---- — TRAVERSE CITY-- Area Catholic leaders and congregants expressed shock at Pope Benedict XVI's unexpected resignation, but lauded his decision as an act of humility and wisdom.
"It hasn't happened in about 600 years," said Monsignor Frank Murphy of the Diocese of Gaylord. "He kept a steady ship, but recognized that he's starting to run out of gas. I know at 72, I'm not as peppy as I was at 25."
Murphy described the pope as a "good, prayerful holy man."
That's the best compliment you can give anybody," Murphy said.
The 85-year-old pope said Monday he would resign Feb. 28 during a meeting of Vatican cardinals.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," he told the cardinals.
Monsignor Edwin Thome, 84, and soon to be 85, said he himself has been called the "forever priest." He has a long history in the Traverse City area and now serves at the St. Joseph parish on Old Mission Peninsula.
"All I have is 300 families. I feel a little lax," he joked. "In the church, we look upon ours as a way of life, and not as a job to be filled. So even after the pope retires, he's still going to remain a bishop in retirement."
Heather Maxson of Traverse City said she was "absolutely shocked" at the announcement, but recognized that serving as head shepherd of about 1.2 billion Catholics would be taxing at age 85.
"He is a very gentle, humble man, and I think his resignation speaks to that," Maxson said. "It takes courage and a lot of humility to resign as a pope."
She said the pope encouraged a stronger Catholic evangelism, even suggesting Facebook to draw others into the faith, including family members and friends who have fallen away.
"He started a twitter account a few months back," she said. "He was really trying to reach the youth."
Maxson said she'll miss the pope's clarity of writing and words of hope.
Father Don Geyman, the vocation director for the Gaylord diocese, praised the pope's decision to resign as a generous move since the church requires strong leadership.
He praised the pope's "year of faith" undertaking to encourage Catholics to hone in on their faith. The pope also revisited the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, which recognized the importance of every church member and their call to holiness and capacity to transform society, he said.
Mike Buell, superintendent of Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools, admired the pope as a "real ambassador for Catholic schools."
"He just really believed that Catholic schools were a place to encounter the living God and Jesus Christ, and that schools could reveal his transforming love," Buell said. "I just appreciated where he placed the importance of Catholic education within the church."
Bishop Bernard A. Hebda of the Gaylord Diocese is in Nicaragua this week and unavailable for comment.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism among competing papal claimants.
Benedict called his choice "a decision of great importance for the life of the church."
The move sets the stage for the Vatican to hold a conclave to elect a new pope by mid-March, since the traditional mourning time that would follow the death of a pope doesn't have to be observed.
There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner as was the case when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Multiple suspects were arrested late last week on charges of engaging in organized crime.
The five individuals were also charged with theft, after they were taken into custody Friday afternoon.
Officers with the Greenville Police Department were dispatched to 216 calls between Friday morning and Sunday night, took 21 people into custody and filed 58 reports.

All five individuals remained in custody at the Hunt County Jail as of Monday morning.
No additional details were immediately available.
Officers with the Greenville Police Department also made nine arrests on outstanding warrants. Two people each were arrested for possession of marijuana and driving while license suspended, and one person each was arrested for assault by contact, injury to a child and public intoxication.

Hermes Birkin
In the recent years, Hermes Birkin handbags are absolutely one of the most well-known and heartbeat handbags. The unique exterior texture structure, classic elegant design and astronomical high prices together make them be evergreen in the fashion stage. It seems that Hermes Birkin bags will not step down from the stage of fashion history.

Because you really need another excuse to slack off at work, The Walking Dead game has finally risen on Facebook. In the casual browser game, you are given missions - like killing walkers and finding supplies - in order to survive. Frankly, it's not that different from games like Mafia. You have energy that is spent on every move; stamina (health); and attributes like strength and improved aim that can be upgraded after each level.
I am a big fan of Facebook "slacker" games but I cannot get hooked on The Walking Dead. The biggest disappointment to me is that it is a mission-based game in a closed world. So if you accept a mission to go collect food, the game drops you in the "war zone." Blinking arrows point out the food you need to collect. You can only move so many spaces per energy point. You will face walkers, of course. To attack, click once on the walker. That will bring up a roving crosshair icon. When it turns red, click to pummel the zombie. Each click spends energy.
You also waste energy talking to you your fellow survivors in camp, which is how you get your missions. Before you can go on missions, you have to have a certain amount of... I don't know, badges? like "morale" which you can only obtain by... talking to people at camp. Interestingly, this is a social game, yet other than being able to exchange daily gifts, it doesn't seem like there is any way to play or interact with them.
As much as I wanted another Facebook game to be addicted to, this game isn't it. It is tedious and dull. Keep in mind, this is a "public beta," so things could change - and I hope they do.

Chiarelli gets four more years to build his vision
Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli has slowly molded his team into the one that he foresaw when he took the job with the Black and Gold back in the summer of 2006. Today he was granted the chance to keep on building for five more years.
Bruins Principal Charlie Jacobs officially unveiled Chiarelli's four-year contract extension today during a TD Banknorth Garden press conference. The deal will start after Chiarelli completes the upcoming season, the last on his original four-year contract.
"Personally, I felt the need to have Peter extended, in that there were a number of dominoes that need to fall in terms of our hockey operations department," Jacobs said about the timing of the deal, just a week before the draft and two weeks before free agency. "Given how proud we are of the team that Peter has assembled — on the ice, but also in the front office — and knowing what their status was contractually moving forward, we feel an impetus moving forward on getting an extension for two reasons. One, we didn't want Peter entering the final year of his contract and that sort of lame-duck status, if you will. And two, knowing that important signings from both the coaching staff and front-office personnel needed to be re-upped as they were co-terminus with Peter's contract, we wanted to send the right message as ownership to that front-office staff that we supported them and it was time."
The Bruins finished with the second-best record in the NHL and the top record in the Eastern Conference last season before they advanced a round in the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Although a team with a lot of expectations then fell in the second round, the Bruins have come a long way since they missed the playoffs in the first two seasons after the lockout. Chiarelli was eager to stay and continue the Bruins on their current path.
"Certainly, I love the city and it's a great place to bring up a family and that's important to me. And the organization is something I want to be part of. I don't want to be jumping around," said the GM, who came to Boston from Ottawa after several years as the assistant GM for the Senators. "Hockey's a tough sport. You see it among players and coaches, and now I think you'll see it probably among GMs. There's just people jumping from job to job and it's something that I don't want to do.
"And as far as Mr. Jacobs' comments about 'for the rest of my professional career,' I know he and Charlie, they expect results and that's what we're going to give them. And nothing's guaranteed in life, but I'm very happy to be here and want to be here for a long time."
Chiarelli was refering to a quote from a few weeks ago, in which owner Jeremy Jacobs said that the Bruins didn't hire Chiarelli for just four years but for the rest of his professional career. Nothing lasts forever, but Chiarelli's tenure has a better chance of challenging that length of time now that he and his staff have the comfort of a long-term deal during which they can make things happen. Chiarelli can now not only build a winner for now, but also build toward the future, knowing that he might get to reap the rewards both times.

