Don't Miss This Live eTown Taping!
eTOWN WELCOMES BACK SINGER/SONGWRITER DAR WILLIAMS AND eTOWN NEWCOMER SLAID CLEAVES FOR AN EVENING OF MUSIC AND CONVERSATION AT ETOWN HALL
presented by KBCO
WHEN: January 10, 2013 / 7:00 PM SHOW (6:00 PM Doors)
WHERE: eTown Hall
1535 Spruce Street
Boulder, CO 80302
COST: $25.00 (plus tax and theater fee) / ON SALE NOW
eTown hosts Nick and Helen Forster welcome back long-time friend of the show Dar Williams and eTown newcomer Slaid Cleaves for a special evening of music and conversation at eTown's new solar-powered music and media facility – eTown Hall.
eTown veteran Dar Williams joins us this time on the heels of traveling the world in support her latest collection of recordings, entitled In The Time Of Gods. Raised in Chappaqua, N.Y., and educated at Wesleyan University, Williams spent 10 years living in the thriving artistic community of Northampton, Mass., where she began to make the rounds on the coffeehouse circuit. Joan Baez, an early fan of her music, took Williams out on the road and recorded several of her songs.
With her latest effort, Williams blends her passion for social activism with the complex and mysterious world of mythology. "I'm interested in power right now," she says. "I'm in my 40s, and I'm shocked that the café conversations I had in my 20s—'Somebody has to do something!'— are now my responsibility. I see people who are actually doing things that you always dreamed somebody would do, and I can help make that a reality. So the stakes are higher, in a good way, but you also see the shadow, the reckless behavior, where a person can lose it all in a weekend."
Joining Dar Williams at the taping, will be eTown newcomer, singer/songwriter Slaid Cleaves. When Slaid Cleaves moved from Portland, Maine, to Austin, Texas, at the tail end of 1991, he landed on South Lamar Boulevard, a few blocks from the legendarily seedy Horseshoe Lounge. But as he points out on his new live album, "It was many years of drivin' by before I worked up the courage to come in through the door."
It had been a rough eight years in Austin for Cleaves, having left the small pond of Portland, Maine, where he'd busked and played bars and started the alt-country (before the term existed) Moxie Men, for the allure of milder winters, a fledgling South by Southwest, and a desire to hone his skills amongst the likes of Joe Ely and Lucinda Williams. But with the Americana radio success of Broke Down and subsequent tireless touring of the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and the Netherlands, Cleaves made good use of the 2000s, connecting to audiences and developing a reputation for sincere and entertaining shows.
"I'm glad I found Slaid Cleaves, because my life would have been poorer without him. You'll feel the same, I think, when you listen to this beautifully crafted album. Listen, go to some of Slaid's shows, take a friend, and pass on the news: not all the good guys wear hats."
- Stephen King
More than just a typical concert, each eTown taping is a unique live entertainment event that combines musical performance, information and inspiring conversation. In addition to lots of great music, the event will also feature a special E-Chievement Award story, a trademark staple of each and every eTown taping, highlighting one of the show's listeners who have gone above and beyond to make a positive difference in their community.

The city will install timers on sprinklers at public playgrounds to prevent them from running all day long, the Department of Environmental Protection's commissioner said.
Councilman Mark Weprin, D-Oakland Gardens, had proposed legislation two years ago to prevent public playground sprinklers from running nonstop.
Last week, the DEP and the city's Parks Department announced that the sprinklers were now being retrofitted with timers and activation buttons.
"There is no reason for sprinklers to operate continuously," Weprin said. "With consumers being hit with water rate increases every year, wasting water is a slap in the face to taxpayers."
Currently, most sprinklers in city parks spray from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., while others continue to operate all night long.
Weprin said the city's new initiative to control the amount of water being sprayed out of sprinklers at playgrounds could save as much as one billion gallons per year.
The city will retrofit 24 sprinklers by next summer and up to 400 others by 2017.
"The Parks Department should move forward with this change as quickly as possible," Weprin said. "The cost of continuously operating playground sprinklers represents funding that could go toward schools, hospitals, senior center or libraries."
Carter Strickland, DEP's commissioner, said the retrofitted sprinklers would have two-minute automatic shut-off timers.
A pilot program for the new sprinklers has been launched at Flushing's Maple Playground and Glendale Playground.
Strickland said the new equipment will help prevent flooding during heavy rain and ease pressure on the city's wastewater treatment plants.
"New York City water is one of the city's most precious resources and it's important that we conserve it wherever we can while also enhancing opportunities for New Yorkers to enjoy water outdoors," Strickland said.

