He wasn't ineffective vs Miami. THere is a reason the leads evaporated to nothing while he was off the court, and they extended leads while he was on the court.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The only reason why people said he was "ineffective" was because the idea that he must be a scorer. It's just a horrible way to look at his game. On the other hand, people look at Tyson Chandler, and completely understand he offers nothing offensively so they don't expect it. They only judge him on his ability to anchor a defense and rebound, something Roy Hibbert did on a similar level.
By the way, Roy Hibbert being able to effectively hinder the offense of a team that has Both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade is incredible. His best series was against Miami. Not Orlando.
He's just fell flat on his face this season and I'm not sure why.

Not saying we should, because its questionable if he'd be on the block, as well as obvious financial concerns and his no trade clause. But just wondering what the package would have to be, knowing it would be gigantic.
M's have Justin Smoak, but are trotting out Jack Cust with his current sub-.700 OPS at DH, although he was pretty good last year. They are also bare at 3B and LF, even though they're high on Peguero, he hasn't showed up yet. That puts Alonso, Frazier, and Francisco all out there. Brendan Ryan is their SS, so Cozart could be also in there. Also, we also have our pitchers that we can dangle if we want.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Deviated septumDeviated septumA deviated septum occurs when your nasal septum is significantly displaced to one side, making one nasal air passage smaller than the other. A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall (nasal septum) between your nasal passages is displaced to one side. In many people, the nasal septum is displaced — or deviated — making one nasal passage smaller. When a deviated septum is severe, it can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow, causing difficulty breathing. The additional exposure of a deviated septum to the drying effect of airflow through the nose may sometimes contribute to crusting or bleeding in certain individuals. Nasal obstruction can occur from a deviated nasal septum, from swelling of the tissues lining the nose, or from both. Treatment of nasal obstruction may include medications to reduce the swelling or nasal dilators that help open the nasal passages. To correct a deviated septum, surgery is necessary.

A BARNSTORMING performance was not enough to save Sam Eggington from an early exit in Prizefighter.
The 19-year-old showed plenty of heart but was eventually beaten on points by Wales' Dale Evans, after the two welterweights slugged out a thrilling three round quarter-final.
Fellow Stourbridge man Steven Pearce also exited at the same stage as he was stopped in the second round by Sunderland's Glenn Foot.
The latter went on to beat Evans in a dramatic final to claim the £32,000 cash prize, after a superb night of boxing at a packed out Wolverhampton Civic Hall last night.
Eggington made history as the youngest fighter ever to appear on the one night, eight man, three-rounds-a-fight tournament and made the most of his first appearance in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
The former Warley amateur star stated he had nothing to lose in the build-up and didn't disappoint, fighting like it was his last day on earth.
Eggington's aggressive approach almost cost him dear inside the opening minute as he was caught flush by a left-right-left combination, which left him stumbling back and looking toward the ceiling. Somehow he was able to stay off the canvas and after gathering himself, began to find the target with shots of his own.
It was frenetic stuff as Eggington landed early in the second round and Evans then countered, both men happy to go toe-to-toe for long periods.
The pattern continued into the third, though by now Evans seemed to be landing the more telling blows as he finished the stronger. All three ringside judges gave him the fight, with two scoring it 29-28 and the other handing him all three rounds but while Eggington will be no doubt disappointed, his all-action display did his reputation no harm.
Sadly the same could not be said of Pearce, who failed to really get going as he lost out to Foot.
A scrappy opening round saw the Stourbridge fighter struggle to make his punches land, though a solid left just seconds before the bell seemed to help his confidence.
But things quickly began to go wrong the in the second. Falling forward, Pearce was went down under a swinging right from Foot and took an eight count.
The damage seemed minimal at first but soon he was shipping solid blows as Foot began to up the tempo. Pearce hit the canvas for a second time after being wrestled to the ground by his opponent and while it wasn't ruled a knockdown, the Stourbridge was visibly struggling and after another flurry of shots from Foot, referee Steve Gray stepped in to end it.
Foot went on to beat Chad Gaynor in the semi-finals, while Evans dumped out pre-tournament favourite Mark Thompson over a brutal three rounds.
Sceptics may have wondered how much each man had left in the tank but the final turned out to be the fight of the night.
Both fighters dished out as good as they got in a fight which had the fans on their feet, Foot eventually winning on a split decision, with most at ringside agreeing it could have gone either way.

According to , once-returners are characterized by attenuation of sensuality and ill-will. It's not specific on what the level of attenuation is.
Is it that a once-returner has recognized that sensuality and ill-will are the central problems which can be addressed by the malleability of mind afforded by stream-entry, and has committed to eradicating them, at which point they are non-returners? Much like a stream-entrant has rejected self-view but still experiences becoming and birth, and becomes an arahant when that is eradicated?

During the Summer Break I'm doing an internship in Toowoomba between the period of 18th November till 9th February and will be looking for a place to live during this period. A little about me: Home is Dubbo NSW, but studying in QLD. I'm a down to earth, chilled person, pretty funny, coffee! I love coffee, watching movies and the occasional glass of bubbles or a great northern. I love animals especially horses (don't have one currently) and I'm allergic to cats (so prefer if you don't have one, but if you do I'll just sneeze a lot). I'm a neat and tidy person who pulls their weight with jobs around the house. Would like to live with people who enjoy hanging out and doing stuff after work, but if you just like to keep to yourself that's completely fine to. I usually go away for weekend, but sometimes do enjoy just doing nothing and watching movies and having a lazy weekend. I go the gym when I can, trying to get that summer bod happening (for 21 years now). Would love to live with a group of people who become like a little family and friends and enjoy our time together. If the internship goes well might be offered a part time job so might end up living in Toowoomba longer and doing uni externally for a year.

