The Hope College Knickerbocker Film Series will present the movie "A Man Named Pearl" on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 23-24; Monday-Wednesday, Jan. 26-28; and Friday, Jan. 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
"A Man Named Pearl" is a documentary that tells the inspiring story of self-taught topiary artist Pearl Fryar. It offers an upbeat message that speaks of respect for both self and others, and shows what one person can achieve when he allows himself to share the full expression of his humanity. Stung early on by racist comment about how African-Americans keep their lawns, Pearl has gone on to have his yard work studied by artists and landscapers alike.
Pearl has been featured in dozens of magazines and newspapers, including "The New York Times," as well as several television programs such as "CBS Sunday Morning." The media interest that Pearl and his topiary garden generates helps steer much-needed tourist dollars into the declining town of Bishopville and LeeCounty, the poorest county in the state of South Carolina.
But the impact that Pearl and his art have had on his community is not just economic. He also had a profound spiritual influence. Visitors who wander Pearl's three-and-a-half-acre property quickly recognize that love is the garden's central theme. These are the guiding principles by which Pearl lives his life and how he's been keeping up his yard for nearly 30 years.
Bill Thompson from the "Charleston Post and Courier" has said, "In a sea of pedantic, heavy-handed political documentaries, 'A Man Named Pearl' offers both an effective social statement on race relations and human potential."
Tickets are $6 for regular admission and $5 for students and senior citizens, and will be available at the door.
Additional information about "A Man Named Pearl" and other upcoming films may be obtained at the Knickerbocker Web site, which can be reached through www.hope.edu/arts.
The Knickerbocker Theatre is located in downtown Holland at 86 E. Eighth St.

After a Car Crash, an HIV Diagnosis That Changed a Life
Part of the Series Day One With HIV
My first day? I remember it like it was yesterday. It's been 10 years today -- May 1st. I was involved in a wreck in 2004. I had a drunk driver slam into my driver's door at 75 mph. I was sitting at a stop light waiting for the turn arrow, talking to my mother on the phone. She heard the impact and me screaming. She left work and made her way to the accident. She held my hand until they had me free. It took the EMT four hours to cut me out of the car. Had I not been driving an old car I would have been killed on impact. The frame under the car was touching each other and between them was the drive shaft, smashed flat. The car was pushed half a block sideways and rolled into a ditch. I thankfully don't remember anything. I do remember waking up in the ER with everyone yelling and moving quickly around my bed. My mother was still holding my hand and praying. I couldn't talk because they had an air tube down my throat. I was hooked up to about every machine they could get on me. I had lost a lot of blood and needed surgery to repair my broken ribs that had punched my left lung. I was in surgery 16 hours.
I don't remember much about the next few weeks. The day I was told I was HIV positive, I was still in the hospital and recovering. The young doctor walked in and sat my mother down beside my bed, and told us that it was not a good report he was about to tell us. One of the seven pints of blood was mislabeled in the storage area and contained HIV. It was for another person that was having surgery. It was their blood. Someone had grabbed it by mistake. He had a tear in his eyes.
I was devastated, totally numb when I heard this. I had lost many friends to HIV and knew how sick they were before they died. All I could see was myself like that. Mother was crying so hard she made herself sick. I could do nothing but lay there and cry. What would I tell my family? How do you tell someone that you're positive? How long did I have before I died? How could someone be so careless to misdirect or mislabel something so important? Would I live to see my nieces and nephews grow up? Would my family reject me? On and on, endless questions. Million of questions raced through my head.
I was like a zombie for a few days. I didn't want to eat, see anyone, be touched or even live. That's when I met a volunteer who was also positive. She answered a lot of my questions, smiled and told me it would alright. That was 10 years ago. We have been through a lot of ups and downs, lost a few friends along the way, rejected by some family, beat up by others. I even had a few bumps and bruises, made new friends and started living again. She became one of my best, closest friends. We have shared many laughs, cries and several ups and downs together. "It's all in how YOU look at your life. NOT what you have or don't have," is what she always tells me. You know, she is right. Life is what you make of it, not what disease you carry just how you handle it with life.
Yes, I have HIV. But it will be a cold day on the Sun that it has ME!
Want to share your own "Day One With HIV" story of finding out your diagnosis? Write out your story (1,000 words or fewer, please!), or film a YouTube video, and email it to email@example.com. In the coming months, we'll be posting readers' "Day One" stories here in our HIV/AIDS Resource Center for the Newly Diagnosed. Read other stories in this series.

