We played Washington without Wall, OKC without Durant and Green, and Toronto with Reggie Evans now instead of Bosh and only won one. yes I'd say Karl the bad week part is accurate. Then again if you know me you know I don't care about regular season losses. My biggest concern is Rondo's plantar fascitis (however you spell it).
I have that too! Had to get a cortizone shot for it. It's painful but he'll be fine.
I thought Rondo's current injury was a hamstring issue and that the plantar fasciitis had subsided? I have had plantar fasciitis as well, and it sucks. But after a week or 2 of taking cortisone internally, it got better.
Three Toe says:
freakin westbrook. docs face at 2:00 is great.
I don´t like to see Boston playing like this. We were rolling, and then we found these ugly losses. Friday night was beyond bizarre. I was waiting the C´s vs Hawks game. Good rival to see where the team is really standing. Three in a row doesn´t sound good...
I hope Rondo stays off his feet to get over the plantar fasciitis! Thanks for the video even after a bad week!
Very true - BAD week.
but its only the reg season.
Glad to see Delonte back.
Hope Rondos foot will be healed quickly.

I rode down New Mexico Avenue and then up the tiny hill on Tunlaw past the Russian Embassy and down the tiny hill on Tunlaw where they're soon to build a new intersection to discourage drivers from turning off Wisconsin because it's now marginally less highway-y than it used to be, made that way in the name of preventing people from getting hit by cars as they try to cross the street. To my mind, Tunlaw and 37th Street, to which Tunlaw flows, make terrible cut-throughs on account of the stop signs every block, but I am not possessed of the peculiar trait of many people who drive, a trait of myopia that willingly trades continuous slow movement in place of alternatingly stopping and going. Wait, strike that. That's exactly my affliction and that's exactly why I ride a bike to work. I guess the affliction of which I am not afflicted is the belief that there's any way to "beat traffic" and that's why I simply opt out of it. There is also no way to "beet traffic" or at least no way to do it without staining your hands.
37th to R to 34th, which has a bike lane, but little else of interest. 34th to M, a street with much interest and many buses and some pedestrians and double-parking and fancy cars, both driving and double-parking, because M Street is the main drag of Georgetown, a neighborhood as posh as George IV, who was either a once dandy King of England or one of Foreman's eponymous-er kids. Truth be told, I derive greater pleasure from riding past stopped luxury cars than I do more pedestrian (?) vehicles. It's downright schadenfreude when I pass the German ones.
M to Pennsylvania to L, which possesses still a cycle track, though that cycle track no longer possesses the posts at its entrance each block. They were removed to make way for snow plows, which would subsequently make way for bicyclists, but the lack of snow has made this removal moot and the return of the posts (like this blog itself?) would make for bettering my overall commuting experience. It's not that drivers always drive in the bike lane, it's just that sometimes they do and why settle for sometimes when we could prevent it all of the time?
L Street to 11th and 11th to Pennsylvania. There are more Bikeshare stations on 11th (two more) than there were previously.
Pennsylvania Avenue to the Senate side of the Capitol and I rode on the driveway instead of riding on the path, which was otherwise occupied by middle schoolers in business casual. I would suspect that any business run by tweens would be casual, but my idea of dressing up involves changing into "formal" slippers, so I'm not really one to talk.
I rode down East Capitol to 11th Street, rounded the park and took Kentucky to the grocery store, where I parked my bike and went inside to buy, among other things, Canadian bacon. Alberta, was named after an English princess, Princess Louise and they named it Alberta because Louisiana was already taken. It is unclear what an Albertan Mardi Gras is like, but it's likely that they laissent les bon temps roul-eh. Cause it's Canada. Get it? #hockey #timhortons #stereotypes
I rode down D Street from the store and I desperately wanted to take a picture of the van with "Lady Ryda" graffitied on its trunk, but there were people outside and I wouldn't want them to think I was taking a picture in a mocking fashion. Mocking fashion is for Joan Rivers. Alberta's rivers include the Milk River, which flows eventually to the Missouri-Mississippi and eventually to the Louisiana Delta. You might think that Delta Blues is derivative, but probably only if you're into calculus jokes.
16th to A to home. Pups are good, Official Wife is good and I won my appeal against a misplaced fine on illegally overgrown shrubbery, so I'm good too. Things are good.

