The AJC's Michael Cunningham has been reporting since last night that the Hawks and the Magic are talking again about Dwight Howard. To me, it seems that this is the best case scenario for the Magic. First of all, both the Magic and Hawks prevent the Nets from being a dominant Eastern Conference team for years to come along with the Heat. We could have a deal where Al Horford comes to Orlando (having been up here in ATL for the last several years, I can say he's a real talent) and Dwight Howard goes back to his hometown and gets his close friend Josh Smith on his team.
The long term implications for both teams work well here. Danny Ferry is gutting the Hawks to have huge cap space to rebuild the team from the ground up. If Dwight stays the season and then bolts, they aren't on the hook for his salary and the team continues to rebuild. The stories the past day say that the Nets have built up such a big payroll that they won't even be able to offer Dwight a max deal if he were to sign next offseason. So, that causes issues with whether he actually goes there even as a free agent. Dwight could opt to stay with the Hawks and build a contender or go elsewhere.
As for the Magic, if they get a package that includes Horford, they get a guy who is an all-star and is worth the money so-to-speak, unlike what seems to be a consensus of overpaying Brook Lopez. The Magic end up in a rebuild/compete faze. They put out a decent product, maybe a Heart and Hustle 2.0 and rebuild, but don't have to go the scorched earth route.
Who knows? The one thing that most can agree on is that Dwight Howard has shown himself to be a petulant child and secondly, the Nets deal seems pretty lousy. Late round draft picks and Brook Lopez. It would seem to be better to just let Howard walk and not have Lopez's contract on the books, but that would entail dealing with the Howard situation all season, which the Magic won't do.

Today's Pet of the Week is from the Aberdeen Humane Society. Say "Hello" to Cash. He is looking for a foster home. He is a beautiful 2-year-old lab mix. He is house-trained as long as you stay on a consistent schedule with him. He likes to be around other dogs and likes cats as well. He does pretty good with children, but he can get excited and jump up so he would need to be reminded of his manners! He does not like being in his kennel. He loves to go for car rides and lays very nicely and loves, loves, loves to go swimming! He seems to get pretty bad anxiety when kenneled, so he has lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. It would be great to see him with a family and start to gain that weight back. He is such a sweet boy and just needs a little help to get back to his normal self! So if you have room in your home and your heart for a great pup, stop by the Aberdeen Humane Society and spend some time with Cash.

Appearance- Extremely dark brown that lets zero light through. Creamy off white head that disappears fast. It almost looks solid unless you look very closely and can see some carbination.
Smell- A faint roasty coffee smell mixed with something unique that I cant quite figure out.
Taste- The taste delivers way more than I expected after smelling it. Very robust. A HINT of some dark chocolate, some more mellow roasted coffee notes, maybe a little smokyness and lots of malty sweetness. Theres also some bitterness in the after taste that gives it a nice twist. The flavor lingers and does NOT dissapoint.
Mouthfeel- A little warmth from the alchohol, plenty of body with some detectable carbination, matches the flavors real well.
Overall- Awesome porter. I'll definitely go back and buy another to share with a friend.

22 ounce bottle goes for $8.99 at DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY.
Pours darkest shades of brown, lifting a huge head, with retentive powers in full force. Fluffy and puffy and leaving impressive globs of sheeting and lace.
Sweat cocoa, vanilla, darker grains in the nose.
Freshly full flavor, lots of chalky chocolate, dark and bitter chocolate, dark coffee grounds,blasting herbal hop load lurking in the finish and pushing the flavor package. Creamy and super smooth in the mouth and over the tongue.
Nicely done. I really enjoyed this one.Go get some.

