Timberwolves 105, Suns 93: A Better Tomorrow
Its a given that this Timberwolves' season has been a bitter disappointment. I always believed that prognosticating before the year even began was foolish; the calculus of variables was just too ornate to ever settle confidently on one outcome. I think its safe to say, though, that the year has become something close to the worst-case-scenario. Yes, Andrei Kirilenko returned to his mid-oughts form–at least until fatigue and injury robbed him of a little of his vivacity–and Ricky Rubio has made incredible strides in his recovery. But Kevin Love's injury, and the plague of injuries to key players that has infected the team all year long, has negated all of that.
Still, it could be so much worse. You could be a Wolves' fan of four years ago, wondering if Randy Wittman could turn things around, hoping that Randy Foye and Rashad McCants could one day justify their lottery status. Remember that? Or even worse: you could be a Phoenix Sun's fan right now. If that were the case, you would have endured a recent 10-game losing streak and a road record of 8-32, not to mention an entire season of Michael Beasley and Wes Johnson. You know what that's like and it's no fun. The "core" of your team would be Goran Dragic, Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley, fine players, to be sure, but nothing to build a team around. Your most recent lottery pick, Kendall Marshall, would look, and play ball, like a member of Das Racist. You would be placing your hopes for the future on the only front office with a claim to being worse on draft day than the Wolves. You would be cheering very hard for PJ Tucker and also for the Morris twins.
You would be cheering for a team that seems to expect itself to lose to the Timberwolves and then, in an act of self-fulfiling prophecy, drops an incredible 28 turnovers, allowing itself to lose by 12 despite shooting over 50% from the floor. You would be the team that allowed the Wolves to dream of a better future, to see the possibilities of what could be. The last time these two teams played, the Wolves came as close as they have all year to fully actualizing their potential. And although this game was not the comprehensive beatdown of a few weeks back, we still got a nice glimpse of this team's ideal proportions.
Specifically, we saw the ideal relationship between Ricky Rubio and J.J. Barea. I've been pretty vocal in my critiques of Barea as a floor general. But the truth is that this is not so much an indictment of Barea as a player as it is of the role he's been forced to fill this season. Because J.J. Barea is not a point guard, he is a bringer of chaos. If a point guard's job is to weave the game into a coherent fabric, Barea's job is to tear great holes in that fabric. In strategic doses, these violent, anarchic bursts can stun a defense and provide your team with surges of inspiration. Just look at his role on the Mavericks' title team. Jason Kidd gave the Mavs' offense an overarching structure and harmony; Barea was the demon who provided the dissonance.
Tonight, we saw how that dynamic might work for the Wolves. When his shot is falling and the opponent must reckon with him as a scorer, Ricky Rubio can be the great organizing principle of the Wolves' offense, the player who gives everything shape and coherence. The formula is pretty simple. We all know that Rubio is a genius-level passer, and that he will find and exploit any sliver of passing lane that the defense grants him. And we are seeing now that as Rubio's knee has gained strength, his ability to attack the basket and get to the free-throw line has improved dramatically. But he is, of course, a terrible shooter; right now, defenses have the luxury of sinking to the basket to prevent dribble penetration and clog passing lanes. Ricky needs to be able to do exactly what he did last night: When the defense grants you wide open 15-footers, get your feet set, rise up nice and strong, give the ball even just a bit of arc, watch that thing go in maybe half the time. (Sounds so easy, right? Until I remember how game situations turn my shooting mechanics into a wobbly hash of splayed feet, drifting elbows and aborted follow-throughs.)
I know that Rubio hit his career high of 24 points and that last night's shooting efficiency is no the norm. And I know that fixing shooting mechanics is a long, arduous business. But if Rubio can force opponents to defend his shot, the combination of Rubio with the ball, Kevin Love popping, Nikola Pekovic rolling to the hoop and a couple of shooters on the wing (I'm looking at you Victor Oladipo) will be effing nasty. Place this within the structure of Adelman's corner sets and you've got yourself a coherent offensive idea. And that is exactly the context within which J.J. Barea can sow serious destruction, as he did last night. Take some deep threes; hit some ridiculous falling reverse layups; attack any slow-footed big unfortunate enough to get in his way. In short, be his freestyling, over-caffeinated self for 15-20 judiciously deployed minutes.
(Also, in this future utopia, we will never again be treated to the spectacle of Luke Ridnour guarding players six inches taller than himself, an arrangement that causes guys like Wes Johnson to appear as if they are viable NBA scorers, even if only for a few minutes.)
In many ways, this game was a typical mid April fatigue-fest between two lottery bound teams. Phoenix defended very much like a team with little to play for. During the first half, the Wolves looked every inch the squad playing its fourth game in five nights. As Zach remarked in the third quarter, "both teams look like they're down by 15." But despite all of that, for the Wolves at least, the game clearly meant something more. Ricky got his career high. The team reached the 30-win mark without Kevin Garnett for the first time in its history. This win also gave them a chance at their first home winning season since 2005-2006. Most importantly, this game and many of their games over the past month, have pointed a way to a better future. A lot can go wrong, to be sure. But for the first time in years it feels like there's a chance that something could go right.
No Responsesso far.
Great post.
Nice post BP. It's nice to see this wolves team competing for wins, instead of "longest losing streak to end the season" (I'm looking at you, Paul Allen … 'You try and sign Batum? Fine, we'll take the LLStEtS belt from you! Booya!'). Ricky is still only ~55 games into his career. Yeah, Ricky went down, KLove punched a wall, and both AK & Pek have had their nagging injuries (without mentioning BRoy or Bud)- but this team sure showed a ton of legit depth… Let our top 4 come back healthy and strong, and play most of a full season together, and I absolutely could see 51-31 instead of 31-51.
Just to see over 30 wins is something that should make Wolves fans happy. All the injury's and people playing out of position and carring loads they normaly aren't asked too, and to still win that many games. It's nice. No longer do I wonder if the wolves will ever be relavent again, I just have to wait until next year to see it. Now we just need Adleman to stay, Love to come back healthy and ready, and Flip to come in and not screw anything up by trying to make it his team. Should be fun next season. Can wait to read posts that talk about how they beat another team, like normal, on their way to the playoffs.
Great post, as always. It helps to give me more hope than I've had entering past offseasons. I don't feel like I need to conjure up reasons for optimism; my (still cautious) good vibes feel much more legitimate this time around. Plus, I love that "hoverboards" is a tag for the article. Kudos for that alone.
As one who has grown extremely tired off JJ's game, I'll note that I'd be perfectly happy with him in the role you just described. His frenetic energy in the 3rd/early 4th was great. What is frustrating is Adelman's affinity for playing him down the stretch in this scenario. Once we had a 6-10ish pt lead and clearly controlled the game, it was time for Rubio to handle the rock, and someone else in at the 2 (Budinger, Ridnour, Shved). But there was JJ racing up the court when there was absolutely no need, turning the ball over a couple times (5:39, 4:26, 3:01 – http://espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=400278913&period=4). I know Adelman likes a gamer, but he also likes smart basketball. It confuses me to no end that JJ remained in after repeated boneheaded plays.
"(I'm looking at you Victor Oladipo)"
Aren't we all? were sitting at number 9 in the draft and I am fine with that. I have been outspoken about my desire to win over lottery position. As Eric mentioned above just to see 30 wins is an achievement, They even have a shot ( a small one) to end their season with a winning home record. It's a baby step and I guess one we should have expected (none of us saw this injury thing coming) but it is a step in the right direction regardless.
I have to believe or at least need to hope that a top 10 pick a late round number 1 and Derrick Williams can get us a real shot at drafting Victor Oladipo. It's not that I have anything against Derrick, it's just that with Love and DC we have PF covered and if AK and Budinger come back we have SF covered and we have NOBODY at SG (all due respect Alexi).
I have followed this team a long time and I honestly cannot tell you when we had a legitimate SG on this team (All due respect Brandon I mean one who can still play). if we can sign all of our guys we do have a lot of assets to use to get that missing piece that we have ignored for too long.
Sadly, with Marcus Smart going back to OSU next year, the Wolves' chances at getting Oladipo without making a trade are very bad. It's probably a more likely result that the ping pong balls bounce their way and they finish in the top three than Oladipo lasting until their slot, and looking at history, we all know how unlikely that is.
I hope Derrick Williams and their pick isn't how this works out, because to trade that package just to get the #4 or 5 pick is a major fleece job, as far as I'm concerned.
The problem is that with the draft, it's always something of a crapshoot, even if they end up getting the #1 overall. You're still trading a fairly known commodity, and an unknown in that lower pick, for the unknown of the higher pick. I mean, there's certainly no assurance that McLemore or Oladipo isn't going to come into the league and completely suck, and for that you've quite possibly given away, if not a solid starter, at least a solid 6th/7th man, and a possible contributor in their own pick (I loathe the whole "We could have had Curry instead of Flynn" hindsight, but this sort of thing happens and WILL happen if they trade up for Oladipo, who pans out badly, and Williams and Gary Harris, let's say, flourish somewhere else). Also remember that DW was considered the consensus "Can't miss" pick of his draft, even over Irving, and after just two years you're willing to give up on him.
So I'd be pretty leery of making that move. Really, the best thing to do would be to convince Stern that maybe a successful team in Minnesota wouldn't be a bad thing and have him rig the lottery so they'd be in the top 3, but I kid.

