These gritty Bobcats are all about what could happen in the NBA
They're still out there, fans real and fake who insist the Charlotte Bobcats should have tanked the season. Had the Bobcats not signed Al Jefferson, they would not have made the playoffs. Had they not made the playoffs, they would have won a pick in the talent-rich 2014 NBA draft lottery.
Because the Bobcats signed Jefferson, however, they earned a first-round playoff series against two-time defending champion Miami. Close your eyes. If you're 14 or older, can you imagine the Bobcats winning four games?
So, what did the Bobcats gain by not tanking?
Come on.
We walk out of Time Warner Cable Arena smiling. We no longer have to turn on our TV to see a good NBA team. When we're on the road, we pull out our phones to find a Charlotte score. We stop talking about Adam Morrison.
We watch a tough, entertaining and flawed group of players win eight of their final nine regular-season games and finish one game out of sixth in the Eastern Conference. The Bobcats could use a shooting guard who could shoot and a small forward who could score.
But don't you like what they have? Don't you admire the poise and tenacity with which the starters and reserves play? Don't you like the way they like each other?
Do the Charlotte Bobcats scare you, Miami guard Dwayne Wade?
"Yeah," Wade says Saturday after Miami's practice. "They're a good team. We respect what they've put together as a group, respect them for having one of the best records in the NBA the second half of the season. We know. We play them. And even though we beat them 16 times in a row, that means nothing. We've got to beat them four times in the playoffs."
On Thursday first-year head coach Steve Clifford is named the NBA's Coach of the Month. I congratulate him and he says, "I just want to be coach of Sunday." He means Sunday, in American Airlines Arena, against the Heat.
"Steve Clifford did an amazing job this year," Miami's Shane Battier says. "He really changed a culture. And I don't know if there are too many teams that play harder than the Bobcats. They're a handful."
Battier, a former Duke star, sees me looking at him and adds: "I'm not just blowing smoke. They're a handful."
The Bobcats would have a better chance to advance if they were matched against first-seeded Indiana, third-seeded Toronto or fourth-seeded Chicago. Miami is a handful.
Miami also is an opportunity. While the Bobcats were winning seven games two seasons ago and 21 games last season, the Heat were winning championships. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
Walk along Biscayne Bay Saturday morning and you see people pose for pictures in front of American Airlines Arena. They already have on their Saturday night clothes. Or maybe they're still wearing their Friday night clothes. As flashy as the subjects are, the gym, all white paint and windows, is flashier. The people, mainly women, pose as if they're in front of a shrine.
Walk inside to the practice court and there's Wade at a side basket, Greg Oden shooting little hooks at the basket next to him, and at the far end of the court, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. A ball rolls toward LeBron and he kicks it England Premier League-like on a hard low line to assistant coach Bob McAdoo.
As long as I've written about sports, I still can't help but look. Little known fact: LeBron is 9-feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. He's bigger than he's supposed to be, anyway.
The Heat didn't have the best record in the NBA, but they lead the league in glamour. They are to their sport what Tiger Woods is to his. They have the most fans and the most detractors.
Sunday's game is on national TV, on ABC. Fans across the country, and the world, will watch. They might not know much about the Bobcats. Perhaps they will.
The game is the biggest Charlotte has ever played.
You want to wait for the NBA lottery, enjoy the ping-pong balls.
For me, it's not about what should happen. It's about what could.
I'm headed to the arena. Maybe see you there.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
21 Sep 2010 08:00 GMT | Sport, US & Canada, Australia, Canada, India
The president of the Commonwealth Games Federation has said immediate action is needed from the Indian government to fix what he called a "seriously compromised" athletes' village in New Delhi ahead of the Games - while the New Zealand delegation cast doubts over the event happening at all.
CGF president Michael Fennell said advance parties from participating nations were "shocked" at what they saw when they arrived in the Indian capital ahead of the October 3-14 multi-sport Games.
"Many issues remain unresolved and, as such, last night I wrote to the Indian cabinet secretary, expressing my great concern with the preparedness of the athletes village," Fennell said on Tuesday.
"Many nations that have already sent their advanced parties to set up within the village have made it abundantly clear that, as of the afternoon of September 20, the Commonwealth Games Village is seriously compromised."
Officials from New Zealand, one of the team delegations already in New Delhi, said that dirty and unhealthy conditions at the village were compromising the entire Games.
Games 'may not happen'
Dave Currie, New Zealand's team manager, said the Games "may not happen'' because large sections of the village were still not ready.
"The reality is that if the village is not ready and athletes can't come, the implications are that it's not going to happen," Currie told New Zealand commercial radio, referring to the Games as a whole.
New Zealand - along with Canada, Scotland and Ireland - described the accommodation as "unlivable'' and the 300-strong New Zealand contingent of athletes and officials have been allocated new quarters.
Currie said New Zealand would consult with other countries before making a final decision on attending the Games.
Ayaz Menon, a sports columnist in India, told Al Jazeera that preparations have encountered "a whole string of problems around infrastructure".
"A lot of people are asking why the government is [spending so much money] ... one of the biggest businessmen in India is saying it should have gone to a less developed state like [eastern] Bihar rather than redeveloping a city that is already [well developed]."
'Excellent facility'
However, New Delhi's Commonwealth Games organisers shrugged off criticism, saying they will provide an "excellent facility" for guests.
"I can assure everyone there is no cause for worry," Randhir Singh, the organising committee vice-chairman, said on Tuesday.
"Delegates have praised the village as one of the best ... We are working round the clock to take care of any problems. When the athletes arrive here they will find an excellent facility."
But finishing infrastructure is not the only worry facing authorities.
Security concerns are high, particularly after a gun attack outside New Delhi's main mosque injured two Taiwanese tourists on Sunday.
Authorities are still assessing the motive behind the attack, making assurances that it was not targeted at the Games.
However, following the shooting, Australia gave a warning of a "high risk of terrorism" at the Games and on Monday the US asked Americans to exercise caution in New Delhi.

