This blog was started by Jane Tsong and Mike Woodward. We soon asked Severin Martinez, of Walk Eagle Rock to join us. By chance, we represent three generations! We encourage you to share your comments and ideas with us.
Pedal, Walk, Talk
Growing up, hedgerows and vacant lots were our playground. Our favorite toys included fireflies, milkweed, japanese beetles, mud, and pussy willows. In high school, I would walk for hours through cornfields and new growth forests, to see what I might find. Those spaces are still my favorite: the ones that have no name or fixed use, that are full of possibilities…
I passed over Los Angeles via LAX many times before actually moving here. My first impressions were of a vast landscape of uniformly gridded streets, lit equally uniformly at night. Even in a car, you could drive for hours and the landscape hardly appears to change. Learning more about the history of land use in this area, I was relieved to find that all those featureless flat stretches of the city actually once had their own quirks, ruts, swampy areas, creeping inhabitants, things that only an adventurous local of a certain vintage might know…. all those things that make each place different from every other place in the world, all those things that make you feel something when you know a place.
Experienced on foot, the land is full of idiosyncrasies. It just takes a little looking to discover the patterns in the gaps between asphalt and infill. Even among this big grid, rigged to support artificial microclimates mimicking every part of the world with botanical things from everywhere, every place still has a spirit of place.
— Jane Tsong
Getting Back On My Feet
This blog is going to be about ped power. Not just about pedestrian issues, but also cycling and the use of public transportation.
I have been an ideal Angeleno since moving here in 1971: I drove everywhere. I only took public transportation when my car was in the shop. I bicycle for recreation, not for business. And I don't really walk to get anywhere; I drive some place then go for a hike.
I want to change my ways. And, in the ego-driven world of the twenty-first century I'm going to blog about it so I can inflict the trials and tribulations of that change on the general public.
At this point I know almost nothing about the public transportation system, though I do like riding the Gold Line. I haven't ridden my bike on the street very much because, frankly I'm afraid of being run over. And, while our ancestors thought little of walking six miles to visit the neighbors that seems like a long way to me.
So my goal in this is to undertake an exploration of public transportation, to overcome my fear of death and ride my bike on the street, and to be one of the daring few pedestrians in Eagle Rock.
I want to look at the basics of transporting myself without a car like, figuring out where the buses actually go; how to get and use a TAP pass; putting your bike on the front rack without it getting squashed by the bus.
I also want to look at destinations by bus, foot and bike. What's within a short walk from each bus stop? Who has bike racks nearby?
What are the obstacles to a more pedestrian lifestyle, besides the aforementioned vehicular manslaughter?
After exploring how to make it in Eagle Rock, and as the song says, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere, I'll begin branching out, but with Eagle Rock as the center, after all, it is my home.
– Mike Woodward
It's The Choices We Make
You might know me better as the author of Walk Eagle Rock. I have lived in Eagle Rock permanently since 2003 but only started to view our town from a pedestrian and bicyclist perspective in 2009.
I am a college student and have never driven or owned a car. However, until I started walking and bicycling and taking transit by choice, I aspired to learn how to drive, borrow my mom's car and get places with an automobile like many people my age. I principally bike, walk, and take transit now because I want to support a more livable community. It is a privilege to join Jane and Mike, I hope to contribute as meaningfully as they have.

At least according to Berry Tramel at The Oklahoman - http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2010/10/05/college-football-will-texas-keep-will-muschamp/
Here is an excerpt -
"A Texas source said over the weekend that UT might encourage Mack Brown to retire, that the 'Horns might be ready to commence with the Muschamp era. Not because of any dissatisfaction of Brown, but because of a belief in Muschamp. That's the extent of Texas' devotion to Muschamp, who is in his third year as the UT defensive coordinator and has been designated Brown's successor."
It would be interesting to know who the "source" is and how much credibility the source has - assuming there's even a shred of truth. I still don't see Georgia letting Richt go this year despite the losing record - I think they've got too much invested and don't want to shell out millions to let him go and millions more to bring someone in. But that's college football politics, so what do I know?
There's rumor LSU would like to throw Miles out too.

Thank goodness finals are wrapping up this week for me (and hopefully anyone else still left taking them). Woot! I will be officially halfway done with law school after this week! :D
Meanwhile, in topics:
1. Baseball: In local teams,
(a) David Price continues to float around and I don't mind if the Dodgers didn't acquire him.
(b) The Angels got stronger with some pitching. But they're still stuck with Pujols and Hamilton...
(c) The Dodgers got Uribe back for 2 years, $15 million. That means they'll get some production out of him during the second, but not first, year of his contract...
2. Sherlock is coming back to BBC on New Years Day!
3. Season 2 of Walking Dead (Computer game) is being released this week!
4. I got a Hearthstone beta key finally! I like the simplified version of Magic the Gathering that it has.
5. Peter O'Toole, best known for playing T.E. Lawrence "of Arabia" has passed away at the age of 81.
It's snowing out here in Boston pretty consistently. Hope you all in California (and elsewhere) are staying warm (for some easier to accomplish than others) and have great Christmas/Holiday plans!

148 years after two of the South's greatest cities were nearly destroyed during the Civil War, one has recovered to return as a national powerhouse, while one the other hasn't gotten beyond its reputation as a southern college town.
Both Atlanta and Columbia were conquered and burned by the Union Army. While Atlanta has grown to nearly 5.5 million people, Columbia is home to about 130,000.
But Columbia businessman Frank Knapp says the Capital City has something her Georgia counterpart lacks.
"We have things here from the Civil War, that Atlanta has nothing," said Knapp. "While everyone knows about the burning of Atlanta, you can't find anything from the Civil War. It's all torn down."
And Knapp thinks Columbia could capitalize on that history.
"Here you can follow the same roads that (General William T.) Sherman's army followed to enter the city of Columbia and see where the skirmishes took place, see exactly what Sherman and his troops saw."
And when it comes to Civil War research, Knapp says historians come to Columbia. Much of the information used for Knapp's documentary, Sherman's March: Final Revenge, was found in Columbia.
"We have a wealth of information here," he said. "It's right here in South Carolina at the South Caroliniana Library at USC. Scholars come here to research the Civil War."
Knapp thinks Columbia could take a lesson in historical tourism from Charleston.
"It's truly amazing what you can do today here," said Knapp. "Charleston does it. Other cities do it, but we've really never taken advantage of it.
Although the Historic Columbia Foundation offers historic homes and tours, Knapp says more could be done to lure tourists to experiences beyond touring homes and reading historical markers.
"Tourists love that," he said. "They love history. And if you make them see it, touch it and feel it, they'd love it even more.
Knapp says the Confederate Flag on the Confederate Memorial Monument at the State House shouldn't keep the city from promoting its historical past.
"Other cities got beyond that," he said. "Charleston got beyond that."
"Tell the story," said Knapp. "Tell the truth. We should do more of that."

