Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Rachel McAdams…IRISH! But you would be very surprised to find out who has a bit of the 'blarney' in them. For example, we associate Robert DeNiro as an Italian American actor…he's actually one-quarter of Italian ancestry. His father was half-Irish and half- Italian. His mother was of French, Dutch and German ancestry. He was, however, quite close to his Italian paternal grandfather where he identifies more to. Even Charlie Sheen is not entirely filled with "Tiger Blood", he too has Galician Spanish, Scottish and of course, Irish. Click through the photos to find out who else is of Irish Decent.

He use to sneak into the church in his hometown of Ballymena and watch Mr. Paisley preach.

|His Holiness the Dalai Lama inaugurates the Lerab Ling Temple
Shortly before 10am on Thursday 21 August, an aeroplane touched down at the Aérodrome de Millau-Larzac, on the remote Larzac plateau in southern France. Among the small group of passengers who had made the short flight from the city of Nantes was His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Tibet's temporal and spiritual leader was beginning the last leg of a twelve-day tour of France that had started in Paris, included visits to Buddhist centres in Normandy and Brittany, and seen him give a five-day teaching and a public talk in Nantes. Now, before returning to his home in Dharamsala, India, he was to conduct the inauguration of one of Europe's largest Tibetan Buddhist temples. As the Dalai Lama stepped out of the plane, standing there to greet him was Sogyal Rinpoche.
At Lerab Ling, the anticipation was building. More than two thousand people had lined up along the winding road down from the main gate to the temple. Many had been there for the Dalai Lama's first visit to Lerab Ling, eight years earlier, when he gave a major Buddhist teaching and blessed the site where the temple now stands. As word filtered through that his motorcade was approaching, a group of monks from Lerab Ling and from Gyurmé Ling Monastery in Bir, India, moved into position close to the temple, ready to accompany His Holiness in a ceremonial procession; but as the newly hung prayer flags beside the road fluttered in the breeze and the sun shone brightly down on the temple's copper roofs, the car was nowhere to be seen.

I pump at work three days a week and keep it in the fridge until I'm ready to go home. Well last night I put it in my insulated cooler (with ice packs) at around 8:00 and came home only to realize at 8:30 this morning I never transferred the bottles to the freezer. Can I still put them in the freezer? I'm panicking because I don't want to waste it.
Thanks =)

Longtime residents of Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island are upset two commercial kayak companies have been allowed to reenter the ocean while a ban on personal kayaks remains in place.
Gordon Leslie, who traces his family's roots to the area, held a small protest Monday to demonstrate against a plan put into place by the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
"The feeling is that it's very, very not right," Leslie told KITV4.
DLNR placed a moratorium on kayaks and other floatation devices entering the bay on Jan. 1 as a way to control unpermitted rentals. On Monday, the agency began slowly rolling back the ban by allowing Aloha Kayaks and Kona Boys to rent up to 24 kayaks each per day. Both companies are required to pay DLNR $5 per passenger as a condition of the revocable permits.
DLNR Director William Aila says his agency is trying to come up with a permitting process that would allow Kealakekua locals and other Hawaii residents to enter the bay for a small processing fee.
"What's proving problematic for us is right now, is trying to avoid the residents getting a daily permit," said Aila. "We thought about an online system, but the technology has yet to be figured out so that one group cannot get all of the online permits at one time."
Leslie is against the issuance of permits for residents, and wants DLNR to come up with an alternate plan. He says residents came up with their own proposal that involves the control of parking in an area just mauka of the Kealakekua pier.
"Everyone in the village embraces that plan," said Leslie. "They need to get away from this idea about permitting, (and) they just need to find a good management plan for the bay."
Aila could not say for certain when a permitting system for residents would be up and running, and urged Kealakekua residents to exercise patience.
"As we try to fashion these permits, making them foolproof is proving very difficult," said Aila. "We would ask for the community's patience."
Residents and tourists are still allowed to swim or snorkel at Kealakekua Bay as the ban on non-rented kayaks and other floatation devices continue.
No locals allowed! Only rented kayaks can enter bay

just couldn't stand to see this thread remain empty! plus I have a real issue I'm trying to figure out.
in the last year or so I have made fairly dramatic changes to my diet, partly due to my own health issues that require it. BUT - my family can't really eat this way. Can't or won't? it doesn't much matter because I'm outvoted.
I find the teenage daughter loves my creative veggie dishes, etc, but the boys wont eat them (too spicy! no meat! no cheese!) and the whole family is fed up with the lack of wheat in the house. they want pasta and they want it now, and will mom PUH-lease cease making cookies with spelt? it's so grooooossssssss... and why dont we even OWN sugar anymore? how am I supposed to eat my cereal? Mom?
okay, so I'm being a little sarcastic. but it's frustrating. and more and more I find I do just eat the wheat bread because it's available, or maked the cookies with sugar and then eat them, and buy pasta and make it (and then what is there for me to eat?) and it is not just harming my health but any progress I was making on my waistline has ceased.
this long diatribe (why yes thank you I do feel a little better!) was just a build up to asking for some advice. does anyone out there in the either have suggestions for dinners that are both wheat and sugar free (and mostly meat free and corn free) and kid friendly? I have invented a great chili recipe that works well, because the kids can slather theirs with cheese while I choose not to, and a few other things work - cockaleeky soup, kichari (kids dip chips into it) and pretty much any fish recipe.
I've gotten quite sick again and doc says to quit allowing the naughties (wheat, sugar, red meat, corn) back into my diet. so I really have to kick this into high gear. I just feel I'm facing a battle or cooking two dinners every night.

