North Carolina Tar Heels forward James Michael McAdoo (43) scores as Florida State Seminoles forward Okaro White (10) defends in the first half at the Dean E. Smith Center. / Bob Donnan/USA TODAY Sports
The return of Terrance Shannon to the Florida State lineup was supposed to herald the physical, aggressive ways of old for the Seminoles. When he stepped onto the court against North Carolina Sunday, it was hard not to root for Shannon and the Seminoles, to believe that one last string of wins could build momentum for the upcoming ACC tournament.
Instead, on Shannons first offensive play, he turned the ball over at the top of the key, giving a clear breakaway for a UNC player, and even though it was clear Shannon could not catch him, he still lunged forward trying to do so, and in the process committed a silly foul.
The Seminoles were caught chasing a lot of the Tar Heels as UNC defeated FSU 79-58 at Chapel Hill, N.C. Sunday afternoon. It looked like the Seminoles were in deep to start the game, when North Carolina jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead, but Florida State settled things down, eventually leading 16-15 with about eight minutes to go in the first half. They would not head into the half with the lead, though, as the Tar Heels out scored the Seminoles 31-11 to end the first half.
North Carolinas scoring barrage came from James Michael McAdoo, who scored 11 points during the Tar Heels game-changing 14-2 run in the middle of the first half. McAdoo finished the game with 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting. While the Seminoles limited McAdoo in the second half, they could not contain Reggie Bullock who scored 12 of his 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in the second half. Some games, a team can knock down anything they throw into the air, and that was the case for UNC this game against FSU. The Tar Heels shot 55.4 percent overall (58.1 percent in the first half) and knocked down nine of their 15 three-point attempts. UNCs Team even scored a field goal, when a pass from UNCs Joel James was knocked in by a Florida State defender.
Florida State, meanwhile, couldnt get anything consistent going on offense, finishing the game shooting 37.1 percent overall. They were led by Michael Snaers 17 points, but that came on 5-of-18 shooting. Devon Bookert finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
While the prospects of the season appear more and more dire with this loss against North Carolina, there is still the hope that the Noles can build enough momentum for a late run in the ACC Tournament. To do that, it will start with a win against Virginia, who Florida State takes on this Thursday at 7 p.m.

Drone wars to come? PolicyMic reports:
In the lead up to Pakistan's general election on May 11, former cricket star-turned-politician Imran Khan has again vowed to shoot down American drones if elected. Given that most polls show Khan ahead of Nawaz Sharif (previously thought to be the favorite), there is a very real chance that Khan will become Prime Minister.
Drone strikes have increased dramatically under President Obama, and while Pakistan has always been publicly opposed to attacks conducted by the CIA, the possibility of a prime minister who has promised to shoot down the drones could make things very awkward for the U.S.
Khan has long been a fierce critic of the U.S. drone war in Pakistan, leading anti-drone protests and even being removed from a plane and detained by U.S. immigration officials on a trip to New York last year. According to Khan, he was "interrogated on [his] views on drones" while he was detained.

WPIAL-bound Springdale duo makes history
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Springdale's girls tennis team joined the WPIAL in 2007 but played all of its matches on the road before finally receiving a home court suitable for competition against other schools this season.
After that, it didn't take long for the Dynamos to bring home their first championship.
Springdale juniors Margo Corsetti and Rebecca Kern made team history when they claimed the Section 3-AA doubles title last week and earned a trip to the WPIAL Class AA tournament, set for Thursday and Friday.
"It's definitely cool to be a part of this," Corsetti said. "Just being a part of this whole team is fun. Having the title, hopefully this gets more people interested in tennis and more people join the team in the future."
Springdale has about a dozen players — a decent turnout for a small school — to fill seven starting spots. Dynamos coach Bob Ochsenhirt believes winning a championship will create even more interest among girls in the Allegheny Valley School District.
"We have younger players who look up to Becca and Margo," Ochsenhirt said. "We're hoping with the younger kids, this will help light the fire. We're talking about the kids moving up from seventh and eighth grade and even grade school."
Kern thinks the chemistry she and Corsetti have developed on and off the court has been the key to their success. During team matches, Corsetti and Kern play No. 1 and 2 singles, respectively. However, they teamed for section doubles competition last year and lost in the quarterfinals, 10-7.
Corsetti possesses a powerful forehand, Kern produces consistent groundstrokes, and both are patient and communicate well, Ochsenhirt said.
"Margo and I work well together as a team," Kern said. "We're good friends. We don't get mad at each other. If something goes wrong, we just keep going. It's nice to have somebody who communicates well."
The opening of Springdale's refurbished tennis courts also helped, Corsetti said. The facility, located off campus in Cheswick, now features three courts. Before this season, the facility had only two beat-up surfaces and was used only for practices.
"With more courts, it's helped us get more doubles practice," Corsetti said.
In 2010, Corsetti and her older sister, Mimi, placed third in section doubles and qualified for WPIALs. Mimi is a freshman at Penn State and plays for recreation.
Earlier this season, Corsetti took third in section singles but lost in the first round at the WPIAL championships.
Corsetti and Kern could make more team history this week. The top three finishers in the WPIAL Class AA tournament advance to the state championships, which will be held Nov. 2-3 in Hershey. In Class AAA, the top two WPIAL doubles teams move on to states.
The Springdale duo will try to stay focused and enjoy the moment.
"We're just living it as it comes," Kern said.

