Sparks take sparkle away from Stars
LOS ANGELES Nneka Ogwumike scored 16 points, Candace Parker and Kristi Toliver added 13 points and six assists apiece, and the Sparks routed the San Antonio Silver Stars, 84-48, on Saturday night.
Jantel Lavender scored 14 points in a reserve role and Ogwumike also had seven rebounds for the Sparks (3-2), who bounced back from a 16-point loss Friday night in Phoenix. The Sparks allowed 49 second-half points in that game but held San Antonio to 20 after the break one night later.
Danielle Adams had 12 points, and Shenise Johnson added 11 for the Silver Stars (2-4), who are seeking their first road victory after going winless on a three-game trip.
San Antonio played without leading rebounder Jayne Appel. The Silver Stars also are without Becky Hammon until July because of a broken finger, and Sophia Young was lost for the year because of an ACL tear during the offseason.
The Sparks blew the game open in the third quarter, outscoring San Antonio 26-8.
Parker scored nine in the third, including consecutive baskets on a 3-pointer and a runner in the paint while being fouled. She converted a finger roll for a 55-34 lead and Toliver sank a jumper to push it to 61-36 entering the fourth.

Lesson Plan
Activity Plan: Folktale Fun
See children's imaginations soar as they invent their own folktales!
- Grades: PreK–K
Ready-To-Use Teaching Idea: Literacy
- chart paper
- drawing paper
- markers and crayons
- folktale books, such as Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears retold by Verna Aardema or Tikki Tikki Tembo retold by Arlene Mosel
Objective: Children will discuss the concept of a folktale and create their own folktale to develop creative-thinking, language, and writing skills.
- Talk to children about folktales. Explain that a folktale is a story that often teaches an important lesson or explains how something came to be.
- Share folktale books with children. Ask them to identify the main characters, the main idea of the story, and to describe what they learned. Does the story remind them of another story they have heard or an experience that they may have had in their own life?
- Invite the class to create a folktale. Prepare a piece of chart paper to record different types of topics the children could write about. Share a few ideas with children, such as: Why Rabbits Have Big Ears, Where the Days Go, Why the Moon Comes Out at Night, Why Roosters Crow, or Where Rainbows Come From. Brainstorm other ideas to add to the list.
- As a group, create the story. Encourage everyone to participate. Record the folktale on chart paper.
- After the group has created the folktale, provide children with sheets of manila construction paper, crayons, and markers. Ask each child to draw a particular portion of the class folktale. Print the appropriate story dictations under the drawings. When they are finished, encourage the group to create a cover page for their folktale.
- Place the class folktale book in the classroom library so children can continue to reread it. Remember to share the book with family members who come by the classroom. Keep writing materials available and topics posted so children can continue to develop their folktale writing skills.
Curriculum Connection: DRAMATIC PLAY
Dramatize a Folktale: Ask children to work in small groups to retell or dramatize a folktale. Suggest that they choose a favorite folktale or the folktale that they have written. Encourage them to use props such as puppets, dolls, and dress-up clothes, or use art materials to create their own puppets, costumes, or props.

