Construction on a seven-story Hyatt Place hotel on Haywood Street at Montford Avenue should begin early this year and will take 14-18 months to complete.
- Filed Under
Hotel developers tracking lodging data know when there's money to be made booking new rooms for a thriving destination.
More than 3 million visitors stayed overnight in Buncombe County in 2012, and developers see plenty of room to add new hotel properties, particularly in downtown.
At least three major projects were announced in the past year, while the future is uncertain for a key property across from the renovated U.S. Cellular Center. ...

She is a very caring psychologist who makes you feel at ease. Very compassionate. Treated me 2009-2010 for bipolar disorder while I was at school and she really looked out for me to make sure I was taking advantage of all the available resources on campus. When things were so bad that I couldn't physically make it to my appointments, she took my call and went ahead with my appointment over the phone. I can not stress how much of a positive experience I had. This was my first time seeing someone and was really nervous, but I immediately fell at ease. Genuinly a nice and caring person.

One of the Taliban's most senior commanders has admitted the insurgents cannot win the war in Afghanistan and that capturing Kabul is "a very distant prospect", obliging them to seek a settlement with other political forces in the country. In a startlingly frank interview in Thursday's New Statesman, the commander – described as a Taliban veteran, a confidant of the leadership, and a former Guantánamo inmate – also uses the strongest language yet from a senior figure to distance the Afghan rebels from al-Qaida.

Read: The Rangers Top Line and How They Are Playing
Against the Islanders on Tuesday, Alain Vigneault put Derek Stepan in the middle of Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello.
Since being put together, Kreider has two goals, Stepan has two assists and Zuccarello has two assists.
According to Extra Skater, at 5 on 5 last night:
- Zuccarello: 21 shot attempts for, 11 shot attempts against. 16 shots on goal for, 4 against
- Kreider: 20 shot attempts for, 11 against, 15 shots on goal for, 4 against
- Stepan: 20 shot attempts for, 11 against, 15 shots on goal for, 4 against
Zuccarello had eight shot attempts, 5 on goal, 1 that missed the net, 2 that were blocked, Stepan had 7 shots on goal, and Kreider had six shots on goal and one shot that missed the net.
They played mostly against Mark Pysyk and Christian Ehrhoff
Stepan said after the game, to SNY's Nick Licalzi, that the line has worked because "the two wingers are great. Chris' speed alone is something that makes more space for me and Zucc to make plays and Zucc has been making great plays the last two games and he has been able to back the D off with Chris' speed and make plays underneath.
Zuccarello told Licalzi, "Kreids is a big body, strong, wins a lot of pucks. Step is one of the smartest players there is. He reads the game well, he is a good passer and smart. I fly around a little bit. It's going well but we have to stay humble and keep working the same way. It's just hard work that makes us successful."
Carl Hagelin told Licalzi that the line "looks good" and that Kreider's size and speed compliment how good Stepan and Zuccarello are with the puck.
Adam Rotter: The line has been really effective for the Rangers at creating chances and possessing the puck. It's three guys who didn't have the starts to the season that they wanted but have, especially Zuccarello and Stepan, come alive since being put together.

Tyson Beckford made some internet waves earlier this week after he told the U.K.'s Evening Standard that he "created" his girlfriend, 21-year-old Victoria's Secret model Shanina Shaik. Now Shaik is speaking up and while's she's not happy, she certainly isn't as outraged as the rest of us.
Here's what Beckford originally said:
"When I found her she was a regular girl. I helped place her with the right people, get her teeth cleaned, her body toned up… Everything changed and now everyone wants a piece of her. I hear people say, 'You can do better than Tyson.' I'm like, 'Really? Really?! I created her!'?"
First, in an interview with Frockwriter, Shaik argued that her male supermodel boyfriend didn't actually have all that much to do with her success.
To what degree do you think Tyson Beckford may have inadvertently helped your career by virtue of his media profile and the celebrity factor?
I don't think so. Tyson and I really keep our work separate and every now and then we'll go to events together. Sometimes we're just trying to make time together, because I work so much. Sometimes I say 'You've contributed to it'. But everything that I do with my work is separate. And also I never asked him for any help on anything. He just supports me and that's all I want.
GlobalGrind also caught up with Shaik, who told them exactly how she felt about Beckford's interview:
"I did not take his comments seriously. He has always supported me. But he did not make me. My mother made me… He's in the dog house, but I'll let him out if he's good."
Good for her. But if that were us, he'd be in that dog house for good.

