Luke Joeckel is the No. 1 seed in the 2013 NFL Draft. The Louisville Cardinals are the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Or something like that.
Filling out a mock bracket in March is a national obsession. Draftniks can only hope mock drafting becomes such the rage. For those of us who love making picks of any kind, the month provides a beautiful convergence between the end of college basketball and the unofficial beginning of the pro football season. Why else would the Field of 68 and the First Round of 32 add up to the Magical 100?
For 2013, a good start means knowing James Madison isn't a top wide receiver prospect and Tavon Austin isn't the 16th seed in the East Regional. For those of you who are more well-versed in the art of mocking, here are some sleeper tips with real upside:
Mock draft: Don't trust the Big Ten
Mock bracket: Trust the Big Ten
For the first time since 1953, there's a strong possibility there will not be a first-round draft pick from the Big Ten. Sixty years ago, there were 13 first-round selections.
The only real candidates are a pair of defensive tackles, Purdue's Kawann Short and Ohio State's Jonathan Hankins. With other players at the position rising, mocking in the two Big Ten DTs late in the round is becoming less popular. As if we haven't heard enough about the conference not having the football talent to stack up with other premier conferences.
Basketball is a different story. Seven Big Ten teams made this tournament, and its four best squads—Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State—all have potential to play in the same Final Four. It's been 13 years since a Big Ten team (MSU) won a national championship in basketball, but since 2000, the conference has put 10 teams in the Final Four.
Not one of the aforementioned teams is seeded below No. 4, and Wisconsin (No. 5) and Illinois (No. 7), with some big wins this season, are dangerous floaters. It's smart to avoid Big Ten players in your mock, but don't shy away from picking its teams often in your bracket.
Mock draft: Don't undervalue the smaller guys who can pass
Mock bracket: Don't undervalue the bigger guys who can shoot
As we were reminded by first-round talent Russell Wilson falling into the third round last season, concerns about size at quarterback can be severely outweighed by head and heart. Compared to the 5-11 Wilson, Geno Smith and Matt Barkley, each standing under 6-3, look like giants. Everyone is excited about the potential of lanky Mike Glennon, but he'll be looking up at them—they should be top-10 picks—at the end of April.
The athletic tall guy with a sweet scorer's touch in the tournament is like a great receiving tight end—he creates consistent matchup nightmares. Indiana (Cody Zeller), Duke (Mason Plumlee) and Gonzaga (Kelly Olynyk) each have one of those to power through the bracket for a while. In earlier rounds, Creighton (Doug McDermott) and Bucknell (Mike Muscala) are armed to advance.
Mock draft: When in doubt, go SEC
Mock bracket: When in doubt, go Big East
Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida keep churning out top-flight NFL players. It's simply not fair that they've been joined by SEC newcomers Texas A&M (Joeckel) and Missouri (Sheldon Richardson) in adding to the conference's first-round overload. Even in a disappointing year, Tennessee (Cordarrelle Patterson) is likely to have the first wide receiver off the board.
In the final year of the Big East as we know it, the conference sent eight teams to the tourney. Louisville is the favorite to win it all, but Georgetown, Syracuse and Marquette all have the makeup to go deep. The other four—Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Villanova and Cincinnati—are battle-tested teams that will be tough early matchups. The Big East has produced five Final Four teams in the past four tournaments.
Mock draft: Think defense first
Mock bracket: Think offense first
There is a lot of attention on the strong offensive linemen (Joeckel, Eric Fisher, Chance Warmack, Lane Johnson) and, of course, the quarterbacks, near the top of the 2013 draft board. But expect the first round to be dominated by defensive tackles (Star Lotulelei, Sharrif Floyd) and edge rushers (Dion Jordan, Ezekiel Ansah, Jarvis Jones), with several cornerbacks and safeties scattered through the first 32.
In the tournament, defensive grittiness is nice, but eventually teams that can score have the edge. What do Indiana, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan and Louisville all have in common? They're all among the top 50 in points per game. Northwestern State (vs. Florida) and Iona (vs. Ohio State) have brutal matchups, but they got to the dance by finishing 1-2 in scoring.
If you're looking for better lower seeds with enough scoring pop to pull a huge upset, Davidson, Ole Miss and South Dakota State would be the most attractive. First Four winner St. Mary's has the firepower to upend Memphis.
Mock draft: Don't overestimate players from the West
Mock bracket: Don't underestimate teams from the West
As the only East-like marquee program in the West, USC has had a recent downswing in its NFL first-round production. Lotulelei (Utah), Jordan (Oregon) and Ansah (Brigham Young) are getting a lot of buzz as potential superstars up front. Other than them and Barkley, the Pacific and Mountain time zones may not fare well. Four other Pac-12 players (Keenan Allen, Datone Jones, Desmond Trufant, Zach Ertz) are more like wild cards who could drop into the second.
In the tournament, Pac-12 powers UCLA (vs. Minnesota) and Arizona (vs. Belmont) are becoming popular picks to go down in their 6-11 matchups. Despite playing in San Jose, California is being dismissed in its matchup with UNLV, against which it already lost.
Then you remember the Mountain West is really the class of the West in hoops, with UNLV joining four other teams (San Diego State, Colorado State, Boise State and New Mexico). Gonzaga and New Mexico, despite being 1-3 in the West region, are hearing doubts about their worthiness, mostly by those in the East who have never seen them play. Doing your homework out West can pay off—just ask Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh.
Mock draft: There's more parity than you think
Mock bracket: There's less parity than you think
Over the past 15 years, from Ohio State (Orlando Pace) to Stanford (Andrew Luck), 15 college football programs have produced a first overall pick in the NFL draft. In that span, college basketball has had five multiple champions (Kentucky, Connecticut, Duke, Florida, North Carolina) accounting for 11 titles. The other four winners (Michigan State, Maryland, Syracuse, Kansas) weren't exactly lightweights.
If Joeckel is the Chiefs' choice at No. 1, the beat would go on for the draft. The player with the best chance to break the streak is Star Lotulelei, who would then join his new Kansas City teammate (Alex Smith, 2005) as a No. 1 out of Utah.
In this year's wide-open tournament, Duke, Florida, Michigan State, Syracuse and Kansas all have a fair shot at making a deep run. If it's not a recent champ, there's a good chance it will be a team that has at least won it all before—such as Louisville, Indiana, Georgetown, Ohio State, Michigan or even Wisconsin. More unheralded high seeds such as Gonzaga, New Mexico, Miami and Saint Louis have history stacked against them as they try to break through in the bracket.
Mock draft: Alabama goes for another "First Four" ... will still win it all again
Mock bracket: Alabama is in the NIT ... won't win anything
The Crimson Tide won the national championship again in football, a year after they had four first-round draft picks (Trent Richardson, Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick, Dont'a Hightower). There's a chance they will have four more in 2013 (Warmack, Dee Milliner, D.J. Fluker and Jesse Williams or Eddie Lacy). Of course, this hardly will affect Alabama's roster. The program will three-peat in 2013, sending another quartet to the NFL.
Just like there is no tournament in the FBS for one more year, there is no Alabama in the NCAA Tournament. The defending champion in hoops, Kentucky, is no longer alive in the NIT (where the Tide are), and there is no dominant team in the NCAA field. Though everyone expected 'Bama to eventually roost in football without a playoff, don't get locked into one team being unbeatable in the tourney.
Mock draft: Put your money on red
Mock bracket: Put your money on red
Alabama isn't the only Crimson to like early in the draft. Oklahoma has the surefire top-12 pick in Lane Johnson. But there's plenty of room for Georgia Red (Jones, Alec Ogletree), Texas A&M Maroon (Joeckel) and even Central Michigan Maroon (Fisher). The real first-round color to watch, however, is Florida State Garnet. With Xavier Rhodes, Bjoern Werner, Menelik Watson and Cornellius Carradine, the Seminoles can match the Tide, and their quarterback, E.J. Manuel, might sneak in there late to put them over the top.
The NCAA Tournament hasn't seen a pure red team at the top in a while. The last team with that primary color to win a national title was Maryland in 2002. Before that, it was Arkansas Cardinal in '94 and UNLV Scarlet in '90.
This serves as a reminder that it's been 26 years since the Crimson-based Indiana Hoosiers cut down the nets ('87) and a year longer for Louisville Cardinals' Red. Yes, it's been so long for those teams that we were mock drafting Bo Jackson and Vinny Testaverde back-to-back to the Buccaneers.
The Cardinals' Rick Pitino is the basketball coach whose career most resembles Nick Saban's, but Alabama shares its color with Tom Crean's Hoosiers. The NCAA didn't put the Cardinals (vs. Duke) and Hoosiers (vs. Syracuse) in potential regional finals that mirrored their past title games by accident. They are the best bets to meet again at the end.

