Things Happen for a Reason: The True Story of an Itinerant Life in Baseball (Paperback)
Not In Stock - Special Order (Subject to Availability)
Born in 1953 in Selma, Alabama, Terry Leach first plays baseball as a Little Leaguer. In college, he stars at Auburn until an arm injury threatens his future. He recovers sufficiently to pitch sidearm and enter the independent leagues in Louisiana, which leads to his major league career. For every Sosa, there are a dozen major-league players such as Leach. His professional pitching career began in 1976 with an independent minor-league team in Baton Rouge and ended in 1993 with Birmingham in the Triple AAA minors. In between, he pitched parts of 12 seasons in the majors, won 38 games, pitched almost 700 innings, and had a very respectable 3.37 earned run average. He was never a star, and every season of his career was a struggle to make a major-league roster. What dominates this book is Leach's love for the game, its camaraderie, its history, and his small role within it. Guys turning down contracts for millions of dollars often say—and fans know better—"It's not about the money." It's nice to know there are some players who can truthfully say that. Leach is such a player. This book relates his precarious experiences in baseball. His perspective is that of someone who was always fighting for the last roster spot on the team because he was never quite talented or young enough.
About the Author
Leach was a journeyman pitcher for the Mets and the Twins in the 1980s and 1990s.
Praise for Things Happen for a Reason: The True Story of an Itinerant Life in Baseball…
"The fact that Things Happen for a Reason is a classic baseball book shouldn't obscure the fact that it is also a gorgeous piece of pure writing."
—Johnathan Lethem, author of Amnesia Moon and Motherless Brooklyn
"In an age where baseball is dominated by scandal and dollar-lust, it's nice to know someone still loves the game for the most fundamental reasons. Things Happen for a Reason is a celebration of pure baseball, tracking the career of a pitcher whose perspective is honest and touchingly innocent."
—Bob Klapisch, baseball columnist, The Bergen Record and espn.com

Chelsea win Europa League title
Comment on this storyAmsterdam – A stoppage-time goal from Branislav Ivanovic helped Chelsea become the first English club to win all three of UEFA's major trophies as they beat Benfica 2-1 in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
The Serbian defender sent the London fans wild with delight when he climbed high at the far post and sent a header back across goalkeeper Artur into the corner of the net following a corner from Juan Mata.
Fernando Torres had put Chelsea in front with a breathtaking solo goal in the 59th minute before Oscar Cardozo equalised with a penalty nine minutes later.
Victory meant Chelsea emulated Ajax Amsterdam, Bayern Munich and Juventus in becoming the only clubs to win the European Cup, Europa League and the now defunct Cup Winners' Cup. – Reuters

By ASHLEY SCOBY
Stop me if you've heard this before: "Kentucky football can't win for losing."
It's the theme of the year, and the theme of the program, in many people's eyes. But it was especially true last night against Mississippi State as yet another UK quarterback went down to an injury – this time, Patrick Towles to an ankle sprain after going 5/6 for 71 yards and a touchdown.
The injury only added to the frustration felt by an offense that was already struggling. With the exception of Towles' drive for a touchdown, and Whitlow's touchdown drive later in the game, the offense struggled to move the ball. Whether it was a pass interference call going against the Cats or one of the freshman quarterbacks holding onto the ball too long and taking a huge sack (both did so), it was just one thing after another.
Three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out. Short drives by the Cats were plentiful last night; even if there was the occasional first down, it never really went anywhere. The Bulldogs won the time of possession battle, 35:59 to 24:01, putting an already-struggling Kentucky defense in a position to get gassed, and quickly.
It's a basic concept of football: When the offense can't move the ball, the defense gets more and more tired, allowing the opposing team to knife them up.
Many who have watched the entire season of Kentucky football would say that the defense would be allowing this many points/yards, even if they didn't have to be on the field for so long. Obviously, Mississippi State came out on the first drive last night and scored a touchdown. But there are some bright spots on this defense that might be able to shine a little more if they weren't on the field for so long, gassing themselves out.
Avery Williamson, one of the most talented players on UK's defense this year, has taken on a leadership role with this team, as many of his predecessors at linebacker have done. And he thinks that the defense has drastically improved this year, and continues to do so, especially at run emphasis and at really understanding what the opposing offense is going to do.
"I feel like we adjusted well (through the course of the game)," Williamson said. "Over the week I just studied a lot and I knew what they (Mississippi State) could do. I was telling the linebackers what it was going to be, like 'it's going to be a pass.' I knew exactly what they were going to do."
That preparation, as well as the evolution of the younger guys on defense (the Blaylock twins, for example) and the ability to rely heavily on a guy like Williamson could be extremely good for the future of this UK defense. The Bulldogs only scored 27 points, and the game was within 13 points heading into the final quarter of play.
What would it be like to see the improved play of this defense (and another game like Williamson's last night – 13 tackles and an onside kick recovery) with a better-than-anemic offense? Maybe we saw a flash of it when Towles was throwing five straight completions and then a punt was forced on MSU's very next possession by the UK defense. Maybe we saw a flash of it when Whitlow led the Cats on his own touchdown drive after Towles' injury, and then the defense forced yet another MSU punt on the Bulldogs' next possession.
A whole game of that synchronization, however, is still in the works. As the defense continues to improve, its injuries continue to pile up. Right as the offense starts to hit its stride, someone gets hurt, or the drive stalls.
They just can't win for losing, after all.

