our financial system by our leaders in Washington, DESPITE the acceptance of ideology of how free markets are supposed to regulate themselves through natural forces such as protecting shareholder interests ("shocked disbelief" by Alan), and DESPITE the successes of Reagan and two Bush's to reduce government, while they in turn swelled the national debt to record levels. Only Clinton reduced it. This one act supposedly forced mortgage brokers to sell loans to people who never should have qualified. It supposedly forced wall street investment bankers to package high risk mortgage loans into non-transparent derivative debt instruments along with standard risks loans and re-sell them to high-interest-rate- seeking investors who have been stiffed year after year by Alan Greenspan and his low interest rate policies, which in turn produced the appearance of national economic growth. After the two bubbles have now burst (stock market 2000 and housing 2008), we are in deep trouble.
This paragon of free enterprise, the financial system, and the whole of capitalism has now been brought to its knees because of......... now pay attention folks, JIMMY CARTER, FANNIE MAE, AND FREDDIE MAC!!! And during the whole time since the late 70's, not Reagan, nor George Bush, nor George Bush, nor Clinton, nor the Republican Congress saw this coming!!!!
I don't think the majority American public buys your argument. And thanks for the providing the soapbox. We need to shine a lot of light on these issues and your mouthing the party line of the think tanks helps a lot.

Since you obviously do not like to live in a capitalistic society where free enterprise (with some regulation) has created this wonderful country (albeit weakened...thanks to liberalism), please tell me which socialistic country do you admire most? Please consider improving this country by moving there.

PS...You mentioned that I was "name calling." What "name" do you find offensive? Is it the term "liberal / lib" ? I am a proud "conservative" and would prefer being called by that name.
Or would you rather be called "progressive"? How clever. Who wouldn't want to be considered "progressive." That is...unless you scratch the surface and learn what on earth Democrats feel they are "progressing toward." The only thing Democrats are progressing toward is a whole new system called the "political class" where the only thing that matters is big government, big brother, reduction of liberty, control of the communication airwaves, central banking, centralized healthcare, control of energy, government seizure of private property (i.e. eminent domain), further dependence of the people on big government, regulation upon more regulation, and a socialist/marxist form of rule like that of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
The above defines the Democrat party ... which could more accurately be called the American Socialist Party.
Tell me where I am wrong.

Regarding Mr. Schwaninger's comment on executive orders. Here's one that was just issued on 2/6 that can require project labor agreements (PLA) on federal construction projects, effectively shutting out any firm that does not use unions and labor agreements. It is well known that PLAs cause on average a 10-20% greater labor cost on projects due to the use of union negotiated wages, policies and practices.

"Fannie Mae will drop some credit-score requirements, reduce income-documentation standards and waive the need for appraisals in some cases, according to a notice yesterday to lenders posted on the Washington-based company's Web site. The changes apply to loans that the company owns or guarantees."
While President Obama berates the 'old tired policies of the last eight years' the federally run Fannie Mae is loosening mortgage standards. By his actions shall we know.

One major reason why we are having huge budget problems in california is that the state got drunk on the doc com revenue in the 90's and then did not curtail spending when many of those companies failed. Now we are paying the price for the democrats not controlling their spending habits.

What you are all failing to mention is the absurdity of Mr. Schwaninger's letter -- he is actually calling out a group of second graders and challenging their sweet and innocent remarks. It was supposed to be a heartwarming column, with the hopeful insight of unbiased children who still believe in rainbows and fairies.

What are you smoking, "KN"? Ms. V. "brain-washed" those poor souls and gave them nothing but false hope. That seems more like Germany in the 40s to me. All hail Prez Obama!

