Mate Griffon To MareI'm writing a D/s erofic about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. Is that racist? Is it unfortunate implications? Will minority people be offended? I mean to arouse, not offend.

It's easy, mmkay?I spent a while debating with myself whether this was acceptable-then I realized what D/s stands for. Definitely not acceptable.
At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

You will have some people who find unfortunate implications in even the most innocent of things. If you try to avoid saying things about white's superiority over blacks (and vice versa), and concentrate on their relationship as people, I think you'll do fine. The racist-laden background of the time, people can understand. Edit: If you mean S&M.. this might be a doozy.

If you try to avoid saying things about white's superiority over blacksIt's told through Jefferson's eyes, and he sees Sally at first as a mental inferior for being a slave, but it's pretty unequivocally shown that he's wrong in this, and she's pretty damn intelligent.

I'm sure it'll be alright then. Some might still like to call implications regardless, since you're starting off with a biased viewpoint.

Mate Griffon To Mare...But it's still BDSM, and Jefferson's still the Dom. Even though I avoid the fuck out of racial terms and references, it's still lurking there in the background.

Then the women and men will likely find something to complain about also. Oh well. Go ahead and write it anyways. It might turn out good.

Ahr riverLeigh— are you making porn, porn with plot, or plot with some sexual elements? If it's one of the first two, don't even worry. If it's the third one, you should still be fine. The key is to make it clear that one relationship does not define the norm. You need to show something that basically tells the reader "This is not a one-way street." Maybe have some of Jefferson's servants gossiping about it in disgust, or use Deliberate Values Dissonance to your advantage.

Bigonkers! is MagicOr you could have the dom actually be very unwilling and it's the Sub who is telling him to "hit her harder with that tire iron". You can go even further and show that they do have a life outside of their fetish.

Ahr riverSexual life does not say anything about someone's day to day life. To change the interaction just to make it less "unfortunate" is just as unfortunately implicated as thinking sexual activities do reflect day to day lives.

Another long-serving public official will be hanging up his hat: Boston's longest-serving mayor, Tom Menino, won't seek a sixth term as head of the Bay State's capital city.
Menino, 70, has served Boston as the mayor since 1993, when he ascended to the position after then-Mayor Ray Flynn was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.
A Democrat, Menino was, and will likely continue to be, a powerful political figure in the state. He famously stayed out of the hotly contested Warren-Brown Senate race last year until September, less than two months out from Election Day, when he endorsed Democrat Elizabeth Warren. His endorsement was seen as a big get for Warren, a backing that was thought to help her with blue-collar Bostonians.
Menino will make a formal announcement about his retirement at 4 p.m. today, but he has already vocalized his decision to local media.
"It was a very difficult decision, when you have something you love, that you live 24/7 for the last 20 years," he told reporters this morning. "It's tough to say, 'No,' but there's a time and a place for everything," he said.

Let's get Plated! 5
Every time I visit New York, I'm exposed to some new fun product or service that I desperately want to try. Unfortunately, the majority of these "new fangled" indulgences are't available in Smalltown.
Until now, that is.
On a recent trip to Brooklyn, I was introduced to the concept of a recipe delivery service. Essentially, the vendor delivers a perfectly portioned amount of fresh ingredients, and accompanying instructions for a gourmet meal. It seemed to be the best of both worlds — the convenience of avoiding the grocery store and the comforts of a home cooked dinner. But surely, such a service wouldn't be available in my rural little corner of Minnesota, right?
A few weeks ago, a Facebook advertisement for Plated caught my eye. They claimed to deliver fresh ingredients to 80% of the Continental U.S. — could Smalltown possibly be part of that 80%?
I hastily entered my zip code, delighted to see that my address was eligible for delivery. I quickly signed up, ordered two different meals, and texted Scott with the exciting news.
His response?
"No. That's sacrilegious."
Apparently, this food snob skeptic was going to need some serious convincing in regards to my latest culinary endeavor. I crossed my fingers, hoping the recipes I'd selected would change his mind.
The meals were delivered a few days later, right on schedule.
The packaging was great, and the ingredients (which included fresh seafood) were in tact and perfectly chilled. I placed the goods in the refrigerator, anxious to prepare my first Plated meal with Scott later that evening.
The only problem? Scott was having no part of the prep work. I believe his exact words were, "This was you're idea–you deal with it."
My husband–who is practically a self-trained chef–cooks the vast majority of the meals in our household. My lack of experience (and fear of cooking fresh prawns) had me incredibly nervous. But my supper certainly wasn't going to cook itself. I took a deep breath, turned on the stove, and pulled out my very best skillet. It was go time.
Forty minutes later, I was plating my finished Southwestern Gulf Shrimp with Leeks and Asparagus. The craziest part? It actually looked good.
The really crazy part? It tasted good, too! Even Scott complimented my efforts. I couldn't believe it! Surely this was a fluke, and my next recipe would end in disaster.
But it didn't! I'd say the Soy Glazed Pollock with Pea Shoots and Miso Mashed Potatoes was even tastier than the shrimp.
The moment Scott asked me, "So how much would it cost to do this on a regular basis?", I knew I'd achieved success. I've since ordered two more meals, and can't wait to give them a taste.
Thinking about trying Plated? Here why I'm loving it:
- A variety of meals to pick from on the menu each week. There are always meat, seafood and vegetarian options.
- Nutritional info is clearly posted.
- The food is tasty.
- Instructions are clear and easy to follow. I also feel like I'm learning new skills!
- Portions are great. Scott eats a little more than I do, and the both of us are always satisfied after we're done. Sometime's we even have leftovers.
- Saves SO MUCH TIME since you don't have to plan and go to the grocery store. All you need from your own pantry is salt, pepper and olive oil. Plated handles the rest.
- Just the right amount of ingredients. I can't tell you how many times we buy waaaay too much food and end up wasting it by not using or eating all of it. With Plated, nothing goes wasted or unused.
- You can pick your delivery date so you know exactly when stuff is coming.
- The packaging is recyclable and biodegradable.
- Food is seasonable, locally sourced and sustainable whenever possible. Plated purchases meats from family owned purveyors and partners with Sea to Table to ensure seafood is wild-caught whenever possible.
- Plated donates all extra ingredients to local food banks.
- There's no monthly minimum.
- It's a great way to try new foods and recipes.
- Preparing the food is actually…well…fun.
The only con? Plated is a tad bit pricey…but I honestly believe it's worth the investment. You can purchase meals a la carte at $15 per plate, or sign up for an affordable monthly or yearly membership and score meals at just $12 a plate. They also have an awesome referral program where you can earn free plates by sharing Plated with others. (Full disclosure– all the links in this post are referral links, so if you order something, I get a little boost of credit.) I believe Scott and I are spending less with Plated due to fewer wasted ingredients, less trips to the supermarket and reduced urges to eat out as "we don't have any food at home".
Want to give Plated a whirl? You can learn more about it here.
Anyone else using Plated, or a similar service? Have you had your culinary ego inflated as much as I have?
(Here's hoping it doesn't deflate too much when I –gulp–make my first attempt at risotto this week.)
Note: This is not a sponsored post — Plated doesn't even know I'm writing it. I've simply enjoyed their services and wanted to spread the word!

