The contemporary Maine art scene was largely created by groups of artists who got together following World War II to create such institutions as the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture (1946) and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (1950) and to form cooperative galleries such as the Barn Gallery (1958) in Ogunquit, Maine Coast Artists (1952) in Rockport, and the Maine Art Gallery (1958) in Wiscasset.
The prime mover behind the Maine Art Gallery was Mildred Burrage, a Portland-born artist who had moved to Wiscasset from Kennebunkport with her sister Madeline in 1947. Burrage (1890-1983) was ahead of her times for Maine, having studied abroad in France during the birth of modernism. Miss Burrage's four extended stays abroad between 1909 and 1914 are now (through July 15) the focus of an exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art entitled From Portland to Paris: Mildred Burrage's Years in France. The show consists of approximately 70 paintings, drawings, and letters from Burrage's formative trip abroad.
Mildred Burrage and her sister Madeline, known as Bob, came from a prominent Portland family, their mother having been heir to a lumber fortune and their father Maine's first state historian. Burrage began her art studies in Portland under the tutelage of artist Alice H. Howes. She then attended the Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence, Rhode island, where she continued to pursue art. As luck would have it, Miss Wheeler owned a cottage in Giverny, France, and it was this connection that sent 19 year old Mildred abroad in 1909.
In France, Burrage studied under Miss Wheeler and American expatriate Robert Miller. In France, Burrage met Claude Monet and her chief influence was that of French Impressionism, the infatuation with "broken color" and qualities of light that led to the liberation from naturalistic color and eventually to freedom from imitation altogether.
From Portland to Paris was co-curated by Maine State Historian Earle J. Shettleworth, Jr. and Portland Museum of Art European curator Margaret E. Burgess. The Burrage show complements The Draw of the Normandy Coast (1860-1960), another exhibition Burgess has curated which will be on view this summer (June 14 through September 3.) The exhibition features not only Burrage's renderings of the French countryside and people, but also a selection of her letters and postcards describing her infatuation with France.
On a 1909 postcard, for example, Burrage wrote, "The river is a good deal wider than the Kennebec. It is the loveliest country you ever saw, the red brown roofs, the white houses, and the green fields. I have been painting all the morning, and we are just going to begin again. Tell mama Miss Wheeler said most encouraging things to me this morning…Probably we are going to Paris Sunday. Notre Dame. I hope we will be there for the music. I would give anything to have you here. It is so new and such fun. Heaps of love from M."
Mildred Burrage came home in 1914 at the onset of World War I, lived with her sister in Kennebunkport from 1917 to 1947, worked in the South Portland shipyard during World War II, and moved to Wiscasset in 1947. She was instrumental not only in establishing the Maine Art Gallery, but also in restoring the historic Pownalborough Court House and the Lincoln County Museum and Jail. An ardent preservationist, she served as a director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Late in life, Mildred Burrage created a whole body of abstract works in mica. While no one would ever claim that Mildred Burrage was a major artist, she has been overlooked as an artist and she truly was an artist ahead of her time and a force to be reckoned with in Maine.

If you're growing weary of caring for your own garden, or you just want to be inspired with new ideas, why not plan a visit to a botanical garden or arboretum?
Indiana has a number of public gardens where you can learn new plants, as well as how to grow them. Botanical gardens and arboreta are essentially living museums with plants as the exhibits. Public gardens can be abundant sources of information about plants that can be grown in your area. Many public gardens have lecture series, tours and other special events.
The following list of selected gardens includes some of the larger public collections in Indiana. Hours of operation will vary, so it is wise to call ahead and find out the specific hours for the particular site.

Shea Whigham
Jump to
There are always a handful of dependable character actors working in film or television that audiences automatically recognize, even if they do not know their names. Actor Shea Whigham is one of those people. Whigham is best known for his role as Eli Thompson on the period gangster show "Boardwalk Empire" (HBO, 2010-14), playing the brother of the venal Atlantic City politician "Nucky" Thompson. It is a role that offered Whigham plenty of room to shine, although one of the gifts of a good character actor is holding back until the right dramatic opportunity to steal the scene. The rugged Whigham had quietly worked for years before getting his career breakthrough on the show, mainly appearing in small independent features like the Vietnam war drama "Tigerland" (2000), David Gordon Green's acclaimed "All the Real Girls" (2003) and the romantic black comedy "Wristcutters: A Love Story" (2006). In 2011 Whigham teamed up with his "Boardwalk Empire" co-star, Michael Shannon, in the independent thriller "Take Shelter," and the following year he appeared in a smaller part in the Oscar-nominated romantic drama "Silver Linings Playbook."

Madonna's Daughter to Star in Her Music VideoHannah Tennant-Moore
It's none too surprising that Madonna's 12-year-old daughter Lourdes is "desperate to be an actress," what with growing up in the shadow of arguably the largest pop icon of the last twenty years. For the first time, Madonna is helping her daughter achieve the fame she seeks by having her star in one of Madonna's upcoming music videos.
Fortunately, we're not talking "Like a Virgin" or "Papa, Don't Preach," but rather the upbeat and family-friendly hit "Celebration."
I'm normally livid at parents who push their kids into the limelight, but in this case, it seems that Madonna waited until her daughter was old enough to decide for herself whether she wanted to seek fame and fortune. Something tells me she won't have too much trouble achieving them.

