Designhotellet in Värnamo
Photo: © www.design-hotellet.se
Designhotellet Scandic Värnamo is matchless because of its architecture and the design of its rooms. And, in a world where one hotel is much the same as the next, Designhotellet Scandic Värnamo exudes a bygone style and aesthetic in a highly contemporary setting.
The genuinely charming town of Värnamo in Småland, is situated in the heart of "Möbelriket" ("the furniture kingdom") the collective name for the area around Lammhult in Småland and the heart of the Swedish furniture design industry and interior design industry. Here you will find world famous names such as Lammhults, Bruno Mathsson International, Källemo, Abstracta and others.
Designhotellet is located in the centre of Värnamo, which is surrounded by forests and lakes. The hotel takes up prime position in a pedestrian precinct filled with superb shopping, and restaurants and bars offering the local cuisine. The hotel offers 120 rooms, of which there are several specially designed suites, as well as a restaurant and bar, al fresco dining, sauna and relax department. The Bruno Mathsson Center, Ohsabanan and Store Mosse National Park are nearby, while the Vidfamne Viking Ship is a 30-minute walk and High Chaparral, a western theme amusement park, is a 20-minute drive.
Designhotellet Scandic Värnamo is the perfect base from which to see Småland, best known for its forests and beautiful lakes and the farmers who emigrated from here to the USA in the 1900s. Although it is a "design hotel" there is nothing "designer" about the quality and friendliness of service offered by the staff of Designhotellet Scandic Värnamo. Enjoy your stay.
Do visit the Bruno Mathsson Center to see this legendary designer's work.

Over the river and through the woods
November 20, 2013 —
While I may not be going to grandmother's house, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and many have already made plans. Grateful to have options this year, I'm still vacillating, but might make a few stops on that day. Meanwhile, I've been traipsing through the woods, putting miles on the truck and hauling the dog from one end of Sullivan County to the other this past week. At times, I manage to cross the Delaware River and experience what Pennsylvania has to offer, but the county I call home (www.scva.net) covers nearly 1,000-square miles, so there was plenty to keep me occupied without crossing the border during the last few days.
It's always nice to hear of new businesses opening their doors, and Dharma received two invites ("you've got mail" takes on a whole new meaning) last week to attend ribbon cutting ceremonies, so I agreed to drive her, take some photos and (her words, not mine) "tag along for the ride." Our first stop was in Roscoe, NY where Rock Hill's Sujit Padhiar welcomed Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce (www.catskills.com) President and CEO Terri Ward and guests, as he prepared to officially open Roscoe Fine Wines and Liquor for business on Route 206. In typical small town fashion, the only address I could find was "past the blinker, adjacent to the Chinese restaurant," but wasn't at all surprised to locate the place with zero difficulty. When asked what prompted the store, Padhiar (speaking directly to the dog) said that "folks had expressed a desire for a wide selection" (which was abundant) of wines and liquor in the region, and that the shop would "absolutely" be stocking locally distilled products. I don't usually frequent such establishments (doctor's orders), so I learned something (imagine that!) and was informed that state law prohibits the sale of beer (locally brewed or otherwise) in the store and that Dharma would have to seek that elsewhere. With micro-breweries popping up all over the Upper Delaware River Valley, that shouldn't prove difficult, (her birthday is on the 25th) so I'm guessing that she'll be pointing the way.

Exogenous Cushing syndrome is a form of Cushing syndrome that occurs in people taking glucocorticoid (also called corticosteroid) hormones.
Other forms of Cushing syndrome include:
Cushing syndrome - corticosteroid induced; Corticosteroid-induced Cushing syndrome; Iatrogenic Cushing syndrome; Exogenous Cushing syndrome
Cushing syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your body has a higher than normal level of the hormone cortisol. This hormone is made in the adrenal glands.
Exogenous means caused by something outside the body. Exogenous Cushing syndrome occurs when a person takes man-made (synthetic) glucocorticoid medicines to treat a disease.
Glucocorticoids are given for many diseases, such as asthma. These medicines come in many forms, including pill, intravenous (IV), injection, enema, topical, and eyedrop.
Most people with Cushing syndrome have:
Skin changes that are often seen:
Muscle and bone changes include:
Women may have:
Men may have:
Other symptoms that may occur include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and the medicines you are taking. Tell the provider about all medicines you have been taking for the past several months.
If you use cortisone, prednisone, or other corticosteroids, the following test results may suggest exogenous Cushing syndrome:
A method called high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can show a high level of the suspected medicine in the urine.
Treatment is to slowly decrease and eventually stop taking any corticosteroids. Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your health care provider. Suddenly stopping corticosteroids after taking them for a long time can results in an adrenal crisis.
If you cannot stop taking the medicine because of disease (for example, you need steroids to treat severe asthma), follow your doctor's instructions on how to reduce the possibility of developing complications, including:
Slowly tapering the medicine that is causing the condition can help reverse the effects of adrenal gland shrinkage (atrophy). This may take as long as a year. During this time, you may need to restart or increase the dosage of your steroids in times of stress or illness.
These complications can generally be prevented with proper treatment.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are taking a corticosteroid and you develop symptoms of Cushing syndrome.
If you take a corticosteroid, know the signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome. Getting treated early can help prevent any long-term effects of Cushing syndrome. If you use inhaled steroids, you can decrease your exposure to the steroids by using a spacer and by rinsing your mouth after breathing in the steroids.