Special Contributor Mike Graham gives three Red Raiders who could break out for the 2011 Texas Tech football season:
Unlike a lot of lists sports writers compile, there are a lot of potential comeback stories on the Red Raider roster. The 2010 squad was decimated with injuries but everyone seems to be back at 100 percent less than three weeks before the opening kickoff.
Here are three Texas Tech players that can have breakout years:
-- Leon Mackey, junior defensive end: Mackey has been dominant in fall camp practices and will play immediately after two years at Hinds Community College in Mississippi. There's speculation Mackey can play at the NFL level with one or two good seasons with Texas Tech. The Red Raiders won the prized talent in favor of a pack of SEC schools.
-- Alex Torres, junior inside receiver: Torres came on scene back in 2009 as one of Texas Tech's best outside receivers, catching for more than 800 yards. His career took an unfortunate turn as a sophomore last season though with nagging back injuries and his numbers were cut in half. Torres appears healthy and has been move to the inside where the Red Raiders can take advantage of his 6-foot-1, 199 pound frame.
-- Aaron Crawford, senior running back: Crawford is another guy coming off a plague of injuries and healthy for his senior season. The running back has been all but irrelevant since an impressive freshman year in 2007. Since then, Crawford has struggled to stay healthy between turf toe which required a medical redshirt, a shoulder injury and breathing problems. Crawford says he is finally healthy and he is the No. 2 running back behind Eric Stephens.

Topic: Just watched HOUSE OF THE DEVIL on HDnet movies. GOOD!
A nice throwback to the great occult horror films of the 70's and 80's. No spoilers since it opens in theaters this weekend, but I'll say that it has very good atmosphere and buildup that reaches a horrific conclusion. One of the very best horror films this year, imo. Don't go expecting a body-count slasher or a torure film, but it delivers on it's premise.

