Spurs 99, Thunder 89
The question started off simple, a softball some would say.
Nick Collison's answer, however, was all-too revealing, one that explained a significant sore spot for the Thunder.
"I think what you can learn from their team is when it comes down to big possessions they always get a good shot," Collison said when asked what his younger teammates can learn from San Antonio. "They know what they want to do and they do it. Sometimes with our team we're just kind of out there and whatever happens, happens. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad."
And sometimes it's ugly.
It was ugly in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 99-89 loss to the Spurs inside the Ford Center.
Ugly because the Thunder missed 14 of 20 shots in the period. Uglier because Kevin Durant attempted only two of those shots.
Durant scored a team-high 24 points with seven rebounds and six assists in 40 minutes. But as has been the case more often than not this season, he vanished in the fourth. Did so again Tuesday, scoring just two points on a pair of free throws despite playing nearly 10 minutes in the final period.
While San Antonio stubbornly ran its offense through Tim Duncan and Tony Parker — the two combining for 10 of the Spurs' 20 shots in the decisive fourth quarter — the Thunder relied on the "whatever happens, happens" approach.
How else do you explain Oklahoma City's best player attempting only two of the team's 20 shots in a tightly-contested fourth quarter? Russell Westbrook had five attempts. Shaun Livingston had four. Collison, Nenad Krstic, Kyle Weaver and D.J. White each had two. With the exception of Livingston, each of them played almost half the minutes Durant did in the final period.
Things look worse when you consider the second of Durant's shot attempts was a too-little-too-late 3-point heave with 50.9 seconds remaining and the Thunder trailing by 12.
"I just play my role," Durant said. "I just run the plays Scotty calls. I trust him that we're going to get a good shot every time down. We got good shots, but we just got to do a better job making them. Of course as a competitor, as a player, I want the ball in my hands. But I feel confident in my teammates that they'll hit shots. So I'm not worried about it at all. Whenever my number's called I'll be ready."
Maybe it's time for Durant to call his own number.
Before he ever evolves into a great player, Durant must first develop a killer instinct, an attitude and swagger that displays some selfishness when the game is on the line.
Brooks insisted he was fine with Durant's 0-for-2 fourth quarter performance.
"The thing I liked about Kevin's game tonight is he competed," Brooks said. He challenged himself defensively to get rebounds and he did that. He challenged himself to contest shots and he did that. Good teams that are strong defensive teams, they're going to make your best player make plays and Kevin passed the ball well tonight. He had six assists and probably could have had a couple more…I don't mind him not taking shots. I like KD and all of our players to make the right play. Is he getting the ball? Is he making the right play? That's what I look at. I thought he did that tonight."
Durant recorded just one rebound, zero assists, zero steals and zero blocked shots in the fourth quarter. While his Thunder teammates did indeed miss shots, the ball rarely ran through Durant on most possessions in the fourth. That's seemingly a bigger problem than the minimal shot attempts.
At some point someone, whether it's Brooks, Westbrook or Durant himself, has to realize Durant can be a game-changer. But as we've seen so many times this season in the fourth quarter, it's often whatever happens, happens while Durant is standing around the perimeter placing too much faith in his coaches and teammates.