Love this post...it goes not only for you, but I think any parent that tries to begin a more healthy lifestyle (whether doctor recommended or a self-starter)when they have let there children eat whatever. Those changes are harder as each year goes by. I do not have a recipe for you...as my diet does not call to be regulated in such a way, but I have a concept: For those of you just starting a relationship (new boyfriend, step children, new babies) 'You get what you get and you do not throw a fit.' If we are talking a man...and all he wants are meat and potatoes...then he can make them. If we are talking children...they are resilient VERY...I make a healthy dinner (Vegetarian by the way) and they eat it...OR they do not.. Guess what...they are hungry at breakfast...and the same rule applies...guess what? THEY EAT WHAT I PREPARE FOR THEM. To avoid poor snacking habbits...I do not EVER buy 'traditional' snacks...My children eat strawberries (not with sugar) blueberries, granola berry cereal...they think a granola bar is a candy bar....carrots are like candy to them. If it doesn't exist in the house..there is no one wanting it. Thank goodness their father is, for the most part, like minded...but having been recently divorced the kids will ask for sweets that they know I do not allow...I just shake my head...and we go on. NOW, i do let the kids have organic oatmeal cookies and chocolate (pure chocolate)...every now and again. What a great topic!! Adjusting takes time, set boundaries...and you will reach your goal, making your children healthier along the way. MY mother always made a separate meal for me...not only did I grow up to have major dental issues, but a poor eating habbit to boot...and my poor mother. Yo can not please everyone, and may be even hindering them by doing so. Best Wishes.

Why do you have to do everything. I say teach the kids to cook and they can help make some healthy choices for dinner. Also what about salads? Everyone can add their own different things to it -- meat for the kids or cheese, beans for you, etc.
Also what I have found about myself, it sounds trite but it works, is that often when I am craving something sweet, what my body actually is is thirsty. So I drink a glass or two of water, wait 10 minutes and then choose a snack if I'm still hungry.

It is going to be difficult for me to watch what I eat when my step children come to visit two days a week as they are sooo addicted to SUGAR... LOL.. I buy a fruit or veggie tray every week and snack on that when they are over. It is hard to find low fat choice in "Cajun Country." LOL
Posted - 10/09/2005 : 10:59:04 PM
Comet, Comet, COMET!!
This is a VERY good thread to start!! Some of us here do or don't have children and most of us at least have a spouse that does not share the same love of healthier choices that we all do (is LOVE a little too strong of a word? OK, how about DESIRE?)
A while back a good friend of mine was taken away from this board due to motherhood. She has no more time to commit to the computer (OMG - Comet! You and she would TRULY enjoy each other! I have to get her back!).... she would discuss the difficulty of living with a carnivore who has remained te same size since high school while she is an omnivore who's body has a tendancy to "save it for a famine". Her husband does not eat many greens and veggies and tends to lean toward meat and potatoes. Substitutions are not well recieved (Turkey Kilbasa is a no no, etc.) let alone a meatless dish. We have commiserated many times about this challenge.
I am fortunate to have a husband who WILL eat eggplant and mushrooms and tofu and quiche..... but he will never, repeat, NEVER eat beans of any kind, cabbage of any kind, brussels sprouts, and a few other favorites of mine.... so I have adapted (kind of).
Comet, I was/am working on writing a cookbook and thinking of naming it something like: Insert Your Meat Here (no kidding)
The premise of my book is to provide low fat/low calorie recipes that include all of the elements of a healthy meal: proteins, grains, vegitables, carbs, etc. I do not eat warm blooded animals so the one thing all the recipes leave out are meat. I have found my self going back to those COMFORT FOOD recipes and modifying them to fit my desires. As a result I usually come up with a WONDERFUL low fat/low cal recipe that
include one extra ingredient: MEAT.
An example is my LOVELY mushroom stroganoff. The recipe is simply devine and simple without meat, but served with a side dish of prepared meat it takes one a completely different spin for those who feel the need to have meat with their meal!!! I do the SAME thing with my veggie chilie!! I show up at a party with my veggie chilie and a package of ground sausage, ground round or whatever and have the host brown it in a skillet to serve alongside the chilie.... I ALWAYS get asked to bring it again.
You do face a few more challenges than most. Pasta would have to be handled differently. Perhaps you could boil your jerusalem artichoke pasta first, scoop it out of the water and keep warm for your dish, then plunk the family's regular pasta (or 1/2 WW + 1/2 reg) into the boiling pot and go from there! Those boys are craving a lot of proteins and will be burning a lot of fuel right about now so if you make a PREFECT meal for YOU and then provide a simple (and CHEAP) roasted chicken or pork loin or pot roast "on the side" for your family, EVERYONE will be happy!
So, what I am saying is that with a little creativity you can provide the elements your family craves.
This only works if you do not feel as if you are NOT being deprived! I have not been eating meat for so long that I prefer not to even mess with it OR clean up AFTER it. It is SO GREASY on my hands and skin.... mind you, I LOVE A RARE STEAK!! I just have not had one in about... hmmmmm....10 years? So design the meal around YOUR NEEDS and "adapt" the meal to your family: "Insert Your Meat (and Pasta and Dairy and....) Here"
Sorry so long!!! I just got back from out of town and HAD to make my mark on here somewhere!!!
2x4 ~ CW:150+ ~ GW for now: below 140 ~ I think I can! I think I can!

