The New Orleans Hornets have had a very successful season, despite what many believe. In athletic competition defining success is simplistic, victory. This goal is even more easily defined in basketball, one reliant on a scoreboard and not judges such as a variety of Olympic sports. However, in professional sports success can have a much more nuanced meaning. Success can be refined by cost effectiveness, franchise trajectory, and expectations. Owners like to say that every season that does not end in a championship is a failure, but that is unrealistic for most NBA teams this year, even before the first game was played. With all this in mind, I would like to redefine success for the New Orleans Hornets in 2012-2013.
I will begin with cost effectiveness. For the below table I have taken the liberty to remove any players who are amnestied from their payroll. This information is available at Hoops Hype. Players removed are: Brandon Roy (POR), Elton Brand (PHI), Andray Blatche (WSH), Darko Milicic (MIN), Rashard Lewis (NOH), Baron Davis (CLE), and Gilbert Arenas (ORL). I have also removed Matt Carroll from the Hornets salary number. This does not account for injured players who have missed significant time such as Andrew Bynum (PHI), Andrea Bargnani (TOR), Kevin Love (MIN), Eric Gordon (NOH), and Anderson Varejao (CLE).
|Winning Percentage
|$59.4 Million
|$65.0 Million
|$61.3 Million
|$59.1 Million
|$66.2 Million
|$54.4 Million
|New Orleans
|$46.9 Million
|$68.8 Million
|$53.7 Million
|$54.5 Million
|$66.5 Million
|$57.9 Million
As it is readily apparent, New Orleans is getting more bang for its buck this season than the other lottery bound teams (Dallas and the Lakers still have a realistic shot at the #8 seed). In a general sense the Hornets have been significant overachievers in this regard. Not only is the franchise spending the least (in the entire NBA, only Houston is even close at $51.9) on their roster this year, they are still deliver a quality product (for the price). Orlando is spending as much as Atlanta (for sake of keeping in not only within conference but division) yet has won 23 fewer games (42 v. 19).
Further there is a relatively defined salary line that separates the haves from the have nots. The following teams are still in playoff contention with a team salary less than $65 Million – Denver, Houston, Memphis, and Milwaukee. Similarly only three teams have salaries in excess of $65 Million who are eliminated – Toronto, Detroit, and Orlando. 13 of 16 teams spending at least $65 Million on basketball players are still in playoff contention in April. Please note that this value is in excess of the salary cap of $58 Million.
Let's move on to franchise trajectory. If you have watched a single Fox Sports New Orleans broadcast of the Hornets this season you have learned that they are the second youngest team in the NBA, only the Houston Rockets are younger. It is difficult at times to get a good feel for the trajectory of a team within a season, but I will attempt to provide some perspective.
|Winning Percentage
The team has gotten better as the season has progressed. Another measure would be the team before Eric Gordon's return on December 29th and after. Before December 29th the Hornets were 6-23 (.207). During that period Gordon missed all 29 games and Anthony Davis missed 13 with a concussion and stress reaction. Since December 29th the Hornets are 20-25 (.444). I would be hard pressed to find a Hornet fan who would be disappointed in a .444 winning percentage on the year, which would be in the range of 36-46. I expect that the reaction to that season would be a mixture of false hope and a concern that the team is winning too much too early when more talent is needed. The second youngest team in the NBA has improved significantly throughout the season.
My last measure which can influence the definition of success is expectations. The betting line on the Hornets to begin the year was +/- 26.5 wins. With eight games to play the Hornets already have 26 victories under their belt, to include recent wins over playoff teams Boston, Memphis, and Denver. The best opportunities to gain win number 27 will be at Phoenix April 7th and at Sacramento April 10th. Further, John Hollinger's projected wins this year was 30, and that was before James Harden arrived in the Southwest Division. The Painted Area Many of the other lottery teams are well behind their expectations except for Charlotte, who appears to be meeting their target for ineptitude.
