JERREY ROBERTS University of Massachusetts Head Coach Derek Kellogg shouts instructions during his team's win against Providence Dec. 28 at the Mullins Center.
AMHERST — When the University of Massachusetts men's basketball team walked off the floor at the Georgia Dome, people were disappointed. The coaches, players and fans all thought the Minutemen had a chance to beat Saint Louis that day.
Still, people thought that the experience would be good for this fairly young team with almost everyone coming back.
But there was no tournament the next year or the following year, or the year after that. Nobody realized that game was the end of an era.
From 1992 to 1998, the NCAA tournament was a permanent part of March at UMass. It was something passionate supporters scheduled vacations around and kept casual fans entertained until baseball season. People naively believed it would stay that way for the foreseeable future.
But for the next 15 seasons, Selection Sunday and bracket pools all came and went without the Minutemen being included. Before UMass' return to the dance this year, 238 schools participated, including all of UMass' most hated rivals during its time on the sideline.
It wasn't UMass' longest drought. The NCAA tournament started in 1939 and the Minutemen didn't qualify until 1962. Thirty years then passed until they made the 1992 tournament. But, with a field of 68 and a conference that gets multiple bids every year, 15 years is a long time.
No warning signs
There was no reason to suspect that the 1998-99 season would be any different from past seasons. In fact, expectations were high for coach Bruiser Flint and the Minutemen. The roster was stocked with key veterans Lari Ketner, Monty Mack, Charlton Clarke and Mike Babul. Only Tyrone Weeks was gone from the core of the 1997-98 squad. Weeks had been good, but losing his 10.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game didn't seem like reason to panic.
The optimism wasn't confined locally. UMass was ranked No. 24 in the preseason and No. 23 after beating Niagara in the season opener. But losses to a Ron Artest-led St. John's team, College of Charleston and Marshall knocked the Minutemen out of the poll and below .500.
They scrapped their way back to 8-8 and gained some optimism. The 1996-97 team started 2-9, but came together and earned itself an at-large bid to the NCAA field. To get to 8-8, UMass beat Saint Joseph's and Kansas and looked poised to make a run.
Instead, it lost four of the next five games and sputtered to the finish line at 14-16. It was the first year with no postseason of any kind since 1989.
During the offseason, factions grew in the athletic department between Flint and his supporters, and athletic director Bob Marcum and his. They clashed on the makeup of the schedule and what should be expected of the team. A 17-16 finish and an NIT berth in 2000 did nothing to ease the tensions.
Near misses
UMass spent several years on the NCAA tournament bubble during the drought. Only the selection committee knows how close the Minutemen came to making the field, but the committee had nothing to do with the first close call in 2001.
With Flint's job on the line, UMass stumbled to a 2-9 start making his firing seem inevitable at the start of conference play. But his players, who publicly talked about trying to save their coach's job, came together and went 11-5 in conference play. After beating St. Bonaventure in the Atlantic 10 tournament quarterfinals, UMass upset No. 21 Saint Joseph's to earn a date with Temple in the championship game, where an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament was on the line.
The Minutemen led 55-53 late when Kitwana Rhymer tripped chasing a rebound he didn't come up with. Without saying a word, he slapped the floor hard. He appeared to be frustrated at himself, but referee Donnie Gray called a technical foul.
Rhymer was stunned, Flint was furious and Temple was energized. The Owls surged to a 76-65 win.
Tears flowed in the locker room after the game and Flint was fired two days later.
Steve Lappas, Flint's replacement, never got his legs under him. His second recruiting class was centered around guard Mike Lasme and big man Stephen Briggs. But Lasme, who showed star potential at shooting guard, transferred after one season for a chance to play point guard. Lappas then kicked Briggs, who never played a game, off the team for off the court issues.
Their departures set Lappas back. After three straight losing seasons, the Minutemen showed progress in Lappas' fourth year finishing 16-12 with an upset of rival Connecticut. But fans had abandoned Lappas and even big games were played in a near empty Mullins Center. Athletic director John McCutcheon fired him after the 2005 season.
Life on the bubble
After leading Eastern Kentucky to an Ohio Valley Conference crown, Travis Ford was an up-and-coming coach and an outside-the-box hire when McCutcheon tabbed him to replace Lappas. The Kentucky native's only tie to Massachusetts was Rick Pitino, the UMass grad whom he'd played for at the University of Kentucky.
Ford restructured the roster quickly with transfers Gary Forbes, Luke Bonner and Etienne Brower, and went 13-15 in his first year. Those players joined Lappas holdovers Rashaun Freeman and Stephane Lasme to finish the 2006-07 regular season 23-7 and share first place in the Atlantic 10 at 13-3.
