Rev. Peter Gomes 1942-2011: A Personal Remembrance
William Pike - March 2, 2011
The Reverend Peter J. Gomes, acclaimed preacher, best-selling author, and minister to Harvard University for four decades, passed away on February 28, 2011, due to complications from a prior stroke. Gomes was a complex and compelling man who was an iconic figure of the Harvard campus. But beyond The Yard, he was an internationally acclaimed speaker whose rich voice, unparalleled wit, and thought-provoking views on scripture captivated audiences.

The Good Book and the Future of Books
William Pike - December 6, 2010
I made an important purchase recently. I put a great deal of thought and research into my choices, and I plan to use this item for a minimum of twenty years. I was buying something I hope to use almost every day and something that many around the world would envy me for owning. I bought a Bible.

The Jesus Seminar: A 25 Year Quest for the Irrelevant Jesus
William Pike - October 11, 2010
In 1906 Albert Schweitzer first published his famous work, The Quest of the Historical Jesus. In this book, Schweitzer reviewed over a century of research into the topic of who Jesus was in a historical, rather than theological, context. Though certainly not without controversy, Schweitzer's unmatched intellect, along with his personal integrity and respect for his subject matter, made his book an easier pill for even orthodox Christianity to swallow. His work was long considered a culmination of the historical-critical study of Jesus that had begun in the 18th century.
Of course, scholarship concerning the historical Jesus continued on throughout the 20th century, especially in the form of "second" and "third" quests, which sought to delve into the layers of scripture and the setting of first century Palestine. But in 1985 something new came along, something I jokingly refer to as "the Quest for the Irrelevant Jesus." That controversial, colorful movement—the Jesus Seminar —is preparing to celebrate 25 years of pushing the Jesus envelope.

Discovering Dante
William Pike - September 23, 2010
Some time ago I was browsing through several old books, once belonging to a deceased relative, when I came upon one that particularly caught my eye. It was a fine old copy of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, undated, and probably printed in the first decade of the last century. Leafing through its pages I was faced with the guilty fact that somehow, in the course of my education and of my own personal reading, I had never touched upon Dante. Convicted, I vowed to remedy that error.

Moishe ("Jews for Jesus") Rosen: A Messianic Jew Meets his Maker
William Pike - May 31, 2010
"Judaism never saved anybody."
This short statement, itself enough to invite argument and controversy, comes from the grave. It is extracted from a letter by Jews for Jesus founder Moishe Rosen, written for publication after his death.
That event came on May 19th. Rosen, who was 78, succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

John Paul II — Five Years Gone
William Pike - April 2, 2010
In 1999 I first cracked upon a book by Pope John Paul II called, Crossing the Threshold of Hope. The book had, and continues to have, a profound effect on me as a (Protestant) member of the global Christian community.
On the day I finished it, in the enthusiasm of a twentysomething, I wrote in my journal, "This is a book I will long remember. My respect for John Paul II is tremendously increased by reading these sage words. What a time in history to be alive."
In March 2005, I finished another book by the pontiff, Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way. Days later, I would watch, along with millions more, as John Paul II passed from this life to the next on April 2, 2005, five years ago this very day.

The Haiti and Lisbon Earthquakes: "Why, God?"
William Pike - January 19, 2010
The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 was among the strongest and most devastating natural disasters to befall the modern world. It shook Europe literally, but also spiritually. After all, why would God allow such a tragedy, especially one in which many of the victims were in church no less?
Pat Robertson, and others, have wondered the same question in relation to last week's earthquake in Haiti.

More Lutherans in Ethiopia than U.S.?!
William Pike - November 19, 2009
I recently came across a bit of trivia that stopped me in my tracks:
There are now more Lutherans in the nation of Ethiopia than there are in the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States -- the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA).
The Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus, which is the national Lutheran church in Ethiopia, now boasts approximately 5 million members. By comparison, the ELCA stood at just over 4.6 million members in 2008.

Catholic Angling for Anglicans
William Pike - October 23, 2009
In a surprise press conference held Tuesday at the Vatican (and announced by text message), it was announced that Pope Benedict XVI had decreed a method whereby dissatisfied Anglicans could join the Roman Catholic Church while keeping many of their existing rituals -- and for priests, the right to be married.
The announcement, though not entirely unprecedented, took the religious world a bit by surprise, and added new dimensions to the current global Anglican crisis.

