Thomas: Reserves should be winners, but Granger belongs
By Vincent Thomas, for NBA.com
Posted Jan 29 2009 3:11PM
I talked to Larry Bird in mid-January, a couple days after Danny Granger beasted on Golden State for 42 points, a game the Pacers lost, 120-117. Prior to our conversation, Granger was on a January tear. He'd been averaging about 33 points during a seven-game stretch in which the Pacers lost more games than they won. Their record was 13-25 when we spoke and I could sense that Bird was unsure, maybe even a bit pessimistic, about the chances of his young stud repping the franchise in Phoenix the next month.
"To be honest, I'd rather see him on the 2012 Olympic team," said Bird. "That's what I want for him more than an All-Star berth."
I thought to myself, "That's all good and I'm sure he'll be there, but London is three years away, Mr. Legend." It seemed like Bird was preparing himself, Granger and Pacers' fans for disappointment. Bird knows a lot about All-Star invites. He went to all but one All-Star game during his career -- and had it not been for those bone spurs in his heels, we can bet he'd have been at the Astrodome in Houston in 1989, too. Bird knows that All-Star teams are like elite fraternities or exclusive Boys Clubs. It's tough to get in. With Indiana's current record, Granger might not be coming from the right "family," so to speak.
Thursday night, the NBA will reveal who the coaches have picked as All-Star reserves. Every year, this incites foaming-at-the-mouth outrage about "snubs." Who's deserving? Who's not? Fans get irate and players catch feelings. Perhaps nothing is more abstract and circumstantial than the idea of What Makes An All-Star.
Minnesota's Al Jefferson, by any statistical measure, is outballing the Lakers' Pau Gasol. Same goes for Devin Harris' seemingly more-deserved candidacy compared to Mo Williams. Granger is the fourth-leading scorer in the league and in the top three for fourth-quarter scoring. Yet, if it came down to Granger and Paul Pierce -- who's having a sub-par statistical season -- it wouldn't surprise Bird if Pauly got the nod. The guys that pick the reserves (the coaches) like to reward the players on winning teams, even if their production is dwarfed by a peer playing for a cellar-dweller. This is especially true when the players at risk of getting snubbed are youngsters that don't know the secret handshake yet. There's a reason why Toronto's Chris Bosh, the star of this season's most disappointing team, is a lock to get an invite. If you've been there once, coaches are more apt to send you again. This ain't new.
The first All-Star game I can remember was the 1985 fastbreak-fest, the one where Ralph Sampson won the MVP. It seemed like a Sampson dunk was the end result of each of Magic's 15 assists. You know who wasn't invited that season? Dominique Wilkins ... even though 'Nique was close to leading the league in scoring. Terry Cummings made it, getting his first invite before 'Nique, his '83 Draft classmate, got his. Cummings averaged 23.6 points and nine boards. 'Nique was turning in 27 points, seven boards and about five highlights per game. The difference was that Cummings played for the Central division-leading Bucks, whereas the Hawks were barely in playoff contention.
That same year, Bernard King (pummeling the league for the lowly Knicks) and Norm Nixon (playing solid ball for the no-Playoff Clippers) both got invites -- not their firsts. 'Nique didn't break into the Boys Club until 1986, when his Hawks were on their way to 50 wins. 'Nique's situation is shared by the bulk of his peers. Alex English, Patrick Ewing, Antawn Jamison, Chris Webber, Jamal Mashburn -- they didn't make an All-Star squad until their production was bolstered by their teams' success. Purvis Short averaged 28 and then 26 for the lowly Golden State Warriors in the mid-80s and got snubbed. We've yet to see Zach Randolph rocking an All-Star jersey.
That's what Granger and Jefferson and Harris are up against. With their All-Star cherry un-burst, they're competing against players that either have the "perennial All-Star" tag or first-time candidates that happen to be playing important roles on important teams. Mo Williams of the Cavs and Orlando's Jameer Nelson have been nowhere near as prolific as Harris, but they've played outstanding, entertaining and essential basketball for teams that carry far more import than Harris' inconsequential New Jersey Nets. Gasol's numbers are productive but semi-modest by typical All-Star standards. Meanwhile, Big Al is going berserk on his competition. Problem is, until this month, that wasn't resulting in Ws for the Timberwolves.
We gotta add Granger to the historical list of exceptions (like Joe Johnson in 2007 or Michael Adams in 1992). The young dude is playing at such an elite level (only the LeBron-Kobe-DWade trio is performing better) that his performance completely outweighs his team's middling record. As for the other hopeful first-timers, I'm sorry. Do you reward the dudes playing at high level for super-achieving squads or the guys playing at a slightly higher level (statistically, at least) for mediocre or bad teams? I'm rollin' with the winners.

To make it even better, I like to use just the asparagus tips for this recipe, and save the thicker parts of the asparagus stalk to cook using a different method. If that doesn't work for you, cook the thicker parts of the asparagus stalks for a couple of minutes before you add the tips.
Pan-Fried Asparagus Tips with Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest
1/2 lb. asparagus tips (from one pound of asparagus, save the rest of the asparagus to cook another way)
1 T good quality olive oil
1 lemon, remove all zest, then cut lemon in half
Cut 4-5 inch long tips from one pound of asparagus (saving the thicker stalk ends for another recipe.) Zest the lemon, then cut lemon in half and remove any noticeable seeds.
Heat the olive oil in the largest frying pan you have. (I used a non-stick pan, but any good frying pan will work.) Add asparagus in a single layer and turn heat to medium-high. Cook asparagus 4-5 minutes, turning about once a minute. Asparagus is done when the thickest part of the stalk can be pierced fairly easily with a fork but asparagus still has some snap to it, and asparagus is starting to brown.
Turn off heat, the squeeze over juice of half the lemon (or use the whole lemon if it's not especially juicy.) Arrange asparagus on a plate with all stalks facing the same way, sprinkle with lemon zest and serve immediately.

