Editor's Note: Here is Carl Peelash's first look the Toronto Maple Leafs' prospects in the Canadian Hockey League.
Another CHL regular season has come to an end, so it's time to recap the performances of Leafs prospects in the
three two leagues within the CHL umbrella. Fun fact: the Leafs have no prospects playing in the WHL. Interesting, when you consider that the Dub is known for its tough, physical play, and that Burke is a fan of that style. We'll also look at the upcoming playoff matchups that our kids will play in, because contrary to popular believe, you don't lose that privilege when you're drafted by the Leafs. First, to the OHL.
Nazem Kadri, C, London Knights – 1st round, 7th overall in 2009
Kadri, as expected, ripped up the OHL this season. His 93 points in 56 games placed him in a tie for 4th in scoring, and one can assume that if he'd played those games that he missed for the World Juniors, he could have come away with the scoring title. There's no doubt that this kid is our top prospect; he even made his NHL debut this season against the Sharks (which I was lucky enough to be in attendance for) on an emergency call-up. Kadri will lead the Knights against Guelph in the first round, in a 2v7 matchup. London finished 27 points ahead of the Storm in the regular season, and shouldn't have a problem advancing.
Kenny Ryan, RW, Windsor Spitfires – 2nd round, 50th overall in 2009
Ryan joined the Spits after leaving Boston College early in the season, but the 18-year old hasn't been a huge factor in Windsor. He's registered 35 points in 52 games on one of the most talented, and deep, teams in the league. He's stuck behind players like Greg Nemisz, Zack Kassian, and fellow Leafs prospect Dale Mitchell on the right wing depth chart. His role should expand next season, though, when some of those players go pro, and particularly if Taylor Hall joins the Leafs after they select him high in the entry draft. Err... Windsor plays Erie first round, and you can count on a deep playoff run from them.
Jesse Blacker, D, Owen Sound Attack – 2nd round, 58th overall in 2009
Blacker was flipped to Owen Sound early this season after demanding a trade from Windsor. He was caught in a numbers game; wanting to eat big minutes doesn't fly on a team whose blueline sports Cam Fowler and Ryan Ellis. He has a penchant for the offensive side of the game, putting up 33 points in 57 games between the Spitfires and Attack. As a result of the trade, he finds himself outside the playoff picture. Just call him Bizarro-Kaberle.
Jamie Devane, LW, Plymouth Whalers – 3rd round, 68th overall in 2009
Devane's offensive prowess is not his calling card for the Whalers, as his 14 points in 51 games would indicate. The 6'5, 210-pounder is a scrapper, taking part in eight dances this season according to hockeyfights.com. For additional viewing, Devane and another pugilist in the Leafs system, Richard Greenop, show that the Leafs' future is solid in the truculence department. Devane can be found defending Tyler Seguin's honour in the first round against Sault Ste. Marie.
Dale Mitchell, RW, Windsor Spitfires – 3rd round, 74th overall in 2007
Mitchell started the season with the Marlies, but was shortly sent back to Windsor to play out his overage year. He's had quite a season, too: 43 points in 32 games since returning. The soon-to-be 21-year old should be a factor in the playoffs again this year. He picked up 14 goals and 29 points in 20 games in last year's OHL playoffs, to go with 5 goals in 6 games en route to a Memorial Cup victory. We can only hope the porn 'stache makes a return, too.
Now on to the QMJHL...
Philippe Paradis, LW, Shawinigan Cataractes – 1st round, 27th overall in 2009 (CAR)
Paradis seems to be a bit of a forgotten man in the Leafs system. He was acquired from Carolina for Jiri Tlusty earlier in the season, and while not an offensive dynamo, he has upside. He managed 44 points in 63 games, including 24 goals, but his physical dominance is what defines his game. He's listed at 6'2, 204 pounds on the Q website, but he plays like he has an extra 20 lbs on his frame. When he was traded to the Leafs, I was disappointed that he wouldn't be in Halifax to play the Mooseheads again this season, until I realized there was a cancelled game that had yet to be played. Who said swine flu never did anything good? Paradis is a beast on the boards and in front of the net. He really knows how to use his size to protect the puck and get in position. His skating needs work, but he seems destined for at least a third line role, with a power forward playing style. He's not afraid to throw his weight around, either, finishing 4th among Q forwards with 166 hits. One more interesting stat: his 8 GWG put him in a tie for 4th place in the league, meaning that one in every three of his goals is a game-winner. You can see why Burke wanted this guy. Shawinigan plays Victoriaville in the first round.
Mikhail Stefanovich, RW, Quebec Remparts – 4th round, 98th overall in 2008
Maddeningly inconsistent, Mikhail "Grabovski" Stefanovich didn't do a whole lot this season to silence his critics. His 68 points in 53 games is solid enough, but nothing outstanding from a kid who scored 66 in 62 in his rookie year, and 76 in 56 last season. The distribution of his points is what boggles the mind even further; last season, he put up a whopping 49 goals, nearly a goal per game. This year it was like his playing style totally flipped, with only 25 goals. His rookie year saw him score only two fewer goals than assists. You can understand why there are concerns that he'll never pan out. He was sent back to Quebec in a shocking move, as he could have spent this season with the Marlies. He didn't excel as a 20-year old playing junior, so it will be interesting to see where his career goes from here. His ceiling is sky high, and if he puts it all together he could be a huge steal in the 4th round, but it's not looking so great right now for those things to happen. Quebec should have an easy first round series against Acadie-Bathurst.
Joel Champagne, C, Victoriaville Tigres – 5th round, 129th overall in 2008
This kid is looking more and more like a gem with every game he plays. After a mid-season trade from PEI, he ended up with 79 points in 65 games, which puts him in a tie for 11th place in the Q. While he had a great and somewhat surprising offensive campaign this year, it's not likely to be where his future lies. Champagne has all the tools to become a great third line centerman. He has great size, standing at 6'4 and 220 pounds, but his faceoff skills are what could really propel him to an NHL job. He took 1,579 draws this season, 4th most in the QMJHL, and won 58.5% of them. Throw in 70 hits and you've got the recipe for a solid shutdown guy. Not bad for a 5th round pick. He'll play against Paradis and the Cataractes in the first round.
Chris DiDomenico, LW, Drummondville Voltigeurs – 6th round, 164th overall in 2007
DiDomenico's story over the last year and a half has been an incredible one. He played a big role in Canada's 2009 World Junior gold medal, and went to Drummondville from Saint John in a mid-season trade. He had an incredible post-season, racking up 35 points in just 15 games en route to the Q-League finals. It was that series where he collided with another player and crashed into the end boards, breaking his femur. He missed the Memorial Cup as a result. That was May 5th. DiDomenico was sent back to the Q after training camp for his overage year, despite being eligible to play with the Marlies, so he could ease back into competition when he returned. While the competition may have been easier, DiDomenico certainly did not relax, as he blistered the opposition for 22 points in 12 games after returning to action on February 17th, more than 9 months after his injury. The addition of DiDomenico to Drummondville's lineup could push them over the top, as they roll into the playoffs as the Q's hottest team, complete with a 16-game winning streak. They've averaged nearly 6 goals per game since DiDomenico returned, and could easily capture a second straight President's Cup despite Saint John being the top dogs most of the season. In related news, DiDo seems well on his way to being a fan favourite. The Voltigeurs play Lewiston first round.
And that's a wrap. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm more of a QMJHL guy than anything. Now that I've made my return to Cape Breton on a full-time basis, I'll likely attend some Eagles playoff games. If they manage to take down Moncton in the first round and match up against a team with a Leafs prospect, I might be able to offer some more insight.
I hope to keep doing these updates on a weekly basis. Now that the season review/playoff preview is out of the way, I'll keep them shorter than Jason Blake's average shift length, relatively speaking, from now on. Until next time, you can follow me on Twitter if you just can't wait a week for your DiDo fix.

