LOS ANGELES - And on the final night of the trip, they showed some mental toughness, along with some dumb luck.
The Nets' Western excursion concluded with their most impressive performance of the trip -- even though they blew a 12-point lead with five minutes left -- as they come home with a three-game winning streak after holding off the Los Angeles Lakers, 102-100, at Staples Center.
Richard Jefferson had another virtuoso game with 27 points, while Jason Kidd posted a preposterous line (15 points, seven boards, 14 assists, eight turnovers), but it was the defense Kidd and Antoine Wright played on Kobe Bryant for 3½ periods that allowed them to build a cushion that somehow held up to Kobe's predictable closing kick.
Though the most timely defense of the night was played by the rim, which denied Bryant's bid to tie the game at the foul line with six seconds left, after he had converted 15 in a row.
Regardless, the Nets earned this one, and continued to respond to their captain's annual snit with grit.
"J-Kidd said it best - I wouldn't disagree when he said our team had a glass jaw about a week ago," said Jefferson, whose team rallied from 14 down in the second period. "Teams would hit and we would just fall down. I think guys have stepped up and taken the challenge, and we're showing more fight."
This game was a prime example of it, a game which Boki Nachbar called, "Our biggest win of the season, for sure."
But just barely.
Trailing 98-97 in the final minute, the Nets went to Jefferson, but the play broke down, and a force by Sean Williams (six points, seven boards, three blocks) was rejected by Andrew Bynum. Nachbar got the rebound, however, and went right up to draw the foul. His two from the line gave the Nets the lead.
Forgoing the timeout, Bryant brought it up against Kidd and took a 20-foot fadeaway that rimmed out. Vince Carter grabbed the rebound with 12 seconds left, was fouled five seconds later, and knocked both down to provide a three-point cushion with 7.2 to play.
That's when the Lakers caught a break: Bryant caught the next inbounds pass and went up as Kidd grabbed him, and he was rewarded with three free throws.
"It's a tough call for the officials, that's one that's always on me," said Lawrence Frank, referring to the quick foul to prevent the tying, 3-point bid. "This is what we believe in, so you roll the dice. That was a call they made, so you live with it."
Bryant, an 85-percenter from the line, hit the first two.
But the third atttempt bounced out to allow the Nets to keep a one-point edge.
Nachbar also hit one of two with 3.8 seconds left, so the Lakers still had a chance to tie or win. But with Kidd denying Bryant, Jefferson was all over Vlade Radmanovic as he threw up a 3-point airball at the buzzer -- the end to a long and exhausting night.
The Nets were in a 49-37 hole at the half, but knew they only had to hold onto the ball, as most of their 12 turnovers (six by the lob-happy Kidd) were unforced. But they had a 35-point third quarter, capped by a 9-2 run that was highlighted by a hellacious Williams slam in transition and a 27-footer for Carter that tied the game at 72 apiece entering the fourth.
The Lakers were coming apart. They started the fourth period in a 1-for-3, three-turnover tailspin, and the Nets ran them all back down their throats even with Kidd on the bench for part of it. The resulting 12-2 burst that resulted in a 84-74 lead by the 8:39 mark, and it topped out at 91-79 with 4:44 left after Carter (6-for-8, 19 points) got his jumper going.
But Bryant didn't let it go.
He personally accounted for an 8-0 run - five points, plus an assist on Derek Fisher's 3 - to get make it a four-point game. Carter hit a foul shot to stop the bleeding (92-87) with 2:43 left, but Kobe was only getting started.
Bryant hauled out the long-range weaponry: He knocked down a 3, and after Carter hit two at the line, knocked another 3.
"He shot one 3 at the top of the key, and he shot one from Orange County," Kidd said.
One stop later, Kobe assisted on Sasha Vujacic's 3-pointer to get the Lakers the lead, 96-94, with 1:28 left. Jefferson hit one of two at the line, but the Nets finally got a stop. They double-teammed Bryant, and his crosscourt feed was picked off by Jefferson, who was immediately grabbed by Vujacic for a clear-path foul.
Jefferson hit both free throws to regain the lead, but the Nets couldn't cash in on the free possession, and Fisher hit a pair at the other end to regain the lead for the Lakers, 98-97, with 41.8 ticks left.

Shark Meat Fish Tacos?
By admin | August 2, 2011
It's that famous time of year again: Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! As much as we love to learn about our favorite underwater predator from a distance, we may encounter sharks on land more often than we imagine, like in our food.
During these dog days of summer, it's nice to eat something light and refreshing to help you cool down from the heat. A fish taco can be just the right thing-with simple and clean flavors, it can be the perfect refreshing lunch on a hot day. But not all fish tacos are created equal. According to Discovery Channel's Sunday documentary, "Great White Invasion," reporters are linking harvested shark meat that can be reaching our food in unregulated markets, like those in Mexico. This shark meat is often sold in local markets under disguised names and if bought by restaurants and street food vendors, can then become a menu item in popular dishes, like fish tacos. As exotic or appealing as it may sound, ingesting shark meat can in fact be dangerous. Here's why:
Sharks will often eat the bottom-feeders in the water, creatures that eat a lot of minerals on the ocean floors. Thus, these creatures will have high levels of mercury in them, and as sharks eat more and more of these fish, their own mercury level skyrockets.
When fishing boats are out to sea, they'll sometimes inadvertently catch sharks in nets, or purposely catch sharks to harvest their fins. Often times, fishermen will catch a shark, cut off the fin, and release the shark back into the water, often leaving them to die because of the new wound where their fin used to be. The more humane fishermen will harvest the fins back on land, leaving them with all the shark meat. This isn't usually a very popular commodity, so to profit from the whole fish, markets will sell the meat under a different fish name, like Moki.
This meat is then bought for cheap prices and used by restaurants and street food vendors as filler for fish dishes; thus, exposing humans to a potentially dangerous meal. In fact, the FDA has issued a warning to women who might become pregnant, women who are pregnant, nursing mothers, young children saying that they should abstain from eating shark because of the very high levels of mercury. Yet, everyone should listen to this warning since high levels of mercury are dangerous to anyone.
So when in Mexico, you may want to think twice about what might just be in that fish taco you're about to order.

