March events in Avignon
Guests on France river cruises visiting Avignon will be able to experience a whole host of interesting events taking place this month.
The Avignon Motor Festival has become the biggest event of its kind in France, and attracts more than 400 exhibitors each year. Showcasing a fantastic display of locomotives, ranging from automobiles to airplanes, this year's theme focuses on great European brands and takes place from 20th-22nd March.
Those in Avignon at the beginning of March will be able to catch the tail end of the Les Hivernales Dance Festival, which takes place each year in winter. Hosting a range of fantastic shows and productions, there's plenty to see, with workshops that can be attended too.
Avignon will also be holding the 12th annual Clown Festival, which will see numerous clowns head to the city for a week of funny, tragic, slap-stick, and sophisticated performances. Organised by local students, it's the perfect opportunity to see the many faces of the contemporary clown.

interesting article, ...i grew up in china, coporal punishments for children in school is quite common. there is law banning spanking children in china too, however, not so many people really care.although there are punishments, but no way it's close to something like brutal beating. you hate it when you are that age, but you grow up and then know it's for your own good. sometimes words just dont work
This article is reminiscent of the "information" that appeared in New Zealand's media in the run-up to the passing of the anti-smacking legislation – and that at the time of passing was still opposed by around 80% of the NZ population.
But even the most suave rhetoric and carefully controlled studies are no match for the local newspaper - or one's own children.
If you can endure a short sharp pun, the bottom-line question is whether murder rates, violence, child abuse, graffiti, etc have gone down since our grandparent's generation when smacking was more widely practised and endorsed. An unqualified, obvious Yes?
If the banning of corporal punishment in schools was meant to lead to "better outcomes", why do we read reports suggesting violent offending by 14-16 year olds in NZ has increased by 47% since 1999? Shouldn't it have gone exactly the other way?
A visible reduction in violence across society as an objective, measurable outcome of the banning of corporal punishment in schools would have provided a logical platform for extending anti-smacking into the home. Check your paper.
Doubling the speed will undoubtedly get society there faster – but only if we are heading in the right direction in the first place.
Communal thinking - enforced by the authorities - haven't we been here before?
@Mike in Ohio
I completely agree with your point. The only addition is that if a child runs on the road, you don't pull him back and wack him. Most kids understand after you've told them once or twice.
May be a statistics of road accidents (ratio of adults involved to kids. I know this sounds painful) may tell us that equal if not more adults are also involved in accidents. Your point on medicine bottles is exactly the support i was looking for.
Children should be deterred from bad habits but by reasoning and talking and by discouraging the habit.
Wacking is the easy way out. It reflects poorly on adults.
@joski65The child does not understand that going out into traffic to get a ball, for example, may be lethal to it. Children lack the conceptual ability to grasp that, as well as the mental focus to check if a vehicle is coming, etc. It is -because- children do not understand right from wrong that they must be physically prevented from doing wrong (or even dangerous) actions until they -can- understand. By all means tell them -why- it is being done, but don't expect young children to know or care about morality or their own safety. That's why we have child-proof medicine bottles.
I'm against "smacking" if that's denotes bad intent on the part of the parent and poorly applied discipline. I hope the US never signs the UNCRC as it will decimate the American family further.
On the other hand, what if corporal punishment is good for the child??? Though not a substitute for learning, this is still part of the learning process as a useful tool. A child that burns his hand on a hot pot has just been disciplined using corporal punishment. I say sometimes bad decisions are made and there are consequences. These MUST be noted.