Voluminous Bituminous
Al Gore and the Global Warm-mongers said if we kept on burning coal many would die—and they were right!
A coal mine shaft collapsed in northwestern China, killing 16 miners, an official said Saturday, highlighting the persistence of safety problems in the industry despite a leveling off of demand.
Another 11 miners were injured in the disaster, which struck just before midnight Friday in Tiechanggou township outside the Xinjiang regional capital of Urumqi.
China's mines are among the most dangerous in the world, although improved safety measures have vastly lowered the number of fatalities in mine accidents in recent years.
The government's China National Coal Administration reported 1,067 deaths in 604 coal mining accidents in 2013, down 23 percent from the year before. That's down from more than 6,000 a decade ago, largely due to increased inspections and the closure of small and unregulated mines.
Long-time readers will remember those heady days when we covered these collapses, explosions, floodings, asphyxiations regularly. In fact, this morning has a throw-back feel to it: Obama's corruption, anti-semitism, China's indifference to human life and the environment.
"Boy, the way Glen Miller played,
Songs that made the Hit Parade…
Those were the days!"
While China still produces and consumes almost as much coal as the rest of the world combined, the amount it burned in the first three quarters of 2014 was off by about 2 percent from the same period last year, according to Greenpeace energy analysts in China.
Don't worry. What China cuts, India more than makes up for:
Decades of strip mining have left this town in the heart of India's coal fields a fiery moonscape, with mountains of black slag, sulfurous air and sickened residents.
But rather than reclaim these hills or rethink their exploitation, the government is digging deeper in a coal rush that could push the world into irreversible climate change and make India's cities, already among the world's most polluted, even more unlivable, scientists say.
"If India goes deeper and deeper into coal, we're all doomed," said Veerabhadran Ramanathan, director of the Center for Atmospheric Sciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and one of the world's top climate scientists.
But what about all the mercury-laced CFL lightbulbs I put in? Surely, that'll make a difference.
Just because we're all doomed doesn't mean we have to frown all day.

Portland Timbers rename stadium
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
The Portland Timbers have reached an agreement with Providence Health & Services to rename their downtown stadium Providence Park.
FOX Soccer's Blog offers unique coverage of the world game. Join us.
The stadium, also home to the National Women's Soccer League champion Portland Thorns, has been named Jeld-Wen Field after the window and door manufacturer in the three seasons since the Timbers joined Major League Soccer in 2011.
Terms of the 15-year agreement with the health-care provider were not announced on Monday. Providence is Oregon's largest private employer.
As part of the deal, Providence Park will host the first Special Olympics Oregon Fall Games since 2008.
Jeld-Wen will continue to partner with the Timbers' community outreach programs.

