Next foreign worry: MaliDecember 10,2012As far as military involvement is concerned, Iraq should soon take its place in Americas crowded rear-view mirror. Next year, provided President Obama keeps his promise, we may also be referring to Afghanistan in the past tense.
Yet, unfortunately, this is no time to relax. Judging by recent developments, Mali a sprawling, landlocked former French colony in western Africa is in line to become our nations next big foreign worry as terrorists, some of them associated with al-Qaida, destabilize the region.
To many in the west, Mali is best known as the country with a city named Timbuktu. Like Afghanistan before it, the very name of the place has always carried with it a certain sense of distance, mystery and even (to us) irrelevance. But the White House is surely keeping a close eye on the situation there as it seems to worsen day by day.
The United Nations and France have joined the United States in seeking a way to drive extremists out of Malis northern region and thus, they hope, prevent the creation of yet another operating base for jihadists who are determined to wage war against western values and institutions.
Malis transitional government, in office only since a military coup earlier this year, is described as weak and lacking legitimacy. Its army is poorly equipped and in a state of disarray. According to a British press report published Sunday, African and Western powers are already in disagreement over the timing and goals of a military strike to dislodge the jihadists.
Also unclear is whether regional African forces are strong enough to defeat well-armed militants in desert terrain the size of Texas without help on the ground from Western armies, the report in The Independent, a London newspaper, continued.
In other words, here we go again. The report declares that the momentum for a military intervention has surged in the region and among Western powers, as the radical Islamists and al-Qaida militants have deepened their grip over the north.
Although the experts predict that any military strike is months away, both Washington and Paris are active diplomatically in encouraging African nations to take the lead, just as they did most recently in Somalia, where Islamist radicals also had seized much of the country. In response, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has approved a 3,300-member force for northern Mali.
However, unlike Somalia, whose neighbors supported military action, not all of Malis neighbors would welcome intervention. Nigeria has its own Islamist threat from the notorious Boko Haram organization while Algeria fears a military strike could drive northern Malis militants back into Algeria, where Islamist extremists battled the government in the 1990s.
If the Western countries send troops, that will be fine, an extremist told a British journalist. We are prepared for war. If they dont come here, one day we will attack them. If we cannot do this in our time, our sons and the next generation will attack the West.
American experts see al-Qaida involvement in the Islamic terrorism networks North and West Africa affiliate, AQIM, and that it participated in the September attack on the United States mission in Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
An estimated 2,000 marchers in Malis capital last weekend urged the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution calling for a military campaign to push out the Islamists. Perhaps that makes sense, but as weve learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, military force carries no guarantee of the desired results.MORE IN CommentaryAccording to a recent report in The Times, there is dissent at the Fed: An increasingly vocal...

You probably have already seen some pictures of Liu Bolin before (or didn't even realize he was there) and now he's back with some more cool camouflage art! For those who missed our earlier posts, see here and here.
Born in 1973 in Shandong and a graduate of Shandong Art College and Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Arts, Liu Bolin became popular for his mastery at the art of camouflaging himself against virtually any background.
One single photo takes up to 10 hours to prepare – Liu uses himself as a blank canvas, and with a little help from an assistant, he paints his body to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him. The results are incredible – sometimes passers-by don't even realize he is around until he moves.

Headley, the reigning national champion in the 100 meter dash, had an outstanding weekend at the NEWMAC Championships. The senior won broke a pair of NEWMAC records as he won both the 100 and 200 meter races. By running 10.58 seconds in the 100, he first broke a record of 10.72 seconds that had been held by Lance Wagner of Wheaton since 2001. Headley then broke his own record in the 200, which he set just last year. He ran a time of 21.28 seconds two win this year, compared to the 21.78 he ran last season.
Hay has had nothing short of a phenomenal senior season for Springfield. After winning the national championship in the triple jump in the indoor portion of the season, Hay swept the yearly awards as she was selected as the NEWMAC Track and Field Athlete of the Year. Hay repeated as the top track athlete in the conference, in addition to taking home top field athlete honors this season. At the NEWMAC Championships, Hay won the 100 meters (12.19), 200 meters (25.24), long jump (5.58 meters, 18-3 3/4), triple jump (11.37 meters, 37-3 3/4), and was part of the winning 4x100 meter relay (47.97). She qualified provisionally for the NCAA Division III Championships in each event.

I know a lot of you are upset that Apple and Google have been tracking you on your smart phone.
But here's my question: why can't they use some of that technology to stop people from taping live shows? If they can tell you're at a Dunkin' Donuts in Kokomo, Indiana, they should be able to tell you're at a concert and use some thingamabob to shut your phone down until it's over.

Cell phones have ruined the concert experience.
The second the lights go down, thousands of illuminated smart phone screens take their place. Folks hit record and start taking amateur videos of their favorite band or singer. We've become so overtaken by things, we don't even watch live events in real time anymore.
A friend and I went to a Mint Condition concert a few weeks ago where this phenomenon was especially prevalent. The band was playing its heart out. There were guitar solos, sax solos—even a drum duet. Most of the crowd just sat there filming everything. I guess they watched the concert after they got home and uploaded it. When you go to a rockin' show, you should leave hoarse, covered in sweat and exhausted. This crowd looked more rested than when they arrived. No wonder the band did a short show that night. There was no crowd energy to feed off of.
The sound of applause has been replaced by the muted tones of thumbs slapping against cell phone buttons. Uproarious crowd participation is dying out because folks have a tough time singing along while trying to find a good shot. For the most part, all that fuss doesn't even produce good videos! I don't want to hear you talk about how cute the singer's hair is, or hear your drunk friend yell "WOOOOO!" louder than the song that's being performed.
It's affected our storytelling. We no longer re-enact what we see at these shows. Remember when you would describe the stage, the lighting and the set list with enthusiasm and wild hand gestures? It used to be fun to imitate a guitar solo or trying to describe a note the singer hit. Nowadays when someone asks, "How was the concert last night?" we'll tell them to Youtube it. Where's the excitement in that?
Since Apple and Google probably won't make that doohickey anytime soon, try turning your phone off the next time you go to a concert. You'll get the most out of the experience. Plus, you and whoever you came with can have fun acting it out again when the show's over. But if you still regret not recording it, several shaky amateur videos will await you online.