Unfortunately, Mr.Schwaninger's original letter is painfully, and perhaps even purposely misleading given the ridiculous implication that Ms.Vernon may be "brainwashing" the kids. She did cover the Presidential election and the subsequent Inauguration in her class. And as she occasionally does with various topics discussed in the class she recorded the kids' comments and sent a summary to the parents - a practice which provides parents with valuable insight to the classroom.
So where is the implied brainwashing? Where is the teacher's evil liberal socialist spin? It's simply not there.
And no, RS, just because the recent election and inauguration were covered in the schools, the kids do not therefore need to be taught about your personal favorite random Republican ex-President in order to have a "balanced" curriculum. Reagan? What about Ford? Where's the love for Jerry??? Or why not Nixon, or Hoover, or Harding? Those guys never get their fair share of elementary school coverage. The fact is, no teacher is spending class time trying to convince kids that Obama and his liberal ideals are going to save the planet. The critical microscope that teachers work under would thankfully never allow it.
My point is this - I'm ok with hard-core conservatives frantically offering their opinions to anyone who will listen at this point. Their ideological panic is entirely understandable given the circumstances. But taking political frustrations out on teachers is unjustified and desperately misguided. Teaching is an admirable profession, and difficult to do well. The good ones work diligently to provide appropriate content and experiences in their classrooms. And I can assure you, Ms.Vernon is one of the good ones.

Absolutely ridiculous! These are SECOND GRADERS. I find it pathetic that people are desperate enough to turn this into a political debate, attacking an excellent teacher simply allowing her students (with seven-year-old mentalities, mind you) to express and share their unbiased opinions. I am proud that my daughter is in Ms. V's class, and was given the opportunity to participate in this thought-provoking 'community circle,' innocently remarking on a historical moment. As for this completely blown out of propotion nonsense, what an embarrassment!

Dear Mr.Schwaninger,
I urge you to talk to every single parent in Ms. Vernon's class so they can tell you what a wonderful, creative, caring, passionate, unbiased teacher she really is. Your ignorant comments in your letter are the exact reason why this country is so divided today. Set your political agenda aside and look at the big picture. Perhaps you should take the energy it took to write such a ridiculous letter and put that energy into something that can actually help the community. I am grateful that you aren't my child's teacher.

To Stacy from Amberwood:
I am glad that my comments made you laugh. We all need to laugh more as it can have beneficial health benefits. However, please re-evaluate what you are laughing about in the larger sense.
The real person who is laughing AT YOU is Obama who is staking more and more claim over YOUR freedom and liberty (and every other US citizen). He is taking away, drip by drip, your freedom of choice (which this country was based on...remember the "Pledge of Alliegance" too?" What happened to the principles in that Pledge? He is taking away your freedoms ...
- in healthcare (he'll dictate what services you are 'worthy' of and who, and when you can be treated)
- in banking (i.e. nationalized banks)
- in transportation (soon, he'll tell you what transpo is "allowed"
- in energy production and consumption (they already do this in 'production' by blocking oil exploration)
- religion (did you see that the "Stimulus" Plan does not even allow funds to go to religious based schools?)
- in elections (did you notice the strongarmed tactics of ACORN?)
- and in other areas ...
I wish I had more of your "no worries" sense of humor. With the power HE is usurping, and the freedoms that are being taken away by Obama and the democrat party, I cannot share your sense of humor.

I wish I shared your optimism in partisanship, but the truth is I can't ever see myself mentally kowtowing in the name of a political party. Bush laughed just as hard as Obama must be now.

If a City were to have a mascot, based on the blind faith of the majority of voters in this town, its mascot should be a "lemming."

Why do we assume that 2nd graders can't come up with their own conclusions after watching the inauguration? Just because someone does not agree with what the 2nd graders took from the speech does not mean that Ms. Vernon told them to say that. Ms. Vernon did the right thing by sending home information to the parents on the discussion that day of exactly what was talked about. Stop blaming the teacher for allowing students to express themselves in class. Good for Ms. Vernon for bringing current events into her classroom.

their spasmodic demon strations proclaiming her son prince rup precht of bavaria the legitimate king of england it is not believed that this exhibition will be of any particular significance con sisting probably of a proclamation by the leaders asserting that the deceased princess was the blood successor of james 11 and that therefore edward vii is au im postor and should be forced from the throne in favor of rupprecht similar demonstrations by the stuartites or jacob ites have happened at frequent intervals throughout the past 300 years the claim they make to the throne is based upon the historical ousting of james stuart by a packed english parliament in 1089 and the appointment of william of orange as his successor the last furore created by the jacobites was in 1902 when they placarded london with proclamations demanding that the english people rise and dethrone the im postor edward the family of the late princess however never joined in the movement and lave always been

