A far-from-earth-shattering trade, and they played a game
Hmm, been a week, I kind of forget what we do here.
It'll come to me, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah. Right.
What was that?
So, I'm perched on one couch, Super Son's over on the other one and I swear I looked up and saw Sonny Weems take – and make – a three-pointer.
I rubbed my eyes, shook my head, knocked the potato chip dust off my chest and watched the replay.
Yes, it was a three-pointer.
Considering it was his first make from distance in 14 games, you can see my surprise.
I don't mean to single out Sonny because DeMar's no better but when your starting wings are absolutely no threat to shoot three-pointers, that's an issue.
Is it his time?
Watched with interest when Jay gave Alexis Ajinca some extended minutes last night and went with a four-man bigs rotation, which is generally against form.
I haven't seen enough of Ajinca to have much of an opinion of him but with the last 25 games of the season upon us, I wouldn't be surprised if Jay ran out four big men more often than not to see what he's got in the intriguing 7-footer.
Big night, or not?
Yes, Jerryd Bayless had 10 assists against the Bobcats, first time he's got to double figures in a game in 11 games, and that's maybe a sign that his decision-making point guard skills are getting better.
Then you remember the four turnovers in a short run in the first half and, well, maybe not.
He is still a work in progress and I don't think we know anything more about his long-term future today than the day the Raptors acquired him.
Some other things?
A few.
I love the people here.
(Some of them)
Raptors make a minor trade and everyone's up in arms and people should be fired, and it's impossible to believe they couldn't have received more and we're talking about a guy who might be a bit player on a 15-41 team, for goodness sakes.
But I will say this
I would much rather have a kid, James Johnson, with a year and half of NBA experience and a year and a year a bit left on his contract than the 28th pick in what might be a lockout-chilled bad draft that you'd have to give three guaranteed years to.
I have no idea if James Johnson can play, no one does because he's barely been on the floor, and the folks who are excited are just as likely to be right as those who are disappointed.
It was a minor deal at basically no cost, why not make it?
I hope we get a deadline day blockbuster here like we did Feb. 20, 1997.
That was the day they moved Acie Earl to Milwaukee for Shawn Respert, an earth-shattering move if ever there was one.
One more on the Johnson deal.
If I'm Sonny Weems or Julian Wright, I'm not signing any long-term leases.
Not that I thought either would be back but Johnson doesn't make much money ($1.8 million next season), you know Bryan sees the same issues at small forward as all of us do and Johnson's a guy who probably vaults past Weems and Wright (both of whom have no contract guarantees for next year) right away.
Oh, what'd they say in Charlotte about that rather boring and predictable game?
Did you hear?
Carmelo Anthony got traded!
Yeah. To New York!
And thus closes one of the more unseemly stretches in NBA Transaction History, thankfully.
But what's it mean on the court?
Well, I guess there's no question the Knicks are better and, eventually, they might be able to challenge Atlanta for fifth best in the East behind Boston, Chicago, Miami and Orlando.
They have star power now, and that seems to be what they love in New York more than anything else, and the Knicks may improve in the long run. But right now? Right now they have a bunch of defensively-average scorers who'll have to learn to share the ball, run whatever system it is that Mike D'Antoni runs and hope that no one gets hurt because the bench is even worse than it was.
The Knicks, as a basketball-playing franchise, have been irrelevant for years. They are no longer as irrelevant as they were; I'm just not sure how much better they'll be in the long run.
And the one thing we have learned more than anything else since this sorry saga began is this:
It's all about the money for Carmelo Anthony. Forget winning in Denver or waiting until the summer to find a better place to make a championship run as a free agent.
This was about the $65 million extension and forcing a way to get it and move on.
He showed his true colours all the way: Pay me. Or else.
KC Johnson on the Bulls and the trade and what's going on with that club.
Oh yeah, as least the arrival of James keeps the Raptors' Johnson quote at two since it means the end of Trey.
And since the guy's coming here this week and it's trade time, too, let's do this:
Q: The question and response in today's mailbag about Steve Nash spurred me on to another question regarding him. Numerous times this year, I've read that he should be given an opportunity to play for a ring by getting traded to a contender. My question is, would he even accept such a trade? He seems very happy playing in Phoenix, where he's a god. In addition to other factors, I get the impression Grant Hill chose to stay there because of Steve. Do you think he's the least bit interested in being traded? If not, do you think he'd retire if he was?
D M, Calgary
A: I don't think, at the moment, that Nash has any interest whatsoever in being dealt, I think he enjoys his teammates, his city, his challenge and at no time in the 20 years or so that I've known and covered him did I think he was a guy who'd throw up his arms and bail on a situation.
Now, this summer might be a different story, but that's a long time and a collective bargaining agreement away.
Yes, we're here tonight at 7 for an IGBT; please join us, it'll be fun. Honest.
And if you've got mail …. Well, you know what to do.

Writer and speaker Gary Thomas invites you to see how God can use marriage as a discipline and a motivation to love Him more and reflect more of the character of His Son.
Your marriage is much more than a union between you and your spouse. It is a spiritual discipline ideally suited to help you know God more fully and intimately. Sacred Marriage shifts the focus from marital enrichment to spiritual enrichment in ways that can help you love your mate more. Whether it is delightful or difficult, your marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God. Everything about your marriage---everything from the history you and your spouse create, to the love you share, to the forgiveness you both offer and seek by turn---is filled with the capacity to help you grow in Christ's character. This six-session, small group DVD curriculum will equip you to love God more passionately, reflect the nature of his Son more precisely, and fulfill God's overarching purpose for your marriage.

