Featured video and audio clips on Oscar Robertson brought to you by Boston's WEEI Sports Radio.
The Preacher and the Teacher are in studio and the conversation is an interesting one. Now that the Celtics are out of the play-offs, which poison do you now pick, Golden State or Cleveland? The conversation moves to the Celtics teams of the 80's and how they compare to the Celtics of 2017.
Scott Cordischi and Jason Taravella take a look at the week's hot topics ICYMI. It's time to "lawyer-up" with the soundtrack of our past, led by the late, great John Warren "J" Geils.

2007 Draft, Re-Focused: Steals and such
2007 Draft, Re-Focused: Steals and such
We've already looked at the first round and broken down rounds two and three, so to complete our look at the 2007 draft class we're turning our eye towards the late round and undrafted free agent rookies.
We've broken the analysis down into four parts to help identify the degree of success.
Up first is the self-explanatory Best Value Pick. Followed by this we're looking at the guys who have succeeded and continue to do so with our Current Success Stories. After that we're looking at guys who have had a good impact even if it hasn't been overly flashy with our Contributing section. Lastly we look at the guys who have landed starting roles but are having a hard time with it in the Starting But Struggling section.
It's important to remember we're only looking at the impact a player is having on the team that drafted them.
Round 4
Best Value Pick
The Ravens struck fullback gold with Le'Ron McClain. Our third ranked full back n 2009, McClain has made a contribution as a lead blocker and runner.
Current Success Stories
Cowboys starting left tackle Doug Free has done okay protecting his quarterback's blindside after a useful 2008 at right tackle (though he gave up his first two sacks of the year against the Jags) … Though he struggles in coverage, Clint Session has graded above average the past two years and is a serviceable starter for the Colts who has proven a useful (if underused) blitzer at times.
Jacksonville punter Adam Podlesh hasn't blown anyone away but hasn't been terrible … We probably haven't seen the best of Michael Bush yet but he looks like a good backup … We loved the impact of Brian Robison (27 total pressures) last year, but he's struggling to get on the field this year in Minnesota. … We like the play of the Falcons' Stephen Nicholas who did well when he got the chance to start last year, and is a solid replacement seeing time at the moment … Nose tackle Paul Soliai has done a good job of eating up blocks though we'd like more consistency.
Starting but struggling
Titans guard Leroy Harris has got his chance to start this year and is our lowest-ranked left guard in the league … Jermon Bushrod is our worst rated tackle in the entire league, a year after finishing with the 9th lowest grade … For a free safety we really don't like the coverage skills of Dashon Goldson. He finished with our lowest ranking for a safety in coverage last year.
Round 5
Best Value Pick
We like our tight ends who can block and catch, so while he may not be the best pass catcher from this draft Kevin Boss has been an invaluable asset for the Giants. Continues to be one of the most well-rounded TE's in the league a year after finishing as third overall in our rankings.
Current Success Stories
So he's not the blocker Boss is, but Brent Celek has added another dimension to the Eagles passing attack. Would like to see him play a bit better this year, though, with too many dropped passes … After finding his way into the starting lineup at the beginning of last year, Uche Nwaneri has solidified his status (even if he hasn't quite earned his big contract yet).
Weird as it is, thrust into the role of full-time starter Steve Breaston got off a terrible start to the season before getting injured. Is he getting found out? Doesn't negate a good start to his career as the third receiver.
Starting But Struggling
Regardless of what anybody says, the Chargers have missed Vincent Jackson. Legedu Naanee just hasn't been up to scratch when he's started … After finishing in the bottom four of our coverage rankings in 2009, William Gay looks better when he's not on the field as much this year.
Round 6
Best Value Pick
If Desmond Bishop stays in the starting lineup with Green Bay and can play at anywhere near the level he is now then this is one of the best picks of the draft. In limited action he's made so many plays he's jumped to 6th in our overall rankings for linebackers this year.
Current Success Stories
Jacob Ford found a home in the rotating Titans defensive line . He has 84 total quarterback pressures since the start of 2008.
A bit inconsistent at times, Mason Crosby has worked on his kickoffs and become someone who can be relied on for the most part in Green Bay … Still in Green Bay (what a round they had), full back Korey Hall is having his best year lead blocking so far.
Starting But Struggling
We saw Kasey Studdard a lot last year, and him being replaced by Wade Smith has been one of the reasons for the Texans improved run game.
Round 7
Best Value Pick
How good has Ahmad Bradshaw been this year? Has gradually earned more playing time while becoming the bonafide starter for the Giants. Currently our third ranked rusher for the year and a big asset in the passing game, Bradshaw is one of the league's best.
Current Success Stories
Sticking with the running back theme, Jason Snelling got his chance at the end of last year (9th ranked overall) and has proved a guy who can carry the load and spell Michael Turner … If you're going to get a punter, get a good one. The Dolphins got a good one in Brandon Fields … Bengals safety Nedu Nduwke may only start when there are injuries, but the oft-blitzing safety has come along since the back end of last year and probably warrants a starting spot outright given his play.
Cardinals tight end Ben Patrick hasn't ever emerged as a big play threat, but he's been more than serviceable … While Dallas safety Alan Ball was terrible against Jacksonville (to be frank) he's been low on mistakes in his first season as a full time starter … We want to see more of Brandon Siler. He got his chance last year and excelled in every area, finishing 6th in our inside linebacker rankings … It would be nice to see Marvin Mitchell see a bit more playing time. He's doing well right now in three defensive back formations and in the nickel.
Starting But Struggling
With injuries and suspensions, more has been asked of Zac Diles and he's responded by being the most targeted linebacker in the league. Worse still he's given up 91.8% of throws and is by some distance our worst coverage linebacker … Keyunta Dawson has replaced Raheem Brock as the hybrid defensive end/ tackle who contributes very, very little.
Undrafted Free Agents
Best Value Pick Up
What a great find Pierre Thomas has proved to be. The only problem has been getting him on the field enough, but when he's on it he adds a whole other dimension to the Saints offense. He'll be remembered for his Super Bowl performance for a long time.
Current Success Stories
Mike Devito stepped up into the void left by Kris Jenkins the past season-and-a-half and become of the most underrated defensive linemen in the league. Has added a touch more pass rush this year, but it's his work when teams run at the Jets that should get people standing up to take notice of his talents … It's not hard to be the Cardinals' best offensive lineman, but Lyle Sendelein has been average on a way below average unit. He's the success story of that line, such as it is.
He's proving a serviceable starter this year after struggling in coverage last year, but Melvin Bullitt isn't a replacement for Bob Sanders by any stretch … Akeem Jordan has always done well as part of the Eagles linebacking group, but hasn't been able to keep a grip on his starting spot.
Starting But Struggling
It's amazing to think Washington's Stephon Heyer was so highly regarded after his rookie year. Since then he's lost his starting spot at various times and gave up 51 pressures in 2009.