Rocky Votolato, who came up 15 years ago as singer-guitarist for the Seattle band Waxwing but now concentrates on a softer, folkish sound, is playing at Seattle's Neumos on Saturday, June 9.
Rocky Votolato — who plays Neumos Saturday — first sailed into port 15 years ago as singer-guitarist for the band Waxwing.
The post-grunge foursome worked up a tempestuous racket, channeling fellow Seattleites Sunny Day Real Estate's sweeping sound but adding a metallic flair. But it was Votolato's blanket-warm vocals — limited in range, yet rich in emotion — that truly set Waxwing apart.
Amid the din lurked a troubadour. Votolato seemed to know it. In 1999, he began navigating the calmer waters of acoustic folk-rock, and has been steering with a mostly steady hand since.
Following 2010's "True Devotion," however, things started looking a bit, well … rocky. Votolato's contract with Seattle's Barsuk label was up, complicating plans for his seventh solo voyage, "Television of Saints." A two-week studio session, in which an album's worth of content was scrapped, led to a canceled European tour and a full revision of his plans.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Your vote counts so little in today's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
"My management, friends and family all thought I was crazy at the time," Votolato says in a phone interview.
To right the ship, he not only rerecorded "Television" at home, but brought that concerned family aboard. Brothers Cody and Sonny played second guitar and bass, respectively; his wife, April, made the cover art. A wildly successful Kickstarter campaign — with original paintings by son Kienan among rewards for supporters — financed the release.
"A family affair, all-around," Votolato says proudly. "I like opening the liner notes and seeing all our names listed there."
With 10 tracks at just over half-an-hour, "Television" doesn't drift.
"I focus a lot on being concise," says the 35-year-old musician.
There's a disarming softness to songs like "Little Spring," with its multitracked vocal and Simon-and-Garfunkel-like descending chord progression. "Sunlight" is a pastoral country hymn with harmonica and slide-guitar adornments.
Though he's dialed down the volume, Votolato's punk upbringing remains an influence. In a nod to years playing house shows as a member of Waxwing, he still tests the waters on new material in fans' living rooms.
These excursions, Votolato says with a laugh, "are a bit different than the ones I did when I was younger, in punk basements," but the artist-audience connection is similar.
"It's immediate and intimate, the way acoustic music is meant to be experienced," he says.

Student Celebration 2016
Western Libraries Celebrates its Student Employees
Student staff have always been an essential part of Western Libraries. When Wilson Library's namesake and Western's first librarian Mabel Zoe Wilson first began working at Western, she was the only full time library employee for 10 years, and all additional library staffing needs were met by student employees. Today, Western Libraries has over 60 full time staff members, but during this past academic year, we also employed 112 students.
Every year, Western Libraries chooses one student employee from among the graduating seniors who has distinguished themselves from their peers by demonstrating unusual imagination, interest, and capability in providing outstanding service. This year's Mabel Zoe Excellence in Student Service Award was presented to Simon Bakke in recognition of the number of ways he has provided outstanding service tot he Libraries, both as a Learning Commons Liaison and as the Libraries' Graphic Artist.
Miriam Snow Mathes, a professor of library science at Western, established an endowment in 1998 to fund both the Western Libraries annual student recognition event and also the Mabel Zoe Wilson Excellence in Student Service Award. The first Western Libraries Student Celebration was held in 1999, and theyhave been held annually every spring since then.

Houston, TX (AP) - A Norwegian maritime company that surveys and
approves safety programs for vessels recertified papers for the
Deepwater Horizon on April 21, a day after the rig blew up in the
Gulf of Mexico.
The blast killed 11 people and led to 200 million gallons of oil
spewing from BP PLC's deep-sea well.
Transocean's safety manager Jerry Canducci testified Thursday at
a federal panel investigating the cause of the explosion. Canducci
says Det Norske Veritas spent two days in the company's offices and
recertified the papers on April 21, while the rig was still burning
in the Gulf.
It is unclear why the Norwegian company recertified the rig's
paperwork after the explosion.
Transocean had leased the rig to BP, which was the majority
owner of the well when it blew up.

