SCI Mission Statement: The mission of Springfield College in Illinois is to provide students the best liberal arts education in the Ursuline tradition of a nurturing faith-based environment. We prepare students for a life of learning, leadership and service in a diverse world. IV. Goals, objectives and outcomes: A. Goals: 1. To understand the chronology and evolution of American literature from the end of the nineteenth century into the twenty-first century. 2. To understand significant themes and patterns associated with writings by American authors. 3. To become familiar with key American authors. 4. To make connections between various "texts," including but not limited to print and film. 5. To develop analytical expression in both writing and oral presentation. B. Common Student Learning Objectives: CK-1 Content Knowledge (Lifelong learning): Know and apply the central concepts of the subject matter CK-1 Content Knowledge (Lifelong learning): Use current research to support assumptions and beliefs CS-1 Communication Skills (Lifelong learning and leadership): Communicate effectively in oral and written forms PS-2 Problem-Solving Skills (Lifelong learning and leadership):Seek information and develop an in-depth knowledge base, grounded in research SR-2 Social Responsibility (Service and Leadership): Make ethical and informed decisions SP-1 Self-Direction and Personal Growth (Lifelong learning): Develop a sense of intellectual curiosity GP-1 Global Perspectives (Diversity): Recognize the importance of diversity of opinion, abilities and cultures. C. Course Based Student Learning Objectives: Students who have successfully completed ENGLISH 230 will be able to . . . 1. Explore together and individually the visions and values, the norms and the human experiences embodied in the works of women authors. (CK-1, SR-1, SR-2, GP-1, SP-1) 2. Develop an insight into female and male roles in society as defined by cultures and as demonstrated in fiction from the viewpoint of women authors. (CK-1, SR-1, SR-2, GP-1) 3. Examine various techniques used by authors to create meaning in texts. (CK-1) http://www.wcusd15.org/morrissey/english228nhf2006.htm (2 of 9)4/18/2007 3:41:20 PM Studies in American Literature 2 4. Develop the ability to listen to others' opinions, and to communicate one's own opinion in class discussions, written work, and presentations. (CK-1, CS-1, SR-3, GP-1, SP-1) 5. Develop the power of reflection and the ability to formulate questions in response to literature and critical articles about the literature. (PS-1, PS-3) 6. Develop the ability to make critical judgments in response to literature and to support those judgments through analysis. (CK-1, CK-2, CS-1, PS-1, SR-1). V. Teaching Methodology: The classroom is considered a discourse community in which students collaborate in the learning process. Students will be involved in peer work, group discussions, pre- and rewriting activities, and projects. There will be intervention in students' writing process, and response to student writing, by both the instructor and other students. To be successful, students must come to class prepared, which means having all reading and writing assignments done before they are due. VI. Course Requirements: Attendance: As in every other class, absences will negatively affect your grade. To avoid class disruption, students must be seated by 6:00. Arriving between 6:00 and 6:05 will be considered a "late" (three lates equal one-half hour absence); between 6:05 and 6:30, one-half hour absence; between 6:30 and 7:00, one hour absence; etc. Missing an entire class session equals 4.0 hours. Missing six hours is an automatic F, regardless of a student's current grade. Your goal should be to attend all classes and to have an absence only when it is a true emergency. If you know you are going to be absent (or late), you should contact me as early as possible. This will not "excuse" the absence, but it is considered the appropriate behavior in college. College is like a job in this respect: If you were going to miss work, you presumably would call your supervisor in advance -- you would not simply fail to come to work, then wander in the next time you were scheduled (if so, you would not be scheduled a next time). You are responsible for making multiple copies to share with the instructor and your classmates when the syllabus requires it; and, by the same token, if you are absent on a day when you are to distribute your work, it is your responsibility to get the copies to your instructor and your classmates. Failure to do so will result in your receiving a zero for the assignment. If providing multiple copies of your work is a problem, speak to me in advance (NOT the evening they are to be distributed). Behavior: Be attentive to the instructor and your classmates. Private conversations and jokes are rude and disruptive. Turn off your cell phone too. http://www.wcusd15.org/morrissey/english228nhf2006.htm (3 of 9)4/18/2007 3:41:20 PM Studies in American Literature 2 Work: 1. Completion of all assigned readings and writings according to given deadlines. 2. In-class and out-of-class assignments. 