A seven-foot phenom may be China's second hoops star, and the search is on for the third
The spindly, silky-smooth forward from the University of Texas sat down with TIME's Sean Gregory to discuss the draft, a taskmaster parent, and the doubters that drive him
No, the Utah Jazz has not disbanded since John Stockton and Karl Malone took their short shorts and their pick-and-roll precision into retirement. Quite the contrary. The Jazz has reached the Western Conference finals, its furthest incursion into the postseason since 1998, when S&M lost to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the Finals.
When Phoenix's Boris Diaw leaped off the bench after teammate Steve Nash was hip-checked to the floor in the waning seconds of Game 4 on Monday night, he was more likely to be delivering croissants than seeking retribution against San Antonio's Robert Horry, the player who committed the foul on Nash.
Rasheed Wallace, the self-appointed deejay of the Detroit Pistons' locker room, had a tough time settling on his musical mood on Sunday at Chicago's United Center. To prepare for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals -- and an expected sweep of the Bulls -- he first selected a high-energy Nas tune, but after nodding to the beat for several measures, he abruptly switched to a mellower cut. Then, following the Pistons' 102-87 loss, Sheed cranked up Chaka Khan singing Tell Me Something Good to ear-splitting decibel levels, only to emerge from the shower and switch to the Lipps Inc. classic Funkytown, shaking his booty to the bass line.
There's no point in trying to get inside Jeff Van Gundy's head, trying to anticipate his next move or moving into guesswork territory with the Houston Rockets' front office. If either side had made a decision regarding Van Gundy's future with the Rockets, the press release would have already been issued.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Guard Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers and forward Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors headline the NBA All-Rookie Team, which was announced on Tuesday.
When I am introduced to someone new and asked what I do for a living, I explain I am writer who covers sports, specifically the NBA. The next question asked -- with nearly unfailing inevitability -- is if I have a favorite NBA team. Answering that the Atlanta Hawks are my team seems to encourage a pause in the conversation. Nobody knows anything about the Hawks. A basketball fan proclaiming allegiance to the Hawks is like a politico asserting their support for Kucinich in '08 -- there will always be more questions than answers.
There's a difference between being a "playoff upset victim" and a "playoff disappointment." As the first top seed to lose a seven-game first-rounder to an eighth seed, the Dallas Mavericks, obviously, are both. But they are much more disappointment than upset victim.
The NBA has released its list of early-entry candidates for the draft, and that means it's time to crunch some numbers.
As I watched a replay of last week's absurdly overcrowded, absurdly premature Democratic presidential debate at South Carolina State University, my thoughts suddenly turned to the NBA playoffs.
Here he comes now, the Sultan of Small Ball, the Maven of the Mismatch, the Pioneer of the Point Forward, the hottest new old thing in coaching, a 66-year-old, white-haired man with a cup of coffee in one hand, a stubbed-out stogie in the other, a belly that spills over the lip of his khakis and only one nickname that will stick: Nellie. But what a nickname it is, one that can describe a style of play (Nellieball) or be inserted into a tired headline (whoa, nellie!) or, these days, be spit out like an epithet, at least around Dallas -- particularly, one imagines, in the lair of a certain hyperactive, media-savvy owner who just 25 months ago was paying Nelson to coach his team.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Who is the NBA MVP? According to the league's general managers, it's Dirk Nowitzki.
Few words need be expended on the departure of Ohio State man-child Greg Oden to the NBA. He announced in a statement on Friday that it "was a very tough decision," but it was also a move that everyone expected and no one begrudged. He came, he took the Buckeyes to within one win of a national title, he left to become the No. 1 pick in the draft. What more could OSU ask of him -- other than that he remain in class 'til June so as not to injure the team's Academic Performance Rate with the NCAA?
With the six-month "preseason'' complete, we now enter the two-month real season: Sixteen teams, as many as 105 games, and the best basketball on the planet. Here are a few things to watch for as spring approaches summer:
As he leads his Cavaliers into the playoffs against the Washington Wizards on Sunday, Cleveland coach Mike Brown will measure the moment against his NBA beginnings in 1992, when he broke in as a video guy with the Denver Nuggets. He equipped a cubicle off the weight room in McNichols Arena with a pillow, toothbrush and change of clothes, and grabbed catnaps on the training table. When he finished an edit he'd taxi the tapes out to the houses of coaches, who might slip him a twenty as a thank you. "I was going 'deck-to-deck,' all by myself," says Brown, referring to the clunky technology of that era. "But I wouldn't swap the experience for anything. There's been a carryover to everything I've done in this business. Breaking down tapes, I had to be meticulous."
Sooner or later it always happens: The Phoenix Suns run a pick-and-roll against the Dallas Mavericks, leaving Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki to face off at the top of the key. They have been there countless times before, Nowitzki in his awkward defensive crouch, his right arm extended as if a lion tamer's chair, his mouth guard protruding. Nash is in front of him, waiting for the help defense to clear out, for his teammates to space themselves, until it is just the two of them near the three-point line: the two-time MVP and this season's favorite, the two best players on the two best teams in the NBA, two men whose lives diverged but remain intertwined. This time they are playing in front of 18,422 at US Airways Center in Phoenix, but the setting could be anywhere. A YMCA in Dallas. The Western Conference finals. Nash's backyard.
With apologies to John Lennon: Imagine there's no conference/It's easy if you try.... In such a world, NBA playoff teams would be seeded 1 through 16 without regard to conference affiliation, meaning that the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks could meet the Phoenix Suns or the San Antonio Spurs (the second and third seeds, respectively) for the NBA championship. In such a world, we would not have to concern ourselves with the likes of the New Jersey Nets and the Orlando Magic, the bottom-feeders of the (L)Eastern Conference bracket.
DALLAS (Ticker) -- The Dallas Mavericks on Thursday signed center Kevin Willis for the remainder of the season.
You could make a strong argument that the high point of the history of professional sports in Memphis was when Andy Kaufman and Jerry "the King" Lawler staged a series of professional wrestling matches there in the 1980s that have become part of pop culture legend.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The trial for Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Jackson, accused of shooting a gun during a fight at a strip club, was shifted from Thursday to May 10.
Isiah Thomas, if you're reading this, it's time to end the season. This is the part of the movie where Old Yeller gets taken out back and shot.
It happened two nights before Christmas. Six minutes into a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets center Yao Ming jumped to block a shot. As he did, teammate Chuck Hayes toppled toward him. Yao remembers a great weight bearing down on his right leg, then a sharp pain. He sank to the floor at Houston's Toyota Center, clutching his right knee.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Two-time MVP Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs earned his first Player of the Week honor of the season. Gerald Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats has one more than that.
Also in this column: • Wizards at a loss without Butler • Chinese 7-footer the No. 3 pick? A lot of uncalled-for hot air is being exhaled on rumors that Billy Donovan will leave NCAA champion Florida to coach in the NBA. This much I can tell you: If an NBA team hires Donovan, it will mean that its owner either doesn't know what he's doing, or that he's infatuated by the short-term buzz generated by the hot college coach of the moment.
With about five minutes left in Sunday's game at US Airways Center in Phoenix, the Dallas Mavericks went to a matchup zone, their dozenth defense of the afternoon. The Suns appeared confused, but eventually forward Shawn Marion darted to his left across the lane and put up a righthanded floater that was nearly blocked. It was an awful-looking shot. It also went in, giving Phoenix a 109-96 lead that all but sealed its 126-104 victory.
The NCAA tournament may have been a showcase for the Florida Gators to win their second consecutive championship, but it also provided the final national stage for collegians to impress their potential future employer, the NBA. Given that everyone this side of Mars agrees that Ohio State's Greg Oden and Texas' Kevin Durant will be the top two draft picks should they choose to leave college after one year, SI.com spoke to an NBA scout to ascertain who else helped improve their draft stock -- and who didn't -- throughout the 2006-07 college season.
One of the ways scouts try to evaluate young players is to compare their skills to an older player who has some similar characteristics. If the older player is an established star, and the younger player has some of the same attributes his elder did at the same age, such a comparison can help in projecting the younger player's future.
Basketball was never meant to be played to the thumping, mechanical cadence of hip-hop; the NBA is best suited to the impulsive rhythms of jazz, and that is what Kobe Bryant played to last Friday night in the cradle of jazz, New Orleans. From the troubled drama of Bryant's past has emerged a blissful eloquence that, like Dixieland, is both disciplined and liberating. His jump shot is an elaborate riff that holds an audience rapt: Shoes squeak in panic around Kobe as he gathers his breath, his shoulders swaying to the ball-beat at his fingertips, a distracting glance this way as he bursts there into space, corkscrewing as he rises up and up, his right leg splayed like a clarinetist leaning back in full-blown solo.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Kobe Bryant, who is on the greatest scoring binge since Wilt Chamberlain, was named NBA Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday for the second straight week.
One week from now, the NCAA champion will be crowned, brackets will go back to being the metal things that hold shelves together and you'll no longer have a good excuse to put off cleaning out the garage.
There's a lot of talk lately about either the National Basketball Association or National Hockey League moving a team to Las Vegas.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Kobe Bryant's latest scoring explosion earned him NBA Player of the Week honors.
It's a question raised every year around this time, usually via an e-mail from my Dad or a friend: Could the best team in college basketball team beat the worst team in the NBA?
Also in the Weekly Quiz: • MVP race is still Nowitzki's to lose • Pistons sometimes hard to figure
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of candidates for the NBA's Most Improved Player award this season.
With the memory of Wednesday's scintillating double-OT Phoenix-Dallas game still fresh in my mind, and anticipation rising about a San Antonio Spurs team that has won 13 straight and shows no sign of stopping, I'm going to reverse direction and talk about the Eastern Conference.
The NBA's hottest team plays in Texas, it owns the league's longest winning streak, and you get the feeling that the San Antonio Spurs are just starting to figure things out.
NBA commissioner David Stern has said several times that he wants to avoid the perception that college basketball is just a glorified farm system for the his league. But by establishing an age limit that requires kids to attend at least one year of college, that's exactly what NCAA hoops has become. And instead of talking about an Ohio State dynasty or the advent of the Pac-10, people are arguing about Oden versus Durant.
Not every team playing in the NCAA Tournament has a legitimate NBA prospect, but most have players who will play professional basketball on some level. Remember, not all NBA players come from the power conferences, and some of them have names you will hear for the first time (Trey Johnson?) during this year's tournament.
As the Dallas Mavericks quietly chase history -- emphasis on quietly because they are the least-noticed great team in quite a while -- thoughts turn to the best teams of all time. Could the Mavs, 51-9 as this is written, join that list? Old-timers may demur, but what Dallas is doing this season is remarkable. Even if you dismiss the Eastern Conference -- and please do -- take a look at the West, against which the Mavs have a 32-6 mark.
It's a long season, we wholly submit, and that's usually enough justification for the players who play the game and the media who cover it to lose their collective focus and concentrate on the flavors of the month that usually turn up in February, March and April. If that means scribes end up picking the team that finished with the best record down the stretch to win it all, fine -- nobody gets hurt with a semi-educated guess. But when deserving players are passed over for well-earned hardware, it's time to raise some hackles.
John is, by trade, a secretary, a friend, a manager, a wingman, a middle man. John knows people who know things. Actually, his name is not John, but I cannot tell you his real name. I know several people who work in a similar field as John, but I can't share their names, either. John is that doorman with long braids and a faux-European attitude, deciding exactly who does and does not get behind the velvet rope. Maybe the easiest way to describe what John does is to say that John gets things done for people who hire him. Specifically, for NBA players who hire him. Need a car? A house? Someone to take care of your stuff? Tickets for your wife and girlfriend? John's job is to be their fixer.
Dirk Nowitzki was rewarded for lifting the Dallas Mavericks to the top of the NBA.