Flowers Bloom in February!
Teacher's name: Jack Sheridan and Nancy Mullane
Name of school: Otis Elementary
Location of school: East Boston, MA
What grades: 5
Your nature report:: Notes from the Field (Outdoor Classroom)
Date: February 23, 2010, 1:45 PM Weather: 44⁰F, Cloudy, light wind
School: Otis Elementary School Outdoor Classroom Class: Mrs. Mullane 5th Grade Class
Flowers blooming in February!
Mrs. Mullane, 5th grade class were all surprised when we went out to the Otis Outdoor Classroom and group of students observed this flowering bush (picture on the left) including Mrs. Mullane their teacher and I, Jack Sheridan , Boston Schoolyard Initiative.
Before we went out, the class made a list of what they thought they would observe as signs of approaching spring. But no one predicted that flowers would be blooming in February.
The class went out to collect baseline data for a long term study of "The Science of Spring", which I modified from the free online web program, Journey North. They started by making predictions about what they already knew about the signs of spring and then took their clipboards and notebooks to collect some data in their outdoor classroom and surrounding schoolyard.
Everyone was surprised by the flowers blooming in winter. So I did an internet search about flowers that bloom in winter and was very surprised that there are many flowers that bloom in winter, I just wasn't aware of them. Neil McCarthy, Boston Schoolyard Horticulturalist, said it's a Witch-hazel- probably the Arnold Promise Witch-hazel (Hamamelis 'Arnold Promise').
Have you found something interesting or surprising in your outdoor classroom/schoolyard? Send me a picture and a description and I will let other schools know about your discovery.
Jack Sheridan,

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - United Development Party (PPP) will declare its presidential candidate early 2013. The party now focuses ongeneral elections.
"Without the result of general elections, every political party cannot determine their candidates," the Vice Chairman of the Central Board of PPP, Lukman Hakim Saefuddin, said on Monday.
PPP will wait for the result of the election before considering its presidential candidate. He said the result would show the strongest candidate.
Yet, he cannot deny that Jusuf Kalla was the strong presidential candidate from PPP. Other figures for the candidates are Aburizal Bakrie, Hatta Radjasa, and Anis Baswedan. "Regional branches of PPP propose JK because he is the strong figure," he said.

» TEChnOLOGy FROnTiER nature — think north american electric reliability Corp. standards, e-mail spam management and running the nightly bill process. although these are important responsibilities, they compete for time and attention against the more exciting and value-added portions of the job — namely, the implementation of new technologies that improve the efficiency of the business. at gridPoint, Carlson will be closer to the transformative and innovative and less involved with administrative issues that detract from his true passions. so, what does all of this mean for the industry? Will the loss of more than 100 years of utility and technology experience have an adverse affect on the industry, or will it help to usher in new people with new perspectives who may have new ways of solving both new and old problems? the jury will be out on that topic for quite some time, but business and it alignment, project management and use of new technologies will be the areas most likely to be impacted. When it comes to aligning it with the business needs and managing large and complex technical projects that span multiple jurisdictions and technology platforms, there is no substitute for experience. Utilities will be challenged to ensure that vital needs are met, while simultaneously grooming new Cios. on the other hand, nothing gives new life like a new perspective. Space-based solar power systems beam energy to earth stations. Couresty of NASA launching Space power BeaminG doWn solar // By salvatore salamone This sprinG, pacific Gas & elecTric asked California state regulators for permission to sign a power purchase agreement with startup solaren for up to 200 megawatts of solar power that would be beamed to earth from space. the proposed 15-year contract calls for the power collected by an orbiting space solar power plant to be transmitted by microwaves to an earth receiving station in Fresno. there the energy would be converted to electricity and fed into Pg&e's power grid. Conceptually, a system of this type is highly appealing. it involves placing a large solar array in an orbit above the atmosphere where it can collect significantly more solar energy and does not suffer from weather-related downtime or nightfall, as is the case with land-based systems. September/October 2009 "this gives us the ability to do advanced purchase contracts for baseload energy, energy that utilities can rely on for predictable month-to-month energy generation," said gary spirnak, Ceo of solaren. such systems have been proposed and studied for many years. according to industry sources, nasa and the U.s. Department of energy have spent $80 million during the past 30 years while researching the concept. in the last year, activity in this arena has heated up. the Japan aerospace exploration agency conducted ground tests of prototypes of several components of such a system. the agency aims to put in orbit a solar-power generator that will transmit one gigawatt of energy to earth by 2030. 56 E n E rgyB i z

