Geri Allen: Apollo's Muse
One of the major jazz pianists of her generation and winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship for her work as a composer, Allen was approached about doing the program by Laura Greer, Associate Producer at the Apollo, who contacted her through Ora Harris, Allen's manager for the last 20 years. "This was an amazing bigger-than-life opportunity," says Allen, "paying tribute to some of our greatest jazz icons of all time at the historic Apollo Theater. I asked two conceptualists to help me come up with a unique and very special evening: S. Epatha Merkerson, the brilliant actor, director and film maker, and Farah Jasim Griffin, the noted historian, author and scholar, who has created the script. And we are all thrilled to have an amazing cast." Members include vocalists Diane Reeves, a four-time Grammy winner, and Lizz Wright, whose recordings have ranked high on contemporary jazz charts, as well as actress Karen Malina White, known for her appearance in the 1989 Morgan Freeman film, Lean on Me and other roles.
Allen describes the setting for the program: "the story is told by a young up-and-coming singer invited to a private Apollo soundcheck by her aunt, a member of the legendary Apollo Stage Crew, to witness some of today's grand dames of jazz in rehearsal. The young singer is witness to a musical journey flowing from the past, in and out of real time, as she is embraced by these great artists, who speak to her freely about their own influences." The influences are many: Billie Holiday, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Mary Lou Williams, Moms Mabley, Pearl Bailey, Aretha Franklin, the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Nina Simone and others. "These women become her muse, and our young singer finds her musical wings through this experience. We, as the audience, hear their stories and renditions of the hits which made these Apollo women famous, along with original songs with lyrics by Farah Jasmin Griffin."
In addition to creating and organizing the program, Allen will be featured prominently as a performer, along with her longtime working ensemble, the Timeline Band, and Terri Lyne Carrington, the drummer and composer who has collaborated closely with Allen in recent years. Other featured performers include saxophonist Tia Fuller, the Howard University choral group Afro Blue directed by Connaitre Miller, tap dancer Alexandra Bradley, guitarist Marvin Sewell and DJ Val Jeanty.
The Timeline Band includes bassist Kenny Davis, drummer Kassa Overall and tapdancer/percussionist Maurice Chestnut. "They will all be with me at the Apollo, holding it down," Allen enthuses. "It has been a blessing to have Timeline as a foundation. The band has been together for almost 10 years. In this industry that means a great deal, and I thank them now for the wonderful music all these years. Kenny is a great bassist and a great human being. I am grateful to call him my friend. He is the consummate professional and gentlemen. I know if he is going to be there, everything is gonna be alright. Maurice and Kassa have benefitted greatly by being around him. Kassa is an incredible drummer, and Maurice is also outstanding and gifted."
Allen's other collaborations with Carrington include work on the drummer's The Mosaic Project (Concord, 2012), featuring some of today's most prominent female instrumentalists and vocalists, including Diane Reeves. It won the 2012 Grammy for best jazz vocal album. "Terri is a true visionary," says Allen. "In my opinion, she has created a shift in the music and continues to produce amazing and inspired work, including her newest release Money Jungle (Concord, 2013). She comes to music from a place of inclusion and empowers those around her, by way of her brilliant artistry. She is innovating."
Allen and Carrington have also teamed together with bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding, and are touring actively in 2013 as a trio. "Terri Lyne brought Esperanza and me together to perform, and it was magic from the very first note. It is so much fun and quite thrilling," says Allen. "Esperanza and Terri bring all that is beautiful and authentic about life onto the bandstand, and the music moves through time and space in a spirit of optimism and acceptance." The group, known as ACS, will be performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival on June 29 and touring Europe and the western United States in July and August. "We are celebrating the great [saxophonist] Wayne Shorter and will be performing many of the gems from his amazing body of work. We will also be performing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark in the fall, as a part of the James Moody Democracy of Jazz Festival."
Another notable jazz vocal project for Allen is her recording with Elizabeth Kontomanou (Plus Loin, 2012), featuring a spare setting of vocals and piano alone and a wonderful, spiritual feel. "Elisabeth is an incredible force, and I hope she will come to the states to perform more often. Mount V. Allen, my brother, brought us together on a date in Canada. What a voice and what a fearless approach. She wanted to look at this spiritually based work, which is close to my heart."
Allen's recent recordings under her own name include a set of three solo piano-driven outings for the Motéma label, co-produced by Kunle Mwanga. The first, Flying Toward the Sound (2010), subtitled A Solo Piano Excursion Inspired by Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock, was the outcome of her Guggenheim Fellowship, and was met with considerable critical acclaim. The second, A Child Is Born (2011), was equally well received. "I always wanted to do a Christmas CD, to create a timeless photograph of shared memories of family, love ones and the true meaning of Christmas. Ora Harris and I visited Bethlehem in 2007, and this was a life-changing experience for me. I am grateful to [Motéma label head] Jana Herzen for providing this platform for me to express the joy and wonder of Christmas through music."
The third solo piano recording in the series is the forthcoming Grand River Crossings (2013), which celebrates Allen's roots in Detroit, Michigan. "This CD celebrates Motown and the Motor City. I revisited a reference from Marvin Gaye, which we explored on Elisabeth Kontomanou's CD. Some of the composers represented include Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson. The Supremes, The Four Tops, Michael Jackson and Aretha Franklin are also sources of inspiration. Gerald Wilson and Roy Brook's compositions are also represented. I wanted to embrace all the diverse aspects of the Motown, the Motor City pool." While the focus is primarily Allen's solo playing, guest accompanists include trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, an early Allen mentor, and Detroit- based saxophonist David McMurray.
In addition to citing her early Detroit influences and the modern piano triumvirate of Taylor, Tyner and Hancock, Allen is quick to point to another major source of continuing inspiration in her music and her life: the prolific pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. "Her musk is timeless, as Duke Ellington so eloquently stated. As a pianist, as a composer and as an educator, I follow her lead in many ways still. I have been the musical director of the Mary Lou Williams Collective now for some ten years or more, performed her mass, "Music for Peace" with Carmen Lundy on numerous occasions, and I am always learning more through the experience of her music. My Christmas CD and my vocal suite, For the Healing of the Nations, written in tribute to the victims and survivors of the 9/11 tragedy and their families, found inspiration from Mary Lou Williams' mass for peace. She was a great humanitarian and continues to inspire in so many ways." Other notable recent work by Allen that honors Williams is her recording with saxophonist Oliver Lake, drummer Andrew Cyrille and bassist Reggie Workman, Trio 3 & Geri Allen, Celebrating Mary Lou Williams: Live At Birdland, New York (Intakt Records, 2011).
Allen's family is another powerful influence for her. "My parents, Barbara Jean Allen, who passed in '82, and Mount Vernell Allen, Jr., are my inspirations. My father recently celebrated his 85th birthday in Detroit. So many of his former students, colleagues and friends came to celebrate his legacy. This was an incredible experience, witnessing the impact that one person can have on an entire community and not really know it. This birthday celebration gave people the opportunity to say 'thank you' to him and to express how he'd changed their lives in significant ways. My brother Mount and I are close as well. My children are my life, and these are the areas that remain my focus. Music is a partial reflection of these things."
It's especially impressive to note that in addition to her extensive work as a recording artist and her active touring schedule, Allen has had an accomplished career as an educator, following a long family tradition. "My grandmother, Leola Allen, taught in a one-room schoolhouse, and my father is a retired educator. I never realized, coming up as a young musician, how much teaching would eventually define my life. It has, and I have been very fortunate to be a member of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance faculty since 2004. My students inspire me every day, as do my colleagues. I now know for certain that teaching is in my genes, and I love it."
Regarding other upcoming or ongoing projects, Allen hesitates about going into much detail. "It is hard to start speaking about other projects because there are so many incredible collaborations I'd hate to miss. I do have to congratulate NEA [National Endowment for the Arts] Jazz Master Lorraine Gordon for all she has done to maintain an incredible place for the music that continues to exist in New York City. I've played at the Village Vanguard with [trumpeter] Lester Bowie, [drummer] Paul Motian and [bassist] Charlie Haden, with [bassist] Ron Carter and [drummer] Jimmy Cobb, and most recently with Terri Lyne and Esperanza. I will be playing the Vanguard this fall, too, with [saxophonist] Ravi Coltrane, [drummer] Jeff "Tain" Watts and [bassist] James Genus."
Allen recalls fondly the March, 2013 concert she participated in celebrating the memory of the late Paul Motian at Symphony Space in New York. "What a beautiful tribute, organized by [saxophonist]Joe Lovano and [guitarist] Bill Frisell." And she looks forward to another tribute to a longtime musical colleague. "I am on the way to Healdsburg, California, to participate in a celebration of Charlie Haden, who won the lifetime achievement Grammy Award this year congratulations Charlie!and am thrilled to be with him again, to say thank you for all the great music he is contributing and has contributed, and be amongst friends and musical inspiration."
An upcoming fall performance comes to Allen's mind as particularly important: the opening of the 2013-2014 season of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jacques Lacombe, which will feature the world premier of Stones & Streams, Allen's original symphonic work commissioned by the Orchestra. Allen will also be playing piano for the three performances of the piece, which are scheduled for September 27, 28 and 29. "I am thrilled to be collaborating with the Orchestra and Maestro Lacombe. This is a maiden voyage for me, and I feel extremely privileged and honored to have been invited."