It's official. A parade held earlier this month in Winter Park to honor a hometown hero will be featured in a Budweiser commercial during Super Bowl XLVIII. The game airs this Sunday, February 2, on FOX 35.The parade was in honor of Lt. Chuck Nadd's return home from military service in Afghanistan."To have our city featured during Super Bowl XLVIII is a special privilege and to know this honors our brave soldiers makes it even better," said Winter Park Mayor Ken BradleyNadd, a 2007 graduate of Trinity Preparatory School and a Black Hawk pilot, was treated to the fanfare including bands and the Budweiser Clydesdales. It was a complete surprise and a bit overwhelming for Lt. Nadd."It's a real blessing to see how much everyone cares, because a lot of times, you're in tough circumstances or you're in situations where you don't know if folks back home remember," said Lt. Nadd. "Days like today show that everybody really does remember, and that means a lot. Like I said, there are so many folks who have given so much more than me. We just want to keep them in our thoughts and prayers, folks who are still back there, because they're really the heroes."

Renowned Journalist's Year 3 visit
Photo: Budding journalists in Year 3 quiz former ABC Journalist Judy Tierny.
Award-winning former ABC Journalist Judy Tierny visited Year 3 to discuss and answer questions regarding the 1975 Tasman Bridge Disaster. Ms Tierny was the first reporter on the scene and recorded the event for radio, with her stories reaching a national audience.
Year 3 have been investigating the disaster and had a wide range of questions for Ms Tierny, who acted as an excellent primary source of historical information. She was able to tell lots of stories and give a valuable insight to the terrible night. Year 3 have taken the opportunity to ask grandparents, parents and teachers about the event to enable a clearer and more empathetic understanding and to develop their knowledge as historical investigators.

and a nightmare for the Knicks. Carmelo Carmela would not have had as much of a positive impact on the Nets other key players (Lopez, Humphries, Morrow, Outlaw, etc. )in comparison to Deron in the immediate or in the long run. He would have had a negative vibe since he would have been forced to "settle" for the Nets as opposed to the "Duh Garden." His lackluster effort on defense and rebounding would have rub off on the other players and "muddy" Avery's celebration for sure. Additionally, we would have been in worse off shape as far as cap flexibility to improve in the near future since we would have taken additional bad contracts to seal the deal and be in position that would have force us to pay a 35 years old point guard 14 million dollars next year. A very understated point is that we will be able to sign Deron to the NEW CBA-FRIENDLY Max Player extension as opposed to Carmelo's NEW CBA BURDENSOME 3 years 65 million extension.
Knicks, on th other hand, had a much more versatile and balanced team before Carmela. Now the team is too top-heavy with no Bigs to speak of and more importantly, the two top stars (Carmela and Amare) have the same flaws (lack of defense, passing, rebounding) and attributes (scoring which the Knicks already had in abundance). In short, they do not compliment each other to maximize the team's performance a la Wade and Lebron. To make matters worse, the Knicks have the worse coach to mesh this new team and to deal withs its primary weakness defense in Antoni. I feared the old Knicks team more than this team and the Nets are much more an improved team. I look forward to this rivalry for the next few years and that is why I think it would be a classic "Prokhorov move" to obtain one of the previous Knicks (Chandler/Gallo) to haunt them for years.

Psychology is a popular major nationally and at UW-L. Students knowledgeable about their options and opportunities gain the most from their educational experiences. We strongly advise that you start you exploration of psychology programs by visiting the UW-L Psychology Advising Center pages. When you are interested in additional information the tabs above provide links to the catalog pages and additional resources for each of the following programs:
Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) in psychology? Within the College of Liberal Studies, students have the choice of earning either a BA or BS in psychology. The decision should be based on students' interests and strengths as the primary difference is in the general education requirements associated with required language classes (BA) or additional required science courses (BS). Psychology's new major tutorial covers the difference in depth.
UW-L's undergraduate minor in psychology - program requirements and course descriptions
To minor in psychology
UW-L's undergraduate minor in At-risk child and youth care - program requirements and course descriptions.
*Spring 2014 - changes have been made to the minor. The checksheet attached below is the most current version (the catalog link above is more dated).
At-Risk Child and Youth Care Minor (All colleges) - 21-30 credits (depending on major)
The child youth care minor is a multidisciplinary program designed to provide students with knowledge and skills necessary to promote the well being of all children and adolescents. Special attention is given to vulnerable/at-risk populations within the context of the family, the community, and the life span. This emphasis assists students who may work within a wide variety of settings including: early child care and education, community-based and youth development programs, parent education and family support, school based programs, community mental health, group homes, residential centers, day and residential treatment, early intervention, home-based care and treatment, psychiatric centers, rehabilitation programs, pediatric health care, and juvenile justice programs.
Students who complete the minor are expected to be able to:
Program Advisor Lisa Caya (Psychology)335 Graff Main Hall, 608.785.6895e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Students in CYC495 design and implement advocacy projects focused on children's well-being. Examples from past cohorts include:
The International Child and Youth Care Network (CYC-NET)
The Association for Child & Youth Care Practice, Inc. (ACYCP)
UW-L's undergraduate Gerontology emphasis - program requirements and course descriptions (the material at this link is outdated).
PLEASE use the following checksheet
All of the courses in the emphasis may count toward the emphasis and to other major/minor or college requirements. An emphasis in gerontology would be an excellent choice for many students including but not limited to business majors, exercise & sports science majors, health education & promotion majors, sociology majors, and psychology majors.
NOTE: The Gerontology emphasis is composed of courses from across the university. The sole course GTL300 has been deleted as of Fall 2013; however, the emphasis has lots of options and new courses are under development.
Program statement: The emphasis in gerontology is a multi-disciplinary program designed to assist students planning to enter career-related areas directly involving older persons. The study of gerontology will also help students prepare for their own aging as well as to develop a better understanding of and to seek enrichment for the lives of aging parents and our aging populations.
Coordinators of the program: Ellen Rozek, PhD and Erica Srinivasan, PhD - Psychology
Aging is a fact of life, but many societies have become older because of lower birth rates and delayed mortality leading to longer life expectancy. According to the United Nations, two billion people will be over the age of 60 by 2050, and of those 400 million will be over the age of 80. The U.S. also is experiencing an aging population (see chart).
Admission requirements
(All colleges)
39 credits - Select courses as listed in the following ten categories. Credits not used from categories II, III, V, VI and VII may be used in categories IX and X as electives. MTH 145 Elementary Statistics is also required.
The department strongly recommends that all psychology students take PSY 331 late in their sophomore year or early in their junior year. Once students have declared psychology as a major, they should plan on at least four semesters to complete the sequence of courses necessary for graduation with a psychology major. This does not include the time it takes to complete general education credits or credits necessary for a minor. We also recommend that students seriously consider taking PSY 200 early in their psychology careers and that students consider volunteer work and/or fieldwork as an important part of their psychological training. The psychology major provides solid training in the liberal arts and in research methods.
Students must complete the psychology milestones and declare the psychology major in order to enroll in key major courses that are prerequisites to other courses.
Students interested in human service related work or graduate school on clinical/counseling fields should take both PSY 204 and PSY 303 as their courses in this category.
The department strongly encourages students to take more than one credit in this category, particularly in PSY 450. This course requires arrangements with the Career Services office and the psychology internship coordinator that must be initiated prior to the start of the semester.
May also count toward general education electives.
Course is changing from PSY 335 to PSY 432 starting Fall 2014. The new course description is as follows:
PSY 432 Cr.3 Learning and Memory
A study of the fundamental concepts and principles of human and animal learning and contemporary topics in human memory. Specific topics include classical and operant (instrumental) conditioning, concept and skill learning, memory storage, and retrieval, forgetting, and the use of information. Prerequisites: PSY 100; PSY 321 or PSY 331.
All students must complete the general education, college core, major/minor, and university degree requirements in order to qualify for a degree. The easiest way to track all of these requirements is to refer to the Advisement Report (AR) found in the Student Information System (WINGS) Student Center. All enrolled students have access to the AR.
The following conditions apply to one or both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees:
Courses used to fulfill general education requirements will not apply to core requirements except for language courses (CHI, FRE, GER, RUS, SPA, MLG) that count in the general education requirement: "Mathematical/logical systems and modern languages" (GE 02, category 2).
Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degrees must accomplish the following:
Grade point average requirements for some programs will be considerably higher than 2.00. Re-entering students may be required to earn credits in excess of the 120 needed for graduation in any curriculum in order to replace credits earned in courses in which the content has changed substantially in recent years. Each case will be judged on its own merit.
No degree will be awarded unless all requirements are fulfilled and recorded within 30 days after the official ending date of each term.

