LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Bieber paparazzo has been killed, chasing the wrong singer. Justin Bieber paparazzo Chris Guerra has was killed overnight pursuing Bieber's white Ferrari. The car, which has black windows, was being pursued by Guerra, believing that Bieber was inside. Rather, Lil Twist was in the car.
The latest Bieber paparazzo trouble erupted overnight in Los Angeles. Several weeks ago, Bieber was spotted leaving Selena Gomez's home in the same white Ferrari. A video at the time showed Bieber burning rubber exiting with the Ferrari from Gomez's home.
But overnight, Bieber's Ferrari was being pursued on the 405 Freeway. The Ferrari was pulled over by CHP for speeding in the Brentwood part of Los Angeles. CHP effectuated the traffic stop on Sepulveda.
Chris Guerra had been assigned to follow Bieber by a local paparazzi agency, claims news. During the traffic ticket, Guerra attempted to get a picture of Bieber receiving a speeding ticket.
But according to news reports, Guerra was allegedly ordered away from the car. He was struck allegedly running into traffic on Sepulveda Boulevard. TMZ reports that the Bieber wasn't driving the car but rather Lil Twist.
Last night, one fan tweeted to Lil Twist "bet you and Justin had a crazy time last night". He replied "I wouldn't even bet you." On New Years Eve, Lil Twist tweeted the following image, writing "wild kids". The image features him and Bieber in Mexico drinking champagne.

The 109F4 is getting nerfed hard in the speed departement It's 30km/h slower at low alt.
G2 will be 20km/h slower than right now on low alt.
G6 will be about 10km/h faster at low alt.
G10 will be about 13km/h slower than currently at low alt.
K4 will be about 28km/h slower at low alt than currently.
So all in all there will only be one german prop plane faster than a British Tempest and that is the D13 Dora (maybe the D12 aswell)
The Typhoons will catch All Bf109's exept for the K4 version.
The Spitfire mk9 will catch a 109F4
the P51-D is now faster than all BF109's even at low alt compared to only high alt like before.
Also the Kingcobra will be faster than all BF109's exept for the K4.
Well I guess German players will have to learn how to pull defensive manuvers since simply outrunning the allies wont work anymore.
Atleast my new favorite plane was not touched the FW190 A-5 which suits me nicely.
"note these numbers are only estimated and might not be entirely correct it is simply what the new FM list says compared to jjonas in-game flight testing"

New Data Fuels Atkins Meltdown
"Only a minority of successful weight losers consume low-carbohydrate diets." That's the conclusion of the Brown Medical School study presented by Suzanne Phelan to the recent meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity. Low-carb and low-fat diets went head-to-head in the 2,700 subject survey aimed at finding out which regimen delivers longer-lasting results.
While neither diet had an edge with regard to initial weight loss, low-fat was the clear winner for long-term losers. These findings are certain to fuel the backlash against low-carb diets. According to a recent poll by the market research firm InsightExpress, more than half of Americans who have tried an Atkins-style diet have given up.
Lasting weight loss is only one of a myriad of reasons to opt for low-fat and eschew low-carb. Decades of research link saturated and trans-fat consumption with raised cholesterol levels and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, low-fat diets can lower the risk of several types of cancer, including gastrointestinal, respiratory and reproductive. Since obesity increases your vulnerability to such ailments, low-fat diets offer a double dividend.

This question is related to Daniel Fischer's answer here. Suppose $f$ is a real $C^{1}$ function on $[0, 1]$ such that $f(0) = 0$ and $\int_{0}^{1}f'(x)^{2}\, dx \leq 1$. Then (essentially by Cauchy-Schwarz), we have $\left|\int_{0}^{1}f(x)\, dx\right| \leq 2/3$ as Daniel Fischer stated in his answer.
My question is: Is there an example of a function such that we have equality in $\left|\int_{0}^{1}f(x)\, dx\right| \leq 2/3$? I was thinking of maybe a smoothed version of a function which takes the value $0$ on $[0, 1/2)$ and $4/3$ on $(1/2, 1]$ but that seems complicated to construct, moreover, the derivative in some neighbourhood of $1/2$ might be hard to control.

The Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department has in a letter mailed out to attorneys, amended its rules to preclude any attorney from being a law guardian for children who has full-time employment by any governmental agency unless he or she gets the express written permission of the employer, Family Court and Appellate Division, Office of Attorneys for Children.
The letter went on to state that "Any attorney who has full-time employment with any governmental agency cannot be assigned or accept assignment in any court as an attorney for the child without the express written permission of those three entities."
The letter also stated that "For any current panel members who are employed full time by any governmental agency and also have pending attorney for the child assignments, that attorney must either obtain permission to continue that assignment as indicated above or have the matter reassigned to another panel member who is eligible to accept such an assignment, on or before the effective date of the order. Absent authorized permission, such an attorney is no longer eligible for panel membership."
The purpose of the prohibition is to prevent conflict of interest.

Week 4 of Women's Healthy Living Class
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Wow, I can't believe that after tonight my women's healthy living class will be half over. Where does time go?!?! It's been a great class. I have met a lot of new women (in a church of 1200, it can be hard to meet new women if you don't purposely go out to do so! It's easy to just "hang" with the same people, reaching out takes a little more work- but so worth it!)
Last week I brought in several examples of foods that I use at home (I had two bags of the reusable grocery bags full of boxes/bags of items that I had used up, been saving them for a while for this purpose). That was a lot of fun, a lot of the women had either never heard of the items or didn't know what part of the grocery store to buy them in. We also talked about how to read a food label (so important, many people forget to look at the amount of "servings" in a package and may mistake it for single serving when it may actually be two-three servings!)
Tonight's topics are exercise, water, and the importance of sleep/rest. I told all of the women to wear comfy clothes (or workout clothes) tonight since we will be going through a few exercises. I have a home workout routine for them that they can do anywhere, either with just their body weight or they can add dumbbells. I am going to watch them women do the moves after I show them how to make sure that everyone is doing them correctly so that they don't hurt themselves when they do them at home! It should be a lot of fun. I think that I will also bring the music from my Turbo class that I taught this past summer and we will do the warm up and cool down from that. (Won't be able to do the whole workout due to not having enough space in our room- there are 30 women! It's a bit crowded so I don't want someone to accidentally kick or punch someone, lol!) For the water and sleep part, I used a lot of information for Don Colbert's book "Seven Pillars of Health." Our book that we are using for class is Joyce Meyer's "Look Great, Feel Great," but I like to add a little "extra" to the classes. Joyce's book is amazing, though! I have read through it at least three times now and really enjoy it!

Sounds like a great class Erin. I am taking notes so that I can use some of these ideas at my TOPS meeting. What type of exercises did you have them do?
You are such a motivator. Those women are blessed. Have a great day friend.

