Developing a MVC Component/Adding Backend Actions
From Joomla! Documentation
Component tutorial - strange behaviour
Thanks for the documentation.
Was not sure where to bring up questions about if the actual component itself has an error in it or not. I have started a topic in the forum [1]
Step 6 is very difficult to follow
In the last 3 days i've gone through the tutorial from the start. I've been doing website development for a while (2 years) but am new to both Joomla and the MVC pattern. I hand coded everything into my IDE (netbeans) after reading through the article (I'd skim read through once, then go back and try and create the component) steps 1-3 are very simple and easy to follow.
So when I got stuck I went to compare my component with the zipped one supplied... uh huh... they were/are totally different?
Where did the admin 'controllers' folder come from?
Why is there only 1 controller file in the admin 'controllers' folder this seems redundant and unexplained - surely you only need a folder for controllers if multiple controllers are required? Doing this to the hello example seems to be complicating things unnessecarily.
Having re-read this step several times I don't think it's mentioned in 'Getting Down and Dirty: Doing the Real Work' you should have created the folder 'controllers' in /administrator/components/com_hello/admin (if it is it's certainly not obvious).
Step 4 begins to get complex and I think maybe where the root of my trouble with step 6 is (I think it would benefit hugely from the suggestions in: http://docs.joomla.org/Talk:Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_4_-_Creating_an_Administrator_Interface#Renaming_Part_4 ).
Step 6 doesn't give enough information about where the new admin files should be created and how they'd be named, it seems to supply source code with too little consideration to context in terms of filepaths. It would probably benefit to being broken down again into smaller parts.
I'll try and actually make recommendations about this in the next week or so (i'm at work at the moment so i'll try and do this from home).

Donors and Microinsurance
?Donors and Microinsurance,? is a booklet published by the Microinsurance Network that summarizes the findings of a study performed to determine activities and strategic plans of microinsurance donors and the determining factors behind the significant increase in donor involvement in recent years.
The study found that two thirds of microinsurance donors began participating after 2006 and most participation is a result of a desire to increase inclusion with the aim of poverty alleviation. The majority of organizations that participated in the study had in-house expertise in microinsurance, mainly in field activities such as product design and in areas such as policy, legislation and supervision. Most organizations decide where to donate based on an institutional geographic mandate, and there is a strong focus on Africa and Latin America. Involvement of donors is expected to continue increasing over the coming years. The study concludes that there is a great need for collaboration among donors to compare experiences to maximize effectiveness.