Freedom New Mexico
Authorization of the Ute Water Project is expected to be on the Senate floor Thursday, according to a release from U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M.
By a 68-24 vote Wednesday, the Senate approved cloture on Senate Bill 22. Cloture is a procedure to end debate and limit amendments on a measure, contrary to standard Senate rules which allow for unlimited debate.
Senate Bill 22 is a collection of 160 bills more commonly referred to as the Bingaman lands bill. It includes authorization for the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority.
A cloture vote requires 60 votes to proceed in a full Senate, but only 59 votes are needed currently with two senators yet to be seated.
Should the bill pass the Senate, it would move to the House of Representatives.
The bill allows the Bureau of Reclamation to spend up to $327 million to assist the authority build the pipeline project.
When completed, water from the Ute Reservoir in Quay County will be piped to the authority's entities — currently Clovis, Portales, Texico, Grady, Elida, Melrose, and Curry and Roosevelt Counties.
The project would be funded 75 percent federally, 15 percent by the state and 10 percent by authority members. The projected cost of the Ute pipeline is $432 million and would take 10 to 12 years to complete.
Also included are measures for water projects in the San Juan River Basin and an irrigation infrastructure improvement act for the Rio Grande Pueblos.

Freedom New Mexico
Secretary of state Hillary Clinton, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner and four straight days of intensive discussions with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry provided the pressure.
The result was to convince the current and probably future President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, to agree to a runoff election Nov. 7 between Karzai and his chief opponent, Abdullah Abdullah.
That may have been the least-worst option available, but then none of the likely options available in Afghanistan is attractive.
The pressure from foreign governments reflected the conviction that the Afghan election held Aug. 20 was riddled with fraud — enough to reduce Karzai's vote total to 49.7 percent, less then the 50-percent-plus-one required to declare an outright winner, according to Afghanistan's Independent Election Commission.
It also suggests, however, that politics in Afghanistan, and the perception that a government that emerges from the tortuous election process is considered "legitimate," are at least heavily influenced by foreign forces.
Karzai never admitted there was enough fraud in the earlier election to deny him the majority early results claimed he had won, but veiled threats that western military and economic support, the main factors that have kept him in power these last several years, might be cut off, seem to have helped him come to the decision his foreign supporters desired.
The prospect that a run-off election will produce a result that many Afghans will consider legitimate is hardly promising. About half the Afghan election supervisors from the earlier election have been fired on suspicion of fraud, and it will be difficult to replace them.
It is far from clear that enough election monitors can be put in place to reduce the likelihood of fraud in the run-off. The bitter Afghan winter is coming on, which will complicate logistics and probably reduce turnout. And Taliban insurgents are expected to step up attacks to reduce turnout, intensify the impression that the Afghan government, even with U.S. and other foreign forces, cannot keep the people safe.
The pressure before Karzai's reluctant acquiescence increases the widespread impression that he is nothing but an American puppet, although a puppet the Americans consider less than satisfactory.
Recent events suggest that whether or not it increases U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan by a lot, a little, or nothing at all, the U.S. is determined to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan willy-nilly, and will pretend an Afghan government notorious for being ineffectual and corrupt is a "reliable partner" in that fight.
You would think the sheer quantity of make-believe surrounding Afghan politics might cause U.S. officials to have second thoughts about whether trying to stabilize a government to which most Afghans are indifferent is worth the cost in the blood of U.S. troops.
Since the group that has the potential to pose a real threat to the U.S., al-Qaida, is not active in Afghanistan but in neighboring Pakistan (which has its own complex troubles), an increasing number of Americans are questioning the wisdom of a commitment that could stretch for many years.
Every option in Afghanistan is fraught with potential danger, but the least dangerous course is to phase out the U.S. military commitment rather than increasing it.

March Art Walk Reception: March 5th, 2013 from 6pm-8pm
Feminine FormsJudith WilliamsI express myself through visual metaphors and symbols, free associating thoughts and feelings with images. In this series, a dress form and bodice were the motivating symbols. As I worked, I thought about femininity, family, childhood, and adulthood.With a desire to incorporate text in my work, I compose and paint with dictionary pages, architectural blueprints, sewing pattern paper, novels, comics, Asian calligraphic papers, phone book pages, and maps.
I use encaustic paint, made with a combination of beeswax and resin, intending to reveal and conceal parts of images and words. With encaustic paint, I can layer, glue and paint at the same time.
I think about seeing below the surface and transparencies, or looking through. It's the hidden levels, the unconscious, and psychological undertones that intrigue me.http://www.judithawilliams.com/

