SALAMANCA, SPAIN — Two representatives from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes were invited to be delegates at the world's longest running conservation project and environmental event this year in Spain.
The 10th World Wilderness Congress theme this year was, "Make the World a Wilder Place" celebrating successes of a combination of protection and restoration policies, social recognition of ecological and economic value, and abandonment of rural areas around the globe.
Julie Cajune, Center for American Indian Policy and Applied Research, and Terry Tanner, CSKT Natural Resources Department Mission Mountains Tribal Wilderness coordinator, were asked to present on stewardship within the cultural context of the Flathead Reservation. The teams stories and information were designed to enhance understanding and appreciation of tribal voices to mainstream conservation dialogue that reflects sovereign and indigenous peoples living sustainably.
The Congress brought to light many features of the "wilderness" concept, emphasizing that wild nature can indeed embed peoples and cultures, and sustain livelihoods. It also stressed that wild nature is not a luxury to be enjoyed by a few but an essential patrimony to sustain the health and prosperity of everyone.
In 2005, Vance Martin, The Wild Foundation President, edited and published a book, "Protecting Wild Nature on Native Lands: Case Studies by Native Peoples fro around the World, Volume I. The second volume was produced in 2009 and funded by the Center for American Indian Policy and Applied research at Salish Kootenai College.
Cajune mentions in the book that during a meeting Tanner and Martin attended in Washington D.C. several years ago, Tanner questioned the absence of indigenous people at the table. Martin expressed similar concerns. She said Martin understood the importance of including an indigenous voice in the mainstream conservation dialogue. She said the vision translated into the Native Lands and Wilderness Council (NLWC) that was launched in 2005.
In the book, Martin states, "Native peoples and traditional communities are the original stewards of wild nature, and still control vast areas of wilderness in almost all regions of the world." Martins say indigenous people were left out of the equation and that is now changing.
Marin says The Wild Foundation has worked for almost 40 years to protect and sustain wilderness areas around the world. One important position is the commitment to partner with native peoples. "This began in the 1960s when we started working with the Zulu peoples and other in Southern Africa." He said over the years other countries and situation strengthened the links between indigenous and non-indigenous partners to create a network of people working to protect and sustain the global treasure they call – wilderness.
"It is both our collective heritage and the key to a healthy and prosperous future for all people."
Martin said the publications are a small part of a global community and wide legacy of information and aspiration generated by the network of indigenous groups.
For the past three Congress gathering Cajune said she and Tanner have been co-hosting the NLWC sessions.
Cajune says the third volume is in the works following the latest Congress. "One might think Spain an unusual location for the World Wilderness Congress, but the location was intentional to promote awareness of the Rewilding Europe movement. Rewilding Europe wants to restore natural landscapes in Europe to provide much more space for wildlife, wilderness and natural processes. Rewilding Europe's goal is to rewild one million hectares (a hectare is 10,000 square meters or 2.471 acres) of land by 2020, creating ten magnificent wildlife and wilderness areas of international quality. Dedicated and passionate individuals and organizations are fueling this movement, and I believe they will realize their goal."
Last June, CSKT NRD celebrated the 30-year anniversary of the Mission Mountain Tribal Wilderness management plan – the first and only tribal wilderness established in the United States.
"The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have such an area of beauty unmatched. It is a sanctuary of natural splendor that has earned the tribe an international reputation for stewardship and conservation. Remarkable accomplishments have been realized across the world through efforts of ordinary people who recognized their place in the world and imagined something grand," Cajune said.
Much recognition for the CSKT tribal wilderness comes from the people of the past and present.
At the tribal wilderness anniversary, Tom McDonald, CSKT Tribal Wilderness manager stated, "Strong support came from the elders and Tribal Council. They listened, they thought, and gave us direction."
For over three decades, the direction and support from elected officials on the Tribal Council have given "excellent" direction in protecting the mountains, said McDonald. "It is from our elected officials that were voted in by the people."
The ground was laid decades before the tribal ordinance came in effect 30 years ago, when the Tribal Council attempted to protect the Mission Mountain range in 1936, said White. During that time a vote by Council to set aside 100,000 aces of the western slope of the Missions for an "Indian-maintained national park."
The Tribes pursued to retain ownership but went with a plan to parallel with the National Park Service. The local Bureau of Indian Affairs supported and encouraged tribal member use of the park. However, at the time, according to White, nothing came of the Tribal Council's request in establishing such a park.
Petitions and efforts were back and forth throughout the years to protect the wilderness – and regardless of the conflicts or roadblocks – actual roads were and developments were blocked all the way into 2012.
Today, CSKT Tribal Wilderness Ordinance 79A states, "Wilderness….is the essence of traditional Indian religion and has served Indian people of these Tribes as a place to hunt, as a place to gather medicinal herbs and roots, as a vision seeking ground, as a sanctuary, and in countless other ways for thousand of years."
Participants in this year's Native Land and Wilderness Council included Te Marino Lenihan (Maori, New Zealand), Guy Naehu (Kanaka Maoli, Hawaii), Gisele Martin (Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, Canada), Hawk Rosales (Director of the Intertribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, California), Tashka Yawanawa (Yawanawa Chief, Brazil), Briannon Fraley (Tolowa Dee-Ni', California). Mary Stranahan, The Pema Foundation, and The Joshua Mailman Foundation provided funding for most of these participants. Cajune says, "Without this financial support, the NLWC could not have convened."
"All of these participants presented case studies of their conservation efforts in their homelands. Additionally, there were many other indigenous leaders and land managers at the Congress. A large group from Australia and others from around the world brought a significant indigenous voice to the mainstream conservation dialogue, and people were listening to this voice intently, Cajune added.
Cajune said, NLWC participants were inspired and encouraged by the active presence of youth at the Congress. "In particular a large group of young people from around Europe walked to Salamanca, some of them walking for two months. They were very interested in NLWC communities and arranged time to speak with us."
"While the challenges we face are daunting, groups like these young walkers give hope that change can happen and people will come together across political and cultural borders for a shared cause," Cajune concluded.

