New faces of New Orleans
As newcomers take their places four years after Katrina, will a faith-filled future bury a stagnant past?
"New faces of New Orleans" Continued...
NEW ORLEANS-One of America's finest writers, New Orleans native Michael Lewis, stated in 2005 that his birthplace had long ago crossed the "fine line between stability and stagnation. . . . No one of importance ever seemed to move in, just as no one of importance ever moved away."
Four years later-four years since the worst natural disaster ever to hit a U.S. city-lots of people with a pioneering spirit are moving in and coming alongside long-term residents. Together, new and old are trying to speed up the pace of enterprise without losing the conviviality that has long turned 365 acres of swampland into the place-second only to New York-that Americans love to visit.
The experience of Guy Williams, president and CEO of Gulf Coast Bank, and a leader in New Orleans' First Baptist Church, embodies both timelessness and forward thrust. He was 16 when Hurricane Betsy flattened the city in 1965: "My dad and I got in our boat. We went out and rescued people. Ever since then I was mentally expecting to do that someday."
Williams had 40 years to prepare-and when Katrina hit at the end of August, 2005, he went out with his son, then 22, in a pirogue, a light, flat-bottomed Cajun canoe. For four days from dawn to dusk they found people who needed rescuing and gave their locations to volunteers with bigger boats who then picked up the stranded. But when he encountered an elderly "Mrs. Liberty, jaundiced as she could be, with pancreatic cancer, and really afraid-she told us, 'I'm dying, but I don't want to die alone in this flood'"-he had to find a way to take her immediately.
The pirogue was small and unstable, but Mrs. Liberty told Williams that she had a canoe behind the house. "I looked at it. It's full of water, hundreds of pounds. Couldn't budge it. . . . I stood on an air compressor unit and prayed, 'Lord, you've got to help me.' Somehow, I was able to lift it-and I'm not that strong. . . . Divine intervention? Miracle? You tell me." So they transported Mrs. Liberty in her canoe to safety. She clutched a silver urn filled with . . . not her husband's ashes, but frozen strawberries.
Happy story? Not necessarily. The next day federal officials bizarrely asserted their control by ordering all the volunteer rescuers to leave. Williams does not know what happened to one young man who pleaded for help while he was saving Mrs. Liberty, who died soon afterwards: "It haunts me. I specifically turned him down to take her. I don't know how many I should have saved and didn't save."
Melancholy as he said that, Williams brightened as we drove around the city and saw some of his bank's 14 branches. Four of the nine branches existing in 2005 were flooded then, but Williams quickly reopened them in some form, with tellers in trailers without electricity issuing handwritten transaction receipts and relying on cell phones to call customers. Gulf Coast was quick to make rebuilding loans.
Some big enterprises have not bounced back. The downtown Hyatt is still closed, and we drove past a deserted Six Flags with a forlorn roller coaster: The water rose to 12 feet there. But small businesses are sprouting, and last year Gulf Coast received official recognition as the top Small Business Administration lender in Louisiana, which now has one of the lowest foreclosure rates in the country.
We passed a bar that never closed during Katrina (water going up to mid-calf of people sitting on bar stools) and, with a standing offer of 25-cent beers for National Guard members, received a supply of Guard-obtained fresh ice every morning. An extension of such entrepreneurial problem-solving led the magazine Fast Company to name formerly stagnant New Orleans one of the "12 fast cities of 2009"-and the city's population, which had declined from about 455,000 in July, 2005, to about 223,000 a year later, is now above 300,000 once again.
Last month I interviewed a cross-section of the thousands of people who have moved to New Orleans since Katrina with the goal of making it a community of constructive change. For example, J.B. Watkins, 29, lived all over America as the son of a soldier, but he moved to New Orleans two years ago with the goal of preaching Christ as the alternative to lives of misery and crime. Watkins, now pastor of St. Roch Community Church in the impoverished 8th ward, recalls that "most people were very discouraged. Lots of promises had been made at the federal, state, and local levels."
He showed me around the brightly painted yellow and green building that serves as sanctuary and also the site for an after-school and summer camp program: "People were looking for hope. They had learned not to put their faith in federal agencies. . . . They're realizing that they should hope in the gospel. Some are also starting to think not so much 'I need help' but 'I can help.'"
The summer camp 8- and 9-year-olds were yelling out times table answers; "Three times four is 12. . . . Three times six is 18." Watkins explained that the building, a corner grocery store, had 4-5 feet of water in it after Katrina hit: The church was able to purchase it at a low price, clean and repair it with largely volunteer labor, and hold its first morning service last November. The church now has a community garden, a potluck dinner every Sunday, and a financial advisory service that filled out tax forms for close to 200 people earlier this year and helped them open bank accounts.
The big park right across the street from St. Roch's was a FEMA trailer park and home to hundreds of people a little over a year ago. Now the park is clear, and it remains both blessing and curse. The church uses it for a monthly block party and looks for opportunities to celebrate: "When a child gets a good grade, we have a party." One celebration came at the end of summer camp on July 24, with kids able to put on their bathing suits and cool off. But the park also is the home for drug deals and occasional shootings. Watkins says, "People are forced to pray here: 'Lord, keep me safe.' I'm forced to internalize my message."
We drove around the flooded-out 8th and 9th wards, past numerous boarded-up houses-but then comes a neat house with cerulean blue paint, mint green trim, and brown shutters. We passed lots of overgrown lots, but then a house with lime green paint, yellow trim, and two pink crepe myrtles in front. "A lot of darkness here," Watkins sighed, "but also a great deal of good. Lots of spiritualism and voodoo, but also family-oriented people who look after each other."
One St. Roch churchgoer, Willie Trotter, is becoming officially family-oriented. He has lived with a lady for 13 years, and together they have an 8-year-old daughter: Now they plan to marry in October. "I love her, don't want to commit sin," Trotter explained. "J.B. [Watkins] talked to me, talked to her, now we see what's right. Everyone in the congregation supports this: We're all family."
Another of Watkins' disciples, Troy Glover, 19, taught in St. Roch's summer camp during June and July. He took a timeout from teaching the 8- and 9-year-olds to explain that when he was a year old his dad was killed; his mom has been hurt by drugs. Trapped in a house when Katrina hit, he floated out on a door and survived days at the Superdome-"crowded, bathrooms a mess, but not that bad."
