Susan Chevrie says no one is going to make her throw her cigarettes away.
"I'm not going to quit because someone tells me," said Chevrie, 55, of Perris, cigarette in hand, smoke drifting from her mouth. "I'll quit because I want to, when I want to."
Chevrie, standing in a designated smoking area on the campus of UC Riverside and waiting for her shift as a custodian to start, is a holdout in the campus' plan to go smoke free Jan. 1.
All UC campuses will become tobacco-free zones that day. Smoking will not be allowed anywhere on the campuses, nor will the use of other tobacco products, such as chewing tobacco, as well as electronic cigarettes. The date coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Loma Linda University is the only other college in the Inland region that has a total smoking ban.
Chevrie, her voice raspy from smoking a pack a day for 35 years, said she is not alone in thinking the ban is unfair. But she admits she may be the most vocal about it.
"I'm not doing drugs," she said. "I'm not drinking. If that's the only thing I have to relieve my stress, leave me be."
Chevrie's boss, Bob Slater, said he understands her frustration. Slater, 59, of Riverside, oversees building maintenance. He said he quit smoking earlier this year.
"April 28 at 6:32 p.m., that's when I crushed out my last one," Slater said. "I've snuck one once or twice after that."
Slater said he smoked for 40 years. He quit a couple of times but always came back to cigarettes. This time he quit with the help of medication. As part of the 25-member committee that helped shape and publicize the no-smoking policy in the past year, he felt he needed to set an example for the 88 people on his staff. He's hoping those who still smoke will follow his example.
"I have probably 25 smokers," he said. The new smoke-free policy "is going to affect a lot of people. It's going to be hard. People are not happy about it. But you know what? It's a good thing."
If his own experience is an indication he said, his employees will be happier if they quit.
"I feel better," he said. "I can smell. I've poured on a ton of weight, but that's a whole other thing. I've replaced cigarettes with doughnuts."
The ban applies to everyone on campus. No one knows how many of UCR's 21,000 students smoke, but the statewide smoking rate is highest among 18- to 24-year-olds — about 14.2 percent, according to 2011 statistics from the state Department of Public Health.
Enforcing the new policy will be more informational than punitive, Slater said. Those seen smoking on campus will be reminded about the policy and informed about resources available to them.
"If I see someone smoking, it's not like we're going to fire them on the spot," he said. "We're going to take a slow approach and it's going to be mostly informing people."
During the holiday break in classes, he said, signs will go up around campus. Some will be on street-side poles.
"They'll be like 'No Parking' signs," Slater said. In addition, "there will be little sandwich signs here and there on the sidewalk. There will be signs on buildings."
The campus has invested $50,000 in signs, promotional events and materials, and smoking cessation efforts, and plans to invest a similar amount in the coming year.
"We've provided trainings and fact sheets and bookmarks and window clings," said Julie Chobdee, the campus' wellness program coordinator.
Chobdee headed the smoke-free committee. She said the UC campuses are joining about 1,200 colleges and universities nationwide that are smoke-free.
Even though the plan has been in the works for nearly a year, Chobdee said, "it's going to be a culture change, and it's going to take time."
For the 6 percent of faculty and staff members who are smokers, she said, the school has beefed up its smoking cessation programs, including providing a one-on-one counselor to help them through the process.
V.J. Sleight is the author of "Tips to Win at Quitting Smoking," and so far has worked with about 20 smokers on the UCR campus. She can empathize with those trying to quit, she said. She smoked for 20 years.
"I quit for three months nine separate times," Sleight said. "I know how it feels to wake up in the middle of the night and crave a cigarette."
She thinks requests for her services will pick up after the policy goes into effect.
"Oftentimes what smokers think is, 'I'll just go without smoking during the day,' and they find they can't," she said. "The average smoker needs to smoke a cigarette an hour to avoid withdrawal. They say it relaxes them, but what it's doing is keeping them from going into withdrawal. I think we'll see a lot more people asking for help after the first of the year."
Chevrie said she's having none of it. She waves her cigarette.
"I'll go off campus every break if I have to," she said.
Cities in California that ban smoking from almost all areas accessible to the public:
— Loma Linda
— Calabasas
— San Luis Obispo
California colleges and universities that have smoke-free campuses include:
— Loma Linda University
— Palomar College
— Mira Costa College
— Santa Barbara City College
— Fresno Pacific University
— Imperial Valley College

The men's and women's cross country teams will be honored for their accomplishments during the 2009 season this Thursday, Jan. 21 at halftime of the men's basketball contest against Holy Family University in The Gallagher Athletic Center.
The cross country teams made Central Athletic Collegiate Conference (CACC) history with a sweep of the conference championships in Oct. No other team has ever won both the men's and women's championships until this year.
The men were led by junior Shawn D'Andrea of Blackwood, N.J., who finished second overall in the conference championship race. For the season, CACC All-Conference performances went to seniors D'Andrea, Andrew Piotrowski and Kirk Tencate; sophomore Tyler Dye; and freshman Kipregeno Kirui.
D'Andrea was named the Philadelphia Inquirer's 'Runner of the Year' earlier this month for his outstanding season. He currently owns the school record for the 8K (25:39), which he set at the Paul Short Invitational this past season.
The women's team, defending CACC champions, were led this season by sophomore Sarah Simonetti of Perkasie, Pa., who took second overall at the CACC championships. Simonetti made University history competing in the 2009 NCAA Division II National Championships, finishing in the top-third of the race (54th place out of 184 runners).
Along with Simonetti, four other Lady Rams were named CACC All-Conference finalists, including senior Faith Anderson, junior Kaitlin O'Leary, and sophomores Anjelica Dinucci and Gabrielle Dei Tos.
The teams will be honored during half time of the men's basketball game. The women's game starts at 6 p.m. and the men's game begins at 8 p.m. Thursday.

