Boys Soccer: Familiar foes will meet at Aurora Central Regional
Aurora Central Catholic's David Petesch (13) celebrates his first half goal with teammates Enrique Anaya (3), and Joaquin Macho Thursday at Marmion.Mary Beth Nolan~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: October 3, 2012 6:18PM
If there's one thing coaches agree on besides how difficult it is to beat a team twice, it's how much harder it is to play an opponent three times.
Encore success or revenge is what the IHSA Class 1A playoffs come down to for Beacon-News area teams as the Aurora Central Regional opens Friday with Plano hosting Newark. The victor gains the chance to take on top-seeded Somonauk in a Tuesday semifinal, while the opposite bracket has No. 3 Aurora Central facing No. 2 Hinckley-Big Rock.
Apart from the fact that virtually every one has played everyone else, the regional could be a case of déjà vu to the Little Ten Conference Tournament, which will conclude Thursday with Somonauk taking on Hinckley-Big Rock for the title.
"Obviously, we all pretty much know what's coming and it really is difficult to play any good team three times and get a positive result," said Somonauk coach Dave Erasmus, mindful of how his Bobcats beat H-BR during the regular season and in the LTC tourney only to lose a 2011 regional title match to the Royals. "I've been doing this for 12 years and as time goes by, the top teams get closer and closer to each other in talent and skill. You just don't see any one program dominate others anymore."
Since opening 2012 with consecutive losses, Somonauk (15-2-2) is riding a 17-match unbeaten streak. Much of the Bobcats' success can be attributed to a well-balanced offense that features double-figure point totals from six players — each of whom has at least one match-winner to his credit.
Senior Trevor Siegler's 34 points (10 goals, 14 assists) is just ahead of sophomore Tommy Skupien's 33 points (11 goals, 11 assists). Sophomore Josh Schmitt is next at 28 (team-high 12 goals, four assists).
"I believe the key for us is that we move the ball so well," said Kyle Hatton, a senior defender who boasts 15 points (7 goals, 1 assist). "We've had really solid practices emphasizing hard work and that has translated onto the field in matches. Everyone wants to be the top seed for any kind of tournament, and we've earned both of the ones we've got. Now we're determined to prove we deserve them."

How to: Replacing a lost social security card
Apr 6, 2012, 6 a.m.
Certain important personal documents should be guarded like gold, including your social security card. At some point, however, you may discover that you need a replacement social security card. It is good to know that getting a new social security card is not a major chore, but relative easy.
If you are a U.S. citizen, a legal immigrant or a non-citizen, your social security card is one of the most important personal documents you can obtain. It usually is required by employers for tax and payment records, obtaining a job, opening a bank account, medical treatment and other purposes. It is so important that you don't carry this document around with you. Leave it at home, or protected in a bank box or other secure location.
Why protect this document?
Identity thieves love to get their hands on someone's social security card. They can do great damage just by knowing this number or having access to the actual card. The IRS maintains your earnings record over your entire lifetime and it is used to determine many government benefits.
How can I get a free replacement social security card?
If you have lost this important document, you need to obtain a new social security card. You can only do this 10 times in your lifetime; three times in any one year. There are certain exceptions, such as legal name changes.
Order a replacement social security card in person or by mail. The procedure is similar, regardless of your citizenship status; non-residents and immigrants need to provide current proof and official papers verifying their legal status.
Provide the Social Security office with original documents to prove your age, identity and legal U.S. citizen or immigrant status. Most people use a driver's license, birth certificate or passport for this requirement.
Use an official application (Form SS-5) that you can obtain from any Social Security local office or their online website, www.ssa.gov . Deliver it in person or mail it in with documentation. Any originals will be returned to you. Once the agency has verified your documentation, they will send you a new card. Your new social security card will have the same assigned number as your original.

Nominate your parent for the 2014-2015 Parent of the Year award by filling out the form below.
The 2013-2014 Parent of the Year is Ernesto Victor Sierra
Here is the winning essay, written by Ernesto's daughter, Linda Casas.
February 28, 2013, was one of the hardest days for my dad and me. My dad has been suffering from dementia for the past three years. He had lived with me for 14 years. He was my strength. He was my encouragement. He was my best friend. He was everything to me as I was to him. My mom had died 12 years ago; and because I was the only sibling without a mate, I chose to care for him. For years, he would give me advice (sometimes I wanted to say, "Dad, I am a grownup!") and I let him because it made him feel important and knowledgeable. He was such a knowledgeable man with many, many experiences to learn from.
I was working as a paraprofessional until my dad could not be left alone. I stayed home to care for my dad full time and also continue my education part time.
During these past three years, I learned so much from my dad. He struggled to remember things but that did not discourage him. He continued to make life count for him. Not only does he have this crippling disease but he is legally blind and deaf. I would find him at times in his room close to the tv trying to find the scores of the baseball games, his love of baseball. What he loved most of all were his great-grandchildren. He loved to play with them. He would get on all fours and give them rides. When it was baseball or basketball season, I would bundle him up and take him with me to see the grandchildren play in their tournaments. He could not see them but he was there. To him, that was very important. He let them know that he was very proud of them all the time.
My dad never stopped encouraging me. How could I not learn from his strength when everyday he always saw the best in life even without his vision or hearing and now less of his mind. He never complained although he wondered why he would forget things but he would say, "Got to see the doctor to see what he can give me."
The last months at home were the most difficult. We would fall together. We would cry together. We would laugh together. We would share our meals together. Most importantly, we were together! We still supported and encouraged each other. He would scold me when I felt down. He would say, "Life is too precious...look at what we do have and cherish it."
My dad was a very strong man. On February 28, I wheeled my dad into the memory care unit. My heart tore from my being when I left him. I visit him every day and I still learn from his strength. We still laugh together, I help feed him, I wheel-chair him outside the facility, let him feel the cool breeze and the sun hitting his face, loving him more each day.