Recently, I was hanging out with a friend who told me that she has been obsessed with making Katniss Everdeen braids lately. I immediately thought (after reading The Hunger Games series and watching the movie four times,) "WHY HAVEN'T I TRIED THAT YET?!" So I went home, researched what I needed to know, and started practicing. Here are some DIY tutorial videos, so you can get that Katniss-style braid too!

Happier Marriage: Ten Tips for Creating the Marriage of your Dreams
You can decide to focus on what you like and appreciate your spouse. This is not something to keep to yourself. Appreciate her and tell her. Daily. Appreciation has a wonderful benefit of coming back to you. People will do more for you when they realize you truly appreciate them and what they do.
8. Make blame an obsolete concept. It has no place in your marriage. Blame is so dangerous to the health of your marriage. Blame says you are a victim and your happiness is totally dependent on your spouse doing everything just the way you want it. Choose to take responsibility for what you can control: your own behavior. Before a blaming statement leaves your mouth, ask yourself what you can do to help your marriage.
9. Total honesty is not helpful. Discretion is better. Focusing on the good things you can say to each other is best. I think some people use the phrase "I'm just being honest" to say some pretty ugly things to each other. Sometimes people say they're being honest, but they are really only expressing their opinion. Before you decide to say that "honest" thing to your spouse, think about how it will impact your relationship. Can you phrase it differently? Does it need to be said? Is it just your opinion? Think about it.
10. Ask yourself, "What can I do today that will bring me closer to the one I married?" Then do it. Keep it simple, using the examples above or creating your own. You have a creative mind and you can make this a daily habit. You will reap the benefits of a closer, happier marriage. Keep up these habits, building on them, and you can create the marriage of your dreams.

These are more like the ones who may or may not use the buildscript.
I believe this one is more of a "try to help" case, and would've been
posted regardless of the buildscript/distribution or warnings on the
upstream site.
Having the PKGBUILD now doesn't change the number of "try" users.
There are bound to be casual Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora users who have
figured out how to get ardour3 via Subversion, simply because they're
excited. There's no solution to this.
Even if the PKGBUILD were to be removed now, it will keep coming back
and we wouldn't be able to prevent that. Better to have it and stick a
mean note on (especially about serious feedback) than deal with fresh
new ones every now and then. That, IMO, is more of a solution, as far
as users of Arch Linux is concerned.

