New Nonstop JetBlue Service from Jacksonville to San Juan, P.R., Begins Today
May 19, 2011
JetBlue Airways began daily nonstop service between Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan today, offering regional travelers new options to reach the Caribbean and Latin America.
The new JetBlue route is the first daily nonstop service between Jacksonville and the island of Puerto Rico. The one daily flight departs Jacksonville at 10:23 a.m. and returns from San Juan at 5:45 p.m.
This new non-stop service is the result of four years hard work between the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA), city representatives and members of the business community.
"We have been trying to land service to Puerto Rico for several years and are pleased that JetBlue shares our vision," Steve Grossman, Executive Director and CEO of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority said. "With the community's support, this is the first step towards opening up additional markets in the Caribbean and Latin America."
The Jacksonville business community has long had ties with Puerto Rico. More than 75 percent of all trade between the U.S. mainland and Puerto Rico moves through Jacksonville, making it the number one port in the country for trade with the island.
There is also a growing connection between the cities for medical tourism. According to the Jacksonville branch of the Mayo Clinic, 16 percent of international patients come from Puerto Rico, more than any other country.
"This connection creates a welcome opportunity on both sides of the service," said JAXPORT Chief Executive Officer Paul Anderson. "Making access easier allows Jacksonville business to strengthen already strong ties with Puerto Rico and it is a clear win for all of us."
In October 2009, Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton signed an agreement with the mayor of San Juan, Jorge Santini, uniting their municipalities as "Sister Cities." With this new flight connection, the cities can continue their great exchange of commerce, ideas, culture, entertainment and business strategies. The new flights will also offer families in Puerto Rico and on the mainland greater access to one another.
"This is an exciting day for both of our cities, as it is the culmination of us closely working together to develop non-stop flight service between San Juan and Jacksonville," said Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton. "This new connection signifies the future increased tourism, Sister City cultural exchanges and important expanded economic development and business opportunities that having a direct link to Puerto Rico, Jacksonville's number one trading partner, will provide."
Mayor Santini also expressed his satisfaction for the service and emphasized that the alliance will be an advantageous one that will benefit the citizens of Puerto Rico and their families while also being a stimulus for San Juan's tourism industry.
"The daily JetBlue flight to Puerto Rico is evidence of the cooperative agreement between our two cities for mutual benefit, in order to explore and create opportunities in educational and cultural programs for the development of new business initiatives," Mayor Santini said.
"We're very proud to finally bring the 'Sister Cities' together with our daily flight from Jacksonville to San Juan; we have the great community support behind this initiative to thank for it," said Scott Laurence, vice president of network planning for JetBlue. "Connecting communities, whether it's for business or leisure, is what it's all about."
Connecting through San Juan, travelers also have new options to reach destinations throughout the Caribbean. On April 14, Jetblue announced plans to launch nonstop daily service from San Juan to St. Maarten, making it their second intra-Caribbean route. This service is scheduled to begin on November 17. Jetblue service currently exists between San Juan and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Jeeves and the Wedding Bells by Sebastian Faulks (Hutchinson, £16.99)
I used to get my PG Wodehouse fix in the form of those Penguins that had an illustration, invariably excellent, by "Ionicus" on the front cover and a quote from Evelyn Waugh on the back: "Mr Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from a captivity that may be more irksome than our own," etc. These lines became familiar to the point of invisibility but they hold this truth: that when we read Wodehouse, it's to shove our cares to one side.
And so Sebastian Faulks has been invited by, or has perhaps asked, the Wodehouse estate to add one more book to the canon; or rather to place one alongside it, in homage, and in the hope of enticing a new generation of readers to get hold of the Real Thing. And the strange thing is that, after a couple of weeks' reflection, I'm still unsure how well he has succeeded.
Faulks tries to get off the hook at the start by saying he's written a "nostalgic variation", not a straight impersonation. That's wise but, nevertheless, here we have the familiar ingredients: Bertie and Jeeves in a country house getting in and out of absurd scrapes and emotional entanglements. In the Wodehouse canon this meant Bertie trying to reunite the sundered hearts of his friends while trying to get out of an unwelcome engagement himself; in this book you notice something is up the moment when Bertie describes one Georgiana Meadowes as "perhaps the most beautiful girl I had ever seen". This odd note — the real Bertie would never have put it quite that baldly — prompted me to draw up a ledger in the endpapers: on the left side, things that jarred, and on the other, things that had me applauding.
The left side has about three times as many entries as the right but the right is by no means empty. There are plenty of times when Faulks — not hitherto known as an author for whom comedy has been a crucial part of his palette — gets the right note, but there are also plenty of times when the reader who knows Wodehouse will shudder. (The only "brainless" mistake is the often repeated one of calling the head the "old bean". No! No! "Old bean" is a salutation; the head is simply "the bean".)
But I detect a pattern: it is the intrusion of the real world. Georgiana (whose surname is, deliberately or not, the same as Bertie's previous, insane valet), like Bertie, is an orphan, but we have a cause: the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. The action of the book takes place towards the end of the General Strike, ie a fixed point in history. A definite accusation of an improper sexual liaison is made at a dinner table. In other words, we are no longer in Wodehouse's pre-lapsarian world, where the only real romance was between Jeeves and his employer. And there are times when the book looks like more of a homage to Downton Abbey than Wodehouse.
We also lose something important: the great gulf Wodehouse created between Wooster's eloquence and his (supposed) intelligence, or lack thereof, for Georgiana has to fall in love with Bertie, and if she's not stupid, then neither can he be. How this will send people back to the original stories I'm not sure, but if it does, Faulks's hard work will not have been in vain.

