There are many dividing lines in this nation's most bitter struggle – at Gettysburg, Manassas, Antietam… and Baltimore Street? The Jewish Museum of Maryland presents a sesquicentennial exhibition and tour marking the war that not only divided the nation but split our community.
A Groundbreaking Exhibition
The exhibition, Passages through the Fire: Jews and the Civil War, opens October 13. It invites visitors to come explore a Civil War they never knew. It tells the story of events of national importance, through the lens of one small group in the American populous. It looks at the ways in which the Civil War was a crucible for American Jewish identity, and how it laid the groundwork for their integration and Americanization on a large scale. It focuses not only on the battlefield, but on the difficult choices made by non-combatants throughout the struggle. The exhibition also looks at the role the conflict played in establishing a framework for the full participation of Jews in American life – militarily, politically, economically and socially – and how it set the stage for massive Jewish immigration decades later.
Passages through the Fire was conceived and organized by the American Jewish Historical Society and Yeshiva University Museum. The Jewish Museum of Maryland has augmented the exhibition with stories and objects reflecting the special challenges faced by the Maryland Jewish community. This groundbreaking exhibition, curated by Ken Yellis, includes the largest and most comprehensive collection of materials relating to Jews and the Civil War assembled in the last 50 years. The core of the exhibition is the unmatched collection of Robert D. Marcus of Fairfax, VA, generally regarded as the world's most significant collection of Civil War Judaica, which has never been exhibited on this scale, including an incompletely printed Confederate $500 note on whose blank side the Jewish Major Sidney Alroy Jonas handwrote the poem that became the basis for the Southern myth of the "Lost Cause."
Baltimore will be the ONLY venue outside New York where this full exhibition will appear.
The exhibition spotlights little‐known events that have shaped our history. Passages through the Fire includes an unvarnished look at the debate on slavery within the Jewish community (see tour below). It illustrates the consequences of an order by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant expelling Jews "as a class" from the massive Tennessee Territory after accusations of disloyalty. Another part of the exhibition reveals how the role of military chaplains had been reserved for Christians until President Lincoln engineered the law's reversal during the Civil War – a landmark moment.
The exhibition features three short films created exclusively for Passages through the Fire by award‐winning filmmaker Oren Rudavsky. The mini‐documentaries – on Jews and slavery, Grant's expulsion of the Jews and anti‐Semitism, and the legacy of the Civil War for Jews – will feature interviews by leading historians, including Jonathan Sarna, Harold Holtzer, and Hasia Diner.
The Jewish Museum of Maryland has also added four activity stations to the exhibition: one on photography (connecting to photo pioneers Daniel and David Bendann), one on sewing (linked to "needle picket" Annie Jonas Wells), one on Civil War supplies (attached to sutler Lazarus Goldheim) and one on commemorations and memorials (connected to monument-maker Moses Ezekiel). These hands-on opportunities bring to life the stories illustrated through pictures and letters.
"This exhibition has appeal for the Civil War novice and the avid re-enactor alike," said Museum Director, Marvin Pinkert. "It tells stories that are not well-known, even within the Jewish community. But more importantly it will be a spark for discussion as people are sure to find surprising connections between our times and the seemingly distant past. I am particularly pleased that we have used this exhibit as an impetus to reveal a new and frankly challenging side of the history of the Lloyd Street Synagogue."
An Original Tour
In conjunction with the exhibition the Jewish Museum of Maryland is presenting a special "1861 Tour" of the Lloyd Street Synagogue. The tour looks at what it would have been like to be a member of the synagogue, then occupied by Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, at the start of the Civil War. The presentation looks at the synagogue structure and content for clues about the concerns and lifestyles of its congregants. The tour includes a recreation of the arguments, both for and against abolition, which took place between Rabbi Bernard Illoway of Baltimore Hebrew and Rabbi David Einhorn of Har Sinai. Tours will take place at 11 and 3pm on opening day October 13th and at 1pm on most subsequent days the exhibition is open. Visitors should call the museum to confirm tour times.
There is also a great line up of programs to go with the exhibition. Here are just a few of the offerings in our first month:
October 13: Opening Day, Jonathan Karp of the American Jewish Historical Society will speak on Jews and the Civil War.
October 20: As a special Free Fall Baltimore program, Barry Steelman will present "Standing by Their Flags," exploring Jewish military experience on both sides of the conflict.
November 10: Lauren Strauss will present "Kosher Southern Belles and Yankee Bubbies Confront America's Greatest Crisis: Jewish Women and the Civil War".
The exhibition will be on display through February 28 and more program announcements will be forthcoming.

Attention! This page has not yet been updated for Thesis 2.1.
Google offers over 500 web fonts that can be used on your site.
You already know that typography is important, and you know that eye-catching fonts can increase conversions and help your site reflect your tone and better "talk to" your target audience.
But there are thousands of fonts out there — you may even have hundreds on your own computer. So why use Google fonts?
The answer is simple. To appear the way you see them on your computer, your visitors' devices must also support that font.
There are only a handful of "normal" web-safe fonts that you, the site owner, can expect most visitors will see, as intended, on nearly all devices. Arial, Verdana — a handful of others.
If you love Helvetica, you've got great taste! But most Windows visitors won't see Helvetica — they'll get a "fallback" font that their system has installed.
Avoiding these kinds of problems is where Google Web Fonts become very useful.
Google web fonts don't rely on the fonts that exist on a visitor's computer — Google's fonts are platform agnostic. In other words, a site using Google's web font "Droid Serif" will appear precisely as you wanted it to — even if that font is not locally installed or supported.
How does it work? Google's fonts are downloaded by the visitor's computer — fast — and the font is then applied to all text to which that font has been assigned.
The "download" component is notable. Google fonts are optimized and served quickly, but each additional font does consume bandwidth for your visitors. Each Google font used on your site will slow your page speed.
One or two Google fonts won't hurt your site speed significantly — but using a dozen fonts of this kind would have a notable impact.
Be selective, use two or three Google fonts, and you can add visual excitement to key areas of your site — without images.
How to Install a Google Web Font in Thesis 2.0
Step one: Find the font you want in the Google Web Fonts repository, click the "Quick-use" link, scroll to the bottom, and copy the necessary code.
Step two: Paste the Google font code from Step one into Thesis 2.0 in your WordPress administration area under
Thesis, then
HTML Head Editor, then
Head Scripts.
Step three: Apply the desired font to areas of your site in the Thesis 2.0 interface — the
CSS tab of the
Skin Editor — in places where you want to use that specific Google font.
Aside from saving, that's it!
Let's use a real-world application to make sure these steps are clear.
For demo purposes, let's use the Google font named "Shadows Into Light" for the Site Title, and the Google font named "Dosis" for the Tagline.
This will take us from a default Site Title and Tagline like this:
To one that looks more like this:
Step one was to find the Google font or fonts you want to use. The Google Web Fonts are easy to browse.
Once you find one you like — the "Dosis" font family in this example — click the "Quick-use" link as shown below:
Once you've clicked into a specific font, note the "Page Load" for a visual idea of how much of a delay you're adding to your site, then select and copy the the code in the blue area, near the bottom of the screen.
Note that the following image has been modified in order to highlight the more relevant parts for our purposes here.
Now you've got a Google font family ready to add, then use, in Thesis 2.0!
If you plan to select more than one font, you can easily alt-tab between Google's Web Fonts and Thesis to add the fonts you want to the 2.0 Thesis interface.
Remembering step two, you should be in
Thesis, the
HTML Head Editor, and then hover to click the "gear" of
Head Scripts as shown below — you may see several more of those dark gray boxes prior to "Head Scripts" — but it's in there!
Clicking the "gear" of
Head Scripts will pop the next screen.
Here you can add as many Google fonts as you like — remember, each font dents your site performance somewhat, and Head Scripts are called globally on your site.
For those not using the ninja pipe* method, you'll add one font per line:
If you're using this tutorial for testing prior to selecting your own fonts, here are the two lines of code that are shown in the above:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Shadows+Into+Light' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Dosis' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
*Optional Ninjitsu: you can combine multiple font requests to eliminate a portion of the performance ding using a pipe delimiter, like this:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Shadows+Into+Light|Dosis' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Either method works — though talking about "ninja pipes" is more likely to impress your friends.
Close this window,
Save HTML Head, and you're ready for the final step — applying these two fonts wherever you want.
Updated needed starting here (reference Skin → Custom CSS instead).
For this example, we want the Site Title and Tagline — so it's time to click
Skin Editor.
Move to the
CSS then look for the
Site Title &title in the right-hand section of Packages — Site Title is highlighted below.
Recall that the two CSS Packages covered in this tutorial are Site Title and Site Tagline — as you'll see, the only difference of note will be which Google font we apply to each of these.
Click the CSS Package named
Site Title &title to open the
Single Element Styles pop-up window, click on
Additional CSS, and add this line of CSS above the two existing values:
#site_title { font-family: 'Dosis'; }
When you're done, it should look like this — your new line is shown at the top of the text input in the following image:
Save — it's the green button — and close this pop-up window.
Now for a very similar action. Find the
Site Tagline &tagline and click it:
As with the Site Title, click on
Additional CSS and add the following line:
#site_tagline { font-family:"Shadows Into Light"; }
As there are no preexisting values here, yours will likely be the only line of code when you've finished:
Save — green button — and close the pop-up window.
Save once more — another green button,
Save CSS — and you've got a Site Title and a Site Tagline with two different Google fonts!
In Thesis 2.0, there's almost always more than one way to get the job done.
For example, you could have added these last two lines of CSS to the
Custom CSS area of the CSS tab — but it's good to work with specific CSS Packages, or at least to know how to work with them.
Here's one reason why. We changed the font family assigned to our Site Title and Tagline, but we did not adjust the size and other properties of the fonts. If you're in the CSS Package for either the Title or Tagline, you can make "click-and-go" adjustments to your new Google fonts within the 2.0 interface. Changes made to the font size (and lots more) will apply just as they would to default fonts!
As an aside, when using Google Web Fonts, you may not see immediate, real-time application of these fonts in the Thesis 2.0 Canvas. To confirm your changes have been applied, be sure to save, then open your site in another browser, or in a new tab of the browser you're already using.
This tutorial covered two example areas, the title and tagline.
But as you've probably guessed, the same process could be used to apply Google Web Fonts to other CSS Packages.
If you've requested the Google font in the
Head Scripts, you're a simple "copy and paste" from applying the given font to just about anything on your site.
With over 500 fonts to play with, it's all but guaranteed you'll find the perfect look for your site's most important text!

