Opening Day for baseball season is March 31 for Cincinnati Reds fans, and while the sport has already been hammered recently about whether or not two of the game's greatest players took steroids, none of that seems to matter to die-hard fans, including me.

ImSpartacus - Friday, October 07, 2011 - linkAnybody else think VVVVVV's music was astounding? I'm not a music guy, but I was taken aback by how catchy it was.
It's cool that more people will be able to enjoy this awesome game. Reply
Craig Getting - Friday, October 07, 2011 - linkI forgot to mention the music! It's one of the best parts of the game. Reply
tipoo - Friday, October 07, 2011 - linkThe music was amazing. Pushing Onwards has been stuck in my head for five days. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Monday, October 10, 2011 - linkAmazing soundtrack, love chiptune Reply
Pia - Monday, October 10, 2011 - linkCraig, by what standard does VVVVVV have "incredible difficulty"?
I beat it in about four hours of leisurely play, and I have only beat about one platformer in my life before that. Difficult sections in the game could be counted on one hand, and most of those felt more random and frustrating (can be "suicided through") than actually difficult. Reply
Pia - Monday, October 10, 2011 - linkAlso, holy hell this is amusing. "Lookit me, I'm so 2D and retro" game ported to a system that is all "lookit me, I'm so 3D and cutting edge"? Reply

Regional Theater of the Week: Barter Theatre, VA
BroadwayWorld.com, the largest theatre site on the Internet, is excited to announce a new feature to its comprehensive regional coverage - the Featured Regional Theater of the Week! Each week, BWW will introduce its readers to a regional theater located in one of our (over 130!) coverage cities. By exploring these different venues, their history and showcasing the production seasons, BWW continues its commitment to expand our presence in communities and cities across the United States.
This Week's Featured Regional Theater: The Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia!
Barter Theatre was founded during the Depression by an enterprising young actor named
Robert Porterfield. He and his fellow actors found themselves out of work and hungry in New
York City. Porterfield contrasted that to the abundance of food, but lack of live theatre, around
his home region in Southwest Virginia. He returned to Washington County with an extraordinary
proposition: bartering produce from The Farms and gardens of the area to gain admission to see a play.
Barter Theatre opened its doors on June 10, 1933 proclaiming, "With vegetables you cannot sell, you can buy a good laugh." The price of admission was 35 cents or the equivalent in produce, the concept of trading "ham for Hamlet" caught on quickly. At the end of the first season, the Barter Company cleared $4.35 in cash, two barrels of jelly and enjoyed a collective
weight gain of over 300 pounds.
Playwrights including Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams and Thornton Wilder accepted Virginia ham as payment for royalties. An exception was George Bernard Shaw, a vegetarian, who bartered the rights to his plays for spinach.
There are many firsts in the history of the Barter Theatre. In 1946, Barter was designed The State Theatre of Virginia, the first theatre to receive a form of recognition that is now in practice nationwide. In 1949, when Barter took a production of Hamlet to Denmark, it was funded in part by the federal government through the Department of the Interior, now the National Endowment for the Arts. Barter was a founding member of the League of Resident
Theatres, a national association of resident theatres. After celebrating its 73rd birthday in 2006, Barter is now the longest running professional Equity theatre in the nation.
Today, Barter Theatre has a reputation as a theatre where many actors performed before gong on to achieve fame and fortune. The most recognized of these alumni include Gregory Peck, Patricia Neal, Ernest Borgnine, Hume Cronyn, Ned Beatty, Gary Collins, Larry Linville and Kevin Spacey. and Frances Fisher. The list also included James Burrows, creator of Cheers, Barry Corbin, and the late Jim Varney
Barter represents three distinct venues of live theatre: Barter Theatre, Barter Theatre Stage II and The Barter Players. Barter Theatre, with over 500 seats, features traditional theatre in
a luxurious setting. Stage II, across the street from the theatre and beyond Stonewall Square, is perfect for more adventurous productions. Stage II offers seating for 167 around a thrust stage in an intimate setting. The Barter Players is a talented ensemble of actors, producing plays for young audiences throughout the year.
Throughout the year, Barter presents morning performances for students who are brought in from many states around the region, some up to 200 miles away. Barter also continues a
tradition of touring that dates back to 1933, performing throughout Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Upcoming shows at Barter include SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CHRISTMAS GOOSE, A CHRISTMAS STORY AND Santa Claus IS COMING TO TOWN. For more information or to buy tickets, click here.

Maya Angelou: Now there's a rainbow!
I had the distinct pleasure and privilege to see Maya Angelou speak at a local event last year. It is, to-date, the only time that I have been 100% captivated by a speaker. She wove a tapestry of her own life experiences, political stances, and poetry that shared the common theme of finding the rainbow in the dreary skies of life. Learning of her passing today, I immediately returned to her metaphor. I recognize that her writing, her work, her experiences, and her life will continue to be a rainbow to this world.
"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."
Maya Angelou was funny, smart, and quick when I saw her speak. From what I understand, that didn't change even up to the instant before her death. The microphone on her lapel didn't work for a time while she was speaking last year, and I never worked so hard to hear someone in my life. I'm thankful that I was close enough to make everything out. Today, I just want to sit and savor those words, and so many more that she blessed us with.
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
I recall reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings on breaks from my summer job in high school. It felt daring and bold to absorb and understand some of the complex issues she presented. Dealing with sexuality, sexual trauma, racism, barriers to education, family life and more. I think of Maya as bold and friendly, stubborn and compassionate, intelligent and curious. In so many ways, I strive to be that kind of rainbow.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
If nothing else, this woman was an activist. Her commentary changed minds, changed hearts, and changed our world. I am so thankful to have had our lives cross, and I will continue to keep her words in my mind and heart moving forward.
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude about it."

A generation of electronics is going extinct, and its death rattle sounds like a rotary phone. Or the static of a cathode-ray-tube TV. Or the banshee screech of a dot-matrix printer. For many of us, those sounds can elicit waves of nostalgia, yet as new technology becomes sleek and silent, we're in danger of losing those sense memories. Thankfully, three friends are taking steps to preserve the soundtrack of bygone eras. Welcome to the Museum of Endangered Sounds.
Since April, the digital archive—at SaveTheSounds.info—has been collecting noises from obsolete tech like floppy-disc drives and Speak & Spell toys. "We highlight sound as a trigger effect," says Phil Hadad, 28, a museum cofounder. You hear it and you're transported back to your formative years. For Hadad and his fellow archivists—Marybeth Ledesma, 24, and Greg Elwood, 27—those mnemonic bytes might be the warm descending bleeps from a Nokia ringtone or that unforgettable jagged warble of a 56K modem. ("It reminds me of wanting to throw my computer out the window," Ledesma says.)
The three operate under the collective nom de plume of Brendan Chilcutt, a futurist geek with an overbite and eight gerbils who welcomes suggestions via tweet and email. Because who else will school Gen Y's offspring in the ways of Encarta Mind Maze and the ZX Spectrum? If their project catches on, someday we'll all be nonagenarians on a front porch somewhere, idly whistling Brian Eno's startup music for Windows 95.

