Bestselling author Leslie Gould returns to her Courtships of Lancaster County" series with "Minding Molly."
Gould's previous books, "Courting Cate" and "Adoring Addie" were inspired by William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" and "Romeo and Juliet." This time it is "Midsummer's Night Dream" that gets an Amish spin.
Molly Zook has always been an in-control kind of girl. When her father dies and her mother suffers from health problems, everything seems out of control. The future of their family farm and plant business seems to be shaky, and her older half-brother wants to sell the land, leaving Molly, her mom and her sisters to move into town. Molly's mom has other plans - for her to marry Mervin Mosier, the neighbor, who has been having an on-and-off relationship with her best friend, Hannah. Molly might considering marrying Mervin if it weren't for Hannah - that is until she meets Leon Fisher, an Amish man from Montana working at a nearby ranch training horses. The two fall fast for each other, but is there any future for Molly with a man who will want to move away? A weekend camping trip in the Poconos with a chaparone seems to be in order for the couples and that is where everything will either come together or fall apart at last.
With its unique blend of Amish romance and Shakespeare-inspired drama, this is a story that will charm readers who might not normally go for Amish stories. There's plenty of warmth, humor, misunderstandings and romance!
"Minding Molly" is pubilshed by Bethany House. It is $14.99.
Roslind Lauer returns to her Lancaster Crossroads series in "A Simple Hope."
James and Rachel, a young Amish couple who were talking of marriage were in a car accident that changed their lives. James is now confined to a wheelchair, and his father seems to want him to stay there and not take up the Englisher treatments. Defeated, James begins to push Rachel away. They seem to be headed on a course apart until a runaway girl shows up. Shandell thought she was on a road trip with a friend, escaping her drunk stepfather and her distant mother. But the friend turned mean, and Shandell knows she must get away from him. Stopping at the Amish town so he can steal things, Shandell seizes her chance and hides from him with the help of a friend of James' and Rachel's. She calls her mom and begs for her help, but her mom won't be able to come for days. Shandell ends up hiding in a shack on James' property. Soon James and Rachel are drawn to help the Englisher girl - and possibly back to each other.
This is a sweet story of two young people trying to overcome tragedy and obstacles to make a new path in their life. James and Rachel are both sympathetic characters, as is Shandell. It was also nice to see a brief appearance of Elsie and Ruben, the main characters from the first book in the series.
"A Simple Hope" is published by Ballantine Books. It is $15 and 323 pages long.

SIKESTON -- While many people are already slipping into those warm tanning beds this spring, others are opting for a safer method of tanning that can give the same natural glow -- sunless tanning.
Improved versions of countless sunless tanning lotions are available at nearly every department store and some grocery stores.
"A lot of people like the all-over-the-body bronzer which is available in a spray or a lotion that comes in different tints of light, medium and dark," said Kathy Kelley, Estee Lauder consultant at Accent Shop in Sikeston.
Most of Kelley's customers prefer the lotion over the spray, she said. Face bronzers are also available, she said.
Kelley said Accent Shop is very busy selling the sunless tanning this year because Estee Lauder made a new and improved bronzer.
"And it doesn't turn you orange or streak," Kelley said, adding that "it doesn't stink, and it dries pretty quickly. The more you reapply, the darker you will get."
In addition to offering tanning beds, some tanning salons across the nation are also offering sunless tanning spray booths, where people can get the same bottle glow without even touching the bottle.
"We have people come in year-round for the sunless tanning, but we do get busier in the summer and around prom time," said Brandi Nine, front desk manager at Elan Day Spa and Esthetics in Cape Girardeau.
Each business is different and at Elan, a trained technician airbrushes the tanning solution onto customers, Nine said.
"It works naturally and reacts with the melanin of the person receiving the treatment," Nine explained. "Customers can wear their bathing suits or even go nude if they don't want a tan line."
Elan Day Spa using an FDA-approved tanning solution produces within 24 hours, a golden, natural-looking tan, Nine said. The tan lasts about a week to 10 days.
"We're averaging about 15 to 20 people a day who are getting the sunless tanning application," Nine noted.
Also known as sunless tanning lotions, the active ingredient in the tanning solution causes amino acids in the top layer of the skin to produce a tan -- just like the sun, but without the damage, Nine said. No dyes or colors are used, she added.
The active ingredient in sunless tanning lotions is dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar that interacts with dead cells in the skin's outer layer, staining the skin darker. The dead cells shed off over several days, the tan gradually disappearing unless the lotion has been absorbed.
"It's kind of like when you cut an apple and the apple starts to turn dark," explained dermatologist Kenneth Dempsey of Sikeston.
Dempsey agrees sunless tanning is a safe approach because it contains the DHA ingredient, however, it's very poor at sun protection, he added, which is why a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be worn daily.
And it's not just the fair complected people who use sunless tanning, either.
"We get a lot of people who lie in tanning beds but want to even out their tan so they buy the bronzer," noted Kelley. "And then there are others who don't want to use the sun at all and buy the bronzer."
Nine said the spa also sees a variety of people of all ages and complexions. From working women, retirees and teens those with fair complexions and people with dark complexions, more and more people are using sunless tanning, she said.
Some parents even call for Elan's teenage clients, asking about the safety of the tanning solution before booking an appointment for their child, Nine said. They'd rather spray them with a safe tanner than put them under a tanning bed, she said.
Nine suggested anyone who plans to receive sunless tanning to wear loose-fitting clothes, exfoliate well before receiving the application and not shower immediately after the application.
"These days, more people are thinking about their health," Nine said about the increased interest in sunless tanning. "And everyone is always pleased with the results."