Chely Wright Marries Girlfriend in Connecticut
Country singer Chely Wright has married her girlfriend just a year after coming out, People reported. The 40-year-old star married Lauren Blitzer at Blitzer's aunt's Connecticut home with 200 guests and two white gowns.
The ceremony was presided over by both a reverend and a rabbi, reflecting Wright's Christianity and Blitzer's Judaism. Neither wore traditional veils because, according to Wright, they "like [their] hair too much."
Access Hollywood reported that the marriage was a monumental event in country music, as Wright is one of the first openly gay singers in the genre.
Wright came out in 2010 after years of keeping silent and trying to "pray it away," the artist told Access Hollywood in an interview.
"Early in my life, I went through what I think a lot of gay people go through, thinking that I could change and pray it away," Wright said.
She discussed her relationship with fellow country music star Brad Paisley, who was not aware she was gay. It was this relationship that helped spur her to come out, she said.
"When I realized he was wanting forever with me…I could see the damage I was doing to him, and I cut him off completely, cold turkey," she said.
Her wedding is the end to a long struggle that even included suicidal thoughts in 2006. Now, Wright is a happily married woman.

The New England Revolution are in some big time trouble on the road as they are now down 2-0 going into the half against Chivas USA. Nick LaBrocca put Chivas USA up early after a nice header off a Ben Zamenski cross. But just before the half was over Chivas was at it again with what could easily be the best goal of the week. Alejandro Morano found some space on the endline and sent a great ball into the box where Marcos Mondaini finished a nifty acrobatic kick to put home the game's second goal.
The goal was Mondaini's first of the year and easily the best goal any Chivas player has scored this season.
Chivas USA dominated the half from start to finish too. Never once did Robin Fraser's club let the lead go to their heads in the first half as they maintained quality possession throughout the half. Morano, Mondaini and company where knocking at the door a few times in this one and could easily have a three goal lead here.
New England had a couple chances early on in the game but after going down a goal they haven't put a lot of pressure on Chivas offensively. Instead they are finding themselves in card trouble yet again with both Shalrie Joseph and Franco Coria picking up yellow cards in the first half.
Steve Nicol will have to find a way to get some life back in his offense here as Chivas has done a great job shutting down the passing lanes for the Revolution.

A public square in the centre of Cape Town's Foreshore, Pier Place has recently been upgraded at a cost of R2-million. The Foreshore, an area of Cape Town reclaimed from the sea has always been an area of the city that was off limits to all but those who worked in the uninspiring office blocks in the area.
That has changed in recent years with the development of a number of hotels, restaurants and cafes in and around this square, close to Cape Town's Convention Centre. The square has been re-surfaced and a number of elegant benches and life-like statues by artist Egon Tania have been placed there. The statues depict normal people going about their everyday life (talking on a cell phone, reading the newspaper or a child playing in the sand), thus reclaiming the square for the use of all Capetonians.
The square's anchor tenant is Vodacom which occupies most of the Pier Place building, which was designed fifteen years ago by architect Louis Karol. From an outdoor table at the Pier Café , the view across the square to the Heerengracht, Cape Town's palm tree lined boulevard with Table Mountain in the background is both relaxing and majestic.

To Get Ready For The Future,You Must Learn From The Past
One of the primary forces at work in the fire service today is the movement toward embracing change. We are all being asked to reveal what it is about us that prejudices us in favor of the status quo, what it is that causes us to fight change. This is...

