Creative Commons made it easy to start CCHits.net
This is a guest blog post by Jon Spriggs (@jontheniceguy) about CCHits.net and its promotion of Creative Commons licensed music, artists and podcasts. Jon recalls his personal journey, motivations and influences in developing the site.
It's always hard to talk about a project you've started. The inspiration for projects can come from a hundred different places and none of those are the key to why the project happened. CCHits.net is no different, but this post is here to talk about why CCHits.net (henceforth referred to as "CCHits") came about and why Creative Commons plays so much of a part in how it all got started.

OpenAttribute: Making Creative Commons Attribution Easier
This is a guest post by @patlockley, one of the team members of the Open Attribute project.
Creative Commons licensed content is awesome, and everywhere—from Flickr, to Wikipedia, to your favourite library. Attributing it properly, and telling people how to attribute it properly can be difficult and confusing. The first rule for re-using openly licensed content is that you have to properly attribute the creator. Read More…

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
"The game was called very physical — (the referees) allowed them to be physical, and I didn't think we handled that very well. When you think about how many plays we had at the basket where they stripped us or took the ball away — usually if you hold onto that it's at least a foul, but we didn't hold onto the ball tonight. I just thought they were the more physical team."
Perhaps that was the most troubling note of all.
"We knew they were the more athletic team," Rivers said. "But we can't allow them to be the more physical team as well."
Herald – Celtics don't rise for bell
When was the last time Doc called out the guys for lack of physicality? When the Celtics are playing at maximum effort, there's only one team in the league that can out-bang (did I just make up a word?) them and that's LA.
They do have an excuse: two of their most physical players remain on the bench (Glen Davis should return Sunday). A lot of the blame will fall on Nenad Krstic:
And if there's one thing Krstic has learned so far, it's that it doesn't take much to throw an entire defensive coverage scheme out of synch.
"You just need one guy to make a mistake and the whole defense becomes a little weaker," Krstic said. "That's happening right now, especially with first unit. I'm still learning. Sometimes I make a mistake, so guys try to help me. All the new guys are really trying to fit in. Everybody's playing hard. Everybody giving 100 percent. So it's not like the effort isn't there. It's just… getting more familiar with the system."
While Krstic has certainly had his share of issues defensively, he did just drop 16 points and 15 rebounds – his first double-double with the Celtics – which came after a 20-point, nine-rebound effort against the Los Angeles Clippers.
I love the dynamic Krstic brings to the offense and I'm more than happy to sacrifice some defense. Can you really blame the defense after holding a team to 89 points?

On Page 2, Kobe isn't the only one to hold late-night workouts.
There's a sign-in sheet near the entrance of the Boston Celtics' practice facility, and more often than you'd imagine, coach Doc Rivers will arrive the morning after a game to find Ray Allen's or Paul Pierce's name scribbled at the top with a timestamp past midnight…. "I know there's been many times when, after games, I hear in the morning that guys went straight to Waltham to shoot," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers.
While Rivers said he was a fan of what Bryant did because of the positive message it sent to kids, he did stress that he wouldn't have allowed any such action on the TD Garden floor. Particularly not for an hour and a half.
"Turn the lights out," Rivers joked. "No doubt about it. The lights have to go out."
ESPN Boston – Celtics no stranger to overtime
Call the national media. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen want to win just as much as Kobe Bryant.

Background: Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents for HIV-1 infection recommend combining at least three agents. The toxicity, cost, and complexity of such regimens warrant the search for other options.
Methods: MONARK is a prospective, open-label, randomized, 96-week trial comparing the safety and efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy with a standard lopinavir/ritonavir plus zidovudine and lamivudine regimen as an initial treatment regimen in HIV-infected patients with HIV-RNA levels less than 100 000 copies/ml. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with HIV-1-RNA levels below 400 copies/ml at week 24 and below 50 copies/ml at week 48.
Results: Eight-three and 53 patients were randomly assigned and exposed in the monotherapy and triple-drug groups, respectively. At week 48, by an intent-to-treat analysis, 53 of 83 patients (64%) in the monotherapy group and 40 of 53 patients (75%) in the triple-drug group achieved the primary endpoint (P = 0.19). The on-treatment analysis indicates that 80 and 95% of patients reached the primary endpoint in the monotherapy and triple-drug groups, respectively (P = 0.02). In the monotherapy arm, protease inhibitor-associated resistance mutations were seen in three of the 21 patients qualifying for genotypic resistance testing, with a modest impact on lopinavir susceptibility. None of the serious reported adverse events were considered to be related to study treatment.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that lopinavir/ritonavir monotherapy demonstrates lower rates of virological suppression when compared with lopinavir/ritonavir triple therapy and therefore should not be considered as a preferred treatment option for widespread use in antiretroviral-naive patients.

