If you ask Bee, who is 6,
to name her favorite city,
she will respond with a
quick, declarative and unswerving
``Rochester.'' She
loves Cooperstown — don't
get me wrong. It's just that
Rochester has two things
she loves a little bit more:
The Strong Museum of Play
and the Radisson Hotel
where we always stay on
Rochester trips.
Bee loves the Radisson because she loves all hotels with comfortable beds and indoor swimming pools. And she believes that ringing the front desk is a perfectly reasonable solution to most of life's little annoyances. She loves the Strong Museum because, let me make this perfectly clear, it is the NATIONAL. MUSEUM. OF PLAY.
It's huge, and every square inch of it is devoted to the fact that play is integral to a child's development and growth into an adult human.
That's not just something they use on public television to fill a bit of space where an underwriter backed out. It's true.
Play is transformative, figuratively and literally. When a child pretends to be a doctor or a princess or a pirate, she is transforming and expanding her understanding of herself. She is trying on different elements of personality, like dress-up clothes from a trunk. The things that fit the best may not go back in the trunk when playtime is over.
My favorite part of the Strong Museum is the butterfly garden, because I think it shows in rapid-time the same kind of transformation that is happening to the youngsters who visit the museum.
From the outside of a chrysalis, it looks like the caterpillar has created a peaceful, snug little room in which to rest before emerging as a butterfly.
The truth is far more dramatic — radical, even. Like most of us, caterpillars spend the caterpillar portion of their lives growing. As they grow, they shed their old skins, and become slightly larger, slightly different versions of their pre-growth selves. Then one day, something tells them that simply shedding the old skin for a larger version is not going to do. Something tells them that what they require is a grand, brilliant and utterly seismic shift.
You and I know what's coming, but maybe the caterpillar doesn't. Certainly her caterpillar cohorts don't, and they don't understand her restlessness.
``Just shed that skin like always,'' they tell her.
``You'll get bigger and bigger. One day, we'll be huge — the largest caterpillars to roam the land. We'll devour mighty oaks in one chomp!''
She's not interested in that, though. She has this idea that things could be really different. Really different. So instead of shedding her skin for a new one that's more or less the same, only larger, she builds herself a safe place to create something almost inconceivable.
Inside, everything breaks down. Literally. Her legs and antennae and her hungry little munching mouth all break down.
For all practical purposes, the caterpillar is dead — toast. Or, more accurately, soup. WhatÆs left is a formless ooze that contains the essence of what it means to be a caterpillar, which happens to be identical to the essence of what it means to be a butterfly.
Its absolutely not that remarkable. It happens every day. It may be happening just a few feet or yards from where you are sitting right now. But try telling that caterpillar how ordinary it is.
Try telling the butterfly that what happened to her was run-of-the-mill.
Fables are usually packed with a point, and this one is no different. The lesson here is that remarkable, unforeseeable change is both deeply meaningful and entirely achievable. Like growing up.
Elizabeth Trever Buchinger believes every child is capable of sprouting wings. You can connect with her at www.moremindfulfamily. wordpress.com.

Since the Great Recession millions of Americans have found themselves in dire financial straits. While filing bankruptcy is often the last resort, many have been left with no other choice.Read more
Bankruptcy can be a devastating move, both financially and psychologically. You are unable to borrow money or use a credit card. Your credit score may be lower than your age. But there is life after bankruptcy.
Once your bankruptcy has been discharged by a court you are able to begin rebuilding your financial life, and you should waste no time in doing so. A first step is to establish, or re-establish, a bank relationship.