Northern Delaware Butterfly Count
I joined Jim White and Sally O'Byrne Sunday for the annual northern Delaware "butterfly count" for NABA, the North American Butterfly Association.
Jim's specialty is actually herpetology: reptiles and amphibians. (He and his wife Amy co-wrote the wonderful book, AMPHIBIANS & REPTILES of DELMARVA, and he's been with the Delaware Nature Society for a quarter of a century. Currently, Associate Director of Land & Biodiversity Management). In fact, he saw four species of turtles during our outing: The Red-bellied Turtle; the Eastern Painted Turtle; the Stinkpot Turtle; and the Red-eared Slider (Same as the dime-store turtles we kept as kids!)
Sally's specialty is ornithology: birds. She's President of the Delmarva Ornithological Society.
But as longtime naturalists, both know more about identifying butterflies than a lot of people.
Anyway, the NABA butterfly count gives us a snapshot of butterfly populations around the country. Over years, you can plot trends as climate, habitat depletion, and mosquito and/or Gypsy moth spraying can deplete butterfly populations. (Although occasionally, we get movement in the opposite direction!)
Our group visited locations in west Newark, southeast of Newark, just off 273, and White Clay Creek State Park.
Pearl Crescents were by far the most numerous butterfly, surprisingly more so than Cabbage Whites and Orange Sulphurs. It looked to be the emergence of the Pearl Crescents' second brood. We observed dozens in one field in west Newark.
The second brood of Eastern Tiger Swallowtails is just emerging; we only saw a few. No Spicebush Swallowtails.
One Monarch and a couple of Viceroys.
But Common Wood-Nymphs - with their eye catching mahogany wings with bright, orange-yellow patches around the eyespots - emerged from fields along trees at several locations.
We only saw one Red Admiral... would've expected more.
In contrast to "butterfly counts" in New Jersey, no Hairstreaks this year. We've seen Gray, Red-banded, Coral, and/or White M Hairstreaks in other years.
Sachems proved to be the dominant skipper with our group.
Another group surveyed a swath of higher-elevation territory near the top of the Delaware--Pennsylvania "arc".
These observers saw the Great Spangled Fritillary (It's amazing how INFREQUENTLY this Monarch-sized butterfly makes it south of the Piedmont Plateau onto the Atlantic Coastal Plain!) They also observed a Black Swallowtail. They did NOT see the Baltimore Checkerspot, the spectacularly patterned butterfly with a small colony on Delaware Nature Society territory near the DE/PA line.
I submitted our Newark-area group's sightings to the NABA (North American Butterfly Association) website...