F1 discussion
Just watched the quali
Both mclarens are looking for good for a podium. So is Alonso of course. Massa imho will be further down the points despite all the home support. As will force india. Redbull and lotus (!) seem not to like this circuit
So is this chance for a Schumi podium ?
Schumacher is generally quite a bit stronger in the race than he is in qualifying, so maybe, just maybe. I have hope.
Kind of funny that for the guy that has 155 podiums, we're hoping for him to make the podium.
1x Mclaren 1x Ferrari 1x RedBull
1x RedBull
Mercedes are genuinely better than Red Bull in Monza, so are Force India, or that at least appeared to be the case in qualifying.
I don't think Vettel will make the podium in tomorrow, then again I was wrong about him in Belgium and I was wrong about Alonso in Malaysia, so who knows.
If Schumacher is still fourth after the first lap, and nothing strange happens to the guys in front, then I think Michael will be looking backwards towards Alonso and Vettel rather than challenging those ahead.
I still see Vettel challenging for the podium (though not the top step) if he can get more out of his tyres than the others like he did in Spa. As for Alonso, if he's still tenth after the first corner, then I think he's out of it for the win. Very often, though, we have seen Alonso make up a lot of places on the first lap due to good driving and good fortune, so if he's P5 after lap one, then anything is possible.
McLarens and 1 Ferrari…
1 McLaren, 1 Sauber, 1 Ferrari…
Am I too late? ;)
@bradley13, well, it's still post-qualy… ;-)

In other news, Steve Jobs recently announced the new iPad 3 will no longer support HTML, citing it as a "buggy, 30 year old markup language that makes no sense in the new social media cloud."As for why Glide isn't releasing its service offerings in a native application, Leka said he didn't think Apple would let it through the company's app approval process. "We were concerned to be honest. I'm not so sure Apple is going to be receptive. A lot of this competes with [Apple's] MobileMe service. We'll see how open they are to us having access to the device itself," he said.

