Editors Note: With the 2012-13 school year behind us, UNC Asheville's student-athletes will be providing us write-ups to allow everyone to get to know them a little better during the summer. Today we meet track and field standout Kassandra Pierre.
Kassandra Pierre is a rising sophomore. She loves math and is majoring in statistics and is aspiring to become an Actuary. Kassie is a Resident Assistant for the fall 2013 semester as well as the spring. A fun fact about Kassie is that she is a dual citizen, a citizen here as well as a citizen of the island of St. Lucia where her family is from. She plans to run for St. Lucia in the near future upon returning to health from her knee injury.
Kassie grew up on a track. She started running when she was 10, heavily influenced by her biggest supporters, her father. Kassie's parents, sister and two younger brothers are runners. This summer she returned home to New York City to work but plans on taking summer classes and remaining in Asheville for the following summers. Kassie chose UNC Asheville because she wanted to leave New York City and open up to a completely different area, which Asheville is in almost every sense. She also loves UNC Asheville's small class sizes and being far from home but not too far. She loves that it's in a sense secluded in its own world making it easier to focus on goals and priorities with little distractions.

So Rudy Gay just got traded, the Kings are clearly trying to put something together. First Derrick Williams and now Gay in a 7 player deal. What do you guys reckon?
Toronto's new GM is doing the right things so far in getting rid of most of Conlangelo's mistakes. Next is DeRozen and the new guy will score a trifecta, lol.
Denver made a huge mistake letting him go. Sad that they actually have a competent GM now. I was hoping we could rip the Raptors off for some of their players like Amir Johnson.
Yeah, me too. Damn.
It is sorta scary... Giving Cousins outlets makes that team much tougher... Cousins and Zach Randolph have to have a similar lineage... I read somewhere that the Raptors were lining up the stars so they can get Wiggins... I'd love to see the Clippers get Jabari, but the Clippers record will be long distance to the from any lottery pick...

The two cities in question were Brighton and Chichester, both of which I visited today name of family history. I began the day with a leisurely start and took the bus down to Brighton and then took the train along the south coast to Chichester.
First stop was the Brighton History Centre so that I could spend a couple of hours looking through local newspapers. Brighton History Centre has a great selection of local newspapers on microfilm (and a few originals) and among them is my personal favourite the Sussex Daily News. It was published between 1870 and 1956 and I could quite happily have spent all day scrolling through the pages.
I had several dates in mind, events that I wanted to check and see if they were reported, and I am pleased to say that the Sussex Daily News didn't let me down. There was another mention of the BOXALL's diamond wedding anniversary, with a few more bits of information that weren't included in the one that I found last weekend. Then there were another couple of articles that relate to other family lines (GASSON and DUNFORD), one of which was particularly saddening.
Another report that I was looking for described an event that was captured on one of my latest postcard purchases, this was a bit of background research for a future blog post but quite an interesting story. A surprise find was an article about the bells at Bolney Church which I think have a connection with one of my ancestors as well. All in all a very rewarding visit.
The reason for my visit to Chichester was to visit the West Sussex Record Office. This time though it wasn't for research, it was so I could buy some more of their bargain Ordnance Survey maps. It felt a bit odd not actually going into the search room but just spending an hour or so browsing through the piles of maps. I added another 10 maps to my collection, this time though they weren't really ancestral places but other places of interest, many of them on the South Downs.
Another successful day, quite relaxing in many ways as I wasn't trying to cram in too much, just taking it easy and enjoying myself in the sunshine. Next week, weather permitting, I will get back to some walking.

LOS ANGELES — Scientists said they have fresh evidence that all the gold on Earth was forged from ancient collisions of dead stars.
Telescopes recently detected a strange glow in a distant galaxy. Researchers said the glow came from the collision of dead stars.
Astronomers have long known that lighter elements such as carbon and oxygen are created within a star. But that can't produce heavier elements like gold.
It was thought that gold was created in a supernova explosion. But the new research points to a different stellar process involving the collisions of dead or neutron stars that occurred long before the solar system existed.
The new work was led by Harvard-affiliated researchers and will appear in a future issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Think Barnes should get Plat.
very obvious, Barnes yesterday the entry of Danny elevate Matt Barnes game.
Its nice to have Barnes and Collision in a furious way after CP3 struggling a bit.
But DJ was also very important , his Defence is so big for us. Important block against the Dragon and then great Fts.
Clippers Vs. Lakers - 2014-03-06
Gold: Blake Griffin - Collison had a great game, but Blake almost had a triple double.
Silver: Matt Barnes - Underrated performance of the night. 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Bronze: Darren Collison - Season high in points with 24 points.
-------------------------Medal List-------------------------------------
Platinum Medal
Gold Medal
I always enjoy seeing you give out the Medals, even if I don't comment on it, just want to say, really cool man.
Agreed, I generally don't the games till well after the fact due to time difference so looking at the medals you award is part of me working out what happened.
Clippers Vs. Hawks - 2014-03-08
Gold: Blake Griffin - Another nice overall game from Griffin, 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Silver: Chris Paul - Continues getting back into rhythm with 17 points and 10 assists.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Can't fault his effort on the boards.
Blake Griffin (43 Pts, 15 RBS, 6 AST)
DeAndre Jordan (17 Pts, 11 RBS, 3 STL)
Matt Barnes (28 Pts, 6 RBS, 2 AST)
Chris Paul (40 Pts, 11 AST, 7 RBS)
DeAndre Jordan (16 Pts, 8 RBS, 4 BLK)
No medals for blake please. Even hypothetical ones. He had seven spanking turnovers and was un-clutch from the stripe I. The worst way. Starting to wonder if DJ will eventually be the better foul shooter of the two. His mechanics are better than Blake's. Blake is clearly thinking too much.
I would have given Blake gold probably if not for choked free throws. He turned the ball over too much in this game too.
Yeah but surely 27,8,5 gets him something.
Clippers Vs. Suns - 2014-03-10
Gold: Blake Griffin - Probably would be up for platinum if he had done a bit more than scoring.
Silver: Chris Paul - Put in a consistent effort all game long, not to mention another double-double.
