When You Cut into the Present the Future Leaks Out at Old Bronx Borough Courthouse
When You Cut into the Present the Future Leaks Out at
Old Bronx Borough Courthouse
New York, March 19, 2015 – No Longer Empty (NLE) is pleased to present When You Cut into the Present the Future Leaks Out at the Old Bronx Borough Courthouse. Curated by Regine Basha for No Longer Empty, the exhibition is one of seven projects to receive the Neighborhood Challenge Award. Built 1905–1914 and attributed to architects Michael John Garvin and Oscar Florianus Bluemner, the Courthouse, once boasting granite floors, lavish stairways, and bronze doors, remains adorned by a statue of Lady Justice. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Bronx County, the Beaux Arts-style building has been shuttered for 37 years.
The Old Bronx Borough Courthouse is taken as both site and theme: a time capsule, witness, and symbol existing within a plurality of narratives about its future role in the neighborhood. Referencing a quote by Beat generation poet William S. Burroughs, When You Cut into the Present the Future Leaks Out echoes approaches attributed to cut-up poetry, early Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, and the sculptural practice of artist Gordon Matta-Clark, who sliced into urban spaces as social commentary. The exhibition will occupy three floors and include the works of 26 artists and site-specific works commissioned by NLE.
Viewing Hours: April 23–July 19, Thursday–Sunday, 1–7pm
Location: 878 Brook Ave, Bronx, NY 10451 (at East 161 St and Third Ave)
Artists: Daniel Bozhkov / Melissa Calderón / Beth Campbell / Paco Cao / Onyedika Chuke / Abigail DeVille / Teresa Diehl / Nicolás Dumit Estévez / Deborah Fisher & Paul Ramírez Jonas / Ellen Harvey / Skowmon Hastanan / Adam Helms / Iman Issa / Lady K Fever / Michelle Lopez / Iván Navarro / Juan Betancurth & Daniel Neumann/ Shellyne Rodriguez / David Scanavino / Todd Shalom (Elastic City) / Lisa Sigal / Julianne Swartz / Xaviera Simmons / Valerie Tevere & Angel Nevarez
To activate the empty space and directly involve the community members, NLE will host public programs and activities. An estimated 20 events will include cultural and educational events. Visit the exhibition website for latest list of programs and descriptions. Bi-lingual support materials will be available where appropriate.
Community Collaborators: ArtsConnection / Bronx200 / BronxNet TV / Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance (BAAD!) / Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education / DreamYard Project / Ed García Conde, Welcome2TheBronx / The Kelly Street Community Garden / New York Public Library Community Oral History Project / Office of the Bronx District Attorney / Percent for Green

My Favorite Mistake: Marina Abramovic
Byline: Marina Abramovic
On her ill-fated attempt to look like Brigitte Bardot.
When I was 14, I thought I looked terrible. I wore these typical Slavic shoes with metal bottoms so you could always hear me coming and this really ugly princess skirt and blouse with the top button closed. I had a boy haircut, a baby face covered with pimples, and a really big nose. My only dream in life at the time was to have Brigitte Bardot's nose.
I would go through all the newspapers and cut out every single photograph of her. I would show them to my mother and beg her to let a surgeon fix mine, and every time she would slap me and say, "Appreciate your nose." But I was the black sheep; every time she slapped me I only wanted to rebel more. So I devised this perfect plan. My parents had a big matrimonial bed with sharp edges, and the idea was to spin around on the bed as fast as I could with the Brigitte Bardot photographs in my pockets. Then I would fall on the edge of the bed, break my nose, and when I arrived at the hospital they would see the Bardot photographs and fix my nose to look like hers. Easy.
So one Sunday morning, I spun around in circles on the bed. I fell, but of course I didn't bang my nose on the sharp edge--I just cut my face. My mother heard this terrible crash and came into her room to find me lying on the floor with the photographs scattered all around me. She slapped my face, and that was it.
I failed to break my nose, but later realized it was the best thing that ever happened to me. A Brigitte Bardot nose would look ridiculous on me; my nose fits my face very well as it is. The whole thing was also a kind of childhood performance, and going through such a tremendous amount of pain to achieve what I wanted definitely reflects my work today. …

scribed it as "a kind of spiritual testament of a now old and exhausted pope." If it makes moral theologians unemployed, it will keep ecclesiologists busy for a long time.□
( October 8, 1993) Veritatis Splendor, Pope John Paul II's encyclical on moral theology, was to have been promulgated Oct. 5. Days before the U.S. bishops had the 170-page document in their hands, excerpts were appearing last week in European newspapers.
What is the new encyclical for?
The introduction describes the "specific purpose" of the encyclical thus: "To set forth the principles of a moral teaching based upon Sacred Scripture and the living apostolic tradition, and at the same time to shed light on the presuppositions and consequences of the dissent which that teaching has met (with)" (paragraph 5 in text).
That suggests a positive and a negative aim: to expound the foundations of Christian morality in the light of scripture and tradition, and to denounce errors either of disagreement or dissent.
The encyclical is written in a crisis atmosphere. For "it is no longer a matter of limited and occasional dissent, but of an overall and systematic calling into question of traditional moral doctrine, on the basis of certain anthropological and ethical presuppositions" (4).
The encyclical is addressed specifically to bishops. Everyone else is, in a sense, eavesdropping. Pope John Paul is trying to stir up his fellow bishops to action.
"Dear brothers in the episcopate," he cries, not without a note of pathos, "we must not be content merely to warn the faithful about the errors and dangers of certain ethical theories" (83).
So mere warnings about dangerous moral theologians are not enough. Bishops should adopt "appropriate measures to ensure that the faithful are guarded from every doctrine and theory contrary to it" (116).