Bused to Texas, he went to five different schools in Houston before heading home to New Orleans, where he started "doing things in the street that weren't right." But a change began through contact with St. Roch members: "People here in the church, they didn't force me. We'd play ball and talk about Jesus. We'd have parties in the park and talk about Jesus. Church became my outside family. Every court date, anytime, someone from the church helped me. Bonded me out of jail, came to my house, prayed for us."
Glover graduated from high school in June and will head to college next month. But he still hopes to influence his New Orleans friends through the same gradual method that worked with him: "I say to them, 'Come to church, come to Bible study,' not forcing them, just asking them, 'How long you gonna keep doing what you're doing?'"
Watkins was an inner-city pastor in Memphis before taking on St. Roch, so he had intimate knowledge of urban problems-but another pastor who moved to New Orleans after Katrina, Ray Cannata, 40, came straight from 14 years at a suburban New Jersey church that he served as intern, associate pastor, and then senior pastor for the last seven years.
He was "tired of church potlucks, terrible food, everyone wanting to get away to drive 45 minutes to get home and work on the lawn." He agreed to make the move during the months following Katrina, which he says made the prospect of transition "more attractive, not less," because both the challenge and the need seemed greater: "There were no other evangelical churches uptown, and I figured that if I didn't come nobody else would."
We drove past neighborhoods like Broadmoor with still visible waterlines on houses. The whitewashed walls of above-ground cemeteries often did not hold back the torrents, and it's obvious where the water settled on streets like the aptly named Flood and Rampart. "People said we needed an Oprah-style church," Cannata recalled: "They said these hurting people need a hug. That's wrong: They need a mission, a sense of purpose to get them out of morbid introspection."
Many newly painted houses have extraordinary colors: sky blue with tangerine pillars, emerald green with intense gold pillars and brown shutters. Cannata loves the "beauty, celebration, creativity, grace" he sees around him, and he thinks that New Orleans has gotten a lascivious reputation largely through the antics of French Quarter tourists and those who cater to them: "Bourbon St. at 2 a.m. or these reports of Mardi Gras nudity . . . I've gone to 30 or 35 of the 40 parades and have never seen nudity. . . . Sure, you can find debauchery, substance abuse, laziness. . . . You also find great hospitality, generosity, and interest. At parties here I can say I'm a pastor and it doesn't cut off conversation."
Cannata says his children-a 10-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl-are enjoying New Orleans, but crime occurrences concern him: "My son in his playground, uptown, witnessed a machine gun battle." As we drove in a minute from the fashionable Garden District to desolate and dangerous streets, and saw churches close to strip clubs, Cannata said, "New Orleans is the best picture of heaven I know of in America, and also the best picture of hell, but overall it's given us a purpose. . . . People here know they're not safe. . . . God is near to the broken-hearted, and there's lots of heartbreak here."
Others have also moved into uptown New Orleans to be close to heartbreak. For example, the city's Hispanic population is growing rapidly due to an abundance of construction work, and Stewart Hill, a pediatric resident at Children's Hospital, hopes to serve these new-comers. Over po'boys at Parasol's-bread soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside-he told how he took a year off from medical school to live in Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia, where he farmed, taught, and helped in a clinic. The Spanish he learned equips him to serve Hispanic kids who come in with asthma that is readily treatable if caught early: Without treatment it often becomes severe and leads to trips to hospital emergency rooms.
Michael Lewis ended his post-Katrina article this way: "The levees were breached, but something else cracked, too, inside the people behind them. The old facade; the pretense that New Orleans was either the Big Easy or it was nothing; that no great change was ever possible. . . . For the first time in my life, outsiders are pouring into the city to do something other than drink. For the first time in my life, the city is alive with possibilities. . . . Whatever else New Orleans is right now, it isn't stagnant."
Some non-stagnant traditions remain alive. New Orleans is known for its music, and at midnight one summer evening Glen David Andrews, a 27-year-old who merges old and new with powerful vocals and soulful trombone playing, was playing at d.b.a., a hot bar in the Marigny district. People hoisted Abitas and Dixies as the band riffed to the fugitive slave song with 2005 overtones, "Wade in the water./ Wade in the water children./ Wade in the water,/ God's gonna trouble the water."
New Orleans is also known for food. Pastor Cannata often meets members and seekers in restaurants: In 3 1/2 years he has eaten at 288 of New Orleans' 1,008 (his count) restaurants and hopes to hit them all. Doug Harmon, a professor and the director of graduate admissions for the school of architecture at Tulane University, says New Orleans residents are "always thinking about the next meal-at lunch you'll talk about what you're having for dinner."
I met Harmon, 39, and his wife Toy, 33, at Lüke, a restaurant owned by John Besh, who one year after Katrina received the James Beard Foundation Award as the "Best Chef in the Southeast." Even though he was teaching at Tulane before Katrina, Texas A&M graduate Harmon recalls that he didn't partake much of New Orleans: "I was continually surrounded by an upper-middle-class, largely white population. There were whole sections of the city I didn't know existed. Katrina pulled the lid off for a lot of people, not only nationally but locally."
Lüke has an open kitchen eminently watchable from the tables, and it was fun to see the open flames as chefs in their white habits prepared Besh signature dishes. (Among those listed: "Sugar and Spice Duckling with Foie Gras and Quince" and "Hand-made Potato Gnocchi tossed with Blue Crab and Black Truffle.") Toy Harmon, 33, grew up in tiny Mentone, Ala., and recalls the reaction of some folks to the news that she was marrying Doug two years ago and moving to New Orleans: "They thought I was coming to Sodom and Gomorrah."
Doug Harmon said that Katrina changed Tulane: "There wasn't a lot of civic engagement, but now the people drawn to Tulane are drawn to service. Students wanted to get involved, plugged in locally. People are moving here who would never have moved here before. They see the value of the city. They want to be involved in something meaningful."
Doug Harmon presented a big picture: "New Orleans used to attract people who had nowhere else to go. Now, it attracts people who want to do something historically significant." Toy Harmon, pregnant with an Oct. 9 due date, said, "I love the thought of our kids growing up in a town with a distinct culture.
She paused and said with a hint of surprise, "Our kids are going to be from New Orleans."