(Reuters) - Japan's Ryo Ishikawa and Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant have received invitations to play in this year's Masters at Augusta, tournament organizers said on Friday.
"The Masters has long established a tradition of supporting the global game, and we were excited to extend invitations to Thaworn Wiratchant and Ryo Ishikawa, who we hope will provide added interest and enthusiasm for golf in Asia through their participation in the tournament," said Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club.
The tournament is scheduled for April 11-14.
Wiratchant, who won the 2012 Asian Tour Order of Merit, will be making his first Masters appearance.
The 46-year-old holds the Asian Tour record for most career victories, having won for the 15th time at the Indian Open last October.
This will mark the 21-year-old Ishikawa's fifth consecutive start at the Masters where he has missed the cut on three occasions and finished tied for 20th in 2011.

|1,500 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|14 nights
You just breathe better here! Situated right on Hawthorne Street, this renovated cape house is perfectly located for those who plan to enjoy Tanglewood, Kripalu, Lenox, Stockbridge Bowl and the like. Decorated in a relaxed contemporary style with extremely comfortable beds and a great large kitchen for the cook in you. A babbling brook runs through the rear of the property... great for listening to on the deck under the stars.
Recently added two screened in porches... one for eating and one for sleeping/relaxing with the sounds of the brook dancing in your ears!
Charming,clean,convenient,comfortable,and totally updated. Quiet area with beautiful back deck, yet still within walking distance to center
of town.Owners were extremely friendly and accommodating.
The house has a great layout that allows privacy upstairs and large
eating and gathering areas downstairs.
Tastefully decorated yet still quite comfortable.
I have thoroughly reserched the area, and I will definitely return and
re-rent this house. Save yourself the trouble of a long search...this is
THE ONE to rent.
This house was perfectecly situated in waking distance to Lenox, located on a beautiful, quiet property with a lovely view of a creek (aka babbling brook). Everything in the house was new, modern, and super comfortable. We felt right at home! We rented for a fun filled winter weekend, close to skiing and hiking. We'll be back!
I stayed with my wife at this house over the new years holiday. The house is fully renovated with fresh bathrooms and kitchen. The rooms are all freshly painted and the hardwood floors recently refinished. The house appears to be fitted with all new modern furnishings as well.
We were walking distance to town and took full advantage of that fact since we had a few drinks in celebration of the new year and were able to walk home rather than drive. I believe this house is very near tanglewood as well as a large yoga facility called Kripalu.
The backyard contains a nice babbling brook and private wooded views.
Overall we had a great holiday weekend in Lenox and the house played a big part in it.
We are 0.5 miles from Lenox Town Center and 0.7 miles from the Hawthorne Street entrance of Tanglewood.
Security deposit will be required. Cable and internet is included, but any pay-per-view selections will be taken out of the security deposit. Cleaning services must be used weekly. She's excellent and affordable at $25/hour. Any normal maintenance issues will be covered by the owners. Should you need the assistance of the handyman due to a problem caused by your own usage, you will be charged

LobstahBox prides itself on maintaining 100% sustainable practices. Since 1872, the New England fishing industry has been successfully regulated thus resulting in the highest quality product and environment from which it came.
LobstahBox is proud to offer the highest quality lobster and is confident you are eating the best live Maine Lobster direct from a well-maintained and sustainable marine environment.
The Maine lobster fishery is one of the most successfully regulated industries. The regulations and processes protect the industry from growing too big and essentially prevent overfishing. Lobster stock dwindles when unsustainable practices of large commercial fisheries catch all the lobsters in a certain area without consideration of how the population will replenish itself. For over 125 years Maine lobstermen and women have been trapping lobster by hand, one trap at a time, ensuring the quality of the product and the environment from which it came. This is why sustainability is so important.
Delicious lobster starts at the eco-system where the lobster lives – what the lobster eats can alter the taste of the lobster. That's why we believe lobster, from Maine is the sweetest and most succulent in the world.
Sustainability also ensures traceability. Regulating lobster sustainability practices allow us to prove the traceability of every lobster caught in the State of Maine. We can proudly trace every step of the lobster journey, as we source directly from our lobstermen and women from boat to your backyard.
LobstahBox is proud to offer the highest quality lobster and is confident you are eating the best live Maine Lobster direct from a well-maintained and sustainable marine environment.
We believe that humane lobster delivery is as important and harvesting Maine lobsters from a sustainable source. That's why we maintain strict protocol to ensure the lobster is comfortable and happy. Our Maine lobsters are pulled from the boat into a large salt water facility with optimum cold temperature to ensure the lobsters health and longevity. The salt water facility is filtered to mimic the ocean, so any and all debris is sucked away. In addition we sort all lobsters by hand to ensure no lobster is killed or hurt in the process, rather than using machine as some companies do. Our Maine lobsters stay in our tanks for less than 24 hours before they are shipped. You can be assured that your LobstahBox Maine lobster is the freshest possible lobster you can buy.
A female lobster with visible eggs on her tail cannot be kept. Before releasing her, the harvester puts a v-notch in her tail to indicate that she is a good breeder. Even if she is not showing eggs, a female lobster with a notch on her tail can never be caught.
Lobsters have to be 3 ¼ inches (8cm) from the eye socket to where the tail begins. Any lobsters under this length are called 'shorts' or 'snappers' and must be thrown back into the ocean to ensure they are mature enough to breed before they are harvested.
The maximum legal size of a lobster is 5 inches, so all our biggest breeders, which may produce 100,000 eggs rather than the average 10,000 eggs, can stay in the population and continue to add to the lobster stock.
New harvesters have to apprentice with veterans to learn the regulated sustainable practices, and only a limited number of new licenses are issued annually.
Maine sets a statewide trap limit and individual lobstering zones have their own trap limits.
Harvesting in Maine is by trap only. That means that no dragging or diving is allowed. Traps have escape hatches for undersized lobsters as well as biodegradable hatches in case the trap is lost.