KIWIS are famously known for not being able to fly.
Well, those of the feathered variety who call New Zealand home, can't.
However, one particular Kiwi can really fly and you will be able to see for yourself in Maryborough this weekend - he'll be flying around a 360m track in less than 12 secs.
Maryborough Speedway in Tinana is hosting the 2012 Australian Speedcar Championship for the first time and the two-day meeting has attracted most of the best drivers in the business.
One of them is reigning New Zealand champion Michael Pickens and he's keen to drive his way into the history books.
He wants to be the first Kiwi to win the Australian title and he has some unfinished business to attend to after what happened in the event 12 months ago.
The Aucklander was leading the charge to the title when a tyre popped on the final lap and Pickens dropped from first to third.
It won't only be Pickens hoping to break a long drought.
It has been 27 years since a Queensland driver has won the title and Queenslanders Todd Wanless, Brock Dean, Jeremy Hassell, Sid Whittaker, Brendan Palmer and Grant Draney will be on track to change that statistic.
Another contingent of drivers determined to make the trip to Maryborough worthwhile will Scott Glazebrook, Neville Lance and Dene McAllan.
The trio have made the long trip from West Australia by road with their race cars in tow and by the time they return home to Perth they will have travelled almost 10,000km.
One driver who won't get the green light to entertain will be defending champion Davey Ray as he's back home in America preparing for a season.
Maryborough Sporting Car Club is hosting the meeting and spokesman Paul Redman said it was a meeting not to be missed.
"To get the chance to host such a prestigious event is fantastic for the region," he said.
"It's an unbelievable chance to see the best of the best in action and in our own backyard - it doesn't get any better than that."
Three rounds of qualifying heats will be held tonight before the final round of heats and 40-lap final are contested tomorrow.

|SThis presentation touched on a number of
factors that could affect refiners' capacity decisions, and attempted to illustrate the challenge
the industry faces as we look ahead. In
the short-term, many factors point to the potential for improved potential
for return on capacity investment.
|–Most forecasts show increasing gasoline and
diesel fuel demand growth. Even if
vehicle fuel economy again improves significantly, the impacts will not occur
|–Our primary product import is gasoline, and
with tightening U.S. specifications relative to much of the rest of the
world, we might need to pay higher prices to attract increasing import
volumes – at least for the next few years.
|–As refiners direct investment dollars to
treatment capacity in order to reduce gasoline and diesel fuel sulfur
content, capacity expansion may slow.
In addition, some of the fuel specification change requirements will
reduce refinery capability to produce gasoline through yield loss.
|–Refinery closures are likely to continue.
|–All of this adds up to increased margins in
the short term, which should improve the environment for capacity
investment. However, margin
improvement may be the result of short-term price swings rather than a smooth
steady increase.
|SLong-term changes could dramatically affect
the shape of the refining business, but such changes are not likely to occur
quickly, and should produce signs of change in advance of the impacts, which
is an incentive to keep an eye on the long term.

