Belgian Ruling Ignites Protest
Approximately 250 Los Angeles Jews demonstrated in front of the Belgian consulate on Friday, Feb. 14, to protest the ruling by Belgium's Supreme Court to allow Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to be tried for war crimes following his term as premier.
The ruling to try Sharon for war crimes for his alleged connection to the 1982 massacre of Palestinian Arabs in Beirut by Lebanese Christians, opens the way for survivors of the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre to press their case in Belgian courts after Sharon leaves office.
During the demonstration, which was sponsored by StandWithUs, organization president Roz Rothstein and Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, met with Belgian Consul General Frank Geerkens to express the Jewish community's consternation over Belgium's position on the 20-year-old issue, which has already been resolved in the Israeli court system.
"This is bogus and blatant pandering to anti-Israel Muslim voters by a country that has failed to deal with its own sordid history of genocide and collaboration in the 19th and 20th centuries," Cooper said.
Geerkens said that the court system is separate from the Belgian government and that he could nothing on the matter.
StandWithUs staff members said they will continue to encourage the community to monitor the issue. -- Staff Report
Blood Crisis Sparks Bikur Cholim Drive
Bikur Cholim (Jewish Healthcare Foundation-Avraham Moshe & Yehudis Bikur Cholim) organized a blood drive in Los Angeles. With a less than a one-day supply of certain blood types and with city hospitals experiencing a critical blood shortage, Bikur Cholim made special arrangements with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Childrens Hospital and UCLA to open its blood donor facilities or be at a designated site.
"The experience was unbelievable," said Nechama Kram, Bikur Cholim blood donor program coordinator. "There was such a high level of energy at each location, with so many people who came to donate."
"Our blood drive goal is to support the blood donor facilities of our community hospitals," said Rabbi Hershy Ten, organization president. "Blood donated at our drives is provided to each blood donor facility free of charge."
For information about Bikur Cholim, call (323) 852-1900 or visit www.bikurcholimonline.org . -- Staff Report
Memorial Service Honors Astronauts
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) speaks at a memorial service for the seven astronauts killed aboard the space shuttle Columbia that was. The ecumenical service, held at Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel in Westwood on Feb. 15, drew 700 people. The memorial event included gospel songs by the First A.M.E. Church Choir; Hebrew ballads sung by Ayana Haviv, "American Idol" semifinalist Hadas Shalev and the L.A. Shir Choir; and a northern Indian classical piece performed by Nasir Syid, Ryan Sullivan, Miles Shreusbury and Etai Shapira. Actor-musician Theodore Bikel was the event's master of ceremonies. Many local officials, including Sherman and County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky spoke at the service. NASA representatives also addressed the gathering. One of the evening's highlights was video training footage and interviews with Israeli astronaut Col. Ilan Ramon; his wife, Rona, and two of their four children. -- Wendy J.

On Tuesday, Maryland made history as the first state in the nation to pass marriage equality through a referendum vote. The victory – followed by a similar one in Maine the same day – marks a major civil rights milestone, as marriage equality advocates had previously lost 32 straight referendum votes.
After the election results came in, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley tweeted "A message to Maryland's kids: whether your parents happen to be gay or straight, your families are equal under law."
The victory is largely attributable to activists in Maryland, who involved Republicans, Roman Catholics, African American church leaders and labor unions in the campaign.
Staff at Campaign Consultation, Inc. took part in advocacy activities for marriage equality over the past year; mobilizing for Annapolis Lobby Day, working the polls on November 8th, and leading a '4Q6' social media campaign.

The conference, sponsored by the Magenta Foundation, a Netherlands-based human rights organization that fights anti-Semitism and racism, brought together an international group of participants from civil rights organizations, academia, and student organizations to discuss how to combat an age-old problem that is manifesting itself in new ways. Sessions at the conference included discussions on classical anti-Semitic stereotypes in academia, and anti-Semitism that is often masked in anti-Zionist or anti-Israel rhetoric.
While affirming the importance of academic freedom, participants expressed concern about current attempts to demonize Israel and Jews and about boycotts aimed solely at Israeli professors and students.
At the close of the conference, the Magenta Foundation submitted the following recommendations to Joris Ronse, representative of the Belgian Chair in Office of the OSCE, with the goal of having them adopted and implemented by the body's participating states:
Anti-Semitism has no place in higher education. However, in recent years universities on both sides of the Atlantic have had to grapple with this problem. We've witnessed reports of speakers in academic settings employing classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, demonising Jews, and demonising Israel. We have also seen the growth of petitions to boycott and exclude Israeli professors, students, and universities from academic exchange programs. Divestment campaigns and the rhetoric surrounding them are also problematic.
It is our conviction that academic freedom must be protected. However, we recognize that there is a clear distinction between voicing legitimate criticism of the policies of the State of Israel and anti-Semitism, and as such, anti-Zionism. Painful, deep-rooted anti-Semitism, including distortion and denial of the Holocaust exacerbates the problem.
In this context and in view of the EUMC/ODIHR Working Definition on Anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism is an increasing concern.
We fear that this age-old disease may poison a new generation. There is a dearth of information about the promotion of ant-Semitic hatred through academic sources and in the classroom. Society-at-large must counteract this problem; Jews alone cannot combat anti-Semitism in academia. The OSCE and its participating states, university leadership, student organizations, and civil society have a responsibility to ensure a climate that allows free debate, promotes academic integrity, and rejects bigotry and harassment in all their forms.
Recognizing the recommendations adopted by the OSCE through a series of conferences over the past few years, including the Berlin and Cordoba Declarations, as well as the comprehensive study and guidelines on Holocaust education and remembrance, and in consideration of its newly created Tolerance and non-Discrimination Programme, we encourage the OSCE and its participating states to consider the following recommendations.

Shoppers were out early today at Berkeley Mall, looking to cash in gift cards, make exchanges and search for bargains on the day after Christmas. Many stores planned post-holiday sales.
It's not Black Friday, but the day after Christmas is still a big draw for many shoppers. And not necessarily as an opportunity to return presents that weren't to the recipient's liking. Machelle Bass and her mother, Ruth Outlaw,...

