Clearing her head was just as important to Vanessa Davis as clearing the 13-foot mark in Saturday's pole vault event at the 74th annual Chandler Rotary.
After clearing 12-6 early in the season a year ago, the Desert Vista junior focused on getting to 13 feet by the end of the year. Only she leveled off and stayed at 12-6 all year long before posting 12-9 toward the end.
It left Davis, despite winning state, frustrated with her progress.
So posting a mark of 13-foot early in this season bodes well for Davis. She has no plans of replicating last year's season when she seemed to get stagnant, especially considering she nearly cleared 13-5, which would have been the state record, on Saturday.
"It means so much to get to 13," said Davis, who tied the Chandler Rotary meet record. "I've been so focused on it for so long that now I can move past it."
Thunder pole vault coach Jeff Guy said it was huge after not performing as expected last week at the indoor nationals.
"The difference is being a 16-year-old sophomore compared to a 17-year- old junior," Guy said. "As she has matured as a student athlete her confidence level has increased. She is on pace to have a great year. To have already cleared 12-6 three times already is huge. Last year we wanted to be consistent at 12 feet. Now we are wanting to be 12-6 to 12-9 consistently and pop the big one every once in awhile."
The Thunder girls had several athletes come up big on the largest stage of the Arizona track regular season.
Makenzi Holmes-Digiovine needed to have a little talk with herself in the early going, but afterward the Desert Vista senior thrower put it together.
"I was nervous and frustrated at first," she said. "Then I told myself I'm a senior, I'm committed (to Auburn) and it's supposed to be a fun year so let it go."
Soon after that, she had two consecutive personal record throws to get into the finals of the shot put and finished in fourth place with a throw of 39-11.5 to just miss the school record in the event before finishing first in the discus at 133-05.
"I've never had my last throw be my best throw so that was really good for me," she said.
Another personal record was set by senior Damali Britton, who finished the triple jump with an effort of 36-8 to finish second, while freshman Baylee Jones won the 3200 meter run in 10 minutes and 55.31 second. Sophomore Mason Swenson finished second in the 800 meter run in 2:16.85 minutes, sophomore Shannon Fritz was fourth in the high jump (5-02) and freshman Mandy Davis finished sixth in the 1600 meter run at 5 minutes and 04.86 seconds.
"We had a really good day," Thunder girls Cassandra Kline said. "We have some young athletes, but they came out and performed."
And that doesn't take into account the fact that Desert Vista's top female distance runner Dani Jones was held out because of a minor case of shin splints with the hope that Jones will be 100 percent for Arcadia Invitational in California April 11-12.
The Mountain Pointe girls were led by Autumn Smith as the school record holder in both events finished fifth in the 300 meter hurdles and 10th in the 100 meter hurdles, while Rees Young was sixth in the long jump and ninth in the triple jump.
The boys action centered around Pride sprinter Paul Lucas, who is one of the nation's premier junior sprinters.
He stumbled out of the block in the 100 and still managed to win the event easily at 10.52 seconds to miss breaking the meet record by .03 seconds.
"I've been so clean in practice and I wanted to get at least 10.39," he said. "Out of the blocks I knew it wasn't going to happen. I'll be back for the 200."
He certainly was as Lucas set the school record and meet record with a time of 20.91.
Other top eight performers included the Thunder's Connor Watson as he was fifth in the triple jump at 44-03, while Torrey Hickle was sixth in the discus at 143-08 and the Thunder's Jakob Alme was second in the pole vault at 15-0.
Other meet highlights:
* Long Beach Poly's Juan Ward won the 110 hurdles in 14.22 to edge Corona del Sol's Tevin Mayfield (14.30). Then Mayfield came back and won the 300 in 37.90 with Ward second at 38.09.
* Cerake Geberkidane of Denver East set the meet record in the 1600 meter run with an effort of 4:06.56 with Corona del Sol's Nathan Rodriguez second at 4:11.10.
"I wasn't expecting a time like that," Rodriguez said of Geberkidane's record pace. "I would have run the race differently had I known, but I'm feeling strong right now."
* Perry's Cade Burks won the 800 meter run with a time of 1:54.90, which was nearly a full four seconds better than his seeded time. It is the fastest time in the nation for a sophomore.
* Three other area kids when sub-11.00 in the 100 to finish behind Lucas as Westwood's Joseph Clark (10.83), Chandler's DJ Ware (10.88) and Queen Creek's Weston Barlow (10.96) all finished in the top eight.
* Chandler's Ky Westbrook ran her first 100 of the season and won it in 11.64 and she finished second in the shot put to teammate Bianca Finn. She came back to win the 200 in 24.45.
"It's a good starting point," she said of her 100. "I knew right away it wasn't going to be a great time. You can feel (a good time) and it wasn't there, but I am confident I'll have a good year."
* Dior Hall of George Washington (Colorado) won the 100 meter hurdles in a meet record of 13.66.
*Chandler girls 4x100 relay was DQ after the baton exchanged was dropped on the first exchange, but still crossed the finish line in a distant second to Long Beach Poly.
* Hamilton's Ashlee Moore won the high jump at 5-08.
* Chandler freshman Tiana Poirier-Shelton won the girls triple jump at 36-08.5.
* North Canyon junior Jasmine Stauffacher Gray set Chandler Rotary record in girls 400 at 54.69

The Star-Tribune reports that in a deposition, former Vicar General of the Archdiocese of St. Paul, Rev. Peter Laird, said he had recommended to Archbishop John Nienstedt that he resign his post as archbishop. It is advice that should have been taken at the time. It is advice that should still be taken today. This is not going to end well for the archbishop and the only thing he is prolonging is the misery of the poor people in a great, historic archdiocese that deserves better.