The other day on Twitter the infamous Tuck Rule came up. If you're a Raider fan, you are all too familiar with the Tuck Rule. During the Raiders and Patriots 2002 AFC play-off showdown, I was at the opera. Well actually I was in the lobby listening to the game on my walkman. As time wound down, Charles Woodson forced Brady to fumble, Biekert recovered and we were home free! Until we weren't. Naturally, the referees had to conjure up a never before used rule to screw the Raiders out of their chance at glory. The aftermath had me sprawled face down on the marble floor of the Scottish Rite Temple's lobby.
When I recently went in search of video for it, I found out that the Tuck Rule had been named the second most controversial call in NFL history. The first? You guessed it, the Immaculate Reception. This is all evidence of the Raiders biggest rivalry to date. Not a rivalry against a team they face off with once a year, but rather a crew of zebra striped mercenaries that they have to negotiate every week, the referees. Without further ado, I present to you the #1 and #2 most controversial NFL plays of all time.
Do you think the Raiders got screwed? Or is it all hype?

Our AHA panel "Babel before Bhabha:" Language and German Cultural Studies since 1800" investigates how the linguistic definition of cultural difference has legitimated and spawned human conflict and imperial conquest in the modern period. It explores the particular importance of language and linguistic theory to German concepts of culture, moving from a specific national context to a more general consideration of the historical role of language in humanistic inquiry.
First, the papers seek to understand a German peculiarity. Why was language such an important metaphor for the representation of national culture in Germany? J.G. Herder (1744-1803) and the prophets of German nationalism emphasized a specifically linguistic definition of the national community that was both territorially expansive and exclusionary. The subsequent conflation of language and race in discussions of "Aryan" and "Semitic" peoples has been tied to a Sonderweg (special path) of German development that culminated in the death camps of the Third Reich. Germans did not confine their linguistic interests to the home front, however. Scholars sought to uncover how peoples throughout the entire world, especially in Africa and the Pacific, were interrelated, and what that meant for Germany's position in the human community. Research on "colonial" languages was not ensconced in an ivory tower, but rather employed in the service of state-building.
Secondly, the panel seeks to historicize the current concern for language manifest in the humanistic disciplines. It argues that the German philological tradition, which nourished the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche, raised the "specter of autonomous language" by claiming that words and grammatical structures shaped culture, community, and cognition independently of a transcendental subject. Even before the "linguistic turn," German language studies provided European and American scholars with models and informing metaphors for other modes of thinking in the human and natural sciences.