Keep in mind it's just the AL when you're reading it. No Royals in Top 10: Montgomery #15 Moustakas #22 Hosmer #25 Duffy #50 not sure whether I missed anyone
With too many outfielders and a full 40-man roster, the Rockies have designated corner outfielder Matt Murton for assignment. While no future star, Matt Murton is a nice player who can hit for average, take a walk, avoid strikeouts, hit the ball in the gaps, and play an average to slighly above average corner outfield. A right-handed hitter, he has mashed LHP (career: 306/374/483, 857 OPS) while holding his own against RHP (career: 276/340/412, 752 OPS). Only 27, he is under club control for four more years (although he may qualify for arbitration next year as a Super 2). There is not a lot of upside, but with regular playing time, he could be a league average (~2.0 WAR) player -- maybe a little more with an age 27-29 peak bump -- for near the league minimum. At the very least, he would make a very good fourth outfielder, especially for a team with two left-handed hitters starting in the corners (like say David DeJesus and Mark Teahen). And yes, a right-handed (and cheaper) Mark Teahen is a fair comparison. This would be a little move, but one that could push the Royals back in a positive direction at little cost.
Eric Seidman at Fangraphs has a nice article summarizing research on when sample sizes become (somewhat) reliable for hitters. The research suggests that the following stats begin to stabilize with the corresponding number of plate appearances: 50 PA: Swing % 100 PA: Contact Rate 150 PA: Strikeout Rate, Line Drive Rate, Pitches/PA 200 PA: Walk Rate, Groundball Rate, GB/FB 250 PA: Flyball Rate 300 PA: Home Run Rate, HR/FB 500 PA: OBP, SLG, OPS, 1B Rate, Popup Rate 550 PA: ISO Did not stabilize by 650 PA (the cutoff): BA, BABIP The underlying work was done by a well respected analyst who goes by the handle Pizza Cutter at the Statistically Speaking blog. His research on pitchers is here.
Short blog/write-up on why Zack has been so good during his 34IP zero-run streak.
FanGraphs will be updating UZR every Sunday. Since we now definitely have enough of sample to get at each player's defensive skill, we can project that over a full year using UZR/150. DDJ: +12.9 Billy Butler: +62.0 Alex Gordon: +13.6 Mike Jacobs: +5.9 Alberto Callaspo: +11.9 Mark Teahen (RF): -0.3 Coco Crisp: -7.1 Mark Teahen (2B): -27.6 Mike Aviles: -18.1 Jose Guillen: -92.0 Willie Bloomquist: -148.4
Also dollar values per year. Obviously, it's not perfect -- not everyone will agree with the defensive stats, market value, or the replacement level. wRAA (wOBA Runs Above Average) isn't yet park adjusted there. bUZR needs to be completed (in the works), arm ratings are needed, as well as baserunning, catcher defense, and so on. It also seems they haven't done pitchers yet... But it's still pretty cool. I like(d) doing it myself and pretending to be an analyst. There goes 85% of my posts, which is probably a relief to you all. You don't need me anymore, if you ever did (although I'm happy to see that many of their evaluations met my own). Hmmmm... since fangraphs also usually carries the James, CHONE, ZiPS, and other projections... well, let's just say it's a good thing BP does fantasy and has EqBRR. Here are some Royals (and others of interest) WARs/$ values (in millions) from 2008. Remember that for position players, "2" is about average: Alex Gordon: 2.7/$12.1 David DeJesus: 3.8/$17.1 Mike Aviles: 4.4/$19.8 Jose Guillen: 0.2/$0.9 Emil Brown: 0.5/$2.1 Coco Crisp: 1.1/$4.9 Mark Teahen: 0.3/$1.2 Mark Grudzielanek: 1.6/$7.0 Alberto Callaspo: 1.2/$5.2 Ross Gload: -0.5/-$3.5 Justin Huber: 0.2/$0.9 Tony Pena, Jr: -1.3/-$5.8 Ryan Shealy: 0.7/$3.2 Billy Butler: 0.1/$0.5 Mike Jacobs: -0.2/-$0.7 Mathew Tupman: 0.1/$0.3
