Jan. 29, 2005
Recap | Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Maurice Maxwell reached double-figures for the sixth time in seven games and for the fifth game in a row with 18. He is averaging 14.7 over the seven games along with 5.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds in his strong run.
Maxwell led UMass' rally in the second half, after being down by as many as 11 at 41-30, UMass took its first lead of the second half on a Maxwell three-pointer with 5:22 left in the second half at 53-52. Maxwell had 10 of his points in the second half.
Jeff Viggiano had a lay-up for his first points since returning from an ankle injury with 4:02 left in the second half to make it 57-54, UMass. He also had a lay-up with 2:16 left to tie the game at 61-61.
Senior Anthony Anderson is now 23rd in career scoring with 1,178. Next on the list is John Murphy (1,184). It was his 57th career game scoring in double-figures with 12 and his 10th time in 15 games this season with 10 or more points.
Anderson only moved up on the career steals chart today, going to fourth for career steals (143). He passed Shannon Crooks (142) and Donald Russell (142). Next on the list at No. 3 is Mike Williams (145). The all-time leader is Edgar Padilla (249).
On the other lists, he continues to be second in career three-pointers made (268), career three-pointers attempted (683) and is seventh in career assists (362).
UMass opened scoring the game's first eight points, for its best run to start a game this season. The 12-2 and 14-4 leads were also the best to start a game. Rashaun Freeman had eight of the first 14 points. In holding Richmond scoreless for the first 4:36, it was the latest any UMass opponent scored in a game this season.
UMass started the game 9-of-13 from the floor for 69.2 percent with Freeman hitting his first three shots - all in the game's first 6:35. UMass also had 12 of the game's first 15 rebounds. After the good start from the floor, UMass made just two of its next 18 field goals.
Other Notes: Richmond won the tap ... Rashaun Freeman dunked home the game's first points 26 seconds into the game ... Freeman scored the game's first four points ... Maxwell had a slam dunk for UMass' second field goal of the game building a 6-0 lead ... Lasme's basket put UMass up 8-0 ... Richmond did not score for the game's first 4:36 before Jermaine Bucknor canned a jumper to make it 8-2 ... Every member of the UMass starting line-up had scored within the game's first 10 minutes ... Richmond had a 13-0 run to tie the game at 24-24 after trailing 24-11 and built the run to 14-0 to lead for the first time at 26-24 with 4:34 left in the first half ... the run continued to as big as 19-0 over 7:11 for a 30-24 Spiders lead ... Richmond's largest first-half lead was seven - the halftime score (33-26) ... the run was even larger at 30-6 bridging the first and second halves as Richmond lead 41-30, for the Spiders' largest lead of the game (+11) ... UMass erased that lead to tie the game at 50-50 with 6:36 left in the second half on a Lasme dunk.

Woman found incompetent in Vt baby overdose deathNovember 11,2012BURLINGTON A grandmother charged with giving a fatal drug overdose to her infant grandson has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The Burlington Free Press says this weeks court decision means 55-year-old Pamela Raymond of Morristown, who was charged two years ago with second-degree murder, could be released for psychiatric treatment.
Raymond, a former nurse, has been in custody since October 2011, a year after the death of her 3-month-old grandson, Warren Bailey. The child was given a lethal dose of an antidepressant to keep him quiet so he would not bother Raymonds husband in September 2010.

either way, a mine bt 2 yrs ago, during which time Gold doubled, Isn't viable!That's OUR money.
Get those miners from History Channel'ss "Gold Rush" in with PAL. At least we can make money off the TV rights!
Those History Channel guys, especially the ones up in the Klondike now, are the Stupidest people on TV.Of course, Unlike PAL's mgt, they aren't in charge of Hundreds of millions of dollars and a Public company.Didn't they assay the mine/know it's ore strength and amount? NO.What the hell is with the Pal/PLat mining mgt?SWC Bought some worthless crap in argentina for 500mil and sunk that company... now this!There's no palladium/platinum play without running into Brain-damaged mgt.I demand resignation for this.I mean it.
That's a good point. Maybe they can move up to the Klondike, or hire that 17 years old kid.

Rock'n Elven Chick by lithrielWatch
©2011-2016 lithriel
i did my own copy of this i made sure to give you credit for it though i hope you don't mind
This image is beautiful! Would love your skills ^-^
There's nothing about this that I don't love!
I really like your style! I found you by accident, and I have to say, I am captured and intrigued. I still have to see what it is exactly but there is something more to your art than just a great talent and style. It's like I can feel real emotions behind their eyes
She is very gorgeous! I really liked her look and the pallette!
What a beautiful rock'n elven chick right there
I wish my hair looked like that
Muy buen retrato!
Great work- I love the lighting choices in this piece which really give it a more realistic feel!
Beautifully done! Love her eyes!
I'm in love with her **
Love it
Without a ref?! Very impressive!!
Nah I used some loose ref. By loose I mean I looked a pic, then MADE MY OWN version unlike some people of late. Only thing really reminiscent of the pic I looked at is the lips. I also looked at a few ears, and a few pics of tattoos, etc. I think I even looked at some various paintings and how they treated hair too, but nothing was derived from them. Just getting a feel. Refs can be your friend if you use them right.
