New home fits, historically speaking
Strangers have stopped by Kent and Stephanie Williams home to ask about the history of the farmhouse. Its easy to image that a pioneering family lived in the Central Whidbey house more than a century ago, perhaps plowing the prairie for the first time.
The visitors are surprised the learn that the simple, vernacular-designed farmhouse and chicken-house-styled garage are new.
But the Williams are thrilled by the misunderstanding. They wanted their dream home on Blockhouse Road, designed by Langley architect Ross Chapin, to fit into the historic character of Ebeys Landing National Historic Reserve.
This is farmland. This has been a hay field for decades, Stephanie said, motioning to the tall grass that surrounds the home. It cries out for something that fits in.
For their effort in building something that fits in, reserve officials recently gave the Williams a 5-star award for historic preservation in the new construction category. Its a timely award since May in National Preservation Month.
Reserve Manager Rob Harbour said the awards are meant recognize the people who make the extra effort, and spend considerable sums of money, to maintain the historic integrity of the reserve.
Today, most of the historic buildings and lands within the 25-square-mile reserve are owned by individuals. Its up to them to maintain the historic character of the reserve.
The purpose is to pause and take note of the good things that are happening, Harbour said, and note the property owners who are good stewards of the historic reserve.
A committee that included the Coupeville Design Review Board, Trust Board of Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve, National Park Service staff, and the Island County Historic Review Committee developed a long list of recent outstanding projects. They chose winners using the Secretary of Interiors standards as a guide.
In addition to the Williams, five other property owners were honored at a ceremony last week.
l Wilbur and Karen Bishop also received an award for new construction of loafing sheds. The structures were built with traditional materials, sited to augment the existing farm cluster and landscape.
The design of this building respects the historic landscape along with providing cow comfort, said Marshall Bronson, chairman of the Trust Board.
l Bill and Jan Skubi won a landscaping award for a South Main Street residence. They used native plants, established a hedgerow, preserved a pear tree and build a split-rail fence.
The landscaping is respectful of the simple architectural style of their home and establishes a favorable expectation for visitors entering town, Bronson said.
l Bob and Beulah Whitlow won a preservation award for their work on the historic Crockett Barn, which included in-kind roofing and siding material.
Like the pioneer Crockett Family who built the house and barn, the Whitlows are, in a sense, pioneers, Bronson said, because they saw the beauty and value in a group of run down buildings that were at the end of their useful life and worked hard to turn them into a wonderful bed and breakfast facility.
l Marshall and Judy English won a rehabilitation award for preserving the architectural integrity of a historic Ninth Street residence while building an addition.
The final product is a historic building that serves the needs of a modern family, and retains its original scale and character, Bronson said.
l Blain and Julie Kuykendall received a restoration award for restoring the Broadway Street farm house by accurately reestablishing historic features.
They have removed non-traditional siding to expose the original siding, Bronson said, and replaced windows with a style more in keeping with a simple farmhouse.
l Tom Asthmus and Mitch Richards of Seattle Pacific University received the coveted stewardship award for purchasing the Fort Casey Inn and using good preservation technology to preserve the complex of buildings at Camp Casey.
The purchase of the Fort Casey Inn reunites the cluster and ensures consistency as these historic properties continue to be maintained, Bronson said.
The reserve was created in 1978 by a special act of Congress with the intention of preserving the historic landscape as it was more than a century ago, when famous New England sea captains settled the land of Central Whidbey.

Christmas is a time of tradition and reflection, but when the Cumberland County Historical Society invites their guests to reflect on Christmases past, they're talking about a bit further back than usual.
Peace on earth and goodwill toward men was hard to find in America in the early 1860s. But even while the bloody Civil War raged, people found the time and the hope to celebrate. The Civil War Christmas exhibit at the Cumberland County Historical Society Museum includes several glimpses of the holiday traditions from this era, and examines how familiar Christmas pastimes such as caroling, decorating trees, and giving presents were affected by the war — not even Santa Claus was exempt from alterations.
More information about the various attractions of the Cumberland County Historical Society Museum and Library can be found online.
WHEN: 4-8 p.m. Mondays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays through Jan. 6 (closed Dec. 24, 25, 31 and Jan. 1)
WHERE: Cumberland County Historical Society Museum, 21 North Pitt St., Carlisle

Sprint (S -2.5%) opens lower thanks to a downgrade to Underperform from Baird, which is worried about competition. Meanwhile, MetroPCS (PCS -6.5%) which tumbled yesterday after the terms of the T-Mobile merger failed to go over well, is falling more following a downgrade to Reduce from Nomura, which doesn't see T-Mobile fixing the carrier's problems. Mobile analyst Henry Wang agrees. "Being No. 4 in this very competitive market is no fun ... AT&T and Verizon can better procure the handsets that people want, and keep costs down as well."

indeed, the wireless provider first has to decide how much they are going to pay the manufacturer (e.g. Apple, Samsung). VZ and ATT have better negotiating power in this realm, which helps keep their costs down (think, increased margins per handset / new contract), and also get a bit more exclusivity with non-Apple makers like Samsung and LG.
Handset cost for TMO has been high as they used to use quite special frequency for 3G called AWS. AWS was not used by ATT or Verizon for 3G.