3. Participation in peer activities, sharing of written work, and group discussions. 4. Active involvement in mechanics of all writing projects, including posting responses to the turnitin.com discussion board. 5. Conferences regarding writing assignments as needed. 6. Final project. VII. Evaluation Criteria: There are numerous required activities for this course, and not all of them will be graded. Work (generally described as "homework") that does not receive a numerical score, may be given one of three grades: A check mark indicates an assignment was completed in an acceptable and timely manner; a plus signifies that an assignment was completed with special thoroughness and accuracy; a minus signifies that an effort was substandard. Each check is worth one point; a plus 1.5 points, and a minus .5; the total will be multiplied by an appropriate number determined by the instructor to establish a homework grade. Students are expected to complete all assignments, graded or not. Points will be deducted for issues of misspelling and nonstandard mechanics according to the SCI English/Speech Department Guidelines for the Evaluation of Formal Composition (unless the departures from standard written practice are knowingly done for creative effect). Late papers will not be accepted, and each will be scored as a zero. Assignments are due even if you are not physically in class. Plagiarism -- presenting the ideas or words of another as if they are one's own -- is literary dishonesty and will not be tolerated. Nor will others forms of academic dishonesty be tolerated. If the instructor deems that the plagiarism is a willful attempt to cheat, the student will receive a zero for the paper with no opportunity to revise, and the SCI administration will be notified. Midsemester grades will be based on work completed and graded at that time. Final Grade will be based on a percentage of the total score: A- to A+ = 90 to 100%; B- to B+ = 80 to 89%; C- to C+ = 70 to 79%; D- to D+ = 60 to 69%. Note that plus and minus will be affixed to the letter grade as deemed appropriate by the instructor based on various factors, including attendance, work ethic, attitude, and overall participation. http://www.wcusd15.org/morrissey/english228nhf2006.htm (4 of 9)4/18/2007 3:41:20 PM Studies in American Literature 2 Incomplete grades: According to the SCI catalog, students requesting an incomplete grade for a class must have completed at least 75% of the course work. It is my policy that students must make a request to me in writing no later than one week before final exams explaining in detail why they cannot finish the remainder of the coursework. Acceptable reasons are student illness requiring bed rest or hospitalization, major family crisis, or circumstances beyond the student's control. I will only issue an incomplete grade at my discretion. Directions for Written Work: Keep all assignments, formal and informal, prewriting, revisions, and final drafts until final grades are received. On the first out-of-class literary analysis, students may earn back all points deducted for errors by making the appropriate corrections and submitting the revised story along with the previous draft within one week of its being returned to the student. Out-of-class Paper Requirements: Each paper must be . . . 1. Typed (printed) in 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced. 2. Presented in MLA style and format (see A Writer's Reference (from ENG 111 or 112)), or another printed or online MLA source, like the following: http://www.library.ilstu.edu/assets/pdf/handouts/mlaprint.pdf (print sources) http://www.mlb.ilstu.edu/ressubj/subject/intrnt/mla.htm (electronic & online sources) 3. Three to five pages in length (not including required Works Cited page) and represent a "completed" paper. 4.

Instructor assessment: You are invited to visit RateMyProfessor.com, and give your instructor an informal evaluation.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Randall Delgado spun a three-hit shutout Friday, as the Arizona Diamondbacks routed the San Diego Padres, 10-0, in the opener of a three-game set at Chase Field.
Delgado (3-3) struck out three and walked just one over his efficient outing, needing exactly 100 pitches to notch his first career shutout. The 23-year-old right-hander added a pair of hits at the plate, becoming the first Arizona pitcher to toss a shutout and notch a multi-hit game since Randy Johnson in 2003.
"He was in total command tonight," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said of Delgado. "He's been really good and he's kind of been building up to this; he's just got some good stuff."
Cliff Pennington and Martin Prado collected three hits and an RBI apiece, while A.J. Pollock, Aaron Hill and Cody Ross each plated a pair of runs and scored once for the Diamondbacks, who have won two straight and three of their last four.
San Diego starter Eric Stults (8-9) had a forgettable outing, surrendering seven runs -- five earned -- on 11 hits over five frames to absorb the loss.
"I didn't give us a chance to win from the start," Stults admitted.