(November 19, 1969) Apollo 12 astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad stands beside the United States flag after is was unfurled on the lunar surface during the first extravehicular activity (EVA-1), on November 19, 1969. Several footprints made by the crew can be seen in the photograph.
(May 20, 1969) NASA's Apollo 11 flight crew, Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot stand near the Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle that would eventually carry them into space on July 16,1969.
(November 5, 1969) President Nixon meets the Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin,Jr., and Michael Collins, on the lawn of the White House on their return from their Global Goodwill Tour. The GIANTSTEP-APOLLO 11 Presidential Goodwill Tour emphasized the willingness of the United States to share its space knowledge. The tour carried the Apollo 11 astronauts and their wives to 24 countries and 27 cities in 45 days.
Even before the Space Task Group was formally organized, Langley had begun to develop the concept of the "Little Joe" test vehicle that became the workhorse of the nation's initial humans-in-space program -- Mercury. Little Joe, a solid fuel rocket, carried instrumented payloads to various altitudes and allowed engineers to check the operation of the Mercury capsule escape rocket and recovery systems. Here Langley technicians construct the Little Joe capsules in-house in Langley's shops. Date unknown.
(February 6, 1971) Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 Lunar Module pilot, moves across the lunar surface as he looks over a traverse map during extravehicular activity (EVA). Lunar dust can be seen clinging to the boots and legs of the space suit.
(October 9, 1970) The King of Belgium, Baudouin I, and his Queen, Fabiola, pose along with the Apollo 11 astronauts and their wives in the reception hall of the Royal Palace in Brussels, Belgium.
(December 13, 1972) Geologist-Astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt is photographed standing next to a huge, split boulder at Station 6 on the sloping base of North Massif during the third Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA-3) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The "Rover" Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is in the left foreground. Schmitt is the Apollo 17 Lunar Module pilot. This picture was taken by Commander Eugene A. Cernan.
(April 17, 1970) Astronaut John L. Swigert, Jr., Apollo 13 Command Module Pilot, holds the "mailbox" a jerry-rigged arrangement which the Apollo 13 astronauts built to use the Command Module lithium hydroxide canisters to purge carbon dioxide from the Lunar Module. Lithium hydroxide is used to scrub CO2 from the spacecraft atmosphere. Since there was a limited amount of lithium hydroxide in the Lunar Module, this arrangement was rigged up using the canisters from the Command Module. The "mailbox" was designed and tested on the ground at the Manned Spacecraft Center before it was suggested to the problem-plagued Apollo 13 crewmen. Because of the explosion of an oxygen tank in the Service Module, the three astronauts had to use the Lunar Module as a lifeboat.
(December 18, 1968) Portrait of the Apollo 9 prime crew in their space suits. From left to right they are: Commander, James A. McDivitt, Command Module pilot, David R. Scott, and Lunar Module pilot, Russell L. Schweickart. The Apollo 9 mission was designed to test the Apollo Command/Service and Lunar Modules in Earth orbit. The purpose was to verify that the Command/Service Module (CSM) could successfully dock with the Lunar Module (LM). The mission was also to test the LM systems in a "free flying" attitude to ensure that it performed as per specifications.
(July 16, 1969) Apollo 11 mission officials relax in the Launch Control Center following the successful Apollo 11 liftoff on July 16, 1969. From left to right are: Charles W. Mathews, Deputy Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight; Dr. Wernher von Braun, Director of the Marshall Space Flight Center; George Mueller, Associate Administrator for the Office of Manned Space Flight; Lt. Gen. Samuel C. Phillips, Director of the Apollo Program
(July 20, 1969) One of the first steps taken on the Moon, this is an image of Buzz Aldrin's bootprint from the Apollo 11 mission. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon on July 20, 1969.
(July 20, 1969) Bright sunlight glints and long dark shadows dramatize this image of the lunar surface taken by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first to walk on the Moon. Pictured is the mission's lunar module, the Eagle, and spacesuited lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin unfurling a long sheet of foil also known as the Solar Wind Collector. Exposed facing the Sun, the foil trapped atoms streaming outward in the solar wind, ultimately catching a sample of material from the Sun itself. Along with moon rocks and lunar soil samples, the solar wind collector was returned for analysis in earthbound laboratories.
(July 1969) Three of the four Apollo 13 Flight Directors applaud the successful splashdown of the Command Module "Odyssey" while Dr. Robert R. Gilruth, Director, Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), and Dr. Christopher C. Kraft Jr., MSC Deputy Director, light up cigars (upper left). The Flight Directors are from left to right: Gerald D. Griffin, Eugene F. Kranz and Glynn S. Lunney.
(February 1969) Astronaut Russell L. Schweickart, Apollo 9 prime crew lunar module pilot, participates in a Countdown Demonstration Test. He is wearing an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or EMU. In addition to the spacesuit and bubble helmet, the EMU also includes a Remote Control Unit on his chest, a Portable Life-Support System backpack and an Oxygen Purge System. This equipment was completely independent of the spacecraft during Schweickart's spacewalk. He was secured only by a tether line.
(July 20, 1969) Astronaut Edwin E."Buzz" Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module pilot, is photographed during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity on the Moon. He has just deployed the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP). In the foreground is the Passive Seismic Experiment Package (PSEP); beyond it is the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3); in the center background is the United States flag; in the left background is the black and white lunar surface television camera; in the far right background is the Lunar Module "Eagle". Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera.
(August 2, 1971) Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, uses a scoop in making a trench in the lunar soil during Apollo 15 extravehicular activity (EVA). Mount Hadley rises approximately 14,765 feet (about 4,500 meters) above the plain in the background.
(July 24, 1969) NASA and Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) officials join the flight controllers in celebrating the conclusion of the Apollo 11 mission. From left foreground Dr. Maxime A. Faget, MSC Director of Engineering and Development; George S. Trimble, MSC Deputy Director; Dr. Christopher C. Kraft Jr., MSC Director fo Flight Operations; Julian Scheer (in back), Assistant Adminstrator, Office of Public Affairs, NASA HQ.; George M. Low, Manager, Apollo Spacecraft Program, MSC; Dr. Robert R. Gilruth, MSC Director; and Charles W. Mathews, Deputy Associate Administrator, Office of Manned Space Flight, NASA HQ.
(July 20, 1969) A human first set foot on another world on July 20, 1969. This world was Earth's own Moon. Pictured above is Neil Armstrong preparing to take the historic first step. On the way down the Lunar Module ladder, Armstrong released equipment which included the television camera that recorded this fuzzy image. Pictures and voice transmissions were broadcast live to an estimated world wide audience of one billion people. The Apollo Moon landings have since been described as the greatest technological achievement the world has known.
(October 14, 1968) Astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr., Apollo 7 commander, is photographed during the Apollo 7 mission (1582); Astronaut Donn F. Eisele, Apollo 7 command module pilot, is photographed during the mission; Astronaut Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7 lunar module pilot, is photographed during mission.
(July 1975) The two Soviet crewmen for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, or ASTP, mission are photographed at the launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on the morning of the Soviet ASTP liftoff on July 15, 1975. They are cosmonauts Aleksey A. Leonov (left), commander; and Valeriy N. Kubasov, flight engineer. Leonov is waving to well-wishers at the launch pad. The Soviet ASTP launch preceded the American ASTP Apollo liftoff by seven and one-half hours. The American and Soviet spacecraft were docked in Earth orbit for a total of about 47 hours on July 17-19, 1975. Image Credit: USSR Academy of Sciences
(April 21, 1971) Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., Lunar Module pilot of the Apollo 16 mission, is photographed collecting lunar samples at Station no. 1 during the first Apollo 16 extravehicular activity at the Descartes landing site. This picture, looking eastward, was taken by Astronaut John W. Young, commander. Duke is standing at the rim of Plum crater, which is 40 meters in diameter and 10 meters deep. The parked Lunar Roving Vehicle can be seen in the left background.
(April 16, 1972) An overall view of activity in the Mission Operations Control Room (MOCR) in the Mission Control Center (MCC) on the first day of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission. This picture was taken during television coverage transmitted from the Apollo 16 spacecraft on its way to the Moon. The TV monitor in the background shows how the Apollo 16 astronauts viewed the Earth from 7,500 nautical miles away.

