Homer sees where Lord God King Roger Goodell fined that bad man Robison of the Minnesota Vikings 20-thousand dollars for kicking that guy on the Vikings in his groin. Apparently, the Viking guy and his package were not injured.
That's twice what Goodell fined Troy Polamalu, for using a cell phone to tell his wife that he was okay - after Polamalu suffered a head injury and had concussion-like symptoms.
So, if it costs ten thousand dollars to talk to your wife, and twenty thousand to kick a Packer in his pecker, Homer wonders how much it would cost to kick Goodell in his junk. As our friends at Mastercard point out, some things are simply priceless.
Any thoughts, gang? Please be as immature as you like, but do remember that respectable ladies and children read what you write. So keep the obscenity to only what is necessary for this important topic.

Cincinnati Bengals
Robert Geathers - #91 - DE
|6' 3"/ 280 lbs.
|Georgetown, SC
|Years played
|2004, 4th round, 21st pick by Bengals
T.O. violates league policy by tweeting one hour before game
The league has reason to fine WR Terrell Owens before his Week Five game against the Buccaneers even begins.
Bengals WR Shipley out for Sunday; WR Ochocinco probable
The Bengals have ruled out rookie WR Jordan Shipley for Sunday's game against the Bucs. Shipley suffered a concussion in Week Four after a hit from Browns S T.J. Ward.
Bengals' ground game off-stride
Through one-quarter of the season, the Bengals were still searching for answers for their running game.
T.O. proves he can still excel in right situation
The circumstances set up perfectly for Bengals WR Terrell Owens in Sunday's contest, and he responded with a vintage outing.
Brown hold on for 23-20 win over Bengals
The Browns finally held on to a fourth-quarter lead, surviving a big day by Terrell Owens for their first win, 23-20 over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Bengals' passing game off to slow start
The Bengals' passing game is again trying to find its rhythm, even after several offseason moves made with an eye on the attack hitting the high notes of old.
Bengals pull away to beat Panthers 20-7
Cedric Benson scored a pair of TDs in the Bengals' 20-7 victory over the Panthers on Sunday to spoil Jimmy Clausen's first NFL start.
PK Nugent hitting his stride again
In PK Mike Nugent, Bengals special-teams coach Darrin Simmons sees someone driven to recapture his past form.
Nugent kicks Bengals past Baltimore
Mike Nugent made a career-high five kicks, two of them in the closing minutes Sunday, and Cincinnati's up-to-the-challenge defense made it hold up for a 15-10 victory over the Ravens.
Bengals avoid blackout for home opener
The Bengals announced Thursday that they have avoided a blackout for Sunday's home opener against the Ravens. The game has been declared a sellout.
Bengals' pass rush disappoints, remains area to watch
The Bengals, who notched at least one sack in 14-of-16 regular-season games last season, didn't record a sack in Week One in a humbing loss to New England, raising concerns about their pass rush.
Palmer-to-Ocho still the connection in Cincy
When Terrell Owens signed with the Bengals this offseason, he and Chad Ochocinco deemed themselves "Batman and Robin." But in Week One, it was the Boy Wonder who outshined the Caped Crusader.
Brady, Welker produce as Pats beat Bengals 38-24
Tom Brady threw two of his three touchdown passes to Wes Welker, who returned from a serious knee injury, and led the New England Patriots to a 38-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Bengals DE Odom appealing four-game suspension
Bengals DE Antwan Odom admitted on his Twitter page that he has tested positive for a banned substance but that he is appealing the league-mandated four-game suspension.
Ohio senator asks Goodell to reconsider blackout policy
Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asking him to reconsider the league's blackout policy.
The Bengals signed Geathers to a contract extension.||||||| Geathers has spent all of his nine seasons in Cincinnati, making him the longest-tenured Bengal. He had 3 1/2 sacks.
The Bengals placed Geathers on injured reserve Monday with a knee injury.||||||| Geathers had recorded 38 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in 11 starts with the Bengals before suffering the injury.
Geathers, a fourth-round draft pick from Georgia in 2004, signed a six-year extension Thursday that will pay him $14 million next season in various bonuses and salary, making him one of the team's top-paid players. He can earn $32.5 million in salary and bonuses over the six-year deal. His 10.5 sacks were the most by a Bengals player since Eddie Edwards had 13 sacks in 1983.||||||| Now that Geathers is signed, the Bengals have to decide what to do with defensive end Justin Smith, who is a free agent. Smith has led the line in tackles in each of the last five seasons, and finished second to Geathers with 7.5 sacks last season.
The NFL said on Wednesday it wouldn't discipline Geathers for his hit on Kansas City quarterback Trent Green during Cincinnati's 23-10 victory on Sunday. Geathers' shoulder collided with Green's helmet, causing the quarterback's head to snap against the turf. He'll miss at least the next couple of weeks. The NFL said the injury was not a foul.||||||| Geathers, who lost his starting spot, but remains a pass-rushing threat, wanted to handle the situation professionally. His teammates backed him up, saying he was not a dirty player. The Bengals play Cleveland this Sunday, with Geathers expected to resume his pass-rushing role.

Thomasville - Brigitte Mercer is sick. She says, "First you feel sorry for yourself, then you hide it because there's such a stigma thing."
She has a disease, one she's been struggling with for more than 20 years. "Maybe I thought I was strong enough, I thought I could handle it all by myself," says Brigitte. But finally she realized the depression she was trying to overcome, was taking over her life, and she decided to find help.
Renee Hansard says, "It makes it very hard for people to actually seek help, because they see it maybe as a character flaw, or a sign of weakness, when in reality, it is a definite medical illness that they need treatment for."
Hansard is President of The Southwest Georgia Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance. Thursday, they held free screenings for people who struggle with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, and they taught people like Brigitte how they can treat their illness.
Brigitte says, "Go anywhere and ask and talk and learn all about it, don't hide it." And she says to never give up hope. "Hopefully, one day everything will fall back into place and if not then, I'll keep coming to places like this and I'll get my strength for another day, another week, another month." Strength that maybe one day, she'll be able to pass on to others.
The screenings are Thursday from 2:30 PM until 7:30 PM at First Presbyterian Church in Thomasville.

We visited Twyford Wood on 16/05/14 hoping to find out information about where in the wood we could find grizzled skipper as two of the people in our group are members of Butterfly Conservation. We were unable to find out any information about where in the wood the Butterflies are. We understand that there are two areas (or small reserves) within the woodland but could find no information as to where in the wood they are.Owing to time constraints we had to leave without any information at all. wher can we find information as to the location of the reserve areas.

No injuries were reported after an early-morning fire gutted an Echo Park house at the corner of Scott and Lake Shore avenues. Three people were inside the one-story bungalow when the fire was reported shortly before 2 a.m., according to ABC7. The fire was believed to have started inside the home, which was built in 1919, but a cause has not been determined.