- Manchester City vs Sunderland (12.45) - Scott Wilson
- Watford vs Middlesbrough (3.00) - Steph Clark
- Crewe vs Hartlepool (3.00) - Nick Loughlin
- Billingham Town vs Darlington (3.00) - Craig Stoddart
FT: Crewe 2 Hartlepool 1 . Two good performances this week after a pitiful show seven days ago - but two defeats by the same scoreline.
Six good second-half chances, but no goals, bar Horwood's early opener.
FT Watford 1-2 Boro. Dream comeback for Scott McDonald, who scores the winner of his first appearance this season. Much improved second half performance from Mowbray's men.
FULL-TIME: Billingham Town 1 (Butterworth), Darlington 7 (SEVEN) (Emms, Scott, Thompson pen, Reay 2, Nicholls 2).
Darren Richardson close to making it 8-1, the overlapping left-back hit the wrong side of the Billingham Town side-netting after being played in by Shaun Reay. Five minutes to play, still 7-1 to Darlington.
GOAL: Yet another Darlington goal. 7-1. Adam Nicholls makes it 7-1 on 83 minutes, slalomed through the Billingham Town defence.
GOAL: Adam Nicholls makes it 6-1 to Darlington, rounded the keeper on 78 minutes. Less than 60 seconds earlier Billingham Town had hit the woodwork twice, first through Nicky Martin and then Jamie Owens.
GOAL Watford 1-2 Middlesbrough. SCOTT MCDONALD puts Boro ahead in the 77th minute. Initial shot was blocked, but he picked up the ball a second time and steered a low shot into the bottom left corner.
GOAL: Can't keep up here. 5-1 to Darlington now. Emms played the ball across goal, Billingham Town struggled to clear and Reay was on hand to tap home at close-range.
GOALS: Darlington's propensity for handing other teams a goal strikes again. Stephen Harrison heads into Glen Butterworth's path and he blasts home to make it 3-1 on 71 minutes. But within 60 seconds later an unmarked Shaun Reay tapped in at the far post, following a Leon Scott pass, to make it 4-1.
GOAL: Crewe 2 Hartlepool 1 - Baldwin gave away a soft free kick out wide, low ball curled into the area , found it's way after a bounce or two to the far stick where defender Ellis tapped in.
It's come after Pools best and most positive spell for a good while
GOAL: Stephen Thompson strokes home a 66th minute penalty to make it 3-0 to Darlington at Billingham Town. Amar Purewal had been tripped by Alan Cossavella.
GOAL: Stephen Thompson strokes home a 66th minute penalty to make it 3-0 to Darlington at Billingham Town. Amar Purewal had been tripped by Alan Cossavella.
GOAL: Leon Scott makes it 2-0 to Darlington from 16 yards on 51 minutes after a pass by Stephen Thompson (I think it was Thompson!).
Two big chances for Ryan Noble in a minute here for Hartlepool at Crewe. First his shot from 12 yards was brilliantly blocked by keeper Martin, second time in space deep his shot beat Martin but cleared off the line.
Word reaching the press box that Mike Amos was given an earful from an elderly lady, who also happens to be a Darlington supporter, in the bar at Billingham Town today regarding The Battle of Dunston a fortnight ago.
HT Watford 1-1 Middlesbrough. In truth, Boro could have been four down after 15 minutes, but goal and red card for Vydra means they have a brilliant chance to taking some points back to Teesside. Big improvement needed though, even against ten men.
HALF-TIME: Billingham Town 0 Darlington 1 (Emms). In injury time we had a cracking save by Billingham's Danny Molyneux, tipping a Stephen Thompson effort onto the crossbar.
HT: Crewe 1 Hartlepool 1 - good start, one up through Horwood, but then a bit of a defensive job. Missed penalty from Crewe before deserved leveller. Pools need to be a bit bolder and braver on the ball and try and get better balls into Howard and the lively Noble.
RED CARD and WATFORD are down to ten men. Incident at opposite side of pitch to press box, but referee signalled that Vydra has stamped on Nicky Bailey. Still 1-1.
GOAL: Chris Emms puts Darlington 1-0 up at Billingham Town in the 42nd minute with a free-kick. His effort dipped over the defensive wall.
GOAL: Crewe 1 Hartlepool 1 - Aneke creams one in from 22 yards, curled into the top corner first time. Crewe had plenty of possession and forced Pools back, goal has to be fair been coming.
Substitution for Billingham Town: Harry Styles from One Direction replaces Craig Norman on 40 minutes. Okay, it may not be Harry Styles from One Direction (it's more likely to be Josh MacDonald), but he's got the same crazy hair as Harry Styles from One Direction.
Boro forced to make a change. Justin Hoyte has come off with an injury and is replaced by Scott McDonald, who makes his first appearance for Boro this season. Nicky Bailey has moved to right-back, with McDonald moving to the left. Still 1-1.
Awful awful penalty miss - Crewe's Pogba hits the roof of the stand. Harsh award against Hartley who dived in way of Leitch-Smith shot. Bit of justice there I suppose, still Crewe 0 Hartlepool 1
And then an escape for Billingham Town. Darlington's Adam Nicholls beat Danny O'Brien down the flank and crossed into the centre, but Stephen Thompson's weak and miscued header was easily saved by Danny Molyneux. 37 minutes gone, still 0-0.
Christian Selby's lack of pace hands Darlington an escape. Defender Gary Brown failed to deal with a ball up the line and the Billingham Town forward turned Quakers' captain, giving him a run on goal, but Brown was able to retreat and win back the ball from the sluggish striker.
GOAL: 1-1. Marvin Emnes equalises after Andre Bikey headed down Grant Leadbitter's corner. Boro have been awful, but somehow have got themselves back in it. 29mins. Game on.
This is a decent start from Hartlepool - one up and looking well for it. Crewe knocking it around well, Pools organised and busy. Sweeney looking back on form today, seeing more of the ball today than he has in weeks.
On 18 minutes Billingham Town defender Richard Gaston stretched out a leg to prevent Darlington's Chris Emms' neat pass from reaching Leon Scott as he burst into the penalty area.
And three minutes later Stephen Thompson lashed the ball off target after being played in by Emms.
Darren Richardson is on as a substitute for Darlington as left-back Dan Smith limped off injured on nine minutes.
23mins, 0-0. Not a great deal to report from Billingham Town v Darlington other than the minor disturbance on the terrace that delayed kick-off. Northern League chairman Mike Amos is believed to be in attendance, so his version of events will no doubt be anticipated.
#Boro haven't started well at all. Including Deeney's goal, Watford have had six shots in the opening quarter. Mowbray not a happy chap.
— @StephClarkEcho 06 October 2012
We've had only five minutes played here at Bedford Terrace between Billingham Town and Darlington as there was a ten-minute delay to kick-off due to a bit of handbags on the terrace.
Players briefly returned to dressing room due to the incident which occurred beside the main stand at Billingham Town.
Before Northern League chairman Mike Amos does a blog, there was no full-scale riot, no water cannons required to restore order, just a bit of pushing and shoving.
With Hartlepool playing at Crewe today, online rumours had surfaced that there could be a presence from Pools at today's game. That appeared to be speculation, but that there is no police present is surely a factor in the disorder.
Anyhow, still 0-0.
GOAL: Horwood replaces Monkhouse on 8 mins - and a minute later puts Hartlepool in front. Toe poke past keeper from close range after a cushioned Sweeney assist
Early forced change for Pools - Monkhouse off injured, Horwood coming on
GOAL: Watford 1-0 Middlesbrough. Troy Deeney puts the hosts ahead after just 26 seconds.
Billingham Town: Molyneux, O'Brien, Gamble, Perry, Gaston, Cossavella, Norman, Butterworth, Selby, Martin. Subs: Dunwell, MacDonald, Thomas, Clark, Hodgson
Darlington (4-4-2): Norton; Harrison, Brown, Tait, Smith; Emms, Scott, Gott, Nicholls; Amar Purewal, Thomas. Subs: Morris (gk), Richardson, Clough, Reay, Johnson
Darlington name an unchanged team for the second successive game for this afternoon's fixture at Billingham Town.
The XI that defeated Penrith (4-1) and Newcastle Benfield (5-2) over the last week are again called on as Quakers aim to maintain their successful start to the season.
They have won 11 of their 12 league matches, including a 3-2 victory over today's opponents three weeks ago at Heritage Park.
Today's game at Beford Terrace says a new name among the subs for Quakers. Goalkeeper Carl Morris, formerly of Esh Winning, replaces the unavailable Chris Porter.
Full-Time: Manchester City 3 Sunderland 0
Good afternoon from a sunny Vicarage Road where Watford host Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Tony Mowbray has made three changes to his line-up from Wednesday night's 2-2 draw with Derby County.
Stephen McManus, Faris Haroun and Marvin Emnes come in to replace Seb Hines, Kevin Thomson and Luke Williams.
Middlesbrough (4-4-2): Steele; Hoyte, Bikey, McManus, Friend; McEachran, Bailey, Leadbitter, Haroun; Jutkiewicz, Emnes.
Subs: Leutwiler, Ledesma, Hines, Halliday, L Williams, McDonald, Smallwood.
Watford: Almunia; Hoban, Hall, Neuton; Cassetti, Hogg, Chalobah, Abdi, Pudil; Deeney, Vydra.
Subs: Bond, Yeates, Doyley, Murray, Smith, Geijo, Ekstrand.
GOAL: Manchester City 3 (Milner 89) Sunderland 0
Man City claim a third goal with a minute left as James Milner scores with a free-kick from the left edge of the area.
The former Newcastle man whipped his shot in, and the ball looked to take a flick off Craig Gardner's head.

