This should be an easy win vs LMU.
I'm looking forward to the
rematch against St Mary's. Although St Mary's got the two regular
season wins, the teams look pretty evenly matched. Against St Mary's, I
would start Winder and have him stick like glue to Della.
I was
hoping Rose would address why Carlino didn't play much in the 2nd half of
the Gonzaga game. Was it just because he was ineffective? Or was there some
other reason?
Carlino's play is raising the question of who will
start at point next year. It could be Kyle Collinsworth, which is his desired
position. Could Carlino play better at the 2?

Kyle Collinsworth played mostly the 3 when he was here as a freshman. He's about the same build as Zylstra is. I also think that despite some inconsistencies and the occasional poor decisions, Carlino's passing is actually quite good, and I think he is still better suited to play the 1.

The 3 kids coming in from Lone Peak will certainly add competition for some positions. Could you imagine next years team with the LP boys and Jabari Parker. Oh well, it's fun to dream! Still think the Cougs will win the WCC tourney. There I go dreaming again!

Swedish anti-gay flyers not covered by free speech
Post your comment
Reader comments
Am I the only one wondering why they weren't given time behind bars? They were encouraging hate against another distinct group in society. If this was a flyer against a certain race group the sentences would have been more severe possibly?
We put waayy too many people in jail in the UK. Seems to me theres a load of more imaginative options for non-dangerous criminals to make their amends.
good idea, how do you propose to punish them. maybe take away all their rights as one does with slaves and make them work hard all day with a little encoragement from a wip. whish they would do sometghing like that for all the young people, then let them clean all the gum from the pavements. hard work with no fancy treatment will soon put a stop to all the naughty young people
Sounds good. Whipping shouldn't be necessary mind ;-)
A bill that would ban homophobic incitement in Greece is shelved
It is good to see that not only common sence, but the law prevailed and the the EUHRA was not abused or used in a fashion, that it was not designed for.
Christians are using black propaganda to destroy LGBT people around the world and LGBT people need to wake up as see that the Christian are using propaganda to make gays look bad around the world. Expose the Christians and people who help them push their black propaganda, get their names and spread it on the internet any way you can to expose them and what they say and do and then counter it with the truth.
Ive never understood why the gay community in any country does not take these organisations to court and make them prove publically what they say is true. The most offensive is the accusation of paedophelia (untrue and disproven) but we allow this to be said time and time again. Organise yourselves into a group and take one massive legal action against unfounded slander.These freaks wiill either have to publicly announce their mistake or be shown as wrong but refusing to accept the verdict therfore exposed them for what they really are
These crazed religions actually believe it to br freedom of speech and the right to religious expression. No freedom or religious rights accomplish anything when it incites hate by using false accusations created to give credibility to religions that rely on manipulation of peoples minds. I think religion is being diluted as science advances and those relying on religion scramble to distort reality to prove their god/gods exist. Religion needs to start paying taxes and to be worshipped within the allocated churches they follow. Other than that they are subject to civil based laws just like everyone else.
The purpose of free speech is to promote liberty and equality (and fraternity). The use of free speech to deny liberty to groups is incompatible with this. It is the same as suggesting that incitement to religious hatred or the murder of persons of ethnic groups should be protected. It is contrary to the purpose of this freedom.
I think you're mistaken. Freedom of speech doesn't have a particular purpose, it's a human right. Limits on it are to prevent abuse.
I do not agree. Rights do not exist in a vacuum for no purpose. They are for the benefit of us and of society. We, as a society, promote the existence of rights for our benefit as a whole. They are a (modern) human construct for (modern) human society.

Dear Suzanne Collins,
Please write a prequel to your popular series, The Hunger Games. This prequel should involve the first Hunger Games and how the nation crumbled and came to such a low so as to allow a dictator to separate citizens into districts and demand they send their children into an arena and fight to the death.
These are the things I need to know.

They call them "investors"
Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 23:56. Permalink
Investors in other people's misery.
Investors, meanwhile, can rake in hefty profits. That's because they can tack on fees and steep interest rates, which can amount to 18 percent annually in Baltimore.
In Valentine's case, legal fees and other charges climbed past $3,600–nearly 10 times her original bill.