EAST LANSING - With ticket sales for the Outback Bowl lagging, Michigan State athletics director Mark Hollis is hoping that an end to the mourning period in the wake of the Spartans' loss in the Big Ten Championship Game will lead to new interest in MSU's Jan. 2 game against Georgia."Tickets are going slower than they have in the past, when we had thirty-some thousand at Orlando, and have had good numbers everywhere we've gone," Hollis said during a media briefing on Monday at the Okemos Outback Steakhouse. Hollis said Michigan State has sold about 5,000 of its allotment of 11,500 tickets for the game, which will be played in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium."Right now, we're at about 5,000 tickets, which is well behind where we have been in the past with the Capital One Bowl," Hollis said. "We're still recovering (from the end of the Big Ten football season), including the athletic director."Hollis said he walked the streets of Indianapolis alone, late into the early morning hours of Dec. 4 after Michigan State's hearbreaking, 42-39 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium. He said it was an emotional night for him, and he understands the period of mourning that Spartan fans have endured in the days since."We had huge fan support at Indianapolis for that Championship Game," Hollis said. "Obviously there is a little bit of a momentum issue coming out of that game. "As soon as I saw the beach (in the Tampa area), my mourning was over. But seriously, we are all disappointed. Our aspirations were to play in the Rose Bowl. When that fell through, there is disappointment. But you have to get over that. You have to move forward. You have to look at what this group of seniors brought to mid-Michigan over the past four years. They are deserving of a game."Realizing that fewer Spartan fans may be inclined to travel to the Sunshine State this year for a bowl game, due to the disappointment of not making the Rose Bowl, Hollis indicated that MSU will reach out to its alumni in Florida to help make progress in selling its allotment of tickets. "We are going to hit Florida pretty hard right now on a marketing campaign to get the twenty thousand or so alums that live in Florida out to the game," Hollis said. "It's reaching out to clubs, it's getting information in the hands of people that can drive anywhere in the southeast to get into that game."MSU has purchased billboard advertising in Florida in past years as a means of mobilizing its alumni in that state for bowl games."We are going to be doing a lot of reaching out, a lot of communicating," Hollis said. "When you look back at this year, and The Rocket, and Little Giants (from last year) and all of the excitement these guys have brought, and we think that's how this game is going to finish with Georgia."Hollis believes there might be a late rush of Michiganders making late decisions to follow the team south."We anticipate that people are still making decisions, and can still make decisions," Hollis said. "It's so easy to get to Florida, whether it be to Tampa, Orlando or other locations. "It's a unique location for us. We have never been to Tampa with the football program. There are new opportunities for fans from beaches to golf courses to the city itself. It's an amazing city. That's what we're trying to sell in addition to this great program."It's important for a program to have a following. We have demonstrated that we can do 30,000 at the Capital One Bowl."Obviously this is the first time the Big Ten has had a Championship Game, the first time they have experienced a team losing a Championship Game. That's hard for a lot of people to adapt to."The SEC has had it a lot longer. Georgia fans are entering this game a little bit different than Michigan State fans just because they have been around a championship game in the past and they have a better grasp of what it feels like."But I don't want to take anything way from this team. We are one play away from playing in the Rose Bowl. It's still something to celebrate, and an opportunity to win a game."If the crowd can come out for that class, I think that would be amazing. There are so many Spartans down there in Florida, we are just hoping we can attract some of them and have them come out for a great time but also for this team." Pickelman Out, Reynolds Moves AgainSenior defensive tackles Kevin Pickelman and Johnathan Strayhorn will miss the Capital One Bowl due to injury. Pickelman was lost to a knee injury during the Big Ten Championship Game, and Strayhorn went down to a knee injury late in the regular season.Pickelman finishes his career with 18 career starts. He was named honorable mention All-Big Ten (by media) this season. Strayhorn saw regular playing time as a reserve, especially as part of the nickel defense.With Pickelman out, junior Anthony Rashad White will return to the starting lineup. He started three games this year.Depth behind White and junior Jerel Worthy suddenly becomes a question mark for the Spartans. "I think it's always a concern when you lose two guys that have played for you inside all year," said defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi. "Rashad White is a great player and he'll be in there a lot and he has played a ton this year."Redshirt freshman walk-on Jordan Sanders saw a handful of snaps of quality playing time during MSU's regular season finale against Northwestern. He becomes a prime candidate to provide a few snaps of spot duty against Georgia.Also, well-traveled sophomore Micajah Reynolds will move back to defensive tackle for bowl practice. Reynolds has bounced back and forth from d-line to o-line several times in his short career. "I would say (the No. 3 defensive tackle) would probably be Micajah, but we'll see," Narduzzi said. "Micajah has been playing both ways in practice all year anyway so that will be no surprise."Salute At GraduationKeith Nichol was one of six Spartan football players who went through mid-year graduation ceremonies on Saturday at Breslin Center. Nichol, Pickelman, tight end Garrett Celek, offensive lineman Joel Foreman, wide receiver Brad Sonnag, quarterback Kirk Cousins went through commencement ceremonies over the weekend. Nichol wore a big smile as he crossed the stage at Breslin Center to get his diploma from president Lou Anna K. Simon.Simon shook hands with each of the thousands of graduates who crossed the stage on Saturday, but she paused a few seconds longer to receive Nichol. "She had something to say to me," Nichol said. "I was actually surprised that she even recognized me. She kept me there for a second, 'She said, 'Great job in that game. We're proud of you.' And she said, 'We're going to go out there and get 'em next time.'"Nichol felt humbled."She didn't owe me anything," he said. "I'm just another student. There are thousands of us out there, and that was a great moment that she gave me. "In the back of my mind, I was like, 'You know what? We did put our best effort out there. If the president of the university is proud of us, then I'm proud of myself too and the team should be proud.' And the classes behind us are going to go out and get that win; I know they will."Nichol finished his degree this semester in Supply Chain Management, which is a division of MSU's business school. "I was excited," he said. "You come in and you're like, 'Man, this degree is so far away. I'll never get this degree. This is going to take so long.' And then looking back at all the good times that I've had, and getting that diploma and wearing that cap and gown, and moving that tassel to the left, all of that stuff, graduating - you're alumni now, that's something that nobody can ever take away from you, and that's something that will take me farther in life than football will. It's just great to know that I have that and I'm very proud."She said it best when she told the entire graduating class, 'You're now a Spartan for life.' That was one of the better moments of the whole thing. She said, 'You are going to be a Spartan for the rest of your life and nobody can take that away from you.' That was a great feeling."It's a weird feeling. I remember just trying to figure out where I'm going to go to college and now I already have my bachelor's degree. It's crazy to say I'm Michigan State alumni now, but I'm glad I have one more game as a Spartan."Quotebook

East Holland
this wiki
East Holland is a neighborhood in northern Algonquin, Liberty City. It is bordered to the north by Wardite Street (Northwood), to the west by Exeter Avenue (North Holland), to the south by Topaz Street (Middle Park and Lancaster), and to the east by the Humboldt River.
East Holland is a working-class neighborhood, lending itself to an interesting contrast in this part of Algonquin as the much more affluent and upscale Lancaster neighborhood lies to the south. Given that the neighborhood is located quite a distance away from the heart of Algonquin, this part of the borough has a much more gritty, urban character than the areas to the south.
Unlike North Holland to the west, East Holland is primarily a residential area, with small tenements and townhouses serving as the main housing stock. There are very few high-rise buildings in the area and only one housing project (northern Algonquin is usually densely populated with housing projects). East Holland is territory of the Spanish Lords gang, who contribute to a large amount of crime in the area.
East Holland is heavily based on Spanish Harlem, an African-American and Latino community in Manhattan. Landmarks replicated in the district include the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building and The Taino Towers.
Points of interest
The LCPD has a major precinct in East Holland, the East Holland LCPD Station, which is possibly a NOOSE/LCPD joint station where an Annihilator spawns on the helipad. It is located at the intersection of San Juan Road and Topaz Street.
The Liberty City Subway system serves the neighborhood. The Vespucci Circus station, on the Algonquin Outer Line, is located at Vespucci Circus on Wardite Street, along the neighborhood's border with Northwood.
A second station, North Park, is located at the intersection of Denver Avenue and Topaz Street (along the East Holland-Middle Park border) and is served at all times by the Algonquin Inner Line.

