UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 – Press Conference Tomorrow in Toronto
UFC® light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones returns to Air Canada Centre® in Toronto on Saturday, September 21 to defend his title against Swedish contender Alexander "The Mauler" Gustafsson. The Ultimate Fighting Championship® announced today that tickets for this five-round championship bout will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 11 at 10 a.m. EST.
At just 25 years old, Jones is one the most dominant fighters in UFC light heavyweight history. His 12 wins are 2nd most in the division's history while his five consecutive title defenses tie him with UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz's light heavyweight record.
Gustafsson, 26, enters the bout with a near spotless record, having won six straight while holding a 15-1 all-time record (7-1 in the UFC). Injury forced him off an April card in his native Sweden however his previous bout saw him earn a unanimous decision over former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua in December 2012.
"Jon Jones is re-writing the record book for the light heavyweight division," UFC President Dana White said. "He is one of the pound-for-pound best in the world with a record-tying five straight title defenses by age 25. This bout with Gustafsson is an awesome fight. Alex is a big man plus he's mean and hungry – and excited for the opportunity to fight Jones."
Jones and Gustafsson will join Tom Wright, UFC Director of Canadian Operations, at a public press conference at Real Sports Bar & Grill® (15 York St., Toronto) on Tuesday, July 9 at 12p.m. EST. Media interested in attending the event should RSVP by email to Carolyn Blakely (firstname.lastname@example.com) by July 8.
In addition to the Jones-Gustafsson showdown, Toronto will also see another UFC belt on the line as interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao (32-1, 1 NC, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) will look for his second straight title defense against No.4 ranked contender Eddie Wineland (20-8-1, fighting out of Chesterton, Indiana). The pair were to meet at UFC 161 in June but injury forced Barao off the card as he now brings his impressive unbeaten streak (30 victories, 1 no-contest) against the former WEC bantamweight champion.
Other bouts for UFC 165 include two heavyweights making their Octagon® debut and four Canadians in action:
- Heavyweights Daniel Omielanczuk (15-3-1, 1 NC, fighting out of Warsaw, Poland) vs. Nandor Guelmino (11-4-1, fighting out of Vienna, Austria)
- Welterweights Stephen Thompson (7-1, fighting out of Simpsonville, South Carolina) vs. London, Ontario's Chris Clements (11-4-0, 1 NC)
- Brazilian lightweight Michel Prazeres (16-1) vs. Woodbridge, Ontario's Mark Bocek (11-5)
- Lightweight Myles Jury(12-0, fighting out of San Diego, California) vs. Montreal's Mike Ricci (9-3)
- Japan's Norifumi Yamamoto (18-6, 1 NC) vs. Montreal's Ivan Menjivar (25-10) in a bantamweight contest

Yet Auerbach, the Jewish outsider in Irish Boston, immediately took to Russell, the African American from Louisiana and Oakland, and he was a coach like no other. Auerbach listened to his players, experimented freely, and knit together a team based only on results. Together they made sports history, winning 11 championships in 13 years. Along the way, Auerbach elevated Russell to player-coach, the first African-American coach in league history. Together, they battled prejudice both on and off the court, and created a team chemistry for the ages.
Even this glory is surpassed by another, little known aspect of their relationship: they became lifelong friends. As Russell explains, they were prepared for each other by their fathers, both strong men who loved their sons unconditionally. They both intuitively understood the dynamics of male friendship: there are many things left unsaid, but there is always understanding and respect. Over the many years since Russell retired from the Celtics and moved to the west coast, they saw each other rarely but spoke on the phone regularly. They were always there for each other. As Auerbach fell ill and declined, Russell was there, knowing how to reach out while respecting his former coach′s privacy. When Auerbach passed away in October, 2006, Russell refused to speak publicly about a relationship that was so deeply personal. Here, he offers a tribute greater than any speech.
This is a book not just for sports lovers, not just for fathers and sons, but for male friendships of all shapes and sizes.
In fact, little known to the public, Auerbach and Russell--one a short, brash Jew from Brooklyn, the other a tall, intense African-American from Louisiana and Oakland--were far more than just coach and player. Through thirteen years of building a sports dynasty together, one that remains among the greatest of all time, their relationship evolved into a rare, telling example of deep male friendship: confident, supportive, understanding, founded in common goals, even as their feelings remained largely unspoken. They stayed close for the rest of Auerbach's life, despite physical distance and far fewer chances to be together. True male friends are always there for each other, whenever the need or occasion arises.
Red and Me is an extraordinary book: an homage to a peerless coach, showing how he produced results unlike any other; an inspiring story of mutual success, in which each man gave his all, and gained back even more; above all, it may be the best depiction of male friendship ever put on the page. Who would have guessed that such different men could have become such a tightly bonded pair? Few did guess it. Now Russell tells it.
In Red and Me, Boston Celtics basketball legend Bill Russell pays homage to his mentor and coach, the inimitable Red Auerbach. A poignant remembrance of a life-altering relationship in the tradition of Big Russ and Me and Tuesdays With Morrie, Red and Me tells an unforgettable story of one unlikely and enduring friendship set against the backdrop of the greatest basketball dynasty in NBA history.
"Bill Russell was the greatest team basketball player ever….[He] has produced a moving tribute to his friend and, in a larger sense, to friendship."
Alan Steinberg is the author of numerous books, including the New York Times bestseller Behind the Mask and Black Profiles in Courage with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