The biennale, which is unique in that in changes locations each time it is held, was housed in an Art Deco building at a former coal mining site.
Photographer Nick Vlcek was kind enough to share some photos of from the event with us. Here's what he had to say about the experience:
Manifesta lived up to it's uncompromisingly experimental reputation by mixing contemporary art into the local cultural heritage with a strong curatorial hand. In certain places it was hard to tell the difference between the two, with the result that it was fulfilling for both international art hipsters and longtime residents of the area.
Quotes describing the photos are Vlcek's own.

Janelle Perez scored 16 points and Jasmine Bradley added 12, including two pressure-packed free throws with 12 seconds remaining Saturday after a pair of defensive stops in the final minute by Northwestern State helped lift the Lady Demons over visiting Central Arkansas 52-47 in Southland Conference women's basketball.Nursing a 48-47 edge on defense in the waning seconds, Northwestern forced two straight tie balls after post feeds to UCA star Megan Herbert, the second with 14 seconds remaining. The Sugar Bears retained possession and 79 percent free throw shooter Courtney Duever drew a foul on the inbounds play, but missed the front side of a 1-and-1 opportunity with NSU's Bradley rebounding and getting fouled.Bradley drained both of her free throws to push NSU ahead 50-47. UCA's Britney Gowans missed a bid to tie the game with a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining, and Perez rebounded, was fouled and sank two free throws with a second left to clinch the outcome. Their second straight victory over a conference foe with a winning record raised the Lady Demons to 9-13 overall, 5-7 in the Southland. UCA dipped to 12-10 and 6-6 in league play as Herbert, the conference's leading scorer with an 18.7 average that matches her career average, was limited to 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting.Keisha Lee also scored 12 for Northwestern, which has already topped last year's season wins total by three. Jasmine Upchurch contributed 10 points.Duever led the Sugar Bears with 16. NSU edged the taller foes 31-29 on the boards, with Bradley and Arianne Ausmer each snagging nine rebounds, a game-high total equaled by UCA's Duever.Northwestern shot 42 percent overall, but 52 percent after halftime following a season-best 62 percent outing Thursday in an upset of Oral Roberts. UCA led 18-17 halfway through Saturday's game."It was a pretty sluggish first half but we kept our poise through some pretty frustrating droughts," said first-year NSU co-head coach Brooke Stoehr. "Janelle Perez did a very nice job of running our offense and setting up others to score, or scoring herself."The Lady Demons, who trailed by six in the first half, opened their biggest lead at 44-35 on a Perez 3-pointer with 4:27 remaining. Duever led a quick UCA comeback within 44-42 with 2:49 to go, and a Gowans 3-pointer with 1:26 to go tightened the score to 48-47 NSU.But NSU's defense, with Perez making a steal and helping create the two tie balls, kept the Sugar Bears off the board for the final 87 seconds. All nine Lady Demons wins have come by 10 or less. They are 3-1 in league play in games decided in the final minute, including both wins this week.NSU will play three times on the road, beginning Thursday at Southeastern Louisiana, before its next homecourt appearance Feb. 23 in a non-conference game against New Orleans.

Sub-station almost destroyed after explosion near Chipping Campden
10:32am Sunday 2nd December 2012 in News By Freya Leng
AN electrical sub-station was almost completely destroyed following a fire near Chipping Campden.
Fire fighters were called at about 1.15pm yesterday to Colin Lane, Willersey, after an explosion.
Crews from Chipping Campden and Evesham attended and found the building, which was 10m x 4m, had exploded causing 75 per cent of it to be damaged by fire.
The crews did not have to use any fire fighting equipment but used ventilation fans to remove smoke. They then handed the incident over to the local utility company.
Fire crews were on scene for about 40 minutes.

The San Antonio Spurs dominated the second half and held serve at home against the Golden State Warriors with a 109-91 win in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals at the AT&T Center on Tuesday night.
Tony Parker led the way for the Spurs with 25 points on 9-for-16 shooting, while Kawhi Leonard was clutch and added 17 points and seven rebounds. The Spurs overcame their shooting previous woes in a big way and shot 51.9 percent from the field, including 10-for-21 from the three-point line.
The Warriors, led by Harrison Barnes' 25 points and seven rebounds, saw their backcourt of Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry struggle all night long. The two sharp shooters finished with just 13 points combined and went a dismal 6-for-22 from the field. Jarrett Jack's 20 points helped mitigate the stars' issues finding the bottom of the net, but Golden State committed 14 turnovers, which sealed its fate.
Though the box score shows a tightly-contested game from a numbers perspective, the Spurs dominated the hustle stats; getting to loose balls, making easy shots in transition and contesting all of Golden State's looks.
The first half was one of polar opposites in which the Spurs dominated the first quarter but came back down to Earth in the second San Antonio shot 72.2 percent in the first quarter followed by a 33.3 percent in the second. Tim Duncan scored all 10 of his first half points in the first frame and went cold in the second after the Warriors made a defensive adjustment.
Thompson and Curry each failed to find rhythm in the first half and combined for just nine points on 4 of 16 shooting. Barnes scored 15 and Jack added nine in first half.
The third quarter was all San Antonio, with the Spurs building a double-figures lead by dominating the quarter 29-19. The Spurs started off hot and finished the third with a 55.6 percent mark from the field. Parker scored nine during that stretch and the Spurs lead swelled to 14 points. San Antonio forced six turnovers in the quarter, scoring 10 points off those giveaways.
That essentially told the story for the rest of the game. The Spurs closed out the Warriors in the fourth and held them to just 19 points in the final 12 minutes.
Game 6 now turns in to a literal must-win game for Golden State with the series shifting back to the Bay Area on Thursday at 10:30 p.m. ET.