In this movie, we're going to break the rules a little bit, and rather than using the Detail panel in order to reduce noise or sharpen, we're actually going to use this panel to come up with a technique which will give us really nice skin softening. Well, here is what we are going to do. Let's go ahead and select the Detail panel by clicking on the Tab here, or by pressing the shortcut. That's Command+Option+3 if you're on a Mac; on Windows, that's Ctrl+Alt+3. Next, what I want to do is zoom in on this image and take a look at some of the detail we have in the skin.
We can zoom in on this photo to 100% by simply double-clicking on the Zoom tool. Next, press the Spacebar key, and click and drag to reposition this. Now this image looks really good, the sharpness and detail is really nice. But let's say we just want to reduce the skin texture and some of the variance there just in order to create a little bit of an interesting skin softening effect. Well, what we can do is we can actually use our Noise Reduction controls in order to do this. Let me show you what I mean. Well, here I am going to go ahead and increase the Luminance amount of my Noise Reduction.
Now as I do that, you can see that the image is really becoming soft. Now, if I decrease the Detail here, we're seeing that we're really losing the detail. This is all kind of blending together quite nicely. Now in this case, I want to bring up a little bit of contrast just so I have that dimension. All right! Well you may be thinking, okay Chris, this is crazy. The eye looks horrible. We've lost all the sharpness there. Well yeah, I'm aware of that, but stick with me. See me through on this one, because I think you'll really benefit from this technique. Next, we're going to increase our color Noise Reduction.
That's going to decrease all the variety in the skin tones there and really smooth those out. Using this control alone can just help out your images by leaps and bounds, especially in regards the skin. Well now that we've done all of this, I am going to go ahead and also reduce my Detail amount here on the Sharpening and lower the Radius. I just want really nice soft and smooth skin. Next, we're going to open the image in Photoshop, so we'll click Open Image. This will then open that file inside of Photoshop with those settings that we dialed in, in the Detail panel.
The next step that we need to take is to go back to Adobe Bridge, re-open this JPEG inside of Camera Raw. Let's do so by pressing Command on Mac, Ctrl on Windows, then pressing the R key to open this up in Camera Raw. Let's go back to the 100% zoom rate by double-clicking the Zoom tool, press the Spacebar key to click and drag. Next what we are going to do is we are going to click on the Detail panel, and here what I want to do is I want to reset all of my Noise Reduction controls. I can do so by double-clicking on the tabs here to take my Luminance and my Color Noise Reduction back to default 0.
Next, I am going to go ahead and bring up a little bit of sharpening here. I want to have some nice details here, because I want to have a nice, crisp, sharp eye. Also, you may want to bring in some other details as well. So here what we're doing is we're processing this image in two different ways. One set of controls or settings here for the skin, another for that eye. I am just going to go ahead and bring this up. I want to have a lot of nice really good detail there in the eye. Next, let's click Open Image to open this image up inside of Photoshop.
This particular technique is actually quite powerful. What we're doing conceptually is we're creating two versions of the same image, then in Photoshop what we can do is combine these two images together. Let me show you what I mean. We'll go ahead and press the V key to select the Move tool. Next, I am going to click on the image that's really nice and sharp. I'll hold down the Shift key, and I'll click and drag this to the image that's really soft. Next thing we are going to do is go ahead and press F to go to Full Screen View mode, and then I'll zoom in on the photograph by pressing Command or Ctrl+Plus.
I am going to close this little Info panel here because we don't need that. Well now that I've zoomed in on this image, here I can see I have some nice detail in the eyes. The skin just has a little bit too much variation. I want to soften it up. All that we need to do to soften the skin is to add a layer mask. We'll do so by simply clicking on the Add Layer Mask icon over here Layers panel. Next, we'll grab our Brush, and we'll select Black as a color in our foreground color there, and then we'll lower our Opacity a little bit, and then let's decrease that Brush Size.
That's a little bit too big. We want a Brush size that's pretty big. We also want 0 Hardness, but not too big. That looks good. Then from here, all that I am going to do is go ahead and start to paint in this softening effect. You can see that already simply by adding that little bit of softening on the cheek, the image is looking so much better. I'll make my Brush a little bit smaller. I'll press the 3 key, takes the Opacity to 30% here, and then I am just going to go ahead and paint over this area of the skin. And I am just going to be really careful to bring in some of the softening. Keep in mind that's not just softening.
It's also reducing the variance in the color of the skins. This is just going to be a great way to make the skin look really nice. In this case, I'm painting with a real low opacity, just so I can build this effect up little by little here. I'll go ahead and paint across the forehead. If I ever want to increase my opacity, I'll just crank that up and then go ahead and paint over some of those areas that you know will benefit from this particular softening. Well, so far, so good. The image looks amazing, and that's the trick with this is there's lots of different ways to soften skin.
This particular technique does just such a good job because we're working with those raw controls which are really quite powerful and give us this nice look here, and it also didn't take us a lot of effort to dial in this particular effect. Well, I am going to press the 6 key, take my Opacity to 60%, just apply this a little bit stronger in a couple of areas where I am seeing some of these larger variations there. Next, I'll zoom out a bit. If I soften the face, I need to soften the skin here as well. So I'll go ahead and paint over this area of the image, and also this part of the arm.
I am changing my Brush Size by pressing the Left Bracket key to make it smaller, or the Right Bracket key to make it bigger. Well now let's zoom back in on the photograph, and I'll zoom way in so we can actually see these nice details here. Let's click on our before and after, and we can actually do so hereby Shift+Clicking on our mask. If you hold down the Shift key and click on this mask, it will disable this view temporarily. So here we have our before. Click again. There we have our after. Really nice, and really natural looking, skin softening.
Let me zoom in even further so you can see that. Again, before, and then after. I'll zoom in even further, and we have that before and then after. Now, the great thing about this technique is we can then take advantage of the many different things we can do with this mask right inside of Photoshop. Let me show you what I mean. Well, I can go to the Mask panel. Here I can soften the edges of my mask by simply increasing this Feather amount. This can give me a little bit more of a transitional edge in regards the areas that I painted on the photograph.
I can also dial in the Density of the mask. If I take this all the way down to 0, well that's no softening at all. Well then I can slowly bring this up and find just the right amount of skin softening, because certain images will benefit from a bit more softening, while other images you might want to go for something that's just really, really subtle, really clean looking, like say, a percentage at 65 here. Well, now when I Shift+Click that mask, we can see our before and then after, just a really nice subtle softening there in the photograph.
Well, that wraps up our look, and how we can use the Detail panel in an unorthodox way in order to come up with some really stunning results in regards to skin smoothing.