I will be working full time during the weekdays and will probably be alternating between my sister's place in Brisbane and the family farm in the bunyas on the weekends but I am up for going out and making new friends in Toowoomba as well :).

Hi! I'm a super cruisey/laidback redhead who likes to not only keep fit and active, but who also loves to eat their weight in choc-mint biscuits! I have two sides to me, one being this arty-farty foodie who was raised by hippies in outback QLD, who loves nature, dirtbikes, pot plants and live music. The other side is a Law and Justice Academic who will just as happily discuss current affairs, investments and reads psychology textbooks for fun. There hasn't been a housemate yet I haven't found common ground with. I'm essentially a homebody and as a result I like my home to be my "escape" so a rowdy/active house is not for me. I respect people's privacy and space but I'm also always up for a winge about our day over an afternoon coffee, or a few casual drinks. My friends would describe me as bubbly, quirky and have a fun/crazy sense of humour. I have the nickname mumma Iz - I'm forever feeding and looking after people! - so you'll never starve with me around. Looking for people who are grounded and like to get to know the people they live with. Also must be of similar age or older. Sorry youngen's! I'm strictly staying Northside also.
I am a nursing student at USQ (nearly finished my second year). I currently live out of town on an acreage but am needing to move into town to be closer to work, uni etc. I am responsible and tidy, and value living a healthy lifestyle. My interests and hobbies include spending time outdoors, CrossFit, animals, and reading. I am looking for a room in a clean, quiet, non-party house. P.S yes that is a baby goat in my profile picture :)
Hi my name is Emma. I work full time Monday to Friday. I'm easy to get along with and I enjoy binge watching tv shows and travelling. I'm looking for a room to rent mid October or sooner. Preferably an all female house.
We are clean and quiet people.
I am super relaxed and fun to be around (well i think so), I work all the time and ride my bike when i'm not at work so i won't spend much time at home! i work in sales at a motorbike shop in town and love all things with wheels!!

Golf notebook: Local players set to start mini-tours
Updated 12:51 am, Wednesday, January 23, 2013
It's not just the PGA Tour that has gotten under way for the new year. Several San Antonio-area players are preparing for a busy spring on the mini-tours.
Leading the charge is Matt Vela, a former Greater San Antonio junior champion and two-time All-American at St. Mary's. The reigning Adams Pro Golf Tour rookie of the year, who finished fifth in the money standings last season, will be back in action on that tour and the NTPGA Players Tour in coming weeks.
Vela, who now lives in Austin, earned $26,009 on the Adams circuit a year ago, while Jeff Rein was ninth at $19,639 and Phillip Hui 16th at $17,371. Vela, a one-time MacArthur standout, also reached the second stage of PGA Tour Qualifying School in 2012.
The Adams Winter Series is under way, and San Antonio's John Kimbell is sixth on the early money list at $5,723. Former Texas State standout Tom Moore is 30th and Will Griffin is tied for 40th.
Kimbell said he also plans to play in some Web.com Tour events, but added, "I just have to play better this year."
Sports Channel
Anthony Rodriguez, a former PGA Tour regular who competed on the Web.com circuit last season, said Tuesday he is unsure of his competitive plans for 2013.
Good start: Boerne's Jimmy Walker is off to another solid start on the PGA Tour this season, earning just less than $93,000 in his first two tournaments.
Walker is 47th on the money list heading into this week's Farmers Insurance Open.
Former Clark golfer Martin Flores has had a rougher start, missing his first two cuts of the season. Flores, a Dallas-area resident, earned $1.035 million last year.
Making legends: The Legends Junior Tour will begin its 2013 schedule this weekend when the Jimmy Demaret Junior Classic will be played at The Hills Country Club-Flintrock Falls in Austin.

Here is list of my goals for GeneaBloggers for 2010:
I always use the exercise "If an alien spaceship were to land and take a look at . . ." when analyzing a blog or website – meaning, what would someone totally unfamiliar with genealogy blogging and GeneaBloggers think if they visited the blog? Is the message clear that it is a resource site on how to get started blogging your ancestors as well as how to keep the blogging momentum going?
Right now, I think I can do better in terms of organizing
1. Utilize a Web Toolbar
Just like some blogs and websites have developed a downloadable toolbar to make their sites more useful (see the March 2010 issue of Family Tree Magazine), I need to develop one for GeneaBloggers. I want to include a search function so users can search across all 800+ genealogy blogs. I also want to include a link to GeneaBloggers resources pages on PDFs, photos, data backup and more!
2. Make "Getting Started" More Prominent
Those who are new to genealogy blogging or who want to know how to get started should be able to find a series of "how tos" quickly. This is not happening right now.
3. Separate Area for Blogging Prompts
While I continue to stress the importance of the Daily Blogging Prompts as well as carnivals and memes, I think right now they take up too much room on the GeneaBloggers site.
I need a better way to organize these posts as well as the roll-up widgets that display the posts from members of GeneaBloggers.
4. Create Podcasts and Webcasts
People learn through various methods and I think that having step-by-step instructional videos would greatly help those who have questions on how to set up a blog, how to add widgets etc.
In addition, a regularly scheduled podcast would be geared more towards discussion of topics rather than instructions or how-tos. One idea is to have a monthly call-in type radio program where there is participation from the genealogy community.
5. Seek More Guest Posts
Following the example set by Gini Webb and her series of May I Introduce To You posts about new genealogy bloggers, it would be great to have other genealogy bloggers contribute periodically to GeneaBloggers as guest authors.
6. Develop a Mobile Version of GeneaBloggers
Make GeneaBloggers more mobile app friendly as well as develop a mobile app to assist genealogists with their research.
7. Larger Conference Presence
Currently, GeneaBloggers is scheduled to have a presence at the Arizona Family History Expo in Mesa, Arizona on January 22-23, 2010 as well as the Southern California Genealogical Society's Jamboree June 11-13, 2010.
Investigate attending at several other conferences including NGS, FGS as well as others.