Here at Nutiva, we're all about finding accessible and beneficial superfoods that are filled to the brim with nutritional value. We were happy to hit the jackpot with chia seeds. Chia seeds are an ancient food native to South America and absolutely loaded with beneficial nutrients. They are also an incredible superfood because of their versatility. If you haven't already added chia seeds into your diet, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Well, we're here to let you know! No superfood kitchen is complete without this incredible and versatile food.
What's all the Chia Craze?
Why all the attention on this simple seed? Well, chia seeds have earned their keep as a true ancient superfood. This tiny but mighty seed is packed with omega-3, soluble and insoluble fiber, minerals (more calcium by weight than milk), antioxidants, and protein. It's a remarkably versatile superfood because it doesn't have much of a flavor on its own. That means that you can add chia seeds to sweet as well as savory foods and enjoy them each step of the way. Chia seeds are also unique because they swell up to 12 times their weight in liquid in just about 10 minutes!
Chia Seeds in Sweet Foods
If you're already familiar with chia seeds, you've likely used them in sweet foods. Chia pudding is a naturally-sweetened favorite for adults and children alike. It's incredibly simple to make, so if you haven't already tried it, it's time! Check out this simple recipe for an easy overnight pudding that is highly customizable. Chia seeds are also easily added to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, shakes, and cereal. You can use them as a base for a homemade, healthy chocolate pudding too. Use them to make no-bake pumpkin pie or homemade muffins.
Earlier, we mentioned that chia seeds could retain a great deal of moisture. Not only is this terrific when make chia pudding, but it also means you can prepare your own chia drink at home instead of buying it at the store. Those chia drinks are sometimes loaded with extra sweeteners and not-so-natural ingredients. You can easily avoid this by making it yourself. The chia seed's amazing water retention also makes chia seeds a shoe-in for an egg replacement in vegan baking! Chia seeds are much like flaxseeds, in that they will form a gelatinous substance that can be substituted in place of eggs in a 1:1 ratio. Chia seeds are a better choice than flaxseed, however, because they have more omega-3 acids. These Essential Fatty Acids have been tied to Alzheimer's prevention, brain health and anti-inflammatory activity.
Chia Seeds in Savory Foods
Ready to try chia seeds in a new way? Use dry, whole chia seeds like you would poppy seeds and sprinkle them on your salads. Lightly toast some seeds in a pan and use them as a topping in savory dishes like sautéed zucchini or other vegetables. Unlike flaxseeds, chia seeds can be digested easily whole. Take advantage of that and make homemade chia seed crackers! Why not add them in with your next stir-fry? Find out more great ways to try savory chia dishes at the Nutiva Kitchen.
Does Organic Matter?
All of Nutiva's chia seeds, whether the dark, white, or milled variety, are certified organic. We believe that this is incredibly important because conventional chia seeds are often sprayed with pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Though there is no GMO variety of chia seeds (yet), many growers still spray their crop of chia seeds with harmful chemicals. Our seeds are grown organically and certified by the USDA. Not only is it important to go for organic chia seeds for the health of you and your family, it is also important for the health of our water systems, plants, animals and the planet as a whole. Get some great deals on Nutiva's certified organic chia seeds by signing up for our Healthy Lifestyle Newsletter at the bottom of this post.
What are some of your favorite ways to enjoy chia seeds? Let us know in the comments section below!

SunRun lines up $200 million for solar financing
SunRun said that it has secured $200 million from a bank to finance the installation of residential solar panels, a sign of confidence in a business model that avoids the upfront cost of solar.
The company said that a subsidiary of US Bancorp will provide the money, which will be the largest single fund for financing residential solar projects. US Bancorp has already made financing available to SunRun in separate deals.
Prices for solar panels themselves continue to fall but, with installation half the cost of an array, the upfront cost remains a barrier to residential solar. The financing model … Read more

Democracy in America Is a Useful FictionPosted on Jan 24, 2010By Chris Hedges (Page 2) "Inverted totalitarianism reverses things," Wolin writes. "It is politics all of the time but a politics largely untempered by the political. Party squabbles are occasionally on public display, and there is a frantic and continuous politics among factions of the party, interest groups, competing corporate powers, and rival media concerns. And there is, of course, the culminating moment of national elections when the attention of the nation is required to make a choice of personalities rather than a choice between alternatives. What is absent is the political, the commitment to finding where the common good lies amidst the welter of well-financed, highly organized, single-minded interests rabidly seeking governmental favors and overwhelming the practices of representative government and public administration by a sea of cash." Hollywood, the news industry and television, all corporate controlled, have become instruments of inverted totalitarianism. They censor or ridicule those who critique or challenge corporate structures and assumptions. They saturate the airwaves with manufactured controversy, whether it is Tiger Woods or the dispute between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. They manipulate images to make us confuse how we are made to feel with knowledge, which is how Barack Obama became president. And the draconian internal control employed by the Department of Homeland Security, the military and the police over any form of popular dissent, coupled with the corporate media's censorship, does for inverted totalitarianism what thugs and bonfires of books do in classical totalitarian regimes. "It seems a replay of historical experience that the bias displayed by today's media should be aimed consistently at the shredded remains of liberalism," Wolin writes. "Recall that an element common to most 20th century totalitarianism, whether Fascist or Stalinist, was hostility towards the left. In the United States, the left is assumed to consist solely of liberals, occasionally of 'the left wing of the Democratic Party,' never of democrats." Liberals, socialists, trade unionists, independent journalists and intellectuals, many of whom were once important voices in our society, have been silenced or targeted for elimination within corporate-controlled academia, the media and government. Wolin, who taught at Berkeley and later at Princeton, is arguably the country's foremost political philosopher. And yet his book was virtually ignored. This is also why Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich and Cynthia McKinney, along with intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, are not given a part in our national discourse. Advertisement Square, Site wide The civic, patriotic and political language we use to describe ourselves remains unchanged. We pay fealty to the same national symbols and iconography. We find our collective identity in the same national myths. We continue to deify the Founding Fathers. But the America we celebrate is an illusion. It does not exist. Our government and judiciary have no real sovereignty. Our press provides diversion, not information. Our organs of security and power keep us as domesticated and as fearful as most Iraqis. Capitalism, as Karl Marx understood, when it emasculates government, becomes a revolutionary force. And this revolutionary force, best described as inverted totalitarianism, is plunging us into a state of neo-feudalism, perpetual war and severe repression. The Supreme Court decision is part of our transformation by the corporate state from citizens to prisoners. Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent, writes a column published every Monday on Truthdig. His latest book is "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle."