24 hour UK whisky tasting record attempt
An ambitious attempt to set a new world record just fell short as eight whisky tastings from Inverness to Brighton were held in one day.
Starting in Inverness just after midnight the group travelled to host eight different whisky tastings in eight whisky shops across eight cities between Inverness and Brighton, 643 miles away.
Guinness authorities were unable to attend the record attempt to verify it but responded three days afterwards to confirm that it would have been a new world record – had they turned up.
The core group which included John Glaser from Compass Box, Andrew Torrance and David Whyte from the Whisky Shop and whisky writer Dominic Roskrow, held eight tastings for more than 130 people in eight Whisky Shops in one long day.
"I heard someone talking about the world's biggest whisky tasting and I felt that it was a record that should be held by Scotland but it wasn't. I got to thinking and had the idea that if we couldn't do the biggest we should do the most, so that's how it developed," Torrance said.
Each tasting had a different theme, but was based around three core Compass Box whiskies – the Great King Street blend, the Peat Monster and The Spice Tree.
Travelling by car, the team reached their destination in Brighton at 11.30pm, 30 minutes within their 24 hour deadline.
Here is a picture gallery of the 24 hour UK whisky tasting tour.

FDA Okays Arymo ER for Chronic Pain »
"The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an extended-release (ER) morphine sulfate C-II (Arymo ER, Egalet Corp) for the management of pain severe enough to require round-the-clock, long-term opioid management for which alte"...
Contains sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible people. The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.
Drug Dependence
Oxycodone can produce drug dependence of the morphine type and, therefore, has the potential for being abused. Psychic dependence, physical dependence and tolerance may develop upon repeated administration of TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules), and it should be prescribed and administered with the same degree of caution appropriate to the use of other oral narcotic-containing medications. Like other narcotic-containing medications, TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) is subject to the Federal Control Substances Act (Schedule II).
Head Injury and Increased Intracranial Pressure: The respiratory depressant effects of narcotics and their capacity to elevate cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be markedly exaggerated in the presence of head injury, other intracranial lesions or a pre-existing increase in intracranial pressure. Furthermore, narcotics produce adverse reactions which may obscure the clinical course of patients with head injuries.
Acute Abdominal Conditions: The administration of TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) or other narcotics may obscure the diagnosis or clinical course in patients with acute abdominal conditions.
Special Risk Patients: TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) should be given with caution to certain patients such as the elderly or debilitated, and those with severe impairment of hepatic or renal function, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, and prostatic hypertrophy or urethral stricture.
Usage in Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproductive studies have not been conducted with TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) . It is also not known whether TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) should not be given to a pregnant woman unless in the judgment of the physician, the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards.
Nonteratogenic Effects: Use of narcotics during pregnancy may produce physical dependence in the neonate.
Labor and Delivery
As with all narcotics, administration of TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) to the mother shortly before delivery may result in some degree of respiratory depression in the newborn and the mother, especially if higher doses are used.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether the components of TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when TYLOX (oxycodone and acetaminophen capsules) is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Comments 40
David Jensen
I've bearish on real estate in a lot of parts of the country, but it should be pretty obvious now that Alberta is its own economy, with unemployment below 5%, and the average house very affordable for the average income.
Yes, low interest rates help, but low interest rates aren't going up anytime soon, especially as the real estate meltdown in BC and Toronto picks up speed.
Plus, in a city like Edmonton, Buying is MUCH cheaper than renting…I think Alberta real estate, and Edmonton in particular, will decouple strongly from the trend in other parts of the country.
Location, location, location.
Inspector Gadget
The new builds should really keep resale prices in check. The builders can do it cheap or cheaper than a few years ago and still make money.
I also personally know six people holding real estate they want to get rid of because they feel their house is worth more than the offers they are getting. Lots of shadow inventory in this city.
No housing crash, no boom, same old same old as far add the eye can see. If interest rates rise a couple percent all bets are off.
A commong guy
You are wrong. Try to get some quotes from trades and you'll see the numbers have gone up. I have a family friend who is private builder and he tells me the numbers. Framers are charging 9-10/sqf whereas you could frame 7/sqf a couple of years ago. Same with other numbers.
The avg prices are now about 4% higher than last year this time. I won't be surprised if we have a y/y gain of 10+%.
BTW, today is March 9, 2012, Sara
Inspector Gadget
Not talking labor costs directly but being able to make money big picture. The big builders can lower their gross margin to move units.
Are overall costs lower or higher than during the boom? That is the number I am interested in. Many who bought at the peak are just finishing their five year terms. Time for them to weigh bailing versus renewing.
I should have been more clear I guess on the time frame. Is cost to buy land and build at record levels? Honest question.
Do housing starts include redevelopment, or only new development?
I ask because while new developments increase the quantity of housing supply, redevelopments should improve quantity and quality.
When the cost of the average home goes up it is good for the seller, and bad for the buyer, but when the quality of the average home goes up, thats good news for everyone.
Its too bad there's no easy way to chart quality. (Square footage? Proximity to downtown? net density?)
Aside, I don't think its correct to say that it is much cheaper to buy than to rent. In some cases it might be true, but not by a huge margin, and not for all people.
"Plus, in a city like Edmonton, Buying is MUCH cheaper than renting…"
Ha! You kidding! My wife and I are renting a condo for a fraction of the cost of owning it! When we moved here we were looking at buying in the same building. When we were done factoring in property tax and condo fees, it was a no brainer.