Interior Department to Develop Plan for Offshore Renewable Energy
February 25, 2009
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced in early February that his agency will develop an offshore energy plan that includes both conventional and renewable resources. The Interior Department plans to assemble a detailed report on conventional and renewable offshore energy resources, with contributions from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Minerals Management Service, and other scientists within the department. The report will assess offshore energy resources and the potential impacts of developing those resources, and it will be due by the end of March.
Based on that report, the Interior Department will determine what information is lacking and will create a plan for gathering that information. That plan will be vetted in four regional meetings, allowing public input on how the Interior Department should move ahead to formulate a comprehensive offshore energy plan. The Interior Department oversees more than 1.7 billion acres on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), an area roughly as large as three-quarters of the United States.
The Interior Department will also expedite its rulemaking for renewable energy development on the OCS. The agency is behind schedule on issuing its final rulemaking, which was required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The rulemaking will guide the development of offshore energy sources such as wind, wave, and tidal power. Secretary Salazar says he intends to issue a final rulemaking "in the coming months." See the Interior Department press release.

Creating your own lightly scented waters and colognes is as easy as picking your favorite flower. Scented waters are some of the oldest toiletries created to stimulate, please and entertain our sense of smell. Ancient Egyptians used scented oils to perfume their bodies and lift their spirits. In the 10th century, the practice of oil distillation was perfected and the perfume industry took shape.
• Eau de Cologne
• Rosewater
• Quick and Easy Rosewater
• Lavender Water Voile
• Summer Garden Cologne
• Hungary Water Cologne
Scented oils are simple to create. You can distill your scent, capturing the essential oils from fresh flower petals on your stovetop. Or you can mix your favorite essential oils with water to create a light and delicate scent. Use these scented products alone as a perfume or as an addition to your favorite bath or beauty recipe. Fresh rosewater makes a wonderful addition to a favorite cream and lavender water can be splashed all over your body after bathing to relax your spirit and refresh your body.
Always use fresh, organic blooms when making scented waters and colognes. Your flowers should be free of pesticides and chemicals. If you do not have any flowers in your garden, check with a local grower. Pick your flowers in the morning, about two to three hours after sunrise for best results. Blossoms that have been in the hot afternoon sun may not be as fragrant. Use only fresh petals and remove all leaves and stems. Wash your petals gently right before using. Here are a few simple recipes and techniques to get you started. Enjoy!
The creator of the famed Eau de Cologne is a mystery. It was invented in Cologne, Germany, in 1709 by one of two Italian distillers (who may have been related): Paolo Feminis or Giovanni Maria Farina, with a recent discovery pointing to Feminis. The term is now a generic name for scented formulas that are light, and typically 2 percent essential oil.
Don't have time to whip up our recipes? You can still have essential oil fragrances with these Herb Companion picks.
• Aveda, Ancient Attar, $70
• Aubrey Organics, Ocean Waters, $21.50
• CB I Hate Perfume, In the Summer Kitchen, $60
• Rosewater and lavender water are wonderful facial toners.
• Pour scented water into your bath as you fill the tub; you also can sprinkle a few fresh flower petals into your bath.
• Mix up a light cleanser for sensitive skin using 1/2 cup scented water, 1/4 cup whole milk and 2 tablespoons baking soda. Massage the cleanser into damp skin and rinse well. Store any leftover cleanser in your refrigerator.
• For a lighter summer lotion, stir a tablespoon or two of scented water into your favorite cream or lotion.
• Spray scented water or cologne onto your bed sheets for sweet dreams.
• Mist your hair with scented water before going out.

