*Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 01 September 2018 all new cars are approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. You can find more information on WLTP at www.porsche.com/wltp. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. Fuel economy and CO₂ emission figures are only intended as a means of comparing different types of vehicles tested under the same test cycle. New WLTP homologated vehicles are therefore not directly comparable with any vehicles tested under NEDC. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel consumption and CO₂ values. Additionally, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions of a car.

A pair of grant announcements this week have added up to nearly $100,000 in much-needed cash for Colorado artists and nonprofits.
On Monday, the Los Angeles-based arts advocacy organization United States Artists released its latest round of USA Fellowship grants, including Boulder dancer Michelle Ellsworth. The organization's sixth round of grants — 50 in all totaling $2.5 million — included $50,000 for Ellsworth, who has performed at and received commissions from companies in Colorado, New York, Washington, Texas and Florida.
As a USA Knight Fellow she was recognized for her innovative approach to dance and multimedia art, having created websites, films and cartoons that cast the art form in a new light. Ellsworth is a professor and co-director at CU-Boulder's theater and dance program.
In addition, National Endowment for the Arts chairman Rocco Landesman on Tuesday announced the recipients of $1.62 million in Challenge America grants, including four Colorado organizations receiving $10,000 each.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- Diversified Health and Fitness recently announced the acquisition of American Bodyworks.
American Bodyworks has 22 locations, most of which are in the Southeast, with nine more in development. Its offices are in Marietta, GA.
"Diversified Health and Fitness is a great match for us in terms of an acquisition partner," Robert Parrish, president of American Bodyworks, said in a statement. "The move will bring together a portfolio of large, coed clubs built on a great concept with the operational expertise of a team that has developed and sold over 1,000 clubs nationwide."
Diversified Health, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and founded in 2007, also owns clubs such as Butterfly Life, 1-2-3 Fit and Shape Xpress. The acquisition of American Bodyworks expands the company's portfolio to more than 200 clubs.
"The American Bodyworks brand is solid," Diversified CEO Roger Wittenberns said in a statement. "The 10,000-square-foot-plus, coed model is a concept that allows for stability, growth and consistent cash flow. We commend the founders of American Bodyworks on their success in our industry, and we look forward to taking their concept to the next level."
Meanwhile, two clubs owned by Diversified Health in the Denver area recently closed.
Rejuvenate in Wheat Ridge, CO, closed in October, according to a report by Denver's NBC TV affiliate, 9News. Members were told their memberships could transfer to FitZone for Women in nearby Broomfield, CO, but that club, too, has since closed.
The women interviewed by the TV station say it has been two months since they have sent a written request to National Fitness Financial, Diversified's billing company, to cancel their memberships and refund their money, yet their requests have not yet been granted.
The TV station contacted Diversified Health and National Fitness Financial last month. Both companies told the station that member accounts would be cancelled upon request, and refunds would be granted to members.

I am starting this thread to talk about underrated/unknown gems of performances.
To start with :
Tendulkar's least-talked about masterpiece
West Indies Vs India
3rd Test Match
Calcutta (Kolkota)
Oct-Nov 2002
India batted first and scored 358 runs on a typical Indian track, thanks to small individual contributions throughout, although none of them scored a 50. West Indies responded to this in spectacular fashion scoring 497 with three of their batsmen scoring centuries. India facing a deficit of 139 runs, started poorly losing 2 wickets for just 11 runs when Tendulkar walked in. It became worse and India stared at defeat when the score read 87-4, still 42 runs behind. Laxman joined Tendulkar at this crucial juncture.
What followed was a chalk and cheese counter attack. Tendulkar was sublime yet aggressive, while Laxman played a watch-the-paint-dry innings. Both of them were involved in a partnership of 211 runs out of which Tendulkar accounted for a majority chunk. In fact, when Tendulkar was dismissed for 176 crucial runs, he had accounted for a whopping 58% of the then Indian total of 301, despite coming at 2 down. He also scored these runs at a good SR of 60 on a last day pitch. Laxman ensured that his good work did not go down the drains, and with the help of tailend batsmen, India salvaged a draw by scoring 471-8 wickets and thus ensured they won the series 2-0.

