We have heard from police time and again about being extra eyes and ears for them. We're told to speak up if we see a problem. They want to hear from us.
Now, I understand our officers won't be able to prevent all crime and things do happen. But a recent incident in Wilmington would seem to indicate our officers could have done better.
On Mother's Day, there was an event at Robert Strange Park. And someone ended up getting shot.
Our reporters in the newsroom discovered there were some calls for police assistance at the park hours before. The first time, an officer stayed for about 15 minutes and didn't note gang activity. After a second call, an officer stopped by for only about a minute according to the police log. An hour later, someone was shot.
Could they have stuck around? Was something preventing them from staying in the area? Were they too quick to dismiss this as a clear scene?
I think this would be a good case for the police to review. If they don't learn from incidents like this, then they won't make much progress in getting the public's help in the future.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Emailed comments from viewers:
I am visiting your city for a work conference. On Tuesday, I was watching your station. One minute you are showing a Wilmington cop wrangling a poisonous snake and the next you are critical of officers because a gang member shot another gang member. I certainly hate anyone getting hurt, and I'm sure your officers do as well. Fortunately, they are not the ones who had to shoot a suspect, or I suspect they would have even less support.
I would hate to live in a city where the media is that critical of their police force. Your guys are going to rough neighborhoods, dealing with gangs, catching snakes, etc..It is easy to sit on the sidelines and question those who do. If you are going to be critical at least look into the matter more to be informed. If you were informed, you certainly did not present factors that would show your point. I'm curious about their call volume that night, the details of the information that was giving to them by the callers, and how was their staffing. Do they have a gang unit, and what is the PD doing as a whole about gang activity.
I suspect Wilmington PD would let you ride with them and then you could report with more information about what it is like out there dealing with gangs.

"So You Want to be a Law Professor"
Lucinda Jesson
I am a reader. When I was pregnant with my first child, I read all the books on childbirth and newborns I could find. Books by pediatricians, obstetricians, and psychologists. In retrospect, the most helpful was not written by an "expert" but by a recent new mother: What Only a Mother Can Tell You about Having a Baby.1 That woman knew where I was coming from.
I write about the decision and process of becoming a law professor in the same vein. I am not an expert. I am, however, a law professor. And have been one for two years, eleven months and twenty days. I practiced law for twenty-three years before entering the Academy and I now put pen to paper before time blurs my memory of the hiring process and transition.2
Here is the good news: the process is more pleasant than labor.
You think of brick buildings, wide lawns and students straining to hear your advice. Of summers off. Of time to think deeply and independently of client and firm positions. Before you awake from this tranquil dream to rewrite your resume, ask yourself these questions to help decide if, indeed, you want to be a law professor:
Have I written a law review article recently?
You believe writing is what you will do after you become a law professor. But you should write now for two reasons. First and foremost, find out if you enjoy researching and writing law review articles. If you do not, then look elsewhere for your next position. Writing articles, crafting footnotes, and negotiating with student editors is a large part of most of these jobs. Second, law schools will judge your scholarship potential as part of the process. Having written a law review article (and hopefully a thoughtful one) greatly aids your candidacy. A reasonable work-in-progress will help as well. But telling the faculty hiring committee that you had no time to write while billing 2,000 hours last year is not a winning argument. Sorry.
Do I like process?
Part—a large part—of becoming a law professor is becoming a member of the faculty. In the academic world, faculties participate in "shared governance" with the administration. And faculties never rush those governance decisions. When you combine a faculty member's typical resistance to change with a lawyer's procedural training and attention to detail, you have the orientation of a typical law school faculty member. Except, of course, there will be a whole set of us. We are, by and large, intellectual and engaging. But we have a committee and process for every conceivable decision. Take a look at the law school accreditation process if you doubt me. (Or, for that matter, the faculty hiring process.)
Is teaching like presenting a good CLE?
No. Good teaching is harder. Step back a minute: the lawyers in your CLE already graduated from law school, passed the bar and are practicing law. Starting at the beginning is more challenging. Remember when you did not understand personal jurisdiction? I doubt a standard lecture led you to that eventual understanding. Moreover, students, who pay $30,000 plus a year in tuition, demand more of us than our CLE counterparts. They should. But here is the good news: while good teaching is preparation intensive, it also is rewarding. (Although the usual teaching load may strike you—as it did me—as light. This leaves plenty of time, however, for committee meetings. See above.)
Should I try adjunct teaching?
Many lawyers think that adjunct teaching will help you become a law professor. At the margin, it does. But the real advantage of adjunct teaching is discovering whether you enjoy it. (I found I did.) But, if time is at a premium and you must choose, writing that law review article probably heightens your chances more than a semester of teaching. Actually, write two.
Do I work well in a somewhat isolated, unstructured environment?
This is the question I should have asked myself. Much of academic life is solitary. Many of your future colleagues thrive on the solitude as they research, reflect, and write. And time is unstructured. While someone will notice if your classes go untaught, law schools generally recognize that good scholarship takes time. Structure is mostly self-imposed. For lawyers used to working as teams, for litigators driven by court-imposed deadlines, for those of us who thrive on solving constant client crises, the switch to an academic environment can be a culture shock. (On the other hand, if the last sentence describes you and you thrive on process, consider a deanship.)
Congratulations. Your thoughtful resume and writing won you an interview. What comes next?
If your interview is at the Association of American Law Schools annual hiring meeting (aka the meat market), there is a good advice column for interviewees posted on the group's website.3 If your screening interview is at a local law school, much of the association's advice holds true as well. I will not repeat it here. But below is advice (some learned the hard way) for the next stage of the hiring process: the campus visit.
While campus visits vary among schools, they all have one thing in common: the process is strikingly different than law firm hiring. From the resume (we call it a "C.V." here in the Ivy Tower) to the "job talk," it is a different world.
Start by rethinking your resume. As a lawyer, I wanted a resume that fit neatly on two pages. I never would have thought of listing all those CLE presentations and bar articles. Or enumerating my media interviews and newspaper columns. (I still do not go this far.) But welcome to the world of seven‑and-eight-page C.V.s with education, writing and presentations, front and center.
Rethink your credentials as well. What carries weight in the academy often differs from practice. For example, after five years or more of practice, few practitioners remember or care where you attended law school. Experience and expertise is the key. I was surprised that in academic hiring, people cared where I earned my J.D. (the Ivy League is still the gold standard) and whether I was on the (not just a) law review. While this emphasis still mystifies me, look at it this way: law professors believe that law school really matters. For the rest of your life. As a student, would you want law professors who believe otherwise? So try to remember your job title on the law review and be warned that many of my colleagues will not know the difference between being named a Super Lawyer and a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers. And now may not be the time to educate us.
Perhaps it is just my age, but an academic campus visit strikes me as more of an endurance contest than did a "call back" to a law firm. They usually last longer. They include more people. Rather than one-on-one interviews, you often face a series of group interviews. The process is not (and I say this as a compliment to firms) as slick and seamless as call backs. Law firms are used to marketing themselves. Not so with the law faculty.
A critical point of the campus visit is your scholarship presentation to a large section of the faculty, the job talk. It is your opportunity to persuade a skeptical audience that you—a practitioner no less—can be a scholar. It is also an up-close and personal opportunity to judge how you will come across at national symposia and in the classroom. I never was a moot court fan while in practice but I wish I had "mooted" my talk before someone besides my
fourteen-year-old. I suggest mooting yours before a few law professors. Your competition may come from one of the burgeoning fellowship and visiting assistant professor programs which groom recent graduates for the academy. Most will not have your experience, but they will have an inside track on what faculties are looking for in the job talk.
It's over. Good luck. As with labor and childbirth, the result can be life changing.
1. K.C.Cole, What Only a Mother Can Tell You About Having a Baby (Doubleday, 1st ed. 1980).
2. I have twin goals for this essay. I hope it will find its way to lawyers contemplating a move to academia. (At least it should shorten my numerous conversations with aspiring law professors.) Additionally, if law schools rethink integration with the practicing bar, as prompted by the Carnegie Report (William M. Sullivan, Anne Colby, Judith Welch Wegner, Lloyd Bond & Lee S. Shulman, Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law (Jossey-Bass 2007)), a practitioner's perspective on the hiring process may prove useful. We should know how they think. I write while I am still unsure whether I am "we" or "they" and before my default position on hiring becomes "but that's the way we have always done it."