BSNOW's post on "hiding your guns" reminded me of something I was considering... an emergency gun stashed in both of my bathrooms.
Both of my 2 bathrooms were remodeled years ago, and they removed the standard "in the wall" medicine cabinets and installed wood cabinets that match the vanities/sinks. They covered the holes with large (roughly 2x3) mirrors. So behind the mirrors are framed out "holes" in the drywall where the old medicine cabinets used to be.
So here's the idea... what if I took down the mirrors, placed a loaded pistol and spare mag in the framed out nook, and put the mirrors back? In a home invasion or other emergency, my wife would need to just get to a bathroom, smash the mirror with a can of hairspray, and she is now armed. The guns are safe from guests and kids, as these heavy mirrors are almost a 2-man job to remove and require a screwdriver to get them off the wall.
It's dry and dusty in there... no moisture. A thorough lube should keep any rust at bay. The downside is that there will be glass all over the vanity and possibly the floor if the mirror is broken, but in an emergency, that is the least of my concerns... I'm mainly concerned about my hunnee home alone. In an emergency, she can take the phone in the bathroom, lock the door, call the cops, and smash the mirror, if need be...
Your thoughts...?

NanoLumens announced today that it has deployed one of its new NanoSlim LED displays in the front window of a brand new retail cosmetics store in New York's SoHo shopping and arts neighborhood. According to NanoLumens President and CEO Rick Cope, the installation, which was made at the M·A·C Cosmetics store, marks the first time the company's flexible "digital wallpaper" is being installed in a fixed retail installation.
"SoHo represents the cutting edge in art, retail, and fashion," Cope said in the announcement. "It attracts millions of visitors from all over the world. Retailers looking to make a lasting impression on this very discerning audience know that they have to go beyond the 'usual' methods of engaging and holding the attention of consumers. They have to stop them in their tracks and immerse them in a messaging environment that compels them to enter the store."
The NanoSlim display installed in the SoHo store measures 4.5 feet wide by 9 feet tall and is less than 3 inches deep, allowing the retailer to maximize valuable retail floor space. The display boasts a seamless 4mm pixel pitch with high resolution, high brightness and off-axis viewing angles to effectively engage consumers from any distance or viewing angle.
Diversified Media Group, which installed the NanoFlex display, sees a bright future for businesses and venues that utilize the amazingly versatile and eye-popping technology, according to DMG President John Melillo.
"Our designers and engineers were excited about the NanoLumens displays from the very first time they saw them," Melillo said in the announcement. "They really are unlike any other displays on the market today — they're lightweight, ultra-bright and rugged, so they are capable for use in popular retail stores, as well as transportation centers and other large high-traffic venues. These displays will breeze through bumps and splashes that would knock out other displays. Our experiential design team recognizes that what really sets the NanoLumens displays apart is they can be built to any size with no bezels — there's no lines or breaks in the picture at any size imaginable, custom built to fit any application."

Brad Paisley: Wheelhouse Get into your "Southern Comfort Zone" on Brad Paisley tour dates for his latest album Wheelhouse! Following the success of his Virtual Reality tour, Paisley is going back on the road with new material! Brad Paisley Wins CMA International Artist Achievement AwardStanding tall in a long line of Country music's great storytellers, Brad Paisley has a special knack for telling the story with a twist that usually ends in a joke and has made him a favorite of fans everywhere. Literally everywhere. Paisley was recently awarded the CMA International Artist Achievement Award at the the 2012 CMA Festival. With fans on every continent and a long list of Country music awards, Paisley is reaching out to a new audience with his first book, Diary of a Player! Brad Paisley Tour Dates 2015Brad Paisley tickets propel the fortunate country music fan into the heart of a multi-talented American musician. Paisley delivers the goods live on the strength of his vocal talent, unique guitar skills and awesome penmanship. It is this songwriting ability that has led to him becoming one of the top sellers in the country genre. Paisley gave free rein to his array of musical talents on his American Saturday Night album. It seems that with that album, Paisley finally arrived. If you're a fan of real country with a modern pop twist and some traditional Nashville guitar work, then Brad Paisley is the sound for you. The Brad Paisley American Saturday Night tour earned Paisley the best reviews of his life from a jaded press eager for an original voice. Paisley has said of this album and tour, "I really didn't hold back," he said. "I talk about some really personal stuff in my life. It felt like that was the new frontier for me." It is this blend of honesty and accomplishment that has made Brad Paisley one of country's leading musicans this past few years. Pizza delivery guys and presidents can both relate to him, and this means a huge fan base. Paisley has much to be happy about right now, following the latest addition to the family in the form of Jasper Warren Paisley, his new-born son. Always a big family man, Brad penned his recent ballad "Then" in honor of his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley. Most notably, this ode to love became Paisley's 10th Number One Country hit. American Saturday Night marks a departure from Paisley's previous creative stance. The album focuses on more substantial issues, such as the American economy and state of the art technology. Gone is the role playing and method acting for which Paisley was recognized in earler works. This time around he is talking straight, about his personal life, the state of the nation, and society's place in this modern era. On top of that, Brad has co-hosted the CMA awards with none other than Carrie Underwood! Imagine that pairing. The two were reigning Male and Female Vocalists respectively. Paisley had the distinguished honor of playing before President Barack Obama when the First Family, Congressmen and women and White House staff were treated to a night of country. Rock stars Alison Krauss and Charley Pride accompanied Paisley during the July 21 performance in which Paisley joked with President Obama about what he was doing on Election Day. Fun Fact: Brad likes to crack jokes in his songs about current pop culture and the way we live. |

