"It could have been a train wreck, honestly," point guard Mike Conley said.

"This is what hurts us in politics today," Wharton said five years later during the first fundraiser Monday, Nov. 17, in his campaign for re-election to a second full four-year term as mayor. "Everybody wants to stand up and say how is this going to go over. And if it doesn't look like it's going to go over well, they back down."
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. told a group of supporters Monday, Nov. 17, at his first re-election fundraiser that he is running to win and in the race for a second full term to stay.

Democrats have retained their seven-vote majority on the new single-district Shelby County Commission that takes office Sept. 1.
That and the re-election victory of Democratic incumbent Cheyenne Johnson in the race for Shelby County Assessor of Property were the only bright spots for a divided local Democratic Party that lost every other countywide partisan elected position to Republicans in the Aug. 7 county general election, just as they lost every countywide position to Republicans four years earlier.

After a bit of a breather, all sides in City Hall's simmering political dispute over health insurance changes for city employees and retirees sat down at the same table Tuesday, July 29, and offered a few new directions.
The idea of a sales tax hike referendum in November to fund a restoration of cuts in city health care insurance benefits keeps rolling.
The Memphis chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference came out in favor of the citywide local option sales tax hike Tuesday, July 22, after a closed luncheon attended by leaders of municipal unions and Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. is trying to turn the page on the emotional City Hall debate over cuts in health insurance benefits to city employees and retirees and also close the book on the city budget for the two-week old fiscal year.
The ad hoc committee that gathered municipal union leaders, city retirees and Memphis City Council members at the same table to talk about city health insurance meets Thursday, July 17, for the first time since the council approved health insurance plan changes that have drawn vocal protests from city employees and retirees.
Memphis City Council members fielded several plans Tuesday, July 15, for alternatives to health insurance cuts approved by the council last month. But leaders of the police and fire unions were not among those making an alternative proposal at the committee session, the first in a series of what amount to public hearings.
For about a year, Memphis Fire Department Director Alvin Benson has been taking ladder trucks out of service to deal with firefighters on vacation and on sick leave at much lower levels than those that surfaced Wednesday.
The president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber says efforts by municipal union leaders to boycott business members of the chamber and get those businesses to drop their chamber membership is having only a minimal effect.
As Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong has watched the number of police officers on sick leave grow and top 550, so has much of the city.
Armstrong and the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. have gone public in not just talking about the impact but putting numbers to it.
When several hundred firefighters, police officers and other city employees and retirees formed a picket line around City Hall Tuesday, June 24, it signaled the beginning of an escalating political dispute bigger than the City Council's decision a week earlier to cut health insurance benefits for employees and retirees.
The leaders of the Memphis police and fire unions say they will sue the city over changes in employee health insurance approved this month and are prepared to add pension changes to the litigation if the council approves those changes next month.
The city's operating and capital budgets are just about set for the new fiscal year next month. Hard decisions made about health insurance for city employees and retirees Tuesday, June 17, are unlikely to be revisited by the Memphis City Council.
Former Shelby County Commissioner Deidre Malone took the early vote in the three-way Democratic primary for Shelby County Mayor.
The first results of the Tuesday, May 6, election night showed Malone leading rivals county commissioner Steve Mulroy and former Shelby County Schools board member Kenneth Whalum Jr.
A turbulent week at the Criminal Justice Center for the Memphis Police Department is the lead-in for a critical week at City Hall in the unfunded pension liability discussion.
Leaders of the Memphis Police Association and other municipal unions will be part of the discussions this week on the size of that unfunded liability and what steps the city should take to put city finances on a more sustainable basis.

Ford 7,342 66%

Aside from Leatherwood, Jimmy Moore is the only other of the seven clerks seeking re-election. Moore ran unopposed in the GOP primary. He will face Democrat Ricky Dixon in August.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Election season is a driving factor behind a push by lawmakers for an early conclusion of the legislative session. It might also be to blame for keeping the session from immediately kicking into high gear.
Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell appeared on his way to the Republican nomination for Shelby County mayor at Thursday's noon filing deadline for candidates on the May 4 primary ballot.
Luttrell faces only token opposition from perennial candidate Ernie Lunati.
Meanwhile, the Democratic primary for mayor grew to three contenders as General Sessions Court Clerk Otis Jackson filed his qualifying petition just before the deadline. He joins interim County Mayor Joe Ford and Shelby County Commissioner Deidre Malone.
Luttrell ruled out a bid for Shelby County mayor last year (2009). But when Harold Byrd decided not to run in the Democratic primary, some local GOP leaders asked Luttrell to reconsider.
The result touched off a scramble of candidates from both parties for the open sheriff's office. But before the noon deadline, the initial field of over a dozen possible contenders was narrowed to ten – six Democrats and four Republicans.
The other surprise at the filing deadline was the return of attorney Walter Bailey to the District 2 Position 1 seat he gave up in the 2006 elections. Bailey sought re-election then to another term despite a two term limit on commissioners. Bailey lost to J.W. Gibson who decided not to seek re-election. He also lost a court fight to overturn the term limits.
Bailey was the only candidate who had filed for the seat at the Thursday deadline.
Only one incumbent county commissioner – Republican Mike Ritz -- was effectively re-elected at the deadline because he had no opposition.
All but one of the eleven contested County Commission races will be decided with the May 4 primaries. The only general election battle for the August ballot is the district 5 contest between GOP challenger Dr. Rolando Toyos and whoever wins the May Democratic primary between incumbent Steve Mulroy and Jennings Bernard.
Former County Commissioner John Willingham also returned to the ballot among a field of Republican contenders in the primary for Shelby County Trustee.
And former Criminal Court Clerk Minerva Johnican joined the Democratic primary field for her old job. Incumbent Republican Bill Key pulled petition to seek re-election but did not file at the deadline.
Here is the list of races and contenders from The Shelby County Election Commission. All candidate have until noon Feb. 25 to withdraw from the ballot if they wish.