The Whitefish Bay girls basketball team played "well enough to win" according to coach Greg Capper in their 44-24 playoff victory over Shorewood.
"A number of times this season I've said that we played well enough to win," he said. "Tonight we played well enough to win."
Shorewood had issues breaking through the Blue Dukes' defense and scored just five points in both quarters of the first half and seven points in each quarter of the second half.
"This team is so good on defense," said Shorewood coach Jeff Eimers. "We have trouble with good defensive teams and we have trouble scoring. We'd have to start hitting our threes and we couldn't tonight."
"I think we did a good job defensively in the first half," Capper agreed. "We also found enough openings to get some shots."
The Blue Dukes seemed dominant during the first quarter and made it 7-2 on a free throw from Maya Jonas who moments before had intercepted a pass from Shorewood's Robbie Holland and was fouled on the layup attempt.
A three-pointer from Elisabeth Johnston made it 10-2. Johnston, who scored 11 points for the Dukes, had also been responsible in setting up several of their early baskets.
"We move the ball around a lot on offense," she said. "It took us a while to get into it, but we ended up getting the feel of things. We should have been able to get it going a little faster, and I feel like we didn't come out to play the best that we could."
With mere seconds left in the first quarter an errant pass to Maddy Garcia went beyond half-court, where Shorewood's Abby Pech collected it. Her layup attempt was blocked out of bounds, but Holland nailed a three-pointer off the inbound to bring the score back to 10-5 and perhaps give her team some momentum going into the second quarter.
The real last-second shot came a second later, however. Garcia got off a shot from beyond half court just before the buzzer sounded and hit nothing but net.
"We got it down to 10-5 and then they throw up a prayer that quite honestly I didn't think had a chance to go in, and that thing went in, so that makes it 13-5," Eimers said. "Any momentum we had was just killed right there. They're a very good team and I wish them well going forward."
"I think that was one of a number of things that maybe helped us," said Capper. "It's always fun to watch those go in and it gets the crowd and the players excited."
Between the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth, Shorewood did have a seve- point run, getting baskets from Grace Hayes, Bella Nassif, and Maura Curtis to cut the Dukes' lead to 36-20. The Dukes outscored the Greyhounds 8-4 the rest of the way.
Johnston and Jonas both scored 11 points for the Dukes, while Hayes led the Greyhounds with five points.
"We just know that we can't take any game for granted and we have to play the best that we can every time," said Johnston.

Station in a Suitcase
Image by OpalMirror
On Sunday, Marty W7MSO brought his suitcase station. It includes a Windows laptop, IC-7000 all-mode all-band transceiver, AT-7000 automatic tuner (under the deck), TNC for packet radio, and various power hookups. Here he is operating it.
Marty also demoed the Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS) (not pictured here), which shows live amateur radio information plotted on a map… positions, speeds, altitudes, temperatures, schedules, and other information. One fun example of this was a ham flying an airplane, northbound near Corvallis. Another example was that I saw Mike N7QXH was up hiking near Pechuck lookout, and it reported his exact position and altitude. It looked like he was probably at the summit. Since I know I can usually talk to him on the KD7DNM repeater on Goat Mountain I called and talked to him until my handheld radio's battery gave out.

nice portable station !
CT1GFQ, I would have gone for a yummy IC-7000 over my IC-718 + IC-2200H if only I could have found another $800.00 or so. I ain't complaining, they are all fine rigs. What Marty has done here is really sweet and portable, perfect application for a nice all-band all-mode transceiver!

A new iPad app shows you how to cook like an award-winning chef. James Ramsden sees if it works for him
There's a curious paradox in the domestic cook's approach to food: despite the popularity of programmes such as MasterChef and Great British Menu, and veneration of Michelin-starred chefs, home cooking has always been about simplification. Books by René Redzepi of Noma and Ferran Adrià of El Bulli stay on the coffee table, while Jamie's 30-Minute Meals and Nigel Slater's Real Fast Food become dog-eared and grease-splattered. Few people, it seems, want to attempt sous-vide or spherification in the home.
Or do they? A cooking app that goes on sale today aims to give home cooks the opportunity to recreate restaurant-style

People who took a popular class of osteoporosis drugs known as bisphosphonates lived an average of five years longer than those who didn't take them, according to a new study published online in 2011 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
"It certainly was an unexpected finding," says study author Jackie Center, PhD, an associate professor at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia. "We spent a year and a half trying to find a way to explain why this might not be a real finding, but there was nothing we could find that would explain it beyond the treatment."
The Australian researchers analyzed data from 2,000 people in an ongoing osteoporosis study and found 121 women and men who had been taking bisphosphonates like alendronate, or Fosamax, and risedronate, or Actonel, for an average of three years.
Among that group, the death rate among women who were older than 75 when they took bisphosphonates was 69 percent lower than expected.
"We found it really surprising," Dr. Center says.
Researchers say mortality rates are best determined based on 100 person-years. One death per 100 person years means for every 100 people, there would be one death per year. Using that as a measurement, researchers say women on bisphosphonates had a death rate of 0.76 percent per 100 person-years, which was lower than women taking hormone therapy (1.2 percent), women taking calcium and vitamin D (3.18 percent) and women who weren't taking anything at all (3.46 percent).
Results were similar in men, but the number of men studied was smaller, so researchers say they can't be as confident about that finding.
John Eisman, PhD, was another author of the study. He says initially his team thought this reduction in mortality risk could have been due to the fact that people seeking treatment were healthier and taking better care of themselves. "But everything we saw made us think these would be people who would do worse and in fact be more likely to die," he explains.

Wildcats Bowling Remains No. 19 in National Poll
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 02/08/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Bethune-Cookman University bowling team remains ranked No. 19 in the latest National Tenpin Coaches Association Top 20 poll released Friday evening.
The Wildcats hold a season record of 40-41 overall, but have taken to the lanes against at least three nationally-ranked teams in each of their last two tournaments. The Cats took two wins against nationally-ranked Stephen F. Austin and Alabama State, respectively, to end last weekend's Prairie View A&M Invitational.
"I feel like we've struggled all year, but I'm happy to see that we remain among the nation's elite," said B-CU head coach Tony O'Neal.
Central Missouri kept its grip on first place in the January poll of the National Ten Pin Coaches Association. The Jennies garnered 18 of the 26 first-place votes, well ahead of second place Maryland-Eastern Shore, which had four votes for first place. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) member Maryland Eastern Shore maintained the second spot for the second consecutive poll.
Nebraska made an upward move in the new polling, jumping from sixth to third on the strength of team wins at the Mid-Winter and Prairie View events. The Huskers had three first-place votes and was just 23 total poll points behind the Hawks.
The Arkansas State Red Wolves went from seventh in December to fourth after placing third in their Mid-Winter Classic and the Prairie View Invitational. Vanderbilt slipped from third to fifth after a pair of fourth place finishes in January while Wisconsin-Whitewater climbed from ninth to sixth. Fairleigh Dickinson, Sam Houston State, Adelphi and Kutztown round out the Top 10.
B-CU will get back on the lanes again Feb. 15-17 when the Cats travel to the Morgan State Invitational in Perry Hall, Md.