Protein Microarrays Discover Angiotensinogen and PRKRIP1 as Novel Targets for Autoantibodies in Chronic Renal Disease
2011; 10 (3)
Biomarkers for early detection of chronic kidney disease are needed, as millions of patients suffer from chronic diseases predisposing them to kidney failure. Protein microarrays may also hold utility in the discovery of auto-antibodies in other conditions not commonly considered auto-immune diseases. We hypothesized that proteins are released as a consequence of damage at a cellular level during end-organ damage from renal injury, not otherwise recognized as self-antigens, and an adaptive humoral immune response to these proteins might be detected in the blood, as a noninvasive tracker of this injury. The resultant antibodies (Ab) detected in the blood would serve as effective biomarkers for occult renal injury, enabling earlier clinical detection of chronic kidney disease than currently possible, because of the redundancy of the serum creatinine as a biomarker for early kidney injury. To screen for novel autoantibodies in chronic kidney disease, 24 protein microarrays were used to compare serum Ab from patients with chronic kidney disease against matched controls. From a panel of 38 antigens with increased Ab binding, four were validated in 71 individuals, with (n=50) and without (n=21) renal insufficiency. Significant elevations in the titer of novel auto-Ab were noted against angiotensinogen and PRKRIP1 in renal insufficiency. Current validation is underway to evaluate if these auto-Ab can provide means to follow the evolution of chronic kidney disease in patients with early stages of renal insufficiency, and if these rising titers of these auto-Ab correlate with the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease.

(I think my problem is really just undiagnosed depression, hence lack of willpower. I thought exercise might get me out of the rut, but it hasn't yet, maybe I should just start popping and the willpower will start to follow).
I know I could read up on this stuff, but that takes will power, and the only motivation I've got is to dispense opinion on message boards (so sad!).
I'm not claiming a great deal of expertise, but if you listen to a couple simple words of advice, I think I could help you more than you realize at first read through.
First of all, avoid processed foods.
You'd be surprised the impact that alone can have on your life.
Secondly, you didn't mention a goal, but I'm going to guess it's fat loss.
So take your body weight, multiply by 1.2 and make that your caloric intake.
If you can follow those 2 steps alone, you'll be shocked by the dramatic body transformation you can make in a few months by following ONLY those steps.
Now... if you're more athletic than you seem to be from a couple message board posts:
Then increase your calorie intake, but try and change your macros to:
40 pro (minimum!)/40 carb/20 fat (remember 1g of pro/carb/fat = 4/4/9).
Try to take the bulk of your carbs in the morning, or immediately following a workout.
Also, weight training is amazing. It'll boost your metabolism by AT LEAST 10% if you train semi-properly to upwards of 20%. On top of that, for every lb of muscle you gain, you're increasing the caloric fuel it takes to run your body. Adding muscle is fairly easy for beginners.
Best wishes in achieving whatever your goals are.

I only reinstalled the drivers. Will try newer drivers, but it would be odd as it is the same driver used throughout the school with no issues. But nothing suprises me anymore.
Ok when you swapped the board do you mean the complete interactive whiteboard itself? did you use the serial/power lead from the non working board with this second board or did you use the serial/power lead that was attached to the second board?
If you haven't then try swapping over the serial/power lead that clips into the electronics housing by depressing the latch on it.
If you identify that it is the cable at fault does it look like this TDS Promethean - Serial cable - DB-9... - CAB-SER-1 at Insight UK
Swapped the IWB.
The cables are all trunked in so will have to see if i have a spare lying somewhere.....
Ok well if it looks like the one in the picture and you don't have a spare PM your postal address and one will be winging it's way to you.
Right, I found a really short one...so stuck the one end into the Becta box and the other end into the back of the board (so lucky to have a friend who takes time out from her things to help me). PC still didnt pick up there was anything there...
I checked to make sure everything is ok in device manager which it is.
Out of pure frustrastion i stuck the Serial into the back of the pc to try and bypass the box....not sure if that was the right thing to do as i dont know if there was something special about this serial, but there was no explosion but still nothing...
I give up. I've looked at this from all different angles im getting myself confused....
Anychance of some pictures of the board and connectors etc...???
I can get you one of the inside of the Becta box after school.
See what i can do about the board.
I need to check the sound system too as if there is no sound there is something wrong inside the Becta box.
Sorry I went "off line" last week - I wasn't in, so have just seen that you are still having problems!.
Okay, just to clarify one thing - the only thing that is given power inside the BECTA box is the board. There is one PSU - which is a board PSU - this does not provide anything else power - i.e any audio - it is purely for the board - all audio on these systems was provided by an external powered amplifier (if they were Promethean installs that is!).
Anyway, I managed to get hold of an old Becta box we had lying around - these are the ones we supplied - anyway, I took a photo of whats inside (you may have more cables inside yours - ours has been butchered! :-) )
So, if you have no power going to your board, it is likely that the Board PSU has failed. The only thing you can do is...
a) ensure the figure 8 lead is going into the Board PSU (top left of box in the picture)
b) Ensure that the small DC (from the PSU) lead is plugged into the Serial cable inside the Becat box (centre of box in picture, with the blue and red "lines" going into it)
c) Ensure the "Board Connector" (outside of box in picture at the top) is plugged into the board.
Failing that, you could, if you have or can get hold of one easily to test - take a known working PSU, plug that externally into the mains, and plug that DC end (red "line" in picture) into the internal serial cable inside the Becta box (centre of picture) - Your board should then power up. This will tell you if it is the PSU that has failed inside the Becta box.
Hope this makes it eaiser to diagnose!
oooooh im so confused!!
It is a Promethean setup.
The point we've got to now is that i have power to the board.
I know its definately not the board as we physically swapped the board with another. The board from the "problem" room works perfectly in its new location.
We've managed to get power to the board so am now wondering if its a cable issue as the pen wont work on the board. The board reacts to the pen being on it, but if i try to right click and go to settings and connect the board it fails.
I've swapped PSU's
Swapped boards
If it's highly unlikey to be the becta box then it must be a cable. But then that confuses me as i had a small serial cable like this and it still didnt make a difference. Plexer has kindly offered to send me one...
will have to have a more thorough look at the sound as i cant get that to work either, must be missing something!!