The caption on the front of the postcard reads "White River Bridge - Shoals, Indiana". The post card (which I could not get the scanner to scan the back) is not a divided card, rather has "Postcard - Place Stamp - Correspondence - Address". The card is in near mint condition, was never wrote on, and is postally unused. The card's picture is very clear and looks good, which the digital image did not show it as such. The photo shows the three (3) steel overhead bridge span structures, pedestrian sidewalks that are complete with fencing to protect people from falling off the bridge, time period houses (which the photo looks as if it was taken from the Eastern side of the bridge facing West, and t are what appear to be storm clouds gathering.

You know the dude on the ride whose legs are shaved -- and particles of dead skin are flaking off as he spins out ahead of the group? Buy that man a tube of Hammer Pelle Eccellente Petroleum-Free Ultra-Hydrating Skin Cream immediately! Unless that dude is you, in which case here's the story so you understand why this isn't a tube of suntan lotion, nor is it a tub of Pond's Cold Cream.
Pelle Eccellente (Italian for 'excellent skin') contains olive oil and, importantly, jojoba oil. While olive oil is an emollient that softens skin, jojoba oil (derived from a cactus-like plant that grows in the desert southwest) has a chemical composition very close to that of our own skin oils, so it absorbs and assimilates rapidly and reduces the dry, flaky skin so common on riders who shave their legs. This is also why you'll see it used in dandruff shampoos. Other ingredients include both comfrey, which is soothing to dry skin and reduces irritation, and aloe, which helps heal small cuts. There's also beeswax and carnuba wax, both of which act as a sort of seal against further drying.
Also, because Pelle Eccellente is so rich in oils, a very small amount goes a long way. So although it seems expensive for such a small quantity, you'll be shocked at how little you need to take care of your dry, wind-chapped gams.
Hammer Pelle Eccellente Petroleum-Free Ultra-Hydrating Skin Cream offers critical skin protection. It contains a potent mixture of jojoba and olive oils, and skin soothing agents like comfrey and aloe, as well as beeswax and carnuba wax to prevent further drying. It comes in a 4oz jar.

I love this cream! I primarily use this cream to help with saddle sores :( After a nice cleansing shower, its nice to apply this magical potion to your chaps- especially if you have any saddle sores! It's very true a small amount will go a long way so start with a "dimes" worth and apply more as needed. I consider this "supplement" just as important as some consider protein after a tough workout. This cream helps you continue to ride day after day and I can't imagine training without it- it will not disappoint!

At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Ms. Laura Mountcastle, Vice President and Treasurer. Please go ahead.
Laura Mountcastle
Thank you. Good morning and thank you for joining us today. With me are John Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Tom Webb, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Our earnings press release issued earlier today and the presentation used in this webcast are available on our website. This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-Ks and 10-Qs. The forward-looking statements and information and risk factors sections discuss important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
This presentation also includes non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix and posted in the investor section of our website. Reported earnings could vary because of several factors, such as legacy issues associated with prior asset sales. Because of those uncertainties, the company isn't providing reported earnings guidance.
Now I'll turn the call over to John.
John Russell
Thanks, Laura and good morning everyone. I appreciate you joining us today for our second quarter earnings call. I'll begin the presentation with a few brief comments about the quarter before turning the call over to Tom for a more detailed discussion on the financial results and the outlook for the remainder of the year. Then we will close with Q&A.
Second quarter adjusted earnings per share was $0.26, the same as last year. The benefit from electric and gas rate relief was offset by higher rate base investment cost, storm restoration cost and accelerated investments in system reliability.
The first half adjusted earnings per share was $0.77, up $0.13 or 20% over last year, primarily reflecting a rate relief and favorable first quarter weather. Tom will review the details with you in a few minutes.
We remain on track to achieve our adjusted earnings per share guidance of a $1.44 a share. Let me give you an update on the Michigan Public Service Commission before I talk about our regulatory agenda.
Commissioner Monica Martinez's term officially ended July 2. However, she has agreed to remain a Commissioner for a while. The governor has been interviewing several candidates, but I can't comment on the timing of the appointment, it's his decision.
Moving to the Regulatory Agenda. There are several important orders and filings during the second quarter. In June, we filed a new electric rate case requesting a $195 million increase based on a 10.7% return on equity. I'll review the details of this filing on the next slide.
The Commission approved the reconciliation of our energy optimization plan cost for 2009 and approved a $6 million incentive for exceeding the plan targets. We also requested approval to collect an $8 million incentive for exceeding the 2010 targets.
More than 200,000 customers have participated in our energy efficiency programs. Also in June, the Commission approved our amended renewable energy plan authorizing us to reduce the surcharge by $54 million annually. This will provide headroom to minimize the customer rates going forward.
On the gas side of the business, the Commission approved a rate case settlement authorizing us to increase our natural gas rates by $31 million effective May 27th based on 10.5 return on equity.
We anticipate filing a new gas rate case in the third quarter of this year. In keeping with our plan, we filed a new electric rate case on June 10th. The request seeks to recover new investments in system reliability and environmental compliance.
We've lowered our O&M cost by $31 million to reflect employee benefit plan changes and increased productivity. This was partially offset by a proposed $13 million increase and forestry expense and a projected $14 million increase in uncollectable accounts due to the expected reduction in funding.
We also adjusted our sales forecast to reflect a higher level of sales to retail up and access customers. We plan to sales implement a rate increase in December with a final order in June of next year.
From our customer's perspective, the renewable energy surcharge reduction and the DoEs settlement refund which Tom will discuss in a few minutes are expected to provide over $75 million to help offset the impact of this case.
Let me give you an update on some recent operational highlights. We received a favorable vote on our special land use permit for our first wind park, the 100 megawatt Lake Winds energy park.
Construction of this $232 million project is planned for the start – this plant is start to this fall. By the end of 2012 about 8% of our power will come from renewable energy resources developed in Michigan.