Given how very many excellent songs there are of this genre and its sub-genres, and given that we could more than likely create a classical favorites list for most of the artists mentioned below, I figured it best to simply document the first dozen songs that came to my mind -- those I think exemplify Indian classical music (and where applicable, dance) as used in Hindi film, and those I know I've loved over many many years by now.
They're ranked in order of my fondness. I trust you will enjoy them. That I am a big fan of Rafi, Lata, and Asha is an allegation I shall gladly accept. :) The only filter is I've tried to avoid songs in proper Urdu here, which I'll look to dedicate at least one post to some other time. All links are to videos on YouTube (active as of the publication of this post), which are also the source for pictures contained in this post.
Please help me build on this list by adding your favorites to the comments!
12. Garjat Barsat Saawan Aayo Re (YouTube link)
They accompany the opening credits to the 1960 film Barsaat Ki Raat, and they'd might as well be the intro song on this list. "The Monsoon arrives Bellowing and Pouring," sung by Suman Kalyanpur and Kamal Barot, with music by Roshan and lyrics by house favorite Sahir Ludhianvi. The film stars Madhubala, which means it's now in my to-watch list. Want a modern take of the 'Garaj Baras' root? Check out this rock rendition from Coke Studio.
11. Jhanak Jhanak Tori Baaje Paayaliya (YouTube link)
9. Kaise Samjhaaoon? (YouTube link)
This is the most recently released classical song I've fallen in love with, which is not saying much given how long ago Devdas (2002) was released. But the good news is at least this song has everything I ask for in a great classical song. The lyrics (Nusrat Badr) are splendid. The music (Ismail Darbar) is absolutely stunning, as are the singing (Pt. Birju Maharaj, Kavita Krishnamurthy) and Madhuri Dixit and her astonishingly flamboyant dance, and self. Check it out:
7. Radha Kaise Na Jale (YouTube link)
From the film Lagaan (2001). Music by A. R. Rahman, vocals by Asha Bhosle and Udit Narayan, and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Okay, did you really think I was going to skip this? ;) If you're a new visitor to the blog, I invite you to check out the Annual Lagaan Week posts from the last four years. I'll spare the rest of you of any further Lagaan discussion. Told you it has everything!
6. Chhota Sa Balma (YouTube link -- audio only)
Vintage Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, listen for yourself. From the film Miss Mary (1957), with music by Hemant Kumar and lyrics by Rajendra Krishan.
4. Mann Mohan Mann Mein (YouTube link)
Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, and Shiv Dayal Batish sing this song for the film Kaise Kahoon. The lyrics are by Shakeel Badayuni, and music by S. D. Burman. Splendid stuff all round.
My admiration for Madhubala is well-documented. Madhubala in Mughal-e-Azam (1960) is ethereal, but let that not take away from a fabulous song, with music by Naushad, lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni, and vocals by Lata Mangeshkar. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
2. Kaahe Tarsaaye (YouTube link)
2. Tu Hai Mera Prem Devta (YouTube link)
1. Madhuban Mein Radhika (YouTube link)

I am surprised that after a close watch at some freestyle videos, the kite that apparantly had the best pop, was the airush Razor, and perhaps second was the north vegas. Go to youtube and search for some Alex Pastor action and the pop he makes is amazing.
I mean of course all the pros can do any trick in any kite, but for all mortals, it would be very helpful to have a kite that truly has some nice pop.
I tried to look for a pop similar to the Razor's in some fuel videos, and it really does not seem that that kite can generate a great amount of pop. Some of Youri Zoon's videos using the RPM show great pop. But I insist, nothing compared to the Razor's.
Whats the deal on this? I mean, if you go Fuel, Razor, Vegas, One would asume a very similar performance, right?
Any comments on your experience with some nice poping Kites?

Alistair Meadows from DTZ to join as Regional Director, Head of International Capital Markets Group, Asia Pacific, based in Singapore
SINGAPORE, MAY 24, 2010 — Jones Lang LaSalle is pleased to announce that the firm has strengthened its International Capital Markets business with the appointment of Alistair Meadows, a respected Capital Markets expert. Meadows, who will officially assume his role as Head of International Capital Group, Asia Pacific (ICG) from August this year, will be based in Singapore.
Meadows, who has 15 years international real estate experience within Asia Pacific and Europe, joins Jones Lang LaSalle from DTZ Sydney, where he held the role of Regional Director, Capital Markets. He will work alongside Andrew Martin, a member of the ICG based in Sydney, Australia, and Stuart Crow, Head of Asia Pacific Capital Markets in Singapore, to help drive the expansion of the firm's global Capital Markets business.
Jones Lang LaSalle's ICG team is a group of senior Capital Markets professionals who oversee and coordinate the sale and financing of trophy assets with global investor appeal. Meadows will focus on facilitating cross border capital flows and investment transactions, driving sources of capital especially in Korea, China and South East Asia, to invest outside of Asia Pacific.
Arthur de Haast, Lead Director of the firm's International Capital Group says, "The experience, expertise and client networks that Alistair brings on board will bolster the support that our global ICG teams in London, Washington DC, Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong and Dubai, provide to the local and regional Capital Markets teams across the globe. Attracting senior leaders like him to our firm is also evidence that our expanding capital markets business and dominant global brand create a career opportunity for the best in our industry."
"In the past six months, Jones Lang LaSalle has moved assertively to build an industry-leading Capital Markets business that leverages on our global connections, cross border expertise and research capabilities, to provide clients with the best advice on their global investment transactions," adds de Haast.
Alastair Hughes, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle for Asia Pacific says, "The appointment of Alistair is a coup for our Capital Markets business. He has an impressive track record which will further strengthen our global connectivity in the real estate Capital Markets and Corporate Finance arena."
"We are well positioned to take advantage of the increase in capital volumes in the property market. Cross border momentum is building as economies continue to recover and with an expected growth in investment volumes of 35-45% across the region this year, we are seeing a renewed appeal to investors in the market," comments Hughes.
Meadows, who is 39, holds a Masters Degree in Land Economy from Cambridge University and a Bachelor of Arts from University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. During his tenure with DTZ, he was responsible for major cross border investment transactions totaling over USD3 billion, with both in-bound capital to Australia and out-bound capital to Europe and Japan.

