Bucks miss chance at 8th vs. Knicks
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- With the New York Knicks locked in a tight fight for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, J.R. Smith hit the kind of shot that could end up making the difference between playing on and going home.
Smith hit a 3-pointer for the lead with 1:04 left, and the Knicks held on to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 111-107 on Wednesday in a game that could turn out to be critical to both teams' playoff hopes.
"If you are going to shoot the ball, make it -- and he did," Carmelo Anthony said. "He shot with confidence, he made it and put us up one and we were gone from there."
Anthony had 32 points and 10 rebounds, while Tyson Chandler added 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks, who took a two-game lead on Milwaukee for the No. 8 seed in the East. Smith had 14 points off the bench.
"This is a game we had to have," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said.
Anthony came away from the game banged up -- he said he hurt his right wrist in the first half and fingers on his left hand in the second half -- but said he'll be fine as the Knicks continue their push for the playoffs.
"This is probably the biggest win we have had so far this season for how important it was," Anthony said. "On the road, the way we won, we gutted it out. The way we responded being down eight coming down the stretch, we buckled down on the defensive end."
Monta Ellis had 35 points and Brandon Jennings added 22 for the Bucks. Milwaukee still can rally to make the playoffs, but Bucks coach Scott Skiles acknowledged that the loss was a significant setback.
"Not good," Skiles said. "We expected to win the game. We didn't win the game. If I feel good about that, I should get another profession."
A win would have evened the Bucks with the Knicks in the standings and given them a head-to-head tiebreaker edge.
"Obviously, now, we need a little help," Skiles said. "We need to win, and we need a little help."
With the Bucks up by eight and the Knicks' chances appearing to fade, Anthony drew a technical foul when he slammed the ball on the floor in frustration with 8:53 left in the game.
"We had them," Jennings said. "We were right there. A couple shots didn't go our way."
Anthony said it was a reaction to hurting his fingers on the play.
"I'm fine, though," Anthony said. "I'm cool."
But Jennings missed the foul shot and the Knicks used a scoring spurt to tie it at 99 on a 3-pointer by Smith. New York then took a 101-99 lead on a pair of free throws by Smith with 3:16 left.
Chandler then picked up his fifth foul, and Ekpe Udoh hit one of two free throws to cut the lead to one.
Anthony then scored on a rebound of his own miss, and Udoh hit a jumper.
Udoh then came up with a block on Iman Shumpert, Mike Dunleavy Jr. rebounded a miss on the other end and kicked it out to Ellis, who hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give the Bucks a 105-103 lead with 1:45 left.
Anthony hit a turnaround jumper at the other end to tie the game.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute scored on a putback on the other end for Milwaukee, but Smith hit an open 3-pointer with 1:04 left to give the Knicks a 108-107 lead.
"Definitely the biggest shot I have made being here so far, especially being on the road and in this atmosphere," Smith said. "Battling for that eighth spot, it was big for us."
After a miss by Dunleavy, Steve Novak -- a former Marquette University standout who knows the Bradley Center rims well -- hit a pair of free throws for a 110-107 Knicks lead with 19.4 left.
Jennings missed a late 3-pointer that would have tied the game.
The Knicks took advantage of woeful interior defense by the Bucks early on, hitting 11 of their first 12 shots -- a lot of them coming on layups. Of the Knicks' first 30 points of the game, 26 of them came in the paint.
New York shot 77.3 percent from the field in the first quarter and led 36-27 going into the second, but the Bucks came back and went into halftime tied at 62.
Jennings said the comeback might have sapped the Bucks' energy.
"It kind of takes a lot out of you," Jennings said. "I think that's where it kind of hit us, in the fourth quarter or the last five minutes. We missed some shots we usually make."
NOTES: It was a short night for Milwaukee center Drew Gooden, who is nursing a sore back and played only 5:02. ... Chandler was 6-for-6 from the field. ... Milwaukee had seven blocked shots, including three each by Udoh and Larry Sanders.

Riley Sommerville is the new national AB racquetball champion.
At 14, Sommerville could have competed at the junior level championships, but they were in Valleyfield, Quebec this year and that would be too costly a trip from her Langley, B.C. home.
"It's really expensive," Sommerville said.
So she stayed home in Langley, where the Newlands Gold and Country Club was hosting the week-long Canadian National Racquetball Championships, competed in the AB division against top-ranked, older players, and won every game she played to take the championship.
The AB division differs from the open division (won by Murielle Boivin) in that players aren't competing for a spot on international teams.
READ MORE: Ready to make a 'racquet' for Canada
Sommerville said she was more nervous and intimidated than usual going up against the older, more experienced, players, but once a game was underway, she was fine.
"As I get more in the zone, I get focused on the game," she observed.
Her toughest win, she said, was in the quarter finals against Carly Bosomworth from Saskatoon ( 7-15, 15-7, 11-8).
"She [Bosomworth]was like, diving [to make shots] and it was a little intimidating," Sommerville told the Langley Advance Times.
Taking the final game to win the championship was an emotional moment, she said.
"I thought I was going to start crying, but I didn't. I didn't want to embarrass myself."
She made a point of thanking her coach, Eric Urteaga, the people at the Newlands Golf and Country Club and her family.
Sommerville didn't do as well in mixed doubles at the nationals, finishing fourth of five.
But she had considerably more fun, thanks to her playing partner, 68-year-old Larry Oakley.
Oakley is her grandfather, and the person who introduced her to the sport when she was 10.
"It was great because I got to do it with family," she said.
READ ALSO: Quite the racquet: no nerves for young Langley players on big stage
She recalls viewing racquetball as just a fun thing to do until she went to the junior nationals in Kelowna and won the U12 category.
Sommerville also teamed up with Kelowna's Malaya Galigan to take silver in the 14 and under doubles division.
She's going to give the world junior racquetball championships a pass this year, because they are being held in Costa Rica, which would be an expensive trip.
Next year, however, she expects the junior Canadian championships will be closer to Langley, and she intends to compete.
Her long-range plans are not set, but whatever they are, they will include racquetball.
"I don't know if I want to make a career of it," she said, "[but] I want to compete all my life."
She is hopeful racquetball will one day be recognized as an Olympic sport, and would "definitely" like to play for Canada.

