Donald Sterling Is Out. Now What?

Brian you have made an effort over years to be a reporter and journalist as opposed to just another milquetoast a PC policeman passing or insinuating professional and legal indictment over a personal conversation!
For all we know, that corpse of an owner may have said a sentence following that puts the whole thing into an entirely different context! The intelligent reporter would be standing up for the old rich guy until there are ANY facts or context. I would never have that convo -- but who the F*CK KNOWS what he had in his mind when he said that?
And you two are such Vics! Nuff said but two nice Jewish boys like you best walk the straight and narrow…
I mean, Whose boots are we even trying to lick here, your "please call us again" crowd?
You have a lot of comments, but in this case that is anything but the measure of a good segment.
This faux outrage and "love" for blk people is sickening. The concern about black people is very selective. BL show supports homosexual blk ppl in Uganda, hangs up on them when they complain about gentrification. If people care so much about blk pols welfare the how is there no mention of the other points Sterling made that blk people are treated horribly in Israel. Blk pppl should investigate and report. Of course BL can't or won't do it for obvious reason. His "love" for blk ppl has limits
not to defend what Sterling said, but I think it's all too convenient when the racism is coming from the mouth of a white person directed at a black person.
That's safe racism. We're used to it. It's comfortable.
I work in an office where people are predominantly black and can say that there is no such thing as a post-racial america. My office is alive with race and racism but towards white people.
I wish I were in some BS dispute with someone around here so I could secretly tape them speaking about white people. The issue of racism is broad and doesn't stop with 'evil' 'stupid' white people. It flies in all directions. It's bigger and a lot more uglier than anyone wants to own up to.
This conversation on the BL show is akin to child talk on racism in usa.

Keep dreaming comrade fuva.
This is America, not "harlemworld".
Brian said that Sterling had created a "hostile work environment." How? He has a majority (if not totally) black team, and went further in hiring a black coach. I have heard nothing about Sterling interfering with decisions regarding personnel or how the team was run (like some other team owners, a/k/a Steinbrenner). I make no apology for what he said, which definitely had racial (but more accurately paternalistic) overtones, but I personally find what that rancher out in Nevada (Bundy?)said about blacks being better off under slavery much more racist. Sterling at least "hired" and paid his black personnel well and his operation contributes to the well-being of society (i.e. through taxes and philanthropy), while Bundy has been feeding at the public trough while refusing to pay his "share" to society (rent due and owing to the owner of the land he has been grazing his cattle on, the Federal government). Yet despite this, I find the tone of this show and other public commentators to have largely forgotten or minimized what Bundy said while expessing much greater outrage at the private thoughts and attidtudes of an elderly man who grew up in a much different time.
I am appalled, sad and fearful about the reax of many people to Silver's statement and what their opinions say about us as a country. I briefly sampled comments on the Yahoo news site (where I first heard of NBA decision), e.g.:
* Bemoaning lack of "freedom of speech" for Sterling. (This isn't the govt shutting him up and his remarks didn't break any laws--no one is claiming that. This is about the marketplace/business/sport acting ethically, using - belatedly - its own rules/powers to punish him);
* Skewering his gf and her ethics. (This isn't about her, folks. That's another issue, complex and layered, and does involve poss. Illegal taping. But hey, it certainly unleashes the just-under-the-surface misogynist and abusive attitudes toward this woman and women in general);
* Poor guy's privacy's been invaded, horrors! (Some people equate this with govt snooping, making allusions to U.S. Becoming a Soviet-style police state.) This isn't about larger privacy issues, really. It just confirms his long rep of racism, discrim, etc. This is more along the lines of finding out that a religious leader who preached monogamy, trad. family values who's found out to be cheating on his wife.)
To emphasize these issues more than Sterling's grotesque racism and long history of bigotry and discrimination is incomprehensible to me. Would/have these same folks react/reacted to similarly "outed" behaviors of celebrities and nat'l leaders when the subject wasn't racism? I doubt it.
Correction -- Edward from Washington HEIGHTS...
All I'm saying is that people are people everywhere and nobody is inherently better or worse than anyone else. No group is inherently better, and no group is inherently worse. Of course, education helps improve peoples' understanding as well as making people more introspective to be able to recognize their own flaws and shortcomings. But in general, our species has not evolved in thousands of years, but we have improved technologically and in terms of wider education, but that does not necessarily that we are morally any superior then our ancestors. Hillel and Jesus and Buddha and Zoroaster and other philosophers had good things to say many centuries ago that are just as applicable to what Martin Luther King said not that many years ago.
Edward from Washington, why would it be too intellectually taxing? And please don't ever address me again.
jgarbuz, why is it significant that you point out that they "didn't even know what a spoon or fork were used for, and had never seen an electric switch or a toilet"? Does it indicate something about their inherent capabilities or the value of Ethiopian culture? Should it be a surprise or something that they have become western doctors, etc.? What do you know about their indigenous culture and its technologies?...My point is that such statements are loaded with assumptions and value judgments, that underlie Donald Sterling's degeneracy and race terror, because we don't understand how different cultures came to develop differently. We fill these substantial, consequential gaps in our knowledge with nonsense, and it's dangerous.
And, of course, because a subset of black Israeli immigrants were able to transcend structural barriers does not excuse us from addressing the unjust structural and other barriers.
Ah JG, your paternalism is suffocating: You know what's best for black jews and you can speak on how well they are treated in Israel. Next, you are going to tell us that Sephardic Jews can be prime minister anytime they want.
I sure as heck don't know what you're saying. LEt me put it to you flat out, that the black Jewish immigrants to Israel were given infinitely better care than I was when I emigrated to Israel, okay? But is there racism among Israeli Jews? Sure. There is some latent prejudice about Ashkenazi Jews vs Mizrachi (Oriental) and Sephardic Jews, and vice versa. Just as in the US you have biases amongst whites Christians, hispanic Christians, black Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and on and on and on. The same exists in ISrael amongst all of the 143 different Jewish ethnicities, as well between seculars versus orthodox, and so on and so forth. There is always a reason to resent and hate someone else.

