Startling development on eve of deadline with Clippers talks real.Update, 8:30 p.m.• Jonathan Feigen, Houston Chronicle: A person with knowledge of the Rockets thinking said [GM Daryl] Morey is seeking home run deals, trades that are by definition less likely. Even if he is to tweak -- and other persons familiar with the Rockets plans have said they would like to add a defensive-minded wing that can catch and shoot -- it has been difficult to make a trade work with the Rockets' unwillingness to take back a contract beyond the 2015 off-season to merely fine tune and also unlikely to take a step back this season to acquire future assets.• Darren Wolfson, 1500 ESPN: Want to know how much of a long-shot a Kevin Love trade is?

Gasol also conceded the Lakers haven't had any talks with him about securing an extension.• Ramona Shelburne, ESPNLosAngeles.com: The Lakers have been one of the more active teams in advance of Thursday's deadline as they gauge the market for [Pau] Gasol and veterans like Jordan Hill, Chris Kaman and Steve Blake. With their record at 18-35 heading into Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets, it makes little sense to pay luxury taxes and be in line to pay the more punitive repeater taxes in the future. However, sources said the Lakers have remained resolute in every trade discussion not to trade Gasol without acquiring an asset in return, and that there is a growing sentiment within the organization that it could be more valuable to hold on to Gasol and his Bird rights as he becomes a free agent and the organization has substantial room under the salary cap for the first time in years.• Eddie Sefko, Dallas Morning News: Mark Cuban has heard so many preposterous trade rumors that he laughs at a lot of them. The Kevin Love-to-Dallas speculation fell into that category. ... The Mavericks are ridiculously shy on tradable assets to obtain a player of Love's talents.

The Nets have been shopping Terry and Evans extensively, a source said. Terry, who has been traded twice in his long career, said he hasn't been told anything about a deal, but plans to have a conversation with general manager Billy King. ... Every player involved in the proposed deal with the Kings has two years remaining on his contract. But the Nets would have to spend more money in salaries and luxury taxes if they acquire Thornton, which would push their record-breaking season figure close to $200 million.• Keith Pompey, Philadelphia Inquirer: The Sixers are shopping Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, and [Thaddeus] Young leading up to Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline. The franchise wants to gain future compensation. The Sixers are believed to be the most active team in trade talks, having had discussions with all 29 other NBA franchises.• Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald: The Celtics are, indeed, willing to entertain offers for [Rajon] Rondo, but unless another club puts something truly amazing to [president Danny] Ainge's head, it's hard to see him pulling the trigger on such a trade at this time.• Chris Broussard, ESPN.com: Toronto would love to make a deal for Rajon Rondo, but I'm told Rondo would not re-sign a long-term contract in Toronto after next season.• Darnell Mayberry, The Oklahoman: All told, it's unlikely the Thunder will do anything of substance [at the deadline] for the third straight year. Still, there are reasons to believe OKC could agree to something smaller. ... It's not a pressing need, but the Thunder could stand to shore up its perimeter shooting. • Sam Amick, USA Today Sports: On Omer Asik front, I'm told there have been no recent talks w/ Houston and Milwaukee. Again, idea that he stays in Houston very possible. Comments

The North East River Yacht Club (NERYC) and the Hances Point Yacht Club (HPYC), both located in the North East River on the upper Chesapeake Bay, have begun holding weekly Friday evening sailboat races.
The races are being held jointly between both clubs, with after race festivities being held at each respective club house. One week it will be NERYC, the next week will be HPYC.
Spectators are welcome to enjoy the waterfront view at either club, from the patio at NERYC to the new porch at HPYC.
The races began last friday, on June, 20th, 2014, and saw 8 boats participate in two different classes. The winds were light but there was drama in the corners and the finish line, as another beautiful Friday night came to a close.
The series runs from June 20th, to September 5th, with the first race run at NERYC and the venue switching to HPYC the following week, alternating back every other week.
Skippers meetings are at 6:15pm which will be broadcast on VHF channel 71, and an on water start out in front of NERYC at 6:45pm.
Contacts for the events are: Mike Wagner (NERYC) firstname.lastname@example.com - (302)-242-6344 or Rick Fellows (HPYC) firstname.lastname@example.com - (610)-268-4572.
Each club also will hold races throughout the sailing season on weekends, see each clubs respective websites for details.
Hances Point tried to run a race on Sunday, June, 22nd, only to be cancelled due to lack of wind halfway around the marks.
keep your eyes peeled on the North East River for all the racing action this summer.

Miami Marlins hitting coach Eduardo Perez admits to concerns about Hanley's bat
A guest of MLB Network Radio on Monday, Miami Marlins hitting coach Eduardo Perez admitted to having some concerns about how the position change and shoulder surgery will impact Hanley Ramirez's bat next season. Perez, like manager Ozzie Guillen said earlier this offseason, believes playing a less demanding position should facilitate Ramirez having a bounce back year.
"I think everybody has his concerns," Perez told hosts Kevin Kennedy and Jim Duquette. "The good thing is it's not like he's going from third base to shortstop or to a higher level, difficult position. Going to third base we're hoping it'll keep his legs fresh…There's a lot more diving going on with a lot more force at shortstop than third. Third base is a step and a dive, which you don't really feel it as much. He's got all the athletic ability to be successful. Now internally, can he handle that change of position for the better of the team and even for the better of his health and better of his well-being and longevity of his career? We're not going to know until spring training arrives.
"Right now, yes, we can say he's approved of the move, but we really won't know how that will affect him, defensively, but most importantly offensively. Everybody two years ago was talking about Hanley Ramirez being the best offensive player, could be one of the best offensive players in the game all-around."
Perez also is curious to see how Ramirez's shoulder will respond in live competition.
"Everybody talks about, well, he's hitting, he's swinging and I'm really happy he's doing that being the hitting coach of the Marlins, but at the same time what I worry about is not just the BP fastball, but what about in-game situations, that check swing?" Perez said. "That's where a lot of strength goes into holding on to your swing. Or when you get fooled on that slider down and away, it's all shoulder there. That's the big test. That's the one where Hanley is going to have to be very careful."
Perez said Ramirez's shoulder trouble made the high, one-handed finish to his swing problematic. What Perez wants Ramirez to avoid is having to make a major adjustment because of his shoulder issues.
"That's one thing I don't want Hanley to do is completely change his swing," Perez said. "Last year, before he got hurt, he was on a roll. We had him right where we wanted to have him offensively and with the right mindset. His average was going up…and all of a sudden he gets injured. Hopefully that shoulder will be strong enough to make sure he can finish high and complete his swing and be as aggressive as he has been throughout his career."
Perez also addressed how he'll approach building a relationship with Jose Reyes.
"The beauty about Jose Reyes is he's the complete package offensively," Perez said. "Being that switch hitter, creating havoc on the bases, and he knows his role. He knows his job and it's going to be a pleasure working with a guy who understands who he is at the plate and also in the ballpark. He knows how to make a team better. What we're going to need from Jose, bottom line, is presence. He's got that infectious presence of wanting to play, wanting to hustle, and that will carry over on the rest of the guys.
"This is a plus-plus situation for us. A lot of people say there's going to be a lot of chaos. I don't think so. I think having Jose Reyes there offensively is going to make my job a lot easier in many ways. He understands when he needs to bunt, he'll bunt. He understands that when he needs to get on base, he'll get on base. He understands when he needs that triple or that double, he'll do so. Not only is he a good hitter, he's a very good baserunner and an aggressive baserunner. That's what we want out of Jose to carry over for the rest of the guys on the team."