ASYLUM? NO, THIS IS BEDLAM; This Week It Was Revealed an Afghan Atheist Won Asylum in Britain on Religious Grounds. in Fact, Says SUE REID, That's One of the Saner Claims
Byline: Sue Reid
HERE'S a puzzle: can you guess which of these three claims was put forward to a judge by an asylum seeker hoping to stay in Britain?
'I killed a snake at home in Nigeria and because it's worshipped as sacred, I'll be killed if I return'; 'I eat beef, so I'll be a target of religious bigotry if I go back to India'; 'I face persecution as a Catholic in China -- even though I can't spell "Jesus".' In fact, you guessed it, all three have featured as arguments for foreigners to stay here indefinitely.
This week it emerged that a young Afghan has won his fight to stay in Britain on religious grounds, despite the fact that he's a selfprofessed atheist.
He argued that apostasy -- or abandoning the Islamic faith -- is punishable with the death penalty under Afghan law. Sadly, he is almost certainly correct.
But whatever sympathy one might have for this young migrant, his tale shines a light once more on our asylum courts, which cost millions of pounds a year to run.
Yesterday, it was reported that the number of pending asylum cases has risen by 23 per cent in a year to the highest level since the coalition government was formed in 2010.
Every week, around 1,500 asylum seekers attempt -- with the help of their immigration lawyers -- to convince judges they should be allowed to stay.
On the opposite side are teams of battleweary Home Office lawyers who've heard every one of the migrants' stories before. Meanwhile, armies of interpreters, earning PS200 a day -- funded by the taxpayer, naturally -- and versed in tongues ranging from Pidgin English (spoken in remote areas of Africa and New Guinea) to Korean and Farsi, are on parade, too.
And overseeing the jamboree are the judges, a well-meaning brigade restrained by the political correctness pervading the asylum system, and faced with Human Rights laws which prevent the expulsion of any migrant with a half-believable tale of persecution or loss of their family life.
Asylum is protection given by Britain to foreigners fleeing here to escape persecution in their own countries.
It's granted under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which was established by the international community in response to the plight of Holocaust victims and others displaced from central and eastern Europe as a result of World War II.
But over the years such a well-meaning ideal has increasingly been exploited by some who seek a new life in Britain without true justification for being here.
Of course many asylum seekers tell the truth, in which case Britain has a duty to offer them shelter. Equally, some of the less credible stories put before the asylum judges may be backed up with other, more substantial arguments.
The problem is that those who are dishonest muddy the waters so much that it's increasingly hard to tell the genuine cases from those who seek to abuse the system.
THE most recent figures show that 42 per cent of the asylum seekers win their cases at a first hearing or subsequent appeal. But the majority of those who have asylum refused do not leave the country anyway, according to the Home Office.
I have spent days at the asylum courts and watched numerous asylum seekers, such as those Chinese Catholics who couldn't spell 'Jesus'.
I have seen Pakistanis who say they've been spotted indulging in homosexual acts on rooftops in Karachi by mullahs -- behaviour which will earn them imprisonment or worse if they have to go home.
It is a story that resulted in a successful asylum claim a decade ago that is now repeated by others from Islamic nations.
They may well be telling the truth. But the more men who offer the same story, the harder it is to believe they are all genuine.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of other cases that stretch credence.
One woman from Nigeria came to Britain and overstayed her visa. …

Europe Travel Guide: 718,638 reviews and 1,959,110 photos
George Square at Christmas. This is the best time to come to Glasgow as it is all bright and colourful in George Square. There is a also a skating rink set up at Christmas it costs 3 pounds to get in for 1 hour.
I was in George Square with my friend last year. We went skating...it was a bit wet but it was really good!
This is Buchanan Street. It has lots of shops and cafes. Some of the shops are called :
~ Borders Bookshop
~ Habitat (furniture store)
~ Foot Locker
I was here just before i left Scotland to come to Australia. The shops are great! I would recommend to have 2 days at the shops while visiting Glasgow.
Shopping centres/ streets to cover:
~ Buchanan Galleries
~ Arygle Street
~ Sauchalle Street
- Pros:People are helpful and friendly, excellent choice of shops to choose from, George Square in Winter and Summer
- Cons:Rains a lot, have a jacket ready
- In a nutshell:MORE THAN JUST BAGPIPES AND HAGGIS!!

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — A fire Sunday has destroyed a century-old house on Bainbridge Island and sent one man to the hospital.
Smoke from the morning blaze was visible across Puget Sound in Seattle.
The Kitsap Sun reports (http://bit.ly/zW8gtZ) that two people staying in the house were able to escape the fire. No significant damage was reported at a neighboring guest house on the property, where three others were staying.
One man suffered smoke inhalation and was flown to Harborview Medical Center.
The fire was reported at 6:15 a.m. and was largely extinguished by 8 a.m.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
Blanca, 53 years old, is a peasant who lives on the Miel path, located in the municipality of Ceja, Colombia. Her great passion is for nature, especially flowers. They motivate her to grow a garden at her home, cultivate and sell a large variety of plants. In her view, this activity has allowed her to improve her quality of life and give her two children an education.
Her greatest dream is to be able to set up a sales stand in her town because this would help her increase her sales. For now, it is clear that this would be a project for the medium term, and she is focused on buying a stand and supplies with which she will improve and expand her production. For this, she is requesting a loan because she does not have the resources for this investment.
Her wish is that people would take ownership of their surroundings and learn to look at nature as the most important element for the growth of life on the planet.