The New York Giants' lone Pro Bowl representative, rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., will play Sunday night on a team full of Dallas Cowboys.
Beckham was the No. 4 overall selection in Wednesday night's Pro Bowl draft -- the second pick of the team selected by former Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin. Irvin took Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo with his first pick after designating Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray one of his captains a day earlier. Later, he picked Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and rookie guard Zack Martin.
Team Irvin will be coached by Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, who'll be familiar with his roster. The only Cowboy selected by Team Cris Carter was long-snapper L.P. Ladouceur.
Beckham is (obviously) playing in his first Pro Bowl after a dazzling rookie season in which he missed the first four games due to a hamstring injury but still managed to catch 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Pro Bowl is at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Burlington mayor calls for gun controlMarch 11,2013BURLINGTON — Burlington's mayor is speaking out in a national public service announcement calling for more gun control measures.
Miro Weinberger is one of 30 U.S. mayors to appear in the ad released Thursday by Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The ad features the mayors calling on Congress to pass laws to require background checks on gun sales, limit military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and make gun trafficking a federal crime.
"No more neighborhoods in mourning," Weinberger says in his brief appearance in the ad.

Mercyhurst men's soccer team reaches PSAC title match
Danny Deakin and Jack Watson each scored one goal and assisted on another Friday to power 13th-ranked Mercyhurst to a 3-0 blanking of West Chester in the semifinals of the PSAC Tournament on Friday at the Mercyhurst Soccer Field.
The win sets up a rematch in today's 1 p.m. tournament championship game as the Lakers (15-4-0) will look to make it two straight title victories over 24th-ranked Slippery Rock.
A year ago, Mercyhurst hosted The Rock in the championship match and came away with a 1-0 win.
Deakin scored his 13th goal of the season and fourth game-winner in the 10th minute of play Friday. Dougherty's goal, his first of the season, came in the 64th minute, and Watson netted his sixth goal 16 minutes later to complete the scoring.
Goalkeeper Mikko Sarkkinen stopped five shots to pick up his third shutout of the season and improve to 8-3-0 in net. The Lakers outshot the Rams 22-8 en route to their seventh shutout of the season.
In Friday's other semifinal game, Slippery Rock and Millersville played to a 0-0 tie, but The Rock prevailed on penalty kicks 4-3 to advance to today's championship match.
Today will mark the second meeting between Mercyhurst and Slippery Rock this season. The Lakers claimed a 2-1 victory over The Rock on Oct. 19.
- West Chester 3, Gannon 0: At California, Pa., Carly Yost scored one goal and assisted on another Friday to lead West Chester to a victory over Gannon (10-8-1) in the PSAC Tournament semifinals.
The win vaults the Rams (13-6-0) into today's 1 p.m. tournament championship match against host and top-seeded California (Pa.).
Gannon reached the PSAC Final Four for the first time.
Ashley Saylor put West Chester out in front 1-0 in the game's 19th minute, converting a rebound after a shot by Lexi Lentz was blocked.
Yost, West Chester's leading scorer, added a second goal 20 minutes later after a shot by Dana Hunt deflected off the goal post.
Scarlett Walsh completed the scoring with just 9 minutes remaining in the match, taking a cross from Yost and beating Gannon goalkeeper Sarah Geffel to the far post.
West Chester's Alex Srolis earned the shutout, stopping three shots.
The Knights' Mani Brueckner, the PSAC's offensive player of the year for the second straight season and Gannon's leading scorer with 10 goals, was held to just one shot.
-- from staff reports
Gannon will learn Monday if it receives a bid to the NCAA Atlantic Regional tournament, set for next weekend. Gannon was ranked eighth in the most recent rankings, but that did not include its 1-0 win over Slippery Rock in the PSAC Tournament opener.

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)
Crisply executed dialogue elevates 'Understudy'
"All I see are movie stars movie stars movie stars," laments Harry, the journeyman actor in Theresa Rebeck's rollicking "The Understudy," now on stage in a fun Renaissance Theaterworks production that opened Saturday night. "It's like a disease," Harry continues. Or "maybe more like 'pathology.' Or 'ongoing cultural disaster,'" he concludes.
All true enough, if one is keeping track of the numerous Hollywood stars making fools of themselves on Broadway. But as Rebeck's title suggests, Harry is now understudying one of them: an action-movie stud named Jake, himself improbably understudying an even more famous Hollywood co-star. »Read Full Article