In an industry full of booms and busts, the Kotzebue commercial chum salmon fishery is exploding.
After decades of fluctuation, including a point where the fishery all but ceased to function, it's back this year, and fishermen are slaying.
So far, about 80 permit holders -- about 69 of which fish on a consistent basis -- have brought in 4.45 million pounds of salmon. On July 28, those fishermen brought in 534,000 pounds of fish to the fishery, 10 times more than the average of 50,000-70,000 pounds of fish that usually get caught each day.

Our defensive zone coverage was disappointing, as most of the visitors' goals were a direct result of us failing to pick up sticks in front of the net, as well as ineffective backchecking. We will get the opportunity to redeem ourselves tomorrow as we hit the road to take on Taft. Many thanks to the Lytles for sponsoring the pizza, veggies and fruit after the game.

Patrick is the real deal! Not only did I get an amazing workout, we accomplished it in 30 minutes. I've been moderately active since quitting dance years ago and 'getting by' athletically. But I knew I needed to amp it up when I was spending 4 days at the gym for over an hour each and getting nowhere. The idea of hiring a trainer is something I used to roll my eyes at... After all, how hard is it to get yourself to the gym and just get to work? But since I wasn't making much progress on my own, I was frustrated enough to give it a shot. Well, I'm very glad I did. He quickly targeted the areas I wanted to work and the exercises were spot on (I know because I felt it the next day... and the next day after that...) In between sessions we've had, he's notified me of other area fitness events I might benefit from, as well. His enthusiasm for the 'work' is motivational. He embodies a positive and 'can do' attitude and the personable approach has been much appreciated. Thanks, Patrick!(show more)

Howard Hughes Grant Helps MHC Sciences
Orchestra to Perform Score for The Phantom of the Opera
and Friends Weekend Set for October 22–24
Students to Give Presentation and Publish Zine on Voting
Ghost Story to Air on Travel Channel
Week at MHC
Over the past few months, three Mount Holyoke students have
been conducting interviews and assembling nonpartisan information
on the 2004 presidential candidates to publish in a 15- to 20-page
zine. They will present their findings in a program titled "Voting
Matters: Who Votes and Why" on Wednesday, October 27, at
7:30 pm in Kendade 305, as part of the Weissman Center's
fall series, The Road [Not] Taken: The Real Choices of the 2004
Presidential Election.
Victoria Blom '06 and Heather Fraser '06, both critical social
thought majors, and Amanda Smith '06, a Russian Eurasian studies major,
have conducted 60 qualitative interviews with MHC students and local community
members on the importance of voting. To gather survey participants, the students
used a runoff form of selection where one interviewee would refer another person
to be interviewed, and so on. They interviewed "whoever would talk to
us," Frazer said.
The participants were questioned on their civic participation, whether they
thought voting was important, and whether they felt connected to the current
government. Although their findings cannot be used to make generalizations
about voting trends, the qualitative answers give insight into personal ideas
about voting, according to Blom, Fraser, and Smith.
The question, "Does voting matter?" yielded a range of answers.
Most disturbing was that numerous participants replied that they felt that
voting was important, yet did not intend to vote. "People weren't
apathetic; they just felt that their vote would not effect change," Smith
said. She also noted that people felt uneducated about the presidential candidates
and their platforms. This drove the trio to create a nonpartisan zine with
accurate information on both candidates.
In constructing their zine, the students had to search extensively for facts.
In doing so, they revealed one of the largest problems about our presidential
candidates and the state of politics. "When we were creating the compilation
of information on each candidate, the logical step was to go to each of the
candidate's Web sites. But when we went to the Web sites, we were struggling
to find any kind of concrete information about the candidates, or any kind
of tangible information," Blom said. "Both of the Web sites said, 'John
Kerry is an advocate of the environment' and 'George Bush is working
to improve the environment,' but they didn't say what's being
done." The trio hopes that if more information is made available, people
will feel more knowledgeable and will be more likely to vote.
At their presentation the
students will discuss why they undertook this project. They hope for audience
participation and a good turnout. For more information about the presentation
and the Weissman series, go to www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/programs/wcl/fall04schedule.shtml.

