For years, chatter about the possibility of offshore wind power in
The chatter persists for good reason.
But perhaps most important, the sea floor drops off relatively slowly from the North Carolina coast, leaving large stretches of water 98 feet deep or shallower. That depth is ideal for wind farms, said Brian O'Hara, president of the Southeastern Coastal Wind Coalition.
"We have a very good shallow-water resource," he said. "It's easily the best on the East Coast."
On the horizon
Currently, there are three areas approved for development off the
During an exploratory call for information and nominations, five companies expressed interest in developing wind installations in
The possibility of renewable, offshore energy is largely a positive for the state. But because there are no offshore wind turbines anywhere in the
What will we see?
If construction began in the southernmost parcels as they're outlined currently, the resulting wind installations would be most visible from
Typically, that worry is rooted in the impression that large installments of tall, white wind turbines would be placed within spitting distance of the shore, ruining the beach experience for tourists. In reality, any wind farms in
"Prudent developers are not going to be proposing putting turbines that close to the beach," O'Hara said. Even if they wanted to, developers wouldn't be permitted to place wind turbines that close to land in
"At 10 miles and more offshore, the turbines appear very small on the horizon," O'Hara said. "They may not be visible at all on many hazy summer days."
But for residents of other coastal areas, the turbines could be a little close for comfort. The western-most parcel of water – Wilmington West – is just seven miles offshore at its closest point.
At that distance, denizens of several communities, including
"I don't think people are aware of how close it potentially could be to
Modeling the view
According to computer models, visibility from
"It would depend on how much I was seeing," said Scott, whose home has a clear view of the water. "Looking at pictures from different distances, would I mind something far in the distance that, on most days, you wouldn't even notice? Probably not. But if it was something I was going to really notice most of the time, and that's what I was staring at when I looked out at the ocean, it would give me pause."
Though the parcels have been outlined and approved by Ocean Energy Management, there's no guarantee they'll be developed as is. Stakeholder input is an important part of that process, said Zachary Keith, associate organizer for the N.C. Sierra Club.
"Aesthetic concerns are very much taken into account when BOEM does their work. If a majority of people and town councils say that it's an issue, they probably won't develop those closer lease blocks," he said. "It's something we definitely highlight."
In addition to distance, visibility hinges largely on atmospheric conditions. According to the Ocean Energy Management models, a wind farm 10 nautical miles offshore would have limited visibility from shore on all but the clearest of days. Those conditions are rare in
That's important for tourists, who named both visibility and the distance of the turbines from the beach as key factors in planning for outings, according to a 2008 study conducted by researchers with the
Too close for comfort
"We do find that as the turbines get closer to shore, a certain percentage of people state that they would go to a different beach," said Jeremy Firestone, professor of marine policy and director of the Center for Carbon-free Power Integration at the University of Delaware. "At six miles, there's a lot more uncertainty as to what would happen with tourists."
At that distance, roughly 18 percent of survey respondents said they'd head to another beach. But those tourists would still be lounging on a beach in
"At six miles, there's a noticeable factor," Firestone said. "But it drops off quite quickly."
Additionally, more than 65 percent of those surveyed said they'd be likely to specifically seek out a beach with a view of a wind farm.
"A fairly large percentage said they would go to a beach they don't usually go to, at least once, just to see a wind project," Firestone said.
Boost for fish?
Offshore installations could potentially have a similar effect on the recreational fishing industry. The turbines could provide habitat for several threatened species of fish, boosting their fledgling population numbers and allowing charter companies to ferry higher numbers of tourists on offshore excursions.
"The base of the wind turbine that goes into the sea floor has, placed around it, something that engineers call a scour apron," said Pete Peterson, professor of marine sciences, biology and ecology at the
The snapper-grouper complex is a blanket name for dozens of species of fish throughout the
Those regulations have long frustrated commercial – and, to a lesser extent, recreational – fishermen, who have seen population numbers of certain species rebound without having the restrictions lifted.
Peterson said many fishermen will grudgingly admit they're seeing more and bigger fish now, but they're annoyed that the restrictions continue.
If the scour aprons can effectively mimic the rocky-reef habitat favored by many of those fish, it could change things. ease that burden.
"Everybody manages these fish by managing an amount of good habitat, so the logical jump the fishermen take is that this can only help in the sense of growing more habitat, and thus more fish of the sort that are depleted," Peterson said. "That could ease restrictions on fishing and give us more fish."
It could also give both recreational and commercial fishermen new places to drop their lines, while charter companies could cull extra business from tourists who are curious to see the turbines themselves.
"For recreational guys, I think it'll be beneficial for the boats that can actually reach a reef. Customers would really like that," said Capt. Trevor Smith, owner of ProFishNC Charters in
Access question remains
Local commercial fishermen remain largely non-committal, saying the turbines sound like a potential boon for the industry but could also have negative effects, depending on the regulations that govern their usage.
"I'm not for it, and I'm not against it," said Adam Donathan, a commercial fisherman based in Myrtle Grove Sound. "If it would just be a reef I can fish, I'm all for it, but it could be a negative thing or a positive one."
Much of that uncertainty hinges on the lack of information regarding restrictions around the turbines. It's unclear, for example, if boats would be allowed close to the installations, or if fishing would be permitted around the reeflike structures on the bottom. Because there are no offshore wind installations in the
"We don't have a single one of these things standing anywhere in this country, so we're still waiting for the test case. A lot of the issues that apply here apply to oil platforms in the Gulf, so that's our best guess," Peterson said. "Those don't have restrictions for fishermen, but we can't get a definite answer to that yet."
It could be nearly a decade before officials have answers. Experts have estimated that it could take more than a year for leases to be officially issued, and more regulatory steps, including an environmental impact assessment, have to be completed before construction can begin. Still, for environmental activists who have spent years advocating for offshore wind, having even a vague timeline on the horizon is a victory.
"It's not a question of 'if' development will happen," O'Hara said, "but rather when and where it will happen."