On a cold winter morning in 1986, Dennis Johnson and his Boston Celtics teammates stood outside of Market Square Arena, unable to get inside for a shootaround before their game that night against the Indiana Pacers. Johnson bundled his coat around him and pulled down his ski cap over his ears.
Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson has seen a lot of trade deadline days come and go in his 27 NBA seasons. He knows that some years are busier than others. But even Dawson was surprised this year's deadline passed so quietly.
As potential trades go, the best ones were either dehydrated, prostrate or about to have their plugs pulled. But with less than 24 hours to go, the Cleveland Cavaliers were making a final all-out attempt at reviving their candidate patient.
LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Two-time MVP Steve Nash will return on Tuesday when the Phoenix Suns visit the Los Angeles Clippers.
I picked him up at the airport in Bangor, Maine, and I asked him, 'How many bags have you got?' He said he had four. I said, 'Good. That will take you only two trips to get it in the van.' And I walked off and left him. Let him make two trips carrying the bags by himself."
The year was 1992. Another NBA trade deadline day was in full swing. My phone rang every five minutes with another rumor, some fantastical and others with an element of truth. A few calls came from people inside the league who had very good information, and others were from my basketball fanatic friends, who had absolutely no information, but plenty of imagination.
With the NBA All-Star Game hitting Las Vegas this weekend, it's only a matter of time before an NBA franchise relocates to Sin City for good. This, of course, comes after commissioner David Stern and his fellow sporting chiefs have spent years decrying the evils of gambling. But hey, if that's the way they want to play it, the 10 Spot is happy to jump aboard. Here's an early line on potential bets for that inaugural season of the Las Vegas Grizzlies, Hornets or SuperStrippers:
For the millions of Americans who gamble on sports, predominantly with illegal bookmakers or nefarious Web sites, the arrival of NBA All-Star Weekend to Las Vegas is equivalent to the Berlin Wall coming down.
LAS VEGAS -- NBA commissioner David Stern has asked Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman to come up with a compromise on sports betting -- the strongest signal yet of the NBA's intention to place a team in Las Vegas.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Carmelo Anthony is finding his game again.
BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) -- It appears two-time MVP Steve Nash will be sidelined for the All-Star Game in Las Vegas.

