Island Music Center welcomes new additions, big changes to come
The Island Music Center's new executive director, Jon Doll, left Bainbridge Island for England in 2010, when the center was still a relatively new idea.
Up until 2008, the building on Northeast Valley Road was known as the Island Music Guild.
For 10 years it had been known as the guild.
Now Doll, who first became involved with the guild in its first year almost 14 years ago, is back and — pending a board decision this month — the name will also likely be back. It signifies the organization going back to its roots.
The name originated as the Island Music Guild to reflect the organization's society of teachers. It was founded by teachers and created to be a community resource, a place for lessons, concert performances and rehearsals.
"We're really trying to bring the emphasis back on the teachers," said the organization's former board president Marilyn Bonkowski.
In returning to its roots, the guild is bringing back old blood with Doll's addition and its founding principals by putting teachers back in decision-making roles as Bonkowski recently demonstrated when she nominated Suzuki piano teacher Keely Sawyer to take over this year's presidency.
After returning to the Island in August, Doll volunteered to take up the guild's empty post as the executive director.
For the past two years, he lived in England where he worked with the nonprofit organization United Way.
But despite a successful career in the nonprofit sector, Doll is a lifelong musician. His mother was a soprano vocalist, actress and writer, and influenced him to nurture his creative spirit.
His father used to tell him he couldn't make a living with singing and music, but, he said, cutting music out of his life was not an option.
"If you love to write songs, if you love to play music, then do it," he said. "Are you going to wait for someone to pay you to do it, unrealistically?"
"How many people play sports without getting paid for it?" he asked. "You're not going to tell someone who has a lot of energy not to play sports unless they get paid for it. Why should it be any different from music or doing art?"
Doll didn't leave his passion behind when he left for England. While there, he produced two CDs and made lifelong friends in the musical social spectrum of London.
He made his start at a pub called Barnes, located on the Thames in southwest London. The pubs in London, he describes, are a religious institution for music. They are a place where social class and baggage are dropped at the door, where plumbers, construction workers and business executives alike buy pints for each other and musicians play for free just to have a place to perform.
"Even at the office, they were probably wondering, what's he doing writing songs? What's he doing with a guitar in his office?" Doll said.
"When you deny yourself those things, you either become someone you're not, try to become someone you're not, or try to tell yourself that's not who you are anymore."
But if there's one thing he did take from his father's work ethic it was his business and organizationally inclined mentality.
From his time at United Way, which extends 10 years, he adopted a simple idea as his mantra: When times are difficult, instead of doing this (he folds his arms around himself, hugging his body), you do this (he opens his arms wide), where we can all compliment each other through collaboration.
Collaboration is the future, he explained. And it's this thinking that many organizations forget in difficult economical times, not a wholly unfamiliar idea to the guild which experienced the risk of closing last year.
Bonkowski, the previous president, stepped on board last year during rough waters. The Island Music Center was in a state of dire financial stress after the city cut grants that provided substantial funding for the 10 or so arts and humanities organizations on the island.
Because of this, Bonkowski spent much of her 18-month term getting the center back on its feet.
"We were discussing whether our doors will even be open," recalled Keely Sawyer, a Suzuki piano teacher and the new board president. "We're starting this year knowing that we're sustainable."
Since then the center has established a membership plan, enrollment fee and gathered financial support from the community to continue.
Sawyer, who grew up on the Island, sat on the board as a teacher representative for a year before taking the position as the new president.
With Doll working as a volunteer to revitalize the energy and personality of the old guild, with better financial independence and with Sawyer as a clearer bridge between the teachers and the board, there is a lot being done.
Together, Doll and the board are re-establishing the organization as a community resource, for students to get the type of instruction that is lacking in conventional fine arts programs in public schools.
Doll is also using his background in building a "United Way" to better collaborate with other arts organizations on the island to build the guild as a rehearsal and performance venue.
With this in mind, the building is undergoing a number of renovations. This month they are creating a cabaret atmosphere by painting the concert hall dark red, tearing down walls to put in a connecting cafe and bar, and redoing the lounge area.
"There's a lot you can do when you're not focusing all your energy on survival," Sawyer said.

I agree with you all the way.
Economic hardships keep me from opening my mind to what I really want and feel. I think I have been tamed by society. I want to break out but I cant. It is really difficult to leave everything that you know and feels safe behind in exchange for the unknown. Nice thoughs you wrote... I wish someone could help me!

It wasn't exactly the sexy deal involving a big name that many fans were hoping for but the Detroit Red Wings did indeed make a move before Wednesday's 3 p.m. trade deadline.
The Red Wings acquired center David Legwand from Nashville in exchange for Patrick Eaves, the rights to prospect Calle Jarnkrok and a third-round draft pick.
Was it a good deal or did the Red Wings give up too much as some fans are saying?
Jarnkrok and the draft pick were the keys to the deal for Nashville.
Jarnkrok, 22, has 13 goals and 23 assists in 57 games with Grand Rapids this season. He was the Red Wings' second-round pick (51st overall) in the 2010 NHL entry draft.
He was No. 4 on the Red Wings latest prospects rankings behind Anthony Mantha, Petr Mrazek and Tomas Jurco.
The draft pick could improve as it moves from the third round to the second round if the Red Wings make the playoffs this season.
As for Eaves, he finished with two goals, three assists and a minus-4 rating in 25 games with the Red Wings after clearing waivers this season. In eight games with Grand Rapids, he had four goals and two assists.
In Legwand, the Red Wings are getting a two-way forward who gives them depth with the uncertainty surrounding injured forwards Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and Darren Helm.
Legwand, who grew up in Grosse Pointe and played junior hockey for the Plymouth Whalers, spent all 15 seasons of his NHL career with Nashville before being dealt. His 10 goals and 30 assists in 62 games shared the Predators' scoring lead.
So all things considered, how do you grade trade – thumbs up, thumbs down or is it too early to tell?

Arlington Police serve search warrant in theft, discover illegal drugs
ARLINGTON — At approximately 6 a.m. on Friday, March 14, Arlington Police served a search warrant on a single family residence in the 20800 block of 66th Avenue NE in Arlington.
The search warrant was initially triggered by the theft of an iPad from the AT&T Wireless store in Arlington on Thursday, March 13, at approximately 7:30 p.m. The stolen iPad had been turned on at approximately 9:30 p.m., which then sent an alert to AT&T security, providing the iPad's current location. AT&T security staff then contacted Arlington Police with the information.
In the course of serving the search warrant, officers discovered and removed an undisclosed quantity of methamphetamine, scales, an undisclosed amount of cash and drug paraphernalia. No arrests have been made, although the investigation is ongoing.