"KJ Walters from Monroe, NY
A caller compared this to Stalinism, but it is more like Orwell's 1984. In America, we shouldn't be punishing thought crime, which is what this is.
Matters such as the structure of the NBA are beside the point, as they have always been there for anyone to see and to deal with.
But punishing a man for his private thoughts is wrong. It is not illegal to be a racist. To me he is Schindler, whose heart was not pure either--but so what?"
But who's punishing him? The United States Government? Hell no.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." (wish more American would read this)
The NBA is a publicly-visible yet privately owned organization, and if anyone in their organization does/say something that ruins their reputation, they have the right to admonish that person. Sterling has the right to be a jerk, but not when he's in charge of something that benefits society (i.e sports entertainment).
fuva from harlemworld,
If jgarbuz is so wrong, why not give a top 5 examples of how he is wrong.
Or is that too intellectually taxing for you?
Good example, jgarbuz:
When you say the Ethiopian Jews "didn't even know what a spoon or fork were used for, and had never seen an electric switch or a toilet before they were brought to Israel, today are engineers, doctors, lawyers and ministers in the knesset.", you 1) think you're saying something and 2) don't know what you're saying.
The unawareness in such statements poses as big, if not a bigger challenge today than Donald Sterling's type of ignorance.
The sports writer who thinks that it is offensive, structurally racist and plantation like to have white owners of teams with majority black players…what it is he thinks would work? If you play out his (sophomoric class/race/gender) analysis it becomes clear that avoiding the 'plantation structure,' requires that whites not be allowed to own teams with black players. So, only black men and women with the money for it should own those teams. But, since white owners hire so many black players because they tend to be more talented, the teams they will be able to build with majority or only white players will not be as good as the black teams. In fact, they should probably compete in separate leagues, for fairness's sake. Which brings us back to segregation. Which is certainly a neater solution, if you care about these pseudo-intellectual structural aesthetics of this business. Integration is much messier, as reality in general tends to be.
"Sterling" also slandered Israel because I lived in Beersheba when the tens of thousands of black Ethiopian Jews were brought in to live there, and if anything the Israelis bent over backwards to make them feel better than any other immigrant group Which is not to say there aren't racist Israelis. The liberals there are just like the liberals here, phoney to the core. But today Ethiopian Jews in Israel who didn't even know what a spoon or fork were used for, and had never seen an electric switch or a toilet before they were brought to Israel, today are engineers, doctors, lawyers and ministers in the knesset.
The GREAT Chris Rock on Black Racism.
In a secular free democracy where free speech is protected, that includes bigoted speech. If and until our laws change, bigotry IS a right. As the ACLU knows.It's one thing to pass laws governing speech in a work place and public space and media but to be FINED by a company for any comments made in a private conversation is a disturbing abridgment of ones freedom. People should have the right to their beliefs and their speech without fear of being fined by a corporation for expressing them privately. These self righteous hypocrites, who knew he was a plantation style bigot and played his game, had no problem with it as they were on the gravy train. Now because he's publically exposed, the gravy train stops and they run cause they HAVE to. The NAACP had no problem taking this slave- master- mentality- bigots' money and even HONORING him; the players, other owners knew he was a bigot and the media did not expose it either. Now they run cause otherwise they'll be tainted with the same plantation brush; whores[NAACP], uncle tom's [players] or racists themselves[other owners, the media and the public]. They all got caught ,that's all.
I find it interesting that American media is leaving a crucial part of the racial rant out. The part where Sterling uses Israel's racism as an excuse for his.
@Gregory from the Bronx, are you saying that only liberals denounced: Donald Sterling, Al Campanis and Jimmy the Greek, and you and conservatives agreed with their views?
There's no first amendment issue here -- the government isn't doing anything. A person got caught saying horrible things. People who probably already knew he was a horrible person and are no longer able to keep their heads in the sand. The consequence? He's being kicked out of his private club for millionaires. That's all.
That's what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you ..these white folks are gonna hafta learn that the shadow they've inherited is because of all the injustices and crimes their ancestors committed against the black race..
What caller Diane, and others don't understand about Sterlings comments is he was not tricked into saying those things or being recorded- he in fact records thousands of hours of conversation in order to document his business dealings, or so he says. Yes it's a good way to refer back to an issue if truly needed to but raises the question did he do so legally, with others consent? Clearly real life will eventually spill over and other things will be said and recorded. He's doing worse than whatever the NSA could do by this act- by infringing on others privacy. Even if he never had plans to share the recordings with anyone, it's still deeply unethical on the face of it.
The fact his MISTRESS knew about it, and cleverly used it again him, is almost a secondary issue. Seems like the gold digger just wised up finally and started thinking like him- business first, make money, act with impunity within reason. Hard to judge that given the vast scope of the relationship he had with her and his wife- who could not be such an idiot living in a bubble she didn't know about the mistress' two Bentley car gifts, that she was often seen with Sterling in public where there was no question who she was. Repugnant yes, but that's besides the point.
My dear friends mother has been in a long term relationship with a creepy, racist guy very similar to Sterling, but a hardcore sociopath type, controlling, a crook, manipulative, etc. He's always crowing what a stand up guy he is, honest and trustworthy- yet has been recording his phone calls for decades, is very suspicious and conniving. When a disagreement or problem arises or he just is in a foul mood and wants to stir it up he states how such & such is wrong, they're lying, they didn't say that or promises this because "I have it recorded!", then actually will go as far as list the date and time... total whack job. Just a matter of time before his nightmarish game is turned on him and his sand castle is crushed.
A caller compared this to Stalinism, but it is more like Orwell's 1984. In America, we shouldn't be punishing thought crime, which is what this is.