I think what we've got here is a software issue...
I have a member who has upgraded from 12 markers (returned some time
ago) to 37
markers. His 13-25 and 26-37 upgrades are in Batch 157, with results
to return on 8/2 and 8/9, respectively.
If I look at my project's "Received lab results" page, it tells me
results from
this member's 26-37 panel were returned 7/8. If I go to the member
page, only
results 1-12 are showing. If I go to my "Unreceived lab results page,"
markers 13-25 are shown pending. On the member's own page, only 13-25
are shown
It's looking like a software problem, and they may be working on it (or
something else) because some attempts to reach my GAP produce only error
messages. Just my guess, of course...

It fails when it tries to link /usr/lib/libuuid.a to xfs_copy. The ./configure script incorrectly looks for some symbol in "-luuid" and then sets the variable libuuid to "/usr/lib/libuuid.a", no matter where the "-luuid" was taken from (in my case - and probably other AMD64 distros too - the library is in /usr/lib64/libuuid.a). You may want to add "-static -luuid" when the static libuuid is needed, and just "-luuid" otherwise. ./configure --enable-shared-uuid works for me. Default configuration does not. I suggest the following patch to ./configure.in, which works for me: --- configure.in.orig 2004-02-27 15:42:49.163908768 +0100 +++ configure.in 2004-02-27 15:43:21.889933656 +0100 @@ -32,9 +32,9 @@ AC_PACKAGE_NEED_UUIDCOMPARE AC_ARG_ENABLE(shared-uuid, [ --enable-shared-uuid=[yes/no] Link shared libuuid [default=no].], - libuuid="/usr/lib/libuuid.a" + libuuid="-static -luuid" test "$enable_shared_uuid" = yes && libuuid="-luuid", - libuuid="/usr/lib/libuuid.a") + libuuid="-static -luuid") AC_PACKAGE_CHECK_LIBUUID AC_SUBST(libuuid) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

LifeSkills campaign: how to prepare pupils for work
Is it the job of schools to get our children ready for working life, asks Daniel Allen
A familiar complaint from businesses is that schools are failing to prepare young people adequately for the world of work. Youngsters are often unpunctual and lack the basic skills necessary to communicate with colleagues and customers, say company chiefs; they have the wrong attitude and appear uninterested.
But spare a thought for those whose role it is to turn young people into good citizens; into grounded and rounded individuals who can navigate life's multiple challenges with a degree of contentment and success, and without an excess of degeneracy.
Nansi Ellis, the head of education policy and research for the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, says: "There is pressure on schools to do all manner of things."
Preparing young people for work is one of them,…

This is not too easy any way you look at it. If you want to distribute collections, you have to distinguish installing them in the plt tree which makes them available for any user on the system, or installing them in a specific user directory. For installation in the main plt tree, what you need (if you want to use some other package system) is to package up the contents of that collection. In the script section that is in charge of installing the package, you need to invoke "setup-plt -l <new-collection>". To find the current PLTHOME, you can run this: mzscheme -meev '(require (lib "plthome.ss" "setup"))' \ '(printf "~a~%" plthome)' But note that installing a new version of plt will usually want to create its directory from scratch. > > If you have a need to use Debian or Portage I'm sure you can find > > a way to integrate Planet with either (perhaps by writing a custom > > Planet server), but I don't think you should use that as a reason > > to not use Planet or .plts > If I can't build .debs out of .plts (like I can build .debs out of > .tar.gz having source code and autotools/scons scripts), then, I'll > have to look into other alternatives.

Yes, if you're running htdig 3.1.3, or the 3.2 development code.
The handling of modification_time_is_now was broken in 3.1.2 and earlier.
However, with modification_time_is_now: true htdig will always assume
the document has just been modified if it doesn't get a Last-Modified
header, so it will always reindex everything on that site. If you have
any control over that server, I'd recommend dumping the defective HTTP
server and replacing it with one that does put out Last-Modified headers.

