You guys are missing the obvious comp - Carmelo. Their numbers were very similar as college freshmen and NBA rookies, despite the Sonics/Thunder insisting on playing Durant out of his natural position. The interesting thing will be if Durant makes his leap after the ASB this season or some time next season.
Good comparison (esp. the parallel career paths).
I think that's an optimistic time line for Durant, even if you consider that Melo's growth has probably been stunted by often having his head up his ass on and off the court. Durant's brutal supporting cast probably won't help his development, though Jeff Green is starting to look like he might by useful.
Melo always put up points but it took him 4.5 seasons to start scoring really efficiently. We won't get into the lack of rebounding and defensive intensity - you know, the things that have to do with winning. With that stroke, I thought he would have been a much better 3p shooter sooner. He was brutal up until last season.
He's not in Wade's or Lebron's league and, for one season, I'd rather have Caron Butler. He's an All-Star player and still very young, but I expected bigger things from Melo. Then again, it took like seven seasons for Paul Pierce to go from excellent scorer to great player. I'm really hoping we see more from Durant.

On the cats..
by EasTexSteve
The Powell Bottom just east of me has been the location of many big cat sightings over the years. I saw a few there myself. Of course, there is the big cat that frequented our place for years. We saw him a few times. It used to periodically scream all the time. Then, for about ten years, we stopped hearing the cat screams. Then, out of the blue, I got that game cam photo of that big cat crawling through my east fence.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a guest author for Stadri Emblems. We're excited to have you. Although we are currently accepting guest blog posts, we are primarily seeking content for our product gallery pages. Therefore, let's get all the technical mumbo-jumbo out of the way and describe the requirements for both.
Blog Post Requirements
Topics and Content
All posts must relate to custom promotional products and/or the individuals or organizations that use them. An example of an acceptable post would be, "How custom patches elevate soccer team recognition." An example on an undesired post would be, "Strategies For a Successful Soccer Game," since it is not related to patches or promotional products. All posts should include at least one image that is royalty-free and/or you have the rights to.
Quality, Originality, and Backlinks
Posts must be at least four hundred words of quality, original content that adds value for our readers. We will check for originality via Copyscape before posting, and sporadically after posting. We will remove any content we find has been published elsewhere after the fact. You are allowed a link back to your site with your desired anchor text preferably in the article body, rather than an author bio. Informative backlinks unrelated to your site, such as Wikipedia, are permitted. For every additional 250 words above 400, you are allowed an additional backlink to a page of your choice (at our discretion). Keep in mind this should be quality content; do not simply try to inflate word count without giving attention to value.
Posts should be completed upon submission and require little to no editing. We reserve the right to edit your posts for grammar and spelling or to reject a post because of its content or outbound links.
Product Gallery Copy Requirements
Here at Stadri, we supply custom patches to dozens of different types of clients. Each client type has a separate page, displaying patches we have supplied to them. This is where you come in. If we were to write copy for each of these client types, it would take us forever! Plus, you may be an expert in one of these fields. Take scooter patches, for instance. Wouldn't someone who is an avid scooter owner and rider provide better insight into the lifestyle and how custom patches benefit him or her? We think so.
So, here's what we're looking for. For gallery pages, we need a minimum of 250 words about the topic and how custom patches tie in. You can view an example of this on our paintball patches page.
Wow, only 250 words? This is easy! Well, here's the catch: the backlink you provide must be related to what you are writing about. For example, if you look at the Paintball page again, you will see a link in the left margin that takes you to a page offering Paintball goggles.
Depending on your link and the context, we may use it in the body of the copy or in the left margin of the page, as can be seen in the Paintball example. This will be our choice.
All of the requirements for writing on our blog regarding originality, quality, and grammar still apply here. However, you are not required to provide an image.
Below are the categories we need information about. You can also browse our patch gallery to get ideas.
Business and Organizations
Fortune 500 Companies
Fire Department
Police Badge Patches
Boy Scouts
And that's it! All we need now is for you to fill out the form below and include the word "lobster" in the comments field so we know you've read everything.
Happy blogging!

