As a freshman pitcher for the University of Louisville, Anthony Kidston had it rolling.
The right-handed pitcher from Defiance, Ohio, had a 5-0 record and 1.31 ERA in 13 appearances last season, striking out 58 in 48 innings.
But on April 21, Kidston left a game against St. John's after seven strong innings with some arm trouble. He spent two weeks trying to rehab the injury to get back in time for the Big East Tournament and U of L's postseason run.
"But then I felt a little more pain," Kidston said. "They did another MRI and this time they did the one with dye and that's when I found out that I tore my labrum."
Kidston, who was later named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, missed the rest of the season. His long rehab ended on Tuesday when Kidston took the mound for the first time this season for Louisville, pitching three strong innings and picking up a win as U of L downed Western Illinois 9-0.
"It's been a long recovery process and a little harder than I thought it was going to be," Kidston said. "It's been an experience that I hope I never have to go through again, but I made it back and I feel good.
"There was a little rust but I'm OK."
Kidston pitched three innings, allowed one hit and walked two while striking out four.
"It was great to see him back out there," U of L coach Dan McDonnell said. "That's a big boost for our pitching staff."
As a freshman, Kidston was a standout on a strong staff and he could push for a spot in the weekend rotation with a few more appearances.
U of L pitching coach Roger Williams limited Kidston to 52 pitches on Tuesday and he will likely see a mid-week start again next week.
"It was hard to sit out and watch," Kidston said. "But I just thank the Lord that I am back in this position. It's been a long road.
"I have been throwing for about five months now but hit a little bump a month ago and shut down for about 10 day. I went (to the Dr.) and he said the arm was ready to go, so he said when I was ready to go that it was fine. I felt so good after the first (simulated game) that I told coach Williams I just wanted to go.
"I'm pretty fired up."
U of L (12-4) will host a big three-game series this weekend with Southern Conference for Samford (11-5) at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The games will be played at 3 p.m. on Friday and 1 o'clock on Saturday and Sunday.

'This Is 40': Familiarity breeds indifference
In any relationship, intimacy leads to familiarity.
And while contempt does not always follow, too much information can shatter many an illusion. This is one of the themes in "This Is 40," a random series of loosely connected vignettes about marriage, parenting, aging and, for some reason, Megan Fox and 1970s rocker Graham Parker. »Read Full Article(1)
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article