Ferrari's cars are both expensive and rare, and apparently so is the company's newest book. A new book covering the Maranello automaker's complete history is set to be released in a limited run, and retail for around $275,000.
Fans obsessed with the Italian automaker will undoubtedly take an interest in the book, as it highlights every road and race car ever constructed by Ferrari, every driver contracted by the company, and a complete history of the automaker itself. In-depth interviews with prior and current company executives are also featured in the opus.
For such an important project, Ferrari entrusted the Opus Media Group to handle the large undertaking. In true Ferrari fashion, the creators of the book paid close attention to detail in putting it together; writers and photographers were given exclusive access to company archives in order to tell the complete story. In total, there are some 2000 photographs and 150,000 words, telling the 80-year history of the sports car maker. The 852-page book is no light reading, as its weight totals some 88 pounds.
The publisher crafted several variations of the book; all of which contain the same content, but cater to different buyers based on exclusivity and cover material. Topping the list with a price of $275,000, the Diamante Edition is limited to just 20 copies, each headed to a different country. Aside from its limited release, the Diamante Edition features a diamond-encrusted prancing horse on the cover, made up of 1500 stones weighing in at 32.3 carats. Furthering the individuality, the limited-edition books can be bound in the leather color of your choice, and are delivered in a carbon-fiber clamshell case.
Other editions with lesser degrees of rarity are also offered, and are much lower in price. The Enzo edition is signed by all living Ferrari world champions and comes with the carbon fiber case; it is limited to 400 copies and retails for $34,925. Selling at $6545, the Cavallino Rampante Edition (Prancing Horse Edition) bears the signatures of several noteworthy Ferrari greats, with no more than 500 copies scheduled for print. Those interested in a more reasonable version may consider the Classic Edition, which sells for $3520 and features the signatures of current Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. A digital edition will soon be available on the Apple iPad and iPhone, but no price has been announced yet. A teaser version of the digital opus is available free of charge from the iTunes store now.
The first Diamante Edition book will travel with Ferrari's Formula One team through the 2011 season and collect meaningful signatures along the way. It is slated to be auctioned at the end of the season, with an estimated reserve price of $1 million. Proceeds from the sale are to be donated to charity.
The Diamante Edition opus may be of interest to some, but if we had $275,000 burning a hole in our pocket, the local Ferrari dealership would be more likely to benefit. After a quick peek on the web, an ultra-clean 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC is up for grabs on the DuPont Registry, with change to spare. Or if a newer model suits your fancy, several gently used 458s can be had for well under the $300,000 mark.

Issue: 50 Food and Drug Law Journal 71-93 (1995)
The decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow did not change significantly the way courts analyze the admission of scientific evidence. This article looks at the evaluation of scientific evidence in terms of three different, but related, tests: a qualified expert and helpfulness test, a balancing test with an emphasis on methodology, and a modified general acceptance test. All three of these approaches were used by courts prior to Daubert, were utilized by the Supreme Court in Daubert, and have been used since that decision. While lower courts appear to be employing these three approaches more consistently after Daubert, they are not being applied in exactly the same manner. The Supreme Court's decision did not provide them with enough concrete guidance. The Daubert decision was a compromise between the competing goals of excluding "junk science" and of employing a standard flexible enough to adjust to progress. As a result, the Supreme Court missed an opportunity to create a consistent standard for the admission of scientific evidence.

First, I would like to say "shame" to every Santa Clarita resident who didn't bother to vote. You deserve the government you are getting.
Unfortunately, an increase in housing and development density and all the attendant woes they bring will continue unabated.
When Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital is surrounded by offices and commercial buildings, and no enlargement of the hospital occurs, don't be surprised.
Unfortunately, everyone in the immediate surrounding area - Saugus, Castaic, Stevenson Ranch, Agua Dulce, etc. - will be impacted negatively, too.
In the years to come, if things continue the way they are going today, this once lovely suburban community will look just like the San Fernando Valley.
It will have been caused by today's lazy citizens, who would rather bitch and moan than listen to candidates, make decisions and then vote.