You can make a salary making furniture. Or you can make a difference. Or you can work at Herman Miller and make both. Speak up, solve problems, lead others, and be an owner. All while giving back to the community and caring for a better world. Join us and make your mark.
Speak Up
People who speak up and share ideas make for a strong business. Embracing good ideas and sharing the rewards with everyone is one way we stand apart.
Solve Problems
We use design to do that. You don't have to be a "designer" to make things better—for customers, for the communities we do business in, and for a better world.
Envision the future and help others reach their potential. Sometimes you'll lead and other times follow. We believe everyone does both, depending on the problem to be solved.
At Herman Miller everyone can be a shareholder. But more so, you'll be a stakeholder, because we're all challenged to design solutions and make decisions that improve our community, our business, and our world.

Heyward on board with return to leadoff spot
ATLANTA -- On the way to winning the National League East last year, the Braves produced a 14-game winning streak that was aided by the decision to move Jason Heyward to the leadoff spot. A little more than a year later, they found themselves mired in an offensive funk that had led to them winning just twice over the past two weeks entering Wednesday night.
So in an attempt to rekindle some of last year's magic, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez opted to put Jason Heyward back in the leadoff spot. Although it is too soon to tell if this move will provide a similar spark, Heyward's role in Wednesday night's 3-2 victory against the Dodgers is a sign of encouragement.
Heyward finished 1-for-4, using that one hit to set up the Braves' fifth-inning rally. He reached base on a one-out single against Hyun-Jin Ryu, advanced to second when Ryu plunked Freddie Freeman with a pitch and then showed off his speed by scoring from second on a Justin Upton single to plate the winning run.
There has been some reason to wonder if Gonzalez might eventually platoon Heyward and Emilio Bonifacio in the leadoff role, but the skipper showed he is not interested in that arrangement when he put Heyward in the first spot of his lineup for Wednesday night's matchup against Ryu.
The Braves entered this contest having lost 11 of their previous 13 games, a span burdened by an offense that had scored two runs or less in 13 of their previous 24 games.
"[Heyward] might add a spark or some energy up there and get us going a little bit," Gonzalez said. "I talked to Jason about it yesterday afternoon and he was great. He's a pro. He'll do whatever it takes for us to win. He brings it every night."

LAS VEGAS - The suspect in the murder of Winters resident Leslie Pinkston told a judge Thursday that he fears for his safety but won't contest his transfer to Yolo County to face charges.
William Carl Gardner III told Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure that unspecified people threatened to kill him in California.
The judge said Gardner needed to lodge his concerns with jailers.
The 30-year-old appeared without a lawyer by videoconference from the Clark County jail.
Bonaventure said California authorities have 30 days to retrieve him.
As early as next week, Gardner could appear in Yolo Superior Court on murder and probation-violation charges in the slaying of his ex-girlfriend Pinkston, 32.
Gardner had been sought on a murder warrant in the Nov. 18 shooting death of Pinkston in a vehicle in downtown Winters. Gardner is alleged to have shot his ex-girlfriend at least four times, and at least once in the head.
Pinkston, the mother of a 6-year-old girl, had a court protection order against Gardner after previous confrontations, police said.
Gardner initially appeared confused by the extradition choices he was given, then agreed not to require the governor of California to issue a warrant to Nevada seeking his return.
Gardner surrendered to police and U.S. marshals early Tuesday after an hours-long standoff at a Las Vegas apartment. Police said another man, a woman and the woman's 3-year-old child were in the apartment, but weren't held against their will.
Police said the woman was charged with obstructing a public officer, a misdemeanor, for not exiting the apartment when told to do so.
Gardner was unarmed when he surrendered.

James Hoggan | November 7, 2007
By James Hoggan • Wednesday, November 7, 2007 - 17:40
The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association (CVMA) has launched a highly misleading advertising and PR campaign against new emission standards - especially targeting individual provinces (like British Columbia) that have the courage to push ahead of limp or non-existent federal regulations.
Saying that "new cars, SUVs and light duty vans and pickups contribute just 1% of greenhouse gases in Canada each year," and claiming that "strict new standards are coming forward nationally in both Canada and the US," the car makers say the provinces (and presumably US states) should stay out of the process.
This is misleading on at least two counts. First, concentrating on the 1% of total Canadian emissions that come from brand new vehicles is nothing more than an effort to absolve automakers for the 12.5% of additional national emissions that pour forth from the existing fleet. Who, one might reasonably ask, made and sold all those vehicles?
Why, for the past decade or more, were automakers fighting emission standards on every front, browbeating the Canadian government and suing against new standards in California. And whose responsibility is is that North American automakers have been concentrating their advertising on their largest, least efficient models?
Modern cars last 10 to 15 years. The mistakes we make today - the lax standards that we allow to prevail - will continue to have impact for more than a decade to come, building up in inexorable 1% increments.
The second highly misleading point is that "strict new standards are coming forward nationally in both Canada and the US." If this is true, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President George Bush have been disguising their intentions brilliantly.
The only time the U.S. national government ever addresses automotive emission standards is after California and a handful of other states lead the way. The air quality that we enjoy in all North American cities today is a credit to pollution standards initiated in California in the late '60s and early '70s. Far from "de-linking from the current integrated North American approach to auto design and production," new state regulations have tended to force improvements that everyone gets to enjoy.
A similar point can be made in relation to the CVMA threat that "families, businesses and farmers would have far less choice of the vehicles they need" if Canadian provinces start matching California's emission demands. Lack of choice is precisely the problem. Canadians have a wide selection of unnecessarily huge trucks and recreational vehicles, but a pathetically poor set of choices when it comes to innovative new technology. The car makers clearly won't move until they are pushed, and the governments of Harper and Bush have shown that they won't move unless regional leaders like California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell lead the way.
This ad campaign is the worst kind of old-style public manipulation. It shows that while the automakers could quickly become an important part of the climate change solution, they have chosen instead to press on, denying, with the 1% figure, that the choices Canadians make matter in the world.
Our streets are (relatively) clean of litter and safe from muggers and murderers because we have decided that some things are intolerable and we have created a system of rules and laws designed to make everyone toe the line.
In dodging its responsibility, in claiming that its 1% annual contribution to our climate crisis is somehow irrelevant, the CVMA is pressing its own dirty, self-serving policies on the world, passing up any chance to be part of the solution and continuing to make itself a huge, cynical part of the problem.

