Pianist revives music created in concentration camps
By RUTH ELLEN GRUBER/JTA
10/06/2012 09:43
Since 1991 Italian Francesco Lotoro has traveled the globe to bring to light music that was composed and often performed in camps.

Since 1991 the Italian pianist has traveled the globe to seek out and bring to light symphonies, songs, sonatas, operas, lullabies and even jazz riffs that were composed and often performed in Nazi-era concentration camps.
"This music is part of the cultural heritage of humanity," Lotoro, 48, told JTA after a concert in Trani, a port town in southern Italy, that featured surprisingly lively cabaret songs composed in the camps at Westerbork in the Netherlands and Terezin (Theresienstadt) near Prague.
The concert formed part of Lech Lecha, a week long Jewish culture festival in early September that took place in Trani and nine other towns in the Apulia region, the heel of Italy's boot.
"When I started seeking out this music, my interest was based on curiosity, on passion," said Lotoro, who was the festival's artistic director. "I felt that someone had to do it -- and that someone was myself. Today it has become a mission."
Lotoro has collected original scores, copies and even old recordings of some 4,000 pieces of what he calls "concentrationary music" -- music written in the concentration camps, death camps, labor camps, POW camps and other internment centers set up between 1933, when Dachau was established, and the end of World War II.
In the 1990s he formed an orchestra to perform the pieces, and in 2001 began recording the compositions. A selection was released earlier this year in a 24-CD boxed set called "KZ Musik," or "The Encyclopedia of Concentrationary Music." (KZ is the German abbreviation for concentration camp.) Some of the pieces have long been known, including music by several prominent composers who were interned in Terezin. The Nazis used Terezin, a ghetto concentration and transit camp, as a propaganda tool, allowing cultural life to develop.
Other musical pieces, however, had been long lost or totally forgotten until Lotoro deciphered, transcribed and arranged them.
Many compositions had been jotted down in notebooks or scribbled in letters or on scraps of paper. In the Pankrac prison in Prague, the Czech composer Rudolf Karel scrawled music on sheets of toilet paper.
"People continued to create despite being in those places," Lotoro said. "These composers felt that the camp was probably the last place they would be alive, and so they made a will, a testament.
"They had nothing material to leave," he said, "only their heart, only their mind, only the music. And so they left the music to future generations. It is a great testament of the heart."
Jews who were killed in the Shoah wrote most of the music that Lotoro has collected. But his collection also includes pieces by Quakers, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma (Gypsies), political prisoners, homosexuals and others held in camps and prisons as far afield as Asia. He also has music written by German officers and troops in POW camps run by Allied powers and even American GIs held captive by the Japanese.
"Everybody made music, wrote music," Lotoro said. "Because, you know, music is a social phenomenon. You can be a musician as an amateur, because you have a good ear, you can improvise, you can play the harmonica. Of course there are the great composers and musicians. But music is all of this, from amateur to professional."
Lotoro, who lives in the town of Barletta, near Trani, and teaches at a music conservatory, believes he is descended from Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity centuries ago. He was drawn to Judaism as a teenager; he and his wife formally converted in 2004.
But Lotoro said this was not the reason he began his search for the lost concentration camp music.
"Of course as a Jew, I now feel that this is a mitzvah; it is something I have to do," he said. "But I think that if I had not become Jewish I would anyway have done this."
His first foray to seek out music came long before his conversion. It was a 1991 trip to Terezin, where imprisoned composers such as Viktor Ullmann and Gideon Klein -- both killed at Auschwitz -- had written works, such as Ullmann's opera "The Emperor of Atlantis," that already had become part of the international musical repertoire.
"I started there because I thought it would be easier," Lotoro recalled. "But from Terezin I went on to research other former camps in the region, and at the end of three weeks I had to buy another suitcase to bring home all the material I found."
Since then he has scoured antiquarian bookshops, catalogs, archives, libraries, museums, private collections and other holdings in more than a dozen countries for traces of lost music. Along the way he has amassed a trove of 13,000 items: scores, notebooks, papers, diaries, microfilms, photocopies, photographs, recordings and other material that he continues to sift through, catalog and sometimes reconstruct. He hopes to load all the pieces he has found onto a digital database for posterity.
As part of his research, Lotoro has consulted with scholars who specialize in the music of the Holocaust, and also has interviewed some of the few surviving musicians as well as relatives of those who perished. But he has carried out most of the work on his own.
"It is yet another testament to Italian creativity -- the ability to address such global issues from a relatively 'remote' place, and as a single-handed initiative," Francesco Spagnolo, an Italian musicologist who is the curator at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life in Berkeley, Calif., told JTA.
Much of Lotoro's work also has been self-financed. Although he has received some grants over the years, he told JTA that he had gone into debt and even taken out a second mortgage on his home to cover costs.
Still, Lotoro said, he must continue.
"I cannot stop because if I stop, all the research stops automatically," he said.
"And how many works are still out there that I haven't found? How many works am I missing? How many will I be able to save?"