Safe Abandoning of Ships - Improvement of Current Lifesaving Appliances Systems
The project is aiming to realise innovative and proven evacuation craft concepts to increase passenger safety substantially during an emergency at sea. It addresses the assessment procedures and generates novel concepts in order to increase the reliability of ship rescue.
A tendency to develop passenger vessels carrying more than 5 000 passengers can be foreseen. A major calamity, such as flooding or fire, would have catastrophic consequences and special focus should be given to the means of rescue. Little scientific evidence is available on the effectiveness of ship evacuation craft in realistic conditions. No technical evidence seems to be available on the performance of the rescue system, i.e. hardware and procedures/management. Analysing the rescue process as a whole and considering non-conventional measures might increase the effectiveness of safety investments and save space aboard ship. Moreover, the success rate will improve dramatically. Model-scale and full-scale tests of novel rescue system concepts under extreme weather conditions will be required and a full-scale test prototype will be developed in order to obtain evacuation success rates.
Passenger transportation by sea or inland is important for many European citizens, living an average distance away from waterways of about 50 km.
Europe is the market leader when it comes to capital investment in passenger ships and ferries throughout the world. By taking the lead in improving human safety and by providing standards for all lifesaving appliances in Europe, we can strengthen our position and maintain our influence on the market.
The objective is to provide an improvement in safety for the evacuation system in terms of passenger/crew survivability by conceptual improvements of current lifesaving appliances (LSA).
This project is concentrating on the rescue process by both quantifying the performance of ship evacuation craft and improving the concept of reaching the rescue vessel in a safe and reliable manner. The challenge is to exploit a first principles approach (regarding hydromechanics, mechanics and human behaviour) in the design of rescue systems for passengers, addressing both the hardware and the procedures.
The project takes the two major aspects into consideration:
- Passenger performance
Performance of passengers under an evacuation can be characterised by parameters which can quantify passenger abilities. Examples are the ability to climb/descend or the ability to survive violent motions during a lifeboat launch.
Psychological aspects related to passenger behaviour are considered in a pragmatic fashion.
- Hardware performance
The evacuation hardware can also be characterised by physical parameters, but now with respect to what is required from passengers in order to successfully use the hardware, e.g. height of the steps to be taken for boarding a lifeboat, including the effect of motions.
Description of work
The project focuses on researching current evacuation craft, and the development of new concepts and assessment and testing of their life-saving performance. The complete rescue process will be investigated from abandoning the ship until leaving the survival craft on a safe refuge area.
The following steps will be taken:
- Identify appropriate parameters to assess the performance of evacuation systems in a quantitative fashion
- Identify and modify calculation tools to predict evacuation hardware performance in terms of physical circumstances to which passengers will be subjected, as well as mechanical reliability
- Acquire well-documented and reproducible test data on physical performance which can be expected from passengers
- Acquire well-documented and reproducible test data on characteristics of existing evacuation hardware
- Use data from tests on existing hardware to modify and tune the calculation tools
- Generate new evacuation concepts
- Predict the characteristics of these concepts with relation to physical circumstances to which passengers will be subjected when using these new systems, as well as mechanical reliability
- Build a demonstrator of the most promising concept and put it to the test.
The following results will be achieved:
- A method to assess overall reliability and effectiveness of rescue systems for passenger vessels, integrating available methodology from earlier studies on specific subjects of the rescue process
- Potential improvements for existing systems and their expected effectiveness, supported by theoretical and experimental assessment
- Innovative ship evacuation concepts including their expected effectiveness, supported by theoretical and experimental assessment
- An application of an equivalent design clause under the SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) provision for the innovative LSA concept.
The aim is to prove attained safety levels acceptable to the EC. Stated safety levels must be supported by sound scientific evidence. In this respect, physical model tests and full-scale tests will play a decisive role.