When the offseason began, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross stated that finding a new quarterback was a priority. Well, the search continues and the options are dwindling.
The latest QB who Miami chased but decided to go elsewhere is Matt Flynn. Flynn played for new Fins head coach Joe Philbin in Green Bay. He was a back-up who learned the system under Philbin and star QB Aaron Rodgers.
Yet, for some reason, Miami didn't make Flynn a good enough offer. He heads to the Seattle Seahawks for a deal that includes 10 million dollars guaranteed.
Why couldn't the Dolphins match that? Did they not feel 100% convinced Flynn could be a long-term starter.
It will be interesting to hear the answer.
Meantime, we all wait for a quarterback answer. Next in line is 49ers starter Alex Smith. Most assumed he'd re-sign with San Francisco after a breakout season, but with the Niners now in the Peyton Manning chase, he's looking at other options.
The former top overall pick could be a good fit in Miami, but remember, he was considered a major bust until his big season in 2011. Is he worth the big contract he may command?
The Dolphins didn't feel Flynn was worth it, and we'll see if they think Smith is part of the future.
One thing is clear, the chase for a new QB, that Ross stressed was so important, has sure been a strange process.
Oh, and if you're wondering, former Jaguars starter David Garrard is scheduled for a visit to Dolphins camp on Monday.
Let the Dolphins March madness continue.

Muskingum College Alumnus and Trustee William T. Dentzer, Jr. inducted into OFIC Hall of Excellence
APRIL 1, 2004 - Muskingum College alumnus and long-time trustee William T. Dentzer, Jr. has been inducted into the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges (OFIC) Hall of Excellence. The induction took place at the organization's Evening of Excellence banquet in Columbus the evening of March 31.
Dentzer is the retired founding chairman of the board and retired chief executive officer of The Depository Trust Company, the world's largest securities depository.
Following his graduation from Muskingum in 1951, Dentzer held various U.S. government posts concerned with international economic development in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His last assignment in Washington, D.C. was as Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States and the Inter-American Committee on the Alliance for Progress.
Later, after moving to New York, he was the state banking regulator under Governor Rockefeller and, thereafter, assumed the duties of founding chairman of the board and chief executive officer of The Depository Trust Company, which was created in response to the securities industry crisis of the late 1960s.
Dentzer's impressive career has provided the backdrop for a series of lectures that he delivered as the Muskingum College Distinguished Professor of American Studies. In 1995, he received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor bestowed by Muskingum's Alumni Association.
"As a member of the Muskingum Board of Trustees since 1972, Mr. Dentzer has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the College with his leadership. His achievements in the national and worldwide financial arenas and in service to Muskingum and his community make him an important role model and inspiration for all," said Muskingum College President Dr. Anne C. Steele.
Dentzer joins these Muskingum alumni honorees in the Hall: Senator John H. Glenn, Jr., U.S. Senator and astronaut; Annie Glenn, advocate for health disabilities; Charles J. Pilliod, retired chair of the board and CEO, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.; Jacqueline Dudek Woods, former president, Ameritech Ohio; Jack Hanna, television personality and director emeritus, Columbus Zoo; and Philip Caldwell, retired chairman of the board and CEO, Ford Motor Company.