Viapaed Study In Children And Adolescents With Asthma
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Asthmatic children who remain symptomatic on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) require an adjustment of their asthma therapy. Current guidelines suggest that the treatment options are either an increased dose of inhaled corticosteroid or the addition of other therapy such as a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA). In the paediatric age range, major concerns with respect to high dose ICS therapy are growth retardation and the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis. Previous studies in adults have shown that a combination product that included a LABA as well as the ICS allowed to reduce the steroid dose and was still at least as effective in achieving asthma control as treatment with a higher dose of ICS. These treatment options shall be compared in the present study. Children who remain symptomatic while inhaling 100 µg fluticasone (FP) twice daily shall be randomised to receive the salmeterol/ fluticasone combination product, Viani (SERETIDE) 50/100 µg, or fluticasone 200 µg as a comparator drug, inhaled twice daily via the DISKUS for a period of eight weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Children aged 4 to 16 years with an established history of perennial asthma.
- Subjects who are treated with an inhaled corticosteroid according to BDP (budesonide) 200-400 µg/day or equivalent during the last 4 weeks before run-in.
- 15 minutes after inhaling 200µg of salbutamol, reversible increase in FEV1 of at least 12% of the pre-dose value.
- Willingness to substitute previous controller medication on the twice daily inhalation of fluticasone 100µg bid via DISKUS®.
- Subjects/guardians who have given written informed consent to participate in the study.
- Subjects /guardians who are able to understand and complete a diary record card (DRC).
- Subjects who are able to use a Mini-Wright Peak Flow meter.
- Sexually active female adolescents must use adequate contraception.

Ms Silva, who had been Eduardo Campos' vice presidential running mate, met members of the party in Brasilia who officially approved her as the new candidate.
The decision was widely expected. Party members and Ms Silva's associates had said over the weekend that the main leaders had already chosen her to run in Mr Campos' place.
Thousands mourn Brazil presidential candidate
Tens of thousands of Brazilians gathered in the north eastern city of Recife to bid farewell to presidential candidate Eduardo Campos, killed in a plane crash four days ago, as debate swirled about the impact of his death on the October election.
Locals waited hours in line to pay their respects in front of Campos's coffin and watch an open-air mass attended by a number of Brazilian officials, including President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Brazilian President cancels campaigning for three days
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has cancelled campaigning for three days ahead of the October elections in the country after one of the candidates was killed in a plane crash.
Eduardo Campos' private jet carrying seven people crashed in the coastal city of Santos during bad weather as it was preparing to land.
Five people on board were reportedly rushed to a local hospital. Their identities and what condition they were in is unknown.
Campos, leader of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), had been running third in the polls. The elections are due to take place on October 5.

The party source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Campos' running mate, Marina Silva, was not on board.

The hospitality company MATCH said that any charges brought against a British manager of the firm will be "rebutted".

He handed himself in to a judge in Brazil this evening.
A statement by MATCH said: "MATCH remains absolutely confident that any charges raised against Ray will be rebutted."
MATCH admitted that offering the packages for cash was "highly unusual" but that it was "permitted under the various terms and conditions".
The company also said that Whelan was unaware that MATCH had put a block on Fofana buying any more packages or tickets.
Luiz Felipe Scolari resigns as manager of Brazil
Luiz Felipe Scolari has resigned as manager of Brazil, the national football federation announced on the Confederations website, www.cbf.com.br.
The 65-year-old stood down as the World Cup hosts could only finish fourth, having been thrashed in their semi-final 7-1 by Germany.
The statement said:
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and his fellow coaching staff surrendered their positions to the board of the Brazilian Football Confederation.
The resignation was accepted by president Marin, who was keen to thank all the coaches and players and, by extension, the Brazilian fans for their support throughout the World Cup campaign.
Scolari and his entire coaching staff deserve our respect and gratitude. They were responsible for returning to the Brazilian people your love for the team, despite not having achieved our greatest goal.

Anyway, looks great! Don't really like the grass starter. They have always been reptiles, and I think reptiles are pretty damn cool. This looks like a weird beaver/chestnut/otter combo. But oh well. And finally! Not a fire/fighting starter. Unless it evolves into a flaming fox with boxing gloves, I think we are okay.
And the legendaries look pretty cool too. I am very excited. Jst need to get a 3DS and finish White 2.