Bronze: Danny Granger - The newest Clipper gets his first medal.
^think you mean the suns. Didn't like Blake's second half, don't want to give him a medal, but his first half was too beastly to ignore! I think it was a good team W. DJ , Barnes, Collision, Granger, and CP all came up big in the game with Blake.
Clippers Vs. Warriors - 2014-03-12
Gold: Blake Griffin - A 30 point, 15 rebound night for him. Not to mention a wicked putback jam.
Silver: Chris Paul - Flirts with a triple-double, 16 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds.
Bronze: Danny Granger - Started out hot and made some key threes.
I'm so glad we have Grangerous.
I would have gave Danny the Silver, I wasn't too happy with CP at first. I would have probably given Willie "I'm always ready" Green" the bronze over CP too (two blocks and DC couldn't do anything with Klay we needed Green there).
Yeah Danny and Willie made the difference today. Nice we have some key players on the bench. 8)
Clippers Vs. Jazz - 2014-03-14
Gold: Chris Paul - It's hard to pick a winner, but Chris shot efficiently while posting 18 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds.
Silver: Willie Green - Off of his hot night two days before, he comes in providing consistent effort.
Bronze: Blake Griffin - Should have had a better game, but good enough for bronze.
Clippers Vs. Cavaliers - 2014-03-16
Gold: Blake Griffin - 2 assists short of a triple-double.
Silver: Reggie Bullock - His break-out game. 14 points to go along with a steal.
Bronze: Chris Paul - His 15 assists shows his great ball-movement.
Clippers Vs. Nuggets - 2014-03-17
Gold: Chris Paul - Finally good to see him have a great scoring game since the injury.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Struggled with his shot, but 26 Pts, 11 RBS, 4 AST, 2 STL, and 2 BLK knocks him above bronze.
Bronze: Matt Barnes - Solid overall numbers.
Clippers Vs. Pistons - 2014-03-22
Gold: Chris Paul - Proved his dominance once again with a spectacular performance.
Silver: Blake Griffin - The next Clipper with 25+ points. Also contributed 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
Bronze: Matt Barnes - 14 impressive points with 7 rebounds as well.
good games from our superstars, but maybe Granger deserves a bronze over Matty '2-for-10' B?
I want to see what granger starting looks like. Barnes shouldn't get twice as many minutes.
Clippers Vs. Bucks - 2014-03-24
Gold: Blake Griffin - Kept consistent throughout the game and ends with 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Silver: Darren Collison - Nice job filling in at the guard spot.
Bronze: Chris Paul - Adds 14 points to go along with 3 steals.
Just out of curiosity, how are the medal winners determined?
Clippers Vs. Pelicans - 2014-03-24
^ Gold medals are determined from majority rules. Platinum metals need at least three votes.
Gold: Jamal Crawford - Hot from three, especially in the first half. 31 points.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Could have scored more, but solid overall numbers.
Bronze: Darren Collison - Just edges out DJ with a good effort.
Who votes and where? Is it somewhere on the forum?
Yeah what votes? I thought it was just your opinion Battlegun.
Clippers Vs. Mavericks - 2014-03-27
^ You vote in this thread.
Gold: Chris Paul - Learned from last night and turned out a big scoring performance. 31 points, 9 assists, and 3 steals.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Solid as usual. Nails the game-winner.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Turns out an impressive double-double, 16 points and 15 rebounds.
Well, I vote for BG to have a tie with Paul for a gold medal. Dude played his best D on Dirk ever. Made Dirk think twice. That does not happen often. Glad Clippers didn't waste his defensive efforts.
Clippers Vs. Rockets - 2014-03-29
Gold: Chris Paul - No doubt. Proved he's still one of the best in the game.
Silver: Jamal Crawford - Second highest scorer for the Clippers with 22 points and 3 assists.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Wraps up another double-double. Even knocked a few free-throws.
Ummm, where do we vote again??
Or how?
Just state your gold, silver, and bronze medal winners for today's game, or a platinum medal if you think a player is worthy enough.
Oh OK. Now, on this thread or game thread??
This thread of course lol.
Chris Paul has to get Platinum for the second quarter alone. He was aggressive in a huge game and never let up.
Gold-DJ (20-12-6)
Silver-Crawford (22-3-3)
Bronze-Rest of the team beside Baby
This was a great game and felt everyone did something to help win whether just playing defense or just hitting a key shot on a bad shoiting night.
Clippers Vs. Timberwolves - 2014-03-31
Gold: Darren Collison - Absolutely dominated the 3rd quarter and ends with 28 points and 7 assists.
Silver: Chris Paul - Continues his hot streak once again.
Bronze: DeAndre Jordan - Nabs a career high 24 rebounds along with 4 blocks.
Dudley should get a medal - coming from me that is a compliment
I'd move DJ up to silver consider he got a career high in rebounds. I might consider giving Duds the bronze over CP just cuz CP will get another one and had an semi-inefficient night. Definitely agree with DC getting gold.
Agreed. Dudley should get bronze, DJ should get silver, and Collison should get gold.
Clippers Vs. Suns - 2014-04-02
Gold: Chris Paul - Kind of invisible for most of the game, but a 20-9 game and the clutch three vaults him forward.
Silver: Darren Collison - Stepping up his game when it counts. Another 23+ point performance.
Bronze: Matt Barnes - Focused on driving to the basket and ends with 19 points and 6 rebounds.
Dudley should get Bronze, not Barnes. Barnes nearly chucked the Clippers out of the game.
Those bullet points don't make that list look better.
Clippers Vs. Mavericks - 2014-04-03
Gold: DeAndre Jordan - Had a big game against a big front-court. 21 points, 15 rebounds, along with 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Silver: Blake Griffin - Achieves the rare triple-double.
Bronze: Chris Paul - A nice overall game.
Clippers Vs. Lakers - 2014-04-06
Gold: Blake Griffin - Our two stars put in a great effort today.
Silver: Chris Paul - Same as above.
Bronze: J.J. Redick - His first good game since the injury.
I'd like to nominate Chris Jr. for setting some of the best picks that I've ever seen.
Gold: CP3. 23 points in 10 shots!