One of the constant debates regarding the media is where to draw the line about what gets shown on TV. When is something newsworthy and when is it merely sensationalistic? Is it irresponsible to air certain stories? Will certain images have an averse effect on the general public?
With the rise of the reality-TV genre, whatever standards there were in the medium have started to erode even more. Every time a capital offender gets sent up for execution, some pundit raises the question about whether it would be ethical to air the execution on television. Attorney General John Ashcroft upped the ante in that debate last week by making it possible for 250 survivors and family members of people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing to watch Timothy McVeigh's execution on a closed-circuit television broadcast. This has many people up in arms, remembering the "closed-circuit" Clinton testimony that we all saw quite a bit of and wondering whether the same thing might happen in this case. All of a sudden, a public execution might be more possible than we think.
The problem with televisionand the numerous reality shows confirm this most clearlyis that when someone has a camera pointed at him, he feels validated or important. Suddenly, by being placed in the spotlight, his views and ideas are given more credence, no matter what public opinion might be. The old PR adage "any publicity is good publicity" genuinely seems to apply.
You see the contestants on these reality shows who become the butt of national jokes, and yet, no matter how negatively they come off, judging by their performances on these shows, they seem to feel justified as human beings. Which is why the mere thought that Timothy McVeigh might somehow be given the spotlight in his final minutes scares the bejeezus out of me. This guy shouldn't be given the impression that he deserves any of the attention he's gotten.
Assuming you even agree with the idea of capital punishment, execution should only be seen as an act of necessity on the part of the government for the safety of society. It should carry the same weight as putting a rabid dog to sleepit's unfortunate, but it must be done. But a televised spectacle could turn an ugly necessity into a circus that demeans us all.
I realize that the only people being allowed to watch the execution will be survivors and families of the victims, and that this will be aired over closed-circuit "state-of-the-art video conferencing." But even if nobody ends up seeing this but these few hundred people, it sets a dangerous precedent: This could be the first step on the path to publicly televised executions.
I also find this whole development typically hypocritical, coming from an administration led by a born-again Christian. Why is it that the most zealous types always seem clueless as to the foundations of their beliefs? Shouldn't these Christian government officials follow the basic Christian tenet of forgiveness instead of taking solace in vengeance? I would argue that it's psychologically unhealthy to hang your peace of mind on another human's death. Surviving a near-death experience or the loss of a loved one at someone else's hand has got to be one of the hardest things anyone can go through, and yet I still wonder: Can watching more killing really make it any better?
And that's the way it was...
As most of you know, only half of Americans went to the polls last year to vote. Low voter turnout in recent decades is nothing new and usually gets attributed to a combination of voter ignorance/indifference and unpalatable major-party candidates. There's very little we can do about candidatesthat's dependent on the fruitless wish that the two major parties will pull their heads out of their collective asses. But keeping apprised of what's going on in the world is something every American is capable of doing. The problem I have always found is that one of our main outlets, network news, tends to be a bombastic and overbearing affair. It used to be the pinnacle of integrity, with Walter Cronkite sitting at the desk, commanding respect and attention as he went over the day's events for us.
Nowadays, network news is home to hyperbole, with the anchor smug and self-important (Brokaw), bizarre and unhinged (Rather), or Canadian (Jennings). Add to that a sensory overload of graphics and statistics, plus a heartwarming human-interest story, and you've basically got an uninformative half-hour every weekday afternoon. This isn't entirely the fault of the news organizations. The world has become far too complex and glutted with information for a ratings-hungry network to provide decent, comprehensive news coverage.
That's why I'd like to suggest PBS' Newshour With Jim Lehrer to anyone interested in a more low-key, straightforward, and comprehensive daily news experience. Over the course of an hour, Lehrer goes over the day's events in a clear-cut factual manner, then tosses the program to correspondents who interview people on current issues. In the process, the show informs you on the ins and outs of an issue without cutting corners. In the case of the recent Chinese standoff, the show wisely brought in Tip O'Neill, the man who, along with Richard Nixon, brokered most of our relationship with China. Toward the end of the show, Newshour gives us its version of the heartwarming human-interest story in the form of an increasingly scarce commodity: culture. Last week, the show had a fascinating interview with playwright August Wilson, one of our current American masters.
I won't sit here and pretend that I am fully cognitive of every issue, or that some of the stories don't go over my head. I'm an average American couch potato like anyone else. But at least Newshour tries to provide me with facts to suss out, rather than dazzling me with visual stimulation so I'll just forget that I don't know what they're talking about.
Trailer of the month
This week's column is a tad on the dry and serious side, so let me wrap up with a celebration of guilty pleasure. As I mentioned several weeks ago, a trailer can oftentimes be more entertaining than the movie itself. The real coup, though, is a trailer that doesn't hide the fact that the film might suck and still manages to get you excited.
Driven wins this contest hands-down. The commercial for this race-car drama is nothing but a barrage of sensations: flying car crashes, soaring manhole covers almost chopping a driver's head off, Estella Warren's dress billowing up as a car whizzes past, Gina Gershon's lips and swaying hips, and the improbably goofy tag line, "Welcome to the human race."
So what does this tell us about the movie? Well, nothing. We have no idea what the plot is or who the main character is. Sylvester Stallone wrote the script and stars, but the only shot we get of him is his eyeballs. Add to that the fact that Stallone is responsible for penning my all-time camp-crap favorite Staying Alive, and the fact that Driven stars Burt "The Bandit" Reynolds, and you can count me in against all of my better instincts.