I wish to be able to get to this stage soon, I rely more heavily on refs as I only started digital painting about a year or so ago, so I tend to recreate the image by studying it intensely
I'm actually about to write a blog entry on this very topic sometime soon. I briefly mentioned how I have recently switched from reference heavy to a "make more up" approach and how much more life and drama I can add. I want to discuss the benefits of using reference to learn how to draw first, and then cut the strings so you can really add something more artistic. I'll keep you posted.
This is so sexy!
Beautiful !!
The color balance is brilliant, really good job, I'm thoroughly impressed!
Amazing depth, very nice!
Too damn good mate!! I envy your skill
Very nice!
I love this drawing It is so filled with life, and her eyes are mesmerizing...the hair looks amazing and the skin tones are chosen so very well
everything about this is beautiful (:
Wow so gorgeous I simply love the colours and textures!
My goodness, this is exceptional! The eyes are clear and bright and the hair and skin look soft and smooth. Nice work. ;D
woooow! me encanta !!!
I concur, diggin' those eyes!
love the eyes!!
Beautiful works! All of them!
Shes so pretty
Wow she's gorgeous! I love her expression and her lips!
Beautiful job!
Awesome picture!
Instantly caught my eye as thumbnail. Nice work, especially the eyes and colours.
Very cute. Great work
I want that hair. XD I love it!!!
Great face! good job
loving the bob

text: I got this phone yesterday. I was really happy about it so that's why I thought of playing some games in it and checking out how does it perform? The game performed exceptionally well almost all types of hd games can run perfectly well in it. so that's why I sat for around 1-2 hours playing games in it. However I started noticing that the phone got heated and that too only after playing it for 2 hours at a stretch. So that's why I came here to caution you all about the same. So if somebody else is planning to take this phone then let me inform you all that this phone gets over heated very quickly. Look into this and tell me what do you all have to say about the same. is this the problem happening with my phone or somebody else has this problem? Do notify me if there is some fix developed for this phone. That's what I am waiting for. Do reply on to this.

"Laidback, Industrial-City..." Bristol by coceng
Bristol Travel Guide: 740 reviews and 1,673 photos
Now, why would I bother to make a stop in Bristol at all !? But I sure am glad that I did !
I just wanted to see the city where one of my favourite indie bands came from & they are called BROADCAST !
All the usual suspects of that ilk (the so-called 'trend-setter in music') were conceived in Bristol : Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Nelle Hopper, Roni Size...
Who the **** are they ? I hear you ask...
My answer would be, "Where the **** have you been living all this time !?"
I kinda like Bristol...I mean there's no smoke-coming-out-from-the-chimneys to be seen here, maybe I didn't venture way way further, maybe...
The town has a laidback feel like some parts are just deserted with nobody to be seen ! I could just walking naked around the city & still nobody would take notice of that ! Ace...
Out from the train station, I started to snap away...
The St. Mary Redcliffe Church is so handsome !
The Floating Harbour is almost scenic bar the evil-smelling mud in the Avon River...
Then, I also saw the Castle Park, very nice with the St. Peter's Church ruins...
My guidebook guided me through the lanes & the streets around Bristol so all the photos that you guys can see on this page are derived from that walk that I did around Bristol ! For a few hours, I thought I saw a lot...
My guidebook told me that if I would to stay the night in Bristol, I might catch the best club scenes this side of England; I chose not to...
I wanted to see The Cotswolds ! I had 2 friends waiting for me in Cheltenham...
So, Bristol...I'll come back, don't worry okay.
It started as a port & through the years had developed a range of manufacturing industries.
Hence this would make a target for the heavy bombings during WW II !
The centre was devastated so most of the buildings somehow have been rebuilt & trying painstakingly to retain their splendour...
Now Bristol is a transport hub with many connections north to The Cotswolds & The Midlands; Southwest to Devon & Cornwall & east to Bath (certainly an easy day trip from here !)
South Wales is linked to Bristol across the Severn Bridge...
Nowadays, Bristol is trying to lure tourists with plenty of bars, clubs, cinemas & restaurants to fuel the buring of the midnight oil !
I came here because I had read so much about Bristol through the so-called trendsetters in music, bands like what I mentioned above (no need to repeat !).
Come here, either from Bath or from London with many buses & train connections in between them !
The 2 photo at the top were taken by me at St. Mary Redcliffe Church; The second photo is the entrance...;
St.Mary Redcliffe Church...
[Please click]
So, here are the photos & sights that I lay out according to these pages : [Please click on the pages]
PAGE 1 : Out from Temple Meads Train Station, I led my way to see St. Mary Redcliffe Church; Spent some times there to capture the corners that intrigued me !
PAGE 2 : Then, seeing The Floating Harbour; The Queen Square...& some 'ole' buildings that tickled me fancy !
PAGE 3 : On this page, I captured some pubs (lovely buildings !); My eyes caught The Castle Park where I came near to The Church of St. Peter; Oh, I also saw 2 ducks bathing themself on the bank of Avon River...
PAGE 4 : The last page of my photos around Bristol; Sights around The Castle Park & The Church of St. Peter; Slowly walking back to Temple Meads Station to continue my journey to THE COTSWOLDS ! [Please click]
- Pros:A Beautiful Town By The Avon River...
- Cons:The Term 'Industrialized' Is So Misleading; There's No Smoke-Coming-Out-From-The-Chimneys To Be Seen Here !
- In a nutshell:Make A Short Stop In Bristol From Bath...