As the summer wears on and the storylines grow scarce I'm forced to turn to extremely unusual places for inspiration. Last night, it was late night Cinemax (not quite that late, though.) Richard Prior's remake of Brewster's Millions was on and obviously, it got me thinking about the Sixers.
If you haven't seen the movie (and you should be ashamed of yourself if you haven't), here's the plot. Prior is a deadbeat minor league baseball player, a distant relative dies and names him in his will. He's the only heir, but there's a catch. If Prior can spend $30M in 30 days without acquiring any assets, he will inherit the entire $300M fortune. If he can't, he gets nothing.
Since my mind is usually wrapped around the Sixers at this time of night anyway, I obviously put myself in Brewster's shoes and imagined the phone call I'd make to Ed Stefanski. Here's the conundrum, the Sixers are obviously limited in what they can do by the economy, but if they weren't, what would you want them to do?
Imagine you have enough money to pay for the Sixers to add one available free agent to the team. They can overpay to get him, the only catch is that he must be available (either an unrestricted free agent, or a restricted free agent), and you have to follow the rules of the CBA. Meaning, if the guy isn't named Andre Miller, Royal Ivey, Theo Ratliff or Donyell Marshall, you cannot pay him more than $5.6M. Forget sign-and-trades, just a straight up free agent signing.
Here's Chad Ford's list of the top available free agents, I used it as my guide. Here are the options I came up with.
- Lamar Odom - Full MLE offer. He's the best available player, even if he doesn't fit a need.
- Ramon Sessions - Full MLE offer. He's the best point guard available, while by no means an ideal fit for the team (he's a worse shooter than Andre Miller), he would make them better this season and ease the pressure on Jrue and Lou to run the show.
- CJ Waton - Full MLE offer, just because money is no object and this would ensure the Warriors wouldn't match. I like Watson for this team, a point with good size who can really shoot the three, he could have a home on this team for a long, long time.
- Andre Miller - If I couldn't get any of the guys above, I'd bit the bullet and pay Miller $10M for one season. Again, money is no object and I'd overpay Miller simply to keep him happy for a year, then next summer he'd be someone else's problem.
There are a couple of points to this post. First, there's really nothing to talk about in the middle of July. Second, even if the Sixers did have a ton of money to throw around, or they were willing to go over the luxury tax, there really isn't much out there that's worth spending for. Odom isn't coming to Philly, Sessions wants a longer deal. On this short list, only CJ Watson is a legitimate option (and that's only if Orlando blew the rest of their MLE on Matt Barnes).
Still, I opened this can of worms, so what do you guys think. If you could subsidize Comcast with newfound millions, who would you insist they sign?

Moore School study
The study produced the following facts, all pertinent to the year 2008:
- Visitors and local residents who took advantage of South Carolina's most famous recreational assets – its sandy beaches and ocean surf – added about $3.5 billion to the state's economy and supported nearly 81,000 jobs.
- Fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing added about $2.2 billion to the economy and supported nearly 59,000 jobs.
- The state's forestry industry exported more than $1 billion in forest products and supported nearly 84,000 jobs.
- The boat-building industry added nearly $400 million to the state's economy and supported more than 9,500 jobs.
- Mining activities added nearly $219 million to the state's economy and supported more than 2,500 jobs.
- Commercial marine fisheries in South Carolina added about $14 million to the state's economy and supported 661 jobs.
As the economy recovers from the recession and "expands in the years ahead, these impacts will grow," the report said. "Natural resources should always be considered integral to economic development."
And, well-managed natural resources have still another impact, according to the report: "Increasingly, scholarly research shows that talented people – the kind the state wants to retain – reside in places with quality natural resource-related amenities and recreation opportunities. Thus, they provide a magnet for human capital."

Explicit: Nicki Minaj Releases Music Video for Her Brand New Song - Watch Here!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Nicki Minaj released the music video for her brand new expletive-ridden track, "Lookin' A** N**ga."
The highly explicit track video features the 31-year-old sitting on a beach in sepia-tone, belting out her song, and drawing the attention of a mysterious pair of eyes.
Nicki's latest song comes from the "Young Money: Rise of an Empire" LP album, which is produced by David D.A Doman with an unannounced release date.
The video also features a look at the "Beez in the Trap" singer's icoic curves, showcasing her in a barely-there dress, as well as real machine guns. Watch the video below, but be warned: the content is explicit!

I'm running m0nowall 1.1b15 with the following setup:
(10.0.0.138) (10.0.0.100)
[adsl modem] ---(pptp)----[m0n0wall]--- LAN: 192.168.1.1/24
--- Guest: 192.168.3.1/24
The pptp link seems to work perfectly after a reboot, but after some
time (varying from an hour to several days), the link almost freezes.
The speed becomes so low that most operations (web browsing, mail
checking) time out. Some traffic still comes through though: an ftp
upload that normally takes 6 minutes finished in 2 hours.
The situation is hard to reproduce. Downloading large files seems to
increase the chances of a freeze, though.
Some observations:
- There is no significant load on the m0n0wall: load average is usually 0.
- Traffic from LAN -> DMZ is normal
- Resetting just the pptp link, by pressing "Save" in the unchanged WAN
configuration page, fixes the problem ... for an hour, a day, or more.
- The firewall log shows a large number of blocked ACK and FIN packets.
For example:
10:01:29.168096 ng0 @0:35 b 126.96.36.199,80 -> 22.214.171.124,21674 PR tcp

- I ran tcpdump on xl0 (the WAN interface that talks to the adsl modem)
and ng0 (pptp interface), however I find it difficult to analyze the
output. Running etherreal on the tcpdump output, I at least managed to
find out that:
- Traffic volume is low: it takes about 10 minutes to capture 200
- IP traffic from modem to m0n0wall is fragmented: most packets arrive
in two frames with a payload of 1480 and 36 bytes.
- There are a lot of "TCP Acked lost segment" as ethereal calls it from
my-external-ip -> some-web-site (on xl0). These are ack's that
ethereal can't match with a sent segment.
- The tcpdump of ng0 shows a lot of retransmissions, duplicate acks and
out-of-order segments.
- After resetting the connection (link now at normal speed):
- IP traffic from modem to m0n0wall is still fragmented
- There are still a lot of "TCP Acked lost segment" segments
- The tcpdump of ng0 now seems "normal".
Does anyone have a clue on what can be going on, how to fix this or how
to analyze this further? I can provide the output of status.php and the
binary tcpdumps if that helps, but I thought it would be best not to
attach binary files in my first email to this list :-)

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Thank you for your email. I kind of felt the same too.. but what scares me is that he hit the bottom and he ran out of patience with me. He said we would fight again in the future because of my persistent character and drinking problem. I did tell him afterwards I am going to change for myself. He cried a bit too, it was dark but I could see. What blew him off was that.. this Monday, I was asking him where he was/went Saturday night. He then told me what he did and told me to not contact him again. I spoke to his brother and few friends, and they think he's just irritated and I have to give him sometime, and he didn't really mean it. I will be happy with him, I feel like I took him for granted in some ways. When I heard he was planning a " guys' trip to NYC" next month, I was surprised- I thought he would be sad too, but he's keeping himself insanely busy with his work and this?? Does it look like he's trying to forget or to heal? I really appreciate your honest answer. Meanwhile, I am working out and going to church everyday to improve myself for myself :)
So since our last conversation, I have been sending few txt msgs and he has been somewhat replying. My mom knowing what's going on, she invited him over for dinner past saturday. There was check he had to get from my house too ( he was fixing my parents' bathroom prior to breakup as a gift for my parents, but hasn't finished it yet. But he's really responsible and does everything he promises) He said he would come, but at the last minute, he said he had an emergency work ( he actually did) said he couldn't make it.My mom said it's ok, she will wait... he called back around 930PM saying he was still working and he said he would come on Sunday ( yesterday).
I called him yesterday morning and asked him if he didn't come because of me. He said no, he actually had work and he's already on his way work for that day... I said ok, I won't be at home, so make yourself comfortable and come... he said ok. He called me around 6:50pm asking where I was, I said I was at church. He said I should come because it's weird for him to be there by himself. So I went but I couldn't see his eyes directly. He had conversations with my parents and laughed acting normal. He was tired so left early with my mom's leftover food and a present. I followed him outside and asked if he read my txt sent that morning ( I really want to talk about it, not only specifically about the breakup.. I know you are busy, so contact me in 2-3 weeks.) he said he didn't read it, but I know he did cuz I got the read receipt. so I just followed him to the car and asked if he was still mad. He said he's not mad, he doesn't feel a thing. He kept ignoringme, he acted like he wasn't there. he was so cold. he said I'm gonna go. I was like do you want to talk about it later? He said are you being persistent again?? I was like no.... so I backed off. He said " I'll contact later". then left.
I've been keeping myself busy, working out and church. At this point, what do you think? Does it have a chance? What should I do? I do not want to drag it longer than it has to be though. I want to be with him, but if he's that cold, what should I do?