Keith Thomson
The British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting of 1860 marked the public inauguration of Oxford's new cathedral of science. That Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection... had been published only seven months before gave a particular emphasis to the deliberations, whereas the presence of the Bishop of Oxford as an Honorary Vice President of the meeting provided an additional frisson. Wilberforce was already an implacable foe of evolutionary ideas, whether expounded by Robert Chambers or Charles Darwin, and had as his scientific second none other than Richard Owen, the great anatomist and palaeontologist, another determined enemy of "development" theory. With a "versatile facility and persuasive expediency" Soapy Sam Wilberforce could be relied on to gather a crowd and indeed to "smash" this new and dangerous heterodoxy.
The events of June 30 really began Thursday, June 28, when Professor Daubeny read a paper: "On the final causes of the sexuality in plants, with particular reference to Mr. Darwin's work...." With Huxley in the audience, Owen countered with the exaggerated claim that the brain of a gorilla was more different from that of a human than from that of the lowest primate. As Huxley was known for using the similarity of ape and human brains as evidence of evolution, this was a blatant challenge. Huxley, having previously stated that he "did not think that a general audience, in which sentiment would unduly interfere with intellect, was a fit place for such a discussion," got up and contradicted Owen flatly but politely. With that, one senses the knives were well and truly out. By Friday evening, Huxley, exhausted by all the argument, intended to decamp. But Robert Chambers begged him not to desert the battle when he was needed most. Perhaps mindful of the way that Wilberforce had attacked Chambers for his Vestiges of Creation (1844) at the 1847 meeting, Huxley agreed to stay on.
On Saturday morning the great and near-great of British science assembled in the reading room of the museum library. Although scheduled to chair the session, Owen did not attend but asked the Reverend Robert Stevens Henslow (Darwin's old mentor from Cambridge) to take his place, perhaps shrewdly hoping to make the expected defeat of Darwin the more complete. The eye of this particular hurricane, Darwin himself, was typically absent. His intestines shredded by the pressures of public notoriety and private uncertainty, he was busy taking a cure at Dr. Lane's Hydropathic Clinic.
The centerpiece of Saturday's session was Dr. John W. Draper of New York University, who read a long, boring paper entitled "On the Intellectual Development of Europe, considered with reference to the views of Mr. Darwin and others, that the progression of organisms is determined by law." Draper is always discounted in view of the fireworks that followed, but his paper shows how quickly a Darwinian metaphor of adaptation and environment had entered what we would call social and political science. After Draper, Henslow called on the Rev. Richard Cresswell, Sir Benjamin Brodie (President of the Royal Society) and a Mr. Dingle who was shouted down by the students. After this he allowed the floor only to those with arguments not "for mere declamation."
Now Wilberforce, with assumed reluctance, accepted the invitation to speak. Wilberforce used the same arguments as were set in his anonymous review of The Origin for July's The Quarterly Review. His rhetoric, now strictly logical, now witheringly dismissive, always flamboyant, carried the audience along—a majority was with him anyway, the ladies in the window waving their white handkerchiefs, the students in the rear cheering and jeering, the clerics smugly applauding. At the end of this all-out attack Wilberforce added the one rhetorical flourish that has gone down in history. But what was it?