In most years, before and after, that would have been good enough for an NCAA bid. But the combination of a subpar Atlantic 10 and a weak nonconference schedule that included St. Francis, Jacksonville State, Savannah State, Central Connecticut and Yale, meant that the Minutemen entered the conference tournament on the bubble.
On the eve of the event, influenza swept through the Minuteman roster leaving much of the team sick and dehydrated. They stayed with Saint Louis for much of the game before falling in overtime.
Before the NCAA tournament field was announced, it was clear the Minutemen wouldn't be included. After seven years of no postseason, the National Invitation Tournament was embraced. UMass beat Alabama in overtime in the first round before falling to West Virginia.
After Lasme and Freeman graduated, Ford fully utilized his up-tempo, full-court pressure, run-and-gun system in 2007-08. UMass beat Syracuse and Boston College on the road during the regular season and spent most of the year as a team projected to make the NCAA tournament in Joe Lunardi's Bracketology predictions on ESPN.
A big part of the reason many fans were hesitant to believe that the 2013-14 UMass team had finally done enough to earn a bid, was the memory of 2008.
Ford's biggest nemeses at UMass were weak nonconference schedules and the Atlantic 10 tournament. Like the year before, the Minutemen didn't build enough equity before conference play and the Atlantic 10 tournament was a disaster.
Against Charlotte in the quarterfinal, UMass led by as many as 18 points in the second half, but collapsed. Only the selection committee knows if one more win would have sewed up a spot for the Minutemen, but without that win, they were left out again.
Despite its disappointment, UMass regrouped in the NIT and beat Syracuse and Florida to reach the finals at Madison Square Garden, where it fell to Ohio State. The run was enough to make Ford a popular candidate for coaching vacancies. He drew interest from Providence and Louisiana State before famously announcing he was staying. He and McCutcheon announced a new contract at the team banquet, but he never signed it. Enticed by a massive contract offer, Ford left for Oklahoma State.
Link to the past
Derek Kellogg was the point guard on UMass' NCAA teams from 1992-1995, and a rising star as a Memphis assistant coach under John Calipari, the architect behind those tournament trips. He was an easy choice to lead the program and energize the fan base.
Kellogg actually moved into Ford's house, but found the program's cupboards largely bare. Forbes, Brower and Dante Milligan graduated. Point guard Chris Lowe struggled in the dribble-drive motion offense that Kellogg brought with him.
Ricky Harris thrived and Tony Gaffney blossomed under Kellogg, but they didn't have enough help. The young players Ford had recruited proved incapable of competing at the Atlantic 10 level.
Of the recruits, only Gary Correia and Matt Hill, who spent much of his career injured and the rest as a reserve, completed four years. Trey Lang, who was once considered the prized piece in the class, quit basketball then returned as a seldom-used walk-on.
As he began the rebuilding process, Kellogg was under .500 each of his first two seasons (12-18, 12-20) and at .500 (15-15) in his third.
The arrival of point guard Chaz Williams, a Hofstra transfer, and Kellogg's decision to scrap the dribble-drive motion for an up-tempo attack similar to Ford's produced excellent results in 2011-12. UMass went 22-11 in the regular season but a soft schedule led to an RPI of 75 and no chance on Selection Sunday.
The Minutemen advanced to the NIT semifinals before bowing out against Stanford at Madison Square Garden.
The following season, UMass' bubble status differed depending on the bracketologist.
ESPN's Joe Lunardi had UMass just outside the field for most of last year, while CBS' Jerry Palm had them just inside. The Minutemen's biggest drawback was their lack of signature wins. They were 0-5 against the RPI's top 25 and just 2-7 against the top 50. They never proved they could beat a sure-fire tournament team.
Still, there was hope on Selection Sunday when the team gathered at Kellogg's home, but 68 names were called and UMass wasn't among them.
UMass earned another NIT bid, its fifth since 1998, but it seemed apparent quickly that the players' hearts weren't in it this time. Stony Brook pulled away in the second half, ending the Minutemen's run before it even got started.
The 2013-14 season represented a last shot of sorts. If UMass didn't earn a bid, Williams, Sampson Carter and Raphiael Putney would join Gary Forbes, Stephane Lasme, Rashaun Freeman, Ricky Harris and others in the club of great Minutemen who never played in the NCAA tournament.
Williams, who'd taken last year's exclusion particularly hard, pledged at the beginning of the season that the Minutemen would do well enough that there would be no doubt come Selection Sunday. There was nobody happier than Williams when "UMass" finally appeared on the screen to officially end the drought.
"Me and my teammates are truly blessed," Williams said. "We came in this year working tremendously hard for this moment."
Now that they're in, they will try to end another drought: it's been 18 years since UMass won a game in the tournament.
"Now we know we have work to do," Williams said.

