A landmark exhibition in Washington celebrates the work of Paul Cezanne.
SOME years ago, in a major show of a dozen contemporary French artists at the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, there was an intriguing series of "paintings", each one made up of just frames. The author of the work declared that Paul Cezanne had taken painting to the end of its journey: there was nothing any artist coming after him could add. It was the last word, or, should one say, stroke of paint on canvas - the reason this painter had eschewed canvas.
Paving the way
Cezanne (1839-1906) occupies a godly place in the canon of art, rather like a master-guru for the artists who followed him. Younger painters like Braque, Picasso, Matisse and Mondrian were to derive the foundations for cubism and glean the embryonic stirrings of Modernism from his later oeuvre. It was the landscape of Provence in southern France that enabled Cezanne to pick up the European tradition of art where he found it, take it by its hand and yank it forward, leading it into totally uncharted directions. He did this by carrying out fundamental changes to painting, breaking as it were from conventional representation. And most importantly, colluding with geometry. Among the painter's most quoted statements is: "Render nature by means of the cylinder, the sphere and the cone, all placed in perspective". A landmark exhibition titled "Cezanne in Provence" that opened recently at the National Gallery of Art, Washington to commemorate his death centenary cogently depicts the importance of Provence in the life and work of the painter.
Cezanne's muse
Cezanne was born in Aix, once the capital of Provence, and returned to the countryside around the city for good in the 1880s after the mandatory years in Paris and later in Pontoise and Auvers, during which he stalked the museums, learned to paint, was drawn to the work of Gustave Courbet and familiarised himself with impressionism, especially the paintings of Camille Pissarro who impressed upon him the need to get out of the studio with his palette and paint outdoors. The show (comprised 87 paintings and 30 watercolours, a majority of them from museums and private collections in the United States) will, fittingly, move to the Granet Museum in Aix-en-Provence this summer. A coming home of sorts. What makes this show particularly exhilarating is the way it depicts Cezanne's gradual shedding of the academic influences of Paris and his trajectory towards inventing his own pictorial vocabulary and grammar, with the Provence countryside as his muse. Though limited to the work Cezanne did in this region, the range of the paintings is wide and diverse, from his early efforts to, literally, his last work: a melancholic portrait of his old gardener with arthritic hands and sunken cheeks - like a late Rembrandt self-portrait where the passing of time has been unflinchingly cruel. Initially, the painter used a knife instead of a brush and a sombre palette with heavily impastoed paint. Apparently a Parisian critic sarcastically remarked that with his "Provencale temperament" Cezanne "painted not only with knife but a pistol." His later, more nuanced work, has lighter brushwork and his obsession with pictorial structure and nature is evident. The brilliant Mediterranean sun had obviously changed his palette: blues, greens, oranges predominate.
Parallel track
Cezanne once said that "Art is a harmony that runs parallel to nature". The painter never strayed from this parallel track: it changed his perceptions of colour and forms. Pines, rocks, alleys of chestnut trees increasingly inhabit his work. Montagne Sainte Victoire in particular became his touchstone - even when he moved from one village or town to another (it is to Cezanne's work what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris) he was always within painting distance of the ubiquitous mountain. Critics have described it as the "leitmotif of the show". When Cezanne returned to settle permanently in Provence, he moved to his father's summer home in Jas de Baffon. In his early paintings of his home you can merely glimpse Montagne Sainte Victoire, but then as the painter moves around in the area, he includes more and more of the mountain and you see it from every possible angle. And towards the end of his life and the exhibition the mountain quivers into abstraction: something strange appears to be going. It's almost as if the painter's beloved mountain has imbibed human passions. Moreover, these landscapes with the mountains, houses, fields and trees, comprised "patches" of colours in the many renderings of it between 1902 and 1906, veer towards abstraction. Cezanne's interaction with Pissarro had convinced him that he should "paint patches of colour" rather achieve the desired results by "modeling tones of light and shade". "To read nature is to see it," he said, "by means of colour patches, following upon each other according to a law of harmony." In a sense Cezanne was a strange hybrid, not quite free of the academic traditions of Western art in his compositions and penchant for landscapes and uncannily precluding the future with his use of "patches of colour" and cubes and other geometrical shapes to construct landscapes.

Presenting entrepreneurship as just another career choice at U. of Miami
Last week, I wrote stories for our website and paper about the Blackstone Charitable Foundation's decision to bring the Blackstone LaunchPad program to Philadelphia.
The charitable arm of The Blackstone Group granted $3 million over five years to establish centers to promote entrepreneurship on the campuses of Temple University and Philadelphia University and to have the University City Science Center work with both universities to support the centers and connect them to the business community.
The LaunchPad centers are modeled after a center for promoting entrepreneurship called The Launch Pad that the University of Miami opened on its campus in 2008. As a result, when I was reporting the stories I spoke to William Scott Green, Miami's senior vice provost and dean of undergraduate education.
Students must apply to join The Launch Pad community. If they're accepted, they fill out a venture assessment form, in which they explain their idea for a business and detail the resources they think they'll need to get it off the ground.
After The Launch Pad staff reads the form, the students come in and talk to them about it. I assumed one of the things they'd talk about was the potential viability of the business the students are proposing to start. But Green said that's not the case.
"We never, ever pass judgment on these plans, positive or negative," he said. "We never say to a kid, 'That's a bad idea,' or, 'That's great.' We always say, 'Have you done this? Have you checked this?' It's all about educating them to take charge of [their idea for a business] themselves."