Writing functional applications with Functional Reactive Programming and Bacon.js
Update: on March 29 I updated the code for this app to make it clearer and more readable.
In my previous post I discussed the concepts behind functional programming. This blog will demonstrate how we can use these concepts to build applications with the help of Bacon.js — a Functional Reactive Programming library by Juha Paananen.
Themes of functional programming
It's important to remember the key themes of functional programming:
- Computation as the application of functions
- Statelessness
- Avoiding side effects
Bacon.js provides a set of abstractions that allow us to program in a way that matches these themes.
What is Functional Reactive Programming?
Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) focuses on values that change over time. Since programming in a functional style means we have to avoid mutation and side effects this can make things difficult in environments where things are constantly changing. User interfaces are a good example of this since a UI will often change depending on user interaction. FRP provides an abstraction that allows us to program functionally but still be able to deal with constantly changing values.
Conal Elliott gave a very good answer to the question "What is functional reactive programming?" on Stack Overflow. These are the key points:
- Dynamic values are "first class" — they can be combined and passed in and out of functions
- Events are a discrete data type where each occurrence has an associated time and value
Bacon also has "properties" which is similar to an event stream but has a "current value". As Juha explains on Bacon's Github repo "things that change and have a current state are Properties, while things that consist of discrete events are EventStreams. You could think mouse clicks as an EventStream and mouse position as a Property."
Building an application using Bacon.js
To demonstrate how we can use Bacon and FRP to write functional applications we will create a car grade and engine selector. This allows a user to choose a grade of a car and then a filtered list of engines available for that grade or vice versa. The application will have the following characteristics:
- The first list where the user makes a selection becomes the "primary" list. This means choosing an item in the secondary list does not filter the primary list
- On selection of a grade or engine the secondary list will be filtered according to the items available for that grade or engine
- The user should have a visual indication of which list is primary
- When the user chooses an item the total price is updated
- The user can reset all the choices they've made
In building this application I took a lot of inspiration from Juha's implementation of the common TodoMVC app by Addy Osmani using Bacon.js. Juha's app follows an MVC pattern and so did I for the grade and engine selector. You can view the application here.
Defining the model
The model uses a standard constructor which defines various properties on instantiation:
var SelectorModel = function(model) {
this.name = model.name;
this.items = model.items;
this.type = model.type;
this.price = model.price;
this.hide = new Bacon.Bus();
You'll notice that one of these properties creates a new instance of the
Bacon.Bus class. This is a custom event stream which other streams can subscribe to (using
this.hide.plug(stream)) and we can push new values into the stream (using
Defining the collection
Similarly to collections in Backbone.js I have defined a collection object that contains all models of a similar type:
var SelectorCollection = function(models) {
this.models = models.map(function(model) {
return new SelectorModel(model);
Defining the views
The application has two views: a List View and an Item View.
List View
This view is created with an associated DOM element and a collection. On instantiation it creates child views and appends these new views to itself:
var ListView = function(el, View, collection) {
this.el = el;
this.bus = new Bacon.Bus();
this.collection = collection;
collection.models.forEach(function(model) {
var view = new ItemView(model);
// Subscribes click events on the child view's input button to this parent
// view's 'bus' stream
}, this);
ListView.prototype.showPrimary = function(v) {
var primaryEl = this.el.find('.primary');
if (v) {
} else {
return this;
ListView.prototype.resetSelection = function() {
this.el.find('input').prop('checked', false);
return this;
Once again we've used the
Bacon.Bus class to allow us to publish and subscribe values to this view. When the child views are created we subscribe the child's
view.filter event stream (see below) to the list view's
bus stream. We'll see how this all ties together later on.
Item View
The item view is created with an associated DOM element and a model:
var ItemView = function(model) {
var that = this;
this.el = $(tpl(model));
this.input = this.el.find('input');
this.filter = this.input.asEventStream('click').map(model);
// When the view's model receives a new value we show or hide the element
model.hide.onValue(function(v) {
if (v) {
} else {
ItemView.prototype.hide = function() {
ItemView.prototype.show = function() {
A new Bacon event stream is added as a property to the view when the user clicks the input control. You can transform event streams using Bacon's
map method. In this particular case when a click occurs the view's model is the value that is actually published.
In the
SelectorModel we created a property called
hide which is a custom event stream. When this stream receives a value we can call a function using
onValue which in this view's case either calls its
hide or
show method.
Tying it all together
There is an
initialise function which creates two collections:
var initialise = function() {
var gradeCollection = new SelectorCollection(data.grades);
var engineCollection = new SelectorCollection(data.engines);
var gradeView = new ListView($('#grades'), gradeCollection);
var engineView = new ListView($('#engines'), engineCollection);
var reset = $('#reset').asEventStream('click');
// Merges the two parent views' "bus" streams & the reset button's stream
var gradeEngineList = gradeView.bus.merge(engineView.bus).merge(reset);
// Creates a property from the "gradeEngineList" stream
// This property receives either a "SelectorModel" object or an event object
var gradeEngineListProp = gradeEngineList.scan({
primary: 'none',
gradePrice: 0,
enginePrice: 0,
obj: {}
}, determinePrimaryView);
gradeEngineListProp.onValue(filter.bind(null, gradeView, engineView));
// We set the price
This function handles the core logic of the app and is where we really see Bacon and FRP's power come into play.
We start by creating two list views and adding an event stream to click events on the reset button. We then merge three streams together using Bacon's
merge method: the
gradeView.bus, the
engineView.bus and
reset which is stored in the
gradeEngineList variable. This is a very good example of how Bacon represents these dynamic values as "first class" data types. The three streams are stored as a value and can be mixed and passed around as we see fit.
Another useful Bacon method is
scan. This creates a Bacon property which has an initial value and on each event applies a function to the current value that returns a new value which becomes the property's "current value". In our case the
gradeEngineListProp variable uses scan with an initial object literal value and the
determinePrimaryView function:
var determinePrimaryView = function(v, obj) {
var type = obj.type;
var isGrade = type === 'grade';
var isEngine = type === 'engine';
// If the "obj" argument has a type of "click" then we know the reset button
// has been clicked and we reset the "primary" view
// Otherwise we set the "primary" view according to the object's type and set // the appropriate price
// The 'or' operator is used so that if the the user has selected a new item in // the "primary" view we can set the "secondary" price to 0
// If a "primary" view has already been set we retain this state
if (type === 'click') {
return {
primary: 'none',
gradePrice: 0,
enginePrice: 0,
obj: {}
} else if (v.primary === 'none' || type === v.primary) {
return {
primary: type,
gradePrice: isGrade ? obj.price : 0,
enginePrice: isEngine ? obj.price : 0,
model: obj
} else {
return {
primary: v.primary,
gradePrice: isGrade ? obj.price : v.gradePrice,
enginePrice: isEngine ? obj.price : v.enginePrice,
model: obj
This function receives the current value of the property as the first parameter. The second parameter is the value received by the
gradeEngineList stream so this is either the event object from the reset button being clicked or a
SelectorModel object. This function determines whether there is currently a "primary" list or not.
To filter a list we use the
onValue method of the
gradeEngineListProp property to determine which items need to be hidden and shown:
var filter = function(gradeView, engineView, obj) {
// If no primary view has been set then we reset the views
// Otherwise if a selection occurs in the "secondary" view then do nothing
// Otherwise we filter the "secondary" view and show the primary indicator
// on the "primary" view
if (obj.primary === 'none') {
resetViews([gradeView, engineView]);
} else if (obj.model.type !== obj.primary) {
return false;
} else if (obj.primary === 'grade') {
filterSecondaryView(engineView, obj);
setPrimary.call(gradeView, engineView);
} else {
filterSecondaryView(gradeView, obj);
setPrimary.call(engineView, gradeView);
var resetViews = function(views) {
views.forEach(function(view) {
.collection.models.forEach(function(model) {
var setPrimary = function(otherView) {
// If an item in a view is selected then we filter the other view
var filterSecondaryView = function(secondaryView, obj) {
// Are the items in the "secondary view" applicable to the model selected
var isApplicable = function(item) {
return item.items.some(function(itemName) {
return itemName === obj.model.name;
secondaryView.collection.models.forEach(function(item) {
var hide = isApplicable(item);
if (hide) {
} else {
Once again the full application is available here.
You will notice that in building this application we have followed the principles of functional programming:
- Computation as the application of functions
- Statelessness
- Avoiding side effects.
Using Bacon and FRP you can create apps that are simpler to write, referentially transparent and easier to test.

