James Kelly b 1883-1884, Manhattan, New York City
This is my grandfather. I have never been able to find any record to establish his parents. I've searched everywhere online and spent days at the New York City archives, searched census records, made lists of NYC James Kellys, etc and still coul dn't find him. He married Winifred McCaffrey sometime between 1900 and 1905. No record of this marriage was found. The only hope I have is if there is a McCaffrey relative out there who might know of a connection. My father died in 1951 and his parents had died years before this. Kids were put in an orphanage and had no clue. My grandmothers sisblings may have the answer to this clue but I haven't found a connection to anyone currently living who might have information. Her brother was James J. McCaffry b 1786. He married Julia Smith. They had 8 children. One, Joseph James McCaffrey b 1908 had a son James Joseph McCaffrey who appears to have posted a message about 2000 but wasn't discovered by me until last year. I emailed this person but it bounced. He may have died in the interim since he probably would be about 80 years old now. One other point is that this family was closely allied to St. Bernard's Catholic Church on 14th. St in Manhattan. Most of this info I've found since my last trip to NYC. I live in Alabama now so I can't do any serching there. I'm 74 yr. old myself. If anyone recognizes something here or has a connectionn to St. Bernard's, I really need some help. In this time period the family always lived in Manhattan on the lower west side. One clue from my father, long before I got into genealogy was that he was a 6th. generation New Yorker.

UN will review Dominican ruling on citizenship
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — U.N. officials say an "exhaustive study" will be undertaken to determine whether a Dominican Republic court decision to strip citizenship from children of Haitian migrants violates international treaties.
Last week's decision by the Constitutional Court applies to residents born after 1929 — a category that overwhelmingly includes descendants of Haitians brought in to work on Dominican farms. The two countries share the island of Hispaniola.
U.N. resident commissioner Lorenzo Jimenez told reporters in the Dominican Republic on Monday that U.N. agencies will present their findings in a couple of weeks. He said the court decision "greatly concerns" the United Nations.
Dominican officials have promised to create a path to legal residency for those whose birth certificates are voided, but have provided no details how this might work.

The Beijing Diaries, Day 9 (Part II): The Great Wall!
November 24, 2012 in Best Of, China, Travel by pacejmiller
November 14
The Great Wall
With my schedule almost free for the afternoon, my plan was to visit the Great Wall of China. I had actually booked a car (for 600 yuan, including tolls) to pick me up from my hotel and drive me to the Great Wall and back, but the problem was that I never expected the closing ceremony to go over time and asked the driver to come at 2pm, meaning I only had an hour and a half to have lunch, get back to the hotel AND write an article and send it off.
By some miracle, I managed to do all of the above in time (a true demonstration of how determination can work wonders), and by 2pm I was in a Volkswagen heading towards the famed Great Wall of China.
There are supposedly three parts of the Great Wall near Beijing that most tourists visit. The nearest is Juyongguan, followed closely by Badaling, with Mutianyu a little further away. Badaling is the most popular and considered the grandest, and I believe it is the one I visited about 20 years ago during my first trip to Beijing. But it's also the most annoying because of all the tourists and vendors and what not. So with my limited time in mind, I decided to go with Juyongguan, which is about an hours drive from the center of Beijing without traffic.
After a fine snooze we arrived at the Juyongguan parking lot. There wasn't a whole lot of the Great Wall I could see from down there, and to be honest it didn't look all that "Great". It was just a long wall rising up on a mountain slope — I don't know what else I was expecting. I paid my entry (40 yuan) and headed in. Apparently it is the beginning of the off-peak season so I was glad that there were hardly any other souls around.
One thing that surprised me was how steep parts of the wall was. It was actually a real challenge walking up and down those steep stairs, which took me all the way up and down various peaks and valleys along the mountainous terrain. The Great Wall is truly impressive when you can stand in a place that enables you to see how long it stretches for. It just goes on and on and on. And on and on.
I had supposedly entered the east side of the Juyongguan part of the wall, and from there I could see the west side, which looked even longer and challenging as it goes all the way up the mountain. According to Wikipedia, the Wall stetches for more than 21,000km, which is more than the journey from Sydney to Beijing and back. Considering the technology they had more than 2,000 years ago, and the fact that much of it is on ridiculously difficult terrain (not to mention how cold it gets in winter), it's no surprise than an estimated 1 million+ people died while building it.
What really freaked me out were the stories that many of the bodies were simply buried into the foundations of the wall, making the Great Wall of China essentially a mass burial ground. That was when walking along the wall for about 20 minutes in the breezy cold without seeing another soul kinda scary (I was was ready to scream if I saw anyone dressed in clothes from another era).
Eventually, I came across a group of Hong Kong tourists, who were so loud that I realized the company of ghosts wouldn't actually have been so bad. I was tempted to keep walking but I knew the later I left the place the longer we would be stuck in traffic on the way back. So after briefly checking out the west side of the wall, I decided it was about enough and returned to the car, roughly about an hour and 45 minutes after I arrived.
Visiting the Great Wall was a strange experience. On the one hand it is just a really long wall, but walking on it and absorbing its majestic grandeur up close and from afar is indeed a powerful experience. It's a unique place that infuses you with a sense of history and wonder, while at the same time making you work up a sweat from all that climbing. Ultimately, considering what a rare opportunity it was, I am glad that I decided to take the trip.
PS: The ride back was, according to the driver, unnaturally smooth. We didn't really hit any traffic until we were near the city, and even then it took about an hour and 40 minutes to get back to the hotel.