At the request of a party who shall remain anonymous, I have constructed a spreadsheet to give pseudo-Fangraphs-style positional wOBA averages by position for 2008 MLB, AL, and NL. I still think the best general model for such averages is something like this (see my related FanShot here), but it is interesting to see how closely the empirical data from last year matches up. I've even included a silly wOBA-fied version of baseball-reference's OPS+. Since I'm guessing Fangraphs' version of wOBA will become the most frequently cited, I've used a formula that I think they are using -- that is, one that excludes reached base on error (this makes sense for them, since I assume they are using the baseball databank data, which doesn't include that information). They also use custom linear weights for each year, which I don't use here. However, Tom Tango (the creator of wOBA) notes that the weights since 1956 don't stray all that far from the generic formula. I think Fangraphs is great, and is quickly becoming the best source for sabermetric data on the internet -- free or pay. Personally, I prefer that ROE be included in wOBA, since I do think it at least partially reflects player skill. Stat Corner does so (and they also have park-adjusted wOBA*). I would also prefer that both sites includes stolen bases and caught stealings in the formula (I don't think they do -- but correct me if I'm wrong). But they have their reasons. I have a sheet ready with SB/CSs and also one with ROEs if people are interested. Update: Thanks to the coment below, I now realize that Fangraphs does include SB/CS in their wOBA figures, and have corrected the spreadsheet.
Yes, the dastardly Sox site has done something that was asked about last week when Fangraphs added wOBA -- the offensive stat we should all be using. Thanks to Sky for pointing it out and also for agreeing with me that Colin made a mistake with the 3B adjustment. The methodology isn't perfect (to be more precise one would need to judge each position in relation to league average wOBA year-to-year) but it isn't meant to be. It's rough. He has a little chart that includes adjustments for defense, but I'm not going to deal with the headache of arguing about that here (the positional adjustment thing is bad enough, sometimes). So... here are the averages Colin has, and then how some Royals (and new Royals) did in relation to those averages in 2008 -- this is retrospective, not predictive. I'm using StatCorner's version of wOBA because, among other things, it's park-adjusted (wOBA*). Some guys are listed in more than one position for obvious reasons. C .306 Olivo .313 (+.07) Buck .300 (-.06) SS .326 TPJ .189 (-.137) Avilanche .364 (+.038) 2B .335 Grudz .345 (+.010) Callaspo .341 (+.06) German .294 (-.041) CF .335 DDJ .361 (+.026) Gathright .277 (-.058) Crisp .334 ( -.01) MITCH .288 (-.047) 3B .335 Gordon .351 (+.016) Teahen .315 (-.020) RF/LF .354 Teahen .315 (-.039) Guillen .329 (-.025) DDJ .361 (+.07) 1B .364 Gload .304 (-.060) Butler .326 (-.038) Jacobs .342 (-.022)
Fangraphs has added wOBA (weighted On-Base Average), one of the stats that improves on OPS by essentially weighing the relative value of on-base and slugging more accurately and scaling it to league average OBA (.335 is average, .400 is awesome, .300 is virtually replacement value). The link above explains the basics in more detail. The Fangraphs version of wOBA does incorporate SB/CS. The Royals last year were 25th in MLB with a team wOBA of .314. Mike Aviles led the Royals (100 PA min.) with a .360 wOBA, with only David DeJesus (.355) and Alex Gordon (.344) also above average.
I was kicking around drafting a post on impending free agent Jeremy Affeldt based on his surprisingly good numbers this year (in a hitter's park), but Fangraphs beat me to it. Affeldt added a couple miles per hour to his fastball and curve, which resulted in a jump in his strikeout rate and drop in his walk rate without affecting his high groundball rate. While his past struggles might keep the price down, hard throwing lefty relievers who can get righties out tend to do well on the free agent market, so he will not come dirt cheap. But paying a high-leverage reliever mid-leverage reliever money could make for a nice bargain. Relief pitching is obviously not an immediate priority for the Royals, but if the Royals are not going to spend big elsewhere, this is the type of moderate deal that makes the team better without breaking the budget. Plus, adding bullpen depth would allow the Royals to move a reliever for help in a different area of need (which the free agent market likely overvalues).