One night in September 2000, on a makeshift stage in a resort ballroom on Sanibel Island in Florida, Cablevision Systems CEO Jim Dolan stood before a captive audience of subordinates -- six or seven dozen senior managers from Madison Square Garden and its sports properties -- and began to sing. It was a lark, one of those gags designed to blow off steam after a day of meetings. Still, barely a year had passed since Dolan had taken full control of the Garden and its two main tenants, the New York Knickerbockers and the New York Rangers, and many in the room had had only glimpses of an owner who, for his entire adult life, had been overshadowed by his father, cable-TV pioneer Charles Dolan. The tales of Jim's drug-and-drink-addled past, his volcanic temper, his shifting moods, were already legendary, fueling the image of a spoiled boy who had been handed the keys to perhaps the most prized property in all of U.S. sports. No one expected a song.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Miami Heat guard Gary Payton on Monday was suspended one game without pay by the NBA for his actions in Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
NEW YORK (Ticker) -- The NBA has rewarded Mehmet Okur for picking up the slack for the Utah Jazz.

In the NBA, the playoffs are the holy grail. Jobs are dangled based on whether a coach can guide his team into the postseason and whether a general manager has acquired the right talent to guarantee an owner at least two home playoff date. Failure to do so (repeatedly) usually results in firings and a major roster overhaul.
I can hear the protests right now. How can you compare the two teams? One of them is immortal; the other one has never even been in the Finals. You must be nuts.
A year ago the Minnesota Timberwolves were 19-21 and hoping to surge into the playoffs when they sent forward Wally Szczerbiak to Boston as part of a seven-player, three-draft-pick deal in which they received swingman Ricky Davis, center Mark Blount and guard Marcus Banks. But their newcomers had a hard time fitting in, and Minnesota went 14-28 thereafter, missing the postseason for a second straight year, which brought ever more criticism upon vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale.
When Charlotte Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor leaps to block a layup, he often turns sideways, like a waiter navigating a crowded room, so that he can extend his right arm as far as possible. When he leaps to block a dunk, however, the 6'10", 252-pound Okafor tries to go straight up, the better to neutralize his opponent's momentum. Considering that a blocked dunk is one of the rarest feats in basketball -- at week's end there had been only 113 in 603 NBA games this season -- this is easier in theory than in practice.
College seniors played a big part in the first round of the past two NBA drafts. That isn't likely to be the case this June.

NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Injured Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, who may not be able to play in next month's NBA All-Star Game, still leads all players in the latest returns of fan balloting announced Thursday.
We want to glide into the new year nicely, so this first five-pack of 2007 singles out players, five from each conference, who are overachieving, or, at least, playing above what some people thought they might, at least one of those people being me. This doesn't mean they are bad players playing well; in particular, I don't want one of them -- identified later -- to get mad at me. Note that I have left out rookies: Who really knows what to expect from them?
National Basketball Association star Shaquille O'Neal has signed a five-year contract with Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning, the company said Monday.
The National Basketball Association, which stirred some controversy earlier this season with a new dress code for its players away from the court, has licensed a new line of men's dress apparel.
The NBA has committed its share of fouls in recent years -- it's never a good thing for a player to go after a fan in the stands -- but franchise values keep rising and corporate sponsors are jostling to get into business with the league. A big reason why is China.
The National Basketball Association's controversial new dress code has some clothing manufacturers offering players free clothing in an effort to land endorsement deals, according to a published report.
What if they held an NBA finals and none of the stars came?
The playoffs start this weekend for the NBA, which only seems like it stands for "No Broadcasts on ABC."

A school with alarmingly low vaccination rates was the scene of a pertussis (also known as whooping cough) outbreak. There have been two confirmed cases of pertussis in a sixth-grade classroom at Yuba River Charter School, according to the weekly memo issued by Nevada County Executive Officer Rick Haffey. The Nevada County Public Health Department is currently investigating this outbreak. "I wouldn't say that low vaccination rates are responsible for the outbreak, but it could be responsible for the spread of the disease," said Tex Ritter, interim director of public health.

Heightened Security Fuels Shredding Industry
Heightened privacy security measures in the medical field and efforts to prevent identity theft in other business sectors have fueled growth in the company's shredding department.
According to Robert Johnson, founder and executive director of the National Association for Information Destruction Inc., shredding has become a $1.2 billion dollar industry. Although NAID has 500 active members, the market may include more than 1,500 companies. In addition to that, a mix of record storage companies also offer shredding services, so it is hard to get a valid number.
"The industry is growing about 25 percent a year and has held steady at that rate for the last three years and I think it will stay there for a while." - Robert Johnson.
Key Items to Consider When Selecting a Document Destruction Service
- Does the prospective vendor meet and exceed all of the requirements related to HIPAA? For example: do they have their employee's background checked and drug tested?
- Is the company an active member of the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID)? If not, how do they keep up with all the current security concerns and knowledge of the industry?
- Does the vendor have his employees bonded against employee dishonesty and theft?
- What is the vendors service record? For example, how long have they been in business? Have they experienced any negative incidents?
- Does the company have the capable equipment for your volume? Also, will they be able to handle emergency pickups, or extra pickups, or large purges and clean outs?
- Like many industries, the document destruction industry is under mass consolidation. Ask your prospective provider what their long-term plans are. For example, the company you reach an agreement with may not be the same company you do business with months later (national chains).
- Witnessing - Could you send your representatives to the vendor's site to witness destruction/shredding activities?
- Does the vendor have policies and procedures to securely transfer your documents to the shredding site?

The art department is holding its semiannual Pottery Sale fundraiser from May 7 to 11. The event is held throughout the week in the Art Building, ending with a silent auction.
Students, staff and professors create various pieces of pottery and donate them for the fundraiser every semester.
Anne Van Blaricom, gratis employee, said, "Students make artwork for this fundraiser to support the art department."
Van Blaricom helps students and watches over the studio. She said, "All of the students or professors volunteer and donate their artwork, which is a real big help."
Ceramics professor Mary Law said there is usually jewelry and paintings displayed at the event, but this semester, it is likely there will only be pottery and ceramics on sale.
Law said the silent auction should pique interest and generate bids by the end of the week. Friday (May 11 this year) is usually the sale's busiest day.
"People who are interested can bid during the whole week. There will be several pieces of art that will be displayed and people can place their bids on a piece of paper that will be in front of each piece," Law said. "Usually on Fridays, it gets really interesting and there is a frenzy of bidders."
Van Blaricom wants people to come to the event to see what students are doing in the Art Building, which sits on the hill toward the back side of the campus.
"I just want it to feel like an open campus, that is open to the public, so they can see what we do and also have an opportunity to be a part of it," she said.
Cindy Klaetke has been in ceramics classes for four semesters and is creating a replica of an ancient Greek Mycenaean cup.
"Every semester I help set up the event," liberal arts and humanities major Klaetke said. "I usually donate a piece every semester."
Emily Cooper, art major, is donating a variety of bowls and vases.
"I love being in ceramics," she said. "I put a lot of work into my pieces and I really recommend people to come because it is a great event."

Sure. Here goes.
I saw a slope with a 16% from afar. So I hitched a ride to the top on a passing truck. Once at the top, I gave the trucker a 50 for his help and took a good look around at the breathtaking views. Gusts of air stirred my scanty hair to life as I mounted the bike. But I quickly put a stop to that my donning my helmet and set off for a white-knuckled, screaming descent downhill. I think I dropped my intestines somewhere along the way and my ears are still ringing from the sound of the wind in my ear. I don't think I'll be doing it ever again.