I actually had started a shawl that turned out to be not wide enough. So I bound off., sewed the ends together and turned it into a cowl! Voila! Problem solved. This is as easy as you want to make it, just knit the entire thing or use some fancy stitches if you wish. I give you basic guidelines and a few simple rules and you run with it. Have fun!

What I wish I had known about Autism right after diagnosis
Posted Apr 02 2010 7:02am
Writing this post as April 2 is Autism awareness day –
Thanks to some of my online friends who have given me some of the advice – If you have any advice – please comment and I will add on to this post and make this post more robust and provide it as a link on the sidebar
Hopefully some parent with a newly diagnosed child will find this helpful
These are largely the opinions of me formed through my own experience , discussion with my DH, professionals and my online friends
Will my child ever talk ?
I believe most children will talk . The small percentage who don't - will also - given sufficient time and resources will be able to communicate meaningfully
Do not think of talking as the answer to all your problems though – My friends L says –
"when your child with autism talks . he will be a child with Autism who talks"
Another friend K adds "
So many parents, including me, hold talking as a holy grail, when in reality it's just another form of communication with an autistic child
In Autism the entire game is about communication
Embrace PECS, Sign language, written language ( if your child is hyperlexic ), augmentative device – whatever to communicate
Some people gave us some very bad advice that using PECS etc would slow down language –
Luckily other people and professionals helped out and we started using PECS ( now no longer really need them )
All these tools will help with the talking
Are children with ASD mentally handicapped or will they be Savants?
I think that many ( not all ) autistic children who are diagnosed with MR do so because of their problems with language.
They may not understand the questions being asked of them , they may not have the motivation to answer these questions and they may be distracted by their sensory reaction to the environment
Then there are problems with Processing Speed
And my personal opinion is that there is a lot of fear and anxiety in autistic children and this significantly slows things down. ( Temple Grandin says that the primary emotion in Autism is "fear")
In terms of Savant skills - there are the exceptional savants of course .
But one of the criteria for diagnosis which is stereotyped and restricted interest potentially could allow for unusual focus in one area. This ability to focus may be the source of excellence
And there will be most children who are neither Savants, nor have MR – like R
Will my child be okay ?
I used to ask neurologists etc about prognosis in the early days
But I don't think anyone can really answer this question.
I think R will be okay in his own way. ie he will be a good person - and I also hope he will be independent and self sufficient.
I think he will also be able to have loving relationships ( already does )
We have done best by keeping our eye on the big picture of what is important
Normal is not a goal we necessarily strive for
What should I not waste my time on?
1. Wondering what caused Autism ?
( secretly wondering if there was anything that you did to cause it )
All mothers, as Vici Forman says in "The lovely Life" ,believe that they can prevent anything bad from happening to their child if only they pay sufficient attention - - and you can start to wonder if its the coffee you drank while nursing , the baby einstein DVD's you pressed the replay button on etc etc )
This is simply not true and to always gauge yourself against the bar of the perfect parent you should have been will drain away your joy
2. Wonder whether Autism a good thing or a bad thing?
It does not matter.
Example a lot of times I have been asked the question "
would you take away R's Autism if you could"
This is the ultimate pointless question because the option is not on the table and never will be .
( Having said that if a fairy godmother granted me a wish – I would whisk away R's apraxia and his Sensory issues without missing a heartbeat. Like most parents I simply want the best odds for my child )
3. Constantly Researching the best method to help your child
Frankly all the methods have their pros and cons and its largely the quality and quantity of intervention that will make a difference.
A lot of the specialists will say that their method is the best or that you cannot combine two methods( - but I think you can in our case ABA has flowed quite well with Floortime)
While we learned and continued to learn a lot of Autism from all the specialists - there is only two people who are specialists in R -
Mum and dad !
The sort of therapy
appeals to you will depend a lot on your instincts.
And on your child
If you are a parent that is more a player with the child you may find Floortime /Sonrise or even Hanen or the Play Project appealing
If you are more of a parent-parent – you may want to first look at VB/ABA and RDI
Another really critical thing to look at is the resources available in your area –
Its tempting to want to do it all yourself – but I find that the hour in the evening that R has with his therapist is critical for me to sort things out , get dinner organize etc and then I can play with him after his therapist leaves .
Do the specialists know best
Depends upon the expert- - We have found WONDERFUL experts and some not so wonderful ones
Leaving it all to the therapists has dangers – nobody knows your child as well as you do
My friend D says "
I wish I knew that autism presented in many different flavors. That some kids did better with models/approaches other than ABA. "
M adds "