Being the night after H2H2 is a tough spot to be sure (maybe a little bit like being a little sister of the poor), but I'm in KC and we're headed over to St. Lou to watch our beloved Wings chew up / spit out the Blues in the city that Musial built (and Albert currently resides in...).
Any other WIIM or other Wings fans out there going?? Pre or Post Game libations maybe (and yes, we do this most every year, so I know a couple of spots, close to Scottrade). Shoot me a Reply and we'll figure something out.
Feel free to forward / repost in other Wings sites as well - I'm pretty sure there are some KC folks over in A2Y (and probably others too).

What is one of the toughest decisions you, as an owner and leader, have to make? In my experience, it is when you must fire an executive or leadership team member. Often, they are very effective and talented but unmanageable or so divisive that they are more trouble than they are worth.
Yes, there is more than one side to every story. And great talent doesn't grow on trees. Nevertheless, it has to be done. They have to go. It takes all kinds to run a company but a few bad apples can definitely spoil organizational effectiveness in a hurry. And these days, you just can't afford to keep those kinds of people around. The longer you wait, the more damage they do.
Steve Tobak, managing partner of Invisor Consulting, a Silicon Valley-based strategy-consulting firm has found that there are more or less seven kinds of people you simply have to get rid of. No ifs ands or buts, and sooner rather than later. Here are his magnificent seven …
1. They're a Troublemaker. With all of our issues and dysfunctions, I sometimes wonder how anything gets done at all. Still, we manage the best we can. And when employees create more problems than they're worth, when the damage they do to the organization weighs more heavily than their achievements, then it's time to cut them loose.
2. They Overpromise and Underdeliver. Some people have such overly inflated self-images that they either think they can do anything or crave the attention they get by making big boastful promises. But when their egos consistently write checks their capabilities can't cash, that's a real problem that's not likely to be resolvable without a good shrink.
3. They Act Out With Customers. I don't care if you have a small business or work at a Fortune 500 company, customers are hard to gain and easy to lose. The one thing you don't need is an employee who works with customers and somehow doesn't get that business is about winning and keeping customers, not him and his bad attitude.
4. They Can't or Won't Do the Job. You hire and pay people to do a job. Your job is to be clear about what that entails and give them the tools and training they need to get the job done. Their job is then to do it. If they either can't or won't after a few chances, then you've probably given them one chance too many.
5. They Flake. Some people look the part but, when push comes to shove, you can't count on them to get the job done or even to show up on a regular basis. Whatever the specifics, you can never tell when they're going to flake and you just can't trust them. Life is too short to have employees like that.
6. They're Entitled. Some people are more thin-skinned, litigious, and entitled than they have any right to be. Half their mind is on the job and the other half is just waiting for someone to slip up so they can whine and complain and maybe even threaten litigation. Don't give in to that kind of behavior. Cut them loose. They might throw a fit and you might get sued, but they can only do it once, and then you're rid of them for good.
7. They Ignore Conduct. Whatever the rules of conduct are for your company and its culture, you've got to uphold them fairly and consistently across the board. Whether an employee was insubordinate to her boss or a top executive lies about something material on his resume, if it happened and it breaks the rules, you should walk them out the door.
Tobak concludes: "People are always complaining about how stressful their job is but, in my experience, there's nothing more stressful than having to deal with employees who aren't cutting it and drag down the whole organization. Quit thinking about it and just get rid of them. You'll sleep better at night–and so will the rest of your team."

Stability wasn't always the norm. Between 2003 and 2008 average retail gasoline prices more than doubled, reaching an all-time high of $4.11 per gallon in 2008. Prices then collapsed as the U.S. plunged into recession. But after a two-year run-up between 2009 and 2011, the price of gasoline has remained in a range of roughly $3.25 to $3.75 per gallon.

In the second month of the quarter, the focus of investors shifts from the recently completed quarterly earnings season to the more broad economic landscape.
This month is no different, as first-quarter earnings are essentially in the books. For those companies that have reported, earnings are up 1.6 percent compared to first quarter 2013, and revenues are up 0.6 percent.
There is a lot of talk these days about social entrepreneurs and social ventures but not a lot of clarity around what this really means.

As Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam seeks re-election, he has some challengers in the statewide August Republican primary and he'll face a Democratic opponent in the November general election.
But Haslam's path to re-election in 2014 should be an easy one. He is heavily favored as the incumbent with no Democratic contender who is backed by the state Democratic Party establishment.
Career transitions are all the rage these days. Whether it's moving between jobs more frequently or updating your skill set midstream, change is happening. One trend growing in popularity is employees who are making a move between the nonprofit and corporate worlds.

New beginnings are a constant throughout our lives as well as the seasons -- religious, cultural, natural, even sports – that many of us rely on to mark the path those lives take.
One of the more difficult aspects of maintaining a new beginning for so many of us is that it often represents a new way of looking at a world that doesn't appear to have changed that much or even enough to match the change we are undergoing.

The workers benefited, and so did lower-wage retailers such as Wal-Mart: When its staffers left for better-paying jobs, they could spend more at its stores. And the U.S. economy gained, too, because more consumer spending fueled growth.

But with a few keystrokes you can go right to www.glassceiling.com.