While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

Good oozed out all over the ice Thursday night for the Amarillo Rattlers.
Behind the history making hat tricks of Ian LaRocque and Toby Harris, the Rattlers disposed of San Angelo 8-5 Thursday night in a high-octane offensive game, and took over first place in the Western Division race of the Western Professional Hockey League.
The 1,527 fans in the Cal Farley Coliseum witnessed the first double hat trick in Rattlers history. Plus, the fans left seeing the Rattlers in first place for the first time during the month of November in the five-year history of the franchise.
I dont think I have been in a game where another player from my team had a hat trick, Harris said. This is a first. We are roommates, too. So I guess we need to be eating the same pre-game meal every day now.
Amarillo improved to 6-1-1 on the season and grabbed its 12th and 13th points. The Rattlers moved a point ahead of idle New Mexico (6-0-0, 12 points), setting up an early Western Division showdown tonight in New Mexico between the Rattlers and Scorpions.
From a hockey purist point of view, it probably wasnt a great game, said Amarillo coach Kevin Abrams. It was entertaining with lots of goals and we were able to show some of our skill level. But we have to tighten up a little bit. In essence we got two points. It might not have been a perfect game, but it was a win.
Amarillo 8, San Angelo 5
Records: Amarillo Rattlers improved to 6-1-1 (13 points). San Angelo Outlaws dropped to 4-1-1 (9 points).
Impact: Rattlers take over first place in the Western Division.
Three stars: Number 1 Amarillo, left winger Toby Harris (3 goals); Number 2 Amarillo, right winger Ian LaRocque (3 goals); Number 3 Amarillo, defenseman Chad Wilchynski (three assists).
Although it didnt start out as a walk in the park for the Rattlers when San Angelo opened with two early goals, this was certainly Amarillos night led by Harris, LaRocque, and a gritty effort from the Rattlers four healthy defensemen.
The Rattlers, without ice time the previous two days because of a concert, started slow and with no flow. The result was a San Angelo two-goal lead 7:30 into the game.
But Harris and Brad Haelzle provided the spark the Rattlers were looking for and ignited a big night of offense.
Haelzle, as his teammates have come to expect of him, outworked San Angelos defense down low, and fed a wide open Harris in front of the goal. Harris easily beat Sergei Tkachenko at the 12:43 mark of the first, cutting the Outlaws lead in half.
The goal was the first of three recorded by the hot Harris. Harris, owner of a team-high eight goals, saw his third goal put Amarillo ahead for good 4-3 at the 6:22 mark of the second.
Hot is all you can call a guy when a puck deflects off his shin and past the goalie. Thats what happened on Harris third goal when defenseman Chad Wilchynski shot on net from near the blueline.
Billy Newson was working hard in the corner and got the puck up to the point to Chad, Harris said. Chad was winding up and I went to the net as hard I could. A little Irish luck, it went into the net.
Amarillo extended the lead to 5-3 in the second period when forward LaRocque showed his immense skill on his first goal.
Amarillo defenseman Larry Empy started the play when he made a nice effort to keep the puck in the San Angelo zone, then fed LaRocque near the face-off circle.
LaRocque fired on Tkachenko, who made a glove save. But Tkachenko put the puck back in play, and the hustling LaRocque buried the rebound at the 8:14 mark of the second.
It really surprised me, LaRocque said of seeing Tkachenko drop the puck. I was trying to drive to the net. I ended up my butt, and landed on my stick and took a swipe at it.
LaRocque, a true sniper, added two more goals in the third period his third and fourth of the season. LaRocques first goal in the third period handed Amarillo a 6-4 cushion and was a thing of beauty set up by a pass from Jeff Mancini.
Last year, was such a down year for us, said LaRocque, who leaped on the glass following his third goal doing his Spiderman impression. Starting off this way, we definitely have a little confidence under us. ... we cant be cocky. We havent had a very great record over the past four years. We just have to keep plugging away.
LaRocques third goal sent Tkachenko into a frenzy. The San Angelo goalie busted his stick, chunked the handle into the stands, but incredibly was not handed a penalty.
The Rattlers received another strong game in the net from Todd MacDonald, who improved to 6-1-1, making 24 saves.
MacDonalds best effort arrived early in the third period on a San Angelo power play with Amarillo clinging to a 5-4 lead. Despite being off balance, and almost turned around, MacDonald denied the Outlaws Daniel Chaput what looked like a sure goal with a glove save.
Also gaining praise from Abrams were defenseman Wilchynski, Empey, Tony White and Jay Pecora. Because of injuries, Amarillo only had the four healthy defensemen and the foursome played many more minutes than usual.
Wilchynski has three assists, and finished with a game-best plus three.
Im very excited about being in first place, Harris said. I spoke with Kevin a lot over the summer, and I saw the team he was putting together. It was a great mix between younger and older guys. He went after guys with good work ethic, good attitudes and the team is really jelling. Im looking forward to a Presidents Cup.

Jeremiah 8:18-9:1; Psalm 79:1-9; (Amos 8:4-7; Psalm 113;) 1 Timothy 2:1-7; Luke 16:1-13
Luke 16:1-13
One of the strengths of my Anabaptist tradition is that it takes the Bible and biblical authority seriously but also expects believers, particularly younger people, to argue and raise questions about the text. The parable of the shifty steward in Luke 16 was a delight to my friends and me in our coming-of-age years.
In these days of Enron, Martha Stewart and wars waged over phantom weapons, we know better than to defend dishonesty. Then why would Jesus offer a parable lauding it? Upon closer inspection, however, this parable is just one in a long line of stories that Jesus tells about how to handle wealth.

The paintings of Douglas Hofmann have been critically acclaimed for their glowing surfaces, sumptuous details and softly lighted forms.
Hofmann expertly combines his own methods of painting with the techniques of the old masters, which he learned from Joseph Sheppard at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he received his bachelor of fine arts degree.
The beautiful aura of light and atmosphere found in great Baroque paintings pervades the works of Hofmann. He gives meticulous attention to detail, and creates harmonious compositions with superbly balanced colours and shapes.

