Staples Center
Attendance: 13,614
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Chris Kaman scored a game-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, as the Los Angeles Clippers picked up their first win of the season with a 93-90 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center.
Eric Gordon added 17 points for the Clippers, who had lost their first four games to begin the year. Baron Davis chipped in with 13 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. Rasual Butler made just 3-of-15 shots on his way to 12 points for the victors.
"I'm happy about the win. we did a lot of good things," Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy said. "But we had too many turnovers that let them back into the game."
Al Jefferson had 24 points for the Timberwolves, who have lost three in a row since a season-opening win over the Nets. Corey Brewer tallied 14 points, six assists, and four boards. Jonny Flynn and Oleksiy Pecherov each had 13 points in defeat.
"I like the scrappiness of this team, especially the way they played in the second half. They gave us a chance to win. I'm happy with the progress," Minnesota head coach Kurt Rambis said.
A pair of baskets by Jefferson tied the contest at 86 with just 1:45 to play. A Gordon driving layup was followed by a Kaman free throw gave LA an 89-86 margin with 53.4 seconds remaining.
Jefferson's turnaround hook shot at the other end cut the deficit to one with 25.9 ticks left. Butler put the Clippers back up by three with a pair of foul shots. The Timberwolves didn't back down, as Ryan Hollins' slam made it a 91-90 game with 13.2 seconds to go.
Once again, Butler made two shots from the charity stripe to put Los Angeles back up by three. Brewer's three-point attempt was off the mark in the final seconds.
Trailing 28-26, Los Angeles bridged the first and second quarters with an 11-0 run. Craig Smith's layup capped the spurt and made it 37-28 with 9:35 left until half.
The Timberwolves responded with eight straight points to cut the gap to 37-36 with 7:22 to go. Ahead 52-48, the Clippers closed out the first half with a Marcus Camby layup and three Davis free throws to make it 57-48.
Minnesota used a 16-5 run in the third frame to get back in the contest. Jefferson's reverse layup topped off the flurry with 4:56 left, cutting the deficit to 66-64. LA held onto a 71-70 edge heading to the fourth.

Google has disabled both uploads of videos and comments on the Korean version of YouTube after the South Korean government tried to enforce a new law which requires web sites with at least 100,000 users to verify the person's real name if they upload files or leave comments.

According to officials at the Korea Communications Commission (KCC), the country's broadcasting and telecommunications regulator, the law is an attempt to quell the cyber-bullying and spread of misinformation on the internet.

Traveling to India is truly an exercise in sensory seduction. The exotic, spice-filled aromas, brilliantly colored saris, and shifting landscape of snow-capped peaks, sand dunes, and tropical canals will leave you awestruck. India's diverse scenery is matched only by its diversity of cultures. Approximately one-third the size of the US and home to thousands of different ethnicities, attempting to cover the entire country in a single trip is a daunting task. The key to a successful honeymoon in India is to focus on a region (we recommend either the north or the south) and explore it fully. Here are two itineraries that will let you appreciate India's vast beauty without feeling overwhelmed.

Skateboard park bids at less than $40,000; June opening possible
The dream of a determined bunch of youth and adults is finally taking shape in Perham.
Bids for a skateboard park were selected at the Perham City Council meeting April 12.
The bids came in substantially lower than earlier estimates. The concrete pad and the equipment will cost just under $40,000. The skateboard park committee raised nearly $55,000, and were anticipating construction and equipment costs as high as $60,000.

Educational Testing Service (ETS) and My Learning Plan have partnered to launch an online library of K-12 classroom videos for teachers and administrators.
The unedited lesson-length videos are recorded in real classrooms and searchable by grade and subject, as well as setting, which includes rural, suburban and urban.
Shot with HD cameras to show the entire classroom, the videos are also recorded with multidirectional microphones to enable viewers to hear student interactions and discussions.
Features of the ETS Classroom Video Library, which will be available as part of a subscription service, include:
"We expect the ETS Classroom Video Library to become a valued resource by schools, school districts, teachers, administrators, institutions of higher education, and professional development providers who are all working on important teacher effectiveness initiatives," said Linda Tyler, ETS vice president of new product development, business innovation, and growth. "User creativity, combined with the video library's versatility, will only expand its usefulness over time."