On January 24, 2012 I posted an article about an incident in Wentzville, MO where a man was shot in the back while cleaning up for a fundraiser.
While volunteers were popping balloons, a man fell over with a gunshot wound to the back with an exit wound to the chest.
According to the website StLToday.com
"The shooting occurred about 11:20 p.m. as the truck driver and victim were helping to clean up after the fundraiser. The gun, a Cobra Derringer, was in the truck driver's coat pocket. The man picked up his coat as he prepared to leave the church. The gun fell out of his pocket, hit the floor and fired. The bullet struck the victim, seated at the next table, in the back and exited through his chest.
At the same time, several people were popping balloons, Banas said. One witness said she thought she heard a gun shot, but all other witnesses thought the sound came from balloons popping, Banas said.
A woman found the gun on the floor and gave it to the owner as he was leaving, Banas said. He said the gun owner was unaware that the gun had fired or that anyone had been injured, but the next morning, he saw news reports that someone was shot at the fundraiser. He checked his gun and discovered an empty shell. The man went to the Wentzville police station, surrendered his weapon and gave a statement."
Aside from a warning to make sure any "pocket carry" gun is carried in a pocket holster, another lesson from this article is it is never known who is carrying a firearm into your church. While the case has been deemed accidental, and no charges are pending against the truck driver, it is still a tragic case that should not have happened.
What would you have done in a situation like this? Personally, I like to use a visualization technique called "When-Then" thinking. I simply close my eyes and try to visualize what could have been happening.
I imagine the chaos. Quite possibly I envision the "accidental shooter" standing there in shock holding his firearm. I envision myself making the scene safe and directing one specific person to call 911.
Is this someone I know? Do I need to disarm the person? Is it a case where I place my hand on his shoulder and the other hand on his gun while I tell him what I'm doing? Should I draw my weapon (if armed) and confront him?
Do I have the proper medical supplies to help stop the bleeding? What if the wound is a sucking chest wound, what should I do? Do I know how to control bleeding from a head wound or a chest wound?
Visualization and making a checklist of things you might need, but do not have, can help you save a life when seconds count.
Thankfully, the victim in this case survived his wounds and is now home recovering. However, this is a case that proves again that anything can happen, even at church.

The work areas defined in the relation.
SET SKIP works only with tables that have been linked with the SET RELATION command. Used together, the SET RELATION and SET SKIP commands determine the way in which the record pointer moves through parent and child tables.
Use SET SKIP when you set a relation from a parent table containing unique key values to child tables that contain duplicate key values, that is, a one-to-many relationship. SET SKIP causes commands that move the record pointer to move the pointer to every record with matching key values in a child table before moving the record pointer in the parent table. If you define a chain of relations and use SET SKIP to move from one table to the next down the chain, the record pointer moves to every record in the last child table before the pointer moves in its parent table.
You do not need to specify the root (parent) alias in the SET SKIP list. SET SKIP TO with no options cancels any previously defined SET SKIP behavior.
SET SKIP behavior in OODML is provided through use of the navigateMaster and navigateByMaster Rowset properties.

ALERT: Popular Drug Increases Diabetes Risk By Almost 50%
A new study by the University of Massachusetts Medical School has found that women in their 50's, 60's and 70's who took statins to lower cholesterol had a 48 percent greater chance of becoming diabetic than women who did not take the statin drugs.1
And as you'll read in today's alert, this may also apply to bisphosphonates such as Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Atelvia, and Reclast.
Lead researcher Yunsheng Ma and team kept track of the 150,000 study participants for six to seven years to determine how many would be diagnosed with diabetes.
The study results – and researchers' conclusion – have sent the medical establishment scrambling for ways to defend the widespread use of statins.
The news agency Reuters quotes Dr. David Jenkins, a chronic disease researcher at the University of Toronto, voicing a stunning opinion. He comments that doctors consider developing Type II diabetes:
"A very fair trade-off, since statins lower the risk of heart disease, the primary concern related to diabetes."2
Indeed, this could be a potentially very widespread trade-off, since according to Reuters, "about one-quarter of adults age 45 and older in the United States now take statins – which run anywhere from $11 to over $200 per month."2
Aside from your amazement at this skewed way of thinking, you're probably wondering how this latest statin fiasco relates to bone health. As I write in the Save Our Bones Program,
"Like statins – drugs used to lower blood cholesterol levels – bisphosphonates begin their action on bone metabolism by blocking the enzyme farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) which is involved in the mevalonate pathway (also called the HMG-CoA reductase pathway)."
In other words, both statins and bisphosphonates disrupt the same enzymatic processes. This is a real cause for concern because it's conceivable that in the not-so-distant future, researchers will discover similar results in study patients who take bisphosphonates. Perhaps one day, a researcher will make the connection and conduct the study.
In the meantime, this is yet one more good reason to stay away from these osteoporosis drugs.
Till next time,

The Renegade Report – Jeremy Pruitt??
Many FSU fans were shocked to learn that Jeremy Pruitt would be the next defensive coordinator for the Seminoles. Pruitt has no experience as a college coordinator and only 3 years as a college coach. However, like Jimbo Fisher he is a "Saban Disciple" so that undoubtedly played a role in the hire. In this episode of The Renegade Report, Herc & Nolebra Kai discuss what the addition of Jeremy Pruitt and Sal Sunseri will mean for the defense. Should Jeremy Pruitt have even been considered for this position given his lack of experience?

Thirty-three year-old Derrick Twardoski, the man being charged for the quadruple murder of Ethan, Kailey, Brandon and Landon Owen to undergo a mental evaluation to determine if he is fit to stand trial.
Twardoski's attorney asked for the evaluation after talking with Twardoski for several hours.
The prosecuting attorney's says that evaluation could take place as early as tomorrow.
"I mean this is exactly what I anticipated would happen, I won't get in to my personal feelings if he is fit or not, but I would rather address the issue at the very beginning so it doesn't become an issue down the road or many years from now after we convict this guy," says Prosecuting Attorney Jeremy Walker. "I don't want any reason for this to come back on appeals and this is one of those hurdles we get over."
In court today, family and friends of the children wore shirts in support of the Owen family that read "Owens angels" with pictures and names of the four siblings who died.
The parents, Matt and Natasha Owen were there-and at one point after Twardoski left the courtroom, Natasha Owen broke down and started crying.
Twardoski will be back in court June 20.