Sound — 7
Not bad sound for what it is. I am not a bassist. I got this off of craigslist for my bassist but took some time to fiddle with it. It has a pretty decent sound, quite full with a nice range> I found it a little noisy, especially when messing with the pots, upon opening the back it is clear they are pretty cheap pots. Replacing them may help.
Overall Impression — 8
Seems like a solid entry level bass. I really liked the lightweight body. It seems like an excellent platform to slap some better electronics in and have a decent gigable bass.
Reliability & Durability — 8
the guitar seems pretty solidly built. I would expect it to withstand a lot. My bassist destroys equipment (very sad for me who treats everything like gold) and this bass has lasted him without issue for a couple months after coming from a chick who clearly did not take care of it.
Action, Fit & Finish — 9
The action It came in was piss poor, but after a little neck adjustment here, a little bridge adjustment there, I got it to a really low action with no buzzing. I like it.
Features — 8
Figured I would throw up this review because there's just not a whole lot of info on this model. Its a P/J design with the Jazz pickup at the bridge and a split one at the neck. 3 knobs in what I believe is a jazz bass configuration (1 neck vol, 1 bridge vol, and 1 blend). A pretty cool looking mirrored flame graphic. The 2 best parts of this bass I thought were the weight, and neck. The neck plays really nice, I preferred it to my Squire Jazz. It also weighs about half as much.

An old, familiar face to Atlanta Braves fans has been walking around Lake Buena Vista, Fla., the home of the Braves' Spring Training complex. It belongs to Javy Lopez, and he is working for the club as an instructor.
It may have been eight years since Lopez played behind the plate for the Braves, but Lopez still has plenty of baseball left in him.
"Every year, this is like home," Lopez said. "It is fun to be around the players, hang out with them and try to bring back the memories. It's always good to be here."
Lopez will be spending a week in camp with the Braves as a special instructor, which could help him land a coaching job down the road.
"At some point, I will get into coaching," Lopez said. "It's what I know."
Lopez, a three-time All-Star during his 12-year career, hit .287 with 214 home runs. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 2003, when he hit .328 with 43 homers and 109 RBIs.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Javy Lopez, MLB

You will enjoy the support of our friendly staff who will care for you and prepare local dishes, all dishes are homemade with healthy products. Half board (breakfast and dinner) is included in the price.
Yulin is Indonesian, Patrick is French. We are found of diving and we felt in love with this marvelous area not enough known : North Sulawesi !
Patrick Dorp purchased this villa in 2012
We fell in love with this beautiful region of Indonesia during a holiday stay. Chance made us pass a land for sale, we have acquired it the following week ... In front of us lies the Bunaken Marine Park, a paradise for scuba diving.
The villa is in a quiet neighborhood on a plot of 13,000 m2 with an exceptional view on the sea. We have a privative beach directly accessible. The garden is planted with fruit trees and according to the season, you can enjoy mangoes, mangis, rambutan, avocado, sirsak ...
Charming, magical location with romantic view on Manado Bay and yet far away from big city. Spaceful, beautiful, luxurious villa to share with loved ones. Great original indonesian food prepared freshly every day by dedicated and friendly crew. We felt spoiled by the royal treatment we were given by the Villa Manare's crew. They became our new family far from home. Thank You for the unforgetable time! M, G, A, A
Nicely furnished, very comfortable. Nice balance between Indonesian, rustic and luxury. Staff were great, the fridge was full of cold beer and tonic when we arrived which was a nice touch, pool was really lovely, internet was pretty good but would have been helpful if we'd known tin advance there was a daily limit of 1Gb/day, all the recommended tours/diving packages were great (insist on a decent quality van for the local tour though, ), grounds are well maintained, charges for laundry/lunch etc were reasonable. Kids (4 and 6) liked it too. Wouldn't be any good if you want nightlife on your door step but if you want a bit luxury away from it all, it is perfect. All in all a great holiday
I could write an essay about how amazing this place is and why you should visit it! We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Villa Manare and already miss it. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty and amazing position of this villa. It is beautifully furnished and the pool is stunning. The team at the villa made us feel so welcome and spoiled! Thank you especially to Opa for the fantastic food and tour of Northern Sulawesi. We are all divers and were blown away by the diving in both Manado bay and Bunaken. The snorkelling directly off the villa's private beach though was superb! We used the kayaks several times and got to explore the area further. Thanks again to Patrick and his family for your hospitality and help (also for your patience for my multiple and frequent questions!!!) . Hopefully will return one day!
Dream location on the beach if you are lucky you can see dolphins. The villa is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. If you want to relax this is the place to be ! Thank you patrick for the good communication.
We stayed 1 week in this wonderful place, all was perfect, the villa, the surroundings and the incredible view... The food prepared by our private chief was really tasty and all the staff was so efficient and discreet.. definitly 2 thumbs up...
Together a luxuous and simple place, intimate, peaceful, connected with the horizon. A very nice team taking care of everything, very discret and cooking the best food I had the opportunity to eat in nearly one year living in Indonesia! Absolutely delicious. Very good price for such a quality, perfect place to rest few days and to go diving. Thank you!