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are excerpted from Joan Nathan's book The Foods of Israel Today. Nathan also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.
To read more about Nathan and Israeli cuisine, click here.
According to the Ten Commandments, "On the seventh day thou shalt rest," which means that no cooking can be done on the Sabbath. This tradition is the reason Israel is truly the center of the world for cholent, an overnight stew. Almost all Jewish families have brought their own unique versions — with Hungarian smoked goose breast, Brazilian black beans, Moroccan rice, Bukharan turkey giblets and raisin-stuffed cucumbers, or Polish barley and meat. A dish that has experienced a rebirth even among secular Israelis in the last few years, cholent is often served as a centerpiece main course for parties, usually blending several traditions in one exciting creation.
Eons ago, needing a dish that could be kept warm for the Sabbath, Jewish cooks came up with an overnight stew, the ingredients for which varied depending on where they lived. The stew was tightly sealed, often with a paste-like dough, and cooked before the Sabbath began, then left overnight in the embers to warm until the next day. During World War II, before Israelis had proper ovens, the cholent often was simmered over the small flame of a kerosene stove, the lid covered with two heavy bricks.
The word cholent comes from the French chaud, meaning "warm," and lent, meaning "slow." In Israel, it is also called hamim, Hebrew for "warm." Like outdoor grilling, preparing cholent seems to have become the Israeli man's domain. It is served on every Israeli army base on Saturday, even in small military units on their own at lookout posts throughout the country, since the army, which officially observes the dietary laws, must serve a traditional Sabbath meal.
This Hebronite hamim recipe was given to me by Amnon Lipkin Shachak, a former Israeli army chief of staff. He combines the Ashkenazic basic beans and barley with Sephardic sausages and the long-cooking eggs in their shells called huevos haminadav to make an innovative Sabbath dish from Hebron, the city from which part of his family hails. According to him, the recipe changes each time he makes it, depending on what he can find in the cupboard. This version requires kishke (a traditional delicacy made of flour and fat stuffed into sausage casing, today obtainable from Jewish specialty stores) and the robust and highly aromatic eastern Mediterranean spice combination of baharat (see Tips, below).
- Yield
- Yield: 10 to 12 servings
- 1 1/2 cups white or red kidney beans
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 4-pound beef brisket, with fat
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 cup parched wheat (frika), bulgur, or barley
- 4-5 beef soup bones
- 1 pound kishke
- 1 pound pearl onions
- 5 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
- 6 large eggs in the shell
- 2 tablespoons baharat, or to taste
- 4-5 teaspoons beef soup powder or 4 beef bouillon cubes
- 1. On Thursday night, soak the white or red beans and chickpeas in cold water to cover.
- 2. On Friday morning, in a large heavy pot, sauté the onions in the vegetable oil until translucent. Then add the brown sugar and the water and carefully caramelize the onions over very low heat. Turn off the heat until the remaining ingredients are prepared.
- 3. Drain the beans and scatter them on top of the onions.
- 4. Cut the fat from the brisket, dice the fat, and set it aside. Rinse the rice in cold water and then drain; repeat twice more. Season the rice with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and dot with about 4 tablespoons of cubed beef fat. Place the rice in the center of a sheet of cheesecloth and enclose it loosely, so that the rice can expand. Tie with a thin strip of cheesecloth or twine and set aside.
- 5. Season the frika, bulgur, or barley with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper, dot with about 4 tablespoons of cubed beef fat, and put it in another piece of cheesecloth. Tie it up loosely.
- 6. Add the beef bones to the onions in the pot. Set the brisket on top, then the 2 bags of grains, the kishke, pearl onions, potatoes, and eggs. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste, pepper, baharat, and soup powder. Add water to cover, cover the pot, and ring to a boil. Then transfer to a preheated 200-degree oven to cook overnight or put the pot on a blech (a heated asbestos pad which many Jewish cooks use to keep Sabbath dishes warm) over low heat and leave until ready to serve.
- Joan Nathan shares her tips with Epicurious:
- •For this dish, Nathan prefers the texture and flavor of dried chickpeas and beans to canned.
•Baharat, an Eastern Mediterranean spice blend, generally includes paprika, hot pepper, black pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves, and salt. It is available at Middle Eastern markets. If you can't find it, Nathan recommends using your favorites from the list above, being sure to include pepper.
•"This dish can easily be made in a slow cooker," says Nathan. "Sauté the onions and place them in the cooker, then add the drained beans and other ingredients. Leave the dish to cook throughout the day or overnight."
- •For this dish, Nathan prefers the texture and flavor of dried chickpeas and beans to canned.

This class was fun and very practical. I feel that I can apply the material right away and help me grow my web presence. Thanks!
I was very happy with the course and with the instructor. I got more than I expected. I would definitely recommend both the course and Robin to others. I hope to take other classes Robin teaches as I believe she is a gifted teacher.
Instructor was knowledgeable; course content was right on the mark.
I am very happy that I took this class.... it was exactly what I needed to understand many of the terms being thrown around my workplace.
I really enjoyed the class and plan to put my new knowledge into effect for the coming school year. I hope to get teachers to use blogs and wikis especially with their classes
This course took the fear factor out of some things I had wanted to do for a while. Steps were broken down into doable parts. The instructor provided alternatives that let me learn the material even when I lacked technology (like a webcam or digital camcorder) that would have been useful. Best of all, I could fit the course into my schedule instead of the other way around. Thanks!
This is a very good course! And the step by step instructions are very useful and made things accessible to a non-techie.
Great course. Lots of extra effort by instructor in putting it together. I learned a lot.
This course benefited me even though I had previous blogging experience. It was more detailed and easier to follow along than other instruction that I have had. The cost for this course was also very reasonable.
I've taken a lot of courses over the years. I have two post-graduate degrees, and this was, without a doubt, the best I have ever taken. Loved the bits of humor and especially enjoyed my celebration dances--how did you know. Simply outstanding!

National Review - Cover Story: An End to Marijuana Prohibition
Never before have so many Americans supported decriminalizing and even legalizing marijuana. Meanwhile, the debate over ending its prohibition simmers just below the surface of mainstream politics, crossing ideological and partisan boundaries. Marijuana is no longer the symbol of 1960s rebellion and 1970s permissiveness, and it's not just liberals and libertarians who say it should be legal.
National Review - John P. Walters vs. Ethan Nadelmann on Marijuana
In July 2004, DPA made waves when Executive Director Ethan Nadelmann's cover story on marijuana legalization ran in National Review, America's leading conservative magazine. Nadelmann's article was well received in conservative circles-throwing Drug Czar John Walters into a tizzy. This led National Review to do something truly remarkable: the magazine gave Walters a forum to air the Bush administration's views on marijuana while also allowing Nadelmann the opportunity to rebut Walters's erroneous claims.
On Liberty and Drugs - Essays on the Free Market and Prohibition
In this unique anthology, Professor Milton Freidman and Dr. Thomas Szasz advance parallel arguments for ending the war on drugs by returning to the free market controls of the nineteenth century.