Natural gas prices in the United States reached a point they hadn't seen since 2002, dropping below $2 yesterday. This led to a drop in the share price of producers such as Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) , which fell as much as 3.8% yesterday. Though it has since recovered, the continued reduction in natural gas prices could affect some companies going forward.
Producers are suffering
As natural gas prices continue to decrease, natural gas producers may cease production. The U.S. is using 12% less natural gas per day than usual. This has led many gas producers to take steps to hedge some of their reliance on natural gas. Calgary-based EnCana (NYSE: ECA ) , North America's second-largest natural gas producer, has taken numerous steps to shield its balance sheet from further decreases in natural gas prices, including selling assets and renewing and extending credit facilities. Chesapeake Energy has sold land assets in the past to cover expenses, and has done so again, selling some shale acreage in Oklahoma to ExxonMobil for $2.6 billion, closing the gap on what some analysts estimate as a $3 billion shortfall this year.
Benefits for customers... and investors
Low natural gas prices could ultimately benefit customers in other ways as well. Utah gas utility Questar (NYSE: STR ) has sought approval from state regulators to refund $42 million to customers, resulting in an average credit of $34.50 in May. Since the company makes its money delivering gas to customers, supplying the fuel to its customers at the price it pays, it typically asks regulators twice a year to adjust the amount it charges customers. If approved, it would only be the third time in 17 years that customers were actually refunded money -- usually price changes are simply reflected in future bills. Should natural gas prices stay near current lows, it would be easy to see other gas utilities doing similar things in other parts of the country.
Also benefiting from low natural gas prices are companies looking to use liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel source. With gasoline prices remaining high, some people may consider converting to natural-gas-fueled vehicles. The long-haul trucking industry, with engines developed by Westport Innovations (Nasdaq: WPRT ) , could reduce costs using liquefied natural gas and filling up at the stations provided by Clean Energy Fuels (Nasdaq: CLNE ) . As Clean Energy continues developing natural gas fueling stations throughout the U.S. and Canada, the "natural gas highway" may become a reality and an alternative to gasoline. It is no wonder that Clean Energy has jumped more than 150% from its low in October, and Westport is up nearly 100% over its 52-week low.
Foolish bottom line
Natural gas won't be this cheap forever. While producers consider their options to make it through to an increase, other companies are taking advantage of the low cost by either refunding money to customers or developing new technologies that take advantage of the use as an alternative fuel. Either way, it's worth keeping an eye on, and you can do so by adding these companies to My Watchlist to keep track of the news out of the natural gas industry.
Though natural gas prices are at 10-year lows, the price of gasoline seems to keep going up. Our analysts have identified "3 Stocks for $100 Oil" that should continue to profit as oil prices climb.

If you're a user of Norton Internet Security 2009, it's certainly worth going to the newer version, because Quorum will most likely make you safer, and the new features are worthy additions. Not only that, but the upgrade is free. As for whether to switch to NIS 2010 from a different internet protection program, that's a tougher call. The interface is certainly simple and straightforward, and also lets you dig into security details. There's no way to evaluate yet whether the new tools will be more effective than the old ones; only widespread use and exposure to many malware threats will tell.
As we mentioned before, Norton Internet Security 2010 looks very much like the 2009 version, so there will be very little learning curve for those who have already used the product.
The main screen is now divided into three sections entitled Computer, Network and Web (rather than the previous Computer, Web and Identity). It tells you at a glance the state of your security, notes whether any actions need to be taken, and lets you turn features on and off. As with the previous version, there are monitors on the left-hand side of the screen that show your CPU's current usage and how much of that Norton is taking up.
If you want a quick glimpse of the state of your security, you'll just use the main screen. But if you're the kind of person who likes to dig deep, you'll find plenty of links here that will lead you to additional data. For example, click the Performance link on the left-hand side, and you'll see a new feature: a page that offers in-depth detail about CPU and RAM use over the last ten minutes, the last half hour, hour-and-a-half, day, week, and month.
Better yet, another new link on the main page gives you access to detailed information from the suite's System Insight feature. This display shows, over time, any events related to your PC's security, such as virus scans and their results, and new software that you've installed. Using this info, you may be able to track down PC problems yourself — for example, if you notice unusual behaviour, you can check this screen to see if that behaviour started after you installed a particular piece of software.
Another useful feature accessible from the main screen is the Network Security Map. It shows you all of the devices attached to your network, and includes information such as the IP address, MAC address, whether they're online, and so on.
Another feature, the Vulnerability Protection link, is less than useful. It lists programs that Norton has found to have vulnerabilities — but not necessarily those you have on your PC. The list is generic and lists all software against which Norton offers protection. There's no need ever to check it.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Those are all very good comments, which is why I think it is unreliable for anyone here on the reflector to encourage him to do much of anything specific, short of having an engineer check out his proposed installation. If the rock isn't really "solid" with a compression strength somewhere in the vicinity of 3,000 PSI (and AN Wireless actually specs 4,000 PSI for their freestanding towers), then the rock isn't really equivalent to concrete and the required foundation width to resist an overturning moment is rather indeterminate. The alternative, of course, is to simply overkill everything and put in lots of concrete (particularly in width) .... but at $100+ per cubic yard it wouldn't take much extra of it to offset the "savings" of not hiring an engineer. I'll shut up now ... 73, Dave AB7E ------Original Mail------ From: "Kevin Normoyle" <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: "Tower and HF antenna construction topics." <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:46:57 -0800 Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] tower installation HG52SS my thought was that Kevin might not be "3 1/2 feet into solid rock on all four sides" as it would have been difficult to do that just with a jackhammer. (unless it was soft rock?) What kind of rock is this? it must be different on bottom vs sides. these two pages should give you some insight into "pad" style (pad and pier) foundations for a what AN wireless would call a 50ft tower's "D" foundation type. the horizontal dimension for these is more interesting than the vertical. You can see 6x6 spec'ed on the bottom with this style. (with rebar as specified). They are designing for "normal soil" and http://www.anwireless.com/tower.html http://www.anwireless.com/padpier.pdf I only mention this, because it might be more better to just go wider (6x6) with whatever depth you hit "solid rock" (3 1/2'?) then worrying about tying into stuff. (of unknown quality). If you really have better than normal soil, you might be able to just go 5x5. You're worried about an overturning moment, not just vertical and lateral forces (it's not like analyzing a house foundatoin). Maybe someone with more relevant engineering expertise might comment, but it doesn't sound to me like you should just do 42"x42" by 3.5' deep (it sounds like that's what you've got right now?..I guess because I don't believe it's solid rock? when you say "with a pad one to two feet tall around it above ground"...I think the usual practice is to say that doesn't add any value (since the "weight" of the thing isn't much of a contribution to resisting overturning, in typical tower bases. Kevin said "With a sufficiently tied-in top pad, the tower cannot move in any direction as the above ground part would try to push down onto the rock around it, which it cannot do (as the rock 1" and less underground is solid I'm no engineer, just my thoughts." Yeah, but it has to be wide enough so it doesn't tip over. (obviously 2' wide is insufficient. The calcs are all about "how wide is wide enough?"). Making it "thicker" above ground does something, but not as much as wider (with appropriate rebar). If you're a worrier, 6x6 to a depth of 3-1/2' should work for a 52' crankup (especially since you'll crank it down in big wind) More analysis should probably get you something smaller. -kevin ad6z _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

NON-GUILTY PLEASURE OF THE WEEK: Word of a new Glen Campbell album may have elicited yawns of indifference from music fans and industry observers. Campbell's career has been a long, strong but also careening thing, from his early heyday as an unpretentiously penetrating interpreter of songs-especially Jimmy Webb's-to the kitschy "Rhinestone Cowboy" period, and then going out to pasture in Branson. Then came the unfortunate DUI mug shot, that modern albatross, suddenly putting Campbell in the same club as Nick Nolte and Robert Downey Jr.

Vmax vs invert too vs halo b
Posted 17 August 2012 - 09:39 PM
Posted 17 August 2012 - 11:01 PM
2green blinks this is loading speed. I use 2 blinks for semi auto, I only use semi and I beleive myself to walk at about 12-15 bps average.
4 orange blinks- this is the microphone sensetivity, its a sound activated loader.
2 red blinks, this means the internal eyes are on, always leave these on.
Works perfect but the most common complaint is its brittle shell, I have not had any issue with this and my hopper has been shot several times but I'm easy on equiptment.
Most Ive talked to say the Halo B is a no go, and get the V-max only if you are tough on stuff.