Kerry Sullivan was a community activist who worked all of his adult life to promote conservation of our blue planet, waterfront access and prevent the thoughtless development of our shared marine resources. He was director of the Natural Resources Protective Association, helped start the North Shore Waterfront Conservancy, was active in the Fisherman's Conservation Association, wrote on the marine environment for the Staten Island Register and assisted every conservation and environmental group in Staten Island as well as activists in Brooklyn and Clean Ocean Action, a New Jersey-based group.
The Parks Department is preparing a new park on the North Shore. Construction on the former Blissenbach Marina is proceeding toward a May opening. This new site will provide sorely needed waterfront access to a community nearly cut off from the water from Snug Harbor to Mariners Harbor. Work is moving quietly without even a sign at the front gate. The unnamed park will help residents enjoy a stroll on a quiet lawn awhile they view maritime activity along with sea birds on the Kill Van Kull. There should be interpretive boards along the walkways relating the importance of this access site to the early residents of Staten Island, the Lenape Indians. Another could detail the role of Staten Island and the entire harbor in New York's rise to eminence as an international port and global economic engine.
Sullivan Marina Park would honor the memory of a community activist who was an advocate for the sea and all the life in it. It is my hope this letter will begin a conversation in the communities adjacent to the park as well as environmental and parks' advocacy groups to begin the formation of a "Friends" of the Marina Park to provide the Parks Department support and community input on the future of this new resource.

LSU wide receiver Terrance Toliver was tasered twice during a disturbance early Sunday morning which resulted in misdemeanor summons being issued to Toliver and LSU basketball player Dennis Harris, a Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman said Monday.
Cpl. L'Jean McKneely said Toliver was the "more aggressive" participant in a fight with Timothy Moran. When Toliver failed to heed the officers' warnings to stop fighting he was tasered. When told to stay down, Toliver ignored the police and tried to walk away when he was tasered again, McKneely said.
The fight happened in the parking lot of Fred's, a popular student bar in the Tigerland area near the campus. Toliver was issued citations for disturbing the peace, public intoxication and resisting a police officer.
Harris was told to leave the scene but continued yelling at the officers, the report said. He was cited for interfering with a police officer. Moran was issued citations for disturbing the peace and public intoxication.
All three must appear in city court for arraignments. The police department considers the citations as arrests although none of the three were booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prisons because the charges were for misdemeanors.
Toliver told an official at LSU that he was not the aggressor and was trying to break up a fight.
"We are in the process of gathering information on this incident," LSU Coach Miles said Sunday. "We are going to investigate it thoroughly to find out the facts and then act accordingly."
Miles was expected to make a further statement Monday but wanted to wait until he had seen the police report. Miles requested the report but will not be able to see it until Tuesday.
LSU men's basketball Coach Trent Johnson said discipline for Harris and fellow basketball player Garrett Green, who was present but not cited, will be dealt with internally.
"Wrong place, wrong time," Johnson said. "It will be dealt with internally, and it will be dealt with four or five days a week for the spring and the summer, and probably later than that.
"The thing that is disappointing to me is the Dennis was out at 1:45 (a.m.), Garrett Green was out at 1:45 and Garrett Green didn't play the other day because of his back injury and was getting treatment. Dennis has been limited in terms of his back, too."
Johnson said both players will be eligible to play Thursday when LSU plays Tennessee in the first round of the SEC Tournament in Nashivlle.

Peter May has a feature piece on KG up on Yahoo! today. The whole thing focuses on KG's recovery and the challenges he faces because of it. It's a good piece… but this quote about him and Doc is really striking.
reason is to improve,'' Garnett went on. "I'm like one of those old
cats at the park who have a certain way about how they do stuff. When I
get on the court, I work hard. And sometimes I feel Doc is tearing me
back, not from not necessarily getting better, but from the workload.
It's something I have to understand. At first, I thought he was saying,
'Hey, sit down. Get some rest.' There's that word again. I think I've
done a pretty good job of listening to him and finding out what he
wants from me. I'd do anything for Doc and he knows that. I'd run
through a brick wall if he wants me to. He tends to say, 'Hey, I'll
tell you when I want you do that.' It's about me understanding what he
That shows how much respect KG has for Doc Rivers. And when your big dog has respect for you, the rest of the team has no choice but to fall in line. That's part of why this works. I know Paul Pierce and Doc have grown to really respect one another as well.
Back to KG…
It's an interesting piece because this injury has forced him to be something he hasn't been before. He's had to back off when he's used to going full throttle. He's learning patience. If you're looking for something positive out all of this, it's that KG is learning even more about himself… which he can use to get the most out of his body in the last few years of his career.

