Nick Calathes getting cold feet about playing in Greece?
- 11:08 am Friday, June 19th, 2009 by Post Staff
At least, so says ESPN.com NBA draft expert Chad Ford this week in his "Draft Buzz" column.
Calathes, the 6-foot-5 point guard who established new assist records in each of his two seasons at Florida, signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year with Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos.
But Calathes has kept his name in next week's NBA draft. Ford writes that Calathes may be having second thoughts about Greece because Panathinaikos just signed another guard in Sarunas Jasikevicius, the former Maryland Terrapin and two-year NBA veteran who signed with Panathinaikos on June 4.
"If that happens, Calathes isn't getting nearly the playing time he thought he would," Ford writes. "If Calathes gets drafted high enough, he may try to convince the team that drafts him to buy him out of his contract now, so he can head directly to the NBA. There isn't a provision in his contract for a buyout until next year, but maybe there's a solution that will make sense. If Calathes slips into the second, most likely he'll stay in Europe and try to get the team that drafts him to buy him out next year."

What is the NMFS?
In just over a decade cinema has undergone radical transformations at every level, from production to distribution to exhibition. While apparent death knells have tolled many times before for both the art form and the medium itself, cinema's capacity to frequently revivify and reinvent itself can be taken as a sign of its vitality – not a portent of its imminent demise. Rather than lament the passing of an era, this series will look forward to new possibilities and creative currents within film and video art produced since the turn of the twenty-first century.
Mission Statement
The New Media Film Series focuses on new possibilities and creative currents within twenty-first century film and video art. Initiated and sponsored by the Department of New Media in conjunction with the Lethbridge Public Library, screenings are hosted by various scholars from the University of Lethbridge. Hosts will introduce and screen their choices for some of the most momentous cinematic works of the last ten years. The Series presents a vibrant glimpse of cinema's future, and agitates for the importance of understanding and appreciating its current transitions.

NEW YORK — Ten years after 9/11, New York residents reflect on the tragic events of the day – and how life in the city has been forever altered.
Midwood, Brooklyn -- Musician
What are your memories of Sept. 11?
I drove upstate early on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, to do some recording in the country. I remember that it was one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen — a crisp clarity of light you could see for miles. When I arrived in Ulster County, I received a call to turn on the news. Two hours away from my apartment on 14th Street and 7th Avenue, my friend and I stared at the televised horror, transfixed.
How have things changed since then?
Well, in some ways, everything's changed, I think, about American culture, generally, more than just NYC. But New Yorkers are, true to their reputation, pretty gritty and resilient. I don't think things are very different.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn -- Research Scientist
What memories do you have of Sept. 11?
I was a freshman at Stuyvesant High School, downtown, so I was about a week or two into school on Sept. 11. We were sitting in Spanish class when the planes hit, and [we] saw the second one collide into the tower, just a few blocks away, out of our classroom window. Our school was turned into a triage center [and] we were evacuated by Secret Service agents about an hour or two after the first plane hit. I remember turning back as I left the school and seeing this huge plume of smoke suddenly come up. It wasn't until I got home that I realized it was the north tower collapsing.
How has the city changed since that day?
I'm not sure it has, quite honestly. If anything, maybe I think that there's a sense, among New Yorkers, that only another New Yorker can relate to what that day was like — that it was a certain kind of communal experience, that changed us, and changed the city but not necessarily in a clear-cut way.

I have a curve which is a set of lines and arcs.This is present on a layer.Can anyone provide me code to filter these objects based on layer.I also need to convert all the object ids to a single entity.Please help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
About selection filters (extract from here):
In the .NET environment, a SelectionFilter is constructed with a TypedValue array.
A TypedValue can contain various Objects types in its Value property. The Object type is defined in the TypeCode property as an integer (or a DxfCode enum integer) which corresponds to the DXF group code of the Value.
For those who know AutoLISP, a TypedValue looks like a DXF dotted pair (even it is not the same thing, a dotted pair is a LISP specific data).
For the Values which type is String as entity type (DxfCode.Start = 0) or layer (DxfCode.Layer = 8), the Value can contain many patterns separted by commas and use wildcard patterns.
The filter can contain relational tests for the numerical values and logical grouping.
The more complete documentation in the AutoCAD Developer's Help for building sofisticated SelectionFilters is in the AutoLISP Help:
AutoLISP developer's Guide > Using the AutoLISP Language > Using AutoLISP to Manipulate AutoCAD Objects > Selection Set Handling > Selection Set Filter Lists
And the DXF group codes can be found in DXF Reference.
To join coincident curves into a polyline, you can get some inspiration from this. It uses the PolylineSegment and PolylineSegmentCollection classes defined in the GeometryExtensions assemby available here.
Thanks a lot.I just have a query that selection filter is a typed array if i have only value then how do i declare it.In the below case it gives error.How do i rectify it.
Dim typVal AsTypedValue
typVal = New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, "FirstBias")
Dim sf As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(typVal)
The SelectionFilter constructor argument have to be TypedValue array.
Dim typVal As TypedValue typVal = New TypedValue(DxfCode.LayerName, "FirstBias") Dim typValArray(0) As TypedValue typValArray(0) = typVal Dim sf As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(typValArray)
Or, more concisely:
Dim sf As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(New TypedValue() {New TypedValue(8, "Calque7")})
Thanks a lot for the help