A word from Ngam
Long ago chef Ngamprom "Hong" Thaimee left her modeling and television work in Thailand and made her way into the world of food, trainining under Thailand's most celebrated chef, M.L. Sirichalerm Savsti. Eventually she came to New York, where Thaimee cooked at Kittichai and Spice Market. She now goes solo at Ngam, which, aside from being her namesake, happens to be the Thai word for beautiful. The Union Square area spot serves updated spins on Thai comfort food, including a tom yum soup with crispy trout, Thai burger with papaya salad, pad Thai with grilled black tiger prawns, and duck larb salad. You'll also find a smaller lunch menu, plus a bar serving wine and beer.Continued

- Bad Experience - Raw ChickenMexicaliDined on 8/27/2014I've been here before - my 1st experience was great - this time not. The AC was broken and my BF and I sat down sweating bullets. Also, beware of a SUPER loud atmosphere. Okay if you're with friends - not okay if you're trying to get to know someone. You practically need to put your ear against your date's mouth to hear them. Service was slow, but when food finally arrived, it did tasted pretty good (I ordered papaya pad thai w/ chicken + my BF ordered old school pad thai w/ chicken). BUT when I was 1/2 way thru my meal, I noticed 2 large pieces of chicken that were completely raw :-( Manager came over + apologized - he was VERY nice and comped the meal, but still... Raw chicken is a NO NO!
- DisappointingKwar228Dined on 8/26/2014This is one of these restaurants where I don't understand why anyone gives it a good review, unless it was a total aberration and there was a dishwasher filling in for a cook on the night we were there. Utterly mediocre...like getting thai food in the suburbs. Very nice waiter but very long gaps in service..drinks took forever, ordering even longer. Food came out fairly fast.
- A new twistTony2meDined on 8/15/2014Thoroughly enjoyable gastronomic experience. Every dish, while simply prepared bursts with flavour. Excellent choices for both vegetarian and non vegetarian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, medium serviceSSGGDined on 8/6/2014The food was great - different from any Thai food I've had. We had to look around for a server to help us take our order and pay the check and not a lot of description when we asked questions about the dishesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative MenujenecoyoteVIPDined on 7/24/2014Lots of vegan and paleo options. Very friendly and attentive staff. They have happy hour specials on the cocktail menu and the food is creative and ambitious with many variations of old favorites that I have not seen at any other thai restaurant.Special Features:

- Overall goodFoodiefromupstateDined on 7/17/2014Great food, loved happy hour drinks and apps. Cozy but not cramped--For guests at least, heard at least three glasses break. My only real complaint is although I put a special note indicating a birthday, it was not acknowledged.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Long wait but yummyMelemellyVIPDined on 7/16/2014We waited for our food for almost an hour but our server was super apologetic and accommodating (she gave us a free round of drinks). Once we received the food it was quite good though!Special Features:

- Spacious & tasty!SmilingCandleDined on 7/3/2014Love the modern Thai food here. Too often it's too sweet or bland, this place gets it right. Had seasonal selections: watermelon sangria, mushroom spring rolls, amazing som tom with kiwi & strawberries, pad thai made with raw zucchini noodles instead. Hot weather appropriate and great offerings for vegans too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousBkos2Dined on 7/1/2014This was my second time here and both were great. Came with a group of about 12 from work and had the prix fixe. Second time I brought my girlfriend for her birthday. It was a little warm in the restaurant since the cook the food behind a bar like counter. We were promptly seated as another couple or two were waiting. The service was good but not great as sometimes it was hard to find the waitress. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the meal. Everything came out great and was rather quick. The drinks were unique and tasty. Overall had a great time for a very reasonable price.
- Delicious...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/28/2014By far one of my favorite thai restaurants in NYC. The flavors of the dishes is amazing and with some unique pairings.Special Features:
- Interesting take on ThaiOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/26/2014I have no complaints about Ngam. We had the Thai Taco, the Very Rustic Chicken Soup, and the Ghang Kiaw Wan with chicken for an entree. It was all different and new to us, and everything tasted good. Our waitress was friendly and reasonably attentive. When I mentioned the Yelp check-in deal, she offered to deduct the price of my friend's mojito, even though the deal is technically only for beer or wine (I think). I would definitely come back here at some point.Special Features:
- 6/21/2014bmr2014Dined on 6/21/2014Great Food and service, but the restaurant itself was so loud that I had to almost shout in order to talk to the person next to me (most likely a function of eating there at 7 P.M. on a saturday night). I would definitely recommend trying this place out, just maybe not at a peak dining time.Special Features:

- Great for Thai with a Twist!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/12/2014I was looking for a new Thai spotted when I found Ngam, the menu features traditional Thai dishes with a unique twist (like Pad Thai made with zucchini noodles). They also had a GREAT cocktail menu with fresh ingredients like kiwi and thai basil, try the Spring Fling. I went there with my boyfriend and the dishes were a good side for splitting so we got to try a few different things. Overall the experience was great, the only problem we had was that we went on a warm summer day and they did not have the air on or fans so it was a bit sticky inside. That being said I will definitely be back againI would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun and vibrant ThaiFoodieVIPDined on 6/11/2014Love the decoration and the lighting. All 3 of us arrived at different times, but even though the place was packed, we were still seated. The plates were beautifully arranged, the food was a step up of your regular Thai. Will have to go back for more.Special Features:
- I will returnPiggedOutDined on 6/10/2014....for more Zucchini Pad Thai. The mushroom spring rolls were just fried noodles mostly and would not order again, but the Pad Thai.... I also tasted the Green Curry Fried Rice, which was also great.
- Great food but slow drinkstheNYerVIPDined on 6/3/2014The food is amazing here and I highly recommend the green curry fried rice. But everytime I have come to Ngam, the drinks take forever to arrive even if it's just a Diet Coke. I have no clue why this happens!!Special Features:
- Thai findOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/31/2014The service was outstanding. Very popular. We were late and they went out of there way to make sure we had a spot. Busy from 6pm to 10:30 pm. Food was outstanding. They made sure the night was special for my best friend who had a birthday. Food was excellent and reasonable. TimSpecial Features:
- Friendly place. Good foodflyingpancakesDined on 5/28/2014Not your traditional thai restaurant. The chef has added innovative touches to the staples of thai food, such as the tom ka gai soup which was delicious.The crab salad special was also very good. Service is welcoming and friendly. We had a reservation at 7, right when happy hour was ending, but the waitress was kind enough to still include our drinks within the happy hour pricing. Sweet.Special Features:
- Inventive ThaiDakotashadowVIPDined on 5/21/2014A nice twist on Thai without being over-cute. Food can be spicy, so keep that in mind.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were so excitedotfanDined on 5/18/2014We were so excited to eat at Ngam based on the reviews of others. Unfortunately my chicken was very dry and not as flavorful as I would have expected from a Thai restaurant. My companion loved the sauce and flavoring of the Green Curry Chicken but again the chicken was over cooked. It was late so that may have been a contributing factor. Two of the dishes we had originally wanted were sold out and that was a disappointment again possibly due to our late (9:00) reservation??Special Features:
- Best Thai Ever!Kanders68Dined on 5/18/2014I had read all the wonderful reviews about Ngam, but was not prepared for the the restaurant at all... Tucked away with a tiny sign, Ngam is so true to its Thai cuisine.... It is very small...cooks and servers rushing around. ... Tables are very close, and it is very, very busy. ...not fancy by any means... We almost thought we had the wrong place! That having been said... It was amazing! The food was incredible and every dish made to order ! Absolute perfect in every way ... I could eat here every night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't go wrongdocalabroDined on 5/18/2014We were sat right away despite about 10 people waiting to be seated whe. We arrived (yay reservations). Server kept us well informed about changes to some dishes the chef made that night. God was very tasty. Great prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almereau ProlliusEatforlifeDined on 5/18/2014I had a lovely dinner here. The setting was cozy and the service was spot on. The duckling, one of their signature dishes, was the best I ever had. Refreshingly original, will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZINGlive2eatDined on 5/17/2014Believe me when I say that you can not go wrong with your choice of food here, but PLEASE try the Chiang Mai Fries!!!!!! They are INCREDIBLE!!!! Love this place. Can never go too often.Special Features:
- Wonderful flavorsrossDined on 5/8/2014Wonderful flavors. Traditional pad thai and green curry were excellent. Papaya salad made a great starter--just the right amount of heat and very unusual with strawberries and kiwi. Like most popular Manhattan spots, people were packed in pretty tightly and the noise level was pretty high but that's just part of the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 245 reviews are from the Ngam reviews archive.
- Probably worse Thai I have eatenUsascouserVIPDined on 5/4/2014Unfortunate, read good reviews online but my experience was very bad. We ordered four dishes and all four were bad to horrible. The soft shell crab soup came out lukewarm (and that is being generous), the kao plad noodle dish was way too spicy for a normal diner (note, I can eat very spicy food, an average vindaloo no problem), the sticky rice had some plastic piece imbedded in it which was "nice" to chew on, the fish dish was so over fried as to render an year meat on it inedible. Server tried to redeem by comping the soup and rice but the damage was done, will never go back...
- UnderwhelmingOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/3/2014Came here because a website claimed this to be a good brunch spot. But was greatly underwhelmed. (1) The $24 brunch is suppose to include a main AND a side and a drink. They changed it to just a main and drink. NOT worth it. (2) Besides the appetizer with calamari, shrimp, etc, the mains just weren't that good. (3) Host was SUPER slow. Took over 15 min to even get a check. Never going back again.
- The best!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/30/2014One of my favorite places in the city. My go to to bring visiting friends. Everything I have had has been amazing. Everytime. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gem in NY!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/29/2014Ngam was our first restaurant experience in NYC for our honeymoon. It really set the bar high for the rest of the culinary portion of the trip. When we arrived, we were greeted by "Hong" the owner. She is such a sweet woman with a strong and delightful presence. We loved all of the dishes. Recommend: chiang mai fries, surf and turf platter for 2, soft shell crab, lamb massaman curry, and authentic pad thai! The flavors were rich and complemented each other well without any being overpowering. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. If you're in NY, try it out!Special Features:
- DisappointingAnkypankyDined on 4/27/2014Came here for brunch on Sunday and did the brunch special (unlimited mimosas and 1 entree). Mimosas sucked - couldn't taste the champagne at all. And even though it was supposed to be a pomegranate chilli mimosa, it tasted exactly like Ocean Spray Cranberry juice. Ordered the papaya pad Thai with tofu. It was kind of bland. Nothing like the Papaya salad at Zabb e Lee on 2nd ave. Overall, the place itself is cool and inviting but the food and drinks are not noteworthy.Special Features:
- Best Pad Thai I've ever had.jmztDined on 4/25/2014Dined at Ngam on 4/25/14. The "Old School Pad Thai" was the best I've ever had. My fiance had the Drunken Noodles, which he enjoyed quite a bit as well. The service was outstanding. Slightly noisier that I would have liked but didn't detract from dinner. The decor is awesome and vibrant.Special Features:
- GoodSaltLoverDined on 4/22/2014My friend and I decided to try Ngam before catching a movie. We made reservations for Tuesday but arrived about 10 minutes early and they were able to accommodate us. It was not very crowded. It is an open kitchen so right as you walk in, the smell comes right at you. We are a bit picky about this as we do not like leaving a restaurant with our clothes smelling. The food was good, not superb. My friend had the pad thai and I had the sea bass. We both thought our dishes could use a little less salt. But overall, it was a good meal.I would recommend this to a friend.