Your browser does not support iframes.
Taxpayers are footing the bill for phone lines that county employees not only don't need, but ones they don't use and perhaps don't know even exist.
That's the consensus following last Tuesday night's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court following a pitch by a pair of salesmen from a company trying to get the county to use their service.
The man charged with the murder of an Anderson County woman is scheduled for a competency hearing next month.
Dressed in prison garb and handcuffed, Terrance Cram, 49, appeared Tuesday morning in Anderson Circuit Court where Judge Charles Hickman set the hearing for Dec. 20 at 10:30 a.m.
Cram will be evaluated by a doctor before the hearing.
The attorney for the former social services worker charged with nine felony counts of tampering with public records asked for and received a continuation in the case Tuesday morning in Anderson Circuit Court.
Lawrenceburg attorney Bill Patrick, who is representing Margaret "Geri" Murphy, said he had recently received a "substantial amount of discovery" from the state Attorney General's office, and requested time to review it before deciding how his to proceed.
The Briscoes and the Harleys share more than just the same wedding anniversary.
They've shared the same street, the same church home and the same fond memories in a friendship spanning more than 40 years.
Now they'll share the blessings of both their friendship and their marriages in a joint celebration of their 50th wedding anniversaries.
Davis and Mary Jane Cox Briscoe married Dec. 2, 1961, as did Roy and Velena Gash Harley.
Velena remembers short-sleeves and a usually warm 75-degree December day.
To many who knew Julian Birdwhistell, he was the greatest of men.
In honoring the former county clerk's memory, those who knew him remembered his faith, his service and his legacy as an esteemed member of Anderson County.
Birdwhistell died last Monday morning. He was 88.
During his services at Sand Spring Baptist Church, he was honored, eulogized and remembered as one of Anderson County's finest and most beloved citizens before being laid to rest in the church cemetery.
The Anderson County High School gym has erupted over big 3-pointers, slam dunks and heart-stopping wins for decades.
But none came close to the drama that played itself out last Saturday night during the annual Cat Madness program.
Joe and Kathy Campbell were brought to the gym floor during the event, allegedly to speak with their son, Joseph, via an internet program from where he was serving his second tour of duty in Iraq.
Black Friday? I don't think so.
How about Red Friday?
Anderson County Bearcat Red, that is.
And forget about Occupying Wall Street or any other place other than Warford Stadium on Friday night, 7:30. There is still some high school football to be played in Lawrenceburg.
The Bearcats will be hosting Southwestern, from Pulaski County, the state Class 5A semi-finals.
Read that again. The Bearcats are just one win away from the state championship game.
Visitation for former county clerk Julian Birdwhistell is scheduled for 3 to 8 p.m. today at Sand Spring Baptist Church.
Services are scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday, also at the church.
Pallbearers will be Tom Moore, Harold Case, Mark, Bob, and Scott Birdwhistell, Steve Carr, Bob Cook, and Floyd Scott. The deacons and members of Freedom/Fellowship Sunday school class at Sand Spring Baptist Church will serve as honorary bearers.
Birdwhistell died Monday. He was 88.
The city council reviewed and approved both its yearly audit and a million-dollar economic development grant to build a new water tank at its Nov. 14 meeting.
The city's net assets increased by $93,537 for the fiscal year, yet government spending increased by 11 percent, according to an independent audit of the city's finances.
The fired ex-social worker charged in tampering with public records in cases involving alleged sexual abuse of children is scheduled to appear Tuesday, Nov. 22 in Anderson County Circuit Court for a disposition hearing.
The hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m.
Margaret "Geri" Murphy pleaded not guilty in September to nine felony charges based on a number of child custody cases she was supposed to investigate between 2006 and 2010.

Dry? Yet ahead for the year
Gregory R. Norfleet
· News · September 13, 2013
The West Branch area is holding up in a moderate drought that started, officially, about two weeks ago.
The National Weather Service declared Aug. 29 that the southeast part of the Iowa is in a moderate drought, KCRG-TV9 meterologist Charlene Malin said, yet the actual rainfall for the Iowa City area is actually ahead of average, due to heavier-than-normal rainfalls in April and May.
Malin said April had more than 8 inches and May had another nearly 8 inches of precipitation, nearly twice the average for both months.
So far, the area has seen 28.26 inches of rain since Jan. 1, compared to 26.61 inches for the average, she said.
The last significant rainfall came July 25, when we received 1.06 inch of rain.
This is the driest August on record, Malin said.
West Branch Fire Chief Kevin Stoolman said the department responded to one ditch fire on Interstate 80 where the dry conditions contributed to it spreading.
Were expecting more, he said. Its really dry out there. The good thing is that there is not a lot of wind.
Public Works Director Matt Goodale said the department spent only about six hours in the past two weeks trimming, compared to about 55 hours per week during normal conditions.
The dry ground makes digging harder, and, like in freezing conditions, sometimes can cause water main breaks.
However, due to the wet spring, the citys aquifers are not so low that the city needs to ban car washing or lawn sprinkling.
City Administrator Matt Muckler said weeds are still growing, though, and some residents are getting cited for those that grow over 6 inches.
On the positive side, though, it has freed up time for other projects, Muckler said.

|The establishment of links between model or metamodel elements is present in numerous use cases of model weaving, such as metamodel comparison, model alignment, interoperability, and others. Consequently, it is of major importance to provide mechanisms to easily create these links. The creation of weaving models is typically a semi-automatic process, called Matching. The links can be created manually or with the help of different matching transformations. Matching transformations implement different heuristics to create weaving models. This use case gives a general overview of the matching process, and how it is handled by AMW and ATL. The AMW user interface provides a graphical user interface to help in the matching process. It is integrated with the ATL engine to support the execution of different matching heuristics.
|The AMW plug-in has an integrated environment to execute a set of matching transformations. They are available when clicking in the context menu of the weaving panel (the middle panel), in the "Match" submenu. Go to the download page to get the plug-in.
|These examples are complete application scenarios that combine different matching transformations to produce weaving models for different purposes. They are available in the AMW Examples page.
|This publication titled "Semi-automatic Model Integration using Matching Transformations and Weaving Models" presents the use of matching transformations and weaving models for a model integration process. It contains a general overview of the matching process, explaining the different types of matching transformations, and how they are used to create weaving models.
Executing the transformations
|This document contains additional information about how to execute the existing matching transformations, what do they do, and how they are organized.
Developing new transformations
|This document explains how to develop new heuristics and how to integrate them with the AMW plug-in. The integration of new heuristics is easily done through an extension point defined in AMW.
Ontology matching
|This project contains a set of resources about ontology matching.
Tool interoperability
|This use case shows how weaving models are used to capture the semantic heterogeneities between different tools' metamodels. We use two well known bug tracking tools, Mantis and Bugzilla.
Metamodel comparison
|This use case demonstrates how weaving models are used to compare different metamodels and to produce executable model transformations (we use two metamodels used to define embedded software in the avionics industry).
Aspect oriented modeling
|This use case demonstrates how AMW is used as an aspect oriented modeling solution to weave a generic communication protocol with specific communication types.
Bridge between SQL and KM3
|This use case shows how weaving models and model transformations are used to translate SQL-DDL (Data Definition Language) into KM3 (a modeling technical space) and to translate KM3 into SQL.
Relational DB to XML
|This use case shows how weaving models can be used to perform the data mapping between relational DBs and XML.
Merge of geographical information (GML) and statistical data
|This use case presents a weaving model used to define a merge operation between a metamodel with geographical information (an extension of GML) and a metamodel with statistical data into a graphical representation (SVG).
Model difference
|This use case calculates the differences between two models. The difference between two models is an essential process to control the changes and evolutions of models. The result of the difference is used to apply a patch in the models.
Bridge between DSL and UML Profiles
|This use case shows how AMW and ATL are used to produce a bridge between Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and UML profiles.
System Architecture (SA) management
|This use case shows how to map the overlapping concepts of different views of a complex system. It uses a System Architecture (SA) framework called DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework).