With a diagnosis of autism, its as if you've been given the job of CEO, CFO and COO of your child. You are in charge of a new kind of corporation within your family. You get to choose what vendors to work with, you get to choose what money to spend on those vendors, you choose how your child's activities will be structured. However, just like the executives of a corporation, all of your decisions need to be based on the facts on the ground, what's available and what's called for, in corporate speak, those Market Trends, but more importantly, you need to base your long and short term goals on the output and productivity of your child, what he's capable of today, and how you'd like to see him in the future, with the course corrections and the reorganizations that are so typical of big businesses. If you are too static and too staid in your course, your child will become disgruntled. If you are dynamic and ahead of the curve, you and your child with thrive"
Change your mindset from Recovery to Progress
I spend a whole lot of time looking for the magic bullet – read every "recovery" book
There are many books which describe the despair of the diagnosis – then the parent who searches out a method – Applies the method, sacrificing all, to the recovery of their child –
And then their child recovers
However I find there are many parents who also worked heroically whose child did not recover.
These parents are just as heroic- I know some heroes personally.
Its just that their stories are unwritten
Plus while these stories are inspiring – there is another implication which can be very damaging to your happiness.
This implication is that
if your child did not recover – clearly you did not do a good enough job
- this is a TERRIBLE thought to live with and is simply not true
DH and I tend to focus simply on Progress
One of my friends says that the definition of success is that you are battling a different battle this year than what you were battling last year
Very true
My good friend L's advice is "
Celebrate progress -Yes, it is progress, quit being so picky about it !!!"
Don't think your child not doing what
wanted for them is a bad thing necessarily
Another friend Kat says "
The biggest thing i have learned is that everything I held dear in my imagination about what I hoped for for my child was right only for me.
My child is not me and has a completely different life trajectory than I will."
PACE yourself
And be kind to yourself
Guilt , grief and anger are very bad companions on this journey
A positive outlook is CRITICAL for you and for your child and your spouse ( and your other children )
P says "
Next came the I'm going to do everything I can and research all the treatments and try everything. Then after 3 years of working my ass off he'll be "fine" or "cured" just like all the books say. Ha. The only thing I accomplished is burning myself out. I still haven't recovered. When they say it's a marathon and to pace yourself, they're not kidding!"
Another dear friend E says
"Don't let all the "warrior mom" stuff go to your head. Yeah, you will fight hard for your child, but lots of moms do that, not just those in the autism community. I learned how to be a fighter from my own mother, who had no special needs children."
What does my child REALLY have ? Is it Autism or something else?
Autism is a HUGE umbrella .
Don't be scared of the word
We found that its best to simply focus on what R needs- not what he has .
This will change over time – the challenges we needed to conquer in the beginning were for R to simply have some receptive language – then we discovered apraxia
C and T say "
Don't get caught up in the name - PDD, PDD-NOS, Mild, Moderate, Severe, High Functioning. It doesn't really matter. You have to look at your child and their needs and goals. The name doesn't really make a difference
There was this story about an autistic child who grew up and beat his mum to death ? Is that my future?
While there may be some autistic children who are violent and a danger to your safety - I have never met one !
Most of the autistic children and adults I know would not hurt a fly.
Its very important to not read horror stories and imagine that to be your future.
If this is indeed in the future - worrying about it will only
drain away your present of joy
- as my friend Mysh says .
If indeed this were to happen of course we will need to put safety first - but there is no necessity to anticipate this.
Another thing to remember is that aggression in toddlers and children does not equal aggression as adults
How to deal with the things people say
My friend E says "
Your child's autism can be an opportunity for strangers and loved ones to be incredibly insensitive. Try to see the difference between the people who are invincibly ignorant and the people who mean well but just don't get it. The former are incorrigible but the latter can be taught. Be patient and
understanding, just like you want people to be patient and understanding with your child. "
I personally have found many many wonderful people in my life because of Autism
Don't over pathologize
Your child is still a child
My friend D says "I
wish I knew from the start that he was there, that he was in there. He was present, full of emotion, and intelligent, even if he was puzzling to me.
I wish the time period immediately post-diagnosis where I stopped seeing him as a child and started seeing him as autism. …. I wish I had never done that"
A note on DAN
We do some DAN – again its not been a cure-all and we don't know how much of a difference it made but we wanted to make sure we gave R the best shot so we went to a DAN guy who is also a regular MD
Be careful of who you choose
A gem of a quote from my friend who is a doctor herself
"No, DAN! doctors are not immunologists, toxicologists, pediatricians, microbiologists bundled into one. For the most part they are family practitioners with a 2-day course who quit taking insurance. "
Is my family's life ruined ?
It really does not have to be .
Dh and I have found ourselves happier after autism than before autism – I have a whole bunch of posts on it in the sidebar on "How I found joy in life after autism "
Please don't misunderstand . I am NOT saying Autism is a good thing to happen to you .
All I am saying is that happiness and joy are very possible in life after autism –
I have found my life more enriched in many ways after autism.
Another gem from L
"-Shit happens. It could be so much worse."