Without being overtly pro or con on this topic, I think it is important to point out a few things here. We live in a physical world. Governments, ideally, retain the monopoly on force, and when used properly it is a good restraint on society's outbursts. Without order, mobs can run society into the ground. Angry mobs need to be physically checked. Yes it would be ideal to put them in timeout, instruct them they are bad, use carrots and sticks etc., but the immediate response that physical barriers or restraints provide can't be overlooked or under appreciated. It is the reality of our world. Accept it.Governments can abuse their power and physically and even mentally damage citizens through wrongful use of force or even unjust "time out". Then again citizens, if overly empowered, can abuse the system and wrongfully sue governments for using force, even if that force may have been in the best interest of public good. In America, we tend to believe that people are the kings and queens of their own castle. We have too diverse a population to impose overbearing guidelines on the world's cultures which reside in our borders. Do governments sometimes abuse their power? Of course. Do Some children lack discipline and respect for their parents? Yes. Is using force only as a last resort ideal? Absolutely. Saying your against "whacking" is easy as saying you're against death, and frankly, is an unfair cop out. Observe nature! Yes, God created nature which can have a wonderful balance as long as man lives with it, rather than above it. What does man's best friend do? A mother dog will nip a quick and slightly painful bite into her pup if it is abusing a brother or sister pup. 'Oh, but dogs can't talk, so that's not a fair comparison' you might say. Well, nips in the butt are only necessary in the beginning to establish hierarchy and to display consequences for disruptive behavior. What if that pup is criminally intent on abusing it's pup sibling and no amount of pulling or threatening would peel him off the other pup? What do you then? I suppose the proponents of this law would try and call a counselor, yell, scream, all the while remaining as helpless as the victim. I suspect the victim pup would hold serious resentment towards such a "non-whacking" parent. The aggressive pup might even feel empowered and challenge parental, pack, and even societal harmony. My father didn't need to spank me after 8 years old because a stern growl sufficed after I learned not to misbehave as a young one. I respect him for this because he made his point and physical punishment is merely physical when used appropriately. What about mental abuse? What about those who yell and demean and waste time? Aren't those potentially damaging as physical abuse? What about neglect? Aren't children unfairly rotting in time-out for days missing out on childhood development and being abused via neglect? What about not providing enough food for your family or people? Abuse has many forms. Treat them all as seriously as one another before imposing such a simple-minded law on an aspect of society that, while at times can be ugly, is needed to control the most urgent of emergencies quickly before such emergencies spread to catastrophes.
In reply to your post joski65,1) Surely you must accept that the younger a child is the more selfish it is, the less it understands the needs of others. When my brother or I argued over who got to sit in the front seat of the car it was certainly not because our parents did so.2) I did not cite a personal example, merely what my mother told me. You could not gather from my post that I had been smacked as a child, only likely that I had been. I must point out that corporal punishment was banned in schools by my time. 3) My parents never smacked me out of anger. They only did so as a way to chastise me. Any beating of a child to merely satisfy my need to release my physical anger is repulsive to me and should be to any rational person.You do not seem to have drawn a distinction between a light smack and the hitting of a child, something I hoped I had made clear in my original post.
3 points against smacking:
1. Why children disobey
Children learn by observing the behavior of people around them. The people they observe most and therefore learn from most are parents. Especially young children. So if a child shows disobedience he could be reflecting how his parents behave. Therefore smacking the kid is a bit like treating the symptom. The problem is elsewhere. Parents need to reflect and observe their own actions for dysfunctional behavior.
2. The Experience-learning syndrome
Most of the posts for smacking cite personal examples. The belief that 'I got smacked and did well means I need to smack my kid'. This again is a reinforcement of learning. Everything our parents did was not necessarily right. We need to accept better ways. Moreover the psychological makeup of your child could be very different from you. A smack may be OK for you but could harm the confidence of your child
3. Smacking - Failure of parent not children
The act of smacking is often not a deliberate thought out act. It occurs instinctively out of anger. The cause of the anger is not the child's behavior but could be the reaction of the parent's bruised ego or frustrations. Hang on don't smack your kid because your day didn't turn out right…And worse justifying it by telling yourself 'For his good'
What courage or nobility of act is this to wack a little child who does not know the spelling of right and wrong?
I have not had the time to read all the comments below so I must apologise if I repeat anything which has been said below.I must stress that of course physical abuse must not be tolerated, and in the case of children it must result in severe sanctions against the perpetrators.However, I cannot see how a light smack can in anyway be seen as physical abuse. If you are six years old, you are unable to understand why some things are wrong rendering any explanation useless. One of the things which my mother once said to me which has stuck with me through the years is that it is the shock, rather the pain, that has the most effect. Therefore I cannot see why corporal punishment should be derided ad a Medieval punishment, as it often seems to be nowadays. Any decent parent would never want to cause actual physical harm to their child, they merely want to chastise them. If other means do not work why should corporal punishment be denied to them?
Oh how bout this? We can start giving lectures to criminals instead of putting them in jail and stop wasting money on guns for our military. Sounds just about as ridiculous as banning all corporal punishment for children. Child abuse is one of the worst crimes a person can commit, but corporal punishment is different and gets through to children in a way reasoned arguments and non-physical coercion cannot. I was never beaten but did receive some corporal punishment. It was deserved, because I was doing really stupid stuff despite non-corporal forms of punishment. In fact, I probably deserved and would have been better of with more. It certainly got through to me without warping me or making me angry. In addition, as other posters have pointed out non-physical coercion can often be worse than a slight smack.