The fallen leaves have left my magnolia entirely bare, its blushing Easter flowers barely a memory. My pear tree stands as so many naked twigs, downright ungainly without its leaves and heavy fruit. Even the ginkgo is just about done dropping its smelly berries, which I have spent back-breaking hours shoveling into leaf bags in my annual rite of penance for having done so little yard work the rest of the year.
All this dying greenery falls to Earth, as yet uncovered with snow, though that could come any day. It's the barren shoulder time between the glory of fall, with its bursting color and snapping air, and the mystery of winter, with its hushing shroud and miraculous feast. Some days, the iron sky looks like Lake Michigan inverted. Life feels cold indeed.
Fallen hopes, fallen leaders
The chill isn't helped by the cold consequences of an economy as battered as a sacked quarterback. Seems like half my friends have been laid off, bought out or are looking over their shoulders. Many blow on the flickering flames of new ventures. Some would like to sell their houses if they could get half what they're worth.
Nor is the chill warmed by ample examples of fallen humanity. The thrill of watching local boy Kirk Cousins lead our (read: my) beloved Spartans to victory is tempered by the shock of national icon Joe Paterno being fired as Penn State god (read: football coach) for apparent sins of omission in the sex-abuse scandal.
Paterno's failure to tell police about alleged rape of boys by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky has drawn inevitable comparisons to the Catholic Church. The comparison wasn't lost on Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, who this week offered to work with educational institutions in addressing the problem, as reported by David Gibson, of Religion News Service.
That may sound like the fox offering to help guard the henhouse. But it at least suggests the bishops are willing to collaborate with and learn from other institutions on a problem that should cause the church, a contrite Dolan said, "to bow our heads in shame."
Whether idolized coach or revered clergy, this latest scandal is a reminder that even the apparently greatest guy may do bad things — or not do the right thing. Putting your full faith in football heroes, magnetic ministers or charismatic politicians is bound to dash your expectations when they fall.
Reasons for gratitude
So while I'm all for the Spartans winning the Big Ten, my life will not rise or fall with their fate. I need more to get me through this cold shoulder season, some reason to be grateful for gray days.
Happily, upcoming occasions serve that very purpose. If I can't be thankful on Thanksgiving, or hopeful on Advent the following Sunday, then I am a fallen fellow for sure.
Traditionally, these events are heralded by decorations going up in the stores — check — and the sun going down earlier each night — check again. I am not crazy about either development. I thought of buying one of those sun lights to ward off seasonal depression, but decided spending $200 for it would depress me more than its light would brighten me.
Focus on what matters
But I must say premature holiday hoopla depresses me less than in years past.
When I set my radio alarm the other night and heard Andy Williams singing "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I was on board. Sing it, Andy! I've heard you a million times before, but now I'm ready to believe!
Ditto when my iPod randomly played "The Holly and the Ivy" as performed by local duo MacRaven, whose CD "Winter Canvas" is one of my Christmas favorites. The lilting melody takes me back to ancient English fireplaces and a woman in Chipping Campden, England, who used to sing it long before blogs, Tweets and TV bleats chopped the mysterious sacred into a billion binary bits.
I fully expect to play and hear plenty of sacred music this Advent, and delight in the company of my beloved, my friends and my family. I will spend more time on such ancient joys and less coin on temporal toys.
In so doing, may I give the cold shoulder to a heartless economy and place my faith in the God-given leaves that fall, enriching the Earth for spring's return.

"I started crying and I was happy that they found her because I've been looking for her and I just don't want her to think that I forgot about her," Barbara Knight told Today's Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday of learning that her daughter had been found inside the home of alleged kidnapper Ariel Castro.
"I just wish my daughter would reach out and let me know that she's there," she added.
While the other two abduction victims reunited with their families after being checked at the hospital, Knight's situation is more complicated.
According to several media reports, the 4-foot-7-inch tall Knight, had some mental impairment before the ordeal.
"She had a mind of a child. She was slow," cousin Brenda Dinickle tells CNN.
Then she may have been beaten while in captivity – she reportedly had hearing loss and damage to some of the bones in her face, Fox8 in Cleveland reports.
Knight remains in the hospital Wednesday, and was listed in good condition, according to The Plain Dealer.
Strained RelationshipWhen Knight does leave the hospital, it's unclear whether she will return to Barbara Knight, who admits that her relationship with her daughter Michelle was strained when she disappeared in August of 2002.
"The way I understood it by certain people, they told me that maybe she didn't want [anything] to do with me," Barbara said. "But still in my heart I thought, no, because I know my Michelle."
According to Barbara, Michelle had lost custody of her son. NBC News reports she went missing the day of a schedule court appearance in the custody case. And police told Barbara, she said, that they believed she had left on her own accord.
"Because she was 20 they figured she just left because of the upset because of the baby and everything," she said.
For 10 years, Barbara noted, she held out hope that her daughter would be found alive. "I had my doubts but then I looked on the bright side," she said. "I prayed for some kind of thing to tell me at least if she's alive or not."
Now, though their relationship was strained, Barbara hopes she and Michelle can reconcile and reunite.
"I love you and I missed you all this time," Barbara said. "Hopefully, whatever happened between us, if something did, I hope it heals."

I read with interest the case report by Herskovitz and Schiller.1 The authors reported in total 5 cases in which atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter occurred in close proximity to a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. In all the reported cases, the disorder of cardiac rhythm was self-limited, with spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm over a few hours. The authors concluded that atrial fibrillation occurred secondary to an epileptic seizure, leading to loss of consciousness. While this is certainly possible, the more likely explanation is that it was the cardiac arrhythmia that led to a generalized convulsion in patients inherently predisposed to a seizure disorder. Patient 1 likely possessed a latent primary generalized epilepsy trait as evidenced by the electroencephalogram findings, patient 2 had idiopathic generalized epilepsy since age 16 years, and patient 3 likely still harbored a right temporal seizure focus following right temporal cavernoma resection surgery. Patient 4 likely also harbored a primary generalized epilepsy trait taking his age and history into consideration, while the natural history of patient 5 still remains to be determined because it seems he suffered a single unprovoked convulsion. In the authors' reported series, the likely culprit is clinically latent heart disease presenting itself with convulsions and not vice versa.