An Evergreen local, who previously was both the Evergreen Area Chamber of Commerce advertising and membership director, has been named the chamber's interim president.
Betsy Hays, who also served as executive director of the Mountain Area Land Trust, will take over the helm of the chamber while its board of directors searches for a permanent president.
Lin Browning, who was the chamber's president for four years, resigned abruptly last week, citing family issues.
The Indian Hills Fire Boots volunteer auxiliary is planning a fund-raising dinner to benefit the family of Jeffco sheriff's Sgt. Sean Renfro on Saturday, Jan. 24.
Green and red chili will be served for $5 a plate at the event, which runs from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Indian Hills Fire Station, 4476 Parmalee Gulch Road. Dessert also will be offered for $2, and refreshments will be available at no cost.
If you are riding around this area on a nice winter day and see a lone black-and-white bird perched on a fence or utility line, it is probably a shrike.
The question is, "Which one?" because there are two species of shrikes that occur in different parts of our state at different times of the year. Shrikes are interesting birds that scientists have had trouble placing in the system of birds ever since they were first observed.
Last February was the culmination of a three-year push by the Evergreen Lady Cougars' girls swim team. It finally won that elusive 4A state championship, beating perennial powerhouse Thompson Valley by a commanding 88.5 points.
So if that was the case last year, then Evergreen's 143-43 lopsided victory over the visiting Lady Eagles on Jan. 10 at Wulf Recreation Center should serve notice that EHS has no intentions of releasing its perch atop the state pedestal.
Skaters at Evergreen Lake on Jan. 11 were treated to car races on the ice — radio-controlled cars, that is.
The small race course was in a corner of the rink, and skaters came by to watch as the cars, 14 inches long by 8 inches wide, moved deftly around hairpin turns and through straightaways. Think video games, only much more real and out of doors.
Sunday's races were part of a 10-event series called the Colorado Rally Championship. The races take place October through April, and the cars race on all sorts of terrain: gravel, mud, snow and now ice.
T&G Flooring has added its expertise to the furnishing businesses in the Evergreen Design Center on Meadow Drive.
Chris Keale bought the Denver business in 2007 and decided to bring it to Evergreen in October. It specializes in pre-finished and on-site-finished hardwood flooring.
Keale said he worked for global technology businesses for years. He bought the flooring business so he could work for himself and so he could leave something behind with lasting beauty.
CONIFER — A lot has gone the Conifer Lobos' way lately. Eric Valerio's boys basketball team — the same program that ended last year with a win over rival Evergreen — had started a school-best 8-0 and was previously ranked No. 10 in CHSAA's 4A poll.
But Jan. 14, the Lobos were hosting Evergreen, a team flying under the radar a bit thus far in the 2014-15 season and one that was excited to show what it could do.
It did quite well for itself as evident of its 60-52 win at Conifer High School.
In 2010, high school exchange student Toni Ann Santamaria got an idea for a clean-water project after attending an Evergreen Rotary meeting with her host mom, Barbara Wingate.
Things came full circle on Friday, when Evergreen Rotary members received a $1,000 award for raising money and serving as a catalyst to get the clean-water project built in a village near Santamaria's home village in the Philippines.
Jeffco's charter schools saw significantly greater enrollment growth than district-managed schools in the last year, and advocates say that greater availability of choice, high academic expectations and options for home-schoolers are responsible.

Explorer recreates part of Shackleton's ordeal, the greatest survival journey of all time
This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of what may very well be the greatest survival journey of all time — the Endurance expedition led by Ernest Shackleton. Endurance, the book which chronicles the voyage from primary sources, is probably the finest survival stories I've ever read. For those not familiar with […]

In which JFK puts space scientists firmly in their place
This recording, made on Nov. 21, 1962, offers a fascinating glimpse into the way in which President John F. Kennedy viewed NASA, and its scientists. The primary speakers are Kennedy and James Webb, the second administrator of NASA who presided over the space agency during most of the Apollo program. During the exchange Kennedy is […]

You've never heard of this woman, but she made one of the most profound observations in physics history
Most people can name a handful of female scientists from history, such as Marie Curie and Rosalind Franklin. But get beyond a handful of familiar names and you can forget it. Maybe it's because I've got two young daughters, but I'm continually amazed at how women in science during the last century often didn't get […]

On Thursday, a newspaper in central Pennsylvania, The Patriot News, issued a retraction 150 years in the making: Seven score and ten years ago, the forefathers of this media institution brought forth to its audience a judgment so flawed, so tainted by hubris, so lacking in the perspective history would bring, that it cannot remain […]

Kennedy's speech a 'tonic' for nation losing to Russia
Today's the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's speech at Rice University. You can read, and listen to, the speech here. It is rather stirring. As I wrote in today's paper, what is perhaps most surprising about Kennedy's speech is that people believed him. How would America respond to such a rousing speech today. The speech […]

Where does Armstrong rank among the 10 greatest explorers?
The recent death of Neil Armstrong spurred me to ponder who are the greatest explorers in history. Now, to be sure, so many of the great explorers are lost to history. Who led the first humans out of Africa sometime between 60,000 and 125,000 years ago? He or she was surely a great explorer. So, […]

Many pirates are pathological. So why do we romanticize them?
We romanticize pirates. The question is why. Historically they did very bad things, not only stealing but performing incredible acts of brutality. François l'Olonnais, a French pirate active in the Caribbean in the 1660s, was known to cut open the chests of his victims and take a bite out of their hearts. And modern pirates are no […]