Passed by it this morning. What a shame, such a nice house. Hope they have insurance.
oh no. i loved this house. hope everyone is alright.
If they need money to help fix their home back to its original charm, Im all in for a donation of some sort. thats what a community should do right in times like this? to help each other out when disasters strike everyone should pull together, and let them know they live in a great community that loos out for each outher.
(For the record, the "James" who wrote the above comment isn't the same "James" who usually comments on the Eastsider – yours truly. I know this sounds snotty, but if there are spelling errors in the post, I probably didn't write it. That said, I'm sorry to hear this happened and I hope the homeowners/inhabitants are all okay and have decent fire insurance.)
Erudite James – with such a common name you seriously need to consider updating or clarifying your moniker. It's super simple.
well thanks for clarifying that big ol mess snotty james, since you feel the need like anyone cares which james wrote what, except you I guess…Get over your self dood ditto on what epgirl wrote.
Tienes insurance?
No one cares about you snotty James! No one cares about the illiterate James either! Change your name then for Christ sake! (it took everything to not write that in all caps!)
Awwww sorry to hear this. I go by that area all the time. They have been working on that house for a while. Hope everyone is ok.
Aw MEENO !!!!!!
Memories !
who's meeno
This is horrible. Such a shame to see a vintage building go to such utter waste.
shame – i have nice memories of the time i spent with meeno and jacob in '98…
What a shame! They did a really nice job of fixing up those two bungalows a few years ago; I hope the insurance money will allow them to restore or rebuild.

So I signed up for the cheap version of league pass broadband this year, and it forces you to pick 7 teams whose games you can follow through out the regular system. I think I have to decide before I can launch it.
It poses an interesting conundrum. I know I'll be selecting the Bulls, but what about the other 6.? Do I pick teams that I think will be fun to watch? Do I pick teams that I anticipate the Bulls will be fighting with for seeding late in the season? Do I pick the teams that I think will do the best? Should I pick teams that have former Bulls I'm still invested in (even if their terrible)?
It probably doesn't matter too much, I really just bought it for the Bulls.
Any one else buy this package? What are your 7 teams? Even if you aren't buying the package if you did what would they be?
Here are mine:
[I'm not even considering the Celtics because i'm in their viewing area]
1.) Bulls (obviously)
2.) Miami - they'll either play really great basketball I won't want to miss or at the very least it should be fun tuning in and rooting against them.
3.) OKC - Really good and they play a fun brand of basketball.
4.) L.A. Clippers - They have a bunch of young players and they might really improve this year. The Blake Griffin ROY chase should be worth the price of admission. Vinny could prove that having next to no coach is a significant upgrade on Dunleavy. Plus I want to make sure I have a few West Coast teams in case I want to catch a game after the Bulls game ends.
5.) Bucks - Decent chance Bulls will be fighting with them for playoff seeding at the end of the season which will make their gamers extra interesting. There is always the chance Jennings will make the jump.
6.) Houston - They've got a lot of talent and I'm hoping Morey swings a sweet deal to make the team more interesting before the deadline. Besides, I need to get my Bradass fix.
7.) Bullets - Wall, Arenas and the Captain. It will be fun watching Wall develop.
Some teams I had a hard time leaving off:
Lakers - I'm counting on them being all over ESPN and TNT being defending champs and all
Bobcats - I always like checking in on TT and the Bulls had a pretty good seeding fight with them last year... but I think they lost too much this off season and will fall off.
Suns - Nash and a bunch of SF might be interesting but they could also be so bad that they are boring.

You will be thrilled to know that way out in Ephrata, WA they have had gigabit fiber to the home for 14 years, and in gritty Tacoma just south Click! Network sells 100mbps Internet - both through the power utility. But in Seattle, no. Not you. Those power utilities were grandfathered in from before the Qwest/Comcast Protection Act was made a stare law. That is why internet technology in Washington is almost exactly backward: high speed in rural areas, dialup in Seattle and the capital.
Incidentally, I caught a guy pulling underground fiber in my neighborhood recently and grilled him. Apparently we are finally scheduled for fiber to the home Real Soon Now. The guy said the company "wanted it done yesterday" and that they were definitely bringing fiber to the homes where my home is. Hopefully it will be with a decent company. I didn't recognize the name of the company but apparently they are going to lease it out anyway.

Gainesville wide receiver Jay Gaudlock has made the offseason decision of coach Bruce Miller look like a stroke of genius.
Chestatee tight end Noah Baxter put it simply when describing the implications of Friday's state playoff game against Sandy Creek.
When Dalton Whitfield broke his jaw in White County's Week 4 loss to Blessed Trinity last season, he was forced to sit out the Warriors' final seven games.
Second-round football playoff tickets for Gainesville's game against South Paulding will be on sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday in the school's front office.
Of the 10 area teams that opened the state playoffs on Friday, only half managed to avoid elimination.
RINGGOLD - Call it courage. Or justice, or karma, or law of averages, or maybe big dumb luck.
CARTERSVILLE - Top-seeded Cartersville came into its first-round playoff matchup with West Hall ranked No. 2 in the state with a perfect 10-0 record and an average margin of victory of more than 40 points per game.
Gainesville coach Bruce Miller wasted little time congratulating his defense for a job well done after it held on for a 28-14 victory against M.L. King and the big passing arm of its quarterback, Roland Rivers, on Friday at City Park Stadium.
For the second straight year, homefield advantage and a higher seeding didn't provide any help for Flowery Branch.
Chestatee overcame a shaky opening quarter and ended up making history on Friday night at War Eagles Stadium.
CLEVELAND - The No. 2-seed White County Warriors defeated the no. 3-seed Adairsville Tigers 52-28 on Friday night in the first round of the state AAA playoffs.
Jefferson opened its Class AA state title defense Friday night with a 28-0 win over Westminster in the first round of the state playoffs.
BUFORD - The offense that moved with ease all year did so again. The defense that gave up yards grudgingly throughout the regular season was just as stingy in the first round of the state playoffs.
Union County ended its season with a 6-5 record after a 56-21 to Lovett, the No. 1 seed from Region 6-AA, in the first round of the state playoffs on Friday night.
Blessed Trinity defeated Jackson County 41-14 in their first-round Class AAA state playoff game Friday in Roswell.
Of all the things Chase Sims remembers from the Battle of Oakwood last year, his first game as a member of Johnson's varsity roster, it was the noise that stuck with him the most.
Gainesville at Grayson
Week 0 gave area football fans a taste of what is to come this season, highlighted by a nationally-televised defensive battle between No. 1 Buford and Trinity Christian Academy of Jacksonville, Fla.
BUFORD - Top-ranked Buford didn't waste any time Saturday night.
Jess Simpson knew that if he was going to schedule a season opener worthy of his zealous fan base, he better schedule the best team he could.
JEFFERSON – Jefferson's season started off about as flawless as any team could hope for.
DANIELSVILLE - Early turnovers put Johnson in a hole that it never found a way out of against Madison County.
Chestatee lineman Matthew Pruitt couldn't see teammate Kris Pierce bring a 55-yard interception back for a touchdown halfway through the third quarter of Thursday's scrimmage against East Hall.
The spring workouts wrapped up long ago. The summer conditioning program is through. Preseason tests are out of the way.