The fingers of punta del este
Punta del Este is the true Uruguayan beach resort and unlike Punta Del Diablo is set up with the normal beach high rise buildings and infrastructure to deal with influx of tourists - both local and foreign.
Getting There:
It was an easy trip from Punta Del Diablo. There are 5-6 buses per day that head to San Carlos where you can get on the local bus to take you the last 40 or so minutes to Punta Del Este. It is ...
We make plans so we can change them.
... can officially check "learn how to surf" off the ol' bucket list.
We managed to squeeze in a horse ride along the beach at dusk. We signed our lives away, jumped on the saddles, and trailed off into the sunset. With only 4 of us in the group, the owner of the horses pretty much let us ride the horses as fast as we desired. We squeezed a stop in the forest to share a couple bottles of tannat, the national, high tannin red wine, before ...
Pouring in Piriapolis
... Feeling very smug after that nice meal, we headed to the bus station and made it to Montevideo OK. There I bought our connecting ticket and we waited for an hour to board. There are so many strange people at the station.... Don't talk to strangers, that's for sure! As we got on the bus, a young family sat down next to us with a baby. Uh Oh, it was going to be a long and interesting overnight bus! But thankfully, this was one awesome baby. No crying, it was just interested in being ...
... ready to get outta Dodge.
Piriapolis is a jewel at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata and we enjoyed laying on the beach, sampling the restaurants and even a little swimming. Friends told us it's less crowded than Punta del Este, but I tell you! There were THOUSANDS of people on the beach. Literally thousands.
I'll try to tell a little more with each photo. ...
Uruguay, not just a funny name...
... never seen so many hot girls at the one beach in my whole life. Seriously there was so many girls with long flowing hair and the tightest asses in g-strings/thongs...lets just say we had a good day of people watching and a cold shower was definitely needed when we got home (there may or may not be some photos). The guys have got it very good here...the eye candy for the girls is terrible in comparison... so I'm told.
We also went on a decent bike ride in ...

Former SIUE student fights bid to restore conviction
Attorneys for a former SIU Edwardsville student are asking the Illinois Supreme Court to uphold a lower court's decision to toss out their client's conviction of attempting to make a terroristic threat. The filing on behalf of Olutosin Oduwole comes more than a month after he was ordered freed by a state appellate court.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is appealing the overthrown conviction on behalf of Madison County prosecutors.
Oduwole's attorneys now argue there's no compelling reason for the state's high court to hear the case, and their client's six-year ordeal constitutes an abuse of prosecutorial power and a waste of judicial resources.

Steve Hampton: Figure Drawing: Design and Invention.
I took one of his classes back when I went to art school and he's an incredible professor and instructor. I'd advise people to look through his studies and even buy his book. It's not necisarilly how to draw correct anatomy but to know it while making it stylized. His class basically teaches the mechanics of the body while using imagination.
Seriously, I recommend anyone to attending one of his online workshops. It's kind of pricey but much more affordable than what I paid. Then again I had my own benefits.