Davon Hairston smiled at his family and supporters as he walked into a Dauphin County courtroom Thursday afternoon.
Moments later, a jury convicted him of multiple charges for a September 2011 home invasion in Middletown that targeted Penn State students.
The convictions, which defense attorney Jonathan Crisp said he will appeal, are sure to send the 19-year-old Harrisburg man to state prison when Judge Richard A. Lewis sentences him in November.
Deputy District Attorney David Wilson said the law requires that Hairston receive at least a 5- to 10-year prison term because the jury concluded that he used a gun during the crime.
The jurors deliberated about four hours before convicting Hairston of robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, simple assault, making terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, theft and conspiracy charges.
One of Hairston's female supporters began to weep quietly as the verdict was announced. Several other family members reacted to the verdict in silence. The victims weren't in the courtroom.
The deliberations took nearly as long as the trial.
Wilson's witnesses included two of the victims, who both identified Hairston as the gunman who led three other men during the robbery. One of Hairston's co-defendants testified that Hairston was the armed ring leader for the invasion.
Crisp challenged the victims' identifications of his client, noting that soon after the crime they chose another man out of a police photo line-up. Also, Crisp contended that the co-defendant, Brian Henry, was lying to save himself and to avoid naming the real leader of the robbers.
Henry, who was 17 when the crime occurred, pleaded guilty to participating in the robbery and served a sentence in a juvenile detention center. Another man, Nate Eaton, also pleaded guilty and received probation. Hairston's cousin, Joe Hairston, is awaiting trial in the case.

We figured yesterday was going to be a close game and it was.
Andy Pettitte, cap pulled down, steely look in his eyes, kept his team in the game.
The Yankees cashed in on a few breaks -- the ump not punching Jeter out on the 2-2 pitch and Jose Reyes picking the wrong time to dance off second -- with the white-hot David Wright at the plate.
Memo to Reyes: Yes, Andy is slow to the plate. But he also has the best pickoff move in baseball.
Anyway, thanks Jose-eeeeee-Jo-seee!!!! for the vapor lock.
It was good to see Veras and Farnsworth contribute. But one good Farnsworth inning does not mean you can trust the guy. My heart was in my throat the entire eighth.
In the words of colleague Pete Spencer: "Farnsworth is like a puzzle. You have to figure out where he is in his cycle.Some mathematicians at MIT have figured out the formula: good-bad-bad-good-good-bad-bad-awful-unhittable-despicable-great-bad-good."
As for Mariano Rivera, who closed without breaking a sweat, well, even in a slumping economy Mo is always $$$.
Mariano has now saved 54 of Pettitte's 210 career wins. That's second all-time for a pitching duo; Dennis Eckersley saved 55 of Bob Welch's wins for the A's.
How about that idiot in the media who asked Andy how he felt going up against an Ace and a two-time Cy Young Award winner.
Andy should have said: "I'm pretty scared. After all, I've only pitched in 6 World Series, won 4 rings, beat John Smoltz 1-0 in a pivotal Game 5 and won the clincher in 1998. It's pretty intimidating to go up against Johan Santana, who manages to come up just short in big games and has never gotten out of the first round of the playoffs."
Hey Andy. You forgot to mention he's now 7-7.
And spare me any other stats on Johan.
Let's say it together. JOHAN SANTANA HAS 7 WINS AND 7 LOSSES.
Has he been good? Yes.
Has he been great? No.
The Mets needed to sign him.
But check back with me in year 3 of this $137 million contract.
OK, we move on.
Today folks, is found money.
Coming into this series, you had to figure the Mets were primed to take 3 out of 4. Besides Pettitte, the Yanks were throwing Dan Giese, Sidney Ponson and Darrell Rasner.
The Bombers normally don't touch Ollie Perez and I'd be surprised if the Mets don't knock around Rasner.
Hopefully, the Yanks find a way.
Hopefully, the Yanks will be up by a run late, and with two outs and David Wright at the plate, Jose Reyes will be dancing off second.
To my buddies ECPoet13 and sinative1967:
Of course I'm aware that Carlos Delgado wasn't back and most Mets fans (excluding the usual knee-jerk reactionists that all teams have) didn't think he was back. I was kidding. But since this is a Yankee blog, I was also trying to point out to Yankee fans that a player who is essentially shot had a day for the ages -- because of the bums on the mound. That the Yankees pitching situation is in such dire straits right now, that they are auditioning for two spots in the rotation until guys get healthy or Cashman can make a trade (which, realistically is still a few weeks away...Most teams are not out of the playoff hunt and nobody is going to help the Yankees).
Carlos Delgado is indeed over the hill, but he has always killed the Yankees. Also, we all know Delgado's bat has slowed, but he IS a major league hitter. When you have minor league pitchers (Giese, Ohlendorf) and over the hill pitchers (Hawkins) throwing him room-service fastballs, well, he can still hit the ball a mile.
And yes, a performance like Friday's has raised Delgado's trade value. I would be very surprised if he wasn't back in the American League a month from now playing for the A's, Twins or even the Red Sox -- if Big Papi is still out.
As for Sidney Ponson, he was gutty. Do I like him? No. Was he lucky? Sure. But he hurled a shutout for six. And if you have followed Fat Sid's career, he is an enigma. He walks a tightrope on and off the field. But he was once a blue-chip prospect, which is why teams keep taking a chance.
And as long as we're playing the gutty game, yeah, Mike Pelfrey was gutty too. Most of the Yankee hits were cheapies and his nasty sinker bailed him out of some tough spots. I like Pelfrey and wouldn't give up on him.
Both New York teams are flawed, but there are no great teams in baseball.
In my power rankings, the top 4 teams in baseball right now are the Red Sox, Rays, Cubs and Angels.
I expect the Yankees to add/acquire a reliever and a starting pitcher. The Mets need a right-handed bat and probably another starter.
Finally, unless there's a Subway World Series, today marks the Yanks finally appearance at Shea. As a Yankee fan, I considered Shea a dump. But as a Jets season-ticket holder, it was the wonderful place I grew up watching the great Joe Namath. And as a music lover, I saw Bruce Springsteen (one of the many times) put on one hell of a show there.
Anyway, I'm down the Jersey Shore this week, so if Rasner heads for the showers early, I'm heading for the beach.

