From this year's NCAA small forwards list:
Dawson is a power forward in a shooting guard's body, which of course makes him a small forward by default. He is undersized but explosive, and capable of defending inside and outside. Capable in various matchups, Dawson can match up at the two, three and four positions, and is a physical specimen, combining athleticism with strength and a wide, wide frame.
Normally defending the post, Dawson gets by on defense despite the height disadvantage with this strength and with great discipline. He might be smaller than most opponents, but he is almost always stronger and more athletic than they are, and his long arms help make up for some of the difference. Dawson grabs tough rebounds and is measured in his aggression, and has good anticipatory skills and positional awareness. This does not negate the size disadvantage, but it surely helps a lot.
Offensively, Dawson has developed a little bit of a mid-range shot, but it's not pleasant looking, and he has absolutely no three point range at the moment. With little handle to speak of either, Dawson is entirely a finisher and not a creator, not even down low in the post. Rarely getting to the line (and shooting dreadfully when he does), Dawson is an opportunistic offensive player who gets by through transition, cuts, offensive rebounds and hustle. Yet when he does get such a look, he tears the rim off. This is pretty much all he does on offense, but it's both fun and useful.
Dawson, then, is limited to only a couple of areas of the game, but is extremely effective within them. If he can spot up a bit and keep the energy up, he could stick in the league for a while.
Diante Garrett
Garrett spent last season in the D-League, trying to make it back to the NBA in which he had spent the bulk of the previous two seasons. He started with the Iowa Energy and averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 36.5 minutes per game, then was traded to the Grand Rapids Drive in exchange for Willie Reed, and averaged 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per game there. Garrett shot 40.4% from three point range across those two stints, and has found his niche as a player; a big combo-with-point-tendencies guard with a good wing span and defensive effort, who hits open jump shots and makes relatively few mistakes. Whether he has the athleticism to make it back to the NBA is another matter - not able to get beyond the first line of the defense much, Garrett's upside at the NBA level is limited, and now aged 26, others may have the advantage.
Eric Griffin
The extremely athletic Griffin is back once again after a fine summer league performance with the Dallas Mavericks last season that led to a training camp contract with the team. And although he didn't quite make it out of camp, a fine season with the Mavericks' affiliate Texas saw him average 19.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in 35 minutes a contest. Although Griffin seems to become a less and less interested rebounder with each passing season despite his physical tools, he continues to improve as a shooter, last year knocking down 98 three pointers at a 36.8% mark. That plus 2.4 blocks per game is quite the combination, and Griffin has a legitimate chance of making the NBA next year, including behind his namesake Blake.
Jordan Hamilton
After some time in the D-League, Hamilton finished up the season with the Clippers, averaging 2.7 points in 14 games. The book is mostly out on Hamilton now; scoring bursts, OK athlete, sufficient if not stand-out defense, prone to forcing things at times and passing up at times, and a good not great shooter. There's perhaps some three-and-D potential there, but not the Tobias Harris potential there was once thought to be.
Darington Hobson
Hobson is back for summer league visit, five years after first being drafted. He spent the first half of last year in Brazil, averaging 17.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists with Brasilia, then came back to the D-League with the Santa Cruz Warriors and added further averages of 12.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 29.2 minutes per game. Hobson also upped his three point volume, taking four a game and hitting them at 36.7%, and had a very strong final stretch of the season. In the final game of the D-League season, Hobson led the Warriors with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants; a team that was 15-10 after Hobson's debut ended up 35-15 and the league champions, and Hobson was a big part of that. Hobson does much the same sort of thing as what Joe Ingles does, and Joe Ingles just played a full season in the NBA. At this point, so could Hobson.
Geron Johnson
From last year's NCAA shooting guards list:
Johnson was [Chris] Crawford's team mate at Memphis for the last two years, and played off the ball just as much as he did in an entirely different way. The hallmarks of his game are playing hard and playing athletically, and he thrives on all the things those things avail. He runs the court, is always pushing the ball, and can drive to the rim and finish explosively. He really is a dynamic full court player, a tremendous rebounder for a 6'3 guard, and, at times, a quality defensive presence. Johnson's speed and hands make him a very capable defensive player of both guard positions when the tenacity is there (and it normally is, but there are lulls). Strong with a long wingspan and a great leap, Johnson's physical profile belies his lack of height for the two guard position, and yet he can also masquerade as a point, bringing the ball up when needed and a good extra passer, if not a defense collapser.
All good so far. Sounds like the upcoming Chris Kramer if Kramer could do something with the ball, if he had longer arms, and if he was even more athletic. Indeed, Johnson shares Kramer's poor shooting ability, struggling with any form of jumpshot and yet not letting that stop him from trying them. The comparison goes further - Johnson struggles to create his jumpshots or any offense of his own, cannot shoot off the dribble at all and struggles with poor touch around the rim, but is a good extra passer and has good hands and drives open lanes. Johnson can split a double team and drive baseline in ways Kramer can't, but there are many similarities nonetheless. Yet what really separates them is Johnson's knack for turnovers, stemming from forcing the issue, not being able to dribble at the same speed as he can run, throwing the ball away and making too many poor decisions. Johnson makes much happen when he is on the court, but when he's on the ball, those things are all too often not good things.
This all lends itself terrifically to a workout setting, and Johnson played himself into fringe NBA range in that period. But it may be as close as he gets.
Johnson signed with the Houston Rockets for three days right at the end of training camp so that the Rockets could get him to their D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. But although Johnson spent the whole year there, he didn't play much, averaging only 12.9 minutes in 33 games and averaging 5.2 points and 1.4 assists. The 23% shooting means the jump shot is still not there yet.
Haakim Johnson
Johnson is out of NAIA school Pikeville, and having graduated in 2009 has spent the vast majority of his time in non-English speaking countries. He spent one year in Puerto Rico, two in Japan, a couple in Europe, all interspersed with trips to Saudi Arabia. He has also spent time in Mexico and in the PBL (apparently the Clippers are hitting up the non-D-League minor leagues this summer). A 6'7 face-up four man (not to be confused with a small forward), Johnson fancies himself a shooter, but is inconsistent in his mechanics and shoots a bit flat, and has never been a good shooter at any of these many stops despite his best intentions. He has some post-up play and driving in his arsenal and is decently athletic, but Johnson does not stand out in any facet of the game, and still just wants to be a shooter.
Amath M'Baye
M'Baye played in summer league for the Clippers last year, as well as for the Jazz and Spurs in 2013, at which time I wrote this about him:
M'Baye's incredibly ambitious declaration for the draft didn't really work out, in the sense that he wasn't drafted, although it does mean he can begin earning professional basketball paychecks sooner. And earn paychecks, he will. Last year for Oklahoma, M'Baye averaged 10.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game, hitting some jumpers, defending some forwards, grabbing boards, whilst hardly handling or playmaking. Yet there was no one determinable calling card. A solid college player whose lure is his physical profile, M'Baye will be in the pro game for several years, but this is likely the closest he'll get to the bigs.
To be fair, his career trajectory right now rather mirrors that of the aforementioned Jeff Brooks. And yet it has worked out for Jeff. But not in the NBA.
The two years hence have been spent in Japan with the Mitsubishi Dolphins, for whom M'Baye averaged 23.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season. He also shot 33% from three on more than three attempts per game, which is an improvement on pretty much every year prior. M'Baye impressed the Clippers last summer with his willingness to run and his athleticism, and two years as a go-to guy at both forwatd spots has helped him develop his once raw skills to go with his physical profile. M'Baye has continued to improve year on year and expand his game, and is back here on merit, despite my (not intended) pessimism of yester year.
Liam McMorrow
Tennessee Tech graduate McMorrow is also a one time summer league back for a second go, who played for the as-were Hornets in the 2013 edition. He has spent the two years hence in various places, firstly in Taiwan, and then splitting last year between the Halifax Rainmen of NBL Canada and Barako Bull in the Phillipines, the latter of which he averaged 27.5 points and 20.2 rebounds per game for. Even in a league where every import's stats (especially rebounding stats) are huge, McMorrow's stand out. Turning 28 in a couple of weeks despite his relative newness to the game, McMorrow is a project starting to come good - 7'2, strong and a good leaper, he is a rare physical specimen, who never fails to make himself known on the glass. The offensive game is extremely limited, the mistakes high, and the defensive awareness slow and clumsy (for some reason he never does much in the way of shotblocking, despite it all), yet in spite of this and his advancing age, McMorrow's profile is suitably rare as to always merit a look.
Yanick Moreira
From this year's NCAA centres list:
Moreira leaves Southern Methodist as a very experienced and much developed player. His awareness and understanding of the pace of the game improved markedly as a senior, and he went from being something of a project to a developed professional player.
Moreira is a fluid and mobile athlete, not a huge leaper or especially explosive but one who moves well and runs the court especially well for a centre. He has also added some muscle to a slightly thin frame, and has skill to go with this profile. Armed with a turnaround jump shot and a quick set-shot from the 15 feet or so area, Moreira also scores with a running righty hook, but can also use a left, and is a good interior passer to boot. He will take a dribble or two from the mid-range area and is always a threat in pick-and-roll situations. Moreira is pretty much entirely a mid-range threat, without the strength to create position in the post and without the range to step any further out, and shoots line-drives free throws poorly that belie his shooting abilities from that area in open play. But he will occasionally flash a spin move in the post and is certainly effective overall offensively, a skilled and smooth big man who presents an option in the half court, and definitely in the full court.
Defensively, the lack of strength again hinders Moreira a bit, and he is a bit soft with his interior defense. He also goal tends quite a lot of shots, and I don't say this because of his one most famous one. He nevertheless competes defensively and is a good paint protector, lively and active, who gets up quickly from standing - the goal tends are the trade-off from the overall good defensive presence.
Were he slightly stronger and slightly more skilled, Moreira would be a sure-fire NBA player. As it is, he's not far short anyway.
D.J. Newbill
From this year's NCAA shooting guards list:
Newbill is an extremely big time scorer, partly because Penn State have always needed him to be, but always because he is capable of being so.
Best as a slasher, Newbill scores in many ways, if not every way. He has added better three point range year on year, but is certainly no three point bomber; indeed, for a while, he took too many two point jump shots. But he's put them away, in favour of more three pointers and more barrels to the paint. Newbill can get to the paint using good athleticism and a very good handle that allows him to change direction quickly, particularly in the form of a crossover that is something of a staple. Once at the rim, Newbill's power and aggressive nature makes him an unafraid finisher (albeit almost entirely with the right hand), which he combines with a runner (supposedly which he learnt from Tim Frazier) for those moments when he can't or won't get the whole way there. Newbill also shoots a pull-up two pointer well, and has a stronger mid-range game than most.
Capable of playing point guard, Newbill is best served more off the ball, where his efficiency improves markedly and where he can focus on the thing he does best - scoring. He is much better at getting to the basket off of curls and closeouts than in isolation, and although he shoots few jump shots off these screens, his catch-and-shoot shot is servicable. Furthermore, Newbill is also a fairly decent defender. His lateral quickness is perhaps better than his straight line speed, and although there are some lapses on that end (which can perhaps be attributed to the huge offensive load he has been carrying), his ability to stay in front when plugged in is quite good.
Ideally, Newbill would be bigger (only 6'4 with a 6'6 wingspan, not great for a two guard). This, of course, he cannot control. He can however control the shot selection, which is not great at times, and he can be accountable for the defensive lapses and underdeveloped jump shot. There is also a hero ball tendency in clutch situations that needs to go (and which the team must be somewhat accountable for), yet that will likely go with newer pastures.
There is no one remarkable facet to Newbill's game, yet there is a bit of most of them. Newbill can be a tremendous European guard.
Tim Parham
Parham is almost certainly going to be the oldest player in any of the three summer leagues going on this season. Now aged 32, the 6'9 centre graduated from Maryland Eastern Shore way back in 2006, and has very much toured the world in that time. He has played in such far ranging places as Taiwan, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Turkey, the D-League, the UAE and Germany, and now he gets to (kind of) add the NBA to that list. It's a bizarre inclusion, however; Parham has spent most of the last two years with the Halifax Rainman of the NBL Canada league, but he averaged only 5.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game for them last year, before averaging 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds down the stretch of the season for the Windsor Express after being traded for a future draft pick. Ironically, Parham had lost his place on the Rainmen to the aforementioned Liam McMorrow. Old, extremely limited offensively, not a shot blocker and not especially athletic, Parham is a 6'9 strong rebounder and fouler who plays a limited role well, but only at the right level. He's therefore an odd inclusion on this roster - although he attended summer league with the Chicago Bulls once, that was back in 2006.
Royce White
White did not play last year, and still has precisely 24 games played in a three year professional, 20 of which were in the D-League. It's hard to know how this ends - notwithstanding the anxiety issues and the burnt bridges, it is not apparent what role White would fill on a team, or that he ever could have done. Not a defender or a shooter, White's abilities as a playmaker are heavily mitigated by not being of a sufficient talent level to merit the ball in his hands much in the first place. So on what basis would he be called up?
C.J. Wilcox
Wilcox barely played as a rookie, recording only 101 minutes, which is not enough time to make a judgement of any substance. We then have to return again to his projection, that of being a three-and-D potential player. With his size, wingspan and good set shot, Wilcox certainly has this, but with the trade for Lance Stephenson, it doesn't seem as though he will get any minutes with the Clippers again this year either. A change of scenery might be the best thing for him - then again, it hasn't helped Reggie Bullock.
Nate Wolters
After starting 31 games as a rookie, Wolters was cut early last season by the Bucks, and although he was soon picked up by the New Orleans Pelicans, he didn't last but ten games before being waived again and confined to the D-League for the remainder of the year. In 12 games for the Grand Rapids Drive, however, Wolters averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists, with a near 4:1 assist to turnover ratio. Wolters still can't shoot, and that, in an era of heightened awareness of offensive efficiency, is a bigger problem than ever. But that ratio is extreme efficiency, and even if he can't shoot to compensate it, Wolters's playmaking out of the pick-and-roll is not easily found elsewhere.
Patric Young
From last year's NCAA power forwards list:
Way back in the day, I anointed Patric Young with the title of "future SEC Defensive Player of the Year". And it came off; Young won the award as a senior after making the All-Conference Defense Team as a junior.
Over time, Young made strides in learning how to turn his great physical profile into a defensive presence. Certainly, he looks the part; athletic and quite strong, Young is also laterally quick, plenty big enough to defend the post while also fast enough to defend the perimeter. That said, his defense is far from imperfect - sagging off too far on said perimeter defense, Young's effort and effectiveness are a bit inconsistent, and his feet on the perimeter need work. Also, for all the athleticism, Young's offense is limited, mostly just powerfully finishing the work of others or getting the looks only available to one so athletic. He's always a lob threat, but he's rarely a post threat, and there is little jump shot to speak of.
Young intrigues with size, strength and athleticism. He runs and he dunks, he explodes and he blocks, and he has decent hands to boot. But he needs to lock down defensively, and either become a much more viable threat in the pick-and-roll, shoot jump shots, or both.
Signed by the New Orleans Pelicans last summer after going undrafted, Young made it only one month through his rookie season before being waived in favour of Dante Cunningham. He then spent the rest of the season with Galatasaray in Turkey, averaging 10.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in Turkish league play. Young has agreed to play for Olympiakos next season and thus likely won't actually play in summer league, but given that I had written this before that news broke, the blurb stays.