EIP opens with a dark, rich, malty nose that speaks of its porter heritage, being full of tobacco, peat, chocolate malt, and heavily-creamed coffee, as well as more subtle hints of toasted nut and a shade of dark fruit esters such as fig.
On the tongue, the beer is immediately and simultaneously porter and hints of IPA. On the porter side, the brew is quite dark--more stout than porter--with large black coffee, tobacco ash, chocolate and black malt notes, as well as hints of toasted nut. On the IPA side, there's obviously a double helping of hops in here based on the strength of the grapefruit flavors, which manage to come to the front despite the massive amounts of malt. Pretty Things' website says that the hops in this brew equal a double IPA, and the grapefruit and pine flavors swim ever closer to the surface as the beer is held on the tongue, and by the latter parts of the aftertaste constitute the larger portion of the flavors. Subsequent sips reveal fruit esters such as fig and lychee nut, as well as a healthy citrus dose from the hops. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium to medium-high, leaving a slight burning sensation on the tongue and soft palate.
Overall, this is a solid beer, and while there can be a slightly-too-powerful alcohol tinge at the edges of the brew--which is surprising since it's only 6% ABV--it's most certainly a delicious porter that features heavily the tobacco flavors of the style.

A - Dark, almost black, but with an interesting lightness on the edges (when held up to the light)
S - Smells like a decent stout. Think Sam Smith's Oatmeal.
T - Wonderful. Complex. Leaves a long roasted chocolate flavor.
M - Just a bit of an alcohol taste on the fringe of the tongue. Yummy.
O - Fantastic. Really complex with lots of flavors. Leaves a great smoked flavor that's both intriguing and delicious. Highly recommended.

Bottle purchased from Wine & Cheese Cask in Somerville.
Pours one shade from black with a tan head that leaves solid lacing.
Smells of smooth roasted malts with good amounts of dark and milk chocolate and deep pine hops. Also present are lighter, herbal hop notes.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Lightly roasted malts up front are joined quickly by pine hops with hints of deep citrus. Midway through smooth chocolate flavors come into play, fading out into a moderately bitter ending. Mouthfeel is very good, with grainy carbonation.
Overall nothing about this beer was over-the-top, instead it was a solid and easy-drinking beer made above average thanks to the mouthfeel. Well worth a shot.

Review from notes. Grabbed a bottle of this when I was up in Boston a few weeks ago.
A: Pours a rather nice orange highlighted brown with 1 1.5 finger tan head that had very nice retention, sitting on top for quite some time before settling to a thin layer of foam on top. Decent lacing.
S: A bit of sweet maple syrup, roasted malt and grains, some nice chocolate and a little bit of coffee. Slight floral hop component, but rather faint compared to everything else going on.
T: Quite roasty up front with a little bit of coffee to go along with it. The midpalate has some nice milk chocolate and a slight hop bitterness. Very tasty.
M: Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Slight bitter finish.
O: Quite enjoyable. Easy drinking for the style, and not as hoppy as I was expecting. For once I don't mind that at all. I prefer there to be a slight break between the darker ales and ipas.

Decent beer, cross between a brown and a porter.
On tap at The Ginger Man NYC. Lacey, brown body and tan head. Understaed bitterness, despite claims of high IBU. Roast is understated. Oats,wheat, mollasses, lots of malt is what I mostly get.Fuller mouthfeel.

Courtesy of ShogoKawada (thanks!) - poured from a 22oz bomber into my Samuel Smith nonic.
Not quite opaque bistre body with a creamy beige head. Good retention, rich lacing, and glassy legs.
Intense roast barley notes - suggesting coffee, tar, and a hint of toffee.
Bittersweet palate entry suggests a fine unsweetened chocolate with hints of tobacco and leather as the ale warms. Subdued but lasting bitterness is accompanied by mild alfalfa/hay, but the hop flavors are fleeting. Bread crusts, coffee, pecans, and burnt sugar show up in the finish.
Creamy, medium-bodied, and somewhat astringent (due to the roast levels). ABV is perfect.
This could be outstanding on cask, though it isn't bad in the bottle. Lacking the multiple layers of roast that my favorite examples sometimes exhibit, this is a robust and direct porter none the less - very enjoyable.