Support Services
Billie Salas, Manager (27 years with M&O, manager 8 years) 10 employees
The Support Services Department is responsible for the administration of Budget Management; Invoice and Payment Processing; Contract Administration; and Utilities Management.
Support Services personnel provide support to all M&O service departments to enable them to complete their work orders/projects in a timely manner utilizing budget availability processing. In serving this purpose they work in close collaboration with the M&O Executive Director and Department Managers as well as personnel in APS' Finance, Procurement, and Accounts Payable offices in overseeing M&O's fluid budget balance, expenses, and daily finance operations. Budget sources consist of Operational funds and Senate Bill 9 funds. The management of Operational monies is straightforward as it pays for the fairly predictable salaries, services, materials, equipment, fleet fuel, and District wide utilities. However, administering SB-9 monies, used to underwrite contractor services and related materials and equipment, requires much more artful and vigilant strategizing. Operational funds are allocated annually with no carry-over options. SB-9 monies, created in the 1990s by voter approval, are replenished after each funding cycle and unspent dollars in the current fiscal year are carried over to the next fiscal year.
Ms. Salas works closely with M&O Managers in earmarking budget funds as specifically as possible for anticipated large projects and unforeseen but certain emergencies, approximately 35% of the budget. This astute planning requires the keen awareness by all M&O Managers of funding restraints in setting priorities to meet the District's most demanding needs within budgetary boundaries. In addition, Ms. Salas reviews all M&O invoices daily and approves for payment (in accordance with procurement rules and procedures) before forwarding to APS' Procurement and/or Accounts Payable Departments for final processing. In support of the education process, Support Services strives to process vendor invoices promptly as a gridlock in the APS payment system impedes work projects at schools. Frankly stated, unpaid vendors cease serving the District which is unacceptable as it is not in step with M&O's non-stop service to the schools and students.
As the following figures exemplify, the Department was challenged by a major budget cut in 2011 and since then by limited budgets just holding steady in the most recent fiscal years. The battle isn't helped by rising maintenance and utility costs coupled with the opening of new schools and expansion of existing campuses.
M&O Budget HIstory 2007-2014
(Total M&O Budget Allocation Includes "Carry Over" SB-9 Monies from Previous Fiscal Years)
Increased number of "drawdown" purchase orders (PO) by 31.9%
A drawdown PO formally earmarks a specified dollar amount to pay for recurring or expected expenses to specified vendors as needed during the fiscal year. Paying invoices against the single PO rather than issuing separate purchase orders for transaction payments, reduces the number of requisitions waiting for approval, purchase processing steps, and time. The Department has been on a quest to move to the simpler drawdown PO practice for some time, making progress with every year. Support Services achieved the most success in the 2013-14 fiscal year — 190 PO encumbrances were created, 31.9% more than the previous year's 144. Payments to vendors are fast tracked and closing financials at the end of the fiscal year is streamlined. The Capital Fiscal Department is credited for their help and cooperation with the M&O budget.
Cross training of personnel successfully completed
Last year's Report addressed the imminent challenge of losing three tenured employees due to retirements. In anticipation of this combined loss of skill and knowledge, the Manager initiated a cross training program Department wide. While additional in-depth cross training is still in progress, all staff members have learned every transaction process and duty that the Department is responsible for. Two positions were vacant for several months and were covered by the newly cross trained staff members; a backlog of work did not ensue due to the reduced number of employees! And as personnel learned a new process, they became permanently reassigned to the task broadening the scope of responsibilities for all staff.
Three highly qualified staff members joined Department
In replacing the vacancies left by retirees, Support Services was able to hire proficient individuals who complemented the skills set of existing staff. The new hires began their new roles near seamlessly.
New Utilities Management Technical Assistant is competent and zealous to learn
One of the three new hires mentioned above is the Utilities Technician charged with tracking and paying the utility expenses for the entire District. It sounds straightforward enough, but staying abreast of the hundreds of utility invoices generated by 140 plus metro area schools and urban school sites, numerous administrative complexes, warehouses, Central Kitchen, and three sports stadiums is no simple task. The utility vendors for electric, natural gas, water/sewer (utility and wells), refuse, and recycling are many and their invoicing systems can be complex with many variables affecting each invoice's total. Appreciatively, the new Utilities Technician brought valuable research knowledge and other skills from previous experience within APS and was able to get up to speed in the utilities function quickly as well as learn the Manager's tasks in serving as back-up when needed. She has proven to be an invaluable asset to the Department in both areas.
Smooth beginning of six year funding cycle
While Support Services personnel certainly perform many financial closures in preparation for commencing a new funding cycle without snags and complications, all M&O financial activity is not within their control. The beginning of a fiscal year or funding cycle will expectedly require getting over some hurdles and stumbling blocks. The start of the six year funding cycle that began on July 1, 2013, however, went without a hitch thanks to careful planning and executing of financial matters within the Department and interconnected APS Capital Finance and Accounting Divisions.
Status of 2013-14 Fiscal Year Goals
- Meet with M&O Managers in securing their encumbered requests for the 2013-14 fiscal year before July 1. Managers will be required to be very specific in the amount of each vendor's purchase order (within each Department's budget) in meeting their needs. Completed
- Hire and train a new Utilities Technician and fill two other vacancies due to retirements. Completed
- Cross train personnel to become adept in all Department functions. Currently only one staff member knows the utilities management function and newer employees need to be knowledgeable and thoroughly trained regarding all APS/M&O policies and procedures. Support Services will operate more smoothly and effectively, thereby serving all of M&O better. Completed
- Due to the Department running out of file space, staff will began scanning all invoices and store them electronically once they are paid and closed as well as scan old invoices stored in filling cabinets. Because APS Accounts Payable recently faced and completed the laborious task, M&O's Support Services can now easily and quickly find any vendor payment information online (password assessable). While the project can't be completed in fiscal year 2013-14, it will commence. Planning has begun. See 2014-15 Goals.
2014-15 Fiscal Year Goals
- The scanning of all invoices for electronic storage (note above goal) will be well worth the time intensive
effort when completed, but as the task is daunting, it will be approached methodically beginning with a
pilot program in one area of the Department. This will allow the Manager to get a better understanding of
what will be involved and plan accordingly in organized stages. Additionally, acquiring at least one more
scanner will be necessary.
- Create drawdown POs for utility expenses.