Advanced WordPress Queries, Part 3
Tutorial Details
- Program: WordPress
- Version (if applicable): 3.2.1
- Difficulty: Medium
- Estimated Completion Time: 60 minutes
- Advanced WordPress Queries, Part 1
- Advanced WordPress Queries, Part 2
- Advanced WordPress Queries, Part 3
Throughout this series, we've taken a look at the WordPress Database, executed some simple queries against it, and looked at a variety of ways to read data from the database. As useful as this is, it will only take you so far… especially when it comes to creating your own themes, plugins, or other extended WordPress-based functionality. In this final post, we'll take a look at how we can update existing values in the database and even introduce values of our own!
Security Measures
Up until this point, we haven't worried too much about writing defensive queries to protect against things such as SQL injection. Since we're going to be writing data directly to the database, now is a good time to begin doing so. Luckily, the WordPress API makes this relatively easy.
Generally speaking, queries must be wrapped in a prepare statement and all values that will be inserted into the database will be passed within the context of an array. For example:
<?php $query = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->posts (post_id) VALUES (%d)"; $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare($query, 10)); ?>
Strings are represented using the '%s' token and integers are represented using the '%d' values. So, assuming that you'll be passing these values into the database, you would write a query like this:
<?php $query = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->posts (post_id, post_title) VALUES (%d, %s)"; $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare($query, 10, 'Post Title Example')); ?>
Though this works for the majority of the work that you will be doing, you can go a step further using WordPress' data validation functionality.
Inserting New Values
Inserting new values into the database is especially useful when you have a collection of values that you want to write to the database. Specifically, inserting values is most useful when you're going to be adding an entire new row to the database.
To do this, the only thing that you really need to know is the schema of the table(s) that you'll be updating. In the following example, we'll take a look at how we can insert a new user into the database using a custom role.
Assume that you're going to be introducing the 'Code Snippet' term to the WordPress database. The term table schema consists of the following columns the first three of which are required:
- term_id
- name
- slug
- term_group
We also have to create a relationship between the term and the taxonomy table. The taxonomy table is simple and will require the following values:
- term_taxonomy_id
- term_id
- taxonomy
We'll need to specify values for each of the required columns prior to writing it to the database before writing each query. I've named the variables the same as the columns that they'll modify so the code should be easy to follow:
<?php global $wpdb; $term_id = 100; // note that this may need to be adjusted based on the ID's in your table $name = 'Code Snippet'; $slug = 'code-snippet'; // add the new category $query = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->terms (term_id, name, slug) VALUES (%d, %s, %s)"; $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare($query, $term_id, $name, $slug)); // create the relationship $term_taxonomy_id = 100; $taxonomy = 'category'; $query = "INSERT INTO $wpdb->term_taxonomy (term_taxonomy_id, term_id, taxonomy) VALUES (%d, %d, %s)"; $wpdb->query($wpdb->prepare($query, $term_taxonomy_id, $term_id, $taxonomy)); ?>
At this point, you can load up your database front end and you should be able to see the new record in the database. Alternatively, you should be able to view the new category in your Categories screen in the WordPress administration area.
Updating Existing Values
Updating existing values in the database is similar to inserting records but can be used just to change a single (or a subset) or values. Updating records typically follows two specific scenarios:
For example, let's assume that you want to change the title of the very first post in the database:
<?php global $wpdb; // Custom Keywords and Link Option Test $wpdb->update("$wpdb->posts", array('post_title' => 'First Post!'), array('ID' => 645)); ?>
Another example would be updating multiple rows within a single query. Case in point, let's say that you want to convert all of your post tags to categories. You'll need to locate all of the term_taxonomy_id's that have the taxonomy of 'post_tag' and update their taxonomy to category.
Note that I recommend running this only in development because it will modify your existing tag structure:
<?php global $wpdb; $wpdb->update("$wpdb->term_taxonomy", array('taxonomy' => 'category_demo'), array('taxonomy' => 'post_tag')); ?>
Simple (but powerful), right?
As a general rule of thumb, if I can update a value from within the WordPress administration options then I will do so there. I only run update queries within the context of a theme or plugin when I need to modify some data that's not easily accessible via the user interface.
Moving Forward
At this point, we've covered the WordPress database, the ways in which we can read a value (or values), updating existing records, and inserting new records all by writing a few lines of code.
From here, you should be able to take your theme and plugin development to the next level.

Medical components of the Village Screening Clinic fit into a car trunk for travel to rural areas
Goal: $2,899 set up per clinic
About this Mission Project
It is hot and muggy in Durban, South Africa. The slight scent of sewage and urine permeates the air amongst the tin and scrap wood shack settlement. This is where Tembi, an energetic and resilient 18 year-old, lives with her year-old son. Without a formal education or skills, Tembi has lived on state welfare and informal prostitution.
Last year a village screening clinic was set up in a small Baptist church near Tembi's home. Church members, trained in health screening by missionary doctors, Anita and Rick Gutierrez, staff the clinic. Tembi was tested for HIV/AIDS at the clinic and directed toward treatment. Clinic staff also discovered that more than half of those tested had diabetes, and many had high blood pressure.
Tembi found new life through the healing ministry of this Baptist church. She joined the church, and she now supports her son by cleaning houses. Tembi has a good hope that her child will have his mother for many more years.
Mission Project Specifics
This project seeks to raise $2,899 per medical screening clinic, or a total of $14,496 annually for the next three years to purchase medical components and other equipment for five complete portable rural village screening clinics. The purpose is to provide preventive health screening and education for some 12,500 people annually.
This project will be managed by Drs. Anita and Rick Gutierrez, American Baptist missionaries in South Africa. It is anticipated that this project will improve the overall health and longevity in five rural or slum areas.
Connect to this Mission Project
• Pray with Anita and Rick Gutierrez and their partners in South Africa that these portable village health screening clinics will take health services, teaching and the Gospel into hard to reach places and help needy people.
• Share this information with others in your community and in your church family.
Other items totaling $2,899 required to set-up one rural clinic include:
8 DVD players and portable amp system - $1,567 (patient education)
2 large outdoor gazebo tents. - $405 (one tent for waiting room; the other for exam)
18 folding chairs for waiting room - $292
2 portable tables - $270
2 halogen lamp headlights - $108
200 DVD discs (for local health builders) - $135
Extension cords & surge protectors - $122
Total to set up one rural clinic = $2,899