This would be my last photo in Bristol...Capturing the sight just outside the station where buses were waiting, people... more travel advice
Slowly, I walked back to the train station : Temple Meads Station. I had to catch my train to Cheltenham to start my... more travel advice
One of my favourite photos, taken in Bristol. We can see the corn structure (supposedly a fountain...) with the tower... more travel advice

SAMSONG Industries, Ltd.
|SAMSONG Industries, Ltd. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|SEATBELT RETRACTOR - This is the current invention of the components or their construction for the seat belt retractor. The invention enables the fitting angle of the seat belt to be adjustable to the specified range of the vehicle stabilization, deceleration/acceleration sensor. The bracket holder is constructed on the holder sensor, and contains the formation of the No.
|SEATBELT BUCKLE WITH SHOCK-PROOF DEVICE - Disclosed is a buckle for a seatbelt apparatus provided in an automobile, airplane, etc., fastened around a seat to keep a passenger safely secured. More particularly, disclosed is a shockproof device installed to a seatbelt buckle. The shockproof device is installed behind a release button and lock pin, to prevent the release button from being unexpectedly released when the release button is moved in a non-release direction. Even when the release button and lock pin are moved in a release direction, on the basis of a rotation angular velocity of the inertia lever rather than a rotation torque thereof, surface contact between the lock pin and the inertia lever is accomplished and simultaneously, owing to an anti-rotation configuration thereof, the inertia lever reliably prevents unexpected disengagement between the tongue plate and the buckle under the influence of any magnitude of inertial force.

JUMP BACK A YEAR. Ballplayers are rolling out to their local cineplex to check Spike Lee's latest flick, He Got Game. What moves will the director of Do the Right Thing, a dyed-in-the-wool Knicks fan, make to celebrate America's latest, greatest pastime? Will Michael Jordan fly across the opening credits? Will New York's nemesis, three-point-shooting guard Reggie Miller, get slapped with an inside dis? And what about the soundtrack? Will it be Miles blowing over a sweltering groove, à la Jungle Fever? Could be. Sly & the Family Stone puffed up and plugged in? Maybe so. Chuck D. bouncing rhymes off a backbeat? That would work.
The lights fade. The projector rolls. A corn-fed redhead nails jump shots through a naked rusty rim fixed to a barn somewhere in the heart of the nation's breadbasket. Slow-motion cut. Two little white kids dribble the rock on a suburban driveway, Anywhere, USA. Cut. A half-dozen shirtless teens navigate the cracked blacktop courts skirting a run-down housing project on Chicago's south side. No dialogue, just a swell of music backing the collage. "Lincoln Portrait," to be exact, composed by Aaron Copland--disciple of Debussy and Ravel, born 1900, died 1990--and commissioned by the Department of War in 1942. The juxtaposition of sound and image jars: Sure, Copland's track has that dramatic gust, but isn't this supposed to be a film about modern-day ball, a rags-to-rags street opera, and not some tired Western where John Wayne rides off into the sunset? Is Spike on the pipe? Is he selling out?
Not so fast. Copland, see, was a rebel--a trailblazer who, as his life wound down, became known as the first significant classical composer to turn against all influences European. As much populist as patriot, he had little use for class distinctions or prejudice. Spike Lee gets it: This mood music is a cinematic salvo, fired across Hollywood's racial divide. Basketball isn't about two backboards, ten players, and a ball. It's about attitude, and bodies black, white, and the spectrum between, blowing off steam in the hottest of summer suns. It's about team play and the solo ride, about busting a break, turning your moves into music, getting loose, going free.
"Work for the man nine to five, come down here to get me a game, and these motherfuckers come rollin' down the hill," someone shouts from inside the knot of players sweating up the court. "It's harassment, man. It's bullshit." Elvin "Preacher" Owens has picked up his dribble. The early-evening game at Loring Park, just west of downtown, has made for a bruising duel, tied at seven as the mercury hits 80, and it's dead--for now.
Two officers from the Minneapolis Park Police have driven their cruiser down the grassy hill that leads to the park's lone full-length basketball court, and parked next to a cluster of trees. Another couple of cops, sporting sleek bicycle helmets and mirrored sunglasses, have pedaled over from the tennis courts to offer backup. Loring's regular hoopsters, a clutch of thirtysomething men, greet them with narrow stares and a barrage of murmurs.
"Shit, we're just down here trying to get some exercise."
"While you motherfuckers are down here eyeing us up, five people will get shot over on Chicago and Lake."
"You want an arrest? I'll take you down to Seventh and Hennepin. You want to know what's going on down there? Dude just sold a dime bag at a discount, that's what."
A few yards away, perched on a picnic table nestled in the shade, the handful of spectators who've gathered to take in the evening's pickup games, down a few beers, blow a dube or two, and shoot the breeze, snicker and shake their heads, amused by the singsong banter bouncing off the backboards, disgusted with what they see as the cops muscle-flexing for show only. "Yesterday, they had those damn horses down here sniffin' in our faces," an old-timer known as Pops snaps. "Now they're trying to run us over. If I drove my car down here--no road, no sidewalks--they'd haul my ass to jail."
After a few uncomfortable, stalled minutes, the police pick up stakes. It's unclear for whom or what they were looking ("Some brother must've broken loose," an onlooker jokes, conjuring a howl). On any other day, the standoff would've faded into thin air with the next offensive juke or gritty defensive stop. As they turn their squad car around, though, the officers run tracks over a pile of gym clothes lying in the grass. "Yo, man, you just ran over my shorts!" one of the players screams as he sprints toward the heap. "Oh, uh, sorry..." the driver mutters, and retreats up the hill.