Fuzzy Green Leaves, Purple Underside
I can't seem to make this plant happy. The bottom layer of leaves keeps slowly dying. This happens every week or two. It's only a few inches tall, the top sides of the leaves are fuzzy and green, the bottom sides are purple and kind of shiny. The stems are also kind of fuzzy. I'm trying to figure out what it is so I can research what kind of environment it likes. Thanks!

It appears to be in a pot with no holes. It can be difficult to give a plant in that type of pot the correct amount of water. You might consider a new pot with drainage holes. They like a good soak now and then (can do it in the sink) but can dry out a bit between waterings.
A window with shades partially open can give them the filtered light they prefer. They also do very well under fluorescent lights. If you fertilize them regularly they will produce flowers almost year round. And if you want more they are really easy to propagate by leaf cuttings.

Help! Ranch Home Re-do!
In 2 weeks basement wall repair of our ranch home will require excavating and removing all the existing landscaping from the front of the house. I hope to be save 2 or 3 of the rose buses (bad time of year to do that I know), but see it as an opportunity to improve the entry way, without any guilt from removing the huge evergreen/yew and the brick planter (which I think makes the house look shorter).
Any suggestions of ideas? Sooooo appreciated!
Here's a link to a pic of the house:
Clickable link to the OP's photo:
Here's another vote for getting rid of the yew.
I don't know that I'd say the planter makes the house look shorter -- you've got bricks of a similar height along most of the front wall. But from the photo, it looks like the planter makes a bottleneck to anyone trying to get to the front door. Consider replacing the planter with a small patio that extends out into the grass a few feet.
What are the two white objects to the left of the lamppost by the driveway?
Wow, that is a major job! Do you expect that there will be anything left of your front yard after the heavy trucks and equipment have done their work? The soil compaction is often a nightmare afterwards. Good for you for thinking of it as an opportunity to try something new.
The tan brick that you have on the foundation seems to closely match the colour on the roof, separated by the blue of the siding. Unfortunately, on a one story ranch such as yours, it makes the body of the house appear from the curb like it is being squeezed between a giant's thumb and forefinger. That may be one reason why you think your house looks short - it HAS been "squished". In the ideal world, you would eliminate the cut-off. If the current brick doesn't survive the foundation work...or even if it does... replace it with the same siding used elsewhere to visually extend the height of the facing wall.
Another trick in making your house seem taller is to avoid a too narrow front planting bed. Instead, extend the towards the street in a graceful, inverted U so that the minimum depth of the bed is at least as tall as the wall behind it. The left arm of the U would be a continuation of that garden. The right arm should mirror it in size, becoming instead your new extended patio and walkway.
My last thought would be to paint the garage door in a slightly deeper shade of the siding colour, the front door in something contrasting and brighter . Have fun.
I don't disagree with Adrienne's proposal but I do disagree with the objective of making your house look taller. Seems to me that its long low lines are core to its character, so I wouldn't try to fight them. Even with respect to the planter that doesn't change anything - like MTO, I'd want to open up the entryway.
oooo....what karinl said. That's a classic MCM ranch--let it be what it wants to BE. Long, low, and lean. There's lots of period landscaping books out there. You needn't be completely true to the period...but it might help to see how houses like yours were "supposed" to look.