Since the first commercial sale of Posilac on Feb. 4, 1994, it has helped deliver substantial economic and environmental benefits, in addition to helping today's dairy producers meet a growing demand for milk.
To date, more than 37 million U.S. dairy cows have been supplemented with Posilac over its 20 years in the marketplace, reducing producers' costs by about $6.3 billion over the two decades or $.50 to $1.50 on every hundredweight.1 Further, Posilac enables cows to produce about 10 lbs. more milk per day.2
Jeff Wilbur, owner of Rio Blanco Dairy in Tulare, Calif., was an early adopter of Posilac and has used the product in his herd nearly continually since. "It offers more milk. The math speaks for itself," Wilbur said. Rio Blanco had a short lapse in use from July 2009 to July 2010 due to market conditions and premiums, but Wilbur reported a significant drop in milk production during that period. "We just didn't have the milk we were accustomed to, so we went back to the product. As the dairy market improved through 2010 and 2011, the added milk was a real thrust to increase gross revenue adding to the financial healing."
In fact, six U.S. dairy cows supplemented with Posilac produce the same amount of milk as seven cows without it.3 Beyond the economic benefits, it also offers significant environmental resource savings. On average annually over the past 20 years Posilac use has resulted in4:
- 3.2 million tons less feed required annually, enough to fill about 133,300 semi-trucks. (63.4 million tons cumulatively)
- 1,023 square miles less land use required each year, equal to half a million football fields which would be enough to circle the Earth's equator when laid end to end. (20,464 square miles total)
- An average of 95.6 billion gallons less water used annually, or the annual household consumption of the entire state of New Mexico. (1.9 trillion gallons total)
- 4.6 million tons less manure produced, equivalent to the weight of 99 Titanics. (92 billion tons total)
- 2.9 million metric tonnes less CO2 equivalent produced, equal to removing 617,126 cars from the road. (58.5 million tonnes total)
"Posilac plays an important role in reducing the environmental footprint of dairy production," says Dennis Schaffler, senior director of Elanco's dairy business unit. "This is critically important given the World Wildlife Fund reports the world is already overusing its resources, requiring 1.5 years to regenerate annual resource consumption."
Products like Posilac will be even more important in the future. While global dairy productivity has doubled in the past 50 years, there's 14 percent less milk available per person today than in 1961.5 U.S. dairy producers reduced the deficit by adding an average of 8.85 billion 8-oz glasses of milk4 to our global supply annually due to Posilac use.
But the gap will likely grow. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) projects demand for meat, eggs and dairy products to increase by 60 percent6 in the coming decades as 3 billion people enter the middle class7 and demand a higher quality diet. The effects are already being seen. The FAO recently reported global dairy prices have jumped by almost a third in the past year due to growing demand from China, north Africa and Russia amid limited supplies.
On average around the world today, we have access to about one 8-oz. glass of milk (or equivalent serving of yogurt or cheese) a day.5 The global recommended intake is two glasses a day.8 Current per capita milk production around the world already isn't meeting basic nutritional needs.
Elanco assembled a team of researchers to study this issue, led by Dr. Roger Cady, senior technical consultant and global sustainability lead at Elanco. Based on FAO demand estimates and current productivity trends, by 2020 we won't even have access to a glass of milk a day on average globally.
If we look at securing everyone with the two glasses a day our bodies really need for growth and cognitive development, more than 4.5 billion people will not be able to meet their daily nutritional requirement for milk.9
"I'm confident our U.S. dairy producers will play a critical role in meeting the dairy nutrition needs of our growing population," Schaffler said. "But continued innovations will be a key part of the solution. Elanco is pleased to support a breakthrough innovation like Posilac that's delivered so many benefits to dairy producers and society. We are poised to build on that foundation with a robust innovation pipeline that will help producers meet the growing global demand for nutrient-rich dairy products."

text: · #1 February 8, 2006 · Report post I'm thinking of building my own Hifi rack. Having been inspired by TNT Audio's design for the "Flexi Table": http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/flexye.html and another thread I read recently but cannot find now about someone's ikea "lack" table-based idea, I thought I might combine the ideas, and make something unique. Please can you look at the design below. It shows one leg of a table which will have one leg at the rear and 2 at the front (three in total for ease of balance - I know TNT recommend not having a leg running at the centre of the back of the units because it gets in the way of the cabling, but I prefer it for aesthetic reasons). I have sourced all the materials and this can be put together for £40 plus some postage costs I do not know yet. I expect the total build to be fairly short of £60. Does this seem like a good design? Are there any aspects I've neglected? One problem I envisage and cannot counter yet is one of balance. When I tried the suash ball technique, I noticed the weight in my cd and amp are not evenly distributed (why should it be?) and so the units tilted significantly. Any suggestions? I do not know how firm the damping sheeting is (it is incredibly heavy - each layer will weigh nearly 2 kg). Any advice/comments/words of warning would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