Few signs that Doe probe will net more suspects
Walker has continually said he's not target of investigation
When a former aide to Gov. Scott Walker is sentenced next week, that will bring to a close the second of six cases that grew out of a long-running investigation into Walker's office when he served as the Milwaukee County executive.
Details of the probe are secret, so everyone from investigators to those being investigated are prohibited from discussing details. So it's not clear how close the so-called John Doe probe is to wrapping up.
But there have been few indications that additional suspects will be named. Online court records that are updated whenever new witnesses are granted immunity in exchange for their testimony haven't been modified in almost six months.
Walker has continually said he's not a target of the investigation, and has not been charged.

I have a 3.5 mo. old son. When I pump I only pump 2oz from each breast. How can I pump more? Right now I breastfeed at home, but at work pump 3x/day for 20-25 mins. Any thoughts?
I try to eat healthy, though I do cave in and eat sugar because I crave it all the time, and I drink water.
Thanks. I wish I was pumping more. He eats 4 bottles, 3-4oz each at daycare, and I have to supplement with formula.

- Abstract
- Five isolates of a filamentous bacterial morphotype with the distinctive diagnostic microscopic features of Eikelboom Type 1863 were obtained from activated sludge sewage treatment plants in Victoria, Australia. On the basis of phenotypic evidence and 16S rDNA sequence data, these isolates proved to be polyphyletic. Two (Ben 06 and Ben 06C) are from the Chryseobacterium subgroup which is in the Cytophaga group, subdivision I of the Flexibacter- Cytophaga-Bacteroides phylum. Two (Ben 56 and Ben 59) belong to the genus Acinetobacter, and one (Ben 58) is a Moraxella sp., closest to Mor. osloensis. The significance of these findings to the reliance on microscopic features for identification of these filamentous bacteria in activated sludge is discussed.

Werth Signs With The Nationals
In a shocking move, Jayson Werth has signed a 7-year deal with the last place Washington Nationals, snubbing higher-profile teams like the Red Sox. After losing Adam Dunn to the White Sox and star rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg to Tommy John surgery, the Nats needed a seat-filler. Attendance in DC has been pathetic over the years due to a lack of success for the team and very high ticket prices.
In the last two years, the Nats ranked 24th and 23rd place for attendance out of 30 teams. The acquisition of Werth should produce a spike in season ticket plans, not to mention a spike in team batting average and runs scored. The exact terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed, but it is in the area of $126 million dollars.
The real shock is that Werth chose to sign with a last-place team. The Nats are trying to build a winner, but realistically, this will not happen overnight. In fact, their biggest obstacle may be the Phillies who have won the division 4-straight years now. But Werth has his ring already so maybe winning is now lower on his list than money and stability.
As for the Phillies, they now have a huge, gaping hole in right field to be filled. With Domonic Brown leaving Winter Ball early today due to being "tired and sluggish," big questions remain as to his ability to fill the spot. Worst case scenario is that the left-handed Brown will have to platoon with righty Ben Francisco.
Another right-hander who may be able to platoon with Francisco or even Ross Gload is John Mayberry Jr. In 11 games with the big club in 2010, Mayberry batted .333 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI. He has been working on his stroke in AAA and, if Brown is not ready, Mayberry might be a better option.
There is a list of free agents as well that may also be able to fill the hole. The top choice for Charlie Manuel is probably Matt Diaz. The two men live in the same neighborhood and spend time together in the offseason. Diaz is a lifetime .301 hitter who got little playing time with the Braves last season. However, Diaz did find time to tackle a rouge Phillies fan on the field back in September. He is almost a folk-hero in Philly already after that feat.
A few other options include Jeff Francoeur, Carlos Quentin or Scott Hairston. With a little more creativity, the Phillies may wish to consider former Phillie Aaron Rowand. The Giants have indicated that Rowand is not in their plans going forward and may be willing to eat his huge salary just to get rid of him. Rowand struggled last year at AT&T Park. Perhaps the smaller, friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park can revive his bat?
A few other long-shot free-agents might be Willie Bloomquist, Joe Inglett or Jose Guillen. Whichever way the Phillies decide to go, it is clear that Werth has left very big shoes to fill. He will be missed.
5 Comments
Talk about something coming out of leftfield…Well rightfield with Werth involved. This has got to me the best out of nowhere signing of the Winter….so far.
Guess Werth feels he can handle the games at CBP involving the two divisional foes, pl;us might have warmed his heart that he will get to have a front row seat to the maturation process with pitcher Stephen Strasberg and slugger Bryce Harper.
Still shocked by the size of the price tag, but we are sure to see a bigger amount in the coming weeks. Werth set that bar high this offseason…Or should we say Scott Boras did it again.
Rays Renegade
I agree with Renegade that the Werth deal was vintage Boras. Clearly, it was more about the money and less about winning in the short term. Very, very surprising.
I'm shocked with the Werth deal too. Do you think he's worth the money ?
Cliff – Yup, Boras strikes again.
Jane – I guess money trumps winning…hard to imagine. How much $ does one person need anyway?
Geoff – Werth is a 5-hole hitter and averaged .183 with RISP – nope, not worth the $.
Can't blame the Phils for shelling out that kind of dough for Werth, but I really don't think he's worth that money outside of a stacked lineup like Philly provided him. He'll be exposed in DC. Just watch.