A brush fire that has burned at least 822 acres was started by two illegal immigrants who were in distress, according to Cal Fire officials.
"They called C4, which is Mexico's emergency dispatch system and advised them that they had been lost for two days, were stranded, dehydrated, and were going to light a signal fire to attempt to get some help," said Cal Fire spokesperson Roxanne Provaznik.
Border Patrol agents worked with Cal Fire to look for the individuals, but were unsuccessful.
"There was evidence near the area of origin, of illegal aliens traveling through that area, which supports this report," said Provaznik.
A spokesperson from Cal Fire said it's frustrating to know the blaze could have been prevented, but now they're just focused on putting it out.
"We have a significant amount of manpower that was put towards this fire and they have done a great job. Were they thinking of this when they were concerned with their lives? probably not," said Tom Piranio.
The fire was sparked early on Thursday afternoon between Campo and Potrero. It is 65 percent contained.
More than 1,300 firefighters were fighting the fire. Ten aircraft were also helping battle the blaze, officials said, including a new helo-tanker.
The San Diego Gas & Electric aircraft known as the Sunbird was used for the first time in the county on Friday. The tanker is capable of dropping 2,500 gallons of water at a time. It could be seen on Friday scooping up water from a pond located on private property in Potrero, then dropping its load nearby on the fire.
Meanwhile, back at the command center at a nearby park, a high-tech Internet-based system was being tested to help map the fire and monitor crews. The system was created by MIT engineers, who monitored the fire back in Boston. Field crews are fitted with GPS devices, and with a click of a mouse, officials were able to locate and direct crews.
The system was also used to help map the exact location of the fire.
"It's looking better, but we still don't want to let our guard down," Battalion Chief Ray Chaney said Friday afternoon. "We still have some fire out there that poses a threat, so we're being very aggressive in the way we treat this fire. Hopefully by tonight, we'll feel a lot more comfortable. But we're not there yet."
Full containment is expected Sunday.
While no structures are threatened by the Cowboy Fire, two firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.