Posted 18 August 2012 - 05:22 PM
I'm sorry Jawz, the V-max IS the uglyest loader on the market and will NEVER feed 20 bps. Watch sticktodrums review on the V-max through youtube and he makes it very clear that the V-max simply cannot feed at 20bps. Its feed system is practically a whipper snipper.
I encourage you to watch his review, channel called sticktodrum, Valken V-max review- youtube
I had an argument with stick already, I might have over exaggerated 20 bps but it will keep up with psp 12.5 just fine, a cool up you can do for the Vmax is to get a pinokio drive cone and replace the stock vmax ones, that'll take you to 20 no problem.
and looks are personal opinion i hate the way the halo looks but that doesn't give me the right to say its the ugliest hopper on the market.

He did ask us to use bias and we are comparing the loaders them selves not thier avalible upgrades.
i said a "cool" upgrade, not saying its mandatory. It'll feed the legal limit consistently and reliably. And what do you even do all day? sitting at your computer arguing with people? Well I'm not arguing with you anymore its obvious to me that you are a buyer trying to justify your purchase. I on the other hand may not be a saint, but I have used both hoppers for a reasonable period of time and have come up with a biased choice between the two not by what I see or hear but by my experiences with the two products, I like the V-max more than the Invert Halo Too plain and simple. Stick's main concern with the V-max was the price point which was not justified at all (note that there has been a price drop) and I agree but between these two I am going to have to go with the V-max.

A Walk About in SLS (11-6-2005)
Over at Cybermind, we see some really radical systems on display. One
of them is The Chili Box, by Chili Systems. In a bright red mini
case, this spicy little machine is actually a Network Attached Storage solution,
with a plethora of features like, the POP3 mail server configured, being a
Transparent Web Proxy etc. It also acts as a firewall with advanced protection
features. For more information, see
here! Priced at
$ 998, it might interest many SOHO companies, or even small-mid
The clean and simple packaging of The Chili Box, with that cute chili mascott.
Some specifications on the side of the box.
A simple explanation on how this machine works, on the side of the box.
A front shot of this cute red machine. Included infront, 2 USB front ports,
for USB drive operation, and also, USB key lock/unlock security feature (USB key
included) Looks pretty much like a conventional machine in an mATX case?
The back of it confirms it. This machine uses a standard mATX motherboard,
and also, a PCI LAN card. mATX PSU too!
A look at the side of this cute little system. Bright red with the cute chili
Next, also in Cybermind, we found also Biostar Ideq 330P Small
Form Factor system. Based on Nforce 4, and of course PCIe interface, this is one
of the cheaper options for SFFs based on NF4 / PCIe interface. Priced at
$ 699, and supported by Corbell Technology, this is not too much to pay
The packaging of the Biostar SFF, together with a sticker indicating it's
distributor, and of course, 1 year warranty.

BRIDGETON — Local police were busy Monday night making four drug arrests in three separate incidents within a four-hour period.
Police recovered more than 1,300 grams of suspected marijuana, 10 decks of heroin, crack cocaine and more than $17,000 in cash, according to reports.
A motor vehicle was stopped in the 400 block of East Broad Street at about 6 p.m. Officers approached the vehicle and smelled an odor of burnt marijuana. Police arrested Hector M. Garcia, 21, of South Pine Street, who was a passenger in the vehicle, according to police.
A subsequent search of the suspect yielded more than 130 grams of suspected marijuana, according to reports.
Ptl. Shane Sawyers charged Garcia with possession of that drug and possession with intent to distribute marijuana, in addition to having an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of Bridgeton Municipal Court for failure to appear at a previous court appearance. Garcia was lodged in the Cumberland County Jail in lieu of $11,000 cash bail.
Approximately one hour later, officers stopped a 1999 Hyundai in the 100 block of West Broad Street. The passenger fled on foot after officers inquired about the smell of raw marijuana in the vehicle. The passenger, identified as Gilbert Anderson Jr., 25, of Suncrest Avenue, was apprehended a short distance away on West Commerce Street and found to be in possession of more than $17,000 in cash. A subsequent search of the vehicle yielded more than 2.5 pounds of suspected marijuana, according to reports.
Ptl. Joseph Camp charged Anderson with obstruction, resisting arrest, hindering apprehension and was also found to have an outstanding arrest warrant out of Bridgeton Municipal Court. He was lodged in the county jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail.
Capt. Michael Gaimari said Tuesday morning the investigation into the marijuana found in the vehicle is continuing and did not rule out additional charges or arrests.
Less than three hours later Sgt. Michael Pastirko and other officers observed what they reported as a hand-to-hand transaction of suspected drugs and money on Bank Street near Washington Street near a vehicle with loud music coming from it. Officers conducting further investigation recovered approximately 10 decks of suspected heroin and numerous bags of suspected crack cocaine and a scale. More than $650 in cash was also seized, according to reports.
William Mann Jr., 28, of Bank Street, was charged with possession of the heroin and crack cocaine, in addition to possession with intent to distribute the drugs and possession within 1,000 feet of school-designated property. He was lodged in the county jail in lieu of $50,000 cash bail.
Dion Loatman, 35, of South Avenue, was also charged with possession of under 50 grams of marijuana, in addition to two child support warrants and a failure to pay fines warrant out of Bridgeton Municipal Court. He was lodged in the county jail in lieu of $36,010 bail.
Gaimari commended the officers involved who he said are members of one of the department's two tactical response teams assigned to target specific high crime areas of the city.

Soy- and grain-based products in the form of nondairy drinks, burgers, breakfast links and dinner loaves, to name a few, are poised to roll in as the next natural-foods tsunami.

The Beaver Bar parking lot is usually filled with motorcycles.
But on Sunday mornings it undergoes a transformation.
Bikes share space with Buicks, Beemers and any number of other cars, whose riders are lured by hot, strong coffee, scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sausage, hash part of a $5 all-you-can-eat brunch where the proceeds go to help Grand Strand charitable organizations, folks in need and nonprofit groups.
Leslye Beaver and her staff have been serving up the goods for more than five years, but recently the word has gotten out via word of mouth and the sign in front of the biker-friendly bar. From 8 a.m. to noon, the bars dance floor turns into a serving area, part of the bar area holds coffee urns and the crowd is definitely not the usual biker bar clientele.
No matter.
Everyone is welcomed first timers to old-timers.
While cooks Michael Bethea and David Clark are paid, most of the people involved at the front of the house volunteer. They do it for a belief in helping others, says Russ Bonvie, who presides as cashier and the welcoming committee, especially to the newcomers.
I recognize them by the deer in the headlights look, Bonvie said, passing out the plates and collecting the $5 a head. The foods that way, he says to a group of four who admit its their first time.
Coffees on the bar, anything else, check with the bartender.
Bethea and Clark get little time to look around as the tables start filling up right from 8 a.m. We go through three to four 10-gallon buckets of eggs, Bethea says, deftly turning the eggs spread out on the grill, moving them into a serving bowl and replacing the empty bowl on the serving table.
Eggs dont have time to get dry and bacon stays warm as the diners fill their plates.
Clark handles the bacon eight, nine, 10 boxes a day, he says, dropping a giant handful into the hot fat, putting it into serving bowls and then doing the same with sausage links and patties.
The two men arrive at the bar at 5 or 5:30 a.m. and get their exercise walking from the kitchen to the buffet tables with the hot food steadily until things wind down about noon or a little later, depending on the crowd.
Its like eating Mommas food, said Ed Haluszka, a former truck driver, sitting next to his friend John Harlow, who also drove trucks for a living.
We come here during the week for beers. This is just giving support to the community and to the bar, Harlow said.
Gene Varn and his wife, Betty, have been coming to the brunches for years.
I remember that Leslye used to do this for free, for a donation. Then she went up to a whole three dollars, he laughed.
We come to shag on Wednesdays and to eat on Sundays, added Betty Varn.
Its the charitable giving that draws people, too.
Leslyes been quietly giving to the community for years, said Terri Smith.
In a way, that giving is what led to the start of the Sunday brunches. Id get requests for help and people asking how they could help. This way, those that need help and those that want to help can do so, Beaver said.
Its not unusual to feed 300 to 400 people on a Sunday, with money going to individuals, the schools and other groups.
Attendance varies although the record is about 700 depending on the cause or how far the word has spread about the spread.
We came all the way from Prince Edward Island, joked Wylie Hall, a snowbird who winters in the area so he can get in some serious golfing. One of my golfing buddies told me about this and Ive been coming ever since.