David Karp is a fruit researcher who writes the Market Watch column for The Los Angeles Times. He describes various stone fruit hybrids, like the pluot. The Flavor King Pluot is the most common variety, which is available at Southern California farmers markets. David shared a "Plerry" with Laura Avery - it's part plum, part cherry. These fruit hybrids are not a result of genetic engineering.
Nancy Zaslavsky specializes in Mexican food. She leads cooking tours to Oaxaca (her next one is during Day of the Dead, October 27-November 2). She uses ingredients from the Farmers Market to make barbacoa, including avocado leaves and epazote from Coleman Family Farms. Jimenez Farms sells lamb. The dish is traditionally cooked in a pit, underground. Nancy uses a Dutch oven.
6-8 lbs bone-in lamb shoulder in large chunks (or substitute
young goat)
10 dried guajillo chiles
2 to 3 dozen avocado leaves, with strong anise perfume as from Coleman Farm
1 white onion
1 head garlic cloves
2 tsps sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
¼ tsp ground cloves
2 sprigs fresh epazote from Coleman Farm
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano (McCormack brand, or from any Mexican market)
Preheat an oven to 350˚
1. Cut the chile stems off, slit open and scrape out the seeds. Toast the chiles by pressing flat with a spatula on a griddle or in a skillet until the color changes, a minute on each side. Transfer the chiles to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and soak 20 minutes until the chiles are soft.
2. Toast the avocado leaves. Set aside.
3. Quarter the unpeeled onion and toast along with the unpeeled garlic cloves until they have black spots all over. Peel the onion and garlic and put into a blender or processor.
4. Drain the chiles and add them to the blender with 4 broken-up toasted avocado leaves, salt, pepper and cloves. Add about one cup cool water. Purée as smoothly as possible. Press the sauce through a strainer into a bowl.
5. Arrange half the toasted avocado leaves in the bottom of a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot. Rub the chile mixture all over the lamb and place the meat on the leaves. Lay epazote sprigs across the meat. Sprinkle with oregano. Scatter the remaining avocado leaves on top and pour 8 cups water around. Cover with a tight-fitting lid.
6. Bake 5 to 6 hours at 350˚ until the meat falls off the bones. Serve shredded or in large chunks, and sprinkle with sea salt. Skim the broth of fat and ladle into mugs to drink along with the meat. Enjoy barbacoa with warm corn tortillas and a spicy table salsa.

Jet Tila owns Wasuzu in Las Vegas, where he is currently making an authentic version of Pad Thai - a dish he's been angry about lately. In Thailand, it's made with tamarind and sriracha.Chef Jet Tila's Pad Thai
Active Work time is 20 minutes. Total preparation time is 40 minutes.
8 Shrimp, peeled and cleaned
3-4 Green onions cut into 2-inch bias strips
1/4 cup Chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
1 cup Bean sprouts
Soak noodles in warm water to cover 1 hour.
In a small bowl, stir together fish sauce, tamarind paste, limejuice, vinegar, Sriracha sauce and sugar. Set aside.
Heat wok over high heat. Add oil and coat pan completely. When pan starts to smoke, add garlic and stir 5 seconds. Add turnip, dried shrimp and tofu and stir-fry until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken pieces and stir-fry until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes.
Push ingredients in wok to side and let oil settle in center of pan. Crack eggs into pan, making sure to break yolks. Lightly scramble until half-cooked, about 30 seconds. Combine with remaining cooked ingredients in pan.
Add shrimp and cook until chicken and shrimp are medium done, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups drained noodles and cook for about 2-3 minutes until soft. Add reserved sauce mixture and paprika and fold together until paprika evenly colors noodles and all liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Place green onions in center of noodles, and then spoon some noodles over green onions to cover and let steam 30 seconds. Stir in 3 tablespoons peanuts. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with bean sprouts and remaining peanuts.

Tasting Table's Recipe for Cold Brewed Iced Coffee

2. Line a coffee dripper or fine-mesh strainer with a coffee filter and place over a pitcher. Slowly strain about half of the coffee. Replace the filter with a new one and repeat with the remaining coffee.
3. Pour the coffee over ice and dilute to taste with water and/ or milk.

