Titus Oates presents his version of the Popish Plot to a London magistrate, Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey. Oates claims that the Pope has ordered the Jesuits to overthrow Charles II with French and Spanish aid. Eventually the entire plot is revealed to be little more than a fictional concoction, but in the meantime, anti-Catholic panic precipitates the Exclusion Crisis aimed at removing James Duke of York from the succession.

Hall & Oates
If you're still hearing Voices—H&O's fine early-1981 album with all those hits—this album may be a letdown. For one thing, their new LP has no number as solid and hard-hitting as You Make My Dreams, one of their best cuts in their 12 albums together. Tunes like Looking for a Good Sign and Mano a Mano are slick derivations of a Temptations or Four Tops sound. It's not so much blue-eyed soul as heavily mannered pseudo-soul, a familiar lapse for this duo. What keeps Private Eyes from being a total stiff are the harmonically lush and instrumentally bright Friday Let Me Down and Tell Me What You Want. Well, as long as they asked: more rock, less shlock.

Green Tea Shown to Improve Memory
By Tawnya Manion | September 19, 2012
Green tea possesses a plethora of health benefits including a potential to fight cancer, lower your risk for heart disease, increase the metabolism, and decrease the possibility of developing diabetes or dementia. According to a new study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, green tea may also improve memory and spacial awareness.
The study consisted of scientist isolating and making a concentration of EGCG (epigallocatechin-3 gallate), the main ingredient in green tea, and feeding it to one out of two groups of mice. One group of mice had imbibed ECGC and the other was simply a control group. The mice were trained for three consecutive days to find an unconcealed platform in their maze. Then, they trained for seven more days to find a hidden rostrum with in their complexes. The results of the test found that the mice that were given the ECGC discovered the hidden podium faster than the mice in the control group. Therefore, the scientific experiment showed that EGCG boosts memory and learning by helping rodents recognize the object and improve their spacial memory. According to Yun Bai, the scientist that lead the study, "We propose that EGCG can improve cognitive function by impacting the generation of neuron cells, a process known as neurogenesis. We focused our research on the hippocampus, the part of the brain which processes information from short-term to long-term memory."
Green teas, such as Ambessa's Lingonberry Green, helps mask the astringent taste some people experience when drinking green tea. The fruit-forward flavor from the Lingonberry balances the green zest resulting in a refreshing drink that energizes and hydrates the body, along with deliver copious amounts of health benefits. Drinking green tea along with eating a well balanced diet directly effects your health in a positive way.

(Mikey) Garcia Feeling Fine After Surgery
(The following is an article by ESPN's Dan Rafael: )
Other than a little facial bruising following surgery to repair his busted nose, newly crowned featherweight titlist Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia is feeling and sounding good.
Garcia suffered the broken nose just before the end of the eighth round against Orlando Salido on Jan. 19 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York when Salido rammed him in the face with an accidental head-butt.
The ringside doctor determined that Garcia could not continue, so the fight was stopped and sent to the scorecards for a technical decision. Garcia, who had dropped Salido four times in a thoroughly dominant performance, won the lopsided decision and a slice of the 126-pound title.
Garcia, 25, of Oxnard, Calif., had surgery Friday to repair his nose.
"I look more beat up after surgery than I did after the fight," Garcia joked when we spoke on Monday. "I'm a little beat up around the nose, and my eyes are a little black after the surgery. But it went as planned and shouldn't be too long of a recovery time."
Garcia (31-0, 26 KOs) said he went home from the hospital just an hour or so after the procedure and feels fine now.
"My nose is a little stuffy and it's a little hard to breathe, but I'm fine," he said. "I have a post-op visit on Tuesday. I'm going back to the doctor and he will check me out and see how the healing process is going and tell me know long until I get to train and spar again."
Cameron Dunkin, Garcia's manager, said the hope is to schedule Garcia's first title defense in May, but that it more likely will be in June.
"The surgery went fine and he will be ready in May, and when I mentioned that to [Top Rank executives] Todd [duBoef] and Carl [Moretti], they said he probably wouldn't be scheduled until June," Dunkin said.
One potential opponent Dunkin mentioned is Orlando Cruz (19-2-1, 9 KOs) of Puerto Rico, the WBO's leading available contender. Cruz, of course, made international headlines last fall when he became the first active boxer in history to announce that he is gay.

Garcia beats Orlando easy. I feel like there is unfinished business against Salido.
At the end of the Salido/Garcia fight, Robert went across the ring and was cursing at Salido for Mikey's broken nose. Not to gentleman like