Expectations for the Hornets within the fan base were pretty limited, as you can see in Rohan's Pre-Season Preview. Many people inside and outside the organization expected the Hornets to be awful on offense this year. I will let Tom Ziller speak for himself.
"This team is going to have a huge learning curve on offense. Davis is skilled and versatile, but offense isn't going to come easy in the NBA; the size and quickness of NBA big men will turn good college plays into NBA turnovers. Anderson is an elite shooter, but Stan Van Gundy's offense was dedicated to getting open shots out of Dwight Howard double-teams. Davis isn't getting double-teamed when the season starts, and maybe not at all in '12-13. So Anderson may be forced to create more than he'd like to, which should hurt his efficiency.
The point guard situation is ... dicey. Greivis Vasquez would be a decent back-up. Austin Rivers would be a promising two-guard. You see the issue, yes? The Hornets will either be rolling with an eighth-man trying to organize this new offense, or will have a young, impressionable shooting guard doing it. It's dicey. It makes me wonder if Kendall Marshall should have been the pick at No. 10. I know you pick for talent and not for need. But dang, this team really needs someone to organize the offense, and I don't think either Vasquez or Rivers can do it. That means that Gordon, Anderson and Davis will be creating their own shots way too much."
Ryan Anderson has been required to create his own shot at a dramatically higher rate than 2011-2012 with Dwight Howard. But it has not affected his efficiency as negatively as expected. Anderson shot 43.9% from the field and 39.3% from deep last year; he is shooting 43.8% from the field and 38.9% from deep this year. Looking into his statistics further he was assisted on 73.5% of baskets last year compared to 67.8% this year. The most glaring change has been his increased reliance on mid-range shots, shooting 2.2 a game and shooting a respectable 45% from 16-23 feet. Check this website out for more information.
On Greivis Vasquez, it is an argument that rages here on a daily basis. But I can hardly think that Ziller's idea of Vasquez being incapable of operating the offense would lead to the Hornets being 14th in offensive efficiency or The General leading the NBA in total assists. Vasquez is an admitted liability on defense, one I think is exacerbated by Robin Lopez playing center. However, could anyone realistically consider Kendall Marshall to be a more effective player this season than Vasquez?
There is one area that the Hornets have woefully performed compared to expectations, and that is on defense. I cannot find a single article prior to the season that predicts the Hornets will be one of the worst defenses in the NBA. But they have been. Despite being 8th in the league in defensive rebounding rate (74.2%, currently tied with Memphis). The Hornets give up too many shots near the basket or at the three point line and allow opponents to capitalize those opportunities. I pin this on foot speed and youth. The combination of Vasquez-Lopez has been ruthlessly attacked by opponents in the pick and roll all season. Allowing opponents free reign below the foul line (due to poor pick and roll defense) is the root of all the other problems on defense. Combine that with a young rotation and open looks either in the paint or beyond the arc have been plentiful. Opponents are shooting 37.5% from deep against the Hornets, good for 25th in the NBA.
Combine all this and I believe the Hornets have had an incredibly successful season. They have the cheapest roster in the NBA and flexibility to improve financially this summer and next. The team improved dramatically once their star player returned despite his struggles. And with all that New Orleans has still managed to exceed the expectations in the first real year of rebuilding. 2011-2012 would best be characterized as a demolition year, not a rebuilding year. Our next step as soon-to-be christened New Orleans Pelican fans is a successful draft, free agency period and the unveiling of new uniforms and a new court design. And I cannot wait.