Prince's Bay resident Albert Young is sick of cleaning up other peoples' messes, especially when they're created by people who don't live nearby, the man said.
"Some dirtbag actually threw six bags of garbage in 5-foot-high weeds," he said, adding some furniture was among the discards.
Young, who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, previously cleaned the location across from his house. He'd pick up fallen branches and litter around sewer drains near his house, but stopped because of his illness, he explained a week ago.
He described the section as a "great spot to dump" because of the limited light at night and the tall weeds.
The Advance visited the location on Thursday and spotted a pair of black garbage bags among the weeds on Waterbury, near Bay View, just feet from a train trestle that Young said often contains trash.
Pieces of broken cement and shattered glass were also scattered among the grasses.
"Nobody seems to care," he said, adding that it's a challenge to get city agencies to clean the area.
"It's just not fair. Our taxes keep going higher and we're getting less and less service," the man said.
The city's 311 interactive map showed no requests for help at the location.
Young claims to have spotted two syringes resting on a retaining wall beneath the train trestle two months ago. He also reported that rodents are in the area.
"I have a beautiful home. I paid a lot for it, and I don't want to come home and see this," he said.
Meanwhile, about a block away, trash accumulates near the Prince's Bay train station.
Aiming to reduce unsightly garbage, Janine Materna, president of the Pleasant Plains, Prince's Bay, Richmond Valley Civic Association, is hoping to lobby for more trash cans on Seguine Avenue.
But the problem is widespread. Some junk has recently appeared near Johanna Lane, which borders the Lemon Creek tidal wetlands area.
Ms. Materna is hoping to conduct a fall neighborhood clean-up event.
really becoming a bigger issue," said Ms. Materna. "I really think it's
from the high volume of traffic of people going back and forth. People
need to be aware of cleaning up after themselves."

The easy headline is, "Oprah Denies Being Gay," but that's not what was so mesmerizing about Barbara Walters' video tease of tomorrow night's interview with Oprah Winfrey. It was Winfrey's sincere, heartfelt description of her relationship with close friend Gayle King. "She is … the mother I never had. She is … the sister everybody would want," said Winfrey. "She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person. I don't know a better person."
<embed src="http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.5079093" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" AllowScriptAccess="sameDomain" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" flashvars=" width="425" height="350" />
Yes, Winfrey goes on to dismiss the old rumor that she and King are lovers, but I'm still swooning over her eloquent PDA. Tears, verklempt pauses, the whole heart-to-heart caboodle. Jeez, Oprah even gives away compliments better than anyone else!

Two Santa Clarita Valley basketball teams will have a chance to play for a state championship.
Santa Clarita Christian School and Trinity Classical Academy were both placed in the CIF State Boys Division V Basketball Championship bracket on Sunday.
SCCS, coming off a loss in Saturday's CIF-Southern Section Division VA championship game, earned a No. 6 seed and a home game on Wednesday in the first round against No. 11 seed Kern Valley of the CIF-Central Section.
In the same bracket, Trinity is a No. 8 seed which will host the No. 9 seed Capistrano Valley Christian, also of the Southern Section, on Wednesday.
On Saturday, Trinity won the CIF-SS Division VI championship over Desert Chapel.
This is the second straight appearance in the state Division V bracket for Trinity, which lost in the second round a year ago.
For SCCS, Wednesday's game will be a program-first in a state tournament game.
If either Trinity or SCCS makes it to the Southern California Regional final on March 22, the game will take place at Colony High School in Ontario.
The winner of that game faces the Northern California champion on March 28 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento.
A total of six state tournament brackets in each gender which were announced on Sunday, including an Open Division bracket along with Divisions I through V.
One notable team left out of the state tournament picture is the Canyon High boys team. Despite advancing to the CIF-Southern Section Division IIAA semifinals this season, Canyon did not appear in the state Division II bracket.
Note: Due to CIF requirements for venue size, SCCS may not be able to use its on-campus gym to host Wednesday's regional. The time and location of both the Trinity and SCCS games will be determined at a later time.

How to Introduce a Female Version of an Established Superhero

Question on panel 3: Is She-Rocket Hat a disciple of Karate, the side-kick of Batfink? I remember him yelling "Hiya!" when attacking. The jazz hands, not so much......
Wait a minute, female rocket hat is talking! This feels...unfamiliar...
Her fingers store extra rocket hats to fire from the tips.
She... she talks!? Oh right, It's Allison so of course she talks.
Why does the "female" Rocket Hat have a moustache?
Is it based on an existing character? 'cuz I'm not recognizing him/her.
I just made the same face as Allison. Thank you!!
I feel a deep disturbance in the force. Then again, I feel that deep disturbance whenever I encounter The Thing That Must Not Be, i.e., Allison.*
*I'm sorry, I meant to say, "ALLISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So, she's destroying one out of every 10 of the Moon Emperor's troops?
I would have gone with "Rocket Skirt," but that's just me. Also, I would have given her a rocket skirt.
Anyway, I guess if you're gonna make her gimmick be that she talks, Missy's Loud Friend is a good choice for her actor.
This feels very wrong in all orders of magnitude. A rocket hat that is female, talking, and looks excited
Scott delivers again with an unpredictable move
If the goal is to be respectful without being clumsily sensitive, how about "Rocket Hat 2"?
Jason - she's Canadian - she SHOUTS (it's a long way)
I read this on my mobile, so I didn't see panel 3 till I scrolled down. I was envisaging Missy as Rocket Hat a-la-femme, but I suppose she already has a superhero alter ego as the Judger.
LOL! Win in 4! "I am a gentlemaneven when I'm unscious"! Brilliant!
Quick question, why is She-Rocket Hat not tied up? Rocket Hat is tied up when he is front of The Moon Emperor.
I applaud the Moon Emperor. Any old fool can be a gentleman while conscious, but it takes true class to do so while unconscious.
Clearly his sheer classiness is how he achieved his elevated status in the first place, despite multiple defeats.
Why not simply "Other Rocket Hat"?
Although, it's a Luigi-like identity crisis Rick, if anyone, would be expected of.
I submit that "Rocket Lass" would have been a more elegant name, keeping the cadence of the original classic.
Obviously, this is a momentous occasion and a turning point in the annals of comic history. I predict the next Comic Con will be awash in excitement over the meaning of this truly defining event. Who could have foreseen such a astounding twist of story line evolution with such far flung future implications? I did not see this one coming.
One can only hope for a future that includes an alliance between She Rocket Hat and the Knifeketeer. This is a natural so I wouldn't expect it to happen - not twisty enough for the BI universe. For myself, this arises out of my desire to see Rick and Allison get together just to see two people put the fun back in dysfunctional.
Oh She-hat! Another superheroine....
GAH! Ronald D. Moore has taken over Basic Instructions!
For some reason, it seems to me that the female equivalent of Rocket Hat ought to be something less, uh, phallic, but I can't think of what a good alternative would be...
jake: So, she's destroying one out of every 10 of the Moon Emperor's troops?
Isn't that nice.
They're speaking English, not Latin. In English, "decimate" means to destroy a large portion of something, and it's meant that for a long time.
I would have to go with "Ms-Rocket-Hat" because after all, wasn't she the better Pac Man version?
Thanks for posting a more lighthearted one, Scott. Just what the doctor ordered.
Yay! Super hero version of Allison!
I believe the appropriate name for the Female Ms. She-Rocket Hat is "Rockette Hat".
This feels wrong - because she is talking!
Well, another great instruction. Very interesting.
No offense intended but in the 3rd panel the womans mouth is uh, hard to make out. It jsut doesn't look like a mouth >.>
Missi(le) Hat
My day just got awesome....
My vote is for Ms. Rocket Hat.... :)
Of course we've all wanted to see Rocket Hat actually beating the bejeezus out of the Emperor, rather than just seeing the aftermath. But it would be even more enjoyable to see the Rockette (tip of the hat to sumocat) do it. She would just be so happy and chirpy while wreaking havoc.
I take it this was inspired by the soon-to-be-introduced first human female Green Lantern?
A rocket hat that is
This feels very wrong. I can feel Moon Emperor's feelings
My vote is for Rocket Lass, as suggested above.
Rockette Hat
Given what I know and can surmise of Scott and Rick, I thought their female superhero would be more in the "shape" of Supergirl, Power Woman, Wonder Woman, or Vampira.
Or, perhaps they just don't share drawings of those.
I love the Moon Emperor's knees in panel 3.
Thanks for making Monday a lot better
Rocket Hat Girl deploys Armament of Annoyance!
Epic!!! I didn't even have to read the comic before almost laughing myself off my chair. Just seeing panel 3 was enough! The contrast between Rocket Hat and his not nearly as quiet female counterpart is classic. Kudos to you Meyer. Great introduction!

