"Dad, if you could be any person in the world, who would you be?"
Whenever I hear that question, or something similar, I think "trick question." It's like the "do I look fat in these jeans?" question. There's no real right answer, only answers that can get me in trouble.
So I tip-toed around it. "I don't know, honey, I'm pretty happy being me, you know minus some pounds."
"I'd be Hermione Granger," she screeches back without a bit of hesitation.
For the uninformed (which was me up until about 3 months ago) Hermione Granger is part of the J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, the smarty-pants girl who keeps Harry and Ron Weasley on the straight and narrow. It's not a bad choice for my daughter. Hermoine is uber-smart, very loyal and courageous. Not a bad set of values for a wizard, or a 7-year old.
Maren got her first Harry Potter book for Christmas and while she is a very good reader, they were a little too much for her to digest. She's been tearing through Boxcar Children's books for a couple of months, but we have had to work on understanding what we are reading and not just reading for the sake of, you know, reading.
So far Harry Potter's been extraordinarily enjoyable for both of us. Since she can't quite read them and I've never read them before, we've read bunches of pages every night before bed. Since Christmas we've knocked out the first two years (books) and are now 50 or so pages into the third book.
They have cost each of us some sleep. On Thursday night there was about 50 pages or so left in the second book. I finished a chapter, shut the book and looked at her and her eyes were like saucers. "Couple of more pages, pleeeeez," she begged. Forty pages later we're still going and I hear "it's five minutes until 9, put the book down!"
At that point, there was no stopping the Bowman Reading Tandem. We were finishing it, no matter how mad mom got.
I love to read books myself because I love reading good writing, sometimes dreaming I will one day be able to write like that. But it's a thousand times more enjoyable reading to her and now she and her little brother crawl up on a chair together and she reads to him. Makes me melt every time.

KINGFIELD (AP) — The organization that's developing a backcountry network of huts along 180 miles of trails in western Maine has a new executive director.
Maine Huts and Trails has named Charlie Woodworth to head the Kingfield-based organization. Woodworth is an avid outdoorsman and a longtime Yarmouth resident who is relocating to Kingfield.
He replaces Nicole Freedman, who has returned to Boston to be executive director of bicycle programs for the city.
Maine Huts and Trails was formed with the long-term aim of building 12 overnight shelters and non-motorized trails stretching from near the New Hampshire border to the Moosehead Lake region. Each shelter has a main lodge, private rooms with beds, hot showers and home-cooked meals.
So far, the organization has built four huts and created 80 miles of trails.

Detailed on the official Kogan blog earlier today, the Australian electronics retailer is now adding on a 6.8 percent tax into the shopping cart of any customers that try to checkout using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7. According to the post, the retailer came up with the 6.8 percent figure by adding up 0.1 percent for each month that Internet Explorer 7 have been available. Since the Web development team has to spend extra time and money on creating a friendly version of the site for Internet Explorer 7 users, the retailer believes that the company is justified passing that cost to customers that still haven't upgraded to a newer version of Internet Explorer.
Within the example shown on the blog, the price of a 46-inch high definition LED TV is raised from $639 to $682.45 after the IE7 tax was added into the purchase price. In order to get the $639 price, the customer only has to update their version of Internet Explorer or simply use an alternate Web browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Apple's Safari.
The customer is alerted to the fact that they are using Internet Explorer 7 with a pop-up window that includes links to download the other browsers. As indicated in the pop-up window, the customer may be at the mercy of their company's system administrator if they are attempting to make a purchase on a computer in the workplace. This tax was implemented after Kogan completely redesigned the site during late May 2012 in order to speed up load times, launch more effective methods of customer communication with live chat and improve search filters.
Support for Internet Explorer 7 has waned considerably over the past year. During August 2011, Google stopped supporting Internet Explorer 7 in regards to Google Apps support. That includes applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar and Google Talk. At the end of December 2011, Facebook stopped supporting Internet Explorer 7 when the social network launched Facebook Timeline to a larger number of users. While these two cases are a nuisance for anyone that refuses to upgrade Internet Explorer, the Kogan tax is the first case of a company actually punishing users for operating a browser that's over five years old.

Sept. 15, 2002
St. Louis, Mo. -
Senior forward Rob Friend scored his fifth goal of the season, one in each match, to lead the UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team to a 4-1 win at the Nike Classic in St. Louis, Missouri. The victory allowed the Gauchos to remain perfect on the year at 5-0-0.
Friend scored at 37:06 mark in the first half on an assist by Memo Arzate. Gene Deering scored at the 53:08 mark, also on assist by Arzate, to make the score 2-0 Gauchos. Just over eight minutes later, UCSB struck again, this time on a penalty kick by Drew McAthy.
Jon Apilado capped the scoring with a goal at the 87:46 mark off of an assist from Matt Kubota. Southwest Missouri scored its only goal in the final minute of the match. Matt Siegal scored unassisted off of a failed clearing by UCSB.
Santa Barbara had four players named the Nike Classic All-Tournament team in claiming the tourney title by virtue of goal differential over Saint Louis. Forwards Rob Friend and Gene Deering were each recognized as both players each scored a both in each game. Midfielder Memo Arzate assisted on three goals in the two games to be honored. And defender Alan Keely was also named to the all-tourney team, captaining a defense that gave up just two goals.
In their five matches, the Gauchos have outscored their opponents 21-7. UCSB returns to action on Saturday, September 21 to host crosstown rival Westmont College in a 7:00 p.m. match at Harder Stadium.

What would you do if you saw a pregnant woman smoking? One Washington man had an unusually violent reaction to this when he pulled a gun on an eight-months-pregnant woman who lit up, reports CBS News.
Plus: Top 50 Pregnancy Dos and Don'ts
The man was driving when he spotted the woman walking and smoking. He allegedly shouted, "Who the heck smokes when they're pregnant?", and the woman replied, "I do." This led to a verbal confrontation, which escalated when the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at her. The woman called 911, and the police arrested the man and found two handguns in his car.
Plus: Our Pregnancy Blogger Asks: Would You Say Something to a Smoking Pregnant Woman?
Smoking while pregnant is a definite no-no, but pulling a gun on her (and her unborn child) kind of undercuts your position. Would you have said something to the pregnant woman? What do you think should happen to the man who pulled the gun? Tell us in the comments.