Venti Girl Holiday Gift Guide: The Man Who Has It All
According to my husband, a man who arrives a ta certain status in life must develop a robust knowledge and expertise of one or more of the following: good scotch, hunting, cigars, fine watches or golf. Since I'd be hard pressed to select the right set of clubs for him, and the cigars, hunting and scotch are best shared with fellow males, that leaves me with the lovely task of admiring pretty timepieces.
The latest in my long list of potential candidates is the Ball Trainmaster One Hundred Twenty. Much like my husband, it has classic styling with modern functionality. According to Luxist, this collector's edition luxe watch features a "very shock resistant and antimagnetic case (here in 18k rose gold and 39.5mm wide), as well as use of tritium gas tubes in the hour markers and hands. These tubes are filled with a naturally glowing material for perfect darkness reading for about two decades before the light begins to dim."
Why he'll love it: he'll be able to see the time in the dark of the night and can knock this around without fear of it losing its functionality or handsome good looks.
What I like about it: it's handsome, yet pretty. The clean face features sapphire crystal and is attached to wither a brown or black crocodile strap.
What I'm afraid to discover: the price. I've not seen the actual list price listed online anywhere.

Bill O'Reilly Rips Tom Hanks for Mocking Fox News on MSNBC
Bill O'Reilly fired back at Tom Hanks on Friday after the Oscar-winning star mocked Fox News on MSNBC earlier in the day.
As NewsBusters previously reported, Hanks was on "Morning Joe" yesterday attacking Fox News, Ann Coulter, and Tea Partiers.
"[H]e goes to a very low rated, left-wing network, where he poses as a producer playing off a video that showed a fight in an Italian TV newsroom," said O'Reilly.
"Now, that doesn't diminish his talent, which is major, but it does make him kind of a mindless partisan" (video embedded below the fold with transcript):
BILL O'REILLY, HOST: For some reason, actor Tom Hanks, who's had a great career, has moved far to the left politically. Now Mr. Hanks is promoting an HBO program. But he won't appear on FOX News, by far, the highest rated cable network.
Instead, he goes to a very low rated, left-wing network, where he poses as a producer playing off a video that showed a fight in an Italian TV newsroom. The whole thing was beyond bizarre.
TOM HANKS: We can go back to the Italian FOX Network.
I want to show that again because I'll add the translation. I think the problem with the Tea Party members is that right now, they're not going to get along. We have to all be - I tell you right now, you know, you put that on the Internet like that, I'm going to kill you. That's not the right story. You can't do that to Ann Coulter. She's a pretty woman.
O'REILLY: A real riot, Alice. And here's the deal with Mr. Hanks. If he has a political beef with FOX News or conservatives or whomever, he should state it. Be a man. Tell us what you think. Most Americans respect that
But over the years, Mr. Hanks has become an ideological sniper. And I still don't know why he's like that. What's his beef? What's he talking about? Nobody knows. Now, that doesn't diminish his talent, which is major, but it does make him kind of a mindless partisan. Again, state your case, Tom. Don't be a pinhead.
Yeah, Tom - don't be a pinhead!