text: Large Retailers In D.C. Write Letter To Mayor Gray Encouraging Veto Of Bill 7/17/2013 7:22 PM ET Executives from six national retailers signed a letter to Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray, asking him to reject and veto the "living wage" bill that was passed by the D.C. Council last week.The Washington Post reports that the letter was signed by executives from Home Depot, Target, AutoZone, Lowe's, Walgreens and Macy's - who all feel that the bill is "misguided" and "unfairly discriminatory" and saying it "does nothing to address the proposed goal of improving job quality and opportunity in the District.""Arbitrary conditions that subject our stores to rules that other employers, including countless competitors, are not equally subjected to unfairly distort the marketplace and are cause for grave concern," wrote the executives in the letter.While the minimum wage in Washington, D.C. is $8.25 an hour, the living wage bill calls for companies that reach corporate sales of $1 billion or more operating within the district in stores of at least 75,000 square feet to pay their workers wages and benefits of at least $12.50 an hour.Wal-Mart, which has plans to open stores in the city limits, has said that if the bill is not vetoed, it will pull out of their plans to open more stores in the city. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News 6 Pharma Stocks In News Highway Robbery: 10 States With Highest Sales Tax 10 States With The Lowest Sales Tax

New Health Insurance Marketplace FAQ
What is the "Exchange" or "Marketplace" that I've been hearing about?
The Exchange/Marketplace is a new health insurance marketplace in each state. The Marketplaces are established under the Healthcare Reform Act that was passed in 2010. The Marketplace is an on-line site where individuals and smaller employers may go to purchase health insurance coverage for 2014.
Why is the Marketplace being established?
Under federal law, beginning January 1, 2014 individuals will be required to have minimum essential health coverage, or else be subject to a penalty. This is referred to as the "individual mandate." The Marketplace is intended to help individuals meet the individual mandate requirement by providing another place to purchase coverage, and possibly qualify for federal assistance to do so.
Do I have to purchase health coverage through the Marketplace?
No. You may still obtain health coverage from other sources if you are eligible. To avoid the individual mandate penalty, you will want to confirm that the coverage you obtain provides "minimum essential coverage" under the rules.
What are some possible other sources of coverage?
Your employer, your spouse's employer, Medicare (if eligible in your state), the individual market, etc.
What if I am covered under my employer's plan? Can I keep it?
Yes. Most employer plans will qualify as the coverage required under the individual mandate requirements. You do not need to purchase coverage through the Marketplace in order to avoid the individual mandate penalty. You may, if you would like, however.
Can I drop myself or my dependents from my group plan to purchase a plan through the Marketplace or outside of the Marketplace?
Maybe yes. Maybe no. Employers and Marketplaces have very specific rules around enrollment and disenrollment. In general, both have an annual open enrollment period (which will usually be different) and permit special enrollments during the year based on events such as marriage or birth of a child. Although these rules are similar, they are not identical. In addition, determining when you can change an election outside the annual open enrollment period will be determined by IRS regulations and the terms of the group health plan. Generally, employees may not change an election unless the employee experiences a change in status permitted by the IRS and allowed by the group health plan.
How do I know if I qualify for assistance to purchase my coverage through the Marketplace?
Individuals who are not offered qualifying healthcare coverage through their employer may be eligible for government subsidies to help pay for health insurance premiums for plans purchased in the Marketplaces (based on income level and how many dependents you have). Generally, household income must be below 400% of the federal poverty level (which in 2013 is about $46,000 for an individual, or about $78,000 for a family of three), in addition to some other rules, in order to qualify. Whether you qualify will depend on what kind of coverage your employer offers. If your job-based coverage is considered affordable and meets minimum value requirements, you won't be able to get lower costs on premiums or out-of-pocket costs in the Marketplace. This is true no matter what your income and family size are. As state Marketplace sites are launched over the next months, you will be able to get details about a possible subsidy.
Will my employer subsidize my health coverage if I purchase it through the Marketplace?
Employers are not required to help you pay for coverage that you purchase through the Marketplace. With most employer-provided plans, the employer pays a portion of the premium cost. You should consider this when making decisions about where to obtain your health coverage.
Will I be able to see my same doctor if I purchase coverage through the Marketplace instead of at work?
Maybe yes. Maybe no. Insurance purchased through the Marketplace may have different provider networks.
When will the Marketplace in my state be open for business?
Open enrollment in the Marketplaces is scheduled to begin October 1, 2013, with coverage to generally become effective January 1, 2014. Please refer to the Marketplace in your state for further information.
Do I have to enroll by January 1, 2014 in order to get coverage through the Marketplace?
No. In this first year of Marketplace coverage, you may enroll until March 31, 2014. But if you enroll after December 15th of this year, your coverage will have an effective date that is later than January 1, 2014. To avoid not having coverage beginning January 1, 2014, and potentially incurring a penalty, you should enroll by December 15, 2013 if you wish to satisfy the individual mandate with coverage obtained through the Marketplace.
Will my employer's health benefits program be available for purchase through the Marketplace?
Possibly, if your employer is considered to be a small employer under the rules, and has chosen to purchase its program for employees through the Marketplace. Generally, employers with over 100 employees, or in some states 50 employees, may not purchase their programs for employees through the Marketplace yet. Employers of any size may offer coverage through regular channels, however, just as they do today.