We read the memo and believed that some major thought went into this thing, and thus there must be some other motive -- involved with the court case -- that put this thing into action.
But after listening to Chatelain on KFAB's Tom Becka show (on 12/8 at 5pm), we are re-thinking it a little. (By the way, in all this MSRC spokesman Jeremy Aspen comes off as the calm, rational one of the whole bunch.)
Instead of being some grand legal plan, we are more inclined to think that Chatelain is simply hurt, bitter and defensive about his dealings with Dave Nabity and the MSRC and decided to hit Nabity before Nabity hit him.
Dave Nabity made it pretty clear that he was extremely critical to Chatelain and had his own ideas about how the MSRC should be run.
So when it got out that Nabity was putting together his own organization to support the recall, Chatelain, Pat McPherson and Jim Cleary got out in front of it with the memo.
In it they not only knocked Nabity for allegedly being heavy handed in his views about running the committee. But they also have essentially alleged that if there was any legal wrongdoing regarding the paid circulators, it is on Nabity.
Now, as we have said, unless the MSRC folks are very, very confident that they are going to win the court case AND the eventual January recall election, this was a very short-sighted bet. And even worth the potential return? Not sure we see it.
Sure it provides them some CYA if the court case goes against them. And it hits Nabity early as being over ambitious, or whatever.
But what if it simply gives the Anti-recallers ammo, or results in the tide turning against the recall?
Then it becomes bitter retribution that benefits only Jim Suttle.
We will know how this all turns out in a just a little over a month (potentially).
In the mean time, never a dull moment, eh?
**UPDATE Thurs evening**
From Jeremy Aspen of the Mayor Suttle Recall Committee:
Rg: Letter Issued by John Chatelain on December 8th, 2010
As a committee we want to clarify that the letter issued by John Chatelain on December 8th, to the press was not approved nor does it reflect the beliefs of the Mayor Suttle Recall Committee. The opinions and facts as see through his eyes remain solely his.
We welcome any efforts that individuals or organizations may have or will contribute to our cause and moreover are honored by their participation.
As a committee we remain steadfast in our endeavor to recall the mayor.The release was signed personally by the rest of the committee.
So there ya go.

Baby-Friendly Beef
Beef is a good source of protein, B vitamins and iron for babies. To keep it digestible for tiny stomachs, choose a lean cut. Top sirloin steak is a good choice in this respect. Choose organic beef if you can, or grass-fed if available: this type is higher in healthful omega-3 fats than corn-fed beef.

Butternut and acorn squash are great starter foods, mild and easy to digest. Orange-fleshed squashes are rich in the antioxidant beta-carotene as well as vitamins A and C, minerals and fiber. Look for precut squash or choose frozen squash—no need to thaw it before popping it in the oven.

Once your baby has tried apple puree on its own a few times, give her a mealtime vitamin boost by adding squash. Summer squashes, such as pattypan, crookneck and zucchini, make good starter vegetables—mild and digestible, they offer many vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A, magnesium and potassium.

Baby's Favorite Warm Cereal
It's not too early to start teaching your baby to appreciate whole grains. Nowadays it's possible to find brown rice baby cereal and whole-grain oat baby cereal, but barley can be harder to find in prepared cereal form.

TUCSON, Ariz. – It was a game that took 45 minutes to play, but less than one-tenth of a second determined which team would leave the arena with a win in the record column.
After about five minutes of reviewing on a courtside monitor whether Arizona's Nic Wise's 3-pointer at the buzzer was released before time expired, the Pac-10 officiating crew determined the shot was good giving Arizona the 83-82 overtime win against Lipscomb at the McKale Center in Tucson, Arizona.
Lipscomb (4-7) played their best game of the season against an Arizona (5-5) squad picked to finished fourth in the Pac-10 conference.
"We hung in there and grew up as a team tonight," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "We kept battling and battling through adverse situations."
Junior center Adnan Hodzic was stellar for the Bisons. He finished with a career high 34 points on 14-of-21 shooting. Hodzic also grabbed a season high 13 rebounds, one off his career mark.
"I was just a little extra focused," Hodzic said. "My uncle died (on Monday) and he and I were close. I wanted to dedicate this game to him. I just wanted to do what I can to help the team to win. It doesn't matter how many points I scored. It was just an exciting game.''
He scored 13 of Lipscomb's first 18 points to open the contest. A jumper in the paint at the 10:40 mark in the first half gave Lipscomb an 18-17 lead which they would hold onto for the next 24 minutes.
"He's good as advertised," said Sanderson. "He can score on just about everybody down in the low post. He was terrific again today."
The Bisons took a 34-30 lead into the locker room. Hodzic hit two free throws and nailed a jumper to open the second period and give Lipscomb an eight-point lead, its largest of the game, with 17:10 left.
Arizona took the lead back after a 6-0 run to take a 54-52 lead with 6:44 left in regulation. Arizona, which reached the Sweet 16 last year, held the lead for the rest of the second period except nine seconds after Hodzic hit a jumper with 2:10 left.
Wise hit two free throws with 11.2 seconds on the clock to put Arizona up three. The Wildcats, who had only been whistled for two fouls in the second half to Lipscomb's 13, fouled three consecutive times trying to force Lipscomb into the bonus and to the free throw line.
Sanderson called his last timeout with 7.8 seconds left. Arizona did not foul coming out of the timeout and Brian Wright drained a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds to tie the game at 69 forcing overtime. Wright finished with 15 points and shot four-of-six from the 3-point line.
Arizona's Lamont Jones hit three consecutive long-balls to open overtime. Wright, Jordan Burgason, and Johnny Lee each responded with 3-pointers and Adnan Hodzic hit the front end of two free throws to give Lipscomb a 79-78 lead with 32.8 seconds remaining in the extra period.
Wise fouled Hodzic to send him to the line for a one-an-one attempt with 4.7 seconds left. He hit the first attempt, but missed the second which was rebounded by Arizona and quickly pushed up the court for Wise's three.
Lipscomb outrebounded Arizona 37-31. Hodzic had six offensive boards as part of his team-high 13. Derrick Williams led Arizona with nine rebounds.
Sanderson switched up his starting lineup giving the nod to Johnny Lee and Jordan Burgason replacing Josh Slater and Brandon Brown.
Burgason struggled from the field shooting 2-of-11, but finished with a strong stat line of eight points, five rebounds, five assists (one turnover) and one steal.
The Bisons were whistled for 27 fouls to Arizona's 15. Arizona was 26-of-36 from the free throw line led by Wise who was 12-of-12 and finished with 26 points. Lipscomb was 11-of-15 from the charity stripe.
Lipscomb used a constant mix of defenses to keep Arizona at bay.
"We mixed it up between man and zone which kept them off balance," Sanderson said. "I liked out we played defensively."
The Bisons will return to their respective homes Tuesday for Christmas before returning to practice Sunday evening. Lipscomb does not play until Jan. 2 when they host Stetson in Allen Arena.
"If we take this and learn from it, tonight's game will be a great learning experience," Sanderson said. "To play in this kind of environment and to make plays late in the game to give us a shot to win will do nothing but help us."