[Editor's Note: Great analysis on what the Union's salary cap breakdown is.]
Prior to the start of every Major League Soccer season, the MLS Competition Committee meets to determine how much allocation money each team deserves. Allocation money is used to help ease salary cap burdens by allowing teams to "buy down" the salary of anyone making more than the league maximum $335,000, to re-sign current players, or to spend on players signing with the league for the first time. As the league insists on keeping the amount of funds available to its teams completely secret, I like to picture allocation money as a series of briefcases filled with U.S. currency, distinguishable only by monocles and curly mustaches drawn on each of our forefathers' faces (the original Stache Bash?).
There are many who believe the salary cap exists only in principal, and that certainly seems to have merit when you look at the payroll for the New York Red Bulls and Los Angeles Galaxy over the last few years - but are the Philadelphia Union playing by the rules? Are they using allocation money gained through trades, missing the playoffs, and obscure roster rules to squeak by with a wink to the league office? Hit the jump for a close look at the roster...
Roster spots 1-20 are for Salary Budget Players that count against the $2,675,000 cap, but spots 19 and 20 can be left empty without any penalty. Players over 24 years old and Discovery Player signings must be placed on the senior roster. Danny Califf, Carlos Valdes, Roger Torres, Faryd Mondragon, Brian Carroll, Justin Mapp, Stefani Miglioranzi, Sebastien Le Toux, Jordan Harvey, Juan Diego Gonzalez, Thorne Holder, and Carlos Ruiz fit in this category. 12 out of 20 Salary Budget Player spots accounted for, $1,938,479 earned in base salary, $2,216,108.17 in guaranteed compensation.
Spots 21-30 are for Off Budget Players and the team gets $35,000 in allocation money per spot if 29 and 30 are left open. These are reserved for players 24 years old or younger. Danny Mwanga, Amobi Okugo, Jack McInerney, and Zac MacMath don't count against the cap because of their Generation Adidas status. Zach Pfeffer doesn't count against the cap as a Home Grown player. Ryan Richter and Levi Houapeu have salaries that can only put them somewhere in spots 25-30 (minimum salary is $32,600 and they are set to make $32,604). 7 out of 10 Off Budget Player spots accounted for and these players will make $476,458 in base salary, $784,874.67 in guaranteed compensation.
Sheanon Williams, Gabriel Farfan, Michael Farfan, Chris Agorsor, Kyle Nakazawa, and Keon Daniel are all under 25 years old and each have salaries that match or come close to the minimum salary for a player in spots 1-25, though they could really be anywhere on the roster. With the threat of a "minimum salary budget charge," it would make sense for the Union to count these guys against the cap (leaving three empty Off Budget slots) unless the charge is so small that it doesn't make much of a difference. One or more of these players could be moved into an Off Budget spot, however, if they Union signs new players to the senior roster before the freeze on September 15th. With so many players fitting the guidelines for Off Budget Player spots, they could probably get away with moving one of the guys scheduled to make a little more than the others, though I'm not sure that's exactly how it works. These players will make $254,000 in base salary, $295,910 in guaranteed compensation.
If all players in that third group are included in the Salary Budget Players category, the team would still be under the cap with a base salary of $2,192,479 and $2,512,018.17 in guaranteed compensation. Depending on whether it's base salary or guaranteed compensation that actually counts towards the cap, the Union are somewhere between $160,000 and $480,000 under the cap without the use of allocation money or the Designated Player rule.
Think this explains why we didn't take on Benny Feilhaber's gigantic salary? Hoping to see a few guys cleared out to make room for a big summer signing? Leave your thoughts below!

No sooner did Venezuela's government spring a devaluation last week than critics seized on the move as an IMF-style "neoliberal" reform package, of the kind Hugo Chávez had warned the "fascist" opposition would have implemented had they won presidential elections last year.
Well, the socialist government devalued the currency anyway, as everyone knew they would, but it insists that Venezuela's absurdly generous (some might say wasteful) petrol subsidies will not be cut – not even for citizens of the US "empire". Continue reading »

This week is a big one for me and my company Eva Blake's Makery. I've had a lot if thoughts about how to make it grow more in 2014. Gaining more exposure was one of those ideas. Being asked for a filmed interview for WMUR and NH Chronicle wasn't on the list. Who ever expects to get that kind of an email??
So this week I'll get my studio in shape for the big deal and get our fancy space all decorated and ready to roll. At least I'm past the dumbfounded giggle stage and I'm in the "Let's do This!" Stage.
So keep me in your thoughts please as it all comes together. Wow.

Yes it was. Although it was more of a tease than it was a tour. We went into most of the buildings and then left rather quickly. Quite a shame, actually, because I feel like I see Chernobyl & Pripyat in a different than most people do.. I'm hoping for a 3+ day tour sometime in the future when I have the money.
@Zach: No, I did not. Which thread are you referring to? Actually since I'm 17 we thought we would have to give the patrol men a "consideration" at the 30Km exclusion zone. Fortunately, he didn't give a shit so we kept the money.
Overall, it was about $220 (fees and other things added in).

Thanks for wanting to see them! Yes, it was a bit eerie. The whole trip was, to be honest. Pripyat is one of the last if not the very last place in the world where a genuine Soviet city is virtually frozen in time.
Thanks for all the positive vibes everyone!
I'm glad you all (or at least most of you) enjoyed the pictures.