It was likely later that night the crook or crooks made their entry."Thieves don't care where they're at now, where they break in or where they steal from." said Moore.The sermon preached Sunday focused on not judging others."I'll tell you what, we're tried by the words coming out of out mouths and that's what we were challenged with on the day this happened," said Moore.While Ocilla Police investigate the crime, Pastor Moore and church leaders have put the rest into the hands of a higher power. But he does have a message for the thief.There's consequences behind every action. I'd rather just see them turn from their wicked ways because that lifestyle don't care about nothing, it's either jail or hell," explained Moore.But he says there's forgiveness in this situation."This may be a chance for them to do this and God convicts their hearts and turns them from their evil ways and they come to Him," noted Moore."[Our job is] not to judge them but to love them."

KUSA - Team figure skating will debut in the Sochi Olympics on Thursday featuring a men's and pair's short program. Colorado figure skater Jeremy Abbott from Aspen will compete in the men's team event.
Sochi is Abbott's second and final Olympics. The 28-year-old went into this season saying that this would be his last shot.
"There is no next year. This is it. This is what I have, so I have to do absolutely everything I can," Abbott said.
He is a three-time U.S. champ and competed in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
His life has been centered around figure skating since he was growing up in Aspen. He says he can't remember a time without ice skates.
"From the time I could walk, my mom would take me to the ice rink and hold my hand and walk around the ice," Abbott said.
Abbott will also compete in the figure skating men's events on Thursday, Feb. 13 and Friday, Feb. 14.

Aging in Paradise begins healthy discussion
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Suppose someone falls or gets sick and has no one to call.
There's a good chance they'll dial 911, and Longboat Key firefighter/paramedics will respond. In fact, falls are the department's No. 1 reason for calls, according to Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Paul Dezzi.
In some cases, the caller needs someone to talk to more than emergency medical treatment. Often, they could benefit from the services offered by the Longboat Island Chapel's Aging in Paradise (AIP) Resource Center, such as senior-focused wellness programs, counseling and individual assessment/homecare services.
That's the idea behind a conversation about collaboration that's taking place between the Fire Department and AIP.
Dezzi met with AIP Director Cindy Clay and chapel board member Dick Pelton Monday morning to discuss ways to work together. He plans to have a representative attend future AIP meetings.
"I think we, as a fire department/EMS agency, can do well with the agency," Dezzi said.
The department will include information about AIP when it distributes medical information door-to-door and participate in a March 9 health fair at the chapel.
Dezzi also gave AIP more than 200 File of Life magnets, which allow residents to post vital information, such as medications and emergency contact numbers, on their refrigerators.
Dezzi believes that working with the AIP and promoting its preventative programs could even reduce 911 call volume.
"That person who calls because they're lonely, or where people are falling down … maybe we can prevent that from happening again," he said.
Aging in Paradise Resource Center Health Fair
When: 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 9

A Brandon High School student is in the hospital this morning after being hit by a car, but he is expected to be OK.
According to deputies, Andrew Owens was crossing Parsons Avenue just north of Clay Avenue when he was hit by a Honda Accord. Owens, 15, was taken to Tampa General Hospital in stable condition.
The accident, ironically, happened on National Walk-Ride to School Day, which is meant to promote fitness while also making kids more aware of directions, street signs, traffic patterns, and good pedestrian behavior.
There's no word yet on any charges for the 17-year-old driver.

|Blue Jays top Parkway 48-39 in MAC opener
|Friday, December 07, 2012 2:15 PM
St. John's is 3-2 overall, Parkway 0-4.
This was no mismatch, the outcome in doubt until the last two minutes of the game. The Jays had things seemingly in hand at 41-26 with the clock ticking down to end the third quarter, at which point things got really interesting.
Parkway's Kylie Snyder heaved one in from just beyond half court at the buzzer to make it 41-29 after three.
The Jays' first three baskets of the second quarter were all treys by Recker, then Rebekah Fischer capped it off with one of her own at 0:30 to give the home team a 27-18 halftime lead. Snyder muscled in a layup with 4:53 left in the third period to cut the margin to 32-26 but Delphos scored the next nine in a row, the last three on a Recker bomb from out front, to lead 41-26.
Then the Panthers extended that to a 9-0 run with buckets from Sierra Fent (18-footer from straight away), Cami Hellwarth (defensive rebound and coast-to-coast layup) and Snyder (breakaway layup, assist to Fent).
Although some fans may have been surprised at Parkway's competitiveness, Blue Jay coach Dan J. Grothouse was not.
"Defensively, I thought we did a nice job," said Parkway coach Lynn Hughes. "We've been struggling with rebounding and I thought we rebounded a lot better tonight. That Recker kid -- she hit five threes. A couple of times I thought we had a hand in her face and she still hit it. There's not much you can do about that -- that's just the way it is. I thought the kids really got after it defensively, got some big steals -- we just need to convert more of them."
Parkway outshot St. John's from the field 40 percent (18-of-45) to 34 percent (16-of-47) but seven of the Blue Jay buckets were from long range. Delphos was stellar from the line -- 90 percent (9-of-10) -- while the Panthers were only there four times, hitting two. Parkway won the board battle 25-23 but had one more turnover, 18-17.
"Their defense is tough to get through if you're not patient against it," added Grothouse. "And I thought we executed pretty well. We had good stretches where we moved the ball without a dribble and got some good shots inside. It was a hard-fought game in the MAC. Whenever you play on Thursday night, it's gonna be a tough ballgame."
"At times I thought the offense looked good," added Hughes. "I thought we got the ball inside and scored inside. At times our running game looked good but there was a stretch there in the third quarter where we turned it over five straight times. You can't do that and win ball games. I thought we did everything well tonight, except for taking care of the basketball. I feel like we've taken a step forward every game and I think we're going to be competitive.
The visitors had balanced scoring from Snyder (13), Fent (12) and Hellwarth (8). The St. John's scoring was even more balanced -- Recker (17), Fischer (10), Katie Vorst (10) and Sydney Fischbach (8). In somewhat of an oddity, however, only two of the five Jay starters (Recker and Vorst) scored at all.
The Jays (3-2), led by Colleen Schulte's 10 points, won the junior varsity game 29-27. Whitney Rollins scored 10 for Parkway (0-4).