Ora arrived on Friday to spend inauguration weekend in DC and we spent the evening at Jbunny's for a wine night with the ladies. I absolutely adore my girlfriends. Over the years we've started to become very different from each other but they always feel like family. We can have a heated debate about a social issue one minute and then spend the next minute laughing hysterically at a funny story. After hanging with the girls, we ventured out to meet Secret Lover and J at Brass Monkey. In typical fashion, we danced the night away while belting out the words to every 90s throwback they played. It was a most excellent night.

U Street Music Hall where Moby DJed. The music was fantastic, Moby had such high energy, and the crowd was a lot of fun. We danced for hours! I also may have accidentally gotten the guy I was dancing with kicked out of the bar (I told homeboy he was getting too handsy and the bouncer standing next to us escorted him out immediately...ooops! Luckily he was a good sport about it and was totally cool when I bumped into him at D's house after the concert). My GW ladies decided to head home after Moby finished up but I stuck around with C to listen to Will Eastman for a bit and then we continued our

I definitely did not feel like braving the inauguration crowds on Monday so I spent the day holed up in my apartment with the roomie. Let me tell you, it was much nicer to watch the inauguration on TV than it was to brave the bitterly cold weather 4 years ago. After wathcing the inauguration, we caught some quality TV programs like Amish Mafia and Lifetime's Prosecuting Casey Anthony...it was nice to relax a little bit after a busy weekend!