Seen and Heard: Seen at PS122: Every once in a while I venture down to the East Village, to such places as La Mama, NY Theatre Workshop, and of course PS122 where I have seen a wide variety of performance art over the years (Funny how PS for public school translated so nicely to PS for performance space…). In any case, I went there again last night to see a pair of one-acts, Vomit & Roses and Wolverine Dreams, that combine to create Americana Absurdum, written by Brian Parks and directed by John Clancy, one-half of Clancy Productions, a theatrical touring and producing organization specializing in high-energy, bare-bones, intellectually engaging contemporary American theater. Co-founders of The Present Company and The New York International Fringe Festival, principals John Clancy and Nancy Walsh have produced and presented over one thousand productions in New York City over the last ten years, including the recently successful Fatboy at the Ohio Theatre.
Americana Absurdum comes highly recommended as it was a seminal work at the New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC) and was acclaimed at the Edinburgh Festival as well. Fast paced would be the best way to describe the action, which leaves both the audience and the actors temporarily breathless. Vomit & Roses revolves around a family that runs a small funeral parlor in a small town USA, and their resisting a hostile takeover by the suits. Wolverine Dreams is an example of the absurdity of the American legal system, as a failed poet/owner of a run down airline is on trial after one of his pilots intentionally crashed a plane.
Performed on a rather bare stage, with just a sofa upstage center (a quilt on the sofa is changes to indicate a different locale for the second act) with two simple black tables and a few chairs. According to the program, Rose AC Howard (www.rosehoward.com), in her debut with the company, designed the production elements. Her lighting design is very clever and effective, with a small rig of theatrical fixtures augmented by the workhorses of the evening: four industrial-style pendant lights that are hung on pulleys over the playing area. The actors pull these down to light the various scenes, which are often played in the dark, with the exception on one of more of these "practicals," which serve to isolate the actors and create interesting shadows that heighten the emotional experience. For a scene at a senior prom, a sheet of gel is held under one of these lights to create the prom ambiance, and a small mirror ball is later held over the heads of two actors in an embrace, with one of the lights shining on it to give it a little sparkle. Two other items, looking like (and held like) microphones actually have small yellow lamps that light up as the actors speak.
Other clever solutions are the leprechauns, with one actress playing them both by simply sitting on the floor behind a table as not to seen, with a green St. Patrick's Day top hat on each hand to create the two "little people." Also clever are the "suits" who come to takeover the funeral parlor. One gangster is played by an actor, holds a suit on a hangar on each arm. He manipulates them like puppets, making them talk and move almost like marionettes. Visual gags, good for a laugh. As a director, and writer, Clancy is an important voice in downtown theatre, and this evening is certainly full of energy, ideas, and laughs.

|Why do the Kogi people call us their "younger brothers"? What is their solution to our current environmental crisis? A remote South American tribe delivers their prophetic message.
Five minutes of film available here to view
In this episode of Global Spirit, host Phil Cousineau speaks with BBC filmmaker Alan Ereira about his beautiful, sobering documentary: From the Heart of the World: The Elder Brothers' Warning. This poignant film carries a strong warning from a remote South American tribe that cautions us, the "younger brothers", to give up our self-destructive ways and honor the planet, before it is too late.
After four centuries of seclusion, the Kogi, considered to be the last surviving pre-Colombian civilization, asked filmmaker Ereira to visit their homeland in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern Colombia. From the Heart of the World: The Elder Brothers' Warning delivers their prophetic message to the industrialized world. Seeing themselves as guardians of life on earth, the Kogi have a profound spiritual understanding of the bond between humankind and the natural world — a bond that, they insist, must be respected. This powerful film stands as an especially cogent and moving plea for ecological wisdom.
Watch Alan Ereira's Video Web Chat (July 4, 2010)
|An award-winning documentary radio producer and filmmaker specializing in historical subjects, Alan Ereira, director of From the Heart of the World, worked for the BBC from 1965 and set up his own independent company Sunstone Films in 1992. He has also written a number of history books as well as a book about the making of From the Heart of the World. In recent years he has been closely associated with Terry Jones, and they have been making films and writing books together. Alan lives in London and Paris.