Por ahora tiene claro que este será un proyecto a mediano plazo y se enfoca en la compra de una estacionaria e insumos con los que mejorará y aumentará su producción, para esto se encuentra solicitando un crédito, ya que no cuenta con los recursos para dicha inversión.

Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

Having broken ratings records and scooped up awards with Kevin Costner's "Hatfields & McCoys" last year, the History channel has greenlit another historical miniseries centered around a movie star. Adrien Brody will play the famous magician and escape artist of the title in "Houdini," a four-house scripted miniseries that will look at Harry Houdini's life from impoverished beginnings to global fame. The miniseries, which is being co-produced by Lionsgate and A+E Studios, will co-star Kristen Connolly ("House of Cards," "Cabin in the Woods") as Houdini's wife Bess.
"It's not magic that HISTORY has established a strong track record with its high-quality historical dramas from quality auspices," said History's Dirk Hoogstra in the announcement. "We're excited to build on that tremendous momentum with 'Houdini.' The Great Harry Houdini is a fascinating man in history and I have no doubt that Adrien Brody will bring the magician's riveting story to life for our audience." "Since my childhood, when I dreamed of being a great magician, Harry Houdini has been one of my heroes," Brody added. "His bravery and obsessive determination still fascinate me. Houdini mastered the art of escape -- not only from physical chains, but from poverty and the social constraints of a humble immigrant origin. His life story appeals to the universal longing for acceptance with which we all can identify. To portray him is beyond an honor."
"Houdini" is being written by Nicholas Meyer ("The Seven-Per-Cent Solution") and directed by Uli Edel ("The Baader Meinhof Complex"). Gerald W. Abrams and Andras Hamori will serve as executive producers. The series will start production in the fall, and does not yet have a premiere date.
Guy Pearce most recently played Houdini in film, in Gillian Armstrong's 2007 "Death Defying Acts." Brody's no stranger to playing historical figures himself -- aside from the role as Wladyslaw Szpilman that won him an Oscar in "The Pianist," in the past few years he's managed to play Salvador Dalí ("Midnight in Paris"), Leonard Chess ("Cadillac Records") and Manolete ("A Matador's Mistress").

It's been a while since we've run a post dedicated to travel videos, so we decided to have another quick scour of the web to see what we could find.
Kicking things off in the Big Apple, we think this is the best New York timelapse video we've seen yet – completely mesmerising and deserves to be viewed full screen. Next up is Havana, with a tenderly observed take on daily life, and then to Sydney for a look at the spectacular light projections on the Sydney Opera House sails as part of this year's Vivid Sydney festival. The sheer scale of Los Angeles is brought to life in our next video, and Hong Kong's colour and diversity is also given the timelapse treatment in our final choice...

Legal Services Corporation Act - Establishes in the District of Columbia a private nonmembership nonprofit corporation to be known as the "Legal Services Corporation," for the purpose of providing financial support for legal assistance in noncriminal matters to persons financially unable to afford legal assistance.
States that the corporation shall have a board of directors consisting of eleven voting members appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, no more than six of whom shall be of the same political party.

RX100 autofocus area
If I set the autofocus menu to 'Centre' will the camera override this for face detection?
Also - what logic does the camera use to choose an area to focus - found it very hard to get the camera to choose the middle of a flower rather than random petals.

i just bought a miyata sport 10 in pretty decent condition. i bought it slightly impulsively as i need a bike for the moment. someone one CL offered me this centurion cavaletto for $260 with new shifter & brake cables and housings, saddle, bar wrap, tires , and new inner tubes. im wondering if it is any better than the miyata or around the same quality? it seems slightly better condition than the miyata and it definitely is more aesthetically appealing... all i know is that its a low end model from the 80s. im not sure if its any lighter.
opinions please?