Keep Reading to Learn How You Can Take Advantage of This Nearly "Hands Free" Operation that Rakes In the Cash 24/7!
If you haven't heard much about pay-per-view advertising yet – don't wait until it's too late. Pay Per View or PPV as it's commonly called, is a breakthrough new form of online marketing that lets you buy super-targeted traffic as low as 1 cent per click, and convert it into $40 per sale or more – all by leveraging the unique advertising angle of
"Permission-Based" Advertising
A well-crafted PPV campaign can net you several thousand dollars in profit, without any extraordinary talent, skills or time. It's not uncommon for even average marketers to have a return on their investment that far surpasses even the BEST pay per click marketing campaign.
Can you imagine an ROI of 400%? 700% or more? All without a list or even a website, or even a product of your own?
Here's Exactly What You Need to Know about PPV
Pay per view marketing works by distributing your ad, CPA offer, affiliate link or landing page to hundreds of thousands of users who have expressly agreed to receive such offers. People often see these ads when they've agreed to receive a free magazine subscription, a free ringtone or game or other promotional discount.
But PPV goes well beyond traditional banner ads!
For one thing, you don't pay "per click" like you do on PPC search engines and banner ad networks. Rather, you pay based on how many times your ad is shown – and the prices are currently EXTREMELY low, often as little as one cent per viewing impression!
Let's take a look at how a real-world PPV scenario would play out.
Say you're targeting people who enjoy playing online games. There's no shortage of free games out there, and anyone can sign up and join for free as long as they agree to install the software on their computer. These people also don't mind seeing ads pop up every now and then as they play – they're just focused on playing that game.
As a marketer, this particular pool of individuals could be very profitable for you if you targeted them with certain affiliate offers, such as how to boost their level in World of Warcraft or earn more gold. Some affiliate products pay as much as 75% per sale, netting you the lion's share of the profits for every successful purchase.
And, unlike pay-per-click advertising, you're not embroiled in a bidding war with fellow affiliates also promoting Warcraft guides – yet you're getting the same (or better) targeted, relevant and ready-to-act audience for a much lower cost!
And If That Isn't Enough to Get Your Head Spinning with Limitless Profitable Ideas – Just Close This Page Now and Don't Come Back.
One thing is certain, using PPV – you'll be reaching eager, determined buyers. Forget people who are "afraid" of the internet, or need loads of guarantees in place before they buy. These are sophisticated computer users who know what they want, and will go after any given opportunity the moment it presents itself.
That means, for internet marketers like you…
These Users are "Low Hanging Fruit" That's Ripe for the Picking!
Because let's face it, you've always wanted to be able to "cherry pick" your ideal customers, right? Wouldn't it be nice if you could simply upload a URL and drive immediate traffic to your landing page or affiliate offer?
With pay-per-view advertising – you can do just that!
But with all these benefits surrounding pay per view marketing, you might be inclined to search Google for resources out there that can help you make the most of this hot new trend before everyone and their dog jumps on the PPV bandwagon.
You'll Find Absolutely NOTHING of Value!
Yes – that's how NEW pay per view marketing is! Like most red-hot marketing techniques, when there's nothing out there, you typically have to feel your way through it, blindly stumbling along, making mistakes, until you carve out a profitable path for yourself that others can follow.
But you don't have to – because I've done all the work for you in not just helping you get started with pay per view marketing – but helping you succeed at it! With just a little effort and basic knowledge of how PPV works, you'll be well on your way to cashing in on this lucrative marketing strategy --
And I'm Going to Show You EVERYTHING, Step-by-Step, with my Just-Released Guide – PPV Riches!
With PPV Riches, you'll be able to confidently tap into a massive pool of engaged, interested users who are comfortable with online advertising, and won't hesitate to check out a great offer. PPV Riches is a direct, step by step tutorial for not only getting started with PPV marketing, but also launching your first successful campaign, tracking your return on investment, tweaking and testing your offers – and much more!

Exactly What Kind of Users Are Participating? (p. 11) – One PPV network boasts over 20 MILLION USERS! Find out what sort of people your offers will be attracting, how to target your ads to be laser focused in reaching them, and how to "test the waters" with a small pay per view campaign before you launch into full-scale advertising.
How to Buy Keywords for a Penny Each! (p. 15) – If you remember the "good old days" of Google Adwords advertising, you'll remember that competition was extremely low and returns were very good. PPV is truly "uncharted waters" when it comes to putting your offer, landing page or ad out there in front of millions of eyeballs! And unlike PPC bidding wars, you can get started buying lucrative keywords in PPV for as low as a penny per view!
Which PPV Companies Should You Join? (p. 21) – There are lots of reputable PPV companies out there, and the Pay Per View Advertising Guidebook lists the best, along with pros and cons to consider before you sign up.
What to Watch Out For when Using PPV (p. 24) – Are there any reasons why you shouldn't use pay per view marketing? Much of the answers will depend on not just your personal preferences, but understanding how other people think, and how they get what they want. Don't miss this section, as it could completely blow everything you think you know about your average user – right out of the water.
How to Blend PPV Advertising with CPA Offers (p. 33) – CPA stands for cost-per-action, and involves you getting paid whenever users perform an action, such as filling out a form or requesting a free sample. CPA offers perform very well on PPV networks when you tailor your campaign to the right audience.

How to Test Your Offers for the Highest Conversion Rates (p. 38) – Using PPV, you can (and should!) test multiple offers simultaneously. But there's an inherent danger in what information you use. That's why I'll show you two terrific ways to keep your testing details safe from prying eyes while your campaigns continue to flourish.
Should You Market Affiliate Products to Your Audience? (p. 43) – There are two major reasons to consider marketing affiliate products instead of CPA offers. Not knowing this could cause your PPV marketing plan to backfire!

But there are several important considerations to keep in mind with your landing page that you ordinarily wouldn't give a second thought about. For example, did you know that playing an automatic audio on your website could get you banned from PPV marketing? Find out what else you're missing before you sabotage your landing pages!

