That India is a significant force on the Asian golfing scene is a given, but that is not manifesting itself at higher planes. True, Jeev Milkha Singh has won more than once on European soil — in fact three — but the others have not been able to make the transition from being stalwarts in the continent to be being potent forces on the global stage.
Playing regularly at the Majors or figuring in the top-50 of the world rankings are two distinctly measureable ways of judging golfing strength. Alas, Jeev alone make the cut in that aspect. Jeev has figured in about a dozen Majors, including being the only one to tee up at the haloed Augusta National Club, and is thus far the only Indian to have a ranking inside top-50 at any time.
A talented bunch led by Shiv Kapur, no longer the youngster he was when he won the Asian Games gold medal in 2002 or the Volvo Masters in his Rookie Year on the pro Tour in 2005, has been making noises, but not loud enough to be heard in the right places. He has kept his place fairly on the European Tour — he did dip once and fall into the lower Challenge Tour for a season, but rose back to the main Tour with two wins — but has been unable to find that breakthrough win on higher Tours.
Two young golfers, teammates from their junior days, Anirban Lahiri and Gaganjeet Bhullar, have done well to be noticed in the higher echelons. Yet, Bhullar who won five times in Asia, moved into the European Tour ranks, but has done little since. Lahiri has notched four wins in Asia and of late reached as high as 61st in World Rankings and got a call-up for Majors, too. But he, too, is yet to achieve the break through in the manner that would define him as a noteworthy star at the global level.
Then there is a bunch of other stars, young, not-so-young, old and not-so-old, who are all making a decent living at domestic PGTI (Professional Golf Tour of India) and the Asian Tours, but much more is expected of them if they have to be qualified as successful professionals at higher levels. These would includes seasoned SSP Chowrasia and Rahil Gangjee; fairly experienced Chiragh Kumar and Himmat Rai; youngsters Rashid Khan, who logged his first Asian Tour win this year, S Chikkrangappa and Khalin Joshi among others.
Of course, the 'Big Three' Jeev (42), Jyoti Randhawa (42) and Arjun Atwal (41) who have been around for a fair bit of time, were the ones who made professional golf in India cool and the 'to-go' sport in recent times.
While there are little by the way of public facilities like public driving ranges and courses that are open to walk-in golfers – some do allow on payment of Guest Fee – there are more Championship courses coming up than ever before. Till a decade ago, only the legendary Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman had lent their signature to designer courses other than five-time Open winner Peter Thomson who designed or re-designed a few others. But now the number of designer and Championships courses is close to 40 and counting.
Paradoxically even as the sport has thrown up a reasonable amount of professional talent, at least in Asia, there is a disturbing trend as new tournaments are becoming rare and old tournaments are disappearing.
But Corporate golf, usually held over one or two days, is mushrooming. These events feature weekend golfers who may also be prominent members of the business community. But only a few of them sponsor amateur or pro golf tournaments and the rest are there just for personal reasons. So top amateur and professionals have fewer opportunities.
Corporate events are good for business, but it does little to throw up talent in either amateur or pro golf – for that to happen there must more proper tournaments and truncated golf jamborees.
That apart a number of international events on the Indian scene have disappeared. And that has been the case on the domestic professional circuit, too. Till a few years ago, India hosted no less than five international events (Kensville Open on European Challenge Tour; SAIL Open, Panasonic Open and Indian Open on Asian Tour and the Avantha Masters on European Tour), besides the one-off Johnnie Walker Classic and the Emaar-MGF Indian Masters.
But in 2014, neither Kensville nor Avantha was held. The Panasonic Open has moved from April to November and the Indian Open will not be held in the calendar year, 2014. A tragedy indeed after 50 unbroken years from 1964 to 2013. Hopefully, it will be back in March 2015.
The silver lining amidst all this is that golf will soon be back on the Olympic programme in 2016. If the players were to be chosen today, Indians would make the grade and be among the 64 who shall qualify. Once in the Olympics, there may be more takers for the sport – ask the shooters and wrestlers!

Reduced my LDL
I am a bypass patient from 18 years ago and have followed with Cleveland Clinic Preventive cardio ever since. I am on Crestor and BP meds with fish oil and garlic supplements. LDL stayed at about 80 for years and I started one Cardia 7 per day for two months before bloodwork. LDL went to 60. Later I inadvertently stopped Cardia 7 (forgot to load into my weekly flats which I do for 9 weeks at a time), LDL went back to 80. Started Cardia 7 again and LDL back to 60. IT WORKS FOR ME!
Response: Thanks for the update! Glad it\'s working for you!
Cardia 7 and familial hypercholesterolemia
Amazed! In 12 weeks, CRP normalized in patient with FH. Cardia 7 excelled where statins and traditional therapies, nutritional supplements and even omega-3 did not.
Decrease in inflammation
I started taking Cardia 7 on 3/29/14. I am only taking one capsule a day. Blood tests on 5/27/14 showed that my hs CRP and dropped from 2.46 down to 2.18. I am pleased. I have a few other things that I am watching and I think they are changing for the better, but am waiting to report on those.
Response: Thanks Marilyn. Glad to hear about the progress!
Omega 7
Started taking Omega 7 about 4 months ago, and am very pleased with the results. For the first time my HDL was over 40, almost 50. This has been able to do the trick, even when prescription drugs could not.
Response: We appreciate your feedback!
Recommend Cardia 7
I have been taking cardia7 for almost a year and my total colesterol has already normalized without taking any Mevacor or any others !! My triglicerides, ldl, hdl, vldl are also normal.
I recomment cardia 7 to anyone with this type of problems !!
Response: Thanks for the update Pierre! We appreciate it very much!
At age 78-years old I had a blood test which revealed that I had a 9.9 CRP High Sensitivity level. After only a one-month trial the CRP went down to 5.6. Holy Cow!!! You know what I'm going to do.
Response: Thanks for sharing!
Lower blood pressure and better appetite control
Cardia 7 is great for lowering my BP and I eat less sweets.
Great Product!!