Chase Headley doubled for the lone extra-base hit of the game for the Padres, who had won three of their last four games coming into the contest.
Arizona pushed two runs across in each of its first three at-bats against Stults to jump out to an early advantage.
Pollock led off with a single before Hill followed with a double to make it 1-0. After Paul Goldschmidt fanned, Prado singled home Hill.
Pennington got things started in the second with a one-out single before Delgado put down a bunt. Stults quickly fielded the ball, but fired wildly to first, allowing Pennington to score for a 3-0 lead.
After Pollock flied out, Hill doubled for the second straight at-bat to push the margin to 4-0.
Arizona added two more runs in the third, as Prado clubbed a leadoff double, moved to third on a groundout, and score on Wil Nieves' single up the middle. After a Gerardo Parra's fielder's choice, Pennington scorched a double off the left-field wall to score Parra from first for a 6-0 lead.
Ross smacked a two-out single in the fourth to score Eric Chavez, who clubbed a one-out double to move into scoring position.
Parra kept the shutout intact in the seventh when he made a leaping grab at the right-field wall to rob Will Venable of a potential home run.
The D'backs then tacked on three more runs in the home half, starting with Ross' leadoff blast off the left-field foul pole.
Pollock capped the inning with a two-run single to account for the final margin.
Hill left the game with a tight right hamstring after just two innings ...
Arizona went 6-for-18 with runners in scoring position and left nine on base
... San Diego finished 0-for-3 with RISP and stranded four baserunners.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Jason Kipnis drove in three runs and Scott Kazmir pitched seven solid innings as the Cleveland Indians defeated the Minnesota Twins, 5-1, in the opener of a three-game series at Progressive Field.
Mark Reynolds and Drew Stubbs had an RBI apiece for the Indians, who have won seven of their last nine games.
Kazmir (4-4) allowed just one run on five hits while striking out seven in his outing.
"I know we shouldn't speak too soon, but we feel comfortable out there," said Kazmir. "We're making quality pitches and we're taking good at-bats, so it's a good sign."
Brian Dozier had a home run, but the Twins mustered just five hits. Starter Scott Deduno (3-2) gave up four runs on six hits and two walks in six-plus innings.
"I'm not realy happy because we lost the game but I am happy with what I've been doing and we just got to keep going," said Deduno.
The Indians got on the board in the second inning. Michael Brantley smacked a double to right center and scored on Reynolds' hit up the middle.
An inning later, Drew Stubbs drew a leadoff walk, advanced to third on a Michael Bourn single and scored on a sacrifice fly by Kipnis.
Dozier homered to start the sixth, but the Indians scored three runs in the seventh.
Reynolds hit a leadoff single and Lonnie Chisenhall walked. Following a fly out by Yan Gomes, Stubbs delivered an RBI single to left.
Bourn grounded into a fielder's choice that forced Stubbs out at second, but after Mike Aviles drew a walk, Kipnis delivered a blooper to left center, plating Chisenhall and Bourn.
Vinnie Pestano pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for Cleveland to end the game.
The Twins were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position ... Stubbs recorded
his 200th career RBI ... Kipnis is hitting .363 and has seven RBI over the
last seven games.

Pink and Say
by Patricia Polacco
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"Pink and Say" by Patricia Polacco was an excellent book. It is written in the memory of Pinkus Aylee, an African American soldier who fought alongside Sheldon Curtis in the Civil War. It is written from the perspective of Sheldon, which was really interesting because the entire book is written in his Southern dialect: "I wanted to go back to our farm in Ohio, and sometimes, when I'd fall into one of them strange sleeps, I'd be there with my Ma, tastin' baking powder biscuits fresh out of her wood stove". I liked the book because the overall message, and the way this message is portrayed, is very powerful. The main idea of "Pink and Say" is the idea that we must be selfless, and help those in need. Pinkus helped Sheldon when he was on the brink of death, and nursed him back to help when Pinkus himself was also badly wounded. Another reason I liked this book is because it pushes the reader to think about tough issues, the way in which Pinkus was treated is despicable. This book causes the reader to reflect upon the hardships that African American soldiers faced at this time. The last page of the book was very powerful, with the Polacco urging the reader to never forget about Pinkus: "When you read this, before you put this book down, say his name out loud and vow to remember him always".