Virginia Downs Maryland, 80-69
Story Links
Feb. 10, 2013
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Video Highlights | Photo Gallery
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Joe Harris scored 22 points, Justin Anderson added a career-high 17 and Virginia beat Maryland 80-69 Sunday to solidify its hold on third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Cavaliers (17-6, 7-3) never trailed after halftime in their fourth straight win over the Terrapins (17-7, 5-6). Virginia improved to 3-4 on the road, 2-3 in the ACC.
The victory gave the Cavaliers a one-game lead over idle North Carolina and got them within a half-game of Duke, which faced Boston College on Sunday night.
Despite committing 16 turnovers, the Cavaliers shot 58 percent from beyond the arc (11 for 19) and finished with a 34-29 rebounding advantage. Virginia has won three in a row at Maryland for the first time since 1991-93.
Dez Wells scored 13 for the Terrapins, who fell to 14-2 at home. Center Alex Len, who was double-teamed almost every time he touched the ball, had nine points and seven rebounds.
The Cavaliers limited Maryland to one basket in the opening four minutes of the second half and extended a six-point halftime lead to 44-32. After Seth Allen scored for the Terrapins, Paul Jesperson bagged a 3-pointer on the other end to make it 47-34.
It was 51-37 with 13 minutes left before Maryland coach Mark Turgeon called a timeout, took out Len and instructed his team to employ a full-court press. The Cavaliers struggled under the pressure, and the Terrapins scored five straight points to cut the gap to 51-42.
But Virginia answered with a basket by Harris and two 3-pointers by Evan Nolte for a 59-46 advantage.
Maryland closed to 63-55 with 6:48 remaining and 74-67 in the final minute, but the Cavaliers had an answer on each occasion.
Anderson was jeered by Maryland students virtually every time he touched the ball. The 6-foot-6 freshman committed to Maryland in 2011, but after Terps coach Gary Williams retired Anderson changed his mind and accepted a scholarship from Virginia.
Anderson went 5 for 14 from the floor but was 6 for 6 at the line and grabbed nine rebounds.
Anderson scored 14 points and Harris had 12 to stake the Cavaliers to a 35-29 halftime lead. Virginia limited the Terrapins to 11-for-31 shooting and held a 20-14 rebounding edge.
Maryland missed eight of its first 11 shots from the floor and trailed 16-9 after the Cavaliers got successive 3-pointers from Harris. It was 20-11 before a layup by Allen and a dunk by Nick Faust sparked a 13-5 run that got the Terrapins to 25-24.
Minutes later, a follow-shot by Charles Mitchell and a driving layup by Faust tied it at 28.
Anderson responded with a jumper, and the Cavaliers never surrendered the lead.

Halting McKinnon extradition not in our power, says Clegg
'Legally very complex.' And politically too
Halting the extradition of Gary McKinnon to the United States isn't within the power of Britain's government leaders, Nick Clegg has suggested.
Speaking about the controversial proceedings for the first time since becoming deputy prime minister, Clegg dropped a bombshell on McKinnon supporters arguing the forced transfer would violate his human rights. His remarks, made on live radio, appear to be at odds with the positions he staked out prior to this month's elections.
"What I haven't got the power to do, neither has the home secretary, neither has even the prime minister, is to completely reverse and undo certain legal aspects of this," Clegg told Radio Five Live. "That of course you wouldn't want politicians to do. That's what we are looking at at the moment. It's legally very complex."
Less than a year ago, however, Clegg argued that the home secretary had the authority to see that the NASA hacker was tried on UK soil.
"It's the basic duty of a government to protects its citizens, he told the Daily Mail in July. "It's completely within [then-Home Secretary Alan Johnson's] power to enact amendments ... which would allow Gary McKinnon to be tried over here."
Over the past few weeks, McKinnon supporters have voiced optimism that new Home Secretary Theresa May would intervene and prevent McKinnon's extradition, which has been pending for five years. That hope was largely based on the view that the Conservative Liberal government that just took power would take a firm stance against any extradition.
Last week, a planned judicial review of the case was adjourned so that May could review medical evidence that McKinnon is too mentally vulnerable to handle extradition. He has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism.
More from the Daily Mail is available here. ®