The Swivl is a camera/phone mount that lets you actually do things while recording yourself. It rotates the camera to follow you wherever you go. Now you can move around without getting somebody else to record you.
Who wants a Swivl?
The Swivl is ideal for vlogging, FaceTime, and Google+ hangouts.
How does it work?
The mount follows a sensor that you put in your pocket, on your clothes, or in your hand. The mount rotates up to 180 degrees and can track the sensor when it's within 10 meters.
For the most part, the tracking looks great, but it may be a bit jerky when motion stops or changes directions. $159 is an amazing deal, especially for heavy-duty vlogging and chatting, but don't expect it to replace a Hollywood cinematographer.
What cameras are compatible with the Swivl?
The iPhone 4S and "select iOS devices"
Any tripod-mountable pocket cam or smartphone
Doesn't work with DSLRs. They're too big
When can you get one?
The Swivl ships early 2012, starting in North America. You can pre-order now for $159.
The story behind Swivl
The Swivl is made by Satarii, which aims to create "novel user interfaces for video products." However, the Swivl is currently Satarii's only product. It was crowd-funded on indiegogo, an alternative to kickstarter. Here's one of their earlier demo videos:
So what does Satarii mean? Well, the latin word "satari" comes from the word saltare, which means to jump or dance. The name applies well. Will you be jumping around in front of a Swivl in 2012?