They do not pay enough attention to customer's need. My husband had to raise his hand in the air for some minutes to get their attention.Special Features:

Cenchrus setigerus Vahl
C. setiger Vahl.
Birdwood grass (Australia), mode dhaman grass (India).
Cenchrus setigerus is a tufted perennial up to 60 cm tall with flat or folded leaf-blades. False spike dense, 1.5-9 cm long; spikelets 3-4.5 mm long, surrounded by a rigid involucre 3.5-5 mm long, the outer bristles minute or absent, the inner flattened, grooved on the back. Each cluster of spikelets contains one to three caryopses. The inner bristles, in contrast to C. ciliaris, are glabrous connate for 1-3 mm from the base, flat and rigid throughout (Harker & Napper, 1960).
Northwest India and north-east tropical Africa.
500-800 m.
It is adapted to arid and semi-arid climates with a long dry season and responds very quickly to light rains.
It is very tolerant of drought and will grow in areas of annual rainfall as low as 200 mm, making it excellent for improvement of low rainfall grazing land. It is more tolerant than C. ciliaris.
It prefers light-textured sandy soils but does well over a wider range of soils than C. ciliaris (Suijendorp, 1953).
Birdwood grass spreads only slowly where seed is incorporated in the soil by animal treading or cultivation.
Land preparation for establishment
The land needs some cultivation or the seed can be sown aerially or by hand in the ashes of a burn, for example after felling and burning Acacia cambagei scrub in brown clay soils of central Queensland, Australia.
Sow aerially in ashes or through modified cereal drills. Hand broadcasting is suitable for small areas.
Seed is usually sown on the surface and covered with harrows or bushes dragged across the sown area. Seed should not be covered to a depth greater than 2 cm.
Sow just before the usual rainy periods in summer at the rate of 1.5-3.0 kg/ha depending on seed supplies, cost and rapidity of cover desired.
350 000.
Seed treatment before planting
It can be treated with lindane dust to deter removal by seed-harvesting ants.
The young seedling is quite vigorous.
Vigour of growth and growth rhythm
It is not a vigorous grower and its tussocky nature does not provide a great deal of bulk.
Birdwood grass, once established, withstands grazing well. Cutting at 30-day intervals gave the highest yields in Rajasthan, and cutting height (5, 10 or 15 cm) made no difference.
Once established, birdwood grass can stand heavy grazing. To thicken the stand it should be allowed to seed every two to three years.
Fire will remove the dry top growth, but unless the fire is very severe the plants will recover well after rain.
Dry-matter and green-matter yields
In India, cutting at ten-day intervals yielded 400 kg DM/ha and cutting at 60-day intervals (during 1970-72) yielded 2 120 kg DM/ha (Shankarnarayan, Dabadghao & Kumar, 1977). At Jodhpur, Rajasthan, average monthly yields per plant were 45 g, 3.2 g and 11.9 g in 1968-69 (rainfall 178.8 mm), 1969-70 (92.7 mm) and 1970-71 (504.8 mm) (Gupta, Saxena & Sharma, 1972). At Victoria River Downs, Northern Territory, Australia, it yielded 679 kg DM/ha per year over three years (Pearson, Hill & Allen, 1979).Iö
Suitability for hay and silage
Birdwood grass, if in areas which can be mown, makes useful hay, though the yield is not high. No record is available of its use for silage.
Value as a standover or deferred feed
Because of its hardy nature and ability to grow in low-rainfall areas, birdwood grass is a valuable standover feed in these areas. Care must be taken to prevent grass fires in these arid climates.
No toxicity has been reported.
Birdwood grass matures in eight weeks and seeds heavily. The seed can be hand picked or harvested mechanically with cereal harvesters or special grass-seed harvesters. The seed is a cluster of spikelets surrounded by hard scales.
Introductions into Australia exhibit two distinct seed clusters one is light straw-coloured and the other brown or black (Barnard, 1969).
There are no major diseases.
Its drought resistance, hardiness and palatability, and its non-fluffy seed, making the seed easier to sow than that of C. ciliaris.
Its tussocky nature and lack of bulk.
Optimum temperature for growth
Probably 30-35°C. It is extremely tolerant of heat and drought.
Minimum temperature for growth
It does not respond well to winter rain.
It survives frost.
30°N and S.
Maximum germination and quality required for sale
Germination is poor. Germinate at 20-35°C moistened with water. 20 percent germination and 60 percent purity in Queensland.
There are no major pests.
Birdwood grass is quite palatable and readily accepted by stock. It is grazed in preference to Cynodon plectostachyus in Kenya.
It flowers in shortening days.
Chemical analysis and digestibility
Göhl (1975) notes one record from Dougall and Bogdan in Kenya. Fresh material at the early-bloom stage contained 18.6 percent crude protein, 28.3 percent crude fibre, 11.9 percent ash, 1.9 percent ether extract and 39.3 percent nitrogen-free extract.
Open dry bush and grassland, usually on alkaline soils.
FAO Nos. 8688 and 8703 at altitude 670-680 m, 8 and 13 km south of game post Ewaso Ngiro, Kenya came from flooded ground.
In areas where birdwood grass finds its most valuable niche it is uneconomical to fertilize, but it will respond to nitrogen and phosphorus.
Compatibility with other grasses and legumes
It will grow with S. humilis but tends to dominate (Norman, 1962b).
Birdwood grass is apomictic but pollination is necessary to endosperm formation and seed set. The chromosome number is 2n=34, 36, 37 (Fedorov, 1974). Haploids with C. ciliaris have been found in Kenya.
A valuable grass throughout the arid and semi-arid tropics.
In the Rajasthan desert area, C. setigerus carries one sheep to 2.6 hectares in Jodhpur, and to 6.01 hectares in Pali. In the Pindan country in the West Kimberleys, Western Australia, characterized by sand plains and sand dunes, birdwood grass introduction with 50 kg double superphosphate per hectare every two years has lifted live-weight gain from 30-50 kg/ha to 72-116 kg/ha, and with mineral supplements live-weight gain reached 146 kg/ha in the wet season, January to May (Holm & Payne, personal communication, 1975).
Seed has some physiological dormancy, the germination rate increasing up to two years after harvest.
Its tussocky nature, lack of vigour, bulk and persistence makes it of minor value in erosion control, but it would help to set up some barrier against moving sand. It is useful in the Northern Territory of Australia (Robinson, 1978).
It occurs frequently on alkaline soils in the Rift Valley, Kenya.
Suijendorp, 1953.