I am having trouble accessing the MIME-type in the getImageSize() array.
I tried adding $mime, mime and 'mime' to my list() but I kept getting errors.
Below you can see I get that information in lines 8-10, but I would expect to capture it with $width and $height in list()
Here is my code...
// Check for Image.
list($width, $height) = @getimagesize($tempFile);
if ($width && $height){
echo 'Is an Image';
// Get of Image Details.
$imageDetails = getImageSize($tempFile);
$imageType = $imageDetails['mime'];
echo '
imageType = ' . $imageType . '
';
// Not Image File.
$errors['upload'] = 'File-type must be either GIF, JPG, or PNG';
What am I doing wrong?
Have you dumped $imageDetails
echo '$imageDetails: '; echo var_dump($imageDetails) . '

';
to see the results of the should be array? What does it output?
Yes I did.
And it gives a really bizzare format...
0 => int 217
1 => int 216
2 => int 1
3 => string 'width="217" height="216"' (length=24)
'bits' => int 5
'channels' => int 3
'mime' => string 'image/gif' (length=9)
I tried something like this last night but it kept failing on the 4-6 items...
list($width, $height, $type, $dimen, $bits, $channels, $mime) = @getimagesize($tempFile);
Not so bizarre. Documented here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php
And if you look up the list function: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.list.php
We find
list() only works on numerical arrays and assumes the numerical indices start at 0.
I seldom use list. Seems fragile to rely on argument order. Just do:
$imageDetails = getImageSize('icon-valid.gif');
if ($imageDetails)
echo 'Type: ' . $imageDetails['mime'] . "\
And I'd lose the @ as well. If there is a problem with the file name itself then you should probably deal with it instead of hiding it.
That bizarre format is just a associative array that is mixing numeric and string keys. You can recreate doing:
$info[] = 217;
$info[] = 216;
$info[] = 1;
$info[] = 'width="217" height="216"';
$info['bits'] = 5;
$info['channels'] = 3;
$info['mime'] = 'image/gif';
I ran your code (from post 1) and it functioned properly.
Try echoing this directly:
var_dump($imageDetails['mime']);
What do you get? You should get
string(9) "image/gif"
It is strange that you are returning an array that contains the 'mime' key and you can't access that index?
Is to bizzare.
Why mix Numeric and Non-Numeric Indices?!
Okay, I didn't know that.
I seldom use list. Seems fragile to rely on argument order.
Just do:
I don't follow your code. I was just looking for a way to simplify my code and hopefully roll "MIME" into the LIST().
I have been fighting with getImageSize() since last night and have had a few people confirm it is buggy
Last night my code looked like this...
$tempName = $_FILES['userPhoto']['tmp_name'];
// Determine if Image was uploaded via HTTP POST.
if (is_uploaded_file($tempName)){
// File uploaded via HTTP.
// Get of Image Details.
$imageDetails = getImageSize($tempName);
// Get Image Type
$imageType = $imageDetails['mime'];
echo '
var_dump($imageDetails) = ' . var_dump($imageDetails) . '
';
echo '
var_dump($imageType) = ' . var_dump($imageType) . '
';
Whenever I tried to upload "test.php.jpg" I got this error...
Notice: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Read error! in /Users/user1/Documents/DEV/++htdocs/05_Debbie/members/upload.php on line 56
...where Line 56 strat with $imageDetails = getImageSize($tempName);
The var_dump() showed boolean false but I was still getting that error.
After playing around with other files, I finally got this same file working with no error.
This error comes and goes with no rhyme or reason...
So I switched to the new format I have now because it always seems to work, but I added the ampersand @ just in case!!
If you can explain why I was getting these random, unexplainable errors, then maybe I'd be willing to lose the @ otherwise I think it is safer to leave it?!
Oh, I know it works. But the purpose of this thread was just an attempt to streamline my code and I was hoping I could do this...
list($width, $height, $mime) = @getimagesize($tempFile);
Again, I think you misunderstood me.
See my last post above this one.
BTW, your "saving code" by splitting it into separate variables may result in less SOURCE, but it's actually more code to be executed since you're increasing memory use (more variables), executing more code (mapping the array to those variables) and on the whole making PHP work harder.
On the whole 99% of the time people use 'list' they're just making more code and slowing down execution... and damned if I can figure out why.
I'd also combine down some things...
if ($imageData=@getimagesize($tempFile)) {
echo '
Is an Image

imageType =',$imageData['mime'],'
';
} else {
$errors['upload']='File-type must be either GIF, JPG, or PNG';
[ot]also, avoid using string addition instead of delimiters on echo... it's bad practice and it can bite you if you use procedural output -- it's as bad or worse than "double quotes for nothing"
function test() {
echo 'test ';
echo '
This is a '.test().'