Cover Shot! is a regular feature here at the Café. I love discovering new covers, and when I find them, I like to share. More than anything else, I am consumed with the mystery that each new discovery represents. There is an allure to a beautiful cover. Will the story contained under the pages live up to promise of the gorgeous cover art?
I haven't read Falling Kingdoms yet, but that doesn't stop me from being excited about the next release in the series. Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes has a cool cover. What's up with the pyramid? Hopefully I'll get a chance to find out in December, after reading Falling Kingdoms.
In stores December 2013
Auranos has been conquered and the three kingdoms — Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia — are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But alluring, dangerous magic still beckons, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the world…
CLEO is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica as the evil King Gaius lies to her people
MAGNUS stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister Lucia
LUCIA is haunted by the outcome of the breathtaking display of magic that allowed her father to capture the kingdoms
JONAS watches at the palace gates, a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius
When Gaius announces that a road is to be built into the Forbidden Mountains, formally linking all of Mytica together, he sets off a chain of events that will forever change the face of this land. Because Gaius is not just burrowing into a pile of rock. He's tunneling directly into the Watchers' Sanctuary. And his actions will have cosmic consequences.

Item at Mitchell-Innes and Nash
Photos by G.
Mitchell-Innes and Nash in New York has a hot new exhibit called "Item," and though the connotation of the word might make you think of ordinary items, this exhibit is filled with items that are extraordinary. As you can see above in Rashid Johnson's mixed media piece "Time Flies," he has recreated a part of a bathroom with some special items in it such as a plant and an Al Green record (most likely to get you in the mood). The exhibit features work from Erica Baum, Mel Borchner, Carol Bove, Mathew Cerletty, Liz Deschenes, Wayne Gonzales, Rashid Johnson, Giorgio Morandi, Allen Ruppersberg, Stephen Shore, Michael Smith and Roger White. There are a few more awesome images from "Item" after the jump. "Item" runs through August 13, 2010 at Mitchell-Innes and Nash located at 534 West 26th Street in New York.

We are meant to experience joy in our lives and we've been programmed to believe that in order to feel joy, we have to suffer. So The Happy Channel is about bringing that force of joy out to remember that it's available to us all of the time."
The site, Eve said, is similar to Facebook in that it is free to join and allows users to create a user profile, connect with other users, and ask friends to join the community. You can also "like" certain stories or videos and share them with other users. Those that have the most "likes" get placement on the website homepage. The comments are monitored and Eve said any negative posts are removed immediately. You don't have to join the site to benefit from the content, but Eve said those who do enjoy being part of a like-minded community.
"The intention is not for it to be cliquey," she said. "It's to be expansive. This is meant to be for the entire world and not for one location. And I don't promote things that are ego-driven. It's about servicing the world and promoting things that give back."
Here are Eve's tips for using social media and the Internet to promote happiness and initiate positive change:
Follow those who inspire you.
"When you feel less than great in your day, seek out the people or things online that will make you smile," she said. "We like to try and bring those people, stories or videos to one place. The Happy Channel is like a pick-me-up. You can see the things that remind you of why you are where you are and why you're on the path that you're on."
Don't feed the negativity.
"A lot of us will eat at our desk and never leave the office. Then we start watching negative stories and complain in emails and we keep feeding the negativity. Give yourself permission to take a break and physically step away from the computer. You deserve it and it will help you work better. And don't pass on the negative stories. That just continues the cycle."
Share with others.
"Being of service is why we are here. Our natural instincts are to help people and want to help people. When you help others, you feel good about yourselves. You provide in some way and it feels good to be needed. And that sharing or serving can be by sending a video or a story to someone you know who needs it. I see it on the site when people share 'The Happy Video of the Day' and it has gotten a lot of 'likes'. It creates a continuum and it becomes contagious."

QUESTION: Is integrated care pathway (ICP) based management more effective than conventional multidisciplinary care in reducing length of hospital stay in patients with acute stroke who require specialist rehabilitation?
Randomised (allocation concealed), unblinded, controlled trial with follow up to 26 weeks.
A stroke rehabilitation unit in a hospital in London, UK.
152 patients (mean age 75 y, 51% men) who had acute stroke within the previous 2 weeks; and had persistent motor, sensory, vision, speech, perceptual, or cognitive impairment that limited personal activities of daily living (ADL) and required inpatient rehabilitation. Exclusion criterion was severe premorbid disability. Follow up was complete, although some measures had incomplete data (≤18% of records).
76 patients were allocated to rehabilitation managed by an ICP (organised, goal defined, and time managed care plan). The ICP was developed by a multidisciplinary stroke team on the basis of an extensive review of published and unpublished literature. Therapeutic activities, short term goals, and predicted time to achieve the goals were defined in advance. A senior nurse was appointed to implement ICP management. 76 patients were allocated to conventional, multidisciplinary care. They were assessed comprehensively and received individualised rehabilitation programmes designed by the multidisciplinary team. Therapeutic activities, short term goals, and time to achieve the goals were discussed at weekly meetings and based on patient progress.
Main outcome measures
Main outcome was mean length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included mortality, rate of institutionalisation, ADL (Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index), disability (Rankin Score), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), duration of physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and quality of life (Euroquol Quality of Life Score).
Main results
Analysis was by intention to treat. At 26 weeks, the ICP and conventional care groups did not differ for mean length of hospital stay (50 v 45 d, {p=0.3}*), mortality (13% v 8%, {p=0.3}*), rate of institutionalisation (13% v 21%, {p=0.2}*), ADL, disability, anxiety and depression, or mean duration of physiotherapy (42.8 v 39.4 h, {p=0.2}*) and occupational therapy (8.5 v 8.0 h, {p=0.7}*). Patients who received ICP care had lower quality of life scores than those who received conventional care (median score 63 v 72, p<0.005).
Integrated care pathway (ICP) based management of patients with acute stroke did not reduce length of hospital stay. ICP management was as effective as conventional multidisciplinary care in terms of mortality, rate of institutionalisation, activities of daily living, disability, anxiety and depression, and duration of physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Patients who received ICP based care had lower quality of life scores.
The study by Sulch et al is one of the first trials to examine the effectiveness of an ICP on outcomes of stroke in a multidisciplinary environment. The authors conclude that ICP care made no difference to clinical outcome or length of stay, although several factors may limit the generalisability of the findings. Even in patients with major functional and cognitive impairments, the average length of stay, nearly 7 weeks, is atypical by North American standards. The differences in rates of institutionalisation and death were not statistically significant, but the sample size was too small to exclude clinically important differences. Given that no other differences in outcome were found in the 2 groups, the finding of increased quality of life in patients receiving conventional care is a secondary one. The authors suggest, however, that the less structured approach of conventional care may have allowed patients to dictate the pace of their rehabilitation more than the ICP approach, and this may have positively influenced their perceptions of wellbeing.
Each intervention was delivered in separate bed areas by separate teams. Each team may have had unique features, such as educational levels and staffing patterns, that influenced clinical outcomes. The educational level and leadership style of the senior nurse who implemented the ICP may have influenced the outcomes. The senior nurse was hired specifically to coordinate the ICP, incurring additional costs to achieve similar or less favourable outcomes. The multidisciplinary team developed the ICP. Unless the ICP staff received further education about rehabilitation, they may simply have delivered similar care to that of the conventional multidisciplinary team.
Several studies have shown that a collaborative, multidisciplinary team with clinical expertise can achieve improved outcomes in the absence of clinical pathways.1, 2 This study shows no additional benefit of using an ICP to guide multidisciplinary stroke care when compared with conventional multidisciplinary stroke care. The possibility that ICPs may work in other settings cannot be excluded.

