Pleasures and Sadness of WritingPosted by Paul in Alumni and other friends, Amusements, General, literature
Via Danny Rendleman:
One of my greatest pleasures in writing has come from the thought that perhaps my work might annoy someone of comfortably pretentious position. Then comes the saddening realization that such people rarely read.

If you visit the Internet Movie Database as frequently as I do, you've probably noticed a few changes to the home page in the last couple of days (if you visit the Internet Movie Database as frequently as I do, you probably also want to consider getting more regular exercise). The biggest change is the loss of IMDb's "Hit List," their daily roundup of interesting links from around the web. It's a loss that's going to be felt as much by film writers as film lovers.
Expertly curated by the IMDb's staff, the Hit List was an online rarity: the closet thing the movie interwebs had to a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. As a writer, if you made it onto the Hit List, you knew you were doing something right. Unlike other link roundups that focus primarily on news or gimmicky features, Hit List was devoted to intelligent film criticism. Unlike other link roundups that stick to well-trafficked sites, Hit List often recommended essays from obscure sources far from the beaten path. It was a true meritocracy; reader submissions were welcomed and frequently taken and the cream always rose to the top.
IMDb's sizable audience meant a Hit List link was worth a lot more than an ego stroke, too: it also meant huge amounts of traffic. For writers who preferred to seriously explore the world of cinema instead of link baiting with a list of, say, the Top Ten Celebrity Pet Owners, the Hit List was an invaluable resource. Now, adventurous critics will need to find new ways to reach new readers.
In a statement on the Hit List Submission Page, IMDb said that "Hit List was created years ago, before we had our current news system or the various social media as tools for sharing stories posted by you with the rest of our users. Now, however, times have changed, and our focus will be to share your links and suggestions from this board with our users via our Facebook and Twitter accounts." That's certainly understandable -- social media is a great traffic driver for writers. If IMDb used its Facebook and Twitter pages to recommend reading to its thousands of followers, that would be a fine replacement for the Hit List. So far, though, the site doesn't really do that. Most of the items IMDb shares on Twitter and Facebook are casting scoops, photos, and trivia; nothing like the substantive articles that you'd find on the Hit List. Maybe this will change in the future. I certainly hope it does.
There are other worthwhile online link lists. Ray Pride does a fine job of aggregating interesting work at Movie City News, and Rotten Tomatoes does their own (less literate) version on their homepage. The Hit List wasn't the only one doing what it did. It was just the best, which is why it will be missed.

I use IMDb Pro and that still has an aggregate of news stories on the front page. You'd think it wouldn't be too much trouble to continue this on the open website. I guess it's more a money issue than a social media one.
BTW I'm gonna love seeing my Dbacks sweep your Mets this weekend. No hard feelings.
Charlotte | May 1, 2012 9:43 PM
I looked forward to checking out the new hit list every day. I am so sad it's gone! I have IMDb on Facebook, and it's true that they haven't really done anything on there that would be the equivalent of the system they had going on the hit list... I hope they can sort it out, because I really miss it!
elisha dunker | April 26, 2012 12:41 AM
hit list was my favorite section of the imdb site. could you recommendthe top 10 or 15 sites that appeared on hit list that are consistantlyexcellent. i will check movie city news & criticwire daily, but anyadditional info would be helpful.hit list will be missed. time for aon line petion to imdb- restore hit list now!

The preliminary CBS ratings for Strikeforce: "Nashville" are in -- and I don't think anyone from the San Jose fight promotion is going to be breaking out the party hats.
"Saturday Night Fights" averaged 2.63 million viewers for the live network television broadcast and earned an anemic 1.0 rating. To put that number in perspective, Strikeforce was beat by America's Most Wanted and a repeat of Law & Order.
It also fell far short of their CBS debut last November when "Fedor vs. Rogers" drew 3.79 million viewers in the overnight ratings (and later peaked with 5.46 million in the main event).
The final numbers that include the remainder of the Shields vs. Henderson main event as well as the post-fight melee will be available Tuesday.
Here's a snapshot of the quarterly breakdown, courtesy of TV by the Numbers:
9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 2.57 million (#4), A18-49: 0.8/ 3 (#4)
9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 2.55 million (#4), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#4)
10:00 p.m. – Viewers: 2.89 million (#3), A18-49: 1.2/ 4 (#2)
10:30 p.m. – Viewers: 2.52 million (#3), A18-49: 1.0/ 3 (#2)
Because the broadcast ran past the 11:00 p.m. cutoff, there is a chance those numbers could improve when the additional ratings are counted. Unfortunately it does not help that the viewership was already in a decline from 10-10:30 p.m. ET time frame.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for the final numbers this Tuesday (April 20). In the meantime, you can get yourself up to speed on all the action from last Saturday here and here.

For those of you who already recycle and are looking to further reduce your environmental impact, composting can be a fun and rewarding activity. It's also a resourceful way to feed your houseplants or garden.
But what if you don't live in a house or have a yard for big composting bins? If you have extra space in a closet or a cabinet, have a balcony or are allowed on the roof of your apartment building, you can still compost effectively.
Compost can be made up of almost everything you throw away in your kitchen. Fruit scraps, vegetable waste, paper napkins and even coffee grounds can make for a suitable compost fertilizer, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
To get started, you can use a few five-gallon buckets to make your own compost bin. You can also buy special indoor bins from hardware and gardening stores or purchase them online.
Mission Trail, which serves Los Altos will give you a free worm bin if you want to try that method. It will also give you a compost bin. See, also ReduceWaste.org at Santa Clara County's website to get started with good information.
Check out The Worm Dude, because you gotta love the name of "the preferred worm breeder for the State of California, Santa Clara County, Alameda County, and the City of San Jose," aka, Gary Gach. And, he knows of what he speaks.
Orchard Supply Hardware and Summer Winds in both Sunnyvale and Mountain View in are also great places to get those bins to get started with home projects.
The EPA offers a few tips on how to create an effective compost mixture:
- Browns - This includes materials such as dead leaves, branches, and twigs.
- Greens - This includes materials such as grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds.
- Water - Having the right amount of water, greens, and browns is important for compost development.
Your compost pile should have an equal amount of browns to greens. You should also alternate layers of organic materials of different-sized particles. The brown materials provide carbon for your compost, the green materials provide nitrogen, and the water provides moisture to help break down the organic matter.
For the adventurous, adding worms to your heap can help make your mixture a richer fertilizer. Worms will aerate your mixture while burrowing for food and they excrete a natural substance that contains more nutrients than topsoil.