Silver: BG. Another solid outing by Blake.
Bronze: Redick. First good game since coming back.
Good Lord please take those awful arrows out!!!!! Those are the worst!!
I agree with the gold and silver choices. Moreover, CP3 played some very nice defense in addition to his nicely efficient scoring. I would nominate DeAndre Jordan for bronze, he played excellent defense, capped by 4 blocks.
I totally agree. Mainly because it spaces it out a lot. A long list becomes much longer and much harder to see. It was much better before.
Clippers Vs. Thunder- 2014-04-09
There's nothing I can do about the arrows unfortunately.
Gold: Blake Griffin - Comes out with a 30-12-6 effort that almost lifted us on top.
Silver: Chris Paul - Made two big threes for one of our comebacks.
Bronze: Hedo Turkoglu - A nice performance off the bench, 9 points, 3 rebounds, and a steal.

Just over a week ago I showed you a postcard of the "station" at the top of the steep grade railway that used to run up and down the side of the South Downs at Devil's Dyke near Brighton, Sussex. The rather battered postcard below shows pretty much the full extent of the track.
It wasn't a particularly long railway and in contrast to the little engine shed at the top there was nothing other than a platform at the bottom and a short walk to the nearest village, where visitors were supposed to be taking tea. I suspect however most probably just went up and down for the novelty of it.
The postcard was used, but unfortunately the stamp has been removed, taking most of the postmark with it. Just enough is left to see that it was sent in 1906. This card was published by Frederick Hartmann, a national publisher of postcards based in London.
Last week as I returned from Lewes and Brighton on the bus in the late afternoon the path of the track bed was incredibly well defined on the hillside, because of the short grass and low angle of the sun. There are more trees on the side of the hill now, but I wish I could have stopped the bus and jumped out and taken a photo.

They aren't even equals. Blake is CLEARLY the better player right now.
Yep no question about it.
Agreed but cp3 is always injured, which doesn't help his case
Yeah it's like dwyane wade (to a lesser extent of course). Great player but his durability is an issue. Also he just is a better second player and needs a true superstar to get him there. He's a Scottie pippen not a Jordan like Blake
I think Blake is a slightly better player overall, but CP3 is still a great clutch player. I love Blake, but he's not proven to the be the most clutch player yet. He's had a few nice plays at the end of games, but he hasn't done it consistently. It's difficult to judge who's the better player since they're so different. Blake can be an unstoppable scorer at times and he's a physical beast. He's probably the most athletic player in the NBA after Lebron. CP3 on the other hand is the best assist-man in the game and even though he's not the fastest, the strongest, or the best shooter, he has such a high basketball IQ and he rarely makes the wrong pass.
How could I choose between the two? It's like picking a favorite child haha.
The relationship has definitely changed between them. Blake used to very much defer to Chis on court and now it seems much more equal. Like they are working it together with Blake more as the principle guy which is a big shift from last season. And it means that the Clips have got better as team because of it.
Blake is the better player for an entire game.
Paul is the better player during clutch time.
I don't think it is just about who is the better player it is also about the hierarchy within their relationship and the roles they are taking and how that has changed.
Blake is the horse and CP3 is the jockey... we need them both to win the race.
In fairness, Blake has had some clutch plays of his own. But it's harder for bigs to be clutch in the NBA than guards, simply because refs are more inclined to swallow their whistles and it's generally harder for them to create their own shot. There's a reason why Dirk is a huge exception and not the norm.
Blake is clearly the better player now, though.
Think a third guy going this post season scoring wise is the goal. Redick, or Crawford or whoever we need a player looking to put up number to cover in case the Paul injury gets worse.
Blake's defense was incredible in game 2 and Chris's was some of the best I've ever seen from him. They both never let up on either side of the floor.
Our 1-2 punch is the best in the NBA by a decent margin.
Durant and WB is probably better but besides that yea I agree.
CP3 was mediocre offensively but his defense was ridiculously good though Curry statpadding after Chris left the court made it look like he did a mediocre job. Blake was a monster on both ends especially offensively. 35 points on like 17 shots speaks for itself. The Warriors have NO ONE to guard him with Bogut out. He should feast this series assuming he doesn't pick up ticky tack fouls like the first game.
That Is the weirdest analogy ever. Blake is nothing like Jordan and CP3 is nothing like Pippen.
And no I don't agree that Blake is better than CP3 YET but he certainly has been more valuable this season especially considering CP3 missed like 1/4th the season.
Comparing CP3 to Wade is interesting but even he isn't as injury prone as Wade probably because he actually has a jump shot and doesn't rely on his athleticism as much.
Anyway I think they are both a lot closer as players which is a good thing. I can see Blake overtaking CP3 by next season but we will see. It depends on how much Blake improves and I think CP3 could play better than he did this season to be honest. He was very mediocre after coming off that shoulder injury but did play better later.
I would've liked to have seen the clippers resign bledsoe and trade paul for some all star wing player.
I agree with everything you said except for the Blake isn't better than CP3 yet. I don't think CP3 is better either but think they are about the same level. It's really hard to compare as they are totally different positions. They bring totally different things to the game. CP3= best passer, stealer, leader, great defender. Blake = great scorer, explosive, great all-around game, really improved defender.
I still trust CP3 more in the 4th, but if Blake becomes the clutch, go to player in the 4th during this playoffs, he will no question surpass CP3.
CP3 = best PG
Blake = best PF
Both are top 5 players in the NBA when healthy.
Just once can cp3 be healthy in playoffs? If this hamstring thing is really true
(And he isn't moving that well)
How do we beat okc or Memphis even if we get by warriors? It's a shock now if he's healthy.
While I'm one of the biggest Blake Griffin fans there is, I can't agree that he's better than Paul yet. I'm ok with saying they're equals but better, I can't. CP3 does what a PG is supposed to do, which is distribute the ball and make his teammates better, he can score when he needs to, but his Defense is probably the thing that stands out to me. Blake is elite in my opinion, he can light up the scoreboard, he can also distribute the ball and make his teammates better, but just not better than Paul yet. They're hard to compare because of their jobs on the court, but they're both elite in their own positions.
it would make sense in the respect that the team would have bigger window of contention with Bledsoe than with Paul. However, if the Clippers would have done that we would have been criticized heavily
One is the star that will lead to a championship (Blake) and the other has lrove. He can't be the number one guy to lead to the finals (chris) but they need each other. Not really that crazy of a statement, some fans need to be able to think outside the box
Yeah I think it would have been the better value love but there is no way anyone would have done that.