Fix #1: Support strips
Begin by popping the bottom panel back into its grooves. Then add a clamp or two to hold it securely. Measure the distance from the back of the drawer front to the back of the drawer, and cut scrapwood strips to length and 2-3" wide -- one for each end and two or three in the middle, spaced no more than 6" apart, as shown at right. Thickness-plane them to fit flush with the drawer sides and front so they won't catch. Glue and fasten the strips to the bottom panel, along the sides, and to the front and back with brads or screws.

The Funniest One Yet,
This review is from: Cabin Fever (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 6) (Hardcover)
Reviewed by Darren (age 10):
I love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, and this book, Cabin Fever, I thought was the most funny. I don't want to spoil it, but there are very funny jokes in this book. Greg gets trapped in the house during a snow storm and is accused of a crime---which he sort of did. If I were to give this book a rating, 10 being the best, and 1 being the least best, I'd give it a 9.75.

My son most assuredly did! He's 10, and I don't let him have his own Amazon account, and he's cited under my title line. Apologies if there's confusion...the words are his, the review is his, facilitated by mom. He read it in 3 hours...didn't want to break for dinner! LOVED it...and he's read them all...this one, hands down, was his favorite.

If it helps, we purchased the book from a store here in town that coordinated an in-person Kinney meeting at our Science Museum a few days later. Our son (and MANY others) in Richmond, VA finished it that night.
(and truth told, we picked it up after school on the day it was released, the proprietor of the bookstore shared that she had already heard back from two local readers who'd FINISHED it before I even picked it up at 4pm!)
Personally, I like that Mr. Kinney keeps the Santa faith...bearing his broad, broad readership. (I STILL believe! :) )

Each reviewer has different tastes...my son, who along with the others you cite...has read them all multiple times now. Just asked him, he stands by his original assessment of 9.75. Maybe he's in the minority, but he loved it. :) Although he now says "Dog Days" is his VERY favorite as of today. (Which likely means more to you than me!)

All you people can think what you want but, i read this after i cheacked it out from the libray in like, what, 1 hour, and i loved it and kept it for like a MONTH reading my favorite parts over and over and over. It is a great book, expesialy if he belives in santa. KIDS SANTA IS REAL FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS! so i love this book, so if you hate it keep it to yourself and go review and comment bad stuff on books like twilight, not kids books. that is a low blow. low blow man ..... Just low.....
In reply to an earlier post on Jun 25, 2012 2:33:35 PM PDT
who's hating, i'm contributing my honest opinion, your hating on my honest opinion. people look at reviews to see customers honest opinions to determine the quality of the product they are considering to purchase. The reason I make fun of the part of the book where it states greg believes in santa is because(correct me if i'm wrong) throughout the book the series follow patterns of magnifying the behavior, traits and characteristics of the stereotypical middle schooled boy. I don't think believing in santa clause is a trait of the stereotypical middle schooled boy. Its not even a magnification.
Besides your not a true wimpy kid fan because you waited till the book came out in the libraries and any true wimpy kid fan could not wait that long!!!!!

you did a very nice job on the overall picture but what i really liked the most about it was the shading for her eyes and her hair because it adds to the 3D look of the picture and makes it look more like its real than just a picture. another thing I really liked about this picture is that it just looks so cool so i'd have to give it a 5 for originality 5 for vision 5 for technique and 5 for impact because it was just so awesome but overall it looks AWESOME .and one last thing......RAGE QUIT