Sometime today, Mark Richt and Paul Johnson will speak at their weekly news conferences and assess for the world their respective football teams to this point. And if either has actually figured them out, that puts them ahead of the rest of us.
I've covered two Georgia games (Oklahoma State, Arizona State) and two Tech games (Clemson and Miami). I saw most or all of the other ones on TV. Both teams leave me thoroughly confused. Also somewhat dizzy.
Tech has extended its personality changes from half to half (vs. Clemson) to game to game (awful vs. Miami; great vs. North Carolina). So I guess that's progress. At least it leaves a week between games for therapy and makes for easier billing with the insurance company.
The Dogs can't seem to figure out what they want to be: a solid defensive but offensively inept team (Oklahoma State, Arizona State), which makes it easy to dump on Mike Bobo or Joe Cox (or both). Or a relative video game (South Carolina, Arkansas), built for thrills and maybe the WAC, which makes it easy to dump on Willie Martinez.
Bottom line: Both have issues. Neither looks like a BCS bowl team. But if I had to take one over the other right now, I'll take Tech. Here's why:
♦ The Bulldogs are too erratic, too sloppy (minus-nine in turnovers) and still take too many penalties to lead me to believe they have any shot at beating No. 4 LSU this week, or certainly upsetting Florida. Two other games that once looked like gimmes — Tennessee on the road and Auburn at home — now look like potential landmines. And Tech has to be favored to win the last game of the season at Bobby Dodd.
♦ For Tech, I'm assuming the Jonathan Dwyer we saw before the North Carolina game was an aberration, and the one from last week is the norm. The defense is not great and probably won't get a lot better. But if the Jackets run the ball, that keeps opposing offenses off the field. Further, Tech doesn't have a can't-win game on the schedule. The toughest opponent is No. 6 ranked Virginia Tech but that game is at home in a few weeks. The next most difficult game on the schedule is at Florida State, which just lost to South Florida.
The Jackets could always blame fatigue (three games in 13 days) on their worst performance of the season at Miami. I'm not sure what Georgia blames its worst moments on, other than just not being very good. (If Cox had the flu in Game 1, what did he have in Game 4?)
Right now, it's looking like Tech will be the better team at season's end. Agree or disagree? I've put up a poll if you want to vote, as well as comment.
September 29th, 2009
2:19 am
Yesss…..take Tech and shove 'em.
September 29th, 2009
2:23 am
It appears more and more teams are figuring out how to stop an offense that can only complete 3 passes each game. Whether WM will be able to is another story, but I have faith. And Schultzie, in game 4 he had a monsoon, unless you had your head too far up Buzz's arse to see the torrents blowing in.
Regardless, who cares who you'd take right now, all that will be figured out come November in the cesspool that is known as downtown Atlanta.
September 29th, 2009
3:47 am
and then there was just DUMB…….Dawgs will have a better record than Tech, Dawgs will beat Tech. Had Tech played the same schedule as the Dawgs, they would be 0-4. ACC in no way shape or form holds a candle to the SEC and the same can be said about Tech as they stink with a GOOD coach, and the Dawgs are still winning in the SEC with sorry coaches for the most part. I expect I will not be the only one to believe this.
September 29th, 2009
3:54 am
Jeff, you're opening up a can on THIS one!!!
dawgvent.bolgspot.com, figuring out our offense isn't tough…been 'figured out' a long time ago; the challenge is stopping it! Don't be afraid of the big city…the mugging will happen within the white lines of the playing field. The mutts can file a police report after the game! GO TECH!!!
superDawg, we KNOW…. "tek will lose to UNC"…oops! We won THAT game! "tek will lose to whoever they play"….is that better?
September 29th, 2009
3:57 am
drbasic1, you're right….THAT was dumb!
September 29th, 2009
4:11 am
UGA has better talent but is very under coached, hate to say.
But Tech may not necessarily be better come Nov.
Tech does have the added advantage in this argument of playing the weaker schedule.
But either way, I think it will come down to the Governor's Cup to decide who gets to a better bowl. Both seem like either 9-3 or 8-4 teams.
September 29th, 2009
4:12 am
If GT catches the Seminoles standing around the way USF did, it will be great for a road game. Bowden seems ready for the retirement home. I look forward to Homecoming to see if GT can run the ball long distance thorugh the Hokies……must play mistake free ball on turnovers and keep the kicker on the bench 95% of the time. Blair is as confused as Bobby Bowden is.
September 29th, 2009
4:21 am
Who the heck knows? In 2006, Georgia looked awfully inept at this point in the season…and then beat three straight ranked teams (including Georgia Tech) and a good Virginia Tech team to finish the season and ended up 9-4. In 2007, the Dawgs lost to South Carolina and Tennessee early, then went on a tear and won the rest of their games to finish 11-2 and #2 in the country. I have only marginal faith in Willie Martinez and his skills in formulating defensive strategy, but the Bulldogs looked to be developing some semblance of a pass rush this past weekend, and the young DBs who played (Rambo, etc.) looked awfully good. The offensive line had a bad week, but you can bet that Searels will remind them of that performance this week in practice. Caleb King appears to be playing his way into shape; he should have had more carries on Saturday. The talent is clearly there on both sides of the ball. It's just a matter of putting it all together and eliminating mistakes (turnovers, specifically), mistakes which have made three games that should not have been into close barn-burners and which probably cost the Dawgs the first game entirely (well, that and Coach Richt's bullheaded insistence in starting a still-ill Joe Cox). Just like 2006 and 2007, I think the jury is still out on this Georgia team. They could be 6-6 (losing to LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn and Georgia Tech) or 9-3 (losing to Florida and some other team to be named later–take your pick). One thought, though: they have a real shot against a highly-ranked team this weekend versus LSU. The Bengal Tigers are overrated (the offense has been underwhelming, and the defense doesn't look like it has improved over last year's, which Georgia torched for over 50 points), and if Georgia can have one game devoid of ball-handling misadventures, they could win on Saturday. The Tigers do have the reverse deal going with turnover ratio; they are +8, while the Dawgs are -9. If that trend continues, Georgia will NOT win this one.
With regard to Tech, their defense just isn't very talented unless the player you're talking about has Morgan somewhere in his name (Burnett, Derrick). The pass D, in particular, is weak. And the offense cannot make up a deficit by throwing the ball–comebacks must be predicated upon opposing defenses giving up a big rushing play. The offense is okay as long as they are not playing from behind or turning the ball over (remember, the UNC loss last season was more turnover-driven than anything else; Tech actually had over 300 yards rushing in that game). Tech will lose to Virginia Tech and one other team before the Georgia game (take your pick; it's the ACC, and any team can beat any other team on any given Saturday) to be 8-3 going into the season finale. But I'm not picking the result of the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (COFH) game yet–lots of football to be played still, and both teams are too schizophrenic for me to make that call. Who knows which team will show up from week to week? We'll figure it all out in November. But at this point, neither team is BCS-worthy–and I don't think that will change by then for the Jackets or the Dawgs. The preseason pundits were, on this point, correct: Georgia does indeed miss Moreno and MoMass (and even Stafford, to a lesser extent), and Tech does indeed miss its defensive linemen. They are both young teams with great potential, but the potential has not yet been realized for either team. How and when the light goes on for each will determine the teams' relative fates this season.
September 29th, 2009
4:47 am
Guess the Dawgs just got off late shift at the landfill. Tech will have the better season, losing no more games.
September 29th, 2009
4:50 am
"The offense is okay as long as they are not playing from behind"
Um, no and you know it. Just look at the Tech win over UGA. We don't throw bombs, we run 'em.
September 29th, 2009

Enter your comments here
Tech's highschool offense is being stuffed because there are no slow db's and linebackers at the ACC and SEC level of play. They have zero passing attack. Georgia will settle down on the turnovers as Cox becomes more comfortable with the receivers. The d will step up despite the incompetence of Martinez. By the last game it will be not if Georgia beats Tech, it will be can they cover the spread.
September 29th, 2009
5:34 am
To all you idiot UGA fans out there that have been smelling the gas fumes a bit too much, get off the UGA has a stronger schedule bunch of crap. The only team that is viable in that arguement is UF….which ya'll will lose by 28. Nobody else on your schedule is any better than anyone on Tech's schedule. This SEC rules crap is a joke…you have UF and Alabama…the other 10 teams in the conference are the same as every school in every other conference. What a joke.
So cry me a river you pups…biggest baby fan base in the nation.
September 29th, 2009
5:43 am
You're an idiot. To every moron that wants to call the option a high school offense, you show your level of football knowledge right up front. Just sit down or grab some pom-poms there Tinkerbell.