From an outsiders POV, both of these players are first team or second team All NBA. Griffin has come a long way this season. His outside shot and free throws have bridged the gap, and he is pretty scary out there. Paul's injury in the middle of the season turned out to be a blessing for your guys. Griffin stepped up and showed leadership through his play. And Paul is just terrific out there. A true Hall of Famer.
Yea, moving Paul and keeping Bledsoe would be a bad move. Look at the most successful team we've seen over the years, SA. Unless you're getting the Lebron James or Kevin Durant, consistency is actually your best ally. You fail, you re-tool and try again and you lather, rinse, repeat, but you keep your core guys intact and it is the periphery guys that you tweak and rotate and change.
Also you don't move a sure thing superstar level player who is still young for the hope of a guy like Bledsoe being able to replicate that impact, it's just not wise. Then in addition, you look terrible as a franchise for just trading Paul who just gave your team the best 3 seasons its ever had because you think a young guy could possibly be good. Lastly, its even more foolish because you could just keep Bledose and play him as a SG or adjust your roster and play him as a PG/SG 6th man off the bench. It's just too foolish, and now instead of guys like Granger wanting to sign with LAC, those guys are going to SA and Miami.
They are getting a lot closer to equals as players, and I love it. We need to high level star players, and Blake has been reached that stage. They both bring different things that benefit a team greatly, and in different series', I believe we'll get to see each of their little advantages come out in terms of helping the team to succeed. This is great for the Clippers future, and Blake certainly has the tools to be the best player on the team, and that's what CP was saying in the summer himself. If a 5'11 quite fairly athletic guy maximizes his talent (which Paul has really done) and a 6'10 freak athlete (despite short wingspan and reach) maximize their talent, the 6'10 guy should be the one coming out on top in terms of his in game impact, whether the gap is little or not, the height and athletic ability is an extra advantage, especially since they are both high IQ players.
So let's just hope Blake continues to maximize his talent, because his maximal talent is being on the level of Lebron and Durant as a player, and if we had Lebron or Durant, then yes, Paul can be the other high level star. Their are a few ways to win, sure, Paul could be the best player and we win, but we'd likely need a strangling defense if we don't have another similar level supporting star to really be able to compete against the highest level teams. It's not really anything against Paul, realistically, it is the same situation for any star.
Sometimes its even just matchups, one star can fall into a matchup that just restricts him, and if you don't really have any other player to take away the load, it's hard. I mean look at Durant, Paul is smaller than him, but Tony Allen defends Durant better than he defends Paul, it's just what it is. Then of course with just one high level star and even a secondary All-Star, but not high level star, against a more balanced really good team, you're counting on one players ability to positively impact a team to overcome a whole teams ability to produce offense, that's not easy for anyone. Like I said in the game 1 thread, the two best players in the league, Lebron and Durant haven't found it easy to do anything much more than the next tier of elite players can do in the post-season.
Lebron got past the second round twice in Cleveland, once he got to the finals then lost to SA, but his road to the finals had one difficult team, a 53 win Piston team. For comparison, the Grizzlies last year are a better team than that Pistons team. The next time he lost to Orlando and Dwight. Durant has had on season without Westbrook in the playoffs and his team lost in less games to the Grizzles and he produced inferior to the Clippers star against the same team and similar defender (Allen). It's just really difficult to do much alone in the NBA, and even when you get up there offensively, you still need to defend at a high level to beat a team that can also score similarly well if they defend at a high level.
So this is the perfect thing for the Clippers and what I at least have been hoping for since Paul got here, which was that Blake would get his game to a similar level of impact as a player, albeit, both in different and some similar ways, but just the overall impact being there.
^Yep, a bird in hand is worth....particularly a 1st ballot future PG HOF'r bird. Oy vey.

In its short existence, Pagosa Springs� Outlaw Snowdown has grown into a nice little festival with a more than reputable lineup.
Last year�s two-day event brought a good crowd into the cozy and heated tent in Town Park and showcased local, regional and national acts. It was a great outing for the Pagosa locals, as well as a smattering of Durangoans who made the hour drive east in freezing temperatures.
This year should be as good or better. Eight acts will grace the main stage today and Saturday. Tonight�s lineup will feature Pagosa Springs� Brooks-I Band, Durango�s Caitlin Cannon and the Artillery, Whitey Morgan and the 78�s, and Shooter Jennings, son of the outlaw country great Waylon.
Saturday�s lineup will include Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition, Fifth on the Floor, Ohio�s Lydia Loveless (who stole the show at last year�s event) and Mickey and the Motorcars. The latter has gained some traction in Durango as another Austin band gaining fans in the Southwest.
It�s tonight�s third act I�m most excited to see. Whitey Morgan and the 78s is one of a handful of national acts serving as the saving grace for country�s classic era of mid-�70s simplicity. Of all the indie country bands that are doing the retro thing � and there are plenty of good ones � I have yet to hear of anyone who pays the well-deserved homage to country icons like Waylon Jennings better than Morgan. He was born into it; the Flint, Mich., native was reared on the sounds of his musician grandfather. Flint took in loads of ex-Southerners moving north to work in the auto industry, and ironically, the town has seen the kind of luck they sing about in a down-and-out country song.
Morgan�s voice also is straight out of the early 1970s, more attuned to a coin-operated jukebox than some Internet-connected, dollar-a-song contraption. He remains a true-grit example for young musicians of a great era of country; a fresh, but also timeless, sound of the music before it devolved into Milli Vanillis in cowboy hats and politically conformist pop stars guided by suits making overproduced music videos of themselves water-skiing in Levis, and before Blake Shelton shoved his foot in his mouth blasting the country of decades ago.
