The time finally arrives when your GM asks you to have a seat in his office. He explains that the company is headed in a new direction and looking for change. Just when you think you've lost your job, he says, ¡°It's time to rebuild the on-air and production facilities.¡± So now, as you enjoy relief and certain job security, the equipment list, floor plans, time schedules and budget issues start racing through your head. And because you're guaranteed to lose sleep for the next few weeks, you start thinking of some fresh new products you'd like to use and you ask yourself this question: ¡°What's the one item in the facility that every on-air and production staff member will have an opinion about?¡± Chances are, they'll have something to say about the microphones.
There exists a breed of audiophiles who obsess over makes, models and manufacturers in their microphone arsenal. They miserably fiddle and fuss over placement, proximity and voice type when setting up mics for their sessions and on-air events. On the other hand, there is a rising number of audio engineers and production people who are less particular about microphones. They rely on good preamps, processors and postproduction techniques. This creates room for implementing less expensive microphones. Plus, the availability of inexpensive non-linear editing software has paved the way for new institutions such as podcasting and home recording studios. Thus, a massive crowd (with limited cash flow) is now in the market for inexpensive, yet effective microphones.
AKG has recently introduced the Perception 100, 200 and 400 mics, which accommodate general purpose miking needs. The Perception 100 and 200 are much alike, offering a cardioid polar pattern and 1¡± gold-sputtered diaphragm (a design feature that prevents shorting in high SPL situations). The Perception 200 adds a bass cut filter and 10dB switchable preattenuation pad, adding increased headroom for close miking. The 200 is also packaged with a metal carrying case and elastic spider shock mount, an added plus when compared to the 100's metal stand mount. The dual-diaphragm deluxe Perception 400 takes the 100 and 200 design a notch higher in performance and price, offering features such as a polar pattern selector, which switches between cardioid, figure eight and omnidirectional pickup patterns. The Perception 400 is packaged with a metal carrying case and elastic spider shock mount and is better suited for more critical miking applications, especially when budgets are less limited. The 100, 200 and 400 models offer a rugged all-metal design and each weighs about 1lb. Optional accessories for the Perception series from AKG include a 48V battery supply and dc/dc converter, studio pop screen, external windscreen and floor stand.
New choices from long-established manufacturers offer high performance with an economical price, such as the AKG Perception 400.
The designs of the Audio-Technica 40 Series microphones seem the same at first glance, however each mic brings unique characteristics to the table. The A-T4033/CL, a tribute to the A-T4033, contains a vapor-deposited gold diaphragm that has been aged to ensure consistent performance and a nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle that provides increased stability and sensitivity. The capsule and housing design are constructed to reject internal reflections, noise and vibration. The A-T4033/CL has a switchable 80Hz highpass filter to reduce unwanted low frequencies.
Designed much like the 4033/CL, the AT-4040 is a utility side-address condenser. The 4040 comes with a specially tensioned diaphragm. The 4040 has a switchable 80Hz highpass filter and 10dB pad.
The Audio Technica 30 Series offers the AT-3035 and AT-3060, two side-address condenser mics whose designs are more economical than the 40 Series, and still provide a great deal of quality for project studios and broadcast studios alike. The 3035 is designed much like the AT-4040, while the 3060 mimics the AT-4060 in its tube design. A real plus to the 3060 is the simple 48V phantom power supply requirement. Audio Technica also boasts the 20 Series that from a design perspective looks just like the 40 series. This includes the AT-2020, an affordable approach to general side-address miking needs, and the AT-2041, a package including an AT-2020 and AT-2021.
Audix has created the CX112 that fills the studio side-address condenser role in the extensive Audix microphone line-up. The single pattern cardioid contains a gold-sputtered diaphragm capsule that captures warm sonic characteristics, making it excellent for digital recordings. It lends itself strongly to instrument miking, as it can handle SPLs near 145dB. The mic comes equipped with a switchable 10dB pad, bass roll off, and can be switched on and off. The Audix SCX-25 is a unique condenser in its design and engineering. The large diaphragm capsule is mounted above a small, slender body that contains miniaturized circuitry, allowing the SCX-25 to leave a small, elegant footprint. The capsule is internally suspended, eliminating the need for an external shockmount.
Electro-Voice's RE-20 offers a heavy steel design and hum-bucking coil reject EMI, and an integrated wind filter reduces and nearly prevents pops and sibilance. The RE-20 behaves much like a condenser in its frequency and transient response; however, the dynamic Acoustalloy diaphragm makes it effective in high SPL environments. Proximity effect and off-axis coloration are greatly reduced by Variable-D technology. Electro-Voice didn't stop however with the RE-20. The RE-27ND is built just like the RE-20, except for its attractive satin nickel finish, and some changes in the diaphragm. The RE-27ND contains a neodymium alloy magnet and a reinforced diaphragm dome. This offers an increased output of nearly 6dB, and a noticeable response to high frequencies.
The Heil Proline is a series of dynamic cardioid studio microphones that not only meet or exceed sonic requirements, but are pleasing to those who appreciate classic radio aesthetics. The Heritage studio microphone mimics the Elvis microphone of the 1950s, with its chrome finish and birdcage design. Looks aren't everything however, as the 1¨û¡± aluminum low mass voice coil construction and close attention to the phasing plug assembly produce a linear cardioid pattern, reducing proximity effect and responding nicely from 40Hz to 18kHz (a design common in the Proline series). A blue foam breath blast screen fits inside the shell, replacing the traditional silk screens used in older microphones.
The Heil Classic Pro Studio Microphone is a throwback to the familiar 1930s RCA broadcast mic. However, while the Classic Pro and Heritage models may look old, they are equipped with today's technology. The Classic Pro is also a dynamic cardioid, and behaves sonically like the Heritage. Heil took the opportunity to have some fun with its retro Classic Pro and Heritage designs, but the Proline also offers microphone solutions that aesthetically compare to today's microphone construction.
Function is important, but form can add some personality like the Heil Classic Pro.
The PR-20 and PR-30 are internally constructed much like the Classic Pro and Heritage Studio Microphones, using the same Proline element, low mass voice coil and sorbothane shock mount system. The PR-20 design matches that of a hand-held mic, while the PR-30 looks more like a standard shock-mounted studio microphone. Heil mixes things up with the the PR-40 by using a unique copper-wound voice coil, neodymium magnet structure and the Heil DM 6 dynamic element that creates frequency response as low as 28Hz. The PR-40 delivers the characteristics of an expensive condenser microphone, but without reproducing background noise, and eliminating the need for phantom power.
Sennheiser also has a stake in affordable studio microphones, touting the MD421II. The MD421II handles high SPLs and comes equipped with a five-position bass roll-off switch, making it flexible in correcting proximity effect.
Neumann has two mics tailored for broadcast use. The BCM 104 condenser mic offers an independent, functionally-optimized design derived from 3D simulations. The large-diaphragm condenser capsule features a cardioid directional pattern with internally switchable proximity effect compensation. A second switch allows the sensitivity to be reduced by 14dB.
Housed in a similar package, the BCM 705 is a departure from traditional Neumann designs because it uses a dynamic mic element. To enhance low frequencies, the entire chamber surrounding the capsule has been enlarged and acoustically coupled to a rear entrance port. The same wire mesh pop screen principles used in the KMS 105 and BCM 104 microphones are used in this mic, removing the need of foam in front of the capsule. The 104 and 705 have changeable, color-coded head grills for easier indentification.
Shure's KSM line boasts the KSM 27,32 and 44 side address condensers. These mics contain Class A discrete transformerless amplifiers (for fast transient response and no crossover distortion), 1¡± gold-layered low mass Mylar diaphragms, 15dB pads for high SPLs, three-stage pop protection grills, and internal shock mount design. The KSM 44 has added features such as externally biased dual diaphragm construction, and a three-position low frequency filter for greater proximity effect correction.
The 55SH Series II is reminiscent of the classic Shure Unidyne II birdcage design. The 55SH is great for use in unfavorable acoustic conditions, because the dynamic unidirectional cardioid pickup pattern minimizes sound from behind the mic. The 55SH is outfitted with an on/off switch and cartridge shock mount to reduce stand noise.
The Shure SM7B is a dynamic studio mic. The cardioid polar pattern provides minimum coloration of off-axis sound; a valuable feature for inexperienced voice and on-air talent. The SM7B comes with bass roll-off and middle frequency emphasis adjustments to help tailor sound, and an internal air suspension shock isolation system that reduces mechanical noise. The SM7B ships with the A7WS windscreen for added protection against plosive Ps, and allows for warmer vocal pickup.
Other quality, yet affordable studio microphones to look for include the JoeMeek JM Series, the Studio Projects B and C Series, the Rode NT1-A, NT2-A, NT3, NTK, NT1000 and 2000, the Rode K2 and the Rode Broadcaster. All these microphones are a part of the growing number of mic models that our favorite manufacturers are making available to fit the expanding need for cost-effective microphones. While the availability of condenser, tube and dynamic studio mics have become more widespread, their quality hasn't fallen markedly, and if in fact newfound project studios are the driving force in making microphones more affordable, the radio industry can certainly take advantage.