How can I tell if a $3 \times 3$ matrix is a reflection? I know that orthogonal matrices have determinants of either $1$ or $-1$. If the determinant is $-1$, then it can possibly be a reflection. How do I prove for sure that the $3 \times 3$ matrix is a reflection?

A square matrix $A$ of reals is a reflection if and only if $A$ is orthogonal ($A A^T = I$), also $A^2 = I$ and $I-A$ has rank one, where $I$ is the identity matrix. Checking rank can be done by the same techniques as Gaussian elimination, that is by row operations. At the end of the row operations, there is a single nonzero row remaining, call it the vector $\vec{v},$ and its transpose, a column vector, $\vec{v}^T.$ The action of $A$ on vectors (written as columns) is to send $\vec{v}^T$ to $-\vec{v}^T,$ and to leave alone any vector orthogonal to $\vec{v}.$ Note that we have said that $A$ is both orthogonal and symmetric, because we have said that $A=A^T.$
Examples are even possible with rational entries,
$$ A \; = \; \frac{1}{49} \begin{pmatrix} 41 & 12 & -24 \\ 12 & 31 & 36 \\ -24 & 36 & -23 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$
Notice that
$$ I-A \; = \; \frac{1}{49} \begin{pmatrix} 8 & -12 & 24 \\ -12 & 18 & -36 \\ 24 & -36 & 72 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$
When written as a row vector, we may take $\vec{v} = (2,-3,6)$ as the vector that is sent to its own negative. Note that the vectors $(-6,2,3)$ and $(3,6,2),$ which are orthogonal to each other and to $\vec{v},$ are fixed by $A.$
If you are considering a matrix, you can find its eigenvectors, and thus diagonalize orthogonally if your matrix is assumed orthogonal. A reflection would have an eigenvalue of $1$ with a corresponding eigenspace of dimension $2$, plus an eigenvalue of $-1$ with a corresponding eigenspace of dimension $1$. This means that with respect to this basis, the reflection matrix looks like $$ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$ thus it has determinant $-1$ since the matrices that change coordinates are not changing the determinant (you multiply by that matrix and its inverse so their determinants cancel out).
Now if you are considering a matrix and want to know if it is a reflection knowing that it has determinant $-1$, well first you have to assume it is orthogonal, because reflections are. Now assuming this, by diagonalizing it orthogonally, the eigenvalues MUST be $1$ and $-1$, and since you have determinant $-1$, the eigenvalue $1$ will have a 2-dimensional eigenspace and $-1$ will have a 1-dimensional eigenspace. If the eigenvalues are NOT $1$ and $-1$, then it cannot be a reflection in the strict sense of the term (i.e. it might stretch the vectors in some direction instead of just reflecting).
Hope that helps,

Are you a fan of software programming and you've been very fascinated by the world of iPhone's Apps? Then you should try and start developing an app of your own to be published on the App Store.
All that you need is a Mac and a good idea to turn into application. For the rest, with a little of experience and good will, you are going to learn how to develop an app for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It's much easier and faster than you can imagine. Want to bet?
If you want to discover how to develop an app for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, the first step you need to do is to visit this page of the Apple website and join Apple IOS Developer Program as an individual developer. This will allow you to test the app you write on your iDevice and then to publish your app on the App Store. If you want to be a registered Apple developer, you must pay an annual membership fee of 99 $.
Once you are signed up for the developers program for iOS, you have to open the Mac App Store and download Xcode, the software through which you can create app for iOS and you will have access to a graphical editor, a code editor and several pre-defined templates that allow you to become familiar with the development environment. Together with Xcode, you'll also have installed the iOS software development kit (SDK) and iPhone Simulator, an iPhone emulator that lets you run a test on the first app developed without using a real Apple device.
To develop applications for iOS you must use the Objective-C language, which is quite intuitive for all those who have programming experience in Java and C++. If you are not one of them, you can search on Google for guides to Objective-C (there are plenty) or refer to Apple's official website where there is a nice introduction to the platform.
The Objective-C is a language focused on objects, this means that, during the development process, you must focus your attention on the creation of objects- It's all explained in this comprehensive documentation on the Apple site.
As for the user interface, try to design your application following the guidelines of simplicity and human interfaces. In short, give a familiar design to your app trying to make them user-friendly for those who are completely ignorant of technology. To better understand what I'm saying, try to open the Calculator application on your iPhone: anyone could use it. Why? Simple, because it resembles in every way a real calculator and therefore does not need any explanation or introduction to be used.
Once you've finished developing an app, you need to test it in order to find bugs and fix them. As mentioned above, you can test the app directly on your computer using the iPhone Simulator but this applies only to the first few tests. Following you need to transfer the app on your iPhone and test it directly on the device to find bugs that would otherwise remain hidden.
To run your app on an iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch real, you must register your device at IOS Developer Program, create a certificate for signing the app and create an app ID that identifies your application. The single developer license allows you to test the app on up to 100 devices.
After performing the testing phase, when you believe that your application is ready to be downloaded or purchased by the public, you have to send it to Apple via iTunes Connect and wait until it is approved by the heads of the App Store. The process usually takes a week or two, so do not worry if you do not get "answers" immediately after submitting your app.