5:46 am
From an unbiased outsider, Bama doesn't play either team this year (unless GA gets into the championship game, which um….no). But, I'd rather play GA than GATech anyday. GA is very elementary in what they do offensively, very predictable…and they don't have any big play guys this year outside of the one receiver.
GATech spanks GA at the end of the year….even though I'll be pulling for the SEC
September 29th, 2009
5:47 am
LOL…………I llove it. UGAG pulls out the victory over a crappy Arizona St team they should have beat by at least 14 and suddenly their the team to beat again……LOL
September 29th, 2009
5:58 am
I agree with Jeff at this point, Tech would beat Georgia. Tech can get down during a game, but Georgia is really erratic. Although I am a Tech fan first, I do wish both teams would step up the remainder of the season. Only the November matchup will tell though.
September 29th, 2009
6:09 am
Spartabama: Maybe so. And Auburn reclaims its total and complete dominance over Alabama.
September 29th, 2009
6:18 am
UGA is undefeated in the SEC and if we had scheduled our usual DII opener, we would be Top 5. Richt is the most loyal coach and has the most loyal staff in the country. Look at all the UGA players in the NFL. Tebow is wounded and look at what we did to him last time he was hurt. We will see Bama in the Dome come December and beat their unloyal Coach like a drum. GO DOGS, SIC EM!

Jeff Schultz,
That takes the cake.
Georgia plays the Number 4 SoS in the nation and Tech the Number 50. Tech besides us, plays only Virginia Tech, after Tech was blown out by Miami of Florida.
Georgia this year BY STARK CONTRAST plays Coaches' Poll Number 4 LSU, Coaches' Poll Number 12 Oklahoma State, Coaches' Poll Number 29 South Carolina, Coaches' Poll Number 28 Auburn, Coaches' Poll Number 26 GEORGIA TECH, Coaches' Poll Number 1 Florida.
Tech doesn't play ANY GOOD TEAMS besides us. And, the ACC is a weak, weak, weak conference and HAS BEEN. And, will be.
For 8 Consecutive Seasons and COUNTING now, Coach Mark Richt has finished RANKED AHEAD OF GEORGIA TECH every year in the Final AP Poll.
The stinky ACC conference has NO GOOD BOWL BID TIE-INS. NONE.
Right now today, UGA is ranked Number 14 in the USA TODAY COACHES' POLL, and Georgia Tech is UNRANKED in the USA TODAY COACHES' POLL.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO ONE saying Tech is FAVORED over UGA, except you.
Jeff Schultz, where did you go to school ?
September 29th, 2009
6:31 am
I don't think the UGA defense could stop a mild case of hemorrhoids right now much less Tech's offense.
September 29th, 2009
6:33 am
heeldawg, why don't you publish that book you just wrote. If I were you though I would take the references about Tech out of it. You are clueless when it comes to what they will do.
September 29th, 2009
6:34 am
We desperatelt need a passing attack. I hope Shaw is back soon or CPJ tries a redshirt freshman now that he is certain Nesbitt does not have the rhythm or the arm. One thing Nesbitt could do is roll and run. Every time he had receivers down field last week running lanes were open for at least 7+ yards – and enough for first down distance.
State will be fired up and has a pretty good team – they were ranked in the top 5 last week. Gonna be interesting to see which Jacket team shows up Saturday nite.
Go Jackets!
September 29th, 2009
6:35 am
Brenda, who are you trying to convince, yourself or the rest of us.
September 29th, 2009
6:35 am
For UGA, there is a lot to be said for pulling out wins in games when you may not have dominated the game. It gives you the feel that you are never out of it, that you can still come back and win. So who knows, are these close games good signs for UGA, or are they bad signs and they will get killed by LSU and FL ? Only time will tell. If I were playing UGA, I would keep my safeties covering the middle of the field. Cox is most comfortable throwing over the middle, and he will throw there, even into coverage. But still too soon to tell on either team, as it is for almost everyone.
September 29th, 2009
6:38 am
Boy Jeff, you have really upset the dawg nation. Seems to me that the leg humpers are concerned that you might be correct. Anytime you bring up the coaches poll or any poll for that matter you are reaching. The individuals who vote do so based on the past not today and the coaches have admitted that they really don't know about other teams unless they are on their schedule. Dawg nation a little cheese with that whine.
September 29th, 2009
6:40 am
Passing attack….Josh was 7 for 11 for 89 yards…just enough to keep them off balance…Tech is not going to through the ball every series…that is just not part of this offense.
September 29th, 2009
6:41 am
both teams have been through their ups and downs,but there is much football to be played that will further define both teams.
if georgia can ever play consistent football without turnovers and tech can continue to improve on defense,it should be a great finish.
it appears the acc has one great team virginia tech and sec has two florida/alabama.they rest are wannabees both tech and georgia have major issues that they both need to improve.
September 29th, 2009
6:42 am
Remember this, the only poll that counts is the one at the end of the year….you have to play the games…and for the last 4 weeks…those Tech haters are batting .250 but the Tech fans are batting .750…3 and 1
September 29th, 2009
6:43 am
I agree with you, Jeff.
September 29th, 2009
6:50 am
As a public service: ignore all comments with the word dawg in the screen name or any of the following in the text – weak ACC, high school offense, Martinez, loyal, SEC rules, etc. and you significantly improve your chances of learning something.
September 29th, 2009
6:54 am
Georgia Tech can't complete a pass. Without ANY threat of a passing game Tech will NEVER beat good, fast defenses. Georgia does not posses a good defense. However, please note what I'm about to say. A good,fast, defense: aka Va Tech will dominate Ga Tech's offense. I believe Georgia is a better team, but their coaching shortcomings could cost them this game, again.
September 29th, 2009
7:00 am
GT has the much easier schedule to finish out and therefore likely to have more momentum going into the game. UGA has more talent, but GT has a bye week to get fresh legs. GT wins because of the momentum and the bye week, not because we are a better team…
September 29th, 2009
7:01 am
Statement from last week: "The UNC defense is good, fast, and big and they will dominate. One of the top run defenses in the country, giving up 52 yds per game." Each week it seems that the team that Tech plays will dominate that offense…you are 1 and 3 in your preditions. I don't mind your dislike for Tech, would rather not have you as a fan, but don't make stupid comments about this team when you are clueless.
September 29th, 2009

Brenda – did some of those fumes get to you while you were cleaning the tub?
September 29th, 2009
7:04 am
You never know. Tech is still learning the system and the mutts, well I guess they are stuck in the mud.
Paul Johnson is still coaching Chan's players and Mark is coaching his players. When Chan's players really catch on, watch out.