Ratings not whole ranking when it comes to nursing homes
Dear Readers: Many of you read the recent articles about the new Medicare ranking system for nursing homes. I'm sure some of you were surprised and even upset by local ratings.
For years, there have been private Web sites that have compared nursing homes, most using the county or state Web sites as a resource. I've shaken my head in wonder, as I know many of our local nursing homes well and often they didn't look nearly as good as they are, if people only went by these ratings.

I love these probiotics!!!!

These are the best probiotics available, and at the best price I have found anywhere! My holistic vet says "Don't underestimate the gut," so my dogs get one every night. They can't fake symptoms, so I know that there has been an improvement in their health. I also feel much better when I take Dr. Ohhira's on a regular basis.

I began taking Dr. Ohhira's 12 Plus for my digestive problems and to build my immune system. After a couple of weeks, I realized that I wasn't needing OTH allergy meds anymore! I love this product. Expensive, but the money you save on other stuff makes up for it!
Starting with one a day worked for us.

Posted by Reviewer1499756 on May 19, 2008
Recommended dose per packaging is 2 capsules/day. Due to possible constipation or runs as a response to the "remodeling" of the balance in the intestinal tract, we decided to start with one per day and see how our bodies responded to that. My husband, mother and I all take these and all had different types and degrees of response. After a week our mild reactions had gone and we are all up to the recommended dose.
Perhaps an overrated product

We Cannot Ignore Our Consciences: Cardinal Dolan On Religious Liberty Comments
Speaking on the theme of "Let Religious Freedom Ring", Cardinal Dolan noted that "freedom of religion has been the driving force of almost every enlightened, un-shackling, noble cause in American history. Thus, the defense of religious freedom is not some evangelical Christian polemic, or wiley strategy of discredited Catholic bishops, but the quintessential American cause, the first line in the defense of and protection of human rights," he said.

I would like to point out to Joe, religion is not the main source of tragedy in the world. The wars fought in the name of religion really are not religious wars at all. In Ireland and Israel, their fighting over land and not religion. The worst genocides in human history happened under atheist regimes such as the Soviet Union and China. While atheist and secular groups use their money and influence to force religion off the public square (for example the billboards that go up around Christmas time and the historic crosses they try to take down), the Catholic Church feeds thousands of starving people everyday and saves thousands of lives. Finally, if you think there's too much religious freedom, then you have no right to comment at all, for you are exercising your freedom to do so.

The Catecism specifically addresses "scandal" as a grave offense. When Catholics in highly public positions violate the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Church has an obligation to enforce Church teachings.
If a divorced, remarried (without benefit of an annulment) person cannot receive sacraments, then public figures who identify themselves as Catholic and "pro-choice" need to be held accountable. How else can the faithful understand that the Church is consistent and strong in its teachings?
The Church has not held VP Biden, Katherine Sebilious, and Nancy Pelosi accountable.

Sometimes I wonder if Cardinal Dolan is more interested in constitutional law than the Ten Commandments, Natural Law, and the Divine Law. He keeps on insisting that this HHS mandate is all about religious freedom and is not about contraception. Souls are going to hell, but our case looks good in secular courts. Sorry, coach Dolan, you have to condemn the HHS mandate as a moral evil that blasphemes God and offends His Majesty.

Yes, Joe. It's sad, but true. We are ignorant. Perhaps nowhere more ignorant than with regard to our own sin. It's our biggest blind spot. At least until He shines His light into our darkness. The Holy Spirit comes to convict us of our sin. Why? Because we do not at first believe in Jesus. If we did, there would be no need. We would be forgiven and cleansed already because of our faith. But, because we do not believe, and many do not, He must come and convince. We are only driven to a Savior when we know we need saving. The Holy Spirit must convict us of sin so that we will know we need saving. We must know so we will believe. This is the struggle between the human race and faith. We resist being told we are sinners. After all, we've spent quite a bit of effort to present ourselves otherwise. We've put our best foot forward to make an impression---on God and on others. Why would we willingly hear the witness of a Spirit that says we're corrupt to the core? Why would resourceful people such as ourselves readily present ourselves to Someone who came to save us? Save us from what? Having been saved by grace, we still seek to be perfected by works. The Spirit will not let us. He will not only remind us that we came to the Savior one day years ago; He will compel us to come to Him today. And tomorrow. And the next day. As long as sin is present, so the Spirit will convict. And as long as He convicts, we must not resist. Drop the pose of self-righteousness and remember your need of grace............that is what the Spirit tells us. I think it's quite clearly demonstrated in worldly events what it is we need saving from.