Quick return to the Hartlepool side for Ryan Noble after he signed on loan from Sunderland again yesterday. He replaces James Poole in the only change from Tuesday's loss to Sheffield United.
CREWE ALEX: Martin, Tootle, Davis, Ellis, Clayton, Murphy, Pogba, Leitch-Smith, Mellor, Aneke, Bond. Subs: Garrett (gk), Dugdale, Turton, Robertson, Ray, Daniels, Waters.
HARTLEPOOL UNITED: Flinders; Austin, Baldwin, Collins, Holden; Franks, Murray, Sweeney, Monkhouse; Noble, Howard. Subs: Humphreys, Collins, Horwood, Poole, Lynch, McHugh (gk), James.
Referee: Jeremy Simpson (Lancs)
Final Sunderland substitution: Campbell for Sessegnon (83)
All Manchester City now, with David Silva curling a delicate chip against the crossbar.
Sunderland substitution: Saha for Johnson (68)
Just keep the score respectable lads.
— @charlotte_safc 06 October 2012
Sunderland substitution: Vaughan for Rose (61)
GOAL: Manchester City 2 (Aguero 60) Sunderland 0
City double their lead on the hour mark as Aguero scores five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Kolarov delivers a low cross from the left, and Aguero gets ahead of his marker to stab home from the edge of the six-yard box.
Another fine save from Mignolet, who leaps to his right to claim Richards' header.
The Belgian might have been slightly at fault for the goal, but he's kept Sunderland in the game from that point onwards.
Man City substitution: Aguero for Balotelli (55)
Lively start to the second half. Fletcher's first-time volley blocked by Richards at one end - Rose clears Richards' shot off the line at the other.
The second half is now under way at Manchester City. No half-time changes for either side as Sunderland attempt to overturn their one-goal deficit.
Half-time and Sunderland trail 1-0 to Kolarov's fifth-minute free-kick.
They haven't been overwhelmed since then, but Man City have been comfortable and look to have at least another couple of gears if they need them in the second half.
Sunderland giving the ball away far too much here, with Gardner and Colback particularly culpable.
Balotelli has just curled a tame effort wide for Man City, who lead 1-0 with ten minutes of the first half to go.
Mignolet's awesome like
— @MarkHutch3 06 October 2012
Important save from Mignolet to deny Zabaleta, who took advantage of some poor Sunderland defending to drill in a low shot.
This is the first time Sunderland have been behind this season, so it will be interesting to see how they react. Sessegnon has just volleyed their first attempt of the game over the top.
GOAL: Manchester City 1 (Kolarov 5) Sunderland 0
Manchester City lead thanks to a goal from the free-kick Cuellar conceded.
Aleksandar Kolarov stepped up and curled a superb effort past Simon Mignolet's right hand.
Awful start for Sunderland.
3. Carlos Cuellar booked in the third minute for an awful tackle on Carlos Tevez. Not exactly the ideal start to the Spaniard's return to the first team.
We're under way at Man City with Sunderland lining up as expected. 4-4-1-1 with Sessegnon playing off Fletcher.
Not long to go now. Sunderland have made one change for today's game - the returning Carlos Cuellar replacing Titus Bramble at centre-half.
Manchester City are without Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero. Their defence doesn't look the strongest, with Micah Richards expected to play at centre-half, but a front three of David Silva, Mario Balotelli and Carlos Tevez isn't exactly bad.
Good luck to all safc boys today! We scored 3 last year lets give it ago again! #believe

"Moments of sweet sincerity are one of the great gifts of this job"
Jack comes to us every now and again and does not often stay long. He is very street entrenched, addicted to substances and has some mental health and developmental issues. These significant barriers make it very difficult for him to stay a long time in a structured setting such as ours.
He was so accustomed to keeping opposite hours, sleeping on the street or in "the bush" during the day, when it is safe, and staying awake at night. He does not like wearing shoes and often has to be prompted to put them on. He is generally very quiet, but friendly in our Crisis Shelter.
Staff have been working on building a relationship with him in hopes that he will stay longer and stabilize more. He seems to be doing well this stay, and has obviously benefitted from the relationship building he has done with the youth workers, including playing cards.
Recently one evening before bed there were a few youth up playing cards and talking with Andrea a youth worker and her teammate. A couple youth were joking around with Andrea, teasing her a bit as we often do, and one of these youth made a joke about how Andrea was being creepy for knowing the routines of some of the youth. This conversation was all in good fun of course, but as Andrea was getting everyone to head to bed, Jack said to her out loud in the space, "Andrea, you're not creepy". It was so sweet of him to speak up when he does not often do so, and to do it to make sure her feelings weren't hurt by the youth's joke. The other youth began joking around a bit more and Jack got a bit embarrassed, but Andrea thanked him sincerely for his kind words.
He does not say much, and we never know if he is going to make it back to us in one piece, but to experience these moments of sweet sincerity in him is truly one of the great gifts of this job.
So far Jack has stayed a week – which is a great success in and of itself! Our case manager has an initial meeting with his mental health/housing support worker next week and we begin the difficult process of securing him long term housing. We will continuing to build a trusting relationship with Jack and work with him as long as it takes so he can get the long term support he needs.
Your gift of love this Christmas can last a lifetime
Has anyone ever said something to you that you just can't get out of your mind?
That happened just recently when I met a young man named Evan.
Evan told me, "I've been bounced around and in and out of foster care since I was little. I've never called anyone Mom or Dad. Now I pretty much live where I can." For the rest of the day I couldn't get those words out of my mind:
"I've never called anyone Mom or Dad."
Imagine a child growing up, never calling anyone Mom or Dad. Never having an adult like you in his life that he could trust and turn to.
Never having the safe haven of a mother's arms. Or a Dad to look up to.
I'm so grateful that Evan found someone to trust when he found Covenant House.
Our Youth Workers welcomed Evan. They saw past his troubled outer shell. And they saw the good in him.
One night, Evan was in hospital having an extremely painful operation. He had no friends or family to come and take him home. A team of our Youth Workers went to St. Paul's Hospital, collected Evan and took him back to his hotel in the Downtown Eastside. And together, they carried him up 9 flights of stairs to his room.
Evan was in tears by the time they arrived. But not just from pain. From the fact that – finally – somebody cared enough about him to help him. To carry him, and comfort him. Without strings. Without condition.
You send the donations that let our workers be there for Evan that night. You are the heart of Covenant House that keeps us alive.
Please take a moment today to support our Christmas Appeal, if you can. Your ongoing support helps us provide the unconditional love that kids like Evan have never had. And puts them on the road to a new life.
With sincere thanks,
Sister Nancy Brown, SC, OBC