Shambria Washington raising eyebrows early at TC
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 11:09 a.m.
On the basketball court, Trinity Catholic point guard Shambria Washington is many things. She's fast, she's strong, she's explosive, she has a rock-solid handle, a nose for the basket and a sweet stroke from the perimeter.
Shambria Washington: The Trinity Catholic sophomore emerged into a truly unstoppable backcourt force, averaging 17 points, 5.7 assists and 4.2 steals as the Celtics reached the regional finals for the second straight season. Washington added a deadly 3-point jump shot to her already dominant repertoire of ball skills, making her an extremely difficult player to defend. She already has the eye of several major-conference college programs and could become Marion County's most high-profile recruit in many years.
For first, second and third teams and honorable mention, see below.
All those talents aside, there's one thing about Washington that's probably most frightening to Celtic opponents — she's just a sophomore.
"She's going to be phenomenal by her senior year," Trinity head coach Melissa Mosby said. "She still has plenty of room for growth, and that's a good thing."
Washington, the Star-Banner's girls basketball player of the year, averaged 17 points, 5.7 assists and 4.2 steals in her second season as a varsity starting point guard. Though she had already displayed a dominant floor game as a freshman, Washington went to work on her outside shot and went on to hit 49 total 3-pointers as a sophomore.
"I worked hard during the offseason, in summer ball," Washington said. "I just trained very hard. During the season some nights I would catch myself in the gym with my coach just putting shots up."
Her outside shooting prowess made her that much tougher to defend. She was already quick enough off the dribble to routinely leave defenders in the dust. Now those defenders are forced to play up a step closer to guard against a quick jumper — which makes Washington's quickness even more of a weapon.
"I have to have the mind set that no one can stop me," she said. "If I go into the game thinking someone can stop me, that's just not a good way to look at it."
■ ■ ■
Washington also has an elite travel ball regimen to lean on. She plays throughout the year with the Orlando-based Central Florida Elite, a nationally prominent program that annually churns out major Div. I prospects like Ronni Williams (Florida), Brooksie McGraw (Alabama) and Sydnei McCaskill (Georgia).
Washington hopes to become that level of a prospect over her final two seasons at Trinity, and she's already in contact with major college programs from power conferences like the SEC and Big Ten.
"I don't really like to think about it too much, but I think about it more as time winds down," Washington said. "Last year it really didn't mean that much to me, but this year it means a lot. This summer is very important for me. To talk to coaches, to get mail in my mailbox, it's very exciting and it's humbling."
With Washington steering the offense, Trinity made its first two appearances in the regional finals over the past two seasons. Both playoff runs ended with lopsided defeats, but Washington is hoping the Celtics will find their footing among some of the top Class 4A programs in the state and make it even further by the time she's done.
"We wanted more," she said. "People were expecting (us to be) better and I know myself, I expected better. I want to win a state championship. I want to leave Trinity Catholic with a state championship."
For that to happen, Washington will need to help find a way to compensate for graduating senior starters Amber Ferguson and Shannon Fanelli, who combined to average 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Celtics. No other returning Trinity player but Washington averaged more then seven points per game.
"I'm going to try and help myself and my teammates get better by working hard in the offseason and just picking up the slack," she said, "just being a leader and motivating all of us to get better."
■ ■ ■
Washington is the second member of her family to win a Star-Banner player of the year honor. Her oldest brother, Lorenzo, was honored in football in 2011 and is now playing at Valdosta State. Her older brother D'Andre is also a multi-sport athlete at Trinity — which led to some heated competition around the family home when Shambria was growing up.
"I had to compete with them all my life," Washington said. "They wouldn't give me anything. They wouldn't ever let me shoot a wide open layup. They did whatever they had to do to get me better."