Three juveniles have been detained in connection with the bomb threat reported Monday to Newton Community High School.
Two of the individuals were apprehended Monday night and the third was detained Tuesday morning. All three are being held at Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center in Benton and are charged with Disorderly Conduct.
Jasper County Sheriff Ed Francis said all three juveniles are students at NCHS.
Newton Mayor Mark Bolander said the three individuals may be surprised at the criminal charges that are being leveled against them.
"Typically, no one realizes how serious this is until they're saying 'what, a felony?" he said. "This is a very serious thing."
Jasper County Superintendent Dan Cox said he is referring all witnesses and evidence to Newton Police Department but that he was mainly concerned with the students well being at the time of the incident.
"You always wonder how evacuating over 600 students is going to go," he said. "The police, fire department and St. Thomas, who opened their doors to us, all were wonderful. My big concern was seeing if the school was clear and if students could come and get their belongings."
Cox said the incident is allowing the school to examine their emergency plans and protocols and seeing what could be done differently in the future to guarantee student safety.
"It's always a good opportunity to see what works well and what doesn't work well," he said. "It's not black and white and if we're going to err somewhere, we're going to err on the side of student safety."
Cox said he also wanted to commend the students for their cooperation during the evacuation.
"I can't stress enough that in an incident like this where over 600 students need to get out of the cooperation that we need the students," he said. "Their cooperation and listening and the help from the teachers were outstanding . If they don't know what they need to do and aren't staying calm and following directions, it doesn't go smoothly. I can't thank people enough for their cooperation at that moment."
Cox said in the future, the district will be cooperating with agents from various first responding agencies on how the school can more effectively deal with emergencies.
The three juveniles will appear at 11 a.m. Wednesday before the Jasper County Court. Investigation into the incident is still ongoing.

He's only six months older than Cedeno, and while Ronny has improved defensively this year and even with his plate discipline, Hardy is infinitely better with the bat. This McKenry, Cedeno, pitcher sequence in our batting order is so insanely depressing. 298/365/516 vs 226/281/321. The fact that JJ's OB% is 45 points higher than Ronny's SLUG% says it all.