Danny Ainge Completes Ice Bucket Challenge, Joins Twitter
Danny Ainge used his first-ever tweet to support a great cause.
The Boston Celtics' president of basketball operations joined the Twitter world Wednesday night and -- with a hand from a few of his young grandchildren -- completed the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness for ALS.
My ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with help of some of my Grandkids #RIPCoachSeaver http://t.co/JIXGwnQJbo— Danny Ainge (@danielrainge)
August 21, 2014
Before his dousing, Ainge chose to nominate Celtics co-owners Wyc Grousbeck and Stephen Pagliuca, Houston Rockets head coach -- and former Celtics teammate -- Kevin McHale and the 80,000 people currently serving a Mormon mission.
Ainge is the latest of long line of Celtics to complete the challenge, including Jeff Green, Kelly Olynyk, rookies Marcus Smart and James Young, and head coach Brad Stevens.
UPDATE (2:25 p.m.): Grousbeck accepted Ainge's challenge Thursday afternoon.

Men's Basketball to Host Five Youth Camps in June, July
The Princeton men's basketball program will host five summer camps in June and July that will feature Princeton coaches and players working with campers from first through 12th grade.
Two elite camps will run in June, with the June 7-8 session as a day camp and the June 26-27 as an overnight camp, both for those in grades nine through 12. The camp will closely resemble the experience that high-level college players go through daily in practice, including individual instruction, station work, and full-court game-play.
The team camp will run June 27-29 and is for junior varsity and varsity teams, giving high school coaches an opportunity to work with their teams in real game situations in a Division I facility. Teams will stay in on-campus dormitories, providing a chance to build chemistry and momentum. Each team is guaranteed five games.
The day development camp, running July 14-18, is for players in first through sixth grades and serves to teach the fundamentals of basketball with an emphasis on skill and teamwork. The week will feature stations, contests, competitions and league play.
The overnight development camp runs from July 23-26 and will serve players in fifth through 12th grade. Similar to the day camp, participants will get individual attention from a Princeton's coaches to put an emphasis on skill and teamwork. Stations, contests, competitions and both five-on-five and three-on-three league play will pack this exciting week. Overnight campers will get the full Princeton basketball experience, staying in one of the historic dormitories on campus and taking their meals in the same dining halls as Princeton student-athletes.
For more information on the camps, visit the PrincetonSportsCamps site here.

II. Federal Jurisdiction and Procedure: A. Equitable Remedies
Abortion Rights--Remedy for Unconstitutionality.--Since deciding Roe v. Wade, (1) the Supreme Court has sent mixed signals regarding the proper standard to apply in addressing facial challenges to abortion regulations. In several cases, the Court applied the standard set forth in United States v. Salerno, (2) which requires a plaintiff challenging the facial validity of a statute to "establish that no set of circumstances exists under which the [statute] would be valid." (3) In more recent cases, the Court has applied the standard set forth in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, (4) under which a statute is invalid if, "in a large fraction of the cases in which [that statute] is relevant, it will operate as a substantial obstacle to a woman's choice to undergo an abortion." (5) These mixed signals, in the words of Judge Easterbrook, have "put courts of appeals in a pickle" because they "cannot follow Salerno without departing from the approach taken in ... Casey; yet [they] cannot disregard Salerno without departing from the principle that only an express overruling relieves an inferior court of the duty to follow decisions on the books." (6) Unsurprisingly, a circuit split concerning the appropriate standard has developed. (7)
Last Term, in Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, (8) the Court had an opportunity to resolve this split and clarify the quantum of proof necessary to bring a facial challenge to an abortion regulation. (9) The Court, however, chose not to address that issue. Instead, the Court addressed only the question of remedy and held that facially invalidating an abortion regulation with at least one undisputed unconstitutional application "is not always necessary or justified." (10) Although this decision leaves open the important quantum-of-proof question--a "question that virtually cries out for [the Court's] review" (11)--it also suggests a promising new remedial emphasis in the Court's abortion jurisprudence. This new focus, which recognizes the federal judiciary's limited constitutional mandate and instructs the lower courts that facial invalidation is an exception rather than the norm, rightly takes the Court's abortion jurisprudence one step closer to ensuring that the federal judiciary respects the properly limited role of the courts in a democratic society. The separation-of-powers principles underlying Ayotte also indicate the importance--and perhaps the likelihood--of having federal courts apply the Salerno standard to facial challenges of abortion regulations. By once again invoking and applying Salerno in the abortion context, the Court can take another necessary step toward restoring, to the tripartite allocation of power, "the more modest role Article III envisions for federal courts." (12)
In 2003, the New Hampshire legislature enacted the Parental Notification Prior to Abortion Act. (13) The statute prohibits performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor until forty-eight hours after written notice is delivered to the minor's parent or guardian. (14) Although the statute contains a judicial bypass provision and an exception for the minor's life, it does not contain an exception for the minor's health. (15)
Before the statute took effect, three abortion clinic operators and a doctor who performs abortions filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. (16) Arguing that the statute was unconstitutional because it lacked a health exception, contained an inadequate life exception, and had an insufficient confidentiality provision, the plaintiffs sought an injunction and a declaration that the Act was unconstitutional on its face. (17) After identifying the circuit split regarding the appropriate standard for evaluating facial challenges to state abortion laws, the court concluded that "the Casey ... standard applies in the context of abortion legislation." (18) Applying that standard, the court held the Act invalid on its face because it did not "comply with the constitutional requirement that laws restricting a woman's access to abortion must provide a health exception. …