Post-game Press Conference Video
CARY, N.C. – The left arm of junior Jason Nicholas (Wright City, Mo.) combined with the timely hitting of sophomore Benton Yaun (Marietta, Ga.) kept No. 4 Georgia College & State University baseball (40-16) alive in the Division II College World Series with a 2-1 win over No. 2 University of Tampa (46-11) Monday.
The Bobcats advance through to the next round of play, facing the loser of tonight's UC-San Diego and University of Central Missouri contest Wednesday, May 26 at 3 p.m. in another elimination game at the USA Baseball Training Complex's Coleman Field.
"There's a number four next to our name," said GCSU head coach Tom Carty of battling through a tough loser's bracket. "It's there for a reason. We think we've got the kind of ballclub that can beat anyone on any given day, we just need to play up to that potential."
Nicholas (7-2) tossed an absolute gem surrendering just one unearned run in eight innings, walking two and allowing seven hits while fanning six. The junior battled out of a sticky situation in the fourth, when tied 1-1 the Spartans had runners on second and third with none out. Nicholas struck out the first batter, got the second on a shallow fly to right and ended the inning on a fly to left.
"I just knew I needed to relax," said Nicholas of escaping the jam in the fourth. "Just work the hitters and use my stuff to get out of trouble."
Yaun attributed for all Georgia College RBI today, first in the second ripping a two-out double to right center to plate Richard Pirkle (Norcross, Ga.) who had walked with two out. Then in the fourth, he put the Bobcats ahead for the second and final time with a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Steve Muoio (Rochester, N.Y.) who had also walked.
Nicholas threw 115 pitches over eight innings and gave way to senior lefty Ryan Tabor (Lawrenceville, Ga.) in the ninth. Tabor hadn't pitched since May 8 and after a leadoff single he shook off the rust, setting the remaining three down in order to end the game. Tabor picked up his team-high fourth save. Nicholas has a 22-inning streak without an earned run, dating back to a home run against Armstrong Atlantic State University May 1.
Yaun finished 1-for-3 with the two RBI, while rightfielder Shawn Ward (Martinez, Ga.) had two hits in four trips.
Tampa starter Josh Bowman fell to 8-5 with the 6 1/3 innings of work, allowing just the two runs and striking out eight. Spartan designated hitter Mike Schwartz was 2-for-4 with an RBI single, while shortstop Patrick Donahue finished 3-for-4.
The win gives head coach Carty his first 40-win season, and the seventh 40-win season in the NCAA era of baseball at Georgia College.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at Twitter.com username GCSUSID for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Each month here on ProvencePost, Gardening Guru James Clay dishes up great advice about two of his favorite subjects: gardening and drinking. This monthhe's all excited about datura--an amazing white shrub for the terrace--and one of his all-time favorite boissons, the classic margarita. "If the cocktail doesn't blow your house guests away," James reports, "then the plant most certainly will!"
(*Note to houseguests: Yes, datura is poisonous and yes, James makes a lethal margarita. But here James means blow you away in the 'you'll be delighted and amazed' sense...not in the 'what, you're leaving so soon?' sense or the 'oh dear, I've killed the houseguests again!' sense.*) Anyway, here he is...
It's fitting that the Romans brought so much to Provence that even the month of July was named, by Mark Anthony, in honor of Julius Caesar. I also note from my intense research (lasting all of eight minutes) that St. Julian is the Patron Saint of Travelers and Hospitality—something that we who live in Provence know a lot about. Well, we certainly know about the 'hospitality' side of things. If, like me, you have house guests coming and going, here are two items that I feel they should share with you during this month. They'll love both.
As you have to admire the datura plant with a margarita in hand I suggest that you pop down to you local pépinière (nursery). The shrub (evergreen to semi-evergreen) I have in mind is really amazing, commonly named "Angels Trumpet" (not that I'm in a hurry to hear one of those). It's also known as datura and for those who are fluent in Latin (and who isn't these days?), it's the Brugmansia solanaceae. The specific variety I recommend, because it's hardy (meaning it's tough and will come back next year like certain house guests), is suaveolens. It's white, with hanging trumpet flowers (15-20cms/6-8 inches) that are very heavily scented and open only as the evening commences. In fact, usually at the cocktail hour! By morning they're wilting but a new crop is always there for the first drink of the evening. Bees go crazy attempting to get into them as the flowers quickly open, so quickly that you can almost watch it happening if you have a mind to give them your attention for half an hour or so.
As we all know, beauty generally comes with some cost and in this case, it's that the datura is rather poisonous, particularly the seeds. In fact, the whole thing could kill you if you ate it but then again it wouldn't be on my list of favourite things to eat.
It's not advised to plant datura if you have small children around or perhaps it's ideal if you don't want any around. I'll leave that up to you to decide.
Great--so far so good. You've found the datura and now you have to plant it up. It wants full sun and protection from the wind, as would you if, like this shrub, you were native to South America. The terrace is therefore a great place to plant it (plus, this allows you to view it from your lounger, which makes it almost ideal).
Datura can get quite big, up to two meters or more, so give it some space. I don't recommend planting this variety in a pot. Once it's up and running (not a gardening term I've ever heard but, hey, you get what I mean), water it well but only once a week. If you see it flagging when the weather gets super hot, water it some more.
Speaking of flagging and all that shopping and 'planting up' your fantastic new tropical shrub, it's getting close to cocktail hour. On your way home from the garden center, you should swing by the store and pick up the following: one bottle of Tequila (Silver or Gold), one bottle of Cointreau (or Triple Sec) and at least a dozen fresh limes to make juice. Use Pulco Citron Vert if you can't find fresh limes.
Yep, you've now got the ingredients for the Classic Margarita. Here's the low down: three, two, one. (Math was not my favorite subject at school but those proportions you just can't forget!) Here's the recipe.
Three measures of tequila (ever noticed how close that word sounds to 'to kill yer'--I'll let you mull that one over); two measures of Cointreau ; and 1 measure of fresh lime juice (if using Pulco Citron Vert, make the proportion a half measure as it's a concentrate). You have to have loads of ice: that way it lasts even longer and the melting ice will take some of the power out of what otherwise, even standing up, can become a major event. Crushed is best so either you have a fancy machine or you put the ice in a bag and smash it against something hard (preferably not your partner).
Now you're all set. Wet the rim of a cocktail glass and lightly dip it into a plate of salt--the salt provides a nice sour/sweet contrast and has the effect of making you drink even more! Make up a pitcher-full; that way you won't have to stagger back to the kitchen to make more.
Cocktail gardening is not quite as ridiculous as it may sound, particularly in July when the opportunities for actually planting are few. The 'cocktail hour' is also the perfect watering time for the pots on your terrace; at the end of the day, in the cool of the evening—and just like us--they too enjoy a good drink. I recommend that you water them very well every two to three days and not lightly every day…you will soon notice a difference. Enjoy July! It is, after-all, high summer and time to relax.

1) Begin by manually pumping
to determine the speed, suction and rhythm. The Let-down Massage Cushion™ works quickly and naturally
2) The One-Touch Memory Control automates
your pumping rhythm. Even the let-down phase can be automated at any time
3) The electronic memory learns and continues
your gentle touch. Avent ISIS iQ breast pump works gently and effectively to express milk from breasts. (Isis iQ Duo shown left)
Stopping the pump and reverting back to manual control to begin a new pumping rhythm can be done by pressing the One-Touch memory Control again.
Avent Anti-Colic Nipple
The patented Avent Anti-Colic Nipple has an anti-vacuum skirt with a one-way air valve that reduces the incidents of painful gas and colic. The valve opens and closes with baby's natural suckling rhythm, preventing a vacuum from forming inside the bottle so liquid, not air, flows through the nipple. Less air means less discomfort for baby.
The natural shape and feel of the soft, silicone nipple closely resembles the breast, so your baby latches on and suckles just like breastfeeding. This natural shape makes it easier for you to combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and continue breastfeeding for as long as you choose.
Avent Natural Feeding Bottles
The Avent Natural Feeding Bottle gives you the versatility to combine breastfeeding and bottle feeding, while providing anti-colic benefits.
The Avent Natural Feeding Bottle is doctor-recommended and the only bottle that has been clinically shown to reduce colic. The Natural Feeding Bottle features the Avent Anti-Colic Nipple: a soft, naturally shaped nipple with a unique anti-vacuum skirt and one-way air valve. This patented design ensures that liquid, not air, flows through the nipple. Less air means less discomfort for baby. Since the anti-colic feature is built right into the nipple, there are no extra parts to assemble and clean.
The soft, natural shape of the nipple encourages your baby to latch on and suckle in the same way as breastfeeding. Plus, the Avent Anti-Colic Nipple so closely resembles the natural shape of the breast, your baby can easily alternate between breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
As your baby grows, be sure to change the nipple flow rate to allow liquid to flow through faster or use the Variable Flow Nipple for thicker feeds.
Avent VIA Disposable Base Refills
Use VIA Disposable Base Refills as replacements for the bases included in VIA Kits. VIA Disposable Bases are sterile-packed for immediate use and are ideal for on-the-go feeding and storing. VIA bases can be packed easily and are affordable enough to throw away. Or, you can re-sterilize the base to use up to three times. Keep the adaptors and lids included in VIA Kits to use with VIA Disposable Base Refills.
Since the recyclable VIA bases are designed to be disposable, they are most effective when used no more than three times. VIA Disposable Bases are also writable, so you can keep track of usage, record the date, or personalize with your baby's name.