Major automakers recorded another strong month of car and truck sales in March, kicking off the important spring selling season on a good note.
General Motors (GM), Ford Motor (F) and Chrysler Group all posted U.S. sales gains of 5% or better, while Toyota Motor (TM) sales edged up 1% from a year ago. Chrysler Group posted its best sales since December 2007.
Honda (HMC) reported a sales increase of 7.1% vs a year ago, but analysts were expecting its sales to rise between 9% and 10%.
Industry-wide sales came in at an annual rate of 15.27 million, according to sales tracker Autodata, up from 14.14 million a year ago. That's the fifth straight month they've been above 15 million, after going nearly five years without reaching that benchmark.
"American consumers appear to be quite confident in the economy, with snow storms and sequesters not deterring them a bit," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst with Edmunds.com. "The story is the same as it has been: pent-up demand from old vehicles on the road is unleashing, credit is readily available at cheap rates, and new products are resonating with consumers."
Related: Iconic Jeep Cherokee's controversial return
GM and Ford both reported much stronger sales for pickups, SUVs and crossover models than they did for cars, while Chrysler's Ram truck unit also posted a large jump. That could be a sign that lower March gas prices helped bring truck buyers into showrooms.
GM said the rebound in the housing market also helped its truck sales. Sales to small businesses, including building contractors, jumped by nearly 15,000 vehicles at GM, a 32% jump compared to a year ago. The jump in home prices and home sales is leading contractors to start building more new homes than at any time in the last five years.
"We've seen pent-up demand driving car sales for a while now, but we hadn't really seen it in the truck sales," said Jesse Toprak, analyst with sales tracker TrueCar. "Now with the signs of life in construction, we're starting to see that pent-up demand for pickups showing up."
Toprak said another factor lifting car and truck sales is the strong performance of stocks. Record highs for major stock indexes are good news for auto sales, he said. It's not that people are selling stocks to buy vehicles, but when they see better performance in their investments, they are more willing to spend on big ticket items.
"It's a psychological green light that tells them it's OK to pull a trigger on a car purchase," he said.

26 Acts of KindnessPermanent link
It's been really hard for me to wrap my head around what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School less than a week ago. Normally, I'm one who takes note of these horrific stories and then tries to shut them out of my world, avoiding the news so I don't internalize the hurt and suffering.
But this time, watching horror stories on the news day after day and hearing stories of viciously murdered kindergarteners has really broken my heart. The mama in me imagines Colin as an elementary school-age kid, and I literally have no words. Just tears.
So when I heard that my favorite former anchor of the Today Show, Ann Curry, had started a movement via twitter about doing 26 random acts of kindness to commemorate the 26 lives lost in this tragedy, I knew I was in. The tricky part is that with a sick baby and a potential snow storm today, we can't venture too far from home. So we have to start small, with things we can do from home or that require very minimal travel.
Many of you know that in my former life, before the days of stay-at-home-mommy hood, I was the volunteer coordinator at a local nonprofit. I've seen first-hand the wonderful acts of kindness that others can do, and I've already made an effort to teach Colin by example. We've delivered food and purchased Hanukkah gifts for the less fortunate.
But all of those projects have revolved around upcoming holidays, and I love the feeling of doing good because we want to. Not because we're taking part in an organized program or because others are doing it to, but because it's a right and an honor. Because it feels good to give back, and in the wake of such a monumental event, it's a great way to turn something terrible into something positive.
So Colin will help - mostly by being the cute baby that makes others smile, while his mommy does the typing, the driving, the paying and the giving. Here are our first five of our #26 Acts of Kindness:
1) Donating clothes. This is something we do regularly, and I already had a pile of stuff brewing in the closet, so it seemed like a great way to start! Because of our lovely germ-fest going on, we're going to deliver them on Sunday when daddy can watch the dude. We take our clothes to The ARK's Thrift Shop, where ARK clients can shop using vouchers and any money from other sales goes directly back into their budget to fund the awesome work they do!
2) Colin is so lucky to have four wonderful and worldly-wise great-grandparents. And because we live far away from them, we don't get to see them all that often. I thought one of our 26 Acts should be something nice for them, because honestly, if they weren't around, we wouldn't be either! Plus they are the greatest, so here is what we did:
#26 Acts #2: Going online to order and surprise C's great grandparents with photos from his six month portraits - it will definitely brighten their day"
3) This one is my favorite so far. In my work at The ARK, one thing we heard from recipients of aid from the food pantry was the exorbitant cost of diapers. And having a baby myself, I know - diapers are a necessity. So we ventured out for a (not-so) quick errand this afternoon in between Colin's naps, and here is what we did:
If you can't read it, it says, "#26 Acts: #3 Diapers are expensive! Please take and use this gift card to help defray the cost if you are in need of some assistance, and pay it forward by doing something nice for someone else." I hope that whoever sees it takes the message to heart and only takes it if they need it, instead of just seeing it as free money. While we were at Target, we did #4 too.
4) Buy 26+ grocery items for a local food bank. We chose to buy food for the JUF Uptown Cafe's pantry. I talked to Colin while we walked through the grocery aisles about why this mitzvah was important. I am pretty sure he was just interested in the cereal boxes, but hopefully he absorbs some of this :) Below is the face of a boy who needs a nap...
And 5) I've been thinking of one of our pals a lot this holiday season. She's been out of town since before Thanksgiving visiting her family, because her dad has cancer, and she wants to help him and her mom and spend as much time with him as she can. We miss having her and her baby girl around, and we hate to see their family face this kind of pain during the holiday season. Since Colin and I can't cure cancer as act number 5, instead I helped Colin send his first bouquet of flowers to a girl, his pal L, who has a sick grandpa.
I think we are off to a great start!
So, here is the fun part.
Post a comment on my other blog Adventures of the Fried-baby with your idea of a way to do something kind for others that costs $26 or less. Not only do I appreciate your ideas, but on Sunday, I'll do a drawing using a random number generator to pick a winner, and that winner will get a $25 Amazon Gift Card (since they don't sell them in $26 increments) to use to pay it forward to someone else!