Don't get me wrong, owning your own home can be great (owned a place out east), but would never buy a condo in this city. The ceiling in our spare bedroom has water damage from the crappy pipes they used in this place! What a joke!
So going back to the phase chart you posted last year, would you say we are in Phase 1. Sales are up year over year as of February 2012 and average prices are up from March of last year.
Banks are starting another mortgage war. I would have to think that anyone looking to buy and have some stability, a 3.99% ten year mortgage would look very attractive. Of course they have some stipulations around that mortgage so would probably only work for people buying a home and planning to stay in it for that many years. However, there is always the 2.99%, five year mortgage which is also very attractive.
Inspector Gadget
We have to remember that variable mortgages have been available with much lower rates than these for years. All the while prices have been down or stagnant.
With money being close to free, all the in migration and nothing but sunshine on the Edmonton economic front (at least according to much of the media) you would think the market would be on fire this spring.
Somehow I don't think it will be….
Inspector, I suggest you seek out some people who are currently looking to buy. You'll find they are getting frustrated because houses are selling very fast right now.
I'm seeing this especially in Calgary right now. Edmonton is not far behind.
Inspector Gadget
The sales and price statistics will tell the story for me, not anecdotes.
Well if the sales and price statistics will tell you the story then a seven week 24000.00 price increase for homes running average should give you an idea.
Inspector Gadget
Ya Tonto, but dont get out the pom poms yet. Let's see if it is not just seasonal and sustained.
Hope the median is following.
Great website here. I currently own 17 properties and a real estate investor.
All my propertied are rented, except for 2 under construction.
This month I had one property go vacant, I showed it to about 8 poeple and everyone was deciding whether to buy or rent.
I had several people offer to purchase. I was tempted, but in the end rented out to a nice professional couple. They had given up on their search.
This is just one story, but I feel strongly on that good properties are limited, inventory is ACTUALLY much smaller than posted. People told me repeatedly how very few good properties are for sale. I would say 50% of the homes listed are either in very poor condition or unrealistic sellers testing the market.
Take a look at the listings on MLS, its quite pathetic how many bad properties that are available. People are picky and rightfully so at these prices.
Oh I also had 2 agents approach me asking if I was interested in listing because they had people interested in units in my building. There are none for sale.
17prop , can you give us an example of what you consider a good property at the right price?
Hi bubu,
I firmly believe that you should buy base on fundamentals, not emotions.
If you like a house, make sure to ask yourself this: "what would it rent for?"
If the mortgage payments PLUS carrying costs including tax, condo fees AND your interest lost on your deposit is less than what the market rent is, its probably a good buy at that time.
Do the math and you'll find that no detached home in Vancouver comes close to this. In Edmonton there are still opportunities. I'll do a search of some examples and post what I think is reasonable.
Went to look at a few places this weekend and 2 out of 3 in one area were rented out already and they weren't interested in showing it any more. Makes it kinda frustrating that their listed in the MLS for sale but not selling now, makes me wonder how many places are listed like that.
I guess that is a good question, questions for Sara and Sheldon. If a property is sold, or they are no longer interested in selling it so refusing to show it but it is still on MLS, are there any rules around how long a property can be on MLS after it is sold, or if listed on MLS and not allowing it to be shown, how long it can remain on there.
I know of a few properties in my area that have sold signs on them for at least a week and are still on MLS. Let's not forget about all the pending units as well, that are still on there. Not a huge number, but if it happens in enough areas, it really skus the available inventory.
More RE agent tricks, I imagine. Anything to get another client.
I saw one agent just last week in Calgary changed his listing to PRICE REDUCED!!!
I knew what it was selling for before the change. It turns out he reduced the price by $100. Just trying to get his listing noticed I guess.
Inspector Gadget
I had an agent put a flyer in my mailbox claiming he had clients frustrated and ready to buy in our area just last year.
Sensing a rat I called him up and invited him to come have a look. He came over…..needless to say the clients were fictional. Even looked down and to the left while saying they had just bought in a nearby area but he would love to list our house for us.
If it smells like rat….
If the clients were so desparate to buy in your area, why didn't they knock on your door themselves and save the commission?
If things are heating up how close are we to the prak pricing in March:april of 2007? Would you say we are within 10 percent
I can't speak for the buyers, but we have a few rental properites. We were currently looking for tenants in a new construction 3 bed/2.5 bath double garage townhouse and we have been overwhelmed by interest. We stopped showing it to individuals and had an open house, because there was so much interest. We had people sending us completed applications without seeing the property.
6 months ago we only showed it 3 times and only had 1 couple fill out an application for an identical property, same location, same rent.
Inspector Gadget
YEG would you mind sharing the value of the property and the rental income? That is super valuable information….
Yes, The property value is currently around 277,000 and we've been renting it for $1500.00 (No Utilities included) – New Community in SE Edmonton.
My properties are city assessed at 345,000.00. They have up and down suites. They rent for 2000.00 or a little more in some cases.
Inspector Gadget
Is that with 25% down and a mortgage?
Thanks for sharing
The townhouse was purchase with 20% down and a mortgage, we recieved a decend purchase price because we were one of the first to buy in a new project, so prices have increase a fair bit in a short time (Aprox. $15,000 in 6 months). Most builders discount the first units and steadily increase prices as the project draws closer to completion.
Based on my calc, at $277,000 that's borderline carrying. You should be looking at $1700, so your renters are getting a good deal at $1500, which is why you're getting such great response.
You did manage to to gain $15K, which I think is very reasonable for a new construction 3 bed/2.5 bath double garage townhouse. Congrats. In this case, both the renter and investor wins.
Toronto is getting crazier then Van now, issue is the money is coming in from out of country as well, guess as long as the wealthy want to keep coming to Canada they will keep spending the big bucks.
Check this out, bungalow sold 421K over asking price!