Complete the registration form.
While our times are more complicated, the theory remains the same. We get up, we go to work and we do our job. Who knows what they will call us in the centuries to come? Because of this continuum-style approach to time, I want to introduce a slightly different approach to change and the management of change. I want to stress a new combination approach to managing change within your fire departments; one geared to challenging conventional change wisdom.
Let me assure you that many things will continue to change. This is a given and shame on you if you can't accept that. However, I am urging you to prepare yourself and your fire department for those changes. That is what being a change agent is all about. Accepting change and preparing for change go hand in hand.
I want you to get ready for what is coming, for to do so is critical to the success of your fire department. However, I want you to do it while maintaining contact with some good old-fashioned values. It is at this point where my ideas begin to diverge from the standard management song sheet.
Many of my thoughts and beliefs run counter to the traditional management theorists. It is my ardent belief that anything new you plan for your fire department will have little merit if you choose to ignore the basic human values that made America great. To succeed in the future we must have a firm grasp of the present. And we must never forget the greatness of the past.
Sounds like a contradiction in terms, doesn't it? Heading off into the future with one foot firmly planted in the past; characteristic of some real muddled musings, to say the least.
Regardless of the approach you choose for running your fire department, it is my firm conviction that you must always remember those basic values which have helped to weave the fabric of our lives as Americans. These values are crucial to any way of doing things, even in those cases where a radical change is needed. No good idea, new or old can occur in a vacuum. Our societal beliefs and principles exercise a strong influence on whatever we choose to do.
No matter how much you want to change your organization to meet the time of chaos which lies right out ahead of us; there are some societal givens. These are things which you as firefighters, sworn to protect the public, can never forget.
Many of these values, traits and beliefs are really quite emotional in nature. Let's take a look at them:
- Strength
- Sacrifice
- Duty
- Dedication
- Loyalty
- Honor
- Pride in an honorable task
- A love of God
Never be ashamed to express any of these emotions. In many instances, these are the only things that can keep you going in a world driven by:
- Planning
- Organizing
- Directing
- Coordinating
- Controlling
- Managing by objectives
- Missions, goals and objectives
This whole business of change is highly offensive to my traditional English heritage. I continue to believe in such archaic traditions as fair play, hard work and waiting your turn in line. We cannot, however, move inward to a world of our own. What I'm suggesting is a personal and organizational approach to the future which will allow for perpetuating the characteristics listed earlier:
- Strength
- Sacrifice
- Duty
- Dedication
- Loyalty
- Honor
- Pride in an honorable task
- A love of God
We have witnessed each of these at work, at one time or another. Whether it was the resolve to move an attack line into the third floor of a burning tenement or the decision to stop the fire at the corner, it took strength and resolve to get the job done. It might have been the fire chief who refused to cut his department in the face of pressure from the mayor. Or it could have been the union leader who sat down with the mayor in his community to work out a compromise to save firefighters' jobs.
And what greater demonstration of dedication and loyalty can we find than the firefighter who will not leave an injured buddy. We owe a duty, one to another. If ours is an organization that will succeed in the future, we must remain a team dedicated to one another.
This may seem like a lot to ask of the "Me Generation" or "Generation X" but ask it we must. Just as brave men suffered at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Normandy and Hamburger Hill, so must we know that sacrifices are necessary for our team. If you are the leader, you must remain dedicated to your people. Labor on their behalf and work for their betterment. Set high standards for yourself, and your people will seek to emulate you.

I was young once, too, and rode too fast too often, taking risks that not only could have, but should have ended me.
Anyone who straddled a crotch rocket when they were young knows they were lucky: openly lucky to have had the thrill of the experience and secretly lucky to have survived.
RIP, pal. I'm sorry you died, but I know how you felt before you lost it and why you were riding the edge.

Very nicely said Mike!!

The name was released already a few hours after it happened.

Was that really Mick Jagger delivering the Top Ten on Letterman last night or was it some old lesbian named Doris Goldblatt? I'm so confused! (Watch the clip and you'll know what I'm referencing.)
ANYWAY, watching Mick Jagger do his Mick Jagger thing with Letterman's Top Ten got me to thinking: wouldn't he make a much better fill-in for Kurt Cobain than Paul McCartney at a Nirvana reunion show? Yes, yes he would. Just saying. And yes, I know Cobain a huge Beatles fan. I don't care.
I want more like this!

Option 1: Keep the Candy Out of the HouseIn many ways, this is preferable, but if you have kids, you'll have to figure out about their trick-or-treat candy. One possibility is to throw a Halloween party where you can control the menu, and limit the amount of candy that will be hanging around the house for days or weeks. Be sure to include some fun Halloween-themed but non-food treats such as slime.
Trick or Treat!But what about those trick-or-treaters? Don't you have to have some candy? And if so, will you be able to resist temptation? Here are some ideas to make it easier:
- Don't participate. Be a fuddy-duddy and go out for the evening or turn out the lights.
- Give out healthy treats such as packages of nuts, or non-food treats.
- If you're going to give out candy, don't buy it until Halloween afternoon. No use having it hang around the house.
- Give out candy you personally don't like or are allergic to.
- If you're going to give out candy, check out this list to see the calories and carbs in "fun size" candy.
- At the end of the evening, bag up the candy, seal the bag, and take it out to the trunk of your car. The next morning, take it somewhere you won't have access to it -- your hairdressers, a part of your workplace where you don't often go, or to someone you know will appreciate it. Or donate it to a shelter, if you can do it that day.
What About Sugar-Free Candy?The problem with most sugar-free candy is that most of them have problem ingredients. The worst offender is maltitol -- a sugar alcohol with 75% of the blood sugar impact of sugar, as well as 75% of the sweetness, so you end up with something that is just as bad as sugar. More about maltitol. However, if you look you can sometimes find candy that has fewer problem ingredients. ChocoPerfection bars are an example.
Homemade Low-Carb TreatsEven better, make your own Halloween treats, so you can control the ingredients. Note that for chocolate recipes, I usually include some erythritol. This is a sugar alcohol with almost no glycemic impact in most people. I find that when cooking with unsweetened chocolate, adding a sugar-alcohol really improves the result. More about cooking with unsweetened chocolate.