Q: There is a stretch of beach between Baldwin Beach Park and Paia Bay, where the old lime kiln used to be, that has become a nudist gathering spot. Isn't this an illegal activity? If so, what can be done to prevent this from going on as it has been for months now? This bay is right next to the Paia Youth & Cultural Center.
A: In talking with our Maui Police Department, they said that officers will respond to calls involving "open lewdness," which is the law people violate when they expose themselves publicly. However, MPD recommends using two phone numbers for two different scenarios. If the person in question is nude but keeping to themselves, i.e., "passively" sunbathing, then police recommend calling the administrative line at 244-6400. If the person in question is being aggressive, exposing himself or herself to people and engaging in other forms of harassment, people should call 911. Police will respond in both cases but obviously there is a higher priority placed on the second scenario. Some people have asked whether they should take a picture of the nude sunbather with their cellphones as evidence for police when they arrive, but this is not necessary. Also, you run the risk of turning a passive situation into a confrontation if the individuals see you taking their picture. Better to let police handle the situation. On a related issue, this question serves as a reminder of why I favor the county taking advantage of the offer by Alexander & Baldwin to give us 36 acres of coastline - which would include this beach - if the county purchases a lot in A&B's Kahului business park for our new service center. We could clear out the sugar cane and brush and make the beach more accessible for the public, which in turn would likely deter this sort of nudity from happening in the first place.
Q: On cruise ship days (currently Sundays-Mondays), crew members from the ship are jaywalking across to Maui Mall and back to the harbor by the banyan trees near the turn where Hana Highway and Kaahumanu Avenue meet. Someone is going to get run over trying to cross over those five lanes of roadway. That area by the old Kahului train depot is a really bad place to cross because it has a blind spot. The jaywalking happens all the time the ship is docked, and the passengers from the ship see these crew members crossing at that spot so they try to cross the road too. I see a lot of people stuck in the middle of the road with both lanes of traffic passing them. Doesn't the ship tell their employees to use the crosswalk at the stoplight by Longs? Please tag those people before someone gets hit! This is happening in the morning, during the day and also at night. I know because I drive through that area all the time.
A: Thank you for your comments about jaywalking near Kahului Harbor. Our Wailuku patrol commander has been informed about this so that MPD's community police officer in Kahului can work with cruise ship personnel to help inform crew members and visitors, and reduce the number of pedestrians who risk their lives just to save a few steps.
Q: Regarding the question you answered in last week's column about motorcycles not triggering lights at some intersections: I've been told that if the light cycles two times, the rider may proceed through the red light with, of course, caution and common sense. Is this true?
A: According to Maui Police Department, while this is legal in other states, Hawaii state law does not have an exemption for motorcyclists to proceed through a red light. You can buy specialized magnets online that can help trigger the signals; however, before purchasing, consumers should carefully review the feedback from previous buyers as there is no guarantee that the magnet will work at all traffic signals. The magnets are mounted under the bike and send out a magnetic field that gets picked up by the sensors, which detect metal, not a vehicle's weight.