On the season, Trumpy had 35 carries for 182 yards – a 5.2-yard average – and one touchdown. Trumpy also missed the end of last season with a broken wrist.
"It's tough. Injuries are part of the game, but when you lose a guy as special as Mike is, that hurts both our team, and obviously hurts him to be on the sideline," senior back Jacob Schmidt said. "As a group, we've got to pick up the flag. We've got to embrace our role and just play that much better."
The injury is a blow to the running game, but Northwestern may be able to handle it better than in past years. This season, NU has it's deepest set of running backs in recent memory.
In addition to Trumpy, Schmidt, freshman Treyvon Green, and sophomore Adonis Smith have all rushed for over 100 yards and at least one touchdown this season. Schmidt, Green and Smith all average just above or below four yards per carry.
"We're going to have to have the young guys, Treyvon and Adonis, step up and really fill that void that we're going to have," Schmidt said. "Do I think we can do it? Yeah, I know we can. But losing Mike definitely hurts."
Schmidt and Green are listed on the two-deep depth chart this week, and both bring a different dynamic to the running game. Schmidt brings experience, intelligence, and a deep knowledge of the NU system. Green has less experience, but boasts an incredible talent that will likely continue to develop over time.
"He's a special runner, he's a special athlete," Schmidt said of Green. "He's dynamic with the football, he's got really good vision. But at the same time he's young, and I think we saw that on Saturday a couple times."
Fitzgerald said he thought Northwestern remained efficient running the football against Illinois even after Trumpy's departure. Green was the leading rusher with 17 carries for 67 yards and Schmidt scored the late go-ahead touchdown.
Despite that, however, both backs will likely see an increased amount of carries per game. How they handle will determine the success of NU's rushing attack, and could determine whether Northwestern keeps its newfound balanced offensive attack, or turns to Dan Persa and the passing game to pick up the slack.

THQ Announces Worms: Battle Islands for Wii
Wii retail title will include customization options and online play along with a full Worms campaign.
THQ is bringing the classic Worms series to the Nintendo Wii this November, with the newly announced Worms: Battle Islands. The Wii version will include 30 campaign missions and 30 puzzle stages, along with online multiplayer support. The press release also teases customization options for both the titular worms and their weapons, but a screenshot (above) is our only hint as to how deep the tool kit goes.
Team 17 recently stepped back from retail publishing, but this is being handled through the relatively new THQ Partners program. This should allow Team 17 to develop the game without the publishing headaches that are otherwise making it stray towards digital distribution.

The Boys Are Back, adapted from a Down Under newspaperman's I'm-a-single-dad memoir, is full of possibility: Possibilities for mawkishness, for sap, for one big pity party.
But thanks to Clive Owen - who stars as Joe Warr, the transplanted Brit whose loving wife succumbs to cancer and who is left to raise his young son and cover the Australian Open - The Boys Are Back finds its emotional truth, its power. An actor who knows how to keep still when the camera's on him, and whose stoicism and strength give way to vulnerability at only the key moments, Owen connects with the material - and with the young actors playing his 6-year-old boy, and then, a third of the way in, his teenage son.