Bruno Mars brought his 24 karat style to Saturday Night Live last night (Oct. 15), where he performed his latest hit single "24 K Magic" as well as a new funky track, "Chunky."
Related: 5 Songs You Didn't Know Bruno Mars Wrote
Mars didn't confine things to the stage where musical guests normally perform for his first number, "24K Magic." Instead, he started with a "walk and rap" that took him through the studio's backstage area with three of his backup singer-dancers. The boys paused to break it down throughout their "stroll," showing that when it comes to putting on a show, Mars can sing and dance in equal measure.
For his second performance, Mars debuted a new single "Chunky." This time, he stuck to the main stage instead of wandering through the audience or behind the scenes.
In "Chunky," Mars praises well endowed girls who have their life together. "Shout out to the girls who pay they rent on time," he and his boys sing. Even though it's a slower tempo number than "24K Magic," it's no less funky and builds in some of the early '80s hip-hop flare that Mars has been toying with lately. "Ooh Chunky/ Looking for them girls with the big ol' hoops/ That drop it down in Daisy Dukes/ Yeah, them the ones I'm trying to recruit/ I'm looking at you, yeah, you, baby," he sings on the chorus.
Lady Gaga is up next week as the show's musical guest. Watch Mars do this thing below.
Another great musical moment saw a great parody of Beyonce's Lemonade track "Sorry," called "Melanianade," a song sung by Melania Trump (played by Cecily Strong), along with Ivanka Trump (this week's guest host Emily Blunt), Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), Omarosa (Sasheer Zamata) and Tiffany Trump (Vanessa Bayer), all airing their grievances about Donald Trump (played by Alec Baldwin, who has been playing Trump this season).
Unsurprisingly, Trump had his own feelings about the episode.
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!—

With all the talking done (and the Patriots are not innocent of this, but hey listen up) but with all the talking down by Canty and others this past week.
A lot of trash talk, why is it called confidence.
But if the Patriots or their fans do it its cockiness.
Oh, and Michael Strahan looks like Predator.

LaKama is a spice mixture found only in Northern Morocco, and it is used to flavor soups and tagines. Moroccan food — part Arab and part Berber — is not like Middle Eastern. Its cooking and spice mixtures are unique and change from region to region. I don't know of any other Arab country that has such a rich and varied cuisine.–Paula Wolfert
LC Make Ahead Note
You can prepare this dish one day in advance. After browning the lamb in the prune juices, allow everything to cool completely. Transfer the meat, prunes, and sauce to separate containers, and store in the fridge. The following day, remove any fat that has surfaced. Combine the meat, prunes, and sauce in a cazuela, tagine, or shallow ovenproof serving dish, cover, and set in a cold oven. Turn the heat to 325°F (160°C) and reheat until hot. Serve from the clay dish garnished with the almonds and sesame seeds.
Special Equipment: Wide tagine, cazuela and flame tamer, or skillet slow-cooker
Tagine of Lamb with Prunes, Almonds and LaKama Spices Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- For the LaKama Spices
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons ground Ceylon or Mexican cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- For the tagine
- 1 pound (18 to 20) unpitted large prunes, preferably Oregon's moyer prunes
- 3 pounds lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 3 large garlic cloves, crushed with 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon LaKama Spices
- Pinches of saffron
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon or Mexican cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon orange flower water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup blanched almonds, toasted in a slow oven (300°F) until golden brown
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- For the spice mix
- 1. Combine spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Make the tagine
- 2. Soak the prunes in warm water. Set aside.
- 3. Trim the lamb of excess fat. In a wide tagine or cazuela set over a flame tamer, or in a skillet slow-cooker, heat the butter with the garlic, LaKama spices, and saffron. Add the meat and stir until the aromas of the spices are released and the meat is nicely coated.
- 4. Add 2 cups water (it doesn't have to cover the meat), bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 2 hours (3 to 5 hours in the skillet slow-cooker).
- 5. After 1 hour, transfer 1/2 cup of the meat juices to a medium skillet, add the drained prunes, cinnamon, orange flower water, and sugar, and cook slowly until the prunes are lightly caramelized, about 25 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- 6. When the meat is tender, about 2 hours, remove from the heat. Push the prunes to one side in the skillet; return to medium heat. Working in batches, brown chunks of drained lamb in the syrupy prune juices until glazed on all sides.
- 7. Skim all the fat off the meat juices in the clay pot. Return the lamb, add the prunes and reheat. Decorate with almonds and sesame seeds and serve.