I recently copied some sent items to a local folder and I have the same problem there. I can't see who the messages were sent to. The behavior of the standard Sent folder appears to be correct but I can't create a folder named Sent in my local folders because it claims it as a reserved name.
I would like to have flexibility to see From: and To: in any folder.

You can turn this on yourself by editing the PARAM.SFO with an SFO editor and ticking the 720p/1080p box. But at the moment there's still no scaling and before I got the sound sorted out, the performance was kinda so-so. I wonder whether the sound fix will have any beneficial impact on performance now - in terms of stuttering.
If 720p or 1080p resolutions proves to be too slow with libGCM (in the way that it's currently implemented - I'm guessing there is still no proper understanding of libGCM in the community on the level of professional PS3 programmers), may I suggest looking at the PS3 SDK samples and trying the 'Upscaleto1080p' method?
Upscaling from 480p to 1080p and then applying a filter would be good enough - we're dealing with 256x224 / 256x239 resolution-type games here anyway (512x448 on certain games for menu screens like Seiken Densetsu 2/Secret of Mana | Seiken Densetsu 3)

It's a really cute design but wore it to a convention and the straps kept sliding left or right making the backpack tilt at a diagonal so I ended up tying a knot to keep it from slipping. There is a magnetic closure for the top of the bag but not the outside flap that folds over. The flap has the conventional snap ons which doesn't make sense to me. It made me hate taking things out of the backpack because of having to snap down both sides. That said, it's a very cute design and I love tokidoki in general so I still will use it. It's a good quality bag.
Great bag
I love this bag, it's very roomy and the characters are so cute. This bag is very well made. :D
Love this bag!
I love this bag, I have used it a lot since I got it. But no matter how careful you are with it, please keep in mind that it can't hold too much weight, so if you carry a lot of heavy stuff in your purse, the strap's stitching will come loose.
Too cute!
It's much bigger than I thought it would be. I thought it would be the size of those small backpacks, but it when I got it its regular sized. I love it!
I would have gave the bag five stars but when it arrived there were a few pulled stiches, I have the same issue with the wallet that matches. The pictures do not do the bag justice as it is so much larger than it appears. I love the two snaps on the front to reinforce the closure of the bag. I also love the two snaps on the sides that allows you to expand the bag, it makes larger items fit easier.
true love
this backpack rules. I was pleasantly surprised by how big it was! I can totally fit my laptop and everything. wahoo!
This bag is actually a great size. I turned it into a diaper bag cuz it has so much room in side! It's so cute too! And the fact that it's a backpack really sold me because it's so much easier to get around.
I really love this bag so much, at first i didn't like the handles but seeing how easy it is for transport i truly love them, the pattern is so great and fun to look at and was really satisfied that my favorite HK character Handyodon was in the middle on the flap since each patters varies it just feels perfect for me even though I'm a boy, great bag if you thinking about buying one treat your self to this bag its amazing and fun to look at I'm meat just look at it. LOVETKDK
This is the best bag I have ever owned! I am so glad I received it. The price is a lot better then the previous collection, and this one is totally cuter! So much space inside of it, also the PU leather is super soft. Just scared to take it anywhere so it won't get dirty! The charms are so sweet! The bag itself is such a good product! I was so happy when I opened this that I screamed it is one of my top 5 fave Sanrio/hello kitty/Tokidoki items! Thanks Sanrio and Tokidoki!!
Everything I expected and delivery was super fast