Using the Export Wizard, you can export data from an Access database to in a file format that can be read by Excel. This article shows you how to prepare and export your data to Excel, and also gives you some troubleshooting tips for common problems that might occur.
In this article
Exporting data to Excel: the basics
When you export data to Excel, Access creates a copy of the selected data, and then stores the copied data in a file that can be opened in Excel. If you copy data from Access to Excel frequently, you can save the details of an export operation for future use, and even schedule the export operation to run automatically at set intervals.
Common scenarios for exporting data to Excel
Your department or workgroup uses both Access and Excel to work with data. You store the data in Access databases, but you use Excel to analyze the data and to distribute the results of your analysis. Your team currently exports data to Excel as and when they have to, but you want to make this process more efficient.
You are a long-time user of Access, but your manager prefers to work with data in Excel. At regular intervals, you do the work of copying the data into Excel, but you want to automate this process to save yourself time.
About exporting data to Excel
Access does not include a "Save As" command for the Excel format. To copy data to Excel, you must use the Export feature described in this article, or you can copy Access data to the clipboard and then paste it into an Excel spreadsheet.
You can export a table, query, form, or report. You can also export selected records in a multiple-record view, such as a datasheet.
Microsoft Excel includes a command to import data from an Access database. You can use that command instead of the export command in Access; however, the Excel import command only allows you to import tables or queries. For more information, see the Excel Help article Connect to (import) external data.
You cannot export macros or modules to Excel. When you export a form, report, or datasheet that contains subforms, subreports, or subdatasheets, only the main form, report, or datasheet is exported. You must repeat the export operation for each subform, subreport, and subdatasheet that you want to export to Excel.
You can only export one database object in a single export operation. However, you can merge multiple worksheets in Excel after you complete the individual export operations.
Prepare for the export operation
Before performing an export procedure, it is a good idea to review the data that you want to export to make sure that it does not contain any error indicators or error values. If there are any errors, try to resolve them before you export the data to Excel. Otherwise, problems can occur during the export operation, and null values might be inserted into cells in the Excel worksheet. For more information about problems that can occur when exporting to Excel, see the section Troubleshoot missing and incorrect values.
If the source object is a table or a query, decide whether you want to export the data with or without its formatting. This decision affects two aspects of the resulting workbook — the amount of data that is exported and the display format of the data. The following table describes the outcome of exporting formatted and unformatted data.
Source Object
Fields and records
Without formatting
Table or query
Note: Forms and reports cannot be exported without their formatting.
All fields and records in the underlying object are exported.
The Format property settings are ignored during the operation.
For lookup fields, only the lookup ID values are exported.
For hyperlink fields, the contents are exported as a text column that displays the links in the format displaytext#address#.
With formatting
Table, query, form, or report
Only fields and records that are displayed in the current view or object are exported. Filtered records, hidden columns in a datasheet, and fields not displayed on a form or report are not exported.
The wizard respects the Format property settings.
For lookup fields, the lookup values are exported.
For hyperlink fields, the values are exported as hyperlinks.
For rich text fields, the text is exported but the formatting is not.
Choose the destination workbook and file format. Note that reports can only be exported in the older *.xls file format, not in the newer *.xlsx file format.
During the export operation, Access prompts you to specify the name of the destination workbook. The following table summarizes when a workbook is created (if it does not already exist) and when it is overwritten (if it does already exist).
If the destination workbook
And the source object is
And you want to export
Does not exist
A table, query, form, or report
The data, with or without the formatting
The workbook is created during the export operation.
Already exists
A table or query
The data, but not the formatting
The workbook is not overwritten. A new worksheet is added to the workbook, and is given the name of the object from which the data is being exported. If a worksheet having that name already exists in the workbook, Access prompts you to either replace the contents of the corresponding worksheet or specify another name for the new sheet.
Already exists
A table, query, form, or report
The data, including the formatting
The workbook is overwritten by the exported data. All existing worksheets are removed, and a new worksheet having the same name as the exported object is created. The data in the Excel worksheet inherits the format settings of the source object.
The data is always added in a new worksheet. You cannot append the data to any existing worksheet or named range.
Run the export operation
If the destination Excel workbook is open, close it before you continue.
In the Navigation Pane of the source database, select the object that you want to export.
Export only a portion of the data
If the object is a table, query, or form, and you want to export only a portion of the data, open the object in Datasheet view and select the records you want.
To open a form in Datasheet view:
Double-click the form to open it.
Right-click the form, and then click Datasheet View. If this option is not available:
Click Design View.
Press F4 to display the Property Sheet task pane.
Select Form from the drop-down list at the top of the Property Sheet.
On the Format tab of the Property Sheet, set the Allow Datasheet View property to Yes.
On the Design tab, in the Views group, click Datasheet View.
Note: You cannot export a portion of a report. However, you can select or open the table or query that the report is based on, and then export a portion the data in that object.
On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click Excel.
In the Export - Excel Spreadsheet dialog box, review the suggested file name for the Excel workbook (Access uses the name of the source object). If you want, you can modify the file name.
In the File Format box, select the file format that you want.
If you are exporting a table or a query, and you want to export formatted data, select Export data with formatting and layout. For more information, see the section Prepare for the export operation.
Note: If you are exporting a form or report, this option is always selected but unavailable (it appears dimmed).
To view the destination Excel workbook after the export operation is complete, select the Open the destination file after the export operation is complete check box.
If the source object is open, and if you selected one or more records in the view before starting the export operation, you can select Export only the selected records. To export all the records displayed in the view, leave this check box cleared.
Note: This check box remains unavailable (dimmed) if no records are selected.
Click OK.
If the export operation fails because of an error, Access displays a message that describes the cause of the error. Otherwise, Access exports the data and, depending on your selection in step 7, opens the destination workbook in Excel. Access then displays a dialog box in which you can create a specification that uses the details from the export operation.
Save the export specification
Click Yes to save the details of the export operation for future use.
Saving the details helps you repeat the same export operation in the future without having to step through the wizard each time.
In the Save as box, type a name for the export specification. Optionally, type a description in the Description box.
If you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer, and you want to perform the export operation at fixed intervals (such as weekly or monthly), select the Create Outlook Task check box.
Doing this creates an Outlook task that lets you run the export by clicking a button in Outlook.
Click Save Export.
If Outlook is installed, Access starts it.
Note: If Outlook is not installed, an error message appears. If Outlook is not configured correctly, the Outlook Startup Wizard starts. Follow the instructions in the wizard to configure Outlook.
In Outlook, review and edit the task settings (such as Due date and Reminder).
To make the task recur, click Recurrence, and fill in the details.
Click Save and Close.
Run a saved export
In the Outlook Navigation Pane, click Tasks, and then double-click the task that you want to run.
On the Task tab, in the Microsoft Office Access group, click Run Import.
In Excel, open the destination workbook, and then verify that all the data were copied into the correct cells.
If you chose to copy only the data and not the formatting into an existing workbook, the workbook might contain multiple worksheets. Locate the sheet that corresponds to the export operation, and review the cells on that sheet.
Troubleshoot missing and incorrect values
The following table describes various ways of troubleshooting common errors.
Tip: If you find that just a few values are missing, fix them in the Excel workbook. Otherwise, fix the source object in the Access database, and then repeat the export operation.
Description and resolution
Calculated fields
The results of calculated fields are exported; the underlying expressions that perform the calculations are not.
Multivalued fields
Fields that support multiple values are exported as a list of values separated by semicolons (;).
Pictures, objects, and attachments
Graphical elements (such as logos, contents of OLE object fields, and attachments that are part of the source data) are not exported. Add them to the worksheet manually after you complete the export operation.
When you export a form or report that contains a Microsoft Graph object, the graph object is not exported.
Data in the wrong column
Null values in the resulting worksheet are sometimes replaced by the data that should be in the next column.
Missing date values
Date values earlier than Jan 1, 1900 are not exported. The corresponding cells in the worksheet will contain a null value.
Missing expressions
Expressions that are used to calculate values are not exported to Excel. Only the results of the calculations are exported. Manually add the formula to the Excel worksheet after you complete the export operation.
Missing subforms, subreports, and subdatasheets
When you export a form, report, or datasheet, only the main form, report, or datasheet is exported. You must repeat the export operation for each subform, subreport, and subdatasheet that you want to export.
Missing or incorrectly formatted columns
If none of the columns appear to be formatted in the resulting worksheet, repeat the export operation, being sure to select the Export data with formatting and layout check box in the wizard. Conversely, if only some columns appear to be formatted differently from the versions in the source object, apply the formatting that you want manually in Excel.
Format a column in Excel
"#" value in a column
You might see the value # in a column that corresponds to a Yes/No field in a form. This can be the result of starting the export operation from the Navigation Pane or in Form view. To resolve this issue, open the form in Datasheet view before exporting the data.
Error indicators or error values
Check the cells for error indicators (green triangles in the corners) or error values (strings that begin with the # character instead of the appropriate data).