Fraught with drama, Stage 6 of the 2012 Tour de France played host to a massive crash in the peloton with 16 miles left. Many big names were involved in the terrifying crash, including Mark Cavendish, Frank Schleck -- whose loss of time from the crash may have taken him straight out of contention -- and Giro d'Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal, who lost nearly 13 minutes as a result. Hesjedal also appeared to injure his left hip in the crash, which may effect his performance going forward.
Leading up to the finish line for Stage 6, Andre Greipel looked set to win his third straight stage, but had chain issues and was overtaken by Peter Sagan for the win. Matt Goss from Australia came in third.
Fabian Cancellara will retain the yellow jersey. Here are the General Classification standings after Friday's ride:
1. Fabian Cancellara 29:22:36
2. Bradley Wiggins, 7 sec. behind leader
3. Sylvain Chavanel, 7 sec.
4. Tejay van Garderen, 10 sec.
5. Denis Menchov, 13 sec.
6. Cadel Evans, 17 sec.
7. Vincenzo Nibali, 18 sec.
8. Peter Sagan, 19 sec.
9. Andreas Klöden, 19 sec.
10. Maxime Monfort, 22 sec.

So here we are. We've had more then one interesting moment during the duration of this Summer League. Over 2 plus weeks of stupidity, hilarity, utterly bemusing and multiple appearances from a certain Juan ManBand(That joke is terrifically smart). So for one final time let us delve once more into the often times confusing and poorly punctuated Summer League Diary.
Josh Selby. Now I understand how half of you are flipping out right now wondering how I could over look Damian Lillard but let me explain. When I started the whole narrowing down process I looked at 3 players. I looked at Selby, Lillard and finally Austin Daye. Now that last one may catch you off guard but Daye was easily one of the best players in Orlando. I mean every single game he contributed in whatever way he could. I mean he had a double double in his first game, his second he had 15 points while having 2 steals and 5 blocks and this pattern continues throughout his performances. The only reason and this shows up later with Lillard is the quality of player he played with. Daye played with Knight,English,Singler and Drummond. While he may have been a key part of that team but he was not the most valuable player. It was the same for Lillard. He played on one of the most stacked rosters at the Summer League and while he may have been the best player on that team he at the very least had good players backing him up. Which is a struggle at the very least for Josh Selby who quite frankly was carrying his team.
To put it in perspective how influential Selby was. He scored 27% of the entire Grizzlies point total. While you may say Selby just jacks it up but you can't argue the numbers he put up. 55% FG percentage to go along with the 64% 3 point field goal percentage. Not only that but he had more assists then turnovers along with an extremely impressive 2.4 steals a game. Listen anyone of those 3 guys I listed you can make solid case for them being the MVP but when you put me down to it I'm gonna stick with Selby.
C: Dontas Montiejunas, Houston Rockets.
I think we all knew this was coming. THE DONTAE was easily one of the players of the Summer League. He was the first proper out and out center we saw. He ran the floor extremely well, he rebounded, he played defense and most importantly he can shoot the 3. Okay maybe that last one was more of an extra then a necessity but you throw that in with his advanced post game that he sported and you've got a really really talented prospect that hopefully Houston can build around for the future.
PF: Markieff Morris, Phoenix Suns
While it may seem like a complicated debate it was really hard to look anywhere else but Markieff Morris when it comes to the Power Forward position. While the Suns may not have been the best team Morris stood out by miles with his play. To put it in perspective Morris was only .2 away from having a 20 PPG, a 10 RPG, 1 SPG and 2 BPG. While he didn't exactly achieve those numbers his numbers from the Summer League proved to be rather spectacular. His 24 point 17 rebound and 6 block game will remain as one of the single most dominant performances by any one player over those 2 weeks.
SF: Austin Daye, Detroit Pistons
I hear the Kawhi Leonard, Harrison Barnes and Tobias Harris screams but let me explain why Daye is the best SF for the job. None of those 3 listed above played better defense then Daye. None of those guys listed contributed on the defensive end the way Daye did. I mean Leonard and Harris put up ridiculous scoring numbers but neither had massive success shooting the 3 but again when I look at Daye he was a competent enough scorer and rebounder to make him seem good but that defense was just what put him over the top.
SG: Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
If Klay had played all 5 games I would have most likely given in to him but he didn't and Beal was the most consistent of the Shooting Guards to play at the Summer League. I mean he sort of wins it by default due to John Jenkins not being able to carry his performance, Dion Waiters just plain not showing up and Jeremy Lamb not being able to do anything else but score. Don't get me wrong Beal was easily the best player on that idiotic Washington team. He was a great scorer who showed the ability to stroke it and go strong to the basket. His defense was all round impressive, not lights out but solid enough to not be a liability every time the other team came down the court.
PG: Josh Selby, Memphis Grizzlies
Because of all reason's stated above. Okay just so I don't look lazy and like I just cut corners with this little portion let me start off with saying this. I like my point guards pass first, score later. If I wasn't picking the best overall team and trying to construct a team to win I would have most likely picked either Kendall Marshall or Scott Machado(Who we will get to later).
Pick a center, any center Tyler Zeller, Cleveland Cavaliers
Really it's hard to pick any one big man that stood out in any certain way like THE DONTAE! did. Okay Meyers Leonard was average, Enes Kanter was average but consistent, Miles Plumlee isn't really a center, Festus Ezeli has no post game at all. I mean I suppose I could give it to Drummond.....oh crap I forgot about Zeller! Actually when I think about it, Zeller was probably a bit of all the guys listed above. He showed decent defense but his transition offense was tremendous. I mean he's got great hands and runs the floor terrifically and finishes so well. I mean he's got a sort of wily veteran vibe about him on the floor like he somehow manages to find ways to grabs boards, make defensive plays and get buckets on the offensive end.
PF: Ed Davis, Toronto Raptors
Easily one of the single most under-rated player to play at this years summer league for a reason. I mean I was sorely tempted to make the Tar Heel combo of Zeller and Henson but Davis was just too good over the Summer League to leave out. I mean he rebounded so well and carried the Raptors front court offensive on many a occasion during the Summer League. Only thing that separates him from Henson is his ability to hit the boards stronger and more consistently.
SF: Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs
Okay no Harrison Barnes here sorry. Leonard carried that Spurs team through the two games he played. I mean he has great ball handling ability which I don't think quite a few people were expecting and he just has a certain grittyness and toughness that stands out with him. I mean it's like watching MKG go to work again. He just has that work mentality that he'll fight for everything and outwork his competition.
SG: Jeremy Lamb, Houston Rockets
Let me first off say that again if this was my team to build then I would have picked Terrance Ross because I love his athleticism and is overall game is more rounded shall we say then Lamb. But Lamb is the best SG left and that cannot be ignored. I just look at Lamb now and think ''Okay so you're Kevin Martin's replacement....what can you do better then him?''. For starters I think Lamb has the potential to be a much better defender due his insane wingspan. I think he's a better inside scorer then Martin due to his ability and that floater(Get ready to see that floater every time he get's into the lane). The real issue is if he can be a more passing shooting guard that spreads the ball around instead of becoming a ball hog and trying to win the game by himself.
PG: Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers
Again, what do I need to say that I have not already stated when it comes to Lillard? He's a scoring machine that carried that Blazers teams at times. When we look back at two or three years at this draft class I will fall of my chair with surprise if Lillard is not the consensus best Point Guard from this class.
Kent Bazemore. Finally a GSW get's an award. Okay there were quite a few people that could have gotten this award. 76ers Justin Holiday, GSW's Draymond Green, Rockets Terrance Jones and Scott Machado but Bazemore was unreal off the bench. For a start the man was quite frankly a defensive SG the likes of which I have not seen for a while. Not only that but he shot the ball exceptionally well and just opitomise what a 6th man does. He comes off the bench and influences the game and Bazemore did that better then anybody else.
Okay you may have one of the most dis-jointed teams with one of the sneaky best coaches but do not fret Bucks fans because you have some very talented big men on their way to help you start to figure out just what the hell it is you want to figure out. Tobias Harris was a very pleasant player that showed he has some potential going forward. But the real star was John Henson who I have a giant basketball man-crush on. I will still maintain to this day that if you offered me Thomas Robinson or John Henson at number 7 on draft night I would have taken Henson because of the potential he carries with him in his stick frame body. I mean he's Anthony Davis but not living in the mansion that the unibrow is living it. Also watch out for lengthy big man Larry Sanders who averaged 3 blocks over his appearances in the summer league.
They have a really REALLY hard working team. I mean they still suck but hell they may have just struck gold with MKG on an big scale. He's a winner and Kemba Walker is also a winner and these guys need to win like they need air and quite frankly I think MJ knows this and wants these two guys to lead this team. I mean they should have gotten Davis and rebuilt their franchise behind a franchise caliber player but MKG could possibly be even better then Davis in the long run in terms of what that team will play and act like.
They were big winners. While there was no one player that stood out they all showed that they could outwork and out play anyone that they game up against. It's also good to see that the talent that's coming in right now wants to win and win now.
This is now an all encompassing statement whatever the time of year when regarding the Knicks.
Washington Wizards:
Regardless of having what looked like a very talented squad led by Bradley Beal heading into the Summer League they were once again foiled by not only Kung Fu Treachery(If you've never seen Black Dynamite I highly suggest you do so right now. Seriously stop reading this and go watch it on netflix or something. Hell i'll even stop writing just so you won't miss anything) and sheer stupidity that we have become used to when discussing matters that relate to the Wizards. Well it was really two players that manged to single-handedly sink the Wizards battleship. First we have Chris ''2 Bars'' Singleton and Jan ''THE DUNKING NINJA'' Vesely. Now I think it's been established what Vesely can and cannot do. He can dunk. He cannot play the game of basketball at an NBA level. As for Singleton I gave him the nickname of ''2 Bars'' because that's what i've concluded his two hands to be. 2 Bars of Soap.
It all sort of went south very quickly for the Kings over the Summer League. Thomas Robinson has the single reddest belly of all the players at the Summer League because he belly-flopped HARD. This left the Kings having to rely on the shooting of Jimmer Fredette.......yeah how'd you think that went. The Kings struggled throughout the week however they do now have the rest of the off-season to figure things out.
(I apologise quite a bit for the lateness of this article but other shenanigans had to be attended to. Anyway It was huge fun not only watching the Summer League but writing about it and putting it up here. Hoped you enjoyed reading them as much as i enjoyed writing them and as always have a nice day)