A PROFILE OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA: Workers of color have experienced higher unemployment rates than whites
In 2010, the unemployment rate for workers of color was higher than for whites in North Carolina.
- The unemployment rate for African-Americans in 2010 in North Carolina was 17.2 percent, 8 percent higher than the rate for African-Americans nationally (15.9 percent). It was also significantly higher than the state unemployment rate for whites in 2010 (8.7 percent).
- The unemployment rate for Latinos in 2010 in North Carolina was 10.7 percent, 2 percentage points higher than for whites in North Carolina in 2010.4
Over the course of the Great Recession, workers of color experienced a more dramatic loss of employment as well as a significant increase in their labor-force participation.
- From 2007 to 2010, the number of employed persons in North Carolina declined by 5 percent. For African-Americans the decline in employment was 7.4 percent, and for Latinos it went up by 8.6 percent. These declines were higher than for whites, who saw a 5.2 percent decline in the number of employed persons.
- Over this same period, the labor-force participation of whites remained constant, while labor force participation increased for African-Americans by 3 percent and for Latinos by 14.6 percent.6

It made sense at the time.
This is the album with "Tougher Than the Rest," "Spare Parts," "Cautious Man," "Tunnel of Love," "One Step Up," etc., plus, Bruce Springsteen wearing a bolo tie. If someone said to me, "For a period of one month, your half of every conversation about anything that matters must be conducted solely in lyrics from this album," I would say, "That is not a problem. Where did I put that harmonica?"
This is actually the nail polish post I mentioned a few posts ago, but I'm getting there in a roundabout way. It has to do with Springsteen's Bill Horton, the "cautious man of the road." Do you know about Billy's tattoos? "On his right hand Billy tattooed the word 'love' and on his left hand was the word 'fear.'" I've been feeling a kind of camaraderie with Billy lately when I paint my nails, because while I don't know that I've ever been moved to paint my nails in "love" and "fear" colors, the colors/arrangements I choose always have significance to me. I love that Billy knows what matters to him and has the urge to be representational about it on his own body. I love being thoughtful about the way I decorate my body, which is, after all, the container of my life.
Some recent expressions:
|Also, you should read that story in the background.
"A Rose for Ecclesiastes," by Roger Zelazny -- so good.
|On my left hand, little suns rising...
|... and on my right -- this was really hard to photograph, so it might
be hard to parse, but those are little moons in a dark sky over water.
If you look closely you'll see the moons are crossing the sky nail to
nail. It's time-lapse nail polish :)
|Maybe clearer here?
|Or here. If you're curious about what I was
reading when I snapped these pics, it's the story
"Judith" by C.E. Montague.
By the way, I've blogged before about how important it is to make messes when you're writing. I also recommend it when self-decorating.
|Left hand in progress.
|Almost done with the left hand.
Wait for it to dry...
|...so you can use that hand to paint a mess on the right :)
Final note: I am planning a small blog break, starting now, during which I intend to contemplate my bloggy equilibrium. Be well, readers, and see you on the flip side.

Jeanne Lawrence, PhD, professor and interim chair of cell & developmental biology, is one of the inaugural recipients of grants in a new program supporting translational research into developmental disabilities. The John Merck Fund announced today three grants of $1 million each in a new multi-year research program to support translational research into developmental disabilities. The Translational Research Program supports scientists in developing treatments and improving outcomes for individuals with developmental disabilities, particularly Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome (and FX-associated disorders).
"Through this program, the fund is expanding its longstanding commitment to improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities and their families," said Olivia Farr, chair of The John Merck Fund. "The program will make approximately 10 grant awards of $1 million each."
"What's especially exciting about this program," said Marsha Mailick, PhD, chair of the fund's scientific advisory board, "is that it supports research with potential game-changing impact that is within the realm of probability—not just possibility—and could be achieved within 10 years."
Dr. Lawrence's research project, "Accelerating Down Syndrome Progress by Translating Dosage Compensation to Trisomy," will pursue a unique approach to Down syndrome translational research based on the concept of functionally correcting the over-representation of Chromosome 21 genes, by de-activating one of the three copies of Chromosome 21. "Where most people have two copies of Chromosome 21, those with Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21) have all or part of a third copy of this chromosome," explained Lawrence." Our lab has long worked on uncovering basic mechanisms whereby the expression of normal genes is controlled during development—the process known as epigenetics. The overall goal in this project is to translate recent developments in understanding these basic epigenetic mechanisms to a new research frontier in chromosome pathology that accelerates clinical translational progress in Down syndrome."
Other projects funded by the Merck Fund in this initial program include research by two investigators studying Fragile X syndrome. The awards were made through a competitive review process that began with 100 preliminary proposals and was narrowed down to 17 full proposals.
According to the announcement, The John Merck Fund has had a longstanding interest in people with intellectual and developmental disorders since its inception in 1970. In October 2011, the fund announced that it will spend all of its assets over the next 10 years to spur progress in four topic areas: treatment of developmental disabilities, clean energy, environmental health, and development of a New England regional food system. The Translational Research Program is part of that ongoing commitment.
The Boston-based foundation, established in 1970 by the late Serena Merck and now in its third generation of family leadership, currently holds $75 million in assets.