Reclassification of Financial Assets Under IAS 39: Impact on European Banks' Financial Statements
Peter Fiechter
University of Neuchatel - Institute of Financial Analysis
December 22, 2009
Accounting in Europe, Forthcoming
In response to the financial crisis, the IASB issued on 13 October 2008 an amendment to IAS 39 which enables entities to reclassify non-derivative financial assets held for trading and financial assets available-for-sale. This paper examines the influence of this controversial amendment on the financial statements 2008 of 219 European banks which apply IFRS. I find that approximately one-third of the sample banks have taken extensive advantage of these reclassification opportunities. The mean reclassification amount is 3.9% of total assets and 131% of the book value of equity, respectively. I further document that reclassifying banks avoid substantial fair value losses, and hence, report significant higher levels of return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), book value of equity, and regulatory capital. In particular, the mean ROE switches signs from a negative ROE of –1.4% to a positive ROE of 1.3% due to gains from reclassifications. Overall, this paper documents a substantial impact of the amendments on banks' financial statements and suggests analysing these reclassifications with particular caution.

Just when you thought it was safe to watch another awards show … Miley Cyrus turns up and twerks again! But the bad behavior didn't end there – she also lit what appeared to be a joint.
The 20-year-old got her wriggle on when she opened the MTV Europe Music Awards in Amsterdam on Sunday.
This time around, the "Wrecking Ball" singer – who wore a skimpy bikini when she did the bump and grind against Robin Thicke at August's VMAs – was a little more covered up in a skin-tight knee-length silver dress. But it was her dance partner who's likely to cause controversy.
Cyrus Twerked against a little person dressed in black bondage gear as she performed "We Can't Stop," at one point grabbing the woman's breast and slapping her bottom. The dancer returns the favor by slapping Cyrus's derriere.
Later on in the show, Cyrus came back to the stage to accept an award for her "Wrecking Ball" video and unashamedly lit what appeared to be a joint onstage.
On Thursday in Amsterdam, the singer was spotted at the Greenhouse coffee shop, which reportedly offers cannabis on its menu.

text: SportVU for you: Knicks vs. Spurs Posted by Jeff Garcia on Jan 2, 2014 23:38 ShareTweet The November New York Knicks (who face the San Antonio Spurs tonight) were a train wreck from the very beginning — after beating Milwaukee in their home opener, New York lost 13 of their next 15 games. Even when they won, they didn't; the Knicks lost Tyson Chandler, the only big man capable of chewing gum and running at the same time, for four to six weeks after grabbing their second victory against the once lowly (and current sixth seed!!!!) Charlotte Bobcats. The November Knicks were outscored by eight points per 100 possessions and finished dead last in opponent free throw rate, which is a very, very bad thing. The December Knicks were a little better. They still fouled a bunch — a byproduct of switching most pick-and-rolls, putting them in disadvantageous positions on the glass and on the perimeter, playing Andre freaking Bargnani 30 minutes per game and habitually missing/botching rotations. This confluence of awful led to dribble penetration conducive to open shots, specifically in the corners, and high percentage shots in the paint. The Knicks don't do anything well defensively, except for creating turnovers. The defense has marginally improved in December, but they're still terrible. The difference: They've scrapped together a league-average offensive team, an improvement from their November outfit, which was scoring 99 points per 100 possessions and making 35 percent of their 3's, down from their top five clip last year. The Knicks subsisted on 3-pointers for a third of their points last year, and though they aren't as reliant on 3's this year, they still live and die from the perimeter. The Knicks' percentage climbed to 38.8 percent in December, good for fifth, and their highest volume chuckers, Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, made at least 40 percent of their tries from deep last month. Chandler returning is a positive, though the Knicks' defense has been a few ticks worse with him on the floor (through just 10 games of data). They've floated the possibility of trading for often maligned Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (OH GOD STAY AWAY FROM MASAI) because Tim Hardaway, a rookie, is the only point guard on the roster with a league-average Player Efficiency Rating. Lowry, a pliable guard with some defensive chops, is an upgrade but it'll require the Knicks to mortgage their future, which is already muddy at best. The Knicks' schedule is brutal in early January – six games against above. 600 teams in the next 15 days — and it could put them in an ever deeper hole. Toronto is 9-3 since the Rudy Gay trade and may decide to push for a playoff berth; Chicago and Orlando are 4-6 in their last 10 games, a damn accomplishment in the East; and Boston is a good defensive team, even if they slipped a tad in December. Yet the 9-21 Knicks, with fewer wins than Sacramento and Utah, are three-and-a-half games behind the eighth seed. The Knicks could get hot, patch together their rotations (doubtful) and snag a playoff spot — perhaps even winning the AtlTANKTIC, and setting up a first-round matchup against either Washington, Charlotte, Detroit, Boston or another mediocre team of that ilk. Then, they'll be decimated against a real team in the ensuing round. But isn't a second-round exit, with this ravaged team, the equivalent of the holy grail? SportVU tidbits. — New York's defense is allowing 5.8 points (per 100 possessions) more with Bargnani on the floor. Opponents are scoring 41 points in the paint per game when Bargnani plays and 35 when he sits. BARGS BARGS BARGS BARGS. — But Bargnani has made 53.7 percent of his catch-and-shoot 2-pointers. His percentage dips to 28.6 on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers, though. — Among players averaging 50+ touches per game, Anthony only trails Kevin Durant in points per touch. He's touching the ball 69 times a game, and scoring 0.38 points each time. — Raymond Felton, averaging 5.1 assists, is creating 11.6 points per game from his assists. — Smith is averaging 4.5 pull up shots, scoring 0.62 points per each attempt. Philadelphia's Michael Carter-Williams is the only player shooting worse on pull ups this season. — Only Minnesota and Sacramento are worse at defending the restricted area (on a percentage basis).