This may be my favorite Jewish book of all time. It's a collection of first person accounts of people's encounters with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. You'll literally laugh, cry, be inspired beyond belief and want to be a better person.
From the very first Kabbalistic work, through the Talmud, through an impressive array of rabbinic literature, great minds have found the Aleph-Beis to be a gold mine of wisdom and guidance. This fascinating best-seller weaves these golden threads into a glorious tapestry, presenting hundreds of ideas and comments on the Aleph-Beis, including: the Aleph-Beis as the force of Creation, as a primer for Jewish living, and as a fountainhead of Torah insight and mystical meaning. The product of decades of learning, thinking, and teaching by the revered educator, lecturer, and community activist Rabbi Michael L. Munk. A treat not to be missed.

The Gold Team, quarterbacked by starter Ricky Dobbs and featuring members of the first team offense, ultimately defeated the Blue Team and its second team offensive unit, but the real story of the evening was the two defensive units. The first team defense of the Blue Team was able to hold the first team offense out of the endzone for the entire first half, only surrendering two field goals to starting kicker John Teague before the third quarter. Teague finished the game 2-3 on field goal attempts, connecting on kicks of 42 and 22 yards, while missing from 31-yards out. Senior-to-be outside linebacker Craig Schaefer continued his impressive spring campaign, leading the first team defense with eight stops (1 tfl), while defensive lineman Nate Frazier and Jordan Stephens added five tackles each. The Gold Team (second team) defense also looked impressive, with linebackers Caleb King, Max Blue, and Jerry Hauburger all standing out in the first half against quarterbacks Mike Stukel, Greg Zingler, and the rest of the second team offense. King finished the day with five tackles, including one tackle for a loss in which the sophomore-to-be linebacker made a great play by shooting the 'A' gap, while Hauburger made several disruptive plays to chase the option down from the backside. Junior defensive end Lee Calloway also made several nice plays in the latter minutes of the scrimmage, and finished the night with three sacks and a forced fumbled which saw him deliver a punishing hit on Mike Stukel.
The Gold team ultimately scored two touchdowns to widen the score, but both came with members of the third and fourth team offense playing under "running clock" conditions in the second half. Backup quarterback Kriss Proctor scored on a one yard touchdown dive, while reserve slotback Chris Hill also rushed in for a touchdown late in the game. Among the other Gold team offensive standouts were fullback Alex Teich (4 carries, 21 yards) and slotback Bobby Doyle (43 yards on 3 carries.) The Blue team saw several fine individual performances on offense, with quarterback Michael Stukel showing off several athletic runs en route to 42 yards on the ground overall. Gold team fullback Vince Murray combined for 37 yards on the ground and through the air.
While the performances of the first and second team defenses defined the scrimmage, the most important outcome of the game was the welcomed absence of any serious injuries during the contest. Navy fans weren't without a scare however, as junior quarterback Rocky Dobbs suffered a minor left ankle sprain on the Gold team's second possession. Dobbs, who was only scheduled to play during the first two possessions for the Gold Team offense as it was, seemed fine after the scrimmage, with head coach Ken Niumatalolo confirming his status.
"Our number one goal tonight was no major injuries and we got that accomplished," said Niumatalolo, who admitted that "his heart sank" when Dobbs limped off the field in the first quarter. "Fortunately [Ricky's injury] was a mild sprained ankle. He could have gone back in if it was a real game."
Dobbs confirmed his head coach's comments, even joking that he would still be able to dance in Saturday night's International Ball. Also among the highlights of Friday night's Spring Game was the naming of team captains for the 2009 season, as well as the awarding of The Admiral Mack Award to junior linebacker Tyler Simmons. Senior linebacker Ross Pospisil and senior guard Osei Asante were named captains for the upcoming year, while Simmons becomes the second consecutive Navy linebacker to win the award given annually to Navy's most improved player in the spring. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo said naming Simmons as the team's most improved player during the spring was a no-brainer, even joking that Simmons' play over the course of the spring had been so impressive that the coach's wife could have picked him out for the award.
Check back later this weekend for more in-depth coverage from Friday night's Blue and Gold Game, including expert analysis, photos, and video.