As doubles partners, they are accomplishing much more.
The Aquinas College duo, ranked 22nd in NAIA Division II, has helped the Saints get off to a 14-2 start on a youthful team comprised of three juniors, two sophomores and four freshmen.
Both Hendrick and Artaev are freshmen.
"They were competitors when they were little ... since they were 12," Aquinas men's coach Jerry Hendrick said. "They'd always meet in USTA qualifiers. They had some great matches, some long battles.
"They became friends playing against each other. What they've done together in doubles is something I've not had in 20 years of coaching at Aquinas," he added. "From the beginning, in the fall, they've been a special team."
Hendrick, a former Northview High School standout, is the coach's son. He is a supreme technician on the court who possesses all of the shots required of someone who is 18-4 at No. 1 singles.
Artaev, from St. Joseph, is a big-serving No. 2 singles player with a 16-4 record.
Together, they have been almost unstoppable at No. 1 doubles, putting together a 20-2 mark, while complementing each other's playing styles and achieving a rare chemistry unheard of from a pair of freshmen.
They haven't lost since Feb. 18 -- a streak of 12 consecutive matches.
"We had never played doubles with each other before," Hendrick said. "We play kind of opposite. Nik plays with a lot of power. He's got the big serve and the big returns and the big ground strokes. I just clean up what gets past him. I'm sort of the finesse guy and he's more of the power guy."
Artaev insists Hendrick makes it simple for him.
"I never played doubles in high school, but playing with Aaron makes my life easier. It's so much easier when you don't have to do it all yourself and you've got someone who's got your back out there.
"I wasn't a big fan of doubles before. Now, I like it."
It has been a smashing partnership right from the start, Jerry Hendrick said.
"It's a beautiful blend. Nik brings the power with a 120-mph serve and Aaron's strength is his return of serve. Nik has a great forehand and Aaron's return is something you'd see in an instructional video."
The Saints are 16th in the latest NAIA-II rankings.
Five of the six players who're part of the singles lineup are from West Michigan.
Sophomore Kyle Masteller (West Ottawa) plays No. 3 singles, junior Travis Wolf (Portage Central) is at No. 4 singles, junior John Telfer (Midland) is at No. 5 singles and junior Michael Sendor (St. Joseph) is at No. 6 singles.
"It's been a lot of fun with this team," Jerry Hendrick said. "We knew from the start we had a good group of kids."
Aaron Hendrick agreed.
"We've got a lot of depth. We're young, we have no seniors, but we've got a lot of talent," he said. "We're ranked 16th in the nation as a team, but we'd like to get higher. We'd like to see how high we can get."

Environmental Studies and Sciences
Director: Frank T. Kuserk
The environmental studies and sciences program at Moravian College acquaints students with the myriad environmental issues that face us today. It seeks to develop a framework in which students can work closely with faculty and one another to analyze problems, test assumptions, and debate issues as they affect our lives as citizens of our community, our nation, and the world. The perspective we seek to develop is strongly interdisciplinary, incorporating the natural sciences as well as economics, history, philosophy, and political science. In addition, it is designed to transcend national boundaries. All students in the program, regardless of their area of concentration, will share important common experiences, including a unique capstone course in which they will work in teams to investigate environmental issues.
Students who pursue environmental majors at Moravian have the option of earning either a B.S. in environmental science or a B.A. in environmental policy and economics. All students in both majors will have a shared body of knowledge through common coursework before the upper-level courses in their respective tracks, and through the capstone seminar course, which B.S. and B.A. students will take in combined sections. The balance of shared experience and field-specific knowledge is designed to foster cooperative work and learning among students and faculty.
As prerequisites to the program, all students must take Economics 152 and a course in statistics (Mathematics 107 or Economics 156), preferably before the spring term of the sophomore year.
The Common Environmental Studies and Sciences Core
Students in both tracks are required to take six course units in a common core of study. Five courses are designed to create a foundation that fosters understanding of this interdisciplinary field. The final writing-intensive course, which should be taken in the senior year, is intended specifically to teach and demonstrate research methods through integrative group research projects and presentations.