i still can't believe that after all that's happened you remain in such denial. i am stunned that your paradigm has shifted so slightly. what alternate realities you must dwell in. or maybe you just never knew me at all.
because, how is it that after so many years you still can't read my face? how is it that you couldn't sense what was going through my mind? moreover, how could you be so uncaring in that moment – with questions of life & death weighing overhead?
it should have been a place of armistice. insult, criticism & selfishness didn't belong – not in that room.
we sat and watched the peaks & valleys blipping across the screen. i didn't want to be there. no one in their right mind would. what if he said the wrong thing?
five years is a long time for some things, but not long enough. and i can't help but feel somewhat responsible…after all, you're 50% made up of me. plus i didn't always protect you, then. now i can't protect you as much as i'd like. (but who can we really protect anyway? you're facing life like the rest of us.)
and you were so brave. laying there, barely breathing. wires & nodes taped across your chest. our eyes met & you smiled at me. it was just like when you smiled at me for the very first time and i made so many silent promises…except this time there was something else. a new understanding.
when it was over we walked slowly down the hallway. we reached the door and you stood up on your tippy-toes to give me a tight hug and tender kiss. it was more meaningful than usual.
i walked outside alone. it was still snowing. but it wasn't the snowflakes that wetted my cheeks. reality felt both cold & warm in that moment…
you have a special heart.
"it gives me the proof that i need…"

Don't Ask Me to Forgive You: A Radical Approach to Healing Interpersonal Woundswith Janis Spring
Location: Westport
Date: 1/24/2013
Time: 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Forgiveness has been held up as the gold standard of recovery from interpersonal injuries. We have been taught that forgiveness is good for us and that good people forgive. In real life, however, hurt parties often find that they can't or won't forgive, particularly when the offender is unrepentant or dead.
In this workshop, Genuine Forgiveness will be reframed as an intimate dance, a hard-won transaction, which asks as much of the offender as it does of the hurt party. You will learn to help offenders perform bold, humble, heartfelt acts of repair to earn forgiveness, such as bearing witness to the pain they caused, delivering a meaningful apology, and taking responsibility for their offense. You will also learn to help hurt parties release their obsessive preoccupation with the injury, accept a fair share of responsibility for what went wrong, and create opportunities for the offender to make good.
The presenter will propose a radical, new alternative to forgiveness – a profound, life-affirming, healing process called Acceptance. This can be accomplished by the hurt party alone, when the offender can't or won't make meaningful repairs for the damaged caused. Ten concrete steps for achieving Acceptance will be described.
Everyone is struggling to forgive someone. This workshop invites you to participate – personally, or vicariously for your patients – in an experience designed to help you rise above a violation, repair the rupture within yourself, and consider forgiving the partner, parent, in-law, sibling, child, friend, or significant other who has hurt you. For those of you who have wronged someone else, it will offer you concrete steps for earning that person's forgiveness – and your own.
Participants will learn:
* to debunk popular assumptions about what it means to forgive;
* to provide hurt parties with a radical, new alternative which allows them to become physically and spiritually healthy – without forgiving an unapologetic offender;
* to compare four different approaches to forgiveness and to identify what makes two of them dysfunctional and two of them healthy;
* to follow specific, concrete guidelines for helping offenders earn forgiveness and for helping hurt parties foster forgiveness.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
In Ian Rutledge, Charles Todd has created a classic literary figure. A survivor of World War I, Rutledge is a man walking on the edge of insanity, finding both relief and more madness in his work as a Scotland Yard investigator. Now this series, praised by The New York Times Book Review for "challenging plot, complex characters, and subtle psychological insights [wrapped] in thick layers of atmosphere," takes Rutledge to the one place that most threatens the balance of his mind: his past.
Legacy Of The Dead
Rutledge's superior dispatches him to Durham to question the mother of a missing young woman. The weathered remains found on a windswept Scottish mountainside may be those of Eleanor Gray, but the imperious Lady Maude Gray will have to be handled delicately. This is not the only ground that Rutledge must tread carefully. The case will more than likely lead him on to Scotland, where many of Rutledge's ghosts rest uneasily. Scotland was the homeland of many of the young soldiers Rutledge led into battle--and, for far too many of them, to their deaths. And of Corporal Hamish MacLeod, the Highlander he shot for breaking on the battlefield. It is Hamish's voice, caustic and accusing, that haunts his waking moments and assesses his every action. Rutledge knows that in the Scottish countryside he will hear echoes of that condemning voice everywhere he turns. But he cannot know what else he will encounter as he follows the trail of Eleanor Gray's last movements. In the village of Duncarrick he will find a young mother who has been destroyed by a malicious campaign of gossip carried by anonymous letters. Now Fiona MacDonald stands accused of murdering the woman on that rugged mountain--and of taking the child of her victim to raise as her own. Rutledge owes this woman a terrible debt, driving him on a harrowing journey to find the truth--leading him back through the fires of his past, and into secrets that still have the power to kill. Legacy of the Dead is a breathtaking, riveting mystery set in a fascinating landscape at the wary dawn of a new age. In Scotland, Charles Todd captures a land where war and bloodshed are part of the earth, the walls, and living memory. And where a man like Ian Rutledge is all too much at home.
The two women sat huddled together in the small carriage, looking around them in dismay, staring at the filthy, closed-in street, the drunken old man sprawled in one of the doorways, the tall tenements ugly and bleak and perilously ill-kept. There was no grace here, only an air of despondency and gloom and poverty.
"It's a horrible place!" one said at last. She was the elder, but not by much. They were both young and very frightened.
"Are you quite sure this is the street we want? I can't believe--" Her companion, the reins lying in her lap, let the words die.
In answer, the passenger dug in her purse for the tattered piece of paper, pulled it out, and read it again. Her lips were trembling, and she felt cold, sick. "Look for yourself. Oh--" The paper slipped from her fingers, and she caught it just before it tumbled into the fetid running gutter beneath the wheel.
It was the street and the house they had searched over an hour to find.