A judge has ruled that a hearing in the Los Angeles Dodgers' bankruptcy process will not require the presence of Bud Selig, and that Major League Baseball will not need to turn over an array of documents to the Dodgers, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"This is clearly, in my mind, not an appropriate occasion to turn this hearing into a trial on the commissioner," U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross said.
Gross' decisions (he denied the Dodgers' motion to have MLB turn over documents from 31 categories, deeming them "not relevant") are, in sum, a win for MLB, which may have gotten slightly closer to wresting control of the insolvent Dodgers from owner Frank McCourt, whose financial woes have led to this declaration of bankruptcy. The hearing, on July 20, will determine whether McCourt can pursue his own external bankruptcy financing or will be forced to accept MLB's offer of a loan.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- With the first pick in the NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers will take two Tylenol and a pint of something at least 86 proof.
Having the first pick in this NBA Draft is like having the first seat in the C boarding group on a flight from Miami to Seattle. There's not one player who is making LeBron James squirm.
There are only a bunch of guys who are making the Cavaliers squirm. Dan Dakich and Will Perdue are both working this draft for ESPN. They've heard the same stories I have heard:
Pick up the phone and call the Cavaliers. They're ready to deal.
Basketball is a game of percentages. If you cannot trade the pick, you take the player least likely to make you look foolish.
That is not Nerlens Noel of Kentucky, who has a surgically repaired knee, an undersized upper body and no chance to score from outside 8 feet.
That is not Alex Len of Maryland, who would not be picked first in a draft of returning players in the ACC.
The percentage play is Victor Oladipo of Indiana. His strengths – athleticism, versatility, tenacity and character – are all qualities that will be strengths in the NBA. His questions – consistent shooting stroke, turnovers – are all things that can be fixed with more work.
"You could put him on the floor tomorrow and have confidence he'd do the job on the defensive end from Day One," Perdue said.
Oladipo has never flinched from extra work. He remembers that both major recruiting services failed to rank him among the Top 100 prospects nationally three years ago.
NBA teams also remember that Oladipo was once ranked 144th in his class. That makes some general managers flinch. If Oladipo had been rated higher coming out of DeMatha High School, there would be fewer questions. That's silly. But that's also true.
"They wonder what so many college coaches missed and if Oladipo can keep shooting the ball as well as he shot it last season," one NBA scout said.
Quit wondering. Oladipo is the best percentage pick. He improved every season at Indiana. He can guard several positions. Some guys travel with a posse. Oladipo travels with an IU degree, something he earned in three years.
"The arrow is pointing up for him," said an NBA scout. "He's very well thought of. He gives the maximum effort every day in practice and he gives everything he has in a game."
Cleveland has one reason not to take Oladipo. The Cavaliers have a guy, Dion Waiters, who plays his position. Sorry. A backcourt rotation of Waiters, Oladipo and Kyrie Irving would be a force, not a problem.
Unlike Noel or Len, Oladipo will be ready from the first dribble.
"I don't see how you can take Noel if you're the Cavs," Perdue said. "You don't have the luxury of waiting until December for a guy who might or might not be ready. How do you sell Noel to your fan base right now?"
Ditto for Len. Ask Dakich. He worked one of Maryland's games during the National Invitation Tournament.
"I remember he looked good warming up," Dakich said. "I remember he looked good shooting the ball. I remember he looked good handling the ball. But I don't remember him doing anything in the game. I really don't."
Noel will likely be taken no later than second by Orlando. He'll certainly be gone by the time Charlotte follows Washington with the fourth pick.
Noel will block shots. He will make steals. He will defend. Anything beyond that will be a bonus – after he gets healthy.
"I think he was really coming on before he got hurt," an NBA scout said. "It's important to him. He wants to do it. He's serious and plays without a purpose."
Cody Zeller of Indiana will be the third local player selected. I like Zeller going to Portland with the 10th selection, but I'm also aware Minnesota general manager Flip Saunders leans on Michigan State coach Tom Izzo for advice. That puts Zeller in play for the Timberwolves.
"He'll play 12 years in the league and be a good player," said one NBA scout.
A starter?
"Maybe," he said. "One day.
"Zeller will make an adjustment. He'll figure out what he can do and what he can't do and who he can do it against. He has a good head on his shoulders. He'll listen. Players will tell him right off and he'll be smart enough to listen."
Gorgui Dieng worked out for the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday. The Nets draft 22nd. Brooklyn is wishing, hoping and praying that Dieng will be available. But Dieng won't make it to New York. Either Atlanta (picks 17 and 18) or Chicago (20) will summon Dieng first.
"He's capable of moving his feet and doing a great job on defense," one NBA scout said. "There are a lot of teams that place great value on interior defenders with good reason.
"He can pass the ball. Rick (Pitino) did a great job of growing his game. He was a willing student. It was a happy marriage."
That will be the end of the local first-round picks. One NBA scout told me that Kentucky freshman Archie Goodwin "seemed lost" when he worked out for his team. Goodwin is destined for the second round and serious time in the NBA Developmental League.
Louisville guard Peyton Siva has started to show up in more mock drafts as a second-round selection. One has him going to Indiana, which chooses 53rd. That's an interesting projection because Siva passed on a group workout with the Pacers Monday.
Siva will learn his future Thursday night. So will Noel, Oladipo and the others.

Newsweek Names "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Best Book of the YearHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The end of the year list mania continues as Newsweek magazine has selected "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" as their Best Book of 2007. In an article titled "Wizards, Warmongers and the West Coast," the magazine lists their 15 best books, with the final installment of the Harry Potter series at the number one spot. They write:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. J. K. Rowling. You could call it the most satisfying ending to a guessing game since the casting of Scarlett O'Hara. The seventh and final installment of the Potter series went in no radical directions [spoiler omitted here], but Rowling made it look effortless when she niftily tied off one plot line after another. The kids who grew up on these novels--and therefore can't help but take them somewhat for granted--have no idea how lucky they are.
Also, earlier Time magazine posted 50 top ten year end lists, and ranked "Deathly Hallows" at number eight on their list of "Best Fiction Books" of the year. The magazine states of the novel by J.K. Rowling:
There's no point in trying to finesse the importance of Harry Potter. In seven books Rowling proved that books can still be a true global mass medium, and that significant chunks of the known world can still embrace a single story. Deathly Hallows finds Rowling is in fine form, pulling all the stops she'd been saving up. She gives us wartime gloom, the crackling three-sided chemistry of Harry and Ron and Hermione, and an epic, cataclysmic finale, among many other minor treats. This isn't the most elegant of the Potter volumes, but it feels like an ending, the final iteration of Rowling's abiding thematic concern: the overwhelming importance of continuing to love in the face of death.Thanks to all who emailed!

Comments about Evans EQ4 Batter Head Clear:
I generally like Evans, but all of their bass drum batter heads haven't done it for me. Keep in mind however, the context for this drum head was for metal. Even with quarters taped to it, I just couldn't get the same high end click and attack I get with my SK II. I did try it on my other kit I use for jazz, funk, and generally less heavy music. It worked a lot better on those styles, but I still feel like it could be better. For the record I spent about 2 months with this head, so I'm sure I tried just about all the tuning options I could.
Comments about Evans EQ4 Batter Head Clear:
Tried many different kick heads in the past... Remo Powerstroke 3, Evans EMAD, Aquarian Super Kick II...none of them really did it for me. Couldn't get my kick to feel the way I wanted it with the PS3, and the EMAD and SKII were too muffled for my taste. Then I did research and decided the EQ4 might suit my taste. Just got it this afternoon and put it on. MY GOD is it amazing! I can actually feel what I'm playing and my kick has never sounded better. Get this head. And find out what you've been missing :)
Comments about Evans EQ4 Batter Head Clear:
After using Remo weatherheads for years, also Ludwig which came with the set, I am amazed by the deep controlled thunder that I love hearing comming from a double base. So easy to tune. I replaced the rest of my drums with Evan heads. Try them. Very affordable. I love them.Rock on....