LA Fitness, Irvine, CA, and Urban Active, Lexington, KY, announced that they have completed their transaction and that LA Fitness has purchased all 36 Urban Active clubs in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Since their initial announcement on Sept. 10, both LA Fitness and Urban Active have been working to complete the deal and prepare for the transition of the existing Urban Active member base and staff, according to a press release issued to Club Industry.
Several Urban Active members tweeted Thursday that notes were posted at Urban Active clubs that said the clubs would close at 5 p.m. Thursday and would reopen as LA Fitness on Friday.
LA Fitness will honor all of the active membership agreements that it purchased from Urban Active, at their current rate, including those for personal training, according to the press release. In addition:
- All active Urban Active members with multi-club, multi-state privileges will have access to all Urban Active and LA Fitness locations except signature and New York clubs.
- All active Urban Active members with multi-club, single-state privileges will have access to all Urban Active and LA Fitness locations in the state where they joined, except signature clubs.
- All active single-club members will have the same access they have now to the Urban Active location where they joined.
A spokesperson for Urban Active told Club Industry that CEO Royce Pulliam is not doing interviews at this time. However, in September, Pulliam told Lexington, KY, TV station WKYT that Urban Active had had discussions with LA Fitness about a possible sale for the past several years and that the timing was right, calling the sale a bittersweet moment.
Of the 36 Urban Active clubs acquired in the deal, 19 are in Ohio, 10 are in Kentucky, three are in Tennessee and one each are in Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
One of the Urban Active clubs has already closed: the 27,000-square-foot Deerfield club in Mason, OH. Those members are being relocated to the 50,000-square-foot LA Fitness club in Symmes, OH.
Many of Urban Active's employees have accepted positions with LA Fitness, according to the press release.
Urban Active was No. 9 on Club Industry's Top 100 Clubs list this year with $107.5 million in 2011 revenue. LA Fitness was No. 2 on this year's list with an estimated $1.2 billion in 2011 revenue.
Compared to the previous two LA Fitness acquisitions involving Bally Total Fitness clubs and Lifestyle Family Fitness clubs, the acquisition of Urban Active took longer to complete. LA Fitness took about two weeks to complete the deals with Bally and Lifestyle Family Fitness. The Urban Active deal took a little more than six weeks to complete.
The Bally and Lifestyle Family Fitness acquisitions produced some initial frustrations for members of the acquired clubs. In January, former Bally members sued both Bally and LA Fitness, saying LA Fitness violated their membership contracts after the November 2011 acquisition.
Earlier this month, LA Fitness cancelled its Les Mills and Silver Sneakers programs at the former Lifestyle Family Fitness clubs, angering some members, according to a report in the Tampa Bay Times. LA Fitness confirmed to Club Industry it has closed three clubs it acquired from Lifestyle Family Fitness in July. The Hillsborough, FL, club closed on Aug. 10, and two clubs in Pinellas County, FL—the Tyrone club and the Palm Harbor club—closed on Oct. 1.

If you thought Love, Actually, Valentine's Day and Armageddon starred a lot of famous actors, then wait 'til you see the trailer for Movie: The Movie.
Bringing all the best (ie worst) qualities of that kind of blockbuster hit, Movie: The Movie - as devised by Jimmy Kimmel - delivers in all the right ways. George Clooney in a wheelchair? Matt Damon as a bunch of grapes? Check Stephen Tyler singing an anthem which features such lyrics as "Freedom is meatier than a meteor of freedom"? Check.
As well as the names above, the trailer features no less than Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Martin Scorsese, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Don Cheadle, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Biel, Jason Bateman, Edward Norton, Colin Farrell and many more.

Yankees SS Jeter done for year with ankle injury
September 11, 2013
BALTIMORE (AP) — New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Jeter last played Saturday against Boston. He was removed for a pinch runner after hurting his left ankle, and although a CT scan was negative, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that the shortstop will be shut down for the season.
Jeter started the year on the disabled list after breaking his left ankle in the 2012 playoffs. He played in only 17 games, batting .190 with one homer and seven RBIs.
The 39-year-old Jeter is New York's career hits leader with 3,316 and also ranks first in games played and stolen bases.

Sunday was the final day of the World Cup in Tokyo. There was such incredible riding here today. As the tide gets lower, the tension in the rope gets higher, and handle passing becomes increasingly harder. But that didn't slow anyone down. At 10 am on the dot the pro women were underway. Angelika Schriber had a killer run, with a roll to blind and a blind judge, that landed her in first place in the womens. Right on her heels was Cosima Giemza who landed a dumb dumb off the kicker for the first time all weekend in the finals. Taking up third spot was Denise De Haan with a flawless run as well.
I was in the second heat in the semis. I started out really strong, with a toeside 270 transfer, followed by some toe side and heelside air tricks. Then, as I approached the kicker I knew I had to go all out, so I went for the mute double half cab roll. Unfortunately, the kicker out here is a bit smaller than what I'm used to, and I under rotated. Because there is only one kicker, its important to land it. So that put me just outside the finals, with Dominik, Laszlo Papp, and James young making it through to the finals. The final was a spectacular showing. Freddie Von Osten killed it, with an inside front mobe, outside crowmobe, and switch toeside backside 450 transfer to name a few, landing him in the top spot. Dominik was right on his heels, as was James Young, both landing crow mobes off the flats and raley 540's. These guys are always able to land their runs, despite the tide or the conditions. The contest wrapped up with the awards ceremony where the riders were presented with their trophies and checks.
After that we went to the city to experience Tokyo. This is such a different place. The culture here is very conservative compared to most of the places around the world. For instance, if you have tattoos, you are not allowed in the pool area. A giant group of us hopped on the metro from the hotel to the city center. Here we passed by all types of people. In Japan, it's the traditional wear for men is business slacks with short sleeve, white button down shirts. An astonishing 75 percent of the men here dress traditionally. That is quite different than the variety of clothes you see worn in the US.
The metro rail was an adventure in and of itself. Deciphering the Japanese map on the wall, and then finding someone who spoke English proved to be quite the challenge. Once we were on our way, the view from the metro alone was amazing. After almost an hour of connecting train rails, we arrived at our destination which was swarming with locals. From here the group of foreign wakeboarders began ferociously snapping photos as if it was going out of style. After enough media was captured to feed a small village, we started to look for a place to dine. Trying to accommodate a group of 30 people in a last minute dinner is something I never wish upon anyone. Eventually, we all went our separate ways according to our tastes, and met back at the metro later on.
Every part of this event was extraordinary for me. From the riding to the people, I had an amazing time. Coming from a boat riding back ground, the thing I love about cable is that it is truly an international sport. There were somewhere around 20 countries represented among the 44 riders here. When the riding is all said and done, its the friendships we develop along the way that remain. I'm so grateful for the friendships I've made this trip, and I can't wait until the next one.