Real estate is about location, location, location. And timing.
A few years ago average lease rates in Bismarck ranged between 10 and 11 dollars a square foot.
These days, the average rates are closing in on 15 dollars a square foot.
That's city wide.
In the limited downtown area, costs can be up to 3 dollars more per foot.
Mike Chaussee explains that those who grabbed their spaces when the getting was good are smiling now.
"I've seen entire buildings go up, I've seen entire buildings be rehabbed, I've seen expansions, I've seen sub-leasing - it's just absolutely crazy."
Stacy Sturm talks like she's been in downtown Bismarck for decades.
Nat --
But her business has only been in this space for three years.
"It's sort of crazy because when I said we were going to move URL Radio downtown everyone said, 'are you sure?' - like it was the worst decision ever...They said the parking is bad, there's nothing going on."
there's plenty going on now. Times have changed -- Bismarck isn't what it used to be...
"If I needed help I could have laid out on the street and bled to death - nobody would have found me - but now it can be 10, 11, midnight and the street's full of people," says Sturm.
Just a few blocks from where Sturm is leasing, the next business to lease this space will pay about five times what she is paying.
"As the demand for, again, whether it's homes, whether it's office space, whether it's new land on the outskirts of Bismarck. The demand for all those has increased. And obviously sometimes that brings with it a price increase," says Brian Ritter of the Bismarck-Mandan Development Association.
Even with the prices, representatives from the downtown association say they need more space to meet demands.
"Retail space - we could use more of that - that's in real high demand, for restaurants. Anywhere between 3000 and 5000 square foot mark is in very high demand, which is good for us because that means businesses are wanting to move in," says Kate Herzog of the Bismarck Downtowners Association.
Those that got in early consider themselves lucky, Sturm is paying well under market value and her lease isn't up for a few years.
"If I was a bigger business, would I pay $3000 a month to come downtown? Probably. As a retailer I think I would," says Sturm.
In the meantime she'll keep broadcasting to her Internet audience and the MANY passers-by downtown.
Mike Chaussee KX News.
The assistant director of the Downtowners says the group is working to add living space downtown as well.

On top of $195 million to widen I-75 in Wood County,
Governor Kasich's transportation plan has more than $200 million on the fast
track for additional improvements on I-75 in Toledo.
There would be $175.9 million earmarked for additional
upgrades at the 75/475 interchange, adding a lane for southbound 75 traffic
heading west on 475, and for eastbound 475 traffic heading north on 75. That
project would begin in 2015, as opposed to 2027 or later.
That work would also involve improvements to the Jeep
Parkway ramps, which would help the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority with its
development efforts at the Overland Industrial Park.
"The fewer things that are open out there, loose ends,
that causes some issues for development, but the more concrete things you have
and access is one of them, it's easier to develop," says Matt Sapara, of the
Port Authority.
I-75 would also widen, with a third lane being added
between Phillips and I-280. Total cost for that would be $51 million, with
construction starting in 2015 as opposed to 2027 or later.
With the governor's plan being paid for through bonds
issued against future turnpike tolls, Lucas County Commissioner Tina
Skeldon-Wozniak says Northern Ohio cannot afford to get short-changed.
"We want the projects and the dollars to be spent here.
We're keeping an eye on it because we really don't know the future plans but we
recognize this as a great first step."
The governor's recommendations will be voted on by the
state's Transportation Review Advisory Committee on Thursday.

M.D./Ph.D. - Medical Scientist Training Program
The Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) at UT Southwestern Medical School trains the next generation of leaders in academic medicine by offering a combined M.D./Ph.D. degree. Each year we enroll approximately 10 outstanding students from across the country and around the world who have substantive experience in laboratory research and a strong desire to pursue a research career related to medicine.
A highly integrated program, a dedicated and collegial faculty, and an unusually intense hands-on clinical experience await the prepared student.
Learn More
UT Southwestern's MSTP recognizes the special niche the M.D./Ph.D. scientist occupies by providing a rigorous but supportive program of clinical and research training. The program can accommodate differences in individual goals by flexible scheduling of the research and clinical years.
The program consists of:
- Two years of medical school curriculum
- A minimum of three years of graduate study and dissertation research in an area of basic biomedical science, leading to the Ph.D. degree
- Clinical studies of the final two years of medical school, leading to the M.D. degree
During their research years, students have the same intimate exposure to a research mentor as other graduate students, where they learn techniques and thought patterns of basic scientists.
During clinical training, M.D./Ph.D. students master clinical skills and develop the same compassion and commitment as all UT Southwestern medical students.