Dondrey Rosier, 20, is in custody in Irwin County, in connection with a recent armed robbery of the Harvey's Supermarket in Ocilla. Another suspect, Chris Hawkins, 19, has been indicted, but is still at large.
Rosier was arrested for a traffic violation in Turner County on December 11, and deputies saw an outstanding warrant for him in Irwin County.
Ocilla PD says that officers are looking for a third suspect, and there is a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
Police executed a search warrant at Rosier's Oak Street home on December 5, and found two pistols that are believed to have been used in the armed robbery of the Harvey's. They also found over $6,000 in cash, likely taken in the crime.
Both men face charges of armed robbery, and two counts of aggravated assault.
Two masked robbers forced a manager back inside the Ocilla Harvey's, as a third robber pushed a store employee to the ground and duct taped his hands behind his back.
With an assault rifle to his head, the manager was forced to empty the safe. As other robbers grabbed cigarettes, the manager was forced to the floor in the store office.
The robbers, one of whom police suspect is a woman, tried to cover their tracks by dousing the security cameras with bleach.
Irwin County and Coffee County Sheriff's Offices are helping in the search, and the Thomas County Sheriff's Office is helping process fingerprints.
Ocilla PD are now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to arrest and prosecution of the three individuals that are responsible for the crime.
Call police at 229.468.7494 if you have any information.

Dam Nation How Water Shaped the West and Will Determine Its Future (Hardcover)

From the Publisher:
In the scramble to claim water rights in the West during the fevered days of early emigration and expansion, running out of water was rarely a concern, and the dam building fever that transformed the West in the 19th and 20th centuries created a map of the region that may be unsustainable. Throughout the arid American West, metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Denver need water. These cities are growing, but water supplies are dwindling. Scientists agree that the West is heating up and drying out, leading to future water shortages that will pose a challenge to existing laws.
Dam Nation looks first to the past, to the stories of the California gold rush and the earliest attempts by men to shape the landscape and tame it, takes us to the ?Great American Desert? and the settlement of the west under the theory that "rain follows the plow," and then takes on the ongoing legal and moral battles in the West. Author Stephen Grace, is a novelist, a storyteller, and the author of several non-fiction books on Colorado. He weaves the facts into a compelling narrative that informs, entertains, and tells an important story.

The environmentally conscious holiday is all about doing your part to make the planet better for creatures great and small, and one of the best ways you can learn about the variety of cute animals that inhabit this big blue rock (even if you're not a biology major) is through the world of documentary film.
This Earth Day weekend, you have multiple documentary options to help you gain a better appreciation of adorable wildlife. Disneynature will be releasing "Chimpanzee," chronicling the story of Oscar the chimp, and Warner Bros. will be releasing "To The Arctic," about a mother polar bear raising twin cubs.

New Jersey heath officials said four more cases of fungal meningitis have been linked to nationwide outbreak and brings the total number of cases in the state to eight.
The four cases that were announced on Saturday are two women from Salem County, one 37-year-old woman received meningitis from a steroid injection September 20 and the other is a 33-year-old woman who received her injection on July 25.
Authorities said the two other patients are a 77-year-old woman from Atlantic City who received a steroid injection August 22 and a 64-year-old man from Cumberland County who was injected on September 6.
The patients in the four other cases in New Jersey are also residents of Cumberland County. Officials said seven of those patients are still hospitalized.
Health officials say more than 600 patients received the steroid injection at six facilities across the state between May 21 and September 26.
Nearly all of the patients have been contacted and warned that they could be at risk of contracting the infection. Officials say there is a chance that some patients may have contracted meningitis but not realize it because the symptoms usually take anywhere from one to four weeks to develop after receiving the contaminated injection.
The symptoms of meningitis include fever, headaches, neck stiffness and sensitivity to light or swelling.
All of the victims are part of a national outbreak that's linked to contaminated steroid medication from a Massachusetts laboratory.
The injections are being used to treat back pain.

Would you care if your neighbors owned guns? And would you want to know if they did?
A newspaper in New York compiled a database for folks in two counties outside of New York City that shows exactly which homes have permits for guns.
The database is on the Journal News website. The suburban New York newspaper created an interactive map showing Westchester and Rockland counties. The dots represent homes of every handgun permit owner in the area. Not all the homes actually have guns there, and it's only for handguns, because in New York a permit isn't required for long guns.
The paper said it got the data by filing a Freedom of Information request to clerks of those counties. The information is public record.
Many commenters to the article were upset that responsible gun owners are being called out. Gun owners at Sharp Shooters Gun Club and Range in Greenville didn't seem to mind.
"It's different in New York than it is in South Carolina. They're mostly anti-gun up there and we're pro-gun down here. So, I could care less if my neighbors knew it," said co-owner, Sam Clark.
Clark is former law enforcement and a concealed weapons class teacher. He said it is best not to tell people if you're carrying, but mostly for convenience purposes, so fewer questions will be asked by passers-by.
A big concern expressed in New York is if the database will make it easier for burglars to know where there aren't guns or letting burglars know where to steal them.
Clark said in South Carolina having a gun should deter criminals because people aren't afraid to use them.
When it comes to journalistic ethics the Poynter Institute, a school for journalists, weighed in on the database debate.
A senior faculty member, Al Thompkins, called the publishing of all the names and addresses, "journalistic arrogance." He said there is no reason for it and if anything, it "just encourages gun owners to skip the permitting."

Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman believes the topic demands a serious conversation - not just in her conference but nationwide and in all sports, from youth leagues to pro.
"As a coach, to find the right balance between 'kick-'em-in-the butt because they're dogging it today' and going too far is really hard," said Ackerman, who speaks from the perspective of a lawyer as well as a former CEO and a basketball standout at Virginia. "What's the tipping point? I don't think there is an easy answer here."
College coaches aren't the only ones wrestling with rapidly shifting boundaries when it comes to language and behavior. In many facets of society, what was once deemed acceptable is now banned outright or increasingly rejected as inappropriate.
Much of it boils down to common sense, in the view of college basketball analyst Jay Bilas, a member of Duke's 1986 NCAA runner-up team. "If you're an adult and you don't understand that homophobic or misogynistic terms are inappropriate and unacceptable in today's society," Bilas said bluntly, "then you're not very bright."
In coaching, Bilas believes the key distinction is "being demanding without being demeaning," borrowing a phrase from former NFL coach Tony Dungy.
"I never heard my high school coach curse, but he was demeaning," Bilas said. "My college coach [Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Mike Krzyzewski] cursed a lot, but he never was demeaning. He challenged us. He used some blue language. But he never was demeaning."
Coaching styles vary. But the best coaches boast a full repertoire of tactics - personalities, even - to coax, cajole and demand the best from athletes. They know when to play the role of cheerleader, tyrant, nurturer or taskmaster. And they know which players respond to a verbal kick in the rear and who needs a comforting ear.
To be effective in all those roles, they first must establish trust. And it troubles Marquette Coach Buzz Williams, who spews emotion like an open fireplug during the heat of games, that those who critique coaches don't see the time and energy invested in building that trust off the court.
"If the only time that you're dealing with your kids is when you're in practice, no matter your tone, no matter your words, if they don't trust you, it won't work," Williams said. "I think you have to be a relationship specialist."
Added St. John's Coach Steve Lavin: "Once that trust is established, and it's genuine and authentic, and players believe you have their best interest at heart, they allow you to teach, coach, motivate, inspire and discipline them."
Lavin spells out his expectations for players, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior - whether that's running sideline-to-sideline sprints, getting booted from practice, getting suspended or getting kicked off the team. Still, he admits there are times he flat-out "loses it" with his players in a way that would shame his own mother.
It's a lot like parenting, he added, or managing employees: Unrelenting screamers may get results for a while, but they lose their effectiveness if that's their only move.
That's the message of the Stanford-based Positive Coaching Alliance, which is supported by basketball coaches Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers, Larry Brown and Brad Stevens, among others."It's not good coaching," said Jim Thompson, its founder and chief executive. "You do not get the best out of players by grinding them down, by defeating them. You want to have high expectations for your players because people rise to expectations that are set for them. But you don't want to terrorize them."

Schools that are nailing law practice technology; Prof compares SLU to Pakistan; Tumblr drama
Posted May 10, 2013 8:30 AM CDT
By Sarah Mui
Legal services delivery entrepreneur Richard Granat wrote at eLawyering Blog about the efforts of the ABA's eLawyering Task Force to identify the top law schools currently teaching legal practice technology.
"We include within this category courses that train law students in document automation, legal expert systems, and other course work that has an impact on the nature, productivity and profitability of law firms," Granat wrote, and then listed 12 law schools (alphabetically) on the task force's initial list. Another major criteria for a school making the list? The school must have a full-time faculty member dedicated to coordinating and teaching a law practice technology program. Among the 12 schools and their dedicated programs:
• Chicago Kent Law School's Center for Access to Justice & Technology, led by professor Ronald Staudt.
• Maurer School of Law at Indiana University's Center on the Global Legal Profession, headed by professor William D. Henderson.