Civil War Historian William C. Harris Examines Lincoln's Wartime Strategy
For Immediate Release:
September 30, 2011
September 30, 2011
Contact: Steven Woolfolk
Civil War Historian William C. Harris Examines Lincoln's Wartime Strategy
The Kansas City Public Library hosts award-winning Civil War historian William C. Harris for a discussion of his new book Lincoln and the Border States: Preserving the Union on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Faced with a divided nation, President Abraham Lincoln deemed the loyalty of the border slave states crucial to the preservation of the Union. But while most scholars contend that these states were secure by the end of 1861, Harris argues that Confederate campaigns and guerrilla activities kept the border region in constant turmoil, and that those states preoccupied Lincoln throughout the war.
This presentation previews Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War, an exhibit on display at the Central Library beginning November 9, 2011.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP online or call 816.701.3407. Free parking is available at the Library District Parking Garage at 10th & Baltimore.
Major funding for programs at the Kansas City Public Library is provided by a generous grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

With the summer heating up, national women's fashion trends have made their way to the Midwest. St. Louisans have offered their unique interpretation of these trends through street style. These looks scored big at Fair St. Louis, and style-savvy women citywide continue to incorporate the following trends in their summer ensembles when attending the many events St. Louis has to offer this season.
High-rise denim cut off shorts
These cheeky shorts have made their debut on the streets of St. Louis. Some blame Miley Cyrus for this risqué trend. Often paired with graphic tee shirts and cropped tops, high-rise denim cutoffs are undoubtedly the street style staple this summer. A third piece to complete this look is the plaid shirt, which is usually worn around the waist to add some color, and to cover up the bottom.
Jelly satchel bag
Available in many different colors, the jelly satchel is a structured bag that takes us back to the 90s when jelly shoes and plastic accessories were fashionably acceptable. This urban trend is inspired by the Furla 'Candy' Satchel bag. Many designers have followed suit by using an almost identical design to mimic Furla. St. Louis fashionistas have adopted the trend and taken the streets by storm, commonly carrying the bag as the statement piece to their look.
Floral headband
Peace, love, and flowers. Another nostalgic trend has emerged this summer in St. Louis; this time, from the 60s. The floral headband is the go-to hair accessory this summer. This trend compliments sundresses, full-on denim looks, and bohemian style outfits.
Lace cropped top
The tasteful midriff is possible with the lace cropped. Cropped tops have been on the fashion landscape for the last few seasons. This summer, they are mainstream. Many have used the lace cropped top to create dainty looks with flowy maxi skirts. However, on the streets of St. Louis, these tops have been paired with knit skirts and sneakers, mid to high-rise shorts and distressed denim, putting an urban twist on the trend.
Dramatic gladiator sandals
This trend has kept growing since its debut a few summers ago. Now, the height of the gladiator sandal ranges from the ankle to the knee. These sandals have taken on the concept of a boot. This summer in St. Louis, they are often used to add an edgy flare to printed skater skirts, midi skirts, and high-low dresses.
Midi rings
Midi rings are for the fashion conscious, the meticulous who value a full-body look, down to the very finger. Normal costume rings were not enough. The midi ring became a trend recently, as the focus on adorning the entire body made its way to popular culture. No piercings necessary for this look. It is more about balancing a hand statement with a complimentary arm statement, when previously wearing an armful of bangle bracelets was the urban standard in St. Louis. When it comes to street style this summer, the more accessories, the better.
Tribal beaded necklace
The tribal jewelry trend is rooted in the ancient tribal cultures of the world. African and Native American inspired beading methods are used to create these culturally rich and timeless pieces. Tribal beaded necklaces are a major trend this summer, especially in street style. Such beaded necklaces are associated with ethnic and urban culture and are commonly used as a form of self-expression. They add a bold pop of color to a solid-colored maxi dress, or depth to a knit top paired with wide-leg printed pants.

The JVM Language Summit - 2012
By Janice J. Heiss on Jul 24, 2012
A new article, now up on otn/java, provides information about the upcoming 2012 JVM Language Summit, scheduled for July 30–August 1, 2012 on the Oracle campus in Santa Clara. The Summit brings together top language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, and VM architects, from around the world for an open technical collaboration.
Summit organizer Brian Goetz of Oracle remarks: "We've been running the JVM Language Summit for the past five years. The attendees at the Summit are the people who are making languages on the JVM happen—there are typically architect-level representatives from many JVM language communities including JRuby, Jython, Scala, Groovy, and Clojure. This is a tremendous opportunity for the community to influence the future direction of the JVM and for us to learn more about how the JVM is being used, where it shines, and where it falls short."
The schedule is equally divided between traditional presentations, most of which are limited to 40 minutes, and informal workshops, which consist of small facilitated discussion groups among self-selected participants to enable deeper dives into the subject matter. There will also be impromptu lightning talks.

One of the best ways to prepare prawns is to grill them as it retains their natural flavour. Grilling also gives the prawns a smoky aroma. For best results, get meaty jumbo prawns, but any prawns would work.
Fresh off the grill, these prawns are served with a chili lime dipping sauce with sesame seeds and chopped coriander leaves. This simple yet appetising condiment delivers sharp and bold flavours.
Makes 20-24 servings
1 kg prawn, remove the heads and devein
Bamboo skewers
2-inch ginger, peeled
2 tablespoons coriander roots
½ teaspoon salt
Butter, for grilling
Chili lime dipping sauce:
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
¼ teaspoon sesame seeds
1. Soak the bamboo skewers in water overnight. (This prevents burning during grilling.)
2. Using a mortar and pestle, pound the ginger and coriander roots until they become a fine paste. Squeeze the juice and discard the residue.
3. Marinate the prawns with the juice and salt for 1 hour.
4. Blend the chili lime dipping sauce ingredients in a sauce bow and set aside.
5. Thread each prawn onto a bamboo skewer and set aside.
6. Fire up the grill and grill the prawns on one side and then turn to the other side until cooked. Brush butter on the prawns while grilling.
7. Transfer the grilled prawn on a serving plate and serve immediately with chili lime dipping sauce.