Interesting discussion over on retrorenovation linked below. ALSO...go to the library and look for Sunset publications books from the 50's and 60's...
Here is a link that might be useful: rerto renovation on MCM landscaping
Interesting viewpoints. I would contend that the characteristic low profile and strong horizontal planes of a classic ranch-style home is actually more respected by decluttering the exterior facade and by mitigating the apparent roof-to-wall disproportion through visual means. Cheers.

Back in April, we went down to Austin for this year's International Symposium on Online Journalism. As far as journalism conferences go, this is one of the special ones — highly recommended.
We've already written about much of what was covered there, like smart-fridge strategies, O Globo's crazy-engaging tablet-only evening edition, an examination of journalistic behaviors on Twitter, and a study that pinpointed the most likely demographic to pay for the news. (Check out our roundup of lessons learned from the symposium.)
Now, ISOJ has posted a complete collection of video from the conference. Watch them all. Here's a smattering to get you started:
The Los Angeles Times' Ben Welsh will make you love robots. He'll also effectively shut down anyone who's still arguing that computer-assisted reporting is somehow inherently bad for the industry. He's genuinely passionate, and that's just fun to watch.
Highlight: Skip to 11:08 to watch a minute-long crescendo that ends with the best F-bomb of the conference.
Brian Boyer, who this summer joined NPR's news apps team, wants you to think about news function. "Data visualizations are not on their own useful," Boyer says. "If we only make art, we are doing our audience a disservice."
Highlight: Skip to 3:03 to hear Boyer break down why journalists, engineers, and designers need to learn from one another.
University of Memphis journalism assistant professor Carrie Brown-Smith tracked the use of #Memstorm on Twitter during severe weather in her region. She examined the use of hashtags in centralizing real-time news. She also explored what kinds of information was shared, and how journalists' coverage of the storm fit in. One key lesson for newsrooms: If your audience starts doing something cool, join in.
Highlight: Skip to 3:37 to watch her account of what happened when a local Fox affiliate tried to change the hashtag.
The iPad is special. That's why Pedro Doria, digital platforms editor for Brazilian newspaper O Globo, wanted to give readers an iPad app that was specially made for the device. Doria felt that the paper's basic mobile app wasn't making full use of the platform. (Read our article about the app.)
Highlight: Skip to 8:14 to see Doria break down the numbers about engagement with the app, which jumped from an average of 26 minutes to a mind-boggling 77 minutes.
Anyone else feel like Google's Richard Gingras is everywhere these days? It's likely you're familiar with his views by now. Bottom line, Gingras says, "we have to rethink it all." To him, print is nothing more than a "derivative mechanism" and the big problem in news is that "there's too much of it."
Highlight: Skip to 7:45 to hear someone challenge Gingras on the idea that there are no gatekeepers anymore. Who gets to decide who a news organization is and is not? Audience member: "You do."
"I don't do slides, ever," said Whurley, general manager of Chaotic Moon Labs. So instead, he opted to crowdsource his slides — asking journalists to shout out questions that he addressed later in the presentation.
Highlight: Skip to 6:12 to hear Whurley sum up his experience coding and developing The Daily, and what it demonstrated to him about the fundamental problem in journalism: "What they did is fantastic for one reason, and the reason that we participated was one reason: Nobody wants to be the first."
|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?