Final Score: San Diego State 42, Army 7
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The San Diego State Aztecs posted four rushing touchdowns as the team beat the Army Black Knights at their own game with a 42-7 victory in non-conference play at Qualcomm Stadium.
Adam Muema carried the ball 15 times and finished with 98 yards and a score for the Aztecs (1-1), while Walter Kazee accounted for 51 yards and two TDs on seven carries for the hosts. Quarterback Ryan Katz hit 14-of-21 passing for 215 yards and a TD as well.
The Black Knights (0-1) were paced by Raymond Maples who accounted for a game- high 107 yards rushing on 19 attempts, followed by Terry Baggett with an even 100 yards and the only score of the night on one of his 13 carries. Trent Steelman converted 3-of-8 passing for just 50 yards and was picked off twice.
In the first quarter both Kazee and Adam Dingwell reached the end zone for the Aztecs on runs of four and seven yards, respectively, to give the hosts a 14-0 advantage.
With 8:10 remaining in the first half, Kazee and the SDSU offense struck again as the running back streaked down the right sideline en route to a 22-yard TD to make the score 21-0.
An awkward lob pass by Steelman was picked off by Eric Pinkins with 1:22 remaining before the break and brought back to the Army 45, giving the Aztecs plenty of time to go on the attack once again. Unfortunately, the offense sputtered and was forced to attempt a 40-yard field goal which missed to the right with, leaving SDSU with a three-touchdown advantage at the break.
In the third quarter the Aztecs picked up where they left off, mounting another scoring drive that was capped by a one-yard TD surge by Muema to push the lead to 28-0.
On the ensuing possession by Army, Steelman threw into heavy coverage and was intercepted by Josh Gavert who returned the ball to the 33-yard line for the hosts.
On the first play from scrimmage Katz hooked up with Ezell Ruffin for a 25- yard pass to the eight-yard line. Katz then tossed a ball out to the right side to Chad Young who easily slipped into the end zone.
The Black Knights finally got on the board on their next possession thanks to a 10-yard TD run by Baggett, making the score 35-7.
Unfortunately for the visitors, they gave the score right back to San Diego State as Colin Lockett took the ensuing kickoff 96 yards to the end zone to bump the lead back to five touchdowns with just under six minutes to play in the third quarter and that's how the game ended.
Army, the top rushing team in the nation in 2011 with an average of 346.5 ypg, finished the night with a collective 282 yards on the ground. In the meeting between these two squads last season, the Knights rolled up 403 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 77 attempts.

But thanks to the miraculous gift bestowed upon him by the slain witch Myrren, Wyl lives on—though greatly altered and unrecognizable. Only by assuming Morgravia's throne will he be freed from the dark spell that has both cursed and sustained him.
But Wyl's time is running out.

Klinefelter Syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome facts*
Kleinfelter syndrome facts author: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
What is Klinefelter syndrome?
Klinefelter syndrome, also known as the XXY condition, is a term used to describe males who have an extra X chromosome in most of their cells. Instead of having the usual XY chromosome pattern that most males have, these men have an XXY pattern. Klinefelter syndrome is named after Dr. Henry Klinefelter, who first described a group of symptoms found in some men with the extra X chromosome. Even though all men with Klinefelter syndrome have the extra X chromosome, not every XXY male has all of those symptoms.
Because not every male with an XXY pattern has all the symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome, it is common to use the term XXY male to describe these men, or XXY condition to describe the symptoms.
Scientists believe the XXY condition is one of the most common chromosome abnormalities in humans. About one of every 500 males has an extra X chromosome, but many don't have any symptoms.

Librans thoroughly appreciate money and what it can buy: the best that life has to offer. Fortunately, there is usually enough cash around to keep the Scales in the style to which they've become accustomed. It's comfort and luxury which the Scales crave, and they also feel it's their divine right! No need to eat hamburger when you can dine on filet mignon. The Scales also like to be romanced, so prospective partners are well advised to keep that platinum card handy.
Making the financial decisions is something that the Scales would rather not do as they consider it a bit tedious. Those born under this Sign are attractive and charismatic, and as a result, are accustomed to having things come to them rather easily. This could make for a poor work ethic, but then Librans would rather work at creating a beautiful world for those around them!
The Scales will pay the bills on time in one of two ways: by sheer luck or with the aid of a responsible partner. Face it, it's much more fun to be at the symphony! Short on cash? A Libran will charm a pal into a loan. They won't hesitate to make a loan, either, as long as it's to a good risk. If it's their partner that needs the dough, though, they'd part with their last dime.
It's not uncommon for Librans to blow the bank on one exceptional item, be it a work of art or a jaunt on the Concorde. If they choose to do so, however, they will have saved up for the splurge since life is perfect when that bankbook is in balance!