Most people have heard that using a High-Definition Multimedia Interface cable is better than using a Video Graphics Array cable, even if they don't know what the difference is exactly. VGA has been around for decades and is perfectly suited for transmitting video up to the point of needing high definition. Because of the way VGA technology works, it simply isn't capable of giving you the crisp images most people have come to expect from high-definition TVs and monitors and that are obtainable with an HDMI cable. However, if the images or video being transmitted is not in high-definition resolution, there is little difference in image quality using VGA.
Comparing HDMI to VGA
HDMI is the current leading standard when connecting high-definition equipment. This isn't just limited to TVs and computers. HDMI is used in cameras and camcorders, tablets, game consoles, smartphones and other similar electronics. In 2012, more than 1,200 leading electronics manufacturers shipped over 1 billion HDMI-enabled devices. HDMI technology is able to send digital signals at very high speeds, resulting in nearly flawless images. VGA is much older and has been an industry standard in the computer industry since the 1990s. It uses analog technology over three sets of wires -- red, green and blue -- to determine what appears on the monitor.
Why Digital Is Better
The basic difference between VGA and HDMI technology, is that VGA is an analog technology and HDMI is digital. Analog signals are like a series of waves, while digital signals are essentially a series of zeros and ones. When a computer sends video through a VGA cable to an LCD monitor, it converts the computer's digital language to an analog language and then the monitor converts it back to digital again. So there should be no surprise that there is some degradation when the signal is being translated twice. In addition to this, analog cables can add distortion to the signal, if they are too long or improperly shielded.
Don't Forget the Audio
High-definition images and video isn't the only benefit of HDMI technology. Unlike VGA, HDMI can transmit high-quality audio through the HDMI port. If you are connecting a computer or other device for streaming movies to a TV with a VGA cable, you need to connect additional cables from the computer's sound card to the audio jacks on the TV. Without those cables, you are limited to using the computer speakers for audio. This is a major reason why more and more electronics manufacturers are incorporating HDMI into multimedia devices rather than using only Digital Video Interface, which also does not transmit audio.
VGA to HDMI Converters
If you have an HDTV without a VGA port, you can still hook up VGA equipment such as a computer to it using a VGA to HDMI converter. VGA-to-HDMI converters like those made by Startech support up to 1080p high-definition video and have the added benefit of including an audio connector, meaning you can stream the sound of a video or game directly to your HDTV as well. Inexpensive cables claiming to convert VGA to HDMI should be viewed with skepticism. Your TV needs something to convert the analog VGA signals before the digital HDMI port can use them.

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. - High level clouds and boats too close to the launch pad made NASA Wallops scrub Monday's rocket launch.
The project, which is called the Daytime Dynamo experiment is designed to study a global electrical current called the dynamo in the ionosphere. NASA Wallops officials say the project will launch two rockets, a Black Brant V and a Terrier-Improved
Orion. Both will launch 15-seconds apart in support of the Daytime Dynamo
experiment, which is a joint project between NASA and the Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
According to NASA Wallops, this current plays a vital role in our daily lives and deals with radio and communication signals.
The next date to launch is scheduled for Tuesday morning with a timeframe between 9:30-11:30 AM.

Police Joyce Blanton's boyfriend, Frank Brown, 45, had sex with a 13-year-old mildly-mentally challenged girl.
Blanton did not seek any prenatal care for the child and told investigators she was going to pretend to be the birth mother once the baby was born.

Police say family get together at an apartment building went seriously wrong when the older cousin of a toddler suddenly took him.
They say the 13–month–old was reported taken from his home near 46th and Stockwell at around nine Friday morning.
Officials say the toddler's cousin, 20–year–old Nathaniel Gonzalez, was visiting when he started claiming he was the child's father.
Officials say soon after, he grabbed the child and took off.
Neighbors say they heard the mother shouting that someone was trying to take her baby, so they ran outside and tried to help.
"I came out and he was already at his car so there was nothing I could do. All I thought about doing was getting his license plate numbers," says Robert Skaggs who lives nearby.
Gonzalez didn't get very far.
Police got a call just before eleven that the red Chevy Aveo he was driving was in a Target parking lot.
"Officers were able to check the vehicle, there was no on inside the vehicle. Obviously in the front of the Target we assumed that the person responsible and the child were inside," says Sgt. Don Scheinost of the Lincoln Police Department.
Officials say Gonzalez was arrested shortly after inside the store. The toddler was returned to his mother unharmed.
Family members are shocked, and still trying to piece together how and why it all happened.
"I just can't believe that this happened. I mean, this is a shocking thing. I just didn't think that he would be capable of doing this," says the toddler's aunt Prisca Moreira.
Gonzalez is in custody at the Lancaster County Jail, police say he was arrested for Felony Theft and Kidnapping.

Surfing Before The Sun Comes UpPublished July 21, 2014 long island , Surf 2 Comments
Tags: dawn patrol, Surf
Do you wake up early to surf? For the past three days I have been getting to the beach right before the sun came up, and it's paid off. Summertime always means a more crowded lineup, and unless you're still in school you have to go to work all day, so heading out for these pre-dawn patrol surfs seems like the way to go.
Long Island got solid shoulder high waves for the past three days, and I was on it early for all three of them. Waking up at 5am isn't easy, but the pay off can be worth it.

Don't know if the penguin is still up (or why anyone would take it down), but I took this picture by the stairs leading up to Clayton street off the N train stop at Carl and Cole. This is a fairly popular skate spot for jumping the stairs and catching a bit of this ledge too. Would make for a real cool shot if you had someone doing an ollie over the stairs with the penguin below.