If I do Lua, I think I'll try to search out a current version of that book, so that I am up to date on everything.
What about UDK? I know that would be another great thing to learn, seeing as how its used a lot in the industry. The one thing about that, however, is that I'm a terrible artist. How would a strictly programming minded person break into Unreal Development? Any books, tutorials, etc?

"Resting" Zajac sits out Devils' practice; Ill Josefson placed on IR; Urbom reclaimed off waivers
Center Travis Zajac is missing from the Devils' practice today at Prudential Center. Devils GM Lou Lamoriello said Zajac is just "resting" and there are "no issues."
In addition, the Devils have placed center Jacob Josefson on injured reserve. He also is not practicing. Lamoriello said Josefson picked up a virus when the team was in Buffalo. He has been a healthy scratch the last six games.
"Right now he's in bed with a virus," Lamoriello said. "He's going to be out for a few days. He has a fever and so forth, so he's going to be out of practice for a few days."
Lamoriello said the IR move with Josefson was made retroactive to Saturday, so he would be eligible to be activated on Sunday.
In addition, the Devils reclaimed defenseman Alex Urbom off waivers from Washington and assigned him to Albany of the AHL. Because the Devils lost Urbom, 23, off waiver to Washington on Oct. 3 and no other team put in a claim for him, they were able to assign him directly to Albany -- per Article 13.22 of the CBA. If another team had put in a claim for Urbom and the Devils had still gotten him, they would have had to keep him on their NHL roster and then had to try to put him through waivers again if they wanted to send him down.
Lamoriello said Josefson's illness made the move easier to make, but had he not been ill, the team would have just sent down one of its young players that doesn't require waivers "for a day" to make room for Urbom on the 23-player roster.
"Josefson just made it a little easier, but if Josefson was healthy, we have one of four players we could (send down) for a day," Lamoriello said.
Lamoriello said Patrik Elias, who has missed the last three games with "total body soreness", is "day to day before he gets on the ice."
"He's doing extremely well," Lamoriello said. "He's doing all of his off-ice activities and until he gets on the ice we won't really know what the timeframe is."
Elias was injured when he fell right shoulder first into the boards after a hit from Pittsburgh's Tanner Glass on Dec. 31. It appeared at the time as if Elias' shoulder and neck were the issue, but he said the next day his lower body was actually "more sore" than his upper body.
When I asked Lamoriello if Elias' recovery is taking longer than the team expected, he replied, "We hoped it would have been shorter, but quite frankly I think we're fortunate the way it occurred that it isn't worse. I really believe that. So, I'm looking at it on the positive side of it that we know it's short-term it's just when rather than having something that you know it's an extended period of time. This is just the case of when he feels good."
Lamoriello said that right wing Damien Brunner, who has been out since Dec. 20 with a right knee injury, has yet to resume skating. "But he's progressing," Lamoriello said. "I'd say he's maybe ahead of schedule, but, as I've always said when it come to knees, the last 10 or 15 percent are the most difficult of getting where you've got to get. There's no timeframe on it. When you get to 90 percent, it's the push. It's putting it all out."
Defenseman Peter Harrold, who has been out since Dec. 7 with a fractured right foot, has resumed skating. There is no timetable for his return yet, though.
Andrei Loktionov is filling in for Zajac as center on the line with Dainius Zubrus and Jaromir Jagr. Mike Sislo appears to be the fourth-line center between Reid Boucher and Cam Janssen.
The breakdown of the players skating today.
Forwards: Ryane Clowe-Adam Henrique-Michael Ryder; Dainius Zubrus-Andrei Loktionov-Jaromir Jagr; Ryan Carter-Stephen Gionta-Steve Bernier; Reid Boucher- Mike Sislo-Cam Janssen
Defensemen: Andy Greene, Mark Fayne, Bryce Salvador, Anton Volcnenkov, Jon Merrill, Marek Zidlicky, Eric Gelinas, Adam Larsson.

Eli Young Band gets up to speed for Kenny Chesney opener
Opening up stadiums for Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Nation tour was a bit of an adjustment, said James Young, guitarist for the Texas-based Eli Young Band.
"It would have been nice if we could have actually warmed up with an arena or amphitheater," Young said of playing the tour kick-off at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., in March. »Read Full Article
Skylight Music Theatre finds heart, hope with 'In the Heights'
In the Act 1 finale for "In the Heights" — which opened Friday night at Skylight Music Theatre, under the direction of Ragnar Conde (stage) and Jeff Schaetzke (music) — a nighttime power blackout sends a careening Washington Heights barrio toward the brink.
It's the beginning of the Fourth of July weekend, but freedom and independence seem further than ever for the barrio's residents, each of whose All-American dreams have curdled faster than the soured milk in the local bodega — where the refrigerator is on the fritz and the owner is in a funk. »Read Full Article
MSO program blends different sounds with shared roots
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra held a musical reunion of sorts Friday evening at the Marcus Center, performing music of Leonard Bernstein, Lukas Foss and Samuel Barber.
The three composers, who were trained within a relatively small window of time at the Curtis Institute of Music, wrote with distinct and disparate voices. Their music — programmed for a single concert and conducted by another Curtis alum, MSO associate conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong — was a fascinating look at the variety of style in American orchestral music of the 20th century. »Read Full Article