Love's Wound
Kurt Cobain's Widow, Courtney Love, Lives with Her Grief and Her Anger
Apparently uninterested in an audience with Mrs. Schwarzenegger, Love turned instead to celebrity photographer Herb Ritts, who had recently collaborated with her for an upcoming Vanity Fair cover story. And when Ritts presented photos of Frances Bean, Courtney's 2-year-old daughter by her late husband, Nirvana superstar Kurt Cobain, who shot himself to death a year ago April 5, Love cooed. "Ahhh, look how much she looks like her daddy." She then mentioned how much she had wanted to have a second child by Cobain (who had made an earlier suicide attempt in Rome on March 4, 1994). Before anyone could wax wistful, though, Love launched into an explicit and oddly comic monologue about her attempt to freeze Cobain's sperm after his return from Rome in order to impregnate herself later. "I called my ob-gyn," she said. "He said 'How cold is your freezer?' I told him, but he said it wasn't cold enough."
Not exactly your average Hollywood small talk, but then Love, 31, didn't become rock's most outrageously controversial personality by studying Miss Manners. Nor has the once-obscure underground diva and bit-part actress who was thrust into the limelight by her husband's suicide spent the ensuing year in solitude and somber reflection. Instead she has coped with her loss—and then, two months later, the death of friend and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff from an apparent drug overdose—in a largely public way, onstage and in a torrent of tabloid headlines.
For four months following Cobain's death, Love kept her grief private, spending time at home in Seattle with Frances and making occasional recuperative trips, including one to an Arizona health spa and another to an Ithaca, N.Y., Buddhist monastery. Then in August she went on the road with Hole to promote the band's new record, Live Through This. The presciently titled album was about to be shipped to record stores at the time of Cobain's suicide. And, despite a delayed publicity campaign by Geffen Records, which feared appearing to exploit his death, it sold briskly and was hailed as an artistic success. The album was named best of the year by Rolling Stone and Spin and won the annual Village Voice critics' poll, among other accolades. Though the album and Hole's ensuing sold-out tour have helped establish Love as a rock heroine in her own right, her offstage behavior has fueled the kind of rumors that would make even Madonna's press agent blanch.
The juiciest, all denied by Love's associates, include recent reports of dabbling in hard drugs and a stint in rehab ('I'm sure she's not involved in anything like that," says Courtney watcher Jennifer Schwartz of BAM, a California music magazine). There were also stories of dalliances with hot stars of both sexes, including rocker Evan Dando of the Lemonheads, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails (who accused her of obsessive behavior after a romantic fling went sour last summer) and Sandra Bernhard ("They're just friends," a pal says). And though Love is close to Cobain's friend Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and has been seen enjoying the company of two of the most sought-after Hollywood studs—Stephen Dorff and Brad Pitt—at L.A.'s trendy club Jones, there appears to be no serious new romance in her life. At Morton's Academy Awards night, Love teased listeners by hinting that a 4.5 carat, pear-shaped diamond "friendship ring" she was sporting may have been given to her by Pitt, whom she says she first took for "a Kurt Cobain wannabe." Though the two have since become pals, Love, who told PEOPLE last month that "no one can replace Kurt," insists she and Pitt are "not dating!"
Even now, despite her omnipresence in the spotlight, little that Love says dispels the impression that she's a trying-too-hard-to-be-merry widow on a headlong rush toward disaster. In L.A. last November she was seen running barefoot down Sunset Boulevard in the middle of the night chasing a woman she suspected of once sleeping with Cobain. In January she was arrested and fined $500 for offensive behavior on an airplane during Hole's concert swing through Australia. In February she went ballistic when a package that she claimed contained a ruby engagement ring Cobain had given her was empty when it arrived at her New York City hotel room. Then on Valentine's Day, Courtney—who routinely dives into the mosh pit during live shows and allows herself to be groped by the crowd—berated her decidedly unwowed audience during the taping of an MTV Unplugged show (which airs April 17) in Brooklyn, calling them "[music] industry weasels."
Now, as Love leads Hole on a 10-country tour of Europe—she plans to return May 4 to prepare for her first major film role, in Feeling Minnesota, starring Keanu Reeves—friends and fans are attempting damage control. "She doesn't fit any stereotype as a performer or mother or griever," says Schwartz. "Who has the right to tell her what she should do or say after what she's been through? She really has no boundaries, and people don't understand her. They get confused and, in turn, hate her."
Others, however, applaud Love's behavior. "She's what a rock star probably ought to be," rocker Liz Phair said recently. "She does what she wants, sticks her foot in her mouth and lives a crazy life."
As for her parenting skills, says a friend, Love "is a unique and original, loving and caring mother" who, while on the road, takes Frances for outings to local parks and has been teaching her to swim in hotel pools. Sometimes Frances watches her mother's shows from backstage, wearing giant, yellow ear protectors to muffle the sound. "She's really developing well," the friend says. "She's really a smart kid."
Some credit can go to Frances's paternal grandmother, Wendy O'Connor, who has helped care for the child since her son's death. "She's very perceptive, just like Kurt was," says O'Connor, who adds that at times "it's hard to be around her because she looks just like her dad too."
O'Connor, who describes Frances as a sensitive soul who picks up dead bugs and "seems very concerned about them," has become one of her daughter-in-law's most passionate supporters. "I adore her," O'Connor says. "She sacrificed a lot for Kurt, including her career, almost. She was totally dedicated to helping him survive."
Love, who is not close to her own parents, Oregon therapist Linda Carroll and California publisher Hank Harrison, had settled happily into marriage and motherhood, according to her former mother-in-law. "She tried hard to be domesticated with Kurt," says O'Connor. So much so that during their two-year marriage, she put a Homemaker And Proud Of It bumper sticker on the family Volvo, studied how-to-improve-your-marriage books and learned to cook Kurt's favorite meal, pot roast. "I wish I had a picture of the gleam that came across Courtney's face," says O'Connor, recalling Cobain's praise for Love's cooking. "They truly loved each other."
Some friends believe that Love hasn't fully dealt with her loss. "She's still running in a fog," one says. "She's in a numb emotional state." But O'Connor thinks Love's decision to go on tour was therapeutic and that she will emerge from her ordeal emotionally intact. "She has a survival instinct," O'Connor says. "She knows how to deal with problems. She's very honest about herself. She's headstrong, direct and motivated. I really do adore her," she adds of the willful woman her son left behind. "I wish everyone could be like Courtney."

Drilling the Frozen Fields
|A prototypes for an automated drill that could aid in the search for life on Mars was recently tested on permafrost in the Canadian arctic by researchers at NASA's Ames Research Center.

Probes seeking life on Mars must dig deeply into young craters, gullies, or recently exposed ice to have a chance of finding any living cells that were not annihilated by radiation, researchers report in a new study. One promising place to look for them is within the ice at Elysium, site of a recently discovered frozen sea, they say.
Current probes designed to find life on Mars cannot drill deeply enough to find living cells that may exist well below the surface, according to the study. Although these drills may yet find signs that life once existed on Mars, the researchers say, cellular life could not survive incoming radiation within several meters of the surface. This puts any living cells beyond the reach of today's best drills.
The study, published 30 January in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, maps cosmic radiation levels at various depths, taking into account surface conditions in various areas of Mars. The lead author, Lewis Dartnell of University College London, said: "Finding hints that life once existed–proteins, DNA fragments, or fossils–would be a major discovery in itself, but the Holy Grail for astrobiologists is finding a living cell that we can warm up, feed nutrients, and reawaken for studying."
"Finding life on Mars depends on liquid water surfacing on Mars," Dartnell added, "but the last time liquid water was widespread on Mars was billions of years ago. Even the hardiest cells we know of could not possibly survive the cosmic radiation levels near the surface of Mars for that long."