But moaning about old vs. new country is something Morgan won�t feed into; he simply doesn�t have time to fuel the battle.
�For some reason, I started out being a bitter younger musician, and now that I�m getting older, I�m actually less bitter, which doesn�t make much sense,� Morgan said from his Michigan home. �I�ve become a lot more open-minded about things. I have given up on the whole being (angry) about the Nashville machine, the country music or whatever they call it that�s coming out of there. To me, I�ve learned to ignore it. There�s nothing I can do to fix it, I�m doing my thing, and hopefully, it will make a bit of a difference in the end.�

A mandatory time-out period was declared after a foolhardy foray into the topic of snow removal two weeks ago. Emotions were high � as were the piles of snow. There was an avalanche of letters.
So with this week�s warming trend, we will explore some of those icy issues.
I�m a downtown resident who is doing my best to shovel. However, the city pushed three feet of snow in the parking space next to my house, reducing my already limited parking. Am I expected to do a better job at snow removal than the city? � Perplexed
The main issue here is the phrase �snow removal.�
Unless the city hires a front-end loader and a dump truck, there isn�t much �removal� going on. It�s more like �relocation.�
There are winters in which the city must hire heavy equipment and dump the snow on land across from Rivergate, where it becomes a massive, smelly, filthy glacier that lingers into June.
So civic �snow removal� is a lose-lose situation. Action Line suggests getting some black cloth or plastic and covering your snow mound during the day.
Call it a cheapskate solar snow oven, but nature will do a better job than city intervention.
If I slip on a path the city is supposed to maintain, can I then sue the city? The bridge across the Animas River between 15th and 17th streets was never touched by a shovel. I know that suing the city is like taking money out of my own pocket, but how else do we get the city to follow its own rules? � Slick Rick
You certainly can sue the city, but the deck is stacked against you.
Action Line checked with a personal-injury attorney. The initial consultation was free, of course.
�I don�t know a lawyer in town who would take a slip-and-fall case against the city,� he candidly said, citing rules, limitations, hearings and a lot of legal posturing required long before you can even show up in a courtroom.
�Unless it�s a really, really bad situation, it won�t be worth the time, hassle and money even if you have a decent case.�
Forget the courts and take matters into your own hands, er, feet.
Just a short skate away from that Bridge of Icy Doom is a great shop called For The Birds, which sells Yaktrax, a nifty traction device you can slip over your shoes.
Yaktrax in your coat pocket provides freedom from government incompetence, bringing new meaning to the phrase, �Don�t Tread On Me.�
And finally, thanks to �Sleepless Shoveler,� a reader who prefers to remain anonymous, who penned a blistering and hysterical municipal missive that included these observations:
�I know we are supposed to love the snow, for the skiing, for the rivers, for any number of reasons in this region. But I hate the snow. Hate is a strong word, and my wife and I try to dissuade our kids from using it. So let�s put it this way: I despise the snowplows.
�I am disappointed in their callous approach to their duty. In the wee hours of the morning, when I hear them rumbling by our house, I wake up in a cold sweat because I haven�t yet gotten the chance to get out there and stake out my territory, guard it with my shovel.
�It�s when they callously drive by and shoot a berm of the worst kind of snow boulders over my sidewalk that I go volcanic.
�I�ve talked to the city. �That�s just the way it is,� I was told, by the caustically helpful lady who answered the snow-removal line when I called.
�I have chatted with the head of the snowplow crews, who as much as said, �Tough luck, buddy,� though he said it nicely. I have sent letters to elected officials and the city manager. Pleading gets you nowhere in this town.�
Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you remember there are 10 more shopping days until Snowdown.

Inside is a magnificent complex of rooms, including the largest concert hall in Prague, an elegant French restaurant, a Czech beer hall style restaurant, a traditional café, the first American bar in the Czech Republic and exhibition rooms.
Municipal House opened in 1912, having been constructed on the site of the former Royal Court Palace. It gained fame on the 28th October 1918 when the historic proclamation of the independent state of Czechoslovakia took place here.
Municipal House is the main attraction on Republic Square. It stands next to the Powder Gate, one of the original entrances to Prague's Old Town. Both the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square are just a few minutes walk away.
It is a beautiful building from all aspects. The outside has intricate stonework, gold trimmings, frescos and stained glass windows.
Inside, a marble staircase leads to the huge Smetana Concert Hall, which is only rivalled by the Dvořák Hall at the Rudolfinum. The Smetana is an architectural masterpiece, a mix of carved white stone and gold illuminated by hundreds of lights, and with frescos by Karel Spillar adorning the walls.
Classical concerts in the Smetana boast some of the largest orchestras to play the city. Indeed Municipal House is home to the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.
The first-class Francouzska Restaurant is a delightful place to enjoy French, Czech and International cuisine in grand surroundings. While downstairs is Plzenska Restaurant, which serves more traditional Czech fare in a lively beer hall atmosphere.
Next to Plzenska Restaurant is the swish American Bar, the perfect place for a pre-dinner or pre-concert drink, serving a range of cocktails, spirits, beers and wines.
Municipal House also hosts temporary exhibitions, which we list in Prague events.
All concerts listed on Prague Experience at Municipal House take place in the grand Smetana Concert Hall. For listings and to book tickets: Prague concerts

Certainly, no one wants to be bothered on their job.
Unfortunately, some jobs lend themselves to more pesky folks than others. Such as, street performers.
What could be worse than standing in the sun all day, trying to attract a few dollars and being poked and pronged by a random onlooker.
Keep in mind, other pedestrians advise him to leave the man alone. But he continued, expecting the man to stay in character.
So the livid street performer, on Surfers Paradise in Queensland, Australia, decides to take matters into his own hands and throws an unexpected blow straight to the nose.
This street performer either has a great arm or this guy has slow reflexes.
The act was caught on tape and posted to YouTube, where it received over 5.4 million views on YouTube in 3 days.

Frickin' unbelievable. Heartbreaker for the Clippers.
I wish his bum ass did stuff like that for us....sigh....
**** the **** off!
f***** pathetic, well-deserved loss. Embarrassing.
Randy, why?????
Wow against Foye no doubt.