Congress' ability to pass legislation is historically/laughably/depressingly low
- 1995-1996 Is currently the least productive two-year Congressional session on record, dating back to 1947 when the U.S. House Clerk's Office first began keeping such records. The 104th Congress passed 333 bills in total.
- 2011-2012 Will become the new least productive two-year Congressional session on record, barring a number of miracles during the final days of the 112th Congress. Our sitting senators and representatives would need to send at least 115 more bills to the desk of President Obama to avoid becoming the least productive Congress in decades. Currently, they're at 219 for the year. source
Define "productive".
If Congress spends an entire year and doesn't pass a single law, I find that to be productive. And if they spend that entire year not passing a single piece of legislation and they manage to somehow repeal even a single existing law? I call that the most successful Congress in the history of man.
There are two ways to define "productive" when it comes to politics: Internally and Externally. To me a successful government is not one that is productive internally (for Congress or government) but productive for people and the private sector.
If we define success of Congress by how busy they keep themselves, we're only encouraging them to create more and more laws which we don't need nor that we don't ask for.
This line of thinking promotes quantity over quality.
We don't need a high quantity of laws for a high quality of life. In fact, much of history has proven that the opposite is usually true and that the more laws a society has, the more corruption is also present. Now one can argue whether the corruption births the laws or if the laws facilitate the corruption, but they go hand in hand, that much is clear.
So when you say a static Congress is not a "productive" Congress, I can only agree with you if you qualify that statement with the notion that a successful Congress eliminates laws, not increases their numbers.

LONDON (AP) -- Arsenal captain Robin van Persie will not discuss a new contract until the end of the English Premier League season, when the north London club will know whether it has qualified for the Champions League.
The 28-year-old Van Persie has just one year left on his contract but says he wants to concentrate on salvaging Arsenal's season rather than negotiations with the club.
In his column in Arsenal's match-day program, Van Persie says he needs "all my focus to be on football: on captaining this team, improving every day, doing extra work on the training pitch and preparing for the very busy schedule of fixtures we have."
On the verge of Champions League elimination, Arsenal has only Premier League fixtures to worry about.

Social Entrepreneurship Institute
Give your best. Then give back.
The Social Entrepreneurship Institute (SEI) provides a way for you to learn about social entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and societal needs through service learning, workshop and a lecture series.
SEI Overview
The SEI was established, in part, to invest the intellectual capital of the University of Illinois back into the communities of the State of Illinois.and it.s become all the more important during the current economic and state budget crisis. We charge community organizations nothing for our work. In the past four years, SEI has worked on consulting projects for organizations such as Crisis Nursery, Girls Scouts of Central Illinois, Hope Community Health Center, SmileHealthy, Illinois Green Business Association, Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club, Center for Women in Transition, and A Woman's Fund.
We want these organizations to function more effectively while grappling with limited resources. That.s why SEI provides community organizations with student consulting teams and training on basic business concepts. SEI helps community organizations to explore whether a .social entrepreneurship. enterprise.creating a for-profit venture to sustain their non-profit.s organization and mission.is right for them.
The institute is a program that is hosted by the College of Business Office of Undergraduate Affairs in partnership with several institutional and community partners, including Illinois Business Consulting, the Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership, the United Way of Champaign County, and Hanley Foundation.
For Community Organizations
SEI provides community organizations with business training and a team of student interns to work on a consulting project. Organizations that wish to participate will be able to apply online starting the third week of April.
For Students
Students apply to the SEI to become Social Entrepreneurship Fellows. If you.re accepted as a fellow, you become part of a consulting team assigned to a project with a non-profit. You.re required to attend workshops and our lecture series to learn about social entrepreneurship and the positive ways in which business can respond to critical issues facing communities.and the planet as a whole. Connected with the Social Entrepreneurship Institute is the Social Entrepreneur Fellows Internship Program, which provides an excellent opportunity for you to learn about societal issues and civic engagement and to serve the community. You may apply to participate as a fellow in a variety of internship roles, including interning with community organizations, interning as a research assistant, and interning as an SEI administrative assistant. If you apply for the internship positions with community organizations, you.ll need to be available to participate in both the Institute.s workshops and lectures. Additionally, you.re required to enroll in the .Social Entrepreneurship and the Citizen Leader. course. If you wish to participate, you can apply online starting the third week of April.
Service-Learning Internship Course
Student fellows are required to enroll in the affiliated course, Social Entrepreneurship & the Citizen Leader (3 credits/graded/summer session 2), which is intended to provide structure and support to maximize learning and accountability in the academic service-learning internships. The course focuses on social entrepreneurship, in which opportunity recognition, resource mobilization, and value creation are used to address social issues in innovative and sustainable ways. Students gain hands-on experience with the theory and application of social entrepreneurship in authentic contexts through the service-learning internships and participate in structured activities, discussions, and reflection to connect those experiences to concepts and readings in business, social entrepreneurship, leadership development, and community psychology. Through a process of thoughtful engagement and civic reflection, the course objectives are designed to help student fellows achieve a functional understanding of social entrepreneurship principles in context, develop skills to be effective citizen leaders and community practitioners, and demonstrate competency in business and professional skills through the successful completion of deliverables that meet genuine community needs.

