HoopsHype Charles Oakley rumors
Charles Oakley: Now...about Lakers! 1 of my fav parts was Phil hitting Pau in the chest. Phil is pissed at the BS. Twitter
Charles Oakley: Don't get me wrong. I like Pau & he is a good players. Everybody can get in a slump but Mavs r doing it. Gotta give them respect. Twitter
Charles Oakley, one of the NBA's all-time tough guys, doesn't want to talk about his excruciating back pain. "I'm good," the Charlotte Bobcats assistant said recently before brushing off further questions. Yet one quick look at Oakley shows he's not. He hasn't returned to the bench since having to be carried from the court before a game in San Antonio last month with a sciatic nerve problem that's made it difficult to walk. "He's not doing too good right now," Bobcats coach Paul Silas said Thursday. Minneapolis Star-Tribune
The 47-year-old Oakley is the latest example of an NBA coach walking the fine line of teaching from the sidelines and hands-on instruction. There's plenty of other harsh examples, ranging from Patrick Ewing's broken foot to Nate McMillan's ruptured Achilles' tendon to the sight of Bobcats owner Michael Jordan icing both knees after practicing with his team. "It catches up with you. I've been through that. You forget," said Golden State coach Keith Smart, who when he was an assistant regularly banged with players. "It gets to the point where your body tells you that can't do it anymore but your mind tells you that you can. So you start having the pains players are having, but you're older." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Charles Oakley , the NBA 's toughest assistant coach, has been troubled by a back injury that caused him to miss the last three games, including last night's game against the Knicks . Oakley, 47, who joined the Charlotte staff when Paul Silas took over for Larry Brown on Dec. 22, suffered the injury -- a sciatic nerve irritation -- while working out his team's big men before the March 19 game in San Antonio . Newsday
"It's important because not too many coaches do that," Silas said. "Players have all the power and I think they're kind of afraid to confront them and make them adhere to the principles that you're putting out there. Oak, in no uncertain terms, lets them know. "He's had it out with a few guys here," Silas added. "He gains their respect, and that's what's most important." Newsday
A few minutes after going into the Bobcats' locker room Jordan emerges to shake my hand as I stand in the hallway talking to Charles Oakley, another of Jordan's longtime friends and former teammates who is a Bobcats assistant coach. "He's a good guy," Oakley is saying as MJ steps up behind him. Jordan smiles and tells me that if Oakley can just get 10 rebounds a night, then he'll come back to the game and score big. "If he can get 10, I can get 20," he says gamely. He's kidding, of course. If only if were that easy. No, Jordan well knows he's facing a long, narrow path to success, one where respect is won one step at a time. HoopsHype
Darren Andrade: Charles Oakley with some words for Reggie Evans on that air ball buzzer-beater attempt. Oakley: "That was some bullshit you put up there." Twitter
"Tom's just a feisty guy," Oakley said. "He made sure the drills and situations were right. He got the right head for a head coach. I'm glad he got a chance. I know he will put his work in and give his team a chance. "The Bulls are well-coached. You got probably the best post-up in the East in (Carlos) Boozer and the best point guard in (Derrick) Rose. The Bulls are going to be a top-four seed. I think they will beat Atlanta out. Atlanta is playing good now. But once Noah comes back, the Bulls can pass them. "Boston is dying down a little because of (Kevin) Garnett. The game has a little more speed now. They say Boston is getting ready for the playoffs. But it's a long way from the playoffs." Chicago Tribune
The Bobcats named Ralph Lewis, Charles Oakley and Stephen Silas as assistant coaches. Lewis played professionally for 10 years, including three seasons in the NBA. He was an assistant with the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma Thunder from 2005 to 2009. Previously, he coached the Huntsville Flight in the NBA Development League. Charlotte Observer
Interim Paul Silas is being permitted to assemble his own aides, as long as he hires Jordan's partners in pleasure and punishment. Charles Oakley already is on board. Wide World Wes and cherished au pair re Ahmad Rashard can't be far behind. New York Post
Adrian Wojnarowski: Charles Oakley has officially joined Paul Silas' coaching staff with the Bobcats, league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: Charles Oakley had been telling league friends that PJ Brown and Muggsy Bogues were joining staff too, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Twitter
Now, Silas comes back to the bench, and one of the owner's old buddies, Charles Oakley, is expected to join him, two league sources said. This coaching staff won't win all of its games, but it won't lose any fights. On his way out, Brown gave Jordan this advice, a source said: Make sure you hire coaches that are your friends, because it won't work anyway else with you. Oakley was telling friends on Wednesday that he planned to toughen up that Charlotte frontline, and no doubt that's what Jordan wants out of him. Yahoo! Sports
Charles Oakley on whether or not he likes Isaiah Thomas: "I have nothing against Isaiah but he made a lot of comments about the Knicks in the old days. He's a great player, just like (Charles) Barkley's a great player, but he's an asshole. My thing is, when Barkley played basketball, he didn't practice, he wasn't a leader, he wasn't this or that, he just had natural talent so he got chosen to the Dream Team, All Star team because he had the talent and he was the franchise player on the team. Him criticizing all those other guys, he did the same thing when he was young. As soon as they do something wrong, he criticizes them, that's wrong. He wasn't real to the game. Let the guys speak out who are real to the game. He talks like a player and I will give him that, but for him to comment about this and being a professional, he wasn't all that." Sports Radio Interviews
Charles Oakley on people in New York being mad at him for his comments about the Knicks: "You know what? If they're mad at me then they can be mad at me. I'm not going to apologize. I'm a grown man, I do grown things, they know how I roll, I'm gonna keep rolling the way I roll, they know me, I speak the truth, I'm about the truth, and I'm not a bullshitter. If they're mad at me, they can stay mad at me. I'm not going to apologize if they're mad at me because I didn't make the decision for LeBron. Lebron made his own decision. He's a grown man and I'm a grown man. I respect his decision. There's a lot of ex-players that are hating on him but when you get a chance to be in one place for eight years and you're not winning, hey I'm gonna go out to if I'm a superstar and got a chance. He didn't ask to be traded and his contract was up so he had the freedom to do what he wanted to do." Sports Radio Interviews
But you never told LeBron that: "My thing is, I'll be real with people and if you're a sports guy and ask me something, know what you're talking about when you're talking with me because I'm gonna expose you because I'm not a bullshitter. I know what I'm talking about. If somebody told you something and you take it and run with it you don't know facts. If you don't know facts you shouldn't even interview me because I'm gonna expose you because its bullshit. It is what it is." Sports Radio Interviews
Alan Hahn: Oakley has been asking for 5 years to be on the Knicks staff. He sounds frustrated that his words are often used against him. He cares. Twitter
Alan Hahn: Oakley also vehemently denied report that he told LeBron to avoid NY: "I swear on my mother, LeBron didn't ask me nothing about the Knicks." Twitter