- "That's what we are: ghosts. Waiting for you in the dark. You can't see us, but we see you. No matter whose cloak you wear: Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak, the Brotherhood Without Banners will hunt you down."
- ―Beric Dondarrion to Sandor Clegane
The Brotherhood Without Banners is an outlaw group working against Lannister interests in the Riverlands at the time of the War of the Five Kings, though their goal is to protect the smallfolk from any force preying on them, regardless of which King or Lord they support.
Known Members
- Lord Beric Dondarrion, Lord of Blackhaven.
- Thoros, a Red Priest of the Lord of Light from the Free City of Myr.
- Anguy, a champion archer from the Stormlands.
The Brotherhood Without Banners is formed in the aftermath of the Battle at the Mummer's Ford, in which the host assembled by Eddard Stark to arrest and execute Ser Gregor Clegane, under the leadership of Lord Beric Dondarrion, was ambushed. The survivors were trapped behind enemy lines, but led by Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, they formed the Brotherhood to harass Lannister forces. Over time, they began to feel that none of the factions in the War of the Five Kings, the Starks or the Lannisters, was looking out for the welfare of the smallfolk. Stark raiding parties would burn out farms in the Riverlands just to deny their resources to the Lannisters, and the Lannisters would do the same.
The Brotherhood therefore decided to fight for no "banner" of one king or another in the war, but to fight to defend the common people against raiding parties of soldiers who prey on the weak during the war. From the core group which was originally sent out by Eddard Stark - and contained some of his own household guards from Winterfell - the Brotherhood gained new members during the course of the war as it was joined by Stark deserters, Baratheon deserters, and simple commoners who wanted to defend their homes.
In short, the Brotherhood Without Banners are a rag-tag band of misfits who rob from the rich to give to the poor, making hit-and-run attacks then retreating back to the forests.
Season 2
At Harrenhal, the Lannister torturer known as the Tickler interrogates prisoners from a nearby village and demands to know where the Brotherhood is, what they are planning and which villagers are collaborating with them.[1]
After the poisoning of Ser Amory Lorch, Ser Gregor Clegane believes the Brotherhood Without Banners is responsible. Lord Tywin Lannister considers the name to be grandiose for a band of brigands and outlaws. Tywin is angered that the Brotherhood is operating behind the Lannister lines and harrying their forces with impunity.[2]
Season 3
Following their escape from Harrenhal Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry are ambushed by the Brotherhood as they attempt to make their way to Riverrun. The trio are questioned by Thoros, who mistakes them for war refugees, and invites them back to a nearby inn for food and drink. The Brotherhood also captures Sandor Clegane, who identifies Arya.[3]
The Brotherhood refuses to let Arya go, effectively making her their hostage. Meanwhile, Gendry chooses to join them.[4]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, a group of soldiers, knights, and armed peasants known as the Brotherhood Without Banners forms to help protect the smallfolk in the Riverlands from the depredations of the war and abuses of military forces, particularly the Lannisters but also Stark forces.
The core of the Brotherhood Without Banners are formed from the force of 100 soldiers that Eddard Stark himself sent out under the command of Ser Beric Dondarrion to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to justice when news came that Gregor was raiding villages in the Riverlands. In fact, it was Tywin Lannister's intention to goad Eddard into confronting him in order to use it as a pretext for war, and he knew Eddard's strong sense of justice would prevent him from letting Gregor's depredations of the smallfolk go unanswered. Thus the Lannisters anticipated this response and laid a trap for the men sent by Eddard at the Battle of Mummers Ford, in which most of the force was destroyed.
About a third of Dondarrion's force led by Thoros manage to cut their way out of the ambush, though Dondarrion himself was killed. His body was recovered, however, and when Thoros reflexively recited a prayer to the Lord of Light over his deceased friend, much to his surprise Dondarrion magically returned to life. The few survivors led by Dondarrion were cut off behind enemy lines, and decided to form the Brotherhood to continue to harass Gregor's Lannister forces, still following Eddard Stark's orders to make the Lannisters answer for their crimes. Eddard supplemented Ser Beric's expedition with members of his own personal guard, thus several members of the Brotherhood Without Banners are the last survivors of his household guard from Winterfell who accompanied him to King's Landing. One of them, Harwin, was even present when Eddard and his sons found the six direwolf pups in the first chapter of the first novel. They continue to fight in memory of Eddard Stark, but after seeing the suffering of the smallfolk as both Lannister and Stark forces burned out villages to deny them to the enemy, they began to fight for the ideal of protecting the smallfolk from both Lannister and Stark soldiers. It is stated that about one third of Dondarrion's original one hundred men died in the ambush at Mummer's ford, thus the original core group of the Brotherhood Without Banners consisted of about thirty to forty men (it is unclear how many were from Eddard Stark's personal guard), though this was later supplemented by smallfolk and deserters from different sides in the war.
By the second novel (the same timespan as Season 2 in the TV series), the Brotherhood Without Banners has become an irritant to the Lannister army at Harrenhal and Ser Gregor Clegane's men are trying to find the Brotherhood's leaders.
The "Brotherhood Without Banners" (or BWB) is also the name of George R.R. Martin's fanbase, particularly the part of which gathers around the Westeros.org forums. His fifth A Song of Ice and Fire novel, A Dance with Dragons, is dedicated to the Brotherhood Without Banners.