Java Tea is a coffee-inspired, handmade, loose leaf tea blend made with organic teas, herbs, flavors and spices, creating a drink that emulates our favorite premium coffee beverages... but they are all made from tea; very, very healthy tea!
All of our drinks are infused with natural green tea extracts -
It is not just the finest ingredients, but the craft in blending. Precision and knowledge to formulate a balance for all 5 senses. Teas that embrace innovation, but love tradition. Carefully made by humans for humans. Ethically harvested. Brilliant to drink.
This is the original blend, where it all started. Made with loads of organic vanilla beans. Inspired by the Vanilla Latte. Crafted as an homage to those who change the world for good.
A charismatic ambassador of peace. Subtle. Sweet. Inspired. The healthier Caramel Macchiato. Made with real caramel creme chunks. Incited by the few who have brought together many.
Harvested fairly and ethically. Filled to the brim with chocolates, this is our Dark Chocolate Mocha infused tea. Motivated by those who have peacefully made a stand against injustice.
Radical in every way. An Espresso style tea with an extreme boost of caffeine. For those unwilling to stay still. Do something.
We make coffee-inspired teas. We are not big. We are not famous. We are simply a few humans whose passion is that other humans would connect on a level that is real.
The story of Java Tea started over 8 years ago, when the world was ruled by overpriced coffee and water-downed teas. Finding a healthy and flavorful beverage was simply challenging. I was an avid coffee drinker but constantly looking for a tea that could stand up to the challenge of "healthy-for-me" bold flavors. This is where Java Tea was born. After 5 yrs. of training under a tea guru in the art of sourcing, blending and balancing, our tea blend began to take shape.
But it was a sabbatical in Italy that birthed the nature, mission, vision and revolution of the Java Tea Company. The espresso speed of life sounds fast, but in Italy, it is a moment frozen in time, an artful appreciation, where the consumer becomes a connoisseur of life, taking in the few minutes while they enjoy their beverage - never to go, never grande. This slow down mentality was incredibly inspiring to me. Made by human hands and not one-button-push robots. Small in size but massive in flavor. Taking the time to take in the moment. This is our DNA. Coffee-Inspired Teas, brewed in an Italian Moka Pot, hand crafted and designed for human connection.
Change Makers - Everything about our teas is intentional. They are hand crafted and human inspired. Motivated by the culture of change and the nature of interconnection. Inspired by Social Movement. Believing that better is possible. Coffee and Tea under one revolutionary banner. So here is to the Diplomats, Liberators, Activists & Revolutionary's. Keep an eye out this year for how we look to contribute to each tea's namesake.
Building Community - Our "Revolution" is one of Human Connection. This is the simplest ideal for Java Tea; that our community would slow down, just for a moment, and experience human connection that is authentic and real... over a Java Tea. Because it is within those intentional spaces of human connection that change happens. Together.
Singers & Speakers - Your voice matters. And you have one. We are designing something specifically for you. July is your month. Stay tuned.
*This process extracts the rich and bold flavors that our tea was intentionally designed for:
Buy everything that is awesome here. Shop our handmade tea blends, tea refills or third party accessories for making the perfect cup of Java Tea.
Our initial launch of Java Tea wouldn't have been possible without the support of those who backed us on Kickstarter. Thank you! And to see a full list of backers click here.
We like ours really really strong so it makes about 16 for us.How does the refill recycle deal work?
To help minimize on the carbon footprint we will sell you a refill bag of any of our teas at a discounted price so you can just pour it back into your canister at home. Cheaper to ship as well, and if you order 3 or more, it's still free!Compared to coffee how much caffeine is in your tea?
The Revolutionary, Diplomat & Liberator all contain less than 10mg of caffeine per serving vs. a cup of coffee that contains roughly 130mg of caffeine. Even a decaffeinated cup of coffee has more caffeine than these teas. The Activist however has 150mg of caffeine per serving which is equivalent to a double espresso.Where else can I buy your teas?
As of right now, our website is the only place to purchase our tea. We prefer it this way so that we can continue to connect one on one with you our community. If you loathe shopping online, worry not, we plan to begin in-store sales soon enough.How long does it take to get my tea once I've purchased it?
We want to get it to you as soon as humanly possible. If you live on the west coast it's about 2-4 days, middle and east coasters it can be up to a week.Will tea stain my teeth?
If you don't brush, I'm pretty sure everything will stain your teeth. Keep it clean.How long will my tea stay fresh/ how should I store it?
Ideal freshness unopened will last up to 18 months and once opened roughly 6-8 months. It is highly advised to store out in the open for all to see but not in direct sunlight.What other ways can I brew this tea besides a Moka Pot?
Here's a few: French Press. Tea Ball. Espresso Machine. Aeropress. Drip. Cold Brewed. Clean Sock. Truthfully, this tea will taste brilliant however you brew it... but you've got to try it in a Moka Pot at least once.×

You DID have a good week! Glad you enjoyed The Catastrophic History of You and Me! I really liked it too. And I'm curious to know what you'll think about Where It Began. I haven't read the copy my store has of it yet, but I'm familiar with some of Stampler's picture books (which are good) and I want to know how she does in the YA genre.ReplyDelete