Holidays and summer vacations are ripe times for countless children to fly by themselves to distant cities to visit relatives, divorced parents and friends.
If you think flying as an adult is scary, think how frightening it can be for a little one to hop a plane. Policies differ from carrier to carrier, but airlines try to make trips for youngsters who are flying by themselves as easy, safe and fun as possible.
The Basics
Typically, children 5-11 can travel on their own if they are booked on non-stop flights. Children generally must be at least 8 if a connecting flight is involved. Children 1-5 can sometimes fly, but only if they travel with someone who is at least 12.
No matter what the minor's age, airlines insist that a child be met at the destination airport by a pre-designated adult. Carriers are quite strict about checking identification to ensure the right person is given custody of the youngster (especially because of legal concerns over custody battles by divorced or separated parents).
Be sure to talk to individual airlines about their rules for transporting unaccompanied minors. Some carries are more child-friendly than others. For example, some charge an "escort" fee (at least $20) coming and going.
The advice
Despite these precautions, "my suggestion would be to not have any kid travel under 10 by themselves," says Deb Cornick, publisher of Have Children Will Travel, an online travel publication for parents. "If they do, they should be at least 8 or 9 years old. And then make sure it's a short trip with no connections. I've heard just too many horror stories about children being let loose in the airport and not being supervised."
In the air, flight attendants are not designed to be babysitters, she points out. They are busy with flight duties. They can't always give unaccompanied minors the special attention parents hope they'll receive.
While many people think a pre-teen still needs supervision, airlines deem a child a flying adult at age 12. For concerned parents who'd rather embarrass their children (even older teens) than expose them to airport dangers, some airlines offer a fee-based service to escort youthful customers to connecting gates.
Pre-boarding tips:
Tell the reservations agent when you book the flight that it's for an "unaccompanied minor." Don't wait until you get to the check-in counter on the day of the flight.
Book a nonstop flight or a flight that doesn't require changing planes.
Provide detailed flight information to the person meeting your child at the final destination.
When you get your child's ticket, make sure it is correct, from beginning to end of the trip. Talk about the ticket with your child and find a safe place to keep it. Explain how the ticket will be needed for the return flight or as a receipt.
Visit the airport ahead of time to squelch pre-flight fears. Introduce the child to uniformed airlines people; point out places to go for help.
Pack quiet portable games, earphone-style media players (no radios), books, etc. for the flight. Send along a favorite snack; many flights don't serve meals or "kid-friendly" fare.
On the big day, don't rush the experience. Arrive at the airport 45 to 60 minutes early to check luggage, do paperwork (bring a birth certificate or other proof of age), clear security and get the child's boarding pass. Check the luggage claim ticket and luggage tag; both should show the same destination.
Safety tips:
Make sure your child has an ID card and a small amount of cash for phone calls, emergencies and food.
Make sure the airline's flight information matches the information on your child's ticket (i.e., correct airport and flight number). Double check that the complete name, address and work/home phone numbers are given for the person meeting your child on the other end.
Stay with your child until boarding time (airlines require it). Stay in the gate area until the flight takes off.
Tell the child to stay "glued" to the flight attendant who's in charge of walking him/her off the plane. Let your child know that another airline employee may step in and supervise him/her for part of the trip. Explain that your child may have to wait in a special room until the designated adult picks him/her up at the airport.
Drill home this crucial rule with a child who's flying solo: Never leave the airport alone or with a stranger! If the child needs help, tell him/her to approach only uniformed airlines employees or airport police.