Fixing The NFL Fan Experience
SB Nation asked it's NFL bloggers how they could improve the fan experience at NFL games. Here was my contribution: "As far as game experience to improve ... this is always lost on me since I've always gone to watch a football game. I don't care what else is happening unless someone's trying to shank me, but I'm in Jax, not Oakland. I realize I'm the minority in that, though."

just watched jimmy garropolo win the mvp of the east west shrine game. he looks pretty damn good, the analysts were sure slurping him up. he's taking mccarron's place in the senior bowl next week, it'll be interesting to see how he does. the hype train is picking up speed, he may climb draft boards like flacco did.None

#2. Understand we will be needing a QB... To develop for at least a year. Maybe he challenges Cassel, but let it be a true competition between those two guys and may the best man take it. I am comfortable entering the season with Cassel.
Trade back. Yes I'm serious.
Get back to somewhere around 13-17. Grab either: Louis Nix III to play NT in the 3-4, CJ Mosley at ILB, or Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix to pair with Harrison Smith. With the trade, we hopefully can pick up another 2nd.
Now our D looks something like
DE Shariff Floyd. NT Louis Nix III. DE Brian Robison (yes I think he can handle this.... Better than moving him to olb.
RDE: Sharrif Floyd
NT: Fred Evans (Hopefully we can draft a true NT, Evans won't really cut it)
LDE: Letroy Guion
for LB:
WOLB: Robison
WILB: Greenway
SILB: Cole
SOLB: Griffen
OLB Everson Griffin. ILB Audie Cole. ILB Free agent/ 2nd Rd pick/Erin Henderson? OLB chad Greenway
Cb Xavier Rhodes. FS Harrison Smith. SS lots of nice FA here or 2nd Rd pick CB #1 FA target. Vontae Davis
One of the two seconds we would now have has to be QB though.
With all of this being said, if Johnny Football is there at 8. Scrap this idea and lets roll with him! We need some fire and competitive spirit to pair with Zimmer's.

The 8 guys I'd want in order:
If it's not one of these guys, I'd definitely prefer we try and trade down.
It says most of the senior QB's are not ready for the NFL
There is some talent in the crop, and the best through two days certainly has been Fresno State's Derek Carr, younger brother of former No. 1 overall pick David Carr.
But the remaining five quarterbacks on the two squads have yet to show they can be considered anything near NFL starting material coming out of college. That has been the biggest takeaway of this intriguing but fairly underwhelming group so far.

2014's Quarterback Conundrum - Out Of The Box - Rotoworld.com
Thanks! Wow! That is a pretty crazy awesome breakdown of the top 4 QBs!!
First off, I sure don't like Carr's less than average completions in the short and long zones. And he had a terrible bowl game when facing stiffer competition. I feel like if he's the last QB of these 4 on the board at 8, there should be no Pondering, and we should go defense and look for Mettzenberger or Boyd or Garoppolo or ??? in the 2nd...and then maybe look to back that pick up with a McCarron or Murrey in the 4th or 5th.
Johnny Football does hit the big plays often. Likely, at least partially due to his scrambling ability buying time for his WRs to get down field (and open.) My worry about JF isn't his play making ability which pretty much jumps out to anyone watching, it is his thin frame and style of play that will too likely lead to him being a Vick type player; fun to watch but injured on the sidelines all too often. Smart, quick players can learn to avoid the big hits, is he one of those guys?
Bridgewater looks pretty well rounded in this breakdown. Highly unlikely he gets anywhere near pick 8.
Bortles' size intrigues me and he is faster than expected for his size. His completion percentages, like Bridgewater, were average or better in All Zones, and although he didn't throw it deep as often as the others, his completion % there was 2nd best only to Manziel.
And then there is the blitz/pressure...more proof against Carr and for Bortles:
- Upon first glance its pretty clear that Carr is lacking in both categories. His 50% completion percentage when under pressure is the worst among the top 8 QBs in this class and hes not setting the world ablaze against the blitz either.
- When looking at both categories, Bridgewater is the clear winner. He and Bortles both complete about 63% of their passes when under pressure, but Bridgewater is heads above the other QBs against the blitz nearly matching his ability when there are no extra rushers.
- Bortles has been noted for his success when under pressure and it shows here, hitting 63% of his passes when the defense is bearing down. He has the second highest completion percentage against the blitz at 71.05%.
Improve play at DT and the rest of the line improves with them. Put somebody who can actually cover at LB to help the Nickel cover those short-intermediate passes and we might actually see dramatic defensive improvement in year one under Zimmer. (Assuming a healthy Harrison, and competition between Sendejo, Sanford & Raymond, and I think we are OK at Safety)
On a side note: Pretty damn sure I read that Zimmer said he will employ a 4-3 defense...but with some 3-4 looks thrown in once in a while...link anyone?Control the line, control the time, and give your D a chance to shine!!

Britney Spears and Madonna shocked the world by French-kissing — or playing "tonsil hockey," as TIME's Joel Stein described it — at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, 2003. Critics compared it to Michael Jackson smooching Lisa Marie Presley at the 1994 ceremony. The image was apparently so appalling to some people that The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had to apologize for placing it on the front page of the newspaper. And viewers who saw Miley Cyrus twerk on stage at the awards a decade later will chuckle at The Los Angeles Times description of the Britney-Madonna kiss: "The fact that this yawn-worthy Madonna shock tactic became the central topic of the show's post-mortems indicates how low the once-essential showcase has sunk."

Night-time rotation
In 1999 the runway alternation scheme was extended to the night period and – at night only – for easterly operations.
There is a weekly rotation of westerly and easterly arrivals after the last departure until 06:00, subject to weather conditions on any particular night.
This has resulted in a more even split between westerly and easterly operations than the previous figure of nearly 90% of early morning arrivals overflying London in an average year at Heathrow.