Sushi by iPad
At Chojiro, in central Kyoto, you don't have to worry about not knowing a word of Japanese when ordering your lunch. It's done on an iPad! Just tap the food that looks most delicious.
Despite all the talk about Japan being expensive, the sushi lunch I got here for 1500 yen (less than $20) included chawanmushi (egg custard with seafood and mushrooms), salad, miso soup AND dessert! Oh, and some of the tastiest sushi I had in Japan. Perfect.

Let Them Play
I grew up playing sports, and I believe they teach children communication skills, work ethic and perseverance. Each week, I witness the power they have to bring cultures together, instill character and teach basic concepts to children when I volunteer with a recreation program in a refugee community outside Atlanta. By Friday night, explaining a game of kickball to kids who barely speak English after they've sat in a classroom all week is near impossible.
Rather than try to explain the rules and objective of a game like kickball to the kids, I ask them questions as we run the bases together and role-play to learn the game as well as things as basic as right and left. The need for this type of instruction is probably obvious when learning a new sport, but organizations like Sport sans Frontieres in Haiti are proving the effectiveness of experiential learning by using sports to teach kids life-saving concepts in case of future disasters like the 2010 earthquake.
"Our methodology, based on games, helps children to better take in these lessons than when in front of a blackboard in school," says Aurelie Peter-Contesse with SSF. "Here they have to move, act and discuss the issues themselves, not just listen."
Why do we think we're any different once we grow up? Event professionals are starting to get the picture, changing up classroom formats and trying out gaming techniques to improve learning. Yet for the most part, we still expect kids of all ages (read: including grown-ups) to sit in lecture-style sessions to absorb huge quantities of information. Recent statistics show that attention spans have dropped from 12 minutes to 5 minutes in the past decade, so the need to engage participants in more compelling ways may be getting even greater.
Are there any grown-up games you can incorporate into your meetings?

"Let Them Play"
Great example with kickball. Just got back from a mission trip to Uganda where we worked at 2 different orphanages. At both places we taught the kids how to play kickball and foursquare. Some of the results were hilarious for us all!
When I introduce new spouses to military terminology I write the acronym or the phrase on a beach ball and toss it around the room. When they catch the ball, they have to repeat and explain the term or acronym their hand touches before they can pass off the ball. It let's everyone engage the information, it's random in what information they encounter and it let's down the walls of fear since it's just a game and not a structured setting.