If I went into nursing, I'd win some sort of prize because I have discovered how colds are transferred from one person to another without sneezing or wheezing or dripping or blowing.
By phone. That's right, folks, by phone. If you should happen to get a call from your daughter or you call her and she's pulling all those cold-related tricks, hang up. Don't even say bye, just hang up.
I haven't had a cold in years, and suddenly, after a call to my daughter in Denver, I turned into a mouth breather. You know, breathing through my mouth because my nose won't work.
OK, it could have been the cold, snowy weather, but I much prefer to think my daughter and I are in sync enough to have colds at the same time. There's nothing else to do except hunker down in my recliner with all sorts of warm blankets. Such a tactic doesn't hurt at all, because I'm pretty good at doing nothing in favor of sitting in my recliner.
Several years ago my friend Paulette made me a fleece cape, which I've trained, much like my afghan, to sit on the floor by my feet when I'm in the recliner. That way I don't even have to get up to get warm. One night instead of wearing it as a cape, I spread it and used it like a blanket. Now, most times when I'm tucked in well, my nose starts to itch or I start coughing, which necessitates dragging my hand from under the blanket. Of course, that happened, so I lifted my hand and it went out the hole in the cape where my head would have been. Just as if it had been planned.
I laughed. Of course I laughed and continued the hand projection time after time to make certain it was more than a fluke. Now, although it may be the height of laziness, I don't even have to pull the blanket, or cape in this case, off to scratch my nose.
On a different note, isn't fluke a funny word? Fluke. A flatfish, a worm or a chance. That's quite an array of objects using the same word for a name.
Fluke, the chance, could also be described as an unexpected stroke of good luck. If so, then a fluke it was last week when I found everything I've been saving for months to send my daughter for Christmas. Some of it not as gifts, just stuff I wanted her to have so I could get it out of my house.
Another fluke when I picked up two flat-rate boxes from the post office. Seems I needed both. When I discovered that, I rummaged through my pantry shelves to find every bottled pepper or spicy thing I've been keeping for her, wrapped them well and put them in the boxes.
It's that get-your-moneys-worth syndrome. If it's allowed and possible, do it. That's why I've quit eating at buffets. Well, for the most part I've quit eating at buffets.
It would be a real fluke if I quit completely.
So long friends, until the next time when we're together.

Husband's love conquered all
On March 17, my husband Rick and I celebrated our 16th anniversary. I couldnt think of anything more fitting than to honor Rick for all he has done for me. You see hes really a very exceptional man and I believe a true God-send.
In 1996, I was separated and ready for a divorce when I received the news, after being misdiagnosed for over nine years, that indeed the lump under my right armpit was breast cancer. My then-estranged husband, while managing our 24/7-day-a-week business, began burning the midnight oil studying to try to save my life. He successfully completed all the requirements to be certified as a nutritional herbalist and vitalist (someone who helps the body heal itself) and he received me back home.
My oncologist had stated that at best, with chemotherapy and even a bone marrow transplant, my life would not be extended that much beyond six months. With the doctors signature to that, our life insurance company cashed out our policy, giving us an accelerated death benefit. We retired early to travel and be with friends and family. Rick even let me give money away, as I wanted to make a difference that I could see while I was alive.
After over six months went by, I went to the University of Washington Physicians for extensive blood work to find all cancer markers in the normal range and blood appearing perfectly healthy. I believe my husbands research, nurturing, forgiveness, generosity and prayers have kept me here to share this story to encourage others. We have overcome separation, divorce and outlived a terminal diagnosis by three years so far by the power of unselfish, unconditional love, along with the power of prayer. We have begun our lives over, teaching others how to cleanse and nutriate their bodies and relationships.
In my eyes, Rick stands next to the one who answered his prayers as my earthly husband and hero a true servant of God and a man to be emulated by all.
Happy 16th anniversary, honey. Im proud to carry your last name.

Plain Dealer columnist Regina Brett today took the Cleveland Clinic to task for waffling between taking the lead on smoking prevention and its friendship with the governor.
"The money the governor wants to grab was designated to help smokers quit and keep people from starting," she writes today. "The future of those programs isn't the only thing at stake. The very lives of Ohioans are. And so is the credibility of those afraid to speak up to save them."
It's Brett's second column in a week about the battle over Ohio's tobacco settlement money. Last week, she urged the governor to take Dr. Michael Roizen's advice and keep the settlement money with the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation, instead of using it for a jobs program.
The state and tobacco foundation appear in court Thursday.
Today, she got the first word from Roizen since he called the governor "stupid" over the plan to raid almost all of the $270 million in tobacco money.
This week, Roizen risked talking to me to say he understands the governor's quest to create jobs but pointed out tobacco use costs businesses and government nearly $6,500 per smoker a year in health care and productivity. Reduce smoking and you lower the cost of doing business in Ohio, he said.
Roizen wants to see smoking wiped out the same way polio was. He believes it can be if people combine nicotine replacement, anti-craving medication and behavioral changes. But too many Ohioans lack health insurance to cover all three.

"Everything I learned about life I learned from my parents. But oddly my two cats reiterate these lessons almost daily. Reeses and Indiana obviously aren't aware they are doing anything useful for me nor do they care, but they are. I know, I know it sounds like bologna, some kind of spinster handbook with a cringe-inspiring title Meow My Cats and I. But in between the moments of frustration with them, I have learned quite a bit. If you absolutely hate cats, just replace the feline references with guinea pig. Here are the highlights. Tolerance. Reeses was an only kitty for more than a year before I brought a new baby home. Indiana could fit in the palm of my hand and exuded a cuteness that only a two-month old kitten can. I figured since she was a defenseless fur ball, Reeses' mothering instincts would override her disdain for the new addition. I figured wrong. For months Reeses hissed at the mere scent of Indiana and treated me with hostility. But over time, she accepted the new cat. Now they play together and oftentimes nap on the same piece of furniture. So when life throws you fur balls, hissing and hiding under bed won't help. Embrace life's challenges and changes. Determination. Driving from Dallas to Poulsbo is hard enough, but add two freaked out cats and the trip can be unbearable. For 8-10 hours a day Reeses would yowl. When the car stopped moving that's when the other one would chime in. They were determined to let me know what a horrible time they were having and I was determined not to let my urge to dump them at the side of the road overtake me. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger and wiser. Patience. Next time I will FedEx the cats to their new home. The toughest lesson yet. I am not one to sit around and wait, but Indiana taught me that waiting, rather than springing into action, can produce results just as well. When I first moved here, my apartment was surrounded by the tallest trees I had ever seen in a complex. I had gotten in the habit of letting the cats outside to romp. One night Reeses came in, but Indiana disappeared. I went outside and called for her and she answered from the roof of the two-story building. For hours I debated whether to call the fire department. The helpless cat howled at me to take action. I had visions of firefighters laughing at me and my landlord kicking me out. Rather than face certain humiliation, I waited... and waited... and waited. Eventually the cat jumped down, no harm done. Waiting for a solution to appear is more effective than actions that create more problems. And finally, the most important lesson of all is the simplest. Love. The cats don't care if I don't have money to buy them fancy toys, a ball of paper is just fine. They don't mind when I am in a bad mood or wear sweats all day. And they'll never remind me that I gained a few pounds over the holidays. When I am upset they comfort me with purrs and cuddles. Need I say more? And when the cats are running around in the middle of the night, mistake the new bath mat for a litter box, scratch up my furniture, rub hair all over my black pants just before I walk out the door, climb all over me at 7 a.m. Saturday morning or find a new way to annoy me I will remember these lessons. Tolerance. Determination. Patience. Love. "