Saying 'no'
St. Louis University law professor Jeff Redding writes at The Faculty Lounge that he sees some similarities between his university and Pakistan. He leads off with the weekend's announcement that university president Father Lawrence Biondi plans to retire. "Father Biondi's fate was a central topic of discussion after nearly a year of numerous votes of 'no confidence'—by both faculty and student governance bodies—against Father Biondi," Lippman wrote.
Lippman wrote that for a number of reasons, "St. Louis has always reminded me of another place where I have spent much time, namely Islamabad (Pakistan). And SLU's governance structure, as well as its upheaval this weekend, has reminded me of Gen. Pervez Musharraf's regime—and its demise—in Pakistan."
One big reason? "In both instances ... an oppressive regime couldn't figure out how to deal with a lawyer who said, simply, 'No.' "
In March 2007, Musharraf asked Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to resign because he was unhappy with recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings. Chaudhry refused to resign: "He said 'No' to Musharraf—and, in a remarkable chain of events, ultimately ended up leading a lawyer's revolution against Musharraf, who eventually resigned in humiliation 1.5 years later and then left the country."
At St. Louis University School of Law, it was then-dean Annette Clark who first said "no" to Father Biondi. "This August 8, 2012, 'No' was different than Chief Justice Chaudhry's in Pakistan; Annette Clark's 'No' took the form of resignation, rather than Chaudhry's staying on (both forms of 'No' can be admirable). But, as in Pakistan, a lawyer's 'No' sparked a democratic movement that had long been coming."
Battle of the animated GIFs?
It's not really a battle. Back in March, an anonymous "20-something public defender" started the What the Public Defender tumblr, featuring funny animated GIFs that illustrate what she's thinking and feeling while getting through the day on her job. Prosecutors got wind of the blog, and one individual who has "practiced in multiple jurisdictions as a prosecutor and previously as a public defender" started What the Prosecutors this week, identical to What the Public Defender in look and format but with snark sympathetic to district attorneys.
Both the public defender tumblr and the prosecutor tumblr have fielded complaints about the copycat upstart. But the blogger behind the prosecutor tumblr admits up front that the other tumblr was the inspiration and wrote that "had she mentioned that she felt unflattered and wanted me to take it down—or at least make it more 'original,' I certainly would have."
What the Public Defender linked to the prosecutor tumblr on its first day of posting. Seems like there's no hard feelings.
License agreement litmus test
How do you know if you should go to law school? A Girl's Guide to Law School post from 2011 listed some hypothetical scenarios to help someone unsure of whether to apply to law school.
The first one: Someone asks you at a dinner party what you do for a living, and you say that you're a lawyer: "As you imagine having this conversation, how do you feel?" Alison Monahan writes at the Girl's Guide. "Are you excited to talk about your career, or do you try to extract yourself as soon as possible from this line of questioning?"
If you think you'd be in a hurry to change the subject to something you find more interesting, consider that the law might not be for you.
But Monahan noted a comment add to the post earlier this week describing a technique to see whether you would be a good fit for corporate law:
Best comment ever! A must-read if you're considering transactional law: ow.ly/kJwVN— Alison Monahan (@GirlsGuidetoLS) May 6, 2013
The commenter's take? "Next time you install any software on a computer, actually sit down and read that license agreement everyone always clicks through. Seriously, try to read it and try as best you can to understand it. Even if you don't go into the business of drafting software licensing agreements, you can expect anything your big law firm to be doing will be comparably complex." And then picture having to make "slight, subtle, but important changes to it" that must be done perfectly. And then "imagine doing this over and over again, all day with really short deadlines (these contracts are for business people who are in a hurry to get their deal done)."

Vanuatu country brief
Vanuatu is an archipelagic nation of 83 islands, extending over 1000 kilometres in a north-south direction between the equator and the tropic of Capricorn. It lies some 2000 kilometres to the northeast of Brisbane in the Coral Sea, at similar latitudes to Cairns in North Queensland. The population of Vanuatu is approximately 250,000. Port Vila, on the island of Efate, is the capital.
Formerly known as the New Hebrides, Vanuatu was jointly governed by British and French administrations before attaining independence on 30 July 1980.
Political overview
Vanuatu has a unicameral 52-member Parliament, elected to a four-year term by universal adult suffrage. The President of the Republic (Constitutional Head of State) is elected for a five-year term through secret ballot by an electoral college comprising Parliament and the Presidents of Vanuatu's six provincial governments. The current President, HE Iolu Johnson Abbil, was elected on 2 September 2009. The Prime Minister is elected by Parliament from among its members by secret ballot.
National elections were held on 30 October 2012. The first sitting of Parliament, held on 19 November 2012, saw Prime Minister Meltek Sato Kilman Livtunvanu (Sato Kilman) elected Prime Minister for the second time. On 21 March 2013, Kilman resigned pre-empting a motion of no confidence. On 23 March 2013, Moana Carcasses Kalosil was elected Prime Minister. Moana Carcasses himself faced a motion of no confidence on 15 May 2014 and lost the prime ministership. Joe Natuman was then sworn in as Prime Minster.
Economic overview
Most of Vanuatu's population lives in rural areas where subsistence farming and fishing are the main sources of livelihood. While agriculture, particularly beef cattle, is an important export industry, Vanuatu's economic growth is driven largely by tourism and construction. Tourism and tourism-related services sectors (wholesale and retail trade, hotels and restaurants, and transport and communication) account for approximately 40 per cent of GDP and one third of people in formal employment. Construction activity is being driven by private-sector retail, residential and a number of donor-funded government construction projects mostly on the island of Efate, particularly in Port Vila.
Bilateral relationship
Australia has a close relationship with Vanuatu. Australia is the largest aid donor and the main source of tourists (65 per cent) and investment. There is also a significant resident population of Australians (approximately 1300). Australia and Vanuatu enjoy a very broad range of links at government, business and community levels. Australia has a High Commission in Port Vila and the Vanuatu Government established a High Commission in Canberra in March 2012.
There are regular visits in both directions between Australia and Vanuatu. In December 2013, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop, led a parliamentary delegation to Vanuatu, accompanied by Senator Brett Mason, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Members of the Opposition, Tanya Plibersek and Matt Thistlethwaite, and Ambassador for Women and Girls, Natasha Stott Despoja AM.
Australia is Vanuatu's largest bilateral aid donor. Australian aid is governed by the Australia–Vanuatu Partnership for Development, which focuses on improving education, health, infrastructure, economic governance and law and justice.
More information on Australia's development assistance to Vanuatu
Australia's Defence Cooperation Program with Vanuatu was established in 1983. Australia assists Vanuatu in maintaining and operating its Pacific Patrol Boat, donated by Australia in 1987.
Bilateral economic and trade relationship
Australian merchandise exports to Vanuatu in 2012-13 totalled $65.6 million.
Australia is the major source of foreign investment in the Vanuatu economy with a focus on agriculture, tourism, finance and construction. Two-thirds of long stay tourists to Vanuatu and almost all cruise ship passengers are Australian.
Vanuatu participated in the Australian Government's Pacific Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme (PSWPS) from its inception in 2008. The scheme became permanent on 1 July 2012 as the Seasonal Worker Program (SWP). Under the Program, seasonal horticultural workers from Pacific countries are recruited by horticultural enterprises in Australia to meet their seasonal harvest needs.