Dahlias: From Garden to Vase
In general, I'm not of the mind that you've got to have big, showy blooms to make a beautiful flower arrangement. I pride myself on my use of seeds and pods and grasses and weird, twisted branches. I've been known to make bouquets from withered corn husks, for God's sake. But the sad fact is, when it comes to dahlias, I am totally and completely smitten. Those tarty showstoppers, in all their endless variety and charm, seem to lure me again and again all season long.
In the Garden
Dahlias are relatively easy to grow, and many of them are seriously prolific bloomers, making for lots and lots of flowers to bring inside for bouquets. In my neck of the woods, where we rarely get freezes, they're hardy enough that you can leave the tubers in the ground and they'll crop back up every summer. In colder climes you'll have to dig them up when it gets cold and plant them again in the spring.
You'll want to plant your dahlias in a sunny spot, with nice loose soil for good drainage. Taller varieties will need to be staked, and all dahlias are delicious meals for slugs, so you'll want to use a non-toxic slug bait to try and keep the chompers away. If you don't have drip irrigation, water deeply about once a week (or more if it's really hot).
Dahlias do require some maintenance if you want them to produce lots of blooms: you'll need to cut off spent buds and flowers often to keep the plant healthy. But dead-heading is kind of fun and relaxing, especially when you reward yourself at the end by cutting some lovely still-fresh flowers to bring inside for your table.
In the Vase
Cut dahlias in the morning, and try to get them when they've first opened for maximum vase life. As always, you'll want to harvest your flowers by cutting precisely at a fork in the stem.
Certain varieties of dahlias last longer in water than others, and they do benefit from proper conditioning. After you bring them inside, give them a fresh, angled cut while holding the stem UNDER WATER, then transfer them to the clean water in your prepared vase. (This is a technique that never seems all that helpful to me when it comes to other flowers, but dahlias really need the extra step for hydration.)
Even a single dahlia stem can be gorgeous and dramatic in a vase or jar. Giant dinner-plate dahlias or the sculptural sphere-shaped varieties are especially stunning on their own. They're also amazing as focal flowers in mixed bouquets—you really can't go wrong! For a romantic, sophisticated monochrome look, mix dahlias with other flowers in a similar color palette but with different textures, then bring in branches and pods to give the bouquet some structure. (Check out the gorgeousness from Saipua in the second photo above.)
Can't get enough of dahlias, like me? Here's some more inspiration from our archives:

Battling Depression . . . Together
In 1954, speaking of spiritual depression, Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, "I have no hesitation in asserting that one of the reasons why the Christian Church counts for so little in the modern world is that so many Christians are in this condition."
It's striking to hear of how common the struggle was in his day. Depression is no stranger to the great leaders in church history (in fact, it affected quite a lot of them), but neither is depression uncommon in the church today.
So what do we, as a church, do about it? We recently asked biblical counselor Ed Welch. Here's what he said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT men's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to 10 following a 1-0 victory over Clark University in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) contest on Saturday. Jonathan Tebes registered the lone goal of the contest in the 74th minute for the Engineers, who are currently ranked No. 7 in the latest NCAA New England Regional poll.
The first half was a defensive battle although MIT (10-2-1, 4-0-1 NEWMAC) had a 10-2 advantage in shots and a 4-1 edge in corner kicks. Baran Doenmez nearly put the Cougars (5-7-2, 1-2-2 NEWMAC) on the board when he was awarded a free kick just outside the box early in the half. However, his low shot was smothered by MIT goalie Dylan Rankin. Clark almost struck again with 18 minutes remaining in the frame courtesy of a bending free kick by William Van Noppen from 30 yards out. Doenmez redirected the ball, but Rankin hauled in the save.
Christian Therkelsen tested Clark netminder Alphonso Alvarez on the ensuing counter attack with a bouncing shot, but Alvarez denied the scoring opportunity. With less than five minutes to play in the half, MIT's Ben Lewis sent a throughball which was initially stopped by a charging Alvarez. Therkelsen corralled the loose ball and managed to get a shot off which was turned away by the defense. Zachary Kabelac gathered the rebound but his follow up was off target.
Early in the second stanza, Kabelac and Doenmez both had breakaways but their shots were just wide of the net. Alvarez came up with a pair of big saves on a left-footed strike by Matthew Monheit and then a curving blast from Therkelsen.
In the 67th minute, Van Noppen sent a dangerous free kick from 40 yards away that bent around the defense. Unfortunately Clark was unable to capitalize and put a shot on goal.
The Engineers ended the deadlock in the 74th minute when Tebes took the ball away from Trevor Hendry in the Cougars' backfield. Facing just Alvarez, Tebes sent a low shot that grazed the inside of the far post and bounced in for his third marker of the season.
Down the stretch, Alvarez denied Chase Anderson on a pair of point blank attempts helping keep Clark within striking distance. The Cougars maintained possession during the final minutes of play, but the Cardinal and Gray's defense was impenetrable.
Rankin finished the day with three saves en route to his fourth shutout of the season while Alvarez collected seven saves in his first appearance of the year.
Next up for MIT will be its regular-season finale on Saturday, Oct. 30 when it hosts conference foe Wheaton College. Clark returns home on Wednesday, Oct. 26 for a non-conference tilt with Framingham State College.

Normally, you can add stops if you wish to take the long way, but you would have to pay the difference in price. Base salary? This is likely not a single number.