The more assets the Patriots lose this season, the better they seem to play.
New England entered Week 3 of Tom Brady's four-game "Deflategate" suspension down to just one healthy full-time quarterback following backup Jimmy Garoppolo's shoulder injury last week against Miami.
But not even one of the NFL's top-ranked defenses could slow down a Patriots train that has barely missed a beat while getting off to a 3-0 start.
The latest exhibition was a 27-0 dismantling of the Houston Texans (2-1), a team that suddenly looked very pedestrian.
"We really asked a lot out of the team this week — they responded," Patriots coach Bill Belichick...

Monday was the first day of the fall session of the House of Assembly. No doubt, it is the first day for catcalls, shouted insults and the general belittlement that is a regular feature of our legislature.
Monday was also an opportune day for this provincial government news release: "The provincial government is planning to strengthen the way the education system reports, and responds to, incidents of bullying and aggressive behaviours among students and is providing opportunities for input and feedback through a consultative process which begins this week.
"'Earlier this year, our government committed to consulting with groups and individuals who have insight and expertise into issues around bullying to discuss potential changes to policies, protocols, and legislation,' said the Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Education. 'Those consultations are set to begin this week, with a focus group session to be held with the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of School Councils on Friday, November 23. It will be followed next week with sessions in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Labrador City for Labrador School District personnel, principals, teachers, school council chairs and parent representatives, as well as intermediate and high school students.'
"'As a government, we place significant emphasis on acquiring input directly from Newfoundlanders and Labradorians,' said the Honourable Keith Hutchings, Minister of Innovation, Business and Rural Development and Minister Responsible for the Office of Public Engagement. 'We believe that through focused dialogue with key audiences, and utilizing online resources to reach as many people as possible, we can better develop programs and policies which have an impact on all segments of our society.'
"'With an issue like this, with such widespread implications, we are determined to hear from as many people as possible — especially students and parents, who are most affected by bullying, harassment and intimidation,' said Minister Jackman. 'For that reason, we are posting consultation materials online and encouraging all interested groups, agencies, and individuals to offer their comments and suggestions.'
"'Violence, harassment and intimidation have no place in our schools, or in our society,' Minister Jackman said."
Well said, Minister Jackman — now, let's see if you and Minister Hutchings can prevail not only on those in schools, but upon the members of your own caucus, the couple of handfuls of members of the House of Assembly who often seem to be honourable in name only. By all means, harassment and intimidation have no place in our schools or in our society — and that society, of course, includes the House itself.
Why not commit to halting name-calling, bullying, harassment and intimidation in a portion of society as small as the membership of the House, if for no other reason than to set a good example for the scores of school-aged children who sit through House sessions every year?
If you can't manage it yourselves, how do you ever expect to move your "consultative process" forward in the world at large?

HALIFAX — Two men accused of confining and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in North Preston outside Halifax are due in court on Monday.
Police say two 18-year-old men have been charged with unlawful confinement, sexual assault and human trafficking.
The girl told police she was confined in a basement in a building on Clarence Street for two days before she escaped late Thursday.
Cpl. Scott MacRae says officers were called to the neighbourhood around 9 p.m. to investigate a report of shots being fired.
He says officers could find no evidence of a shooting, but found the girl who alleged that she had been threatened and held against her will.
Police say the two suspects, who are from North Preston, are also charged with sexual interference.

AMHERST - The Amherst Police Department was recently honored for its work promoting traffic safety in the community.
The department, led by Chief Scott P. Livingstone, was presented an award of excellence in the gold category for municipal police departments that participated in the annual Massachusetts Law Enforcement Challenge.
The department was recognized along with the Massachusetts State Police and 19 other police agencies from across the state. This is the fourth year the department has been recognized by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and its traffic safety efforts received the first place award in 2010 based on the department's 2009 data.
The Massachusetts Law Enforcement Challenge is a competitive award program that recognizes police departments across the state for their efforts to reduce motor vehicle-related fatalities, injuries and economic loss in communities by combining traffic enforcement with public information and education.
The Massachusetts Law Enforcement Challenge is modeled after the National Law Enforcement Challenge presented annually by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
The Amherst Police Department was judged in six separate categories: Policy and Guidelines, Officer Training, Incentives and Recognition, Public Education and Information, Enforcement Activity and Effectiveness of Effort.
This year's award is based on the department's 2010 data and accomplishments.
In 2010, officers from the Amherst Police Department arrested 110 people for operating under the Influence, issued 724 citations for speeding and issued 130 seatbelt violations, six of which involved child safety seat violations.
In the same year, the department investigated 748 motor vehicle crashes, 108 of which resulted in personal injury.
In 2010, the department did not investigate one fatal motor vehicle collision, which police say is directly linked to their proactive enforcement efforts.

As a nurse practitioner with 20 years of experience delivering primary care, I agree with Dr. Bruce Macleod's statement that nurse practitioners are essential and valued members of a health care team, and we contribute a "great deal to the well-being of patients."
I have experienced this, working in collaboration with some phenomenal physicians, and believe that it is the best model.
However, I also believe that a well-educated nurse practitioner is able to coordinate and lead a health care team.
I take issue with his statistic that a nurse practitioner has 500 to 720 hours of training. I was fortunate to receive both my undergraduate degree and my master's degree from institutions which emphasized clinical hours, so that upon receiving my certification I had close to 2,000 hours of clinical training.
He is correct in stating that we have less clinical training than a physician. We are not physicians, nor do we want to be. We are, first of all, nurses — trained in both the "how" and the "why."
To quote Florence Nightingale, who was ahead of her time, "It is often thought that medicine is the curative process. It is no such thing; medicine is the surgery of functions .... Surgery removes the bullet out of the limb, which is an obstruction to cure, but nature heals the wound. ... What nursing has to do ... is put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him."