Wall Street Journal: PDX Next Art Capital? (And PNCA!)
In the latest Wall Street Journal, Peter Plagens asks whether Portland may be the nation's next "art capital." If the answer is yes, it puts PNCA in a good position, as Plagens' piece points to the important role that PNCA, its faculty, and alumni play in the region. Plagens writes about the Mayoral Candidates Forum hosted by PNCA's MFA in Collaborative Design program and moderated by program Chair Peter Schoonmaker. Plagens also mentions Guggenheim Fellow and Chair of the MFA in Visual Studies Arnold J. Kemp in comments about the role teaching artists play in the arts ecosystem in Portland.
Plagens visited FalseFront gallery to view an exhibition curated by PNCA's Laura Hughes MFA '10 (Visual Studies), and calls faculty member Crystal Schenk's Artifacts of Memory exhibition at Linfield College "a truly poetic stunner."
In his article, Plagens, who received pointers from PORT's Jeff Jahn, focuses on the role that alternative spaces play in Portland (in addition to the academic galleries), writing that they are "less about art's being—art objects displayed and for sale—than they are about artists becoming . . . " This notion could be applied to PNCA and Portland's larger arts community as well. As Plagens notes, artists like Storm Tharp, who recently completed a portfolio as a visiting artist with PNCA's Printmaking Department, are here because Portland gives artists the space to do the work they need to do. Becoming "Our Next Art Capital" may be hyperbole, but there's something happening here, and PNCA is in the thick of it.
Congressman Earl Blumenauer Selected as Commencement Speaker
At the 2012 Commencement ceremony, PNCA will be proud to graduate over 100 undergraduate and 25 graduate students from nine undergraduate and two graduate programs. The 2012 Commencement Address will be delivered by Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
About Earl Blumenauer
A lifelong resident of Portland, Oregon, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-3) has devoted his career to public service.
While still a student at Lewis & Clark College, Blumenauer spearheaded the effort to lower the voting age both in Oregon and at the national level. He was elected to the Oregon Legislature in 1972, where he served three terms and chaired the House Education and Revenue Committee in 1977-78.
He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996, creating a unique role as Congress' chief spokesperson for Livable Communities: places where people are safe, healthy, and economically secure.
A leading environmental advocate both in Oregon and in Congress, Congressman Blumenauer has authored and co-sponsored legislation to preserve and protect public lands, shift the nation's energy policy towards renewable energy and energy efficiency, curb global warming, and clean our nation's water bodies. He has worked on specific bills such as The Little Sandy Protection Act (2001), which enhances and protects the Bull Run Watershed Management Unit, the source of drinking water for the Portland metropolitan area.
Joe Sacco wins Pacific Northwest College of Art Graphic Literature Award
The first winner of the Pacific Northwest College of Art Graphic Literature Award at the 2012 Oregon Book Awards is Joe Sacco, for his book, Footnotes in Gaza.
Sacco's Footnotes was among an impressive list of work including PNCA alumna Aidan Koch's '09 (Illustration) The Whale, Graham Annable's The Book of Grickle, Sarah Oleksy's Ivy, and Greg Rucka's Stumptown.
Published in 2009, Footnotes in Gaza is a journalistic graphic novel about two bloody incidents during the Suez War. The book describes the author's quest to find out what happened in Khan Younis and Rafah in November 1956.
The Graphic Literature Award was created in April 2011 during a week that included a visit to PNCA by award-winning graphic novelist Art Spiegelman, author of Maus. Read more about the creation of the award here.
In 2008, PNCA's Feldman Gallery + Project Space exhibited a retrospective of Sacco's work. In the Oregonian, Brian Libby noted, "Sacco's work—mostly simple black-and-white, storyboard-like renderings in this show—brings alive the everyday reality of living amid violence. It's not about the violence toward him but instead the consequences for the innocent."
PNCA's Illustration program fuses professional practice with personal vision, pushing students to develop the hybrid skill-sets needed to flourish in today's dynamic, multi-media marketplace.

Arthouse Announced for North Park Blocks
The Powell family in collaboration with PNCA is set to build ArtHouse, a new PNCA student community project on the Powell-owned property adjacent to the North Park Blocks. PNCA's enrollment has doubled since 2004 to nearly 600 students and is expected to reach 1000 by 2018. The 7-story, 55,000 square feet building, in the location of the former Powell's Technical Books, will operate as art on different scales: from building as art, designed by Thomas Robinson, to spaces that showcase art, to places to make art. The building is planned for the Fall 2013 class.