Slate of Schools for Special Called Meeting November 29
November 26, 2012
Dear Board Commissioners,
As was requested at last Tuesday evening's Board Work Session, we wanted to provide you additional information about the upcoming school closure discussion you will have at your Special Called Meeting beginning at 4 p.m. on Thursday afternoon (November 29) in the TLA Auditorium. This is a vitally important meeting on a topic of the utmost gravity; neither of us takes the possibility of closing schools lightly, and neither should the Board or our community.
Our starting place for the upcoming conversation ultimately preceded the Transition Planning Commission's (TPC) recommendations by several months. Following the process outlined by MCS Policy 3.602, the Shelby County Board of Education (SCBE) and staff undertook the closure of three schools effective for the 2011-12 school year. Many of you participated in the community meetings held at Georgia Avenue Elementary, Graceland Elementary, and/or Lakeview Elementary or the schools designated as receiver schools.
We now come to a point that the next round of proposed school closures is coming for your consideration. Although the context of the discussion is framed a bit differently than last year's process – TPC had not issued any recommendations when we discussed closures last year – the systematic way we approach this important issue remains the same: guided by policy and shaped by precedent.
Just as we did last year, we asked our staffs to identify any schools that should be considered for closing. The proposal coming to you on Thursday night is to conduct a series of impact studies on school closings per MCS Policy 3.602:
"The Superintendent will identify the school/schools to be considered for closing. A school impact study
will then be conducted by staff taking into several factors, including:
1. Current and projected school enrollment to determine if the school has a small and declining
enrollment with little expectation for growth.
2. Time, distance, and cost of student transportation.
3. Reduction of future capital expenditures for modernization, renovation, and/or replacement of
identified facility.
4. Impact on the quality of life in the community.
5. If the assignment of students will be to an equally (or more) desirable facility which offers
curricula and opportunities equal to (or better than) those available in the school that is being
proposed for closing.
6. The age, structural soundness, and general condition of the school proposed for closing.
7. Ability of building to meet safety standards established by the state.
8. Cost of upkeep and maintenance.
9. Ability of building to meet safety standards established by the state and safety standards for public
buildings, including state fire codes.
At least two community meetings will be held as part of the comprehensive school closing study."
While school closures are never easy and should be a last resort for a school district and a community, given the disruption and instability a school closure causes to students and to neighborhoods, it is important to remember that we have been down this road together before, and we know that, done right, the process works.
Now for a word about the context of Thursday's discussion: Attached you will find a set of PowerPoint slides (BCG Slides on School Closures.pdf) on school closures that were presented to us by the Boston Consulting Group, working on behalf of the TPC. As you will see, much thought and effort went into the preparation of these documents; we believe that you should review these documents prior to the meeting on Thursday. In the set of slides, you will see schools in each of the four MCS regions, and in incorporated and unincorporated Shelby County, listed on pages eight and nine of the Appendix. These schools were identified and listed by BCG using the single criterion of underutilization. It is important to note that TPC did not identify these schools as a "closure list" and neither do we.
However, you should know that TPC recommendation #113 indicates that the Board and staff close 20 schools in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Memphis. Our teams have worked diligently to be prepared for questions you may have about the TPC's assumptions and expectations, but we believe that following Board policy and process in this matter is the best course. Toward that end, we will present a listing of schools (Slate of Schools for Special Called Meeting November 29.pdf) on Thursday evening that will be considerably fewer than the 20 unnamed schools recommended for closure by the TPC.
Finally, we want to be exceptionally clear on the following point for you and for the community: Any vote taken on Thursday night will only begin the process of conducting the impact studies and the series of community meetings in just the same manner as was done last year; no schools will be closed on Thursday night.
We welcome any questions you may have about this important process and look forward to a robust conversation at the Special Called Meeting.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The possibility of government consolidation is at the forefront of discussions by County Commissioners.
Chairman Jeff Sinyard says a unified government has pros and cons, but ultimately, it's up to the voters. "They are the ones that are paying their taxes. They are the ones to me that are the owners of the city and the county, so whether you are for consolidation or not I think its up to the citizens to make that final decision."
But before the people get to vote, the city and the county first must agree on a consolidated charter. Monday the county agreed to a charter that calls for non-partisan local elections.
"Because we deal with specific local decisions and we have an administrative form of government, to have partisan ties can sometimes have a negative effect when you are trying to promote or move things forward," said Sinyard.
But Sinyard says one of the greatest concerns is the disparity of pay between city and county officials.
"There is a discrepancy on how much the employees are paid in terms of the amount. Its a very emotional and very personal issue. We, like any good business, have to be concerned with losing good folks so whether or not this process moves forward or the government stays the same as they are this is still going to be a major issue," said Sinyard.
The commission also voted that the position of the CEO will continue to be a part time position, not a full time job.
If the city and county governments agree on an charter, it will be submitted to the state House, where it would replace the original charter that was developed. If approved by the Legislature, it would be put before local voters.