Published on: January 28, 2013Lone Star College-Montgomery proudly announces Brandy Harvey, Erik Oslund, Matthew Samford, and Rachel Trackey as Faculty Excellence Award recipients for the 2012-2013 academic year.
These faculty members are significant leaders in excellence, a key component of the LSC-Montgomery Maverick way, said Dr. Austin A. Lane, president of LSC-Montgomery. Were proud of our first-class professors who work creatively and diligently to support the aspirations of our students.
Lone Star College-Montgomery faculty members Matthew Samford, Brandy Harvey, Rachel Trackey, and Erik Oslund have been named as 2012-13 Faculty Excellence Award recipients.
The League for Innovation formally recognizes the best in higher education with Faculty Excellence Awards chosen from nominations received from member schools.
Dr. Brandy Harvey, a professor of English at LSC-Montgomery since 2009, teaches a wide range of courses from developmental English to advanced literature.
My experiences teaching developmental English have been an enriching challenge, said Harvey. I often learn much from my students determination and find great satisfaction in facilitating their growth.
Harvey is highly involved with both campus and Lone Star College System committees and organizations, with emphasis on degree plan development and curriculum innovations.
There is value in observing and discussing the ways in which we teach, assess, and achieve core course objectives, said Harvey. I love the opportunity to exchange ideas with my colleagues, and thanks to their innovative approaches, Ive grown as an instructor and as a professional.
Another Faculty Excellence Award winner is Erik Oslund, professor of mathematics. Oslund has been teaching at LSC-Montgomery for eight years.
It is a great honor to be chosen by colleagues to win this award, said Oslund, who taught Trigonometry and College Algebra last fall. Im very interested in making sure that students understand that math is a language. It has its own structure and rules. If you learn those rules, it becomes much more manageable.
Oslund incorporates both individual and group work into his classroom, as well as provide students with notes to guide them during lectures.
It is very rewarding to watch someone who has struggled with math finally understand it, said Oslund. I enjoy helping students achieve their goals.
Matthew Samford teaches psychology and serves as a faculty counselor, a position he considers very rewarding.
My approach to students is very simple, said Samford, who holds a masters degree in psychology and is a licensed professional counselor. I use humor to create a safe environment for students in both the office and classroom setting.
Samford has been at LSC-Montgomery for 12 years. He is a faculty sponsor for the colleges newly formed Transfer Student Organization, a group for any student who plans to transfer to the university level at some point in the future.
Finally, the fourth recipient is Rachel Trackey, a faculty counselor who teaches various workshops and special presentations for students.
The workshops provide me with the opportunity to teach multiple topics that range from study strategies to personality to relationships, said Trackey. In many cases, the topics have been selected by the students based on their own interests, which makes each one a new experience.
Trackey, who has been full-time at LSC-Montgomery since 2008, is grateful for being nominated and selected for this award.
The college has exceptional faculty, so its an honor to have been selected for this award from such a deserving group of colleagues, said Trackey. I enjoy my work, building on each students current strengths and helping them develop a strategy to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
LSC-Montgomery is located at 3200 College Park Drive, one-half mile west of Interstate 45, between Conroe and The Woodlands. For more information about the college, call 936.273.7000, or visit www.LoneStar.edu/montgomery.With 78,000 students in credit classes, and a total enrollment of more than 90,000, Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area and the fastest-growing community college system in the nation. Dr. Richard Carpenter is the chancellor of LSCS, which consists of six colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Tomball and LSC-University Park, five centers, LSC-University Center at Montgomery, LSC-University Center at University Park, Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online.

Welcome to the Pathways to Education community page for Kingston!
About the Kingston Community
The city of Kingston is located half way between Montreal and Toronto, Canada's two largest cities. The city's north end includes the Inner North End and Rideau Heights communities, both of which struggle with high dropout rates and poverty. While residents in these communities make up less than 10 per cent of Kingston's population, they account for 24 per cent of low incomes households, 23 per cent of residents who have not completed high school, 20 per cent of single parent families and 17 per cent of renters in the city. North Kingston today remains the crucible of socio-economic disadvantage, saddled by the traditional model of centralized public housing in Rideau Heights and the consequent problems that a concentration of multi-generational poverty breeds. Yet there is an emergent North Kingston, a community of distinct neighbourhoods with a clear sense of identity, seasoned community leaders, active citizen engagement and a string of recent community development successes.
In 2010, Pathways Kingston was launched – the 10th Pathways to Education program in Canada – in partnership with Kingston Community Health Centres.
Catchment Area
The catchment area of the Kingston Pathways to Education program is within the north section of the city, including the communities of the Inner North End and Rideau Heights: Raglan Road to Conacher St. between Division Street and the Cataraquai River.
The Kingston Pathways to Education Program is located at:
Kingston Community Health Centres
6-263 Weller Avenue
Kingston, Ontario K7K 2V4
Tel: 613-507-7107
How to Join
All students in the geographic catchment area are eligible to enrol in the Pathways program, regardless of their academic performance or economic circumstance. Initial enrolment begins in Grade 9 and students remain in the program until the end of Grade 12, however students may join the program in any high school grade, where applicable. The Pathways program is at no cost to the participants. If you would like to join the Pathways program and are currently enrolled in Grades 9 – 10, you or your parent/guardian can contact Petra Hanson (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Roger Romero (email@example.com).
How to Volunteer
The Pathways to Education Program requires skilled and committed volunteers to serve as tutors and mentors. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative program, which can make a positive difference in the lives of youth and their families. Both one-on-one and group tutoring positions are available and training is provided. Recruitment is ongoing. Join the dedicated team of Pathways volunteers and you will see how your time contribution will make a difference in the lives of Kingston's youth.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer tutor or group mentor in the Pathways Kingston program, please call Lisa Lund at 613-507-7107 ext. 2109 or email her at email@example.com, indicating your area of interest and expertise.