Tom Schueler, Executive Director of the Chesapeake Stormwater Network, is scheduled to give a talk titled, "Can Urban Watersheds Be Sustainable" on Tuesday, November 13 at 12pm in Room 107 Norman Smith Hall, UMaine. The seminar is free and open to the public.
This seminar will include a brief review of the science relating stream health to watershed impervious cover and the ongoing effort to restore the Chesapeake Bay. Topics will include how stormwater management has evolved in the Bay watershed toward a runoff reduction approach, how the Chesapeake Bay TMDL has prompted a new era of nutrient accounting, and what progress is being made by expert panels to define nutrient removal credits and qualifying conditions for a series of urban BMPs. Tom will also discuss how the panels have navigated a pathway between limited science, uncertain management and regulatory politics, what lessons have been learned that may be applicable to Maine, and what are the prospects for watershed sustainability in the future.
Tom Schueler has more than 30 years experience in practical aspects of urban stream research, stormwater design, stream restoration, retrofits, and comprehensive watershed planning.
This seminar is sponsored by SSI. Support is provided by the National Science Foundation to Maine EPSCoR at the University of Maine.

Strictly speaking, the handle isn't seen removed, because it isn't seen at all. This would normally pass unnoticed by most native speakers (pun intended). It simply means that you can see it's been removed. Pedants like me might have rephrased it differently.

I looked up today and noticed how nice the sun was shining through my window, and wind was blowing my curtain. I had doors and windows open all over the house. I sat and watched the curtain moving and heard the wind chimes playing in the breeze. Was it any wonder I fell asleep for an hour? I think we should find a way to bottle this for a "Winter Fragrance", then we could wear it when ever we needed a little pick me up, or calm us down.

Here are quotes from Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, special-teams coordinator Brian Murphy and RB Adrian Peterson, transcribed by the Vikings' P.R. staff.
Vikings MVP Meter: Week Eight
Let's look at how the Vikings' team MVP candidates shape up following their 28-18 loss at New England.
Vikings-Cardinals matchup of the day: Wednesday
Here's a key matchup heading into Sunday's Vikings-Cardinals game in Minnesota.
Pats knock out Favre, hand Vikings their fifth loss
Tom Brady connected with Brandon Tate for a 65-yard touchdown on a broken play to give New England a 28-18 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, knocking Favre out of the game in the process.
Peterson had surgery for a sports hernia on Thursday. The Vikings made the announcement on their website and say they "expect a speedy recovery with no long-term concerns." Peterson had the procedure in Philadelphia.||||||| Peterson, who also was named offensive player of the year after returning from a torn ACL to rush for 2,097 yards, was bothered by an abdominal injury for the last month of the season. He sat out the fourth quarter against Houston in December, which may have kept him from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.
Peterson's sensational season following major knee surgery has earned him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player Award.||||||| Earlier Saturday, Peterson won Offensive Player of the Year. The Minnesota Vikings running back finished with 2,019 yards, a mere 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's rushing record. Peterson beat out Peyton Manning, who in his first season as Denver's quarterback contended for a fifth MVP trophy. Manning's four are a record. Peterson received 30 1-2 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning got the other 19 1-2 votes.
Peterson was an unanimous choice for The Associated Press All-Pro team announced Saturday.||||||| Peterson, who came within 9 yards of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, is a three-time All-Pro.
Peterson isn't about to let up after his awe-inspiring season for the Minnesota Vikings. After rushing for 2,097 yards and nearly breaking the NFL record just one year after reconstructive surgery on his left knee, Peterson is planning on a similarly intense offseason regimen.||||||| Peterson said Monday as the Vikings cleared out their lockers that he wants to get as many teammates as he can to join him for his workouts. The Vikings lost in Green Bay to the Packers in the NFC playoffs on Saturday to finish 10-7, a seven-win improvement from last year. Peterson said he'll take some time to rest his body, but not much. He said his rehabilitation program showed him the benefit of starting preseason training early.
Peterson was held to 99 yards in Saturday's playoff loss - an improvement after gaining 199 and 210 in the first two games against Green Bay.||||||| It was only the second time in the last 11 games that he was held below 100 yards.

The Associated Press
Indianapolis — An Ivy Tech Community College official says he's optimistic that it won't have to close any of its class sites around Indiana after projecting last summer that up to 20 might have to be shut down.
Numerous cities have worked to find ways to cover costs such as rent so that Ivy Tech could keep open some of the smaller of its more than 70 across the state.
Ivy Tech executive vice president Jeff Terp tells The Indianapolis Star he doesn't expect immediate closures. He says the warning came after a school review found 19 sites were losing money.
One of those sites is in the Ohio River town of Tell City. Mayor Barbara Ewing says she's working to reduce Ivy Tech's $61,000 rent and utility expenses there.

