Kidd Doesn't Travel to Milwaukee; Brewer Expected To Play
According to Jared Zwerling of ESPN-New York, Jason Kidd did not travel to Milwaukee with the team and Ronnie Brewer will play after he dislocated his finger last night against the Nets.
During his weekly appearance on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco" show, Mike Woodson said that Jason Kidd, who missed Monday night's loss in Brooklyn with lower back spasms, is "day to day." Kidd did not travel to Milwaukee for Wednesday night's game.
Ronnie Brewer, who suffered a dislocated left ring finger against the Nets on Monday, didn't have any breaks and will play against the Bucks with his hand taped.
Matthew Falkenbury
This is the smart move by the Knicks as having Kidd fly to Milwaukee with a bad back would not have been the best idea to help him recover. The Knicks are going to need him healthy for the long haul and missing a game or two in November is better than a whole bunch more in March and April.
When its comes to Brewer, he struggled for the most part this season but losing him to injury would force a guy like James White to get more playing time which I can't say would be a good or bad thing since he is mostly an unknown. But Brewer is a starter and losing 40% of your starting lineup in one day isn't a good thing and so we will see how he does with the injury to his hand for the time being.

Neverwhereby Neil Gaiman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Interview with Neil Gaiman
"Neverwhere is your first novel. Compared to your work in graphic novels, what were some of the challenges you experienced in writing your first work of narrative fiction?
The cast of characters in "Neverwhere includes an angel, a beast, an orphaned lady with special powers, and an Amazonesque huntress. Were any of these characters figures you'd explored in other works, or were they completely new to this book?
Everyone's new ... although when I was a very young man (I think I was about 18) I started my first book, about a teenage boy going to learn magic at a public school that taught that sort of thing, and Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar were in there. They were eating a dead puppy in sixteenth-century Venice. I never finished the schoolboy magic book (although in 1988 I brought some of it back in the "Books of Magic graphic novel) but I always knew one day I'd find a home for Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar.
Richard Mayhew is such a wonderful protagonist. His foibles — from his curiosity about this strange London Below he's encountered to his hatred of heights — make him extremely likable. Does he share any qualities with any of your other fictional protagonists?
Well, he'snot a typical hero, and he has that in common with all the others. Beyond that, I don't really know.
Your account of London's abandoned Underground is captivating. Did many of the obsolete Tube stations you mention in your book really exist at one time? Have you seen them?
Yes, they do and they did. I've been to several of the abandoned stations, although British Museum Station (closed, after a fire 70 years ago) has been completely lost.
At what point in your manuscript did you realize that Richard would choose to remain in London Below. To your knowledge, how have your readers responded to this decision?
Is there any possibility of a sequel to "Neverwhere? Richard's decision would seem to leave the door open to further adventures in London Below.
Well, yes. It's just there are so many other stories to tell. But I do know the shape of the next story — it's called "The Seven Sisters.
Richard Mayhew is an unassuming young businessman living in London, with a dull job and a pretty but demanding fiancee. Then one night he stumbles across a girl bleeding on the sidewalk. He stops to help her--and the life he knows vanishes like smoke.
Several hours later, the girl is gone too. And by the following morning Richard Mayhew has been erased from his world. His bank cards no longer work, taxi drivers won't stop for him, his hundred rents his apartment out to strangers. He has become invisible, and inexplicably consigned to a London of shadows and darkness a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth of sewer canals and abandoned subway stations. He has fallen through the cracks of reality and has landed somewhere different, somewhere that is Neverwhere.
For this is the home of Door, the mysterious girl whom Richard rescued in the London Above. A personage of great power and nobility in this murky, candlelit realm, she is on a mission to discover the cause of her family's slaughter, and in doing so preserve this strange underworld kingdom from the malevolence that means to destroy it. And with nowhere else to turn, Richard Mayhew must now join the Lady Door's entourage in their determined--and possibly fatal--quest.
For the dread journey ever-downward--through bizarre anachronisms and dangerous incongruities, and into dusty corners of stalled time--is Richard's final hope, his last road back to a "real" world that is growing disturbingly less real by the minute.
If Tim Burton reimagined The Phantom of the Opera, if Jack Finney let his dark side take over, if you rolled the best work of Clive Barker, Peter Straub and Caleb Carr into one, you still would have something that fell far short of Neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE. It is a masterful debut novel of darkly hypnotic power, and one of the most absorbing reads to come along in years.
About the Author