hard inquiries
I know for a fact that hard inquiries stay on your credit report for exactly 25 months from the date they were made. There isnt any way to get them removed, however I can tell you from my own personal experience I recently sat down with a mortgage loan officer at Wells Fargo and I was inquiring about a mortgage to purchase a beach condo in Hampton Beach, NH. The loan officer explained to me that as far as they (Wells Fargo) are concerned any inquiries that are older than 6 months they dont care about anything within the six months then they look closer. So if you are looking to secure a mortgage try and do all the inquiries within the same week or so. That way when another lender sees them they can understand it was because you were obviously shopping for a good mortgage loan. They understand and expect to see these inquiries when someone needs a mortgage for a home. hope this helps, best wishes.

The BuildColor method starts a user interface for selecting a color value.
The ColorBuilder class is not intended for use outside of the design time environment. ColorBuilder requires the IWebFormsBuilderUIService, which is typically available within a Web Forms project at design time. If you want to build HTML color strings, you may want to implement a method that converts the RGB values of a Color object to an HTML-compatible RRGGBB format string. If you intend to use a control to select a color or configure a color, you can build a user interface for this, or you may want to use a PropertyGrid control which allows you to edit Color properties with the default ColorEditor providing a color selection interface.

Friend of Doug digs deep against SoccerCity
Mission Valley developers pour cash into San Diego State measure
Matt Potter 6 p.m., Nov. 21
It may or may not be hotter than hell. But, it is hotter than it has ever been in San Diego, according to
meteorologist, Brandt Maxwell, of San Diego's National Weather Service office, and a Record Event Report from their website.
Since 1979 when the National Weather Service began documenting temperatures in "America's Finest City," many records have been reset during this heat wave.
October 1, 2012 set a new record for El Cajon. It was 103 degrees. Since they began recording, the highest recorded temperature was 101 degrees in 1991.
So I started thinking...
It was 1:35 on Tuesday afternoon. I was standing at Pump 13 of the Chevron station off CA-52's Convoy Street exit. On the other side of the island was a work truck with two men dressed in long sleeved uniform. To the other side of me were three utility trucks, unrelated but lined up.
Work did not stop.
People still get a paycheck to help keep San Diego the beautiful place that draws in visitors from all around the world.
Off I ventured to La Jolla Shores to see how many lucky people there were who could enjoy the afternoon. And it's free. We are free to be a part of the ocean.
Could this freedom be the reason people take our beaches for granted? Who would have thought we would need signs to remind visitors they need to take with them whatever they brought in?
Please respect our beaches, parks and earth.

[1]The leader of rap's Terror Squad has proven no match for the long arm of the Internal Revenue Service[2].
Joseph Cartegena, who performed under the rapper name Fat Joe, is facing up to two years in jail and $700,000 in fines after pleading guilty to tax evasion in a New Jersey federal court, MTV notes.
The government charged Fat Joe for failing to pay taxes on $3 million in income from 2007 and 2008.
Best known for his time as part of the hip-hop group called the Terror Squad, which he launched with his 1998 album, Don Cartegena, Fat Joe has collaborated with other prominent musicians including Kayne West and Chris Brown.
Fat Joe was released after posting $250,000 in bail. He'll appear before the court for sentencing in early April. His attorneys say he's working to resolve the tax problem.