"Did you see that? Man, they just drove down in here and fucked my shit up!" As Preacher yells, "Ball in!" restarting the game, players in line to challenge for game two, still pacing between a pair of paint-chipped benches along the court's faded sideline, take up the incident as an excuse to engage in a boisterous, poetic bull session. If this were a white game somewhere in Edina, the men complain, the cops would be down here laying odds; instead, since everyone on this end of the park is black, they're playing it like Clint Eastwood: hardball--no manners, no respect. One young man suggests that the next time Johnny Law comes sniffing, everyone ought to take off running, just for a laugh. That'd freak 'em. Amen, one player shouts as he stretches a quad. After lacing up his spotless white high-tops, he thinks better of the prank: "They can always come up with some reason to arrest you, brother. There's always a reason."
The next morning, when asked if his officers make a habit of shaking up games in the inner city, Lt. L.A. Evenrud of the Minneapolis Park Police explains that it's the activity around an outdoor court, not on it, that usually causes concern. And he's sure the officers at Loring had good reason to interrupt yesterday's match. "In general, we're in a reactive mode with respect to problems on basketball courts. We wouldn't necessarily be looking for ways to intervene unless we had a series of complaints," Evenrud clarifies. "As a matter of habit, we do surveillance, conduct sweeps, and check garbage cans. And because Loring's population literally changes every 15 minutes of the day, that court is probably a gathering place for a lot of different kinds of people. We do watch that area, not because of who is playing, but because of what goes on around the game, such as alcohol use, weapons, and drug dealing."
Edward Reynolds smiles through a snort when he hears Evenrud's explanation. He's been running in games at Loring for years. By his lights, there's one and only one group hanging by this court: his group, trading the day's gossip and enjoying the weather. Sure, they might toss back a beer, or a nonplayer might take a toke. But they're not peddling their vices or waving them in the faces of other park habitués. Reynolds is convinced the police aren't always about preventing trouble; sometimes they're about looking for an excuse to shut down the game--for good. "If they can come up with a reason," the thick, 30-year-old post-up player insists, "they'll rip this court up and turn it into a wading pool."
Given what's happened over the past decade in the Minneapolis park system, it's hard to dismiss Reynolds's theory. There are still more than 60 outdoor, public basketball courts in the city (along with 21 indoor gymnasiums). But after fielding a slew of complaints by residents who live near certain city parks--irritated about noisy late-night games and what they see as the increasing volatility among the (mostly black) players who play them--the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has opted to take out ten of the city's most storied outdoor basketball facilities.
In 1990 two full courts at Peavey Park--a hot spot for hustlers at the corner of Franklin and Chicago--were ripped out and replaced with three half-courts. Soon after, Farview Park in north Minneapolis lost its full court, where local high school stars had often settled their athletic rivalries in legendary off-season tilts. In the last six years, full-court players at northeast's Logan Park; Lowry Hill's Mueller Park; and southeast's VanCleve Park have also been forced to look elsewhere for a two-hoop, outdoor game. In 1997 one of the most competitive spots in town, in Bryant Square Park, at 31st Street and Bryant Avenue in south Minneapolis, fizzled when that always-hoppin' full court was traded up for one with a single basket that these days attracts almost without exception only grade school kids.
Maureen Durand, the assistant superintendent of recreation in Minneapolis, stresses that each of these alterations was made for good reasons. Say the court was located close to residential streets: Neighbors complained about the noise. "It doesn't even have to be that crowded," Durand says. "Sometimes, if the court is right across the street, it could just be the bouncing of the ball on a warm night in the city when people have their windows open." Or say park patrons notice that little kids aren't getting the chance to shoot hoops, because the big boys who've driven in from all over town won't share the court. That situation, Durand recalls, has caused more than one block club to marshal its forces and demand that council members and the Park and Rec Board do something; that something has often meant divvying up a full court.
What comes up most, though, Durand notes, is neighborhood groups' concerns about "the nature of the competition" on the courts: When the contests gets fierce, the court gets a reputation as the place to play ball. And that reputation, Durand points out, tends to attract more players than most city parks were designed to handle--either on or off the blacktop. Mix talented, high-octane players on a full court, and the adrenaline starts pumping, the trash talk starts flying, and the occasional punch gets thrown. Spectators, in turn, treat the pickup games as they might a street festival: drinking, playing loud music, and gambling into the late hours, past the neighborhood's bedtime.
"People end up going to the full courts after the bars close," Durand says, "so there can be a lot of noise and a lot of people. In those kinds of situations, the closer the court is to the parking lots, the louder it will be. People might be playing their stereos or they might have coolers in their trunks."
Durand also insists that there are more than enough full courts available for serious players, from Powderhorn to Kenwood. If residents aren't griping, she says, the Park and Rec Board lets the games go on; even when they do gripe, the board's response is to exhaust every avenue toward settling the scene down before making a structural change: "We'll lock it at night or take it out of play for a while. Then we'll consider going to half-courts before we remove them altogether."
The board has no plans to shut down more courts this summer. For that matter, according to park planner MaryLynn Pulscher, the city is hoping to spruce up the cracked, slanted slab that is Loring's court before the leaves fall. "Loring is centrally located," Pulscher says. "You've got great trees, just a great setting. We want to give the place a paint job, brand-new hoops, and some newer benches. We're even talking about putting in a drinking fountain."