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
Where does the word "hiccup" come from and why is it also called a "hiccough"? Anne, Tas
The forerunners of hiccups were hickets and hickocks. These arose in the 1500s as diminutive forms of the word hick and were attempts to imitate that gasping, gulping noise we make when our diaphragm goes into a kind of involuntary contraction. So hick came about in the same way as other curiosities like burp, hack and kerchoo. These words start life as rather inadequate attempts to render in print the indecorous and rather peculiar noises that humans are prone to make on occasion. The hickets and hickocks were simply little hicks. Hiccups (also hickops) were later versions that ended up displacing these two. There was never any connection with coughing, but some believed there was and so, in the 1600s, they changed the spelling to hiccough. Dont let linguistic facts stand in the way of a good etymology!
It is interesting that the spelling hiccough never had an effect on the pronunciation. These swank respellings often did. In early new English, such was the clout of the written word that people often altered their pronunciation of an expression in order to fit in better with its spelling. Words like theatre, throne and catholic, for example, were borrowed into English from French with a t but scholars wanted to indicate a historical link with Greek and so gave them a fancy th spelling. The pronunciation then changed to suit. I can imagine that some might well have been tempted by the pronunciation 'hickoff' too, but it clearly never caught on.
I have read that you was once plural and the singular was ye. Is this so? Where did the ye go and why do people say youse as plural? Beth, QLD
The words ye and you are simply different forms of the same pronoun ye was originally the subject form (as in Come all ye faithful) and you occurred in other positions. We did have a very clear distinction between singular and plural but the singular pronouns were the thou, thee, thy and thine forms. (Originally the distinction between thou/thee and ye/you was one of a number, but in late medieval English, and also for some time after, the singular thou forms also came to mark intimacy and the plural you forms marked respect an idea we took from the French.) Now, if you go very far back in English history, you can even find another set of pronouns for you-two. These were curious words git, incer and inc. This means that in very early English we had words for you-singular, you-two and you-plural (and plural here would have meant three or more, not two or more, as it does today). However, the dual pronouns were lost very early. They were rare even in Old English. The thou forms hung around much longer. It was only in the 1600s that they started to disappear from mainstream English. By the 18th century they were only in dialects, or used by writers whenever they wanted an archaic flavour.
All this original complexity has now collapsed into one form the word you has become the all-purpose 2nd person pronoun. However, it seems we need a you-plural, and ever since the distinction disappeared, varieties all round the English-speaking world have evolved new plural pronouns. Irish English has youse, so does Scottish English and also yins. You can find youse in the north of England, too, in places like Liverpool and Manchester (wherever there has been a strong Irish presence). Indeed, it is almost certainly from the Irish that Australian English got its youse form, with perhaps some influence from Scottish. In England, there is an East Anglian version of you-plural, which is you together, as in Where are you together (in other words, Where are you guys). Varieties of American English have a range of different forms, including youse, you guys, you-uns and of course you-all or yall. Other rarer versions include all-you and you lot. All these different pronouns are still considered non-standard, of course, but so common are you-plural forms now, that some linguists have even described them as a vernacular universal; in other words, a feature that occurs in colloquial Englishes all over the world.
On a hand, why are thumbs called thumbs and not fingers? On our feet all our digits are called toes. Evelyn, Vic
In a broad sense, the thumb is one of the five terminal members of the hand or fingers; but in a restricted sense, there are four fingers and the thumb is excluded. It is understandable that it should be singled out for special treatment in this way. The thumb is a very different beast from fingers, distinguished from them by having only two phalanges (these are the bones of fingers and toes). Thumbs are also handy even the so-called mickle toe (the big one) isnt that handy.
Thumbs are, of course, fatter than fingers and the name is etymologically the swollen part (so its related to words like tumour and tumult). As an interesting aside, the b on the end was wrongly attached in the 1200s. At a time when people were stopping pronouncing the b on the end of words like climb and lamb, they started putting in places where it didnt belong and in this case the error stuck!