I am Irina a 24 year old dentist gone blogger and live in Bergen, Norway.
About a year or so ago.
DW__How did you come up with the idea?
I always wanted a career in fashion and blogging just made sence. I discovered my love for photography and just kept going.
My blog is very much about how high end clothes work in my non-fashion everyday, about the pieces I covet and the trends I predict will keep it big for upcoming season. It's also about uniqness and doing something in a way that differs from others.
For me the fashion is just a visible extension of designers imagination and creativity. However, although the garments and fashion can come and go, at the end the way we put those together is what is improtant, or at least for me.I think that either person is conscious or unconscious of the importance of fashion,I consider it as a way to communicate and express youself.
I find that entertaining and ultimately amusing.
DW__According to you, what is the most significant period for women's fashion?
Right here and now, or rather last 5ish years. The fashion has evolved at such high rate and so fast, that the possibilites seem endless in count. However I regard Mcqueen PLato Atlantis collection to hav started the reign of prints era.
DW__What do you think about the influence of fashion bloggers in the fashion world?
I think that the bloggers make high end garments and ideas more down-to-earth, as thet interprate trends in a more approachable way- for the world wide, non-fashion jinkie audience. The influence and reach is beyonde what anyone could have estimated.
No, even bloggers need insirationa and direction points from somewhere. There is a big difference between editors and bloggers and I don not consider these as mutualy exclusve. The first have tremendous knwledge about everything happening on the fashion scene, the second are more specialized on certain styles, designers etc..
DW__Indispensable items?
Point pumps from Louboutin.
More or less everywhere, but when it comes to fashion inspo I go directly to the designers and their vision and styling.I find that to be the purest source of inspiration as it is always fresh and new. On the other side cool people especially women can be a tremendous inspiration and ideas.
DW__What is your greatest inspiration?
People, they intrigue me.
DW__How important is it for you to look your best and why?
Well, for the first it is kind of my job as a blogger, however my style is comfortable ad simple so I am often statisfied with just looking good- Looking my best all the time would be too exausting, job or not.
DW__Who would qualify to be an icon?
Someone who has set the borders of style in one direction for the first time- a person who does somthing that nobody before her has done it.
Like Carine Roitfeld and Taylor Tomasi Hill
DW__Your ideal female or male would have what style? what would he/she be wearing?
Not sure how to answer, I consider the way I dress to be guided by my thoughts on ideal women, so. When it comes to men, well, simple yet with a few polished pieces as a good way to go. I love the way my finace dresses.
Easy-Givenchy Obsedia
Everlasting, everchanging and expensiveDW__Websites? blogs? other links?
I stick to magazines and a handful of bloggers. Hanneli, Elink Kling, all Vogue sites (thank God for the 'translate' button), Style.com
DW__One last/final word?
Take care!

Ospreys coach Jonathan Humphreys has revealed the region have contacted ERC referees chief Donal Courtney following their Heineken Cup defeat to Leicester Tigers.
The region feel young prop Ryan Bevington was "singled out" by referee Romain Poite in the 39-22 loss and have asked Courtney for clarification about the issues in the scrum.
Former international referee Courtney is the ERC's match officials performance manager and is tasked with raising the standard of refereeing in European competitions.
Bevington was sent to the sin-bin in the 34th minute of the game at Welford Road for repeatedly going to the floor against the Tigers and eventually had to be replaced by Duncan Jones.
The yellow card helped swing the game back in Leicester's favour after an excellent opening half hour from the Ospreys.
"It was really disappointing," admitted Humphreys. "I've sent off some clips to Don Courtney just to get some clarification on what those issues were.
"Firstly, Ryan was playing extremely well, so it was really disappointing that we had to pull him off as I felt he was going to get red-carded.
"We saw a penalty swing of five-four scrum-time, Leicester getting five and ourselves getting four, yet Ryan was singled out and yellow-carded.
"I need clarification on why that was the case. I couldn't see why he was penalised. I had to pull him off to protect him, which was disappointing because he was playing well at the time."
Humphreys has backed the young Ospreys prop to bounce back from the experience ahead of this weekend's Pro12 game against Connacht at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday night.
Asked whether it was a traumatic experience for the 23-year-old prop, Humphreys replied: "Yes, I suppose it would be for the kid. He's still quite a young player.
"He had a turnover scrum for being very dominant and a couple of others where he was also in the ascendancy. So, yes, it will be pretty confusing for the kid.
"But he will bounce back from this. I have no issues with how he was scrummaging at the time. I have no issues with what he was trying to do.
"Outside that, we need to look at a few little things to get better.
"But, as far as Ryan's concerned, I have every faith in him and his ability to keep progressing."

Tempe Colors its Bike Lanes
"But as bicyclists complain that drivers aren't paying attention, cities have gotten very bold with paint - slathering over the entire lane with green, blue or red."
"The eye-catching lanes have popped up in Europe, but Tempe has become one of the first Valley communities to give brightly colored lanes a try."
"Tempe has painted bike lanes at two intersections to see how it works. The color of choice: red."
"Tempe spent $3,600 to test the material at two places where drivers too often veered into lanes reserved for bicyclists, said Amanda Nelson, a Tempe transit spokeswoman."
"This will further define who belongs where,' Nelson said."
"The intersections are also on some of the city's most traveled bicycle routes."