Police said a Columbus woman stabbed her niece in the face with a pair of scissors and the argument was allegedly over money.
Both women were in court Saturday and the victim was able to testify in person despite having just been released from the hospital for stab wounds. Doctors say if it was less than one inch closer to her eye, she may have received vision loss. Police say the altercation began over misplaced money.
The victim was accompanied to court by her mother and her friend, Sonya Phillips.
"I mean, no amount of money could be worth it to stab your own niece," said Phillips.
The incident began last night when the two were on a shopping trip through Columbus. Suddenly the victim's aunt,30-year-old, Matesha Searcy, noticed she was missing three hundred dollars. She immediately accused her niece, but she insisted she didn't take it.
As the arresting officer recounted, Searcy didn't believe her and drove her niece to a Victory Crossing apartment where she performed an invasive strip search. The money was never found and Searcy's niece was now ready to go home. As the victim attempted to leave the apartment, she says Searcy grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed her in the face and back. Before this incident, the victim says her niece has always been very nice to her.
"It's pretty messed up, seeing what the relationship was between the two, but things happen. You never know why people go through what they go through," said Phillips.
After the stabbing, police say Searcy would not take her niece to the hospital, so she had to walk down a busy road with no sidewalks at night looking for help until someone called an ambulance.
"She's alright. She gets choked up just talking about the story now and then, but she'll be fine. She's a silly person, so she just tries to laugh it off now and then," said Phillips
Matesha Searcy was ordered to stay in jail unless she posts ten thousand dollars bond.

"For her to make it up it is just unbelievable, blows my mind," said Laurie Caves, area resident.
"I think she ought to be prosecuted against," said Athens resident Michael Kyle.
13-year-old Melanie Bowers is seen on the school's surveillance cameras scratching herself, and another student is seen taking her sign and throwing it away. Gaby Barrios was one of the students placed on in-school suspection in connection with the incident.
"I feel that I was discriminated against," said Gaby.
Gaby told KLTV 7 News the same thing the tape shows - she never touched Melanie. Nobody did.
"They were passing the sign around at school. I saw it. I just got up to ask her about it. Nothing else, nothing more," said Gaby. "They placed me in ISS because they accused me of hitting her, scratching her and threatening her, when I didn't do that. I didn't touch her. I didn't do anything to her. To me they put me in ISS for something I didn't do."
Gaby's mother didn't speak much English, but said through an interpreter she is humiliated and thinks her daughter was targeted because of her race.
"She's very upset that the little girl lied, you know?. Being the fact that she's Hispanic, what the sign said - it's very offensive to Mexican people."
A problem that both Gaby's aunt and former students say has been at the school for a long time.
"All these schools - they discriminate against all the Mexicans. Always," said Maricela Cerrillo, Gaby's aunt.
"There is a pretty big racial comments. Everybody in our school calls each other the N word and the Mexican people call each other the W-word," said Athens High School junior Kevin Till. "There have been 4 or 5 fights over racial stuff at our school. It's ridiculous."
These tensions weigh heavily on Gaby's cousin, who will be at Athens Middle School next year.
"The Mexicans, if they do something, they blame it all on them and on the white girls they can do whatever they want. They never tell them anything," said Vernice Cerrillo, Gaby's cousin.
Now there is some relief from the girl at the center of all this - happy that the truth finally came out.
"I feel much better because it's not all on us that 'Oh, well the Hispanics did it, so I guess they're the bad people here,' when we're not the bad people," said Gaby.

