Effective Cost of Brain Drain
In developing countries, remittances and intra-family private transfers sent by household members who migrate to more developed countries constitute a fundamental source of income and capital accumulation. Then, it is important to understand the motives of migrants who decide to remit back to their families. Drawing on the theory of labor migration under asymmetric information, we show that low-skilled workers are expected to provide higher amounts of remittances when remittances are motivated by self-interest. This transfer paradox is explained as follows. Since low skilled workers are likely to return home when informational symmetry is restored, the optimal remittance level is a decreasing function of the migrant's skill level since remittances may be seen as an implicit insurance, whose benefits are received only under migration return.Download Info

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The East Providence police have arrested the woman they suspect of robbing the Columbus Credit Union around noon Tuesday while her three-year-old was outside in the truck she later took off in.
The woman wore a wig and Halloween mask and told the teller she had an explosive device, according to Capt. Richard Frazier.
Police, who had leads about the robber, stopped her while she was driving on Willett Street three hours later, Frazier said. Her son was in the truck. Police recovered a portion of the money that was stolen and are continuing their investigation, Frazier said.
Police charged Jennefer Gomes, 34, of 137 Oak Crest Dr., East Providence, with first degree bank robbery. She was expected to be arraigned later on Wednesday.

Book Description:Drawing on the example set by feminists, this textbook explores the problems of pursuing lesbian and gay political agendas within the present structure of democracy. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author connects the analysis of lesbian and gay identities in sociology and cultural studies with the analysis of democracy in political theory. This paves the way for a consideration of the implications of sociological theories of sexuality for democratic theory and practice. Engaging with queer theory, the dominant perspective in the area of sexual identity and politics, the author offers a critique of many of the theorists - including Judith Butler and Diana Fuss - and directions within this field. This approach offers a broad focus on the issues of citizenship and legal, social and political policies with which queer theorists are involved. Up to date with current debates, this book reflects the need to return from an inaccessible level of abstract theory. It grounds ideas about sexuali

Gemma Ward Comes Back with a Cover by POPSUGAR Fashion News 10/22/08 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 >> Gemma Ward hasn't been a presence on the runways since the Spring 2008 season a year ago, but she's followed through with her no-retirement promise. It's no Vogue Italia of yesteryear, but she appears on the cover and inside the October 2008 issue of Spanish Marie Claire wearing Burberry Fall 2008.

Quick Clicks> Pruitt Igoe Today, Ciclovia Strategies, Brooklyn Drama, and Legos!
Pruitt Overgrown. Thirty three acres in the middle of St. Louis are now densely overgrown with forest, but the site was once home to the infamous Pruitt Igoe homes. Preservation Research Office led a tour of the site last week and took some great photos on the way to a screening of the Pruitt-Igoe Myth documentary.
Ciclovia Transformations. While LA shut down city streets over the weekend for its first CicLAvia of 2011, Project for Public Spaces imagines how such car-free events can invite new thinking about the use of public space in cities across the world.
Tobacco Troubles. On Friday, the latest round of drama surrounding Brooklyn's Tobacco Warehouse played out, and it wasn't the latest performance by the indie theater troupe of St. Ann's Warehouse, who plans to renovate the abandoned building. A judge has issued an injunction against developing the property on grounds that a public hearing wasn't conducted. Brownstoner and the Brooklyn Paper have the latest.
Lego Love. The Overhead Wire spotted a lego train with an actual operating sliding door. OW says it best: "I like legos, I like trains, and I like them together." In other Lego news, Curbed found the world's tallest Lego tower in Sao Paulo, Brazil standing 102 feet high, and Unbeige reports that Mies' Farnsworth House is the newest architectural icon to become a Lego set.
Studio Gang to Reimagine Stalled Lexington Tower
Studio Gang has been hired to reimagine a stalled mixed-use high-rise in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Having languishing through the recession and without financing, the development called CentrePointe may now gain momentum thanks to the fresh eye of the Chicago-based firm responsible for the much-praised Aqua Tower. Jeanne Gang, principal, told AN her office will be preparing several concept plans over the next six weeks demonstrating new design strategies that could guide the future project and attract new tenants and financing.
Unveiled> Ryerson University Student Learning Centre
Toronto's Ryerson University announced plans this week for a bold Student Learning Center designed by Oslo-based Snøhetta and Zeidler Partnership Architects of Toronto.

