Plenty of New Faces Occupy Mavericks
Posted By Derek Page On July 17, 2012 @ 5:00 am In All,NBA | No Comments
For most of the first week and a half of free agency, the talk around the Dallas Mavericks was almost exclusively about the massive disappointment of failing to acquire All-Star point guard Deron Williams via free agency.
Before Williams' decision to stay with the Brooklyn Nets, optimism was high around Mavs' headquarters at the 2012 NBA draft and, with Williams or not, it was evident that this team was prepared to perform a colossal roster makeover.
"It's a time of change right now," Carlisle said after the 2012 NBA draft, with thoughts of Williams playing the pick-and-roll with Dirk Nowitzki still likely on his mind. "We're going to load up on the right kind of guys and we're going to coach the heck out of them."
Now, after a bevy of moves to start the signing period on July 11, Mavericks' fans ready to take the plunge off of the top of the American Airlines Center have made their way down from the roof. Even though Dallas still hasn't acquired that second superstar, angry fans and pundits in the DFW-area have dispersed the angry mob and put their torches and pitchforks away… for now.
Recent acquisitions Chris Kaman, Darren Collison and Elton Brand will look to make Dallas a formidable team next season, while their contracts will help the Mavericks be players in 2013 free agency. Most recently, the Mavericks have come to terms with free agent shooting guard O.J. Mayo, who will join Dallas after spending his first four NBA seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies.
All four of these players are expected to make a significant impact on this team next season alongside a perennial All Star in Nowitzki. Coach Carlisle is expecting these newcomers to come in and play what he characterized as "Mavericks basketball."
"Hard, aggressive play," Carlisle told HOOPSWORLD of his expectations. "Playing Mavericks' basketball, which is attacking on offense and being tough on defense."
As of this moment, players and coaches are ready to focus on a busy upcoming few weeks as Carlisle and his staff try to familiarize themselves with some of the younger players on the team during the 2012 NBA Summer League. The 24th overall pick, Jared Cunningham, may miss the entire Summer League due to an injured hamstring, but Carlisle has still been able to work on the fundamentals with the Mavericks' top pick off the court.
With Cunningham hobbled, the main priority on the court during Summer League for Carlisle will be helping second-round picks Bernard James and Jae Crowder, among others, get accustomed to the NBA game.
"The Vegas Summer League is the best simulation of a real NBA game," Carlisle told HOOPSWORLD. "You've got several thousand people in here for most of the games. You've got NBA refs and it's NBA quality talent. It's a great opportunity for the kids and it's an opportunity for us to get them acclimated, to evaluate them and help get them better."
In terms of those three most recent Mavericks' draft picks, Carlisle believes each player fits the mold of the Mavericks' attitude, expectations and the team's overall philosophy.
"We wanted to get some hard-playing guys in this draft," Carlisle said. "Hard-playing, energetic-type guys to continue to work at that culture here of high-character kids that play hard and want to do things the right way. We feel like [the 2012 draft] was a good night for us."
"We've got a little of everything," Mavericks' general manager Donnie Nelson said. "We've got a little backcourt help, we've got small forward help and some help in our front line so we're looking forward to these guys being in Mavs' uniforms – for the Summer League and beyond."
Considering the lack of a Summer League this past offseason due to the NBA lockout over the previous summer, Carlisle isn't taking this valuable experience time for his players lightly. The coach believes the NBA will be more stable next season with a full training camp and preseason due to the increased preparation time for everyone involved.
"Things are back to normal so everybody's happy about that," Carlisle told HOOPSWORLD. "Going forward, I expect that the whole league is going to be a little bit more settled with the development of the younger guys, getting the veteran guys ready for the season and so on and so forth.
"We got through last year – and it was a hell of a year all things considered – but going forward it's going to better."
There's no doubt last year was a difficult experience with everyone involved in the Mavericks' organization. The acquisition of Lamar Odom was a well-documented failure, while injuries and ineptitude culminated in a first-round sweep at the hands of the younger, more talented Oklahoma City Thunder.
While Williams' rejection still stings, Dallas has infused this roster with talent heading into next season and, as usual, have the possibility of being legitimate playoff contenders in the Western Conference. This complete re-tooling of this Mavericks' roster has moved so swiftly and thoroughly, it may be hard for fans next season to recognize the home team players in Dallas.
As of now, barring the now doubtful return of Delonte West due to the signing of Mayo, Dallas will come into next season with just six returning players from the 2012 season. This infusion of young talent (after being one of the oldest teams in basketball last season, Dallas now possesses seven players on the roster at 24 years old or younger) and bevy of new faces will undoubtedly put Carlisle's coaching ability to the test.
Coach Carlisle is known for being able to get the most out of the players he coaches and, with an abundance of new players and roles, this year might be one of his toughest tests to date. Then again, not many coaches take to complaining about an overabundance of talent.