TO: UC San Diego Health System Employees
FROM: Paul Viviano, Chief Executive Officer
DATE: November 7, 2012
SUBJECT: Health System Update
I have had the privilege of serving as your Chief Executive Officer since June 1. During this time, I have enjoyed getting to know many of you personally and I am so impressed with your commitment to UC San Diego Health System and your dedication to providing the highest quality patient- and family-centered care.
Over the past five years, we have seen spectacular systemwide results, in large part due to our 2007 Clinical Strategic Plan. We have achieved stellar clinical outcomes as indicated by the numerous quality and patient safety awards we have recently received—something that we should all be proud of. Additionally, we have recruited excellent faculty and staff, invested in facilities, and seen tremendous growth in our clinical service lines. Our leadership is committed to our mission—clinical care, research and education, and will continue to work together to build a world-class academic health system.
Due to our strong track record and success, we have the confidence and foundation to move forward with the development of a new Health System Strategic Plan for the next five years. Our goal is to create a culture of performance improvement that complements our existing culture of quality and patient-centered care. To achieve this, we initiated Project Helix which is composed of four key components: Health System Strategic Plan, Operational Excellence Council (OEC), Philanthropy, and Organizational Alignment and Development. The entire Health System leadership team, including faculty leaders, supports this initiative and I would like to share some details with you now.
On November 1, we began our strategic planning efforts to evaluate our current plan, as well as develop a revised five-year Health System Strategic Plan that includes the Medical Group and the clinical components of the School of Medicine academic departments. We believe this is necessary in light of the many significant and evolving external and internal challenges and opportunities facing the Health System today. A steering committee, overseen by Drs. Brenner and me, will direct workgroups on areas of significance that emerge during our planning process. The foundation for our Strategic Plan will be a refreshed mission, vision and value statement that is based upon the focus groups and our survey that so many of you graciously participated in.
Secondly, our new Operational Excellence Council is focused on short-term revenue and volume gains, operational efficiencies, patient access and experience, and process improvement.
Philanthropy efforts are now focused on new fundraising goals and a timeline to support the construction of UC San Diego Jacobs Medical Center. As JMC will transform our La Jolla campus, help us to attract faculty and patients, and enhance how we are perceived by both patients and health plans, I am asking everyone within our organization to commit 75 percent of their fundraising efforts to this project.
To better align UC San Diego Health System with the School of Medicine, we are redefining our organizational structure, increasing physician leadership engagement, and implementing a new committee structure. An Executive Committee, chaired by me, is composed of School of Medicine, Medical Group and Health System leadership. The Executive Committee will oversee all clinical components of UCSD and will also provide oversight to the councils that represent the four main service lines—Cancer, Cardiology, Surgery, and Women and Infants, as well as others to be determined during the strategic planning process.
I am excited about the future of our great organization and am respectfully seeking everyone's support as we develop a culture of performance improvement alongside of our existing culture of superior quality and patient-centered clinical care. I am confident that we will create a better place for all of us to work. By continuously improving quality, efficiency, access and our patient experience, while expanding and growing our clinical service lines, we will bring value to our organization and patients, and become a successful, simplified and sustainable organization.
I will be holding Town Halls in February in La Jolla and Hillcrest to keep you apprised of our efforts.
Thank you again for all of your hard work, commitment and care of our patients—our progress is nothing short of remarkable and this is just the beginning!
Warmest regards,

With its 'hard work' culture, China has managed to build cities and buildings in timeframes never before achieved, setting the foundations for a truly successful industry.
Now, the country has taken that same dedication and applied it to green building initiatives after making a firm commitment to carbon cutting goals. Since China's stringent carbon emissions reduction targets were released, the Chinese industry has come forth with a plethora of proposals and completed projects that boast high green credentials.
If initial details of the country's next major project hold true, this streak of green ambition is set to continue.
The Haitbang Bay International Shopping Center, located in Sanya, Hainan Island, has been designed by French practice VOLODE ET PISTRE ARCHITECTE, who won an international competition for the tender.
The overall development is expected to come to approximately 125,000 square metres, which will make it one of China's largest shopping centres.
The overall design concept is biomorphic, with the structural form of the building taking inspiration from the form of the Haitang Bay flower. This promises to culturally contextualise the building while setting an 'organic' tone, according to the designers.
In a move that is becoming increasingly commonplace in China, the two separate buildings that make up the development will be cased in an undulating glass shell. The façade will be double-skinned and wrapped over an aluminum-paneled frame. This specific shell will not only create a highly modern aesthetic, natural lighting will also be optimised. This focus on natural light will be further complemented by the inclusion of an interior atrium.
The façade and specifically-glazed roof protect the interior space from excessive solar gain, allowing for a reduction in the building's reliance on on-grid energy for cooling and lighting.
The centre's inner atrium will also offer to improve natural ventilation throughout the space.
In order to avoid unnecessary greenwash, it will be necessary to see how the centre performs before its true green building credentials can be justified. As it stands though, this major development stands as a visually stunning proposal that could unlock masses of green potential if delivered with environmental responsibility in mind.