I'd like to propose the following option to the current GR process. As I will (starting late sunday PDT) be away for a week and a few days at Burning Man,[i] I will be unable to appropriately respond to corrections and suggested amendments during that time. However, I will do so immediately at my return. ====================================================================== The Free Software movement is about enabling users to modify the works that they use on their computer; about giving users the same information that copyright holders and upstream developers have. As such, a critical part of the Free Software movement is the availability of source (that is, the form of the work that a copyright holder or developer would use to actually modify the work) to users. This makes sure that users are not held hostage by the whims (or lack of interest or financial incentive) of upstreams and copyright holders. Different types of works have different forms of source. For some works, the preferred form for modification may not actually be digitally transferable.[1] For others, the form that originally was preferred may have been destroyed at some point in time, and is no longer available to anyone. However, to the greatest extent possible,[2] the availability of source code to users is a critical aspect of having the freedom to modify the software that is running upon ones computer. Recognizing this, the Debian Project: A. Reaffirms that programmatic works distributed in the Debian system (IE, in main) must be 100% Free Software, regardless of whether the work is designed to run on the CPU, a subsidiary processing unit, or by some other form of execution. That is, works must include the form that the copyright holder or upstream developer would actually use for modification. B. Strongly recommends that all non-programmatic works distribute the form that the copyright holder or upstream developer would actually use for modification. Such forms need not be distributed in the orig.tar.gz (unless required by license) but should be made available on upstream websites and/or using Debian project resources. C. Reaffirms its continued support of users whose hardware (or software) requires works which are not freely licensed or whose source is not available by making such works available in non-free and providing project resources to the extent that Debian is capable of doing so. D. Requests that vendors of hardware, even those whose firmware is not loaded by the operating system, provide the prefered form for modification so that purchasers of their hardware are can exercise their freedom to modify the functioning of their hardware. 1: Consider film negatives, or magnetic tape in the case of audio recordings. 2: Here it must be emphasized that we refer to "technically possible" or "possible for some party" as opposed to "legally possible for Debian". We also assume digital distribution, and do not attempt to require the distribution of physical objects. ======================================================================= Obvious points for discussion: 1. I would really like to be able to commit to some form of installation support for users who need to be able to use non-free firmware to install their system; some more work is needed in d-i land, though to make sure that this is separated out and that it's trivial to have a Free system, and know that what you're installing/using/distributing is Free Software. 2. Distributing the huge source forms for non-programmatic works is going to be a problem. I don't think they're needed in the orig.tar.gz, because that would needlessly bloat the archive, and it's probably not required unless the works are copylefted. However, we should make an effort to encourage upstreams to make them available and likewise make them available to our users. [Even if it's just in people.debian.org/~you/ or similar and mentioned in the copyright file, it'd be a good step.] 3. If there is substantial objection to D, I will probably remove it; however firmware, whether we happen to distribute it or not, is a hazard to user's freedom to modify the functioning of their computers. 4. Finally, if in the context of the release of etch, we need to compromise our ideals and accept programmatic works without source, we should do so by specifically exempting them from DFSG 2 for the purpose of releasing etch by a GR which needs to meet the 3:1 requirement instead of attempting to define ourselves into such a position, especially when source code is clearly a desirable thing to have from our users and our perspective. Don Armstrong i: At Big Time; usually somewhere around 9:30 and Hope (outer ring) with multiple domes (big-ish to small) and a few mobile domes as well in case someone wants to find me. ;-) -- "There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself." -- Bach http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu

Judy Crichton
National Humanities Medal
"History is filled with magnificent stories," says television producer Judy Crichton. "Some of the most exciting stories anyone has ever read are in history books."
She has proved her point in more than a hundred films over the years, from Andrew Carnegie: The Richest Man in the World, to The Donner Party, and Lindbergh. As the founding producer of the PBS series The American Experience from 1987 to 1996, Crichton gave new shape to the documentary by combining visual elements with a dose of historical content, worked out in a collaboration between filmmakers and scholars. She and The American Experience won The George Foster Peabody Award four times, The Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia Journalism Award twice, and the Emmy seven times.
Crichton started her career as a clerk for a newspaper at age sixteen. She moved to television and worked on game shows, and in 1974 became the first woman writer and producer for CBS Reports. In 1981 she became a producer and writer for ABC's Closeup documentary unit.
Crichton remembers the standards of those early days. As she tells it, when she first began working for CBS Reports, she undertook a story only to find it "too flimsy." She approached the executive producer with apprehension and told him she thought
the story should be dropped. Without blinking an eye, he agreed, "You are being paid to drop stories, to lie on the couch, and to read and learn." Later, in public television at WGBS, she would tell her staff the same thing: "You are paid to study."
Crichton laments the fact that this attitude no longer prevails in commercial television. She told NEH Chairman William R. Ferris, "Among the things I am most proud of is working on projects that had enough time to achieve a piece of work in a thoughtful
way. Television underwritten by the Endowment sets an academic standard that allows us to reach for a level of work not possible in the commercial world, especially in television."
Crichton left The American Experience in the mid-nineties, but continues to serve as executive consultant on the series. Most recently she acted as executive director of the NEH-funded documentary New York.

In the immortal words of Limp Bizkit: "Give me something to break."
Because you know, somedays you just don't wake up, and that's why Moscow resident Alexei Barinskiy started a business that let's you break stuff.
For a fee, Barinskiy will allow you to enter Debosh ("Debauch" in English), a service that allows customers to enter a space where they can break whatever they want for as low as $140.
Fans of the cult Adult Swim series Delocated surely remember this from that episode where Jon develops a business, "Rage Cage," which is "way more relaxing than yoga." Barinskiy does not cite this as an influence, which is a shame.
Developed when Barinskiy had the common problem of hating his co-worker and having a lot of junk to give away, he rented out an industrial space and turned it into a garage sale for charity. But what to do with the leftover stuff?
Barinskiy decided to let people just destroy it. For $140, Barinskiy will fill up a room with junk and let people destroy it. You can even customize the design of the room.
"The cost depends on how elaborately the room is designed," writes The Washington Post. "A popular choice is a replica of the office where the customers work."
The Washington Post even reports that Barinskiy even built a room specifically so the reporter could take out some frustration over the presidential election.
It was a replica of a polling place, complete with a ballot box and red-white-and-blue posters marked with slogans used by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. With Moscow so interested in the election result that the Obama administration accused the Kremlin of meddling in the vote, Russians were bombarded with often-skewed coverage of the campaign by the state-run media.
"We enjoyed the American election," Barinskiy said as he and an employee, Alan Tigiev, lifted their sledgehammers menacingly. "Maybe too much."
We all did.

Drive-By Truckers Survey 'Made Up English Oceans' (Premiere)
After an uncharacteristically long pause, the Drive-By Truckers return in March with "English Oceans," their first new LP since "Go-Go Boots" in 2011. Also uncharacteristic is the fact that singer Mike Cooley, never the most prolific of the band's primary songwriters, wrote six of 13 tunes on the album, including "Made Up English Oceans." Speakeasy today premieres a stream of the song, and a video of the Alabama group performing a stripped-down acoustic version in Birmingham inside the gutted Lyric Theatre, which is under renovation.
"As it is, it's like a time capsule offering an example of the beauty of a bygone era, and the ugliness of the segregated society it was part of," Cooley told Speakeasy. "I thought it made a perfect setting for a song about how using beliefs, fears and prejudices to acquire power still works as well as ever."
"Made Up English Oceans" is one of the starker songs on the album, which also features seven tunes by Cooley's bandmate, singer and guitarist Patterson Hood. Hear the song, and watch the video, after the jump.