Don't miss: See rare copies of the Declaration of Independence
PORTLAND, Ore. - Two rare copies of the Declaration of Independence, which have never been on public display before now, are on exhibit at the Oregon History Museum.
They are part of the museum's new Windows on America: The Challenges of Presidential Leadership exhibit, a collection of 120 artifacts/documents from the Mark Family Collection. Portland philanthropist Melvin 'Pete" Mark spent decades collecting these items for his personal collection.
"This is the first ever showing of the Mark Collection and I think it's the finest collection of presidential artifacts this side of the Smithsonian," said Kerry Tymchuk, the museum's executive director.
The gems of the exhibit, of course, are the two copies of the Declaration of Independence but there is also another treasure - a handwritten letter from Thomas Jefferson to legislative leaders in Georgia, expressing his appreciation for helping elect him to the presidency.
Binns Copy
Americans treasured the declaration of July 4, 1776, asserting their independence. However, it was not until 1818 that Americans were able to see the text in engraved writing as opposed to print.
John Binns, a publisher of newspapers and engravings of famous Americans, conceived in 1816 a plan to print an accurate text surrounded by a decorative band of cords, flags, olive branches, state seals, and portraits of George Washington, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson.
Secretary of State John Quincy Adams authenticated the signatures, each carefully engraved by Tanner, Vallance, Kearney & Company. Nearly three years of work went into securing the artworks and preparing the plate for printing. Plain copies sold for $10; hand-colored copies were $13. The illustrated work was reproduced in 1872 as the first photoengraving in the world.
Stone Copy
The second is a rare Stone copy of the original Declaration. In 1802, John Quincy Adams hired William J. Stone (1798-1865) to create an exact facsimile of the Declaration of Independence.
The project consumed three years to etch the text and fifty-six signatures, exactly as written, onto a copper plate. It is likely that Stone put water on the Declaration in order to lift off an ink impression, a process that dramatically faded the original.
Stone commissioned 200 copies on vellum, however the copy on display is what is known as a "Peter Force Proof Copy," one of perhaps four copies printed on bank-note paper. It is named for the government official who started the archival documents collections of the Library of Congress. Force served as Stone's assistant and helped in printing the 1823 facsimile.
If You Go
The museum is located at 1200 S.W. Park Avenue in downtown Portland and will actually be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 4 for Independence Day. Regular museum hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
Admission is free for Multnomah County residents and museum members. Otherwise it's $11 for adults, $9 for those 60 and older, $9 for students (with student ID) and $5 for kids ages 6 to 18. Kids 5 and under are free.

Indians drill four homers to take opener from A's
Reynolds launches one into the bleachers; Kipnis, Cabrera also go yard
CLEVELAND -- Fans visiting Progressive Field this season should beware of flying objects. That also goes for longtime stadium drummer John Adams, who sits safely perched in the highest row atop the bleacher seats behind the left-field wall.
Adams might consider packing a glove to go along with his drum.
Mark Reynolds launched a pitch deep into the Cleveland night on Monday, sending a fifth-inning blast three rows shy of the top of the left-field bleachers. The jaw-dropping display of power highlighted a four-homer attack that propelled the Indians to a 7-3 victory over the A's in the opener of a four-game series.
"As long as it hits the seats, I'm happy," manager Terry Francona said.
Ubaldo Jimenez gave the Tribe a solid effort on the mound and shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera belted a pair of home runs, but it was Reynolds' shot that stood out. The blast, off A's starter Jarrod Parker, was measured at 460 feet, but it might as well have been a mile. Reynolds admired his work for a moment, taking a few slow steps out of the batter's box before shifting into a trot.
Down the tunnel, inside a video room, second baseman Jason Kipnis could not believe where Reynolds' home run landed.
"I almost fell out of my chair in there," said Kipnis. "I wanted to jump up to go run out there, and the chair almost gave way. I almost tipped over in there. I immediately ran out there. I've never seen people put them up there."
The home run was Reynolds' American League-leading 10th and moved the Indians' season total through 29 games to 44, which also paces the Junior Circuit. Last season the Indians did not reach 44 home runs until their 55th game (June 6). They have only had one player (Albert Belle in 1995) finish as the AL's leading home run hitter in the past 53 years.
But there's still a long way to go this season, and that's why Reynolds was not about to get too caught up in the moment.
"They all count. First row, back row, whatever," Reynolds said. "It's just a homer, guys."
Cleveland (15-14) wasted little time breaking through against Parker, who surrended a one-out solo home run to Kipnis in the first inning. Six pitches later, Cabrera pulled a pitch to left-center field, where it cleared the fence for back-to-back blasts, pushing the Indians to a two-run lead. Later in the first, Parker hit Reynolds in the back with a pitch, leading home-plate umpire Angel Hernandez to issue a warning to both teams.
Cabrera struck again in the fifth inning, when he led things off by sending an offering from Parker (five innings, four runs, seven strikeouts) arcing high over right field. The ball sailed down the line and carried just beyond the wall, giving the shortstop four long balls on the season.
Two batters later, Reynolds delivered the knockout punch on the first pitch he received.
Parker exited the game with a neck strain, creating an obvious punchline in light of the quartet of home runs he'd allowed. The right-hander said that he has been bothered by the injury for some time now, and A's manager Bob Melvin admitted that Parker did not look right on the mound.
"Well, it's not like him," Melvin said. "He's a guy that you don't expect to get hit. Sometimes he's a little bit wild, puts some guys on base via the walk, but I would say the amount of home runs he's given up is a little ... Well, it's not him."
The Indians added some insurance in the seventh, when veteran Jason Giambi drove in a pair of runs with a bases-loaded single off reliever Chris Resop. Ryan Raburn, who was named the AL's Player of the Week earlier in the afternoon, added an RBI double to push the lead to five runs.
Jimenez (2-2) picked up the win after limiting Oakland (18-15) to two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. Yoenis Cespedes clubbed his sixth homer of the year on a 2-0 pitch in the fourth and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Jimenez ended the evening with a season-high eight strikeouts, including the 1,000th of his career, and turned in his second solid performance in a row.
"It feels good," said Jimenez, who has wins in consecutive starts for the first time since last May. "It feels good to be able to go out there and compete and give your team a chance to win."
Jimenez might owe lefty reliever Nick Hagadone a handshake.
In the sixth inning, Jimenez yielded a two-out single to Brandon Moss, then issued a walk to Josh Donaldson to load the bases. At that juncture the Indians turned to Hagadone, who was promoted from Triple-A Columbus shortly before the game.
With the bags full and Cleveland clinging to a two-run lead, Hagadone slipped an 84-mph slider by Josh Reddick for a called third strike. As Hagadone headed off the field following his crucial escape act, Reddick looked to the sky and flipped his bat in disgust.
"He's my boy," a smiling Jimenez said of Hagadone.
Jimenez also raved about the lineup, which has backed him with 32 runs of support across his six starts this season. Up and down the lineup, Cleveland has featured a blend of speed and power to form a potent brand of offense.
Reynolds has provided the bulk of the power, though is it nothing new for the slugger. Dating back to Aug. 31 of last year, he has led the Majors in home runs, with 21. He has also topped 30 home runs in a season three times in his career.
Plenty of those shots over the years have been of the tape-measure variety.
And Monday's blast to the bleachers came with a touch of revenge.
"He hit me," Reynolds said of Parker. "I normally don't [show off], but he hit me. A little gamesmanship. Having some fun."

