DANVILLE — Photographs of the Caldecott Tunnel's fourth bore project are on display through Jan. 5 at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley, 205 Railroad Ave.
Admission is $3. Hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 3 p.m. Sundays.
The $402 million bore project is expected to open to traffic in late 2013. The Federal Highway Administration, the state Transportation Department, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and the Alameda County Transportation Commission teamed up on the project to build a two-lane fourth bore north of the existing Caldecott tunnels.
Karl Nielson, of the MTC, and John Huseby, of Caltrans, took photos of the tunnel excavation, which began in August 2010, and of workers on the job. Their photos will visit other venues in Contra Costa and Alameda counties through the summer of 2013.
"Because Caltrans cannot provide tunnel tours for the public, we've done the next best thing," Fourth Bore Public Information Officer Ivy Morrison said in a news release. "We're bringing the Fourth Bore to communities throughout Contra Costa and Alameda counties in the form of a traveling photo exhibit."
The photos will be displayed concurrently at the Alameda Museum from October to December. They will then be displayed at the Rockridge Library from January to February, the Lafayette Library from March 1 to April 1, the Clayton Historical House from March 1 to April 30 and the Orinda Library in July. For more information, call 925-837-3750 or visit www.museumsrv.org.

Brown/Trinity Rep M.F.A. Programs Present RHINOCEROS and MARISOL
The Brown University/Trinity Rep MFA Programs will present a three week run of two unique and rarely produced plays running in repertory next month at the Pell Chafee Performance Center (PCPC), Providence, RI.
Eugene Ionesco's iconic absurdist play Rhinoceros will be directed by Heidi Handelsman (Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs '14). Rhinoceros will be presented on alternate nights in rotation with the deeply mystical Obie Award-winning play Marisol, by José Rivera, directed by Taibi Magar (Brown/Trinity Rep MFA Programs '14). Performances of both plays will run from February 21 through March 10 in the Citizens Bank Theater, Pell Chafee Performance Center, 87 Empire Street, Providence. Tickets are $10 (general admission) and $5 (students and seniors), and are now on sale at the Trinity Rep box office, by phone (401) 351-4242, and online at www.trinityrep.com.
One of the most iconic works in the absurdist theater movement, Eugène Ionesco's Rhinoceros was first written in 1959, and continues to resonate today. The story centers on a lone hero who watches his friends turn into rhinoceroses one by one until he alone stands unchanged. With this pivotal work, Ionesco confronts our accepted ideas of culture, morality, and mob mentality as the irrational and illogical collide with the comedic and thought-provoking, all through the lens of a fantastically dark and subversive sense of humor.
"Rhinoceros asks us rich, unanswerable questions," states director Heidi Handelsman. "For example, is holding on to your beliefs when you are the only one who thinks that way worth the inescapable loneliness? Wouldn't it be better to transcend that loneliness and join the non-thinking, all-powerful herd?"
Handelsman also admires Ionesco's ability to capture these grand ideas and transform them into an entertaining package. "Rhinoceros starts as a comedy, and then slowly shifts into a horror story," she states. "Ionesco took the real-life crises he witnessed in Europe and whipped them into a riotous, pitch-black comedy. It's a provocative thrill ride."
Alternatively, José Rivera's compelling, award-winning play Marisol is a dark comedy that defies convention through stark, yet magical realism. Brooklyn has become a war zone of chaos and destruction. Angels are warring in heaven. God is calling it quits. Coffee and apples are extinct, and even the moon is hiding in shame. The play's hero, Marisol Perez, is abandoned by her guardian angel and embarks on a surprising, dangerous and whimsical journey that weaves a tale of hope, compassion and self-empowerment.
Rivera's ability to present magical realism with humor and irony is what drew director Taibi Magar to stage Marisol. "Riveramakes us look at difficult things and see the riveting beauty in them," she explains. "The play feels truthful and ecstatically hopeful. As a surrealist portrayal of our world, it asks us to think creatively about our important roles as citizens through playful and imaginative imagery."
The cast for Rhinoceros includes second-year MFA acting students Greg Fallick (Berenger), Ted Moller (Jean), Sylvia Kates(Daisy), Ben Chase (The Logician/Dudard), Matt E. Russell (The Café Proprietor/Botard), Carisa Anik Platt (The Housewife),Steven Jaehnert (The Grocer/Mr. Papillon/The Little Old Man), Elise LeBreton (The Grocer's Wife/Mrs. Boeuf), Alex Curtis(The Old Gentleman/A Fireman), and Bridget Saracino (The Waitress/The Little Old Man's Wife).
The cast for Marisol includes second- year MFA acting students Nikki Massoud (Marisol), Tangela Large (Angel), Ben Grills(Lenny), Catherine Dupont (June), Zdenko Martin (Man with Golf Club/ Man with Ice Cream Cone), Sherri Eldin (Woman with Furs), and Mark Larson (Man with Scar Tissue).
Both Rhinoceros and Marisol will feature set design by Patrick Lynch, lighting design by Kirsten Opstad, sound design byAndy Russ, and costume design by Jessie Darrell Jarbadan.
Rhinoceros director Heidi Handelsman's recent credits include As You Like It and A Bright Room Called Day for Brown/Trinity Rep; Principal Principle for Brown/Trinity Playwrights Rep; and He Is Here He Says I Say for Writing is Live at Brown University. She has developed new plays at New Georges, Ma-Yi Theater Company, Youngblood, the Woodshed Collective, NYU/Tisch's Department of Dramatic Writing, and the New York International Fringe Festival. Handelsman is a New Georges Affiliated Artist and a member of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab, and was a 2010-2011 Resident Director at Ensemble Studio Theatre. She is an MFA candidate in Directing at Brown University / Trinity Rep. When in New York, Heidi hosts and curates the Potluck, a play-reading series.
Taibi Magar (director, Marisol) previously helmed Brown/Trinity Rep's productions of The Winter's Tale and Small Craft Warnings; On the 5:31 and The Upstart with Rising Phoenix Rep; Hamlet and Inhale with The Gallery Players; Rum & Vodka at Faux Real; Kindertransport, The Wake of Jamey Foster and Fran's Bed at NYU Tisch; Orson's Shadow with Outrageous Fortune and was co-director for The Dime Show with The Women's Project. As an assistant, she has worked at The Alley Theatre, Trinity Repertory Company, Shakespeare on the Sound, and Broadway's production of Exit The King. Magar has worked with the NYU MFA Playwriting program, LAByrinth Theatre Company and The Public Theater. Magar was the 2008 Public Theater Shakespeare Lab Directing Fellow and the Brown University Stephen Sondheim Fellow and MFA Directing Candidate in 2014.