Critter alarm systems
January 8, 2014 —
A walk out in the woods during winter usually doesn't yield a lot of sounds or bird calls; certainly not as much noise as springtime when birds and frogs are in the midst of courtship and breeding. Nuthatches, pine siskins, or the occasional tapping of a woodpecker foraging on a dead tree is the norm. The other day, however, there was the raucous cacophony of a flock of at least two dozen crows calling, while perched in some nearby trees. I checked the trees and others nearby for any interlopers. Crows will call and chase (or "mob") predators that they see perched, in the air, or on the ground. Many times when crows call in unison from a tree, there will be a hawk or eagle also perched nearby. In this case, there were no predators visible and perhaps they were just trying to rally other crows to the flock.
Nature has many other examples of alarm systems that can be heard now and other times of the year. The slap of a beaver's tail on the water as a fisherman gets too close to a lodge, or the high pitched "peep" of a green frog as it jumps into the water to escape danger are a couple of examples of giving the alarm and warding off possible attack. There are no green frogs visible at the moment, but the images in this week's column show some seasonal species that raise the alarm when danger is afoot.

Your Friendships Change the World
Jan 31st
The friendship effect is a social phenomenon you know very well. The people you've known in your life shape who you are as you do them. Likewise, your relationships with them can shape the world.
This is not unlike the butterfly effect:
small differences in the initial condition of a dynamic system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system
If you view the world as a dynamic system, the people in it play a vital role in determining the future of that system. Today, you and I are the initial condition.
How will our relationships change the course of history? How will they change you? How will they change the people you care about?

Jim Lee
Welcome to 2004. Are we ready to start another year of wondering which months have 30 days and which have 31?
It seems easy when we say long and short alternate, starting with a long one. It's a matter of 31, 30 and so on, right? Well, not quite.
There is the matter of July and August (consecutive months with 31 days). Then we have February with 28 days — unless it's a leap year.
On top of that, some months are really incorrectly named. October means eighth month in Latin when it is actually the 10th month. How did that happen?
November means ninth month, and December means 10th month. The rest are pagan names. That really seems odd in a year full of non-pagan religious holidays. What are we going to do about all this confusion?
I suppose we can complicate the matter by mentioning that the word month probably comes from the word moon, and the length of the month is based on completion of a lunar cycle. However, the lunar cycle is 28 days, not 30 or 31, matching only February, but not on a leap year.
Should we call this lunar or loony?
All this sure seems dumb to me. It's like the Weather Channel showing sunset at 4:46 and mostly sunny skies at 5 p.m. (which it did through most of December, the 12th month called the 10th month, remember?).
This certainly sets up a call to action in my mind. We need to forget about trivial matters like war-and-peace, the economy, the environment, global warming, and if JLo really wants to marry Ward Cleaver. We have a matter of intergalactic importance here.
Calendar confusion must come to its well-deserved end, friends and neighbors. We must take immediate action!
We can make all the months match the lunar cycle and be the same number of days. All we have to do is add a month and a day. If we institute 13 months of 28 days each, we will have 364 days. We can have a year of 364 days with a day between the years called No Year Day to celebrate like we do New Year's Day now. On leap years we have No Year One and No Year Two.
The only problem now is naming that 13th month. We can keep the same names of the months now and simply name the additional one. Or we can use the opportunity to rename them all, this time doing it properly.
Either way, it could be a big naming contest on a weekly television-reality show culminating at the conclusion of the final old-style year in a big pay-TV special hosted by our favorite celebrity idiot.
I'm sure everyone will agree to give me the pay-TV profits in return for saving the world with the concept.
I mean, fair is fair, right?
See how easily the monumental problems of the world can be solved? As humans, we can figure out absolutely anything (except how to get along instead of killing off each other, of course).
All that is left of this vexing annual measurement debacle now is seeing to the naming and physically forcing everyone else to agree with us by democratic means.
Now, about this business of changing the clocks twice a year …

Summer Film Series
Beyond Belief — Sunday, July 21, 3-5 p.m.
Mollie Dodd Anderson Library, George School, Newtown, PA
This documentary relates the story of Susan Retik and Patti Quigley, two soccer moms living in the suburbs of Boston until the tragedy of September 11 strikes. Rather than turning inwards, grief compels these women to focus on the country where the terrorists who took their husbands' lives were trained: Afghanistan. Over the course of two years, as they cope with loss and struggle to raise their families as single mothers, these extraordinary women dedicate themselves to empowering Afghan widows whose lives have been ravaged by decades of war, poverty and oppression — factors they consider to be the root causes of terrorism. From the ruins of the World Trade Center to those of Kabul and back, theirs is a journey of personal strength and international reconciliation, and a testament to the vision that peace can be forged — one woman at a time.
This is the second of three films (the last one will be shown Sunday, August 11) that reflect the struggles of ordinary people — their trials and how they have overcome them. Discussion will follow each film.
$5.00/film per family. Beverages and snacks will be for sale.