Unlike Earth, Mars is not protected by a global magnetic field or thick atmosphere, and for billions of years it has been open to radiation from space. The researchers developed a radiation dose model and quantified variations in solar and galactic radiation that penetrates the thin Martian atmosphere down to the surface and underground. They tested three surface soil scenarios and calculated particle energies and radiation doses both on the surface and at various depths underground, allowing them to estimate the survival times of any cells.
The team found that the best places to look for living cells on Mars would be within the ice at Elysium, because the frozen sea is relatively recent–it is thought to have surfaced in the last five million years–and so has been exposed to radiation for a relatively short period of time. Even here, though, any surviving cells would be out of the reach of current drills. Other ideal sites include young craters, because the recently impacted surface has been exposed to less radiation, and gullies recently discovered in the sides of craters. Those channels may have flowed with water in the last five years and brought cells to the surface from deep underground.

Pranab to inaugurate new terminal in Kolkata airport today
The new passenger terminal will have a capacity to handle an annual traffic of 20 million passengers.
New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee will be in Kolkata on Sunday to inaugurate the integrated terminal building of the city's airport. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to be present along with Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh during the inaugural.
The new passenger terminal will have a capacity to handle an annual traffic of 20 million passengers as compared to the present 7.46 million. The state-of-the-art integrated terminal of the Rs 1800 crore modernization project at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport has been successfully completed by ITD Cementation India Limited in joint venture with its parent, Italian-Thai Development Public Co Ltd, Thailand, an ITD Cementation release said in Kolkata on Saturday.
The new airport terminal has a covered area of 2.33 lakh sq metre with 40 immigration counters, 26 conveyor belts, 6 customs counters and 18 aerobridges.
The facilities included 48 international and 80 domestic check-in counters, 38 immigration counters, 23 international and 33 domestic security gates with frisking booths. The release said the terminal could handle 7,452 passengers per hour as compared to the previous 2,850 passengers.
For the comfort of air travellers, the area per peak hour passenger was now 29 sq m as compared to the earlier 15.34 sq m in the international terminal and 22 sq m as compared to the earlier 14.38 sq m in the domestic terminal.
The airport could now handle an Airbus 380, while earlier it could handle aircraft not larger than a Boeing 747. An additional 11 parking bays have been added to the existing 12, increasing the total number to 23.
The ITD, the release said, has vast experience in airports and has earlier built Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, Mandalay International Airport, Myanmar, Don Muang Bangkok International Terminal Expansion and Ahmedabad Airport.

Brant Daugherty: No Lie, Corbin Bleu Is the One to Beat on DWTS
"I'm really watching out for Corbin," Brant Daugherty, 28, recently told PEOPLE mid-rehearsal. "I think he's going to give us a definite run for our money this season."
The Pretty Little Liars actor's partner Peta Murgatroyd noted that Bleu has a lot of previous dancing experience, but she's got her eye on Amber Riley.
"She's amazing," Murgatroyd gushes. "She's got so much energy. The show is about personality and what you can bring to the dance."
When it comes to his own level, Daugherty explains, "I've been a performer for a long time, but I really don't have any dancing experience. I did some of the musicals in high school and I was in the glee club for a little while just to try and gain some skills. … I was not good at it."

Finished my wordcount early today. Funny how some days every word is a battle, and some days it all comes pouring out.
So I re-plug in the TV, catch up on LJ and Twitter, respond to various conversations on my beloved internet.
I read ellen_kushner 's post about her awesome writers' group, and feel pangs of envy. I've wanted a writing group since I started writing seriously in my baby-early twenties, and I've always struggled. Most often, the group just isn't interested in the kind of writing I'm interested in, and I have to sit politely through monologues about the benefits of transparent prose as though I had never heard of the concept before, and only write like I do because I don't know any better. It's even worse when I've done the work to give thoughtful critique on genres and styles that I'm not interested in, but the rest of the group just glazed over when they looked at mine and didn't want to deal with it. I like hard critique, I just don't like being told to become a writer I'm not, to give up everything I like in books and start doing something I don't. I'm not singling out any one group--I've had this issue since I was a teenager, when everyone got real quiet in my college classes and refused to say anything about my poetry. Also not helpful: I've always been the youngest person in the group. Hopefully that'll be irrelevant soon, since I'm not a baby twentysomething anymore.
My good experiences have been with writers' workshops, of which I've been to two and both of which I've loved. And I learned a hell of a lot, the kind of learning I crave having had pretty little in the way of formal writing training. But that's a week, and maybe it's personal shyness and maybe it's enculturated "I don't want to bother anyone," but I feel like it's not done to turn to those same groups for other books when the workshop is done. I fell like that's bad etiquette.
So in a lot of ways I'm on my own until I turn a manuscript in to my editor. I want a writing group, in person if possible, or on chat, or even a couple of awesome pro or semi-pro level beta-readers. (I have beta-readers, but they're all busy with their own stuff and about 70% of people I've ever sent a manuscript to for comment never got back to me.) But it seems so elusive, and I have no idea how to put it together. That whole not wanting to bother people with my silly drafts makes it all the harder.
I think I'd probably have a whole different process if I had a writing group. Sometimes I feel like groups are for cool kids, insiders, and I'm the perpetual geek among geeks, always on the outside. Sometimes I feel like I gave up and I just don't try anymore, so it's my own fault.
But like anything else, agents, editors, therapists, partners--having the right one is more important than just having one, and maybe someday the right one will come along.
At least I have justbeast , who cuddles up to my book and says: when you're writing it it's like a secret that's just mine, but soon everyone will know it. When you finish I'm going to steal it away so it stays mine and no one can read it. And I laugh, and have some margarita.