Arkansas vs. South Carolina Kickoff Scheduled For 11:00 am Kickoff - Televised on CBS
It's another early-riser for the Hogs in Columbia. We're not sure why CBS wanted this game, but they apparently do, so it will be done. It's a pre-noon kind of year for the Razorbacks. We can just play the games on Friday nights from here on out as far as I'm concerned.

I'm done trying to figure this thing out. I really, truly don't care if this is a better team without Rondo or if they just happen to be playing better without him. Either way, what they are doing right now is working, and working well.
Earlier this year I (melodramatically) said that a similar 6 game win streak (on the heels of Avery Bradley's return) "saved the season." Well, by that logic, this 7 game streak (on the heels of losing Rondo and then losing Sullinger) might very well have saved the team from detonation.
Two weeks ago, we were staring at the 8 seed and wondering if Ainge would just decide to set the charges and give the all-clear to the demolition crew. Then Rondo went down and it almost seemed inevitable, ...for about half an hour. Then the Heat win happened. Fast forward to now and where are we? Well, we're in the 7th seed and just a half game out of the 6 seed (behind an Atlanta team that is shopping Josh Smith).
Frankly, I'm not sure how much it matters what seed the Celtics end up with anyway. Do you think any team wants to face Boston in the playoffs? True, some of Rondo's greatest moments have been in the playoffs and we'll miss that element. But as last night and the last 2 weeks should remind us, this team still has two Hall of Famers with enormous amounts of pride. They know full well that this could be their last ride together (man, how many times have I used that line over the years and every time it has seemed perfectly legit).
You never count out a team that plays championship defense and Kevin Garnett is not going to allow this team to give anything less. You can likewise never count out any team featuring Paul Pierce, regardless of how far the chips may be down. The team will have to rely more heavily on those two down the stretch and into the playoffs, so fatigue will be a concern.
However, the supporting cast has been stepping up as well. Jason Terry is ...well, looking like the JET again. Jeff Green is flat out playing his best basketball since becoming a Boston Celtic. Avery Bradley is who we thought he was and then some. Courtney Lee has had some big games in this stretch. Same goes for Barbosa and Bass as well. This is the kind of execution that Danny Ainge was envisioning when he put this team together.
But how far can it take us without Rondo? It always comes back to the Heat doesn't it? They've already proven that they can beat the Heat in one game. That's encouraging but ultimately not worth a whole lot once the second season starts. The Heat have the best record in the East and you get the feeling that they haven't even really turned it on yet. They now have a continuity that comes with playing with each other for years and when all else fails, they can hand the ball to LeBron and let him win a game all by himself (like he did in game 6 last year).
Still, in a 7 game series, the Celtic defense will frustrate the Heat in ways they aren't used to. They'll have to account for Pierce and Garnett and this time they can't pack the paint daring Rondo to shoot. Which leaves driving lanes for Jeff Green and others. It is going to be a big, big challenge. But this team will not be intimidated by it in the least. They will stare down the Heat and growl in their faces.
Of course, it has to get that far first. There's a lot of time left and as we've learned, a lot can happen in a short period of time. We've still got a trade deadine and 32 games left before the playoffs begin. The Knicks, Nets, Pacers, and Bulls (with Rose back) are not to be overlooked or dismissed either. Each is dangerous and talented in their own right.
But so are the Celtics and that's the wonderful thing about this 7 game streak. The whole narrative changes from "will they blow it up" to "how far can they go?" That alone is something to celebrate and appreciate.

KHQ.COM - When traveling by plane, we all would like to assume that our travel bags are safe and secure and that when we get to our destination, all of our belongings will arrive with us. This may not be the case. 400 TSA employees have been fired for stealing from passengers and for the first time, the Transportation Security Administration is releasing the list of the airports where those employees worked in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Where did this happen? At many airports across the country and the highest theft levels occurred at some of the busiest and largest airports in the country. TSA employees stealing from passengers is not a new occurrence, it has been happening since 2002.
ABC news investigated the stealing by leaving behind ipads at security check points at ten airports across the country with a history of theft. An ipad left behind at the Orlando Airport was tracked to the home of a TSA employee 30 miles away. The employee, Andy Ramirez, at first denied taking the ipad but later handed it over saying his wife had taken it from the airport. Ramirez, of course, was fired.
The other nine ipads left behind were returned to ABC news.
29 employees were fired from Miami International Airport which topped the list at having the most problems with theft. New York's JFK international airport was number two on the list and fired 27 employees. Third was LA International with 24 firings.
The rest of the top 20 airports with reported issues with stealing are:
4. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 17 thefts
5. Las Vegas-McCarren International Airport, 15 thefts
6. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, 14 thefts
6. New York-Laguardia Airport, 14 thefts
8. Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, 12 thefts
8. Philadelphia International Airport, 12 thefts
8. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 12 thefts
11. Orlando International Airport, 11 thefts
12. Houston-George Bush INtercontinental Airport, 10 thefts
12. Salt Lake City International Airport, 10 thefts
14. Washington Dulles International Airport, 9 thefts
15. Detroit Metro Airport, 7 thefts
15. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, 7 thefts
17. Boston-Logan International Airport, 6 thefts
17. Denver International Airport, 6 thefts
17. San Diego International Airport, 6 thefts
20. Chicago O'Hare International Airport, 5 thefts.
While not all of the stealing has occurred from TSA employees actually opening up passenger bags, one way to protect yourself is to lock your luggage. Even with the heightened security at airports, passengers are still allowed to lock their bags. All bags are screened and if is it determined that your bag needs to be physically inspected, TSA employees can break your lock and will then leave a notice in the bag that it was inspected.
This story was filed and written by KHQ's Nichole Mischke. Email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What do you think?
Do you lock your luggage when you travel?
Have you ever been a victim to theft while traveling?