EASTHAMPTON — Members of the Western Massachusetts Technical Rescue team are now better prepared to conduct confined space rescues thanks to to Columbia Gas of Massachusetts.
The company donated three natural gas combustible indicators – and provided the training to safely use them – Friday morning.
Confined spaces pose can pose safety challengers to rescuers because they can contain hazardous materials in gas or liquid form.
The donation of the state-of-the-art detectors, which monitor air for the displacement of oxygen and the presence of toxic or explosive gases, allows members of the team to perform an initial assessment of the air before they enter the confined space.
Andrea Luppi, manager of communications and community relations for Columbia Gas, said the Sensit Gold G2 detectors are valued at $1,500 apiece.
"This is really great," said William Selkirk, director of the Western Massachusetts Technical Rescue Team and assistant chief of the South Hadley District 2 Fire Department. "They are doing a great thing for us. It's really a big deal."
The team, which has about 80 members from fire departments across Western Massachusetts, formed about a year ago and has been operational since January. It is comprised of three separate units that serve Hampden, Berkshire and Hampshire/Franklin counties
So far, team members have earned technical certification for high angle, steep slope and confined space rescue, said Westfield Fire Capt. Rebecca Boutin, who also serves as safety and training coordinator for the team.
The team has deployed five times and its work has included several rescues on Mount Skinner and aiding in the emergency response for a Vermont woman who lost her life while tubing in the Deerfield River in Conway. Selkirk said.
Selkirk, Boutin and several firefighters from Holyoke and Chicopee received the indicators and a two-hour training in their use at the Columbia Gas facility on Industrial Parkway.
While that training was going on, NiSource Inc., parent company to Columbia Gas, presented a $5,000 grant to NoFIRES, a non-profit program serving 51 communities in the region, offering education and intervention to juvenile firesetters.The grant was presented through the NiSource Charitable Foundation.
In the 18 months that the program has been in operation, NoFIRES has received more than 85 referrals to the program, Mary Carey, communications director for the Northwestern District Attorney's office, said.
Lori Devine, executive director of NoFIRES, said the money will be used to pay for program screeners and instructors.
It's a great program," said Russell Anderson, Granby Fire Chief and a former chairman of the NoFIRES Board of Directors.

Tim Palen And Nancy Kirkpatrick To Co-Exist As Marketing Chiefs For Lionsgate And Summit Respectively
It has been up in the air if Lionsgate would get rid of their own marketing head Tim Palen, in favor of Summit's marketing chief Nancy Kirkpatrick now that the two studios have merged. It was announced today that the duo would both stay on with Lionsgate and would share responsibility of the films that Lionsgate will be producing in the coming months and years. Namely: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 and The Hunger Games.
From Deadline.com
One of the biggest question marks since Lionsgate merged with Summit has been what would happen to their two veteran marketing heads, Tim Palen and Nancy Kirkpatrick. So here's what's been decided because the two companies have a big slate of films coming: Tim Palen has just been given a new long-term deal as Chief Marketing Officer at Lionsgate which is the title he already holds. And Summit's President of Worldwide Marketing Nancy Kirkpatrick will continue in her role. Included on their individual plates are more Hunger Games films for Lionsgate as well the finale of theTwilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Part 2 for Summit. I think it's a smart decision to keep the two marketing groups especially since the two labels are still separate for now and the forseeable future, if for no other reasons than you'd hate to see either of these two pros go to the competition. And if the two labels ever become one, then Palen and Kirkpatrick should have a Fight Club brawl – and I'll be there to watch.
thnx to T-T