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Max, the white rhinoceros has headed north for love.
Brevard Zoo spokeswoman Michelle Smurl says the 13-year-old rhino was recently moved to the Birmingham Zoo to be part of a national breeding program. He had lived at the Melbourne zoo since 2003.
Florida Today reports the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan saw Max as a potential mate for two Southern white Rhinos at the Alabama zoo. Their names are Laptop and Ajabu.
Smurl says the number of white rhinos has been declining in the wild due to poaching and habitat destruction. The Southern white rhino species is classified as "near threatened" with only about 20,150 left in the wild.
Wes Sims of the Birmingham Zoo says Max is already checking out "our girls."

Hoarding: An Existential Crisis?
Before it had a name, I was obsessed with hoarding. I remember seeing an episode of "The Oprah Show" in the early 2000s where a woman allowed the show's cameras into her home to reveal the unfathomable clutter inside. There was so much stuff that her family could barely find their way through the labyrinth from the kitchen to the living room. There were piles of dirty dishes that must have been months or even years old. Cat feces graced every available surface. The woman was a nurse or a teacher I think. How could anyone live like that? I just couldn't understand how someone could let so much crap accumulate and do nothing about it. It made me, well, almost angry, especially because of how it affected her family.With the addition of the disorder to the DSM-V (therapists' diagnostic bible) and shows like "Hoarders," "Hoarding: Buried Alive," and even "Extreme Couponing," we're starting to learn so much more about what hoarder experience on a daily basis, and perhaps are even getting a bit closer to understanding the cognitive patterns that accompany it. Watching a man feed the 5,000 rats that inhabit his home or a woman who would rather spend time with her 1,000 dolls than her husband has nevertheless made hoarding hard to fathom or completely sympathize with.
Now, an interesting New York Times piece about the disorder hints at the existential dilemma behind hoarding in a most poetic manner:
"To resolve the constant tension between the spiritual and the material would be to learn how to live. You have to be soulless not to grapple with it once in a while, especially in a society like ours … [Hoarders] are driven by the allure of opportunity. There's a romance in trash … What appeals is the idea that something — anything — of value lurks beneath the surface, a surface that looks to everybody else like a giant pile of junk … Hoarders see things in things that other people don't. They find value, comfort, solace, a buffer against loss, accumulated history in their stuff. Things become externalized parts of themselves — their memory, their plans, their feelings. To discard objects intended for future use (a project, a plan, a projection) feels like dashing hopes, losing opportunities, squandering potential."
This makes so much sense to me. It makes me feel compassion for hoarders in a way I haven't before. I think all of us struggle to balance our spiritual and material selves, search to find meaning in the meaningless, strive to create something out of nothing, imagine beauty where none exits, and feel sad about the loss of potential. Only most of us don't do it with trash.

Oakland Raiders' general manager Reggie McKenzie focused a great deal of energy on the cornerback position this offseason. It was a glaring weakness in 2012 because of injuries and depth. The Raiders stocked the position via free agency and the NFL Draft to improve the product this year. Cornerback and linebacker are the two positions Oakland drastically upgraded. Now the concern is translating that to the field.
When the Raiders open training camp, this will be the most interesting position to see unfold. Coming into the NFL Draft, the Raiders targeted DJ Hayden as their guy. He has since suffered an abdominal injury that is not thought to be related to the torn vein he suffered in college. Head coach Dennis Allen believes Hayden will return for training camp and it is extremely important that he does. He already missed time his senior season and is now behind having missed offseason workouts. Hayden's recovery will be the topic come July 25th because he has a chance to make an impact as a starter.
With Hayden a question mark, the Raiders will turn to Mike Jenkins and Tracy Porter to contribute as starters. Porter moved inside to nickle and played outside during the offseason workouts. He missed time last season with some injuries and missed some early offseason practices with a calf injury. He did participate in the final sessions and should be fine for training camp.
He played for Allen with the New Orleans Saints and had a memorable interception of Peyton Manning that he returned for a touchdown to seal their Super Bowl XLIV win. He will be a factor in the Raiders secondary plans this training camp with the opportunity to start or see a great deal of playing time on passing downs.
Jenkins comes to Oakland after five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. In those seasons, Jenkins started 48 games but only two in 2012 after the Cowboys drafted Morris Claiborne and gave big money to Brandon Carr. The former first round draft pick will have the chance to be a starter in Oakland opposite Hayden or Porter.
Joselio Hanson was one of the Raiders best defenders a year ago and their best cornerback option. He tied for the team lead in interceptions and led the team in fumbles recovered. He accounted for five of the Raiders 19 total takeaways in 2012. He is best when lined up in the nickle, but has the versatility to move outside.