Poll Results: Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" Tops Readers' List of the 50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time
Who says lightning doesn't strike twice?
For the second year in a row, Eddie Van Halen has topped a major summer-long poll at GuitarWorld.com.
In 2012, readers crowned him the Greatest Guitarist of All Time. This year, one of his many six-string masterpieces, "Eruption," a wildly innovative instrumental track from Van Halen's self-titled 1978 album, was voted the Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time.
The final matchup — aka the Ultimate Championship — took place Monday and Tuesday on GuitarWorld.com.
"Eruption," the No. 2 seed in our tournament-style poll (more on that below) faced Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," the No. 4 seed. And although David Gilmour's breathtaking 1979 solo from one of The Wall's standout tracks took an early — and seemingly convincing — lead, "Eruption" had pulled ahead by early Tuesday, and there was no looking back.
In the end, "Eruption" had snagged 57.06 percent of the readers' votes.
And "Comfortably Numb" was anything but a pushover. It had already knocked off a series of top contenders, including the No. 1 seeded guitar solo, Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," which features the fretwork of one Jimmy Page.
It's difficult to imagine a more appropriately titled piece of music than "Eruption." When it was originally released, it hit the rock guitar community like an H bomb. Two-handed tapping, gonzo whammy bar dips, artificial harmonics — with Van Halen's masterly application of these and other techniques, "Eruption" made every other six-stringer look like a third-stringer.
Which is not to imply that the losing guitar solos — many of which you can check out below — and their authors are mere third-stringers. They all fought long and hard during our 64-solo, tournament-style poll, which we launched June 10.
The poll's 64 solos were the top 64 solos from Guitar World's list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time. The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, reference sites and media outlets around the globe, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (100) and builds to an epic finish with Page's "Stairway to Heaven" (01).
Head HERE to see every matchup — from June 10 to September 17.
Below, we invite to check out your top 50 guitar solos.
Rankings: Readers' Top 50
How did we determine a Top 50 ranking for a tournament-style poll?
Simple. We ranked the guitarists by round — first the two guitar solos from the finals, then the remaining two from the Final Four, and so on — and then within their respective rounds by their overall vote count. The "Bohemian Rhapsody" guitar solo, for instance, is No. 9 because it received the most votes of any solo that didn't make it to the Elite Eight.
Note that we've also included each song's original ranking from Guitar World's original list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.

50. "Europa"
Soloist: Carlos Santana
Album: Santana—Amigos (Columbia, 1976)
Original Ranking: 49
"I started writing this song in 1966 or '67, but didn't finish it until '75 when we were on tour with Earth, Wind and Fire, in Manchester, England," says Carlos Santana. "We were backstage while they were onstage playing. And we were just warming up, tuning up. I started playing it and [keyboardist] Tom Coster and I completed it right there on the spot. It immediately became a crowd favorite; it is one of those songs that, whether it's played in Japan or in Jerusalem or in South America, it just fits right in with everything."
49. "Master of Puppets"
Soloist: Kirk Hammett
Album: Metallica—Master of Puppets (Elektra, 1986)
Original Ranking: 61
48. "War Pigs"
Soloist: Tony Iommi
Album: Black Sabbath—Paranoid (Warner Bros., 1970)
Original Ranking: 56

Mammoth Mountain
Yes, Mammoth is the nearest "true big mountain" to Los Angeles. But snow-loving Californians migrate to this windswept and view-blessed knob in the eastern Sierra for reasons beyond the obvious. Mammoth's natural terrain variety (no. 4) is among North America's best, delivering quality and abundance across the spectrum: broad beginner boulevards, corduroy fall-line carvers, piney glades, radical steeps. Its 3,500-plus scenic and open acres are sunkissed yet get hammered with more than 33 feet of mostly dry high-altitude snow annually. Lifts (no. 7) are swift and well laid out. Off-slope, the Village at Mammoth has matured into the amenity the diffuse Town of Mammoth Lakes needs.