This is a 22oz bottle in what seem to be the newer packaging, bottled in November 2012, reading simply "Once Upon A Time 1855 East India Porter". Beer pours *super* weird -- I was expecting a porter of some sort, but this is almost golden in color. Well, it's a brownish red, but super hazy (and I have not been unkind to the bottle since I purchased it a few days ago). If I was grading this against typical standards for either a porter or an IPA it'd definitely get dinged for appearance, but who knows what 1855-era East India Porter is supposed to look like.
Aroma is much more typical for a porter, with standard roasty notes up front in a big way, and a much subtler suggestion of citrusy hop goodness. Flavor wise, however, East India Porter is the perfect label. It's super roasty in the mouth, as much as any traditional porter, or maybe a dry stout, though mouthfeel is more carbonation-heavy like an ale (I suspect the original 1855 version would not have been gassed and bottled). And then there's a hoppiness which is almost on par with an East Coast American IPA (I wouldn't call it an English IPA, though). It just lacks the citrusy brightness and any of the floral quality of an IPA. I thought it might compare to a CDA/American Black Ale, but no, the extra roast and nuttiness changes the equation qualitatively.
An interesting treat and I don't mind drinking it one bit.

This beer appears to pours black, but when held up to intense light it reveals itself to be a deep, dark caramel color. It gives a thick, creamy, brown tinted head.
The smell is malt, malt and more malt. Which shouldn't surprise, as the recipe calls for pale malt, brown malt, black malt, and amber malt. There is slight hop hint as well, and a surprising alcohol presence for a 6% abv brew.
Mouthfeel is warm and alcoholy- full bodied, moderate carbonation.
Taste is... deep and earthy, the roasted malt really stands out. The alcohol seems to warm the palate and intensifies the malty goodness. There is a surprising hops bitter finish that fights through the deep malt backbone of this beer. Its really different, and its fantastic.

A: Deep brown, somewhat murky loking, good head when poured but not a ton of retention or lacing.
S: Roastiness and bitter choclate mixed with some pungent hops. Interestning balance of hops and chocolate as both add a different bitter component.
T: Very similar to the taste, its like a a brown pale ale opposed to a black ipa which is a very interesting concept. The bitterness is quite enjoyable, but a little more sweetness to balance would have been nice
M: Slightly chalky and on the thin side.
D: A very enjoyable brew from pretty things and i love the idea that i am drinking a recreated beer. definitely the best one from the series thus far.

Pours a dark muddy brown color with a tight khaki colored head that settles into a light cap.
The aroma has a wonderful chocolate scent, weak coffee, and a woody/peat note. I don't pick up much hops in the nose but the malt is delightful. The chocolate seems to be more cocoa or brownie in nature.
The taste is of roasted malt and a more bitter chocolate than cocoa. This pairs with the grassy bitterness from the hops, which when combined give the beer quite a bitter edge. There are some milk chocolate notes as well as a hint of coffee. There is a general earthy/woody character to the brew. A sour berry note pops through every now and again. Quite a flavorful porter.
The beer is well bodied with tingly carbonation. It has a creamy texture which is crushed by the roasted malt and hop bitterness. The bitterness lingers in the finish.
A very bold porter @ 6%ABV. Outstanding flavor though a bit too bitter. Very much worth the purchase.

Had at the release at Deep Ellum - ripping good time! Top hats abound! I laud Dann and Martha for their great attitude towards brewing and Pretty Thing's consistently exciting takes on historical recipes!
Poured into a nonick pint glass a nice red mahogany - two solid fingers of creamy head slowly establishes itself and clings to the glass like a midshipman.
The nose pops with an earthy pine hop character, bitter chocolate and lightly roasted coffee.
Big smooth sweet malt in front, chocolate jumps out but is quickly brought inline with a roasty, spicy, pine hop bitterness. Body is medium with lower carbonation, but the hop profile makes the endeavor delicious. Clean, mostly dry finish with a lingering hop resin. Brilliantly drinkable.
I can taste it! I can taste 1855! The India Pale Ale gets all the history notes for it's use of hops as preservative, but the darker variety, the East India Porter that Pretty Things has recreated is even better. I can almost picture myself sipping this after a rollicking cricket test match with the local lads in Rangpur. Ahh, colonialism.
Beer how it was, now. Very pleased.

Beautiful dark brown/black beer with a nice thick tan head and slinky lacing.
Smells like ac hoppy dark beer: citrus, roast, chocolate.
Taste is roast, mild hops, espresso, and chocolare.
Mouthfeel was a little ooff for me, not sure why, but maybe it was a linegring drying feeling?
Still, a great brew!