Despite the darker new angle of SSX's Deadly Descents, you'll be pleased to hear that the series hasn't really changed too much for its reboot.
The danger of death may be more realistic, but don't expect that to make anything more sensible: SSX is still fuelled by ludicrous tricks. There are nine mountains for you to hurtle down, each of which feels surprisingly different - from the treacherous jagged rocks of the Alps to the volcanic tunnels of Kilimanjaro. Each location's subtle gimmick is taken to its extreme conclusion in the final event of each career area - the SSX equivalent of an end-of-level boss.
Regardless of the mode you're playing in, everything you do in SSX earns you XP and points. Level up your character and you can buy yourself some new gear at the nifty Borderlands-style randomized shop, and you can then use what you've got in any game mode. There are occasional restrictions in place to keep things fair, but largely you're free to just do as you please. If you hit a brick wall in the punishing solo campaign, simply go off and level up elsewhere for a bit and buy yourself a better board.
That's snowbiz
The game's online aspects are what make it great, but they might not be what you're expecting. Rather than offering head-to-head, SSX's multiplayer is entirely asynchronous, using jazzed-up leaderboard systems to drive a sense of constant competition. Every time you mess up in SSX, you'll want to restart immediately anyway, so this idea makes plenty of sense. Letting you jump straight into any of the game's events as soon as the disc pops into the tray, Explore mode's medal-collecting can all be played offline but doesn't spring to life until you get some friends involved.
The Ridernet system in SSX constantly tracks the progress of your rivals, giving Explore mode a great sense of purpose. It learns the kind of events you enjoy, and pokes you whenever your records get beaten - giving you a constant flow of things to do without ever having to go back to the menu. One of the coolest ideas is Geotags, items you can drop in hard-to-reach areas that other players can then attempt to grab in their game. The longer your Geotag goes unclaimed, the more bonus points you'll get.
If you're in the mood for a personal vendetta, it's easy to bring up just one friend's scores so you can systematically wipe them off the top of the leaderboards. Beating your mates' records won't only earn bragging rights: each top score has a bounty of bonus XP and points to win for anyone who has the skills to beat it. Log into SSX after a few days off, and you'll even be rewarded with 'ghost win' points for every time someone's failed to beat your record - giving you a wonderful idea of how long they must have spent trying to beat you. If you're competing on a track at the same time as a friend, you'll also be able to see their ghost in real-time. Another cool touch is leaderboard filters, which let you quietly ignore the scores of that mate who's depressingly good at almost everything.
Go global
In addition to Explore, you've also got Global Events - a mode that feels a bit like Black Ops' Wager Mode. Buy into an event with your in-game credits, then get into the best score bracket you can before the end of the event to go home with a bigger chunk of the earnings. If you've got the points to risk, Global Events can quickly go crazy, with some of the higher buy-ins costing you millions.
As a series reboot this is perfectly acceptable, but it's the new and innovative online aspects that make SSX feel absolutely superb. Packed to the brim with clever ideas, SSX is a truly unmissable surprise. While most other online modes feel like painting-by-numbers, SSX shrugs and tries something refreshingly different. This isn't just brave - it's brilliant.
Will steal your heart and destroy your thumbs
- Frighteningly addictive
- Online stuff is amazing
- Still has stupid stunts
- Filled with clever ideas
- No split-screen