Over? Was it over when the Knicks bombed Portland? The Jeremy Lin era is over when Mike Woodson says it's over.
Apparently it is over.
Marc Berman of the New York Post writes today that the interim coach is putting the team's future in the hands of Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.
In fact, with Woodson going to a more deliberate offense and away from Mike D'Antoni's race horse style, Lin's starting job could ultimately end up with either Baron Davis or Mike Bibby.
"It's everybody's ballclub. But I want everyone to know that when it comes (crunch) time and I got to get a big shot, I'm going to Melo and Amar'e and guys who have done it," Woodson told Berman. "A lot of these guys are young and still trying to figure it out. Those guys have been around the block a number of times and have done it. They'll be go-to guys coming down the stretch.''
Said Stoudemire: "He's going to utilize his leading scorers, myself and Carmelo Anthony, make sure he takes advantage of every opportunity on the court. We've been profound scorers all our careers. He wants to make sure we take advantage of that.''

Fans of American Idol reckon the show has hit a bad note after a big change to the way the voting works.
Bosses had already brought in a fourth judge, like on the X Factor, but have now added the Judges' Save.
It means that once a series, if all four judges agree, they can decide to throw out the public vote and give a singer a second chance to survive.
Instead the singer that loses the vote will come back the next week, when there will be a double elimination.
But the change isn't popular with fans who think the decision on who stays and who goes should be left entirely to public voting.
Huge stars like Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson all started their careers on the show, but Hudson wasn't a winner.
Second chance
She finished seventh in the show, after really impressing the judges but not the public. She could have been given a second chance by the Judges' Save.
The Save can't be used once there are only five singers left, but even so, could still have a big say in who is this series' champion.

Chevelle Explain 'Hats Off to the Bull' Cover Art
Hard rockers Chevelle are releasing their sixth full-length, Hats Off to the Bull, on December 6. You can get your first look at the cover of the record, which alludes to bullfighting, below. Singer Pete Loeffler had stumbled upon bullfighting pictures online and began reading about the sport, appalled at its brutality. "It's such a heartless sport and it's so torturous for these animals," he said in a statement about the album cover. "We got the idea of rooting for the bull instead. We root for the underdog."
As for their music on the album, Loeffler says: "I'm writing about a lot of issues and emotions. When I was a kid, I used to throw on Led Zeppelin records, turn off the lights, and watch the stereo lights blink in total darkness. I'd crank it up, feel the rawness, and think about what was going on in my life at the time. I hope people can get lost in our music like that."

Did you know that there are said to have been "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World"? They were: The Great Pyramid of Giza (in Egypt), the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (in Iraq), the Temple of Artemis (in Turkey), the Statue of Zeus at Olympia (in Greece), the Mausoleum of Maussollos (in Turkey), Colossus of Rhodes (in Greece), and the Lighthouse of Alexandria (in Egypt). The only one of these wonders that has not yet been destroyed (by earthquakes or fires) is the Great Pyramid in Egypt. If you wanted to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, you would have to go all the way to the continent of Africa!
There are also Seven Wonders of the Natural World, and Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Human beings like to make lists of unique, amazing things around them. All of these "wonders" are called "wonders" because they are unusual and hard to believe. It is difficult for us to imagine the amount of work and planning that must have gone into making a monument as large and long-standing as the Great Pyramid of Giza. To stand in front of it, or to reach out and touch it with our hands – this structure that was built over 2000 years before Christ was born! That would be something very special. We would probably look up in wonder and awe at the Great Pyramid.
When the LORD explained to Joshua how He was planning to bring the children of Israel over the Jordan River and how He planned to help them conquer the wicked people living on the land there, Joshua understood that the LORD was going to fight for them and do great miracles for them. He was right. God was preparing to do great wonders on behalf of this group of people. They were not a large nation (in comparison to the nations they were fighting, their armies were small). They were not trained soldiers. And there were many things they could not do on their own – like crossing rushing rivers without drowning or losing all their belongings.
God told Joshua to lead the people across the Jordan River, and He told him how to do it. The evening before the crossing, Joshua got up in front of all the people. He told them they needed to sanctify themselves (consecrate, purify, prepare themselves spiritually), because the LORD was going to do great wonders for them!
How would you have felt if you were an Israelite the next day? What if you waited in a crowd and watched the priests set their feet in the river's current? What if you were able to see the waters start to pile up into a giant heap? What would it have felt like to walk across the riverbed on dry ground while God Himself – the same God Who created the universe and you yourself – held back the entire river? Surely you would agree with your leader Joshua: The LORD was doing wonders for you.
One reason the Old Testament tells us stories like this one is to remind us that the God Who created the world, and the God of the Israelites, and the God of all the prophets and poets and kings – He is the same God we have today. The God of the Bible is a wonder-working God. His wonders are more numerous and more marvelous than anything ever thought of or created by mankind. What a good and great Creator-Redeemer we have!
The God of the Bible is a wonder-working God.
My Response: » Do I believe the stories I read in the Bible about God's greatness and goodness? » Do I prepare myself spiritually when I am praying for the LORD to do great works? » How can I magnify the goodness and greatness of my God in front of other people?
"Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it."
Although he was an Irishman, Americans view C.S. Lewis as perhaps the most famous 20th-century Christian. Born Clive Staples Lewis on November 29, 1898, he didn't even believe in God for the first part of his life. It was not until he was 33 years old that he responded to God's grace and trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He spent the rest of his life writing over 50 books that referred to and often tried to explain the Christian faith.
His somewhat-allegorical series of children's books, The Chronicles of Narnia, are among his most famous works, and are still so popular today that some of them have been made into movies. Millions of copies of his books are still sold every year.
C.S. Lewis – or "Jack" as he preferred to be called – was born in Belfast, Ireland. He did not have an easy life. His mother died of cancer when he was 10 years old, and his father – unable to take care of him – placed him in a boarding school. The school was strict and the teachers were unkind. Lewis hated it. God got a hold of his heart, though, and amazingly, it was at this boarding school that he first read the Bible and prayed.
One of Lewis's favorite topics to talk about, both before and after his salvation, was the topic of JOY. His autobiography (a book of memoirs he wrote about his own life) is titled Surprised by Joy. In this book, he tells his story of how he came to believe that God really is the God of the Bible, and shares some of his fascination with short-term, earthly joys that point people ultimately to the solid, everlasting, heavenly joy that is found only in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He once wrote, "Joy is the serious business of heaven."
Ironically, Lewis also ended up marrying a woman named Joy. He is remembered all over the world as the writer who inspired people of all ages from all generations. He died on November 22, 1963 – the same day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
We often think of our own joy, but what brings God joy? What opportunities and gifts of grace has God been giving to you so that you might understand the Gospel better and live for the things of heaven? Are you responding rightly to the grace that God has shown you?
Matthew 13:44 – "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."
Foreordained (Chosen)
1 Peter 1:20 – "[Christ...the lamb] Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you."
Yes! Zephaniah 3:17 – "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." (See also Isaiah 62:5.)
A "doctrine" is something that is taught about a particular topic. It is a teaching. Some examples of Bible doctrines are the teachings of God's perfect attributes; the Trinity; Creationism; Scripture's inspiration; humankind's sinfulness; and Jesus Christ's ability to be the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King. Every biblical doctrine is important because God's Word is how He teaches us about Himself – Who He is, what He is doing, and what He expects of us. 2 Timothy 2:15 – "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