DVD Pick of the week: Machine gun Mccain (Blue Underground)
The actors make the movie in screenwriter/director Guiliano Montaldo's funky, cold-blooded 1969 "spaghetti gangster" saga.
There's John Cassavetes, hot off an Oscar nomination for The Dirty Dozen (1967) and the smash success of Rosemary's Baby (1968), in the title role of Hank McCain, newly sprung from san Quentin for the express purpose of robbing a las Vegas casino.
Said purpose is the edict of Charlie Adamo (Peter Falk), an ambitious West Coast godfather determined to make his mark in Vegas — at least until his own superiors (headed by Gabriele Ferzetti) get wind of the plan and decide otherwise.
McCain walks away from the heist with nearly $2 million, setting into motion a series of set-ups and double-crosses. There's a palpable, noir-ish sense of doom as the net closes in on McCain and the bodies start to fall. (Ocean's Eleven this is not.)
Cassavetes gives a nervy, unpredictable performance as the hard-bitten McCain, while Falk tears into his role with juicy bravado. Britt ekland provides a touch of glamour as the cocktail waitress McCain hooks up with, and Cassavetes' real-life wife, Gena Rowlands, has a great cameo appearance as McCain's ex, who still carries a torch for him — even if it gets her burned. ennio Morricone (who else?) contributes a jazzy score that includes the ditty "The Ballad of Hank McCain." How it didn't become a hit I'll never know."ALDO VS. FABER" (Image entertainment): The World extreme Cagefighting featherweight championship match between Jose Aldo and Uriah "The California kid" Faber, which took place this past April in sacramento, Cal. is showcased on this special-edition DVD ($14.98 retail) and Bluray ($19.98 retail), which also includes the world lightweight championship rematch between Ben Henderson and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone.
DON McKAY (Image entertainment): Writer/ director Jake Goldberger's misguided feature debut stars Thomas Haden Church (also an executive producer) as a small-town janitor who returns home to reunite with his high school sweetheart (elisabeth shue), only to soon find himself enmeshed in deception and murder. Despite a good, if over-the-top, cast (including Melissa leo, keith David, James Rebhorn, Pruitt Taylor Vince and the always-welcome M emmet Walsh) and some moments of black comedy, this plays like bad theater, with the actors seemingly in on some sort of private joke. Rated R.
"FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS": THE FOURTH SEASON (Universal studios Home entertainment): The day-to-day lives of a smalltown high-school football team — parents, teachers, players, cheerleaders, et al —] are dramatized in all 13 episodes from the 2009- '10 season of the award-winning, prime-time NBC-TV drama series, based on the 2004 feature film. The ensemble cast includes Connie Britton, Taylor kitsch, kyle Chandler and Jesse Plemons. Four emmy nominations including Chandler as Outstanding lead Actor in a Drama series and Britton as Outstanding lead Actress in a Drama series. This boxed set retails for $29.98.
GREENBERG (Universal studios Home entertainment): Ben stiller's in top form in the title role of screenwriter/director Noah Baumbach's customarily brittle, cynical, grownup romantic comedy about a failed musicianturned- malcontent who, while staying at his brother's los Angeles home, instigates an off-and-on romance with his brother's personal assistant (Greta Gerwig). A little on the long side but worthwhile nevertheless, with good support from Rhys Ifans and Baumbach's real-life wife, Jennifer Jason leigh (also a producer and story writer). Rated R.
HAMLET (Warner Home Video): kenneth Branagh adapted, directed and stars in this title role of this epic, unexpurgated 1996 version of the shakespeare classic, newly released on Blu-ray ($34.99 retail). A star-studded cast includes kate Winslet (as Ophelia), Julie Christie (as Gertrude), Richard Attenborough, Judi Dench, Charlton Heston, Jack lemmon, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and many others. Four Academy Award nominations: Best Adapted screenplay, Best score, Best Art Direction/set Decoration and Best Costume Design. Impressive, to be sure, but at four hours, one gets the feeling is that even shakespeare could do with a little editing. Rated PG-13.
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (Image entertainment): eva Amurri and her real-life mother susan sarandon play mother and daughter in director John stockwell's comingof- age comedy/drama that doesn't quite add up but has some nice moments along the way… and some contrived ones. Attractive performances all around (especially Amurri's), including Willa Holland, Anton Yelchin and Justin Chatwin. Rated R.
MISTER ANTONIO (Alpha Home entertainment): leo Carrillo plays the title role in this pleasant 1929 comedy based on Booth Tarkington's play, as an Italian immigrant who encounters hypocrisy in a small Pennsylvania town. Corny and dated, but Carrillo brings an amusing dignity to the role and at least the stereotyped characters aren't portrayed in a meanspirited manner.
NOTORIOUS BUT NIcE (Alpha Home entertainment): Richard Thorpe directed this entertaining pre-Code 1933 melodrama (officially condemned by the Catholic Church, no less!), following Marian Marsh as she goes from innocent girl to accused murderess by forces beyond her control. Good performances all around, including those of Betty Compson, Donald Dillaway, John st Polis, Rochelle Hudson, Henry kolker, Robert ellis and particularly J. Carrol Naish, as a shady club owner who comes to a bad end.
THE PROWLER (Blue Underground): The Bluray debut ($29.98 retail) of the uncut version of director Joseph Zito's gory 1981 mystery (also known as Rosemary's Killer) in which a masked madman commits a rash of sadistic murders in Cape May, NJ. The cast includes Farley Granger and lawrence Tierney, but this is best remembered for Tom savini's grisly makeup effects..
THE RAcING STRAIN (Alpha Home entertainment): This pre-Code 1932 melodrama stars Wallace Reid Jr. as an ambitious young auto racer who battles the bottle as much he battles the curves. Hokey at times, but auto enthusiasts will enjoy the vintage cars.
SONG OF ARIZONA (Alpha Home entertainment): In this 1946 Western from Republic Pictures, Roy Rogers (as himself, of course) lends a hand at a dude ranch run by his old sidekick, George "Gabby" Hayes (playing a character named "Gabby," of course). Also on hand: Dale evans (of course), Roy's horse Trigger (who gets second billing!), Bob Nolan and the sons of the Pioneers, and lyle Talbot as the bad guy. The Halloween number "When Mr. spook steps Out" is a treat, although some of the humor (like a minstrel gag) has seriously dated. still, this is one of Roy's better, faster-paced outings, and is the full 67-minute version.
SONG OF THE TRAIL (Alpha Home entertainment): kermit Maynard headlines this 1936 Western quickie as a rodeo trick-rider who gallops into action to help an old flame (evelyn Brent) whose father (George Hayes, forgoing "Gabby" for once) loses the family mine in a crooked poker game. Joining Maynard are his trusty horse, Rocky, and his trusty sidekick, Pudge (Fuzzy knight).
"TRAUMA": SEASON 1 (Universal studios Home entertainment): A four-DVD boxed set ($39.98 retail) containing every episode from the 2009-'10 (and only) season of the primetime NBC-TV drama series focusing on the daily rigors of paramedics in san Francisco. The ensemble cast includes Cliff Curtis, Derek luke, Aimee Garcia and Jamey sheridan.
"UFC 114: RAMPAGE VS. EVANS" (Anchor Bay entertainment): The latest two-DVD release ($19.97 retail) from the Ultimate Fighting Championship showcases the grudge match between Quentin "Rampage" Jackson (recently seen in the big-screen A-Team) and "suga" Rashad evans. Other featured bouts include Jensen vs. Forbes, Bisping vs. Miller, and more.
"WAREHOUSE 13": SEASON 1 (Universal studios Home entertainment): The title enclave houses strange and mysterious artifacts, which are duly investigated by a pair of secret service agents (eddie McClintock and Joanne kelly) in all 13 episodes from the 2009-'10 season of the syfy Channel series, which earned an emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music. The three-DVD boxed set, which includes bonus features, retails for $49.98.