Strength training for women will help tone your body and improve your overall conditioning. It uses progressive techniques with exercise equipment, such as machines, free weights and the weight or your own body to achieve the desired goals. This type of strength training program is designed around sessions that are intended to increase resistance gradually whereby to stimulate muscular development and strength which is helpful for a healthy more energetic physical wellbeing.
Women of all ages can benefit from routinely using strength training for women to help tone your body and maintain the look and feel you are after. However, it is critical for women over 50 to engage in activities that will help them stay more energetic and enjoy more vitality throughout their lives.
Women Over 50 Can Benefit from Strength Training for Women
At the age of fifty, women begin to experience changes in their bodies that can be manifested by the gradual loss of muscle mass. This often occurs just after menopause. Generally speaking, a woman can expect to see a decrease of about one pound each year of muscle mass. Strength training for woman after fifty can help offset this loss of mass, and help maintain weight.
The loss of muscle mass is considered to be one of the main reasons women after fifty begin to gain weight because they are not burning calories as effectively any longer. At the same time, the loss of muscle also can lead to a decrease in balance. When you help tone your body through strength training for women, you are helping to maintain a healthier body as well as your own body image.
Strength training for women is not just something that will strengthen muscles, it will also help in the following areas:
• Improve blood pressure levels and maintain them within acceptable limits.
• Help stabilize blood glucose levels.
• Decrease cholesterol levels.
• Increase self-esteem, which leads to less depression, stress, and anxiety.
• Stabilizes balance to help reduce injury from falls or other accidents.
• Helps to better manage the pain associated with arthritis.
Strength training for women is not the same as it is for men. Even though a woman does produce testosterone, it is not in ample enough supply to cause large muscles to be produced during training so there should be no fear of that to prevent you from using it to help tone your body.
Strength Training for Women and Diet
In order to receive the maximum benefit from strength training and to help tone your body better, you should make sure that your diet will support your efforts. Here are some of the foods that you should be consuming while engaging in your exercise program.
• Egg whites
• Fish
• Red meat protein from lean cuts of meat
• Yogurt
• Oatmeal
• Whole grain breads
• Brown rice
• Fresh fruits and vegetables
Many people believe that they should not be consuming any fats at all, but that is not the truth. The right kinds of fats are required in order for your metabolism to work correctly. Unsaturated fats can be found in avocados, mackerel, salmon, olive oil, natural peanut butter and raw almonds.
Strength training for women is recommended by the American Medical Association to help improve conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and fibromyalgia.

Kurtz Quarry
Fieldtrip Slide Show, 11-20-2004 (N)
Limestone Kurtz Quarry, Denver, PA - November 20, 2004
On November
20, 2004, 11 mineral collectors braved the inclement weather and visited the Kurtz Quarry
in Denver. This also was the first DMS trip
into this active quarry in a number of years. This quarry cuts through dense gray to black dolomitic
limestone of the Lower to Middle Ordovician aged Epler Formation and the Middle
Cambrian Buffalo Springs Formation with mineralization
occurring as vein fillings in brecciated limestone.
collecting group included 10 DMS members (Joe Meloney, Ken Casey, Tim Cretien, John
Osoinach, Karissa Hendershot, Guy and Wendy Sbriglia, Eric Hottenstein and his son Jake,
and yours truly) along with Jim Schoonmacker from the MGS.
most notable find of the day was again
made by Joe Meloney, whose
large plate of calcite crystals sprinkled with pink saddle dolomite crystals, purple fluorite cubes and
micro pyrite is pictured on the DMS web site.
We all came out of the quarry with slabs containing calcite
crystals, pink saddle dolomite crystals, fluorite cubes, and
veined chalcopyrite and/or pyrite.
Geologic Time
The Epler Formation consists of dark gray to black, very finely crystalline, interbedded
limestone and dolomite, which is exposed in the northern 4/5 of the quarry. The Buffalo
Springs Formation, which is exposed only in the previously mined cove along the southern
highwall, is a light to dark gray, fine to medium crystalline, laminated and interbedded
limestone and dolomite.
The rocks at Kurtz Quarry were intensely deformed from faulting and folding. A high thrust
fault (dipping approximately 70 degrees south), with a displacement of a few thousand,
separates the Buffalo Springs Formation in the southern part of the quarry from the Epler
Formation in the north. The rocks in the Epler Formation are not as intensely deformed as
those in the Buffalo Springs Formation. However, the Epler Formation is steeply dipping at
the fault, is cut by several faults with resultant fold development and dips approximately
15 to 20 degrees at the northern highwall.
Mineralization occurs in veins and in vug fillings in brecciated rock and includes:
Barite, which is rarely found as yellowish plates (5mm);
Calcite, which commonly occurs as massive white veins and scalenohedral
crystals and smaller colorless crystals;
Chalcopyrite, which occasionally occurs as golden crystals on and in the
Dolomite, which occurs as well formed, pink curved crystals usually
associated with calcite and fluorite;
which occurs as 3-4mm purple cubes or seen as purple sheen on fractures and joints;
Malachite, which appears as a green halo around chalcopyrite;
which is common as tiny pyritohedron forms associated with calcite and fluorite and as ¼
inch cubes in the green mudstone/limestone layer;
Quartz, which occurs as opaque masses in calcite and occasionally as
terminated clear crystals; and
Sphalerite, which is uncommon but sometimes occurs as red-orange masses
associated with calcite and dolomite. [Bob Asreen]