Do me a favor and don't take this too seriously.
The Timberwolves determined early on in the scouting process that DeMarcus Cousins is at least the 3rd best player in this draft. The Wolves want Cousins more than they want Favors and possibly Turner. When they met at the combine in Chicago, Kahn and friends gave Cousins and his agent a guarantee that they will select him if he falls to the fourth pick.
There are two key assumptions that need to be true to make this story work:
Assumption 1
Kahn values Cousins above Favors, and possibly above Turner. Kahn has not stated this to be the case. In fact he has stated the opposite. However, let's see if there is a case to be made for this idea.
-Cousins stated that he "got a very good vibe" from Minnesota in his Chicago interview, and said that he is confident they will draft him. Interview
-Kahn recognizes the need for a superstar. I personally think that Cousins has more potential to become a true superstar than anyone else in this draft, and I know I am not alone. It is possible that Kahn and/or respected members of his scouting staff agree with me.
-It seems clear that Kahn and friends recognize that the days of the Love + Jeff duo are behind us. This makes Cousins as much of a "need" pick as anyone else.
-Kahn recognizes the importance of a true center like Cousins... Just read this Kahn quote about Dexter Pittman.
He's 6' 11", he's a center, and in this league there's a dearth of centers, especially those that have that kind of size and physicality about them. He's very intriguing
Assumption 2
There are other teams that view Cousins as one of the top 2 talents in this draft, and thus diversionary tactics are necessary.
-Cousins is a stats darling, and with many of the successful teams in the league going in that direction, there are bound to be some teams that value Cousins very highly and would be interested in moving up to snag him at the 2 or 3. There has been a lot of chatter about this being the case. Could you imagine what he would do for the Thunder... makes me shudder.
-Cousins is working out for Philly this Friday and New Jersey on the 21st. Cousins makes a lot of sense in Philly, and a bit less in NJ, but smart teams know not to draft for need in the early lottery anyway. It would not be that surprising if either or both of these teams valued Cousins as the best available talent.
Reinterpreting recent interactions with the media:
While it is completely contrary to the actual words spoken over the last few weeks, I think when we look into the underlying strategy, the behavior of both the Wolves' camp and Cousins' camp is actually very consistent with this theory.
The Wolves Camp:
Kahn has seemed to "let it slip" to everyone and their grandmother that he will draft any player except Cousins with the fourth pick. One explanation for this behavior is ignorance, but Kahn has consistently struck me as a slippery enough fella to know better. Even if Kahn really didn't like Cousins I feel like he would recognize the value and play his cards accordingly.
Strategically speaking, the only way it makes sense for Kahn to let it leak that he is "all in" on Wes at 4 is if he really wants Cousins and doesn't want another team to steal him at the 2 or 3. By advertising a disinterest in Cousins, Kahn leads other teams interested in Cousins to (a) move up to Sacto's pick rather than Philly's or NJ's in order to satisfy their Cousins crush at a cheaper price (thus leaving Cousins for us at 4). Or if the Nets or 76ers secretly covet Cousins, they will take Turner/Favors and hold him ransom to Kahn for Cousins + (thus leaving Cousins for us at 4).
The Cousins Camp:
Here is the most recent statement about the Cousins camp's Wolves relations:
In fact, Cousins won't even come in to work out with the team, his agent, John Greig, told me. Greig, along with a league source, disputes a report that Cousins wasn't invited to Minnesota. Greig said he believes Minnesota is already locked into Johnson at No. 4 and wants to keep Cousins focused on places he could realistically go.
This is a very strange angle for an agent to take. The difference between the 4 and the 5/6 could be millions of dollars. You don't just decide not to try to move up because you don't think the higher team has interest. How can you interpret "...to keep Cousins focused on places he could realistically go" and anything but garbage talk? What does Cousins level of focus on teams drafting him change?? I do not buy the agents story at all. It could be that Cousin's doesn't like Minnesota, that the agent doesn't think the Wolves are a functional franchise, or maybe that Minny didn't invite Cousins and his agent is lying (although Kahn also said they are trying to bring him in so that doesn't make sense). The one thing I am confident in is that the agent's stated reasoning is BS.
However it does make sense for Cousins' agent to advise him to opt out of a Minnesota workout if he already has a commitment from them. Given what I just discussed about Kahn above, it would also make sense that if such a commitment was made, Kahn would have asked that Cousins and his agent keep very quiet about said deal. In this case, the tale about not working out for Minnesota because of Kahn's Wes Johnson infatuation makes perfect sense. It is exactly the story that Kahn would have asked him to tell.
What do you think? BS or complete BS? Please feel free to either add to or poke holes in this story.