Amanda Phillips, owner of Inspired Equestrian and Parnell's riding instructor, said that most competition riders work with their horses two or three days a week, but he regularly puts in six days riding, cleaning stalls, grooming horses and other tasks around the barn. The Christian-based riding school is a safe haven for Parnell and other students at the school.
"It is something he has worked hard for, and he has exceeded all my expections," Phillips said of her student.
Parnell, who has been riding for about six years, is a softspoken young man who said his favorite part of working and riding at Inspired is "getting to bond with the horses and spend time with them." Although, he admits, getting to travel to shows is also a great bonus.
This week, Parnell and Phillips will be traveling to Lexington, Va., to compete in the International Friesian Show Horse Association's World and National Championship Horse Show. They will both be riding the stallion Cornelius, owned by Shirley Whirley, of Brooks Farms in Marbury, Ala., who is being trained at Inspired. The 5-year-old breeding stallion is not fully grown but already has three grand champion titles under his belt and is in the points lead going into the competition this week.
Phillips said this is the only competition that allows riders under 18 to compete on a stallion, but she still wouldn't consider it if not for the horse's good nature and model behavior. He is currently ranked as a "First Premie Star," which Phillips said is a high rank for his age, and she is hopeful he will bring home a world title this week.
Imported from the Netherlands as a yearling, Phillips said Cornelius knows he's special and makes sure everyone else knows it as well.
"He's a little spoiled," she laughed. She added that he is on a special diet, undergoes meticulous grooming and is worked and trained five or six days a week to ensure that he is in top form.
The competitions will begin Wednesday. Phillips will ride in Dressage, Western, Saddle Seat, Hunt Seat and Sport Horse. Parnell will compete in Youth Dressage and Fun and Costume Classes. According to Phillips, "dressage" is a type of equestrian competition where the horse and rider show off the horse's training and form.
Upon returning from this show, the group, along with other riders from the school, will travel to Georgia to compete in the Feathered Horse Classic, where Cornelius will compete for his fourth national title.

Users will have the ability to choose a set of private photos that are only viewable to certain people and hidden to others. Unless you are viewing your own photos, it is indistinguishable whether or not private photos are being hidden or shared. "You can basically make a photo private and allow certain people to see that photo without them knowing you are sharing it with them," said founder Enoch Lee. "This gives the user some anonymity on how they choose to control their privacy since only the user will be able to distinguish which of their own photos are public or private."
When someone sends a message to another person, they will have the option to share their private photos with that person. As a result, users can limit the visibility of their photos to just the people they have communicated with on We First Met.
"Most online dating sites do not focus on giving the user any privacy controls. The photos you upload to your profile will usually be shared with everyone," said Founder Enoch Lee. "We First Met gives our users the ability to improve their privacy and we plan on implementing more privacy options in the future. This, like all of our features, is available for free to our members."
We First Met has also added a "best photo" feature that allows people to select which picture is their favorite of that person's set of photos. This allows the user to see which of their photos are the most popular.
We First Met is an online dating community used to create social groups, organize events, and post conversation starters and date ideas. We First Met's primary goal is to get people talking and meeting up in person.
One of the company's most popular features is "Viewed Me Plus." It allows users to see a list of matches who are more apt to have a medium to high level of interest in their profile. The algorithm used behind this is based on several factors, and the person simply viewing the profile is just one of them. Others factors include both user's search preferences and profile settings.

Officials at the juvenile detention facility where a children's pastor accused of sexual abuse previously worked say the man never faced any allegations during his employment with them.
Jeff Eddie is currently in custody on more than 30 counts of child porn, sexual abuse of a child, and sodomy. Before working at Highland Park Baptist Church, Eddie worked at the Tennessee Valley Juvenile Detention Facility.
No reports of abuse were ever filed at the facility. Current administrator Tobey Robertson said because of the safety measures put in place and because his facility is covered with cameras and recorders, there is no chance anyone would ever be able to prey on those in custody.
The Tuscumbia facility houses a maximum of 25 teenagers and has enough safety measures in place to make it an unlikely zone for sexual predators.
"It's designed so that, especially here for the children," they know no one is going to ask you for sexual favors, no one is going to do anything to you," said Robertson.
From the moment the kids are brought to the facility, they are under 24-hour surveillance. "There's an average of three cameras in any room. It also has audio that feeds through a recorder so we can pull that audio up at any point. Those cameras are designed to pick up anything that's going on, whether it's day or night, 24 hours a day. There is no place in this building where they go where there is not a camera," Robertson said.
After their arrival, the kids immediately learn about the Prison Rape Elimination Act and sign paperwork showing they understand the no-tolerance policy.
"This is where they live. We are not here to torture them; we're not here to make it hard on them. We're here to keep them safe and secure until the courts can do what they're going to do," said Robertson.
The security measures, he said, help the staff as well as the kids. "Just about everyone who works here is a mother or father. We treat those kids the way we want to be treated, the way we'd want our children treated. It's important that we protect them at all costs, both safety and security. Not just from the staff; we protect them from themselves, other residents," Robertson said.
The training process for staff goes well beyond the typical background check. Robertson said they go through a 40-hour orientation process before coming near a child. A Central Command office also provides an extra layer of security. Officers inside this room provide additional coverage to the entire facility.

Two of my boys will not eat cheese. Finding a breakfast dish that has no cheese (that's visual) is next to impossible. I too love the simplicity of this recipe and I love the idea of the ingredients, I cannot wait for them to try it!

I loved the simplicity of these and when I made these I added diced sharp cheddar, fine minced onion,. We actually had these for a light supper with a salad, very nice!