But punishing a man for his private thoughts is wrong. It is not illegal to be a racist. To me he is Schindler, whose heart was not pure either--but so what?
What is so surprising about this? a few months ago I made a statement in front of an immigrant about immigrant drivers in this city. the person I told my story to took the easy high road and quite rudely berated me in front of my son and accused me of being racist or making a racist comment (I would have made the same comment about an eastern europeans, the same stock I spring from so it was not made based on race and I am known to pick on NJ drivers and southern drivers). there was no talking to this person or reasoning. just his self-righteous, arrogant attitude.
As soon as I see him again I am going to point out something his high level international executive wife did some years ago (before he knew her). now mind you, this woman does a lot of business in foreign countries, many of them depending on the labor of non-whites. The woman, a single mother who I had always thought to be progressive and for equality, hired a nanny with very black skin and then told my wife, another immigrant, "I cannot afford to hire an Irish nanny." I was appalled at hearing that statement. I was further appalled that she proceeded to buy a second home and send her children to private schools while still employing this underpaid black nanny; this woman is not some person working for the MTA or as a teacher who had to take advantage of a black immigrant out of need.
I was in my early thirties when this took place and more left leaning and idealistic than I am now. When that happen, I was shocked and horrified. in time, I have realized that underneath it all, all of these people in power positions and in the public eye have a public persona and a private one. those of them who have their act down to a t and are careful don't get caught. the rest of them do, but really, they are no different from one another. even the immigrant I mention above, who so berated me, would probably treat a person from his country different than he treated me - a double standard.
What happen with this man should not surprise us. It is wrong, but none of us should be surprised by it as it happens all the time at both ends of the political spectrum. Now, it is worse that he is at such a high level position, as he should set a standard, but those of us who chastise him for it really need to take a deep look inside and be sure we are all so squeaky clean.
@JG - when was Mr. Sterling ever a "liberal jew"?
BK from Hoboken said:
"Oh Martin. Once again everyone is a Jew hater in your world even though the US has bent over backward to appease Israel for 50 years to the detriment of our relationship with a billion Muslims worldwide."
A billion Muslims who hate Bahais, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Zoroastrians AND the "wrong kind of Muslim" (Sunni Shiite Salafist Wahabbi Sufi VHS Betamax)
@ Martin don't you think you are beating a dead horse ... pretty DEFENSIVE huh ? yep we all know where YOU fall in the grey scale of all this the racism is as always just below the surface ....
@illfg, I have a huge problem with people being taped without their consent. However, the tapes came out and the NBA, AS A PRIVATE ENTIY - HAS A RIGHT TO deal with it.
I don't get how you don't see this. The man has a franchise NOT a stand alone business.
This whole Eric Boller "Harry Reid" comparison, is pure nonsense.
This is not a 1st Amendment issue. Think BLS missed that teachable moment.
illfg - when did i say only white people were racists? i swear you people are thick. just unthinking drones.... you state, "i thought the 1st amendment protected everyones.....", you really haven't a clue what is going on.... just patehtic
How about one standard for all?
Al (Tawana Brawley hoax, Crown Heights riots, Freddies Fashion Mart fire and deaths) Sharpton should be shunned and kicked to the side of the street for his actions which have resulted in deaths.
Seeing politicians make pilgrimages to his clubhouse is disgusting.
Once again we are given to view the spectacular hypocrisy of the left. Oh so moral and self-righteous to denounce the likes of Donald Sterling,Al Campanis and Jimmy the Greek, but how deafening their silence when a Charlie Ward and Allen Houston make anti-Semitic remarks.
Brooklynmom stated facts. What many people are saying here is that Sterling has every right to hold bigoted beliefs in private or even in public. If those beliefs cross the line to actions, like housing discrimination in his past, then he will be held legally accountable. If those private beliefs affect the team he owns and the private league to which he belongs, then he has to face the consequences of those beliefs. I didn't see one comment on here that people approve of his beliefs, just that he has a right to have them, and good luck to him trying to life with those now that they are quite public. You can't control or legislate thoughts or beliefs. You can just hope and wait for these old bigots to die off.
"Sterling" is just typical of most of my former liberal Jewish "friends" who came out of Brownsville 50 years ago and went on to become wealthy suburbanites and now won't come visit me because they feign being fearful of a "bad" neighborhood. Of course what they mean is black neighborhood. Bunch of hypocrites from A to Z, but that is why I am NOT a liberal. I'm a conservative Jew who prefers to live among mostly black people because I once made a living from them and I know that they are no better nor worse than Jews or anybody else. There are bad and good in every group and we are all of the same species whether or not we choose to think otherwise. People are just people and nothing more or less.
If I "own" a regional chain of McDonalds or KFC's and a tape comes out of me beating my wife, attending a Klan rally, or saying that certain ethnic costumers "disgust me." A franchisor has a right, per their bylaws to take away my ability to operate a franchise with their name on it
The owners of Chik Fil' a, can say whatever they want - they own their business outright.
I was somewhat mortified by the tone of the discussion on the show just now. Thank heaven Diana's call was let through. I think the issues she raised about people talking in their home made public by their supposed loved ones in order to punish them is *precisely* what was going on in Stalinist Soviet Union. We are next going to regulate and punish people for what they *think* in the privacy of their homes, even if they don't express it? I would like to see the ACLU come into this to defend Sterling, despicable though he might be as a person. Why did that young womman move in with him anyway? She had the free choice to absent herself from him. Racism is appalling, but this is not the way to do away with it.
I also agree with Diana. Why isn't the gf's motives (she is clearly heard saying "but you love me") being examined? Maybe not Stalinist but definitely Stasi-like tactics.
And I hate professional sports. There seems to be a lot of "well, we knew he was a racist, but..."
@blacksocialist from BKbaby - lol, what a joke your statement is. only white people are racist eh? i thought the 1st amendment protected everyones right to say stupid shit, regardless of race. Again he didn't break any laws or commit a crime, he was talking to his girlfriend in private. I imagine its only whites that say bad things about other races right?
On the taping: Apparently HE WANTED TO BE TAPED. Caller, the media has reported on this.
And, please:
If she set him up, then she did because SHE KNEW WHAT HE WOULD SAY, BECAUSE HE SAID IT BEFORE. Furthermore, what non-degenerate could possibly be 'baited' into saying such things?
What, are we supposed to pretend we didn't hear it, because it's not clear how we came to hear it?
For those who are interested, I'm sure they can find coverage of this sensationalist b.s. on snorts illustrated or cnn.
What's funny is that George Steinbrenner, who was convicted of trying to subvert the American electoral system, is considered a great hero in NYC. I think what he did was far worse than what Sterling said.
And, as others have already pointed out, if a player or owner makes anti-gay statements or criticize other minority groups, will they suffer the same penalties as Sterling? Or is not the bigotry but who the bigotry is against that's important?
Have to laugh when I hear people talk about how this mild incursion on the right of a billionaire to be an awful person is described as "very scary" and an attack on free speech/privacy.
Give. Me. A. Break. The man is going to walk off with a billion dollars. Chelsea Manning is in jail for 35 years for his speech. Now THAT is scary.
It is legal for a party to a conversation to record it, whether in person, on the phone or over the Internet. She had that right for her own protection. Her motivation and goal for releasing it is another thing entirely.
Brian, you obviously don't understand Hostile Workplace. Nor the 4th amendment.
Just because there's racism doesn't mean he is creating a Hostile Workplace. And if it was a government agency that invaded his home, you would, I hope, be up in arms about the warantless invasion!
I think Diana has a point about civil liberties. People should have an expectation of privacy in their homes... I also wonder what kind of response would have occurred if he had said, "Stop hanging out with those GAY people...: ? Same outcry?
"Sterling" is just typical of most of my former liberal Jewish "friends" who came out of Brownsville 50 years ago and went on to become wealthy suburbanites and now won't come visit me because they feign being fearful of a "bad" neighborhood. Of course what they mean is black neighborhood. Bunch of hypocrites from A to Z, but that why I am NOT a liberal. I'm a conservative Jews who prefers to live among most black people because I once made a living from them and I know that they are no better or worse than Jews or anybody else. There are bad and good in every group and we are all of the same species whether we choose to think otherwise.
Agree w Diane.
I def. don't wouldn't want him to continue in his current position -- but I'm guessing his full and honest explanation is much more fascinating and engaging than what has been discussed to date.
Right on, Diana. I couldn't agree with you more. No one is examining the issue of a right to private conversation and as other callers pointed out, the dubious motives of his girlfriend.
Not a pretty sight.
Brian, you started this off by saying it's a topic we all agree on. Well, look at the comments. There is NO agreement here. You blew this one big time.
To Diana- who thinks that there is a civil liberties conflict here- the person who exposed him is a private citizen. He wasn't arrested for his comments, just culturally lynched. The government had nothing to do with this exposure so your link to Stalinism and a threat to democracy is a beyond a stretch.
So I guess in this puritan nation, the only way to openly have a girlfriend when married, is to do or say something far worse...
The analogy is not Stalinist Russia, it is McCarthy's America. A private organization penalizing opinion and belief. Do a thought experiment: change the content of his statements, and then how does it look?
High Tech Lynching Charlie Barron was endorsed by
david duke of kkk low tech lynching infamy.
Charlie is known by his supporters.
brooklynmom78 - you have no idea what you are talking about, just foolish blabbering.... if you are going to comment at least have a cursory look at the facts... just pathetic
This woman is absolutely correct. Broadcasting a private conversation is completely disgusting. Let those without sin cast that stone.
Yeah, he got recorded unawares and that was wrong, but the fact is, he was always suspected of racism, and now the cat is out of the bag, however it happened, and now no one wants him around. He had bad judgement being a racist, bad judgement being a superficial old lech, and bad judgement dating a treacherous woman who would take this kind of revenge upon him after dating him obviously purely for his money. This is the price he pays. Voila. He reaped what he sowed.
Oh Martin. Once again everyone is a Jew hater in your world even though the US has bent over backward to appease Israel for 50 years to the detriment of our relationship with a billion Muslims worldwide.
Yo, big ups to Adam Silver and the players for pressuring him...But here we run the risk of focusing on the overt and the sensational, at the expense of the institutional and the much, much more deadly effects of race terror -- current and the vestiges of the past.
Also, as usual, we need guests with better race analysis.
"the other documented..."
what??? what are they, Brian!!! Stop letting him say this if you're not going to truly document them. I don't see that these other things exist!
"Stalinist state" ???
To the caller - His privacy was invaded but once his real views are known his players, and the league he belongs to have opted to disassociate.
Government had no role in this. You need to rein in your rhetoric a little bit.
He knew he was being recorded. According to his girlfriend.
No doubt, the main issue is the man's racist behavior and words and how indicative it is of systematic/classist/institutionalized socioeconomic equality, but as the line between realms of privacy and public statements continues to be blurred, we should expect the ensuing revelations of what blacks say about anglo-whites/Hispanics/Jews. etc., other whites say of said groups, men of women, women of men, etc., including.....what NBA players, sports journalists, and for that matter, anyone....say of anything and anyone anywhere anytime.
Hearing the actual conversation and comments, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of sadness. There have been many times when celebrities and people in the public eye have made racist comments or comments derogatory of certain groups in moments of anger, where they have said words to cause pain that don't necessarily reflect what is in their hearts. But Sterling's words truly reflect what is in his heart and it is so deeply dark and reprehensible.
@Sheldon from Brooklyn - No he was secretly and possibly illegally recorded and now being demonized for his beliefs. i thought free speech protected all speech and repugnant speech. he didn't comment an illegal act but there are NBA players who have and still have jobs. This is thought fascism. 1984.
Mr. Sterling should donate his $ wealth to helping young kids of all ethnic background to make a better world
@Andrea from Philadelphia - obviously he doesn't have the right because he is now being demonized publicly for secretly recorded comment made privately. who cares what he thinks! basketball isn't a morality game, its JUST a game.
Shuddered to learn this Sterling creep is Jewish. It was bad enough we had that scum Sheldon Adelson, but now this? A black mark on our tribe, fer sher.
"Anonymous from Park Slope
@martinchuzzlewit - what is "Negro" dialect? Examples please?"
YOU FOOL … you didn't read the earlier post below. Ask Harry Reid. They are HIS words-
"What racist old white guy said the following?
Back Obama is "light skinned with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" (as in when he finds it convenient to talk "black")
HARRY REID in 2008 – our Democrat Senate Majority Leader
When does he get fined millions of dollars and leave office???
Don't get me wrong, I find Sterling's comments and attitude repugnant, but the thing that I find threatening about this situation is that Stiviano taped a private conversation and released it to the public without his consent, specifically for the intention of ruining his reputation. If she's so turned off by his racism, why is she dating him anyway? Also, although his comments were inflammatory, not because he advocated violence against a group, or even used horrible language, but because a lot of people are offended by them. He broke no laws, specifically, and he's entitled to hold any beliefs that he choose, so long as he does not violate other people's rights. What happened to constitutional rights of freedom of belief and speech?
No doubt that the man is racist, but the way Brian and wnyc has handled this issue undermines everything the station says about not being sensationalist journalism. This is really not the public radio way to deal with this issue. Bad on you and wnyc.
And yes, Rembert, or whoever, should be here, and not this guy.