Can anyone tell me if parts are avaliable for the cigarette lighter plug (tmc receiver). I have lost the fuse the fuse cover and nut. the cord works fine i just need thoes parts and really dont want to have to purchase a new cord.
Open up the rest of the plug (where the wires go in) and see if there are only 2 wires connected to the plug. One wire should connect to the center button that sticks out the end (this is the "+" wire) and one wire should connect to the metal sliders along the side of the plug (this is the "-" wire).
If that's all that's connected to the plug you can get a replacement plug at Radio Shack and wire it back up yourself or have someone do it for you. Shouldn't cost but a couple of $.
14-08-2011 08:21 PM - edited 14-08-2011 08:23 PM
Since this cord has an RDS-TMC receiver built in, it's well worth saving! What exactly is missing of the following loose parts when the nut is removed (if I understand your original post, all of them are missing):
1) Nut,
2) Fuse,
3) Chrome pin.
There is also a spring stuck in the bottom of the cavity intended to house the fuse, but that seems to be well attached. As spider362 suggests, if you rewire it to another (with an appropriate output rating, probably 5V, 1.2A), then you will have saved your receiver.
Otherwise, the standard OEM TomTom car charger for XL or XXL models (you didn't mention which model you have) also have the exact same mechanism, and would work with your RDS-TMC unit as a source for parts. You might even get lucky at Radio Shack (or an auto parts store) and find one of their models with a nut, fuse and pin that will screw directly into your existing adapter.
That's also something that might be worth getting off eBay, as long as it is a genuine TomTom charger, so that you can just take the missing parts and add them to your receiver. Here's one that looks right to me (no guarantees!), for under $10 (buy it now).
I just joined this forum to research this issue. I purchased two XXL's in late November, 2010 and both receiver tips have come apart.. I found these parts for one of these tips when it fell apart, but one of my son's, who has the other XXL, can not find the silver tip, and black plastic octagonal cover. From the responses I see, TOM TOM does not provide these individual parts for sale ? One would guess that these are not secured at the manufacturing location. TOM TOM should add instructions to tighten this area before first usage as part of the start up procedure.
Apparently it is a continuing issue. I cannot remember if I bought my TomTom 1-2 yrs ago, and I am on a trip and went to plug in my unit and realized when it wouldn't get a charge that the tip is missing. bummer!
I have been trying to ascertain whether a standard car charger would be a direct replacement for the charger/receiver as the lead supplied has an output of 5v instead of the standard 12v.Also would the unit work with a standard charger or will it only work with the VERY expensive charger/receiver lead? Why Tom Tom do not supply parts to replace the obvious design problem as the fuse,nut and silver bit must cost them only a few pence[cents].If I have to buy a direct replacement it would be cheaper to buy another less complex unit than the XL335 T.
Tom Tom support have been very slow in responding and I have found more from this forum than from them.
The standard car charger[ £15/$24] in the UK does not seem to be made in a similar way[no fuse] but cannot tell as boxes are in rigid plastic so unable to look and very few retailers stock spares anyway.
26-06-2012 12:19 AM - edited 26-06-2012 12:23 AM
The difficulty with any other standard replacement is that it will not have the correct receiver for traffic included. If you need a replacement with the traffic receiver, I would check pricing and availability on amazon.co.uk (or compare also with eBay, if you are happy with that).
Remember also (from my response above) that a standard TomTom charger, as long as it's OEM, should provide the spare parts needed for the traffic receiver model at a fraction of the cost of a new traffic receiver charger.
Thanks for the reply-I have ordered an OEM charger @ £1.99 and will see if the parts from it are compatable but at that price it is worth trying.Will keep you updated on whether it works.
Hello, this is a useful thread and thanks for posting. My TMC receiver cord (ciagarette lighter adaptor) has stopped working entirely - I have tried to reseat the fuse and nut and cover and regardless of which direction I seat the fuse in, the cord is not working (light does not come on, no charge to the TomTom device). I looked at the fuse and I can see one wire (not sure if there should be two wires). The replacement cord is priced on the TT website at $69.95 in the US and is not even orderable on the site (and seems expensive). Does anyone have any thoughts to help me out (I know I could buy a replacement on E-Bay for example) - is there any potential in trying to source a new fuse for example?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Take you old fuse to an automotive store like Advance Auto Parts or Pep Boys, or your local service station, if you still have one, and they can tell what fuse you need.
Don't know any Ebay suppliers.