San Diego police on Friday were alerting people in Rancho Bernardo after a resident awoke to find a prowler inside her home and another resident reported a burglary two hours later.
Police were called to a house on Matinal Circle west of West Bernardo Drive at 2:20 a.m. Thursday when homeowners reported their daughter had woke up to the sound of footsteps on the downstairs wood floor, police said.
She got out of bed and looked downstairs and saw a man she described as having short spiky hair wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, baggy jeans and white high-top sneakers.
When he realized she was there, he left out the front door in an unknown direction, police said. He stole a cell phone, said Lt. Steve Villalobos.
The intruder had opened two rear screen doors looking for unlocked windows before he found the front door unlocked. He used a potted plant to prop open the front screen door, police said.
Two hours later and a couple of blocks away on Chieftain Court, a man reported that his laptop had been stolen and his sliding glass door was open.
He told officers that he had been working on the computer about 1 a.m. and then went to sleep. When he returned to it about 4:30 a.m., it was gone, police said.
A couple of minutes later, two neighbors on Carranza Drive called police and said their outdoor motion lights kept turning on and off. Three other residents reported having their rear sliding screen doors partially opened, police said. Some found their front and side gates open.
Investigators are trying to determine if all of the incidents are related. Officers are conducting extra patrols in the area.
Villalobos said Friday there were no additional reports of the prowler overnight Thursday. He cautioned residents to be vigilant, keep their doors and windows locked, and call police at (619) 531-2000 to report any suspicious activity in the area.

Many of us have difficulty putting our faith into words. We do believe, and we live by what we believe, but as soon as we consider telling someone else about our faith, we are at a loss for words.
Faith is lived. The profound and wonderful reality of life is beyond words.
And yet life is incomplete if we do not find a way to share it.
So we attempt to tell of what is most important to us, even if the words are not perfect. Perhaps this is why people sing, dance, draw, paint and sculpt.
Art may enlighten us, or challenge us or delight us; it is also a means of sharing what is in the heart of the artist, which we may recognize and grasp because it is in our hearts as well.
Sandra Grassi Nelipovich, a local artist, creates batik on silk.
This means she dyes the silk with a light color and paints with wax on the areas where she wants this color preserved.
She designs delightful scenes of cities and towns, real and imagined. Last year I watched a child find the characters from children's stories that were drawn into the details of one of her beautiful batiks.
Another local artist, Leroy Schmaltz, often begins with recycled boards, assembled into larger panels to form an old wood surface for a painting or collage.
Schmaltz is known internationally for his Polynesian-inspired art, which is often used in the entertainment industry, major stores, restaurants, and countless yards and homes.
Nelipovich and Schmaltz are the featured artists this year at the 53rd annual Hillcrest Festival of Fine Arts, taking place at Hillcrest Congregational Church from Feb. 22 to 24.
About 200 other artists will show their work as well, and most of the paintings, sculpture, pottery and photos will be for sale. Musicians will provide live entertainment.
If you spend an hour or two at the art festival, you are likely to find a piece that reflects what is most meaningful to you. Even if the subject is not specifically religious, a friend may see this and understand the deeper truth that motivates and guides you.