Samantha Mash '13 Wins Prestigious Society of Illustrators Prize
Samantha Mash '13 has been selected to receive a $1,000 Nancy Lee Rhodes Roberts Scholarship Award for her work submitted to the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition. Her piece, Sculpture, depicts the back of a figure with mysterious horns and claws shrouded in the mystery of transformation. This award places her work among the best student work in the country for this school year.
Mash's winning illustration is modeled after something she saw in the Museum of Contemporary Craft during a class visit.
"My Visual Vocabulary class went to the Museum of Contemporary Craft last semester," mentions Mash, "and our instructor Martin French asked us to make an illustration inspired by one of the pieces on display. I decided to emulate the ceramic sculpture Untitled #5 by Manuel Izquierdo by taking his abstract form and turning it into a human figure."
Back in February, it was announced that Mash, Sera Stanton '12, and Jeffrey Versoi '13 had work accepted into the prestigious and highly competitive Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition. Open to all BFA illustration students across the country, 200+ images are juried into the show from over 7,000 entries.
"It feels really bizarre" says Versoi of learning that he was awarded this honor. "I've only learned last semester how prestigious this society is, and its just a real huge honor now. A real bizarre, huge honor."
In speaking about her approach to illustration, Mash cites a relentless process.
"I draw a lot and from all those sketches I turn a few into fleshed-out pieces," says Mash. "I normally sketch traditionally with graphite on paper and then scan this into the computer where I digitally paint and draw on top of the scan. It is sort of a long process and can take up to twenty hours or more on some illustrations, but I like how meticulous this method makes me."
PNCA's Illustration program fuses professional practice with personal vision, pushing students to develop the hybrid skill-set needed to flourish in today's dynamic, multi-media marketplace. Learn more about the Illustration program's current students and faculty on the Illustration Tumblr site.
Daniel Duford featured on Artforum's 500 Words
PNCA faculty member Daniel Duford has been featured in ArtForum's 500 words. He discusses his latest ceramic pieces, which are featured in the exhibition "Portland2012: A Biennial of Contemporary Art," on view at the White Box.
"Vessels, myth, the written word, and narrative are my foundations," Duford professes. "Because of my work with comics, I learned the value of sequential imagery. I see comic cells like ceramic shards that possess a physical dimension—they can be manipulated and assembled, spatially, to enrich a narrative and connect it to other physical objects."
Duford has been a vital part of the PNCA community for years. He has taught a variety of classes including a Graphic Novel Intensive and upper division classes such as Senior Critique Seminar and Theory and Practice. His work will be exhibited in the Museum as part of an inaugural Hallie Ford Fellows exhibition in January 2013.

MFA in Visual Studies Alum Performs in NYC
Faculty and Alumnus Sean Joseph Patrick Carney releases a new book at Printed Matter, Inc.
After receiving acclaim from Jezebel and Gawker for his previous publications, Carney releases his newest book, #DRUGS, at the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists.
Social Malpractice Publishing is pleased to announce a special event at Printed Matter, Inc. Carney will perform at 6:00 pm on Friday March 23 at Printed Matter, Inc (195 10th ave, New York, NY 10011).
#DRUGS, a new book by Sean Joseph Patrick Carney, is a collection of nonfiction essays by the artist detailing events centered around self-administered psychedelic experiences. In conjunction with the book launch, Carney will deliver a special stand-up performance recounting some of the hysterical hysteria that ensued while under the influence. These stories, simultaneously funny and sad, speak to the recklessness of youth, male camaraderie, immersive experience, and both the sincere and superficial reasons we get high.
About Printed Matter, Inc
Printed Matter is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists. Founded as a for-profit alternative arts space in 1976 by artists and artworkers, Printed Matter reincorporated in 1978 to become the independent non-profit organization that it is today. Originally situated in Tribeca, Printed Matter moved to SoHo in 1989 where for twelve years the book displays and artists' projects in the large storefront windows contributed to the artistic and intellectual vibrancy of the neighborhood. In 2001 Printed Matter relocated to Chelsea, where it continued to foreground the book as an alternative venue - or artistic medium - for artists' projects and ideas. Finally, in December of 2005 Printed Matter moved into our current storefront location in Chelsea with big windows and greatly increased display and exhibition space. Recognized for years as an essential voice in the increasingly diversified art world conversations and debates, Printed Matter is dedicated to the examination and interrogation of the changing role of artists' publications in the landscape of contemporary art.
Betty Feves Exhibition Featured on OPB
The upcoming Betty Feves retrospective was featured on Monday's edition of Oregon Public Broadcasting news.
In a web article titled "Pendleton Artist Subject of Retrospective," April Baer of OPB followed the Museum's staff as they traveled to Pendleton to visit the private home of Feves and get a first-hand look into the work of a woman with a modernist approach to northwest ceramics. Baer wrote "The staff of the Museum of Contemporary Craft is having Christmas in March this year. They're unpacking the life's work of the late Betty Feves, a sculptor who worked on the vanguard of clay construction in the late 20th Century. She's the subject of a 40-year career retrospective in an exhibition that opens this Thursday."
Read the article to get a first hand look into the unpacking of Feves work, and listen to the podcast that was featured on the radio.

In early January, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder jointly announced new federal guidelines on school discipline. Why? "Racial discrimination in school discipline is a real problem today, and not just an issue from 40 to 50 years ago," said Duncan. Want numbers? The new guidelines have plenty:
"The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), conducted by OCR, has demonstrated that students of certain racial or ethnic groups tend to be disciplined more than their peers. Continue Reading →

Facebook profiles and other social-media accounts are closer to legal privacy protections in Colorado.
A Democratic House committee voted 11-0 Tuesday to bar most employers from requiring access to their worker's personal accounts.
The bill does not prohibit companies from looking at Facebook pages or punishing employees for what they post on their personal sites. But the bill prohibits required password disclosure of personal accounts.
In their effort to vet job applicants, some companies have started asking for passwords to log into a prospective employee's accounts on social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter. Critics call it an invasion of privacy.
Colorado's bill was amended to exempt law enforcement agencies. The measure awaits one more committee vote before it's considered by the full House.