What a wonderful story about a real life event that took place during the Civil War Ear. Polacco does a great job of keeping the interest of the reader. This is a book that can be read during a history lesson about the Civil War.
I absolutely loved this book. Patricia Polacco is an amazing author and conveys the story in such a way that the reader feels part of the story. I really enjoyed how the story was more about friendship and bravery than it was about the civil war. In the book, Sheldon Russell Curtis (Say) was a Union soldier in the Civil War. He was only fifteen when he was injured in battle. He ran away from his unit and was shot while he was running. Pinkus Aylee, a colored Union soldier, found Say bleeding to death in a pasture. Pink takes Say home and introduces him to his mom, Moe Moe Bay. They stayed with Pink's mom for a few weeks until they were well enough to return to the war. Right before Pink and Say leave, a group of bandits come and ransack the house looking for food. The bandits kill Moe Moe Bay, and Pink and Say bury the body under a tree. While walking back to the Union troops, Pink and Say are captured by Confederate soldiers and taken to Andersonville, one of the worst Confederate prison camps. Pink and Say are separated and never see each other again. Say gets released several months later and returned home to eventually marry Abagail Barnard and have seven children. However, Pink unfortunately never returned home. It is said that he was hanged within hours of arriving at Andersonville. This story was passed down from Sheldon Russell Curtis (Say) to his daughter Rosa, who then told the story to her daughter Estella, who then told her son William, who finally told his daughter Patricia, who decided to write this book to share the story with everyone. I think the main idea of this story is to show how different races can work together and become friends despite what is happening in the world.
Summary: The book tells a story of two boys involved in the civil war who become friends. Say is a white soldier that gets wounded on the battlefield and gets saved by a black soldier named Pink, who is a former slave. Pink takes Say back to his home, where his mother's concern is a predominant part of the book. She discusses her frustrations on the war and the constant struggles she undergoes on the ranch. Pink and Say must go back to war, but their friendship creates a strong sense of strength at the end of the book.
Personal Reflection: I really enjoyed this book because it gave a historical point of view on the American Civil War and it gave a different perspective to students that only view the Civil Rights War as a time of only conflict between blacks and whites. The friendship and protection in this book helps demonstrate a likeness between all humans and the morals of helping other people and the golden rule. It also shows a strong sense of responsibility and self-worth because the young boys are fighting in a war that forces them to grow up very quickly.
Class use: I would use this book when discussing themes on the Civil Rights Movement and segregation along with themes of unity and friendship. I would ask students to think about the mutual benefits Say and Pink received from their friendship and how it helped them throughout the book.
This is a great book that shows that it was difficult during war. It will tug at your heart through some parts of the book but it is overall a great read. It shows that children are brave. Recommended for ages 12 to 15
Hands and gestures have always been important in Polacco's work. Here they are at the center of a picture book based on a true incident in the author's own family history. It's a story of interracial friendship during the Civil War between two 15-year-old Union soldiers. Say, who is white and poor, tells how he is rescued by Pinkus (Pink), who carries the wounded Say back to the Georgia home where Pink's black family were slaves. In a kind of idyllic interlude, Pink and his mother nurse Say back to health, and Pink teaches his friend to read; but before they can leave, marauders kill Pink's mother and drag the boys to Andersonville prison. Pink is hanged, but Say survives to tell the story and pass it on across generations. The figure of Pink's mother borders on the sentimental, but the boys' relationship is beautifully drawn. Throughout the story there are heartbreaking images of people torn from a loving embrace. Pictures on the title and copyright pages show the parallel partings as each boy leaves his family to go to war. At the end, when the friends are wrenched apart in prison, the widening space between their outstretched hands expresses all the sorrow of the war. Then, in a powerful double-page spread, they are able to clasp hands for a moment, and their union is like a rope. Say once shook Lincoln's hand, just as Say held Pink's hand, and Say tells his children, who tell theirs, that they have touched the hand that touched the hand . . .
Gr 4 UpSay, 15, had never seen a black person up close until Pink, also a young Union soldier, saves his life. During his brief stay in Pink's home, the wounded boy comes to understand his friend's unconquerable vision of freedom. A memorable family reminiscence with evocative paintings. (Oct. 1994)

Breakfast Fruit Bread Pudding
From EatingWell: March/April 2012
Studded with strawberries, this breakfast recipe is a cross between a baked French toast and a dessert bread pudding. Swap in almost any fruit depending on what's in season. Although we typically advocate using whole-grain bread, we stuck with challah for this recipe, because the results are so luscious.