Wisconsin has been a team that has always looked east and south when it comes to recruiting in football and basketball and now with the move to add Maryland and Rutgers Wisconsin football head coach Bret Bielema sees some advantages to the dramatic move east. Especially when it comes to recruiting.
"Like I said, when the divisions were made, I really like where we're at just from a standpoint we've traditionally recruited more east than west, so that part is intriguing to me," Bielema said at his Monday press conference. "It draws that much more attention. But it's probably a decision they're not going to poll the coaches on. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the case."
All you have to do is go back to Wisconsin's last Heisman trophy winner to know how important the east coast has been to the Badgers. Some guy by the name of Ron Dayne just happened to come out of the state of New Jersey.
Now fast forward to the present and New Jersey is an area the Badgers have been hitting hard once again in hopes of gaining a foothold. This past class saw D.J. Singleton added (will be a freshman for them this spring) and they recently received a huge commitment from 2013 four star running back Corey Clement out of that state.
With the Big Ten adding Rutgers it can only help a school like Wisconsin gain a bigger advantage in recruiting players as it'll be easier to put parents at ease about coming so far away from home for school and football. They'll be able to see their sons playing football from the comfort of their homes without having to pay extra on their cable or satellite bills and the Big Ten is a much bigger draw than playing in the Big East. Especially when the conference actually has some attention out there.
If rumors hold true and Rutgers becomes a member of the Leaders division alongside the Badgers it could add some instant intensity to games as recruiting battles between the two are pretty heated already, at least according to Bielema.
"I think that on the East Coast, when we are recruiting out there, probably more so Rutgers than Maryland right now, at least football-wise, we do go against Rutgers quite a bit in recruiting when we're in New Jersey, New York, even in — on the eastern side of the country in Florida as well, we go against Rutgers quite a bit." Bielema said. "So that part must be real."
What was made clear by commissioner Jim Delany today is that demographics made this move necessary more so than anything else, at least in terms of helping member institutions stay competitive. With that move there may be no school inside the Big Ten not named Penn State that stands to benefit from this move than the Badgers.

News: Young Buck Talks Life After G-Unit, "I'm Still Considered A Platinum Artist"
Saturday, Oct 17, 2009 4:53PM
Former G-Unit member Young Buck recently reflected on his life after being "kicked" out of 50 Cent's camp and said he has now learned from his past mistakes within the music industry.
According to Buck, he is now ready to leave his Unit comparisons and venture out for himself.
"I won't say that I'm perfect or that I've done everything right out of this situation but I've done more right than wrong," Buck said in an interview. "I'm man enough to admit my wrongs and correct [them]...It was a phase in my life that came and went and it was good while it lasted but right now it's about Buck...The second album is what they call the sophomore jinx, it's traditional that most artists' second record's numbers are lower than their first's numbers...I'm still considered a platinum artist. My first album went beyond platinum, second one gold...At this point I wouldn't consider myself number one in the mixtape game but I would consider myself definitely in the top three...To be honest right now I'm in Detroit, about 2 miles away from Eminem's studio, so you know my lyrical game is getting good." (All Hip Hop)
With the emergence of Buck on a number of mixtapes as of late, Juvenile recently told SOHH about the possibility of a UTP reunion.
"Yeah, I'm cool, I'm a business man," Juvenile said about a possible UTP reunion. "First of all, I want people to understand that and I am the owner of UTP. I want people to understand that I'm never gonna shy away from trying to do business. I was really the big push for Buck going to 50 because me and 50 was real cool and I looked at it like, 'Man, you could help me out by helping my dude because I can't really do nothin' for him right now. I was having a paper work crisis in that era when 50 came out and I did everything for 50 and I'm glad to see you on top, you know what I'm saying, and he said something good about me in his book, I appreciate that. It's all love with me, bruh. I like to see cats come up, I'm not on that kick, trying to bring a cat down, I get mad when somebody try to bring me down. That's the only problem we'll get out of it. I've seen Buck, I've done shows with Buck. We done got our puff on, it was cool, no problems." (SOHH)
Buck's dismissal from G-Unit was made public when 50 announced his decision last year on New York radio station Hot 97's now-defunct "Miss Jones in the Morning" program.
"You can look at it and see that's Game all the way," Fif said in the interview. "I was giving him a chance, giving him the benefit of the doubt. You can take this as an official notice right here, pretty much you can say, Young Buck is no longer in the group G-Unit, but signed to G-Unit [Records] as a solo artist." ("The Miss Jones Morning Show")
Buck recently spoke on his falling out with 50's rap group and took partial blame for their past beef.
"My whole strategy idea for coming back out and f*cking with this rap sh*t is totally opposite what motherf*ckers think I'ma do," Buck said in an interview. "I think a lot of motherf*ckers think I'ma come out [and] beef with 50 and holler 'F*ck G-Unit' and all of that sh*t. I ain't even looking to do it like that. I'm looking to just make straight god d*mnit good music and do my thing through the music...I'd rather just focus on making the music instead of dedicating energy to some sh*t that's meaningless. If we got a problem with each other, it is what it is...Maybe I got out of pocket a little bit because I played a part in the sh*t too. So I can't sit here and act like I ain't did sh*t. I just as much played a part of it as any other of the n*ggas I was with. Whether it was 50, Banks or Yayo or beefing with n*ggas unnecessarily. N*ggas had they reasons at the time for what they were beefing over." (Tim Video)

HARRISBURG — The leaders of Pennsylvania's largest universities say students will not have to bear the full brunt of state-level budget cuts.
University programs and staff will face reductions as well, they said Tuesday.
In what is becoming the most controversial part of Gov. Tom Corbett's first budget proposal, state funding for higher education is proposed to be slashed by 50 percent next year. The cuts will impact the 14 schools that make up the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and the four state universities — Penn State, Pittsburgh, Temple and Lincoln universities.
The total amount cut from the appropriations to the 18 schools tops $600 million. Graham Spanier, president of Penn State, said the 50-percent cut was the single largest percentage cut ever proposed for higher education in any state.
Mark Nordenberg, chancellor of Pittsburgh University, told the Senate Appropriations Committee that the cuts were "a fundamental retreat" from the agreement made by the state in the 1960s when Pittsburgh and Temple joined Penn State as state-related universities.
"The commitment from the commonwealth at that time was that it would provide levels of funding to these institutions that would open up large numbers of reasonably priced higher education opportunities," said Nordenberg.
State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Centre, chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said it was too early to assess whether the proposed cuts would be realized in the final budget.
"I think we have a commitment to higher education," said Corman. "It would be a mistake to go back on that."
The good news for Pennsylvania college students and families is that state funding cuts will not be balanced entirely by tuition hikes at Temple, Penn State and Pittsburgh.
At Penn State, tuition increases will be necessary, but cuts to programs and staff layoffs also will be part of the equation.
"Of course tuition will have to increase, but we can't put that big of a burden on our students," said Spanier. "About 75 percent of our expenditures are staff."
According to the university, Penn State has 96,000 students and 47,000 faculty and staff — a ratio of almost 2-to-1. The proposed $168 million cut in state funding equals 4 percent of the university's 2010-2011 budget.
Ann Hart, president of Temple University, said the school would look to combine programs to increase effectiveness and efficiency while also looking to tuition increases.
"We would obviously not put the full burden of this cut — were it to come at this level — on our students," said Hart. "None of us have ever contemplated simply passing it on to our students."
For Temple undergrads, it would work out to a 44-percent tuition increase if other options were not considered, said Hart. Instead, the university will look to "spread the pain across the institution."
The proposed budget eliminates $84 million in state funds from Temple, which equals about 7 percent of the school's 2010-11 operating budget.
At Pittsburgh, the proposed cuts would amount to $80 million, about 5 percent of the school's total budget.
During his budget address, Corbett said the cuts to higher education were necessary because state subsidies intended to keep tuition costs down had failed. He also suggested state funding for higher education should be redirected toward students rather than institutions.
"When it comes to higher education, we should do the same thing that we do in basic education. The dollars should follow the student," said Corbett.
On Wednesday, Spanier said the message of higher state spending on higher education has not been reflected in appropriations, as higher education has been flat funded during the past decade.
Since 2000, state spending on higher education in Pennsylvania has seen an 18-percent increase while the state's general fund has grown by 47 percent. The total operating budget of the state has increased 67 percent.
Charles Zogby, Corbett's budget secretary, defended the governor's decision to redirect state funding toward students rather than institutions.
"It's not about the institutions, but about the state dollars and the performance and results we are getting from those state dollars," said Zogby, who said some state schools have seen tuition increases of more than 100 percent in the past decade.
"I don't know that there is any level of state revenue that could keep up with those increases," said Zogby.
In the proposed budget, there is an $8-million cut in student grants for higher education through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.
The representatives from Temple, Pittsburgh and Penn State roundly disagreed with the administration's new direction for higher education funding.
"I think the notion that you walk away from that represents a policy choice that is not in the best interest of Pennsylvania," said Nordenberg.
Hart said the changes would force the schools to a business model more like private or independent colleges.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien was not the right man to raise the issues which a full, historic and proper discussion of the mandatory nature of this ancient and revered discipline of mandatory clerical celibacy for priests deserves.Given the challenges Christ's Church faces, and the necessary purification which she is undergoing, I doubt the question the question of mandatory celibacy in the Latin or Western Catholic Church is high on the agenda.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