Quick Clicks> Heckling Hadid, HL23 Highlight, Gimme Shelter, and the Ennis House Blues
Heckling Hadid. The New York Times reports that the city council in Elk Grove, California is reconsidering its Bilbao moment. Once upon a time before the recession, the community hoped a community center designed by Zaha Hadid would bring acclaim to the suburban city. Now as plans are being reconsidered, the council only sees a "squid" or an "animal from another planet."
LA on HL. Usually found prowling around the west coast, Christopher Hawthorne, architecture critic for the LA Times, has found his way to New York and takes a look at HL23, that condo tower perched above Manhattaned beloved High Line by LA architect Neil Denari.
Gimme (Smartly Planned) Shelter. It turns out that when Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell isn't rocking out, he's pondering smart growth. Smart Planet relays a recent event at the National Press Club where Leavell and co-author J. Marshall Craig talk transportation, sustainability, and community growth.
Ennis House Blues. Curbed reports that Frank Lloyd Wright's 1924 Ennis House in LA just can't seem to find a buyer since it was put on the market in 2009. Originally listed at $15 million, the price has steadily dropped to its current $5.9 mil.
Happy Birthday, Mies!
125 years ago this past Sunday, a newborn Ludwig Mies van der Rohe may have been dreaming up his first glass box, but 125 years later, a party in one of his most famous boxes hopes to rekindle the spirit of the famous architect. The Mies van der Rohe Society will gather in a couple hours in Crown Hall on the campus of the Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology for an evening of architecture, history, and, of course, cocktails.
If you can't make the party, you can celebrate with a rather, well, unique tribute to the architect after the jump.
Quick Clicks> Cabrini Lights Up, Earth Powers Down, Calming Queens, and Starchitect Houses
Cabrini Green Kablooey. This Wednesday, the last high rise tower at Chicago's Cabrini Green site will be demolished, marking the end of the famous housing project. Polis reminds us that artist Jan Tichy and social worker Efrat Appel plan to mark the occasion with an art installation. Project Cabrini Green translates 134 poems into light and will begin display at 7:00pm tonight. (Also catch a live internet feed here.)
Earth Hour. This past weekend, people, companies, and cities all over the globe celebrated Earth Hour by switching off the lights to spotlight issues of energy consumption. The Boston Globe's Big Picture is running a photo essay of some dramatic skylines with and without lights.
Calming Queens. StreetsBlog brings news of New York's latest traffic calming measure proposed for 48th Avenue and 44th Drive in Queens. The block shown above in Long Island City would initially be painted for affordability and eventually transformed into a greenway.
Cribs. Inspired by Philip Johnson's Glass House, Curbed goes in search of the homes of famous architects. Represented in the list are Alvar Aalto, Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, and Robert A.M. Stern.
Quick Clicks> Vital Arts, Freeway Down, Arguing Art, and Metro Card Art
District Review. Blair Kamin reports on the Dallas Arts District – the nation's largest contiguous urban arts district – and finds the architecture inspiring but the street life a bore. In an area where Pritzker-winning architecture abounds, can a new park and residential development create urban vitality?
Freeway Down. NPR reports on the mainstreaming of highway teardowns across the country. With skyrocketing infrastructure costs, many cities find removing a mega-road is more affordable while preserving neighborhood character and spurring new business.
Public Art Confidential. WNYC takes a look at the story of public art in New York and the controversy that can follow as times and values change. Dueling sides argue the benefits of provoking thought on difficult subjects versus giving artwork an appropriate stage to do so. Among the eight most contested statues in New York is the long-toppled King George III once located in Bowling Green.
Multi-Use Metro Cards. Subway Art Blog has a pair of recent galleries showing how you can reuse your old Metro Cards, either by adding to your wardrobe or creating collage artwork.
Quick Clicks> Coops, Help Japan, Sidewalk Dining, and Rooftops
Coop Moderne. Urban agriculture is all the rage lately, and with the backyard gardens come the chickens. Jetson Green offers a few examples of high-design chicken coops made of reclaimed materials by Studio H, a design-build program for high-school students in North Carolina.
Aid. Architecture for Humanity is working on plans to provide relief to victims of the Sendai earthquake and tsunami. The post-disaster reconstruction group is asking for donations now to they can build later. If you would like to support Japan more immediately, the Japanese Red Cross Society is also a good choice.
Al Fresco Forward. As the weather begins to warm, the New York DOT has announced that it's pop-up cafe program is moving forward. Modeled after pop-up sidewalk cafes in San Francisco and other cities, New York tried out its first model in the Financial District last year. The planter-lined sidewalk extensions project six feet into the street and are paid for by sponsoring businesses. The Post has the list of DOT-approved restaurants in Soho, the Village, and elsewhere.
Rooftop Remix. Web Urbanist put together a collection modern rooftop additions from around the world by the likes of MVRDV, Coop Himmelb(l)au, and others. As Web Urbanist points out, the juxtapositions of the additions against their host structures is quite striking. (Via Planetizen.)