Although not the problem they're generally made out to be tomatoes are one of the vegetables that do have an influence on a wine pairing. Being quite acidic, especially when dressed with a vinaigrette, you want a wine that has a good level of acid too - and not too much, if any, oak.
Tomatoes are generally held to be a problem for wine but as Jane McQuitty robustly puts it in The Times today - nonsense!
A surprisingly good pairing I came across in a local Italian restaurant on Saturday night. The (admirably light) home-made gnocchi were dressed with a fresh tomato sauce with basil which I would have thought would have been overwhelmed by the firm, well-structured 13.5% Barbera the boys had ordered with it - a Ca' del Matt 2002. (For preference I'd have drunk a dry Italian white such as a Soave.) But it was spot on - even better than it was with my main course of slow roast pork belly.
Before we finally plunge into winter here's a late autumn supper menu from my book Food, Wine and Friends that combines the best of autumn's produce with a couple of convenience products. Ready rolled pastry has made it wonderfully easy to knock up a quick, impressive tart while a simple dessert of grilled fruit dresses up a bought carton of ice cream. The soup can even be made ahead and frozen if you like.
Provence rosé has a particular character. It's much crisper and drier than most rosés on the market, more like a white wine than a rosé - though within this style there are variations between the lighter, less expensive wines or 'vins de soif' and the more structured ones, which the local refer to as 'vins de gastronomie'.
Asking which wine to pair with salad is a bit like asking about what wine to match with meat or fish. There are so many different types, there's no single answer. It depends on the vegetables you use, what other ingredients it contains or accompanies and, most importantly, what type of dressing it has.
One of the few food and drink combinations I don't feel that happy about is wine and soup. Not all soups, obviously, but many of them.
Just as with any other grape variety Sauvignon Blanc varies markedly from one part of the world to the other - from the crisp minerally wines of the Loire to the exuberant grassy herbaceous Sauvignons of the Marlborough region of New Zealand.
As you might imagine it doesn't make any difference what shape of pasta you're dealing with, what counts with wine is the flavour of the sauce. There are too many to mention, but here are the main types you're likely to come across.
If you happen to be an ardent Pinotphile, as I am, an invitation to the annual International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) is of the same order as an invitation to a lock-in at the sweetie shop. For an entire weekend every July, hundreds of Pinot lovers, professionals and amateurs alike, throng the Linfield College Campus in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley in order to talk about Pinot Noir – and taste it – with the men and women who make it.
Another interesting insight on pairing red wine and fish in Tuscany this week. We were served lightly salted cod with a rich tomato and pepper stew called ciambotta at Tenuta Argentiera which proved a perfect match for the mature 2004 vintage.
The last two days have been quite, quite beautiful, starting mistily, basking midday in an unseasonally warm sun and finishing with an extended dusk that announces that spring is finally here. I immediately want to eat lighter meals: the new season's vegetables are not quite in yet but I can at least plan for summer and that means a spring clean of the cellar, pushing the full bodied reds to the back and assessing what whites, lighter reds and rosés I still have lurking in the racks.
There was a time, about 10 years ago, when I wrote a lot about Merlot which was widely regarded as wine world's alternative to Chardonnay - an easy drinking red wine that went with almost any meal.
This week is National Pie Week in the UK - not that we Brits need much encouragement to eat pies. It's also been seized on by an enterprising PR agency as an opportunity to explore wine and pie pairing but to be honest I'm not convinced that beer isn't the better drink - with the majority of British pies at least.
I'll be doing a major round-up on my trip to Provence next week buthere are a few more thoughts on matching rosé and food, an update of mylast overview
For the next 10 days I'm going to be visiting the vineyards of Oregon and Washington State so the site will turn into more of a blog. Our first day yesterday included lunch at Chateau Ste Michelle, by far Washington's largest wine producer.
If you're used to choosing wine - or other drinks - to match with meat or fish you may be flummoxed when it comes to chosing one for vegetarian friends. But as I explain in my Guardian column today it's a question of finding out how the wine is made - and in particular whether any animal-based products have been used in the fining process.
I came across this unlikely combination while I was flying back from Argentina with the Brazilian airline TAM* who have this year decided to inaugurate a Brazilian menu in business class devised by a woman chef called Ana Luisa Trajano. And quite right too.
If you think of the ingredients that show off a great wine mushrooms would have to be near the top of the list. Possessed of the sexy ingredient umami - the intensely savoury taste identified by the Japanese, they flatter and act as the perfect foil for wines as disparate as vintage Champagne, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Yesterday I had lunch with some old friends in a chic little Italian restaurant called Trenta. It's in in the upwardly mobile neighbourhood just west of Edgware Road in London into which Tony and Cherie Blair have just moved. (It also has a Jimmy Choo shop two doors down. It's that kind of 'hood)
This coming weekend sees the 16th annual festival of the Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) in San Francisco. I went one year and it was an absolute blast - two great sheds filled with hundreds of enthusiasts enjoying this great belter of a red.
Heston Blumenthal's Jubilee picnic hamper was unveiled yesterday - to be served at Buckingham Palace before an open-air concert on June 4th. The picnic is being funded by Waitrose who must be pleased as punch to have the Palace's endorsement in this video. The guests will also apparently be given vouchers for a glass of Moët or a bottle of Cobra beer (the other sponsors of the event).