Obama's Aid Proposals Could Use a Reality Check
In the last few days, President Obama has rightly called the nation's attention to the importance of higher education. He is right to criticize states for not putting postsecondary education higher on their list of financing priorities. He is right that the federal government should design effective incentives for both states and institutions to better serve students.
But students would stand to lose quite a bit in the unlikely event that the key proposals he advanced last week were implemented as described. Student aid would become much more complicated. Students would be punished for the acts of their states and institutions. The focus would move even further away from what students learn and toward how much they earn shortly after they graduate.
Let's step back a moment to review some basic realities. The federal government provides about $136-billion in grants and loans to undergraduate students annually. And the federal government has responsibility for addressing questions of inequality and opportunity for Americans, in addition to maintaining the overall strength of our economy. So higher education is a valid federal concern.
But state governments are primarily responsible for establishing, supporting, and managing colleges and universities in this country. Despite their retreat in recent years, states still provide a significant portion of the operating funds for public colleges and universities. It is also the states that license private colleges (for-profit and nonprofit) to operate. States have the constitutional authority for education, and they make the central decisions, which vary quite drastically across the nation.
The federal government gives some money directly to institutions. But its dollars go mainly to help students pay the prices set by the states and by institutions. Through our research, we have accumulated quite a bit of evidence over the years about what makes federal student-aid programs most effective in increasing educational opportunities and educational attainment. We know that complexity is a barrier. Programs should have simple application processes and predictable amounts of aid. We know that lower-income students are more price-sensitive than more-affluent students, so tailoring subsidies to those with the least resources is efficient as well as fair.
We also know something about how students choose where to enroll. Most students attend public colleges, and they stay in the states in which they live because out-of-state tuition is much higher. Lower-income students are particularly likely to stay close to home.
The president's proposals don't pay close enough attention to these realities.
Is it feasible to create institutional ratings based on prices, accessibility for low-income students, and results?
Providing simple and meaningful information to students is a good idea. But the reality is that it's not easy to measure postsecondary outcomes. What students learn is not on the list, probably because of the measurement challenges. But surely it is at or near the top of the list of what we should care about. We want people to get good jobs when they finish school, but do we really want to suggest that maximizing earnings should be the primary goal? Should we value colleges that educate investment bankers more than we value colleges that educate teachers and social workers? Did the president waste his expensive Ivy League education when he went to work as a community organizer instead of heading to Wall Street?
Excessive student debt is a problem. But should we expect colleges with low-income populations to have levels of student debt as low as those with wealthy populations?
We can't expect a place that is accessible to almost all high-school graduates to match Harvard's graduation rate. We can compare only "similar" institutions, but that is not an easy task, and we should still put a floor under how low a graduation rate we can accept: If a college graduates almost no students, we must question how much it is improving its students' lives. We shouldn't leave it to students to avoid these colleges: States don't have to license them, and the federal government needn't make them eligible for student-aid funds.
So none of these factors are easy to measure. Surely combining all of them into one "rating" is even more problematic. And what about the differences in programs within institutions? Do we just average the ratings (based on such factors as graduation rates, earnings, debt) of future welders with those of English majors? The data and analytical demands of going program by program would be overwhelming.
If we had a rating system, would it be advisable to adjust the aid packages received by individual students to account for the ratings of the institutions at which they are enrolled?
This is the fundamental problem with the president's proposal. There is a huge difference between financing institutions based on their performance and adjusting the support for individual students based on the performance of their institutions. As the proposal stands, the penalty for a college that charges its students too much is to take away some of those students' Pell Grant dollars, making the unfortunate students who enroll there still worse off.
Perhaps the idea behind the proposal is that students will vote with their feet. They will avoid colleges that charge too much or don't have high enough graduation rates. In reality, students don't have that much flexibility. If a low-income student lives in a state with a poorly run public system, she's stuck, unable to afford out-of-state tuition or private alternatives. Cutting her Pell Grant just doesn't help.
And then there's the issue of complexity. Just as we are gaining consensus and momentum for making Pell Grant awards predictable, we will tell students and families that their awards depend on the rating their college gets on a complicated index that can change unpredictably from year to year.
Happily, there are other ideas on the president's list that hold greater promise.
Can we ease the problems some students have with repaying their loans?
In recent years, the government has built in some important safeguards for students who face repayment problems with their federal loans. For most students, there is an income-based-repayment (IBR) plan that prevents them from having to make payments exceeding a reasonable proportion of their discretionary incomes. But relatively few students take advantage of this option, and the president's idea of notifying students individually to help them navigate the system is excellent. It would be even better if IBR were the default option and borrowers didn't have to jump through any hoops to join the plan.
The president has also promised to fix the problem that, as currently designed, the program provides undue subsidies to some relatively high earners who borrow very heavily for graduate school and can get their loans forgiven even if they have reasonable earnings. This loophole needs to be closed quickly.
Is the focus on cost-cutting innovations appropriate?
Cost-cutting innovation is everyone's favorite solution to providing people with things they value but hate to pay for. Providing federal subsidies to states and institutions to find such innovations is an excellent role for the government. But we have little evidence at this point about some of the ideas highlighted by the president as "best practices." We don't know whether MOOCs have the potential to help students—particularly at-risk students—learn more while paying less. Nor do we have enough evidence about so-called competency-based degrees to know if they will increase meaningful educational opportunities or just let us count more people as having college degrees. These are great questions for research, but we don't yet know the answers.
This incentive program can and should be designed to allow for real, meaningful innovation.
The president is right to focus on college access and affordability. Assuring that postsecondary education contributes to reductions in social and economic inequality is vital. His focus on providing accessible data to inform student decisions and on creating incentives for institutions to provide quality education at a reasonable price to a diverse student population is appropriate. But this is not a problem the federal government can solve by itself or by trying to tune financial-aid policy to bend states and institutions to its will.
The federal government should recognize the limits of its role in micromanaging colleges and universities that it does not and, according to our Constitution, should not control. Our system of higher education is diverse by design, with lots of different types of institutions offering a wide variety of students many distinct opportunities. We have to improve the system and make it easier for students of all ages and from all backgrounds to benefit from it. But we should be wary of the unintended consequences of solutions that sound simple for problems that are very complex.

But You're wrong. I've never once disputed Paul is now the "star" of the team. It's his team, and we'll only go as far as he leads us.Originally Posted by Ace E.AndersonThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I said Paul got hot, because he was having a very inconsistent start to the season and we were being carried by D.West. After the goose egg in GS, everything changed for PG and the Pacers. He "got hot" and has been playing balls to the walls ever since. No complaints here. He is easily more talented and more diverse than Danny ever could be. Doesn't make Danny chopped liver nor does it make him any less important.
Prior to this home stand, everyone was clamoring for Danny to come back and Lance was seemingly hitting a wall. Now that he's playing great right now, we want to delegate Danny to the bench, and I don't think it's that simple. That's my beef