Laboratory testing of samples of waste rock fill at Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, has enabled the quality of the rock fill to he defined in terms of its particle size distribution. The strength of poor quality rock fill has been determined by triaxial testing and by back-analysis of observed waste dump slips, and slope stability charts have been prepared for waste dump design. The results obtained from the strength testing have been compared with the results of previous strength testing on Panguna andesite, and with the results of strength testing of rock fill materials for use in dam construction. The strength parameters obtained for poor quality Panguna andesite rock fill were substantially lower than the previously reported results.

Texts: Rise B. Axelrod and Charles R. Cooper, St. Martin's Guide to Writing and The Little, Brown Handbook. (If you have ready access to the W3, you might substitute the Blair Handbook for the Little, Brown.) In addition to these texts, I expect you to read a number of photocopied, supplemental essays distributed in class.
As an introduction to rhetorical practice, this course concerns itself with how to make texts; it provides a forum where strategies for planning, inventing, composing, revising, and editing texts are shared and tested. It is not designed to simulate "real life" writing experiences. Instead, it should be regarded as a laboratory where you learn skills applicable to any writing assignment encountered both within and outside your university experience.
Throughout this semester, as we take on the role of writer--experimenting with different voices and audiences--we will proceed from the assumption that a conceptual understanding of the principles and nature of writing is best attained by actually writing.Top of Page
I will show little toleration in dealing with late papers. In this class you are to see yourselves as writers, and the deadline as a normal and necessary part of any writing assignment.
Feel free--make that, feel obligated--to check on the progress of your writing during the course of this term. Should you need special assistance in understanding or in completing an assignment, schedule an appointment with me.
Plagiarism is a form of stealing (intellectual property). Make sure that you know how to credit your sources.
Absences: In one sense, there is no such thing as an excused absence. A missed class means missed material. If you are unable to attend class, perhaps because of illness or a death in your family, that situation will be dealt with individually. There are no make-up assignments; missed notes should be copied from another student. My office hours are posted, but I am willing to make appointments to meet at other times. My office phone number is (717) 771-4157. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com of Page
The course is divided into six units, each one treating variations on possible relationships between a writer and his or her audience and subject matter. Each unit includes three sorts of material: 1) an assignment; 2) critical or explanatory commentaries describing the principles of a specific kind of writing; 3) examples of the kind of writing in question, to be used as models for the assignments. Commentary, both oral and written, is the source of the criteria by which the assignments are evaluated.

Henry Abbott of TrueHoop with a brilliant piece on the offer that should've been accepted: "There may be a certain tolerance out there for an NBA season lost to fixing a broken financial model. Everybody at least understands the idea that the league needs to be on solid financial footing. But with the money issues solved, it's unfathomable that we might lose a season chasing the unicorn of competitive balance."
Marc Stein of ESPN.com says KD is in talks with a German team still: "The agent for Kevin Durant confirmed an overseas media report Thursday that the Oklahoma City Thunder star is in talks with BBC Bayreuth about playing in Germany during the ongoing NBA lockout. Agent Aaron Goodwin told ESPN.com on Thursday night that talks between the teams are "ongoing" but said the deal is not in the final stages as described by SPOX.com."
Ken Berger of CBSSports.com: "There isn't a lot of legal precedent for a pro athletes' union winning significant damages against their league, and that's for a reason. That's because there have always been, and remain, sound reasons for one side or the other not to want to risk defeat or score too overwhelming a victory. There's a point where routing your opponent in a sports antitrust action becomes just as big a loss for you, and that point is when you emerge and realize that the people you just annihilated won't make particularly good partners when it's over. That's the thing about mutually assured destruction. By definition, everybody loses."
A massive list of 2012's potentially bananas free agent market if there's not a season.
Chris Broussard of ESPN.com: "The NBA held a 20-minute conference call Thursday to update its owners on the state of the labor situation, according to an ownership source. Commissioner David Stern spoke to the 29 owners (the NBA still owns the New Orleans Hornets) on what the source described as "an update call." The owners' strategy going forward was not discussed and no further meetings or calls were scheduled, either among the owners or with the players' attorneys, the source said."
J.A. Adande on who he'd start a franchise with: "Kevin Durant. As prolific a scorer as there is in the league, and he's only 23 years old — four years away from his prime. He's already learned playoff lessons from Kobe and Dirk. His defense will get better. And he loves the game."
Had a wonderful time with the TBJ crew in OKC last night. Thanks to all that came out. And for all of you that didn't… that's OK.