This is a ',test();
You might be surprised by what this outputs... and it's just a small part of why string addition in echo should be avoided unless inside a inlined evaluation.[/ot]
I don't follow your code. I was just looking for a way to simplify my code and hopefully roll "MIME" into the LIST().
Well if you really want to use list even though we both agree it's fragile then just use array_values to extract an indexed array from $imageDetails
$imageDetails = getImageSize('icon-valid.gif');
if ($imageDetails)
list($width, $height, $type, $dimen, $bits, $channels, $mime) = array_values($imageDetails);
echo $mime;
Be aware that getImageSize returns false if it's not an image so a simple if suffices to see if it worked.
And we can leave the @ battle for another day. Get the stuff working then refine.
Valid point, but being VERBOSE is better on me - the newbie programmer - so that wins out, because if Debbie doesn't understand her code then the computer won't either!!
also, avoid using string addition instead of delimiters on echo... it's bad practice and it can bite you if you use procedural output -- it's as bad or worse than "double quotes for nothing"
You might be surprised by what this outputs...
At first glance I'd say an "infinite loop"...[/ot]
I'll just stick with what I have.
But did you follow what I said above about it not always working??
That really has me freaked out...
According to the manual - which sorta contradicts itself above...
On failure, FALSE is returned.
reject note Errors/ExceptionsIf accessing the filename image is impossible, or if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will generate an error of level E_WARNING. On read error, getimagesize() will generate an error of level E_NOTICE.
That is the random issue I have been getting.
Now that I am using the format...
list($width, $height) = @getimagesize($tempFile);
// Check for Dimensions.
if ($width && $height){
// Image File.
echo '
Is an Image
';
// Not Image File.
$errors['upload'] = '
Only Images can be uploaded (i.e. GIF, JPG, or PNG)
';
}//End of CHECK FOR DIMENSIONS
...this seems to catch all files properly?!
Hey, I'm all for getting things right. But I also know that I have been chasing down phantom errors for the last 2 days and I need to be practical.
Please enlighten me if you see something I have been missing...
I created this ImageValues object for you to simplify things a little. You would copy this to the bottom of your script or you could require_one('ImageValues.php') where you copied this to a file called ImageValues.php.
This will work like storing it in the list which you were attempting to but ran into its' limitations. This object also assigns a string key to each value. The possible keys are 'width', 'height', 'type', 'dimen', 'bits', 'channels' and 'mime'. You can access them using the Image Values get() method like $o_ImageInfo->get('mime') ... (See below).
class ImageValues {
protected $width;
protected $height;
protected $type;
protected $dimen;
protected $bits;
protected $channels;
protected $mime;
public function setImageProperties(Array $imageValues){
foreach($imageValues as $key => $value){
if (is_int($key)){
switch ($key){
case 0:
$key = 'width';
case 1:
$key = 'height';
case 2:
$key = 'type';
case 3:
$key = 'dimen';
public function __get($var_name){
return $this->$var_name;
public function is_image(){
if($this->width != NULL){
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
protected function __set($var_name, $value){
$this->$var_name = $value;
You use it like this:
$imageDetails = getImageSize($tempFile);
$o_ImageInfo = new ImageValues(); //Instantiate the Image Values Object
$o_ImageInfo->setImageProperties(imageDetails); //Pass the $imageDetails Array into the object where it is parsed.
if ($o_ImageInfo->is_image() == 1){ //check it is an image
echo 'Is an Image';
echo '
imageType = ' . $o_ImageInfo->__get('mime') . '
'; //Use the Objects __get() method
// Not Image File.
$errors['upload'] = 'File-type must be either GIF, JPG, or PNG';
Here is another example of getting more of the values from the object.
$o_ImageInfo = new ImageValues();
echo $o_ImageInfo->__get('dimen'); // get images dimensions
echo $o_ImageInfo->__get('mime'); // get mime type
echo $o_ImageInfo->__get('channels'); // get mime type
Hope this helps.Steve
So you're reducing the verbosity by expanding it into new variables?!? Huh? Or are you referring to the numerical indexes? I guess I'm just not seeing how breaking it out makes it any more or less verbose...
No, the latter echo is not in the function. No looping, the latter echo just calls the declared function twice -- What it outputs is:
test This is aThis is a test
because the first one is done with string addition (periods) meaning the string has to be built by PHP before being sent to echo, running the inlined function BEFORE the echo executes... using commas as delimiters is treated as separate values sent to echo individually, which is faster, involves less shoving memory around, and means it will execute in the order most people would 'think' it should.[/ot]
Instead of doing this...
// Check Upload Method.
if (!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userPhoto']['tmp_name'])){
I prefer this...
$tempFile = $_FILES['userPhoto']['tmp_name'];
// Check Upload Method.
if (!is_uploaded_file($tempFile)){
Different example, but same concept.
I just find it easier to assign things to variables and then work with the more concisely named variable.
Back to our original conversation - and taking some of your advice - I chose this style...
// ********************
// Check File-Type. *
// ********************
if (empty($errors)){
$imageDetails = @getImageSize($tempFile);
$width = $imageDetails[0];
$height = $imageDetails[1];
$imageType = $imageDetails['mime'];
// Check for Dimensions.
if ($width && $height){
// Image File.
Well, just so you know, numerics are indexed BEFORE associatives, and list omits array values past it's index limit so...
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize(filename);
actually works.
It's funny though, what you're calling more concise and verbose I find less so, because you're not listing where it came from. The only reason I'd put it in a variable is so as to avoid calling a function more than once or calling array indexes unnecessarily -- and that's more a performance choice than a clarity one.
Also, your 'check' is broken, as if the getimagesize fails...
$imageDetails = @getImageSize($tempFile);// if this fails, $imageDetails===false$width = $imageDetails[0];// Error - imageDetails is Not an array!!!$height = $imageDetails[1];// Error - imageDetails is Not an array!!!$imageType = $imageDetails['mime'];// Error - imageDetails is Not an array!!!if ($width && $height){// Error -- $width and $height are undeclared/undefined.
if ($imageDetails = @getImageSize($tempFile)) {
$width = $imageDetails[0];
$height = $imageDetails[1];
$imageType = $imageDetails['mime'];
} else {
// not an image
Being the more appropriate approach.
Though even if I was using getImageSize, I'd not actually be using it for dimensions until AFTER I've loaded it for the resize, at which point I'd be using imagesx and imagesy. This is particularly true since some image formats do not actually return their widths or heights in pixels. (part of why getImageSize has the string with the HTML width and height attributes in it, the values can differ!)
You get a jpeg that's reporting [0]==1 and [1]==2, when the size string is width="150" height="300" you'll know what I mean.
I'm dying on this...
I have spent the last 2 1/2 days on my "upload.php" and most of my time has been spent on the whole damn "Is this a valid image?" and every new article I read or new person I speak to tells me to go a different way...
I don't follow you...
In your code above, if the Upload File (i.e. $tempFile) is not an Image File, then @getImageSize($tempFile) becomes FALSE - assuming it works correctly - and then $imageDetails would become FALSE...
So how then is there any difference between your code and mine because now $imageDetails[0] would have no logical meaning, right?
(And I have stayed away from fileinfo() because everything I read says it is poorly supported and buggy at best?!)
I would post my entire - to date - upload.php script here, but I fear you'd make minced-meat out of it...
(Why in the hell don't they make better functions for what I am trying to do?! This entire thing should be handled in one line of code, not 2 1/2 days of waffling...)
I am trying my damnedest to create an Upload Form that is SECURE but this just seems sooo complicated between PHP and Apache and all of the things that can go wrong!!!
From post #13 the code should be:
$imageDetails = getImageSize($tempFile);
$o_ImageInfo = new ImageValues(); //Instantiate the Image Values Object
if ($o_ImageInfo->is_image() == 1){ //check it is an image
echo 'Is an Image';
echo '
imageType = ' . $o_ImageInfo->__get('mime') . '
'; //Use the Objects __get() method
// Not Image File.
$errors['upload'] = 'File-type must be either GIF, JPG, or PNG';
and the other examples should be
$o_Img = new ImageValues();
echo $o_Img->__get('dimen'); // get images dimensions
echo$$o_Img->__get'mime'); // get mime type
echo $o_Img->__get('channels'); // get channels type
For a relative newcomer to PHP you have been doing quite well. File handling is a frustrating experience in PHP and it is by no means easy, so it is not unusual for someone to spend days working an upload script out, and many developers fail to weave the security into their forms so you have added even more complexity - important yes, but also complex.
Please stick with it.
I'm sorry you are frustrated... hopefully we on this forum do not further add to your confusion; although this can be hard as we all have our own ways, beliefs and experience.
Which means the if statement sees that FALSE and it's ELSE condition triggers... rather than wasting time trying to create THREE variables that shouldn't even have values plugged into them in the first place. (since NONE of those should resolve).
In yours -- you are trying to do an array access on a variable containing a boolean false; If PHP was a REAL programming language it would halt and throw a syntax or typecasting error, but because PHP is TOO STUPID to do that, it silently throws an error in the background (filling up your error log) and plods along like nothing went wrong (one of the things I dislike about PHP -- firm believer all errors should be fatal unless manually declared otherwise!)... Also why your use of @ is a bit dangerous, since you've turned off error reporting AND ignored the resultant error state of the function!
Your code should be throwing at LEAST four warnings and possibly some fatal errors... and would if PHP bothered with typecasting rules.
More than that though -- one of the most important things about using IF statements is that they should go 'as far outside' setting variables as you can -- that way you aren't allocating memory and running code you don't have to. Since the function to even pull up the values returns false on a non-image, trap it there... don't start trying to access values that don't even exist and try assigning them to variables if you don't have to. Likewise, why run two comparisons when one will do the job? (which is what that logical 'and' is doing).
Of course someone from the peanut gallery will pipe in with that lame "premature optimization" excuse -- then wonder why all their applications are slow as molasses monstrosities choking quad xeons to death.
Welcome to why it has historically been THE number one exploit hole in forum and CMS software. You're talking about letting users upload files to your server, basically unsupervised and untrusted... and it's VERY hard to take untrustworthy user data and wrap security around it -- many MANY times more so when you are talking an entire FILE. One PHP file renamed jpeg and one directory path exploit in your system, and poof, exploit in action.
It is complicated -- that's why it's called work and not happy happy fun time -- it's why so many people just sleaze by on a off the shelf solution without ever learning how this stuff works under the hood - leading to why they usually aren't qualified to say if what they choose is secure or even worth using in the first place -- biting them in the backside sooner or later.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Walters, Davis among Nats sent to Minors
VIERA, Fla. -- The Nationals made their third round of cuts Monday, optioning pitchers Ryan Perry, Erik Davis and Yunesky Maya, infielder Chris Marrero, catcher Jhonatan Solano and outfielder Corey Brown to Triple-A Syracuse.
In addition, pitcher Ross Ohlendorf and infielder Zach Walters were reassigned to Minor League camp.
Of the players sent down, Walters and Davis stood out.
Walters was 11-for-37 (.297) with two home runs, four RBIs and a .459 on-base percentage this spring. Walters, the Nats' No. 14 prospect, made some adjustments, changing his stance and getting more upright at the plate, which he says allowed him to see pitches better.
"He reminded me a lot of where [Ian] Desmond was at a couple of years ago. I like his upside," manager Davey Johnson said. "He has tremendous ability and he is learning how he is. He knows what he needs to do. I think this spring has been good for him.
"I enjoyed having him here and expressing his talent. He has a better idea who he is and what he can accomplish. That's a good thing. He just needs to play and gain experience from that. He has a great future."
Walters said he was thankful to blend in with the big league team.
"It was hanging with the guys, seeing this kind of team and this winning atmosphere," Walters said.
Davis will be a reliever for Syracuse and is expected pitch in the late innings. In seven spring games, he allowed one run in eight innings and struck out eight batters.
"Prior to last year, he was a starter, I know he was a little amped up and I congratulated him on getting a save up here. He has big league stuff," Johnson said.
Davis came into camp knowing that he wasn't going to make the big league club, but he plans to improve his fastball command while in the Minor Leagues.
"I'm very happy with my first spring," Davis said. "I came in knowing this team was pretty loaded, so the chances of making this team were very slim. This is first time I was pitching in front of the big league staff. I wanted to put forth a good showing [so they] know that if something happens this year, they can call on me."