I think this could be a really great way to recycle discarded BMX frames and make nice little commuters that can go on the train or in the trunk of a car.
Also a great way to experiment before going ahead and investing in a smoothound, bianci, or quoroz freedomwon (man I like that bike!)
The major challenge I think is sourcing the super long seat posts and making sure they dont break.
If you have made a mini-velo like this in any config. pls post your picks and share your advice!
I know there was an earlier thread sort of about this, I really think this has potential!

This is my first post, but this question has racked my brain and Google's servers all night, so I thought I would pose the question here.
Let me get started on the preliminaries of my problem so I can elaborate the issue. I know FLVPlayback is buggy but this seems like either a version problem or I might be in need of an update.
I currently monitor the VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE event. When I first play a video with FLVPlayback by setting its .source property the VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE event fires in this order:
This is exactly what I need, however if I 'load a new video' by yet again setting the .source property the VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE event fires in this order:
Which, incidentally, throws my event system out of wack, due to the video successfully playing while the last event fired is buffering. This causes my event tracking to be in an incorrect state.
I do handle the VideoEvent.READY event to run these methods on the FLVPlayback object:
Am I doing something wrong in the order that I am calling the methods, or am I omitting a step in closing (which I've tired by getting the VideoPlayer.close() method) or disposing of something in the FLVPlayback object?
Any help or tips/direction pointing would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

What's your favorite way to outsmart a cold?
34 comments
Homemade Chicken Soup is very
Homemade Chicken Soup is very good but eating 2 yogurts seem to knock the germs out of my body quickly.
Fresh chicken and vegetable
Fresh chicken and vegetable soup plus yogurt and green tea help you get rid of the cold in three days, of course with plenty of water.... I live in Mexico, and we use it always.....
Wash hands frequently, put
Wash hands frequently, put band aids on cuts and hangnails, and wear a hoody at night to keep off drafts. Oh, and keep hands off face and mouth, especially in public.
I plop an Airborne fizzy tab
I plop an Airborne fizzy tab once a day if I'm feeling good, 2-3x a day if I'm starting to feel crappy.
All of these people that are telling us what or what not to do: Our bodies are amazing, incredible things. But I also firmly believe that each body is different, and different things work for different people. Someone may be able to pop a couple of zinc tabs and be okay if they feel a cold coming on. Someone else might not have any help from zinc, but will feel the benefit of drinking green tea. And that's okay. I don't believe that anything is wrong or right. It's just what works for some and not others. AND THAT IS OKAY! :)
I use a garlic broth made
I use a garlic broth made with several cloves of garlic crushed and steeped in hot water.
I make a garlic onion soup
I make a garlic onion soup with chicken broth and also use a lemon honey hot water with some ceyenne pepper for a sore throat. It'll kill whatever's ailing you.
I actually combine A,B, and
I actually combine A,B, and C, and of course the chicken soup is homemade with fresh veggies and natural antibiotics such as, ginger, garlic and onions.......Yum!
I think the remedy i was used
I think the remedy i was used to right from my granny is that of the chicken soup though in modern days people tends to go for the quicker way which constiutute the vitamins but its not bad.
Vitamin C, I believe is the
Vitamin C, I believe is the best way to fight a cold. You can't overdose on it and it helps give you more and stronger white blood cells in your army in the war against germs :-)
I use eWater to support
I use eWater to support keeping my body alkaline and Kan Herbals Initial Defense as another immune system support. This will usually keep me from coming down with a cold/flu or keep the symptoms to a minimum if I do get a cold/flu.
All of the above. I load up
All of the above. I load up on extra vit C, bone broth, echinacea, and elderberry. extra sleep and liquids help too.
I wash my hands or use hand
I wash my hands or use hand sanitizer constantly whenever I've been out in public
I practice Traditional
I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine here in Manhattan. I help my patients stave off the common cold by boosting their immune systems before the cold weather onslaught with weekly treatments. If a patient starts to feel 'a cold coming on', the combination of acupuncture and herbal pills just nips it in the butt before the damage is done!