While I don't agree with VK1961 on some other topics, I certainly agree here.Outlawing anything short of actual child abuse is a not only a waste of valuable (and limited) government resources; it's likely to cause a great deal more harm to the actual children themselves due to separation/fines/etc imposed by the judicial system. There are actual crime problems to spend governments' resources on.
Raising children and the need for discipline has not changed over millenia. Children and puppies have the same mentality upto a certain age. By having children know who is the authority figure in their lives with the 'possibility' of spanking keeps many in line. Once they begin their maturity into adolescence then these methods will no longer work. This regulatory move is a disgrace for the human beings these kids will become (ones without respect for their elders). I am in my early 30's and intend to use the smack amongst other control mechanisms as a child anarchy deterrent.
The suggestion of this article that the United States is the last western bastion of corporal discipline of children is incredibly inaccurate. American parents are not allowed to hit children and teachers are particularly not allowed to hit children. The article is otherwise well written, but your analysis of American law on the subject is overly simple and misses the practical reality of the issue.
Physically abusing a child - a smack on the let, a thump in the head - is wrong. It physically and psychologically damages the child. I have attended a hearing with a Medical Examiner where a shake killed a 3 year old. It wasn't intended, the child just upset her family member and an angry tight hold turned into a shake and that killed her. It doesn't take much. I've also seen where a slap to the head has killed a child with an undiagnosed thin skull. One death is too many. For each death how many permanent injuries are caused? You, I have no right - no matter what the reason - to hit a child. We are adults and we should seek a resolution outside of violence. Past treatment of ourselves or the way things were done in the "old days" is no excuse. Don't do it. It's criminal behaviour. This artile is also posted on www.butlerreport.com
I'm rather happy that my mother smacked me when I was younger. I certainly deserved it; I actually deserved it more than I got it. As a boy I didn't care when my mom restricted my free time by "grounding" me, I'd just break the rule again. But God forbid she pick up the wooden spoon in the kitchen, it put the fear in me necessary to see the error of my ways. I see children every day that just need to be smacked.It seems that mankind has survived through thousands of years with parents smacking their children; I don't understand why now that's a concern. Sounds like sensationalism. This idea is laughable. Go see the horrors of war, and tell me if slapping a child should be the concern of the government.
It is amusing how the governments regulate smacking, "not bruising", "not on the head". If real harm is caused, then there are already laws for retribution anyway, do we really need any more with respect to children only? Maybe the true purpose it serves is what VK1961 said, to make the punishment more severe, throw parents in jail and have them lost the custody of their children. This whole things seem to be enforcing one's beliefs onto others to me, or oppression from the masses.
On the other hand, I am surprised that smacking is still allowed in schools.
Leave parents alone. It is hard enough already to raise children to have the state telling parents how to do it. "Corporal punishment" is just another tool that parents use to raise their children. Like any other tool, its use depends on the person who uses them. Loving and caring parents will use it with love and care. Irresponsible parents will use it irresponsibly. If corporal punishment is banned, parents will resort to other forms of punishment to raise their children. Who says that corporal punishment is worse than other forms of punishment? I have seen parents shout awful things to their children, embarrass them in public, etc. And there are even worse parents: the ones who simply give up.
"Also, don't children adopt behavior from their parents?"
Of course; and *that* is the most salient argument against corporal punishment. The (good or bad) influence of parents as role-models for their children is as close to a self-evident truth as anything.
Trouble arises, however, when one tries to put such things into *law*. In the legal case referenced below, the nagging issue was whether a man should, or should not be crushed by the vise of the American penal code (read: incarceration, loss of his children's custody, perpetual loss of voting rights, the indelible stigma of felony conviction by a court of law under charges of "assault in the 2nd degree", "endangering the welfare of a child", etc.) because he --in poor judgment, the jurors agreed-- had whipped his boy for hitting his younger sister.
Thus the question, once government agencies are involved (read: child protection agencies, the police, courts of law, prisons, etc.) becomes whether the *punishment* really fits the *crime* and, more pressingly, whether the CHILDREN themselves benefit when their parents are thrown into jail for hitting them in a moment of such poor judgment.
Knull: That sounds more like abuse than corporal punishment. A child should *never* fear an adult striking them. There's nothing wrong with laws that outlaw child abuse. It's the overly broad ones that also outlaw corporal punishment that are the problem.Granted, some people will call child abuse corporal punishment, and those people do need to be dealt with harshly, but the two are definitely separate spheres.