Global Radio has partnered with digital music platforms including Spotify to launch a single buying point for UK digital audio campaigns.
The Digital Audio Exchange, known as Dax, will allow brands to buy ad campaigns across more than 30 digital music platforms, including Blinkbox, Mixcloud and Absolute Radio, as well as Global's own stations.
Vodafone, Lexus, Costa, eBay, Virgin Media, Asda, Heinz, Philips, Gocompare.com, EE and 20th Century Fox have signed up as launch advertisers.
Dax was developed by Mike Gordon, Global's managing director of commercial; Stuart Mays, the director of commercial strategy; and Oliver Deane, the commercial digital director. It will be sold by Global's sales team.
The launch aims to emulate growth in the US, where the digital audio market is worth an estimated $1 billion, driven by streaming services such as Pandora.
Gordon said: "This is an incredibly exciting innovation as we are now enabling advertisers to tap into a huge audience they couldn't previously reach while creating a new revenue stream for digital audio publishers. We are very confident about its potential."

Howard sounds off on coach, team
|05.13.09 at 12:09 am ET
Dwight Howard was not in the mood for excuses following the Magic's Game 5 loss to the Celtics.
On head coach Stan Van Gundy running an inside-out offense:
'You've got a dominant player, let him be dominant.'
On team emphasizing inexperience in loss:
"We can't say we're inexperienced. We can't use excuses. Win or lose, it's not about experience. It's about effort. And in the last couple of games, when they're down, they pick up their intensity and they pick up their effort and it's not about being experienced. When you want something, you have to go and try to get it and collectively, even at the end of the game, those guys they wanted it more than we did. And that's when they can come back from big leads. As a team we have to stop hanging our heads and stop getting frustrated when things don't go our way offensively, defensively, whatever it is. Everybody on our team has fallen into that category when things aren't going our way, whether it's we get bad calls, we miss shots, whatever it is. We tend to get frustrated and if we want to win the series, we can't do that."
Game 5: Final Wrap
|05.12.09 at 10:37 pm ET
The Magic were supposed to win this game, right? The Celtics looked hopeless for the first three quarters of basketball. Down by as many as 14, they refused to go inside, settled for contested outside shots, and clanked the rim.
Then came Stephon Marbury.
Marbury scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to spark a run that eventually overcame a nagging Magic lead.
And as they have done so many times, the Magic imploded. The Celtics took a 3-2 series lead, 92-88, and head to Orlando for Game 6 on Thursday. Check back on Green Street for postgame reaction and analysis …
Game 5: Marbury comes alive
|05.12.09 at 10:06 pm ET
When Rajon Rondo went to the bench with his fourth foul midway through the third quarter, Stephon Marbury lasted just four minutes before he was yanked in favor of Eddie House.
Look who's back. Marbury checked back in at the 8:49 mark of the fourth quarter and proceeded to score 11 points in just under three minutes. The problem for the Celtics is the lineup they have on the floor–Marbury, Eddie House, Ray Allen, Brian Scalabrine and Glen Davis hasn't been able to keep Dwight Howard and Tony Battie from getting easy baskets on the other end.
With 5:55 left the Celtics trail 83-74 and Marbury will be going to the line for his 12th point.
Game 5: Third quarter update
|05.12.09 at 9:53 pm ET
After three, the Magic have a 67-59 lead. We've played 36 minutes and the Celtics have yet to get into any kind of a groove offensively outside of Paul Pierce, who has scored 17 points and looks like the captain of old. Fortunately for the Celtics, the Magic have not been able to pull alway despite holding Boston to just 36 percent shooting.
It's been a strange game to say the least. Rafer Alston is having his best game of the series by far with 16 points, five rebounds and five assists and Rashard Lewis has been able to score at will, and still Orlando can't get any distance between it and the Celtics.
Other notes: With 6:32 left, Rajon Rondo picked up his fourth foul on a drive to the basket when Marcin Gortat stepped in to take the charge. Stephon Marbury replaced him but after missing two shots (including a wide-open 3-pointer) Doc Rivers subbed in Eddie House. Pierce was the nominal point guard, but it was another missed opportunity for Marbury.
The Celtics were able to get untracked a little after Dwight Howard went to the bench with his third foul. Howard has scored only six points, but he has 16 rebounds and has been a hulking presence in the lane. He has essentially been operating as a floating zone. He's back out there to start the fourth.
Outside of Rondo, Rivers didn't go to his bench once in the third quarter. Brian Scalabrine is in for Glen Davis, but Pierce, Kendrick Perkins and Ray Allen have gone the distance. Allen is still struggling (2-for-9).
Game 5: First Half Update
|05.12.09 at 9:05 pm ET
There was a point in the game when nothing seemed to be falling for the Celtics. They shot just 6-for-22 in the first quarter and watched shot after shot bounce off the rim. But then Scal hit a three … and another one. The Celtics shot 45% in the second quarter and made a push to get back in the game. The problem is, though, the Magic are not relying on jumpers tonight like the Celtics. After outscoring the Cs 22-12 in the paint, the Magic have a 45-37 lead at halftime.
Rashard Lewis has the hot hand with 12 points while Dwight Howard has been a beast on the boards with 12 rebounds. Even Rafer Alston has nine points.
Paul Pierce leads the Celtics with 10 points. Ray Allen hit his first shot of the game with 3:30 left in the half to get himself on the board.
The Celtics simply have to attack the paint in the second half. Dwight Howard has not been called for a foul since 8:23 in the first quarter and is dominating the Cs in the post. Pierce has looked eager all night to take this game over. Let's see who gets it going for the Celtics …
Game 5: Energy shift
|05.12.09 at 8:47 pm ET
Credit the Celtics bench, particularly Eddie House and Brian Scalabrine with getting them back in the game. Trailing 33-23 and shooting just 29 percent from the floor, the Celtics closed within five after Scalabrine knocked down a 3-pointer and House came up with a steal on the wing and a layup.
It's been a struggle for Boston to get its shots off. The Magic are double and triple team everything that moves and the Celtics haven't been able to make jump shots. Coming out of the timeout the Celtics have a small lineup on the floor–Rajon Rondo, House, Ray Allen, Scalabrine and Davis.
Game 5: First quarter update
|05.12.09 at 8:31 pm ET
What can you say about a quarter in which the home team shoots 6-for-22 and the visiting team's All-Star center grabs nine rebounds and scores zero points? The operative word here is "bizarre."
The Celtics came out with a lot of energy and seemed a step ahead of Orlando, but after getting an early 8-4 lead, it's been all Magic. Orlando has been aggressively helping on any and every Celtics drive to the basket and that has let to a lot of kick-out jump shots. Make that a lot of kick-out jump shot misses.
Ray Allen's cold shooting has continued (0-for-4) and Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce are each 1-for-4. The Magic, meanwhile, have relied on Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu who scored 14 points and combined to go 7-for-9 from the floor.
The second unit is for the Celtics. Kendrick Perkins and Pierce are the only starters to start the second quarter with Brian Scalabrine, Stephon Marbury and Eddie House.

