Port Lands Acceleration Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC)
Last week, CodeBlueTO got an email confirming that we have been selected to join the Port Lands Acceleration Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) – see the email below and terms of reference that follow.
SAC is expected to provide feedback on ideas for speeding up development in the Port Lands, as well as on any new ideas for land use and flood protection the Lower Don Lands.
As you know, the Acceleration Initiative arose as a compromise at a Toronto City Council meeting held this past September. The Initiative was discussed briefly at the public meeting held December 12 by Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto. But what the Initiative is intended to achieve is still not well understood.
The first SAC meeting is tomorrow – February 1. We'll be posting information here on the website and sending emails through our email list, to let you know what was discussed and what the work of the SAC will actually entail.
You can also check the official Port Lands Consultation website, which is at http://www.portlandsconsultation.ca, for information.
Our major concern is to make sure that this process unfolds in a way that is transparent and accountable.
We want to ensure that the Acceleration Initiative does not discard the years of work and millions of dollars that have already been invested into the Lower Don Lands Plan.
And we want to make sure that the principles of the existing Environmental Assessment - which include flood proofing the Port Lands and South Riverdale, renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River, and city building - are not lost.
We will also work to ensure that all Torontonians have the opportunity to know about the work of SAC and all elements of the Acceleration Initiative.
- CodeBlueTO
The email follows below:
"Welcome to the Port Lands Acceleration Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC).
Having received responses from the majority of SAC members, we can now confirm that the first SAC meeting will be held on Wednesday February 1st.
We received over 80 applications to the SAC and the final membership will reflect about half that number. Many SAC members are umbrella organizations that represent much larger constituencies. There has been some interest in bringing more than one representative from an organization to SAC meetings and/or bringing observers - unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate these requests. There are two key reasons for this:
- Firstly, Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto worked hard to ensure the SAC membership reflected a range and balance of interests in the Port Lands - both locally and from across the city - and believe the SAC membership reflects an excellent cross section of organizations for a focused discussion of key issues related to the Port Acceleration Initiative.
- Secondly we need to keep the SAC membership small enough to ensure a meaningful opportunity for a rich dialogue involving all participants at SAC meetings. There are several mechanisms that we encourage non-SAC members to use to stay connected to the Port Lands Acceleration Initiative, including the remaining rounds of public consultation, the project website (portlandsconsultation.ca), and through updates from SAC members to their respective constituencies.
Please see the attached Terms of Reference that will guide the SAC's work. The SAC membership list and the agenda for our kick-off meeting next week will follow prior to the meeting."
The Port Lands Acceleration Initiative Stakeholder Advisory Committee
1. Purpose of the SAC Terms of Reference
This document outlines the role of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) for the Port Lands Acceleration Initiative, and includes guidelines for how the SAC will operate and when meetings will take place. This document may be amended as the project progresses. Any amendments to the Terms of Reference (TOR) will be done in consultation with the Project Team and SAC members.
2. Mandate
The mandate of the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) is to provide a forum for feedback, guidance and advice to the Project Team at key points during the public consultation process. The SAC will be a non-political advisory committee. Specifically, the role of the SAC is to:
- Act as a sounding board for the Project Team to share and discuss ideas and findings;
- Provide guidance, critiques and suggestions on proposed study approaches, concepts and materials (including materials to be presented at public meetings);
- Provide a sense of the broader community's reactions and concerns and explore how these might be addressed;
- Communicate the perspectives of members' organizations and constituencies at SAC meetings, and SAC discussions back to members' organizations and constituencies; and
- Provide feedback on any other relevant matters that the Project Team refers to the SAC for comment.
3. Project Overview
At its September 21, 2011 meeting, Toronto City Council unanimously adopted a protocol for the review of development opportunities in the Port Lands. This work is in keeping with the tri-government approach to revitalization of Toronto's waterfront, and is based on the following key points:
- Looking at new ideas for development and opportunities to accelerate progress in the Port Lands;
- Ensuring a robust and comprehensive public consultation process; and
- Acknowledging that the Port Lands represent an opportunity for Toronto to create one of the world's great waterfronts.
Waterfront Toronto, the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority are working together to create a development and implementation plan for accelerating development in the Port Lands. This work includes:
- Further examining options for the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Environmental Assessment (EA) within the EA's terms of reference;
- Identifying financial and policy tools, incentives, and delivery mechanisms that may enable development and offset or reduce the initial public sector investment for required infrastructure;
- Exploring opportunities to increase private sector investment; and
- Ensuring that the plan contributes to city-building and delivers a great waterfront, consistent with the standard set in the designated waterfront area.
While the Initiative will build on the large body of work produced to date on the Port Lands and Lower Don Lands, it will also take a fresh and wide-ranging look at potential challenges and opportunities in accelerating development in the Port Lands.
Waterfront Toronto, the City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and several other agencies have already commenced work on developing an approach to completing the development and implementation plan for accelerating development in the Port Lands. A series of technical working groups have been set up to examine key issues including land use and design, infrastructure and constructability, and real estate development and financing. These technical working groups will be assisted by experts retained through competitive procurement processes and with advice from civic leaders in fields such as urban planning and design, real estate development, economic development and investment.
4. SAC Work Plan
The Project Team has planned for up to six meetings with the SAC over a period of about 6 months. Several of these meetings may be planned as workshops, providing additional time for more in depth discussions and feedback. In addition, SAC members may be invited to review and comment on presentation materials in advance of public consultation events.
5. Membership
The SAC is composed of approximately 40 interested and affected stakeholder organizations representing a balance of geographic and sectoral interests (applications from individuals were not considered). The SAC is not intended to address specific property issues or concerns and consultations with Port Lands area landowners, leasees, and port users will be undertaken separately by the Project Team.
The SAC is comprised of stakeholder representatives from the following sectors:
- Business and Economics sector – having an economic or business interest.
- Community sector – involvement in neighbourhood, resident or community associations.
- Other sectors – involvement in other organizations that advocate on behalf of other interests that may be impacted by the development of the Port Lands.
6. Term of Membership
Membership in the SAC is for the duration of the project (approximately 6 months) coinciding with the commitment to report to City Council in June 2012.
7. Decision Making
As an advisory committee, the SAC will operate using a consensus-based approach, where members seek general agreement on guidance and advice to the Project Team. A consensus-based approach is where participants openly discuss ideas, perspectives and viewpoints, and seek to develop common ground and narrow areas of disagreement to the best of their ability. Where differing viewpoints and opinions exist, these will be documented in the SAC meeting notes.
8. Roles and Responsibilities
The SAC reports its advice and recommendations to Waterfront Toronto, City of Toronto and the Project Team with the assistance of an independent facilitator.
SAC members will:
- Advise the Project Team of their organization's/community's/constituency's perspectives relating to this project;
- Provide advice, feedback and perspectives on proposals/reports tabled by the Project Team, SAC members, or others;
- Help the SAC operate effectively by offering suggestions and alternatives to issues, concerns and problems;
- Attempt to anticipate potential problems and offer options for resolving them;
- Communicate SAC discussions back to members' organizations and constituencies;
- Review all relevant project materials and provide feedback, advice and perspectives;
- Attend the SAC meetings whenever possible; and
- Review the results of SAC discussions to ensure the meetings are accurately recorded in the meeting records, or in additional reports that members may determine are needed.
Project team members from Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto, the TRCA, and other participating agencies will:
- Strive to provide accurate, understandable information to SAC members, such that they can contribute informed advice and recommendations;
- Help the SAC function effectively by providing information, suggestions and alternatives to issues, concerns and problems being discussed;
- Ensure that appropriate Project Team representatives (or other resource people) are present at discussions on specific issues or components of the process;
- Listen carefully to the advice and perspectives of members and, where feasible, incorporate advice into the Initiative; and
- Provide material for review in advance of SAC meetings where possible.
The independent facilitation team will:
- Provide facilitation and secretariat services for SAC meetings;
- Develop meeting agendas in consultation with the Project Team and the SAC;
- Facilitate SAC meetings;
- Keep a record of SAC discussions and prepare meeting records; and
- Post summary reports of each SAC meeting on the project website.
Secretariat services will include organizing SAC meetings, distributing meeting notices and materials, and SAC contact list management. The point of contact for all SAC correspondence is:

9. Meeting Management, Agendas and Reporting
The following procedures will be used in convening meetings of the SAC:
Meetings will be scheduled at the start of the SAC process, and subject to confirmation based on the Acceleration Initiative schedule. The Independent Facilitator may convene additional meetings, or postpone scheduled meetings at the request of the Project Team or members of the SAC, upon approval from the Project Team.
Meetings will generally be held in the early evening, with a duration of 2-3 hours. If more discussion time is required (such as for a workshop), members may consider holding a weekend or extended daytime session.
In consultation with the SAC and Project Team, the Facilitator will develop the SAC agendas and coordinate accompanying materials to be distributed prior to each meeting.
SAC members will be consulted on agenda items for future meetings at the conclusion of each SAC meeting.
The Facilitator will prepare draft and final summary reports from SAC meetings, including action items. Meeting reports will be prepared within one week of each meeting for review and finalization by the SAC. Once finalized, the summary reports will be made publicly available on the project website.
SAC meetings will generally take place at Waterfront Toronto's office at 20 Bay Street, Suite 1310. However, meeting locations may vary depending on the size and composition of the SAC. Flexibility will be maintained and SAC members will be consulted on meeting locations. To the extent possible, meeting locations will be accessible by public transit.
10. Advisors and Experts
The SAC may wish to invite or request additional advisors, experts or members of the Project Team to attend at various points during the Initiative. Considerations will be given to each request by Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto and will be subject to timing, availability and budget considerations.
11. Resources
On behalf of the co-proponents for the project, Waterfront Toronto will provide the resources needed to support operation of the SAC, including: facilitation and secretarial support; meeting venue and refreshments; and meeting materials and supplies.
12. Reporting Relationship
The SAC is acting in an advisory capacity to the Project Team, and is not responsible for the decisions made by the Project Team or their boards or City Council. By participating as members of the SAC, members are not expected to waive their rights to participate in the democratic process, and may continue to participate through other channels.
13. Media Contact
Individual SAC members' opinions are not necessarily representative of the views of the entire SAC. In the event that individual SAC members receive media enquiries, such inquiries should be referred to
Michelle Noble, Director of Communications and Marketing, Waterfront Toronto or Wynna Brown, Manager of Media Relations and Issues Management.
14. Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy
Please note that all information will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act. With the exception of personal information, all information provided through the SAC process will form part of the public record including the names of SAC member organizations.

Tips on Getting Discounts on Expensive Software
Some software are just too expensive for the average consumer. Some of the high end software such as Photoshop or Microsoft's Windows and Office might even cost as much as the PC you're going to put it on. Here are some handy tips on how to get discounts on software.
Get a student copy
Students can enjoy some good discounts off of their university's computer store and some software companies even directly offer lowered prices to them. This even works for non-students if you're ordering online. All you need is a .EDU email address to get student discounts, and with some universities letting you keep access to those even after you graduate, you can keep using this to get great deals from Microsoft and from Amazon Student, among others.
Check out cheap OEM software
Though OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software are made to come pre-installed on computers, you can still get OEM copies from Newegg and other local stores for less than what you can expect from the original. For example, Windows 7 Home Premium costs $199 from Microsoft but the OEM copy from Newegg is only $99. There's not many programs that come in OEM versions but you can still find a lot of discounts.
Look for software bundles
Software bundles are good opportunities to pick up a few programs at really good prices. You should note though that you won't really know when the software you want is going to come out in a bundle, and that each bundle will probably be packaged along with less popular filler programs. You just need to keep your eyes out for a bundle that has a couple of the software that you really want so that the total package is actually worth the money you'll spend.
Follow software developers on social networks
Software companies usually put up sales promos or coupons in social networks like Facebook and Twitter. By following them there, you can keep updated on the current discounted offers they're giving, in addition to getting the latest news about the software you like.
Shop around and use coupons
Software is still a product meant to be sold and bought, so shop around for the best deal you can get. Try using deal monitoring browser extensions and always figure in shipping costs when ordering online. This works best if you really aren't in a hurry to get new software, so you can have the luxury of time to actually find really good bargains on the software that you want.