All of us should by now be intimately familiar with this argument. It is the foundation of the arguments used by a religious friend of mine that I met on MySpace and have argued extensively on the whole Atheism v. Religion thing. And it is the argument that religious people use the most in my experience to justify their beliefs. And now we know that it is used to justify any beliefs, even those held by atheists, e.g. the existence of free will.
The argument goes, you cannot prove that what I say isn't true, so maybe it is! Wonderfully simplistic. And here is why it can be so frustrating and devastating. It instantly puts any position on the same footing as any other. By saying that there is no proof for any position (there so very rarely is incontrovertible proof), 2 things are accomplished. First, it is used to break down your own position to their level. Your claims aren't proved, and neither are theirs. Who is to say who is right or wrong? Secondly, it can be used to justify nearly any belief. You don't believe in gremlins? But can you prove they don't exist? Then you could JUST AS EASILY be wrong!
I say we call this argument for what it is, and refuse to entertain the arguments of people who use it. It is a matter for epistemological discussion, and when lack of proof becomes any sort of issue it instantly turns into a, epistemological debate, one which distracts from the argument at hand. Epistemological debates need to be cordoned-off from debates about nearly anything else (metaphysical debates on the other hand are usually so inextricably linked that they become one and the same argument).

Cool picture Mr. Black! Thanks, I've saved it.
Orion, I completely agree with your treatment of the problem of free will. However, this discussion is not about free will. The discussion is about how people (theists, mostly) argue that since you can't prove them wrong, then this means that they could be right.

It's just a Southern California Saturday at the grocery store -- cantaloupe and kiwi and kumquats -- when Jerome Stanley suddenly hears from his best friend, who's uncontrollably screeching into Stanley's cellphone: "They're all dead!"
"Who's dead?" Stanley frantically asks Brian Shaw.
"Who's everybody?"
"My whole family is dead," Shaw tells him. "They all died in a car accident."
That was 20 years ago this past week.
The mother, father and sister of the new Nuggets coach were driving from Oakland, Calif., to Las Vegas. They were only 10 minutes from the house in Vegas when Shaw's father, Charles, fell asleep at the wheel. The only survivor of the one-car crash was his 11-month-old niece, Brianna, who is named after her beloved uncle.
"At 8:30 in the morning, Brian was in Oakland, preparing for a barbecue at home with his friends, and by 2 in the afternoon he's in Las Vegas, sitting in a mortuary," said Stanley, Shaw's longtime agent and friend. "It couldn't have been more surreal. He's numb, just numb, just beyond anything. It was unfathomable, that's exactly what it was."
Tuesday, the day before the 20th anniversary of the fatal crash, the Nuggets introduced Shaw as the 20th head coach in team history. A former NBA guard, the 47-year-old Shaw emerged in recent years as a dynamic assistant coach, first under the legendary Phil Jackson and most recently under Pacers head coach Frank Vogel, who guided Indiana to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals this year.
Those who know Shaw well say the dedication, heart and strength that defines Shaw the coach is an offshoot of Shaw the man, a survivor.
"He's extremely loyal," Stanley said. "He's the most strong-willed person I know. You can call it stubborn, but when he sets his mind on a particular thing, that's it. His mom used to tell me, 'You've got to talk to him about that.'
"He's also the most jovial guy in the room. You're going to like that guy. He's not trying to make you like him, it's just because he's gifted in interpersonal relationships. He's articulate, he's thoughtful and he continues to grow."
From the worst to the best
She received the call and started to screech into the cellphone.
"I literally screamed, I was so excited for him," Brianna Jones said.
Monday, the 20-year-old Arizona State University student received a call from the woman she now calls her mother. It was Nikki Shaw, telling her that Brian Shaw had just been offered the Denver coaching job.
"It's been a long time coming for him," Jones said. "I had just walked into my apartment, so I know my neighbors were like, 'What is going on?' "
Stanley remembers the image of the baby in the hospital. The tubes connected to her tiny body. When he and Shaw first saw Brianna at the hospital, Stanley knew what would happen next.
"It wasn't anything we had to give second thought to," said Shaw, who was 27 and a Miami Heat guard at the time of the 1993 accident. "She didn't ask to be put in the situation that she was, and we were very close as a family. She was only 11 months old, but she had been around me my entire time."
Brian became Brianna's new father. Technically, he became her legal guardian. First he signed temporary custody papers while at the hospital and later made it official in court, because he had to win guardianship against Brianna's estranged father.
And so, one of the worst stories led to one of the best -- an NBA player raising the daughter of his sister who had died.
"Words can't even describe how thankful I am to them," said Jones, who still has her father's last name but refers to the Shaws as her parents. "It's been amazing how they took me in. They were young when they took me in. It's opened up opportunities for me for a lifetime that I'm more than grateful for. It's just amazing."
Brianna is pre-med at Arizona State, planning to become a dermatologist. She will turn 21 on July 11. She plans to celebrate in Las Vegas. That's where her grandparents and mother, Monica, were driving to that fateful night. They were going there to celebrate Monica's 24th birthday.
"That's going to be my wife someday"
These movie-scene moments actually happen. This vision of a woman walked into the backyard on a sunny summer day, and Shaw turned to his friend and said, "That's going to be my wife someday."
Brian and Nikki met at a barbecue that 1987 day, and though Brian was a basketball star at UC Santa Barbara, "I had to pursue her," he said. "She tried to play hard to get."
More than a year later, it was near Thanksgiving and Shaw was a rookie with the Boston Celtics. The pursuit had paid off -- one of Nikki's and Brian's first big dates together would be Thanksgiving dinner.
"My mom (Barbara) and my grandmother were very good cooks," Shaw said. "I told (Nikki) she had big shoes to fill. She told me she had been cooking since she was a little girl, and when the food came out, it looked just like the food my mother and grandmother would prepare. So probably the first, deep connection I had with her was with my stomach.
"She could cook, and that's the biggest compliment I could really give a woman -- that she reminds me of my mother."
In 1994, Shaw was traded by Miami to the Orlando Magic and that's when he and Nikki began living together. She took classes at culinary school; he took defenders to school. And in 1998, they became the Shaws.
Tuesday, when the Nuggets announced Shaw's hiring, this was in the news release: "Shaw and his wife Nikki have three children: Brianna, B.J. and Bianca."
Sitting in the quiet Nuggets locker room Tuesday, Shaw was asked about seeing his family in his family.
"My youngest daughter, Bianca, who's 12, and my son B.J., who's 14, they're almost exactly like the relationship my sister and I had," Shaw said. "My daughter is like my sister and my son is more laid-back like me. So they remind me of my sister and me.
"My parents, I feel like they did a great job raising me. And if I can be half the parent they were, then I'm really doing something."
They're always with him
The image, clouded by champagne in his eyes, is still clear. Shaw was in the celebratory locker room -- his Los Angeles Lakers team had just won one of its three NBA titles (2000-02).
"It was bittersweet," he said. "I remember looking around the locker room and everybody's spraying champagne, and I'd see Shaquille O'Neal's parents, Kobe Bryant's parents, Derek Fisher's parents, and I'd think -- my parents deserve to be here too."
Shaw said their presence is omnipresent. He doesn't just think about his parents and sister every day, he feels them. He honored them at the Denver news conference when his dream became a reality and, after a dozen interviews with NBA teams, he finally became a head coach. They're always with him.
"There will be times when I'm driving too fast, and I remember when I first started to drive, my mother would say 'slow down,' " Shaw said. "And I'll be driving, thinking about something else, and I can hear her voice say 'slow down.' And lo and behold, up the road there will be a highway patrolman there. So I feel that they're still looking out for me."
"The main thing I learned after the accident is that tomorrow isn't promised. The more you experience things like that, it puts everything in perspective -- what's really important in life. ... When you see people at odds, bickering or not speaking to one another, I'm always quick to jump in and say, 'Listen, whatever you're bickering about, it's petty in the bigger scheme of things. Get over it and enjoy one another while you're here.' "
Brianna's mother is always with her, just like Brian's mother is always with him. Brianna wasn't yet a year old when the crash happened, but over the years, she's soaked up stories about the woman who gave her life -- and whose memory teaches her how to live.
Wednesday was the 20th anniversary of the day when everything changed.
"It really hit me when I was in the shower, because when you're in the shower, that's when you have time to think," Brianna said. "There were definitely tears. I don't remember the accident, and I don't have memories of my mom and my grandparents, but the impact of it all hit me -- I don't get to experience what most people get to with their mom and grandparents."
Shaw's legacy has yet to be written. Will the new coach lead the Nuggets on a playoff run, perhaps someday hoisting the golden trophy he did thrice as a Lakers player, twice as a Lakers assistant? Or will the new coach flail while under pressure and fail in the big chair?
Either way, perhaps, his legacy has already been written.
"He's just an exceptional dude," Stanley said. "His father was a strong, influential guy -- he was a loyal leader, great friend. His mother was an exceptional woman. She dedicated herself to helping people, helping disadvantaged kids. He just had great parents.
"So that's what you see, the manifestation of great parents."

Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday's loss to the Seahawks, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Join me after the jump as I attempt to cover every angle.
For the second straight week, the Jets lost by 21 points. At last, some consistency!
The Jets did make some changes this week but none of them really had a significant positive effect. The end result was the same: Killer mistakes undoing any good work and preventing the Jets from stringing together enough plays to be successful.
While the Jets were in the game deep into the second half - and arguably blew so many chances while the game was close that they should have been leading - they're an easy team to beat right now. I'm just an amateur, but I could give any team a list of things to do against this Jets team that will be successful most of the time and will probably net you enough big plays to be the difference in the game. I'd also note that this was not the case over the past few years, where it was different things every week that would let the Jets down. While I'm not going to list those things here, because I don't feel comfortable with putting up a blueprint of how to beat the Jets, it probably doesn't matter because every team the Jets seem to face has done its preparation and identified these things for themselves. This enables them to exploit some very obvious weaknesses in the Jets line-up. (Maybe I'll do it after the season is over). Needless to say, when the Jets do the same things to their opponents, they never have quite the same level of success.
Let's look at some of those individual performances:
If you've read BGA over the years, you'll know what I think about Mark Sanchez. When he isn't decisive, he isn't very good. His red zone interception and his fumble in the second half couldn't have illustrated this any better. I'm not sure what else needs to be said. However, let's not forget that when he is decisive, he can play well. So, how do they get him back to playing more decisively? Ummm...
Rex Ryan keeps saying that Sanchez gives the Jets the best chance to win. I think a decisive Sanchez does give them the best chance to win, but he hasn't been decisive. The indecisive Sanchez we've seen over the past few games isn't an upgrade over anyone. Not even Tim Tebow. Right now, his confidence looks crushed and the juggling act of trying to get Tebow involved while trying not to adversely impact Sanchez's rhythm is failing badly.
It's barely worth trying to break down Sanchez's throws because you could count the good ones on one hand. In fact, if you were being strict, you could probably count them on one finger. He hit Jeremy Kerley in stride for a big play and most of the rest of his completions were dumpoffs - and even some of those were inaccurate. He did hit Clyde Gates downfield for a first down, but that was a risky throw that a defensive back just missed getting his hands on. He also hit Dustin Keller downfield for two first downs but one was so low that Keller had to dive to catch it and the other saw Keller wide open but the ball was delivered late and floated to him, perhaps costing him some extra yardage.
As for the rest of his throws, there were ill-advised tosses into tight coverage and inaccurate passes where he missed his target. However, once again my biggest concern was his blitz recognition. On a couple of occasions, blitzers came unblocked off the edge to sack him. While it's possible one of his blockers missed an assignment, that's still almost certainly on him to make sure he calls the protection correctly and gets rid of the ball when he sees the blitz coming. In each case, Lex Hilliard - who one would expect to know Sparano's scheme as well as anyone - could have potentially picked up the blitz, but either ran an underneath route or blocked on the other side instead. The Jets have to be able to deal with this otherwise they may never put together another scoring drive.
Last week, I said the Jets needed a rethink in terms of Tim Tebow's role. With two weeks to prepare, they installed a new play where there was no back in the backfield so that his option changed from handoff/run to dumpoff/run. This did net them a few first downs but ultimately just 27 yards on eight plays. Once again, they had 3rd and two and then 4th and one but didn't use him and came up short. Then when they had third and goal at the two, they DID use him and Keller false started. Still no touchdowns for Tebow, which is hard to fathom. If the Jets had the best short yardage offense in the NFL (which they should) maybe that would have been enough to elevate them from underachieving to in-the-mix. It's probably too late now.
My proposal: Get them to alternate series instead of changing them out during a drive. Maybe give Tebow every third drive like they do with Vladimir Ducasse. If he goes three and out, so what? That's what Sanchez is doing half the time anyway. Even if they do adopt that plan, I still would bring in Tebow as soon as they got inside the three yard line and on every third or fourth and short.
Offensive Line
Other than those mix-ups that led to unblocked rushers coming off the edge, Sanchez can't really blame his pass protection too much. Austin Howard did get beaten badly for a sack and also gave up a handful of pressures and D'Brickashaw Ferguson gave up a big hit from Chris Clemons. He only got beaten for one other pressure though - on the first play of the game. The interior line didn't surrender any pressure, other than on one play where Tebow held the ball for far too long and Mangold's man eventually got into his face. That play ended up being a first down due to a penalty. Off the bench, Jason Smith gave up a pressure, as did Ducasse, who blocked his guy initially but then allowed him to stunt to the outside.
The running game wasn't too bad with 84 yards on 22 carries despite not breaking a single run of 10 yards. The fact that they fell behind really hurt the Jets by taking away the option of continuing to run the ball. The starters basically all did okay in the running game, with Mangold and Brandon Moore standing out. When runs did fail it often came down to bad reads or bad blocks by the fullback or tight ends. That includes Jason Smith who allowed his man to burst into the background to blow up Shonn Greene on fourth and one.
The Jets have had some success in recent weeks when Ducasse entered the game, but he didn't get much of an opportunity this week. They gained 12 net yards on 11 plays with him in there. It wasn't directly his fault - in fact he had a good driving block on one play - but that was disappointing to see.
As a whole, the offensive line isn't playing badly right now. I can't see any obvious changes that they could make with this unit to improve matters.
Running Backs
Shonn Greene picked up 58 yards on 15 carries, but was unable to benefit from continuing to carry the ball deep into the fourth quarter and wearing down the defense. Contrast that with Marshawn Lynch, who only gained 45 yards on his first 15 carries, but was able to carry the ball another 12 times for 79 more yards as the Jets defense became worn out. Greene's vision and decision making have been a lot better in the last few games, but here he left some yards on the field as he went up the middle for a short gain when there was a wide open lane over the right side.
Bilal Powell's return to the lineup saw him gain seven yards on his only carry before going down with an injury on special teams. He also caught a four yard pass which was notable because since week three he had been targeted nine times with just one catch for one yard (although four of those were batted down at the line).
Lex Hilliard's struggles extended beyond the mix-ups in pass protection. He also had an inconsistent day as a blocker, dropped a pass and got beaten for a pressure. He and Greene did catch one short pass each.
Once again Jeremy Kerley led the Jets in receiving, although other than his 43 yard catch (where he was caught from behind for at least the third time this year), he was targeted seven times for a total of just 14 yards. Still, that was much better than any of the other receivers. Clyde Gates caught one ten yard pass, Stephen Hill had no catches on two targets, Chaz Schilens wasn't targeted and Jason Hill didn't even get on the field.
At tight end, Dustin Keller's performance was extremely disappointing too. He ended up with three catches for 47 yards, but had two costly false start penalties, a third down drop and a couple of bad missed blocks.
The backups, Jeff Cumberland and Konrad Reuland each had at least one bad block and weren't targeted in the passing game, although Reuland did draw a holding penalty on one of Tebow's throws.
Defensive Line
As I've already mentioned, the run defense held up well until late in the second half, where I would attribute the fact that Lynch was able to break some longer runs to the tiredness of the Jets' front seven. The pass rush was also good, although much of the pressure actually came from the linebackers.
It was a case of good news/bad news in respect of Sione Po'uha. The good news was that he had a strong start to the game and was more disruptive than he has been in most of the games so far this season. It certainly looked like the two week layoff had had a positive effect on his ailing back, although I hasten to add that a performance like this still falls well short of his outstandingly consistent play last year where he was extremely disruptive in almost every game. The bad news is that, although he still played quite well, he wasn't as good in the second half as he was in the first half. Maybe that was because he would suffer more than most with the strain that the Jets' offensive woes put on the defense, but it will depend on how he responds to treatment this week as to whether there's any chance at all of him being able to play two games in five nights in the run-up to Thanksgiving.