What happened to the chat?
Thank you for the information!
Hello everyone, I haven't posted in the Kongregate forum in probably a couple of years or so and haven't been active on the site since around 2010/2011. I felt the need to come back on for a few minutes yesterday to look around and see what has changed. I noticed some drastic changes here and there but the one that caught my eye the fastest was the insane lack of people in each room and the name changes of the chat rooms as well. I could remember quite clearly the days where each chatroom had around 150 in each (and keep in mind that was the average)? All I saw yesterday was 50's, 40's, 30's, and even as low as the 20's..
So my two questions to you guys is,
a) What happened to the chatroom population numbers? Why so low? And when did this decrease in number begin to occur?
b) What's the point of changing the names of the older chatrooms? I feel it adds confusion to the older members and I don't see much of a point to it (this question is in no way directed as a hostile one, I'm really just curious).
Thank you for your time Kongregators. It was good to visit this place again and feel the nostalgia. Cheers everyone.

and battlefield3 for the pc.
for strategy i would advice Disgaea 3 or 4 but you need to love anime since both games are full of it.

CoD 2 isn't available on the PS3.
In terms of exclusives?
For platformers, I'd start out with the Jak & Daxter Collection, probably one of the best, if not the platformers of all-time. Then you could go for the Sly Cooper Franchise (HD Collection & Thieves in Time). LittleBigPlanet is good too. I'm not a big fan of Ratchet & Clank, but alot of people recommend it.
If you enjoy emotional & artsy games, I'd recommend the downloable titles Flower, The Unfinished Swan & Journey. They are all amazing (Journey won numerous GOTY awards!). I'd also recommend the outstanding title Heavy Rain.
If you enjoy hack 'n' slash games, I'd go for God of War (HD Collection, Origins Collection, GoW III, GoW: Ascension).
If you're a racing fan I've heard that Gran Turismo is a dream. As well as LittleBigPlanet Karting. Modnation Racers was a decent racer, but the loading times per track are a bit ridiculous. Twisted Metal isn't much of a racing game as it is a demolition derby, but still fun nonetheless.
If you like action games, I'd HIGHLY recommend the Uncharted Series (1, 2 ,3). Infamous (1,2, Festival of Blood) is a good open-world action franchise as well.
Shooter guy? Go for the Killzone series as well as the Resistance series. Metal Gear Solid franchise if you enjoy a view from 3rd-person. Maybe MAG if you want a MMOTPS.
Some other great exclusives that I didn't write above include: PixelJunk series, MotorStorm series & Demon's Souls.
Keep in mind this is just the exclusives I'm talking about. There are tons of other great games found on other systems, but PS3 has the best and biggest variety of exclusives, hands down.

This is what it comes to during a bye week.
I have long thought that the Vikings should use this as their theme song (not to displace the Skol Vikings fight song, as this is most definitely not a fight song and Skol is awesome); sort of like how the Red Sox use Sweet Caroline as their de facto theme song. (By the way, lyrics ARE safe for work.)
This song is by the great band of Gogol Bordello (the lead singer is from Ukraine, and hence some of the lyrics are not in English, plus he is also nutty), and it fits perfectly for the Vikings, as you can tell by the title. The song would be a festive, quasi-drinking song to warm our spirits during the game.
I hope someone from the Vikings organization reads this and implements my idea. A great way to get the crowd going rather than the cliche music they normally play at games (let it be noted that I have not attended a game in a year or two, but I imagine it has not changed much, if any).

Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank today announced the decision to make reparations totaling $543,500 to 14 victims of fisheries law enforcement excesses and forgive another $151,266.66 for two other complainants whose cases were studied by a special judicial master.
The reparations and forgiveness of debt were decided based on series of 66 case studies by the master, Charles B. Swartwood III, whose report totalling more than 500 pages was submitted to Blank more than eight months ago.
The announcement of the decisions to resolve the complaints against law enforcement actions taken by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration agents was made about noon, and was not immediately accompanied by the report itself. The announcement did not identify the cases, making it impossible to know any details.
"Today marks the end of an extensive investigation into the conduct of NOAA's enforcement program going back nearly two decades," said Blank. "In the course of acknowledging and rectifying mistakes, NOAA has instituted sweeping changes to its enforcement program to ensure that fisheries enforcement is fair and effective. It's time to close the door on this chapter of NOAA's past and move forward."
The announcement, however, said, Blank released the report. The Department of Commerce communications office did not respond to calls.
Case studies were being sent to attorneys for complaints beginning about 11 a.m.
Blank's release said Swartwood was initially commissioned to conduct case studies based on a national investigation into law enforcement excesses concentrated in the office of agents and litigators in Gloucester where NOAA has its Northeast offices.
Swartwood initial report, released in May 2011, concluded that 11 fishing businesses were severely wronged by the misconduct of the law enforcers, and then Commerce Secretary Gary Locke granted more than $650,000 in reparations. Locke also issued an apology, issued on his behalf in Gloucester by NOAA Administrator Jane Lubehenco.

Chaweng Beach Nightlife - Chaweng is Koh Samui's Party Central.
All along the Beach Road you will see sois (streets) leading off into warrens of bars and pubs of varying appeal and popularity. The epicentre of all this hedonism and fun is undoubtedly Soi Green Mango in Central Chaweng, with Soi Reggae, by the lake, coming in a close second.
Before we get too hyperbolic about Chaweng's nightlife it's best to remember that bars close at 02:00 by order of the police so the party curve zooms upward past midnight and peaks a little earlier than some would prefer. And yes, some bars stay open later – those whose owners have friends in high places.
Here are some Chaweng night areas to check out.
Green Mango Square
Making a sweeping U-shape off Central Chaweng's Beach Road, Soi Green Mango is lined with open-sided full-on party bars, each with ear-spitting sound systems vying for aural dominance – and with predictably muddled results. On the northern side of the U there's more of a girlie, pick-up and Go-Go bar atmosphere whereas bars like Green Mango itself and Sweet Soul Café as well as Solo Bar are more for revelers.
Further down the soi, on alleys branching off, are even more pubs and bars so if you're looking for a pub/bar crawl that doesn't involve transport this is perfect territory.
Sweet Soul Cafe
Sweet Soul Cafe is an institution on Samui and is located in the epicentre of Soi Green Mango. It's popular with both locals and tourists alike and is probably the liveliest place in town. A full range of cocktails, shooters and beers are available and the staff members are all very friendly. Music tends to be mostly a mixture of top 40 dance, R n' B, and hip hop tunes played at maximum volume. It's a great place to go if you want a rowdy night out on the town, but not somewhere to go if you want to chill. Check out the Jagermiester machine at the back of the bar that dispenses ice cold shots to liven you up.
Green Mango Club
The Green Mango Club is hard to miss; it's in a huge warehouse building at the end of the road. It has two main areas with the entrance space playing hip hop and mainstream tunes, whilst the main pumps out some banging house and techno music.
Business's For Sale. Are you Looking to live in PARADISE... Click here
Sound is a great outdoor venue, the front bar plays hip-hop and R n'B to a packed house, while the dance floor at the back has DJ's spinning harder house, and there's a big swimming pool separating the two dance floors, which sets the scene for some late-night water fights. This is a really popular venue for the late-night crowd, and doesn't really get going until after 01:00 when it becomes crammed with high-energy revelers.
Christy's Cabaret
Samui's premier ladyboy entertainment venue offers lots of fun in the form of an exceedingly camp Vegas-style revue every night. If you have a taste for show tunes, big hair, sequins and elaborate dance routines to go with pretty accurate miming, then Christy's is the place for you. The venue is fully air-conditioned and entrance is free - there are several other similar shows around town, but Christy's is probably the friendliest of the lot.