In the past, cell-based assays required the use of expensive HTS equipment, which lead to limited accessibility for scientists in the assay development stage. In order to reduce this bottleneck, BMG LABTECH developed the NOVOstar, an exciting microplate reader for screening a large number of compounds in fast kinetic, cell-based assays and research development. The NOVOstar is a compact microplate reader offering five detection modes in a unique combination with an integrated pipettor system for automated assembly and instantaneous reading of assays in microplate formats up to 384-well.
Exceptional Technologies The NOVOstar has numerous features that cannot be found on other microplate readers including:
Software The NOVOstar multidetection microplate reader comes with BMG LABTECH's established reader control software and powerful MARS data analysis software. It is compatible with the Windows XP / Vista / 7 operating system, offers an extended ASCII data export function and is fully compliant with FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11. The familiar and highly visual reader control software allows flexible definition of microplate layouts, filter selection, interval and injection times, as well as measurement frequency, heating, and shaking parameters. During measurement, it is possible to observe the data with the current state view, which allows viewing of raw values, ratios, curves, or even color coded pictorials in real time. The comprehensive Data Analysis Software - MARS - offers a template manager for building complex data processing protocols and a wizard-guided interface to create easy step-by-step calculations. New features include powerful sort and order functionality; averaging of raw and blank corrected data, lock on data trace, automated or user-defined range adjustment, zoom functions, and a curve fitting library to allow fast calculation of EC50, IC50, r2, and CV values. In order to run BMG LABTECH microplate readers, you also need a personal computer with WindowsTM operating system (7/Vista/Win 2000/XP). Easy export to MS ExcelTM 2007/2003/2000/XP is possible.
NOVOstar applications include:
Due to the integrated pipettor system, the NOVOstar is especially well-suited to screen large numbers of compounds in kinetic cell-based assays or to create a dose response curve by measuring a wide range of analyte concentrations.

[author: Michele Bowman]
An engineer hired by the city of Cohasset outside Boston is stirring up an already-shaken political beehive with an age discrimination suit. Mark Brennan, 64 years old, lost his job to a much younger man and is fighting to return to work by filing a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.
When a new town manager cleaned house after being hired in 2011, he rescinded the contract Brennan had signed with the former town manager. Brennan claims he was treated poorly by the new manger and then fired in March 2012. He reapplied for his job, but in September it was given to a 39-year-old at a lower salary.
Age discrimination covers a broad category of workers, and the age at which you can claim it is much younger than you might think.
Defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as simply "treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of his [or her] age," age discrimination laws apply to any private employer with 20 or more employees, as well as to government and even labor union employers.
The EEOC provides a few other basic facts about age discrimination:
Age discrimination appears to be on the rise: The EEOC reports having received more complaints about it almost every year since 1997.
But it can be difficult to prove. "Simply being older and being mistreated is usually not enough proof of discrimination," says Bill Bransford, a lawyer with Shaw, Bransford and Roth, P.C. in Washington, D.C., in a recent blog post.
"To be successful, it helps to have a very significant age and qualification difference between the person claiming discrimination and the replacement. It also helps to be able to point to age-related comments referring to youth and vigor," Bransford says.
Bill Bransford
What about retirement? Can employees who have passed the age for retirement sue for age discrimination if they're fired and replaced with younger workers? That depends.
"Some employees are offended and feel discrimination based on age when comments are made about the employee's retirement plans," notes Bransford. "But such inquiries from employers standing alone are not sufficient evidence of age discrimination."
"Nonetheless, the law is clear that an employer cannot discriminate based on age and cannot require you to leave your job just because you have lived a long time," he says. "The exception is for air traffic controllers, law enforcement and firefighters. The courts have upheld the mandatory retirement laws as statutory exceptions to the age discrimination prohibition."

Citing and Writing Help
Research at the university level can be intimidating. If you have questions about how to find information, our librarians are always ready to help, but sometimes it is good to have a written explanation that lets you see the big picture and learn at your own pace. These guides introduce concepts that may help you understand research assignments and learn to find good sources.
When writing a research paper, you will need to incorporate other people's statements and ideas into your writing, in order to provide expert support for your ideas. When you do this, you will need to make it clear to a reader where you found these statements and ideas, whether in a book, an article, on the internet, in a film, by talking to someone personally, or through any other means. This shows a reader that you did your research, and also allows her to find that same information if it interests her.
Plagiarism is when you don't cite your sources correctly. But how will you know what constitutes plagiarism? How can you avoid it?
This lesson is intended to help you learn about plagiarism. It will discuss ways to paraphrase others' ideas when you do not want to quote them directly. It will NOT focus on the specific forms of citation, that can vary between different academic fields. For more information on specific citation styles, such as MLA, APA, and others, see the UHD Library's Citing and Writing page. Citations in this exercise will be in APA format.
Simply click on each tab at the top of the page to read through each section, ending with the Practice page.
Once you're done, if you have further questions, you may want to speak with your instructor first, since he or she will be most familiar with your scholarly work. You are also welcome to click on Ask a Librarian to ask about citation style specifics. The UHD Writing-Reading Center, in N925, will help you with the specifics of writing and editing your paper. Using all of these resources available to you will help to make sure you succeed in your college education!