Up, Up & Away. My Modern Met has a photo set from National Geographic's recreation of the Pixar movie Up. With the help of 300 colorful weather balloons, a team of engineers and pilots sent a 16′ square house skyward in LA, setting a world record in the process. (Via Curbed.)
Archi-Ethics. Mark Lamster is leading this week's Glass House Conversation. He's discussing the ethics of client selection: "How do we balance commercial imperatives with a desire for a moral practice?"

[–]Thiso 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
looks very nice. One problem though: I went to the settings page, entered my pebble serial number, but the settings were not updated on the pebble. E.g. my temperature still occurs in F, while my settings are to C.
[–]zzzzzane 1 point2 points3 points 6 months ago
I have the same issue.
If you look at the setting page "The httPebble iOS app strips off the 12th character, and the Android version only sends the final six characters of the serial number. Hopefully your serial number is unique in our database."
I'm assuming someone else has a similar serial number as mine and therefore my settings aren't taking.

Great !!!! Also can have both installed.

It is pretty awesome and replaced Chuck weather for me. I am curious if it would be better inverted, it is a little dark.
[–]shoshtrvls 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago
I'm keeping both this and chunk on my watch - chunk is more readable for me at a glance, but a single press of a button gets me to fair forecast and I have all the addition info I want. Again, Matt, thanks much for this.
Agreed, while it is the best for forcasts it is a little busy. I kept futura weather as a second always on weather face because of the other features like alert on disconnect

As much as U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., has complained about the stimulus package — calling it "a mountain of new debt without incentives for job creation" — his district is far and away the big winner in Tennessee.
In stimulus projects alone, the 3rd District apparently has received 20 percent of the state's $5.2 billion, and Anderson County, home of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is Tennessee's king of stimulus. Its $842 million is the state's single largest award.
Oak Ridge officials say the money to clean up the Manhattan Project-era buildings and other Oak Ridge projects will create about 1,500 jobs over the next two years.
The figures have State Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forester questioning the political motives of Rep. Wamp, who in January announced his candidacy for governor in the 2010 election.
"It seems almost slightly hypocritical to be so opposed and yet having worked to see those federal dollars come to the 3rd District," Mr. Forester said last week. "I wonder how the Tennessee residents in the 3rd Congressional District feel about the fact that it has provided working men and women with jobs they would not otherwise have."
Rep. Wamp, who voted against the American Recovery and Reimbursement Act when Congress passed it in February, said Friday that his district is very deserving of the help. He also said it was the energy allocations of the stimulus bill that he has said were the only "15 percent" that would stimulate the economy in the right way.
He voted against the bill, he said, because he felt the plan was rushed through without proper scrutiny and debate, and because it levied too much debt onto the nation.
Putting the long-term interest of the country over the short-term interests of his district was not easy, but necessary, he said.
"Overall for the country, for the long-term benefit, it was not the right thing to do," he said.
Not even the silver lining of Oak Ridge's award has all been positive, he added.
Because of the awards for the cleanup, Oak Ridge's annual allocation was reduced in the 2010 budget.
"Because there's a short-term benefit, it lowers their baseline for future funding, giving them more instability." Rep. Wamp said.

Why would anyone be surprised that Zach Wamp is an opportunist who talks from both sides of his mouth.

by Curt Nickisch
Feb 27, 2013 (Morning Edition / WBUR) — Colleges and universities are bracing for steep spending reductions in student aid and research funding due to the looming sequestration process. Financial aid offices are scrambling to offset the drop. University researchers say they're already seeing delays in federal grant making.