SBS announced today the channel will be tailored towards younger audiences, with a focus on the "thinking thirties" age group.
Michael Ebeid, SBS Managing Director, said the new-look channel will deliver on SBS's commitment to broadening and deeping reach with younger audiences.
"We know that younger audiences engage with SBS when we broadcast key content like 'Go Back to Where You Came From', 'East West 101' and 'Housos' but we want to give that audience a channel they can call their own and that is fully integrated with an online offering."
"SBS 2 will be a channel which is fun and inclusive and all about giving our younger audiences content in the fast-paced way they want it, when they want it and on a device they choose to view it."
The channel will be digitally integrated, with viewers able to watch selected programs online - via the SBS on Demand service - once the first episode has gone to air.
SBS's Director of TV and Online Content, Tony Iffland, says the set-up will allow audiences to watch what they want, when they want it.
"We know our audiences don't necessarily want to wait eight weeks or more to make an appointment to view a series and now they don't have to," he says.
"They can go straight to SBS on Demand and watch all the episodes back-to-back or whenever they want."
The line-up features a 15-minute dedicated news and current affairs program, drama and comedy including the "anti-romantic comedy" 'Him & Her', cult hit 'Community', and documentaries such as the warzone wandering 'Don't Tell My Mother'.
Friday night football will air on SBS 2 when the 2013-14 season of the Hyundai A-League kicks off in October.