I can't really see how the grass starters are reptiles. With the excpetion of Trecko (Gecko) I can't see any.

As said below with Bulbasaur. But also Turtwig is a turtle, and Snivy is a snake, both reptiles. And Chikorita evolves into Meganium, which looks like a sauropod.

Bulbasaur is one. Hence the "saur" at the end of each evolution's name.

After some searching with no specific luck for the time of year, I thought I'd post some questions. I've done this loop twice, December and January. Great walk. Several of us are now planning to go back in the last weekend of May for a two or three day hike and I'm curious about the ticks, chiggers, and skeeters. I've dealt with these in the past so I'm really not asking how to cope, but rather, will I see them. Although any suggestions are welcome. I also talked to the local ranger but I thought I'd get some other opinions. The second bug question, which I haven't camped with, are fire ants. I understand they are there but I think with a good rocky location, they can be avoided. We have them at home, but I've never been on an overnighter with them. Any suggestions? Spray? Garlic and Frijoles?Any other thoughts about this loop would be welcome.Thanks
I just finished packing to go there tomorrow and I was there in April. There are lots of bugs, mostly just the ones that bother and get in your face but not bite. That is my favorite trail and since I live in east Texas, it is one of the closer ones. When it is green, it is so much different than in the winter. I would try to camp pretty high to avoid the humidity around the creeks and rivers. Funny story- I went about one month after the big flood and the road was closed. I only needed to go about 100 yards to park. I went ahead and passed the warning sign and sitting there waiting was a task force of police. I told them that I just wanted to park to go hiking. I ended up with a nice $150 fine for driving past the sign. So instead of blocking the road and telling people to leave, they hide around the corner and wait for people. I don't feel sorry at all for Arkansas since they have not touched the place since the flood, but I gave them $150 to put in their pocket.
Curious where you parked? Albert Pike is closed for good I'm told. No overnight parking, no camping, etc. Probably not a bad idea. I have parked at the Winding Stairs TH both times. Anyhoo, I plan to tarp this one and carry bivy for bugs in case.
Albert Pike Recreation Area campsites in some parts are being rebuilt nicer than they were before. I was there April 15 and we got lucky with a cool weekend and no bugs. I'd expect them there now.
I live in Arkansas and you can expect lots of bugs. The ticks were bad all winter and are worse now. Chiggers are not to be messed with. Skeeters won't be as much of a problem although it has been quite wet so I would be prepared. Fireants are not much of a concern. Snakes on the other hand are something that you will definitely need to be on the watch for. Chris, you can't get high enough in Arkansas to get out of the humidity. You may be able to get along a bluff line and catch a breeze. The nice thing about camping low is you can just get in the water to cool off. Have a nice trip!

I hate snakes, but I grew up in snake country. Chiggers… are something I wouldn't expect to see on the loop, unless you got in some tall grass off trail. Anyway, I plan to prevent or watch out for both. Thanks for the responses.
I would spray my shoes and pants with permethrin for the chiggars. I hate chiggars. My daughter and I got into them in South Dakota last summer, and I almost thought I was going to have to hospitalize myself.
The ticks here in Arkansas this year are really bad, as bad as I've ever seen. I've gotten one or two passengers every monthly trip this year, despite Permethrin.The skeeters and gnats wanting to buzz the face are easily managed by a Permethin bandana around the neck.I never really have a problem with chiggers, I guess I eat too much garlic for their tastes.
Oh, and make sure you research and mark bailout points on your map in case the rains roll in and threaten to strand you on the wrong side of the river.Don't need another lost group making the news.
Hiked the upper section of the buffalo last week. As others have said, expect ticks. If skeeters have an uncanny affection for your blood, you'll definitely get a few bites. I was eaten alive. However, my normal blooded backpacking partners walked out with only a few marks. We did not encounter chiggers.Alex
The bugs weren't bad at all but the ticks were there. I found four crawling around on my legs, but none attached. No snakes but we did see a bear and a few deer. The walk was great and we had great weather but I'm curious... Why doesn't the forest service lock the facilities and remove trash cans if they aren't going to be maintained? The Missouri Falls area was clean but the Albert Pike and Winding stairs area, not so much.