Re-Focused – Falcons @ Seahawks, Week 4
Re-Focused – Falcons @ Seahawks, Week 4
The Seahawks were coming off a big divisional game against the Cardinals where they showed a ton of improvement on offense – an area that looked hopeless with out Sidney Rice. Tarvaris Jackson continued to develop and he put together a game where he graded out higher than the three previous, but it wasn't enough to knock off the high-flying Falcons.
Atlanta got a much-needed cross-country victory that helped them stay alive in the always competitive NFC South. The Falcons needed key players on both sides of the ball to step up and right the ship before their season headed south even more. They answered the challenge and came together after getting beat a week earlier in ugly fashion by Tampa Bay.
Atlanta – Three Performances of Note
1) Containing the edge
The first three weeks of the season have been anything but a joy ride for the Atlanta Falcons' offensive line. Protecting Matt Ryan like they have done so well in years past may prove to be the downfall of this team if things don't start to click, fast. Coming into this game Ryan had been sacked a total of 10 times, but a trip to the great Northwest seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. As a unit they finished with an overall PFF grade of +3.6 and didn't allow a sack or hit on Matty Ice and the stand out performer on the line was Tyson Clabo. Clabo's play wasn't highlight reel material, but he did bounce back after two poor pass blocking performances against Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. On the 47 snaps he spent pass blocking on Sunday, he only allowed one quarterback pressure.
2) Only up from here
It seems to be a reoccurring theme that a trip to Seattle is all a player needs to get things turned around. Ray Edwards can attest to that. Struggling mightily coming into this game, some were wondering if Edwards was worth all the offseason hype. While he had a decent day at getting after the quarterback with a couple of pressures and a quarterback hit, Edwards earned his money in the run game (+1.6), an area where he excelled last year, but this year has been up and down through the first three weeks. He ended up with two defensive stops on the day and won a couple of nice head-to-head matchups with Seahawks big-money free agent Zach Miller in the second half.
3) Idle feet
As much as I praised the Falcons for keeping Matt Ryan clean I can't do the same for the lack of holes they opened up for Michael Turner. Yes, I know Turner had the nice 21-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, but if you take away that long run he averaged 1.96 yards per carry (25 carries for 49 yards). Seattle is a very good team at stopping the run, in fact they are our top team against the run at +33.7 – Atlanta is our fourth-worst team in terms of run blocking with a putrid -24.6 grade. While I didn't really expect them to get worse from a year ago, because that would be hard to do, they indeed did. Turner isn't getting any younger, but the man needs holes to run through if he's going to prove his worth.
Seattle – Three Performances of Note
1) Solidifying the middle
With the tackles having an off day it was time for the Seahawks interior to pick up the slack. Paul McQuistan who was only making his second start of his career, coincidentally pulled in the best game of his career. McQuistan, who was beat up pretty badly last week by Calais Campbell, did a nice job of holding his blocks and even getting to the second level on some; he earned a +1.6 grade overall. John Moffitt, the other guard has had a disastrous start to his career, but he showed a nice ability to bounce back and hold his own in the trenches. On separate occasions he made two key blocks on screen passes in the third quarter. One was at the 7:02 mark and the other one was at 5:38. His pass blocking skills weren't as on point as the run and screen game, but he did show the ability to hold his own at times against one of the best pass rushers in the game, John Abraham.
2) On the rebound
It's so easy to talk about Chris Clemons every week because he is so consistently good, but this week it was Raheem Brock's turn to shine. Brock was absolutely outstanding last year as a rotational player registering 11 sacks and 45 quarterback pressures. He hasn't really picked up right where he left off, but, in fairness, he has always kind of been a slow starter. Brock easily turned in his finest performance of the season on Sunday in every phase of the game. Out of Seattle's 82 defensive snaps he only played 39, but when given the opportunity, he didn't disappoint. Managing two defensive stops, two pressures and a quarterback hit can only help Brock's cause for garnering more opportunities.
3) Not Revis island
Turning in another poor performance this week was cornerback Marcus Trufant. As well as the Seahawks do against the run they always struggle in coverage and surprisingly this week it wasn't he and Brandon Browner both because both have had some rough games early on. Trufant was targeted 15 times total; he only allowed about half of the targets to be completed, but they were big gainers (eight catches for 97 yards). Granted, Trufant had a tough cover most of the day against Roddy White, but it was the second week in a row where he gave up big yardage. Last week he let the Cardinals' receivers have their way with him.
Game Notes
● Tarvaris Jackson's +6.6 grade is the highest we've ever given him.
● When the Falcons ran behind left tackle Sam Baker they averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
● Every Falcons defensive lineman that played at least one snap registered a hit or a pressure.
PFF Game Ball:

Hats off to Ray Edwards on registering his first positive performance of the year after getting off to a slow start.