Received an email from DDOT on 2/7 saying that the posts would be replaced "within a few weeks". If that's the case, today is the last day it will be within that time frame. I have low hopes. Have you noticed a number of missing posts elsewhere on the route? I saw one taken out by a van a week or so ago, the first one for the left turn merge at L and Conn. Still plenty of folks parking and standing in the lane.ReplyDelete

This review discusses the interrelationship of race and religion in law, the subject of Eve Darian-Smith's new book, which seeks to rectify the neglect of religion in the study of race and law and the parallel neglect of race in studies of law and religion. Concurring with the book's basic propositions, that the segregation of race and religion into separate fields of legal studies needs to be overcome and the religious origins of fundamental liberal legal ideas need to be recognized, I tease out different ways in which race and religion can be "linked" and religion can "play a role" in the development of modern law that are not fully parsed out in Darian-Smith's analysis. Applauding her attempt to integrate recent challenges to the long regnant "secularization thesis" into the study of race and law, I point out some unresolved ambiguities in those challenges and their implications for law.

Stolzenberg on Righting the Relationship between Race and Religion and the Law
Righting the Relationship between Race and Religion in Law has just been posted by my colleague Nomi Stolzenberg USC Gould School of Law. It is a review essay on Eve Darian-Smith, Religion, Race, Rights: Landmarks in the History of Modern Anglo-American Law (Oxford, Hart Publishing 2010). The essay is forthcoming in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, 2011. Here's the abstract:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is decentralisation and why is it important in Namibia?
What will central government do once decentralization has taken place?
What is decentralisation and why is it important in Namibia?
What is decentralisation and why is it important in Namibia?
The job of the Namibian Government is to make decisions that affect Namibia and to administer the country. The central government is mainly situated in Windhoek, but this is far away from the communities in both urban and rural areas across the country. This is why the National Assembly adopted the Decentralisation Policy in 1997.
"Decentralisation" means giving the power to make decisions about these urban areas (villages, towns and municipalities) and rural areas (settlements) to regional councils and local authorities, which are directly elected by the people who live there. Through decentralisation, people living in the regions, through local authorities, have more control over their own lives – they can influence the decisions that affect their daily lives.
Decentralisation gives regional councils and local authorities the power to plan and administer on a local level and to do things that improve the lives of their citizens, both socially and economically. It gives them political and financial responsibility for realising national ideals and values.

New Features Kick Off Issues of the 2012 Friend Magazine
Contributed By Philip M. Volmar, Church News and Events
Article Highlights
- The new features will appear throughout the 2012 volume of the Friend.
- During the year, three issues of the magazine will focus on specific topics.
- For the first time, a department in the Friend will focus specifically on issues helpful for preteens.
"We hope the new features will help fortify children and make learning and sharing the gospel fun, inspiring, and interactive for them." —Jan Pinborough, managing editor of the Friend magazine
Related Links
Readers of the Friend magazine will notice new and exciting features designed to enhance scripture learning and provide music for young musicians. Other new features will cater to older children transitioning from Primary.
Jan Pinborough, managing editor of the Friend, said many of the upcoming features serve to help today's children who "are being challenged in new ways."
"We hope the new features will help fortify children and make learning and sharing the gospel fun, inspiring, and interactive for them," she said.
Following are the new features that will be found in the 2012 issues of the Friend:
Scripture Figures
In 2012, 10 issues will feature Scripture Figures, a colorful page of Book of Mormon characters—such as Nephi, Captain Moroni, and Samuel the Lamanite—that correlate with lessons in the Primary 7: Book of Mormon manual that will be used in 2012.
Each "Scripture Figure" page, which will be found on the inside back cover of the magazine, will also include accessories, such as swords or Nephi's ship. "Children, parents, and teachers can cut out the figures and glue them to paper sacks or wooden craft sticks, making it easier to bring the scriptures to life for children," Sister Pinborough said.
Question Corner
Starting in February, every other issue of the Friend will include the Question Corner department, which will feature questions and answers from children on topics such as how to get along with siblings or what to do when a friend starts making wrong choices.
I Can Play It!
Each issue will feature a simplified large-note version of a favorite Primary song arranged with beginning pianists in mind. Each song will include practice tips and advice for young musicians.
Follow the Prophet
In time for President Thomas S. Monson's 85th birthday in August 2012, this new monthly department will highlight stories from President Monson's life, starting with his childhood and continuing through his role as prophet and President of the Church. Written by President Monson's biographer, Heidi S. Swinton, the stories will also be accompanied by activities that reinforce the principles taught by President Monson's life and service.
For Older Kids
Preteens—an age group sometimes called "tweens"—who are nearing the transition from Primary to Young Men or Young Women will find a new department especially for them called For Older Kids. The four-page section will include stories that focus on more mature topics such as gaining a testimony or going to the temple.
Special Issues
In addition to regular features in the 2012 volume of the Friend, three issues will focus on specific topics:
April — "My Gospel Standards" will focus on the 13 standards taught in Primary as part of the Faith in God program.
June — "Service" will highlight ways children around the Church are giving Christlike service and give parents and children ideas for giving service as well.
October — "Transitions," will focus on transitioning from Primary and will feature stories about receiving the priesthood, attending Young Men and Young Women, and other related topics.
The Friend, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2011, is the Church's magazine for children ages 3 to 12. The magazine regularly features short articles by the prophets, apostles, and other general leaders of the Church; stories written by children; games, puzzles, and activities; and other content for Primary-aged children.
View the magazine online free of charge or subscribe to the print edition, available in English.