Williamsburg is one of the most exciting and popular neighborhoods in New York these days — on either side of the East River. Starting in the mid to late 1990s, artists — the early adopters of the gentrification cycle — who found themselves priced out of Manhattan started flocking to the area. Low rents, large loft spaces in converted warehouses, and the proximity to the Lower East Side and Greenwich Village made the neighborhood an attractive option.
The section of Williamsburg that has seen the most new development over the last 10 years — from S. Sixth Street to N. 11th Street and from Bedford Avenue to the East River — was primarily a commercial and industrial zone comprised of large factories and warehouses full of DIY loft spaces. Artists, hipsters and recent college graduates flocked to this slice of Brooklyn for the aforementioned cheap rents and large spaces, and created a neighborhood with a tremendous cache for innovative art spectacles, late-night dance parties and amazing food. Once the waterfront was rezoned for residential development, a massive construction boom began to reshape the area, with luxury high rises like The Edge and Northside Piers — and the impending Domino Sugar Factory complex — the result.
From its somewhat humble beginnings as a refuge for artists and a home to distinct Polish, Dominican, Puerto Rican and Hasidic communities, Williamsburg has become a destination for New York's most wealthy and trendsetting renters and buyers. There are still deals to be found close to the Bushwick, Bed-Stuy and Greenpoint borders; the area near the elevated JMZ lines on Broadway, for example, remains reasonable but is also defined by an older housing stock. However, the heart of the neighborhood, adjacent to the Bedford Avenue L stop, is increasingly defined by new construction condos with a luxury feel.
The new developments in Williamsburg are a high-end renter's dream, offering everything from in-house concierge services, gyms, and recreation rooms, to private cabanas, pools, balconies or outdoor space, and even putting greens. With the new zoning laws governing development along and near the waterfront, many newer buildings in the neighborhood offer unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline.
One bedroom apartments start around $2,500 a month and can rent for as much as $5,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment on a high floor in a luxury high-rise with unobstructed Manhattan views and access to full amenities and extras, such as a video intercom, central air conditioning, high-end stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, radiant heat flooring and a private balcony. Two-bedroom apartments start around $2,500 a month and can run up to $6,000 a month for a luxury building in the part of the neighborhood considered prime.
Yes, 11211 has become the zip code to watch thanks to cutting-edge dining, nightlife and arts venues, with hot spots like the Wythe Hotel, Output and Brooklyn Bowl dominating cultural life in this area. Luckily the neighborhood offers housing opportunities for a variety of budgets, and for those who find themselves priced out, Greenpoint, Bushwick and Bed-Stuy are all easily accessible from the center of the action.