Heritage Foundation Questions Supremacy of Robed Federal Goons
If you follow conservative politics, you should be familiar with the Heritage Foundation.
Heritage was probably the most influential Washington D.C. think tank during the Bush Administration. It has long acted as a cheerleader for all kinds of federal power usurpations and rightfully received criticism for proposing legislation that was basically a forbearer for Obamacare. Heritage also frequently criticizes the principles of nullification. The organization often acts as a conservative wolf in sheep's clothing, advocating for unlimited federal power.
That's what makes Is the Supreme Court the Final Word? by Rich Tucker, extra surprising. Tucker writes, "Supreme Court decisions are crucial, but they are not the final word. It's our duty as American citizens to keep pushing back, through all three branches of government, against any proposal that violates the Constitution. That's the way to make sure our union can endure for another 225 years."
The article gets even better from there. Tucker argues that pushback "works at the state level as well" listing ballot proposals as a way to circumvent Supreme Court rulings.
It's unfortunate that he didn't bring up the Jefferson-Madison-approved rightful remedy of nullification, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. Here we have a conservative think tank actually suggesting that Supreme Court justices are not our overlords, their words are not canon, and that we should fight for constitutional government regardless of what asinine opinions they might offer.
It is this line of thinking the Tenth Amendment Center has pushed since its inception. Still, we should remain skeptical and ask questions about this new tact from Heritage. You have to wonder, why is it opening its mind to the idea of resisting the courts all of a sudden? Why are these folks changing their tune? How come it has taken them so long to come to these conclusions when the answers are clear within the writings of the Founding Fathers?Details

There are moments in his new documentary film where you forget that Kevin Spacey is a world famous, Oscar-winning star.
NOW: In The Wings On A World Stage follows the actor on his 10-month international tour of Shakespeare's Richard III as he marvels at the cities he visits - from Beijing to Doha - and jokes around with his cast mates backstage.
At other points, however, you're reminded that this leading man isn't just a jobbing actor, but a fully fledged A-lister.
When the play - directed by American Beauty's Sam Mendes - comes to Italy, Spacey takes the transatlantic troupe on a luxury yacht trip along the stunning Amalfi Coast. His co-stars, one of whom has never left the United States before, cannot believe their luck.
Spending months together in close quarters in nine different cities, the cast "became a family", says Spacey, who is currently back on stage at London's Old Vic (where he's been artistic director for the past decade) in the legal drama Clarence Darrow. He's nursing a supersized takeaway coffee to keep him pepped up ahead of his opening night performance that evening.
"There is something about the ritual of coming to work every day, with the same group of people, and you're all up for what you're going to do that night, or that afternoon. You're not doing it for money - you're doing it because you love it," the California-raised star explains in his soft, distinctive drawl.
"The act of coming together every night and joining to share a story with an audience, and that they then become part of that experience, is one of the most powerful things that an actor can ever experience."
And woe betide anyone who breaks that spell. Hours after we meet, he reprimands a theatregoer whose mobile phone rings during an important courtroom speech, warning: "If you don't answer that, I will."
The 54-year-old has a commanding presence which we see put to good effect in Richard III, and on screen as the ruthless politician Frank Underwood in the hugely successful Netflix series House Of Cards.
He credits the late Jack Lemmon - who became his mentor after the pair appeared on Broadway together, early in Spacey's career - with instilling in him the importance of leadership.
"[What] Jack always believed, and he passed down to me, was that when you're playing the leading role, it's not just a leading role, it's a leadership role. You can have a lot of influence on the environment, by doing your best, and always being there and always being ready and always being prepared, because that's what a company needs to see."
He adds: "And part of doing all those things I just described is having a great time, being a bit of a prankster and making people laugh. To never forget that what we do is play, what we do is pretend, and what a remarkable thing we get to do with it."
Despite the evident close bond forged between the Richard III cast, Spacey had no problem adjusting back to day-to-day life after the tour.
"I'm the kind of actor that when I hang up the costume at night, I hang up the whole experience.
"You miss individuals, you miss people, you miss coming together as a company every day, but the nice thing about having the film NOW is, particularly in the company of Richard III, it's captured this experience that we had all over the world. It's really kind of wonderful to have that on film."
Besides, just three weeks after the final curtain call on Richard III, Spacey was on set for the first series of House Of Cards.
He'll soon be reprising his role as Underwood for the third series of the show, which is a remake of the 1990 BBC political thriller.
He's also filmed a sequel to Horrible Bosses, the 2011 comedy in which three friends plot to murder their managers.
Spacey plays a vile character who gets a kick out of tormenting his staff, while Jennifer Aniston is returning as a nymphomaniac dentist.
Fairly far removed from Shakespeare, but Spacey can see some similarities.
"I think there's murder happening in it, horrible people in positions of power being abusive - Yes, I think there's probably a lot of Shakespeare in it..." he says, smiling.
One project he has no plans to star in is Mendes' next Bond film, despite rumours to the contrary.
"I don't know why people keep writing stories about something which is just not true," he says, somewhat frustrated.
"Literally, we've told them in all honesty, if I was doing a James Bond movie I would want to tell the world. I'm not doing a James Bond movie, no one's offered me a movie, no one's even shown me a script, Sam Mendes has not called, so I don't know where this story came from. I wish it was true, but it's not."
People would love to see him in one, though? "They'll keep making Bond, and I'm still working, so maybe some day we'll come together. I don't know."
For all the high-profile screen roles, the stage keeps luring him back. He'll continue working at the Old Vic until autumn 2015, and there's no doubt Spacey will still tread the boards for years to come.
"There are a number of things theatre offers that film doesn't. One is becoming a member of a company. When you're in a movie situation, nobody's working on the same day, sometimes you work with one actor one day and then you don't work with them again for six weeks," he says.
"I suppose the biggest difference for me is that, I always think, no matter how good an actor may be in a movie, they'll never be any better, it's frozen in time.
"In theatre you can be better. I can be better tomorrow night than I was tonight, I can be better in two weeks than I am tomorrow night. That's the joy of it; the experience of always making it better."
:: At the age of 13, Spacey met Jack Lemmon at a workshop for young actors. Lemmon spotted potential in the teenager, and advised him to go to New York and study acting.
:: In 1979, he enrolled at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York. His first professional stage appearance came two years later, playing a spear carrier in a production of Henry IV during the New York Shakespeare festival.
:: He got his chance to work with his idol Lemmon in 1986, when he played his son in a production of Long Day's Journey Into Night.
:: In 1998, he picked up several awards for his performance in a Eugene O'Neill play, The Iceman Cometh, which transferred from London's Almeida Theatre to the Old Vic.
:: In May, it was announced that British director Matthew Warchus will succeed Spacey as Old Vic artistic director in autumn 2015.
:: NOW: In The Wings On A World Stage is in cinemas from Monday, June 9, and available to download from June 10 via nowthefilm.com