Cat's Cradle Science Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Frank gave me a straight answer. He snapped his fingers. I could see him dissociating himself from the causes of the mess; identifying himself, with growing pride and energy, with the purifiers, the world-savers, the cleaners-up. (109.2)
The novel's satirical notion of how scientists manage to disassociate themselves from their mistakes. Here, Frank gave "Papa" the ice-nine, but he doesn't see himself in any way responsible for the problem. Instead, he only sees another problem to solve. Then again, it is Frank we're talking about.

Find A Home Air Duct Cleaning Service
With a growing awareness of indoor air pollution and the subsequent rise in popularity of air filters, purifiers, and cleaners, many home owners consider cleaning their HVAC(heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)systems' air ducts. Approximately 70 percent of American households currently have air conditioning systems, though knowledge of air duct maintenance and cleaning is still in its early stages. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has offered a guide for homeowners to determine when, how and why they should clean their air ducts.
Why Clean Your Home's Air Ducts?
There are several signs that a home's heating and cooling air duct system may need maintenance. Several may affect the health and wellbeing of the home's occupants, and should be addressed as soon as noticed. You should consider cleaning your air duct system if:
- Mold growth is visible inside the air duct system, or other components of your heating and cooling systems. Not all parts of your air ducts may be visible, so ask a service provider to inspect the system for you
- Air ducts are infested with rodents or other vermin
- Air ducts are clogged with debris, such as dust, dirt or building material. If left in the air ducts, these particles may be released into your home when the heating or cooling system is used
- You have noticed a decrease in your heating or cooling system's efficiency. While it is not a guarantee, cleaning your air ducts may improve efficiency
While the EPA does not state that regular air duct cleaning is necessary, it does encourage home owners to undergo air duct cleaning and maintenance when needed. Further, some HVAC service providers may offer a chemical biocide application to the air ducts, designed to discourage the growth and survival of bacteria within the air duct system. Currently, research has not demonstrated biocides to be effective in air duct cleaning or maintenance, though they may be applied when deemed appropriate, as no evidence currently suggests adverse health effects. Should you choose to employ a chemical cleaning process, consider the following:
- Ask a service provider to demonstrate evidence of bacterial growth
- Ask the service provider to explain why the growth cannot be removed by physical means, and requires the use of chemicals
- Ask to see the biocide label, where its approved uses will be described
- Only apply biocide to un-insulated areas of the air duct system
- Always use the biocide according to directions
How To Choose An Air Duct Cleaning Service Provider
To find local air duct service providers, check the yellow pages or an online directory service for "air duct cleaning", or contact the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. When selecting a service provider to maintain and clean your home's air duct system, there are several aspects to look for or avoid:
- Do not buy into service providers' claims of health benefits from duct cleaning. The EPA states there is no current evidence to support this claim
- Avoid the use of chemical cleaning processes or chemical biocides unless or until you fully understand the risks and potential benefits
- Verify references from former customers to ensure the service provider was professional and effective. You can also contact the Better Business Bureau to view any complaints lodged against the service provider
- Confirm that the service provider holds all necessary state licenses to perform maintenance on your air duct system
- Request an estimate of the time and cost for your home's air duct cleaning
What To Expect From an Air Duct Cleaning
Once you have selected a service provider, you should expect:
- Open access for the service provider to all of your home air duct's ports and doors
- A thorough inspection of the entire air duct system by the service provider
- Use of HEPA (high-efficiency particle air) vacuum equipment to clean the air duct system
- Protection of your home's carpet and furnishings during the air duct cleaning process
- Thorough brushing of the air ducts. The service provider should only use soft-bristled brushes on fiberglass duct board and sheet metal ducts lined with fiberglass
- Re-sealing of all access ports or holes used during the cleaning process
- Cleaning process should follow all guidelines set by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association
How To Determine The Quality Of Your Air Duct's Cleaning
Once your service provider has completed the cleaning process, run through this EPA checklist with them to ensure the quality of their work:
1. Was the entire air duct system cleaned?
2. Did the service provider thoroughly demonstrate the cleanliness of the air duct system?
3. In your home's heating system, is the heat exchange surface visibly clean?
4. In your home's cooling system, are both sides of the cooling coil visibly clean?
5. If you shine a flashlight through the cooling coil, is light visible on the other side? (A flashlight should shine through a thoroughly clean cooling coil)
6. Are the coil fins straight and even?
7. Is the coil drain pan clean and draining properly?
8. Are the blower blades clean and free of oil and debris?
9. Is the blower compartment free of visible dust and debris?
10. Is the return air plenum free of visible dust and debris?
11. Do filters fit properly?
12. Is the supply air plenum free of moisture stains and contaminants?
13. Are interior ductwork surfaces free of debris? (Be sure to check several sites at random to ensure the entire system is clear)
14. Were all fiberglass surfaces left in good condition?
15. Were all newly installed access doors in sheet metal secured by more than duct tape?
16. Is there air leakage from any of the access doors when the heating or cooling system is running?
17. Have all registers, grilles and diffusers been firmly reattached to the walls, floors and/or ceilings?
18. Are the registers, grilles and diffusers visibly clean?
19. Does the system function properly after having been cleaned?
How To Maintain Your Air Duct System
In between cleanings, one of the easiest ways to prevent further damage and contamination is to properly maintain your air duct system.
- Use high efficiency air filters
- Change filters regularly
- Replace any missing or damaged filters immediately
- Have a service provider clean cooling coils and drain pans whenever they inspect your heating or cooling system
- Do not operate heating or cooling systems during home construction or renovation which produces excess dust and debris
- Remove dust and dirt from your home frequently
- Quickly repair any damages to the air ducts
- Make sure all ducts are properly sealed
Through basic maintenance and proper cleaning, air ducts within your home heating and cooling systems will function properly, efficiently and require less care. By following simple checklists for service providers and properly maintaining your system in between cleanings, air duct cleaning and service can remain a relatively smooth process, elongating the life of your system and saving costs on repairs.