SLayer 101: A Whirlwind First Week
Posted by Joshua Krammes in Culture, Introductions, SoftLayer, Startup SeriesHaving been client in the past, I already had some idea of how amazing the SoftLayer team was. Every interaction I had with the company was fantastic, and though I've worked with hundreds of service providers in different industries, I can wholeheartedly say that the service I received at Softlayer was better than any I'd ever experienced. As you can imagine, that left a pretty phenomenal impression on me.
When the opportunity came up a couple of months ago to interview with Paul Ford and the Community Development team, my response was almost instinctual: I jumped at the chance. Having met him and several members of the team in San Francisco in the past (picture below), I knew the kinds of individuals he surrounded himself with — incredibly smart, talented, hard-working, and just downright COOL people. That's right … Seldom do you find a team in a corporate environment where you can actually say the people are all awesome — people you would want to hang out with even if you didn't work with them.
After going through the interview process, I hopped on a plane to Dallas to visit the Alpha headquarters. In the whirlwind of introductions and training sessions, I was surprised how productive the trip ended up being. I met most of the folks I'll be working with on a regular basis, and I had the opportunity to learn more and more about what Community Development is doing. And I was blown away at how much of that work was being done for other companies. The impression I get is that the impact Community Development is having on the business community is real, it's measurable and it's making a difference. It's impactful. From mentorship to event sponsorship to expert recommendations about infrastructure and architecture, nowhere in the industry can you find a company that works so hard for its customers. Trust me. I looked. Nowhere.
When I returned to San Francisco (where I live and will be based), I happened upon the Game Developers Conference where SoftLayer was present in a big way. I grabbed lunch with an existing client, I could tell their interaction with our team was no different from mine when I was a customer: Both sides clearly work together to find a solution that works for everyone. The interaction seemed to transcend the traditional "client-vendor" relationship, and it was clear that the Softlayer team was deeply committed to the client's mission and product offering.
Learning all of the different ways Softlayer is helping them (beyond providing server and hosting solutions) was would have been astounding … If I didn't already kind of expect it from my experience. I couldn't help but be ecstatic about what's to come.
I met with the team at the GDC booth and got some more first-hand perspective about how we're embraced by the community. Walking the show floor and coming back to our almost-always-crowded booth (after seeing so many other booths quiet and empty) reinforced my feeling that I joined one of the most exciting companies in the industry. Our Server Challenge kept the booth BUSY for the entire time I was at the show — both days.
Observing how our team engaged the visitors drove home a point I touched on earlier: That SoftLayer employees CARE about every client and prospect. They asked questions about the attendee's business, what the business's needs were, and (most impressively to me) held back on "the hard sell." And that's pretty unique in itself.
As I embark on week number two of my employment (and beyond), I can't wait to learn more and more so I can become an integral part of the team. If you're ever on the West Coast and want to talk SoftLayer, hit me up!

January 21, 2013 Pebble HuntingThe Year in Pitchers Not Getting Focal DystoniaThere wasn't a lot that went well with Heath Bell's 2012 season, but there was this pitch:
The Posterior Deltoid causes the Glenohumoral Joint to horizontally adduct and externally rotate. The Anterior Deltoid stretches to slow the external rotation and the Pectoralis Major stretches to slow the horizontal adduction. Also, the Back Extensors and Obliques cause trunk rotation. The Rectus Femorus and Illiop Psoas flex the hip, bringing the leg up. All that and the brain has to work, too, and that's what makes Bell's strike impressive: the bases were loaded; the game was tied; he had just thrown 13 consecutive balls; and still he managed to throw one right into the strike zone. I can't even comprehend throwing a strike in that situation, which is, I suppose, why I can't comprehend it. A brain with that much self-doubt would fall apart. I doubt my ability, therefore I don't have the ability. It takes a brain without self-doubt to do what Bell did, and what every other pitcher in baseball did this year, which is not get the yips. There were six pitchers this year who threw at least 10 consecutive balls in one outing. None of those pitchers panicked, wet himself, got disoriented and threw a pitch into left field, or in any other way lost the ability to play in the majors. They all started throwing strikes as though nothing had happened, and they'll all make money playing baseball in 2013. But does anything happen to a man between the first ball and the 10th? 10 consecutive balls Let's answer some questions.

Harry Belafonte Movies
Despite a dazzling film and recording career that spanned the better part of the Twentieth century, and has extended (with occasional film activity) well into the Twenty-first, venerable African American entertainer
Harry Belafonte
is still best known as "The King of the Calypso." This title -- and Belafonte's concomitant crossover appeal to black and white audiences -- is even more astonishing for first happening over ten years before the Civil Rights movement took full swing.
Born March 1, 1927 in poverty-stricken Harlem to first-generation Jamaican immigrants, Belafonte emigrated with his mother back to Jamaica at eight years old, and returned to New York at age thirteen. Midway through high school, he dropped out and enlisted in the Navy. Upon discharge, the young man studied and performed at the Actors Studio (alongside such legends as Tony Curtis and Marlon Brando), Erwin Piscator's Dramatic Workshop at the New School for Social Research, and The American Negro Theater. A singing role in a theatrical piece led to a string of cabaret engagements, and before long, Belafonte's success enabled him to secure funding to open his own nightclub. His recording career officially began at the age of 22, in 1949, when he presented himself as a pop singer along the lines of Tony Bennett or Frank Sinatra, but in time he found a more unique niche by delving headfirst into the Library of Congress's archive of folk song recordings and studying West Indian music. What emerged was a highly unique (and unprecedented) blend of pop, jazz and traditional Caribbean rhythms.
Belafonte subsequently opened at the Village Vanguard with accompaniment by Millard Thomas, then debuted cinematically with
Bright Road
(1953) and followed it up with Otto Preminger's
Carmen Jones
, co-starring, in each, with the ravishing (and ill-fated) Dorothy Dandridge. In 1954, Belafonte won a Tony Award for his work in the Broadway revue
John Murray Anderson's Almanac
. His broadest success to date, however, lay two years down the road.
In 1956, Belafonte issued two RCA albums: Belafonte, and Calypso. To call the LP popular would be the understatement of the century; each effort crested the pop charts and remained there, the latter album for well over seven months. As a result, calypso music, typified by the twin hits {&"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)") and "Jamaica Farewell," became a national phenomenon.
Using his star clout, Belafonte was then able to realize several controversial film roles that studios would have rejected for a man of color in the late 1950s. In 1957's
Island in the Sun
, Belafonte's character entertains notions of an affair with white
Joan Fontaine
(thereby incurring the wrath of bigots everywhere). In Robert Wise's
Odds Against Tomorrow
(1959), he plays a bank robber, uncomfortably teamed with a racist partner (Robert Ryan). And in
The World, The Flesh and The Devil
, also made in 1959, he portrays one of the last three survivors of a world-wide nuclear disaster.
Following his SRO Carnegie Hall show in 1959, Belafonte won an Emmy for his 1960 TV special,
Tonight With Harry Belafonte
(becoming, in the process, the first African American producer in television history). His cinematic activity nonetheless sharply declined during this period as he felt more and more dissatisfied by available film roles, but his recording output and civil rights work crescendoed over the course of the 1960s. In 1970, Belafonte returned to film work for the first occasion in almost ten years, by executive producing and starring alongside Zero Mostel in Czech director Jan Kadar's American debut, the fantasy The Angel Levine (1970). Adapted from a short story by Bernard Malamud, this gentle, sensitively-handled fable won the hearts of critics and devoted filmgoers nationwide, but subsequently fell through the cracks of the video revolution and went largely unseen for three decades. By 1971, Belafonte would act before the cameras only in the company of such close friends as
Sidney Poitier
, who directed Belafonte in
Buck and the Preacher
(1972) and
Uptown Saturday Night
(1974). (The latter features the actor - as mustachioed "Geechie Dan" -- doing a particularly funny spoof of Marlon Brando's Godfather).
In 1984, Belafonte produced and scored the musical film
Beat Street
, and in 1985 he won awarded an Emmy for initiating the all-star We Are the World video. After a typically long absence from the screen, Belafonte returned in the 1996 reverse-racism drama White Man's Burden. That year, Belafonte also received some acclaim for his performance as gangster Seldom Seen in
Robert Altman
's Kansas City, despite the tepid response gleaned by the film at Cannes 1996 and other festivals.
For the next fifteen years, Belafonte continued to pursue cinematic activity, though rarely signed for fictional roles. He restricted his involvement for the remainder of the nineties (and into the 2000s) to documentary work and concert films, with participation, often as the host, narrator, or central performer, in such projects as Roots of Rhythm (1997), An Evening with Harry Belafonte and Friends (1997), Fidel (2001), Quincy Jones: In Pocket (2002), Calypso Dreams (2003) and When the Levees Broke (2006). In late 2006, Belafonte essayed another dramatic role as Nelson, an employee of the Ambassador Hotel, in Bobby, Emilio Estevez's highly-anticipated ensemble drama about the RFK assassination.
Alongside his recording and cinematic work, Belafonte has accumulated dozens of awards and honors bestowed upon him by various social-service and political organizations.