I have a post with attached images and I was able to display the images but I'm can't seem to find a way to paginate the results. I am using get_children but now I'm wondering if my method of displaying the images is the right way to do it or not. What other methods can I use? Thanks!
I doubt you could paginate within a post display. It would be more effective to display all the image attachments at the page load, and have a script do the pagination.
You can find a lot of them on such sites: http://www.themeflash.com/30-powerful-jquery-slideshow-sliders-plugins-and-tutorials/
You need to be able to edit your template files, specifically the header and post parts.
If you don't want to muddle in your template, and don't need to have the slider right on the side, you could easily install a lightbox wordpress extension that would generate an output with a pop-up window in which you can switch between images.

Over at The Little Moments, Amy Jo tells how she acquired these cool chairs that have a mid-century modern vibe. " I drove around the corner and saw an estate sale in progress. My car was already filled to the brim with the kids, so I drove past. Amazingly, I was taking them to a play date. I passed it again on the way back home, and decided to stop."
Amy Jo's luck didn't end there–at the estate sale, they let her take these chairs for free! At home, she was a little nervous about giving chairs that might be valuable a complete makeover, so she searched the internet with the clues she had, trying to make sure they weren't rare editions from a famous design house. When nothing turned up, Amy Jo felt free to use paint and stencils to turn these chairs into something that would look great in her living room. Now she has super comfortable occasional chairs with a pretty painted design that suits her home.

Alaska e-Post online
Click on Image to Enlarge
Soldiers of the 95th Chemical and 545th Military Police companies capped off the two-week Operation Delta Dragon exercise by testing their tactical know-how during 24-hour operations Sept. 20 to 26 at Fort Greely.
The skills test came on the heels of four days of nonstop training missions dealing with mock chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats in various areas on Fort Richardson Sept. 15 through 19.
For the newly activated MP unit, the training was invaluable, said platoon leader, 2nd Lt. Jared Budenski, 2nd Platoon, 545th MP. It was the unit's first field training exercise since being activated in August.
"When you have the opportunity to train with other Soldiers from other specialties, it makes you have a thorough understanding of accomplishing the mission," Budenski said. "Stepping out of our comfort zone of the military police allowed us to show how proficient our Soldiers truly are."
The scenario behind the exercise called for 95th Chem. to support the National Society of Environmental Engineers as it analyzed where to place a landfill on Fort Richardson, said Capt. Julia A. Dorans, 95th Chem. commander. The unit's role was to do reconnaissance, surveillance and decontamination of any chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.
Dorans said this training presented a true test of the Soldier's skills, because it not only employed all of the company's available reconnaissance, surveillance and decontamination assets — such as the Chemical Unmanned Ground Robot and Bio-integrated Detection System operations — but also incorporated their additional tactical role as a quick reaction force.
"Soldiers are more confident and capable in their abilities to provide CBRN defense and protection to other units," Dorans said. "They are also better prepared to protect critical assets in U.S. Army Alaska as the Homeland Defense Quick Reaction Force. I am proud to command such a fine group of Dragon Soldiers and look forward to testing their strength."
At Fort Greely, the 95th Chem. Soldiers reloaded to carry out training on security missions with the 545th MPs. Chemical and MP Soldiers trained side-by-side, evaluating squad-level missions, to include checkpoint operations, installation security, civil disturbance response and mounted patrols.
The companies practiced close-quarter marksmanship and weapons qualification daily to maintain proficiency on their weapons systems. On the final day of training, each platoon simulated a medical evacuation in a scenario in which an injured Soldier needed to be evacuated.

Americans have their traditions, especially when celebrating their country's birthday. They head outdoors, enjoy the sun at the beach, pool or park before throwing something on the grill. Then they settle down at dusk to watch fireworks.
Have fun, but stay skin safe. That means using sunscreen on all exposed areas. This includes those overlooked spots such as the ears, back of legs and tops of hands and feet.
The first step of a solar defense is purchasing a broad spectrum sunscreen. It should have a SPF of 30 or more and be water resistant. While the person who wears it may not be jumping in and out of the water or participating in water sports, people do sweat in the sun.
And there is no need to be frugal with the sunscreen. For an adult, at least an ounce is the proper amount for one application.
The second step is realizing that applying sunscreen once a day while outdoors is not enough. It needs to be reapplied every couple of hours, especially following a swim.
While makeup containing SPF protection might help a woman look attractive and offer some solar defense, it may not be enough by itself. Before a day of playing in the sun, it is suggested to apply an oil-free, lightweight sunscreen underneath makeup.
Another important tip is being familiar with one's skin and checking for any irregularities or unusual patterns such as new moles, skin spots or preexisting mole changes.
If any question arises as to a suspicious area, check in with a San Diego plastic surgeon that specializes in skin cancer and its removal.
Here in sunny San Diego, extra care should be taken with skin care safety to avoid premature aging, and above all, skin cancer. Still, more than three million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every year.
Remember to have fun, but be safe.
Happy 4th of July!