Racing has itself a Rock Star.
He's California Chrome, who on Saturday started on the path of legends, winning the Santa Anita Derby in breathtaking fashion, overpowering seven rivals, including well-regarded stakes winners Hoppertunity and Candy Boy. He was all but eased up at the end of a mile and an eighth, floating home by 5 1/4 lengths under a nonchalant Victor Espinoza.
Call it Superman compared to Clark Kent.
It was bedlam in the winner's circle, replete with TV cameras, photographers, social media groupies, traditional media, autograph seekers and assorted hangers-on, but both horse and trainer survived the well-intentioned ordeal.
The national, yea, international, spotlight grows ever larger now as trainer Art Sherman prepares California Chrome for racing's biggest stage, the 140th Kentucky Derby on May 3.
Although off a bit slowly and crowded early, California Chrome battled longshot Dublin Up and second choice Candy Boy for the lead until the quarter pole, then took off like a Jet, exploding to finish "under a long hold late," according to Mike Schneider and Ken Davis of Equibase. His time for nine furlongs was 1:47.52, second-fastest in 77 runnings of the race.
"It was nice, huh," said Espinoza, basking among well-wishers at Clockers' Corner Sunday morning. "It's a great feeling to have a horse like him on a special day like yesterday. The horse is something else.
"When I was that far in front, I didn't want to use him up for the next race. I don't want to empty the tank yet."
"He came back great," said Alan Sherman, son of and assistant to Art and a trainer in his own right. "He ate up last night and he looks good this morning. He came back to Los Al last night and will do all his important training here before going to Kentucky.
"The plane leaves on the 28th (of April). He'll just school and gallop at Churchill Downs."
Now the countdown is on to Kentucky, where California Chrome will seek to become the first horse bred in the Golden State to win the Run for the Roses since Decidedly in 1962.
Meanwhile, the media, well-versed in dealing with the ABP's of racing, as in Asmussen, Baffert and Pletcher, will 24/7 beseech Sherman, a new face, figuratively speaking. At 77, the ex-jockey from Brooklyn might be long in the tooth, but he is an otherwise refreshing newcomer with a multitude of underdog storylines at a time when racing is sorely in want of same.
California Chrome has captured the hearts of the racing world, especially the little guy who performs his menial tasks daily with little or no fanfare.
"This shows you a good horse can come from anywhere," said Richard Baltas, one of countless unheralded trainers who make up the backbone of the industry and without whom the game could not go on.
"When you see guys with a small outfit who have the best horse, it's heartwarming and gratifying. I spoke to Art earlier this year and he was talking about retiring. Then, here comes the horse of a lifetime. It keeps you going, and it's a great story."
"I've been in the business going on three decades," said agent Brian Beach, who represents Espinoza, "and I've won a lot of big races. I don't get chills very often, but the Santa Anita Derby yesterday gave me chills halfway down the stretch. The whole grandstand was standing and applauding. You don't see that very often."
When it comes to miracles, the story of California Chrome is reaching for shelf space bordering on supernatural, right up there with Jets versus
Colts, Douglas versus Tyson, Miracle on 34th Street, the Miracle Mets, the Miracle on Ice, or any other miracle you want to name.
With great racing, the weather in a word, perfect, and an on-track crowd of 35,241 betting more than $4 million, Santa Anita Derby Day was a good day all around.
"Everything Santa Anita is doing is outstanding," said agent Brad Pegram, who represents Mike Smith and Martin Garcia, in an unsolicited statement.
"It's fun to be here now. It's a great atmosphere. There's a well-rounded crowd with families, not just fans. Santa Anita is doing a terrific job."
Jockey Chantal Sutherland Kruse won the jockeys' division of Santa Anita's 5K run yesterday in 22:34, edging Aaron Gryder, who finished in 22:40. They were followed by Alex Bisono (24:01), Joe Steiner (24.25) and Kayla Stra (29:13).
CARMA's Tessa Bisha led Santa Anita women employees with a time of 26:56, followed by Hospitality's Sandy Hoar (29.37), Racing's Christine Beer (31:44), HRTV's Andrea Evans (32:07), TOC's Mary Forney (32:30), CARMA's Lucinda Mandella (42:31), Executive's Denise DeAnda (47:20) and Operations' Voni Walker (58:51).
Tony Ortega of Operations topped the men with a time of 21:28, defeating defending champion Jesus Camacho (21:40) of Racing, followed by Chris Whitaker (22:26), Willie Rivera (22:38), Scott Hazelton (23:01) and Evan Schwartz (28.36), all of HRTV.
There were 5,383 in the field, the largest ever in the Santa Anita Derby Day 5K runs.