Would You Like Guys With That?
Thank you Amanda for ruining my day, my week and my quite a long time after that with this, which I sure as hell hope turns out to be some kind of weird hoax.
In what's being called an attempt to raise awareness of sexual minorities, an artist from Japan cooked up a ballsack buffet and served it to what can only be described as crazy people. Who's pecker did he prepare, you may wonder. Um…well…his own!
ao Sugiyama, 22, had his genitals removed in early April. They were initially frozen, then defrosted and cooked for customers at an event on April 13.
Sugiyama charged diners 20,000 yen ($250) for the dish. He cooked the genitals himself, under the supervision of a professional chef.
Diners were required to sign a waiver releasing Sugiyama and the event organizers from any liability arising from eating the genitals.
As if that's not enough, he also wanted to serve up his nipples, but his attempt to burn them off with Sodium hydroxide was unsuccessful.
Even as I'm writing this I can't help but think I'm being had, but a little more digging has unearthed this more detailed story from the AFP. the dates are different, but there are comments from police and the man(?) himself, pulled from his Twitter and email.
And just in case you want to hear more about what was served, here ya go. No, I don't care if you want to hear more or not. I had to, so you're suffering along.
Diners paid 20,000 yen ($250) for the plate with a portion of genitals. Pictures published on a website appeared to show the meal came complete with mushrooms and a parsley garnish.
The painter, who is reportedly 22, said on Twitter the organ had been removed by a physician and certified to be free of infections.
How is this legal? Why are people not being arrested left and right for cooking and eating the left and the right? Well, there appears to be no law against cannibalism in Japan, so the cops are content to just let it go without looking into it.
Oh, how I wish I was as smart as those cops.
10 Responses to "Would You Like Guys With That?"
I think you meant, Cani-ballism, did you not?
I always pass the bizarre on to you guys!
I couldn't resist passing that one along.
I've about figured out that Japanese people are royally fucked up in the head with their culture and everything else lol.
So Steve, what's for supper?
You still got your boys?
You love me.
You've got to love the resident Texan
I'm telling you, the Japanese are fucked up.
And I can't apologize for tonight's game, that was just too damn entertaining. -
Honestly, after the last few games the Rangers had, that was coming.
Hopefully we continue with what we did last night! -
Who knows, I just hope your baseball jinxes keep working in my favor

Mentoring Program
Expectations of Alumni
Mentors are Pepperdine Law Alumni who have volunteered to help bridge the gap between the academic environment and the professional world. Alumni mentors are expected to be responsive and sensitive to their mentee's concerns and questions about their professional future. Mentors should be respectful and aware of the academic constraints on their mentee's schedule.
Alumni should be aware that depending on the number of students that have registered, it is possible that not all mentors will be paired with a mentee. But we encourage ALL Alumni to still become a mentor, as the Mentoring Program will continue to pair mentors with registered students from the incoming class and current classes each fall.
If you are interested in participating, please click the link below:
The Mentoring Program runs throughout the academic year, from August to June, officially beginning at New Student Orientation and ending with a program follow-up survey released in June.

Remember to check out Adrienne's Senior Year Blog. Through weekly postings, Adrienne Baker lets us into her days and nights with an intimacy that brings back all the joy and angst of college life.
From October 14: "My birthday is next week and being 22 seems so bizarre. The people I know who are younger give me that freaked out look when they find out how old I'll be, which is simply an indication that 22 stands as an icon of adulthood for many people my age. So it goes."

I enjoyed reading this thread and some of the other ideas that was expressed. I had an idea for a new play style, champion and I been building on this idea for a little while. Please look and comment. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...+champion+idea
well i was think ing since its the 3rd season and all like maby you could give us a refund or 2. @_@
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...1#post31551557 well, my first character concept all im asking is opinions on it, if it turns out well im going to attempt to make an animation of him, if not then, well i shall try again
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2820705 My first character concept, I want to know if it's good, opinions, reviews, anything. Thanks!
I'm certain that this is not the first time it has been suggested to make Kassadin's daughter into a champion, but I think my friend Joriele and I have come up with the most persuasive case so far: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2821610
Riot the next time you make a new champion can you please not always make everything IP6300
Hi Riot sorry for the out topic. [B]I[B] think the Frist win of the day must become a Frist play of the day becose: #1 the frist win of the day can make pepole mad after alot of game lost ex: 5 lost in one day but no win you lost the frist win of the day but you play 5 game. #2 you already put more ip for winner after all game. ex: 89 ip for win and 62 for a lost. #3 I think may be pepole whit bad language (**** and **** and noob) have may be a raison for it (they lost like #1 alot of game and start to be mad) #4 I think it would be fun and be ok to give ip for playing lost or not it will make pepole - mad and make them happy to play so may be more gold. #5 you could try in the preseason to make the frist win of the day a frist play of the day Thx Riot and sorry again for the bad english and plz think about it. Bye and Thx
Moby the White
Hey CCF! I am Moby the White. Most people call me Moby. I enjoy making champs but the best part for me is writing the lore. I recently started helping other people with their lore and even writing entire lores for some people. I've written lore for at least 5 champions that are not my own, and have assisted with quite a few others. I have 5 champions of my own that I constantly edit and perfect as time goes on. If you are in need of assistance and want help with your lore or you need lore I'm more than willing to help you anything from an original concept, a rework, or even a total redo, just let me know via my main thread because I check it daily. Thanks, Moby