The animosity has reached another level. Before the Nets grabbed a pivotal Game 1 win against the Toronto Raptors, the Toronto general manager upped the ante.
In a fan rally staged outside of the Air Canada Centre, Masai Ujiri voiced his distaste for his budding rival.
"F--- Brooklyn!" Ujiri shouted in a sequence captured and posted on Instagram.
While Ujiri apologized for his choice of language, he did not retract his feelings. These two teams do not like each other, and Raptors swingman Terrence Ross said during the season that he hoped to face the Nets in the playoffs.
"You know how I feel," Ujiri said. "Thanks guys. I apologize for not taking any questions, but you know how I feel. I don't like 'em."
The Nets gave the Raptors everything they wanted in a 94-87 win. The Nets trailed by one with five minutes remaining in regulation, but Paul Pierce caught fire and finished the game with 15 points. Joe Johnson and Deron Williams tallied 24 points apiece in the win.
The venom illustrates the beauty of playoff basketball. After a month or so of what amounted to preseason basketball, the teams returned to a fierce style. Many that extended malaise affected the Nets' shooting, as they managed just 4-for-24 shooting from beyond the arc.
Both teams reveled in Ujiri's comments.
"I'm with him 100 percent. If he said f--- 'em, we all say f--- 'em," forward Amir Johnson said.
Kevin Garnett, who finished with five points and eight rebounds, understood the thrust and parry of postseason play.
"It's all good," Garnett said. "It's not our first time. I've been here before. I've read this book before. So it's nothing new. I love the Toronto fans. They're passionate. They love the Raptors and that's what's up."
Head coach Jason Kidd was less diplomatic, saying he did not know about the Toronto general manager.
"I don't even know who that is," Kidd said. "I could care less what they think about Brooklyn. We have a job to do, and that's to play the game of basketball."
The two teams return to action Tuesday night for Game 2. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 p.m.

President Obama may have declined to tour the southern border of the United States, now facing a flood of illegal immigrant children, but Texas Gov. Rick Perry has not proven to be so finicky, according to a Thursday story in the Washington Free Beacon. Obama has gotten a curious antipathy to photo ops. Perry took Fox News personality Sean Hannity and a camera crew with him. This has caused The Hill to suggest that Perry has become the leader of the opposition to Obama, at least over the immigration issue.
Perry took Hannity on a tour of the southern border by boat and helicopter. He was careful to note that he had warned the White House of the impending floor of illegal immigrants months before, apparently to no avail. He also gave an account of a meeting he had with the president about immigration when Obama was in Texas on a fund raising tour.
Perry asked the president to take a number of actions, including getting the FAA to grant permission to fly drones over the southern border and to deploy National Guard troops to buttress the Border Patrol. The president was not responsive to either request. However Perry holds out the hope that Obama will move seriously on border security at some point.
Perry, it should be noted, is said to be planning to run for president in 2016. His previous attempt to run, in 2012, was fraught with rhetorical missteps, including the notorious "oops" moment during a debate. Perry has ascribed those mistakes to lack of sleep brought on by a back injury he had recently sustained. His health problems are behind him and he is carefully setting the ground work to start a new campaign, raising money, making speeches, and networking. Also, unlike last time, Perry will be out of office and will thus be able to devote his full attention to running for president.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Radiosurgery, also called stereotactic radiosurgery, is a very precise form of therapeutic radiology. Even though it is called surgery, radiosurgery does not involve actual surgery. Rather, very focused beams of radiation (gamma rays, x-rays, or protons) are used to treat cancerous tissues without a surgical incision or opening.
Radiosurgery is called "surgery" because it is a one-session radiation therapy treatment that creates a similar result as an actual surgical procedure.
Radiosurgery works in the same manner as other types of therapeutic radiology: it distorts or destroys the DNA of tumor cells, causing them to be unable to reproduce and grow. The tumor will shrink in size over time. For blood vessel lesions such as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), the blood vessels eventually close off after treatment.
There are three types of radiosurgery. Each type uses different equipment and radiation sources. Radiosurgery types include:

College Hockey:Murray's last-minute goal brings Buffalo State back for tie with Morrisville
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It appeared Buffalo State was dead and buried, trailing Morrisville 3-0 with 15 minutes to go in the third period. Then, the Bengals put on a stirring comeback, scoring two power-play goals 39 seconds apart and tying the game with two seconds left in regulation.
Despite some strong rushes by both sides in the extra period, the score remained 3-3 at the final buzzer. The tie extended Buffalo State's unbeaten streak to eight games (6-0-2), tying a school record and becoming the third-longest active streak in the country.
"They found a way to finish it," Buffalo State coach Nick Carriere said. "Some great execution by our veterans and freshmen out there. We did a great job coming back. Showed some resilience. We're so young, we don't know any better. We just keep going."
"When you have the lead on the road, you are supposed to win those games," Morrisville coach Brian Grady said.
The comeback started when Morrisville got into penalty trouble, committing two infractions 12 seconds apart as the refs were calling it very close after the game started getting rough at the end of the second period.
During the two-man advantage, Buffalo State finally got one by Caylin Relkoff at 7:30. Justin Knee, standing unguarded in the perfect slot position, took the pass from Trevor McKinney and one-timed a blast glove side.
With a Mustangs player still in the box, the Bengals really got the home crowd excited 39 seconds later, cutting the lead to 3-2. Drew Klin, once again from an excellent position in front of the net, rifled it past Relkoff.
Suddenly, the 3-0 Morrisville lead was only 3-2, and there were still over 11 minutes to play.
Buffalo State pulled its goalie with 1:10 left, and after G.I. Main hit the post on a wide-open attempt at the empty net, Morrisville again took a crucial penalty with eight seconds left.
"We were undisciplined," Grady said of all the third-period penalties. "I think we panicked a little bit. We didn't play within ourselves. We got away from our game."
The Bengals won the faceoff, and very patiently moved the puck around looking for an open shot. Finally, Petriello had that shot from the middle of the blue line. Relkoff stopped it, but couldn't control the rebound. Sean Murray finally jammed it in with only two seconds left in regulation, sending the game to overtime.
"It was planned to get our senior defensemen up top," Carriere said. "We ended up winning the draw, and we got it to Nick and he found a way to get it through. The guys just mucked it out and found a way to get it in."
"At the end there, we had the right guy taking the face off," Grady said. "He was successful all game."
It didn't take long for Morrisville to score the first goal of the game. After Zach Hale was called for slashing 19 seconds into the game, the Mustangs capitalized at 55 seconds. Derek Matheson's shot from the left point was blocked in front by a defenseman's stick. However, the deflection went to the right side in close, where Geoff Matzel had the open near side to put it in.
At the midway point of the opening period, Matzel made it 2-0 when he whacked one in off the post from up close.
"I thought we played as well of a 20-minute period in the first period as we played all year," Grady said. "We moved the puck. We found open ice. We made plays. And we built the 2-0 lead."
Morrisville had some good opportunities during the second period, especially during an extended four-on-four. With less than two minutes to go, Rob Sgarbossa had a breakaway. However, Hale did a good job harassing him from behind, forcing Sgarbossa to go in too deep, and he was unable to make any sort of move on Kevin Carr.
Shortly afterward, Mike Connolly appeared to have a breakaway for Buffalo State on a quick turnaround at the blue line. However, a teammate could not get out of the zone in time, barely, and offsides was whistled.
Sgarbossa got the key goal to give Morrisville a 3-0 lead at 5:08 of the final period. After Bobby Cass' shot was saved, similar to the first goal, the rebound went off to the right side and from up close, Sgarbossa sent it into the unguarded near side.
However, the lead proved to be elusive as the Bengals refused to give up, scoring three power-play goals.
"A game like that makes it feel like a win for them and a loss for us," Grady said.
Carr made 31 saves while Relkoff stopped 34 shots.
Morrisville (4-3-1, 4-2-1) has another SUNYAC game this weekend; it travels to Fredonia Saturday night.
Buffalo State (6-2-2, 4-2-2) stays home, but for a non-conference game against Utica.