Fourth-quarter profit plunges at CME on declining trading volumes
CME Group on Tuesday reported a 78% year-on-year plunge in fourth-quarter profit, to $166.8m, weighed down by a 13% decline in the average number of contracts traded per day across its platforms, to 10.2 million, during the period.
Hurt by falling volumes in its existing derivatives business, the US exchange operator posted a 10% drop in revenue for the three months ended December, to $660.9m.
CME estimated that its clearinghouse processed $274bn worth of interest-rate and credit-default swap transactions in January, roughly doubling December's total, signalling that more swap traders are routing their business to its clearing facilities ahead of US rules that will begin requiring some firms to clear swap transactions by March 11.
On a call with analysts, chief executive Phupinder Gill said that the Chicago-based firm remains open to partnerships with foreign-based exchanges, while insisting that IntercontinentalExchange's planned $8.2bn takeover of NYSE Euronext doesn't change the competitive picture.

Dumming Down Conservative Party Politicsposted by Moderator

The Perils of 'Populist Chic'
By Mark Lilla
The Wall Street Journal
November 8, 2008
What the rise of Sarah Palin and populism means for the conservative intellectual tradition.
Finita la commedia. Many things ended on Tuesday evening when Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States, and depending on how you voted you are either celebrating or mourning this weekend. But no matter what our political affiliations, we should all — Republicans and Democrats alike — be toasting the return of Governor Sarah Palin to Juneau, Alaska.
The Palin farce is already the stuff of legend. For a generation at least it is sure to keep presidential historians and late-night comedians in gainful employment, which is no small thing. But it would be a pity if laughter drowned out serious reflection about this bizarre episode. As Jane Mayer reported recently in the New Yorker ("The Insiders," Oct. 27, 2008), John McCain's choice was not a fluke, or a senior moment, or an act of desperation. It was the result of a long campaign by influential conservative intellectuals to find a young, populist leader to whom they might hitch their wagons in the future.
And not just any intellectuals. It was the editors of National Review and the Weekly Standard, magazines that present themselves as heirs to the sophisticated conservatism of William F. Buckley and the bookish seriousness of the New York neoconservatives. After the campaign for Sarah Palin, those intellectual traditions may now be pronounced officially dead. (more…)

New Zealand to eradicate pet cats?Purr-ish the thought!

Gareth Morgan has a simple dream: a New Zealand free of pet cats that threaten native birds. But the environmental advocate has triggered a claws-out backlash with his anti-feline campaign.
Morgan called on his countrymen Tuesday to make their current cat their last in order to save the nation's unique bird species. He set up a website, called Cats To Go, depicting a tiny kitten with red devil's horns. The opening line: ``That little ball of fluff you own is a natural born killer.''
He doesn't recommended people euthanize their current cats _ ``Not necessarily but that is an option'' are the site's exact words _ but rather neuter them and not replace them when they die. Morgan, an economist and well-known businessman, also suggests people keep cats indoors and that local governments make registration mandatory.
Morgan's campaign is not sitting well in a country that boasts one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world.
``I say to Gareth Morgan, butt out of our lives,'' Bob Kerridge, the president of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told the current affairs television show Campbell Live. ``Don't deprive us of the beautiful companionship that a cat can provide individually and as a family.''
For thousands of years, New Zealand's native birds had no predators and flourished. Some species, like the kiwi, became flightless. But the arrival of mankind and its introduction of predators like cats, dogs and rodents have wiped out some native bird species altogether and endangered many others.
``Imagine a New Zealand teeming with native wildlife, penguins on the beach, kiwis roaming about in your garden,'' Morgan writes on his website. ``Imagine hearing birdsong in our cities.''
But many New Zealanders are against the campaign. Even on Morgan's website, about 70 percent of respondents were voting against making their current cat their last.

A Wednesday night fire in south Amarillo claimed one life, reportedly that of an 8-year-old boy.
Alerted by multiple 911 calls, firefighters responded to the house fire at 2711 S. Seminole St. just after 10 p.m. and found the single-story brick home fully engulfed in flames, said Amarillo Fire Department spokesman Charles Upton. Family members said that an 8-year-old boy was in the home, so a crew of firefighters immediately entered the house to conduct a search as flames 20 feet high shot out of the front of the roof.
The initial search yielded no results, Upton said.
As firefighters tried to bring the blaze under control, family and neighbors streamed into the area to watch their efforts and try to comfort each other.
Rudy Ramirez, one of the first to discover the blaze, lives across the street from the house. Hearing that the boy, who he had known for three years, was possibly inside, Ramirez said he tried to make it into the burning house, but was rebuffed by the fire.
"I tried to go in, I really tried," Ramirez said. "But the smoke was so thick I just couldn't make it. All I could do was stand there and watch it burn."
Ramirez identified the woman who lived in the home as Jennifer Morales and said she had two children, a 13-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son. Family members said the boy had been asleep in a back bedroom just before the blaze started.
The mother and her daughter huddled together in the back of an ambulance as they were comforted by friends telling them to hold out hope. As word spread that the initial search had failed to find the boy, neighbors fanned out through the neighborhood in hopes that the boy could be found nearby.
Julie Hernandez, who said that she was very close to the family and was the godmother of the girl, stood watching firefighters battle the blaze with tears streaming from her eyes.
"It's terrible just standing around waiting and not knowing what's going on," Hernandez said. "I just hope somebody pulled him out in time or that he got out on his own."
Neighborhood searchers were unable to locate the boy at any of his friends' houses in the area.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control about 10:30 p.m. and sent in extra crews to conduct a second search.
As the crowd of nearly 100 people watched, firefighters picked up charred timbers and looked under burned furniture in their search. Just before 11 p.m., firefighters and police draped a yellow tarpaulin over an object in the burned-out front room of the house, which was little more than a stack of bricks and some charred wood boards.
When emergency crews told the mother that they had found a body in her home, she burst into tears and began screaming" no" over and over again. Members of the crowd broke down in each other's arms.
Ramirez choked back tears while trying to talk about the little boy.
"I used to take him to school and pick him up every day," Ramirez said. "I would tell him that I loved him all the time. He was just such a lovable little boy.
"He kind of lived in his own little world. He was always telling stories and making stuff up. God, I can't believe he's gone."
Ramirez said the boy had been alone in the house at the time of the fire. The boy's sister had come over to his house for a few minutes just before they discovered the fire across the street.
Upton confirmed that firefighters found the body of a juvenile in the front of the home. Upton and police officers were unable to confirm the identity of the victim pending a forensic identification.
Upton was unable to say where the fire had started or comment on a cause. He said the front of the house sustained the worst damage. The house was mostly destroyed by the blaze, Upton said.