Look at the state of the world today and who is causing all the trouble before making stupid statements about religious freedom. The most obvious thing in the world today is that there is too much religious freedom in the world today. Most if not all of the worlds human tragedy is grounded in religious crazyness. Faith is not belief without evidence flowing from God any more. Faith is now just pretending to know what you don't know based on bias, predjudice and indigestion.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has returned home from Cuba after a five-day round of radiation therapy and says the cancer treatments have been going well.
Mr. Chavez says the treatments have been administered for five days in a row and that he will now take two days off before returning to Havana on Saturday for the next round.
The Venezuelan leader says his body has handled the radiation well so far. He says this week's treatments have been the first of five rounds that are planned.
Mr. Chavez began the treatments following an operation last month that removed what he said was a cancerous tumour.

You've been warned.
Visiting St. Paul
Most major airlines serve Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The cab ride to downtown hotels from the airport takes about 25 minutes and costs about $20. The SuperShuttle van, stopping at most hotels, takes up to 45 minutes; it is $13 each way.
Winter Carnival information is available at (800) 488-4023, (651) 223-4700 and www.winter-carnival.com. A $5 button (four for $17) will get you into most events.
The 12-story St. Paul Hotel (350 Market Street, 800-292-9292) was designed by the firm of Reed & Stem, which also worked on Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, and opened in 1910. It overlooks Rice Park, where the Winter Carnival ice sculptures are displayed. Many of its 254 rooms and suites are furnished with antiques; rates are $159 to $249, with suites starting at $299.
The Best Western Kelly Inn (161 St. Anthony Avenue, 651-227-8711), near the state capitol building, is a comfortable, less-expensive alternative. Rooms are $79 to $109.

who sells cedrus libani var stenocoma around here?
joeschmoe80(6 (Ohio))December 10, 2012
I'd be willing to drive 6 hours...
Other than Gee Nursery, who sells TINY Stenocoma Lebanon cedar, I CANNOT find this tree anywhere. I'm looking for a nursery, within a 6 - 8 hours drive of Columbus, who sells good-sized (8' or taller) Cedrus libani var. stenocoma.
Does anyone know of anywhere that I can get one?
Our buddy, Bass, at Trees of Joy, sells C.libani

HALLE, Germany (AP) — Rafael Nadal was knocked out in the second round of the grass-court Gerry Weber Open on Thursday, losing 6-4, 6-1 to German wild card Dustin Brown.
Nadal loses Halle opener to German wild card
"I didn't play," Nadal said. "That can happen when you play an opponent like this. But I don't want to talk about the opponent."
Brown, the world No. 85, broke Nadal's serve at the fifth attempt to win the first set, and he pulled off two audacious lobs in succession to break the Spaniard again early in the second.
Nothing Nadal tried seemed to work in his first match since winning his ninth French Open title. He had a first-round bye at Halle, where he was the top seed.
"The only way I could have tried to do more was resisting with my serve, something I hadn't practiced a lot these days," said Nadal, who was unnerved by Brown's unpredictability.
"For the first four games he didn't put any returns on the court and then suddenly he was playing winners from the return, so it's difficult to analyze these kinds of matches. The only thing I can do is keep working the way that I did the last three days, because I came here, I tried hard, I tried my best."
Brown became the lowest ranked player to beat a world No. 1 since 2008, when No. 98 Mardy Fish beat Roger Federer at Indian Wells.
"I never played against a world No. 1 before, never played him before, so this is just crazy for me," the player with the distinctive dreadlocks said.