I just read Letter to a Christian Nation. Enjoyed it. Had a good chuckle about the discourse on evolution and God's apparent fondness for beetles and viruses.
Sam's motives are unmistakably admirable, but it seems to me a book written similarly about a rose bush would go into great detail about the thorns, how many people they had hurt and how dangerous they could be; then grudgingly and in passing admit that the thorn bush occasionally has a rose; then declare that all thorn bushes should be eliminated because we could still have flowers without them.
Regarding God's omniscience and omnipotence, please consider that if one does not limit oneself to thinking things must be fair within each short human life, the holistic potentialities of eternal life begin to make sense. It is in our spiritual nature to seek challenges if they don't already exist. Courage comes only as a result of hardship; altruism comes only as a result of social inequality; loyalty is only possible in the face of betrayal.
In his quest to free humanity from spiritual bondage, Sam does not distinguish between beliefs and faith. I understand them to be different. Belief (doctrine) is a form of spiritual bondage, while faith is expanding and releasing. Belief fixates, faith liberates. Beliefs separate us, faith unites us. Doctrine is man made, faith is Godly. I agree that too many religionists and non-religionists equate unquestioned, unreasonable doctrine with faith. Real religion—true faith—exists on a much higher level; it is much more than a series of beliefs, it is a manner of being, a way of living, independent of doctrine. And it welcomes being challenged, knowing that challenge is simply a method of determining what is true.
It is, after all, not what one knows which determines one's actions, it is one's faith. "Human things must be known in order to be loved; divine things must be loved in order to be known." There are some things which can only be known through faith—real faith, not just beliefs. I detect from Sam's earnest desire to help humanity that he senses some of that.
I think we can agree all things are evolutionary; so is religion. Because traditional organized religion has not kept pace with the rest of society and has become untenable is no reason to reject religion in its entirety. The real challenge should be to recognize divisive doctrine as the evolutionary stage it represents and celebrate the commonality of spirituality shared by all people.
Sam states on page 90 that there is "nothing more natural than rape", claiming that it, like religion, was at one time necessary and now is not needed. Please consider that religion compares more completely to sex in general; it has always been with us, it will always be with us; to some it is a casual social thing; to some it is a means to an end; to others it is a completing part of a deeply committed relationship; some choose not to participate. Rape compares only to the fear-based pseudo "religion" of fundamentalist extremism.
Sam argues prudently on page 27 that abstinence cannot be the complete solution in regards to sex, why then would he think abstinence from faith would work?

This potato salad is probably not what many of us would think of when a potato salad makes its appearance on the dinner table. Often we envision Mom's famous potato salad with eggs, mayonnaise and paprika, perhaps, and some green onion. Don't get me wrong — I loved my Mom's classic potato salad and it was always a favorite of mine. Potato salads can however be dressed up further and this one might even be considered a sort of sweet potato and white potato hash with peas and spices. Tangy, spicy and slightly sweet, this dish is a welcome surprise with a variety of textures in each bite — I am quite content to grace it with a salad label. It's vegan friendly too.
I was inspired to make it after Jac called out for potato salads for this month's No Crouton's Required challenge and because after eating lots and lots of soups over the winter months, I wanted a nice winter salad, because potato salads are not just for outdoor picnics. I'm also sharing this with Ricki's Wellness Weekend.
Serve this one warm or chilled.