Hung Daddy
As we watch on the old man takes hold of that snake in his hand and jerks off while playing with his nipples. He looks so grandfatherly as he strokes his huge wang. You can just picture a nice old guy like this perhaps jerking off in his workshop to an old porn magazine.
There are loads more photos of this big cock grandpa at Hot Older Male. Treat yourself to a membership to see all of their nude mature men.
I was working for a cable company some years back and got a job to sort out some issues at a residence. Turns out the owner was a very elderly guy. He invited me in dressed only in pajama bottoms and white singlet. I didn't necessarily think that was all that odd for a guy of his age but the bulge showing definitely was!
As I started fixing his cable system he sat back down in his recliner. It was only after I finished I noticed he was absently rubbing his cock through his pajamas. I was extremely excited by this and straight out asked him if he was enjoying himself. He said "oh yes" and told me I had a nice ass.
I put my hand on his bulge and felt the firmness and warm of his old cock through the think fabric. "That feels like a big prick" I whispered to him as I continued stroking it. I helped him stand up and I knelt down before him so I was at eye level with his crotch. I undid the draw string of his pajama bottoms and slowly pulled them down to his knees. I was shocked by the huge thick tool that greeted me. It was massive! Both long and thick it was like horse dick!
I gently pulled him towards me and took as much of his cock into my mouth as I could fit. I sucked on it for an eternity and put my finger up his asshole while I was doing it. The hung grandpa seemed to lick it and moaned softly as I slurped away on the biggest prick I had ever seen.
I had to take a break after a while as my jaw was begging to hurt. I let him suck me off for a while but after a few minutes I wanted more. I maneuvered him into a 69 position of his couch and continued sucking away on that enormous meat pole. Finally he rewarded me with a few spurts of salty delicious man juice and I savored every drop till his balls were drained.
I gave him my card and told him to call anytime he had cable problems or wanted his huge tool taken of.
His large cock dangles tantalizingly between his powerful thighs and his soft crop of pubic hair frame it nicely. He doesn't look fully hard in these pictures but I am sure if I had a chance to take that frankfurt in my mouth I would have this hot daddy stiff quickly.
The full set of pictures and video of this big dick mature can be seen at Hot Older Male. I don't know how they do it but the consistently find the sexiest silver daddies for their site and they know how to film them in a way as older men admirers like to see them too.
Here's a hot little silver daddy fantasy story about this well endowed senior:
I met this nice older gentlemen one day when I was pulled over changing a flat tire. He saw me struggling with it in the rain and said I should come over to his house across the street as he had a compressor in the garage. I thought he was nice friendly old guy and didn't even consider anything remotely sexual even though I thought he was cute and charming.
We were drenched by the time we got inside his big double garage. He offered me a dry shirt and I accepted it. As I took my wet t-shirt off I noticed his eyes where all over me. I said he should get out of his wet clothes too and he was getting my drift. I watched him unbuckle his trousers and drop them to the ground. Next he dropped his old fashioned white y-fronts and my jaw nearly hit the floor along with his underwear. He had a huge cock! It was long and still wet and my heart began thumping with excitement. I wanted that huge juicy prick in my mouth!
I didn't bother with any coyness and moved straight over to him. I took his slick wet horse dick in my hand and stroked it telling him how beautiful it was. He said we go into his bedroom and I gladly followed. I told this sexy grandpa to lie back on the bed as I wanted to make to love to his long beautiful cock.
He was only slightly hard and I licked his member up and down. He told me it took him ages to get hard and that was more than okay by me. I loved the sensation of this huge soft dong in my mouth and I alternated sucking it and then his low hanging balls. I wondered how long I was gonna have to work on his delicious old dick before he rewarded my lips with a full load of mature man chowder.
Once I got him harder he wanted to stick it in my ass. I was a bit nervous as I had never had one that big but I did want him to fuck me. I got on my hand and knees and licked my asshole. His mustache tickled as he really got into eating my ass out. Then I felt the fat tip of his mighty cock enter me. I felt so good inside me and I watched in the mirror as this handsome grandfather fucked me doggy style.
I told him not to cum inside me as I wanted that load in my mouth. He agreed and after fucking me for what seemed like an eternity he said he was gonna blow. I was so much in cum lust for this poppy's cock I took his tool back into my mouth straight from my ass. I could taste it but didn't care as all I wanted was for this big dick to blow a hot cum load down my throat. As his fat cock head pushed against my throat I could taste precum. Then he moaned loudly and a thick salty flow of cum drenched my mouth.
We took a shower together and then went to finish fixing my tire. I was stunned when his wife drove up the drive way as we were working! I had assumed he was living there alone! It kind of added to just what a sexy gay encounter it was.
Anyway, as always, you can find the full photo set of this sexy daddy and his big uncut cock at Hot Older Male. Become a member and see all of their models. They have been filming silver daddies for a long time and their content always impresses.
Steam come off him as he soaped up his powerful torso. I watched as soapy water trickled down his hairy and muscled stomach and onto his big penis. I ran the shower in the stall two up from him and noticed his eyes on me too. As I washed myself he started soaping his cock up and I noticed he was getting hard.
I was young and nervous and wasn't sure if I should take this as an invitation or not haha. I smiled and stroked my own cock that was also getting hard. It was then he walked over to my stall and told me what a beautiful body I had. He asked if I liked what I saw and I said yes breathlessly. We went to his place after I dried off and I got to suck that big juicy cut cock. He was obsessed with my ass and he ate my asshole out with a lot of enthusiasm.