This problem is relevant to a wireless communication link between a he- licopter in air, and a submarine submerged in seawater. The helicopter is far from the sea surface, so that the incident wave emitted by the helicopter can be modelled at the sea surface as a plane wave. Assume that the x-y plane (z = 0) resides at the sea surface and that the incident wave produced by the helicopter travels in the z direction. The constitutive parameters of seawater are \(\epsilon r\) = 80, \(\mu r\) = 1, \(\sigma\) = 4 (S/m). If the incident electric eld at z = 0 is Ei = y*100 cos( \(2\pi*10^{6}t\) ) (V/m)
compute a) the reflection and transmission coefficients of the normal incidence phenomenon occurring at the sea surface, and b) the time-domain expressions for the electric and magnetic fields trans- mitted into the seawater (corresponding to z > 0). c) Use the result in part b to compute the electric and magnetic fields arriving at a depth of z = 2 m where the submarine is located. Provide also the expressions for: c1) the incident electric and magnetic fields for z < 0, c2) the reflected electric and magnetic fields for z < 0, and c3) the total (incident plus reflected) electric and magnetic fields for z < 0

Putin's cynical land-grabbing terrifies Russia's neighbours
Published 22/03/2014 | 02:30
THEY work in our coffee shops and restaurants, in construction and finance, in health and education, and in sundry other jobs. A growing number are self-employed and have started their own businesses. They comprise the bulk of those who stayed on living here after the great wave of immigration to Ireland had dried up following the collapse of the Celtic Tiger.
But for the thousands of Ireland-based Poles, Latvians and Lithuanians, these are worrying times. Back home, the Big Bad Boy on the block continues to flex his muscles. The steely gaze of Vladimir Putin is particularly chilling these days. If you happen to be from a country which borders Russia, expecting the worst but hoping for the best might, as always, be as good a policy as any. All too recent memories of Russian domination still casts a shadow on the lives of those from the Baltic states now making their way in Dublin and other locations around Ireland.
Some experts warn that Latvia could be next in the firing line. It is estimated that a third of its two million-plus population is Russian. Putin has made it clear that following the demise of the Soviet Union, he regards these people as exiles who must be returned to the care of the motherland. As he sees it, this is a wrong which must be righted. The big question is just how tough will he fight to get his way?
As many Latvians now resident here will confirm, relations with the Kremlin have been strained ever since their country regained its independence in 1991.
Russians living within Latvia complain that they have suffered discrimination regarding their language and citizenship rights. It is all very similar to the situation in Crimea, where Putin insists that he had to come to the aid of his fellow countrymen. He has consistently hinted in recent days that if any other Russians living abroad are not getting a fair deal, as he sees it, he will take action. If this is to mean hiking territory away from another country, so be it.
Understandably, the Latvian government, along with their Lithuanian and Polish neighbours, have got increasingly jumpy in recent days. NATO has sent more fighter aircraft to the region in a symbolic show of support. However, if the Crimean example is anything to go by, Putin is likely to operate slowly and stealthily, getting his agents to create discontent and agitation, to try and destabilise things on the ground.
The chess board which is the ethnic carve-up in this part of eastern Europe is ripe for such an approach. For example, wedged between Lithuania and Poland is the small Russian enclave of Kalingrad, home to thousands of Russians and the Kremlin's Baltic fleet. This could be fertile ground for creating trouble. As part of this policy of stirring things up, Russia has already accused the Polish government of being in cahoots with the Americans by allegedly supporting Ukrainian agitators who helped topple the Kiev government some weeks ago.
For the Poles, Latvians and Lithuanians, who as of now are making their future in Ireland, it is almost unimaginable that the brutality of Cold War politics which dominated the lives of their parents, is about to return. For are they not some of the so-called 'new Europeans', able to travel at will throughout the EU – perfectly entitled to chase work, money and personal fulfilment wherever they see fit? It is especially significant that German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who experienced life under Russian rule as a teenager, has changed her view of Putin. She had regarded him as "a man we could to business with'' by way of a softly-softly approach. Now she wonders "if he is in touch with reality'' and says he must be faced down.
If Putin is determined to continue his Crimean policy of sowing unrest abroad, he will surely avoid any direct conflict with Poland and its neighbours – that would push the world to the edge of a frightening military confrontation on par with the 1963 Cuban missile crisis. Now that we know his true colours, the likelihood is that instead he will employ 'dirty tricks' behind the scenes. But it's a high-stakes game, where one wrong move could set the tinder box alight. Those from the region who are now making their lives in this country can only look on from afar and wonder what the next move will be.
We in Ireland have long had to suffer the relative disadvantage of being a somewhat isolated island on the edge of Europe. We have only one near neighbour, with whom we have certainly had our quarrels. But unlike the countries that clutter Russia's western borders, we have the advantage of, in a sense, being geographically on our own. The Atlantic Ocean may determine our wayward weather and this winter it sent us some unwelcome flooding. But when looking at other troubled parts of the world, its vast vista of space can have its consolations.