Update (3/14) - Added interview with cinematic team leader, Choi Hyung-Geun.
Update (2/9) - Added interview with lead concept artist, Lee Wang-Soo.
Developer Interview Relay Has Begun
On January 19th, we posted an interview with Blade & Soul's lead programmer, Hong Suk-Geun. Many of us found out that a lot of the important NPCs in the game are named after real people in the Blade & Soul development team. When we first heard the back-story, we were amazed by the witty yet sentimental feel of it. I'm sure many of you thought the lead programmer would look similar to the master in his small form, but after seeing Hong Suk-Geun's image and smiling eyes, he looked similar to both the hulking transformed version and the regular version.
The Developer Interview Relay will cover various topics from never-before-seen amusing episodes in Blade & Soul to stories of hardship and difficulties that arose in the conceptual and development processes. I really hope these refreshing interviews will quench the thirst that many of you have been suffering from over the past few months due to the lack of news and updates.
So, when does this interview relay begin? The subsequent interviews containing interesting stories of Blade & Soul will arrive in early February. Below is a schedule of the coming interviews. We're also going to be answering a lot of the Korean communities questions in between the second and third interview articles.
|Developer Interview Relay Order
|Developer (Position)
|Hong Suk-Geun (Lead Programmer)
|Get to Know the Developer
|Lee Wang-Soo (Lead Concept Artist)
|Intro to Character Creation
|Choi Hyung-Geun (Cinematic Team Leader)
|Intro to Cinematic Creation
|Song Hoh Gun (Sound Team Leader)
|Intro to Sound Setup
|Joh Young Hwan (Lead Artist)
|Intro to Scenery Creation
Yeon, Blade & Soul's Korean community manager, proceeds to leave instructions for the Korean community on how to submit questions for the development team. Since we're not part of the Korean community it would be rather difficult for us to submit our questions. However, ask anyway! Go ahead and (neatly) leave your questions in a reply to this article. Our translating team may pick a few questions, translate them and submit them to the official Blade & Soul Korean site for us, if they are up to the task of course.

A group of young men stops to watch as a black plastic crate is wheeled out of a classroom at the DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Wash. "Mario's in there," Digipen's chief operating officer Jason Chu whispers reverently.
Mario worship may seem odd, but at DigiPen, said to be the first U.S. college that offers a bachelor's degree specifically in video game programming, the hero of the classic Nintendo game—whose costume had been lent for a graduation ceremony—is understandably an idol. DigiPen, the brainchild of 42-year-old architect and engineer Claude Comair, is fun and games, to be sure. But it's no day at the arcade. The 300 students—a mix of blue-haired guys in skateboarder shorts and preppies in chinos—often put in 12-hour school days six days a week, immersing themselves in solid analytic geometry and algorithm analysis as well as optics and aerodynamics. "This isn't for everyone," says Comair. "But for those who like it, we can't give them enough."
Nor, it seems, can the students' prospective employers. Places like Nintendo and Electronic Arts offer DigiPen grads up to $60,000 to start. Says Eric Smith, 31, valedictorian of the class of 2000: "It almost feels like a scam to get paid so well to do what I love."
Comair, who left his native Lebanon at age 18, started DigiPen in 1988 in Vancouver as an engineering-simulation firm. In '98 he moved his operation, which had been reprogrammed for video games, to Washington. Smith, for one, is happy he did. His stint at DigiPen has made him a hero to his wife Connie's third-grade class in nearby Bellevue. "The boys, especially, go nuts when I'm there," says Smith. "I tell them if they want to do what I do, they have to study hard. In addition to being the truth, it always wins me points with my wife."

ViewPoint Financial and LegacyTexas need more time to close merger; extend agreement
ViewPoint Financial Group and LegacyTexas Group said today that they need more time to secure regulatory approvals and other closing conditions to complete their merger.
As a result, the two Plano-based banks have agreed to amend and extend the agreement to Dec. 31. This is the second time the two companies have extended the merger agreement.
In November, ViewPoint agreed to acquire LegacyTexas Group in a $300 million stock and cash deal. The deal is expected to create one of the largest independent banks in the state with 51 branches and combined assets of over $5 billion.
The deal has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies as well as LegacyTexas shareholders.
"We are working very hard to complete the merger, and are totally committed to creating, together, the premier Dallas-Fort Worth commercial banking franchise," ViewPoint President and CEO Kevin Hanigan said in a statement. "Our integration efforts are progressing very well, and we are pleased with the continued strong 2014 performance of both LegacyTexas and ViewPoint."