Power rankings for 09'-10' NBA season
By (Contributor) on August 3, 2009
2,599 reads
This would be my best approximate inference of the present state of NBA teams ranked on the guidelines of POW-A....that's POW-A also known as POWER in English. Over the next three weeks we'll examine the up coming season and the teams as they stand now. Looking at where they'll stack up and what to look for. This week we'll look at the top ten, the cream of the crop, the top dogs of the league. Hopefully this introduction is now the required 300 words.
#1—Orlando Magic
Magic my buddies, looking forward to what you should do this season. Going all the way, and not just with L.A.'s mom. I really think they did a great job of making their team deeper in the right areas this offseason. More so than any other team... but LA is a close second.
#2—Los Angeles
I was looking for a picture of DJ Mbenga to put as the face of the Lakers and all the results that came up were of Kobe. He's such the face of the Lakers that he is literally even the face of other players. That or mbenga and him just look alot alike.
#3—Cleveland Cavaliers
They picked up Shaq, OK. Now what?
#4—Boston Celtics
With KG back and hopefully healthy and the addition of Sheed they may actually be a little underrated at four, but we'll see.
#5—Denver Nuggets
Pretty quiet in Denver this offseason but when you beat New Orleans down by 80 points in a game and make it to the Western Conference Finals, what more do you really need to do?
#6—San Antonio Spurs
Signing a great swing man, and pending no injuries (who isn't saying that though) San Antonio could make a longer run into the playoffs than the first round exit of last season.
#7—Portland Trailblazers
I know I said this about Boston too but I really really mean it for Portland, probably too underrated on this list. The problem is their regular season success didn't translate in the playoffs. Their youth and inexperience proved to be a legitimate problem. But they've got some experience under their belts now, and a new face or two, so lets see what they can do.
#8—New Orleans Hornets
I just can't get that 80 point game out of my head. Hopefully they can.
#9—Dallas Mavericks
This is a veteran squad now, hopefully not too veteran. Biggest problem still evident is a lack of a good big man or a slasher scorer. They do have a stronger inside presence though definitely and hopefully better inside defense as well. Two problems that needed to be addressed.
#10—Chicago Bulls
Bringing up the top ten, Chicago. WHAT A SERIES! Chicago showed some serious heart and skill. Lets see if they can keep it up this next season.

ISA and Lee host PEACE festival
Apr. 13
TIME: 5-6:30 pm
LOCATION: ISA, 1400 jackson keller rd
Student groups at Lee High School and the International School of the Americas (ISA) will hold the first annual Community PEACE Festival on Apr. 13. The result of cooperative planning between ISA Senior Nikki Santiago and Lee World Language teacher Carol Arnold, the PEACE Festival invites student groups across the Lee/ISA/NESA/STEM campus to celebrate the diversity of their student body, local neighborhood and broader San Antonio community.
In June 2011, Santiago travelled to Aspen, Colorado, with the Bezos Family Foundation. As a student scholar, she attended the Bezos Scholars Program @The Aspen Institute where she spent a week learning about big ideas, global challenges and how to address these challenges. Santiago returned to San Antonio with the charge to affect positive change in her community by planning and hosting her own local ideas festival.
During the week of April 9 - 13, the campus will host events that invite students to dialogue on topics such as global volunteerism, cultural awareness and the role of language in cultural diffusion.
On April 13, the community is invited to attend the PEACE Festival to learn more the myriad of student and global cultural groups that live in the San Antonio community.

O's ace building a strong Cy Young case
Erik Bedard prefers to avoid the media, but his dominance this season is making it difficult for him to remain anonymous.
Originally Published: August 17, 2007
By Amy K. Nelson | ESPN.com
Much of what makes Erik Bedard so talented is also what enables him to successfully shield himself from the public eye. The Orioles' ace is consistently stubborn, whether it's on the field, in the clubhouse or with the media. He's also one of the best pitchers in baseball you know the least about. If it's up to him, the O's left-hander wants to keep it that way.
"I don't want to reveal anything about myself," says Bedard, who's revered by teammates. "If you want a quote, don't come to me. I won't give it to you. Anything baseballwise, that's fine. Other than that, don't ask me any other questions. I don't want my life to be out there." "Baseballwise" is the reason why anyone cares. Bedard is on an incredible streak. He hasn't lost in 12 starts, dating to June 15, a span in which he has a 2.19 ERA. He leads the league with 207 strikeouts -- 33 more than second-place Johan Santana -- but has just 12 wins. Devil Rays outfielder Carl Crawford recently told reporters that Bedard's stuff is so good, he uses just two pitches to get him out. Pitching coach Leo Mazzone says Bedard throws a "four-way fastball," meaning he throws a power fastball, a sinking fastball, a cut fastball and what Mazzone calls a comebacker. Bedard has two variations of a curveball, and he's working on improving his changeup. But it's his ability to throw two pitches six different ways that has hitters batting a league-low .210 against him this year. And since June 15, he's struck out 104 batters while allowing just 49 hits. "He's been pretty much been doing that to the entire league," Derek Jeter told reporters after another dominant outing by Bedard on Wednesday, holding the Yankees scoreless through seven innings for a no-decision. Not that fans will be hearing much about, well, any of it. Bedard insists his formal interaction with the media -- which is horrible at best, and nonexistent at worst -- will never change, much to the chagrin of team officials, who have begged him to be more available. "It's not acceptable" to avoid the media, Orioles vice president of baseball operations Jim Duquette says, "but for some reason he thinks it is."Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesErik Bedard has developed into one of the most dominating pitchers in the major leagues.
He's very, very private. He's not a [bad] guy. He just doesn't like people asking him obvious, stupid questions.