I'm looking for a pair of new in-ear headphones for general use. Don't have a strict budget but I'd like to keep it under 100AUD. So far I've come across Audiofly AF56 and Shure SE215 but not sure which ones better for me, or if there's anything else to recommend. Rock's probably the main thing I listen to but I'm cool with a lot of genres, usually just on an android. Any ideas?
Looking for new in ear headphones..
If you're in Australia then why not Audiofly? Their sound is excellent for the money.
Mind you, the SE215 is good for rock too - the Shures have a thicker cable if you've generally had cable issues before.
Have you noticed anything irritating about your previous in-ears? This might offer a clue as to what you like within the sound.
Yea I wasn't sure how well they were compared to shure tho, and previously I've just had cheap earphones.
Currently I've got Sony MDR EX15, which sounds decent for the budget I had at the time, but I suppose I'd like something more durable and impressive. I got a bit of noise from the cable, which I'd like to minimize too.
Sounds like the Shures may be up your street as cable noise is reduced with the way they are worn - but the the Audioflys can be worn like that too.
Are there any others you recommend?

You could always go down bit in price - actually the AF33 is pretty amazing for the asking price.
I really like the Shure SE112 but that's just me, nice and comfy in more ways than one. This one's if you generally get bothered by too much high-freq energy in the mix.