Area voters will be asked to pass several issues on the May 6 primary ballot. The following is a round-up.
Voters in the Norwalk City Schools district will consider an additional 4.95 mills tax levy for five years. Superintendent Dennis Doughty has said it's been 23 years since voters passed the last operating levy.
Due to the loss of state and federal funds, the district finds themselves in a shortfall, Doughty said.
"In the last five years, 49 full- and part-time positions have been eliminated in the district. In spite of the local cuts that have been made, increased costs for operations are readily apparent," he said. "This levy is limited in both dollars asked for and limited in time. The 5 mills for operating funds will get the district through the next five years."
Norwalk residents in wards 1, 2, 3 and 4 will consider a charter amendment to change council terms from two to four years. The four ward members would be elected for a term of four years and the at-large members would be elected for two years.
Thereafter, the term of office for all council members would be four years. In essence, there could only be four new members at a time.
The same voters will consider an amendment regarding the appointment of police and fire chief. Specifically, if nobody in either department is qualified or applies for the position, the chief's selection committee can advertise to hire from outside the department.
Willard City Schools district voters will consider renewing a 5.4 mill levy, which has been on the books for the past 10 years and doesn't ask for new money.
"This levy is used to fund many different educational options and activities throughout the district," according to information provided by the district. "It is currently being used to fund all aides not required by law (mainly at Central Elementary), our performing arts program, art and language programs, agricultural education, family consumer science, athletics, high school business and smaller class sizes at the elementary level.
"The passage of this levy is crucial to our district to continue to be able to offer all of these programs."
Voters in Clarksfield Township will be asked to renew a levy for the purpose of general construction, reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges. They also will consider the 5-year, .4 mill measure, designed to pay for current expenses.
In addition, Clarksfield Township voters will consider renewing a levy for the general construction, reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges. This is a 0.9 mill levy for five years.
Voters in Greenwich Township, Greenwich village and Ripley Township will consider renewing a .75 mill, three-year levy for ambulance and emergency medical services.
Wakeman village voters will be asked to renew a 1 percent, five-year levy for general operating expenses.
Clarksfield Township voters who live in the Wellington Exempted Village School District will consider renewing a 5.27 mills, 10-year renewal for emergency requirements.
All Erie County voters will consider a replacement and additional levy for Erie MetroParks. According to ballot language, it's "for the purpose of operation, promoting, conserving, acquiring, developing, improving and protecting lands and water areas as parks, parkways and forest reservations for the recreation, health benefit and general welfare of the citizens of Erie County." The rate is not to exceed 0.6 mill for each $1 of valuation, which amounts to $0.06 for each $100 of valuation for 10 years commencing in 2014, first due in calendar year 2015. An existing levy of 0.5 mill, having two years remaining, will be canceled and replaced if the levy passes.

Americans across the United States and people around the world took time to remember the September 11 terrorist attacks which occurred nine years ago this past Saturday.
President Obama attended a memorial service at the Pentagon. Speaking to the crowd, which included family members of the victims, he said, "The perpetrators of this evil act didn't simply attack America, they attacked the very idea of America itself." He added, "The highest honor we can pay those we lost — indeed, our greatest weapon in this ongoing war — is to do what our adversaries fear the most: to stay true to who we are, as Americans."
President Obama also called on Americans to unite and to continue to practice the religious tolerance upon which the United States was founded. Speaking about religious radicals he said, "They may seek to spark conflict between different faiths, but as Americans we are not — and never will be — at war with Islam," Obama said. "It was not a religion that attacked us that September day; it was al-Qaeda."
Obama also said, "We champion the rights of every American, including the right to worship as one chooses."
For her part, Michelle Obama joined former First Lady Laura Bush in Pennsylvania at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93, a plane also hijacked that day. "May the memory of those who gave their lives here continue to be an inspiration to you and an inspiration to all of America," Mrs. Obama told the crowd.