In-person prevention programs that focus on working with small groups of participants and building their awareness and skills about sexual violence using a bystander framework are the type of bystander focused prevention that has been around the longest. Initially developed by Jackson Katz and the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program using a social justice approach, many versions of such programs now exist. Unfortunately to date evaluation research on these programs has not kept pace with their development. This has begun to change and increasing numbers of program evaluations are appearing in the published literature. Here are a few examples of programs:
1. Mentors in Violence Prevention - implemented with high school communities, college campuses, the military, professional athletes. http://www.jacksonkatz.com/mvp.html http://www.ncasports.org/programs/mentors-in-violence-prevention.shtml Several evaluations with high school students have been conducted. Attitude changes shown.
2. Bringing in the Bystander - University of New Hampshire www.unh.edu/preventioninnovations Evaluations with college students have been conducted. Program changes attitudes and increases prosocial bystander behavior.
3. Alan Berkowitz ResponseAbility http://www.alanberkowitz.com/
A key aspect of community education is community relevance. Thus, many individual communities have been adapting components of these and other programs to create their own bystander education. Share your examples here - what aspects are unique to your community? What might be the common factors?

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Oscar the Grouch, born in the early twentieth century, has become a well-known face around the popular Sesame Street. But unlike the other monsters, who have a reputation of being happy and friendly, Oscar has gathered a reputation for being grouchy. This begs the question; "Why would a man who lives on the happiest place on earth come off as grouchy?" Well, those who ask this are ignorant, and lack insight into this monster's life. A life which is more torn and twisted than this world itself. If only more people knew his story, they would come to see why he can be more or less angry at times. But sadly, this isn't the case. His life has brought him down and as he withers away from this world which has forsaken him, he leaves with the infamous nickname, Oscar the Grouch.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2013 (1475 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I became addicted to porn in high school and I still don't find "real sex" with my live-in girlfriend anywhere near as exciting as what I find online. I'm not supposed to be viewing porn anymore, but it's pretty easy to see it on my iPhone and my girlfriend never gets access to that. It stays in the locked glove compartment of my van. Am I still addicted? No, I'd say, because I have to go out to my van on breaks at work or at lunchtime during the week, and it's kind of risky. I don't do it more than three times a week. On weekends, I'm at home with my girlfriend or out with friends. Sometimes I want to break up with my girl so I can get back to having free access to my porn at home. Is that sick? Most guys would give their right arm for a girlfriend that looks like mine does. -- Never Really Satisfied Anymore, Winnipeg
Dear Never Satisfied: Well, you certainly get points for being honest, and you're not alone. People who get hooked on Internet porn, and all the fake drama that goes with it, sometimes find real sex with a partner emotionally satisfying, but physically dull. Ironically, their real-life partners can also find real sex with a porn-addicted partner boring. Why? Because the addict doesn't even try to have wild fun. Theyre just going through the motions -- between exciting sessions with the screen -- where they can fantasize being the wild man with the enhanced body parts, with the wild female stranger who's screaming for him. Fantasy on screen often comes closer to fantasies of the mind than regular sex. It's up to you to try to bring some of these fantasies into your real love life as long as they are negotiated ahead with your partner, who may be delighted, or disgusted. Take a chance. She may be bored with you, too.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am appalled by the women who write your column looking for an excuse not to sleep with their husbands once they reach menopause. They want to move right out of the bedroom because they get night sweats. That's ridiculous! I am the same age as my wife and I'm not looking for an excuse to reject her or stop having sex with her just because she's getting hot flashes and night sweats. I committed my life to her and I'm not backing away now because she has a little grey hair and a fat stomach. She's still the woman I love and desire. I don't look anything like the guy she married, either, with my big stomach and no hair, but I am still that hot guy underneath. What is wrong with people these days? Go with the flow, people. Marriage is about staying close, and moving out of the bedroom is the beginning of the end. -- Loving Her Forever, Fort Garry
Dear Loving Her: You make sense. I hope your wife stays as steadfast and loving as you clearly are towards her.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I would like to made a comment about the lady with menopause problems. I used to have very troubling symptoms: sweats, being cold, and most annoying, mood swings and just wanting to scream. It was driving me to distraction until I saw an ad regarding a menopause seminar. I went to the seminar and then made an appointment at the Mature Women's Clinic at Victoria General Hospital. To make a long story short, I was soon back to normal. -- Hormonal Relief, Winnipeg
Dear Relief: Thanks for sharing your tip. Here is a link: www.vgh.mb.ca/mwc/clinical_menopause.html
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Menopause problems? Talking from experience, using a salad dressing made with apple cider vinegar helps and taking vitamin E helps symptoms. The lady who wrote can find apple cider salad dressings on the Internet or can change her regular vinegar to apple cider with equal parts sugar, vinegar and oil. -- Been There, Used That, Winnipeg
Dear Used That: Thanks for the recipe, but please write back and say how much it took to have the desired effect for you.
Please send questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

Superbowl Sunday – The Perfect Teachable Moment
Dear Engaged Bystander: Jackson Katz wrote a wonderful article for the Huffington Post called "What to Say to Boys and Men about Big Ben." In the article, he outlines 11 excellent points about how to talk about Ben Roethlisberger, the star quarterback of the Pittsburg Steelers. For those of you who might not remember, Mr Roethlisberger was accused of raping a young woman in a bar bathroom while his bodyguards stood outside to prevent anyone from going in.
Before you watch the Superbowl this Sunday, read this excellent article. He talks about the importance of:
- Leadership, on and off the field
- Taking responsibility to stand up to people who mistreat others
- The role that teammates and friends can play in preventing sexual violence
These points are also summarized by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape.
This article provides the overview of what needs to be said to every boy and man and I would add, every girl and woman as well in America. I also would add encouragement to also have a conversation about the incident before or after the game. What Jackson Katz emphasizes so well is the impact that all of us can have on the prevailing beliefs of our friends and family. But a conversation might sound a little differently than the article. So if it is helpful, here are some questions you may want ask:
- Did you hear about the incident? What was your reaction? Does your reaction change or would you feel differently if the woman was your best friend, your sister, or your daughter?
- What did you think about his suspension for four games at the beginning of the season? Are there other ways that the NFL could have sent a strong message that sexual violence is not acceptable?
- If the Pittsburg Steelers wanted to take on a leadership role in the fight against sexual violence, what could they do with the national focus on their time during the Superbowl?
I am sure there are many other questions to ask. But if you can, take the time to bring some attention to this issue, before, after or in the right households even during the game.
Jackson Katz, Ph.D., is the creator and co-founder of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program, the leading sexual and domestic violence prevention initiative in college and professional athletics. For more information, visit www.jacksonkatz.com.