Sampled on August 17, 2011. What a fabulous presentation with the ribbon over the cap and the gray tone label that mixes 18th century calligraphy with modern sans serif typewriter font. The pour is a handsome but cloudy brown with a long lasting foamy head. The aromas are rich with baking chocolate, smoke, coffee, and hops. The body is full. The taste is bold with smoky chocolate with a near dry finale. It is also very drinkable. Excellent brew from Pretty Things.

A semi opaque brown colored beer with a fine tan froth that sticks around. Dry, toasty malt, more in the way of bittersweet chocolate, woodsmoke and burnt molasses than dark fruit. Hops are dominant, with a nice green stalk flavor. Fresh and bitter, leaving little malt sweetness on the palate. A little sting of mineral/metal in the finish, which is otherwise all hops. Tight, clean, bitter. My kind of porter-- reminds me of several Northwest beers I used to enjoy in OR.

Pours a very dark brown red which you cant see through. Has a light tan creamy looking head.
Smells of hops and roasted coffee, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon. Definitely smells like a hoppy porter.
Tastes like coffee, vanilla, roasted flavors. Also you get a hoppy presence that gathers and builds to the finish, which gets bitter never overpowering bitter. Bitter finish comparable to mildly bitter ipa. Has a hop spiciness that pairs well with the coffee flavors. Some sweetness emeges at random.
Medium bodied smooth and creamy
This is good. About what I was expecting. Didn't disappoint. Kinda like a really good hoppy black & tan.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Mid-Michigan is ready for the arrival of our President.
President Obama will be flying into Lansing this afternoon to sign the massive farm bill passed by congress earlier this week.
We found out last week, he was headed our way. A lot of people are looking forward the President's visit.
But the President has more on his plate than just the farm bill.
President Barack Obama will not only sign the nearly $100 billion per year farm bill into law this afternoon, but he also plans to announce the launching of a new program titled "Made in Rural America" to help American farmers and rural businesses boost their exports.
The new initiative will set policy for agricultural programs and though it'll make some cuts to the food stamp program, lawmakers in the house argue it will help the 47 million recipients of food stamps while allowing farmers to keep their subsidies.
The new administration program will connect rural businesses with federal resources that can help sell their products and services abroad.
The creation of the program comes as US farmers are sending more products overseas, a record 141 billion dollars last year. US officials say even more opportunities exist overseas for farmers and other rural business owners.
"This opens up a whole new vista of economic opportunity that has not existed before. And this farm bill makes an historic investment in both of those things. And so I'm excited about that," said Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture.
The event is closed to the public, but 6 News will have complete team coverage of his stay. You can watch his speech live on-air and streaming on www.wlns.com.
President Obama is expected to begin his speech on Friday around 2 p.m.