Just to give some type of balance to the who is the worst coach, and we've had some bad ones, I think we should state who was the best coach and we've had some great ones.

Just to give some type of balance to the who is the worst coach, and we've had some bad ones, I think we should state who was the best coach and we've had some great ones.
Give us who and why.
Rick is still my fav Nba coach. If I ever get into coaching his style is a lot like I see me being. He isn't narrow minded and takes win now vs build for future better than most. Main reason I like him and POP so much. Monty Williams is my 3rd fav he gets the best out of his young guys.
Slick. Three championships; 'nuff said.
But honorable mention goes to Larry Brown. Other than his wandering eye looking for the next job, he's still everything you want in a coach. And while he's the illustration of why Bird's three-year rule for coaches has validity, you get so much from him during those three years.
Bird gets credit because of his success. Not a tactician, probably terrible with x's and o's or working with players individually, but he could lead them and motivate them.
That's the Golden Three of Pacers coaches.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
This thread is going to produce some knife fights....I gotta go with Slick for a lot of reasons, but mainly even when you listen to him now you can just tell he gets the game, and he seems like he would be good at handling players.
Two best from when I started following the NBA would be Bird and Carlisle.
Bird had the experience and the players listened. Not sure he was the best "coach" ever, but he know what he knew and more importantly he knew when to delegate. He could also still play which I think helped the players relate a lot.
Rick was a great coach, though his interpersonal skills held him back a bit IMO. I think we saw him grow a lot from Detroit to Indiana, and his work after the brawl was nothing short of spectacular.
Never saw Slick coach, but like another posters said above just listening to him you know he "gets it". Basically the polar opposite of Isiah Thomas. Oops, sorry, wrong thread
About coach Brown not a fan of his at all. I'm sure he was great with us a team that is ready to win. But what he did with the Kittes really soured me with him. When you have a young rebuilding type roster like he did with the Cats you don't play over priced vets who aren't part of the future instead of the kids and try to win 8th every year I doubt many top notch coaches would do that. You don't tank per say but you do what Monty did last year you play the kids see what you have and let the kids learn and play hard. Coaches like Larry Brown and JOB can't do that.
I never saw Slick coach, too young.
Bird, this is just my opinion, but I don't think he has even close to the success he had without Carlisle sitting right next to him.
Brown, talk about an overrated coach if I have ever seen one.
That leaves Carlisle, from my incomplete experience, to be the best Pacer coach to date.
Unfortunately, too young to have caught Slick, so I gotta go with Larry Legend.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "

I love Slick, but I don't really remember much about his coaching, so I can't pick him. He had to be good no doubt and I love his comments during games and how he believes basketball should be played. He bleeds Blue and Gold, how can you not love that.
Larry Brown was great, helped turn this franchise around. I can't over look Larry's constant unhappiness with his players no mater were he's coaching. He is a great coach, just don't let him make personnel decisions, he falls in and out of love with players to often. I still was not happy with him his last season here he gave up on the team and he has even said that himself. Some of the greatest times at MSA were with Larry Brown though, I'll never forget those times.
Larry Bird, I'm still not completely sure about as a coach. He obviously did a great job when he was our coach, seems to really know the game and how players think and what makes them respond (aka Jalen). He commands respect that few coaches will ever have, simply because of what he was as a player. I think he hired two great assistants and let them do their job, so does that make him a great coach, maybe, or a great leader yes, I really still don't know. Seems Bird has excelled at everything there is to do with Basketball, very impressive resume. Maybe we are still under estimating him?
I'll pick Rick
I just think Rick is a awesome coach, He was great at Detroit, still believe he is as responsible for their Championship as Larry Brown was. He set the stage, established a stye of play, they were doing worse under Larry the next season, till the Sheed give away. Billups always had nice things to say about Rick and he's the one guy from those Detroit teams I really respect.
Rick was even better here, he took some questionable rosters and preformed well over expectations IMO. The brawl season was about the best coaching job I've ever seen. He was not without flaws, he was supposedly distant and not very personable, but I think he worked on his weaknesses and improved, ultimately getting a much deserved Championship in Dallas.
I certainly would not be upset if he was ever brought back here, several years down the road.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
I can only vote on what I saw and witnessed, so while Slick is probably the pick here, my vote goes to Larry Brown. I think he is the guy who helped change the culture, took a slightly above average team and made them a contender, while setting them up for the success Bird enjoyed. Larry Brown is a fickle, fickle man, but he can coach.
Has to be Slick. Championships. Coach & GM. On tv selling tickets during the telethon to keep the team in Indy. He was the face of the franchise. Couldn't have done any more.
Larry Brown is a great coach but he was never dedicated to the team (or any other team that he has been with). Larry Bird knew how to build and use his staff. But Slick did it all.
To the topic at hand, it would be a toss-up between Slick's ABA days and Brown or Carlisle in the NBA days. Slick's NBA days are tainted by the lack of talent (and changing conditions) he was saddled with. Brown's behind-the-scenes problems grated on players but there is no question he took the team to another level, which is what you want a coach to do. Rick was skilled at the game but not so skilled with player interaction - remember that many of the locker room issues started when his player interaction assistant coaches moved on.
If I had to pick one, it would be Slick with Larry Brown a very close second.
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...
I voted for Slick for the same reason that I'd vote for Wilt at the greatest center of all time. I'm old enough to remember the aba but never went to a game and they were seldom televised where I lived so I can't vote for him from personal memory but his record speaks for itself.
For the NBA era I'd give it to Larry Bird. I realize that he had Carlisle but for that I just credit him to for being smart enough to surround himself with good people.
It was a joke.
I'm too young to remember the ABA, the Coliseum, or the telethon, and my only memories of him involve listening to the radio, but I think Slick deserves this distinction. I don't understand the total dismissal of anything that happened in the ABA - a tendency on the part of casual fans and media to immediately discredit a very real and storied history.
Brown by a wide margin. He was a master. Wow was he great
I was too young to remember Slick all that well. Larry Brown was the best coach I have ever seen in Indy. His coaching actually made a positive difference. I would put Rick behind him and Larry third. Not sure where Slick would rank, but he's sure getting a lot of votes.
Even though I never saw him coach I voted for Slicky Bobby... He's the only Pacers coach who earned a trip to the Hall of Fame based mainly on his time coaching the Pacers...
Rick would be 2nd for me...
Bird isn't even in consideration from me ever since I heard second hand from JO that Reggie felt like the vets ran that team with Larry being little more than a figure head...

Nothing in life worth having comes easy.
I can't speak to have seen him, but for 3 ABA championships, I'll vote Slick.
If we included work outside the Pacers I'd give it to Brown though.
Larry Brown set the stage for most of a decade of great Pacer basketball. Without Larry Brown I'm not sure what the team would've looked like in the 90's or how much Brown's impact seasoned Reggie's game. Just as Jonathon Bender should thank Donnie Walsh every day for his bank account, Donnie Walsh should thank Larry Brown for his prolonged career and reputation.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I think Larry Brown is widely regarded as the best in-game coach ever to coach in the NBA. That is what I hear all the time from many experts. Brown has some negatives - the biggest is that he wears out his welcome by the way he drives his players - they eventually tune him out. I contend he didn't leave all of his coaching jobs because he got restless, but because he could tell the players were starting to tune him out. So he had a short self-life. Maybe his personality is a little different - people who know him well, including Donnie Walsh, always said Larry is only happy when he is miserable.
Another negative is he runs hot and cold on players - he wants to trade players on a whim. Walsh also mentioned this (in a nicer way) several times. So you never want him being in control of personel. Also, Brown is by nature a negative guy, he never thinks his teams are good enough, never satisfied and he wants each player to b play perfectly. He'll stop practice over and over again if a player makes a mistake.
Another thing about Larry is he wasn't much of a film watcher himself. Supposedly he could watch a play live and remember every single thing that happened down to every detail.
He coached his team to be the best it could be. He didn't coach his team to "beat the other team" In many ways he is almost exact oppsite to Carlisle.
Granted these are generalities:
1) Carlisle sees his players as they are, puts them in positions to succeed, plays to each players strengths and coaches his team to beat the other team
2) Larry Brown teaches his players to be what they can become, teaches them to play the game, teaches them to be better at things they aren't good at.
Example - Carlisle and Brown both coached Ben Wallace. Carlisle asked Ben to rebound and defend - he never worried about getting him to be part of the offense. Brown asked Ben to expand his game, get better offensively, forced him to be part of the scoring offense.
Which approach is correct? Carlisle approach is more typical for NBA coaches.
I think the different approaches is why Brown's teams generally started seasons very slow, because he spent training camp trying to get the players better. Carlisle was trying to get the team ready to beat the opponents.
Another thing about Brown, supposedly he put in new offensive plays all the time as the season went along - not to suggest other coaches don't, but Brown much more often.
Back in Brown's first season here, if you watch how the Pacers developed from the first month to the last - it was remarkable how the team didn't look anything like it did earlier. That single season was the best single season coaching job I have ever seen.