Alright, I've talked about things to consider as you're naming your book, and we've also held an event where followers could send in their titles for our brief first impression. I also talked a bit on avoiding clichés in your titles in a recent 250 Words Smash (with some exceptions, of course).
Titles are tough stuff, for sure. Sometimes it feels like a title is one part what we think sounds cool, and ninety-nine parts worrying about what everyone else thinks about it.
But what's even tougher than that?
Series titles.
Now there's the question of birthing a rad title two or three or seventeen times and making every title hold hands with each other. If you plan your books one at a time (instead of roughly or extensively planning out every book in the series all at once), this can be especially frustrating, because you might come up with a title so unique and immaculate that it hurts to look at—but, oh heck, how can such brilliance be replicated?
And, also, what about the overarching series name? There's the type of series name that exists like Sookie Stackhouse – to be placed beneath the title of the book. Then, there is the type of series name that exists like Harry Potter, which is placed above the title of the book.
Firstly, let's take a look at some popular fiction titles with their series names.
Anonymous asked: Any advice on how to brainstorm for plots?
TONS! I'll list some of my favorites, but first, the preparation!
Brainstorming - The Preparation1) Start with a long walk, a run, or some other kind of exercise if you can. Many writers feel exercise makes them more creative, and there's science to back up the reason why that's so.
2) Before you sit down to brainstorm, pick a distraction-free time and place, if you can. Mood lighting, a scented candle, a table fountain—these are all great things to help you feel relaxed and inspired.
3) If you can, pick a pretty notebook and some colored pens, or use a zenware writing program like, Ommwriter or ZenWriter, which can further minimize distraction and get your creative juices flowing. If you prefer using a word document, try choosing a pretty font and text color.
4) Make sure you've eaten so you won't be tempted to get up or snack in the middle of your brainstorming session. It's ok if you want to have a drink, though. A nice hot cup of coffee is a writer favorite.
Ok, onto the actual brainstorming!
Brainstorming - The Process
1) If you're starting from scratch, you might first try choosing a genre that interests you, then make a list of all the things about that genre that interest you. Another option would be to write down your ten favorite novels, then make a list of the prominent details of each novel, to see what story details tend to excite you most. Look at keywords on your list to see if you get the starting point of a plot.
2) Try doing some writing prompts to see if a plot develops. You can find prompt sites all over tumblr. Here are some of my favorites: Writing Prompts, Writing Prompts That Don't Suck, Prompts & Pointers, Photo Prompts, Daily Writing Prompts, and Write World.3) Pictures are a fantastic idea generator. Try going to your browser's image search function and type a word that interests you to see what comes up. Fair warning, though, image searches can sometimes present you with things you don't want to see. You may want to get into the settings and toggle the filters to limit the chances of that happening. You can also search tumblr for pictures that inspire you.
4) Music is a fantastic way to get inspired. Put your MP3 player on random or go to a site like Pandora, and really listen to the lyrics. Imagine the people who are experiencing the things happening in the songs, and try imagining the stories the songs tell into settings and scenarios that interest you.5) Make a random list! Really—set a timer for 30 seconds and write down as many random words as you can think of, then go back through and see if there are any interesting keywords or patterns that inspire you.
6) I know it sounds crazy, but try a plot generator! Usually they come up with implausible or silly results, but sometimes even the silliest suggestions can spark better ideas. Here are some to try: Plot Scenario Generator, Plot Generator, Seventh Sanctum Story Generator, Plot-o-tron, TV Tropes Story (Idea) Generator, Hatch's Plot Bank
7) Read through the 36 dramatic situations and see if anything jumps out at you. This link even picks one for you.
8) Start with your protagonist. If you don't have one yet, think one up. What kind of person has a story you'd like to tell? When you have someone in mind, sit down and just start writing about a normal day for them. Imagine that you are a camera crew following them from the moment they wake up until the moment they go to sleep. Write down everything the "camera" sees. What do they do? Who do they talk to? Where do they go? You can even do little interviews to ask them how they feel about certain things. Very often, other important characters and story elements will start to reveal themselves, which can help you figure out a plot.
9) Go to Amazon.com or Goodreads and pull up a list of books in the genre you're interested in, Pick a random title and write it down, then write what you think the story is about based on the title. No peeking at the real summary! Do this several times, and if a story idea doesn't come to you, you might at least have some interesting nuggets that you can combine into a story idea.
10) If all else fails, try stepping outside of your writing zone to look for ideas. Go do some people watching and see if anyone interesting catches your eye. Try listening to conversations as people pass by and see if anything inspires you. Take a little day trip someplace interesting if you can—especially if you can find someplace that might cater to the genre you want to write in, like a historic site, a science museum, or a quaint little town. You can also see if there's anything interesting in your family history that might give you some ideas. Flip through old family albums or memento boxes for inspiration. You can also try looking around an antique store to see if anything inspires you. And last but not least, if nothing else works, just sit someplace quiet and relaxing and let your mind wander. Imagine adventures you'd like to have, or imagine the story you'd most love to read right now. Who knows? That might give you just the idea you were looking for!
So I've come across a number of people who play characters from London or have a roleplay set in London and are little confused or need help on some of the smaller details. This is going to be a series of quick guides on what it's like to live in London and just hopefully help with some research. This guide contains general information for the United Kingdom, in particular England, but any schools named are specific to London.