Warts? In my house?
Many years ago, when Stephen and I were dating. We were counselors at our youth church camp. Abby was a high school student, it was a fun week with many memories. One memory is about warts the other memory is that Stephen wouldn't hold my hand or kiss me the whole entire week because Siloam has a no PDA rule. And he has always loved a rule.
The wart memory is the best one though.
Abby had these warts on her hands. I don't know how long they had been there or why. They weren't large or ugly or anything. Just a problem for her. I mean, who wants warts on your hand.
Well, one morning we woke up and she said "Julie, my warts are gone!" I thought that was an outlandish statement. How does that happen! We looked on the floor, on the sheets, we shook out her blanket, we did everything looking for them. We never found them. They were gone. Forever.
We always gave credit to the healing springs of Siloam Springs Baptist Assembly! I guess we should have given the credit to God. He, being the One that heals and all. But look, I was just a camp counselor, not the holy, righteous pastors wife that I am today.
Did you just spew coke out your nose at that statement? You should have!
Well apparently, Abby has given her wart susceptibility to one of my children. David has a wart, large and ugly, on the bottom of his foot. We have an appointment with the podiatrist Monday afternoon to get it frozen off. NASTY!!!
We haven't ever had warts in this house. Hopefully this will be the last one, or I may have to buy a cabin at Siloam to take my children at the first sight of a wart.