Random, Neurotic Memories of The Today Show
ABy Jeremy Adam Smith
So, apparently, on Tuesday I was a guest on The Today Show:
5. I liked the clip of Lance and his family that preceded my interview; he and his wife are really the stars of this show, and I'm not sure why Stacy and I were necessary, though I'm happy enough to chat about my book with any national TV audience. (Because I've become a media whore?) The night before, I'd had dinner with Lance and Matt and Patrick of NYC Dads. What a great bunch of guys and what great work they're doing.
6. I was dismayed that Willie Geist was filling in for Kathie Lee — because, come on, it's Kathie Lee! — but Willie seemed like an amiable fella. In person, Hoda came off as bigger than life.
7. I was quite sick that day, and the interview itself was a blur. I remember Willie looking pretty uncomfortable when I rejected the idea that stigma defines stay-at-home dads and when I brought up paternity leave. (Thought-ballon I imagined over his head: "Crap, he's not going to get political, is he? I thought this was supposed to be about stay-at-home dads!")
8. I'm pasting in the code from the clip without having actually watched the clip–and I don't plan on ever watching it, truth be told. I can't stand to see myself on TV.
9. Apparently, my son Liko can't stand to see me on TV either. Since we don't have a TV at home, he and my wife and my mother went to a diner with a big flat screen on 24th St. to watch the show. About two minutes in, Liko finished his breakfast, sighed heavily, and said, "Can I go home now?"
That's exactly how I felt! That's my boy!

CoastSmart Communities Program wants to
remind citizens that there are grants available to help
coastal areas prepare, respond and adapt to the effects
of flooding, shoreline erosion, increased storm
intensity, accelerated sea level rise, and other
anticipated impacts of climate change. Hurricane
Sandy was a deadly reminder of the dangers and risks
associated with living on the coast. In response to
Sandy's impact, the State has announced its request for
proposals earlier this year to provide applicants with
more time for per-proposal consultation and
by Governor O'Malley in April 2009, Maryland's
CoastSmart Communities program has awarded more than a
half-million dollars to coastal communities to help
prepare for the anticipated impacts of climate change.
In partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, the State will provide grants ranging
from $10,000 to $75,000 to coastal communities to
support the planning and preparation. In addition to
competitive grants, the State will offer on-the-ground
expertise, planning guidance, training and tools to
support local planning efforts.