Sarasota Opera Verdi Adventure Part 2: Turandot at La Scala
The Sarasota Opera Visits Verdi began the evening of the second night with a reception in the "Sala Verdi", the suite that was the composer's home in Milan for 30 years and where he died in 1901. When Verdi wasn't using it, his presumptive heirs like Pietro Mascagni could gain access, but when Verdi wanted it, the current occupant was asked to leave so the composer could have its use. In recent years luminaries like Oprah Winfrey have occupied the prized room in the hotel.

I talked to my friend (who is friends with some princesses) and she said that the characters that do wear actual earrings they are truly clip ons. She said it is a big problem with the bigger earrings like Jasmine's because they constantly fall off.
That's so awesome, thanks for the info! (Not that I'd be against piercing my ears for Disney - it's just something I haven't worried about since second grade) I know some princesses (Aurora, Ariel) have long hair that covers the ears, but was wondering if they had to wear them in the parks anyway for the bling factor. I haven't been to the Magic Kingdom in a long time (like waaaay too long).
That's kind of funny about the Jasmine earrings, I'd have assumed they would be on the headband but her tiara/headband is up kind of high now that I'm looking at pics. I'm also a bit suprised none of the fairies wear earrings since their costumes are quite sparkly!
I work in a jewelry vault. There's a swimming pool filled with jewelry and coins, and I pretend I'm Scrooge McDuck every day at lunch. Actually everything after "I work in a jewelry vault" is a lie.
"Sticky Notes From Walt Disney World" http://maposyrup.blogspot.com
Very few characters wear earrings. I know that Aurora and Ariel don't wear earrings. I think if the wig covers the hair, it is pretty much guaranteed that you won't have to wear earrings because they are trouble enough for those that do!
I've been lurking on this thread for quite some time, but I decided I should probably make an account and finally say hello to all of you lovely people- so I did!
Also, when my friend found out that I was going to finally jump in and reply to this, she told me to ask you guys a question for her. She's of Chinese descent and wants to know if Mulan is found at the Disneyland Resort anymore. Also, last time we went to meet Rapunzel, she was asian! Was that casting choice a one time thing or do you think it could happen again? It's a long shot, I know, but we were just wondering.
I can't wait to audition once I'm old enough! I'm 16 right now. I don't really know what characters I would go for if I do the face character auditions, but I don't want to limit myself because I want to audition for a parade performer or a vocalist too Face character-wise, though, I just hope I don't get any taller- I'm currently 5'7" :P

Do you have a picture of Rapunzel? I know in Disney World, Mulan does come out but it's very infrequently. I know she occansionally appears in Princess Fantasy Faire at Disneyland. Silvermist is definitely a viable option, since she does still come out a lot! And you are really tall! I wish you could give a couple of inches to me!
MULAN: Will wonder around near the Warf area of Cal Adventure fairly often (But not everyday). Sadly I have seen her ignored. She will often be at the Princess Fantany Fair when the Fab 3 (Cindy - Belle - Snow White) do the Coronation. And, ocassionally out front at Disneyland (again, not often.)
Silvermist is only at Pixie Hollow.
But I've seen most of the Rapunzels and I've never seen one that looked remotely Asian. I very much doubt that they would hire an Asian girl to play a distinctly white character, as Disneyland is the pickiest about their characters.
As for Mulan, she is often at the Princess Fantasy Faire. Silvermist is also Asian, and is the tallest of the fairies, so they might have them double, I'm not sure.
I was curious about the Asian Rapunzel Sorry, I should have been more specific! Haha. That Rapunzel is beautiful though. On a side note, I thought Vidia was the tallest fairy? Maybe it's just her wig that makes her look ridiculously tall!
I know Vidia goes up to 5'7". I'm not sure about Silvermist. I was so happy when Vidia came out because I look more like her than the other fairies and then I saw the height requirements and was like "not a chance!"
Thanks for clearing up the dress sizes! I'd heard that they runa bit small, I just wasn't sure how small. What exactly is their size range again? Lowest and highest sizes?
---------- Post added 07-01-2011 at 10:27 AM ----------
Hmm. I haven't seen the Rapunzel you're talking about, but I have seen a picture (i don't know when or where it was from though, could have been Disneyland or Disneyworld) of Alice who looked a bit Asian as well. I don't know if it was just her make up or the picture or if she really was though..
---------- Post added 07-01-2011 at 10:32 AM ----------
I know how you feel! Waiting is just terrible! I'm going to be 16 in 5 days ( ) and then there's another TWO YEARS until I can audition! Terrible!
---------- Post added 07-01-2011 at 10:35 AM ----------
Hello! I found this thread while researching face characters and have been reading it for a week or so, and it's been so helpful, and it's still going so I thought I'd say thank you to all those who have contributed because I feel a lot more confident about auditioning now. I'm british, but I hope to audition for face characters in dlr or wdw I'm 5'1.. I might be 5'2 now, I'm not sure.. but I'm destined to be a shortie my whole life as all the females in my family are short! So I'd only have a shot at alice/wendy or a fairy.. I'd love to be alice though.. she's my favourite next to snow white Like many people on here, I've got a few years until I audition (I'm hoping to audition once I finish college, before I go to uni) and I think it's great that so many people, like me, dream of working at disney as a face character! So hi! My name's Maddie... thought I'd introduce myself, haha! Hi Also.. does anyone have the heights for the fairies? Because some sources have said that tinkerbell is 4"10 - 5'2 then the rest of the fairies are quite a bit taller? Sorry if this has been asked before.. I just wondered