Thank you for this memory. I still recall that morning as though it was lsat week. What a miraculous healing. I too have had one frozen off my foot in the 10th grade, tell Dave to call me....

I had a wart removed from the bottom of my foot also. It must be in the gene pool.....He will have a scar that he can pass down to the next generations. Be Proud...

I think the easiest and cheapest way to handle the wart removal on the foot of my namesake is to drive the boy to Jonesboro and let Aunt Abby lay her hands on D.R.'s foot. Please have her wash her hands first just in case she has just changed Henry's diaper.

I am sorry about David's foot. Hopefully he won't have to deal with that ever again. I have never had a wart, I did get something weird growing up. Have you heard of sweat ache? Back in the day, they burned that off too. I wonder what they do about it now? Ha!

An Uzbek journalist charged with sodomy has pleaded guilty at his closed trial and dismissed his lawyers, according to rights activists who alleged Monday that his actions were the result of pressure from the authorities. Ruslan Sharipov said at a hearing Friday that he was ready to admit his guilt on all charges and apologize to President Islam Karimov and other officials for criticizing them in his articles, according to Surat Ikramov, an activist who has been helping defend Sharipov in court. Sharipov dismissed Ikramov and his lawyer, Ravil Gayazov, and also requested that his mother not be allowed to attend hearings. Sharipov earlier maintained his innocence and said the case against him was fabricated. The trial began July 16.
Sharipov, 25, a journalist who leads an independent civil rights group that focuses on protecting media freedom, was arrested May 26 and accused of having sex with another man, having sex with minors, and running a brothel.
Sharipov, who is openly gay, faces up to three years in prison if convicted under a Soviet-era law banning sodomy that is still part of the Uzbek criminal code. If found guilty on the other charges, Sharipov could face another five years.
International human rights groups have strongly protested Sharipov's arrest, calling it politically motivated persecution. A Human Rights Watch researcher in Uzbekistan, Matilda Bogner, said Monday
that she believes authorities either tortured Sharipov or threatened him with torture to make him plead guilty. Sharipov said in earlier letters from prison that he had been under heavy psychological pressure.
Ikramov said that Sharipov told his lawyers after Friday's hearing that he had been forced to give up attempts to defend himself out of consideration for his own security and the security of his mother and lawyers.

"IBM on Tuesday announced worldwide support for enterprise customersrunning Linux, including free support during a 90-day start-up period for Red Hat Software and Caldera Systems Linux running on IBM Netfinity servers."
"'For the Netfinity brand, this [announcement] is a biggie because we've gone from talking about Linux to doing it,' said Tom Figgatt, IBM's e-business segment executive for Netfinity servers."
"'It means that now a customer can buy a Netfinity system, and with the two distributions we'll be launching -- both Caldera and Red Hat -- they'll be able to install it on Linux-certified models and have it work,' Figgatt said."
"'And if they've got a problem, [they can] call us up and we'll work with them to get it fixed,' he said. 'We'll take ownership of problems, both hardware and software, during the first 90 days of what we call our server start-up period, and we'll take it to resolution all the way.'"

A city of Minneapolis plan to make available its databases to the public could lead to new cell phone apps, and help make city government more efficient.
The city has more than 450 different electronic databases that track everything from budgets to crime statistics to street maintenance. Some staffers, elected officials and self-described hackers are working on a plan to put that information on the Internet for anyone to use.
Minneapolis already publishes reams of statistics on the performance of city government. But Council Member Andrew Johnson said those charts and graphs are no longer good enough. He said there's now a demand for the raw data behind city's reports.
"Culture and expectations are shifting. You have now this smart phone in your hand and you can access everything at your fingertips, and people expect the ability to dive in, and have access to information," Johnson said. "The old models, the old way of doing things are no longer acceptable to a lot of folks."
For anyone who wonders whether any citizens are interested in wading through gigantic spreadsheets of government data, the answer is yes.
Every month, a group of computer programmers, web designers and researchers meet in a basement computer lab at the University of Minnesota to discuss ways to use computers and public data to make the world a better place.
"People want to do things for their community, when you get right down to it and you have this new group of citizens that have technology skills," said Bill Bushey, who founded the group about a year and a half ago. "And they're trying to figure out how to apply those skills to community, which is a fairly new concept."
This week's meetup drew about a dozen participants. Some talked about their projects. Others quietly tapped away at laptops.
Boyd Johnson, who has a day job as a payroll specialist, worked on an interactive map showing data he received from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office.
"The purpose was to have an open-source, anybody can access it, way to look at where there are voter registration needs, so groups could go out and canvas and increase voter registration," Johnson said.
It's a project he enjoys.
"I'm a publicly minded person," Johnson said. "I want to see the well-being of Minnesota increase. That's something that gives me happiness."
The city of Chicago started posting its databases online in 2012, and since then, programmers have created websites to track the city's snowplows, train schedules, crime rate, economic growth and zoning rules.
Chicago IT consultant Derek Eder said many of the apps are easier-to-use versions of the city's own website. That's sparked a discussion about how the government uses technology, he said.
"Here are all these people outside of government, building these tools, doing it in their spare time, and doing things that are actually in a lot of ways much more usable and innovative than what typically the government solutions have been," said Eder, who leads an open data group in Chicago. "So there's a question there of 'why are we paying so much money for the official versions, when they're not as good as what these people are doing in their spare time for free?'"
Of course, opening up all the city-maintained databases in Minneapolis isn't necessarily free, either. The city has about 97,000 gigabytes of information — and it would take more than 1,500 iPhones to hold it all.
The data are spread across more than 450 different information systems and putting it online could be expensive, said Otto Doll, the city's chief information officer.
"That's going to be quite a bit of money," Doll said. "We're going to talk six digits to get all that storage."
Doll said another concern he's heard from some city departments is the data could be misconstrued or used in a way that might make the city look bad.
"They're concerned at times with people misinterpreting and/or misusing the information, because then they have to answer to it," he said.
But Doll expects much more good than bad to come out of the open data policy when it is finalized this summer.