You can snap down the powder skirt to keep snow completely sealed out at the waist, while soft jersey-knit wrist gaiters with thumb loops create a seamless interface with your gloves to keep snow out at the cuffs. If the temperature warms or you start working up a heat during an intense run, you can unzip the mesh-lined underarm vents to let some fresh air—but not snow—in. To round things out, the jacket has internal pockets for your goggles and your MP3 player or phone, a stylish zippered chest pocket, front flap pockets for storing small essentials, and hand pockets for warming your hands while you're riding the lift or hanging around in the parking lot. Roxy understands what you need when you're out on the hill, while making sure that fashion stays equally in the forefront, so you can be as stylish as you are comfortable.

Kobe Bryant, Roy Halladay and the Helsinki Bus Station Theory
"To field a groundball must be considered a generous act and an act of comprehension. One moves not against the ball but with it. Bad fielders stab at the ball like an enemy. This is antagonism. The true fielder lets the path of the ball become his own path, thereby comprehending the ball and dissipating the self, which is the source of all suffering and poor defense." - Aparicio Rodriguez, The Art of Fielding
Defensive wunderkind Henry Skrimshander, the protagonist in Chad Harbach's wonderful novel, The Art of Fielding, lives by the words of his idol, fictional St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Aparicio Rodriguez (based, it would seem, on real-life Cardinals shortstop Luis Aparicio). "Skrimmer," as he was called, consumed Rodriguez's book (of the same title) as if it were gospel, memorizing lines and recalling them while in the field. The Art of Fielding, for Henry Skrimshander and Aparicio Rodriguez, was more than Yoda-like fielding advice, it was a philosophy.
If Aparicio Rodriguez was based on Luis Aparicio, his book, The Art of Fielding, one would think, is likely based on Ted Williams' The Science of Hitting. In Harbach's fictional universe, Aparicio Rodriguez was the greatest defensive shortstop in history; in other words, Aparicio Rodriguez was the Ted Williams of fielding the baseball. The difference between Aparicio Rodriguez, Ted Williams, and most other ballplayers is that Aparicio and Williams approach the game cerebrally (even if one only did so fictionally). Baseball, to them, isn't a competition of physical tools, it is a science; an art form.
When Roy Halladay was demoted to Class-A Dunedin following his abysmal 2000 campaign - in which he compiled a 10.64 ERA in 67 and 2/3 innings - he found himself depressed; he and his wife were even contemplating whether or not the couple had saved enough money for him to quit the game altogether and attend college.
His wife, Brandy, in the days when brick-and-mortar bookstores were king, found herself in a Books-A-Million, searching for anything which could potentially help her husband and her family. She happened to come across psychologist H.A. Dorfman's The Mental A.B.C.'s of Pitching, and purchased it (and seven other books) for Roy, along with two journals - one for personal thoughts and reflections, the other for professional purposes.
As a young man, Roy Halladay devoured Nolan Ryan's Pitcher's Bible which educated him in the value of a pitcher's work ethic and training to his own success. To the extent that Roy Halladay's struggles were physical, however, they weren't physical - his issues were never a matter of poor conditioning or strength work. Reading Dorfman's Mental A.B.C.'s as an adult exposed Roy Halladay to the mental half of the game.
The book preaches a simplistic approach to pitching theory, focusing on a pitch-by-pitch methodology. Halladay's new approach - combined with his new cutter and two-seam fastball - transformed his career. In the words of his wife Brandy, "The book and [Dorfman] helped his pitching career, our marriage, the way we looked at life in general…. It absolutely saved his career."
For a ten year period, from 2002-2011, Roy Halladay was, without question, the best pitcher in baseball. Worth 60.9 fWAR over that time, the gap between Halladay and the next best pitcher (C.C. Sabathia, 51.3 fWAR) was as big as the gap between the 10th (John Lackey, 34.7 fWAR) and 29th (Ted Lilly, 25.2 fWAR) best pitchers in the league. He was a workhorse in that he could throw 230+ innings every season, but he was also the most economical pitcher on the planet. In those years (not including the playoffs), Halladay threw a total of 31,462 pitches in 2,194 and 2/3 innings (14.3 pitches/inning; averaging just over 7 innings per start), throwing 21,141 of those pitches for strikes (67%). Halladay struck out 200+ batters five times over that span, and five times he issued fewer unintentional walks than games started (three of those also being 200 K campaigns). During those seasons, C.C. Sabathia started 19 more games than Halladay (Halladay, if you'll recall, had some bad injury luck in the mid-aughts), but threw 10 less innings, and 30 fewer complete games.
Watching Roy Halladay carve the strike zone with cutters and two-seam fastballs every fifth day is like watching Michelangelo sculpt the Statue of David in real-time. He is a master of the pitching mound, not only with superior control to throw strikes, but superlative command to throw good strikes. The way he attacks his opponent - always being better prepared, always outlasting them, and never wasting a pitch - is Madduxian in every sense. It's that artistry, that mastery, that consistent dominance, throughout his career that makes his recent performance that much more discomfiting.
I saw Roy Halladay pitch live for the first time recently at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. He was facing the Pittsburgh Pirates, and, for the most part, it appeared as if I would be treated to a vintage Doc Halladay performance. Six of his first nine outs were strikeouts (four of them looking), and the other three were groundballs - this all coming after a leadoff walk to Starling Marte. And while his final box score shows a strong 6 innings and 1 earned run on 1 hit, 2 walks and 8 strikeouts, there were also signs of this being a different Roy Halladay than we're used to.
He received two gifts from the BABIP Gods on two separate John McDonald liners (of all people): one a terrific diving stop by Chase Utley behind second base, the other a ridiculous full-extension diving catch in left field by Dominic Brown. In those six innings, Doc threw an un-Halladay-like 95 pitches, 57 for strikes (60%). In the fourth inning, he walked Garrett Jones on four pitches, hit Neil Walker in a five pitch at-bat, and then gave up an RBI base hit to Pedro Alvarez on consecutive batters.
Everyone's allowed a bad inning, that's not what's upsetting about Doc (though his 59% strike rate this season was a bit worrisome even before his admission to shoulder soreness - small sample size caveats applied). What was shocking about this particular Roy Halladay outing was that, after 6 innings of one-hit, one-run ball, a pedestrian (for Halladay) 95 pitches, and a 2-1 lead, Charlie Manuel pinch-hit for Roy Halladay in the bottom of the 6th, with runners on first and third and two outs. It was obviously the smart play, as the pinch-hitter, Kevin Frandsen, subsequently singled home a run, but the Phillies would be done in by their bullpen. Lefty Antonio Bastardo (who replaced Halladay) gave up a home run to Pedro Alvarez - who never hits lefties - in the 7th inning, and Mike Adams lost the game in the 8th. Did Manuel make the right move pinch-hitting for Halladay? Probably; the Frandsen RBI increased the Phillies' Win Expectancy from 75% to 85%, but Bastardo gave that jump right back, and this was also Roy Freaking Halladay.
Surely the fact that this was National League baseball played in a role in Manuel's decision, but it's tough to think of a scenario in which any of his managers had opted to lift Halladay with his having retired seven straight batters, and sitting at only 95 pitches - child's play for someone like Doc.
The purpose of this, however, isn't to Monday Morning Quarterback a fairly minor decision made by Charlie Manuel in an April baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates; the purpose of this is to marvel at the current stage of Roy Halladay's career - his decline phase where he's being treated as if he were, literally, any other pitcher in baseball. Just two year's ago that would have been Doc's game - there wasn't a chance in hell he'd let Cholly pull him, least of all for Antonio Bastardo. Which isnt a knock on Bastardo; he's actually a fairly underrated pitcher - there are only six relievers in baseball with a higher K/9 since 2011 (Kimbrel, Jansen, Chapman, Grilli, Robertson, Frieri). It is to say, though, that as good as Bastardo has been, a Prime Halladay doesn't get pulled for him in that instance.
Watching Roy Halladay during his prime was watching one of the true artists in the history of the sport at work. He is the Ted Williams or Aparicio Rodriguez of his generation - if The Art of Pitching were being written, Halladay would, at the very least, warrant his own chapter alongside those of Koufax, Gibson, Seaver, Ryan, Maddux, Clemens, Johnson and Martinez.
Roy Halladay in his decline phase could still be better than the large majority of starting pitchers in Major League Baseball; it's entirely plausible to believe that, given health, he could be worth somewhere around 3 WAR a season for the next few years in the same way that Maddux was from 2003-2007. But it's that realization that certain things which came so easily for him not-too-long ago are becoming less and less easy, that realization that his leash is a just a little bit shorter, which places what you've seen him do for so well for so many years - what you've taken for granted for so long - in perspective.
Roy Halladay's recent struggles, with health and with ineffectiveness, haven't led to a decline so much as they have a nosedive from immortality. After considering his last two performances against Cleveland and Miami, I'm starting to wonder whether what I had witnessed first-hand on that windy night in Philadelphia was a vintage Doc Halladay performance, or merely a facsimile of what Doc Halladay used to be; what someone with his cerebral approach to the art of pitching is able to do when attacking a less disciplined foe (such as the Pirates), even with diminished "stuff."
Watching Halladay make Adeiny Hechavarria look like Mike Trout on Sunday - only to be placed on the disabled list Monday, after admitting to feeling shoulder soreness since his start against Pittsburgh - has had me wondering (and hoping I'm wrong) if Roy Halladay is the actualized version of Rookie of the Year's Chet Steadman (minus the mentoring of a 12-year-old): unwilling to accept that he is no longer the pitcher he once was - unwilling to admit to injury - only to blow out his shoulder in the pursuit of one last shot at glory. And it's that which is the most worrisome aspect of this - the idea that, maybe, this is the end of the line for the greatest pitcher of an entire era.