The photo above shows U.S. Army artillerymen conducting a night fire mission from their base in eastern Afghanistan sometime in the summer of 2007. The starry night sky, combined with the blurry traces created by the soldier's headlamps and the approaching thunderstorm in the background make for a surreal, almost eerie atmosphere that just works, even though the photo is too dark for print.
I still remember how dark the nights were in this place, a small town in the eastern province of Paktika, not far from the border to Pakistan.
There were no light sources around the base for miles, which made the milky way almost pop out of the sparkling sky in clear nights. But when there was a cloud cover it got dark, really dark. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face, not in a figure-of-speech kind of way but in reality. If you found yourself without a flashlight after dusk, you were pretty much lost and entirely on your own. Moving around the base then felt like running a gauntlet inside a black box filled with potholes, armored trucks (some shredded by IED blasts), razor wire and other sharp-edged, pointy things you'd run into all too easily.
Taking quality photos at night is never easy. Most of the times you can't rely on the auto focus of your camera, so you end up focusing manually as you peek through a tiny view finder. But the low light wasn't the only problem in this case.
155 mm artillery pieces pack a mighty punch. They leave the ground shaking and they kick up quite some dust each time they are fired. That doesn't exactly help if you set your camera on a tripod or on the ground for a long-time exposure. The frame above is one of the few shots that came out right that night. To enhance it I removed several hot pixels and applied a heavy dose of the noise reduction filter in Lightroom. I wasn't even shooting RAW images at the time, which only left me a JPEG file to tinker with. Judging the photo it's still evident that I pushed the 2004 camera model I was shooting with at the time to its limits.
So what exactly were they soldiers shooting at?
A grid on a map would be the most accurate way to describe it. Any spot outside the wire was considered enemy territory. Insurgents, most o them affiliated with the ruthless Haqqani network were freely roaming the area planting IEDs and laying ambushes; after all this was their home turf.
So immediately after a rocket or mortar attack, artillerymen would emerge from their bunkers near the firing line and start plastering the area they thought the enemy fire had come from with high explosive artillery rounds. POO site they called it, a term usually muttered with a scornful, defiant tone. Devilish grins made clear not everybody associated the acronym with the actual meaning of Point of Origin but something nastier.
Sometimes intelligence would be picked up from an obscure informant or was passed down from the higher-ups at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Salerno or Orgun-E, bases many thought of as a far-away islands inhabited by people who were completely detached from reality on the ground. At some point the intelligence finally reached the artillerymen, who broke that information it into an angle, an azimuth and a grid on a map that lay within the range of their hulking artillery guns. And then they fired.
Sometimes you could see the rounds explode among the gentle slopes of the nearby mountain range that marked the border with Pakistan. In those moments you couldn't help but secretly marvel at the awesomeness of so much firepower.
In 2007, when the new counterinsurgency manual FM 3-24 put together by General Petraeus was still hot off the press, harassment and interdiction (H&I) fire missions were still frequently conducted to stem the flow of fighters and weapons from across the border in Pakistan.
Some officers at FOB Boris openly conceded the futility of those fire missions, but in those pre-surge times, personnel and other assets were spread too thin to conduct meaningful population-centric counterinsurgency operations. Yet most still valued the firepower those artillery guns gave them, which enabled them to offer covering fire for ground troops in the area, hit back at the insurgents after an attack or flatten other targets they wanted destroyed.
"H&I fire missions, it's like we're back in Vietnam" one of the Lieutenants said at the time, looking at the not-so-distant mountain range to the east. Six years later, the same rat lines are being used by the next generation of fighters who venture into Afghanistan to wage war.
I never liked treating death as a side note to any story. But I feel the story on this base isn't told in its entirety without a hint on how it got its name. In the summer of 2007, the base was actually called FOB Bermel, named after the district where it was located. Only later it was re-named to honor Captain David A. Boris, who was a company commander with the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team based on FOB Bermel at the time.
He got killed in a roadside bombing along with a fellow soldier and an Afghan interpreter driving up to the mountain range east of his base about three months after I had left.

Several star players could miss the start of the season with injuries. Let's take a look at why each player's team will miss them and why they won't miss them.
Why they will: The Lakers played 981 minutes without Kobe on the floor last season and saw a five-point swing in the wrong direction per 48 minutes while he was on the bench.
Lakers With Kobe Bryant On/Off Court
Last Season
Why they won't: Bryant has missed 103 regular-season games in his career. The Lakers have a .621 win percentage in those games, including 5-3 last season.
Why they will: Last season, with Rose in the lineup, the Bulls went 32-7. They scored 100.4 points per 48 minutes with Rose on the court compared to just 92.2 with him off the floor.
Why they won't: Chicago went 18-9 (.667 win pct) in games Rose missed during the 2011-12 regular season. Excluding the Bulls, the Heat were the only team in the Eastern Conference that had a better win percentage than .667 last season.
Why they will: The Timberwolves are 5-38 without Love since he entered the league, including 2-18 in the last two seasons.
Why they won't: They will. Last season per 48 minutes, the Timberwolves scored more points, shot better, had a better assist-to-turnover ratio, and had a +9.0 swing in rebound margin with Love on the court than they did with him off the court.
Why they will: Last season, the Mavs outscored opponents by 6.0 points per 48 minutes with Dirk on the court but were outscored by 8.4 points per 48 minutes with him off the court.
Why they won't: The two key returning Mavs players, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion, both averaged more points per game in the four games Nowitzki missed last season than they did in the games he played.
Carmelo Anthony Last Season
In Games With/Without Amar'e Stoudemire
Why they will: In 2010-11, Stoudemire averaged 25 points, eight rebounds and two assists per game with a 50 field-goal percentage, something that has been done 68 times in history. Assuming Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal will be Hall of Famers, 66 of the other 67 seasons were by Hall of Famers.
Why they won't: The Knicks were 14-5 in games without Stoudemire last season but just 22-25 with him. They scored more points and allowed fewer points per game without Stoudemire.
Why they will: Andrew Bynum averaged more than 18 points and 11 rebounds per game last season. The 76ers haven't had a player with those averages in a season since Charles Barkley more than 20 years ago.
Why they won't: Each of the 76ers' first 12 games are against teams that won fewer than 40 games last season. Seven of those games are against teams that finished below .500 last season.
Why they will: When Ricky Rubio tore his ACL on March 9, the Timberwolves were the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference with a 21-20 record. But after he went down, the Timberwolves lost 20 of their final 25 games and finished 12th in the West.
Fewest Points per Play Last Season
Minimum 500 Plays
Why they won't: Rubio was very inefficient creating his own offense last season. He averaged just 0.74 points per play, the fewest among the 176 players with at least 500 plays.
Why they will: John Wall is one of three players in history to average at least 16 points, eight assists and four rebounds per game in each of his first two seasons. The others? Oscar Robertson and Damon Stoudamire.
Why they won't: Wall was not efficient as a pick-and-roll ball-handler last season. Among the 41 players to run at least 200 pick-and-roll plays, Wall averaged the fewest points per play (0.69).
Why they will: The Spurs went 28-6 (.824 win pct) and averaged 108.3 points per game with Ginobili in the lineup last season. Without him, their win percentage dropped to .688 and they averaged nearly 10 fewer points per game.
Why they won't: The Spurs outscored opponents by 9.7 points per 48 minutes last postseason with Ginobili on the bench. With him on the court, that margin shrunk to +3.2.