Long Beach At Long LastPublished May 6, 2014 long island , Surf Leave a Comment
Tags: boardwalk, Long Beach New York
Long Beach is only a few miles west of my home break Gilgo Beach, but it's a totally different vibe. Gilgo is a barrier beach. Just a sliver of sand with a few residential homes lining the bay side. The parking lot is fairly empty this type of year, and when you're in the water there's noting staring back at you except for a couple seagulls and rooftops peeking over the sand dunes.
Long Beach on the other hand has a real urban feel. There's no parking lot with high school kids in toll booths collecting parking fees. You park on the street and you get in to your wetsuit on the street. 6:30am, towel around my waist, I chatted with two guys who were still making their way home from the night before. Friendly guys with opinions on the wave quality. From the water you look back at high-rise apartments, condos, hotels and a beautifully rebuilt boardwalk.
I surfed at the Lincoln Blvd jetty solely because it's where a Surfline cam is situated. Lincoln is a good wave and the breaks are more spread out then I thought. It doesn't break just off the Jetty, which is good for not creating a crowded takeoff spot. I'm sorry it took me so long to drive the extra 15 minutes to find out what a good wave Long Island has in Long Beach.

There's a column in SURFER magazine called Curious Gabe. In it, a guy named Gabe Sullivan drives to various cities in southern California asking local surfers one question. It's entertaining enough. In this month's magazine, Gabe asks his interviewees "What makes a surfboard magic?" Hat maker (yep, hat maker), Nick Fouquet, gives the answer you'd expect from a spiritual craftsman like himself and also doesn't disappoint with his photo. Nick Fouquet you're awesome.

The five most interesting stories, rumors and notes in the NBA:
1. A tale of two cities: It's not often that a news report– an unconfirmed one, based on unnamed sources — creates the kind of ripples around the NBA like yesterday's story that the Sacramento Kings are close to being sold and moved to Seattle.
As the Seattle Times' Bob Condotta reports, officials in Seattle and Sacramento seemed in the dark about the sale, which according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarwoski would carry a record $500 million price tag and transfer ownership from the Maloof family to a Seattle group led by Chris Hansen.
The reaction among the Trail Blazers – excitement about a possible return of the I-5 rivalry, mixed with sadness about the loss of once-exciting Sacramento — mirrored the reaction around the league.
In Denver, Nuggets coach George Karl – who coached the SuperSonics to the NBA Finals — said: "I'm not going to lie, I'm happy that Seattle is going to have a team…but
I am disappointed that Sacramento can't keep their team," the Denver Post reports.
In Charlotte, where Utah played last night, Jazz guard Earl Watson recalled the emotions he went through when the Sonics bolted for Oklahoma City in 2008, the Deseret News reports.
"To watch them leave was hard, to be a part of that was hard," said Watson, who played on the final Seattle and first OKC teams. "The city definitely deserves a team. The city
definitely loves sports, great fans, I think some of the best fans in
the NBA."
Rockets center Greg Smith, who grew up near Sacramento, tells the Houston Chronicle the move would be tough. "It's going to hurt," he said. "In Sacramento, you always had the Kings. They've been there your whole life. Going to Seattle is tough."
In Oklahoma City, Thunder big man Nick Collison, one of two current OKC players who made the move from Seattle (along with Kevin Durant), tells the Oklahoman that he's taking a wait-and-see approach, but, "If it happens, I'll be happy for Seattle fans and feel for Sacramento
fans, because I've seen first-hand how hard it is for fans to lose a
team. If we go there, it'll be fun for me to see some old friends, but
it definitely probably would be a weird feeling."
The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry points out something that could make Seattleites shudder. The move would have to be approved by the NBA relocation committee, which is chaired by Thunder owner Clay Bennett, the man most responsible for the Sonics' move to OKC.
Seattle fans, of course, despise Bennett. But how do they feel about potentially taking another city's team? The Seattle Times is running a poll asking respondents if they would feel "guilty about swiping the Kings," and of the three answers, "No, not at all" is leading at 44 percent, followed by "Yes, I'd feel Sacramento's pain" (31 percent) and "Yes, but only a little" (25 percent).
2. Meanwhile, in Sacramento … The Kings have two players for whom a move to Seattle would be a homecoming — guards Aaron Brooks and Isaiah Thomas. But the Sacramento Bee's Matt Kawahara reports that the Kings did not make Brooks and Thomas available to the media yesterday. Maybe they had dental appointments.
But would the Kings be available to a different buyer willing to keep the team in Sacramento? Bee columnist Ailene Voisin writes that the negotiations with Hansen's group show that the Maloofs are willing to sell, something they've insisted they don't want to do, so they owe it to Sacramento to give the city "a chance to cobble together a competitive bid."
Is there a White Knight who could save the day for Sac? Mayor Kevin Johnson, in a news conference, said he has remained in contact with billionaire Ron Burkle, who has previously been identified as a possible buyer who could keep the team in place.
However, Voisin points out that there is bad blood between the Maloofs and Burkle that could keep a sale to him from happening.
3. The Heat is on: Tonight's TNT game at the Rose Garden could be a big turning point in the season … for the Heat.
Wait .. .what?
The game between the Blazers and Heat begins a tough stretch for Portland, the first of a back-to-back that includes a game Friday at Golden State, and is followed by a home matchup against Oklahoma City.
But the Heat are the ones whose season could turn? Apparently so. The Palm Beach Post's Ethan Skolnick writes that the Heat are facing a "pivot point" in the season after a stretch in which they have lost four of their last seven games.
Sure, Miami (23-10) still has the best record in the Eastern Conference, but the Heat have been getting pounded on the board, getting outrebounded in five of their last seven games — including by 17 against Orlando, 20 against Chicago and 19 against Indiana.
Miami's top post player, Chris Bosh, is averaging 7.6 rebounds, which would be his worst average since his rookie season, and hasn't had a double-digit rebounding game since Dec. 12. That led to a weird exchange with media members after Miami's practice at the Rose Garden yesterday, when Bosh said he would support coach Erik Spoelstra if Spoelstra gave his playing time to another player.
just showing how much invested I am into it," Bosh said. "We want the
best rebounders out there on the court. To say, if I'm lacking on my
job, and if it's not me, and if I'm not a good rebounder out there, if
I'm not what this team needs, then maybe I need to sit and learn some
more, or maybe somebody else needs to play more. That's just a figure of
speech; you know what I mean."
Do we?
4. Point of yes return: That Miami could be struggling so much on the boards but still be on top of its conference shows that the East is a little flat right now, with the Heat and Knicks clearly on top, but the other potential playoff teams jumbled below them.
But Boston and Indiana are starting to make some noise, and there's one other factor that could infuse some life back into the East: Derrick Rose.
Rose has started dunking and shooting jumpers in practice as he continues to take big steps in his return from May knee surgery, the Chicago Sun-Times' Joe Cowley reports
Chicago (19-14) has done a nice job staying afloat without the former MVP, but it remains unclear when Rose will actually play in a game, ESPNChicago.com's Jon Greenberg reports. Greenberg notes that guesses put the date in the late-February to March range.
5. Ah, etiquette: Remember in November, when the Blazers' Damian Lillard drew the ire of the Bulls after he dunked with 1.9 seconds left at the end of Portland's win at the Rose Garden?
Rookie mistake, right? After all, it takes time to learn that there's an unwritten etiquette that says when you have victory wrapped up, you're supposed to dribble out the clock and not show up the other team.
But Toronto's Jose Calderon and Landry Fields are hardly rookies. Last night, they hooked up for an alley-oop dunk with 15.6 seconds left in Toronto's 90-72 home win over Philadelphia.
The play apparently upset the 76ers, who exchanged "heated words" with some of the Raptors in the hallway right after the game, the Philadelphia Daily News' Bob Cooney reports.
According to Cooney, both Calderon and Fields wanted to apologize for the play, although according to the play-by-play, there should have been three or four seconds left on the shot clock.
More likely, it was a classic case of misplaced anger by the 76ers, who lost their fifth game in a row.
NOTE: The NBA High-5 will return next week.