You definitely become anti social with strattera I noticed it was more so. I was kind of sociopathic. I just stop caring about a lot of stuff. I could have probably seen someone beating a baby and said "meh whatever" that stuff tunes you out completely it's bad news. See my post above about what I think my cause for ADD is.

Front fascia is definitely over designed, and what's with those midget wheels! BMW is not usually bought for its looks and "premium" design accent. It is usually bought for its performance and agility.

Virgina Voter Integrity Group Links With NH
Sunday, May 11, 2014 at 04:46PM
Had to happen sooner or later:
CNHT tracked some voters here to Virgina but that state is hard to get information from.
Maybe now that will change.
Whenever you talk to another state about voter fraud the similarities are striking.
So there is a god possibility that the vote fraud itself, the lax enforcement, and ignored laws have an interstate connection. Working with other states is a good way to expose it.

Aug 23, 2010Unhappy couple get lost taking a short cut, car breaks down, stay at a motel in the middle of nowhere, strange owner, etc
It sort of tries to be a bit Hitchcock-esque with the torture genre thrown in but just comes out as a predictable, cliched nonsense of a film which is very thin on ideas & originality.
Shame really because I quite like Luke Wilson.
Nov 18, 2011Good acting, good pacing, well filmed and an interesting idea. Not that memorable though, I mean its not the kind of film you're gonna watch over and over again, or even twice. I'm only watching it again now as it happens to be on TV and I'm wondering why it doesn't blow me away. I think it's because it's so far fetched. View to a kill's starting now on another channel and I'll be switching over. Vacancy is THAT kind of movie… Expand
Dec 26, 2011To put it plain and simple, This is horror. Vacancy not only keeps you on the edge of your seat but it also manages to suck you in and keep you interested every step of the way. I loved it.
Mar 10, 2012Was actually pretty good. The cast was solid, The story was interesting. Its a good suspensful movie that is well worth the watch imo. I really liked it.
Jun 16, 2012Must resist 'Psycho' motel references. *cough* Oh, hi. I didn't see you there. Anywayz, 'Vacancy' is... well, rather average. It's not so much of a bad film as it is pretty boring. It neither expands the genre nor offers anything new or fresh. The acting performances were alright (at best) but these lead actors weren't exactly believable as a married couple which repelled me from further from enjoying the movie. The production values are cheap but that simply might have been the intention to further point out that this isn't the Hilton Hotel by any stretch.… Expand
May 1, 2013I honestly want to rate it higher, but I can not! This movie was a totally average thriller, that is not really better than any other boring, ''we have seen this before'' horror/thrillers. The actors were not that bad I have to mention that, but they were nothing outstanding...Maybe a rent worthy survival/slasher.
Nov 1, 2013Hungarian director Nimród Antal's debut was screened at the Prix Un Certain Regard of the Cannes Film Festival 2003 and with the suspense horror Vacancy, he establishes himself as a hope for future European independent cinema. This rather short Hitchock homage does have an A-list cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Luke Wilson, and Frank Whaley, but as we've seen well enough in the last couple of years, that alone doesn't make for a good horror movie. Vacancy proves otherwise though, and impresses with never-ending thrill, creditable and genuine acting, and a completely rational story.
After the nicely designed title sequence, the movie commences without any digressions, but it will take some time to completely grasp the situation. The screenplay deftly includes the needed information into the everyday dialogues of the two protagonists and knows just how much exposition is enough. Through that, the actual horror can quickly kick in and after not even 20 minutes, you'll already have goosebumps and hands tied to the chair. The macabre game can begin and a difficult to watch assemblage of snuff films is followed by a nocturnal chase through an isolated motel, which doesn't always omit clichés but conceals them through the director's original and unpredictable ideas. However, the greatest asset stays the almost unendurable suspense, which makes for such an uncomfortable viewing that on one side, you'll want to quit the movie and on the other, keeps you hooked in front of the TV.
The movie completely lays down all horror stereotypes in its final act by staging it in sunlight, and it may for a moment seem that it degenerates into the bizarre. Fortunately, that's not the case, and Antal stirs up a mysterious open end that is without equal. As the credits start in the style of the title sequence, you'll not only be relieved to stop shivering, but also exhilarated to have ultimately seen a really great horror movie.… Expand
Feb 15, 2014Vacancy is horrific, as well as scary, violent, and mysterious. It was okay, I'll say that. I had no complaints with this film but to me-- this film was just okay.
May 25, 2014The movie vacancy is not bad but i was expecting better because there was not enough action and when there was action Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale were always trying to escape.But i like it
Jul 16, 2014Vacancy is an intense thriller with stylish scares and visuals. Vacancy will surprise you and captivate
you with its refreshing style and plot. One of the best thrillers in years.
Jul 16, 2014Vacancy is a phenomenal thriller that is among the best of recent thrillers. Vacancy is as good as Phone
Booth, Identity, Orphan, Drag Me To Hell, Stoker and American Psycho. The movie has constant thrills,
twists and ingenuity. The opening credits and closing credits are also artfully done. The credits suit
the style of the movie, A+.
Jul 16, 2014Vacancy has very stylish suspense. The movie will have you on the edge of your seat until the finale.
The movie has many scenes where you can't predict the next scene. The suspense is very intense
given that most of the movie takes place at the motel. Usually the best thrillers work in one location,
or when the characters are confined to somewhere and they have to escape. Vacancy is a perfect
example of this type of suspense.… Expand
If "Psycho" and "Peeping Tom" are the seminal killer-as-voyeur movies, Vacancy is the nasty little runt offspring with no other purpose in life but to gnaw on you.
While the sadism doesn't stoop -- rise? -- to the level of the "Saw" horror-thrillers, Vacancy does have a name cast.
At the risk of spoiling anything, Vacancy, is one strange movie. It ends so precipitously, one can only assume it's a setup for the sequel (which, given all that happens, seems a mite unlikely).

Many thanks for your efforts, and those of your staff. I believe we spoke about ten days ago, when I called into the store to try and speak to a live person. You quickly got me pointed in the right direction and shortly thereafter, I was contacted by your staff and the matter handled. Of late, we have been dealing with numerous firms who have no one on staff, that appears to care about even the basics of customer service let alone, following through. This is clearly NOT the case with your company. I see your signature and title at the bottom of the message just received. Thank you for leading from the top, you have earned a customer for life! Thank you again!"

The state's grid manager says
that solar electricity production has more than doubled from 7 June 2013, when it
recorded 2,07GW of peak production. Output has more than quadrupled since summer
"This shows that California is
making remarkable progress in not only getting new resources approved and
connected to the grid, but making meaningful contributions in keeping the
lights on as well," CAISO chief executive Steve Berberich.
California has 5.23GW of
installed solar capacity, the most of any state.
Capacity from all renewable
sources make up about 15GW of CAISO's generation mix.