Add When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts to top of Queue
Academy Award-nominated director Spike Lee (the guiding force behind the critically acclaimed documentary 4 Little Girls) turns to nonfiction filmmaking once again with the heart-wrenching marathon work When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, produced by Lee's Forty Acres and a Mule Filmworks and originally screened on HBO. In four "acts" of approximately one hour each, Lee examines the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina in the late summer of 2005 and the incorrigible response to the catastrophe from U.S. government agencies. The filmmaker then evaluates the overwhelming measures that must be taken for the area to rebound and recover fully, demonstrating time and again that this seems an unlikely prospect in the immediate future. Act One covers the events that immediately preceded Katrina's onslaught of horror, with an in-depth exploration of the Bush administration and FEMA's joint failures to understand the potential calamity at hand. Lee picks up this subtopic again and makes it the central focus of Act Two, which expands into a dissection of the government agencies' failure to
to the crisis with adequate measures; time and again, the director fills his frame, in this segment, with images and indications of naked human indifference. Act Three plunges headfirst into the toll taken by the hurricane on the lives of Louisiana residents, with protracted glimpses of the destruction wrought. And finally, the film wraps with Act Four, where Lee conducts more recent interviews with experts who question the soundness of the New Orleans levee system in the face of future catastrophes. A number of celebrities and public figures also appear on camera to provide commentary throughout the work, including New Orleans mayor Roy Nagin, actor, singer and social activist Harry Belafonte, and actor Sean Penn. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Twenty-two people become unwitting participants in a tragic and defining moment of the 1960s in this period drama from actor and director Emilio Estevez. It's early June in 1968, and the California presidential primary elections are occupying the minds of many in the Golden State, with Robert F. Kennedy in a close race against Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey. The Kennedy campaign staff has set up camp at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, while the staff and guests become observers as the brother of fallen president John F. Kennedy sets out to pick up where his sibling left off. Paul (William H. Macy) is the manager of the Ambassador, and his wife, Miriam (Sharon Stone), is a hairdresser who runs' the hotel's beauty salon. Angela (Heather Graham) is a receptionist working the hotel's switchboard who has been sleeping with Paul behind Miriam's back. Timmons (Christian Slater) is in charge of the hotel's restaurant and catering department, and makes no secret of his dislike of the African-Americans and Latinos under his employ. Miguel (Jacob Vargas) and Jose (Freddy Rodriguez) are two young Chicanos on the kitchen staff who have it in for Timmons, while Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) is an older black man who counsels them on dealing with their rage. Virginia Fallon (Demi Moore) sings in the hotel's cocktail lounge and has a serious problem with alcohol; her husband, Tim (Emilio Estevez), is a Kennedy supporter and also her manager, and he's nearing the end of his rope in dealing with her problem. William (Elijah Wood) is a young man desperate to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam; Diane (Lindsay Lohan) is a pretty young woman dating William's brother who agrees to marry him so William can avoid being drafted, though William is clearly infatuated with her, while she considers this a marriage in name only. John Casey (Anthony Hopkins) is one of the owners of the Ambassador, and Nelson (Harry Belafonte) is an old friend who works at the hotel. And Jack (Martin Sheen) is a wealthy Kennedy campaign financier who is married to Samantha (Helen Hunt), an attractive but much younger woman. Bobby also features Joshua Jackson, Nick Cannon, and Shia LaBeouf as young Kennedy campaign volunteers, while Ashton Kutcher, Joy Bryant, Kip Pardue, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead also highlight the supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

With their blend of folk singing and stand-up comedy, Tom and Dick Smothers became a popular nightclub attraction in the early 1960's and were frequent guests on many television variety shows of the day. In 1967, in a bid to win younger viewers away from NBC's perennially popular western series Bonanza, CBS gave The Smothers Brothers an hour-long comedy-variety series airing on Sunday evenings The show became an unexpected hit, and in their second season, The Smother Brothers and their writing staff (which at the time included Rob Reiner and Steve Martin) began using the show as a platform for satiric humor which examined key issues of the day, including the war in Vietnam, drugs, racism, and the right-wing policies of the Nixon White House. While the show remained popular, it also became wildly controversial, and the Smothers Brothers soon found themselves battling their network and the FCC for the right to say what they wanted on their own show. Smothered: The Great Smothers Brothers Censorship Wars is a documentary which explores the history of the show, and how network brass and Nixon's cabinet worked together to pull the plug on a hit TV series; the film includes interviews with Tom and Dick Smothers, Rob Reiner, Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte, and Joan Baez. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In 1962, Jamaica won its independence from the United Kingdom, and the island nation, which had long struggled with poverty, attempted to use its agricultural resources in order to create a sound economic base. As Jamaica's financial problems grew more severe with time, prime minister Michael Manley struck a deal in 1977 with a consortium of economic institutions through the International Monetary Fund, who would loan money to the nation in exchange for removal of trade restrictions and subsidized exports. Twenty-five years later, most Jamaicans would agree that the deal drove a stake through the island's agricultural and industrial economy; imports from America have ruined the island's dairy industry, interference from growers and merchants in the United States and Latin America have effectively ended the growing of onions, bananas, carrots, and potatoes as cash crops, the value of the Jamaican dollar has plummeted, and the island is now seven billion dollars in debt to the IMF, with interest driving that figure higher each day. Filmmaker Stephanie Black examines the sad state of Jamaica's economy in the face of "free trade" in the global economy in the documentary Life + Debt, which includes interviews with Michael Manley and IMF director Stanley Fischer; the Jamaica Kincaid novel A Small Place provides some of the text for the film's narration. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Fidel Castro is one of the world's best known and most recognizable political leaders, but he is also among the most mysterious. While Castro became a household name after overthrowing the rule of Fulgenico Batista and became the head of Cuba's new socialist government, little is known of his private life or the man behind the façade of his shaggy beard and omnipresent cigar. Fidel is a documentary by filmmaker Estela Bravo, who combines vintage newsreel footage with exclusive recent interviews which offer an insight into both Castro the leader, struggling to face the political and economic realities of the post-Soviet global environment, and Castro the man, as he tours his childhood home, goes swimming, and visits with his friends. Fidel also includes interviews with people who know or have met Castro, including Nelson Mandela, Muhammed Ali, Harry Belafonte, Alice Walker, Ted Turner, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Swing Vote
In this courtroom drama set in the near future, the U.S. Supreme Court has recently overturned the Roe vs. Wade decision and thrown the issue of abortion rights back to the individual states. Alabama has subsequently outlawed abortion on demand and has prosecuted Virginia Mapes (Lisa Gay Hamilton) for first degree murder after she opted to terminate her pregnancy. Mapes and her attorney have taken the case to the Supreme Court in hopes of keeping her out of prison, and with the court evenly divided on the issue, newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Joseph Kirkland (Andy Garcia) looks to be the man who will cast the deciding vote in a case that could reinstate a woman's right to choose. Kirkland, however, finds himself surrounded by proponents of both the pro-choice and pro-life agendas, with his fellow justices, his secretary and even his wife trying to influence his vote. Produced for ABC Television, Swing Vote boasts a distinguished supporting cast, including Harry Belafonte, Robert Prosky, Milo O'Shea, Kate Nelligan, Albert Hall, and Bob Balaban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Assassinated: The Last Days of King & Kennedy
Oliver Stone is the executive producer of this political documentary recalling the idealism, struggles, and turmoil of 1968 when two visionary American leaders promised hope but were slain within months of each other. After opening with Robert Kennedy on April 4, 1968 telling people in Indianapolis about Martin Luther King's murder in Memphis, the film looks back on the lives of both during the '60s, through interviews with friends, associates, and family members. When King was killed, a dream for the future was passed to RFK. During a 1967 Mississippi trip, RFK had an emotional reaction to the conditions in which poor black children lived. News footage and photos sketch in the backdrop of the '60s. By the end of 1968, with both men gone, the dream turned to despair. This two-hour film premiered April 5, 1998 on TBS. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The jazz world of 1930s Kansas City serves as the backdrop for an offbeat story of kidnapping, political corruption, and organized crime in director Robert Altman's loving but unsentimental look at his childhood hometown. The film's intricate story is triggered by petty thief Johnny O'Hara (Dermot Mulroney), who aims for a big score by trying to rob notorious crime boss Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), only to end up Seen's captive. In fear for her husband's life, Johnny's wife Blondie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) decides to take action. Following an eccentric personal logic, she takes as a hostage the wife of a prominent local politician, in hopes of getting the woman's husband to help; unfortunately, he is on the road with an upcoming presidential campaign, putting a major hitch in Blondie's plans. The film moves freely among its idiosyncratic characters in an overt attempt to mimic the improvisational structure of 1930s jazz. Indeed, many of the film's most important sequences take place in Seldom Seen's club, with contemporary jazz greats imitating the period's master musicians and Harry Belafonte shining as the magnetic, menacing Seen. The central narrative never achieves the seemingly effortless integration of Altman's greatest works, but those who share Altman's obvious passion for the period and its music will find much to admire. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Robert Altman's Jazz '34: Remembrances of Kansas City Swing