Why wouldn't they?Both are the same age but DJ has more experience,strength,and athletic ability.Also Plumlee is not the defender,rebounder,or shot blocker that DJ is.He isn't bad at those things but he isn't as good as DJ is.Both are offensively challenged and poor free throw shooters.I like Plumlee a lot because he is a hard worker but I think you are really under estimating how good DJ was defensively this year.
That is pretty despicable to pull that -
I though gentry was better than that. Now they will copy our offense. Like it or not they look to take a major step forward while we are not. This is so depressing
Dick move by Gentry for sure, but his "great" offense sure did look like **** most games against that "horrible coach" Mark Jackass' defense in the playoffs.
We just need another assistant with experience running the motion offense... maybe someone from the Spurs? And Lawrence Frank is coming to shore up the defense.
Wow. What a bitch
I have no respect for him anymore. Salt in the wound that he goes there of all places too.
Get Ettore Messina NOW!
I'm hearing Ettore and Lawrence as assistants right now. Good O and D.
Gentry was probably just salty because Ty Lue whooped his ass for the Cleveland job. He probably was like I do not want to be on the same bench as that guy. Well it hasn't even been confirmed so it all could be wack.
I really hope Denver pulls this off and fvcks Golden States plans.
It's also just a much better trade for the TWolves anyways.
McRob opted out! I know we have had our greatest time with Bobcats big men , but he is a different player.
We may have spoken too soon. And isn't Gentry already getting paid elite AC $?
It's also just a much better trade for the TWolves anyways.
It would also be hilarious if Gentry spurns the Warrios and returns to us
Completely fvcks all their plans
We may have spoken too soon. And isn't Gentry already getting paid elite AC $?
In that case, Parsons should pony up the cash to keep him here.
Anyone see Collison changed his mind and will opt in? I think we convinced him so we can trade him to the Knicks or somewhere. Maybe actually pull off the Collison-Shumpert deal
Messina to spurs. I'm so bummed
Don't get bummed. I bet we pull off some crazy **** and get Melo and Shumpert and fill out our bench was our draft pick in Glen Rob III and sign Birdman and Josh McRob for the minimum
Shumpert. awesome defensive bench backcourt
Glen Rob III
I think we need Collison more than we need Shumpert. Iman really is only beneficial to us in a small ball lineup.
He's not a good enough scorer to take either of our SG's minutes away and he's too small to guard SF's.
If we trade Jamal I'd consider this, but DC and Patty Mills are fighting for best backup PG's right now. Patty struck first, now it's DC's turn.
Ahhh Collison was a great regular season backup PG. In the postseason he had one good game. He scored 1 point in Game 5 against OKC which were 1/2 from the FT line. We lost that game by 1! We were leading by 7. I think there are better options , but who knows. Maybe he comes back better or something. I think Patty Mills may be the best. I'd honestly try to go for him. Collison was great though
Yeah, DC wasn't great in the playoffs, but he also was playing a lot of SG because of Redick's limited minutes.
Most backup PG's don't usually even have one good game. DC is also a good two way player and that's rare for a backup.
I'd also rather not have to waste our draft pick on Shabazz. We need to draft a SF or a big man.
We want to be able to throw him on Curry or Westbrook instead of CP having to guard all those guys. That way Chris can have energy O. Would you really want to put JJ or Jamal or Curry, Westbrooks, Lillard, etc? No. I'd put Shumpert on them in a heartbeat.
Chris is the best defensive PG in the NBA, it would be blasphemy to hide him on defense.
And putting Chris on SG's like Klay isn't going to make his life easier on defense. We need a defender that can guard Kawhi, Durant, Parson, James, George, Batum...etc those are the players that we really have no answer for ATM.
I don't see it as hiding him, but resting him. I am nit saying have Chris competely stop guarding those guys , but he doesn't need to go his entire 35+ minutes of playing time guarding those guys and be too tired to give us anything on offense. Imagine guarding Westbrook for 37 minutes then in closing seconds of winning a game you feel you can rest and you try to make a smart play that would give you more time to rest for 3 FTs instead of 2 yet they don't call a foul , you made a turnover and you lose the game. I believe fatigue was a huge reason for Chris's mental collapse in Game 5 , but hopefully it leaves a salty taste in this teams mouth. That Is All i am saying. Do you understand Caps?
Now that Collison has opted in, does that mean we can sign someone like Pau for the MLE?
Music to JQuicks Ears
We might have a chance at Bron Bron
This is huge if its true! Now I say use Full MLE on a very solid defensive SF, and the BAE on a backup big... hopefully move Duds for another backup big, and let's go!
So I guess so Jquick. I do not know how the Opting in and out and how contract situations work
Totally understand, but I still think Collison is more important to us.
Let's just agree to disagree.
We might have a chance at Bron Bron
That press conference was a debacle.... way out of character for Riley. He even took a shot at LeBron by insinuating that he "doesn't have guts."
I think he's found out the bad news that LeBron's leaving AND he's on the hook for $40 mil for a decrepit Wade over the next two years. That's the only good explanation for his meltdown.
Who are these dumb NBA teams who weren't planning on making a pitch for LeBron before this?
I don't care if you're the Milwuakee Bucks, you need to still make a pitch for LeBron no matter how minuscule your chances are.
Hell, even OKC needs to make a pitch.
This is definitely a great first step to a long offseason!
Maybe it was us, LOL.
He was really acting crazy. Maybe LeBron won't come back , but dang. After what he said about Me. I wouldn't want to come back if I were LeBron. Questioning my guts
Why are teams flocking so much to Love. He is not a winner in my opinion. If he is the best PF as people call him. His team should win or atleast be over .500! Why are teams trying to give up players like Faried or Thompson? They Win. They Are Winners. They have Won in the playoffs. Love isn't worth all this hype. I mean the dude is walking around acting like a free agent when he is still on that team and has a contract for this season. That is Low Down. He always points the finger in the locker room , but never pointed to himself. Blake atleast says "you know 'I' have to do a better job" and takes accountability. Kevin love to the Warriors can only help us , because he will constantly be blaming Bogut and Curry and cause a lot of locker room dysfunction and with Kerr being a first year head coach , he wouldn't know how to deal with that , but Jordan did punch him in his face one season so who knows
So Hedo,Hollins,Collison,Granger, and Big Baby's contracts all come off the books
Is this good or bad for our chances with Melo or how does this impact us
We would definitely have to shed some salary. Carmelo sign and trade. Jamal,Dudley,Bullock and just shed some salary man. I mean we really have no where to turn. Anyone care to explain what we can do
Is this good or bad for our chances with Melo or how does this impact us
More flexibility, less security... Our GM/FO has to figure out a clever way to get us over the cap.
By my calculation that brings our salary to $70,230,844, ($65,980,844 if we can dump Dudley) and next seasons cap will be about $63.2 million and the tax level is projected to be $77.0 million.
I like Blatche. Maybe we should give him a look
Plumlee makes $1.2M in 14-15 and then $2.1M in 15-16 before he's a FA. Plumlee is at 11.8 / 11.5 / 1.6 per 36 but not he high percentage finisher DJ is.
The question becomes how much you think the difference between Plumlee and DJ is worth and if it is worth paying $10M extra for another 2 seasons. For us since it can mean a more significant improvement at SF, it is certainly worth it to make the trade. For them, since they have young players looking to be re-signed and are trying to be players in getting a big free agent, playing $10M extra at C when they don't just have Plumlee but also Alex Len seems like a very bad decision.