Nepal: Reintegration challenges for displaced women, girls

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Nepal: Reintegration challenges for displaced women, girls, 26 August 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4e60ab8a2.html [accessed 1 June 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Nepal's efforts to help conflict-affected women and girls gain a stronger footing in society may not be enough for the widows, rape victims and former Maoist combatants now tainted by social stigma, activists say.
"Because women have held guns and left their homes, because they were sexually assaulted, people won't accept them so easily back into their communities," said Susan Risal, director of Nagarik Awaz for Peace, a local NGO working for sustainable peace.
"It's not so easy to just reintegrate We expect that the widows and victims of sexual violence will get shunned from their communities," she added.
About 100,000 people remain displaced in Nepal following a 2006 ceasefire and peace accord with communist Maoist fighters. Many observers believe women were disproportionately affected by the decade-long conflict and its aftermath: Sexual violence was prevalent during rebel attacks, war widows were subjected to violence and discrimination, and national insecurity led to an increase in trafficked women.
Efforts to address the problem are now drawing foundational support from two UN Security Council resolutions - 1325 and 1820 - acknowledging the vulnerabilities of women and girls in post-conflict societies and their right to representation, and the adoption of a National Action Plan, the first of its kind in Asia, in February 2011 (10 years after 1325 was passed, and three years after 1820 was approved).
Many are hopeful the five-pillar plan, if executed and funded sufficiently, could deliver prompt and free legal services, more residential homes, social services and access to relief and recovery packages for women and girls. But local peace and reconstruction campaigners predict obstacles due to a lack of support and ongoing discrimination.
"It's a big challenge of how to implement this plan and where to go from here," said Tulasa Amatya, founder of Community Action Nepal, a Kathmandu-based NGO which supports conflict-affected women.
"You go to local districts and you see Maoists working there, and you don't feel peace and security. The dialogue in Nepal is all about politics and who will take the lead, and not about the women and the kids affected by it all."
Displaced women who are not widows, sexual violence victims or former combatants also doubt their potential to resume their pre-conflict lives.
Forced to flee
Tara Bhatta was forced to flee to Kathmandu from her village of Baitadi in the far west in 2002 after Maoist demands became intolerable. Her father-in-law was in the army and Maoist fighters frequently made threats and demanded arms, food and a place to stay. Bhatta, 28, says they were also physically violent.
The violence intensified when she refused to join the Maoists. Female fighters made up 30-40 percent of the Maoists, some recruited willingly, others by force, according to the UN Women office in Nepal.
About 19,000 of these former female fighters are demobilized in cantonment camps. They are screened, based in part on the number of children they have in order to identify those without significant family obligations, as they await possible reintegration into the national army, Risal said after a recent visit to camp.
While Bhatta finds life in Kathmandu expensive and challenging, she says she doubts she will be able to reclaim her house in the west with her husband and two young sons. She has heard little about the Action Plan and did not seem certain about how much support it could provide.
"Of course if there is a chance, we will happily return. It is very hard to survive here. But I'm very skeptical we could do that," said Bhatta.
Several years ago her husband was barred from the house by Maoists still occupying the surrounding land, even after the ceasefire.
Compensation package
She has not received a one-off government financial compensation package for conflict-affected people, which amounts to around US$350 depending on the person's circumstances. Many others like Bhatta had not received any aid yet, said Sangeeta Thapa, UN Women's programme coordinator in Nepal.
"Women don't have the proper information or the means to go to Kathmandu," Thapa said of why few people have accessed the compensation packages. "It's a politically biased process."
An orphan of the conflict, Jamuna Tamang, now 19, has not received any compensation package either, and says that even with its aid, she and her twin sister might not be able to reclaim their abandoned house in Kathmandu. They left when they were seven, after their father was kidnapped and they could not care for themselves alone.
"We were very young when our father [a teacher] was kidnapped by the Maoists and killed and were lucky because our aunt took us in," Tamang explained. "That is our land, but maybe we are too young to go and take it back."
The National Action Plan, which is still being budgeted, will be implemented over the next five years.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Carmelo Anthony amassed 29 points and 16
rebounds as the New York Knicks ran their season-high winning streak to five
games with a 98-96 overtime decision over the Phoenix Suns at Madison Square
Anthony shot just 9-of-24 from the field and the Knicks blew a 10-point lead
late in the third quarter, but began overtime on a 6-1 run before holding off
the Suns the rest of the way.
Raymond Felton added 19 points for New York, which put forth a strong
defensive effort by limiting Phoenix to a 35.5 percent shooting percentage.
The Suns fell to 1-4 on a five-game road trip despite Goran Dragic's 28 points
and eight rebounds and a 21-point effort off the bench from Leandro Barbosa.
Miles Plumlee totaled 12 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
Phoenix fought back from its double-digit deficit to grab an 84-83 edge on a
Dragic layup with 5:50 left in regulation, and Marcus Morris and Barbosa
followed with back-to-back baskets to extend the margin to five. The Suns'
lead was three before New York's Kenyon Martin scored on a putback dunk with
3:15 to go, and neither team managed a point until Anthony fed Felton for a
corner three that put the Knicks up 92-90 with 53.1 seconds remaining.
Anthony misfired on New York's next possession, however, and Martin was called
for fouling Barbosa on a near-tie-up with just 1.2 seconds showing. The
journeyman guard hit both free throws to bring on the extra session.
Anthony then hit a couple of big shots as the Knicks netted six of the first
seven points of OT to own a 98-93 lead with 2 1/2 minutes left. Though New
York failed to score the rest of the way, the Suns managed just three free
throws while missing all four of their field goal tries.
The Knicks assumed control early, with Anthony converting a 4-point play
midway through the opening quarter to ignite a 13-0 run that staked New York
to a 22-10 lead late in the period. The margin grew as high as 14 points in
the second quarter after Toure Murry drove the lane and scored for a 36-22
differential around 3 1/2 minutes into the frame.
Dragic, who poured in 20 points prior to halftime, led a 7-0 spurt later on to
pull the Suns within 40-36, but the Knicks scored the next 10 points before
settling for a 52-43 edge at the break.
New York was up by a 66-56 count with under 3 1/2 minutes to play in the third
quarter and entered the fourth ahead 75-68, but Barbosa caught fire to help
bring Phoenix back. Six of his 14-point outburst during the final period of
regulation came within a span of just over a minute, with the last of those
baskets pulling the Suns within 78-76 with 8:27 remaining.
Game Notes
Anthony was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday after
averaging 27.0 points and 2.3 steals in three New York wins ... Barbosa,
signed to a 10-day contract by the Suns on Jan. 8, had just 15 points combined
over his first three games since re-joining the club ... The Knicks have
allowed an average of just 89 points during their five-game surge ... With
Barbosa's performance and Morris' 12 points leading the way, the Suns' bench
outscored New York's reserves by a 36-26 margin.

Wedding Crashers
I attended the Wedding Crashers event at The Green Building on Sunday and it was a fun afternoon filled with good food and drinks among some pretty Brooklyn folks. I would definitely recommend event industry professionals mark their calenders for 2014. Wedding Crashers was by far one of the better wedding events I've attended.
I am in love with this shot above. It's one of the lovely members of the Tinsel & Twine team networking about.
Below, my lovely friend Melissa from Events by Melissa McNeely debuted my new company's rad orange typewriter along with some of our other vintage decor. She is a fabulous event planner for those in need!Above, the Brooklyn Based team did a fabulous job decking out The Green Building with these colorful lanterns.
Below, my favorite flowers were by the lovely Violet and Verde. Perhaps it was the doilies, but I was swooning upon arrival.
Above – these shoes had me at $88, any heel height, any color. Such a smart and stylish idea for any type of formal affair. I will definitely be snagging a pair of Chromatic Gallerie pumps for an upcoming event!
Finally below, what better way to wrap up an event by being whisked away via vintage cab. The folks at New York Checker define a stylish exit.