Makes: 10 servings

Nutrition Profile
Low calorie | Low sodium | High calcium | Healthy weight |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 pound day-old challah or other egg bread, cut in 1/2-inch slices
- 5 cups sliced strawberries or other berries, halved if large
- 5 large eggs
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- Confectioners' sugar for garnish
- Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cut bread in half on the diagonal to get somewhat triangular pieces. Place half the bread decoratively in the bottom of the prepared pan, nestling and trimming to fit as necessary. It's OK if there are spaces between the slices. Spread berries over the bread. Cover with the remaining bread, trimming to fit as necessary.
- Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, half-and-half, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Whisk in honey until completely incorporated. Pour the mixture over the bread. Let stand for 1 hour to allow the bread to soak up the liquid, pressing the bread down into the liquid a few times to help it absorb more. (Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 12 hours, pressing on the bread a few times while it sits.)
- Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. (If the pudding was refrigerated, remove the plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.) Cover the pan loosely with foil and set it on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until bubbling and the pudding is just set, about 1 hour more. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving (most of the liquid will be absorbed by the bread as the pudding rests). Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Im 37 weeks and 2 days. My LO is weighing in at 5 lb and 4 oz. i will be induced on August 23rd at 39 weeks. This pregnancy has had its ups and downs, its been a rollercoaster. Doctors telling me to terminate because she may not make it. I'm so glad i didnt becuase this shows these little girls are strong fighters. Im prepared for what i may have to go thru when she is born and im ready to take it head on. She has been strong all this time so i know i have to be too. i wouldnt trade it for anything, i was given this little baby for a reason and i love her even tho she is not here yet. i just want to tell the mommies out there to never give up whatever the doctor says. My LO has a cystic hygroma, hydrops, fluid in her heart and a biscupid aortic valve. These little girls are stong and fighters.

|Fast Break: Nets cut down sluggish Celtics
|04.10.13 at 9:43 pm ET
The Nets ran the Celtics out of their own building, 101-94, but the Bucks bailed them out by losing in overtime to the lowly Magic. The C's own a three-game advantage on Milwaukee with four games to play. Here's what went wrong against the Nets, a tough matchup for the Celtics should they meet in the second round.
Worst first: In the opening quarter, the Nets committed three times as many turnovers (6) as they had assists (2). The Celtics held Brooklyn to 7-of-19 shooting, including an 0-for-3 frame from Williams. And somehow the C's trailed 22-21 after one. The fact that everyone not named Brandon Bass or Paul Pierce combined to shoot 3-of-16 didn't help. The Celtics had a chance to bury Brooklyn early. Instead, the opposite.
Garnett and Green: For different reasons, Kevin Garnett and Jeff Green struggled. Garnett seemed to be playing his way back into shape in his second game since missing two weeks with a foot injury, although he made 4-of-5 shots after finishing 1-for-6 from the floor in the first half. Meanwhile, Green got open looks but had an awful shooting night (4-17 FG). Easy rule of thumb: If scoring options 2 and 3 aren't working, the Celtics are in trouble.
Foul mood: Avery Bradley picked up three fouls in the first half and his fourth 49 seconds into the second, and Williams took full advantage. Actually, he was the reason Bradley got into foul trouble in the first place. The Nets point guard continued his improved play since failing to make the All-Star roster for the first time since 2009, recording a double-double (29 points, 12 assists). Speaking of fouls, the Celtics didn't attempt a free throw for almost 28 minutes (thanks to a heaping helping of jump shots). Somebody check on Tommy Heinsohn.
Super Bass: After averaging fewer than 10 points for the first five months of the season, Bass has scored in double digits in all five games this month. Heck, he practically reached that mark in the first quarter. Illustrating a more versatile offensive arsenal, he threw down a vicious two-handed dunk over Brook Lopez, knocked down an 18-foot jumper and showed off a creative post move on Reggie Evans on consecutive Celtics buckets in the opening frame. In an odd move, Celtics coach Doc Rivers opted not to play Bass for a lengthy second-half stretch while Reggie Evans and Kris Humphries of all people grabbed rebound after rebound.