After getting demoted to the bench for two games, New Orleans Hornets small forward Al-Farouq Aminu returned to the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. But instead of having a standout performance, Aminu could not avoid many of the same problems that caused him to lose his starting spot to Xavier Henry last week against the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat.
Like the majority of his teammates, Aminu lacked assertiveness and was unable to make shots. He finished with six points on two-of-eight shooting in 26 minutes during the Hornets' stunning 77-70 loss to the Wizards in front of 10,076 at the New Orleans Arena.
Hornets Coach Monty Williams announced before Tuesday's game that Aminu and rookie guard Austin Rivers were returning to the starting lineup. Rivers had started the first nine games of the season before he was moved to the bench with veteran guard Roger Mason Jr. starting ahead of him. Williams said Henry took a step back last Saturday against the Heat when he was held to five points after taking only two shots. Against the Wizards, he never left the bench.
While Rivers, who scored 11 points, excelled during certain stretches early in the game by attacking the basket for shots, Aminu never made an impact. He took only two shots in the first quarter and went 0-of-2 in the second. In the second half, Aminu scored four points but missed four-of-five shots.
Rivers wasn't much better after halftime, missing three of four shots for two points. The Hornets made only nine of 41 shots, which included going one-of-11 from 3-point range. Rivers missed four of five free throws and the Hornets made just 14 of 22.
"Don't know what we shot in the second half, but we couldn't get a basket,'' Aminu said. "I just wished I would have played better.''
Rivers said the Hornets had some opportunities but didn't capitalize after leading by 13 in the second half. The Hornets held the Wizards to 77 points but neither team shot better than 33 percent. The Hornets shot 32.5 percent, a season low and they failed to score at least 80 points for only the third time this season.
"They just missed a lot of shots like we did,'' Rivers said. "Whatever it was, we were in kind of slow mode type of funk. We should have kept pushing it, but we've got to play with more energy as play as hard as you can. I thought they played with more energy, they just couldn't make shots.''

Guardian Angel Project
By Sergeant Ivan Parrish, Keokuk, Iowa, Police Department
n 2002 the Keokuk, Iowa, Police Department decided to take a proactive approach to the problem of juvenile delinquency in its community. As part of its crime prevention efforts, the department began looking for a program designed to reach troubled youths. Staff researched many of the national programs and found several to be beneficial and worthwhile—yet none seemed to fit exactly what the department had in mind. Ultimately, department leaders decided to create an original program, unique to the Keokuk Police Department, that would both achieve its goals and be financially feasible.
The department set out to focus its program on kids who had already been in trouble and were on probation, attempting to reach them in a positive way while allowing them to fulfill their court-ordered community service. The organization wanted a program that enabled these youths to do something productive and beneficial for others, as well. When planning was complete, the department named its creation the Guardian Angel Project.
This program provides several benefits to these troubled kids. It allows them to create something with their hands; they meet new and positive people; they build a positive relationship with the police; they gain a sense of pride and self-satisfaction for having done something kind for someone else; and they come away from the program feeling fortunate and thankful for their own lives. The department felt that if it could achieve any of these goals with the youths involved, the program would be a success.
Once the Guardian Angel Project had been conceived, the next obstacle was to recruit the help needed to make the program a reality. The Keokuk Police Department needed a ceramic instructor, volunteers from the community to serve as role models, and a facility in which to perform the ceramic work; had to convince the Lee County Juvenile Probation Office to participate in the project and help select the troubled kids; and required help in identifying children to receive the angels. Department representatives pitched the idea to the public while speaking to civic organizations and community groups. Immediately, volunteers began to pour in. In just a matter of weeks, the program had enlisted the services of a ceramic expert to instruct the program, and a diverse and talented group of role models volunteered their time to the project. The department reached out to Keokuk's local school system for an art room, and the Keokuk Middle School was more than happy to donate their facilities for the program. The Lee County Probation Office also came on board and assisted in selecting the right kids for the program. The Children's Hospital of Iowa at the University of Iowa in Iowa City agreed to serve as the program's host facility. The hospital staff agreed to work closely with the program to ensure that it was a success and at the same time considerate of the sick children.
The first annual Guardian Angel Project began in August 2003. On the first night, participating youths were told about the program and what was expected from them. They were challenged to take the program seriously and to do their best work to create something beautiful for these very sick children. They were told that the children they were helping, as well as the children's families, would more than likely treasure the angel figurines they created and would probably display them in a curio cabinet or on a mantle in their homes for years as a symbol of recovery or remembrance, depending on the outcome of their struggle. The youths responded exactly how the Keokuk Police Department had hoped they would: the kids went to work on their angels, they became committed to doing their best, and over the next eight weeks they all created beautiful figurines to deliver to the sick children.