It won't be at Barclays Center or the newly renovated Madison Square Garden, but there will still be something on the line when the Knicks and Nets meet at Nassau Coliseum tonight.
If the word "pride" popped into your head, then you clearly aren't familiar with preseason basketball. Rather, the new-look Knicks and new-look Nets are battling for the hearts and minds (read: dollars) of the tri-state's fickle basketball fans.
Yes, there are still throngs of Knicks loyalists in and around the five boroughs, but we all know nearly as many fair-weather NBA fans who are sitting back and waiting for one of New York City's two teams to spark something.
These are desperate times for billionaires James Dolan and Mikhail Prokhorov. Both have invested billions in their teams and it's too early to turn off any prospective fans.
Should Deron Williams' delicate passing or Joe Johnson's ruthless scoring ability impress Long Islanders, perhaps the Nets can continue siphoning off customers who would otherwise be buying Knicks merchandise this time of year.
But maybe the Knicks can reclaim some of the fans they lost through years of Scott Layden, Isiah Thomas, Eddy Curry, Stephon Marbury as well as the rise and departure of Jeremy Lin.
For more, here's NJ.com's aggregation of Knicks news from around the web:
• NJ.com's Tony Williams has noticed a particular pattern in the 11th annual GM survey: "Of the more striking opinions, 67.7 percent of the executives picked the Celtics to run away with the Atlantic Division, with the Nets and Knicks tying for second (13.3 percent)... Carmelo Anthony wasn't even in the top five for 'Players that Make Opposing Coaches to Make the Most Adjustments.' Naturally, James was the top-rated player, since the 6-foot-9, 260-pounder can essentially play all five positions."
• Wednesday night might be a clear picture for the Knicks, wrote NBCNewYork.com's Josh Alper: "The Knicks, meanwhile, stroll into Wednesday night with several ailing players on their ancient roster, including Amar'e Stoudemire and J.R. Smith. As a result of the injuries and the rather haphazardly put together roster, no one's quite sure who is starting where and what the rotations will look like to start the season... It might not get any clearer as the season progresses, either. With a bunch of old players, the Knicks are likely to be constantly changing their rotations around Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler based on who is available on a given night and that's no recipe for success."
• Of course, as Howard Beck of The New York Times reminds us, the real rivalry will begin on opening night: "The real start to the rivalry — whatever form it takes — will come eight nights later, on Nov. 1, when the Knicks and the Nets open the regular season at Barclays Center. Knicks fans are vowing to take over the Nets' new home, just as they did for years in East Rutherford and Newark. Nets fans are scoffing at the notion."
• As Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported, the Knicks will be shorthanded tonight: "Mike Woodson announced on Tuesday that Amar'e Stoudemire, J.R. Smith, Marcus Camby and Rasheed Wallace won't be available for the game. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd are all expected to play, but their minutes will be limited as the countdown toward the start of the 2012-13 season is officially underway."
• Prices continue to soar for the opener, wrote Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com: "The current average price for the Knicks-Nets battle at the Barclays Center on Nov. 1 is $819.89, up 21.39% from the price on Oct. 1 ($675.31), according to TiqIQ, a website that tracks ticket prices on secondary markets."
• Mike Kurylo of KnickerBlogger.com gave his preview of the team: "Here's my thinking: New York concentrated on the defensive end, and that'll hurt them on offense. Sure Landry Fields will be gone, as will Jeffries, Douglas, and Bibby who were all mediocre to horrendous on offense. But it's not like they went out to get some great scorers. Felton had a ts% of 49.1 which was worse than Fields' 50.6%. And Raymon averages nearly 3 more shots per 36 minutes, which means from a shooting perspective he's a bigger drag on the offense. Brewer, the guy we collectively penciled in as the starting SG, shot a 50.5% ts%."

Teresa Giudice brings along her three, count 'em, three besties to her consultation with a plastic surgeon about her boosting her "bubbies." Jacqueline Laurita, Dina Manzo and Caroline Manzo are all blessed with prodigious bosoms, but we discover that Jacqueline's and Dina's were not God-given. We know, you're surprised.
Dina is actually the most concerned about Teresa getting too greedy in the cup department: "They get in the way, they're annoying, they're obnoxious," she warns her. And to the camera: "When you go too big, it's a fine line between tasteful and tacky." We're surprised she's even aware there's a line.
Very little on Danielle Staub in this promo, except Teresa saying that they're past the drama. We bet.

The Detroit News reports the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments today indefinitely suspended the project after coming up $40 million to $50 million short on funding needed to get things rolling.
April 27, DetNews.com: "The project is not dead; it is moving forward," Carmine Palombo, SEMCOG's director of transportation, told a meeting of the project's steering committee this morning. "But we have two big problems: Initially, we have no one to run it long-term and a dedicated long-term source of funding."SEMCOG says it has spent $33 million on the project to this point, but it missed out on $100 million in federal funds earmarked for the project in 2005 because the estimated cost-per-rider of more than $70 remains too high.
Our friends at AnnArbor.com report SEMCOG maintains hope it can fund the project in a couple of possible ways:
- Michigan gas tax increase: Palombo "said a modest increase in the gas tax — along with increases in vehicle registrations and other fees — could raise $1 billion annually for road and transit projects in Michigan, and $100 million of that could go to projects like the Ann Arbor-to-Detroit rail line."
- Other federal funding: "Palombo said SEMCOG plans to go after part of a new $2.5 billion pot of money coming from the Federal Railroad Administration in the near future. There also is an estimated $600 million available in a second round of federal TIGER grant money that SEMCOG has its eyes on."
The early reaction on Twitter -- a mixture of ellipses resignation and ALL CAPS frustration -- captured the disappointment of the news:
- mandywarhol: Once again I'm not surprised at all...
- johnnavarra: FFUUUUUUUUU
- jasonrashaad: Other major US cities continue to point and laugh.