Witnessing a star athlete reconcile their own fallibility on a nightly basis (or every fifth day, in Halladay's case) is difficult for both the player and his/her fans. In a society which deifies its athletes, their inevitable decline in abilities is likely the only thing which reminds us that, while the majority of their feats seem supernatural, they are, in fact, human beings. Even someone as consistently great as Roy Halladay must eventually return to Earth and live amongst us mortals; at some point all of those innings, and all of those pitches, will take their toll on your body, no matter who you are. At some point, everything must end.
In a lot of ways, Roy Halladay's career reminds me of Kobe Bryant's. His prime came in shadows of Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson; Kobe's came in the shadow of Michael Jordan. As he aged, younger phenoms like Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw and Stephen Strasburg have looked to dethrone him as the game's best pitcher; Kobe has had LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Kevin Durant. They both have almost legendary training and workout regimens, and both are masters of their respective crafts.
They're also, both, declining right before our eyes (one, perhaps, more abruptly than the other).
Great NBA scorers aren't all that different from great pitchers insofar that both jobs are predicated on identifying and exploiting the weakness(es) of their opponents. And, since not all opponents are alike, great scorers and great pitchers are required to do so in a myriad of ways. A great scorer is, in a way, a renaissance man; the vast majority of the NBA's greatest scorers on a per-game basis have all been players who have been all able to beat their opposition through different means: 3-point shots, high-post fadeaways, pull-up jumpers, dribble penetration, in isolation and on the fast-break.
A young Kobe Bryant was one of the most explosive players on the floor; he was a former dunk champion back when that was considered a rite of passage for great NBA wingplayers. Young Kobe could beat you at the rim and he could beat you from the outside. He was one of the league's best scorers by the age of 21, but he was never complacent, and was always looking to improve. Over the years he's added various moves and skills to his already vast repertoire: he added the Jordan fadeaway; he improved his 3-point shooting; he added a pump-fake and a few perimeter moves; and he even tweaked the fadeaway to include Dirk Nowitzki's signature leg kick.
Kobe Bryant became a scoring artist. It was never enough for him to simply defeat his opponents with his incredible physical gifts, he thrived on being smarter, on making your weakness his strength.
He hasn't just been a great scorer, though, Kobe has been a great player. The difference between the two is that a great scorer cares about scoring; a great player cares about defeating his opponent by any means necessary. For Kobe, that meant guarding the other team's best player when it mattered most, or playing through excruciating pain; it meant abusing his body for the sake of a win.
As of right now, Kobe Bryant ranks 4th all-time in points scored, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone and Michael Jordan (he trails Jordan by only 675 points), and he ranks 11th all-time in points per game (behind Jordan, Wilt, LeBron, Baylor, West, Iverson, Durant, Pettit, Gervin and Robertson). Kobe also happens to be the only player on either list who spent half of his career as the second option to someone else (Shaquille O'Neal; 6th in points, 20th in PPG). He's third in playoff scoring and 10th in playoff PPG. He's 12th all-time in regular season minutes played, and second all-time in playoff minutes played. He's been a five-time champion, a two-time Olympic gold-medalist, an NBA MVP, and a two-time Finals MVP; he was first team All-NBA ten times, first team All-Defense nine times, and a two-time scoring champ.
Unfortunately for Kobe, coming into the league when he did, and carrying himself the way that he does, only serves to invite comparisons to Michael Jordan (and later LeBron James). If it's at all possible for one of the greatest players of all-time to be underappreciated, Kobe Bryant is underappreciated. He began his career as Jordan was ending his (and was passed "the torch" on national television at the age of 19); he spent half of his seasons playing alongside one of the most dominant players of his era; there were a few years when he was one of the most reviled athletes on the planet (Kobe's rape trial is one of the most bizarre story arcs of any modern athlete's career);* one of the greatest players of Kobe's generation, Tim Duncan, has won four championships and counting (debating who's greater between Kobe and Duncan seems an awful lot like arguing about Magic and Bird); and now LeBron James and Kevin Durant have come along.
*If you'd like to see first hand just how divisive of a player Kobe has been, look no further than Basketball Reference's Elo Rater - a "community based project" which asks fans to rate the greatest players of all-time - where Kobe ranks (as of this writing) at 246th. TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX. That's three behind Kelly Tripucka. They'd be the first to admit that their formula has flaws, but this is beyond anomaly.
There's a theory in the world of photography, first made famous by Finnish-American photographer Arno Minkkinen, that states that the secret to a successful, fulfilling career lies in one's ability to understand the operations of the Helsinki bus station.
There are two dozen platforms at this station, each from which several different bus lines depart. Each bus leaving the station takes the same route for the first kilometer or so, making identical stops along the way. Every individual bus line represents a different career path, and each of these stops, it is said, represent one year in the life of a photographer - or, really, any artist.
After a few years the photographer takes their work to a gallery, only to hear that someone else has done what they've done before; that someone else was on this bus before them. So they get off, go back to the station and board a new bus, only for the same thing to happen a few years later. And then they repeat the cycle, and all throughout their career they're compared to others who came before them.
So what are they supposed to do? Stay on the bus. Stay on the fucking bus.
The key is getting past that first kilometer to the point where the bus lines diverge, at which point any artist who has persevered will be able to create their own unique career. The story, is, in a sense, a cautionary tale against zealously pursuing originality. It's not all that different from Chad Harbach's/Aparicio Rodriguez's The Art of Fielding - let the ball's path become your own path.
Stay on the fucking bus: continue down the same beaten road to discover what lies beyond.
And yet, for Kobe Bryant, it seems as though, after all of these years, after all of those championships - after every accomplishment, and every bus stop, throughout his career - Kobe's detractors have shrugged him off, as if to say, "Jordan already did it."
And it's facile to say so because Kobe has a competitive fire that is truly Jordanesque; it's been his greatest strength as a scorer and player, but it has also been his greatest weakness. All of these games, all of these minutes, all of these deep playoff runs and international competitions - all of those miles - have punished his body. The points and the wins come with a price, and they were a price which Kobe Bryant has been willing to pay for seventeen years.
Kobe's been dealing with various ailments - some more serious than others - for years now, yet through it all he has always remained one of the league's premier scorers; one of it's premier players. Watching him play this season (as Bill Simmons put it) like a designated hitter in baseball - taking defensive possessions off - you start to realize how much Kobe has negotiated his physical limitations over the years in order to maintain his effectiveness on the offensive end; he's been declining for a while, but he's done a great job of masking it. This injury may not signal the end of Kobe Bryant's career, but it is almost certainly a harbinger of Kobe's fall from the NBA's elite. Watching him console Pau Gasol and his teammates after they were embarrassed by San Antonio, you could only get the feeling that Kobe's window not only closed, but slammed shut.
But Kobe has been so much more than just this possessed Jordan-emulator; he stayed on the bus until the wheels - quite literally - fell off. He may not have made it quite as far as Michael Jordan - it's possible no one ever will - but what he has achieved is something wholly unique. What he has created is something entirely remarkable, beautiful and awesome, in the most literal sense of the word.
It appeared, to many of us, as if Kobe had pursued greatness and originality with hawkish fervor, only it has been us who were too spoiled, too jaded, too cynical, to recognize that what we've been watching on a nightly basis wasn't just historic, but sui generis. Kobe's career is almost like Picasso's Guernica: it's a surreal tableau of prom dates with Brandy, dunks and fadeaways, poor rap songs, scoring titles, villainy, ugly break-ups with his co-star, selfishness, redemption, self-applied nicknames, and championship banners that we may never see again.
These were seasons and games and moments which we'll tell our children about: the championships; the All-Star Games; the MVPs; the gold medals; the leap into Shaq's awaiting arms; the 81 points against Toronto; the crossover against Pippen, and the lob to Shaq; the tireless work ethic; the grins and fistpumps and f-bombs; the last second daggers and vicious dunks.
They've all combined to create one of the most confounding and incredible careers in the history of basketball. Guernica may not be the greatest painting we've ever seen, but it is, unequivocally, great.
One of my favorite Kobe stories is when, after a loss to the Miami Heat in 2011, Kobe remained at American Airlines Arena, maniacally and obsessively shooting hundreds of jumpers for 90 minutes. It showed everyone just how much he wanted to win, but he was also sending a message to the two young stars hoping to unseat him as the league's alpha-dog.
When he explained his motivation to Adrian Wojnarowski that night, Kobe quoted Achilles (from the movie Troy): I want what all men want. I just want it more. It's only fitting for a great artist to have met his demise in such poetic fashion.