Once all the angels were finished, the youths and their mentors visited the Children's Hospital of Iowa. Along with the angels, the department also supplied custom-made shirts bearing the Guardian Angel Project logo for all in the program and for the sick children receiving the angels. The hospital staff had selected the children who would receive the angels upon the group's visit, explaining that all the recipients had life-threatening illnesses. Some of the children were being treated for cancer of one type or another, some were waiting for organ transplants, and others were battling various illnesses. Out of consideration for the patients' privacy, the group was asked not to inquire about the children's medical condition unless they or their family volunteered the information. They found that most of the families openly shared their child's condition and struggles with them. All of the children and their families were very pleased with their angels. In many of the rooms, it was not uncommon for families to meet the program's youths and role models with hugs and tears of gratitude. As the group made its way from room to room, the troubled kids in the program were noticeably deeply touched by the experience and at times were themselves moved to tears out of compassion for the children suffering in the hospital—and by the fact that they had helped lift their spirits. They realized that these angels, which just eight weeks before had been nothing more than wet clay, had now become powerful symbols of hope and reassurance to these sick children and their families.
After the group had delivered all the angels, the department treated the youths and their role models to lunch at the Olive Garden, where everyone had an opportunity to reflect on the hospital visit. Many of the kids said that they had taken their lives for granted and that they realized they have a second chance. Such comments were a clear indicator to the department that the program was a success.
After the 2003 Guardian Angel Project had ended, the department became aware of another moving story resulting from the Guardian Angel Project's visit to the Children's Hospital of Iowa. One of the recipients of a guardian angel was a six-year old boy named Eric John Schonhoff. Unbeknownst to the project participants when they visited Eric's room, Eric had been given only two weeks to live. He was suffering from a form of cancer called Burkitt's lymphoma. Eric lost his battle with cancer on October 27, 2003, just nine days after he received his angel from the program. Shelly Schonhoff, Eric's mother, advised the department that Eric had been so touched by his guardian angel that he had wrapped it up in Christmas wrapping paper, set it aside, and requested to be buried with his angel so he could take it to heaven with him and give it as a gift to God. His parents honored his request. Shelly Schonhoff shared this with the department in a letter addressed to all who participated in the Guardian Angel Project. This letter can be read in its entirety in the Eric Schonhoff area of the project's Web site (www.guardianangelproject.com).
Because Eric's reaction to his gift epitomized the spirit of the Guardian AngelProject, his story has since become a powerful part of the program, and the project has been dedicated to his memory for as long as it exists. Eric's name has been added to the program's badge logo, around the seal. Reaching troubled youth and lifting the spirits of desperately ill, hospital-bound children have become Eric's legacy.
The Keokuk Police Department has enjoyed this successful program since 2003 and has made it a permanent part of its crime prevention efforts. While the program continues to grow and benefit the Keokuk community and the troubled youth for which it was designed, the department would like to see the program spread beyond Keokuk to other police departments and become part of their crime prevention efforts. Keokuk feels that the Guardian Angel Project achieves the highest standard of community-oriented policing on several levels:
The Keokuk Police Department has made it easy for other departments to start their own Guardian Angel Project by creating a kit to guide them through the process of coordinating and maintaining the program. This kit includes a 48-page guidebook along with a DVD presentation about the program titled The Power of Compassion. The video presentation allows agencies to promote the program to the community, city councils, and department administrations; in a matter of minutes, viewers will know what the Guardian Angel Project is, what it is designed to do, how it operates, and what it has accomplished. They will also be able to see powerful footage of the teens and their role models delivering their angels to children at the Children's Hospital of Iowa. To help defray the expense of creating these kits, the Keokuk Police Department asks for a $35 fee, which includes shipping charges.
Creative Paradise in Goddard, Kansas, created the molds for the angel figurines. The company has recently agreed to give the Guardian Angel Project the rights of ownership of this guardian angel figurine and the molds that create it. By owning these rights, no one else in the world can purchase or manufacture one of these angels or the molds without joining the Guardian Angel Project. The Keokuk Police Department acquired the rights to this figurine so that other departments will use this figurine in their programs in a uniform manner.
Agencies interested in participating are asked to sign an agreement to honor the essential elements of this crime prevention program. Keokuk is excited at the prospect of this program growing and touching other communities. The department believes that law enforcement agencies who implement it as a part of their regular crime prevention efforts will be richly blessed, just as Keokuk has been.