Lady Gaga to Close NYC's Roseland With Four-Date Residency
Famed midtown NYC venue Roseland Ballroom will be ceasing operations and shutting its doors for good in early 2014. Lady Gaga, a native New Yorker, will play the final shows ever hosted at the venue with a four-date residency scheduled for March 28, 30, 31 and April 1.
The residency, which should be a full-on, Gagafied production, launches on Gaga's 28th birthday, so it'll be bittersweet for her to close a storied venue while celebrating her bday.
Beyonce also enjoyed a residency at the famed Roseland back in August 2011 and filmed a DVD while there. So clearly, the venue has hosted its fair share of divas. It's fitting, however, for Gaga to literally shut it down since she is a native daughter.
First access to tickets is being offered to members of Gaga's Little Monsters site.
Go here to register. Randomly selected registrants will receive an email invite and a unique code to purchase tickets on Thursday, Nov. 21. The code allows fans to purchase a pair of tickets to the show of their choice. Early registration does not, however, guarantee the receipt of a code, so it's sort of like a lottery.

Il 3 maggio 2012 il nostro futuro docente di Esegesi NT Piotr Blajer ha conseguito il Dottorato presso la Catholic University of America.
Rev. Frank J. Matera, Ph.D.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37):
Its Function and Purpose within the Lukan Journey Section
This dissertation begins with a history of research. Early Christian Writers and the Fathers of the Church tended to interpret the parable of the Good Samaritan allegorically. This method of interpretation remained a major way of reading the parable until the end of the nineteenth century. In the wake of Adolf Jülicher's studies on the parables, however, scholars began to explore the origin of the parable, its classification, as well as its historical background. After this history of research, the first chapter of the dissertation concludes that scholars have not given sufficient attention to the literary setting of the parable of the Good Samaritan within the Lukan journey section.
In the second chapter this dissertation discusses the text and structure of the parable as well as the meaning of "neighbor" in the time of Jesus and the origin of the animosity between the Jews and Samaritans. The chapter concludes that the parable of the Good Samaritan has two major parts, the initial dialogue between the scholar of the law and Jesus (10:25-28) and the parable proper (10:29-37).
The third chapter considers the literary setting of the parable; namely, the Lukan journey section (9:51–19:46). The study of this chapter shows that the placement of the travel notices pointing to Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is not random. They serve to highlight the passages, which remind the reader of the universal scope of salvation. The dissertation distinguishes between the geographical end of the journey section, the entry into the temple area (19:46), and the final goal of the journey section, which is Jesus' ascension into heaven (24:50-53; Acts 1:6-12). This distinction enables the reader to see salvation as destined for all people regardless of their pedigree or socio-economic status.
The fourth chapter offers a narrative analysis of the parable of the Good Samaritan. The analysis notes that the narrator omits any information that could identify the wounded man. The Samaritan is unable to identify the wounded man, his origin, or social status; nonetheless he chooses to do whatever is necessary to assist him. Thus, the parable of an unnamed man who falls into the hands of the robbers and of a Samaritan traveler who helps him challenges the scholar of the law to accept Jesus' teaching. In this way the scholar finds the answer to his question; one cannot inherit eternal life unless one accepts all people regardless of their origin.
The final chapter shows how the parable of the Good Samaritan picks up the major themes of the journey section and develops them further (Jesus comes to fulfill the law not to abolish it, universal salvation destined for all regardless of their status, and the growing conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders of the people).