Granger Producing
While Learning
By Conrad Brunner | Oct. 21, 2005 Danny Granger isn't one to get carried away.
His level of play just might be the most pleasant development of the Pacers' preseason. The first-round pick from New Mexico has put together consecutive double-doubles, totaling 30 points and 26 rebounds in victories over San Antonio and Minnesota. He's the second-leading rebounder in the NBA in the preseason (9.2) and the second-leading rookie scorer (12.8).
"Danny has a lot of experience for a rookie player," said Coach Rick Carlisle. "He is an older guy, and I love his businesslike demeanor. I know when you're a rookie, even if you're a 24-year-old rookie as I was when I came into the league, things are spinning. I admire the fact that he's able to give the appearance it's not because that's a lot of what it's about. We're asking him to do a lot. He's going to make steady strides but it's going to take some time."
If things are spinning, Granger has done a superb job maintaining his balance. He gives a constant appearance of calm control while on the court. When frustrated by a call or mistake, he simply walks away and gathers himself, rather than becoming demonstrative.
"Regardless of whether I'm having a good game, I always try to keep the same emotional level," Granger said. "That way, you don't show frustration on the court. (Carlisle) is right. As a rookie, my head is spinning out there. Half the time, I don't know where I'm going, so it's a long process. I know I'm going to constantly be learning new things and I'm going to make mistakes. I just can't let my mistakes turn into more mistakes."
A small forward by trade, Granger is being asked to learn the power forward position because injuries have left the Pacers so shorthanded up front. That has doubled the homework but he's giving every appearance of being a quick study. Granger was particularly impressive against the Spurs Tuesday night, racking up 19 points, 15 rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots. He followed that up with 11 points and a 11 rebounds against the Timberwolves in Billings, Mont., Thursday night.
"This is tough for him because we're asking him to play a perimeter position and one of our big positions," Carlisle said. "He certainly brings the effort, he brings good intentions, he brings a real positive spirit to our team. He's going to keep getting better.
"John Wooden had a great saying: be quick but don't hurry. Danny has a tendency at times to be in a hurry. The only way you learn about that is to be out there playing, to study film and keep working. He's a guy that's going to work, is going to study the game and is going to get better. Each game is a step for him."
To this point, every step has been forward, though Granger is hardly impressed with his own progress.
"It gives me a little confidence, but you're never as good or as bad as you think you are," he said. "I'm going to have good and bad games but what's important is I keep learning from my mistakes.
"I'm still new to the whole NBA game. I still haven't picked up a lot. I'm still learning constantly. This is just the beginning."
For the Pacers, that's the best news of all.

Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The MusicCenter Presents L.A. Dance Project This September
Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The MusicCenter will kick-off its 2012-2013 10th Anniversary season with its commission of the inaugural full-length program by L.A. Dance Project founded by acclaimed choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The L.A. Dance Project commission will have its premiere performances September 22 and 23, 2012 at The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall.
The program will include Millepied's World Premiere specifically created for The Music Center in collaboration with composer Nico Muhly and artist Christopher Wool with costumes by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte; "Quintett" (1993) by William Forsythe with music by Gavin Bryars; and "Winterbranch" (1964) by Merce Cunningham, music by La Monte Young and costumes and object conceived by Robert Rauschenberg. The program will be performed by Amanda Wells, Julia Eichten, Frances Chaverini, Charlie Hodge, Morgan Lugo, Nathan Makolandra and Benjamin Millepied, all of whom are now based in Los Angeles.
Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) was a leader of the American avant-garde throughout his seventy-year career and is considered one of the most important choreographers of our time. Through much of his life, he was also one of the greatest American dancers. With an artistic career distinguished by constant innovation, Cunningham expanded the frontiers not only of dance, but also of contemporary visual and performing arts. His collaborations with artistic innovators from every creative discipline have yielded an unparalleled body of American dance, music, and visual art. "Winterbranch" premiered in Hartford CT and was performed all over the world during the company's 1964 tour and caused a sensation wherever it was given. It remained in repertory until 1976.
William Forsythe (born in 1949 in New York) is recognized worldwide as a leading choreographer whose radical interpretation of contemporary ballet has re-defined the medium. Using the universal language of classical ballet as a foundation, Forsythe has created his own ingenious movement vocabulary. "Quintett" which Forsythe has called a waltz for five dancers, premiered in Frankfurt in 1993 at a time when his young wife was terminally ill. William Forsythe didn't exactly approach the creation of "Quintett" in 1993 as an elegy or even memento mori--. He planned it as a final love letter to her before she died.
Millepied – known for his acclaimed choreographies for the Paris Opera Ballet and NYC Ballet, as well as for his workon the award-winning film BLACK SWAN - is a leading dancer, choreographer, artist, and director.
Millepied's L.A. Dance Project is a curatorial collective, which includes composer Nico Muhly, art consultant Matthieu Humery, video producer Dimitri Chamblas and producer Charles Fabius. Together, they conceive, commission, and present original programs exploring new ways to promote dance. Different from a dance company, L.A. Dance Project fosters and curates artist collaborations for the theatre stage as well as for specific sites and promotes educational programs. It is the Collective's goal to create new work and to revive seminal collaborations from the past. Programs will include full-length evenings in traditional theater venues as well as various modular performances in non-traditional environments. L.A. Dance Project hopes to establish a new working model and to reach out to new audiences.
Each project is developed through preliminary think tanks and workshops in L.A. and subsequently presented throughout the world. Christopher Wool and Mark Bradford are the first artists to collaborate with L.A. Dance Project.
L.A. Dance Project has taken up residence in Downtown L.A. at Los Angeles Theatre Center, at the heart of a vibrant community, steps away from The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall and MOCA, two institutions first to present the Collective's projects in 2012.
Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center commissions and premieres the initial full-length program on September 22, 2012 with L.A. Dance Project presenting partners Chatelet, Paris, Maison de la Danse, Lyon and Sadler's Wells, London. A worldwide tour, which includes works by Cunningham, Forsythe and Millepied, continues through 2013. The Paris Chatelet is Presenting Partner for The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall World Premiere. L.A. Dance Project has established further International partnerships with Sadler's Wells, London and Maison de la Danse in Lyon, France.
The L.A. Dance Project engagement is supported in part by Lead Sponsor Center Dance Arts.Opening night celebration sponsored by Van Cleef & Arpels.
Renae Williams Niles, Director of Programming for The Music Center, says, "We are extremely honored to work with Benjamin on his first Los Angeles based project. Benjamin has established himself as one of the world's most commissioned choreographers. We feel Millepied's commitment to create new work right here and bring together local and internationally renowned artists is worthy of support. For The Music Center to play this significant national and international role allows us to achieve our goals of leadership in a phenomenally influential way."