I can see how it might be difficult for people not familiar with more poetic prose structure to critique it. If someone's not used to writing like that, they might not know how to deal with the prose. And your plotting can be intricate in places as well.
Mind you, I love love your writing, but I can see how it might intimidate people who're part of a crit group with you. I'm sure rosefox could manage it, but she's a special case, and I might be a bit biased :-)

Heh. Rose doesn't like my novels, just my short stories. Plus, you know, she charges. ;)
She liked Orphan's Tales and Fairyland. But, yeah. She charges. One of these days she'll get work doing more than just copyediting someone's fiction. That'll be interesting to watch.
Hey, I trust her judgment a whole lot. I just can't afford to pay for crit, except in trade.
I have no interest in doing more than copyediting! I don't know what makes good writing work; all I know is how to point out where something is broken.
Well, pointing out what's broken is pretty damn important.
Sure, it makes me a good critic. But I don't think it's enough to make me a good editor.
Hm. Makes me want to work with you, because I suspect you'd actually be awesome.
I have liked some of your novels and many of your short stories! The first Orphan's Tales book absolutely won my heart.
Besides, if my critique summed to "I quite like this" or "Meh, not for me" it wouldn't be worth paying for. The critic brain and the personal opinion brain are quite distinct at this point, after nearly ten years reviewing very widely in genres that are not my preferred reading-for-fun.

Allen Crabbe got on the board for Cal to open up the game, but Solomon Hill had a quick answer. Richard Solomon and David Kravish scored consecutive buckets before Kaleb Tarczewski came up with a three-point play. Kravish and Grant Jerrett then exchanged baskets to keep Cal's lead at 8-7 with 15:32 left in the first half.
Mark Lyons hit a three-pointer out of a timeout and Crabbe hit a jumper before Nick Johnson added another three for Arizona. Tyrone Wallace hit one of his own for the Golden Bears, but Jordin Mayes made two free-throws shortly after. A jumper by Bak Bak then tied the game at 15 with 11:25 left in the half.
Solomon Hill made a free-throw less than a minute later and Ashley was fouled on an offensive board, as he made two free-throws. Hill then proceeded to hit a three that forced Mike Montgomery to call timeout for Cal, down 21-15 with 8:47 left. Crabbe and Ashley proceeded to exchange baskets before the media timeout at the 7:37 mark.
Johnson and Tarczewski got to the line and both made one of two free-throws before Crabbe came up with a bucket. Kevin Parrom responded with a three-pointer, but Crabbe and Solomon got consecutive baskets. Two free-throws by Hill then gave the Wildcats a 30-23 lead with a little over four minutes left. Justin Cobbs then proceeded to score his first basket of the game to bring the Golden Bears to within five with 3:53 left.
Wallace scored for Cal before Hill and Lyons hit consecutive threes. However, Solomon made two free-throws and Cobbs made a layup off a turnover to force Arizona to take a timeout leading 36-31 with about a minute left. Tarczewski was able to score out of the timeout, but a turnover led to a Crabbe basket before the half, as Arizona went into halftime up 38-33.
The second half began with a Crabbe basket that was matched by one from Ashley. Cobbs then scored and soon after hit two free-throws to bring the Golden Bears to within 40-39 with 17:49 left in the second half.
After a timeout, Crabbe hit a three and was followed by another basket from Cobbs. Crabbe then got to the line and made both free-throws to extend the Cal lead to 46-40. Crabbe was then fouled by Johnson on a made three and the foul shot gave Cal a ten-point lead with 15:35 left in the second half. Jerrett was able to try to slow down the run with a three-pointer from the corner and an Ashley layup put Arizona back within five.
A Cobbs basket extended the lead to seven before Parrom scored off an offensive rebound and Johnson made a layup off a turnover to force the Golden Bears to call timeout up 52-49 with 12 minutes left. A score off a rebound by Kravish gave Cal the five-point lead before Johnson made one of two free-throws.
Arizona forced Cal deep into the shot clock, but Crabbe was able to back a three right as it expired to put Cal up seven. Lyons responded with a three of his own, but Cobbs hit a jumper off an inbounds play to keep it up 59-53. Hill and Kravish then exchanged baskets as a free-throw by Angelo Chol brought Arizona within five with about seven minutes left. Lyons got to the line seconds later and also made one of two before a three by Crabbe put Cal up 64-57. Parrom scored the next time down court and Hill found Lyons for a layup to cut Cal's lead to 64-61 with 4:51 left.
Bak Bak scored out of a timeout, but Ashley got it back at the free-throw line. Bak Bak then did the same exact thing to keep Cal's lead at five with about 3:30 to go before Ashley picked up a basket to put Arizona within 68-65.
Lyons proceeded to make one of two from the line before a Cobbs three-pointer extended the lead back to five.
Lyons responded with a three of his own with two minutes left, but Crabbe was able to get to the basket and score. A layup by Cobbs with about 40 seconds left then sealed the game for the Golden Bears.