Living Wilcox: Likewise, the C's nearly had to file a missing persons report on Chris Wilcox, who hasn't been the same since injuries to his thumb and alley-oop partner Rajon Rondo's knee. For the second straight game, Shavlik Randolph was the first big off the bench, and for the second straight game, Wilcox played like his playoff minutes depended on it. After all, he's never participated in the NBA's postseason. Eighty percent of his shots have come within 2 feet of the basket, and Wednesday was no different, but at least he earned those buckets.
Truth handles: While many of the Celtics regulars struggled — and frankly turned in a preseason performance — Pierce (23 points) plodded his way through another stellar effort. After citing the "chippiness" between the two teams, Pierce probably had this game circled on his calendar. He scored 13 points on four shots in the third quarter alone. While the lead continued to slip away from the C's as the game wore on, Pierce at least gave them a fighter's chance, even if he was the only one fighting.
|Brandon Bass posterizes Brook Lopez

DeAndre Jordan has eight inches on Brandon Knight. LeBron James has six inches on Jason Terry. Brandon Bass is four inches shorter than Brook Lopez. One of these things is not like the other.
|Irish Coffee: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett trade rumors return
|04.10.13 at 12:26 pm ET
With the trade deadline long gone and the Celtics positioning themselves for another playoff run, just when you thought it was safe to table the discussion of trading veterans Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, Yahoo! Sports NBA writer Marc J. Spears reminds everyone that their departure is a very real possibility in the near future.
These two names were certainly hot before the trade deadline. A lot of people were wondering if Garnett might go to the Clippers or Paul might get moved. If something's going to happen with either one of them or both of them, the summer is a better time for that, because you're not in a rush. There's no real big deadline. You can think about it. Even draft night is a possibility.
Keep in mind, Pierce has one more year left on his deal. Pierce is still a valuable player, still a dynamic player. Keep an eye on a team like the Clippers. Not so much even for Garnett, but for Pierce, because if the Clippers stumble in the first or second round, I think that small forward position is something that they could use. They need maybe that No. 3 scorer or even that No. 2 scorer to kind of get them over the hump and be in the elite. He's from L.A., so I don't think Danny Ainge is going to send him to Minnesota. He's going to send him somewhere that he would be happy with, and I'm sure Paul probably thinks he he could get an extension with a team like the Clippers.
But the problem with trading Garnett is — no matter where it is, even if it was Miami — he could potentially retire. He's not a guy who wants a change, and he's a guy who's big on commitment. It would have to be a place where you'd have to have some stars that could convince him, but, to me, I think Pierce is probably the more likely guy if either of the two are to get moved in the offseason.
While speculation resumes about their future, Pierce and Garnett focus on preparing for the playoffs. The two spoke at length about developing consistency in a year full of inconsistencies. Here are the highlights.
|Paul Pierce doesn't see Brittney Griner making NBA
|04.09.13 at 2:59 pm ET
While Mavericks owner Mark Cuban claimed he might select Baylor women's basketball sensation Brittney Griner in the second round of this June's NBA draft and Heat wing Shane Battier suggested a woman will make the league in his lifetime, Celtics captain Paul Pierce doesn't foresee either scenario playing out anytime soon.
"I think it will be a little difficult, just because of the physicality of the sport," said Pierce, who has watched the many highlights of Griner. "The men are much faster, much stronger and much more athletic. Will it happen one day? I don't know. They have a women's league, where they are the best women in the world. Honestly, I can't tell you if I can see a woman right now playing in the NBA. Not in the next couple of years. No."
The 6-foot-8 senior set NCAA women's career records for dunks and blocks, won the national title as a junior and claimed her second straight Naismith Women's College Player of the Year trophy this season.
"If she is the best on the board, I will take her," Cuban told reporters before a game last week.
Added Battier: "There's no doubt that in our lifetime, there will be a woman NBA player."
As usual, Celtics coach Doc Rivers did a better dancing around the issue than anyone.
"If I find a green man walking down the street and I think he can rebound, I'm going to draft him," he told reporters prior to Friday's loss to the Cavaliers. "So, I don't think anyone cares. Obviously, it would make a huge story and it would be really cool. I just don't know the answer. I don't watch it enough to know, but it would be great."
