After two straight games with subpar offensive performances, the Golden State Warriors put on a show for their home crowd and blew out the Detroit Pistons 113-95. After racing out to an early 35-16 first quarter lead, Golden State never looked back and appeared to be very fluid, as eighteen of the twenty two field goals made before halftime came off of assists.This whole-team approach spread the opposing Pistons thin the entire game, as seven different Warriors finished with at least eight points, and the team ended the game shooting sixty percent from the field.
Point guard Stephen Curry anchored the offensive assault with twenty five points and eight assists, and allowed for the Warriors' frontcourt to stand up to the Pistons' menacing size, as Andrew Bogut, David Lee, and Jermaine O'Neal combined for forty two points, twenty four assists, and a combined field goal percentage of sixty eight percent. However, Golden State's offensive approach was not perfect, as their turnover troubles continued with twenty three.
But that may be the lone identifiable flaw in their return to the Bay, as the Warriors never trailed throughout the entire game, and were quite solid defensively. Offseason splash Josh Smith was held to two points by Andre Iguodala and the rest of the team, and the Pistons weren't able to put together an extended amount of offensive production until the fourth quarter, against Golden State's second unit. The Warriors are now setting their sights on what promises to be a great game against Oklahoma City.

Historic preservation advocacy and outreach
We love old buildings and historic neighborhoods. We work with home-owners, neighborhood organizations and property owners across the city to save places that matter through advocacy, technical assistance and community organizing. These places include parks, public buildings, churches and even private homes.

We Dig Hampstead Hill! Searching for the War of 1812 in Patterson Park
Patterson Park, known as Hampstead Hill in the early 1800s, was the site of Baltimore's major defensive position against a British land invasion in the War of 1812. With funding from the Maryland Heritage Area Authority and the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program, Baltimore Heritage is undertaking an archaeological investigation of Patterson Park in spring 2014. Learn more about this project or about archeology in Baltimore.
Documentation and Designation in West Baltimore
We are working to connect historic preservation and community revitalization in historic West Baltimore neighborhoods, focused around the US 40 corridor, proposed for the development of the Red Line light rail route. One of our major initiatives is the documentation and designation of historic landmarks in Midtown Edmondson and Greater Rosemont. Learn more about preservation in West Baltimore or take a look at our digital publications for the Landmarks on the Red Line.
Advocating for Preservation on Downtown's West Side
From the late 1700s through the 1940s, the West Side grew as a vital center of transportation, commerce, and cultural life. Unfortunately, in the late 20th century retail shopping and investment drifted out to Baltimore's suburbs, many of these businesses closed, and their buildings began to decay from neglect. Baltimore Heritage and our partners are continuing to advocate for the preservation-based revitalization of this historic downtown Baltimore neighborhood. Learn more about this issue.
Organizing the Friends of West Baltimore Squares
The Friends of West Baltimore Squares is a new initiative started in partnership with the Parks & People Foundation and neighborhood organizations in West and Southwest Baltimore to organize support for Franklin Square, Harlem Park, Lafayette Square, Perkins Square and Union Square, through events, outreach and advocacy. Visit the Friends of West Baltimore Squares or our project page to learn more about this project.

... It is a country of mostly unrealized potential. It has natural resources, tourist potential, a location central to a large trade population, an educated workforce which starts learning English early, transportation infrastructure and ports on the Black Sea. But, economically it is still digging itself out of Communism and corrupt mismanagement since gaining a Democratic government in 1989. Grand old buildings constructed early in the twentieth century are in ...

Commemorating Democracy Day
September 15, 2010
Three years ago, the United Nations General Assembly declared September 15th as the International Day of Democracy. The preamble of the resolution affirmed that:
"while democracies share common features, there is no single model of democracy and that democracy does not belong to any country or region...
democracy is a universal value based on the freely-expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems, and their full participation in all aspects of life."

September 15, the International Day of Democracy, gives us an opportunity to reflect on what it means to vote and to partake in our country's political affairs. It is also a good time to remember that for many around the world, the right to vote is hard fought and elusive.