Calls for amendments to discrimination laws
POLICYMAKERS have indicated that there are no plans to replace the term "being male or female" with the word "sex" in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms which now replaces Chapter Three of the Jamaican Constitution, despite increasing pressure to make such an amendment.
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) had raised the issue during its most recent meeting with representatives from Jamaica at its New York headquarters. The committee had questioned whether such a change was likely to be made, in keeping with previous recommendations that the term "sex" ought to be used instead as a prohibited ground of discrimination. The group had also called for a clearer definition of discrimination in the new charter.
A similar concern was also raised by advocacy group Equal Rights Trust (ERT), which comprises human rights advocates from around the world. Following their research of Jamaica's laws and policies to protect against discrimination, the group recommended that the country further amend Section 13 of the Constitution to improve legal protection from discrimination.
"ERT is concerned that there is no legal definition of discrimination against women in either the Constitution or elsewhere in Jamaican law," the group said.
It went on to say that, "without such a definition, the Constitution will be interpreted narrowly and that the Constitution will thus be insufficient to address all forms of discrimination, including indirect discrimination and harassment in particular."
The group concluded that Section 13 (3) (i) of the charter is insufficient to guarantee Jamaica's obligation to ensure the respect and protection of human rights. It called on the Government to, among other things, explicitly prohibit discrimination on grounds of pregnancy or maternity, civil, career or family status, age, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.
In response to calls to amend the charter, Jamaica's contingent to the CEDAW meeting noted that the old chapter three of the Constitution had not explicitly prohibited discrimination on the ground of "sex" either. The new chapter, they said, is therefore an improvement which clearly prohibits discrimination against anyone, including females.
The group, which comprised Information Minister Sandrea Falconer and Executive Director of the Bureau of Women's Affairs Faith Webster, noted that while the term "sex" is not explicitly used in the amended Constitution, it still has the effect of prohibiting discrimination.

By now, we should have reached the statute of limitations for hyping Michael Vick facing the Atlanta Falcons, the team that made him the first-overall pick in 2001. After all, the last time Vick wore a Falcons uniform was 2006. However, he missed the Eagles' 31-17 win over the Falcons last year. Vick accounted for two touchdowns against the Falcons in 2009 -- one rushing, one passing -- playing a bit part behind then-Eagles starter Donovan McNabb. Vick brings his Eagles team to the Georgia Dome this week with no mitigating circumstances to put a kink in the plot of his return to face the Falcons.
Matt Ryan has redefined the Falcons since being drafted in 2008. With preseason expectations that included the words "Super Bowl," the Falcons will be looking to erase last week's drubbing by the Bears. Ryan and his top two receivers, Roddy White and rookie Julio Jones, face an intimidating Eagles secondary. Watch for them to lean on Michael Turner after the Eagles allowed 5.9 yards per carry to the Rams last week.
Sometimes the early season primetime games can disappoint; not this time. A potential NFC Championship preview, this game is one of the better draws on the early-season schedule.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 18, 8:20 p.m. ET
Location: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA
TV: NBC Sunday Night Football
Announcers: Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Michele Tafoya
Falcons: WSTR 94.1 FM
Eagles: 94WYSP

There are three ice machines in the heart of Livonia in Pointe Coupee Parish that many fishermen rely on to fill up coolers prior to heading out on a fishing trip. The problem is, only one of the three is currently working."When people come to the ice machines, now they're either malfunctioning or out of ice and they have to go somewhere else to buy the ice," said Owner Lynn Drago.Drago and her husband own the ice dispensers and said they started noticing money missing about a month ago, but could not figure out if it was the machines malfunctioning or someone stealing from them. Then last week, they got their answer."The money was completely out of machines and it was more than one machine so we knew someone was taking from it," said Drago.The suspect was caught on surveillance video with his right hand pulling away very quickly. Police said the man would insert a $5 bill and as soon as the machine would recognize it, he would yank the bill back out and use it over and over again keeping the change."It was amazing to see somebody doing this. You think how does somebody think of something like that?" asked Drago.The person would get back $3.50 from every transaction and police said it took only a matter of minutes to empty out each machine. After emptying one, he would move to the second one, and then third one and over the past month, police said he stole nearly $1,000."To be honest with you, I haven't seen that trick in a while because most of the new vending machines won't allow that to happen," said Livonia Police Chief Brad Joffrion.Chief Joffrion said this has been happening for nearly a month with the suspect hitting all hours of the day and night moving from machine to machine. He's believed to be a white man, who is six feet tall with long, black hair. He's been caught on camera in two different trucks --- a grayish Ford pickup and also as a passenger in a white GMC truck with a golden retriever in the back. "It's sad to think someone is taking something that's yours and probably going elsewhere and doing the same thing to other people," said Drago. "They've just outsmarted the machines themselves."Now, police need your help to outsmart the man, identify him and turn him over to keep the Drago's profits from melting away.If you can help police in identifying the suspect, call Livonia Police at 225-637-2520 or Crime Stoppers at 344-STOP.

Exploring our collective economic history over centuries of time.
A (Micro) History of the World Economics, DancedPershing Square (532 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA) Map it Free
Conceived at the height of the European economic crisis, A (Micro) History of World Economics, Danced explores our collective economic history over centuries of time. Integrating stories of a diverse range of Angelenos with 300 years of global economic history, this work explores the community impact of the financial crisis. Previously only staged in Paris and Tokyo, Micro History of World Economics, Danced, will be presented by New York's P.S. 122 just prior to Los Angeles performances. Our production assembles a 50 person cast of LA downtowners, blending professional and non-professional performers, including a 15-person chorus and the musings of an economist played by artist / activist John Malpede. The play was written and directed by Pascal Rambert, artistic director for the innovative Théâtre de Gennevilliers and an artist whose theatrical works are often presented worldwide. In 2012, Rambert's "Love's End" won the "Best New Play" award from the French Drama Critics' Association. This project serves as part of LAPD's larger aims to enhance the value of all of downtown's dynamic neighborhoods through art. On Friday, Oct. 25 from 12-2pm, excerpts will be performed at downtown locations (including 707 W. Wilshire Blvd., 830 Flower Street, 900 S. Figueroa Street, and 717 W. 9thStreet,) in advance of the full production. All performances are free and open to the public. The project is funded by the Public Art Division of City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, The French-American Fund for Contemporary Theater, and The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States.- http://lapovertydept.org