Research performed at the Gibbon Conservation Center in the Santa Clarita Valley may help explain why men seem more interested in new tools and gadgets than women.
Minutes before they dove into the pool, sisters Grace and Maddi Loewen huddled with their coach Karen Rosolowski for a last second pep talk.
A man who intentionally drove off a cliff on Lake Hughes Road Friday and plummeted about 1,000 feet warned his mother that he was going to kill himself by jumping off a cliff near Castaic Lake, authorities said Saturday.
GRANADA HILLS - Delia Gelig told her son Army Sgt. Ian Gelig that she would pay for a wedding party when he got married while he was fighting in Afghanistan.
A man whose business was raided in 2009 for operating as a chop shop has been charged for allegedly lying to the state about his criminal history, authorities said Friday.
A person intentionally set themselves on fire, drove their vehicle off a cliff on Lake Hughes Road and plummeted about 1,000 feet in an alleged failed suicide attempt Friday morning, authorities said Friday.
A Sierra Vista Junior High School custodian was shocked by an electric current and numerous Canyon Country homes and business were without power for several hours Thursday after a tree branch struck power lines, causing a transformer to explode, officials said.
Criminal charges had not been filed as of Thursday against two friends of a 21-year-old Canyon Country woman who died in July after fracturing her skull, more than five months after they were arrested.
An investigation into sex-crime allegations against a Saugus martial arts instructor has stalled after a public appeal for more information on the case yielded no new leads in two months, detectives said Wednesday.
Santa Clarita Valley drivers continued to dig deeper into their wallets Tuesday, as surging gas prices made it more costly to fill up at the pump. Worse still, rising social unrest in the Middle East is threatening to keep oil and gasoline prices high for months to come, experts say.
A man who led officers on a four-hour chase across Los Angeles County before being shot with a Taser and arrested in San Dimas was identified Tuesday as Stevenson Ranch resident Daniel Kurt Wachter.
Larry McElvany could put the intricate inner workings of a car engine together effortlessly. But he struggled to keep his life in order.
The man found dead Sunday near the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library has been identified as Larry McElvany, 57, coroners officials said Friday.
A cold storm is expected to hit the Santa Clarita Valley with rain, thunder and possibly snow over the weekend.
A Saugus man allegedly led deputies on a short foot pursuit across Seco Canyon Road earlier this week before being arrested, authorities said Thursday.