One-way anova: Planned comparisons of means
With a Model I anova, in addition to testing the overall heterogeneity among the means of more than two groups, it is often desirable to perform additional comparisons of subsets of the means. For example, let's say you have measured the height of the arch of the foot in athletes from nine women's teams: soccer, basketball, rugby, swimming, softball, volleyball, lacrosse, crew and cross-country. You might want to compare the mean of sports that involve a lot of jumping (basketball and volleyball) vs. all other sports. Or you might want to compare swimming vs. all other sports. Or you might want to compare soccer vs. basketball, since they involve similar amounts of running but different amounts of kicking. There are thousands of ways of dividing up nine groups into subsets, and if you do unplanned comparisons, you have to adjust your P-value to a much smaller number to take all the possible tests into account. It is better to plan a small number of interesting comparisons before you collect the data, because then it is not necessary to adjust the P-value for all the tests you didn't plan to do.
Orthogonal comparisons
It is best if your planned comparisons are orthogonal, because then you do not need to adjust the P-value at all. Orthogonal comparisons are those in which all of the comparisons are independent; you do not compare the same means to each other twice. Doing one comparison of soccer vs. basketball and one of swimming vs. cross-country would be orthogonal, as would soccer vs. basketball and soccer vs. swimming. Jumping sports (basketball and volleyball) vs. non-jumping sports (all others) and rugby vs. lacrosse and softball vs. crew would be three orthogonal comparisons. Jumping sports vs. non-jumping sports and volleyball vs. swimming would not be orthogonal, because the volleyball vs. swimming comparison is included in the jumping vs. non-jumping comparison. Non-ball sports (swimming, crew, cross-country) vs. ball sports and jumping vs. non-jumping would not be orthogonal, because swimming vs. volleyball, among several other pairs, would be included in both comparisons.
The degrees of freedom for each planned comparison is equal to the number of groups, after pooling, minus one. Thus the jumping vs. non-jumping comparison would have one degree of freedom, and non-jumping vs. basketball vs. volleyball would have two degrees of freedom. The maximum total number of degrees of freedom for a set of orthogonal comparisons is the numerator degrees of freedom for the original anova (the original number of groups minus one). You do not need to do a full set of orthogonal comparisons; in this example, you might want to do jumping vs. non-jumping, then stop. Here is an example of a full set of orthogonal comparisons for the sport example; note that the degrees of freedom add up to eight, the number of original groups minus one.
- Jumping (basketball and volleyball) vs. non-jumping sports; 1 d.f.
- Basketball vs. volleyball; 1 d.f.
- Soccer+rugby+lacrosse+softball (ball sports) vs. swimming vs. crew vs. cross-country; 3 d.f.
- Rugby+lacrosse+softball (non-kicking sports) vs. soccer; 1 d.f.
- Rugby vs. lacrosse vs. softball; 2 d.f.
To perform a planned comparison, you simply perform an anova on the pooled data. If you have a spreadsheet with the foot arch data from nine sports teams in nine columns, and you want to do jumping sports vs. non-jumping sports as a planned comparsion, simply copy the volleyball data from one column and paste it at the bottom of the basketball column. Then combine all of the data from the other sports into a single column. The resulting P-value is the correct value to use for the planned comparison.
Non-orthogonal comparisons
Sometimes the hypotheses you are interested in make it necessary to do non-orthogonal planned comparisons. For example, you might want to do jumping vs. non-jumping sports, ball sports vs. non-ball sports, swimming vs. crew, and soccer vs. all other sports. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the P-values downward to account for the multiple tests you are doing.
To understand why this is necessary, imagine that you did 100 planned comparisons on the sports data set. Under the null hypothesis that the means were homogeneous, you would expect about 5 of the comparisons to be "significant" at the p<0.05 level. This is what p<0.05 means, after all: 5% of the time you get a "significant" result even though the null hypothesis is true. Clearly it would be a mistake to consider those 5 comparisons that happen to have P<0.05 to be significant rejections of the particular null hypotheses that each comparison tests. Instead you want to use a lower alpha, so the overall probability is less than 0.05 that the set of planned comparisons includes one with a P-value less than the adjusted alpha.
The sequential Dunn–Sidák method is one good way to adjust alpha levels for planned, non-orthogonal comparisons. First, the P-values from the different comparisons are put in order from smallest to largest. If there are k comparisons, the smallest P-value must be less than 1-(1-alpha)1/k to be significant at the alpha level. Thus if there are four comparisons, the smallest P-value must be less than 1-(1-0.05)1/4=0.0127 to be significant at the 0.05 level. If it is not significant, the analysis stops. If the smallest P-value is significant, the next smallest P-value must be less than 1-(1-alpha)1/(k-1), which in this case would be 0.0170. If it is significant, the next P-value must be less than 1-(1-alpha)1/(k-2), and so on until one of the P-values is not significant.
Other techniques for adjusting the alpha are less powerful than the sequential method, but you will often see them in the literature and should therefore be aware of them. The Bonferroni method uses alpha/k as the adjusted alpha level, while the Dunn–Sidák method uses 1-(1-alpha)1/k. The difference between the Bonferroni and Dunn–Sidák adjusted alphas is quite small, so it usually wouldn't matter which you used. For example, the Bonferroni alpha for four comparisons is 0.0125, while the Dunn–Sidák is 0.0127. These are not sequential methods; the same adjusted alpha is used, no matter how many of the comparisons are significant.
Really important note about planned comparisons
Planned comparisons must be planned before you look at the data. If you look at some data, pick out an interesting comparison, then analyze it as if it were a planned comparison, you will be committing scientific fraud. For example, if you look at the mean arch heights for the nine sports, see that cross-country has the lowest mean and swimming has the highest mean, then compare just those two means, your P-value will be much too low. This is because there are 36 possible pairwise comparisons in a set of 9 means. You expect 5 percent, or 1 out of 20, tests to be "significant" at the P<0.05 level, even if all the data really fit the null hypothesis, so there's a good chance that the most extreme comparison in a set of 36 will have a P-value less than 0.05.
It would be acceptable to run a pilot experiment and plan your planned comparisons based on the results of the pilot experiment. However, if you do this you could not include the data from the pilot experiment in the analysis; you would have to limit your anova to the new data.
How to do the tests
To do a planned comparison using the one-way anova spreadsheet, just combine and delete data from the original data set to make a new data set with the comparison you want, then paste it into the anova spreadsheet. If you're moving data around within the anova spreadsheet, use the "copy" and "paste" commands to copy the data to the new destination, followed by "clear" to clear it from the original location; if you use the "cut" and "paste" commands, it will change the references in some of the formulas and mess things up. You might be better off doing your rearranging in a separate spreadsheet, then copying and pasting from there into the anova spreadsheet.
For example, look at the mussel shell data from the previous page. If one of your planned contrasts was "Oregon vs. North Pacific", you'd put the data from Newport, Oregon and Tillamook, Oregon into one column labelled "Oregon," put the data from Petersburg, Alaska and Magadan, Russia in a second column labelled "North Pacific," and delete the Tvarminne data. Putting these two columns of data into the anova spreadsheet gives F1, 31 = 5.31, P = 0.029, so you would conclude that there was a significant difference between the Oregon and North Pacific mussels.
To do non-orthogonal planned comparisons with the sequential Dunn–Sidák method, do each comparison and collect the P-values into a separate spreadsheet. Sort the P-values from smallest to largest, then see which ones meet the sequential Dunn–Sidák criteria described above.
Web pages
To do a planned comparison using a web page, just clear the web page (there's usually a button marked "Clear" or "Reset") and enter the data for whichever comparison you want to do. You may want to rearrange your data in a spreadsheet, then paste it into the web page.
To do planned comparisons in SAS, the simplest way would be to make a new data set in which you delete the lines you don't want, and give new group names to the lines you want to group together. For the mussel shell data from the previous page, if one of your planned contrasts was "Oregon vs. North Pacific", you could change "Newport" and "Tillamook" to "Oregon," change "Petersburg" and "Magadan" to "North_Pacific," and delete the Tvarminne data, then run PROC GLM on the modified data set. If you're experienced with SAS, you can figure out easier ways to do this, but this will work.