Mike DeVito was also up and down, but did make some big impact plays - notably the strip sack that led to a touchdown and a big wrap-up tackle in the backfield. There were a few plays where he got driven off the line or to the ground and there was also a play where he could have had another sack on Russell Wilson but missed the tackle.
Muhammad Wilkerson scored his first NFL touchdown when he ran back the fumble forced by DeVito, but that was not his only impact, as he added a forced fumble, a couple of QB hits, a pressure and four run stuffs, including one on third down. He did see a lot of double teams too and wasn't always able to hold his ground. He was driven out of the play on Lynch's short touchdown run for example. However, this was another dominant performance from the second year man.
Quinton Coples didn't have as much of an impact as Wilkerson, but still came up with a couple of pressures and a tackle for a loss. Although it was otherwise a quiet game, he did manage to limit any negative plays, although he was another one to miss a potential sack on Wilson by letting him break his tackle.
Finally, Damon Harrison was active once again, but only really saw action in the goal line packages. He almost made the stop on Lynch's touchdown run, getting some penetration and grabbing hold of Lynch, but was unable to prevent him from breaking the plane.
It was the linebacker position that yielded the most interesting performances this week, almost across the board. The Jets had made some tweaks to their rotations, notably making Aaron Maybin a healthy scratch and promoting Ricky Sapp to the active roster for his first NFL game. They also gave Garrett McIntyre some rotational reps and split duties between Demario Davis and Bart Scott alongside David Harris.
The first thing to note, which I would imagine went largely unnoticed, is that Bryan Thomas had probably his best performance since 2010. Thomas had three pressures and half a sack as a pass rusher and was in on four run stuffs, including one on a key third down play. He did a good job of setting the edge all day and wasn't really taken out of any plays.
Perhaps the most confounding performance came from Calvin Pace. Pace had a terrific first half performance with four pressures, a fumble recovery and a batted pass with no real negative plays. However, the script flipped and he was as bad in the second half as he had been good in the first half. It started with a bad missed tackle on third down in the flat, then continued as he misread and overran the play three times, enabling Wilson to roll out to the right for some big first downs. Finally, he had another missed tackle. In the second half, he had no positive plays, making it one of the more Jeckyll/Hyde type performances I can recall seeing.
I don't think he's going to grade out that badly but I was extremely disappointed with the performance of David Harris. Although the defense played well in the first half, Harris was rarely around the football which is completely out of character. He had hardly any influence on the fact that the Jets were able to more or less shut the Seahawks down for most of the half. At the same time, it didn't seem like he was getting taken out of too many plays, which is usually the case in his quieter performances. Maybe the Seahawks deliberately stayed away from him and tried attacking different parts of the defense instead. I don't know. Harris made more noise in the second half, getting in on four run stuffs, including one in the backfield and adding a half sack and one pressure. He did also have two bad missed tackles - one to enable Lynch to break it to the second level for the first time all day and the other to allow Golden Tate to break away from him in the flat and convert on third down.
For someone who was not expected to play, Scott played extremely hard. He was attacking the line of scrimmage all day and blew up several runs. He also added a sack and a pressure. It wasn't until late in the game that he had any negative plays, as he was another one that seemed to tire at the end.
I still believe that Scott's recent reduction in playing time is more down to his health than his level of play and this game was further evidence of that as he certainly outplayed Davis. Davis overpursued a couple of plays, took some bad angles, gave up a couple of catches and got blocked out of a few plays. He did get some pressure in the pass rush, but let himself down with a missed tackle on Wilson in the pocket.
In his NFL debut, Sapp gave a strong account of himself. He chased Wilson out to the sideline on one play and beat the left tackle on the outside a few times, including once where he chased Wilson from the pocket. He also had one blitz where he lined up on the edge and went up the middle, creating a lane for his teammate to get the sack. There was one running play where he was driven back off the line and then tried to get back into the play but Lynch was able to drive the pile for about eight yards, but other than that he didn't do anything wrong - although maybe he should have recovered that fumble. He seems to have done enough to earn at least a second look.
McIntyre stuffed one run and beat his man for a pressure, but Marcus Dowtin and Nick Bellore just played on special teams.
Defensive Backs
Antonio Cromartie continues to lead the secondary, making a big hit in the flat and breaking up a pass in the end zone. However, that pass breakup came as he was fooled by a flea-flicker and had to recover and he was also fooled on the WR option pass and beaten for a score. It's good that Cromartie has been more aggressive in run support this year - and he did make one good run stop - but the Seahawks took note of that and exploited it. Cromartie also overpursued on one other running play. His performance in coverage has been almost flawless since Revis went down, but he can't afford to try and do too much and start missing coverage assignments as a result.
Kyle Wilson got off to a disappointing start, giving up a first down on Seattle's second play of the game and then a touchdown on the next play. In each case, he was in pretty good position, but still continues to be out-physicalled by receivers at this level. Despite all the vitriol hurled at him, it is worth noting that he didn't give up a catch over the entire rest of the game and was in good position on two more incompletions.
With Isaiah Trufant suffering an early injury, Ellis Lankster saw a lot of action as the slot corner. While he did a great job as a pass rusher (one hit, one pressure, one strip sack), he also got beaten for a touchdown and one other first down and missed a couple of tackles.
At safety, Yeremiah Bell was flagged for an illegal hit late in the game on what was one of the worst calls of the season so far. However, he got away with a flag despite the protestations of the crowd when he tackled a scrambling Wilson on the outside. Alongside him, LaRon Landry had a poor game with three more missed tackles, a blown coverage and a pass interference penalty in the end zone. There was also one play where he lined up close to the line of scrimmage and shot the gap which not only opened up a big hole behind him, but also took out his teammate (Thomas) on his outside shoulder, preventing him from being able to stop the play too. Landry did make one good open field tackle on Wilson.
Eric Smith also saw plenty of action but did not have much of an impact - positively or negatively.
Special Teams
The special teams unit continues to be a disaster. Nick Folk had a kickoff out of bounds, Kerley had another momentum-shifting muff and Robert Malone continues to outkick his coverage. Marcus Dowtin added a penalty, Lankster had a missed tackle, Hilliard badly blew a block and Gates had only one kickoff return past the 20.
On the positive side, Malone did land four kicks inside the 20 and Aaron Berry and Davis each had good tackles in coverage.
This unit is still playing poorly though and we don't expect that from a Mike Westhoff unit. It's a sorry state of affairs in what should be his farewell season.
While, on paper, this looked like a really tough game for the Jets, in weighing it up during the week, I was confident that the Jets could do a pretty good job defensively against the run - especially once I heard that Po'uha and Scott would play. What I was not expecting was for the Jets to be able to get so much pressure on Wilson, although I did have hope that the secondary could limit the damage. In that respect, you could say that the defensive performance exceeded my expectations. With the running game still not clicking on all cylinders, but still much better than it had been early on in the season, everything was set up for Sanchez to be able to win this game for the Jets.
In retrospect, maybe it was set up for Sanchez to be the difference in the game and that he was. While I don't expect big numbers from Sanchez, especially against the Seahawks' formidable secondary, it shouldn't be too much to ask to expect mild competence. However, even this eluded him and this turned out to be yet another game where the Jets are chasing uphill all day long and suffer constant setbacks as they perpetually shoot themselves in the foot. It's not all his fault and, as noted above, he IS capable of playing well. Right now, the Jets season is taking on the same characteristic as those all-too-often seen games. They are chasing uphill and suffering constant setbacks. The margin of error which was already almost nothing is now at absolute zero and the Jets seemingly have no traction whatsoever to turn things around.
There are some (other) lousy teams on the schedule coming up, so plenty of winnable games, but unfortunately the Jets have three games to make up just to get to .500 and right now don't look like a team that's capable of winning one in row, let alone three. Still, a win on Sunday against Schottenheimer, Hunter, Mulligan and Co. gets them back to 4-6 and they made the postseason from 4-6 in 2009, so you never know...
...okay, sometimes you know.
We're back to normal service now, so hit me with your BGA questions in the comments section and I will answer them for you in BGA Extra on Wednesday or Thursday.