Chris Paul like Kobe without a ring really didn't care about the team's financial situation if he really wanted to win, he should have signed for less. It's not like he just came from his rookie contract. That's why. Tim Duncan is one of a kind and truly the most unselfish player out there. He does it with his action not with his mouth. CP is all about saying the right thing but not walk to walk.
Oh please, stop, just stop, not a winner is one of the worst criticisms ever. So he not a winner because his teams haven't won or because of something more concrete? Is David Lee a "winner" because he plays for the Warriors. Boozer because he plays for the Bulls, like what do you mean "he's not a winner". Does that have any effect on how he can improve an actual well built team?
Guess what? Blake wouldn't have made the playoffs on Minesptta either. They suffer from the same issue, Pekovic is not a shot blocker or rim protector and neither are either of them, it hurts your defense, especially down the stretch. They have no perimeter player who is a high level creator, Rubio is not good at isolation or pick and roll scoring, Martin is not a shot creator. Bares is their best perimeter shot creator and he shot like 38/31 on the season. So now in crunch time you're also disadvantages and your PF gets the primary role of being shot creator.
Now, it's nice for your PF to be able to creat a little down the stretch, but teams generally need a perimeter player that can do so, at least one whether it be a starter or off the bench. This is why Minnesota was terrible in close games. Not because Love "isn't a winner" but because the person building the team forgot that ideally you want high level defense down the stretch or high level shot creator(s), they had neither.
The Clippers actually had the issue last season (12-13) in that they were actually very efficient on offense down the stretch despite all the iso, etc, but it didn't look that good because the defense down at the end of games was too many times very poor and good opponents would frequently just score right back. Of course like always people's first assumption is that "well the offense just isn't good enough", but the bad defense was making the production requirement too high for the offense to consistently maintain pace with.
I already spoke on this, but it is a false criticism. The reason is that we signed Paul when we were above the cap. Paul's contract is only relevant to how close one is to the luxury, but it has no limitation on us signing higher caliber free agents because unless he made $1M we wouldn't get below the cap enough to do anything.
There's a $2M difference between Paul and Blake's contracts and Blake is only making less because he's been in he league a shorter time. If his max could be as high as Paul's then he would take it too. There was no set up incentive for him to take less as it did nothing for the team financially that could be forseen.
If Paul makes $1M our team salary is what? $52.4M? The salary cap for next season is assumed to be about $63.2M. So if Paul made $1M we'd have $10.8M under the cap. After we use that on our Andre Iguodala, then our ability to sign FA's is still limited to the exceptions (MLE, BAE and a minimum. Of course Paul can't even make only $1M as the veteran minimum is higher than that and it would just be foolish to ask him to take that. Let's say Paul is signed for $13M, then we are over the cap by $2.2M already and just like where we are now, all we can spend to get free agents is the exceptions and the minimums, and we can do sign and trades. So if you think he should have taken $14-15M, the only difference that makes is that we are $3-4M further away from luxury tax.
Due to a lack of understanding of the cap, fans seem to think you subtract $10M from a guys contract and the team now has $10M more to spend. No, every year all we'd be guaranteed are the exceptions and minimum contracts, so we'd still have the same pace in terms of building a roster.
Also comparing Paul to Duncan and Kobe makes no sense, if he gets this salary in his next contract, sure, but Duncan from 06-07 (30 years old) to 11-12 (35 years) made between $17M and $22M. Now this isn't an argument about who is worth this or that because the red herring is probably going to be "well Duncan is worth that and look at his championships".
Duncan took a pay-cut at 36 years old on his way out of the league. Unless you're arguing that Paul in the same situation wouldn't take a pay cut. it's just not a relevant criticism or comparable at all.
So sure you can say well if he took $3-4M less, and not just him, Blake may need to take a little less too, then hypothetically it would give us a little more money to be able to offer a possible future free agent who wanted to come here and whose team agreed to sign and trade him here (because I think the new CBA limits your sign and trade when you are over tax). I mean that's really what we'd be criticizing them for, though I believe we're even good in that area right now.
Do not know the validity of this tweet , but why would we sign pierce if we have 3 players already at SF position. Atleast two of those guys must go
Would be strange for Pierce to go from being LeBron's rival to LeBron's backup.
Do not know the validity of this tweet , but why would we sign pierce if we have 3 players already at SF position. Atleast two of those guys must go
Who is the third player? Granger opted out. Either way, I'll take that with a grain of salt like you said.
The 3 SF we had was....Dudley, Barnes and Granger. But with Granger opting out looking for a payday, he is likely not to return if someone is willing to pay him. That leaves Dudley and Barnes. I'd prefer barnes coming off the bench with Pierce starting. Then dump Dudley's salary in a trade, waive or release, then your talking about a good SF rotation. Add a decent backup vetern big like Gasol using the MLE. Hopefully Collison returns, if not then go get Patty Mills or someone equivalent. Then lastly, if big baby leaves then, use the BAE on a decent backup PF, make Lionell Hollins or Lawrence Frank our associated head coach and assistant. And that everyone is a championship caliber team to win it all.
This is what the squad would look like. Let me know if you agree.
CP3/ Collison
JJ Reddick/ Jamal Crawford
Paul Pierce/ Matt Barnes
Blake Griffin/ Big Baby
Deandre Jordan/Pau Gasol
Doc Rivers
Lionell Hollins
Lawrence Frank
Tyron Lue
Gasol for the MLE is going to be quite hard to pull off, especially asking him to come off the bench.
Also I believe Baby also opted out
I think $5.2 mil is enough to snag him, but forcing him to come of the bench is a whole other story.
It shouldn't be a problem though when we trade DJ for Jabari.
Not to hung on Jabari Parker just yet. The NBA is totally different from the collegiate level. I'm not just yet ready to crown him as a star. His shooting is alittle suspect and once scouted, like all NBA players do then they will shut him down. He is in my opinion not a game changer as a rookie like Blake Griffin and Lebron was and is. But back to the point. With Gasol being a seasoned vet, i believe if he wants to win and stay in LA, his best option is the Clippers. Humble yourself, come off the bench for Blake, and be successful. Doc will give him plenty of PT. Like he did Crawford and Collison. Plus with and if Deandre is still struggling from the free throw line, Gasol easily slides into that 5 spot.
Woj says that may determine whether or not they are in the run for Carmelo. So what are Melo's other options: Clippers, and Rockets? Maybe a few other teams with only a few having the chance to win
Danny Granger, Glen Davis, and Darren Collison are all opting out of their contract. Danny Granger expressed interest in coming back to the Clippers, Collison and Davis did not express such interest. I think we should resign Granger. He played great and I think our system both defensively and offensively fits him perfectly. Just want to have money to get other significant players to help out the team. My hopeful lineup for the 2014-15 season.
PG: Chris Paul, Shaun Livingston/Mo Williams/Kirk Hinrich, (Shabazz Napier)
SG: JJ Redick, Jamal Crawford, Reggie Bullock
SF: Danny Granger, Paul Pierce, Matt Barnes
PF: Blake Griffin, Jordan Hill, (Clint Capela/Jarnell Stokes)/Carlos Boozer
C: DeAndre Jordan, Chris Anderson, Greg Oden/Chris Kaman/Andrew Bynum
I think that this line up is a possibility but will take some sacrifices. Sorry everyone no BronBron or Melo.
With this lineup I really see us going to the Finals. Our SF rotation is a bit prehistoric but I don't see any health issues arising if we manage their time properly and with the type of skill level those three have you can basically play them an even amount of minutes every game.