I've been sharing several quick weekday breakfast with ya'll and thought I share another go to breakfast for my kiddos {and myself}. This is a building block recipe: You need this one to make several other ones. I make microwave oatmeal often but make it different by what I mix into it!
The first thing that is important to note about this recipe is that it calls for Rolled Oats {or Old Fashioned Oats – they are EXACTLY the same thing}. I buy organic rolled oats in bulk VERY cheaply in the bulk bins at my Whole Foods store. As a matter of fact, I find that it is cheaper to purchase this way than conventional store-bought oats at the regular grocery store! This is especially true when I purchase a 50lb bag – because I get the 10% "case" discount that Whole Foods offers when you buy the entire thing. I just store them in food safe buckets once I get home and they'll last all year. I keep a small amount in my pantry in a big half gallon mason jar to work out of. I can use these to make oatmeal {obviously} but oats are also delicious in my oat pancakes, in muffins, and other bread products. They can also be used as a filler in meatloaf and are fantastic in cookies! Regardless of whether you buy the whole bag or not, rolled oats {or old fashioned oats} are MUCH cheaper than instant oatmeal – and MUCH healthier too!
What are Rolled or Old Fashioned Oats?
Rolled Oats or Old Fashioned Oats are whole grains of oats that are steamed to make them soft and pliable, and then pressed between rollers and dried. The resulting "rolled oats" re-absorb water and cook much more quickly than whole groats or steel-cut oats.
Why are they Healthier than Instant?
The biggest difference in instant oats and rolled oats are texture {rolled oats retain more texture where as instant oats are more like mush}. Nutritionally they aren't much different. HOWEVER, most instant oats are sold in individual packets with other ingredients mixed in – like sugar, ingredients that read more like a lab experiment, and food colorings!
For instance, Quaker Oats Instant Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal packets have 10 ingredients. To make similar oatmeal at home you need 2 or 3 ingredients: oats, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
So, as usual, it is healthier to MAKE YOUR OWN. But, it doesn't have to be hard or take too long!
Here's what you do:
:: Healthy Rolled Oats – Oatmeal – in the Microwave
Start with enough oats to feed the number of people you are serving. My two littles and I eat 1 cup of oats together. A serving is 1/2 a cup but that is A LOT of oatmeal so most of the time we don't eat a full serving. You may have to experiment to figure out how much to make without wasting a bunch – but luckily they are cheap
Pour dry oats in a large glass or ceramic cooking dish {NO plastic} and add liquid.
You'll need twice as much liquid as oats. So, if you cook one cup of dry oats you need 2 cups of liquid.
You can use water and/or milk for the liquid. I like to use some of both. Milk makes the oatmeal a bit more flavorful and creamy. But, since milk isn't cheap, I mix it half and half – half milk, half water.
Place the dish in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes on high. Stir. Place back in the microwave and cook for 5 more minutes on high. At this point you'll need to see if most of the liquid has cooked out and taste them to see if they are the right texture/down enough. If they are still a bit liquidy or "chewy" just place them back in and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes or until done.
The oatmeal won't have much flavor on its own. So, at this point we add things like a spoonful of raw honey, a little more milk or cream, some fresh fruit, and/or nuts. You can also add brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins, or other dried fruit. Stay tuned for my recipe for apple pie oatmeal coming next week!

Voice Over: Trisha Donnelly on Her 'Artist's Choice' Show at MoMA
"It actually makes me nervous to stand up to speak about it, because I still go and look at these things way too frequently," the artist Trisha Donnelly said at the start of her talk at MoMA on Monday night. She was discussing the works in the show that she has organized for the "Artist's Choice" series, which invites artists to curate from the museum's collection. Her show, in galleries on the fourth and fifth floors, is on view for three more weeks.
As an artist, Ms. Donnelly throws curveballs. Most famously, she arrived at one of her crowded openings on horseback, reciting a mysterious speech. At MoMA on Monday, she asked for the lights to be turned off in the sold-out theater. She wanted to play some music that had influenced the show. Read More

$url = $this->constructURL() . $subURL;
function connect(){
$url = $this->constructURL() ; within restfulservice.php, as an error was being flagged.
On my dev server, the Flickr module works well, however, on the live server, I am now getting an error

according to my hosting providers, Curl has been installed on the server.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