CALABASH 08—IMAGINE—Festival Dispatches
Calabash 2008 – Sunday May 25th
Calabash Sunday manages, somehow, to become something of a church service. Of course, the entire festival is about the word, and the spoken word and the received and given word and people at the festival like to talk about spirit and vibe and heart and such the like. But Sunday is Sunday and it is hard to shake the feel of Sunday morning in Jamaica. Early in the morning, in the silence before the sound system kicks into gear in the tent area, you can hear choruses and hymns carrying over the acacia bushes and zinc roofed houses—the rituals of prayer and grace. Some Calabashers want to have a real service at the festival on Sunday. They pull me aside each year, and pitch this ecumenical service for all who will come. I suspect it could happen, but I realize also that in the throes of the festival, I can only think that it would be another brilliant idea to be managed. And we have many brilliant ideas. We don't try all of them. We simply can't. But the suggestions will always come. These are not to be seen as criticisms. They are the gestures of those who see the festival as their own and they would like to see it embrace something of their own image. I think, though, that there is so much open beach at Treasure Beach, and praying people do not need the stamp of Calabash to make something happen. Calabashers have been known to turn a simple gathering at the beach into a service to music and dance, or a service to political discussion, or an improvised outdoor hotel, and much else.
By ten o'clock, the tent is only half full. By ten twenty, it is three quarters full. And the morning will begin with the celebration of the work of poet and novelist. Claude McKay. As we have done for the past five years, Calabash this year will feature a classic Caribbean work. This year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of McKay's Banana Bottom. McKay left Jamaica as a young man in 1912, and never returned. He lived in Europe and the US and became a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance. A few months ago, I drove with a small crew of camera man, nurse and HIV/AIDS activist deep into the hills of Clarendon to visit the Claude McKay high School while working on a project that would culminate in a long article and a beautiful website (www.livehopelove.com). The island was soaking wet during that time, and the Clarendon hills were chaotically green and thick with bursting foliage. I imagined McKay growing up in these hills and it made sense to me that no matter how long McKay stayed away from Jamaica, the landscape would continue to hold his imagination captive. Banana Bottom, it turns out, is as much about the landscape of rural Jamaica at the turn of the last century, as it is about the spiritual contradictions of Jamaican life.
The readings are preceded by the voice of McKay reading his signature poem, "If We Must Die". The rural flatness of tone and pitch is unmistakable as he reads the poem. It is a hauntingly lovely introduction to some of the best such readings we have had at Calabash this far. Actress, Denise Hunt reads first. She introduces us to Bita the female protagonist in the work—the girl who was raped, and who would spend the rest of the novel trying to assert her commitment to the rural Jamaican values and beliefs despite the pressure of her British education and her indebtedness to missionaries. Denis Hunt is a talented actress who reads with confidence and clarity. She is followed by a veteran of stage and film, Lloyd Reckord. What he does with a long stretch of dramatic preaching from a deeply disturbed and disturbing minister who has not patience with the customs and rites of the rural Africans is quite remarkable. He is then followed by Barbara Gloudon, a playwright, media celebrity and stalwarts in the arts. After she ends her reading, Eddie Baugh, a professor emeritus at the University of the West Indies, and former orator for that school, a title and role that is quite British and one that I have come to miss here in the US where arbitrary individuals are given the task of reading off the names of graduates or making important ceremonial announces at public events. Baugh is a practiced reader. His years as an actor in his youth, serve him well here, but mostly it is the voice. It is engaging and draws the listener in.
The book store tells me after that they were successful in moving quite a number of copies of Banana Bottom. This is the whole point of the exercise. As I tell the audience, I am quite sure that when the classic authors write their works, they were not writing them for some undergraduate class to read and pore over. They wrote them to be read, enjoyed and reread. This is precisely what we have been trying to do at Calabash, to wrest the business of reading and appreciating literature from the clutches of "education" and return it to the realm of "entertainment". A tad populist, and perhaps quixotic, but it seems to be working quite well. The instinct seems just right.
After a short break, the gathering crowd has grown significantly. There is some anticipation. First there will be an Open Mic session, the last of this year's festival. And secondly, there will be music with Ibo Cooper, Steven Golding, Seretse Small, and Wayne Armond, our usual Calabash " Acoustic Ensemble". But this time, the crew will be joined by Bob Andy whose song book is to be featured at this year's festival. In the past we have celebrated the song books of artists who have passed: Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, or who could not be present, Bunny Wailer. This year, Bob Andy agreed to come and perform and so there is great excitement to hear these largely "unplugged" versions of some of his most famous songs.
There is much to anticipate yes, but before all of that, four poets are about to read, and this reading will end up being one of the most dynamic events for the entire weekend. The poets are Aracelis Girmay, a poet of Eritrean heritage who now lives and writes in the US; Jackie Kay, a black Scottish poet and fiction writer who has a significant reputation in the UK; Kei Miller, a Jamaican novelist and poet who, at the age of twenty –eight has already published four titles; and Greg Pardlo, an African American poet who debut collection just won the Honickmann Award. It is a formidable line up, and as I introduce them, I realize that this is the poetry reading I have wanted to hear.
Aracelis Grimay's natural voice could be called soft, but when she faces a poem, something happens to that voice—it seems to carry a largeness of emotion and presence that reminds you of her experience as a poet who has been working on the circuit for several years as she has honed her poems collected in her critically acclaimed first book Teeth. Grimay writes about important things, about ideas of place, about political questions, about the body, and in her final poem she turns a riddle into an elegant anthem about acceptance and love. It is a stunning performance by her, and when she reveals the answer to the riddle, and then embarks on a chant full of music and meaning, the audience applauds in mid-poem, and the allows her to carry them to that shared place of emotional sublimation that poetry can achieve.
Jackie Kay, at first, seems to be waiting for the applause after Grimay to fade out—as if she wants Aracelis to enjoy the full appreciation of the audience. But when that fades out, she is still sitting there, her face alight with a smile and a look that makes me panic slightly. "Does she know she needs to go up without another announcement?" I ask myself. She still sits there. Then she looks to the sound "booth" area. I try to signal her. Finally she bounds up to the stage and stands there grinning. "I thought there would be music. There is usually music between the readers," she laughs. And she is right. Colin had instated this year, some interesting track to be played between each reader. He used Dennis Brown's. "Here I come" to introduce Derek Walcott, for instance. It is quite brilliant. But somehow, between poets here, the music does not kick on. Kay, though, is only slightly disappointed. She leaps into action. She announces why Calabash has been such a transformative time for her, she is full of amusing stories, self-deprecating, and yet tender stories that let you know right away that you are going to enjoy this Scottish woman who was adopted by a white family as a child, whose parents were Nigerian and Scottish. Kay's poems are tough-minded, they look boldly into experience and yet manage to arrive at some hope and some sense of possibility. She takes us to Nigeria, to Scotland, and finally, she ends with a poem written at Treasure Beach after a long boat ride up Black River. It is a beautiful poem, and its immediacy turns it into something of a tour de force. The audience eats it up, and well we should.
Kei Miller, a young poet and novelist follows her. His wry remark, "I would have to follow, Jackie Kay," turns out to be something of a personal challenge. He understands his audience. Kei Miller is now studying and teaching in Scotland, and in the space of a few years has already produced four books that have received strong critical attention. His poems are rooted in Jamaica, and they enjoin narrative that is not pedestrian. Instead, he is able to find brilliant ironies in moments, and he is able to find these epiphanies of thought and emotion that never seem false. Miller has been churched in the cadence of charisma and Pentecostal fire, and he manages to bring that same rhythm and appreciation of the sacred moment to his reading. At the end of it all, his is a celebration of the people sitting before him, and it is clear that they appreciate what he is doing. When he banters about living in "farrin", we all laugh at the familiarity of nostalgia.
It is clear that this reading has surprised a number of people. There is something electric in the air and I watch the faces of people. They are smiling with something like amazement at their good fortune to be in this moment here by the sea. I know already that after the reading and for the rest of the evening and for days to come people will be talking about this reading.
When Greg Pardlo, a cool African American poet comes on stage as the anchor, he can be forgiven for feeling a little pressure. And the audience knows this. They are supportive and applaud him as he begins to read his poems. These complex poems that draw on history, on the music and culture of the African American experience and that generate an unabashed intellectual quality come out of him. He reads very new poems to the audience, and then takes us to the poems that sparkle in his new collection of poems. In these poems he introduces us to family and to memory. The poems are tender and thoughtful. The audience is quiet, but it is clear that they are fully engaged with this work.
I jump on stage when Greg Pardlo is done and call the names of the four poets aloud. There is something intoxicatingly giddy about watching people applaud at a good mix, a good slate, a good moment. It is clear to me that these poets will move some books today.
After an open mic session that keeps people under the tent—one whose highlight is something of an ode to the vagina by a woman, everyone knows that the Festival is drawing to a close. John DaCosta arranges the stage for the musicians. For the first time during this whole event, we are not sure where the next 'act" is. The musicians must be somewhere together, but we don't know. I ask John if he is ready. He says he is. I make a few announcement to kill time, and in that hiatus, the three guitars, Steven Golding, Wayne Armond and Seretse Small make their way on stage and begin to get wires plugged in and monitors working. Ibo Cooper is supposed to be on stage with his keyboard, but when the performance begins he is not there as yet. Bob Andy, a tall elegant Rastaman dressed in full white, steps on stage. Bob Andy is a true veteran—one of the great songwriters of reggae's roots era. He is pleased with the arrangement—a chance to perform his songs so they can be heard as songs, so that the lyrics can be understood fully, so he can talk, and talk, and talk about the songs, about what he values and about what is important to him. He begins by declaring himself a Rastaman, and he explains that everything he does flows out of that fundamental truth—that he is a Rastaman. This ensemble of musicians is always impressive. Seretse Small is an amazingly gifted guitarist whose speed and tasteful understanding of moment are truly brilliant. Wayne Armond and Steve Golding don't flash like Small does, but they offer sweet licks and rhythm and their vocals are never hurried, never precious, always just right. When Ibo Cooper joins with his keyboard, he brings a bottom end to things, but the whole sound is kept back, kept a low-level—it is about the words. Bob Andy's free ranging conversation with the audience is filled with digressions and improvisations. The band jams quietly behind him prodding him into song and then out of song. It is a study in musicianship and friendship.
The set ends with the audience standing to dance old rock steady numbers. A woman with one leg hops on stage and executes some amazing moves. Colin and a Calabash regular jump on stage to do some "leg" work, as well. This is the last hurrah before we all stand, bow our heads and pray for safe travels back to wherever we have come from. Overhead, clouds have gathered and it seems like we will have some rain. The timing is impeccable.
V.S.Napaul recently said at the Hay Festival in Wales that literary festivals are awful events. He complained that there is hardly any good literature at them largely because there is no good literature being written today. He also pointed out that the people at the festival were all ugly. As I watch the crowd start to thin at Calabash, I realize that Naipaul could not make such a claim at Calabash. The literature is good, and even if his peculiar self-serving subjectivity would lead him to quibble about that matter, one thing he couldn't quibble about is this: the people who come to Calabash are beautiful, beautiful, people. Perhaps Naipaul should try Calabash next year.
Comments (2)
Wonderful post–I love how the acoustic "choruses and hymns carrying over the acacia bushes" tail off and mix with the amplified spoken words of poems. One love, as you say, or is that one poem?
Is there a place on the Internet we can listen to Claude McKay reading his signature poem, or do we just need to book our tickets to Calabash?
Thanks for the dispatches!!
It is with great pleasure that I marinate in the lyrical flow. For years we have been searching for poetic or artistic redemption. The answer is in Calabash. More of us should support this great Festival.