Exhibition designers appointed
Highly regarded creative team Real Studios Ltd has been appointed as exhibition designers for the new galleries in Tomorrow's Museum for Dorset. Real Studios is renowned for a pioneering interpretive approach, having worked on such diverse high profile commissions as The Lapworth Museum of Geology at University of Birmingham (as pictured above), The Staffordshire Hoard at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, David Bowie Is at the V & A, and Celtic Art and Design at the British Museum.
Real Studios will be working alongside the museum's own Interpretation Development team to develop the designs and themes that tell the story of 200 million years of Dorset. Commenting on the Tomorrow's Museum project, Real Studios co-founder and creative director, Yvonne Golds said "We are thrilled to be developing a 21st century exhibition space for the unique collections at Dorset County Museum, which deserve to be displayed in world class surroundings."
In the newly transformed museum, visitors will experience the full breadth of the collections for the first time. A series of galleries will tell the story of 200 million years of Dorset history.
The first gallery that visitors encounter on the ground floor, the Natural Dorset Gallery will cover 200 million years of natural history. Highlighting the Museum's Geology and Natural History collections, visitors will explore how we experience the environment, how it has inspired curiosity and imagination, and how we can be more involved in conserving it for the future.
Another gallery, Peoples' Dorset, will tell the story of Dorset's people, from around 400,000 BC up to the present day. Using items from the museum's internationally significant Archaeology, Social History, Costume and Textiles, Fine Art and Literary collections, it will create an engaging, people-centred narrative, exploring how Dorset's landscape has shaped the lives of its inhabitants. Coming right up to the present day, the idea of place, and peoples' experience of it, will be a central theme.
Creative Dorset comprises two linked galleries, Writers' Dorset and Artists' Dorset. In the first of these, visitors will enjoy the museum's highly significant literary collections, particularly the Thomas Hardy collection. Hardy's life, the 'partly real, partly dream' Dorset he wrote about, and the wider story of how his work still resonates today will be interwoven into a compelling narrative. Dorset's dialect poet, William Barnes, will be another important figure in the gallery.
Artists' Dorset will utilise the Museum's stunning collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture to demonstrate how artists have been inspired by the county's unique geology, landscape and way of life. A showpiece large window in the gallery space will provide a panoramic view beyond Dorchester to the water meadows just outside the town and the rolling hills beyond, allowing visitors themselves to be inspired by the county's beautiful landscape.
As an integral part of the creative design phase, Real Studios and the museum's in-house interpretation team are consulting with voluntary curators and other staff members to shape these ideas as part of the evolving architectural design and activity plan.

I have recently come to the conclusion that atheists, over the centuries, have slowly been corralled into a type of monoatheism, where we have become 'without one god'. However, if we go back to the original, classical view of atheism (from the Greek period), it actually meant that atheists were 'without the practise of fabricating supernatural stories'.
The Greeks fabricated a multitude of gods for everything, whether it be a geological, physiological or neurological phenomena. They had gods for love, earthquakes, plagues, hatred, disabilities, floods, volcanoes, jealousy etc. So when an earthquake or plague hit the Greeks, most of them attributed the phenomena to one of these godly creations. They would pray to that god and believe, regardless of the evidence, that they were safer for it. Some Greeks however, wondered why it really happened? They wondered what could be done to really make it safer?" These Greeks were atheists.
And atheists still think like this today. Most atheists I chat to don't believe in any of the gods, any of the fairies, any of the goblins, witches, unicorns, angels, demons, mediums, fortune tellers, Leprechauns, astrologists, clairvoyants, faith healers etc. However, we continue to be seen in the light of only one god. I think this is wrong.
Ironically, I have also realised that most religious people are atheistic in their lives. They don't believe in supernatural stories either... except for the stories that they have been indoctrinated into! Jews don't believe that Ganesh came back to life after he had been beheaded by his father (Shiva), by having an elephant's head placed upon his shoulders; but they do believe that Moses had a sorcerer's stand off with Egyptian priests, turning sticks into snakes! Muslims don't believe that Jesus came back to life and flew up to Heaven to be at his father's side; but they do believe that Mohammad flew up to Heaven on a white winged horse and chatted with Jesus!
If religious people can believe that most of these stories are untrue, why can't atheists believe that all of the stories are untrue?
I would like to be so bold as to redefine atheism. Atheism is the acceptance that it is better to try and understand the universe as it is rather than fabricate supernatural stories. In other words, it is better to face reality than to make stuff up!
This way, when religious people ask us, "Why don't you believe in god?", we can answer, "Which one?" We can then ask them, "Why don't you believe in unicorns or goblins etc?" Since I have started using this tactic, it has worked very well. Give it a try;)

I don't know why you think that we have been corralled I haven't experienced such a phenomenon. One aphorism which I like to trot out to theists now and then is "I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one less god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." Attributable to one Stephen F. Roberts. I came across a defence against this observation here:-
Parchment and Pen Blog
Why the "I justbelieve in one less God than you" argument does not work.
But C. Michael Patton, the author of the above blog just makes a case of special pleading for his own variety of god. In his view, his god is particular and unique among gods. Well I reckon that believers in other gods may have been just as sure of the uniqueness and truth of their god variants.
In Christianity for example; their theology says that if before you die, you do not accept Christ as the one true son of the one true god, (theirs), you'll go to hell. Go tell that to the Muslims. Try it on the Hindus.