Teachers at many independent schools will refuse to take student teachers into their classrooms next term because they say universities fail to pay them adequately for their supervision.
Their refusal will put added pressure on the public school system to take more of the trainee teachers at a time when NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli believes universities produce too many teaching graduates.
About 5500 students graduate from teaching each year in NSW, competing for fewer than 1000 teaching positions.
The NSW Independent Education Union, which represents private and Catholic teachers, says the universities have not increased the rate they pay teachers to supervise university students in the past two decades.
The union's general secretary, John Quessy, said universities only pay teachers $21 a day to supervise a trainee teacher, despite universities receiving $800 per student each year from the federal government for practical training.
''The rate for taking prac teachers hasn't changed since 1991 and that in itself is an issue, and there is increasing demand on teachers' time besides taking responsibility for potential new colleagues, so something has to give,'' he said.
Mr Quessy said the union was trying to negotiate with universities to increase the pay rate for supervising teachers.
Mark Smith, a senior teacher at Holy Spirit College in the Illawarra, said he had had many student teachers in his classrooms in the past 30 years but teachers increasingly felt they could not manage the extra workload.
''As professionals, we are reluctant to take this action as we really do feel we have a responsibility to future teachers and also because we often get as much out of it as they do,'' Mr Smith said.
''But the fact is the universities are exploiting our goodwill and we feel a little bit used.''
The professor of teacher education at Sydney University, Robyn Ewing, said it was an ''increasing challenge'' to find placements for students but the professional experience component of their studies was vital.
''It is so important because it is the opportunity for early career teachers to work in classrooms with mentor teachers,'' Professor Ewing said.
Mr Piccoli said he ''did not blame'' schools for getting frustrated but they do have a role in mentoring future teachers.
He wants a cap on the number of students allowed to enrol in teaching degrees to curb an oversupply of primary school teachers, many of whom will join the 40,000 people on the waiting list for a position.
The state government cannot implement a cap but it can enforce tougher entry requirements.

Hat tip to the two Darrens (Dochuk and Grem) for circulating this wonderful parody of Christian consumerism (Jesus junk in Colleen McDannel's words). Having spent some time in a couple of Christian megastores back in Kansas a few weeks ago, this almost seems believable!

I love it because it hits on a penchant for persuasive analogy that evangelical Protestants can really take too much to heart sometimes. I once heard a pastor and friend preach that we should have faith in God because "he ain't no fourteen-year-old linebacker." I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one.
- Randall at: December 11, 2008 at 3:41 PM said...
I experienced something similar, Deg, growing up as I did in the Nazarene Church. I wonder if it has to do with the way many conservative Christians think of the Bible as a kind of magical text. This doesn't just apply to those folks who play Bible roulette. Any passage of scripture can fit almost any sermon or almost any analogy.
I remember a sermon I heard at a Nazarene Church in Emporia, Kansas about not being a "Chicken Witness." I can't recall what in God's name this had to do with. But... there must have been some chicken mentioned in the OT.
- deg at: December 12, 2008 at 9:11 AM said...
I think the notion of a "magical Bible" is absolutely correct, which gets blended into the evangelical urge to be "all things to all people" and not let the Bible itself trip folks up. The Bible's not that democratic a book, but evangelicals try to make it that, which certainly lends itself toward both a trust in those who can "bring it down to earth" for lay evangelicals (e.g. Rick Warren) and a willingness to use a wide variety of analogies - within reason - to get the message across.
Just the number of analogies I've heard about the nature and purpose of the Trinity could fill a book. My favorite is that the Trinity is like the three forms of southern BBQ - same in substance, but not in manifestation.

Supporters of the campaign group Keep Our NHS Public (KONP) met in Sutton last week.
Over 70 people attended the event at the Friends Meeting House in Cedar Road, to hear talks on the effects of government health reforms.
The evening was titled The Betrayal of the NHS, and was organised by the campaign group's Sutton branch.
Dr Bob Gill, a south London GP, explained how he thinks the government have tried to introduce an American-style private healthcare system.
Health economist Dr Lucy Reynolds talked about her belief that hospitals are being deliberately loaded with debt, so they are forced into private sector takeovers.
Saleh Mamon, chair of the KONP Sutton branch, said: "Keep Our NHS Public will continue to try and keep the public informed about what is really going."
The event took place on Friday, July 4.