First I'm very excited to see a Giant Playoff game. I will not be there but I notice our 1:00 games we haven't played our best.
Tom Coughlin thanked the 12th man this week for really showing support.
When we have night games I notice the fans are younger, drunker, and louder then fans who attend games at 1:00 who are usually older, have had season tickets since the beginning of time and usually are quieter, more reserved and sit back like its an opera.
Will the 12th man be at home watching the game rather than in the cold barren stadium?
Will this have an impact this weekend?

Is Humidifier neccessary for a brand new house
I have just purchased a brand new house form the builder. The square footage is 3700 sq feet. The house has hardwood floors through out. My question is that do I really need a humidifier yet? The builder tells me that it is very important as it is a must for a house with hardwood floors but my local contractor says that a brand new house takes about 3 years to dry out so I am good for next 2-3 years and do not really need a humidifier yet.
Also he days the A/C will play the role of a de-humidifier and I do not have to worry about buying a de-humidifier either...
Can you please advise?
Where do you live. In most homes you do not need one for 1 yr not 3 yrs unless you live in a dry climate.
Like Yuri said, depends where you live. If you live in the dryer climes then you need one sooner if the house falls below the recommended humidity level to maintain wood floors and the like.
As i recall 40% RH is recommended.
I peaked. He's from Ontario, Toronto I believe. Too warm of an area for you Yuri.
swander, lets say your HVAC contractor is right. So what does he want you to do. Wait 3 years and then pay him to install a humidifier when the price is higher? And maybe even also pay a higher price for a whole house dehumidifier?
What if he wrong. Is he going to pay to repair your hard wood floors if they are damaged?
The real question shouldn't be do you need then now. But will you need them down the road. And do you want to be pro active, or wait until your floors tell you that you waited too long.

You have a dog for a pet, I have these. Warm here now but my boys are in for COLD weather next week.

The International Day of Happiness was established on June 28, 2012 when UN resolution 66/281 was adopted by consensus of all 193 member states of the United Nations.
This day is celebrated around the world every March 20th.
We are encouraged on this day to reflect on the depth of happiness in our own lives and to embrace actions to promote greater happiness and wellbeing in ourselves and those around us.
Pope Francis reminded the youth gathered in St. Peter's square on April 2014 of the importance of happiness:
"your happiness has no price, it cannot be bought: it is not an app that you can download on your phones nor will the latest update bring freedom and grandeur in love. Before all else, love is beautiful, it is the path to happiness". But he warned that this path is also demanding and "requires effort." Catholic Online
Mary MacKillop's advice in 1893 also points to the notion that happiness is not a private affair but rather a community activity: "Find happiness in making others happy".
I sense Pope Francis and Mary are speaking about a deep transformative happiness that may be born out of pain and sacrifice as well as joy. A happiness that facilitates human flourishing and promotes right relationships with ourselves, others, with the world we live in and with God.
Integral to our pursuit of authentic happiness is our ability to recognise and accept our own limitedness and our reliance on God. In his book "Learning to Fall" Peter Simmons explores the "Blessings of an Imperfect Life". Simmons, through his own personal struggle with a chronic illness, shows that happiness comes from acceptance of the reality of our own lives as they really are.
He reflects happiness as a "deep gift not found elsewhere". Not in an imagined life while our real one passes by, but in the "peaceful acceptance of things unfinished..." He suggests that when we happily enter the "cave of our deep solitude...we can accept that human life on earth is muddy and untidy and that we need not put on a face of imagined respectability." He suggests we strive to live the reality of this world to the full with all its conditions.
There are many aspects of nature, art, music, human relationships and so forth that inspire this pursuit of happiness within us, and many actions we can embrace to promote happiness around us.
In terms of taking action on this International Happiness Day 2017, I saw some suggestions listed on the back of a T shirt that I believe provide a great start to achieving and promoting happiness in these troubled times...
Love Thy Neighbour
Thy Homeless Neighbour
Thy Muslim Neighbour
Thy Black Neighbour
Thy Gay Neighbour
Thy White Neighbour
Thy Jewish Neighbour
Thy Christian Neighbour
Thy Atheist Neighbour
Thy Racist Neighbour
Thy Addicted Neighbour...
I would only like add to the list, "Love Thyself".