BSW isn't going to screw you over. They're good guys. They've been forum sponsors for a long time and are always very helpful, even in situations when they're not trying to make a sale. That's a lot more than I can say about a lot of sponsors on here.

2) Asks for a copy of my government ID (not comfortable doing that since with those two pieces of ID anyone can steal my identity and apply for any credit they please.
I understand why BSW is doing this because of brokerage fees but I would rather not risk my privacy or personal information. Has anyone had this problem and is it possible to do this without the agreement? Im not the type of person to weasel out of fees.

A prototype solar-powered smartphone is on display at the mobile world congress. It uses Android 2.2 and with just two and half hours of sunlight (or artificial light, if necessary) it will function sufficiently for daily, no-frills, use.
The role of social networking in the Egypt protests has seen a lot of publicity in the media. Eben Moglen, a law professor, is concerned at the centralisation of these networks and the risk it poses for state intervention, as well as the lack of protection for those voicing controversial ideas. He has created the Freedom Box Foundation. The freedom box will be a combination of a tiny server and free software package aiming to decentralise the internet.
Armchair travellers rejoice: Red Bull and a Brazilian ad agency have joined forces to develop Google Street Art View, a searchable map of street art, captured by street view, from around the world.
This way, possibly unseen art gems can have a dramatically widened audience.
A company called Motive Industries is working on a prototype for the Kestrel, a biocomposite electric vehicle made from plastics and hemp. The lighter weight of the car's body could mean a fuel-efficiency increase of up to 30 per cent.

I don't know why this batch of bread ended up so flat. Did I let it rise too much before shaping it? But it's still bread and it's good. And we're thankful that we have it.
Everyday Sandwich Bread for World Bread Day (WBD 2013) and World Food Day (WFD 2013)
It was Thanksgiving this past Monday. Like so many other people in Canada, we had our celebratory Thanksgiving dinner on the weekend, so that on Monday, we could have sandwiches with the leftovers.
And how fortunate are we? We gather around our Thanksgiving tables, happily sharing the traditional feast. And we are thankful. We might even stop to briefly think about less fortunate hungry people in the world. And then because it makes us a little bit uncomfortable, we quickly jump up to get a second helping.
Let's face it. Many of us don't even know what hunger means.
How sad it is that in this world that CAN feed everyone, there are still huge numbers who do know what hunger means. Some of them many never know anything else, with little hope of getting even the smallest crust of bread or a few grains of rice, let alone the rest of the ingredients that go into our Thanksgiving feasts and our every day bountiful tables.
Yes, they know what hunger means. How unfair is that? (continue reading )

Any of my friends on here subscribe to PlayStation Vue? I just started my free trial and I'm pretty impressed so far.
$44.95/month for 90ish channels. Unlimited DVR that stores your shows for up to 28 days. Service seems pretty stable and works on my Android TV and all of my Chromecasts.
I'm trying to find a reason NOT to pay for the monthly subscription, but I just can't seem to.
Your thoughts, if you are a user?