Is it just me, or do you find you tune out of Brian's show more lately than ever before? or that the quality of the guests have fallen? I'm worried when we lose outlets like this to this type of coverage as the world implodes around us. Guess he is more worried about ratings through controversy than quality. As some one else said, there are many other places to go for that kind of thing and as a supporter and long term listener I hope this station doesn't suffer as a result and can turn things back around. As of now, I have my doubts.
Unfortunately the guest doesn't have the analytical chops to advance this discussion.
Why is no one talking about the gender imbalance? The beginning of the audio quote Brian played had Sterling telling Stiviano she is supposed to be sweet and feminine. Really?

This entire conversation is does a great disservice so racial understanding. Firstly, the tape is a misleading entrapment, clearly guided by a scorned and manipulative woman attempting to elicit a particular response. She keeps trying to put words into his mouth, with a specific agenda, why else record a private conversation. Secondly, he may be prejudiced based on a long history of institutionalized beliefs, no surprise there, but he is no more a racist than any other person who employs minorities in a exchange that exploits the value of their labor. Prejudice is a way of thinking. Racism is an action, and this secretly recorded conversation had nothing to do with racism, it had to do with his personal beliefs, which is a fundamental right to think, or say, whatever you want. People who are attacking him based on his beliefs are attacking this fundamental right, even if we find it despicable, he has a right to be a bigot. This entire conversation is racist hysteria and an embarrassment and Wesley Morris trivializes racism. Uggh.