Again gentleman, he was always better then you gave him credit for and the advance stats showed that. Instilled confidence can go a long way along with skill set.
Tense I wouldn't go quite THAT far. He deserves at least some of the blame for the Vinny/DJ relationship. Sure Vinny crushed his confidence time and time again but DJ also made it worse by pouting, not playing hard and flat out not respecting anything Vinny said. All that matters now though is that Doc+DJ= Peaches+Cream lol.
Yes DJ was definitely part of the problem but sometimes it takes the right coach to get 100% out of a player. Doc is an excellent motivator and is well respected by everyone. VDN did not seem to be respected by anyone on this team. They seemed to tune him out a lot of the time.
Agreed, the emphasis is on Vinny to handle the situation being the coach and a mature adult. But if DJ had manned up maybe Vinny would have given him more of a chance.
But also like you say it is all good now. Doc got DJ's number and it has made all the difference. Pheww.
No doubt about it.
Does anyone realize our Deandre Jordan grabbed 18 Rebounds against Dwight Howard the supposed "Best Center in The League" DJ sure is making a name for himself! I AM PROUD OF HIM
Yep. The most rebounds of any player in the NBA that night.
Didn't he also have a huge rebounding effort against GSW as well? You're right that Deandre is finally going to get noticed after these efforts
What a great rebounding test up next for DJ. He took it to Howard, now can he do the same against K Love? Let's go DJ. #GrabEm
It looks like the T-Wolves are for real this year. They might be an 8th seed this year, so we will have our hands full on Monday night.
If Blake keeps him under control he should.
Maybe, but like I said he WAS always better then some people gave him credit for.
Vinny was who he was for better or worse and I think Doc has shown so far what the better approach is. Give him some confidence, more time on the court and let his skill set do the rest.
Why didn't Vinny and DJ get along anyways, what was it all about really?
Was I just the outcome of lack of minutes?
I think it was the Lack of Consistency on the floor and belief. He played the Guy in the First quarter and he'd never see the floor in the 2nd until 4 to 5 minutes to go, and it would be worse in the 4th. Allot of those games DJ played great, so when your doing good and your took out of the game, it plays with your mind and you can get upset.
It's nice to play your bench, but DJ is young and needs time on the court to grow, Doc know's this.
Even if Doc didn't know this, there aren't any options this year behind DJ like in previous seasons with Reggie, Martin and Odom. But he does, and if he had those guys he would still prioritize DJ because he thinks bigger picture. He gets it that going far in the playoffs will depend more on a confident and good DeAndre Jordan than a Reggie Evans, Kenyon Martin or Lamar Odom getting minutes. That's where Vinny got lost. I feel the same thing with Bledsoe and Vinny.
You see Pop how he's quick to give good young players minutes, George Hill, Kawhi Leonard, it is because he gets that the teams potential doesn't increase from maximizing a veteran who you already knows what he gives and will always give that. That player is static, you've exhausted what you can get from him. The teams potential increases by maximizing your young talent.
If Vinny had that vision, Bledsoe would have been playing more SG alongside Paul and about 27 MPG and Jordan would have been playing about 32 MPG and both be allowed to pay through mistakes because maybe the mistakes don't win you 56 games, but it wins you 53-54 games, or maybe the same or more because later in the season they are producing more consistently. Then in addition to that, you have a more attentive, confident and useful player in the post-season.
Agent, sometimes an injury or injuries will force a coaches hand obviously. I think POP had to used Hill more his 1st year due to the injury to Parker. Bledsoe played 1800+ mins his rookie season due to injuries and then was injured the following year. But he should have been on the court a lot more last year. Same goes with DJ not being on the court enough.
Leonard came right out the box his rookie year and played 1500+ mins like you said. POP does when and how to use his vets and rookies that's for sure.
Maybe Doc will be forced to use Reggie due to injuries, but I hope not and he can ease him into to the NBA slowly to boost his confidence.
DJ has looked great so far. Much more under control and he looks committed to doing the fundamental things. I think this is sustainable...
You are correct on that one, Bledsoe did get more of an opportunity as a rookie because Baron and then Mo had injury issues.
I think Vinny was not as flexible as he could have been there, but I would assume the fact that he liked job security also played a role in that.
that's what upset me about VDN. I was never saying play DJ on the 4th automatically but you have to give him chances when he's playing well to play down the stretch.
That's what happened last year. DJ never learned how to play in the 4th and then in the playoff VDN expected him to be a defensive monster
I meant to say "lacked" job security, but yes. I actually didn't hate VDN like some people. I still maintain that he's no worse than the average NBA coach, and he did a good job for his ability as a coach last season. With a guy like DJ though, you can't show no confidence in him then expect him to anchor your defense and produce at a high level when the stakes are high. It is sort of counter-intuitive.
Looking back the best move we made in the off season was not trading DJ for an aging Garnett. Garnett is averaging 6 pts and 6 boards a game while DJ is thriving. Every time the league gets involved we seem to come out on top.
Anyone who isn't biased could see that VDN held Jordan back. We had a great record and he was trying to trade Jordan for KG last year before the trade deadline
Yeah no lie, I was so mad when I heard this story last year. You want to trade a young 6'11 athletic Center for KG who Can't even average a block a game. I love KG but this was the craziest story last and this summer, heck I had to cross my fingers all summer long that we saw the light, good thing the the Owner and GM said no to Vinny, and good thing the League said no this summer, even though Paul Pierce Would have been great, but not if we had to give up DJ, I know it's Early but he's currently top 25 in player Efficiency, top 5 in Rebounding, Blocks, and FG percentage, not worth it.
I was shocked that the Clippers were even considering that trade. And what made me cringe is the so called "experts" claiming that the Clippers were stupid for turning down Kevin Garnet for a second tier center, Deandre Jordan
That was because we were in a win now situation and we needed experience. Anyone who isn't biased knows how bad DJ has been in the playoffs. Didn't Doc want to do the same trade before coming here too?
DJ held himself back. Once he realized he couldn't coast anymore even with the new coach, he was saying all the right things to stay here.
The other reason KG was considered was because he's a mid range shooter. Likely he would be doing all the elbow plays allowing BG to be the primary inside option. I'm proud of the way DJ has played, although he still can't guard stronger dudes inside. His rebounding is awesome and his rim protection is up there. He's still a major liability on the FT line and there's no excuse for that. His FT form looks better than Blake's, yet he's still godawful.
DJ's positives can far exceed his negatives, but he's got to be able to stay in games.
Well hindsight is a glorious thing to be treated with caution.
But yes, with hindsight we certainly can be thankful Stern blocked the move.
Yes because it was DJ's decision to sit himself out on the fourth. It was also DJ's decision to design a simpleton offense that relies on a "stretch four" DJ also planned a defensive scheme that plays a lot of one on one defense on the post and have guards trap constantly while leaving their men to have an easy path to the basket.
Blake's jump shot looked HOT the other night, so I don't see the need for Garnett anywhere. Man Jordan has new life. ANd from what I can see it's gonna last, it's not just a spurt, he's been doing it against all types of teams, so I'm definitely excited.
It's because he's in a system that allows him to impact the game besides having a couple of isolation post for him at the beginning of the game.
This is a great thread and good reminder:). So thankful we didn't trade him although I wouldn't mind Pierce.
I'm a huge Blake fan, but I'm still not sure I trust that jumper. I wish I did. If he nails it with consistency the rest of the season, I'll be sold.
I haven't seen the game. Did he make many?
Don't forget a huge reason for getting KG was also to teach Blake. I'm still happy we didn't do it, but let's be honest, having KG mentor Blake for an entire season would've been better than 3 months at Hakeem's place learning footwork.
DJ has stepped up his game this season, but one thing is still holding him back... free throws. 0-6 in a game isn't good enough
He had a poor game against Minnesota. He let Pek go off and didn't even make a single free throw but if this is his lowest I will take it.
Check out DJ's new This is Sportscenter ad. its pretty funny
DJ has improved a little bit, he has flashed of using his brain. Like the other game, he blocked a shot and tapped it back into play. I was also impressed how he covered KMartin on the last shot. But he still can't guard one one one, against skill centers or power centers. He and blake still can't protect their board.
He's not messing up as bad as before, so I don't mind him as much. But he's faaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from being the center the Clipps need in order to win a chip.
You might add....YET.
BIG SIX! Screw his FT's. I count them as gravy. He racking double doubles. If he gets 18 boards I don't care if his FT goes into the stands. By Feb he will have plays run for him in the post. He backs down guys every now and then Can you imagine him being first option on a pick and roll.
15 pts 9 boards tonight Season 11.8 ppg 12.9 boards. If he hits zero FT's I don't care
Free throws hurt last game but made the ones that counted tonight. Tonight was a underrated game but just against Minnesota he picked up the defense in the second half. Continued strong performance ans not getting down even during rough first half defensive stands like Minny shows he is staying locked into the game. The team overall with him still has work and room to improve.
Against OKC I watched numerous times as a man came into the paint looking to score and DJ's arms are down and he just rolled out the red carpet. This was when he had 0-2 fouls btw. He's a ton better than last year, but hasn't yet developed that consistent intensity and focus. Hopefully Doc continues to stay on him about every possession being critical.
Guys Intensity and focus. Yes he can improve but averaging a double double and 18 boards against D12? It ain't chopped liver.. Numbers like that will make him a contender for most improved player (maybe) 12ppg/13boards is at least alstar consideration. If he hits his FT's maybe 14ppg. He cleans up a lot of the garbage and broken plays and unless you watch closely it's hard to notice but he alters a lot of shots.
If you're measuring defense by how many points the Clippers hold the opposition to, then they'll never be good. Clippers play 98.1 possessions / game, 6th in the league. If the Clippers had a 98.3 Drtg, which is what the Bulls have and third in the league, they would hold their opponents to 96 PPG and would be playing EXCELLENT defense. Indiana with the same defensive efficacy as that would hold their opponent to 90 PPG, but it doesn't mean they are defending better at all. So any talk of defense that starts with opponent PPG without context is already starting on the wrong foot.
Also saying that "the rest of the Clippers are equally as bad" is a bad general statement as it ignores the fact that the starting lineup has been good on defense.
Thanks Agent, I knew his comments didn't sound right but didn't really know why. I can be a bit ignorant when it comes to stats.
Man not only does that hoopsworld guy look like a dweeb but he does not seem to be very knowledgeable when it comes to the Clippers. Don't answer a question about the Clips with such confidence if you aren't well informed .
Not his fault per se. You can't be knowledgeable about every team.
I would like to think that DJ is making progress with his free throws. He's had three horrible games from the line, but the other 7 games, he's been at 50% or better. Is anyone else at least a little encouraged by this?