I have read other posts here but have a specific question.
We have just installed a new auto-fill supply line. The contractor capped it at the hose bib and then ran another hose to his meter and set the pressure at 40 psi. Within 6 hours, pressure had dropped to 36 psi and by 18 hours it had dropped to 28 psi. At one point when hooking up the equipment, the pressure shot up to 60 psi until he adjusted it down. Are these signs a reading of a bad PVC joint? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by pool-ethics (My Page) on Wed, Oct 12, 11 at 11:50
Your probably okay. The temperature has a lot to do with it. If it's in the shade, the pressure goes down. In the sun, it goes up. Joe |
matrixunloaded, 35-40 PSI is pretty standard for water pressure testing PVC. Fluctuations in air temperatures can cause fluctuations during a pressure test. Leaks, generally, will not hold pressure for any length of time. It's best to check for wet spots around fittings. Sometimes dry fits will hold some pressure. With that said, I've found drips in spa plumbing eventhough the pressure was holding over 40 PSI. A visual/physical inspection is always helpful! |

Today on Tablet
Rachel Shteir's latest dispatch on Rahm Emanuel's mayoral candidacy today in Tablet Magazine details how his adept treatment of the blizzard that recently hit Chicago has left him primed to win the elections later this month. Of course, Emanuel has also been blessed by his rivals: "It's easier to play Good Candidate," Shteir observes, "when you've got others to play Bad."

A survey by Tampa's ABC Action News confirms a point often made by Ted in this space: "The Liebeck case did little, if anything, to alter the manner in which fast food restaurants serve coffee." [Nick Farr, Abnormal Use]
Coffee temperatures and the McDonald's case
{ 6 comments }
- 1 03.14.11 at 4:07 pm
From the Tampa ABC article:
Start Quote from Story
Carl Borchgrevink is a Professor at Michigan State University, who conducted 2 studies on hot liquids being served thru quick service windows after the landmark McDonald's case of a woman who burned herself with hot coffee.
In Carl's opinion, "195 to 205, which is often the recommended temperature to get the maximum extraction of coffee, if they wish to brew it at a slightly lower temperature you need to use more coffee. So there is, in fact, an economic argument."
End quote from story.No Carl Borchgrevink. You're deliberately misstating the facts, are ignorant, or just plain wrong . Take a coffee class. 195 to 205 is not about MAXIMUM extraction, it's about the BEST extraction – to get the best QUALITY of coffee.
I wonder – professor of what? He certainly flunked Coffee 101.
- 2 03.14.11 at 4:15 pm
This is a false conclusion, right? Because it has stayed the same that means that the lawsuit had no impact. Maybe it would be higher if not for the lawsuit.
I don't have an opinion on what impact this 17 year old claim had. I think it would be insane for 99.9999% of us to even guess. But I'm confident this "not exactly scientific" study would prove nothing even if it were a scientific study.

I love the phony testimony-for-hire expert witness industry.
There is are insanely over-paid bogus "experts" for every class action scam.
- 4 03.14.11 at 11:09 pm
Whenever this case comes up, I wonder if the verdict would have been the same if the jury had been served with 140 degree coffee (before cream or sugar added).
- 5 03.17.11 at 10:06 am
Gosh, Ron Miller, how can the temperature be appreciably greater than 195-205 when water boils at 212?
- 6 03.17.11 at 7:43 pm
Anecdotally, my experience is that McDonald's coffee is not as hot as it used to be. I remember McDonald's being considerably hotter than their competitors.