Privacy Legislation Update: Part 3
The wait is over, but not the debate. Today, U.S. Representatives Rick Boucher (VA-09), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet, and Cliff Stearns, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee, released a discussion draft of legislation to assure the privacy of information about individuals both on the Internet and offline.
Congress may never pass a law, but for now at least, it appears our collective industry efforts to educate House Engergy and Commerce Committee members has paid off. I was especially relieved to read this paragraph about a "carve-out" for ad networks, which speaks directly to the huge educational efforts put forth by the IAB, NAI and several competitors and colleagues alike over the past year:
The bill creates an exception to the opt-in consent requirement for third-party information sharing by applying opt-out consent to the sharing of an individual's information with a third-party ad network if there is a clear, easy-to-find link to a webpage for the ad network that allows a person to edit his or her profile, and if he chooses, to opt out of having a profile, provided that the ad network does not share the individual's information with anyone else.
Consumer privacy groups are not satisfied with the fact that the legislation, as currently drafted, would rely heavily on consumers privacy policies. Yet, it would require companies to allow consumers a higher degree of control over the collection and use of their data. This requirement would be burdensome to advertsing companies, but in the long run may yield higher performance for advertisers and a more relevant experience for consumers.
So it appears the online advertising industry dodged a bullet for now, but there is much more education and debate to unfold in the months ahead.

Peter Wellnhofer holds the distinction of having been the pre-eminent world authority on both Archaeopteryx and the pterosaurs for over 30 years, a distinction enjoyed by few scholars on comparable fossil organisms. This semi-popular, lavishly illustrated, and copiously documented book is the crowning achievement of his work on Archaeopteryx. It comes at an auspicious time, given the Darwin celebrations of 2009 and the role that the world's most famous fossil bird has played in evolutionary theory.
For the readers of NCSE, it should first be said that the "controversy" that Archaeopteryx has traditionally played in the creationist literature (including the more recent instars of the "intelligent design" movement) is not his subject. Wellnhofer feels that NCSE takes care of that very well, which is a real compliment to our organization. This frees him to explore the science of Archaeopteryx. Wellnhofer's approach is fundamentally historical: the background of the story, each specimen, each paleobiological problem, is treated historically and comprehensively. Wellnhofer is in a very good position to do this, because he has surveyed the historical literature in the field for 40 years. His survey reminds us that few ideas are really new, and that even though the internet can bring us scads of recent articles on any subject, this is no excuse for lack of scholarship in ferreting out and reading the older literature. Of course, some of this literature is obscure, not widely accessible, so it is good to have it brought to our attention.
Wellnhofer begins with the town and region of Solnhofen, Bavaria, whence all ten of the skeletal specimens as well as the original feather have come. He situates Solnhofen in its historical, cultural, geographical, and geological context, presenting information that will be unfamiliar to most American readers. The famous Solnhofen limestones, which have been quarried for millennia, represent the bottom of an ancient, relatively quiescent, anoxic lagoon where critters in various stages of decomposition settled and were buried. Occasionally they died in their tracks there, like the fossil crabs that wandered in and found the poisonous environment not to their liking. This also prevented a lot of scavenging and other post mortem biotic destruction of the specimens, and thereby improved fossilization potential.
The bulk of the book concentrates on descriptions, historical accounts, and illustrations of the Archaeopteryx specimens themselves. It is wonderful to have these clear, straightforward descriptions in one place, laid out in simple language with both color photos and concise illustrations. All of these characteristics have been hallmarks of Wellnhofer's work throughout his career, and they should be emulated by all paleontologists. He also provides a comparative table of measurements, all the more reliable for being taken by a single expert researcher.
The final part of the book concerns various issues that have historically involved the Archaeopteryx specimens. How many species are really present? (One) What is the correct nomenclature? (Archaeopteryx lithographica) ... and so on. These questions seem to have easy answers, but they are historically complex. Other questions are less easy to answer. Wellnhofer bends over backward to be open-minded, although some of the more recent literature has rather settled many of these. He is also not much of a cladist, so he does not situate Archaeopteryx into nested sets of shared derived characteristics that demonstrate its phylogenetic position (perhaps to the relief of many readers). On the other hand, his literature review is admirably complete, with the exception of some of the most recent works.
One of the most poignant aspects of the book is Wellnhofer's description of how the friable, easily separated layers of Solnhofen limestones (the Fäulen) are cleared away as rubble, because they can't serve as building or lithographic stone (the Flinze). How many irreplaceable fossils, he wonders, are destroyed by this process? And this is echoed in his afterword, which laments that in Bavaria there is no law to protect the destruction or private sale of such specimens, a problem that has touched several of the ten current skeletal specimens of Archaeopteryx.
Obviously, paleontologists, ornithologists, and fossil fanciers will want this book, but it should also be on the shelves of public and school libraries, because it lays out in clear and unbiased detail the facts that surround the world's most famous fossil and a true icon of evolution. No one is likely to replace this book's scholarship or its production quality for a very long time, so it should be bought and cherished for the future.