Japan activists sail for islands despite China anger
ISHIGAKI (Japan): A flotilla of boats carrying Japanese nationalists and lawmakers set sail Saturday for islands at the heart of a vitriolic diplomatic row with China, despite warnings from Beijing.
Around 150 people, including eight parliamentarians, left far southwest Ishigaki bound for the archipelago in the East China Sea, a day after Japan deported pro-China activists who had sailed there from Hong Kong.
The voyage came as Beijing told Tokyo it had to immediately cease actions "harming" its territorial sovereignty.
"I want to show the international community that these islands are ours. It is Japan's future at stake," Kenichi Kojima, a local politician from Kanagawa, near Tokyo, told AFP before he boarded.
Parliamentarian Keiko Yamatani said most countries recognised Japan's sovereignty over the island chain, but added: "I think this kind of expedition will help raise awareness around the world." The 20 vessels left the southwestern Japanese island of Ishigaki at 8:30 pm (1130 GMT), an AFP journalist on board one of the boats reported.
The fleet was expected to arrive at the archipelago, known as Senkaku in Japan and as Diaoyu in China, around sunrise (2130 GMT Saturday).
The Japanese government has refused permission for the group to land on the islands. Organisers said ahead of their departure that they would be holding a ceremony aboard boats moored "within touching distance" of the shore.
Beijing on Saturday rebuked Japan over the island visit.
"China has made solemn representations to Japan, demanding that it immediately cease actions harming China's territorial sovereignty," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The dispute over the islands is one of the major stumbling blocks — along with issues related to Japan's military occupation of parts of China during World War II — to smooth relations between Asia's two giant economies.
Tensions spiked as Japan deported 14 pro-China activists who sailed to the islands from Hong Kong.
Some managed to land on an island, becoming the first non-Japanese to set foot on any part of the archipelago since 2004.
"China reiterates that any unilateral action taken by Japan regarding" the islands "are illegal and invalid", Saturday's foreign ministry statement said, adding that any such actions will not undermine its claim over the territory.
It follows another statement late Friday which called on Japan to pursue "dialogue and negotiation" to resolve the dispute.
Separately, a Japanese ruling party heavyweight said Saturday that his country should beef up its coast guard to defend the islands.
"Coast guard officials are doing their best, and so the government and the ruling parties will discuss how to strengthen our backup to them," Seiji Maehara, the policy chief of the Democratic Party of Japan, told reporters.
The renewed dispute came as tensions also rose between Japan and South Korea after President Lee Myung-Bak visited islets controlled by Seoul but claimed by Tokyo.
Emotions were running high around the August 15 anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender with Beijing and Seoul angry about a visit to a Tokyo war shine on Wednesday by two Japanese cabinet members.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported Saturday that hundreds of people protested in the western city of Xian over Japan's detainment of the pro-China activists.
Demonstrators carried Chinese flags and banners, including one that read, "Salute the Chinese warriors who defend the Diaoyu Islands," Xinhua reported.
It also said a small protest took place in front of the Japanese embassy in Beijing.
China's Global Times newspaper welcomed the release of the pro-China activists, but suggested that the dispute with Japan was far from over.
"As long as the Diaoyu Islands are still under Japanese control, there is no complete victory," it said in an editorial. -- AFP