Tim "WindWalker" Crawford's journey with the Native American Flute began in the spring of 1991, when, while camping with muzzleloading shooting friends, north of Mt. McKinley, Crawford was lent a tape, Earth Spirit, recorded by R. Carlos Nakai to listen to. He fell asleep in his tipi that night, with his headphones on, listening to the wonderful music, which played the whole night through. The next morning the same friend who lent him the tape showed him a Native American Flute that he had built; as it turned out that the friend had actually built two Native American Flutes he sold one to Tim who simply wandered off into the woods, found a stump to sit upon, and began his Native American Flute Playing journey.
Since that beginning "WindWalker" has performed on five albums of music of the Native American Flute: Shadows (1992), Guardian Spirits (1993), Mystic Visions (1994), Hear My Heart (1995) and the latest release, his first solo album, on his own label (WindWalker), Voices, (1998).
Live performance venues, both inside and out of doors, have included Folk Festivals, Coffee Houses, Cafes, Book Stores, Flute Gatherings and Record Stores.
"WindWalker" has also written a book on the Native American flute, entitled: FLUTE MAGIC, An Introduction To The Native American Flute (1997), edited by Dr. Kathleen Joyce-Grendahl, that covers history, designs, Flute Music Tablature and a number of songs for both the five and six hole flute (all 12 of the songs on VOICES have sheet music in the FLUTE MAGIC book.)
In addition, "WindWalker's" music has appeared or has been featured on a number of video's with the most recent being the video documentary Steinauer Nebraska (1997).
Tim "WindWalker" Crawford, 57, has resided in Anchorage, Alaska for over thirty years. He is a member of the International Native American Flute Associations, the Arizona and Oregon Flute Circle, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), an associate member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), and is presently represented by BMI. In 1994, 1995, and 1998 Crawford attended a week long workshop on the Native American Flute, hosted by the world-renowned recording artist R. Carlos Nakai. In 1996, Crawford attended a Music Production Workshop at Berklee College of Music.