Different Drummer is an drum machine app for the iPad. It started out as a $300 app. It dropped to $150 and for a limited time you can now grab it for $50. Expensive for an app for sure but watch the videos above. It's certainly different and it gets some creative ideas going. I will wait for further price drop I think but kinda cool no? The developer has a synth coming soon too.
"Different Drummer is your secret weapon in the quest for innovative beats that make sense yet defy the status quo. Using patent pending Cyclophone Technology, Different Drummer taps into the primal source of all drumming—waves. Wave motion propels almost everything you can imagine and it's the perfect controller for drumming too. Different Drummer puts out multi-track drum beats and music sequences which are remarkably lifelike or primal at times and out of this world at others. Different Drummer is not a drum synthesizer but uses waves to play the drum samples (or other samples) in amazing ways that vary from electro and dubstep to tribal to classical." – technemedia.com

SWINDON Robins have been dealt yet another blow ahead of tomorrow's visit to Leicester, after Daniel Nermark suffered an injury riding this evening.
The Swede was due to guest for Troy Batchelor against the Lions tomorrow, after original guest Davey Watt suffered a back injury last night, but the veteran crashed while guesting for Poole at Coventry this evening and is on his way to hospital.
With rider replacement already in operation for number one Peter Kildemand, who is in Grand Prix qualifying action along with Batchelor, Rossiter is now searching for another guest. There is a limited pool available, with 19 Elite League riders absent due to the GP qualifiers.
Leicester are also depleted for tomorrow's contest, with Nicolai Klindt, Jason Doyle and Mads Korneliussen bidding to reach the GP series. They are replaced by Ashley Birks, Bjarne Pedersen and Rory Schlein.

Each day in November—leading up to the winter meetings—Sporting News will analyze the offseason to-do list of a major league team. Today: the Washington Nationals.
Their season ended with a major disappointment, but one look at the future should cheer up the Washington Nationals. They finished with the majors' best record in 2012 and are virtually certain of being better in 2013, barring catastrophic injuries. They won't have the Stephen Strasburg shutdown hanging over them, they won't have to wonder when Bryce Harper will arrive and, most important, their young players will have gained the experience of playing in the postseason. Well, all except Strasburg, that is.
The Nationals have to figure out what to do at first base, one outfield position and the fifth starter spot. And, perhaps, tweak the bullpen. None of their holes should be that difficult to fill, though.
Losing Gold Glove-winning first baseman Adam LaRoche would hurt the defense, but the offense should be able to overcome the loss of his 33 homers. Moving Mike Morse from left field to first and pursuing a free-agent outfielder could make the offense even more productive. Free agent Michael Bourn long has been considered a good fit in D.C. partly because he is represented by Scott Boras, as are numerous Nationals. Even if Washington fails to land a free-agent outfielder, it could opt for a platoon of Roger Bernadina and up-and-comer Tyler Moore in left.
Catcher is another position worth watching. Washington traded for Kurt Suzuki in early August, and he exceeded expectations. If Wilson Ramos reports to camp fully recovered from season-ending knee surgery, the Nationals will have two catchers capable of starting. They also will have Jesus Flores, once considered the franchise's top backstop.
The rest of the lineup is stocked with All-Star types at third base, shortstop, second base, right field and center field. A rotation led by Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann needs nothing but a boost at the back end. Ross Detwiler has the inside track on the fourth spot, and the Nationals could make John Lannan the No. 5 starter if they don't bring in an innings-eating veteran who isn't looking for a long-term deal.
Even the bench already is in strong shape with the return of veteran Chad Tracy and the presence of 24-year-old Steve Lombardozzi, who would be considered a capable starter for many clubs.
LaRoche is coming off a career year and probably has priced himself out of Washington. Righthander Edwin Jackson has dumped Boras with the hope of landing more than a one-year deal, but it isn't likely to come from the Nationals. Relievers Sean Burnett and Mike Gonzalez also are free agents but are talking with the club about returning.
Journeymen pitchers Chien-Ming Wang and Zach Duke figure to move on. For all that Mark DeRosa brought to the clubhouse, the infielder/outfielder hit only .188 and is facing the end of his playing days.
The Nationals surprised many in 2012 when they moved into first place on May 22 and stayed there the rest of the season. In 2013, the surprise will be if they don't spend most of the season atop the NL East.