It'll be in the post today didn't get chance last week.
Little-Miss (11th October 2010)
Ahhh - ok.
On the PC, uninstall the current version of ActivDriver, and install this one...
Reboot the PC.
Ensure that the serial cable, either from the BECTA box, or directly from the board is connecrted to the serial port on the PC.
Click on the Promethean icon in the system tray, choose "Control Panel" -> "Connections". In here, you should see a drop down list with some different ports in them. Normally, COM 1 will be the first - anyway, going through them in sequence, click on "Connect". Hopefully one will then say "connected".
Just one other thing, make sure, on the "front" of the BECTA box, the "switch" is set to whichever side you have your serial cable plugged into (i.e Computer 1 or Computer 2)
Ok, ive installed new driver, made sure switch was pointing the right way, even tried another serial cable....nothing!
When the classroom is empty im going to try the second serial socket on the box...
One other thing - if your PC is not miles away - do you have a 5m USB cable? - If so, you could plug this directly into the back of the board, and the other end into your PC - that would also rule out anything wrong with the serial port on your PC?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Official site for Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
On this week's episode of Postcards Summer Series, Rebecca Judd explores High Street in Prahran where she makes a beeline for 'Fenton & Fenton' to eye off all of the gorgeous home furnishings and artefacts on offer. Next she stops at 'Spoonful' where she indulges in some scrumptious baked goods, followed by 'Kate Hill Flowers' and then 'Petit Atelier', a cute little studio that hosts arts and crafts workshops for children. She also weaves her way through the CBD to seek out the unique Ovolo Hotel, before treating herself to some delicious fare at Pei Modern. Brodie Harper travels to Emerald where she takes a tour of 'The Little White House' – a cottage perfect for couples, and 'The General Food Store' which serves up delicious brunch and lunch dishes. Finally, Shane Crawford ventures to 'Basia Mille' in Waratah North to admire the luxury apartments, vineyard and olive grove on the property, before strolling over to Waratah Hills Vineyard for a taste of their renowned cool climate wines.
High Street Prahran, Fenton & Fenton, Spoonful and Petit Atelier
Fenton & Fenton can be found on High Street in Prahran, not far from Williams Road. It's full of eclectic and unusual home furnishings and artefacts collected by the owner on her travels around the world. The range at Fenton & Fenton reflects the owner's bold and adventurous spirit and expresses a style that dares to mix and match objects, origins and eras. The items sourced are unique, and you can even order bespoke furnishings and custom made rugs.
When it's time for a break from all that hardcore retail therapy, 'Spoonful' fits the bill perfectly as it's only down the road and you can usually find a spot at the welcoming communal table. The team at Spoonful focus on seasonal produce so the menu changes frequently, but what doesn't change is the high quality fare and the fact that delectable desserts such as meringue roulade are always on hand.
A couple of doors down from Spoonful is beautiful Kate Hill Flowers, where the freshest, premium quality flowers are transformed into works of floral art. And while the owner admits that her first love is creating high style wedding flowers, she also makes unforgettable bouquets and arrangements for any occasion.
Another stop that must be made along High Street is at Petit Atelier, a little studio that hosts arts and crafts workshops. In this space, children can make everything from jewellery and hair clips to robots and rockets in a friendly and playful environment. Petit Atelier also hosts children's birthday parties in its party room, which can be themed and set up using the best quality party supplies and decorations. The team also put on 'Mummy and Me' workshops for children from two and a half to five years of age.

The Little White House and The General Food Store, Emerald
Located in the quaint hills of the Dandenong Ranges, The Little White House is a couples retreat less than an hour from the city. Situated in Emerald, the one bedroom cottage exudes contemporary luxury and traditional elegance with its high ceilings and white walls. The deluxe double bath is the main feature of the generously sized ensuite and there's a fully equipped kitchen to cook up a delicious breakfast.
If cooking on holidays isn't your style, then why not treat yourself to a meal at the nearby General Food Store in Emerald. The General Food Store is a breath of fresh air for foodies in the hills who demand good coffee and quality café food. Although it may be small in size, the menu really packs a punch with favourites like the Arabesque, which comes with poached eggs, grilled halloumi, house made beetroot relish, hazelnut dukkah and spinach on sourdough. Another one of their hits is the Sultan's Swing – it's a traditional lamb shoulder and prune tagine, served with a simple salad of fennel, pomegranate seeds and mint.
One of the most popular things to do when visiting the Dandenongs is taking a ride on Victoria's most famous stream rain, the Puffing Billy. It stops off at Emerald Lake Park, which is another great attraction in the region. Emerald Lake Park is a beautiful spot to take a stroll, have a picnic or even hire one of their paddle boats!