Mesa Airlines (Phoenix) introduced this new logo at its Employee Party on February 21, 2015.

Mesa Airlines (Phoenix) introduced this new logo at its Employee Party on February 21, 2015.
Mesa Airlines aircraft slide show:
Mesa Airlines, Inc. (Phoenix) has announced it has reached an agreement in principle, subject to definitive documentation, with Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. for the purchase of seven new CRJ900 NextGen aircraft to operate under a long-term capacity purchase agreement with a major U.S. airline. The aircraft will be purchased new from Bombardier and will bring the total number of CRJ900 aircraft operated by the Company to 64. The Company expects delivery of the seven additional aircraft in 2015. The agreement also includes an undisclosed number of options to purchase additional CRJ900 aircraft.
American Airlines is expanding the agreement with Mesa for these seven new CRJ900s. All 64 CRJ900s will eventually be operated under the American Eagle brand.
Mesa currently operates its CRJ900s as an American Eagle and US Airways Express carrier.
Mesa was the launch customer for the CRJ900 aircraft in 2001 and is one of the largest operators of CRJ900 aircraft in the world.
The addition of these seven aircraft and 11 new E-175s scheduled for delivery later this year will bring Mesa's fleet total to 115 aircraft by October of 2015.

American Eagle-Mesa Airlines aircraft slide show:
American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) will introduce Embraer ERJ 175 American Eagle service between Los Angeles and San Francisco starting on April 14. Compass Airlines (Minneapolis/St. Paul) will operate the twice-daily service per Airline Route.
Compass Airlines will operate 20 ERJ 175s as a new American Eagle carrier. The first delivery is due in March.
Currently Envoy Air (CRJ700s), Mesa Airlines (CRJ900s) and SkyWest Airlines (CRJ200s) operate American Eagle regional routes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Copyright Photo: Jay Selman/AirlinersGallery.com. Republic Airlines (2nd) (call sign "Brickyard") currently operates the type as an American Eagle carrier. Embraer ERJ 170-200LR (ERJ 175) N136HQ (msn 17000226) approaches the runway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
American Eagle-Republic aircraft slide show:
American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) will introduce the Bombardier CRJ900 to the Dallas/Fort Worth hub starting on November 6. Mesa Airlines (Phoenix) will operate the type initially on American Eagle services to Albuquerque, El Paso, Fayetteville and Greenville/Spartanburg per Airline Route. On November 16 this operation will expand with a Huntsville, AL route. Colorado Springs, Little Rock, Louisville, Lubbock, Oklahoma City and Wichita will be added from DFW on December 2. Finally Montrose, CO will be added on December 18.
In May 2014 Mesa Airlines announced they had reached an agreement with American Airlines to operate six more CRJ900s for American bringing the total CRJ900s to 51 aircraft.
In other news, American is also introducing the Embraer ERJ 175 on additional routes. Effective November 6 the Embraer 175 will be operated from the Chicago (O'Hare) hub to Columbus, OH. On the same date from the Miami hub, the E175 will operate to Louisville, Nashville, New Orleans and Pittsburgh. From New York (JFK) the E175 will be assigned to the Pittsburgh route also starting on November 6.
Finally on December 18, the Embraer 175 will be added on additional routes from the Miami hub to Cleveland, Key West and Nassau.