I always make honey lemon
I always make honey lemon drink for to fight cold instead of medicine and the kids love it.
I love a large bowl of egg
I love a large bowl of egg drop soup. It's hot and good if deilivery is fast. I feel so much better after. When a member of my family is down I make homemade chicken soup. They eat every drop, feel and sleep better.
These dont fight off the flu-
These dont fight off the flu- You wouldn't be getting it AT ALL if you ate all the fruits and veggies you needed in the first place! No supplements for me...
I do all of these things. I
I do all of these things. I take the vitamins and probiotics daily and drink green tea often. If a cold does start to come on, I take Sambucol and eat chicken soup and usually have good luck at relieving symptoms.
I juice daily: 1 orange 1

1 orange

Only 1 cold since!
I was nineteen years old and
I was nineteen years old and considered myself an ordinary Seaman. I joined the Netherlands Whaling.co. Our Factory ship was the "WILLEM BARENDZ" registered in Holland. Approaching the fore part of the Catcher I was on, AM4, I felt so alone and ponderred the question as to "What in the world made me to come to the Antarctic. I also thought, WOW! I am a whalerman now. It was then that it happened.A wave crossed the bow of the Catcher, I had not been aware while I was daydreaming, that the ship had plunged into the crevice of an enormous wave approximately 30-40 ft. It hit me square in the face. I lost conciousness and when I awoke I was holding on the cable that secured the lifeboat with a bottleneck screw. Cold was not the word. I ended up on the factory ship stiff as could be, spent a week there,with no improvement. I said to myself if I should die, let it be from the catcher.. George Johnson AB remarked on my return to the catcher, lets give you some home remedies johnny, and we did. "Aspro: was the Asprin in those days and with the juice of two lemons from the Hollander cook and two aspro's ,I was told to sweat it out under the blankets. The next morning after all the sweat, I never felt better and resumed my duties. I still use the remedy but with any pain killer. Wanna try it?
A continuous regiment of Good
A continuous regiment of Good vitamins and supplements is the key to not even getting a cold. Do the research when selecting vitamins, there are many out there that are not what they say on the label and cheap vitamins are a waste of money (because they mostly contain fillers, that's why they're cheap). Look for the brands like Young Living, Nutrilite (from Amway) or Juice Plus.
There's positive research on how probiotics can boost the immune system but don't be fooled by the sugar filled yogurts or sugar-free yogurts (which is worse). Look for Kefir instead or take a probiotic supplement.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Deaf students will get their own spelling bee next week in Illinois.
The Statewide Dead Finger-Spelling Bee will be held at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield.
The bee is in its 13th year. It's an effort to let students with hearing disabilities participate in educational activities similar to their peers who hear.
It's patterned after the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee, but is modified for sign language.

I recently took my 2006 S60 in for an oil change. They told me that I needed to have my drivers side front hub replaced. It has been making noise, but only appeared after I had my tires rotated. The cost-almost $400. Does this sound right??

Jaime Herrera Beutler's election to the 3rd Congressional District seat last November opened the door to federal jobs for several local Republicans.
• Ryan Hart resigned his post as chairman of the Clark County Republican Party, a post he had held from 2008 to 2010, to become Herrera Beutler's district director in Vancouver, where he oversees a staff that responds to the concerns of constituents.
• Shari Hildreth of Washougal, who served for 12 years as the Southwest Washington deputy director to former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, is Hart's deputy district director.
• Keith Bundy of Ridgefield, who served as Herrera Beutler's legislative aide in Olympia during the three years she represented the 18th Legislative District, also serves as a deputy director in her Vancouver office.
• Afton Swift, Herrera Beutler's chief of staff in Washington, D.C., is a native of Idaho who has worked in the nation's Capitol since 1997. He previously served on the staffs of three Republican congressmen, including two from Washington — Rep. Doc Hastings and former Rep. Jack Metcalf. Swift managed Republican Dino Rossi's 2004 and 2008 campaigns for governor and served as a consultant to Herrera Beutler's congressional campaign in 2010.
• Annie Raymond Bartlett, Herrera Beutler's legislative director in Washington, D.C., is a Capitol Hill veteran who has served on the staffs of Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin and former Rep. Porter Goss of Florida. Bartlett also worked for the National Association of Home Builders, handling environmental and transportation issues and coordinating with state homebuilder associations in 10 states, including Washington and Oregon.
• Casey Bowman, Herrera Beutler's press secretary, served as her campaign spokesman in 2010 and as spokesman for the Rossi campaigns in 2004 and 2008.