Well, one of the things meld is used for is three way merging. e.g. mercurial can spawn meld when it needs human help. One problem with this is that meld can't return a useful exit status to say whether the merge was successful or aborted so scripts have to rely on the heuristic that if the merge file was saved, everything is ok. This is a bit fragile if you have a complex merge and you want to save progress! I'd love to see a "blocking" meld dbus interface which could spawn a diff tab and wait for the tab to be closed. There could be a "mark resolved" button or the user could be prompted on close whether the merge succeeded. Also, I wonder how do dbus apps deal with multiple instances? Does the first one simply take the dbus connection? I'd like to see some way of communicating with all instances. Stephen.

New "Flash" Teaser Warns "Grodd Is Coming"
A super-smart, telepathic gorilla isn't necessarily a natural choice for network TV, but "The Flash" has teased the arrival of DC Comics supervillain Gorilla Grodd since its pilot, with increasingly revealing glimpses of the character in subsequent episodes. It looks like Grodd is finally set to truly rattle some cages, with a new promo on Entertainment Weekly warning that "Grodd is Coming" — exactly when is not yet revealed, but presumably soon.
Dialogue in the clip — "the voice that's in my head" — hints that the TV Grodd has the psychic powers of his comic book predecessor. The character was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, and first seen in 1959's "The Flash" #106.
The teaser also contained a close-up — albeit fleeting — look at Grodd's face:
"The Flash" airs 8 p.m. Tuesdays on The CW.

6th July 2016
The Syrian Supper Club came to life in July 2012; three friends, all sharing a profound sense of sadness at the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Syria, decided to do something to remind their friends in Syria that they had not been forgotten. With some sharp thinking and good noses for food Johnnie, Louisa and Rose held a Syrian inspired feast at their kitchen table to raise some money and like the greenest of raw almonds The Syrian Supper Club was born.
On Wednesday 6th July, at E5 Bakehouse, Philip volunteered as guest chef for a sold-out Syrian supperclub – of course, many Iraqi dishes were on show!

1st June 2016
Since Daesh invaded Iraq, almost 3.4 million people have been forced to flee their homes. They have lost everything, and now depend on others for their survival. Over two million are going hungry – every single day.
Both JUMA Kitchen and AMAR, are inviting you to hold your very own Iraqi get together – whether that's a BBQ, a Sunday lunch, a meal for two, or an Iftar meal for all the family – to help raise vital funds to feed some of Iraq's most disadvantaged families.

AMAR Foundation
AMAR has been working in the Middle East since 1991, providing professional health and education services to those whose lives have been turned upside down by conflict and instability. The charity's current appeal – which is in collaboration with Channel 4 Dispatches Director, Edward Watts – is working to develop the mental health care infrastructure in Northern Iraq to ensure those affected by IS brutality receive the trauma-therapy they so urgently need. After hearing about the charity, our founder, Philip was totally enrolled in their vision and wanted to do more to help their efforts in Iraq. On Friday 4th March JUMA has teamed up with AMAR to host a supperclub where 25% of ticket sales will go to the AMAR Foundation.

The Food Chain
JUMA teamed up with The Food Chain to celebrate their annual summer event in the summer of 2015. Having volunteered for the HIV Charity before, Philip was more than happy to volunteer his time and efforts into making it a summer party to remember! A surprise visit to the kitchen from patrons Jay Rayner and Allegra McEvedy made the event even more special. A warm thank you to the rest of the JUMA team who volunteered also, Alec and Hani!

Second Chance
2nd Chance is a specialist 'education to employment' training course created to support unemployed 18-24 year olds on their journey to a career. As part of their 6 month course, the graduates are trained within specific workshops, for example construction, I.T or in this case, hospitality. Philip's contribution was not in the form of cooking, but instead project managing their front of house team for their infamous, Secret Kitchen pop-ups. Philip continues to volunteer for the charity and is a real advocate of their work as he sees transformation in the young graduates every time he works with the charity – inspiring stuff!

Beyond Food Foundation
Beyond Food Foundation's mission is to inspire people who are at risk of, or have experienced, homelessness to gain meaningful employment. Their philosophy has always been about bringing people together around food, running workshops that creates well-being, passion for food and meaningful employment. It was a no-brainer for our founder to team up with Beyond Food to create a not-for-profit supperclub that would inspire Beyond Food trainees to gain experience of Iraqi cooking while raising money for the charity.
The event was covered by The London Evening Standard, find out more HERE