Onion Sports Network on Comedy Central
I can't recall anybody doing a half-hour comedy news program focusing on sports. 'The Daily Show' pretty much has cornered the parody news and politics market (although the same could be argued about the 'Weekend Update' segment on 'Saturday Night Live'). The concept has potential. There are many sports fans that love comedy and vice-versa. There is also already a built-in audience from using The Onion's brand.
Other attempts have been made at genre news parody with the only stand-out being 'The Colbert Report' parodying opinion-style news. 'Chocolate News' didn't last long and don't get me started on 'The Half Hour News Hour.' Hopefully this show will have a longer run.
'Onion Sports Network' Picked Up by Comedy Central
Well, you're in luck: Comedy Central has given a series order to its 'Onion Sports Network' pilot, officially bringing the popular satiric newspaper and Web site to the network, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Ten episodes have been ordered of the scripted series, which will debut early next year; and anything in sports is fair game, from teams, to players, to fans, to products to, of course, other media coverage.
Comedy Central wants a bite of The Onion
Comedy Central has ordered a half-hour scripted pilot based on the Onion's Sports Network. The OSN is part of the popular satirical magazine's online TV news network that launched a little under a year ago.
This isn't the first time the network has tried to do a satirical sports show. Comedy Central also shot a pilot for a Daily Show-esque sports show called Sports Central that died in the pilot stage. This incarnation sounds much more promising since it will spoof not only sports figures and stories, but also the tone and style of sports media. Sweet sassy molassey, this is gonna rock!
Comedy Central Teams Up with The Onion for Sports Spoof
The as-yet-unnamed show is set to be a half-hour scripted comedy that'll poke fun at all sides of the intense, often wacky world of sports, including "teams, players, leagues, sycophantic fans, ridiculous products and over-hyped sports coverage," according to the press statement, and is aimed towards die-hard sports fans and the casual viewers alike.
Anyone who's familiar with the exceedingly clever and hilarious video clips on the Onion's Sports Network site knows that this show has the goods to score a comedy touchdown: Their fast-paced delivery, flashy graphics, soaring guitar soundtrack and on-the-scene interviews with earnest, passionate fans are spot-on send-ups of ESPN's 'SportsCenter' and its ilk.
Former CNN anchor now works...for The Onion?!?
It's becoming harder and harder to tell the difference between shows like The Daily Show and The Situation Room or The Colbert Report and The O'Reilly Factor. Oh sure, i can tell the shows apart. I just can't decide which is funnier. Sometimes I wonder why Sean Hannity hasn't won the Thurber Prize.
No one has exploited the news' foibles and follies better than The Onion. Their newspaper parody crippled news junkies with laughter and probably the newspaper industry, as well, which is a bigger shame for newspaper people since The Onion is free. Their mockery of the 24-hour cable news network was just as brilliant and parallel.
But the line between news and news humor has now gone from aluminum gray to a dark and smokey charcoal. They have actually hired former CNN anchor Bobbie Battista.
The Onion Office
You know, one of the great/sad things about satire is that sometimes it's almost too close to real life. Take this Onion headline:
CBS To Release Own Version Of NBC's The Office
Funny, yes, but given a television landscape riddled with unoriginal concepts, the idea of one network doing it's own version of another network's show (which, in turn, is based on another show) doesn't seem that unrealistic.
The Onion starts a 24-hour fake news network - VIDEO