The Pistons are 11 games into the 2012-13 season with game number 12 coming up tonight at Orlando. The Pistons currently have a 2-9 record, the same record at this same point last year, and could conceivably be 3-9 after tonight's game. At the same time, they could conceivably be 2-10 after tonight. Regardless of if the Pistons win tonight or not, I think there is a rather specific route the Pistons should take for the rest of the season.
The two wins the Pistons have come at the expense of Philadelphia and Boston. These two teams were pegged by most people at the beginning of the year to be in the playoffs this year. Philadelphia currently has a 7-4 record after three straight wins after their loss to us. In their loss to us, Philly didn't have Bynum. But at the same time, they haven't had him in their three recent wins against Toronto, Cleveland and Utah. Boston currently has a 6-5 record, but when we played them, it was the fourth game in 5 nights, 5th game in 7 nights, for them. They are one of the older teams in the league (well top 10 at least). In our two wins, we've averaged 98.5 and won by an average of 19 points. So while I admit this sample may be tainted, I think the Pistons do show that if they played how they're capable of playing they could possibly make it to the playoffs.
Another thing to keep in mind is the change in the starting lineup. Is Singler the answer to all of our issues? No, but he provides a few things that have helped our starting unit out. Singler's ability to shoot from the outside has opened up the lane for Monroe. His ability to make great cuts to the basket has helped Monroe get more assists and keep his defenders off guard. His consistent movement and running of the floor has seemed to energized the starting lineup. So what Singler has provided is great, but I still think there is more that can be done to make the Pistons a playoff team, such as putting Drummond in the starting lineup or giving him more minutes (especially more alongside Monroe). However, I do not want the Pistons to make the playoffs.
1. Charlotte and the Draft Pick
I'm probably one of few that didn't mind giving up the draft pick to rid ourselves of Gordon. But when I originally thought like that it was because I saw potential in the team in making the playoffs and I knew this year's draft is pretty weak, so I figured "Why not give it up this year and get the team SOME playoff experience even if we're swept in the first round." Well, I have kind of changed my tune on this one.
I still think this draft isn't going to be very good, but I don't think it's necessarily going to be a horrible one. Even if just for backup purposes, the Pistons need to draft a PG. There may be no difference in quality of PG between pick 14 and pick 16, but then again there may be. Look at how Drummond is performing. You never know what could happen.
To probably everyone's surprise, Charlotte is currently 5-4 with wins over Dallas (.500), Indiana (0.417), Washington (.000), Minnesota (.556) and Milwaukee (.667). Kemba is playing like he did at UCONN, Sessions is being Ramony, Mullens is doing pretty decent, and they have six players averaging 11.7 PPG or more, including rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. So, if they were to continue this path and SOMEHOW make it to the playoffs, a lottery pick would only help them. I really don't want to help anyone in our conference.
2. Stay under the radar.
When a team stays under the radar and has cap room like we will this offseason, other teams are likely to bring you in on multiple team trades to facilitate bigger trades. Look at how Cleveland was trying to be used for the Dwight Howard trade and such. Now, I know this would require action from the Pistons front office, but this would be the BEST way to trade any vets that we need to to get rid of their contracts, veteran leadership, or other undesirable qualities they possess. If we're in a playoff hunt, even for the 8th seed, teams will know that we're looking for that piece, like we did with Rasheed, to push us harder. They won't want to help a team who could threaten their playoff hopes. No, teams won't come to us asking for Charlie because they want him, but they may be willing to take him to even out a three or more team trade.
3. Burn the rookies.
I've seen multiple people say that they'd rather see the rookies play more and lose than the veterans play more and lose. I think the main reason most people say this is because the rookies are more entertaining and because it will allow us to see who can do what and who we need to keep or drop. I agree with both of those reasons, but would like to add one more. According to HoopsHype, Drummond could be ours through the 2016-17 season on his rookie contract. Singler is only set up to be here through 2014-15. Singler is currently getting his burn and needs to keep doing so, even if we start losing again. All of us have said we want Drummond to have more minutes and be paired up with Monroe more since that is the supposed future of the team. Again, I agree with this assessment. But I think we should push it more than what will be the regular.
People have stated how the NBA season is the longest season of them all in terms of number of games. Drummond has one year of college, so what, 33 games? In High School he maybe played 20 games a year. So are we about to see him get tired from a much faster NBA in terms of schedule, pace of game, etc.? If so, I say so what. Allow him to play 35 minutes a game. Not for stats, not for wins, but for conditioning. There is no better conditioning for a rookie than an actual NBA game. Practice, scrimmage, run, be in the gym all you want. There is no conditioning better than the game. This will allow us, with Drummond and Singler, to know how well conditioned they are and what to expect from them next year, when I do want us to make the playoffs.
4. Roster Setup
As Joe D has stated, Frank has stated, and the fans have definitely stated, we believe Drummond and Monroe will be the future of this team. Joe D, and some of the players, have hopes that Brandon Knight is going to be the Pistons PG of the future, and maybe he can. He's had days that encourage us and days where we want to beat him with a sock full of butter. Everyone has said nothing but great things about Singler. They've even said during Summer League how they just didn't want to take him out of the game, he's that much of a multifaceted player. That's four of our five starting spots, and depending on where Singler finds his niche, at SG or SF, determines how we go into free agency and/or trade talks.
As I stated above, I think being the facilitator in trades is our best option in terms of shaping the team how we want it. I'll take first or second round draft picks for ANY year to get rid of Tayshaun (preferably to a contender), Charlie, Corey, Austin, Jason and Will. We can then use free agency to pick the veteran leadership that we want. And, depending on how well the young ones do together as a starting lineup, we could go after backups for cheap and/or one star. I envision a starting lineup of Knight, English, Singler, Monroe and Drummond. Not just because it'd be fun to watch, but it really fits. Knight has his shooters so he can get his assists. English and Singler can shoot from the outside which opens the lane for Knight if he drives or for Monroe and Drummond if we pass it down low. And it's a high energy lineup, so we could definitely speed up the pace of the game if we want. Then we'd have Middleton, Kravtsov, Jerebko and Stuckey as backups. Everyone's young, everyone's pretty fast, and the lineups fit. We'd only have to get backups.
Why it's not likely to happen.
The main reason probably, because people want to keep their jobs, is because of Gores saying he expects us to push for the playoffs. This is one thing that has kind of bothered me. Not the statement by itself, but how it makes our front office seem. You have Gores wanting to win now, and I don't necessarily blame him. But then you have Joe D and Frank talking about development within and building a team for a long run. Seems like two different methodologies and from experience, they can't live in the same household nicely.
Another reason why I don't see it working so much is because of the people I named that we could use to facilitate trades, their trade value is pretty low or non existent. Tayshaun and Maxiell have been playing pretty well and may have some trade value. But Austin, Will, Charlie and Corey don't have much trade value (other than expiring contracts). Because of that, I think Frank is being lead to play some of these players in hopes of upping their trade value. If that's the case, I'm kind of ok with it as long as after the trade deadline, we play the young players more.
Now, I don't know everyone's definition of tanking, but I don't consider this to be tanking. For instance, if we play the young kids and give them a lot of minutes and we actually make the playoffs, I can't see that as a negative, even losing the draft pick. If we're in line to make the playoffs and then we start losing intentionally, THAT's what I have a problem with. But without tanking, I want the Pistons to miss the playoffs while at the same time using the young players as much as possible. But at what expense could that come as? If Frank plays the young players and we lose, do we start another coaching carousel? If we don't make the playoffs because we played the young players, does Joe get canned? If we don't make the playoffs, does the free agency money get use unwisely going after a star that may disrupt whatever chemistry the team has and is building? What will the morale be of the team if the young ones can't take us to the playoffs? I don't know what the cost will be, and that kind of concerns me. But I fully believe, if we played the younger players more now, without regard of trying to build trade value for those who need to/will leave, it will put us in better position to almost guarantee a playoff spot next year.
P.S. I don't think Frank is an amazing coach, there are better out there, but I think he's a good stepping stone coach. Use him to build a semi-respectable team, then go after a coach that can push us over the edge, like what Larry Brown did. Carlisle was a stepping stone coach, now look at him. Also, I know many would like to see Joe D get canned, but I am not one that likes change in the front office because the change isn't "fast enough". Take these past elections. Someone promised "faster" recovery while the incumbent had a "steady" record of recovery. These past few years have shown that the team is slowly but assuredly getting better. A new GM may make that happen more quickly, or it may disrupt everything completely. I honestly don't know.