I can't believe it's February already! That means it's time to see how I did with my January goals. Turns out I actually got a few things done, which kinda surprised me…
Paint my craft room (the new house comes complete with room for a craft room (woop, woop and woop again!), but it's currently a kind of manky green colour which needs to go before I fill it with my junk craft stuff) Organise and photoshop my New Year's Eve photos Join in with 52 Weeks of Happy Complete 2 items from my 101 Things list(ish). I did some of my regular monthly items but didn't tick off anything new. Finish 5 snowflake blocks
I'm super happy about getting my craft room painted. It makes such a difference having got rid of the manky green colour and I can't wait to get some pictures up of the change. I'm also pretty please I ticked off the snowflake blocks goal because as of Wednesday I only had 3 done so it was a bit of a race to the finish. But I got there and probably wouldn't have done so if I hadn't set myself that goal.
So on to February…
Source: lovelyasadream.tumblr.com via whatktmadenext on Pinterest
- Tidy my craft room, unpack the remaining boxes and generally make it look pretty
- Finish 5 snowflake blocks and my chunky cowl
- Make cushions for the living room
- Complete two unstarted items from my 101 Things list
- Order the new radiator for the (not so) snug room so that it can start to live up to its name

Samoa take defeat well, again...
Sapolu Fuimaono - I can understand the hate!! Haha good luck u racist biased prick
Seesh, Fiji, get up already and score some points.
Embarrassing scoreline, put aside their win over Namibia and its been a horrible World Cup for Fiji, especially after making the quarter finals four years ago.
Wales have been impressive so far. Should have beaten SA and cruised the rest of the group games, the match with Ireland next week could be the hardest one to call of all the quarters.
I would go with Butch at 12 for the Aus game. JdV to stay on the bench and he can cover for Habana as well.
Huge loss and as you say, the Boks will need to change their style now.
Suspended Gloucester centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu has once again hit out at the International Rugby Board on Twitter.
The Samoa international will face a World Cup misconduct hearing on Saturday after accusing Welsh referee Nigel Owens of bias during Samoa's defeat to South Africa in their final pool match. And the 30-year-old has now risked further wrath from the IRB by accusing them of failing to acknowledge the anniversary of the Samoan tsunami disaster that claimed the lives of 143 people.
"Our dead not good enough" he said in a Twitter message on Thursday."Minute of silence for USA for 9/11, nothing for Samoa for tsunami. Both games played anniversary days. Our dead not good enough."
The IRB responded by telling AFP, "As agreed with the Samoa Rugby Union, the date was respectfully commemorated with a public address immediately prior to kick-off and also the wearing of black armbands to remember those who tragically lost their lives."
Didn't know shivfan played Rugby...
marc71178 - President and founding member of AAAS - we don't only appreciate when he does well, but also when he's not quite so good!
Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.