CUTLER, Calif. >> A Central California company has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of specific lots of its fresh peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots over concerns of possible listeria contamination.
Wawona Packing says on its website that no illnesses have been reported and the recall is a precautionary measure.
The company said the recalled fruit was packed and shipped to retailers from June 1 through July 12. The company said it is issuing a nationwide recall because it cannot say where the product was shipped. The fruits were sold to retailers, who redistributed it.
Retailers that received the fruit include Costco, Sam's Club and Trader Joe's.
The state Health Department, Costco and Sam's Club were unable to say Monday night if the products were distributed in Hawaii.
The recall came after internal testing at the packing house in Tulare County.
Officials say they shut down the lines, retrofitted some equipment and sanitized the facility. Subsequent tests have been negative.
Clovis-based Wawona Frozen Foods is a separate company and is not involved in the voluntary recall.
Listeria bacteria can cause a dangerous flu-like illness.

Unrepentant mobster interviewed on state TV sparks outrage in Italy
By Steve Scherer
ROME (Reuters) - A convicted mobster whose father was the bloodiest of all Sicilian mafia bosses has sparked outrage in Italy by giving an interview to RAI state television in which he described his childhood as "nice" and refused to denounce the mob.
Giuseppe Salvatore Riina has written a book called "Riina Family Life" about growing up as the son of Italy's most wanted man, Salvatore "Toto" Riina, and appeared late on Wednesday on RAI's premier talkshow to promote his memoirs.
Not once during the interview did Riina, one of four children, criticize his father, and he refused to acknowledge the existence of the mafia, saying cryptically when asked to define it: "It could be everything or it could be nothing".
Italian politicians denounced RAI for allowing the interview to be aired and RAI's top managers have been summoned to appear before parliament's anti-mafia committee on Thursday.
Riina's 85-year-old father, nicknamed "the Beast", was arrested in 1993 and is serving multiple life sentences for murder, including for ordering the 1992 assassinations of anti-mafia magistrates Giovanni Falconi and Paolo Borsellino.
Investigators estimate that more than 1,000 people were killed in a mafia war in the early 1980s in which the elder Riina emerged as the supreme leader of Cosa Nostra.
His son was also subsequently convicted of mafia membership and sentenced to nearly nine years in prison. He is currently on parole.
During the half-hour pre-recorded interview, Riina said he had been home schooled and that he lied about his identity as a child to protect his father, who lived under an assumed name and told neighbors he worked as a surveyor. Continued...

A few days ago, I observed that my two weakest hives (less than five medium frames of bees) appeared to have been driven off by fire ants determined to eat their brood. One was vacant, except the brood already half eaten by fire ants. The other colony was still clustered on the outside front corner adjacent to their entrance and the fire ants were busy eating their brood, too.
I immediately pulled a frame of brood and young bees from one of the strongest colonies, placed it in a super, and brushed all the clustered bees from the besieged colony into the box with the frame of brood in all stages - then added frames of pollen and honey to make up the difference. The queen was with them. The next morning there were only a few bees still covering the brood - which I quickly returned to a stronger colony for better care.
Immediately after discovering the ant situation I had spread ant poison on the ground around the hives, and this did suppress the ants.
I cleaned the bottom board and emptied the super that was now empty and returned it to its original position (now without ants). I placed six partially drawn combs into the 8-frame super and didn't even place a cover on this super. That was yesterday - this morning, to my surprise, I glanced at this box of empty combs as I was passing it, and discovered that it was again occupied by the same queen and bees that had absconded from it two days before. I gave them a cover and plan to boost them with a frame or two of brood from one of the stronger hives, tomorrow, if they're still there.

The pass offense last season as we all know was very good, but this season there is a very good chance that it could be even better. Not only do we have Nicks and Cruz back, having Hixon and Randle as back-ups is a vast improvement over what we had last season. At tight-end I did like Ballard but he isn't exactly an all-pro caliber, and now with Black Unicorn who is a superior talent with a potential to be a bigger offensive threat, that's a big improvement as well, and with David Wilson carrying the ball, it should help out the passing game as the opponent would have to honor the running game, which was 32nd last year so the Giants pretty much had to play against pass defenses all the time but not this year if David Wilson proves to be a game-breaker, which translates into more opportunities for play-action plays.
If all things go as it should, the Giants offense of 2012 could be one of the best ever in the history of the franchise. Things are all set up for Eli to take the next step, Eli is elite now, but with a successful 2012 campaign statistics-wise, Eli can become an icon.

Hi all. New to the forum. Running a 1978 Chevy K10 (in Utah) with a 454 (crate) swap that was done before I picked it up. Aftermarket cams of some sort and dual glasspack exhaust (true duel). It's really my first 'project vehicle' and I'm looking to fix 'er up and make some inexpensive mods to it so I came here to study up!