I'm ready for this week to end.
I finally get my car back from the shop and the check engine light is on (it came on initially when the serpentine belt broke). Mechanic says to bring it back in; I bring it back in.
He hooks up his little doo-hickey to see what the deal is and says, "Oh, I see why they didn't reset the engine light because (insert random mechanic speak that I do not comprehend -- all I take away from his statement is that he can't reset it. Surprise, surprise!) but it will take some time to look at. I won't charge you for the preliminary, but if it's something that's going to take a lot of time, there might be charges that are incurred". (Of course there might, dick.) Then he tells me to bring it back when I can leave it for a half day and he'll get to it.
The moral of this story is - cars suck. Mechanics suck.... more »

Of course, the social network is more about the people you're socializing with than it is about the look of the platform, but it just doesn't feel the same as it used to.

Watching my 5 year old use Google Voice Search to ask about all of his favorite super heroes. It blows my mind how he figured out how to use this app to do a ton of different things.
He downloads games, plays videos on YouTube, and now he's gotten into asking it questions.

Smith Revokes Southall's Scholarship
June 7, 2000
LEXINGTON, Ky. - In light of the latest legal proceedings surrounding 6-9 forward Michael Southall of West Salem, Wis., University of Kentucky men's basketball coach Orlando "Tubby" Smith has decided to withdraw Southall's scholarship offer to play for the Wildcats next season.
"This is one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make, but we've chosen to revoke Michael's scholarship because his behavior was detrimental to our program," Smith said. "We believe he's a young man who has a lot of potential and a lot to look forward to in the future. This move will allow him to pursue other options and we wish Michael and his family the best."
The action renders Southall's signed national letter-of-intent null and void.
Smith will have no further comment on the matter.

You are herecontent / Citizens Are Sitting In at Nadler's Office, Request Support
Citizens Are Sitting In at Nadler's Office, Request Support
Several activists from World Can't Wait, joined by other antiwar activists are at Jerold Nadler's Brooklyn office today. They don't intend to leave until they get a commitment from Nadler to get impeachment started in the House Judiciary Committee. They are requesting that you put out the word, asking people to call Nadler's offices to make the same demand.
Washington Office: Tel. 202-225-5635, Manhattan Office: Tel. 212-367-7350, Brooklyn Office: Tel. 718-373-3198.
Here is the letter they are delivering:
New York City Constituents for Impeachment
Open Letter to Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08)
January 2, 2008
The impeachment of Cheney is being called for in H. Res. 333/799 (see attached copy of H. Res. 799 dated November 6, 2007). The legislation is now in the House Judiciary Committee, presumably the business of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
U.S. Reps. Robert Wexler (D., Fla.), Luis Guiterrez (D., Ill.) and Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.), are members of the Judiciary Committee and have petitioned the other members to begin important impeachment hearings immediately. (See http://www.wexlerwantshearings.com). Over 170,000 citizens nationwide have signed onto Cong. Wexler's letter in only its first six days and the petition received the attention of mainstream media such as the Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald and others.
We are here today because you, Congressman Nadler, are Chairman of that Subcommittee.
In your recent press release wherein you began hearings on "The Applicability of Federal Criminal Laws to the Interrogation of Foreign Detainees," you state that "…we may be facing the possibility of a dangerous and criminal abuse of power at the highest levels of our government. The matters at stake here are far from trivial." (See attached press release).
You also stated: "…in times of crisis, it is always beneficial to remember the principles upon which this nation was founded. It was John Adams who observed that 'power always thinks…that it is doing God's service when it is violating all His laws.' We are a nation of laws, and we are a free and democratic nation."
We call on you, Congressman Nadler:
· to sign on to H. Res. 333/799, press for a hearing on the bill and hold a vote to pass it;
· to press for adoption of H. Res. 333/799 in the Judiciary Committee as a whole and move it out to the House of Representatives;
· to publicly encourage your colleagues to sign on to H. Res. 333/799 and to bring it to the Democratic Caucus for its support.
We, constituents and New York City residents, are disappointed by the Democrats who were swept into office by the voters in November 2006. We are disappointed that the war is still funded; we are disappointed that the Executive Office can still slap Congress' face with impunity; we are disappointed that the real and present dangers posed by Bush and Cheney are not being addressed. We are appalled and ashamed that war crimes committed by our government have not been repudiated. We say ENOUGH!
Congressman Nadler: you have the power to act on behalf of the majority of the American people who say ENOUGH! We are here today to demand that you use that power.

I am a constituent of Cong. Nadler's and made my voice heard in support of this effort. Thanks!
The Congressman's Brooklyn address:
Rep. Jerrold Nadler
445 Neptune Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11224
Tel. 718-373-3198
His contact info page on his web site: http://www.house.gov/nadler/contact.shtml
I made my calls and both the Washington and Brooklyn office aides said they are receiving a huge volume of calls on this.

that while Conyers chairs the committee, Nadler chairs the subcommittee. Is it possible people are still learning the basics a year into this?
I called all 3 offices. Only the DC office took my name and address. The receptionist in Brooklyn sounded irritated -- said she had a constituent at her desk, and couldn't help me if I'm not a local constituent. Keep up the pressure. Impeachment is coming!
Stop everything, impeach!
Linda Boyd
Washington For Impeachment
The staff person seemed quite happy that I was brief and to the point. Thank you, Brooklyn!
December 28, 2007 Nadler Comments
On President Bush's "violation" of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and why he won't be impeached:
"Well, if we had the votes, we should. But we're never going to get the votes. There's no point in trying it. On the merits he should've been impeached, but I oppose impeachment because it would just divert everybody's attention and you'd never get the votes. But the fact is impeachment is not a punishment. It was intended as a protection of liberty. It doesn't work. It doesn't work because essentially the framers of the Constitution did not see foresee political parties."
Progressive Democrats of America
Impeachment Working Group National Coordinator
[Read Foreign Press]
A well qualified prosecutor goes into court with his iron clad case, takes a look at the jury and states to the judge and folks in the courtroom, "the votes aren't there, I won't prosecute this case". However, if Rep Jerrold Nadler went ahead with impeachment hearings he could find his colleagues and the American people very receptive to the overwhelming evidence he presented and he would quickly discover that the votes were there for him all along. Duty calls on Rep Jerrold Nadler to do his duty and join Rep Robert Wexler's call for immediate impeachment hearings at www.WexlerWantsHearings.com.
Nadler's D.C. office and his Brooklyn office (the two I called) stated that they did not know whether or not H.Res.799 were in Nadler's subcommittee (of the Judiciary) on Constitution, Civil Rights, & Civil Liberties. And when I said that H.Res.333 was from the beginning of May thru the day in November when Rep. Kucinich finally put it to the floor via a Privileged Resolution, the staffer in D.C. said she didn't know if I were correct or not. Indeed, http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HE00799:@@@X just says that H.Res.799 were referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on November 6, 2007.
Certainly, Nadler should be contacted heavily--as well as other members of the Judiciary Committee--but how do we know, David or anyone, that H.Res.799 is now in his subcommittee?
I hope, too, to hear back here (and elsewhere) what happened with the individuals' sit-in!
IMO the ONLY power we have (especially now, as the years of impeachment activism have resulted in naught) is to hit the economy via a comprehensive national strike and boycott! http://PledgeToImpeach.ORG
I live in Cong. Nadler's district. That being said I really feel that he is more talk than action, not only in this case but other issues as well. He talks the talk but then doesn't walk the walk. A paper tiger.
I have heard it said that impeachment will divide Americans. AMERICANS ARE ALREADY DIVIDED. One third of the nation now believes in "a broad smorgasbord of conspiracy theories" revolving around government complicity in everything from the 9/11 attacks to the Kennedy assassination . . . "Anger against the federal government is at record levels." (Scripps Howard News Service & Ohio University)
A dispassionate inquiry into whether our Constitution has been violated would unite our nation, not divide it. We would either fix what is broken, or know it is OK as it is. Please take that action.