A good night for Howard
Justin Howard can hit Double-A pitching. No doubt about it.
The guy hit .333 in the Curve's final 78 games last year, the third-best average in all of Double-A after June 1.
Unfortunately but not surprisingly, Howard not only had to come back to Altoona this year, the first baseman/outfielder came back and didn't even have an everyday job.
The Pirates have more than $2 million invested in Stetson Allie, so the slugger is going to play first base every day. The outfield also was filled, leaving Howard on the bench.
If that wasn't enough, when another first baseman, Matt Curry, returned from a hand injury in early May, it made things even tougher for Howard to get playing time.
Again, this is a player who torched the ball for three months last season.
But he's not a priority prospect.
Which means …
"He's got to prove himself every day because he's got so many guys in front of him," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said. "Every opportunity he gets, he's got to try to make the best of it."
Howard certainly made the best of his very brief opportunity Friday night. He saw only one pitch as a pinch hitter, and he crushed it for a go-ahead two-run homer to lead the Curve to a 4-2 win over Harrisburg.
"It was great to get a hit, let alone a home run," Howard said. "It was awesome.
"Fastball, middle in, good part of the plate and just reacted to it and got it good."
The Fourth of July game drew 8,845 fans, the sixth-largest regular-season crowd in franchise history.
Thanks to Howard, and a ninth-inning tightrope act by closer Kenn Kasparek, the fans got to enjoy a quality victory before enjoying a 30-minute combo fireworks show between Lakemont Park and the Curve.
Howard's pinch-hit homer to deep center broke up a tie game and gave Altoona a 3-1 lead in the sixth.
The 26-year-old Texan is having a tough season because of the lack of consistent playing time – hitting .226 with three homers and nine RBIs – but he hasn't let it get him down.
"His attitude is great," Garcia said. "He knows and understands the position he's in. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a choice. He's got to have a great attitude, he's got to be a good clubhouse guy, a good teammate, support everybody because this is the only way he's going to some day at some point get the opportunity to play."
Howard got such an opportunity last season after Curry went down with an injury and Andrew Lambo was promoted to Triple-A. His success a year ago – .314 average, .405 on-base percentage, eight homers, 38 RBIs, .864 OPS – helps motivate him to know he can perform at this level when he gets a chance.
"To have the success last year, I know it's in there, so I just have to keep grinding," he said.
It's tough for any player used to playing every day to succeed in a limited role, but the irony is that the only way someone like Howard will get to play every day is if he does make a big impact off the bench. He hasn't been able to do that this year.
"The opportunities that I've gotten, I haven't really done much with them," he said. "I feel I'm better than what my numbers have shown."
The most important thing he can do is continue to show up to the ballpark with a good attitude ready to play every day and make the most of whatever opportunity he does get.
"If I came in here with a bad attitude being selfish, it's not going to do anybody good," Howard said. "It's not going to do me good, not going to do my team good. So I've just got to keep that team attitude, and if I'm helping my team win, then my individual performance will be there.
"Hopefully someday I'll get another chance to be an everyday player, but until then, I'm going to keep working hard and fill my role that I have right now."
Pat Ludwig (1-3) won his first Double-A game, holding Harrisburg to one run on five hits in six innings, striking out six. Senators starter Brett Brach (1-4) took the loss.
Harrisburg threatened in the ninth while trailing, 4-2, loading the bases with two outs. Kasparek, though, continued his solid work in his new closer role, converting his third consecutive save by striking out Michael Taylor looking to end the game.
Game recap
Key player: PH Justin Howard went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer.
Key play: Howard's blast gave the Curve a 3-1 lead in the sixth.
Key stat: The crowd of 8,845 was the Curve's sixth-largest ever for a regular-season game.
How they scored
Bottom 3rd: Diaz reached on fielder's choice, scored on Allie single (1-0).
Top 5th: Jeroloman solo homer (1-1).
Bottom 6th: Broxton doubled, scored on Howard two-run homer (3-1).
Top 7th: Keyes solo homer (3-2).
Bottom 7th: Maggi reached on Skole error, scored on Curry single (4-2).

Just in time for National Autism Month
One of the great advantages of being a book author is that you have control over your working hours which, for me, means that when my kids are on vacation, I'M on vacation. I'll have decades of writing time to myself once the kids are out of the house, but free time with them is limited and I'm not going to miss out on it. Which is why I haven't posted anything for over two weeks. (Fortunately Kim picked up the slack and then some.) My apologies. No regrets, though. It was our best vacation ever.
But now that I'm back home and they're back in school, it's time to get serious about work again. So: hello everybody!
(All together now:
"Hello, Claire!"
When I left for vacation, it was March, which wasn't remarkable, but I returned in April which is National Autism Month. As you all must know by now, when I'm not writing lighthearted women's fiction, I'm co-authoring books about autism. The second collaboration between Dr. Lynn Koegel (of the Koegel Autism Center at UCSB) and me came out last month and, in honor of National Autism Month, I'm going to give a copy away.

AP – Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 1. Romo completed 15-of-24 passes for 345 yards with five touchdowns, four passing and one rushing, during the team's season.
The four touchdown passes were the most thrown by a Dallas quarterback on opening weekend since Troy Aikman tossed five touchdowns in 1999. Also, the 45 points scored were the most in a Cowboys opener since 1971.
It is Romo's third career player of the week award.

Hollywood's method man on his intense acting 'process,' intimidating boys (including Leo DiCaprio) & the prospect of striking Oscar gold for a third time
Daniel Day-Lewis an intimidating presence? Surely not.
The English-born actor denies it, but appears to be aware that at least the nasty characters he often tends to play -- or rather, inhabits -- can sometimes leave that impression.
In the new film "There Will Be Blood" Day-Lewis portrays Daniel Plainview, a turn-of-the-20th-century oilman who personifies ruthlessness. It's an utterly frightening performance likely to garner an Oscar nomination.
During the film's shoot near Marfa, Texas, the actor shared many scenes with a local boy who played Plainview's son. The young man, Dillon Freasier, had never even seen a film set before "There Will Be Blood" came to town.
Given the intensity of some of their scenes together, Day-Lewis thought he should have a chat with the boy.
Said the actor, "I kind of sat him down and created this portentous atmosphere and said, 'Dillon, you know how I feel about you, and there are going to be moments in the next months to come when I'm going to speak harshly to you, I'm not going to treat you nicely. I hope you understand that I love you and so on.'
"He looked at me like I was insane. He was just one step ahead of us pretty much most of the time," said Day-Lewis during a recent interview in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
The boy's mother took a little more convincing.
"She wanted to do things right and thought she better check out this bunch of people who were going to be taking care of her son so she thought, 'I'm going to rent a movie that that fellow did.' So she went and got 'Gangs of New York' and was absolutely appalled. She thought she was releasing her child into the hands of this monster," said Day-Lewis.
The actor won his second Oscar nod (the first, a win, was for 1989's "My Left Foot") for his portrayal of Bill "The Butcher" Cutting, a character even nastier than Daniel Plainview, in that 2002 Martin Scorsese film.
"There was a flurry of phone calls, and somebody sent her a copy of 'The Age of Innocence.' Apparently that did the trick," said Day-Lewis (who played a New York society scion in that Edith Wharton adaptation).
To say that the shoot for "There Will Be Blood," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, was intense is putting it mildly. The intensity shows on the screen, particularly in the multiple dust-ups between Day-Lewis' Plainview and a young Evangelical preacher named Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), whose family owns the land in rural California where Plainview finds oil circa 1898.
"It was a very difficult day, that day," said Day-Lewis of shooting the first scene in which Plainview starts pummeling Sunday.
"Things weren't going right and there were people doing all kinds of things to try and fix the pipe which needed to be working in the background, filling the reservoir we were digging. We lost a day in this place," said Day-Lewis.
"Essentially, out of necessity often something interesting is born, and Paul (the director) set up a tracking shot that covered the whole scene. So we sort of attacked it like that. There's nothing you can do to get ready for that except just try it."
"And the next day we got to shoot the baptism scene, so Paul got to have his way," said Anderson about the moment in the film in which Sunday baptizes the skeptical Plainview with great enthusiam.
"We didn't rehearse it. We figured we would get a scene before the slapping starts, and then we could start slapping," said the director.
"But Paul either forgot or decided to take his own initiative and began to slap Daniel across the face."
These first two highly physical scenes, however, pale in comparison to the movie's climax, shot in the bowling alley of the Doheny Mansion just south of downtown Los Angeles, in which Plainview and Sunday finally really have it out.
The character of Plainview is based, both in the movie as well as in the 1927 Upton Sinclair novel "Oil!" that inspired the film, on the oilman Edward Doheny, who accumulated vast wealth during the early decades of the last century.
"This huge, great, gloomy pile was the pyramid that he built to himself with the wealth he accumulated, and it's overseen by the Doheny Trust, which employs a very large army of people in extremely neat uniforms to watch every god---- move that you make in the place," said Day-Lewis.
"I don't know what they thought we were doing in there, but they seemed quite disturbed by the whole thing. We had already entered a realm where we didn't know one thing from another. And again, we had very little time to play with."
"That's a fog. That's two days of fog in a bowling alley," said Anderson.
Dano, who had worked with Day-Lewis before on the 2005 film "The Ballad of Jack and Rose," was already familiar with his co-star's Method process of getting into a character. He said he wasn't intimidated in his presence. But then, Dano wasn't Anderson's first choice for Eli Sunday.
"We had an actor and it didn't really work out and we had Paul and he was in a small part, and we thought, why is he in such a small part?" said the director.
According to a lengthy feature on Day-Lewis in The New York Times Magazine last month, the unnamed actor who didn't work out left because he felt intimidated by his co-star. It was also reported when "Gangs of New York" came out that the star of that film, Leonardo DiCaprio, was similarly uneasy around the always-in-character Day-Lewis.
"I was quite surprised when I read that comment," said Day-Lewis of the Times article.
"Whatever the problem was during that time with that particular person, I absolutely don't believe it was because he was intimidated by me. I happen to believe that. I hope I'm right."
And for the record, the actor insists he's nothing like the imposing character of Daniel Plainview. That, he said, was why he wanted to play him.
"Plainview was a man whose life I didn't understand at all. It was a life that was completely mysterious to me, and that unleashed a fatal curiosity which I had no choice but to pursue."