|Former Celtics Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry meet New York media, talk about creating 'legacy here in Brooklyn'
|07.18.13 at 1:13 pm ET
Paul Pierce expressed a desire to create a "legacy here in Brooklyn" as he was introduced along with fellow former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry on Thursday at the Barclays Center.
The players, officially traded from the Celtics last week, were welcomed to New York and met the media and some fans alongside new Nets coach Jason Kidd and general manager Billy King. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov stopped by at the end of the press conference.
Pierce lamented having to leave Boston after spend the first 15 years of his NBA career with the Celtics, but he said he was pleased to have another opportunity to compete for a title.
"It's tough when you've been in a situation like me for 15 years and you come to an organization such as the Brooklyn Nets. But when you look at it, what they're trying to do here, win a championship, bring in the pieces necessary, new arena, new owners, new excitement — it really brings a little bit of excitement," he said.
"Obviously I would have loved to end my career in Boston. But that day and age is probably over with with a lot of players ending their careers in one city. When the trade happened, you felt excited, especially with Kevin and Jason coming along. That will make the situation — not only for me, but each other — more comfortable.
"The ultimate drive is winning a championship. Obviously Boston is going in a different direction. And at this point in our careers, we're championship-driven. We've made a lot of money in our careers, we've won a number of awards. I think at this point right now we're all about winning a championship. And Brooklyn, we feel, gives us the best opportunity."
Garnett waived his no-trade clause to accept the move, which he said he did only after he "sat down and let the dust sort of settle" so that he could make his decision "with a clear mind and a clear head of what I wanted to do."
"It's unfortunate we had to obviously move from Boston," Garnett said. "But I felt like both sides are going in different directions. For me, one of the major reasons I decided to come here was because the bones of this — I feel like adding what you see up here with the bones of what they have already, with Brook [Lopez] and Deron [Williams] and all the pieces they have here, Joe [Johnson] — I feel like Paul said, this gives us the best option to win again, to win it all. I'm embracing this opportunity, my family's embracing this opportunity. I'm looking forward to it."
|Paul Pierce can't say 'thank you' enough to Boston and its fans
|07.16.13 at 5:15 pm ET
Paul Pierce was always at the leading edge of social media among Boston athletes in his 15 years in Boston.
He showed again why on Tuesday, taking to Instagram, creating an account [paulpierce] with a similar handle to his Twitter account of @paulpierce34, to say thank you to the city of Boston and its fans for their support over his time with the Celtics.
He created a hastag of #THANKYOUBOSTON for those on Instagram wishing to surface all of the photos he has collected over the years.
His home page features a photo of him with a youngish Tom Brady (circa the 2001-02 season).
Pierce was formally traded on July 12 to Brooklyn along with fellow future hall of famer Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry for Kris Humphries, Keith Bogans, MarShon Brooks, Gerald Wallace and Kris Joseph and three first-round picks. In one of his first acts as a member of his new team, he wanted to show Tuesday that he hadn't forgotten all that was accomplished with the team that brought him into the NBA.
|Danny Ainge: Nets wanted 'Dream Team' at 'any cost'
|07.15.13 at 5:10 pm ET
WALTHAM — The way Danny Ainge looks at it, trading away future hall of famers in Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett along came down to taking advantage of a team desperate to build its own "Dream Team."
That's why, according to the Celtics president of basketball operations, he pulled the trigger earlier this month on a deal that sends the two stars to Brooklyn for Gerald Wallace, MarShon Brooks, Keith Bogans and Kris Humphries.
"Brooklyn showed a great deal of interest in putting the 'Dream Team' together, with expense not [a factor], at any cost it seemed like," Ainge told reporters at an introductory press conference Monday. "And the opportunity to acquire a lot of young assets and get younger and move onto a different phase presented itself. We felt like, where we were as a team, it was going to be very difficult to be a championship contender [had] we kept Paul and KG.
"The opportunity presented itself. It's a situation we needed to do. It's a situation that Brooklyn should do and could do, adding Paul and KG to a roster with already three All-Star type players. It's a pretty special opportunity for them, even though it's very expensive."
Jason Terry was also unloaded in the deal that reshapes the Celtics roster for years to come. Was there another team that challenged the Nets in acquiring the trio?
"You don't really want to trade to a division rival but no, there were no other teams that were even close," Ainge admitted. "As a matter of fact, it was interesting that the offers we got for Paul and KG were greater than we got for them in years past. It was an opportunity we felt we had to jump at."
Was it hard for Ainge to pull the trigger in the end?
"Absolutely," Ainge said when asked. "I think it pretty much goes without saying, and there'll be many opportunities to talk about their legacies, and I know this is not my decision alone to make, but if it were my decision alone, their numbers will be hanging from the rafters some day. Their legacy has been made here in Boston. They still have basketball left in them but at the same time, we're going to want to beat them. But those guys were great for the city of Boston, great for the Boston Celtics franchise and great for all of us who were associated with them.
"But this is a good deal for us. We're excited about the players we're getting and we're excited about the opportunity for us to start fresh and start over, not completely over because we have a lot of good players returning and a lot of good players acquired in teh trade but start over in terms of a new coaching staff, new players and a new identity."
A fifth player the Celtics received in the deal – Kris Joseph – was waived on Monday.
|Celtics announce Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett trade
|07.12.13 at 3:03 pm ET
The Celtics officially announced the trade of superstars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets.
The only surprise is forward D.J. White's inclusion in the deal that will send Pierce, Garnett and Jason Terry to Brooklyn. White signed a $1.03 million non-guaranteed deal for 2013-14.
Meanwhile, Kris Humphries ($12 million) officially becomes the highest-paid Celtic, joining Gerald Wallace, Keith Bogans, MarShon Brooks and Kris Joseph in Boston. More importantly, the C's acquired Brooklyn's first-round draft picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018 as well as the option to swap No. 1 picks with the Nets in the 2017 draft.
'We would like to thank Paul, Kevin, and Jason for everything that they have done for this franchise," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a press release. "We would not have won Banner 17 without Paul and Kevin and they will go down amongst the all-time great players to have ever worn a Celtics uniform. At the same time we are excited to welcome Gerald, Kris, Keith, MarShon and Kris to the Celtics family. They bring a wealth of talent, experience, depth, and flexibility to our team.'
Excited, huh?
'We are really excited to welcome Gerald, Kris, Keith, MarShon and Kris to the Celtics organization,' Celtics coach Brad Stevens added in the release. 'They collectively bring a great deal of versatility, unique skill sets and production to our roster. I cannot wait to get to work with them.'
Excited, I guess.
Believe it or not, the Nets were pretty excited themselves about landing Pierce, Garnett and Terry.
'Today, the basketball gods smiled on the Nets," Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said in a separate press release. "With the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, we have achieved a great balance on our roster between veteran stars and young talents. This team will be dazzling to watch, and tough to compete against."
'We are excited to welcome Kevin, Paul and Jason to Brooklyn' added Brooklyn GM Billy King. 'All three players have championship pedigree and posses the veteran qualities that will make us a stronger team.'
|Celtics issue 'thank you' to Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett
|at 8:28 am ET
On the day the trade becomes official, the Celtics issued a message to departed superstars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett on both the team's social media accounts and in an ad in The Boston Globe.
"To two of the greatest Celtics legends of all-time: Thank you. You will always be Celtics."
The statement is accompanied by a photoshopped image of KG hoisting the 2008 NBA championship trophy and Pierce clutching his Finals MVP award in front of the Garden parquet and banner-filled rafters. The caption:
Apparently, they forgot: "FOR THREE FIRST-ROUND PICKS," since it was the team's decision to trade them.
Yup, it's official, folks. The trade is scheduled to be finalized on Friday, shipping Jason Terry along with the two Celtics greats to Brooklyn in exchange for Nets Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Keith Bogans and Kris Joseph as well as Brooklyn's first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