Re: OMG i need liveaboard soon.
You should change your mind, as this is a very bad option for you.
It isn't cheap. And zero marina's in Southern California will let you go about your plan if you show them "I'm doing this because it's the cheapest thing I can think of."
By a VW Vanagon, a couple grand. Sleep in it during the day at parks or a beach parking lot, and drive it around at night so you don't get ticketed for sleeping in it. Get a $30/month gym membership to take showers and get ready at.
There's your cheapest option.
The only feasible BOAT option I see, that would help you, is to buy a cabin cruiser (more bang for your buck, cheaper, just as much for sale out there, easier to drive/move) but even so, I would bet that you can't live on it anywhere. Every marina is up to capacity with people in your shoes, plus those who WANT (versus NEED) to liveaboard and they don't allow more liveaboards.
You could try somewhere shady, Wilmington/San Pedro, they might let you.. But plan to have $800 cash a month for the slip rental, power, and averaged expenses to save for bottom cleaning, and things breaking down (Guaranteed, as the boat has not been lived on, the daily stress will break things quickly)
Surveying a boat is necessary for insurance - that's expensive and takes a couple days out of your schedule.
Insurance might look at you and decline your application because you want to liveaboard, it's going to be tough to find insurance that's okay with your actions.
Oh, and to apply for a slip you need the boat, a recent survey and insurance. To get the boat and insurance you need a slip to fall into place by the same day - see the problem?
If you buy one off a person on craigslist who says "Slip may be transferable" then beware, they better be cool with the dockmaster because most marina's having waiting lists that people paid deposits to be on and are hoping to bump someone like mr. craigslist out the second he sells his boat and let someone on the list in...that isn't you.
Whatever you do, don't by a sailboat and think this plan will pan out.

Im staring into your beautiful eyes,
As we sit away from the world,
What people say about us is only lies,
Theres nothing wrong with me and you.
Gently I press my lips up to yours,
Knowing well never be treated the same,
But I wont hide behind locked doors,
My love for you is completely pure.
I know youre a girl, and I am too,
But if you were a boy it wouldnt be better,
You know its true that Im in love with you,
But we still arent treated like thats so.
Hold me close and hold me tight,
We cant marry or be treated fairly,
But please, lets never give up the fight,
This moment is perfect and so wonderful.
But one day the world will see us for who we are,
And know that theres nothing strange,
Theyll grant us marriage everywhere, near and far,
Well one day be considered the same.
Though as I wrap my arms around you,
I know were pure and more in love,
Than any other two straight fools,
Thats all that matters between us.

Barry Levinson's "The Bay" is another found-footage shocker, but with a welcome difference. Instead of being cobbled together from shaky-cam footage allegedly shot by clueless teenagers whose video shows lots of their own shoes, this one is built around suppressed video allegedly filmed by a professional cameraman for public access TV.
It also incorporates cell phone video, Skype interviews and video shot on board a boat by a young couple who have chosen the wrong day to take their baby out for a cruise. The theory is that all this material has been kept secret in a cover-up of the pollution of Chesapeake Bay (which in fact is heavily polluted, but never mind).
As the film opens, a young TV journalist named Donna Thompson (Kether Donohue) recalls a terrible July 4th a few years earlier when a waterborne parasite began to attack swimmers and other local residents. Identified as isopods, the creatures have mutated into carnivores the size of big cockroaches and begin to devour their victims both from the outside in and the inside out — a nice touch, that.
The reasons for the mutation are hinted: run-off from a giant chicken farm, where the poultry feed is laced with steroids, and a possible radiation leak from a nearby nuclear reactor. It goes without saying that the local mayor (Frank Deal) denies any problem, having learned from "Jaws" that it is better for people to die than for tourism to be affected.
Local doctors and police try desperately to call for help, but find it difficult to get a response on a busy holiday. Contacts between an emergency room doctor and the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta are well done, and not reassuring.
Although there are some scary moments here, and a lot of gruesome ones, this isn't a horror film so much as a faux eco-documentary. Levinson, a major director ("Rain Man," "Wag the Dog") seems more interested in spreading a green message than terrifying viewers. Nothing wrong with that, but audiences lured in by the trailers may be disappointed. At least the film is watchable and audible, something you can't say for most found-footage films, including great stretches of the "Paranormal Activity" series, which is turning into a parasite of its own.