much narrower range of file-format
options than Google, Zoho or the
full-size Office applications.
Office Web Apps does shine for its
handling of Office's default OOXML
formats. The Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents I tested rendered
well in my test browsers, offering the
best route I've seen for viewing an
Office document as intended without
having a copy of Office installed. In
addition, the print function in the Web
Apps does an excellent job converting
Office documents to PDF format.
I tested the Office Web Apps on
a SharePoint Server 2010 instance
running in our lab, and from a test
version of Microsoft's Windows Live
service. From Windows Live, I found
new options for creating, editing and
viewing Office documents using
Office Web Apps.
I could start by uploading an existing document or starting a new one.
On our SharePoint, I couldn't figure out how to create a new document from scratch—the New Document options I found in SharePoint
directed me only to a file upload
I uploaded a Word document
stored in the binary .DOC format to
our SharePoint instance and could
readily view it from my browser.
When I opted to "edit in browser,"
the server alerted me that it would
have to convert my document to the
newer .DOCX format.
The same held true for PowerPoint
and Excel documents stored in the
earlier format. I uploaded a different
document stored in the OpenDocu-ment Format—the default format for
OpenOffice.org, which Office 2010
does support—but found that
there was no way to view, edit
or convert the ODF document
from Office Web Apps.
My test document rendered nicely in both Firefox
and IE. I was able to scroll
through my documents with
ease, with new pages loading
promptly. Links embedded in
my test document worked as
expected, and I could zoom

Outrebounded by 21 and win!
Feels good oh yea...
posted by skitlets to Golden State of Mind gameday open thread
Udoh played well. A couple solid moves in the paint, good defense and a couple blocks. One boneheaded TO, though not as bad as Carney's double dribble.
Monta Ellis is willing this team to wins. If not wins, he at least keeps us in the game. Too bad Curry had a terrible shooting night. No idea he racked up 11 assists either.
D. Wright with a few great plays to seal the game in the 4th and it's nice to finally see Lee hit his jumpers. If he gets back to his usual rate, I hope to see an improvement in his drives as defenders have to honor his jumper.
posted by Visigoth to RealGM Warriors message board
Third straight game Udoh has gotten steady minutes. Also, coincidentally, third straight game he's gotten 3 blocks.
This guy is going to be a Defensive Player of the Year some day, mark it.
posted by St. Nick to RealGM Warriors message board
First game back for Biedrins and we're going to look crappy like we did before.
We might not get outrebounded by as much, but we're going to have that gaping hole in the middle on defense and offense whenever he's out there.
Watch and see.
BTW, we won guys. Hope it wasn't too painful for you.
posted by Old Rem to RealGM Warriors message board
Well....seems Monta took over. Pretty dominating finish.
Getting outrebounded by a zillion? Not good, and while Udoh did not grab a lot of boards, he still should hve been in there more. He will be a rebounder.
Had Biedrins been playing and 100% it would have been an easier win. GSW would have not been outboarded by as much,if any, and would have had more D inside.
Portland is in pretty bad shape now,so it's not a glorious victory, but considering the weak rebounding and Curry being cold shooting, it took some special stuff to save a W.

The Trailblazers are Comin' to Town
They're doing scouting reports
And watching video twice
We're going to find out if Brandon Roy is on ice
The Trailblazers are Comin' to Town
They'll hit the jumper if you're sleeping (on D)
They'll crash the offensive glass
LaMarcus Aldridge is a double-double waiting to happen

Monta Ellis' 39 Points Lead Warriors Past Blazers
by Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle
OK, the M-V-P chants were more than a little silly.
But Monta Ellis had another monstrous game Saturday that could help him make a major leap toward stardom, using the nationally televised game as his personal playground and leading the Warriors to a 109-102 victory over Portland.
Ellis had 39 points on 26 field-goal attempts and seven assists in front of a Santa-hat-wearing crowd of 19,596 at Oracle Arena and anyone who wasn't drunk on basketball after watching four games throughout the day on TV.
He has scored at least 34 points in four of his past five games, and once again had his hands in virtually everything positive the Warriors did. * * *
Ellis' 39 Points Lift Warriors Past Trail Blazers
by Marcus Thompson II, San Jose Mercury News
Finally, the Warriors finished a team off.
Guard Monta Ellis scored 10 of his game-high 39 points in the fourth quarter as the Warriors closed the game with a furious rally. Saturday's 109-102 win over Portland gives the Warriors their first winning streak since Nov. 8 and 10, when they won at Detroit and Toronto.
The Warriors got 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists from David Lee, who played 44 minutes and made 8 of 11 shots. Forward Dorell Wright had 16 points and eight rebounds.
Point guard Stephen Curry returned to action after missing six games with a sprained right ankle. He was limited to 29 minutes, as coach Keith Smart said before the game that he needed to work on his conditioning. It showed in his shooting. Curry was 2 for 15 from the field, including 0 for 5 from 3-point range. But he did post 11 assists. * * *
Recap #29: Portland Trail Blazers 102, Golden State Warriors 109 - Merry Clutchness!
by Atma Brother ONE, Golden State of Mind (SBN)