2014 NBA Draft: 16 Little-Known Facts About the NBA Draft
June 9th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Thanks But No Thanks
The NBA draft has seen a few zany things over the course of its soon-to-be, 68-year history. We cobbled together 16 of those crazier facts.
The Pittsburgh Ironmen made Texas Wesleyan's Clifton McNeely the first No. 1 draft pick ever, in 1947 (back when the NBA was the BAA). The 28-year-old McNeely, who served with the U.S. Air Corps in World War II, opted for a career as the boys' basketball coach at Pampa (TX) High School instead and never played professionally.
Hoping to Strike Gold
A month-and-a-half before his four-gold medal performance at the 1984 Summer Olympics, Carl Lewis was selected in the 10th round by the Chicago Bulls, who had drafted Michael Jordan in the first round earlier in the draft.
Duke of the Draft
45 different colleges have produced the No. 1 overall pick since 1947. Duke boasts the most top picks of any school with three (Art Heyman, Elton Brand and Kyrie Irving).
Respect Your Elders?
The last college senior selected first overall in the NBA draft was Cincinnati's Kenyon Martin, who went No. 1 to the New Jersey Nets in 2000.
Dream On
The NBA draft lottery was held for the first time in 1985. The reason? The year before numerous teams were accused of tanking in order to win the right to draft Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon with the 1984 No. 1 overall pick.
Bird Won't Leave the Nest
Larry Bird was selected sixth overall by the Boston Celtics in the 1978 NBA Draft after his junior year at Indiana State but opted to stay in college. Soon after, the NBA adopted the "Bird Collegiate Rule," preventing teams from drafting players before they were ready to sign.
Thunder Rolls In
Orlando high schooler Darryl Dawkins (later nicknamed "Chocolate Thunder" by singer Stevie Wonder) became the NBA's first preps-to-pros NBA player when he went No. 5 overall to the 76ers in 1975 (Moses Malone was drafted by the ABA in 1974). Fellow high schooler Bill Willoughby went in the second round of that same draft.
Full Circle
In 1995, Kevin Garnett became the first preps-to-pros player drafted in 20 years. The Timberwolves selected him No. 5 overall – the same pick that the 76ers used on their landmark selection of Darryl Dawkins exactly two decades before.
Think the NFL player draft feels long? The 1968 NBA Draft lasted a whopping 21 rounds, during which 214 players were selected (former Houston star Elvin Hayes was the No. 1 overall pick).
Classiest Class
The first 16 picks of the 1984 produced four future Hall of Famers – Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton – as well as three future All-Stars in Alvin Robertson, Otis Thorpe and Kevin Willis.
It's Actually Lucky to be Cleveland
2014 marks the sixth time that the Cleveland Cavaliers have the No. 1 overall selection, more than any other franchise. Five of those six top picks have come in the draft lottery era.
Nice Job, Nigeria
Nigeria is the only country aside from the U.S. to have produced more than one No. 1 overall pick, having been the birthplace of both Hakeem Olajuwon (1984) and Michael Olowakandi (1999).
Not Many No. 1 Busts
For all the notoriety of former No. 1 picks-turned-busts like Michael Olowakandi, Kwame Brown and Greg Oden, they are rare deviations from the recent mean. Only seven of the past 35 top picks since 1979 have failed to reach an All-Star game.
Same Time, Not Same Place
From 1992-2000, the site of the draft alternated between (in chronological order) Portland, Auburn Hills, Indianapolis, Toronto, East Rutherford, Charlotte, Vancouver, Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis. It has been held in New York, Brooklyn or New Jersey every year since then.
Y2K Bug
Widely considered the worst draft class in NBA history, 2000 produced a mere three future All-Stars. Coincidentally, all three – Kenyon Martin, Jamaal Magloire and Michael Redd – would make their lone All-Star game appearances in 2004.
Be Nice to Bowie
Often forgotten in the perpetual "bust" discussion revolving around the No. 2 overall pick in 1984, Sam Bowie (one pick before Michael Jordan), is that Bowie would eventually spend 11 seasons in the NBA and finished with over 5,500 points and over 3,800 rebounds.

Gates Prefers More Iran Sanctions Over Diplomacy
Iran Not Enriching Uranium Beyond Low Levels
A little over a week after President Obama offered a "new beginning" in US-Iran relations in what was seen at the time to be a significant diplomatic overture, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has insisted that he prefers economic sanctions against the nation to diplomatic initiatives.
America has already placed a massive level of sanctions on the Iranians, and has struggled to get international support for additional sanctions given the paucity of evidence of any Iranian wrongdoing. Indeed, while Gates spoke vaguely of Iran "clandestinely" building enrichment capacity, he conceded once against that Iran was not enriching uranium beyond the low levels needed for the soon-to-be-completed Bushehr power plant.
Iran's state-run media has portrayed the comments as evidence of a "schism" between the secretary and the White House, yet President Obama has alternated between bellicose accusations and vague conciliatory statements in his own Iran policy, while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has previous said the administration doesn't expect diplomacy to work with Iran. In that light, it seems that Gates' comments are right in the wheelhouse of America's current foreign policy position, if expressed quite a bit more frankly than has been recently the case.