Playwriting has always been a passion for senior theatre major Megan Ghorashy. Her talents were recognized at the Region V Festival where she was awarded first place for her one-act play, "Final Moments."
The Region V Festival is an annual festival that invites theatre majors from six Midwestern states to compete, perform, and participate in workshops. This year's festival was held in January and hosted by University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Megan and three other playwrights were selected to participate in the festival. After receiving first place at the Region V Festival, Megan's play will now be considered at the American College Theatre Festival. Sixteen plays have been submitted and five will be selected to compete in Washington D.C. at the Kennedy Center in April.
"Final Moments" is about Zoe, a 17-year-old girl, and her family as they live through the end of the world. Megan has written plays since middle school and worked with professional playwright, Kris Diaz, in high school. Megan said her theatre classes at Nebraska Wesleyan have dramatically improved her playwriting skills.
"Our professors give us individual feedback on everything we write which is so helpful," said the Houston, Texas native. "We also get to read our pieces out loud in class. Hearing ideas from my peers helps me improve my writing and gives me new ideas."
Jay Chipman, Professor of Communication and Theatre Arts, is honored to help NWU theatre majors reach their goals.
"It is a very big honor because the playwriting aspect of the festival is one of the most competitive," said Chipman. "It speaks to the high quality of writing of the student playwright. It also reflects positively on what we are doing in theatre at NWU."
Ten Nebraska Wesleyan theatre students attended the festival. Senior Dan Kelly was selected as one of two honorable mentions at the festival for his play, "#hashtag."