Reynolds wants to believe the department will actually come through, but he can't help being a bit suspicious. Last year park workers took out three barbecue pits near the picnic tables, where he and his buddies would kick back and cook out after working up a sweat. At the time, there were promises of replacement. Now, it seems, they're gone for good--a fate he fears the court might follow too. "My worry is they'll bust up the pavement, promising something better, then leave it unfinished for good or until everyone scatters," Reynolds says. "I can hear it now. 'We don't have enough money to finish the job just yet. We'll do it next year.' Blah, blah, blah."
Be these fears real or imagined, Reynolds and his cohorts don't want to give those opposed to their game any excuses to shut it down. So they keep a watch out for the cops and an eye on their own crew. Late one June afternoon, a weathered, potbellied con artist, dressed in a soiled tank top, ratty khakis, and a battered Vikings cap, wanders over and unrolls a dirty yellow bath towel near center court, pulls out a wad of twenties, and throws down a pair of dice. "Lay your bets," he howls. A police car starts to crawl, very slowly, across the park. "Put that away," Reynolds pleads. "We're trying to do something positive here, and you're going to fuck it up. Next time I see you down here, I'm going to call the cops myself."
The man, speaking in a slow slur, responds with a barrage of insults. L.J., a boisterous young player, dribbles over to enter the fray on behalf of Reynolds. Soon all three men are trading abuse, one-upping each other until what began as a tense confrontation shape-shifts into a comedic crowd pleaser.
"What's with the Vikings hat, old man? There's one white guy on the whole goddamn team, and he misses the field goal," L.J. razzes, referring to the squad's heartbreaking loss in last year's playoffs.
"That's right. And when that motherfucker missed that field goal," the man counters, "all 45,000 people in that stadium should've stood up and shot his ass."
Reynolds and L.J. fall out, chuckling as they wander back to the court for one more run before knocking off.
Halfway through the 1998 book Hoops Nation: A Guide to America's Best Pickup Basketball, author Chris Ballard concludes that "the Twin Cities are less than equal when in comes to hoops.... In fact, Minneapolis is almost an only child, though a few decent runs can be found in St. Paul." Those looking for a serious tilt in the capital city will find satisfaction, according to Ballard, only at Mounds View High School or on the asphalt at Martin Luther King Park--sorry pickings, all said, up against the legendary boroughs of New York City, the multicourt digs in Philly, or the semipro pickups in Detroit.
Minneapolis doesn't fare much better. The Arena Club in downtown Minneapolis gets the guidebook's highest rating. No wonder. Especially during the summer months, bold souls who frequent the indoor, air-conditioned facility, located on the lower level of Target Center, can play alongside high school elites and local collegiates, or test their skills against bench players from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Arena Club is members-only, though (accompanied guests pay $12; unaccompanied pay $17). So to many inner-city players, its posh locker room is no more accessible than, say, an NBA contract. For those looking to play without paying a cover, Ballard submits an alternative: "A less friendly game goes on at Loring Park, where sideline drinking can cause tempers to flare." Earning three of four stars ("average high school level of competition"), the run-down court is dubbed "physical"--by Ballard's measure, "no blood, no foul."
Preacher Owens believes Ballard's evaluation in regard to tempers, one he's heard circulated for years, misses the point. A 37-year-old shooting guard who played college ball for Northern Michigan University's Wildcats, Preacher says those who glimpse the action as they stroll through the park often confuse Loring's intense competition with hostility. What they don't see, he believes, is that the court's congregants keep the faith, and keep company, because there's a sense of community, of mutual respect. Still, he won't deny that every point on this court is hard-won.
"People down here are from the heart and soul of the city," Preacher testifies. "They'll play with jeans on, they'll play with work boots on. They don't care how they look. Because down here, man, it's the gridiron. Everybody knows the brothers will kick, scratch, and bite for every basket. That's why only a few white guys can make it out here. Because only a few of them have heart. Yeah, we're older, a little slower. But that just means we win by knowing good basketball: passing, posting-up, trapping, and solid defense."
James Brown, known as J.B., a 29-year-old Chicago native who played for Augsburg College in the early 1990s, seconds Preacher's sentiment. He figures that "80 percent" of the Loring allegiants he knows--and he knows almost all of them by now--have logged hundreds of hours on high school teams, in junior college programs, or both. Some, like St. Paul Central graduate Anthony Jackson and Preacher, have played for money in Pro-Am tournaments around the Upper Midwest region or in pro leagues such as the Continental Basketball Association. "You come down here, you bring it back to the original game," J.B. brags. "You're bringing it back outside, in the toughest conditions. See that manhole at center court? If you set the ball down on the baseline, it's going to roll downhill. See that support pole? It's two and a half feet from the rim. Guys go in hard for a lay-up, they're taking their life in their own hands. But no one cares. We'll take the wind, the sun, and suck up the stink coming off that pond over there. Guys out here will play with ligament tears. No one complains. That's what makes this court real."
"It's true," Reynolds adds, "there's just something about this game that just drags you in. Guys will come down here dressed to go out on the town, and the next thing you know they're out there running in a game. You just breathe it. And just because you get older doesn't mean it goes away. You still think you can do it."