LUANDA (Olympics) - The people of Angola simply love their basketball and this is why a nation was left distraught when the men's team failed to live up to their top billing the FIBA Africa Championship last summer and consequently missed out gold and also automatic qualification for London.
Having lived in the shadow of the men for so long, the Angolan women's team couldn't have chosen a more perfect moment to help ease the pain of a heartbroken nation.
The 'Gingas' shocked everyone by finishing top of the podium at the FIBA Africa Championship to capture their first title and in the process, book their spot at the Olympic Games - previously a tournament only graced by the men.

Bridenstine Denied Access to Ft. Sill
First District Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine was denied access Tuesday to the Health and Human Services facility at Ft. Sill that is housing up to 1,200 unaccompanied alien children who illegally crossed the southern border into the United States.
Congressman Bridenstine said there is no excuse for denying a Federal Representative from Oklahoma access to a federal facility in Oklahoma where unaccompanied children are being held. Bridenstine says any Member of Congress should have the legal authority to visit a federal youth detention facility without waiting three weeks.
The Health and Human Services official who appeared to be in charge of the facility told Congressman Bridenstine he could schedule an appointment for July 21st. HHS Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs, Ken Wolfe would not take the Congressman's phone call. The Congressman was told to send Mr. Wolfe an email because that was the preferred method of communication.
Ft. Sill is one of three facilities in the U.S. currently housing the unaccompanied alien children. The Administration policy is that after they are apprehended on the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the children are transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for transport, and then placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) until released to a so-called "sponsor" in the U.S.
"After my visit today with the base commander, I approached the barracks where the children are housed. A new fence has been erected by HHS, completely surrounding the barracks and covered with material to totally obscure the view. Every gate is chained closed.
"I approached a security guard and asked to speak with the manager of the facility. The guard called his supervisor who said no visitors were allowed. I asked if they were aware that I am a Member of Congress. Eventually the manager came out and said that I would have to go through HHS legislative affairs and that the first chance to visit would be July 21st.
"What are they trying to hide? Do they not want the children to speak with Members of Congress? As a Navy pilot, I have been involved in operations countering illicit human trafficking. I would like to know to whom these children are being released."

Both regular season and playoffs are played on the same courts, with the same balls and same baskets. Also, most of the rules are the same. Therefore, teams performance during the season is usually pretty good indicator of how they would fare in the playoffs. The better team typically has higher seed and will more often than not win a series against a lower seed.
There are however differences which should not be ignored:
1) Shortened rotations a.k.a. starball. Teams tend to rely on their stars more heavily during the playoffs. The stars play more minutes than during the regular season, and end of the bench never plays except during blowouts.
2) Increased favoritism toward the stars a.k.a. refball. The playoffs is when the NBA is heavily promoting its stars. Whole NBA ad machine is promoting stars at the expense of the teams all the time, but especially during the playoffs. When two closely matched teams meet in the playoffs, the refball can decide, which team goes forward.
3) Most NBA teams have a lot of soap opera going on during the regular season. The players and coaches often pay more attention to details of internal politics, contracts, minutes, etc. than to the team record. So most teams underperform during regular season and only reach their full potential in the playoffs.
If you think about these factors, you'll see there are reasons why the Spurs are an exceptional regular season team. Of course, they can still win in the playoffs against teams that are not so good. But a few NBA teams that have more talent and can play their stars for 40+ minutes in the playoffs will have an advantage in a 7-game series.