Sticks and Stones Tour
New Found Glory
Cartel, State Champs
Ventura Theater
26 S. Chestnut St.
Ventura, CA, 93001
Doors 6:30 PM / Show 7:30 PM
This event is all ages
The anticipated new album Radiosurgery from pop punk heroes New Found Glory is set to arrive in stores October 4th via Epitaph Records. Fans can preorder the album now by going to the Epitaph Store.
The first single from the album, title track "Radiosurgery" is currently available for download at iTunes.
The album Radiosurgery continues the band's high energy musical journey while simultaneously paying homage to the bands that inspired them to first pick up instruments as teenagers back in Coral Springs Florida.
"Our music is constantly evolving and changing and when this band puts out an album we always try to offer something different," explains guitarist Chad Gilbert. "With this disc we wanted to go back to the music that got us into punk and incorporate influences from those albums."
For this latest venture, New Found Glory was aided by a trusted producer Neal Avron, who worked with the band on Catalyst in 2004, and has honed his chops in the interim with artists like Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park. The resulting songs sound undeniably like New Found Glory but they also have a timeless punk feel that will appeal to both diehard fans as well as new converts.
"This album is a culmination of all of our albums put together and in a lot of ways we feel like a new band when we're playing these songs because they're so energized and they affirm the fact that we're going to be a band for a long time," summarizes guitarist Steve Klein. "In a lot of ways it feels like we're just getting started."
The band also announced its Fall Headline Tour entitled Pop Punk's Not Dead, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. Tour pre-sale begins today and fans can get tickets at reduced fees along with special ticket/album bundle packages by going to: http://newfoundglory.ducatking.com.
Cartel sees themselves as minstrels of their day, offering songs about life and love that have always captured the human soul. Issuing a challenge to their cohorts, Will Pugh calls out "pop punk today isn't going anywhere--let's make some moves." With their new album Chroma, Cartel definitely makes some big moves in the right direction.
Having toured across the U.S. multiple times, with a widely enjoyed, self-released EP Cartel quickly garnered a devoted and noticeably growing fan base with a reputation for being one of the most fun, genuine, talented bands around. When Alternative Press compiled their 2005 list of "Bands You Need to Know," you bet your boots that Cartel was on that list. The band's Ransom EP was a hit with fans everywhere, and what the band has achieved with Chroma is the result of hard work, intuition, and great synergy between old friends. Cartel has only been a band for a few short years, but the band's members have known each other for well over a decade.
This record sounds like an inspired band who are unafraid to be inquisitive in their song craft and recording. It doesn't stray far from their true sound, but at the very same time soars much higher and drags along with it noticeable influences from the band's love for bands their parents listened to. In the song "Answer," Pugh found out where a lot of his inspiration came from and tips his hat to Brian Wilson. Chroma reflects the band's ability and desire to write timeless songs with genuine subject matter and classic nature in the modern world of the benign and cold. The band attempts to take a step into the same ballpark as the staid records of their parent's generation that inspire for generations to come.
While Chroma is not a concept album, the album was built as a cohesive piece. Honestly, "Settle Down" and "If I Fail" are specific examples among many of songs inspired by a common, fervent search for love and truth with beckoning lyrics and a pop tinge. "Settle Down" contains the darker undertones of the three, and the angst of young love with hope of lessons learned. It's not so much pop-punk anymore for the Atlanta boys, but more pop-rock, now laden with more alt-rock tinges and twists. Where bands in the '60s brought rock 'n' roll out of the drab singles format, Cartel has a new direction and vision for their music, bringing surprise and intrigue. Chroma offers plenty of surprises while remaining culturally relevant and fresh. Cartel has opened their minds to new musical possibilities that challenge their peers to achieve something more. The band brings the best of both worlds in accessibility and artistry. Chroma also reveals Pugh's deep thoughts and philosophical questioning through bright melodies that stay in your head all day long. Their compelling guitar arrangements, driving drums, and youthful energy rival more seasoned artists and naturally invoke attention.
Cartel mesh loud, bombastic guitars with pretty melodies and rock arrangements with an acute sense of pop songwriting. The band started out as a guilty pleasure for many, they who are now demanding more and more. Their album is evidence of a creative connection that transcends the band's relatively short life.

Arkansas airport construction to cause delays
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Construction near the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport is expected to cause traffic delays.
Fayetteville television station KHOG reports (http://bit.ly/1sE2uEf ) the north entrance to the airport out of Bentonville will be reduced to one lane starting at 7 a.m. Monday.
The construction is expected to add about 5 to 10 minutes to the drive from Bentonville to the airport. It is scheduled for completion on Aug. 25.
An airport administrator says the area is prone to flooding. Airport officials hope to make the roadway more reliable during heavy rains.

A plague upon them! wherefore should I curse them?
Would curses kill, as doth the mandrake's groan,
I would invent as bitter searching terms,
As curst, as harsh, and horrible to hear,
Deliver'd strongly through my fixed teeth,
With full as many signs of deadly hate,
As lean-fac'd Envy in her loathsome cave.
My tongue should stumble in mine earnest words,
Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten flint,
Mine hair be fix'd an end, as one distract;
Ay, every joint should seem to curse and ban;
And even now my burden'd heart would break,
Should I not curse them. Poison be their drink!
Gall, worse than gall, the daintiest that they taste!
Their sweetest shade a grove of cypress trees!
Their chiefest prospect murd'ring basilisks!
Their softest touch as smart as lizards' stings!
Their music frightful as the serpent's hiss,
And boding screech-owls make the consort full!
All the foul terrors in dark-seated hell—