United Airlines (Chicago) will add additional Embraer 175 flights from the San Francisco hub in the fall. In addition to the previously-reported routes, United will add United Express service from SFO with the new E175 flights to Boise (starting on September 30), Calgary (September 21), Dallas/Fort Worth (October 26), Kansas City (October 26), St. Louis (September 20) and Salt Lake City (October 26) per Airline Route.
The SFO flights are expected to be operated by SkyWest Airlines.
SkyWest Airlines operated its E175 inaugural flight, operating as United Express, from Chicago O'Hare to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, May 17. According to SkyWest, "the milestone represented a tremendous amount of preparation and hard work by many SkyWest employees during the last 15 months."
Within the next two years, SkyWest will take delivery of 40 new E175s that will operate under an agreement with United Airlines.
According to the airline, "the E175 is the fifth aircraft type in SkyWest's current fleet, and from full-sized cargo-bins to larger aisles and seats, it's filled with enhanced features that will help ensure every passenger enjoys a comfortable, convenient flight."
From Houston, E175 service on flights between the hub at George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Atlanta and New Orleans begins on June 15, and between Houston and Austin starting on June 16. United also launched E175 service between Chicago O'Hare and Minneapolis/St. Paul on June 5; between Chicago O'Hare and Atlanta beginning on June 15; and between Chicago O'Hare and New York LaGuardia beginning on June 23.
United Express carrier Mesa Airlines will operate the flights between Houston and Atlanta, Austin and New Orleans. United Express carrier SkyWest Airlines will operate the flights between Chicago and Atlanta, New York LaGuardia and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Salvia smoking safety tips PSA
Warning: Salvia Divinorum is a very, very powerful plant. Research the history of Salvia divinorum online before burning. Please burn responsibly! Common sense guidelinesThose are all good rules. I'd also recommend putting on a playlist of songs that make you relax and have personal significance for you. Make sure any pets are calm and not making noise. Find a place where sudden noises will be at a minimum (traffic, honking horns, other people's music, yelling or screaming). Ask your trip sitter to keep everything quiet and relaxed the first time you try it, then you can move on to experimenting. I have supported Erowid over the years as a member, and I encourage you to read their excellent salvia divinorum vault. Have a nice trip! (image: Andrea James for Boing Boing)

Greg Sherwin and Emily Avila | August 3, 2001 | Comments
Behind all the pessimistic headlines, there's actually a lot of good news. The competitive landscape is much more rational. Talented employees are in greater supply. And for all the dot-com layoffs, jobs at legitimate online businesses are still available.
For those of us who still live and breathe the Internet for our daily living, it's a lot like being fans of Milli Vanilli after their public exposure as lip-synching marionettes with funky coifs. A once-adoring media and public have since pulled their GRAMMY Award, and we are now forced to listen to "their" music in private to avoid public humiliation.
Yet if we were true Vanilli fans, we'd enjoy their music whether there was public validation or "milli-vilification." That's the challenge put today to the remaining true believers of Internet business: We must continue to follow our beliefs, doing what we've been doing, despite the overwhelming tides of unabated greed and subsequent schadenfreude.
Of course, that's not to say our conceptions of what it takes to be a successful online business must remain static. What defines a successful online business continues to evolve rapidly.
"Sure We Lose $50 per Customer, But We Make It Up in Volume!"
What lessons can we say we've learned thus far?
Two years ago, aggregating a broad swath of online users was all that mattered -- regardless of your balance sheet. If Media Metrix said your site was immensely popular, even if that popularity came at the price of handing out $50 bills to everyone who visited your site, your initial public offering (IPO) was close to a sure thing.
Today, as we've now collectively realized, being popular isn't an end in itself. Rather, it is only a means. As long as businesses are valued for their profits and cash flow, your site could have only a hundred users and still be wildly successful -- assuming that those users spend an enormous amount of money with you.
Whether the death of dot-com freebies (the recent and simultaneous abandonment of free disk space from both i-drive and Xdrive come to mind) or the erosion of Web-based convenience services with razor-thin margins (look no further than Webvan or Kozmo.com), another lesson is that consumers will drive a good thing into the ground as fast as you let them. All the free milk in the world won't spare the golden calf from becoming victim to someone's momentary burger binge.
Furthermore, there will always be competitors with more dubious business models who will undercut you. The trick is in knowing where to draw your limits and strike a balance between competing to death and surviving to compete another day. Many of these competitors are doomed to the brief and disastrous path of unsustainable investment.
I Was Dot-Com When Dot-Com Wasn't Cool
Several recent articles have posed this question: Who's to blame for the dot-com collapse? But the blame game is an unproductive and worthless exercise.
Stop blaming the fools who inflated the stock prices of worthless companies without a prayer of a business plan. Stop blaming a soft advertising market or weaker consumer demand in the economy or users who won't pay for what they can get elsewhere for free. Stop finding excuses or reasons to fail, and start taking responsibility for your business direction from this day forward. It may sound trivial, but today it seems that a lot of Internet businesses have lost sight of that approach.
Behind all the pessimistic headlines, there's actually a lot of good news. The competitive landscape is much more rational. Talented employees are in greater supply. Employees who were in it only for a fast buck, and were far less committed to your business cause, have long since returned to their former employers. And for all the dot-com layoffs in the news, we'd argue that there's been a steady number of available jobs at legitimate online businesses over the past several years.
So maybe Internet business isn't the flavor of the month anymore. That's no reason to lose your focus and stop executing. Internet usage is here to stay, there is money to be made online, and the medium continues to evolve. Internet businesses today should be a little older and wiser -- and that is a competitive advantage.
Just don't call it "new media" anymore.