Russ Parsons is the food editor for The Los Angeles Times. Classic gazpacho is made by blending bread, olive oil, tomatoes, and garlic. Russ likes to add cucumbers.
Andalusian Garden Gazpacho
4 slices bread, crusts removed (4 ounces), plus 2 slices bread, diced and fried in a little olive oil (for garnish), divided
11/2 cups cold water, plus extra to soak the bread, divided
5 tomatoes (about 2 pounds), plus 1 small tomato, finely chopped (for garnish), divided
2 cloves garlic
Small piece of green bell pepper, plus extra finely chopped green pepper (for garnish), divided
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 tsps salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped, for garnish
1 small white onion, finely chopped, for garnish
1. Break the 4 slices crustless bread into chunks and soak it in water to cover until softened.
2. Remove cores from the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into chunks and puree in a blender or food processor. Press the juice and pulp through a sieve, discarding the bits of skin and seeds.
3. Squeeze the water from the bread and place it in a blender or food processor with the garlic. Blend until smooth.
4. Add the tomato pulp, green pepper, cumin and salt. With the blender running, add the oil in a slow stream. Blend in the vinegar and some of the 11/2 cups cold water.
5. Place the gazpacho in a pitcher and add the remaining water. This makes about 41/2 cups gazpacho. Serve immediately or chill until serving time.
6. To serve, pour the gazpacho into individual bowls. Place each of the garnishes (finely chopped green pepper, cucumber, onion, tomato and crisp bread) in small bowls. Pass the garnishes with the gazpacho and allow guests to serve themselves.

Loews Hotels Assumes Management of The Madison Hotel in Washington
April 4, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
One of our favorite DC establishments-- the landmark hotel The Madison-- has been acquired by Loews Hotels, and we're excitedly awaiting the refurbishment of the brand new Madison, A Loews Hotel. The Madison has long radiated classic, refined elegance-- its Georgian, Federal and American Empire furnishings and superb service symbols of a bygone era. After all, this is the hotel that has hosted every President since John F. Kennedy, as well as international heads of state and business leaders. And it's got a killer location. The Madison will no doubt be made even more lavish with Loews trademark touches. Plans are in the works for new flat screen TVs, luxurious terry products, and signature suites.

MotorCity Mania: the Dubai Autodrome and Business Park
Dubai's got it all. But the mouth-dropping reflex still hasn't been tempered with each new juicy detail I learn about Dubai's growth. (With the progression of developments from the initial underwater restaurant, the globe's unique seven-star hotel, the private manmade islands of The World, and indoor skiing facility at the SnowDome.) Instead, I marvel at the UAE's new craze for speed: the Ferrari theme park slated for Abu Dhabi and the MotorCity Autodrome and Business Park in Dubai. MotorCity is a fully-integrated auto/motor sports facility with racing track, humongous grandstand, surrounding office park with conference facilities, entertainment, dining and retail complex, and-- get this!-- a "destination development" for upscale villas in a residential community called UPTOWN MotorCity. How rad.
Announcing the New Barcelo Karmina Palace Hotel, Manzanillo, Mexico
Palma de Mallorca-based Barcelo Hotels and Resorts recently acquired the five-star Karmina Palace Hotel along Mexico's Pacific Coast near Manzanillo. The 324 all-suite, all-inclusive resort has long been known as a world-class, premium destination, and the new Barcelo management will surely only enhance that reputation. (Barcelo operates 10 luxury properties throughout Mexico.) This baby-- for which they shelled out $48.2 million-- is rated AAA Four Diamond and offers an 18-hole golf course, swanky accommodations, three restaurants and four bars, eight swimming pools with waterfalls, children's club, fitness center and spa, and a theater. The Barcelo Karmina Palace Hotel is uber-family-friendly, and superior service is not abandoned with the convenience of the all-inclusive plan.
All About the Washington, D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival
Here in Washington we're already going gaga over the annual flowering of the Cherry Blossoms.

Below I've compiled some articles for your perusal and pleasure:

Semana Santa in Seville, Spain
Holy week in Seville takes place in the eight days between Palm Sunday and Easter (April 9-16 this year): an incredible celebration and melancholy observance at the same time. The cloaked Cofradias (Brotherhoods)-- their eyes and faces hidden by huge conical hats-- process through the city's narrow, winding streets. Some barefoot, burdened with crosses, or huge fantastic floats of the Virgin Mary or Jesus, kneeling in penitence as they circle from their church to the Cathedral of Seville and back-- passing mobs of citizen revelers and eager onlookers. The streets are absolutely packed with extended families (from infants to grandmothers) who gather to watch the processions of 57 brotherhoods carry 116 marvelous floats through the streets. To witness this religious ritual is a once-in-a-lifetime must. Where to stay in the exquisite historical city of Seville? The Hotel Alfonso XIII, of course! Built in 1929, the posh royal palace was inaugurated by the King for which it was named. A fixture on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List, the hotel is the essence of opulence. (Hurry, rooms are still available! My pick are the Moorish-themed rooms, with their tasteful and elegant furnishings.)

Disney descended on Hong Kong last September, and-- in the ultimate symbol of China's newly (and increasingly) ravenous consumer hunger-- is now planning a park on the Chinese mainland as well. Indeed, Hong Kong Disneyland was so mobbed during the Lunar New Year that hordes were denied entrance to the park. As quoted by CNN:
"China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded," said Shao Qiwei, director of China's State Administration of Tourism, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong's Cable TV.