Located in the center of the country at an altitude of approximately 2,600 meters, Bogotá enjoys an almost perfect climate with average temperatures varying from 9 to 23 degrees centigrade.
The city has a population of about 8 million and is divided into a number of different areasincluding the historic center 'La Candelaria', the downtown business district and several modern and prosperous suburbs.
Getting around is relatively easy and inexpensive thanks to the innovative TransMilenio metro-bus service. There are also many things to see in the city, but the highlights are the colonial style buildings of La Candelaria; The Gold Museum with its unique collection of pre-Colombian gold work; The view from the Monastery of Monserrate which overlooks the city and the Botanic gardens which is like a miniature national park.
An awarding winning city
Bogotá was included in the "Destinations to be discovered" category in the Swiss Tourism Awards 2007, as an "enchanting city, full of contrasts and surprises".
Another Colombian city, Cali, was included in the "Capitals of Creativity" category, and was described as the "Capital of Salsa and of Joy".
More information Swiss Tourism Awards
Colombia still suffers from an image of lawlessness fomented by the activities of guerrilla groups and drug cartels.Thankfully, violent crime has tumbled dramatically over recent years. So much so that Lonely Planet, the travel publisher, chose Colombia as one of its top ten travel hotspots for 2006, in large part because of improvements in safety.
Of course travelers to Bogotá still need to take care of, but they will have nothing but warmth, hospitality, honesty and politeness.

Since 2011, Syria has been ravaged by a bitter civil war, and over 10 million Syrians have fled their homes to escape the violence. This includes 7.6 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and some 3.88 million refugees.1 Although Syria has only 0.23% of the world's population,2 the country is currently the single greatest source of refugees.3
People say, "a picture is worth a thousand words," and that has certainly proven true in the current crisis. The growing worldwide concern about displaced persons and refugees was catapulted into the spotlight on September 2, 2015, with the publication of photos of a three-year-old Syrian boy who had drowned while he and his family were fleeing to Europe.
In the wake of the child's tragic death, the massive public outcry has begun to put pressure on the U.S. and countries in the E.U. to accept greater numbers of Syrian refugees. However, even those who succeed in crossing international borders face poor living conditions in refugee camps.
As the crisis has deepened over the last four years, IM has responded in several ways. Using American Baptist gifts to the annual One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering, American Baptist International Ministries (IM) provided $40,000 to assist partners serving refugees in Lebanon in 2012 and another $50,000 to serve displaced persons within Syria in 2013. Global personnel are working shoulder-to-shoulder with partners in Bulgaria and at the Hungarian-Serbian border.
The Board of Directors of IM officially expressed its long-term commitment to supporting Syrian refugee and IDP communities in the recent International Ministries Resolution on Syrian Refugees. The resolution paves the way for a focused mobilization of human and financial resources to pray for, meet the needs of and prepare to receive Syrian refugees.
As a first step in this next stage of response, IM has sent an additional $10,000 in OGHS emergency funding to provide immediate relief for Syrian refugees and IDPs. Of this grant, IM partners Hungarian Baptist Aid and the Union of Baptist Churches of Serbia have each been given $5,000. The aid will be used to supply food and water, clothing, shelter and medical clinics. Future OGHS grants will support the efforts of all IM partners who are providing relief to Syrian IDPs and refugees
Hungarian Baptist Aid workers went to Serbia to distribute food to refugees waiting at the Serbian-Hungarian border. The packages contained bread, milk and cooked dishes in cans. HBAid also gave financial aid for refugees' daily provisions.
Hungarian Baptist Aid workers distribute food and financial aid to refugees waiting at the Serbian-Hungarian border.
The pool of OGHS funds available to make initial emergency grants is significantly depleted. Therefore, the ability of IM to provide aid for Syrian IDPs and refugees will depend on giving that is focused on this need. Individuals can make tax-deductible contributions through their local churches, online by credit card or by mailing a check to International Ministries, Attn: Syria Refugee Relief, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482. All checks should be identified with "OGHS-Syria Relief" on the memo line.
"The world is awakening to the extreme crisis caused by the civil war that started in Syria four and a half years ago," shares IM World Relief Officer Lisa Rothenberger. "Many of the refugees we are seeing in our media coverage today are Syrians who were uprooted from their homes years ago, and are now desperately trying to make their way to a more permanent place they can call home. They are joined by refugees from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq and Somalia as they travel by land or sea, often for several months and sometimes for longer than a year. Even as we now see their faces, we are reminded that there are almost 60 million people today that have had to leave the place they call home. Our hearts break for them all. And our gifts to One Great Hour of Sharing will remind them that they are not forgotten."

We Need Your Help NOW
Thanks to the many of you who have signed the petitions for the countywide effort for Single Member Districts for electing County Commissioners, and for the statewide effort to restore voting rights for ex-felons who have paid their debt to society. Now, in November, the focus must be on the Voting Restoration Amendment; we must meet the December deadline for one million petitions statewide, to guarantee that the needed 766,200 petitions will be validated to put this amendment on the November 2018 ballot.
This is an historic opportunity to correct 150 years of wrong in Florida that strips all individuals with past felony convictions of their civil rights, including their right to vote, even after they have completed their sentences. We are one of only three states in the union that permanently bars all ex-felons from voting.
Our Common Good team has been working diligently to gather petitions. Now we need to ask everyone in the congregation to help. Can you please take FIVE Voting Restoration Amendment petitions, ask friends outside UUCOV to fill them out, and bring them back to us to mail in? If 200 of us could do that, we can send 1,000 petitions in to support the cause. Time is of the essence. Please see anyone of our Common Good Team at the Social Justice table at coffee hour on Sunday to pick up your petitions. Let's change history in Florida for the better.

Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers: 4 Takeaways
Here's four takeaways from the Chicago Bulls' 96-90 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night in Chicago.
Well HOT DAMN that was frustrating, fam.
Though Wednesday's game was a mere six-point loss decided in the final minute (it was tied 90-90 before a Julius Randle lay-in with 45.1 seconds remaining), don't let the score fool you. It was a bad game for both sides, yes, but it was a flat-out embarrassment for the now 10-7 Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls were playing at home with five days' rest against an inferior opponent coming off the second night of a back-to-back. The Lakers climbed to .500 with the victory, 10-10, and are without a clear All Star, whereas Chicago boasts two. The Lakers were also sans its best player, D'Angelo Russell.
The deck was stacked heavily in our guys' favor.
What went so wrong? AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT SO RIGHT? Read on and despair, dear reader.
1. Losing The Rebound Battle
Robin Lopez enjoyed a near triple-double with a career night in blocks with eight, to go along with nine rebounds and 10 points, and Taj Gibson had a double-double (11 points and 10 rebounds) before fouling out at the end of a crucial 4th quarter.
That's about the only good thing you could say about the Bulls' activity in the paint all night. They missed billions of offensive rebounds, yielding 11 to Julius Randle alone, and 26 to Randle, old friend Luol Deng, and Larry Nance, Jr. Randle and Nance seemed to swallow up every miss in the fourth quarter, and there were plenty of those. (More on that in a second.)
Julius Randle alone tied a career high with 20 rebounds overall, contributing a third of LA's 60 total boards on the night. Chicago had just 46. Chicago had just 14 offensive boards to the Lakers' 42 defensive boards; a grotesque disparity that robbed a team that couldn't buy a basket of badly-needed compensatory second-chance scoring opportunities.
Luke Walton's Lakers, the team that was actually "younger and more athletic," proved it down low last night.
2. Depressingly Bad Shooting
The Bulls and Lakers both fell prey to poor shooting last night, with the Lakers making just 40.7 percent of all field goals and the Bulls making a pathetic 35.2 percent.

- FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 30 FanSided
- Chicago Bulls: Jimmy Butler An MVP Contender Hoops Habit
- Dumping Rajon Rondo could be Chicago Bulls best option FanSided
And before you blame it on 3-point shooting, you should know that while the Bulls shot a miserable 4-of-21 on 3-point attempts, the Lakers only took eight triples all game, making just two!
The big difference was really the fourth quarter, i.e. when the shooting counted the most. Chicago went ice cold in that frame, making just 28.6 percent of their 21 field goal attempts (6) to the Lakers' 50 percent of their 20 looks.
Do you know who the best shooters of the night for Chicago were? DO YOU REALLY? Rajon Rondo and Bobby Portis each shot 50 percent – Rondo went 6-for-12 for 14 points on the night, to go along with 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Portis was 1-for-2, because of course he was.
Jimmy Butler shot just 4-of-18 (22.2%!) and had to go to the free throw line 15 times (making 13 of those attempts) to scrap his way to a 22-point night over 40 minutes of action. Robin Lopez made just a third of his 12 attempts. Dwyane Wade and Taj Gibson both had decent shooting nights (Taj shot 44.4% from the field, Wade shot 46.7% percent on 15 attempts).
Of course, part of the problem with these shots was the shot selection. Butler produced an air ball on a 3-point attempt late. People were scrambling to make off-balance jumpers. The ball stuck everywhere outside of Rondo's hands (Rondo had some nifty dishes, so there's that at least).
The bench certainly didn't help with the dumb shot attempts, mitigating the competent shooting of Wade, Taj and Rondo, making just 7 of 25 shots (28%).
Which leads us to our third (and biggest) big issue in the game.
3. A Pathetic Bench
Granted, some of the problem with the Bulls' horrible bench is the result of missing two key rotation pieces in Doug McDermott (still out, sporting his second concussion of the year) and Michael Carter-Williams (recovering from a bone chip in his left wrist and a bone bruise in his left knee; targeting a January return).
In addition to making just 28 percent of their field goal attempts, the five bench players whose numbers were called took just two free throws. Good free throw shooters like Isaiah Canaan (5 points on 2-of-9 shooting across a whopping 25 minutes) and Nikola Mirotic (6 points on 3-of-9 shooting over 21 minutes) hugged the perimeter and couldn't get a whistle.
While four of the Bulls' starters actually had solid plus-minus nights (the high man was RoLo with +9; only Wade had a negative mark, at -2, but he made a clutch dunk late that in my mind excuses him), every single bench player posted a negative number.
Canaan, who's been fairly decent thus far as a Bull, was -19 on the eve in a bit of a surprise.
Guess who was -18? The crazy-eyed genius Fred Hoiberg insists on playing ahead of my favorite back-up center, which brings me to my 4th and final beef with last night's nutty game plan…
4. A Lack Of Cristiano Felicio (and yes, R.J. Hunter)
We don't know what Hunter can give us, but Jimmy Butler played 40 exhausting minutes in a loss. With Doug McDermott out, his first-option backups are Denzel Valentine (more of an off-guard than a small forward) and… Dwyane Wade or Jerian Grant (definitely not a three).
R.J. Hunter and the injured rookie Paul Zipser are the only other true small forwards on the roster, and Hunter is the only other healthy one. Can it really get that much worse than Denzel Valentine at this point? I know Valentine is the more intriguing long-term prospect, but like the immortal Bobby Portis, Valentine is not ready on either side of the floor yet.
Last night, Valentine wasted five minutes of valuable playing time, scoring no points (and taking just two attempts) and grabbing no rebounds, while making just one assist and using his length to at least help out with two steals. He was -5 for the game.
Grant played just six minutes, had just two points (going 1-of-3 from the field), and had only one other traditional stat: two fouls, an impressive sum for such scant on-court time logged. He was -8. I'm still higher on Grant than Valentine, because he's a better, speedier defender, but he clearly hasn't earned the trust of his coach just yet.
So, why not see what Hunter (a DNP – CD last night) can do? Hunter had 19 points over the weekend when he, Grant and little-used backup center Cristiano Felicio (also a DNP – CD last night) were assigned to the D-League. All three actual Bulls had fantastic games, a reminder of just how valuable extended run can be for building up the confidence of little-used benchwarmers.
Grant loved his time logged with the Windy City Bulls over the weekend, when he scored 34 points in a win. "Nothing like getting game reps no matter what level," he told reporters.
Felicio had 20 points and 12 boards. The D-League is an important tool, and if Hoiberg doesn't think Felicio and Hunter have much to offer (which is nuts, considering how paltry the Bulls' bench has been for a while anyway), why not keep them in the D-League for a bit? These are guys who really might be able to contribute to the NBA-level Bulls.
If it takes some time in Hoffman Estates with Nate Loenser to improve Hoiberg's confidence in their abilities, so be it. Because we really might need them sooner rather than later.
I personally would love to see Hunter over Valentine and Felicio over Portis right now, since all advanced evidence (plus, you know, the eye test) suggest Felicio is better, right now.
But if that's not possible, then let's get them some run so we can see them in games that count at some point in 2016 please.
Seriously, can they be much worse than our bench right now? It's worth a shot to find out.