The classic definition of "chutzpah" is the kid who kills both of his parents and then begs for mercy because he is an orphan. The Wall Street crew are out to top this. After wrecking the economy with their convoluted finances, and tapping the Treasury for trillions in bailout bucks, they now want to cut Social Security and Medicare because we don't have the money.
If there is any effort in Congress to follow-up on this talk about taking away people's Social Security and Medicare, then there will have to be some very serious pain inflicted on the politicians in
Unlike Robert Rubin's Citigroup, Social Security is solidly funded long into the future. According to the latest report from the Congressional Budget Office, it can pay all promised benefits through the year 2049, with no changes whatsoever. Even after that date it will always be able to pay benefits that are far higher than what current retirees receive.
So, the claim that Social Security is going broke is inaccurate, or in less polite circles, a lie. Workers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s have already paid for their Social Security benefits.
Many people, most notably investment banker and Concord Coalition founder Peter Peterson, have questioned the solvency of Social Security based on the fact that its trust fund is held in U.S. government bonds. Peterson and others derisively refer to these bonds as "IOUs."
Of course all bonds can be called IOUs, but
There is no reason that these bonds cannot be paid back, but if there is a serious push to default on the bonds held by the trust fund, then we should insist that Peter Peterson and other wealthy people who hold government bonds also share in the pain from default. Instead of having a full default on the trust fund bonds and full payment on the bonds held by Mr. Peterson, maybe we should make everyone take a 15 percent haircut, getting back 85 percent of the value of their bonds.
There would be substantial consequences in financial markets from such a default on
Although Social Security is paid for long into the future, Medicare does face problems due to the explosion of private sector health care costs. The way to address Medicare's shortfall is to fix the private health care system, as President Obama has pledged to do. If health care costs are contained, so that they only grow due to the aging of the population, and otherwise move in line with per capita income, then Medicare will be an affordable program. The problem is not the aging of the population, the problem is a broken health care system.
Every other wealthy country in the world has managed to contain its health care costs and provide care to its population that is as good or better than what people in the
The latest round of attacks on Social Security and Medicare are especially pernicious because they come at a time when the baby boom cohorts have just seen much of their wealth disappear due to the collapse of the housing bubble and the stock market plunge. Tens of millions of baby boomers who thought they were well-prepared for retirement two years ago now find themselves with little or no home equity and very little left in their retirement funds. As a result, they will be almost totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare.
The attacks are made even worse by the fact that the attackers, people like Robert Rubin and Peter Peterson, promoted policies that led to this collapse, and personally profited to the tune of tens, or even hundreds, of millions of dollars. In other words, after pushing the economy into a severe recession and destroying the life's savings of tens of millions of working families, the Wall Street crew now wants to take away their Social Security and Medicare. This can almost make killing your parents look like a petty offense.

The Los Angeles Clippers have just come off a gruelingly physical seven-game first-round series with the Memphis Grizzlies. They had one day off between Game 7 of that series and Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal matchup with the red hot San Antonio Spurs, and a lot of adjustments to make.
It turns out, it wasn't enough time.
The Grizzlies were the second worst team in the Western Conference playoffs in terms of offensive efficiency at 104 points per 100 possessions during the regular season. The Clippers' defense at times looked stifling against Memphis in the first round, especially in the fourth quarter. But the frequently anemic Grizzlies offense can make defenses look awfully good. It's a different story with the Spurs, who had the most efficient offense in the entire league at almost 111 points per 100 possessions during the regular season.
Spurs 108, Clippers 92 | Full Series Coverage
But the challenge for the Clippers isn't just that the Spurs offense is more potent than the Grizzlies -- it's also just so very different. The most obvious difference? The Spurs led the league in three-point percentage during the regular season at better than 39 percent. The Grizzlies were 26th in three-point percentage, and 28th in attempts. After a crazy Game 1 in which the Grizzlies made 11-16 threes, they made only 13 in the final six games of the first round combined. The Spurs made 13 in Game 1 alone Tuesday night.
Against Memphis, the Clippers packed the paint, cut off driving lanes for Mike Conley, double teamed Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph in the post, and generally dared the Grizzlies to beat them from the outside. The Memphis offense tends to devolve into a lot of isolation basketball, especially later in games, and the Clippers were able to overplay their tendencies with relative impunity.
San Antonio's offense, on the other hand, is unparalleled for movement, both of players and of the ball. And these guys are very skilled at every position. When the Clippers tried to trap Tony Parker on the pick and roll, he'd find Tim Duncan or Boris Diaw, both of whom can make the perfect next pass to beat the rotations. In the first quarter, the Spurs got multiple lay-ups this way.
And the Spurs can really shoot it. Once they get the defense rotating, their spacing is impeccable and their passing is precise, and invariably one of their shooters is going to get a good look. They made 7-11 threes in the first half, and were 11-16 midway through the third as they broke the game open. Seven different Spurs made threes during the game, with Kawhi Leonard leading the way, making all three of his.
The Spurs are also smart and experienced. The best player for the Clippers Tuesday night was second-year guard Eric Bledsoe, who came off the bench to tie his career high with 23 points and provide defensive energy. Bledsoe is a hyper-aggressive defender who loves to overplay passing lanes and deny entry passes, and in the first half he got a couple of his three steals doing exactly that. In the third quarter, when he went for the overplay, Manu Ginobili simply cut back door and Parker hit him with a perfect pass for a lay-up. Less experienced players, players who haven't been playing together for a decade, probably don't make that play. The beauty of the Spurs offense is that it is designed to take what the defense gives it, and the players are adept at making reads on the fly.
Of course the Clippers know all of this already. They know that the Spurs are a different offense, and a better offense, than the Grizzlies. They know that they need to do a better job of rotating and closing out the San Antonio shooters on the perimeter. It's all easier said than done.
It's a big transition from defending the bruising, plodding offense of the Grizzlies to suddenly trying to stop the highly choreographed ballet of the Spurs, and the Clippers struggled with that transition Tuesday night. Whether they were fatigued from the first round or simply didn't have enough time between series to make the adjustment is irrelevant. They need to figure it out quickly, or it will be too late.