You forgot to mention Tech goes the rest of the season playing a basketball schedule, while the Dawgs finish out the season in a football conference.
Taking that into consideration, if the Dawgs finished out the season playing Tech's schedule we'd go to a BCS bowl too.
Your probably right on your assesment though, until the Dawgs prove with their talent that they can play a complete disciplined game, without the mistakes and the dance routine, the Tenn. and the Auburn games look like they could go either way. As for the Gator matchup, the chant "95 North" could take on a whole new meaning.
September 29th, 2009

Sautee Dawg- IF, IF, IF…why don't you partition the ACC and maybe you can become a member and get those easy games and you could go to the Orange Bowl every year. I have never seen a bigger bunch of cry babies in my life. No facts just that big ole "IF". As one blogger said, " IF the Queen had balls she would be the King." You are in the SEC East, you have a top 10 recruiting class every year and you still are not an elite team in that conference. Live with it and stop whining.

Dont waffle Jeffery- you're now solid in the Jackette camp- which as the ajc sportswriters go is no surprise. Lets see how your talking at the end of the year.

Look Dawg Nation, stop wishing you had what Tech has. It is just not meant to be. You are in the SEC and that is the end of it. Now your next step could be to become an independant as Notre Dame and then you can schedule anyone you choose. Until then take what you have an live with it and please stop coveting what Tech has. Good Day.

Jeff, I love your column and you can be hilarious..and today you are truly hilarious. But i do think you may need a vacation if you really believe this crock of crap. Are you required o say something nice about tech once a week or what? Tech over Ga in the long run???? As that jerk St Simon would say hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Now thats funny, I dont care who you are.

If you get run off your own field by North Carolina– humility should be your mantra.

the thing about UGA's turnovers, is that those are the types of things that usually average out over the long haul.
At the rate they're going, they'd finish the regular season at around a -27 ratio.
I don't think that's likely.
So, once that trend reverses, expect UGA to look better.
Both Tech and UGA are going to win 8 or 9 games, and I think that finale is too close to call.

And if you run those average guys off, then you should remember the Miami game!

When you consider that UGA has the best atheletes in the country and Tech has the ones top tier schools did not want, it's disgusting that we are even havng this conversation. Johnson is doing more with less.
September 29th, 2009

Neither team has overly impressed. You are correct in saying that it's hard to figure out either team. One thing to consider about this last game for each team…they both won their game. In the end, that's what matters.
Another thing to consider, though – UGA was expected to be "down" a little after losing two first round NFL picks and our "compliment" to AJ Green, whereas all we heard after Tech's 3 point win last year was how much better Tech was going to be once Johnson got all of his offense installed. Well…….this offense looks just like the offense from last year, and actually looks a little less daunting with more defenses figuring it out. Speaking of streaky, one minute Nesbitt can't hit the side of a barn at 3 paces and the next he looks like John Elway.
I guess Tech was good enough last year for a 3 point win, but if they are just a little off this year, maybe that's all UGA needs to pull out a victory in November. I guess we'll see. As they say, that's why they play the game on the field. You continue to play it in your head 2 months before kickoff, if you'd like.
You can have Tech….I'll take UGA all day, any day!