US v Europe - a cultural gap on the right to be forgotten
The reverberations from this week's landmark European Court of Justice ruling on the right to be forgotten continue to be felt.
Legions of lawyers are still trying to work out what it will mean for the search engines, and for millions of EU citizens who may want to force them to remove links to their past online lives. And the cultural divide between Europe and the US appears wider than ever, with two very different views of how we should live our lives online.
On the one hand there is what you might call the web utopian view, held by the US internet giants and some in Europe who look to Silicon Valley for inspiration. This sees the ECJ ruling as unworkable, illiberal and just out of touch.
The Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, who divides his time between London and the US, explains to me why something like it could never happen across the Atlantic because of the constitutional guarantee of free speech: "This is not a debate the United States is even capable of entering into. You'd have to repeal the First Amendment - and that's like a religious artefact - so that's never going to happen."
He tells me this is not necessarily a new cultural gap but one that is being made evident for the first time. "In the past if you were in Germany you were never worried that some encyclopedia website based in the United States was going to name you as a murderer after you got out of jail because that was inconceivable. Today that can happen, so the cultural gap that was always there about the regulation of speech is becoming more visible."
But in Europe many politicians and regulators and some - though by no means all - privacy campaigners have welcomed the ruling. Mr Wales' point about local laws - which used to mean old convictions simply disappeared from the record after a certain time - is one of the reasons for that support.
Europeans who have been told that the internet is basically ungovernable - and if it does have guiding principles then they come from the land of the free - are expressing some satisfaction that court has refused to believe that.
Max Mosley, who has fought privacy battles with tabloid newspapers and Google over pictures of a sadomasochistic orgy, expresses particular satisfaction that the European Court decided the search firm was subject to local laws. When I talked to him as he emerged from a radio studio he was also exercised about the rehabilitation of offenders: "A principle accepted in most civilised countries. The internet shouldn't regurgitate things for ever."
And he refuses to accept the idea that the online world just cannot be regulated. "The internet is so new that the law hasn't caught up with it but eventually it'll be regulated like every other aspect of society and that's quite right."
So a battle between two views of freedom - the US belief that free speech trumps everything, and the European view that individuals should have some control over what the world knows about them. But there is something else in play here, a growing unease about the power wielded by what are nearly always US web giants over our lives.
Google, Facebook, Twitter and other firms that store and use vast banks of data about Europeans have all sought to deny responsibility for how people use and share that information. They also maintain that they are not media firms - which in Europe face strict regulation - but mere technology platforms enabling better communication. In Google's case that stance has come to bite it.
Media firms like the Spanish newspaper site at the heart of this test case, haven't been told to remove content. It is the "data controllers" - the search engines - which are in the court's sights.
Now there are obvious questions about the practicality of getting Google to decide which of billions of links to millions of European names should or should not be removed. The temptation for the company will be to automatically agree to all requests, rather than to set up a vast quasi-judicial bureaucracy to decide what is justified and what is not, and that could have a chilling effect on free expression.
But European web users, who have been told for so long that companies based in Silicon Valley cannot be told what to do in the UK or France or Germany, may feel a smidgen of satisfaction about the howls of outrage coming from across the Atlantic.