GB Lounge/Dream Girls
Since the social order crackdown began, the more risqué aspects of the shows at Samui's two pre-eminent go-go bars, a short stroll apart on Soi Green Mango have been toned down considerably. Still, these Go-Go bars are worth a visit if only as an eye-opener. Of the two, the split-level Dream Girls is considered the classier version, due to its revolving stage and glass ceiling.
Soi Reggae
Out on the street leading to the Reggae Pub from Chaweng Centre you'll find bar after small bar lining the passage with the usual cast of friendly girls, not very original music, a pool table here and there and a general air of seediness.
Things get pretty desperate here the later it gets and the girls get more 'aggressive' in their tactics. You have been warned… Still, it can be a lot of fun if it's all approached with a sense of humour and fun.
Reggae Pub
The Reggae Pub is a large, barn-like institution by Chaweng Lake and has been catering for party people en masse for years now. Here, a large dance floor is surrounded by benches and tables while international DJ's and live bands handle the entertainment through enormous sound systems.
Business's For Sale. Are you Looking to live in PARADISE... Click here
Petch Bucha Thai Boxing Stadium
This large stadium near the Reggae Pub is the centre of Muay Thai boxing in Samui. Starting at 21:00 and going on until midnight, fights here are the real thing, unlike some semi-staged efforts at several tourist centres. Seat prices vary but in reality it's much the same experience buying a bleacher pew as in the 'VIP' section, perhaps better. It's a noisy, thrilling and sometimes shocking evening of thrills and spills. Bar available.
Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge is an up-market Go-Go Bar on Soi Reggae, behind Chaweng Beach Road, by the lake. There you can indulge in a drink or two and watch the dancing babes into the early hours.
Charlie's Angels
New, classy venue in the middle of the beer bar area of Soi Sound, for those requiring a little more discretion. The club has a lively atmosphere, attentive waiting staff, and plenty of bouncing belles.
Chaweng Beach Road
All along the Beach Road in between the restaurants and shops, pubs, clubs and bars offer nightly fun. The range is tremendous and there is something for everyone, even families with children.

Ark Bar
Another Samui institution, the Ark Bar has been at it for quite a few years. Even though it's changed hands several times the bar/restaurant still uses the same methods to draw people in with fire dancers, ambient music, dining and dancing on the beach and a relaxed atmosphere that extends to a child-friendly vibe, even late at night.
One of the most spectacular dining options in the south of Thailand, the Brazilian-themed Zico's is an on-fire mixture of entertainment, glam cocktails and skewer after skewer of freshly prepared meat served from sword-like serving knives by strolling waiters. To the side lies a salad bar to balance the all-you-can-eat fixed price meats. Entertainment takes place on a central stage and consists of bottom-wiggling sexy samba dancing girls in outfits that leave little to the imagination, live percussion and sax players.
Tropical Murphy's
If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky evening with lots of beer choices, good food, great music, pool, quizzes and an Irish ambience look no further than Tropical Murphy's. Owner Paul Watson takes no prisoners in his quest to be the top pub in town and he ensures that everything runs smoothly. Murphy's Thai staff members speak good English and the extensive choice of seating means that you can take in the live music upstairs in the air-con, watch sports downstairs or enjoy the night air and the street sights on the outside terrace.
Bar Solo
Bar Solo has a cool, sleek interior and a great music policy as well as a pool table and six plasma screens showing major sporting events. Solo Bar is a good option to start a night out, when you can take advantage of their 1/2price cocktails from 14:00 – 20:00. Later in the evening, the bar gets lively with DJ's spinning funky, uplifting house and chilled lounge tunes.
Bar @ C
Part of the Amari Palm Reef Resort, Bar @ C has obviously had no expense spared in its creation and has a fashionable appeal more readily associated with Bangkok bars than other hotel bars on Samui. There's a variety of seating areas including large day beds and giant sofas. In the evening discreet spot lighting is to the fore and a long wall shelf light slowly pulsates different hues, to add to the lounge-style ambience. As the name suggests, the bar is also only a few metres from the sea.
Red Snapper
With a big screen and a nightly live band you'd think that Red Snapper wouldn't exactly be totally be focused in on its food but you'd be wrong. Part of Chaweng Regent Beach Resort, Red Snapper fronts onto the Beach Road and is great for that laid-back meal, while watching the passing throngs. Modern fusion and healthy dishes prevail with more of a leaning towards cocktails than wine on the drinks list, the décor is pleasant and this is definitely a happening place to be.

Nearby Chaweng
Three examples stand out when it comes to non-central nightspots: The Bar Ice, on the northern road leading out to Bohput and high on the hill above the Bar Ice, Q Bar entices people to admire the views over Chaweng and enjoy its unique vibe. Springers, on the southernmost part of Chaweng's Beach Road leading out to Lamai, is another nearby hotspot.
Q Bar
Overlooking Chaweng from its northern end, Q Bar stands regal on a hillside. Along the same lines of its Bangkok counterpart (though less snobby), you simply can't miss the huge neon 'Q' up the road from Bar Ice and this place is bopping later on in the evening and in the early hours. International DJ's spin into the night and punters can choose between the music-filled interior or the ultra-cool exterior with those groovy views. Q Bar also holds special parties and fashion events. This is truly a place to see and be seen in. Be careful heading back down the hill, though.
Springer Pub
Unusual, eclectic or just plain wacky? Springer Pub is based in a garage outlet and has auto parts strewn around in places where there shouldn't be places. With a funky interior sporting seats made out of car parts, a bonnet and headlamps emerging from the wall above the stage, live music past 22:30 and a loosely fitting biker's atmosphere Springer Pub is a welcome relief from the highly charged and sometimes mercenary atmosphere of Central Chaweng.
Chaweng Beach is the major beach on Ko Samui and one that has developed tremendously since the early 1990s. Just 20 years ago the beach was home to just a sprinkle of wooden bungalows but now the place is swamped with 4-5 star hotels, Italian pizza joints, Irish pubs and even go-go bars. Samui's nightlife is becoming legendary but unfortunately not always attracting the best standard of tourist. Chaweng's once 'hippy' only backpackers have given way to a lot of 'lager louts'. Chaweng is the place to be if you are looking for a rowdy reckless party scene.
Lamai Beach Like Chaweng, Lamai has transformed from a 'hippy' hangout into a fun, party place packed out with bars and exciting nightlife. The beach though, is still in better condition than Chaweng and the place doesn't get quite so crowded. If it's a quiet relaxing location you are after, then Lamai won't be the ideal place for you. At the southern end of Lamai, there are some odd-looking rock formations.