|Larry Bird: 'Believe me, Danny Ainge knows what he's doing'
|07.08.13 at 6:29 pm ET
One of the greatest Celtics in franchise history believes the team's intensely loyal fan base should trust in Danny Ainge.
Larry Bird, speaking to reporters Monday at the Orlando summer league games, said he understands why his former teammate and current president of basketball operations of the Celtics traded heart-and-soul pieces Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett last week to the Brooklyn Nets.
"Believe me, Danny Ainge knows what he's doing," Bird said. "He won a championship. I never doubt Danny Ainge. Danny does a good job. You know, you do get older. You can't beat Father Time, and I'm sure things will work out."
Pierce will be 36 next season while Garnett will be 37 when he suits up with Brooklyn. Both, Bird said Monday can be productive with the Nets.
"I think they've both been pretty healthy throughout their careers," Bird said Monday. "They haven't had the major, major injuries that I had. I think they got plenty left. The way they will be coached and the bench that they have. Yeah — they'll pick their spots, but when the time comes, they'll be there."
Bird, who serves as Ainge's counterpart with the Pacers, acknowledged it's disappointing to see Pierce, the second-leading scorer in Celtics franchise history, not be able to do what he did and finish his career playing only for the Celtics.
"I would have loved to see it," Bird said. "I got a lot of respect for Paul and what he has accomplished. But who says he's not going to play another four years? It's a tough situation."
Pierce, who turns 36 Oct. 13, averaged 18.6 points per game this past season and, with 24,021 points, trails only John Havlicek on Boston's all-time scoring list.
"[Pierce] is one of the better ones to ever come through there, he really is," Bird insisted.
ESPN/ABC basketball analyst Jeff Van Gundy joined Dennis & Callahan on Monday morning to discuss the Celtics' offseason maneuverings.
The C's pulled off a surprise move last week when they named Butler's Brad Stevens their new coach.
"I think he's a great, great basketball coach," Van Gundy said. "I don't think there will be too big an adjustment — or too big of an adjustment basketball-wise. This guy is really, really smart. I think their players will respect his confidence, his sincerity, his reliability and his trustworthiness. He's a quality person and coach.
"Now, the difference is, you're going to lose some, and maybe a lot, depending on the construction of the roster. That, coupled with the length of a season, is always a challenge in the NBA when you go through a rebuilding situation. But I think his demeanor and his poise, along with his contract, will serve him well through the rebuilding situation."
Added Van Gundy: "I honestly think that this is not a risk. People say it's a risk. I don't think it's a risk for anybody. When Brad Stevens is done with the Celtics in six years, 10 years, 15 years, he can always go back and get a great, great college job. And for the Celtics, it's not a risk because this guy's a great person and a great basketball coach. How they do record-wise over his tenure there is going to be not based on his coaching ability. His coaching ability will be fine. It's going to be their roster. Can they get him a good enough roster to work with and win with? If they do, they'll win there."
Asked if he or his brother Stan were contacted about the Celtics' opening, Van Gundy said: "I have no idea about my brother. I know I wasn't. Hey, listen, I have such respect for the Celtics that anybody would be interested if the Celtics call. They just have a great, obviously, history, they have great ownership, they have great management. So, anybody would be interested."
As the Celtics head into a rebuilding period, Van Gundy warned that people need to avoid becoming impatient as the long season wears on.
"There's very few people — teams, fan bases, organizations, coaches, players — who really have the stomach for a long rebuild," he said. "It sounds good in theory. But Boston was tiring of rebuilding until Danny Ainge pulled off the Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett trades. No one likes losing 18 straight games. This is where I thought Doc Rivers took unnecessary criticism. That he didn't want to go through a long rebuild? He'd already done that. He'd already gone through that purgatory time in Boston. So, that he wouldn't want to redo it again in Boston? I completely understand.
"There's got to be a stomach for this rebuilding. And it really starts with the media, the management, the ownership. Because they're so used to winning, that this may be a period of mediocrity. It may be that 41-40 record last year, that may be the norm. Or maybe they get a few more wins or maybe they get a few less wins, or maybe a lot less wins. You can't just believe that in theory. You've got to be able to live through the dreary nights that are coming to the Boston Garden. And accept that this is part of the NBA, that you can't stay great forever.
"I think that's going to be the toughest adjustment for everybody. They're coming off such a great period of winning, where they had the ultimate competitors in Garnett and [Paul] Pierce. So, to see them go, to see them go into the Eastern Conference. The whole thing is going to be difficult. And that's where I think Brad's demeanor will really help him. He'll focus on trying to get better every day, incremental improvement. And if he can do that, I think he will have fulfilled his obligation to the Celtics very, very well."