FORT LAUDERDALE–Things ajerseyguy took note of this week: While the rest of the college football world focuses on Monday night's BCS title game between No. 1 Notre Dame and No.2 Alabama, Big East commissioner Mike Aresco is working the back corridors of the BCS world to keep San Diego State as a firm member of the Big East football conference, starting next July.
The Big East is also closing in on a television deal for both football and basketball that will be fair and representative of what Aresco feels will be, at the very least, the 6th best major college football conference next season.
Aresco is been in and out of meetings with ESPN officials in Miami-ESPN is televising the BCS title game-and on speed dial with San Diego State officials as he continues to work on keeping San Diego State on course to maintain their commitment to join the Big East in football only.
Sources familiar with the discussions say that Aresco has been encouraged by his response from not only San Diego State, but from the television networks as well, including ESPN and Fox.
"Things will start to speed up in the next few weeks," said one source at the Big East, who has knowledge of the nature of the discussions."The commitment to the Big East from the Texas schools remains firm and San Diego State has continued to express interest that it would also like to be part of this arrangement, even with Boise State going back to the Mountain West."
The Big East's contention is that an 11 team league, which would include San Diego State, Houston, SMU, Memphis, Tulane, East Carolina, Central Florida, South Florida, Temple, Cincinnati and Connecticut, has wider television appeal than the Mountain West which is more regional in its structure.
If San Diego State maintains its commitment to the Big East, Aresco would then actively pursue a 12th team–probably with a western address as a travel partner for San Diego State. Navy officials have maintained that they remain firm in their commitment to join the Big East in football, starting in 2015.
The Big East maintains that some positive television numbers are starting to flow back towards them in terms of both basketball and football. Combine that with the Big Easts virtually guaranteed a BCS bowl spot in the final year of the current BCS contract in 2013.
Aresco is also encouraged because millions of dollars in exit money that is flowing into the Big East accounts from schools that are leaving such as Louisville, Rutgers, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, TCU and Boise State. Such an arrangement creates a financially healthy conference, which is the best option available outside of the group of five other current BCS conferences.
Aresco has also had to deal with the departure of the Catholic 7 group of schools who want to break away from their football brethren. That group, which includes St. John's, DePaul, Marquette,Villanova, Seton Hall, Georgetown and Providence, met in New York on Friday to discuss their initial strategy in making the break.
Although there have no formal requests made, Aresco feels that the Catholic schools will begin the process by negotiating an early departure date (July 1, 2014).
Since the Catholic 7 will remain part of the Big East next basketball season, Aresco is currently negotiating a television deal in basketball which includes those 7 Catholic schools, as well as Louisville, Rutgers and Notre Dame, all who are scheduled to depart the Big East. If that deal is completed, the Catholic 7 will have another year to get their new league in better financially healthy situation.
Although it is still two years away from becoming official, BCS officials are already honing in on how the new four team playoff format will work, starting in January of 2015. The most workable option would appear to be to have the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl anchored in New Year's Day and New Year's night time slots each year.
When those two bowls are part of the Football Final Four rotation, the semifinals will be played on January 1 and the BCS title game will be played a week later on a Monday night. When the Sugar and Rose are not part of the championship rotation, the two semifinals will be played on New Year's Eve afternoon and evening….The first title game will almost certainly be played in Arlington, Texas and given to the highest bidder each year.
Both Alabama coach Nick Saban and Notre Coach Brian Kelly were asked at Saturday's media day session about the possibility of moving to the NFL. Both professed happiness and loyalty to their present jobs. But until Monday night's game is played between the Irish and the Tide, and until all the NFL openings are actually filled, both Kelly and Saban will see their names on the potential candidate list.