Maenam Beach This quite beach, located in the north of the island is decent enough for swimming and sunbathing especially for families with children due to the shallow water.
Bophut Beach situated in the north of the island, is a popular starting point for diving tours. The place isn't in any way as developed as Chaweng but there are still plenty of restaurants, shops and bars.
Choengmon Beach is in the North-East of Samui just 10 minutes from Chaweng. Unlike the latter it is a perfect place for relaxing.
Big Buddha Beach Located in the north-east of Samui, Big Buddha offers visitors good swimming and lovely views. The area has developed a lot over the past few years and there are now a plentitude of restaurants, shops and bars.
Na Thon - The island's major seafront settlement where shops, restaurants and tour agencies are concentrated.
Namtok Hin Lat – This waterfall is easily accessible by car. Some of the numerous tiny levels have a large basin for swimmers.
Namtok Na Mueang – A local road leads to the Na Mueang 1 Waterfall. A walk of about 30 minutes ends up at the more scenic Na Mueang 2 Waterfall. Purple rocks surround the stream of water, which gushes in from an impressive height of around 79 meters.
Ban Lipa Yai – This village grows high quality fruits, including rambutan, durian, mangosteen and the famed langsat.
Old House – This Chinese-style house, aged almost 200 years, represents Samui's cultural identity. Grandpa Si and Grandma Maen Hancharoen, the present owner, open the house to visitors.
Other island attractions include coral beds at Laem Set and Thong Takhian; the nearby butterfly garden and aquarium; a snake farm; a monkey theatre at Bo Phut and a massive seated Buddha image on Fan isle.

Wat Khunaram Ko Samui This temple is the island's most famous temple for its mummified monk on display. The mummy sits upright in a glass casket and devotees offer it flowers and incense. The mummy is in fact the body of a very revered former abbot of the temple who was also a meditation master that was able to predict his own death.
Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks These odd-looking rocks situated on Lamai beach bear a striking resemblance to male and female sexual organs and they have turned into one of the island's biggest attractions. For those who would like to hear a legend or two surrounding the rocks, they need only ask a local.
Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo Ko Samui Located at Ban Harn beach, the Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo offer a fun day out for the family. The undersea world of the aquarium has an amazing collection of tropical fish and other vibrant aquatic animals such as turtles and colorful coral. The tiger zoo is home to Bengal tigers and leopards. For those who are daring enough, they can have their photograph taken with the awesome animals. The Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo are open daily from 9AM till 6PM.
Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) Also known as the Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), has a 15 meter tall statue of the Buddha. It was built in 1972 and is in the north of the island.
Laem Sor Pagoda Ko Samui This chedi (pagoda) situated at Laem Sor temple is one of the most important shrines on Ko Samui. The structure with its yellow tiles which gives off a golden aura is quite impressive.
Samui Butterful Garden / Insect Museum This butterfly garden can be found in the south-east of the island. There is a huge collection of different butterflies, some quarter of a meter wide. The visitor can also enter the insect museum nearby to see a variety of rare bugs and a bee house.
Secret Buddha Garden This beautiful garden was made by a 76 year-old Ko Samui fruit farmer in 1976. It is surrounded by lush jungle, rocky hills and is adorned with sculptures depicting both humans, in various poses, as well as various deities. Since the garden is the highest point on the island, there are also some awesome views to be had. Organized tours to the garden last for about 2 hours.

Hello! What's everyone doing for the extended weekend? We have more family affairs to attend to this weekend. Many family members are in town from out of state and spending A LOT of time w/ us so Zoey's sleeping schedule is once again disrupted. Poor child!
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to our nephew's baptism, a homemade clambake, and a trip to an apple orchard. Don't they all sound exciting and so much fun?!
Since I don't have any relevant pictures (yet) about the above mentioned activities, I'll leave you w/ some still life shots. Nothing too crazy, just some white vases on top of our newly acquired drawer. Complete with some fresh flowers, of course.
Our dahlias are peaking right now. In another week or so, it's going to be the mums that will be taking over our garden. A signal that autumn is just around the corner. Ah- I LOVE fall…the foliage, crisp air, and just the overall romantic feel!
I'm loving the minimalistic look of the simple things such as this empty white vase on top of a distressed drawer. Nice contrast.
Enjoy your labor day weekend!
'Til next post, Kellie.

Davidson County-- Searchers trying to find an 8-pound monkey that escaped more than a week ago from the Wake Forest University Primate Center are now playing sounds of a baby monkey to try to recapture the wayward animal.
Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center spokesman Chad Campbell told the Winston-Salem Journal that someone reported seeing the monkey in southwestern Forsyth County on Friday, but crews didn't see the animal when they arrived.
Campbell says searchers have set up humane traps are playing baby monkey calls to lure the animal. Officials hope the monkey will respond to the calls because she is a breeding animal used in research.
The 16-year-old macaque monkey is originally from Indonesia and has been in captivity since 2008. She escaped the center on June 29.

text: I know right now probably isnt the best time to write, (and sorry for the language that i will use) but im done with this team and program. Yes i still will watch them and yes I will root for them. But im done saying how good we are and how we do in the regular season or how we do in our shitty fucking conference. Im just sick of it, Im tired of being just a mediocre team, and it seems like we still have that were just happy to be here mentality. That was fine in the first 6 or 7 of these 15 years we've been relevant. but not anymore, I know sometimes we didnt get the best draw or we played the eventual national champ. but whatever no more excuses, no the refs screwed us, no gary bell didnt play the second half, none of it. This year was set up for us and so was our bracket and of course we underachieve, i have always said this team will never win a national championship and probably never make a final four,and I wanted to eat crow so bad this year and I even started to believe. But no, In typical gonzaga fashion we lose to a more athletic team and also get beat by the 3 ball again for the 50th fucking time. How can they make 2 threes against pitt and 14 on us, oh yeah its the zags everybody does when the game matters. When we got ranked #1 near the end of the year, people would diss on it saying it was a joke or a fluke, and I would pound my fist saying we deserve it. Same thing with the 1 seed in the tourney, alot of people in the media said we didnt deserve it or that we were the worst one seed ever, and it pissed me off. And in the end they were all right we were the worst one seed in the history of it (considering the southern game to). the ranking and the seed All that doesnt mean shit now. You know every year I go into the season with optimism, Never again, Ill go into the season from now on saying who gives a shit were just going to lose in the first or second fucking round anyways, I hate doing that but its true Honestly with the way we played in the tourney this whole season now is a joke and a waste. But dont worry Mark few will talk about the postives and put his mediocre spin on it saying all the good things we accomplished. Bullshit. So for some people who read this and disagree with what I wrote down, have fun next year and the years to come beating the shit out a weak conference and getting overhyped, and in the end getting your heart broken over and over again with underachieving teams and coaching. Screw making the final four, we may never make the elite 8 again. (What a joke)

Talking With Anderson Cooper
Ask Anderson Cooper what's one of the guests he's most looking forward to having on his new daytime talk show "Anderson" – premiering today, Monday, Sept. 12 – and he'll tell you he's keeping it very close to home.
"We're doing an hour on my mom, who's 87," Anderson shares with Third Age. Anderson's mom is none other than Gloria Vanderbilt, the artist, socialite and fashion designer. "She's probably not as well known by younger women today, but among women of a certain age she's very well known," Anderson continues. "I think there's a lot of wisdom she has and a lot of life experience that is going to be of interest, frankly, to any generation of women and men as well."
That wisdom includes his mom's unwavering belief in finding a soulmate, no matter what your age. "She still thinks that her next great love is right around the corner. It fuels her," declarea Anderson, 44. He believes that even though her life has been filled with great challenges, the tragic moments haven't hardened her.
"Her father died when she was an infant, and the case of her custody battle where she was taken away from her own mother at the time was called the trial of the century," Anderson explains. His mother also witnessed Anderson's older brother, Carter Cooper, commit suicide by jumping off a balcony at the age of 25. "What's compelling about her and what people will see is that term "survivor" -- what I see is that kind of boozy "Cabaret" singer by a piano who is tough as nails talking about how's she's a survivor and about how she's still here. My mom has none of that; she's not tough at all," Anderson says. "But she does have this inner-core determination and drive to move forward."