The Taurus Judge is a five shot revolver designed and produced by Taurus International, chambered for .410 bore shot shells and the .45 Colt cartridge. Taurus promotes the Judge as a self-defense tool against carjacking and for home protection.
There have been two model number designations for this firearm, the 4410 (no longer produced) and the 4510 (current). Both model numbers are essentially the same revolver, and any 4410 or 4510 will yield basically the same performance. It got its name "The Judge" in 2006 when Bob Morrison, Executive Vice President, learned that judges in high-crime areas of Miami, Florida were purchasing the revolver for personal defense in their courtrooms, and after Morrison investigated further, the model designation was changed from 4410 to 4510 to more accurately reflect the revolver's versatility (.45 Colt + 410 shot → "4510").[1] Taurus International reports that the Judge is their top-selling firearm.[1]
Though Taurus deliberately designed the Judge to fire shotshells, the Judge does not qualify as a "short-barreled shotgun" under the National Firearms Act of 1934 as its rifled barrel makes it a regular handgun.[2] However, the Judge is considered a short-barreled shotgun under California state law, which has a broader definition of "short-barreled shotgun," and the Judge is thus illegal to possess in that state.[3] The rifling is shallower than normal, giving single-projectile loads less stabilization than they would receive in other handguns while reducing the rapid dispersion of the shot from shotshells.[2] Taurus developed the shallow rifling after numerous experiments to find rifling that worked well with both types of ammunition.[4]
The Judge, a derivative of the Taurus Tracker, comes in three barrel lengths (3", 4" and 6.5" - Tracker), two cylinder lengths (2.5" and 3"), and two finishes (blued and stainless steel). The 3" barrel model also comes in two weight classes, the standard steel construction (29 oz currently, 36 oz previously) and alloy-based "Ultra-Lite" (22 oz currently, 24 oz previously). Felt recoil can be significant with the Ultra-Lite series, due to its light weight, especially with .45 Colt rounds. As of December 2008, spur-less hammers remain available with all short-barrel lengths of The Judge. Crimson Trace laser grips are available for standard models of this firearm.[5]
At the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show in January 2009, Taurus introduced several new models of the Judge. These have been labeled the Public Defender series and are based on the Taurus Model 85 frame. As with the original Judge, these shoot five rounds of either .45 Colt or .410 shot. Taurus is positioning the Public Defender series as a concealed carry piece. Taurus also introduced the tactical R Ported. The Taurus 4510TKR-3SSR (stainless steel) and 4510TKR-3BR (blued) offer a 3″ ported barrel with a Picatinny rail.[6]
In 2010 Taurus introduced the Raging Judge which is chambered for .454 Casull as well .45 Colt and 3" .410 shot shells.[6]
In 2011 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada Taurus introduced the Raging Judge XXVIII chambered for 28 gauge shot shells. The 67 ounce revolver held five shells in the cylinder and had a 6.5" barrel. The cylinder used a double lock-up similar to the Raging Judge chambered in .454 Casull.
However, rumors began to quickly circulate during the show that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) seized the prototype guns due to an initial finding that the guns were actually short-barreled shotguns, and therefore illegal.[7] However, Mark Keefe at American Rifleman reported that Taurus invited the BATFE to a meeting to discuss the revolver, and no BATFE determination was made at that time.[8]
On March 27, 2011, Taurus International President and CEO Bob Morrison stated on the Gun Talk radio show that the Taurus Raging Judge XXVIII was still under development.[9] Ultimately, the gun never made it into production and no official statement was made by Taurus about the gun again.
Taurus makes an 18.5in barrelled[10] carbine variant of the Taurus Judge revolver along with its partner company, Rossi. The carbine is known as the Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge.[11]
It comes in the original combination chambering of .410 bore and .45 Long Colt, as well as the .454 Casull chambering. The Taurus/Rossi Circuit Judge has small blast shields attached to the cylinder to protect the shooter from hot gases escaping between the cylinder and barrel.[11]
The carbine has a butt stock and forend made of either Brazilian hardwood or plastic and uses a fiber optic front sight.[12] An optional Picatinny scope mount base allows the user to mount a sight on the top of the frame and a choke is included for turkey hunting.[13]
Shot shells in .410 bore are not considered especially effective in personal defense; for instance, there are only three (21⁄2" shell) or five (3" shell) pellets in 000 buckshot,[14] a common defense round; this compared to nine in the more common 12 gauge shell. However as of 2008 Taurus has addressed this concern with the release of the Judge Magnum which can fire 3" shot shells. The 3" shot shell 000 buckshot version contains 5 pellets, which makes it more effective as a self-defense round.[4]
Federal offers ammo specifically designed for the Judge. The 21⁄2" 000 Buckshot contains 4 pellets.[4] While the Judge's cylinder bore is adequate for higher-powered single-projectile loadings such as the .44 Magnum or .454 Casull, the gun is not designed for the high chamber pressures that these cartridges generate and thus could explode if they are used with it. To prevent this, the cylinder bores are choked to prevent successful chambering of rounds larger in diameter than the .410 shotshell and longer than the .45 Colt.[2]
Taurus introduced the Raging Judge Magnum based on their Raging Bull model to address this issue; the Raging Judge Magnum safely chambers .454 Casull as well as .45 Colt cartidges.[15]