Their performance was recorded on the set of Robert Altman's 1996 film Kansas City, and selections from this atmospheric concert were used in his feature. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The wife of a British army officer falls in love with an African American G.I. in this made-for-cable World War II drama. When her unfaithful husband (Ciaran Hinds) goes off to war, small-town homemaker Maggie Leyland (Kerry Fox) spends her time caring for her young son (Rory Jennings) and helping with the war effort. She's therefore present at a dance the locals throw for a newly arrived platoon of black soldiers from the United States. Despite Maggie's prim and proper demeanor, an unlikely friendship develops between her and Travis Holloway (Courtney B. Vance), a private who works as an army cook and dreams of actually fighting in the trenches for his country. Although the townspeople give the black G.I.'s a pleasant reception, the American brass frets about fraternization between their African-American soldiers and the local lasses. The white soldiers stationed nearby bitterly resent the competition, causing trouble for both participants in any interracial romance. Nonetheless, as the friendship between Travis and Maggie deepens, they're unable to suppress their feelings for one another. Into this clandestine relationship steps Maggie's husband, who returns unexpectedly and promptly accuses Travis of rape when he discovers the couple making love. Based on true events, The Affair was filmed by House of Cards director Paul Seed for HBO. Malcolm X's Leland Gantt co-stars as one of Travis' fellow soldiers who also pays dearly for a romance with a British woman. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

White Man's Burden
Add White Man's Burden to Queue
Add White Man's Burden to top of Queue
From director-writer Desmond Nakano comes this unusual role-reversal picture examining racism from a different perspective. Louis Pinnock (John Travolta) is a semi-literate worker in a chocolate candy factory. One day he makes a delivery to the mansion of wealthy Thaddeus Thomas (Harry Belafonte). He is noticed while he is unintentionally looking up at Thomas' wife, Megan (Margaret Avery), while she is undressing in an open window. Thomas makes sure that Pinnock is fired for this innocent indiscretion despite his years of reliable performance at the factory. Some time later, unemployed and destitute, Pinnock and his wife Marsha (Kelly Lynch) and children are evicted roughly from their home by police officers. Marsha's mother (Carrie Snodgress) takes in her daughter and grandchildren, but she won't let Pinnock stay. Police officers beat up Pinnock one day because, they say, he fits the description of a criminal suspect. Finally, Pinnock goes to Thomas's house to get an explanation for his firing, but Thomas doesn't remember the incident. Pinnock takes Thomas hostage and demands he be paid for all the hours of work he has missed. In this film, all the authority figures and wealthy people are black, and Pinnock is a member of a poor white underclass. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Ted Hawkins: Amazing Grace
Ted Hawkins was often called the world's greatest street singer. Abandoned by his parents as a boy and enduring a childhood that could have inspired 100 blues songs, Hawkins made his way to California in his early 20s, determined to make a career for himself as a musician. When record deals didn't pan out and paying gigs failed to come his way, Hawkins would set up on the boardwalk of L.A.'s Venice Beach, singing to passers-by for tips. On more than one occasion, success seemed to be right around the corner for Hawkins, only to leave him back at the beach. But in 1994, Hawkins was signed to a major record deal and released the widely-acclaimed album, The Next Hundred Years, which earned rave reviews and paved the way for a successful international concert tour. Sadly, just as Hawkins was enjoying a new life as a working musician, he passed away on New Year's Day, 1995. Ted Hawkins: Amazing Grace offers an in-depth look at Hawkins' remarkable life and career, with plenty of footage of Hawkins onstage (including performances with Charlie Musselwhite and Pete Seeger) as well as interviews with family, friends, and fellow musicians, including Billy Bragg and John Doe. Harry Belafonte narrates. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Happily Ever After Fairy Tales: Jack and the Beanstalk
Jack and the Beanstalk is a classic story that transcends ethnic boundaries. After all, foolishness knows no color. Happily Ever After demonstrates this with an African-American retelling of the fairy tale. When Jack comes across some magic beans, he unwittingly plants danger in the backyard. HBO originally presented this universal program featuring the voices of Robert Guillaume, Harry Belafonte, and Tone-Loc. Jack must use his wits and luck to escape the rhyming giant. When he does, he learns a valuable lesson about greed. Jack and the Beanstalk is recommended for ages four to nine. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi

Devolver Digital formed by Gamecock, GOD games founders
Devolver Digital is apparently involved in the Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD coming to Xbox Live, and it has been discovered by BigDownload that the company is owned by none other than Mike Wilson and Harry Miller.
You know, the guys from Gamecock and GodGames?
When contacted by the site, Wilson said he and Miller "along with a few other old friends" are involved in the venture.
"We're basically acting as the production company for the XBLA game, since we are not an official MSFT publisher yet, and will be publishing the PC version of the games," he said.
"Croteam owns the IP still since they had a G.O.D. deal, and are therefore able to work with us again on the new version(s)."
They're baaaaack.

SouthPeak CEO: Gamecock brand in question, but "independent mantra" isn't
With infamous formerly-indie publisher Gamecock now in the clutches of SouthPeak Interactive, it seems the Ken Levine-heckling group's days of pranking and prodding are numbered.
SouthPeak CEO Melanie Mroz did little to allay this sentiment with a cryptic response to MTV Multiplayer's query on the topic.
"[The Gamecock label's future role] is still a work in progress. Lots of issues to resolve in terms of branding and such. Those discussions are on-going as we speak," she said.
However, though Gamecock may be on the verge of its final cluck, its spirit will live on at SouthPeak.
"We have stated goals of finding independent developers with unique IPs and with Gamecock gracing the pages of newssites everywhere, it was pretty clear who shared our beliefs. And there isn't anything to correct. Rather, we look to expand upon their efforts," explained Mroz.
"As I have said all day, the independent game developer is the heart and soul of this industry and the fact one publisher joins another doesn't change that… We do need innovation. Creative freedom. And respect for developers. Who can argue with that?"
Gamecock minus shenanigans equals Melanie Mroz. We imagine Gamecock might've actually done something other than piss people off if SouthPeak had commandeered the vessel sooner.