I have to go with Bird because I'm too young for Slick and the Bird coaching years are my most fond as a Pacer fan.
Jackson, Rose, Miller, Davis, Mckey, Mullin, Smits. That was a nice team and the first time I got really familier with a Pacer team, so that team definitely sits in an important spot in my heart! It also helps that they made it to the Finals!

San Diego may wear the crown as the nation's craft beer mecca, but in the quest for the best cup of joe, America's Finest City trails far behind Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and L.A.
Maybe it's the warm weather or the spread-out suburban geography that have kept the city out of the java stakes, but a growing number of local bean roasters and gourmet cafes are finally heating up San Diego's coffee credentials.
View the photo gallery: Cafe Moto
Last year, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in La Jolla was named Micro Roaster of the Year by Roast Magazine. And this year, North Park's 3-year-old Coffee & Tea Collective was ranked No. 14 among the top 21 hottest coffee shops in the U.S. by Eater.com.
Jessica Percifield, who chronicles the coffee scene on her 2-year-old blog "San Diego Joe," said some local roasters and cafes aren't doing enough to market themselves.
"The truth is, if you're not on the Internet or using social media, I may never find you until someone takes me to your doorstep," she said.
Since November, she has organized two coffee tasting fundraisers called Coffee For a Cause that brought together roasters and drinkers. She says events like this are critical to creating a collective mindset (like San Diego's craft beer industry).
"Keeping one's head down and working hard will only get you so far," she said. "I think working actively together is a way to begin building a cohesive coffee community."
Michael Helms, an apprentice roaster at Caffe Calabria in North Park, sees similarities between the local craft beer and artisanal coffee makers.
"Everyone is doing something a little different and doing a good job," Helms said. "The reason there is room for so many brewers here is because everyone can put their own spin on something like an IPA. With coffee, you could have a cup of single-origin Ethiopia from every roaster in town and have a completely different experience with each one."
But Doug Novak, who's been roasting coffee for 22 years at La Costa Coffee Roasting in Carlsbad, said coffee may take more work than beer to capture the public's fascination.
"Beer is a finished product, and anyone can just pick it up at the store, and every bottle is going to taste the same. But with coffee you have to brew it yourself and you need to have the passion to buy great coffee and learn how to make it properly," Novak said.
To help coffee novices dive into the local scene, here's a guide to what's brewing in San Diego.
An industry word roasters use for the process of evaluating and sampling beans from growers.
The term cupping has been co-opted of late by brew bars to describe consumer samplings and tastings, much like wine tasting. Chuck Patton of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters offers free cupping demonstrations at 10:30 a.m. Fridays (call ahead for a reservation). The hourlong process — where he evaluates beans for aroma, acidity (sweetness), body (weight) and complexity — involves roasting and grinding a small number of beans, mixing the grounds with near-boiling water, sniffing the coffee and then tasting it.
Direct trade
A one-on-one relationship where coffee roasters buy directly from individual farmers, cutting out the middlemen — wholesalers and importers.
Each year, Bird Rock's Patton travels to coffee farms in Central America, South America and (more recently) Africa to sample their coffee and bring back their beans to La Jolla, where he roasts about 350 pounds a day for loyal customers. Patton is the only San Diego roaster doing direct trade with farmers (which makes up about 60 percent to 70 percent of the coffee he sells). The benefit, he says, is that he can hand-select the best beans and pay a higher rate to growers than fair trade importers (fair trade is a certification for co-ops of small farmers who are guaranteed an above-market price for their beans). He's now working directly with a farmer in Bolivia, two in Colombia, three in Nicaragua and one in El Salvador and is developing trade with a few in Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda).
Full City roasting
A classification for beans that are moderately roasted to allow more of the natural flavor to come through, producing a cup that's lighter, sweeter and less bitter.
Starbucks trained coffee drinkers to prefer dark roasts that can give coffee a burned, bitter flavor (hence the nickname "Charbucks"). Helms at Caffe Calabria said dark roasting is the enemy of most beans. "When you push that coffee up (to a dark roast), you stop caramelizing the sugars and you begin carbonizing the bean itself. You get that smoky flavor that some people associate with good coffee, but it's anything but good. What you're tasting is the inside of the roaster." Novak at La Costa Coffee said he roasts each bean differently. "Every coffee has a sweet spot, some are highlighted at a lighter roast, some aren't revealed until you get a little deeper and darker," Novak said. "There's no perfect roast that matches every bean."
Beans roasted on-site in small batches to ensure freshness and uniformity.
Dan Scheibe, owner of 18-month-old Revolution Roasters at Cafe Ipe in Leucadia, roasts all of his beans to order and delivers them to customers within 24 hours. "There is a magical time in a roasted bean's life where the coffee is at its best," he said. "It's a small window of seven to 10 days after roasting where the aromatics are extra special." On weekdays, Scheibe's an automation engineer in the biotech field, so on weekends he and his wife roast beans as "an art project that's gone wild." Other micro-roasters who have topped local polls are The West Bean in Mission Valley, Zumbar Coffee & Tea in Sorrento Valley and Cafe Virtuoso and Ryan Brothers Coffee, both in Barrio Logan.
Siphoned coffee
Coffee brewed in an hourglass-like Hario Syphon Brewer uses heat and vacuum pressure to cycle hot water through coffee grounds.
Torrey Lee, owner of Cafe Moto in Barrio Logan (and the stepson of the late Bob Sinclair, founder of San Diego's original gourmet coffeehouse, Pannikin), said the benefit of brewing coffee in these strange-looking devices (where heated water in the bottom chamber rises up into a glass chamber above filled with coffee grounds, then drips down again as the water cools) is that it creates a rich, full-bodied coffee like you'd get from a French press but without the sediment. The downside is that it takes 8 to 10 minutes to brew.
Pour over
A slow-drip cup made to order in three minutes. Pick your bean and they'll grind it, place it in a filter-lined ceramic funnel and pour on near-boiling water. The rich, smooth coffee drips into a cup below the funnel.
Bay area natives Salpi Sleiman and Jenna Woodruff opened top-rated Roast Coach — billed as the city's first pour over mobile coffee bar — 13 months ago outside North Park's Sea Rocket Bistro (where they're both servers). Sleiman says there's a science to pour over coffee, especially when it's served outdoors. In cold weather, the grind must be changed to keep the water from cooling too much during the drip process. Moisture can also affect the flavor (they buy their beans from Revolution Roasters). Business is booming. There are now Roast Coach carts downtown and in Hillcrest, and plans for up to 20 more by the end of 2014. Also popular with coffee lovers is Dark Horse Coffee, a roaster/pour over cafe that opened three months ago in Normal Heights.
Selling coffee beans only in the seasons that they're harvested, to ensure peak freshness.
Coffee crops are harvested at different times in different countries. Patton at Bird Rock said he just rolled out Bolivian coffee beans, but South American beans won't arrive until late summer. Coffee drinkers tend to like the same thing every morning, but Patton said roasters are working hard to educate consumer palates to recognize seasonality, just as produce buyers do at farmers markets. "Coffee companies can get lazy and keep buying green bean coffee from brokers in Guatemala all year long, but some of those beans could be a year old, and they'll taste a lot flatter than they did when they were harvested eight or nine months before," he said.
Single origin
The name for coffee beans that can be traced to a single coffee farm, or — in a low-producing country like Ethiopia — to a single mill.
The benefit of single-origin beans to the coffee drinker is flavor. "It's all about nuance," said Scheibe at Revolution Roasters. "Single-origin coffee can have very floral notes that you wouldn't find in a blended coffee." Because single-origin beans have a delicate flavor, they are generally roasted lightly to preserve flavor. Scheibe's single-origin beans include Zapatista from Oaxaca, Dancing Goat from Ethiopia and, Black Bird from Hueheutenango.
Cold brewing
A slow-drip process where cold water percolates through coarsely ground coffee for 8 to 12 hours for a smooth, rich cup of iced coffee.
At Cafe Moto, Lee sells about 4 to 5 gallons of cold-brewed, iced coffee a day. The Kyoto brewers look like a mad scientist's contraption, with cold water dripping at a rate of just one drop every 40 seconds. They also use the Toddy cold brew method that can make 5 gallons of cold, strong coffee concentrate overnight. Because heat never touches the beans, the result is a coffee that's smoother and more big-bodied. "If you use water that's too hot, you scald the coffee and bring out the tannins and phosphorus. You don't get the sweetest, juiciest, most wonderful flavor that you can from the bean," he said.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