First- and Second-Round Site Selections
The Division I Tennis Committee will select the first- and second-round sites from the pool of institutions that have completed the facility evaluation and key contact forms. Bylaw 31.1.3 prescribes the five primary criteria in site selection:
Quality and availability of facility and other necessary accommodations;
Revenue potential;
Attendance history and potential;
Geographical location; and
Championships operating costs.
In keeping with the Division I philosophy that top-seeded teams should be allowed the opportunity to host preliminary-round competition, any Top 16-seeded institution that has submitted the necessary paperwork to host and meets the minimum criteria established by the committee for hosting, should be able to serve as a host for the first and second-rounds. If a No. 1-16 seed has not submitted the necessary paperwork to host first- and second-round competition or does not meet the facility requirements as outlined by the committee, then the committee will select an unseeded institution to host, based on the general site selection criteria. Institutions are encouraged to submit bids to host first- and second-round competition even if they are not among the highestseeded teams.
Each institution interested in hosting first- and second-round competition, regardless of seed, must complete and submit an online facility evaluation and key contact forms not later than Tuesday, April 26. Instructions on how to access and submit the form will be sent to directors of athletics. Hard copies of the form no longer will be distributed.
Only institutions that complete and submit the facility evaluation and key contact forms will be considered for first- and second-round host opportunities, including the topseeded teams.
It is not necessary to complete a proposed budget form for first- and second-round competition. Each first- and second-round host will receive a $4,500 stipend if they host men or womens competition, and an $8,000 stipend if they host both the mens and womens tournaments.
Please note that the committee has adopted the following requirements for first- and second-round host sites:
Minimum of six hard-surface, quality courts of similar speed and surface with umpires chairs;
Adequate number of practice courts of same or similar surface to the competitioncourts near the competition site;
Availability of backup indoor site (if appropriate for your region);
Appropriate seating for estimated attendance;
Minimum of six USTA-certified umpires plus one head referee;
Adequate training facilities and medical personnel on site at all times;
Tournament director (other than the institutions head coach) and appropriate game management personnel;
Two squeegees and two blowers available at each competition court;
Hotels (22 for single gender sites and 43 for dual-gender sites) secured 30 miles or 30 minutes, whichever is less, from the competition site; and
Hosts must fax a letter of agreement between the host and the team hotel(s) to the NCAA stating that rooms are being held. Failure to provide the letter of agreement may jeopardize your selection as a host. Failure to secure the minimum number of as a host in the future.
In an effort to enhance the student-athlete experience at the first- and secondrounds of competition, the tennis committee has implemented the following additional requirements for hosting:
Hosts shall provide a players lounge area with refreshments.
Hosts shall provide either a digital copy or hard copy (minimum of 5x7) team
photo memento for every member of the travel party, with an NCAA banner in the background.
Hosts shall ensure that Event 1 merchandise is displayed appropriately.
Hosts shall ensure NCAA signage is displayed properly.
Hosts shall follow protocol provided by the NCAA for the introduction of players.

I have a SL4 DataGrid with one template column. The column template contains an image (source points to an resource inside the xap) and a textblock. The image source is set using a binding to the view-model + a value converter that converts to a valid path to the image.
For most rows it works, however for one row the image is not visible when the page is shown. BUT if I scroll that row out of view (even by a pixel out, but has to be out) then in view again, the image appears.
Any idea what kind of magic is going on? :)

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP) — Merrill Mann had always been intrigued when she saw people on standup paddleboards tooling around on area lakes, so when she found a coupon for a rental, she decided to give it a try.
Now she's hooked.
"I loved it the first time I tried it," said Mann, who rides on lakes near her home in Avon. "Anything with the outdoors, being on the water, it's very serene yet you're getting a workout. You're exercising and out in the sun."
Standup paddleboarding has exploded in popularity the past few years. A sort of combination between surfing and kayaking, it has become a hit on oceans, lakes and rivers across the United States and beyond.
According to a 2013 Outdoor Foundation recreation report, standup paddleboarding was the most popular outdoor activity for first-time participants, garnering 56 percent of the newbies among all outdoor activities last year.
The appeal is simple: It's relatively easy, available to a wide range of ages and can be done just about anywhere there's a body of water.
"I think the reason it's blowing up so much is there's no limitations," said RJ Murray, co-owner of Three Brothers Boards in Daytona Beach, Florida. "As long as you have a body of water, it doesn't matter where you are. People who lived away from the ocean and wanted to be in that environment never really had that option before paddleboarding."
Standup paddleboarding is not new.
The ancient Hawaiians were believed to use it as transportation between islands and for fishing, while fishermen from Asia to South America have used forms of standup paddleboarding while working their catch.
The recent rise in popularity started with surfers and carried on with tourists in beach towns who then took the idea back to where they live.
Now, standup paddleboarders can be found cruising along the shore on just about every coast, across mountain lakes, racing down rivers and even participating in group yoga classes atop their boards.
"When I first heard people wanted to do yoga classes on paddleboards, I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me,'" said Murray, who started Three Brothers with his brother Justin in 2009. (A third brother, Jason, died earlier that year.) "People are getting really creative with it. I can't imagine where it will be four years from now."
The equipment certainly has changed.
Little more than modified surfboards just a few years ago, boards now are specifically designed for standup paddling, averaging 10 to 12 feet in length and contoured for easy balancing. Ocean boards are typically made of the same materials as surfboards, while boards used on lakes and rivers can be made of inflatable material used for river rafts or injected plastic like kayaks.
Optimal size for the paddle is 8 to 10 inches longer than the paddler, to give them leverage.
"The boards have gotten more complex, the competition stiffer," Murray said. "In four years, the sport has done a 180."
The changes have added to the popularity.