Struggles with sluggish sourdough starter
I have just relocated to San Francisco, and in keeping with the spirit of the place (plus my graduation to a kitchen larger than a closet) tried my hand with sourdough starter. I'm using Peter Reinhart's 4-day procedure (using first pineapple juice and coarse rye, then water and KAF bread dough). By day 4, a Friday, after giving the seed culture an additional feeding because it seemed pretty inactive, I got enough of a rise to move to the "barm" stage. What he writes is that I should then expect a significant rise in a 6-hour window, what I got 12 hours later was .... pretty much nothing more than some bubbles. I put the barm in the refrigerator at this stage because I was heading out for the weekend, and today (Monday) what I see is the same volume with a lot of bubbles in it. Can anyone give me tips on how to turn this into something resembling a lively starter/barm? What am I doing wrong? Here are few things that might be influencing the outcome:
-My apartment is at about 68 degrees most days. I put the seed culture on day 4 into the oven with the light on to see if this speeded up activity (it did, some) but otherwise let it grow in the open air. I also kept the barm in the oven for the first 12 hours for the same reason.
-I have used a 2-liter container, which increased the surface area of the starter
-I only used plastic utensils
-My timing was generally good, but during that last rise after moving to the barm stage, I only checked the barm up until about 4 hours, then again at 12 hours (I had to get some sleep!).
Thanks so much. I really don't want to throw this out and start again as I'm optimistic that the bubbles = activity, I just want to perk up this rather sluggish barm! Right now it's residing in the refrigerator.

"Like ev'ry flower wilts, like youth is fading
and turns to age, so also one's achieving:
Each virtue and each wisdom needs parading
in one's own time, and must not last forever.
The heart must be, at each new call for leaving,
prepared to part and start without the tragic,
without the grief- with courage to endeavor
a novel bond, a disparate connection:
for each beginning bears a special magic
that nurtures living and bestows protection"

My name is Michael Carroll of Houston, Texas. I am searching for any information that anyone may know about my grandmother Florene Limabelle Jones. She was born March 12, 1927 and told me that she was from Quitman. She passed away September 20, 2000 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Irving, Texas. From what I understand, she was referred to a "Belle" to her friends and family. She lived in Irving, Texas most of her life, and worked for Texas Instruments for over 35 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

To follow is a Q/A from Charley Rosen on Fox Sports.
I find his comments usualy negetive by nature, but they do seem to co-incide with alot of warriors on the message board.
I really enjoy your probing articles on all of the teams. Could you write another analysis of the Warriors? Now that they have now imploded for the year, I wonder what you currently make of them and their future. — Jim
As predicted, Baron Davis is the main culprit behind the team's collapse. How many times has he publicly savaged Mike Montgomery's ineptness? And Mike Dunleavy's softness? Even though Davis's criticisms are right on, there's no reason to make them in a public forum — except, of course, to take the heat off himself.
Throughout his career, Davis has been a me-first player who refuses to be restrained by such trivialities as set plays and strategic game plans evolved by his coaches. Are there any other suckers out there who will make a deal for Davis?
That said, what else do the Warriors need to become respectable? They must get rid of Dunleavy — his father seems to be the only coach who really wants him; so Junior should be traded downs
tate for whatever the market will bear. Chris Mullin deserves blame for locking the less-than-mediocre Adonal Foyle into such an expensive long-term contract. Is he also dealable?
Jason Richardson is a keeper, as is the slow but dependable Derek Fisher. Troy Murphy needs a powerhouse, shot-blocking center to overshadow his own defensive liabilities. Andris Biedrins, Ike Diogu, Monta Ellis and Mickael Pietrus should play maximum minutes for the duration of the season before definitive judgments are formed.
As was also predicted, Montgomery never should have left Stanford. It's past time for the Warriors to ditch Montgomery and bring in an experienced head coach. But, most significantly, the Warriors will be stuck on the treadmill to oblivion as long as Davis is around.

I think Charley's overall assessment of the team is pretty accurate, though I would disagree with placing blame on Baron for the collapse of the team.
Baron didn't cause the collapse, he simply pointed out a few of the flaws with the organization.
He is pretty much right on with everything else...

Do you know what kind of baskets you are going to be getting? You gonna get the Sunking ones like Down Under? I really liked the Neon Green DGA baskets they raffled off at worlds.
The finish on the DU baskets is already starting to chip. Just sayin'...
My problem with circles is that it doesn't limit, enough, the area from which the throw should happen. The Trapezoids are good, in my opinion, because they allow multiple angles to be taken towards the desired launch point and don't make people step off the sides of pads but they also limit the launch point to what the designer has designed. The trapezoids don't have to be very pronounced to make a difference either. Maybe 5' on the front and 6' at the back and 12' long. One other thing that can be really good to save a little bit of money in the budget (so we can use it elsewhere ) is only making the full big sized pads on the bigger holes and the holes that are around 300-350 or less can have a smaller (though still spacious) version since those holes don't require as big of a run up. Just a thought.
If I could shape a tee any way I wanted: 12' trapezoids bigger in the back would be the way to go....

The Monday comments from Dolphins owner Stephen Ross may have been bad news for G.M. Jeff Ireland. But they're apparently good news for coach Joe Philbin.
The changes Ross contemplates for his team will occur with the advice of an independent advisory panel. Ross has identified the first four members of the group: Hall of Fame head coach Don Shula, former Buccaneers and Colts coach Tony Dungy, Hall of Fame Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin, and former Dolphins defensive end/linebacker Jason Taylor.
Ross added in a statement released by the team that coach Joe Philbin and others will be part of the process. Ross also said the project will commence after the season.
That strongly implies that Philbin will be back in 2014.
While that conclusion could be premature given the indepedent investigation to be conducted by Ted Wells, it would be foolish to assume that the Dolphins haven't conducted their own private review of the situation during the past two weeks. By including Philbin within a group that won't even start its work until the 2013 regular season end, Ross essentially has concluded that Philbin will survive this mess.