Thanks, Stef. The car still experiences this clicking sound after the replacement. The same humming sound seemed to not go away. When they looked at the velocity bearings, the grease on the inner ones turned liquid and spilled out. I was thinking, that's probably it, but I'm unsure. That's a costly repair, as its an assembly. I would like to know if anyone has had similar experiences, because I am inclined to go with the following: 1. Flywheel? I am unsure as mine is a tiptronic TDCi model. Its roughly at 90k. I can feel slight slippage when stepping on the pedal and when the torque kicks in. 2. Velocity bearing, but I'm still iffy. It clicks on low speed, and there's a slight hum in high speed. Appreciate the help! Thanks!
Yes. It was pressed out and in with no problems. I had it checked again today. Everything is tight. It seems that we diagnosed wrong. It was not the wheel bearing that I should have replaced. I'm about to repack my inner and outer velocity bearings. I hope it does the job. Otherwise, its replacement.
Quint started following Clicks And Knocks After Front Bearing Replacement
Quint posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubLast week, I changed the front bearings of my mk2.5 TDCi because it was humming. While I was at it, I replaced the tie rod assembly, both bar and end. After a week, I could hear clicks and knocks on it that is becoming more annoying. Anyone who experienced this before?
Quint started following Timing Belt Replace Focus Mk2
Quint replied to eliaskok's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, Would appreciate to see a step by step with pics. Also, kindly indicate if its for a petrol or diesel. Thanks!
Quint replied to Huddersfielder's topic in Maintenance / Servicing / MOT DiscussionsI just experienced this exact problem today, and was wondering how you solved this issue. The mechanics wouldn't give it another push in fear of breaking the plastic housing. I find it a bit ridiculous that this has happened, and I surmise that its because its a vacuum environment where the pressure needs to be released first before you can open it. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Quint started following Focus 2.0 Tdci Fuel Filter Housing
Quint replied to Kieran Thacker's topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsEven if he changed the clutch but if the fluid is old, it would still be clogged with dirty / burnt oil, which will further burn the clutch.
Quint started following Ford Focus 1.8 Tdci Shudder At 2500 Rpm
Quint replied to Kieran Thacker's topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsI have a theory based on experience at 55k. I think the fluctuating is caused by the computer getting confused. Thick oil creates heaviness/load > computer dictates downshift, but RPM reaches gear threshold > computer dictates upshift, thus, the fluctuation. Shudder is caused by a bit of slippage between gear changes. So I asked the mechanic to: 1. change the ATF. 2. If no.1 doesn't work, check and clean sensors. 3. if no. 2 doesn't work, check clutch and pressure plates (because of slippage). ATF replacement did the job and problem went away. Discovered that DSG didn't have filter but strainer. It was clogged according to the mechanic. Prolong the usage at your own peril as it can potentially burn the clutches. Hope this helps.
Quint replied to vibeone's topic in Ford Focus ClubI would venture that its a transmission issue, and that you need to change the oil, if you haven't done that. My car had even worse than a shudder. The tranny was changing gears randomly between gears, upshifting upon reaching 2k, then when it felt that there was load, then it would downshift. Manual recommends replacement at 60k but these symptoms manifested at 55k . So I gave specific instructions to the dealer to the ff: 1. Change the ATF. 2. If no.1 doesn't work, check and clean sensors. 3. if no. 2 doesn't work, check clutch and pressure plates (because of shudder/slippage). Only had to do ATF. Everything was ok. A/T doesn't have a filter and only a strainer. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Steve. Looking forward to learning from you guys...

So you've seen throughout this video that I've been using a layout-based Workflow and you've watched the basics of layout-based Workflows and how to set up the workflow from InDesign and you might be wondering well, why isn't everybody using a layout-based Workflow? Why is it that Adobe really pushes an assignment-based workflow? And that's because sometimes layout- based Workflows don't really work well, or there are some road blocks. So, what I want to tell you in this video are some tips and recommendations that I have to make sure that you have a successful layout-based workflow. If it's not working for you, you can always add assignments and if you want, they can be combined, you can combine a layout-based workflow and assignment-based workflow.
I'll talk about that more in the next chapter. But first of all, when everybody is opening up a layout over the network, you want to have a fast network, and I know that I said this earlier under recommendations but it's really important that you check every part of the network, that it's using gigabit ethernet, and that there's no old switch holding everything back as a bottleneck that everything is optimized for the fastest network possible. You also want to make sure that your server is reasonably fast and all the workstations are fast as well. It does no good to have a screaming fast server if somebody is using an old Acer computer from 2003.
So, the workstations need to be up-to- date and the server needs to be up-to-date. If you're finding that it takes a long time for layouts to open over the network and you are positive that it is not the fault of the hardware, the network or the server or workstation, maybe it's just not possible to really upgrade those as much as you'd like to, then the fallback is to make smaller layouts. Instead of having a magazine that is 32 pages, divvy it up into two 16 pages or four-eight page files, and then let the editors open up the individual smaller InDesign files.
A lot of people are already doing that. Especially if you're an InDesign user working over the network, very likely you'll find that it's just easier to work with smaller files. Another thing is to make sure to use the layout-based workflow for smaller teams. You might have one big monster project that 30 people work on it once and that might be perfect for an assignment- based workflow, but for the smaller documents, the things where you just have one or two designers and maybe one or two or four or five editors, use that just for a strictly layout-based workflow.
So make some strategic decisions based on the size of the document and the size of the teams working on that document. And another thing that you might want to try is create a workflow that's a little bit more linear than parallel, meaning instead of having a bunch of people opening up at once, sort of step through it. For example, the designer creates a first proof of the design and exports those stories and empty text frames to InCopy format, lets the editor know "okay, it's ready for you to work on, you have the next week to work on it," and then the designer works on something else.
So, you don't have both the designer and the editor opening up the same layout at the same time. That might make it a little faster and then when the editor is done, then they ping the designer and say, "okay, I'm going to work on this project" and then the designer can just work on it on their own. You still always want to work off the server but sometimes it's a little faster if you just have one or two people opening up the same layout concurrently as opposed to 8 or 10 or 12. I've been using and teaching the InDesign and InCopy workflow since CS1 though and I can tell you that with every new version, the layout-based workflow has become easier and easier, because I think just computers and connections have become faster and cheaper as time has gone on.
So, there are many people with production teams of 5, 10 or 20 people working on the same publication, at the same time they're doing perfectly fine with the layout-based workflow.