The adventure game classic Grim Fandango has been remastered! It's now available on GOG, DRM-free.
The game requires the CD to be in the tray to run. This is the menu that displays when the CD is loaded and recognised. It's followed by a 'Software for Girls' screen
This is Barbie's Beauty Case. Its a game title screen. Clicking on it opens it up and starts the game
The Beauty Case opens to show the four available models. The icon in the lower left brings up the EXIT & Credits options. The icon in the lower right opens up Barbie's Beauty Book
When a model is selected the player gets the choice of a close up or a full length picture to play with. This is chosen by clicking on one of the icons in the upper central window
Now comes the choice of location. The player clicks to open the window and then clicks again to select. here the Fantasy Window is open.
A close up picture in the Fantasy location
Full length in the Fantasy location. The blue icon in the lower left shows that the styling option is active. This determines what beautifying options are available in the left & right arcs
Here a tray of swirly sequins has been opened. These can be applied singly, one per mouse click, or in strings by holding down the mouse button and drawing on the picture
The accessories icon makes hair extensions, tiaras, sunglasses and ribbons available. Note the hair extensions are not shown in the accessory arcs which have been moved round to show other things
The 'Fun Stamps' icon allows the player to add animated effects. Here two types of snow and some fluffy clouds have been added. One stamp can be placed over another to build an effect
The book icon in the bottom / centre of the screen allows the player to change the picture's background while retaining the foreground artistry
The mirror icon is used to add a friend into the picture. The friend can be either in close up or full length. This same screen is also used to remove a friend
Here is the friend added to the picture. The friend cannot be positioned on the screen and there can be only one friend per picture
Here one of the 'Scissors' is being used to remove the clouds obscuring Barbie's face
The coat hanger icon shows the model in a different outfit but .....
... when the outfit is changed so is the pose which means the artwork is now out of position.
Selecting the book icon in the lower right of the designer screen opens Barbies's Beauty Book and saves the players creation into it
The Beauty Book can also be opened from the Beauty Case screen. It holds preset pictures as well as pictures that the player saved. This is a prepared shot.

NHL players' money funded MLB parties
Updated: June 19, 2009, 8:50 PM ET
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- A golf resort developer duped nearly two dozen NHL players out of $25 million, blowing the money on gratuitous parties that were attended by former Yankees players Roger Clemens and Reggie Jackson, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The New York Post reported in Friday's edition that 19 former and current NHL players filed suit against Ken Jowdy, alleging they invested the money with the Las Vegas-based golf-course mogul to develop two luxury resorts in Mexico -- a project ...

Dear Fuzzy Readers, How was your summer? Productive I hope. Despite the lack of posts lately, I have in fact, been busy. On artsy things even! I am currently working with fellow world-builder and brilliant writer, Andrew Jack, creating a Lovecraftian themed webcomic. We have around eight pages completed so far. Once we get a season's worth finished, the site will be made public. Until then, nothing but teasers – teasers like this panel from the first comic. In other news, I'm still planning on boldly going forth with this year's Month of Monsters project in October. I've even put together a little site for the whole endeavor. ALSO and most importantly, I'm opening up the site to anyone who wishes to join me in this project. The full monstrous details can be found over at the Official Month of Monsters website. I encourage you to participate! 23 in '13 Project is still going, for me at least. However, I haven't had a chance to color the next piece yet. Right now these are being pushed to the side with all the work I'm doing with the aforementioned webcomic. As you may have noticed, the website has gone though a bit of a redesign. I'm still not too keen on how it's looking right now, so expect a few more changes before I quit messing with the colors and layout. I think that's about it. What have you been up to this summer?
One thought on "Updates and Month of Monsters"
Me and my sister made a lemonade stand. It was fun. Mommy helped make the lemonade. It was fun.
Also took a course in astrophysics. It was fun.

When God Himself Speaks to You
John Piper says that good news is so dense and so constant in Romans 8 — and so vastly superior to all earthly good news — that we scarcely feel the force of it until we take every verse of Romans 8 and restate it as the miracle it means for our lives.

This is something very basic to remember when reading the Bible. It is simple, very simple, but I think it recalibrates our hearts and stills the swirling of our minds, especially when we find ourselves in a rut.

Expounding Jesus's love command, John Piper writes that we cannot claim to truly love someone while being indifferent toward what destroys them. If we love our enemies, then we must hate the evil of our enemies that makes them so.