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic ended two negative streaks while ruining Jason Kidd's first game as an NBA head coach.
Third-year centre Nikola Vucevic and rookie point guard Victor Oladipo both had 19 points as the Magic outplayed the Brooklyn Nets in the second half of a 107-86 victory Sunday night.
It was the second straight win for Orlando, which hadn't won back-to-back games since Dec. 19, 2012, a stretch of 60 games. It also stopped a four-game losing streak to the Nets, who swept Orlando last season winning the four games by an average of 19.8 points.
Andrew Nicholson, a second-year reserve forward, added 17 points and 11 rebounds and Arron Afflalo had 16 points and a career-high eight assists for Orlando.
"That group in the other locker room (Nets) is very impressive, they're Hall of Famers," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said referring to off-season acquisitions Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, and All-Star guard Deron Williams. "If we played them one-on-one, we'd lose. If we come with a collective responsibility approach at both ends of the floor, we have a chance and our guys did that at both ends of the floor."
The Magic limited Brooklyn to 38.2 per cent shooting (34 of 89), outrebounded the Nets 54-42, and allowed only Brook Lopez and Pierce to reach double figures.
Lopez had 21 points and Pierce added 16.
The Nets' backcourt of Williams and Joe Johnson were a combined 5 of 17 from the field and Garnett made just 3 of 11 shots. Pierce was the top rebounder with seven.
"We wanted to dictate the game and I think we did that," Vaughn said. "We made them take the shot we wanted, we got a chance to rebound the basketball and we got a chance to push the ball up the floor, which is what we wanted to do."
Vucevic said the Magic played well on the defensive end.
"We know we've got to just keep being aggressive at that end," he said.
Kidd, who was suspended for the first two games of the regular season because of a drunk driving charge, didn't like his team's performance at either end of the court, especially in the second half. The Magic shot 50 per cent in the second half, while outscoring the Nets 68-48.
"We didn't execute defensively when we needed to and we shot 30-something per cent," Kidd said. "We moved the ball. Guys were touching it, but we missed some wide-open looks and we made those last game (against Miami)."
The Nets, who defeated two-time defending NBA champion Miami on Friday night, were embarrassed by their performance two days later.
"The win against Miami doesn't mean a thing when you come here and lay an egg, which is what we did," Williams said. "We knew they were a young team and were going to play hard. We had to be ready to match their intensity and we weren't. They looked like they wanted it more and that is unacceptable."
The Magic (2-2) used a 17-4 run early in the third quarter to break open a close game. They led by 15 points after three quarters, then Oladipo scored six straight at the start of the fourth.
His last basket was a steal off Williams and a breakaway dunk that put Orlando up 82-61 with 10:11 left. The Nets never got closer than 16 points after that.
The Magic's reserves outscored Brooklyn's 45-30.
Neither team was able to sustain momentum for more than a few possessions in the first half.
The Magic started the game with a 5-0 run and that was the biggest lead of the first half for either team. There were five ties and 12 lead changes in the first 24 minutes that ended with Orlando squeezing out a 41-28 lead.
Maurice Harkless started the second half with consecutive 3-pointers to propel Orlando on the 17-4 run that gave it a 58-42 lead with 7:10 left in the third quarter.
Shaun Livingston replaced Williams and the Nets temporarily came to life, but couldn't sustain it. A dunk by Livingston, a 17-foot jumper from Johnson, his first basket of the game, and an end-to-end drive and dunk by Pierce cut the deficit to 61-52, but the run ended there.
Oladipo scored eight straight Magic points and handed a no-look assist to Vucevic for a dunk that pushed Orlando's lead back to 15 and the Magic finished the quarter with a 74-59 lead.
NOTES: The starting five for Brooklyn will make a combined $81 million this season. Orlando's starters will make a combined $22 million.

1. Don't interrupt. Let the speaker finish what they are saying – and at a speed that is comfortable for them – before formulating your own response.
2. Give the speaker your full and undivided attention. Ignore what is happening around you and block out…
Humans can only handle little information at a time. We process million bits of information at once, but only a very small fraction of those information passes through to our conscious brain.
"CARACAS, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will miss Thursday's scheduled swearing-in ceremony for his third term due to health problems, the government said in a letter to Congress read out on Tuesday."
"On any given day, Dr. Carmen Peralta might shuffle between seeing patients at her clinic and spending hours in the research lab. And as an assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco, Peralta spends hours in the classroom, sharing her utmost passion with students: finding an effective way to reduce kidney disease rates among U.S. Latinos.
"It's an issue that we have to take seriously now," says Dr. Peralta, a native of Baranquilla, Colombia. "The problem of kidney disease will only continue to get worse in the Hispanic population and we don't have any long-term strategies to tackle it."

Twitter is fast, and like most fast things can be dangerous. Toss a hefty and complex legal ruling into the mix and you've got a good recipe for disaster, or at least confusion.
The @AJC Twitter account was among the media outlets that got the healthcare ruling wrong initially. I am told the AJC's vaunted Lord of the Tweet was listening to CNN coverage and got a little trigger happy and hit send on this bit of embarrassment: "Breaking: Supreme Court strikes down mandate that requires individuals to buy insurance."
CNN reporter John King, a huge Newt Gingrich fan, initially described it as "a dramatic blow to the policy and to the president, politically."
Fortunately for Atlanta-based CNN, mortal foe Fox got it wrong too, according to Politico. Bill Hemmer was the unhappy fellow: "We have breaking news here on the Fox News Channel, the individual mandate has been ruled unconstitutional."

Held throughout the historical parlours and back rooms of the Signet Society in Cambridge, MA, ExEc4 featured performance lectures, guided conversations and sing-alongs by artists Theaster Gates, Ian Wojtowicz, John Hulsey and Tomashi Jackson, and physicist/storyteller Ben Lillie. Themes ranged from art history and race to the everyday experience of science to the politics of artificial scarcity. Gates's presentation was accompanied by an "academic chorus" comprised of Martha Buskirk, Peter Galison, Caroline Jones, Robert Moeller and Niko Vicario. Featuring James Hurley on piano.
About Experience Economies 4: Chamber Play
Experience Economies invites you to our season finale event, Chamber Play: an evening of performance lectures and guided conversation. This special engagement with the Signet Society will present new works and works in progress by artists, scientists, and cultural interdisciplinarians in a multi-ring event, dispersed throughout the Signet house.
Theaster Gates: My Bourbon, My Glass Lantern Slides
Accompanied by musicians and a chorus of area academics, artist and Loeb Fellow at the Harvard Graduate School of Design Theaster Gates's performance lecture will draw from 65 glass lantern slides from the University of Chicago library.
John Hulsey and Tomashi Jackson: Experience Economics
This collaboration between artists Tomashi Jackson and John Hulsey (a former Signet member) will create a mise en abyme of exclusivity, scarcity, and privileged access to knowledge within the Signet Society's elite spaces. The work takes its cue from Marx (Groucho…) who claimed that he didn't want to be part of any club who would have someone like him as a member.
Ben Lillie: Science: Theme and Variations
Ben Lillie is a physicist, Moth StorySLAM champion, and founder of The Story Collider. His Science: Theme and Variations, will invite conversations and stories from across the science disciplines.
Ian Wojtowicz: Mirror Box
Around the kitchen table, artist and writer Ian Wojtowicz will string together stories, food, and objects into a "memory palace," recalling stories from Polish Jewish history.
Sunday, May 8, 6-8pm
The Signet Society
46 Dunster Street, Cambridge
Drinks and light food will be served
Experience Economies would like to express special thanks to the Signet Society. We hope to see you there!