Now that the stain of Sterling has been cleansed from the NBA are the professional team names ever going to be changed, IE: BLACKHAWKS, BRAVES (logo) and REDSKINS? are those owners next?
Wow...I can imagine every white guy with major assets in a relationship with a black or mixed race woman now adding "...not that there's anything wrong with that." to every conversation.
Sterling was entrapped (somewhat) by his girlfriend AND by his own attitude. Too bad for him that the time ran out on his attitude. Ultimately, he'll be all right. However, this incident will push the racism that still exists within us far deeper underground.
Does the racism that exists within African-Americans get a pass because we don't have power to harm most white folks with it? Fair's fair. If they can't be racist, neither can we.
Yesterday or Monday, based on what I heard on the BLS, I didn't think it was that bad. Then I read more on another site, and Wow! did I change my mind.
I do think that she did this on purpose and was leading him down a path that would result in a tape like this, but that doesn't excuse it. (I also think some of what he said was because he just thinks she is a bimbo and he didn't think it was worth contradicting her or making a nuanced argument.)
I'd like to hear more about the technicalities of how the NBA goes about "banning" someone. Is there some kind of morals clause in the agreements that owners sign with the NBA?
The LA Clippers are not worth a Billion with Sterling as owner. This is not over the NBA almost broke and still might if Sterling does not go quickly. The Clippers can not sell ads. The team should sell for $12.5 Million.
@martinchuzzlewit - what is "Negro" dialect? Examples please?
Listen, let's none of us try to take the high road here. first off, all of these money people - even a lot of those who purport to be great liberals - end up sooner of later proving themselves racist at some point. As for the rest of us, we all have our tipping points as well (white, black, latino, purple and green, none of us are any more holy than anyone else).
as for the woman involved, she herself has no scruples. why would this young attractive woman date an old goat? money. all she is is a high dollar whore.
I am not sure this event belongs on the radio unless we open up a lot of other discussions about the rectitude and principles of a lot of other people - both in power and influence and middling americans.
a lot of dumb whites today, go figure..... marty, johnny from office, illfg, etc... you people are sad and pathetic, and predictable... cheers
I'm sure those basketball players could care less who their boss is. They are making millions. Unless the plantation workers were making milllions, then the analogy is worthless.
Well Martin Chuzzlewit, may not be yet but Israel is headed toward an apartheid state. But this isn't the topic here. Wait for the day when that topic comes up. Not everything is the world relates to Israel.
NCAA is a plantation Players get zero money
And it is in fact an NBA farm league
Anyone who defends Sterling is basically defending bigotry and stupidity without consequences.
All this outrage against the reprehensible statements by Sterling is deserved, but how are all the PUBLIC racist statements by PUBLIC officials (Charles Baron- statements too numerous to mention- Al Sharpton calling whites "interlopers" in Harlem for example)accepted and acceptable? (Charles Baron just appeared at the mayor's side at a recent public event!)
Everyone keeps repeating that Sterling has been "banned" from the NBA.
What does that even mean? He STILL owns the team, still makes money from the gate, etc.
Does it mean he's not allowed to sit in the stands?
I mean it's not as if he was suiting up and playing the game itself!
@illfg Yes, he has the right to free speech. He hasn't been arrested.
It's too bad Sterling was able to get away with his behavior, including housing rights violations, until he was caught attacking millionaires.
It's like Capone getting away with murder and finally going to jail for tax evasion.
illfg, you comments are rather naive. Did Mr. Sterling get thrown in jail by the government? The man has a right to say what he wants in public and private. The NBA, as a private organization, has the right to protect its brand.
John get back to work .. your job is not to waste my internet .. with stupid remarks
Sterling's comments are indeed repulsive; yet, isn't he being blacklisted only for his opinions expressed in a private context? He isn't being punished for discriminatory practices (at least not in this situation); only for his opinions. The whole thing is a bit chilling: could it happen to someone who expressed some other unpopular opinion? Say he endorsed socialism, for example?
So, we have heard from our two highest Democrat "Power Structure" plantation owners....Harry Reid and Joe Biden.... that Obama is light skinned, clean, articulate, sort of mainstream and has no discernible Negro dialect except when he is being devious.
Why would she even want to touch that troll.
What's hot about this guy?
@john from office - or the radioactivity of Fukishima
I over heard some "african americans" on the 6 train speaking quite scholarly about this subject. I was uplifted!
Another wasted segment. If we want this kind of thing, there are 1000 other outlets.
Don't forget what he said about Blacks in Israel... why are we leaving that out ?
There's some white guy who's a racist: I'm shocked! Shocked!
Get real! We may be on the brink of World War Three and we spend time being shocked that there are racists out there.
Or is this just a way for journalists and commentators to distance themselves from racism?
@Leo_A from NJ - no they cant see that. because he is a "racist". you dont have the right anymore to believe whatever you want. even if its wrong.
Why are we still surprised by these not so closeted bigots? Cowards like the owner of the first comment below.
STILL talking about this?
STILL don't care.
Thanks for the sound bit. wnyc is now officially no different than any other station. Brian, you've dropped several steps down with this story.
did you just say she is a victim? This show is heading for the ramp before the shark pen.
@JoeCorrao - or the stabbing of 6 people in atlanta? oh wait, old white guy talks bad about other races, BIG STORY... yawn.
What OTHER racist old white guy said THIS?
"Barack Obama is clean and articulate…..sort of mainstream"
JOE BIDEN – our esteemed DEMOCRAT Vice-President!!
When does he get the Brian Lehrer treatment? Where's the outrage?
Why was HE given a pass?
Am I the only one who sees this as some old senile man, jealous of his mistresses friends
She didn't get to a point where "she'd had enough". She was being sued! Brian, I love this station, but you are sooooo taking the bait here.
The thought police are in full effect. I hope if any black NBA players get recorded talking "racist talk" they are dealt with the same way.
No doubt Donald Sterling is a sleaze and a bigot. But, if you can't make a comment in the privacy of your own home, where is the liberty?
you guys are still licking your chops over this story. Why not talk about Snowden or manning or the government intrusion stories.
i thought the first amendment protected free speech, especially in the privacy of his own home? This is america, dont we have the right to hate who we want, regardless of whether that's morally acceptable? Did his girlfriend violate any laws recording him unknowingly and selling it? Karem Adul Jabar wrote a great article on this for Time.
This will be Brian's new Abu Garb segment. Endless shows about a old white jew acting poorly. Brian will show how offended he is and how terrible these statements are and how much he loves black people. To be followed by a show with some Rap "artists" and Spike Lee appearing as "experts".
Brian, there is a possible world war starting in Europe, let it go.
you and your guest keep saying it's "well documented", but really is it? I've not heard wnyc actually document past racism. The court case was about money, not race. Where's the actual racism, that this station is assuming exists. This program is sounding just like the stations you always say you're NOT like. sad.
What racist old white guy said the following?
Barack Obama is "light skinned with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" (as in when he finds it convenient to talk "black")
HARRY REID in 2008 – our Democrat Senate Majority Leader!
When does he get fined millions of dollars and forced out of office???
So what. A tacky rich rich dude gets himself banned from a 'GAME.'
What we should be complaining about are the disparities in society. Ever check out your local fire house in your so-called liberal city of nyc? How diverse is that?
There's a reason that 'jeopardy SNL' skit was so funny...'I'll take; Recent Black Presidents for $500.'
Funny thing, there must be strains of libertarianism running through me, because I am kinda annoyed his free speech rights are being violated...and he seemed to have given monies/supports to minority causes. I think he needs therapy not a ban.
Watching the sanctimony and hypocrisy that surrounds identity politics in the United States is far more entertaining than watching the NBA.
Hey, with all the BLS identity politics scandal mongering, where's the segment about Kerry's use of the term "apartheid state Israel" and his not so veiled threat?
Kerry wouldn't have floated that threat if the closet Jew Hater in the Oval Office hadn't let it be known that he would "have Kerry's back," and if Barack Hussein hadn't approved and crafted that type of mindset in his inner circle. They don't do things in a vacuum or they don't work for the Community Organizer very long.
Where's the outrage by the "outrage team" here?