Sometimes the weight of our trials are so severe that we feel as if we can't keep our heads above the water. The pain is so vicious, the malaise so thick, that we can't imagine our situation ever changing. We can't see healing. We can't articulate hope. And when we try, it just hurts more.

At night when we go to bed, on a whole day when we pause our projects, in a season of vacation or Sabbatical, our stopping work is our saying "Enough!" to the merry-go-round. We don't have to ride this thing. There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God (Hebrews 4:9–10).

"The cool grey city of love." — George Sterling
To receive our monthly e-newsletter with class listings, special offers and more, enter your email address:
The Cooking School, under the direction of Chef Jayne Reichert, has an ever-changing roster of classes, programs and tastings. These are held in concert with the Bay Area's treasure trove of small organic farms, artisan producers, vineyards and innovative chefs. The impressive list of noted guest chefs who have shared their expertise in the Cooking School includes Kelsie Kerr, Gayle Pirie, John Clark, Bryant Terry, Rebecca Katz, Joanne Weir, Michael Tusk, Traci des Jardins and many others. Cavallo Point's own Pastry Chef, Ethan Howard, also appears frequently.
Jayne Reichert was raised on a farm where fresh eggs came from the neighbor's chicken coop, meat was butchered at her grandfather's farm, and vegetables were picked from the garden in the yard. As a girl, she helped harvest green beans for dinner, made mud pies in the yard, and played with her Easy Bake Oven. Growing up in this wholesome environment with the opportunity to watch her mother prepare meals from scratch provided Jayne with ample culinary inspiration from a very early age.
Jayne studied journalism at Arizona State University while she continued to cultivate her own set of culinary and entertaining skills. In college, she hosted many a dinner for roommates, friends and family. Upon graduation, she received an offer to build a Catering, Culinary and Event Program for The Sports Club Company in Irvine, CA. Jayne was a natural hostess with the drive of an entrepreneur, and before she knew it had transformed this forte into her career choice.
Over the next 19 years, Jayne developed and orchestrated events and culinary programs for The Sports Club Company, KBA Marketing, Disney Studios, Chateau St. Jean and The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. In 1998, she made a bold decision to enroll in the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. After graduating from CCA, she opened a cutlery and knife-sharpening store called Razor Sharp Cutlery in San Francisco. Jayne also launched a Personal Chef and Catering Company called BITE, with clientele in San Francisco, Sausalito and Tiburon, CA.
Jayne comes to Cavallo Point with background rooted in creating homegrown innovative culinary events. She is a consummate hostess with a dash of Chicago bravado (her great grandmother was one of the first female cooks at The Palmer House in Chicago), and has a penchant for sharing good food with a firm belief that cooking should be fun and accessible for chefs of all levels of expertise. Jayne currently resides in Sausalito with a 4-legged friend named Ted.
Linda Tay Esposito is a self taught chef whose food represents a tribute and a commitment to the authenticity of the cuisines of the Pacific Rim. She grew up in Malaysia, lived in China and Hong Kong and traveled extensively in the region exploring the vast culinary offerings and traditions, and capturing the essence of the local cuisines. She brings these exciting flavors, passion and knowledge to the classroom. By demystifying the traditional dishes and techniques from the region through easy to follow and intuitive instructions, her style of teaching makes even the most complex of curries simple to make and a gastro-adventure experience.
Linda previously taught the Asian curriculums at Sur La Table Cooking School in San Francisco and at Whole Foods Market Culinary Center in San Mateo.
Louella Hill is owner of The San Francisco Milk Maid, and she loves making cheese. Years ago, while on a sheep farm in Italy, it dawned on Louella that she could make cheese professionally and be a part of the process all the way from grass to dinner plate. Since then, Louella has continued to fall more in love with this art form. As a cheese teacher, she's been able to share this love with others.
Louella Hill's book on home cheesemaking, "Kitchen Creamery: Making Yogurt, Butter, and Cheese at Home," will be released Winter 2014. Pre-order yours today!