Friday, July 9, 2010 LISTENING POST
CD REVIEWDJ Towa Tei "Motivation H"By BLAIR McBRIDE
"Motivation H" compiled by DJ Towa Tei is the latest addition to this local DJ's long, international career in dance music. This CD is the eighth in his Motivation series — this one coinciding with the swanky Hotel H parties he began last summer at Fai Aoyama in Tokyo. But no matter the venue Towa Tei's selections are aimed at the dance floor. Listeners accustomed to clubbing will mentally drift to that environment as Towa Tei selects the bass, rhythm and melodies that form the highs and lows of all-night partying. At the same time he chooses broadly from electro, house and dancehall to satisfy those who just want to hear good music. His own "Milky Way" track begins the CD with uplifting, dreamy female vocals over a downtempo, electro beat. He has a distinct ear for tracks with soulful highs and gritty lows. The 2 Bears' "Mercy Time" exemplifies that with moody, pitch-shifted male vocals and bouncing drum sounds. Building up to the CD's peak is Pepe Bradock's infectious minimal-house thumper "Path of Most Resistance." It perfectly evokes that feeling you get at 4 a.m. after dancing in a dark club all night and start searching for a warm emotional boost in your beats. The climax hits with a percussive electro-house remix of Circles 2009's Mustafa featuring Natalia. The shuffling beat and cascading drums are nearly trance-inducing, and Natalia's sweet voice adds a soulful touch to this gem. Although this compilation is not particularly forward-looking, its strength is in its diversity and groove. Towa Tei effectively takes the mood up and down, while making listeners want to rush for the dance floor.

When it comes to editing and printing photos, the A826 offers a wealth of options. When you zoom in on a particular picture, your top-level options are Edit and Get Creative. Edit lets you crop, reduce red-eye and adjust the brightness.
The crop feature lets you zoom in and out, rotate the cropped area between portrait and landscape modes, and use the stylus to drag the crop box around the image, so you get just the part you want. The edits that you make to the image aren't saved to the original file on the memory card, which is good in that you can't accidentally change the file, but having the option to would be nice.
Get Creative offers a lot of fun options, such as adding frames and captions, making album pages, drawing on the images, colour effects and clip art. The frames span a range of themes and colours, but you can't customise them.
The captions are more flexible. Choosing captions calls up a virtual keyboard. Using the stylus, you can tap out a caption, choose among five fonts and six colours, and resize, rotate and change the placement of the text on the image.
Draw lets you add your own creative touch to the image by drawing directly on the screen with the stylus. As it turns out, adding moustaches never gets old. The clip art option lets you drop in one of HP's preset images. You can resize them and even drop in more than one piece of clip art.
The album option is perhaps the most frustrating. It sounds good in theory, but your options are limited. You can start by selecting an album theme and layout and then populating the open spaces on the layouts, or you can select all the photos you want to use and then designate how many pages you want produced.
At this point, the software limits the number of shots on a single page and the layout. You can reshuffle the images, though not manually -- the software simply rotates the images through the available spaces. You can't drag and drop, which would make the process a bit easier and quicker.
Finally, you can make index prints with 24 images per 152 by 102mm sheet -- and file names -- as a reference or you can create specialty printing projects such as panoramic prints, photo stickers, passport photos and CD/DVD tattoos, assuming you have the proper paper, of course.