Mercer Island real estate listings remain static during summer
There are 148 single family and condominium listings on the market on the Island, seven more than June, but down from 215 listings a year ago.
Split up, there are 121 single family residences and 27 condos. The median price continues to see-saw. In June, it was $875,950; in July, the median sales price dropped to $770,000, compared to $872,500 a year ago. But if you remember last year, July was the tail end of the rush to buy before the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit.
Pending sales, those with mutually agreed contracts that have not yet closed numbered 31 in July — exactly the same as last year, with single family homes accounting for 28 of the sales.
In spite of all the grim economic news of the past couple of weeks, John Deely, principal managing broker of Coldwell Banker Bain in Seattle, said he doesn't think home ownership has lost its appeal. Deely worked at the Mercer Island office for 15 years and has been in the industry for 30 years.
"If you go back not that far, people didn't look at a home as an investment, rather a life issue," Deely said. "It's our nature as human beings to pursue happiness in the place we live."
Deely said the low supply is a positive sign. He said the market offers the most affordable choices seen in years. Acknowledging that interest rates, which are hovering around 4 percent, are attractive, he also noted that lenders are closely scrutinizing everyone who wants to borrow money.
Mercer Island is known for upper-end homes, which Deely said are traditionally a cash market.
"We're seeing buyers come in for those trophy properties because they're at a historical low," he said.
However, Lennox Scott, chairman and CEO of John L. Scott Real Estate, said, "Lower sales activity is being reported in the outlying markets and in the high end."
Deely doesn't think recent economic news will have a devastating affect on the market because, he said, housing is a fundamental need. Joe Spencer, president and COO of John L. Scott Real Estate, said he expects consumer confidence and sales to continue rising now that the fear over the national debt crisis has subsided.

Last South Korean polls prior to election put Park over the Moon
December 14, 2012, 12:01 am TWN
SEOUL -- The last polls allowed before next week's South Korean presidential election all showed a lead for conservative favorite Park Geun-hye over her liberal rival, but by varying margins.
The four surveys published Thursday, but based on data gathered before North Korea's provocative launch of a long-range rocket on Wednesday, put Park's lead over Moon Jae-in as narrow as 0.5 points or as wide as 3.5 points.
A poll commissioned by KBS TV gave Park, the ruling party candidate, 44.9 percent of the vote, compared to 41.4 percent for Moon from the opposition Democratic United Party.
Another commissioned by JTBC TV put the lead at 48 percent for Park over 47.5 for Moon.
Poll numbers have fluctuated quite widely over the course of the campaign, but shown Park with a consistent edge in the race to the Dec. 19 ballot.
Moon had been hoping to receive a boost with the withdrawal last month of the left-leaning independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, a software mogul who threw his support behind Moon, but with only lukewarm enthusiasm.
Daily opinion polls by the independent polling agency Real Meter indicated that Moon had gained some ground in recent days.
Support for Park slipped from 52 percent to 48 percent from Saturday to Wednesday, while Moon's figures rose from 44.1 percent to 47.5 percent, Real Meter said.
Under South Korea's election law, no more polls will be allowed before next Wednesday's ballot.

For more than 100 years volunteer fire departments operated fairly independently, responding to emergencies in their local communities and relying on a steady source of manpower and funding.

Scott Hutchinson and Warren County Intergovernment Cooperative (COG) Fire Services Committee Chairman Paul Pascuzzi cut a cake decorated with the county Fire and Public Safety Services logo, to officially inaugurate the new service. At left is a screen shot of the site's home page.
They're still responding 24-7, but the demands of training, finances and difficulty recruiting new members have taken a toll.
On Friday, Warren County's Intergovernmental Cooperative - what most people know as the COG - showcased the results of years of study and development aimed at improving communication and cooperation among the county's 20 fire departments and their cooperation with the public at large. The presentation gave C. Alan Walker, secretary of the state Department of Community and Economic Development, a detailed report on the Internet and intranet presence to which his department contributed $30,000.
Along with Walker were the county's two legislative representatives and others who either were involved in the private financing or the development of warrencofire.org.
And when it was done, Walker, who was a charter member of the volunteer fire department in his Clearfield County community, expressed his astonishment at the finished product. Calling it "incredible," Walker said the system is a model for other rural areas of the state, which share the same challenges as Warren County.
"On behalf of the Corbett administration, I am proud of our partnership with Warren County to make communications enhancements that will result in greater efficiency and collaboration," said Walker. "This important project will enhance the health and safety of Warren County residents by facilitating critical community and emergency response communications."
The website is the visible element and facilitator of an idea that more efficient communications among individual departments and their individual members will improve their overall operations through cooperation and coordination, and better communication through the site and social media will promote interest and perhaps spur interest in volunteering.
The challenge, according to COG Fire Services Committee Chairman Paul Pascuzzi and Bill Gallagher of Insight Technology, who explained the mechanisms of both the external and internal communications tools, was to join all 20 departments under the umbrella of Warren County emergency services while maintaining strong individual identities.
In that respect, "branding and marketing" of departments was important, a job that fell to Inez Nelson of Nelson Creative Services.
The need to do something to help the departments was great, said Pascuzzi who related dire statistics compiled in a 2008 report of a state study commission that included a precipitous decline in numbers of volunteers over the past three decades. While the study estimated 300,000 volunteers in the 1970s, that figure had dropped to about 45,000 in the 2000 decade, and the belief is the numbers are still falling.
The social media component of the program - through Facebook and other services - aims at a younger demographic, hoping to attract new volunteers.
After two months of operation, Gallagher noted a steady increase in visits to the site and a growing number of visits to individual department Facebook sites.
In that regard, Walker offered two suggestions: establishing a working partnership with the Boy Scouts, which has programs through its merit badge programs that would dovetail with the mission of emergency services, and closely working with the local school district, which has a community service requirement for graduation.
The presentation represented a casual dedication ceremony for the new system, complete with the cutting of a cake decorated with the warrencofire.org opening graphic.