Bryce Lawrence says he won't officiate in South Africa next season if his personal safety is under threat.
Since Lawrence's controversial performance in the Wallabies' 11-9 quarter-final win over the Springboks at the World Cup, the Kiwi referee has been critcized for his handling of the breakdown by South African players, fans and media.
Retired Springbok captain John Smit said: 'The one positive of retirement is that I won't ever have to be reffed by him again'. Even Saru manager of referees Andre Watson slammed Lawrence's performance, saying the New Zealander won't officiate at a future World Cup as he would be severely admonished by the IRB.
A Facebook campaign titled 'Petition To Stop Bryce Lawrence Ever Reffing A Rugby Game Again' set up a platform for public abuse to be directed at Lawrence, while 94.7 Highveld Stereo radio station's Darren 'Whackhead' Simpson has claimed to have prank called him in the middle of the night.
Speaking to Tony Veitch on Radiosport, Lawrence said he is aware of the threat of refereeing in South Africa during Super Rugby next year.
'I'm not totally concerned. I know a lot of other people like the New Zealand Rugby Union and SANZAR do have some serious concerns,' Lawrence said. 'In all honesty, I'm not going to go over there if there's any personal threat or I have concerns about my safety because in the end it's a job. I know that, and also it's just a sport so I'm not going to put myself at risk.'
'I refereed the [Super Rugby] final last year,' he continued. 'I've refereed a lot of play-off games so that level is something I'm more than capable of refereeing. I'll referee South African teams in Super Rugby, it may be in Australia or New Zealand that I referee them and I'm sure the criticism will resurface every time I do referee them.'
Lawrence admitted that he always thinks back to his performance in the Wallabies/Bok quarter-final fixture.
'It hasn't been the greatest four or six weeks of my life…in all honesty there isn't a day goes by even now that I don't think about what I could have done better and how it's affecting me and what it means for me going forward. It's still very fresh and probably pretty raw really,' he said.
'I was disappointed with some aspects in my own performance that day after refereeing four really pretty strong games in pool play. I'm not blaming anyone for the quarterfinal refereeing display apart from myself. I didn't referee as well as I could.
'I was pretty relaxed going into that game, and Australia/South Africa I have refereed numerous times in the last few years at Tri-Nations level so the game didn't scare me or concern me. I just think I went away from what I'm best at. I'm best when I'm pretty decisive and reasonably technical and tactical – and I just went too much down the tactical side of things where I was really trying to minimise making technical errors.
'I got criticised heavily and some of that I accept because I know I could have done better.'
Lawrence added that he has been punished by being left out of the Six Nations.
'Look, there have been some pretty clear consequences from my quarterfinal display. I'm not going to be refereeing Six Nations next year, they can say that means I'm rested but in reality I accept that one of the consequences of my performance is that I'm not going to be doing Six Nations.
'That's disappointing from a personal level but also something that I probably support. Referees often get criticised and not held accountable – well I'm clearly being held accountable I'm not refereeing Six Nations.'
Meanwhile, Sanzar CEO Greg Peters told Eyewitness News they have not expressed any concerns regarding Lawrence's safety in South Africa. Peters explained that he consulted their legal advisors and said the Lawrence safety saga has not been discussed within Sanzar.

Search Health Information
Rhinitis is a reaction that occurs in the nose when airborne irritants (allergens) trigger the release of histamine. Histamine causes inflammation and fluid production in the fragile linings of nasal passages, sinuses, and eyelids.
There is usually a family history of allergic rhinitis.
The two categories of allergic rhinitis include:
The most common causes of allergic rhinitis include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of allergic rhinitis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Children with perennial allergic rhinitis may also have the following:
The symptoms of allergic rhinitis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Typically, the diagnosis is made by your child's physician based on a thorough medical history and physical examination. In addition to the above symptoms, your child's physician may find, upon physical examination, dark circles under the eyes, creases under the eyes, and swollen tissue inside the nose.
Specific treatment for allergic rhinitis will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment options may include:
If your child does not respond to avoidance or to the above medications, your child's allergist then may recommend allergy shots or immunotherapy based on the findings. Immunotherapy usually involves a three- to five-year course of repeated injections of specific allergens to decrease the reaction to these allergens when your child comes into contact with them. Consult your child's physician for more information.
Preventive measures for avoiding allergic rhinitis include:
Controlling asthma may mean controlling allergic rhinitis in some patients, according to allergy and asthma experts. The majority of asthma patients have rhinitis, and patients with rhinitis have a much higher prevalence of asthma than those who do not have rhinitis.
Guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) recognize the link between allergic rhinitis and asthma. Although the link is not fully understood, one theory asserts that rhinitis makes it difficult to breathe through the nose, which hampers the normal function of the nose. Breathing through the mouth does not warm the air, or filter or humidify it before it enters the lungs, which can make asthma worse.