HoopsHype Jay Triano rumors
Bryan Colangelo on Jay Triano: "Clearly he did everything we asked him to do this year. He stuck to that plan" … even if his reputation or record took a hit. Colangelo gave him a ton of credit for sticking to that plan and noted that the players have a true, genuine like and respect for Triano. "If I'm not here, he deserves consideration as as a head coach." FAN590
Eric Smith: Ed Davis said he'd like to see Jay Triano & his staff back next year. Add he hasn't thought much (yet) about the potential lockout Twitter
The Raptors have an option for another year on Triano's contract that has to be picked up by June. The contracts of his assistants, except P.J. Carlesimo, are expiring as well. Triano and his staff have spoken briefly about the future, but tried not to dwell on their murky futures. "The conversation usually goes: `Guys, there's nothing we can do about this but our jobs, and let's go out there and be very prepared and let's not stop working,' " Triano said. "It's a trait we want to extend through the players as well. "Sometimes we forget that they're 21, 22 years old. We want to set a good example by always being prepared, and never giving up. Then at the end of the day, nobody will have a problem looking in the mirror and saying, 'I did the best I could.' " CP24
But as the late Canadian coaching legend Jack Donohue used to tell Triano, the only thing within his control is today. "Jack used to tell us, 'Yesterday is a cancelled cheque, and tomorrow is a promisory note, and today is cash in hand,' " Triano said. "The only one that has any immediate value is the cash in hand. "So live each day and do the best that you can every single day. That's the way we've approached this, and I think it's a great way to approach life: live every day and plan for the future, and dream for it, but you've got a chance to make a mark today, so do it today." CP24
Jay Triano, Toronto: A complicated ownership situation and the uncertainty of GM Bryan Colangelo's future aren't helping, but one source insists Triano's bosses are "happy" with the job he has done, even though the third-year coach has a .381 winning percentage since taking over in December 2008. SI.com
Virtually guaranteed to go are the Pistons' John Kuester, the Timberwolves' Kurt Rambis, the Hawks' Larry Drew (unless his team pulls a first-round upset, and even then I see it heppening), the Pacers' Frank Vogel (same-same), the Warriors' Keith Smart, the Wizards' Flip Saunders and the Raptors' Jay Triano, particularly if Bryan Colangelo doesn't get a new deal -- and maybe even if he does despite adhering to an agreed-upon plan by those in charge to play almost exclusively young. New York Post
The Raptors' complicated ownership group has to decide whether to pick up options for Colangelo and coach Jay Triano, and the early indications are that the coach has a better chance of staying. CBSSports.com
Almost as importantly, the team has gotten along. Aside from a few minor issues — Julian Wright refusing to go into a game in Golden State last month stands out — the Raptors have been a cohesive unit. Given the mounting losses, that is an accomplishment. "For the one-off incident that did happen, it is so minor to the other s— that goes on around this league," Triano said, answering in the affirmative when asked if there were at least five incidents on last year's team that would have been worse than Wright's refusal to play. There were likely more involving Hedo Turkoglu alone. "I think that [Triano's] work ethic, his professionalism and his positive demeanour, which is the hardest thing to maintain, is what has kept us going more than anything else," assistant coach P.J. Carlesimo said. National Post
Julian Wright has apologized for refusing to go into the game last night … as the Raptors were being blown out by the Golden State Warriors. With Toronto down by 35+ points for most of the evening, head coach Jay Triano called upon Wright to go into the game late in the contest. But the swingman told the coach that he wouldn't sub-in. When word of this story leaked out after the final buzzer, there was some talk that Wright may have been sick (he had recently returned from the rest room when Triano called his number) but it turns out the Kansas product's health had nothing to do with his decision to not enter the game. FAN590
Wright addressed the coaches and his teammates in a game-day meeting earlier today. He apologized for his actions but said "everyone understood" his frustration. "The best way to put it is this was not characteristic of me," said Wright. "That's why I think this is (now) a thing of the past." FAN590
D'Antoni, who worked under Colangelo in Phoenix, might be out of a job if Walsh leaves the Knicks at season's end. For now, the Raptors plan to bring back coach Jay Triano, despite their awful season. But if D'Antoni becomes available, Triano could be jettisoned. New York Daily News
It sounds as if there is a small problem brewing in Toronto. Raptors coach Jay Triano called for forward Julian Wright to enter the game in a 138-100 blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors. The problem wass that Wright refused to enter the game. I don't know what the deal is but apparently Wright isn't too happy about the amount of playing time he's been getting. There's one way to solve it Julian, play better. Triano didn't seem to be too bent out of shape over what took place. "I just went to the next guy," Triano told the Toronto Star. "I wasn't going to ask him twice." "I asked (Wright) to go in, and he didn't go in," Triano said. "I know he went to the washroom just before that. I don't know if he wasn't feeling well. I still haven't talked to him." Yardbarker.com
"I don't want to talk about it," Wright said. "Speculate on anything you want." Yardbarker.com
The Heat forward said he spoke briefly with Triano while both were in New York over the summer, and "tried to shake his hand" before facing Toronto in Miami earlier this season. "That was bad," Bosh said. "I tried to say hello but, if you're not feeling it, it's all good…. Yeah, it's surprising. I mean, at the end of the day, this is a game. This is business for us, but it's a game. I think if you've spent a significant amount of time with somebody, 'Hey, how you doing, how's the family?' That's it. I wasn't looking to have a candid conversation before the game. But we play a lot of games, we do that all the time." Palm Beach Post
This is not just the end of your contract. This is the final year on coach Jay Triano's contract. If you are back as general manager next season, will Triano be back as coach? Bryan Colangelo: Jay has done a really solid job here given the difficult circumstances. We are clearly rebuilding and we have been decimated by injury, yet the young guys are clearly developing nicely and the atmosphere around the team has remained positive. The organization will likely address his contract status and whether to pick up his option year sometime after the season. Toronto Sun
After yet another practice with more guys injured and sitting out than guys participating, Jay Triano was asked about the Raptors' NBA record consecutive games with a three-point field goal made coming to an end at 986 games. His response was classic. "Yeah, you know what? With about a minute to go in a close game I thought, 'You know what, we should probably figure out how to hit a three rather than try to win this game.'" The Score
And how did he find out that the streak was over? "I found out after we were walking off the floor. Somebody yelled at me that I should be fired because we didn't make a three. Somebody yelled at me, that's when I went, 'Did we not make a three? OK, well,' I mean, honestly, you know what, I think the organization should be very proud of the streak that it had, but for us to go into a game thinking that we should try to make a three and for us to have a depleted lineup with guys like Barbosa and Kleiza and Calderon not in uniform, I mean those are guys that are going to sometimes step up and make them for us. You know what, it's a record and that record did not help us climb one spot in our race to try to get better as a team. It's one less thing we can put in our media notes. Alright? So that's about the extent of that streak being broken." The Score
The word hung there for a few seconds, with no reporter quite sure what to do with it. "Politics," Raptors head coach Jay Triano said. "Yeah." National Post
When TSN's James Cybulski picked up the politics comment with an assertion that the veteran-laden Celtics might get the favour of the whistle more than the anonymous Raptors, Triano responded, "Thank you. I didn't have to say it." DeMar DeRozan shot eight free throws, a game high he shared with teammate Joey Dorsey and Boston's Paul Pierce. DeRozan had 27 points (although it took 25 field-goal attempts to get there) a game after he scored a career-high 37 points on Friday in Houston. National Post