Summer is half over and I realized I've never shared this party inspiration I created for Bird's Party magazine back in the Spring. My mission was to design a unique party idea for a boy, and of course I used Bird's Party printables for the paper elements. I decided to create a Little Outdoorsman Fishing Party concept that would take place over brunch {since everyone knows that's when the fish are biting ; ) }. Check out all the details below …
The setting was a lovely park with a pond, and picnic tables already in place. I set the table with woodsy elements like turkey feathers & deer antlers (actually found in the woods on my in-laws property), a moss table runner with faux ferns, and a wood and branch donut pedestal as the centerpiece. Napkins were tied with jute twine and embellished with fishing lures, and "root" beer was personalized with a mini chalkboard hang tag. Stacked donuts topped with cupcake circles make a more logical choice than cupcakes since this was a morning event.
Since growing boys can get hungry often, I set up a snack table to go with the theme. Trail mix, gummy fish & worms, and meringue mushrooms served on a bed of chocolate rocks {see link for DIY instructions} will keep them fueled for a morning of fishing and nature hikes. Small favor bags & extra root beer are presented in a small wooden boat, while flowers always add a festive touch. The favor bags contain the ingredients for making s'mores, and can also be filled with extra snacks from the table.
If you have a young boy who loves the outdoors this may be a great idea to celebrate his next birthday. Gather a couple of his friends and head out to your local fishing hole, or simply re-create this woodsy setting in your own back yard.
Happy Party Planning!
For more inspiration, follow me on Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook. Cheers!

Studio gives laffer 'D.A.D.' a home
Lions Gate has decided it can relate to "Notorious D.A.D.," buying the family comedy pitch from writers Bear Aderhold and Tom Sullivan and setting it up with Carl Beverly, Eric Tannenbaum and Jonathan Prince to produce.
Story concerns a superstar rapper who loses everything and is forced to take a job as a nanny for his accountant's kids while trying to resurrect his music career.
Lions Gate exec John Sacchi and president of production Mike Paseornek pulled the trigger on the purchase. Studio had no comment about the deal.
The writing duo have also worked on such TV skeins as "The Man Show" and "Crank Yankers." They also recently closed a deal with Parallel Entertainment for comedy pitch "Delta Farce," described as "Stripes" meets "The Three Amigos."
Tannenbaum is also developing a half-hour idea with Aderhold and Sullivan in conjunction with Warner Bros. TV.

Earle Cabell (October 27, 1906 – September 24, 1975) was a Texas politician who served as mayor of Dallas, Texas. Cabell was mayor at the time of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and was later a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Early life[edit]
Cabell was born in Dallas. He attended Texas A&M University, where he met Jack Crichton and H.R. "Bum" Bright, and thereafter Southern Methodist University. After returning from college, he founded, along with his brothers, Cabell's Inc., a chain of dairies and convenience stores. He later became involved with banking and other investments. In May 1961, he was elected mayor to succeed Robert L. Thornton.
Cabell was the 4th of 4 sons of the then former 1900-1904 City of Dallas Mayor Ben E. Cabell and also the grandson of the former multi-term City of Dallas Mayor William L. Cabell of the late 19th Century. He was the brother of Charles Cabell, who was deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency until Charles resigned in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion.
On February 3, 1964, Cabell resigned as mayor of Dallas in order to run for Congress. He unseated the ten-year Republican incumbent Bruce Alger. In that same election, Jack Crichton was defeated by a wide margin by the Democratic Governor John B. Connally, Jr., and George Herbert Walker Bush fell to Senator Ralph W. Yarborough. Cabell served four terms in the House before he was defeated by the Republican Alan Steelman in the 1972 election.
Later life[edit]
Following his defeat, he retired in Dallas, where he lived until his death in 1975 from emphysema. He was buried at Restland Cemetery in Dallas.[1]
The Earle Cabell Federal Building and Courthouse on Commerce Street in Dallas is named in his honor.[2]

Alderson-Broaddus College of Philippi recently welcomed Morgantown artist Ron Hollingshead and his installation of sculptures, "Take as Directed" to the Daywood Gallery in Burbick Hall.
The show is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays through March 9, and it features Hollingshead's his take on personal health care experiences ranging from injury and treatment to recovery.
"After months of pills, discomfort and talks with doctors with few answers, there wasn't an explanation (for the pain)," Hollingshead said.