Vogelsong, Giants overmatched by Kershaw
San Francisco shut out by Dodgers' ace, falls to second place
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ryan Vogelsong has been hampered by a slew of bad luck throughout this season -- seeing-eye grounders, illness and historically inept run support, to name a few. A new culprit reared its ugly head on Saturday night:
The sun.
Vogelsong was perfect through 3 2/3 innings when Adrian Gonzalez smacked a fastball a few steps to Hunter Pence's left in right field. Only problem was, given the early 6:05 start, the sun had yet to disappear to the west of AT&T Park, and Pence never saw the ball.
Gonzalez reached second base and scored what'd prove to be the winning run one batter later, as the Giants lost both the game, 5-0, and their slim National League West lead to the Dodgers, who were powered by another brilliant outing from ace Clayton Kershaw.
"We're not going to start blaming it on that stuff," said Vogelsong, who was saddled with the loss after the Dodgers tagged him for four runs (two earned) on eight hits in six innings. "I do believe there is some luck involved in this game, but at the end of the day, I feel like you create your own luck most of the time. A lot of that comes from making good pitches and setting guys up. It does seem that way, though, that nothing's gone my way for a while."
With Kershaw on the mound for Los Angeles, the Giants' chances of winning pretty much disappeared along with the ball in the sun. Kershaw was his usual dominant self, as he allowed just two hits while striking out seven in a shutout along the shores of McCovey Cove.
His latest Cy Young-caliber outing lowered his career AT&T Park ERA to 0.69 (six earned runs in 78 2/3 innings) -- the lowest ERA among any pitcher who has thrown at least 75 innings there. Four of his nine career shutouts have come against the Giants.
One night after being dominated to the tune of four hits in seven innings against Zack Greinke, the Giants fared even worse against Kershaw. The Giants had just four baserunners: Michael Morse walked in the fifth, Joaquin Arias reached on an error in the sixth, and singles from Gregor Blanco (first inning) and Morse (seventh inning) were their lone hits.
"He was good; he's always good," Pence said. "He did good and we didn't hit him good. He won today.
"I don't know how to define it; he's just good."
So, that'd appear to make Kershaw the antithesis of Vogelsong's luck. Though, according to Vogelsong, that's his fault.
One batter after Gonzalez's sun-aided double, Vogelsong was again stricken with misfortune, as Morse failed to corral a broken-bat blooper to left from Hanley Ramirez, which dropped to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.
A trio of singles doubled that lead in the fifth. After Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp reached to leadoff the inning, Juan Uribe scored Crawford with a single to left. Given the opponent, the game got out of hand as the Dodgers' lead again doubled to 4-0 in the sixth.
"You can talk about Hunter losing a ball in the sun, but it wasn't a good pitch -- the ball was in the middle of the plate and up. If I throw the ball where I want to, he probably doesn't even hit it over there," Vogelsong said. "Hanley broke his bat and hit one down the line. I haven't looked at it yet, but I'm assuming the pitch probably wasn't in a very good spot, because if I throw it where I want to, there should be no contact. It's on me. I've got to make better pitches and that's all there is to it."
When you fail to score, it doesn't really matter how the other team scored, just that they scored. Vogelsong would know, since the Giants have failed to provide him with a run of support in five of his last six outings.
"Vogey's had some tough luck. Not just this start, but in a lot of starts, things have just gone awry for him," manager Bruce Bochy said. "He gave us a chance and eventually the game got out of hand. When you're going up against one of the best, you're going to have to find a way to scratch and claw for runs and hope your pitcher is on top of his game."

In recent years, the Education community has focusing increasingly on making all web content accessible to individual individuals with disabilities. Adobe® is an industry leader in accessibility and supports the creation of outstanding web experiences by encouraging web developers to produce rich, engaging content that is accessible to all. Adobe has also been focusing on this important task by improving and facilitating accessible content creation and consumption with its powerful design applications and productivity tools.
The information below references resources on our website that can help educators and authors understand the need for creating accessible content for an increasing diversity of users and screens. Not only will content creators learn more about how to optimize their workflows and effectively design a document that not only looks good, but they can also improve the experience as all users on a variety of screens and devices.
What is Accessibility?
Accessibility involves two key issues: first, how users with disabilities access electronic information, and second, how web content designers and developers enable web pages to function with assistive devices used by individuals with disabilities.
For the user with a disability, the challenge is to identify tools that provide the most convenient access to web-based and other electronic information. For the web content designer/developer, the challenge is to remove the obstacles that prevent accessibility tools from functioning effectively. In many cases, these challenges are relatively simple to overcome, but sometimes the solutions require some additional thought and effort.

Remembering Bingham Ray
The film world lost one of its most colourful and passionate characters this week when Bingham Ray died at the age of 57 after a stroke at the Sundance Film Festival.
A couple of years ago at Toronto, I sat opposite Bingham Ray at dinner and he talked me through the screenplay of The King's Speech. It was a project he was desperately keen to finance through Sidney Kimmel Entertainment (SKE), the company he worked for at the time, but SKE had just decided to refocus on genre product and, despite Ray's enthusiasm, it fell through the cracks.
There are two things I want to stress about that dinner. When I say, he talked me through the screenplay, I mean he walked me through it scene by scene to the point where I lived the entire movie. I hardly got a word in edgewise and barely spoke to anyone else at the dinner. And when I say enthusiasm, I mean giant-sized enthusiasm, childlike enthusiasm, Bingham Ray-style enthusiasm. Boy, did he love this script.
But in the many years I knew Bingham, he was always full of beans about a project, a director, a festival, a film he had seen. He loved critics and journalists, and loved chewing the fat with us. For three years, he and I sat together on the foreign language committee of the Independent Spirit Awards and had such fun watching the films and analysing them. His passion was legendary because it was so heartfelt and genuine. His love of film was, after all, what drove him and he combined it with a passion for the business and the people in it. The successful films he steered in his career – Secrets And Lies, The Apostle, Hilary And Jackie, Breaking The Waves, Bowling For Columbine and Hotel Rwanda among them – showed how skillfully he combined his dedication to the art with expertise in marketing and distribution.
The news of his death this week at Sundance, a festival with which he was so closely associated, was a crushingly sad end to a nervous weekend where nobody quite knew the extent of the damage caused by a stroke. The loss of a figure so central to the independent world has left his many, many friends, colleagues and admirers stunned. How could we be deprived of such a charismatic, infectious, mischevious personality, especially since he had just started a new chapter in his career as the executive director of the San Francisco Film Society? He was finally committing to the west coast, although typically not Los Angeles.
He had some hard knocks in recent years. After running October Films and United Artists, he couldn't find a big production/distribution gig suited to his experience and talent; he consulted for a number of companies but he was itching to be back in the game, finding movies and finding ingenious ways to make them work. Now he was 57, the San Francisco job offered him a new role in charge but it was no less exciting for him to be steering a non-profit. He relished the challenges and immersion back in the programming world where he started at the Bleecker Street Cinema in 1981.
His life was far from drama free – who can forget that near-fatal car accident? – but drama was part of the Bingham character cocktail, along with everything else. He was an authentic film industry "character", a determined maverick, a sporadically successful comedian and a warm-hearted friend.
Everyone at Screen sends heartfelt condolences to his wife Nancy King and his three children.
Readers' comments (2)
A truly sad loss. When I was trying to finance my first film as ayoung producer he read the script, liked it, and then told me "Shoot the movie, or shoot yourself" . We ended up making it for buttons, but we made it. Two years later the film premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh, two years after he had laid down the gauntlet. He bought me a beer...
Great piece Mike and I can just picture that dinner. I'll bet you barely ate! He could hold anyone enthalled once he let rip. Thank you.