What a load of BS.
It has been my experience that Cisco is a polarizing influence within IT not synonymous with cooperation. During implementation the over use of Firewalls and VLANs separation plague projects similar to locking the doors on a house while its still under construction. Security is always the justification, however these technologies are a decade or more old and there is a reluctance to trust and embrace the most recently developed high level security technologies.

I think I saw it in "Stoners" space, a bit "southeast" from Empire if one can say sth like that in space ;)
A latest addition to the Starpoint Gemini 2 game world in the form of a station.

Is Africa the Dark Continent when it comes to the advertising industry? On the contrary, says Alan Edgar, Regional Creative Director, Ogilvy Africa and one of regional judges for African and Middle Eastern categories at this year's Loeries.

It would be good to automagically install the necessary gstreamer plugins when

For reference, here's how totem does it:

This should be fixed in all packages now.

New 29 gallon setup
I'm thinking about setting up a 29g planted tank. I'd likely plant it with Cabomba, maybe some hornwort (I could make a living off of the hornwort I grow in just one ten gallon tank), and some Java Lance Fern. I would be decorating with storebought driftwood and homemade rock formations (I've had a lot of success using local rocks in other tanks).
Any comments on the following mix of fish?
-2 Kribensis moved from their current 20 to have more space
-3 small loaches (I was thinking Zebras or Kuhlis)
-1 or 2 Spotted African Leaf Fish (I think they're Ctenopoma acutirostre)
-1 small pleco (a clown would look good)
-3 or so cherry barbs
-either ~5 purple passion danios or ~5 silver hatchets
I could leave out the barbs if they'd be terrorized by the Kribs or Leaf Fish, and would go with the danios instead of the hatchets if people think that they, too, would be better off without more active tankmates.
Also, possibly instead of the barbs, I was wondering if I could keep 1 male and two female livebearers in order to produce fry. I'm sure the Leaf Fish (and probably the Kribs) would appreciate, plus I've never kept livebearers of any kind.
I love those 29g tanks!!!!!! They are the best for a beginner to learn the hobby. One may keep a fair amount of fish in them. Maintainence is a little more forgiving. And you can actually create something absolutely gorgeous. And they are modestly priced.
Stocking your tank, here are a couple of suggestions. Loaches and Kribs occupy the same strata. Need to nix one. Cherry barbs may harrass the leaf fish. Leaf fish cannot swim real fast. Just quick lunges for food.
I have one 29g that has a breeding pair of festivums, (4)keyhole cichlids, (6)corydorus schwartzii, a 3" sun cat(that I seldom see), and a very small severum that somehow hitchhiked in(I have no idea how it got in that tank). It is planted with a mother sword, Indian fern(floating), elodea(floating), najas guadalupensis, an Apondogen ulvaceous(too big for the tank actually), and an anubius barterii.
Boy, do I like those 29g's!!!!
Kribs and loaches won't mix? My kribs currently live with a trio of peppered cories and all hang out on the bottom with no problems. My kribs also generally leave my dwarf gouramis alone, although the male sometimes thinks it's funny to sneak up on one and give the end of ones tail a little nip. He hasn't ever done any damage, though. Oh, sometimes the male chases my zebra danios, but they're much too quick for him so he gives up after a second. He completely ignores those cories, though. If I had to guess, I'd say the danios look interesting because they're somewhat similar looking to the kribs, and the gourami tails look an awful lot like flake food.
I've wanted the loaches for a long time now, so I'll probably get them anyway. If they get terrorized by the kribs for some reason, I can always move the kribs back to their current home.