Leo Frett was not just up and out of his Severn home before the birds awoke. He was on an elliptical trainer in the gym by 5 a.m., putting in a couple of miles.
"I got my routine," said Frett, ticking off an exercise schedule that kept him on the move for a few hours before he arrived at work at 9 a.m., and a healthy diet.
Frett, 31, a civilian pet care employee, won the men's division title this month in Fort Meade's Dump Your Plump contest.
The two-month competition at the start of the year, open to service members, their families and people who work at the military post, is Fort Meade's annual battle of the bulge that's now in its fourth year. This year, 207 finishers lopped off 1,527 pounds, said Caitlin Harrington, who keeps track of the numbers.
But more eye-opening than the 51 pounds Frett dropped this year is what preceded it. In the 2011 challenge, which Frett signed up for on a whim, he shed 65 pounds. That made him last year's overall winner.
He did more than keep the weight off.
Though he cut back a little on his workouts at the post's Gaffney Fitness Center from last March through December, he maintained his healthier lifestyle and lost about 21 pounds during off-season.
Frett signed up for this year's program to motivate him to rid himself of more pounds. "It's a free program," he said. "I got nothing to lose but weight."
At 183 pounds, he's nearly 140 pounds lighter than he was 14 months ago.
"I don't want to see that 200 again," Frett said. "I feel better, I really do. I feel better about my appearance. I'm proud of myself. I have more energy. I am stronger and faster now at almost 32 than when I was 22."
Frett said he overhauled his lifestyle. He doesn't starve himself, though he does pine for chocolate chip cookies. Making baked chicken, vegetables and a baked potato at home instead of stuffing himself with fried chicken and french fries from a fast-food window — combined with exercise — has made the difference.
"I didn't count calories," he said.
Frett and the women's division winner met in a 5:30 a.m. spinning class at a gym last year, a class Frett didn't start until after last year's contest. Frett nagged Maricela Perez who had nearly dropped out of the spinning class during the fall and winter holidays, until she caved in and signed up for the competition.
The stay-at-home mother of three said she watched her portion sizes and caloric intake, planned her meals better and quit after-dinner munching.
Perez, 33, knocked 22 pounds from her 5-foot-1 frame and weighed 128 at the contest's end — just 3 pounds over her goal.
"I made a promise to myself that 2011 was my last 'fat' year. I can never go back to that, I really can't. I'd be cheating myself," said Perez, who said she still exercises daily. "I just had blood work done, and my levels were beyond great."
Starting in January, Perez and Frett saw each other three times a week as they worked out on treadmills or elliptical trainers, then went to spinning class. She added weight training, something Frett has adopted since the end of the competition.
He encouraged her at midday, sending snack-time "don't eat that" texts.
"It makes the whole competition a little bit lighter and a little bit more fun," Perez said. "Plus, he took it seriously. I told him, 'I'm going to do this, and I am going to win'. I didn't believe it until I was in the lead."

Opportunity is just as important as talent level when it comes to evaluating a player's potential in your fantasy football league. And it's for this reason that it is anyone's guess how the incoming pool of 2014 rookies will fare. At the tight end position the learning curve is steep, which can limit the production of even the most tantalizing prospects across the board.
But as fantasy owners who played the game in 2013 can attest to, the tight end position was a crapshoot in the first place. Unless you had Jimmy Graham, Vernon Davis and Julius Thomas, you were having a headache each week. In fact, having the aforementioned didn't guarantee you wouldn't from time to time either. Because of that, we could see a few top-level tight end prospects get their chances sooner than later given how real the need is at the position.
The Big Three
Eric Ebron, North Carolina
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 250
40 time: 4.60
Bench Reps: 24
Vertical: 32.0"
Projected Selection: Top 15
Fantasy Outlook: He's not the biggest or even the most sure-handed prospect in the draft, but Ebron's athleticism and polish shines brighter than the rest of the field. He can line up anywhere and become the chess piece that is the desire of every offensive coordinator in the league. His acceleration is something to be truly marveled for a man of his size, able to find another gear in crossing routes and create separation along the seams. Tackling him once he finds that gear will be a tall order to ask of any defender. His drops seemed to result from a lack of concentration than anything else, and if that can be corrected, he has the potential to become a regular chain mover on third downs. If he gets drafted by a team willing to plug him in right away for 50 snaps per game, Ebron would be worth immediate top-12 consideration and would become a must-stash in dynasty formats. Because of the uncertainty revolving around the tight end position, fantasy owners may as well draft for upside. There's no doubt about Ebron's.
Jace Amaro, Texas Tech
Height: 6'5
Weight: 265
40 time: 4.74
Bench Reps: 28
Vertical: 33"
Projected Selection: Rounds 1-2
Fantasy Outlook: Amaro was the most productive tight end the country had ever seen in 2013, racking up 106 catches for a tight-end record total of 1,352 yards in 13 games. He was force-fed the ball in a pass-heavy scheme, but the volume of passes his way is warranted given what he could do once the ball was in his hands. Amaro is another classic "move" tight end that is capable of causing mismatches across the formation, but is in actuality less of a tight end and is more of a slot receiver. He doesn't boast the blocking ability that usually comes with the tight end position. That said, if he can make up for that by reaching his potential as a receiver, then the lack of blocking ability can be forgiven. If Amaro can get into a good situation and be snagged up by a team like the Patriots, Seahawks or Falcons, then he is a fringe TE1/TE2 in 12-team leagues. The ability to produce is there.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
Height: 6'6
Weight: 262
Bench Reps: 20
Projected Selection: Rounds 2-3
Fantasy Outlook: Seferian-Jenkins sat out of several drills at the combine and did not participate in his pro day due to a foot injury. Despite that, Seferian-Jenkins has the look of the most physically imposing tight end in the draft who can immediately contribute as a red-zone and goal-line threat. His impressive frame and concentration will win him a few jump balls in the end zone at the professional level. It's a skill set that every team could use, but it's fair to question how he will fare between the 20s. He has adequate burst off of the snap and is a capable route runner, although he can be a bit clumsy once the ball is in his hands. Depending on where he is drafted, Seferian-Jenkins could have the bulk of his workload happening inside the red zone to start his career. In the right offense, that's enough to be a good plug and play from week to week (see: Joseph Fauria in 2013), but it would be tough to rely on any consistency in that role. In any situation his skill set is enough to warrant a stash in dynasty leagues, and warrants TE2 consideration in 10-to-12 team redrafts.
Other Notables
Troy Niklas, Notre Dame
Height: 6'7
Weight: 270
40 time: DNP (abdominal injury)
Bench Reps: 27
Vertical: 32"
Projected Selection: Rounds 2-3
Fantasy Outlook: Niklas is a mauler of a blocker who has the mold of a classic in-line tight end and then some. His skills as a receiver are still raw, but his size gives him the chance to win in situations where he doesn't have much space to work with. Having defenders blanketing him will be commonplace when he isn't being asked to maul them to create running lanes, but there isn't much to suggest a team will ask him to run enough routes to become fantasy relevant. He's worth a flier in dynasty leagues, but it's difficult to see him becoming a fantasy powerhouse anytime soon.
Colt Lyerla, Oregon
Height: 6'4
Weight: 242
40 time: 4.61
Bench Reps: 15
Vertical: 39"
Projected Selection: Rounds 5-7
Fantasy Outlook: His off-the-field issues are well documented and will ultimately be the reason he plummets down draft boards. It's a shame, because Lyerla has the tools to be a complete tight end. His overall technique remains raw, but the athleticism is enough to entice organizations to take a low-risk investment in him. Fantasy owners could do worse by doing the same, but anything he contributes should be viewed as a bonus. In other words, he has the potential to become a real contributor, but it's about as far from a guarantee as you can get.
C.J. Fiedorowicz
Height: 6'6
Weight: 265
40 time: 4.76
Bench Reps: 25
Vertical: 31.5"
Projected Selection: Rounds 3-4
Fantasy Outlook: When scouts say that a player looks the part of a tight end, a guy like Fiedorowicz with his 6'5 frame comes to mind. He is a reliable blocker and in-line tight end, but he lacks the ceiling to be a true difference-maker in the realms of fantasy football. He projects to be a reliable role player that every NFL team could use, but the same can't be said in fantasy leagues. If he goes to a team that has a barren depth chart at the tight end position then he's worth a look, but not otherwise.