One question I get asked an awful lot is how to start a whiskey club or society – a place where people with a common passion can get together a number of times a year and enjoy great whiskey (and great company). While some of it might be pretty logical, I have yet to start a club myself. After receiving a rash of emails a few weeks back I thought I'd go straight to the source – someone that's started a thriving whiskey club from the ground up.
About 18 months or so ago I met Vince Carida online through comments on this site as well as other whiskey sites across the internet. In April of 2011 I was in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency for WhiskeyFest – Chicago. A few hours after arriving and checking in, I hopped on a elevator on my way to the lobby to grab a drink when this guy said, "Hey Jason!" I looked up and got my first face to face introduction to Vince. Since that time I've been able to meet up with Vince a time or two, and have gotten to know him better.
Here's the thing about Vince's whiskey club, the Owensboro Bourbon Society – it's really really well done. He's engaging, very knowledgeable, and his club is very focused on one category of whiskey. Below Vince has been so gracious as to post about starting OBS, and all the things that went into making that club a success.
Establishing a Bourbon Society
Kentucky is known for three things; fast horses, beautiful women and great whiskey! I was fortunate to move to Owensboro, KY 4 years ago (from New Jersey) for the love of a beautiful woman (my wife is from Owensboro). I have always been a bourbon enthusiast but I don't think I was prepared for the expanded options of bourbon made available to me in the "motherland".
I fell in love with Kentucky and the history and heritage associated with this uniquely American product. I soon wanted to know everything about bourbon, how it was made, what impacts flavor, the history of each distillery and also the history of bourbon in the town in which I lived. I purchased every book I could find, joined great websites like this one and bourbonenthusiast.com and visited every distillery multiple times. The deeper I delved into this subject the more fascinating it became. It is rare when a particular process has both a scientific and an artistic element to it, but that is exactly what the making of whiskey provides.
As my journey continued I found one thing missing, and that was other bourbon enthusiasts to share my passion with. I also realized that most people in Kentucky knew they liked bourbon but knew little else about the history and process involved in producing it. That is when I decided to form the Owensboro Bourbon Society.
I had formed a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in 2010 called "RiverCreek Distillery". It is still a dream of mine to produce bourbon and if that dream comes to reality the bourbon will be called RiverCreek. I then formed a "Doing business as" (DBA) under the LLC and named it the Owensboro Bourbon Society. I really did not know what to expect with this Society. Was it going to be 5 or 6 people getting together every month to try different bourbons? That would have been fine but my goal was a little more far reaching. I wanted to engage a community while achieving my desired result of meeting bourbon enthusiasts.
There is an old saying that if you want to "talk the talk" you better be able to "walk the walk". I wanted my Bourbon Society to be a "brand" and a quality one at that. I had a logo designed and then I purchased high quality letterhead and business cards. I also hired a web developer to develop a web site for me. (Please feel free to check out owensborobourbonsociety.com). I also called Mike Veach of the Filson Historical Society. Mike is the foremost bourbon historian in the world and also established the Bourbon Society in Louisville. Mike provided great insight into not only the things he found successful but also pitfalls to avoid.
So, now I have a web site, some nice letterhead, an LLC. All I need now are members!
What should be the membership fee and what would a member receive when they joined? I called a woman in town who designs shirts and I got a price on making an Owensboro Bourbon Society polo shirt or Button down shirt. I then priced out the cost of having an engraved OBS Glencairn glass. I then concluded that every member would get a membership card which would provide value in one way or another. I set the initial membership fee at $75 for the first year and then $50 in subsequent years. I went to a Liquor store in town (where I buy a lot of bourbon) and asked if they would provide a discount to my members. They agreed to discount the bourbons we would be featuring at our monthly meeting. I then went to a great bourbon bar, Spirits at the Miller House, and they quickly joined my society and offered my membership a 10% discount on bourbon flights.
Now I had value to provide and a price to join. Next obstacles were where would the meetings take place? when would the meetings take place?, what would the format for the meetings be? My goal was to always provide a historical perspective to each meeting, and always taste bourbon. Beyond that was the great unknown. Would I be able to get guest speakers? Owensboro is 2-3 hours away from the big distilleries.
I decided that we would meet once a month and it would always be the third Wednesday of every month. That would allow members to schedule events appropriately. I was able to secure two locations for the meetings, the Medley Distillery (which is silent but still hosts weddings, etc) and The Miller House, a restaurant with a second floor that could be reserved for my meetings.
I went to J's Liquors and asked if they would send an e-mail out to their "wine tasting" mailing list and advise them that I was starting a Bourbon Society. If anyone wanted additional information they could contact me. I had about 10 people contact me. I then sent a letter to every master distiller outlining the charter of the Owensboro Bourbon Society and asked each if they would consider being a guest speaker.
Our first meeting was in March of 2011. 12 people showed up and we tasted the Van Winkle line of bourbons, from the 10 year old right up to the 23 year old. The second meeting our membership was up to about 20 people. I then was contacted by Jim Rutledge of Four Roses who said he would love to come to Owensboro and speak to my Society. He spoke at our third meeting (we had about 25 people there).
Since then I have had the good fortune to have the likes of Charles Medley, Rob Samuels, Tom Bulleit, Bernie Lubbers, Brad Boswell (President of Independent Stave) and Wes and Kyle Henderson speak at my society. We are having Chris Morris as our guest speaker in July. We also have taken two distillery tours, one at Buffalo Trace which ended with a tasting with Harlen Wheatley and another at Makers Mark which ended with an evening cocktail at the home of Bill Samuels.
The membership in the society has grown to over 80 members with people joining all of the time. We just completed our first annual Bourbon & Jazz Festival in Owensboro which was a huge success. My initial goal (meeting people who enjoyed bourbon) has more than been realized as I have developed deep friendships with many of my members. Starting a bourbon society has provided me with a passion that is enjoyable and rewarding. The Bourbon Journey is just beginning and I can't wait to see what the future has in store!
Vince Carida
Owensboro Bourbon Society
Perhaps you don't want a large club – that's fine. Scale things down and start small. There is nothing that says your whiskey club can't be more than a half dozen people each bringing a bottle and sitting around and chatting and enjoying the brown stuff. You may not need or want a website to start. Begin small with the understanding that you can grow slowly and organically. It can be set up any way you want.
Whatever size or type of whiskey club you wish to have, Vince has provided some excellent points worth considering. I'll summarize some of them as well as add a few:
– Have a clear understanding of what you want out of your club. Remember, you have to really want to do this. Don't do it for anything but the fun of it. Much like Sku wrote recently about Whiskey Blogging – you have to have a passion and desire to start a club. It's not glamorous and it's work, but it's great fun if you love it.
– Talk to liquor stores that you frequent and check on getting a discount for your members. This is a win win for both the club and the store. However, be careful here. Liquor stores get approached for similar things like this frequently. If you don't have a store you frequent often, I don't recommend broaching this subject with a prospective store without feeling things out a little. Go to a few local shops, ask questions, talk to the owners and staff, explain what you are looking to accomplish. If you do that properly (i.e. sincerely) you may very well foster a great new relationship with a shop that will help you grow (and/or sustain) your membership.
– Use social media and online resources to start inexpensively. A simple private FaceBook page or Google+ group could serve as your group website and communication bulletin to start. There are so many tools to help you limit up front costs.
– If you are in an area where you can leverage industry experts – don't be afraid to do so. You'll find brand ambassadors and industry vets love nothing more than to talk about whiskey to people interested in learning.
A special thank you to Vince for providing some fantastic insight. Rather than bombard Vince with a boatload of emails, if you have some specific questions, please feel free to ask them here. I'll coordinate with Vince to stop by when he can and post some responses.
Drink your whiskey!

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Russ Smith matched his career high with 31 points to lead three Cardinals in double figures, and top-seeded Louisville overcame its toughest test yet in a 77-69 victory over Oregon on Friday night.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Russ Smith matched his career high with 31 points to lead three Cardinals in double figures, and top-seeded Louisville overcame its toughest test yet in a 77-69 victory over Oregon on Friday night.
Kevin Ware added 11 and Gorgui Dieng had 10 points and nine rebounds for Louisville, which has won 13 straight. Coach Rick Pitino improved to 11-0 in the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament.
The 12th-seeded Ducks (28-9) managed to make a game of it late. After Louisville went up 66-48 with 9:01 left, Oregon made six straight field goals to close to 70-64 — the closest anyone's been to the Cardinals in a couple of weeks. But Kevin Ware scored on a layup and Chane Behanan threw down a monstrous dunk to put the game out of reach.
Still, Oregon is only the second team to be within single digits at the buzzer during Louisville's run.
Louisville (32-5) plays the winner of Michigan State-Duke on Sunday.
Kyle Singler's 15 points led five Ducks in double figures.
But Oregon was hurt by foul trouble — Johnathan Loyd had three before halftime — and an off night by Damyean Dotson. The freshman was huge in Oregon's victory over Saint Louis, scoring a career-high 23. But he was 0 for 6 in the first half, and didn't make a field goal until midway through the second. He finished with 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting.
The Cardinals were barely tested in either of their first two games, beating North Carolina A&T by 31 and Colorado State by 26. They set an NCAA record with 20 steals against A&T, outrebounded one of the country's best rebounding teams in Colorado State and left both teams with ugly shooting lines.
But the Cardinals got a couple of tests Friday night, one of their own doing and one very big one from the Ducks.
Peyton Siva spent the last 15:19 of the first half on the bench after picking up his second foul. But even without their floor general, the Cardinals didn't miss a beat thanks to Smith. He hit a 3 to spark a 14-3 run that put Louisville up 24-8, and the game seemed to be all but over.
Smith had seven points during the spurt. When he finished the run with a layup, it was Russ Smith 9, Oregon 8.
The Ducks weren't going away that easily, though. After Luke Hancock's 3 capped a 12-2 run that put Louisville up 66-48, the Ducks would make six straight field goals. When Dotson knocked down a jumper with 5:12 remaining, it got Oregon within six, the closest it had been since early in the first half.
Closest anyone had been to Louisville since the Big East tournament, actually.
But part of what makes the Cardinals so imposing is their maturity — and their options, which seem endless. Ware made a layup and Behanan scored on a thunderous jam and the Cardinals were cruising again.