Top 10 NBA Surprises in the 2009-2010 Season, So Far
By S. Wentworth Duncanson ,
The great thing about sports is the unpredictability. Every year, there are players and teams who disappoint, overachieve, underachieve, crumble and teams who grow and mature over time.
The biggest surprise to me was Gilbert Arenas' stupidity. It's not even worth putting him up there.
When thinking of this season's other surprises I think of Kevin Garnett's body finally breaking down after years of him being a model of durability. I think of Stephon Marbury signing to play in the Chinese basketball league today, a year after making 22 million for nothing. Blake Griffin injuring himself after throwing down a power dunk. Greg Oden and Michael Redd breaking down, AGAIN.
Things happen over the course of an 82-game season. As we approach mid-season, these are the top 10 surprises in the league. At the year's end, some may not be there, as problems might arise or might be corrected. That's the beauty of it, we won't know until the end. Lets see who gets it right and who screws it up.
Brandon Jennings has taken the league by storm. Opting to play overseas instead of going to college to satisfy David Sterns age limit was a huge gamble. The loss of exposure alone could have decimated his career.
He played in Italy and was a lower level role player. He wasn't even a star, which made me skeptical about whether or not his game was NBA ready.
However, that experience made him hungrier and more determined. So many athletes out of college come out with a sense of entitlement and arrogance. It's usually due to the fact they've had people kissing they're ass for years.
In his first pro game, Jennings almost had a triple double. In his 10th game, he had a double nickel (55 points), which is pretty unheard of.
As the season progressed, I think his body started to wear down. His shooting percentages have plummeted, and Tyreke Evans has taken his spot as rookie of the year. But with the 10th pick, Milwaukee did well, getting a point guard with a humble attitude from tasting the other end of the spectrum in Italy, where he wasn't in the spotlight.
That experience alone was a reality check that will always drive him to work hard and stay grounded. That is exactly the type of point guard you want to run your team.
I started writing this at the beginning of the year. In my preseason predictions, I picked San Antonio to win the West over the heavily-favored Lakers, as well as the NBA title.
They started out slow, but I never could write them off because that has always been San Antonio's M.O. They seem to be in cruise control for most of the year, and then put the pedal to the metal around the race to the playoffs.
Also, they had to incorporate new pieces in. Richard Jefferson has been a great fit. Antonio McDyess has been a complete disaster. I thought he would be the first official low post player Tim Duncan played with since David Robinson.
However, DeJuan Blair has filled that spot in a stunning fashion. The team is finally starting to gel. At the end of the year, we might laugh at them being on this list.
Duncan has got his usual, boring, mediocre 20 and 10. Were so used to him doing that regularly that we don't expect any less. Looks like another 50-plus win season.
After years and years of futility and being perennial doormats, the Atlanta Hawks are finally a force to be reckoned with consistantly.
In the 90s, they might have a good year or two, and then fall back to their old ways. The day they acquired Joe Johnson was the day the face and attitude of the franchise changed. They drafted the right players with Josh Smith, Al Horford and even Marvin Williams. All the pieces fit perfectly.
With a bona fide point guard in Mike Bibby, they finally have an experienced driver to control this train that's going to steamroll the East. All they need is some more playoff experience to really make a run at that trophy.
The thing that I've noticed this year is that the Hawks are finally taking THEMSELVES seriously. It's no longer an accomplishment to just make the playoffs or to have a winning season. They're ready to take that next step.
With the addition of Jamal Crawford, they have a bench player to add more firepower. He is having his best season as a pro, not only leading the league in fourth quarter minutes, but for the first time in his career, he's shooting a decent percentage. He's finally receiving the recognition he was denied for many years, since this is the first winning team he's played for in 10 years.
If their nucleus of young players continues to develop and grow, one day we'll mention the Hawks along with the Celtics and Lakers as possible favorites to win the title. Only time will tell.
Lets just hope nobody brings guns to the locker room. Okay, that was a cheap shot, but I couldn't resist.
I watched Joakim Noah pass up the NBA draft a few years ago—where he would have been a top-three pick— and elected to stay in college another year. It won him a second national championship, but he slipped all the way to the ninth pick. His energy and size carried him through college. His terrible jumper was what I thought would hold him back.
His outspokenness got him in trouble, but it validated his passion for the game. His jumper hasn't improved much, but he improved his rebounding so dramatically that he has become a vital piece to Chicago and their push for improvement.
While I never think he'll be an all star, he is the prototypical role player who prides himself on dirty work, defense and rebounding. It's a role that few players embrace and perfect, and what every team wants and need.
Noah looks like he'll have a long and productive career. Not everyone can be Kobe. Some players just know how to maximize their strength and work with the talent they were given. Good job Joakim, now just cut that crap off your head.
The story of the summer was whether Allen Iverson would be able to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to improvement. The playoffs were really a stretch. Also pairing him with perennial locker room destroyer Zach Randolph could have been a disaster of monumental proportions. After Iverson refused to accept a lesser role, he left, and it actually helped Memphis.
Oddly, Memphis' chemistry seems to be great and improving with every game. Then again, that's the effect winning has.
Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo improve daily and seem to fit in well with their big men. Randolph is having the best season of his career, with almost a lock to receive his first All-Star nod, finally playing within the team concept on a winning team.
Marc Gasol continues to develop. When he came into the league, some scouts said he had the talent to be better than his brother, Pau. It sounded stupid at the time, but it doesn't seem to far fetched. Look at his body now compared to the Olympics in 2008. It shows he has the work ethic and dedication to improve. Also, Mike Conley doesn't seem like the bust I labeled him as this past season.
Lets not forget that last year's second pick, Hasheem Thabeet, really hasn't played too much of a role. If they could get him involved, they would have three good big men, a rarity in this league.