Product Questions
The valance I am taking off is standard original and is 61" 1/16 wide at its widest point on top. Can you make sure it is the same width? How does this compare to part # V2RB @ $42.99? Quality and fitment? In stock?
The difference between this one and V2RB is the cutouts for dual exhausts that is part of the V2RB product. This one is also a name brand (Dynacorn), so quality is going to be a bit better. Each is going to fit well on a 67-68, though this one won't fit on a GT. Stock status is shown below the "add to cart" button, and is updated in real time, which beats anything I'd tell you, since that could be out of date very quickly.

Martin Blank (Earth-616)
this wiki
Born a mutant with an ape-like build[1] and agility, The Gibbon later joined a circus where he excelled as an acrobat. His powers were later enhanced by a potion given to him by Kraven the Hunter to "Unleash the Beast within". Martin Blank began his career as a friend of Spider-Man's. He even wanted to be his partner, but Spider-Man laughed at him. Sick of being seen as a freak, Martin could no longer endure further ridicule and lashed out. He then caught the eye of Kraven the Hunter who enhanced the Gibbon's powers with an herb broth, also giving him a great animal rage. After being defeated by Spider-Man, Martin dropped out of sight.[2]
Later, Gibbon sought revenge on Spider-Man, trying to prove himself as good as his foe. He was caught in the middle of a fight with Spider-Man and the Beetle. Eventually Gibbon helped Spider-Man by punching out the Beetle. Gibbon later joined up with other "has-beens" the Kangaroo, Grizzly and The Spot to form the Spider-Man Revenge Squad (also known as the Legion Of Losers).
This team fell apart when Spider-Man carted the Spot and the Kangaroo to jail for bank robbery. He and the Grizzly later attempted to go hero, helping Spider-Man thwart a bank robbery by the White Rabbit and eventually getting an action figure deal.
The Gibbon retained his powers after the Decimation.[3]
Civil War
During the Civil War, Stilt-Man was killed by the Punisher. Gibbon attended his funeral along with many others criminals, and they were all drugged by the Punisher, using the guise of a bartender, who then made the bar explode.[4]
He was listed as a potential recruit for the Initiative.[5]
De-figured and looking almost as a normal human, Gibbon married the now-blind widow of Stilt-Man, Princess Python, and participated on a regular basis at the Guild of Survivors meetings, for those who escaped from the bombed-bar. He tried to take revenge on Castle, but ultimately gave up.[6]
He volunteered to undergo scientific experimentation at State University. He met Doctor Fiona Fitzhugh, an independent research whiz who put the Gibbon through a battery of tests in order to develop a better understanding of his mutation. An accident in the laboratory opened up a dimensional rift, and Fitzhugh and he were transported to a world dominated by apes. This world was very similar to Earth and included simian counterparts to known heroes such as the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.[7]
Powers and Abilities
|Power Grid [9]
|Energy Projection
|Fighting Skills
Primate Physiology: He has a gibbon-like appearance. He has superhuman strength, speed, agility, dexterity, reflexes, coordination, balance, and endurance. His strength is enough to defeat Spider-Man and he's dexterous enough to jump and climb the walls of skyscrapers with no effort at all. For instance, he could jump out from a helicopter, catch on to a wall, jump away at Spider-Man and knock him down. When he first appeared he had a very human appearance and wore a gibbon suit, but later on, he gained a more monkey-like appearance and now looks like a man-sized gibbon.