1. We alone are the face of our Bullpen! Through us the horn of time blows the art of save-blowing!
2. The spreadsheets are too tight! FIP and SIERA are less intelligible than hieroglyphics!
3. Who, trustingly, would turn his last love toward Voros McCracken's perfumed lechery? Is this the reflection of today's virile soul?
4. Who, faint-heartedly, would fear tearing from Eric Gagne's novelty t-shirt the false goatee? Or does the dawn of unknown blowouts shine from it?
5. Wash your hands which have touched the filthy slime of the lineup cards written by scoundrel committees!
6. We order that veteran relievers' rights be revered! To feel an insurmountable hatred for the statistics existing after their time! To push with horror off their proud brow the Wreath of fielding-independent success that You have made from bathhouse switches! To stand on the rock of the word "veteran" amidst the seas of boos and outrage! And if for the time being the filthy stigmas of your "common sense" and "repeatable success" are still present in our line scores, these same line scores for the first time already glimmer with the Summer Lightning of the New Coming Beauty of the Ten Walk No-Hitter !!
SIGNED, RYAN FRANKLIN!! and THE POET MIGUEL BATISTA!!
MOZELIAK: Do you want to explain this? I found it nailed to my door this morning.
FRANKLIN: That sockdologizing old man-trap—!
BATISTA [looking approximately like this]: ... Which is why no man!! No tradition!! No mathematical scheme!! can keep us from—Franklin!! I didn't expect to see you here!!
FRANKLIN: In the bullpen? I'm here every night, Miguel.
BATISTA: Normally you don't come to the readings!! I was just forwarding a petition!! About—
FRANKLIN: Miguel you sockdologizing old man-trap I don't exactly have the security with the big cheeses to risk something like—
BATISTA: —beard banning. About beard-banning. Banning it!!
FRANKLIN: The Gillette Fusion ProGlide lobby again, I suspect... I suppose I don't see the harm.
1. Miguel Batista needs to stop passing off the work of Russian Futurists as his own.
SIGNED, Colby Rasmus AND ALSO Kyle Lohse he stole my futuristic chair that's shaped like a hand and he uses it for the readings
MOZELIAK: Do you want to explain this? I found it nailed to my door this morning.
Miguel Batista now has an ERA of 2.01 with a K:BB ratio of 1.00. After the jump: Some other Cardinals relievers who've managed to throw off the chains that shackle them to normality, and also FIPs below four. Here are the five worst seasons, by strikeout-to-walk ratio, for Cardinals relievers who've managed an ERA under 3.50 in the La Russa/Duncan era.
Honorable mention: Steve Kline 2001 somehow managed to sneak his ERA, 1.80, in underneath his K:BB ratio, 1.86. Left-handers are crafty.
5. Dennys Reyes 2009: ERA 3.29, K:BB 1.57. Lefty specialists frighten and confuse me. Reyes was pretty good at his job in 2009; lefties hit .207/.288/.228 against him, and they were well more than half the batters he faced. But part of Reyes's job description involves being so incompetent against most of the hitters in Major League Baseball that he's better off just walking them, so in his 72 plate appearances against right-handers he turned out the Jack Cust-y line of .276/.408/.466.
4. Kyle McClellan 2009: ERA 3.38, K:BB 1.50. Very few ostensibly effective Cardinals have bothered me as much as McClellan did after the 2009 season. His career, at that point, looked like a few happy accidents strung together into a set-up role in 2010—a nice Spring Training, a hot start to his rookie season while everybody else struggled, and then a sophomore year that looked, under the hood, like Chris Perez without the strikeouts.
Obviously things got better after that, because I didn't catch fire when he was awarded the fifth starter's job.
3. Ray King 2005: ERA 3.38, K:BB 1.44. Like Reyes, King combined a total inability to pitch to right-handers with a left-handed repertoire that involved finesse more than strikeouts. He also pitched just 40 innings in 77 games that year, which is truly impressive, and is listed on Baseball-Reference at 6'1", 225 pounds.
2. Blake Hawksworth 2009: ERA 2.02, K:BB 1.33. This is the season Miguel Batista is gunning for in 2011, only he's doing it as a 40-year-old veteran and not a long-delayed rookie with an awesome name and a suddenly live fastball. Only Ryan Franklin (2009) and Steve Kline managed a lower ERA with a K:BB under two.
1. Cory Bailey 1996: ERA 3.00, K:BB 1.27. There aren't many reliever careers more stereotypical than this one; Bailey bounced around as a minor league closer for the better part of 10 years, surfacing three times as an above-average relief pitcher—in 1996, 2001, and 2002. Don't sign relievers to long-term contracts.
In case you were wondering, because they keep showing up on this list, the 2009 Cardinals bullpen had an ERA of 3.67 and a K:BB of 1.75. Top three: Trever Miller, 4.18; Jason Motte, 2.35; Brad Thompson, 2.25.