Why She's No.53?
Paz Vega closed out 2008 as Plaster of Paris in Frank Miller's The Spirit, giving us just a taste of what this gorgeous actress is all about. Fortunately, her profile should skyrocket in 2009 thanks to a number of upcoming releases, including Christopher B. Landon's Burning Palms, Triage with Colin Farrell and the thriller Not Forgotten. It shouldn't be too long before Paz Vega's name is spoken with the same reverential awe as another Spanish-born beauty and international star -- Penelope Cruz. Read more about Paz Vega
Short Bio
If you don't routinely watch TV shows made in Spain, you may not think you know who Paz Vega is, but if you don't know her by name, you likely know her heartbreakingly beautiful Andalucían face from films like Hable con ella or Spanglish. Meanwhile, Spanish viewers know her best as Laurita Arteagabeitia from the most popular sitcom in Spanish history, 7 Vidas. Read more about Paz Vega

Trustee seeks to sell Evergreen assets
May 8, 2014
By Nicole Montesano
Of the News-Register
Trustee Alfred Giuliano is seeking court approval to sell off nearly all the remaining assets of Evergreen International Airlines and its spinoff, Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics, for $5 million, to Jet Midwest Group LLC, based in Kansas City.
A hearing has been scheduled for May 15.
However, the United States Trustee, which oversees bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware, is objecting to several provisions in the proposed sale order.
It argues that the provisions "include findings that the record does not support, provide the buyer with protections beyond that provided by section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, in some instances, may also implicate jurisdictional issues."
Marana Aerospace in Arizona, has filed objections to the proposed sale on several grounds, arguing that the trustee is trying to sell off property that does not belong to Evergreen, but to Marana, and that, furthermore, Evergreen still owes Marana Aerospace $2 million for services and parking, that remains unpaid.
The first lienholder and Giuliano will take the entire $5 million of the proposed sale, it argues, leaving nothing for any other lienholders, including Marana.
Multnomah County has filed a document with the court saying that Evergreen still owes $4.6 million in back property taxes, and demanding payment out of the sale proceeds.

The full text of his 43-minute speech, which many interpreted as the precursor to the first-term Democrat announcing his re-election campaign, is embedded with this article.
The Republican Response: "Repackaged Broken Promises"
Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola Jr. was quick to respond to Malloy's speech. In a press release issued that same day, he said:
"What we heard today was a speech rich in rhetoric to launch a campaign to save a governorship short on results.
"Instead of proposing any substantive changes to the job-destroying legislation that has been a hallmark of his tenure, Governor Malloy repackaged the same broken promises that filled his 2010 campaign and proposed an election year budget filled with gimmicks and even more spending increases.
"In an insult to the thousands of Connecticut residents who are still unable to find jobs, Dan Malloy continues to claim his policies have been a success. But the numbers don't lie, while the rest of the nation has seen real economic recovery, Connecticut continues to lag far behind under Dan Malloy's failed leadership. For 22 months straight, our unemployment rate has far exceeded the national average – 27,000 fewer Connecticut residents are working today than when Dan Malloy took office."
For more reactions, from both Republicans and Democrats, check out this article on CT Mirror.
Your Take?
Are you, and Connecticut, better off today than before Governor Malloy took office?