If you've never learned the rules of using dialogue in fiction, it can be bewildering when you hand your first short story in to a teacher and get it back covered in red marks. Nevertheless, the rules of dialogue are an essential and rarely broken law, for good reason: without these standards of how to use dialogue, it would be hopelessly confusing as to who was speaking in a story. If you're unsure about some of the unwritten rules for dialogue use, brush up on your skills and read on.
- Rule #1: A new speaker makes a new line.
If you have two characters speaking in a story, it's important to keep it clear who's speaking. Hemingway often makes things challenging by having long back-and-forths between characters without dialogue tags (tags are "he said" and "she said"). That's allowed, as long as you make a new line every time someone else is speaking.
The wrong way:
"I wish I could fly," John said longingly. "Why don't you grow wings, then?" Sarah snapped back.
This is wrong because we don't know it is Sarah speaking until we get to the end of the dialogue. The convention tells us that it is still John speaking.
The right way:
"I wish I could fly," John said longingly.
"Why don't you grow wings, then?" Sarah snapped back.With the line break, it keeps the reader on track, knowing that someone else is speaking.
- Rule #2: Quotes, quotes, and quotes
Even a small thing like using the wrong quotation marks can reflect poorly on your story, particularly if it's being read by an editor or agent. Here are the rules to remember for American standard dialogue use.
Two quotation marks for speech; one mark for speech within speech
"You wouldn't believe how he treated me," said Mark. "He said, 'Go back where you came from!'"
This way, we know for sure who is speaking and whether what is said is a direct quotation or not.
After the jump: rules of thumb for effective dialogue.
- Rule #3: Break up dialogue into two parts
It's awkward in speech to wait until the end of a speech to give the dialogue tag, because then we don't know who is speaking for a long time. Instead, give the first thought, then a comma and tag, then go back into dialogue. That way, your reader will be able to picture who is speaking throughout the speech.
The wrong way:
"I can't believe I failed the test. I studied and studied, but somehow I choked and left most of it blank. I'm probably going to have to retake it," Mark said.
The right way:
"I can't believe I failed the test," said Mark. "I studied and studied, but somehow I choked and left most of it blank."
- Rule #4: Avoid flashy dialogue tags.
Here's a bit of shocking news: your elementary school teachers were wrong. They urged you to stretch your vocabulary by using every big word you knew for dialogue. If you do that, though, you end up with a clunky, distracting mess. Here's an example:
The wrong way:
"You broke my heart!" she screamed.
"It's not my fault!" he growled.
"But you cheated on me!" she wailed.
"I'm sorry — it just happened," he stammered.The problem with this passage is that the tags start overshadowing the actual words being spoken. They're completely unnecessary. They are often crutches in our writing; in reality, the words themselves should suggest the tone with which they are spoken. In fact, using "he said" and "she said" is so familiar to readers that the words blur into the background, retreating so that the main action of dialogue can come to the fore. That's why it's best to keep wordy dialogue tags to a minimum and just use "said" for most of your dialogue. You can also drop tags entirely when it's clear only two people are talking back and forth.
The right way:
"You broke my heart!" she said.
"It's not my fault!" he said.
"But you cheated on me!"
"I'm sorry — it just happened."
- Rule #5: Use action to show who is speaking
Now that you know dialogue 101, you're ready to move on to advanced dialogue. It can still get tedious to have long strings of back-and-forth dialogue. Instead of using "he said" and "she said" back and forth endlessly, use action both to break up the dialogue and indicate who is speaking. If you have dialogue without tags, whoever is given an action afterward is the implied speaker. Let me show you what I mean.
The wrong way:
Sarah stood up. "I love you, John." He shrank away shyly.
This is not technically wrong, but it is very unclear, because the convention is that the speaker is who is given action after the dialogue. In this passage, it sounds like it is John who has said "I love you, John." Here's how you can make it clear.
The right way:
Sarah stood up. "I love you, John." She reached out to him longingly.
As you can see, it's very clear in this passage who is speaking and how her words are linked to her actions. That's another rule of thumb to keep in mind: most of us talk while doing other things. Don't stop the story so that your characters can give soliloquies; instead, give them things to do as they talk, whether it's chopping vegetables or fidgeting nervously.
If you have any other questions about the rules and conventions of dialogue, raise them in the comments and we'll figure them out together.

Funny stuff, literature. With the Charles Dickens bicentenary almost upon us, and me struggling to get out a work of fiction in e-book form, one's thoughts naturally turn to literature.
The other day I was browsing in Hockett's Course in Modern Linguistics — an old favorite of mine. The book is probably out of date by now: My edition is dated 1958. Hockett has some memorable passages, though.
He has a whole chapter on literature, one of his best. From which the following.
Let us, in imagination, join a circle of Nootka Indians [Whoa! The book's dating itself right there . . . ] who are resting around the campfire after their day's work. One old man tells a story, which runs as follows in English translation:
Kwatyat caught sight of two girls. "Whose daughters are you?" said Kwatyat to the two girls. The girls did not tell him who their father was. Many times did Kwatyat ask them who their father was, but they would not tell. At last the girls got angry. "The one whose children we are," said they, "is Sunbeam." For a long time the girls said this.
And then Kwatyat began to perspire because of the fact that their father was Sunbeam. Kwatyat began to perspire and he died. Now Kwatyat was perspiring and he swelled up like an inflated bladder, and it was because of the girls. Now Kwatyat warmed up and died. He was dead for quite a little while, and then he burst, making a loud noise as he burst. It was while he was dead that he heard how he burst with a noise.The individual words and phrases of this story are mostly intelligible, but the narrative as a whole makes little sense to us — we might as well have heard it in the original Nootka. Yet as we look around the fire we note that the speaker is being followed with close attention and interest. The Nootka audience is getting something from the performance that we, as outsiders, cannot get.
I'll say. I wonder what stories these people tell around their campfire?
Math Corner. The solution to last month's puzzle is here.
This month, just a book recommendation. I have a friend who is a keen magician. Not real magic, of course; there is no such thing. He does conjuring tricks, mainly with cards. Here's how keen the guy is: He took a job teaching high school in inner-city Los Angeles just so he could be near to the Magic Castle. (It helps here to know that he has black belts in half a dozen martial arts.)
The name rang a bell. I get a lot of comped books, especially about math, and don't have time to give them as much attention as I ought. That was the context in which the bell rang: The name Diaconis had been on a book some publisher sent me. When I got home I dug it out. It's this one; there's a good review here; and I leave you to discover its delights for yourself.
The math is quite deep — de Bruijn sequences, Steiner points — and the book includes a very touching memoir of the late Martin Gardner. I think it's fair to say, though, that it's more for magicians than for mathematicians. Great fun, nonetheless, and some surprising results, all of which defy the space requirements of my Math Corner.