... they are essentially charging what they believe the market will bear.
Which is what every successful business tries to do. Why are we even having this discussion?
... they are essentially charging what they believe the market will bear.
There was recently a long thread regarding the reality that the Canon 1Dc is mechanically identical to the 1Dx and is simply a firmware difference... that costs an additional $6000.
Most placed the blame on Canon; calling it a ripoff and gouging. BUT... that is NOT the case.
As it turns out, this is in response to European Union rules. The EU considers 4k video, even on a still camera, as a Professional VIDEO camera, and the taxes, duties, and other trade tariffs are excessive. Canon cannot sell the 1Dc in Europe as a Still Camera. This is EXACTLY the same reason that still cameras like the 1Dx have a video recording limitation of 29:59 minutes. At 30:00 capability, it becomes a "Video Camera" under EU rules.
This is screwing non-EU consumers because Canon is wary of getting slammed for violating EU rules, and probably afraid that offering the firmware upgrade only in non-EU countries would cause an underground blackmarket of product making its way to the EU. (Much like the graymarket here)
There IS a potential solution that I thought of....one that could solve the geographical issue. It's not something that Canon probably would have thought of though.. (Canon is not know for thinking "outside the box")
They could upgrade the 1Dx's with firmware that would REQUIRE the use of a Canon GP-E1 GPS unit that would have to be on the camera in order to film in 4X. The firmware would bar the use of 4X when the GPS unit showed the location to be anywhere within the EU... or within any OTHER country that had the same type of penalizing tariffs. Simple, and easy to do in firmware. I'd pay $1000 for the upgrade and buy the GP-E1 if that were the case.
... they are essentially charging what they believe the market will bear.
Which is what every successful business tries to do. Why are we even having this discussion?
The CR guy can see which country I'm in because of my IP address. But I can block or hide my IP address from any internet Proxy Server (some hackers can actually have a different IP address display e.g. to show that they're in New York when they're actually in Poland!). So your GPS idea would not work - hackers would find a way around it.
Secondly, why on earth would Canon Inc. or any other consumer electronics manufacturer wish to sell a 'dumbed- down' product for more money in Europe than a superior one (in capabilities) in the USA for less money (as prices there are already cheaper even accounting for FX rates + local taxes)?
Apple Inc. does not have a British iPhone 5 that is inferior to a Norwegian (non-EU) iPhone 5, nor would they ever consider doing that to their product lines. Can you imagine an Australian iPad 3 have lower resolution than an American iPad3. The 1DX is the 1DX no matter where you buy it in the world, and that is how it should be.
If a hacker bypasses a GPS (VERY DIFFICULT), then it's on the camera owner, not Canon.
Sorry but I'm not buying it. Sure, there may be more taxes involved but certainly not 6000$ worth of taxes.
But the reason I'm doubting this conclusion is that this price difference of $6K positions the camera in two extremely different markets. It not a small issue of being slightly more expensive that some competitor but essentially being product that caters to a different costumer. I simply don't see Canon letting EU regulations dictate their corporate strategy worldwide. Especially since there are ways around it.
The camera can have different prices in different markets. It would create a black / grey market like you mentioned but that's not Canon's problem. Even firmware upgrades can be locked to regions. Sure, hacking it would probably not be too difficult but again, that's not Canon's problem.
The 1DC is NOT identical inside, they did something for more effective heat dissipation. I think if you did get the 1DC firmware on a 1DX it would probably catch on fire (maybe not that bad, but I'm sure it would shut down at the very least).
As for the price difference, I think alot of it was due to R&D costs and the fact that they'll sell a lot less of these than they will any other DSLR body. But I've heard nothing but praise from people that have pulled the trigger. It's definitely not the camera for everything (no one camera is), but for some things it will be very useful.

We also work to establish mentor-protégé relationships between small businesses and those businesses in the mainstream marketplace.
The Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE) Program was enacted in 1989, through Chapter 360 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances. The EBE Program, formerly known as the DBE program, was created to assist and protect the interests of individuals who are disadvantaged and small business concerns in order to promote and encourage full and open competition in the City of Milwaukee. Chapter 360 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances was revised in 2002 to utilize city-certified EBEs in all contracting activities by approving an annual 18 percent EBE utilization requirement for each contracting department, and all other operating departments.
As of January 3, 2012, the Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE) Program has transitioned to the Office of Small Business Development (OSBD) Program. OSBD certifies Small Business Enterprise firms to contract with the City of Milwaukee. This change is governed by Chapter 370.

Her store is going legit. Well, it's always been legit, but actress/entrepreneur Claudia Wells is celebrating the 21st year birthday of her shop on Dec. 19 which is on Ventura Boulevard—and it's hard for her to believe.
It's like her child is turning 21.
Wells wrote on Facebook, "It'll be Armani Wells' 21st birthday in Studio City, thanks to God and my wonderful customers and clients."
Wells has a celebrity clientele, the young folks like to shop there and it's good for guys of all ages. She is also still acting, and got her big break when she co-starred with Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future.

It's all good.... my 7D is plenty enough for now and I must say 22mp can't be the real number given the D800 specs... Why would Canon develop a sensor of this size when the 18mp 1Dx sensor would suit just fine AND lower costs??? A 4mp difference is stupid, so I'm calling bull on these specs.
Remember, this was rated CR3, which are effectively facts. CR1/2 can usually be speculated about, but I would be extremely surprised if the actual released product is something other than 22mp. Its been mentioned that 22mp is beneficial for video pulldown and encoding, and if the 5D III is expected to excel at video, its not surprising a megapixel count beneficial to video was chosen.
I personally am going to bide my time and wait for other Canon announcements this year. My 7D will hold me tidy for quite some time. This is just another camera release, but certainly not the last of the year...perhaps something that caters more to those who need higher resolution will be released by end of year.