There was a time in John Calipari's coaching career when he would look around the gym to see which other schools were recruiting the prospect he'd come to scout, and if he noticed someone from a particular type of school — Duke? Carolina? Kansas? — he'd approach that man and have a talk.
"'Do you really want the kid? Is he one of your guys, or is he THE guy?' And if he said, 'Cal, this is the guy' – what did I do? I recruited somebody else," Calipari told Sporting News in a conversation last month. "I'm not going to waste my time. So now I wanted that job, to where I could be that guy."

At Kentucky, Calipari is that guy.
With the Sacramento Kings, he'd be back to chasing leftovers.
Of course, he'd be Hall of Famer John Calipari of the Sacramento Kings, and that might help in the recruitment of free agents. But only a bit. He'd still be selling Sacramento in an NBA featuring two teams in Los Angeles and New York, and that's a whole lot tougher than selling a chance to play for the Memphis Tigers.
NBA writer Adrian Wojnarowski's report Tuesday that the Sacramento Kings were pursuing Calipari to coach the team and run the basketball operations hit all the right notes. First, it came from Wojnarowski's sources, which his track record proves certainly are impeccable.
No NBA franchise is getting Cal to come coach the team while someone else picks the players, which is one reason so many past Cal-to-the-NBA reports were hysterical in both senses of the word. Any GM hiring Calipari would be, essentially, hiring his own boss (or his own replacement). It wasn't going to happen. But the Sacramento deal would take care of all that.
Wojnarowski's report indicated Sacramento understood it would take $10 million or so annually to turn Cal's head, and it comes at a time when he might even be able to cash his retention bonus check and still leave for the league, if he were so inclined.
It would not, however, resolve the reality that Sacramento is a city of fewer than a half-million people with no exceptionally distinguishing features. It's not an awful place. But it's not anywhere an NBA All-Star dreams of playing.
An essential part of constructing a successful NBA franchise now is luring the right free agents. The brilliant San Antonio front office has overcome the challenges inherent in its market size by drafting shrewdly. But most recent NBA champions have included players who were free agents, or sign-and-trade types who called their own shots about where to play: Dallas, Miami, Golden State.
MORE: Five-star Jamal Murray commits to UK
Calipari worked for more than 20 years to get one of "those jobs."
He now has not only one of them, he might have the best of them. In this decade, his Kentucky program produced three of the six players chosen No. 1 overall in the NBA draft. He might have a fourth for 2016, in center Skal Labissiere.
He last week landed the final piece of his next Kentucky team, Jamal Murray, who is likely to become one of the top freshman guards in college basketball and could help push the Wildcats back to the Final Four for a fifth time in six seasons.
"For the 100th time, I have the best basketball coaching position in the world. I am not looking for any other coaching position," Calipari said in a statement released Tuesday. "Since he bought the team, Vivek Ranadive and I have talked on and off about DeMarcus Cousins. Vivek has asked me what I thought about DeMarcus and I told him he would be an all-star, and I was right. In the last two weeks, we've also talked a bunch about the draft and on draft day, obviously because of Willie Cauley-Stein. At no time has Vivek offered me a job. I will be at Kentucky."
Calipari will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. He is exceedingly proud to have earned that honor with his first nomination. It's impossible to imagine him showing up in Springfield for the ceremony wearing a Sacramento Kings cap.

This comes after a petition was signed by more than 50 people.
After hearing countless testimonies from both sides of the issue, the commission voted to make the ordinance an agenda item at their next April meeting.
Parks and Rec Director Tim Barker said the commission will then provide a recommendation to the council.
"The commission may to decide to continue the scooters as a ban but the commission is only an advisory group to city council," said Barker. "And so ultimately what will happen, the council will decide whether they'll change the way the ordinance is written."
In addition to banning scooters the ordinance also includes safety guidelines, as well as prohibited strollers on the skate park. As it stands right now riders who don't abide by the scooter ban could pay up to a $100 fine.