The regular season isn't over for the San Antonio Spurs (49-16), as they still have one game remaining tonight in Golden State. If the Spurs win, they'll end the season having being the only team in the NBA this season to have three double-digit winning streaks.
To have three double-digit winning streaks in one season, and lose less than two games in a row is something no short of amazing. How did this team once again win their conference after failing in such a poor outcome last season, while achieving even more success in a much more compressed, shortened season?
The Spurs had some new faces put onto the team at the beginning of the season; they welcomed back a healthy Manu Ginobili, while also adding rookie Kawhi Leonard and veteran T.J. Ford. Ginobili would go out on January 2nd in Minnesota, where he was sidelined for a good chunk of the season. Danny Green would do what James Anderson was supposed to do as the relief shooting guard for Ginobili, while Gary Neal also found his way back into the Spurs' rotation by showing the ability to play point guard, while also showcasing even more offensive fire power in his arsenal.
Now let's go to January 29th in Dallas, Texas. The Spurs lost to the Mavericks in overtime, and were 12-9 at the time during the season. The significance this game had on the team's future throughout the rest of the season is very difficult to describe with words. The Mavericks were rocking the Spurs so head coach Gregg Popovich decided to put the second unit into the game late in the third quarter. That second unit made a memorable comeback and forced overtime without the starters. Coach Popovich made the decision to stick with the second unit as opposed to reinserting the starters, and though the Spurs lost that night, the amount of pride and cohesiveness gained that night on the floor is what could eventually lead to the Spurs winning their fifth NBA championship.
From that one late January night in Dallas, the Spurs would go 37-7 through the rest of the season entering tonight. Through that time period, several moves were made. Ford made the cautious decision to retire because of a stinger to the upper neck area he received on March 7, versus the New York Knicks, and the team traded Richard Jefferson for Stephen Jackson on the NBA trade deadline date. Jackson would appear in his first game back with the Spurs on March 17, six days later Boris Diaw was signed by the Spurs after being released by the Charlotte Bobcats, and would play his first minutes in a Spurs jersey on March 23. Four days after Diaw made his debut, the Spurs unveiled new backup point guard Patty Mills, who made his way into a game on the March 27. The team was set and is currently 13-2 through 15 games in Aprl with the revamped roster. You've got to give R.C. Buford a lot of the credit for these moves.
Here's a look at how the Spurs' season has shaped out on a month-by-month basis this season.
- December: 4 games, 3-1
- January: 18 games, 10-8 – Key moment: Lose Ginobili to injury. Loss to Mavericks January 29.
- February: 13 games, 11-2
- March: 15 games, 12-3 – Add Stephen Jackson, Boris Diaw, Patty Mills. Lose T.J. Ford, trade Richard Jefferson.
- April: 15 games (1 remaining), 13-2 – Best projection of playoff squad
From December to that Dallas game in late January, the Spurs didn't have a strong identity as to which team they were going to be this season. Ginobili was injured and the team was playing inconsistent basketball, losing to teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, and Sacramento Kings. They were even blown-out against the Miami Heat in the teams' only meeting.
After that loss to Dallas, the first 11-game winning streak began from January 30 to February 20. The second winning streak would begin after the Spurs lost yet again to the Mavericks in their first game with Jackson, as the team won games from March 21 to April 8. And lastly, their current winning streak began with an embarrassing loss at home to the Kobe Bryant-less Los Angeles Lakers, as this winning streak began on April 12, and has carried onward.
So, the Spurs have locked up the number one seed, and are ready for the playoffs. The same could have been said last year, but what makes this teams possible future success any different from last season?
In my opinion, there are two reasons why this team should not have a round one upset, and has a chance to go all the way.
Reason 1) Health – Ginobili was the only member of the 'Big three' who missed an extended amount of games this season. On the bright side, his most significant injury came very early in the season. Because of his injury, Green was able to flourish into the starting shooting guard he is today. This season players have been in and out of the lineup for different reasons, but none have been out because of a major injury. Coach Popovich has limited the veteran players' minutes well by sitting some or all of the 'Big three' on different nights, as well as establishing an offensive system that allows Duncan to mainly shoot jumpers or score off layups and dunks. He also didn't want history repeating itself like last year, when Ginobili broke his arm in the final game of the season against the Phoenix Suns. Coach Popovich has decided to keep the 'Big three' in San Antonio and miss the final two regular season games. A healthy Spurs team against that Grizzlies team last year could have wound up being a different story, but most feel the Spurs weren't deep enough to have made a serious run.
Reason 2) Depth – 25 wins, 9 losses. What do these numbers mean? The significance of these numbers is what really shows off the Spurs' depth and ability to win this season. The team has played 34 total games against all 15-playoff teams this season, and only lost nine of those games.
Here's a month-by-month look at how this has happened.
- December: 3 games vs. MEM-LAC-UTA = 3-0
- January: 8 games vs. DAL-DEN-OKC-MIA-ORL-ATL-DAL-MEM = 5-3
- February: 7 games vs. OKC-MEM-PHI-LAC-UTA-DEN-CHI = 6-1
- March: 9 games vs. DEN-NYK-LAC-ORL-OKC-DAL-DAL-PHI-IND = 6-3
- April: 7 games vs. BOS-UTA-UTA-LAL-MEM-LAL-LA = 5-2
Three losses are the most the Spurs lost to a playoff-level team in a month this year, just three. The Spurs' depth is what has made them the toughest team to match up against because Coach Popovich can use a variety of lineups starting, during, and closing a game. The Spurs want to do one thing against their opponent, make them run up and down the floor by speeding up the tempo. It doesn't matter if the opponent has more height, athleticism, or composure; the Spurs have shown that they can ware a team out with their constant ability to score the basketball. Tony Parker is producing an MVP season in which he's not just scoring, but also showing the passing numbers at the highest rate in his career. The Spurs have perimeter defenders in Green, Leonard, and Jackson. They have solved their frontcourt depth issue by substituting Blair anytime they play a tall team, by throwing Splitter and Diaw into the mix. The Spurs haven't really shown a major weakness this season since January 29, when they lost to the Mavericks.
Sure the Lakers were one of the few teams who slowed down the tempo and beat the Spurs, but the Spurs went on to blow them out in the next two meetings because the Lakers just couldn't sustain the halfcourt offense for a full 48 minutes, the Spurs can.
I've gone to almost all of the home games this season at the AT&T Center and almost every opposing player or coach says the same key words about the Spurs. SHARING-TOGETHER-DIFFICULT TO MATCHUP-BIG THREE-COACH POP-DEEP BENCH-SMART ON DEFENSE. There are more key words in there, but any coach or players talks about the Spurs with those words both before and after a game. These are the words that harness exactly who the Spurs are this season. They're not only one of the most dangerous teams on offense, but their defense is still respected amongst most of their peers. You can tell that teams that see the camaraderie the Spurs have in their locker room as it's shown on the floor, is something players wish they could have back, or have once in their career, as evidenced by Roger Mason Jr. when he visited with the Wizards earlier this season.
I know the saying is, "defense wins championships," but this could be the first team that could change that slogan because this team wins by outscoring their opponent. Though their numbers don't show it, they can actually put together a really good defensive quarter, and in this league where offense is becoming the primary weapon in winning, a plate full of offense and a side of defense might be all you need in the end.
The season is coming to a close, well have to wait and see what happens this weekend in the playoffs, but my thoughts tell me there will be a much more different outcome than last year.