USA Wrestling partners with LiveSportsVideo com the first Amateur Wrestling Network at your computeFinally… Watch Amateur Wrestling, Anytime You Want To
For the past 50 years, wrestling fans across the country often stayed up through the night (sometimes even 3 a.m.) to catch a glimpse of wrestling on television or mastered the art of recording wrestling to a VCR tape. The chance to view it "at all" is testament to technology.
Long before television, some of the greatest matches, like Abraham Lincoln vs. Jack Armstrong or competitive battles in Roman or Greek Coliseums were recorded only in the memories of spectators.
Is there a better alternative to television, with its haphazard and spotty coverage of amateur wrestling? LiveSportsVideo.com believes it has come up with a solution; the first 24-hour Wrestling Network that brings you web casts when you want to watch them.
Many of us stay connected to the wrestling world by utilizing our repertoire of forums, we give you the new excitement of LiveSportsVideo.com. We will not disappoint you with content, because we promise to bring you coverage at all levels of wrestling and quality tournaments.
An exciting way to provide the best wrestling programming is the innovative partnership between Live Sports Video.com and USA Wrestling. This effort is proof that wrestling is leading the way in multi-media technology.
"USA Wrestling reaches the greatest wrestling fans and possesses competitive wrestling venues," says Bob and Jake Feldmeier, the founders of LiveSportsVideo.com and past Princeton wrestlers. "Live Sports Video is the revolutionary link in bringing this wrestling footage to all fans and promoting the sport we all deserve to watch."
While commercial TV has often ignored our sport, we should feel privileged that amateur wrestling has not been exploited by TV advertising. Can you imagine the last wrestling period extending over 30 minutes for TV timeouts? Gone are the days of staying up late for spotty coverage and studying your VCR manuals, because livesportsvideo.com conveniently delivers wrestling videos over the Internet.
LiveSportsVideo.com is the sound answer for amateur wrestling because we web cast the venue as if you were there recording it with your own eyes. You are not limited to where you live because the Internet is everywhere in the world. Programming and timing restrictions are eliminated because Live Sports Video has a growing library of over 150 duals and events all available when it is convenient for you. As a special bonus, this year we will bring you more excitement with 10 live web casts!
We can't bring you to the ancient Roman or Greek Coliseums, but we can bring amateur wrestling to you through www.livesportsvideo.com. It promises all the coverage you want-and all the sleep you need… It is better than TV.

10 Tips for Keeping a Tiny Craft Space TidyJacinda
Glitter is great for adding a little pizazz to any sort of project, but there's one big problem with it it gets everywhere! Really though, it's the same with most craft supplies. Loose threads somehow wind up on my dinner plates, fabric scraps get attached to my clothes, and my kittens toss balls of yarn down the stairs. Although I have a craft space, my crafting has a tendency to migrate around the house in a matter of minutes, and that's not even including the kids' crafts. Sound familiar?
No matter what the size of your craft space is, keeping it neat and tidy can be a challenge. Here are 10 tips that have come in handy for me to help keep a cozy craft space organized and inspiring.
1. Use Craft Supplies as Decor
The nice thing about crafting supplies is that they are usually very pretty and can double as decor. Arrange jars of buttons and spools of thread in thoughtful displays rather than stashing them in bins. Have fun with the colors of ribbon, and use spools of them to brighten up a wall.
2. Clean As You Go
This is one rule that many are guilty of ignoring (especially myself!). My craft time is valuable, so clean-up isn't always the priority. But if you think about the time spent looking for misplaced supplies, it surely outweighs the time spent tidying up. As a bonus, the space would look lovely and inviting all the time.
3. Hide it Away
Make a curtain that can cover up your craft space when you are not using it. Hiding the mess can make things so much cleaner. My crafting partner-in-crime, Jaime, used pleated drapes to section off her craft space.
4. Hang Jars for Extra Storage
Secure jar tops to the bottom of cabinets, by either nailing or gluing them. Fill the jars with paper clips, thread , confetti or anything else. Once filled, add the jars to the tops and you have so much more storage space.
5. Save by Making Upcycled Organizers
A great way to keep things tidy is to be organized. Instead of spending money on overpriced desk organizers, try making these upcycled ones out of cans and tins. Not only will your craft space be decluttered, but it will be adorable too.
6. Label Everything
Label, label, label. Labels can seriously make your life so much easier. I've had the kids help me make labels to use, and I've done everything from writing descriptive words to taking polaroids of what is inside. Don't waste your precious craft time searching for things — create labels for everything.
7. Give Everything a Home
This tip goes along with label-making — make sure to have a home for all of your crafting tools, papers, unfinished projects, and anything else you can think of. Plastic shoe bins can work great for this kind of thing. Items can very easily start to pile up on your desk, making it look cluttered.
8. Furniture Can Have Form and Function
Space is usually limited in craft rooms, so use furniture to your benefit. Use a wooden wine cabinet to store yarn. Flip a bookshelf on its side and use it as a giant cutting board and fabric storage space.
9. Take Advantage of All Your Space
Sometimes great storage is right in front of our eyes, and we don't even know it. Work with the space you have, even if that means using all your wall space up to the ceiling. Put less used items on the higher shelves and most used on the bottom. If you have a small amount of closet space for crafts, use hangers for storage by hanging fabrics and patterns.
10. Be Inspired
Everyone works better with a little extra inspiration. When things are tidy and neat, I find that I do my best work and feel really great. Keep a chalkboard with a great quote that motivates you and makes keeping tidy a little easier.

How has complex social behavior evolved?
What are the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying specific behavioral patterns?
Is there a common neural and molecular tool kit that governs social behavior across species?
A. burtoni border conflict
A. nigrofasciata pair with fry

Investigating microorganisms!
Colocalization of AVT (red) and IT (green) in the POA with a DAPI counter-stain (blue)
A. burtoni subordinate male
A. burtoni mouthbrooding female
Lake Tanganyika
Research in our laboratory seeks to answer these questions by utilizing a broad range of approaches to gain insight into the basic mechanisms underlying social and socially regulated behavior in a range of model systems, but most prominently in cichlid fishes. Our work has established an experimental and conceptual framework for understanding the molecular and neural basis of social behavior – and its evolution – in a naturalistic and organismal context.
All animals continuously integrate their internal physiological state with environmental events and subsequently choose one action over another to increase their chances of survival and reproduction. These decisions are about obtaining and defending resources (such as food, shelter or mates) or evading danger (such as predator avoidance), and they often take place in a social context, such as dominance hierarchies, mate choice, and/or offspring care. Even though the survival value and evolution of behavioral decisions have been examined in great detail by behavioral ecologists, we are just now beginning to understand the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying these decision-making processes. As biologists have moved beyond the ultimately fruitless debates about the relative contributions of nature and nurture, we have come to understand that behavior – like all phenotypes – is the result of interactions between genetic, environmental, and developmental/epigenetic processes. At the same time, comparative studies have illuminated the behavioral, neural, and molecular underpinnings of behavior, suggesting that – similar to developmental and genetic systems – at least some of the mechanisms regulating behavior across multiple levels of biological organization are conserved in a wide range of species.