A buddy and I are going to Cleveland (6 Hr. Drive) in October for the Decemberists show, however, we are also looking at packages for the Rock HOF: $139 for a Hyatt Hotel room, and two 1 day passes to the Hall. We are very much considering doing this, but what some feedback.
Has anyone been to the Hall? How is it? Is this a good deal?
I've never been to Cleveland, so it should be fun either way. If we decide to do that, only $85 split between us for the Decemberists, Hyatt Hotel, and Hall of Fame, not including food and the $5,000 dollar gas fee.

The payoff came eight years after the San Francisco Giants first began laying the foundation and 53 seasons after they moved West from New York. Now, after never having won a title in California, the Giants have brought home two in three years.
Ten years ago, in June 2002, the Giants drafted a righthander from Germantown, Tenn. With the 25th overall pick, San Francisco took Matt Cain, and he would become the first piece used to assemble the closest thing baseball has seen to a dynasty since the New York Yankees won four titles from 1996 to 2000.
The Giants would go on to draft Tim Lincecum, Sergio Romo, Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey and sign Pablo Sandoval, each of whom would have a role in the Giants' 2010 and 2012 World Series seasons.
It was the Giants' homegrown talent, and their homegrown arms in particular, that served as the backbone of their championship teams, but they certainly benefited from unexpected postseason stars and incredibly fortunate breaks.
"Different types of clubs win," says Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, whose team lost to San Francisco in the 2010 World Series. "You make your own luck. It's talent, it's chemistry, it's depth. It's everything."
Secrets to the Giants' success:
Stockpiling pitchers
The Giants' front office and scouts made it a priority to collect young pitching, and Cain, a high schooler they believed had the body and makeup to burn through their system, was the first target.
The club had the same feelings about Bumgarner when it took him 10th overall in the 2007 draft. A 6-foot-5 lefty with broad shoulders and a plus fastball, he had the physical tools to develop into a front-line starter.
Lincecum was the guy the Giants weren't completely sold on. He was skinny, stood under 6 feet and had an unorthodox delivery scouts predicted would lead to injuries. Some in the organization didn't think he could be a top-of-the-rotation starter. But he had great raw stuff, so the Giants took him 10th overall in 2006.
A little more than two years later, Lincecum won his first of back-to-back Cy Young awards.
Plus, his long hair, carefree attitude, wild mechanics and, let's be honest, his bust for marijuana possession in 2009 that inspired slogans and countless T-shirts, made him a fan favorite in the liberal Bay Area.

The trio, along with a group of relievers that featured Romo (a 28th-round pick in 2005), dominated in the 2010 postseason. Lincecum opened those playoffs with a complete-game shutout in Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the Atlanta Braves, and the group rolled from there. As a rotation, the Giants had a 2.23 ERA and went 8-3 in 15 games. Cain didn't allow an earned run in 21 1/3 innings, and Bumgarner pitched 20 2/3 innings and had a 2.18 ERA in four outings, including eight shutout innings in Game 4 of the World Series against the Rangers.
None of the three pitched as well in 2012 as they did in 2010, but they all were effective in leading San Francisco to another championship. That includes Lincecum, who rebounded from a poor regular season to post a 2.55 ERA in the playoffs, mostly in relief.
"We've had good staffs, and it's also the luck of the draw with how you draft and how you develop and stay healthy," Giants general manager Brian Sabean says. "In our case, this group has been matriculating together since about 2008. That's the unique part, that it's the same cast."
But a club cannot win on arms alone.
Sporting News preview: San Francisco Giants
Surprise heroes
Sabean and the ownership group elected to build this team relatively cheaply for the market size—the Giants were 10th in payroll at the start of 2010 and eighth in 2012—and that forced Sabean to fill some roster spots with scrapheap acquisitions rather than big-name free agents or trade pieces.
The strategy paid off handsomely.
In 2010, rather than making an impact trade before the July 31 nonwaiver deadline, the Giants claimed Cody Ross, a mediocre Florida Marlins outfielder, in August. It was seen as a disappointment to fans wanting the Giants to make a big splash, but it ended up being a key move.
That postseason, Ross had a 1.076 OPS in 59 plate appearances and was chosen NLCS MVP after hitting .350 and smacking three home runs against the heavily favored Philadelphia Phillies.
Shortstop Edgar Renteria was an afterthought after playing in just 72 regular season games and hitting .167 in 19 playoff plate appearances before the World Series in 2010. But once the Fall Classic started, Renteria's glow was unmistakable. He hit .412 with two homers and six RBIs and was named World Series MVP.
WITRADO: Giants value chemistry more than wealth
In 2012, the Giants were under similar financial restrictions, so while the rival Los Angeles Dodgers spent freely, the Giants acquired second baseman Marco Scutaro. He wasn't a flashy pickup but had a .328/.377/.391 line in 16 postseason games and won the NLCS MVP award.
In last season's playoffs, the Giants also got unexpected contributions from righthander Ryan Vogelsong, who struggled to finish the regular season with his spot in the rotation secure, and Sandoval, who was benched in 2010 but whose three homers in Game 1 of the World Series helped earn him the MVP award.
The most unexpected contributor, though, was Barry Zito, long a target for Giants fans' ire. He had a nine-figure contract he never came close to fulfilling and was left off the playoff roster entirely in 2010.
But Zito's elimination-game start in the 2012 NLCS (7 2/3 shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals) saved the team's season, and his Game 1 start in the World Series (5 2/3 innings, one run) was enough to beat Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers.
It was also enough for Giants fans to forgive the previous six wretched regular seasons Zito gave them.
Fantasy: Pablo Sandoval | Tim Lincecum
The bizarre, the breaks, the destined
For any team to win a title, it has to get a little lucky—the Cardinals also had plenty of breaks during their title run in 2011—but the Giants have taken things to another level.
"You have to take advantage of those breaks," Sabean says.
In 2010, Atlanta second baseman Brooks Conrad made three errors in one game, all on routine plays, helping San Francisco get through that series.
In 2012, things got just downright weird. In the NLDS against Cincinnati, Reds ace Johnny Cueto lasted just eight pitches before an oblique injury sidelined him for the entire five-game series, and then there was an error by normally surehanded Scott Rolen in Game 3 on a play that would have sealed a sweep for the Reds.
In the NLCS against the Cardinals, the team rallied around Scutaro after he was hurt by a Matt Holliday slide at second base, then Hunter Pence's triple-hit—his bat literally hit the ball three separate times on the same swing—somehow scored three runs and helped the Giants advance.
"This season has been so incredibly odd in so many ways," Giants president Larry Baer said after the NLCS. "Nothing will surprise me going forward."
In the World Series, it was Angel Pagan's ground ball that hit third base and turned an easy out into a double, which eventually brought Sandoval to the plate to thump his second homer of that first game.
So as much as smart drafting and shrewd team-building played a part in their championships, the Giants had to have things break their way. That's because there is no blueprint, no formula, no single way to build a championship club.
It's just that when opportunity knocks, it doesn't hurt to be well-armed and have a group of hitters who know how to capitalize on the circumstances.