Associated Press
TOLEDO — Several tea party groups in Ohio say they'll work to stop the state from expanding Medicaid coverage for low-income residents, arguing it will be too costly and won't reduce high health care costs down the road.
Leaders of two dozen tea party organizations sent a letter to Republican Gov. John Kasich telling him that they're against his Medicaid proposal.
"There is no such thing as 'free money,' and borrowing taxpayer dollars to pay for an expanded entitlement program does not solve the long term problem of affordable health care," said Marianne Gasiecki, a co-leader of the Tea Party Patriots in Ohio.
Their stance isn't a surprise since most conservative groups oppose President Barack Obama's health care law, which makes Medicaid expansion a key part of the plan.
State lawmakers, who must approve the expansion, are hearing details about the plan included in Kasich's two-year budget proposal.
The director of Ohio's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services told the House finance committee on Tuesday that expanding Medicaid would reduce wait times for counseling and other services and save the state money.
Tracy Plouck, director of the department, said many Ohio residents who receive mental health and addiction treatment paid for by the state and local governments would be eligible for those services through Medicaid if the expansion is approved.
"Once these newly eligible Ohioans are enrolled, Medicaid coverage for clinical services will free up statewide an estimated $70 million annually in county levy and state subsidy dollars," she said.
The governor has said that expansion will allow the state to get back Ohio residents' tax dollars from the federal government, which would pay the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years.
The state would see $13 billion from the federal government over the next seven years to cover those newly eligible for Medicaid, according to the Kasich administration. Roughly 366,000 Ohio residents would be eligible for coverage under the expansion beginning in 2014.
But many Republicans are leery of the new federal health care law and its cost.

The New Bern Bears had Ashley on the ropes in the seventh inning – they just couldn't land the haymaker in a 4-2 loss.
Trailing 4-1, and down to their final three outs, New Bern was seemingly on its way to one of those magical nights that were so plentiful a season ago.
Ashley pitchers Eric Eason and Matt Davis combined to walk four straight New Bern hitters to begin the final stanza.
The Bears had the bases loaded and none out with their 4-5-6 hitters coming up.
Chandler Seagle struck out looking at a close pitch, Syril Smith went down swinging and Trent Wynn popped up to first to end the threat, and consequentially, the game.
Ashley got all four of its runs in the fourth inning off of two New Bern errors that led to two RBI singles by the Eagles.
"The error at third let the floodgates open for them and they got four runs on us. All you can do as a coach is put the players in position, they have to make the plays," New Bern coach Gary Smith said.
"We could not have had a worse ending to this game. To have four guys start the inning with walks, then have the 4-5-6 hitters up and nobody get the ball in play is very frustrating."
Bailey Jones started on the mound for the Bears, and pitched well, allowing just four hits and one walk.
"I thought Bailey pitched pretty well, he deserved a lot better than he got, I can say that," Smith said.
Baserunning blunders reared their ugly heads again for the Bears, as two runners were picked off at first base by Ashley pitching.
Davis Cook led the New Bern offense, going 1-for-2 and scoring two runs.
Colin Schmid was 1-for-3 with an RBI single, while Josh Taylor picked up the other RBI with a bases-loaded walk.
New Bern falls to 14-8 overall for the season and 3-5 in the Mideastern Conference.
"We're still in position to make the playoffs with this loss and we don't like to talk about "must wins" but in reality, we probably have to win at least one of these last two against Laney and Rose," Smith said.
New Bern's regular season will conclude with a trip to Laney on Tuesday, then on senior night Thursday versus Rose.