I am amazed so many here advocate physical punishment, but having never been a parent I feel I don't know enough for a final opinion. But, being from Germany (almost no smacking there), I have known only two children who have been beaten very frequently by their parents: The first grew to be a man who would immediately resort to violence when angry (a few years ago he killed his wife in a temper).The second was a 8 year old girl I used to teach extra math lessons. To my horror, she was so scared of adults that she would immediately duck upon any gesture or movement from me (she never learned any maths and failed in school).So while smacking comes in many forms, there obviously are cases in which a law against physical punishment would do immense good.Also, don't children adopt behavior from their parents?

I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it, in old New York
The Alchemist Theatre presents
THE SECOND SHOW of the New York Stories trilogy:
by Eddie Valentine
In an unbalanced world made of fact and fiction, the glamorous elite fight to keep the drab in the shadows where they belong.
And then a new ruler takes the throne and begins granting superstardom and 15 minutes of fame to the commoners.
A semi-factual tale of the art scene of the 60's and 70's in New York City and how it impacted fame, fortunes, social brackets and the very understanding of what art may be.
The second play in the NEW YORK STORIES trilogy.
A season-long exploration of both the reality and popular perception of the Warhol scene, CBGB, Max's Kansas City, Studio 54, back alleys and bedrooms.
Join us for the adventure, excitement, drama and fun as The Alchemist Theatre transforms for each show and immerses audiences deep into the NYC "scene" of the 60's and 70's.

Greg Ryan

Greg began this surprising journey into acting about five years ago. But in those years, he's been in a number of shows, most recently Amadeus with the World Stage, Fawlty Towers at Carte Blanche Studios, Rocketman at the Soulstice and Closing Night at the Alchemist. Love my gal, Brooke, for supporting me in all of my crazy endeavors!
Kathy Landry

Her most recent work was in the feature film, Zombie Frat House, premiering September 2014 at the Milwaukee Short Film Festival. Other credits include work with the Grant Park Players, Village Players of Wauwatosa and Lake Country Players in Hartland, along with some commercial ad work. Enjoy the Trilogy and, to quote Andy Warhol, "I think everybody should like everybody".
Paul Pfannenstiel

Paul is no stranger to the stage. A theatre program graduate of Carroll University, Paul has been appearing in Wisconsin theatres for over 3 decades. Some of his favorite roles include Sir Robin in SPAMALOT, Dr. Cantway in THE LARAMIE PROJECT and the Prosecutor in MAN IN THE GLASS BOOTH.

the third show of the New York Stories trilogy:
by Neil Monk
Act 1: Meet a motley group of characters from punk rockers to politicians. From veterans to go-go dancers.
All are lost, lonely and scared in their own ways.
Act 2: Flocks are gathered and grace is found.
When you can't find a lover and friends have faded to grey...
When you're discarded on an island of misfits...
When you're too tough to die...
Slip on your disco shoes or pick up a spray can.
Shout in a punk band or have sex in the subway.
Find your scene. Make it real.
The final play in the NEW YORK STORIES trilogy.
A season-long exploration of both the reality and popular perception of the Warhol scene, CBGB, Max's Kansas City, Studio 54, back alleys and bedrooms.
Join us for the adventure, excitement, drama and fun as The Alchemist Theatre transforms for each show and immerses audiences deep into the NYC "scene" of the 60's and 70's.
A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror.
This is not the film with folks jumping around in front of the screen.
But there will be jumping.
To the left.
Let's do the time warp.

Early UCLA basketball[edit]
In 1919, Fred Cozens became the first head coach of the UCLA basketball and football teams in 1919. Cozens remained UCLA's basketball coach through 1921 and guided them to a 20–4 record. Caddy Works was the head coach of the University of California, Los Angeles from 1921 to 1939, guiding them to a 173-159 record. Works was a lawyer by profession and coached the team only during the evenings. According to UCLA player and future Olympian Frank Lubin, Works was "more of an honorary coach" with little basketball knowledge. Wilbur Johns was the head coach of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from 1939 to 1948, guiding them to a 93-120 record.
The John Wooden era[edit]
From 1948 to 1975, John Wooden, nicknamed the "Wizard of Westwood," served as head coach at UCLA. He won ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period, seven of those in a row, easily breaking the previous record of only two in a row.[6][7] Within this period, his teams won a record 88 consecutive games. He was named national coach of the year six times.