In his upcoming book Middle-earth from Script to Screen: Building the World of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Daniel Falconer tells how Middle-earth was turned into blockbuster film franchises, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit Trilogy.
While there have been books on how Middle-earth was adapted onto the silverscreen, Falconer's 480 page long book promises to give comprehensive, never before seen insighs:
The Making of Middle-Earth tells the complete story of how J. R. R. Tolkien's magic world was brought to vivid life on the big screen in the record-breaking film trilogies The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy and The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy. Drawing on resources, stories, and content from the archives of the companies and individuals behind the films, much of which have never appeared in print before, as well as interviews with director Peter Jackson and key members of the Art Department, Shooting Crews, Park Road Post, and Weta Digital teams who share their personal insights on the creative process, this astonishing resource reveals:
How the worlds were built, brick by brick and pixel by pixel;
How environments were extended digitally or imagined entirely as computer generated spaces;
How the multiple shooting units functioned;
How cast members and characters interacted with their environments. […]
You can read more about the book on harpercollins.com. The price for the book is currently listed as $75.00 and will be released on November 21st, 2017.
Will you get this book or do you think there are already too many 'making of' books? I, for one, can't want to get it and explore the artistry and craftmanship behind the blockbuster trilogies!

Residents voice concerns on noise, bins and pavements
Crime, student issues and public safety were the big topics discussed at this week's South and North Jesmond ward meetings.
The meetings, held at Northumbria University and St Hilda's Church on Tuesday and Wednesday nights respectively, allowed residents and councillors to discuss some of the latest issues affecting their local communities.
Police representatives told the South Jesmond audience that although overall crime had fallen by 14% since the last meeting, burglaries had risen by 44%. The police attributed the upsurge to criminals targeting unsecured student properties, which accounted for the majority of incidents.
Residents at both meetings raised the issue of noise created by students getting taxis into town late at night and then returning in the early hours of the morning. Police urged attendees to report any noise incidents, so that they could gather evidence in order to take action.
Representatives from Northumbria university's student community assured South Jesmond's residents and councillors that they were engaging in a number of projects to tackle the noise and crime issues associated with the student population.
Obstructions and safety issues in public areas featured prominently in North Jesmond's meeting. Residents expressed particular concern about obstructions around the shops on St George'sTerrace, including trade waste bins, which are yet to be removed, and obstructions caused by deliveries being made to businesses.
Cllr Catherine Pagan agreed to look into the rules around when deliveries can take place, in the hope that earlier times can be agreed, when fewer residents will be affected. Meanwhile the removal of the trade waste bins will be followed up with the council's highways department.
Residents also highlighted the raised pavement and lack of lighting outside West Jesmond Metro Station, which they felt posed a safety risk, particularly in the dark. Cllr Peter Breakey agreed to follow this up and noted that the area will probably be repaved early next year, when works on the Metro station are likely to take place.
Next year's Jesmond Community Festival featured in both ward meetings, with the Jesmond Community Forum (JCF) requesting a total of £6,000 funding for the event from four local wards, the majority coming from North and South Jesmond.
JCF hopes to extend the route of the festival parade to South Jesmond, in order to increase the area's participation in the event. The festival will take place slightly later next year, beginning on 28th April and finishing on 13th May.
You can follow ward meetings live on JesmondLocal through our live text service. You can also replay this week's coverage of both the North and South Jesmond meetings.

Sail Loot Podcast 041: The Money Side of a Virgin Islands Sailing Charter with Wiley Sharp
I've had several people email me and ask about owning and operating a sailboat charter. I found Steve and Chrissy Solonynko via their Knot Anchored blog and realized that they owned and operated a 2010, 46 ft, Robertson & Caine catamaran, Knot Anchored, for two years before turning the reigns over to Captain Leon Sheepers and Chef/hostes Monika Kudyba in May of 2016.
I emailed Steve and Chrissy to ask if they would be interested in sharing some information about becoming owners and operators of a crewed sailing catamaran charter in the Virgin Islands. Their immediate response was, "I'm putting you in touch with the guy that made it all happen for us – Wiley Sharp."
Wiley grew up in the Tampa, FL area and has been sailing most of his life. He now wears two hats as a catamaran broker heading up the BVI area for Denison Yacht Sales and a founding partner of Blue Waters VI Yacht Management with his wife. As you'll hear, Wiley has a wealth of knowledge about setting up and operating a sailing catamaran for charter.
Wiley and I had a few different conversations, and as I write this I have two Sail Loot Podcast episodes worth of content. I'm leaving for the Virgin Islands on Saturday, November 5th, 2016 and I plan on trying to buy Wiley a beer. I'll probably ask him more questions. I'll do my best to record everything. This is being released the day before I head to the Virgin Islands, but if you can think of any questions that you want me to ask Wiley in person, leave a comment below, ask your question there, and I'll see what I can do!

Previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the group has announced their intention to reestablish the caliphate and declared their leader, the shadowy Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the caliph. Flush with cash and US weapons seized during recent advances in Iraq, the Islamic State's expansion shows no sign of slowing down. In the first week of August alone, Islamic State fighters have taken over new areas in northern Iraq, encroaching on Kurdish territory and sending Christians and other minorities fleeing as reports of massacres emerged.

Public Forum: Is U.S. Military Intervention Ever Humanitarian?
Wednesday, May 4 @ 7:00 PM, Carlson School, 321 19th Avenue S, U of M West bank Campus, Room 1-127, Minneapolis, MN
On March 19, 2011 the U.S. launched a new military intervention in the Middle East, this time in Libya. The military action in Libya was called a humanitarian response to the crisis in that country.
Come to the May 4th forum for a discussion: *What economic and political issues are behind U.S. military interventions around the world? *Why is the history of U.S. military action being couched in humanitarian terms? *Will "humanitarian intervention" be the new excuse for waging wars around the world?

Taxman in crackdown on NAMA and black economy
REVENUE has been given a number of new powers under the Finance Bill ranging from the policing of the black economy to the monitoring of tax compliance at the new National Asset Management Agency (NAMA).
As the Government attempts to beef up its tax take against the backdrop of the economic downturn, the Revenue will play a bigger role in generating incomes.
"This is enhancing the powers of the Revenue Commissioners to ensure everyone pays the correct amount of tax," a spokesperson from the Department of Finance said.
In a bid to clamp down on the black economy, the tax body will be given more information from transport operators in advance of arrival or departure from the country to target the smuggling of goods liable for customs or excise duty.
For example, the maximum fine for smuggling cigarettes into the country has been hiked to €126,960 from the current level of €12,695 under the new bill.
Retailers yesterday said they lost nearly €700m in revenues from tobacco being sold illegally on the black market.
Under section 145 of the Finance Act, Revenue will also be given access to information on tax compliance by NAMA, the body designed to purge the banks of developer loans.
As NAMA prepares to transfer billions of euro in toxic loans to its books, if it becomes aware of any offshore companies or entities in transactions under its scrutiny the body will pass this information on to the Revenue for policing. This will ensure that property deals are correctly handled for tax purposes.
Other powers include the overseeing of the tax treatment of company directors.
The Revenue will ensure that the amount of PAYE tax credit available to individuals is less than the amount they pay under Section 997A of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997.
The body has also been given the authority to serve summons normally reserved for the gardai in relation to tax, excise or stamp duty payments.
In addition, it will oversee the new taxes to be added to the list of those which must be paid before the Revenue can issue a Tax Clearance Certificate including customers and excise duties.
The Revenue will also be given more information from the Taxi Regulator to ensure that tax compliance is adhered to in that sector.
Meanwhile, Section 152 of the bill also sets up a legal framework for judges to pay their voluntary contribution towards the pension levy to the Revenue.
By the end of last month, 30 judges had yet to pay or make arrangements to make voluntary payments.

Knowledge integration taxonomy in buyer–supplier relationships: Trade-offs between efficiency and innovation
Based on the knowledge-based view of inter-firm collaboration, this study develops and proposes a parsimonious taxonomy of how buyers and suppliers develop knowledge integration in terms of two mechanisms: joint sense meaning and joint decision making. The first focuses on the interpretation and sense making of knowledge about strategic, relevant issues for the buyer–supplier relationship (BSR). The latter emphasizes joint problem solving related to their interlinked operative routine activities. Using survey data from 130 collaborative BSRs and cluster analysis, the results suggest that buyers that purposely develop a balanced knowledge integration with their suppliers—characterized by managing high levels of both joint sense meaning and joint decision making—show improved efficiency and innovation simultaneously even though they have to deal with the tension of managing the requirements of these two key, albeit competing outcomes. The results also suggest that buyers pursuing focused knowledge integration with their suppliers—characterized by managing high levels of either joint sense meaning or joint decision making—outperform in a specific outcome at the expense of the other. This study thus provides a comprehensive framework that allows organizations to evaluate the knowledge integration strategy that best supports their goals related to their collaborative buyer–supplier relationships.

The NES's noise channel doesn't actually generate random noise. It plays back a 32767 bit long sequence at 16 different speeds. Which means we can recreate it semi-accurately in a sampler!
This Kontakt multi patch has two instruments – one on MIDI channel 1 for the long noise setting (which loops the entire sequence) and one on channel 2 for the short noise setting (which loops 93-bit sections of the sequence).
I also made this Reaktor ensemble, which provides more variety in the short noise setting but lacks Kontakt's excellent anti-aliasing tech. I'm going to try to get into Max next to see if I can create a best-of-both-worlds version.
Both ZIPs have a MIDI file showing which notes correspond to the original 16 speeds, though you're free to play notes the NES couldn't.
Special thanks to FamiTracker, which I used to render out a hi-res version of the sequence!