One of the best ways to maximize your budget is by doing repair and maintenance around the house on your own. Many "do it yourself "(DIY) projects aren't that hard. Even if you're not particularly handy, there are a lot of projects you can easily undertake yourself that will save you money.
Clean A/C-Heating Filters
While it's a good idea to have a professional annually check your home's heating and air conditioning system, this simple procedure can help save year round. Just find the filter on your unit; it's usually behind a small panel. There will probably be an off switch nearby which you should throw before opening the panel. Remove the filters, hose off, and let dry. Re-install, and move the switch back to the on position. The improved airflow will help the unit run more efficiently.
Install Ceiling Fans
If you have a light fixture in your ceiling, this is an easy installation, though you made need an extra set of hands to complete the project. If there isn't a fixture already, you will need to have junction box installed by an electrician. You can install the fan on your own. Once in place, it will not only help keep rooms cool in the summer, but help distribute heat more efficiently in the winter.
Insulate Pipes
Your local home improvement store likely carries foam tubing that can easily be cut and placed around exposed pipes in your basement or garage. This can help you use less hot water, and reduce the time it takes for your water to heat up.
Install Dimmer Switches
Using dimmers instead of standard light switches can help save electricity. Simply go to the fuse box and cut power to that circuit, then remove the old switch. A flat-head (slotted) and a Phillips head style screwdriver should be the only tools you need to disconnect the old switch and connect the new one.
Wash Your Car
Don't do this at home though. Save water and find a self-service car wash. The industrial strength vacuums will also save your home unit when it comes to cleaning your car's interior.
Minor Car Repair
You can usually find coupons for a cheap oil change, and it's usually only a little more than the cost of the oil. However, there are a few other repairs you can do yourself that would cost a lot if done by a repair shop. These include changing bulbs, fuses, and some filters. Windshield wipers are also fairly easy to replace.
Cook Gourmet Meals at Home
There are hundreds of resources for creating great tasting meals simply and cheaply. The Internet, magazines, the library, and family and friends can be great resources for recipes. Preparing your own meals can also be healthier too, and that can save you money in the long run.
Paint a room
With a little patience and practice you can paint a room in no time. Paint supply stores, as well as your local home improvement store, can help you with tips and pointers.
Build Your Confidence, But Take Precautions
With each project you tackle, you'll become more confident, and be ready to take on more difficult repairs. Maybe start off small, and build your comfort level. Also, be aware of what you are legally allowed to do on your own. In many areas only certified professionals can do electrical work, plumbing, and so on. Even putting up a small fence might require a zoning permit. Check with your local government for applicable regulations.

JPS lawyers slap down 'evidence' against exclusive licencePaul Henry
LAWYERS for the respondents in the case against the Jamaica Public Service's (JPS) all-island exclusive licence yesterday dismissed claims that a 1913 House of Lords ruling was against monopoly of the light and power sector.
The attorneys submitted in the Supreme Court that the ruling held that there was nothing wrong with monopoly as long as it was approved by the relevant authority.
Their submissions were in response to the 1913 case — London Electric Supply Corporation Ltd v Westminster Electric Supply Corporation Ltd — which the claimant said affirmed their argument against monopolisation.
The lawyers were asked by Justice Bryan Sykes to make the submissions after the old case was submitted to the court by the claimant's attorney Hugh Wildman some days after judgement was reserved last month in the challenge against the JPS' exclusive licence. A ruling is now expected in September.
Yesterday, Wildman said that the old case was a proper interpretation of a British Act that was passed in 1882 and which was adopted by Jamaica in the form of the Electric Lighting Act of 1890. Wildman also reiterated his previous submissions that Section 3 of the Act is against the issuing of a licence to a sole entity to provide electricity to the entire island.
Opposition Senator Dennis Meadows, Betty Ann Blaine and Cyrus Rousseau are challenging the legality of the JPS' 20-year licence, which was issued in 2001. The claimants are seeking to have the court declare the licence null and void.
Energy Minister Phillip Paulwell, the JPS and the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) are the respondents in the case.
Queen's Counsel Michael Hylton appeared for the JPS; David Batts, QC, appeared for the OUR; and Althea Jarrett of the Attorney General Chambers represented the minister.
Attorney Marvalyn Taylor-Wright appeared along with Wildman for the claimants.

A simple yet effective trick: Think of a sentence and use the first letter of every word including numbers and punctuation as your password. So if we take this example sentence:
"3 years ago I went to Thailand. It was 38 degrees there."
your password would be: "3yaIwtT.Iw38dt."

Get the details behind our redesign
The law of Moses pointed out the cases in which the servants of the Hebrews were to receive their freedom (Ex. 21:2-4, 7, 8; Lev. 25:39-42, 47-55; Deut. 15:12-18). Under the Roman law the "freeman" (ingenuus) was one born free; the "freedman" (libertinus) was a manumitted slave, and had not equal rights with the freeman (Acts 22:28; comp. Acts 16:37-39; 21:39; 22:25; 25:11, 12).
in humans, the power or capacity to choose among alternatives or to act in certain situations independently of natural, social, or divine restraints. Free will is denied by those who espouse any of various forms of determinism. Arguments for free will are based on the subjective experience of freedom, on sentiments of guilt, on revealed religion, and on the universal supposition of responsibility for personal actions that underlies the concepts of law, reward, punishment, and incentive. In theology, the existence of free will must be reconciled with God's omniscience and goodness (in allowing man to choose badly), and with divine grace, which allegedly is necessary for any meritorious act. A prominent feature of modern Existentialism is the concept of a radical, perpetual, and frequently agonizing freedom of choice. Jean-Paul Sartre, for example, speaks of the individual "condemned to be free" even though his situation may be wholly determined.

The concept of collaboration, as we use it, goes beyond communication, cooperation and coordination. As its Latin roots -com and laborare- indicate, it means "to work together." It is a mutually beneficial relationship between two or more parties who work toward a common goal by sharing responsibility, authority and accountability for achieving results.
This is the collaborative premise: If you bring the appropriate people together in constructive ways with good information, they will create authentic visions and strategies for addressing the shared concerns of the organization or community.
IMPORTANT FACTORSCollaboration is a credible, open process. People must believe the following:
- This time and effort will make a difference.
- The process is not being manipulated behind the scenes.
- All ideas will come to the surface.
- People will talk things over in a rational way
- Something concrete will happen.
First, build trust:
- Explore informally.
- Create ownership.
- Celebrate successes.
- Create impelling experiences.
- Guard the process.
- Use effective facilitation.
- Practice patience.
- Lead as a peer problem solver.
- Good timing/clear need
- Strong stakeholder groups
- Broad-based involvement
- Credible, open process
- Involvement of high-level, visible leaders
- Overcoming mistrust/skepticism
- Strong process leadership
- Celebrating interim successes