On the morning of this Saturday of Madness, I have been wondering how everyone creates their brackets.
Yes, I am still pretty much in last place at this point, having only correctly picked 17/32 games so far. Yes, the only people doing worse than I am at this point are RollOnYouBears667 and mikeA. Yes, the only reason I am doing better than they are is the simple fact that they did not submit brackets. No, I am not seeing a huge comeback in my future.
But hey, Obama and I picked the same team to win the NCG, so I feel somewhat validated. Even though I am pretty sure I picked them because I thought "Tar Heels" was a funny name.
So...inform me. How do you make your picks? (pics?) (pix?) (pickx?) Poll below.

I find writing about the criminal law system very interesting. Knowing more about the nature of defense and prosecution moves me in different ways. I used to visit law firm websites and I'm glad to have spotted this link:california criminal defense attorney. I have learned a lot while navigating the areas of their practice. I could feel the satisfaction from clients they have served. Their service is indeed life changing. The law seems complicated for the many, but to think that we have great minded lawyers are of great relief.

(NBC) - It's been 24 years since Jimmy Smits began his run on NBC's "LA Law". Starting tonight he's back on NBC and back in the legal profession in the new drama "Outlaw".
Smits plays Cyrus Garza, a Supreme Court Justice who likes the cards and loves the ladies, which makes him a less than typical member of the high court. That leads to him giving up his spot on the bench and opening his own practice.
"One might be surprised, I should say, about where this character's going to be coming from," Smits says.
Even though "Outlaw" is a drama, it comes from an unexpected source: Conan O'Brien's production company.
It premieres tonight on NBC.

After being shown the world's most ambitious collection of baseball pulp magazines, I was ushered into a completely different subterranean chamber and told to wait at a long table. Aside from the door through which I had come, this room had arched openings at either end. The walls past these arches curved away from my sight so that I could not reckon where it was they led. I was so busy looking at the upper portion of these openings that I did not at first notice the train tracks that emanated there from. They were of a very narrow gauge -- much bigger than a child's playset, but also very much smaller than the real thing.
It wasn't long before I heard the sound of an approaching machine and the growing glow of a light from the arch to the left. Soon, a small, streamlined locomotive appeared, ridden by a man in full engineer's regalia. Behind him were two gondolas, each about 10 feet in length and filled with boxes. My guide and his assistant unloaded the boxes onto the table in front of me. When they were done, the engineer drove the train through the arch in the opposite wall, very quickly disappearing around the corner.
"This is the first load of many from the comic-book vaults," I was told. "Please don your special gloves and respirator." The first box was placed before me, its lid lifted. Inside were a half-dozen gross of Golden and Silver Age comics. What follows are some of the highlights of the collection's comic holdings, along with descriptions designed to enhance your understanding of their place in the history of popular culture.
A Date with Judy
Why anyone wanted to date Judy was a mystery, as most of her gentleman callers ended up like this poor fellow: incurring her wrath on the diamond.
Is Very Stupid American Boy
At the height of the Cold War, orders came down from the Kremlin to create something that would demonstrate to Soviet children the incompetence of their American counterparts. The result was a series of comic books, of which this was a part. The vast majority were printed in Russian or one of the U.S.S.R.'s other languages. But a few, like this one, were published in English, ostensibly so that American children would feel the sting of the Communists' barbs.
Famous Funnies
By the time Branch Rickey had become the catalyst in integrating baseball after World War II, there were few who remembered that he'd been a player himself, at the turn of the century. But play he once had, and play he would again - until he actually tried, that is.
Babe Ruth Sports
This is Issue No. 2 in this particular line. After No. 1 didn't sell as well as expected, the publishers downplayed the sports angle, and instead delved more into the Babe's other areas of pursuit, with hopes that the sales picture would brighten.
Casper, the Friendly Ghost
In this issue, Casper, tired of being pushed around the ball field by the Ghostly Trio, embarks on a program of strength conditioning and, perhaps, something else.
Tales of the 1 Percent
Each issue contained amusing stories about how the richest of the rich would either thwart bad guys from stealing their money, find amusing ways of making more money, or simply find extra money they didn't realize they had. The entry shown here features a story about a prosperous young man who buys a ball club, then convinces local elected officials to build him a new field at taxpayer expense.
Doll Man
That name ... that costume ... the boy who took to Doll Man was a brave boy indeed - hence the publisher's warning.
The Three Stooges
Through a deadly combination of chicanery and gross oversight, this issue of The Three Stooges actually reached newsstands before anyone noticed that something was horribly wrong. The number-one suspect was a worker in the print shop who was often heard muttering about his great discontent with the Stooges' latter-day work. Although there were no witnesses to the crime, he was quietly let go ... as were those responsible for quality control.

Fishers, Ind.—In June, Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, Indiana's only Smithsonian Affiliate, will unveil the newly revitalized 1836 Prairietown. The 19th century living pioneer village will offer guests the opportunity to experience history in a whole new way through new immersive programming, new structures, a new potter's shop and new hands-on activities.
Originally opened in 1974, 1836 Prairietown is a fictional yet historically accurate pioneer village set in the 1830s. Its community of residents struggle to survive during a time when many small towns disappeared. 1836 Prairietown is nationally known for catapulting guests into history through interaction with costumed staff, who speak as if in the time period, coupled with interactive experiences in an authentic setting. While Conner Prairie will keep elements for which 1836 Prairietown is best known, the town will be transformed to offer new opportunities to discover firsthand what it was like to live, work and play in Indiana's past.