Dreamworks' animated hit Madagascar concerned a group of Central Park Zoo denizens who, en route to Africa, find themselves stranded on the island of the film's title, and ended with the citified animals forcibly, though not unhappily, taking residence in their newfound environs. Not having seen Madagascar since its 2005 release, I'll admit that I had to look up this last bit of information before catching Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. And if and when there's a Madagascar 3, I'll no doubt have to look up the details on its predecessor, because a mere two days after attending this sequel, I've already forgotten nearly everything about it.

We had to buy a new car recently and wanted a c-segment 4-door hatchback. We needed a car whose hatch was tall enough that we could fit my Tikit, or our ginormous twin stroller, while the hatch was *covered* so people don't peek in while it's parked on the street and decide to get sticky fingers.
Hatches which do not fit the bike (nor the stroller): Ford C-Max, Toyota Prius, Prius V, or Prius C, Honda Fit, Mini Cooper Clubman, Volvo C30, Ford Focus.
C-segment 4-door hatches we didn't try, for various reasons: Lexus CT Hybrid, Nissan Leaf, Subaru Impreza.
Hatches which fit the bike (and stroller). Obviously not at the same time. Toyota Matrix (but it's been discontinued), Chevy Volt (easily fits but I couldn't test with the cover), and the big winner: 2014 Mazda 3. Which we bought.

Another View: Better newspapers coming your way
By: Jenifer Gee, editor
Another View
It wasn't an easy decision to cut a day of the week from a community newspaper. After hearing the reasons for and what it could save, I acknowledged that this is the right move for our newspaper. In talking to a colleague, we both realized the reality of the Auburn Journal cutting from six days to five, but agreed it almost feels sacrilegious in the world of journalism to admit just as much. I've loved the world of writing since middle school when I took a small extra credit writing assignment and created a magazine. In high school, I was editor of the school newspaper while also working at my hometown newspaper, the Severna Park Voice, that published once a month. In college, one of the best summers I had was spent interning at the Maryland Gazette, a twice-weekly publication where, because they were small staffed, I was treated like a full-time reporter. When it came time to graduate, my parents were a little wary about me taking a job where, with a college degree, I wouldn't make more than a manager at a fast-food restaurant. But I found myself searching constantly for journalism jobs, and reasoned I just need to get reporting out of my system. It's been six years since then and I've yet to get my fill. And on a side note, my parents are proud of my decision. So every time I hear of a decline or cut in the media world – especially newspapers - I want so badly to fight against it. In the case of the Journal, the reasons for our move to cut Monday makes fiscal sense because we can save local jobs, and it makes sense for the resources we currently have. In addition to that, our local economy is doing its best to recover and, at this time, doesn't support a Monday edition, understandably so. When I started at the Journal four years ago, there were enough reporters that we rotated weekend shifts. The Sunday and Monday papers had guaranteed fresh, local reporting. But things quickly changed. Now with two full-time reporters, it doesn't make sense to lose one to a weekend day when they can be more productive with return phone calls, attending meetings, events and more during the Monday through Friday work week. Therefore, our Sunday publication has remained strong with our best stories but our Monday paper soon became our weakest editorial package where it felt routinely like we were finding just enough to fill it. I don't like to do my work that way. I now have the staff member who worked on Sunday to paginate Monday's newspaper in the newsroom an extra day during the work week. That translates to an additional reporter writing local stories, which will help improve our news coverage. The rest of the newsroom is still here, Monday through Friday, and our focus on local news will not change. In addition to a renewed commitment to cover hard news and features, we're adding new content into our line up. After an online survey, listening to readers over time, and hearing what attendees had to say at our Meet the Journal coffee, we settled on a few new content pages to launch. Starting in May, on Wednesdays, we'll feature Auburn history. This will include historic photos graciously provided by Placer County Museums, an occasional then and now column from longtime Auburn resident Al Albertazzi, and a look back at "this day in history." On Fridays, we'll rotate among features relating to pets, what to do in the outdoors and day trips you can take from Auburn. Online we've launched a new video series called Auburn Journal Newsmakers. Our City/Multimedia Editor Andrew DiLuccia takes a few minutes each week with someone in the news or related to a story in the news and asks five questions. We publish part of the interview in print Sunday and the rest is online. Whispers of a Web redesign are becoming more of a reality and we'll soon offer a better way for you to find our great content online, hopefully by the end of the summer. On Mondays, log on to auburnjournal.com. We still have a plan to upload fresh content that day as any other. Our Noon Hour Update, which is posted Monday through Friday, will continue. We'll update you on anything you might have missed in the news cycle. One of my favorite things to hear or overhear is someone telling someone else "I saw you in the paper." I still have people call to ask for copies of the newspaper when their family member is printed in it. I've had a letter writer come into the office every time their letter is printed because they want a hard copy. I do not have a crystal ball to look into the future and see what will happen in this industry. What I do have is a passion and interest in it, and love that on a small scale we can directly help inform Auburn Journal readers about news they won't find anywhere else. On top of that the Auburn Journal, its employees and owners are definitely in it for the long haul. This September we turn 140 years old and we plan on celebrating many birthdays to come. We value the support we've received from the community and hope to show that appreciation to you everyday through our commentary, photos, letters to the editor, features, cartoons, local sports articles and news stories. I appreciate the dedication of our readers and encourage them to offer us feedback often. Thank you.