The extensive menu of Hunan specialties includes the likes of the classic regional dish, pork "Mao's Style" simmered in soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, oil, and stock, then braised to tender perfection. Boasting heat and meat in equal amounts, the spicy-sour string beans with pork expertly combines rich and savory aromatics, vinegary beans, and fragrant pork with tongue-numbing peppercorns. The barbecue fish Hunan-style is a brilliant menu standout. Smaller dishes, like winter melon with seafood soup, round out an expertly prepared meal.

School Matters
Related documents
Knox County school board members Tuesday learned more about the design of a proposed new Carter Elementary School. What they did not hear were specifics on where the money would come from to pay for it.
"There's not enough concrete information," board Vice Chairwoman Karen Carson said after listening to Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett's presentation on the school.
She noted that the school board, when it comes to projects, holds all parties to the same standard: "You need to be able to show us the money."
Burchett is proposing the county sell several of its properties to pay $11.3 million in cash to build a new school in East Knox County. The board would pitch in $2.5 million, for a total cost of $13.8 million.
The mayor told board members he and his staff had identified properties that are "easily in the $20 million range" but declined to name them.
More information would be available in coming days, Burchett said.
If the school board went along with his plan to build a new facility instead of upgrading the existing one, "basically you'll get a new school for the cost of renovation," he said.
On Tuesday, David Collins, an architect with McCarty Holsaple McCarty, laid out the school's design: It would be built for 650 students but could accommodate up to 800, for example.
Natural light would also be incorporated to reduce the amount of energy consumption.
"Our goal is to design the most energy-efficient school in Knox County," Collins said.
Board member Gloria Deathridge questioned what would happen on days when the sun did not shine and also why geothermal equipment was not included.
Collins responded that the architects accounted for cloudy days in the design and the school would have lights. He added that geothermal equipment had been considered but would have been too expensive on the front end.
Board member Cindy Buttry inquired whether technology, such as electronic smart boards, and furniture would be paid for by the county or the school system. These items are not included in the $13.8 million construction cost.
Knox County Purchasing Director Hugh Holt said the county would pay for them.
Holt and Doug Dillingham, the school system's supervisor of new facilities and construction, would oversee the construction contract.
The school board votes in August on Burchett's proposal. If approved, a new Carter would be ready by June 2013, Burchett said.

The Solomon Islands Red Cross says several landslides have affected the Santa Cruz islands triggered by aftershocks from the magnitude 8 earthquake earlier this month.
A Red Cross official, Tim McInerny, says a water purification unit has been deployed to a village where the water source was destroyed by a landslide a week ago.
He says there are many people still living under tarpaulins in the hills who come down to the markets on the coast during the day and return to sleep on higher ground.
He says the immediate need for water, food and shelter are being met, but long-term solutions are now being developed as people try to get on with their lives.
"You can see people starting to get back and pick up the pieces of their lives. Whether that means picking up pieces of timbers that were left over from their homes or starting to take their kids to school as the schools start to open back up again. But there's a lot more work to do in those communities that have lost absolutely everything."
Tim McInerny says more disaster relief support will be needed and an action plan for the next four months is due to be released soon by government and humanitarian agencies.

I've been obsessed with this Anthropologie skirt for quite some time now, but as soon as I finally got around to convincing myself that I needed it, it was sold out. Go figure! I have been on the hunt for a replica of the skirt and found one for 1/3 of the price. Go me!