Facebook, Netflix, Google, Microsoft and more send powerful net neutrality letter to the government
Politicians might not understand the finer points of net neutrality, but they have heard of Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
That's why over 100 of the biggest tech companies in the world banded together on Wednesday to send a letter to the Federal Communications Commission. The agency is currently debating net neutrality regulations, which many fear will allow Internet service providers (ISPs) to arbitrarily hike up their prices. Theoretically, these telecoms would be able to offer a tiered service to websites, charging them more money for faster service.

Barbara [2012] - Set in 1980 of the country side of East Germany. Barbara is a doctor who was sent to the small country hospital after applying for the exit visa to leave the godforsaken communist state…
my favorite scene of this great movie involves the famous painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by the Dutch painter named Rembrandt
Andre- I'd like to go to The Hague. That's where the Rembrandt is. Didn't you notice anything? The painting. The man lying there is Aris Kindt. He's just been hanged for theft. It's Doctor Tulp giving the anatomy lesson.
Barbara- They should have cut open the abdomen first. But they dissected the left hand instead. There's a mistake. The hand is wrong. It's the opposite one. It's the right hand and it's too large.
Andre- I don't think Rembrandt made a mistake. You see the atlas? It's an anatomy atlas. They're all staring at it. He is, he is, they all are. And the hand is painted like a depiction in the atlas. Rembrandt includes something that we can't see, only they can: the depiction of the hand. Due to this mistake we no longer look through the doctor's eyes. We see him, Aris Kindt. The victim. We are with him, not with them.
Just finished watching the documentary called Ai Wei Wei: Never Sorry.
This man is another great example of how can a simple idea can spark a catalysis affect within people to demand change & justice against the machine.
That happens to be the biggest that to the Chinese communist party because their propaganda is useless to those who have awoken.
Also the Jasmine revolution/Arab spring have all started with the idea which then toppled several tyranny regimes by the people. That's the power of idea and people.
Lastly I hope Liu Xiaobo will be freed from the prison. He's the winner of Nobel peace prize of 2010.
A writer who demanded justice, freedom, and change for the corrupted Chinese official's policies is currently imprisoned.

Yes, I am an American. The "gun culture" thing is greatly exaggerated by the foreign press. In Europe the aristocracy had guns ostensibly for hunting, a pastime reserved for the wealthy, while guns were kept out of the hands of the poorer classes. We have guns in the U.S. because no rich man has ever dared take them from us.
'Maybe it's impossible for a man like you to understand. But having a respect for my life, a desire for freedom, and an unyielding love for that belief means I can see past any doubts I may have. Putting my life on the line is not just the only thing I can do, Dom. It's the right thing.'

The Cyprus government is investigating whether any of the 18 disgraced Ukrainian political figures and their family members maintained illicit funds on the island.
This follows EU decisions to freeze the assets of 18 Ukrainians, including former President Victor Yanukovych and former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, who have been identified as responsible for the misappropriation of Ukrainian state funds and for human rights violations in Ukraine.
A meeting held at the Foreign Ministry looked into this issue, with the participation of officials from the Foreign Ministry, the Central Bank of Cyprus and the Unit for Combating Money Laundering (MOKAS).
Foreign Minister Ioanis Kasoulides said after the meeting that "there may be one or two suspect accounts" in Cyprus, and that the authorities are looking into them.
In any case, Kasoulides said, all funds in Cyprus have been frozen after the Eurogroup-imposed bailout and capital controls from last year.
However, he added that the government would need court permission to impose sanctions on any funds, either of former Ukrainian officials or their family members.