'Regimen,' a series of small sculptures, is on display at the Daywood Gallery as a testament to the 579 prescribed pills in Ron Hollingshead's monthly dosage. Each pill was designed not only to match the colors of his actual prescriptions, but in an image reminiscent of the pill bug, an insect that reminds Hollingshead of the shape of a capsule pill.
The Inter-Mountain photo by Melissa Toothman
Students of Alderson-Broaddus College visit the gallery following a lecture Jan. 31 in the Lecture Hall of Withers-Brandon.
He found himself wondering if the pain he was feeling was real and whether he could trust what he felt in his own body, although he tried to take care of himself.
"I don't smoke. I don't drink. I've never even tasted alcohol or puffed a cigarette," he said.
Although each sculpture tells a story about his own experience, Hollingshead himself is far enough removed from the sculptures that they can be interpreted as the experiences of anyone who has experienced medical issues.
Part of his sculptural work for this expedition incorporates an actual hospital bed. Hollingshead was lucky enough to find this bed along the side of the road after he had begun the planning stages for the artwork.
"I didn't put me in the bed so that it's not all about me. It allows the viewer to put themselves in the artwork," Hollingshead said.
The hospital bed piece is titled "Exhausted," and gallery visitors will discover that the bed is equipped with an exhaust system that would normally be found on a vehicle. In addition, the hospital bed's wheels have been replaced with molds of wheels that appear to be low on air, to add to the "worn-out" effect.
Another piece represents his ruptured disk. Standing tall in the floor of the gallery is a sculpture of a vertebra titled "Rupture," which incorporates a video of Hollingshead blowing bubblegum until it pops.
"When the doctor came out to update my mother and wife about my surgery, he said, 'When I cut into his spinal column, a piece of his disc the size of a gum ball popped out.' I thought his words were telling a metaphor for a ruptured disc," Hollingshead said.
Through his experiences, Hollingshead had to take 579 prescribed pills over the course of one month - and he was on the medication for seven years.
On the gallery walls, visitors will discover exactly one month's worth of medication prescribed to Hollingshead. Each pill, created in the exact colors of the prescribed pills, rests upon a sculptural tongue. Together, these tongues are titled, "Regimen."
Hollingshead said he is especially pleased with the way "Regimen" displays in Daywood Gallery. The 579 small sculptures are fixed on all four walls of the gallery in a way that one can interpret as a cycle of taking the medication.
The show is the second version of the same subject matter Hollingshead created for his thesis exhibition at West Virginia University. Hollingshead graduated from WVU in May 2011 with a master's degree in sculpture and is now teaching as an adjunct professor.
Not all sculptures that complement Hollingshead's show in the gallery were able to be included in this installation of the show because of space constraints.
Grant Johnson, professor of art at A-B, invited Hollingshead to display the work.
"I'm especially pleased to be able to bring an expedition that is directly involved with health care. There's a strong connection to our educational purpose at A-B," Johnson said.
Hollingshead said he was happy he was invited.
"I think it's important for students to see art that is different from what they see every day," Hollingshead said.
More information is available at www.ronhollingshead.blogspot.com, where people can leave comments or ask the artist questions. In addition, a book outside of Daywood Gallery is available for visitors to record their thoughts and leave comments for the artist.

Teen Records Teacher Stealing From Students' Backpacks (Video)Monica Bielanko
A California teen hides in a high school gym locker and catches a teacher, a 30-year veteran, rifling through backpacks and stealing money!
Someone had been stealing money from teen's backpacks during Phys Ed so Justine Betti decided to solve the crime on her own. She hid in a locker and couldn't believe it when her teacher showed up and started rifling through backpacks and taking money.
"After all the kids left she stayed in there and went through people's backpacks," Justine Betti told News 10 of the veteran educator. "I saw her take money and then I told people and nobody believed me."
So Justine decided to catch the teacher on camera. She set up a cell phone pointed at the scene of the crime then hid in a locker with another cell phone and caught the teacher rifling through backpacks again, this time on video.
The girls took the video to the principal who said he'd investigate it and then told them to delete the video. Which, WHAT? Was the principal planning a cover-up? Was he getting a cut from the thieving teacher?
I find that totally weird. But, too late! Justine had already emailed the video to her dad . So, despite what looks like an attempted cover-up, the video came to the attention of local authorities and the teacher was placed on administrative leave. The incident is now being investigated by the school district and San Joaquin County Sheriff's office.
Justine says she feels like she did the right thing but that it was hard because the teacher was so beloved by her students who describe her as "great."
"She was so nice," Justine says. "Like I saw it and I would never believe it."
Check out a clip of the video Justine took in the news report below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6vtebPR_Kk

Huawei Ascend P6 review
World's thinnest smartphone fails to deliver
Product Huawei Ascend P6
Website Huawei
Specifications 4.7in 720x1280 312ppi IPS+ LCD touchscreen, quad-core 1.5GHz Huawei K3V2 processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage with microSD expansion up to 32GB, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, GSM/3G/4G, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, Huawei Emotion UI 1.6, 2000mAh battery, 132x65.5x6.2mm, 120g
Price £380 SIM-free
CHINESE PHONE MAKER Huawei still isn't the biggest name in the smartphone industry, but it's hoping that calling its Ascend P6 handset the "world's thinnest smartphone" will help it compete with the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.
The Huawei Ascend P6 is all about design, according to Huawei, and at 6.2mm thick the handset claims the title of the world's thinnest smartphone.
In the real world that doesn't really mean a lot. Due to its boxy shape and large 4.7in screen we found the Huawei Ascend P6 quite uncomfortable to hold in one hand, whether it's the world's thinnest smartphone or not.
However, the Huawei Ascend P6 is a good looking smartphone. The handset's casing is constructed predominately from plastic, aside from the metal edging surrounding the device, which gives it a high-end feel, and the phone also boasts a curved back.
However, this rounded rear is the only design feature that sets the Ascend P6 apart from the iPhone, with the handset's look and feel clearly influenced by Apple's latest smartphone.
Our only other gripe is that the white model, which we've been testing, is quite prone to picking up dirt and grime, but the phone will be available in a less dirt-showing black model too.
The Huawei Ascend P6 features a 4.7in 720x1280 IPS+ LCD touchscreen with a pixel density of 312ppi. While its HD 720p display can't match the HD 1080p screens found on the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, phones that Huawei is looking to challenge with the Ascend P6, the handset's screen is still impressive.
During our time with the phone we found that the display remained consistently vibrant, whether we used it in artificial lighting or in the dark depths of the London Underground. The display did struggle slightly when we used it in direct sunlight, although it proved more legible than our iPhone 5 display.
Next: Performance, operating system.

This player has not hit any home runs.
Much of the data on Baseball-Reference.com's Home Run Logs comes from the Tattersall/McConnell Home Run Log, a database of all homers hit in the major leagues since 1876. This project was begun in the 1940's by John C. Tattersall and was continued after Tattersall's death in 1981 by Bob McConnell, one of SABR's original 16 members. David Vincent, another SABR member, has since assumed the leadership of the project. Baseball-Reference.com has licensed this remarkable database from the Society for American Baseball Research. All credit for the data therein goes to the intrepid researchers who digitized this data from archival sources.
For years from 1913 to 2016, RetroSheet play-by-play data has been used whenever the home run occurred in a game for which we have complete play-by-play data.
There are a handful of cases where the home run logs totals do not agree with the totals on our player pages. We are working to reconcile all of those differences, but believe that in all cases the Home Run Encyclopedia is correct.