MANILA — Philippine President Benigno Aquino III canceled a trip to a Chinese trade fair after Beijing demanded that he first withdraw a legal complaint over disputed territories in the South China Sea, Filipino officials said Monday.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and two other diplomats relayed conditions for Aquino to attend the annual China-ASEAN Expo, which opens Tuesday in the southern city of Nanning, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez told a news conference.
Hernandez declined to detail the conditions, but said these were "absolutely inimical to our national interest." The Chinese side asked that the conditions not be publicly disclosed, he said. They were discussed by Wang and Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario in Beijing on Wednesday.
Because of the conditions, Aquino decided to call off his publicly announced trip to the trade fair, Hernandez said, adding the Philippines will instead send a delegation headed by its trade secretary.
"The president stood firm in the defense of the country's national interest," Hernandez said.
Two Philippine officials told The Associated Press that China wanted Manila to withdraw a U.N. arbitration case over disputed islands in the South China Sea. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
Chinese officials have also cited a new standoff between China and the Philippines over the Second Thomas Shoal, which is called Ayungin Shoal by Filipinos and Ren'ai Reef by the Chinese, the Philippine officials said.
China has asked Manila to remove a navy ship that ran aground on the shoal years ago, but the Philippine officials said the area was well within their territorial waters.
China was concerned that allowing Aquino to visit after the Philippines brought its territorial disputes to U.N. arbitration in January — which Beijing calls an "unfriendly act" — may not be welcomed by the Chinese public and media, the officials said.
Asked to comment Monday, Chinese Embassy spokesman Zhang Hua did not react to their statements, but urged the Philippines to work with China "to overcome difficulties and disturbances and make real efforts to get the China-Philippine relationship" back on track.
He said China welcomes Southeast Asian delegations, including from the Philippines, to the trade expo.
The Philippines is this year's "country of honor" at the trade fair, which takes place in China every year to highlight trade exchanges between Beijing and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The prime ministers of China allies Cambodia and Laos, along with those of Thailand and Vietnam have confirmed their attendance to the trade expo, which was first held in 2004 to promote the China-ASEAN free-trade area. Myanmar, another China ally, will send its vice president, Philippine officials said.
The Philippines and China have been embroiled in increasingly antagonistic territorial disputes. Last year, China seized a shoal near the northwestern coast of the Philippines, and this year it demanded that the Philippine navy withdraw from Second Thomas Shoal farther south.
The Philippines incensed China in January by challenging Beijing's massive territorial claims in the strategic South China Sea before a U.N. arbitration tribunal, which has convened to look into Manila's complaint despite China's stance to ignore the move.
China claims virtually the entire South China Sea and its island groups on historical grounds. The Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan have rejected that, sparking fears the disputes might spark Asia's next major armed conflict.
If the President of the Philippines ( country of honor at this Asean-China fair and business celebration ) is being blackmailed, what is going to stop China from harassing other members if they don't like something said or actions taken against their well know aggressions? It's a shame that Asean members don't just send their lowest delegations to China as a diplomatic slap in Chinese arrogant face. What a lawless and criminal Chinese government that people have to deal with!
China's claim South China Sea…..

USF's Rudd Honored by AAC
TAMPA, FEB. 10, 2014?? Senior forward Victor Rudd averaged 20.5 points and 8.5 rebounds over two games last week and was named to the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll on Monday.
It was the fourth honor for the Los Angeles native who was a preseason second team all-conference selection before the season began.
Rudd scored a season-high 25 points, including eight of USF?s nine in overtime, to lead the Bulls to a 79-78 win at UCF on Wednesday. He was 11-of-19 from the field and brought down 10 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season.
Rudd then scored 15 points and had seven rebounds in USF?s 79-69 loss to Rutgers on Saturday. Two of his 15 points came on a ferocious one-handed dunk which was Saturday?s SportsCenter No. 1 play.
Rudd was joined on the team with TaShawn Thomas (Houston), Joe Jackson (Memphis), Kadeem Jack (Rutgers) and Nic Moore (SMU). Cincinnati?s Sean Kilpatrick was the player of the week and Ben Moore of SMU earned rookie of the week honors.
USF (12-12, 3-8) will next be in action on Wednesday when it plays at No. 24 UConn (18-5, 6-4) at 7 p.m. in a game televised by ESPN2.

"It took a lot of work to do so I am very happy that I was able to accomplish this," said Smith.
Striving for the best in all areas of school has been a goal of Shaun's for a long time, but it has not came easy.
"Lots of hard work, lots of dedication to my school work, lots of hours spent studying and doing homework," said Smith.

"After high school I'm going to attend Chaminade University in Honolulu," said Smith.
There he'll be studying criminology, which is always what he wanted to do from a very early age

Shaun said he'll miss his family and soon to be Clarkston High School Alums he also says that the move will bring lots of personal growth.
"I thought it would be a great experience for me to leave, go out, and do things on my own," said Smith.