The Marin Independent Journal is the main newspaper of Marin County, California. The paper is owned by California Newspapers Partnership which is in turn mostly owned by MediaNews Group.[1]
The Independent Journal was formed from the merger of the Marin Journal and the San Rafael Daily Independent in 1948. The weekly Journal, one of the state's oldest newspapers, had been established in 1861 as the Marin County Journal. The Journal was published in San Rafael on Saturdays by Jerome A. Barney.[2] The Independent had been started by Harry Granice in 1900 as the weekly San Rafael Independent, which became a daily by 1903 under the management of his daughter, Celeste Granice Murphy. The merged paper was originally called the San Rafael Independent-Journal.[3][4]
Gannett acquired the paper from the Brown family in 1980. MediaNews Group acquired the paper from Gannett in 2000.
The "hot-tubber" incident[edit]
In 2002, former President George H. W. Bush described "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh as "some misguided Marin County hot-tubber."[5] His comment prompted criticism among readers of the Marin Independent Journal, until Bush sent the paper a letter of apology:
- Call off the dogs, please. I surrender...I apologize. I am chastened and will never use 'hot tub' and 'Marin county' in the same sentence again.[5]
Staff of the Marin Independent Journal have won the following recent awards:

Your using the SPC theme IIRC. Have you installed the newest update
dated 02/13/2008?
Which icons had you added to the menu bar besides the stock menu
buttons? I used to pile a few on that bar in Tb, but found I was not
using them, so stopped the practice. So I have not seen this, but your
comment hints that one of your extensions is acting up.

Honda tries to regain some of the ground it lost to its competitors, notably Toyota, with its first sub 5 lakh small car, Brio. A couple of hits and misses have earned the vehicle a mixed response so far.
Honda's first foray into sub 5 lakh segment is certainly not as it would have hoped. Honda Brio falls short of expectations.
Impressive power-to-weight ratio
Easy maneuverability
Good Interiors
Missing climate controls, rear defogger and driver seat adjustment
Tacky drive on uneven roads
What people like
Price below five lakhs is definitely a plus point for the sweet looking Brio. It has an impressive power-to-weight ratio and a majestic i-VTEC engine. The interiors, gearshift, easy maneuverability and light controls make in-city commuting easy.
What people frown at
The ride quality is unimpressive on imperfect roads. Basic equipment like CD player, rear defogger and driver seat adjustment is missing. Some people complain rain water enters car interiors even when water is not high enough.
The boot is tiny and has capacity of only 175 liters. The list of misses goes on, the rear design is wacky.
On top of that, the rear seats are too short and cramp back-seat passengers. The missing climate controls are definitely a turn-off, as in case of most other Honda cars. The CVT Automatic transmission is missing as well, so the list of misses becomes even longer.
Honda insists that Brio has successfully cleared Japanese crash tests. It must be noted that Japanese standards are more rigorous than even the European ones.

How to Play Rough with Carl Icahn
It's been a busy few days for Carl Icahn's investments. On Friday, the billionaire investor made a $10 billion takeover bid for Clorox, an effort to push the company in play and juice his 9.4% stake in the company.
And today, Forest Labs urged its investors to reject Icahn's effort to land his own director candidates on the drug company's board.
In a classic Icahn attack, last month he disclosed plans to nominate four replacements to Forest's directors, and said he was concerned about Forest Labs' stock price, loss of patent protection to its Lexapro drug and the company's troubles with the feds. Icahn owns about 7% of Forest's stock.
Speculation naturally turned to whether Icahn would push Forest onto the auction block — a tactic he has successfully used before with healthcare companies. Icahn crossed swords with companies such as ImClone and Genzyme, grumbled loudly enough to launch his own candidates to the boards, and rubbed his hands as the companies were sold, sometimes with Icahn's assistance.
If Icahn is hoping for the same luck with Forest Labs, it may be a tough slog.
Today Forest Labs said after careful review, it would like to say "hell no" to Icahn's proposed director candidates.
"We have concluded that his four candidates are far less qualified than our slate," Forest said in a letter to investors. "Mr. Icahn has offered no plan or strategy for the Company…Instead, he has offered baseless criticism of the Board's handling of the federal investigation into the Company's marketing practices and its resolution."
Well, we're glad to see everything is so amicable.
It turns out that the "hell no" approach has worked before to parry the sudden appearance of Carl Icahn on a company's stock holder list. Mentor Graphics, one recent target of Icahn's ire, recently told Icahn to stuff his gripes about the company, and stuff his $1.91 billion takeover offer. With nary a peep, Icahn hasn't come back.

Bambi and Nemo have something in common: Alexander Gould.
The 11-year-old did the voice for Nemo in Finding Nemo and Bambi in Bambi II, the new Disney sequel coming out on DVD and video Feb. 7.
Bambi II will play on the big screen Saturday as part of the 22nd annual KidFilm Festival/Dallas. And Alexander will meet fans afterward.
Bambi is a lot like Nemo, Alexander says on the phone from Los Angeles. Both lose their mothers. And "they're both stories about the character wanting to prove to his father that he can do better."
Last summer Alexander filmed How To Eat Fried Worms in Austin. The movie opens this August.
Did he have to eat any worms?
"Luckily, I didn't," he says. "But they weren't really worms, anyway. They were this gelatin substance."