Wooden had immediate success, fashioning the mark of the rarest of coaches, an "instant turnaround" for an undistinguished, faltering program. Prior to his arrival, UCLA had only had two conference championship seasons in the previous 18 years. In his first season, he took a UCLA team that had a 12–13 record the previous year and transformed it into a Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) Southern Division champion with a 22–7 record,[7] the most wins in a season for UCLA since it started playing basketball in 1919.[8] He surpassed that number the next season with 24–7 and a second division title and overall conference title in 1950, and would add two more in his first four years. Up to that time, UCLA had collected a total of two division titles since the PCC began divisional play, and hadn't won a conference title of any sort since winning the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1927.
By the 1955-56 season, Wooden had established a sustained success at UCLA. That year, he guided the team to its first undefeated PCC conference title, and a 17-game winning streak that came to an end only at the hands of Bill Russell's University of San Francisco team in the 1956 NCAA Tournament. However, UCLA was unable to advance from this level over the immediately ensuing seasons, finding itself unable to return to the NCAA Tournament as the Pete Newell-coached teams at the University of California, Berkeley took control of the conference at the end of the decade. Also hampering the fortunes of Wooden's team during that time period was a probation imposed on all UCLA sports in the aftermath of a scandal involving illegal payments made to players on the school's football team, along with USC, Cal and Stanford, resulting in the dismantling of the PCC conference.[9]
By 1962, with the probation no longer in place, Wooden had righted the basketball program's ship and returned his team to the top of the conference. This time, however, they would take the next step, and in so doing, unleash a run of dominance unparalleled in the history of college basketball. A narrow loss, due largely to a controversial foul call, in the semifinal of the 1962 NCAA Tournament convinced Wooden that his Bruins were ready to contend for national championships.[9] Two seasons later, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place when assistant coach Jerry Norman persuaded Wooden that the team's small-sized players and fast-paced offense would be complemented by the adoption of a zone press defense.[9] The result was a dramatic increase in scoring, giving UCLA a powerhouse team that went undefeated on its way to the school's first basketball national championship.
Wooden's team repeated as national champions the following season before the 1966 squad fell briefly, finishing second in the conference to Oregon State. UCLA was ineligible to play in the NCAA tournament that year, because in those days only conference champions went to the tournament. However, the Bruins' 1967 incarnation returned with a vengeance, reclaiming not only the conference title, but the national crown with an undefeated season, and then retaining it every season but one until Wooden's retirement in 1975.
In January 1968, UCLA took its 47-game winning streak to the Astrodome in Houston, where Lew Alcindor squared off against Elvin Hayes in the Game of the Century before a national television audience. Houston upset UCLA 71-69 as Hayes scored 39 points. In a post-game interview, Wooden said, "We have to start over." Start over they did, as UCLA went undefeated the rest of year and trashed Houston 101-69 in the semi-final rematch of the NCAA tournament en route to the national championship.
The resurgence of the Bruins under Wooden made it obvious that they needed a new home. Since 1932, the Bruins had played at the Men's Gym. It normally seated 2,400, but had been limited to 1,500 since 1955 by order of the city fire marshal. This forced the Bruins to move games to Pan Pacific Auditorium, the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and other venues around Los Angeles when they were expected to attract larger crowds—something that happened fairly often after the Bruins' first national title. At Wooden's urging, a much larger on-campus facility, Pauley Pavilion, was built in time for the 1965-66 season.
Wooden coached what would prove to be his final game in Pauley Pavilion on March 1, 1975, in a 93–59 victory over Stanford. Four weeks later, following a 75–74 overtime victory over Louisville in the 1975 NCAA Tournament semifinal game, Wooden announced that he would retire at age 64 immediately after the championship game.[10] His legendary coaching career concluded triumphantly, as his team responded with a win over Kentucky to claim Wooden's first career coaching victory over the Wildcats and his unprecedented 10th national championship. During his tenure with the Bruins, Wooden became known as the "Wizard of Westwood" (although he personally disdained the nickname) and gained lasting fame with UCLA by winning 620 games in 27 seasons and 10 NCAA titles during his last 12 seasons, including seven in a row from 1967 to 1973.[6] His UCLA teams also had a record winning streak of 88 games[11][12] and four perfect 30–0 seasons.[6] They also won 38 straight games in NCAA Tournaments[6] and 98 straight home game wins at Pauley Pavilion. Wooden was named NCAA College Basketball's "Coach of the Year" in 1964, 1967, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973. In 1967, he was named the Henry Iba Award USBWA College Basketball Coach of the Year. In 1972, he shared Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsman of the Year" award with Billie Jean King. He was named to the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach in 1973,[13] becoming the first to be honored as both a player and a coach.[7]
Post-Wooden era[edit]
From 1975 to 1977, Gene Bartow served as the head coach of UCLA. He guided them to a 52–9 record, including a berth in the 1976 Final Four. He coached the 1977 College Player of the Year, Marques Johnson.