"The1836 Prairietown living history experience is the cornerstone on which Conner Prairie was founded," said Ellen M. Rosenthal, president and CEO. "It was a revolutionary approach to the presentation of history when it opened 38 years ago – the first time in America visitors felt they could meet people of the past. We are taking the next step in the evolution of engaging visitors this year by enriching opportunities for hands-on and role-playing experiences."
The Story
In 1830s Indiana small towns often didn't survive. The residents of 1836 Prairietown are coming together as a community to attract new neighbors, landowners and skilled tradesmen to ensure the future of their town. Visitors will become potential residents looking to secure a home, find a job and earn wages to spend at the town store, all while overcoming hardships and obstacles pioneers faced in the 19th century. At the end of their journey, guests will affect the fate of 1836 Prairietown by deciding if they want to take up residency or continue moving west.
New Experiences and New Look
1836 Prairietown will be transformed through new color schemes, structures and remodeled historic buildings. Upon arrival, visitors will walk through a new entry sequence designed to orient them to what life was like in 1836, a time when Andrew Jackson was president and there were no automobiles, microwaves or zippers. Families will then be met by a staff member at the new Outfitter's Station. This modern-day host will not only provide opportunities to participate in new programming but also help guests make the most of their 1836 Prairietown adventure.
The Barker Brothers' Pottery Shop is the newest building in 1836 Prairietown. Construction on the shop began in April 2011. Visitors can dive into the history of pottery by watching a master craftsman at work and then try their hand at this historic trade on model spinning wheels. At select times and for an additional fee, guests of all ages can make a masterpiece of their own to take home.
In the newly remodeled town store, guests will now be able to purchase goods and souvenirs to take home with "money" earned by pitching in and lending a hand to the townsfolk. Guests can earn coins by completing odd jobs in town such as feeding live animals, helping with farm chores and assisting various tradesmen. The store not only offers new programming but will also have a new look both inside and out.
Several other existing historic buildings will be transformed to provide more hands-on, self-directed activities, such as a new play kitchen in the Campbell home, horseshoe activity table in the blacksmith's shop, chalk stenciling in the Curtis home, remodeled dress-up station in the McClure house, a life-size covered wagon with supplies and furniture to move in and out of the Cabin for Sale and much more.
New Opportunities for Engagement
Whether they enjoy being immersed in the action, joining in on activities or just observing, guests can participate in new opportunities for engagement at all levels. New Adventure Guidebooks, Achievement Cards and Seek-and-Find Books will provide a unique experience with each visit to 1836 Prairietown.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - It's illegal to sell human body parts to the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center for research or instruction. However, a Dallas TV station discovered that one North Texas company may have found a loophole in the law.
WFAA found that Autopsy Associates of North Texas does not charge the HSC for tissue samples but rather it charges for the "removal" of tissue samples from dead bodies.
WFAA says according to public records Tech paid the company $3,000 in 2007 and 2008. The manager of that company defends the practice.

Crowd sourcing innovative social change
Social Impact attended the SxSW Interactive Festival to listen and learn. We're sharing insights from the experience on our blog.
The Crowd Sourcing Innovative Social Change panel, moderated by Beth Kanter, with Amy Sample Ward, Holly Ross, David Neff, and Kari Dunn Saratovsky covered a lot of material, including discussion of the definition of crowd sourcing and some creative examples of crowd sourcing from nonprofits including Open Green Map, Seattle Free School and Invisible People. Check out Marcia Stepanek's blog post for a great recap of these examples.
The discussion I enjoyed most, however, focused on this question: Does crowd sourcing add value? In other words, do the ideas and input generated from the crowd contribute to a lasting outcome? Or is it, as some people have joked, an example of how organizations can get others to do their work for them?
My take?
Crowd sourcing is appealing for a number of reasons – it surfaces new perspectives, invites people from nontraditional sources to contribute, and infuses real energy into the process of generating ideas and content. It can also be empowering – creating opportunities and platforms for people to give voice to ideas and to contribute to social change efforts. It's a way to build engagement and relationships with new audiences – to open up organizations.
Yet, above all, crowd sourcing only works when it's used in service of the right outcomes. In other words, as several of the panelists noted, you can't crowd source an organizational strategy. (Amen.)
Crowd sourcing works best if it:
- Focuses on a well-stated challenge
- Links to clear, well-articulated outcomes
- Balances input from non-experts with guidance from "experts"
- Targets communities with particular perspectives or experience, rather than general crowds
- Makes clear how participating will be valuable for the crowd

Any questions?
An absolutely World Class finish. Stopped me in mid-sentence yesterday...
Now, back to trying to assemble my thoughts on I'm Not There, which has been the most difficult experience I have ever had in terms of writing about a movie... More soon, come hell or high water!
David Lowery | November 30, 2007 10:54 AM
I'm trying to write something myself. I've seen the movie twice now and feel like I need to see it yet again before I can begin to assess it - and yet at the same time I'm pretty sure that any number of subsequent viewings won't deliver anything more than what I've already taken from the film.
gabe | November 30, 2007 1:53 AM
Your deconstruction of Hamlet was brilliant. I expect your preparing a like analysis for the Haynes film.
Allow me to simplify:
Take an iPod. Load it with Bob Dylan cover songs, the Fellini catalogue and Don't Look Back. Shuffle.

- Comments and insights on the name Ashal: | Edit
My son is the 7th generation to have this first name with the first being from Caithness, Scotland and the second and third being from England. Most of the men in the family go by their middle name so as not to cause confusion with other family members although husband's grandfather went by "Ace". I had a hard time with this name at first not to mention the pressure to continue the name by giving it to my son. I am so glad my husband left it up to me. Most people mispronounce it and sometimes people's interpretations sound close to an unsavory phrase. But the more history I read on the name the more I liked it. So we have a 6 year-old Ashal Archer, who goes by his middle name. The fact that he shares a name with his dad, grandpa, etc. is special to him.