Battle Robots!

Published: 2014-01-21, by Peter Warrior.
2D Fighting games haven't been successful at all on mobile devices mainly because of user interface issues. Battle Robots is indeed a 2D fighting game, but as it's mobile native, does its best to fix those problems reinventing the whole input system, casting aside the pad plus on-screen buttons and choosing for gestures plus only three buttons instead.
This system allows for high and low blows, both light and fierce, plus a step back and a guard option. Lastly, when your super attack meter is full, you can unleash your super attack (sorry, I wouldn't bore you with technicalities) and often win the round. Be warned, it is not an easy game, not even in the early stages.
Wins mean money and money means upgrades. There are tens and tens of weapons and items to choose among, and the items you purchase will be reflected on your character. Cartoon-like graphics are well designed and animations are quite acceptable, and in fact it's a pity that this game is about cardboard robots and hasn't had a much more realistic, Street Fighter (as realistic as SF can be, of course) approach.
Lastly, if we had to highlight a flaw, it's the lack of any kind of multiplayer mode. Anyway, it's fun and will get its nice share of fans because of the few competitors this game may have.

"By and large the faculty is behind it," says Carson. "Over 80 percent is contributing."
Carson got his start exploring online education at Emerson College. He created a fiction writing course, the first distance-learning course offered at Emerson. "I was out there in the wilderness doing my thing when I saw MIT announce their intention" to start OCW. As OCW grew, schools from around the world approached them, wanting to get involved. "We began to help them informally at first," says Carson, but it became such a big project it's now an organization of its own: the OpenCourseWare Consortium, a 501(c)3 nonprofit for which Carson serves as president, involves over 250 participating universities and materials from 15,000 courses.
Carson outlines the difference between MIT OCW and traditional distance-learning models. The education experience on campus involves "getting the content, getting the learning experience, and getting the certification." Distance learning, he explains, tries to take that whole package and re-create it online. "The problem is, you're never going to be able to re-create the classroom online. You can't quite get there." With open education, you "don't disrupt the package that's on campus, and you don't re-create it, either."
What MIT OCW offers is the content. The school is now pairing with the social learning network OpenStudy, which offers the interactivity, to create opportunities to engage with other learners. So when you're scratching your head over a single-variable calculus problem, you can connect with others taking the same course and puzzle through it together.
'Changing too fast'OCW and programs like it are not, however, going to upend traditional education systems on their own. Instead, OCW represents a segment of the ways people will be educated moving forward. What you're going to see more of is people creating educational collages — combinations of traditional academic scenarios (think lecture halls, seminars, professors, notebooks), work and travel experience (gap years, internships, co-op programs), and online options. Studying Greek tragedy isn't going to be enough to help in post-college life; right now, before institutions have caught up, it's the responsibility of the learner to tailor his or her education to best prepare for the shifting economical, technological, and employment landscape. "What we know," says Carson, "is that we've got to be firing on all cylinders." It's as true for institutions as it is for students.
Anya Kamenetz, author of DIY U: Edupunks, Edupreneurs, and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education, believes that these sorts of hybrids — combinations of OpenCourseWare, experiential, and classroom learning — embody the direction higher education should be going. She points to the failings of the current system. "The delivery hasn't changed with the available technology," she says. Or, as she writes in DIY U: "The world is changing too fast, and the need is growing too much, for institutions to keep up."
"You need to pick holes in the old systems to proceed," says Kamenetz. "You can't have schools resting on their laurels." She argues for learner-centric education, in which students are able to demonstrate their knowledge, so that people come out "not just with a diploma with a fancy name embossed on it, but with a portfolio of work."

The sad news was released this weekend that a 58 year old woman had been killed by a vehicle backing out of a driveway in the Goulds. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary were said to be considering charges.
Is it against the law to back your vehicle out of your driveway? The answer is, it depends.
What the Highway Traffic Act actually says is as follows:
151. A driver shall not back a vehicle unless the movement can be made with reasonable safety and without interfering with traffic.
So there is no absolute prohibition against backing a vehicle, and it is common experience that the vast majority of vehicle operators drive forward into driveways and back out of driveways. What is prohibited is (a) backing when it is not reasonably safe, and (b) backing when it interferes with traffic. We all see vehicles being backed without reasonable safety, and while interfering with traffic, all too often in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Our condolences go out to the family of the late Mary Drew, the lady whose life was so untimely lost. It may be small consolation in such tragic circumstances, but at least our anachronistic and badly dated laws of wrongful death were changed last year to mandate compensation to close family members for the intangible loss of companionship that they suffer when a loved one's life is taken by a wrongful death.

|Irish Coffee: It's not the Celtics bench's fault
|01.30.12 at 7:40 pm ET
After the Celtics blew an 11-point lead to the Cavaliers with a little more than five minutes left, Paul Pierce told reporters, "Maybe I should play a little bit more" in the fourth quarter. In so many words, the bench blew the game.
Not so. A lineup of E'Twaun Moore, Mickael Pietrus, Sasha Pavlovic, Brandon Bass and Kevin Garnett entered the final 12 minutes with an eight-point lead, and various combinations of four reserves and one starter played Cleveland even until Pierce re-entered the game with 3:42 remaining and the Celtics holding an 87-79 lead.
In fact, rarely has any of the 10 losses through the first third of the season fallen on the Celtics bench's shoulders. Just the opposite. With Garnett the lone starter to play all 19 games, an argument could rather easily be made that the C's reserves are the main reason the team hasn't started worse than 9-10.
"The first full month has been a tough month for us, but we are a team of workers," KG said last week. "Since I've been here, that's all we've done. We haven't really leaned on a lot of the talent, moreso the hard work."
While Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal have all nursed injuries through the first four weeks of the lockout-shortened season, the hodgepodge that includes a second-year guard, a pair of trade acquisitions, two free agent signings and three rookies has formed some semblance of a cohesive group.