Kings make comparisons to recent Cup winners
May, 9, 2012
By Dan Arritt | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Dan Arritt/For ESPNLA.comThe Kings continued preparations Wednesday for their Western Conference finals series against Phoenix.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- In some ways, the Los Angeles Kings are very similar to the Stanley Cup champions from the past six years. In other ways, they're quite different.
Nobody knows better than the handful of L.A. players who have won a Stanley Cup title since the 2004-05 lockout season.
Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi, who won a championship with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009, said both teams seemed to regroup after in-season coaching changes and then caught fire down the stretch and into the playoffs.
The Penguins made their coaching change in mid-February, when they were five points out of the final playoff spot, then went 18-3-4 to finish fourth in the East. The Kings made their switch two months earlier and took two months longer to catch fire, finishing 13-5-3 to take the final playoff spot in the West.
The year before Scuderi's Cup win, the Penguins reached the finals but lost to the Detroit Red Wings in six games. Heading into that postseason, Pittsburgh had not won a playoff series since 2001.
Coming into this postseason, the Kings had not won a series since 2001.
"When you win one round, you feel pretty good, like you really accomplished something, and then you win two rounds and you feel real good," Scuderi said following practice Wednesday at Toyota Sports Center. "You still realize that, when you really step back, you're only halfway there. … But it is fun, it's OK to be excited, it's OK to have fun with it, but you have to realize it's not our end goal."
As far as player personnel, Scuderi said there are clear similarities between the top forwards on the 2009 Penguins and the current Kings.
"Some of our best offensive players are some of our best defensive players," he said.
Kings left wing Dustin Penner sees a similar mindset between his current team and the 2007 Anaheim Ducks, who went on to beat the Ottawa Senators in the Stanley Cup finals.
"Both teams were really physical and had great leadership, great goaltending and guys stepping up at key and timely moments during each game," he said.
Fourth-line center Colin Fraser won the Cup as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010. He said the Kings are a lot more physical and highly skilled. As prime examples, he points to players such as left wing Dustin Brown and defenseman Willie Mitchell.
"They're not just out there taking the body, they're making plays and they're really hard to play against," Fraser said. "In Chicago, the top-end guys were super-skilled guys."
Unlike the Kings, the Blackhawks didn't face much inner turmoil that season. Even after switching coaches, the Kings remained at the bottom of the league in scoring before a big push over the final 21 games of the regular season, barely slipping into the playoffs as the No. 8 seed.
"Adversity is not always a bad thing," Fraser said. "We faced it a few times this year, with struggling through the mid-part of the year and coming down to the wire trying to make the playoffs. … That just makes you better as a team."

Ear Stream Black Pearl
Black Pearl is a project introduced after three years of the Moonlight's evolution. Its intention was to create a headphone amplifier with at least equal sound quality followed by much higher output power, enabling the amplifier to work well also with hard to drive high impedance dynamic and orthodynamic headphones. Besides higher power the Black Pearl has got another advantage over...
Noble 3
The Noble 3 is a complete overhaul of Wizard's original three-driver design, a process that involved lots of consultation with Knowles (leading balanced-armature driver manufacturer). With a 'V' shaped frequency response, the Noble 3 is characterized by a controlled, impactful, low end and far-reaching highs.
Noble 5
The Noble 5 was inspired largely by the demand for a universal version of the Noble 8C (eight-driver acrylic CIEM). With deep, thick layered, bass and highs that never fatigue the ear, the Noble 5 strikes a balance between fun and articulate.
Noble 6
" (copied and pasted from the thread) Intro Noble Audio is the new brain child of John Molton, who is known around these parts as the Wizard. Formerly of Heir Audio, his CIEM designs are usually his calling card. However, his initial universal-fit 4.Ai and 3.Ai, and 5 designs saw a..." --eke2k6