EDINBURH, Scotland (Catholic Online) - Pope Benedict XVI's resignation of his office and the call for a papal conclave where his successor will be elected have brought a myriad of press reports, opinion pieces and editorials concerning the Catholic Church. Among the media's preoccupations is an old one, clerical celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church.
The most recent venture into that matter involved an interview by the BBC with Cardinal Keith O'Brien. I originally used that article to weigh in on the issue it raised, whether the Latin or Western Catholic Church practice regarding mandatory celbiacy among the men it calls to the order of priest might ever be relaxed to allow both celibate and married candidates in the discernment process.
Sadly, within a day, allegations regarding Cardinal O'Briens allegedly immoral behavior some thirty years ago emerged. I do not know the Cardinal. So, as I do with all thosewho are in ordered service to the Lord and His Catholic Church, especially Bishops, I presumed the best about him.
Further, given his recent strong defense of marriage as between only one man and one woman, I wondered whether he was being singled out by some who seek to remake the Church into their own image. There is no doubt that there are those - both within the contemporary culture and within the Catholic Church - who seek to argue that homosexual practice be given a moral and legal equivalence with true marriage and the family and society founded upon it.
Next, an announcement was made that the Cardinal denied the allegations and had sought legal counsel. My hopes continued. Finally, came the news on Monday February 25, 2013 that the Cardinal had sumitted his resignation. The timing was certainly of interest. My prayers are with him, with those making the allegations, and with the Church, and perhaps civil tribunal, which must judge them. These are trying times.
The Cardinal indicated he submitted his resignation in accordance with the requirements of his office on his 75th birthday, February 18, 2013 and that it was only accepted by the Holy Father on Monday Feb. 25, 2013. Of course, the details surrounding these allegations and this entire incident cast a cloud on his comments to the BBC. This turn of events, along with what I presumed was his inarticulate expression of his position, also renders him a less than helpful proponent of the issue.
However, I believe that the issue still merits discussion. The ancient practice of choosing celibate or married men for priestly ordination is still the norm in the Eastern Catholic Churches (Byzantine). The decision for marriage or consecrated celibacy is made prior to the first clerical ordination to the diaconate. Both married and celibate men can then be considered for ordination to the priesthood from the ranks of deacons. Bishops are always celibate and monastic. Even in the instances of married men ordained, as deacons or priests, those ordained clerics pledge not to remarry should their spouse die.
Rather than rely on one of the many secondary scholarly sources which surround the discussion of this matter - both for an against - I undergird my claim with a reference to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It should settle the truth of the observation for most, except perhaps a few traditionalist brethren who simply do not like the practice and may still be suspect of the Catechism. These paragraphs are taken from the treatment of Holy orders in Article Six of the Official Catechism of the Catholic Church. I commend this entire section to all who want to understand the issues surrounding the gift of ordained service to the whole Church.
The Catechism text contains important footnotes to sources of authority, drawn from the Scriptures and the Sacred tradition, which are well worth studying. Remember, if you want to know what the Catholic Church REALLY teaches, go first to the Scriptures and to the Catechism. In an age which reflects a decreasing respect for the Church, this task is essential! In addition, even in the ranks of those who are faithful Catholics, opinions can often be confused with official teachings of the Church.Here are the words of the Catechism:
"Only a baptized man (vir) validly receives sacred ordination." The Lord Jesus chose men (viri) to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry. The college of bishops, with whom the priests are united in the priesthood, makes the college of the twelve an ever-present and ever-active reality until Christ's return. The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible. "
"No one has a right to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. Indeed no one claims this office for himself; he is called to it by God. Anyone who thinks he recognizes the signs of God's call to the ordained ministry must humbly submit his desire to the authority of the Church, who has the responsibility and right to call someone to receive orders. Like every grace this sacrament can be received only as an unmerited gift. "
"All the ordained ministers of the Latin Church, with the exception of permanent deacons, are normally chosen from among men of faith who live a celibate life and who intend to remain celibate "for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Called to consecrate themselves with undivided heart to the Lord and to "the affairs of the Lord," they give themselves entirely to God and to men. Celibacy is a sign of this new life to the service of which the
Church's minister is consecrated; accepted with a joyous heart celibacy radiantly proclaims the Reign of God."
"In the Eastern Churches a different discipline has been in force for many centuries: while bishops are chosen solely from among celibates, married men can be ordained as deacons and priests. This practice has long been considered legitimate; these priests exercise a fruitful ministry within their communities. Moreover, priestly celibacy is held in great honor in the Eastern Churches and many priests have freely chosen it for the sake of the Kingdom of God. In the East as in the West a man who has already received the sacrament of Holy Orders can no longer marry." (CCC #1577 - 1579)
Now, to another aspect of this topic which some Catholics do not know, there are already married clerics in the Western or Latin Rite Catholic Church. First, there are married clerics in the Order of Deacons. The restoration of the Order was promoted by the Second Vatican Council. Its ranks are open to both married and celibate men. Remember, married men become clerics when they are ordained as deacons. They are no longer laymen. Thus the oxymoron "lay deacons" reflects a lack of good teaching and is just plain wrong.
The adjective permanent, often used to describe married deacons, does not change the nature of the ordination or what is sacramentally conferred with the imposition of the Bishops hands on the ordinand. A deacon is a deacon. Rather, it denotes the intention of the deacon to remain in that rank of ordered service. A transitional deacon intends to be considered for ordination to the priesthood.
Second, we have a growing body of married men who have been ordained to the Catholic priesthood. For these men the discipline of celibacy was dispensed by the Church prior to ordination. Most come from other Christian communities. The most visible and fastest growing of these priests are coming to us as a gift, through the Ordinariates established for groups of former Anglicans coming into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Sadly, many Press reports, opinion pieces and editorials often pose the question this way, "Should priests be allowed to marry?" That reveals either a complete misunderstanding of the issues and the history or an agenda. The real issue is whether already married men should be allowed to discern a vocation to the priesthood and, if chosen by the Church, to be ordained?
Consecrated celibacy is a prophetic sign and a gift to the whole Church which was instituted and lived by Jesus, demonstrated in the lives of many of the Apostles, confirmed in the earliest witness of the ancient Church and confirmed in the unbroken tradition of the Church. (See, e.g., Matt. 19:12)
Consecrated Christian marriage is also a prophetic sign and a gift to the whole Church, especially in an age which is so preoccupied with rejecting marriage at its own peril and replacing it with profane counterfeits. At the foundation of both chaste, consecrated celibacy and chaste, sacramental marriage is a call to live the nuptial or spousal mystery in which they both participate.
The consecrated celibate does so in an immediate and prophetic way, while the married man does so in a mediated way, through his chaste love with one woman and the couple's openness to life. Both responses have a prophetic dimension as well as a pastoral one. After all, when love is perfected and complete in the Resurrection there will be no marriage.
The teaching of Jesus on this is quite clear. In heaven there will be no marriage. (See, e.g, Mt. 22:30, Mk. 12:25) We will all be married to the Lamb and live in the eternal communion of Trinitarian Love where all love is completed and perfected. (See, Rev 19:7-10)
To use an old clich� some of my best friends are priests, both celibate and married. They are living their vocation to the priesthood with dignity and holiness. Within that community of celibate and married priests, there are different expressions in the one priesthood of Jesus Christ.
The Eastern Church, both Catholic and Orthodox, often assigns married priests to different types of ministry than celibate priests. Similarly, in the Latin rite, married men ordained to the priesthood serve in a manner that reflects and respects their state in life and offers its pastoral witness as a gift to the whole Church.
In the Eastern Catholic Church where there has been an unbroken tradition and practice of admitting both celibate and married men to the order of deacon and priest, the men must have married before ordination as deacons. In the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches we read:
"Clerical celibacy chosen for the Kingdom of Heaven and suited to the priesthood is to be greatly esteemed everywhere, as supported by the tradition of the whole church; likewise, the hallowed practice of married clerics in the primitive church and in the tradition of the Eastern Churches throughout the ages is to be held in honor."
"Clerics, celibate or married, are to excel in the virtue of chastity; it is for the particular law to establish suitable means for pursuing this end. In leading family life and in educating children married clergy are to show an outstanding example to other Christian faithful." (Canons # 373-375)
For the Press who may be reading this opinion piece and looking for some news, Catholics already have married clergy, deacons and priests. For Catholic Christians, we must learn from this fact and trust that the Lord is behind it. We must also trust that his plan for its placement in the one mission of His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Caththe Church is just that, His plan.He will unfold it through those whom he has chosen to lead His Church.
The prophetic witness of consecrated celibacy has endured beyond the ranks of celibate clergy. It is also preserved in the inspired vowed life of monastic orders, the sacrificial witness of religious men and women, and the increasing new ecclesial associations of lay men and woman, who have chosen it, not to avoid marriage, but to enter more fully into the very nuptial or spousal mystery that marriage also reveals, but in a unique and prophetic way.
When I was invited to Holy Orders as a deacon, I knew that it was a vocation. As a Married man I pledged to embrace celibacy if my wife should predecease me. My wife gave her consent. I soon came to understand the theology I had studied and have studied since; there truly is an ontological change which occurs at ordination. My life was turned upside down and has never been the same.
I personally believe there is room in the Catholic Church, East and West, for a both celibate and a married clergy, deacons and priests. Both consecrated celibacy and consecrated Christian marriage are a response to the universal call to holiness. They are also a gift to the whole Church because they both participate in the one nuptial or spousal mystery revealed in Jesus Christ.
However, what I personally believe is not the issue. It is what the Holy Spirit reveals in guiding the whole Catholic Church in this the Third Christian Millennium. For that, I look to the teaching office, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Clearly, Cardinal Keith O'Brien was not the right man to raise the issues which a full, historic and proper discussion of the mandatory nature of this ancient and revered discipline of mandatory clerical celibacy for priests deserves.Given the challenges Christ's Church faces, and the necessary purification which she is undergoing, I doubt the question the question of mandatory celibacy in the Latin or Western Catholic Church is high on the agenda.