Aldo De Nigris scored a goal in each half and gave Mexico a 2-0 victory over Wales on Sunday, the first of three friendlies in 11 days for the two-time defending CONCACAF champion before the start of World Cup qualifying.
De Nigris, playing for Mexico for the first time since September, headed in a cross from Monterrey teammate Severo Meza in the 43rd, and chested in a driven ball from Edgar Andrade in the 89th after Mexico dominated possession and outshot Wales 29-4.
The match in the New York City suburb of East Rutherford, New Jersey, was one of a series of friendlies for CONCACAF sides preparing for the start of the semifinal round World Cup qualifying on June 8. Panama defeated Jamaica 1-0 in Kingston later Sunday.
Mexico will face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday in Chicago and then Brazil in the Dallas suburb of Arlington on June 3 before facing Guyana to open qualifying five days later.
Besides De Nigris and Meza - who was making his first appearance for Mexico, manager Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre employed two other members of two-time CONCACAF Champions League champion Monterrey in his starting lineup: Jesus Zavala and Luis Ernesto Perez.
Mexico had an overwhelming share of possession and had attempted nine shots before Wales - playing under manager Chris Coleman for the first time - generated its first in the 25th minute, a header by Hal Robson-Kanu well wide of the left post.
El Tri was wide or high, most notably a left-footed shot by Giovani Dos Santos from the middle of the penalty area that skipped just outside the right post in the 35th.
It finally went ahead to the delight of the partisan crowd of 35,518 when Dos Santos played a ball wide to Meza, who sent a cross to the back post where De Nigris headed it just inside the left upright.
Welsh goalkeeper Jason Brown thwarted two of Mexico's best chances in the second half, going low to block Meza in the 52nd and a reaction save to block Dos Santos' header from inside the six-yard box in the 55th.
De Nigris added a second goal when Andrade hit a low ball into the goal box, where the Monterrey forward raced in and deflected it past Brown off his chest.
Despite his performance, De la Torre was not committing to using De Nigris in the upcoming friendlies or qualifiers.
"Being part of the starting lineup, you always have to play well," he said. "There is no security. It's based your work on the field, day in and day out.
Given the circumstances, we always look for the team to do well. Nobody is assured of the starting lineup."
De La Torre used five of his six substitutions, including inserting Jesus Molina in the after Zavala appeared to go down with an injury. Zavala was able to walk off the field under his own power.
Jamaica 0, Panama 1
In Kingston, Jamaica, Luis Renteria converted off a corner kick in the 16th minute to give "Los Canaleros" their first win in three matches.
The two will face off again in Panama City on Friday before their first qualifiers: Panama against Honduras, and Jamaica versus Guatemala.
The loss ended a five-game unbeaten streak for Jamaica.

A Mom Blog Social Network
Okay, as much as I hate to admit this, once again I've been sucked in to watching "The Bachelor".
Sean Lowe-Bachelor #876 (or it least it feels like that!)
Every season it's the same: I see the previews on television for weeks before the premiere and I say that I'm not going to watch it and I rattle off reasons why:
It's a waste of time. (Oh, all the other things I could be doing during this time slot!)
I hate that they keep recycling contestants who didn't "find love" the first time around. (Yeah, Brad, Emily, Kasie B and whoever else, I'm talking to you!)
I hate that the girls act like horny, desperate, man-crazed, idiots with no class. (Don't they care that their parents are going to watch the show?)
I hate that the contestants must be screened by some sexist pig. (Most real-life girls don't look like that in bikinis, guys!)
I hate when the girls say, "Oh, so-and-so took me on an amazing date today!" (No. He. Didn't. In real life you will never, ever be picked up in a helicopter.)
One out of five adults has an STD. (STAY OUT OF THE HOT TUB!)
But then the Monday night premiere roles around and I say, "I'm just going to watch the ladies get out of the limo. I want to see their dresses and watch how many crazies there are!" (Good Lord, there are always so many!) Then, before I even realize it, two hours of my life is gone and I can't wait for the following Monday night to roll around so I can watch the drama unfold!
It's also immense fun to text your girlfriends during the show to see what they are thinking. It's common to get texts that say things like: "Skank", "Psychooooooo!", "What the hell is she wearing?","He looks like a sloppy kisser.", and my personal favorite text from Ben Flajnik's season:
"Is it just me of does he look like the Geico Caveman?"
Will the real Ben Flajnik please stand up?
The thing about being a closet Bachelor fan is that the show never really disappoints me because I don't go into it with high expectations. It's just plain fun to sit back and watch people do and say things that no one in my inner circle of friends would ever have the balls to say. For instance, when was the last time you pulled a tie out of your cleavage and asked a guy you were meeting for the first time if he's read, "5o Shades of Grey'?
Not the best way to land a man, ladies.
Remember this girl? She did exactly that while I sat staring at the television screen slack-jawed and horrified. Who does that kind of stuff? Not me, and I seriously bet you don't either.
I can't wait for next Monday!

"If you come to me respectfully with honest questions and disagreements"
Mr. Technique, I feel that you have an amazing flow and a level of political consciousness that exceeds most rappers. However, I disagree with your stance on homosexuals, as evidenced by your lyrics:
"Immortal Technique incinerate degenerate fags / Burn Trent Lott wrapped in his Confederate flag"
How do you square the fact that you have made a career on a condemnation of capitalism whilst allowing your record to be priced according to the free market? Or that you constantly carry the banner for civil rights advances while denigrating homosexuals in your lyrics?
And more importantly, why did the author not ask any of these questions?
I look forward to your response!