Sydney (AFP) Dec 10, 2009
More than 120 wildfires fanned by high winds and soaring temperatures raged in southeastern Australia Thursday, prompting emergency warnings for several towns, officials said.
Some 2,000 firefighters tackled the fires in New South Wales, where a large blaze was burning dangerously close to farming properties in the state's northwest.
"A fire is burning in very high fire-danger conditions, and is currently between two and six hours away from properties," the Rural Fire Service (RFS) said.
"Under these conditions fires can be difficult to control and flames may burn from the ground to the tree-tops."
It urged residents of Bundarra and Barraba towns to be ready to evacuate, warning that "fires will be uncontrollable, unpredictable and fast moving".
New South Wales and neighbouring Queensland, which was also fighting several fires, suffered sweltering conditions on Thursday with temperatures approaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
"Really we have got so many fires ... any number of them may pose a risk," said RFS assistant commissioner Rob Rogers.
The RFS later said conditions were expected to ease on Friday from around 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), giving some relief to firefighters.
On Wednesday, a park ranger died and a pilot was seriously injured when their helicopter crashed while mapping fires. A day earlier, two water-bombing helicopters clipped tail rotors in mid-air, but no one was injured.
Australia is still reeling from February's Black Saturday disaster, when fires engulfed entire towns and claimed 173 lives in Victoria state.

Australia battles wildfires as threat eases: officials

Australian firefighters battled to contain scores of blazes in the country's southeast on Monday as a sharp drop in temperatures eased fears for dozens of threatened homes. About 600 firefighters backed by water-bombing aircraft were fighting 82 fires around New South Wales state, including a major inferno near the country villages of Rylstone and Kandos.

Small store in a small town. It has a decent selection but nothing really out of the ordinary.
NobleSquirrel (209) Chicago, Illinois | September 9, 2010
This was a pretty supreme letdown when I stopped in last time. I'll go back again when in the area. Has Boulevard and a few other random things, though nothing I can't get in Chicago really. Okay and a plus for the area.
bblack99 (30) Kansas City, Missouri | May 8, 2010
This was a hard store to rate. Small, with an equally small (but nearly all-refrigerated) beer selection, Hy-Vee Wine and Spirits has some hidden surprises. Amongst the Coors and Milwaukee's Best, you can find some of the best beers on RateBeer (Sculpin, Angel's Share, etc.). A little boxy standalone liquor store offshoot of the Hy-Vee grocery stores in Quincy, this shop has little in the way of ambience and since there wasn't a "beer manager" on duty, I can't say much about the service. After reading the previous rating, I was in search of Three Floyds (in disbelief!!!) and was told by the cashier that she had never heard of them. Too bad, but I did manage to get Sculpin and Tres, so the trip wasn't a total loss. Pretty good for the tri-state area.
jpm30 (57) East Central, Georgia | January 26, 2006| Updated May 1, 2007
This HyVee liquor store actually has a pretty decent beer selection, the best I've found overall in the Quincy/Hannibal region. They have your basic imports that you see everywhere, Bass, Corona, Guinness, Harp, Modelo, Tecate, etc..., they also have one or more selections from Chimay, Lindemans, Ayinger, Bavaria, DAB, Franzikaner, Hacker-Pschorr, Konig Ludwig, Paulaner, Spaten, Tucher, Warsteiner, Birra Moretti, Grolsh, Pilsner Urquell, Tyskie, Bishops Finger, John Courage, Fuller's, McEwans, Newcastle, Old Peculiar, Samuel Smith, Tennent's, Anchor Stream, Berghoff, JW Dundee's, Elmwood, Goose Island, Huber, Ommegang, Red Hook, Rogue, Sam Adams, Schlafly, Sierra Nevada, Sleeman, Summit, Three Floyds and Widmer Brothers. All the beer is kept cold, the imports and micros in a long open shelved cooler along the front and the macros in coolers along the side wall. The vast majority of the seasonals are macro products. The store is clean, dust free and they seem to have a good turnover rate, I don't believe age will be a quality problem.

We are all guilty of it. It rules the way so many of us live our lives and how we gage our own happiness or worthiness to be happy.
I call it the When/Then Syndrome.
When I am thin, then I will be happy.
When I make more money, then I will be happy.
When I get a boyfriend, then I will be happy.
When I that job everyone would envy, then I will be happy.
You get the picture.
So many of us tell ourselves our worthiness depends on achieving the next best thing. But it's a vicious cycle, because the more you attain, the more pressure grows and a whole new set of When/Then's enter the picture.
I am all for setting goals and growing, but the first step to real happiness is to love yourself now, as is.
When I love myself for exactly who I am, then I will be happy.
And it truly works.
I once set many goals for myself based on who I thought I wanted to be, not who I was. And you know what? I achieved most of them. I worked hard and achieved.
But when I arrived on the doorstep of all the things I had dreamed up because I was disliking the real me, I ended up being someone that I wasn't at all.
It was unattainable for me to continue living the life of someone I wasn't inside. I was busy disliking myself and trying to be the next best person, thinking that would bring me happiness. Instead it brought the self-hate mode on even further, as I had no idea who I really was. A new set of When/Then's would only push me further into the discomfort.
After a lot of healing and unlearning bad habits around food, finances, and what I put out into the world through my business, I decided to focus only on loving myself.
Seriously, I took a step back from life in almost all areas and just focused on what made me happy at the core. Maintaining healthy relationships, surrounding myself with people who empowered my dreams, letting go of obsessive thoughts around food, falling in love with managing my money, and, in truth, having a lot more fun than I had been when I was wasting my energy trying to reach any list of When's.
Most of all, I fell back in love with the real me: the version of myself that makes me feel the best inside, my most authentic and worthy of happiness self. Now I have lots of personal goals, not to validate myself, but to put out into this world the best possible me and hope it inspires others to love themselves too!

Kit doesn't know who his mother is. What he does know, however, is that his father, Guy, is dying of cancer. Feeling his death is imminent, Guy gathers around him his oldest friends - or at least the friends with the most to lose by his death. Paul - the rising star in the Labour party who dreads the day a tape they all made at university might come to light; Alison and Robbie, corporate bunnies whose relationship is daily more fractious; Pris and Haze, once an item, now estranged, and finally Hol - friend, mentor, former lover and the only one who seemed to care.
But what will happen to Kit when Guy is gone? And why isn't Kit's mother in the picture? As the friends reunite for Guy's last days, old jealousies, affairs and lies come to light as Kit watches on.