Jean M. Oliver Henning
Class Year:1941
Outstanding Alumni Award Winner 2005
"Professor's kid" ... alumna ... coach's wife ... and now 2005 Outstanding Alumna Award recipient. At Homecoming, Jean M. Oliver '41 Henning condensed a lifetime of North Central memories into a personal and emotional recount of her many years at the College.
The daughter of Professor of Speech Emeritus Guy Eugene Oliver, she fondly remembered her campus upbringing as a "P.K.," culminating with her own North Central degree, teaching career and happy marriage to the late Dr. Harold W. Henning '41. (An Olympic swimming coach, Henning is a member of North Central's Athletic Hall of Fame; he received the College's Outstanding Alumni Award in 1963.)
"I grew up along with the College," said Henning, who recalled watching the construction of both Merner Field House (1930) and Pfeiffer Hall (1926) and looking into the fiery blaze the night Nichols Gymnasium burnt down (1929). "Our home was always filled with North Central students and faculty .... Because my father was in broadcasting, he brought home the first television in Naperville."
Henning is an internationally published writer whose articles and poetry have appeared in various magazines. She also published three books: A Sports Odyssey: Journal of an Olympic Wife, Six Days to Swim and Naper Scenes-Poetry of Naperville.
Her athletic prowess in the water has included diving, water ballet, swimming and water walking. She also established the Henning Library at the International Swimming Hall of Fame, the world's aquatic sports library in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
A member of North Central's 1861 Society, which recognizes cumulative lifetime gifts of $1 million or more, and a longtime donor to WONC-FM 89.1 broadcasting facilities in Oliver Hall, Henning also supports two College scholarships: the Dr. Harold W. Henning Scholarship, for students anticipating a career in dentistry or medicine, and The Guy Oliver Scholarship Fund.
She divides her time between Naperville and Marco Island, Fla. Henning has two children, Ronald and Susan Henning '78 Tansley.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes "The timing and duration of the 2009 bloom, veraison and harvest were right on track, that is early enough for full maturation of tannins and late enough to avoid heat insults of high summer. However, there is nothing average about the outcome in the finished wines of the vintage. Since the late part of the growing season was mild yet warm enough, this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon benefited from many, many grape picks spanning more than a month while we moved selectively around the Rutherford Bench and the western hills above Rutherford. The aromas exude blackberry compote, black cherry, toasted brioche and hints of dark roasted coffee beans, fruity olives and toffee. The feel on the palate is rich and round on entry, but quickly opens and sweetens to offer sappy black cherry and sophisticated juiciness. The fruit sweetness and pleasing structure persist to the finish, accompanied by layers of vanilla, roasted hazelnuts and well integrated, other mouthwatering black fruits. Enjoy the personality of Long Meadow Ranch and the growing season, which are expressed in equal measure in this Cabernet." - Ashley Heisey
Ratings 93 Points, Editors' Choice - Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2012 "You'll love the brightness and liveliness of this wonderfully drinkable Cabernet. Sometimes these rich wines can be heavy, but this one combines tartness with its elaborate blackberry jam, anise and cedar wood flavors, which makes it sing. Perfect now with a great steak, and should age well for up to eight years." - SH
Awards Saint Helena Star Wine of the Week, Oct 4th 2012 The very idea of knowing where your food comes from seems so basic and so right. It is hard for me to explain, then, why it was not until a few years ago that I started to be concerned with exactly what was in the food packages I was buying, or how that food came to be. Several documentaries and books later, I continue to change the way I shop and eat. Long Meadow Ranch has become a feel-good place to me in that the Hall family sustainably and organically cares for everything on their farm. All crops are certified organic and grown without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers. In tasting the winery's 2009 Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon ($47), I was hoping the wine would be as wonderful as their farming efforts. It certainly is. It has the rich fruit and sweet baking spices you might expect from a Napa cab, but it also has a lively lift of acidity. This is a great wine for steaks, pork tenderloin stuffed with figs, beef stew or grilled swordfish. — Catherine Seda is the Star's tasting panel writer.
Vineyard Notes The weather in 2009 brought below average rainfall for the Napa Valley. However, we did receive 2 inches of rain in the first two weeks of May which provided sufficient soil moisture for our vineyards. The weather then turned warm and breezy causing many set issues among red varieties around the valley, but not at Long Meadow Ranch. We had a mild summer with slightly below average temperatures, no longer prolong heat spikes and less morning fog than usual. We harvested early and were pleased with the physiologically ripe grapes at moderate sugars allowing us to make a fully flavored wine at lower alcohol.
Production Notes 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petite Sirah
Food Pairing Notes Perfect with LMR Grass-fed Highland beef, with lamb, or with roasted game.

Stephon Marbury
"I am just really honored to represent my country and I think it's definitely an accomplishment that a lot of people aren't able to experience. I was just excited and happy to know I was one the guys chosen. For my family, for myself, it is a big honor," stated Marbury. "I watched the Dream Team (in 1992), and I can remember as far back as when Petrovic played (1988), so to be an Olympian feels like I achieved a life long accomplishment."
Marbury is a veteran of three USA Basketball teams who last donned the USA's red, white and blue jersey in 1995. Starting in all eight games and leading the team in minutes played, Marbury starred on the 1995 USA Junior World Championship Team that traveled to Athens, Greece, and finished seventh with a 4-4 record. Averaging team bests of 17.5 ppg., 3.9 apg. and 1.6 spg., he also posted 2.9 rpg., and shot 44.9 percent from the floor, 37.8 percent from 3-point, and 79.4 from the charity stripe. A year earlier at the 1994 FIBA Americas Junior World Championship Qualifying Tournament in Argentina, he helped the USA to an 8-0 record and the gold medal, recording a team third best 11.6 ppg., team bests of 7.8 apg. and 2.4 spg., as well as 3.0 rpg., while shooting 51.7 percent from the field, 30.4 percent from 3-point and 82.8 percent from the foul line. Marbury was also selected to the 1995 USA Junior Select Team that played in the first Hoop Summit, and while aiding the USA to an 86-77 victory over an international select team, finished with 10 points and five assists.
Marbury is a two-time All-NBA Third Team selection (2000 and 2003) and a two-time NBA All-Star (2001 and 2003).
Traded by Phoenix to the New York Knicks on Jan. 4, 2004, Marbury, who played 34 games for Phoenix and 47 with the Knicks in '03-'04, finished the year ranked 15th in the NBA in scoring with a 20.2 ppg. average, and finished runner-up in assists dishing out 8.9 assists a game. Listing third in minutes played (3254) and seventh in minutes averaged (40.2), he also listed 10th in field goal tries (1386), 11th in assists to turnovers (2.89), 15th in total efficiency, 15th in steals (1.59 spg.), 17th in free throw attempts (356) and 35th in free throw percentage (.817).
At 19 years of age, he was picked fourth in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, who promptly traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal for the No. 5 overall pick, Ray Allen. Marbury entered the NBA Draft after playing one season at Georgia Tech, where he earned Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Rookie-of-the-Year honors. Additionally, he was selected All-ACC First Team, only the fifth freshman in conference history to earn first team distinction, and was named All-America Third Team by The Associated Press.