Recently, Al Gore was permitted an opportunity to indulge his obsession with "global warming" at the Aspen Institute, and the former Vice President had some rather choice words for critics of his anthropogenic conception of "climate change."
They are the same people, he declared, who continue "washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again." Yet they have become so successful at dissembling, we have reached a point where it is now unacceptable in "mixed" or "bi-partisan company to use the godd***ed word 'climate.'" On three consecutive occasions during his speech, Gore referred to his opponents' alternative accounts of climate change as "bull****!"
Gore isn't the first high-profile politician to curse in public.

Clippers 120, New Jersey 107
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 01/20/08, 10:56am:
The difference for Al Thornton tonight is the breadth of his game. We've seen repeatedly how Thornton's lethal jab step and quick release allow him to create enough space for himself on the perimeter to launch a jumper [1st, 9:18; 4th, 11:00]. But that luxury has, at times, enabled a lack of discretion on Thornton's part. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. But tonight, he sizes up his matchups well and finds himself some prudent shots in the half court.
- [1st, 8:47] Having just sunk a long jumper just inside the arc, Thornton fakes another before dumping the ball into Chris Kaman in the mid-post. Thornton's man, Malik Allen, hedges for a moment, but makes enough of a commitment to double low that Kaman kicks it back out to Thornton. Here, Thornton has cause to launch the 3PA. But he decides to use his quickness against a recovering Allen to dribble in another eight feet. Better shot, and less contested. He hits from 12.
- [4th, 9:09] With Vince Carter on him, Thornton recognizes that there's good work to be done in the post. Knight feeds him just off the mid-post. From there, Thornton backs Carter into the restricted circle, spins baseline, takes a strong pivot, goes up with both arms, then lays it from underneath with his right.
The Clippers squander a five point lead in the final minute of the game trying to be cute -- trying to draw contact rather than get good open looks. The Nets, down three, respond by hitting a 3PFG in transition with :06 remaining. It's interesting that more teams down three with only a few ticks left, don't try to work their final 3PA in transition. Isn't it easier to get a quality 3PA on the perimeter when the defense doesn't have time to set itself along the arc?
After an initial Kaman offensive foul on the opening possession of overtime, the Clips get a flurry of quality shots. The first comes in transition, with Mobley forcing the tempo downcourt, beating Jason Kidd off the dribble to the basket. After a strong defensive stand - in the zone, no less! - the Clips come back up two.
- [OT, 3:45] The Clips don't find much in the first 14 seconds or so of the possession. The Nets are using rookie center Sean Williams on Maggette, and Williams' length isn't allowing Maggette any space, not even for a simple feed. Kidd is on the ball, bothering Sam. Finally, Sam realizes his best bet might be a side screen that Kaman is offering up just in front of the Clippers' bench. He takes it and, off the screen, Josh Boone moves with Cassell toward the corner. This frees Kaman. Sam shoots him the ball, and Kaman ignites one of his best finishes of the season - driving ferociously from ten feet and not stopping until he slams the ball home. Clippers by 4.
- [OT, 3:04] Simple high S/R with Cassell and Kaman. Nothing fancy. It's a strong, solid screen by Chris, enough to allow Sam to shake Jason Kidd and elevate for an easy 17-foot jump shot. Clippers by 6.
- [OT, 2:30] Thornton has a matchup with Jason Kidd off the left post. Maggette recognizes it quickly and dumps an entry pass into the rookie. This time, Thornton, back to the hoop, drives across the lane. He stops, elevates, and sinks an easy 12-footer over his much smaller defender. Thornton's release is so quick that Sean Williams - who's an absolute beast of a help defender and my favorite rookie in the league right now - can't get there on time. Clippers by 8.
The Clips hit their FTAs down the stretch, and put the game away with reasonable ease.
I'm not offering anything original when I suggest that the Clippers ought to run more early S/R with Cassell and Kaman. Kaman has cultivated the kind of patience in the halfcourt that you want in your big man. The Clippers should run more through him at about :18, which would force the double-team earlier, thereby allowing the wings more time to work reasonable shots without having to look up and see :04 on the shot clock, which is what happens now more times than not.