A Reckless Weekend
True, Sumeke had a relationship with Kanye for several years but the pair decided to separate during the process of him reaching new heights in his career . While Alexis may be the latest arm candy she is positively not the ex-girlfriend that was there before the accident and first album.
Kanye and his bride-to-be took in lunch yesterday at Mr. Chows in Beverly Hills. Wow, would you check out that limp wrist action. Some pictures are worth a 1,000 words. And this one tells me that he just told her not to fuck up his Fendi bag. But I do think they make a lovely couple.
T Double D is featured on newcomer Quiarrelee's song titled "Top Notch Diva" along with Trina. If you are looking for laughs at the expense of others you will definitely enjoy this video. To echo the sentiments of my folks at Concrete Loop, it does look like Dave Chappelle is going to jump out at any moment.
Speaking of fun on YouTube, you will never guess what gem B. Fred was able to dig up.
Apparently Paul Wall made a cameo in Juvenile's video for "Mama Got Ass (She Get It From Her Mama)."
Yeah, big fucking deal is what I thought too until I saw the People's Champ rocking some kitchen ass cornrows.

The shit is just wrong on so many levels. I'm so happy that he got rid of them joints. Don't take my word for it though, check out the video around the 0:38 time mark and make the call for yourself.

QRX Balances Sonic Finesse and Value for House of Worship
"We've been working on this project for a few years now, in step with the church's annual budget, and previously put in an in-ear monitoring system, six wireless microphones and three antenna distribution systems to integrate with 19 channels of wireless microphones and their FOH console," says Brent Payne of Audio Visual Specialists. "The installation of the EV QRx rig was the finishing touch, the end point at which you can walk in and hear all the difference their total investment made."
Audio Visual Specialists replaced a left/center/right system from another manufacturer; the left and right mains were ten-year old two-way boxes and the center down-fill was a smaller two-way box from a different series, which caused driver issues. Non-time-aligned delay speakers from another brand had been installed about three quarters of the way to the rear of the room, along with some no-name subs down in front on either side of the stage. Simply put, Audio Visual Specialists' all-EV spec replaced the kind of mix and match system found in houses of worship around the U.S.
"First we addressed reverb issues in the room by treating the rear wall of the church," Payne adds. "The side walls were not addressed due to budget restraints. The gently pitched ceiling is made of wood, so there's some absorptive coefficient, but not a whole lot. It was clear that we needed speakers with an inherently warm and flat characteristic that would work with the room, with minimal tweaking. We wanted to spec boxes from a single series, and found QRx offered the best performance at their price point."
Two horizontally flown QRx212H/75 full-range loudspeakers cover the house, throwing 65-feet deep and covering around 450 seats, with low-end support via two QRx218S subs. One pair of QRx122/75 boxes now serve as stage monitors, having been originally installed by Audio Visual Specialists as temporary left and right mains last year. The new mains run around 95-100 dB for services, with plenty of headroom via two CP3000S and one CP4000S compact precision amplifiers-remarkably light and powerful units that are a popular choice in the house of worship market. Three Klark Teknik Square One EQ units and two Square One Dynamic units (16 channels) add sonic finesse and functionality to the FOH rack; an easy-to-operate solution to keep the signal warm and balanced with the room.
"The asymmetrical horn in the 112s and 212s really lends itself to the 35-degree down and 15-degree up we needed," Payne continues, "so we don't light up the ceiling too much, but do throw enough down on the audience area; it's comfortable from front to back, even at a higher SPL. Plus the sightlines are clean-you really can't tell the boxes are there. We used the QRx rigging hardware to rig the mains high up by the ceiling behind some lighting truss, moving the lights to the side. This was a little closer than I had modeled in EASE-I thought I'd need to come down four to six inches just to get it to play out-but in my measurements after installing the system I found that there really wasn't much difference in the performance of the system that way, and it kept the sightlines nice and clear for the full band and large choir onstage. Aside from having the power handling and pattern control to cover the room, these boxes just sound good-it all comes down to the quality of the components inside."
"The client's comments have been to the tune of "it's incredibly clean, we can hear every detail,'" says Payne. "The quality of the sound is astonishing in comparison to their previous system. They can now run a full concert in the room, which wasn't possible before. You can hear people breathe while they sing-it really adds depth and character to the performances, again, even at higher SPLs. And, of course, the youth are digging it, as we can deliver their preferred dB level!"
Payne offered some thoughts on why working with EV makes a difference: "I was literally born and raised in this business, and I know that anybody can buy and sell boxes. The support and the relationship are what keep the good guys around. In my experience, EV provides unmatched support from all angles-I've known our rep Omar Arnold for years, and I know we can expect hands-on support from him and his associates at Quantum Sales and Technology, along with guys like Chris Aeilts at EV tech support. Both of them really opened up the depth and breadth of what EV can offer in its products. Of course there are always budgets to consider, but we worked together to find a well-rounded solution for our client. I couldn't be happier, and neither could our customer-we're really excited about this relationship. It all adds up to make big difference."