Coming soon: "Underneath the Lintel"
One of the most interesting mysteries I've ever seen, "Underneath the Lintel" opens Feb. 20 at the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre – and it should be a hot ticket in Milwaukee.
The one-man show features James Ridge, who has been in Milwaukee occasionally and has been a stand-out at American Players Theatre in spring Green.
In "Underneath the Lintel," a puzzling mystery begins when a Dutch librarian discovers a surprise in the overnight return slot … a travel guidebook that is 113 years overdue! The man, who has never left his native town of Hoofddorp, grows determined to track down the offender. As he travels around the world on his obsessive search, he finds himself on a journey that not only unlocks ancient mysteries, but moves him to new revelations.
Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" opened Off-Broadway in 2001 and ran for more than 450 performances. It was named one of Time Out New York's 10 best plays of 2001. It has had 150 productions worldwide in eight countries.
"Underneath the Lintel" is the final production in the "Exploring Jewish Voices" series, which is a collaboration between MCT, Jewish Museum Milwaukee and the Jewish Community Center.
MCT's 2012-13 season features two other plays by prominent Jewish playwrights: "A Thousand Clowns" by Herb Gardner and "Collected Stories" by Donald Margulies.
The three groups have partnered to provide additional education and outreach opportunities including pre-show "ViewPoints" lectures and Jewish Community Ticket performances.
"Underneath the Lintel" will be performed in MCT's Studio Theatre in the Broadway Theater Center at 158 N. Broadway. Tickets and information are available at MCT's website, chamber-theatre.com.

Date: Tue Aug 16 17:57:08 EDT 2011
Greetings, all. I'm terribly puzzled by a typed-racket error message I'm getting (I seem to be rather abusing this list today -- apologies -- but I'm busy reminding myself why it's useful not to do two interesting develoments with a project at one time). If I run the following in DrRacket: #lang typed/racket (: my-func (String String -> String)) (define (my-func s1 s2) (string-append s1 ":" s2)) (my-func "Hello" "World") (: call-func ((List String String) -> String)) (define (call-func string-list) ((inst apply String String) my-func string-list) ;(apply my-func string-list) ) (call-func '("Hello" "There")) ...I get an error message > Type Checker: Cannot instantiate non-polymorphic type ((String * -> String) (Listof String) -> String) in: apply Dr Racket also tells me that: > apply - : (All (a b) ((a * -> b) (Listof a) -> b)) Which makes sense, in that it corresponds to the message I'm seeing. Now, I don't _really_ follow the logic of Typed Racket in a fully formal way (I know, I should have another go at The Little MLer), but the only way I can really make sense of this message is if the type (String String -> String) is not a subtype of (String * -> String), or if (List String String) is not a subtype of (Listof String). Both of these would be a little unexpected. Is that the right interpretation (in which case, where could I find the hierarchy of types?); or is APPLY being more particular about its types than is appropriate? Thanks for any pointers. Best wishes, Norman -- Norman Gray : http://nxg.me.uk School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, UK