Wanda Café Optimista
This has got to be the prettiest café I have ever seen. Wanda Café Optimista is located in Madrid and was designed by Parolio. After the recent years, of recession in Madrid, Parolio wanted to design a place that communicates the opposite: projecting vitality, joy, color and a positive outlook on life. The idea is that when you enter Wanda you enter the emotional universe of vacations, summer, Surf and everything positive you feel on these fun days of the year. Inside Wanda it's always sunny, there is always a good vibe. That description alone would have me stopping in. The pastel colours with pops of neon, all of the really cute patterned pillows and the amazing pattern on the bar make this such a happy place, where you would never want to take your last sip of coffee.

"Almost to much fun!
Yes, that's right! This game is almost to much fun. I'm NOT an avid gamer, but this one is a complete blast to play. If you are not savvy at the turn based games, don't fear! You will understand this one. I haven't put it down in hours."

Customer Reviews
solid, entertaining, lots of replay value
This is a very nice update on the classic mechanics of Chinese Checkers and the game play overall is fun, challenging, and won't get old. The only downsides are: First, the graphics were just "blown up" for the iPad instead of actually reformatting to take advantage of the extra real estate and finer resolution of the iPad. Seriosly, it's as if the developer just "locked" the iPhone version in 2x mode.
Second, the board should be rotatable with your fingers to pan the camera around to any angle, instead of just two angles you toggle between with a button. The lack of camera control other than just zoom and two views just feels like a chintzy Flash game instead of an iPad game.
Despite the flaws, the gameplay is engaging and won't get old, so it seems worth the price.

Respect Asotin County is in its second year of trying to get Home Rule and initiative-referendum rights for its citizens. After successfully obtaining enough signatures earlier this year, members of the group were able to place Proposition One on the ballot. If citizens vote yes for the proposition this November, elected freeholders will be established to draft a county charter. The charter would essentially be a written set of guidelines by which the county government must abide by. It would also give citizens the right to initiative and referendum rights.
For members of Respect Asotin County, Tuesday night's public meeting was another important stepping stone mere months before the election. While it was only an informational question and answer session, getting their message understood by the public is something that's imperative according to group members because of recent events.
"In my personal opinion it's sabotage," said Asotin County resident Rick Larson. "Why would they wait until now? Fifty-forty days before the election?"
What Larson is referring to is the newly formed group, Citizens for Better Government. The group proposes a similar plan to what Respect Asotin County has done. Get a proposition on the ballot that would elect freeholders to draft a charter. The difference is that Citizens For Better Government want a charter that would eliminate the three separate governments of the City of Clarkston, City of Asotin and Asotin County and create one unified city-county government.
"Someone needs to have one of them come out in the public and explain why they waited," said Larson. "And get it cleared so the citizens of Asotin County have something to draw off of and make a decision."
Other group members like freeholder candidate Rebecca Nourse even said Citizens For Better Government members are trying to get elected as Proposition One freeholders to sabotage the Respect Asotin County Charter.
"Somebody mentioned you know, what about these saboteurs because I know a couple people who signed up for the 43, and I wouldn't vote, well I'm not going to vote for them," said Nourse.
When asked if co-chair Rick Rogers would try to keep Respect Asotin County going if the proposition is voted down, he and other members said no.
"The voters have had the opportunity to watch this whole process for two years," said Roger. "If the voters vote it down at this point then the voters will have spoken and that's all we've been after from the very beginning."
Rogers and his fellow members of Respect Asotin County, hope that it doesn't come down to that.
There was a meeting Wednesday night for the Citizens for Better Government at 6:30 p.m. at the Asotin County Library.
Respect Asotin County will meet again on October 18th, 7 p.m. at the Grange Hall in the Clarkston Heights.

Just wondering if either the Dillon 550/650 or the Hornady Lock-n-Load can be changed/adjusted to suit left hand operators? I'm left handed, and I had surgery on my right shoulder so it is not as strong. Is it possible to operate these progressive press handles left handed? Thank you.