Dedication to help others has led retiring Social Services worker through long career
By Anton Adamek
Wednesday, January 22, 2014 6:22 AM
Shown with longtime and recently retired county coordinator Karen Brown, Social Services worker Gail Bunge also recently retired from a 33-year career at the county.
"People helping people can make a difference," said Gail Bunge, effectively summarizing the core belief she has lived out in her 33 years of public service to Fillmore County. "I was always a people helper."
Gail grew up in Roseville, Minn., and, prior to her attending college at the University of Minnesota, had always felt that tug toward caring for others. She wanted to become a doctor. However, when she was a freshman, her dad was diagnosed with leukemia. Spending lots of time with him in the hospital helped her understand that the doctor career was not for her.
"I'm not sure, but I think I got burnt out with the whole setting," Gail recalled.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in food microbiology in 1978 and moved out to Santa Monica, Calif., where she married her college boyfriend, Andy Bunge.
While Andy pursued a professional track career, Gail worked for Chicago Title Insurance for two years before the couple moved to Preston. Gail wanted to raise a family while Andy pursued milking cows and so looked for a job nearby.
Finding an opening at Fillmore County, her experience working for insurance companies helped her get a job as a deputy clerk of the court. Her work required Gail to work in both the court administration office and county recorder's office.
She enjoyed the work for a couple years until the Social Services director at that time, Rolf Huggenvik, recruited her to become an eligibility worker in Social Services. Recognizing an opportunity to pursue her passion of directly helping people and being part of a team, Gail took the job.
After eight years of doing work on the "front line" of Social Services, Gail became the financial assistance supervisor. She held the title for 20 years.
"I tend to be a person to step forward and lead," she said.
Although her main responsibilities were to supervise the eligibility workers in her team, Gail continued to complete work as she had done prior to gaining the leadership position.
"I felt that to be a good supervisor, I needed to know the work that the staff was doing," she explained.
As a person who thrived from directly helping people, Gail also couldn't see herself ever straying from that aspect of her work.
Gail's work did change throughout her career as technology developed and programs became more complex. She laughed as she recalled sitting in the vault of the old courthouse stuffing envelopes full of food coupons for those eligible for food stamps. Now, food stamps are disbursed through an EBT card.
Gail also recalled hand-writing out forms, which have since become computerized. Mathematical formulas that were done on a calculator are now crunched through software.
Phone service was different, too. Gail shared office space with Social Service director Tom Boyd and remembered having to physically pass phones back and forth. Now, county employees have their own extensions and voicemail accounts.
Gail said the programs and systems used in Social Services have also gotten more complex. Incidentally, she left at the same time the Affordable Care Act went into effect.
"It was difficult for me to leave for that reason," she said, explaining that the amount of change associated with the new healthcare law had caused her to doubt whether it was a good time to step down.
At that point, Gail had been the Social Services manager for two years. The position had been created through the redesign of Community Services to include Public Health, Human Services and Veteran Services under one umbrella.
"You had to be resilient and look at change as an opportunity and not a challenge," she recalled.
Gail applied that understanding to help her know that it was time for her to leave. "I've resolved to recognize that change is constant. We have an excellent, dedicated staff and business will go forward as usual," she stated.
Of course, it was still difficult to leave the team at the county, which had become like family. "Much of the staff I personally hired," she noted. "I was honored to be able to be a public servant and part of a team that helps people."
As she enters retirement, Gail said she realized her work helped her understand the importance of finding balance in life. Part of that balance for her will be to continue looking for ways she can directly help others. Whether it be through sending homemade greeting cards or volunteering at Christ Lutheran Church, schools and other community programs, she is looking forward to it all. Beside her goal to be an active volunteer, Gail wants to spend more time with her family.
"One of my greatest achievements was that I raised my children and that they are proud of me," she said. The two oldest, Jonathan and Alison, are married and live outside of the state. The youngest, Kristin, graduated with a degree in psychology with a goal to be counselor. Gail mentioned she is following closely in her own footsteps, with a desire to help people.
Gail has also taken on the responsibility of caring for her mother, who has Parkinson's disease. "I needed to give more to family. They are happy that I will have some more time," she said.
Gail will continue to enjoy her activities of reading, walking and attending athletic events at the University of Minnesota. "We are avid, spirited Golden Gopher fans," she said.
Again showing her and Andy's determination to help others, the Bunges set up an annual scholarship for track athletes at the U of M, where Andy was track captain in 1977. "We're paying it forward," she said.
She may not have become the doctor that she thought she would, but Gail was still able to stay true to herself and her core belief of helping others. At the end of the day, and especially at the end of a long career, that belief will be what will carry on and continue to improve the lives of many.

They obviously missed the 2nd quarter where they called EVERYTHING to get LBJ free throws.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Man, I bet the Heat players feel like whiny little girls after they see the replays from the game. No one got punched. No one got "clotheslined" (my god Bosh that was a dumb comment). Look at the photo on the front page of the Indy Star. Lebron purposely stuck out that elbow. He might not have tried to hit Roy's face but he sure as hell was trying to clear space and he didn't care where that elbow landed.
I love that we are so far in these dude's heads that they are literally making up things to whine about...punched in the face? Clotheslined? Really dude? Listen to yourself and Bosh is usually pretty even keel too. We are getting to everyone in that locker room. I love it.
Remember the composure Lance showed when Wade took him out with his wing last year? Of course, Lance was probably seeing stars like they do in the cartoons after he took that hit and likely couldn't have immediately retaliated even if he wanted to, but still. I'm glad Lance didn't overreact here.
If Lavoy Allen isn't going to be a vital cog of our rotation, then we need to have him review tape of all of the old school dirty 80's and 90's playoff fouls. When the playoffs roll around, Lavoy needs to be put into the game so that he can lay a wicked shot or two to Lebron and Wade. This is one of the main reasons why I hope Bynum can be healthy in the playoffs. Not only is Bynum an absolute G on the court, but he has 6 fouls and makes Mahinmi more expendable. If Mahinmi was expendable, then it would mean that we could also send him in there with the sole purpose of putting Lebron and Wade on their a**. They enjoy whining, so I hope that we give them stuff to whine about in the playoffs.
I don't. They aren't identical players, but they are both guys that opposing teams really hate to play against. Even if Lance isn't playing well, he can get under their skin and cause them to lose focus. There are only a few players in league history who are better players when they are focused on one specific player, and Wade is not one of them.
At this point, I wouldn't mind if we used Lavoy or someone else to "Dexter Pittman" Wade one game. Now, I don't advocating injuring him other than him being a bit sore the next day, but he has it coming to him. In fact, I think it would have been hilarious if we had just signed Pittman for the minimum, not necessarily done anything with him, just send a message that we're not going to put up with Miami nonsense.
Lance is nothing like Artest. Artest is a loose cannon. Lance gets emotional about the game but Artest is just not there sometimes. Kinda of scary.
IIRC, there was an early 'verticality' block by Roy where he smacked James in the face. It was not called a foul and shouldn't have been. But James did get hit in the nose. Since that nose is either still broken or partially healed, it probably hurt way beyond the degree of contact.
When you have a broken nose and play without a mask, you get 'accidentally' hit in the nose a lot. That is why he needs to wear a mask, even it he doesn't like it. I get why he is upset, but it is his own fault, IMO. The NBA is a grown man's league, to borrow a Mark Jacksonism, and teams will take every advantage. If DWest was playing with a broken nose, it would get 'accidentally' hit also.
A classic case of being able to dish it out, but not take it.
Luis got shoulder mostly. Brushed the nose. I think all this talk is Miami setting up for the next game in South Beach. Hibbert will most undoubtedly foul out of that one.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Time for a new sig.
Pacers still showed they have what it takes to compete. It really seems like the refs did whatever they could do to kill the pacers momentum at times during that game, especially the end on the 2nd Q.
I think playing against lesser players in Paul George's case makes him lazy. He knew lebron was going to be a handful and took good shots, stayed engaged all game long.
IMO this team is playing lazy against lesser teams because it is relying on more talent because it has been able to keep it in games and win. Recently they have taken it to a lower level which has caused this recent skid. If they play like they did last night, they will blow out teams like they did early in the season. However it will wear guys out playing at that level for 82-games.