Trucking news: Cass Freight Index is up again in May
June 02, 2010
As the months go by in 2010, the Cass Information Systems Freight Index continues to show sustained growth.
The Index, which measures the number of shipments and expenditures that are processed through Cass's account payable systems, indicated that May shipments at 1.014 was 2.3 percent better than April's .991. And on a year-over-year basis, May shipments were up 9.7 percent compared to May 2009?s 0.913. Cass officials pointed out that this is also the first time shipments are above 1.0 since November of 2008.
May shipment expenditures at 1.784 are up 5.3 percent from April's 1.689, and are up 19.8 percent year-over-year.
Various trucking industry executives and analysts view the Cass Freight Index as an accurate barometer of freight volumes and market conditions. Credit Suisse analyst Chris Ceraso has frequently stated in research notes that "in the past that the Cass Freight Index sometimes leads the ATA (American Trucking Associations) tonnage index when freight picks up."
This follows last week's monthly tonnage report from the American Trucking Associations, which indicated its advanced seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index was up in April for the sixth time in seven months, rising 0.9 percent. This comes on the heels of a 0.4 percent March gain. April's increase put the SA at 110.2 (2000=100), following a 109.2 March reading, which at that time was its highest reading since November 2008.
The ATA said the SA was up 9.4 percent year-over-year, marking the fifth straight year-over-year gain and its biggest since January 2005. The ATA added that for the first four months of 2010, SA tonnage was up 6 percent compared to the same timeframe a year ago. The ATA also reported that its not seasonally-adjusted index (NSA), which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment, hit 111.3 in April, which was down 4.4 percent from March. On an annual basis, the NSA was up 1.7 percent.
"Truck tonnage volumes continue to improve at a solid, yet sustainable, rate," said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello in a statement.. "Tonnage is being boosted by robust manufacturing output and stronger retail sales. For most fleets, freight volumes feel better than reported tonnage because the supply situation, particularly in the truckload sector, is turning quickly."
While consumer spending is inching up and manufacturing gains continue—as evidenced by the most recent Institute for Supply Management PMI index coming in at 59.7 percent, showing growth for the tenth straight month, and the Commerce Department's recent report that new orders for manufactured durable goods in April were up 2.9 percent from March to $193.9 billion and were up 16.8 percent year-over-year, marking the fourth time in the last five months new orders were up.
Commerce also reported that durable goods shipments were up for the second straight month with a $2.7 billion—or 1.4 percent—gain to $196 billion, following a 2.1 percent March increase and were up 6.2 percent year-over-year.
Data from Commerce and the ISM portend a cautiously optimistic outlook for trucking volumes to a large degree. But Morgan Stanley analyst Bill Greene commented in a recent research report that while the pace of recovery has slowed, "incremental demand is still improving, but marginally slower than historic seasonality would suggest…and incremental supply is trending with normal seasonality."

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) - Former Virginia Governor George Allen has a new perspective. He now feels a personal connection to Jewish people worldwide.
In his opening remarks at the Jewish Community Center in Fairfax Monday morning, Allen spoke of learning about his Jewish heritage from his mother, in 2006 when he was running for re-election to the Senate.
"She revealed to me what she had concealed for many years and that was that my grandfather was Jewish," Allen told the crowd of about 50.
"She had me swear on Pop-Pop's head that I won't tell anyone," said Allen, telling the listeners that she was fearful of people knowing about her religion because of the persecution her family faced by the Nazis who imprisoned her father.
During the 2006 campaign, journalists had inquired about Allen's Jewish heritage, but received no response. They wondered if the Senator was hiding his background for political gain.
Six years ago at a Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce debate, this reporter was the panelist who asked Senator Allen about his Jewish heritage. He had not revealed it yet, thought it was unfair and responded aggressively. He encouraged the boos that began when I asked, "Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and at which point Jewish identity might have ended?"
He accused me of casting aspersions and said that his mother was raised Christian. He revealed the truth the next day. Now, he says my question was fair game and water under the bridge.
"The fact that this has been revealed has been a blessing to our family. Susan (his wife) calls it a treasure trove. It's allowed our family to talk to my mother, she'll talk more openly, and learning more about our family heritage."
George Allen has apologized for his biggest mistake in the 2006 campaign, when he infamously called a young man of Indian descent "Macaca." Several of those in the JCC audience say they saw a more humble and mature candidate on Monday.
"He just didn't run off the mouth, like he used to. He thought before he spoke," said Marsha Reiser, a JCC member and so far, an Allen supporter, though she voted for Jim Webb six years ago.

May 29, 2016
Silver Airways flights to three Mississippi cities now appear on Delta Air Lines' website, and programmers are adding flights to Greenville.
Steve Bennett, a spokesman for Silver Airways Corp. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., says the changes were made by Thursday.
Silver began flying from Atlanta to Greenville, Hattiesburg, Meridian and Tupelo this fall when Delta affiliates gave up service to the cities.
Passengers accustomed to finding flights at Delta.com couldn't book service because Silver and Delta didn't immediately link reservation systems. Those systems are now linked.
Travelers will still have to use Silver's website, travel agencies or travel websites to book flights between Mississippi and Atlanta.
Delta's reservation system will only show connections when travelers begin or end their journey with a Delta flight between Atlanta and another destination.