Some people say they're too heavy, but I carry an MK40 in my pocket a lot of the time that I'm out of the house. You do need a belt, can't just throw it in a sweatpants pocket and go, but the weight isn't all that bad.
You can expect the empty weight to be a hair more than a Glock 19.
November 27, 2008, 11:26 PM
Had one for about 5 years, liked it, never tried to pocket carry it. My perception was it was heavy for its small size. I have switched to the Kahr P9 for 2 reasons. My thinking on this class of gun is it will be carried a lot and shot a little, 300 to 1,000 rounds a year, so poly would give me 10 to 30 years. The reduced weight also eliminates an excuse not to take it with.
Before I ramble too much let me give my opinion on your questions. Small enough? Yes. Light enough. Maybe, only you can answer that, after youve tried it and I would recommend you try it.
One more unsolicited opinion, it shot very well, accurate and manageable.

Salvador Dalí and the Diana Mini White2011-07-15 2 8 Share Tweet
I think a photographic memory is something people are born with. Hopefully, it's something they die with too. When you combine a photographic memory with a degree in Art History, some quirky things begin to happen.
Take this little example here.
Recently, Lomography launched the Diana Mini Flash Package White. Somehow, through random photographic association and a touch of creative imagination, my brain put one and one together and got…well two!
You're probably wondering what the heck I'm on about so here goes:
In my head, the Diana Mini Flash Package White looks a lot like Salvador Dali's White Lobster telephone:
It's a little odd I know, but so was Dalí, so I thought why not share it with all the other quirky Lomographers out there?
According to Wikipedia, there are six all-white versions of Dalí's all white lobster telephone. Three are on public display at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, at the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, and at the Centro Cultural de Belém in Portugal.
The Tate, which owns one of the five copies of the more well known black telephone version of the artifact captions it with this text:
"In the early 1930s, Dalí promoted the idea of the Surrealist object, of which this is a classic example. The Surrealists valued the mysterious and provocative effect of such unexpected conjunctions. Dalí, in particular, believed that his objects could reveal the secret desires of the unconscious. Lobsters and telephones had strong sexual connotations for him, and he drew a close analogy between food and sex. He made Lobster Telephone for Edward James, the British collector who was the most active patron of Surrealist artists in the 1930s."
So what do you think? Is it completely random, or do you see it too?

I have played the piano for the majority of my life, studied in college, and was in a panic after I graduated as I no longer had access to a piano. However, finding the 625 was more than an answer to my panicked mind. I have been able to continue playing/learning classical pieces. From start to finish I learned Claire de Lune, and the seamless transition to playing on an acoustic only demonstrated further for me that the designers of this instrument did their homework putting together the weighted keys. Great instrument for the price and quality.
Upon forming my sixties band I stopped at a music store to find a keyboard that would play various sounds. At the time, I was looking for something that my keyboard player could play horn sounds with so we could cover 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash. So I was pleased by the trumpet sounds of the YPG-625. The keyboard does have an authentic Grand Piano sound and feels like a real accoustic piano. Things have been pretty good with this keyboard until I decided to use it to trigger sounds in my sampler. The band does 'Leader of the Pack' with all the motorcycle sounds, screeching tires, crashes, etc provided with a sampler. (The sampler like almost every modern electronic instrument in the world has a midi connection) I wanted the keyboard player to be able to trigger these sounds via midi. EVERY keyboard, these days, has a midi connection, right? When I got the keyboard I didn't even consider looking for the connection because even the cheapest of the cheapies has a midi connection nowadays. Upon learning that the YPG-625 has no midi connection I called tech support and asked how to connect a midi device. I had assumed the USB port on the back could somehow be used. "You can't", said the tech. He appologized and said these decisions are made by Yamaha in Japan. I love the Hammond XK3c I just bought for the B3 sounds. That keyboard can trigger the midi ... and play sounds from any other instrument with a midi connection. I'll be upgrading to a synth so I can get more authentic sounds as we are using the keyboards professionally. However, I was going to wait a while before that upgrade. Now it appears I'll have to upgrade sooner rather than later. I'm so disappointed by this that I doubt the new synth will be a Yamaha. Who knows what important component would be left out of the next keyboard I'd get from them?It's a good sounding instrument for the money. But, C'mon, no midi connection?
To update my review of August 5th, I have now purchased the YPG 625. I could not be happier. The one thing that I will do is to install trimmed and stained wooden "feet" under the stand to raise the piano to the level I am used to. That of course is no reflection on the instrument, but a matter of personal taste. Otherwise my previous review stands, and I am so pleased to have stepped up to this wonderful keyboard. I'll add that I did compare the 625 with the 635. The 635, has a couple of enhancements, i.e., a DSP,(digital sound processor) also, the stand is made to accept the accessory pedal assembly, giving you three pedals like a true piano. The 635 is 64 note polyphonic, opposed to the 625 at 32. But...for two hours, note for note, with exactly the same voices and settings like reverb and chorus, I could not tell a significant difference. The 625 is discontinued, being replaced by the 635. With that said you can buy the 625 for considerably less..while they last. Again, I hope this helps you in your decision.
Currently, I own the Yamaha DGX 203 keyboard. I have been composing and playing piano and keyboards for perhaps 25 years. Been using the DGX 203 for about three years. I recently sat down and played the YPG 625 88 key Portable Grand. While I struggle with appropriate words, I can only say, I was amazed, and shocked. The feel of the key's, much more like a real piano, but not nearly as heavy, were a pure joy to play. The sound from the YPG 625 brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful. I sat for an hour, and ran through my repertoire, amazed. The lesser keyboards are fine, They serve their purpose, they can inspire. They can bring beginners into music. But, in my opinion for those who have been playing, and mastered the basics, the sound from the 625 can inspire you to the next level. I'm saving up for mine. My hope for this review is that if you share my struggle with the increased cost of finer instruments,that after my experience with the 625, and what it can give you in return, I feel it is worth every penny. Hope this helps you.
i have had this keyboard for about a half a year and it hasn't let me down! its features are nice, there are buttons and settings on there that I haven't yet explored. It is nice for composers and song writers because you are able to record your own songs. it is more high quality than any other home keyboard I have played. The downsides of this is that when recording, you can't control the volume on the idividual voices, and that, like usual, it doesn't have the exact feel that you get out of a good piano. Another thing that the g sharp key above middle c has begun to make a clicking noise every time I press it, but I cannot blame that on poor manufacturing because my nephews pound on it all the time, I am actualy suprised that that is the only thing that has broken so far with them pounding on it. So altogether, I would say this is a great keyboard for a keyboard to replace a piano, a band, a beginner, or an intermediate. It is great for the price!
Piano sound is excellent, piano FEEL is near-perfect. These are the best weighted keys I've ever felt in a portable.The drum machine patterns are fantastic - I've used it with live performance. When you change styles or tempos mid-song, it transitions smoothly, on the beat!Most of the synth voices are too electronic to be useful, but the saxophone patches are the best I've ever heard. The organs, pads, strings, brass, and basses are okay, but the pianos & drums are just great.
I've been playing piano for 12 years and this feels and sounds just like an acoustic piano. The sound quality is great, the response is wonderful and there's so many different sounds, I still haven't found them all. Overall, a must-have for either beginners or experienced players who want great sound and an easily portable keyboard.
I purchased the Yamaha ypg 625 in early 2007. Like so many others I am trying to learn piano at a "later age" (60). I practice 2-3 hours at least 5 days a week. If you connect this instrument to an outside amplifier and good speakers, you will be amazed. It will inspire you to play, play and play. No, it's not as good as more expensive keyboards on the market but for beginners it inspires. Friends who have decades of experience love playing it. If I only played its piano samples it would be worth much more than it's cost. If your life situation is similar to mine this is the piano to buy. I read all reviews and tested many instruments in this price point before buying. This is the one.
This keyboard is just like playing on a piano. You will not be disappointed when you purchase this keyboard. I have not mastered all of the features. There are so many. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy
I got this piano 2 years ago as a gift. I feel it is a great buy for the price compared to other pianos. My only problem was the speakers. It isn't very loud and it doesn't have a specific amp hookup. But I rigged it up to an amp and it still sounds great.