1. Planning for the Worst: Could Anything Have Helped in Haiti?
by Dennis Walikainen, senior editor
Last week's destruction in Haiti resulted from a huge earthquake near a susceptible population. The increased number of residents living in hazardous places around the world is the motivation behind a unique graduate program at Michigan Tech.
"We try to reduce vulnerability," says Bill Rose, professor of petrology and director of Tech's Peace Corps Master's International Program (PCMI) in Natural Hazards Mitigation. "We can tell people what may happen, and we can help save lives; we increase awareness and the ability for people to save themselves."
The three-year master's degree program includes a two-year field experience abroad, where communication is key.
Rose stresses the importance of talking to people in local schools and government agencies before natural disasters occur. In addition to earthquakes, student volunteers in the program address volcanoes, floods, landslides and droughts.
They can help by aiding in "community-level natural hazard education," according to John Lyons, currently a PhD candidate who participated in the PCMI program in Guatemala.
Although better known for its volcanic hazards, Guatemala is home to numerous earthquakes, says Lyons.
"They had no education or planning," Lyons recalls. "So we went through the basics with the teachers first, teaching them how earthquakes occur and what to do in the event of an earthquake. Then we taught their students about earthquakes and ran the schools' first earthquake drills."
Residents may also need to be taught what might seem obvious, Rose says. They can be taught that a river valley can become dangerous, so they should get out of the valley and into the hills instead of moving downstream. Or the not-so-obvious: in the case of a tsunami, if a wave goes out and exposes bare ground, head for the hills, too.
One major problem is that there are so many more-pressing issues in most countries, Lyons says, and earthquake or volcano education can be pushed aside. That is especially true in Haiti, Rose adds, where the people clamor for clean water and sanitation, better housing and healthcare.
"Hunger takes precedence," Lyons says.
But volunteers can teach "simple things" that students can do on their own, Lyons adds, such as "getting under desks or in doorframes instead of running down the hallway or pushing toward exits."
Lyons believes that the Peace Corps volunteers could also learn first aid and be trained as first responders.
"We could go into the disaster scene and give advanced first aid," he says, "or help with triage, organize searches and potentially help people get out of collapsed buildings."
Volunteers could take on the role of disaster response workers, in addition to their normal Peace Corps assignments. Previous talk on training and certification of volunteers as first responders has been cut short because of lack of funding, Lyons says.
"As a volunteer, there is a difference between identifying a problem or hazard and being able to address it, because the scale is so huge," he adds. "That's why it's important for all volunteers, whether they are from forestry or business or humanities, to get involved in some sort of hazard awareness and disaster preparedness."
Lyons spoke from experience about one common obstacle. Smaller earthquakes can occur more often, and the locals can become desensitized to them, as was the case in Guatemala when he was there--until they were hit with a 6.1 quake, albeit far from the epicenter.
"We were heading for the doorframes," he says, "and we were wondering if it would get bad."
It's hard to imagine any good coming out of anything as bad as the earthquake in Haiti. But Rose hopes it might.
"The disaster might lead to more earthquake engineering," says Rose, "where structures can be rebuilt to withstand quakes for another 100 years or more, and even if they receive some damage, they won't collapse like they did."
Rose says it is especially necessary to build better hospitals, schools and other places where people congregate. "It might cost a bit more, but it will be worth it."
Rose knows his subject. He's been involved in hazard communications for many years in Guatemala and elsewhere. And, although Tech's Peace Corps program has focused on Latin America, he envisions it expanding to Indonesia, too.
And he sees another potential outcome.
"The increase in populations in hazardous areas has changed the habits of geologists," he says. "We used to go out in the woods alone and come back weeks or years later with a load of rocks and a map, then stay in town just long enough to find the next spot in the woods that needed attention. Now we have to communicate with people long enough to be sure they understand. We call it social geology. We are much more connected, and the world needs it. It feels good."
He says the world also needs better communication about other earth science issues, such as global climate change.
"We are the ones who really study how the earth works," he says. "But we have been keeping it a secret."
Now, that is changing, and this ongoing global public education speaks volumes about the Peace Corps and Michigan Tech, as students and faculty communicate to help save lives.

2. The Best of the Best: 15 Years of APOD
Physics professor Robert Nemiroff gave the crowd gathered in the Rozsa Center one big wow-inspiring moment after another last Thursday as he reeled off his top picks of NASA's Best Space Images as they appeared on the NASA website he helped create and edits, the
Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)
His first picture series included five favorite APOD images created by NASA, including a shot of the first shuttle mission. Also on his NASA's-best list is the iconic Pillars of Creation image of stars forming in M16, the Eagle Nebula, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. As with all of the images, he provided a brief educational primer. The dense gas in the pillars is condensing to form stars, he explains, but adds, "They look like monsters. I think that's why they're so popular."