Lynda, a 48-year-old mother of three who lives in upstate New York, got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia in 2000. While there are prescription medications for fibromyalgia, she's found one unconventional drug -- marijuana -- that really does the trick.
Athena Champneys, 37, has been in near-constant pain since 2003, when she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness. Her husband hasn't always been 100 percent sympathetic, however.
Ashley Price felt terrible. She was tired, dizzy spells came and went, dark splotches popped up on her chest for no reason, and she'd gained 50 pounds in two years. Some days she was starving; other days she could barely eat. Her doc suggested that her problems would go away if Price just ate less and exercised more, even though she was dieting and working out regularly. Price demanded thyroid tests, only to have them come back normal.
Up to 15 percent of the U.S. population have chronic pain, and as many as five percent have pain so persistent that they need heavy-hitting painkillers, known as opioids, just to get through the day.
What is fibromyalgia? What causes fibromyalgia? Can it effectively be treated without prescription drugs? What is the difference between gabapentin and Cymbalta?
There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but symptoms can be managed, CNN's Judy Fortin reports in Health Minute.
You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but at any given moment Dana Poole hurts all over.

time dynamics of insulation
So we've been having well-nigh to "design days" mixed with
unseasonably warm bursts in the Boston area lately, and a few
days ago I noticed an odd phenomenon. The heat pump is "correctly
sized" here, e.g. will run most of the time over those nights
below 5F, so its runtime percentage reflects the short-term heat
loss of the house fairly well. On a day when it was cold overnight
and then shot up to 35 or more during the next day, the pump
basically never ran for the entire afternoon which seemed odd
because there was still a substantial delta-T from inside to
outside and some quantity of loss must still be occurring.
Then it got cooler into the evening and things started getting
back to normal. The day was cloudy, so solar influence could
be mostly eliminated as a factor.
This got me thinking about the gradient through the 4 inches
of polyiso on the walls and what it might look like at any
specific time during these events. I doodled up a representative
graphic, assuming a uniform wall of nothing but polyiso foam:
[Click the pic or label for a detailed version -- it doesn't
look like <img> tags work on this site anyways. Fix pls??]
In state (1) we have the steady-state wikkid-cold, in which a
fairly uniform gradient should be present through the wall.
Then the daytime temp goes up fairly rapidly with the interior
unchanged, which should begin heating the exterior of the wall
but it would take a while for that new temperature to penetrate
inward through the outer part of the polyiso and possibly look
something like frame (2). Now, the polyiso doesn't have a lot
of heat *capacity* like brick or stone, so the quantities of heat
flow per time should track the gradient fairly closely. The
question then is, exactly what is going on in frame (2)? Since
the gradient from the freshly-warmed outside implies *inward*
heat flow, then there cannot be any net heat loss from the
building while this condition exists.
Now, how long would that condition last? With the outdoor temp
sustained at the warmer level the gradient would have to start
equalizing itself as in frame (3), and the secondary question is
how long would that take through a known thickness of polyiso
foam. In this case it seemed to take several hours, the time
over which the heat pump didn't run at all. In frame (4) we're
into evening as the temps drop and the gradient that was trying
to equalize to the warmer outdoor temp gets even more complex
as the changes might reflect as a very damped response depending
on how far along the gradient we look, almost like if we shook
one end of a flexible rope sitting in a viscous medium.
Does this make sense? I guess what I'm asking is what the
effective time constant of polyiso foam is, given that it must
have almost no heat capacity [e.g. specific heat * mass] of
its own. Are there whitepapers on this somewhere?

Edited Tue, 01/28/2014 - 11:36
The thermal mass of polyiso is miniscule- the effects you are most likely seeing is the combination of solar gain (even through clouds) and the increased plug loads and human-heat emittance during waking hours. On a sunny day in Boston even moderate-R houses (R20-ish whole wall) are running a BTU surplus.
The thermal mass effect is (somewhat) measurable in higher-R cellulose walls, due to the much higher thermal mass of cellulose. The specific heat of paper is 0.33 Btu/lb-degree-F, and in a foot thick (R40-ish) dense packed wall you're looking at about 3.5lb per square foot of wall, or about 10 BTU per degree-foot. That's not exactly a mass-wall, but it's not nothing. The specific heat of polyiso is comparable, at about 0.30 Btu/lb-degree-F but foil-faced iso is 1.5lbs/cubic foot nominal, and at your R25-ish 4" you're looking at 1/3 of a cubic foot, or 0.5lbs per square foot. That's 1.5 BTU per square foot per degree.
Apples-to-apples, at the same ASTM C 518 rated R, you're looking at about 6 BTU/degree-foot for R25 cellulose, or 4x that of R25 polyiso.
You can model this as distributed capacitance distributed resistance lossy transmission line or a chain of R/C filters to get the prop-delay on temperature step functions, but the mass effect of the insulation layer of even the fat cellulose wall is small compared to what's going on with the solar gain and thermal mass of all the stuff inside the house.
Note, with polyiso the outer inch or two of foam is running about R2-R3/inch when the outdoor temps are below +5F, but rises to the R5/inch range when it's +35F outside, an artifact of it's very non-linear derating curve that falls off a cliff at middle-foam-depth temps below 25F, so it's underperforming by quite bit at the temperature extremes, but performing pretty well when it's above freezing out. That is going to be a much more dramatic effect than any mass-modeling of the iso. Peak-performance of iso occurs when the middle-foam-depth temp is ~50F. In a Boston climate with a 4" foam stackup you'll get somewhat better winter-average performance out of 1.5" of EPS on the exterior with 2.5" of polyiso between the EPS and structural sheathing, since EPS performance approaches R5/inch at 0F middle-of-EPS layer temps (R4.5/inch @ 40F middle-depth temps.)

Heh, so my *steady-state* gradient at 5F or less outdoors probably
looks more like frame (4), huh?
Thanks for applying the perspective. I remember the "R5-beats-R6"
thread but I must have read it quite a while ago and I see now
that much of its comment thread is more recent. It possibly
helps explain a couple of other things on the house here too.
That and I'm starting to believe I'm seeing fairly profound
effects from night-sky radiation off the silver-painted metal
roof and to some extent from the vinyl siding, lowering the
effective outdoor temp at the polyiso face. Maybe it's time to
get some actual temp sensors embedded into parts of this rig...
and be even more glad we never did *any* cavity-fill in the
original walls. Perhaps if the outer 2" layer had been done
in XPS instead??
Anyway, I didn't think there would be much time dependency
here but I thought the cold-warm-cold day pattern might have
had the heat running a *little* more than it did over the
peak. And it was fun to doodle up the gradient graphic..