Pickapeppa Sauce, Set of 6

Comments about Pickapeppa Sauce, Set of 6:
Add this to your standard bloody mary mix or plain tomato juice for a delicious bloody mary. I never used to like them until a friend of mine whipped one up with Pickapeppa. Then I couldn't get enough of them! I've never been a big fan of horseradish and this sauce is a great substitute and provides much better flavor. I'm sure it would be a great sauce for other things too.

Romance, Buffalo-style
If Trader Joe's wants to cut it here, they should study Camillo's Sloan Supermarket. The little corner store that had a Valentine's Day Sweetheart Special – for $20, you got dinner for two including two 8-ounce strip steaks, a bag of shrimp, two 3-ounce lobster tails, salad, two twice-baked potatoes and two packaged cookies 'n' cream pie. On Feb. 13, the place was jammed. More than 700 of the specials were already sold – Buzz bought two – and clerks were wheeling up more every minute, barking to customers: "Don't forget your bag of salad!" So romantic! They'll do it again next year. Meanwhile, watch for other specials, including 40-pound boxes of chicken, $1.69 pork loins averaging 18 pounds, and Grandma Camillo's Stuffed Meatball of the Week.
Meteor Central
That blinding, blazing burst of light created by that meteor hitting Russia – it reached here! Immediately after the disaster, the international spotlight shot to the American Meteor Society, headquartered, incredibly, in little Geneseo. The American Meteor Society was quoted in news reports all over the world.
Then when a smaller meteor weighed in over San Francisco, there was the American Meteor Society again, projecting, prognosticating, pontificating. Who knew this center was there? What publicity for our area! We note, though, that most reports wrote not "Geneseo" but "Genesee." Might be time to ratchet up production of that Cream Ale.
Rocky start
Buzz couldn't make it to Mass on Ash Wednesday, and the Catholic Church doesn't do drive-through ashes. So we popped into St. Benedict's in Eggertsville, where they had 12 hours of ashes and confession. Eager to be freed from our copious sins, knelt and waited for the confessional to free up. We waited. And waited. No one went in. No one went out.
It must be empty, we decided. We walked over, inched the curtain aside and – horrors, someone was in there! It was like surprising someone in the restroom! Oh, dear. This is going to be one of those Lents. The writing is on the wall. It's also in the Tops ad this week, by the way. "There is a '10 for $10 Lenten Savings' section," a friend points out. "There's pasta, sauce, fish, vegetables, and … M&Ms?" Another friend answered: "People who hate M&Ms eat them during Lent."
The buzz
Unbelievable, how beer companies demand that you state your birthdate just to view their websites. What is this, some law? Look, pour us one, and then maybe we'll start divulging personal details. … Cheers to Nat Merchant, playing Kleinhans Music Hall in one of those earth mother dresses she always used to wear. It's a refreshing change from other singers we could name who, as our grandmothers would say, leave nothing to the imagination. The big unanswered question, though: Might Merchant be persuaded to take the stage with the 10,000 Maniacs on June 22, when they play the Sportsmen's? Come on, everyone must be wondering.

On Dec. 21 a small group, based out of the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Church on Copper Hill, hosted a Christmas Ball. The second annual ball was a formal event sponsored by the Young Beloved group.
Young Beloved is a group for adults ages 18 to 30 who come together to express and deepen their faith, while connecting socially. Members get together twice per month in social settings and faith formation meetings.
In between
"We are a group of young adults who love God and are seeking more," said Robert Limon, 22, group coordinator. "This is a way to keep us in tune with our faith and give us something to do to free our spirits."
A group of young adults started Young Beloved after graduating high school. They wanted to have a group they could be an active part of, much like the youth group they were a part of for so many years in high school.
"Once we graduated high school there were no groups for young adults, there was no in-between" said Gina Madera, 20, event co-coordinator.
Young Beloved unofficially began meeting in September 2011 and after receiving the parish approval, the group officially began this January.
The group also hosts faith formation meetings where topics such as evangelism and the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas are discussed. Other meetings focus on social aspects. Members meet for barbecues, movie nights and holiday events such as Thanksgiving dinner or the Christmas Ball.
"This group gives me a chance to give back to the church and community and be among friends," Madera said. "I've seen people who were very strong in their faith and then lose it after they graduate high school. This gives people an opportunity to remain close to their faith."
Christmas Ball
The idea for the Christmas Ball came from a desire to have a formal event for the group, much like a prom or Yule ball. So Slattery Hall at St. Kateri was transformed into a winter scene with a Christmas tree, lights and decorations. Attendees donned suits and formal gowns and played games and danced.
The ball featured a king and queen. Nominees were members of the group who had actively volunteered in the parish and community.
"Nominees were people who give their time and who live out their faith; they are role models to our group," Madera said.
The group also invited members of St. Clare's Catholic Church and Our Lady of Perpetual Help to attend the Christmas Ball and invitations were open to friends.
"The event was really fun and very well put together," said Claudia Bangasser, 25, who attended with her husband, David.
Nearly 50 people attended the event. Attendees ate, played ice breaking games, danced and socialized all in a faith-focused setting. Bangasser felt the event was an opportunity for other young adults, who may have never attended Bible studies, to get to know the group in a social setting.
"This is for people who are interested in deepening their faith. There is something for everyone," Limon said. "We come together to meet other young adults and learn about God with people who are of like mind and like age."