CRADLEY skipper Paul Starke says the home meeting with Coventry next Tuesday will be the toughest of the season at Monmore.
The Heathens have been in rampant form in 2014, claiming several big wins as they aim to defend their National League title.
But they were beaten by Coventry at Brandon in April and are looking for some revenge in what promises to be a great night of racing.
Starke knows his side are in for a difficult night as arguably the two strongest sides in the third tier do battle.
But with the Heathens high on confidence, he is backing his side to add three more points to their a National League tally.
Starkes said: "Our season starts now really - we've got some tough meetings coming up and we need to show what we are made of.
"The meeting against Coventry is probably the biggest meeting of the season so far for us, and we are desperate to perform well.
"We know we are capable of getting all three points, and that is obviously what we are aiming for.
"We were really disappointed to lose at Coventry earlier in the year, but we are at home this time around and everyone has hit top form.
"We've really built up some momentum since then and everyone has been banging in big points regularly, so if they can do the same this week we should get the right result.
"Everyone is riding regularly and improving all the time, so I think we are probably a better team than we were in April.
"Coventry are a strong side with some good riders at this level so we can't afford to take anything for granted.
"But at the same time in confident we can come away with the win and all three points as long as we are at our best."
The following Tuesday, Heathens will host their prestigious FAST Golden Hammer individual event with a bumper crowd expected.
Then, on Sunday, July 27, club legend Billy Hamill returns to the area for a special evening with supporters at the Copthorne Hotel, Brierley Hill. Tickets are still available, priced £10, from the club shop or website.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
The Twin Coil Ferrite® AM Antenna is ideal for boosting most AM radio reception problems. No matter what kind of radio you're using, the antenna will reduce 90% of nighttime fade out, and help reduce static and distortion. The antenna can also double the signal strength of any weak station during the day.
The antenna was designed to work with everything from portable radios to home stereos with wire antenna terminals. The Twin Coil's wireless ferrite stick works on radios that don't have antenna connectors.
The antenna element is capable of pulling in a clean signal some distance from your radio. It then send the signal to your radio and overriding the static. This feature alone can make it the ideal AM antenna because there is no other way to get a clean signal. It has the highest gain of any commercial AM antenna.
The antenna element has directional characteristics. By rotating the antenna element in a window or outside you can improve the signal strength. As with any AM Antenna, you may need to take the time to experiment to find the best location.

Yes. The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna will improve the AM reception on any radio. It increases daytime and nighttime signal strength. The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna decreases fadeout, distortion, and can reduce static. With the ferrite patch cord, RCA patch cord, hardwire patch cord, or optional 1/8" x RCA patch cord, you can connect the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna to virtually any type of radio.
You can use up to 75 feet of extra cable before you get line loss.
The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna comes with five feet of "six pin mini din six conductor shielded cable." The cable connects to the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna using PS2 connectors, which are connectors commonly found on computer keyboards and computer mice.
Yes. C Crane has a Cable Coupler adapter available that will connect two Antenna cables together.
The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna comes with a ferrite patch cord. This lets you connect it to a radio that doesn't have an external AM antenna connection. The ferrite rod is placed near the internal ferrite antenna on your radio.
Yes. It probably won't help in a moving car, but it works great in a mobile home or stationary RV. If your mobile home or stationary RV has aluminum siding, we recommend an extension cable to get the antenna head outside where the radio signals are.
In most cases grounding of the antenna head is not required. A ground would only be used if you had excessive noise when the antenna is operating outside. If you feel the need to try grounding the antenna head, then run the ground wire from the antenna head to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is either a ground rod typically a 5/8 X 8 copper clad steel or a copper pipe cold water line running into the earth. Copper ground wire can usually be purchased at your local hardware store. An ideal ground has the metal in contact with moist soil.
Note: Grounding the antenna to the center screw on an electrical outlet will likely cause a hum on your radio.
The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna has about 32 dB gain.
The Select-A-Tenna when used in conjunction with the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna, produces curious results and in some cases marked improvement. However, if your radio is in a brick, stucco, aluminum sided, or other non conducive building material, the Select-A-Tenna will have insignificant results.
A fresh 9-Volt battery will last approximately 40 hours.
The cable connection from the tuning box to the radio has a 1/8" male mono plug on one end (tuner box end) and an RCA male on the other. We include a short red patch cord that has an RCA female on one end and that it splits in to two separate red wires. These wires connect to the AM antenna screw and ground screw. One of the red wires has a black stripe on it. This wire connects to the ground screw and the plain red wire connects to the AM antenna screw.
The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna has a small ferrite stick that should be placed under the center of the left wing of the Bose (as it faces you) Placing the ferrite stick in this position will make an inductive connection with the internal ferrite stick of the Bose.
Yes there is loss however the signal to noise ratio is good up to 75' (75' is the maximum distance we recommend).
To work properly, the 25 and 50-foot extension cables must not be coiled up. The coiled cable effectively cancels out the electromagnetic energy. Uncoil the cable for proper reception.
No, do not use RG6 or RG59 cables with your Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna. The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna requires a six-pin Mini DN cable. The cable must have good shielding and other properties to work well with theTwin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna. The Mini DN has six wires in it that are required to supply voltage, signal and antenna tuning between the antenna element and the tuning unit.
The Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna is extremely directional. It must be rotated when tuning in AM stations. If the remote Ferrite Stick Antenna is not rotated, no increase in signal strength may be noticed. Check the connections between the antenna element and tuning box and between the radio and the radio and tuning box.