Urban sprawl in the southeastern United States will likely threaten animal habitats and agricultural land over the next five decades as a "megalopolis" sprouts between Atlanta and Raleigh, N.C., according to a U.S. Geological Survey research paper, as reported by The Washington Post.
Researchers estimate that urbanization will increase 190 percent, resulting in a continuous string of development similar to the northeast corridor, according to the article. As a result, 15 percent of agricultural land, 12 percent of grasslands and 10 percent of forests will be lost, the article reports.

In America there is a long history of partnership between governmental agencies and private charities in the delivery of social welfare services going back to colonial times. The pattern which emerged long before the creation of the federally sponsored welfare system involved local and state governments funding charities to deliver services. This article presents a case study of New York City, examining public-private partnerships in the delivery of welfare services both before (up to 1934) and after (1935 and beyond) the emergence of national programmes. It explores three questions: 1) what was the public-private organisation arrangement in the delivery of welfare services prior to the expanded federal government role initiated with the New Deal Legislation of the mid 1930s?; 2) how has the arrangement changed since?; and 3) how dependent have private organisations become on government funding?

Drawing on case study data from 1995, this article describes the established practices of Norwegian municipal home care groups and the way in which care-giving staff interacted and negotiated with recipients. Later case study data from 2000 show how these practices have been affected by structural changes introduced to promote consumer choice. A key element in the new structure is the introduction of proxy consumers, ie a new intermediate purchasing function acting on behalf of the consumer. The paper demonstrates how contractual arrangements implemented on behalf of the consumer run counter to established practices based on personal trust and negotiation.

In the Netherlands, individuals in need of long-term care at home are given a Personal Budget which allows them to employ a personal carer. It was hoped that this reform would stimulate a market in home care provision. In practice, this market has not yet emerged. In practice, most budget holders employ a family member to look after them. However, this may prevent people with caring responsibilities from developing their own careers. Another problem with Personal Budgets is that they undermine the process of professionalisation of care workers, who have less access to training and development than they would have if employed by a firm. This may adversely affect the quality of care in the long term.

Data were collected in a Swedish county in 2000 by means of telephone interviews. The net sample consisted of 2,697 individuals aged 18-84 and the response rate was 61%. The results showed that women were much more likely than men to be involved in provision of personal care in combination with other tasks. Men were more likely to provide some kind of practical help for a mother or a neighbour/friend. Even though the Swedish welfare state has been described as universal and is characterised by an extensive system of benefits and services designed to cover the entire population, these results show that informal care plays an important role and that the gender role patterns are similar to those observed in other types of welfare state.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A second man was charged in a South Brunswick burglary that police discovered after residents became suspicious of two men going through a backyard, and authorities tied the suspects to a second residential break-in.
Kenneth Arhakos, 27, of South Brunswick, surrendered to officers at police headquarters and was charged with the break-in at a Woodbine Road home, Sgt. James Ryan said.
Police had previously arrested Joseph Dey, 32, of the Kingston section of Franklin Township with the break-in.
At 1:52 p.m. Tuesday, a resident reported seeing two men in the backyard of the house.
An officer went behind the house, discovered a window forced open, and saw at least one suspect run out the front door. A resident followed the man and saw him hide in a drainage pipe about two blocks away off Emerald Road, where he was arrested, Ryan said. The man was later identified as Dey.
Police later found a car Dey was using, and found items in the car taken from another home.
At about 4 p.m., a resident of Savage Road came home and discovered the house and been entered and called police, Ryan said. Officers determined items found in the car had been taken from that home, the sergeant said.
Arhakos came to police headquarters that evening, after hearing police were searching for him, Ryan said.
Arhakos and Dey are being held at the Middlesex County jail on $50,000 bail each, charged with two counts of burglary.

Ben Crane carded a five-under-par 65 on Friday to open up a six-shot lead in the FedEx St Jude Classic before the weather brought a premature end to play in Memphis.
Crane stormed out in front with a flawless first 17 holes which included six birdies. He bogeyed the par-four 18th, but still finished the day well ahead of the pack.
Sweden's Carl Pettersen and American Jason Bohn were tied for second on six under. Both were three under for the day - Pettersen had one hole left, and Bohn two - when heavy rain that had twice delayed the action finally forced organisers to suspend play.
Davis Love III (70) and Billy Horschel (68) were in at five under and shared fourth spot with their fellow American Peter Malnati, who registered a 65 on Thursday and was one of the frustrated onlookers on Friday.
Goosen was one of a cluster of players a stroke back on four under following his opening 66, with Mickelson a further shot adrift after his first-round 67.
Mickelson was joined on the three-under mark by Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter. The Northern Irishman signed for a 68 on Friday, while the Englishman was two under for his second round with one hole to play.
Padraig Harrington was level for the round and two under overall after two holes when play was suspended. Darren Clarke did not start his round.
Play will resume at 7am local time on Saturday (1pm Irish time), when better weather is forecast.