A high school wrestler, injured two weeks ago during a match, now has feeling again in his feet.
Hugo Rubirosa remains at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The 17-year-old Jacksonville High School junior injured his neck during a match January 3rd.
His family tells us he now feels pins and needles on his feet, and today he's undergoing a trial run of getting off the ventilator. He already is able to move his arms.
The school's athletic director says Rubirosa injured his fourth and fifth vertebrae in his neck.
Previous Story
A high school wrestler continues to make progress, a week after he was injured in a match.
Hugo Rubirosa, a junior at Jacksonville High School, remains at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The 17-year-old injured his neck, and can now move his arms. Rubirosa can feel cold in his legs, but is not yet able to move them. He is now battling pneumonia.
WITN originally was only supposed to speak with his family at the hospital. But the teen insisted to his doctor that our reporter be allowed in his room so he could deliver a message to his teammates and supporters.
Even though he is not yet able to speak, on a laminated chart Rubirosa was able to spell out what he wanted to say to friends. "Thank you for all your cards, posters and prayers," said the wrestler. "With God's help I will recover my torso and legs. Thank you. I love you."
Athletic Director Ron Holtsford says Rubirosa was in the process of taking his opponent down during last Tuesday's match, got a little off balance -- and the weight shifted from the normal lower part of his body to his upper shoulders and his head was moved about 90 degrees to the right -- injuring the fourth and fifth vertebrae in his neck.

Can not do anything about the internal changes to the file so that is a point to not worry about. Just like the chips that are semi linear with slight leakage and other issues, can not do anything about that either.

Great work Craig!
Posted 03 July 2012 - 03:43 PM
Craig, you do mention that you've tested other more modern DSLRs from canon (specifically the 5d2).
Do the 5d2 and other modern cameras also show similar behavior, i.e. longer exposures leading to lower dark current with a concomitant increase in dark noise? Does your advice on keeping the ISO low (around 400) apply to 5d2 as well?
Posted 04 July 2012 - 12:25 PM
In Table 1 there, multiply the system gain by 4 to get it back to 14-bit-actual-ADU-numbers (or look for something just under 0.25). The 50D would also then have 400 be the best starting point for ISO and the 5D II would be 800.
Posted 05 July 2012 - 04:49 AM
Back in October 2009, I followed the advice given in your earlier articles about measuring gain and read-noise and got some numbers for my 450D/XSi.
My camera's gain is 0.568 e-/ADU at ISO 400.
My camera's read error is 6.3 e- at ISO 400.
So I already "knew" that ISO 400 seemed to be the best setting. The thing is there is so much peer pressure to use the higher settings that I ended up going for ISO 800 for most of my shots since then. That's it, no more!
Looking at my notes from back then, I was puzzled by the dark frames too! I wrote
"The dark frames seem to contain values much less than the bias (1024), sometimes going down to 522 for the 20-min. It's not so much a dark current as a dark chaos."
Posted 05 July 2012 - 07:43 AM
Here is my question. Do you think that the "correction" of the image is done in firmware or software? Would simply programming some new software for the camera fix it? Have you tried the green lantern software?
Posted 05 July 2012 - 05:34 PM
First, if you can't see the graphs well, I apologize. My PNGs got converted to JPEGs and in the process got both larger and fuzzier. Go figure... I have a PDF up here: http://www.stark-lab...onLinearity.pdf
Second, I've spent the lunch break (and then some) taking some shots to look at the ISO vs. dynamic range issue in some more detail, motivated in no small part by a nice e-mail from Jerry Lodriguss. The test here, rather than plotting the mean intensity value in a flat of varying brightness, shoots a target at very low light using a solar filter. It's a perfectly overcast day here which meant that I could shoot outdoors reliably and not worry about intensity changes.
Back in my 2009 review, I pegged the optimal ISO for the cam at 800 and if you go through the full-well vs. read noise and if you look at how the read noise drops until ~1000 ISO and then flatlines with no benefit in going higher (with most of the win done by ISO 800), you could see my motivation.
Here, my data was showing better apparent low-light performance in ISO 400 than ISO 1600. Yet, as Jerry pointed out, if you calculate the dynamic range by max-signal divided by read-noise, the ISO 1600 should be better. You've given up 2 stops in terms of the top end but the dynamic range is only down 1 stop, meaning you must have made it up 1 stop somewhere -- in this case on the low end. My data average over may pixels (and we average over some number of frames) and that's part of it. But, the more I thought about it, the more that last figure seemed to not add up. The top two panels should be curvilinear and the bottom ones be linear. ISO 400 doesn't follow that as well as ISO 1600.
Now, no matter what, each time you up the ISO beyond 200, you're cutting out signal on the top end. The question is what's happening on the bottom end. You're losing dynamic range - the question is how much. At least from looking at individual frames (and not stacks), on this cam it looks like 800 may be the best bet for optimizing the low-end. There is a bump up from 400 to 800 in terms of how much you can pick up. 800 and 1600 is splitting hairs on the low end. Here, keep in mind, that we're letting read noise dominate and in a number of situations, it'll be swamped by other sources of noise. Your total dynamic range is also being cut given the harsh chops off the top.
None of this, though, suggests that you should be going to 3200, 6400, or 12800, etc. Boosting the ISO helps to a point, but only to a point. After that, it's cutting the top end and not giving you anything in return on the low end. That conclusion I'll stick to even if we bump it up a stop.
Posted 05 July 2012 - 05:36 PM
Here is my question. Do you think that the "correction" of the image is done in firmware or software? Would simply programming some new software for the camera fix it? Have you tried the green lantern software?
It's in the CR2 file as the camera writes it. I don't know green lantern, but I do know Canon's lossless-JPEG compressed TIFF-esque format. Both dcraw with those parameters and Nebulosity just do the simple decompression. Canon's own software, along with others I've tried that are geared towards daytime work do a lot more to it from there.
Posted 09 July 2012 - 11:19 AM
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I know there are two menu options buried deep within most recent Canon camera menus - High ISO noise reduction, and long-exposure noise reduction. Did you perform your tests with those options enabled or disabled?
Clear skies,
Chris Todd