Individuals and organizations around the globe will be celebrating World Food Day on October 16th. Get a head start this Monday with Oxfam's GROW Method. Their five point strategy for a sustainable food system encourages consumers to go meatless one day a week to reduce water waste, cut methane emissions and help small producers. Join the movement today and make it a Meatless Monday!
Our current food system is characterized by volatile prices, corporate control, and unsustainable practices. According to Oxfam, over a billion people around the world go hungry each day. In contrast, over 50% of the population in more than half of industrialized countries has become overweight. Bringing balance to the food system is not a small or easy task, but consumers can use their spending and eating habits to make an impact.
To help us get started, Oxfam has created the GROW Method, which includes five simple points that consumers can use to make better choices. By reducing food waste, supporting small farms, eating seasonally, cooking smarter, and going meatless we can do our part to help the food system around the world.
Large-scale meat production requires a great deal of water, adding to the strain on our environmental resources. 500 grams of beef (just over a pound) takes 6,810 liters of water to produce. If you wanted to drink that much water, you would have to chug almost five gallons a day for a year! 500 grams of beans –enough to make four veggie burgers- takes just 818 liters of water to produce. So, if we swap 500g of beef for beans or lentils one day a week for a year, we could save over 311,500 liters of water!
If all the urban households in the USA, UK, Spain and Brazil made this simple swap, we could also cut over 900,000 tons of methane, making as much of a difference to the environment as taking over 3.7 million cars off the road for a year.
Having a meatless meal is one of the easiest things you can do for the impact. In an Oxfam poll, the majority of people in countries around the world said they would be comfortable with going meatless once a week.

The Memphis Grizzlies began the season among those in desperate need of outside help with Darrell Arthur going down for the season and Zach Randolph being put on the shelf for an extended period. But thanks to trades for Marreese Speights and Dante Cunningham and exceptional play by Marc Gasol, Memphis stayed afloat and will look to compete for a top-4 seed once Z-Bo returns.
Memphis could still use some help up front; Gasol is playing a ton of minutes, and that will weigh heavily as the lockout-condensed season will keep a hot pace through April. A center like Chris Kaman or Marcus Camby could be a huge aid, and potentially make Memphis a legit threat in the West. (Grizzlies in the Finals!)
On offense, the Grizzlies' hole is in deep shooting, though the team has always been able to gameplan around that. The Grizzlies are dead last in three-point attempts and No. 22 in conversion rate. O.J. Mayo is the only Grizzly making at least one three-pointer a game; there are 299 such players in the NBA. This team is not crazy about the three-pointer. Adding a legit gunner could help in those cases when Memphis may need to shoot itself back into the game.
The Grizzlies are at $71 million, according to ShamSports.com, just above the luxury tax threshold. It probably makes sense for Memphis to trade Sam Young (12 minutes per game) or Hamed Haddadi (6 minutes per game) and cash for a conditional second-round pick to slip under the threshold.

What started as a good-intentioned fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation went sideways on the Internet and ended with hurt feelings and the event's cancellation.
South Kamloops secondary student Olivia Hughes said Friday she and her 19-year-old friend Amanda Sullivan — who has diabetes — organized a dance with disc jockeys called Sounds of Solstice.
The dance was to be held on Thursday night, the winter solstice, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Kamloops Convention Centre at the Coast Hotel. The early version of the event was planned as a 16-plus dance with a beer-garden type area for 19-and-older participants.
As the date drew nearer, Hughes said, the event was changed to a non-alcoholic dance.
Hughes is also in her school's Global Awareness group. She wanted to use some of the money the group has raised to print tickets, but was told by principal Cale Birk that wasn't allowed.
The 585 dance tickets were printed with Global Awareness on them because she thought it could be considered a donation. Birk asked her to remove any association with SKSS, including that group, because it implied school support and supervision.
The girls marked it off the tickets and sold 400. They expected to sell out at the door. The two reassured Birk on Thursday morning there was no alcohol involved.
But the event went from being advertised on Facebook, which is what Hughes and Sullivan were using to communicate, to other Internet sites where it was still listed as a dance with alcohol being served.
And some kids started tweeting that it was a rave.
Unknown to the two girls, adults were getting other messages and their concern was growing.
Birk told The Daily New one website he saw advertised the event as a joint effort of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and SKSS's Global Awareness group, and that alcohol was on the menu.
Parents were calling, wondering about the event and whether the school was backing it.
Birk contacted school district Supt. Terry Sullivan, who instructed him to send out a phone voice message to parents advising them the event had nothing to do with the school.
The message went out to parents of a few schools advising them the event wasn't a school dance and alcohol might be involved.
"This is one of the issues with events that go online. They spread from site to site to site. As much as the information may have changed, I don't think it kept up with what was circulating," he said.
The school hasn't held dances for a few years because of drugs and alcohol becoming a problem.
"It gets harder to get people to supervise those events," he said.
Hughes said one of the reasons for holding a dance was because the school doesn't have them any more.
"I thought it would be a great time and people would happily dance," she said. "We had security and first aid. We had people at the door. We had tickets sold. We had eight or nine DJs set up."
But Birk wasn't the only one getting calls.
"Thursday morning, we started getting some phone calls. It started with parents. . . . Then we got a call from the RCMP, they were concerned," said Wade Sutton, food and beverage operations director for the Kamloops Conference Centre.
"By noon the phones were ringing off the hook."
Principals and vice-principals were calling too, saying they'd heard some questionable kids might be showing up.
"They had good intentions but I think it started to go sideways with the Facebook page and the internet. People take things their own direction," Sutton said.
"I do believe it was meant to be a fundraiser. But it was starting to attract the wrong element."
Sutton met with Sullivan and he reluctantly made the decision to cancel the event Thursday afternoon.
"Police said they were getting a bad feeling," he said, adding the rumours were growing.
Even after it was cancelled, people were posting on the internet about meeting at another location instead.
Hughes was disappointed she and Sullivan weren't told about Birk's voice message. And now they have to refund those who paid $10 for a solstice dance that didn't happen.
"We had $4,000 raised for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation."
Sullivan said the school had an obligation to notify parents, given there was a perception it was a sanctioned, supervised event.
"I think Mr. Birk did the right thing informing parents it wasn't a school event, it wasn't sanctioned by the school and there might be alcohol involved."
"We didn't cancel the dance, but we made sure parents knew."
All involved agreed the girls had their hearts in the right place. Sutton said he'd like to work with them to organize another event.
"I said we'd get together to make it right down the road."