The film brings to light little-known nuggets about the young mathematician
Genius and eccentricity often go hand in hand and mathematics wizard Srinivasa Ramanujan best exemplified this.
Now, a biopic will try and unravel the mystique around Ramanujan by presenting him as a man whose genius was not recognised by society.
"The crux of my film is Indian society's failure to handle a genius," said Gnana Rajasekaran, director of the biopic Ramanujan, which will be released both in Tamil and English.
"Eccentricities of a genius are seen as abnormalities and society resorts to corrective measures to purge the person. It seeks to convert him into an average person," said the civil servant-turned-film maker who had earlier made biopics of national poet Subramania Bharathiyar and Dravidar Kazhagam founder E.V. Ramasamy Periyar.
Though an outstanding mathematician, Ramanujan failed in his intermediate examinations and ran away from home. A notice in The Hindu on September 2, 1905, issued by his father announced that the boy was missing.
"This again reiterates my argument that India as a society could not nurture geniuses even from the pre-Vedic period. Despite the fact that he was a Brahmin, a dominant community, Ramanujan's genius was not recognised," said Mr Rajasekaran.
Besides Prof G.H. Hardy, who spotted the talent of Ramanujan and brought him to Cambridge, Kasturi Ranga Iyengar of The Hindu stood by the young mathematician and visited him in England.
"He spent time with Ramanujan and relished the pongal prepared by him. He was among the personalities in Chennai who received Ramanujan after his return from England. It was Kasturi Ranga Iyengar who arranged the cremation of Ramanujan as many of his relatives, upset with his visit to a foreign land, stayed away," said Mr Rajasekaran.
Referring to the novel, 'The Indian Clerk' by David Leavitt, which deals with Ramanujan's life, the film-maker said he consciously avoided details from the book as it captured the mathematician from the eyes of a westerner.
"I want to present Ramanujan from the Indian point of view," said Mr Rajasekaran, while explaining why he filmed a third of the film in England, one portion in Chennai and another in Kumbakonam.
The casting includes 120 English actors and the lead role has been done by Abhinay Vaddi, grandson of late Gemini Ganesan. English actor Kevin McGowan appears as G.H. Hardy; Michael Lieber as Littlewood; Nizhalgal Ravi as Srinivasa Raghava Iyengar, Ramanujan's father; Suhasini Maniratnam as Komalatammal, his mother, and Bhama as his wife Janaki.
"As we are making the film in both the languages, Tamil actors have delivered English dialogues for the English version and English actors Tamil dialogues for the Tamil version. The commitment of English actors in learning Tamil dialogues needs special mention," said Mr Rajasekaran.
The director, who believes in making "honest cinema", said: "There is no need to introduce dance and comedy tracks to retain the interest of the audience."

DiLeva echoed Parisi's comment and said she had been requesting a meeting for months from the supervisor to talk with department heads as board.
"You haven't asked for nothin' stop and tell the truth Nicky, you never have and you never will," said Del Gallo. "You never asked for nothing from me."
Parisi stated DiLeva had asked at public meetings to have the board meet and discuss the budget, but Del Gallo wasn't backing down from his argument.
"You undermined me from the day I came into office, all of you," said Del Gallo. "I will be here for another year and I will do the best I can for the citizens of Rotterdam, without one nickel from them, without any credit for them, I want nothing for it. I'm not looking for my next campaign and votes like you all are, so why don't you just do the job you took on and quit fighting with the administration and work with them and don't work against them."
DiLeva asked if she could answer the supervisor and he said she could, "but it won't be the truth."
"First of all I resent everything that the supervisor has said," stated DiLeva. "Since we have been on this board we have been trying to work with the supervisor."
After failed attempts to try and setup a meeting with the supervisor, said DiLeva, she reached out to Parisi and Martin to draft amendments to the budget to lower the tax increase. She said she and the other board members separately meet or discussed with department heads and the Comptroller Patrick Aragosa about their goal to lower spending.
Del Gallo pressed DiLeva to answer what department heads she had talked to, but she said she didn't want name people because of the experience she had while working on the amendments.

It is no longer available in the US, but I have ordered a stash from Ken Bromley Art supply in the UK, and even with air shipping to the US, the cost is still around 5.50 USD per sheet, which is comparable to Platine and less than COT320.

Leaders in the U.S. financial industry are calling on the nation's central bank to be more proactive in protecting banks against cyberattacks. According to newly released minutes from a February meeting of the Federal Advisory Council, the lending community is urging the Federal Reserve to become an "interlocutor" between private industry and the nation's intelligence services, with the goal of promoting the flow of threat information between banks and the government.

Director - Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
Rating - ***1/2
In 2012, when 21 Jump Street rolled into theatres, the main contention was whether it would live upto the 80's cop drama on which it is based? The answer was yes, and if that was the standard for this film, the sequel seemed to have topped it.
22 Jump Street continues the same buddy cop theme as the first film, and allows Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill to settle into their roles as the unlikely partners. Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) are two years older, which means this time they're going to have infiltrate the older crowd, in college. The fun part of this film, is the understanding that the first film worked, so why not try the exact same thing. Before you can say it's the same old thing, Hill, Ice Cube and Nick Offerman at various points through the film beat you to the punch, "It's the same thing, in the exact same way". The film is basically a meta-satire, poking holes at sequels, stereotypes, and the general money making mentality of Hollywood.
Hill as always was delightful as the awkward yet dedicated cop, and Tatum fit well into the alpha male avatar. Ice Cube got a bit more screen time, and shone well as the angry boss, with serious rage problems.
Sequels are always tricky, but the fun filled ride, experiments a whole lot in this one, and honestly that's what works. It's not like they left out the clichés, they purposely put them in with great context, forcing you to laugh out loud. Throughout the film, you'll find references to pop-culture, and the franchise in general. For instance, Hill exclaims that Ice-Cube's new office looks like a big cube of ice. In another scene, Nick Offerman explains, "This department has invested a lot of money to make sure Jump Street keeps going," an obvious dig at the studios investment in the film.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who hit it big with The Lego Movie earlier this year, know just how to shake things up while sticking to the original concept. As with most comedies there were the random jokes that were supposed to be funny, but failed to stir even a chuckle, but you were probably laughing at the previous joke to notice.
PS: Wait for the credits, you won't be disappointed.