Whether for webinar registration, paid search landing pages, content marketing, email response landing pages or contact forms – SmartForms can make every marketing lead captured a rich data event.

National Peanut Butter Lover's Day
The food-related holidays just keep coming. Today we're celebrating National Peanut Butter Lover's Day.
When you're buying your next jar of peanut butter, opt for the natural kind with the oil on top (here's how to make it easier to stir back in) because it has less salt and sugar than the blended kinds. Plus, the non-blended versions are trans-fat free, meaning you can feel better about eating these peanut butter cookies.
And what better way to celebrate than by making this Gingery Peanut Noodles with Chicken Recipe.
And if you have a peanut allergy, but can eat other nuts, try these grown-up nut butters.

The Nantucket Public School system, located mid-island, donated shared office space in the high school for the convenience of staff, parents, students and community members wishing to access the Resource Center.

I have two sets of chairs I want to put out for my upcoming garage sale, but I don't know what would be a reasonable price for them.
This set are on the small side (30" tall at the backs) and I've been told they might be cherry. The seats have been reupholstered.
These are a little larger than the set above. The one on the right has a wobbly leg and it looks like the seat was repaired underneath with metal braces. The one on the left has rollers on the legs.
Follow-Up Postings:
The set I have linked may or may not be cherry....probably not. They are sort of a later copy of an older Victorian style chair. The second set is much nicer and older. A his and her's set....likely 1890 to 1910....can't see the wood nor if the design in the back is painted or carved. Cushions appear to have springs in them....nice set. |
Here is a link that might be useful: one set of chairs

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.

I am getting my daughters old bedroom to turn into my own private sewing room. The ceiling is nine feet tall, there are 3 south and west facing windows,light blue walls and black carpeting. I need to know what type of overhead light would be best to use in this room. I already have 2 ott light goose neck floor lamps that I use at my sewing tables, however, I need something overhead to light up the entire room. My cutting table will be in the center of the room for easy all around access. My ironing station has its own built in lamp. My electrician is suggesting wrapped double tube florescent fixtures but that sounds too much like industrial lighting. My old house had lower ceilings and I had a ceiling fan with tulip lights and that gave me a lot of light. This house is an old farmhouse with extra high ceilings. I may want to turn the room into a sitting room at some point and don't want to make it to uninviting. Right now there is no lighting of any kind, save for the Ott lamps. |

I don't like florescent lights for sewing. Have you ever been in a fabric shop and thought you were looking at navy that turned out to be purple when you got it to natural light. Why don't you try a swing arm wall sconce with a big drum shade over your machine. You could swing it out to shine directly over your machine when you are using it and swing it back when not in use. Keep the shade white for maximum light. That is something you could leave there even if you turned it into a bedroom. Get one thay plugs into a wall socket |
I have a swing light beside the machine but for the rest of the room I have can lights. They are nice for the cutting area, especially if you drop straight pins and it is also helpful if you sew until you get tired, it makes to whole room bright. My sewing room is a 12'x16' and we have can lights in an u shape, a shorter side where the sewing machine is and the open end where the books, notions and things like that are. I also have two regular overhead lights. I like a bright, bright sewing room and kitchen and it really helps me see. Hope this helps. |