MOBILE, Alabama--Immerse yourself in the dramatic and detailed world of 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer when the Mobile Museum of Art screens the 2004 film "Girl with a Pearl Earring" on Thursday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m.
The free screening is the centerpiece of this week's "Thursdays at the Museum" program.
Every Thursday, admission to the museum is free, and galleries are open until 9 p.m.
Special presentations, including art-related lectures, films and demonstrations, take place in the evening.
The romantic Oscar-nominated period piece stars Colin Firth as Vermeer, and Scarlett Johansson as his muse, the servant girl Griet.
In the film,the Griet ends up being the subject of Vermeer's famous painting, "Girl with a Pearl Earring," which is housed at The Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis in Holland's capital of The Hague. The gallery is currently closed for renovations, and the painting is traveling to different museums around the world.
The movie is historical fiction based on Tracy Chevalier's bestselling book of the same name. Griet is a fictional character. No one knows for sure who the "Girl" in the painting is.
But Vermeer never met Scarlett Johansson.
The Mobile Museum of Art is located at 4850 Museum Dr. in scenic Langan Park. For more information, visit www.mobilemuseumofart.com or call 251-208-5200.

7,4 sail on ST 104?
Hi there,
I have a ST 104 2006 edition (non-wood). I weigh circa 72 kg and my biggest sail today is a NP Excess 5,9.
Now I want to buy the biggest sail that I can comfortably use on that board and am considering a Loft Sails 7,4, with matching bigger fin (36 cm).
Would that be overdoing it? In other words: how big a sail can the board handle?
Thanks beforehand for your advice.
RE: 7,4 sail on ST 104?
I've used an 6.8 at ~ 82 kg with the stock fin (29) and that went quite well. I think with your weight it should work if you get a larger fin (like you're considering anyway).
RE: 7,4 sail on ST 104?
I use the 2007 wood with a 7.2 V8 and 36 drake slalom pro fin (which came with my isonic 125) and in moderate conditions it's great. When the wind picks up, i can handle my GTX 6.5 a lot longer with 32 cm fin.
So 7.2 is doable, 7.4 can be to big, just try before you buy if its possible!
RE: 7,4 sail on ST 104?
Ths for feedback.
I bit the bullet and bought myself a 7,4 Loftsails O2 with 100% rdm mast, and 36 select s ride to go with it. Considering my weight, lightness of sail handling (no cams) and good light-wind qualities of sail, I bet it will work.
I'm off to Lake Garda next week, so I'll let you know how it went.

Good evening!
Forty percent chance of thunderstorms Wednesday and Wednesday night.
"When the Jaycees held a parade on Broad Street, we needed a permit from the state, because it's a state highway.
"I wouldn't want the fire department to overlook this in case it's necessary for their coin drop.''

Yeah, that's what the city council resolution said.
Better question, rooster.
What happened to the Jaycees?
When the Rainear brothers grew up, Bridgeton decided the Jaycees were no longer needed?

What is stronger right now than the Bridgeton Area Chamber of Commerce?
Well, the Millville Thunderbolt Club is there with them.

A woman called from Northeast Philly.
"Do you have anything to do with animal shelters?''
Well, we're pretty close to the Cumberland County SPCA.
"I have this pure-bred Pug and I work all day and I feel bad about it being home alone, so I'd like to get it a good home,'' she said.
Did you say pure bred?
"Yes, I paid the breeder $400 for it,'' she revealed. "I don't want anything to happen to it and I don't trust the shelters in Philly.''
Yeah, they must be inundated with unwanted dogs.
We took a long shot.
We told her to call the Cumberland County SPCA and talk exclusively to executive director Bev Greco.
The shelter can't accept outside pets, but, we have an idea Bev might have been able to help.
The kicker is, it was a wrong number call.
On Monday, Sept. 9, at 1:30 p.m., at the Cumberland County Library, Mrs. Melody will read, "A Isn't for Fox: An Isn't Alphabet,'' written by Wendy Ulmer.
Ms. Wendy Ulmer uses her book to help children understand the alphabet by using humor.
Mrs. Melody will be starting the school year by helping the preschool/toddler-age children get familiar with the letters of the alphabet.
Each week, the theme will be a new letter.
Every week, children will learn a yoga pose that begins with the letter of the week.
Children will also color the letter of the week and staple them together.
This week, children will learn get familiar with the letter A.
After the story, children will cut and paste apples to an apple tree and learn the yoga poses: Airplane and Alligator.
Furthermore, they will color the letter A for their alphabet books and have apples for snack.
Could Bridgeton Library start an after-school program where city children volunteer to be picked up by bus at an elementary school and brought to the library?
And then dropped off at their homes within the city some two hours later?
Fueled by an after-school program grant that will make them familiar with the library as they grow up?
Could Revive South Jersey help make that happen?
Could the Bridgeton School District make that happen?
Could the Bridgeton Ministerium make that happen?
Could all three together make it happen?