Breakout Football Player of the Week: Shannon Jackson, Fairview
Shannon Jackson, Fairview
Fairview almost pulled off the biggest upset during the opening weekend of the District 10 playoffs, and the Tigers had Shannon Jackson to thank for the close call. Jackson rushed a whopping 46 times for 255 yards and two touchdowns as Fairview put a scare into unbeaten Greenville before the Trojans pulled out a 33-30 victory in the D-10 Class AA quarterfinals Saturday. In the first half alone, he had 30 carries for 205 yards while helping the Tigers to a 24-13 lead at intermission.
The 6-foot 1-inch, 215-pound Jackson closed the season with 1,708 rushing yards after running for 2,014 as a junior. He closed his career with 4,228 yards, a school record by more than 750 yards. That's saying a lot considering Fairview has a tradition of great running backs.

I have a P3 950 PC with a built in Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection. I
use a Motorola Surfboard V5120 directly connected to a Linksys BEFW11S4
router. Over the past few months I have had intermittent drops of my
connection which usually but not always can be corrected by a reset of the
modem and router. I have called Linksys who told me that it might be the
router and I have called Cablevision who assured me it was NOT the modem.
They ran tests and confirmed continues connectivity of the cable modem.
Thnking it might in fact be the router, I went and bought a Linksys WRT54G
router. After a few days I am again getting intermittent drops in my
connection BUT my other 2 PC's on the wireless network are connected.
I am now thinking it may be my ethernet connection.
My device manager saya all is ok but any other diagnostics I can do?? a new
card is cheap enough.
BTW, I have replace all of the cables.

Special To The Journal
BERKELEY SPRINGS - The Morgan County Fair celebrates its 12th anniversary this weekend. The fair may not be as big as others, or have as many animal or agricultural exhibits. But what it lacks, it makes up for in quality and enthusiasm.
Fair president Glenn Ryburn has long wanted to add more livestock. A few years ago they began with the People's Dog Show and Sheriff's Department K-9 demonstrations. Some folks like County Commissioner Brenda Hutchinson bring livestock exhibits such as roosters and other fowl.
Ryburn is glad to announce a Saturday Little Wonders Petting Zoo this year which includes storytelling time about animals.
"We have a logistics problem with livestock, being at the high school," Ryburn said. "We have to build pens and make sure the animals are supervised. But this is a start."
Fact Box
What: Morgan Co. Fair
When: Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Farm Olympics at Widmyer, 7 p.m. followed by concert. Fireworks 9 p.m. Sunday, Noon to 6 p.m.
Where: Berkeley Springs High School and Widmyer Elementary, W. Va. 522 South and Broadway.
Admission: Free. Parking available at Widmyer Elementary with free shuttle
Information: 258-8400 or www.morgan.ext.wvu.edu
The People's Dog Show is now called the Samantha Redston People's Dog Show in honor of Redston, who started it. She passed away from cancer last March.
Ryburn said the dog show and K-9 demos are always popular events.
Friday is the fourth annual Young Artist in the Park art and entertainment show in Berkeley Springs State Park on Washington Street.
There's free swimming from 6 to 9 p.m., and live music starting at 6 p.m. It's sponsored by the Morgan County Fair, Morgan County 4-H, Morgan County Partnership and the Berkeley Springs Lions Club.
Ryburn said it's a chance for the young people to bring their art work or crafts in to a special youth event for judging.
The theme has always been to celebrate Morgan County with all aspects of its citizens, history, culture, nonprofits and activities. All residents are encouraged to participate. They can enter crafts, photography, baked goods, vegetables, or canned products in various contests. Inside the school there will be: cake auctions, quilting, photography, history and genealogical exhibits or information, entertainment, and sports.
There are several "theme" rooms. The history room usually includes exhibits from the Town of Bath, Historic Landmarks Commission, Train Station Committee and Morgan County Historical and Genealogical Society. They will be joined by displays from the Bath-Romney Campaign Historical and Preservation Association and Morgan County Civil War Trails information, as well as Clan Campbell Society of North America's West Virginia chapter.
A highlight this year has to be the Cumberland Valley Fireman's Association parade at 9 a.m. Saturday from the Moose lodge to the fair. The association's regional meeting is hosted by Berkeley Springs this year, so the parade will include about 50 rescue and fire equipment vehicles and some bands. Afterward, the vehicles and equipment will be displayed at the high school for part of the day.
Delectable Mountain Quilters will have the entire humanities building this year for more displays of their handiwork.
The Health Fair Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. offers free health screenings and health education information. Ryburn says the Lions Club has always offered eye screenings to adults and youth. But this year, they have newer equipment for even better children's screenings.
Creekside Anglers came in 2010 with fly fishing demos, and will return again Saturday.
The Farm Olympics on Saturday conducts all types of farm-related games for kids at Widmyer Elementary. They usually are hay stacking relay, herding livestock, gathering of eggs, and a grain toss. There's even a "kids pedal pull" contest.
Cacapon State Park's naturalist will discuss wildlife, and the Department of Natural Resources will have a firearms safety class. The DNR gives firearms safety information. The watermelon-eating contest is always a popular activity.
Entertainment includes the Berkeley Springs High School Band, Marve Ashby and High Octane, Silly Dilly and Break Even on Saturday. The Flashbacks complete Saturday's entertainment as the opening band for the fireworks at Widmyer Elementary at 9 p.m. Sunday, a new event and The Stevens Family show off their stuff.
Wannabe stars can enter Sunday's new Talent Show. The talent show was a fair event in the first or second year, and is being revived to become a talent contest.
Ryburn said entertainment chairman Jonathan McBee had long wanted to have a talent contest. Prizes include guitar lessons and a demo CD at Black Cat Music Studio. Enter at Black Cat Music Shop on Washington Street in Berkeley Springs or call the extension office for more information.
Each day, the West Virginia University History Wagon from Jackson's Mill will show kids of all ages what it was like 100-plus years ago.
Food is a large part of any fair, with local nonprofits selling baked goods or local cooks entering their recipes in contests.
How many of us grew up hearing, "Don't play with your food?" For all would-be food artists the Decorated Vegetable or Fruit contest encourages us to play with our food - really.
The "What's It" exhibit was popular in 2011. It shows oddball items brought by residents. The idea is to figure out what "it" is. Items are accepted today from 4 to 7 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.
Bring that ugly lamp from home for the Ugly Lamp contest. It can be born ugly or made ugly.
Whatever one's interest - music, food, crafts, health, animals or the environment - Ryburn says there's something for everyone to enjoy and learn.
A free shuttle will transport fair goers Saturday and Sunday from Widmyer Elementary School to Berkeley Springs High School.