A simple side dish.Prepared it for today's lunch,and Wow..this is my first quickest post :)
Lets read about Okra here
2 Cups Okra(Vendai/ladies Finger) -thin round sliced
1 medium sized Onion(Yellow/Red)finely chopped
Ground black pepper(as per taste)
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Split Urad dhal/Channa dhal(optional)
Few curry leaves
1/4 tsp turmeric powder.
2 tsp +2 tsp Oil
Salt(as per taste)
1.Wash the okra and using a napkin,drain the outside moisture using a napkin or with a clean cloth.
2.Slice the okra and spread them over a napkin or over a dry cloth for 1 hour.(This will mostly remove the skicky nature in Okra)
3.Heat a wide and shallow frying pan.Add 2 tsp oil and once its hot add the okra pieces and saute continuously on medium fire.Once the okra is 1/2 cooked,add the turmeric powder,salt(a pinch less than needed on a whole) and ground pepper(just a little less than needed for the whole procedure) and saute continuously until the okra pieces appears to shrink in size.
4.Remove the okra now.In the same pan,add 2 tsp oil and once its hot add the mustard seeds.Once it starts spluttering,add the urad dhal or channa dhal and once it becomes golden brown,add the onion,curry leaves,salt( the rest needed) and turmeric.Saute until the onion becomes translucent.Add the ground pepper a pinch and stir well.
Now add the cooked okra and fry for just a minute.
5.Remove and serve it as a side with any Rice and any curry,rasam,or Yogurt.

Shoap, an inspirational speaker, lives in Walnut Bottom with her husband Dave.
Both books are available at http://www.hispromises.com or by calling 532-7749. Electronic books are offered at Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. View a Xulon video trailer at http://youtu.be/dw4Dz9lvRjo.

"He ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them and broke the loaves apart and gave them to his disciples." (Matthew 14:19-20a).
Lord, you want me to do what with this bread? Have you seen the size of that crowd? Look at all of those hungry faces. There are over 5,000 people, and that's too overwhelming.
I have an idea. Why not just keep the bread for myself? I can bring it home and share it with my family. Besides, there is not enough to go around anyway.
Oh, you don't like that idea.
I have another idea. What if I only gave bread to the people I recognize? You know, the people who I like and go to school with, the people who can afford to pay me back for the bread later.
You want me to feed all of the people, not just the ones I know and like?
Well, I'll make you a deal. What if I test the people with doctrine. I'll ask them easy questions, like whether they believe in the resurrection or hell or heaven. I can also ask whether they think and worship and interpret the Bible like I do. That will narrow it down.
That won't work either?
Alright, then, I won't make this whole task about the people, I'll make it about the bread. I'll tell everyone that this bread is sacred, that you gave it to us and that we'll give them a piece only if they come to church with us.
You don't have to remind me that my church doesn't allow everyone in. Yes, I know that we have "Everyone Welcome" on our sign even though we don't really mean it. How else are we supposed to keep the riff-raff out? Surely, Lord, you understand that.
Oh, you don't?
Lord, let me see if I have this straight: I have to give this bread to the entire crowd?
Let me ask you a question, Lord. Do you know how many sinners are in that crowd? Take those folks sitting over there, for instance. They look like they can really hurt me. And you see those other folks? I don't want to gossip or anything, but I saw them at the bar the other night.
How did I know they were at the bar?
Yes, I was in the bar, but only for a few minutes and I had Brother Deacon with me.
No, I didn't tell anyone about you while I was there. The music was a bit loud and all.
I think I'll just go and feed the entire crowd now, thank you very much.
Hold on a second, Lord, look at what they're doing. They're sharing the bread with one another. Why, they can't do that. They have to be ordained or commissioned or something. Goodness, me! Look at the ones over there, the ones who have those funny ideas. They are sharing, too. We certainly can't have that, now, can we?
This is getting out of hand. No more bread, Lord, no more bread. This is too much!
What was that, Lord? What did you say? "Come, be blessed by my father... For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me... Just as you did for the least of these, you did it to me" (Matthew 25:34, 35, 40).
I'm not sure what you're talking about, Lord, so maybe you should go home. It's been a long day, and you need your rest. I'll just do it my way, OK?
Yes, I know you'll come back. I know what you said, but it's the only way to control the bread. When I look at that crowd, all I can think about is how out of control this whole good news stuff can really become. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll just play it safe and do it my way.