PACE not so good for Woodstock
I am writing in response to the letter to the editor last week saying PACE is good for Woodstock. I have been a Woodstock resident all my life, and am actually very disappointed in the town for opting to go with a service 15 miles away when there is a competent, and professional service just two miles from the town line.
Just how good is PACE for Woodstock anyway?
On Jan. 2 this year, my neighbor suffered cardiac arrest. Fortunately for him an off-duty Tri Town employee also lives on our road, and heard the call. The Tri Town employee went to the person's house, and did CPR and gave oxygen to the person until a PACE truck finally arrived — 15 minutes later.
The most upsetting thing about this, is Tri Town offered to have their truck go on the call, and would have been able to be there in a couple minutes, but PACE refused to let them go! PACE is really good for Woodstock!
And just recently, there was a serious car accident on Route 26 at the intersection by my house, and again, PACE responded some 15 minutes later, and didn't request Tri Town for help even though they were only two miles away! PACE is really good for Woodstock!
And now Harrison has decided to go with another ambulance company because of poor response times by PACE. I think Woodstock and Harrison must be about the same distance from Norway, so how is PACE good for Woodstock if they were too slow for Harrison?
So, thank God the off duty Tri Town employee went to the aid of my neighbor, because he wouldn't be here today.
And thank God nobody died in that car accident while they waited for PACE!
And most of all, thank God for America, and town meetings where we have the right to voice our opinion and request who we want for an ambulance when we call 911.
I know if my family, friends, or neighbors have an emergency in my house, I will ask for Tri Town, because they are closer, and did an excellent job for 30 years.

I teach courses in the First-Year Writing Program and in my area of research—British literature. I am committed to fostering students' intellectual capacities for analysis, synthesis, application, and evaluation, deeming that it is as important for students to be able to wield the words and ideas of others as it is for them to improve their own writing and critical thinking skills. Too often, students assume professional and creative writing is the product of genius and they doubt their abilities to comprehend it or to aspire to it. My approach in all of my English classes is to demonstrate that great writing is not (entirely) vatic inspiration but a skillful weaving of habits of thought and formal conventions, both of which students can learn to recognize in others' writing and to cultivate in their own. My goal is for my students to develop their mastery of language as they become critical readers and writers in English.
My research focuses on vitality and the various, unusual places it could be found in early modern literature, natural philosophy, and medical texts. My work has taken me from the textual traces of horse hairs that turn into serpents (in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, for instance), to the grave in John Donne's "The Relic" (in which a bracelet of hair reunites two lovers' souls in the afterlife), to the theater, where puppets seemingly come to life even as they give life to Shakespeare's poem, Venus and Adonis, one his most popular works intended only for reading. In keeping with my interest in ecocriticism and the multiple forms life takes in nature, I am currently researching how the early modern English conceived of urban green spaces in London and the ways in which economic injustice and environmental degradation were linked in city comedy and histories of the city.

I wouldn't stay here again, even if it were free. The place is shabby and run down. The cleaning of the room was hit-or-miss. The bathroom towels were obviously old, though cleaned. There were spots on them that had been laundered but weren't going to come out. Though most of the hotel was non-smoking, I suspect they haven't replaced the carpets in […] 20+ years and there was a whiff of smoke / mustiness to the room every time I opened the door. Shower took 10 minutes to drain *after* I finished my shower. The security bar on the door had been sawed through by someone (though they replaced it the next day when I told them). My travelling companion had to be moved to a second room because the knobs on the heating/ac unit didn't work. They just spun round and round and round. Neither of these problems just happened. The two nice things are (1) very friendly and helpful staff and (2) they have one of the biggest (outdoor) pools I've seen at a motel, which made it easy to swim laps. I'll miss the pool but I'll never stay here again. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

Got in the shower and half way through the […] shower I was standing in calf deep water. YUCK! Asked to be moved to a room, upstairs if possible to keep someone from coming through the raggedy pieced together back door.

I sucked it up and got to my room, ran a bath of hot water. Relaxing when the plaster off the ceiling begins to fall in the tub with me. Enough of that!

They take a little getting used to, but they are what I wanted, and they are now (after only a few days) becoming natural to wear. They feel a bit flimsy when you're fitting them, but I don't think they are, really. A feature of these specs (which of course is a feature of all such designs) is that the lenses need to be cleaned pretty often, since there's no frame to protect them.
Exactly what I wanted. Performs exactly as needed. Very pleased.
I've been waiting for several months for these to be back in stock. I ordered two pair just in case they became unavailable again. They fit me perfectly with just a little adjustment. One of the pair I received had several scratches around where the nose-piece attach to the lens. I sent them an email and they shipped out a replacement pair immediately which I received in three days. I've already recommended debspecs to friends. Excellent web-based business.
I bought this for my husband to read and play games on his iPad in bed. Now when he moves from his side to his back and back again, his readers are firmly in place! So pleased when he said, "This is great! This is exactly what I needed!"