Valentine's Day has just passed, and a single tear rolls down Claudine Magloire's perfect left cheek. She balls up tight, knees to chin, on a fluffy beige couch then gazes across her Pompano Beach townhouse at a framed watercolor. Two teddy bears, two swallows, and two plump red hearts deliver a message. To remember you, it reads in French. Souvenir toi.
Of the artist, 34-year-old Wildrick Guerrier, she sobs: "He's gone. He went to the bathroom. There was one cough... Then he was dead... The U.S. government killed him."
Wildrick was Claudine's lover and partner. He died suddenly last month — possibly of cholera — in Haiti after the Obama administration deported him and 26 other Haitian-Americans to their earthquake-wracked homeland. Such deportations had been suspended after the January 12, 2010, catastrophe, but this past December, agents swept up more than 350 others, about 100 from Florida, and delivered them to internment camps in a remote part of Louisiana. They await the dreaded trip back to their ruined island and, perhaps, the same painful end.
After Guerrier's death, newspaper stories were printed and mostly forgotten. Even the first black President brushed aside concerns about the world's first black republic. Neither he nor his administration is investigating. And, citing "privacy policies," his people refuse to release the names of those in custody. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez won't even say whether deportations have been suspended, a fact communicated to activists two weeks ago. "There haven't been any additional removals, and removals have not been suspended," she told me last week. Huh?
There's outrage in all this. Since when does the government have the right to secretly pick up U.S. residents and ship them to their deaths — even if they have criminal records? Indeed at least one of those sent to Haiti, Lyglenson Lemorin, has never been convicted of anything.
But there's also hyperbole in activists' responses. "No one should be deported to Haiti now," said Randy McGrorty, chief executive of Catholic Charities Legal Services Miami at a press conference earlier this month, "no matter what crime they committed." No one cared to ask if American taxpayers should feed and clothe noncitizen rapists and killers.
So I've spent the last couple weeks investigating Guerrier and another Miamian awaiting deportation in Louisiana, Elliott Longchamps. A close look at their lives and criminal records yields the following: bureaucratic ineptitude, government hypocrisy, and heinous violence. Longchamps, who's still in Louisiana, deserves the boot. Wildrick Guerrier didn't. And with the government unreasonably withholding names, it's hard to tell how many innocents like Guerrier are awaiting deportation.
The tragic love story of Claudine and Wildrick is this tale's beginning. She's a kind, professional woman who was born in Cap-Haitïen and moved to Fort Pierce with her family as an 8-year-old. A cheerleader, track star, and soccer player, she graduated from Fort Pierce Central High and became a single mom at age 18. Her boyfriend at the time disappeared, but she found work as an AT&T telemarketer in Fort Lauderdale and raised her playful son, Will.
It was off Sunrise Boulevard that she met Wildrick. He had come to the United States from Port-de-Paix as a 16-year-old, then played soccer at Edison Senior High in Miami. Skinny and mellow, he lived in Miami Shores across the street from Barry University with his mom, Chantal, who gave birth to two sons after arriving. Wildrick helped raise them until taking a job driving a forklift at Sun-Sentinel in Deerfield Beach in 1998.
Wildrick's cousin Mona lived near Claudine. One day, he piloted a black Nissan down their street and stopped to ask Claudine's name. They chatted. Soon he fell in love — not with her, but with then four-year-old Will.
"They'd play soccer and football, roll around a lot," Claudine remembers. "They'd go everywhere together. Wildrick was a real father figure to him." The then 22-year-old cycled through jobs at KFC and in a metals factory, often working nights. Sometimes he'd care for Will during the day, feeding him ice cream and candy. On weekends, Claudine would leave the boy with an aunt and visit Haitian nightclubs in Miami or Hallandale. She'd go with groups of four, five, or six people including Wildrick. "He always had a girlfriend," Claudine recalls. "We were like brother and sister."
What Claudine, now a mortgage loan specialist for Bank of America, didn't know back then was that Wildrick had trouble with the law. It started small, Broward County records show. He was busted in 1997 for driving without a license. He had a learner's permit but received a ticket. Three years later, he was nailed for possession of narcotics after cops found a film canister with "particles of cocaine" on Andrews Avenue, where he hung out, according to a police report. Those charges were dismissed.
"He never did drugs, but every time he hung out with the boys, he got in trouble," Claudine says. "I tried to get him away from them... and mostly I did."
His problems with the law escalated in 2002, when he was stopped by a Fort Lauderdale police officer. Identified in records as R. Fernandez, the cop claimed Wildrick had suddenly pulled his car to the side of NW Ninth Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. After the officer flashed his lights and siren, Wildrick attempted to run, and the two scuffled. Wildrick kicked the cop in the groin. Fernandez kicked him back, then arrested him after help arrived. In a deposition, Fernandez acknowledged he had not been injured. "I went home and took some painkiller and that was it," he said. Wildrick spent four months in jail.
Claudine helped him deal with the case. She hired a lawyer — and her efforts drew the couple together. Soon they were living together, first in Fort Lauderdale, then in the tidy Pompano place where Claudine and Will now live.
That essentially is what caused Wildrick to be thrown out of the country. He violated probation several times, once because he was walking a dog across the street from their townhouse. Another time, a probation officer found a folding knife in his house. Then Hallandale cops found him holding a semiautomatic pistol in his lap. He claimed it belonged to a friend. Finally, in 2009, he was busted for a DUI, and that was it. He was sentenced to nine months and remained behind bars until the government sent him to his death in Haiti.
"I am shocked at this," says Michael Gottlieb, the attorney who represented him. "He is a soft-spoken, nice guy. This wasn't someone who would attack or hurt anyone. It's very sad."
Elliott Longchamps's case is quite different. Activists from Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC) cite him as a guy who shouldn't be deported. They are wrong. A review of his criminal record and a conversation with his wife indicate this is someone who shouldn't be allowed on our shores.
Once a tall string bean of a man — six feet and 140 pounds — he has a criminal record that stretches back to 1980, when he was convicted of felony burglary after stealing $200 worth of jewelry from two women in Miami. He was accused but not convicted of burglary and robbery in the 1980s.
Then in 1990, he married a purchasing agent from Jackson Memorial Hospital named Kena Gordon. Three years later, she filed for divorce. Her claim: Longchamps had beat her bloody 15 to 20 times during their marriage. "Busted lips, bleeding gums," she told prosecutors in a deposition. But that was only the beginning. One night in 1992, she said, "he choked me nearly to death and tore my clothes off... He locked me in the room so that no one would hear."
Later, she said, he stalked her with a gun. Once, she fired twice at him when he followed her to a home in Brownsville. In 1992, he was convicted of assault and trespassing. And three years later, he was nailed for stalking.