Abuse during childhood linked to uterine fibroids in African-American women
According to a new study from the Slone Epidemiology Center (SEC) at Boston University, African-American women who reported sexual or physical abuse before age 11 had a greater risk of uterine fibroids in adulthood compared with women who had no such abuse history. The association was strongest for women who experienced sexual abuse.
The study, which is published online in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, was led by Lauren A. Wise, ScD, senior epidemiologist at SEC and associate professor of epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health.
This study followed 9,910 premenopausal African-American women from the Black Women's Health Study. In 2005, participants provided information on lifetime experiences of physical and sexual abuse during childhood (up to age 11), adolescence (ages 12-18), and adulthood (19 and older). The incidence of fibroids was ascertained from 2005 through 2011.
The results indicate that the incidence of uterine fibroids was increased by 16 percent among women who had been physically abused during childhood and by 34 percent among women who had been sexually abused during childhood. The risk of fibroids increased with increasing severity of child abuse. The results were weaker among women who reported high levels of coping, which is consistent with previous research showing that emotional support may buffer the negative health effects of violence. There was also little indication that abuse during adolescence and adulthood increased the risk of fibroids.
"This is the second prospective study to show an association between childhood abuse and uterine fibroids diagnosed during adulthood," said Wise. She noted that mechanisms might involve the influence of psychosocial stress on the biosynthesis or metabolism of sex steroid hormones, which are thought to be involved in fibroid development and growth. In addition, child sexual abuse is associated with sexually transmitted infections, which may also increase fibroid risk.
The lifetime risk of clinically-relevant uterine fibroids is 30 percent and they are a major contributor to gynecologic morbidity, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility. In the U.S., fibroids account for more than $9.4 billion in health care costs annually and black women are two to three times more likely to be affected by the condition.
"Given the high prevalence of fibroids in African-American women, the association is of public health importance," Wise added.
The Black Women's Health Study (BWHS) is the largest follow-up study of the health of African American women in the U.S. Led by researchers at the SEC, the study has followed 59,000 African-American women through biennial questionnaires since 1995 and has led to a better understanding of numerous health conditions that disproportionately affect African-American women.
Co-authors of the study include Lynn Rosenberg, ScD, principal investigator of the BWHS and professor of epidemiology at BUSPH, and Julie R. Palmer, ScD, professor of epidemiology at BUSPH.
Funding for this study was provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development under grant award # HD069602 and the National Cancer Institute under grant award # CA058420.

Someone Please Run Against This White Supremacist for School Board
Dan Schruender is running for school board in the town of Rialto, California. Schruender is a proud member of the Aryan Nations. He might win, because no one's running against him. Don't let this happen!
Schruender's a retired teacher and a spokesman for the Aryan Nations. In this capacity he walks around Rialto (Population: 93,284) and hand out fliers that explain how the white race is not "going to go out with a whimper."
Schruender launched his campaign with high hopes. He wrote on his blog last Tuesday: "The deadline is this Friday. If no one else files, then I'm in!" But the media picked up the story, and yesterday Schruener lamented that "The Jew Media is really doing a hatchet job on me since they found out I'm running for school board and in the Aryan Nations."
He added: "They got a hold of a photo of me in front of a Swastika, and they're really going to town on me." Stupid sensationalist media, always focusing on somebody's membership in white supremacist groups and pictures of them in front of swastikas instead of their important views on standardized testing. It's unclear if anyone has stepped up to run against Schruender. The school district Schrunder would represent if he won is 75% Latino and 15% black, according to the Contra Costa Times. So, maybe someone should get on that. [LA Weekly]

Every once in awhile I get a wild hair. I was daydreaming about milk glass and how much I really like the effect of chalky painted color inside of a glass vase.
Then it hit me: why not painted candles? I remembered I had some leftover paint specially designed for glass from this project, and some extra glass jars just collecting dust, and I saw some microwaveable candle wax at the craft store, so then my brain started spinning totally out of control.
Here's what I came up with: custom painted glass candles personalized with my own design. A great gift for Mother's Day !
- Specialty paint for glass, available at major craft stores
- Small paintbrush
- Glass jars
- Stickers for words or imprints (see below)
- Microwaveable soy wax
- Wicks
- Essential oil for scent (optional)
Painting the Glass:
The great thing about these glass painting kits is you can mix your own custom colors. Before you apply the paint, adhere stickers to the inside of your glass jars in the design you choose. As you'll see, I experimented with stripes, with leaf stickers, and with an "I Heart You Mom" message. Then give your glass jars a coat of paint on the inside of the glass, covering the stickers.
Remove your stickers very carefully with tweezers, then cure (bake) your glass in the oven as directed on the paint box. (Total curing and cooling time is about an hour).
Adding the Candle Wax:
Soy wax is a great product because it is made from soybeans, so it is all natural and burns clean. And the handy dandy use of the microwave couldn't be easier. Follow the instructions for melting the microwavable wax at home. Add 1/2 teaspoon of essential oils to the melted wax for scented candles. I used organic lavender essential oil from Whole Foods and it smells fabulous.
Two tips for sanity: 1) Use a utensil, like a chopstick, crossed over the top of your jar to support your wick and keep it standing up. 2) Pour the melted wax into a warm, not cold, glass jar to avoid any risk of cracking the glass. I kept my jars warm in the oven until I was ready to pour in the wax.
Why use my Pyrex you might ask? It is glass, has a pour spout, cleans up quick with a paper towel and hot soapy water, and any leftover residue will flake off when I put it in my freezer. (You know that freezing wax removes it from glass, don't you?) And I kinda have a thing against microwaving plastic for long periods of time.
Keep your wicks supported as the candles cool. My cocktail stirrers and a chopstick earned their keep today.
Once your candles have cooled completely (about 90 minutes), doll them up with a personalized tag.
This one's for my hunny and me:
Total project time is about 3 to 4 hours.
If there is one place for improvement, it is in the paint application. A second coat would remove the streaks that appear from just one coat. Even better would be to add a few drops of water to the paint to make its consistency more fluid like, then swirl it around the inside of the glass for smoother coverage.
This is one of those projects I will definitely try again. These make great shower, birthday, or special occasion gifts.
What would your design be?