"the last offering of a great author"
A brilliant story, his last book that perhaps reflects some of his own thoughts, challenges and insights as he confronted mortality. And Peter Kenny reads extremely well, as he always does. After a few hundred audiobooks I can say that this combination of author and reader are my absolute favourite and I highly recommend them.
"Excellent narration of Iain's last book"
the narration and the steely response to cancer with a touch of rage into the night with humour and understanding
the son
brings out the individual characters of the protagonist and the friends and especially his father
just thanks to all involved especially Iain Banks and Peter Kenny
"Ok but characters you grow to hate"
Started well but the let down is the story I am afraid to say, charterers I eventually either hated or didn't care about. Disappointing but good narration and some redeeming features, I.e. kit in particular
"Iain Banks last novel"
Iain Bank wrote this book then announced he too had cancer and died shortly before this book was rushed through and published.
This will not be the first or last. He is a great storyteller and writer. One of the 20th century greats.
He has a great way of bringing together his characters.
Kit - he is intelligent so insightful.
all of it
"Gives understanding of disability."
Understanding of illnesses.
Kit. Thinking about what was going on in the story and Kit being such a young boy who was the main carer of Guy, his father, made me feel that as a young man he was able to pass on a lot.
Not sure I've listened to any before but my memory is terrible so maybe I have. It was very expressive and I got a lot out of his voice.
Would have liked to do that but because of family commitments I wasn't able to.
I'm very glad that I heard about the book which was obviously hyped a lot in Scotland with Iain Banks being Scots and then dying, so I'm glad that I got a hold of it and listened to it. I knew Iain Banks was a top author and this book was another top story.
"An excellent listen for a sunny day"
I could listen to Peter Kenny read almost anything, I love his way. Combined with another great observation of the human condition from Iain Banks the experience is great.
I lay in the garden for two days in listening heaven with breaks for people, drinks and food, what more could you ask for.
"Goodbye Mr Banks."
Like many, I mourn the loss of one of our greatest writers; Iain Banks. So, I'm biased, I admit it. Despite my bias, this is a great novel. For the Banksians out there, the story is written from the perspective of a teenage boy; like Wasp Factory. The flow is quick with political undertones like Crow Road. It's dark too, like Complicity and The Bridge. It also has that dark humour that's hidden inside the modern dysfunctional family, Garbadale, Stonemouth and Business. In summary, a great finale – you need to listen to this.
One final note, Peter Kenny, he's a perfect choice to narrate Banks' work. He provides the icing on the cake.
first book of Ian'# I've read. laughed and cried. disappointed when it was over. now looking for more of his stuff
"Enjoyable but slightly dissapointing"
The writing is wonderful and the characters intriguing, but the mystery at the heart of the story is not really resolved well enough in my opinion.
"A must read the the devoted Banks fans like me"
OK - so the book was not his best, but we need to cut this great guy some slack - he was after all dying before he even started the book. Banks is just a fabulous imagination and while this was a great listen and was pretty well read, I will so much more miss him for his 'Feersum' SciFi. I am so glad he also loved his SciFi so much.
If either of us were religious - I would be saying - Bless you Banks!
"Not the great Mr Banks' best"
This is really not in the same league of many other Banks books, such as The Wasp Factory or The Crow Road to name but two. There is very little in the way of plot and I really took a dislike to most of the argumentative characters, the exception being Kit who is an interesting creation whom I think could have been used to much greater effect.
This is generally a very pedestrian read pulled up only by Peter Kenny's narration which keeps things moving, although there isn't a lot of movement to be had.

Sharp-tailed grouse
The Sharp-tailed grouse population is increasing in the Scotch Creek basin, however they are still considered sensitive to public viewing. The best time to see Sharp-tails is in winter along the Conconully Highway in the water birch and other riparian vegetation along Scotch Creek. Especially after a heavy snow. Please do not disturb or flush the birds while in their winter habitat.
Mule deer hunting is popular on this unit. You can expect crowded conditions at
all parking areas during the modern firearm deer season, especially opening weekend.
Hunting pressure declines as the season progresses. White tailed deer are also
present on the area so know your rules and identify the species before pulling
the trigger. Upland bird hunting is also available. Natural production of pheasants,
quail, grey partridge (most abundant), chukar partridge, and blue grouse occur
here. Note: All lands in Washington State are CLOSED to the taking of Sharp-tailed
Grouse including all Scotch Creek Wildlife Area Units. The WDFW is very concerned
with the accidental take of this protected species. Again, know your target before
pulling the trigger. Other wildlife species you may encounter include black bear,
cougar, bobcat and, the western rattlesnake. Hunting seasons vary depending on
species, consult Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife hunting regulations
for seasons and dates.
Fishing opportunity is limited on this unit. Scotch Creek contains brook trout,
and is open to fishing with-in season, however the largest fish rarely exceeds
6". Other waters of the unit do not contain fish. However WDFW access
sites within driving distance that offer fishing include, Blue Lake and Green
Lake. Additional fishing opportunities can be found on the Sinlahekin Wildlife
Area to the north and both the upper and lower Conconully reservoirs. Consult
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fishing Regulations for further information
on seasons and the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area Homepage.
Camping is permitted adjacent to established roads. Firewood can be gathered
from downed dead wood only and must remain on the wildlife area. Fire restrictions
are governed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources and Okanogan
County. Consult WDNR website for up to date fire restrictions. Length of stay
is limited to 14 days.
Other Recreation
Hiking, biking and horseback riding. Non-motorized recreational activities are