Basia Mille and Waratah Hills Vineyard

With luxury apartments, a vineyard and olive grove, the property is both a stunning country escape and a spectacular beach getaway, with dramatic views of Wilsons Promontory. Spend time strolling around the new poetry walk, which explains the ancient Latin poem the property is named after, or try your luck at catching some trout in the lake. You can also drive over to nearby Waratah Hills Vineyard for a taste of their renowned cool climate wines. In the cellar door you can nibble on a local cheese platter, some tasty tapas or one of the daily specials.

Pei Modern and Ovolo Hotel
Pei Modern is a restaurant that's both hidden away and in plain sight. You'll find it right by the Sofitel Hotel, just off Collins Street in the city. Inside there's a Scandinavian aesthetic of pale, crisp furnishings and plenty of woodwork. The restaurant moves from a bar area with its own menu through to a comfortably designed main room and there's a generous outside terrace as well. The food is technically perfect and the simplicity of the exemplary produce speaks for itself.
Another Melbourne newcomer is the Ovolo Hotel on Little Bourke Street. It has been designed and inspired by the hidden laneways and gems that Melbourne is known for and offers effortless living without being far away from the action of the city. The Ovolo Hotel Melbourne has original artworks, luxurious bathrooms, quality furnishings and the occasional quirky touch to keep things interesting. There's a range of room types on offer, with everything from a brightly decorated studio to a spacious two bedroom penthouse with a terrace and a spa.

HoopsHype Germany rumors
Out of season, Nowitzki is candid, especially when asked about carrying Germany's flag in the Beijing Olympics. "That was probably one of my proudest moments of my life that day, leading my nation into the stadium -- 80 to 90,000 people in the stadium. I remember walking in there, and everything was a blur," Nowitzki said in a rare, sit-down interview on the Mavericks practice court. His German team finished 10th, but just being in the Olympic Village made the trip, he said. "The life, to me, in the village was unbelievable," he said. "You can sit and have lunch with your team and sit next to a Chinese wrestler or a Portuguese runner. It was just an unbelievable experience. I made it to beach volleyball one day, that was fun." nbcdfw.com
Telekom Baskets Bonn announced the signing of Patrick Ewing jr., son of Pat, a legend in the NBA. Sportando
McCandless said Pietrus considered going to Germany to have a regenerative procedure similar to the ones undergone by the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez. Boston Globe
Germany's coach Svetislav Pesic has announced the preliminary squad for the European Championship qualifier in the summer. As expected, NBA stars Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman weren't on the list. kicker.de
Coach Svetislav Pesic named 21 players for the German National Team Training camp. Germany will play the Eurobasket 2013 Qualification Round in the summer. Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman are not in the list, as expected. Sportando
Will Dirk Nowitzki be in the roster? Svetislav Pesic (Germany's head coach): "Nowitzki needs rest from everything, after the end of the season for Dallas Mavericks. We will have a meeting, if I am in Germany in June, about the possibility of him playing with us, this summer. We talked and we said we will be in touch in June. I will call him and we will meet to discuss, what he needs to do, if he is going to play with the national team or not". EuroHoops.net
heinnews: One of the goals of the German Bundesliga is to become the number one domestic league in Europe, overtaking Spain. You have seen Germany now a bit and know the Spanish ACB from your years there. What do you think about this goal? Maceiras: It's a very good question. When I was coming to the gym, I was thinking Germany is really the biggest hope for European basketball, if not the latest hope. I think the organization here is great. The teams are real professional organizations and very consistent. And this is the biggest market in Europe. And also the ethics of the German people is great for basketball. The combination is excellent. It's just a matter of keeping the development that the German basketball started some years ago. I think the league is getting better all the time. The teams are good and the organization of the games is good. The attendance is good. And I think this Bayern Munich project is something that can really push not just German but European basketball. So in my opinion they are going in the right way. And if they keep going how they are going then they have all the tools to become the best domestic league in Europe. HeinNews.com
Germany will need to finish in the top two of their group, or as one of the four best third-place teams in the six groups. "I'm thrilled because of this new opportunity," Pesic said. "For years, Germany put just too much emphasis on (Dirk) Nowitzki, but there is young talent that can create something new, yet - successful like in Dirk's most brilliant seasons." Does Nowitzki figure into Pesic's plans? "I believe that Nowitzki isn't expecting my call," Pesic said. FIBA.com
"He needs peace, a summer vacation. He has to think about his future. But, of course, we'll discuss his plans. "Germany lived on Dirk's glory for long time. Since the bronze in Indianapolis, silver at the FIBA European Championship in 2005, up to these days. "Because of the magnitude of his personality and basketball qualities, many other players were just - other players. "That wasn't bad, it was normal back in those days as Nowitzki is a true leader on the court, but I think that there is a new wave of players in Germany that can help to build new future." FIBA.com
Svetislav Pesic says he won't call up Dirk Nowitzki this summer, rips German Federation for depending too much on him. "Everyone depended a bit on him, the Federation and the other players of the NT. The hided behind him. Nowitzki is great, but he always was the problem solver. Too often they thought 'Dirk will take care of it'. TalkBasket
Dirk Nowitzki heard the news that the Dallas Mavericks will play two preseason games in Europe next October, one in Berlin in his native Germany and another in Barcelona, but sounded as if he might not actually believe it until owner Mark Cuban personally tells him so. The Mavericks and the league have not yet made it official and dates are not set, but a source has confirmed the trip. Nowitzki, who has long hoped for the team to be included in the NBA's international preseason schedule, has been left disappointed because Cuban has always declined the league's overtures to play overseas. "If that's really the case, I think it's awesome. I think it's been long overdue," Nowitzki said. "A couple years ago there was a game in Kolnarena [in Cologne, Germany] where Phoenix played Philly and everyone was like, 'Where are the Mavs at?' So it's been disappointing to see all these teams go over there and play and we were never a part of it. I think it's going to be great." ESPN.com
"I asked him, why are we never a part of it?," said Nowitzki, now in his 14th NBA season. "He said he doesn't like the travel and he loses a preseason game, basically. Those were his reasons and I understood." But now Cuban doesn't have the option to decline. The league changed the rules and so Nowitzki will finally play a game, albeit a preseason one, in a Mavs uniform in front of family and friends on his home soil. "Obviously, the travel always sucks, especially if you're only over there for a week and it usually takes a couple of days to adjust and the next thing you know you're leaving again," Nowitzki said. "But I think it's going to be an experience for all the guys to see something new and get out of the hotel some and see a different country. Berlin is a fun city. Barcelona, to me, is one of the best cities in Europe, so if that's going to happen then I think it's going to be a great trip." Said Cuban: "I could pass on the trip. I just wanted to do it for Dirk." ESPN.com
Having seen promising young guard Rodrigue Beaubois go down playing for France and now seeing face of the franchise Dirk Nowitzki nursing an injury and out of Dallas' lineup after playing for Germany, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he will continue the uphill battle to make international basketball off limits to handsomely paid NBA players. Cuban has argued that NBA owners should not be saddled with the full risk of their players suiting up for their countries in the offseason, and he said other owners agree with him but aren't as vocal in their opposition.