If the rulers decide it's a cold shutdown, it is a cold shutdown. If enough august entities say it enough times, it must be true.
IAEA's Director General is a former Japanese bureaucrat (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Yukiya Amano, who duly congratulates the Japanese administration for the exemplary job it has done and "significant progress" it has made, as follows:
16 December 2011 | IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano issued the following statement today:
The IAEA welcomes the announcement by the Government of Japan that the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station have achieved a "cold shutdown condition" and are in a stable state, and that the release of radioactive materials is under control.
Overall TEPCO and the Japanese government have made significant progress and have completed the second step of the TEPCO's roadmap by the end of the year as they had planned.
The IAEA is continuing to monitor the status of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and the radiological situation in Japan following the earthquake and tsunami of March 11. The IAEA receives information updates from a variety of official Japanese sources, through the national competent authorities. The Agency continues to stand ready to provide necessary assistance to Japan as requested.
".. national competent authorities", that's too rich.

Hall of Blessings
Friday, 2 June 2006
Your Eminence,
Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate,
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
Today, I am pleased to meet in the Vatican with the personnel of the Catholic daily, Avvenire, of the television channel, Sat2000, of the radio broadcasting station InBlu, and of the press agency, Sir.
This is a very important group in the media connected with the Italian Bishops' Conference, which is represented here by its President, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, to whom I first extend my respectful greeting.
I then greet with affection each one of you, and I thank the Director of Avvenire and of Sat2000 for the kind words on behalf of everyone present.
Dear friends, you carry out a truly important role: your contribution, in fact, gives continuity to the commitment of Italian Catholics to bring Christ's Gospel to the life of the Nation.
I am pleased to remember, in fact, that in the years immediately following the Council, Paul VI strongly desired that Avvenire be founded as the national Catholic newspaper. It was a courageous decision to then extend your commitment to the field of radio and television broadcasting, using the most modern technologies as the conciliar Decree Inter Mirifica had hoped (cf. nn. 13-14).
You have thus become one of the instruments for the dissemination of the Christian message in Italy.
Faith and culture
To grasp the overall significance of the work to which you dedicate yourselves every day, it might be helpful to reflect briefly on the relations between faith and culture as they have developed in recent decades.
As you know well, Christianity helped to shape European culture down the centuries.
With the advent of Illuminism, Western culture began to drift more and more swiftly away from its Christian foundations. Especially in the most recent period, the break-up of the family and of marriage, attacks on human life and its dignity, the reduction of faith to a subjective experience and the consequent secularization of public awareness are seen as the stark and dramatic consequences of this distancing.
Yet, in various parts of Europe experiences and forms of Christian culture exist that are growing stronger or re-emerging with increased vitality. In particular, the Catholic faith is still substantially present in the life of the Italian People, and the signs of its renewed vitality are visible to all.
In your work as communicators inspired by the Gospel, constant discernment is therefore essential.
As you know well, the Pastors of the Church in Italy are anxious to preserve those Christian forms that derive from the great tradition of the Italian People and mould community life, bringing them up to date, purifying them where necessary, but above all reinforcing and encouraging them.
It is also your task to sustain and promote the new Christian experiences that are being born, and to help them to develop an ever clearer awareness of their own ecclesial roots and of the role that they can play in the society and culture of Italy.
All this, dear friends, is part of your daily labour, of a task that must not be carried out in an abstract or purely intellectual way, but with attention to the thousands of aspects of the practical life of a people, its problems, its needs and its hopes.
May the certainty that the Christian faith is open to "whatever is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, gracious" in the culture of peoples, as the Apostle Paul taught the Philippians (cf. 4: 8), sustain you and give you courage in your labours.
Thus, continue in your work with this spirit and this attitude, bearing a shining witness of a profoundly Christian life and consequently remaining tenaciously united to Christ, so that you can look at the world with his own eyes.
Be happy to belong to the Church and to add your voice and your reasoning to the great communications circuit. Never grow weary of building bridges of understanding and communication between the ecclesial experience and public opinion. In this way you will be protagonists of a form of communication that is not evasive but friendly to the service of our contemporaries.
I warmly hope that Catholics and all Italians desirous of authentic values will give their attention and support to this communication.
For my part, I assure you of my constant closeness, and in order that your work may bear ever more abundant fruit, I impart with affection to you and your families the Apostolic Blessing, which favours the light and strength that only God can instil in the hearts of his children.