With the folks at The Onion starting a 24-hour online fake news network called The Onion News Network, or ONN, the same problem occurs. The Onion's president, Sean Mills, told Variety, with tongue apparently planted firmly in cheek, that ONN is not trying to be like The Daily Show or "Weekend Update" on SNL. "Those are parody shows, and this is serious news," said Mills. "There's no studio audience, and no one's in on the joke. What we are trying to create is a broadcast-quality newscast on the Internet."
The Onion picks the openings that fit their shows perfectly - VIDEO
One of the saddest changes in the television landscape has been the disappearance of the theme song. They're really not that important to the people who create TV shows now (or the networks who want to get more commercials in). Lost has just a single note as their theme song, ER has changed and shortened their theme song, Jericho has static, and Heroes doesn't have a theme song or credits either.
Luckily, the shows that still have theme songs also have opening credits. Shows like The Office and Dexter all have theme songs and opening credits. They're classic TV openings. Of course, it's nothing like years gone by, where almost all shows had theme song and opening credits. The Onion has picked 22 that they feel fit their shows perfectly. I don't know if that is the same as "best opening sequences," but the choices are interesting, quirky, a little maddening, and they left out a few, as I'm sure you'll agree.
Onion "columnist" laments the early days of Studio 60
If you read through the essay, you can tell what argument they're mocking here: the age-old argument that Saturday Night Live was better when it first came on the air. But I like how it was mocked here; Mayer (a made-up name, by the way) decries how the show has slid downhill from its premiere episode from four weeks ago.
"In Studio 60's heyday, they would do this thing where Judd (Hirsch) would come out before the opening credits and deliver this long, angry monologue about the current state of network television. I used to sit in front of the TV, just waiting for him to unleash his famous catchphrase, 'It's not going to be a very good show tonight.' But they haven't done that for a while," he writes. He also laments how they keep using the same ten characters in every show and how the episodes all have the same structure. Funny stuff.
Is Hell's Kitchen too fake, even for a reality show?
Interesting piece by Noel Murray over at The Onion's AV Club. He calls Hell's Kitchen entertaining, but "one of the least transparent of the competitive reality shows." He argues that we always see the personal lives of the contestants on shows like Survivor and Project Runway, but that the players on Hell's Kitchen seem to have no life before or after the show.
But Hell's Kitchen comes from that weird extra-dimensional Fox TV Reality realm, where contestants have no apparent life before or after taping begins-aside from the inevitable glimpse of family members during the finale-and even the game itself seems completely stage-managed. I know Gordon Ramsay's a real dude-I've watched his terrific BBC series Kitchen Nightmares-but I've rarely been convinced that that any of the show's competing chefs have any real interest in cooking for a living, or that their "customers" are anything more than Fox employees and Hollywood extras. (I did see last season's runner-up Ralph on Iron Chef America, though who knows what happened to Michael, who in some kind of shady back-room deal took an apprenticeship with Ramsay over his own restaurant.)
Readers, do you agree?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The wife of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg will join Rep. Frank Pallone on the campaign trail.
Bonnie Lautenberg will tout Pallone's environmental record during an event at a former Superfund toxic waste site in East Rutherford Monday.
She and Lautenberg's children have endorsed Pallone to fill the seat left vacant by her husband's death in June.
In backing Pallone for the Democratic nomination, the family took veiled swipes against one of Pallone's opponents, Newark Mayor Cory Booker.
The family said Pallone knows gimmicks and celebrity status won't get you very far in the real battles that Democrats face in the future.