While thousands of federal employees continue to wait to learn the status of their next paycheck, Firstar Bank launched a financial assistance program to help furloughed workers, a media release states.
Firstar's Federal Employee Emergency Assistance Program is available to those who have been affected by the government shutdown and work in the bank's market area which includes Muskogee, Sequoyah, and Tulsa counties in Oklahoma and Sebastian County in Arkansas.
"It is tough to go without your paycheck, wondering how you're going to pay your bills," said Chris Condley, chief executive officer of Firstar Bank. "Stepping up to help our friends and neighbors, those who serve our country, is simply the right thing to do."
Benefits of the program include:
• Loan Payment Deferral — Furloughed customers can delay one of their installment loan payments and the bank will waive associated fees and interest.
• Emergency Loans — Furloughed workers can apply for a no-fee, unsecured, low-interest loan to replace their take-home pay.
Applicants for the emergency loans do not have to be customers of the bank, but some restrictions do apply to the program. Full details on loan terms and eligibility may be found on the bank's website, www.firstar-bank.com.
"We're not doing this to make money. We just want to help and give peace of mind to workers who may be affected by the shutdown," Condley said.

The owner of Elmwood Avenue's Acropolis is seeking a live music license, and is also scouting locations for a second restaurant in the Southtowns.
Paul Tsouflidis will go to the city Zoning Board of Appeals this month and seek a license that will allow him to host karaoke and DJ's that can use microphones.
"Everybody has a music license so I should have one too," Tsouflidis said today.
Restrictions placed on Tsouflidis's business, in the 700-block of Elmwood, near Cecelia's, Elmwood Pet Supplies and the Blue Monk, were thrown out in court.
The city has filed a notice that it would appeal, but has not yet filed the actual appeal, Tsouflidis said.
On the restaurant's second floor, a bar was built but is not in use.(UPDATE: Tsouflidis said he ripped it out and put in booths.) Tsouflidis said he would like to use it as have a service bar, to make drinks for people dining on the second floor. He said servers have a hard time bringing martinis up 22 steps from the ground floor. He had sought permission for a second-floor bar from the city, and was denied. That denial was "annulled, vacated and set aside," in court.
The restaurant is too small for live bands, he said, though opened the possibility of small ensembles to play during brunch.
Tsouflidis is also planning to open another location in Orchard Park or Hamburg, he said. He is deciding on a location and plans to be open in six to 15 months, depending on whether he uses an existing building or builds a new one.
Also on the ZBA agenda for Feb. 20 is a height variance for a new medical office building on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and a plan to convert an old K-Mart near the Broadway Market into a factory producing algae bi-products.

After studying with János Starker at Indiana University, in 1981 Maria Kliegel won the Grand Prix of the Paris Concours Rostropovich. Mstislav Rostropovich subsequently became one of her most important mentors. She started a successful recording career on the Naxos label in 1991, and her recording of the Dvořák and Elgar Cello Concertos (8.550503) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London has been a bestseller for many years. The composer Alfred Schnittke described her recording of his First Cello Concerto (8.554465) as the definitive performance. She has received frequent honours including two GRAMMY® nominations. For her multimedia book and DVD project, Schott Cello Master Class: Mit Technik und Fantasie zum künstlerischen Ausdruck, published in 2006, she has received two prestigious awards, the special Digita Award and the European Media Award Comenius EduMedia-Siegel. This was the starting-point for the English version Cello-Master: Class Using Technique and Imagination to achieve Artistic Expression (2.110280–81), released on the Naxos label in 2010. Since 1986 she has been professor at the Cologne Musikhochschule and in 2001 established, with Ida Bieler (violin) and Nina Tichman (piano), the Xyrion Trio, which undertook the artistic supervision of the Andernach Music Festival at Namedy Castle in 2007. Maria Kliegel plays a cello made by Carlo Tononi, Venice, in c. 1730.

First off I must say that I am a Craftsman diehard. I have a Craftsman welder that belonged to my great grandfather that I am the fourth generation to weld with and it still performs perfectly. (Just a little bigger than the modern ones). I recently purchase this set and was overall happy with it. I think it is a great value, however I think the quality of the tools has dropped a notch in the last few years, but they still have the lifetime warranty so I guess your covered. All parts were I my set however one socket wasn't labeled- I called and they shipped me out a new one immediately. Only complaint I would have is that the 8,10,11mm wrenches are extreme my small as well as th 7/16 and 3/8. They were what I call the baby wrenches or the short thin ones. I just bought replacements for those. Otherwise very happy.

I bought this set a while ago thinking it would be a good starter set for working on cars, but now that i have been doing more work i realize that most of the tools aren't necessary for a starter set. The set has a lot more standard sockets than metric sockets. Which unless if your working on older domestic cars you probably want more metric. And more than half of the sockets are 12 point and most bolts on cars are 6 point. However all of the tools in here are ok quality. Just make sure that the tools apply to what you are going to use them for.

I paid more money for the tool box and was told by the sales man it was one of there good boxes-- The box is a cheap and poorly build the draws jam constantly and need two hands to open. What a rip now I need to buy another box-- I should take the tools back and buy another set???