|How and why Marquis Daniels returned to Celtics
|12.19.11 at 2:22 pm ET
Throughout his career, Marquis Daniels has been no stranger to pain. When he was 11 years old, the Celtics forward's older cousins branded his No. 4 on his arm. It hurt. A lot. And that was just the beginning.
From birth, whenever he did so much as put his head down and raise it back up, a stinger shot down his arm. The 30-year-old Daniels didn't realize his narrowed spinal canal caused the issue until reaching the NBA eight years ago. And he didn't know the severity of his medical condition until this past February, when he bumped into Magic guard Gilbert Arenas, dropped to the parquet floor and lay motionless for what seemed like an eternity.
"To be honest, I barely touched him," said Daniels. "The scariest part was just lying there and not being able to move for that time I was down on the floor. That was pretty scary. I could talk. I just couldn't move. I was like, 'This isn't happening. I gotta get up. I can't raise my kids like this.' Just to be here standing and walking and talking to you guys now just lets you know that it's more than just basketball, I don't take anything for granted now."
That's why this time around in Boston is different for Daniels. Not just because he's donning his third Celtics jersey number in as many seasons. For the first time in a long time, he can just play basketball — pain (and worry) free — like that 11-year-old kid who got the same number branded on his arm.
"It's a second chance at more than just basketball. I can say at life," said Daniels, who scored 11 points in both Friday's scrimmage and Sunday's preseason game. "It could have went either way. I could have been rolling in here instead of walking and talking to you guys, so I'm blessed to be where I'm at right now."
|Fast Break: Celtics hold on to beat Raptors
|12.18.11 at 3:32 pm ET
With only two preseason games and the start of the season just week away, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he would give his starters and his top rotation players significant time in their exhibition game against the Raptors and the coach was as good as his word.
Even without Paul Pierce (right heel) and Sasha Pavlovic (left wrist), Rivers used just 10 players in the first half and the Celtics coach didn't go deep into his bench until the fourth quarter. It wasn't a coincidence that the Celtics blew a 10-point lead in the final quarter, but held on for a 76-75 victory in Toronto.
Here's the good and the bad:
— Marquis Daniels started for Pierce and played well. He's one of the team's better post-up options and he remains a good cutter who helps facilitate the team's offense with his movement off the ball. With Jeff Green out for the season, Daniels has become an important reserve. He'll get most of the time behind Pierce and also play some off-guard for the Celtics as well. He came into camp in terrific shape and said that he's stronger than he was before undergoing surgery for a spinal condition.
— Rivers called center Jermaine O'Neal the MVP of the first week of camp and at times he was the best player on the floor for the Celtics. O'Neal said that he feels more comfortable offensively and understands where he needs to be to contribute. Defensively, his shot-blocking presence is invaluable for a team with a shortage of big men.
— Brandon Bass continues to impress with a diverse offensive game. He hit jumpers coming off down screens and in isolation and ran the floor with Rajon Rondo for a sweet dunk in transition. Bass is the best offensive weapon the Celtics have had coming off the bench in years.
— The Celtics were the worst offensive rebounding team in the league by a wide margin last season. That should change with Bass and Chris Wilcox on board. Both are energy players with athleticism and timing and they weren't afraid to crash the boards.
— E'Twuan Moore drained a couple of late jumpers, showing again why the team is so high on their second-round pick.
— The hope is that Pierce can return to practice this week, but until he returns the Celtics are dangerously thin at the small forward spot. The Celtics insist that there's noting to worry about with Pierce, but any time one of their core players misses this much time it's a concern.
— Without much depth at small forward, Rivers used a number of three-guard lineups with Keyon Dooling, Avery Bradley, Moore, Ray Allen and Rondo. They were successful in speeding up the tempo of the game, something that has been an emphasis throughout camp, but struggled to score without Allen or Rondo in the game.
Shot creation will be something to watch all season from the reserves. The Celtics struggled mightily in that regard last season and while Dooling, Bass and Wilcox are an offensive upgrade, none of them excels at creating his own offense.
— Rookie JaJuan Johnson did not see the court until the fourth quarter, an indication that he has work to do to see some playing time. Rivers has said that Johnson has been up and down throughout camp, which is to be expected for a rookie. The team loves his outside shot and athleticism. He'll get his chances during the season.
|Irish Coffee: The return of Marquis Daniels
|12.08.11 at 11:20 am ET
Just 10 months removed from suffering a season-ending spinal cord injury and nine months removed from being traded to the Kings for a 2017 second-round pick that freed up his roster spot, Marquis Daniels is close to rejoining the Celtics, according to a Boston Globe report.
Daniels' ability to backup Paul Pierce and Ray Allen — even spelling Rajon Rondo at the point in spots — was a safety net for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. The swingman's scary injury against the Magic cut short a second consecutive season in Boston and forced Danny Ainge to pull the trigger on a trade for Jeff Green.
Daniels averaged 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 100 games over two seasons in a Celtics uniform. He can officialy re-sign with the Celtics on Friday at 2 p.m.
I was going to discuss the latest Rajon Rondo for Chris Paul trade discussions, as reported by Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski, but colleague Paul Flannery's column from Thursday on the importance of timing in this matter still holds true.
Quickly, my two cents. The Boston Herald quoted a source in saying the Celtics' "window is just too short for him. He looks on them as having one year left to do something, and that's it."
That might be Paul's opinion, but it's far from the truth. If the C's made a deal for Paul, they would have just $18 million worth of Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley on their books. Even if Paul signed an extension in Boston (a financial windfall for him as opposed to entering unrestricted free agency), Ainge would have plenty of cap space to sign a Dwight Howard while offering Allen and Kevin Garnett more affordable deals to stay.
What I'm trying to say is this: The window wouldn't be closing if the Celtics acquired Paul, because he actually is the window. His presence alone would make Boston an attractive destination to free agents for years to come, not to mention the fact that Ainge isn't handcuffed by any bad contracts so the C's will have the money, too.
|Celtics' free agent options at backup small forward
|08.03.11 at 2:14 pm ET
A month into the NBA lockout, commissioner David Stern just declared war against the players, but can't we still examine which free agents should be available to the Celtics for the (fingers crossed) 2011-12 season once Stern and players association executive director Billy Hunter kiss and make up? We've profiled the C's biggest needs — at center and shooting guard — as well as another critical position (backup point guards), so we move to what coach Doc Rivers called a pressing concern during the 2010-11 season: Backup Small Forwards.
The Celtics began last season with starter Paul Pierce and only swingman Marquis Daniels to spare the nine-time All-Star from playing heavy minutes at the 3. Once Daniels went down in February with a season-ending spinal injury, president of basketball operations Danny Ainge was forced to make a deal for depth behind Pierce. Enter Jeff Green, who remains a restricted free agent after the Celtics extended a $5.91 million offer in June.
As we've noted before, the Celtics have six players under contract in 2011-12 for a combined $64.3 million (Kevin Garnett, $21.2 million; Paul Pierce, $15.33 million; Ray Allen, $10 million; Rajon Rondo, $10 million; Jermaine O'Neal, $6.23 million; Avery Bradley, $1.53 million) and should match any offer Green receives.
The Celtics would be wise to pick up another player capable of spelling Pierce to ensure they aren't handcuffed by the lack of depth at the position again, even if they re-sign Green. Obviously the C's won't be dedicating much more money beyond those two to small forwards, but they need to find as many inexpensive versatile options (2-3 or 3-4 guys) as possible to eat up minutes for their three aging stars.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the options that should be available to the Celtics at backup small forward (barring overseas exports), separating the current free agent players into four categories '¦ Read the rest of this entry »
|Delonte West gets closer to return
|02.11.11 at 2:27 pm ET
Delonte West wanted to play Thursday night against the Lakers. He went to the Celtics medical staff and argued his case. They debated the issue and that debate is what caused Doc Rivers to say, no. Not yet.
"I said if we have to go back and forth on it, then the answer is no," Rivers said. "So, he's going to practice Saturday. I would actually like him to play in the New Jersey game [next Wednesday] just to get him one game [before the All-Star break]."
Rivers left the door open for West to come back against Miami on Sunday. It will largely depend on how West does at practice, who went through his first full-contact work this week.
The Celtics may need him. Nate Robinson left the Lakers game at the 8:45 mark of the second quarter with a bruised knee and didn't return. Without Robinson the Celtics bench was reduced to Glen Davis and Von Wafer. Rookie Avery Bradley played less than two minutes to finish out the third quarter because of foul trouble and fellow rookie Luke Harangody was a DNP-coaches decision.
The Celtics have been waiting for West for most of the season. He missed the first 10 games with a suspension and then broke his wrist just five games into his return. His return will help their backcourt depth, which has been depleted with the loss of Marquis Daniels.
|Celtics prepare for life without Marquis Daniels
|02.09.11 at 4:22 pm ET
This was always Doc Rivers' biggest concern. What if something happens to Paul Pierce or Marquis Daniels?
"It puts us in a terrible spot," Rivers said after practice Wednesday. "Going into the year, that was the area of concern because we knew we were one injury away from being very thin and unfortunately it happened."
The Celtics simply don't know how long Daniels will be out after he suffered a bruised spinal cord during Sunday's game with the Magic. Team president Danny Ainge said they would hopefully know more next week after Daniels consults with various doctors and is offered an array of medical opinions.
"The Marquis situation is still a little bit up in the air," Ainge said. "We'll probably know more in a week or so what's going on there, what's going on in Marquis' mind, get some different opinion from doctors. That is complicated and the fact that we don't have Delonte [West] healthy, that complicates the matter as well. We're thin now. If we had Delonte and Von [Wafer] we'd be fine."
Ainge expressed confidence in Wafer's ability to handle the backup small forward role, but Rivers was a little more skeptical.
"He's not big enough to be that guy," Rivers said. "We're going to have to do something. We worked on it today and I've been here seven years and you've seen me trap probably 10 times. We're going to have to start trapping, which weakens your defense. I hate it. But we worked on it today and we're going to work on it every day until we get another [small forward]."
There are still a few ways for Rivers to get creative with his lineups. "It depends on who we have, and what we can get away with honestly," Rivers said.
He can play a small lineup with Ray Allen in the spot alongside Rajon Rondo and either Wafer or Nate Robinson. He might consider going the other way and using Glen Davis in the spot. Of particular concern is Sunday's game with the Heat and a certain someone named LeBron James.
"When Paul goes out, somebody's going to have to guard LeBron," Rivers said. "We don't have that someone."