Portland Props
I'd like to begin tonight's show by giving some just due to the Blazers. They were without Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and Joel Pryzbilla but you didn't hear any excuses from Coach Nate McMillan or their fans. They play tough and smart and tonight was no exception.
As the ESPN commentators were commentating tonight (commentators commenting- you read my words for these type of insights) it's pretty shocking that Wesley Matthews wasn't drafted. This guy can play. He gets my vote for tonight's Warrior Killer.
Major props to one of my favs from that legendary 1996 NBA Draft class Marcus Camby. Do you realize this 36 year old still manages nearly 11 boards and 2 rejections a game in under 30 minutes? Tonight Camby was solid with 7 points, 13 boards, 2 dimes, 3 blocks, and 1 steal in under 24 minutes of action.
I hate to question Coach Nate, but if Camby plays more tonight, the Warriors don't win. I'd say the dumbest mistake (of many dumb ones) of former New York Knicks GM Scott Layden's stint was trading Marcus Camby and Nene for Antonio McDyess back in 2002. McDyess was/is nice, but he barely even played for the Knicks.
And course I can't give enough props to the Blazers Edge staff and community. Dave, Ben, and crew are real trail blazers. * * *
Check back for additional material as it becomes available.
The Bottom Line:
1. Ho ho ho, another home win!
2. Steph Curry was horrible tonight. Monta Ellis and David Lee were big enough ponies to ride for the win though.
3. Our Warriors still aren't back to full strength yet. The jury's still out on them. We'll see.
No essay stuff by me this time around. I posted the "Brandon Roy: The Road to Portland" piece as a separate FanPost so that it would be easier to link up or cite at Wikipedia. Check the sidebar for that when you get a chance, or CLICK THIS LINK.
Christmas lottery
You can't win if you don't play
Or if you miss shots
Here's some twisted Christmas cheer from Santa's helper, Uncle Mike...
Does coldness carry over from the pregame?
MB: "Dante hits his first shot and that's a good sign — he was really struggling with his shot in pregame warmups."
Rice: "He was about 1-for-86 when I was watching him."
Somebody please explain the mandatory TV time out rules to Ricey, please...
Rice: "And I tell you, the time out that Keith Smart called was really the time out that saved the Blazers!"
Warrior fans can be surly...
Rice: "Those guys behind us, I don't know if they're yelling at Nate or us or what..."
MB: "A little too much egg nog..."
Rice: "A little too much Christmas spirits."
Game 30.
Blazers 102 at Warriors 109.
December 25, 2010.
Blazers' record is now 15-15, the Warriors are 11-8.
Your Christmas comfort and joy falls beneath a hail of bullets, baby...
- Blazers are 14-2 on Christmas day, best in the NBA. Let's make it 15, boyos...
- It's GAMETIME! Can we have a "Woot!" brothers and sisters?
- Marcus Camby and Nic Batum both back and starting for Portland.
- Less than one minute in, we get our first goofy Rice stat: LMA is #3 in offensive rebounds in the NBA for the month of December.
- Monta Ellis is good at basketball.
- Two minutes elapsed and two teams had two points each. Then, oh my, #2 Sweet Wesley scored 2...
- All the sudden, a Warriors game broke out, with the Blazers making five shots in a row to take a 4 point lead.
- Warriors ran three guys at LMA and left easy pickins for a Nic tip in of the miss from the weak side. Nic's gonna score lots of put-back buckets if he bothers to crash the boards in this new "Triple Team LMA" era.
- Nic just starting to roll, 6 points scored on 3-for-5 shooting with 2 assists. Coach Spontaneity sends the Frenchman to the bench at the 5 minute mark, apparently according to some prefabricated rotation scheme. Nic glares sideways, really pissed, as he sits down.
- Warriors were shooting lights out from behind the arc hitting their first 3 bombs.
- LMA with his first jam at 1:35. "THAT'S WHY HE'S #2 IN THE WHOLE NBA IN JAMS IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER!!!" Rice bellows on cue.
- LMA with a second foul at the 1 minute mark and Sean Marks, Golliver's well-traveled punching bag, enters the game at Center.
- Monta Ellis holds for the last shot and tries the move he tried to make at the end of the December 18 game in Portland. He gets to the rim nicely but misses the shot.
- The Royless Blazers are fun to watch.
- END OF THE FIRST QUARTER: PDX 28, GSW 25. Portland shooting 54% and out rebounding the Warriors 14 to 6.
- Former Bay Area collegian Patty Mills had to score 25 tickets for this game, mostly for Aussies. No info on whether he has to contribute bickies to their legal defense fund for the inevitable Drunk & Disorderly charges that ensued.
- Undersized Warriors and undersized Blazers are a pretty even matchup. Before you hold your nose at that comparison, be advised that neither team looks as bad as the World Champs did this afternoon. There are definitely holes in the Warriors' roster, but they're not the worst team in the league either.
- Rice: "It's the Warriors' type of game, it's kind of a wild game."
- Nice first stint for Patty Mills, who is starting to look like a semi-sufficient backup PG.
- Story of the game for the Warriors was their 5-for-9 shooting from downtown as of the 6:00 mark. Portland, by way of contrast, was 0-for-5.
- Golden State went with a bigger lineup at the end of the quarter in an effort to shut down Portland's rebounding juggernaut. It didn't help. Blazers were up 24-10 at one point.
- Mismatch of the night: any time the hobbled Steph Curry had to defend a posting Andre Miller.
- Monta Ellis with a circus shot for his 20, with plenty of time still remaining in the half.
- I really, really, really don't want want to see any more Brandon Roy Ford commercials this season. Just run unedited Skype video from a car salesman's cell phone — I swear to you it would be more effective as a selling tool.
- A couple minutes left and for Golden State: 19 assists on 20 makes, 5-for-10 from distance (effectively 75% shooting), 7-for-8 from the FT line. Blazers with a massive rebounding differential. Tie game.
- Three straight possessions for Portland ended in turnovers. Highly annoying. The fourth trip was close to disaster.
- Wesley hits the first trey of the half for Portland at the 50 second mark.
- Monta Ellis is REALLY good at basketball. Ellis hit for 10 straight GSW points, 24 for the half. As he stepped to the line, "MVP" chants rang out from the Warrior faithful. MB cattily chimed in: "Let's make an All Star game before we start talking MVP..."
- Marcus Camby with 11 rebounds in the first half.
- HALFTIME SCORE: PDX 57, GSW 56. Matthews with the last 7 points for Portland, including a very nice two-handed jam to take the lead with 3 seconds remaining.
- Nice balanced scoring for the Blazers at the half: Wesley 11, Andre 10, LMA and Nic 8 each, Camby 7, Dante 6.
- Third Quarter begins and Portland starts racking up more offensive rebounds. Not much out of it though.
- The Blazers fail to fight through a pick and the result is an easy David Lee bucket AND ONE when he takes advantage of Wesley Matthews. I still really, really like David Lee.
- A 7-0 Warrior run gets Nate up off the bench for a quick time out. This is not starting well. Monta Ellisl is eviscerating Portland tonight.
- Very good Golden State defense to open the 3rd Quarter. When's the last time you've seen "Golden State" and "defense" in the same sentence in a non-ironic manner?
- LMA lamarcuses his first FT attempts, adding momentum for the inevitable Urban Dictionary campaign for recognition of the phrase. Go get 'em, tigers...
- Four minutes elapsed and the Blazers had 3 points to show for it.
- Blazers started one of their patented second half suck-a-thons and the Warriors opened up a 5 point lead. The Blazer turnover count rose to 12 and Rice came up with not one but two inane stats about how well the Warriors create turnovers.
- Now it is 6 minutes elapsed and the Blazers had 3 points to show for it. The Warrior lead is 7. This projects to a 6 point quarter, which would, ummmmmm, subcede their season low of 9. If you really want to be bad, Blazers, please don't just suck, suck EPICALLY!!! Mediocrity is lame...
- Rice compliments Golden State Head Coach Keith Smart for his extreme wisdom in calling a mandatory Warrior time out at the 6 minute mark. D'oh! Seriously, the Blazer announcers have the worst grasp of the NBA's TV time out rules of any broadcasting crew in the league...
- At 5:41 Matthews finishes AND ONE on a 3-on-2 fast break for his 14. Visions of a record low scoring quarter vanish. Then Nic hits a trey. The dream is dead...
- Blazers again go under a pick leaving Monta Ellis for an easy trey. Defense? Alien concept...
- Blazers started running again and the Blazers got the lead down to 1 — Wesley the big wheel with 18 points at the 3:00 mark.
- Rudy corner 3, Blazer lead, goggles, at the 2:00 mark. Noice!
- Monta Ellis to the Warrior locker room at the 57 second mark, limping. "Ooooooo," says Rice.
- The Blazers finished the period on a 12-3 run to take an itty bitty lead.
- END OF THREE QUARTERS: PDX 80, GSW 78. Blazers outrebounding the Warriors 43 to 20.
- Steph Curry with a miss to go 2-for-12 to open the period.
- Patty Mills good with a deep 3. "Patty Mills can shoot that shot!" Ricey exclaims. Well, uh, yes. Yes, he can.
- Monta Ellis is back after only 1 minute of the 4th Quarter has elapsed, his ankle newly taped.
- LMA capped by a rookie. He grins sheepishly.
- Nic Batum tips in another, his third of the night by my count. "That's what you wanted Travis Outlaw to do, he could jump so well," Rice sadly remembers.
- One thing I like about this game so far: No Luke Babbitt. Just sayin'...
- This has been a nice even game. Good pace and a quality of basketball that is not too bad if you forgive the Blazers their pathetic first 6 minutes of the 3rd Quarter. LMA has been stifled, Wesley playing the role of Macho Man of the evening thus far...
- Steph Curry obviously believes the old adage that "shooters keep shooting." Ice cold.
- LMA bricks a bunny and a minute later clangs a dunk attempt out of bounds at the side. Blech. This is a rough game for him. A 5 point Blazer lead quickly becomes just 1 point.
- 4-on-1 break with a nice Andre touch pass ends with Rudy getting fouled in the face. Rudy bricks the first shot. The Blazers are the undisputed kings of lamarcusing their free throws, no doubt about it.
- Wesley Matthews isn't really Marty Webster 2.0, he's Brandon Roy 2.0. How good is that free agent signing looking now?
- Blazer lead was 6 at the 6:00 mark. Didn't we play this count-down-the-lead game during the last Warriors game?
- Smart went with Reggie Williams over the ice cold Curry at the 6:00 mark. Good move.
- Udoh looks like a real keeper for the Warriors.
- Warriors tied it up with a long ball by Dorell Wright at 3:34. Cheerleaders in Santa skirts danced.
- Rudy not taking an open shot and passing into a breakaway turnover for Wright? NSFBE x 15. What an idiot! That was a game changer. Mega choke. Words don't fail me, but they're ALL CAPS and OBSCENE. It's like the worst QB in the NFL on his own 20 yard line throwing a brain-dead pick-6 on a telegraphed out pattern...
- Golden State was on a 12-0 run and the Blazers had to call time. Warriors 102, Blazers 97.
- MB: "Portland ice cold at the worst possible time." Yep.
- Rad misses a drive to the rack that would be close to dagger. LMA picks the rebound up off the floor. After some buffonery, Wesley takes it to Lee and gets foulled, hitting a pair at 1:30. These were the first Blazer points in 3 and a half minutes.
- Ellis another 3, another telegraphed and totally ridiculous turnover, this time by Wesley, that Ellis takes coast to coast. DAGGER, good night.
- Portland shot 1-for-10 down the stretch, mixing in those idiot turnovers for good measure.
- Golden State won this thing on a 17-2 run, the two Blazer points being free throws...
- Portland is now 1 win and 10 losses in their last 11 visits to Oakland.
Let's take at this thang graphically, shall we?
Here's some swell pictures that you can print out on your Epson and hang on the wall. CLICK THE LINK.
Here's what I see:
A. Back and forth they go, and where they stop, nobody knows. Keep in mind that the biggest spread in either direction was just 8 points — pretty amazing considering how crapalicious the Blazers were for a couple of extended stretches.
B. The 11-1 GSW run at the start of the 3rd Quarter was on the Blazer starters; the 16-2 run in the 4th Quarter that turned the game and won it for them was on Andre, LMA, Wesley, Rudy, and a tag-team of Dante and Nic.
C. Team leader in Plus/Minus was Patty Mills, who was +7 in just over 14 minutes of action. Dodging those two big Portland offensive FAILs will do that for ya.
D. Steph Curry was actually +7 for the night, matching the final margin of victory. This is surprising since he was a horrific 2-for-15 from the floor and couldn't play decent defense because of his ankle. Portland failed to take advantage of him the way they should have, it seems.
E. Andre Miller quietly accumulated a game-high 15 Assists. I still am convinced that the Assist is one of the most overrated stats in basketball.
F. Portland led at the end of the 1st Quarter, led at Halftime, led at the end of the 3rd Quarter, and lost. That seems to be a recurring theme this season... There really is something called "Brandon Time," it would seem...