Welcome to the fifth (!) annual SNN Predicts series of articles (sixth overall, if you count the 2004 version done on the forums, lost to the mists of time but notable for the fact that I went 0-4 in series involving the Flames), in which we act like we know what we're talking about and make our (mostly) blindingly obvious predictions, with a shocking amount of success, considering some mainstream reporters usually wind up under .500 by the time the Stanley Cup is finally awarded somewhere around Canada Day. This is also at least my third year in a row copying and pasting the same intro, because I'm cool like that. Some surprise changes in the seeding in the last few days of the season, at least if you decide three days in advance to use SportsClubStats' projections to pregame for this post. What the fuck, Ottawa? Really? Whatever. In other news, congrats to Phoenix for their best-ever playoff seed despite losing their #1 goalie for nothing over the summer (Don Maloney should win the Sam Pollock Memorial Award for GM of the Year That Isn't Technically Named for Trader Sam but Really Should Be, because holy shit that dude can build a hockey team on the budget of your average indie flick), and congrats to Florida for breaking their playoff drought despite being pretty Goddamned terrible. Hooray for the Southleast Division and stuff.
Also note that I'll probably be relying on fancystats way more this year, just because I've had less than zero time to watch teams play, for the most part. I'm grumpy about it, but I'm hoping I can make up for it in the later rounds. [Ed: And I think after citing the fancystats I've ignored them in at least half of the predictions. Oh well.]
Clarence Campbell Conference Quarterfinals
(1) Vancouver vs. (8) Los Angeles
Playoff History: The only recent playoff series went to the Canucks, but back in the days of the Smythe Division, Gretzky's Kings had the upper hand.
Previously On…Survivor: The Canucks went to Game 7 of the Finals before losing to the Bruins. LA, meanwhile, was ousted in the first round on an OT goal by the clutchest man in hockey…Joe Thornton? Really? Wait, lemme see that.
Season Series: Even at two, with one of LA's wins coming in the coin-flip.
Doogie Says: This should be a much closer series than you'd really expect for a 1-8; a lot of the even strength fancystats are either a wash or favour LA, strangely enough (their Fenwick Close is 2% better than Vancouver, and since the deadline, it's #1 with a bullet), while Vancouver owns far and away the better power play. Goaltending will be a factor as always, with all three of Quick, Schneider, and Luongo finishing with similar EV SV% numbers: any one of those three could steal a game and turn the series. (Quick and Luongo also both have histories of…inconsistent play in the postseason.) That being said, I think the deciding factor is going to be the fact that I still don't trust the Kings to be able to put the puck in the ocean with any consistency, Carter be damned. Speaking of, looks like Carter will be back for Game 1 tonight, while Daniel Sedin will not; keep an eye on that to be a thing as this series goes long and becomes ever-tighter. Similarly, the depth players in this series could prove difference-makers in at least one or two games, and in that instance, I'd give the nod to Vancouver. Holding my nose, crossing my fingers, going with Canucks in seven. (Aside: Canucks fans can't even agree on this one.)
Hoop Says: Kings in seven.
Matt Says: Kings in six. Unless something out of the ordinary happens, it's a question of when Vancouver will choke. Let's go with right off the bat.
Gerard Says: Kings in six. Why? Because fuck Vancouver. That's why. [Ed: He's consistent. This is at least the seventh consecutive series he's picked against Vancouver going back to 2010, with a 2-4 record in those series. I'd check earlier, but those archives only exist on Gerard's computer, and I'm not going to harrass him for it at this point.]
(2) St. Louis vs. (7) San Jose
Playoff History: More than I thought there'd be, to be honest. They met three times in the first half of last decade, with the Sharks somehow getting the upper hand in two of them. I mean, seriously, what the hell happened in 2000, St. Louis? You were 27 points and 72 goals better than them!
Previously On…Survivor: St. Louis haven't made the playoffs since 2009, when they got bounced by the Canucks in four straight, and haven't won a playoff series since 2002. The Sharks made the conference finals for the second consecutive year, this time losing to Vancouver in five.
Season Series: St. Louis spanked San Jose, taking all four games in regulation.
Doogie Says: St. Loo owns San Jose (and indeed, most of the NHL) by most metrics out there, traditional and fancystats. Standings points, goal differential, Fenwick Close/Tied, even strength save percentage, shot prevention (even strength and PK)… all of them are in the upper echelon, many of them in the top one to three. San Jose can, however, still boast at least a few more goals for (18 over 82 games), better shot creation (even strength and PP), and a better top end offence (Joe Thornton had 23 points more than David Backes and T.J. Oshie, the two teams' respective scoring leaders). Yes, Brian Elliott – who set the modern NHL record for GAA (1.56) and SV% (.940) – is now out with an upper body injury, but Jaro Halak (1.97/.926, .938 EV SV% compared to Elliott's .945) was no slouch, either. And even if the otherworldly goaltending from both 'keepers regresses (or Jake Allen somehow winds up in net), the Blues are still a balls-out good team at controlling the play: they play a hard, physical game while minding their responsibilities in the way Hitchcock teams always have. They're not a lock for the Stanley Cup or anything, but San Jose is aging, relying on their backup after their Stanley Cup champion goalie couldn't get the job done, and less deep up front than they've been in the past. Also, as a reminder: the Blues dismantled the Sharks in the regular season. This, and Devils-Panthers, seem like the two no-brainers here, but then I've been wrong on stuff like this before (see: MTL-WAS/PIT, 2010). Blues in four.
Hoop Says: Blues in six.
Matt Says: Blues in four. Can San Jose go anywhere this post-season? What am I thinking? Let's go with a repeat of the season series.
Gerard Says: Sharks in four. St. Louis swept the season series. Symmetry.
(3) Phoenix vs. (6) Chicago
Playoff History: Bupkis. The Jets and Hawks were in separate divisions for most of the '80s, and were never decent at the same time in the '90s or '00s. In fact, they frequently missed the playoffs together during the interlockout period.
Previously On…Survivor: Stop me if you've heard this one before: the Coyotes lost to the Red Wings in the first round, and Chicago played Vancouver last year. The difference being, Chicago was an OT giveaway by Chris Campoli away from overcoming an 0-3 deficit, but ultimately bowed out in seven in round one. This is also your annual reminder that the Jets/Coyotes franchise has not won a playoff series since 1987.
Season Series: The Coyotes took three of four, two of them in regulation.
Doogie Says: The problem with trying to use fancystats to call a playoff series is that they're not, in my view, as cut and dried as is sometimes suggested, and this series is the A-1 example of this. Chicago has better possession numbers, but they've had Godawful goaltending (though granted, a bunch of that is on Ray Emery, who's been AHL-quality), while Phoenix has had mediocre possession but excellent goaltending. So call that a wash. Special teams? Both have awful PK by shot metrics, Phoenix is also terrible on the PP, but Chicago is at least mediocre there. Okay, now we're getting somewhere. But then you look at the one-goal-game records, and Phoenix's is wickedly low, suggesting that they may be undervalued a bit in the standings, while Chicago's is pretty consistent with their 2+-goal-game record. And then I throw up my hands and say fuck it, I'm going with my gut here.
It goes something like this. Phoenix nearly beat Detroit in 2010 despite missing Shane Doan for half the series, and probably would've been a lot closer in 2011 if not for Bryz going all flaketastic over the parks in Vinny Peg and what-not. Chicago isn't as deep as they were two years ago, nor as deep as any Detroit team in recent memory. The Hawks are loaded with injuries, most notably captain Toews, and while he may be back for Game 1, there's no guarantee that a) it happens, and b) he's 100%. Plus, the Phoenix organization and its fans really deserve at least one bit of success before they're forced to pack it in, especially with smart stuff like that Vermette trade on their resume. So, for the second year in a row, I'm gonna stick my neck out here and pick the Coyotes in seven. Don't let me down again here, guys.
Hoop Says: Blackhawks in six.
Matt Says: Blackhawks in five. Knowing that one team looked good in the middle and the other seemed better than they should be leaves one with a tough choice…
Gerard Says: Blackhawks in seven. Let's be clear. Nobody will win this. It's a matter of who loses. Who will fail harder? Chicago's goaltending or Phoenix's offense?
(4) Nashville vs. (5) Detroit
Playoff History: For some reason, I thought the Preds and Wings had played more than twice, but apparently not. Well, naturally, both series were reasonably recent, and both went in Detroit's favour.
Previously On…Survivor: The Preds won their first-ever playoff series against the woefully overmatched Ducks (everyone not named Matt saw that one coming a mile away) before losing to Vancouver in six the next round. Detroit beat Phoenix (again) before losing to San Jose (again) in seven in round two; like Chicago, however, they almost pulled off the 0-3 comeback.
Season Series: Tied at three. Both teams went 2-1 at home, all games were in regulation.
Doogie Says: If this matchup were happening a month ago, it'd be Preds in five and that's the end of it. Detroit's started to get healthy again, though, and that should make this a more interesting series. Still, there's something I just don't understand: what the ever-loving fuck is with the Wings' road record? Seriously, their home-road delta is the sort of thing I'd expect from a crap team like Winnipeg or Edmonton, teams with a lot of guys who need matchup help in order to have success. Is it injuries? Age? Depth? Luck? My conversations with Wings fans and perusal of the numbers suggests that it's a little bit of everything. Whatever the case, it's something that I imagine most of the hockey world is leaning on in picking Nashville to win this thing. The full-season fancystats laugh at this horrendously, but then the Preds, more than any other team, have heavily remade their roster in the last two months, adding Hal Gill, Andrei Kostitsyn, Paul Gaustad, and prodigal son Alexander Radulov in a go-for-broke effort to bring a Stanley Cup to Music City. And you know, it may just be working: there's been a definite uptick in their possession, and as Habs blogger Bruce Peter noted, they've been particularly good since Radulov arrived in particular. Small samples and all, but it's promising. More to the point, I've been quietly pulling for the Predators for a while, and I'm probably going to be putting all my eggs in their basket for this playoff run. In the absence of any more compelling reason to do so, that may be my ultimate reason for calling it a homer series. Predators in seven.
Hoop Says: Predators in seven.
Matt Says: Predators in six. Safely agreeing with Gerard when he says who knows? Is the third time the charm for Nashville?
Gerard Says: Predators in six. Coinflip. Let's be honest, nobody has any idea how this will go.
Prince of Wales Conference Quarterfinals
(1) NY Rangers vs. (8) Ottawa
Playoff History: In the modern era, none. However, because Ottawa made the critical mistake of claiming continuity with the original franchise back in '92, I get to pull dumb shit like this:
* – Denotes two-game, total-goals series.
Suck on it, Sens fans. This is what your franchise's early-period salesmanship hath wrought.
Previously On…Survivor: The Rangers bowed out to Washington in five. The Sens were Goddamned terrible last year, and also were the year before, but in 2010, they made the playoffs, anyway, and won the right to get punted by Pittsburgh in five.
Season Series: Surprisingly, Ottawa won it 3-1, all in regulation.
Doogie Says: As Gerard will note in just a couple of paragraphs here, at a certain point, you just gotta stop the puck. While Vezina favourite Henrik Lundqvist has regressed like a boss recently, he's still one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL, and while Craig Anderson et al. have shown some capacity for getting hot, there's no good reason to bet on them in a seven-game series. I'm not terribly familiar with the East this year, because Montreal decided they were going to miss the playoffs at Christmas, but I am interested to note that Jason Spezza finished fourth in the NHL in scoring; granted, he's 25 points back of Evgeni Malkin, but he's still at the top of that heap of point-per-game-ish players, which is kind of impressive. More impressive, though, is Erik Karlsson putting up 78 points, the highest total for a D since Nicklas Lidstrom put up 80 in the PP-fueled 2005-06 season. However, after those two, things drop off in a hurry, with only three players with more than 40 points on the year, which really doesn't put them in a much better position than the Rangers, who have the same number of 40-point players, led by 40-goal man Marian Gaborik. Ottawa has the slight advantage by even-strength shot metrics (though I'm told if you toss the Rangers' first ten games, they're way better), but it's worth noting that they're a way higher-event team in both directions, which is probably not a good thing when dealing with a #1 seed that prides itself on defence and good goaltending; I think they're going to get burned here trying to run and gun. They'll make it interesting, but I'll go with the Rangers in five.
Hoop Says: Rangers in six.
Matt Says: Rangers in six. Very interesting. Will this be a high scoring or low scoring series?
Gerard Says: Rangers in five. At some point, a team needs to stop pucks.
(2) Boston vs. (7) Washington
Playoff History: Nothing recent. Just a couple of series on the opposite ends of the '90s.
Previously On…Survivor: The Bruins are the defending Stanley Cup champions. Washington disposed of the Rangers in round one, before being stunned by the Bolts in four straight.
Season Series: As with the Rangers and Sens, this one actually belongs to the underdog, again by a 3-1 count, with one of Washington's three victories coming after sixty.
Doogie Says: Years from now, the 2011-12 Capitals will be a case study in when not to fire a coach. They had one of the best even-strength possession ratings in the NHL in late November when Bruce Boudreau was fired (53%), but just Godawful goaltending (a hair above .900). That's not when you fire your coach: if anything, that's when you call up the AHL guy to make a point to your two alleged NHL goalies to get their shit together. The goaltending eventually recovered, but the Caps' even-strength play took a nosedive, and they finished the year dead in the middle of the NHL in both points and Fenwick Close, barely making the playoffs, as Dale Hunter uses such cutting-edge evaluation techniques as "plus-minus" to decide on his scratches. Sure, the Bruins have had their ups and downs, and having Nathan Horton become the new Marc Savard is really going to hurt them in later rounds, but when you consider that Washington has both NHL goalies hurt going into the playoffs, Nick Backstrom recently back from missing half a year with a concussion, and Mike Green wrapping up a lost season spent mostly on the IR, they're straight-up boned here. Give it to the Bruins in five.
Hoop Says: Bruins in five.
Matt Says: Bruins in five. A team like Boston should be able to grind out enough goals to win.
Gerard Says: Bruins in five. At some point, a team needs to stop pucks.
(3) Florida vs. (6) New Jersey
Playoff History: I'd remark on how this isn't recent and what-not, but considering this is also the last playoff series the Panthers played? Yeeeeah.
Previously On…Survivor: As previously noted, the Panthers haven't made the playoffs since 2000, when the Devils disposed of them in four straight. Their last playoff game victory came on April 17, 1997, a 3-0 decision in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Rangers. Jersey, for their part, missed the playoffs last season, lost in the first round in 2010, and haven't won a series since 2007.
Season Series: Even at two, with one of the Devils' wins coming in the coin-flip.
Doogie Says: The Panthers have a few historical marks on their hands this year, none of them worthy of pride: most OT losses in NHL history, worst GD of a division champion in over 30 years (1979 CHI), first negative GD division champion in over 20 years (1989 DET), worst GD of any playoff team in 15 years (1997 MTL), worst fancystats of a playoff team in the fancystats era (2007 TBL). What I'm saying here is, Florida has no business having home ice: they should be closer to the draft lottery. The Devils, meanwhile, held their own in an incredibly tough division, despite Martin Brodeur no longer playing like Martin Brodeur (.908 SV%, second straight below-average year), and despite Travis Zajac missing most of the season due to injury. Part of that's due to shootout wins, yes (NHL-leading 11), and that'll bode poorly for them in later rounds, but I just look at the rosters and the stats, and I can't see any way that Florida comes out on top, unless Scott Clemmensen is the new Dwayne Roloson or something. This is easily the least interesting matchup of round one, and seems the least likely to be a real series. Still, the Panthers did manage to wring two regulation wins out of Jersey, so maybe it won't be a complete shitshow. Ah, what the hell: Devils in five.
Hoop Says: Devils in five.
Matt Says: Devils in six. No real idea here, but I'm going with New Jersey.
Gerard Says: Devils in four. Florida would have missed the playoffs if not for its lossless streak against the NW. They won 2 games, and the only one in regulation was the Canucks.
(4) Pittsburgh vs. (5) Philadelphia
Playoff History: Ah, here's one we're all familiar with. An old Patrick Division grudge match with multiple recent editions to stoke the fires.
Previously On…Survivor: The Pens were upset in round one by the Lightning, hocking up a 3-1 lead to lose in seven. The Flyers overcame the Sabres in seven before going out meekly in four against the eventual champions from Boston. (It is also worth noting here that the Flyers, the team swept by the Bruins, are back, while Montreal and Tampa, who pushed the Bruins to seven, are out. Wacky.)
Season Series: The Flyers won it 4-2, and finally suffered their first defeat at the Consol Energy Center in the final game of the regular season.
Doogie Says: It should be the most obvious thing in the world. The Penguins are the best team in the NHL, full stop. They were dominant for most of the year with multiple good players, including that Crosby guy, out of action with various maladies. They should run through the East like a chainsaw on a rocket. And yet I'm not convinced that they'll get past the first round, simply because the Flyers match up against them very well. I always seem to turn these games on in the final five minutes, with the decision already settled, so I can't tell you what it is, but the fact that it took six tries for the Pens to beat the Flyers in their own damned building for the first time is telling. Is it really the ribs? Has that spell been broken? Which collection of cheap-shot artists and agitating pricks will drive the other off their game first? The season series suggests Philly has the upper hand in that kind of series, and I have no reason to think it's not going to be that kind of series. Not that both these teams can't also play a brilliantly skilled game, just that this is too intense of a rivalry not to expect a lot of shenanigans. It's going to come down to the last game, possibly the very last shot, but give it to the Flyers in seven.
Hoop Says: Penguins in seven.
Matt Says: Flyers in six. So we can't leave their top two without something to whine about all summer…
Gerard Says: Pittsburgh in six. If either teams gets out of this series without its top three players injured, it'll be a miracle.