from the University of Maryland, the Smithsonian
Environmental Research Center, and the Coastal Bays
Program have partnered with the Maryland Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve and other programs within the
Maryland Department of Natural Resources to increase the
resilience of coastal marsh and communities on
Maryland's Deal Island Peninsula in the face of sea
level rise. With a $598,645 grant from the National
Estuarine Research Reserve System' Science
Collaborative, the team is using the Collaborative
Learning methodology to identify which services provided
by marshlands are highly valued by local communities,
understand how current management practices impact the
marshes' ability to provide these services, and develop
a process for stakeholders to work together to conserve
and restore marshes for the future. In the process, the
team will conduct economic, anthropological, and
ecological research to better understand coastal
marsh systems and their surrounding communities, develop
a strong regional network for future collaboration, and
test a model for engaging a range of stakeholders in
ecosystem science and decision-making.
sea levels rise along Maryland's coast, marshlands are
degraded and lost; taking with them vital services-such
as protection from storm surges and inundation and
placing surrounding communities
serves as example of public/private partnerships
succeeding to restore our State's important coastal
Marylanders know Jessup for its Maryland Food Warehouse
district or, maybe without as much enthusiasm, the State
Prison. Few, however, realize there has been a
significant watershed restoration project taking place
in the middle of this busy industrial area. This project
shines a spotlight on the importance of public private
partnership for ecosystem restoration. The project came
into existence following a suggestion by DNR to the
State Highway Administration (SHA) that a particular
section of Dorsey Run that flows through land owned by
the State Prison system was in dire need of floodplain
and stream restoration due to the nature of a this very
impervious watershed. The floodplain is bisected by the
railroad on the north side of Dorsey Run, which cuts off
about one third of the floodplain. In addition, a very
long and deep historic ditch was starving the floodplain
of water on the south side of the stream.
2009, SHA agreed to fund the design and construction of
a restoration plan out of their Transportation
Enhancement Program for $304,000. In 2010, CCS's Habitat
Restoration and Conservation group was assigned as
contractor for the project and began working with
BioHabitats, Inc. on the site design. The main goal of
the floodplain restoration design was to permanently
plug the entrenched ditch so that storm water, during
high flows, would remain on the floodplain - now making
it an integral part of the riparian system instead of
what it was; a ditch that shot water out of the
floodplain to the down stream area with no infiltration
spring 2011, DNR's Engineering and Construction crew
started working on the site. However, before they could
get in with their backhoes and construction trailers, a
temporary access road had to be built using mulch and
timber-mats. Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE) and a
neighbor of Dorsey Run, Sysco Baltimore LLC, helped with
this phase of the project. Sysco allowed BGE to
stockpile the mulch needed on a designated area of their
busy parking area (lot). Working through the winter and
spring of 2012, the construction of the ditch plugs and
cobble weirs finally concluded with a large boulder
cascade at the confluence of the ditch with Dorsey Run.
The restoration technologies used to remediate the ditch
system and floodplain were: 9 earthen dams (for
infiltration of water), 3 cobble weirs (to control flow
and create macroinvertebrate habitat), 2 boulder
cascades (used at two confluence areas), and 2 seasonal
pools (to provide habitat and help hold storm flows).
This work created 11.5 acres of wetland, 0.8 acres of
wetland enhancement, and 1.985 linear feet of steam
wrap up the project and repair areas damaged by the
construction roads, the Maryland Conservation Corp and
CCS staff planted 260 native trees and shrubs
through-out the borrow area dug for the earthen dams,
and along 500' of the remediated ditch in November of
last year.
too much storm water still flows into Dorsey Run from
its surrounding watershed, the floodplain function of
this site is extensively improved and the project has
been a great example of how public/private partnerships
can work to help restore our State's important riparian
areas and fluvial ecosystems.

As part
of the King Tides Photo Initiative, the CoastSmart Communities Program is asking
for citizens' help in documenting the tides by taking
pictures of high water and flooding around their
neighborhoods. These high tides give researchers a look
at what future sea level rise may potentially look
experienced higher than average tides January 9th-13th
and many tidally influenced neighborhoods noticed
flooding. Pictures from this event, from the actual King
Tide in December 2012, and pictures post-Hurricane
Sandy, are up at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/MarylandKingTides.
photographs will be used in educational and outreach
materials to build awareness around how coastal flooding
affects Maryland's shoreline and infrastructure, as part
of Maryland's King Tide Photo Initiative. CoastSmart
will then use this information to help communities
prepare for coastal hazards and increases in future
flood events .
Tides ─ extremely high tides that occur twice a year
when the sun, moon, and Earth align, like those
experienced in December ─ serve as a tremendous
resource, by providing a potential glimpse into the
future as seas continue to rise and today's flood
becomes tomorrow's high tide. The next King Tide will
occur May 24th-27th.
Environmental Protection Agency fact sheet on King Tides
is available here.