A Gary police officer who was hit by a sport utility vehicle fired his gun at the fleeing vehicle, apparently hitting a passenger.
Police say the passenger fled the scene but later turned up at a hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound.
Officer Robert Hemphill shot 22-year-old Jason Stewart yesterday afternoon after the SUV bumped Hemphill and hit his car as it fled a traffic stop near a public housing development. Hemphill wasn't hurt in the incident.
The SUV continued driving away from the traffic stop and hit a fire hydrant and tree, and Stewart and another man ran from the vehicle.
The hospital declined to release Stewart's condition.

From left, silver medalist Australia's Torah Bright, gold medalist United States' Kaitlyn Farrington and bronze medalist United States' Kelly Clark pose following the women's snowboard halfpipe at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, at the 2014 Winter Olympics, Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. (AP Photo/Sergei Grits)
Russia reclaimed its dominance of pairs figure skating by taking the top two spots. Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov won the gold medal, while Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov had a near-flawless free skate to move up from third after the short program and capture silver in front of the ecstatic home fans. Soviet or Russian skaters had won pairs gold in 12 straight Olympics until the streak ended in Vancouver.
One day after Shaun White's disappointing run in the halfpipe, Kaitlyn Farrington of the United States won the women's title, edging defending champion Torah Bright of Australia and American teammate Kelly Clark. It was just the third gold medal of the Sochi Games for the Americans — all of them at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
An Alpine skiing race ended in a tie for the first time in Olympic history when Tina Maze of Slovenia and Dominique Gisin of Switzerland both finished the downhill in 1 minute, 41.57 seconds. They will both get a gold medal — the eighth time at a Winter Games that two top medals have been awarded. Gisin's teammate Lara Gut got the bronze, 0.10 behind the winners.
Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won doubles gold, keeping Germany on track for a sweep of the luge events at the Sochi Games. Their run of 1 minute, 38.933 seconds gave Germany its 10th gold in 14 doubles races since 1964. The sliding superpower has now won 70 of 120 luge medals awarded in the past 50 years.
Sochi was bathed in sunshine and warm temperatures amid the palm trees in the resort city next to the Black Sea. Highs hit 63 degrees (17 degrees C). The heat made life difficult for skiers and snowboarders in the nearby mountains, where local organizers have stored surplus snow, but they have yet to tap into it.
Stefan Groothuis, a 32-year-old Dutchman, became the oldest gold medalist ever in the 1,000 — the fourth gold medal in five speedskating events for the Netherlands. The victory ended Shani Davis' shot at becoming the first male speedskater to capture the same event at three consecutive Olympics. It was a bitter disappointment for a U.S. speedskating team that came to Sochi with high hopes but has yet to earn a spot on the podium.
Norway held the overall medals lead with 12, including four gold. Canada had the same number of gold and 10 medals overall — as did the Netherlands. The United States and Russia both had nine medals overall, but the Americans had three golds, while the hosts had two. Germany had eight medals overall — but six of them were gold.
A controversial goal gave Canada a 3-2 win over the United States in women's hockey — a third consecutive victory. A shot by Hayley Wickenheiser trickled through the pads of U.S. goalie Jesse Vetter, and a video review confirmed that the puck went into the net before the referee's whistle blew. The tense game was a preview of the expected gold medal match.
Norway's Emil Hegle Svendsen and Tarjei Boe have good chances of adding to Norway's medal haul at the Sochi Olympics when they compete in the men's 20-kilometer individual biathlon, one of six medals being contested.