The bun-sellers or cake-makers were in nothing inclinable to their request; but, which was worse, did injure them most outrageously, called them prattling gabblers, lickorous gluttons, freckled bittors, mangy rascals, shite-a-bed scoundrels, drunken roysters, sly knaves, drowsy loiterers, slapsauce fellows, slabberdegullion druggels, lubberly louts, cozening foxes, ruffian rogues, paltry customers, sycophant-varlets, drawlatch hoydens, flouting milksops, jeering companions, staring clowns, forlorn snakes, ninny lobcocks, scurvy sneaksbies, fondling fops, base loons, saucy coxcombs, idle lusks, scoffing braggarts, noddy meacocks, blockish grutnols, doddipol-joltheads, jobbernol goosecaps, foolish loggerheads, flutch calf-lollies, grouthead gnat-snappers, lob-dotterels, gaping changelings, codshead loobies, woodcock slangams, ninny-hammer flycatchers, noddypeak simpletons, turdy gut, shitten shepherds, and other suchlike defamatory epithets; saying further, that it was not for them to eat of these dainty cakes, but might very well content themselves with the coarse unranged bread, or to eat of the great brown household loaf.
You don't hear invective like that any more, and few of us would understand it if we did. There's enough material there for a year of Weird Words, but I've picked out slabberdegullion (a rare spelling of slubberdegullion), a word which nobody hearing it could possibly consider a compliment. There are examples of it on record from the seventeenth century down to the early twentieth but it appears now only as a deliberate archaism.
The experts disagree about where it came from. The first part is clearly English slobber, but the rest is less certain. It might be cullion, an old word for a testicle (it's related to French couillon and Spanish cojones), which by the sixteenth century was a term of contempt for a man. It might instead conceivably be linked to the Scots dialect gullion for a quagmire or a pool of mud containing semi-liquid decayed vegetable matter, but that's only recorded rather later.

Best anti virus for Windows 7
by admin on Mar.26, 2011, under Case Studies
When it comes to antivirus software for PC's, everyone wants to know which software outperforms which. There are so many anti virus programs out there nowadays that it's hard to keep track of them all. The main question people ask themselves is which anti virus software to buy? Why not buy the best one?
What is the best anti virus for Windows 7?
This is a difficult question to answer because there are many variables that go hand-in-hand with it. A state of the art anti virus system is only as powerful as the computer it is running on. What does this mean?
If you have a heavy duty antivirus program, it will require a lot of power from your PC. If your machine is very slow and sluggish, the software won't have enough power to run as it should. This will cause a lot of problems.
Cheap doesn't always mean bad
Just because antivirus software is inexpensive, doesn't mean it is bad. Some of the best anti virus for Windows 7 are very affordable. Here is our list of best anti virus software for Windows 7:
- Norton Internet Security
- Norton 360
- Kaspersky
- Panda

In honor of Barbara Spetz Dean, September 29th 1942- October 25, 2003
In 2003, I wrote my Master's Thesis entitled, "Journey to Recovering My Polish Indigenous Mind." I was/am on a quest to recover the ancient healing traditions of my Slavic ancestors. A big part of my writing was on Baba Yaga, the ancient witch/hag/ goddess from Eastern & Central Europe. She is most known as a fairy-tale character. Usually she is portrayed as a mean witch who chases children and tries to eat them. However, I suspected there must be more to her. As an indigenous scientist, I was trained to look into fairy tales and myths to uncover the indigenous remnants of my Slavic pre-Christian culture. I was drawn to Baba Yaga because I first saw her image as flying in a mortar & pestle. Intuitively, I thought, she must be an herbalist.
Here is an excerpt from my thesis:
The stories that kept drawing me in, time after time, were the stories about Baba Yaga. The ancient tales of Baba Yaga (Jezi Baba in the Polish language) are common throughout the Slavic world.[1] Baba Yaga is a fierce old crone who lives in the deepest, darkest part of the woods. She has long greasy hair and a big pointed nose. In older times she was described as a good witch, later she was personified more often as cruel and menacing.
Baba Yaga is clearly a spirit of ancient power and wisdom. She is an herbalist, a healer, and she has the power to both give and destroy life. She is the crone, the aspect of the goddess that presides over the realm of death and rebirth. Maria Gimbutas, feminist archeologist and scholar describes Baba Yaga as the "Killer-Regeneratrix" and the "Goddess of Death and Regeneration".[1] The ancient Slavs revered Baba Yaga, who was central to their spiritual universe. However, with the onslaught of Christianity, Baba Yaga had been "degraded to a witch."[2] Gimbutas writes: "(Baba Yaga) is but a loathsome caricature thanks to the enormous energies spent by the missionaries and inquisitors to fight this powerful Goddess ".[3]
(You can download my thesis from my website: ancestralapothecary.com, on the publications page.)
Back in 2003, when writing about Baba
Yaga, she transformed for me from a fairy-tale character into a very real Spirit. Not only was I drawn to her, but so was my
Polish-American friend Barbara Dean. Barbara traveled with me to
At the Circle of Ancestor's presentation on October 5th, Baba Yaga again made an appearance. She brought to this presentation, by "the Baba Yaga Express" a Polish-American woman whom I had met earlier THAT DAY at a psiber dream conference. This woman, Beverly, happened to send me an email that commented on a dream I had posted. I noticed her last name and asked if she was Polish. I told her that, coincidentally, I was preparing to do a presentation on Polish/Slavic healing ways and in Baba Yaga in particular.
Beverly responded in amazement… she was 100% Polish and her whole life had been dreaming of witches…(http://www.durso.org/beverly /Autobiography-Paper.html)... But never until that moment did she make the connection of her dreams to Baba Yaga.
Since Beverly and I met at a Psiberdream conference (http://asdreams.org ), suspect that Baba Yaga's powers may also extend into the realm of dreams. Her domains are already healing, death, rebirth, sacred (hallucinogenic) plants….. so it makes sense that dreams would be there as well. I will continue my Baba Yaga Dream Research Project and let you all know what I discover. If your ancestors are from Eastern & Central Europe and you have dreams or stories relating to Baba Yaga, please let me know: firstname.lastname@example.com.