text: Hi folks. My name is Leonardo the Cat. My good friend Mike Long is taking a few days off, so Im writing this review. Now, you may be wondering how a cat is qualified to review DVDs. Well, Ive watched plenty of them with Mike, so I hope that Ive learned a thing or two along the way. But, I think that Im very qualified to review this particular DVD, as its the cat-filled opus, "Stephen Kings Sleepwalkers". This movie is a dream come true for us cats, who are usually portrayed as villains or used as a cheap scare when we leap from a dumpster. Im very excited about this film arriving on DVD, and Im here to tell you all about it. "Sleepwalkers" was the first Stephen King project, which was written exclusively for the big screen. As the film opens, we are presented with the legend of the Sleepwalkers, a nomadic race of feline-like shape-shifters whose lone enemy in this world is felinus domesticus, or for you non-phylum types, cats. The Sleepwalkers are believed to be the basis for all vampire legends. We then meet Mary Brady (Alice Krige) and her son Charles (Brian Krause), who have just moved to Travis, Indiana. Mary and Charles are very close. Read my snout, very close. In their first scene together, Charles seduces his mother. Now thats close! You humans are weird. We immediately begin to suspect that these Bradys arent going to live up to their TV namesake. Charles then sets his sights on Tanya (Madchen Amick). When the two first meet, they are both very shy, and they agree to go out together. Its at this point that King takes off the gloves, flexes his dewclaw and goes for the throat. We quickly learn that Charles and Mary are Sleepwalkers. Charles has decided to steal Tanyas "lifeforce" so that he and his mother may live. The only person that can protect Tanya isnt a person at all, its Clovis the Attack Cat! (Its about time that the cats showed up!) From this point on, the movie becomes a fun-filled roller coaster ride as the police and every cat in town follow Clovis to put an end to the Sleepwalkers reign of terror. While watching this film, one can almost hear Stephen King laughing in the background. This is a fun movie and you can tell that King had a ball writing it. While there have been some very good adaptations of Kings work, which closely mirror the stories in his writing, "Sleepwalkers" was the first film that came close to matching the macabre depravity that resides in Kings books. The slow-motion scene of hundreds of cats running down Main Street may border on camp, but if not taken too seriously, its fun. Personally, it made me cry. Director Mick Garris would go on to work with King regularly with TVs "The Stand" and "The Shining", shows great skill with "Sleepwalkers". One of the scariest scenes in the film is filmed in broad daylight and Garris pulls it off perfectly by employing rapid cuts and shooting from strange angles. Trust me, having lived with Mike, Ive seen my share of horror films and it takes a lot to excite me. But during the finale, as I was cheering for Clovis, I was on the edge of my seat (and my paws still couldnt reach the floor!) Besides Garris confident direction and Kings wild script, "Sleepwalkers" also boasts a strong cast. Brian Krause and Madchen Amick may not be the best actors on Earth, but their good looks and charm help to create an image of innocence and young love that King quickly shatters. Krige is just plain creepy as the mom. And, as with Garris mini-series, "Sleepwalkers" is full of cool cameos. John Landis, Tobe Hooper, Clive Barker, Joe Dante, and even King himself pop up in small roles. But, the best cameo comes from Zippy the Wonder Squirrel, who can be seen at the right side of the screen at the 0:32:00 mark. What an actor! Also, Mike says that any movie featuring a 78 Trans-Am has to be good... whatever that means. The "Sleepwalkers" DVD from Columbia/Tri-Star Home Video brings us a transfer that will have you purring. The film has been letterboxed at 1.85:1 and is enhanced for 16x9 TVs. This framing of the image appears to be accurate, as there is no obvious loss of information at the top or bottom of the screen. The digital transfer has rendered the film very crisp and clear, showing only a subtle amount of grain at times. There are no obvious problems from artifacting or compression, nor are there any other issues, such as distortion or over-scanning of horizontal lines. The colors really stand out on this transfer. The fleshtones are all natural, and the reds and blues (just look at both of Charles cars) really stand out. It should also be noted that the pan-and-scan version of "Sleepwalkers" is also accessible on the DVD. The audio on the DVD is a Dolby 2-channel surround mix, that offers a good soundfield and packs quite a punch. Besides the expected clear and audible dialogue, the surround mix brings us a nice presentation of music, sound effects, and ambient sounds. While looking for Zippy the Wonder Squirrel in Chapter 9, note how the music, the car engines, and the dialogue, are all nicely mixed and appropriately placed in the speakers. This DVD is oddly shorn of special features. Instead of getting the theatrical trailer for "Sleepwalkers", we are treated to five bonus trailers. The trailers included are for "The Tingler" (full-frame), "Johnny Mnemonic" (full-frame), "Screamers" (full-frame), "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (letterboxed at 1.85:1), and "Night of the Living Dead" (1990) (full-frame). The only other extra feature are talent files, which mainly consist of filmographies. And although I rarely review the actual DVD when I review DVDs, the DVD for "Sleepwalkers" have a very interesting graphic on it. Overall, I was very impressed by "Stephen Kings Sleepwalkers". It was scary, funny, gross, exciting, and chock full ocats. What else could you want? While the DVD could have used many, many more extra features (wheres the behind-the-scenes interview with Clovis?), it does offer a very nice audio and video package. Fans of the film, or their cats, will definitely want to check out this DVD. I just have one final question, and, believe me, this isnt something that I would usually endorse. If the Bradys were so worried about cats, why didnt they just get a dog?