OAKLAND — Warriors general manager Larry Riley acknowledged with playful reluctance that he's 64 years old. He's been in the league for decades and around the sport even longer.
So, he's bona fide old school. Which is why he has no problems with competition. He is likely to create some on his roster with the No. 7 pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
Riley, in a session with the local media Monday, said the Warriors are likely to draft either a point guard or a power forward, with the discussion centering mostly on Davidson guard Stephen Curry and Arizona big man Jordan Hill. A selection at either position would create interesting roster decisions this offseason and, if a point guard is drafted, perhaps the need for some smoothing over with guard Monta Ellis.
Drafting Hill would create a logjam at power forward, as Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph are penciled in as the starter and backup. Drafting a point guard might spell the end of the Warriors tenures of Jamal Crawford and C.J. Watson. It also might put some pressure on Ellis to speed his development at the position.
"We look forward to the day that we get our running game down, and we cut our turnovers," Riley said. "And Curry is one of those guys who I think will grow into a low-turnover player. Now is that proven? No, that's a projection on my part. But he has a savvy, a certain understanding about the game."
Behind Oklahoma's Blake Griffin, who's expected to go No. 1 overall to the Los Angeles Clippers, Hill is the power forward who best fits the Warriors' style of play, Riley said. He said they could draft a power forward other than Hill, but that would be a reach at No. 7.
If the Warriors draft Hill — who, after his workout earlier this month at the team's facility, said coach Don Nelson told him the Warriors would take him if he's available — it would give them three young, athletic and inexperienced power forwards. No matter, Riley said.
"We took power forwards the last (two) years," Riley said. "So at that point, you throw them out there and let them compete and see who can rise to the top. And then you continue to develop the younger players. I don't know who will come out of that scramble with most of the playing time, but the reality is that if you (draft Hill), somebody's probably not going to play much."
If the Warriors select a point guard, Ellis might feel some heat. Riley said a priority is becoming a better passing team and to reduce turnovers. Ellis, in growing to be a point guard, figures to struggle early in those areas.
Riley said he and Nelson went to Memphis earlier this month to "get on the same page" with Ellis. Riley said management communicates with all of its players but visited Ellis because he "was one of the most important ingredients in our team."
It was rumored that the Warriors visited Ellis to talk him off his trade demand and promise him they wouldn't draft a point guard. But Riley said Ellis has never demanded a trade and that the Warriors are heavily considering drafting a point guard.
"I can't speak to what happened before I moved to the front office (in May)," Riley said. "But since I've been there, he has never come to me and said, 'I want to be traded.'""
Riley said Ellis was assured he is a major part of the team. He was told they expected him to be a leader and to play some 40 minutes per night, and also that he was going to have to improve his point guard skills.
"I don't think he could be a full-time point guard," said Nelson, who followed Riley in the media gathering. "No, I think he can be a guard, and I want to steer him in the direction of maybe making more plays for the other guys, understanding that the approach is more than just to score the ball.
"You've got to take care of your teammates a little bit more and have a feel for that as a player. It doesn't matter if he's a point guard or a (shooting guard)."
Riley said the Warriors have settled on four point guards they'd be willing to draft, two of whom he expects to be gone by the time the Warriors are on the clock. Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio is widely expected to be a top-five pick. Curry, many think, also could go in the first six picks. Riley wouldn't provide names, but the two remaining point guards figure to be from among Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday and Jonny Flynn.
While Ellis figures to be the starting point guard heading into training camp, management has consistently acknowledged his need for improvement and that he's not a true point guard. Riley said he'd hope a little pressure from behind would motivate Ellis.
So, come Thursday, either Ellis or Randolph and Wright will be under the gun. And Riley said he's fine with that.