During a break in the rush of getting today's paper out, Aaron said: "I saw you on-screen this weekend."
The person behind the online grassroots campaign to keep Sara Sidle on "CSI" must have it bad for Jorja Fox — or must actually enjoy the painfully non-romantic, chemistry-less so-called romance between Sara and Grissom. (I still can't believe they're engaged! Ugh.)
I really thought "CSI" producer Naren Shenkar was kidding with Entertainment Weekly in September about swapping creative teams with "Two and a Half Men."
Apparently not.
Death always manages to grab us by the short hairs. Being someone who loves movies, I'm repeatedly saddened when the Hollywood community loses another star.
I know I am because of the writer's strike. (Of course, I find it relaxing to catch a flick while playing the couch potato.)
I've been catching up on several movies and here are my three- to four-sentence reviews:
Good news for Grissom geeks (aren't we all?)! The Hollywood Reporter is, uh, reporting "CSI" is one of 11 CBS shows that will return for the 2008-2009 season.
To quote Michael Jordan: I'm back.
OK, my return to the Reflector blogs might not be as anticipated as the iconic MJ's return to "da Bulls," but I can at least hope I was missed.
Another week, another repeat.
That should be our mantra in the midst of the writer's strike. It's a sad state of affairs when I have a better chance of watching an episode I've never seen on Spike TV than I do on CBS.
Just a few things I noticed about last night's episode:
Could some new "CSI" episodes be in the distant future?
"The Wrestler" (R, 2008): I'd heard so much about Mickey Rourke's performance, I had to see it.
The story was rather forgettable, but I enjoyed seeing Grissom and Jack Malone go toe-to-toe. At least in the "CSI" episode.
I recently proposed the merits of choosing Batman or Superman in "Cary's Comics Craze." Now let's check out Jack Nicholson vs. Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Life is full of ironies
. As an English major and a fiction lover, I dig ironies. You're reading one now.

A recently released research study indicated that motor vehicle accidents involving young drivers 15 to 17 years of age cost the United States more than $34 billion annually in medical expenses, lost work hours, property damages, quality of life loss, deaths and related expenditures in 2006.
The AAA traffic safety study determined that the total cost of teen-related crashes in Utah in 2006 registered at $308 million.
"There are obviously severe consequences for the people directly involved in these crashes and for their family and friends, but the effects don't end there," pointed out Rolayne Fairclough, spokesperson for AAA Utah. "Our research reveals how these incidents impact everyone including taxpayers.
According to the analysis conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, drivers ages 15 to 17 were involved in about 974,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2006. The accidents injured 406,427 people and killed 2,541 victims.
The $34.4 billion in costs reported in 2006 included $9.8 billion stemming from fatal crashes. The total represents an average cost of $3.841 million per fatality.
Injury crashes averaged $50,512, costing a total of $20.5 billion.
Property damage crashes accounted for the remaining $4.1 billion in cost.
Comprehensive graduated driver licensing (GDL) systems have been shown to reduce fatal crashes involving 16-year-old drivers by an average of 38 percent, according to a 2007 report from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety and Johns Hopkins University. GDL systems ease teens into driving through a combination of mandatory practice and limited driving at night and with passengers.
AAA has been the leading advocate for GDL restrictions in Utah. The final version of the law was passed in 2006.
In Utah in 2006 crashes involving drivers age 15-17 resulted in:
9,260 crashes
26 deaths
3,864 injuries
$31 million in medical costs
$91 million in work related losses
$41 million in property damage
$308 million in total costs
"Some of these costs are relatively easy to add up because the government pays the bills for expenses like Medicaid, police, paramedics and courts," said Fairclough. "Many other costs like lost wages, traffic delays and reduced quality of life are not as apparent, but add significantly to the toll teen crashes take on society.
The cost of teen crashes was calculated using modeling that researchers at PIRE have used for economic analysis for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The analysis draws upon a broad range of databases and research involving crashes, injury types, medical costs by state and more.
Information about the teen driver programs offered by the association is available online to Carbon County residents with Internet access at www.aaa.com/trafficsafety.