I have a question from a GovLoop member that I'm hoping you can weigh in on. This member said his biggest challenge at work is getting two agencies with the same or similar mission to work together. His particular example is about army agencies, though I think his challenge can apply to other fields.
For example, I'm interested in working for the federal government in an agency related to the environment/conservation/sustainability. In my job search, I'm finding that there are so many more departments and agencies that work in these areas: Fish and Wildlife Service, General Services Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service... the list goes on. Do these step on each others' toes? How do they work together to get information?
Do you have examples of how your agency works with other agencies that have similar missions?
Views: 364
One group that I like to cite is the Interagency Network of Enterprise Assistance Providers (INEAP):
What's great about this group is that they also connect federal agencies to state and local governmental entities to solve regional challenges. Check 'em out.
Andy, this is a perfect example! Here's a quote from their site that sums up their collaboration to help out small businesses:
"INEAP was created to foster collaboration among the sometimes-viewed-as-disparate federal agencies and other entities tasked with improving the competiveness of US-based small business."
Are there equivalent organizations for other areas like education, health care, energy?
A wise early boss of mine once said "Where you sit is where you stand." What you are saying about working together (or in some cases, not together, sounds a bit like our Congress.
Seriously though, of the agencies you cite, EPA is regulatory, The others are operational but which must comply with EPA guidelines. I don't believe they "step on each others toes." It is more likely that they complement each other.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
That's a good distinction to make, thank you Alan.
Good point, David. I actually just filled out my first one of these last week with an non-profit I'll be consulting for. I didn't realize that they are a common practice in government too. I appreciate the input.

TAMPA, Fla. -- "Fear and division is all they've got left."
That's Representative Paul Ryan's take on the Democrat's platform going into the November election.
Ryan addressed the Republican National Convention Wednesday night.
For Congressman Aaron Schock, hearing from Ryan was a highlight.
"The great thing about Paul is that he is a very detailed person," Schock said. "Deep in policy, I think that is one of the reasons Mitt chose him, for his depth of knowledge. But also as a man of action, someone who not only has put together a budget but passed it."
Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, has been calling for deep cuts in tax rates and federal spending for years.
Earlier atendees heard from Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, as well as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will deliver his speech Thursday night.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- —
Rockport resident Stephanie Smith knows how to spruce up an old classic. This recipe from the former caterer adds some flair to that side of peas you were going to serve at dinner.
For years, one outlet or another has told us to eat peas. However why do so is the question? The answer is simple; they are a great source of vitamin A, which helps maintain good eyesight.
For this recipe, the key is adding layers of flavor. Smith does this in a few ways. First, she adds garlic-infused olive oil to a pot, before adding pancetta and onions.
Pancetta is similar to bacon; it is cured with salt and spices but not smoked. This Italian bacon will adds another dimension of flavor — that of pork without bacon's smokiness. Having a fatty element in this dish helps with the absorption of the vitamin A in the peas.
Then, she adds onions, and a clove of garlic, chopped, to bring it to the next level. The garlic is not as overpowering as one would assume, but it adds some depth to the dish. When it the pancetta, onions and garlic are browned, add the peas and simmer 5 minutes.
Even the pickiest eaters will want to try these peas. The pancetta and garlic will fill the room with a wonderful fragrance, draw your diners to the table and keep them there for more.
Peas with Pancetta and Onions
1 tablespoon olive oil (garlic infused)
1/2 cup pancetta, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
4 cup peas
1/2 cup dry white wine
1. Add oil to a large pot.
2. When hot, add the pancetta and onions, and stir them until they are golden brown.
3. Add garlic to the pot as well, and mix together.
4. When it is all incorporated and golden brown, add the peas.
5. Add white wine to the pot as well, and cover.
6. Simmer together for 5 minutes.

Cane (11-3) snapped a two-fight losing streak with a TKO win over Eliot Marshall at UFC 128 in March. Nedkov (11-0) is making his UFC debut and holds wins over Travis Wiuff and Kevin Randleman in Sengoku.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: They feel each other out early on as the crowd chant's Cane's nickname -- 'Banha' -- which I'm told means, simply, 'lard.' Cane times Nedkov's approach well and lands a sharp left, then spins away from any potential takedown scenario. Nedkov would like to get in close, but Cane's height and reach is making that difficult early on. Nedkov throws out a big looping right, and seems almost surprised when it lands squarely. Cane tries a head kick and slips, nearly giving Nedkov a chance to get him down. A stinging left from Cane hurts Nedkov. Cane's reluctant to follow up too heavily, and Nedkov comes back with a right. Low kick from Cane and Nedkov is on the mat briefly. Nedkov's nose looks to be smashed and bloodied. Another looping right followed by a left from Nedkov puts Cane in trouble. He's turned his back and Nedkov smells the finish. This placed just got quiet. He charges in and hammers Cane with a flurry that puts him down. A few more punches from the Bulgarian and it's over. Boos from the Brazilian crowd greet Nedkov at first, then a polite clap. Then more boos when Nedkov puts his hand to his ear, goading them.

If you're planning on a vacation so you can get out of town for a little bit, you may have thought about travel insurance.
So here's a question -- how do you know if you need it?
Money Expert Nathan Bachrach says you should only insure what you can't afford to lose. If you're spending a few hundred bucks on a plane ticket, travel insurance probably isn't worth it. But if you're planning a pricey cruise or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, it might be!
There are many kinds of policies out there. Some cover your losses if your trip is canceled; others cover the costs of any medical expenses abroad or lost luggage. Many travel insurers offer "bundled" plans, too.
Before you sign up, find out what your existing policies cover. Many health insurers will not cover you overseas, or on a cruise ship flying under a foreign flag.
If you have a travel rewards card, you might have some baggage insurance, but travel insurance is likely not included.
"Now there are all sorts of exclusions that are written into these policies, so read the fine print very carefully," adds Nathan. "And check out a site like "insure my trip dot com" to price all these different policies and compare them!"