The headline over a science story in The Times this week read, "In a Universe of Wonders, Remembering to Be Awed." That reminded me of a conversation I had when I covered the Showtime Lakers 20 years ago.
Bill Dwyre, the sports editor, summoned me to his office one day and warned me about my cynicism, borne no doubt of covering too many Cub games for a Chicago newspaper. He told me to maintain a critical eye but also to make sure that I provided readers with a sense of how special that team was. I should, in short, remember to be awed.
It wasn't difficult. With Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, it seemed at the time that the Lakers had the basketball equivalent of Ruth and Gehrig.
There was a question in the early '80s about whether it was Kareem's team or Magic's team, but it was clear not much longer into the decade that it was Magic's.
Abdul-Jabbar was "Cap" to his teammates, an acknowledgment of his role as the captain and, I assume, his stature in the game.
But Pat Riley told me once that the players thought Abdul-Jabbar, because of his appearance on the court--his height, the way he flapped his arms when he ran, his aviator goggles--and his standoffish demeanor off the court, was goofy. That was his word. Goofy.
His teammates used to enjoy games more when he wasn't in them, because of an injury or one of his frequent migraines. Riley called them "the Greyhounds" because, without having to wait for Abdul-Jabbar to set up the offense, they could run for 48 minutes.
Of course, they had to have known in their heart of hearts that they wouldn't win as many titles as they eventually did--five--without him. He had the greatest offensive weapon in the game's history, the unblockable sky hook, and used it to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
His rebounding was often criticized, not unfairly. Annual stories in the Herald-Examiner quoting Wilt Chamberlain on that subject infuriated Abdul-Jabbar so much that he stopped talking to the paper's beat writer, Rich Levin.
Abdul-Jabbar, though, was underappreciated defensively. His role in initiating the heralded Laker fastbreaks with blocked or altered shots was often obscured by the resultant coast-to-coast charge of the lighter brigade that almost invariably ended with a basket after a brilliant pass by Johnson.
What more can be said about Magic? He hardly ever failed to live up to his nickname. Almost nightly, he did something that I had never seen anyone, including him, do before.
Some teammates, Norm Nixon in particular, weren't as convinced as the fans were when Johnson arrived in 1979 that he was the miracle child. Ironically, he won over teammates in the same moment that he, at least temporarily, lost many fans.
That was on the night in 1981 in Salt Lake City that he demanded to be traded because he didn't believe either he or the Lakers could reach their potential with the half-court offense coach Paul Westhead was trying to teach them. Westhead was fired the next day and Johnson, as the inmate who supposedly was running the asylum, was booed, even in the Forum.
The fans eventually forgot, but Johnson's teammates didn't. Most of them didn't like Westhead's system, either, but they didn't say anything publicly for fear of the backlash. It was a different time, and they didn't know how it would be received if black players criticized a white coach.
So Johnson did it for them. One reason was that he could. Jerry Buss wasn't going to fire him. The other reason was that he knew it was his responsibility if he wanted to become the team leader, which, by virtue of his action, he did on that night in Utah.
His teammates would follow him anywhere, a faith rewarded most definitively a few years later when he led them down the fire escape after their Philadelphia hotel almost went up in smoke.
One question that comes up a lot these days is whether the Kobe- Shaq Lakers could beat the Kareem-Magic Lakers. It's possible if it were a two-on-two game and they were the only ones playing.
But the Showtime Lakers had incredible depth and would have won a series between them, in five or six games I believe, because of that. The 1982-83 Lakers had Michael Cooper, James Worthy and Bob McAdoo on the bench. Think about that.
Abdul-Jabbar couldn't have stopped Shaquille O'Neal and vice versa. Cooper, the defender Larry Bird respected more than any other, would have done better than any of today's defenders on Kobe Bryant, particularly when you consider Bryant would have been drained from guarding Johnson. Who else would you have do it? The 6-foot-1 while standing on a phone book Derek Fisher?
Much has been made of the current Lakers' competitiveness, particularly during the Sacramento series, and you can't argue with their playoff tenacity. But they don't provide the same value to ticket buyers during the regular season as Showtime's Lakers did.
I never saw them take a night off. Because of the grinding travel schedule, and maybe because of extracurricular activities that came to light after Johnson's HIV diagnosis, they weren't always sharp in every game. But I never thought it was because of a lack of effort.
Those Lakers wanted to win every time out, even if the game wasn't basketball.
After The Times' Steve Springer, covering for the Orange County Register at the time, beat McAdoo in table tennis one night in Richfield, Ohio, McAdoo bought a Ping-Pong table for the game room in his apartment complex in West L.A. and practiced all summer for a rematch.
McAdoo was derided in Boston for not playing the Celtic way, but he was a determined Laker, never backing down from anything. He was so convinced that he was the best player on the team in every sport, from bowling to yachting, that Johnson once said, "Anything you do, Doo do better."
Phil Jackson got the better of Riley when they were rival coaches in the Eastern Conference. But Jackson's Chicago Bulls had Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen and Riley's New York Knicks had Patrick Ewing and John Starks. I'd like to see Riley against Jackson in a fair fight.
To Riley's credit, even after he was promoted from assistant to head coach 12 games into the 1981-82 season, he defended Westhead. Riley appreciated Westhead's offense, believing the Lakers needed to learn it in case they found themselves mired in a half-court game, as they had the season before in losing a first-round playoff series against Houston.
Riley installed the offense before the playoffs in '82, but in bits and pieces instead of all at once so that the players hardly cared or even noticed.
Referring to the short time Riley had spent as a sidekick to Chick Hearn, Larry Brown said in '82 that coaches should be embarrassed because "a broadcaster" had won the title.
That was as unfair as any comment I've ever heard. I'm not sure when Riley ever slept. When he wasn't watching films after games, he was on the phone with his psychologist-wife, Chris, talking about his relationship with his players. They had a lot to talk about.
Nixon was the most tempestuous player and frequently challenged Riley. I asked Riley once why he put up with it.
"Because if I break him in the locker room, I might break him on the court," Riley said. "I don't want to do that."
Nixon is still dogged. I saw him a couple of years ago at the Kentucky Derby and, 17 years after the fact, he asked me why I'd written that the Lakers had done the right thing in trading him for Byron Scott in 1983.
Because Nixon's best position was point guard, where the Lakers had Johnson, and because his knees were almost shot. Scott was a young off-guard. But I conceded that the Lakers probably wouldn't have lost in the 1984 Finals against Boston if Nixon had been there with his experience and fire. Then again, maybe they wouldn't have won in '85 if not for Scott's outside shooting.
If the Rileys' phone bills were exorbitant, no doubt it was because they spent so much time discussing Cooper.
He didn't mind coming off the bench, as long as he knew he was going to get his minutes. Once, when he didn't during the first half of a game in Detroit, he told Springer and me that he wanted to talk to us immediately after the game.
But by the time we got to his locker, the trainer, Jack Curran, had already talked him off the ledge.
"I'm just ... hey, Jack, what's that word you used?" Cooper said, yelling across the room to Curran.
"Paranoid," Curran said.
"Yeah," Cooper said, "paranoid."
He remains the only Laker ever voted defensive player of the year. The only shooting guard or small forward he couldn't guard was Walter Davis.
After a playoff game once in Phoenix, Riley congratulated Cooper on the game he'd had against Davis.
"But Pat," I said, "you had Nixon on Davis most of the game."
"Yeah," Riley said, winking, "but Coop doesn't know that."
Levin used to carry a screw with him. When Cooper would start on one of his rants, Levin would dig into his pocket, pull out the screw and say, "Coop, here's your loose screw."
One thing that both L.A. Laker dynasties had going for them--besides Hearn--was that Jerry West built them. Now that he's gone to Memphis, you have to wonder if there will be a Mitch Kupchak dynasty.
If there isn't, it won't be because Kupchak is less committed to winning. I'll never forget the '85 Finals, when Kupchak, by then a slow and earthbound but gritty reserve power forward, was knocking Celtics all over the parquet floor.
"Mitch, what are you doing?" an exasperated Kevin McHale asked him at one point in a game in Boston.
Bird was disgusted by the question because the answer was so obvious to him.
"He's playing for the championship," Bird said.