Hotel Triton - a Kimpton Hotel
They have elevators. And they play music. But they definitely don't play elevator music. At Hotel Triton, a Kimpton Hotel located in San Francisco's Union Square, they're all about expressing individuality. You can see it in their vibrant, inviting guest rooms that shimmer with sunny yellows and greens. When you take in all the details -- like the fact the employees wear their own hip clothes, instead of uniforms -- you see Hotel Triton's not your typical cookie-cutter hotel. Instead, the hotel shapes an upbeat and inspiring experience for you with playful amenities, vibrant design and an independent spirit that reflects the city itself.
The hotel sits right at the Chinatown gate and is steps from Union Square, the Financial District and North Beach, some of San Francisco's most iconic neighborhoods. The employees are big on sharing their local secrets, so they'll tell you where to go to experience the city like a true insider.
It's been said that staying at Hotel Triton is a bit like kicking back at a friend's house. It's true they enjoy getting to know you through friendly and personal service, and love to have fun. That shines through in the hotel's daily complimentary evening wine reception that often features live music and tarot card readers.
Don't be shy -- invite your friends. The hotel has an outdoor patio perfect for social events and a small group meeting room that has hosted whiz kids from Microsoft and Madonna's stylists. They'll work out the delicious details of the menu and make sure your event is as original as they come. After all, Hotel Triton is not just any hotel.

A dream come true: Singing sensation Susan Boyle's rise to the top
Two years ago nobody had heard of Susan Boyle. Those days are long gone.
Susan sang Do You Hear What I Hear with New York-born mother-of-three Amber Stassi.
The Scottish star said she had chosen Amber from the thousands of entries because she has "a lovely, very beautiful voice."
Life is great for Susan at the moment. Her new album helped her make history as one of a few artists who have achieved a number one on both sides of the Atlantic at the same time, twice in one year.

Schumer: Senate Will 'Never, Never, Never' Defund Planned Parenthood
Posted By aaron On April 8, 2011 @ 2:21 pm In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
COMMENT: Regardless of your position on "pro-life" vs. "pro-choice," why should taxpayers have to fund Planned Parenthood?
Eric Scheiner
CNS News
April 8, 2011
(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) vowed yesterday that the provision to defund Planned Parenthood that passed the House earlier this year is "never, never, never going to pass the Senate."
Schumer made the remarks Thursday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., at a "Stand Up for Women's Health" rally sponsored by the National Organization for Women, NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
"The dangerous, ideological cuts to Planned Parenthood that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate," said Schumer. "Let me repeat that, so all those who want to stomp on women's health and women's rights can hear us loud and clear. The dangerous, ideological cuts to Planned Parenthood that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate."
Schumer said House members who voted to deny tax dollars to Planned Parenthood wanted "to go back to the 1950s."
"When it comes to the rights of women, they want to go back to the 1950's," Schumer said, "when women were denied access to safe, affordable and life-saving reproductive health services. Well, we are not going to let them turn the clock back. We are going to move forward. You are standing up for hard-won progress and I want you to know, we stand with you."

While this is probably a long way off for the end user, it's a fascinating technology. Most people today can't fathom using a computer without a mouse. Perhaps in a few decades, the same can be said for an eye movement sensor.