Of course, Loring isn't the only outdoor, two-hoop game in town. Quality players can sometimes "get a run on" at places such as Painter Park on West 34th Street or on the courts in Linden Hills at 43rd Street and Xerxes Avenue. Among those in the know, though, only one other sunlit scene competes with Loring's lore. Over the past decade, Lynnhurst Park, at 50th Street and Minnehaha Parkway, on the edge of Edina, has earned props for attracting some of the metro's hottest athletes. If Loring is for the seasoned street pro, Lynnhurst is for the up-and-comer still testing his limits off the dribble and in the air. There are always a few lifers on hand to drop knowledge, in case the school kids forget what's what.
Mike Contrers, a 30-year-old St. Paulite and former shooting guard for Concordia College in St. Paul, makes the pilgrimage to keep his three-pointer tuned. ("These young guys try to take over. So us old guys have to stand our ground.") Karl Gilleylen--affectionately known as "Killer"--has been part of the up-tempo games since he moved to the Cities from Aberdeen, Mississippi, 12 years ago. ("I'm a talker. That's my game. I get in their heads.") "White Boy Chad" Latvala keeps filling the quota, because, to his thinking, this is the best pickup in town. "Lynnhurst is all about the young guys who think they're MJ," he offers with a sly grin. "Loring's all about a bunch of smoking, drinking, old motherfuckers who think they can still play."
Lynnhurst's weekend pace is frenetic. Games are played to 13. Winners stay to take on all challengers. On crowded summer days, once your team loses, it's unlikely you'll get another run for hours. Because the court is right in the middle of one of the city's most affluent parks, and features a picturesque baseball field and a state-of-the-art playground, no one dares gamble, smoke, or drink around the court. There's plenty of trash talk, sure. But there are fewer tangles than there are at Loring. For starters, the players are younger and more fit, and they don't rely on petty arguments to slow up the pace. There's also the shared awareness among the regulars that someone's always looking to scotch their deal.
In 1996, heeding the call of neighbors concerned about growing crowds, profanity, and a lack of access to baskets for younger kids, the Park and Rec Board tore up one of Lynnhurst's two full-sized courts and replaced it with a couple of half-courts. The reasoning, according to assistant superintendent Durand, was simple: Because the court furthest from the playground was kept intact, older players could still compete, youngsters on the swing set wouldn't be exposed to the game's verbal intensity, and those looking to shoot a game of horse would have somewhere to go.
Killer doesn't argue with the rationale, but he and everyone else competing on this gorgeous afternoon in early June can't help but mourn the loss of their second court, nor wonder if their days at Lynnhurst are numbered. "When we had both courts, we called one the NBA and the other the CBA. Losers would play on the CBA court, winners would play on the NBA court. It meant more games for everyone. So the crowds would be huge. Back then, if you weren't here by 9:30 a.m., you were four or five runs down."
"It's a shame!" Latvala shouts. "You need to get that court back. And you need to make sure this one stays as is. You tell them a white guy said that. Maybe they'll listen."
Contrers, citing beggars' logic, admits there will never be enough outdoor baskets for the pickup addict. But to lose another full court in a city where they're already on their way to the endangered species list would be tragic: "Man, it's like this: If they had lights out here, we'd never leave. We'd be here until midnight, every night. Guys would be getting divorced."
A decade ago Farview Park, near the corner of Broadway and Lyndale avenues in North Minneapolis, was ground zero. On the sidelines it had all the scenic trappings of Loring's never-ending picnic. On the court the stick-thin teens could make today's Lynnhurst look like amateur night at the Apollo. By 1990, though, the neighbors had seen, and heard, enough.
Park officer M.S. Swanson, who has patrolled Farview since 1989, says the full court was removed mainly because it was too close to a parking lot, where crowds who'd come to see heated games gathered, along with their booming car stereos and coolers full of beer. The Park and Rec Board was also worried about the on-court competition, which had gotten so intense that loud arguments often turned into brawls that spilled into the parking lot; it wouldn't take much for the brawls--relatively harmless stressburners--to turn really ugly.
"A really, really intense game needs to be inside, where a rec center's staff can provide supervision," Durand says. For Paul Jaeger, who runs Farview's indoor recreation center, the question by the early 1990s had become, "What do you do when a few guys head to an outdoor court, looking to blow off some steam, and it causes some problems? You know, there's a bass booming, there's some loud swearing, a few beers between games. Now, are any of these things really all that terrible? No. But to the old lady living 50 feet away, it's a big deal. And when you think about it, it should be. She shouldn't have to put up with that."
The same year Farview's full court disappeared, the city built a rec center; staff at Farview then began offering an adult basketball league in the indoor gym on Monday nights. The call for players was an instant success. Today 60 or more of the city's strongest high school athletes and college prospects routinely show up to compete on the center's two full-sized courts. "We like to say this is where Khalid [El Amin] played when he was just a kid," Jaeger says, proud of the high school champ and NCAA star as is anyone on the north side.
The rules are simple. Hoopsters sign in at the front desk, where they must leave their bags, backpacks, purses, and jackets before entering the gym, just in case they're carrying a weapon, some booze, even a pack of cigarettes. Then, for a three-dollar fee, they can sign up to rotate in and out of games, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Each contest lasts ten minutes. The team with the highest score when the buzzer sounds wins. By design, the system is supposed to cut down on arguments, since the clock never stops and players don't want to waste precious time bickering.
Still, because the competition is so fierce, arguments often break out over petty fouls or last-second shots. E.J., a volunteer from the neighborhood who will only say he's old enough to be most everyone on the court's father, figures it is this type of confrontation, in the heat of battle, that casual observers take too seriously. "For some guys, talk is part of their game. It's about getting into their opponent's head. When you get two guys who talk, you get a situation that's hectic. But as you hang around this game, you understand what that's all about. In fact, you kind of look forward to it."