Viennese Schnitzel (or Wiener Schnitzel) is one of the most popular dishes in the Austrian cuisine. Cooking schnitzels always reminds me of our honeymoon from last summer. We went on a road trip from Romania to Spain and Vienna was our first stop. We spent only a few hours there so our main goal was to visit the city centre including the beautiful Hofburg Palace.
Just as a piece of advice, no one should ever leave Vienna without having a schnitzel! To follow that rule, we stopped at the first restaurant on our way and ordered schnitzels. It was so delicious but that was the biggest schnitzel I had ever seen in my life. I really struggled to finish it but I would go back for another one anytime .
Time: 30 min, Prep: 15 min. Cook: 15 min.
Servings: 6
- 6 veal cutlets (~ 0.6 kg) – you can use chicken or pork as well
- 3 small eggs
- 200 g bread crumbs
- 100 g all purpose flour
- 6 Tbsp milk
- salt and pepper
- sunflower oil for frying
- a few lemon slices to garnish
You need to pound the veal cutlets evenly with a mallet until they are 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick. Then season with salt and pepper.
Lightly beat eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the milk over the egg mixture.
Place the flour in one bowl and the bread crumbs in another.
Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Coat each cutlet in flour and then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat with the bread crumbs and when the oil is hot place the meat in the pan.
Cook the schnitzel a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove from the pan and drain off the excess oil using paper towels.
You can serve it with potato salad, fresh green salad or mashed potatoes.

- If, during the long course of ages and under varying conditions of life, organic beings vary at all in the several parts of their organization, and I think this cannot be disputed; if there be, owing to the high geometric powers of increase of each species, at some age, season or year, a severe struggle for life, and this certainly cannot be disputed; then, considering the infinite complexity of the relations of all organic beings to each other and to their conditions of existence, causing an infinite variety in structure, constitution, and habits, to be advantageous to them, I think it would be a most extraordinary fact if no variation ever had occurred useful to each being's own welfare, in the same way as so many variations have occurred useful to man. But if variations useful to any organic being do occur, assuredly individuals thus characterized will have the best chance of being preserved in the struggle for life; and from the strong principle of inheritance they will tend to produce offspring similarly characterized. This principle of preservation, I have called, for the sake of brevity, Natural Selection. [Charles Darwin (1859) On the Origin of Species]

SCalhoun, 2012, The Transcendent Function
The process of coming to terms with the unconscious is a true labor, a work which involves both action and suffering. It has been named the "transcendent function" because it represents a function based on real and "imaginary" or rational and irrational, data, thus bridging the yawning gulf between conscious and unconscious. It is a natural process, a manifestation of the energy that springs from the tension of opposites, and it consists in a series of fantasy occurrences which appear spontaneously in dreams and visions.
The natural process by which the opposites are united came to serve me as the model and basis for a method consisting essentially in this: everything that happens at the behest of nature, unconsciously and spontaneously, is deliberately summoned forth and integrated into our conscious mind and its outlook. Failure in many cases is due precisely to the fact that they lacked the mental and spiritual equipment to master the events taking place in them. (C.G. Jung; The Synthetic Or Constructive Method, Two Essays In Analytical Psychology, p.80)
In addition to inherent duality of Universe
There is also and always
An inherent threefoldedness and fourfoldedness
Of initial consciousness
And of all experience.
For in addition to (1) action, (2) reaction,
(3) resultant,
There is always (4) the a priori environment,
Within which the event occurs,
i.e., the at-first-nothingness around us
Of the child graduated from the womb,
Within which seeming nothingness (fourthness)
The inherently threefold
Local event took place.
R. Buckminster Fuller, Intuition, 1972, p. 14
Wandering Through Friendship
Many years ago, my three closest male friends were named Bob, Bob, and Chris. I met each of them in Middlebury Vermont sometime around 1976, after I had arrived in Middlebury to work the music desk at The Vermont Book Shop. As it happened, only one of the 'Bobs' was still living in the area when I departed in 1991. That is important because the bonds forged with the three men had everything to do with our mutual proximity, and, eventually, this proximity was attenuated and so became diminished.
As it turns out, over twenty years later, I know how to contact two of the three, yet I've lost touch with all three. One of the Bobs, about whom I will tell of momentarily, I didn't stay connected with right from the moment he left Middlebury in the late-eighties. (Yeah, I should google him!) It was with Bob P. that I first enjoined a discussion about the nature of friendship. After all, we were friends. I forget how it came up and I forget what it was that we discussed, but I do remember having the discussion and also remember our agreeing on two elements: to be known by another is to, then, do the work of knowing one other.
For apart from inquiry, apart from the praxis, individuals cannot be truly human. Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other. Paulo Freire
Another consequential incident happened in 1992. I became friends with my boss, Patrick, and tis dovetailed in an absolutely synchronistic way with me working through unconscious images and the suggestions of Marion Woodman in her book The Pregnant Virgin. This book, for me personally, is the most profound book on masculine psychology. Paradoxically, its subject matter is feminine psychology, and yet its treatment of male friendship literally rapped me a little bit awake, like a Zen master might have done.
From that moment I became a close student of the nature of friendship. I made an experiential inquiry into my own friendships. Because it is my own mature nature to make a study of human phenomena as a participant and observer, eventually I organize my tentative comprehensions and modest understandings into my provisional knowledge of same–whichever subject is in my sight. So, it next becomes possible for me to know, and, articulate, my personal phenomenology and practice of friendship, and these are entangled in what amounts to an aesthetic of friendship.
By the way, I don't lay any of this on my close friends, unless our collaboration in friendship happens to step back into this so-called "meta" viewpoint, stepping back at such a point into a dialog about that which comprises our different viewpoints (or aesthetic,) on the practice of friendship. This hasn't happened betwixt my friends and me, and, paradoxically, I'm sharing this with anybody who happens upon this published description; including friends.
Friendship and a Colorful Symbol
One time it happened is when I explained to my close friend Holly that 'to be a close friend of mine means for me to have entered the most close in circle of friendship and intimacy.'
Obviously this kind of differentiation is not uncommon–when you reflect upon your relationships. She and I discussed what this differently meant for us, being in relationships which could be qualified in terms of closeness and whether or not someone was, in both effect and practice, in our inner circle.
In noting this particular approach, a crucial point to understand is that feeling my way through a human phenomena like this is part and parcel of what I do just in being who I am to be. This point of fact goes along with two elemental aspects that qualify, for me, a friend being in my inner circle: one, such a person has put in the necessary time; two, such a person has mutually submitted to the actuality of each of us being who we happen to be.
The essence of marriage is friendship. The secret of life is friendship. The core of love is being a friend.