A LEISURE complex in the heart of Swindon is now taking shape ahead of a grand opening later this year.
Work started on Regent Circus in summer last year and has progressed at a steady rate, with the full shape and scale of the construction fully visible.
When it opens, the site will boast a multi-screen Cineworld cinema, a Morrison's supermarket as well as a range of restaurants.
In a few months' time the site will be handed over to the relevant companies for fitting out ahead of an opening at some time close to the end of the summer or the start of autumn.
James Digby, of Ashfield Land, which owns the land, said he is pleased with the progress being made and feels the opening will be a positive move for the town.
"The project is progressing well and is on target to open at some point in the autumn," he said.
"The venues will be handed over in the summer so they can be fitted out. The cinema and the supermarket will be handed over first with all the restaurants a short time later.
"It is planned that everything will open together. It has all been very positive with everything moving forward as we planned."
As it stands Nando's, Coal, Ask and Prezzo are the restaurants which are signed up to fill the units. There are several still to be filled but James is confident of being able to announce new tenants very shortly.
He said: "The demand for the units has been very high and I have been pleased with the quality of restaurants which have both filled the units and shown an interest.
"We are in advanced talks with several other operators and I hope to be able to make another announcement in the near future."
More than £50 million has been invested in the project, located on the former college site, which is hoped will lift the fortunes of the top end of the town centre.
While work on the road network is currently causing a degree of disruption, many residents and local businesses have said they believe the development will bring them huge benefit.
Earlier this year there were concerns about the level of damage being done to nearby properties after cracks appeared in a church and several houses.
Work has been carried out on the chapel and after closer inspection the cracks which have appeared in properties are not structural so contractors ISG have promised to fix them once the work is completed.

I have had the diearrhea for a week were I would go to the bathroom 3-4 times a day. I was on a Z-Pack of antibiotics for bronchitis 3 weeks ago. Can you tell me what are some of the causes of diarrhea that would last this long?
For acute episodes of diarrhea, there are three major causes: 1) infection, 2) medicines, and 3) food intolerance.
Regarding infections, viruses are by far and away the most common cause. We call this viral gastroenteritis. Normally, this is self-limited, meaning that it is mild (no associated fever, stools 3-4/day, no blood in the stools, minimal abdominal cramping). Sometimes this is associated with nausea and vomiting. Usually this lasts a week or less, so you very well may be at the end of the condition.
Sometimes bacterial infections can cause diarrhea. Most often these are associated with some type of travel (to a different country or out in the wilderness camping), but sometimes can occur from drinking water. Again, most often these infections are self-limited and resolve on their own with 7-10 days.
Certain medicines can cause diarrhea. It is doubtful that the z-pack from 3 weeks ago is now causing the diarrhea. Sometimes bacteria can overgrow after antibiotics, which causes a specific infection caused by C. dificile.
Sometimes the introduction of new foods into the diet can cause diarrhea. There are many more causes, but the above are the three most common.
One should seek medical attention when the following occurs: 1) the diarrhea is associated with a fever, severe abdominal cramping, blood in the stool; 2) dehydration occurs (lightheaded upon standing, dry lips and mouth); or 3) the diarrhea lasts 2 weeks or longer.
In the meantime, it is important to make sure you are well hydrated. (Drink plenty of fluids) It is best to avoid milk products during this time; sports drinks are sometimes good as they have salts and sugar in them).

Our Thoughts
Looking like nothing else out there, the striking Bell Rogue is a different class by its self in the world of half helmets. The real difference is the Rogue's muzzle. Made to shield the face from wind, cold and bugs, and when needed it can quickly detach. The freedom of an open face helmet and the comfort of a 3 quarter; the Rogue is the ultimate expression of attitude on any type of motorcycle.

All moms are now aware of the dangers lurking within our children's products–BPA, phthalates, parabens, harsh chemicals, neurotoxins, carcinogens, and sadly–much, much more. We all want to do our best for our kids, but in a sea of unsafe products, it can be very confusing and overwhelming to actually find the ones that are safe. One area that moms have to be especially careful when buying is children's personal care products such as lotions, bath wash, ointments, shampoos, etc. The problem is that our government does not require any health studies or testing BEFORE they are sold. According to the Environmental Working Group, "people apply an average of 126 unique ingredients on their skin daily" and where do these end up? They get absorbed by your skin {body's largest organ} and go down the drain impacting our environment and our health–including our kids who are more sensitive to these factors!
In an effort to provide people with the truth about what is actually in their cosmetics and personal care products, the Environmental Working Group created the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database, which rates products on a range of 0 to 10 {0=safest}. Finding a product with a 0 score is difficult. Finding a company or brand with every product they make scoring a 0 was impossible. Until now. I am truly excited to let you know that Earth Mama Angel Baby products ALL SCORE A ZERO! Earth Mama Angel Baby has set a new standard for truly toxin-free, natural products!
Earth Mama Angel Baby was founded by nurse, herbalist, and concerned mother Melinda Olson. Her mission is to treat the common symptoms of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and baby care with pure, safe herbal remedies. Her knowledge of traditional herb medicine combines with evidence based research to help soothe and comfort mamas and babies naturally. All Earth Mama Angel Baby® products and teas are formulated without harsh chemicals, toxins or preservatives, and have the best safety ratings in the exceptional Skin Deep toxicity database. Proudly pure, Earth Mama Angel Baby® products are made only with worry-free ingredients: no 1,4-Dioxane, formaldehyde, phthalates, or toxins of any kind. That's Mama's Promise™.
Earth Mama Angel Baby sent me their Angel Baby Kit {pictured above} for me to review. The kit includes
- Angel Baby Bath Blossoms
- Angel Baby Bottom Balm
- Angel Baby Lotion
- Angel Baby Oil
- Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash
- Angel Baby Sleep CD
All of the products in this kit are {of course} 100% natural! It comes packaged in a cute box ready for gift-giving and is the PERFECT baby shower, new mom, new baby gift! All of the products are wonderful, but my favorite hands down in the Baby Bath Blossoms. It is a loose herb blend made with pure, organic blossoms of calendula, chamomile, rosebuds and lavender along with organic lemon balm and moisturizing organic oatmeal. Inside, you'll also find a muslin bag. You fill the bag with the herbs and pop into your baby's bath water. It smells HEAVENLY and is so calming! Perfect for a fussy baby or just as a treat before bed. Oh, and it's not just for babies–moms will want to use it too!
Want It: The Angel Baby Kit retails for $39.95 and can be purchased online at Earth Mama Angel Baby.