Tas Melas: Dirk Nowitzki wins "German Athlete of the Year" and produces a very Dirk-esque photo: http://bit.ly/virmum Twitter
J. Michael Falgoust: Durant's agent says discussion w/German team "serious" & he will go if terms are met #nbalockout #okcthunder Twitter
Emiliano Carchia: Wolfgang Heyder, GM of @BroseBaskets, confirmed he spoke several times with Dirk manager Geschwindner in the latest days. "We had a lot of phone calls in the last days.He said Dirk will play in Europe just if the NBA season will be cancelled" said Heyder on Dirk Twitter
Three German teams have emerged as the strongest contenders to sign Nowitzki should the lockout drag on: Reigning champions Bamberg, big-spending newcomers Bayern Munich and ALBA Berlin. Bamberg is the only team of the three to be playing in the Euroleague this season with Real Madrid and the other top clubs on the continent. World soccer power Bayern Munich is relatively new to the basketball scene in Germany, but Nowitzki's national team coach, Dirk Bauermann, is also Bayern's coach and Nowitzki is close with some of Bayern's soccer stars, such as Bastian Schweinsteiger. Another potential lure for staying home: Kevin Durant's ongoing negotiations with German club BBC Bayreuth raise the previously unfathomable possibility of Durant and Nowitzki -- last seen dueling in the Western Conference finals -- rekindling their rivalry on Nowitzki's turf. "In this situation," Nowitzki said, "you've got to look at every option." ESPN.com
Emiliano Carchia: Heyder, manager of @BroseBaskets, said that a return to Germany of Dirk Nowitzki is very realistic. 'If we reach Top16 there will be more chances for us to get Dirk (if the NBA season will be fully cancelled)'. Bamberg has already checked the financial details of signing him. Twitter
According to a SPOX.com article, Durant's agent has called the Beko BBL club out of the blue and both sides are in serious contract negotiations since. According to Bayreuth GM Manfred Schöttner, a decision could come as early as today or Wednesday. k1x