Course Technology PTR The Guitarist's Guide to Sonar Book
As more guitarists begin to use amp simulation software, it becomes increasingly important for them to have a tool to help them extract the most from it - Alfred's The Guitarist's Guide to Sonar is that tool. Designed for guitarists with varying levels of music software experience, this book covers some of the considerations unique to recording guitar with any computer-based system, and then progresses into guitar-specific techniques for Cakewalk SONAR.The first eight chapters are designed to flow in order, but after that, the book is more of a collection of tools and tips that you can dip into as needed. Are you having problems nailing a solo? Then check out the chapter "Perfect Takes with Composite Recording." Miss the sound of that ancient phase shifter you sold on eBay? Then read "How to Emulate Vintage Effects." Not happy with the sound of amp sims? There are plenty of ways to sweeten their sound, as described in "How to Improve Amp Sim Tone."Think of this book as a reference that can help you solve problems, but also, there's a lot of material intended to inspire you to try new and different techniques and get your creative juices flowing.

Gun control
remains a heated topic on Capitol Hill, which is where the superintendent of
the Louisiana State Police was Tuesday night.
Col. Mike Edmonson
met with law enforcement agents from all over the country, including first
responders to the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary, the Aurora movie theater
and Columbine tragedies.
said they discussed just how prepared the rest of the country is to deal with
horrible tragedies like we've seen in recent years.
In a phone
interview Wednesday morning, he said he feels Louisiana is ahead of the curve.
the debates going on about gun control, those types of things that's important
to have that, but more important thing is to sit down in Louisiana," he
explained. "Sheriffs, chiefs and state police and we talk every day about
what's going on. We're very proactive. We believe in partnership and that's
where the public wins."

Vigorously defending the first war launched on his watch, President Barack Obama declared Monday night that the United States intervened in Libya to prevent a slaughter of civilians that would have stained the world's conscience and "been a betrayal of who we are" as Americans. Yet he ruled out targeting Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a mistake as costly as the war in Iraq.
Obama announced that NATO would take command over the entire Libya operation on Wednesday, keeping his pledge to get the U.S. out of the lead fast — but offering no estimate on when the conflict might end and no details about its costs despite demands for those answers from lawmakers.
He declined to label the U.S.-led military campaign as a "war," but made an expansive case for why he believed it was in the national interest of the United States and allies to use force.
In blunt terms, Obama said the U.S.-led response had stopped Gadhafi's advances and halted a slaughter that could have shaken the stability of an entire region. Obama cast the intervention in Libya as imperative to keep Gadhafi from killing those rebelling against him and to prevent a refugee crisis that would drive Libyans into Egypt and Tunisia, two countries emerging from their own uprisings.
"To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and — more profoundly — our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are," Obama said. He spoke in a televised address to the nation, delivered in front of a respectful audience of military members and diplomats.
"Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different," Obama said. "And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action."
Obama spoke as, in Libya, rebel forces bore down Monday on Gadhafi with the help of airstrikes by the U.S.-led forces. His speech was his most aggressive attempt to answer the questions mounting from Republican critics, his own party and war-weary Americans — chiefly, why the U.S. was immersed in war in another Muslim nation.
So far, the nation is split about Obama's leadership on Libya. Across multiple polls, about half of those surveyed approve of the way Obama is handling the situation. A Pew poll out Monday found that the public does not think the United States and its allies have a clear goal in Libya — 39 percent said they do; 50 percent said they do not.
Amid protests and crackdowns across the Middle East and North Africa, Obama stated his case that Libya stands alone. Obama said the United States had a unique ability to stop the violence, an international mandate and broad coalition, and the ability to stop Gadhafi's forces without sending in American ground troops. The message to his country and the world: Libya is not a precedent for intervention anywhere else.
In essence, Obama, the Nobel Prize winner for peace, made his case for war. He spoke of justifiable intervention in times when the United States, as the world's most powerful nation, must step in to help.
"In such cases," Obama said, "we should not be afraid to act."
Reaction to the speech in Congress tended to break along partisan lines, with Republicans faulting the president for what they said was his failure to define the mission clearly.
"When our men and women in uniform are sent into harm's way, Americans and troops deserve a clear mission from our commander in chief, not a speech nine days late," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, a member of the Armed Services Committee and head of the Senate Republicans' political arm.
"President Obama failed to explain why he unilaterally took our nation to war without bothering to make the case to the U.S. Congress."
Obama steered away from turning this into a country-by-country dissection of the Arab revolts that are testing him at every turn. Instead, he spoke in sweeping terms to draw a connecting thread.
Citing a failure to act in Libya, he said: "The democratic impulses that are dawning across the region would be eclipsed by the darkest form of dictatorship, as repressive leaders concluded that violence is the best strategy to cling to power. The writ of the U.N. Security Council would have been shown to be little more than empty words, crippling its future credibility to uphold global peace and security."
The president also sought to address critics who have said the U.S. mission remains muddled.
Indeed, he reiterated the White House position that Gadhafi should not remain in power but the U.N. resolution that authorized power does not go that far. That gap in directives has left the White House to deal with the prospect that Gadhafi will remain indefinitely. Obama said the U.S. would try to isolate him other ways.
He said that the tasks U.S. forces were carrying out — to protect Libyan civilians and establish a no-fly zone — had international support. If the U.S. were to seek to overthrow Gadhafi by force, "our coalition would splinter," the president said.
"Broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake," Obama said.
Left unclear is what happens if Gadhafi stays.
He then raised the issue of Iraq and the move to rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein, a war that deeply divided the nation and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
"Regime change there took eight years, thousands of American and Iraqi lives and nearly a trillion dollars," Obama said. "That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya."
Domestic politics got a nod, too, in a nation saddled in debt and embroiled over how to cut spending.
"The risk and cost of this operation — to our military and to American taxpayers — will be reduced significantly" Obama said.
The president said transferring the mission to NATO would leave the United States in a supporting role, providing intelligence, logistical support and search and rescue assistance. He said the U.S. would also use its capabilities to jam Gadhafi's means of communication.
Obama spoke before an audience at the National Defense University not far from the White House. He has tended to speak and appear more comfortable in such settings than from behind his Oval Office desk.