I hate sports until the next Clippers win. f***** refs and their whistles.
Foye gets the last laugh.
That fluke shot sucks but the game should never have been that close to begin with.
Damn good shot by Foye.
That was horrible execution from Denver, can't believe they still made the shot.
I expect us to get whistle raped against the heat as well. 2 loss streak here we come!
Still wish we had his talents on this team. Great shot. I'm not even mad
He did hit a clutch 3 against Memphis
Exactly. Let the blame game begin now I guess.
Too many missed free throws. This really sucks. And now we have some really hard games.
Man. Tough loss.... But the Clips played it well on the final possession. I'll take that as a final shot every time.
This is one intense game!!!
Can we PLEASE make a trade now? The front office needs to do something.... this roster isn't getting out of the first round.
Let's move on to the next game.
Heartbreak I put a lot of this on Doc for not having Collison on the floor at the end of the game more when we looked confused. Dudley should of been in to guard on a defensive play instead of Crawford and we should of had DJ foul.
BG should have stepped up sooner. he could have cut Foye off sooner so he doesn't get that look.
Well we deserved this loss honestly. We didn't rebound, didn't play defense, and fouled on every possession down the stretch. This is what we get.
Great game. Sometimes **** just happens.
Have to give it to Randy Foye, it was a nice shot
Nope. Be patient and wait until nearer to the trade deadline. More good opportunities will open up around there.
Can't say I'm too upset about this outcome though. Fluke shots like that won't happen every night.
Oh well. I had hoped the Clippers would have been able to capitalize on the Portland loss tonight. Tough loss. Have to move on and play well and win against Maimi on Wednesday.
^That's tough... Randy was coming full speed around that screen and I'm guessing BG didn't want to risk the contact and getting the foul.
Well, Marc Davis certainly helped out the Nuggets with some very suspicious fouls and violations called vs the Clippers. The guys battled hard, but just couldn't overcome. If the defense was a little better, the defense a little better, this still could have been a win. But again a good effort by the guys.
The four consecutive possessions where the Clippers couldn't avoid fouling the Nuggets cost them this game.
"WE"!?!?!? You have said nothing positive about this team since you have been on here and now its WE?
Wow... I don't trust the Clipper defense.... Just foul. Go into overtime
Hard to be mad at Foye. He was a good player and hard worker for us. We put ourselves in the position to lose anyway.
Sure I am Doc and you are a GM of what ever team you like to be a GM of.
Me: I have Jamison an aged vet that can help your young guys.
OK maybe you take Willie, Dudley??? Barnes??? MULLENS????
Bullock? Ok now we are getting somewhere. Who can i get???
I thought he did? Shoot terrible in a game and then hit a big three? Sounds just like Foye
Refs raped us pretty bad
Game should not have been close DC should of been in when they went on a run.
I feel sick over this. They need to play like they are major underdogs against Miami.
I just realized I was behind 2 minutes on the Dvr. That was depressing...
2 things that are baffling:
Why was crawford in the game on defense?
Why did Barnes shoot that 3 with 6 seconds left? You always gotta go for the last second shot to avoid the type of situation we were in.
You mean "the 4 consecutive.... cost them the game with a little help from Marc Davis"
This game showed to me that Dudley needs to be traded for a rebounding big and Matt Barnes should come of the bench as a defensive stopper. This will take the pressure off Barnes because Crawford and Collison will lead the second unit on offense.
1 Unit
Chris Paul
2 Unit
New Pf after the trade
Matt barnes is not a defensive stopper haha. He is best friends with the foul
Marc Davis single handedly won this game for Denver with make up calls and BS foul calls on Blake. What a disgrace.
It was pretty obvious that they were going to attack Jamal off the timeout. We already know how bad he is when chasing his man off screens.
As usual disappointed with the fundamentals of the team when it comes to boxing out. Also annoyed that the Clippers did not set good screens for JJ the whole game, which forced him into contested shots.
Besides that, good game, and let's get ready for the next one.
Well, I'm upset. This game should not have come down to a fluke shot. This should have been an easy win - instead, we shot ourselves in the foot big-time going into a tough stretch of the schedule that includes Miami, Toronto, Portland, San Antonio, Memphis and OKC. Inexcusable. And I don't trust our defense to do anything in must-win games.
Yeah, he might stop the ball handler from scoring a field goal, but free throws count too.
I disagree. Once the switch was being made, BG should have pulled up. It took time for BG to react. At that point in time, BG should have known there was only time for a 3pter. having BG closer to the three forces Foye to throw up the shot sooner. Oh well, move on to the next one.
Point one: Do not have an answer.
Point two: Down one you wan to give yourselves a chance at an offensive rebound and still be able to play fouling game.
Wow, Denver had 52 rebounds to Clippers' 37. Yikes. Wake up call, Clippers. I'm hoping this will be rectified soon. Getting CP3 back will help, I'm sure.

By NOAH FEIT
JOHNSTON — After trailing by double digits on a number of occasions, the Strom Thurmond High School boys' basketball team battled all the way back. The Rebels tied the score at 49-all less than a minute into the final quarter of Friday's Class AAA second-round playoff game against Darlington.
From that point on, it was all Falcons, as they responded with a 9-0 run a few minutes later to pull away for a 73-64 victory that ended the Rebels' season.
"We didn't get back on defense, and they got quick baskets," Strom Thurmond head coach Bo Rouse said as Darlington outscored his team 24-17 in the fourth quarter, possibly capitalizing on a Rebel squad that was running out of gas after mounting the comeback. "We worked hard, but it took something out of us to get back in it."
It was a fast-paced game throughout, with the players on both teams displaying tremendous athleticism. The climb back from the deficit might have caused Strom Thurmond (19-7) players to go just a step slower, while also causing Darlington's five on the floor to play with greater urgency.
"We got in transition and were able to finish," said Falcons coach Ken Howle, whose team will play Myrtle Beach in the next round. "(Strom Thurmond) has remarkable athletes, and they played very physical. We made some plays and capitalized on mistakes they made."