Members Present: Dr. Louis Aikens, Mr. John Caffery, Mr. Edward Knight III, Mr. Jack Stafford, Mr. Kevin Pruitt, Mr. John Barnes, Mr. Norris Kantor, Mr. Jeffery Forlines, Mr. Frank Ball, Mr. Daniel Frost
Members Absent: Rev. Garry Moore, Dr. Lyn Guy
Guests: Dr. Albert Walker, Ms. Anita Barilla, Mr. Jim Nelson, Ms. Peggy Turnbull, Dr. Mindy Maher, Dr. Tom Blevins, Ms. Elizabeth Pruett, Dr. Jim Voelker, Dr. Don Smith, Mr. Lionel Craddock, Ms. Shelia Johnson, Mr. John Cardwell, Dr. Debbie Halsey-Hunter, Mr. Frank Hart, Dr. Norm Mirsky
Call to Order
Chairman John Barnes called the meeting to order at 6:45 p.m. Mr. Barnes informed the group that he plans to modify the order of the agenda items to allow Dr. Blevins to make his presentation and leave the meeting due to illness.
Reclassification of Bill Bennett: Classified to Non-Classified
Mrs. Shelia Johnson reviewed the request by Dr. Tom Blevins to have Mr. Bill Bennett reclassified from a classified employee to a non-classified employee. The JEC (Job Evaluation Committee) recommended that Mr. Bennett be reclassified because his duties and required skills do not fit into the present classifications available. Mrs. Johnson explained that when someone is reclassified it entails a promotion and a 5% pay-grade increase. Dr. Blevins provided the group with a letter that outlines areas for which Mr. Bennett is responsible. Dr. Blevins informed the group that the work that Mr. Bennett does for the college is critical and cannot be done by others on the campus. A motion was made and seconded (JStafford/JForlines) to reclassify Mr. Bennett from a classified position to non-classified position and given a salary increase to $40,000 a year. Discussion followed. Motion carried.
Approval of Minutes of March 17, 2005
With there being no additions or corrections to the March 17 minutes motion was made and seconded (DFrost/NKantor) to approve the minutes. Motion carried.
Lewisburg Library
Mr. Barnes discussed the allocation of funds for the Lewisburg Library. There has been two meetings of the committee to come up with the parameters of how the million dollars is to be utilized. Mr. Barnes reported that there had been lots of discussion but no action taken toward a definitive set of guidelines. The Library committee was to get information on the utilization of the funds. Mr. Barnes will keep the Board informed when actions take place.
Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund
Mr. Norris Kantor introduced Mrs. Elizabeth Pruett, Trust Officer of First Century Bank, who has experience helping invest funds from programs set up for endowment funds. Mr. Kantor reviewed the history of the James H. Shott Endowed Chair in Business. The fund was never accepted by the school and activated by the Board. The School of Business would like to announce the first recipient of this Endowed Chair at this year's graduation. Mrs. Pruett discussed the various things that need to be taken care of in order to make the award. Dr. Halsey-Hunter informed the group that the School of Business has established the criteria for the award and is ready to take applications from within the School of Business but the dollar amount of the award will be necessary to assess interest. Mr. Barnes suggested a committee be appointed to establish guidelines to utilize the funds for the award. Then there will be a special Board meeting to review the guidelines and information in order to move forward. The committee consists of Mr. Norris Kantor, Mr. Jeff Forlines, Mr. Jack Stafford who will work with all parties necessary to get the information together to present to the Board. Motion was made (NKantor/DFrost) to accept and adopt the Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund as outlined by the Shott Foundation calling it the James H. Shott Endowed Chair in Business. Motion carried. A second motion was made (NKantor/DFrost) to appoint a committee to draft the necessary investment policy, investment agency agreement, the policy for endowed chairs, and spend amount policy for review at the next Board meeting. However, the School of Business should start the process to name individuals for the award following the provisions of the WV Code. Discussion followed. Motion carried. Mr. Forlines expressed concern and reminded the members of the Board that he is an employee of First Century Bank who will be handling the Endowed Chair Funds. Mr. Barnes informed the group that Mr. Forlines was appointed to the committee due to his knowledge of state codes and regulations for funds.
Mr. Barnes brought the Board's attention to the Five Year Program Reviews included in the information provided each Board member and stated that with the amount of information contained in these reviews this item will be discussed at the next meeting.
Mr. Barnes made the following announcements of the faculty offices for 2005-2006:
Senate Chair – Mr. John White
Vice Chair – Ms. Angela Lambert
Secretary – Ms. Sherri Williams
College Council Faculty Representative and Representative on Board of Governors – Norman Mirsky
College Council Faculty Representative – Debbie Halsey-Hunter
HEPC Advisory Council Representative – Bruce Mutter
Mr. Barnes reminded the Board members to fill out the red form indicating attendance and the need for caps and gowns for Commencement.
Vice President for Financial and Administrative Affairs
Separation of Assets/Liabilities
Mrs. Johnson handed out packets with financial information and explained the various pages. She discussed the separation of assets and liabilities between Bluefield State Collage and New River Community and Technical College. Mrs. Johnson asked that a committee be formed to discuss the various issues between the two institutions. An agreement must be made by May 1, 2005. Discussion followed.
Mr. Knight asked that New River be provided the information Dr. Blanks requested with respect to certain financial information. Mrs. Johnson informed the group that due to the urgency of the budget meetings in Charleston that she has been unable to provide the requested information to New River but will provide that information as soon as possible. Mr. Barnes spoke to the necessity of an equitable split of both assets and liabilities in order to be deemed as a good faith set of guidelines. The Legislature has an expectation that the agreement is to be mutually accepted. The intent is that both institutions be able to provide education to the students. Mr. Knight informed the group that New River must have the necessary financial information in order to make informed decisions concerning the split. He further commented that the New River Advisory Board played no part in the discussion of the allocations of funds that took place last year. He informed the group that, even though he signed the agreement, the President of New River had worked on the agreement but that the Board had nothing to do with it at the time.
Dr. Walker spoke to the group regarding the Title III funds and brought to their attention a letter received from the U.S. Department of Education concerning the ineligibility of funds to be used for New River since the institution is now independently accredited. The Title III project officer in Washington will be contacted next week to determine exactly when the Title III requirements will be implemented. These changes will have the most impact on personnel and equipment to the two institutions. Motion was made (DFrost/NKantor) to table the Title III discussion until more information is acquired. Motion carried.
Tuition and Fee Increases
Mrs. Johnson recommended a 9.5 percent increase in tuition and fees for in-state students for the coming year. She also recommended that a proposal be presented to HEPC to offer tuition to the border counties at the same rate as in-state students to bring in additional revenue for the institution. Mr. Pruitt spoke to the hardships already experienced by students attending college before any increase in tuition and his concern for those who might not be able to afford tuition at a higher rate. Mr. Frost expressed his concern that students will look for other options instead of choosing Bluefield State if rates are higher than those at colleges in the surrounding areas. Mr. Kantor assured the group that students will continue to come to BSC for a four year degree. Mr. Cardwell spoke about an expected increase in enrollment with the border counties included in in-state tuition rates. Mrs. Johnson informed the group that a decision on the tuition and fees must be made now because of the short time a proposal must be presented to HEPC. Discussion followed. Motion made (NKantor/JForlines) to adopt the tuition and fees increase as presented. (Mr. Frost abstained from the vote). Motion carried. Discussion followed concerning in state tuition for bordering counties. Motion was made (JStafford/KPruitt) to have out of state students pay out of state tuition. With only two votes in favor of the motion, the motion was defeated. Mr. Frost submitted a motion to present the proposal with flexibility to decrease border counties tuition but keep the rates higher than in state tuition. Two options should be prepared to present and allow HEPC to select one. The Board could then set the fee schedule depending upon the decision of HEPC. Mr. Kantor seconded. Discussion followed. Motion carried.
Legislative and Media Relations Update
Mr. Nelson reviewed the present Legislative bills that pertain to Bluefield State College. He reported that SB 603 gave BSC the authorization to offer graduate level courses. Also SB 674 passed requiring the bookstores to publicly display the ISBN of the books for course listings. Mr. Nelson recommended that the college work with bookstore manager Jane Richardson to draft language to bring back to the Board for consideration in the future.
Enrollment Management Report
Mr. John Cardwell gave a report on enrollment for the coming year and the progress of pre-registration. He reported that the enrollment numbers are down slightly but Mr. Cardwell is working with the advisors to get all currently enrolled students pre-registered.
- New students have recently been inducted into the Honor Society, and the Student Government Association will be honoring students at the Student Awards Banquet.
-The Annual Scholarship dinner in recognition of donors and scholarship recipients will take place on April 28.
-Athletic banquet will take place on May 2, 2005.
-Graduation ceremonies will include 477 candidates.
-Construction of the Upperclassman II is three weeks ahead of schedule. Mr. Roger Workman recently gave a tour of the facility to a number of athletes and coaches from BSC. The plan is to be completely finished by July 10, 2005.
-College Summit is an organization that works with high school students to get them into college. They will be on the BSC campus this summer and will be housed in the Upperclassman II facility. Dr. Walker informed the group that the facility has already secured 35 leases for the fall semester.