Team's best passer: check.
Team's best shooter: check.
Team's best defender: check.
Team's best rebounder: check.
Sounds like a description for former Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett doesn't it? Well actually it's an accurate list of skills held by current Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love. You can debate me (maybe) on him being the best defender on the team but even if it's a tie, my argument works (i.e. your argument for anyone else on the team even for say Corey Brewer is just as strong as mine is for Love).
The point: Kevin Love is Mr. Untouchable when it comes to this young team of players. When David Kahn gets calls with possible trade offers and they ask for Love, he needs to hang up right away without thinking twice. Put a gun to my head on who I would rather keep between Love and Al Jefferson (or Jonny Flynn or Ramon Sessions) and I would quickly tell you it's Love I want to see retire a Timberwolf after a long, long career here.
Don't believe me that Kevin Love is the best and most important player on this team? Let's take a look at the numbers first.
Rebounding: Yes folks take a look at the list on the link to HoopData's defensive and rebounding page. Kevin Love is the best rebounder in the league right now, just 13 games into his sophomore year. When he's on the court 1 in 5 missed shots end up in his hands, more than double the league average. You knew he was good but did you know he was this good?
Defense: As he is third in the league in defensive rebounding rate, Love is also the Wolves best defender. He rarely is out of position and although he doesn't block many shots, he is the Wolves best big man at defending the pick and roll out on the perimeter which is an underrated skill in the league these days.
Points Per Shot: Some of you faithful HTW readers (what are there like 2-3 of you?) will remember we looked at this newer advanced statistic this past summer in regards to a simplistic way in building a championship caliber team. The gist of it was this: Class A scorer's in the NBA shoot 12+ fg's a game at a rate of 1.3 points per shot or higher. Class B's shoot 12+ fg's at a rate of 1.2 pps or higher. A championship caliber team either has two Class A's (ex: Shaq/Kobe) with specialists around them or a Class A and two Class B's. (ex: Duncan/Ginobli/Parker). I'll spare you having to look at the Wolves awful stats right now, but the good news is Kevin Love is currently taking 11.1 shots per game with a 1.32 rat of pps. In fact over the last 6 games Love is averaging 12 fga per game at a rate of 1.375 PPS. Yes folks we have ourselves a Class A scorer on the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. Also to note over those last six games is the Wolves record: a very respectable 3-3.
PER, Win Score (Adjusted Win Scores) and +/- : A lot has been made out of all three of these newer advanced statistics, each of them with their own proponent/genius mathematician arguing for their case: John Hollinger of ESPN for PER, David Berri for Win Score (Dan Rosenbaum for Adjusted Win Score), and Wayne Winston for +/-. Rather than hash out which one is best and why (I wouldn't even know where to begin anyway) let's just point to the facts that we care about: All three (four) of them point to Kevin Love being the Wolves best player and one of the best power forwards in the league right now.
Here's how Love stands (as of 12/27) compared to the rest of the league right now:
- PER: 22.70, 17th Overall for 25+ min players, 7th for PF's behind Duncan, Dirk, Bosh, Landry, Josh Smith, and Gasol.
- Win Score and Adjusted Win Score:
- WS 14.13, good for 3rd best in the league behind only Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.
- AWS 8.58, good for 9th in league behind only this nice little group of stars: Paul, Lebron, Duncan, Gasol, Dirk, Bosh, Kobe, Nash and ahead of Anthony, Howard, Wade, and Durant. Not to shabby I'd say.
- Adjusted +/- (Love isn't listed simply for not having enough minutes yet. His +/- is on the MIN team page here.): +13.75, good for 13th in the league and the 5th best PF behind Dirk, Varejao, Josh Smith, and Gasol.
- I also contacted the esteemed advanced statistician and author of Mathletics, Mr. Wayne Winston who keeps his own adjusted +/- stats and who Henry has interviewed on TrueHoop with Part I here, follow-up here, Part II here, Part III here, and Part IV here. He had this to say on Kevin Love so far when I asked if his numbers said the same thing, namely that Kevin Love is the best player so far for the Wolves:
I agree Love has been best [on the Timberwolves] so far. His Adjusted +/- is +14.3. Also the following stat puts him in perspective. When Love is in and Hollins is out (he plays poorly with Hollins) the Wolves are 5.26 points better than average. The rest of season the Wolves are 14 points worse than average. If he would have played enough minutes this season the +14.3 would put him as 14th in the league.
Now if all of that isn't convincing enough (admit it though, you are thoroughly convinced) Love also passes the eye test with flying colors.
Here was one of my tweets from Saturday night's game:
Great find by Love of Sessions underneath for layup. Then Love lays it in next pos. No question the #Twolves should be posting Love up more.
Kevin Love is the Timberwolf I trust most with the ball in his hands and if I were Coach Rambis I would be upset on any trip down the floor where he didn't touch the ball. He has range out to the 3 point line now (10-19 on the season), he is the best passer on the team and is as good a player in the league as any at letting plays develop and letting guys get open before he finds them with a crisp and precise pass. I can't remember the last time I saw him make the wrong play. Not to mention his outlet passes are the direct cause of 2-3 extra fastbreaks a game for the Wolves. The only reason he isn't averaging 5 assists right now is that most of the outlets are hockey assists and he isn't getting enough touches in the offense, yet. All of this and I haven't even mentioned his knack for getting his big mitts on the ball after a miss better than any player in the league.
All of this is reflected in the Wolves improved play. Faithful Wolves fans who suffered through and watched the team's 2-16 start know that this is entirely different team with Love in the lineup that has gone 5-8 since his return. Certainly a lot of the turnaround can be credited with the Wolves finally getting it on offense in running the triangle but Love's presence in the triangle can't be ignored either. He opens things up with his deft passing and stretch 4 range, as well as the 4+ extra shots he adds to the team with his offensive rebounding. As Winston pointed out when Love is on the court he makes the Wolves +5 better than average and while he is out they drop to -14 below average. Bottom line: not only is he the Wolves best player but he makes everyone around him better too.
Before the season started a lot of people questioned whether Love and Jefferson could effectively play together. Those with doubts started to concoct trades for Mr. Kahn to ship Love out and keep Jefferson as the Wolves cornerstone of the future. It certainly looks so far like the two can succeed together and after only 13 games into his sophomore season, it's clear that Love is really the cornerstone of this young Wolves team and Mr. Untouchable in any future trade talks.