I'm not a real fan of Evolution as a mail client. It does
a good job don't get me wrong. I'm just not a real fan. With
that said, I may take a look at it.
> You might also consider KOrganizer.
Really I think you mean Kontact which is the megapackage
which include KOrganizer along with Kaddressbook.
I have used Kaddressbook but was not fully happy with it. I
have not looked at Kontact or KOrganizer yet. Again I may.
I have taken a quick look at Osmo and it is closer to what
I want but still not fully there.
As both you and Rich pointed out I am looking for a PIM. In
years gone past I used a deadtree version of a PIM based on
the Franklin Daytimer Organizer. While the Daytimer had
limits (being a deadtree for one) it had most of the
features (except for an real event reminder alarm) I'm
looking for. Also in the past I used the old Unix
command 'calendar' used an plain text .calendar file
containing a date field and a value field. It was nice
to use as a birthday reminder but it was poor for the
adhoc non-repeating events as it would only run once a
day and require hand editing the file.
I should also say while Sunbird was a fair PIM it was not
really what I was looking for either. To handle events it
required to leave Sunbird up and running all of the time
(no daemon process to deal with event reminders). I also
was not really happy with the syncing of data.
Now with all of that said (and what has been said before)
my ideal PIM is really more complex then what I have been
saying. Beside being iCal and Vcard base I would like to
be able to sync my laptop PIM with a PIM on my main server.
The main server PIM would handle most of the event reminders
for any client which currently has a live connection to
the main PIM. In the case where the laptop is away from the
main server it would handle the event reminders locally.
For both versions of the PIM I do not want to be forced to
use a web GUI. I really want a standalone GUI so my laptop
can be (as I'm calling it, as thin as possible. No
Apache/PHP|Perl|Ruby stack require. Just a standard Linux
program which can be started via the command line or the
menu via Gnome or KDE (with a very lite weight daemon
to handle events reminders).
Also as Rick mention I have seen a number of PIMs which
seem to bloat up and have creepy featurism. They start to
turn into a full E-mail client (such as Lightning/Thunderbird
and Evolution) or they start to move more toward a CRM (such as
SugarCRM). Also most are now moving toward web base requiring
a web server. Myself I don't need to be able to store images
of a customer Gold Fish in my PIM. I also don't need to have
a 4 generation family history for a contact.
I should also say, yes I know that if I have an address book
in my PIM I may/will desire to share it with the E-mail client
in the future. But the same could be said about a softphone.
To me the PIM should be the central core and the other clients
(E-mail, softphone, browser) should be able to query the PIM
database as needed. This would be a change of mind set from
the current method.
BTW thanks for the discussion. I'm finding it helpful and I
hope others may also gain something from the discussion. At
present I'm not sure I will find the type of PIM I'm looking

Coach Kwesi Appiah of the Ghana Black Stars has revealed that Anthony Annan had picked up an injury during a friendly being played with the Pharaoh's.
The midfielder was withdrawn after 25 minutes into the start of the pre-Nations Cup warm up match at the Zayed Sports Complex in Abu Dhabi against the Pharaohs after landing awkwardly following a tackle.
He was replaced by Derek Boateng.
But minutes after the game which Ghana won 3-0, the Black Stars coach confirmed that Annan's ankle problem was not too serious as feared initially.
It is not a big deal as been speculated, "He didn't land well but according to the doctor, it's not a big deal. He should be up training on Friday or the next day."
Annan will be making his fourth appearance for the Afcon this year.