Take a trip back in time to a Victorian music hall where a rowdy ensemble of actors mounts a staging of Charles Dickens's unfinished novel. Everyone on stage is a suspect in the murder of young Edwin Drood-and it's up to you to choose the killer! Is it John Jasper, Edwin's protective but slightly maniacal uncle? Rosa Bud, his reluctant betrothed? The debauched Princess Puffer? Each performance ends differently, depending on what the audience decides!

"The writing is deft, most of the characters are intriguing, and Charlie Bone is an appealing boy." (School Library Journal)
"[An] exciting, fast-paced adventure tale...Harry Potter's myriad fans will be well pleased." (Booklist)
Feel like I have been with Audible since the beginning, I listened to books about 2 hours a day and love each and every minute!
"Adults Take on Charlie Bone"
I read a lot of this genre, having a seven year old son who loves mystical, fantastical tales (Harry Potter, Dragon Rider, Eragorn) and I have to say that I enjoyed book better then most. It has the right amount of suspense and magic for the age group but also has one thing that I am partial to; hope.
I have been yearning to find a children's novel of this calibre that provides it's readers with something to look forward to in the next book, not dark forbodings but enthusiastic hope for the future.
Charlie also has the support of a family unit which also seems to be missing from other books. This helps my son associate with the character in a more substantial way.
All in all one of the best finds on Audible, the narration is superb and easily followed by children.
"The Children of the Red King #1"
I hope that audible takes a notion to tell us the order of these books, and to link them together. Just so you know, this is book #1 and a great begining to this authorverse.
"harry potter reinvented"
This is a very fun listen for both kids and adults, and I can't wait for Audible to get the next books! However, while these books are indeed somewhat like Harry Potter in spirit, don't expect them to be exactly like Harry Potter - the plot here is a little slower, while the writing and characters are more complex. So in some ways, they are more enjoyable, while in other ways, they are a bit less of a "page turner" :). All in all, if you liked Harry, you are likely to very much enjoy this book.
"i love it!"
This book is full of fascination and mystery. Everytime i stop reading i just can't wait to continue. Midnight for Charlie Bone is really a Cliffhangar at the end. All my friends who have read it think it's also rated 5 stars!
"It was fascinating!"
I really loved this story. It was fast passed and fascinating. I liked that author's imagination and reader was very good. I can't wait to introduce my neices and nephews to Charlie Bone!
"Does this series get better?"
I couldn't help but notice the Harry Potter similarities, but maybe it's unavoidable to write a story about a child with magical powers that doesnt' center on the school where he goes (although Fablehaven managed to do it.) I thought it had some really interesting ideas, but I thought there were too many characters and they were never really well developped. All in all I felt like it was lacking depth and I wonder if the rest of the series does a better job taking the characters in this book and going deeper with them.
"if you get tired of waiting for HP..."
This story of a boy coming into his magical powers, surrounded by mostly unsupportive or mean family members, and being sent off to a special school to learn to use his magic may remind you of another young wizarding book. This is not as vivid or engaging as that, but until you can get HP on Audible I think this is worth a listen. My ten year old enjoyed it, and I was engaged in it too. We would read more in the series!
"Charlie inherits psychic abilities..."
Midnight for Charlie Bone is the first book in the Children of the Red King series.
This series is meant for very young readers, ages around 7 to 9 are probably best. The main story is about Charlie, a 10 year old boy who lives with his mom and grandma. When Charlie inherits the family gift (psychic abilities), Charlie is sent off to a Hogwarts-like school for training. This school is called Bloors, all very English as the author is from Wales. At Bloor's, Charlie is thrust into the neverendling battle of good vs evil. He meets new friends and faces new foes. For this type of story done much better for all ages, try Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall.
"If you're a Harry Potter fan...."
I was a big fan of the Harry Potter series and I had read other reviews suggesting that it was similar, so I gave it a try. My husband and I both listened to this book and enjoyed it. I don't think this was strictly intended for children. I really enjoyed it and plan to listen tot he next book in the series.
"midnight for charlie bone"
The narrator is great. The book was an easy listen. Very descripitve, it was like I was watching it play out. Never dull and easy to follow, can't wait for the next one.

How about Murphy to NJ for Bobby Simmons and the Mavericks #1 (probably a bottom 10 pick) in 2010? Simmons comes off the books in '10 and we get 2 #1s to look forward to.

Sorry about that. There are multiple possibilities with different players, but this one works pretty well:

Indiana gets:
Devin Harris
Bobby Simmons
Courtney Lee
Why don't you swap out Simmons for Lopez while you're at it.