Your Daily Intel Editors Are Characters in 'Definitely, Maybe'!
Last night, we went to the Ziegfeld premiere of the movie Definitely, Maybe. It's that movie where Ryan Reynolds tells his daughter (Abigail Breslin) about all the women he's loved over the years. Now, we won't give away the ending, because that would be sort of like telling you what happens in the final episode of the show How I Met Your Mother. Okay, it would be exactly like that. So, anyway, one of the characters that Reynolds dates in the course of his storytelling is a lovely young writer, played by Rachel Weisz. She's struggling to make it, and on her second meeting with Reynolds (at a book party for her literary-legend ex-boyfriend), he asks her what she's been up to lately. And she replies, wait for it
I'm writing these really dumb items for New York Magazine while waiting for my big break to come.If you were sitting in the Ziegfeld Theater last night, at that very moment you would have heard — from the far reaches of the back of the audience — an audible shriek. That was us. Definitely, Maybe [Official site]

Cost is dropping as automation kicks in
Apple has every incentive to improve costs on this type of recycling. If they can recycle their product better than anyone else because they have invested the time, money and effort into doing this, then everyone saves. So often in tech people only look at ego boosting improvements, when it is the incremental improvements that really make a difference in the long run. Building a junk yard that breaks down products that you are already getting back through good warranty practices gives companies a chance to build up a new cash flow chain. Many junk yards have piles of metal that it was not economical for them to sort, but which are now mined for materials when prices get higher on the spot market. Modern Junkyards have a huge conveyor belt systems which uses lasers to find a particular metal and blasts of air to push off the scrap that has been identified into the proper bin. The only manual labor is the effort to shovel or scoop the piles of old mixed metals into the system and to watch for jams or other problems with the system.
The article above describes a robot that is going to improve the speed and cost of breaking down old iPhones. The energy used will drop over time as improvements are made to the process.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady restructures contract
|03.21.12 at 11:28 pm ET
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has restructured his contract.
Brady, who signed a four-year, $72 million extension in September 2010, was initially scheduled to make $5.75 million in base salary with a $6 million roster bonus and $250,000 workout bonus this season. Under the new agreement (first reported by Brian McIntyre of Mac's Football Blog), Brady's base salary was reduced to a fully guaranteed $950,000, with the remaining difference ($4.8 million) combined with the roster bonus and converted into a $10.8 million signing bonus that will be prorated over the three remaining years on Brady's contract.
By restructuring Brady's deal, the Patriots freed up $7.2 million in cap space.
This is not the first time Brady has restructured his deal. In the spring of 2007, he reworked his deal to allow for more cap flexibility when it came to adding wide receiver Randy Moss. On that occasion, Brady initially had a base salary of $6 million, but the quarterback and the Patriots did some shuffling, and redid the deal so Brady received a signing bonus of $5.28 million and had his base salary reduced to $720,000.

Oxford BioMedica and AGI Therapeutics Push On with Drugs That Failed Phase III Trials
Firms retain confidence in TroVax in various cancer settings and Rezular in GI-related indications.!--h2>
Oxford BioMedica and AGI Therapeutics separately confirmed plans to continue development of candidates that did not fare as well as expected in Phase III trials.
In July of this year Oxford BioMedica confirmed receipt of final comments from the FDA, following the agency's review of the Phase III TRIST study and the company's proposed clinical development outline for TroVAx. The agency supported its proposal to pursue clinical development of TroVax in metastatic disease including colorectal, ovarian, hormone refractory prostate cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer prior to further trials in renal cancer. The agency also noted that in these indications, there tends to be less evidence of abnormal levels of platelets and other hematological parameters that could potentially impact adversely on the immune response to TroVax.

Private Prisons Spend Millions to Put More People in Jail
Andrea Nill-Sanchez: In Arizona, 30 of the 36 legislators who co-sponsored the state's controversial immigration law that would undoubtedly put more immigrants behind bars received campaign contributions from private prison lobbyists or companies.
The Death of Public Service
Steve Hochstadt: Republican governors across the country argue that teachers and police and all the other employees of local and state governments make much too much money.
Ten Thousand Shovels, Ten Thousand Buckets!
Steve Ybarra: Let us get serious here. If BP was interested in doing the right thing, it wouldn't take them over a month to get started fixing the damage caused by their greed. Meanwhile they have allowed the continuous destruction of the entire East Coast and Gulf Coast, including all fishing and sea-related industries. Indirectly, I am impacted, because the price of California fish just went up through the roof.
Defense Secretary Wants Defense Spending Cuts–Really
Tina Dupuy: Going largely underreported, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke at the Eisenhower Library (name for the president who coined the term "military-industrial complex"), last week calling for cuts in the Pentagon's budget. Gates asked, "Does the number of warships we have and are building really put America at risk when the U.S. battle fleet is larger than the next 13 navies combined, 11 of which belong to allies and partners? "
Senators, Thanks For Reminding Us Why We Don't Like You
If Washington is the place where "good ideas go to die," as candidate Obama liked to say, then the Senate is the slaughterhouse. This white millionaires' club where the biggest egos on Earth tell us how goddamn important they are has just screwed the middle class in this country — a middle class that is reeling after years of being beaten down by these Senators' masters in private industry.

Not all that impressed with RE:UC after about an hour with it. Surprisingly so. I really liked MOH:H2 arcade mode and Ghost Squad, which I had been playing before that. Maybe I need more time with it, I guess.
i'm hoping house of the dead will come at the same price as re4 (30 maybe 40 dollars). great game as it is, we shouldn't be forced to pay 50 bucks for a graphically-challenged retro arcade shooter. unless there's campaign mode. or online play. LAWL.