Uber Vol.1 reprints issues 0-5 of Avatar's "super-powered Nazis" series from writer Kieron Gillen and illustrator Caanan White along with a wealth of supplemental material. Per that material (and Gillen's workblog) he was approached by Avatar Publisher William Christensen in 2008 with a "Nazi's invent superheroes" pitch. Issues 0-2 were written over the next few years with White penciling along a similar timeline, having left the project for another long form work that has yet to be published. Everything from issue 3 on was written starting in 2012.
I mention the project's history mostly to point out Gillen's skill as a writer, in 2008 his only superhero work was a one-shot tied to Marvel's aborted newuniversal relaunch. Other than that the first Phonogram mini from Image was his longest work. Over the next few years he would put together acclaimed runs on Generation Hope, Uncanny X-Men and Thor, all the while apparently plugging away at Uber. It's a testament to his ability that Uber reads seamlessly, with no obvious stylistic changes or hiccups between issues written over such a long period.
Elevator pitch aside this first arc of Uber deals with the historical final days of World War II. The Reich is in shambles but then a German General reveals that he has created superhuman "Battleships" and the tide is turned. The story deals with the initial deployment of the Battleships, an Allied spy in the Uber creation program and the Allies first response to the threat.
I enjoyed the hell out of Uber. Along with Garth Ennis' Fury MAX book and much of the X-Men material Marvel is putting out it ranks among my favorite comics this year. Gillen's writing style for Uber is dramatically different than what I've seen in books like Journey into Mystery and Young Avengers. Aside from being (obviously) very tonally different it's a much more direct, maybe documentary, style. There are many instances of interactions between the fictional characters and Gillen's interpretations of historical figures. I don't claim to be a WWII historian but these moments feel authentic, and even when I'm (shamefully) lost in a conversation between German Generals I'm able to muddle through and deduce each characters motivations.* I find the characters interesting and since this is both an Avatar book (less of an implicit guarantee of a happy ending) and not a licensed property (we all know Peter Parker's coming back) the tension of survival and success is genuine.
While issue 0 was a little rough I ended up enjoying Caanan White's pencils more by issue 3 or 4. Earlier issues seem to have a lot of cross hatching on faces, sometimes to affect shadow, sometimes just because. It seemed like the inking got progressively better over time also; later issues seemed to have a thinner line which resulted in brighter pages. White is also saddled with the thankless job of attempting to make multiple white male German Generals in the same uniform discernible to the reader. Even if he's not always successful there are enough context cues within the dialogue to get you through most of the time. Action is suitably epic as the Battleships use their "distortion halo" power in huge battles and also to smaller effect. Storytelling is clear and by issue 3 faces and body language are conveying emotion and intent very well.
Finally I want to mention the supplemental material in this hardcover. Clocking in at 160 pages it is incredibly extensive. Gillen's "Writer Notes" are reprinted from his blog, there's a long form interview about Uber and his career in general, a shorter interview with White, script-to-pencil comparisons and more. If you enjoyed the book as much as I did the supplements are a real treat. Overall this is a great story, and this "Enhanced" hardcover is a great package. Highly recommended.
*I'm also helped along by the extensive backmatter, including Gillen's "Writer Notes" for each issue.

The Great Fit of RibbedTee Undershirts
We tested out some new undershirts from RibbedTee and were very impressed. The shirts are super-soft and are cut differently from tradition undershirts. They're more snug and form-fitting, and they're cut longer so that they won't slip out when tucked into your pants. We found this to be much more comfortable. Also, if you've been working on your physique and want to show it off, your girlfriend will love how you look in a RibbedTee undershirt, and you can wear it in certain settings without a shirt pulled over and you'll look great!
But for most situations, you'll be using this product as a an undershirt so most guys will be more than satisfied regardless of their current fitness situation. We tested both the ribbed version and the traditional version. The streamlined fit also leaves no bunching around the waistline or arms. The shirts are also designed to keep their shape after repeated washing with the collars laying flat in place without sagging.
With Father's Day around the corner, the RibbedTee undershirts make a great gift as well.

Not specifically. I am more just trying to get whatever experience I can get, while working full time, so if it was a private firm, government, whatever, and would have allowed me a flexible schedule, I would have taken it. I probably will be more selective as I figure out what type of law I am interested in as the years go on.
That's great the DA office would work with you like that. Do you want to work in the DA's office after graduation?