3. Fulbright Scholar Studies Immigrant Finns
by John Gagnon, promotional writer
Ulla Aatsinki, a Fulbright scholar from Tampere, Finland, feels right at home at Tech these days as she studies Finnish immigrants to Upper Michigan. She has traveled far and found the familiar.
She says these newcomers brought with them a frame of mind that they shared with their forbears in the homeland:
, a Finnish word for which there is no literal translation.
The general idea, Aatsinki says, is: "The work which is started will be finished, always." As well, she adds,
describes an able-bodied person: "Work hard, solve your problems alone, and dont ask for help."
Finnish emigrants carried this indomitable spirit around the world, including the Copper Country. Between 1880 and 1920, then, 87,000 Finns came to Michigan, most to the Upper Peninsula, where they sought more opportunity and left a decided cultural impression: saunas, Finnish street names, and restaurant fare like
This Finnish presence in Upper Michigan, concentrated on the iron range and the copper range, attracted Aatsinki to Michigan Tech. Working in the social sciences department, she is studying how Finnish immigrants fared here. To do so, she is poring over newspapers and documents at the Michigan Tech Archives and the oral histories at the Finnish American Heritage Center at Finlandia University.
Originally from Finland's Lapland region, Aatsinki studied history at the University of Oulu and the University of Tampere. Her PhD focused on political radicalism in northern Finland, where the people were poor and restive.
She is here to study Finnish immigration from the 1900s to the 1920s. She is especially interested in how Finnish American children integrated into American society and in "the values and attitudes that ordinary people had."
In the Old Country, many Finns were active in temperance and labor movements. "They continued that activity here," Aatsinki says. "They were active in cooperatives and strikes and other popular movements."
But not uniformly so, for there were what she describes as "Church Finns" and "Red Finns"--one conservative, one radical. In both Finland and America, she says, the leftist Finns encountered resistance, and many were "blacklisted as troublemakers."
Besides transplanting political proclivities to America, immigrant Finns welcomed their adopted land and especially valued what they didn't have at home: a livelihood for themselves and schooling for their children.
These opportunities shaped their new lives, where work, family, and ethnic ties were equally compelling. Aatsinki says, "It'll be interesting to find out what kind of life they found, how they were treated in a new country, and how they were integrated into a new society."
Aatsinki says her inquiry will amount to "a description of the social and cultural heritage of two countries." She adds, "I would like to compare the differences and similarities."
Another common thread: Finns in America had a reputation for working hard (newspaper ads specifically sought Finns for hire). And they were known for making do. Thus, one oral history at Finlandia describes how the poor old immigrant women brushed out the flower barrel with a bird's wing.
"They came here because they were poor," Aatsinki says of these resilient masses. "Emigration was a common solution for Finnish people to get a better life."

6. Reminder: DiversiTea Begins Jan. 20
The first DiversiTea of 2010 will be held from 4 to 5 p.m., today, in the Memorial Union Alumni Lounge.
The session is titled "Class and Privilege Among Students." Bill Kennedy, director of the Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development, will discuss how class and privilege impact the policies, practices and relationships that shape our lives.
DiversiTeas were instituted in the fall of 2008 after a campus survey indicated such opportunity for social dialogue would be welcome. They blend the interchange of ideas and the enjoyment of refreshments and teas from around the world. The monthly event will continue until April and is open to the public.
Diversity is one of Michigan Tech's strategic goals--that is, a community of scholars whose intellectual, social and professional development is enriched by the diversity of our students, faculty and staff.
7. Biomedical Engineering Seminar

Well, first let me tell you that my Verizon went out and I missed the first 10 minutes of the game. This recap will start from the 9 minute mark of the 1st half.
When I turned the TV on, the score was 15-15 and I expected a tight game. Boy was I wrong. SHU played consistent in the 1st half, with great defense and timely offense from Herb Pope and Patrik Auda. However, they were up by I think 6 with about 5 minutes left in the 1st half when Patrik Auda caught a pass about 30 feet away and made a rip threw move, while hitting a VCU defender in the face with his elbow. He was called for a Flagrant 2 and was ejected. Under Bobby Gonzalez, SHU would have unraveled. However, they just kept sticking with the strategy, which was feed Pope, defend, and try and get transition points. They built a lead of 29 to 22 at half time. VCU came out guns blazing in the 2nd half but SHU answered every time VCU tried to make a run. They held a double digit lead almost the entire 2nd half and cruised there way to a 69 to 54 victory. After the jump, see some thoughts on the game and some final stats.
- Herb Pope is a beast. He grabbed 11 Rebounds in the first 13 minutes of the game and just dominated the VCU big men in the paint. However, he MUST stop shooting 3′s. They are just a waste of a possession. He was 0-4 on the night from distance.
- Jordan Theodore is a beast. He had a quiet start to the game but routinely drew fouls far from the basket and finished the night 12-12 from the FT line.
- The teams performance from the FT line was light years better than on opening night. The team finished 21-25 from the stripe and I don't think they missed one in the 2nd half.
- Fuquan Edwin looks much more confident on his jumper this year. He knocked down 4 open threes and stepped into them with rhythm He was the only player on the team to hit a 3 and we are going to need that from him until Auda, JT, Cosby, and Karlis start making their 3′s.
- One thing we have struggled on this year has been defending inbounds plays from under the basket. VCU scored on those plays at least twice. Kevin Willard should work on that in practice next week.
- This team can't afford a big man to foul out (or get ejected). They only have 3 men capable of playing the 4/5 (Pope, Geramipoor, Auda). Hopefully they get freshman Brandon Mobley back before Big East play because they will need him.
- Herb Pope: 20 Pts, 13 REB (6 OFF), 1AST