Scantily clad women; wads of cash; fancy jewellery; club scene; hot tub scene; nice cars.
Real original. Just what the scene needs.
The video: Yeah, it's "been there, done that", but not bad. Only real problem I noticed was the man can't lip sync! Otherwise, the video's not bad.
The track: I've actually listened to four tracks from his CD, and "Fever" happens to be the one I like most. Nice rythme, good club beat. You can definately dance to it and bump it in yo' trunk.
Ron-Ron, the rapper, is still a work in progress. He's clearly not a polished product yet, but he's getting there.
What I want to know is what is Ron Ron smoking in the blunt?
BTW, the song sucks. If he was not an NBA player, he could never get a record made. It is as simple as that. Really original there Ron, using the Funky Drummer break that every rapper used circa 1989!
Slug 'em Sabres!!!!!
Not as bad as I expected. I see Mike Tyson when I think of Ron 10 years from now.
That was actually pretty good. Catchy music, Artest was dressed very smoothly, and the scantily clad women were some of the best I've ever seen in a video I didn't order from Vivid.
The song could be worse, but the video's not very good, IMO.
EDIT - Screw that, after the last 45 seconds of the song....wow....that's horrible......

Alumni Success Story
Sites' New Book Looks at the Shadowy Cost of War
Communication alumnus and award-winning journalist Kevin Sites' new book The Things They Cannot Say is getting rave reviews from around the US.
Sites (BA '83) says the critical reviews are nice, but "the reviews from veterans letting me know the book is helping them to communicate with their families or communities makes it all feel worthwhile."
The Things They Cannot Say took three long years to produce and lives up to its title. "It's difficult to get soldiers, Marines and other service members to talk about their war experiences," says Sites.
In the book, eleven soldiers and Marines display a rare courage that transcends any battlefield exploits -- they share the truth about their wars. For each of them it means something different. One struggles to recover from a head injury he believes has stolen his ability to love, another attempts to make amends for the killing of an innocent man, while yet another finds respect for the enemy fighter who tried to kill him.
In The Things They Cannot Say Sites compiles hundreds of hours of his own reporting including audio and video footage, email correspondences, interviews with soldiers, Marines, their families and friends, and mines the work of some of war's greatest writers, thinkers and philosophers including Tim O'Brien, Karl Marlantes, J.Glenn Gray, Dr. Jonathan Shay and Edward Tick Ph.D.
Sites says he added to the intimacy of the accounts. " I share the unsettling narrative of my own moral failures during war and the redemptive powers of storytelling in arresting a spiraling path of self-destruction."
What he learns is that war both gives and takes from those most intimately involved in it. Some struggle in perpetual disequilibrium, while others are able to find balance, usually with the help of communities who have learned to listen, without judgment, to the real stories of the men and women it has sent to fight its battles.

"Ready … Pack … Go"
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
June 17, 2005
"Ready … Pack … Go"
County to Host Emergency Preparedness Training Sessions
for Area Faith Communities
Area faith community leaders are taking the lead to encourage their members to prepare home emergency supply kits this September as part of a countywide, multi-faith campaign. In preparation for the "Ready … Pack … Go" effort, 10 training sessions are scheduled for individual faith community leaders from June 28 to Aug. 25. The American Red Cross will provide a hands-on demonstration of home emergency supply kits, while representatives from Fairfax County's Community Interfaith Liaison Office, Fairfax County Citizen Corps Council and area faith communities will discuss effective ways to promote emergency preparedness to faith communities.
"Education is key to preparing our faith communities for emergencies and disasters," said Sandra Chisholm, Fairfax County's community interfaith liaison. "Faith communities in Fairfax County have taken the leadership role to make this happen through the 'Ready … Pack … Go' campaign. Many more county residents will be prepared with an emergency supply kit as a result of this faith community training effort."
Trainings are scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Faith community leaders may attend any session listed below by calling 703-324-3453, TTY 703-324-7914 or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Interested participants also should contact their faith community to check if a trainer already has been identified for their individual house of worship.

- Aug. 18—Mount Vernon Governmental Center 2511 Parkers Lane , Alexandria
- Aug. 25—West Springfield Governmental Center 6140 Rolling Road, Springfield
The "Ready … Pack … Go" campaign will encourage residents to prepare an emergency supply kit that can be taken to a basement, interior room, public shelter, friend's house or other safe area during an incident. According to an American Red Cross survey released last summer, only 40 percent of Americans assembled the basic supplies needed to take care of themselves, their families and their neighbors during an emergency. This lack of preparedness poses a challenge not only to individuals, but also to first responders, governments and businesses. Houses of worship in Fairfax County are taking a lead to help their members, and ultimately the county, become well prepared.
"Ready … Pack ... Go" is a collaborative effort among Fairfax County's Community Interfaith Liaison Office in the Department of Systems Management for Human Services, Fairfax County Citizen Corps Council, and the county's Office of Public Affairs, Department of Family Services and Office of Emergency Management, in addition to the American Red Cross and participating faith communities.
For more information about the campaign, contact the Fairfax County
Community Interfaith Liaison Office at 703-324-8272, TTY 703-324-7914, or
visit www.fairfaxcountycitizencorps.org.

High standards of ethics are expected in development operations. Individuals need guidelines on ethical conduct from how to deal with conflicts of interest to how to be a whistleblower if they witness wrongdoing. Organisations need policies that regulate integrity in finances, recruitment, discipline and decision-making. Ethics policies are a key part of anti-corruption efforts to build integrity.