Hogan Tests
Talent Management > Identify > Psychometric Testing > HOGAN
Hogan's series of tests include the following three psychological tests which can be offered combined or separately:
Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
The HPI is designed to assess personal qualities that promote success in work, in relationships, in education and training, and in life. See more information and sample reports for the HPI
Hogan Development Survey (HDS)
The HDS measures eleven patterns of interpersonal behavior that tend to appear when a person is stressed, tired, or distracted. See more information and sample reports for the HDS
Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI)
Values, preferences, and interests are all motivational concepts: they differ primarily in terms of their generality—values are the broadest and abstract kind of motive, and interests are the most narrow and specific kind of motive. These motivational concepts tell us about a person's desires and plans, and they explain the long-term themes and tendencies in a person's life. See more information and sample reports for the MVPI
The Hogan Business Reasoning Inventory (HBRI)
The HBRI evaluates peoples' ability to solve different business related problems, and these solutions then drive decision making.

At the top of art, auction and collectibles news is a check with Neil Armstrong's John Hancock, pinup art, more in the fight over the Obama poster and a Constable that doesn't meet its reserve.
From The Boston Globe:
One giant signature for mankind
On July 16, 1969, a Saturn V rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral. Destination—the moon. Before the launch, astronaut Neil Armstrong wrote a check for $10.50, repayment of a loan from Hal Collins, the NASA chief of mission support. In time for the 40th anniversary of the successful mission, that check is going on the auction block. It's believed it will go for more than $19,000, the highest price paid for an Armstrong autograph to date.
From The Associated Press:
Hoarded art by 'quirky' collector could net $20M
Charles Martignette had a thing for illustration art, be it pinups or Norman Rockwell. And during his 57 years, he managed to indulge quite a bit in his penchant, amassing a collection of some 4,300 items. Described as a "character," he needed a 2,500-foot warehouse to stash the art. After his death more than a year ago, a relative inherited the trove and then sold it to a group of investors. Heritage Auction Galleries is selling the collection this week and estimates it will bring in $20 million.
From The New York Times:
Obama Poster Photographer Says He Owns the Picture
The case of the Associated Press v. Shepard Fairey is getting curiouser and curiouser. The AP sued Fairey for copyright infringement over the artist's use of a photo of Barack Obama in an iconic poster. But hold on. The freelance photographer who snapped the shot says the AP had no right to copyright it. So Mannie Garcia is suing both the news organization AND Fairey.
From The BBC News:
Constable fails to fetch reserve
Again, a story of a painting not being recognized as the work of a famous artist. In this case, last year, a bidder walked away with a picture for a mere £24,000 ($40,000). The new owner had it authenticated, and voilà, it turned out to be "Storm Clouds over Hampstead" by John Constable. Sotheby's put the painting up for auction with a presale estimate of £300,000 ($500,000) to £500,000 ($820,000). When the reserve price was not reached, the owner decided to keep the painting.
From The Associated Press via The Denver Post:
Warhol's Jackson portrait dropped from NY auction
The Michael Jackson death mania has affected a scheduled auction of his Andy Warhol portrait. An East Hampton, N.Y., house had put up the 1984 painting with a $1-million to $10-million estimate. Now with all things Jackson selling phenomenally, the official statement from the house is it wanted "the greatest number of prospective purchasers" to have the opportunity to bid.
From The New York Times:
Shepard Fairey Gets Probation
Shepard Fairey of the Obama campaign-poster fame is not going to the slammer for peppering public and private property in Boston with his art. Fairey got two-year's probation and a $2,000 fine. The artist was arrested in February on his way to a Boston Institute of Contemporary Art party for the opening of a, yes, Shepard Fairey retrospective. How embarrassing. Still pending is the Associated Press suit charging Fairey used an AP photo in that Obama Hope poster.
From The Los Angeles Times:
I return Bette Midler's stolen Emmy
Let's say you really wanted the Emmy that Raymond Burr got for "Perry Mason." And let's say you were outbid, so you went for the Bette Midler Emmy and other odd memorabilia that went with it and got the lot. That was five years ago, and you've wondered ever since why the Divine Miss M would have put up her first Emmy for auction. You mention this to D-List Kathy Griffin, and whoa, Bette Midler's people are on the phone.
From Forbes:
1,500-Year-Old Hidden Record Of Christ's Words
The Codex Climaci Rescriptus has a history worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. The sixth-century document with the supposed words of Jesus is on the block after a tortuous trek from a sacred monastery in the Sinai to Westminster College in Cambridge, England, to Sotheby's with stops in between.
From BBC News:
Cartier-Bresson photos 'not lost'
Henri Cartier Bresson, credited as the founder of photojournalism, was understandably upset when it was discovered that hundreds of his photos archived in France's National Centre for Contemporary Arts were water damaged. Although they were supposed to have been destroyed, Bresson's widow (he died in 2004 at 95) charges negligence on the part of centre since some of those photos are showing up on the black market.

In 2011 the kick returner for interim coach Everett Withers had 960 return yards, leading the whole conference with a 26.7 return average. Thorpe's play on the field got him as a finalist for the Johnny Rodgers Award, awarded to the top return specialist in college football, named after the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers. The then freshman was also honorable mention All-ACC for the `11. While last year the 6'0″/190 lbs returner only got two catches, it seems that with the new schemes that coach Fedora might miss Thorpe more on offense than on special teams.
Again I have to pull out the old saying of "it is what it is", and unfortunately what it is right now for the North Carolina football team is a lack of experience at wide outs, with just a couple of seniors followed by many under classmen that have little to no experience. Definitely not the way to start a new offense. The key to this is how long the young man will be out, if it is a long term ordeal, where he misses more than half the season, then the blow dealt to both the offense and the special teams will be a harsh one. If instead the young man is out anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks Carolina would have him for most of the season and the blow would definitely not be as bad. Either way I am beginning to wonder if it's the wide receivers that should wear the red jerseys for the pre season, since they can not afford anyone else getting hurt at the position.
In the end no injury is ever needed, but when it hits a group that is already pretty much at the bare minimum the injury just becomes even worst. Hopefully T.J. Thorpe won't be out too long and will be able to come back and have a productive season for the new spread offense. But most of all the first thing is that the wide out comes back when he is fully healthy as he does not re injures himself. Let me wish all the best to Thorpe as he goes through his recovery and finds out when he can be back on the field.