This is a well priced set that includes a steel box and organizational trays. It includes all of the needed basics in a mechanics tool set. Problems/complaints/suggestions: 1. The drawer slides are a little rough and don't compare to ball bearing glides 2. The trays are extremely cheap plastic. It would have been nice if they had been made from standard cut foam. 3. There is no organization tray for the wrenches, the screwdrivers, or the hex wrenches. I guess they just expect you to dump them in the top. 4. Be sure to do a thorough inventory. My set was missing the 1/4" drive ratchet and a 15mm deep socket. I've been trying for hours to get somebody on the phone to fix the problem, but to no avail. The sears/craftsman telephone service and parts ordering is awful. Also, when I call the local store, there's no way to get a live person.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — All the gun law stuff is being voted on in Albany and it looks like assault weapons may be on their way out. I do understand people's insistence that weapons have to go, but I also think that the effort is misdirected.
Every tragedy must have its boogeyman for us to point our fingers at. Not only does the boogeyman need to exist, it must also be something we can get our hands on. Most people do not want to try and understand the underlying issues of mental illness, so they point at gun control as the boogeyman in this instance. Unlike cigarette smoking, which can kill you, owning a gun is not an inherently dangerous act.
Before I dive any deeper into this argument, let me preface it by saying that I do not have a dog in this fight. I can actually see both sides in this gun control discussion, but I feel like there is more to it than what is being dealt with. I think people are ignoring doing the hard work just to find an easy way to pin these tragedies on something. That is like putting the proverbial Band-Aid on a broken arm, in my opinion.
In both the Sandy Hook and Webster cases, the guns were legally procured. That means that the people who originally bought the guns, did so legally. In the case of Sandy Hook, the guns were stolen by the assailant from their lawful owner. In the case of Webster, the guns were purchased under false pretenses by a very sick young lady. While I do agree that no weapon owned by a private individual needs to be semi-automatic and shoot a clip of 10 or more rounds, laws would not have stopped these tragedies from happening.
The honesty of good people would have stopped these tragedies. The mother in the Sandy Hook case knew she had a son with special needs living in the house, and she also knew he was dangerous. The young lady in Webster was apparently smitten with the sick individual who wanted the weapons and she supplied what he needed, even though she knew he could not legally buy the weapons himself.
Guns, on their own, did not kill those innocent people any more than the car that the murderer drove to Sandy Hook killed those children, or the building that was set on fire in Webster killed those brave heroes. The problem with our society is that we are ruled by things. We look at bad situations and blame the things involved instead of the people.
Today's music is not responsible. The music I used to listen to when I was a kid was just as violent as today's music and I have not killed anyone. Don't blame movies or television. I grew up watching Daffy Duck get his head shot off on a regular basis and I can still tell right from wrong. Video games are not the culprit either. I used to love playing Doom when I was a kid and I never once raised a shotgun to kill someone.
Why do we refuse to look at each other and find the answers we need when things go wrong? Developing more comprehensive ways of assisting people with certain mental conditions should not have a stigma to it, but it does. The problem with treating the real source of these problems is that you cannot point blame at a mental illness and you cannot point blame at bad parenting. Since we cannot legislate those things, we feel powerless against them. Instead, we try to legislate everything around them.
When I was a kid, my teachers could whack us on the behind if we got out of line. Do you know what the result of that was? We learned to never get out of line again. When our parents wanted to let us know that we really screwed up, they smacked us as a way of making a point. That point was well taken and the screwing up never happened again.
If you want to stop all of this gun violence, then invest the money you are wasting on legislative sessions into a time machine. Let's go back to the 1970's and watch how things are supposed to be done. When criminals killed someone, they were put to death. When a kid broke into the neighbor's house, the authorities and the parents didn't blame the neighbor. They blamed the kid, and he got what was coming to him.
The tools of our society are not the problems. The problems are caused by the people that use those tools. Stop blaming inanimate objects for the evils that people do. Focus on the real causes of the decline of our society and maybe, just maybe, we will act in time to save ourselves and create a better world for people like my grandson.George N Root III is a Lockport resident and someone who pines for simpler times when logic prevailed.

Studio City-based "celebrity psychic" Belinda Bentley says she sees many things in the future, but the End of the World is not one of them.
Bentley joins a chorus of NASA scientists, Mayan experts, and other Doomsday pundits who believe the world will still be intact past Dec. 21, 2012—a day thought by some to be the last on the 5,125 year long Mayan calendar.
"When I look into the future I still see 2013. I still see the way things are now, apart from the things that are naturally getting worse," said Bentley, who regularly appears on Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers rock musician Dave Navarro's talk show Spread TV as "in-house psychic."
In other words, bills and homework are still due, and most of us will still be going about our last-minute Christmas shopping and ringing in the New Year.
Many of those who feel an anxiety about doomsday predictions often consult psychics like Bentley, who says it is a natural impulse to believe in an apocalyptic scenario.
"It's in our culture... it's pretty natural with the state the world is in, the wars, crime rates... we sometimes feel helpless and we think the only thing to do is hope for something better to come along and wipe the slate clean," says Bentley.
In recent weeks, reports in the news proliferated of people not only in the United States but in other countries like China and Russia preparing supplies for the possibility of an Armageddon. The belief that a Doomsday set to occur has manifested in a strong enough fashion that the federal government issued official statements from rocket scientists at NASA who debunk the end of the world prediction. Bentley who describes her psychic work as a form of science says she sides with the NASA scientists.
While a literal Doomsday is not expected, fears of some type of catastrophe hangs in the air, including projections of a "fiscal cliff" budget deficit in the U.S. government that could lead to another recession and the occurrence of recent natural disasters like Super Storm Sandy which wiped out significant portions of northeast United States.
Given the signs, Bentley does foresee a difficult few years for people, with Doomsday being the least of most people's worries. When clients come to her with their anxieties about Dec. 21, "I tell them they have a reason to be concerned as far as the state of the world goes... things are not going to get any better," she said.
Still a fixation on the end of days can be indirectly helpful. It is a good idea anyway to "take precautions, have my food and water, things you would have have in an earthquake," says Bentley.
No stranger to making predictions herself, having foreseen such details as the results of the Phil Spector murder trials, Bentley says she senses the Mayans may have overlooked signs that their own civilization was heading for a demise that was much closer at hand than the Dec. 21, 2012 date.
Bentley adds there were more benign and positive uses for the Mayan calendar than to predict the apocalypse, including determining agricultural harvesting periods. "The Mayans were really, really amazing people," she said. "It is not for us to know how to really interpret their calendar."