I caught up with some professional journals over the holidays and am just sharing a few interesting items I read:
Well, there is a study that will "prove" almost anything. I'm always interested in a new book about Lincoln in print or eformat. I read both.
Last week I wrote about looking back at 2014 with a focus on our millage renewal and several building changes that patrons and use patterns have told us have been successful. We also had some programming highlights in 2014.
Many of these services are described in detail on our website and in LINK, our quarterly newsletter, and through our biweekly enewsletter.
We have had a good year and are looking forward to 2015. Come visit soon – one of our five locations or our website.
Happy new year!
Year end bring a time of reflection. As I look back over 2014 for the library, many events and milestones immediately come to mind. Of course the first is the successful passage, by a strong margin, of our renewal millage in May. Our two millages are now in place for 17 and 20 years.
Several of our milestones this year, involved building projects which allowed us to expand public services. We created the "Story Place" by the children's room at Central from space that had been a materials sorting area for returned items. We now have a wonderful family friendly program and play space as part of the children's room.
A closet and storage area is now "The Hub," our digital lab on the third floor Central, and we rearranged furniture and added several displays of materials in the first floor rotunda. As part of that rearrangement, we were able to create a quieter reading and study area on the second floor. We also completed the expansion of the Clarence L. Miller Family Local History Room.
Changes at branches were less dramatic this year, although we now have a computer room at Eastwood, were able to put holds out for self-pick-up at Washington Square, and moved the teen space and created a reading area with popular books at Oshtemo. At Powell Branch, rental space within the Douglass Community Association, rainbows and sunshine continued to create a welcoming environment.
All of these changes have been well received by our patrons and have generated positive comments. Use has increased too.
I hope it has been a good year for you, even if it didn't involve any building projects! Come visit soon, especially if you haven't been here in a while and best wishes for the new year.
This can be a stressful, overly busy time of year. We've all read advice for reducing stress. Here's another one: uninterrupted reading, even "slow reading."
"Slow reading" is a return to reading habits of the time before cellphones, social media, Google….just sit in silence and read uninterruptedly. Reducing stress is certainly a benefit. Such reading time also enhances comprehension, deepens empathy, enriches vocabulary, and of course, provides pleasure.
The reading tips include going to a place with no distractions (turn off the phone and computer), and treat reading like something you deliberately make time for.
If folding this approach into this busy time of year just seems overwhelming, perhaps it will be a new year's resolution for you.
There is a new day designation, at least new to me……December 2 has been designated "Giving Tuesday." This has a nice ring as opposed to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
This is the time of year when we all receive many requests for donations from a wide variety of local, regional, and national organizations.
The library does not conduct an annual fundraising campaign nor send out a solicitation request. Our only fundraiser is our annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee to raise funds to buy books for distribution through our Ready to Read program.
Of course donations to the library are always welcome and greatly appreciated. There is a link on our website - look for "Support the Library" at the bottom of any page.
A donation can be designated for a specific collection, such as large print or children's; a location, such as your neighborhood branch; or a service such as Local History, Teens, or Ready to Read. Undesignated gifts are directed where they are needed most.
We appreciate if you think of the library when you are considering your year-end giving.
What a night for the 14th annual Great Grown-up Spelling Bee! THANK YOU to all the KPL staff who had a part in making this another successful year of raising serious money to buy books for kids through Ready to Read. It was fun. I can't begin to name everyone who had a part before, at, after the event BUT I will thank Mikki who pulled it all together so smoothly and the KPL spellers, Bill and Lolita, who won 2nd place in a spell down against Portage District Library, no less, and to Karen who did an awesome job as word pronouncer. She must practice at home to be so smooth at this role. And our cheerleaders….great job with that 1980's look and moves. For those of you old enough to remember…..I think Lolita was channeling the Jane Fonda's work-out look!! Do we miss those days??
Well into the night, Neil Bremer the MC, asked how many were there for the first time. I was amazed how many hands went up. Although this event, now in its 14th year, is familiar to us, I think its longevity is partly due to attracting new folks each year.
Final numbers aren't in, but indications are we raised the "usual" amount of $20,000 or so. I call that serious money to buy lots and lots of books for kids.
Thank you KPL staff. We have reason to celebrate and be proud today.
Great job everyone!
I often write here and in LINK, our newsletter, about our #1 priority of creating young readers – preparing young children to be ready to learn when they enter school. Some new resources have been added to our website to support this goal.
Once again research has shown that children who are read to do better in school. A new emphasis, Read Aloud 15 MINUTES, maintains that "15 minutes of reading aloud daily, starting at birth, will change the face of education in our country." Additional information about this initiative is on our website.
15 minutes a day of reading to young children dovetails nicely with our program 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and soon to come will be our Early Learning Calendar for 2015, available in December.
Storytimes continue to be a favorite for many families of young children. Many plan their library visit around Storytime or plan for play time in the Story Place, the activity room for young children at Central.
These resources and many others are described on the Kids & Parents section of our website. We update it often, so visit often.
And, of course, read to all the young children in your life.
The first floor rotunda at Central has a new look.
Shelving for new fiction and nonfiction, Hot Picks, and urban fiction has been repositioned to go around the opening rather than as spokes from the opening. New display tables have been added and much of the seating has been moved to the second floor. The space is more fully a browsing area for new materials, not a seating area.
In the second floor rotunda, additional seating has been added by current magazines. Current newspapers have been moved across from Local History and tables and chairs have been repositioned to create a more quiet reading and study area.
The first floor changes reflect our priority of "reading, viewing, and listening for pleasure" and provide a space to highlight staff picks, librarian favorites, and topical books, along with new books.
Patrons have asked for a more quiet reading area and we hope that will be the use of the area by Local History.
Come visit soon and see our rearranged look.
Each fall all 1,200+ first graders in the Kalamazoo Public Schools visit the library twice. We are almost finished the first round of visits. The first graders heard a story, received their very own library card, and chose a book to take back to school.
When they visit again in a few weeks, they will return the book and look for another one, then hopefully return again with their family. We hope to make library visits an ongoing family routine for these first graders.
Many studies show the difference in school readiness and academic achievement between children who have been read to and visited libraries and those who have not. We know that children who live in poverty are at the highest risk for starting school unprepared to learn.
We are working closely with the Kalamazoo Public Schools as well as many others in the community to support school readiness. Services and programs for preschoolers as well as those in the early elementary grades are listed on our website. Our staff would also be happy to describe them to you.
It takes all of us to support our community's children – help us spread the word about library services and the importance of regular library visits.
This week, October 19 – 25 is National Friends of Libraries Week.
KPL is pleased to celebrate our good friends, the Friends of KPL. They are major contributors to our library's success through their community advocacy for the library and their donation of about $50,000 annually to enhance our programs and services.
In their advocacy role, they were the primary funders of our very successful spring millage campaign and, of course, they helped us get the word out about the vote and the library services it supports.Their annual donation comes from the revenue from the bookstore, located on the lower level of Central Library. They sell "gently used books, very gently priced" that have been donated or have been withdrawn from the library collection.
Their 2013-14 donation funded our summer reading activities, supported the Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee, and provided an enhancement to many programs: Global Reading Challenge, Reading Together, Youth Literature Seminar. They thanked the library staff with years of service recognition and honored retirees.
We have very good friends; they would welcome you as member and as a bookstore patron.Thank you, good FRIENDS OF KPL, and happy Friends week.