Originally written on MLB Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/20/14
Here are a few items about John Danks' five-year, $65MM extension with the White Sox, which was officially announced today... Danks has a full no-trade clause for the first year of his contract, reports MLB.com's Scott Merkin. Danks will have partial no-trade protection for the remaining four years, able to block deals to six teams. The extension "really did come out of nowhere," Danks told media (including CSN Chicago's Chuck Garfien) during a conference call today. "Obviously, there was a lot of trade talk, and you can't help but wonder and think...But I think I kind of took the attitude that until something happens I was going to prepare to be with the White Sox. Fortunately, this came along and I couldn't be happier." As Garfien notes, this is the first time the White Sox have ever given a pitcher a five-year deal. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf prefers to keep pitchers on contracts of three years or less due to concerns about health and consistency. From the same confere...

Crockpots are great, but they can get some baked on stuff that's hard to remove. I find that an expired credit card is great for scraping. They're flexible and will curve to fit a curve.
I use credit cards (the ones that come as "an example" in credit card offerings) to scrape pots and pans clean.
When using your crockpot always spray with cooking oil of some sort protect the crockpot and help make clean up easier.
Tear up all your old credit cards. Learn to put a cap on just one card. Only spend within the designated limit. Ask the credit card issuer to give you a limit. For example, not $5000 but rather $2500. 209

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes fears Ryan Nelsen's return could be wrecked by commitments to New Zealand.
"There are international games coming, and there's nothing you can do," said Hughes. "But if he's injured then he doesn't make the games. We'll have to have dialogue with them (New Zealand Football) and we'll see what the situation is.
"But travelling halfway around the world might not be the best thing given he has had an episode with his hamstring.
"At least it's not a hamstring strain or pull. It's just scar tissue that has released itself.
"It's initially very sore, but once the pain subsides he should be okay, and hopefully he will be back sooner rather than later.
"Next weekend may be a bit soon for him, but I certainly hope the week after."

As now listed at Disneyland.com AP Section, they have seriously increased the amount of locations where you can get an AP Food Discount.
Basically any Food Outlet at Disneyland, DCA or the Hotels will give you a Discount... (Club 33, Napa Rose, Room Service and ODV Carts do NOT give AP discounts.)
SoCal Select, SoCal and Deluxe AP's get 10% off
Premium's get 15% off
Discounts do not apply to Alcoholic Drinks
The Merchandise discount remains at 10%, and still is ONLY for Premium AP's.
This makes it a LOT easier for us AP'ers to remember where you can get a discount, and will hopefully prevent a lot of complaints to CM's when dealing with AP holders.....
And FYI, Food prices will be going up resort wide on October 1st......

Video: Clippers with four huge dunks in two minutes on Bulls
Dec 12, 2012, 11:51 AM EDT
You'll have to forgive the Clippers announcers hyperbole through this (or you can just turn the sound down — they shouldn't be comparing Blake Griffin to Michael Jordan inside the United Center), but this was still must see video.
The Clippers are still lob city, they still put on an arial show night after night. They did it in Chicago with Griffin and DeAndre Jordan throwing down four huge dunks inside of two minutes. The last one, the putback dunk by Jordan over Marco Belinelli and Griffin, was the best of the bunch.
And while you get dazzled by the show, the Clippers are playing good defense and are a legit playoff threat in the West. The path to the finals still goes through Oklahoma City in the West, but the team from Los Angeles that pushes them hardest may not be the one everyone predicted before the season.
Hat tip to SLAM for the video.
- dannymac17 - Dec 12, 2012 at 12:00 PM
I believe he was comparing the way he dunked the ball Kurt. Nobody is comparing Griffin to Jordan.
- uscthom78 - Dec 12, 2012 at 1:10 PM
Pbt's Lakers beat writer has to insert a cheap shot in one of the few clippers post.
- mat9844 - Dec 12, 2012 at 2:17 PM
Yeah, I don't think they should compare Griffin to Jordan, either. Blake has his own style and his own way of making those incredible shots. No one dunks like Blake.
- gmsalpha - Dec 12, 2012 at 3:12 PM
So….8 points, right?
- dannymac17 - Dec 12, 2012 at 3:56 PM
You sir are a mathematician.
Did you expect one of em to dunk from half court?
- gmsingh - Dec 12, 2012 at 4:11 PM
Those dunks were almost as impressive as their five point margin of victory!
- dannymac17 - Dec 12, 2012 at 6:08 PM
You mean the on the road victory right? Cause at one point it was a like an 11 point lead. Get over it, the Clippers are legit. Get outta here you sorry sack of sadness.
- moseskkim - Dec 12, 2012 at 6:53 PM
7 straight wins for the clipps.. Another 6 game streak earlier in the season. This team is legit! The bench has been amazing. And are they entertaining! Very fun to watch.