We enjoyed the more unique taste to the "breading" on the fish and loved the dipping sauce. We felt that the amount of flour and beer mixture it calls for left a lot of waste, so may try reducing in the future. Would be very likely to make this dish again! (Recommendation: use non-stick foil on baking sheet to help prevent anything sticking.)

The move was expected since the right-handed pitcher was assigned to begin his professional career with the Grand Junction Rockies. The organization wanted the former OU star to learn how to pitch in altitude, but most importantly, work on his third pitch. "I knew their main plan was to develop the changeup, and it's there now," Gray said. The third overall pick has allowed 15 hits, eight runs (six earned) in 13 1/3 innings.

Make a Tote Bag from an Old T-shirt
If you're anything like us, you've found that since becoming a parent, tote bags of all sizes have proliferated around your house. We use them for everything from lunch/snack bags to small-toy receptacles to diaper caddies. And yet, despite the number of totes we own, we always find ourselves short when we really need one. This incredibly easy DIY shows how to make cute bags using cast-off t-shirts.
This short video, created by students in the Make course at Parsons, provides a full demonstration, but the steps are, in a nutshell:
1. Cut off sleeves and neck.
2. Sew shirt closed along bottom hem.
We can also imagine 101 uses for smaller bags made from your kiddo's favorite outgrown tees, and larger bags out of man-sized tees.

OHHH....this would be a great way to keep around those cute kid's shirts that no longer fit the kiddos!!
I can see my little on with a way cute Superman tote bag for his toys. OR...make a bunch and put up hooks in their room for toy storage in these homemade bags!!
I've been meaning to do this for a long time. We have way too many shirts. :)

About: Spokane Valley, Washington
Spokane Valley is located in eastern Washington, just east of Spokane. The area was originally inhabited by the Salish Indians. In the early 1780s fur traders made their way through the area of present day Spokane Valley, and began calling the Native Americans "Spokanes," meaning "Children of the Sun." The two groups lived peacefully together until a Native American chief, Chief Garry, protested the loss of land and joined the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The turmoil did not end well for the Spokanes, who were forced to leave their homes and move to a reservation northeast of the Spokane River.

Police used a Taser on a former Hawkeye football star.
Oskaloosa police say 25-year-old Tyler Sash is charged with interference with official acts and public intoxication following an incident on Saturday.
According to the criminal complaint, Sash was driving on his scooter without his lights on when police attempted to pull him over. Police say Sash refused and kept driving; eventually he ditched his scooter and started running. Sash allegedly hid behind a tree, and when he refused to follow police demands, police used a Taser.
Police also say Sash physically resisted as police placed cuffs on his wrists.
Sash played three seasons with the Hawkeyes and was cut by the New York Giants last August.

Rusk County (WQOW) - Part of a highway was shut down for two hours on Monday to clean up a manure spill.
The Wisconsin State Patrol says a 4,700-gallon manure truck tipped over while pulling onto the shoulder of Highway 8. It happened near Ladysmith in Rusk County. The driver had pulled over to allow traffic to go by before making a turn onto a side road. The weight of the truck on the soft shoulder caused the truck to overturn onto its side, spilling the majority of the load into the ditch. The driver of the truck, a 32-year-old from Durand, was taken to Rusk County Memorial Hospital for a possible shoulder injury.
Authorities said Northwest Sanitation was able to pump liquid manure out of the ditch and from the tanker. The DNR was there to make sure no environmental hazards existed.

Do you wear no shows with jeans? Same concept... we aren't going to work in our suits here, no shows are just fine with pants.
Also, I am in the NO PANTS/SHORTS on the course, coalition. Who needs them anyways? They are too restricting... strictly boxer briefs is my golf style. Oh, and a belly shirt cut off of course.
i wear almost nothing but no shows unless i'm wearing boots. and honestly, unless i'm sitting with my leg crossed, no one could tell either way.
Long socks with pants, no shows with shorts.
Don't mess with the boss. The no-shows may just get lost in the sock drawer. Hide a few extra pair in the golf bag.
I think it's a cool look.