Kitchen faucet recommend for hard water
I am in the market for a new kitchen faucet as I am having granite counter tops installed. The old faucet is just four years old but because of hard water I can hardly move it from side to side.
I want a single neck faucet and a soap despenser.Is there any brand or material that does better with hard water than any other?
Its just incredible to me that my current faucet is nearly siezed up after four years.
Trying to put a bandaid over a gushing artery is never the recommended approach. If your faucet is gunked up after only 4 years, imagine the pipes going to that faucet and your water heater and all of the other components in your home's plumbing systems.
You should look at putting in a water treatment system. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying to repipe the whole home because it's all clogged up with mineral deposits.
From my cities web site:
The hardness levels can change from month to month, but averages 161 mg/L or 7.0-10.5 grains/gal. Calcium and magnesium salts are the minerals in water which are responsible for its hardness
So can somebody recommend a solution?
The first thing you ought to do if you are interested in treating your water is get your water tested by a certified lab. You want to know:
Your city's website may be a good place to start, but realize that some of those numbers can change by the time they get to your house as water picks up contaminants from whatever pipes it sees along the way.
Contact local water treatment companies such as Culligan, Kinetico and there are likely others in your area as well. Sometimes plumbing companies are competent as well. They will send a rep out to do some water testing (not as accurate as a lab) and make recommendations. If you are handy, you can also purchase online and install one yourself or have a local plumber install it.
I can help you ensure you get the proper size, but need to know the list I provided above as well as:
1) Number of people in your home
2) Number of bathrooms
3) Any high-water-use devises such as jacuzzi tubs, multi-head showers, etc.
4) Do you intend to change the number of people in the home within the next couple of years or frequently have overnight guests?
5) If you know how much water you actually use in a month on the inside of your home only (not lawn watering) that would be the most accurate info.
6) The buildup in your faucet - what color is it? Do you see orange staining in sinks/toilets?
Softeners aren't plug and play devices. You have to do a lot of work on your end to get the information you need to do it correctly. Alice is a guru though, and if you can provide the info she asked you for, I'm sure that you can educate yourself enough to either DIY or to at least evaluate the contractors who come out to give you quotes.
Thanks for the replies, I'll have to accumulate the requested info.
Right off the bat I can provide the obvious info:
1. my wife and I
2. 4 1/2
3. 1 jacuzzi tub
4. No not really, just the wife and I and occasionally a guest or two and during the holidays a house full.
5. I accessed my online utilities account and there were some strange numbers for water usage, everything from 9.2 in February to 39.1 in August. Not sure what units. here in Texas obviously we use a LOT of water for the lawn/shrubs.
6. there isnt really a "build-up" per se, just deposits around the faucet making it difficult to swivel. White deposits....so I suppose calcium.
The rest obviously will require testing.
Its proving difficult to find a lab to test my home water and I dont want to call a water treatment business because in my 52 years of life I have found that they are like insurance salesmen, they just never stop.
So how do I find someone to do this?
If you have city water, you can request a copy of the quarterly or annual water report - it should include the analysis you need. You should be aware, however, that water is likely pick up a contaminant or two on it's way to your home. You can ask the city what lab they use for their analysis. If they do their own testing, they may be willing to test yours for a fee. If all else fails, you can find test kits online (Amazon even has a few) - Hach tests are your best bet for good quality. Their accuracy will depend entirely on your ability to perform the tests precisely.
So I went through the EPA http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw/faq/pdfs/fs_homewatertesting.pdf
and discovered a listing of certified facilities, most of which are city treatment plants, but did manage to find one in my area that was on the list as "certified". I called and was told that they could not certify results for anything other than 2 parameters which had to do with bacteria. So I thought a couple of things, firstly, why are they called a certified lab if they cant certify the results of all their tests, and how reliable is a non-certified result?
They said the results would take about 2 weeks and cost about $250.
really?! This is what I need to do?
My water district has the following test results:https://ntmwd.com/downloads/WaterQualityAnalysis/wqa_wylie_2012.pdf
I really need to spend $250 to get my water tested?
Cant I just set up a basic filtration system without knowing the lab results for all these parameters?
I just want to stop the hard water deposits in my system.
Here's the thing, rocks911. Water chemistry isn't simple. Softeners use resin beads to exchanged the calcium and magnesium in your water for sodium or potassium. Resin beads are specialized plastics. They work really well under the right conditions, but if you have the wrong conditions, they won't do much for you and you will have wasted your money.
Softeners will also collect iron and manganese, but only up to a point, and they resin does not like to let go of them during regeneration. Consequently, every ppm (part per million) of iron or manganese needs to be treated as if it were 4 - 5 grains of hardness. That is 68 - 85 times what we need to do to remove 1 ppm of hardness. It's a big deal, and can make a huge difference in correct softener sizing.
Now, I can guess that your iron is exactly what the city report says it is, and assume that the water picks up nothing on its way to your house and size a softener for you and perhaps we will get lucky and you will get the correct softener. What if we're wrong? Then you will have spent money and still have the same problems you have now. You will be unhappy, rightfully so.
Go to your yellow pages and look under water treatment. Find a local water treatment company and have them come out to do some testing for you. Tell them to test for iron. Their test will not be very accurate, and I would not size my personal softener based on it, but it's a cheaper alternative for you. Have several companies come out and make recommendations.
Things to consider:
1) You don't want to water your lawn with softened water - grass doesn't like the extra sodium. You could use potassium chloride for regeneration, but that may be expensive if you are watering a lot in the Summer. It would be better if lawn water is left unsoftened.
2) You want a gravel underbed in your softener to improve resin life and ensure proper flow distribution.
3) You want a quality American made resin - it will be more uniform and last longer. The resin should be 10% cross-linked to withstand chlorine from city water.
4) You want a system that regenerates on demand, not based on time.
5) You want a bypass so that you won't have to shut off water to the entire house if your softener needs to be worked on.
6) You want to read and learn as much as you can before making a water treatment decision because, sadly, there are lots of snake-oils salesmen out there.
There are many threads on this site about the salt-free options. I'll let you read those rather than repeat.
If you hate the taste of soft water, a small RO system (reverse osmosis) will provide clean, clear water. Alternately, you can run an unsoftened line to your sink with a separate faucet just for drinking water. It's purely a matter of taste, unless you have something dangerous in your water.