SM MEGAMALL recently received the Philippine Retailers Association's Shopping Center of the Year Award during its 2009 Outstanding Filipino Retailers and Shopping Center of the Year Night held recently at the Crowne Plaza in Ortigas Center.
This is the fourth time that an SM Supermall has been cited by the PRA since it launched the Shopping Center of the Year Award in 2002. SM City Baguio was earlier cited in 2005, and the SM Mall of Asia in 2007 and 2008.
Located along EDSA and Julia Vargas in the Ortigas Center, the SM Megamall created a lot of excitement when it was launched in 1991. At 330,000 square meters, it was not only mega in size but big in cutting edge concepts like the clustering of tenants; the Artwalk and the Art Center which brought art to the people through its mall galleries; and the Mega Trade Hall.
Later on, it opened a Cyberzone on the Fourth Level, the Mega Strip, a restaurant row for the 24/7 crowd along Julia Vargas; and the Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord on the Fifth Level.
Since that time, the mall has undergone several renovations, making it more mega and more exciting. Last August, it launched the Mega Atrium, a niche mall within a mall with upscale stores and specialty restaurants for the up market crowd. It also features a Grand Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord that also has an Adoration Chapel.
More recently, it opened a state of the art Event Center on the Lower Ground Floor, which is designed for large concerts, exhibits, and performances. With a seating capacity for 1200 people, it is envisioned to be a premiere events center in the Ortigas area.
It has also been on the forefront of environmental projects with sustainable features like the Sewage Treatment Plant and energy saving measures; as well as consumer activities like segregated waste cans; the Recycling Market Fair where one can exchange trash for cash; the conferences like the Green Retail Agenda, and the Green Film Festival. Spear heading these activities in other SM Malls resulted in the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Excellence in Economy and Environment Award for SM Prime Holdings last year.

For those of you who haven't heard, the nba players have disbanded, and have decided to sue the NBA in courts. With the lockout still in full effect, the bargaining process will now fall to long court dates spaced far apart and lawyers doing the bargaining. This leaves the very real possibility that the 2011-2012 season may never happen. Source:http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7234180/nba-lockout-players-not-accept-deal-seek-disband-billy-hunter-says So what now? There is one thing we know for sure. The 2012 NBA Draft will still occur.
Kenneth Faried had lofty dreams of becoming the Rookie of the Year. It may not be as easy with 120 incoming rookies in the 2012-2013 season.
Without a 2011-2012 season, the question, quickly becomes: What will be the draft order? What makes this even more crucial is the fact that this incoming rookie class is said to be the best since the 2003 draft. Several Options have been rumored to have been discussed, but none has been officially picked.
#1 Keep the draft order the same as last year.
Although, Cleavland drafted first, the Clippers did win last year's draft. if the order was to be kept the same, the Clipper would be adding the next great center, Andre Drummond to an already rising star in PF Blake Griffin. Obviously this isn't fair.
Spin on the Nuggets: We would once again be drafting 22nd overall. A pick this low would normally be the result of a 50 win season and a playoff berth. Without playing the actual season, we have no idea if this is where the Nuggets would have normally picked.
#2 Average the picks of the last 5 years.
This method would accurately work for consistently good teams such as the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Mavs... a few others. Of course, a few others would have an unfair advantage. Average the last 5 years for the Thunder, and you get the 11th overall pick. Even worse the Knicks would have the 10th overall pick. Not only would lotto talents be added to playoff teams, but the Grizzlies were supposed to take the Knicks 2012 "protected pick". This would delay the Knicks to giving their 1st round pick to the grizzlies in 2013, and their next pick 1st round pick to Denver in....2015. Cleavland would end up with a pick in the late 20s. I can't imagine Gilbert would be happy with that.
Spin on the nuggets: What can I say another draft pick in the 20s. A delay of the Knick's 1st round pick to at least 2015. The Nugget's direct division foe, the thunder gets stronger. This is the worst scenario in my opinion.
#3 Base the draft order on a team's salary commitment.
Will Massive 6ft 11 center Andre Drummond man the Nugget's middle in 2012-2013?
A massive part of this lockout mess has been salary commitments. This system rewards teams who have been more aware and "smart" spenders. There is a trend that the stronger teams in the league also have more salary committed. In this scenario, the Lakers have the last pick in the draft easily. The only bad team with plenty of salary I can think of is the pistons. They would not like this scenario.
Spin on the Nuggets: With Gallinari, Miller, and Koufos, all expiring at season's end. This is undoubtedly the ideal scenario as the nuggets will end up with the #1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history and the opportunity to draft our first franchise center since Mutombo. This same reason may also kill option 3. The Nuggets have made 8 straight playoff appearances. Not many teams would be happy to see them pick up the top overall pick and may be the ultimate reason why this option doesn't occur. Nuggets fans will certainly be cheering for option 3 should the season truley die.
#4 Full 30 team lottery
This final scenario has all 30 teams put their name into the machine and let it ride purely on luck. This scenario would be costly as a team projected to be the worst ie. the bobcats has a very high chance 29/30 of not getting the #1 pick. if they NbA Season played out they would have a 1/4 chance.
Spin on the Nuggets: Nothing is as good as option 3 for the Nuggs, but this option is actually preferable to options 1 and 2. Now bear with me in this thinking. This random deal could have Denver picking last, but in options 1 and 2 Denver picks in the 20s. The odds are better with this option that the nuggets get a pick in the 1-21 range than the 22-30 range just by pure luck, and that is a step up over options 1 and 2.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Since infamously displaying her true feelings for the judge who ultimately sentenced her to 90 days in jail last summer with some rather bawdy nail art, Lindsay Lohan's fingertips have become almost as telling of her rehabilitation progress as her behavior. The tattered pink camo overlays she wore in February during deliberation in that necklace-theft case, for example, certainly didn't make it any more difficult to sentence her to house arrest. But at a probation hearing in Los Angeles yesterday, things seemed to be looking up for the embattled star, if her manicure is any indication. No expletives or chipped polish here—just two pristine coats of opalescent white varnish to complement a sophisticated all-black ensemble. Perhaps LiLo is finally ready to own up to her actions and move on—or at least take better care of her nails. Thoughts on the matter?
I hope she cleans up her act, She's a really good actor, and would love to see her in movies soon!

Former signer Courtney Love has reportedly been sued over $4,000 of flower arrangements that she is alleged to have stolen, TMZ reports.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed recently in Los Angeles and obtained by the news provider, Love ordered a number of flower arrangements from a local store in 2009.
Pop singer Ke$ha has been sued by her former managers, who claim that the star owed them money for work they did to further her career, reports the New York Daily News.
The plaintiff, DAS Communications, first signed Ke$ha in 2006 with an agreement that she would pay them 20 percent of her music income and that she could end their relationship if she were not signed by a record company within a year.
Ke$ha continued with the company after a year passed with no record deal, but DAS claims that in 2008 she was coerced into leaving by songwriter and producer Dr.
R&B singer Christina Milian has settled a lawsuit filed by a neighbor who was allegedly bitten by her dog, reports TMZ.
Leo Skolion, 81, filed the initial lawsuit in January of last year regarding an incident that occurred in October 2008. In the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Skolion alleged that flooding problems in Milian's home damaged a gate separating their properties.
Milian's dog reportedly escaped through the broken gate and bit Skolion, reportedly taking "a huge chunk" out of his arm.