Sometimes keeping your Android device clean is about more than deleting files to free up storage. Hiding apps you don't plan on using, putting the right ones at your fingertips, and adjusting the availability of shortcuts can all lead to a more gratifying experience using your device. Here are some tips for helping your Android experience feel fresh, without requiring any elbow grease.
Hide bloatware
Before you spend time organizing your apps to best suit your needs, take a few moments to hide the ones you're not using. Press the Menu button, choose Settings, and then navigate to the last tab labeled General. You should see an Application Manager option on that tab, which will allow you to view a list of all applications installed on your device. Please note that not all bloatware can be disabled. For each app you want to disable (meaning it will not run in the background, or show in your app drawer), select the app, then tap the Turn Off/Disable button. Now you won't waste time organizing stuff you won't be using.
Change app drawer view settings
When you add or remove apps, especially if it's a frequent practice, the app drawer can become a bit difficult to navigate. This can be further complicated by not displaying apps in alphabetical order. When you have the app drawer open, press the menu button, and then select View type. In the menu that appears, choose either the alphabetical grid or alphabetical list -- either of these will make finding apps much easier.
Create app folders for organization
If you think the app drawer requires too much scrolling to be considered convenient, then its likely you have many app icons spread across your home screen(s). This can be just as messy as the drawer, if not worse. Instead, why not try using folders to group similar or often-used apps. Want to create your first folder? Long press on the Home screen, select Folder, and then give it a name. Now you can press, hold, and drag apps into the new folder.
Customize docked icons
While we're grouping apps up, why not adjust the icons docked along the bottom of your Android's screen? These are supposed to serve as shortcuts to apps you use most often -- but the default selection may not correspond to your favorite app choices, rendering the dock useless. Did you know you can just tap, hold, and drag an app to the dock? It's as simple as that to keep the apps you use the most available at all times. And if you're unable to drag the icons off, you're probably using a slighter older version of Android, in which case you can find instructions here for changing the app selection.
Use widgets for favorite app features
Perhaps you're looking to get away from relying on opening an app every time you want to use one of its features. That's where widgets come in. Whether you want to take a glance at the weather, or quickly share your thoughts, widgets have you covered. To try out the ones you already have installed, simply press and hold on your Home screen and then select Apps and Widgets (or similar). Observe the tabs along the top of the new screen, and make sure you're on the Widgets tab when looking through your selection. To add one of them to your home screen, press and hold on the widget and then drag it to where you'd like it to display. Keep in mind that some widgets are offered in different sizes; the numbers under each widget name detail how many spaces the widget will need, both vertically and horizontally.
Sort notification panel icons
While not specifically app-related, speedy access to your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Silent settings are probably the best features to add to the notification shade. However, this is another area where you can customize which settings you need the most. To make it happen, either press the Menu button and then Settings, or tap the cog icon in the notification shade. The latest version of Android on Samsung Galaxy devices has a specific area for these settings: Settings > Device > Notification panel. For previous versions, you will find these options in Settings > My Device > Display > Notification panel.
Even if you only tackle a couple of these ideas, you will likely notice a difference. Do you have any other tips for things to adjust on your Android for a better experience? Share them in the comments.

âeoePerceptive and entertaining.âe
"A vivid portrait of a young man on the make, as ambitious as he was gifted. . . Enthralling."
-DailyBeast.com [Newsweek digital edition]
âeoeMuch has been written about Winston Churchill, but there is still much to learn, especially about those early years when he seemed destined for greatness. Michael Shelden now thoughtfully explores those years in Young Titanâe¦.An engaging as well as perceptive take on the man who believed that while we are all worms âe~he was a glowwormâe(TM) âe" a belief history would splendidly vindicate.âe
âeoeEntertaining and eruditeâe¦. Shelden is full of sharp literary insights about Churchill, as one would expect from a literary biographer of his rank.âe
âeoe[A] solid biography covering the first four decades of Winston Churchillâe(TM)s life, marked by both ambition and heartbreakâe¦.Shelden offers an unadorned account of Churchillâe(TM)s dogged pursuit to build his legacy against some long odds.âe
âeoeSwiftly narratedâe¦. Shelden, a noted biographer whose 1992 Orwell was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, explores the young titan in entertaining depth, with deep regard for Churchill's achievements and no end of colorful detail.âe
âeoeMichael Shelden has done the nigh-impossible: he has found original things to say about the man Isaiah Berlin called âe~the largest human being of our timeâe(TM)âe"Winston Churchill. In this entertaining and deeply researched book, Shelden paints a memorable portrait of the young Churchillâe(TM)s life and loves.âe
-Jon Meacham, author of American Lion
âeoeYoung Titan gives us an exciting, needed look at Winston Churchill in his years as a Liberal. Breaking with the Conservatives, he battled for better working conditions, for unemployment insurance, for improvements in education. He waged a two-front war: against the Tories on the right, the socialists on the left. It is the young Churchill at his best, a great foretelling of what was to come when Britain and the world needed him most.âe
-Chris Matthews, author of Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero and anchor of MSNBCâe(TM)s Hardball
âeoeFor history buffs, Winston Churchill is the gift that keeps on giving, and in Young Titan Michael Shelden has given us the gift of Churchillâe(TM)s fascinating formative years. Itâe(TM)s all hereâe"the boy wonder, adventurer, romantic, orator, and eloquent man in the arena. I didn't want it to end.âe
-Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation
âeoeA biographer of note, [Shelden] actually found a fresh angle on England's man with the big cigar that should appeal to avid history fans.âe
"In sparkling prose, Shelden explores the tendentious world of high-level Edwardian politics as Churchill worked with and competed against the likes of Herbert H. Asquith, David Lloyd George, and other notables."
âeoeA fluid and informative examination of the early career of one of modern Britainâe(TM)s most outstanding political leaders.âe
âeoe[A] charming new biographyâe¦.Shelden has capitalized on an understudied period of an iconic life and proved that such a study can still surprise.âe