We chose this cruise because we could drive to New Orleans rather than fly seven people to New Orleans. We had three staterooms -- two balcony staterooms rooms and one inside room for the three boys across the hall from their parents. This was our seventh cruise and our second on RCI - the first RCI cruise having been 24 years ago. We have also cruised on Norwegian, Costa, Renaissance, Oceania and Azamara -- most with European itineraries. Our first RCI cruise and the cruise on Norwegian had similar Caribbean itineraries and the NCL cruise also originated in New Orleans. We took the NCL cruise with our grandchildren in 2009.
Voyager of the Seas is a big boat -- especially for us who are more accustomed to smaller, more intimate vessels. However, it worked really well. The staff and crew are fantastic and made us feel that we were on a much smaller boat. Getting on and off were handled very efficiently and with no issues.
The food was fantastic -- really it was. I did not expect much and the choices offered were not only good, they included lower calorie fare as well. We chose the My Time Dining option and ate most meals around 8:00 PM in the main dining room. Some nights the boys joined us -- some nights they did not. The wait staff was wonderful and the boys really only went to dinner with us so they could interact with Woravit, our wonderful main waiter. Thanks again Woravit for making dinner such an enjoyable experience!
Normally, we have found resort and cruise ship entertainment to be not worth the effort. This was NOT the case with the Voyager of the Seas!! The ice show -- that I reluctantly agreed to go to -- was amazing. The Drifters were great, and the comedic juggler on the final night had us laughing in stiches. The bands, the combos in the bars and the DJs were all over-the-top. This is a very happy cruise crew and it shows in their enthusiasm and professionalism. The kids all had a good time -- the older boys mostly played sports and the youngest did use the kid's club activities.
We had pre-booked our own private excursions in the three ports of call so I can't comment on the ship's shore excursions. Same with the spa -- we did not use it.
The Voyager of the Seas is a bit tired and could use a cosmetic refit -- especially in the staterooms. Our couch was a bit threadbare in spots but not bad enough to complain about. The bathroom was small but very efficient and there was lots of storage space all through the cabin.
The three days at sea did make getting shaded space on deck hard to find and in order to get a spot in the adult pool area you did need to be an early riser. Also, lines for the pool deck barbequed ribs and the soft-serve ice cream machine were a bit too long for my patience level. But, this was a spring break cruise for our grandkids -- not a luxury cruise for us -- and it turned out to be much better than I expected and we had a lot of fun especially for the price!

Doughty St. 20MPH Zone
We, the undersigned, petition Camden Council to introduce a 20 MPH zone For Doughty Street and John Street. This is to be done with the stated aim of environmentally enhancing the area and reducing the streets attractiveness, as a through route, to traffic. The targeted result of this measure will be to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists and improve the living environment for residents. The scheme should seek, at the very least, to maintain the status quo with regard to Parking.

Refinery 29 bloggers outed 8 elephant-in-the-room topics the fashion industry generally prefers to avoid discussing. In the post, they ask a number of questions I often find myself asking and attempting to answer. Like, do fashion shows need to exist? How sustainable is sustainable fashion? And, just what will happen to fashion bloggers when they get old?
I'm fascinated by the rise of the "Look At How Pretty I Am" blogs. It's kind of crazy how many hits, followers, and likes these bloggers get simply by posting a daily picture of themselves. Granted, as the Refinery 29 post points out, these bloggers are young and gorgeous—and currently making a mint in endorsements and collaboration collections (not to mention the gobs of goods they get shipped to them, gratis). So what will happen as they age? "When your skill set requires looking good in pictures, it can be a lot more complicated," the bloggers wrote. Will anyone want to see a 40 year old fish-facing it for the camera? Or will we have "a whole generation of consultants"?
Comments on the post added other fashion industry transgressions like racism and the use of underage models. Why aren't big topics given more of a forum in fashion industry coverage? Maybe everybody's too busy checking out what all the pretty girls are wearing?

William Buford was the hero of the day for Ohio State as he finished with a game-high 25 points in the Buckeyes' 72-70 win over Michigan State in the final game of the Big Ten regular season. The win gave the Buckeyes a share of the Big Ten regular season title, along with Michigan State and Michigan. It's like one giant ball of rivalry hate, all atop the Big Ten standings.
It wasn't just Buford's scoring output that was impressive, though. His clutch shots were huge for the Buckeyes and his fadeaway two with one second to go proved to be the game-winner. Here's a sampling of his body of work from Sunday.
Notice Sam Thompson under the hoop after the first shot. He should get two points for the takedown, plus a bonus point for dropping a second Michigan State player in the process. Just textbook form there.