Behind the Blog: Radhika Seth of Yanko Design
Blog: Yanko Design
Name: Radhika Seth
Location: Mumbai, India
Despite what one may imagine most bloggers, whether they write about design or technology, are just like the majority of people out there. They've got messy desks, works in progress projects, and everyday life intruding into their home office. One aspect of our Behind the Blog series is to give readers a look behind the curtain of important figures in world of design and technology sites, and sometimes you'll be surprised to discover what you imagined to be is far different than the reality. Such may be the case with the home offices of Radhika Seth of Yanko Design, Executive Assistant to founder Takashi Yamada, revealing the life and world in which a glamorous design site is operated reveals a home office much different from the subject reported…
How would you describe your office?
My office is the perfect setup for a working mom. I have two growing up children that require as much attention as my passion for YD. So essentially my home-office is the ideal situation for me; like it's easy for me to divide my attention between making a bowl of popcorn for the kids and answering urgent emails or writing my next post! I've been blessed with a spacious apartment, so my nook is an exclusive-dedicated "Computer Room" so to say; it's got my workstation and my children's comp too!
What's always found on your desk?
I was reading the various Behind the Scenes you've done with other bloggers, and am happy to note that I'm not the only one who will say CLUTTER! I've got my iPhone, books, sticky posts, pens, camera, family pictures and tons of wire shoved behind the desktop. But the prime space belongs to my coffee mug and a Reader's Digest Reverse Dictionary that I refer to from time to time.
In terms of layout and organization of your work space, what are specific details that you're particularly proud of?
My office is in the most secluded part of my house, so it's more like my own private space. It's close enough to the children's room so I can always keep an eye on them. Moms always need to keep an eye!
I think my desk is perfect too, because it's quite an elaborate one that allows me to place a lot of important things on it, yet doesn't clutter up much. I don't mind some distractions when I'm doing pictures or making calls, but when I am writing I want no noise….and my workspace allows me the luxury of shutting out all distractions. I think I like this the best!
What do you dislike about your workspace and want to improve?
My chair! I could do anything for the perfect chair. Since I end up spending most of my day on it…I'd kill for anything that gives me the perfect posture and support for my back. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the perfect one so I'm stuck with the old one.
What inspires your work/blog/site?
The fact that representing a designer's work that may ultimately lead to his recognition is the ultimate kick ever! I used to hear stories about this from my publisher Takashi [Yamada], but when I actually witnessed it happening for some of the works that I covered; I was so humbled. I remember doing the Moss Carpet in the first month that I joined YD, and boy did it go viral. And by this I mean not only online, but the real world too. I think the designer went on to do interviews with BBC and other media places. In other cases we have seen concepts by the designers being picked up by manufacturers and are now actual products. The other source of inspiration comes from our devoted readers, for whom we try and bring the best in the business. All this truly inspires all of us at YD.
Is your work reflected by your workspace?
I hope not, because I can be messy, lazy and downright stubborn about the stuff that lies around my desk. I need to keep things in front of my eyes and I like a set routine. Maybe this is why I hate using my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A205) and use it only when I'm traveling or when my desktop gets moody.
Work on the other hand is sacred for me, I can't cut corners or take shortcuts, in fact I always believe in going the extra mile.
Any tips or advice about office décor, layout, organization, working from home in general?
Oh yes plenty! A home office is not necessarily a reflection of people's personality. Some maybe as neat and organized as Takashi Yamada, others as disorganized as me, in the end both get our jobs done and that's what matters. The general rule is to find a space that is comfy for you. If you're like me who wants privacy while working; then you need a whole room. Others may be happy working with people around them! The trick is to find out what works for you and take it from there. It's also helpful if you find space for a proper desk and chair, since spending time in front of the computer can take its toll on your posture.
Sources for your home office?
My desk is this knock-down thing that I got from a local carpenter, but it's a darn good piece as it organizes the computer peripherals into its right place. My chair is local made too and is not so fancy or elaborate. Luckily for me, in India buying furniture can be as cheap or expensive as we want it. It's the question of where you shop or source it from. Right from the big retail chains to the local carpenters, they all sell the same things…
Favourite tech/electronics that makes your life easier?
A tough one to answer because I'm not so much into gadgets! I have learnt all about computers on my own, with little or no help at all. I'm a keen learner and like to soak in as much as I can. I know there are many tools and tricks out there that can make life easy for me as an online person, but either I'm not too aware of it or just too busy to take in newer stuff.
When did you start Yanko Design and why?
Yanko Design was actually started by Takashi Yamada and later on Jason Hui and Long Tran helped move it forth. The main idea behind starting the site was to become Design Advocates. To bring out exclusive ideas and innovations for people who can appreciate good designing. It was founded in 2002 and slowly and steadily the other hand-picked editors joined in. All our team members are spread around the world and we reflect the essence of a Global Community. Some of us haven't even met each other, but the warmth and passion for YD and design is quite evident in our interactions.
Thanks Radhika!

It sounds like Justin Bieber isn't giving up on Selena Gomez yet. Rumor has it she was the one who broke up with him -- but as we said yesterday, sources from his side say it ain't necessarily over between them yet. In an interview with radio show "Open House Party" yesterday Bieber wouldn't confirm or deny that he and Selena are dunzo. Instead, he said, "I don't know what to say. I don't know what's going on in my life... To even assess that it doesn't make sense 'case I have not made any comment."
And now TMZ has an exclusive from Bieber insiders who claim he thinks they'll kiss and make up. "The way Justin sees it... they've broken up a bunch of times before and this is just another blip." They've been told Justin isn't even "freaked out" over it. But maybe he should be.
Kind of sounds like he's too cavalier about this whole thing. I mean, we've all heard that line from men before, right? "She'll be back!" Ooh, it's so arrogant and condescending! Man, if I were Selena reading this it would just piss me off more. "NO I WILL NOT!"
Jeebus, maybe Selena needs to record a cover of Taylor Swift's, "We are Never Getting Back Together" just to drive the point home with Bieber. If Justin doesn't think she's serious this time he's just in denial. (You are serious about this breakup, right Selena?)
Every on-again-off-again relationship ends the same way: OFF. Why postpone the inevitable? C'mon kids, get it over with. Release your official statements confirming the breakup already. Greener pastures await and all that.
Should Justin be taking this breakup with Selena more seriously?