After RailsConf in Portland, there has flared up a discussion centered around IronRuby and Microsoft. We discussed many of these points in depth at the conference, and I'll elaborate some on my views on the issues in a bit.
But first I would like to talk some about the multitude of Ruby implementations springing up. I firmly believe that a language evolves in phases. The first phase, germination, is the period where a language needs one consistent implementation (or a spec). It's during this phase when most "alpha geek adoption" happens. Many important libraries are written, but most applications are not in the main economic center. Ruby have been in this phase for a long time, but the fact that new implementations are springing up left and right is a sure sign that Ruby is entering phase 2: implementation. For adoption to happen, there need to exist several competing implementations, all of them good. This is the evolutionary stage, where it's decided what kind of features an implementation should provide. Should we have green or native threads? Are all the features of the original implementation really that necessary? (Continuations, ObjectSpace). Is there cruft in the standard library that needs to be weeded out? (timeout.rb). All of these questions get answered when other people implement the language. The last phase, which I guess could be called adoption, is when the language have several working implementations, all good enough to deliver high end applications on, when many applications are written in the language, and there exists a plethora of libraries, systems and support for the language.
What this means is that for a language to be successful, there needs to exist competing implementations. They need to implement their features in different ways and make different choices during development. Otherwise, the language will die. (This is obviously not enough, since Smalltalk fulfilled this admirably and still never got widespread adoption.). But I still believe it's incredibly important for a language to evolve with many implementations, which is why I find Rubinius, JRuby, YARV and IronRuby to be extremely important projects for the welfare of Ruby. I want Ruby to be successful. I want Ruby to be the next major language for several reasons. But most importantly: I want Ruby to be a better language tomorrow, than it is today. The only way that's going to happen is by having lots of people implement the language.
So, that's enough of the introductory flame bait. This describes one half of why IronRuby is an important project, and why we can't let it fail. The other side of the coin is the same reason JRuby is important. .NET as a platform have some wildly useful features. There are many developers who swear by .NET for good reason. And what's more important, there are lots of large enterprises with such a vested interest in .NET, that they will never choose anything else. Now, for the welfare of all programmers in the world, I personally believe the world would be a better place if those .NET-environments also used Ruby. So that's the other coin of why IronRuby is important.
The most well read blog about the current Microsoft/Ruby controversy is Martin Fowlers article RubyMicrosoft. Go read it now, and then I'll just highlight the points I find most important.
First: John Lam is committed to creating a "compliant" Ruby implementation. I have no doubts that he can do it. But there are a few problems lurking.
For example, what is a compliant Ruby implementation? Since there exists no spec, and no comprehensive test suite, the only way to measure compliance is to check how close the behavior matches MRI. But this have some problems too. How do you check behavior? Well, you need to run applications. But how do you get so far as you can run applications?
What JRuby did was that we looked at MRI source code.
John Lam can not look at MRI source code. He cannot look at JRuby source code. He cannot look at Rubinius source code. If he does, he will be terminated.
So, the next best alternative: accepting patches from the community, which can look at Ruby source? Nope, no cigar. Microsoft is not really about Open Source yet. Their license allows us to look at their source code, and also to fork it and do what we want with it. But that's only half of what open source is about. The more important part is that you should be able to contribute back code without having to fork. You can't do that with IronRuby, since Microsoft is too scared about being sued for copyright infringement.
There was some doubt about Lam actually being banned from looking at MRI source code. This is the first quote that said it is so. It's from the discussion "Virtual classes and 'real' classes -- why?" on Ruby-core, this quote posted at 29/03/07:
I am going to make a bold statement here. Under the current circumstances, I don't believe it's possible for John Lam and his team to create a Ruby implementation that runs Rails within at least 18 months. And frankly, that's not soon enough.Is this how things are actually implemented? (BTW I'm not lazy here - we cannot look for ourselves).
As I said above, I have all confidence that John can do great stuff if he has the right resources. But creating a Ruby implementation is hard enough while having all the benefits of the open source community.
The two points I want to make with this point is this: The Ruby community must damned well get serious about creating a good, complete specification and test suite. It's time to do it right now, and we need it. It's not a one-man job. The community needs to do it. (And yes, the two SoC projects are a very good start. But you still need to be able to run RSpec to take full advantage of them; and let's face it, the RSpec implementation uses many nice Ruby tricks.)
The second point is simpler: Microsoft needs to completely change how they handle Open Source. Their current strategy of trying to grow it into the organization will not work (at least not good enough). They need to turn around completely, reinvent themselves and make some really bold moves to be able to meet the new world. If they can't do this, they are as dead as Paul Graham claims.

A crackdown on the illegal tobacco trade and the sale of cigarettes to children will begin across the area today.
More than a third of smokers in the area have been offered illegal tobacco while 17 per cent admit to buying it, according to a survey published at the start of the 'Keep it Out' campaign.
Enforcement measures will be accompanied by adverts, posters and the launch of a new website in a joint effort by West Yorkshire Trading Standards and the area's six councils, including Leeds, Kirklees and Wakefield.
Illegal tobacco and under-age smoking are seen as connected issues because the sale of smuggled or counterfeit products gives young people a route to access tobacco.
In addition to the impact on health, the authorities also have concerns about the use of money from illegal tobacco sales being used to support other criminal activity.
Efforts to tackle illegal tobacco sales have had some success with one in ten cigarettes now thought to come from illegal sources compared to one in five in 2000.
There is also growing public awareness of the problem with six out of ten people questioned in the survey describing it as an important issue for their community and 85 per cent worried about young people getting hold of tobacco.

The FRA, European Commission and the Anne Frank House held a conference on the Holocaust and Human Rights Education on 20-21 October.
The conference brought together memorial sites/museums and teachers, Holocaust education and Human Rights Education practitioners, as well as other stakeholders. The participants explored the most appropriate ways to connect human rights and Holocaust education, share practices and activities relating to Holocaust and Human Rights Education with a view of moving forward with respect to a variety of issues, topics and projects as a community of practitioners.
At the occasion of the conference, FRA released another output of the project Human rights education at Holocaust memorial sites across the European Union: An overview of practices.