The New Obama Army inacted by Obamacare
Posted in the Greeneville Forum
1 - 7 of 7 Comments Last updated Mar 6, 2013
#1 Mar 3, 2013
Homeland Security graduates first Corps of Obamas Brown Shirts Homeland Youth
Vicksburg. The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930s Germany. Regardless of their name, the Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the Presidents AmeriCorp volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHSs youth corps, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.
On September 13, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security graduated its first class of FEMA Corps first-responders. While the idea of having a volunteer force of tens of thousands of volunteers scattered across the country to aid in times of natural disasters sounds great, the details and timing of this new government army is somewhat curious, if not disturbing.
DHS raising an armed army
The first problem one finds with this new army is the fact that they are mere children. Yes, 18 is generally the legal age a person can sign a contract, join the military or be tried as an adult. But ask any parent an 18, 20 or even a 24 year-old is still a naïve, readily-influenced kid.
The second problem with this announcement and program is its timing. Over the past two years, President Obama has signed a number of Executive Orders suspending all civil and Constitutional rights and turning over management of an America under Martial Law to FEMA. Also in that time, domestic federal agencies under DHS, including FEMA, have ordered billions of rounds of ammunition as well as the corresponding firearms. Admittedly, these new weapons and ammunition arent to be used in some far-off war or to fight forest fires in California, but right here on the streets of America.
Strange Armored Fighting Vehicles
Individuals around the US have begun reporting the site of strange, new, heavily-armed FEMA fighting vehicles. What would a disaster relief agency like FEMA need with 2,500 brand new GLS armored fighting vehicles? According to the agencys own mandate, as well as President Obamas recent Executive Order, the answer is population control during a time of Martial Law.
One set of images made available by Rense.com shows trailer after trailer carrying these new DHS and FEMA armored fighting vehicles, complete with machine gun slots. Theyre labeled with the usual backward American flag and the title,Homeland Security. Below that and the DHS logo, it also reads,Immigration & Customs Enforcement. Joining those markings, the black vehicles with white lettering also display POLICE/RESCUE on one side and Special Response Team on the other.
FEMA Deputy Administrator Rich Serino gave the keynote address at the Induction Ceremony for the inaugural class of FEMA Corps members. According to the DHS website,Corps members assist with disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities, providing support in areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovering centers to sharing valuable disaster preparedness and mitigation information with the public.
Serino describes what the first FEMA Corps class has accomplished so far, as well as where theyll be going next:
Yesterday, we welcomed 231 energetic members into the first ever FEMA Corps class. The members just finished off their first month of training with our partners at the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and are one step closer to working in the field on disaster response and recovery. They will now head to FEMAs Center for Domestic Preparedness to spend the next two weeks training in their FEMA position-specific roles. Once they complete both the CNCS and FEMA training, these 231 dedicated FEMA Corps members will be qualified to work in one of a variety of disaster related roles, ranging from Community Relations to Disaster Recovery Center support.