Two volumes, one on the stomach, the other on the duodenum, are the first part of a complete work on the digestive tract being produced by the Faculty of Medicine of Paris. The three collaborating authors are leaders in France in the surgical, medical and roentgenologic specialties. The work is essentially an atlas of roentgen-ray diagnosis of the stomach and duodenum. Brief notes are given in the earlier chapters concerning such items as the technic of roentgen-ray exposures, preparation of the patient, and the materials employed. Each print is accompanied with a concise statement and a line diagram. There are 400 roentgen-ray films, each one carefully explained by diagram. Most of the cases illustrated have been proved either by operation or at necropsy. The normal as well as the pathologic has been handled with great care and precision. Among the most interesting questions considered and handled at some length are

I posted a while ago about Netflix encroaching on HBO (and cable generally) territory by jumping into the licensing of original content. The move raised questions because Netflix's core competency isn't making bets on unproven programming, a different skill set than finding creative methods of distribution. I ran across an interesting interview with Reed Hastings, and excerpt a part below.
My reading of this is that the move to license House of Cards was a message to HBO and the content/distribution companies generally. The content/distribution conglomerates have publicly complained about licensing content to Netflix, seen as enabling households to cut the cable cord. The message by Netflix is either license us your content and Netflix and MVPD can both cooperatively win by staggering the viewing of content (cable with originals, Netflix streaming after DVD release) or don't license us your content and force us to have to compete more directly against you by becoming distributors of original content. The effect in the latter scenario is to bid up the price of original content and to increase churn of both Netflix and the traditional MVPD players. In other words, mutually assured destruction.
The game theory at play in the new content industry has the feel of Cold War-style proxy fighting — sending early diplomatic messages to avoid all-out war.
Excerpt from Charlie Rose interview as transcribed in BusinessWeek.
Tell me about Netflix's move into original content.
When HBO (TWX) does original content, they're real creative. They do scripts, they cast people, they own it on a global basis. What we did is we licensed the premiere from another studio, Media Rights Capital, that's creating a show called House of Cards. David Fincher is directing it, Kevin Spacey's starring in it, and like The Office, it's a remake of a British success. And that's what is characterized as original content, because it's going to be exclusive on Netflix. It's coming out next fall.
Should HBO be worried?
In some ways. We're like baseball, and they're like football. We have no overlap in content, but we sell to the same person, the same aficionados are passionate about our products. But I don't think the NFL worries about baseball encroaching on their territory.
With this platform, aren't you going to be inclined to want to create content, not just license it?
Well, we're inclined to do things that are profitable for us. [HBO has] an incredible competence that we don't have in creative, and in figuring out what's going to be popular. We can be a licensor of prior seasons from Showtime, HBO, and others and be very successful, so that's our current ambition.