We interrupt Alderson Avenue's regularly scheduled programming to bring you this long overdue 2010 starting pitching review.
As a unit, Mets starting pitchers were average to slightly above average in 2010. Preseason expectations were exceeded, mainly due to the emergence of one R.A. Dickey. Mike Pelfrey, Johan Santana and Jon Niese were also strong, while Opening Day rotation members Oliver Perez and John Maine were not. To keep this fresh, I'll present the starters' seasons in graph form. The following are chronological plottings of each pitcher's Game Score throughout the 2010 season. It's an easy way to view the ups and downs of the pitchers. A higher Game Score is better -- for reference, Dickey's 1-hit shutout of the Phillies registered a 91, while Ollie's 3.1 inning, 7 run stinkbomb against the Marlins in May tallied a 16.
Mike Pelfrey
Mike Pelfrey
Johan Santana
Johan Santana
Jon Niese
Jon Niese
R.A. Dickey
R.A. Dickey
Oliver Perez
Oliver Perez
Let's keep this brief. Of this crew, Pelfrey, Niese and Dickey are projected to be in the 2011 Opening Day rotation. I think Pelfrey will maintain his 2008-2010 performance, Niese will improve and Dickey will fall off a bit. All should be above average. I'm not expecting anything from Santana and the Mets should add two starting pitchers.
Trading for James Shields or Matt Garza will be discussed ad nauseum this offseason and with good reason. The Mets should pursue both -- Shields is better but each would be a strong addition to the rotation. Fernando Martinez, Lucas Duda and Kirk Nieuwenhuis are all available in a trade. There are some decent free agent options available -- Javier Vazquez, Jake Westbrook, Carl Pavano and Jorge de la Rosa are a few. My target would be Hiroki Kuroda. Yes, he's old (36 in February) and an obvious injury risk, but he's also quite good. A two year contract in Joel Pineiro territory (~$8 million per year) might lock him up.
Gee and Takahashi are in my Opening Day bullpen, and both are capable of starting when need be. Mejia starts the season in the minors. Same with Misch. Quality depth at minimal cost is the goal here. Cliff Lee is a pipe dream and when he doesn't sign with the Mets no one should complain.
Desired 2011 starting rotation: James Shields, Hiroki Kuroda, Mike Pelfrey, R.A. Dickey, Jon Niese
Projected 2011 starting rotation: Mike Pelfrey, Jon Niese, R.A. Dickey, Vazquez/Pavano/Westbrook, pray for Johan

The trial for an East Texas man, accused of murdering another man outside a Tyler mall in February 2013, began on Tuesday morning. Ricky Neal, Jr., 26, is charged with murder and aggravated assault for his role in the death of 23-year-old Christopher Mass of Chapel Hill.
Neal's aggravated assault charge stems from an incident police say began inside the Broadway Square Mall. According to an arrest affidavit, Neal and another man entered into an argument inside the mall over comments made on the social media website Twitter. Investigators said that fight eventually re-ignited in the parking lot, resulting in Neal shooting at, but missing another man.
However, during that same confrontation in the mall parking lot, police say Neal shot Mass two times, resulting in his death.
KLTV is in the courtroom and we will continue to bring you updates throughout the trial.
9:12 a.m.: Judge Russell made a stern announcement regarding photography and recordings in the courtroom. He said if anyone (not including media) takes a photo or recording in the courtroom, he will instruct deputies to confiscate all cell phones and other electronics at the door each day of the trial. He says the rules regarding recordings and photography are put in place so the jury is not exposed to other information that was not presented during trial but may influence their verdict.
8:58 a.m.: Before the judge entered the courtroom, Thad Davidson, Neal's attorney told the spectators in the courtroom that no cell phone photos can be taken in the courtroom. Davidson said someone took a photo of Neal yesterday and posted it on Facebook and that is strictly prohibited.
Tuesday morning, Neal was dressed in a black suit seated next to his attorney, Davidson.
Before selecting the jury, the court took up a few issues regarding the trial. Attorneys and Judge Kerry Russell spent about 10 minutes discussing weather or not the word "gang" and "gangster" would be allowed during the trial.
The State says they believe there may be evidence that the victim, Christopher Mass, and the defendant, Neal, were involved in gangs. At the State's request, Judge Russell says the words "gang" and "gangster" will not be used during the guilt/innocence phase of the trial.
Neal told the court he has decided that if he is found guilty, he would like to be sentence by a jury instead of a judge. Davidson tells Judge Russell that Neal does intend to take the stand and testify during the trial.
About 20 people showed up to observe the hearing.
Jury selection is taking place Tuesday morning. The trial will begin on Wednesday morning.

Flying Nun Records
Part 1 - Anything Could Happen
As the 1970s gave way to the 1980s, New Zealand society underwent a sea change.
In the post-punk/springbok tour era, it took a bright idea, $50, and a lot of good will to start Flying Nun Records, an independent record company based in Christchurch NZ.
Formed almost by accident to document the evolving music scene, and working project to project, it was fuelled by a freakishly good collection of songwriters and other creative types.
Part 1 - Anything Could Happen ( 51′ 1″ )
It took a bright idea, $50, and a lot of good will for Flying Nun Records to start documenting NZ's South Island music scene in 1981.