Reminds me of the Buddha's last words: "All things must pass".
They sweep their ancestors's graves clean and slash back the foliage with which the jungle tries to reclaim untended tombs. They scrub the headstones and sometimes repaint the epitaphs. They burn joss and candles and strew coloured paper. They make bonfires of paper ghost-money and of gifts for the afterworld. One lucky grandmother this year got a new handbag, a pair of shoes and frock. A great-grandfather, dead these past 80 years, scored an iPhone5 (in replica but, one assumes, preloaded with all the apps a contemporary ghost might need). They leave offerings of fruit, cakes, tea and, sometimes, duck, fish, pork or cockles (to be consumed by the living, with the shells scattered about to symbolise money).
Little old ladies have to be carried up the muddy paths between the graves. Some families are in a rush, with other ancestors in other cemeteries to visit later on. Some make a day of it, taking time to fold the ghost money, and staying for a picnic of the foodstuffs the dead will not, after all, enjoy by themselves. Tai Liu Sai's elderly great-grandson, who has rescued his grave even while a number of its neighbours have been subsumed by the undergrowth, does so because "I promised my granny." When he is gone, his own daughter may not come; he does not want to burden her with the responsibility. Just down the hill is the grave of Lee Hoon Leong, a grandfather of Singapore's founding prime minister, and great-grandfather of the incumbent. As of the morning of March 30th, it had not been swept during this Qing Ming.
The government is showing consideration for the people directly affected as well as for the fauna. Descendants of those in the graves that lie in the way of the road have until April 15th to register for exhumation, and until May 31st to arrange for their disinterment. The government has commissioned a team to document all that is known about the graves to be dug up. That task completed, it is also preparing an oral history of the nearby village of grave-tenders, headstone carvers, fruit-sellers and golf caddies (the posh Island Country Club is just across the road), which was cleared a generation ago. After the deadline, the government will, at the taxpayer's expense, arrange exhumations and cremations, and store the ashes for three years in a columbarium. Remains still unclaimed will then be dispersed at sea.
Bukit Brown has become a focus for active protest, too. Here I should declare an interest: the protesters have my sympathy. Banyan, his family and their dog all love the place. They like its beauty, its trees (including some favourite specimens of my arboreal namesake), its birds and monkeys and the inexhaustible discoveries the tombstones offer. And we like the people who frequent Bukit Brown, including the diffuse but devoted band of activists who are dedicated to trying, almost certainly forlornly, to save it from the developers.
Naturally, I like to think that mine is more than a selfish sense of outrage. Bukit Brown is an important part of Singapore's "heritage". That should give it a certain protection, these days. Liew Kai Khiun, a local academic, noted in a post on a Malaysian blog how in the 1960s a government minister had dismissed objections to the clearance of another graveyard by asking "Do you want me to look after our dead grandparents, or do you want to look after your grandchildren?"
These days, Mr Liew reckons, the government feels that it has to tread more delicately. It has just announced free entry for Singaporeans from May 18th to all national museums; and the government is to pump more money into television programmes exploring Singapore's history. An explicit model is this year's "History from the Hills", which used Bukit Brown to tell Singapore's story.
The rekindled interest in heritage is part of a broader conversation about what it means to be Singaporean, which in turn is bound up with the biggest political issues: population and immigration. Already, probably more than half of Singapore's people were born elsewhere. Singaporeans are having very few children—their women's average fertility rate is among the lowest in the world.
The government argues that, if living standards are to go on rising, the population has to grow. In January a government white paper on the population projected that it would increase from 5.3m now to 6m by 2020 and to 6.5m-6.9m by 2030. But this angered many of the less well-off Singaporeans, whose main daily grouses are the unaffordability of housing and the difficulty of getting onto the underground at rush hour. Many blame both problems, as well as their low wages, in part on an influx of foreigners.
So the government also talks of the importance of keeping a "Singaporean core". For the ethnic-Chinese that make up three-quarters of that core, Bukit Brown—until it closed in 1973, the only municipal pan-Chinese cemetery, as opposed to those dedicated to different clans or dialect groups—is a central part of their heritage.
It is also the scene of an important battle in the fall of Singapore in February 1942. Jon Cooper, a British battlefield historian, paints a vivid picture of the horrors of that struggle, as young British soldiers from the 4th Suffolk regiment, newly arrived in Singapore after the long sea voyage, took shelter from an artillery barrage in the tombs of Bukit Brown, and fled through its tangled undergrowth and scattered structures as the Japanese advanced with naked bayonets and swords, and screams of "Banzai!". Some were never seen again.
The expressway through Bukit Brown seems of questionable utility. The government has said it is needed to combat congestion on nearby roads, where, according to its forecasts, the volume of traffic will be 20% greater by 2020. Activists argue, first, that it would be better to find ways to curb car use, and, second, that the true point of the road is as the first step in a bigger plan. The whole area was designated for residential use as long ago as 1991.
This is what Singapore's government has always done: look around corners on behalf of its people and then plan ahead, confident enough in its own infallibility and in the inevitability of its re-election to ignore pressure groups and resist pandering to populism. Even its critics concede it has been very successful. But times have changed. Social media have turned isolated, silent dissent into more concerted, vocal protest. In response, the government makes much these days of its willingness to "listen" and consult. The political opposition—with fewer than 10% of the seats in parliament—seems a long way from power. But it can no longer be dismissed as an irrelevance, and for now at least, the political momentum is with it.
In this context, the struggle over Bukit Brown takes on a wider meaning. Among the improbable coalition of birdwatchers, conservationists and heritage buffs trying to stop the road are a few who see a broader political goal: of testing the government's promises of a new responsiveness. In that sense, as in many, the argument over the fate of the graveyard may look like a tussle over Singapore's past. But it is really about its future.