Seems like we should probably ask for $3mil in cash and maybe a couple draft picks, as well.
This space for rent.
They would've gone 0-30 if they did this trade before the bobcats game.
I'd rather be the Nets than the Pacers.
we get a HUGE expirer (Simmons), a young PG (Harris), and another young swing man (Lee)
Way too good to be true
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
Does that come with a Texas grip handie too?
Yo. I like your trade KanyeSwift, and I'ma let you finish, but I just wanted to say that rm31 had the most unrealistic, lopsided, and immediately rejected trades of all time!
Well, if you take out courtney lee .. this trade does look a little more even. However, Devin Harris probably would not be parted with even though they have only won one game. But we'll see what happens as the year goes on. The Nets will make a big trade with somebody this year.
We just need to get rid of Murphy and Ford... I would love to see Watson start instead actually. But Murphy is just horrible. He has a 3 pt shot and that's only some of the time... He makes everyone on the floor worse. He should be coming off the bench and tyler should be starting. Hibbert and Tyler would make a better front court.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
My good friend Simon Sabin used the term 'invertability' on a Connect item he logged today.
Essentially, Simon's noticed that there are lots of people that use year(someDate), but that the system doesn't understand that this function doesn't affect the order of the items in the index. month(someDate) does, but if you're already using year(someDate), then the combination of the two doesn't change.
This is one of the keys to SARGability, which I've written about before, like at http://bit.ly/sargability. I've also raised a Connect item myself about it.
However, the term 'invertability' is interesting, and ties into the Inverse Predicates concept that I've also used before, like at http://bit.ly/inversepredicates. The idea is that you might have applied a function to a column, creating a predicate that isn't sargable, but if you (or the system) can tell how to invert it, then you can make a predicate that can be easily handled by the Query Optimizer. Currently, the system doesn't understand the invertability of all the functions (even easy ones like the YEAR function), but it's something which would make SQL a lot faster if it did.
I'm going to let you read those various posts yourself, and encourage you to vote for Simon's connect item. But as well as that, I'm going to encourage you to consider the SARGability of the predicates in your query.
Edit: Simon's written a post on this now.

I don't think this is such a good idea. The requested feature is not a must have, there is a very easy workaround. It is a nice to have feature we can live without.
Adding non-essential features slowly kills systems. Ray Ozzie's parting memo to Microsoft is a very good read.
More specifically, the following discussion on Bart Duncan's blog illustrates how complex it is to make any changes to a complex system:
More features does not always mean a better system. In many cases less is more. Just look at the lightning fast Chrome. Look at the recently released Mozilla, which is almost not advertised at all, yet downloaded by millions. Look at Git - it is very simple, not much advertised, and its popularity grows exponentially.

When you drive by Robert Indiana's Numbers, you might think that these more-than-30 year-old sculptures look pretty good. But if you get up close you'll notice that the colors aren't nearly as vibrant as they once were and the surface has lost much of its original glossy appearance. Also, there are a few spots where the paint has chipped or fallen off. So, even though our routine maintenance has kept them looking as good as possible, it's clear they need attention, or since they were made by Indiana, I could say that they, ah, need some LOVE.
Numbers has been on my mind a lot recently because I've been researching the most intervening conservation treatment of the work's life: this spring we'll be completely stripping and re-painting each number to appear as they were first fabricated.
Before undertaking a conservation treatment of this scale it is important first to have all of the historic information at hand so we can be assured that we are making the right choices along the way, and ultimately that Numbers looks great. I won't go into all of the technical information of the treatment here, but I would like to share a bit of its story. Thanks to the help of pre-program objects conservation intern Jessica Ford, we've put together a fairly complete history of Numbers. Jessica and I have also added a lot of information to the Wikipedia article about Numbers.
In 1980 Indiana was commissioned to make Numbers as part of the 20th-anniversary celebration of Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group (then called Melvin Simon & Associates). However, Indiana's interest in numbers began long before 1980, as he states in the 2009 documentary A Visit to the Star of Hope: Conversations with Robert Indiana:
"My involvement with numbers started with my mother, and her insistence on moving from house to house in Indiana. Before I was 17 years old I had lived in 21different houses. For my mother and father, their only amusement was really the automobile, and so we'd jump in the car and go driving around and check out all of those houses that we had lived in; and, of course, there was a number one, and there was a number two, and there was a number three."
For his important 1980 commission Indiana produced the following print called The Ten Stages: Number Sculptures Reflected.
The artist has stated that his inspiration for this drawing came in the early 1970s when he was an artist-in-residence at Dartmouth College and was given a copy of the 19th-century print of The Life and Age of Man: Stages of Man's Life, from the Cradle to the Grave. In a recent telephone interview, Indiana told me that the print still hangs in his studio, and that it looked like this black and white one by James Baille:
From 1980 to 1983, Indiana fabricated each of the eight-foot-tall aluminum sculptures at Lippincott, Inc. in North Haven, CT. In addition to fabricating Indiana's first LOVE sculpture, which is so prominently displayed at the IMA, Lippincott fabricated important works for Ellsworth Kelly, Louise Nevelson, Barnett Newman, and Claes Oldenburg. (A well-illustrated monograph, Large Scale, was published in 2010 about the early years at Lippincott—I recently interviewed the author over on the Art21 Blog.)
In 2002, when a version of Numbers was on display on Park Avenue, Carol Vogel interviewed Indiana about the sculptures for an article in the New York Times. In this article, Indiana identified the significance of the colors of each number in parallel to the original print:
1, Red and green, represents birth
2, Blue and green, infancy
3, Orange and blue, youth
4, Red and yellow, adolescence
5, Blue and white, pre-prime of life
6, Red and green, prime of life
7, Blue and orange, early autumn
8, Orange and purple, autumn
9, Yellow and black, warning
0, Shades of gray, death
"I didn't use 10 because I don't like double digits," he said.
By 1983 Indiana had finished Numbers and it was in the possession of Simon Property Group. While we've not been able to find a clear record of where each number was displayed, or really even good evidence that each part of Numbers was actually on display here in the city, it is known that 1 was first on view outside the Simon headquarters and that some of them were around the city of Indianapolis in the early 1980s at various locations.
Here's a 1981 photo of well-known Children's Museum of Indianapolis director Mildred Compton celebrating her 21st year of service in the central court of the museum on Meridian Street.
And here's an account of 1, 2, and 3 being used as the medal podium backdrop for the 1982 National Sports Festival held here in Indianapolis.
If you have pictures or evidence of any others being on display in Indy, please leave me a note in the comments section. I'd love to see where else they were located.
As part of the commission, Simon Property made arrangements for Numbers to be donated to IMA once their anniversary celebration was finished. True to their word, they were given to the IMA in 1988, but not installed until 1992—around the time the IMA was headlong into constructing the Edward Larrabee Barnes wing of the museum. Here's a slide I scanned of the 1992 installation with three young ladies in the foreground.
Once installed, they remained on the IMA's Alliance Sculpture Court until 2002. After the museum underwent another expansion and renovation, in 2005 they were installed in their current location on the east side of the mall. During this time, Indiana worked with the museum to give Numbers a new arrangement by grouping pairs of them together. Here's how he defined all of the pairings:
41 Pearl Harbor took place while I lived in Indianapolis
29 The crash which I experienced as a child on the East Side
50 Suggesting in part my hometown's most famous institution: the last zero lost on a fast curve
76 The United States birthday every hundred years
38 My father worked for many years on this street
Indiana has created multiple versions of Numbers in a variety of sizes and materials and displayed them all over the world, however the IMA has the original set and the only one that hasn't left the state of Indiana since it was fabricated.
And now a new chapter begins for our Numbers. While it may seem fairly straightforward to restore these sculptures (they are after all, just painted aluminum), they were originally painted with a specialized coating system which is more than 30 years old itself, making them a bit tricky to re-paint correctly. Also, with a total of 20 different colors used (two on each), matching the colors can have its difficulties. But we've assembled a solid team for the project and we all look forward to having them back at the IMA looking better than ever.
Finally, I leave you with picture of Robert Indiana talking with IMA Registrar Sherry Peglow in 2000 when the artist was last here to help install the exhibition Crossroads of American Sculpture, which included other Indiana-born artists John Chamberlain, Bruce Nauman, George Rickey, David Smith, and William Wiley.