The more things change, the more things stay the same, at least when it comes to the Indiana Pacers and their success against the Atlanta Hawks. While everyone is fixated on Atlanta's 38-44 regular season record, the history of these two teams makes the regular season records irrelevant, and the Hawks proved it tonight by straight up knocking the Pacers flat in the second half.
That doesn't make it all right, however. The Pacers fought all season for the first seed in the Eastern Conference, and it's a home court advantage that lasted all of one game as them. Indiana looked good in the opening minutes, jumping ahead 7-2, but a 16-2 response by Atlanta cued what would set up to be a long night for the Pacers, who failed to buck the trend of home teams losing on the first day of the NBA Playoffs.
Indiana fell behind by nine in the first quarter thanks to that run, a C.J. Watson three pointer at the buzzer salvaging an otherwise disastrous quarter. Things trended in the right direction for Indiana in the second quarter as Lance Stephenson brought Indiana back to tie the game at 30-30, as Paul George lifted the Pacers late in the quarter as they appeared to put themselves in the driver's seat with a 49-42 advantage.
But Kyle Korver and the Hawks pushed back with a 7-1 run to close the half as the game went into the locker room tied up 50-50. The run for the Hawks bled into the second half with an 8-0 push putting them ahead 58-50 before the Pacers pulled to within two at 60-58. At that point, the Hawks used yet another lengthy run to break the Pacers back, jumping over them with a 14-0 run to make it a 74-58 score.
Before the Pacers could get an opportunity to right the ship, the Hawks moved the score to 18 at 80-62 as part of a 30-16 third quarter. Indiana could only trim the lead to 14 early in the fourth before Atlanta swelled the lead up to 20 as the Pacers settled into a 101-93 loss and falling in a 1-0 hole against the Hawks.
Losing home court in the first game isn't uncharted territory for this team, having previously slipped up in Game 1 against the Orlando Magic in 2012. The Pacers turned the series around, winning the next four games, but the Magic, who had seen the last days of Dwight Howard, played well above themselves in that victory. The problem with this series, it doesn't necessarily appear as if the Hawks aren't going to repeat what they did three more times.
The Hawks didn't use an unfamiliar formula in their dissection of Indiana's defense. A healthy dose of Jeff Teague attacking and a whole boat load of three pointers helped keep the Pacers on their heels, especially with the Hawks winning the 50/50 battle and doing an exceptional job drawing fouls. The Hawks had the Pacers scrambling on long rebounds, coming up with 14 second chance points on just nine offensive rebounds (10 of those in the first quarter).
As well, the Pacers had 29 fouls to Atlanta's 20, leading to a +8 for the Hawks at the line. The Hawks also shot 11-30 from the three point arc, and while three point shooting is hardly sustainable across a seven game series, the way the Hawks spread the Pacers defense makes it nearly impossible to assume the quality of looks Atlanta gets won't fall, especially if Korver can get off seven a night.
The real concern with this loss is that this was supposed to be the turning point for the team. Forget the struggles, forget the woes, it was all going away because the fight for the NBA Championship has begun. But there were stretches tonight that mirrored directly with Indiana's loss to Atlanta two weeks ago at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Nothing looked very positive and that's a bad sign when it comes to actually winning when it matters, like, right now.
The push from Lance Stephenson and Paul George in the second quarter was more or less the game's sole Pacers highlight in a reel full of Hawks drives, free throws, and three pointers. Stephenson was excellent when guiding Indiana back from their first quarter deficit early in the second, but he got a little too high on his own awesomeness when he began to key in on some bad plays.
George had a big second quarter with 11 of his team high 24 points, but 6-18 shooting minimized his effectiveness despite a great night getting to the line, winding up with 12 attempts, hitting nine. He was excellent in other aeras, pulling in 10 rebounds, five assists, and four steals, but there was very little to help him (and Stephenson) on the offensive end to keep pace with what Atlanta was able to do.
David West had eight points, but was limited early with foul trouble and was never really a big part of the game and his backup Luis Scola was awful, erasing all of his recent mojo with a 0-6 night. Evan Turner shot well to lead the bench with nine, but didn't make much of a stand on defense. C.J. Watson hit a big shot to end the first quarter, but effectively disappeared after that, picking up just 16 minutes and doing very little with them besides pick up four fouls.
George Hill showed some positives on the offensive end with 12 points, but struggled defensively in containing Teague, who had 28 points. The Pacers were able to handle Teague going off, but not those around him, especially Paul Millsap's 25 points. Roy Hibbert had an early bucket, but was ineffective as expected until late in the game, when he had six fourth quarter points. It'd be nice to believe those points would help Hibbert towards some kind of sustained success, but there's not been anything to suggest that will be the case.
For now, the best stance to take is that it was just one game in a seven game series, but it's certainly a troubling sign even when looking for an optimistic stance. The Pacers will now have to get things turned around enough to grab a win in Game 2 to simply keep the series from getting out of hand. From there, the Pacers have to find a win in Atlanta to get them back in something resembling control of the series, but that's a long way off when this loss will linger until Tuesday night, when the Pacers tip off at 7 ET on TNT.

A 92-year-old woman fell victim to the lottery scam and lost several hundred dollars over the course of several months, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office reports.
The scam was discovered when the victim went to the Wells Fargo Bank on Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres on Wednesday and attempted to withdraw $8,000.
She had deposited a check for $8,475 the day before.
She had also deposited a check on February 9th for $7,600, then withdrew the money on the following day.
Deputies learned the checks were written to the victim, but she did not know the person whose name was on the checks. She told deputies after she withdrew the money on February 10th, she wired the money back via Money Gram, reports said.
The victim told deputies she had received multiple phone calls from a man and a woman for the past year. They called and asked her to send them certain amounts of money via Money Gram so she can collect a million dollar prize from Publisher's Clearinghouse, reports said.
She told deputies she sent them the following amounts on the following days:October 25th $449.30November 11 $450December 31 $310January 26 $179.99February 10 $111.50
The victim told deputies she had sent more, but these were the only dates she had receipts for.
On the morning of February 15th, the day she attempted to withdraw $8,000, the suspects had threatened to send the police to her house if she didn't send them the money.

Albany -- It's almost time for students to head back to school. You can make sure they have the supplies they need.
The Albany Mall, Clear Channel and WALB are sponsoring the "Instruments of Learning" school supplies drive.
Donations will help students in Dougherty, Lee, Terrell and Worth counties.
You can donate any supplies, uniforms or even musical instruments by dropping them into this bus at the Albany mall.
"There is a huge need. There are 17,000 students within the student population of those four counties classified by the state as disadvantaged," Albany Mall Marketing Director, Debra Rowe. "They could really use the instruments and tools that they need to be successful."
Anyone who makes a donation Saturday, August fourth will also get a free gift. The drive will continue through August fifth.