This Australian documentary, that has won praise from professionals in the field, highlights how real estate distorts the rest of the economy.
Visit the rest of our Video Collection.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
more transformation than reform; it's a step ahead. Harvard economics students this year did petition to change the curriculum, in the wake of the English who caught the dissension from across The Channel. French reformers, who fault conventional economics for conjuring mathematical models of little empirical relevance and being closed to critical and reflective thought, reject this "autism" – or detachment from reality – and dub their offering "post-autistic economics". Not a bad name, but again, academics define themselves by what they're not, not by what they are, unlike geonomists. We track rent – the money we spend on the nature we use – and watch it pull all the other economic indicators in its wake. We see economies as part of the ecosystem, similarly following natural patterns and able to self-regulate more so than allowed, once we quit distorting prices. To align people and planet, we'd replace taxes and subsidies with recovering and sharing rents.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
a way to redirect all the money we spend on the nature we use – trillions of dollars annually. We can't pay the Creator of sites and resources and are mistaken to pay their owners this biggest stream in our economy. Instead, as owners we should pay our neighbors for respecting our claims to land. Owners could pay in land dues to the public treasury, a la Sydney Australia's land tax, and residents could get back a "rent" dividend, a la Alaska's oil dividend. We'd pay for owning sites, resources, EM spectrum, or emitting pollutants into the ecosphere, then get a fair share of the recovered revenue. The economy would finally have a thermostat, the dividend. When it's small, people would work more; when it's big, they'd work less. Sharing Earth's worth, we could jettison counterproductive taxes and addictive subsidies. Prices would become precise; things like sprawl, sprayed food, gasoline engines, coal-burning plants would no longer seem cheap; things like compact towns, organic foods, fuel cells, and solar powers would become affordable. Getting shares, people could spend their expanded leisure socializing, making art, enjoying nature, or just chilling. Economies let us produce wealth efficiently; geonomics lets us share it fairly.
not a panacea, but like John Muir said, "pull on any one thing, and find it connected to everything else." Recall last month's earthquake in El Salvador. We felt it and its formidable after-shocks in Nicaragua. Immediately afterwards, my host nation, one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, sent aid to its Central American neighbor. The Nica newspapers carried photos of the devastation. They showed that the cliff sides that crumbled had had homes built on them while the cliffs left pristine withstood the shock. Could monopoly of good, safe, flat land be pushing people to build on risky, unstable cliffs? If so, that's just one more good reason to break up land monopoly. What works to break up land monopoly, history shows, is for society to collect the annual rental value of the underlying sites and resources. That'd spur owners to use level land efficiently, so no one would be excluded, forced to resort to cliffs. To prevent another man-induced landslide is yet another reason to spread geonomics.
not exactly Georgism, the Single Tax on land value proposed by Henry George. He did, tho', inspire most of the real-world implementations of the land tax that some jurisdictions enjoy today, and modern thinkers to craft geonomics. While his name and our remedy both begin with "geo" since both words refer to "Earth", the two have their differences. (a) George pegs land monopoly as the fundamental flaw while geonomics faults Rent retention. (b) To fix the flaw, George was content to use a tax, while geonomics jettisons them in favor of price-like fees. (c) George focused on the taking while geonomics headlines the sharing. George envisioned an enlightened state judiciously spending the collected Rent while geonomics would turn the lion's share over to the citizens via a dividend. (d) And George, as was everyone in his era, was pro-growth while geonomics sees economies as alive, growing, maturing, and stabilizing. Despite these differences, George should be recognized as great an economist as Euclid was a geometrician.
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat — or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off — a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
The real test of our values is not when things are going well but when things are not going well.
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
Courage is saying, "Maybe what I'm doing isn't working; maybe I should try something else."
The problem with political jokes is they get elected.