KOAT-TV reports (http://goo.gl/CsEBSN) that 27-year-old Jacob Williams entered his plea Thursday in Belen Magistrate Court and was ordered held on $500,000 cash-only bond.
Authorities say Williams' truck veered over a center line, killing 51-year-old Daniel Sanchez and seriously injuring his 11-year-old daughter, Magen.
A criminal complaint says breath tests found Williams' blood-alcohol level at 0.16 percent, or twice the legal limit of 0.08.
Sanchez's brother, state District Court Judge William Sanchez of Los Lunas, presided in a 2006 case in which Williams pleaded guilty to felony charges of vehicular homicide, great bodily harm by vehicle and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
Williams' attorney, Kari Morrissey, did not immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press.

TRURO — Two people were taken to the hospital Thursday afternoon after their Toyota 4Runner rolled over on Route 6 north of Prince Valley Road, according to police.
Rescuers were called to the scene at around 3 p.m. and found the car rolled over on the southbound side of the two-lane road, police Lt. Craig Danziger said.
The car had been traveling north when the 73-year-old driver dozed off, Danziger said. The car traveled across the center lines and then crashed after the driver was unable to correct the error, he said. An 80-year-old passenger and two dogs were also in the car. The dogs were taken from the scene by a friend.
The two people, both taken to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis with minor injuries, have homes off-Cape and in Truro, Danziger said.
The incident remains under investigation.

Unreal, but why does this not surprise me?? Like it or not, a major battle of the Civil War took place in Franklin. How those in power continue to avoid that fact boggles the mind here. If you are gonna commemorate a historical event, than do so without trying to be politically correct as they seem to be doing.
If folks out there don't understand that there were 2 sides who fought there, than why bother to even have a ceremony acknowledging what took place there??
When I read about the changes out there, I was thrilled to think, finally, they are recognizing just what happened there. Reading this article tonight makes me ill.
The Civil War came to Franklin on 11-30-1864. It should be remembered and those who fought and died there should be remembered as well. Why is that so hard for them to understand?

ED2012 Musicals Review: Wild West End (Paulden Hall Productions)
ED2012 4/5 Reviews ED2012 Musical Reviews
The greatest thing about 'Wild West End' is that it parodies aspects of almost every well-known musical, and yet is totally and wittily self-deprecating, aware that the storyline is very patchy, and making a joke of it. A collection of well-sung hits with original lyrics, the story follows Jackie, a rather effeminate young man who tries to write a musical, encountering the help of renowned characters not quite as we know them, like the Lizard of Oz, a very camp Phantom of the Opera, and a rather sexualised Dorothy. A perfect mix of energetic, audacious and absurd, it is the infectious enthusiasm and utter nuttiness of the versatile cast which really brings the humour of this musical theatre satire to life.

State House candidate Brian Banks
LANSING -- A state House candidate from Harper Woods who says he has changed after a history of financial crimes was still writing bad checks this year, court records and interviews show.
Democrat Brian Banks confirmed to the Free Press in September that he is an eight-time felon convicted of writing bad checks and credit card fraud between 1998 and 2004.
He said he has since turned his life around, earning a master's and a law degree and working on his doctorate.
But after the story appeared, reports and records of recent civil litigation involving unpaid rent and bounced checks surfaced.
• VOTER GUIDE: Everything you need to prepare for the November election
On Wednesday, a $3,751 judgment was entered against Banks for nonpayment of rent at a residence on Fleetwood in Harper Woods, records show.
Southfield attorney Ira Auslander said Banks bounced two checks to his client, landlord Dan Sylvester, and Sylvester will likely go to the police asking that Banks be charged.
"It's cost him a lot of money, and it's cost him aggravation," Auslander said.
In August, Banks was ordered evicted from a home on Berden in Harper Woods in a case that involved a judgment of close to $2,000, records from 32A District Court show.
In a brief telephone conversation Thursday, Banks said he was busy as a panelist at a conference and wouldn't comment over the phone. He said he would reply by e-mail after the conference ended.
Andrea Bradley, a Detroit attorney who represented Banks in the lease for the Fleetwood residence, did not return phone or e-mail messages.
After winning a five-way Democratic primary in August, Banks is favored to win the general election Tuesday in the heavily Democratic 1st District, which includes northeast Detroit, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods and part of Grosse Pointe Shores.
His opponent is Republican Dan Schulte, who is mayor pro tem of Grosse Pointe Shores.
Auslander said Banks moved into Sylvester's property in early May and soon wrote a bad check for rent. In October, a check for $938 that was supposed to partly pay rent arrears also bounced, Auslander said.
In 2010, Michigan voters barred felons with a conviction involving fraud or dishonesty in the last 20 years from holding state office if the crime was related to the officeholder's official capacity.
It's not clear whether House members could refuse to seat Banks under that provision. The constitution allows either chamber to expel a member by a two-thirds vote.