Ignite UI is an advanced HTML5+ toolset that helps you create stunning, modern Web apps. Building on jQuery and jQuery UI, it primarily consists of feature rich, high-performing UI controls/widgets such as all kinds of charts, data visualization maps, (hierarchical, editable) data grids, pivot grids, enhanced editors (combo box, masked editors, HTML editor, date picker, to name a few), flexible data source connectors, and a whole lot more. Too many to list here--check out the site for more info and to download.
Ignite UI is not just another library created in someone's free time. It is commercial-ready, extremely well-tested, tuned for top performance, designed for good UX, and backed by a thriving 20+-year-old UI software company, Infragistics.
This is a very basic initial release, but the hope is you'll submit issues with what is important to you to add. Or hey, you know, this is open source, so feel free to submit pull requests with improvements, though you may want to discuss your ideas first in issues. :)
Because Ignite UI is a licensed product, we reference the public/free trial release in the script references. You will want to replace that with your own licensed. I am trying to think of a good way to generate with licensed scripts. If you have ideas for that, please share.
As of today, all it will do is generate an HTML page in the current directory based on the Ignite UI boilerplate with a chart and grid sample built in. This is meant to quickly give you something to modify/build from, or you can just delete it.
This is not a project generator. Ignite UI is not an application framework; it can be used with the popular application frameworks, such as Angular, Ember, Backbone, etc. So I recommend using
yo <yourappframework> first, then you can use
yo igniteui to generate a page in your app that uses Ignite UI.
We could theoretically expand to let you pick a popular base framework first, but I'd like to see how important that is to people.
To use, you have to first install Yeoman. I highly recommend this tool. You can use it to scaffold your apps and save yourself a lot of trouble. If you don't have it installed yet, run:
$ npm install -g yo
Just run:
$ npm install -g generator-igniteui
In the directory that you want to create your page, run:
$ yo igniteui
Your new page should look something like this:
The generated code is decorated with comments to help you tweak it for your purposes.
That's it! Hope it helps!
If you have suggestions, please submit issues here.

Defense Spending in New Europe Plummeting ({{commentsTotal}})
Forbes wrote last week that military spending has decreased in "New Europe" - that is, the nations formerly part of the Warsaw Pact or the Soviet Union - despite NATO membership and Russia's increased spending.
The analysis is based on statistics from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which show that military spending in the region was 14 percent lower last year compared with in 2000.
"But rather than teaching the West Europeans about the importance of firmness and strength, it appears that the East Europeans have quickly learned that NATO is a giant exercise in free-riding at the expense of the American taxpayer," the article said.
According to the statistics, nearly all ex-Soviet bloc nations managed to increase military spending up to 2007, with the Latvians leading the way, increasing their spending from 2000 to 2007 by more than fourfold. Estonia's spending tripled during the same period.
But after the recession kicked in, Latvia cut its defense budget by half, Lithuania and Estonia by a third. Other nations in the region chose similar paths.
The share of military spending in GDP shows an even clearer picture; only Estonia, Poland, Slovenia and Albania spend a larger portion of GDP on defense than 12 years back, but even those increases have been small, with Albania's boost from 1.2 to 1.5 percent being the frontrunner.
Russia, meanwhile doubled its spending on military from 2000 to 2007, but also managed to increase spending each year since, and now is three times higher than 12 years ago.

For a league that insists it is trying to negotiate a fair labor deal with its own players, the NHL seems more intent on trying to infuriate them more than finding things to agree upon.
Reaction was swift Tuesday after details leaked that the league granted permission for officials of the 30 NHL teams to talk with their locked-out players about its most recent offer in a labor dispute that is six weeks old.
The NHL Players' Association, led by brothers and lead negotiators Donald Fehr and Steve Fehr, is furious that the league allowed owners and general managers to talk to players without notifing the union first.
"Most owners are not allowed to attend bargaining meetings," Steve Fehr, the NHLPA's general counsel, said in a statement to a number of media outlets. "No owners are allowed to speak to the media about the bargaining.
Yahoo! Sports obtained a copy of the memo, which does include a part that specifically tells players to "act through their union" and prohibits team officials from directly dealing with players or inquiring about their opinions on any matters concerning collective bargaining.
But the NHL did allow executives to answer questions players had about their proposal as long as they did not respond "positively or negatively" or "suggest hypothetical proposals". Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Yahoo! Sports' NHL columnist, wrote that some players were receiving calls and texts from their owners and executives.
Ducks players Daniel Winnik and Sheldon Souray said that no one from the club's management team contacted them to discuss the league's proposal. It is not known if any team officials reached out to any other players.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly, in an e-mail to The Associated Press, termed the allowance of contact between players and team officials as a "nonissue and a nonstory." When asked by the Register if the league is concerned that negative reaction from the union will affect negotiations, Daly said, "No, we are not concerned."
"The only way this should affect negotiations is if the union decides that it will affect negotiations," Daly continued in an e-mail. "There is no other conceivable way it could. On what basis is it even objectionable?"
This figures to be an all-important week in the battle for an NHL season. Commissioner Gary Bettman set a deadline of Thursday for a new agreement to be reached in order to play a full 82-game schedule. But it was Bettman who took about 10 minutes to swat away three counterproposals by the NHLPA last week.
The players want to resume talks before then but Daly said "there is nothing to meet about" if there is no new proposal coming or a willingness to negotiate off the league's offer of an immediate 50-50 split of league revenues to be in effect over six years.
And so the billon-dollar game of chicken goes.