"Chris Duhon is nothing special, but at least he won't submarine the team with terrible shots and turnovers."
That sounds like a challenge Mr. Duhon!
Should've said "with as many terrible shots and turnovers as Jameer."
"The Sixers' job will be a little harder tonight because Jameer Nelson will not be playing. That's not a typo. Nelson has probably been the worst point guard in the league this season (.486 TS%, 22.5% turnover rate). Chris Duhon is nothing special, but at least he won't submarine the team with terrible shots and turnovers."
Uh...Duhon the past 2 years has had turnover rates of 30.3% and 27.6%, whereas Nelson has had 17.6% and 22.5%. He also had a TS% OF 44.6% last year. Nelson's been horrible, but Duhon's right there with bad shots and bad turnovers.
Orlando lost 4 of their last 5. 3 blowouts against Boston, Indiana, and New Orleans. They blew out Indiana on the road though, but gave up a 27 point lead to Boston the following night at home.
This team is not happy right now. If they're hitting shots, they're very hard to stop. And Dwight creates open looks. So I think it's a game of determination for them. Will they work hard and but up a fight or come in with their heads hanging low? We'll see.
The Magic are pretty much in the same situation the Nuggets were in last season. They will be much better when they trade away Howard, as unbelievable as that sounds.
Right now they are a very inconsistent team that can beat anyone on a given night, but can also lose games to the worst teams in the NBA. One thing they are probably not ready for is resilience from their opponents and i think that's the way to beat Orlando. Never give up play suffocating D on Orlando's "other guys" an you will win.
Yeah, I don't see that at all. Their entire personnel is built around Dwight and the attention he receives. Take him away, and you have some bad contracts with guys whose warts will be very present without dwight.
That is true in a way, but i also think Howards stature has made a lot of those guys extremely underestimated. Ryan Anderson for all of his shortcomings is proving to be a very good player. I think Turkoglu, Richardson and Nelson have checked out with this surrounding uncertainty and long term contracts and will play much better when the dust settles. Add that to the player/players the Magic receive in return and in the current eastern conference i can easily see that team outperforming the current one. Bare in mind that right now, the Magic are only 12-8 against one of the weakest schedules in the league with a barely positive point differential. This last part is a very telling indicator IMO considering that the Magic were year after year better than their record (pythagorean wins) and are now suddenly worse than their record.
In all honesty, without Dwight, the Magic are probably the worst team in the NBA.
It may be slight hyperbole, but not much. They'd be bottom 3-5. Who on that team is capable of creating their own shot? Maybe Jason Richardson? Ryan Anderson is a product of all the open looks he gets.
Have you seen the Bobcats and Wizards play?
They're in the same situation Cleveland was 2 years ago. Hopefully OS will play his cards the same and hang on to Howard thinking he can actually get him to resign.
If Howard makes it to FA, we have a chance, a small chance, but a chance.
They will be in the same situation if they let him walk as a free agent. Unfortunately i don't see it happening. They will trade him during the season, probably close to the trade deadline.
Denver actually had a team. A PG, C, and SG, to go along with their "superstar" SF. Orlando and Cleveland built a team of jumpshooters to compliment their stars.
They'd still be mediocre at best without Gallinari and Andre Miller (acquired for Felton), and that's before we even get to Wilson Chandler and Mozgov and the depth they provide.
They will be much better when they trade away Howard, as unbelievable as that sounds.
See, that's not a fair or accurate statement. The Nuggets got good players in back in the Carmelo trade, the reason they got 'much better' is that they became a much better team that didn't revolve around Carmelo.
If the Magic get say 4 draft picks from the nets and an injured center, I doubt they're 'much better' because their talent gets completely worse.
Carmelo hurts as much as helps his team
I agree with this. But from what i understand De Vos the owner of the Magic doesn't want a rebuilding job (he is very old), which makes it far likelier that they won't accept draft picks but valuable players in any deal involving Howard.
If i remember correctly the proposed Lopez deal that the Nets were offering to the Magic was a three team trade involving Portland and at least Gerald Wallace going to the Magic. Lopez + Wallace is an interesting start. I could easily see a lineup of Nelson/Richardson/Wallace/Anderson/Lopez led by Stan Van Gundy perform better than their current performance. They won't be championship contenders, but this current team is only a playoff team because it's in the East.
And it's unlikely that anyone is going to offer valuable players for Dwight when they know they can just let him hit the open market.
Dwight has a very short list (though maybe it's gods list) and those teams know who they are, and none of them really have 'the goods' talent wise to make a deal that makes the Magic 'happy'. The magic will be worse when they trade Dwight Howard
Well noone forced the Knicks to offer what they offered for a soon to be free agent Anthony. Doesn't mean it won't happen.
I don't like their long term outlook without Howard but short term i do believe they can be better than what they are now, which frankly is not a good basketball team.
There's a new decider in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.
It seems it's not up to Dwight where he plays, it's up to God
Approached Friday night in New Orleans after a 26-point loss to the Hornets, Howard shared his thoughts on a long-shot trade to the Bulls. "If I could play with Derrick right now and God wanted that to happen, it will happen," Howard told the Tribune. "It has nothing to do with me not wanting to play with Derrick Rose. I love him. That's my brother.'' Chicago Tribune
So the only list is the one the creator makes up, in his spare time, he'll decide where Dwight plays (which of course means he's going to denver to be part of the tebow triumverate)
In all seriousness, it sort of makes sense that someone "blessed" with Howard's physical gifts would be religious. People look for explanations for why bad things happen... and the same for when you you are the beneficiary of extreme fortune.
Pardon me (and as someone who is an MD you should too) but all of howards 'gifts' are explained by more obvious things than an invisible all powerful creator who lets numerous billions suffer (for his own amusement)?
It's a BS answer and you know it - if Dwight said yes to Chicago there's a deal to be made - now - most likely - he's ducking the question and he's using his 'faith' to duck the question - it's more spin
Don't tell that to Salmons.
I totally forgot about that, that was kind of funny. Point is, anyone with an ounce of common sense (which does eliminate many) realize that all this is BS so why do they bother because it just makes them look more foolish.
Seriously, I hope he re-signs with Orlando and someone asks him why god didn't tell him that was the plan sooner and save everyone the hassel?
"Another source of conviction in the existance of God connected with the reason and not the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibilty of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capability of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting I feel compelled to look at a first cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a theist."
- Charles Darwin, possessor of "an ounce of common sense"
Pardon me (and as someone who is an MD you should too) but all of howards 'gifts' are explained by more obvious things than an invisible all powerful creator who lets numerous billions suffer (for his own amusement)?
I usually let comments like this slide, but I feel compelled to respond this one time. Your implication that no rational, intelligent person could believe in an omnipotent God who created the universe is false. I have a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton and believe in such a God. Many people more intelligent than I believe the same.
Your claim that Howard is hiding behind his faith with regard to his future destination is a perfectly legitimate one to express and debate in this forum, but it does not have to be made with the accompanying ad hominem attack on all people of faith. Please refrain from such remarks -- which are irrelevant to the point you are trying to make in any case -- in the future.
"than an invisible all powerful creator who lets numerous billions suffer (for his own amusement)?"
Yeah, post your anti-religion rantings somewhere else
I'm not saying if it is right or wrong. But the logic goes like this:
Science can explain with random distribution why certain people will have rare physical or mental attributes. Economic reality explains why some are born rich while most are poor. If there is a calamity such as a plane or ship crash, it is often the case that a few lucky ones survive while everyone else perishes.
But if you happen to be the individual who is in that lucky situation, neither of the above give any explanation as to why you as an individual were the one that that was the fortunate one. And many people turn to faith to help them deal with the guilt/responsibility/burden of that situation.
Basically, I agree that when athletes try and tie religion and sports it come across as silly and fake. But I think the athletes are actually often trying to be sincere and actually humble. I guess it all depends on how they handle it. You have the Barry Sanders type and then you have the more brash, egocentric type.
But just because it comes of as hollow does not mean it is not what these guys legitimately think Remember, they are truly living in a different world.
This is true a lot of the time. I think of Brain Dawkins ans someone who sounded pretty sincere when he talked religion. But sometime the egocentrism and the religiosity go hand in hand. For example, I think if there is a God, he has more on his plate than helping Tim Tebow pick up a first down.
I don't really pay much attention to what Howard says to be honest. He is not the brightest guy out there, and a lot of what he says doesn't make any sense but it's obvious he just doesn't want to talk about it his future. Or he is told not talk about anything because he (and his agent) don't know what will be the best decision right now either. We probably won't be able to see what he is going to do for the next month or so. After that it should get clearer.
@preston76 Coach Collins tells media Hawes is out for tonight, while Vucevic is listed as a game time decision.
Ha welcome back, Voose. Enjoy defending Howard.
Six more fouls
Voose may not be demarcus cousins - but he does have some moves to get dwight in foul trouble
Voose does not drw fouls. He takes about 1 FT per 10 FGA. That is the lowest rate on the team. he draws less fouls then Hawes.
But I guess he can give his 6.
Well to be honest, the Sixers don't run any plays for Vucevic so he is really never in a position to be fouled. I don't his current free throw rate is indicative in any ways about his ability to draw fouls.
I think that's actually the biggest reason why players with low usage rates very rarely have good free throw rates.
He didn't exactly get to the line a bunch in college either.
I haven't seen a lot of him playing in college and i don't know how exactly he was used. His low free throw rate in college might translate to the NBa but i don't think it's a guarantee. Getting to the line is usually something that is developed with experience. I'm not saying it will happen, i'm just saying it's not a given that it won't. We have very little data to support any claim thus far.
Actually, we have very little data to suggest he'll suddenly be a guy who gets to the line a lot. We have data to suggest he won't.
Ugh. Howard just might end up with 50+ points tonight. I can't imagine how painful it will be to see Battie and Allen try to defend him.
Battie has had some success getting into Howards head. But he is only good for about 15 minutes against him.
They should sign a couple of big guys from the D-League just to throw out there as 6 foul sacrificial lambs. It is a waste to wear down Brand trying to cover him. I'd rather let the important bigs rest.