Lionel Hollins is getting them to play together. If he could get them to improve, they might be a playoff contender. Unfortunately, in the West, a team could win 45-50 games and not get in. Lets see what happens. The fact that I'm talking about them at all makes their season a success.
The day the Sonics—now the Thunder—fired that idiot coach PJ Carlesimo, was the day where the rebuilding began.
With Kevin Durant starting at two guard his entire rookie season, Scott Brooks finally made the obvious change and put him at small forward. Ever since, Durant's game has skyrocketed. I put him alongside Brandon Roy as a future MVP ready to make that jump to being an elite superstar, along with Lebron, Melo, Wade and Kobe. Fact is he would be my second choice for MVP this season if OKC had a better record.
This is another team who put the right pieces in place. Jeff Green, Nick Collison and Durant on their frontline continue to grow, and their chemistry continues to improve. Russell Westbrook's athletic talent alone pushes the team to improve.
I think Tyson Chandler would have been an excellent fit had that trade had went through. Again, I doubt they'll make the playoffs since the West is stacked with 50-win teams, but they're moving rapidly in the right direction. Brooks is my coach of the year, getting the best out of these players. All they need is a good bench player and a veteran or two.
Even a Malik Rose-type player would be sufficient—a leader in the locker room and off the court, who could teach these young guns how to be professional. So far, so good.
This team is in total disarray. After a playoff appearance a few years ago, fans expected improvement and great things from this up and coming team with loads of young talent. However, no improvement has been made.
A few years ago, Andre Iguodala seemed primed for superstardom, an all star in the making. He reminds me of another player, Emeka Okafor, who had the talent, but not the desire to improve. Maybe he does, but I surely don't see it. No improvement has been made with this team, skill-wise nor chemistry-wise.
Also, after the acquisition of Elton Brand, the team has totally regressed. Brand never was the fastest guy on the court, and Philly was never a team who thrived in the post. The team is still struggling to find an identity or style of play, and they look terrible doing so.
Part of it is karma. Brand should have kept his ass with the Clippers where he fit, before he weaseled his way out. All their players from Thaddeus Young to Lou Williams, totally don't fit with Brand's style of play. Hardly anyone does. Now the most interesting thing in Philly is Allen Iverson coming back with his tail between his legs after they got rid of him.
Pretty damn sad.
Throughout his college career, I always was skeptical of Lawson's skills translating into an effective NBA game. I thought his lack of size, as well as his mediocre outside game, would ultimately hurt him on the pro level. Looking back at UNC's track record, I should have never had a doubt. So many players who I felt would either flop in the league or just be mediocre wound up being great professionals.
He was drafted by Denver, which is the perfect situation for him. He gets to play on a title contender with a future MVP in Melo, and a point guard known for his leadership and clutch performances in Chauncey Billups. He gets to practice against and learn from one of the best. Obviously, the experience has lifted his game to the next level.
His game has improved since his North Carolina days, He's a vital role player on a winning team. His shooting, decision making and overall game has skyrocketed. Once Billups leaves or retires, he'll have the skills, knowledge and experience to step in and lead an NBA team.
As long as he keeps working, he could get there. So many good point guards weren't drafted high, but developed over the years—from Rajon Rondo to Steve Nash. Lets see if he catapults himself into the elite class of point guards.
At last year's draft, I certainly was a non-believer as to how much game Danilo Gallinarid had. It was typical Mike D'antoni getting a player from Italy, where he is so revered and famous. A prototypical player to fit into his Euro-speedball offense: soft and with extreme defensive shortcomings.
I've seen it too many times where a foreign big man is drafted with the expectations of being the next Dirk Nowitzki. Those expectations are never fulfilled.
However, this year, his game is starting to support why the Knicks drafted him in the first place. His jumper is straight cash, he has unlimited range, and his ball handling skills and court vision remind me so much of Lamar Odom. If he improves his post game and rebounding, he has a bright future.
Also, pairing him with David Lee on the frontline for next year, would be a great look to entice one of those big-name free agents the Knicks so desperately covet.
The talent is there for this 21-year-old. Is the passion and desire to improve there? Will he embrace or disgrace the fan base, playing on the biggest stage in the world? So far, so good, but there's still a ways to go. At least he's moving in the right direction. Lets hope he stays on track.
Last year's run to the Finals was a glimpse of things to come. Expectations are sky high. When Hedo Turkoglu bolted to Toronto, they replaced him with Vince Carter, a perennial All Star and bona fide scoring two guard, which was something they were missing last year.
However, all Vince has done is make a problem that the Magic had last year 10 times worse. What did I say throughout the playoffs last year. DWIGHT HOWARD NEEDS TO GET THE DAMN BALL. Its 10 times worse now.
When I think about it, when has Vince played with a real all star, or should I say a scoring all star? He's always had to be the focal point of the offense' As the years went on, we saw less of those hard drives and finishes that made him a household name and more ridiculous fadeaways.
Now, those shots are hurting his teammates. All of his teammates' shot attempts are down. Howard averages nine shot attempts. He averages more rebounds. Rashard Lewis' shots are down. Carter's hurting all of his teammates play, which is exactly what a real superstar doesn't do.
Not to mention that he's shooting 38 percent FG and 30 percent in threes. It certainly doesn't make a case for him shooting the ball more than anyone else. The other players who have been there for years. Vince better learn how to fit in better, or he'll be out of there.
They could have kept Courtney Lee, who just wanted to be one of the guys instead of "the guy." Sometimes less is more.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees 04/22/2014, at Fenway Park ... Find Tickets
Continued balance: The Patriots have the most balanced offense in the NFL, and when the Patriots feature a 100-yard rusher they almost always win. In four of the team's five wins this season, Stevan Ridley ran for at least 100 yards. It appears his success is just as important for the team as Tom Brady's. The Patriots have the fifth best rushing offense in the NFL. To break it down for you, running the ball well equals winning. It's that simple.