News: Lloyd Banks Looks To Wu-Tang Clan & Lox W/ "Hunger For More 2"
Tuesday, Sep 7, 2010 11:05PM
G-Unit's Lloyd Banks has opened up about what fans can expect from his Hunger For More 2 album and what artists are currently being considered as guest features.
As things stand now, Banks is looking to feature his G-Unit crew along with some hip-hop veterans including Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon and The Lox's Styles P.
"As far as features go, of course, 50 Cent is on the project, Tony Yayo is on the project," Banks revealed in an interview. "I got Raekwon on a joint, I just spoke to him. Just spoke to Styles P, waiting on that back. Nipsey Hussle and a few other things that's still in the workings. I'm in the tailor end of the project right now. Just waiting for the features to get back and seeing who's a good fit then the next week or so, I'll have a more realistic list of what they can expect from HFM2." (Civilized Talk)
Recently, Banks compared putting the new LP together to his 2004 debut, Hunger For More.
"Me personally, I just want to be respected, I want to be on the wall," Banks said in an interview. "On the wall, before I'm dead. The Hunger For More Part 2, HFM Part 2 man, it's been about three years since my last album. My first album came out June 29th, '04, I remember it like yesterday. Part of the reason I decided to go with the title, HFM Part 2 was because everything happened to me, the ['Beamer, Benz or Bentley'] record came and it was like, I felt the energy I hadn't felt since the beginning and at the same time, I had the bulk of the album done because I was in a mixtape vein and I just wanted to get the 'feel good' records out, the club joints, the car joints, and then just push from there. And I just had so many similarities from there, from writing, recording on the road, like, I wrote 'Warrior' and 'Fire' in London and then I wrote a few songs in Amsterdam, some in my neighborhood, so just with me moving around like that, I was like, 'You know what, I'm just gonna go back to that because it feels like a new beginning.' Crazy." (Power 106 KMEL)
Last spring, Banks talked about putting the new project together while overseas.
"Yeah, I'm still recording," Banks explained in an interview. "A lot of people don't know I recorded the Hunger For More, the first album, on the tour bus. Just being on tour, hitting different countries and that kinda helped the process along. Funny thing is I just came back from the European tour again, so I wrote a lot of records on the road -- of course [guest featuring] 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, I got a couple people I'm working with that would be considered to be controversial, so I can't really let it out the bag. A lot of people I work with are going to be controversial because I haven't worked with a lot of artists. Not because I didn't want to..." (BET)
In March, he discussed how much of a role 50 had on his third solo LP.
"He's actually heard a bulk of my records," Banks said about 50. "A lot of people don't realize that he's still the boss. I look to him for that guidance and when there's not many people to turn, I can turn left and see [Tony] Yayo and I can turn right and see 50. Both of their opinions matter when it comes to picking the records and vice versa. This just happens to be the first record that people have heard with me by myself. So that would probably be the only difference from the first two albums and me going into this album, that my first single is not featuring 50 Cent...As far off as people see Lady Gaga -- her records are poppin' so I don't think that would be a problem. It would just have to be the right music. I like all different kinds of music to be honest with you." (VIBE)
As of now, Hunger For More 2 drops Tuesday, November 23rd.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island man identified as a person of interest in the death of a baby found buried in his backyard has agreed to give temporary custody of his two sons to the government.
His lawyer, Byron Divins, said Robert Rodriguez agreed in court Tuesday to let his sons, ages 6 and 9, live with a foster family.
State police on Saturday discovered the remains of a baby buried in the backyard of the two-family home Rodriguez shared with his girlfriend, Heather Kowalczik.
Police said Kowalczik told them her 17-month-old son, Justin, died in the summer of 2010. Neither he nor Kowalczik has been charged in the investigation.
Divins told Newsday his client lost his job and thought it was best for someone else to care for his sons.

There is consensus that incorporating clinical decision support into electronic health records will improve quality of care, contain costs, and reduce overtreatment, but this potential has yet to be demonstrated in clinical trials.
To assess the influence of a customized evidence-based clinical decision support tool on the management of respiratory tract infections and on the effectiveness of integrating evidence at the point of care.
Design, Setting, and Participants
In a randomized clinical trial, we implemented 2 well-validated integrated clinical prediction rules, namely, the Walsh rule for streptococcal pharyngitis and the Heckerling rule for pneumonia.
Interventions and Main Outcomes and Measures
The intervention group had access to the integrated clinical prediction rule tool and chose whether to complete risk score calculators, order medications, and generate progress notes to assist with complex decision making at the point of care.
The intervention group completed the integrated clinical prediction rule tool in 57.5% of visits. Providers in the intervention group were significantly less likely to order antibiotics than the control group (age-adjusted relative risk, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.60-0.92). The absolute risk of the intervention was 9.2%, and the number needed to treat was 10.8. The intervention group was significantly less likely to order rapid streptococcal tests compared with the control group (relative risk, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58-0.97; P = .03).
Conclusions and Relevance
The integrated clinical prediction rule process for integrating complex evidence-based clinical decision report tools is of relevant importance for national initiatives, such as Meaningful Use.

Surveillance video caught on several cameras at Pamela and Jose Contreras' home shows a calculated criminal taking his sweet time burglarizing their property early Friday morning.
"He acted like he just owned the place and went through everything," said Pamela.
She says she had no idea what was going on, that is until this gutsy criminal takes it a step further.
He breaks into a pick-up, an s-u-v and the family's new car and steals several items.
"I thought this car was locked so I don't know how he got in," she said.
But then he heads toward the front door. From one angle you can see him messing with the lock, he's about to step inside when the house alarm goes off. He makes a run for it.
"I was completely shocked when I saw somebody was actually breaking in the house especially in this area," she said. But now that someone has, she's hoping this surveillance video helps FOX 26 viewers identify the criminal.
"I think this man looks like he's done this plenty of times and he'll continue doing it unless he gets caught," she said.
Fort Bend County Sheriff's investigators were able to lift fingerprints from one of the cars.
A good sign, she says, because if this criminal thinks there will be next time at their home, her husband will once again be ready to defend their property.
"He could've shot this guy and it wouldn't have ended good for him or for us," Pamela said.
The family is once again stepping up security. They've already installed motion-sensor lighting outside the house.

This steep crack, to the immediate right of Butterfly McQueens' Birthday provides a long crack with several short crux sections between good to decent rests. Although it is flared, it has enough non-flared placements to protect it well with nuts and fingers to hand-sized cams. One bouldery move leads to a good ledge where the fun begins, go up the crack using jams and face holds and cobbles. The crux comes 3/4 of the way up and involves pulling over a roof using face holds while reaching for jams above. This is one of the better trad lines I've been on at Castlewood--steep climbing up a continuous crack that offers good pro.