Hello developers,
There are two ways to display an image:
1) classic image tag
2) a div element (or another relement) and set a background image
I noticed that in the location example the div-background element is used.
see http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...cation_example
What are the differences between the two ways in the context of S40-Webapps, are there any advantages when you use div-background-images?

PEORIA, Ill. -- Two Illinois Candidates for Governor, both Republicans, have announced their choices for running mates.
This is the first time candidates have named their running mates.
It is a change that came about after businessman Scott Lee Cohen won the Democratic primary race for lieutenant governor in 2010.
His past history, an arrest for domestic violence and allegations of steroid use, resulted in his dropping out of the race and Pat Quinn picking Sheila Simon as a running mate.
Now, Senator Kirk Dillard has chosen Representative Jil Tracy to be his running mate and fellow Republican Dan Rutherford has picked attorney Steve Kim.
"Senator Dillard is the one candidate who really gets it and he can strongly lead this state," said Tracy.
"I've been very close to the treasurer for many years. He's been a political mentor of mine," said Kim.
Yet to announce are GOP candidates Bruce Rauner and Senator Bill Brady and Democrats Pat Quinn and Bill Daley.

The Haystack Reader: Collected Essays on Craft, 1991–2009
In 1950, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts was organized in the highlands of Montville, Maine, about twenty miles inland from Penobscot Bay, on the Maine coast. In 1960, the school moved to its beautiful newly-constructed campus on a narrow point of land called Sunshine on the island of Deer Isle, across Penobscot Bay from its original location. The campus is comprised of austere but comfortable cabins and studios, placed on raised decks along a slope of wooded land that flows down to the sea. . . . Potters, blacksmiths, printmakers, fiber artists, glassmakers, painters, jewelers, furniture makers, sculptors, and others in related fields gather to learn, to teach, and generally to nourish their collective and individual creative spirits. For the span of a few weeks, the abrasions of everyday living seem distant, perhaps even non-existent, or at least not all-encompassing in the way those distractions and limitations exist for many of us much of the time.
This book consists of a wide variety of essays about craft. They were published by Haystack in a continuing series of nicely-designed monographs (sometimes several related essays were collected in one publication). This series was initiated in 1991, shortly after poet Stuart Kestenbaum began his tenure as Haystack's director. These are essays in the original sense of the literary form, in that they assay intellectual terrain where the writer might not have previously stood. There are accounts of everyday life at the school, papers that explore shifts in technology and the place of craft in contemporary society, philosophical and literary ideas articulated with care, and expressions of wonder and gratitude. The original essays are presented in this edition with a minimum of new editing and in the sequence in which they were originally published. – from the Preface
440 pages, 7 x 10, with 83 illustrations
Paperback, 2010; ISBN: 0-89101-117-x / 978-0-89101-117-0; $24.95

NFL teams released their Thursday practice participation reports as they continue preparing for Sunday's week eight contests. The Chiefs and Chargers also released their first injury reports of the week for Monday Night Football.
The updated Thursday reports include some notable changes. Adrian Peterson is back on the practice field as he continues recovering from a foot injury. He sat out Wednesday, but getting back in for some individual drills on Thursday is a good sign. If he is at least limited or a full go on Friday, expect him to be in the starting lineup as usual.
The most surprising limited player was Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells. After early reports indicated he might miss a week or two with a bone bruise, Wells was back on the practice field Thursday. While he was limited, this is still a pretty big step forward. He faces a brutal matchup against the Ravens defense, but if you are short a running back, having Wells on Sunday is better than some of the other options out there. We'll be back on Friday and Sunday with more on this situation.
Teams generally have formal practices Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and release practice participation and injury reports at the end of each session. Monday Night Football teams are a day later. For the participation reports, players are listed as Out (Definitely Will Not Play), Did Not Participate In Practice, Limited Participation in Practice, Full Participant In Practice.