Holl-A-Palooza by randallholl - about 4 years ago
"My family gets together on the 4th of July every year on property that my grandma (pictured) and her sisters bought along the Otter Tail Lake and Otter Tail River in Minnesota. The Holl's are of German decent, but the red-head (my mother) is Norwegian. I read somewhere that "palooza" has Norwegian roots for party and revelry - so we now call our annual memorial picnic (in honor of my Grandpa) Holl-A-Palooza at the OTC (Otter Tail County)."

Jim Delany would've preferred to talk about Nebraska joining the Big Ten, academics, and the Rose Bowl, but of course he was asked many a question about Penn State.
He "doesn't care" if the NCAA's ruling against Penn State, which went against typical NCAA protocol, establishes a precedent. Nor does he care if the NCAA technically had legal jurisdiction to do what it did. The NCAA and Big Ten "had a moral authority" to act swiftly and harshly against PSU, the Big Ten commissioner alleged. If the NCAA hadn't gone hard, the Big Ten would've, he indicated.
As for that report that he was looking into obtaining the power to fire a member school's coaches, which was resoundingly hooted at last week, Delany referred back to that moment last year when Penn State had fired its president, but had a coach telling the Board of Trustees not to fire him.
He didn't sound all that excited by the idea of Big Ten teams taking Penn State players, but said the decision to allow in-conference transfers came down to doing what's best for players. He said the rules for "Illinois and Missouri" should be the same as for Rutgers and Pittsburgh, and we might need to check on exactly which conference Mizzou is joining this year.
However, Delany notes Penn State's still a full member with full voting rights.
Elsewhere, Delany declared "the Rose Bowl needs to evolve," which sounds great, but when that evolution includes playing a part in the first-ever Division I-A playoff, it's not really hard to agree to. He lamented the death of the Pac-12 scheduling series, said the conference is going to stay at eight games, and hoped for quality out-of-conference games soon to help boost strength of schedule.

Directed by Hub Theatre artistic director Helen Pafumi, the limited engagement continues through Dec. 30.
The musical is based on Acito's award-winning novel of the same name, which was published in 2004. According to press notes, "It is the hilarious yet heartwarming tale of a talented but irresponsible teen actor who schemes to steal his tuition money when his wealthy father refuses to pay for acting school. Seventeen-year-old Edward Zanni, a feckless Ferris Bueller type, is Peter-Panning his way through life with his screwball theater friends. When his businessman father remarries and pulls the plug on Edward's dreams, the aspiring thespian turns to a life of disorganized crime. At its heart, How I Paid For College is about how far you are willing to go to make a dream come true. It's a story for anyone who's ever had a dream...and a scheme."
Brightman, whose Broadway credits include Wicked and Glory Days, plays dozens of roles in the production, which is described as a "monologsical."
The John Swayze Theatre is located inside the New School of Northern Virginia. For more information and tickets, call (800) 494-8497 or visit TheHubTheatre.org.