The Northern Ireland defender has expressed his excitement about playing Liverpool at Anfield, insisting it is an opportunity which every Manchester United player relishesManchester United defender Jonny Evans has expressed his excitement at the prospect of facing Liverpool in the latest installment of a rivalry which he describes as one of the biggest in English football.
Sunday's match will be Liverpool's first at Anfield since the shocking findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel were published.
The revelations have led to tributes from other Premier League clubs, including an emotional display at Goodison Park on Monday evening when Everton paid their respects to their Merseyside rivals.
|Jonny Evans is 16/1 with William Hill to score at any time against Liverpool
"It's always a big occasion but one every Manchester United player relishes," he told reporters.
"It's something you never forget but with the atmosphere and the stick you get as well, it's all part of it.
"We enjoy that side of it and it's going to be a really big game.
"The distance thing, the Merseyside-Manchester rivalry and all the history that goes with it means it will be no different on Sunday.
"You can go through tactics and talk about how many points the teams have this season but it all goes out of the window when it comes to a Manchester United-Liverpool game. There is goodness knows how many years of rivalry to take into account as well.
"We haven't had great results away at Liverpool in the last couple of years so it's up to us to put that right."

I feel like I'm parroting my earlier post, but I just played your mission and had fun up until the bridge battle. However, the reason I had to stop was different from in the other mission. I got through the fights just fine, but after I defeated the enemies on the bridge I was supposed to talk to a crazed crewman. The problem is, there werent any. I saw them before the fight, but they must have been killed during the battle(from AOE attacks) because they were all gone afterwards. So unfortunately I was unable to complete the mission.

I would describe myself as happy and independent. I try as often as I can to find the silver lining to a situation and try to be around those who are also positive. There is nothing more important to me than my son and my family. I don't know where I would be without them. I am a bit of a goofball. If you don't have a good sense of humor, we are probably not going to get along. I love laughing and enjoy the company of those who know how to makes others laugh and who enjoy a good time. You would also need to be a patient person and not have to be my top priority. I thought I would give this site a try, but just a warning, I will always put my son first. That being said, if you aren't sure you like kids, mine will not be a guinea pig for you to ascertain you position on wanting children. Sorry if that makes me sound mean, I swear I'm not, just being an overprotective mother I suppose. I work hard for everything we have and admire a strong work ethic in others. It's great to have a goofy side, but you also have to be serious about your goals and be willing to do what it takes to make something of yourself. I am a bit of a nerd. I enjoy reading and some video games. I LOVE music. I'm not very good at talking about myself, but I am a pretty open person, so if you want to know, just ask.

Gavin Brown AO (27 February 1942 – 25 December 2010)[1] was a Scottish-born mathematician, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney between 1996 and 2008.
After attending secondary school at Madras College in St Andrews, Brown graduated with a Master of Arts degree (1st Class Honours and the Duncan Medal) from the University of St Andrews (1963), a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (1966). His academic career began at the University of Liverpool, where he became a senior lecturer in mathematics.
Brown accepted the Chair of Pure Mathematics at the University of New South Wales in 1975 when he and his family emigrated to Australia. During this time, he was awarded the Sir Edmund Whittaker Memorial Prize and the Australian Mathematical Society Medal. At the University of New South Wales, Brown held a number of academic administrative posts, including Head of the Department of Pure Mathematics, Head of the School of Mathematics, and Dean of the Faculty of Science. In 1992, he became the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Adelaide; later, in 1994, he became the Vice-Chancellor. He took up his position as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney in 1996, and retired from the university in 2008.
Brown was actively involved in the work of the Australian Research Council as a chairman of various funding committees from 1988 to 1993, and a member of the Council from 1992 to 1993. He wrote more than 100 research papers and served on the board of several international journals. His research areas were broad, including harmonic analysis, measure theory and algebraic geometry. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of St Andrews (1997) and an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Dundee (2004). In 2006, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia.[2]

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 15: Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia plays a backhand during his first round match against Joseph Sirianni of Australia on day two of the Australian Open 2008 at Melbourne Park on January 15, 2008 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
Eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic retired from his fourth-round match at the Australian Open with an injured left foot while trailing Nicolas Almagro 6-2, 5-1 on Sunday. The 10th-seeded Almagro advanced to a quarterfinal against fellow Spaniard David Ferrer, who beat Japan's Kei Nishikori in straight sets. Tipsarevic said he injured the foot while changing directions during a rally late in the seventh game of the first set, and could barely walk on it afterward.

Golf: Westwood surges clear in Malaysia as Larrazabal dives for cover
Published on Apr 18, 2014 7:53 PM
(REUTERS) - Lee Westwood surged four shots clear at the halfway stage of the golf European Tour's Malaysian Open on Friday, after an eventful second round where Spain's Pablo Larrazabal was forced to dive into a lake to avoid a swarm of hornets.
The former world No. 1 Englishman took his two-day total to 13-under 131 after a six-under-par 66 and put himself in prime position to end an almost two-year trophy drought.
Filipino Antonio Lascuna and Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts were his nearest challengers at nine-under.
Westwood has been without a win since claiming the 2012 Nordea Masters in Sweden and the trophy-less spell has seen his world ranking slip to 36.

Antoine Jones didn't mention his prior felony drug-dealing convictions in Virginia and the District on the application he filled out to receive a liquor license from the D.C. government.
Hu's Chain to Branch out into Food
As GM has previously reported, one of the seven new liquor licenses is likely to be issued to Hu's Wear LLC. This was a real headscratcher because Hu's Wear is a clothing store, the sister to Hu's Shoes.