Fourth superior of Saint-Sulpice, Montreal, Canada, b. near Nantes, France, 1636; d. in 1701. He was first a soldier and served as a captain under Marshal Turenne, his bravery eliciting this general's esteem. In 1657 he entered the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice, at Paris, was admitted into the Company, and went to Canada in 1666. There he devoted himself with great ardour to missionary work and, in company with Father Galinée, a fellow Sulpician, made a reconnoitring tour of Lakes Erie and Ontario ; unfortunately, his account of the expedition has been lost. In 1671 Father de Casson succeeded Father de Queylus as superior of the Sulpicians, and while in this position contributed largely to the development of Villemarie (Montreal), planned the laying out of its streets, began the canal known since by the name of Lachine, and moreover, stimulated the energy of the colonists under trying and hazardous circumstances. He wrote a "Histoire du Montreal" (Mémoires de la société historique de Montréal, 1869), and "Récit de ce qui s'est passé au voyage que M. de Courcelles a fait au lac Ontario" (Bibliothèque nationale de Paris, old French supplement, no. 13, 516, 516, fol. 207-218).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Spring Training Prospect Report: Red Sox, Pirates and more
I was at Jet Blue Park yesterday to watch the Pirates-Red Sox — it was a little light on Top 20 prospects, but a pair from the Red Sox' list did see action. Again, rankings in parentheses.
Jackie Bradley Jr. (2) went 0-for-1 with two walks. Our own Ian Browne did an outstanding job in his feature on JBJR.
Jose Iglesias (6) went 0-for-2 with a walk. But the guy can play a little shortstop.
The Pirates didn't have any Top 20 guys in action, though I did get to glimpse Gregory Polanco (4), who made the trip. He didn't play, but he did take BP. The young man is big. When he fills out, watch out. I'll be talking to Polanco and fellow Pirates prospect Alen Hanson in the next couple of days. I also was impressed by Phillip Irwin (even wrote a note about him). He's an under-the-radar type who's been impressive this spring.
You can see all of MLB.com's coverage of prospects (and there's plenty this time of year) on MLBPipeline.com.
Recently, I talked to several scouts about who has stood out in big league camp in the early going. Some quick notes, keeping in mind that this is just a smattering and not comprehensive (so don't get made there isn't a note about how good Oscar Taveras is):
- Twins' prospects Eddie Rosario and Aaron Hicks were playing extremely well. Hicks "looked like a big leaguer" and Rosario was swinging a very good bat for Team Puerto Rico.
- Phillies lefty Adam Morgan didn't have good results in his first outing, but did in his second. In both, his stuff was good across the board.
- The Royals' Yordano Ventura was creating a lot of early buzz in Arizona.
- Addison Russell of the A's looked like he belonged in big league camp
- The D-backs' Adam Eaton had his tools on display as he continues to exceed expectations.
- Javier Baez of the Cubs may have learned a thing or two over the offeason in terms of staying in control. He appears to have calmed down his game a bit, for hte better.
- Michael Wacha of the Cardinals is impressing with his secondary stuff and his command.
- The Angels' Kaleb Cowart has played well in his first big league camp, showing nice poise at the plate and strong defensive skills at third.
- The Tigers' Avisail Garcia is a big kid that can run and has man strength.
- The Pirates' Gerritt Cole (and this was before his six K's against Spain) has a gig power arm with life through the zone.
- The Rays' Wil Myers keeps you on the edge of your seat. Exudes confidence in the box with 80 batspeed.
- Chris Archer of the Rays has always had dominant frontline type stuff, and continues to show it. He also has good poise on the mound. Even stronger physically than last year.
Spring Training Prospect Report
Or STPR for short. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
I'm in Florida now for a two-week stretch and it's like a gold mine for us prospect fans. Especially this early and especially with the World Baseball Classic, prospects are and will get a lot of playing time in Grapefruit League action.
My goal is to give updates regularly here on B3 about the players I get to see. When I can, I'll also wrinkle in some opinions from scouts about prospects in big league camps in general. so lets get this thing started, shall we?
Yesterday (Tuesday) was my first game and I took in the Rays-Twins game. There were prospects-aplenty, with both the Rays' and the Twins' Top 20s well-represented (rank in team top 20 in parentheses):
Will Myers (1): Started in RF, went 1-for-2 with a walk. He told me he's really working on turning on the ball so he can tap into his power to the pull side more consistently.
Hak-Ju Lee (5): Came into the game and played shortstop, went 1-for-2 with a run scored. Drove in the tying run with an infield single, stole second and third and scored during the five-run Rays' 8th.
Mike Montgomery (8): The lefty who came in the James Shields trade tossed a scoreless eighth inning, allowing one hit and one walk (Keep an eye out today for a story I wrote about him).
Joe Benson (13): Benson started in center and hit lead off as he competes with others for the spot. He went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run scored.
Much, much more to come. Today, I'm at the Pirates-Red Sox. Jackie Bradley Jr.'s starting in center for the Red Sox and I see that Gregory Polanco is on the travel roster for the Pirates.
Getting back into the swing of things
By now, I'm hoping most of you realize that when I say "I'll be back tomorrow with draft-related stuff," I'm speaking figuratively.
I'm down in Ft. Myers currently and will spend the next 10 days covering Spring Training, giving our hard-working beat writers a chance to catch their breaths. But while I'm technically on big-league duty, rest assured that we'll be on full-fledged prospect watch. I'm sure I'll mix in some stories on Minor Leaguers along the way. I'm going to do my best to link to 'em on here and also throw up a "prospect of the day" based on players I'll see.
But back to that earlier promise about Draft-related stuff. In case you haven't seen it yet, we've started up our coverage of the 2010 Draft. We've posted 21 Draft Reports (thanks to UnderArmour for their support) to date, all with information gathered from talking to scouts, complete with video. You can check them out here. Check back weekly as we'll be updating it weekly.
This year, I'm doing weekly features to accompany them. There've been two so far: SoCal HS outfielder Austin Wilson and Virginia Tech RHP Jesse Hahn. So be sure to check them out.
I did promise some Bryce Harper info last time. Well, to be honest, there's not a whole lot to report. His College of Southern Nevada team has just started conference play and last I checked, it was the top-rated junior college squad in the nation (OK, I just checked now). He started off slow, but has settled in a bit. He's leading his team in homers, RBIs and slugging. To be fair, he's feasted some off some of the lesser lights pitching-wise on the junior college scene. And I've had scouts tell me he's still having some issues with his approach at the plate, getting out front too quickly. Still, keep in mind how young he is and how much pressure there is (yes, I know, he put much of it on himself, but that doesn't make it easier). I'm taking a wait-and-see approach to see how he continues to make adjustments and show improvement. As always, I'll update on him and other top Draft prospects right here as the spring unfolds.
For now, if you've got questions for prospects I might be seeing, leave them in comments and I'll try to get answers. Tomorrow, I've got the Yankees @ Twins, so ask away.
Has it been that long?
Day 1 of my three-week journey through the West Coast of Florida today. I was looking at my blog and I gasped audibly (seriously, the folks in the press box thought I was having a stroke). Has it really been that long since I've posted???
Don't think I've been slacking or been lazy. Quite the contrary, it's been busier than all get out in B3 land. Just to give you an idea, I'm providing a visual aid to give you an idea of what life has been like.
In case you haven't noticed, we started up the Draft Reports a couple of weeks ago. Sixteen reports in total to date. They get posted every Thursday, so keep checking it out as we let everyone know about the best the 2009 draft class has to offer. In case you were curious, Stephen Strasburg is pretty good. Another 14 K's on Friday — gives him 59 K's in 27 1/3 IP for the year.
We've also been busy helping others with their blogs. We here at B3 are nothing if not selfless. We're shooting for 30 Minor League blogs — one for each organization — by the time the season gets started. We've been off and running, with many set up to date. As I try to gtet my blogging act together and get on here more frequently, I'll try to update you all when someone new enters the fold.
As for my duties here in Florida, they will be largely big-league related. Of course, one of the benefits of Spring Training is that you still get to see some of the young kids get playing time. I'm going to try to throw out a daily Prospect Impression (sorry, I don't do impressions. My training is in pyschology… hope you get that movie reference) if I can.
Today, I've gotten to see some good names, including Phillies' infielder Jason Donald and Cardinals outfielder Colby Rasmus. Also seeing time were Tyler Greene and Brad Harman for each team. No one did anything special particularly in this game, but we'll give the nod to Rasmus, who laid down a nearly perfect bunt down the third-base line that just rolled foul before getting to the base. Nice little wrinkle in his game if he can throw that out there from tie to time just to keep the infield honest.
Wrote a feature on Brendan Ryan (look for it over on Cardinals.com later today). Always love it when the guy you write about hits an RBI single to tie the game! Way to make me look, smart Brendan.
The most buzz — literally and figuratively — came from a swarm of bees that sat overhead at Bright House Field. It hovered right around the press box for a long time (and you thought reporters swarmed) before moving down and around and eventually out. Rather than provide my own commentary of it, here are a few people who have weighed in on the killer bees. First, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki talked about it in his blog, The Zo Zone. Then, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Derick Goold blogged on it here.
Look closely at the photo caption there. That's right. The insect photo came from the iphone of none other than MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann. You never know who you'll see at a Spring Training game.