Basic Hardware setup and Installation:
After unpacking, you have to place the cords firmly into the wall power sockets, without any power strip to prevent any power issues with the device. Once everything is plugged in, you will find the power button on the front left side of the printer.
The steps to set up the 123.hp.com/envy5030 printer for printing are as follows:
- Switch on the Envy5030 printer by pressing the power button on the left side. Since the printer is initialized for the first time, it may make some noise. Once this is done use the upward/downward arrows to choose language/country/region and then tap OK.
- The printer screen prompts you to insert the cartridge. Use the cutouts on the sides to lift the top cover. First install the Tri color cartridge as labeled on the back cover of the cartridge. Now using the orange pull tab, remove the tape covering the electrical contacts and ink nozzles. When you load the cartridges in the printer, you will notice that the color on the locking levers match the color on top of the cartridge. Lift, to open the lock lever for the tri-color cartridge. Slide the tri-color cartridge downwards into the slot and make sure the cartridge is placed correctly under the lock lever. Close the lock lever until it snaps into place. Repeat the same process to install the black cartridge. After closing the cover, the 123.hp.com/envy5030 printer automatically recognizes that you have installed genuine HP cartridges.

Run 3.1 miles and help orphans living more than 8,000 miles away.
A 5K run and 2K family run set for Aug. 23 will benefit children ages 0-5 living at Beautiful Gate Orphanage who have been abandoned or affected by HIV/AIDS.
Beautiful Gate in Lesotho, Africa, started in 2001 with seven children, said Christina Terpstra, Zeeland resident and the organization's North American Representative. Since then, Beautiful Gate has reached out to more than 360 children who have been abandoned or orphaned mostly due to HIV and AIDS.
"Our main mission is to love and raise these kids and let them know that they have worth," Terpstra said. "A lot of the children that come to us have been abandoned, left in trash bags (or) left in the bottom of a toilet pit because someone thought they didn't have any worth."
And many of the children have serious health needs. Making the trip to a good doctor, however, is usually a two- to three-hour trip, Terpstra said. Money raised from the upcoming event in Holland will go into Beautiful Gate's medical fund which needs about $6,000 annually.
"Beautiful Gate has had a lot of outpouring of support from the Holland/Zeeland area," Terpstra said. The Holland/Zeeland community is tied to the orphanage because of Haven Christian Reformed Church in Zeeland, where Terpstra attends along with Bryan and Anita Geurink, co-directors of Beautiful Gate.
"A lot of people always say that the orphan AIDS crisis in Africa is so big there's nothing I can do to help from here," Terpstra said. "This day is an event not just to go out and run a 5K, but to give to children."

The bottom line starts at 350
We shouldn't even have to tell you where you're having lunch this Saturday, Oct. 24, or what you're bringing. You should already know. I'm bringing a pot of hot pumpkin soup and maybe my apple crisp, the kind with the crunchy topping flavored with maple syrup. Can't beat it when it's hot. Where are we going? To the gigantic Middlebury potluck lunch, and while the food will be delicious, the cause is the driving force. The potluck is part of the worldwide day of recognition about climate change that has been organized by 350.org, a Middlebury-based group headed by Ripton environmentalist Bill McKibben and many others who had previously organized the Step It Up campaign in 2007. Saturday's potluck hopes to attract 350 homemade dishes. Why 350? Because that is the parts per million of carbon dioxide that most scientists now agree is the maximum number allowable in the atmosphere to keep it safe. It is also, organizers say, a symbolic number "where we need to head as a planet." We are currently at 387 and going higher every year; we need to reverse that trend and bring it down.To increase worldwide recognition that 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide is the safe level the world must meet, more than 1,500 events throughout 115 countries will take place. The goal is to provide public support of the issue so politicians are more willing to make the tough political changes that are absolutely crucial. Why Oct. 24 and why this year? Let the folks at 350.org explain: "To tackle climate change we need to move quickly, and we need to act in unison — and 2009 will be an absolutely crucial year. This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to craft a new global treaty on cutting emissions. The problem is, the treaty currently on the table doesn't meet the severity of the climate crisis — it doesn't pass the 350-test."In order to unite the public, media and our political leaders behind the 350 goal, we're harnessing the power of the Internet to coordinate a planetary day of action on Oct. 24. We hope to have actions at hundreds of iconic places around the world — from the Taj Mahal to the Great Barrier Reef to your community — and a clear message to world leaders: the solutions to climate change must be equitable, they must be grounded in science, and they must meet the scale of the crisis …"A number of small island nations and less developed country governments have joined leaders like Al Gore in enunciating firmly the 350 target, and equating it with survival. Climate coalition groups like TckTckTck have also endorsed the target, as have a growing coalition of hundreds of organizational allies..."We are aware that we won't get an agreement at Copenhagen that rapidly returns us to 350 — even if we do everything right, it will take decades for the world's oceans and forests to absorb the excess carbon we've already poured into the atmosphere. But that's why we've got to get going now — and at the very least we'll have a number to explain why the agreement that does emerge is insufficient and needs to be revised quickly and regularly. We can use it to make Copenhagen a real beginning, not an end for years to come the way Kyoto was."In the end, everyone needs to remember that the goal at Copenhagen is not to get a 'victory', not to sign an agreement. It's to actually take steps commensurate with the problem. And those steps are dictated, in the end, by science. This negotiation, on the surface, is between America and China and the EU and India and the developing world; between industry and environmentalists; between old and new technology. But at root the real negotiation is between human beings on the one hand, and physics and chemistry on the other. "Physics and chemistry have laid their cards on the table: above 350 the world doesn't work. They are not going to negotiate further. It's up to us to figure out, this year and in the years ahead, how to meet their bottom line."All of us can make a difference by making individual changes in our lives and in our expectations. This Saturday offers an opportunity to become part of a worldwide movement that has to succeed. The local action that day starts on the Middlebury Green at 10 a.m. with a presentation by Vision 2020 as they identify 350 actions the community can take to cut carbon emissions; followed by the potluck and other activities. And don't forget to clue in to other actions throughout the world via the organization's Web site at www.350.org. The more we all learn, the better able we are to act.

ORLANDO, Fla. � Springfield High School incoming senior Courtney Pence and her Illini Elite 17-U Cardinal team put on a show in the Amateur Athletic Union Girls� Junior National Championships over the weekend.
Pence was one of three members of the Bloomington-based Illini Elite team to make the 17-open All-American Team, leading her team to a second-place finish in its bracket of the four-day event.
�It was � by far � the best experience of my life,� she said of the weekend. �I�ve never experienced anything like that before. Just all the parents and all the people watching, it was crazy to think about.
�It�s my goal to go into every tournament and make the all-tournament team. That�s basically what that (the All-American team) is.�
Pence, a Libero for her AAU team but an outside hitter for the Senators, is the reigning Central State Eight Conference Volleyball Player of the Year. She will play Libero at Illinois State University after this school year.
For the second year in a row, Pence�s team reached the gold (championship) bracket of the national championships, guaranteed to finish no worse than ninth. That�s where her 16-under team finished last year.
�It�s a goal to get into the gold bracket,� Pence said. �It�s really hard; you almost have to win every game every day. The gold is the top-nine teams out of the 200 teams in your age group.�
The Illini Elite 17 Cardinal reached the title match by beating A5 Mizuno 171 Jing 2-1 (23-25, 25-20, 15-10) and Pence called that Mizuno team the best team she�s ever faced.
And though Pence�s team fell 25-19, 25-23 to Mizuno Northern Lights in the championship match, she said her teammates were thrilled at the experience.
Also making the 17-open All-American Team from the Illini Elite were Madison Moser of Normal West and Lauren Anderson from Deer Creek-Mackinaw.
Pence also confirmed Monday that she would not be playing basketball for the Senators as a senior, instead using that time to focus on volleyball. The AAU schedule starts up during basketball season and she has missed that to play basketball.
But in anticipation of a college career, Pence said she reluctantly decided to forego her final year of basketball.