Editorial: State Senate Health Care Committee should vote on abortion measure
Monday's public hearing comes just two days before an April 3 cutoff deadline. Chairman Randi Becker, R-Eatonville, should hold a vote on the Reproductive Parity Act.
Seattle Times Editorial
AFTER the Senate Health Care Committee hearing on the Reproductive Parity Act Monday, members should vote for it before a key deadline Wednesday.
State lawmakers do not need to complicate this issue. House Bill 1044 would maintain insurance coverage for women seeking abortions after federal health reforms take effect.
Insurance providers need clarity and predictability.
So do those women who make this private decision in consultation with their doctors.
The House passed the bill Feb. 22, and Gov. Jay Inslee promises to sign it into law.
Senate Health Care Committee Chairman Randi Becker, R-Eatonville, scheduled the public hearing on Monday — only two days before a key legislative cutoff.
Ranking member Karen Keiser, D-Kent, says all four of the committee's Democrats support HB 1044, but anti-abortion Republicans hold a one-seat majority.
She is skeptical those members would let the bill advance to the Rules Committee, where it's unclear whether it has the votes to move to the floor.
The Reproductive Parity Act merits consideration by the full Senate, where so far it appears to have broader support.
Anti-abortion Republicans on the Health Care and Rules committees should not go against Washington's tradition of supporting a woman's privacy.