Cool post Richard. I have some terribly unflattering Polaroids of me sitting inside some of the numbers when they were in the sculpture court. This was way before my Museum Studies days 😉
Anyway, have you been in touch with Robert Indiana regarding the upcoming conservation/repainting of the artworks? I always like hearing about artist relations with conservation teams, especially with "elder" artists.
Richard McCoy Says:
April 5th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Thanks, Sarah. I had a good phone conversation with Mr. Indiana a few weeks ago and, to be brief, he supports this work. 30 years is a long time for painted metal to be outside, to he's looking forward to having these works repainted.
I'm really looking for photos of the Numbers on display in places other than the IMA.
Anyone have those?

When are the Numbers expected to come back after restoration? This is one of my favorite exhibits and I try to take my daughters picture by their age every year on their birthday as well to help them learn to appreciate art (hopefully!)

Richard, Thanks for the information. While they've never been even of remote interest to me, now that I understand the meaning behind them—I must say–they are very impressive.And the fact that they are separated occasionally to make important anniversaries is even more astonishing.

I hope that Indiana, Hoosiers get the clue and help to come to the 2013 show that IMA will have with Robert Indiana works on display, The State of Indiana needs to celebrate him and his works just simply for the facts that he keeps "Indiana" in peoples minds from around the world. WOW Thanks Robert ! Eddie

It would be really cool for Robert Indiana to do the word "HOOSIERS" for the now famous Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, Indiana !
Think about it Robert, this could really be a way for you to bring your art back home to Indiana and the county of your birth…

WINCHESTER residents have one word for the city council refuse collection service: rubbish.
People living in flats above the High Street had no service for six weeks until last Friday. (MAY9) Householder Michael Newman said: "What a load of rubbish."
Mr Newman said council officers were more concerned that residents were putting rubbish in recycling bins than in the fact that the overflowing bins had not been emptied.
He said officers told residents to use other bins that were owned by local businesses. Mr Newman said: "There is something wrong with communications. They don't seem to know their own system."
A council spokesman said: "There was confusion with trade bins and residential bins in the same location."
He said the bins would be better labelled.

Detailed Description:
This study compared aspirin to warfarin to determine optimal therapy for the prevention of recurrent stroke. Both drugs slow clotting of the blood. Blood clots are involved in the final stages of the most common type of stroke due to blockage of the vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Aspirin affects the blood platelets, while warfarin inhibits circulating clotting proteins in the blood. Numerous previous studies have proven that use of aspirin reduces recurrent stroke by about 25 percent. Part of the controversy about aspirin versus warfarin for stroke prevention has been the thinking among clinicians that warfarin may be a better blood thinner than aspirin to prevent almost all forms of stroke, but that it has greater side effects, increased risk of hemorrhage, and higher costs due to the need for blood tests to monitor the treatment effect for patients.
To make the aspirin and warfarin arms of the study as unbiased as possible, the investigators matched both groups of patients for primary stroke severity, age, gender, education, and race/ethnicity. The two groups were also matched for stroke risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. The investigators used an aspirin dose of 325 mg/day and a warfarin dose specifically tailored to each individual patient.
This study found that aspirin works as well as warfarin in helping to prevent recurrent strokes in most patients.