HoopsHype Brett Yormark rumors
Brett Yormark on high salaries specifically, he added that it's about "value" and when specifically asked if they were "good value," he responded, "absolutely good value." "As it relates to salaries, obviously that's a decison that ownership and our basketball folk have to make. You want a return on that investment, right? So to the extent that we can see a return, I'm sure we'll keep making that investment." At the moment, though, they're good value? Absolutely, to the extent that we don't see the return any more i think it drives potentially different decisions. It all gets back to the fans spending the money to see a good team. Absolutely. You're absolutely right. It does come back to the fan. You've got give the fan a great product, if you do, they're going to vote yes with their wallet. NetsDaily
Brett Yormark is always pushing new frontiers in marketing the Nets and the Coney Island store is just the latest. Any other team have a beachfront operation selling team-branded beach balls? We think not. Now that the store has been open for two weeks, the team is pushing the idea beyond the casual beachgoers. It's encouraging fans to get on the subway and travel there to pick up Nets gear not available elsewhere. The intrepid Alyonka Larionov boards the D train at Barclays Center for the ride south to the Coney Island stop ... and a quick tour of the store with Terrel Kirkham, the Nets marketing director. NetsDaily
The Nets/Barclays Center management, led by Brett Yormark, are taking over the Islander business operations. An official announcement is expected soon. The takeover will include marketing. Yormark and Islanders owner Charles Wang hinted at the arrangement last week during a Sports Business Journal event at Barclays. NetsDaily
Being a member of the Nets organization surpassed some of my greatest ambitions. It was never about an investment; it was about the NETS and Brooklyn. My job as an owner is over but as a fan it has just begun. I'm a Brooklyn Net forever. It's been an honor to work with Mikhail Prokhorov, Dmitry Razumov, Christophe Charlier, ONEXIM Sports and Entertainment, Brett Yormark and all the wonderful people involved in making the Nets first class. My sincerest thanks goes to Bruce Ratner, who first introduced the idea of moving the Nets to Brooklyn. A thank you and deepest appreciation goes to the fans. You are the lifeblood of any team. The Nets have made their mark on the NBA and as they enter a new era, Roc Nation does as well; as we embark on Roc Nation Sports. Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today's top music artists. For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets. It was a tough decision but as I stated earlier, it's not about ownership. Congratulations to The Nets on a great season and making the playoffs! I will always be a Brooklyn Net. lifeandtimes.com
The Nets wouldn't miss Carter's money if he were to transition from NBA ownership to NBA player management. Rather, the franchise would miss its biggest international symbol, someone veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse described as "iconic." Nets and Barclays Center chief executive Brett Yormark didn't respond to an interview request, but did claim in a February interview that Carter was a major attraction for segments of the team's fan base. "You have other people who like us because we've married the world of sports to entertainment because of Jay-Z," Yormark said. Wall Street Journal
On Wednesday, Brett Yormark and children from the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club cut the ribbon on a Brooklyn Nets-themed basketball court at the club's Navy Yard Clubhouse on Nassau Street. The court is a replica of the Nets home court (minus the herringbone but with the logos). It took about two months and $75,000 to renovate, all of it paid for by the Nets CEO's Yormark Family Foundation.The court was the foundation's first project. The new gym has a new basketball court, bleachers and wall padding. After the ribbon cutting, hundreds of local residents watched two club team dedicate the court. NetsDaily
Net Daily: Yormark tweet had nothing to do with firing. In fact, he had to step back. Was entirely a Moscow decision. Twitter @NetsDaily
After the game, Nets CEO Brett Yormark tweeted, "Nets fans deserved better today. The entire organization needs to work harder to find the solution. We will get there." A spokesman later said Yormark wasn't referring to just the team's recent performance, including yesterday's loss, but several issues that cropped up during the day, including the microphone cutting out during the first part of singer Darlene Love's rendition of the national anthem. New York Post
In the third installment of Jay-Z's docu-series on the Nets move to Brooklyn, filmmakers explore (and we're being kind) "The Rivalry," a wild discussion between Nets fans and Knicks fans. With Brett Yormark starring as the voice of reason and everyone else (including a comedian known as "Fat Jew") taking pot shots at Manhattan or Brooklyn, it's easily the most entertaining of the series. It appears on Jay-Z's new YouTube channel, Life+Times. NetsDaily
The Nets have spent the last 35 years fighting to gain a foothold in the New York market. But despite plying their trade within shouting distance of the New York City skyline, despite making back-to-back NBA Finals appearances led by future Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd, the Nets have never been able to make a significant dent into the immense popularity of the Knicks in the area. "I think when we were in New Jersey, we didn't really have the platform to do that," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said. "We were the after thought. We were certainly the second team in the market. That's not debatable." New York Post
Nate Taylor: Nets CEO Brett Yormark: "I don't think there is any game bigger than Nets-Knicks on opening night in Brooklyn." Twitter
Sixers president Rod Thorn said he has "no comment," after he and Nets CEO Brett Yormark exchanged shots at each other last week. Thorn just wanted to talk about basketball and said the Nets are going to much better this season. He believes Favors is going to be a star in the near future, and if the Nets hold on to him he doesn't foresee a better frontline combo than Favors and Brook Lopez. We know, Thorn drafted them so he has to say that. But he was serious. Bergen Record
I'm very much behind "the Dodgers." "The Brooklyn Dodgers" – it's classic! Yorkmark: (Laughs.) In any case, "Brooklyn" is a very strong word and a wonderful brand. It is probably impossible not to use it. In general, we like "Nets" [as a brand], too. And the Nets have quite a good history, so "Brooklyn Nets" isn't bad at all, although we are still far from a final decision [on the name] and we're not especially in a hurry. Brooklyn gives us great opportunities for development – it's 2,5 million residents. Queens is very close by, and that's 2.1 million more. Directly beneath the [site of the new stadium], nine subway lines intersect, and there's the railroad that connects us to Long Island: The Nets were born on Long Island. Before joining the NBA, we played in the ABA under the name the New York Nets. We … can count on those long-term fans and we'll get new ones in Brooklyn, in Queens. And our fans from New Jersey who want to follow us will have the opportunity. It's a new beginning in their own arena … It will be something special. Ball In Europe
Tell me about Jay-Z. What does it mean to have him among the owners of the team? Yorkmark: Well, Jay is altogether stunning. I've known him well for several years. Last year, it became very difficult. He didn't like what was happening [with the team, with] the image of the team. But now, with the relocation is quite close, he's in a different mood. He has a lot in common with Mikhail on some points, and now they can work together to change the team. Prokhorov is a winner first. He wants to win, he will claim victory, and he will give the team the energy to win. Jay-Z bringing celebrity status also doesn't hurt. Especially in New York. So Prokhorov and Jay-Z together – this is very powerful team ownership. Ball In Europe