Having blossomed into a professional theater company, Theatre Horizon provides opportunities to aspiring directors, actors, producers, and designers during a schedule of year-round productions, including seasonal shows that celebrate the spirit of the holidays. This December, the company provides an escape from blustery winds and pickpocketing snowmen with Voices of Christmas, which spotlights the works of song-crafting legends such as John Lennon, Patty Griffin, Ingrid Michaelson, and others. During each performance, some of Philadelphia's top talents assemble inside the intimate theater to tickle ears with musical nostalgia more comforting than a hug from a giant squid. As an added bonus, the December 11 show includes a post-performance Q & A session, affording guests the chance to stay and chat with the cast and creative team.
Certified boxing coach Alden Washington was born into a family of boxers. His father, in between teaching boxing classes in the US Army and Navy, began coaching him in the pugilistic arts at the age of 10. Alden took to the sport, winning boxing titles in Silver and Golden Gloves competitions, all while earning his black belt in bando, Chinese kenpo, and tae kwon do. In 1980, the consummate athlete began coaching students, conducting classes in kickboxing as well as sprinting and sports conditioning.
At Washington Boxing Academy, Alden combines his extensive title-taking and teaching experience to conduct kickboxing classes for all ages. Amid the professional heavy bags and cushioned floors of his studio, the certified coach infuses kickboxing routines with rounds of creative exercises, including jumping rope, shadowboxing while holding weights, and slamming massive tires with hammers. In personal sessions, he spurs on advanced boxers as they spar in the studio's full-size boxing ring. He also provides students with fundamental self-defense tips, such as how to a catch an oncoming fist mid-punch or halt a flung pie midair.
At Valley Forge Dance students learn dance techniques and skills during classes and workshops—but they'll also benefit from the extensive dance experience of owner Maria Jacobs. A lifelong dancer, Jacobs has performed in The Nutcracker more than 60 times and studied dance in London, Denmark, and Russia. At her interactive school, she leads fledgling ballerinas, tap dancers, and non-destructive break dancers through dynamic classes, helping them build confidence, strength, and agility.

Activists trying to save animals at testing facility in Chandler
CHANDER, AZ - A controversial animal testing facility in Chandler is closing its doors .
Covance announced plans May 2 to shut down their laboratory that's been open since 2009.
"Animal advocates across the country are cautiously pleased that the Covance facility is shutting down," said animal rights activist Cathy Lasusa.
The company announced restructuring in their first quarter reports, which includes shutting down the Chandler facility, saving $20 million a year.
While cutting costs was Covance's top priority, activists say their concern now is what will happen to the hundreds of animals tested at the laboratory.
In situations like this, animals are either killed, sold to other laboratories, or transferred to other Covance facilities to be tested.
"We want to make sure the animals at the Chandler facility know what it's like to be an animal," said Lasusa.
Activists said they plan to reach out to Covance this week to talk about saving the animals tested at the facility.
ABC15 reached out to Covance for a response, but they have yet to return our calls.

Fellow Wagerers,I need to apologize upfront as this week's post is going to be brief. My wife and I are in the middle of moving into our new house and typing on a borrowed laptop. Bear with me...this is gonna be brief. Let's recap last week's picks (quick preview..:they were lousy!)
ATL-3.5*: (W) New Orleans may be picking up a bit from their disappointing start, but this was a no brainer.
CHI-4**: (L) Seattle has found many ways to kick me in the butt this year!
SF-7.5**: (L) WTF!!! It went to overtime! Good news is St. Louis is probably spent and they have to travel to Buffalo this weekend!
JAX@BUF OVER 45***:(W)Big win and cover for the Bills.
NYG-3***:(L)Ugh...lucky win for Washington
Week: 2-3-0. Season: 41-32-2.
Can't type out lines, but find them here: http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/odds
My picks (beware of teams that have clinched already):
SD@PIT-8 PIT-8: Pittsburgh needs to stay in it and Big Ben comes back this week. SD is eliminated, wants to play spoiler, but it won't happen in the Burgh.
CHI@MIN+3 CHI-3: Same as above...Chicago needs this one to keep in play with GB. Percy Harvin on IR is a huge blow to Minny.
STL@BUF O/U 42.5 OVER 42.5: Same as last week, except injuries make this defense worse. Look for big points in this shootout.
DAL@CIN-3 DAL+3: Look for Dallas to play spoiler here and make it tough for Cinci in a very crowded race for the wildcard spots.
MIA@SF-10 MIA+10: Miami may not be good, but they aren't getting blown out here.
What do you like this weekend?