It should surprise no one that controversy had been simmering at the Naval Postgraduate School. How could it not? The Monterey institution is a large compound where exceedingly bright people compete for funding, promotions and attention, a place where important work is done, sometimes in secrecy. Add in a change of mission, and you have all the ingredients for a big steaming pot of tension and conflict.
The recently completed investigation by the naval Inspector General revealed, among other things, that the now-deposed leadership of NPS had kept things mostly under good control even while steering the school in a new direction. From its traditional role of providing advanced technical training for career military officers, it has become more and more of a research university seeking new challenges while attracting supplemental income.
But for reasons not at all obvious, the long report of the Inspector General's investigation creates the impression that NPS President Daniel Oliver and Provost Leonard Ferrari had essentially changed the direction all on their own, virtually without the knowledge of the Navy and the Defense Department. And that, of course, would have been impossible.
It was the Navy and the Defense Department that had decided to appoint Oliver, a retired admiral, as the first civilian president at NPS. The decisions Oliver and Ferrari made, highly popular with much if not most of the faculty, were not made in secret. The increased reliance on grant funding was no secret either.
Even after Oliver's forced resignation and Ferrari's placement on administrative leave, the genesis of the investigation remains unclear and the motivations of those behind it remain open to question.
By one reading of the various reports, the investigation was prompted by insider complaints about violation of regulations on hiring and procurement. Most of that involved failure to follow Navy channels before making fairly standard and fairly insignificant spending decisions. The investigation did turn up some cases of bad judgment. Proper procedures were all but ignored during the hiring of a chief financial officer, for example. Gifts that should have been routed through the Navy took a more expeditious path, but there were no examples of self-enrichment or graft.
Though the investigation fell short of documenting any pattern of corruption, it did form the rationale for the dramatic moves against Oliver and Ferrari. The reports make it clear that higher-ups in Washington were bothered by the decision to have NPS emulate leading research universities such as Stanford or MIT. But two weeks after the personnel changes, no one has explained why the brass didn't just announce that the original mission was being restored and let Oliver and Ferrari go on their ways with a hearty handshake.
By suddenly removing the leadership while simultaneously releasing lengthy and complex investigative reports, the Navy caused an impression in some quarters that they had been caught in some sort of corrupt acts. Unless we're all missing something here, the Navy should redouble its efforts to erase that misimpression and make it clear that the focus should have been on the mission, not the men.

Azazel is an active participle or participial noun, derived ultimately from azal (connected with the Arabic word azala, and meaning removed), but immediately from the reduplicate form of that verb, azazal. The reduplication of the consonants of the root in Hebrew and Arabic gives the force of repetition, so that while azal means removed, azalzal means removed by a repetition of acts. Azalzel or azazel, therefore, means one who removes by a series of acts. ... The interpretation is founded on sound etymological grounds, it suits the context wherever the word occurs, it is consistent with the remaining ceremonial of the Day of Atonement, and it accords with the otherwise known religious beliefs and symbolical practices of the Israelites. [Rev. F. Meyrick, "Leviticus," London, 1882]
Meaning "one who is blamed or punished for the mistakes or sins of others" first recorded 1824; the verb is attested from 1943. Related: Scapegoated; scapegoating. For the formation, compare scapegrace, also scape-gallows "one who deserves hanging."

We all feel tired from time to time. Usually, it's obvious why
we are tired. We take the time to rest and get over it quickly.
This sort of tiredness can stop us from enjoying and getting on
with our lives.
These can be physical or psychological, or both.
Any serious illness can make you tired, especially painful
ones. Even less serious illnesses, like glandular fever, can
leave you feeling worn out.
Even if you have got over cancer or
heart problems, you can still have a problem with tiredness.
There is also evidence that some women with tiredness may have too

People with CFS/ME have often felt that doctors believed that
their problem was 'all in the mind' - even though they had physical
symptoms. Doctors now recognise that this is an illness, although
it is poorly-understood. Like many other 'physical' illnesses, such

It'd be great to have a great week of basketball to celebrate
I'll never forget that day, closed one of the worst chapters in Pacer history.
Never could have dreamed that Vogel would have done such a fantastic job. He turned out to be much, much more than just "Not JOB".
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
what is satan.. i mean Obrien up to these days anyway... last i heard he was an assistant somewhere??
I would say the 8th wonder of the world is that Vogel turned out to be JOB's exact opposite.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
I would imagine every assistant coach does that and should do that.
If I were a GM and I was interviewing an assisstant coach, one question I would ask is what would you do differently (I don't care if we just won the championship) and if the guy answers, I wouldn't change a thing - then I would stop the interview right there and move to the next candidate.

He actually got a good gig which most posters here said would never happen. He is the assistant head coach in Dallas..... The man is a first class NBA coach and he did a great job in rebuilding the Pacers on the fly..... ...
"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. "
It wasn't JOB's vision. It was Larry Bird's vision. He brought O'Brien in to be a disciplinarian and to mold the roster into a running team. He did what he was hired to do and he did it well with an almost complete roster turnover.... Coaches in rebuilding situations never get to reap the fruit of their efforts..... You will note that he quickly went to work for another Bird disciple in Dallas. I never heard Bird say a negative word about JOB....... If Bird goes to another team as is rumored, don't be surprised if JOB comes along too...... ...
Even though some on here may not always agree with OlBlu, let's stop with the namecalling. He has a somewhat different view on certain things, and you may or may not agree, but if you take a step back, he does add a different dimension to the discussion at times.
Now onto the discussion, I agree that JOB did do a lot of things that were wrong. He didn't play the young players, he was stubborn, and he did use a basketball philosophy that most people did not enjoy. We can overstate it for popularity sake, let's shoot 3's all day long as soon as we cross half court and to make sure we can get up enough 3's, let's not play defense so we can use the great equalisor. However, I have to agree with OlBlu that he did instill harsh rules, everybody had to follow suit and he did instill a winning mentality. Even if you are crap, you are not allowed to slack off and are forced to squeeze out as many wins as is possible. You keep on playing hard! Even though some things coulda/shoulda/woulda been different, the players did learn some things.
Though most of us did not like the playing style, people were fed up with the throw the ball in the post and let's wait until somethings happens... or not!-style that Carlisle had the team playing. Just go back to earlier threads on PD.