The Secret Beyond Matter
|"Representatives of member countries of the OIC and the Arab Group have placed on record THEIR BELIEF THAT TURKISH MEMBERSHIP WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WORLD PEACE. It has been learned that while thanking Babacan for his efforts to make the Middle East a place of peace, the Arab Group and OIC member country representatives regard temporary Turkish membership as very good timing. IOC member country representatives also expressed their pleasure at seeing Turkey on their side on all matters, and it was noted that they greatly appreciated Turkish officials' quest for a solution to the problems of less developed countries."
"Support from 55 OIC members for Security Council membership"
Daily Zaman, 19 May 2008
"Full support from the Arab world for Turkey"
Daily Yeni Asya, 25 July 2008
|MPL TV- April 23, 2008
MPL: In addition to the theory of evolution, you are also very active regarding the Turkish-Islamic Union. You have made progress. They do want Turkey to lead it, do they not? But why should Turkey lead it? What does Turkey have to gain?
ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey has the experience of state. It has the experience of empire. It is experienced in managing other countries. And it has the ability. The Turkish nation has also remained unsullied. I mean, Anatolia has remained morally uncorrupted. Anatolia has been preserved as it was. Its hospitality, cleanliness, moral virtues, pleasantness, humanity, conception of good neighborliness, compassion and altruism have remained as they were. Europe has lost these. Since these moral values still survive unchanged and since it is the Turks who best apply them, it would seem that it is the Turkish nation that is most able and best suited. I am not the only one to say this. WHICHEVER MUSLIM STATE YOU GO TO, THEY ARE SAYING THE SAME THING THERE, TOO. COME AND LEAD US... EVERYONE SHALL KEEP THEIR OWN STATE, BUT THERE MUST BE A SPIRITUAL UNION. THAT IS THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION since all the Turkic countries are Muslim. This is huge element for equilibrium in the region. Its greatest advantage will be the immediate ending of terror. No such thing as terror will remain. Terror will be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Secondly, there will be an enormous economic revitalization. Most importantly, however, it will lead to peace and well-being. Everyone will be at ease, the atheist as well as the true believer. Christians, Jews and even Buddhists will enjoy greater ease in an Islamic society, a society in which Islamic moral values prevail. That is why it will be enormously beneficial for Islamic moral values to prevail in the region, in the Missle East and in the Turkish-Islamic Union. That is a matter of urgency.
|Konya TV-January 29, 2008
ADNAN OKTAR: This is favourable to America. Anarchy will come to an end as soon as an Islamic Union, a Turkish-Islamic Union is established. Terrorism will stop at once, and there will be great wealth and plenty.
ADNAN OKTAR: TURKEY WILL BE A MAJOR STATE. INSHAALLAH, IT WILL LEAD THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC WORLD. Turkey is in any case free, but it will be even freer and more democratic. InshaAllah, it will be even better.
KON TV: So you really believe that Turkey can occupy a leadership position in all these conditions?
ADNAN OKTAR: Our nation is excellent in nature and QUITE CAPABLE OF LEADING.

Red Bull KTM factory rider and title-holder Cyril Despres fought a close battle with Spaniard Joan Barreda in Stage 10 of the Dakar 2013 to finish just one minute 15 behind his rival. The French rider now to secure a narrow lead in the overall standings in front of factory teammate Ruben Faria of Portugal, who secured eighth place in the stage.
Despres, who is now looking settled and determined to go for his fifth Dakar title made the breakthrough on Monday when he won the longest stage in this year's edition after an eventful first half of the rally. But he was quick to brush off suggestions that his luck had changed and told journalists it was much more "..about experience and preparation and training and bringing all the right elements together at the right moment".
Speaking of Tuesday's stage Despres said it was at 'cruising pace'. "With a motivated Joan Barreda on my tail, you can't slow down. I managed to keep the pace. The bike again worked well and suffered less than yesterday. The selective side is what makes the Dakar different and stand out when compared to all the other rallies. Picking up seconds in the general standings is not the most important thing. What matters is making statements, making a difference, gaining in confidence and letting the racing do the talking."
KTM factory teammate Joan Pedrero also delivered a strong performance in Tuesday's 357 km timed special on the road from Cordoba to La Rioja in Argentina to finish in fourth place just four minutes 27 behind the stage leader. The team's Dakar rookie Kurt Caselli also delivered another great stage, finishing in fifth place – just under seven minutes behind Pedrero. The American trails in the overall standings after picking up a total of 3 hours 20 in penalties for missing checkpoints and waypoints in Stage Seven but continues to deliver impressive stage results.
Despres as Monday's stage winner was charged with opening the road that offered Enduro-like terrain that was technically demanding, fast and physically tiring coming off the longest stage in the 2013 edition the previous day. And while the French rider kept a narrow lead for most of the special, Barreda was always close behind and made his attack in the latter part of the day's times ride.
The KTM riders and machines are now looking very good in the overall standings with Chilean rider 'Chaleco' Lopez in overall third place with a deficit of 13 minutes 41 and Slovak Ivan Jakes (KTM) in fourth overall. Riders in the KTM factory B Team – Riaan Van Niekerk (South Africa), 'Kuba' Przygonski (Poland) and Darryl Curtis (South Africa) are currently fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth respectively.
With the longest parts of the rally already under their wheels, riders face just 221 of timed special in Wednesday's Stage Eleven with a total ride of 483 km that takes them from La Rioja to Fiambala on the Argentinean side of the Andes where they will again prepare for the attack on the dreaded Atacama Desert in Chile as the rally caravan heads back over the mountains towards the Pacific for the final push at the end of the week to the finish at Santiago.
Team manager Alex Doringer said that riders and teams were suffering from the extreme heat up to 43 degrees Celsius and warned that Wednesday's stage will be hard for all. "Navigation will be very difficult and this is a stage that will be tough on both the riders and the bikes," he said.