If there's one thing a coach doesn't want to see, it's player injuries during practice. Unfortunately for New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, the fourth day of team training camp brought with it several injuries to key members of the team.
Saints linebacker Martez Wilson highlights the list of players who returned to the locker room early on Monday after suffering what Payton described as an elbow injury after practice.
Wilson was seen walking off the field with trainers holding his left arm after failing to make a tackle during team drills.
Payton said they're going to evaluate Wilson, but doesn't think it will be anything significant.
If Wilson were to sustain a serious injury, he would be the second outside linebacker hurt this summer after Victor Butler injured his left knee during OTA practices.
Payton didn't say who would fill Wilson's shoes if the worst were to happen, but said some of the younger linebackers are receiving time rotating through the position.
"(Chase Thomas and Eric Martin) are getting their reps," Payton said. "We're going three groups right now, so a lot of these guys are getting plenty of work. At some point -- 2-3 weeks from now -- we'll reduce those reps."
New Orleans also experienced a flurry of heat-related injuries as the heat index reached 106 degrees at the Metairie practice facility.
Saints wide receiver Saalim Hakim was carted of the field after experiencing what Saints wide receivers coach Henry Ellard described as heat cramps.
"When you've got those massive calf muscles like that sometimes you get a hot day and it tends to happen," Ellard said. "He just has to stay hydrated to make sure he's able to finish out practices."
Hakim is expected to be back at practice tomorrow.
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive lineman Tom Johnson both left the field during 7-on-7 drills as well, but returned to practice shortly after.
Wide receiver Marques Colston, cornerback Patrick Robinson and linebacker Victor Butler all remained on the physically unable to play list during Monday's practice. Wide receiver Jarred Fayson also spent his fourth consecutive day on the sidelines after experiencing dehydration from Thursday's conditioning test.