Picture yourself here.
MALIBU, CALIFORNIA—a mere 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles and a short drive from all that Southern California has to offer, Pepperdine University's oceanfront location offers students the chance to study near one of the world's most vibrant and influential metropolitan cities yet live in a safe and relaxed beachside community. Pepperdine sits high atop Malibu's Santa Monica Mountains, with an 830-acre campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Where faith and learning meet
As a private Christian liberal arts university, Pepperdine is at the forefront of holistically developing the next generation of leaders through rigorous curriculum, faculty mentorship, tailored research opportunities, and timely lectureship series. The liberal arts curriculum at Pepperdine serves as the foundation upon which you can explore, debate, and address life's deepest questions and the world's greatest challenges. The outcome is a transformational educational experience that allows you to explore your passions, enrich your life through new academic encounters, and graduate with fundamental knowledge to draw upon throughout your life.
Advancing science
Although education occurs in the classroom, it also occurs in laboratories, field sites, conference presentations, internship locations, and more. As a student in Pepperdine's Natural Science Division, you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities in the Keck Science Center, which comprises research centers, a greenhouse, and science laboratories. Pepperdine's long-standing commitment to providing undergraduates in the division with research opportunities is showcased by first-year students who have presented their findings at conferences and published their reports in professional journals. Pepperdine's interactive curriculum, hands-on research opportunities, and special programs help Natural Science students identify and refine their career goals within the discipline. Honors Research Programs in Chemistry, Biology, and Sports Medicine are offered.
Pre-health professional curricula are offered for those who plan to pursue a degree at a professional school in medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing after earning their undergraduate degree at Pepperdine. These curricula are not degree programs—rather, students pursue a bachelor's degree offered by Pepperdine, usually in the sciences, before pursuing admission to a professional school in their chosen field. Pepperdine's Natural Science Division offers a variety of fraternities, clubs, undergraduate research programs, and advisors to assist students interested in pursuing health careers.
Engineering 3+2 program
In this program, students major in Natural Science for three years at Pepperdine followed by two years at another university that has agreements with Pepperdine. Agreements, subject to change, are currently in effect with the University of Southern California School of Engineering and Washington University School of Engineering in St. Louis. Students receive bachelor's degrees from both universities.
Natural Science Division majors
Majors in the Natural Science Divison include Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science/Mathematics, the Engineering 3+2 program (in conjunction with partner institutions, with tracks in Chemical; Computer; and Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering), Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Natural Science, Nutritional Science, Physics, and Sports Medicine.
The Pepperdine impact
A degree from Pepperdine is highly valued and respected in a competitive global marketplace. Choosing to enroll at Pepperdine not only launches a personal, academic, and spiritual transformative journey but also a practical foundation that is rooted in ethical decision making, real-world application, and a supportive community.

Dan MillerCrosswalk.com blogspot for Dan Miller and 28Days.com
- 2013 Sep 02
I spent a recent morning on the porch, listing to the rain and leafing through the latest issue of a popular Christian magazine. While I appreciate the scholarly attempts at great journalism, I am disturbed by the search for "truth" that then appears controversial and judgmental.
When does our "religion" become a tool to judge and condemn others, rather than a rallying call to worship together and to share the mystery of our faith?
Here are just a few of the issues being debated in this one magazine in our divisive search for "truth."
- Should we love those who are evil or "wish judgment upon them?"
- Can the Christian faith be reconciled with the new frontiers in brain research?
- Are children's sports programs building character or diminishing church attendance?
- Does counting Christians killed in political or ethnic conflicts as martyrs "take away" from the deaths of active witnesses?
- If it more Godly to live in the slums with those who need help or to responsibly protect our families?
- Does God still speak to us audibly or only through the Bible?
- Is Yoga a healthy, calming and much needed exercise or a subversive introduction of Hinduism and New Age spirituality?
- Is "religious indignation" justified Godly anger or simply a way to make ourselves feel superior?
- Is it wrong to savor a great meal or should we, like St. Augustine, "fight against the pleasure in order not to be captivated by it?
Granted, these are interesting topics of conversation but I fear that while pursuing the ""truth" in such matters in our Christian circles we miss the opportunity for connection and compassion with our next door neighbor.

KAMLOOPS - A crown prosecutor is seeking a lengthy prison sentence for what she believes to be the first sentencing for trafficking fentanyl in B.C.
Anita Chan wants B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop to send Matthew Hickson, born 1983, to prison for four years. Hickson was arrested Nov. 5, 2014 when a car he was the passenger in was pulled over and police found cocaine and fentanyl in the trunk of the car.
Hickson is due to be sentenced today, April 26, for possession of cocaine and fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking. Chan said she believes this is the first time someone is being sentenced for trafficking fentanyl in B.C. She referred to cases from Ontario for reference for the fentanyl count.
The car Hickson was in was pulled over after being followed by police from Kamloops to Langley and most of the way back before being stopped near Merritt, Chan told Hyslop. Both the driver, Racquel Friedel, and Hickson were arrested at that time, when 490 pills containing fentanyl and more than 386 grams of cocaine were found in the car. The fentanyl was pressed to look like oxycontin pills, Chan said. According to expert opinions submitted by the Crown, the cocaine is worth approximately $30,000 and the pills between $4,800 and $9,600.
Chan says that other charges of possession of a prohibited weapon and possession of property obtained through crime against Hickson will likely be stayed and that Friedel's case will be heard at a later date.
Hickson entered a guilty plea seven months ago.
Hickson was charged as part of an investigation which resulted in 45 charges to 13 people in 2014 and early 2015.

Age: 59
Last held public office: U.S. Senator from South Carolina, 2005-present
Tea Party candidates in the 2010 midterms had no greater champion than Jim DeMint, who bucked his party's establishment to endorse, nurture and fund candidates like Rand Paul in Kentucky and Marco Rubio in Florida. He's been a leader of Tea Party legislative initiatives like the push to ban earmarks, and would be one of the most socially conservative contenders in the 2012 field, opposing abortion even in cases of rape and incest. And as a Senator from South Carolina, DeMint is already well established in one of the nation's first primary states.
Outside of the party's conservative base, DeMint lacks the name recognition and pizzazz of some other prospective contenders. Viability in the general election has historically been more important to Republican primary voters than ideological purity. (They swallowed years of resentment and nominated John McCain in 2008 in hopes of holding on to the White House in a Democratic year.) DeMint may not appeal to those simply looking for the candidate with the best chance to win wide appeal and oust President Obama.
Representative quote: "Tea Party Republicans were elected to go to Washington and save the country not be co-opted by the club. So put on your boxing gloves. The fight begins today."