The Twenties: American Writing in the Postwar Decade : The author has drawn a sharp portrait of this turbulent decade in American life and letters, often stereotyped as the age of wonderful nonsense and bathtub gin but also recognized as a period of brilliant experiment and enduring achievement in literature. He moves swiftly from examination of the issues of the day - vast changes in the moral code, postwar cynicism, the economic boom - to analysis of appropriate literary texts. The result is a first-rate discussion of an exciting era and of the writers who found new forms in which to re-create their times.

With just a few days left until Election Day, there is still work to be done to make sure we reach as many voters as we can. And we need your help!
An hour here, or half an hour there, you can truly make an impact on the future of Hart SD Schools ... this is what it takes to get out the vote on election day!
Here is how you can help:
n Walk a neighborhood. Today from noon to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., we will be leading four area walks. We will be meeting at Saugus, Canyon, Hart and Valencia high schools.
n Make phone calls. On Monday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and Election Day from noon to 8 p.m., we will be making phone calls from the Measure SA Headquarters at 28456 Constellation Road, Suite 104, in Valencia.
Please let us know if you can make it anytime during those hours to make 30 minutes of calls or even two hours — every minute talking to a potential voter is worth it! Again, contact us so we can make sure we have enough materials for you!
n Hand out fliers at one of the elementary schools Monday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. We will be handing out fliers about Measure SA to parents picking up their students at each elementary school in the Santa Clarita Valley. Again, contact us if you would like to participate.
n And lastly, wave "Yes on Measure SA" signs. This is something I consider to be the most fun. So on Election Day from 8 to 9 a.m. and 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., we need a group of energetic people to wave signs at key high-traffic intersections.
This takes the least amount of effort and produces some of the best advertisement on Election Day. Students are best at making this look like fun!
This is it! Three days to go until everyone casts their vote.
Contact the campaign today at (661) 755-0747 to sign up to help.
And don't forget to vote "yes" on Measure SA.

New attractions at the State Fair
Officials hope they will increase attendance
The New Mexico State Fair is banking on new attractions to break a streak of low attendance.
Last September the fair brought in about 400,000 people, and that was a disappointing turnout to officials.
So this year they brought in new attractions like a mountain board show, a white tiger exhibit and a zip line.
The new features mean fairgoers will pay more. It's $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and kids.
"Hopefully we'll see an increase in attendance, increase in revenue and put (those profits) back into the fair. Make it better, and get things back to where they used to be," spokesman Michael Henningsen said.
The New Mexico State Fair doesn't get state funds, so admission pays the fair's bills. The parking this year is free. The fair runs every day through Sept. 23.