Perhaps Pierce and Griner should play a game of 1-on-1 to settle this NBA debate once and for all.
|Jeff Green and Paul Pierce: 'We're two lethal threats'
|04.04.13 at 1:19 am ET
Jeff Green has earned a starting spot on the Celtics.
He's been downright dominant offensively in 11 spot starts for a resting Paul Pierce and an injured Kevin Garnett, so come playoff time, all three should be in the starting lineup. Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers seemed to concede that it's "very possible" Green and Pierce start on the wings once Garnett returns.
"We're playing off each other," said Green, who scored 34 points to go with Pierce's 17 in a 98-93 win over a Pistons team that had no matchup answers. "We're two lethal threats on the perimeter and in the low post, so teams have to make a decision on how they want to play us. Either one of us is going to have a nice matchup."
Added Pierce: "You've seen a lot of flashes of that this year. A lot of teams come into these games really focused on what I'm trying to do in the scouting report. When you've got a guy like Jeff who can put up big numbers like that and take over a game, it's fun. It's fun to watch and be a part of."
In the final 9:06 of a game that shouldn't have been so close, Pierce and Green scored 17 straight points until a pair of Jason Terry free throws sealed the deal in the final seconds. Green scored 11 of the C's final 13 points. But don't confuse his aggressiveness in Garnett's absence a passing of the torch just yet.
"I'm not trying to take over games," said Green, who added five boards and four blocks. "That's why we've got The Truth. I'm playing off of him. We're looking for each other. We're being aggressive. If it's in my hands, I'm trying to make a play. If it's in his hands, he's going to make a play, so we've just got to play off each other."
|Fast Break: Jeff Green drives Celtics over Pistons
|04.03.13 at 10:14 pm ET
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points — including a dagger 3-pointer with 45 seconds left — Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each added 17, and the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics beat the Pistons, 98-93. A 76ers loss locked the C's into the playoffs, and a Bucks loss gave them a 2.5-game cushion over the eight seed.
Slump busting: In an attempt to emerge from his recent shooting struggles, Avery Bradley came out firing for the second straight game, and it's working. He made 6-of-11 jumpers against the Timberwolves on Monday in his highest-scoring night since March 5. And he followed that up with a 5-of-6 night on jump shots against the Pistons. In his 13 previous games, Bradley made just 22-of-70 attempts (30 percent) from beyond 10 feet.
Green Day: Once again, Green shined in his seventh straight start for the injured Garnett. He entered Wednesday's game averaging 21.4 points (55 FG%), 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season. He added six rebounds and four blocks to his 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting against the Pistons. Five-man Celtics units featuring Green were a combined plus-152, and all but one of them were in the black, according to 82games.com's most recent updated on March 21.
(In a related note, Doc Rivers told Celtics sideline reporter Greg Dickerson "he is 100 percent confident that KG will be healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.)
Defending their honor: Somehow, the Celtics lost their two previous games to Detroit this season by a combined 35 points, allowing 103 points each time. This time around, sans Garnett, the C's held the Pistons to 36.6 percent shooting (16.7 3P%), as pitbulls Bradley and Courtney Lee held Detroit's starting backcourt to 7-of-26 from the field. Of course, Bass's 17 points on eight shots and seven boards didn't hurt, either.
Paint job: The Pistons scored their first 12 points in the paint. Here's how it went down: Andre Drummond from 6 feet, Greg Monroe layup, Kyle Singler layup, Drummond layup, Monroe layup and Rodney Stuckney layup. Not good. Detroit out-rebounded the C's 8-0 on the offensive glass (Drummond 5), scored 18-of-30 first-quarter points in the key and took a five-point edge on Monroe's eight points, four rebounds and three assists. Also not good. When all was said and done, Detroit outscored the Celtics 58-28 in the paint.
Sloppy second half: With 3:49 left in the third quarter, the Celtics took a 74-56 lead on Chris Wilcox's one and only bucket. That's the good news. The bad: The Pistons closed the third quarter on an 11-0 run thanks to nine points from Monroe and Jonas Jerebko. When Jerebko (19 points) converted a 3-point play to start the fourth quarter, the C's 18-point lead was trimmed to four, and the teams had themselves a ballgame.