Darlington (18-6) had some impressive players as well, none more so than James Richardson. He scored a game-best 23 points and was the player finishing several of those transition opportunities, frequently with dunks that fired up the large contingent of Darlington fans that made the trip to Johnston. Richardson was one of four Falcons to score in double figures, with point guard Frankie Johnson posting most of his 14 points in the fourth quarter when he iced his team's win at the free-throw line. Johnson was a perfect 8-for-8 at the charity stripe, where Darlington got a combined nine points from Markus Williams (13 points) and Cayland Howard (10 points).
In the first half, the Falcons built their big lead by dissecting the Rebels' zone defense.
They used accurate passes and quality shooting from the perimeter to start the second quarter on a spurt, where they outscored the home team 10-2. They also used flashes of pressure at three-quarter court to force Strom Thurmond into some sloppy mistakes that caused empty possessions.
In spite of the miscues, the Rebels never quit and attacked the rim with vigor. In his first game back from a frightening ankle injury that sidelined him for the Rebels' playoff opener, Daquarius Johnson led the charge. The long sophomore played limited minutes but still led his squad with 15 points.
"Johnson helped us," Rouse said of the player who didn't show any ill effects of the injury early on, flashing to the basket, ending one fastbreak with a two-handed jam and connecting on three 3-pointers.
Johnson and Deontrez Mealing will be two key players returning for the Rebels next season, but the core of this squad which won the Region 5-AAA championship will be lost to graduation. There were seven seniors on Strom Thurmond's roster, and six of them scored in Friday's loss.
Jasergio Kennion and Aaron Cook tallied 12 points apiece while fellow senior Baylor Jones followed a 20-point performance in the first round with 10 more against Darlington, making him the Rebels' leading scorer in the playoffs. Brothers Hykeem and Ty Brooks as well as Josh Hamilton rounded out the Strom Thurmond scoring, combining for 15 points.
"My guys played hard, and I'm really proud of them, especially the seniors," Rouse said.

The Los Angeles Clippers have examined the possibility of acquiring LeBron James this offseason, according to sources.
The Miami Heat consider the Clippers to perhaps be the most serious competition to sign James if he opts out.
League executives believe the Heat would ask for Blake Griffin in return from the Clippers. Los Angeles would need to shed additional salary.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10404 ... t-decision
Love the idea of LeBron, not so crazy about trading Griffin for him. As great as LeBron and Wade are, not sure they win championships without a good PF like Bosh.
Trading Blake for the King......I'd honestly hesitate if the opportunity presented itself. Blake is much younger and is still improving a lot. I mean, it's just hard to imagine losing Blake for anybody really. It'd be like we cheated the system if we won it all with the best player in the world who had already won it somewhere else. Just feels.....wrong lol.
Man, what a gamble. We could hypothetically shed lots of salary in hopes of getting Lebron and then end up with nothing. Or we could get lucky and get him, and possibly win it all. What
If by some miracle, LBJ does come, Clips would only have a 3-4 year window of winning. Meanwhile Blake wouldn't provide you with a higher chance of winning every year, but he can be dominant for at least another 7-8 years for the Clips.
no no no no no no no. I have a huge conversation string on ESPN about this article. Blake is not tradable in my opinion. It will be very hard for me to accept any trade involving Blake. He is our brand. He is our rock. I am sure there are other ways we can improve without giving up Blake.
Exactly. Terrible Idea.
Lebron realistically is all downhill at this point. He will be 30.
This is his last Prime year. No upside. Although he will still be
Blake is dominating and is on the way up. It's scary to even fathom
what blake in his prime will be.
I love it when people see the big picture. Its exactly why I wasn't for the Garnet for Deandre Jordan trade. Your window is a huge factor to consider..the larger it is the more room you have for failed seasons due to injury or players having bad years..ala Dudley. A Blake for Lebron trade isn't the right idea.
Come on, you can't compare a 37 year old, past his prime KG to a 29 year old who happens to be the best player in the world. I mean, I love Blake and he's nearly untouchable, but there are only 2 players I'd trade him for - LeBron and Durant. You have to do it.
The general rule of thumb is Blake is un-tradeable........except maybe for King James.
I have explored the possibility of adding LBJ to my rec league team as well.
Personally Blake is untradeable in my opinion. Blake has been one of the key pieces in turning our franchise around. Do the Bulls trade MJ for Magic in 88? (I know Blake isn't MJ, but you never know to what heights he can get too)
Maybe Durant, and that was more if Blake wanted to play in his hometown. No age difference there either. LBJ and CP3 could be very redundant. We have seen Blake's passing ability be held a little on check due to CP's own great passing ability.
I'm personally not LBJ's greatest fan, and think that Durant is closing the gap rather quickly. I have always wondered how he would fare if he was going through a grueling western playoff tree rather than a eastern version. Due to freakish athleticism and size, as well as incredible skills he is the greatest player in the league now; but still thinks that he has faltered in mentally tough clutch situations to this day. He would have to go through many more of these in every Western playoff series. I know that CP is as clutch as they come so that pressure would still be alleviated, but don't like the idea of him not wanting that shot.
With all that said if we could get him without trading Blake then I'm all for it.
Wtf is this bullsh*t. Another espn crappy ass rumor
It's just coincidence this story came out the same day the Clippers play Miami on ESPN.
No no no no no no no no no,not for BG32. Throwing away a lot of good years doing that
yea i always said that i would never trade blake unless it was for lebron james or kevin durant but when i think about it i rather BG retire as a Clipper.
If Its Blake for LBJ you should at least consider.
Don't think it will happen though.
i know we're on a clippers forum but anybody saying trading blake for LBJ is a bad is a homer.
cp3 and Lbj would mean rings for the next 3 years at least
If it wasn't for blake.. Chris would've never come to the clips. Blake Griffin is the heart n soul of this team and i'm not even gonna consider one bit of trading him to any player especially to the athlete who has never loyal to his fans.
Yeah, I think you've changed my mind. Blake's already a top 5 player right now or top 10 at the minimum according to some people.
Blake's also 5 years younger.
Chris straight up for LBJ is a whole 'nother story, but is LeBron willing to come here with no CP? Idk
There's a very good chance that 2-3 years from now, Blake will be the better player. I'd have to think long and hard about that trade.