AMARE!!!!Stoudemire joins Marion for Olympics
Paul Coro and Jeff Metcalfe
The Arizona Republic
May. 15, 2004 12:00 AM
Amaré Stoudemire's official inclusion onto USA Basketball's Olympic roster Friday added to the reasons for Phoenix basketball fans to care about this summer's games.
Have a question for your favorite Suns, Coyotes or Diamondbacks player? Click here to submit the question for one of our reporters to take it to the source. Look for the answers on Page 2 of Saturday's Arizona Republic.
Stoudemire and Shawn Marion give the American team two current Suns players. Stephon Marbury's Friday addition gives the roster two former Suns with Jason Kidd still on the team despite doubts he will play. Richard Jefferson also was added Friday, giving Phoenix two natives on the 12-man roster with Mike Bibby.
The team has the NBA's past two Rookies of the Year with LeBron James, also a Friday addition, and Stoudemire.
"This means so much to me," Stoudemire said in a statement. "I said earlier that I would absolutely love to play for my country and I meant it. This will be my first time playing for USA Basketball but I'm ready for it. I'm looking forward to being part of the U.S. Olympic team and playing some of the best players in the world."
The current roster includes Stoudemire, Marion, Marbury, Kidd, Bibby, Jefferson, James, Tracy McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan and Karl Malone. Kidd, Bibby, McGrady and Malone are reconsidering.
The trouble of solidifying a roster provided a need for a versatile player like Marion and a big man like Stoudemire.
"This (Marion) is a player that (national team) Coach (Larry) Brown wanted badly and we were fortunate enough that he chose to be a part of this team," said Stu Jackson, who chaired the selection committee that included Suns President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo.
"With guys like Amaré and LeBron, it really sends a signal in terms of the composition of our team that it's good to have some young players on your team for the future. Amaré certainly is one of the brightest young players in the world today. I have a feeling he'll play a big role on this team."
just so that you know....

State education cuts help drive financial emergency in Pontiac School District
PONTIAC, Mich., Aug. 2, 2013 — The Pontiac School District faces a state takeover after a review team on Friday found the district to be in a financial emergency.
Gov. Rick Snyder appointed a financial review team last month to examine the finances of the 5,000-student district, which faces a $37.7 million deficit.
Snyder, who helped contribute to the emergency by cutting $1 billion from K-12 schools to help fund a $1.8 billion tax break for corporate special interests, now has 10 days to accept or decline the review team's findings of a financial emergency.
"Students and school employees in Pontiac are innocent victims of Governor Snyder's massive cuts to school funding and gross financial mismanagement by officials at the local level," Pontiac Education Association President Aimee McKeever said. "It's time our elected leaders take the issue of education funding seriously and provide our local schools with the resources they need so our children can get the education they deserve."
Like school employees throughout Michigan, Pontiac teachers and education support professionals have made numerous sacrifices to help their students, making numerous wage and benefit concessions and paying for basic school supplies out of their own pockets.
MEA members from across Michigan have stepped up to the plate to help their struggling colleagues in Pontiac, donating more than $12,000 in cash and gift cards, as well as thousands of dollars more in school supplies.

- Abstract
- Throughout graphic design history, typefaces and the ways in which they have been displayed have been used as a chronometer, or time-measuring device, to identify and visually locate works from a particular period of time. Typefaces are often associated with art movements, significant events, locations, industries or countries. Font-spotters of 2011 would not fail to notice the preponderance of Barmeno, Rotis, FF Dax, Cocon, Gotham and the ubiquity of Helvetica for everything else. Closer inspection would add a flurry of handwriting fonts and hand lettering to the 2011 visual mix. We may notice the use of animated words on recent television advertisements, but, for the most part, these typefaces exist on the two-dimensional plane and their forms haven't changed greatly from the Roman letterforms on which our Latin alphabet is based. One internationally renowned Australian graphic designer and typographer, however, continues to break the mould by creating typographic forms that are designed to stop viewers in their tracks. The son of a mathematician whose favourite subjects at high school were maths and science, David Pidgeon is fascinated by geometric forms. Influenced by posters of the mathematically inspired work of Dutch graphic artist MC Escher in his high school art classroom, he has explored alternative typographic forms since he was a student at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne and they are some of the visual highlights that unite his impressive body of multi award-winning work.