It turned out to be an easier job than I thought it was going to be. Of course, I was still a bit surprised it worked right and didn't leak once I was done. I started by taking off the servo that opens up the drain valve. I didn't think I could take out and replace the shaft seal from this position so I took the whole motor and drain assembly out by loosening the sump and pump clamps. This allowed me to wiggle out the whole mechanism. One plug and a ground wire had to be undone but that was it. The Push On Nut was the worst part - pain to take off - worse to get a new one on. I wasn't sure (still not) if I could get it in the right place. Once I got everything back together and the servo mount on it seemed to hold the nut in the right place.I tested it and yelled "it doesn't leak!" my wife promptly said "Yet!".We have run the dishwasher twice - so far - no leaks! I couldn't have done it with out PartSelect's prompt service, diagrams, and part photos. I don't want to fix any more appliances but if I have to PartSelect is where I'll come for parts and diagrams.

Northumbria Police is the territorial police force responsible for policing the areas of Northumberland and Tyne and Wear in North East England.
Northumbria Police is the sixth largest police force in England and Wales with 3,508 police officers, 1,514 police staff, 261 special constables and 208 police community support officers (as at 1 October 2014).[2] The force headquarters are nominally located in Ponteland, Northumberland – the site being a former teacher training campus. However, significant numbers of functions have been dispersed to various locations throughout the force area as part of plans to reduce costs, with the stated intention of operating without a traditional headquarters function.[3] The current Chief Constable is Sue Sim who was appointed by Northumbria Police Authority on 20 April 2011.[4] and former chief constables include Sir Stanley Bailey (1975–1991); John Stevens, Baron Stevens of Kirkwhelpington (1991–1996); Crispian Strachan CBE (1998–2005) and Mike Craik (2005–2010).
Northumbria is Home Office force 10.
The force was formed in 1974 and was a merger of the old Northumberland Constabulary along with part of the Durham Constabulary. The police forces for the county boroughs of South Shields, Gateshead, Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne Borough Police and Tynemouth had already been amalgamated into their respective county forces in the late 1960s, with the Berwick-upon-Tweed police having been merged into Northumberland in 1921.[5]
Under proposals made by the Home Secretary on 6 February 2006, it would merge with Cleveland Police and Durham Constabulary to form a single strategic police force for the North East England. Both Northumbria and Durham favoured this proposal, while Cleveland expressed a wish that it be merged with the southern area of the Durham force.[6][7] All proposals regarding force mergers have since been dropped nationwide.
In July 2010, Raoul Moat targeted Northumbria Police officers after his release from Durham Prison. A manhunt was started by Northumbria Police with assistance from Durham Constabulary, Cleveland Police, Cumbria Police, West Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Police, and Humberside Police.[8] As the situation developed over a period of days, more support was made available with the Metropolitan Police sending 40 firearms officers, most specialised in the use of sniper rifles. Also, the Police Service of Northern Ireland sent 20 armoured Mitsubishi Shoguns to help in the search on rough terrain in Northumberland.[9]
In April 2014, Northumbria Police came under controversy when they threatened teenagers with an ASBO for building a den out of sticks in the woods.[10]
Command team[edit]
- Chief Constable – Sue Sim[11]
- Deputy Chief Constable – Steve Ashman[12]
- Assistant Chief Constable – Jo Farrell[13]
- Assistant Chief Constable – Winton Keenen[14]
- Assistant Chief Officer – Bernie McArdle[15]
Divisional structure[edit]
Northumbria Police is currently divided into six Area Commands with numerous stations within:[16]
|Area Command
|Gillbridge (city centre), Houghton le Spring, Farringdon, Southwick, Washington
|covering the local council area of Sunderland[17]
|South Tyneside
|South Shields
|covering the local council area of South Tyneside[18]
|Gateshead, Whickham
|covering the local council area of Gateshead[19]
|North Tyneside
|North Shields, Whitley Bay, Forest Hall, Wallsend
|covering the local council area of North Tyneside[20]
|Forth Banks (city centre), Etal Lane, Clifford Street, Westgate Road
|covering the local council area of Newcastle upon Tyne[21]
|Ashington, Bedlington, Blyth, Cramlington, Alnwick, Berwick, Prudhoe, Hexham, Morpeth
|covering the local council area of Northumberland[22]
On 1 April 2015, the existing six area commands will be merged into three.[23] The new area commands, each led by a Chief Superintendent, will be as follows:
- North - covering the local authority areas of Northumberland and North Tyneside, with its headquarters at Middle Engine Lane police station in Wallsend.
- Central - covering the local authority areas of Newcastle and Gateshead, with its headquarters at Etal Lane police station in Newcastle upon Tyne.
- South - covering the local authority areas of Sunderland and South Tyneside, with its headquarters at South Shields police station.
Neighbourhood policing[edit]
Northumbria Police has numerous teams dedicated to neighbourhood policing attached to the area commands as the table below outlines:[24]
|Area Command
|Neighbourhood Policing Teams
|Houghton; Sunderland Central; Sunderland East; Sunderland North; Sunderland South; Sunderland West;
|South Tyneside
|East Shields, Cleadon and Whitburn; Jarrow and Hebburn; West Shields and Riverside
|Central Gateshead; East Gateshead; South Gateshead; Inner West Gateshead; Metro Centre Gateshead; Outer West
|North Tyneside
|North Shields; Whitley Bay; Killingworth; Wallsend
|Newcastle North West; Newcastle North; Newcastle West; Newcastle City; Newcastle East; Newcastle East Riverside
|Bedlington; Blyth; Cramlington; Ashington; Morpeth; Alnwick; Berwick; West Tynedale; East Tynedale
There are two inter-operable communication centres:
- Northern Communication Centre (NCC) which deals with all stations and commands North of the Tyne, based at Force HQ in Ponteland.
- Southern Communication Centre (SCC) which deals with all stations and commands South of the Tyne, based at South Shields.
Officers killed in the line of duty[edit]
The Police Memorial Trust lists and commemorates all British police officers killed in the line of duty, and since its establishment in 1984 has erected over 38 memorials to some of those officers.
Since 1900, the following officers of Northumbria Police and its predecessors are listed by the Trust as having been killed while attempting to prevent, stop or solve a criminal act:[25]
- PC George Bertram Mussell KPM, 1913 (shot)
- Sgt Andrew Barton, 1913 (shot)
- PC George William Wheatley, 1957 (fell from roof while searching for a suspect)
- PC Brian Armstrong, 1966 (stabbed)
- PC Daniel Buckley, 1982 (fell through roof while pursuing a burglar)
- PC Bernard Leslie Bull, 1991 (collapsed and died during an arrest)
- Sgt William Forth, 1993 (stabbed)
- PC Joseph Geoffrey Carroll, 2006 (the prisoner he was transporting caused the vehicle to crash, fatally injuring the officer)
- PC Keith Blakelock, 1985 (killed during the Broadwater Farm riots while attempting to protect a fire crew)