It's been a number of hours since Dmitri Chesnokov's article on Alexei Kovalev was posted on Puck Daddy and I'm a bit taken aback by the number of Senators fans who give two shits for what Kovalev has to say about anything anymore. Even if it is just some japes and barbs directed towards the city's traditional sports media and former head coach Cory Clouston.
Sure, I realize that some of this can be attributed to the fact that it's the beginning of August and the nation's capital is starving for whatever kind of information that it can get. Or the fact that there are many in this city who don't think much of Ottawa's sports media community or Cory Clouston. Nonetheless, we're still talking about a player who has received the lion's share of criticism for being unable to live up to the lofty expectations created by the 2-year $10 million contract – despite the fact that no one twisted management's arm to sign him to that deal. (Or did. Depending on whether or not you believe that The Euge 'allegedly' pressured Murray into getting the deal done.)
Like it or not, Kovalev's reputation preceded his arrival into town. He was a highly skilled mercenary brought in to satiate a hockey market that was still reeling after Dany Heatley's trade request was leaked earlier in the offseason. And like every other city that Kovalev left town, fans in Ottawa felt like they would had they exited a Chinese restaurant that served its food covered in MSG. We left feeling like he should have had more out of the experience.
Yet, if you were to look back at Kovalev's NHL career, there has never been much fluctuation in Kovalev's even strength production. It has been fairly consistent. (Yes, even when he came to Ottawa.) And whenever he did have an exceptional season, it was because his numbers were boosted considerably by vastly improved power play point production.
For the past two years, I used to joke with friends that the difference between a good Kovalev game and a bad one was one or two goals. I never noticed a considerable deterioration in his work ethic or effort. He always struck me as a player who relied too heavily on his innate natural talent to get the job done on the ice. Perhaps it was for this reason that he grew frustrated by the media dogging his reputation for a player who shows up every second or third game.
Of course it didn't help that he used every opportunity to absolve himself of any blame when a microphone was placed in front of him.
In Ottawa, he was a scapegoat for Cory Clouston. In Pittsburgh, he wasn't a good fit for Dan Bylsma's style of play. And if it doesn't work out in the KHL next season, it might be because the transition to a larger ice surface is difficult for a player who has grown accustomed to playing on the smaller North American surfaces.
Ironically, the funny thing about Kovalev's legacy is that he reiterates that everything he has done in the game was for his team and his fans. Yet in Montreal, he spurned the only fans and media that seemed to gravitate towards him. Preferring instead to act like a hired gun – chasing the money and term to play for the division rival Senators.
Sound familar?
It should, in the same interview that Chesnokov translated, Kovalev said, "I didn't want to spend my summers sitting on travel bags. I realized that I will not get a contract longer than one year in North America. Atlant gave me a two year contract."
Yes, the Kontinental Hockey League's Atlant Mytischi. The same organization that Ray Emery went to after failing to find a NHL gig of his own. Beware Alexei! With hair like yours, you need to watch out for the equipment manager who loves to put hats on his players' heads while they sit on the bench!
I digress. With Kovalev, he always had to be comfortable and in Ottawa and it never materialized under Cory Clouston's watch. And the revelation that the former coach had trouble communicating with his players is not a foreign one. And neither is his disdain for the local media for that matter.
But let's take a look at what he had to say about Clouston first…
"You have to treat players kindly. If you leave someone on the bench you should explain why it happened. This is coach's job. But when a player is benched and doesn't understand what is happening, he becomes lost."
"In two seasons I still couldn't understand the ideas of our coach Cory Clouston. It seemed that he scoffed at some players."
Communication, like pairing suits and ties, was never Cory Clouston's forte. So allow TSN's Scott Cullen to point out why Kovalev was problematic last season…
Proportionate to his ice-time, Kovalev had the fifth worst even strength giveaway per 60 minutes of ice-time ratio in the NHL last season and the second worst even strength assist per even strength giveaway ratio in the league.
Truth be told, Clouston's had difficulty managing egos. Heatley wouldn't play for him. Kovalev too. Sergei Gonchar lifts his arms up in frustration because he doesn't know how to describe the kind of system that Ottawa played under the former coach. What else needs to be said?
Moving on, here are some of Kovalev's thoughts on the media below.
"And the fact I am criticized… There are different journalists. My opinion of Ottawa journalists is that they don't watch hockey at all. When they fly with the team and go through the [metal detector] at an airport, their bags are filled with beer. You realize right away what these people do when they write about the NHL.
Twitter follower @BobbyBKelly put it best, "Honestly, I'm just insulted by the insinuation that hockey watching and beer drinking aren't compatible activities. Son of a bitch!"
Although I doubt that the TSA has allowed persons to bring liquids back on planes in their carry ons, even if true, I can't help but wonder whether Kovalev is just bitter that Ottawa's media declared their alcohol at the border instead of smuggling it on his plane for a fee.
Joking aside, in light of last summer's treatment of Jason Spezza, I know a lot of fans will rejoice and relish this cathartic blast directed towards the local media here in Ottawa. For years it has seemed like there have been players who have been subjected to the wraths and criticisms of local scribes because they're easy targets. Names like Vinny Prospal, Radek Bonk, Joe Corvo, and Brian Elliott immediately spring to mind. That's not a complete list by any means but there's been a prevailing undertone in this city that a number of fans are dissatisfied with the way that the Senators have been covered.
Fair or not, I'm eagerly anticipating their rebuttals.
"Let them make up nonsense about me. But I am happy with what I have done. I have played not for myself but for the team and fans. Teammates have never said a bad word about me. Fans are happy. I am approached on the street in Montreal, New York and told one thing: 'Don't take the bad to your head. We always support and love you. You're the best.'
"I am annoyed when people write [nonsense]. Figuratively speaking, to earn half a hundred dollars they are ready to make up some garbage. But they show that they're doing their job."
As hilarious as Kovalev's comments were, it's tough to get to get too worked up about them. As one emailer wrote, his comments contained some truth, some fabrication, some omission.
An astute observation. Sounds like his presence in an Ottawa lineup.