Hi!After i changed my sat tuner to Linux4Media cineS2 DVB-S2 Twin Tuner http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Linux4Media_cineS2_DVB-S2_Twin_Tuner
femon's frontend info doesn't work anymore on all frontends.Exact cause for that seems to be the way ngene driver registers frontends at /dev/dvb
My current /dev/dvb looks like this: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0Since femon assumes that vdr card index is same as adapter index, femon shows stats from wrong frontend and can't show stas from /dev/dvb/adapter2 at all.
A quick look at vdr's device.h didn't reveal an easy fix for this problem, since cDevice doesn't store device paths or adapter/frontend numbers.

Group Therapy FAQs
- What is group counseling?
Group counseling is often similar to individual counseling, but it occurs in a group format. There are typically one or two counselors who facilitate the group. There are typically 4-10 group members and, depending on the group, they often have similar concerns (e.g. anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, grief, etc.). Groups typically meet once a week and meetings usually last for an hour to an hour and a half. Some groups are limited in how many times they meet while others are more open-ended. Groups are typically held at CSU's Counseling Center in Union Building 220 and are free for students.
- Why might group counseling be a good option for me?
There are several reasons why group counseling is equally effective, and often times more effective, than individual counseling for certain issues. For example, group counseling offers the unique experiences of feeling supported by others who share a common concern in a safe environment as well as supporting and helping others as they address issues that you have experienced or are experiencing. Likewise, since most people's concerns impact them socially, group counseling allows the opportunity to address the social aspect of people's concerns directly.
- Is it normal to be anxious/hesitant/doubtful about going to group counseling?
Yes! Most people are anxious, hesitant, and/or doubtful about attending group counseling. There are many reasons that such experiences are common, including trying something new, feeling vulnerable in a group of people that one does not yet know, and concerns about the effectiveness of group counseling, among others. Such feelings are often an indication that one is taking the endeavor of group counseling seriously and represents a healthy emotional response to a perceived risk. Such feelings may also themselves indicate that group counseling may be beneficial (e.g. if one is fearful of it, it may be helpful to face it directly).
- Who is eligible to be in group counseling?
It depends on the group. Some groups are open to all CSU students. Some groups require a meeting with a counselor at the counseling center before one can enter a group. Please check our website regarding CSU counseling center group offerings and for group-specific information about this topic.
- I have difficulty talking to people, especially in groups. Could I still benefit from group counseling?
Difficulties talking to people are very common. Such a difficulty actually suggests that group counseling may be especially helpful. Interacting with others one-on-one and in groups is an important part of everyone's life experience. Having the opportunity to do so in a safe place like group counseling where one can specifically work on the skills and difficult feelings associated with talking to other people can be especially beneficial.
- I am worried that I will have to talk too much. Might this happen in a group?
Your participation in group is important, regardless of which group you attend. However, you will not be forced to talk or say anything you do not want to say, though you may be encouraged to participate.
- I am worried that I will not get to talk enough. Might this happen in a group?
Ideally, group members will participate roughly an equal amount of time over several group counseling sessions, but there are typically group members that participate a bit more than others. Nevertheless, group members rarely feel that they are not given enough time to talk. If a person ever feels that they are not being given enough time to talk, they are usually encouraged to voice this concern in the group or address it with the group facilitator.
- Will I have to reveal my deepest, darkest secrets in the group?
Absolutely not! Although disclosing important aspects of yourself may be helpful to you at some point during a group, you will not be forced or coerced to share any information that you do not want to share. You also will have the opportunity to develop a relationship with the other group members and group facilitator before choosing what information you want to discuss in a group.
- Is group counseling confidential?
The group leaders are legally and ethically bound to keep information discussed in the group confidential. However, other group members do not have the same legal obligation, so confidentiality cannot be 100% ensured. However, confidentiality is strongly emphasized with group members and maintaining confidentiality is typically a rule of every group.
- What if one of the other group members is someone I know?
If such a situation arises, group facilitators will attempt to address it with the best interests of all group members in mind and the input of the students in question will be of primary consideration.
- Can I leave a group if I no longer want to attend?
Yes. However, it is often important to discuss both thoughts and intent to leave a group with the group and/or group facilitator prior to actually leaving the group.
- What is the difference between a group and a workshop?
Workshops are educational/instructional in nature. Workshops primarily involve the workshop leader teaching information that might be important to mental health and/or academic success. Group counseling relies much more on participation from the group members and is focused on group members' specific concerns.
- What groups are offered at CSU's counseling center?
Group offerings change from semester to semester. However, some commonly offered groups focus on relaxation, grief and loss, women's issues, LGBTQ+ issues, assertiveness, among others. Groups may also arise if enough people are interested in a particular topic or focus. Please check our website throughout the year or give us a call to find out what groups are being offered.
- How can I get more information on group counseling?
For more information, you can call us at 216-687-2277, continue to explore our website, or email Todd Seibert, CSU Counseling Center's group coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com

This cute Robot is made from all recycled materials. Kids love to make these and they look great as a fun room decoration. What a fun project for a robot theme party. Just gather a bunch of found objects and bnoxes and let the kids make their own. If you provide small boxes like jello boxes the projects will be manageable.
Items needed:
- Discarded boxes, paper tubes, buttons, straws etc.
- Reynolds Wrap or Metallic-type duct tape
- Scissors
- Masking tape/ clear tape
- Glue
- Find a box that will serve for the Robot body. We used cracker boxes. Also find a smaller box for the head.
- Collect some paper tubes (toilet paper or paper towel tubes) for arms and legs. We save this type of thing for future projects. These can all be saved in a plastic crate or tote.
- Gather items for eyes, mouth, antennae and decoration. We used empty jello boxes for feet but look and see what you have on hand.
- Use masking tape to seal all ends of the boxes and then attach head to body with masking tape. Cover with either reynolds wrap and tape with clear tape or glue in place. The other option, which we did, is to use metallic tape and wrap the body and head with this.
- Next, wrap the arms and legs with the metallic tape or wrap and then attach legs and arms with either masking tape or clear tape to the body. Last pieces of tape will have to be covered with metallic look also.
- Apply eyes, mouth etc with glue and let dry.
- Now you have a cute little Robot too!