Popular R&B and hip-hop artist Kelis has been sued by a talent agency claiming that the singer failed to pay in full for their services, reports RTT News.
The agency, Drive Talent, alleges that Kelis never provided payment for its services in getting her booked for appearances on television programs like "Today," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

French Country Quota Results as Expected
MARSEILLE, FRANCE, July 13, 2004 - The higher-seeded teams won as expected in the country quota for France here Tuesday morning to help determine the line-up for the final 16 women's Qualification Tournament matches this week's US$560,000 World Series 13 event, the second of three Grand Slam stops on the 2004 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour.
Advancing from the country quota playoffs for France in the eighth annual World Series 13 were the teams of Aurelie Beaute/Andrea Luge, Morgane Fareau/Marion Castelli, Marjorie Molina/Lorena Indremilla and Sandrine Fillsetti/Perrine Royannais.
France has already placed three teams in the Main Draw, including Ethel-Julie Arjona and Virginie Kadjo, who missed qualifying for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games by 12 points. One more Main Draw match win among their best eight finishes on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour since January 2003 was all Arjona and Kadjo needed to pass the Yanchulova sisters (Lina and Petia) of Bulgaria.
Ranked 27th on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour list with $21,000 in combined earnings this season, Arjona and Kadjo posted a career best finish of fifth last season in Italy. After posting a ninth in the Swiss Alps last month in the first of the four-straight Olympic qualifying events in Europe, Arjona and Kadjo's Athens hopes were hurt by not advancing to the Main Draw in the next two events in Germany and Norway.
The pair placed ninth last week in Mallorca, but were eliminated from Olympic contention when they dropped their final match to Angela Clarke and Kylie Gerlic of Australia 21-19 and 21-11. One of the wins was over the Yanchulova sisters, who finished ahead of Arjona and Kadjo with 1,100 points compared to 1,088.
Arjona and Kadjo won two of three matches during the Olympic qualifying process over the Bulgarians. The only setback was a three-setter in Greece earlier this season where the deciding set was 15-13.
Arjona and Kadjo placed ninth in the 2003 World Series 13 event for the highest finish ever by a women's team in the Marseille stop as they posted a 3-1 record against teams that qualified for the Athens Games.. Also competing for France in the women's Main Draw are the teams of Claire Jaouen/Tatiana Riera and Kevin Etienne/Deborah Giaoui.
The 11th annual men's World Series 13 opens Wednesday morning with the Qualification Tournament while the women begin Main Draw play. The finals are set for Sunday when the winners of each gender will share the $41,500 first-place prizes.

We will be tracking springlike temperatures and slight storm chances through the end of this week and this weekend.
Highs on Wednesday are expected in the low 70s with a mostly sunny sky.
It will be quite windy as well with southwest winds expected at 20-30 mph.
Partly cloudy Wednesday night with temps staying mild in the low 50s with slightly breezy south winds.
We should see a partly sunny sky with highs in the low 70s and breezy south winds on Thursday.
We bring in slim storm chances for our western areas on Thursday night.
Look for springlike temperatures and about a 20-30% chance of storms to continue through the weekend.

University of Massachusetts Amherst. All rights reserved.
Based in the most densely populated state in New England, the Massachusetts chapter of NOFA applies unique solutions to unique challenges. Working with "honorable and ethical" companies eager to buy local organic produce, NOFA/Mass has been able to help get healthy organic food to more people than ever before. Companies like Whole Foods (formerly Bread & Circus) have even participated in "percentage days" where a percentage of the total receipts on a particular day are donated to NOFA. A five percent donation in urban areas such as Cambridge might mean tens of thousands of dollars. While most NOFA chapters have participated in similar events, the Massachusetts branch has been particularly active in reaching out to consumers in urban areas, engaging them in the organic farming industry.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Samuel Kaymen -- the "NOFA prophet" -- was privy to all the movements and motivations of the 1960s. Like many others in his time, Kaymen felt that his life was spiritually undernourished, and in 1969, he moved from the city to rural Unity, New Hampshire, to start a self-sufficient garden with his wife, Louise.
With no previous experience in agriculture, Kaymen learned all he could from outdated library books, eventually stumbling across Edward Hyams'
The first meeting of NOFA (which would change the first part of its name to "Northeast" in 1993) took place on June 7, 1971. Kaymen had posted fliers and sent out mailers announcing that NOFA would teach and promote nine principles, including proper composting, seeding, weeding, and other skills necessary for farm production. Conspicuously missing from the list was marketing. "This shows how naive I really was," Kaymen said in 1998. Starting with a budget of $35, Kaymen and the farmers, gardeners, and hippies who attended that first meeting decided that NOFA would sponsor seminars, seed-exchanges, bulk shopping, and apprenticeships. They would also publish a quarterly newsletter named after what Kaymen hoped to be,
Eventually, Kaymen "hooked up with people in New York City who were running daycare centers" and at least once a week, NOFA farmers would load up an old truck in the middle of the night and drive six hours to Manhattan and Harlem to deliver fresh produce to daycare centers and to people on street corners who "hadn't seen fresh collards since they were in the South."
In 1973, Kaymen was given a farm in Cornish, New Hampshire, by a group of people who thought he "was a good organizer... a good speaker and [who] wanted [him] to be a New Hampshire person." Robert Houriet, a farmer and writer living in Hardwick, Vermont, offered to take over
The first NOFA conference, cosponsored by the Biodynamic Farming Association, was held in Wilton, New Hampshire, in 1975. Wendell Berry was the keynote speaker and around 350 people attended, which Kaymen thought was "quite a lot." Win Way, a member of the University of Vermont faculty ("the establishment" as Kaymen called it), brought air of the academy to the 1976 conference which helped transform NOFA from a group of former New York City hippies into an influential organization with scientific backing. The 1978 conference saw the "old timers... come out of the closet" to support NOFA.
Kaymen stepped down from NOFA's presidency in 1981. Since that time, NOFA has grown, now claiming "nearly 4,000 farmers, gardeners and consumers [from] ... chapters in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont." NOFA started as a co-operative promoting and facilitating information sharing and other ways to help growers farm in a natural, organic, and sustainable way. While NOFA still promotes the nine principles Kaymen originally founded it to promote, that tenth item, marketing, now plays a larger role than ever before.
The Northeast Organic Farming Association was founded in an era of student protest and social activism. Beginning almost two decades into the history of NOFA, this collection documents the day-to-day work of a well established non-profit organization.
Meeting agendas and summaries as well as financial reports and correspondence are very comprehensive from 1989 to 2003. These decades saw the expansion of NOFA membership and the birth of new initiatives. Grants and business ventures are documented from pitch to proposal to payoff. The stories of projects such as Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) are relayed first-hand through official NOFA records as well as through personal emails.
The collection is open for research.