This coming Monday 14th of March at 6pm is the first in a series of workshops dedicated to game development. Game development can be an exciting and creative hobby, and the with rise of tools like Unity it is now easier than ever for one person to develop and release a game.
What is Unity?
Unity is a integrated 3D engine and authoring tool, designed to make game development as quick and easy as possible. Whereas in the past using similar engines/tools has also meant limiting your game in regards to speed, customisation or graphical prowess, Unity gives you a lot of control and a great modern, and fast, 3D engine.
And of course, Unity is also completely free (even if you sell the game).
Who should attend?
Anyone who has interest in game development.
It is expected that those who attend will have, at least, a basic understanding of a programming language (variables, loops, functions etc.).
What will I learn at the workshop?
The workshop aims to develop in participants a broad understanding of game design and implementation concepts such as game play, physics, sound and 3D graphics.
In this first workshop each participant will be creating a basic game along the lines of Marble Madness. All assets (3d models, textures, sounds etc) will be provided.
This will cover the following topics:
- The Unity Editor Interface
- Setting up a Project & Scene
- Using the Inspector
- Scripting object behaviours using JavaScript*
- Using Physics (PhysX)
- Adding Sound
- Creating the HUD (GUI)
* For simplicity we will using JavaScript during this workshop, however if there is demand I will cover using C# at a later stage. Unity has it's own JavaScript/C# compilers and all scripts are compiled during the build process (not JIT), increasing the speed of the scripts in-game
Where and when is the event being held?
At 091 Labs, 14th March from 6pm to 11pm.
How much does it cost?
The event itself is free, with a suggested donation of €5 to 091 Labs for non-members (to help keep these events going).

After being separated for 24 years, a father and daughter were reunited, only to discover the two had been volunteering at the same exact rescue mission for several months.
Amy Roberson, who was put up for adoption by her birth parents 24 years ago, recently got the courage to call her father Will Russell in hopes of reuniting. "It took a lot for me to make that phone call — I was really nervous, but it was definitely something I felt like I needed to do," said Amy. "I called just to tell him that I was his daughter and hoping to meet him and any siblings I had."
Twenty-four years ago Amy was put up for adoption immediately following her birth. Her father Will says he was not ready for fatherhood at the time, but he always prayed for the day he'd see her again. After returning from a day of volunteering at the Phoenix Rescue Mission, his prayers were answered when he received a call from Amy.

Center for Energy Policy Announces Conference in January, Sept. 23, 2008
by Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 23, 2008 – The New Mexico Center for Energy Policy has announced that it will hold its second conference – this one examining renewable and low-carbon footprint energy issues – in early January in Hobbs.
"New Mexico is an important energy producing state," said Van Romero, Vice President of Research and Economic Development at New Mexico Tech. "By bringing together decisions makers and industry leaders, the Center for Energy Policy will help frame a national discussion about our future. We will provide leadership and expertise in solving the riddle that is the global outlook on energy."
Sen. Jeff Bingaman has been invited to be the featured speaker at the event, which will also address policy issues regarding electricity transmission. Sen. Pete Domenici was the keynote speaker at the Center's inaugural conference in May.
The Center, which is operated by New Mexico Tech in Socorro, was launched in 2007, thanks to a $250,000 appropriation sponsored by State Sen. Carroll Leavell of Lea County. Based in Hobbs, the Center aims to provide a forum for discussion and a clearinghouse for information about global and national energy issues, concerns and policies.
Center Director Dr. Fred Yarger said New Mexico can take a lead national role in developing a clear energy policy. Much of the United States' energy crisis is related to failures in policy, he said.
The conference includes panel discussions with recommendations that are forwarded to state legislative leadership and congressional delegation to help them craft policies based on sound science and innovative thinking, Yarger said.
For instance, producers of renewable energy are encountering difficulties incorporating their electricity into existing power grids. Those problems are directly related to outdated policies that do not include a structure for merging energy from new sources with energy from coal-fired power plants, he said.
Another issue is bringing wind power into the existing power grid, Yarger said. New wind farms in east-central New Mexico, for example, tie into a substation at Tucumcari that does not have the sufficient capacity. This is an example of the policy and engineering issues that must be addressed nationwide for the energy industry, he said.
"It's difficult for the solar and wind energy producers to locate where they can easily attach to the grid," Yarger said. "Part of the coming conference will address infrastructure and transmission capabilities."
The January conference will open dialog about these and many other issues with decision-makers from industry, regulatory agencies, academia and research institutions.