"5 Star"
My dog cannot get enough of these. He is a picky eater so I mix it with his regular kibble. He gobbles up all his food with the sardines mixed in. I only use half a sardine too.
"No good"
My dog and 4 cats did not eat this treat. They looked at it and walked off.
"My cats & dogs love them!"
These are a bit large to just give a cat or kitten. However, break them up and they'll love them. Both my two large dogs, my 20yr old Princess and two kittens love them. Highly recommend!
"barkworthy sardine treats"
our female cat and female pit mix dog LOVED these crunchy dried fish treats, the male cat and dog did not go for them, had to keep them in a jar to stay fresher...would buy again if on sale.
"Fun New Treat"
I was surprised honestly, by both of my two different breeds really like these…. they are heathy and not smell. My dogs are pretty picky but loved them and always looking for something new for them to try.

From: Timothy McClung
Science Plans Branch Chief
Office of Science and Technology
Subject: Amended to Reschedule the Effective Date for the
Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated
Trajectory (HYSPLIT) upgrade to July 25, 2013 to
Corresponds with the Transition of the NCEP
Production Suite to the WCOSS Supercomputer
Effective on Thursday, July 25, 2013, beginning with the
1200 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) run, the National Centers
for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) will upgrade the HYSPLIT
modeling system including smoke, dust, and volcanic ash.
The NOAA Air Resources Laboratory HYSPLIT subversion number 339
will be implemented as NCEP version 7.0.0 on NCEP's new Weather
and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS), scheduled
to become the operational machine on July 25, 2013. A separate
TIN will be issued announcing the operational switch to the
WCOSS system. In the event that switch date is changed, this TIN
will be modified to reflect that change in implementation date.
Forecasts from the updated HYSPLIT model were made available
through a parallel feed from WCOSS starting June 19, 2013. The
smoke and dust HYSPLIT GRIB products from the parallel feed are
disseminated via the NCEP website:
and the products will be displayed through NCEP's website:
Current operational HYSPLIT model will continue providing
forecasts through NCEP Central Computing System (CCS) until the
WCOSS machine goes live on July 25, 2013. At that time updated
WCOSS smoke and dust predictions will be distributed through
and displayed at
The scientific enhancements include the following:
-- Improved wet removal by reducing in-cloud particle wet
removal coefficient, allowing wet removal to occur only when
both precipitation and clouds are defined in the same grid cell,
and turned off precipitation field spatial interpolation
-- revised horizontal puff dispersion rate to be more consistent
with particle dispersion
-- set Kanthar-Clayson vertical mixing parameterization as
-- maximum plume rise limits relaxed
-- fires pre-processer modified for daily emission cycling
The model has been tested with these updates for all HYSPLIT
applications at NCEP. Overall the results showed generally
similar results, except for simulations of the wet deposition
from the Fukushima nuclear power plant incident of 2011, in
which significant improvements occurred.
There are no changes to existing products or their contents.
More details about the HYSPLIT are available at:

Climate Shifts Cut Short Girls' Education in Northeast India
By Amarjyoti Borah
GUWAHATI, India (Thomson Reuters Foundation) Anju Dewraja had not yet finished high school when her family asked her to quit classes and stay home. Now the 15-year-old from Tami-heruwa village in Indias north-eastern state of Assam has seen her life reduced from lessons and homework to household chores.
Many families in Assam dependent on agriculture for their livelihood are suffering the consequences of recurrent droughts and floods, which experts attribute to climate change. Dewrajas is one of them.
In Morigaon, the district where Tami-heruwa is located and one of the most severely affected in the state, thousands of school-age girls have been forced to drop out of education and are now either working in the home or as daily wage labourers, researchers found.
Anjus father, 48-year-old Thaneswar Dewraja, says his family has been devastated by a string of bad harvests over last five or six years. Last year he decided to end his daughters schooling and ask her to keep the house so her mother could go out in search of work to supplement the familys income.
The family, previously comfortably off, used to earn around 100,000 Indian rupees (about $1,700) a year growing grain and vegetables. Dewraja never had to purchase grain for the family to eat as they got whatever they needed from the field.
However, in the past four years I could not save any money, and also couldnt get any grain as everything was washed away, he said. My wife now works as a daily wage labourer and gets 120-150 rupees ($2-2.50) a day, and that is a big relief for us.
Little Hope of Returning
Anju looks despairingly at the life ahead of her and says that she has no hope of going to school again one day.
The Dewrajas story is one echoed by other families.
Last year my parents asked me to quit school and to help with household chores, and since then I have not been to school, said Marami Dekaraja, 15, also from Tami-heruwa village. She helps cultivate the familys small field as well.
Her father, Praben Dekaraja, says the family had no choice but to end his daughters education after floods damaged their home and washed away crops.
There were no other options for us. Unpredictable weather over the years has completely shattered us, he said.
According to researchers, the number of such cases is growing rapidly, and thousands of Assamese families are being forced to take their daughters out of school and put them to work, as floods and droughts have destroyed thousands of hectares of agricultural land belonging to once-prosperous farmers.
In several areas in the state, the income of families who are solely dependent on agriculture for their livelihood has declined several-fold, as with climate change there has been a change in the rainfall pattern and also there has been a decrease in the average rainfall, said Sabita Devi, co-convenor and senior researcher of the Assam-based Centre for Environment, Social and Policy Research (CESPR).
Women and Girls Hit Hardest
A recent study by the organisation found that financially precarious households and those living in rural areas in the state are particularly prone to the impacts of climate change. According to its research, women and girls are particularly vulnerable to the negative consequences.
Even women who belong to once-prosperous families have been forced to take up work as domestic help and daily wage labourers.
In hundreds of households women are now compelled to take up weaving, daily wage labour and other related activities to make ends meet, and in many areas women of the household are also taking up fishing to make up for lost agricultural produce, said Devi.
Sosinanda Bordoloi, a social activist and researcher associated with the Women Development Centre, a nongovernmental organisation, pointed out that such issues have become a regular phenomenon in the district, as the adverse impacts of climate change have severely affected families that rely on farming.
CESPRs research also found that the changes are affecting girls education to a great extent. Once the mother decides to go out in search of work, the responsibility of the house usually falls to the girl and she is asked to leave school, the researcher said.
Families are also likely to believe that girls are less able than boys to cope with wading through high flood waters to get to school, the study pointed out.
Families in Tami-heruwa confirm that boys, rather than girls, are the ones staying in school through bad times. Anju Dewrajas younger brother is continuing at school, and Maramis Dekaraja brother finished school and now works for a small private firm.