Posted 25 March 2013 - 08:58 AM
Additionally, would you recommend a current offering from Canon vs a used XSi?
Posted 19 July 2013 - 12:52 PM
Posted 20 July 2013 - 10:33 PM
I'd like to rephrase the question to be
"How do we find out for our camera what the optimum ISO is (without going to all the trouble you did)?"
Posted 04 February 2016 - 04:43 PM
I did some tests with my Canon 600D. The results are pretty much the same - values in CR2 files are preprocessed. Specifically, average dark current is very close to zero and does not linearly depends on shutter speed (as it should be). However, dark current noise (standard deviation) is raising in perfectly linear fashion with the shutter speed.
Shutter Mean Sigma sec ADU ADU -------------------- 1/4000 511.8 3.1 1 512.0 3.2 2 512.0 3.3 4 512.1 3.3 8 512.0 3.4 15 512.0 3.6 30 511.9 4.2 60 511.7 5.1 120 511.2 7.4 240 512.0 12.3 480 513.0 23.7

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri voters have rejected a measure that would have sharply increased the state's lowest-in-the-nation tobacco tax.
Tuesday's vote is the third time in a decade voters have rejected an effort to boost the tax from its current 17 cents per pack. Opponents of the increase say the state would have lost millions in dollars in tax revenue from people who cross state lines to buy cheaper smokes.
Supporters say the tax would have brought in $283 million to $423 million in new revenues that would have been earmarked for higher education, K-12 schools and smoking cessation programs. Among the measure's biggest backers was the American Cancer Society, which also promoted the tax as a deterrent to young people who would be less likely to buy higher-priced cigarettes.
Statement from Misty Snodgrass, Show-Me A Brighter Future spokesperson and Legislative/Government Affairs Director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network:
"This is a sad day for Missouri. While we respect the will of voters, we do not respect the last-ditch scare tactics tobacco companies used to confuse voters and thus preserve their profits from selling deadly, addictive products.
"Missouri is still the state with the lowest tobacco tax in the country. Missouri taxpayers will continue to subsidize the tobacco industry for the $2.13 billion in annual expenditures associated with tobacco use in Missouri. Poor health care outcomes and high youth smoking rates are the price we all are paying for tobacco companies' dishonest campaigning.
"We appreciate all of the efforts of the volunteers, business and families in Missouri who supported Proposition B, informing voters and countering the dishonest campaign tactics of tobacco companies. We also want to recognize the investment made by organizations devoted to creating a brighter future for Missouri including the American Cancer Society, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Heart Association, American Lung Association, the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City, Missouri Association of School Administrators, Missouri School Board Association, including chambers of commerce and business organizations and a broad coalition of health and education organizations across Missouri. Unfortunately, all that this vote has shown is that dirty politics pays dividends - right into the pockets of tobacco companies.
"Meanwhile, our coalition will continue to support health and education in Missouri and are hopeful that those elected to represent Missourians will find a path forward to fully funding our schools, holding tobacco companies accountable for the harms of their products, decreasing smoking rates among children and increasing efforts to assist those who want to quit. Proposition B would have done all these things, but now it will be up to our state legislature to find an alternative way to meet these unmet needs in Missouri."

Chevys Reign In Santa MariaWritten by on June 2, 2005 The 24th Annual Chevy/Gmc Truckin' Nats'
Lyricist Albert Hammond wrote, "Seems it never rains in Southern California. Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before. It never rains in California. But girl don't they warn ya'. It pours, man, it pours." The rock group The Mamas and the Papas made fame and fortune singing that song. They could have been singing about the weather we experienced sporadically on Friday, March 18, through Sunday, March 20, when the 24th Annual Chevy/GMC Truckin' Nats converged on the Santa Maria, California, Fairgrounds. We say sporadically since much of the time the climate was blustery fine. Knowing vintage custom truck owners aren't afraid of a little weather, we ventured to the central part of the Golden State to check out the pickups.
We're glad we made the trip. The producer of the show, Horse Power Promotions, knows how to stage a family fun show 'n' shine. Along with plenty of pristine pickups, there were automotive aftermarket vendors along Sir Michaels Manufacturers Row. If show participants and spectators were after vintage iron, there were many opportunities to go treasure hunting in the show's vast swap-meet area. There were also ample food vendors to keep the hungry Chevy crowd satisfied.
By covering some of rock's biggest legends, including Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Blue Baron Band entertained the audience well. The lead singer and guitarist had as awesome a voice as the deft handiwork he displayed on his electric ax (guitar). The band's music was even more delicious to our ears than hearing a custom truck start up, and that's saying something, considering the source.
On Sunday, several lucky audience members won raffle prizes from Stockton Wheel, ididit, Goodmark, American Racing Wheels, and Hawaiian Island Shine. The show reached its climax shortly after the raffle, when the Hawaiian Island Shine Show 'N' Shine Awards were presented. Those three days in March, the sweet Chevys in Santa Maria were a feast for all of our senses. Check out some of the trucks that shined in the following photos. Next years' event will be March 17 through March 19, 2006. Once you've seen what you missed out on this year, you'll want to cruise into Santa Maria for the 25th annual affair.