Since 1998, the silent movie series at the Paramount have basically been synonymous with their organist and host: Dennis James. One means the other. Or did, until an abrupt press release from the Paramount's nonprofit owner, Seattle Theatre Group, announced a replacement musician. The news came at four o'clock Friday, before last Monday's show, where James then staged an outdoor protest in his tux--as if ready to play. (One more Monday night performance remains in the series: the 1927 Seventh Heaven, also to be accompanied by San Francisco-based Jim Riggs, on June 29.)
Speaking from South Dakota, while driving from a concert date back home to the Northwest, James says, "I invented the program. Never have I been told I'm too expensive. I have never been given a raise in 11 years." He claims he actually lowered his rates in 1998 to begin a relationship with STG that began harmoniously, then recently soured.In James' past Paramount performances, and in the 70-100 others he says he does annually, he typically chooses the movie, studies period scores, delivers a spoken introduction to the audience, then play "authentic music [using] ... the tools of an organist of the day. Not bringing in modern music or rock music."
He's a stickler, in other words, and proud of what he's accomplished with silent movie accompaniment over the past three decades--"a model for the entire world," says James. "I do this worldwide. I do this with full symphony orchestras."
But at a January meeting with STG, James continues, "The whole thing broke down. It seems there's a staff attempt to force me out of the Paramount."
STG's executive director, Josh LaBelle sees things quite differently. Though declining to discuss contracts or personnel matters, and while heaping praise on James as a musician, he says the Paramount's silent movie/live organ series "was the theater's initiative" back in '98. With a "very much underutilized organ" in the house, his mission (being programmer at the time) was "to find different and unique and low-cost programming."
James was "absolutely the first guy I went to," says LaBelle. But James, like any band hired for a gig at the Tractor, is an independent contractor with no right or expectation of future employment. This month's Silent Movie Mondays series was announced in May with the event sponsor, Trader Joe's, getting top billing. James is mentioned below with a respectful bio. Then there's a mention that for the Paramount's Wurlitzer Organ, "Over $100,000 is needed for specialized parts, materials and professional services required to complete its restoration."
LaBelle explains that much of the maintenance for the organ is done by volunteers from the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society. "It would be a larger budget-line item were it not for the PSTOS," says LaBelle. He adds that ticket sales are "healthy" for the series, meaning 400-600 (at $12 per ticket) in a house that seats
1,400 (correction: 2,800). Which can be filled to capacity for, say, David Byrne or the touring production of Rent. LaBelle says that STG is financially stable, despite the recession: "We're only about two percent off our goal" for annual ticket sales. (STG also operates the Moore and books theaters in Portland.)
However, James claims that STG plans to experiment with newer, younger, and likely cheaper rock bands to accompany future silent movies. Meanwhile, though he won't rule out a return to the Paramount (on his terms), he's free to explore his options with the 5th Avenue Theater or Benaroya Hall. For the past 11 years, he charges, the Paramount "asserted a monopoly" on his local services. (Again, STG won't discuss its booking practices.)
James will next perform locally at Bainbridge Island's Lynnwood Theatre (with King Vidor's 1928 The Crowd, 1:30 and 7 p.m. Sun., July 5). And he expects to continue his national touring performances. Which, he says, have been adversely affected by the Paramount's disruption of his schedule. "They are then financially responsible," says James. "I do have plans for a lawsuit."
Monday Update: By phone message, James adds that, "The issue is not whether they can fire me. Of course they can." And he reiterates his desire for "compensation" for the disruption he alleges was caused in his future performance schedule.