Taylor Swift's feminist doppelganger takes off on Twitter
Taylor Swift is not a feminist. But Clara Beyer is, and she loves Taylor Swift's music and sometimes she wishes Swift would change her twangy tune and be a little more progressive.
On June 11, the Alexandria, Va., native, a rising senior at Brown University, tweeted: "Idea for a single purpose twitter: feminist Taylor Swift."
Ten minutes later, Beyer's friend and classmate Kevin Carty called her to make sure she followed through. So Beyer created a logo -- a picture of Swift's face photoshopped onto Rosie the Riveter's head. (Conveniently, both female icons have the same red head scarf in their wardrobe.) She wrote a bio that played off the one on Taylor Swift's official Twitter page: "Happy. Free. Confused. Oppressed by the patriarchy. At the same time."
Then Beyer and Carty got to work.
"She wears short skirts / I wear T-shirts / Neither of us is asking for it" was the first tweet sent out from the @feministtswift account the afternoon of June 12, and it set the template for what would follow -- some lyrics from a song by the pop superstar (in this case, "You Belong With Me") with an added feminist twist.
There's a reason it had to be Feminist Taylor Swift, not Feminist Beyonce or Feminist Daft Punk. "It says to me that I'm not the only one out there who is feeling this discomfort with Taylor Swift lyrics," Beyer, 21, said in a recent phone interview.
On Thursday morning, @feministtswift had around 20 followers. On Friday, as Beyer continued her sharp satire, the account became an online hit, spreading like gossip through a high school hallway and buoyed by enthusiastic co-signs by Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Salon and more. As the hours passed, the number of followers reached 1,000, 5,000, 10,000. By early Sunday evening, more than 60,000 had clicked "follow" on Beyer's new project.
The account struck a chord, Beyer suspected, largely because of Swift's all-encompassing popularity. "People know Taylor Swift lyrics," Beyer says. "Even if they don't want to, they know them."
The tongue-in-cheek mash-up of feminist theory and Swift's love-struck lyrics was the perfect project for Beyer and Carty, who "both believe in bringing more people into feminism and gender-critical conversations," said Carty, 20. "And the easiest ways to do that are to engage them with things they're already into in their daily lives," such as pop music.
Beyer likes listening to Swift's music but said, as a general rule, "a lot of the songs are either 'I used to have a boy and I was happy, and now I don't and now I'm sad' or 'if I had this boy, I would be happy.' "
Beyer gave a rundown of what she considers some of the worst offenders in Swift's song catalogue. There's "Better Than Revenge," wherein Swift bashes her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend for what Swift perceives to be her promiscuous behavior. In "You Belong With Me," Swift mocks the girl her crush is dating for her outfits and popularity. The most problematic might be "Fifteen," in which Swift laments that her best friend Abigail "gave everything she had to a boy." "Everything," for those of you playing along at home, isn't Abigail's intellect, courage, integrity or compassion.
Swift, now 23, has become something of a polarizing figure as she shifts from teen country phenom to world-famous pop star. There's the pro-Swift camp, made up primarily of young girls and the parents who are relieved their daughters have selected such a "good role model" to idolize: a talented woman whose face is far more likely to be seen in one of her many advertisements for Target or CoverGirl than in a mug shot.
On the other side are those who find some unsettling themes in Swift's songs and question whether she's such a great role model after all -- whether she's someone who perpetuates the belief that there's only one way to be a "good girl": to be passive and "pure," to wait patiently in the tower for a prince instead of being her own hero.
Swift has done her best to kept her distance from all things feminist. In October, when asked by the Daily Beast whether she considers herself a feminist, Swift replied, "I don't really think about things as guys versus girls."
Beyer, sounding a bit exasperated, said to this, "I think not seeing things as boys versus girls is feminist."
"There was definitely a time when I wouldn't have considered myself a feminist," Beyer adds. "But I've totally changed my mind on that. I'll identify as a feminist any day."
Now Beyer, who is interning this summer at online college women's magazine Her Campus, writes a blog, That Girl Magazine, which aims to balance rejecting stereotypical gender norms with "recommending an awesome new lipstain." Feminism and femininity: not mutually exclusive!
Carty, like Beyer, found feminism in college. He grew up in Kensington, Md., and attended the all-male Gonzaga College High School in Washington. "All the worst sides of men come out in all-male groups," Carty said. "So that means I'd seen a lot of homophobia, a lot of sexism, a lot of aggression and bullying and a need for hypermasculine validation."
During his freshman year at Brown, one of his female friends was drugged, beaten and raped at a party. He embraced feminism after the attack, finding that the movement "helped me to understand a lot of things that shaped my life."
Carty is in a fraternity and says that while his passion makes some other guys "raise their eyebrows," he's "never had a problem identifying as a feminist. . . . It's just made me happier."
Beyer said she jokes with her friends that "I wish Taylor Swift would just have a big feminist enlightenment moment in her life. I could listen to her songs and feel so much more secure about what I was endorsing."
Swift "could be a poster child for feminism, if she wanted to," Beyer said. "She could take everything she's doing and say: 'I'm a woman who is in charge of her life. I don't let men in my life push me around.' "
There has been no word from Swift's camp about her new feminist doppelganger. She hasn't always shown the thickest skin. When asked by Vanity Fair this year about a jab that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey made at her expense while hosting the Golden Globes, Swift quoted Madeleine Albright by way of Katie Couric: "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."
"I can take a joke," Beyer said. "Can Taylor? I don't know. We'll see."

Mushroom Fried Rice with Pickled Ginger Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine
- 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 4 eggs, cracked into a bowl, beaten lightly
- 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 6 cups leftover white rice (break up any clumps with your fingers)
- 2 scallions, ends trimmed, green parts thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 1/2 cup pickled ginger, chopped
Whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of the canola oil in a large wok over high heat until smoking. Swirl the oil around to cover the bottom, and pour in the eggs. Stir-fry until eggs are cooked, breaking them up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Transfer eggs to a bowl and further break into 1/2-inch pieces. Wipe out wok.
Return wok to high heat and add another tablespoon oil. Heat until smoking. Swirl the oil around to cover the bottom, and add as many of the mushrooms as will fit in one layer, approximately half. Stir-fry until tender, but before they become too soft, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with the eggs, and repeat with remaining mushrooms. Wipe out wok.
Return wok to high heat and add remaining tablespoon oil. Heat until smoking. Swirl the oil around to cover the bottom, and add the carrots. Cook until they turn bright orange, about 30 seconds. Add the rice, and stir-fry until very hot, making sure none sticks on the bottom of the wok. Add the cooked eggs and mushrooms, along with the frozen peas. Stir-fry until everything is warm. Pour in the sauce, and stir-fry until the rice is evenly coated, and no remaining sauce is left. Turn off the heat and stir in half the scallions.
Divide the fried rice between four plates. Top with a generous helping of pickled ginger, along with some extra scallions if you'd like. Serve immediately.