As I've previously mentioned, I've been following the Rep. Anthony Weiner hoopla since last Friday.
I've asked myself the same question, is the Weiner scandal retaliation from the Clarance Thomas issue which Rep. Weiner exposed?
Just before the faux scandal about Weiner broke out on May 27th, Weiner had been tweeting about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' possible ethics violations on his tax returns.
News One
As Rep. Anthony Weiner's alleged crotch-shot dominates the news, information on possible motives to deface Weiner's credibility are surfacing under the radar. And as it appears, Weinergate just might be a smear campaign executed by conservative activists looking to defend Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
For months, Rep. Weiner has prompted Thomas to disclose the money his wife, Virginia Thomas made working for Liberty Central, a political organization that has openly opposed President Obama's health care reform agenda. According to Weiner, Mrs. Thomas' political affiliations put the justice's impartiality on the bench in question.
Details of Virginia Thomas' salary and other payments were disclosed Friday night as the press and most Americans prepared for the Memorial Day weekend.
The timing of Thomas' disclosure quickly became ammunition for Weiner, who made it a point to shed light on the hush-hush disclosure via twitter, hurling numerous tweets at #ConflictedClarenceThomas.
The tweets read:
"Pretty crazy that the Scout does a pre memorial day Friday dumping of its financial disclosure forms. #ButImOnTheCase"
"#ConflictedClarenceThomas dumps his conflicts forms on Friday before memorial day. #AhFreshAir"
"Spouse of #ConflictedClarenceThomas has every right to work for whomever, but he must recuse himself."
A day after Weiner waged his assault, political pundit Anthony Breitbart broke a story on his site Big Government of a lewd picture sent to a 21-year-old college co-ed from Weiner's Twitter account. The picture of an unidentified crotch, was sent to Breitbart from Twitter user @patriotusa76 as a screenshot, which @patriotusa76 said he captured reading Weiner's feed moments before the tweet was deleted.
Breitbart ran with the photo and the story took off, while Thomas' disclosure became an after thought. Weiner defended himself by claiming his Twitter account was hacked, but his claims have yet to be substantiated.
As a result, pundits and conspiracy theorist are probing deep into the coincidence. The liberal website The Daily Kos published a story with evidence they claim proves Weinergate is a conservative-led smear campaign.
Rep. Weiner's Wife, Huma Abedin Not Worried About Infidelity
NEW YORK– Huma Abedin, Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife isn't worried about infidelity after the news of a lewd picture of his crotch was sent to a 21-year-old college student via Twitter, according to friend a of Abedin.
"She's not worried about infidelity," said her friend. "She's confident and comfortable in her marriage."

Why are we such gear freaks in the NW?
By Charla Bear • Jun 8, 2012
In the Pacific Northwest, we know that yoga pants, polar fleece and hiking shoes are great for grocery shopping. But when we head into the great outdoors, we love to pile on the high-tech gear.
Sure, the weather here demands a certain level of protection from the elements. But what is it that compels people in the Pacific Northwest to want every piece of equipment out there?

Wilson Named Groovystuff Design Challenge Winner
Posted on November 6, 2013 by
DALLAS-Meghan Wilson from Auburn University placed first in the "Popular Vote at Market" for the Groovystuff by Design: Connecting Education with Industry Challenge at the recent High Point Market.
Wilson was one of 16 students in the Industrial Design program at Auburn University who participated in an education-to-industry collaboration with Groovystuff for the fall 2013 academic semester.

At its annual media days in New Orleans today, the Sun Belt Conference announced that it has signed an agreement with the St. Petersburg Bowl, the Papajohns.com Bowl and the Petro Sun Independence Bowl.
The agreement will call for bowl eligible teams from the Sun Belt to be available in these bowls should contracted teams not be able to fulfill their requirements.
The agreement begins this bowl season and is in place for 2009 as well.
"This is an excellent opportunity for our football league for many reasons," said Sun Belt commissioner Wright Waters. "It will give our teams a chance to playin regional bowl games, show that we can compete with quality opponents and prove that this league can attract crowds to games and influence TV ratings."
The Sun Belt champion will continue to play in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, which is scheduled for Dec. 21 at the Superdome.
The St. Petersburg Bowl will play its inaugural game Dec. 20 at Tropicana Field and is set to pit a team from the Big East against a team from Conference USA. The Papajohns.com Bowl is Dec. 29 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala and will pit a Big East team against an SEC team. Both of these bowls will have second choice of Sun Belt teams should one of their schools not be able to fulfill the requirement.
The Independence Bowl agreement would be for the Sun Belt team to be the third choice if one of its teams can't fulfill the agreement, or it would get second choice if the St. Petersburg Bowl and the Papajohns.com Bowl don't have an opening. The Independence Bowl is scheduled for Dec. 28 in Shreveport and pits an SEC team against a Big 12 team.

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The NBA slammed Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling with a lifetime ban and $2.5 million fine on Tuesday.
The league also plans to force the sale of the team.
Silver's penalties against Sterling come a few days after TMZ Sports and Deadspin acquired alleged audio recordings of the 80-year-old owner making racist comments to his girlfriend, V. Stiviano.
Silver, during his 2 p.m. press conference, said he interviewed Sterling about the tapes, adding the owner's views were deeply offensive and harmful, and "that they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage."
What's your take on the announcement? Were the penalties fair? Too harsh?

MOUNT PLEASANT — As prospective students and their parents come to Central Michigan University for a visit on Saturday, the Faculty Association will also be on hand to greet the students.
In a showing of unity, faculty members will talk to the high school students attending "CMU and You Day" from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. outside of the Health Professions building, Park Library, Bovee University Center and in the Anspach courtyard and again from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. before the football game.
CMU and You day is a yearly program where prospective students visit campus, take a tour and can watch a football game.
The faculty members and administration have been unable to come to an agreement on compensation and benefits in a contract since April. Both sides await the results of fact finding, which will provide a recommendation for a contract.
While the faculty contract expired June 30, they continue to be paid under the previous agreement.
"CMU faculty has continued to provide a quality education to all CMU students while struggling to bring about a fair and equitable contract settlement," said Faculty Association President Laura Frey.
On the first day of fall classes, Aug. 22, the faculty went on strike. A court injunction filed by the administration keeps the 600-member faculty union in the classroom until 20 days after fact finding.
CMU Board of Trustees Chairwoman Sarah Opperman said last week a contract would require a compromise. Provost Gary Shapiro said in an email to the sides would likely be unable to come to an agreement on their own.
"No matter what the university administration says or does, the CMU faculty will continue to be a positive and constructive force on campus — whether it's through their teaching, research, creative endeavors, or overall involvement with students," said Tim Connors, past president of the Faculty Association.

BLANDFORD While police yesterday continued to search for the husband of Karen Trudeau, a mother of two found stabbed to death in her home Friday morning, a Westhampton woman who lost her own daughter to homicide in 1993 thought of the children left behind.
"The first thing that came to my mind was the children," said Yoko Kato. "They lost a mother and a father. I'm thinking about their lives."
The death of Trudeau, 38, of 14 Russell Road, also made Kato immediately think about the stabbing death of her own daughter, the victim of domestic violence.
Kato's daughter Sherry A. Morton and grandson Cedric were stabbed to death by Cedric's father, Sean D. Seabrooks, in Morton's Northampton apartment. Seabrooks was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1994.
Kato said that Karen Trudeau, like her own daughter Sherry, must have experienced great fear in her last moments.
"She must have felt so alone in her fear and helplessness, her last moments in life," Kato said. "It was like my daughter's life."
Henry J. Trudeau, 39, is wanted for questioning and is suspected of stabbing his estranged wife to death, said Hampden County District Attorney William A. Bennett. Karen Trudeau had obtained a restraining order against her husband, and he was arrested for violating the order in March, Bennett said.
The couple had a history of "domestic discord" with divorce pending, Bennett said.
The Trudeaus' two children, both students at Gateway Middle School, were with relatives, police said Friday. The children were in school at the time the body was found at 8:45 a.m. Friday.
Kato said she still lives with guilt that she was unable to prevent the death of her daughter.
State police yesterday continued to look for a blue 2000 Chevrolet Geo Tracker that Henry Trudeau may have been driving. Henry Trudeau owns the Good Times Spirits Shop in Russell.