Tiffany Shlain – A Declaration of Interdependence – Part 1
Tiffany Shlain, celebrated filmmaker and renowned founder of The Webby Awards, wants you to GET CONNECTED. And she has a fascinating story to tell.
In her new film Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death and Technology, she rallies audiences to participate in a "Declaration of Interdependence" that celebrates human connection throughout time and the role that technology and social media has in shaping our future.
You can see the trailer here:
Here's what she says in her director's statement about the film:
I hope that "Connected," will help create a global conversation about what it means to be connected in the 21st century. I believe that by engaging people to talk about connectedness in their own lives and in the world, the ripple effect of these conversations will have far reaching impact. Appreciating that this is a huge subject, I employ many tactics (humor, animation, archival and my own personal story) to attempt to untangle what interdependence and connectedness mean in terms of the history of the human species and moving forward. Through this journey, I wield a large magnifying glass to look at some of the absurd and beautiful behaviors of our species and our world. While the core components of humans desire to be "connected," have not changed since we first appeared on this planet, I believe a new zeitgeist is emerging through all these new technologies that are making our world smaller and more intertwined.
In Part 1 of our interview, we talk about Tiffany's upbringing, the work of her father (the late surgeon and author Leonard Shlain), her early career as a filmmaker and how she founded the Webbys.
Tiffany is an incredibly inspiring storyteller and we hope you enjoy hearing what she has to say.
Check out one of her TED talks for last year:
Be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments about what you do to stay connected.
Stay tuned for Part 2.

I have 3 players that i think will get very little minutes next year and future.
Sandi: he is not playing now and that likely will not change. I believe he is getting his diploma this spring. Love the Chooch train but things just havent panned out for him.
Lawson: Lawson has pretty much stayed the same as he was last year with a little less fouling and at times a jumper. He has played 14 minutes total the last 5 games. I dont see his minutes changing next year either.
Anthony Johnson: his minutes are starting to go down every game and he just hasnt improved at all from last year. He is not the shooter we thought he was going to be and sometimes has a bad attitude and still does really dumb things even though he is a technical Junior. With Bryson coming for Ronnie and Kendall coming for Terone, i see Anthony's minutes dropping significantly.
I love all these players and am so happy that they became Boilers but with the talent coming in and almost all players returning i just dont see them getting off the bench much unless they improve in a HUGE way. What do you guys think?

10 Years really has something going here, and I hope they stick with it. I disagree with the reviewers that say they sound exactly like their influences. A lot of bands sound similar these days, but 10 Years has their own music and definitely their own messages.
While it's true to say that people who like APC will probably like 10 Years that's not to say that 10 Years IS APC because that's simply not true.
It was the lyrics that really pulled me in through such songs as Through the Iris and Prey and the melodies, especially in the title track.
A few songs sound experimental to me, like Half Life, but c'mon, this is a developing band, and this is their first album.

A Declaration of Selfishness
My mother always told me that I should never, ever get pregnant or married in high school, and preferably not in college either. This sounds like typical mom advice (and hey, it kind of is), but my trip home during winter break made me finally appreciate this advice. Don't worry, I'm not pregnant. My mom always urged me not to have a kid in high school because that immediately takes away the only opportunity in your entire life that you have to be completely independent. Your late teenage years and early twenties are really the only time in your life that the only person you have to worry about is yourself. You don't have to worry about taking care of someone else or doing something for the benefit of others unless you really want to. It's your one opportunity to take care of yourself.
Upon coming back home, I realized that I was doing this all wrong. I finally realized that I was doing things for the sake of other people, and that I was allowing people and their behaviors to determine what I did and how I felt about things. I don't know about you, but to me, this seems like a completely backwards way to go about things, especially now at this point in my life. Recently, I've my life has experienced some changes, some I've made and some have been forced upon me, but I'm flowing with these changes and using them to my advantage to build a lifestyle that allows me to focus more on myself.
I don't want to sound like a teeny-bopper fashion magazine here, but I'm declaring 2013 as my Selfish Year. Not in a negative, "I'm not sharing my toys with you" kind of way, though. Selfish as in I will be focusing on myself, rather than others. A positive selfishness, if you will. A selfishness that allows me to stop placing my happiness at the mercy of others and that gives me the chance to pursue things that I enjoy purely because it's what I want to do. I'm going to revel in my independence, pay attention to my needs, and possibly invest in a pair of Steve Madden smoking flats simply because they're super cute and because I can. I've started a new chapter of my life and I want to face it head-on (apply directly to the forehead) and make the most of it.
This is the first time in much, much too long that I haven't felt that I'm relying on another person, whether it be friends, family, teachers, whoever. It's sad and it's scary, but it's true. However, I'm looking forward to it immensely. Eventually, I'm going to have to take care of other people, like a family or something (actually, 13 cats is probably more accurate), and I'm going to enjoy it, but also appreciate all the time that I was able to dedicate to raw, unadulterated selfishness.
I'm throwing myself into 2013 as a whirling dervish of selfish adventure. Are you?