Jane Carrey, daughter of Canadian funnyman, Jim Carrey, and husband Alex Santana have welcomed their first child!
Baby boy Jackson Riley arrived Friday (February 26) at 12:28am in Los Angeles, reports PEOPLE. He weighed in at 7lbs, 11oz, and measured 20 inches in length.
During her pregnancy, the 22-year-old Jane Carrey Band singer expressed how happy she was to be expecting:
I've always wanted to be a mother… and I've always wanted to do music, so to have the two together, it's just awesome, it's a dream come true.
Her father was also ecstatic about the news, saying, "Jane is going to be a great mom."
Late Tuesday night, Jim, 47, took to Twitter with a cryptic message: "something beautiful is right around the corner!" We can only assume little Jackson was the "something beautiful" he was talking about!
Congratulations to the entire Carrey-Santana family!

Ford, Firestone Settle Rollover Lawsuit
Thursday 6:37 pm ET
LOS ANGELES September 19, 2002 Reuters reported that Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone Corp. unit Firestone settled a lawsuit on Thursday brought by a college student who suffered brain injuries as a result of a 1999 rollover accident involving her Ford Explorer, the plaintiff's lawyer said on Thursday.
The settlement amount was not disclosed and the companies did not admit liability in the agreement that ended one of the few rollover cases to go trial in the United States, attorney John Denove told Reuters.
"I can't tell you the amount of settlement but the plaintiff is hoping that that kind of settlement will make (the companies) understand that they can't get away with that kind of conduct," Denove said. "They did not admit to liability. They will never admit to any liability even though everyone agrees that these were defective tires."
As part of the agreement, the companies asked for the return of the de-treaded left rear tire that allegedly caused the Oct. 31, 1999, accident on a highway near Bakersfield, California, John Rowell, another attorney for plaintiff, said.
The settlement was reached late on Thursday morning during a week-long break in what was expected to be a three-month trial in Los Angeles, Denove said. The settlement negotiations had begun again a day earlier.
"They made us an offer that the clients couldn't refuse," Rowell said.
In the Sept. 11 opening statements, Denove told jurors that his 21-year-old client, Cristina Hernandez, suffered brain injuries and post-traumatic stress that probably ended her dream of becoming a surgeon when the tire lost its tread and her 1997 Ford Explorer rolled over, killing one of her passengers.
Ford and Firestone attorneys argued that the tire had been damaged long before the tread separated from the steel belt and that Hernandez's injuries would not prevent her from becoming a surgeon.
Firestone spokesman Dan MacDonald said the company was pleased to have reached a settlement in the Hernandez case.
"We are always open to a settlement that is acceptable to both parties and we are pleased that we could work something out in this case," MacDonald said.
If the jury had rendered a verdict, the case would have been one of the first in the United States to establish whether the companies were liable in tire-related accidents with the Explorer.
Federal regulators have linked defective Firestone tires to crashes that killed 271 people and injured hundreds more. Many of those tires were installed as standard equipment on Ford Explorers and the company spent millions of dollars recalling tires and replacing them.

I am in love with this fierce coat. The standing collar, that amazing belt, the carefully, ever so lightly puffed at the cuff, sleeves!!! Wear the collar buttoned up for added drama, or unbuttoned to show off a scarf. However you wear this jacket, heads will turn because you are wearing a piece of art!