It was a great idea "... until the children started howling.
Sara Olsher-Ng thought she solved the dilemma of balancing daily mothering duties with trying to run a home-based business: a shared nanny with someone in a similar position. There was only one problem.
"The nanny brought the other little boy over, and when I started working in the other room, all I heard was screaming," says the Oakland resident, who has her own product illustration business. "The nanny had a child under each arm, and both were screaming. The boy was jealous because she was holding my daughter, and my daughter was upset because she didn't know the nanny and knew I was still in the house. I was paying this woman to come take care of my baby and, instead, had to spend my time holding my screaming daughter."
The nanny experiment ended after four days.
Olsher-Ng is what's known in parenting circles as a WAHM: A work-at-home mom. But actually, the trend includes both moms and dads, and both have their share of challenges.
Technology allows more people to skip going to an office, allowing some parents to attempt balancing family and work at the same time. For good reason. A 2010 USA Today story, citing census data from 1979 to 2008, said parents' work hours during that time have increased in two-parent families by 12 percent and in single-parent families by 23 percent. Which translates to parents having less time with kids if they work in a company office.
But the expectation of doing both at the same time isn't always what it's cracked up to be.
"I think I was in denial about how difficult it would be," says Olsher-Ng, who has an 11-month old daughter. "People tried to tell me, and I just thought they were being mean. (My daughter) has radar. It's like, 'You can't use a spoon, but you know to wake up from a nap just when I'm getting into a (work) groove.'"
A recent study by TheBump.com and Forbes Woman showed that, while 92 percent of working moms are stressed out, 89 percent of stay-at-home moms feel the same way.
Parents say much of the stress comes from trying to give both work and kids enough time, especially when children are used to getting attention when mom is around.
"I use the rewards system," says Nina Clark, who lives in Orinda and teaches online political science classes for UC Berkeley while raising a 14-year-old girl, an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. "'If you let me do this, I'll make you an ice cream sundae.' I think it's good for them to see me doing something other than cooking dinner or scooping the cat box."
Finding quiet time
"The biggest problem is having quiet time," adds Clark, whose husband spends Monday through Thursday each week working in Los Angeles. "Getting time (to work) and having the presence of mind to read these essays and make thoughtful comments. The singular focus is what I miss the most."
Greg Terry has managed a work/parent balance from his Tracy home for a decade with his four kids, ages 11, 9, 7 and 4. He says any stress he feels is more than made up for by not having to commute every day.
"When the kids were younger, it was tough," says Terry, a national account manager for Villa Lighting. "In the past I had a quick finger for the (phone) mute button. I could have an entire conversation and only have said five words. People thought I was a good listener."
Experts say whether parents can successfully work from home depends on a simple concept: happiness.
"The luxury of making your own hours and being able to see your child throughout the day is a big plus," says Dr. Francine Lederer, a Southern California psychologist and life transitions specialist who deals with family issues. "However, if your job is highly stressful and has a lot of deadlines, parenting a child who doesn't want to take a nap can't possibly be fun for parent or child. In the end, a parent's multitasking abilities and what kind of child you have will determine the likelihood (of success)."
"I figured that as long as I was with them while I worked, sitting close by, chatting and generally being physically present, that it would be enough," says Katie Kavulla, a freelance writer who contributes to the San Francisco-based family website Red Tricycle. "It's not. They are tuned in enough to figure out that I'm not fully engaged with them, and that makes them upset."
Positive psychology
Kavulla, whose children are ages 6, 3 and 15 months, has adjusted through negotiation with her three children. That and bribery.
"They've benefitted from far too many Popsicles already this summer," she says. "You have to stick to what you say. If I tell them that we'll go to the park or that I'll be done working after 'Curious George' is over, I have to stick to it. Otherwise, they start not to trust me and start to resent the fact I'm working."
If a parent is just going through the motions with kids, they might as well be in an office, says Bob Pothier, the CEO of Hapacus, a company that trains people based on positive psychology.
"If a parent is working from home but creating a negative atmosphere that is translating into a negative relationship, then it's not worth it," he says. "It would be better to be absent for eight hours and return home with the mind set and energy to build a positive relationship."
Here are some tips from parents and family experts on working from home while raising kids:
Space issue: Create a practical work space and plan "office" hours.
Plan ahead: Streamline and organize how you do things before starting to work from home so you won't waste time.
Noise factor: Use email as much as possible, rather than phone calls, which can suffer from too much background noise.
Pace yourself: If possible, take maternity (or paternity) leave and slowly work back into the flow of work.
Plan B: Put aside money for day care and have a plan in case juggling kids and work occasionally becomes too much.
Teamwork: If possible, set up an "exchange" with another stay-at-home parent, to watch each other's kids. Also, join a parents' group for support.

This page has for many years urged the local football team to change its name. The term "Redskins," we wrote in 1992, "is really pretty offensive." The team owner then, Jack Kent Cooke, disagreed, and the owner now, Daniel M. Snyder, disagrees, too. But the matter seems clearer to us now than ever, and while we wait for the National Football League to catch up with thoughtful opinion and common decency, we have decided that, except when it is essential for clarity or effect, we will no longer use the slur ourselves. That's the standard we apply to all offensive vocabulary, and the team name unquestionably offends not only many Native Americans but many other Americans, too.
We were impressed this week by the quiet integrity of Mike Carey, who recently retired after 19 seasons as one of the NFL's most respected referees. As recounted by Post columnist Mike Wise, Mr. Carey asked the league not to assign him to officiate any Washington games and, since 2006, the league granted his request. He never made any announcement about it. "It just became clear to me that to be in the middle of the field, where something disrespectful is happening, was probably not the best thing for me," Mr. Carey said.
We don't believe that fans who are attached to the name have racist feeling or intent, any more than does Mr. Snyder. But the fact remains: The word is insulting. You would not dream of calling anyone a "redskin" to his or her face. You wouldn't let your son or daughter use it about a person, even within the privacy of your home. As Post columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote last year, "I wouldn't want to use a word that defines a people — living or dead, offended or not — in a most demeaning way."
What we are discussing here is a change only for editorials. Unlike our colleagues who cover sports and other news, we on the editorial board have the luxury of writing about the world as we would like it to be. Nor do we intend to impose our policy on our readers. If you write a letter about football and want to use the team name, we aren't going to stop you.
But as Mr. Carey noted, every time the R-word is used, something disrespectful is happening. We hope Mr. Snyder and the NFL will acknowledge that truth sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we'll do our best not to contribute to the disrespect.