Gary Cunningham became the head coach at UCLA in 1977. He coached two seasons, winning the Pacific-8 and Pacific-10 conference championships and leading UCLA to a #2 ranking in the final polls both seasons.
Larry Brown then moved on to coach for UCLA from 1979–1981, leading his freshman-dominated 1979–80 team to the NCAA title game before falling to Louisville, 59–54. However, that appearance was later vacated by the NCAA after two players were found to be ineligible—one of the few times a Final Four squad has had its record vacated.
Larry Farmer was the head coach of UCLA from 1981 to 1984, guiding them to a 61–23 (.726) record. He had recruited Earvin "Magic" Johnson to come play at UCLA, but then told Johnson to hold off on a visit as he was more interested in Albert King.[14] Neither played for UCLA.
In 1984, Walt Hazzard was UCLA's basketball coach, twenty-years after winning the national championship as a player. He coached for four seasons, winning 77 out of 125 games. The 1984-1985 UCLA Bruin basketball team won the NIT championship. The 1986-1987 UCLA Bruin basketball team won both the Pac-10 regular season championship as well as the inaugural Pacific-10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.
The Jim Harrick era[edit]
In 1988, Jim Harrick returned to UCLA (he had spent two years as an assistant coach from 1978 to 1979) to assume head coaching duties after the firing of Walt Hazzard. During the recruiting period before his first season, he recruited Don MacLean which was the most significant recruit to commit to UCLA in several years and helped start a revival of the basketball program. During the 1994–1995 season, he led UCLA to a 31-2 record (a loss to California was subsequently forfeited to the Bruins) and the school's eleventh national championship, its first since the 1974–75 season. The 31 wins would stand as a school record until the 2005-06 season. In 1996, Harrick's Bruins were upset in the first round by Princeton. Shortly before the 1996 season, UCLA fired Jim Harrick for lying about who attended a recruiting dinner.
The Steve Lavin era[edit]
On the departure of assistants Mark Gottfried and Lorenzo Romar for head coaching jobs shortly after the 1995 NCAA Championship season, Lavin, as the assistant with the longest tenure at UCLA, was selected as interim head coach.
Later that season on February 11, 1997, with the Bruins tied for first place in the Pac-10 with an 8–3 record, UCLA removed the "interim" tag from Lavin's title and formally named him as its 11th head coach. The Bruins then won their next 11 games en route to the Pac-10title, before being eliminated by the Minnesota Gophers in the NCAA Midwest Regional Final. In seven seasons as head coach Lavin's record was 12–4 in games involving overtime. Additionally Lavin's Bruins had a 10–4 record against the rival USC Trojans. During the period 1997–2002, Lavin's Bruins compiled nine consecutive overtime victories. These included victories over Arizona, Cincinnati (2002 NCAA second round double overtime victory over No. 1 West Region seed), Kentucky, and Stanford (then ranked No 1).
At UCLA from 1996 to 2003, Lavin compiled a record of 145–78. As both an assistant and head coach, Lavin participated in 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (1990–2002), while working at Purdue and UCLA. During Lavin's tenure as a head coach, he was one of only two coaches in the country to lead his team to five NCAA "Sweet 16s" in six years (1997, 1998, 2000-2002), the other coach being Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. Lavin guided UCLA to six consecutive seasons of 20 or more wins, as well as six consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.[15]
As head coach at UCLA, Lavin and his staff recruited and signed the No. 1 rated recruiting class in the country in 1998 and 2001.[citation needed] Lavin signed seven McDonald's High School All-Americans. Seven of Lavin's former Bruin recruits became roster members of NBA teams: Trevor Ariza, Matt Barnes, Baron Davis, Dan Gadzuric, Ryan Hollins, Jason Kapono, and Earl Watson.
During Lavin's tenure as head coach, the Bruins qualified for six consecutive NCAA Tournaments (1997–2002). Lavin's record in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament is 10–1. His winning percentage (90.9%) in the first two rounds is second only to Dean Smith in NCAA Tournament history. However, Lavin also coached the Bruins to their only loss in an NCAA tournament game played in the State of California (a 2002 loss to Missouri in San Jose).