Federal appellate court upholds $200,000 jury verdict against Florida district for student-on-student sexual harassment
Mathis v. Wayne County Bd. of Educ., No. 11-5979 (6th Cir. Aug. 23, 2012)
Abstract: A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (KY, MI, OH, TN) has upheld a jury verdict for $200,000 for the parents of two male middle school students who were sexually harassed by their basketball teammates in the school's locker room, affirming the district court's denial of the school board's renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law.
Having reviewed the evidence, the panel rejected WBOE's allegation and agreed with the district court that there was ample evidence before the jury from which reasonable jurors could have concluded that WBOE's response constituted "deliberate indifference" under Title IX, and was insufficient to provide a safe environment in this student-on-student sexual harassment case.
Facts/Issues: In the fall of 2008, the Plaintiffs' sons, John and James Doe, then 7th graders at Waynesboro Middle School (WMS), had made the boys' basketball team. From the beginning of that season, players would roughhouse in the locker room, which often involved the 8th grade boys ganging up on the 7th graders. At the start of the season, a number of 8th graders subjected John and James, as well as other team members, to a game of "lights out," which involved turning off all the lights in the locker room, and then "humping and gyrating" on the 7th graders. The 8th graders also played a game called the "blind-folded sit-up." The prank entailed convincing James that it was impossible to do a sit-up blind-folded, so that when James came to the end of the sit-up, one of the 8th graders had placed his naked buttocks in front of James, which he hit with his blind-folded face.
On October 22 or 24, 2008, the pranks grew more aggressive when a number of 8th graders on the team grabbed John, forced him to the ground, pulled his pants down, and subjected him to a situation involving penetration of a body cavity with a marker. John did not initially report this incident to his parents or the school because he felt threatened by the 8th graders. On October 26th, Coach David Sisk learned of the "marker incident" from his step-daughter, who was also a WMS student and had heard rumors of the incident at school. Sisk spent the next few days trying to determine the accuracy of the report, but did not report the allegations to WMS Principal Ryan Keaton, John's parents, or anyone else.
After learning of the marker incident from her son on October 29th, Plaintiff Shawnee Mathis met with Keaton to report the incident. Keaton took the report, but informed Mathis that he could not take any formal disciplinary actions until the Director of Schools, Wanda Johnston, returned from out of town. Keaton did cancel basketball practice for October 30th and 31st. When Johnston returned on October 31st, she met with Keaton, Mathis, and other school officials, and determined that there was sufficient evidence supporting John's allegation to justify suspending the perpetrators from school for ten days. The students' suspensions began on November 3rd, they were placed in an alternative school, and suspended from the basketball team.
On November 4th, after learning from her son James of the blind-folded sit-up and "lights out" incidents, Tammy McGuire, along with another parent, met with Keaton to discuss their concerns of locker room misconduct. McGuire asserted that Keaton was not "overly concerned" about these incidents and viewed them as just a bad prank. Keaton did punish this conduct months later through a verbal reprimand, but made no indication to McGuire that he would investigate this conduct.
From November 4th through 7th, John and James were harassed at school, including students repeatedly making comments about John's sexuality, after learning about the marker incident. The harassment escalated to the point where McGuire removed James from WMS on November 7th, concerned for her son's safety in light of the perceived lack of action from the district. McGuire and two other parents met with school officials to discuss the locker room incidents. WMS also issued Sisk a written reprimand for failing to report the marker incident.
On November 17th, the Disciplinary Hearing Authority (DHA), a committee comprised of high ranking school officials, met to discuss the marker incident, voting to add one day of suspension to the marker incident perpetrators and to reinstate them to the basketball team on January 1, 2009. The suspended students appealed the decision to the Wayne County Board of Education (WBOE), which changed the reinstatement date back to December 1, 2008. After this decision, Mathis removed John from WMS.
On July 14, 2009, Mathis and McGuire, on behalf of their sons, filed suit in federal court alleging that their sons were subjected to student-on-student sexual harassment. By the time the case went to trial, the only remaining claim was a Title IX count against WBOE. At the close of the Parents' case, WBOE moved for judgment as a matter of law, which was denied. WBOE renewed its motion at the close of all evidence, but the motion was again denied. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found in favor of the Parents and awarded $100,000 each in damages. WBOE then renewed its motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, a motion for a new trial. The district court denied both motions. WBOE appealed, seeking to set aside the jury verdict.
Ruling/Rationale: The three-judge panel affirmed the district court's denial of WBOE's renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, upholding the jury's damages award of $200,000 for the two plaintiff students. The panel found that WBOE could not meet the high standard that WBOE had to "show that the evidence in favor of its position was so overwhelming that reasonable jurors could not have found for Mathis and McGuire."
Under Title IX, the panel stated that a plaintiff claiming student-on-student sexual harassment must establish that (1) the sexual harassment was so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it could be said to deprive the plaintiff of access to the educational opportunities or benefits provided by the school; (2) the board had actual knowledge of the sexual harassment, and (3) the board was deliberately indifferent to the harassment.
WBOE's renewed motion alleged that Mathis and McGuire failed to produce sufficient evidence of "deliberate indifference" following actual notice. The panel stated that a showing of "deliberate indifference" requires Mathis and McGuire to prove that WBOE's response to the harassment is clearly unreasonable in light of the known circumstances. Specifically, WBOE alleges that Mathis and McGuire failed to present evidence at trial that any sexual harassment occurred after WBOE had actual notice and, because the harassment stopped, the Plaintiffs could not demonstrate the WBOE's response was clearly unreasonable.
The panel rejected WBOE's allegation, and agreed with the district court that "there was ample evidence before the jury from which reasonable jurors could have concluded that WBOE's response constituted deliberate indifference." The panel stated that the jury could also have reasonably viewed the evidence of the marker incident as a serious incident of sexual assault, which requires a punishment more severe than an eleven-day suspension from WMS and a month-long suspension from the basketball team. The panel also agreed with the district court that "the jury could have reasonably concluded that any decision that returned the alleged perpetrators to the basketball team was clearly unreasonable, given that John Doe would be subjected to interacting with these boys in close quarters on a daily basis …." Given the evidence at trial, therefore, the jury's conclusion that WBOE acted with deliberate indifference as to John could reasonably have been reached.
As for James, the panel found the testimony at trial suggested that WBOE took little to no immediate action to protect James from, nor substantively investigate, the two forms of harassment he endured, and that school officials concentrated their investigation on the marker incident, not the continuing behavior that affected James. The panel found the jury could have reasonably concluded that WBOE's remedial steps were insufficient to provide James a safe environment. As such, WBOE's renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law cannot prevail.

In taking at least six Gloucester families to small claims court, the city's School Committee is taking a hard line in its effort to recoup some of the $60,000 the city is essentially owed for school lunches — just as it should.
Yes, many Gloucester schoolchildren are eligible for free lunches and breakfasts; those are provided, and they should be.
But for those families who are not eligible for the free programs, the city's school district is certainly within its rights to collect for those meals, as is now trying to do just that. In fact, it's the School Committee's responsibility to taxpayers that it do so.
The issue surfaced earlier this week during a review of the School Committee's fiscal 2014 budget before the City Council's Budget and Finance subcommittee. The $60,000 figure refers to the amount never collected for lunches over the past two years, but $40,000 of that has come in the current school year, on top of $20,000 still owed from the fiscal 2012. And that suggests the problem may be getting worse.
Indeed, the six families who have been issued summons to small claims court each owe $250 apiece — and that's nothing to sneeze at when it comes to shortchanging the city and its schools on revenues that, if not recovered, will have to be accounted for elsewhere in the school's spending plan.
At its core, the issue of nonpayment for school lunches is no different than someone shortchanging the city — and thus other taxpayers, who would make up the difference – on property taxes, water or sewer rates or any other municipal charges.
Under the public schools lunch program launched two years ago, parents can pay their students' lunch bills by logging onto a website, identifying their child, and electing to pay via credit card or check on the site. A parent or guardian can also add money to a student's account before the student buys lunch. Then, at lunchtime, the students swipe their ID cards, like a credit or debit card, to either pay for their meals from an existing balance or create a balance to be paid.
The point is, these cannot be cases of parents giving their kids daily lunch money, and the students either losing it or using it for another purpose. It's simply a matter of not paying a bill — and the School Committee is right to do all it can to collect it.
That's not taking a hard line; it's taking the only practical line, and being accountable to city taxpayers.