Jane Jacobs Overkill
"Her views have now been broadly adopted and it is conventional wisdom in planning circles that participatory neighborhood planning is best, that preservation of old buildings is essential, and that in cities the car is bad. But Jacobs had a tendency toward sweeping conclusions based on anecdotal information, and some of them were overblown and/or oblivious to the facts. Perhaps most graphically, Jacobs predicted that the grand arts center planned for the Upper West Side of Manhattan would fail. But Lincoln Center turned out to be a great success-igniting the revitalization of the entire neighborhood.
More revealingly, the Greenwich Village she held out as a model for city life has become some of the highest-priced real estate in New York City-it's no longer the diverse, yeasty enclave she treasured. Ultimately, many of the policies she advocated blocked real-estate development-causing prices of existing housing stock to rise and pricing out all but the wealthiest residents."
Manshel suggests that more attention be given to the ideas of William H. Whyte.

It only took about two batches of homemade pickles before I had my family sold on lactofermentation.
Since then we have been on a quest to find the best fermenting techniques and recipes to try. We've made fermented salsa, eggs, banana peppers, radish, garlic, and recently kimchi.
I was very excited when Primal Kitchen agreed to be a sponsor for our Summer giveaway event. I had just ordered a 3-pack of Kraut Kaps to try for myself and couldn't wait to review them.
Primal Kitchen is a sponsor for our June Giveaway Splash and is providing a free product to give away. This review and the opinions within are entirely my own.
Kraut Kaps make fermentation easy
All you need to make healthy, probiotic treats for your family is some good salt, filtered water, veggies, and a good environment. That last one can be tricky. We've mainly used canning jars in the past and just screwed the lid on tightly.
Our ferments had a tendency to "go wild", making our veggies mushy or being slow for days and then suddenly be bubbling over.
A Kraut Kap helps keep your ferments safe and consistent. The airlock lid keeps oxygen out, which in turn prevents molds and yeasts from making a party in your jar.
The Kaps consist of a plastic lid with a rubber "stopper" and an airlock system that attaches to the top. You simply fill your jar with what you want to ferment, screw the lid on tight, and place the airlock into the stopper. Then you add water to your airlock tube up to the fill line. That's it!
What I like about Kraut Kaps
Both my husband and I agree that our ferments with the Kraut Kaps are much better than without. They ferment at a steady rate and our veggies keep their crispness better.
The Kraut Kap also helps keep the taste of our ferments the same. With regular canning jar lids we would sometimes get a very bitter flavor. I'm not sure why, but I always thought it might have something to do with the metal lids.
We also like that Kraut Kaps are:
- Economical – they are $8.99 each
- BPA free – all materials are food grade and easy to clean
- Easy to use – instructions are included and very easy to follow
- Versatile – Kraut Kaps fit on any wide mouth jar!
The one thing I don't like about the Kraut Kap lids is that the rubber stopper tends to retain the smell of your ferment even after it has been washed. This is minor though because all our ferments smell about the same.
Recipe and giveaway!
The Primal Kitchen blog has plenty of great recipes to try out with your Kraut Kaps, but I thought I would share my kosher pickle recipe since that is what we ferment the most.
Tips for better fermentation:
To keep your veggies under the brine, use a cabbage or leek leaf in the top of your jar.
For even crisper pickles, add a grape leaf. If you can't find grape leaves, a black or green tea bag added to your jar can help.
1 glass quart canning jar
1 Kraut Kap
2-3 thin cucumbers (English or any other firm, thin cucumber will work)
1-2 tsp minced garlic (about 1 clove)
1 tsp dill
2 tsp sea salt (use a good, bulk sea salt for best results)
filtered water
Wash your cucumbers well. Slice in half lengthwise and then slice into spears.
Put garlic and dill at the bottom of your jar.
Pack cucumber spears tightly into jar. If you have leftover cucumber, you can cut it into small pieces and pack it on top. Leave 1/2 inch of head space at the top of the jar.
Mix 2 cups of water with the sea salt and slowly pour to into jar, covering the cucumbers, still leaving 1/2 inch of head space.
Screw your Kraut Kap on tightly. Follow the instructions to add water to the airlock.
Place in a dark cupboard for 2-4 days or until bubbling nicely. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 months.
You can buy Kraut Kaps directly from Amazon. Make sure to connect with Primal Kitchen on Facebook too!