Architect M. Garland Reynolds has designed countless building in Hall County and beyond. His zest to make the buildings he designs be compatible with the history of the area has led him to become something of an expert on regional history and a collector of great stories about this region.
Today, The Times asks Reynolds five questions about his passions — for architecture and for history.
1. What do you think is the most interesting building in Hall County?
I have two. The first is Head's (aka, Healan's) Mill located on Whitehall Road in East Hall County. This historic grist mill, dating back to 1845, is among the most beautiful in America. It is recognized as such by the Society for the Preservation of Old Mills in America and is prominently featured as such in the book "Historic Mills of America."
Poised above the rapids of the North Oconee River with its great iron water wheel, it is a lovely sight to behold and a favorite for artists. Supporting its elevated flume are steel rails believed to have been taken from the old Gainesville trolley line and from the Northwestern Railroad that once ran steamed from New Holland to Helen. Head's Mill is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Hall County purchased the mill and surrounding property with a grant in 2003. A group wanting to preserve the mill was then able to raise enough money to stabilize the structure and store the milling equipment for a possible later restoration. Since that time nothing has happened and time is taking its toll. What a lovely park and county educational resource this could become!
The second is the 1938 Hall County courthouse located in downtown Gainesville. This historic architectural landmark art deco building in white and pink Georgia marble was for many years recognized by most as the most beautiful building in Gainesville. It, too, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Sadly, in 1972, the present annex "box structure" was constructed against the courthouse's splendid Spring Street north side, completely blocking any view of it from the Downtown Square.
Hopefully, these unfortunate circumstances of the past can soon be remedied and this grand historic building can once again be brought back to its former glory and serving a useful purpose in downtown Gainesville.
2. What historical story about Hall County do you think every resident should know?
The most historic story about Hall County occurred on the morning of April 6, 1936, when, without any warning, a devastating F-4 tornado slammed into downtown Gainesville.
The Cooper Pants Factory, located on Broad Street between Maple Street and the Midland Railroad, was then the scene of the most tragic loss of life in U.S. history from a fire caused by a tornado. Women, mostly poor young county girls, worked in the upstairs sewing room. ... Numbers vary because of missing records, but it is generally accepted that between 75 and 125 died there as they clutched together in pitiful groups. I recall my father, who worked in a nearby butcher shop, telling about hearing the screams of the women as they were cremated alive.
For whatever reason, no official recognition of this horrific event has ever been properly acknowledged by the city of Gainesville. Thankfully, there now exists an opportunity to rectify this oversight. By a stroke of providence, the city now owns the block of property where the pants factory was located. Moreover, it is in the best possible location for a Central Park that would link and extend the restricted Downtown Square south down to the new Midtown Greenway that begins directly across Jesse Jewell Parkway from the park. Besides providing a much needed downtown green space, a beautiful open pavilion for community events could be erected over the site of the factory building as a memorial to the women who perished there.
3. Describe your own house and what you like about it architecturally.
Our house in Longstreet Hills was designed by the noted Atlanta architect John Cherry and constructed in 1954.
We purchased the house in 1997 and began an extensive and lengthy remodeling. Architecturally, the house plan is "S" shaped with brick floors, brick walls, heavy fanned-out wood beams, much glass and only a few straight walls. As we proceeded with changes, things came together and the house has proven to be a most comfortable home. We have been told that neighbors sometimes call it "The Museum House!"
As a bonus, the house is situated on almost 2 forested acres that are home to every known species of bird in Georgia, a family of raccoons, an occasional herd of deer and once a wandering coyote. The only problem now is a large family of squirrels that has taken up residence in the trees and last summer ate every tomato in our vegetable garden. I didn't know squirrels ate tomatoes!
4. Of the buildings you've designed, what's your favorite and why?
One favorite building is impossible to name.
It could be the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Savannah; or Chateau Elan; or The Lakewood Marta Station; or the Southeastern Indian Museum at Reinhardt University; or The Tallulah Gorge Interpretive Center; or The Stamp Mill Program Center at Camp Glisson in Dahlonega; or one of the churches; or the Flowery Branch Depot; or the Byron Herbert Reece Interpretive Center in Union County or another. All are favorites and all have their stories.
I will admit, however, that The Hike-Inn Lodge at Amicalola State Park is a special favorite with a unique story. This remote state park and historic site facility was constructed on the top east side of a mountain on the access trail leading up to join with the beginning of the Appalachian Trail on Springer Mountain. ... Designing it involved a lot of research including walking through the White Mountains of New Hampshire where I learned how not to construct self-composting toilets and how to ventilate rooms to prevent moisture coming from perspiring arriving hikers from collecting on ceilings and raining down.
It was not a consideration in the design, but the Hike-Inn went on to be awarded a coveted Gold LEED environmental certification.
5. How do you think Gainesville and Hall County will change in the next 50 years?
Gainesville and Hall County will change in the next 50 years to become a regional intermodal transportation center.
Where else within a mile of each other is there a major U.S. railroad connecting up-east cities like Washington, D.C., and New York with Atlanta and New Orleans and before long the route for both commuter and fast rail, a splendid expandable airport capable even now of accommodating large jet aircraft and an Interstate highway?
From its historic beginning at the intersection of two Indian ridge trails, Gainesville has been the North Georgia hub for busy roads extending out in every direction.
Change to accommodate this inherited bounty is certain.