Unhappy with your child's schooling? Don't call the principal; start your own school. That's what a group of low-income African-American families from the Mantua community decided to do 30 years ago, and as this short video testifies, the results have been astounding.
Montessori Genesis II (MGII) was founded in 1976 by sixteen low-income Black families. The children of these families had had a very successful Montessori pre-school experience at the Early Learning Center in the Mantua section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These parents wanted their children to continue enjoying a high quality education during their elementary years. But there was no nearby elementary school prepared to follow up on the Montessori education that had been so successful.
The group of sixteen families joined together to take on this challenge. They solicited the help of two Religious of the Assumption nuns who were trained Montessori teachers to instruct their children and started their own school, Montessori Genesis II. Serving as something of a magnet, Montessori Genesis II now draws students not only from the surrounding community, but from throughout the Philadelphia area such as North Philadelphia, Germantown, Greater Northwest Philly and beyond. The quality of the education and personal growth afforded the students at MGII is such that when they leave, they can go out and successfully navigate the waters of all levels of higher education and post-academic life.

In April, the Carbon/Emery Motorcycle Association held its annual motocross which attracted hundreds of competitors from across the western states to compete. The event was so successful that professional off-road motorists were attracted to the dirt track, therefore leading to the scheduling of the first ever professional off-road race to be held at the Price track.
The professional event is scheduled for May 24-25, with races beginning at 8 a.m. both days. The event is not a typical motocross, in fact it is expected to be an off-road competition. The event is expected to draw hundreds of spectators, not to mention the hundreds of competitors that will be participating.
According to CEMA member Ken Kirkwood, "the event is unlike any that has ever been held at the track. We expect about 600 competitors to show up."
The event is part of the world off-road championship series (WORCS). Because the event will consist of professional riders, factory teams will be on hand.
The races are bound to bring attention to the once unheard of dirt bike track. In fact, the event just might put the track on top of the list for future venues.