Yay, we don't know what we're doing as a franchise! thanks PG!
Today Jan. 30, 2013 is a notable day in Indiana Pacers history. Two years ago, Larry Bird fired Jim OBrien after three-and-a-half seasons and promoted Frank Vogel, a guy with zero head coaching experience, to interim head coach.
The move paid off and the health of the franchise is much greater because of it.
Jim OBrien didnt sit well with players. The team was 17-27 on Jan 30., 2011. My last memory of OBrien is watching him get tossed the night before in Chicago, and being escorted off the floor by John Gray, the teams Director of Team Security.
Enter Vogel (a loyal friend and mentee of OBriens), who paid his dues working his way up from video coordinator, to scout, to assistant coach and was now directing an NBA team. He built a great rapport in the locker room and it was his relationships and up-beat attitude that would change the culture of the franchise.
Bring on smashmouth basketball. That was the term he used to describe their play over the first year-and-a-half.
Vogel finished the year 20-18 and had the interim tag removed over the summer. He went out and hired Brian Shaw, a worthy head coach, to be his Associate Head Coach. He also brought on a former head coach in Jim Boylen and kept longtime assistant Dan Burke on board.
Last season, he guided the Pacers to a 42-24 record, good for the fifth-best record in the NBA during the lockout-shortened season. This year, the Pacers have been among the top of the Eastern Conference without the services of Danny Granger. When the team struggled in the early going, Vogel wasnt afraid to shake things up and implement change.
Just over three weeks ago on Jan. 7th, Vogel received a contract extension which both recognized what he has done and provided some job security.
On the two-year anniversary of his start as an NBA head coach, Frank Vogel, the second-youngest active NBA coach behind Orlandos Jacque Vaughn, has a career record of 88-61 (.591).
Well said. The current Lakers coach has a high profile job although I am not a fan, he is very similar to JOB in all the things that you state. At the time that JOB was hired, Phoenix seemed to be new big thing and I think that had a lot to with Bird hiring JOB and forcing that running game..... ...
What a great day that was in Pacers history! From that first interview Frank did, I have been sold.
And although there are similarities, and yes, D'Antoni likes skilled bigmen, D'Antoni's offense is significantly better and actually involves a lot of traditional basketball fundamentals.
IMO, JOB was much closer to Westhead's philosophy, which was "run the ball and take the first open shot" essentially. But once again, Westhead is a significantly better coach and showed over time that he was willing to adjust his sytem to his teams, or at least did so when he was older.
Bottom line is, teams where Westhead and D'Antoni's systems worked had players who supported them. I have yet to hear of a player respecting JOB at all, (In fact, pretty much the most positive review of Jimmy has come from AJ Price...who when prodded to say something negative about JOB...laughs a bit and simply compliments Frank.) but a whole lot of them have openly and pretty aggressively stated their dislike (and not just Pacers players.)
This is interesting OlBlu in here propping up JOB and Vnzla hasn't jumped his ****? What up with that?

ARGYLE — North Texas Book Festival Inc. is helping town residents and businesses establish miniature libraries throughout the town where people can exchange books for free.
Because Argyle doesn't have a library, resident Karen Kiel approached the nonprofit organization and planted the idea to have Little Free Library posts established throughout the town and officials agreed to endorse it.
North Texas Book Festival officials agreed to cover the cost of the membership needed to have a library installed for the first 10 people who volunteer to install a Little Free Library post on their properties.
"NTBF [North Texas Book Festival] pays for the membership, but the person or business putting up the Little Free Library buys the library," said founder Lynn Simmons.
"I think people will really enjoy exchanging books."
The Little Free Library is part of a national organization of the same name that promotes literacy and reading.
According to the Little Free Library website, libraries start at $250 to purchase. The libraries are outdoor fixtures that can be placed in the yard of a resident's home or in front of a business.
The birdhouse-shaped library has two shelves and is a little more than 5 feet tall.
Residents can check books out for free, but to check one out, a person must exchange it for one of their own.
Residents Dave and Kathy Salisbury volunteered to install the first Little Free Library last week in front of their business, The Real Estate Station located at 702 N. U.S. Highway 377 in Argyle.
"We're really happy about it," Kathy Salisbury said. "We hope to have more of these all over the area. It's a new concept, but hopefully through the word of mouth, it will spread."
The couple said they were searching for a location to establish another library at their expense.
"Ours was paid for, so this will be our way of paying it forward," she said.
A few residents have tried to get a town library approved in Argyle for several years, according to Salisbury and Simmons.
"We're hoping the little libraries will blanket the town," Kathy Salisbury said. "There are so many good spots in town for these, and they'll be good for kids, especially when school is out and the school libraries are closed."
The two-shelf structure will hold books for all ages, including mysteries, romance, history and cookbooks.
"I haven't caught anyone using the library yet, but I have noticed some book rotation," she said.
North Texas Book Festival is accepting book donations and is asking residents to volunteer to help with the Little Free Library locations.
Residents interested in designing their own library and installing it on their property can contact Simmons at 940-464-3368 for more information.
Simmons said she is in the process of finalizing the locations of additional libraries and expects them to be installed soon.
"We've been trying for years to get a library in the town," Simmons said. "This gets us closer to the idea and curtails our needs just a bit, but we're very pleased with what we're doing now."