Claims against Longchamps continued. In 1999, he was acquitted by a jury of sexual battery. In 2004, he married Mere Meregne Bien-Aime, an emotional, sophisticated-looking woman who fell hard for him. She had a daughter from a prior marriage. He had two kids, all of whom were grown.
The next year, cops arrived at their Aventura home and dragged Longchamps, who had bulked up to 200 pounds, to jail. A police report claims he had "punched his wife in the left eye, causing a bruise and blood to form in the eye."
Mere Longchamps dropped the charges. And today, she begs the government to free her husband from the Louisiana jail where he is being held. She argues that he is a changed man.
"I don't have a way to talk to my husband," she sobbed at a press conference held by FIAC earlier this month. "I miss him so much it is hurting. Please do something to give us a chance so we can be with my husband."
Almost as weird as that reaction from a woman who had apparently been beat was FIAC Executive Director Cheryl Little's. "This is not a dangerous criminal," she said.
When I asked about his court record, Little became confused for a moment. "I don't have the file right now," she said. "But I can tell you this much: This is not a serious offender. He was sentenced to 18 months." Then she continued: "Why is it so urgent for the U.S. to deport Haitians when Haiti remains in ruin? It makes no sense for either country... This is death by deportation."
In that last comment, she might be right. Before his death, Wildrick Guerrier joined 25 other detainees in a hunger strike. In a letter, they complained they "were languishing in a prison... with no definitive answers concerning [their] situation," according to a letter signed by all the strikers. "Phone calls are $25 for 15 minutes, and visitation is nearly impossible due to the distance being that we are all from Florida."
The hunger strike lasted six days. It ended just two days before the 27 Haitians were deported. Upon their arrival, all were held in a Haitian jail, where they drank water from a filthy barrel. Cholera is a waterborne disease.
Soon after his arrival, two of Wildrick's aunts flew to Haiti to care for him. Authorities realized he was sick and released him. He was quickly taken to a doctor, who administered an IV, Claudia remembers. A week or so after his deportation, he died — ingloriously — on a toilet. So far, at least, no autopsy has been done.
The U.S. government has been mum about Guerrier's death. No apologies. No investigation. Barbara Gonzalez of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement wouldn't comment on the matter except to regurgitate a written statement: "ICE is resuming the removal of criminal aliens in coordination with the government of Haiti and consistent with our domestic immigration enforcement priorities. ICE is legally required to repatriate criminal aliens to their country of origin or release them into U.S. communities if their repatriation is not reasonably foreseeable."
This kind of stonewalling is wrong. Contrary to what activists say, the United States can and should deport real criminals who aren't American citizens back to Haiti — whether or not an earthquake shook the island. But more consideration should be given to the nature of their crimes.
And the U.S. government should be more open about those whom it imprisons. Isn't that the very basis of our democracy?
Kicked a cop in the nuts ? did i read that right ? I don't think I would do that and im white and here legally fourth generation maybe fifth but im not sure yup plymouth rock has been under my families feet ,if you don't know what plymouth rock is look it up or go visit it ,it's in plymouth Mass They dug a hole put the rock in so people can view it .yup it's still their last time i looked
I wonder what would happen to an American citizen if they sneak into a country do something illegal GET caught and put up a fuss I bet they just hang you stone you or just shoot you imprison you and forget about you or all of the above .Deportation I think is a legal gift of the USA a Bullet would cost tax payers allot less and theway the government spends money the bullet may just be the rout they go soonso just come through the gate legal or stay the hell out .Oh and if you are here illegal up yours you deserve what ever legal tax payers can afford to do with you
Miami is just a racist place when it comes to people from the Afro-Islands than from Latin America, its the truth! I am neither Hatian or Latin American!
It's been my experience Cuban people seem to be more pleasant to be around, a little more motivated to go out there and work and less violent. Most Haitians I've had the displeasure to be around are rude, lazy workers, expect things to be handed to them, inconsiderate, and selfish only thinking for themselves. Most low wage workers in SFla are Haitians, and I can tell you the service is horrendous...No hello, thank you or anything else which would be considered some type of customer service. We have plenty out of work people here, and college kids who would be more than happy to take their jobs and smile while doing so. I say deport all of them.
I feel bad for the Haitian Community but the writer should write about the whole deportation process, because is the same for Central Americans and everybody else , they been doing that for years , how come now is only not fair for haitians ? , they had destroy families, living children without parents and now is only not fair for haitians ? This guy had a criminal record sowhat makes him extent of the law .
i have no compassion for deportees... just go the right way to become a citizen and you wouldn't be crying about being deported.
The real issue I have is that when they get deported they end up in Haitian jails. Since they already did their time in the US. The US should allow them to go to Haiti without handing them over to Haitian officials who always jailed them because the Haitian officials attitude is if the US can't handle you then you are a heinous criminal that need to be locked up.
The deportees should be allowed to go home to Haiti without the stigma because being a deportee because no one really wants to associate with you down there even family members especially if you were not helping them while you were living in the US. They should have the opportunity to go down there on their own without being jailed. immigration law is clear cut, once you're a convict or suspect of associating with terrorist you will be deported not ifs or buts about it. Obama administration won't change it because he wants to be reelected and don't want to seen to be soft on criminals. So instead of wasting money in lawyers, they should take that money and start their life over in Haiti. I know a couple of deportees who are successful business people in Haiti but I suppose if you were unproductive in the US then you're probably going to be worst off in Haiti. So going to Haiti itself is not a death sentence but ending up in a Haitian jail may be.
Well sir I'm truly sorry that you haven't met any real Haitians who take pride in their race and who know how to comport themselves in a cordial and utmost respectful manner. I am Haitian myself and trust me, there are some of us good Haitians out there. I was born and raised in New York City but nonetheless, I'm Haitian. In the near future I hope you meet an agreeable educated respectful Haitian.
you need to think of other people families before you say this. you have no heart and you are very selfish. your opinion is not needed either.
What Haiti decides to do with deportees is on them not the USA. The USA can suggest not order.
The law is clear, foreign nationals who commit felonies MUST be deported. Why should we shelter Haiti's criminals?
Then we should deport Cubans who have committed felonies. Yet we don't. Do you ever wonder why?