LANSING, Michigan — Jamal "Jay" Ghoneim, owner of Smoker's Kastle in Burton, said his customers come into his tobacco store and lounge for one reason.
"Everyone knows everyone. It's like 'Cheers.' No one's offending," he said.
The social atmosphere of Smoker's Kastle may change however, if a bill soon to be introduced in the state House of Representatives makes it to Gov. Jennifer Granholm's desk: It would ban smoking in all public places without exception.
Rep. Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc, is making the smoke ban bill his first piece of legislation, along with a bill that would repeal the Michigan Business Tax surcharge. The smoke-free bill is expected to be introduced to the House on Thursday.
Scott, whose campaign focused mostly on the economy, said he chose to introduce the smoking ban because of concerns he heard from constituents.
"It's a health issue," Scott said. "People are dying from secondhand smoke. There's no doubt about it. I don't understand how you can make exceptions when it comes to public health. If you agree this is a public health issue, you can't then turn around and say we're going to make exceptions for people to be contracting cancer."
But business owners such as Ghoneim are worried.
"We know it's going to affect day-to-day sales," Ghoneim said, adding that many of his customers buy cigars for the express purpose of smoking them in his shop while they watch sporting events or drink coffee.
"People aren't going to quit. They're just going to find a way around it," he said.
In response to smokers who are aware of the risks and still want a social place outside their home to smoke, Scott said, "To me it would be an odd argument for them to say they don't care, that's their own prerogative.
"I just think, given the data we've seen of what this does, we really can't deal in extremes anymore, and that we're just behind. Michigan's behind in a lot of things."
Some regulars at other businesses with rooms set aside for smoking, such as the Old Sequoia Room at the Redwood Lodge in Mundy Township, disagree.
Steve Poulos, co-owner of the White Horse Tavern in Flint, attended a cigar dinner in the Old Sequoia Room on Tuesday and said he voted for Scott but doesn't agree with the potential ban.
"I think they've got better things to worry about than smoking right now. If everybody had to do it, then you wouldn't have a choice," he said. "There's enough places that have gone nonsmoking on their own. That should be good enough."
Little Joe's restaurant in Grand Blanc is one smoke-free restaurant -- and one Scott often mentions in his argument for the ban.
Owner Joe Abbott said he was hoping the state would be "the bad guy" and make the decision for him, but going smoke-free has been great for business, which he attributes to his family-oriented clientele. He said his lunch crowd has increased and that even more families dine there than before.
"There's even smokers that come in here because they say they don't want to eat around smokers," he said.
However, Abbott said, "I think it should be up to the individual establishment. I don't think it should be a state-regulated thing," adding that if he were in a different location or had a different clientele, the decision wouldn't have been so easy.
Bruce Trevithick, executive director for the Genesee County Cancer Connection, an agency that provides screenings and educational programs for individuals, said a complete ban is the only way to go.
"Where would you draw the line? If cigar bars are OK, then are regular bars OK? Then are restaurants OK?" he said.
Trevithick, 44, of Grand Blanc Township, was a smoker before he quit about 20 years ago and said he understands "the perils of someone who is addicted to tobacco and how difficult it is to quit." He is part of a local task force fighting to reduce people's exposure to tobacco smoke, and said people need to keep in mind that there are employees being subjected to second-hand smoke in establishments that allow smoking.
"It's not really fair to those people," he said.
A bill similar to Scott's that would have resulted in a complete ban passed the Senate in the last legislative session, but it didn't pass the House, which amended it to include certain exceptions. Granholm has said she would sign any smoking bill that comes across her desk.
"For a lot of conservatives, this isn't the role of government; government shouldn't be getting involved in the private sector," Scott said. "This is kind of thought of as a Democratic bill. I don't have a problem throwing my name behind it, because I believe it's right for the community."

August 18: Cardinals (70-52) @ Cubs (53-69)
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
The Cardinals, 8-7 against the Cubs this season, can earn the series win with a victory behind Adam Wainwright on Sunday. Wainwright also has the chance to join select company, as a win today would improve him to 6-0 in his career at Wrigley Field; only Ron Perranoski, Vida Blue and Bobby J. Jones have won each of their first six decisions at this ballpark.
Wainwright also has the chance to join Washington's Jordan Zimmermann as the National League's second 14-game winner. He has been stuck on 13 wins for five starts — his longest winless stretch since last season. Wainwright's last victory over the Cubs came back in September 2010 here in Chicago.
Once again, Kolten Wong draws the start against the right-handed Edwin Jackson. Daniel Descalso does so as well, perhaps an indication that a platoon is developing at short. Pete Kozma continues to start against lefties, but Descalso has been in the lineup each of the last three times a right-hander has started against the Cardinals.

Terri Moulton Horman's attorney argues in court papers that his client should have "frequent and continuing contact'' with her daughter, Kiara, now 5, saying it's in the girl's "best interest.''
Horman will seek temporary custody of her daughter at hearings set for Dec. 19 and 20 before Multnomah County Judge Henry J. Kantor.
The stepmother of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman hasn't been permitted to see the girl in more than three years because of a restraining order that her estranged husband, Kaine Horman, first obtained in June 2010.
Kyron Horman vanished from Skyline School
on June 4, 2010, after Terri Horman brought him there early that day to attend a science
fair. The boy never made it to his regular class, but wasn't reported
missing until later that afternoon when he didn't return home by school
bus. The state's largest search-and-rescue operation turned up no traces
of him. A criminal investigation continues with no arrests made.
Terri Horman's lawyer Peter Bunch said he's tried unsuccessfully to initiate some "appropriate parental contact'' between Kiara and her mother over the last three years.
Kaine Horman's lawyers will counter that Terri Horman not be permitted to have any parenting time with their daughter.
Bunch quoted from a deposition in which Kaine Horman says he and Terri Horman were "average'' parents and that Terri Horman cared for Kiara between 50 and 70 percent of the time "at minimum,'' according to court papers.
Bunch said he'll provide expert testimony to help the court determine "the best circumstances under which Kiara can reconnect with her mother.''
He said Kaine Horman confirmed during his deposition that neither Skyline School, Kiara's pediatrician, nor Terri Horman's physician "ever raised concerns about (Terri Horman's) parenting skills,'' court papers say.
The couple's divorce trial will move forward at the start of the new year, while the full child custody and parenting trial will wait until mid-June.
In August, Judge Kantor signed a civil order that requires Terri Horman to have no contact with her husband and their daughter as divorce proceedings resume.
The civil no-contact order replaced the Family Abuse Prevention Act restraining order that Kaine Horman had renewed each year since 2010. In each renewal petition for the restraining order, Kaine Horman had argued that local and federal law enforcement are investigating Terri Horman in connection with Kyron's disappearance and the restraining order is sought to protect him and their daughter.
The civil order said Kaine Horman is awarded exclusive use of the home on Northwest Sheltered Nook Road in Portland, and Terri Horman can't come within 150 feet of the house, Kaine Horman's job at Intel Corp. in Hillsboro, or his gym in Beaverton.
Terri Horman is also required to stay away from Skyline School and from entering or trying to enter their
daughter Kiara's daycare.

: I live in Sacramento CA. About 3 weeks ago I had these dark green shoots pop up. They did not have any flowere buds, but last week they bloomed the beautiful purple flowers. They are small and bell shaped in the way that they hang. There are several blooms on one stalk. They are light porple with dark purple streaks on them. The area where the flowers came up is right underneath our drainage pipe, and the area was severley flooded recently. Any idea what they are? Thank you!