text: EAST JAVA, INDONESIA. This photo taken on October 5, 2011 shows an Indonesian miner carrying a block of sulfur before carrying them from the bottom of the crater of Indonesia's active Kawah Ijen volcano, in the east of Java island. Some 350 sulfur miners eke out a dangerous and exhausting living on the active volcano, carrying hauls of up to 80 kilos of sulfur which will be bought by local factories and used to refine sugar or make matches and medicines. The miners extract the liquid sulfur as it flows out of hot iron pipes. The sulfur is then loaded into wicker baskets at either end of bamboo yokes and carried back over the lip of the crater and down the side of the volcano, a treacherous journey of four kilometres (2.5 miles).

ESPN wrote:Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson said Thursday that he was surprised LeBron James complained the previous night about hard fouls committed during the Bulls' 101-97 victory that snapped the Miami Heat's win streak at 27.
"I think he's too good of a player to do that," Gibson said on "The Carmen & Jurko Show" on ESPN 1000.
"You just play, two teams really going out there and play hard, going to the basket extremely hard and physical."
James mentioned fouls by Gibson and Kirk Hinrich as not being "basketball plays." Neither was called for a flagrant. James said Gibson collared him on a drive to the basket with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't try to collar him," Gibson said. "I just fouled him. It wasn't intentionally.
"I just tried to make a play on the ball, but I fouled him. When he fell, it looked like I collared him. I was really trying to grab him, just not hold him up. Nobody was intentionally trying to hurt anybody out there. When he said those comments, I was really shocked. But it's part of the game, I guess."
"Carlos was getting hit the same way all night," Gibson said. "We have to guard them and do our jobs. Me and Kirk, what he said about us, it was crazy. Kirk wrapped him up, first off. He was trying to make a play on the ball. He wrapped him up to not try to hurt him intentionally, so he won't get an easy layup. He's a dominant player. You just try to slow him down. We're not trying to intentionally hurt him."
ESPN wrote:Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, speaking on WEEI Radio on Thursday, disagreed.
"I think the referees got the calls right. I don't think it was a hard foul," Ainge said. "I think the one involving LeBron against Carlos Boozer [in which LeBron lowered his shoulder into the Bulls' forward 10 seconds after Gibson's foul), that was flagrant. I think the officials got it right.
"I think that it's almost embarrassing that LeBron would complain about officiating."
Well, Pat Riley just added a little more fuel to the Heat-Celtics rivalry that simply won't die.
After Celtics GM Danny Ainge recently called LeBron James' complaints about the hard fouls he takes "almost embarrassing," the Heat President fired back with both barrels in a pre-game statement delivered to the Heat media by a representative, saying:
"Danny Ainge needs to STFU and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing. I know because I coached against him."
Yes, that is an accurate quote, STFU and all, delivered to a huddle of media members with their jaws firmly on the floor. My two big takeaways from this:
1) Pat Riley is certainly willing to stick up for his players, and clearly is at the stage of his career where he's willing to say whatever is on his mind.
2) If the Celtics manage to fall down to the 8th seed, a Celtics-Heat playoff series would be about as interesting as a #1-#8 matchup can get.
UPDATE: In the time it took me to write this post, Ainge has already responded. Via Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, here's Ainge's reply to Riley's statement:
"We're both right. LeBron should stop complaining and I should manage my own team."