The Bernanke confirmation: incompetence, indifference and institutional inertia
Section 2a. Monetary Policy Objectives
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
[12 USC 225a. As added by act of November 16, 1977 (91 Stat. 1387) and amended by acts of October 27, 1978 (92 Stat. 1897); Aug. 23, 1988 (102 Stat. 1375); and Dec. 27, 2000 (114 Stat. 3028).]
In black and white, that's the mandate carried by the Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke. He, and others, may not like it, but until the law is changed, it is what it is.
And that's what makes this exchange so remarkable:
Brad Delong: Why haven't you adopted a 3% per year inflation target?
Ben Bernanke: The public's understanding of the Federal Reserve's commitment to price stability helps to anchor inflation expectations and enhances the effectiveness of monetary policy, thereby contributing to stability in both prices and economic activity. Indeed, the longer-run inflation expectations of households and businesses have remained very stable over recent years. The Federal Reserve has not followed the suggestion of some that it pursue a monetary policy strategy aimed at pushing up longer-run inflation expectations. In theory, such an approach could reduce real interest rates and so stimulate spending and output. However, that theoretical argument ignores the risk that such a policy could cause the public to lose confidence in the central bank's willingness to resist further upward shifts in inflation, and so undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy going forward. The anchoring of inflation expectations is a hard-won success that has been achieved over the course of three decades, and this stability cannot be taken for granted. Therefore, the Federal Reserve's policy actions as well as its communications have been aimed at keeping inflation expectations firmly anchored.
I can't imagine getting a more direct answer from the chairman than that. Mr Bernanke does not want to risk a de-anchoring of inflation expectations. He is willing to accept 10% or greater unemployment and the resulting economic and political fall-out in order to avoid that risk.
Personally, I think that Mr Bernanke owes us all a better explanation of why he has opted to place so much more emphasis on the price stability aspect of his mission than the full employment aspect. And, there should be a policy debate on this question, the resolution of which should inform the choice to reappoint (or not) Mr Bernanke.
Bernanke faces a defacto confirmation vote on Thursday. The Senate will vote on cloture to see if Bernanke's supporters can reach the 60 vote threshold required to send his nomination to the floor for an up or down vote.
Over the last several days, I've been asking Democratic and Republican Senators if they support his nomination and whether or not they think he's done enough to combat unemployment. Given that the narrow unemployment measure stands at above 10%, and the wider measure of unemployment that counts those working in part-time positions (or jobs for which they are drastically overqualified) stands at nearly 20%, the answers I received shocked me.
By far the worst answers came from Saxby Chambliss and Tom Coburn. Watch below and see Coburn tell me, "His mandate isn't unemployment, his mandate is stable monetary supply."
And here is audio of Chambliss telling me that Bernanke's priority is stabilizing the financial markets:
Chambliss: His focus is the financial world and can't be truly on the issue of unemployment. That's more of a policy issue for the White House to be focused on, rather than him. You know, if the financial community gets stronger then unemployments going to benefit.
In addition to Chambliss and Coburn, I spoke with several Democratic Senators. Senator Levin, from Michigan where unemployment has hit especially hard, told me that he's focused on other areas of the Fed Chair's domain, specifically Bernanke's future role in regulatory matters. When asked specifically if he is concerned that Bernanke isn't focusing enough on maintaining maximum employment, the Senator responded, "That's not been one of the questions I've focused on. I've focused on other issues."
I also spoke with Senator Begich while he was making his way over to the Capitol to cast a vote. When asked about unemployment, the Senator said he hadn't seen the Chairman's statement regarding prioritizing price control over unemployment and went on to say that he "hope[s] he will be open to new ideas."
Senator Gillibrand, up for re-election and facing a primary threat from Wall Street friend, Harold Ford, had this to say when asked if the Feds prioritization of inflation control over maintaining maximum employment was proper:
The entire audio is worth a listen (she goes on to say that she supports an audit of the Fed, amongst other things).
I also spoke with New Hampshire Democratic Senator Shaheen who is also undecided with regards to voting to confirm Bernanke. I told her about the Delong/Bernanke exchange and asked her if Bernanke's choice to accept higher levels of unemployment was acceptable to her. She told me, "Well, I don't think higher levels of unemployment are acceptable under any circumstances in this country and that's what… I've been working very hard, to address."
In addition to the conversations I had with those presented here, I spoke with at least a dozen others, both supporters and opponents. In the end, the impression I was left with is that we aren't well-served by the confirmation process. The Fed is an impersonal and opaque institution. We all know it is there, but not very many people understand its role in our economy. Senators are no exception to the general rule. These folks have been immersed in health care for months and months; the confirmation of Chairman Bernanke as a serious question never really entered their field of vision until just recently. Now that it has, it's too late to do the oversight and inquiry that the American public deserve and need.
Bernanke's cloture vote will take place tomorrow, the day after the State of the Union. We may hear a 10 second news blip about him clearing a "key procedural hurdle," and then the gas-bags will go back to analyzing the President's body language and the First Lady's taste in fashion. Thirty hours after cloture is invoked, sometime on Saturday afternoon, Bernanke will be confirmed. Bloggers will see the wire report and post a recommended diary or two that will scroll into the ether before America wakes up for work on Monday.
And on Monday, Ben Bernanke will continue studiously ignoring the increasing unemployment rate while ensuring the Wall Street "Masters of the Universe" remain insulated from their disastrous decision-making.