Arizona cities get high/low marks for fire safetyPosted: Updated:
House fires can break out without warning, any day or night.
CBS 5 News wanted to find out which Valley fire departments are best equipped to handle a fire emergency in local neighborhoods and which communities are more at risk.
CBS 5 News dug up almost every Valley city's ranking when it comes to fire response and suppression.
The rankings are given by a company out of New Jersey called ISO, which provides detailed fire safety information to establish insurance rates across the country.
"They take into consideration training, apparatus, infrastructure, water in a community and terrain in a community," said Colin Williams, with the Rural Metro Fire Department. "A whole gamut of things go into an ISO rating."
The 911 systems, response time and fire hydrants also play a key role in a how a community is rated.
But it's not just the number of fire hydrants, it's how often they are tested.
Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dwayne Bader said that every one of the city's fire crews is responsible for inspecting fire hydrants, as part of their everyday duties. He went on to say it's the only way to maintain Scottsdale's 11,000 fire hydrants.
"If you have a house fire and have a hydrant two or three doors down, we need to assure them that the hydrant is always working at its full capacity," Bader said.
So how do Valley cities and towns stack up when it comes to fire safety?
The ISO rankings are done on a scale of one to 10, with one being the best and 10 the worst.
Glendale and Tempe came out on top with a two ISO rating.
Mesa, Chandler, Sun City, Peoria, Apache Junction, Surprise, Carefree and Scottsdale had a three ISO rating.
Goodyear, Queen Creek, Gilbert and Avondale had a four ISO rating.
The Valley community with the worst ISO fire protection rating was the town of Cave Creek, which scored a five ISO rating.
The lower ranking is directly related to fewer fire hydrants in Cave Creek neighborhoods and a reduced water supply, which is why Rural Metro fire crews always bring a tanker full of water when they respond to fire emergencies in and around Cave Creek.
Some Cave Creek residents said it comes with the territory when you live in a more rural community.
"I don't know, it's part of the ambience of living here," said Cave Creek resident Cal Nelson. "You don't have as many facilities as you do in town, but fact of the matter is, it's a beautiful place to live."
Rural Metro officials said their rating has actually improved over the past couple years and the town is working to install more fire hydrants and improve the water system.
The city of Phoenix did not have an ISO rating.
City officials told CBS 5 News that because of the city's size, they have not received a recent ISO ranking.
However, the Phoenix Fire Department has received national recognition for its response time and fire protection procedures, and fire officials said the city's ISO ranking would be a two.

Anti-BK Virus Immune Response and Kidney Transplantation (BKv)

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
BK virus infections are very frequent during months following a kidney transplantation: a viral reactivation is observed for almost 50% of patients during first year. This reactivation leads to a viremia for 10 to 15% of patient during this same period. The most frequent complication is interstitial nephritis for 2 to 8% of patients (27 patients representing 2.7% during 6 years in Nantes).
An intensive et persisting viral replication, assessed by detection of high blood viral load, could evolved to a viral nephropathy which lead to a very pejorative functional issue for the graft.
Biological follow-up of these infections lay on the measures of viral load. Their positivity must alert the physician and lead him to modulate immunosuppressive treatment.
Actually, there is no real consensus about the modalities of pharmacological immunosuppression decrease (decrease dose or change of molecule).
Specific lymphocytic anti-BKv evaluated on several cohorts of patients permit to prove:
- weakness of immune cellular response for patient with high viremia
- increase of this response when viral load decrease These studies laid on detection of INFg synthesis by Elispot after stimulation with viral antigens and in vitro cellular expansion.
New prospective and longitudinal data comparing the immune cellular response (systematic and early) after graft between patients controlling or not BKv infection are necessary to improve the comprehension of illness natural history.
The investigators propose to enlarge the investigation of anti-BKv immune cellular response to other functions than IFNg synthesis in the aim of detecting the eventual role of polyfunctional lymphocytes for infection control. Furthermore, the investigators propose to identify better diagnostic and prognostic makers.