Pitt Game Notes (pdf) | Game Day Central | Live Stats | Louisville Basketball |
GAME 28: PITT (15-13, 4-11 Big East) at #17 LOUISVILLE (21-7, 9-6 Big East)
Sunday, February 26, 2012 2 p.m. ET
KFC Yum! Center (22,000) Louisville, Ky.
Television: CBS (Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery; Producer: Mark Wolff).
Pitt Radio: Pitt IMG College Sports Radio Network (Bill Hillgrove and Dick Groat). 93.7 The Fan, 93.7 FM; Satellite Radio: Sirius-91 (UL feed); XM-91 (UL feed).
National Radio: Westwood One Radio (Kevin Kugler and Steve Lappas).
Internet Radio Broadcast/Live Stats: www.pittsburghpanthers.com.
Coaches: Pitt: Jamie Dixon, 13th year at Pitt, 9th year as head coach (231-73); Rick Pitino: 11th year at UL (266-103), 27th year overall (620-231).
Rankings: Pitt: AP-NR; ESPN-NR; Louisville: AP-17; ESPN-17.
Series: Pitt and Louisville meet for the 12th time since the series began on Dec. 20, 1947. UL holds a 6-5 advantage in the series. Pitt and Louisville play for the second time this year as the Cardinals claimed a 73-62 win over the Panthers on Jan. 21 at the Petersen Events Center. Pitt makes its second visit to the KFC Yum! Center and is 1-3 all-time in matchups played in Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--Following a weeklong break in its schedule, Pitt travels to No. 17 Louisville (21-7, 9-6 Big East) for a contest on Sunday, Feb. 26 at the KFC Yum! Center. Tipoff is at 2 p.m. ET.
The game will be nationally televised on CBS with Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery calling action. Mark Wolff (producer) and Suzanne Smith (director) will handle production.
Three Big East regular season games remain on Pitt's schedule: at Louisville (Feb. 26), St. John's (Feb. 29) and at Connecticut (March 3) before Big East Championship play begins on Tuesday, March 6. Pitt is most likely to enter the Big East Tournament as a No. 11, No. 12, No. 13 or No. 14 seed.
Pitt enters the Sunday road matchup after dropping four straight games following four consecutive wins upon the return of point guard Tray Woodall. USF defeated Pitt 56-47 on Sunday, Feb. 19 at the Petersen Events Center. USF scored the first eight points of the second half to take a 36-27 lead. Sophomore J.J. Moore came off the bench to lead Pitt with a career-high 21 points on 8-14 shooting. Nasir Robinson added nine points and 11 rebounds and freshman John Johnson finished with eight points off the bench. Pitt's bench scored 68 percent (32 of its 47) of its points in the game.
This season, Pitt has had a variety of players play through and sidelined with injuries including Woodall who sat out 11 of 12 games with a groin/abdominal strain, Dante Taylor (concussion), Ashton Gibbs (ankle), Cameron Wright (finger), Nasir Robinson (knee surgery before the season). Because of the injuries, 11 different Pitt players have started and the Panthers have used seven different starting lineup combinations.
Pitt's senior class of Ashton Gibbs and Nasir Robinson needs one more victory to become the eighth class to win 100 or more games in a four-year career.
Pitt has won 25 of its last 39 road games and owns the Big East's best road record (53-38) over the last 11 seasons. Pitt is 3-6 on the road this year.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I don't like to call them business men because they are not. They pretend to be business men and all they are trying to do is sell you worthless stock. There are many tools in their arsenal.
They contact prospects using cold calling via call list they purchase. Once they have your information they pitch the company as an investment. Most of the schemes are just pump and dump schemes, but they will also do private placement selling of company stock they simply create.
They create companies for the purpose of raising investment capital, the money they collect from investors is used by them to pay for expensive travel and cars. They will simply take the money out of the accounts and tell the investors the company simply ran out of funds.
They will tell the prospective investors anything they believe will get them to invest. They have been doing this now for years and there are literally dozens of victims all across the country. They use the money from these scams to support their drug abuse, gambling habits and expense taste.
Victims rarely come forward because they keep the victims dependent on their promise to repay so the investor believes it serves their interests to keep them out of trouble. The investors rarely ever get repaid. Finally the investors simply give up in frustration. Meanwhile they have moved on to the next scam.
Now, in reading this you may not believe it is all true. That's fine but keep this in mind. If they are not running scams or frauds, you will have to believe then that they are either the most incompetent business people on the planet or they have the worst luck with other peoples money. In any case they always manage to come out fincially better, so you do the math.

An American expatriate's view on America, from England
This week, after seven years living abroad in the U.K., I've finally decided to embrace the inevitable and apply for U.K. best term life insurance companies citizenship. I've been eligible for four years now, but it's bizarrely expensive to apply, so I put it off and put it off…but I'm tired of living in limbo (that could be the mantra of any expatriate, I think) so I'm going for it.
Marvel that is Ms. "Vel" Mensah
Vel Mensah is not your garden-variety CEO. Besides her few close but loyal friends, a Toshiba 2004 laptop falls close second in importance to her, but don't be fooled by her choice of humble vintage status para whatsapp electronics. This lady is a boss. At 22, she is a feisty businesswoman acting as Co-CEO of LUXE Concierge & Consulting. Mensah is on the rise to becoming a top dog in the international luxury Abayas service market.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by bkight13, Jan 25, 2013.
Lol. I bet if you lived in California, you would see enough of them in the media.
Yet New England only has five.....hmn....
With New England, that don't mean anything. By the time the draft is over, they could have 14 as well. New England is also very, very good at working the draft historically.
Usually stockpiling picks for the next year. And then they don't even draft that well with all the extra choices they get.
I see them changing their stripes as they're getting to the point where they can see the end of Brady's run.
But, my real point was that 'Real GMs' are all over the map on number of picks they may have this draft.