Last week, I read through a list of brands that were expected to disappear sometime in 2012. This list included things like A&W Restaurants, MySpace, and Kellogg's Corn Pops. In today's world these kinds of list are quite common. That is why it is even more amazing to see a brand that is making a comeback. Towne Club is a brand of soda pop that was created in Detroit, Michigan. I am seeing them pop up more and more at my local grocery stores. They have even came out with some brand news flavors that have Michigan ties to them. One of them is their Michigan Cherry. This cherry pop contains a percentage of real Michigan cherry juice. I am glad to see another company turning to natural ingredients when it comes to flavoring their soft drinks. Artificial cherry flavor cannot compare to the real deal.
This is a great cherry pop, good flavor and nicely carbonated. A cherry soda pop tasting like cherries, who would have thought. The best test is if my wife likes it or not. She can't stand anything with fake cherry flavoring in it. She thought this was a good one. This is probably the best product I have had from Towne Club. Not only is the brand stay alive, it's getting better!
Where to Buy
I have seen it at several stores in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area including Plum Market, Vince & Joe's, and Hiller's. Feel free to leave the name of a place that you have found it in.

Bolivia Bans Use of Animals in Circuses
The Associated Press
July 30, 2009
By CARLOS VALDEZ
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP)– Bolivia has enacted what animal rights defenders are calling the world's first law that prohibits the use of animals in circuses.
A handful of other countries have banned the use of wild animals in circuses, but the Bolivian ban includes domestic animals as well.
The law, which states that the use of animals in circuses "constitutes an act of cruelty," took effect on July 1 and operators have a year to comply, according to the bill's sponsor, Rep. Ximena Flores.
The law was proposed after an undercover investigation by the nonprofit London-based group Animal Defenders International, or ADI, found widespread abuse in circuses operating in Bolivia.
Flores said authorities are seeking to keep circus operators from killing animals they can no longer use.
"About 50 animals are circulating in national and international circuses at the moment (in Bolivia) and we want to negotiate to make sure that the animals aren't eliminated," she said.
ADI chief executive Jan Creamer called the law "groundbreaking."
The group's undercover investigators in Bolivia worked side-by-side with circus workers and filmed disturbing mistreatment, she said, adding that poorly paid and trained workers routinely abused animals.
"If they wanted an animal to move, their immediate reaction was a kick or a punch or a shove," she said.
She said circus animals suffer everywhere — including in wealthy countries such as The United States — from living in tight quarters and being constantly transported.
"It's rather as if you and I were asked to spend the rest of our lives living in our bathroom," said Creamer. "In Bolivia there were three brown bears being kept in tiny compartments that were just 2-by-3 meters."