Peter Facinelli has revealed the scenes he has shot so far in New Moon–including the birthday scene, the voting scene, and the scene where he stiches up Bella. He note that he has a couple of more shots to do in May, then he'll be done. Coincidentally, when he was visiting Disneyland with his family none other than Stephenie Meyer was there as well–
I saw Stephenie Meyer at Disneyland. We went to Disneyland – just randomly went to Disneyland with my family and we both were eating dinner at the [Blue] Bayou restaurant, you know, Pirates of the Caribbean. And it was so odd. She walked over and I was like, 'This is too coincidental.' But, I should have told her, 'You know, why did you take the Cullens out of the second book so much?' I did tell her, 'You know what? I'm a little upset I didn't get to go to Italy.' I said, 'Carlisle could have shown up in Italy.'"

In the 1960s, it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be called genocide: the removal of the minority population for the purpose of redevelopment of the land. That's what's happening in Benton Harbor and the foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney.
June 10, 2009
A Michigan judge ruled this week that the Rev. Edward Pinkney, a Benton Harbor minister and longtime vocal community activist who recently served 13 months in jail, couldn't attend his own hearing in Grand Rapids before the Michigan Court of Appeals because he is under 24-hour house arrest and probation for quoting the Bible.
June 4, 2009
An all-white Berrien County jury had convicted Rev. Pinkney, the founder of Benton Harbor's Black Autonomy Network of Community Organizers (BANCO) and an associate pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church, in March 2007 on allegations of voter fraud. He won release from prison on bond in December 2008 only after the Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) took an interest in his case and helped with his defense.
December 11, 2008
A Court of Appeals granted the ACLU's motion for bond on behalf of Rev. Edward Pinkney, who is serving a 3-10 year sentence for harshly criticizing a judge.
October 10, 2008
Due to the great outpouring of support in Michigan, Rev. Edward Pinkney has become the Green Party candidate in the 6th District Congressional race. He is running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, a political heir to Whirlpool Corp.-Harbor Shores Community Redevelopment Inc.

D'Antoni not worried about Nash's defense
JAN 19, 2013 7:12a ET
Will D'Antoni stick with that plan with Bryant, even if it wears him down?
"How many more games do we have?" joked D'Antoni. "Unless he dies before ... like an old mule, you've got to shoot him. No, he can do it; and you know what? There will be games where we take him off and put him on Dwyane Wade for example," laughed D'Antoni.
Naturally, if Bryant is guarding the point guard, Steve Nash is going to have to defend a bigger player. In some cases it will be the opposing shooting guard or a small forward.
D'Antoni isn't worried about Nash getting exposed often on the cross match.
"Well, he doesn't get hurt down there and he's always in the right position," said D'Antoni. "We do have Dwight [Howard] behind him."
The Lakers might give up a few points from players like Alonzo Gee or Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, but that's something D'Antoni is willing to live with.
"[Nash] can front and we'll take a couple of buckets. I think Gee from Cleveland got a couple of tap-ins," said the Lakers coach. "I think what Kobe is doing offsets by 10 times what they might get on a perceived mismatch that's not their strength anyway. We're not going to put [Nash] on their leading scorer at a small forward, but if he's [defending] the fifth scorer on the team and they want to go there, then so be it."
D'Antoni noted that Nash is a strong team defender.
"The best thing about Steve, what he's doing, he's organizing our weak side," said D'Antoni. "He's always in the right spot. He's always cracking back at the right time and he's getting guys organized and that's been valuable."
The issue the Lakers ran into on Thursday in their 99-90 loss to the Miami Heat was dealing with Miami's lineup with Ray Allen, LeBron James and Wade. If Bryant is on Wade, Nash certainly can't take James, which leaves Allen -- who hit a crucial late bucket for the Heat.
The Lakers have played better since moving Bryant onto the ball defensively, but there's still a lot left to resolve as they try to climb into the top eight in the Western Conference.

Daniel Wiener's paintings and sculptures are highly imaginative. Inspired by daydreams and transformations, the viewer can sense how he has captured something ephemeral- a fleeting moment. His saturation of colors and fluid lines seem to change before the eye. Each medium that Wiener explores shifts, winds, untangles, and blooms allowing his art to evoke multiple responses and feelings.