Problem Solving
Can Kobe pass the Lakers into contention? How good can Chicago be? Should OKC worry? Let's look at some big questions. Kevin Arnovitz »
THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS commandeered the Bristol Lounge in Boston's Four Seasons Hotel to nosh on lobster tacos, New York strip steaks and crispy fried chicken wings while they monitored their NBA playoff future.
It was April 23, 2015, and the newly configured big three of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love had just edged the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series, which left the Cavs one win from a sweep.
James had retired to his room to host a small group of friends while his teammates relaxed and glanced at snippets of their next potential opponent, the Chicago Bulls, whose overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks flickered on television screens throughout the lounge.
The Cavaliers' mood was light and lively. As the clock ticked toward midnight, the Cavs turned their attention to the climax of the Golden State-New Orleans game. Irving, Iman Shumpert and James Jones whooped as the Warriors charged back from a 20-point deficit to steal an overtime victory behind a series of outlandish Steph Curry bombs. Curry checked out with 40 points, which prompted a family member of the Cleveland entourage to declare, "Maybe you guys should start paying attention to them."
Irving was having none of that. Looking ahead just one round to Chicago made him queasy enough; projecting all the way to the Finals against Golden State seemed reckless, arrogant even. Although his team was in control of the series against the Celtics -- no team in NBA history had come back from a 3-0 deficit -- Irving couldn't shake his uneasiness about finishing the job.
"We're not done here," Irving reprimanded. "[Brad] Stevens is damn smart. He's coming at us with something new, so we better be ready.''
Even though the Celtics had been beaten by an average of 9.7 points in the series, the youngest head coach in the NBA lingered in Cleveland's psyche, Irving says, because Stevens already had accomplished what every coach sets out to do when his club is outmatched: prevent the deeper, more experienced, more talented team from settling into a rhythm.
Pablo Torre, Jackie MacMullan and Baxter Holmes discuss two different sides of the retiring Lakers star: his obsession with great mentors, and how he dealt with a devastating Achilles rupture three years ago.
Antawn Jamison feared for his teammate, who was slumped over in the locker to his right, whose feet were drowning in ice water buckets, knees buried beneath ice bags. Through 14 NBA seasons, Jamison had never seen anyone so worn down, someone who, though four months shy of his 35th birthday, moved, Jamison said, like a "105-year-old woman," who sounded so exhausted that when Jamison asked, "Bro, you all right?" his teammate, who by then had played more than 54,000 total minutes -- nearly 6,000 more than any NBA player ever at that point -- could barely even speak.
Others feared too. "We gotta protect him!" Dwight Howard would plead to Lakers coaches, and the coaches tried. "You've got to come out," head coach Mike D'Antoni would beg his star at the end of every first quarter, but the star's response was always the same: "I'll tell you when I need to come out."
The toll mounted.
Jamison and guard Chris Duhon would stare at their teammate, the star, slumped over in his locker, crumbling. Game after game, the cycle repeated, and after each one, Jamison, inches away from the haggard soul packed in ice, knew it wouldn't last, knew disaster loomed. "Man," Jamison believed, "there's no way this guy is going to make it."
From Stephen Curry lapping the legends to the team lighting up the scoreboard, here are 72 reasons why Golden State is so lovable.
1. THE WARRIORS' AVERAGE OF 13.1 MADE 3s PER GAME IS THE HIGHEST IN NBA HISTORY.
From April 9 to Dec. 12 of last year, the Dubs won 28 straight, the longest streak in 44 years. And their 54-game home winning streak, which was snapped by the Celtics on April 1, is the longest in NBA history.
"Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed." -- Steph Curry
Let's just come right out and say it: The best player in the world suffers from a previously unreported and crippling addiction. To popcorn. The ball boys in opposing arenas know to fill his locker with a stash of it. In New Orleans back in October, he received a massive satchel of the stuff before going out and scoring 53 points. Inspiration? Probably not, as a man who once lost minutes to Acie Law needs no extra motivation. After the 53-point explosion, Curry was informed that coach Keith Smart, who'd benched Curry for Law in the dark days of 2011, had offered congratulations. "Tell him I could feel Acie Law breathing down my neck," Steph quipped.
Steph is on pace to make 40 more 3s over this season and last (683) than Larry Bird did in his 13-year career (649). Curry has already hit more in that span than MJ did (581) in his 15 years.
Gruff and sardonic, Andrew Bogut isn't a fan of political correctness and traffics in an especially off-color brand of humor. Once, Festus Ezeli, who's Nigerian and Christian, couldn't find his shoes. "Oh s---, bro," Bogut said. "Boko Haram took all your s---!" Ezeli laughed at the wrongness of it all.
Something seemed off about Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Matthew Dellavedova during last Thursday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
He was held scoreless in 17 minutes of action, taking six shots and missing every single one of them, in perhaps the coldest shooting performance of his career. But if you'd looked closer, you would have found that something was indeed off -- or, to be more accurate, something was missing. In each of the prior 15 games, a wearable gadget had been strapped to the wrist of Dellavedova's guiding hand. On that night, for the first time in over a month, Delly's left wrist was bare.
The device that had been occupying Dellavedova's wrist is called a Whoop, and it's built to track fancy stuff such as heart rate, body temperature and body movement during both awake and sleeping hours. Think Fitbit, but for the million-dollar athlete. (It is not, mind you, built to help a point guard's shooting, so any correlation between Dellavedova's poor showing and the absence of his Whoop is surely coincidental.)