"The Power of Cap-and-Trade"
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe
July 27, 2010
Authors: Richard Schmalensee, Robert N. Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government; Member of the Board; Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Harvard Project on Climate Agreements
LAST WEEK, the Senate abandoned its latest attempt to pass climate legislation that would limit carbon dioxide emissions, putting off any action until the fall at the soonest. In the process, conservative Republicans dubbed the cap-and-trade system "cap-and-tax." Regardless of what they think about climate change, however, they should resist demonizing market-based approaches to environmental protection and reverting to pre-1980s thinking that saddled business and consumers with needless costs.
In fact, market-based policies should be embraced, not condemned by Republicans (as well as Democrats). After all, these policies were innovations developed by conservatives in the Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations (and once strongly condemned by liberals).
In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan's Environmental Protection Agency successfully put in place a cap-and-trade system to phase out leaded gasoline. The result was a more rapid elimination of leaded gasoline from the marketplace than anyone had anticipated, and at a savings of some $250 million per year, compared with a conventional no-trade, command-and-control approach.
In June 1989, President George H. W. Bush proposed the use of a cap-and-trade system to cut by half sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants and consequent acid rain. An initially resistant Democratic Congress overwhelmingly endorsed the proposal. The landmark Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 passed the Senate 89 to 10 and the House 401 to 25. That cap-and-trade system has cut sulfur dioxide emissions by 50 percent, and has saved electricity companies and hence shareholders and ratepayers some $1 billion per year compared with a conventional, non-market approach.
In 2005, George W. Bush's EPA issued the Clean Air Interstate Rule, aimed at achieving the largest reduction in air pollution in more than a decade, including reducing sulfur dioxide emissions by a further 70 percent from their 2003 levels. Cap-and-trade was again the policy instrument of choice in order to keep costs down and achieve the rapid reductions at minimum economic pain. (The rule was later invalidated by the courts, and is now being reformulated.)
To reject this legacy and embrace the failed 1970s policies of one-size-fits-all regulatory mandates would signify unilateral surrender of principled support for markets. If some conservatives oppose energy or climate policies because of disagreement about the threat of climate change or the costs of those policies, so be it. But in the process of debating risks and costs, there should be no tarnishing of market-based policy instruments. Such a scorched-earth approach will come back to haunt when future environmental policies will not be able to use the power of the marketplace to reduce business costs.
Virtually all economists agree on a market-based approach to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Some favor carbon taxes combined with revenue-neutral cuts in distortionary taxes, whereas others support cap-and-trade mechanisms or "cap-and-dividend," with revenues from auctioned allowances refunded directly to citizens.
Conventional approaches advanced as "painless alternatives" a plethora of standards, special-interest technology subsidies, and tax breaks won't do the job, and will be unnecessarily expensive. While we are struggling to revitalize the economy, we simply cannot afford to turn our backs on markets and impose unnecessary costs on businesses and consumers.
A price on carbon is the least costly way to provide meaningful incentives for technology innovation and diffusion, reduce emissions from fossil fuels, and drive energy efficiency. In the long run, it can reduce our use of oil and drive our transportation system toward alternative energy sources.
Market-based approaches to environmental protection including cap-and-trade should be lauded, not condemned, by political leaders, no matter what their party affiliation. Demonizing cap-and-trade in the short term will turn out to be a mistake with serious long-term consequences for the economy, for business, and for consumers.

Senators beat Bruins 4-2 to grab No. 7 seedAP Photo
Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau celebrates after scoring the go-ahead goal in the third period of Sundays 4-2 victory over the Boston Bruins at the TD Garden in Boston.
BOSTON Ottawa Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson said hes always wanted to face the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs.
Or was he just trying to avoid the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins?
We talked about mostly finishing better than last year, Alfredsson said after the Senators beat Boston 4-2 in the NHLs rescheduled regular-season finale on Sunday night to earn the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
We were eighth last year, so to win here the last game and finish seventh it feels really good. We improved on last year, and thats what we wanted.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:34 to play, and Kyle Turris added an empty-netter to help Ottawa win the game that was originally scheduled for April 15, the day of the Boston Marathon bombings.
It was the only NHL game on Sunday, with the rest of the league wrapping up the regular season by Saturday.
The victory pushed the Senators past the New York Islanders and into seventh in the East, helping them avoid the Penguins in the first round.
Ottawa opens the series in Montreal on Thursday.
I think it will be a great series, Alfredsson said. The Bell Centre is one of the most exciting buildings to play in. Its a great hockey town as well. ... I think its going to be an unbelievable atmosphere in both arenas, and Im looking forward to a hard-fought series.
The Islanders will face Pittsburgh in the first round. The Bruins could have won the Northeast Division and earned a No. 2 seed with a win, but they finished fourth in the East and will play Toronto in the first round starting Wednesday in Boston.
We wanted to win tonight to clinch the division, Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk said. Now it doesnt matter. We have to move forward for the playoffs.
Boston has not faced the Maple Leafs in the postseason since the first round of the 1974 playoffs. It is the only matchup of Original Six teams in the first round.
You want to get the No. 2 spot, but at the end it doesnt matter, said defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who scored just 14 seconds into the third period to tie it 2-all.
We still have home ice advantage in the first round, and the first round is always the toughest one to get out of. Everything else doesnt matter now.
Robin Lehner stopped 34 shots for the Senators, who had not beaten Boston in their previous 14 tries.
Tuukka Rask made 18 saves for Boston, which had won two straight division titles. He was pulled with about a minute left, but the Bruins couldnt muster any pressure before Turris empty-netter with 37 seconds to play.
Pageau also assisted on Erik Condras goal that made it 1-0 with 3 minutes left in the first period. Jared Cowen scored midway through the second to give Ottawa a 2-0 lead.
But the Bruins scored twice in 18 seconds of clock time on Rich Peverleys goal with 3.4 seconds left in the second period and again on Seidenbergs goal 14 seconds into the third.
It was still tied when Pageau swept a rebound past Rask to give the Senators a 3-2 lead. The Bruins couldnt manage any pressure with Rask pulled for the final minute, and Ottawa clinched on Turris empty-netter.
Notes: The Bruins handed out their regular-season awards before the game: Patrice Bergeron was the recipient of the Eddie Shore Award for hustle and determination and the Elizabeth Dufresne Trophy for outstanding performance during home games. Gregory Campbell earned the John P. Bucyk Award for off-ice charitable contributions, and the three stars went to Tuukka Rask (first), Bergeron (second) and Tyler Seguin (third). ... The rescheduled game almost had to be bumped back when the Celtics 1 p.m. game went into overtime. But the Bull Gang got the basketball floor off the ice in time for the 7 p.m. start. ... All four Northeast Division teams to make the playoffs are facing each other. ... The Senators have never faced Montreal in the playoffs since joining the NHL in 1992.