The Lakers's offensive performance in D'Antoni's second game is not what his offense is designed to produce.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The comic relief may have lightened the mood among the media late Wednesday night, but new Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni wasn't feeling any better after his second game on the job.
And this had nothing to do with his recent knee replacement surgery that's left him hobbling like an extra in 'The Walking Dead.'
The first loss of the D'Antoni era came in the most unexpected of ways, the lowly Sacramento Kings outworking the lackluster Lakers and making Pau Gasol look like a soothsayer for his comment made after a win over Brooklyn in D'Antoni's debut at the Staples Center the night before.
"They're all going to be hard," Gasol had said. "Every team likes to beat the Lakers."
Not that he or many of his teammates did much to stop the Kings, who won the game 113-97. All the momentum of the post-Mike Brown Lakers came to a halt -- the five wins in six tries that seemed to justify the surprising decision to ditch the defense-first mentality and laborious Princeton offense that came with the former coach. What this was, D'Antoni had said with a laugh perhaps so he didn't cry, was "Muppet time" instead of "Showtime ... like we were wrestling in mud ... like watching sap out of a tree."
Watching D'Antoni was far more entertaining. The looks of disbelief after so many blown defensive assignments (most notably in Sacramento's 40-point, fourth-quarter), that get-off-my-lawn glare after a haphazard possession or any of their 20 turnovers, and those zombie walks up and down the court that happened only in his moments of maximum frustration.
"The first half might (have been) the worst basketball I've seen in 10 years," D'Antoni had said of the 41 points his team mustered before the break. "I was in shock."
Sure, they only had time for two practices in the 10 days since D'Antoni was hired instead of former coach Phil Jackson. But his "amoeba" offense – as his older brother and newest Lakers assistant coach, Dan D'Antoni, prefers to call it – was supposed to prevent nights like this, to mold itself around the strengths of the talent that's available and be self-sustaining even in its most elementary state. This system, at least on this night, looked more like a virus.
It was enough to make you wonder if the new coach might have any doubts creep in at this early juncture, thoughts about this roster that hardly resembles his fabled Phoenix teams of old and whether or not it's compatible enough to win the title so many expect. Yet as D'Antoni leaned against a wall near the visitor's locker room, the frequent grimaces continuing for both basketball and medical reasons, he insisted that this task is not too tall.
"Oh no, no, we'll get it done," he told USA TODAY Sports after the loss. "We're going to get it done. We've just got to have a little more of a healthier roster. But we'll get it done.
"The biggest point is, and I don't want to belabor the point, but Steve (Nash) is a big part of this, and we need to get him healthy and get him back."
Not that Brown was given the same treatment, but judgements will and should be reserved until D'Antoni's partner in "Seven Seconds or Less" returns. It really is that simple right now for the Lakers, who have been without the point guard who they traded for last summer since he fractured a fibula in his left leg on Oct. 31 and have no timetable for his return (though he's scheduled to be re-examined this weekend). This isn't just any future Hall of Famer, of course, but the one who perfected D'Antoni's up-tempo, pick-and-roll heavy offense during their time together in Phoenix, from 2004 to 2008.
Nash's back-up, Steve Blake, has missed the past five games with a strained abdomen and is expected to miss Friday's game at Memphis and Saturday's game at Dallas. The replacements for both Steves are average at best, with second-year player Darius Morris and veteran Chris Duhon relinquishing lead role to Kobe Bryant on most possessions as default best option. Yet even the masterful Bryant can't run this offense like Nash.
"The tempo amoebas to the player itself," Dan D'Antoni said before the game. "You've got faster players, it gets faster. You got slower players, it slows down. But the concept is the same. OK, so you score in nine seconds (with the Lakers). So what? The idea is to score. Maybe 16 seconds, 18 seconds, it doesn't matter. We've got 24 seconds, so we're going to try to score wherever it is."
The Lakers have 11 fast break points combined in two games since D'Antoni took over after averaging 13.6 in the five games under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff and Bryant wants to speed things up and pinpointed Gasol as someone who needs to step on the gas.
"We kind of know what to do, it's just about getting in the spots, and you've got to run a little bit more," said Bryant, who maintained his lead in the league's scoring race with a 38-point outing against Sacramento. "You've got to kind of pick up the pace a little bit – particularly Pau. Dwight's (Howard) used to running - he's not in tip-top shape (because of April back surgery) but he will be. But Pau is used to kind of just laboring up the floor, coasting a little bit. And in this offense, you've really got to kind of put the motor on in the first few steps and get up the court."
As evidenced by Bryant, the players will need to police themselves to a certain extent on both ends of the floor. But D'Antoni, who is sometimes using a crutch to get through practices and has relied on Dan to assist with his early teachings, is well aware that he needs to gain the trust of his new players too.
"These are veteran players and they know what to do," Mike D'Antoni said "I just think that little by little, they need to trust me and I need to trust them and find out their strengths and weaknesses. Like Dwight (four shots and seven points) didn't get the ball tonight, so we've got to figure out why and fix it.
"He's just got to trust me to know that I'm going to go back and figure it out. Just little things like that. I think we're there. I think we're cool. But again, this is a little step backwards (against the Kings) and we've got to get over this."
And make no mistake: the D'Antonis always want to get up and go. That's how their father, Lewis, coached the local high school team in Mullens, W. Va., during their childhood and it's how they went on to teach the game as they both became coaches on their own.
(Mike) D'Antoni was living proof that an up-tempo style could net a pleasing payoff, as he was a star point guard and all-time leading scorer for Milan back when Bryant was growing up watching both he and his father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, play in Italy.
"Our dad played fast basketball, but we were always taught to keep things simple," said Dan D'Antoni, a former Marshall point guard in the late 1960s and long-time high-school coach who first partnered with Mike as an assistant in Phoenix and was with him in New York for the last three seasons as well. "We always felt like when you turned down a shot, that's a mistake. If it's a make-able shot that you were used to making, it's a mistake. And we always felt that players shot better with the shots they picked rather than the one the coach picked for him. We just played out that way, and as anything starts it's like anything else – once you start from the concept, if you keep thinking on it it naturally grows and keeps doing different things."
Take the open shot. Move the ball. Find the energy. Space the floor. Bury the three. And run.
The to-do list isn't terribly long just yet, but Mike D'Antoni has kept it that way on purpose. For all the simplicity of his system – wings running to their spots in the deep corners and acting like turrets on a castle, big men setting high screens and rolling down a wide-open lane and such – there is much more to come. Over time, a selfless, free-flowing, fun style that rewards stars and role players alike is supposed to emerge.
No one can blame D'Antoni for wanting to take it slow, as he had planned on recovering in his New York area home for "another month" before being active again but adjusted because, well, he's coaching the Lakers. The challenge goes beyond installing his new offense and blending tremendous talent, as D'Antoni is doing it without the benefit of a training camp or preseason.
"We're on our ABCs (of the offense) right now," Dan D'Antoni said. "There's no depth to this movement. You're working out of concepts and ABCDs, and in order to understand the concept you need to know the variety of things that are within the concept. And right now we probably have, in each concept, maybe two things. But once you get to five or six, it enhances everything.
"It becomes a thinking man's offense. It allows players who feel the game, who think the game a little bit, the freedom to make their own choices with the space to play in. That's kind of what we try to create, and Mike just does a great job of putting that in."
As Morris said, the key difference between the new system and the read-and-react Princeton offense that Brown had installed in training camp is that it's not an all-or-nothing approach anymore. Whereas the Princeton often left players reacting far too robotically as they processed the infinite possibilities, D'Antoni's system can be more functional immediately even though his new players are a long ways from full comprehension.
"As opposed to the Princeton, where everybody has to be on the same page, now everybody just has to be spaced and then you've got a chance," Morris said. "The spacing is way more open for everyone to make a play. It allows everybody to be more aggressive. Sometimes in the Princeton, you attack, and if you don't attack right or that person reads off you, it gets cluttered."
The question of whether D'Antoni can make the three-pointer anywhere close to as vital to the Lakers as it was to his record-breaking Suns remains to be seen. He became a beyond-the-arc believer while coaching in Italy during the late 1990s and early 2000s, when his championship teams in the Italian League always led the pack from three-point range and Mike called Dan to convince him to have his high school teams launch from long-range too.
But if the loss against the Kings was any indication, even a good night from the Lakers shooters won't always be enough to protect Howard in the paint. On this night, it was a flawed formula.
The Kings, who took a page out of Miami's defensive playbook during the offseason and decided to prioritize the interior protection over that of the perimeter, collapsed on Howard down low while picking the lesser of two evils in deciding to let the Lakers hit 12 of 26 threes. Metta World Peace, who is shooting 36% from three-point range while taking an average of 6.2 per game, is considered key in that regard. Reserve shooting guard Jodie Meeks, who was seen as a key offseason signing but never gained Brown's trust or consistent playing time, will play a more prominent role as well.
As Dan D'Antoni sees it, Gasol will be the Lakers' version of Boris Diaw when he was a versatile playmaker and scorer for his brother's Suns. He'll spend more time on the outside so Howard can work in the post. That's the plan, anyways – one that has barely been put into place.
"You don't try to change everything," D'Antoni said. "It's just little by little, and you keep reinforcing it. Right now, they're thinking a little bit about how to do things, and we've just got to make sure we create good habits and then habits will come to reactions and then they'll be fine. But it's one of those things where we started in a hole – we're in a little bit of a hole now, and we have high aspirations. So every day, we just have to supply the energy. It might not look pretty, but the energy has got to be there."
If not, then the losses – and dashed championship dreams - surely will.