5 charged in Houston human smuggling operationap file photo
Authorities search people outside a house in southeast Houston where more than 100 people in the United States illegally were discovered, according to police. Five men, at least two of them from Mexico, are accused of using guns and threats to hold 115 people hostage unless they paid ransom to continue their illegal entry into the United States.
HOUSTON Five men, at least two of them from Mexico, are accused of using guns and threats to hold 115 people hostage in a small Houston house unless they paid ransom to continue their illegal entry into the United States.
A criminal complaint from Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Andres Garcia Jr. said the people, discovered last week crammed into the home of less than 1,300 square feet, were stripped of their shoes and most of their clothing to keep them from escaping.
They also were threatened with violence if they did not comply and there were instances of some being kicked and beaten and females being groped, the complaint said. One pregnant girl was among people struck with a wooden paddle.
The five men Jose Aviles-Villa, Jonathan Solorzano-Tavila, Antonio Barruquet-Hildiberta, Jose Cesmas-Borja and Eugenio Sesmas-Borja stood handcuffed and shackled during a brief court appearance Tuesday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy on hostage-taking, weapons and conspiracy charges.
This is an alien smuggling case, basically, where a firearm was used in connection with this offense, Stacy told them. Your lawyer can more fully describe the accusations against you.
One of the men wore shorts, others were in jeans. All listened on headphones as the proceedings were translated for them into Spanish. Stacy reviewed questionnaires that indicated all had wives and children. She agreed to a request from each for a court-appointed attorney. The judge specified the attorney be Spanish-speaking but denied immediate bail because the defendants were considered a flight risk.
A bond hearing was set for Thursday. The defendants also were entitled to a probable cause hearing, she said.
Conviction on the hostage-taking charge carried up to a life prison term and $250,000 fine, federal prosecutor Julie Searle said. Convictions on the weapons charge could result in up to 10 years in prison and conspiracy up to 20 years, plus fines, she said.
Aviles-Villa and Cesmas-Borja told Houston police they were from Mexico and in the U.S. illegally, according to the criminal complaint. The immigration status of the three other men was not immediately clear.
One of the people held hostage told authorities Solorzano-Tavila appeared to be the person in charge at the stash house, where smugglers bring the people theyve brought into the U.S. illegally and keep them until they or their family members pay a ransom.
Captives told authorities they were held under armed guard. Doors were locked with dead bolts and windows were covered with plywood. A wood paddle, stun gun, ammunition, shotgun and rifle were found at the home, according to the criminal complaint.
Aviles-Villa and Cesmas-Borja were in a car that had left the house that police pulled over because it had no rear-view mirror. Officers spotted a handgun protruding from beneath the front passenger seat, according to the court document.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

Its tough. It really is. That's exactly what Haylee did--she bit me a couple times and I responded with ouch. Pretty soon, she was biting me, laughing and saying ouch, then running away, happy as can be. Its up to you where you want to go from here. You can treat it as a strike and continue to offer, if you want to continue. But that isn't sure to work either.

It sounds like a strike to me too. When DD started biting I found what worked for us was to offer less often. I hope you find a solution that works for you.
Wow, I didn't imagine I would get this kind of response. Thanks Ladies! This has been a great 13 months, and I know I would never have made it this long without all of you here for support. I will continue to take it one day at a time & let K lead the way. Who knows, maybe it is a strike. But this whole time, she has been super great with me, showering me daily with hugs & kisses, never letting me out of her site. I wouldn't change having a High Needs Baby for any other baby in the world. If this stage in our relationship is over, please know that I will continue to come to this forum. Who knows, maybe I can help another WOHM make it to 1 year. Thanks again to everyone!!!

Thats the whole idea! Keep coming back.
Aweee....you sound like me. I have nursed my baby for 8 months now and he no longer is interested (except when going to bed at night or waking in the middle of the night) He too could care less. I am still pumping though and giving him 1-2 bottles of EBM during the day. The rest is formula in a bottle. How did you feel about stopping because I feel so bad (sad) that I too will soon end my breastfeeding. He just is not interested, my production is so low now and he is biting me more frequently. OUCHHHH!!!!
So hoping we might just be going through a strike, I tried offering the boob to Miss K last night. She was so grumpy. So I pulled it out and said "Do you want this?" She smiled, waved "Hi", then leaned in and licked it really quick. Then she broke out laughing. What can I say, I tried.

MARCH: Miss South by Southwest in Austin where "Opus Jazz" is playing because I am working on "Catfish." "Opus Jazz" premieres on PBS. I watch it live and alone on my outdated television in Brooklyn. It's the first time I see something that I have edited on TV.