In seven seasons as head coach Lavin's record was 12–4 in games involving overtime. The Bruins defeated the No. 1 team in the country in four consecutive collegiate seasons: Stanford in 2000 and 2001, Kansas in 2002 and Arizona in 2003.
In March 2003, following UCLA's first losing season (10–19) in 52 years, Lavin was fired.
Ben Howland era[edit]
Despite some success under the watch of Steve Lavin, the program wanted to regain its position in the college basketball upper echelon. Even the success in the NCAA tournament belied the fact that UCLA had earned no better than a number 4 seed with the exception of the 1997 season. The 2002-03 season turned out to be the back-breaker for Lavin as the Bruins stumbled to a 10–19 record and a 6–12 record in the conference. It was the first losing season for UCLA in over five decades. Lavin was dismissed following the season.
UCLA looked to find a coach that could move the Bruins back to the elite ranks of the Pac-10 and the country. Howland's success at the University of Pittsburgh and his southern California roots made him an attractive candidate. In 2003, he accepted the only job he said he would ever contemplate leaving Pitt for: the head coaching duties at UCLA.[16] UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero, who declined to hire Howland at UC Irvine in 1997, felt that Howland's Big East style of basketball, characterized by a slow down offense and lock-down man on man defense, would vault the program to the top of the Pac-10. However, Howland came into a program at the bottom of the Pac-10 with a roster not suited to his style. In his first season the club finished 11-17 and 7-11 in the conference. Howland remedied this disappointment in his recruiting efforts. Howland produced a top tier recruiting class from athletes in southern California that fit his Big East style. Behind Lavin hold-over Dijon Thompson and Howland recruits Jordan Farmar and Arron Afflalo, UCLA produced a winning season for the first time in three years and returned to the tournament. Despite losing in the first round, the foundation had been set for future success.
Starting the 2005-06 season with the majority of the roster made over in Howland's image and with the Lavin hold-overs buying into the system (e.g., Ryan Hollins and Cedric Bozeman) the Bruins produced an excellent campaign. They finished the regular season 24–6, winning the Pac-10 Conference title. They then roared through the Pac-10 tournament, winning each game by double digits en route to only the second Pac-10 tournament championship in school history. The momentum continued into the NCAA tournament as the second-seeded Bruins staged a memorable late-game comeback to defeat Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen. They then upset top-seeded Memphis to reach the school's first Final Four in 11 years. The run ended against Florida in the championship game whose imposing front-line proved to be a matchup problem for the Bruins.
Howland continued his success at UCLA the following year. The Bruins finished undefeated at home for the first time in 22 years, winning the Pac-10 conference title. However they lost in their first Pac-10 tournament game and were seeded second in the NCAA Tournament West Region. UCLA turned a tight opening into a blowout over Howland's alma mater Weber State in the first round. After a close second-round win over Indiana, Howland led the Bruins to a win over his former team, Pitt, coached by his former assistant, Jamie Dixon, in the Sweet Sixteen. The Bruins then again upset the top seed in the West Region, Kansas, in a classic matchup of two storied basketball programs and reached the second of UCLA's first consecutive Final Fours since the John Wooden era, only to lose again to Florida in the national semifinal.
At the start of the 2007-08 season, expectations for UCLA were the highest ever with the arrival of Kevin Love, one of the best low-post prospects in the high school class of 2007 [1]. Combined with the emergence of Russell Westbrook and Darren Collison in the back-court, the Bruins won their 3rd consecutive Pac-10 conference title, and their second Pac-10 tournament title in three years. They received their first #1 seed in the NCAA tournament since 1995, and once again reached the Final Four, where they faced another top seed, the Memphis Tigers. Memphis got the better of the Bruins, who returned to Westwood without a championship once again.
However, the Bruins program under Howland began to struggle in subsequent seasons. After 2008, UCLA did not advance past the first weekend of the NCAA tourney, and did not qualify for the tournament in 2010 and 2012.[17] With a 77-73 victory over Penn on December 10, 2011; Howland passed Jim Harrick for second on UCLA's all-time wins list behind John Wooden. Nonetheless, questions about how Howland was running the program began to come into focus. In February 2012, a Sports Illustrated article portrayed UCLA player Reeves Nelson as a bully on and off the court, who at times intentionally tried to injure his teammates. According to the article, Howland looked the other way and did not discipline Nelson for over two years.[18][19] From 2008—the Bruins last Final Four appearance—through 2012, at least 11 players left the UCLA program.[20]
Although the 2012-2013 Bruins won the Pac-12 regular season championship, they quickly bowed out in the first round of the NCAA tournament. On March 25, 2013, three days after being eliminated by 11th seed Minnesota, UCLA fired Howland.[21][22]
Steve Alford era[edit]
On March 30, 2013, Alford signed a seven-year, $18.2-million contract to become the head coach of UCLA, replacing the fired Ben Howland.[23] That comes out to $2.6 million a year. It is interesting to compare Alford's contract with John Wooden's first contract at UCLA in 1948, where he signed a three-year contract for $6,000 in the first year. In his first year as head coach Alford led UCLA to a Pac-12 tournament championship, a feat not accomplished since 2008.