As a new session begins, I appreciate the trust and confidence you have put in me to be your representative. It's an honor to represent Grundy County, Northern Hardin County, and Southern Butler County in the Iowa House and I will do my best to represent the views of our district. I am beginning my fourth term in the Iowa House and will be serving as the Chair of the Agriculture Committee. I come to Des Moines to make the hard decisions and do what's best for the people back home, not the Des Moines' special interests.
Education Reform Proposal
For my first newsletter, I am focusing on education reform. This is an important topic and I am interested in your thoughts of what education reform should look like. While this is the governor's proposal, the bill will go through the legislative process and will probably have some changes. The Governor released this plan for his Education Reform proposal last week. The Education Committee assigned the bill to a subcommittee of seven legislators on Tuesday and they will begin subcommittee meetings next week. The bill consists of five components:
1. Teacher Leadership and Compensation phases in over three years
o Raises base teacher salaries from $28,000 to $35,000
o Creates career pathways for teachers
Initial Teacher 0-2 years, formal evaluations annually
Career Teacher full time in classroom
Model Teacher full time in classroom, classroom is open to observation by others, contract extended 5 days and $2,000 minimum additional salary
Mentor Teacher 75% in the classroom, 25% developing other teachers, contract extended 10 days and $5,000 minimum additional salary
Lead Teacher 50% in the classroom, 50% developing other teachers, contract extended 15 days and $10,000 additional salary
Emeritus Retired teachers, don't work full time or have their own classroom, but can fill in as Mentor, Lead, or fill other roles as needed
o Creates residency year for new teachers with reduced teaching load and increased learning opportunities
o Provides incentives for teacher to teach in high-needs schools
2. Teach Iowa Initiative
o Tuition Reimbursement $4,000/year ($20K max) for top students who commit to teach in Iowa for five years
o Hard-to-Hire subjects Priority tuition reimbursement to hard-to-hire subjects, like STEM
o Student Teaching Pilot Extends student teaching during senior year from one semester to a full year
o Jobs Board Creates a state-wide education job posting system
3. Iowa Promise Diploma Seals
o Creates optional diploma seals that designate a graduate as career or college-ready
o Goal to provide automatic college entry or hiring preference at participating businesses
4. Educator Development System
o Updates teacher and administrator standards and evaluations
o Gives the Department of Education the authority to develop and implement an evaluation framework that uses three different performance levels and factors in student outcomes
5. Iowa Learning Online
o Provides funding to expand Iowa Learning Online offerings
o Iowa Learning Online provides online classes on a class-by-class basis to school districts
In addition to my Listening Posts, I have produced this newsletter called The Grassley Bulletin to keep you informed of the issues going on at the Capitol. The Bulletin is distributed to local newspapers and interested constituents. I encourage you to contact me at any time throughout the year with any issues or concerns. Whether I am down in Des Moines or on the farm in New Hartford, remember that I work for you. Without your input, I cannot properly represent your views. I look forward to hearing from you this legislative session, and I am excited to begin my work for the people of House District 50.