Governor Scott Walker wants to create nearly 200 new transportation engineering positions.
The budget Walker released Wednesday calls for adding 180 engineering and engineering support positions within the state Department of Transportation. The governor says the move would reduce costs for outside consultants by $5.6 million annually.
WISC-TV followed the money in May 2011 and found private engineers were often doing state work at a much higher price tag. WISC-TV was told then that steps were under way to remedy the spending.
The practice of shifting state work at the DOT to private contractors began nearly a decade ago. It was costing the state money in 2011, and WISC-TV found it's still going on today, but the DOT secretary said officials were trying to find a new balance of work to save money.
Walker's total transportation budget would be $6.4 billion, a $500 million increase over the last state budget.
The spending plan calls for using a mixture of gas taxes, vehicle registration fees, the state's general fund, the petroleum inspection fund and bonding toward rebuilding Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange and Hoan Bridge, improving harbors, preserving railroad tracks and training new State Patrol recruits.

My DD is 10 weeks old and when we started out she gained weight slowly but steadily, in the 25th centile.
Now, she has slowed to below the 9th. She put on 3.5oz in the last week and my health visitor has said I should start supplementing with formula - I really don't want to but am concerned for my baby's health. She poos/wees just fine and is alert, showing no signs of dehydration etc
We do have issues breastfeeding - she only eats for about 5-10 mins at a time, very often refuses the right side altogether and sometimes screams and screams whilst latched on (either side) and refuses to eat any more...
breastfeeding is *hard*!
Can anyone help??

A Kona man has been charged with 11 offenses as the result of a robbery investigation, according to Big Island police.
On Dec. 16, police responded to a 7:30 p.m. report of a robbery. Responding officers determined that the victim, a 36-year-old Ocean View man, was confronted by the suspect as the victim was coming out of a garage access area at Kona Plaza in downtown Kailua-Kona. The suspect grabbed cash from the victim's hand and ran away.
The victim chased the suspect to the parking lot of Coconut Grove Marketplace, where the suspect began striking the victim repeatedly with a metal chain, causing minor injuries. The victim was able to gain possession of the chain and the suspect fled the area.
Investigation by detectives determined the identity of the suspect, 31-year-old Jacob DeMasters of Kailua-Kona, who was located and arrested Tuesday.
Wednesday, DeMasters was charged with robbery, assault and theft. He was also charged with three counts of promoting a dangerous drug, two counts of promoting a harmful drug, one count of promoting a detrimental drug and two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia for items that were in the car he was in at the time of his arrest.
DeMasters was held at the Kona police cellblock in lieu of $18,750 bail until his initial court appearance Thursday.

Registered: 02/25/13
Posts: 2
Loc: California
I am trying to rationalize the language of risk and am stuck on antonyms of hazard and threat (both as nouns), where hazard is something in a harmless state, threat is in a harmful state. The antonym of hazard would need to mean something in a not-helping-but-could-change-to-helping state, the antonym of threat would need to mean something in a helping state. Any ideas? Some potential antonyms (such as ally for threat) surely count as antonyms but do not seem generalizable enough conceptually to include other antonyms (such as contributor)..

You'll probably have to explain, at least for some of us, how a hazard can be something in a harmless state. Some concrete examples would be a good start. I could see a hazard as something that is passively dangerous while a threat is actively dangerous. Not what I would call antonyms.

Hazard and threat are different states of the same thing, a harmless state and a harmful state. So an example would be a river (harmless state) and flood (harmful state). I am stuck on antonyms of both hazard and threat.

A hazard is unintentionally potentially harmful. A threat is intentionally potentially harmful. That's the way I take it.

Yes, I would urge you not to compare your baby to other babies or get too hung up on the numbers - if she's healthy, she is gaining, she's hitting milestones, and you're seeing good diaper output, then all is well. Some babies are just more petite than others, and that's just how they are!
You can call me JoMo!
Mom to baby boy Joe, born 5/4/09 and breastfed for more than two and a half years, and baby girl Maggie, born 7/9/12.
My Son was born 8lbs 10oz and 21 1/2" long. At his 6 week check up he weighed 15lbs ?oz and was 24" long. We went today for our two month check up (he will be nine weeks tomorrow) and he weighed 17lbs 2oz and was 25" long. He is completely off the charts in his weight and height. I'm hoping he will slow down soon but I'm happy that he's healthy.
my little girl was 7 13oz at birth, and at 9 weeks/2 months, she only weighed 9lbs 6oz. , at 11 weeks shes still only 9 6oz. breast feeding exclusively and it seems to be going very well, the breast feeding clinic is not sure why she isnt gaining weight very well. gaining only 1 ounce a week now, if that good latch, baby is sleeping well feeding regularly (2-3hrs) very alert and strong, peeing great, not a lot of pooping tho.(pooping only a few times every 2 weeks, happening since birth, not constipated).
Any suggestions??
I'm the one who started the post and my girl also is not a big pooper since birth. Now at almost 2 months she goes about twice - 3x times a week. LC says it's normal. We had some breastfeeding trouble in the beginning but now she is catching up. She will be 2 months next week and is also very alert and happy so I don't think it's a milk supply issue. It just bothers me when people are like...omg she is so small! I guess they are use to fat babies all the time. My husband and I are both lean. Some babies will just be lean.. llli*jasper sounds like your case has been evaluated by LCs and doctors so you and I must just be part of the same club

Re: Well... That sucked
HRR wrote:get rid of the bimbo.. that would be a start, secondly, I don't believe that DG was able to take his notes from SHR to JGR... And if he did.. it is biting Tony in the ####. Tony had one of the best overall records at Atlanta, besides, it was his type of track.. so what was the problem? It was not a typical day for the 14 team, its like a curse like last year.. We all know, he was robbed by the water bottle at Richmond in the spring.. so, you know that is going to be on his mind this weekend. One other thing, since the announcement about Army leaving, I have noticed the downward slide of SHR as a whole. Was no surprise what happened last night... I think some bigger news will be announced by the end of this week about SHR. It is too late in the year for another sponsor to jump on Tony's SHR team cars (major) ones. So, you might hear that SHR, will slim down to 2 cars, 14 and 10 next year, and Go Daddy becoming a part time deal with 14 team. That would be the only real solution for this issue with sponsors. Danica goes full time next year, Ryan will be out, and or.. there is one more possibility.. Kurt Busch coming to 39 team, bring Monster Energy to SHR.. bet you have not thought of that possibility.
Howzabout JD Byrider?? Is Bass Pro staying with Fred McMurray?? I like the Monster idea too, thanks for bringing that to mind.........