Manuel pleased with Phillies' spring so far
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
The Phillies allowed just one hit Monday in a 5-0 victory over the Pirates at McKechnie Field to improve to 5-5-1, winning five of their last eight Grapefruit League games. Ryan Howard has looked good, starting the spring's first 11 games.
Chase Utley is playing whenever scheduled, and has looked fine. Roy Halladay says he feels better than he felt last year. Domonic Brown is tearing the cover off the ball. And after an awful start defensively, the Phillies have done a bit of a better job catching the ball.
"We've worked hard," Manuel said. "And about the last three days really, if you've noticed, we've started to swing the bats better. We've started to play better. Things are starting to work for us. We're healthy. We're playing everybody to see what we've got. Yeah, I like the way our camp has been running so far."
Manuel said Brown has stepped forward early. Brown is fighting for regular playing time in the outfield, and has hit .348 with one double, three home runs and four RBIs in 23 at-bats. If the season started Tuesday, he would have to be the Opening Day right fielder.
"He's showed a good stroke since we've started playing games," Manuel said. "He's been the consistent guy as far as how he's looked at the plate."
Of course, there are 22 games to play before the Phillies head to Philadelphia for a pair of exhibition games March 29-30 against the Blue Jays. Anything can happen in that time. But so far, Manuel likes what he sees.
Lannan continues strong spring with latest outing
BRADENTON, Fla. -- John Lannan has looked fine in his first two Grapefruit League starts.
He allowed one hit and two walks in three scoreless innings Monday in a 5-0 victory over the Pirates at McKechnie Field, although he certainly did not like walking the leadoff hitter in the second and third innings. Lannan has allowed five hits, one run, two walks and struck out one in five innings this spring.
He will open the season as the team's fifth starter.
Lannan got a nice break before he pitched the second inning Monday because the Phillies scored four runs in the top of the second, three of them on bases-loaded walks. Pitchers often talk about getting used to the "up and downs" during Spring Training, the times when pitchers take a seat in the dugout before getting their next inning of work.
Lannan had a long one there.
"It's good to practice that now and keep the legs going," he said. "It was good to have that long rest. It was difficult, but it's something you've got to adjust to. … I felt like I had a good rhythm today. The fastball felt good, and I had a good mix with [catcher Humberto] Quintero back there."
Adams sharp in second spring appearance
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Phillies setup man Mike Adams looked sharp in his second appearance this spring.
He struck out one in a perfect inning Monday in a 5-0 victory over the Pirates at McKechnie Field. He has made two scoreless appearances this spring. Adams is coming back after having thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in October.
"I feel good," he said. "Everything is coming along the way I expected, the way I hoped. It feels like the arm strength is getting a little better every outing. I'm just trying to carry this the rest of the month and into April."
Outfielder Young to have ankle examined in LA
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Phillies outfielder Delmon Young is scheduled to fly Tuesday morning to Los Angeles to have his surgically repaired right ankle examined.
He had microfracture surgery in November.
Young has not participated in workouts with his teammates this spring, although he has been hitting off the practice tee, throwing long toss and running at 90 percent of his body weight on a treadmill. Young said he is optimistic the doctor will give him good news, which would allow him to step up his rehabilitation program. The Phillies remain hopeful Young will play in Grapefruit League games before the team heads to Philadelphia on March 28.
Rosenberg dealing with minor elbow issue
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Phillies right-hander B.J. Rosenberg has some tenderness in his right elbow, which was why he did not pitch Sunday as scheduled.
It is not considered serious.
Rosenberg, who could be back in a Grapefruit League game in a couple days, is competing for one of three job openings in the bullpen. He is 0-1 with a 15.00 ERA in two appearances this spring. He has allowed eight hits, six runs (five earned runs) and three walks in three innings. He went 1-2 with a 6.12 ERA in 22 games last season.