Do you believe in magic?
That was the opening line and title, as many music fans know, of a peppy 1960s hit by The LovinÆ Spoonful. ItÆs also the question at the hocus-pocus, hi-jinxed heart of ōNow You See Me,ö about a group of dazzling young performers that the FBI believes may actually be thieves with one than one trick up their sneaky sleeves.
Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher play the magicians, known as the Four Horsemen, whoÆve become sensations for their sell-out shows, which combine baffling feats of hypnotism, levitation, vanishing and reappearing, and always end with a fat payoff: hundreds, thousands, or even millions of dollars, given away to the audience and apparently stolen Ś poof, just like that Ś from banks that might be thousands of miles away.
Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), with a special assist from a beautiful French Interpol officer (Mķlanie Laurent from ōInglourius Basterdsö), smells a rat. He turns to Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), a TV and DVD personality whoÆs made his fortune exposing the fakery of famous magicians.
Another acting veteran, Michael Caine, plays the HorsemenÆs wealthy sponsor, with a sizable bank account that stands to get even fatter if he can prevent FreemanÆs character from cracking his actÆs secrets.
But no one can figure out the identity of the HorsemenÆs anonymous benefactor, the ōdesignerö of the act itself. WhoÆs behind the trickery Ś or the larceny? These four former ōstreet magiciansö certainly didnÆt rocket to overnight superstardom by themselves.
And then thereÆs the theory that the Horsemen arenÆt crooks, but initiates of an ancient mythic ritual using magic to ōeven the scales of justice.ö
Do you believe in magic, indeed?
ItÆs a slick little cat-and-mouse caper wrapped around a novel idea, and the likeable cast runs with the fun, sometimes literally. ThereÆs a fast-paced chase through a New York apartment building that includes a dual drop down a trash chute and then into the streets, where the action continues in cars. Another foot pursuit takes places on the crowded, reveler-filled alleyways of New Orleans.
Anyone who likes magic will enjoy how much the movie dwells on the conjurerÆs art, depicting a spectrum of tricks and illusions Ś and, in some cases, revealing how theyÆre done.
But the movieÆs real secret, however, is the one that it keeps until the very end, a surprising revelation that finally sorts out whoÆs who and whatÆs what.
With a cool cast, a twisty-turny plot, and a fresh, feisty spin on disappearing bunnies and musty old pick-a-card routines, ōNow You See Meö might just be the rare movie about magicians to make cash registers do a serious ring at the box office. If it can do that, thatÆll be its best trick of all.
WHAT: ōNow You See Meö

Boston Globe - In Pittsburgh, tradition is forged in steel
Very flattering column by Dan Schaugnessy with the Boston Globe
The Steelers are football. The Steelers are the NFL. And, naturally, the Steelers are good again. The Patriots play the Steelers at Heinz Field tonight in a game that will tell New England fans exactly what kind of a team Bill Belichick has this year. As ever, when you want to measure your mettle in the NFL, you go to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers. If you have been to Pittsburgh to watch the Steelers, you know exactly what I am talking about. If you've never been, maybe you've picked it up just by watching on TV. Pittsburgh is simply the cradle of the NFL. The Steelers are about continuity, excellence, toughness, and tradition. They are football's comfort food. You see the logo on the right side of the helmet and you know you are watching the NFL at its best. In New England, we like to talk about the Patriots being the team of the last decade and the team of the new century. The Steelers are simply the team for all time. http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...p1=Upbox_links Interesting how a sportswriter from a city which has experienced a pretty successful decade in sports (two World Series wins/three Super Bowl wins) has no problem acknowledging the success of another franchise whereas the writers in Cleveland and Cincinnati (particularly Cincinnati) consistently bring the hate when writing about the Steelers |