Silsden's mayor has heavily criticised a second supermarket bid for the town.
Two weeks ago, Tesco announced plans to build a 20,000 sq ft store in Keighley Road, next to Silsden AFC and close to the proposed site of a new Aldi store.
A consultation event was held last week in Silsden ahead of an application being submitted to Bradford Council later this year.
Mayor, Councillor Chris Atkinson, said the consultation had little detail, and appeared to involve a direct contrast between Tesco and Aldi and what they could offer.
"I think they were just fishing – they were very detrimental about Aldi, but the feeling I got from people there was Tesco would decimate the town," he added.
Meanwhile, Aldi's scheme, made in conjunction with Silsden conveyor and transmissions manufacturer, Habasit, would involve a 1,535 sq m store – about three quarters of the size of the planned Tesco – on land next to Habasit's existing Keighley Road premises.
Habasit hopes to use the money from the sale of the land to modernise its factory and allow it to remain competitive, safeguarding the 80 jobs at the plant.
An application has been submitted to Bradford Council and is due to be decided by its regulatory and appeals committee, at a date to be fixed, a council spokesman this week confirmed.
Coun Atkinson said he had asked for a letter to be written to Bradford Council from Silsden Town Council urging planners to get on with the Aldi application and deal with it as soon as possible.
"An Aldi store would complement what we've already got in Silsden, and it would safeguard the 80 jobs we already have at Habasit," he added.
"I've asked the clerk to write to Bradford asking them to deal with the Aldi application as soon as possible. It seems just because someone has said Tesco, everyone has panicked."
Ward councillor, Adrian Naylor, agreed the consultation event – held by planning consultants Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners (NLP) – had thrown up few additional details, other than the distributed leaflet.
"When I asked about the entry and exit to the site, I was told a traffic survey had not been done yet, and that it would form part of the application itself," he said.
"There were no detailed plans whatsoever, and the indication I got was it would be several months before an application was submitted."
NLP said it was not in a position to comment further at this stage.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
At MSC, Corporate Social Responsibility starts with our moral commitment to help people achieve their goals; both within and outside of MSC. Our founder and Chairman Captain Aponte's philosophy is to take care of his people. People are at the heart of the company and as a business we care not only for them and their futures, but for those of their family too.
Captain Aponte believes strongly in young people and in recognising their potential.
In Sorrento, Italy, we support the largest naval academy in the country, where MSC's founder earned his captain's license.
In a special partnership, we regularly train the academy's teachers so that they can ensure their students receive instruction on the latest technology.
What's more, we also offer those students internships on-board our cargo and cruise ships.
At MSC, both our cargo and cruise divisions strongly support CSR initiatives.
In 2009, for example, MSC started a joint project with UNICEF called 'Get On-board for Children' as part of UNICEF's worldwide programme 'Education for All'.
We believe that all children have a right to a decent life and that the first step on this road is education.
That's why we're supporting UNICEF's efforts to bring access to quality education in some of the most socially disadvantaged areas of Brazil.
Our company and our customers are helping these children combat the effects of poverty and setting them on the path to better lives.
MSC also operates a very important apprenticeship programme, mainly in Santos, Brazil, which involves hiring and mentoring young people.
After a three-year period of training, these recruits can be hired as regular employees.
The key to our commitment to people is that we believe in their potential and we constantly challenge them to grow.
We know just how fast the commercial world is moving and that these increasing demands are met most successfully by people eager to improve their skills.
MSC is committed to supporting this improvement process.
In the USA, for example, we identified the need to put in place a system that would enable us to generate the leaders of tomorrow – so we built the "MSC University".
The university is a dedicated training and development facility designed to help our teams build their skill-sets, prepare them for greater responsibilities and boost their career trajectories.
By enabling people to work more effectively and developing real leadership mentalities, we help ensure they are going to be successful in their lives – whatever they do – both inside and outside of MSC.
Around the world, MSC offices and agencies provide financial support and dedicate their time to improving other peoples' lives.
From teaching sports to poor children in Brazil, to supporting early childhood development programmes in South Africa, to funding air ambulances and cancer charities in the UK.
We've had amazing feedback on these social programmes and activities.
We are particularly proud that our employees share the desire to 'give back' to the community in which they work and live, and to continuously help improve the lives and opportunities of others.
We believe everyone deserves a chance to be the best that they can be, and this principle lies at the heart of our approach to corporate social responsibility.
If you'd like to learn more about MSC's commitment to CSR, please get in touch with your local office.

|Contact Us
Welcome to the Liu lab!
We are interested in signal transduction in developmental biology.
In any intricate developmental process, the encoded genes are interpreted as myriad intercellular and intracellular interactions, all of which must occur at the right time and place. With this in mind, we are developing new methods to block or alter the activities of individual proteins in a drug-dependent manner. Our goal is to expand the repertoire of molecular tools available to developmental biologists. Rather than screen for small molecule-protein interactions we have chosen to use a directed approach to making chemically sensitive protein alleles, in which we use drug-dependent tags to regulate protein stability and localization.
The biological problem that we are interested in is the development of the neural crest and its derivatives, including the craniofacial skeleton. At present, we are developing chemical tools to study the roles of GSK-3 and Wnt signaling in the neural crest. We are using two model systems, the frog Xenopus laevis and the mouse. Xenopus embryos are abundant and live in an aquatic environment, allowing easy manipulation and drug accessibility; thus, we are using Xenopus to study early patterning and to rapidly test new tools. We then adapt these tools to mammalian systems. In the mouse, we are currently studying the development of the bony skull, using conventional and drug-dependent alleles of GSK-3β.

WEST Midlands Police remain top of the Stourbridge and District Snooker League thanks to a 3-2 victory over third placed Norton Social A.
In another high-quality contest, Gavin Sloan gave the Police a great start with a break of 51 to account for Steve Mason, before Rob Pitt levelled matters at 1-1.
Maria Catalano then put the Police back in front again with a 78 break, before Norton came back to level again through Adam Ness.
Kev Franklin took the deciding frame despite Neil Rollinson making a 32 break to keep the Police five points clear of Norton.
Hotshots SC continue to be closest rivals to the Police as they picked up a 4-1 win at Kingswinford RBL.