|Afloat in Myanmar
A couple's adventurous voyages in Southeastern Asia reveal a water wonderland.
By C. Lincoln Jewett — November 2002
Venturing behind the slightly opened "iron curtain" around Myanmar, a country the size of Texas and once called Burma, led to unexpected and delightful yachting interludes for my wife Truda and me. One took place at picturesque Inlay Lake amid curious "floating" farms and stilt villages. Another was a cruise on an elderly, 100-foot cargo/passenger vessel on the 1,300-mile Irrawaddy River.
Friends have asked, "What triggered you and your wife to go boating in Burma of all places?" Well, we grew up in an era when Rudyard Kipling and his poem "On the Road to Mandalay" were well-known. Plus there's the lore of The Burma Road in World War II, and boating on "great rivers and lakes" in our own boat as well as commercial vessels has provided us a fun way to get to know a country. We've "done" sections of Egypt's Nile, the Yangtze and Li in China, the Mekong in Vietnam, the Mississippi, the Tennessee, the Ohio, the Hudson, the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the Erie Canal. Inlay Lake and the Irrawaddy added to our collection of fascinating waterway adventures.
Inlay Lake, in central Myanmar, is about 15 miles long, up to seven miles wide, and some 3,000 feet above sea level. On it, surrounded by 5,000-foot mountains, we marveled at hundreds of arrays of floating "hydroponic" farms among scattered bamboo-and-thatch stilt villages, somewhat like a pastoral version of Venice, Italy. Interspersed among this venue of native agri-commerce are imposing, pagoda-style temples with sizes and vintages analogous to European cathedrals.
In a dawn haze, we gingerly board a sliver-thin—just four feet wide—30-foot wooden longboat along with our Myanmarese lady guide and a young, handsome, smiling driver. He cranks up his Asian-style outboard motor: a swivel-mounted tractor engine on top of the transom with a seven-foot-long propshaft extending aft from the engine, allowing the propeller to operate on the surface and making an imposing rooster tail.

A man has been charged with false imprisonment and indecent assault following attacks on two women in Brunswick earlier this month.
Police say the first attack occurred on Saturday, May 10, in Stuart Street, Brunswick, about 1.15am.
It is believed the woman, 22, was walking along the road when she was indecently assaulted. She managed to escape and run back to Sydney Road, where she flagged down a friend who was passing by in a cab.
About an hour later, it is believed that another woman, also 22, was attacked on Charles Street after a man wrestled her to the ground. She pulled herself free and ran home.
A 37-year-old Brooklyn man was charged on Tuesday and has been remanded to appear later the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

The Timberwolves entered Friday night's game at 37-37 on the season, but only 15-22 on the road. The Miami Heat have pulled into virtual tie with the Indiana Pacers for the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference over the past week and came into Friday's game with a 30-6 home record.
There were a boatload of injuries to report going into tonight's game. For the Wolves, Nikola Pekovic (ankle) and Kevin Marin (sore right foot) were unavailable. The Heat were without Dwyane Wade and Greg Oden. Adelman sent out Rubio, Barea, Brewer, Love, and Dieng to start the game. The Heat countered with Mario Chalmers, Toney Douglas, LeBron James, Udonis Haslem, and Chris Bosh.
First Half
Fast start for both teams who flew up and down the court for the majority of the first six minutes of the quarter and heading into the first timeout. The Heat held a 16-12 lead going into the break as both teams displayed a balanced attack on offense and defense. It is worth noting that Gorgui Dieng stood out once again with four buckets early and strong effort on both ends of the floor. (In case you missed the article from earlier this week, we talked about Dieng's emergence in recent weeks.)
At the end of the 1st quarter, the Heat held a 29-24 lead. The Wolves were able to cut a 10 point lead in half in the final few minutes of the quarter. However, it could have been worse for the Heat, as the Wolves struggled from three point range (0-4) and free throw line (2-7) in the quarter.
Minnesota continued their strong play in the beginning of the 2nd quarter, taking a three point lead with a little over five minutes to play in the half. Unfortunately for Pups fans, the Heat flipped the switch and went on a 13-0 run to retake a 10 point lead, 52-42. Coming out of a timeout, the Wolves ripped off 10 in a row to tie the game at 52 and did enough to stop LeBron at the buzzer. Here are a few halftime thoughts:
- Very nice flow to the game and nice to see the Wolves not fold their hand when they went down by 10 points (either time)
- Shabazz Muhammad injured his knee in the first half and would not return to action
- Another strong performance from Dieng, but a surprisingly strong performance from Chase Budinger
Second Half
Kevin Love came to life about midway through the 3rd quarter, scoring 8 straight points for the Wolves and helping them build a 70-63 lead. That run seemed to wake up LeBron a bit as he went on his own little run, scoring 12 points in a row for his team. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the Wolves held a 77-75 lead. It could have been even more damaging as LeBron missed a three pointer at the buzzer and that would have very likely caused the arena to explode.
A returning from injury Ray Allen apparently needed a few quarters to get his legs under him, as the lethal shooter hit back-to-back three pointers to tie the game at 82 with under 9 minutes to go. Combined with his old Sonics counterpart (Rashard Lewis) the Heat took a 1 point lead before JJ Barea and Budinger hit back-to-back three pointers of their own to give the Wolves their own 5 point lead.
The remainder of the 4th quarter can be best described as "chaos". Both teams would go on runs, then both teams would stink up the gym for 90 seconds. With the game tied at 97 and just a few ticks on the clock, Love got a three pointer off as time expired, only to see it go in and out.
In overtime, the teams continued to trade baskets and the lead. Chase Budinger nailed a three pointed to give the Wolves a 107-106 lead and forced the Heat to take a timeout with 1:19 left to play. After a few no-calls from the referees, a foul was called on the Wolves as Chalmers was sent to the line for two free throws to potentially win the game. He missed the first and made the second to tie the game at 109. Once again, the Wolves went to Kevin Love as time expired and once again the shot clanged off the rim to send the game to double overtime.
Fast forward a few minutes … with 30 seconds left in double overtime, Love had another opportunity and nailed a three pointer to give the Wolves a 119-117 lead. JJ Barea reentered the game and subsequently hit two free throws to give the Wolves a 121-118 lead. Less than two seconds later (of playing time), Chris Bosh hit another three pointer to tie the game at 121. After bobbling the ball, Love threw up a pass to Corey Brewer around the rim and he was fouled on the shot attempt to go to the line. Brewer subsequently hit 1 of 2 and this game was destined to end no matter what happened in the 1.4 seconds left on the clock. Ray Allen wound up with the last shot of the game and missed a fall away jumper, giving the Wolves the 122-121 win in Miami!
Three Stars of the Game
- Chase Budinger – This one goes to Budinger who had, by far, his best game of the season; 24 points on 7-9 shooting (5-7 3PT'ers), to go with 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals
- LeBron James – The best player on the planet finished with 34 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block
- Ricky Rubio– The Unicorn finished with 13 points and 14 assists
Key Takeaways
- Honorable mention to Kevin Love with 28 & 11. I still think he is taking too many 3PT FG's, but he is the clear leader of this team.
- I have no idea why Gorgui Dieng only played 25 minutes tonight. None.
- In a double overtime game, ex-Pup Michael Beasley received a DNP-CD. Amazing.

Off the Beaten Aisle: Sesame Oilby J.M. Hirsch in Recipes, May 12th, 2011
Maybe it's time to look beyond claims of virginity in the oil aisle.
Because, you see, our 20-year love affair with olive oil has had fallout. We've forgotten that there's a whole world of oils that don't come from the olive tree.
And they can do a heck of a lot more than just sauté and make a fine dressing.
OK, maybe we didn't forget. It's not as though prior to the EVOO revolution we were all swilling avocado and grape seed oils.
But olive oil has done a fine job of elbowing out other up-and-comers.
Sesame, for instance. You may have never purchased it, but chances are you've had it. It's what gives many Asian dishes a nutty, savory, richly aromatic flavor.