Extra chances: The Celtics shot 50.7 percent from the field. The Pistons shot 36.6 percent. So, how in the heck was it a three-point game midway through the fourth quarter? Turnovers, for one. The C's committed 16 of them, leading to 20 Detroit points. And offensive rebounds. The Pistons grabbed almost as many offensive boards (25) as defensive (27), giving the visitors 22 more shots for the game.
|The Celtics love them some Shavlik Randolph
|03.30.13 at 2:12 am ET
When security opened the Celtics locker room after Friday's 118-107 win over the Hawks, reporters rushed to Shavlik Randolph's locker, but the PR staff announced he had already left. The Duke product generally makes postgame small talk for a bit with anybody willing to listen, so his absence came as a surprise to some.
For the C's, though, it should be refreshing. On the best night of his NBA career, Randolph ducked the media scrum, dodged questions that would have made his China-to-Boston journey the headline in Saturday's papers and generally just avoided becoming the focus on a night when veteran teammates Paul Pierce (20-10-10 triple-double), Jeff Green (game-high 27 points) and Jason Terry (24 points on 10 shots) all performed better.
In other words, Randolph knows his role. That or he wanted to watch his alma mater's Sweet 16 date with Michigan St. Either way, his new teammates welcomed the opportunity to heap praise upon the journeyman.
"He understands who he is," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, "and he does it."

Survival Horror at it's finest with some mind blowing moments
After Resident Evil 4, I felt a little hole in my heart... I wanted more of that experience. When Dead Space was announced, I was like "F*CK YEAH!!!" while others were disappointed at the fact it is Resident Evil 4 in space. It's out and I gotta say... It is one hell of a game. Generally speaking, as far as horror games go, this isn't the scariest. While it had its moments, horror is not the strong point. Dead Space's highlights are it's combat, the fact that cutscenes unseemingly move into the gameplay, and it's overall presentation.

Oh wow that was a lot to look at.
Sup? I'm Hoshi, also a 16 year old high school student.
First of all, you can't go about hating what you do, you need a positive mindset to improve well. You have to look at every drawing as learning experience, after you finish something, look at it and figure out what you did well and what could be improved on.
One thing I think you could work on is more consistent lighting. As it stands now, I can't really say that I can point out specific light sources. You also in some of the older work have/had some anatomy and proportion issues, so studying up a bit on anatomy may be a good idea as well.
I really dig your creature designs, that's some pretty inventive stuff right there.
was I left behind?
Someone tell me, tell me I survived.
Don't look so surprised that I'm home, but just for tonight.

so don't speak, I am tired.

Quicken Loans Carrier Classic May Be "Most Ambitious" Non-Traditional Sport Event Yet
Published November 11, 2011
SALUTE TO THE TROOPS: The AP's Julie Watson noted organizers "plan to seize the spotlight to showcase the Navy and its awe-inspiring, multi-billion-dollar aircraft carriers to the more than 3 million viewers expected to watch the Veterans Day game on ESPN." Navy officials said that they "know a basketball game will not change the budget debate, but it can't hurt efforts to get the American public excited about their branch of service as its chiefs lobby Congress to avoid cuts that could jeopardize its future military strategies" (AP, 11/10). AD AGE's Kerem Ozkan noted for college basketball and the U.S. Navy, the event "will serve as a one-of-a-kind cross-promotion." State Farm is "sponsoring a halftime game of H-O-R-S-E with James Worthy, Mario Lopez, Brooklyn Decker, and the winner" of an eBay auction. Morale Entertainment said that "all proceeds will go to charity." Other sponsors for the game "include Sears, Coke Zero, Miller High Life, Westwood One" and upcoming Relativity Media film "Act of Valor" (ADAGE.com, 11/9).

Album Summary
- Joshua Pierce (Piano)

Notes & Reviews:
Harmonium, a song cycle for soprano and piano on poems by Wallace Stevens was written in 1951. He selected 20 of the 85 poems in Harmonium, reordered them to suit his own needs and set them to music as an hour-long cycle. It is one of the major 20th century achievements in this classic form and this is a world premiere recording.
American Record Guide, September/October 2013
Vincent Persichetti's Harmonium (1951) is a large cycle of poems by Wallace Stevens, alternately moody, dramatic, and lyrical. Harmony is very free. The cycle closes with a particularly beautiful setting of the ubiquitous 13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. Ms Overholt has a firm grasp on this difficult music, and Mr Pierce does an exemplary. This is a first recording. Texts included. Notes by Eric Salzman.