We have Speights...err, Elson, right?
The Sixers have been pretty successful this season with team defense. And I think this is the way to go against Howard as well. No big on this team comes even close to guarding Howard 1-on-1. But we're good at rotating and closing out shooters.
This team, more than any other in the league, is built to exploit the double. If Davis is in the game, fine, double off him w/ a big, but I think you're going to have to leave him alone in the post most of the time. Take the fouls when you're beaten badly, maybe dig down on him when cutters go by, but I don't want to see predictable doubles, because they will lead to open threes.
Yep, I didn't mean to suggest double teaming when Howard catches the ball. Just play smart D, don't overreact, but hack him when needed.
Sixers had better be. Magic has the bombers. Could be tired due to back-to-back & travel; should be motivated though - have lost 3 straight. With Jameer out, though he hasn't been playing well, Orlando's a little weaker at heart.
Yes they have 'bombers' who for the season shoot the 3 as well as the sixers do...
Tied for #3 in the league. But they've taken 483 (#2), the Sixers have taken 332 (#19).
The big difference is they have a four who's taking and making a ton. That's not a good matchup for the Sixers. I guess you just hope Jason Richardson winds up being the one who takes them (and he keeps shooting terribly from deep).
Yep, and I'm a bit scared because Brand does not like to go out and contest long-shooting 4s. But switching Brand on Howard is a no-go as well (foul trouble).
... but Magic goes to that well with far greater frequency; 151 more 3-pt attempts, 7.55 more per game.
And yet they only average 19th in points per game scored (wanna guess who is 4th?)
Come on guys, I'm an Atheist myself and I really like to discuss religion. But there are better sites or places to do so, then a basketball blog.
Agreed. Keep religion and politics out of it.
This is a bit more complex than that, because we're talking about whether religion will have anything to do w/ where Howard will decide to go, but personal feelings on the validity of religious beliefs don't really need to be displayed/debated.
6 fouls on Battie
6 fouls on Lavoy
4 fouls on Brand
That's 16 fouls: 32 free throw attempts * 46.4% FT = 15 points.
Hack a Howard on isos. Howard was 4/15 yesterday, with our luck he'll probably hit .65.
You forgot elson
Along the lines of the last thread, could we restrict insane speculation that Howard would sign here of all places to this thread? : )
Could we please restrict all speculation that demarcus cousins is awesome to your fevered imagination?
Only if you include Kevin Love's current TS% as your signature on every comment you leave.
It's .573 and climbing today.
So who are the only team that should be talking about Howard?
I think Dallas and Orlando are the only places he ends up
If schedules were commensurate, the comparitive scoring rankings you cite would carry more significance. As is, doesn't mean a lot to me regarding comparitive offensive potency of the 2 clubs. Tells of trends: Sixers up, Magic down (to date).
Above, in reply to GoSixers ... 19th to 4th.
Yes, we all understood it, I'm sure you'd dismiss the great defense the sixers have played, keeping teams below their season averages too.
The sixers can only play the teams in front of them
And did you happen to notice the New Orleans Hornets bitchslap the team you seem afeared of?
Sixers -7 seems a bit high given who we'll have to defend Howard.
And low considering how bad the Magic have played recently.
I think -7 is exactly where that number should be.
they've covered double-digit lines the past two games. Think Vegas is giving them a lot of leeway, especially at home. I think they cover.
The 2012 and 2013 free agent markets look pretty depressing aside from Howard and Williams.
In 2014 we might have a shot at a 30 year old Bogut and in 2015 we'll have a shot at a 33 year old injured and slower Dwayne Wade.
IMO, I think the Sixers should trade Iguodala after this season if they can't get Howard.
The 2012/13/14 free agent markets haven't been defined yet - nor is the trade market defined either.
If wade is available, wouldn't lebron be available too, didn't they all sign the same contracts?
Nobody wants Lebron. he is not "clutch" ;)
Lebron would be 31. Wade would be 33 and slowed down by injuries.
And? They'll either bee free agents or they won't - and they'll both have been in the league the same amount of time - and yes wade is injury prone - but if ones a free agent - so is the other
With the new CBA, anything is possible. We don't know how it will all pan out. I think cap space will be very valuable in trades and actually i am not even looking at who will be available in free agency i think smart trades are the way to go forward for this franchise.
I think you're right, free agency is probably not going to help us much. That's why it's important this team maintains their strong regular season record. It has inflated the trade value of our players, now it's on management to properly use this value to bring the right players here.
So the only point of this season is to increase this teams trade value? How about loyalty? Let's root for out team.
I put up a contrarian post the other day about how the Sixers have found success by shooting the long 2 at a high percentage (everyone aside from ET and Iguodala who both need to avoid shooting them.) I made the parallel to the Mavs success last year as the best shooting 16-23 foot jumper team, in the league. This goes against conventional wisdom that has all long 2's being "the worst shot in basketball."
I don't know how much I believe in this, but I guess tonight could be a great field test. In theory, the Sixers have the perfect antidote to the Magic's defense. The Sixers win without getting to the line. The win with long jumpers- which Howard has little or no effect on.
Then again, the Magic will temp the already shot long shot happy Sixers to be even less likely to enter the lane. If Howard's presence makes Lou, Iguodala and Turner more reliant on jumpers then the Sixers will suffer. Much how AI used to struggle against the Pistons when the Wallaces would close the lane.
Iguodala's attempts are so far down I don't think making him settle for more jumpers will have much of an impact. If they can make him take a lot more shots, and those long shots are jumpers, then maybe.
Who do you think is #2 on the team in FGA from 16-23 feet? And only the guy who is #4 in those attempts is shooting worse at them.
Partly, guys like Iguodala and others will be left forcing up long 2's late in the shot clock if they refuse to enter the lane or swing the ball. It could be ugly... or not.
Well many defenses' goals are to make the opposing offense shoot mid range jumpers. What usually separates the good offenses from the bad offenses is the ability to hit those shots.
Or to keep moving the ball and not settling for them.
It also depends if it is an open shot generated in rhythm or a rushed/contested jumper... and of course who is taking the jumper. A Dirk 18 open foot jumper is not a bad shot IMO. An Iguodala on is.
Not really, what often separates good offenses from bad offenses is where they take their shots. Denver, a very good offense, takes just 12 long twos a game and 33 shots at the rim. We take 24 long twos and 19 shots at the rim. They're clearly coached to take threes or to try to get to the basket, and that works out very well for them. Of course, you're limited by your personnel; Denver couldn't do that if it didn't have players like Nene, who can score 14 a night with mostly dunks.
I didn't see this contrarian post, but I don't buy the argument, because what it misses is that Dallas didn't take many of those shots at all. In fact it was just 24th in the league in attempts from there, and it took 2.3 more shots at the rim per game than long-range twos. Now, Dallas was incredibly accurate from there (45%) and probably should have taken more of those shots than shots from the 3-15 foot range, where it was a little worse at converting. But (a) Dallas would still have been stupid to take more long twos than layups or threes, (b) we don't have Dirk and Terry and, therefore, are nothing like Dallas. The Sixers are shooting 41%, which is a lot lower but still probably higher than where we'll end up, and they're shooting more long twos than threes or shots at the rim.
Oh how awesome - Big Daddy, aka the @sixers fan here - http://twitpic.com/4t3p78 - is now tweeting! Tweeps, #showyaluv to @Sixers_BigDaddy
...and the Revolutionaries are trying to get people to use the #HowardtoPhilly tag today...anyone who wants him here, help out!
I'd rather have deandre jordan on his contract than dwight howard on the one he's going to get
if he doesn't get traded and extended, howard's salary will start at $13.5M. Jordan's started at $10.7M.
Let's put it this way - dwight howards approach to improving his game since he entered the league makes shaq look downright dedicated in y opinion
Shaq had more natural ability than Dwight - and for someo reason used his strength and size advantage a lot better
It's weird how you discount eddie heady's and others' blathering about energy and heart and other nonquantifiable stuff, but then turn around and suggest that you wouldn't sign the best big man in the league just because he happens to be an underachiever. So are all kinds of useful players. I don't get what someone's unrealized potential has to do with measuring what he does give you.
Because i'm not talking about energy or heart
I'm talking about improvement in weaknesses which is quantifiable
Or do you think his lack of improvement offensively since he entered the league is acceptable?
Well, 2 things. One, he has improved; there are shots he can make now that he couldn't in his early years, he's somewhat more fluid, and stats tell us he's way more efficient than in years one and two and that over time he's taken on a much heavier load on offense. The early Dwight was incredibly raw. But two, agreeing with you that he hasn't improved much, I think that yes, it's acceptable. First of all, for all I know he's just too musclebound and uncoordinated and lacks the touch to ever develop the kind of offensive game one would like him to develop. But even if that's not the case, I'll accept a guy who's been averaging 20 points on a career .600 TS%, with 13 boards and over 2 blocks and all kinds of less quantifiable defensive contributions any day, even if I think that he could be a way better version of himself if he tried harder.
wow. He should whine his way out of town now ala Melo. This makes the NJ situation a lot worse. If they sign Dwight, they'll have enough money to sign their first round draft pick and still have 8 million in cap space.
I honestly hope this is a joke...
One changes the game, the other does not. That's like saying you would rather have Iguodala at 12M than Lebron at 17M.
You're right he changes the game - he gives a way for the opposing team to reduce the chance of a successful offensive set every time he touches the ball - put him on the line - there's a better than normal chance of a 0 point trip...i don't think he uses his strength to his advantage - and dude whines about calls more than iguodala
Dwight certainly isn't Shaq. But there's no doubt that he's the most dominant low post player in the league. In any case, I don't like his attitude. He continues to shove his teammates under the bus while talking about which teams he would most like to go to.
He continues to answer the questions asked of him - I don't really care what you think of his attitude, your comment only makes me rethink my position.

Amy Winehouse isn't all better.
Despite news that the singer was winning her battle against substance abuse, the opposite was clear to fans in Belgrade, Serbia on Saturday. In a video of the concert swirling the web, Winehouse stumbles across the stage during the show, unable to fully stand at times, according the Associated Press.
Like Whitney Houston experienced not long ago when she gave less than expected, patrons began walking out during Winehouse's performance. A representative for the singer in London announced that Winehouse has turned down her fee for the Serbian show. This situation sends a clear message that Winehouse's upcoming dates would most likely go unfulfilled.
The Back To Black singer's next concert is scheduled for Bilbao, Spain on July 8 however many believe the show will be canceled. The Brit's European run was slated to end in Bucharest, Romania, on August 15.