Now Brooke is talking about a similar dark period in her life — the two years before the birth of daughter, Rowan, when she and husband, Chris Henchy, were desperately trying to have a baby; how she lost a child in-between; and how emotionally destroying infertility can be.
Brooke recently agreed to lend her name to Fertility Lifelines (1-866-538-7879; www.fertilitylifelines.com), the free, 24/7 information and support line for questions on fertility, provided by Serono, manufacturer of fertility medications. The hotline is a resource she says she wishes she'd had access to when she and Henchy were going through their infertility trials, a period of two years. Typical of the general lack of knowledge in this area, Brooke revealed that, "while it took two years, it was a year before we even knew we had a problem."
According to reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Richard Scott, of Reproductive Medicine Associates in Morristown, N.J., these are the two reasons contributing to a state of infertility, physiology aside: waiting too long to start a family, and waiting too long to acknowledge that it's not happening. Once women hit 35, fertility starts a downhill slide. In the medical community, the term "infertility" is used after a failure to conceive after about 12 months of trying (six months if the woman is over 35).
Brooke Shields and Dr. Scott joined forces last month to talk about infertility, meeting, appropriately, at the theater where the show, Infertility (The Musical That's Hard To Conceive) is running (see sidebar). They talked informally about Brooke's personal journey, and Dr. Scott's optimism. "I never thought I would have problems," Brooke commented. "I thought we'd decide to start a family and I'd soon become a mom, and it would all be easy, and glorious." Now, looking back, she says: "I never dreamt I would become so informed about women's fertility.
"After a while, when you're not successful, you start to associate the word 'failure' every time you pee on a stick and it doesn't come out the right color. What starts out as a dream becomes a project that's all consuming — everywhere you look, women are pregnant, and every song on the radio seems like it's all about being pregnant! It becomes a very frustrating, frightening place."
Brooke and her husband became one of the one-in-seven couples who experience infertility, the couples who are keeping specialists like Dr. Scott very busy. The endocrinologist has supervised 19,000 IVF cycles; 14,000 of these have resulted in successful pregnancies.
Dr. Scott urges couples to be proactive. "These days," he is happy to report, "you can be diagnosed in your OB/GYN's office in less than a month. And in the first three or four months of treatment, most people will be successful." Those who aren't should then waste no time seeing a specialist. "Outcomes are so good today," he reports, "seventy percent will be successful [with treatments like IVF], and that number continues to improve all the time. The average couple in my clinic spends five months, and then they're pregnant."
Dr. Scott predicts that, with technology constantly evolving, the field of genetic diagnosis is the one which holds the greatest promise. One day soon, he believes, doctors will be able to evaluate who can get pregnant "easily" — and who can't.
Such pre-knowledge, he believes, can only result in more happy endings — like the one Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy are currently experiencing. Now over the devastating postpartum depression (incidentally, studies have shown no connection between infertility problems and PPD), Brooke is returning to her 'charmed life' — with a healthy two-and-a-half-year-old, and a new baby on the way.
"As natural as we'd all like it to seem, it's important for women to be aware of potential problems and to take control," she urges.
"Two eggs do not an omelette make"
The new musical, Infertility (The Musical That's Hard To Conceive), was written by transplanted-from-the-Midwest New Yorkers, Amy and Chris Neuner. It's a poignant and humorous look at infertility, based on the journal Amy kept over a five-year period of trying to become a mom.
The musical (with great voices, signing good songs!) follows the journey of three sets of people longing to become parents: a heterosexual couple not unlike the authors; a lesbian couple; and a career woman with a ticking bio-clock.
Typical of the in-your-face but humorous material in the show, Chris Neuner admits that the idea came to him on one of his numerous visits to the doctor "to collect a specimen". "I was sitting there, trying to do my thing, and I thought, 'This is a musical!'"
And because he figured "nothing is taboo in New York!", he set to work writing songs that are both droll —"Two eggs do not an omelette make." "I'm bouncing checks at the sperm bank" — and poignant: "We used to make love and the whole house shook/Now we make love by our date book."
Chris and Amy can also share a happy ending. At their first attempt at IVF, they conceived twins, now two-and-a-half.
Will their musical cause some seat-squirming because of its very subject? "Laughing at things is the best medicine — if you can hack it," says Chris. And Brooke Shields agrees: "The quicker you can get past the taboo of it, the faster you can ask the questions you need to ask."
Go see it! As Chris Neuner says: "Names have been changed to protect the infertile."
Infertility is playing at Dillons Dinner Theatre, 245 West 54th Street, Thurs.-Sat. at 7pm, through December 31. Tickets, $60, from www.smarttix.com.

Ohne Titel's Spring Adventure – Ohne Titel designers Flora Gill and Alexa Adams' spring 2012 show was inspired by Middle Eastern and Turkish architecture. These eastern influences were seen in feathered necklaces, geometric prints and strappy sandals from their self-titled shoe line. For the most part, silhouettes remained form-fitting and sleek in a strong selection of red, black, yellow and blue hues. When looking towards looser shapes, Gill and Adam used winged, almost cape like backs and billowing skirts.

A test shows that several items of the accessories have an unsafe level of cadmium, which can be dangerous if ingested.
Miley Cyrus' jewelry line has been pulled from shelves at U.S. superstore Walmart after a report revealed the accessories contained high levels of a toxic metal. The "Hannah Montana" star's exclusive range for the store has proven popular with kids, but a test performed for the Associated Press reveals several items from the line have an unsafe level of cadmium, which can be dangerous if ingested.
Although the jewelry pieces are safe to wear, the report notes that if they are "sucked, bitten or swallowed" the cadmium could prove toxic.
And now bosses at Walmart have decided to pull the line, which includes bracelets and necklaces, insisting they will not sell the jewelry "while we investigate its compliance with our children's jewelry standard".