Gamecock to make Croteam announcement "soon"
Gamecock CEO Mike Wilson is preparing to announce the as yet unnamed Croteam game signed to the publisher, the boss has revealed in this interview.
"I still can't tell you [what's going on]," he said. "I'm hoping to very soon."
Croteam is the Croatian developer responsible for the Serious Sam games. The new title will use the Serious 3 engine, and has been described by the company as a "military tactical-action shooter" for PC and consoles. It's coming out in 2009.

DePauw Pulls out Another Ninth-Inning Win
March 27, 2008
March 27, 2008, Atlanta, Ga. - The 27th-ranked Tigers scored three runs in the top of the ninth and improved to 17-4 with a 13-10 non-conference win at Oglethorpe. The Stormy Petrels dropped to 7-19.
DePauw took a 5-0 lead with one in the first, two in the second and two more in the fourth, before Oglethorpe tied the contest with five in the bottom of the fourth. The Tigers regained the lead in the ffith on Jon Newman's double which scored Adam Ford.
Oglethorpe made it 9-6 with a four-run sixth before DePauw tied the game in the seventh with RBI singles from Sam Linette, Newman and Jeremy Dickinson. Matt Kleine's run-scoring single in the eighth plated Justin Weiner, who doubled and stole third, to give the Tigers a 10-9 lead.
The Stormy Petrels tied the contest again with one in the eighth on Brendan Pilger's leadoff homer. In the ninth, Linette led off with a walk and moved to second on Newman's single.
Dickinson moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt. Eric Reese drew a walk to load the bases before Weiner followed with a base hit which scored Linette. Newman and Reese scored on the play after an errant throw. Paul Rodenhouse allowed just one hit in the ninth in recording his fifth save.
Weiner, Linette and Newman each collected three hits, while Ben Gardner, Kleine and Ford each added two. Gardner, Kleine and Newman each drove in two and Newman scored four. DePauw stole seven bases in the game with Weiner and Newman each pilfering three.
Cliff Cross had three of the Stormy Petrels' 13 hits, while Pilger, Chris Lucas, Ben Giddens, J.J. Rizzo and Brandon McMichael each added two.
Tim Baldwin improved to 1-0 with the relief win, while Sam Briend dropped to 4-1 with the loss.
DePauw travels to Centre tomorrow for a 7 p.m. game.

Hi guys! Miss me? What'd I miss?
Episode 02 was actually quite fun indeed. I know it's going to be the complete opposite of my technically jargoned brain, but that's what makes it fun for me. They don't shove mind bending physics and incoherent highly unplausible flow of events down my throat, perfectly suitable to a fantasial setting such as this. Anya doesn't disappoint either (where have I heard that voice before), and even she brings luck to patrons, no matter how ridiculous the catastrophic means were. My only wish was that she does the Gate battles, so that we I can see her in various numbers of mahou shoujo transformational clothing For a moment there, I was about to question Elvis' lack of number crunching in regards to the wind, but they even covered that. There, no plot hole Now why doesn't anyone take Rio's Gate card and run off with it... That ridiculous guy can't see the beauty of girls, he is either the enemy of mankind or that was the most unique type of censoring that I have seen yet. I gotta admit, this is my kind of riludicrously stupid I even find myself wanting this over Freezing, and that is saying a lot there (after that laughably predictable start to Freezing, yeah). I guess I'll have to shift from story mode to fanservice when it comes to Freezing.

Speaking of the twins, just who is who (names). Last week was a little too much for me, so I'm a little whoozy on that. I don't want to keep going with my personal nicknames of Green Bunny and Blue Bunny, although I think that's funny enough. And, I like how the Green Bunny is the echo of Hattori Junko Blue Bunny

On second thought, I believe it is translated as Ania, but really, she's from Rrrrrussia (roll your R's now ) so I'll just stick to Anya and yeah, she's definitely the Goddess of Bad Luck, but I think towards Gatekeepers (can I call them that, seriously? Nostalgia is kicking in) only, which would be nice if that is touched up on later on. No stealing MY waifu! I really laughed when she bowed while carrying the broken wares, and poured it back down to the ground. I was slightly expecting it to happen twice Still though, nothing beats a miscalculation due to a band-aid

Well brand new face on Capitol Hill who served on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Is joining the ranks of those opposed to president Obama's choice for Defense Secretary.
Our next guest a conservative Republican who was sworn in last week.
Says former senator Chuck Hagel is not qualified to lead US troops in times of war.
Let's talk about it now with our because Arkansas congressman Tom cotton.
Congressman it would seem that a guy who came out of the Vietnam War with two purple hearts as Chuck Hagel did.
Would be unnatural at leading troops you say no -- John thanks for having me on Chuck Hagel certainly served our country admirably and valiantly and Vietnam.
But I can't be the.
So or even the primary consideration for being secretary of defense we have to look at his record his -- his statements.
And this is a man due in 2002 when it was popular.
Voted to send us toward Barack -- in 2006 it was unpopular turned his back in this troops he didn't just oppose the surge.
He voted to -- -- hasty withdrawal he delayed emergency funding.
He told the surged the most dangerous foreign policy blunder and our country's history since Vietnam.
Even said at the height of the surge a success in the fighting in Iraq that we're fighting a war for oil which puts him closer to code pink than it does the President Obama.
And the surge obviously when it was implemented under General Petraeus went on to work very well.
Correct nobody in the 2008 I think almost all observers had agreed that the surge would accomplish it purposes.
-- reduced violence not just gets American troops and Iraqi civilians.
-- Chuck Hagel is still citing other factors as the cost of the decline of that violence.
As if the surge hadn't happened and driven those factors themselves you had your own experience there I mean you were leading soldiers right in Baghdad and some of the heaviest fighting there.
That's right I was -- the -- later with a 101 airborne I had about forty infantry men.
With me and Baghdad 2006.
Coincidentally the week that we return from Baghdad.
Proud of our -- -- -- when Chuck Hagel wrote an opinion column saying that we can achieve no victory at the time for more troops fighting there had passed.
No one had told us they -- in the previous months were fighting in Baghdad at the time for the -- -- pat had passed or that we couldn't achieve victory.
At the same time Chuck Hagel is a former senator as you know the senate the world's most exclusive club they tend to treat their.
Members and their former members with kid gloves everybody seems to feel that Chuck Hagel.
If he's the guy that the president wants Chuck Hagel is going to go on to confirmation are you tilting at Windmills here.
Certainly hope not because the secretary defense is one of the most important positions in the executive branch after the president and the vice president.
And you look at Chuck Hagel record in the senate you'll see that he's outside the bipartisan mainstream consensus of other senators.
He voted against -- sanctions when the vote was 96 to two.
He refused to sign a letter condemning.
Anti semitism on the rise in Russia when nine in nine other senators signed it.
89 senators voted for sanctions in Syria he was not one of those senators so you when you look at his record even in the senate you'll see just health or outside the bipartisan mainstream consensus.
On foreign policy and national security he is bin.
And there has been a lot of discussion about the fact that congress has -- declining number of military service veterans that you are one as we mentioned you fought in nine Afghanistan and Iraq do you think.
That that qualification is important for a member of congress.
I think being a veteran especially having seen combat is valuable in any walk of life whether it's serving in congress.
Serving in local politics or in business are just as a community leader.
And I think that we bring certain.
Characteristics like leadership and poise under fire when the stakes are very high to the table.
But also it's not a prerequisite to be secretary of defense or serving congress.
We should look at our at one's views and -- record when we make such decisions.
This this is I believe a picture of Chuck Hagel during his Vietnam era service.
You you say you're you're an advocate for a strong military and a strong American presence around the world -- a guy who has.
Fought on the front lines why.
I think the world is safest when America's leading a world we've seen that throughout our history.
When we got withdrew from the world after having intervened in Europe after -- one what did we get we got -- -- to.
When we were not actively -- right from the very beginning at the world over to the Cold War began very quickly.
After Vietnam when we develop Vietnam syndrome that's when the Soviet Union went on the march in places like Afghanistan like Angola and so forth.
And I worry today.
If we withdraw precipitously from Afghanistan or not a leader around the world.
And our enemies will move on the march again and our allies will be -- -- wonder they can trust America to be steadfast by them.
Tom cotton is a newly elected member of congress representing Arkansas he has been.
The subject of a number of very flattering profiles in mountain and places like Washington Post and Politico.
Our viewers going to be hearing a lot from you I have a feeling over the next few years could have youngster thank you thank you John good to be here.