Rooting for the hometown boys
By Jim Caple
Page 2 columnist
I found myself in an unusual position at a sporting event last night. I was standing up, clapping my hands and cheering for my team.
Normally, I sit in the press box, professionally interested in the game, but physically and emotionally removed from its outcome. But last night was different. Last night was personal. Last night, my high school alma mater was playing in the Washington state basketball tournament for the first time in a quarter century. And with 48 seconds left in the game, my R.A. Long Lumberjacks were trailing the state's most successful program, the Mercer Island Islanders, by just three points.
The Lumberjacks' battle certainly had echoes of "Hoosiers."
This wasn't quite "Hoosiers," but there were elements of that movie's David-Goliath finale. Mercer Island is a much larger high school than R.A. Long, and it has been to the state tournament 11 times in the past 14 years and 21 times total. It has won the title four times, beginning in 1985 when Quin Snyder was the team's leader.
R.A. Long, meanwhile, hadn't reached the state tournament since 1977. In an era when high school tournaments keep expanding to so many classes that the trophies resemble Angelie Jolie's bra size (the 2003 Class 38DDDDDD state champions!), my old school in Longview somehow went 26 years between state appearances.
Students graduated, married, had kids, raised them and then watched as they in turn added to the school's drought. If Mercer Island is the Duke of Washington state high school basketball, we were more like the Clippers.
(As were many of the school's other athletic programs. Our football team was so bad my senior year that I felt compelled to write a letter to the high school paper ripping its play, my first effort at sports commentary. I've faced a lot of professional athletes angered by my writing in the years since, but no confrontation was quite so uncomfortable as when a former teammate called me out of class that day and threatened to beat the living crap out of me. Sure, Chuck Knoblauch and I had some nasty moments, but at least we didn't sit next to each other in history class.)
The economic disparity between Mercer Island and Longview is even more striking. Mercer Island (the Seattle suburb named for the inspired man who once upon a time shipped single young women to Seattle to provide wives for the lonely workers) is one of Washington's richest communities, if not the richest. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen lives there, as does seemingly half the roster of every Seattle pro team. Whenever I drive onto the island to play softball, I expect border guards to demand my passport and visa.
Longview, meanwhile, is a town of 30,000 in southwest Washington that could inspire an entire Bruce Springsteen album. Founded by a lumber company that no longer exists, the city has a depressing unemployment rate that isn't getting any better any time soon. The aluminum plant where my father worked for more than three decades and where my brother worked for more than two decades declared bankruptcy Tuesday.
So this was a huge game, a monumental game, and the only one since my graduation, actually, that I gave the slightest damn about.
My high school in the state tournament. With a chance to beat Mercer Island.
One old friend left a message on my cell phone to alert me to the game. Another left a message on my cell phone and my home phone. My brother, John, e-mailed me, repeating the school's old fight slogan: "Give 'em the ax, Jacks, Jacks, give 'em the ax, Jacks, Jacks, give 'em the ax, give 'em the ax, give 'em the ax, Jacks."
(Yes, I know. Lumberjacks. Everyone always laughs when I mention the name. And they laugh harder when I mention the name of the girls team, the Lumber Jills. But the names always seemed perfectly natural coming from a logging town. Besides, it's infinitely superior to the name of another team in the conference: the Camas Papermakers.)
Taking my seat at the Tacoma Dome just before tipoff was like attending a high school reunion, only much better, because there weren't any pathetic drunks in bad suits and worse haircuts hitting on their old flames.
My brother sat to my left. To my right was Dan, my oldest friend (we met walking to kindergarten). Next to him was his brother, Mike, who graduated three years ahead of us. Behind me was Diane, who used to sit across from me in world problems (and whose youngest child, Connor, is now the team's ballboy).
Kyle Fowler could have used some help from Coach Dale.
I'm sure there were other old classmates in the stands as well, but I didn't recognize them, it had been so long since high school. Heck, I didn't even recognize R.A. Long's coach, Kyle Fowler, and we not only went to high school together, we played on the same Little League and Babe Ruth teams for several years. Seeing him in his suit on the sideline, he looked so much ... older. (Surely, I don't look so old.)
Kyle's counterpart was Ed Pepple, who entered the tournament with more victories than anyone in Washington state history (845 by the official count, 846 by his personal count, because he stubbornly counts a controversial loss in the 1981 state final as a victory). Mercer Island plays the most fundamentally sound basketball this side of Hickory High. It may be the last team in America where you can see a perfectly executed chest pass and bounce pass on the same possession. Its very name inspires dread in opponents.
And hate.
Like all rich and successful programs, Mercer Island is very easy to dislike. It's the rival school where all the rich kids go. The local suburban paper nicknamed the team the
Islanders. The student section fancies itself a prep version of the Dukies, chanting such clever things as "Loser's ... Bracket!" at the end of a tournament game. Few fans even bothered showing up for the R.A. Long game, even though it was an easy 40-minute drive to Tacoma. At Mercer Island, the state tournament doesn't really begin until you get to the semifinals.
It was almost unfair to wait 26 years for a state tournament and then draw such an opponent in the first round. On the other hand, beating those bastards would make this first appearance all that much sweeter.
Mercer Island jumped to a quick 6-0 lead and R.A. Long appeared nervous. But the team got over that quickly enough and simply outhustled the much taller Mercer Island players. With Adam Perry leading the way, the Jacks rallied to tie the game at 17-17 after the first quarter and 30-30 at halftime.
I suspect the Mercer Island kids received a good-tongue lashing at halftime, because they came out playing with more intensity. They also began hitting jumper after jumper, while the Lumberjacks fell out of their offense and turned over the ball repeatedly. Mercer Island led by seven after three quarters and extended the lead to 12 points with about four minutes left.
"It's not looking good," my brother said.
And then, just like that, the game turned around. A trey, a two-shot technical for vicious elbowing and another basket off the inbounds pass cut the lead to five within a matter of seconds. We were back in it, and I was on my feet hollering for the Lumberjacks to win for the first time since high school.
"Give 'em the ax, Jacks, Jacks, give 'em the ax, Jacks, Jacks, give 'em the ax, give 'em the ax, give 'em the ax, Jacks."
Craig Marshall's trey cut the lead to three points with 48 seconds left, but the Jacks couldn't get over the hump. Mercer Island missed four consecutive foul shots, but R.A. Long couldn't never take advantage. MI's lead grew to six and, as the seconds ticked away, the students began their classy "Loser's ... Bracket!" chant and the defeat became inevitable. A last-second desperation shot would have made no difference in the outcome, but it too fell short.
R.A. Long lost 67-61. We go to the loser's bracket to compete for third place.
"We did what we did all year. We played our tails off and we never gave up," Kyle said after talking to his players. "We're not going home in two games, we're going to come back and win the other bracket. We're going to bring a trophy back to R.A. Long High School."
His voice cracked a bit.
He had accomplished something no coach had done at my school in a quarter century and his team had shown it belonged with the state's best. But like all good coaches, he was as disappointed with the loss as he was proud of his team's performance. He was certain his team could win, and it didn't.
"There was a little bit of that feeling of awe when we got here yesterday and I walked into the gym," he said. "But it went away quickly. We definitely wanted to get to the title game. This team is hurt right now, but we were confident coming in and we're going to play hard tomorrow, too."
Unlike the Nets' win total, Bruce Springsteen's ticket sales is rising.
No doubt, Mercer Island will be back next year. And the year after. And the year after. The bastards.
R.A. Long, meanwhile, graduates eight seniors from its first state team in 26 years. Who knows when the Lumberjacks will return.
The game and the reunion over, we said goodbye, walked out into a brisk wind and headed for home. As my brother headed south to Longview, I pointed my car north and played some Springsteen.
They're closing down the textile mill, across the railroad tracks.
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back.
To your hometown.
Your hometown ...
Your hometown ...
Your hometown ...
Damn, I wanted to beat those guys.