Amblecote Institute A kept their title hopes alive with a 4-1 success over Netherton Sports and Social where Den Petch proved a most effective super-sub by making it nine wins out of nine with breaks of 42, 32 and 32.
Moor Pool completed the double over Pockets SC with a 3-2 success despite a return to form for Pockets player Rich Pepperall who completed a 63 break, which could have been more.
And Moor Pool also won the battle of the B teams beating Pockets B 4-1 where Simon Dingley and Neil Gennard produced particularly fluent wins.
STOURBRIDGE Institute B have increased their lead at the top of the Division One with a 3-2 success at third-placed Kinver Constitutional A.

A quick history of THE PUNCHINELLO.
Many have wondered over the years about the odd figure climbing the stairs in the Vita logo. I never really knew much of the history either, until Mike McConnell (Vita's founder) told me a few bits about the clown-like fellow, and how he hailed from Naples (a city some call the birthplace of espresso) where the Punchinello seems to have grown out of the Neapolitan puppetry tradition and quickly became a central figure. But he also played a role in real life; where young and passionate individuals would don the characteristic mask, long nose and hat and perform politically incorrect maneuvers after dark.
With a bit of research I learned that the famous trickster and early radical next headed north and was appropriated by the British puppet stage in the form of Punch and Judy – where our hero became a bit more raucous, started wielding a large stick, and did about everything in his power to challenge the puritanical scruples of the day – much to the delight of children across the Queen's fat land
On 17 July 1841 a couple of whip-smart writers (Henry Mayhew and Ebenezer Landells) founded the magazine Punch which enjoyed an insanely long topsy turvy ride finally shuttering operations in 2002. In its heyday Punch could be seen in the honeyed mitts of such writers as Emily Dickinson, Emerson, the Bronte's, Longfellow and even a fellow by the name of Herman Melville (who famously named a coffee company that would eventually spread over the planet like a great beached whale – congrats Melvy!).
Punch always featured the devilish marionette on the cover in some opportunistic mischief – a graphic maneuver that the American rip-off MAD magazine happily co-opted.
One other great tidbit of history: the editors of Punch were so passionate about the role of the common table that they even installed a lavish banquet room in their editorial offices – exclaiming that the majority of the content in print came from long nights of wine, beast, and doubtless…coffee. Perhaps not a mistake of history that we find Vita sitting down with coffee farmers around the globe and sharing fermented spirit, beast, ideas, stories, and…coffee.
Punch or Punchinello has had a long successful run of popping up here and there and letting his squawk be heard. He represents a bit of humor, a touch of the radical, and always a wallop of important commentary about how life on our planet could be a bit more full and rich. His history is not unlike that of coffee – a bittersweet liquor that has certainly been well involved in societal change, progressive politics, and the importance of sharing ideas. (regardless how they may sting.)

Crack the CodeLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
In an attempt to further protect his secret chicken recipe, Colonel Sanders has locked it away in a safe with a 10-digit password. Unable to resist his crispy fried chicken, you'd like to crack the code. Try your luck using the following information:
All digits from 0 to 9 are used exactly once.
No digit is the same as the position which it occupies in the sequence.
The sum of the 5th and 10th digits is a square number other than 9.
The sum of the 9th and 10th digits is a cube.
The 2nd digit is an even number.
Zero is in the 3rd position.
The sum of the 4th, 6th and 8th digits is a single digit number.
The sum of the 2nd and 5th digits is a triangle number.
Number 8 is 2 spaces away from the number 9 (one in between).
The number 3 is next to the 9 but not the zero.
HintA triangle number is one which can be written with one number on the first line, 2 on the second, 3 on the third etc. Like ten-pin bowling style! (The first of these are 1, 3, 6)

Slow Roasted Tomatoes Kalyn's Way
(How to Make Slow Roasted Tomatoes originally published August 2006, recipe adapted from Alanna's master recipe)
20 Roma type tomatoes (same size tomatoes are best if your garden cooperates)
2 T olive oil, plus a little to oil the pan if you don't have a mister
1 T ground fennel
2 T dried basil
1 T dried oregano
1 T dried majoram
(Any combination of herbs that appeals to you can be used.)
Wash tomatoes, dry, and cut each tomato in half lengthwise, keeping the stem spot in one piece (to grab when peeling the tomatoes later.) Put tomatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil and herbs.
Spray cookie sheet with olive oil mister (or brush very lightly with oil). Arrange tomatoes cut-side down on cookie sheet.
After about 8 hours, start checking tomatoes. They're done when skins puff up and tomatoes are reduced in size by at least half. It's a personal preference as to how dried you like them, and I prefer to cook mine until they look fairly dense, but still a tiny bit juicy.
These tomatoes have an intense tomato flavor that you probably can't get any other way. They can be eaten hot or cold. They freeze wonderfully to use all winter in soups, stews, and pasta sauces.

LEE Molyneux will remain with Accrington Stanley until April after extending his loan deal from Crewe Alexandra.
The midfielder, who celebrates his 25th birthday today, has made five appearances for the club - scoring once - since returning from Gresty Road.
The extension takes Molyneux up to the maximum 93 days permitted under the 'emergency loan' scheme.
"Confidence-wise it's brilliant knowing that the manager and the staff are backing me," he said.
"I've got a good rapport with the fans and they know that I love being at Accrington, they love me being here and over the next few weeks until the end of the season I hope I can score some more goals and keep improving my performances.
"As I said when I first came back it felt like coming home. I feel settled again now. Playing games is the most important thing for me but especially being at Accy with your mates.
"They're not just like team-mates or work colleagues, I've got genuine friends here."