AshGold to sign only Emmanuel Baffour in second transfer window

Another Outreach Opportunity through Popular Media
When people talk about how the telling of the stories of the Bible never gets old, they are usually talking about content. The Rabbis of the collection called Pirke Avot wrote "turn it, turn it, for all is in it" (Pirke Avot 5:22) for they understood that the Torah is an infinite source of wisdom for us. I don't think that they had in mind the various forms that such a retelling would take. And I am sure that they didn't have in mind the latest animated film narrated by Ben Kingsley called "The Ten Commandments" which will be coming to a big screen real soon in your community. You can see the trailer here. It is the first of a series of 12 animated films whose theme emerge directly from the Bible. And while many of them have Christian themes, others focus on what might be described as nonreligious stories. The Christian religious community is already poised to take advantage of its release as an opportunity for discussion and engagement. Is the Jewish community ready to do the same?

The new administration line on the state of things with Obamacare appears to be, Not bad … close enough for government work … if the kids would just shape up and do the right thing …
First, vice president Joe Biden says that while the enrollments may not reach the goal of 7 million by the March 31 deadline, it is no big deal and, anyway, it will be close.
As Justin Sink of The Hill reports, earlier this week, Biden said:
"... the administration might miss its enrollment targets. "We may not get to seven million, we may get to five or six, but that's a hell of a start."
Try that in the private sector, one thinks, imagining old Joe trying to shine up a boss when his number has come in at around 2/3s of what he'd been projecting.
Then yesterday, speaking in Washington to:
… a gathering of Democratic donors and governors at a luxury hotel…
The president, himself, said:
… despite the botched rollout of the ObamaCare website, more than 10 million people now knew financial security because they had obtained coverage via the federal exchanges, Medicaid expansion, or the ACA provision allowing young adults to stay on their parents' insurance for longer.
This recalls the administration's defense of the stimulus bill. It may not have lowered the unemployment rate but it sure did "save and create" a lot of jobs.
Finally, the first lady jointed in the cheerleading and excuse-making for Obamacare by saying that the young people who are needed to make the scheme work but are not signing up are "knuckleheads" who cannot cook supper without injuring themselves and do not recognize what is in their own self-interest … i.e. overpriced health insurance the deductibles of which wouldn't cover the cost of sutures to close a cut inflicted by a kitchen knife and would be available (guaranteed issue) in the event it should really be needed.
They may be "knuckleheads" but they are a.) capable of responding to incentives and acting in their own self-interest. And b.) suspicious of big clumsy outfits that can't build a proper website.

Fremont, CA--Soraa, a company that specializes in gallium nitride (GaN)-based light emitters and was founded by blue-LED pioneer Shuji Nakamura and others, has announced its first product: a single-emitter white-LED spotlight designed to replace small halogen spotlights for commercial use. The lamp is made using Soraa's "GaN on GaN" technology, which replaces the ordinary non-lattice-matched sapphire or silicon carbide LED substrate with a piece of GaN, resulting in fewer crystalline defects in the LED and, says Soraa, more light and electrical current per unit area. Soraa (which was formerly called Kaai) has also developed GaN-based green laser diodes.
Closer to a blackbody spectrum
Another feature of the new lamp is the LED's spectrum. Rather than the usual blue LED and yellow phosphor, Soraa's product uses a violet LED and a wider-spectrum phosphor that more closely models the desired blackbody spectrum in the visible. Still another feature, says Soraa: sharp shadows for crisp commercial lighting. In comparison, halogen lamps have faceted reflectors that blur their shadows, while other LED lamps have multiple sources, also blurring shadows.
The convection-cooled Soraa lamp is equal in size to a halogen MR16 lamp and replaces the MR16 in use.
"I've been searching for a long time for a quality LED to replace an MR16 halogen," said Randall Whitehead, a leading U.S. lighting designer. "Soraa's lamp is a quantum leap over what is currently on the market, offering brighter light, dimmability, long lamp life, as well as dramatically improved energy efficiency."
Soraa's technology is based on research -- including Nakamura's -- done at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and fabricates its devices in-house. The company is backed by $100 million in funding from Khosla Ventures, NEA, and NGEN Partners.