TRW Automotive, a Tier One global supplier of auto safety products, had a big control problem. "We had always operated as a dozen or so largely independent business units, each with its own systems," says Joe Drouin, vice president and CIO. "As a result, we had dozens of mission-critical applications, including multiple flavors of SAP, running in dozens of different places."
Compliance and disaster recovery were particularly challenging, Drouin recalls. "In our first year of Sarbanes-Oxley, far too much time was spent on internal and external audits of every server and application that was anywhere. We also had one of those classic disaster-recovery plans that was really just a plan, and gosh help us if we ever had to implement it."
The solution: a major consolidation effort. TRW Automotive went from dozens of distributed datacenters to four. And centralized Dell/EMC SAN storage made a viable disaster-recovery strategy much more practical and affordable, while helping the company meet its compliance responsibilities.
Consolidation efforts such as TRW's reflect the imperative that has ruled IT for the past five years: Do more with less. On the ground, that means centralizing and rationalizing datacenters, servers, applications, management tools, and network infrastructure -- the result of mergers, acquisitions, and unconstrained technology growth -- into fewer, standardized, more manageable datacenters and platforms.
Consolidation recently has been given an extra boost, thanks to new technologies such as virtualization and 64-bit, multicore-core hardware that packs more punch into a smaller footprint. At the same time, expectations have risen sharply.
Reducing Costs, Raising the Bar
Five years ago, the main motivation for consolidation was cost reduction. "After the Internet bubble burst, lots of companies looked for ways to cut 30 percent or more from their IT budgets," says Steve Fink, who runs HP's IT consolidation group. "Many succeeded through consolidation. Today, however, it's all about synchronizing business and technology to be more responsive to the customer than your competitors."
Consolidation can be an effective way to gain that agility. "Companies have found that consolidation strategies such as [server and storage] virtualization not only allow them to do more with the resources they have, but to be more flexible, agile, responsive, and available as well," says Michelle Bailey, vice president at IDC. For example, using server and storage virtualization, provisioning can be completed in a fraction of the time.
But agility and efficiency aren't the only motivators. For First American, a leading financial information provider, high availability was key. "As the company became a major information provider, we knew we had to provide super reliability in a very modern datacenter," says First American CTO Evan Jafa. First American has so far consolidated 25 locations to two datacenters, which it built from scratch to provide high-density power and cooling.
The company is not alone. "With the rise of high-density equipment such as server blades, half the datacenters out there are on the way to becoming functionally obsolete within two to three years," says Michael Bell, research vice president at Gartner.