Microsoft has been talking up the connected home for a few years. Now, they are giving us a sneak peek at HomeOS, a "PC-like abstraction" that makes all of that magic happen using Microsoft technology.
The company just put out a white paper (via Electronista) on HomeOS and the company's research results. Built using C# and the .Net 4.0 Framework, the project ties smartphones, computers, lighting, sensors and other home goodies to a gateway. Where's Windows fit in? We're not sure, as it's never mentioned directly as part of the program.
Microsoft started deploying HomeOS in 12 homes a few months back, and results have been positive. Also, since its debut, new apps and other support has been added to the HomeOS program. Users can snag some of those apps from an app portal known as the HomeStore.
Will HomeOS and the HomeStore ever come to your home? Don't start planning your system just yet. There's no word on if or when Microsoft plans to bring the HomeOS system to market. However, Microsoft has been working on the project since 2010, so they appear to be committed to making something of it.

Facing the community: 'We're proud of you'
My heart pounds on the way to Honaker Community Library. The air feels heavy. I've decided the only way I can get through this reading without sobbing is to use a script. Luckily, I have the one from my book launch.
The first person I meet at the library is a friend of my parents. She tells me she's the widow of a Vietnam veteran; her husband died several years ago of complications from Agent Orange. The second person I meet introduces himself as a Vietnam veteran. He has tears in his eyes. "If you can help even one person understand what we went through, all this will be worth it," he says. "I'm buying your book for my two children."
My mother has agreed to sell books for me, so she sets up on the side of the room, and I walk to the table in front where there is a chair waiting for me. In no time the room is packed. Although I was a bundle of nerves when I walked in, I feel myself relax with each person I meet: old friends from church and from high school, neighbors, friends of my parents, people I've never met. I was worried about the mere act of being among the people of Honaker. After all, I'd lied to them for so long.
For many years, I'd imagined myself standing up in public (usually my fantasy happened in a church) and finally flinging open the doors of truth, telling all of Honaker about the way my family lived. The depression, the rage. My father hiding in his room, me hiding in my closet.
But I'd kept to myself the daily repercussions of the war that raged inside our home. Now every single person I talk to thanks me for writing this book. "We're proud of you," they say. Their words give me strength.
By 2:40, I am feeling more confident. There's standing room only. All 30-plus chairs are taken, and people keep coming in.
When I move over to the podium, I'm not terrified like I thought I'd be. I look out into the audience. Not a single person is frowning. I can feel their support, their love. It is amazing to me that these are the very people I've avoided for almost 20 years. I was afraid that if they knew the truth about my family and me, they'd ostracize us. I was so afraid our reputation in the community and the church would be ruined -- and that no one really cared about us. Yet here they all are, people who clearly care enough about my family and me to come today, and who obviously care about this story.
Before I start speaking, I think about how ironic it is that for 30 years I never gave my father a chance to tell his story. Once I did, we both found peace and healing. In truth, I've never really given my childhood community a chance either. I've assumed the worst of people because of my own fears.
I begin to speak -- not from my script, but from my heart. I tell them that I'm scared, that I didn't know how this would be, how frightened my mother and I were to tell the truth and it just about ate us alive inside. I tell them that what happened back then -- and the way my family dealt with it -- prevented me from having relationships with everyone in this room. I say I hope things will be different now.
I look into the eyes of everyone in my audience, and I know it will be so.
I move on to my script, and I read the prologue of my book. There are lots of questions afterward, and I can see people in the audience crying.
My father sings his song about Vietnam, and people gather around for me to sign their books. Most ask my father to sign, too, and I just sit back and watch and smile.
My father deserves this. Perhaps it's the welcome home from Vietnam that he never had. It feels like the welcome home I've always wanted, too.
Monday, November 19, 2012
I'm quiet on the long drive back to Atlanta, deep in self-reflection. I've reconnected with my community, and I'm happy about that. A story is nothing without an audience, and people showed up to hear mine. Mostly, though, I'm glad to be going back to Atlanta. It is a vibrant cultural epicenter, teaming with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, and I have flourished in this diversity. My mind is open now, and there's no closing it.
I may always call Honaker "home," but Atlanta has become my home, too. It's where my friends are, where I can build a quiet life in my own little house, and where I can wake up every morning to my chickens, my dogs and my garden. I have a piece of the country here with me, but I don't have to be constantly exposed to things that remind me of the war. It is such a peaceful feeling to know that in a few hours I'll be back in Georgia's capital city, a place where I have grown to feel completely safe.
As the miles tick by, I think about Grover Lambert and the many other people in Honaker who never had the opportunities I did. My parents had no money for college, but I was able to attend for free because of my father's PTSD disability. It was my ticket out of Honaker. I knew, even at a young age, that I had to leave behind the landscape and the people who triggered my PTSD. I had to start over on my own. I wanted to live.
As we leave the mountains behind and near Tennessee, I think about the old deer heads mounted on my parents' walls. They're the only décor left from when we lived in the trailer. Those deer heads have seen it all. And like my family, for years and years, they stood silent.
Writer Leroy Brownlow once said, "There are times when silence has the loudest voice." I believe that. For 30 years, silence was my default mechanism. It almost killed me. Talking to my father about the war broke a pattern my family probably would have held until the end. Publishing "Thirty Days with My Father" was a way to ensure I was never silent again, even long after I'm gone. Finally looking my community in the eyes and telling them the truth about my life was a way to make sure my family no longer has to carry our burden alone.

Cruise and liner history: SAILING THE GREAT LAKES on the SS SOUTH AMERICAN and SS NORTH AMERICAN
The history of commercial passenger shipping on the Great Lakes is long but uneven. It reached its zenith between the mid-19th century and the 1950s. As early as 1844, palace steamers carried passengers and cargo around the Great Lakes. By 1900, fleets of relatively luxurious passenger steamers plied the waters of the lower lakes, especially the major industrial centers of Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto.
The first steamboat on the Great Lakes was the passenger carrying Walk-In-The-Water, built in 1818 to navigate Lake Erie. It was a success and more vessels like it followed. Steamboats on the lakes grew in size and number, and additional decks were built on the superstructure to allow more capacity. This inexpensive method of adding capacity was adapted from river steamboats and successfully applied to lake-going craft.