There is, however, one problem with it: The Whoop is prohibited under league rules.
For most of March, Dellavedova wore the Whoop (pronounced like "hoop," not "whoopee cushion") without repercussion from the league office, which bans wearable technology for use in games. Ten years ago, such a rule had little impact on the game; players had no use for velcro-ing a Blackberry on their arm. But behind the scenes, more and more teams are using hi-tech, body-monitoring devices such as Catapult accelerometers -- worn underneath the jersey, and ostensibly not during the games -- to track workloads and movement in the name of injury prevention. Catapult's client list now includes 19 teams, up from 12 last season. But while devices such as Catapult and Whoop are deemed legal for practice, games are decidedly off limits.
On Thursday last week, the league office was made aware of Dellavedova's gear and informed the Cavaliers that it would not allow the health tracker to be worn during the game. Ever since, the black strap on Delly's wrist has disappeared.
It's no coincidence that a teammate of LeBron James was wearing a Whoop. The company, a Boston-based startup founded in 2012 by Harvard graduate Will Ahmed, recently hired James' longtime personal trainer Mike Mancias as an advisor. James, a four-time MVP, dons the wearable device just like Dellavedova, but not in games.
You may have seen James' Kia K900 commercial in which he tried to dispel the Internet-fueled rumors that he doesn't drive the sedan with a $49,000 sticker price. As James sits in the driver's seat during the 30-second spot and peers into the camera, you can spot a black tracker wrapped around his right wrist. Whoop, there it is.
"At the elite level," Mancias says in a recent Whoop press release, "it's no longer just about outworking your opponents to get an edge."
On Sunday, Dellavedova confirmed to ESPN.com that he has to take off his Whoop before games now, but offered no comment. Whoop, there it isn't.
LOS ANGELES -- In early December 2011, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was working out at an Equinox Fitness Club when his phone rang.
Chris Paul was on the line.
Paul appeared to be on his way to Los Angeles to join Bryant in the Lakers' backcourt after the team struck a deal to acquire the MVP-caliber point guard from the New Orleans Hornets.
Bryant said the phone call lasted about 20-30 minutes, and they weren't talking about how many games they planned to win together.
"You know me. My dream isn't to win games," Bryant recalled to ESPN this week. "It's like, 'How many of these titles are we going to win [together]?' Because if we don't win, we're a failure."
"It was crazy," Paul told ESPN this week. "It was exciting. We talked about potentially being teammates and all that stuff like that. Then, in the blink of an eye, gone."
In a move that stunned the basketball landscape, then-NBA commissioner David Stern nixed the deal for "basketball reasons," a term that instantly became infamous among Lakers fans.
"WoW," Paul tweeted in response at the time.
Ultimately, Paul was traded instead to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Paul and Bryant will face off for the final time this week, as the Lakers and Clippers are scheduled to play each other on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Leading up to the back-to-back, both players gave thought to what could have been and believe they would have formed a dominant backcourt duo.
"It worked for the Olympic team and stuff like that," Paul said. "I played in a lot of All-Star Games with Kobe. I don't know how many, but I remember one of them, we said, 'As long as we're both on the same team playing this game, we're not going to lose,' just because we both know how competitive we are."
Bryant agreed.
"When we played together in every All-Star Game, we never f----- around," Bryant said. "It was like, 'Listen, the guys have their fun, but now let's do what we do.' I knew how competitive he was, and I knew it would be a perfect fit. We just kind of talked about what we're going to do, how we're going to scheme to get things done. Unfortunately, it never happened."
Rick Carlisle was a mere five games into his season with the New Jersey Nets when he fielded a call from head coach Bill Fitch. It was November 1989, and Carlisle, who was 30 years old and nursing a damaged shoulder, knew what was about to transpire. Roy Hinson was eligible to come off the injured list and, Carlisle said, "I was pretty sure when he came back, I'd probably be the one let go."
As he feared, the ever-direct Fitch got right to the point.
"You're waived ..." he told Carlisle, drawing out the words for emphasis.
That prompted Carlisle to embark on his rehearsed speech to thank Fitch for the opportunity, and the encouragement, and the ...
"Wait, I'm not done yet," Fitch barked.
And then -- just like that -- as Fitch snatched one job away from Carlisle, he offered him another, as an assistant coach on his staff.
Twenty-seven years later, Carlisle is one of the most respected coaches in the game, the man who steered the Dallas Mavericks to their first (and only) championship in 2011. He has earned his reputation as a superior tactician who relies on a no-nonsense, tough-minded style, much like his mentor Fitch.
Fitch retired 18 years ago with 944 career wins. He has appeared on the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame ballot but hasn't been chosen, mainly because of his career 1,106 losses. Carlisle insists that number is misleading, since Fitch specialized in taking over lottery teams and turning them into playoff teams, which he did in Cleveland, Boston, Houston, New Jersey and Los Angeles (Clippers).
Carlisle points to his former coach's innovative strategies and attention to detail (Fitch was a former Marine Corps drill instructor) as two of his biggest strengths.
"But Bill was also way ahead of his time in terms of video and scouting and helping players get better," Carlisle noted. "There's a reason why Larry Bird has said Bill Fitch is the best coach he's ever had."
Fitch was a Hall of Fame finalist in 2015, but was not inducted. This year, he was not among the names who advanced to the final stage.
Carlisle doesn't want to wait to see if Fitch qualifies the next time around. He wants to honor him now.