Yankees name Minor League players of year
TAMPA, Fla. -- Outfielder Tyler Austin and right-hander Mark Montgomery were named winners of the Yankees' 2012 Kevin Lawn Award as the club's Minor League "Player of the Year" and "Pitcher of the Year," respectively.
The players received their awards prior to Friday's game against the Marlins. The annual awards are dedicated to Kevin O'Brien Lawn, the son of longtime Yankees vice president and chief of operations Jack Lawn, who passed away in 1999.
Austin, 21, combined to hit .322 with 17 home runs and 80 RBIs in 110 games across four levels last year, leading all Yankees Minor Leaguers in batting average for the second consecutive season, while ranking third in RBIs and fourth in stolen bases (23).
Montgomery, 22, split the season between Class A Tampa and Double-A Trenton, combining to go 7-2 with 15 saves and a 1.54 ERA in 46 appearances, leading all Yankees farmhands in saves.

been a photographer all my life, since i was 12 in 1959, from a family of photographers going back to 1880 in wyoming. yee haa. australia now. oprah's been here. have shot nudes since 1969 all over the world and prefer to only work with amateurs, unashamed exhibitionists and enthusiastic curiosity seekers. i am phototecnically and artistically validated by years at uni, reality-trained by my family and the school of hard knocks, ojt. i love learning, prefer doing. i believe in knowing the rules and understanding how to break them with aplomb and definity. digital sucks but is an inevitability. photoshop is a crutch but if you have an idea for art then it is a painter's brush. soapbox wanker. i see my kind of beauty everywhere but i see truth and fear in the same faces, sometimes an animal that wants to escape. my pictures explore the moment before a smile and diminishes the fake. if you capture the eyes you release the mind and body to the camera. i have weird ideas.

THE first pictures have been released of the planned transformation of the historic vaulted basement in the Market Place shopping centre.
Owners of the complex Moorgarth have applied to transform the Victorian vaults on the bottom floor of the centre into restaurants, bars and shops.
The company has already received permission to build a new nine-screen cinema within the current car park, and operators The Light Cinema was confirmed last month.
Chief executive of Moorgarth, Tim Vaughan, said this next planning application showed their commitment to Bolton town centre.
He said: "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Bolton community and help breathe life back into these historic vaults and enable the population of Bolton and outside to appreciate the delights of Bolton's iconic heritage into the future.
"The addition of family friendly restaurants, licensed bars and, of course, our recently approved nine-screen independently operated cinema in this beautiful building is a fresh and exciting way to create an event-based destination.
"It will operate during the day and night offering people of all ages a place to enjoy some quality time with friends and family in a wonderful environment."
The proposed works include creating direct escalator access into the vaults from the ground floor main entrance from Corporation Street, new scenic glass lifts to all floors and the addition of a range of restaurants at first floor level, in addition to those in the vaults.
A council spokesman said: "We were aware that this phase two application was going to be submitted and we are aware of the excitement that this scheme is generating within Bolton.
"It will now go through the planning process and a decision will be made in due course."

After three-and-a-half-days of intense deliberation, a Trinity County jury Monday opted against a murder conviction sought by prosecutors, instead convicting Claudia Pedreros of involuntary manslaughter in the 2011 drowning of her 2 1/2-year-old daughter Sophia Parker Pedreros in the Trinity River. The 31-year-old McKinleyville resident was also found guilty of two counts of child abuse and a related enhancement.
According to Pedreros' defense attorney, Russell Clanton of Arcata, the jurors also determined Monday evening that Pedreros was insane when she committed the crime for which she was convicted. Clanton said Pedreros will be committed to a state hospital.
"The real big news here is that she was charged with premeditated murder and assault on her child resulting in death. Both of those are 25 years to life. She was acquitted on both," Clanton said. "That's a huge thing for her, just given the factual nature of this case."
Trinity County Deputy District Attorney Adam Grace, who prosecuted the case, could not be reached for comment by the Times-Standard's deadline.
Pedreros and Sophia were reported missing May 20, 2011 by Pedreros' father-in-law Robert Parker Sr., with whom the family shared a home on McKinleyville's Yamaha Court.
Pedreros was found a short time later walking naked and disoriented along Highway 3 in a remote area of Trinity County near Coffee Creek and claimed no knowledge of having a daughter, a husband or of how she wound up some 130 miles from her home. It wasn't until the next day, confronted by investigators after search crews pulled Sophia's body from the Trinity River, that Pedreros admitted to drowning the girl, according to Trinity County sheriff's officials.
During the murder trial, Grace argued that Pedreros, upset with her husband, Robert Parker, and her living situation, decided to commit suicide with her daughter, slapping the child before holding her under the Trinity River's cold waters. FBI Special Agent Peter Jackson, who interviewed Pedreros shortly after her daughter's body was found, testified the interview contained many conflicting statements, including some about the happiness of her marriage.
Clanton argued that the FBI agent took advantage of Pedreros' "bizarre" mental state to coerce a confession.

The San Diego Chargers are taking a long look at free-agent pass rusher Dwight Freeney. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports Freeney is continuing to visit with the team on Thursday after he arrived to take a physical on Wednesday.
The Chargers' strong interest in Freeney comes on the heels of losing second-year first-round pick Melvin Ingram for the season. Ingram suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the team's Tuesday practice. Although 2009 first-rounder Larry English is slated to start in Ingram's place at outside linebacker opposite Jarret Johnson, San Diego needs improved depth on the edge. Freeney, at 33, can be valuable for them as a situational pass rusher.
Freeney, the all-time sack leader for the Indianapolis Colts (107 1/2) as a primary defensive end, played outside linebacker in that team's 3-4 scheme under head coach Chuck Pagano last season. The Chargers' 3-4 defense is coordinated by Pagano's brother, John.
Considering Johnson went from Chuck Pagano's Ravens defense to play for John Pagano last season, there is precedent at the position for Freeney to make a similar move this year.