Previous stops on the promotional tour for Pete Carroll's new book, "Win Forever," turned into grillings about USC sanctions, but on his final stop the tone of a Seattle crowd was different. Now, finally, the Seahawks coach can turn to training camp.
The book is titled "Win Forever," and Pete Carroll's promotional tour didn't last quite that long. At times, though, it may have seemed like it.
It spanned two weeks from its start in New York and will conclude Saturday with a signing at the Ballard QFC at noon.
The whole thing took place in the shadow of NCAA sanctions levied against USC last month, which turned the past two weeks into a media gauntlet. At times the whole thing resembled a Whack-a-Mole game, the one where you take a hammer to plastic rodents that rear their heads.
Carroll pops up in New York — whack! — he's prodded into repeating that he feels oh so awful that this has happened. He spends the day at ESPN's headquarters in Connecticut — boom! — he's asked about a car, house and cash that Reggie Bush supposedly received.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Gregg Doyel of CBS Sportsline called him shameless. Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports compared him to Jeff Spicoli, Sean Penn's character from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
Sitting ducks aren't as easy a target as Carroll, whose book release and promotional tour couldn't have been timed more poorly.
It wasn't planned that way. The book was darn near done before he took the Seahawks job in January and was shipped off to the printers by the spring. That fact alone might be Carroll's best piece of evidence that when he left USC, he had no inkling of the severity of the sanctions that would be hurled at the Trojans' chin. After all, if he knew the NCAA was about to show up and ground the Trojans, suspend their driving privileges and send them to bed without any supper, he probably would have planned to wait on releasing that book about the secrets to his success.
There was no turning back once the book was published, though, not with all proceeds to benefit his charity, A Better L.A. The result was a promotional tour that appeared tone deaf at best or aloof and willfully ignorant at worst.
But something else also became clear. The crowds of fans drawn to Carroll weren't nearly so critical of Carroll or his intentions.
Carroll made a lunch appearance Friday sponsored by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at the Westin Hotel. In front of a crowd of about 150, he spoke about his goals in the book and answered 11 questions. Not one of them dealt with the sanctions or the NCAA.
The temperature of a crowd that paid to hear Carroll talk about his book is hardly a scientific measure of public opinion. But it does show that at this point and in this town, the public isn't that interested in another recitation of Carroll's appraisal of the sanctions.
Those questions have been asked and answered. Repeatedly.
So if two weeks of promoting the book did nothing else, it closed that chapter.
Now he returns to the NFL, what he called on Friday "the challenge of a competitor's lifetime." His book begins with the epiphany he experienced in the months after he was fired by the New England Patriots. It began while he was reading a book by John Wooden that prompted him to refine the philosophy that he now sees as the backbone to his success at USC.
In that way, his book is a 223-page prologue to his return to the NFL with the Seahawks. That begins in earnest next Saturday, when his new team begins training camp.