Jennifer Lopez (Work)
The beauteous Jennifer Lopez broke into showbiz as a dancer on TV's In Living Color and established herself as an actress in Selena and Out of Sight. Now the Bronx-born Puerto Rican sex symbol has added pop singer to her already impressive résumé. With a little help from hit-maker friends like producer Emilio Estefan Jr. and salsa singer Marc Anthony, On the 6 (the title refers to a New York City subway line) offers a seamless blend of hip hop, pop, soul, dance and Latin genres. Though her voice is a bit thin, Lopez has definite flair and musicality. Her talent, combined with the CD's taut, energetic sound, makes On the 6 a ride worth taking.
Bottom Line: She sounds as good as she looks
Picks and Pans Review: On the 6

Some call it Puppy Chow, others call it Muddy Buddies, but it's all the same deliciousness! I grew up calling it Puppy Chow and was shocked to see that Chex Mix actually sells it in stores now! While the store brand is more convenient, the taste can't compare to homemade. I recently made this for my husband's summer mission trip debrief for a group of teenagers. As the night ended they began asking if they could take some home with them! I was happy to give it all away, as that meant less of this incredibly addicting dessert would be lying around our home… I also knew my husband and… I watched my husband secretly store some away for us!
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of margarine
- 7 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
- Powdered Sugar
1. Melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and margarine together.
2. Pour Rice Chex into a double layered brown paper bag. Next, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Fold the top of the bag down and shake/stir until all the cereal is coated. Allow to cool for 3 minutes.
3. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cereal and shake well. Add more if needed and re-shake until all the cereal is coated in white.

Figure 1.
Coronal computed tomographic scan of the abdomen/pelvis.
Figure 2.
Findings after surgical resection.
A 64-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 1-day temperature of 38.9°C (102°F). The patient had some accompanying cough, nausea, and arthralgias but denied having dyspnea, emesis, and chest or abdominal pain. She had a complicated medical history that was significant for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic diarrhea, myelodysplastic syndrome treated with chemotherapy, and Behçet syndrome treated with prednisone acetate (6 mg daily). Her surgical history was significant for a previous right-sided hemicolectomy due to recurrent right-sided diverticulitis. On examination, she was alert and awake with appropriate mental status. Her vital signs were as follows: blood pressure of 150/59 mm Hg, heart rate of 127 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute, temperature of 38.5°C (101.3°F) (oral), and an oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry of 99% in room air. The physical examination was unremarkable. Significant laboratory data included a white blood cell count of 2700/μL (reference range, 4800-10 800/μL; to convert to ×109 per liter, multiply by 0.001), a lactic acid level of 19.8 mg/dL (to convert to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.111), and a platelet count of 72×103/μL (to convert to ×109 per liter, multiply by 1.0). Urinalysis showed trace blood, positive nitrite, +1 leukocyte esterase, and a white blood cell count of 2000/μL to 5000/μL. A urine culture came back positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae, and a blood culture came back positive for Enterobacter sakazakii (now known as Cronobacter sakazakii). There was concern about the source of the bacteremia, so an infectious disease consult was ordered, and a computed tomographic scan of the abdomen/pelvis with contrast was performed. Figure 1 shows a coronal, reformatted image of the scan. The patient was scheduled for surgery, and the findings are shown in Figure 2.

East Stroudsburg pulls away in 2nd half to down Mercyhurst men
East Stroudsburg 60, Mercyhurst 54: At East Stroudsburg, the 12th-ranked Warriors wiped out a halftime deficit with a 13-0 lead to start the second half and then went on to defeat the Lakers in a PSAC crossover game.
Whis Grant had a game-high 19 points for East Stroudsburg (11-0), which overcame season lows in points scored and shooting percentage (28.3).
The Lakers (5-5) fell behind early before going on a 14-3 run to earn a 28-24 halftime lead. But the Warriors (11-0) were too much in the second half, as Rasheed Moore scored 11 points and Zacariah Runkle pulled down 10 rebounds.
Jean Onama led Mercyhurst with 15 points, while Paul Bilbo added 11 points and nine rebounds.

|Point of the Week
Tai Yang helps keep eyes flush and helps prevent itching and irritation
This point, known to acupuncturists as Tai Yang, is located near the outer edge of the eyes. It is excellent for allergic reactions, red eyes and itchiness. In acupuncture theory, redness of the eyes and itchy sensations arise from a stagnation of heat and dampness and very commonly affect the eyes or nose. When we experience an allergic reaction to a pollen or irritant (such as dust in the air, or a chemical pollutant sprayed from crop dusters for agricultural weed-killing, for example) the body is unable to properly filter and flush out the offending particle. Increasing circulation and fluids help the eyes to flush out the irritant, and this point also reduces the body's inflammatory response. This point "vents" heat from the ocular area and reduces redness. It can also be used preventively upon awakening each morning, to avoid developing the symptoms (great for allergy season).
Note: Remember, these vignettes are not medical advice.
Step one: Locate the point Tai Yang at the outer corner of your eye socket. The correct point will likely feel a little tender when using a firm touch.
Step two: Using your thumb or index finger, press and hold the pressure for 10 seconds. Repeat several times per hour, or until symptoms lessen.