Bring back the old 3v3
We, league of legends players would like to see the old 3v3 map reinstated, because the new one is just too different and resembels dominion too much. We would like the old game map be added as an option next to 3v3. We do not want the new one removed, we would like the old one also to be in the map selection menu.
This is compiled on my experience in 3v3 games and my friends.

The old 3v3 was so fun with the dragon and red and much larger jungle.

Sun Devils to debut new helmet in Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
The Arizona State Sun Devils are adding another helmet to the repertoire, as they will debut a new version of the white cap Saturday in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
A photo of the new helmet was originally tweeted by State Press writer Master Tesfatsion, and it ends weeks of speculation about what the team would look like in the game.
It had already been announced the Sun Devils would wear their black jersey, and there's a good chance they will be donning their white pants.
If that's the case, based on a creation made on http://www.thedevilswear.com/, the team will look like this:
It's an interesting -- and different -- look for the team.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
Kathy Krause's sidewalk was reported to the Kansas City Public Works Department several years ago.
"The sidewalks are not any worse than they are on the same block that we live on," she said.
The city considers the small pitted stretch of concrete in front of her house a danger. Krause disagrees.
"There is some debate if this actually has to be done," Krause said. "We had a conversation. Now they (city officials) say if we're willing to put in new caulking here, we don't have to replace this. That's good because it's more expensive."
Krause's sidewalk, just off the state line, is among the 132 addresses on the city's bad sidewalk list provided by city hall to KCTV5 News.
These property owners, on both sides of the river, are learning first-hand about a unique city ordinance putting the cost of sidewalk, curb and driveway repairs back on them.
Sean Demory, spokesperson for the Public Works Department, says the city does realize the significance of what residents are being asked to do.
"This isn't something that we seek out," he said.
Demory points out that the city-ordered repairs come only as a reaction to any sidewalk inquiry or complaint made to the 311 Action Center. Inspectors are sent out after a call comes in about a particular area.
"If it's out of compliance, the property owner has to deal with it," Demory said.
Delphine Sydnor is a property owner who knew nothing about the city's sidewalk rules.
The life-long resident of the east side says she had noticed sidewalk repairs being made on other blocks of her neighborhood. She wanted to find out if she could get a crew onto her own street.
And as she explained to KCTV5 investigative reporter Eric Chaloux, Sydnor dialed the 311 Action Center herself.
"I called the city enquiring to see whose responsibility it was to repair it," Sydnor said.
"You had no idea what you got yourself into," Chaloux asked.
"None," Sydnor replied. "They came out and marked it off and I was like, 'Yeah, we are going to get something done.'"
Then a letter came from city hall notifying Sydnor that her sidewalk would be fixed but that she must pay for the work.
"The timing was absolutely off," Sydnor said. "I've been laid off taking care of my 92-year-old mother."
The city letter gives residents 60 days to hire a contractor and get a permit for the repair work, something the financially-strapped Sydnor described as an impossible task.
"It was a lot of money," she said. "I could never pay that lump sum."
The letter ordering repairs did provide a second payment option for property owners. The city will do the construction, and then add the cost to Sydnor's property taxes for the next 10 years.
But the bid for the city contractor to repair the sidewalk, driveway and curb came in at $6,500.
"$6,500 for that portion of my sidewalk was too high," Sydnor said. "I couldn't believe it."
Out of curiosity, she decided to see what a private contractor might charge for the job.
"The estimate he gave me was $4,000 cheaper," Sydnor said.
"$4,000 less," Chaloux asked.
"$4,000 thousand less than what the city had," she said.
Back at City Hall, Chaloux questioned Demory about that price disparity.
"Why is it so different," Chaloux asked. "Why is it so expensive to do business with the city?"
"It is expensive to do business with the city because it has a number of rules that have to be followed in order to be fair," Demory said. "They (property owners) are paying for the process."
KCTV5 has learned that pricey process includes an extra 16 percent administrative fee in addition to the extended payments.
Demory insists the city is not trying to profit from the sidewalk program, and that every bit of that 16 percent fee is needed to complete the work.
"Everyone who touches that project bills to that project; their pay comes from that project," Demory said. "We're not looking to make a buck off this."
City records reveal that 88 percent of property owners on the bad sidewalk list have opted for the city's pricey plan. Perhaps like Sydnor, they cannot afford to do the work.
"The concern is the people who really have no means and coming up with that at all," Sydnor said.
At this point, Sydnor's decided to focus on caring for her ailing mother, concerned of how this will end when the city comes to collect the higher property tax amount for the sidewalk repairs.
"I could never pay that." Sydnor said. "Eventually I would fall into default."
KCTV5 has learned there is some possible movement inside the city council to change the sidewalk policy. For now, the options are limited for property owners whose sidewalks end up on the naughty list.