Shopping for headphones should be easy, but the array on display at your local retailers can leave you no choice but to seek the advice of a shop attendant, who are of course on commission. For some people, especially the younger generation, it is not just the sound quality that sways their decision when purchasing a new pair of headphones. Comfort, style and branding also play a large part in a search for the perfect pair. Practicality however, is the first consideration. Full size or 'over-the-ear' headphones are designed with padded ear-cups and a headband for improved comfort. The closed back of this style helps to eliminate ambient noise, which is one of the reasons why they are the industry standard for recording studios. Higher [&hellip

2014 World Cup: Ghana's opponents Portugal cut squad to 23
Even though he originally said he would not announce an initial 30-man squad for theWorld Cup, Portugal manager went ahead and announced one anyway last week.
He hasn't had any time with his team yet, but Bento's gone ahead and cut his team to 23 men anyway.
Portugal starts camp this week and won't play a friendly until May 31, when they take on Greece.
Why Bento even bothered to name a 30-man squad if he planned to cut it down to 23 before a single day of training camp and well before any matches were played is anyone's guess.
Goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, defenders Antunes and Rolando, midfielders Andre Gomes and Joao Mario and forwards Ivan Cavaleiro and Ricardo Quaresma were the players cut from the initial squad.
Here's the 23-man squad that Portugal will be taking to Brazil.
Goalkeepers: Beto (Sevilha), Eduardo (SC Braga), Rui Patrício (Sporting)
Defenders: André Almeida (Benfica), Bruno Alves (Fenerbahçe), Fábio Coentrão (Real Madrid), João Pereira (Valência), Neto (Zenit), Pepe (Real Madrid), Ricardo Costa(Valência)
Midfielders: João Moutinho (Mónaco), Miguel Veloso (Dynamo Kiev), Raul Meireles(Fenerbahçe), Rúben Amorim (Benfica), William Carvalho (Sporting), Rafa (SC Braga)
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Éder (SC Braga), Hélder Postiga (Lazio),Hugo Almeida (Besiktas), Nani (Manchester United), Varela (FC Porto), Vieirinha (Wolfsburg)

St. Louis (KSDK) - A coloring book about the Occupy movement?
A Clayton company is making waves again worldwide after releasing its latest coloring book, "Occupy."
It features puzzles, poems, and games surrounding the group of protestors.
The book has yet to hit shelves, but in the two days it's been online, 1,000 copies have been ordered.
Publishers with "Really Big Coloring Books" say the idea came about a month ago after watching footage of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Company officials admit the book was created for adults, but say it can be used as a teaching tool for kids, and insists the book was not meant to poke fun of any one particular group.
"I think people really need to sit back and relax and laugh a little bit on some of the things we do as a country. We're trying to be as fair and equitable as strictly as possible because we know we need to represent America when we make something like this," said Wayne Bell.
"Really Big Coloring Books" is also the publisher of the controversial9/11 coloring book released over the summer, as well as one on the Tea Party movement.
The books are on sale for $6.99 and can be bought online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the company's website.

Pork Rinds
lime, aleppo pepper
Head west out of Grand Rapids you'll soon find yourself surrounded by farms. Stop and take a closer look and you'll see the earth is an otherworldly jet black. This is because the people who settled the area came from the Netherlands, where most arable land was underwater. When they came here, they did what they knew: found a low lying spot that was under a few feet of water, drained it, grew grains and vegetables, and grazed animals. This is West Michigan agricultural terroir in a bottle: a place where the physical character of the land and the cultural knowledge of those who settled there came together to produce something that is not repeatable elsewhere.
You can only see this picture unfold when you engage the small family farm, cook seasonally, and let yourself be guided by what nature gives you. We fill our kitchen with foods raised by our friends and neighbors in ways that only they can. Our goal is to explore what it means to cook and eat here, in this place, at this time.