When grandpa Horst walked into the Best Friends adoption center, a cat with only one eye caught his attention. Just like the cat, grandpa Horst can only see through one eye.
"Horst and Mimi bonded at the Best Friends Pet Adoption Center in Salt Lake City just a few weeks ago," Best Friends Animal Society – Utah wrote. After meeting Mimi, he knew right away that that was the cat for him.
"You can't see out of your right eye, and I can't see out of my left, but together we can see the world," Horst said to his furry companion in his home in Colorado.
"My grandfather and Mimi are truly happy together! I haven't seen him this happy in years," said Horst's granddaughter Heather.

Teen creates bio-plastic from banana peels
Sixteen-year-old Elif Bilgin of Turkey has developed a way to replace traditional petroleum-based plastic with banana peels.
The Turkish teen took home a US$50,000 prize for her project "Go Bananas!" Thursday after winning the second annual Scientific American Science in Action Award, associated with Google Science Fair.
"My project makes it possible to use banana peels, a waste material which is thrown away almost every day, in the electrical insulation of cables," Bilgin said in a media statement.
"This is both an extremely nature-friendly and cheap process, which has the potential to decrease the amount of pollution created due to the use of plastics, which contain petroleum derivatives."
Bilgin spent two years developing the bio-plastic, which does not decay. She said the process is so easy that it is possible to repeat at home, with special care taken for chemicals used in the production process.
In September, the teen will compete at Google's California headquarters for the overall Google Science Fair prize for 15-to-16 year olds. She will also have access to a one-year mentorship.
Has anyone else noticed how many brilliant breakthroughs in science are coming from the minds of teenage girls the last few years? Between this story, the four girls in Nigeria who invented a generator that runs on urine, the California girl who invented a twenty-second cell phone charger… Who knows where we'd be today without the patriarchal interference of men, stealing or hiding the brilliance of women?
Our future is in the hands of teenage girls, and I for one feel really good about that.
When I was about 7 I wanted to invent a thing that purified water based off of fish gills. I went to the school library to do research like a good little inventor and one of my teachers asked me what I was doing, and then told me that there were some new barbie books in, and that I'd probably be better off with those.
Don't forget the girl who invented a torch that'd light up just from the heat of your hands
basically everyone should stop s***ting on teenage girls because they do awesome things when you let them
or that one time a girl found the cure for cancer that we could be using in 15 years
But nah, girls and women just suck at math and science and have never invented anything worthwhile. Sure. Right.
What fucks me up about the Darren Wilson fundraiser is that he hasn't been charged with a crime. He doesn't have to hire a lawyer. He's on paid leave, so he's not losing wages. This is not covering his expenses, because he doesn't have any additional expenses. This is a reward. He's getting a $250,000 reward for murdering an unarmed black kid.
None of this is true. This is how good the Ferguson PD's smear campaign has been. Not one sentence here is accurate. Let's break this down:
- "HE HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL." Michael Brown's autopsy showed no sign of struggle.The picture of the CT scan that's being passed around to show that Wilson had an orbital blowout fracture is actually from 2008 from the University of Iowa, and a right-wing pundit photoshopped out the date and hospital info.
- "MIKE REACHED FOR HIS GUN." Officer Wilson's story is that the first shot that went off was an accidental discharge while they were fighting over the gun. However. there was no gunpowder residue on Mike Brown, meaning that he was absolutely not holding the gun when it went off and furthermore that he was not even that close. He was fired on from a distance.
- "HIS FRIEND THAT WAS WITH HIM EVEN ADMITTED THAT HE LIED ABOUT THE COP JUST RANDOMLY SHOOTING HIM AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY ROBBED THE STORE." This is actually a compound lie, which is kind of impressive. His friend, Dorian Johnson, did not say that. His lawyer said they were together in the convenience store, the police said there was a robbery, and the media put those two statements next to each other to imply a statement was made that never was. Johnson isn't being charged with anything because the Ferguson PD "determined he committed no crime." The Ferguson PD also admitted Officer Wilson didn't know about the scuffle at the convenience store before he stopped Brown and Johnson. You may be wondering why I say scuffle instead of robbery. That's because there wasn't one: the owners of the store didn't call the police and video shows Brown paying for the cigarillos! The clerk confronted Brown about reaching across the counter instead of waiting for him to hand over the cigarillos, he put his hand on Brown, and Brown pushed him. Yes, he pushed him too hard, but the clerk apparently didn't care enough to call the police. The police were called by another customer in the store, who apparently didn't know what was actually happening.
- "SELF DEFESE." The autopsy shows that he was shot on the inside of his arm, meaning his hands were up, and the top of his head, meaning that, since Brown was 6'4", either he was on his knees or the officer was 8' tall. The officer was not 8' tall.
The evidence clearly shows that Officer Wilson, who had no idea of the not-actually-a-robbery, executed the unarmed Mike Brown while he was on his knees with his hands in the air. Just like all of the eyewitnesses said (except for "Josie," who turned out not to be real).
But the Ferguson PD's already tainted public opinion. They've spread so many lies so effectively that no amount of evidence will bring justice. Your ignorance here is proof of just how effective it's been.
Chris Evans is really important to me and here are two reasons why just in case someone forgot