Tempermental theater impressario Oscar Jaffe changes the name of his newest discovery, former lingerie model Mildred Plotka, to Lily Garland, and begins rehearsing his latest play. Oscar drives Lily hard in rehearsal, bullying her and even stabbing her with a pin to induce her to scream properly. His harsh tactics pay off, however, and Lily is a smash. On her opening night, Oscar humbly bids her farewell, saying that a true star belongs to no man. The insecure Lily falls for his act and begs him to stay with her. Thus begins their professional partnership, which breeds three tremendously successful plays in as many years as well as a tempestuous personal relationship. Lily, driven to distraction by Oscar's egotism and jealous possessiveness, wants to end their relationship, but collapses in tears after a fight in which he fakes a suicide attempt. The next morning, the repentant Oscar swears to her that he trusts her completely, but after she leaves for rehearsal, he calls a detective, Oscar McGonigle, and orders him to put Lily under surveillance, including reading her mail and tapping her phone. Time passes until, one afternoon, Lily does not attend rehearsal. Oliver Webb, Oscar's business manager, reports this to Oscar and tells him that he has asked a friend to trace the interference on Lily's phone line. While Oscar reacts hysterically, a battered and bruised McGonigle rushes in to report that Lily attacked him after discovering the phone tap and that she has taken a train to Hollywood, leaving Oscar and New York for good. Oscar almost suffers a nervous breakdown but recovers and attempts to build another unknown actress the way he did Lily. She does not possess Lily's magic, however, and Oscar's productions flop one by one. After a devastating failure in Chicago, Oscar, Oliver and Owen O'Malley, Oscar's press agent, narrowly avoid the sheriff and board the Twentieth Century train bound for New York. Oliver warns Oscar that his creditors are going to take away the Jaffe Theatre. Soon after, Owen discovers that Lily, whose great Hollywood success has turned her into a tempermental eccentric of Oscar's caliber, is on the train with her young boyfriend, George Smith. Owen and Oliver discuss asking Lily to return to Oscar in order to save the theater, and despite Oliver's trepidations, they go to her and hand her a sob story about Oscar's woes. George becomes jealous and throws them out for upsetting Lily, who refuses to work with Oscar again. Oscar is pleased when told later that Lily is on the train but becomes dismayed when he sees George kissing her. While Oscar plots against George, the conductors apprehend Matthew J. Clark, an odd little man who has been placing "Repent Now" stickers on the train and its passengers. The conductors have received a wire from Clark's nephew stating that Clark, while harmless, is a lunatic who writes bad checks. Meanwhile, Oscar meets two European actors who are the stars of the Passion Play, and decides to produce the play in New York with Lily starring as Mary Magdalene. Oliver searches to find a backer for Oscar's Passion Play and comes up with Clark, who agrees to invest his pretended wealth. Meanwhile, Lily asks George to elope, but he rejects her and storms out after Oscar comes in and tells him that he was once Lily's lover. Contented that he has now gotten rid of George, Oscar proceeds to woo Lily by describing the role of Mary Magdalene. She is not taken in by his extravagant musings, however, and tells him that she is going to New York to sign with Max Jacobs, Oscar's former stage manager who is now a successful producer. Lily throws Oscar out, but he becomes optimistic again when Clark presents him with a check for $250,000. Soon after, everyone concerned finds out the truth about Clark, and Lily and Oscar try to outdo each other with their histrionic fits. Later that night, Oscar yet again plays at suicide in front of Oliver and Owen. They leave in disgust but rush back after hearing a gun shot, the result of a struggle between Clark and Oscar for the gun. Oscar receives only a slight flesh wound, but, with Owen and Oliver's help, uses it as a ploy to convince Lily that he is dying. Lily, who truly loves the rascal, agrees to sign Oscar's contract, with which he wishes to be buried. Oscar revives immediately and, at their first rehearsal of their new play, he treats her exactly as he had years earlier.

Brachiaria dictyoneura (Fig. & De Not.) Stapf
|Author: L.t Mannetje
Common names
Origin and geographic distribution
The origin and natural distribution of B. dictyoneura is eastern and southern Africa. It has been introduced to many tropical countries, but is mainly cultivated in tropical America.
A densely tufted, semi-erect, stoloniferous perennial with short rhizomes; stems 40-120
cm high; stolons slender but strong and of reddish colour. Leaf linear to lanceolate, 4-40
cm x 3-18 mm, glabrous and with strongly denticulate margins. Inflorescence consisting of
3-8 racemes on an axis 5-25 cm long; racemes 1-8 cm
B. dictyoneura is used as forage in grazed permanent pastures in humid tropical regions. It has potential for erosion control and also as ground cover in tree plantations. The cultivar 'Llanero' was released in Colombia in 1987.
The nutritive value of B. dictyoneura is regarded as moderate, yet higher than that of B. humidicola. Nitrogen concentrations range mostly between 1-2% but can be as low as 0.5% during the dry season. The range for in vitro DM digestibility is 55-70% (Carulla et al. 1991). There are about 170 seeds/g.
None reported
B. dictyoneura is well adapted to the humid and sub-humid tropics at altitudes up to 1800 m above sea level and annual rainfall between 1500 and 3500 mm; it withstands dry periods of up to 4-5 months.
Soil requirements
It grows well on a wide range of well-drained soils, including acid and highly Al-saturated ones of low fertility. B. dictyoneura responds well to fertilization, particularly with N.
Propagation and planting
B. dictyoneura is preferably propagated by seed at 2-12 kg/ha, depending on seed quality; it can be propagated vegetatively. Germination of fresh seed can be very poor because of dormancy, mainly physiological. Scarification with sulphuric acid improves germination only slightly; therefore, it is recommended to use seed that is 6-8 months old. It can be grown with a range of legumes of varying growth habits, such as Desmodium heterocarpon ssp. ovalifolium (prostrate-stoloniferous), Centrosema pubescens or Pueraria phaseoloides (trailing-climbing), Stylosanthes guianensis (semi-erect herb/sub-shrub), and Leucaena leucocephala (shrub/tree). B. dictyoneura should be leniently grazed until it is fully established (Schulze-Kraft 1992).
Growth and development
B. dictyoneura has a slow initial growth. Flowering seems to be long-day induced and seed setting improves at higher latitudes. Cv. Llanero reaches maximum flowering in the Llanos Orientales of Colombia in June-July; its reproduction is apomictic.
Diseases and pests
B. dictyoneura is amongst the Brachiaria spp. least affected by spittlebug (species of the genera Aeneolamia, Deois, and Zulia in the Cercopidae family) and it recovers quickly after an attack (Ferrufino and Lapointe 1989). It is moderately resistant to foliar blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kelemu et al. 1995)
Depending on growth conditions, including the severity of the dry season, B. dictyoneura produces DM yields ranging from 4-11 t/ha per year on acid, low-fertility soils. It can be grazed continuously or rotationally at stocking rates between 2-4 steers/ha, with seasonal adjustments as necessary. The grass should be grazed down to 15-20 cm height. Pure seed yields of up to 280 kg/ha have been obtained in Costa Rica (Diulgheroff et al. 1990). However, Cardozo et al. (1991) reported yields of 87, 49 and 29 kg/ha for manual, combine and "beater" harvesting, respectively, from Caramagua in Colombia. Acceptability by grazing animals of B. dictyoneura was lower than that of Andropogon gayanus, Panicum maximum cv. Makueni and Setaria sphacelata (Botrel et al. 1987). Daily liveweight gains of 250-500 g/steer have been recorded. Compared with other Brachiaria species adapted to acid, low-fertility soils, B. dictyoneura has the advantages of being less affected by spittlebug than B. decumbens and of better forage quality and better compatibility with legumes than B. humidicola. For these reasons, it has excellent potential for pasture development in humid tropical acid-soil regions.