A humanitarian mission…Gotcha.
"It's a game where the only way for Democrats to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting and voting like Bush-McCain Republicans, while our troops are sent to fight tour after tour of duty in a war that should've never been authorized and should've never been waged. That's what happens when we use 9/11 to scare up votes, and that's why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war." – Barack Obama, 2008
"We're not going to baby sit a civil war." – Barack Obama, 2008
How is it you can remember three years ago?
Please report to the Region 2 section chief for an increase in your "supplement" levels.
Actually Woody, griff sounds scary to be able to remember that 'far back', so the Region 2 Section Chief will no doubt want to give him the strongest possible antidepressants and a direct fluoride injection to his cerebral cortex.
Once done, griff will be 'of the vapid body'…no? : ))

I would love to take credit for having that good a memory, but Organizing for America was kind enough to transcribe all of Obama's campaign speeches for us.
Great post griff and it surely grinds 'dear leader's' nose in his own campaign trail bullsh*t…!

So does this mean if there's an uprising in the PRC (China) and it escalates to a massive Tiananmen Square level of violence on the people throughout that nation, is he and his 'close advisers', and our gadfly SoS Clinton going to order airstrikes and a quarantine of Chinese airspace? / : |
Of course not because our leaders are nothing but running dogs for their Chinese controllers and could give a flying flip less about violence wrought upon the Chinese people other than hollow feelgood protests. So too they know the Chinese General Staff will thoroughly enjoy nuking our arses to oblivion.
What about Malaysia too? There's abuse on the part of regimes going on 24/7/365 worldwide. Seemingly it's time for 'dear leader' to start kickin' their doors and making international arrests on behalf of the everso corrupt U.N. …no?
This is all part of an agenda to destabilize all the nation's along the southern Mediterranean basin then on north of Israel including Syria. It has the high stench of a CIA/Mossad op in order to create greater safety for Israel's western flank and northern border with Syria. There's no fear from Jordan since it's basically a passified U.S. puppet nation. Starting with Egypt's destablization and Mubarak's exit all these nations have come down with a bad case of civil unrest. Stuffing ballot boxes and fomenting civil war is what the CIA and Mossad does best. They're experts in this field and have been doing so since their founding as agencies. The CIA is the personal "button man" for the Office of the President and the same with Mossad for Israel's Zionist interests.
It's time for the U.S., its allies and the State of Israel to plug in newly minted puppets that will provide a greater margin of safety for the Eurozone's oil supplies as well as Israel's greater security.

Because at a time when so many people are struggling to keep up with soaring costs in a sluggish economy, we know that the status quo in Washington just won't do. Not this time. Not this year. We can't keep playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expect a different result – because it's a game that ordinary Americans are losing.
It's a game where lobbyists write check after check and Exxon turns record profits, while you pay the price at the pump, and our planet is put at risk. That's what happens when lobbyists set the agenda, and that's why they won't drown out your voices anymore when I am President of the United States of America. – Barack Obama, 2008
Say again, Mr. President?
Now we are debating who should be our next Commander in Chief. And I am running for President because it's time to turn the page on a failed ideology and a fundamentally flawed political strategy, so that we can make pragmatic judgments to keep our country safe. That's what I did when I stood up and opposed this war from the start, and said that we needed to finish the fight against al Qaeda. And that's what I'll do as President of the United States – Barack Obama, 2008
Thanks griff for your continual supply of these 'sickening' references to his campaign trail lies. It's really hard on myself and my wife and no doubt millions of other Independents that were sucked in by this 'silver-tongued' judas goat. : |

GOVERNANCE IN KENYA: The role of ICTs in achieving good governance
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) hold great potential to transform citizen participation and service delivery tracking and influence government decision-making and execution. Frameworks like Huduma, built on the Ushahidi platform, can positively impact citizen-government engagement and be used as a tool to amplify citizens' voices. However, there is still little empirical evidence on the ways in which ICTs interact with the unique structures and practices characterising good governance. Lately, the terms governance and good governance are being increasingly used in development literature, although the concept of governance has been around in both political and academic discourse for a long time. The cornerstone of good governance involves high quality service delivery, quick and efficient response mechanisms, easy access to necessary resources, and high civic engagement.
Good governance is not yet achieved in its totality in Kenya today. If Kenyans are to attain sustainable economic and social development, all must work together towards this ideal with the aim of making it a reality. The Government must lead other supporting members, such as the local administrators in the different counties, to the individuals who will identify the biggest issues at the grassroots level and communicate these issues to the Government.
Innovations in the ICT sector can extend human capacity and help in attaining good governance. It is important to remember, nevertheless, that such innovations cannot replace human communication. Thus, it is vital to understand the balance between use of such ICT tools and the limitations. Research is needed to understand the participatory value-add of such technology platforms and the real effect on improving governance. This research involves integrating first generation initiatives of E-governance with the mobile platform, thereby leading to M-governance.
The paradigm shift from E-governance to M-governance can leverage the convergence of mobile and communication technologies to usher in a multi-mode approach to delivery of government services. Such service delivery can bypass the need for traditional networks of physical interaction and communication. Bypassing physical interaction has many effects, one of which is limiting the amount of corruption that can take place.
The successful implementation of a sustainable hybrid governance requires supportive ICT infrastructure, government commitment, and active citizenry as shown in the diagram . This can be greatly achieved with the principles of subsidiarity–where matters should be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority–, and solidarity–unity that is based on common interests. If the Government can demonstrate these principles to its citizens by sharing authority with local administrators in the different counties, the citizens must also respond with full-participation and strong advocacy for important community issues. If local administrators across Kenya can serve as hubs to mobilize and engage citizens to participate in government processes, Kenya will have more effective dialogue, reporting, and a greater governance structure.
This opinion piece by Hilda Moraa (R@iHub) is based on information obtained from an "ICTs and Governance in Africa" conference held in Nairobi, Kenya from August 18 – 19th, 2011. Please contact the author for more information.