This can't be a "man-bag". Surely he is just holding his wife's handbag while she is grabbing the Starbucks!
Not at all. I shot this during fashion week and saw him several times that day with it.
I still can't think of it as a "man-bag", but heck its a great bag and a great photo! :D I want it!
great bag, but not in a million years would by dh be holding it unless it was for me:)
um, this just looks wrong
I ain't even man.
Do yo' thang.
As a guy myself, I'm considering a version of the chanel GST in black cavair leather. It's classic, and with siver hardware, it looks cool.
R.I.P. Man Bag Monday
It will be back next week full-force, promise! These past few weeks have been really hectic with personal things
Whoever this guy is, he looks like he is trying too hard to be "fashionable"…
I saw a man who lives in my apartment carry a grey Hermes bag on his elbow- twice. I've concluded that that belongs to him as I've only seen him carrying it around.
I think men should really stick to their man bags. Please no womanly bags.. no matter if it's a chanel or not!! It just looks a bit weird . :S
Altogether too disturbing, there is no middle ground or masculinity this is simply put- Wrong!
Men can pull of Chanel. I like to think so because I have one and I'm a guy. LOL. Maybe if he wore a different outfit. But even with a different outfit, I doubt that it will work.
NO. Dont be deluded. Men can pull of certain bags but NOT this bag. Esp with the chain thing. Look at Brad Goreski. He pulled off a Chanel briefcase.
Interesting. I would assume he's holding it for his gf or wife, but I guess that's not the case here!
Back at ancient time, the idea of " bag" was originally designed for man, for hunter especially. I don't see there is anything wrong a man wears a timeless handbag like Chanel in the city.
My husband would rather die.
It looks like a male carrying a female bag. There's nothing manly about it.
Personally, i love the man bag. but for some reason that particular bag does not seem man bag-like to me. i think it might be the chain that chanel uses. i think a strap would be more fitting for a man bag
Handmade luxury products for fine living.
Complimentary Shipping to the USA
I would wear this with pride and a little pep in my step! FABULOUS.
Holding it like this is okay, hope he did not put in on shoulder?
Men can pull off many bags. Unfortunately, I just don't think this is one of them. Not this bag. Not this time.
Uh, no.
No man can pull that off.
if this person can afford to buy this bag id say kudos to him.
why would we judge whatever he likes or not.
why be bitter, be better id say.
So not into that look!
I don't see why the GST on a man would be 'wrong'? I think it's awesome and it looks super cool to me! Loosen up a bit ;-)
what's the style name for this bag? I saw it in the store @ Neiman. It cost $2600… only two color – camel and black! I love it.. but want a different color!
That is absolutely WRONG !
its not the bag that worries me. its those absolutely disgusting shoes which look like they belong in a school playground.
he has some taste disorder…oops…so bitter…
Again, creepy…
i dont get why people are being so rude about this. its his personal choice. and if he enjoys it, let him be. i dont get the comments like no guys would ever hold this yatti yatti.. and secondly he might be a homoesexual, which i also am, and can possibly enjoy more womenly/feminine bags.. i personally would love to have a chanel flap bag in the fabric quilted one, i just cant afford it yet..
Personally i wouldnt carry it but if he likes it he should work it! Alot of people say that i being a guy shouldnt carry a speedy 40 because its too "GIrly" but i do anyways. Guys if you like a bag rock it!
Id love to see gay people wearing more bags just like this!
And metrosexual men also. I think its lovely and honestly enjoying ones life like it should be enjoyed!
Go for it guys!
There are two types of guys that deny to wear designers bags like Chanel or Hermes
1) Tasteless guys
2) Penniless guys
ilove this marke

We thought it would be a normal Marathon Monday at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The Boston Marathon is always held on the third Monday in April and is a public holiday—Patriot's Day. All state offices are closed, together with many businesses; but for hospitals, it is a regular working day. The MGH normally expects to receive about 15 to 20 marathon runners with hyponatremia and dehydration, many more are treated at the medical tents along the route of the marathon. For many this is a day that Bostonians look forward to each year as the unofficial start of spring.
It was not to be. At 2:50 p.m., an explosion rocked the area near the finish line, closely followed 11 seconds later by a second blast. Two minutes later, Boston EMS initiated a hospital ringdown; they contacted all of the Boston hospitals requesting disaster capability. Our answer is always the same; we have immediate capacity for 10 critical patients, 20 seriously injured, and we can accept unlimited "walking wounded." I was paged as soon as the radio call came in; at this time we had no idea of the potential number of injured patients or of their severity. I looked at the current ED census—we were full and had 1 open stretcher bay in the entire department.
The first patient arrived without entry notification at 3:04 p.m. by private vehicle; the patient was female and had sustained a traumatic amputation of one of her legs together with multiple other injuries. Two minutes later, a police van arrived with 2 additional patients—both also had traumatic lower extremity amputations, again there had been no time for entry notification. We activated our Hospital Incident Command System (HICS). Simultaneously, several hundred MGH staff received a phone call to their home and work, a message was also sent to their pagers, e-mail, and cell phone alerting them of the need to respond to disaster stations. The response from all staff was immediate and coordinated. Within minutes, the ED was vacated and rooms stocked in preparation for the arrival of further victims. Disaster packs, one for each expectant patient, were opened, enabling us to identify patient by prearranged medical record numbers. Preprinted wrist bands with the bar codes on them were attached to all disaster patients upon ED arrival. (We use scanned bar codes for patient identification.) Eight critical patients arrived to the hospital within 30 minutes of the explosion. Among the first was the patient who arrived pulseless; she had already exsanguinated. IVs were started; she was given 4 units of uncrossed blood and, with her blood pressure restored, was transferred immediately to the operating room. Over the next few minutes 5 other patients—3 with traumatic amputations—were also resuscitated and sent to the operating room; at that time we had positive identification on 1 of these 6 patients. More patients, albeit less severely injured, followed them to the operating room over the next 2 to 3 hours. The MGH treated 31 patients that day; several more arrived over the subsequent 24 to 48 hours.
Unfortunately, 3 patients died at the scene of the explosions; miraculously all of the patients who were transferred to hospitals survived. There will be further debriefings over the next few weeks—several factors undoubtedly contributed to this remarkable survival rate. At the scene, many first responders were immediately able to respond (despite the personal risk of further potential bomb blasts) and to control the hemorrhage from the multiple patients with lower extremity injuries. Stories abound of clothes being torn to make improvised tourniquets—this proved to be lifesaving. Staff in the medical tent close to the finish line changed their role from treating dehydration to controlling external hemorrhage and crystalloid resuscitation without missing a beat. Many ambulances were stationed near the finish line and could transport the most critically injured rapidly to the nearby hospitals. Boston EMS staff on scene performed an exemplary function in triaging the severely injured to the trauma centers, taking care not to overload the resources of any one hospital. Boston is fortunate to have a plethora of hospital resources—5 level 1 adult trauma centers and 3 level 1 pediatric trauma centers are within 3 miles of the finish line; all hospitals received critical patients in roughly equal numbers.
The timing of the explosions was also opportune; the incident occurred at the change of shift. The morning shift was completing the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift; the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift was already in house. On every unit in the hospital, the medical, nursing, and support staff stayed to assist however they could—it was as though there was immediate double coverage. It was a Monday; the hospital was relatively open and had not yet filled with the elective cases that tend to occur early in the week. Being a state holiday, the scheduled operating list was relatively light, but because it was a normal working day, the operating rooms were fully staffed; the operating rooms were also completing their operative schedules for the day. All of these factors contributed, but above all, it was the training and the repeated disaster drills that made the difference. Although we did not receive any patients from Ground Zero on that fateful day in September 2001, we realized that our hospital internal disaster plan was inadequate; we took the opportunity to thoroughly revise our response. We requested a consultation with Israeli emergency physicians—they let us know how they are able to respond to a bombing on a bus—they told us they experience this scenario every 6 weeks and are able to manage 70 to 80 patients arriving simultaneously. We worked with Boston EMS to hone our coordination and skills and performed numerous drills, often on a citywide basis. The simulated building collapse, the dirty bomb scenario at Logan airport, and the repetitive activation of the MGH disaster response system—yes—on nights and weekends all contributed to our learning and familiarity. This training and the iterative improvement in response by all involved made the difference on Marathon Monday. Our elected representatives who help fund these efforts have to be informed that this is money well-spent; this training made the difference and translated directly into lives saved.
Unfortunately, terrorism in today's world is a reality and even in the United States we now realize we are not immune. As a medical community we must be prepared to meet this challenge. In the ensuing months, I am sure we will be analyzing the Boston Marathon response in more detail and we will surely find that there are more lessons to be learned. However, as a medical professional working that day, I feel an enormous sense of pride in being a member of a team of health care providers—both prehospital and in-hospital—all of whom functioned in a rehearsed, choreographed, and coordinated response. At the end of the day, the system worked and lives were saved. I remain convinced that it was mostly this coordination of effort that contributed to the dramatic survival of the bombing victims. Or as one physician stated to an ad hoc debriefing about 48 hours after the event, "We all came together and worked as a team, and as a team we together saved lives." It was truly a day to remember.