Great simple hiking compass. Run some para-cord to a buttonhole, and drop her in your shirt pocket, even if you go without your pack, it is always with you. I always like to be aware of my basic heading, and take readings periodically when off the hiking trail.
I do have a backup in the rucksack, but I run the Starter as my main. After 11+ years in the military with the S&Y lensatic compass, you would think that is what I would run now, but the 1-2-3 does the job just fine without the bulk/weight, and carrying is a breeze so you won't go without.

"Canadians can't stand going without coffee. Even worse? Not having a team in the FIFA World Cup event for 2014. Absolutely unthinkable, say eight of ten Canadians. But you know what they really hate? Metered Internet pricing, or Usage Based Billing (UBB) as they call it—letting the dominant Internet Service Providers charge broadband subscribers and smaller competitive ISPs by the quantity of data use."
In short, Pandora's reasons to not setup shop in Canada is clearly based on the 45 per cent of the site's gross revenues or 7.5-tenths of a cent for every song streamed. Although in sharp contrast Radio delivered over AM/FM in Canada pays a rate of 2.1 per cent of revenue, we find this balance unfair. And the Music Industry happily reminds us that Canadians are no good Pirates, but we all know they secretly want to sue file sharing moms everywhere.
Will start this fall with streaming
Canadian users who have wanted to enjoy Netflix will not have much longer to wait, as the company has announced that they will be coming to Canada this fall. From what we are hearing, they are going to start out by offering streaming only to Canadian customers to start with.

William Joyce is a superstar who happens to live in Shreveport, La. Renowned as a children's book author, illustrator and filmmaker, Joyce has won a vast, all-ages audience for his work. Some know him through his many books, including "Dinosaur Bob, " "Bently and Egg, " and "Santa Calls." Others follow the animated TV series based on his books, "Rolie Polie Olie" and "George Shrinks." Joyce also has had a significant role in major animated films such as Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story" and "A Bug's Life." An animated film, "Meet the Robinsons, " is based on one of his books.
Joyce is now embarking on what may be his most ambitious project yet. "The Guardians of Childhood" series will appear in picture book, chapter book and film form, and will feature the back-stories of some of the most beloved characters from the nursery. Joyce's subjects will include the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Sand Man, and others -- in stories that focus on their youthful struggles, before they attain iconic status. "The Man in the Moon, " a picture book, is already in stores. The illustrated chapter book, "Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King, " about the young Santa Claus, is coming later in the fall.
Joyce displays his many strengths with "The Man in the Moon." His exquisitely rendered, mixed-media illustrations drive home a captivating story set during the title character's infancy. The youngster lives with his adoring parents on a ship called the Moon Clipper, sailing quietly among the planets. Everything changes when the King of Nightmares, decides that he wants the boy for his own. Joyce creates an old-fashioned fairy tale atmosphere in which good and evil coexist, drawing readers into a dreamlike scenario that resonates deeply in the psyche. And he does it in a style that feels fresh and compellingly modern.
"Kids need to believe in wonder and heroes and good things, " Joyce said at the American Library Association's annual meeting here in June -- and he shows how to make that happen in his latest book. "The Man in the Moon" expands the story of a childhood icon in language that echoes the great tales and myths, and its illustrations are both mysterious and a little bit scary (but not too scary). With that proven combination, Joyce enriches the sense of wonder for today's children, showing why they should believe in the Man in the Moon, and why such iconic figures have staying power in the imagination.

The leader of a northern Michigan tea party group wants other tea party organizations in the state to join together to try to recall Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, according to an email sent to the Citizen Patriot.
Ron Acton, communications director of the Jackson Tea Party, forwarded the email to the Citizen Patriot.
In the email, Bishop criticizes the Senate Majority leader, saying senators who support tea party principles are "being forced to deal with other bills that are contrary to these principles due to Richardville's legislative agenda."
As examples, Bishop's email mentions a proposal by Richardville to implement a "right-to-work" law in Michigan that would only affect teachers — not other workers — and his support of a second bridge from Detroit to Windsor.
Acton said he's heard many complaints about Richardville.
"I would say yes," Acton said when asked if he would support a recall effort directed at Richardville. "And remember, I'm not the (Jackson) tea party leader. He's following some type of agenda we don't even know about."