Tuesday, April 24
Philips Arena
Attendance: 18,223
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Joe Johnson scored 28 points, Jeff Teague had 21 and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 109-102, on Tuesday night.
Josh Smith chipped in with 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who have won four of five heading into their regular season finale Thursday against the Mavericks.
If they win -- or Boston loses to Milwaukee on Thursday -- the Hawks will have homecourt advantage over the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.
They could have clinched it Tuesday, but Boston came back to beat Miami. The Celtics won the Atlantic Division for the No. 4 seed but have one fewer win than the Hawks.
"I mean it's big. It's big," said Smith of potentially having homecourt advantage. "It's nothing we're really trying to break our necks over. I think we just really want to go into the postseason as healthy as possible, just try to go out there and make sure that everybody that plays major minutes are healthy.
"So we'll see how it goes. Hopefully we'll get this next win to solidify it."
The Clippers' loss clinched the Pacific Division for the Los Angeles Lakers, who will have the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
Blake Griffin scored 36 points and Chris Paul had 34 for the Clippers -- the second time this season they both had at least 30.
Smith scored 10 points in the third, including six during a 15-2 Hawks run to end the quarter. Teague had the first seven points in the burst, which gave Atlanta an 85-72 lead going into the fourth.
A big swing came late in the game when Johnson knocked down a three-pointer from the left side after Griffin was whistled for a loose ball foul on Teague at the other end.
The shot made it 100-91 with 1 1/2 minutes remaining and Johnson banked in another three moments later after Paul and Griffin had scored five straight points to get the Clippers within four.
Griffin and Paul also surpassed 30 points in a win over Utah on Feb. 1. They were the only Clippers to score in double digits against the Hawks.
"We had other guys going. That just happened to be [where] our scoring came from," said Griffin. "I thought everybody played pretty well. We just got to do a better job of not giving up leads and making careless mistakes down the stretch."
Griffin had 16 points in the first quarter and the Clippers shot better than 54 percent, but only led 28-23 heading into the second. Griffin had four points during a 9-2 run that pulled LA out of an early seven-point hole.
The Hawks, behind 11 points from Marvin Williams off the bench in the second quarter, rallied to take a 52-50 lead at halftime. Williams led a 14-2 Atlanta burst during the quarter.

The only thing I know about electrical matters is not to fool with something that I don't understand. However, I have a repetitive problem (each spring) -- my garage and outside power outlets don't work.
Last year, I called an electrician and was embarrassed that he fixed the problem in about a minute, by tripping a blue colored circuit breaker, located at the bottom center of my circuit breaker box. He said (more or less) that the blue circuit breaker served was like the GFCI switch in bathrooms, since the outside outlets don't have a GFCI reset. So this year, same problem. But flipping the blue switch didn't cure anything. I also flipped the circuit breakers labelled for outside and garage outlets, but still no juice. Any suggestions? My electrician is great - I really like him, but I don't want to get him out for another 1-minute job! Thanks so much for any suggestions. |

Turn the breaker absolutely and completely OFF. Then turn it back on. A spring-loaded mechanism inside is "cocked" much like a firearm. An overload or ground fault is the "trigger" that fires that mechanism. Turning it OFF begins the process of resetting the mechanism. |
BINGO, Bus-driver. I did what you said; flipped that breaker more than once. Electrician did it once, and recognized that it wasn't really re-setting. So he pushed it a little harder the second time, and it re-set properly. (Why didn't I think of that? Your absolutely and completely OFF should have been the clue.) Oh, well - live and learn. |