In season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City, fans applauded when Alex McCord finally stood up to her costar, Jill Zarin. "When you're dealing with someone who only understands when you hit her in the face with a verbal two-by-four, then that's what you have to do," McCord says of the famous mean girl confrontation. Now, McCord, who says, "It is absolutely crucial and necessary in reality TV to let know how you feel," is bringing her outspoken attitude to a blog about Bravo's newest chapter in the hit Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of Washington D.C. Each week, McCord will share her thoughts on and advice for her D.C. counterparts. "It is a great ride to take in life. It's so much fun," McCord says of the reality TV spotlight. "Maintain your sanity in whatever way you need to." Here's McCord's first post about Thursday's series premiere:
My opening line on New York City series goes like this: "To a certain group of , status is everything." But in D.C., we learned, "the currency is proximity to power." Both are sweeping statements but both scratch the soft white underbelly of what everyone who is honest thinks, at some point, of either city. So far, most of the D.C. Housewives seem to be sitting in the balcony – about as close to power as Sarah Palin's ex-stylist's manicurist.
The closest two seem to be Cat Ommanney, whose husband has a security-clearance-level job, though for how much longer once this series airs, we'll see, and Mary Amons, who was born there and grew up socializing with the families of political icons. She and I have a few things in common, which is one of the reasons I wanted to blog about the show. I was born in D.C., spent my first couple of years in McLean, Va., and whether there or back in Highland Park, my dad played poker the guys everyone knows, who would never in a billion years be on a reality show other than C-SPAN. My father was in D.C. due in part to members of the Bush family – yes, they ruled school even in the '70s. (Mary and I also share the same annoying strings for intro music. Sorry, darling.) Next season (if there is one), she'll learn not to say the word "connections" and to know that by name-dropping her neighbors, she has outed them, since her address will be all over the Internet by next week. I did enjoy watching her drunkenly try to integrate Washington's hair salons, and her husband Rich trying on pants. The only place Simon would wear those pink pants is to a dinner with someone he wanted to annoy. They call them "f--- you" pants for a reason, and every man should have a pair.
Having heard forever about what pleasant the Bushes all were, I understood where Cat was attempting to go at Stacie's party. I remember having a heated argument with my mother in 2000 about not allowing your rosy memories of someone's family to color the way you vote. You can be the nicest guy in the world at parties, which might get you elected, but it doesn't make you a good leader. Cat lost me when, in her husky Wiltshire voice, she proceeded to brag about her husband and show cell phone photos of Vice President Biden. Ugh. By going so far as to tell that your husband's photos elected a president, you've shown the world that you are insecure and need to jockey for position. Badly played, Cat, though not the worst offender.
Probably I'd like Stacie off camera, but on camera she bores me. Kudos to her for being lovely, articulate and a hard worker, but she showed her naïvete when she defended someone she doesn't know. Don't ever do that; you'll get burned.
I'd love to know what Lynda's primary bookings are for her models – she said her top clientele are dignitaries and ambassadors. May I raise my hand and ask why they need models? I did snicker at the goat rodeo comment, but so far, she seems very two-faced regarding Michaele. If you don't like her, own it.
Speaking of Michaele ... do we really have to? Okay, we saw her throwing clothes on the bed "reminiscent of Coco Chanel" – or perhaps an '80s prom – then moving on to Pretty Woman. That must have been before Richard Gere picked her up. Apparently, she "did an event" for Obama for Rock the Vote; does that mean she hosted it? Not sure, and neither were the stylists. I hope they got paid, because apparently Lynda didn't. Michaele seems to be the personification of that talking Barbie that said, math class is tough, and was yanked off shelves in the '90s. Or possibly a pathological liar, like Jon Lovitz's character on Saturday Night Live. Yeah, that's the ticket. She should not have been repaid for allegedly crashing every party in town, including the White House, by being kept on this show. I've had horrified calls from my mother twice post-Housewives – once about LuAnn throwing her title around, and again post Dinner-gate about the Salahis, hoping that they weren't going to be a part of the show.
Overall, I shuffled between being bored and turned off while watching The Real Housewives of D.C. I really wish we could have political candidates on the show, but they wouldn't do it, plus there are FCC rules about that. Lobbyists wouldn't because they'd never work again. So, we are left with four nice girls and a craven hair flipper, all of whom have that first season nervousness in front of the camera. Here's hoping it gets better! I'll be watching and reporting right here. --Alex McCord

You have such a lovely way with words.

Nursing is indeed special. I nursed my older daughter until almost age two and plan to do the same with her little sister (who is currently 5 months old...can you believe it?).