Kieron Pollard and Denesh Ramdin saved the West Indies from a humiliating defeat and engineered a three-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the first one-day international at the National Stadium in Grenada.
Reeling at 34 for five in reply to the tourists' total of 217 for nine, Pollard's commanding 89 and Ramdin's polished 74 turned the match on its head, their 145-run sixth-wicket partnership transforming the improbability of victory into a leisurely canter by the time the winning runs were hit by Jason Holder in the 40th over.
They played positively and exposed the limitations of the Bangladeshi bowling attack as visiting captain Mushfiqur Rahim was at his wit's end to stem the flow of runs following the early clatter of wickets.
Medium-pacer Al-Amin Hossain emerged with the bowling honours, taking three of the first five wickets to fall and finishing with four for 51.
He added the scalp of Pollard, who fell to an outstanding outfield catch by Mahmudullah as the big-hitting right-hander attempted to heave another six to take him closer to a hundred and his team nearer to victory.
"It was good to be able to put my head down together with Denesh to bring the match home," said Pollard. "No-one needs to remind me about that. I know what I have to do and I'm glad I was able to deliver today."
Anamul Haque's workmanlike hundred held the Bangladesh innings together as the visitors reached 217 for nine batting first.
Put in on a pitch that made free scoring difficult, the opening batsman's 109 was essential to giving the innings some respectability with more senior players in the batting order failing to contribute significantly.
Fellow opener Tamim Iqbal and lower-order player Nasir Hossain were the next best contributors with 26 runs apiece. "We were probably 20-25 runs short of being really competitive," said Musfiqur after the match.
"Our bowlers did a good job up front but after taking those early wickets we couldn't sustain the effort."
Dwayne Bravo was the most successful West Indies bowler, finishing with four for 32, including the wickets of Mashrafe Mortaza and Anamul in the final over of the innings.
"There's a lot of room for improvement because the top order of the batting, including myself, let us down again," said Bravo in reflecting on the victory.
"The bowlers did their part definitely. We just need the batting to come up trumps."
Anamul's knock occupied 138 deliveries during which he struck 11 fours and the lone six of the innings, a top-edged hook off fast-medium bowler Ravi Rampaul.
The 21-year-old's two ODI hundreds have both come against the West Indies, his top score remaining the 120 compiled in the series in Bangladesh at the end of 2012.
He lost Tamim after an opening stand of 41, the left-hander miscuing an attempted pull off Holder for Pollard to take the catch at short mid-wicket.
Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals until Nasir joined Anamul at 141 for five in the 34th over, the pair putting on 53 for the sixth wicket and giving the innings a bit of momentum before Nasir departed, caught …continued »

Today, April 12th 2011, is the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
This explanation from The NASA Astronomy Pic of the Day archive:
On April 12th, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alexseyevich Gagarin became the first human in space. His remotely controlled Vostok 1 spacecraft lofted him to an altitude of 200 miles and carried him once around planet Earth. Commenting on the first view from space he reported, "The sky is very dark; the Earth is bluish. Everything is seen very clearly". His view could have resembled this image taken in 2003 from the International Space Station. Alan Shepard, the first US astronaut, would not be launched until almost a month later and then on a comparatively short suborbital flight. Born on March 9, 1934, Gagarin was a military pilot before being chosen for the first group of cosmonauts in 1960. As a result of his historic flight he became an international hero and legend. Killed when his MIG jet crashed during a training flight in 1968, Gagarin was given a hero's funeral, his ashes interred in the Kremlin Wall. Twenty years later, on yet another April 12th, in 1981, NASA launched the first space shuttle.

YIELD: Makes 4 first-course servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 45 min (not including smoking)
Put oven rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
Toss bread with oil and kosher salt and spread in 1 layer in a large shallow baking pan, then bake until golden, about 12 minutes.
Whisk together Sherry vinegar, mustard, pepper, and salt to taste in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
Fry duck slices in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until browned, about 3 minutes per batch (use caution; fat will splatter). Transfer duck breast bacon with tongs to a paper-towel-lined platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add distilled vinegar and bring to a simmer.
Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
Gently transfer eggs with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper.
Toss frisée and croutons with dressing. Serve salad topped with duck bacon and eggs.
Cooks' notes:
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cold-smoked duck breast or regular bacon (1/2 lb).
The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked. If salmonella is a problem in your area, poach until yolks are fully cooked.

Sheree and I were deeply saddened to learn of Bob Lay's passing earlier today. I was lucky to work closely with and learn from Bob for years, including during my time at the state and local level in Florida and here at FEMA. Like many of my colleagues, I consider him a friend, mentor and role model.
Bob embodied the mission of disaster management through his strong emphasis on preparedness, response and recovery. He brought a sense of true professionalism to the field and helped build a great respect for the work that first responders, emergency managers, non-profit organizations, and other members of the team do every day to protect their communities. Among his many accomplishments, he helped lead response and recovery efforts through many of Florida's most severe hurricanes and was appointed by the Department of Defense to serve as its top point of contact for operations during Hurricane Andrew. Earlier in his career, he was a valued member of the FEMA team and remained a member of our extended family. In recent years provided FEMA with strategic counsel during his service as a key member of our National Advisory Council.
Throughout his career in Brevard County, Bob was a great friend to Florida's Space Coast, working closely with our partners at Cape Canaveral to support many shuttle launches and missions. Bob's passing is a tremendous loss for the people of Florida and for all of us across the emergency management community. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
More on the life and career of Bob Lay in the Orlando Sentinel, Brevard Times, and Central Florida News 13.