This is the latest installment of our monthly feature called, "Ask the AD." If you have questions for Saluki Director of Athletics Mario Moccia, feel free to submit them by e-mail.
E-Mail a question to Mario Moccia
My son will be joining the Salukis this fall and will be playing tennis for Coach Dann Nelson. I was wondering what the timetable is for the new tennis facility? Will it be ready for fall 2008 action. Can we as parents be involved in helping in any way?
The current plan is for both the southern-most six tennis courts and the rec sports softball fields to be removed in August or September. After this is completed, two new tennis courts will be constructed west of the remaining six courts for a total of eight. It is our hope that these courts will be completed where we could get some use out of them during part of the fall, but we haven't had a specific timetable given to us yet. As this is part of the Saluki Way project, anyone can assist financially, and I'd encourage you to contact Chet Savage, Associate AD for External Operations or Casey Hale, Director of Development at 618-453-3148. We appreciate you and your son's selection of SIU and your interest in assisting us!
Since Carbondale is giving you money, why can't you just add 10,000 seats to Frank Bleyer field and play football there? Does Carbondale really two new football stadiums and two
decaying sites of old football stadiums?
The City of Carbondale's contractual agreement with the University calls for the building of a new football stadium, not the revamping of an existing facility located off-campus. I most certainly believe Carbondale needs separate stadiums for both its high school and University teams. When I was working at Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos High School played their games on Friday nights at our University stadium, but still worked out at their field during the week. At times, sharing a facility is possible, but with visiting teams needing a walk-through on the day before a game, separate facilities are best, in my opinion. There is a plan in place to remove the west and east stands from McAndrew once the new stadium is built and functional. Eventually, when the track is relocated south (by Abe Martin Field), the site will be demolished and it will make room for an undecided University building.
Will the new football stadium be called McAndrew Stadium or will it have a new name?
Typically, when there is a new facility built, it carries a new name. At the college level, typically something within the new facility is selected to memorialize the old stadium. We have had brief discussions about this, but we are not close to making a decision.
Can you break down the ways to give to the athletic department, and what is the area of greatest importance? Does one just give through Opportunity Through Excellence, or should one contribute directly to SASF, Saluki Way, a specific program, etc.? How can I and other smaller dollar donors best help?
There are many ways to give to the athletic department, and I have listed four of the main ones below:
Saluki Way: This is a project that the generated funds will be used to build the football stadium, basketball arena and the attached building that will house new offices and locker rooms. The total cost of this is $83M. Athletics needs to come up with approximately $20M, and we are around $3.5M at the present time. We have a ton of folks on our prospect list and are receiving donations on a regular basis (I like to remind folks that we were at $1.6M not too long ago). The money donated is tax deductable (consult your tax advisor) and aside from the philanthropic aspect, depending on the amount, it will allow donors to place themselves for prime seating in the new facilities, as well as potential naming opportunities. This is a high importance.
SASF: The Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund is our annual fund that goes to offset the scholarships that we give out to all of our student-athletes. As a reminder, when we give a scholarship to Matt Shaw or a women's tennis player, the athletic department has to pay for those, and when the tuition at SIU increases, so does our bill. To put it in perspective, last year we raised about $825,000, and our tuition bill from main campus was about $1,600,000. This year, we might get to $1.1M in the SASF, but our tuition bill is around $1,900,000, so it is always an uphill battle. By donating to the SASF, you receive seating and parking benefits and a priority to MVC and NCAA seating in men's basketball and football. This is a very high priority.
Individual sports: You can still donate to individual sports, which go into an account that the coach can use to purchase things that perhaps their budget doesn't cover. To eliminate everyone just donating to football and men's basketball, we don't give any benefits to this type of giving, other than in our point system, but we don't want to discourage any ex-athlete or fan who has an affinity to just one sport. This is not a high priority for me.
Endowments: This is an amount of money (a minimum of $25,000 before it is considered fully funded) that the principal (or corpus) can't be touched, but it can be added to each year. The interest accumulated can be earmarked to a scholarship or a program. This is a way that a donor's dollars can live in perpetuity and assist someone or some program that they have an affinity with. This isn't too high of a priority for me, as we need more spendable cash to pay our annual bills. Endowments are wonderful tools for a University and are huge at Stanford and Texas A&M, but not my highest priority here.
At the end of the day we appreciate any donations to the athletic program. We always tell donors where our needs are, but in the end, we want them to be happy and put the money where THEY want it to go. Some of my comments about different type of giving reflect where and how I think donations are most needed at SIU at the current time.
You talked about adding lights to Abe Martin Field in the May Ask the AD. What about salvaging the lights from the intramural fields and moving them to Abe Martin?
The lights for the intramural fields would not be up to NCAA standards from a height or foot-candle standpoint. At the present time, the plan calls for the intramural lights to move with the fields to their new location.
Occasionally, people discuss whether a specific athletic program makes or loses money. I have always objected to this mindset. Everything worthwhile has a cost.These same people never ask how much money the student center or health services or other needed facets of the university made or lost. Perhaps you could address this situation?
I believe this has been and probably will be a constant way to rank or rate certain programs. Certainly, we offer athletic programs, marching bands, cheer, etc... that don't make a profit, but at the same time it is also what makes up the fabric of the athletic program and the University as a whole. Those alumni who graduate are the same folks that we ask to support us with ticket purchases and donations, as well as sending their kids to SIU. Most specific athletic programs don't make a profit. At SIU, only men's basketball makes more than it spends, and at my previous institution, the University of Missouri, only football and men's basketball made more than what it took in. When I was at Southwest Texas State, none of the sports took in more than what they spent, so it is all relative. The BCS schools do have an opportunity to make a true profit from a business standpoint, but they are in the minority, and many of them run deficits as opposed to turning a profit. I believe our charge is to be good stewards of the money we receive from the state and student fees and make sure we are being frugal while investing in the areas where we can get a return, while conforming to federal Title IX guidelines and making sure all our student-athletes are being treated in a first-class manner.