The Exit poll results for Lok Sabha elections have thrown up interesting permutations and combinations. Riding high on Congress' anti-incumbency factor, Bharatiya Janata Party will win maximum seats according to various polls including the CVoters poll, Times Now and CNN-IBN surveys.
While states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal have always been non-BJP strong-hold, the newly crafted BJP campaign to present Narendra Modi as the Prime Ministerial candidate has worked wonders for the party. BJP has managed to make a dent into the Mayawati-Samajwadi-Akhilesh Yadav bastion according to exit poll surveys.
Below were the highlights for Gujarat:
BJP will get 22 out of 26 seats in Gujarat, Congress will get 4 seats according to Times Now.
According to CVoter survey, the BJP in Gujarat is predicted to acquire 22 seats, as opposed to Congress which is predicted to gain only four seats. Read more

Below were the highlights for West Bengal:
TMC 38% of the vote in Bengal, Left parties will get 37% according to Times Now.
*West Bengal has 42 seats. While Congress will win 5 seats, BJP will win 2 seats. TMC will win 20 and form the majority while Left parties will win a measly 5 seats.
As per Times Now Exit polls, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress is expected to show a rise this election. The party is expected to win 27 seats out of the 42 seats from West Bengal. Read more
Below were the highlights for Jharkhand:
According to CNN-IBN, BJP will jump to a whooping 44% vote share from 27% in 2009. The BJP is expected to win 10-11 seats in this state and the Congress which is in alliance will fall to 21% share from 30% in 2009.
The Jharkhand Vikas Morcha to remain stable at 11% and the vote is supposed to swing towards BJP in North Jharkhand.
In an interaction with CNN-IBN, BJP member Jayant Sinha disagrees, says BJP will win 12-14 seats in Jharkhand.
Below were the highlights for Bihar:
According to a report by Times Now, Pawan Verma, adviser to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar disagrees with 28 seats for BJP, says it will get much less. Panelists trash Bihar figures, say Lalu (RJD) cannot get 0 seats. RJD is projected to get 20% vote share in Bihar but no seats.
According to CNN-IBN, BJP could emerge as the masters of Uttar Pradesh. JDU will finish last with 15% vote share down by 9% from 2009 while in Bihar, Congress which will secure 29% which translates to about 11-15 seats in this state.
Below are some statistics from Uttar Pradesh by CNN-IBN

Our capacity to adapt is dependent on a wide range of factors with complex institutional arrangements: production strategies, land and water governance, social support systems, household and gender dynamics, availability of weather and climate information, and interaction with external actors, among others. The interaction between local and national institutions is also an important, and often complex, factor.

Two Christmases ago, my husband gave me a lemon tree for my garden. Last month, after I spent a whole year waiting and watering and wringing my hands, it finally produced one full-grown lemon.
For awhile, the lemon looked more or less yellow, but I held off on picking it because it still had a blush of green on the underside. I had elaborate plans for it: I would give it as an offering to the Morrigan, my matron deity, and dry the skin for magical work. I would use the juice for some very special dish or drink--a sacred mojito, maybe! I dreamed and planned and admired my lemon until one day, it disappeared.

Nuclear translocation of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) determines cell fate after hypoxia ischemia in neonatal brain.

The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are emerging as key proteins in the control of cell death. In this study, we evaluated the expression and subcellular distribution of the antiapoptotic protein X-linked IAP (XIAP), and its interactions with the XIAP-associated factor 1 (XAF1) in neonatal rat brain following hypoxia-ischemia (HI). HI triggered the mitochondrial release of cytochrome c, Smac/DIABLO, and caspase 3 activation. Confocal microscopy detected XIAP-specific immunofluorescence in the cytoplasm under normal condition, which exhibited a diffuse distribution at 6 h post-HI and by 12 h the majority of XIAP was redistributed into the nucleus. XIAP nuclear translocation was confirmed by subcellular fractionations and by expressing FLAG-tagged XIAP in primary cortical neurons. Over-expression of XIAP significantly reduced, whereas XIAP gene silencing further enhanced cell death, demonstrating a specific requirement of cytoplasmic XIAP for cell survival. An elevated level of cytosolic XIAP was also evident under the conditions of neuroprotection by fibroblast growth factor-1. XAF1 expression was increased temporally and there was increased nuclear co-localization with XIAP in hypoxic-ischemic cells. XIAP co-immunoprecipitated > 9-fold XAF1 protein concurrent with decreased association with caspases 9 and 3. This is evidenced by the enhanced caspase 3 activity and neuronal death. Our findings implicate XIAP nuclear translocation in neuronal death and point to a novel mechanism in the regulation of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Not the flowers – this photo was taken back in August – but me, defying the gray days by showing the bright orange petals overcoming the drab background.Tags: #featured

Wonderful vivid petals!
Thanks for defying Winter with this lovely orange flower photograph!
We're starting to see the green shoots of the daffodils come up already. What a strange non-winter it has been.
Oh so pretty Wren! We have had only 2 inches of snow this winter, tons of gray skies, tornado warnings, and today sunshine with a high of 65…pretty crazy~
…a perfect antidote, and I needed it!
We have been having a very mild winter, so far! But, I am still longing for spring and to see flowers in my yard again. Your orange flowers are gorgeous and would brighten up any gray winter day. Lovely photo, have a great week!
I posted some summertime photos, too! After the summer we had last year, I'm hoping for a stellar season this year to make up for everything I missed! I sure got a lot of sewing done, however. Hang in there! The days are getting longer and before you know it, spring will be here. Early, too, I think.

DJ Baba Kahn ft. Kardinal Offishall, Fatman Scoop & Sunny Brown - Tonight
Artist: DJ Baba Kahn
Featuring: Kardinal Offishall, Fatman Scoop
Producer: Baba Kahn Lomaticc
Album: Culture Shock East Meets West
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 39 votes )
The current trend of major DJs releasing full-length compilation albums has expanded north of the border, as Toronto's DJ Baba Khan released his own set, Culture Shock: East Meets West, this past March. One of the hit singles spawned from the album is Tonight, featuring the king of Toronto hip-hop, Kardinal Offishall, as well as Montreal R&B singer Sunny Brown. Adding additional energy to the track, veteran hypeman Fatman Scoop gets everybody moving on the dance floor and Baba Khan (under his alias of Lomaticc) provides a techno club-ready beat. Culture Shock has become almost as big as hockey, beer, and drinking beer while watching hockey in Canada; will it be able to cross over to the States? Only time will tell.