Tonight, the Knicks are playing the Pacers in game three of the NBA playoffs, so the crowd at Farview is smaller than usual. By coincidence or not, there also seems to be a higher concentration of talent. Part-timers from Loring's game and youngsters from Lynnhurst's have likely gathered at home to watch the game and maybe pick up a few new tricks from the pros. But ladder-climbers like state champ Tamara Moor--former star of North High's Lady Polars, Ms. Basketball Minnesota 1998, now a starter for the Wisconsin Badgers women's team--can't afford to pass up an evening of playing Class A ball.
"There's a lot of talent in this gym," Moore confirms, as she sits on the bleachers pointing out the stars. There's Calvin Hill, formerly of Patrick Henry High in north Minneapolis, now attending the University of Northern Iowa. A group of starters from Washburn High on the city's west side. Allen Anderson of northeast's Edison High. DeAndre Townsend, a promising ninth-grader regulars here call "Little Bear." A couple of Moore's former classmates, two guys who in 1998 helped bring home another state championship trophy to Minneapolis North, are just taking off their sweats. Female players are as scarce as white guys are at outdoor city courts; on Mondays at Farview, though, you can always count on four or five women to mix it up with the men.
The demographics at each of the city's most popular courts reflect different styles of play. Loring's older crowd prefers a slow, physical game, where perimeter players feed a bigger post man who either takes a shot or passes it back outside (think New York Knicks, pre-Latrell Sprewell). Fouls are frequent in the paint, and, if anyone's running, defense is weak. As Ballard put it in Hoops Nation, no blood, no foul. Lynnhurst, like Farview, is populated by fit, game-ready athletes. Like their elder brethren at Loring, though, they play together frequently, so they know what to expect from one another on both offense and defense. As a result, the game is more team-oriented. Crisp passes around the arc often lead to open three-pointers, or free up playmakers for a quick slash into the lane. Selfish players find themselves subject to verbal lashings from both observers and teammates.
Mondays at Farview are all about individual performance. Showtime. Ball handlers look to drive, shooters fire at will, big guys turn rebounds into rim-rattling dunks. Moore, who has just run onto the hardwood to play her first game of the night, led last year's Badgers in assists, free-throw percentage, and steals. So she'll use her quickness to exploit the one-on-one defense at Farview, frustrating some of the best men with a mean crossover and dead-on aim.
As they watch from a set of bleachers across the gym, Bemidji State's Larry Smith and Henry High's Quinnone Berry try to get inside Moore's head. "You got to take that shit!" Smith cries when she passes off a shot. "That's what I'm talking about!" Berry taunts when Moore's man hits a jumper. Each time they toss out an insult, the Badger hikes her shorts, rolls up her shirt sleeves, trains her stare harder ahead, and turns a deaf ear toward the two. Eventually, Smith and Berry get bored. To pass the time before their next turn, they start trading tales, like a couple of fishermen on a no-catch day.
"The other day I went up over this guy and broke the rim right on his head," Smith deadpans. "The backboard just shattered, man, cut his leg from knee to ankle. I still have the glass in a jar at home." Berry roars in approval: "Yep. That's how it be sometime on the north side."
Back at Loring Park, Miles Tarver and Kevin Clark, senior starters for last season's University of Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team, are milling around the playground equipment just a few yards from the hoops at Loring Park, taking in the action. When Reynolds spots them, he can't help but wonder if they're planning to join the tournament J.B. is organizing for the weekend of June 12. The admission fee is $100 per team (any team that pays, plays), winner take all. If the tournament proves anything like last year's, the competition will attract talent from all over the city, including mainstays from both Lynnhurst and Farview.
Asked if he plans to suit up as a ringer, Tarver--understandably skittish, given the ongoing media scrutiny around his alleged involvement in the Gophers' academic fraud scandal--shakes his head. "No, no, my knees would go if I played on this blacktop."
Clark just stares at the court, where another errant shot is about to ricochet off the rim.
"Besides," Tarver adds, rolling his eyes, "I'm just here to enjoy the weather. Man, half these motherfuckers can't even play basketball."
It is a beautiful night--clear, breezy, a couple of hours before dusk. There's the sense that if Tarver and Clark didn't feel like bugs under the local media's microscope, they'd be over at the picnic tables, watching the regulars play dominos, laying odds on the Spurs, or maybe teaching the old-timers a few new moves on the battered, heat-warped court.
But no, they wander off. As they're leaving, Reynolds gets the word. "They're not going to play? Is that what he said? I wouldn't be surprised if J.B. convinced them to show up this weekend. Wouldn't be surprised at all. They're just like the rest of us, man--can't say no to a game."

We're all on pins and needles waiting for the Supreme Court to finally release its decision on Brown v. EMA, so why not relieve some tension listening to an academic offer his less-than-impressed analysis of the evidence supporting the violent video game law authored by California State Senator Leland Yee.
Dr. Paul Ballas is a Philadelphia psychiatrist who deals with examining psychiatric illnesses in children and one of dozens who signed an amicus brief in support of the EMA. At the recent Games Beyond Entertainment conference in Boston, Ballas examined whether Yee's evidence supported his argument that playing violent video games is a harmful thing for the kiddies to do.
Believing that any law based on research-backed harm has the responsibility to prove that it will actually alleviate said harm, Ballas looked at three studies Yee used to support his law.