Lunch Recipe: Chickpea Pita Pockets with Greens & Minted Yogurt
Recipes from The Kitchn
Even though I work from home about ten steps away from the kitchen, I have a terrible habit of not breaking for food. Fortunately I've gotten a bit better since setting pop-up alerts on my computer ("eat breakfast!" "lunch time!") and planning for meals like these vegetarian chickpea pitas. They're refreshing, filling, best made ahead of time, and easy to eat. No excuses!
Marinated in olive oil, lemon, garlic, and spices like cumin and paprika, the chickpeas are zesty, smoky, and moreish. To turn them into a sandwich, they are spooned into halves of pita bread (try making your own!) alongside fresh greens, crisp raw onions, and any other vegetables you want to add – tomatoes when they're sweet, crunchy cucumbers, whatever you have in season. I especially like adding ribbons of red-stemmed chard, which add lovely color and texture. Spinach and lettuce are fine alternatives.
Serve the pitas with dollops of minted yogurt (my favorite), feta cheese, or swap the dairy for tahini to make a vegan version. The sandwich is filling but not heavy, so it's perfect for a workday lunch.
Chickpea Pitas4 servings (serving size: 2 pita halves)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cups (or 2 15-ounce cans) cooked and drained chickpeas
1 cup yogurt (preferably Greek-style)
2 tablespoons chopped mint
4 pita bread rounds (lightly toasted or warmed, if desired)
8 cups chard cut into 1/4-inch ribbons (can substitute spinach or lettuce)
3-4 tomatoes, sliced (or equivalent amount in smaller tomatoes)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Parsley and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, cumin, salt, and paprika. Add the chickpeas and stir to combine. The longer the chickpeas marinate, the better they taste, so if you have time, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour and up to a couple of days.
In a separate bowl combine the yogurt and mint. Again, this is better if it sits for awhile, so cover and refrigerate if not using immediately.
Cut pita breads in half. Line each half with chard or other greens, then fill with tomatoes, chickpeas, and onions. Garnish with parsley and mint, if desired. Serve with minted yogurt spooned on top.

This will be dinner tonite: Chickpea Pitas with Homemade Garden Tomato Soup. What's not to love.
I'm such a boring person when it comes to lunch. I have my set staples and to be honest they suck. I will be trying this, it looks fresh and filling and most importantly Guilt-free; (though I may have to reduce the oil quantity by a third or more if I want to stick to my healthy food (read diet) plan). Nice one!! Thank you!
That looks yummy and fresh!I don't like fussy cooking process.And it sounds easy to me.
Had it for lunch today. Loved it, thanks for the recipe.
I love chickpeas! Looks like something to make ahead and assemble for lunch.
Just made this...well actually my teenage son did to use mint and parsley from his garden. It was really, really fresh and yummy...just the right amounts of everything. Thanks!
Does "based on 4 servings" mean that it's 723 calories per serving or per 4 servings? Is one serving one pita?
Thanks and sorry for the stupid questions!

Protesters will continue to move to different spaces in an attempt to maintain the occupation.

An evaluation of an aggression management training program to cope with workplace violence in the healthcare sector
Abstract: Workplace violence is a major occupational hazard for healthcare workers, generating a need for effective intervention programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an aggression management training program. The evaluation design was based on the internal referencing strategy, an unobtrusive and applicable evaluation method that rules out some major threats to internal validity without the need for a control group. On three occasions, training participants completed a questionnaire containing experimental and control variables. As hypothesized, there was a significant improvement in the experimental variables that was larger than the non-significant change in the control variable. We conclude that aggression management training may be an effective instrument in the fight against workplace violence.

"I find several things challenging when I translate Korean into English. One is repetition: Korean novels can meander and repeat words or phrases or parts of scenes, but that doesn't translate well into English. It tends to read like a mistake. And to find the right balance between the author's voice and English literary conventions is fairly difficult. Another is the fluidity of tenses. For Please Look After Mom, there was a lot of confusion among English speaking readers about the chronology of events, especially when a character, in the middle of a present scene, reminisces about past events, and from there, refers to past events that are closer to the present, or even further in the past. The editor, the author, and I, played with page breaks and making new paragraphs and moving paragraphs around before we settled on the final version."
"Singular 'their' etc., was an accepted part of the English language before the 18th-century grammarians started making arbitrary judgements as to what is 'good English' and 'bad English', based on a kind of pseudo-'logic' deduced from the Latin language, that has nothing whatever to do with English. "
(Update: domain expired, have changed link to mirror, thanks Steve!)
"We all know that we refer to a group of fish as a 'school' and a group of elephants as a 'herd.' […] Where did such terms come from — and why are they needed?
"[…] In the very little Chinese I learned as a child, I recall that there are such terms in the Chinese language. These 'modifiers' typically accompany the noun and often refer to quantity or measure. There's a generic modifier ('ge'), but use of a modifier specific to the noun is far preferred. My mother cautioned me that to use 'ge' instead of the specific modifier is a sign of lack of education. As an American-born Chinese, learning Chinese was tough enough without having to learn a gaggle of modifying terms! Perhaps that's why I gave up studying Chinese (much to my later regret).
"So there's an answer parallel with the English 'why' question: to indicate degree of education. But the Chinese language has a much more fundamental reason for having such modifiers."
"Here's an odd question, but bear with me: How would one scat sing in Chinese?"
I particularly like Translating Puns.
"For each character, some element or stroke of the character has been stylized in the form of the object it represents."
"You have two voices when you speak
in English or your mother tongue."
"I have received mail from many people who want me to explain clearly and simply what a passive clause is. In this post I respond to those many requests. I'll make it clear, but it won't be brief; this will be a 2500-word essay. But going into detail is necessary: I can't make this topic simpler than it is, and there is no hope of figuring out the meaning of grammatical terms from common sense, or by looking in a dictionary. Passive (like its opposite, active) is a technical term. Its use in syntax has nothing to do with lacking energy or initiative, or assuming a receptive and non-directive role."
I've been using this for ages. It's really pretty good. Type in a word, hear its pronunciation (sometimes multiple pronunciations). forvo.com is similar, but crowdsourced and for multiple languages, whereas howjsay is the work of a single expert.