Online genealogy research to understand family history and ancestry
Life is lived onwards but understood backwards. Indeed, there are lot of things to learn in history, more so, with the people for whom you own your heritage. Those people whom youve never ever heard of, the forgotten souls of your great, great, great, great grandparents were the reason why you are on earth right now. Because of this, many peoples interests were captured on studying their own roots, their genealogy.
Over the years, the supreme records that serve as the best research tools on the study of genealogy are held in microfilm reels. The members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints were the major collectors of family trees as part of their religion and belief. Because of this, most family researchers seek for their help in tracing their line of ancestors.
Aside from the records of the Mormons, there also other excellent sources to find names of the people. One of which is the newspaper. Newspapers can contain articles about or obituaries of your relatives who lived decades ago. Funeral cards are also powerful tools for researchers. These could be found from the closets of your parents or libraries. Also, you can interview your living relatives about the names of your ancestors, their stories, and their way of living during the time. Nevertheless, all these sum up to the laborious chore of studying your genealogy. And to add to the difficulty is the financial concern. The old methods of tracing the family genealogy are undoubtedly expensive. Tracing the genealogy requires an investment. The introduction of internet to the world of genealogy is a great technological spec.
Because of the online genealogy system, all the records and files from the primary documents, to newspaper articles and obituaries down to the funeral cards were all embedded to the vast sea of knowledge. This online system allows the researchers to an easy access to the resources. All the capabilities and authentications of the recorded documents are posted at the internet. And everyday, more sets of information are entered to the web to keep its record updated and reliable.
There are free genealogy search engines that require only certain information such as surname, name, and/or location of your ancestry. In an instant, you can readily find your line of ancestry. However, if you are not satisfied with the results reported by search engines, you can conduct further study of your genealogy. To help you in this quest, you can post at the online message board the specific surname that you are tracing. In this manner, you will be able to meet fellow genealogists who are working on the same surname.
For genealogists, the online research for resources is beneficial. It helps cut the cost of expenses and the time allotted for genealogy research. Aside from this, they can share their documents with other researchers online. The exchange of information speeds up the tracking of heritage.
While you seek to learn more about many things, dont you think it is also fulfilling to know your roots?

There's something about the bond between a dad and his daughter, so it's no surprise that there are a number of special wedding traditions that center on this special relationship. Some of the most emotionally charged moments – aside from those between the bride and groom, of course – include the father/daughter dance and the giving away of the bride by her father in the ceremony. The origin of the latter, however, harks back to the days of arranged marriages, when fathers gave their daughters away as property in exchange for a dowry. Nowadays the meaning is much less offensive to women, as it's considered a symbol of the father's blessing of the union. The father/daughter dance is also a way for the dad to give away his daughter and to say his goodbyes as her husband becomes the new main man in her life. At American weddings, fathers also traditionally say a toast to the bride and groom at the reception.
Depending on your culture or religion, there is a wide variety of traditions involving the bride's dad. At Argentinean weddings, the bride is escorted by her father down the aisle, but instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen, the couple's parents and godparents are the only ones at their side for the ceremony. Jewish weddings have many traditions for the father of the bride to take part in, including the groom's tisch, in which the men sing and drink, and the father of the bride, together with the groom, signs the ketubah. During Indian wedding ceremonies, the parents of the bride wash the feet of the bride and groom with milk and water to symbolize their purification before marriage. And at Muslim weddings, the tradition of the bride's father giving her away to the groom is called rukhsat. But perhaps the most unusual tradition occurs at wedding ceremonies in the Maasai nation of Kenya, in which the father of the bride gives his blessing by spitting on the bride's head and breasts.