One question is how to get some kind of "do" notation that would work well in a strict setting. The existing "do" notation makes use of lazyness in so far as the second arg of >> is only evaluated when needed. Perhaps a new keyword such as "go" could be used to use >>= instead ie: go {e1;e2;e3} === e1 >>= (\_-> (e2 >>= (\_->e3))) Of course this doesn't solve the problem of how to translate programs that make heavy use of mapM etc. I wonder: is monadic programming really dependent on lazyness or is there a realistic (ie not impossibly complicated) way to use monads in a strict setting? A related question is: could monadic programming ever be as efficient as side-effect programming? Regards, Brian.

Hosanna, He is Risen
This is always one of the hardest weeks to understand for Christians. We are taken to the scene of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, his pathway strewn with palm fronds. His arrival was greeted by happy worshipers singing "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord."
We sing our own hymns of praise on Palm Sunday knowing all the while that this acclaim will not last. We have read in Scripture the events of the coming days. Spy Wednesday it was once called. The middle of the week is a time of betrayal. Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve whom Jesus Himself had chosen, will turn against his Lord. Judas will greet Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane with the kiss of death. We proceed through this Holy Week with foreknowledge of the bitter innocent sufferings to come. Jesus the unblemished lamb will be turned over to the High Priest and then to the Roman Governor. He will be tried and convicted of false charges.
He will be scourged and then made to carry His cross to Golgotha, the Place of the Skull. He will be numbered among the transgressors, though He was Himself without sin. When He is crucified and takes upon Himself the sins of the world, he feels abandoned. "Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani!" He cries out. "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken me?" Never before in His life has Jesus felt so separated, so cast apart from His own immortal being. But it must be. It is God's own plan to save the world, to save us from our sin.
For a century and a half, people in the Western world have been taught that God is dead. And many of our greatest institutions of higher learning proceed on the assumption that God is dead. In science, philosophy, literature, economics, and history, some of the greatest minds in the richest nations of the world have thought and written and taught as if God is dead.
They don't always say it in so many words. They don't have to spell it out. "The Cosmos is all there is, all there was, and all there ever will be," said one popular scientist in a much-heralded PBS television science series.
This idea is behind all other ideas held in common by many of our elites on both sides of the Atlantic. Among prestige journalists, those who presume to tell us nightly "the way it is," 91 percent never attend a worship service of any kind.
Lord Bertrand Russell spoke for these cultured despisers of religion when he wrote:
That man is the product of causes, which had no provision of the end they were achieving. That his origin, his growth, his hopes, his fears, his loves and his beliefs are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms. That no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling can preserve an individual life beyond the grave. That all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noon-day brightness of human genius is destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system and that the whole temple of man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a Universe in ruins. All these things if not quite beyond dispute are yet so nearly certain that no philosophy that rejects them can hope to stand. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul's salvation henceforth be safely built.
It should not surprise us that such nihilism is rejected by most of the peoples in the Third World. There, even as they are subjected to the cruelest of persecution, perhaps even because our brothers and sisters are daily being murdered with Jesus, the faith is flourishing. The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church. Jihadists and dictators crucify our brethren for the same reason that Pontius Pilate decided to condemn an innocent man: To preserve the power of pitiless rulers.
Here in America, we face unprecedented challenges. We see the bedrock institutions of our country -- our Constitution, our Liberties, our families, our churches and synagogues, our schools, businesses, and workplaces under attack. These attacks come not from hostile foreign powers (although they are menacing anew), but even from agents of our own government.
"You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above," Jesus boldly told His accuser. He fully understood that the man to whom He spoke had the power to put him to death.
But Jesus also knew the One who had the power to put him to life. It is the same One who has the power to give life to each one of us, eternal life. It is for that reason that we look this week at the Cross and beyond the Cross. It is for that reason that we are filled with a full realization of the mortal dangers and of the immortal Promise. How fitting that this Good News comes to us now. As was told us five hundred years ago: Our Lord has Written the Promise of the Resurrection not in Books alone but in every leaf in Springtime.