November 3, 2006
By Michael A. Needham
North Korea has
decided to rejoin the six-party nuclear-disarmament talks it walked
out of last year. The world should welcome this decision but also
recognize that it is only an initial step toward North Korea's
It is important to
keep in mind that the six-party talks are a means to an end, which
is the complete and verifiable removal of Kim Jong-il's nuclear
program. North Korea has made clear through its rhetoric and
actions that it wants to keep its nuclear program. To accomplish
its goals, North Korea has played one country against another using
two strategies: belligerence and negotiation.
The Belligerence
For the past year,
Kim Jong-il has tried belligerence, most notably by testing a
long-range Taepodong-II, among other missiles, on July 4 and
conducting a nuclear test on October 8. Kim Jong-il likely sought
to raise the stakes and damage the six-party coalition. If one or
more of America's international partners in the six-party talks
(China, South Korea, Japan, or Russia) blinked in response to the
tests, he believed he could drive a wedge in the coalition.
His belligerent
behavior, however, had the opposite effect and drove the
international coalition closer together, further isolating North
Korea. Moreover, he also angered his closest, and possibly only,
ally-China. Reports indicate that in September, Beijing cut off
crude oil sales to North Korea.
The Negotiation
Kim Jong-il failed
at his belligerence strategy and so he now appears ready to return
to the bargaining table. His aim in negotiations will be to
transform the confrontation from its current state-Kim Jong-il
versus an international coalition committed to his country's
denuclearization-to one perceived as being between North Korea and
the United States.
Kim Jong-il almost
succeeded in transforming this standoff into one perceived as being
only between the United States and North Korea by insisting on
one-on-one talks. The Bush Administration resisted both
international and domestic requests to engage in these talks. Now,
Kim Jong-il will try to accomplish his goal by claiming the United
States is being unreasonable on various issues at the bargaining
negotiations, North Korea will raise contentious issues-such as
financial sanctions, the sequencing of benefits for North Korea
should it choose to abandon its nuclear program, and the
verification procedures that will be put in place once it makes
that decision-in the hope of splintering the international
The issue of
financial sanctions provides a good example of how North Korea
hopes to implement its negotiating strategy. Financial sanctions
are not a part of the nuclear issue. A number of countries-such as
the United States, Japan, Australia, and China-have placed
financial sanctions on Kim Jong-il because he illegally
counterfeits American currency, and likely other currencies. Kim
Jong-il has claimed he will consider denuclearization if these
financial sanctions are lifted.
In other words,
Kim Jong-il wants the world to concede that he has the right to
counterfeit foreign currency; only with that concession will he
consider giving up his nuclear weapons. Some countries, especially
China, see counterfeiting as a minor issue compared to Kim
Jong-il's nuclear program. In China's eyes, an American concession
on this fundamental issue of national sovereignty would be
worthwhile. America, however, should remain firm on this issue and
must make clear to the Chinese and all other countries that North
Korean illicit activities will not be tolerated. Any perception of
weakness in the American resolve on this position could have the
harmful consequence of allowing Kim Jong-il to successfully make
financial sanctions a wedge issue in the U.S.-China approach to
North Korea.
Kim Jong-il has a
lot to gain from negotiating. If he denuclearizes, the
international community would provide him significant direct
financial assistance, which would offset the sources of revenue he
has lost due to the crackdown on his illicit activities, namely
counterfeiting, narcotrafficing, small arms smuggling and so
Because of his
past actions, however, he must prove that he is serious about
negotiating with the international community and becoming a
responsible national leader. To do so, he needs to take steps such
as withdrawing troops from the Demilitarized Zone, standing down
missiles, and, most significantly, freezing his nuclear materials
and allowing international inspections.
Kim Jong-il's
decision to return to the negotiating table proves that with the
right amount of pressure, he can be forced to change his strategy.
The risk is that the international community will weaken its
strong, multi-country approach aimed at forcing him to
denuclearize. For the process to be successful, China, South Korea,
Japan, Russia, and the United States must work together to keep the
pressure on North Korea.

A study published only yesterday in the scientific journal PLOS ONE says that juvenile dinosaurs born roughly 75 million years ago had to always be on the lookout, seeing how certain crocodyliforms they shared their natural habitat with were quite keen on turning them into their next meal.
Up until now, most such studies concerning the rivalry between these two species of reptiles focused on how large crocodile-like creatures and adult dinosaurs interacted with one another.
In other words, the main focus was on trying to figure out whether or not ancient crocs fed on giant, grown-up dinosaurs.
However, new evidence suggests that juvenile dinosaurs also ran the risk of being eaten by a small crocodyliform, Live Science informs us.
While analyzing fossils collected from various parts of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah, the scientists who embarked on this research project came across several dinosaur remains dating back to 75 million years ago.
By the looks of it, these fossils came from a species of herbivorous dinosaurs, and some of them displayed bite marks which were proof enough that the animals had at one point been attacked by an animal fairly similar to modern day crocodiles.
Interestingly enough, the researchers even managed to retrieve a conical tooth which was stuck inside what used to be the thighbone of one such juvenile dinosaur and whose width was one of just 2.5 millimeters, suggesting that the animal which attacked the young reptile was by no means a large one.
"I was very surprised to find such clear feeding traces on such small bones. It shows the importance of carefully evaluating all the fossils collected from an area, and not assuming that some fossils won't be important just because they are very small or not completely preserved," argued researcher Clint Boyd.
"Usually people tend to focus on the dangers that big, adult dinosaurs were having to deal with, but this study shows that even though dinosaurs were the dominant animals during the Cretaceous, they still had to worry about predators as soon as they were born," Clint Boyd went on to explain.