that is truly impressive reporting. You're doing an incredible job…a job the MSM has clearly failed at.Wouldn't it be nice if our elected leaders had a clue as to what goes on in the government? I mean people say that its too much info and too difficult to learn, but it seems that those of us outside government, who aren't even paid, manage to understand and keep tabs on all of these issue.
I'm an old friend and blogging partner of Ben's, so let me say that yours is a fantastic addition to the Banter Network. Welcome, and keep up the enlightening original reporting.

UPDATE: More news on the violence threats made on FaceBook for schools in Warren County
Update... The man who allegedly made the threat to commit violence against schools in Warren County, TN via FaceBook has been apprehended in England. According to WSMV, "Reece Elliott, 24, is accused of making the anonymous post Wednesday that he planned to "kill hopefully at least 200" students, according to a statement from police in Northumbria, England."
The threats were made on the FaceBook page Caitlyn Talley who died in an automobile accident last year in Warren County. Authorities believe that the person who posted the messages is hiding behind a different name. The culprit allegedly went as far as commenting on different posts on the FaceBook page suggesting that he had a bullet for the person making the comments about Talley. The T.B.I. helped with the investigation.
Multiple threats were made by the subject who called himself "Christos Fixed Gilarnes" on FaceBook. The account in question has been shutdown by the user.
Law enforcement beefed up security at every Warren County School Thursday and Friday. After news spread throughout the county of the threat, many parents kept their children at home. In fact, over 2,900 students failed to show up for school on Thursday. Director of Schools Bobby Cox said those students will not have the absence count against them.Digg | Del.icio.us | Google+ |

Do you find listings for chains such as Pizza Express, Strada and Zizzi's useful when looking for a restaurant on squaremeal.co.uk?
London's most comprehensive guide to restaurants and bars
There's no doubt that Mews is in a great location; tucked away in Lancashire Court, it's in a very attractive setting and feels far removed from the tourists and frenzy of Oxford Street. We visited the ground floor bar last Saturday, pleasantly busy for a late afternoon, a mix of young couples and larger groups. It's quite small and most of the larger seating areas were reserved but we found some seats and were served promptly. There's a good range of drinks and the prices are pretty average for this part of town; the cocktails are creative and there's a reasonable list of wine. While we couldn't fault the drinks, service or ambience, the bar does look a little tired (in the light of day) and could be a little smarter considering the prices they are charging. However, it's a good place to escape in if the area.

By Louis L'Amour. Colonel Utah Blaine, held captive by the army of the revolution, broke out of jail and headed north from Mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose — and stepped in just in time to save the life of a Texas rancher. The would-be executioners were the rancher's own men, looking to steal his land. Now Utah has a unique proposition: have the wealthy Texan play dead, introduce himself as the spread's new foreman, and take care of the outlaws one by one. The wage to fight another man's war? A hundred a month plus expenses. The cost of falling in love while he earns that wage? It wasn't exactly part of the original agreement, but Utah will soon find out — unless the bad guys get him first.