If you've got a glowing, tender heart and wonder how it's possible to feel so much, this is the book for you. Hypochondriacs are advised to skip essay #2.—Recommended by Vanessa, City Lights Books
From personal loss to phantom diseases, a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize
A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014
Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.

An In-Tents Experience
Yurts are making for some very coddled campers, from the Adirondacks to the French Alps
Made from a framework of wood and a covering of animal hair felt, the yurt—or more curtly, the ger, according to the Mongols who invented it—was essential gear for nomads and khans on the Steppes. Light, collapsible and durable, the dome-shaped tents insulated their occupants against fierce winds and winters and could be carried along on pack animals.
For modern nomads, yurts serve a much less essential—but no less appealing—purpose, offering travelers the cozy feel of a tent with many of the comforts and conveniences of a hotel. Yurts can be raised in the middle of the most un-peopled of places, awe-inspiring, edge-of-the-earth destinations that traditional resorts can't reach. Yurt lodgers can hike in a Patagonian ice field or take a camel ride through the remote Gobi-Altai foothills, and still end the day with a hot shower, a toasty fireplace, star-view skylights and a warm (and dry) bed. Sometimes there are even wooden floors and delectables in the fridge.
Hundreds of yurting excursions now exist around the world. Here are seven idyllic locales that are well worth the trek—no pack mule or camel required.
—Stinson Carter

VH1 (Tues., June 3, 8 p.m. ET)
One of the best things personally about being President has been the music," Bill Clinton says in this puffball special. He's not talking about "Hail to the Chief." The Prez happily admits using his position to befriend pop stars such as James Taylor and Aretha Franklin, as well as world leaders like Barbra Streisand.
The hour-long program, hosted by Carly Simon, is built around a White House interview taped in March. Despite his reputation as a waffler, Clinton comes out foursquare in favor of music education, recalling the high school years when he dreamed of playing the sax professionally. (The grown-up Clinton settled for enthusiastic amateurism, as displayed in clips from The Arsenio Hall Show and The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.) His old Arkansas friends testify, without subpoenas, to the rockin' good times they shared. It's all harmless, though fogies will carp that baby boomer Bill should think less about Elvis and more about entitlement reform.

We hope you'll enjoy this interview with Kent Nerburn about his book The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo.
Kent Nerburn is a storyteller, and The Wolf at Twilight ranks right up there with my favorite works of fiction. It has the same quality of insight, the same wacky sense of humor, the same surprising combination of comedy and tragedy, and the same rich cast of characters that made his previous book Neither Wolf nor Dog the winner of the 1996 Minnesota Book Award.
Every page has surprises. The book is a unique blend of fiction and non-fiction that can be read on many levels. It's a mystery, for one thing, and can be read and enjoyed as a well-crafted mystery story filled with revelations and insights.

CORTLAND - The Lakeview Bulldogs girls' basketball team has this winning thing down pat.
In fact, it was almost too easy for Lakeview in winning its first 11 games of the season. Routs of 30 or more points were the norm, which is great for building confidence but potentially scary for when the first difficult test arises.
That happened Thursday night in an All-American Conference National Division game against the scrappy Newton Falls Tigers, who were like an ill-timed pop quiz on the schedule. The Bulldogs ultimately passed the test with a 47-34 win, but there were some uneasy moments.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / R. Michael Semple
Lakeview's Addison Becker (34)?pulls in a rebound over Newton Falls' Brooke Barreca during first-half action on Thursday night.
"This was a great game for us," Bulldogs coach Adam Lewis said. "We're beating people by like 30 points on average, so we haven't had a close game. I was really concerned how our girls would handle being in a close game in the fourth quarter as opposed to being up by 25 points. I thought they handled it well."
The Bulldogs (12-0, 5-0 AAC National Division) struggled in falling behind, 12-9, after the first quarter. They regrouped and were seemingly on the verge of pulling away when they opened a nine-point lead in the second quarter, but the lead dwindled to five, 22-17, at halftime.
The game remained within striking distance for the Tigers (8-4, 4-1) into the fourth quarter before the Bulldogs scored 10 of the final 13 points.
Tigers coach Mark Baker looked for positives in a third straight defeat.
"With losing - and I'll quote former Tennessee women's coach Pat Summitt - we have a love-hate relationship," Baker said. "You hate it because of how it makes you feel, which is basically sick, but you love what it brings out in the kids. It really makes you re-focus and get back to doing the things you did."
Bulldogs senior Alli Pavlik was again the dominant force on both ends of the court. Pavlik, who's averaging a little less than 30 points a game, made five 3-point shots in finishing with 31 points. It seemed that each time the Tigers got close to taking the lead, Pavlik made a shot from beyond the arc.
"We practice them (3-point shots) all the time," said Pavlik, who's made a living scoring in transition. "I think it's just that rhythm and doing the same thing over and over, and I think it's just starting to click."
There was a choppy flow to the game. Neither team settled into a groove for any appreciable length of time. The Tigers hurt their cause by committing 25 turnovers.
Pavlik wasn't totally surprised that the Bulldogs struggled, mainly because of the rivalry aspect of the game.
"We haven't had much competition for a month," Pavlik said. "So when we came across them, we knew they're going to want to beat us; they're tough.
"They're a team that when it comes to stats, it doesn't matter. It's a rivalry game. Anything can happen. They held us to 30 below our average, so that was pretty scary. We finished the game out strong."