Snack food plant 'no option' but to relocate jobs
A Gwynedd snack food company has confirmed it is to go ahead with plans to move two-thirds of its workforce to south Wales.
Halo Foods started consultation over moving almost 100 jobs from Tywyn to Newport in June.
In a statement released this afternoon, the company says it has "no option by to relocate its operational functions."
Halo Foods considered a number of options relating to its manufacturing footprint, which also included the possibility of relocating its entire bar manufacturing operation to Eastern Europe. However, with assistance from the Welsh Government, it has been able to secure its future in Newport, South Wales where a new 25 year lease has been agreed, and a significant investment will be made to upgrade the facility.
– Robin Williams, Halo Foods managing director
We have experienced, loyal and dedicated people in Tywyn and it is very unfortunate that we can no longer retain a manufacturing operation there. There are alternative roles available for all staff at other sites and a support package will be offered to those who wish to relocate.
The move will start in November. Halo says they are now focusing on supporting staff effects and has set up a 'support hub' in Tywyn which will remain in place until March.

The Writing Affiliates initiative aims to bring the culture of the Expository Writing Program into the First Year Residential Experience (FYRE) residence halls, providing continuous support for a year in the life of a student writer. Through events designed to address the challenges of first-year writing courses, this program fosters a productive culture of academic writing in the residence halls.
Writing Affiliates collaborate with Student Affairs professionals as well as student staff to create a residential community that supports first year students' intellectual, social, cultural, and ethical development. As with all Living Learning programs, Writing Affiliates combine formal teaching, informal learning, creative activities, and personal support to create an enhanced student experience.
Writing Affiliates host peer-review essay-drafting workshops in the halls, partner with R.I.S.E., EWP faculty, and writing tutors on workshops for international students, and offer a series of one-on-one writing conferences in the halls.
Christine Malvasi has taught writing in New York, New Jersey, and Singapore. Currently, she is a faculty member in NYU's Expository Writing Program. She earned her BA from Princeton and her MFA from NYU.
She recently served as a writer-in-residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. During this residency, she had a chance to explore various artistic genres—from improvisational acting to visual art—and see how those diverse influences nudged her writing in new directions. She enjoys helping students appreciate and receive inspiration from the many creative opportunities in New York.
David Ellis—in addition to teaching in the Expository Writing Program at NYU—is a writer of many kinds: short fiction, essays, poems, plays, and even some satires. Despite being partial to the creative workings of artists (perhaps to justify his MFA in Fiction), he has found that it is often in the sciences and other disciplines where some of the most imaginative performances take place. As a writing advisor to students in fields like Astrophysics and Psychology through a program called Writing in the Disciplines, David has discovered that all of us in the university have a lot we can learn from each other, especially in our various approaches to understanding the world. As a Writing Affiliate for Founders Residence Hall, he's feels lucky to learn from the residents about what they know of the world.
Amira received her MFA in writing fiction from Virginia Commonwealth University. She was born in Beirut, Lebanon and is working on a novel about finding love in a broken world. Her favorite things to do are make feasts at home and run away to foreign lands.
David Cregar is a Senior Language Lecturer in the Expository Writing Program. He came to NYU in 1993, as a graduate student in the Steinhardt School's English Education doctoral program, and began teaching in the Expository Writing Program that same year. At EWP he was worked as a consultant in The Writing Center, and taught many of the writing courses for first-year students. For the past ten years he has focused on teaching writing for International students, and also serves as a coordinator for those courses.
He taught writing courses at NYU Abu Dhabi in its inaugural year, 2010-11, and helped develop The Writing Center and Writing Program there.
Until recently, he also taught, each summer since 1989, at Montclair State University (N.J.), in the Educational Opportunity Fund Summer Program, a developmental program for incoming students who need more time and practice reading and writing in college. David earned his B.A. and M.A. in English and American Literature at Montclair State. His Master's Thesis was the first in his department to examine writing pedagogy.
David has presented frequently at CCCC, NCTE, and other conferences for teachers of English.
David grew up on a lake in Northwest New Jersey, where he now lives with his wife Veronica, and Frankie the French Bulldog.
David was a club deejay for nearly thirty years, which helped pay his way through college, and supported his teaching habit.
Michael Tyrell, an alumnus of NYU and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, lives in Brooklyn and is a senior language lecturer at NYU. He is the author of the poetry collection The Wanted (The National Poetry Review Press, 2012) and with Julia Spicher Kasdorf, he edited the anthology Broken Land: Poems of Brooklyn (NYU Press, 2007).
NORMANDY SHERWOOD is a Language Lecturer in the Expository Writing Program at NYU. She's also a playwright, a costumer and a member of the National Theater of the United States of America (an OBIE award winning theater company that was once called "...so funny they cease to be avant garde..."). Her plays have been presented at many theaters, including The Kitchen (NYC), Skidmore College (NY) and the Walker Arts Center (MN). She has an MFA in playwriting from Brooklyn College and she attended NYU/Gallatin as an undergraduate. As an NYU freshman many years ago, she lived in Brittany Hall. She is just thrilled to get to come back as a Writing Affiliate.