University of North Dakota officials will spend another day in the skies testing new technology designed to help integrate unmanned aircraft into the national airspace. UND Aerospace and the Mitre Corporation have been working on cockpit technology loaded with sense and avoid software – or algorithms. The goal is to develop a way for unmanned aircraft to avoid other aircraft and compensate for not having an actual pilot on board. Mark Askelson of UND's Atmospheric Sciences says the tests this week involve a Cirrus aircraft equipped with special algorithm software to act like an unmanned aircraft -- only with a "safety" pilot on board. A UND Cessna 172 will serve as an "intruder" aircraft during a demonstration project. The tests run through Saturday.

Fright In The Free World
Fright In The Free World
Dear Editor;
On behalf of my family, I wish to extend my sympathy to the loved ones of the victims of the tragic disaster at the site of the World Trade Center. I heartily thank those that gave their lives to save others. I salute the FDNY, NYPD, the EMS and Port Authority personnel for their sacrifices. May God accept them in his kingdom and let them know that even though we cannot hold their hands, they are in our hearts, in the heart of every man and woman of the free world.
Many people ask themselves how terrorists can board a plane. In this case it was simple. They did not carry a machine gun, a knife or any metal that could have been detected by the heavy security at the airport.
We can't stop simple, unarmed passengers from boarding an airline. Once on board, they only thing needed was to arm-choke one or two attendants and demand the pilot(s) out of the cabin so that they could take over.
An inaccessible, impenetrable cabin, a cabin that could be opened only from inside, by the pilot(s), is a must now. It will reduce and maybe even eliminate a tragedy. Once they know of the impossibility of gaining control of the cabin, and therefore of the airline, they would not even try it. It would be fruitless and not worth the risk.
Once in command of the airline, who needs a bomb or a machine gun to complete the hell-desired mission? The hell with the millions of dollars spent for heavy security, and the hell with Strategic Air Defense. The hell with the most powerful Army/Navy in the world because all it took was an arm-choke to bring down those flights.
During these hijackings, the terrorists are in command of 400.000 lbs. of steel with a couple thousand gallons of high-octane fuel. This time it was the Twin Towers, but what will be next? Shea Stadium? Yankee Stadium? Wall Street? The White House? Chicago or Boston?
They are "free" to travel to their target because of security lapses. How can we stop them or why should we stop them? These are our commercial airlines. For the tower, or airline security, this is an every day routine. Once notified of the hijack, the security will still stay put. They have experienced other hijacks in the past.
There will be a demand for a couple of million dollars or a release of some prisoners. The notion is to wait. Who would think the mission would be to crash the plane into a monument. Nobody. It never happened before, except in a real war. The rest is history, a piece of history that will stay with us forever. It is sad, and what's more frightening is the fact they did all of this with an arm-choke. This is something they could never have done with a machine gun or a missile.
I applaud mayor Giuliani for the extraneous work done and the brilliant leadership shown in this time of crises. He wisely urged everyone to keep calm; he warned it was not for us to take the action into our own hands; we have the intellect and the power to settle it the right way.
People have responded to his fatherly message. They have kept calm and cooperative, which is illustrated through the massive display of flags throughout the city. Too bad we can't keep him for 8 more years. I am sure this situation will be handled the right way. We owe it to those who were lost.
One thing is for sure; we had enough of these threats and tragedies. We have lost many, many lives for a cause that is not even related to us. As one person said, "Why us?" We never harmed anyone. Never."
We should find and say to those responsible, enough is enough! We should make damn sure, with a proper action, that we are not put on our knees anymore. May God grant eternal rest to all who lost their lives in this horrible tragedy.

My wife Farida and I visited a Wolof village about 30 kilometers outside of Dakar, Senegal. We were welcomed by Wolof drummers and dancers and friendly villagers who all lived in traditional round straw huts. Sand was everywhere; even a haze of sand was in the air.

The latest draft rankings are out from ESPN's Todd McShay and Mel Kiper and there isn't much change involving the Pac-12 players projected for the first round.
On McShay's top 32, Stanford offensive guard David DeCastro climbed closer to the top 10, moving up from No. 13 to 12.
McShay on DeCastro: DeCastro's physical, dominating style made him the top interior lineman in the country in 2011, and he is a plug-and-play prospect who will be a starter from the moment he sets foot in camp.
DeCastro's teammate, offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, fell from No. 22 to 24 while USC defensive end Nick Perry moved up one spot to No. 28. Andrew Luck and Matt Kalil held their No. 1 and No. 3 spots, respectively.
For those of you curious about what an NFL draft board looks like, McShay and the Scouts Inc. team put one together.
On Mel Kiper's Big Board, DeCastro moved up from No. 15 to 14. Luck and Kalil also remained at Nos. 1 and 3.
Kiper on Luck: His pro day has arrived. Last week, got good news with Reggie Wayne staying in Indy. Luck has worked hard during the draft process, confirming a lot of what evaluators felt about his mentality. Status quo remains in terms of profile. The total package: arm strength, size, smarts, demeanor. Ready to play.
Finally, Kiper also updated his top five draft prospects by position. It's the usual suspects in their usual spots. Brock Osweiler sits as the No. 5 quarterback, LaMichael James is the No. 2 running back; Rhett Ellison, Coby Fleener, Mychal Kendricks, Vontaze Burfict and Bryan Anger all appear in the various rankings.