Course DescriptionIs there intelligent life on other planets?Have we been visited by aliens here on earth?Are they walking amongst us?What are the explanations for the saucers in the sky?To date, no one has, or is willing, to give final proof or solid answers to any of these questions. The purpose behind this course is to help you keep your mind and eyes open. The big question is if there really is intelligent life out there, where is it? And what kind of evidence do we have today to prove it? With so many of the planets in our solar system seemingly too hot or cold, or proven to have no life of any type, our hope appears to be in other parts of the universe.The Center for UFO Studies categorizes contacts as "close encounters" of the first, second or third kind: First encounters are objects or unexplained lights in space; second encounters are marked by the UFO having a type of physical effect on the Earth such as radioactivity or burn marks; and third encounters are reports of interactions between the witnesses and crew of an alien spaceship--often this relates to stories of "alien abductions".Evidence that would convince most scientists of visitors from the sky is lacking, although there are stories about visual things in the sky since ancient times, and the idea still has appeal. There are fantastic stories--and yes, even some imaginative hoaxes! And there is even some compelling evidence to give credibility about the rumors the U.S. government actually possesses a crashed alien spaceship and alien bodies. Take this course and with the information provided, you'll be able to decide for yourself if there is a real phenomenon at work that warrants more scientific investigation; or perhaps you'll come to the conclusion that we are simply alone and unique in the universe.The actual sightings of UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and interest in the paranormal are at an all time high. An insurmountable amount of evidence is available from many resources including eye witness accounts, photographs, paranormal studies, and pilots and aviation experts.The goal of this online course is to study some of these UFO phenomena around the world, present UFO Case Studies as accurately as possible, and encourage students to contemplate the idea that we have been visited from another planet by intelligent life.The course provides documented material, videos and netlinks. The instructor will be reviewing your assignments and is available for questions. Take this course and with the information provided, you'll be able to decide for yourself if there is a real phenomenon at work that warrants more scientific investigation by people willing to share their information with the public.

Development, implementation, and
effectiveness of the CBD process
Thomas Yongo
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, June 1992, was a unique event in the annals of international affairs and international environmental law. The "Earth Summit" brought more heads of states and governments together than any previous meeting. 1 Thirty years after the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962), the "morning star of environmentalism," 2 20 years after the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm Conference) 3 and five years after the Brundtland Report, 4 the Earth Summit was billed as a landmark in the process which forced politicians, policy makers, and civil society to reflect on the linkages between the twin crises of development and the environment.
The 20 years separating the Stockholm and Rio Conferences witnessed the emergence of a new generation of environmental problems, including climate change, ozone depletion, and the destruction of biological diversity. The purpose of the Rio Conference was to elaborate strategies and measures to halt and reverse environmental degradation in the context of strengthened national and international efforts to promote sustainable and environmentally sound development in all countries. The UNCED process, therefore, acted as a catalyst and focus for injecting and formulating concepts of sustainable development around the world. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 5 was one of the two most

Have you seen the new Nike ad yet?
Seriously, WTF? Earl Woods died in 2006, and probably had no idea that his son would go on to be the world's greatest philanderer. So this whole voice from beyond the grave treatment is just a bit too much to take. "I want to find out what your thinking was," Earl says, as if eluding to the dozens of women Woods shagged behind his wife's back. Let me tell you Earl, if you can hear me: Your son wanted to screw a stadium full of porn stars. That was his thinking. "And did you learn anything," what about that, Tiger? Given your extensive research on how to be a complete and utter asshole to your wife and kids, what insight have you gained?
To be clear, I've long ago tired of the Woods saga, and feel a bit of relief that the guy will just get back on the golf course this week at The Masters. But for Nike to put forth this ad at this moment in the history of Tiger Woods' life, that Woods agreed to let this abomination be made, well, it's staggering. Are we, the audience supposed to go rush out and buy Nike product after watching this? Are we supposed to identify with the self-described inquisitive Earl Woods, whose ghostly figure now gazes at his only child and wonders, "Hey, son, what's new in your world?"
Yes, hand it to Nike, they and their star certainly are promoting discussion. Maybe that was the plan all along. A boardroom marketing strategy dreamed up to educate America on the wrongs of marital infidelity, of which Woods Sr. was also said to have practiced while on this mortal coil. So, yes, let's talk about it. What better way to start than by using a dead guy to do all the talking while the guy whose actions brought us to this point keeps his lips shut tight as he basks in the redemptive spirit of his late father.
See, Nike, with an assist from Earl, have absolved Tiger Woods. So let's all get back to making gobs of money. Swoooooosh!