Tech News & Commentary
Basketball great Shaquille O'Neal has joined Chicago-based software company TIP Solutions as a shareholder and global brand ambassador in another sign that celebrity tie-ups with tech companies remain popular.
The deal comes just weeks after BlackBerry (BBRY) announced that it is parting ways with R&B singer Alicia Keys after a yearlong collaboration. BlackBerry signed Keys in January 2013 as its global creative director, but the partnership failed to help the Canadian company gain ground in the consumer smartphone market.
The many celebrity appearances at the International Consumer Electronics Shows in Las Vegas earlier this month indicated that tech companies are still enamored of celebrity partnerships as a way to draw attention to their products and services. The 2014 CES saw pop star Will.i.am join 3D printer company 3D Systems (DDD) as its "chief creative officer." Also at CES, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson promoted SMS Audio, Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil shilled for Marshall Headphones and TV and radio host Nick Cannon talked up Monster.
View Enlarged Image
TIP Solutions finalized its partnership with Shaq at CES, TIP President Michael Unetich told IBD.
In his new role, O'Neal initially will promote and educate consumers about TIP's downloadable smartphone app, CallSnap. The software allows Android smartphone users to reply to incoming calls with a photo or an instant voice message to explain busy situations to callers. Instead of ignoring incoming calls, smartphone owners can show or tell callers that they're in a meeting, a movie theater, on a plane or in some other place where they can't respond immediately.
CallSnap is one of three call management solutions for mobile phones that TIP has developed, Unetich says.
"You can have the greatest apps in the world, but it can be tough to get the word out there if you don't have somebody that's both credible and has a wide audience," Unetich said. Shaq has a wide reach through his social network connections. "When you have a digital product, the only way to promote it is digitally."
O'Neal likes to invest in tech companies. He was a pre-IPO investor in Google (GOOG) and has taken stakes in a number of startups, according to Entrepreneur and Inc.
"We think he can help us get to where we're trying to go in a fraction of the time," Unetich said. TIP has a multiyear agreement with the 7-foot-1-inch O'Neal.
O'Neal isn't the only NBA star backing TIP. In fact, it was an earlier investor, retired hoops star Tracy McGrady, who first reached out to "the Big Man," Unetich said.