As a j2me developer, I am now working for developing a j2me application under Symbian S60 2 edition. There is a big problem stoping my work.My application wants to get the IMSI or IMEI using the mothed named "System.getProperty(key)" as a authentication, but always gets null as a result. Through reading many references from internet, I understand that
my application must get a Nokia device's certification, or Symbian operation's certification before getting the IMSI or IMEI.
My questions are as followings:
1. If my application has gotten a Nokia device's certification or Symbian operation's certification, it can read IMSI or IMEI using method "System.getProperty(key)" under Symbian S60 2 Edition and later, right?
2. If the first question's anwer is yes. As an independent j2me vendor just like us, how to get a Nokia device's or Symbian operation's certification? Could you tell the detail process to apply for this certification? How much a certification?
In addtion, I hope to get any useful references about above questions?
Thanks a lot.

A survey of 19 area businesses indicates that there is an interest for transatlantic flights from .
Kevin Dillon executive director of the Connecticut Airport Authority, said the survey is an effort to reach out to passengers and gather information on what flights they would want from Bradley.
According to the survey results, the companies spend about $22.8 million annually on transatlantic flights, Dillon told the CAA board of directors at its meeting Thursday. Six of those companies account for more than 90 percent of that spending.
The companies indicated that they would be interested in direct flights to European locations such as London, Amsterdam, Frankfort and Paris, Dillon said. The companies said they would be willing to fly from Bradley, he added.
CAA officials said they also want to see if there is commitment from area businesses to use flights if they are created.
"If we have X route will you commit X dollars in travel," Dillon said.
The participants in the survey were recruited through the MetroHartford Alliance, the Economic Development Commission of Western Massachusetts and Northeast Utilities, Dan Carstens, marketing consultant for the airport, said.
As part of the agreement to get the companies to participate in the survey, CAA officials agreed to keep the names of the businesses confidential, officials said.
Dillon said the companies spend $39.5 million on domestic flights. The participants said they would like to see direct flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix.
Establishing international routes from Bradley has been a goal of airport officials for a long time. Dillon said he would like to take the information gathered from the survey and start meeting with international carriers about route development in December.
CAA Chairwoman Mary Ellen Jones said the agency has a few more steps to go.
"But to have this data to take to the companies is a good start," Jones said.

Young: DHing isn't factor in trade request
Veteran Rangers infielder says he feels 'manipulated and misled'
ARLINGTON -- The impending divorce between the Rangers and infielder Michael Young appears to be inevitable.Young confirmed Monday night that he has asked for a trade, but he said it was not because he has had second thoughts about being a designated hitter, which he's been projected to be since the team's signing of third baseman Adrian Beltre last month. "The suggestion that I've had a change of heart and asked for a trade is a manipulation of the truth," Young said Monday night. "I want to be traded because I have been manipulated and misled in this process and I'm not going to take it anymore." While confirming Young's trade request on Monday afternoon, general manager Jon Daniels and club president Nolan Ryan said the Rangers would try to accommodate him but in doing so, a deal would have to be in the best interests of the ballclub.
"He doesn't view himself as a designated hitter at this point in his career," Ryan said. "At this point, he still views himself as an everyday player. I understand the way he feels. ... I tried to assure him that from a career perspective, I didn't think it was a step down. Michael's feeling is that once you go to DH, you're going to be considered a DH. He feels that limits him as far as his career."
However, Young said it's what has transpired behind the scenes that has him upset but said he did not want to get into the details. A source said Young was upset that the Rangers were still trying to trade him while publicly saying that wasn't the case."That's unproductive," Young said in declining to elaborate. "Throughout the process I think I've handled myself with integrity. I don't regret any decision that I've made. I've been up front in the things I believe in. Out of respect for the fans, my teammates and the coaching staff, I have not said anything to this point. Everybody should be focused on Spring Training. "I'm disappointed this came to light. I would have rather this be handled behind closed doors but I feel I need to straighten some things out. I think it's important to address the inaccurate portrayal that is being given." Young said he did not see a way in which things could be worked out amicably so that he would remain with the Rangers. "I don't think so," Young said. "I think a trade is going to happen. The shame of this is I have a great group of teammates that I have grown to love. It's a shame this has come up when we should be focused on getting ready for the season." Young has a partial no-trade clause that allows him to designate eight teams that he can be traded to. He declined to comment on them but sources said the teams are the Yankees, Twins, Astros, Cardinals, Padres, Dodgers, Rockies and the Angels. The Rockies have shown the most interest, but a deal is not imminent. Daniels said that the club is dealing exclusively with teams on the list even though other clubs have approached the Rangers. Young is due $48 million over the next three years and that will likely be at least one major obstacle in the way of a trade. Young, 34, spent the past two years as the Rangers third baseman. That came to an end when they signed free agent Beltre to a six-year, $96 million contract on Jan. 5. At the time Young agreed to become the Rangers primary designated hitter and "super-utility" infielder. That is no longer the case. But he made it clear that he would have still been willing to do that if not for what has transpired behind the scenes. "I'm fine ... I have peace of mind," Young said. "I'm still going through my workout routine and getting ready for Spring Training. I don't regret anything I've done to this point. It's been frustrating at times but I feel I have been straight up with the team. "I just don't like what has transpired behind the scenes."

Joplin's Mayor Pro Tem is taking issue with a local newspaper's report on last night's Joplin City Council meeting. Bill Scearce tells News Talk KZRG his comments after finding out Wallace Bajjali would be buying property for a senior housing project using public funds were taken out of context.
"I made a statement after listening to the way the finances was presented, that it was a 'pretty good deal.' I meant it was a good deal for them, not for the City of Joplin. I believe the amount of money that we were putting into the public and private partnership was in excess, and will put the City at risk. I don't take issue with the project, just how it was financed."
Scearce says that's why he was the lone vote against the agreement, which is a detail he adds was not mentioned in the report in question.