Being embedded doesn't allow you to report the crisis for women in Iraq through Sulafa's horrifying abuse and consequent divorce, or the transition to so-called democracy through Ali's desire to create a new myth for Iraq. Those are the stories of the country that need to be told. And we tend not to hear or read them because that's not what people who enlist look for (nor do their editors or publishers).
That's what people like me look for. And since people like me don't look for war, we don't tend to end up in the middle of one to tell the stories of life swirling on the margins of war. As I learned last fall, there is nothing glamorous about danger to me, and in fact I mind it quite a bit. If I were one of the salty dogs at the Hamra Hotel eager to trade horror stories over beers, I'd be in Iraq right now, not in a West Village coffee shop, typing as a well-dressed stranger across the table reads the latest such horror story on the front page of The New York Times. And if I were one of those salty dogs, you'd only hear about the war from me as well.
Last week I went to see a public interview with Azar Nafisi, author of the now famous memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran. "You have to think other people are not like us in order to eliminate them," she told the audience, reminding me of why I feel so compelled to return to Iraq. I know that at least the people I met in Iraq are quite like me.
They may have experienced things I can only imagine, but they have known love and heartbreak like me; they have had political anger and hopes like me; they like to laugh and eat and gossip and dream like me. In some waysin reactionary, self-protecting, lazy waysI wish I could flip the channel. I wish my fatigue and depression in the face of this unfathomable situation could cut my emotional cord to it.
Nafisi endured a nation at war (Iran) for 10 terrifying years. Listening to her talk, I felt the switch that had slid toward "stay" slide back to "go." I kept it to myself. Then came the news about Nick Berg, beheaded on videotape. The switch slid back to "stay."
It's a gut response. Intellectually, I know that every time a headline-grabbing terror like this occurs, I am needed more than ever there, that it is my duty to push the tides of opinion away from the swell of "other" that Nafisi invoked, to beat the drum of commonality. After September 11, it was driven into us that if we alter the course of our lives in any way (keep shopping! Board that plane!), the terrorists have won. For me, for today at least, they have.

Explaining Complexity in Software Development? 202
from the just-don't-have-the-right-words dept.
'Software entities are more complex for their size than perhaps any other human construct because no two parts are alike (at least above the statement level). If they are, we make the two similar parts into a subroutine--open or closed. In this respect, software systems differ profoundly from computers, buildings, or automobiles, where repeated elements abound.'

Lady Gaga tweets some racy images before concert
More News from Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina— Lady Gaga's tweets were getting a lot of attention ahead of her Buenos Aires concert Friday night.
The Grammy-winning entertainer has more than 30 million followers on Twitter and that's where she shared a link this week to a short video showing her doing a striptease and fooling around in a bathtub with two other women.
She told her followers that it's a "surprise for you, almost ready for you to TASTE."
Then, in between concerts in Brazil and Argentina, she posted a picture Thursday on her Twitter page showing her wallowing in her underwear and impossibly high heels on top of the remains of what appears to be a strawberry shortcake.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings and former punter Chris Kluwe said Tuesday they reached a settlement averting a lawsuit over Kluwe's claim that the team wrongfully released him last year because of his outspoken support for same-sex marriage rights.
Under the deal, the Vikings will donate an undisclosed sum of money to five gay rights-related charities over the next five years. Kluwe said he won't receive any money as part of the settlement.
"This will help a lot of people that really do need that help," Kluwe said. He said he was convinced the Vikings and owners Zygi and Mark Wilf were committed to the cause, and committed to being leaders on this issue in the NFL.
"They want to make this a reality where there is no discrimination in sports, there is no homophobia," Kluwe said at a news conference.
The Vikings said in a statement that the deal resolves all issues related to Kluwe's departure from the team and his accusations that a coach made anti-gay comments. Zygi Wilf said he wished Kluwe the best.
"In regards to this matter, our focus remains on maintaining a culture of tolerance, inclusion and respect, and creating the best workplace environment for our players, coaches and staff," Wilf said in the statement.
Under the settlement, the Vikings also agreed to require all team employees to undergo sensitivity training four times a year. The team will also host a national symposium in Minneapolis next spring that will address LGBT issues and professional athletics, said Kluwe's attorney, Clayton Halunen.
Kluwe threatened to sue the team if it didn't release the full 150-page report, but Halunen said Tuesday that the Vikings had done a thorough investigation into Kluwe's allegations. Halunen said he and Kluwe had initially pushed for the report's release out of concern that there may have been a systemic problem within the organization, but they viewed the full report as part of mediation and are satisfied there are no widespread issues.
Halunen identified two of the five nonprofits as the Matthew Shepard Foundation and You Can Play, a charity run by retired NFL player Wade Davis, who is gay. Both focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. He did not disclose the names of the other charities, saying they hadn't been notified yet.
He said the financial terms weren't disclosed due to a confidentiality agreement, adding: "This is a substantial commitment to LGBT causes."
Kluwe averaged 44.4 yards per punt over his eight-season career in Minnesota, including a career-high 39.7 yard net average in 2012. But he ranked just 17th in the NFL in punting that season before he was cut. He hasn't gotten a kicking job elsewhere since his release. He said Tuesday he is considering writing a book and pursuing public speaking opportunities.
Kluwe said taking a stand was worth it.
"It's always worth it," he said. "You have a children's game, and you have basic human rights. And there's one of those I'm always going to value more than the other."