AVON — Three years of frustration boiled over on top of the Avon Orioles in last night's sectional final against the visiting Pike Red Devils. Avon looked to knock Pike from postseason play for the fourth consecutive year, but the Red Devils had other ideas.
Jumping on top of Avon early and keeping their intensity for the entire game, Pike ran away with a 55-24 victory and the sectional title.
"They were pretty excited," Pike coach Derek Moyers said of his team's attitude coming into the game. "To get beat the last three years by three points, two times on the last play of the game, we didn't have to get them too fired up. It was pretty much there."
Penalties and miscues plagued Avon all night and they came at crucial times in the contest.
"I'm sure there was some frustration that set in and a few plays that we lost our poise," Avon coach Mark Bless said. "It's something we'd talked about all season and the last couple of weeks we had done a better job in that regard."
On Pike's opening possession, the Orioles' defense forced the Red Devils into a third-and-7, but a pass interference call kept the drive alive. Eight plays later, Pike quarterback Brent Lyles found Tyrez Boyd for their first of three TD strikes through the air on the night.
Pike forced Avon into three-and-outs on its next two possessions before Lyles struck again, this time on a fade route to Dominique Booth.
Avon would answer with a 10-play, 67-yard drive capped off by a 4-yard touchdown run by Derrick Tennant and the Orioles trailed 14-7 at the beginning of the second quarter.
But that would be as close as Avon would get.
Pike scored 20 unanswered points and forced Avon out of its style of play, making the Orioles play catch up.
"We feel like if we can get ahead, that makes people one dimensional and we make them throw," Moyers said. "That feeds into our strength with our D-line and our linebackers."
Pike dominated on both sides of the line, pass protecting and blocking very well all night and causing havoc in Avon's backfield.
"Especially their defensive line," Bless said of Pike's interior play up front. "We couldn't keep them out of our backfield to pass the ball. They did a great job of putting pressure on us."
A 38-yard field goal by Avon's Nyles Edwards ended the scoring in the half as the Orioles trailed, 34-10.
Avon mounted an impressive drive to begin the second half, getting down to Pike's 17 before quarterback Cole Johnson took off around the left end and fumbled the ball as a result of a big hit from a Pike defender.
"We told them at the half that we had to play it possession by possession," Bless said. "That definitely deflated any chances we had, but I was proud of our players. We kept battling and playing hard."
Pike scored again on a Lyles to Boyd 44-yard hook up and led 41-10.
Avon answered two plays into the fourth quarter as Johnson plowed his way into the endzone from two yards out and the Orioles trailed, 41-17.
Pike scored twice more and led 55-17 before the Avon's Cody Baker scampered in from 22 yards out for the final score of the night. Baker led Avon in rushing with 105 yards on the ground.
Despite the loss, Bless was proud of his team's efforts through an up and down season, along with a strong senior class that stepped up throughout the year.
"It's always tough when you have a good group of seniors and they have been good leaders for us and have battled," he said. "You hate to say goodbye to them. I'm dang proud of our team. When you play for a sectional championship, that's where you want to be. That's probably one of the most difficult things to do is be able to survive three weeks in a row and be able to compete for that."

NOIR CITY's flagship festival in San Francisco returned to its home at the historic Castro Theatre January 24—February 2, 2014. The 12th edition of the world's most popular film noir festival went international, exploding the long-held belief that noir stories and style are a specifically American phenomenon. Focusing on the years immediately following World War II, this year's NOIR CITY festival featured classic noir films from France, Mexico, Japan, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Norway, and Britain, as well as a complementary sampling of homegrown Hollywood product.
Familiar American stars such as Robert Mitchum, Ava Gardner, Orson Welles, Dan Duryea, and Lizabeth Scott shared the Castro Theatre screen with international superstars Jean Gabin, Olga Zubarry, Toshiro Mifune, Ninón Sevilla and Yves Montand. The 27 films in the series conclusively proved that the cinematic movement known as "Noir" spanned the globe, and its style, sexiness, and cynicism crossed all international borders.
The Film Noir Foundation funded 35mm restoration of Too Late for Tears premiered during opening weekend. The rediscovered classic played on a double bill with the only American film noir directed by a woman, Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker. The FNF also recognized the first participant in its Nancy Mysel Legacy Project that night. The project was created last year by the family of the late film preservationist who'd managed the FNF's inaugural film restorations. The honoree, Ariel Schudson, who has earned a MFA in Moving Image Archive Studies from UCLA, will work with the Foundation on its next restoration project.
The name Akira Kurosawa doesn't immediately bring to mind film noir. However, Kurosawa often vividly chronicled contemporary urban life in his films. His two forays into noir played at the festival. In his 1948 film Drunken Angel (Yoidore tenshi) an alcoholic doctor and a tubercular gangster forge a cautious friendship, which is soon threatened by the resurfacing of the mobster's boss. In 1949's Stray Dog (Nora inu), a veteran cop guides a young policeman through the underbelly of post-war Tokyo in search of the younger man's stolen gun. Kurosawa regulars Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura co-starred in both.
The NOIR CITY Bus Tour made a triumphant comeback this year. 24 passengers enjoyed a three-hour excursion through some of San Francisco's most cinematic sites (what's left of them!) with their guides Miguel Pendas and Eddie Muller. Attendees watched film clips from classic noir films such as The Maltese Falcon, The Lineup, The Sniper, Thieves' Highway, Dark Passage, House on Telegraph Hill, Vertigo and many more—while visiting locations where the films were actually shot!
Two Argentinean films that had never previously screened in the U.S. played at NOIR CITY. The stunning 1952 Argentine anthology film Never Open That Door (No abras nunca esa puerta) was adapted from short stories by American pulp noir master Cornell Woolrich. The Black Vampire (El vampiro negro) made in Buenos Aires in 1953, is a remake of Fritz Lang's intense classic M. The latter made its American cinema debut in a brand new subtitled 35mm print funded by the Film Noir Foundation, produced under the supervision of the man responsible for rediscovery of the complete Metropolis, Fernando Martin Peña.
The ten day festival closed with a salute to Hollywood's take on the Far East, a triple bill of the rarely screened Singapore (1947) and two Joseph Von Sternberg films Macao (1952) and The Shanghai Gesture (1942). A closing night party followed on the Castro Theatre's mezzanine. Revelers enjoyed free drinks and a chance to mingle with their fellow NOIR CITY attendees. If you couldn't make our flagship NOIR CITY San Francisco festival, don't despair, we also have satellite festivals in Seattle, Austin, Hollywood, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Portland (OR).