'The Mayor' lives it up at 88; film screens at Erie Art Museum
Odds are, you've never met anyone quite like Sam Berger, a self-admitted "tail chaser," with a gleam in his eye and a girlfriend who's 28 years younger.
She's 60. You do the math.
Berger is known as "The Mayor" in a Dallas-area senior retirement living community that also includes Ceil Schwartz, a gossipy, sarcastic senior with huge rimmed glasses, and the more mild-mannered, Southern damelike Dorothy.
Along with Sam's girlfriend Cordy (short for Cordelia), they're the principal characters -- emphasis on characters -- in "The Mayor," an engaging, frequently humorous and occasionally poignant documentary by director Jared Scheib.
With "The Mayor," Scheib focuses on vivacious older folks who embrace life, squabble, gossip, and still think about sex. They're frank and frequently funny, especially Ceil, who has no interest in cleaning up after a man anymore.
Scheib doesn't glorify, but neither does he sentimentalize his subjects. It's a breezy, ultimately touching film that proves you can live life to the fullest at 80 and beyond, if you choose.
Scheib said he was inspired to make "The Mayor" after he visited his grandmother at her senior community.
"This couple walked by holding hands, and she goes, 'Oh, go get a room!' I was like, 'Maw-Maw, are people having sex here?' And she says, 'Oh, sure. Just because you're getting older, doesn't mean you have to die.'"
Later that night, he learned one of her friends was sent to another facility because of her Alzheimer's. He realized "there is a whole other life going on at retirement age that I didn't have access to and didn't know anything about."
Turns out, "Maw-Maw" is Dorothy. She jokingly told Scheib she deserved a bigger part. But what he does show is touching. She visits her husband's grave and talks to him, filling him in on what's going on at the center.
Our youth-centered culture tends to marginalize seniors, but "The Mayor" sagely shows that age is in the mind of the beholder.

It came as no shock when Gov. Chris Christie quickly vetoed the same-sex marriage bill without batting an eyelid last week, but momentum and a game plan are keeping the state's gay marriage advocates from getting discouraged.
"It was not surprising," said Steve Goldstein, CEO of gay rights organization Garden State Equality, of Christie's decision. And of course it wasn't, as the Republican governor promised for weeks that he wouldn't let the legislation get past his desk if and when the time came.
"It's why I chose not to waste a breath in pleading with the governor not to veto and have put Garden State Equality immediately to work to achieve an override," Goldstein said in an online statement immediately following Christie's anticipated stamp of disapproval.
"The great news is, we have until the end of the legislative session, in January 2014, to do it," Goldstein said.
An override would require 54 votes in the Assembly and 27 in the Senate, with Republican votes being key in both chambers to succeed.
The bill initially passed with 42 votes in the Assembly and 24 in the Senate.
Though it's been said that turning a Christie veto around is no small task, state Sen. President Stephen M. Sweeney believes it's not far-fetched.
"We were three votes short of an override [in the Senate]," said Sweeney, D-3, of West Deptford Township. "We've got to work to be beyond the issues, and we have to work to get beyond the primaries."
After speaking with a select number of Republicans, Sweeney said he believes they voted along with Christie because they felt their seats in office were "threatened."
Others believe Christie's swift veto was a politically savvy move to ensure his conservative supporters stay in his ring if he were to consider a presidential race in 2016.
"We're going to go to work. We've already shown enormous growth in two years," proclaimed Sweeney, the poster child for political evolution as far as many gay-marriage supporters are concerned. "This is not an impossible task."
When a similar bill was considered two years earlier, then-Gov. Jon Corzine pledged to sign it before leaving office. But Sweeney abstained from voting at the time and perhaps directly aided in the measure's defeat — a move he now claims to be one of the biggest regrets of his life.
The Senate also churned out 10 fewer votes in favor of gay marriage just two years earlier.
Though Sweeney happens to be a product of the Catholic church which opposes gay nuptials, the Senate leader has emphasized that the issue of legalizing gay nuptials doesn't fall into the realm of religion.
"This is a civil rights issue," Sweeney has repeatedly said. "And I found that most people don't even care. They're more concerned with gas prices and paying their bills."
In 2006, New Jersey legalized civil unions, a move which was supposed to provide the same legal protections, benefits and recognition to committed gay couples as married heterosexual couples have.
Along with his veto, however, Christie proposed the creation of an ombudsman to ensure compliance with the civil union law. It's widely believed that civil unions haven't accomplished what they were created to do, according to what the equal rights organization Lamda Legal has been arguing on behalf of many.
In June 2011, under the representation of Lamda Legal, seven gay couples and their children who claim to have been harmed by the discrepancies of civil unions filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court demanding that New Jersey recognize gay marriage.
The couples testify that when it comes to insurance offices, workplace benefits and hospital emergency rooms, a marriage license always trumps a "civil union," whether it's because of a lack of education or discrimination.
In November, the court ruled that Lambda Legal could proceed with a claim that the concept of civil unions violates the constitutional "equal protection" clause.
As the result of a ruling last Tuesday, the court will allow Lambda Legal to proceed with both a state and federal equal protection claim.
"We are pleased that the New Jersey Superior Court will allow us to show how civil unions fail to provide to same-sex couples the equality promised by both the New Jersey Constitution and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution," said Jon Davidson, legal director at Lambda Legal. "Having both a state and federal equal protection claim will only make our case stronger. We look forward to presenting a complete record of the discrimination that New Jersey's same-sex couples and their children face because of their relegation to civil unions rather than marriage."
But, if not a highly-contested issue of equality in the state or the country, could gay marriage beg the question of economics?
According to an impact study completed by the Williams Institute two years ago, extending marriage to same-sex couples would boost the state economy by more than $200 million, create and sustain 1,400 new jobs, and generate $15.1 million in new revenue for state and local governments within the first three years of legalization.
This potential economic boon is attributed to weddings costs, license fees, tax revenue, and the massive amount of tourism from wedding guests as well as out-of-state couples looking to settle down in the Garden State.
The study also suggests that approximately 35,000 same-sex couples from other states would come to tie the knot in New Jersey.
Even in a state with nearly $40 billion in debt, it's uncertain whether money is enough of a reason for the legislature to override the governor's veto.
The movement continues for many supporters, however, to grant all taxpayers in the state the right to wed under the law, despite any obstacles.
Six other states and the District of Columbia currently grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"We're keeping on top of this. We're doing what we've always done. We're educating people one-by-one, and same-sex couples are very encouraged by the passage of the bill and the Lamda Legal lawsuit," said Goldstein.
"Obviously, we would like marriage equality today. But we know it will come sooner rather than later."
- Chris Christie says no to N.J. gay marriage bill, would agree to strengthen civil union law
- Clergy exemption can't make N.J. gay marriage bill right
- Sweeney steadfast on gay marriage bill, citing civil rights