Wales Area GuideA View of Llangollen, Wales Image courtesy of Flickr user Proadventure.co.uk Activities
Wales is a generally mountainous, rural country. As one of the modern Celtic nations, Wales has its own culture, language, holidays and customs, but it is still British. The official languages are English and Welsh, though only about one-fifth of the population speaks Welsh fluently.
During the Industrial Revolution, the country found itself in the midst of a boom. It was mineral-rich, so mining became central to the economy. In 1920, at the peak of coal production, coal miners and their families made up a third of the Welsh population.
Now, the economy has modernised into a post-industrial economy, and many of the jobs now are in the service sector. Livestock farming, though not as large as in the past, is still a dominant industry. About 78% of the land in Wales is used for cattle and sheep farming. Sheep farming is so tied to the Welsh national identity that it is commonly said that the population of sheep in Wales is four times greater than the population of humans. This is an exaggeration, but not by much. The 2011 census found more than 3 million people were living in Wales, and the June 2011 Survey of Agriculture and Horticulture counted 8.6 million sheep.
The landscape also provides the Welsh economy with another industry - tourism. There are three national parks and 45 Blue Flag beaches, which, along with Wales's distinct culture, brings in large numbers of visitors each year.
Most of the 3 million Welsh residents live in South Wales. The cities of Cardiff, Swansea and Newport are the largest in the country, and a significant number of people also live in Wrexham in the north.
Wales is not particularly diverse: 96% of the population is white British, and only 2.1% were not white. Of those 2.1%, most people identified themselves as British Asian. Only about a quarter of the Welsh population was born outside of Wales, and those who were came mostly from England.
The Welsh government oversees an education system that is vastly different to the one in England. In the 19th century, the English government banned the speaking of Welsh in schools, which led to a programme of strict suppression of the language. In the last half of the 20th century, Wales took over its education and quickly introduced Welsh language classes to prevent the language from dying out. This eventually led to non-language classes and even entire schools being taught exclusively Welsh. Even in schools were English is used, Welsh is a required subject until the age of 16.
Despite its rural nature, Wales has a large number of schools. There are more than 1500 primary schools, more than 200 secondary comprehensives and around 50 independent schools. Estyn, the education inspection service in Wales, grades primary schools but does not put them into bands of performance. As such, each primary school must be looked at individaully. The Welsh government found that - generally speaking - the best primary schools are in Cardiff North and in other city suburbs, though this is by no means true in every case. Tongwynlais Primary School in Cardiff and Treorchy Comprehensive School in the Valleys are amongst those to be awarded a "double-excellent" score, meaning they got highest marks in every category during inspections.
Secondary schools are grouped into bands, with Band 1 being the most successful schools based on GCSE exam performance and pupil attendance and Band 5 being most in need of improvement. Neath Port Talbot and Swansea have the most Band 1 schools, with six and five respectively. Amongst the Band 1 schools are Bishopston Comprehensive, Cwmtawe Community School and Mary Immaculate High School.
Wales also has 12 universities. Cardiff University and University of Glamorgan are the largest, and the first university established in the country is the University of Wales.
The main road is the M4 motorway that links the cities and villages along the southern coast, while the A55 connects the towns and villages in the north. The A470 runs from north to south, going from Llandudno to Cardiff.
Cardiff International Airport is the main airport, and Wales has four commercial ferry ports connecting Holyhead, Pembroke and Fishguard to Ireland.
Wales is also fairly well connected by rail, especially when travelling east and west. Travelling north and south in Wales often requires going through the English towns of Chester and Shrewsbury. Cardiff in particular has a lot of train travel. The busiest stations are Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street, and Cardiff also has its own urban rail network.
Amenities and Shopping
Wales is renowned for its distinctive culture. Many of the activities in Wales centre on maintaining the traditions, passing them down from generation to generation while tourists join in.
Wales has a long and varied history, and it is preserved in the National Museum Wales. The museum has sites in seven areas of the country, including in Cardiff, Blaenavon and Newport. The National Library of Wales is in Aberystwyth, and in addition to its comprehensive collection of printed works, it also has collections of portraits, photographs, maps and more.
Traditional music is a large part of Welsh culture. The Welsh Folk Song Society publishes folk songs, and the Cerdd Dant Society promotes a traditional form of vocal improvisation.
Wales also offers classical music, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Welsh National Opera and the National Youth Orchestra of Wales all performing in Wales and internationally. There are also many male voice choirs. These were first founded in the 19th century, and many of the historic choirs still sing today.
Dancing popular in the country, too. The Welsh Folk Dance Society maintain the many folk and clog dances. Cardiff has been the home of contemporary dance since the 1970s, when Moving Being moved from London to Cardiff and when The Dance Company of Wales was founded.
Since the 19th century, most larger towns have had theatres, and playwrights and actors alike have found inspiration in the Welsh hills. When television began to challenge the stage, Welsh theatres raised their game, staging shows by Welsh playwrights like Emlyn Williams and Alun Owen. This strong tradition continues to this day.
Wales often plays on the world stage, with teams playing in the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup, Rugby League World Cup and the Commonwealth Games.
Football is incredibly popular in Wales, and it has its own league, the Welsh Premier League. Two teams, Swansea City and Cardiff City, play in the English Football League.
Rugby union is tied closely to the Welsh national identity, and the country has four professional teams: the Scarlets, Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons and the Ospreys.
Because Wales has a strong national identity, it has many festivals. The National Eisteddfod celebrates Welsh music and poetry, and Welsh residents participate in parties and concerts on Dydd Santes Dwynwen, the holiday that commemorates St Dwynwen, the Welsh saint of love. St David's Day, on 1st March, is the feast day of Wales's patron saint, and it is the day in which Welsh people and those with Welsh heritage celebrate the nation and its contributions to the world.
Cardiff is the main shopping destination in the country, as it has all the high street shops and six Victorian arcades that are filled with independent shops selling violins, cheese and everything in between.
Many Welsh villages specialise in particular kinds of markets and shops. Hay on Wye is the home of the Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts, and it maintains its reputation amongst readers by having almost 40 second-hand bookshops. Abergavenny has several markets, including a craft market, a farmers market and an antiques market. Narberth is an arts and crafts town that is known for its talented craftspeople and its artisan sausages. Betws-y-coed is a great place to get kitted out for an outdoor adventure, and it also has the Trefriw Woollen Mill, a mill that has been weaving Welsh tapestry bedspreads for a century.