Sam McCoy wants to bring that back.
As fire chief he is starting with the upcoming 40th celebration of the department's founding to remind people of those days and the festival called Normanna Days.
At noon Saturday, the town will look quite different as hundreds are expected to attend the celebration.
At the heart of this community right now is the post office and fire station. The postal service will be reducing the hours the office is open to four daily.
"As long as we keep our post office there. That is where everybody meets," he said. "I would hate to see that go. It would really isolate the community."
But while the post office is shrinking, the fire department is growing.
"It is a privilege for us to do what we are doing," McCoy said. "We have had to use a lot of our own money. You are fighting it uphill."
Tracie Sanders, department secretary/treasurer, said that she hopes the celebration will be just another reminder of the change to the department.
"I am hoping with what we have done it will help bring the community back the way it used to be," she said.
The department hit hard times a while back, and support from the community dwindled. But times have changed, as can be seen by ticket sales for the department's benefit gun raffle.
"I have very few tickets left," he said. "We are going to run out before we have the raffle.
"We have been so blessed."
McCoy said that they hoped to sell 1,000 tickets and, as quickly as they are going, he will reach that by Saturday.
In one day, he sold about $2,500 worth of tickets.
"It was just a blessing," he said. "It was almost too emotion to comprehend."
McCoy isn't going to take credit for the turnaround of the department. He just isn't that type.
"It was the good people coming into the department that helped turn it around," he said.
McCoy didn't come to Normanna with the idea of being fire chief. He came there to retire.
"I just wanted to lay back and take it easy," he said. Yeah, he helped out around the community, picking up trash and mowing tall grass when he saw it.
Some of that grass was around the old Normanna school building owned by one of the Beck brothers. For those watching, keep an eye on this building. McCoy says it could one day become a community center of sorts for this town.
"I really love the community and Bee County," he said.
For those wanting to help the department, there might still be a ticket or two left in the gun raffle. If not, there are always the barbecue plates and festivities this weekend.
McCoy said members will be serving up plates of sausage and beef with all the trimmings for only $5 a plate. For kids under 10, plates will sell for only $3.
Tickets for the gun raffle are $20 each. And for those who invest $100 in a purchase of five raffle tickets, the department will throw in a free ticket.
The weapons are being provided by Americana Arms, a local gun dealer.
Ticket holders will have a chance at winning a Smith & Wesson sport, AR-15 that can shoot both 5.56mm and .224-caliber ammunition, an ATI 1911 pistol that shoots .45 ACP ammunition and can be changed out to fire .22-caliber rimfire rounds.
There will also be a Cimarron Frontier, single-action, .357 Magnum revolver, a Henry blued 30-30 lever action rifle, a Henry Big Boy 44 with a brass receiver, a Ruger Tactical Mini 14 and a Ruger 50th anniversary NRA 10-22, semiautomatic rifle.
The big prize will be a Thompson, 1927A-1 semiautomatic "Tommy Gun."
All of the money raised will go to help the fire department make needed repairs and continue to grow.
"These last five years have really meant a lot to me," McCoy said. "Hopefully, I can stick around for a few more and continue helping out."
Jason Collins is the editor at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 343-5221, or at email@example.com.

Nice thread we should get a win tonight if we can keep getting to the charity stripe!!!! key to the game would be stop cp3 from taking over the game
The last time the New York Knicks won six straight road games, first-year New Orleans coach Monty Williams was a rookie playing for New York.
The Knicks will try to accomplish that feat Friday night when they try to hand Williams' Hornets a rare home loss.
New York (10-9) is over .500 this late in the season for the first time since it was 16-15 on Jan. 4, 2005. The Knicks have won seven of eight overall after beating New Jersey 111-100 on Tuesday.
"We are playing better and we can see we can get a lot better than this," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We're all excited now, but reality is we'll go to New Orleans on Friday. That's going to be hard to win."
The Knicks haven't won six straight on the road since a seven-game run Dec. 27, 1994-Jan. 22, 1995. Williams, a first-round pick by New York in 1994, played sparingly as a reserve that season.
He's now coaching a New Orleans (13-5) team that's been a surprise after winning 37 games last season. The Hornets are tied for the best home record in the NBA with an 8-1 mark after beating Charlotte 89-73 on Wednesday.
"The hometown crowd is great," center Emeka Okafor said. "It gave us that boost that we needed."
Under Williams, the Hornets are a vastly improved defensive team. They are near the top of the league in limiting opponents to 43.1 percent shooting after last season's 48.3 percent mark -- the NBA's third-worst.
Defense was the key Wednesday, as the Hornets limited the Bobcats to 40.8 percent from the field. New Orleans outscored Charlotte 24-11 in the fourth quarter.
"It's not going to be pretty all the time," Williams said. "As a coach you'd like to have everything look nice and execute offense and guys come off screens and hit jump shots, but in the NBA you are going to have games like that and we are just glad we came out on the winning side."
David West scored 22 points and Chris Paul handed out 14 assists.
Paul will renew a rivalry with Knicks point guard Raymond Felton that began in college when the former was at Wake Forest and the latter at North Carolina. The two were drafted fourth and fifth, respectively, in 2005, and Paul has blossomed into a three-time All-Star.
Felton, though, is enjoying the best season of his career in his first one with New York. He's averaging 18.2 points and 8.1 assists as he gets accustomed to playing with Amare Stoudemire, who's averaging 36.0 points the last two games.
"I think he's getting more comfortable with what we're doing," said D'Antoni about Felton. "We're getting better spacing. There's a timing between the two that they have to develop. You never know if they will and they have."
Stoudemire averaged 26.3 points on 62.7 percent shooting last season against the Hornets while with Phoenix, although he should be challenged by their improved defense.
The Knicks have won four straight over New Orleans, overcoming Paul's averages of 22.5 points and 10.8 assists in those games.

Knicks 2012
Nice thread we should get a win tonight if we can keep getting to the charity stripe!!!! key to the game would be stop cp3 from taking over the game
Oh **** thanks for doing it I completley forgot!
Yeah so we gotta shut down West in the post and Ray needs to lock down CP3 and we got this one!
This should be a good game... Kinda wish we had Turiaf back so Chandler doesn't have to play against West.
Belinelli, very proud of his season. He deserves it, he's a good guy.
The italian rambo
West might be alittle to big and strong for Chandler to guard him all game.. I wanna see Mozgov at the C and Amare at pf to start.
David West punkass is out!!!! this is a must win