António Zambujo has been a major voice in the resurrection of male fado singers
in a genre dominated by females. Winner of the Amália Rodrigues Foundation prize for
Best Male Fado Singer, Zambujo merges traditional fado with cante
alentejano (male chant from southern Portugal with North African influences),
bossa nova, Brazilian popular music, and jazz.
He was born in 1975 in Beja, located in the Alentejo region of southern Portugal, where he
grew up listening to cante alentejano, which has become a strong influence in his
music. He began studying the clarinet at the age of eight at the Conservatório Regional do
Baixo Alentejo, but from a very young age became entranced with fado. He won a
regional fado contest at the age of 16, and then began his professional
career when Mário Pacheco, the renowned Portuguese guitarist and composer, invited him to
sing in his Clube de Fado in Alfama, Lisbon. Soon afterwards, Zambujo was chosen to take
the role of Francisco da Cruz, Amália Rodrigues's first husband, in the musical
Amália directed by Filipe La Féria, one of Portugal's foremost stage
directors. Zambujo performed in the musical for four years in Lisbon and
then toured with it throughout Portugal, achieving enormous success.
After recording his first album in 2002, O mesmo fado, Zambujo won the
prestigious Radio Nova FM prize for Best New Fado Voice-an award previously received by
Mariza, Camané, and Mafalda Arnauth. Since then, he has recorded four more albums,
available in the US on the World Village label: Por meu cante, Outro
Sentido, and Guia (which were named "Top of the World" albums by
Songlines); and Quinto, which recently went platinum in Portugal. Zambujo
has toured Europe regularly since 2004, and in 2009 toured Brazil twice. He first performed
in the US in 2011 and returned in 2012. This concert marks his third appearance in New York
In recent years, Zambujo collaborated with the Bulgarian women's choir Angelite, Brazilian
musician and composer João Gil (on whose album he performed in 2008), and top Portuguese
pop and jazz singers, expanding the horizons of traditional fado while
remaining committed to its roots.
The word fado derives from the Latinfatum ("fate"), the inexorable destiny that nothing can change. Fado is only one of the many forms of Portuguese folk and popular music, but it is certainly the genre most commonly associated with Portugal. Performed mostly in the port cities of Lisbon and Porto and in the ancient university city of Coimbra, fado has been called the deepest expression of the Portuguese soul. It was popularized throughout the world by the late Amália Rodrigues in the latter half of the 20th century, and in recent years has seen a renaissance with popular singers, such as Dulce Ponce and many younger artists.
All fado is dominated by the sentiment known as saudade. While there is no precise English definition for this word, it may be translated roughly as "yearning" and has its emotional parallel in the Spanish duende. It essentially describes the soul of the music and is the measure of understanding that passes between performer and audience. As with flamenco, the audience is crucial to a live performance of fado and a positive, often rowdy, response at the end of a song is a measure of the fadista's (m. fadisto) success in expressing saudade.Like Spanish flamenco and Greek rebetiko,fado is the result of cultural symbiosis. Portugal has, since ancient times, been a cultural crossroads. Invaded and settled by Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Vandals, and Moors, it later became home to immigrants from its former colonies in Africa and South America. While it is difficult to be precise about the origins of fado, the melancholic nature of the genre is reminiscent of Moorish and Sephardic song. Arabs and Jews were expelled by decree at various junctures from the 15th to 17th centuries, yet maintained a presence in the vicinity of Lisbon as Moriscos (Christian converts) who gradually became assimilated.
There is little doubt, however, that the greatest influence in the formative years of fado was from Africans and people of mixed race who settled in the Alfama district of Lisbon, particularly after Brazil's independence in 1822. Lisbon's position on the Atlantic Coast of the Iberian Peninsula had long established it as a link between the cultures of the Mediterranean and those of Africa and the Americas. These new immigrants from Portugal's former colonies brought with them both their painful remembrance of slavery, and their dances, notably the fofa and lundum. This latter dance was an erotic, often lewd, song and dance exchange for couples, and was very popular in the bars and cafes of the Alfama district, a neighborhood that to this day is famous for its fado bars.
Two other influences were important in the creation of fado: the modhina and the quatrain (rhyming couplets). The latter is found in rural communities throughout Portugal in the celebration of local festivals, the telling of children's stories, and the passing on of folk wisdom. The modhina is a ballad tradition in which songs of undying love are sung, usually by men. This tradition is particularly linked to the fado of Coimbra.
The two symbols most commonly associated with fado are the black shawl worn by women as they sing their songs of suffering, yearning, and despair; and the guittara or Portuguese guitar, a variant of the cittern that was introduced in the 18th century through the English community in Porto, and was originally known as the "English guitar." The black shawl worn by female fadistas had its origin with Maria Severa, a singer identified with the early years of fado (1830s). Born and raised in the Alfama district, Maria and her mother ran a small tavern where she sang draped dramatically in a black shawl. It was here in 1836 that the Count of Vimioso heard her sing, which led to a tempestuous love affair that scandalized Lisbon society and led to the popularization of fado through the printing of sheet music.
While the fado of Lisbon and Porto is dominated by female singers, the fado of Coimbra tends to be sung mostly by men and often includes a chorus and more guitar accompanists than the conventional Portuguese guitar, Spanish guitar, and bass guitar preferred in Lisbon. The fado of Coimbra originated among students from Lisbon and Porto who brought their guitars to this old university town and, draped in black capes (the uniform of the university), serenaded their loved ones. It was in Coimbra that fado became the music associated with parting—when students left the university or at the end of a semester when they returned home.
Today's fado is often infused with contemporary Brazilian rhythms and elements drawn from jazz, rock, and popular music. While the basic accompanying instruments are still the guitar and Portuguese guitar, one now often finds other string instruments (such as the cello), and even wind instruments (like the clarinet) or keyboards (such as the piano or accordion).

CYCLING: Class victory for Weaver Valley man Kemp
3:38pm Wednesday 7th May 2014
By Andrew Simpson
3:38pm Wednesday 7th May 2014
By Andrew Simpson
ALAN Kemp, representing Weaver Valley Cycling Club, claimed class honours during the 46-mile Derek Smith Memorial Road Race near Ripponden.
He followed six riders that broke away on the first of 10 laps of a race promoted by Halifax Imperial Wheelers, a group reduced to three men with as many laps to go.
Kemp edged out Mick Day, from Bradford, to win in his age category following an uphill finish.
Alistair Stanway, in 58:48, was the first in Weaver Valley colours to finish the Glossop Kinder Velo 25 last weekend.
He was followed over the line by Jim Duffy, who timed a personal best 1:00.55, and Chris Gilbertson in 1:01.19.
Port Sunlight Wheelers' Andrew Wilkinson claimed first prize in 51:41.
James Risk and Jacob Booth competed against older riders in the sixth round of the Cycling Development North West Road Race League at Old Hutton.
The Weaver Valley juniors kept pace at the front of the bunch in the category three and four support race, with Risk edged into third place overall following a sprint to the finish.
Booth was close behind in fifth position at the end of seven laps of a testing course.
Caroline Fearon has improved her season-best time over 10 miles in each of the past two weeks during races organised by the Manchester and District Ladies Cycling Association.
She was sixth fastest female in 26:57 on Saturday, quicker than the 27:44 posted seven days earlier.
Stanway clocked 23:02, with veteran Bill Campbell, Gilbertson and Andy Wood – in a personal best 24:13 – the other Weaver Valley members to finish Saturday's ABC Centreville 10 on Cheshire roads.