Season-by-season results[edit]
The men's basketball team played in the 2000 seat Men's Gym from 1932 to 1965. They played at other venues around Los Angeles including the Pan-Pacific Auditorium and Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. In 1965, Pauley Pavilion was built on campus and has been the home of Bruin Basketball since that time. During the 2011-12 season, Pauley Pavilion underwent a complete renovation, both inside and out, earning it the nickname of "New Pauley." A new attendance record was set when 13,727 fans watched the Bruins defeating the Arizona Wildcats 74–69 on March 2, 2013.
The team has had 12 head coaches in its history, and they have won 11 NCAA Championships, the most of any school.[24] John Wooden won 10 national championships between 1964 and 1975, and Jim Harrick won the other in 1995. The New York Times wrote that Wooden "made UCLA the most successful team in college basketball."[25] After Wooden retired, the four coaches that succeeded him resigned, and the following three—Harrick included—were fired. The average tenure of those coaches after Wooden was four years.[26][a] Former coach Ben Howland, led the Bruins to three consecutive Final Four appearances from 2006 to 2008.[27]
UCLA has 31 conference championships and USC has seven. When John Wooden became the coach, UCLA turned into a national basketball powerhouse. UCLA has won 11 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournaments and has dominated the conference, winning two games for every one that USC won. As of the 2013–2014 season, UCLA has won or shared the conference title 31 times, and USC has won or shared the title 7 times.[28]
Notre Dame and Arizona[edit]
UCLA had a basketball rivalry with Notre Dame that started when Digger Phelps was the Notre Dame coach and John Wooden was the UCLA coach. UCLA and Notre Dame played a home-and-home meeting for several seasons, which is otherwise uncommon outside conference play. This rivalry existed from the desire of the Notre Dame athletic department to schedule the top schools for intersectional competition. UCLA and Notre Dame played 42 times between 1966 and 1995, and the height of the rivalry was when Notre Dame ended UCLA's consecutive-game winning streak at 88 on January 19, 1974. UCLA also broke a 60-game Notre Dame winning streak in South Bend. Previous UCLA head coach Ben Howland scheduled Notre Dame four times: in 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009.[29] After UCLA's victory on February 7, 2009, UCLA leads the all-time series 28-19.[30]
Since the mid-1980s, UCLA has also had a basketball rivalry with Arizona under coach Lute Olson, as the two schools competed for the Pac-10 Championship every year. Since 1985 the two teams have combined to win 21 out of the 29 conference titles. The UCLA-Arizona basketball rivalry still is seen as the match up of the two premier teams in the conference. Also, the performance of the two schools influences the national opinion of the conference.[31]

Rebecca Rose sounds nice and I love Charlie for a girl. Tamara is also nice. But Dolly is not my taste and Tulip sounds like they had to pick a flower because of the Rose.

The first names are questionable, but the rest is okay.

i am have a slight obsession with names... i once researched same sex twins and names. there were almost always issues when one girl received a very feminine or cutesy name (grace or dolly) and one received a masculine name (like charlie or jordan). you don't see it happen that much though. i think both names are adorable and i'm sure celebrity babies will have totally different issues :) just kidding. they both seem like they will be happy parents!

Investing in India
DECODING NRI INVESTMENTS AND TAXATION: As an individual investor, why would you want to contend with the complexity of legal codes governing foreign investment in India, the tax consequences in two countries, repatriation, and the risk of currency fluctuations? Because of the potential of comparatively superior returns, that's why! In the world of commerce and finance, India's graph is on an uptick. If multinational corporations are making a beeline there and if professional money managers are stepping up their interests in India, why should you be left behind? How does India's 9% return on a fixed deposit sound compared to the 1.5% here? And a long term equity return of 15%-18% in India versus the 8%-10% here? So don't let up on the prospects simply because you don't know the ins and outs. With the right expert help, you can wade through the maze, offering your portfolio a promising option for diversification and outsized gains. Read more »