Girls Volleyball: Langer leads L-W Central past L-W East

Thursday's SouthWest Suburban Blue match against visiting Lincoln-Way East was more than just about revenge for Lincoln-Way Central.
The Knights were fighting for their conference survival as well. They weren't fighting very well, down 21-15 late in Set 1, when junior Jacqueline Langer starting swinging.
Of their final 10 points in an improbable comeback, six came on five kills and an ace by the 5-foot-11 outside hitter. In Set 2, East had a pretty impressive comeback of its own going on when Langer put two devastating spikes in it.
"I just thought I needed to bring the team some fire. I just swung the ball down after some beautiful sets from Kaitlyn (Siadek)," a smiling Langer said after the 25-23, 25-20 victory.
Langer finished with 14 kills, five blocks and six digs. Siadek had seven digs and three blocks to go along with 29 assists, while Maria Brown contributed five kills, five blocks and 14 digs, and Amanda Solan nine blocks and seven kills for the No. 6 Knights (21-7, 4-1).
No. 7 Lincoln-Way East (20-8, 3-2) was paced by Marissa DeGroot (6 kills, 13 digs), Kayla Currier (7 kills), Sara Buchbach (5 kills, 12 digs), Dana Van Dyck (14 digs) and Taylor Nirchi (18 assists).
The win kept Central one game behind Sandburg, with two conference matches remaining. The two are scheduled to meet at Sandburg in the league finale on Oct. 17.
East beat Central on Sept. 15 en route to winning the Mother McAuley Preview.
"We just had a couple of plays (today) that really pumped us up," Siadek said. "And I feel we pushed the entire match, and that was really the difference. Overall, it was so intense. It was a great game and a great win for us."
The Griffins used some pretty effective tipping and some power shots by Currier during the early pull away. Even after a service error, it was still 21-16 East.
But things began to turn around after a Brown kill was followed up by a blast down the left line by Langer. Siadek started to go to Langer more often than not, even after she went to the back row.
"I think Jackie had the game of her life," Siadek said. "I have a lot of trust in Jackie just because she's so consistent."
Langer had two blocks and a kill, and Dolan a pair of kills from the middle during a 6-0 start in Set 2. East didn't fold, however, chipping away until a kill by Buchbach and a block by Sarah Dobrich got the Griffins within 21-20.
But again, Central was ready when it mattered the most. Claire Vrabec bookended two kils around a pair by Langer to end the match.
"It looked like things were moving in the right direction," Griffins coach Linda Vivona said. "I was telling the girls, 'See it to the finish.' But I think we just kind of let up a little bit. When you let up against solid teams, they'll take advantage of that opportunity and surge forward. That's pretty much what happened."