Gilpin Hotel and Lake House
On the walls of the nearby, family-run Gilpin Hotel - the best in the Lakes - the long-resident owners have hung a photo above a bureau of their great-grandfather walking enthusiastically with King George V, applauded by a line of pretty nurses trained to tend invalids from the Lancaster mills. Their high, hard little nurses hats and white capes flutter in a spilling breeze, their skin supercharged. Not that everyone found the enlivening air here agreeable. When Wilkie Collins visited the area in 1857, he chomped miserably on his breakfast and missed London, with its 'nice short walks in level public gardens'. I don't want to walk - I want to swim.

Tim Duncan would like to remind you he still exists
Now in his 14th season at the age of 35, the nights of brilliance come fewer and further in between for San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan. Last night's classic 25-point, seven-rebound performance was almost over before it started.
On the strength of a quick flurry of three-pointers and an 11-point outburst from Kevin Martin in the first quarter, the Houston Rockets had the Spurs reeling early once again. With a little more than five minutes remaining in the quarter, and an 11-point deficit that would eventually swell to 19, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich sent Tiago Splitter in for Tim Duncan.
Given the Spurs recent history, and Popovich's penchant for pulling the plug early in similar games, it could have just as easily been the last time Duncan saw the court this night. Perhaps sensing this, or the upcoming mandatory vacation Popovich would like to place on Duncan during these four-games-in-five-nights stretches, Duncan left the court angrily—allowing for a rare moment of emotion to contort his face beyond his usual making his eyes bigger routine.
It has, in many ways, been a frustrating season for Duncan, as his two early season technical fouls can attest to. It has been one steeped in reminders of his basketball mortality, with questions about his numbered days at every turn going back to the first day of training camp.
"Wow, after the first practice? I feel good today, does that count for anything," Duncan replied with a hint of annoyance when asked if he was prepared to retire just moments after his first workout back in training camp.
The season has been a day-to-day experience for Duncan, good some nights, old the next. But the Spurs captain believes there are enough contributions left in his knees to bristle at the thought of retirement.
"I haven't even gotten to that bridge," Duncan said. "I don't even see that bridge yet. When I get there I'll cross it and see what's going on."
Across from Duncan, on the opposing bench, was a former player who has long since seen that bridge and today has trouble crossing anything. Kevin McHale, coach of the Houston Rockets, knows a thing or two about aging post players and the toll it takes on a body. He now walks with a pronounced limp, a daily reminder of the grind of the NBA and his decision to push through a playoff run on a broken foot.
"Timmy's still effective. He's looking more to facilitate when he first gets the ball, whereas years ago he was looking to attack a little bit more and score," McHale said. "But you know, you play different when you get older. If not, Bill Russell would still be winning championships."
How did McHale change his game as he reached the end of his career?
"Everybody shoots more jumpers because you get tired of getting beaten up," McHale said. "I see Timmy's gravitated towards that too."
[pullquote]"Everybody shoots more jumpers because you get tired of getting beaten up" [/pullquote]
Most nights McHale's assessment of Duncan would be spot on. Duncan is averaging a career low 2.7 shots at the rim and converting on less than half of them according to Hoopdata.com. Instead he's taking roughly half his shots from 16-23 feet, where he's hitting 53 percent of them.
This was reflective of McHale's pregame assessment of Duncan. And the white board in the visitor's locker room was even more revealing. Listed as the third key to the game were the words "get Duncan into as many pick and rolls as possible."
The San Antonio Spurs have taken many pains to mask this decline. Even Duncan's throwback games this season, like his game-winning performance in New Orleans, has been more the result of a locked in jump shot than a rejuvenated Tim Duncan.
When Duncan went to the bench early in the first quarter, there was little reason to believe he would have a similar night in him. When the Spurs struggled to slow Rockets shooters while failing to make anything themselves, there was little reason to believe they had a chance. But Popovich saw something he didn't see in other games.
"I thought in the first half our defense was actually pretty solid," Popovich said. "They made a lot of shots. We made a couple of mistakes, but the combination of them being on fire and us not being able to hit anything–that's something you have to be able to assess: whether guys are playing poorly, or you're playing well but things just aren't going your way."
But most importantly he saw a physically and emotionally invested Tim Duncan and a rare flashback of youth he dare not waste.
Because of his basketball IQ, Duncan will always be able to take advantage of what a defense gives him so long as he can get up and down the court. Last night, however, was more about what Duncan wanted to take.
For the first time all season the knee brace-clad leg looked less like a burden Duncan had to drag around and more like the foundation from which he leverages defenders and spins off of with. Instead of finding defenders in bad positions, he was putting them there.
To catch a glimpse of Duncan's physical dominance, one need only look at the box score. Duncan's 10 free throw attempts were the first time he's reached double digits in that category since losing to the Phoenix Suns in the 2009-2010 playoffs.
"I was just trying to be aggressive. I was trying to get in the paint as they were staying locked up on our shooters," Duncan said. "They weren't double-teaming so I got a chance to attack a little more, get in the paint, and make some shots. I felt good that quarter and just kind of made it work."
While Duncan has gravitated more towards the perimeter, as McHale suggested, he showed he still has some fight left in those knees. Getting beaten up in the post? Duncan isn't as tired of this as he is the questions about rest and retirement.
He will do so when he damn well pleases.

CANTON, Ohio — A Canton City Schools bus driver has been charged with several misdemeanors for an accident in which he struck a pedestrian, who later died, according to a story on cantonrep.com.
On Oct. 1, James Livery turned his school bus east onto a road, striking Vance H. Fether, who suffered severe head and abdominal injuries. He died a short time later. There were reportedly seven children on the bus at the time, and none of them was injured. Brian Zimmerman, Livery's attorney, told the news outlet that state investigators conducted accident reconstruction and determined "there was no criminal wrong-doing on his [Livery's] part. They established the bus driver would never have been able to see this poor man before the accident."
Warrants were issued for Livery's arrest last week, and he turned himself in. He was charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter and failure to yield for a pedestrian. He has since been released on bond pending a court hearing. Livery has been put on paid leave pending the outcome of the case, Lisa Reicosky, spokeswoman for Canton City Schools, told the news outlet.