Commonly Used Brand Name and Generic Aspirins
Generic name: Acetylsalicylic acid
General category: Blood thinner, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), salicylate
Current Uses
Aspirin is used to treat and prevent a range of conditions. This medication may be taken for:
- Pain relief
- Fever reduction
- Reducing the risk of dying when having a heart attack
- Preventing a heart attack or stroke
There is promising evidence to support that taking an aspirin every day is associated with a reduced risk of dying from cancer after it has been diagnosed.
To prevent cardiovascular disease, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends a small daily dose of aspirin. Aspirin is recommended for men aged 45-79 years and women aged 55-79 years as long as the benefits of taking the medication outweigh the risks. One common risk to consider is gastrointestinal bleeding. If you want to start taking aspirin every day, be sure you talk to your doctor first to make sure that it is safe for you.
The American Heart Association recommends aspirin for certain poeple who are at high risk of heart attacks and for poeple who have experienced a heart attack, stroke, or transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke) if not contraindicated.
Take only the amount of aspirin instructed by your doctor. If you are taking aspirin regularly and you need a medication to relieve pain, a fever, or arthritis, your doctor may not want you to take extra aspirin. It is a good idea to discuss this with your doctor, so that you will know ahead of time what medication to take.
Do not stop taking this medication for any reason without first checking with the doctor who directed you to take it.
Mechanism for How It Works
- Analgesic/NSAID—This inhibits the body's production of a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin. This chemical causes pain by stimulating muscles contractions and blood vessel dilation. Aspirin may also fight inflammation, including in plaque caused by atherosclerosis, which causes coronary artery disease.
- Antithrombotic (blood thinning)/Platelet aggregation inhibitor—This prevents platelets from releasing the prostaglandin thromboxane, which causes platelets to clump together in a blood clot. This helps prevent potentially fatal formation of new blood clots in diseased blood vessels.
Side Effects
Drug Interactions
Aspirin can interact with many types of medications. Some examples include:
- Other blood thinners
- Oral medications used to treat diabetes
- Anticonvulsants
- Beta-blockers
- Corticosteroids
- Other NSAIDs
- Diuretics
Be sure to talk to your doctor about the specific medications that you are taking.
Nutrient/Supplement Interactions
There are many types of herbs and supplements that can interact with aspirin. Examples include:
- Arginine
- Feverfew
- Garlic
- Ginkgo
- Policosanol
- Chondroitin
- Potassium citrate
- Policosanol
- Dong quai
- St. John's Wort
- Vinpocetine
- White willow
To avoid any interactions, it is important that you talk to your doctor about any herbs are supplements that you are taking before you begin aspirin therapy.
Other Potential Concerns
If you have one of the following conditions, it may not be appropriate for you to take aspirin due to the increased risk of complications:
- Liver or kidney disease
- Peptic ulcer or other gastrointestinal bleeding disorder, or those at risk for these disorders
- Allergy or intolerance to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Hemophilia or other bleeding problems—the chance of bleeding may be increased
- Gout —salicylates can make this condition worse and can also lessen the effects of some medications used to treat gout
- Syndrome of asthma, rhinitis, and nasal polyps
- Children and adolescents with a viral infection
- Pregnant or lactating women
Low-dose aspirin increases risk for gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke. Do not use without medical advice if you are at increased risk for these diseases.

Two local August wine dinners highlight cuisine, varietals of autonomous regions in Italy

Two wine dinners/tastings this month—one in Palm Beach, the other in downtown West Palm Beach—collectively toast three of Italy's five autonomous regions, which, because of their distinctive cultures, have the power to create certain laws and other strictures of their own.
Tomorrow night (Aug. 8), The Backyard Bar—home to Michael "Cheffee" Ober and located along the northern outskirts of West Palm's CityPlace—is featuring a $25-a-person tasting of dishes paired with wines from Sardinia and Sicily.
Four different dishes will be served at the 6:30 p.m. event (call 339-2444 for reservations), including sauteed shrimp and red-rice risotto with brown butter, parsley and thyme; [More]

Do you know anything about the Knicks buying a pick. I was reading the new CBA only allows 3M aggregate in any one season for using cash in a transaction and one of the basketball guru's tweeted that the Knicks used some or all of it in a past transaction this season. So I was wondering how much cash the Knicks have to buy a pick.
It would shock me if they traded Tyson but Novak I can see going for shooter who is more versatile.