|Sewage Spill Reported Due to Road Work
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 14 June 2013 11:45
One more bit of fallout from work from the now gone original contractor on the US 321 project in Blowing Rock, a sewage spill occurred Wednesday, blamed on damage to a manhole done by Taylor-Murphy. The Town of Blowing Rock release says that, "during work associated with the Highway 321
widening project, the Town of Blowing Rock experienced a sanitary sewer overflow which resulted in approximately 58,500 gallons of untreated wastewater being released into the Middle Fork of the South Fork of the New River on June 12, 2013. The cause of the overflow was due to debris in the line which occurred when the manhole at which the overflow occurred had been damaged by Taylor-Murphy. This damage allowed debris to enter into the Town's sanitary sewer system causing a blockage which resulted in the overflow. The blockage has been removed and remedial actions have been taken. No fish kill has been reported in conjunction with this overflow." The release goes on to say that the Division of Water Quality was notified and will be reviewing the matter. North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1C requires municipalities who operate waste handling systems to issue public announcements when a spill of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters.

Cars are necessary for us in order to go from one destination to another, from home to work and vice-versa. Do you know that you are driving a car contribute to the growing environment problem – climate change? If you have no idea, read on in order to be enlightened.
The following are three effects of cars to our environment:
1. Quality of the air
Air pollution is getting worst, especially at places where there is traffic congestion due to a number of cars on the street. As it increases, the risk of getting diseases such as neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory is at high. This is a pity for those who are living within the area where there are lots of cars emitting carbon dioxide. They are prone to getting such diseases.
2. Emission of greenhouse gases
Have you observed that the temperature during summer 20 years ago is not as high during summer of last year? This is due to the emission of the carbon dioxide. As the years go by, there has been an increase in carbon dioxide emission. It causes the Earth to heat up and much so it becomes not tolerable in some tropical countries. This has even lead to changes in global climate. It led to having the risk of a person's health all the way to death at very high temperature.
3. Noise
Do you know that urban noise is due to road traffic? This can lead disturbance to those working at the office. People cannot relax or sleep properly. Plus, it can even lead to mental stress as well. On worst cases, noise can lead to physical problems like heart disease, chronic exhaustion as well as high blood pressure.
There you have it, three effects of cars to our environment. We cannot put a stop to this. However, what we can do is to lessen it through using hybrid cars or cars powered by biofuel. This will have a little effect today. However, if all of car owners will make a shift. It will lead to something good. Being aware of what cars, emission of carbon dioxide do to the environment will yield to make us question ourselves and do something about it.
Are you going to be a contributor to our environment's worst situation or are you going to be a contributor of change? Take your choice. The future of the next generation depends on what we do today.

Oral Microencapsulated Diindolylmethane in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Triple Negative, Androgen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer Who Have Undergone Chemotherapy and Surgery
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being done to find out whether a nutritional supplement, called BioResponse-DIM (BR-DIM [oral microencapsulated diindolylmethane]), improves the survival for women who have residual cancer cells following surgery after chemotherapy for breast cancer. BR-DIM is an active ingredient in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower). Consumption of these vegetables has been associated with a decreased risk in several cancers. Researchers also hope to find out whether different biomarkers (also called "markers") in the blood predict the chance of breast cancer returning. BR-DIM is thought to be effective in treating stage II-III breast cancer that is triple negative, AR positive (+), and where there is residual cancer cells in the breast after chemotherapy.

Alderson met with Dickey's agent, conflicting reports about contract demands
Sandy Alderson said today he's met with R.A. Dickey's agent in Nashville, but negotiations are ongoing and it remains to be seen if a gap in contract talks can be bridged.
"We've always said we'd like to sign R.A., the preference remains to sign him," Alderson said. However, "You can only keep things on the table for so long."
According to Jim Bowden on MLB Network Radio, Dickey is seeking to void his option for 2013 and replace it with a three-year $45 million deal << click to tweet this. Andy Martino of the Daily News disagrees, saying Dickey is still just seeking a two-year extension worth less than $29 million.
MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone said last week that Dickey can be locked up for the next three years at around $25 million.
"In terms of years and structure we're agreeable on multiple structures," Dickey's agent, Bo McKinnis said today, according to Newsday. "It's just a matter of getting the dollars right."