When decorating the outside — or the inside — of your home for Halloween, it can be easy to overlook the windows. Don't do it! A well-decorated window can make a big difference, turning your nice, lived-in home into the picture of a terrifying haunted house on Halloween.
The Mummy Window decorations adheres to the inside of a pair of double windowpane doors, making it look like the mummy is trying to escape.
This is the coolest, if you have windows on either side of your front door — or any pair of 60″ x 36″ windows — looks like a giant Halloween black cat is inside the house looking out!
Stick-on blood splatter for your windows! Highlight these by hanging a white sheet and dirtied gauze behind them as a curtain. Some polyester spiderwebs wouldn't hurt, either.
Black Widow Window (say that five times fast) is a dramatic Halloween window decoration that looks like a giant 3D spider crawling up the window. Heads will turn.

If there's a Black family of comedic aristocracy, it's the Wayans of New York. With older brothers Keenen Ivory and Damon, and big sister Kim preceding him, whether it was natural or a mistake for Marlon to follow them, the former clearly is the answer. As a teenager, the then 16-year-old Marlon made his film debut in older brother Keenen Ivory's I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. After graduating from high school in 1990 and two years as a student at Howard University, Marlon dropped out and took a role on In Living Color. He later teamed up with his brother Shawn on Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and later on television on The Wayans Bros. Continue Reading →

"The island that belongs to birds, humans are welcome" is the slogan for the world's first internationally-owned reserve known as Cousin Island.
Fifty nine Seychelles Warblers have been transferred from Cousin Island Special Reserve to Frégate Island Private thanks to a Nature Seychelles led initiative.
The illegal felling of mature trees on La Digue island, the stronghold of the Critically Endangered Seychelles Paradise-flycatcher has been exposed by the local media.
Nature Seychelles (BirdLife Partner) has won the 2011 International Innovation Prize from the World Leisure Organisation.
Arriving on Cousin Island Special Reserve, visitors will not fail to notice the enthusiastic group of female wardens who will welcome them to the island. It might be the driver of the boat, one of the people pushing the boat or the person leading a tour of the island.
The latest issue of Zwazo, Nature Seychelles' (BirdLife in Seychelles) bi-annual conservation magazine is on climate change. It contains accounts of activities being taken locally, in the region and globally to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Nature Seychelles (BirdLife Partner) have launched an innovative project to restore damaged corals in Seychelles called Reef Rescuers - Restoring Coral Reefs in the Face of Climate Change at its office the Centre for Environment and Education in Roche Caiman in the presence of Seychelles Minister for Investment, Natural Resources & Industry, Peter Sinon, US Ambassador to the Seychelles Mary Jo Wills, partners from government and the civil society, and other guests.
President James Alix Michel has congratulated Nature Seychelles (BirdLife Partner) on the work it has undertaken, which has resulted in Cousin Island Special Reserve becoming the world's 1st carbon neutral nature reserve.
Cousin Island has become the World's 1st carbon neutral nature reserve. This exciting success story for Seychelles and the conservation and eco tourism world in general is the result of a rigorous carbon footprint assessment, assurance process and investment in high quality carbon credits to offset the footprint.
Cousin Island Special Reserve has become the first IBA - Important Bird Area - branded site in the Seychelles and the Western Indian Ocean region. The IBA branding states publicly that Cousin island is of outstanding value for bird conservation. IBAs are sites of global importance for birds and their conservation, defined and listed by BirdLife International, the world authority on birds.
Cousin Island Special Reserve has recorded a phenomenal eight-fold increase in abundance of nesting hawksbill turtles since the early 1970s based on new analysis of data, a scientific paper published in the Endangered Species Research journal has revealed. The increase is directly attributed to the ongoing turtle conservation program on Cousin started in 1972.

Following the testimony of General Petraeus before the Senate last week, I am now prepared to accuse President Barack Obama of a major cover-up on the Benghazi consulate catastrophe.
This is how the cover-up was put in place:
1. The CIA was aware from the first minutes of the attack, that an al Qaeda affiliate had targeted an under-protected United States consulate in Benghazi. As Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, General Petraeus was notified of this intelligence. General Petraeus immediately notified the Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and President Obama, of this atrocity.
2. President Obama, in the middle of a close-run election, and on the advice of his Chicago campaign hacks, immediately determined to shut down any reference to a terrorist attack until after November 6, 2012. The atrocity would be down-played as a consequence of mob hysteria emanating from a viedo-tape deemed to be disrespectful of the Prophet Mohammed.
3. President Obama first plays the Paula Broadwell card to shut down Petraeus. The General, desperate to keep his job, determines to place his own interests above those of his nation. By publicly indicating that mob hysteria provoked the atrocity, Petraeus covers Obama's back.
4. With Petraeus in the bag, Obama now silences the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense. Both individuals are aware of the lie, and are unwilling to put their personal reputations heavily on the line.
5. So with Witch Number 1 sidelined, Obama turns to Witch Number 2, the unsuspecting Susan Rice. Fed with the lie, and ignorant of the truth, Rice goes hog-wild on the media pumping out the mob hysteria story.
6. With the election over and won, the time has come for Obama to take down a General whom he never liked and always feared politically. So the Paula Broadwell story is released, and General Petraeus resigns.
7. However, with little or nothing now to lose, the General comes relatively clean before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Even though he is not placed under oath – and that shows the depths to which the Democratic-controlled Senate has descended – Petraeus at last demonstrates why he carries all those medals on his chest.
8. Now we impatiently await a 21st century Woodward and Bernstein to unravel the entire dirty plot. Deep-Throat is already defined. DP are the abbreviated letters through which that shadowy figure is already identified.
Tags: all the president's men and women, Bengahzi-gate unfolds, Petraeus comes clean, where are Woodward and Bernstein?