MONSON - Hanna Strong ignored the pain. With 10 minutes remaining in a one-goal game, Strong had to take an unplanned breather when her legs cramped up on her. Following a brief rest, she returned to the field and helped Monson beat rival Palmer, 4-3, in high school girls soccer action at Rogers Field Friday.
"That's Hanna. She's just a great competitor," Monson coach Eric Degnan said. "She's a gamer and a true leader on the field.
Strong, a junior midfielder, is one of 12 returning players from last season's Western Massachusetts champion and state runner-up squad. Her soccer skills and leadership ability have helped the Mustangs get off to a 3-1 start.
Most players would have waited until the pain subsided before returning. Not Strong, who knew her team needed her after the Panthers scored two quick goals to turn what seemed like a comfortable 4-1 lead into a one-goal game.
Strong and the Mustangs did a good job of ball possession to prevent the Panthers from getting the equalizer.
"When it became a one-goal game it made us pick up our game more," Strong said. "We knew we had to stay strong in the back end."
Strong set up Brook Murphy for the game's first goal. After Bev Farris tied it for Palmer, Strong staked Monson to a 2-1 lead at the half.
"Palmer is our rival, and we knew we had to come out strong, which we did," Strong said. "It calmed us down after we got a couple of goals."
Andrea Borzon gave Monson a 3-1 lead before Strong struck again at 10:50 to put the Mustangs ahead, 4-1.
"That was a big goal by Hanna," Degnan said.
Big because the Panthers refused to quit. Ali Blanchette connected on a rising shot that hit off the top of the crossbar and went in at 24:00, and three minutes later, Megan Breault converted a pass from Molly Burke to pull the Panthers to within one goal.
"It's never easy when we play Palmer, and it's such an emotional game," Degnan said. "There's so much respect, and Palmer deserves a lot of credit for coming back."
Stephanie Morin finished with nine saves for Monson and survived a collision during the second half. She remained in the game.
"That's the type of goalie she is," Strong said. "She stayed in there because she knew we needed her."
Palmer goalie Devyn Bryar also played well. She finished with eight saves.