transplanting Acer mandshuricum
I've read a lot of the threads about pros/cons/risks of transplanting palmatums and dissectums in fall vs. spring. Does the same go for trifoliates?
I have a 2-year old one that is in too sunny a spot and all the leaves are quite scorched. I would like to move it to a shadier spot. I would prefer to do it in the fall if there is not too much risk.
The root ball was quite small (about a "gallon" size) when it was planted spring '06. Maybe I can get all the roots with minimal disturbance.
would you take a chance doing it now?
Sooner the better. I transplanted an Acer Palmatum 'Nuresagi' this past week after projecting how large it would grow. It got reduced last winter to a couple of branches, but was nonetheless pretty healthy. However, I didn't know in early Spring since it looked pretty pitiful then. I planted an AP 'Osakazuki' far too close to it. Late Spring the new growth was prolific--far more than expected.
It started out last year as a three gallon, but I transplanted it about three feet further so the soil is similar. I dug around the roots and underneath and was able to move it with most everything intact. I've watered it everyday by giving it a good soaking and it looks ok so far. Yours is even smaller so I would think it would be easier to move. Just treat it like a new planting because by moving it it will have to adapt to the new location no different from a new plant.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A conservative group with ties to billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch is spending big money to thank U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo for his work in Congress amid a bitter race for his seat.
Americans for Prosperity says it's spending $409,225 for radio and television ads that begin Tuesday and run until the day before the Aug. 5th Republican primary.
AFP state director Jeff Glendening says the group likes to show its appreciation to those who share its values. He cites Pompeo's efforts to eliminate the wind production tax credit and control spending, as well as his opposition to earmarks.
Former Congressman Todd Tiahrt is challenging Pompeo in the 4th District. Tiahrt has criticized Pompeo for pursuing special interest agendas that have hurt the local economy.

text: Sadly, this issue itself is responsible for the global unawareness so many East Asian countries possess. Censorship of mediums such as The Economist have resulted in a biased view the majority of Asians hold today. They are brainwashed and told the one side the government wishes them to hear, and lack the options of global perspective. This goes to show that journalism of every sort carries undeniable power and influence - sadly those that need to hear it the most are blocked from the truth.

This ring is beautiful; however, i received this as a gift for christmas and it hasn't even been a month and I am already missing 1 diamond. For a present that sentimentally meant alot, I'm very disappointed in the quality of this item.
This ring is very sparkly and is true to size. I was looking for a thin twist band that was 14kt and this one did not disappoint. I will be pairing this up with my halo cushion wedding ring. I used my reward $$ to get a substatial discount. Probably would not have purchased at the original price since it is very dainty.
I LOVE LOVE this ring!!! It was so beautiful and shiny yet simple and elegant. I can't wait for my future hubby to put it on so I can wear it forever.

The actual neighborhood is quiet and calm, but a quick 5 minute walk down any of the staircases leading into ibiza and I have everything at my fingertips.

I found the paseo, beach, grocery stores, plenty of closed shops but enough open ones to make up for those that are closed. And the people. I sat ...