Countries We Serve,
Amor, Fe, Y Esperanza (AFE)
Proverbs 22:6 School
El Verbo Christian School
Orphan Outreach is partnering with ministry programs in Tegucigalpa, the slums of Nueva Suyapa and the city dump in Tegucigalpa. Read below to learn more about our partner programs in Honduras and how you can get involved.
Amor, Fe, Y Esperanza (Love, Faith, & Hope),
[The Dump in Tegucigalpa]
There are approximately 300 children working at the dump in Tegucigalpa – some as young as 5 and 6 years of age. They collect trash to sell and make less than a dollar a day. They face the challenges of disease, forced child prostitution, and death – a life with little hope. That is the reality that Jeony Ordonez saw when he brought his 5 year old daughter to the dump to dispose of some trash. His little girl begged him to help the children and that is how AFE was started. The ministry started addressing the educational and spiritual needs of the children on the dump site and then across the street next to a soccer field under a tree for several years. A mission group built two buildings where they were meeting under the trees and the government gave them the right to the land. Two more buildings are being built, a kitchen/cafeteria and a high school building. God is blessing Jeony's faithfulness and his daughter's compassion.
The school has classes from Kindergarten to high school and serves approximately 120 students. Many of the children still are forced to work at the dump but are in classes at least half a day. Orphan Outreach is working with Jeony on Social Justice ministry to advocate to chance the laws so no more children will be able to work in the dump. Orphan outreach is working in collaboration with AFE in providing operational funds for the school, providing funds for connecting electricity to the campus, and other construction projects. On mother's day Orphan Outreach, AFE and Washington Cathedral Church provided a celebration for mother's of the children from the dump.
Ministry Opportunities
Mission trip opportunities for VBS, sports camps, teacher training, construction and evangelism.
Financial assistance for operations. AFE needs monies for salaries of teachers so they can hire more quality teachers for the children.
Financial assistance for constructing new high school building and for capital items for the school such as computers, desks and other educational supplies.
Pray for Jeony and his wife as they provide leadership to the ministry and for the children they serve.
Jardin Y Escuela Christiana "Proverbs 22:6", [Tegucigalpa]
The Proverbs 22:6 School started with a dream of a young girl who lived in the worst slum of Tegucigalpa. Reyna, the founder of the school, had a dream as a young girl to start a school for the community where she grew up. She worked her way through school and became a teacher, saving her money so she could start the private Christian school. Her ultimate goal is to train up the children to be ambassadors for Christ in the mission field.
Proverbs 22:6 has approximately 75 students and serves the local community and children from the Nueva Suyapa slum. Orphan Outreach works in collaboration with Proverbs 22:6 to provide operational funds so that orphans can attend the school from the slums of Tegucigalpa. Our prayer is that we will be able to assist Reyna in expanding the school and enhancing the curriculum that is provided for the students.
Ministry Opportunities
Mission Trips ministering to the kids through VBS, teacher training, and work projects.
Financial resources for operational funds and educational items such as computers and teaching and student supplies.
Financial support for construction needs and urgent repairs.
Financial resources to expand the school to higher grade levels.
Prayer for Reyna and the staff as they teach and mentor the students.Pray for the students that they do well in school and that are directed by the Lord as to His will in their life.
El Verbo Christian School,
[Nueva Suyapa]
El Verbo is a ministry of Ministerios Cristianos de Mayordomía (MCM). It is located in Nueva Suyapa which is a slum considered by most to be the worst in Tegucigalpa. Nueva Suyapa started in the 1960's as an extension of Aldea de Suyapa. It got its name because it was a place of pilgrimage for Catholic's who honored the Virgin of Suyapa whose statue is believed to have been found there centuries ago. The area had about 2,000 residents until hurricane Fifi in 1974 when the government allowed displaced people from the hurricane to build there. The population quickly grew to 30,000 with little infrastructure to support the residents. It was in the midst of this crisis that MCM started to work. In 1994 they started El Verbo Christian School.
El Verbo Christian School has approximately 750 students from kindergarten to 12
grade. They had their first graduating class May 2007 and many of the students went on to college. Orphan Outreach has provided school supplies, vitamins, a new play ground, and educational supplies. We are in the process of evaluating other projects to collaborate.
Ministry Opportunities
Mission Trips providing VBS, sports camps, teacher training, medical ministries and work projects.
Financial assistance for operations of the Kindergarten and prepa grades in order for more students to be served.
Financial assistance for urgent needs for the school and repairs or renovations.
Prayer for the students and the staff who ministers to them. Prayer for more financial assistance for the school overall.