The first was Douglas Gentile's 2004 study that surveyed 607 eighth and ninth graders, asking them what types of video games they played, how violent the games were, what the students' hostility levels were, etc. Ballas pointed out that none of this self-reported data was corroborated.
"I've worked with 14-year-olds long enough to know that if you give them a long list of questions, and they're bored, and there's no downside to making up stuff, they'll just make up stuff," Ballas said. "What's fascinating is that there's stuff that [the study authors] could have absolutely double-checked, like grades. But they didn't do that. They didn't send requests for report cards in this study."
The second study was covered in Craig Anderson's 2004 book "Violent Video Game Effect." It measured the blood pressure of 130 college students after they had played a violent video game. The obvious problem is that this study didn't look at kids so it's not applicable as evidence in the first place. Also, Ballas wasn't impressed by the increases in blood pressure the students experienced.
"Blood pressure goes up when you do lots of different things," Ballas said, citing that musicians often report a rise in blood pressure whenever they perform. "It doesn't mean that they should stop performing, it just means that they were excited to do that activity."
The third study (Jeanne Funk, 2004) measured the empathy levels of 150 fourth and fifth graders after they had played a violent video game. While Ballas found the measures used in the study reasonable, the study's conclusion doesn't do much to support the need for Yee's law anyway.
"The authors stated at the end of the study, however, that the relationships identified between the source of violence exposure and indicators of desensitization did not necessarily translate into causality. The authors further noted that children with lower empathy scores, and pro-violence attitudes, may simply have just been drawn to violent video games. The study also had a small sample size with no control group for pertinent variables like deviant peer influence and family violence."
While it's always fun to watch someone in the know eviscerate a law most of us actively dislike, the big question remains: what does the Supreme Court think? We'll find out sometime in the next month or so. At least, as long as the world doesn't end today.
Stay tuned…

Summary:NBC's one-hour drama chronicles the lives of ordinary people who find out they have extraordinary abilities. After a total eclipse, a genetics professor -- whose father recently went missing -- uncovers a theory about people with superhuman powers. Elsewhere, a young man tries to convince his politician brother he can fly, a teenage girl finds she's totally indestructible, a Vegas showgirl discovers that her mirror image is a separate being, and an artist (struggling with a drug addiction) can paint the future. Ultimately, this disparate group of folks will be asked to save the world.

I love the smell of new machines in the morning.
I'm automating a machine creation workflow that involves several separate systems across my infrastructure, some of which involve 15 year old perl scripts on Solaris hosts, PXE Booting Linux systems, and Powershell on Windows Server 2008.
I can script each of the individual parts, and integrating the Linux and Unix automation is fairly straightforward, but I'm at a loss as to how to reliably tie together the Powershell scripts to the rest of the processes.
I would prefer if the process began on a Linux host, since I imagine that it will end up as a web application living on an Apache server, but if it needs to begin on Windows, I am hesitantly okay with that.
I would ideally like something along the lines of psexec for Linux to run against Windows, but the answer in that direction appears to by Cygwin, and as much as I appreciate all of the hard work that they put in, it has never felt right, if you know what I mean. It's great for a desktop and gives a lot of functionality, but I feel like Windows servers should be treated like Windows servers and not bastardized Unix machines (which, incidentally, is my argument against OSX servers, too, and they're actually Unix). Anyway, I don't want to go with Cygwin unless that's the last and only option.
So I guess what I'm asking is if you know of a way to execute jobs on Windows machines from Linux. Without Cygwin. I'm open to ideas and suggestions, including "Look idiot, everyone uses Cygwin, so suck it up and deal with it". Thanks in advance!

Best way to market a $650 jacket is to show a model going into a sewer.
Wow... 650?
If i had 650 and need a nice outerwear for camping i'd go to big5 and get a two nice windbreakers and a nice heavy down coat for 100dollars.
And spend the next 500 dollars on twinkies.
I spent $500 CAD on a Canada Goose duck down parka, but that's actually worth it, IMO, as it'll last a decade and keep me warm in -15C weather. $650 for essentially a fancy windbreaker is pushing it. Sort of reminds me of Patagonia's stuff, in terms of price.
CAD? Is that a fancy sweater also?
Brother is a big camping man, He has a 200 dollar sleeping bag that is 24hour water proof and is supposed to cycle fresh air so you can sleep with it over your head and not die lol...
Can we see a pictar of your coolio CAD? Sounds super fancy. Cannondale caad

I just ordered three.
I'll post a review shortly.
(But seriously... cotton?)
whats the guy running from?
I don't personally think Vancouver is cold enough for these, but chances are all the Asian kids have them anyway, eh Vixtor?
It's actually worth the cash though.
i'm going to buy an orion, but by the time i have the money for it i'll be looking at spring flowers.
i returned my ****ty buck30 jacket.
In terms of my cycling needs, I don't need any 650 dollar jacket.. I'd rather not have the restrictions of a winter jacket . Some think a 50 dollar base layer to be too expensive.. With my high tech base layer, I don't need a heavy winter jacket. I go out in cold down to the freezing point , that along with a light jacket works just fine.
Pray for the Dead and Fight like Hell for the Living
^ Since January 1, 2012
I know, 650 seems a bit much, but this would make a nice addition to your kit.
I wish there was someone who could offer reasonably priced cycle specific gear.
i wonder how many theyll sell.
****. now that i'm not poor it's sold out in my size in all colors.