NOIR CITY chicago
NOIR CITY makes its way to Chicago's historic Music Box Theatre August 29—September 4. The 6th edition of NOIR CITY: Chicago will predominantly feature international titles, exploding the long-held belief that noir stories and style are specifically American. The focus is on the immediate post-WWII years, spotlighting noir from France, Japan, Argentina, Spain, and Italy—including Death of a Cyclist (Spain, 1955), Ossessione (Italy, 1942), Pepé Le Moko (France, 1937), Rififi (France, 1955), Two Men in Manhattan (France, 1959), Hardly a Criminal (Argentina, 1949), Drunken Angel (Japan, 1948) and Stray Dog (Japan, 1949).

ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 31, 2009) – It came down to the last race of the year at Santa Anita, and, in a bizarre turn of events, all Garrett Gomez needed was for his pick-up mount to come out of the gate Thursday in order for him to gain his fourth straight national purse money-won title.
Cenizo, the 3-1 morning-line favorite in the eighth race whom Gomez had acquired when Martin Pedroza "took off" three races earlier, was victorious as the heavily bet 4-5 choice in the $18,000 maiden claimer. He earned $10,800.
The result allowed Gomez, on the eve of his 38th birthday, to overtake Julien Leparoux by $10,606 in the money race with mount earnings of $18,571,171 for 2009. Leparoux had earned $18,560,565 before returning to his native France to be with his family for the Christmas holidays.
But when Gomez did little more than replace Pedroza while $194 shy of Leparoux's lead, the title became all but a fait accompli. Cenizo would have earned a performance fee of $400 for merely coming out of the starting gate.
At day's end, Gomez had joined Laffit Pincay Jr. (1971 through 1974) and Braulio Baeza (1965 through 1968) as riders to have won the money championship four consecutive years. Bill Shoemaker holds the record of seven successive years, 1958 through 1964.
"To have to go down to actually my last mount of the year is unreal," Gomez said following his 1 ¼-length win aboard Cenizo for trainer Julio Canani. "I was lucky enough to pick up the winner. I was hanging around the (jockeys') room, hoping to pick up something, and Martin (Pedroza) didn't feel well."
Earlier, it seemed Gomez had been rebuffed in his title bid when his mount in the second race, Red Arrow, finished last among six entrants in the featured $54,354 optional claiming event at 5 ½ furlongs to earn no more than the $400 performance fee.
Gomez's only other scheduled mount was in the fourth race. And even though 6-5 choice Fund Raiser was a handy winner of the maiden special weight competition, the first prize of $26,400 wasn't quite enough to overcome the outcome of the second. He had fallen $194 short. Or so it seemed, at the time.
In reflecting on his best moment of 2009, Gomez said, "It was probably the Woodbine Mile with Ventura. Her race at Woodbine was just phenomenal and at the time, Bobby Frankel (Ventura's trainer, who died on Nov. 16) was very sick. Ron (agent Ron Anderson) called him, and said Bobby was very happy and that meant a lot to us. Earlier in the week, I had won on Champs Elysees for Bobby. It's been a great year."
Gomez expressed optimism for 2010. "I feel we can win the title again," he said. "We're on top of our game and we've got a lot of really good people supporting us. Some of our big horses have gone by the wayside, so Ron and I are looking to replace some of those horses. It's a great position to be in."
For a while, his position looked anything but "great" on New Year's Eve.
Red Arrow and Machismo, trained by John Sadler for Gary and Cecil Barber, were sent off as the second betting choice at odds of 5-2 in Thursday's second race. Delta Storm, fourth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint on Nov. 7, was heavily favored at 9-10.
Red Arrow raced in fourth position early and moved into third nearing the far turn, but the 6-year-old Australian-bred failed to respond to Gomez's strong urging. He gradually began to drop back on the turn while failing to beat a horse.
His entrymate, meanwhile, gained the lead from early leader Tribesman in midstretch and crossed the wire a nose in front of fast-closing longshot Paul's Hope. Sangaree finished three-quarters of a length back in third while Tribesman checked in fourth. Delta Storm, who wound up fifth, was never a factor.
Machismo paid $7.80, $3.80 and $2.80. Paul's Hope, ridden by Rafael Bejarano, returned $6.20 and $4.40. The show mutuel on Sangaree, with Martin Garcia in the saddle, was $5.20.
"He ran great," Smith said of the winner. "The key today was getting away from the gate in good order, and he did that. He's so quick away from there that sometimes he stumbles, and it's hurt his chances."
In his previous start, Machismo had finished a well-beaten sixth in Hollywood Park's Grade III Vernon O. Underwood Stakes with Smith aboard on Dec. 6. "He got left at the break and grabbed a quarter," Sadler said.
His victory on Thursday was the 5-year-old Trippi gelding's first in six races. Prior to the Underwood, he had finished eighth in the $2 million Golden Shaheen in Dubai last March.
Machismo's winning purse of $31,800 on Thursday elevated his career earnings to $256,530 from a 6-7-3 record in 31 starts.
A 10-race program will be presented on New Year's Day with Shadow of Illinois attempting to become the first 10-year-old in Santa Anita's 75 years to win at stakes race at the track in the featured $100,000 Sensational Star Handicap. First post is at 12 noon.

It's the race that cemented Roger Bannister's name into history and the distance that everyday runners use to gauge their progress and pace. Yet, over the years, the simple mile has slowly seeped out of most mainstream track meets, replaced by metric numbers that don't have nearly the same meaning.
A grass-roots group of runners led by Ryan Lamppa, who once ran the mile in 4:11, wants to change that. The group called Bring Back The Mile has sprouted on the Internet and elsewhere. Their goal: to make the mile the standard for middle-distance running and, while they're at it, maybe bring passion back to a section of their sport that has lost some of its pizazz over the years.