Note to Readers
I am usually immune to bouts of flu and the like, but starting yesterday afetrnoon, I have taken ill with fever and chills. I shall not be posting today.
I am usually immune to bouts of flu and the like, but starting yesterday afetrnoon, I have taken ill with fever and chills. I shall not be posting today.
Baylor University's Thomas Kidd has an article up at Patheos that looks at how evangelical voters can and should approach the GOP nominating process. I especially liked his concern about a traditional evangelical concern, religious liberty, and how some of the GOP candidates ignore that traditional concern and start fear-mongering about Muslims.
Yesterday, I was a guest on the "Colin McEnroe Show" on WNPR here in Connecticut. I was on a panel with former gubernatorial candidate Bill Curry and local news reporter Christine Stuart to discuss the budget negotiations going on between the Governor, the legislature and state employee labor unions. Here is a link to the audio.
I was especially proud to be able to point out that state employees are the only people on the planet whose work contracts are subject to review by state legislatures, which is like being the only teeth in someone's mouth subject to the attentions of an 18th century dentist. And, later in the show I was able to make the point, so central to Catholic social teaching, that labor is not a commodity and efforts to see it as such, either by businesses or government, is an ethical lapse.
By the way, anyone who thinks federalism is the answer should spend some time at your state legislature.
The President gave a mostly impressive performance at his press conference yesterday. Whenever a president finds himself being compared to Harry S. Truman, it is a good day for that president.
As noted in the link above, one of President Obama's strongest parts of the news conference was when he castigated Congress for failing to act on a variety of measures that might help the economy create more jobs. He noted pending legislation on trade, middle class tax cuts, infrastructure improvements and revising the patent system and challenged Congress to pass the bills. In addition to the Trumanesque charge that Congress is not doing all it should, here was Obama defending a proposition that the GOP denies, that government is part of the solution and not just the problem when trying to stimulate the economy. I wish the President had been a little more explicit on that point, mentioning the jobs that were saved at Chrysler and GM, the people working on infrastructure projects right this moment, etc.
Mark Silk at Spiritual Politics looks at the latest Gallup figures on the God Gap. As usual, more religiously observant American tend to the Republicans, moderately religious Americans tend towards the Democrats, and non-religious Americans overwhelmingly support the Dems.
NCR pulled in a big haul of awards from the Catholic Press Association. But, I also wish to call attention to another one of the award winners. Professor Charles Camosy of Fordham won second place in the category Social Concerns category for his book "Too Expensive To Treat? Finitude, Tragedy and the Nenatal ICU" which can be found, and purchased, at Amazon by clicking here.
Camosy is one of the movers and shakers behind the Catholic Conversation Project, a group of young, untenured theologians who meet to discuss issues of concern to the Church. His commentaries have appeared in these pages before and I reviewed his book here.
Congrats to Camosy for his fine book and his well-earned award.
Yesterday, Michelle Bachmann was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos. He asked her about her claim that the founding fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery, a claim that does not pass the historical sniff test.
Bachmann not only stood by her remarks but brought an example. She cited the anti-slavery efforts of John Quincy Adams. To be sure, John Quincy was a great hero in the cause of abolition, but he was also nine years old when his dad signed the Declaration of Independence. What can we conclude from this? Bachmann saw the movie "Amistad."
If Pentecost is known, properly, as the "birthday" of the Christian Church, today is the Catholic Church's "name day." Unity in faith is one of the gifts of the Spirit, so Pentecost bespeaks a decidedly ecumenical flavor and agenda, but the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul is a distinctly Roman day. This is why the Ecumenical Patriarch comes to Rome, or sends a legate, on this day as the Pope sends a legate to Istanbul on the Feast of St. Andrew.
The fact that the feast day is shared by the two greatest apostles tells us something about the nature of the Church. Peter is the rock, the foundation on which the Church is built. Paul is the great missionary, called to bring the Good News to the gentiles. The Catholic Church must always embody both vocations. It must be solid, rock solid, able to withstand the fads and threats that beset every age. It must also constantly be looking beyond itself, bringing the Gospels to the gentiles of our day. And not only to the gentiles, but the Church must bring the Gospel to those parts of our hearts and minds that remain hidden from the light of Christ.
The following Action Alert from the USCCB was issued today. (I apologize if links do not work - my cursor is beyond skittish and, as soon as I return to DC next week, will be getting a new computer. Bear with me.)
Take ACTION!
Protect our Poor and Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops urges Congress and the Administration to protect programs for poor and vulnerable persons during deficit reduction negotiations that are happening this week.
What you can do:
Urge the Administration and Congress to give priority to poor and vulnerable persons in the negotiations to reduce the deficit.
Fiscal responsibility is important and our current budget deficit must be addressed; however, a just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons. A balanced approach requires shared sacrifice by all, including raising adequate revenues, eliminating unnecessary spending, and addressing the long-term costs of health insurance and retirement programs fairly.
Urge Congress and the Administration to consider these moral criteria to guide their budgetary decisions:
Chris Cillizza, the very bright political reporter at the Washington Post, looks at Michelle Bachmann's explicit efforts to become the, make that THE, Tea Party candidate of choice. And, he compares that effort to the 2008 effort of Gov, Mike Huckabee to become THE candidate of the religious right.
But, as Mark Silk points out, there is more than a little overlap between the Tea Party and the religious right. And, I would add that while Huckabee built his lightly financed campaign on the social network of home schoolers, in Bachmann, those home schoolers see not only a champion as they did with Huckabee, but one of their own. After all, most of the parents who actually do the home schooling are women.

Choose any three by three square of dates on a calendar page.
Circle any number on the top row, put a line through the other
numbers that are in the same row and column as your circled number.
Repeat this for a number of your choice from the second row. You
should now have just one number left on the bottom row, circle it.
Find the total for the three numbers circled. Compare this total
with the number in the centre of the square. What do you find? Can
you explain why this happens?
Take any two digit number, for example 58. What do you have to do to reverse the order of the digits? Can you find a rule for reversing the order of digits for any two digit number?
Can you explain how this card trick works?
Joshua Bull (Brooklands Primary School, Suffolk) explains ...
I did this problem by trial and error. I worked out that D + S = E so neither D or S could be 0.
I chose at random some numbers for E and A and worked out my hundreds column first.
I found these solutions:
Are there any more solutions?
Here are some more that have been sent in.....
Alana Asher (Eastbury Farm JMI & Nursery School, Middlesex) discovered the same one as Jason's second solution.
These two came for Alicia Persaud and Priya Gami (Eastbury Farm JMI & Nursery School, Middlesex).
Here's another one from Tan Ian Wern (Tao Nan School, Singapore)
Zachary from Clearwater Bay School in Hong Kong has found another different solution:
Laura, Sophia and Sophie from St Michael's Collegiate School in Hobart, Tasmania, found another different solution:
Jayden from Elm Park School in Auckland has found another new solution:
Well done!
Pierre Thomson from Rifton, New York, wrote to tell us that he was working on this problem with his daughter. He managed to write a computer program to find all the solutions and discovered there are 140 altogether! However, some of his solutions (like some of the above) included a zero in the thousands column - this is not how we usually write numbers so you may prefer to
ignore these if you are working on this problem.