Most Chinese Stocks Decline; Index Completes Monthly Retreat
April 30 (Bloomberg) -- Most China stocks fell, with the benchmark index capping the biggest monthly loss since January, on concern government measures to curb property speculation will slow economic growth and hurt domestic consumption.
Poly Real Estate Group Co. fell to a 13-month low. Kweichow Moutai Co., the country's biggest producer of baijiu liquor by market value, slid 3.9 percent. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. and China Construction Bank Corp. rose at least 1 percent after posting the largest first-quarter profits among the world's banks.
About three stocks fell for each one that rose on the Shanghai Composite Index, which gained 2.18, or 0.1 percent, to 2,870.61 at the close. The CSI 300 Index added 0.2 percent to 3,067.36. The CSI Smallcap 500 Index fell 2.7 percent. China's markets will be shut on May 3 for a holiday.
"The market is pricing in the aftermath of the crackdown on the property market," said Wang Zheng, a fund manager at Jingxi Investment Management Co. in Shanghai. "I don't see any construction or investment boom in the next two to three years as a decline in property prices is very likely."
Futures on the CSI 300 expiring in May, the most active contract, lost 0.8 percent to 3,089.8.
The Shanghai Composite has plunged 7.7 percent this month, the biggest decline since January, as the government unwound monetary stimulus and stepped up measures to prevent a housing bubble inflated by record lending last year. It has slumped 12 percent in 2010, the world's second-worst performer.
Volatility Jumps
The AlphaShares Chinese Volatility Index, a measure of implied volatility on stock exchanges in China and Hong Kong, has risen 13 percent this week after Standard & Poor's cut Greece's credit rating to junk and downgraded Portugal. The index is based on options prices, and assesses near-term expectations for the magnitude and rate of price moves.
Poly Real Estate, the second-largest developer by market value, lost 0.3 percent to 12.35 yuan, its lowest close since March 2009. Gemdale Corp., the fourth largest, dropped 0.7 percent to 12.15 yuan. An index tracking developers on the Shanghai Composite lost 0.4 percent, capping a 16 decline for the month.
"The market is still worried about the impact of the clampdown on the property market on economic and earnings growth given its share in the whole economy," said Wei Wei, an analyst at West China Securities Co. in Shanghai.
Property Curbs
China has ordered higher mortgage rates and down-payment ratios since data showed property prices jumped a record 11.7 percent in March. The government has also raised banks' reserve requirements, set a target of a 22 percent reduction in new lending this year, barred loans for third-home purchases and reinstated a sales tax on homes.
Moutai slid 3.9 percent to 129.03 yuan, the lowest since June 2009. Shanghai Bailian Group Co., the listed unit of China's biggest retailer, lost 5.6 percent to 15.13 yuan. Wuliangye Yibin Co., China's second-biggest maker of white liquor by market value, dropped 1.5 percent to 26.29 yuan.
ZTE Corp., China's second-biggest phone-equipment maker and which counts India as its largest overseas market, slumped 8 percent to 37.25 yuan. The Indian government has rejected proposals from operators to purchase Chinese equipment on national security grounds, the Financial Times reported today, citing correspondence from India's Department of Telecommunications to the Prime Minister's Office.
Margrete Ma, a spokeswoman for ZTE, said the company is looking into the situation. She declined further comment. A.K. Srivastava, a deputy director general at India's Department of Telecommunications, declined to comment.
Bank Profits
Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, the nation's biggest listed lender and also known as ICBC, added 1.1 percent to 4.54 yuan. Construction Bank, the second largest, rose 1 percent to 5.25 yuan.
ICBC's first-quarter profit increased 18 percent from a year earlier while net income for Construction Banks climbed 34 percent, according to separate statements last night.
China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co., the nation's third-largest insurer, gained 3.1 percent to 25.33 yuan. First-quarter net income rose 192 percent on a year earlier to 2.8 billion yuan, said the company.
Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., the biggest steelmaker, advanced 6 percent to 6.89 yuan. First-half profit may surge by between sixfold and 10-fold from a year ago as Chinese demand for the metal used in cars and appliances rebounds, it said. First-quarter profit jumped 44 fold to 3.93 billion yuan.
Shanghai has begun restricting access to its Lujiazui financial district as China's richest city steps up security before its $44 billion World Expo opens to the public tomorrow. The six-month long expo is scheduled to run through October and attract an estimated 70 million visitors to Shanghai, according to organizers.
The following companies were among the most active in China's markets. Stock symbols are in brackets after companies' names.
Fujian Furi Electronics Co. (600203 CH) slumped the maximum 10 percent to 7.79 yuan after the computer maker said it was under investigation by the nation's securities regulator.
Ningbo Veken Elite Group Co. (600152 CH), a textile manufacture, tumbled 10 percent to 6.79 yuan, a one-month low. The company posted a first-quarter loss of 11.9 million yuan, according to a statement to the stock exchange.
Sichuan Chengfa Aero-Science & Technology Co. (600391 CH) fell by the daily 10 percent cap for a second day to 26.15 yuan, after Southwest Securities cut its stock rating to "neutral" from "add."