Lowell upbeat despite nagging injury
Red Sox third baseman aims to return to lineup Friday
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
But Lowell, who is playing with a partial tear in the labrum of his right hip that became aggravated further when he had to make a barehanded play on a chopper on Tuesday night, did discover what he thought was some good news during his day of talking to doctors, trainers and club officials.
"The medical term is that they believe my labrum maybe popped in and out of the joint yesterday," said Lowell. "That's why it's kind of flared up today. I think that's good news because I asked again, I was on the phone with a lot of people today and I know [manager Terry Francona] and [general manager] Theo [Epstein] were as well, seeing if this could get worse. They really say that it can't. I look at that as a positive, but yeah, this morning was very uncomfortable when I woke up."
Lowell admitted to being worried when he woke up that it was going to be a longer-term injury.
"Yeah, absolutely," said Lowell. "It's easier when you wake up and you feel better. I was very stiff and that's when I needed to call the trainers and said, 'Could something have happened worse?' They made phone calls and basically told them, 'Not really.' That whole popping thing makes sense in that your body will flare up after that."
With a day off for the Red Sox on Thursday, it is Lowell's hope that he will be back in the lineup on Friday night for the start of a three-game series in Toronto.
As a veteran player who has already been a core member of two World Series-winning teams, this is the time of year Lowell wants to be on the field. If that means playing through pain, so be it.
"I think if we can make minor adjustments and we can still be productive, I think we would like to play," Lowell said. "I've never played wiffle ball in the backyard, saying this is a game in June. Usually you say this is a game [with the season] on the line. This is when you want to be in there. I'm hoping in two days, it will feel a lot better."
Francona met with Lowell multiple times in the hours leading up to Wednesday's game.
"His MRI [from last month] is going to a couple of different specialists," Francona said. "We talked to, I think everybody, from Theo to [Lowell's] agents to our medical people. The hard thing is, in the last part of our season, it's probably going to end up being what he can handle. We've all seen that he can handle a lot, but I think last night got to the point where it became too much and he woke up today very sore.
"I think there is some hope that soreness will leave in a hurry and then he can play and tolerate it. If that doesn't happen, it makes it difficult. You saw the way he was moving around. It was very difficult. Tomorrow afternoon, those things will be looked at and discussed."
Lowell has all but resigned himself to having surgery in the offseason.
"It doesn't sound too exciting," said Lowell. "Usually in the offseason I picture myself at the beach, playing with my kids in the pool. Not at a rehab."
Most importantly, Lowell has been assured there are no long-term ramifications to playing through the injury.
"I specifically asked [the doctor] after an MRI: 'If I hurt this more, am I going to need a hip replacement down the road?' He said, 'This has nothing to do with that.' I'm all for doing what I can do to be on the field, but I'm not in the mood to sacrifice my health later on in my life," said Lowell. "That was definitely a question I asked and definitely something they ruled out."
Though Lowell has mentioned a couple of times that he doesn't want to play if Francona views him as a hindrance, it's clear that isn't the case.
"He's on pace to drive in about 90 runs," said Francona. "He plays a Gold Glove-caliber third base, hits right in the middle of the order. He went from being slow to slower. He's a good player."
With Lowell out of the lineup, Francona started Kevin Youkilis at third base and Sean Casey at first.

The activities of the National Competition Council (NCC) will be examined
again on Wednesday 25 February by the Financial Institutions Committee
at a public hearing in Melbourne. The NCC is one of the key new competition
agencies. It's role in competition policy is crucial - it advises the
Commonwealth, States and Territories in implementing the competition reforms,
as well as assessing their progress.
Committee Chairman, David Hawker MP, said 'Since the NCC's inception
there has been ongoing basic concerns about its effectiveness. Questions
continue to be asked about the dual role of the NCC as advisor and assessor;
the way competition policy is being implemented; and the impact of competition
policy, particularly in regional areas.'
While under its new President, Mr Graham Samuel, the NCC has achieved
a higher profile and adopted a more open and collaborative approach to
much of its work, the basic questions remain.
Mr Hawker said 'The Council's assessment role is of particular concern.
In July last year all jurisdictions received full payments from the Commonwealth
for their progress to date in implementing the reforms, despite gaps in
performance in some areas. Some $406 million in 1997-98 are involved.
This money was paid on the basis of the assessment recommendations made
by the NCC. It is difficult to reconcile the confidence shown by the NCC
in its assessment report and the somewhat pessimistic picture of reform
now emerging from the NCC's most recent annual report.'
'In its annual report the NCC has pointed to slippage in almost all
areas of competition reform and stresses the need to adjust the broader
policy mix in some areas so that the potential benefits of competition
reform can be fully realised and used well.'
'Public concerns remain rife about the NCP legislative review program.
Despite the Committee's support for national reviews, the options and
tone emerging from the NCC's recent work on the Australia Post review,
does not instil confidence in regional Australia.'
Mr Hawker said 'Some of the matters that the Committee would address
at the hearing include:
'Given the NCC's critical role in competition policy, its actions must
be transparent and accountable. With the NCC's unique position of reporting
to the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments as a group, its appearance
before this Parliamentary Committee provides a rare opportunity for detailed
public scrutiny' concluded Mr Hawker.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Kunsthalle Detroit, Detroit, MI, USA
For the past two years I have had an extraordinary opportunity to serve as a Board Member for Kunsthalle Detroit, a Museum of Light. I love this museum because it is about people who moved their lives from a comfortable dimension to this challenging work. I love this museum because it is about beliefs, the past, the present, the future, creativity, difference, and charisma. Kunsthalle Detroit creates light-bulb moments and allows space for thinking and experimenting; it connects, explains, allows comparisons, contrasts, juxtapositions that wouldn't make sense anywhere else. I love Kunsthalle Detroit because in today's world of high speed it allows my own imagination to create virtual worlds, rather than rely on someone else's program. It is not a shopping mall or amusement park or video arcade. I love the challenge of trying to use the medium of a museum to communicate a story or an idea. I believe Kunsthalle Detroit is important to the society and specifically to Detroit because it holds and offers unique resources.