Enright tosses shutout for Salt Lake
Big league veteran scatters three hits in second Bees start
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | July 31, 2012 10:30 PM ET
After leaving the only organization he had ever known, the right-hander is looking for a fresh start while building a new fan base. Tuesday's outing could go a long way to achieving both goals.
Sporting his trademark ginger hair and beard, Enright (9-6) scattered three hits over nine innings in his first career nine-inning shutout as Salt Lake beat Las Vegas, 8-0.
It was just the 24th complete-game shutout in the team's 19-year history and the first since Bear Bay allowed six hits in a 4-0 win against Fresno on June 12 last year.
"It was bittersweet just because I had known them all for so long," Enright said of leaving the Arizona organization. "I was actually in Las Vegas. It was our last day here because it was a travel day the next day. They brought me into the office and told me I had been traded to the Angels.
"But it's a fresh start for me and I think I needed that. I had a great time in Arizona. The fans supported me through my ups and downs and I can't thank them enough. It was hard to leave, but everybody here has made me feel welcome."
On Tuesday, Enright allowed four Las Vegas hitters to reach base as he faced just two above the minimum. Nobody reached third against the big league veteran.
Joel Galarraga singled to right field with two outs in the third inning, but Mike McCoy grounded out to end the frame.
In the fourth, Jonathan Diaz led off with a single to center. Ricardo Nanita doubled to right to start the fifth and Diaz was hit by a pitch to lead off the seventh. All three players were erased on double-play balls.
The only other batter to reach against Enright was Galarraga, who drew a one-out walk in the ninth but was stranded at first base.
"Things were good from the beginning," said Enright, who threw 61 of 106 pitches for strikes. "I'd worked with catcher John Hester from his time with the Diamondbacks. He kept me on track tonight and the defense did a great job behind me.
"I threw my two-seam [fastball] and changeup down in the zone, and even when I let a few leadoff batters on base, the middle infielders turned some double plays."
Enright, who was 7-11 with a 4.87 ERA in 24 starts across two seasons in Arizona, hopes his new surroundings will invigorate his season. He was 8-6 with a 5.87 ERA in 21 starts in Reno this year before the trade.
"I was able to get off to a good start for the first month, but I had been struggling before the trade. Pitching in this league, you'll have some tough games. I hadn't been myself, it was more mental than physical.
"It was like I needed a gut check. I talked to some people in my close support system like my college coach and my agent and they got me back on track."
Steve Rodriguez, Enright's head coach at Pepperdine University where he posted a 35-8 career record, gave the 26-year-old some of the best advice.
"He told me it was the first time he had heard me making excuses," said Enright, who was selected by Arizona in the second round of the 2007 Draft. "He said I had always stepped up to challenges ,and he said I had not been the competitor he had always known me to be. He's always been like a father figure to me and I enjoyed talking to him.
"It's great to have a fresh start."
While some of the faces are familiar -- Enright knows pitcher Matt Meyer from summer ball and left fielder Ryan Langerhans from the playoff run in Reno 12 months ago -- he will continue using social media to interact with new people.
Enright -- who goes by the handle BarryEnright54 -- had more than 20,000 followers Tuesday on Twitter, and he didn't plan to stop there.
"I've always enjoyed it. The fans have embraced me and I love asking them their likes and dislikes," he said. "I like hearing their favorite stadiums and their favorite ballpark foods.
"It's always fun to go back and forth with them and connect on a different level and show them my personal side off the baseball field."
Second baseman Matt Long was 3-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored, and shortstop Ed Lucas was 3-for-5 in the victory. He slugged his eighth homer of the year and missed hitting for the cycle by a triple.
Las Vegas starter Bill Murphy (5-5) allowed six runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 5 1/3 innings in the losing cause.

Jaclyn Stith had no idea.
"I don't keep count of my points," said Stith.
After getting fouled during Williamstown High School's game against North Oldham on Jan. 21, Stith, a junior member of the Lady Demons basketball team, calmly toed the foul line, sinking a free-throw.
The buzzer sounded. Only then did Stith know for sure that she had just recorded her 1,000th career point. The free-throw was just one of her 23 points in the Lady Demons' 45-40 loss.

Volunteers with the nonprofit, "Homeless Services Network," surveyed the homeless in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties on Wednesday.
"Our job is to discern what the face of homelessness is in the central Florida region, and then look at the gaps in service that we have," said Cathy Jackson, Executive Director of the Homeless Services Network.
Last year, the group counted 4,360 people in Central Florida, not including the families living in motels.
Jackson expects that number to increase this year.
"A lot of folks who have lost their jobs, who have had their job hours cut back, who have no insurance, who have a medical crisis, literally, don't have the income to support themselves in an apartment," she said.
There's also been an increase in the number of chronically ill people living on the street, but Jackson says the number of homeless veterans is decreasing.
"The veterans program nationally, and how its played out here locally, is a model of how we have to deal with all types of homelessness," she said.
The data collected on Wednesday will be analyzed by a team at the University of Central Florida, and a report will be ready by the end of March.

SAN BERNARDINO NATIONAL FOREST -- Search and rescue personnel gathered Monday in the San Bernardino Mountains to look for three hikers from San Diego who planned to hike to the peak of San Gorgonio Mountain on Sunday, but didn't return.
As of Monday afternoon, Ryan Shankles, David Yoder and Miguel De La Torre still hadn't been found. The search has subsided for the day and will resume at daybreak Tuesday, said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller.
Searchers spent several hours searching for the missing men on Sunday, but halted the search overnight.
"They searched until sunset Sunday and Monday night and they're scheduled to be out again tomorrow morning," Miller said.
Four men initially set out on the hike Sunday morning from Fish Creek Trail. A vehicle belonging to one of the men was found in the parking lot near the trail, Miller said.
One of the hikers, James Goins, turned around and headed back down the mountain about two hours into the hike.
He called sheriff's deputies when the other men didn't return.
Searchers from the Sheriff's Department and the U.S. Forest Service looked for the men, but couldn't find them. They resumed their search at 6:30 a.m. Monday, setting up a command post at Heartbar Campground, north of where the men left on their hike.
Miller said the men are experienced hikers and had food and water.

Former Weaver properties undergoing utility severance
April 30, 2013
Those who pass by the former Weaver property this week may spot construction workers on the site, as the utilities between the two buildings are severed.
"Two buildings originally operated as one, and we did a lot line adjustment so we can give it to two different buyers," said Lock Richards, managing director for real estate firm Sperry Van Ness Highland Commercial.
The utilities the two buildings formerly shared — power, electrical, water, sewer and irrigation — will allow a potential buyer to access the second unsold property apart from the other.
The 30,000-foot property at 400 Idaho-Maryland Road was built by Tom and Matt Weaver, former owners of Weaver Truck and Auto Sales, in August 2006.
The business then faced economic hardship and put the property on the market, which was purchased by its previous owner, Donald P. McCredie, March 26, 2012.
McCredie put the property back up for sale about four months later, and it has been on the market since, though prospective buyers have shown interest, Richards said.

"We have the back building in escrow, and the front building is close to being put in escrow," Richards said.
"We're probably looking sometime in June if they go forward. They're contingent offers on some other things, so it's not a sure thing yet."

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, is inflammation of the liver
caused by a buildup of fat in liver cells. NASH has features similar to
alcohol-induced liver disease, but it occurs in people who do not abuse
The exact cause of NASH is not known. NASH is part of a group of
liver diseases known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this group
of diseases, fat builds up in the liver and sometimes causes liver damage that
gets worse over time (progressive liver damage). People who get NASH are
usually middle-aged and overweight or obese and often have other conditions
such as diabetes. But NASH can occur in a person who has none of these risk
Many people with NASH have no symptoms and do not know that they
have the condition. As NASH gets worse, symptoms may appear and include being
tired all the time and having unexplained weight loss and general
Treatment for NASH may include reducing cholesterol levels, losing weight, and controlling
diabetes. Treatment may also include stopping the use of medicines that may make symptoms worse.