Added a poll- would you trade BG for LBJ? I personally would not because Blake is still younger & improving, and quickly becoming Lebron-esque.
Yea, I think with LBJ holding all the cards and some other (both SA and Dallas who are well below the cap next year) contending teams he could choose from, maybe we could "force" the Heat into a deal surrounding DJ + others + picks instead of the Heat just watching him walk out the door. Worth the try if it comes about.
Really? So cp3, Lebron James, and Antoine Jamison at the 4 will
get it done? Where as Wade, Lebron, And bosh couldn't even get
it done their first season together.
So how you can predict 3 rings from that I don't know.
You do realize that there hasn't been a championship team
in the last like 15 years that didn't have an All-Star big man.
LBJ is to some extent a PG in a gorilla's body. Why would we need CP?
Totally agree. IF he chooses to leave, it's pretty much "send me where I want to go, for what they want to give, or get nothing".
I'm actually a little concerned about "fit" though. Blake and LeBron look more similar as players with every passing year. If we really could get an MVP-caliber player without giving up Blake, Durant or George would be so much better for our balance, but that's not happening.
I guess with that much talent, we'd find a way to make it work.
Damn this is actually hard. I always said that the only player I would trade Blake for is LBJ. But now that this might be a possibility, I'm having second thoughts. Look I know Blake will never be as good as Lebron but man I just love him. I guess it's just me being loyal. And winning the championship with LBJ just seems so... unsatisfying. I mean I consider him a top 3 player of all time when it's all set and done.
If anything, it'd make more sense for us to move CP3 for LBJ. In my opinion, Blake is more important to this team long term. If LBJ is leaving, they're not getting a better deal than Paul, they're in no position to demand Blake.
I still say no. this team was pretty much built with Blake is the centerpiece and it is working,if it works don't fix it
Yeah, I had to go with "no". Winning it all with our own "home-grown" superstar is just too enticing a possibility to give up on.
30 years from now when I look up at his retired jersey, I'd like to tell my grandkids that I remember the day we drafted him. I just hope he shows us the same loyalty.
Chances are low that he comes, but it would be nil if Paul's not here. Lebron wants to play with Paul and that's the gravity of the whole article.
I think the chances are lower than 5% but if its a real possibility i don't see how you don't give up Blake for Lebron i just don't.. At the same time If Lebron leaves Miami your essentially trading for a player who will no doubt leave the team once his contract is done..
I willl post the insider report in another thread,merge if neede
Look there's no guarantee that Blake doesn't opt out and leave...it's a business. If a trade happened for LBJ and we end up where Miami is now, it's fine we me.
I feel this also. It would just feel weird if James was in a Clippers' jersey.
Wow, now I feel like **** for just considering trading Blake. That's no longer an option for me.
I have much more respect for players like Reggie, Dirk, Duncan and other players who stayed with their franchise throughout there whole careers.
I want Blake Griffin to be the 1st thing that pops in your head when you think of the Clippers in 20 years.
Nah, you have to consider it when we're talking about the best player on the planet. But after careful consideration, my answer is "f*ck, no!".
The only player I would trade Blake for is Durant!
You got a small forward who either CAN shoot (but is not afraid to) or one who CAN'T shoot (but doesn't try to)?
Clips might be in the market.
Na man. Blake Griffin is our founding father. He's going to play his entire career for the Clippers, be the first Clipper to have his jersey retired, and going to have the team name changed from the "Clippers" to the "Griffins" with his superhero logo from the Kia commercials as our logo/mascot. Stop it.
I'd trade Chris for Lebron.
Agree we can trade Chris to Lebron we have more advantage to Griffin he is young and can improve more to dominate the game.
How sick would it be if Melo and Lebron came for waaaaay under league max to play with BG CP and DJ?
Who wouldn't.
this is cool but I think if LBJ will come here, it's because CP3 convince him, How much would be their salary, BG32+CP3+LBJ=??? can Donald S, will open more of his wallet? but if it's a trade then we don't need a high caliber PG. Lebron always take over that position when it's needed
So maybe the Clippers win a championship sooner than later by acquiring LBJ and trading Blake. But would anyone feel good about that? We win by getting the best player in the NBA while shipping off the guy we drafted? The guy who's given us so much? The guy who's represented the franchise in the All Star Game 4 years in a row now? The guy who started the turnaround for a perennially troubled franchise? Any win for the franchise would be huge, but I wouldn't want to do it like that.
if lebroned sign with us in the first place a few years back we couldve had a big 3 of chris paul james and griffin. at the time we still had gordon and kaman and aminu which were the essential piece used to get paul. and we wouldve still had dj. if he only knew
I've been a Clipper fan for a long time, if we traded Blake (against his will) I would have to consider following another team. To be honest, I had a difficult time when we traded Eric for CP3 too (I can admit that I was wrong on that, but that is based more off his attitude with NO). Lamar left, Loved Corey but he didn't want to be here towards the end, Brand faked us out and took off.
If Lebron leaves Miami, and he doesn't go back to Cleveland, I really wouldn't want that much to do with him. He's a great player, and I know winning usually heals most issues, but it wouldn't feel like won a championship rather than have bought one. I never liked the fact that he went and joined forces somewhere else. I understand it more from Carmelo's perspective where he hasn't been able to do it as the main piece and maybe it's time to play second fiddle to win.
I'd understand if it was further down the road and he couldn't do it with the roster, but Miami has given him all the pieces to win. If he leaves there is no sense of loyalty, look at how Miami treats all there players. It's a family, and I would like for the Clippers to do the same. This starts with us showing loyalty to the first great player that has shown loyalty to us. Blake has shown loyalty to us from the get go, he didn't buy into the cursed Clippers hoopla even after his injury. He carried the team his rookie year even in the midst of being surrounded by an unmotivated Baron and Kaman.
I'd like to have LeBron James on the Clippers but at the cost of Blake Griffin? I don't think so. I love the combination and chemistry of our core guys and I'm not willing to give that up for the best player in the league right now. I like the direction Blake is going and I just see him getting better and better over the years and eventually developing into the most dominate power forward in the league.