I cooked a soup this past weekend (soup season has begun, so I've declared). Butternut squash, corn, butter beans, cream. Something of a chowder, with gentle bay and thyme to give it more flavor. It was supposed to be my blog post, but it was brutally ugly. Fairly tasty, but in need of a good food plastic surgeon to bring some beauty to that bowl.
The innocuous "What's for dinner tonight?" question on Monday was a loaded one. The weekend is for food blog time, week nights for survival. But I declared to Mr A&N that Monday night's dinner (lamb chops in the fridge) would have to be blog-worthy as I had nothing to post about this week.
"Leave it to me" Mr. A&N declared. "I'll put something together."
The 5pm phone call to tell me he was leaving work early began not with a hello but with a declaration I wouldn't have guessed had I been given 100 chances. "Vietnamese", Mr A&N stated. "It's more traditional with pork chops but I think it will work. I'm picking up a lime and some noodles, but I'll be home to help with Baby A&N's feeding and bedtime and then cook dinner."
He was of course as good as his word. Got home, set the marinade for the lamb going, pulled funny faces during Baby A&N's dinner and then played with him in the bath. Gave him his milk, bundled this very sleepy baby into bed, came downstairs and cooked me a wonderful meal. The noodles were treated to the marinade the lamb had been sitting in, and I stole irresistable mouthfuls from the wok as I set the camera up. The marinade had created very succulent chops thanks to the lime, with the slight sweetness to it melding seemlessly, and beautifully, with the chilli and soy flavors bringing up the rear. The Vietnamese know what they're doing with flavors, and so did Mr A&N when he put this together.
Mr A&N and I had a discussion in the car this past weekend, after seeing some friends. "Why do you always tell stories when I'm the butt of the joke? Why do you tell people about when I mean to say or do something nice but it comes out wrong and seems like an insult instead? Why don't you ever tell the good stuff, like how I make you dinner and help around the house and get up in the middle of the night to deal with Baby A&N?"
"Because those stories are funny. You like being funny. If there's one thing I know about you it's that."
"I like being funny," he admitted "but when it's me being funny, rather than me being insensitive. I'd like to be seen as the good guy sometimes."
"You're right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You are the good guy. You're the great guy. I promise to do better. I'm sorry."
"Okay." he said. "Thanks."
"I promise." I said. "I promise to do better. And I promise I'll only tell those stories when I'm guaranteed a really big laugh."
He accepted his victory with customary grace.
Vietnamese Lamb and Noodles
Serves 3 eating averagely, 2 greedily, 4 modestly
- 6-8 lamb good lamb chops
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small chilli (more if you like it hot), chopped
- thumb of ginger, well chopped
- 1 stalk or 2tsp lemon grass paste
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 limes, juiced
- chinese egg noodles, enough for the number of people you're serving
- 2 stir fry veg nicely chopped - like carrot and broccoli, eggplant and zucchini, etc
- 1 Tbsp seasame oil
- 1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- handful of chopped coriander
- Combine the marinade ingredients (the garlic, chilli, ginger, lemon grass, sugar, soy sauce, and lime), mixing until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the marinade in a flat casserole dish that's just big enough to hold the lamb. Layer the lamb on top and let marinate for at least a half an hour (or over night, if you're very prepared), then turn the chops over and give that side of the chops as much time to marinate.
- Turn the grill on to 180C / 375 F. When ready, lay the lamb out under the grill and cook for 4-8 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the chops. (This will give you chops that stay nice and pink in the middle; if you don't like pink, add a couple of minutes more to the cook time). Make sure you keep the marinade left over.
- Meanwhile, boil water for the egg noodles. When boiled, add noodles and cook according to manufacturers instructions.
- Heat a wok on a high heat. Add the oil and give it a short while to heat up.
- When the oil is hot, add the vegetables and stir fry for a couple of minutes.
- When the vegetables are softening slightly (only slightly), pour in the remaining marinade.
- After the garlic in the marinade is a bit softened, add the cooked noodles and give a minute or two worth of stirring.
- Serve with the cooked lamb chops on top of the noodles, with a bit of chopped coriander for garnish.

Lions issue statements on Art Modell's death
Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell died today (Thursday) at the age of 87. Here are thoughts from the Detroit Lions:
— Lions president Tom Lewand: "On behalf of the Ford Family and the entire Detroit Lions organization, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to David, John and the entire Modell family.
"Our game is what it is today in large part due to the exemplary ownership and leadership of Art Modell.
"His work over the years with our first-ever collective bargaining agreement, numerous network TV contracts and the 1970 NFL-AFL merger helped propel the NFL to unimagined heights of popularity.
"We all are forever indebted to him."
— Lions owner William Clay Ford Sr.: "On behalf of my wife Martha, our entire family and the Lions organization, I want to extend our deepest sympathies to David and John and everyone who knew and loved Art.
"Art was a great personal friend, and we shared many wonderful times together over the years. The game of football lost one of its' all-time greats today. Art's contributions to the NFL during his five decades in the game are immeasurable. I believe that Art did as much as any owner to help make the NFL what it is today. Art was a pioneer, a visionary and a selfless owner who always saw the big picture and did the right thing. Our game would not be what it is today if it weren't for Art Modell."
— Lions senior personnel executive James Harris who was former NFL quarterback and Ravens director of pro personnel:
"First thing that comes to my mind are the contributions Art made to the NFL: his teams, to television, to naming Ozzie (Newsome) as general manager. He was a pioneer. Working with him, you got to see what a great person he was. He cared about all of us – players, coaches, scouts, everyone in the front office. Genuine is a word I would use to describe Art. He was a special, special man. And, it's a shame he is not in the Hall of Fame. He belongs there, and a lot of us know that."