sweet corn pancakes
And so, I'm back, at least physically. (My brain is still with the swans.) These were supposed to be the perfect beach house breakfast, as what could be a better embodiment of high summer than fresh corn kernels sauteed in butter, lightly salted and tucked into a barely sweet pancake? Nothing, clearly. Alas, they never made it into our rental kitchen but they're quickly becoming a regular at home and they seem gunning for a savory application too — nixed sugar, a dollop of sour cream and fresh tomato salsa. And now that I've given you an excuse to have pancakes for breakfast for dinner, I think my work is done here and I'll go back to
looking at North Fork real estate working hard on that cookbook.
One year ago: Grilled Eggplant and Olive Pizza
Two years ago: Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
Three years ago: Plum-Almond Tarts
Sweet Corn Pancakes
About the sweetness: in my family, we drench our pancakes in maple syrup so I prefer the pancakes themselves to have little or no sugar, for contrast. If you're one of those noble beings that like your pancakes plain, you might like an additional tablespoon of sugar in them. As I mentioned above, I think these have great savory potential by skipping the sugar and increasing the salt, served with sour cream or salsa.
New to homemade pancakes? I have a slew of tips over here.
Makes about 9 to 10 4-inch pancakes
2 tablespoons butter (1 ounce or 28 grams), plus additional for brushing pan
3/4 cup kernels cut from one large ear sweet fresh corn
1/8 teaspoon (1 gram) salt plus additional for seasoning corn
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups (296 ml) buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (13 grams) sugar
3/4 cup (3 3/8 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (3/4 ounce or 22 grams) cornmeal, any kind
1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Melt butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Add corn and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to brown ever-so-slightly. Sprinkle with salt and set aside to cool. Wipe out skillet.
Lightly beat egg in the bottom of a large bowl, then whisk in buttermilk, corn, vanilla and sugar. In a smaller bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just combined but still lumpy in appearance.
Reheat your skillet or saute pan to medium. Brush the pan with butter and ladle 1/4 cup batter at a time, 2 inches apart. When the pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, flip them over and cook them until golden brown underneath. If they seem to be cooking too quickly (dark on the outside, raw centers) turn your heat down to low for the next batch and inch it up as needed. Repeat with remaining batter, and serve immediately with a pat of salted butter and a healthy dose of maple syrup.

Sample SRM Reports
By unixman on Oct 13, 2005
I DO have Sample SRM reports produced by SRM Reporter (based on SRM 1.3 product from Sun, which works on Solaris 2.6 - through Solaris 8 (inclusive). I am working on adapting the utility for being able to do the same on Solaris 10 (and 9).
For now, sample reports are available at the following URL: http://unixability.com/SRM
How to navigate the available SRM reports:
Once there, you'll be presented with a list of hosts, each host containing Daily, Weekly, Monthly report types.
You should select the host named "malish" and look at all three types of reports for that host.
All other hosts listed there are used as place holders for future development. (Currently I only have SRM running on one machine, namely, "malish").
Once you click on one of three report types, you'll be presented with a list of available reports of that type, for that particular host. The available reports are sorted by date.
Please note - since I use this machine for many experimental purposes, some reports may appear to show questionable data. If you do come across a report that looks questionable, please let me know and I'll be happy to clarify.
Any questions, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 22 August 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420822-TC-JWC-01; CL 15: 37-39
Chelsea, Monday [22 August 1842].
Dearest,— We have got your good long Letter today, and amicably divided it between us,—"Babbie" letting me even retain a small portion of hers, for the sake of the sheet it was on. My head is aching in the heat, my miserable scribble is done; along with Harriett's Letter, take one word.
What a misery that when all else is so right you cannot get sleep for noises! It is equivalent to the wretchedest King's-veto put upon every other advantage whatsoever. I know not what to advise,—if your kind hosts are still unable to quell these despicabilities of yowling whelps &c from under their windows. For one thing I would have myself, if I could get it, a sleep during the day. Total want of sleep renders one doubly sensible to all kinds of noises; any snatch of sleep is useful; the smallest contributions thankfully received!
Tell Mrs Buller I will write to her, but do not yet know what to answer: I will consider the matter, and then answer. My present oppression under the heat and horrible oven-like air of this Brick-Babylon is not favourable for enterprise! But, after all, there is not much that ails me; I have only my miserable sluggish self to fight against: it is a shame to complain!
Yesternight I walked seven miles with Jack; Jeannie and I had walked, in the day, round by Hyde Park to the uttermost corner of it, and home thro' Kensington Gardens: fair work, I think?— But it begins to strike me that our dietetics are perhaps capable of improvement! We have gone entirely on coffee since you left us, which Helen continues to make with admirable effect: tomorrow morning, what if we try tea!— —
Helen's wounded leg was getting a kind of bore: we have called in the aid of the youngest stick-WOMANLET (I mean the Stickwoman's1 younger daughter, the elder not being procurable), and ordered Helen to confine herself for the present to the Kitchen. Galloping up and down stairs was the continual obstruction of her surgery. Jeannie says she is now improving rapidly. The little girl is a tidy creature; answers the door, brings up the dinner &c &c; and all goes perfectly as it should do. We had John yesterday (as the previous Sunday) to investigate the wound; which he pro[no]unces2 to be in a very reasonable state. I have only one request to make about it, that the good Wifiekin will put the matter totally out of her head, as in real truth "no matter," and not fret or hurry herself in any respect whatever about that. It does really form a kind of amusement for Jeannie, I believe; and for me there is no change perceptible in my footpaths, but the ground continues everywhere free and good for me.
Today there is a Letter from Jean at Dumfries, with news of a poor but true and worthy Aunt, Aunt Tibbie's3 death at Hawick;—you remember one of her daughters at my Uncle John's.4 She had been for many months in suffering with total rheumatism &c: alas, poor Aunt Tibbie; I can remember her a brisk, truehearted figure out of my earliest boyhood: and now, in poverty, rheumatism, and all kinds of sorrow, except that of faintheartedness or falseness in herself, or unkindness in those around her, she has to bow her head and die! Her husband5 is a good cheery and worthy man; I am truly sorry for him. Ah, me—when I look back upon all— Ah me!— But there is no use in "Ah"-ing. Courage, Courage!
Was there not something else I had to tell thee today? I really cannot remember; and yet, and yet— But if anything, it was a thing of no moment at all; merely perhaps some tellable thing. I send thee my heart's blessing; I do weary for thee, my poor woman, but thou shalt stay and get better, while that serves! Adieu.
The riots seem to be ceasing: I send Mr Buller this Manchester Paper, to shew him that comfortable fact. Is not your Lady Bunbury's son one of our Library Committee?6—