The Vigilance Press Podcast guys are at it again! They asked freelancer Leon Chang and Line Developer Jon Leitheusser to come and talk about what's happening in the world of M&M and DC Adventures.
The interview covers a lot of ground, from recent releases like the GM's Kit to where things are at with DC Adventures: Heroes & Villains Volume I (it's in proofing!) to future releases in the games!

Stop into courtroom 4C in the Wake County Courthouse located at 316 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. They conduct KANGAROO COURT daily.
A KANGAROO COURT is a common everyday term for a sham legal proceeding. The outcome of a trial by kangaroo court is essentially determined in advance, for the purpose of ensuring conviction (or in my case, whatever is to be interpreted as so-called "victory" while advancing the agenda of the State, County or other Government entity), either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all. Here in North Carolina deer antler muscle growth Chapter 7B of the North Carolina General Statutes have been written to accommodate such proceedings. These statutes either circumvent and more often attempt to directly undermine the United States Constitution; for the sole purpose of making it easier to initiate an action or proceeding against Parents and entire Families, and to further prolong such proceedings "under the color of law" in the interest of generating Revenue for each of the agencies involved
A KANGAROO COURT'S proceedings deny due process rights in the name of expediency and "Profit." Such rights include; the right to summon witnesses, the right of cross-examination, the right not to incriminate oneself, the right not to be tried on secret evidence, the right to control one's own defense, the right to exclude evidence that is improperly obtained, irrelevant or inherently inadmissible, e.g., hearsay, the right to exclude Judges on the grounds of partiality or conflict of interest, and the right of appeal. Most of these rights are never completely realized in a KANGAROO COURT! Many, not at all!

Have you ever taken a long, uncomfortable trip with a group of people only to realize, when it was over, that no one wanted to go in the first place? Unfortunately when we work in groups we take those trips all the time, both literally and figuratively. Being aware of group process can help you avoid trips to Abilene.
In the first class of this series we discussed the basics of group process and models that help us understand group interactions. In this session, you will have the opportunity to take what you have learned about group process and apply it while working on experiential group problem solving tasks. The session will focus on group decision making and problem solving.
Having participated in Revolutionize Your Team I is recommended, though not required.
If you want to learn more about group process, you can click here.
Project: Each student will create their own strategy for improving their team process
1. Prior to the class you should reflect on past group experiences: think about both what worked well and what could have gone better in your team processes
2. Plan of action: in class we will workshop together to identify what can be improved and how we can apply what we learned in the future.
Coming soon...