Nets: Look for win in finale of historic road trip
MILWAUKEE — The Nets have seen it all over the last 11 days. Important wins. Mind-numbing defeats. Even history.
Tonight, the marathon stretch finally comes to an end at Bradley Center.
Against the Bucks, the Nets have a chance to define this six-game-circus-induced-post-All-Star-break trip. A victory means a winning trip. A loss, to one of the worst teams in basketball, would be an opportunity missed.
"It's huge," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "It's a big game for us. If we can go 4-2 it's a heck of a road trip for us coming out of the All-Star break."
Sunday, about midway through the trip, history unfolded when the Nets signed Jason Collins to a 10-day contract. Collins is the first openly gay player in the history of the four major American sports.
The attention started with a packed news conference in Staples Center. At every Nets stop since, the attention has continued for Collins. Wednesday in Portland, more than 20 local reporters showed up at a morning shootaround — most road shootarounds feature a maximum of one local reporter. It continued Thursday night in Denver, where a pregame crush of reporters greeted Collins outside the Nets locker room.
Collins only played eight minutes in the Nets' 112-89 win over Denver, all in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand. He scored his first three points as a Brooklyn Net, and committed four fouls. He was greeted with a nice ovation from those still at Pepsi Center when he checked into the game with the Nets up by 34.
But for the third straight day, this role player's jersey was the highest selling on NBA.com. Collins wears No. 98 to honor Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was murdered in 1998.
After the game, Collins met with the parents of Shepard, who drove more than three hours from Wyoming to watch him play. He signed a No. 98 jersey to give to them, though not the one he wore against the Nuggets.
"It's a backup; I did not want to give them a sweaty jersey," Collins said with a laugh.
Collins posted a picture of the meeting on his Twitter late Thursday, saying, "I'm so fortunate to have met Matthew Shepard's parents and brother tonight after @BrooklynNets win."
"It was delightful," Judy Shepard told reporters. She talked with Collins via phone last spring after he came out and said he had wore No. 98 in honor of her son. "We were happy to finally have the opportunity to meet."
The NBA announced Friday that it is donating all proceeds from sales of Collins' jerseys to the Matthew Shepard Foundation and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.
The Nets' focus will be squarely on basketball tonight against the Bucks.
They've been inconsistent on this trip, with good efforts in the first three games. But after the Nets lost by 44 to the Blazers on Wednesday, Kidd got angry with the team before Thursday's game The Nets responded with a 23-point blowout win over the Nuggets.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was only the second time in NBA history a team lost by 40 or more one night and won by 20 or more the next night.
"We've got to build on [that] win," Deron Williams said. "We can't go out and lay an egg against Milwaukee. This is a big game for us, to end the road trip right."

The Board reviewed the status of its project to amend IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
The Board last discussed the project in July 2004, when it decided to replace the recognition requirements of IAS 20 with the recognition requirements for government grants related to assets measured at fair value included in IAS 41 Agriculture.The Board acknowledged that IAS 20 is inconsistent with the Framework and that there is a need to update the Standard. However, the Board also noted some concerns about the conceptual basis of the government grant model in IAS 41, particularly in its treatment of conditional grants.
The Board noted that its work in other projects, in particular its project to amend IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, might yield insights into the appropriate treatment of obligations arising in conditional grants. Therefore, the Board decided to defer work on the IAS 20 project until further work on those projects is completed.
The Board noted that it had previously concluded that its IAS 20 project is precedential to its Emissions Trading project. Accordingly, the decision to defer the IAS 20 project ment that work on the Emissions Trading project was also deferred.