A Hunger Artist
by Franz Kafka
A Hunger Artist Theme of Art and Culture
Can you call an act a performance if no one recognizes it as a performance? That is the fundamental predicament of Kafka's hunger artist. Can starvation even count as an art form? We're not sure, but even at the height of his popularity, the artist is never appreciated or understood. Kafka's story never tells us why the popularity of the hunger artist's act takes a nosedive – only that the artist's popularity is symptomatic of some larger shift in society. What is it about society or human nature that drives so many crowds to seek out the spectacle of a man starving himself? And what does it mean when the same crowds lose their appetite for the hunger artist and prefer the spectacle of caged animals instead?
Questions About Art and Culture
- How is starvation an art form for the hunger artist? What distinguishes starvation as an art form from simple starvation? What is involved in a typical performance?
- How does the manager manipulate the hunger artist's performance? How does he interfere in the relationship between the artist and his audience?
- How does the public react to the hunger artist's performance? Why was he so popular? Why did his popularity decline?
- How does the hunger artist's performance change once he becomes part of the circus? How does his act compare to the spectacle provided by the animals in their cages? How do the spectators at the circus treat the hunger artist?
- Why do you think that Kafka chose starvation as form of art instead of some other unusual behavior?
- Is the hunger artist a true artist, or is he simply a picky eater? Is it possible for him to be both?
Chew on This
In Kafka's "A Hunger Artist," the indifference and ignorance of the public, even at the height of the artist's popularity, suggests a deep problem in society.
By treating starvation as an art form, Kafka's "A Hunger Artist" challenges traditional notions of art.

For Immediate Release
March 30, 2011
Released By:
Parks and Recreation
For More Information Contact:
Parks Dept.
The Boston Parks and Recreation Department (BPRD) is pleased to announce the release of its Sustainable Design Guidelines. As part of the Parks Department's mission to foster and serve the community, a comprehensive review of existing design standards, design details, specifications, and operation and maintenance practices throughout Boston's park system was undertaken with the goal to improve the overall sustainability of its Parks and Open Spaces.
Based on this review and in consultation with Parks Department staff, a new set of guidelines was established to use when reviewing and evaluating the sustainability of BPRD projects. The report is split into two volumes with the second acting as a stand-alone planning and assessment tool.
"Mayor Menino has engaged all city departments in addressing sustainability as a way to better serve our people, protect our environment, reduce operating costs, and grow our local economy," said James Hunt, Boston's Chief of Environment and Energy. "Boston's Parks Department is leading the way in creating more sustainable park spaces through reduced resource use and by showcasing green technologies to the countless visitors enjoying our quality green spaces."
The report reviews existing practices and design standards with recommendations for improvement. It also provides a mechanism for BPRD staff and/or consultants to use to evaluate additional sustainability opportunities as part of the planning process for BPRD projects.
The difference between a "green" project and a "sustainable" project is that a "green" project focuses solely on environmental stewardship such as reducing waste, minimizing carbon and water footprints, preventing pollution and conserving natural resources while a "sustainable" project moves beyond these and not only includes green components, but also integrates economic growth and social responsibility.
The guidelines are designed to facilitate integration of sustainable principles into current BPRD operations and future projects. The short-term recommendations in the report focus on the next two budget cycles and the long-term recommendations target what can be accomplished in three to five budget cycles depending on the scope and the availability of funding.
Among the recommendations are: managing storm water runoff from BPRD sites to aid in the reduction of potential flooding, reduce pollutant loading and recharge groundwater; managing the establishment of new and larger vegetated zones with native plant species to reduce soil erosion, provide wildlife habitat, and enhance air quality; and reducing energy consumption by utilizing energy-efficient lighting and equipment such as LED lights and timing controls to aid in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The report also lists current BPRD practices that demonstrate the Department's ongoing commitment to integrating sustainability into their operations including completion of a renewable energy study for all BPRD facilities, an ongoing LED lighting demonstration project on Boston Common, use of Big Belly solar compactors at BPRD facilities, the utilization of hybrid vehicles by BPRD staff, and the introduction of single stream recycling at BPRD offices.
In addition, the Department will work to identify locally available materials and sustainable products, implement a small-scale renewable energy demonstration project and/or solar lighting project at an existing BPRD facility, and reduce consumption of resources such as water, fuel, and paper by setting benchmark reduction levels and monitoring progress.
With the report now in hand, BPRD staff will be able to implement the report's sustainability guidelines and accompanying pre-design checklist to maximize effectiveness in design and planning. The Department will also be able to continue to expand use of other "green" techniques in ongoing maintenance, operations, and capital improvement projects.
To read the report's Conclusions and Recommendations, go to cityofboston.gov/parks. The entire Sustainable Design Guidelines can be viewed at the Parks Department offices located at 1010 Massachusetts Avenue, Roxbury, during regular weekday office hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In a related story, the William J. Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park has received certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses (ACSP), an international program administered by Audubon International designed to help landowners preserve and enhance the environmental quality of their property. The plan was developed by Russell Heller, Golf Course Superintendent, who is also recognized for his effort to plan for environmental stewardship.
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses provides an advisory service to help existing golf courses develop effective conservation and wildlife enhancement programs. This worldwide effort is coordinated by Audubon International and is sponsored in part by the United States Golf Association.
"The open space of a golf course is utilized not only by golfers, but is habitat for a variety of wildlife species," explained Jim Sluiter, Staff Ecologist for Audubon International. "We welcome William J. Devine Golf Course's commitment to the environment and to managing the golf course with wildlife in mind.
"By joining and participating in the ACSP, William J. Devine Golf Course will be involved in projects that enhance habitat for wildlife and preserve natural resources for the benefit of the local community. These projects may include: placing nesting boxes for cavity-nesting birds such as bluebirds and swallows, utilizing integrated pest management techniques, conserving water, and maintaining food and cover for wildlife.
"The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program benefits both people and wildlife," said Sluiter. "It's a great way for the managers of developed properties and environmental organizations to work together to become better stewards of land and natural resources."