The mall is a foreign novelty to Kenyans, but for the tens of thousands of Western Nairobians, Westgate — with its Israeli-owned brasserie, sushi restaurant and upscale clothing stores — offered access to familiar amenities that are hard to find in this eastern African republic.
It was the first place that Rebecca, the wife of Nairobi's newly arrived rabbi, was taken to in Nairobi. On her blog, she described it as a pleasant spot to enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee. But in an interview with JTA, she requested that her last name be withheld.
"I'm sorry, this whole business has made me a bit paranoid," she acknowledged.
Charles Szlapak, a longtime member of the Nairobi Hebrew Congregation, told JTA he believed Westgate was targeted "because it represents the West and the Kenyan government's pro-Western attitudes," and that he had "no reason to believe it was struck because of anything connected specifically to Jews."
But Sheikh Abulaziz Abu Muscab, a spokesman for Al Shabab — the Somalia-based wing of al-Qaida that claimed responsibility for the attack — was quoted on Sept. 25 as telling Al Jazeera: "Westgate is a place where there are Jewish and American shops. So we have to attack them."
Szlapak, a Poland native born in the 1930s, says Jews have lived in Kenya for well over a century. Nowadays, most Jews living in Nairobi are Israeli businessmen and their families, according to Attias.
Al Shabab is presumed to have staged the attack as revenge for the involvement of Kenyan troops in the quelling of an Islamist insurgency in Somalia. It made no reference to Israel in its statements on the attack. Alex Trachtenberg, an Israeli businessman whom media reports have identified as Westgate's owner, did not respond to requests for comment from JTA.
Westgate was among several business ventures launched by Trachtenberg in Kenya, where a growing middle class, relative stability and government incentives have attracted many foreign investors, Israelis among them. Before Westgate, Trachtenberg started a fishery, among other businesses.

Really cute!
October 9, 2010
I read reviews on this costume and ordered the exact size my son is. He is 4 years old and the sizing is pretty right on. The top fits him really well. The pants are long but I was prepared for that as I had read that in the reviews. I'll probably just hem them up a little. The hat is soft all the way around so I could see how you might have problems with it holding it's shape. The one we got seems to hold fine but I had already bought an inexpensive fedora for my son at a costume shop so we'll use that. He's very excited to be Indiana Jones for Halloween this year so I'm happy I found a costume that fits well. I would definitely recommend this to others but you still might want to get a different hat to go with it.

Perfect fit!
October 9, 2010
After reading many reviews on this costume and reading that the childrens sizes seem to run small I decided to order the tween size for my daughter. She's 6 1/2 years old and wears a size 6 to size 7. The small tween size is going to be perfect for her. It is a little baggy but with the tie in the back you can easily tie it so it fits correctly. The length and overall size is perfect for someone as young as 6 to 7 years old. We'll have to roll the stockings a little and I will have to do something to make the bill of the hat more stiff but it was definitely worth it. My daughter is very excited to be Strawberry Shortcake for Halloween this year and having a costume that fits well makes my life a whole lot easier! I definitely recommend going with this size in the costume versus the childrens sizes if you have a child as young as 6.

The serious incidents that took place on 31 May between Israeli forces and activists on a flotilla heading for Gaza once again put the spotlight on the acute hardship faced by the population in the Gaza Strip.If the ICRC has declared the Israeli government to be in violation of international law for using collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza, when will war crimes charges be brought against them?
As the ICRC has stressed repeatedly, the dire situation in Gaza cannot be resolved by providing humanitarian aid. The closure imposed on the Gaza Strip is about to enter its fourth year, choking off any real possibility of economic development. Gazans continue to suffer from unemployment, poverty and warfare, while the quality of Gaza's health care system has reached an all-time low.
The whole of Gaza's civilian population is being punished for acts for which they bear no responsibility. The closure therefore constitutes a collective punishment imposed in clear violation of Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law.
"The closure is having a devastating impact on the 1.5 million people living in Gaza", said Béatrice Mégevand-Roggo, the ICRC's head of operations for the Middle East. "That is why we are urging Israel to put an end to this closure and call upon all those who have an influence on the situation, including Hamas, to do their utmost to help Gaza's civilian population. Israel's right to deal with its legitimate security concerns must be balanced against the Palestinians' right to live normal, dignified lives."
The international community has to do its part to ensure that repeated appeals by States and international organizations to lift the closure are finally heeded.
Under international humanitarian law, Israel must ensure that the basic needs of Gazans, including adequate health care, are met. The Palestinian authorities, for their part, must do everything within their power to provide proper health care, supply electricity and maintain infrastructure for Gaza's people.
Furthermore, all States have an obligation to allow and facilitate rapid and unimpeded passage of all relief consignments, equipment and personnel.