The press breaks out: once used only by activists, outing is growing popular with mainstream reporters.
The February 22 suicide of 28-year-old Sandy Hume, an up-and-coming reporter for The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper, sent the Washington rumor mill into overdrive. Speculation reverberated throughout the city that the cause of the suicide was not alcoholism, as had been explained, but threats from prominent House Republicans to out him and his alleged sexual relationship with Rep. Bill Paxon (R-N.Y.), the husband of former New York congresswoman Susan Molinari. The rumor gained momentum when Paxon, who was readying to fight House majority leader Dick Armey (R-Tex.) for the number two position in the House, stunned the Washington establishment three days after Hume's death with his decision to quit politics to be with his family.
Instead of shying away from the politically sensitive stow, reporters from several major news organizations tried to confirm the rumors, which have never been verified and which Paxon vehemently denied. But the willingness of the Washington press corps to chase the story underscores how "outing," once considered off-limits to journalists, has become familiar territory for many reporters.
Indeed, in the case of the rumors surrounding Hume, reporters were tripping over each other in their rush to break the stow. Ann Northrop, who printed the unproven story about Paxon and Hume in her column for the newspaper Lesbian and Gay New York, said she fielded numerous phone calls from respected mainstream journalists about the affair. "When rumors flew about former speaker Tom Foley being gay, nobody wanted to touch it," says Northrop, who worked at CBS News during the 1980s. "Ten years later major news organizations went after [Paxon] enormously." (Like Paxon, Foley denied he is gay.)
Back in the early 1990s, the practice of outing public figures surfaced among gay activists as a way to wage a type of guerrilla warfare on the nation's power elite. Tabloid papers sometimes printed breathless stories about celebrities' secret lives. But a handful of journalists, mostly gay or working for the gay press, began to wage an outing campaign of their own based on more serious political considerations. (The Advocate was among the publications that engaged in outing at the time, but the magazine's present editorial policy prohibits the tactic.)
Chief among this crowd of activist-journalists was Michelangelo Signorile, whose "Gossip Watch" column in the now-defunct OutWeek magazine regularly named names, garnering the admiration or reproach--but always the attention--of gay men and lesbians, not to mention journalists, everywhere. Signorile believed then, as he does now, that outing people in the business world, the entertainment industry, or government would help lead to an equalization of heterosexuality and homosexuality within the media.
Northrop, who worked alongside Signorile when they were both at the direct-action group ACT UP, says the practice of outing really amounted to a new way of thinking about the closet and how it functions. "The whole business of secrecy was the assumption that there was something wrong with being gay," Northrop says. "What Mike did so brilliantly was turn that 180 degrees, saying true liberation and equality mean being open and honest."
But forcing someone to be out was--and still is, to many--ethically problematic. "It's kind of crude journalism to blend one's private life with one's public life to bring them down," says Dick Schwarzlose, a journalism professor at Northwestern University, noting that the activist underpinnings of outing could impair the impartiality of hard-news reporters. "How is a reporter supposed to regain credibility once a source has been outed?"
The mainstream press, especially, was quick to distance itself from the practice early on and rarely followed up on stories originating in the gay press. A March 1990 article in Time magazine, which actually first coined the term outing, condemned the practice, saying no one had the right to sacrifice the lives of closeted gays to an intolerant society.
As homosexuality has become less shocking and more acceptable, the furor over outing has lessened. Signorile claims that the practice in some ways has been "woven" into mainstream journalism. "In the past the whole idea about the opposition to outing was that--from a legal, moral, and ethical point of view--it was something unspeakably horrible," he says. "Today, in all those realms, it's just not so."
In addition to the Paxon-Hume story, Signorile points to other examples of outing in the mainstream press--The Wall Street Journal's reporting in 1995 that Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner had left his wife for a man and Boston Magazine's decision in 1996 to out Republican political strategist Arthur Finkelstein. (In both cases, however, neither man made much of an attempt to hide his private life.) Also telling, Signorile says, is that no major news outlets wrote editorials condemning those stories (although the Wenner stow did spark debate within the journalism community about journalistic ethics) or other articles discussing possibilities that a closeted public figure might be gay.
Yet for the most part, outing by the mainstream press is done more on an ad hoc basis than according to any journalistic standards. Signorile claims that the arbitrary nature of outing stories proves that the media are two-faced in their approach. "There is a certain amount of hypocrisy in the media," he argues. "They do report more casually on people's orientation, but there are clearly people they won't go near." And sometimes the press report only by inference. Where gossip columnists used to invent heterosexual love affairs for stars known to be gay, various media now either refuse to print such stories or, as was the case with a formerly closeted Ellen DeGeneres, coyly speculate about a star's sexuality.
Signorile credits the press's more liberal attitude toward outing to social and cultural shifts in the 1990s. For one thing, more public figures decide to come out on their own nowadays, leading more people to believe that being openly gay does not automatically mean the kiss of death for one's professional life. Also, the increase in openly gay reporters in the newsroom has helped incite discussion of gay issues and politics, opening the door for more gay-related pieces to be given the go-ahead. Signorile also points to the "anger unleashed" in 1996 by the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal bill to ban recognition of same-sex marriages. The law helped ignite a new round of gay outings by activists and reporters more willing to expose or at least question closeted politicians who voted for the measure.
Karen-Louise Boothe, president of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and senior political reporter for Minnesota Public Radio, agrees that there has been a major sea change, at least when it comes to outing political figures. "If it's about a [closeted] politician making a policy decision that runs contrary to what is fair and equal, then the issue of outing becomes part of that stow," Boothe says. "How can a solid or thoughtful journalist not ask the question?"
But beyond the issue of political hypocrisy, it seems, few mainstream journalists, even those who are gay, are willing to go the extra mile some activists consider necessary to out high-profile individuals. Gall Shister, an openly lesbian television columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer since 1982 and a vice president for NLGJA, says that in off-the-record conversations she has encouraged gay celebrities to come out but that she would never cross the line and out them herself. "Outing is more of a stroking the ego of the person doing the outing," Shister says. "People are in the closet for a reason. It's not my role in life to impose my timetable on them."
But Signorile says political hypocrisy should not be the only factor in deciding whether to out someone. "We should be reporting on homosexuality with the same criteria we report on people's heterosexuality," he says. "The test should be relevancy, whether or not their sexual orientation is relevant to the action they are taking." By that standard a major sports figure or an actor playing a gay character on television would be fair game. Mainstream journalists, however, may never be willing to make that leap. As Schwarzlose puts it, "Everybody's entitled to a private life, even public figures."