Canada: Holy Books Used for Cigarettes
Several prisoners in British Columbia, Canada used copies of the Bible to roll cigarettes and store contraband, according to the Vancouver Sun.
Prison services officials found that incidents of Bible desecration increased following a 2008 order that forbade prisoners to smoke. Most of the desecrated books had pages torn out to roll makeshift cigarettes.
Other books had holes carved out in order to store contraband items.
Prisoners in Canada are allowed to request a religious text of their choice, and can usually obtain a free Bible as well. However, Director of Operations for Corrections Terry Hackett said that those who misuse the books will have them seized as contraband.
The items most commonly seized as contraband included weapons, food and drugs. Prison officials also seized a variety of bizarre items, among them a new snow tire, a Nazi calendar, and a crab trap.

When dining and dancing under the tropical stars doesn't fit the vacation budget, setting your sights close to home can be just as much fun. Just to escape from the all too familiar for a single day is refreshing and visiting places you haven't been in years (or better yet never before) an adventure,
For instance, when was the last time you went on a real hike? Not somewhere looking down on roof tops and buildings but in a genuine Wilderness setting where you can believe you are far off from civilization? One is only a short drive from your door in the Lost Dutchman State Park, just outside of Apache Junction on Hwy #88.
In the middle of the Superstition Wilderness, rising up the mystical Superstition Mountains themselves, the Lost Dutchman Park offers a variety of trails from the short & easy to the vertical and hard. With the Superstitions the second most recognizable landscape in Arizona (preceded by only the Grand Canyon) any trail you select will be spectacular. Campgrounds are available if you wish to hear the coyotes howling under the stars yet even a few hours of wandering the Parks maintained trails leaves you reluctant to go back to the traffic and noise of the e cities.
What it will do is give you an appetite. By good fortune, just a short distance from the Park's gates is the road to the Mining Camp Restaurant with old fashioned, cook house flavor seldom tasted since the hey-day of the areas gold mining in the 1890s.
Established in 1961, the Mining Camp is an authentic replica of the cook shanties that fed rock hard miners - and in portions that would satisfy the hardiest of them. Today's diners sit at t he same long tables, served off tin platters of home roasted stuffed chicken in gravy, boiled ham, BBQ ribs, baked beans, coleslaw and the Camps famous fresh loaves. Each table has its own antique coffee pot which never goes empty and the dessert of the day piled high on the trays. Eat as much as you like for it will keep coming.
Nor do you have to get your own gold mine to pay the tab. Adults eat for $21.95 and Seniors over 60 for $18.65. The prices go down for kids - teens 13 thru 15 for only $13.95 with age groups and prices heading downhill until those 4 and under eat for free. If you prefer Steak or Prime Rib instead of all the fixings, it starts at $13.95. Even allowing for tax & gratuity, people waddle off happy and satisfied - enough that reviews consistently rate the Mining Camp four of five stars!
The Ming Camp's hours are Mon-Sat 4:00pm to 8:00pm with Sunday hours Noon to 8:00pm. You need no reservations (unless you are planning a large group or private banquet) but remember the Camp is a seasonal one, open only through November 1st to May 31st.
To get to the Mining Camp follow #60 east to the Idaho exit in Apache Junction and take a left towards where Idaho intersects with #88. Take a right on 88 towards Lost Dutchman State Park. Mining Camp Road is clearly marked and is just before both Goldfield Ghost Town and the Park entrance itself. The exact address is 6100 E. Mining Camp Road.
The Mining Camp may be reached by calling 480-982-3181 or visiting www.miningcamprestaurant.com for a directional map and complete information.

Eagle Release at Berkeley Plantation
July 27, 2011
A crowd of more than 1,000 eagle enthusiasts attended the release of five juvenile bald eagles at Berkeley Plantation, July 27, 2011. This release of rehabilitated eagles is the largest ever in the history of the Wildlife Center of Virginia (WCV). Three of the eagles were siblings rescued from the nest at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens (NBG) and are known worldwide from the Eagle Cam website.
All flew well, but one of the NBG eagles, the fourth one released, landed a short distance away, making it over the trees into a nearby field. Wildlife biologists with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) at the eagle release monitored the flights of all the birds. DGIF wildlife staff and wildlife veterinarians with WCV were prepared for this type of situation. The juvenile female was caught by Dr. David McRuer, wildlife veterinarian with WCV, and returned to a crate to rest.
It was determined that the bird would be returned to the Wildlife Center to build her strength in their 100-foot flight cage. Said McRuer, "She flew well, her wings look good, and her flight looked good, but she just got tired. This bird was the one we outfitted with a transmitter today so she was handled more than the other birds. We'll take her back to the Wildlife Center and let her practice her flying more in the flight cage."
Plans are to release her in the next couple of weeks. All of the other eagles released to the wild flew out of sight along the scenic stretch of the James River.