puffyusaf#2 wrote:^Thanks. That is still crazy that a player at his skill level has dropped a 60. He isn't a true gunner like Kobe is so I guess it makes sense even if a little shocking.
therealdeal wrote:Obviously he's a different player, but I seem to recall that back when Kobe put on the show in Madison Square Garden everyone KNEW LeBron was going to best him somehow. And LeBron ended up going for a triple double instead because he couldn't score like Kobe.
It's a different year and a different time now, but the fact remains that LeBron doesn't have the scoring mentality to do those things. He doesn't have the same "I don't give a f***" mentality that you need to be a scorer.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just what we needed
These programs were perfect for us. Just the right amount of space, and we were able to customize them with our wedding colors down to the exact custom shade. My only issue was that the spacing on the right on the inside should have larger margins. It came out looking a little crowded to the edges. You should be able to correct this by watching your spacing when you input your text though. Also, just be aware that they come unfolded, so it adds a quick extra task to your wedding list. I found them a little bit on the pricey side, but they came out beautifully, and were very prompt in delivery.
Good Menu - Decent Price
Our wedding menu came out very nice. They were delivered within a week!!! Nice job. I ordered a sample first with the "just one" deal and it came folded, then I ordered 150 more, they came unfolded. But they did put the credit of the "just one" order toward my larger order. Overall, good product and fast turn around. Just watch out you may have to fold your own Programs!
Excellent design!
I would recommend MagnetStreet to ANYONE who wants quality products and excellent customer service. I ordered my wedding programs very late and needed rush production and delivery. Not only did they answer all of my questions and call me personally to verify things, but my order was on my doorstep 3 business days EARLIER than I had expected. And the product was beautiful! It was classy and simply- exactly what I wanted. Wonderful company and I will be using them again in the future.
great programs...good size and lots of colors to choose from.
Beautiful Programs! I made about 6 rounds of changes and the reps at Magnet Street were incredibly helpful. I changed the initial colors to green, white, and a little gray. A good tip is to call and speak to a rep before you order; you can do your order but hold off processing until you get a PDF that you can print out true to size and review. Highly recommended!

Now, how to pay for STEM
The "yes-and" question is whether Olympia lawmakers will pony up to boost higher-ed's capacity and prepare K-12 students for a brave new science and math curriculum.
Northwesterners have heard the rallying cry before, at least on the federal level. The National Defense Education Act of 1958 was in response to the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957. It boosted federal funding for engineering as well foreign language and area-studies programs. While the Soviets weren't ahead of the United States (shhh), Sputnik galvanized lawmakers to give the United States a competitive advantage, cementing American research universities as the best in the world.
STEM is a different animal, but the urgency is equally intense. Last week, the Washington Roundtable (a group of business heavy hitters) and the Boston Consulting Group issued a report, "Great Jobs within Our Reach" that adds statistical heft to the message. The report underscores the dearth of in-state workers sufficiently skilled to fill open jobs. Northwesterners grow cranky over foreign engineers and techies who flock to Microsoft and Boeing, but they're filling a demand that can't be met by local grads. The stats are sobering, just the potential windfall provides hope.
If Washington fills the skills gap, there could be 110,000 new, cross-sector jobs by 2017, the report states. Statewide, there are 25,000 positions that have gone unfilled for 3 months or more because of the lack of qualified applicants. Eighty percent of the jobs are in STEM, health care or computer science. The gap will swell by 5,000 jobs per year, hitting 50,000 four years from now. Filling these slots will translate into $720 million in annual state-tax revenues and $80 million in local taxes. For every job created, $5,000 in state and local revenue will be generated.
"The research clearly shows that jobs have already left Washington because employers couldn't find qualified candidates here," The Boston group's Joel Janda said. "We can only assume that more will leave if the job skills gap isn't addressed." The recommendations are straightforward and include bolstering capacity for engineering, health care and engineering degrees and kindling interest in STEM among K-12 students.
The only question mark -- and it's a biggie -- is how Washington pays for it. Differential tuition (math majors shell out more than English majors) is one approach. For K-12, it means new revenues. Closing outdated tax loopholes and weighing a capital gains tax are the best strategy for a state repelled by income-tax chatter. If Republicans and Democrats agree on the ends, they should be able to find consensus on the means.