1- What is it about Edward and Jake that makes their answer to Bella's request that they stay behind and not fight different? Would Jake's answer be different if Edward were not in the picture?
How much their families raised them makes the difference. Jacob's pack had basically taught their members to fight to matter what. If they are in love with a woman who isn't a werewolf, she is expected to wait until they come back... like Emily and Sam. Therefore Jacob felt obligated to go fight, so it wouldn't matter if Edward was in the picture or not. Fighting is almost like a second nature to everyone in the pack. Edward's family, on the other hand, are a lot more understanding with this issue. His family would not comdemn him either way. In fact, they believe that you should fight only when it is absolutely nessary. Therefore, to Edward he had more choice in the sense that if he didn't join in on the fight, he family would not view him as a traitor.
2- Is there something more to why Jake doesn't step into the role of Alpha Male? Will he decide to become chief later on?
Yes, I think that he was counting on Bella choosing him over Edward and he wanted to have the opportunity to spent more time with her than his pack. If he had nothing to loose, I think he would become chief at some point.
3- Why is the wedding so important to Alice? Is her motivation truly for Bella's (eventual) happiness or is she being selfish in wanting to coordinate a big event?
Alice knows that she missed out on a lot of human events in her life, so anything a big occasion (or just a fun event) rolls around, she can't help but want to have as much of it as she can. I think it's also because Alice is the type of person who likes to have fun. It gives her an opportunity to take a break from the constant chaos in the Cullen family. (By chaos I mean there is always some war that they have to prepare for, or some future to watch. In a way, Alice is the one who is under the most pressure because she is expected to be perfect with her visions). As for Bella's happiness, honestly no I don't think that is really her motivation. Alice can add spunk to the event, but Bella is a hard person to make happy. She always has something that occupies her mind.

Cloud Peak Energy has filed a law suit against its business partner, Ambre Energy Ltd., regarding a dispute on the future use of the Decker Coal Mine 20 miles north of Sheridan. Ambre Energy bought a 50 percent interest in the mine in November of last year.
Since Ambre Energy took over, the mine has been working toward increasing production for export to Asian markets.
According to Businessweek.com, Cloud Peak's subsidiary, Western Minerals LLC, wants Ambre Energy's mine manager removed, alleging the current management is abusing its obligations and responsibilities. Ambre Energy said the management has done nothing wrong and said Cloud Peak wants the Decker Mine closed because it owns a competing coal mine where production has been increasing.
Calls to parties involved in the lawsuit have not been returned.

DIY: Make a Reclaimed Paper Heart Garland from an Old Map
September 19th, 2012 | by Becky Striepe
Don't you just love old maps? Whether they're from a town where you used to live or a special road trip, maps remind us of where we've been. Next time you discover an old map, you can make a paper garland instead of tossing it in the recycle bin. What I love best about this project is that it's super simple, and it's scalable. I used 7 hearts to decorate a wall shelf, but you could cut out dozens and make one to hang all the way across a wall!

[UPDATE BELOW]I just received this email from Patsy's in East Harlem:
Patsy's is celebrating its 76th bigger and better than ever! 90¢ steak, 60¢ pizza pies, 1¢ sodas. The NYPD and the FDNY will have a pizza-eating challenge. 118th Street and First Avenue will officially be renamed "Patsy's Way," and many other surprises. Join celebrities, elected officials, and others as we do this like never before.
After the phone number in the contact info is the directive to "CALL TODAY (Limited Seating)." They probably don't want a repeat of last year.

2287-91 First Avenue, New York NY (at 118 Street) 212-534-9783
Update: Gothamist reports and Cary (Passion-4-Pizza) comments here that Patsy's is not taking reservations. I have no idea why they put that in their email.