One of the nation's best-known and most accessible treasures has been shut while preservationists work to remove green paint splattered on the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C.
Authorities do not guard the Lincoln Memorial at night, although it normally remains open to the public. Police might be able to glean something from surveillance footage, but at this time there are no suspects in the act of vandalism.
The good news is that the National Park Service says no permanent damage was done.
On the wall behind the giant statue of one of America's favorite presidents reads this inscription: "In this temple as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the union the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever."

From our friends at Ontario Clean Air Alliance:
Over the past 5 months, Joseph Boutilier has cycled 5,000km on one wheel to call for action on climate change. Join Joseph as he arrives in our nation's capital – his final destination – to meet with MPs just as Parliament reopens for the Fall session. Join others demanding political action and unity for the climate crisis. Do it #ForOurFuture.

Dr John Cherry, a hydrogeologist with the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), says fracking wells in Canada aren't built for the long haul; they tend to spring leaks.
"In my view, well integrity is likely the most important shale gas issue," said Dr Cherry in Toronto, Thursday, May 29. Dr Cherry chaired the CCA's expert panel on understanding the environmental impacts of shale gas extraction (fracking). This panel released its report in early May.
Sierra Club's Waste Diversion Expert, Rob Muir, continues to emphasize the necessity of waste diversion to combat climate change. Local government has an important role in making it happen, however, the key is developing sustainable consumer behaviour. We need to be more conscious of how resources are used, the products we consume, and how we deal with our waste.
Watch Rob's video on Ottawa's Green Bin Program here.
Visit Sierra Club Ontario Waste Diversion to learn about this critical step towards creating a sustainable future, and mitigating climate change.
Rob Muir's Profile.
The Star published an article Energy board proposal for fixed hydro rates called "Robin Hood in Reverse" in the Business section on Tuesday. In a recent draft report, the Ontario Energy Board proposes a fixed monthly rate for utilities rather than charging households by how much power is consumed. Sierra Club Canada is a founding member of the Green Energy Coalition (GEC). "It is Robin Hood in reverse," argues a letter from the GEC.
Rouge Park has been getting a lot of press coverage recently. The proposed federal legislation for Rouge Park is not good enough, and the remarkable ecological values of the park deserve more protection. A letter signed by 7 environmental groups outlining the objections to the legislation for establishing the future urban park can be found here.

Sierra Club Canada's Ontario Chapter was instrumental in the decision by our provincial government to shut down all coal plants. The day has come! Toronto environmental lawyer Dianne Saxe has a nice piece on her website about it:
by DIANNE SAXE on JANUARY 15, 2014
January 8 marked the last day of operation of the Nanticoke Generating Station, the last operating coal-fired electrical generating facility in southern Ontario. This latest shut down will help mark 2014 as the year Ontario will become a coal-free jurisdiction.

The Audacity of Hype: Dissent in the Age of ObamaSubmitted by JKap on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 11:30
The Audacity of Hype: Dissent in the Age of Obama
by Justin Raimondo
The Obama bandwagon is moving fast and furious, rolling over the few remaining pockets of dissent even as it prepares to take power. The mainstream media, particularly on television, has lost all sense of objectivity and proportion, and their reporting of the president-elect's doings has taken on a distinctly Soviet air. "Our Glorious Leader Picks the White House Dog" is the emblematic headline of a servile fourth estate. The political atmosphere is positively eerie: amid calls for "unity" and attacks on "toxic" language that is "divisive," there is an odd uniformity of thought similar to the virtual unanimity that gripped the nation in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Groupthink is all the rage, and the media has joined in the fun. Due to this love-fest, they're oblivious to the warning signs that worry us few and scattered skeptics. They somehow missed the Dear Leader's call for a civilian "national security force," for example, one that is "just as well-funded" and "just as powerful" as the U.S. military.
Media Matters for America, which is shaping up rather nicely as Obama's semi-official media shill, claims Obama's remarks were just about expanding the already existing Americorps program and the president-elect was taken out of context. Yet his words speak for themselves, as do the words of his recently chosen chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who declared in his book:
"It's time for a real PATRIOT Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation, and community service."
Some Republicans, Rahm brays, "will squeal about individual freedom." Well, let's hope that part isn't true. Because if it's only Republicans who object to this militaristic scheme to solve the unemployment problem by outfitting the out-of-work with spiffy new uniforms, then we're really in a lot more trouble than even I imagined.
Digg here: http://digg.com/political_opinion/The_Audacity_of_Hype_Disse...
Anyone else having a problem getting into antiwar.com?
I can't get past the appeal for donations on the front page today (except for this Raimondo article).
"An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained." -Mahatma Gandhi
"...a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." -John F. Kennedy

Don't have any CTs, so can't comment on those.