I, too, never bother with breast pumps and bottles. I'd rather just keep my babies by my side.

And I totally hear you on the "extra padding" for breastfeeding. That has been my experience too.

email@example.com://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-25821517744541637562009-08-09T06:32:31.848-07:002009-08-09T06:32:31.848-07:00My older daughter had a hard time latching on the ...My older daughter had a hard time latching on the first few weeks, so I did a lot of pumping (and then feeding her from a medicine cup because we didn't want her to have nipple confusion with a bottle!). I felt like a cow hooked up to a milking machine (these are analogies that occur to you when you live in farm country). I think my husband may have even mooed at me once or twice.

My second daughter latched on within an hour of birth, and is a champion nurser--she manages to empty me out completely within five minutes on each side! It's quite a contrast, but I have very fond memories of both. We haven't tried Gracie on a bottle yet, but I'd like to soon, if only for the knowledge that if I ever do want to, oh, get a haircut or something, I can do it without worrying about messing with her eating schedule.Elouise82http://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-82079773835668353122009-08-08T12:56:11.729-07:002009-08-08T12:56:11.729-07:00I love breastfeeding stories...

I didn't use the cry area as it was full of kids (surprise, I know) and I wanted to stay with my hubby in our pew. I was telling a church employee about my figuring it all out and she told me to feel free to use the confessional if I wanted to. I guess part of the outside is a one way mirror and it has full sound so I could still see and hear, but would have total privacy. I never used it, but she really encourages new mothers to do so if it makes them more comfortable! So, no worries...it is God's house and he is on board with what you are doing :)

Congrats on doing so wonderfully nursing. We planned longer, but due to a car accident my milk supply disappeared at about 6 1/2-7 months. We worked hard, but it didn't come back. Hoping the next one will go much longer!

I hate pumping..I thought I could do it, and I tried.Kristinhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-9095074682523561932009-08-05T15:58:13.469-07:002009-08-05T15:58:13.469-07:00With Luke, I held on to those extra ten pounds unt...With Luke, I held on to those extra ten pounds until right around when he weaned. With Tommy, I've lost ten extra pounds (DON'T PUNCH ME). It'll be interesting to see if those pounds stay out or if they creep back when he's not constant newborn nursing.
I just so love the fact that you've never pumped. It makes me jealous because I wish I could be the same, but I like that you know how lucky that makes you.Erinhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-42777619860823439132009-08-05T15:37:05.068-07:002009-08-05T15:37:05.068-07:00I hate pumping, but it's a necessarily evil wh...I hate pumping, but it's a necessarily evil when I'm working.

My body also seems to be clinging to those last five pounds, but I don't mind so much right now because it's only been 6 months, and also I eat like a ferocious tiger.Sandyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-83824050655734206462009-08-05T15:23:54.373-07:002009-08-05T15:23:54.373-07:00I've never used a pump, either.

If Miss Clara nurses until past 2 like her brothers have, maybe I'll make ten years! A decade of nursing...wow.

I'm also not big on pumping. It's always seemed like a bigger hassle to pump than to just time my feedings and/or be gone less long. It did come in mighty handy when Clara was hospitalized, though. :)Meagan Francishttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-50190773620330933782009-08-05T14:33:40.785-07:002009-08-05T14:33:40.785-07:00A confessional is just a room when there is no pri...A confessional is just a room when there is no priest in there! I actually think it would be the perfect place to nurse in church. Our church (Catholic) has no nursery, no confessional, nowhere. I had to nurse with my cover on in the middle of church. I am one of those people that covers up for my own comfort, not others, so I did not like having to nurse in the middle of Mass. But it was what my girl needed. I miss the snuggling during nursing, as my baby (17 months) is not one to sit and snuggle now.nicolehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-36048713507293172212009-08-05T13:54:11.746-07:002009-08-05T13:54:11.746-07:00I enjoy your blog and read it regularly. It's...I enjoy your blog and read it regularly. It's wonderful that you are able to get by without pumping or bottle-feeding at all. However, there are a TON of women who must work, and are just as dedicated to breastfeeding and who work HARD to pump enough to ensure baby gets only breastmilk. It's very easy to want to supplement with formula when you don't pump enough. But you get up at night, you pump between feedings on your days off, to ensure that baby gets only mama's milk. That also is dedication.No Crying Mamahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-79788890951210143332009-08-05T13:50:20.396-07:002009-08-05T13:50:20.396-07:00Oh yeah, and the weight SO does not come off of me...Oh yeah, and the weight SO does not come off of me.

I have pumped, but never for my own children. None of my kids have ever had a bottle and don't really even know what to think of them when they do see them.

I don't go anywhere without my babe either. If I'm going to be gone longer than she will allow, she just comes with me. I think that's how it's supposed to be.Kimhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-83015706783907152102009-08-05T13:44:57.703-07:002009-08-05T13:44:57.703-07:00I want to hit people who say breastfeeding is the ...I want to hit people who say breastfeeding is the best diet! Cause it's not. It does not 'melt away' the pregnancy weight for all of us. My doctor finally told me I'll probably hang onto a lot of my extra weight (aka back fat) until I wean.
But still, I'm not in a hurry. George is 18 months old and still enjoys nursing, and so do I.
So, I guess I'll just have to wait to get back into my prepregnancy clothes...Heather Dhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-946124494233198472009-08-05T13:41:45.604-07:002009-08-05T13:41:45.604-07:00Breast Feeding mamas are my heroes!

For example, check out this nice dog pet bed made from an older television cabinet. http://tinyurl.com/lprtcc6 (scroll down) This kind of thing could sell for $75 or more. True, it takes some real labor to remove and dispose of the television guts -- not to mention picking up the cabinets from donors. Just wanted to share the idea, though. This kind of thing makes for an easy newspaper article topic -- and the newspaper article exposure could boost the makerspace, too. phil btw, there's a neat open source subtheme to these kinds of conversions.