BJ'S BLOG 06/16/14 "Racism and Snowflakes"
by BJ Shea
posted Jun 16 2014 6:40AM
Today's blog comes from one of my mentors, Dan Sanders:
Here's some creative thinking on racism and a story in the podcast about how it works both ways.
I have heard that no two snowflakes are alike, and on some scientific level, "they" seem to have been able to prove that. Snowflakes and snow crystals are made of ice, and pretty much nothing more. A snow crystal, as the name implies, is a single crystal of ice. "Snowflake" is a more general term. It can mean an individual snow crystal or a few snow crystals stuck together or a large agglomeration of snow crystals that form "puff-balls" that float down from the clouds. Snowflakes begin with water vapor in the air, evaporation from oceans, lakes, and rivers and transpiration from plants. Even you, every time you exhale, put water vapor into the air.
I have never heard that no two water droplets are the same, so I would think that would mean that every snowflake starts out the same and then changes as it is formed, falls to the ground, stays for a while, melts, and turns back into water and becomes one with itself again.
Part of the water vapor that started the whole process came from our breaths. I have never heard that no two breaths are alike and they probably are different, but that could lead to this question: is all air the same? Yes, it could go on forever. Let's just say we, like snowflakes, are not the same: different skin colors, different shapes, different thoughts, needs, loves, dreams, and desires.
Maybe that also means that one day when we turn back to dirt, we are all the same again, just like water droplets before snowflakes. They are only different until they melt, meld, and turn back into the water that helped create them.
Snowflakes and people are not the only things that are different, and maybe it's time we learned to love the differences in ourselves and the earth and every living thing on it. In the end we are all really one and are dependent on each other. We are all different until, like snowflakes, we melt into one and eternity.
For more thoughts on this and other things, join me at Rambling Harbor and give a listen.