Steve Lomas will be backed in the transfer market this summer and today targeted players with enough character to cope with the demands of playing for Millwall.
Lomas has held talks with chairman John Berylson and chief executive Andy
Ambler about his plans for next season and will have funds available to
The 39-year-old, who signed a one-year rolling contract at The Den earlier this month, said: "The players coming in have got to have a strong mentality, they have to be able to cope with everything because they are going to get a bit of stick.
"These fans graft all week and, more so at this club, players need to understand the responsibility they have got. They have got understand what it takes to play at a club where fans demand a performance whether they win, lose or draw."
Kenny Jackett, who resigned at the end of last season, reportedly became frustrated with a lack of financial support but Lomas says he has the backing of the board.
He said: "The chairman has told me: 'tell me what you need and we will see what we can do'. But we understand that there is a budget we have to stay within. There are a lot of good players here and it is about trying to improve that."
Millwall return for pre-season training on Monday and Lomas wants to assess the squad he has inherited from Jackett before deciding what areas to strengthen.
The former West Ham midfielder is confident of keeping hold of his best players this summer and says Millwall will not be forced to goalkeeper David Forde.
The Ireland No1, 33, has been linked with a move away following an impressive season in the Championship. Ipswich, Blackburn and Premier League new boys Hull are reportedly interested in Forde, who has one year remaining on his contract.
"It would have to be a hell of a bid for us to even contemplate letting him go," said Lomas. "You want to keep your best players and we would certainly like to keep him for the foreseeable future. The challenge is to prove to players like him that Millwall is going in the right direction."
Lomas has not made any decisions on his backroom staff and will this week hold talks with Joe Gallen, Tim Breacker and Kevin Pressman - members of the coaching team under Jackett - about their futures at the club.

I have a 2 year old tattoo about 3x3 inches on my hip. A ridiculous "19 and crazy" Japanese symbol. I got it done by a semi-professional unlicensed kid, clean needles, no irritation, no issues for the past two years - just tacky. It's mostly on my hip bone - so I'm not too concerned about it stretching and getting messed up with age/pregnancy. But what is recommended for removal? I am half black/half white and frequently use indoor tanning beds (if that makes any difference?)

Black tattoo removal
Black tattoos are much easier to treat
It is better that your tattoo is all black. It is much easier to remove. It should take at least six sessions to remove this tattoo with the Yag laser. I would never recommend an excision when there are great lasers available for this type of tattoo.

Black ink is a bit easier to work with when lasers are used for tattoo removal. its hard to estimate the exact size of the tattoo but I would recommend Q-Switched NdYAG laser for better results. its a bit big for surgical removal but staged excision (s) might be an option.

You are fortunate in that the tattoo is all black. I agree with my colleagues that the Q switched ndYag 1064 wavelength laser is the way to go. Interestingly, my son showed me his tattoo this morning. We only treated him twice, using this laser, but the tattoo has begun to fade nicely. I am quite sure you should have similar results.
Be careful to limit sun exposure, it will allow your physician to set higher parameters, and give you a quicker result.
Tattoo Removal in Darker Skin
The safest laser for darker skin would be the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with 1064 nm wavelength. You should not tan a few months before and after the laser treatment. Black tattoos usually respond well to laser treatment.
Tat Removal
You need to see someone who has a Q-switched laser and have multiple treatments. However, discontinue the tanning first and let your skin lighten as much as possible. Tanning puts a barrier between the laser light and your tattoo.
Presently, I perform several treatments in the same session which shortens the total number of treatments and cost. Multiple treatments per session is the newest way to maximize your tattoo removal.

12x12 granite tile as backsplash
We are putting in new cabinets with silestone countertops. We have an 18 in clearance over countertop. The run of countertop will include upper cabinets with 2 36x42 windows in between the upper cabinets. What would be the best way to use the tile? Do we continue the backsplash at the same level at the windows? This would mean extending the tile about 12 inches up the side of the windows. About 6 inches from bottom of window to countertop. Need ideas please. Thank you.
Welcome IlliniFan1036, to the best DIY'r site on the web.
I would wrap the window as well

Pilot unhurt in small plane crash near Princeton
PRINCETON, Minn. (AP) — A pilot walked away unhurt after a small plane made a crash landing near the Princeton airport.
The Sherburne County sheriff's office says the Cessna 152 "flipped end over end" and sustained heavy damage when it touched down Tuesday morning.
The pilot, 33-year-old Barry Ramage of Princeton, was the only person aboard the private plane. The sheriff's office says Ramage was not hurt.
The Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/rIqJt7) reports the plane had climbed to about 400 feet after taking off shortly before 11 a.m. and then lost power.
Authorities don't know why the plane lost power.