By MIKE BOGEN
It just does not get old.
Nor does it get boring, or tired, or expected.
The fifth straight Western Massachusetts Division I championship is just as good as the first; just ask any of the Central High School wrestlers who last night extended the Golden Eagles' string of titles from 2004 to 2009 with a 39-13 victory over West Springfield.
Or ask their coach, Darby McLaughlin.
"There's no difference, none at all," said the coach, whose return this year after missing part of last season was a personal triumph as well. "It just doesn't get any easier. Every year it's a battle, from the beginning to the end.
"I give West Side tremendous credit. Two of the four teams showed up tonight and threw caution to the wind," he said. "There's the state meet in just a few days, but they (West Side) gave it all they had in this one."
Indeed, the Golden Eagles and Terriers got to the championship meet the same way - by defeating opponents whose coaches left their most accomplished wrestlers on the bench.
Central faced a Putnam team that filled only eight weight classes, and did not use six of its seven state qualifiers, while West Side met a Longmeadow team that benched all nine of its state qualifiers and competed in only half of the 14 weight classes.
As a result, Central's 41-0 victory and West Springfield's 42-0 win were not nearly as competitive as they might have been and fans who paid $7 (for an adult) admission missed the opportunity to see Western Mass. champions Anthony Medina, Ezekiel Nwafor, Chris DeLuca, Ian Altman, Thomas Caliento, Dmitriy Donskoy and Dmitri Clarke compete.
The championship meet began at 140 pounds, a blessing for the Golden Eagles, who got to send Western Mass. champ Bemnet Banks and third-place finisher Ruben Gonzales (145) to the mat for expected victories and got them.
Banks took a close 11-6 decision over West Side's tough Kenny Line, and Gonzalez scored a major decision to give the Golden Eagles a 7-0 lead before their 152-pounder Anthony Brooks won a tech fall, 15-2, just as time was running out to make it 12-0.
West Side's Brady Walsh and Central's Kashaun Ruiz staged the first thriller of the meet at 160, with the Central wrestler trailing 5-4 before scoring a takedown to take a 6-5 lead going into the third period. Ruiz, a junior, scored a reversal midway through the third period to win it 8-5 and give the Golden Eagles a 15-0 lead.
West Springfield scored its first points when 171-pounder Ralphy Marquez topped Central's Anthony Williams 11-7. That one was tied 5-5 after two periods when the Terriers were awarded a controversial point during the choosing of positions to start the third period. Williams quickly made that point, and one more up, but Marquez scored a takedown to make it 8-7 and then got a near fall in the final seconds.
The world lost what might have been an excellent bout between Western mass. 189-pound runner-up Steve Wrona of West Side and that class's third-placer Bobby Contant of Central when West Side coach Gerry Meyers started pushing his wrestlers up a weight class, almost from the get-go, and Wrona wound up competing at 215.
Contant's match with Illi Cojacaru at 189 turned out to be outstanding in its own right, though, with the latter taking a 2-1 decision to cut Central's lead to 15-6.
Wrona wrestled at 215, where he and Central's Alex Ocasio put on an excellent match for two periods before matters were settled while the clock was still midway through the third period and West Side was awarded three consecutive penalty points while the wrestlers setting up. Wrona's 9-8 decision cut Central's margin to 15-9.
Josh Moore stemmed West Side's tide with a major decision (11-2) at heavyweight that extended Central's lead to 19-9; 103-pounder Daniel Salgado scored a 15-0 tech fall and 112-pound Western Mass. champ Robby Flores edged stubborn Mizam Tamaradze 3-0, as Central took it to a 27-9 lead.
Jake Pond's 11-2 decision at 119 kept the Terriers mathematically alive until Jorge Cruz, swapping classes with usual 125-pounder George Wilson, clinched Central's championship with a 3-1 victory at 125.
Mount Greylock 42, Southwick 36: Apparently, the host Mounties told the Rams that eight is too much.
Top-seeded Mount Greylock ended Southwick's stranglehold on the Western Massachusetts Division III team championship at seven in a row Tuesday at Williamstown.
"We blew it, it was ours to win and we didn't do it," Southwick coach Ed Martinez said. "We didn't rise to the occasion, and they did. They were a better team today."
The Rams, who posted a 44-24 win over Mount Everett in the semifinals, won four matches, and the Mounties won six. Each team added a pair of wins by forfeit, Cole Ludorf and Tom Despard winning at 112 and 119 pounds, respectively by forfeit.
On the mat, the Rams were impressive as Paul Woodman (152), Anthony Falcetti (160), Jose Cruz (215) and Bob Goodman (285) pinned.
A swing match was at 145 pounds as Mount Greylock's Eli Coniglio won 9-8 over Anthony Spirito.
The Mounties, who defeated Granby 46-24 in the semifinals, won on pins by Kyle Folino at 140 and Stephanie Lindner at 103.
Fourth-seeded Granby saw Mack Ransford (130), Brendan Monaco (135), Billy Os (160) and Tyler Prottengeier (171) win by pin in the semifinals.