Sam and Erica Weisz were wed in 2009 and haven't looked back. Erica is excited to be teaching elementary school, where her passion is in creative writing and working with English language learners. Apart from practicing dentistry at Libertyville Dental Associates and Dental Salon in Chicago, Sam has tried to stay true to his Jewish roots, studying and attending classes.
Together Sam and Erica have a knack for finding the finest places to dine for under $20. Just ask and they will tell you about their food adventures in Chicago and beyond. Sam and Erica are excited to continue to learn and grow as a couple as they embark on another adventure to Uganda this Spring— in their long line of newlywed experiments.
Our parents counted out eight crisp singles. We are now ready for our trip, but are hoping not to need the eight bucks. Erica and I have officially been hired as mitzvah messengers, shaliach mitzvah, in hopes of returning home safe, in one piece.
The meeting of the minds of Mbale's Jewish ambassadors. First impressions drew us in with the sincerity of the handshake. It's not a wimpy, nice to meet you handshake. We are talking about a genuine excitement, one reflected in a full body handshake leading to many lengthy hugs.
Our first days in Mbale Town were filled with many "meetings." Short-term and long-term dental goals, logistics, and schedules were discussed at length. As decisions were slowly made, we felt more than ready to hit the field running. Be prepared, Africa!
The week was filled with outside dentistry. Our days were spent under the shade of a mango tree, helping the community with much needed dental care.
With each Jewish holiday, we revisit familiar stories, many of which we grew up with since our youth: Queen Esther on Purim, Moses on Passover, Judah and the Maccabees on Chanukah. And every year, we are challenged to find new meaning within the stories, in order to keep them fresh and alive for the next generation.

By James R. Healey, USA TODAY
General Motors filed documents Wednesday asking the Securities and Exchange Commission to approve an initial public offering of shares (IPO), a move that would let taxpayers begin to recoup money spent rescuing the car company a year ago.
The 547-page filing didn't set a share price. Thus, it didn't forecast how much taxpayers will get back of their $50 billion investment as the government begins to sell down the 60.8% U.S. stake in GM— 304 million shares — after the IPO.
GM said the market will set the price of shares.
Francis Gaskins, veteran IPO analyst, predicts, "Taxpayers will take a 50% loss." That's because Gaskins and many other analysts assume investors won't value GM higher than the $42 billion market capitalization of healthier Ford Motor. Ford and GM had about the same first-half revenue, but Ford profit was twice GM's.
Valuing GM even with Ford would make GM's 500 million shares worth about $84 each. But Treasury would need to sell its shares for an average of roughly $167 for taxpayers to be fully repaid.
Investors also will see that among the cautions in the obligatory "risk factors" section of the so-called S-1 GM made the startling acknowledgment that it still can't keep track of its money. Even after accounting fixes in the past year, GM said, "our internal control over financial reporting" is "not effective" and that could "affect our ability to report accurately our financial condition ..."
It also warned that its new CEO, Daniel Akerson, 61, appointed unexpectedly from the GM board just last Thursday, is untested in the auto business.
GM also said it has lost business because of "a negative public perception of our products," and it can't guarantee it will be able to change that.
The filing also did not specify how many shares would be offered and by which equity holders. Canadian governments, which aided the bailout, and a United Auto Workers retiree trust also took stakes as part of GM's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization.
In a statement, the U.S. Treasury said it will decide later "whether and at what level to participate in the offering."
The IPO also will include newly issued preferred shares separate from the stakeholders' common shares. Money from their sale will go to GM. Preferreds have first claim on company assets and dividends and can be converted into common shares.
Including preferred shares in an IPO is "definitely unusual," says Ryan Caione, IPO expert at Hoover's business information company.
Gaskins says they could undercut the price of less-appealing common shares, which GM says won't pay dividends.
The SEC normally acts on an IPO filing in about two months, Caione says. GM said its stock would be listed on the New York and Toronto exchanges. On the NYSE it will use the GM ticker symbol.
On its website, GM says, "... none of the publicly owned stocks or bonds issued by the former General Motors Corporation (now renamed "Motors Liquidation Company"), including its common stock currently traded on the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol "MTLQQ", are or will become securities of General Motors Company, which is an independent separate company."

Doolittle Doesn't Want To Talk To Stuck Alligator
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene with a tale of mistaken identity. A Michigan man was mowing his lawn when he saw what looked like a tail moving. It belonged to an alligator stuck in the window well of his house. An animal rescue employee finally helped out. But for a while, authorities didn't believe the man's story because of his name - Terry Doolittle. Not unlike Dr. Doolittle, that fictional character who speaks to animals. No relation, but they thought he was just being funny. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