Kizzy & Glori, and an Update
Kizzy and Glori, on the bed, and, their being still, in such close proximity, makes this a rare shot.
Lots happening…Susan and I are searching for a house; I'm still remediating vinyl records and packing compact discs after the great water tank leak disaster five weeks ago; matters having to do with our mother's estate; and, to boot, we're in the midst of an election season between Mr. Etch-a-Sketch, and, Mr. Did You Say Hope?
This has ground to a halt: music making, art creating, long phone chats with my co-conspirators, and, plowing away on research about serendipity in human development. And, as it has come about, this last endeavor will turn out to be an echo of the popularization of Serendipity! that has suddenly burst into the scene in a sudden flurry.
Nevertheless, there is always room for the saving feline graces provided by our four cats, Glori, Sassy, Kizzy the Kizzinator, and, Sonny, aka Sonny the Flying Cat.
Sonny note–this photo was snapped in the studio almost three weeks ago. Sonny, who is ten months old, is a lot bigger today. My guess is that he's 20% bigger than Glori was at the same age and may be headed to the a portion of the size Maine Coons can achieve.
Before packing up 18,000+ records and discs, and, after emptying out the basement record library, prior to the excellent Pure-O-Clean coming in to remove the Pergo. I'm still sorting out the damage from the August water tank leak. It is what it is.

Wonderful garden area in front of hotel Nice size rooms Friendly staff A la carte restaurant on premises Close to beach and bus station
The cutest and most charming little hotel we have stayed in. Excellent position, quiet, peaceful, intimate, we were looking for something like this. Food really good and staff extremely helpful and always at your service with warm smile. The most beautiful is the night setting of their terrace; we enjoyed dinner there every night. Rooms always spotlessly clean and very comfortable, this hotel is excellent value for money. Definitely recommend it and if we get the chance to have a holiday next year, we shall definitely come back here.
location was nice
Hotel did not acknowledge our Booking.com reservation. We reserved an extended stay on a Rick Steves Tour and had to move to a smaller room. Fortunately they had a room, but it was a poor one with leaking shower, lights not working. Our check-out staff in the afternoon before we left was great, but some of the other staff were not very supportive or attentive.
great location, restaurant serves excellent food

Stanze ampie e molto confortevoli, vicino alla spiaggia
Vicino al mare
Troppo caro . La stanza non valeva il prezzo pagato.
-La situation géographique relativement bonne : tout proche d'une plage, arrêt de bus à 200m (bus direct pour le centre ville de Dubrovnik car trop loin pour s'y rendre à pied) -La surface de la chambre + le balcon
-la rapport qualité-prix vraiment insuffisant, avec pourtant un beau bâtiment, mais vraiment peu d'efforts, c'est dommage -la propreté inexistante : chambres vraiment sales, salle du petit-déjeuner sale également (vaisselle, nappes, sol, et même la cruche de lait incrustée d'une couche très suspecte...) -petit-déjeuner de qualité vraiment moyenne (céréales mous, pas de vrai café, capuccino en supplément, pain très moyen, etc...) -personnel pas très "pro" (peu souriant, branchés sur leurs téléphones portables) -aucune info disponible sur la ville (même pas un plan de ville à la réception) -nous étions dans une chambre de l'annexe, le balcon donnait sur un immeuble en travaux donc réveil avec les bruits de travaux... sympa !
la situation géographique
le personnel ne tient pas compte des problèmes signalés dans les chambres : TV pas de chaines ffrançaises, chasse d'eau cassée, volets cassés c'est dommage