George "Reggie" Westleigh, Jr.
George "Reggie" Westleigh, Jr. passed away Monday, Sep. 24, at his home with his loving family by his side.
He was born at home on the Flat Road in West Bethel to George and Madeline Westleigh on March 6, 1937.
He worked at Newton & Tebbets for 39 years, as a machinist but he had so many more talents, including making wooden nickels and tinkering on multiple projects. There was not a job that he could not tackle. He also enjoyed buying and restoring old cars working in his shop, going to the Fryeburg Fair every October and he especially loved spending time with his family and making them laugh with his wonderful sense of humor. He also loved it when his grandson Austin would go fishing and bring him all his catch to eat. He had a special relationship with his grandchildren and they all loved going to see Grampa!
He leaves behind his loving wife, Linda of 45 years; son, Joe and wife Melissa of Woolwich; daughter Debra L. Betz, R.N. and husband Jack of New York; daughter, Theresa Westleigh of Maryland, daughter, Lisa Pivot and husband, Paul of Topsham; son James of New Hampshire; sister, Flossie Walker of West Bethel; brother, Rodney Westleigh of Greenwood; eight grandchildren, Wednesday, Nicole, Peter, J. Seames I, Misty, Laura, Annie, Ashley and Austin; 14 great- grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild due in February.
He was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Linwood.
A celebration of life will be held at Bethel Alliance Church on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 1 p.m., followed by a luncheon in the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Pulmonary Rehab/Stephens Memorial Hospital, 181 Main Street, Norway, Maine 04268.

The casino is themed after 1930's Hollywood and developers say that there's room for both even though the two casinos are just two hours apart. It's designed to look like a grand art deco movie house inside and out. Movie posters and photos of Hollywood greats adorn the walls above the brightly lit slot machines.

Shelley v. Kraemer (1948)
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A U.S. Supreme Court case in which the Court declared so-called restrictive covenants in real property deeds that prohibited the sale of property to non-Caucasians to be unconstitutional and in violation of the equal protection provision of the Fourteenth Amendment. Where such covenants remain in the text of deeds they must be ignored.

RICS Accreditation
RICS Accreditation
RICS has introduced a new way of working with higher education institutions which deliver its accredited courses. The way is "Partnership". It represents the coming together of a university and RICS to establish common goals and then to work together to achieve those goals.
RICS has devolved much of what was previously controlled centrally to a series of individual partnerships with its accredited universities: for example, development of new and existing courses. Partnerships are in place in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South Africa, the UK and the United States. RICS has undertaken a rigorous process to select its university partners. Each partnership accredited course in each partner higher education institution is expected to meet five quality principles:
Student Selection
Internationally respected standards are applied. The minimum level is broadly the average attainment for student selection across all student areas in the particular country.
All students are expected to be exposed to new ideas. Standards relate to the higher education institution's engagement with high quality research.
Teaching Quality
All students should enjoy the highest quality teaching environment. Standards are broader than the quality of teachers and address the overall teaching and learning environment.
This should be highly relevant to professional practice. The overall programme should prepare graduates for the profession.
Graduate Output
RICS requires access to high calibre graduate output. Quantifiable and measurable standards to meet the quality principles have been developed in each country that has adopted partnerships. The data is taken as far as possible from existing sources within the public domain.
In many countries RICS continues to recognise university and college courses on the basis of a more traditional style of audit and monitoring. Over the coming years RICS will be developing threshold standards in all countries throughout the world as a means of selecting the highest quality university partners.
Until these thresholds are established the existing system of accreditation will be maintained to safeguard the standards of courses preparing graduates for the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence.
The accreditation process relies on experienced RICS academics and employers assessing each university surveying programme to ensure there is both an appropriate curriculum and the resources in place to enable the delivery of the programme to meet the high standards demanded by RICS.
Every university is visited every few years by RICS auditors. The RICS external quality assurance system monitors the standards of graduates annually and each programme is monitored annually through an annual report. The accreditation process is very demanding but highly valued by universities. RICS aims to ensure that graduates have a stimulating and challenging education, which prepares them well for their professional career.

We typically think of viruses as harmful. After all, they cause epidemics like influenza, smallpox and AIDS. But bacteriophages, the viruses that kill bacteria, may soon be coming to our rescue. Scientific American's Anna Kuchment explains.
Excellent. What I would like to know is if these phages could be modified easily enough to adjust for any potential resistances the viruses might adapt. Or is it not possible? I would hate to have the same problem for future generations because we overused something again.

Report on the STEM Mapping Review 2004
The purpose of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Mapping Review, published by the Department for Education in 2004, was broadly to:
• investigate whether STEM initiatives currently being taken forward address the concerns raised about the decline in demand of university places in STEM.
• investigate whether the perceived lack of supply of graduates and qualified technicians in the engineering and related professions including craft persons is being addressed.
• assess whether the recommendations of the Roberts' report 'SET for Success' are being taken forward coherently and
• formulate recommendations for next steps based on the findings of the review.
The review was split into three phases:
• Mapping teaching and learning initiative and activities in STEM from primary to post graduate level, including collecting soft and hard data where possible.
• Analysing the findings of the mapping exercise, assessing whether the Roberts' recommendations had been taken forward coherently, identifying gaps, assessing external activities, formulating recommendations on how the various activities might best be brought together.
• Communicating and disseminating information on the findings of the review to opinion-formers outside the Department for Education.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