Landmark Trial Shows Potential of Low-Dose Computed Tomography for Lung Cancer Screening
By Joe Munch
The preliminary results of the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) show that lung cancer screening can be beneficial to people at high risk for the disease. However, questions remain concerning who should be screened and how often.
Specifically, the NLST found that over the course of the study, low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) offered a lung cancer–specific mortality reduction of 20.3% and an all-cause mortality reduction of 6.9% compared with standard chest radiography in people considered to be at high risk for lung cancer. The clinical practice implications of these and other findings from the trial may not be known for some time, however.
Reginald Munden, M.D., a professor in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, was the study's principal investigator at the institution.
"The trial provided a very rich repository of data, probably more data than we will ever be able to fully understand," Dr. Munden said. "Even though we are in the very early phases of understanding lung cancer screening, this trial is still the most significant thing that's ever happened in lung cancer because now we can detect a cancer early enough to cure somebody."
Still, Dr. Munden said, "The trial may have raised more questions than it answered."
Largest study of its kind
The NLST was a prospective randomized trial and the largest lung cancer screening trial to date, involving more than 30 institutions across the United States. When the NLST launched in 2002, it aimed to include 50,000 patients; more than 53,000 were enrolled within 18 months. Eligible participants were current or former smokers 55–74 years of age who had a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years and no history of lung cancer. (One pack-year is equivalent to 20 cigarettes smoked per day for a year.)
Participants were imaged at enrollment and annually for 2 years. Those in the study group underwent low-dose chest CT, while those in the control group underwent conventional chest radiography. In randomized trials, the control group typically gets the standard of care, but the standard of care in this case, Dr. Munden said, was to do no imaging. Chest radiography was performed in the control group because NLST researchers feared that not doing any imaging would cause some participants to drop out of the study. Although earlier trials had yielded no statistically significant data supporting the use of chest radiography for lung cancer screening, some researchers had interpreted those findings differently, saying that the benefit of screening with chest radiography, though small, was existent. Those researchers argued that radiographic screening of the control group could therefore obscure the true benefit of CT in the study group.
Even so, Dr. Munden said, "It's probably better that we did chest radiographs in the control group because even if it has a benefit, we've far exceeded that with CT."
Who should be screened?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved CT for lung cancer screening. Although the NLST's findings may change that, in the meantime, teams of researchers are scrambling to determine which populations are most likely to benefit from the screening protocol.
"It's extremely important that we screen people who are truly at risk for lung cancer," Dr. Munden said.
Yet opinions of what constitutes high risk can vary widely. Right now, the question of who should be screened—other than those meeting the criteria of the NLST—is open for interpretation.
For example, "We know that there's a huge group of head and neck cancer survivors—long-term survivors—who smoke. They are at a much higher risk of developing lung cancer than a smoker who has never had head and neck cancer," Dr. Munden said. "That kind of person is someone I'd consider at high risk and would probably screen, but that's not the kind of person we screened in the trial."
Most researchers, Dr. Munden said, agree that individuals at high risk are those who have had heavy exposure to smoking and have lived long enough to develop lung cancer. Many researchers believe such a person is one who has a smoking history of 20 or more pack-years and is at least 50 years of age.
"Part of the issue is who not to screen as much as it is who to screen," Dr. Munden said. "What we do not want to do is screen a 40-year-old woman who has a casual or minimal smoking history, because the benefit does not justify the risk."
Chief among the screening procedure's risks is ionizing radiation exposure, which can increase a patient's lifetime risk of developing cancer. (The risk is higher in women because breast tissue, which is highly radiosensitive, also receives the most radiation from chest CT.) In the United States, the average annual exposure to ionizing radiation is about 3.1 mSv—half from natural sources and half from manmade sources, mostly diagnostic medical procedures. Diagnostic CT delivers up to 8 mSv. Low-dose CT, which was used in the NLST, delivers about 1.5 mSv. By comparison, a series of conventional chest radiographs delivers about 0.06 mSv. In older patients with a long history of smoking—such as those included in the NLST—the benefit of identifying a cancer at a treatable stage is more likely to outweigh the risk a small dose of ionizing radiation conveys.
In the absence of established screening guidelines, Dr. Munden said, physicians should rely on their experience and judgment in determining which patients are at high risk. "If you think a patient of yours has a significant risk of lung cancer based on some criteria that you're comfortable with, I encourage you to get the patient screened," he said.
Biomarker studies
In addition to undergoing CT or chest radiography, more than 10,000 trial participants—including those enrolled at MD Anderson—submitted sputum, blood, and urine specimens as part of the NLST's biomarker study. The goal of the biomarker study is to identify genetic differences between trial participants who developed lung cancer and trial participants who did not develop lung cancer. Although it is not yet under way, according to Dr. Munden, the biomarker study is integral to identifying the best candidates for lung cancer screening.
"To me, this will be the most important part of the trial," Dr. Munden said. "If you think about who should be screened for lung cancer, the answer's probably in a blood test that tells us this person has the genetic predisposition to develop lung cancer. That's the person we'll screen." However, Dr. Munden added, "We're not anywhere close to being there."
Lung cancer screening at MD Anderson
Dr. Munden and other faculty members—including Therese Bevers, M.D., a professor in the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention; Stephen Swisher, M.D., chair of and a professor in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery; and George Eapen, M.D., an associate professor in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine—are in the initial phases of establishing a lung cancer screening program at MD Anderson.
"We're not just going to screen people," Dr. Munden said. "We want to collect data that can help answer some questions down the road, so the program will have a clinical research component as well." He added that a smoking cessation program is offered as an integral part of the screening program.
The group has initiated the screening program at MD Anderson's main campus in the Texas Medical Center and plans to eventually implement the program at the institution's regional care centers. People aged 50 years and older with a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years are eligible. A physician referral is not required, Dr. Munden said, but patients must have a doctor who can be contacted in the event something is found. Physicians are encouraged to refer patients they believe to be at a high risk of developing lung cancer.
More questions
Dr. Munden said that the initial results of the NLST are expected to be published this summer. In the meantime—and for some time hereafter—NLST researchers will continue to grapple with the multitude of questions raised by the trial's findings.
"The bigger questions now are, who do we screen and when do we screen them? And how often do we screen them?" Dr. Munden said. "As we discover answers to these and other questions, lung cancer screening programs will help us improve people's health and save lives."
