Oklahoma City Ballet celebrates 50th anniversary of its 1st "Nutcracker," plans 8 performances of holiday favorite
A version of this story appears in the Sunday Life section of The Oklahoman.
Oklahoma City Ballet celebrates 50th anniversary of its first 'The Nutcracker' performance
Oklahoma City Ballet again will stage eight performances of the traditional holiday favorite Friday through Dec. 15 and Dec. 20-22 at the Civic Center. The Oklahoma City Philharmonic will play Tchaikovsky's enduring score live at every performance.
Inside the Oklahoma City Ballet rehearsal studio, dancers leap athletically as they portray Russian candy canes, sinuously intertwine to call to mind Arabian coffee and execute complex footwork en pointe as they depict flute-wielding Danish marzipan candy shepherdesses.
For all the exotic treats it so famously represents, "The Nutcracker" is a staple for Oklahoma City Ballet.
"It's every ballet company's bread and butter in the United States because it's so popular," said Artistic Director Robert Mills, who choreographed the version Oklahoma City Ballet has been performing for the past six years.
This year actually marks the 50th anniversary of Oklahoma City Ballet's first performance of the perennial yuletide favorite, said company manager Lynna Schneider, who has been researching the company's history.
In December 1963, the Oklahoma City Civic Ballet, under the artistic direction of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo dancers Yvonne Chouteau and Miguel Terekhov, performed "The Nutcracker" with the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra at the Municipal Auditorium (now the Civic Center).
American Ballet Theatre principal Maria Tallchief, who died April 11 at age 88, danced as the Sugar Plum Fairy in that initial production. Tallchief and Chouteau are counted among Oklahoma's five famed American Indian ballerinas.
"That was the origins of the company," Mills said. "The first performances were … of the "The Nutcracker" and everything built from there."
Holiday favorite
Oklahoma City Ballet again will stage eight performances of "The Nutcracker" Friday through Dec. 15 and Dec. 20-22 at the Civic Center. The Oklahoma City Philharmonic will play Tchaikovsky's enduring score live at every performance.
"Tchaikovsky is a composer that really elevated music for classical ballet."Prior to some of the work Tchaikovsky did – 'Swan Lake,' 'Sleeping Beauty,' 'The Nutcracker' – music was kind of secondary … and if you were composing for ballet, you weren't looked at a serious composer," Mills said. "Then, Tchaikovsky kind of started composing for ballet and really changed things. It is incredible music, and of course, it's iconic for this time of year. Everyone recognizes many of those pieces of music when they come on the radio. When you're shopping for Christmas presents and it comes through the speakers, you know what you're listening to. It's synonymous with the holidays."
Originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, "The Nutcracker" is based on the E.T.A. Hoffman story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" and initially debuted in December 1892 in St. Petersburg, Russian. The ballet follows a girl named Clara, who receives a handsome wooden nutcracker for Christmas. During the night, the nutcracker comes to life, grows to human size, does battle with the Mouse King, turns into a prince and spirits Clara away to the Land of Sweets, ruled in his stead by the Sugar Plum Fairy. But is the adventure real or just a dream?
"It is a story about a young girl, so when you're taking kids to it, it's something they really identify with," Mills said. "People growing up in the United States – and it's across the world, but there's something about the popularity of 'The Nutcracker' within the United States – I personally feel like it is one of the traditions that get passed on from one generation to next." We all have the memories that are special to us (of activities) that we did with our families around the holidays growing up … and it's yet another opportunity to build memories with your family during the holidays."
Faithful version
The artistic director choreographed the local production, which bucks the recent trend of adapting the story to a new time or place.
"I just wanted to give our city a really true, beautiful version – true meaning the original libretto from its premiere over a hundred years ago. And it is very close … in terms of the classic roles, the classic characters," Mills said.
"There's plenty of people that come back year after year. Dance — and theater – is an art form that is really alive. It doesn't exist outside of the moment it's in performance, so every year, I can kind of tweak and change and add, whether it's a new costume here, a different set piece here, a little bit of the choreography's different. Every year, our company gets stronger and stronger, so I can elevate some of the choreography.
"The Nutcracker" isn't just a tradition for audiences: Many of the company members have been dancing in it since they were children. About 80 student dancers from the Dance Center of Oklahoma City Ballet – some as young as 7 – will perform in this year's production.
"They're just like wide-eyed little does looking at the sets and the costumes and the lights and the dancers. It's so fun to watch that," Mills said.
"This is my 32nd year of being involved in 'The Nutcracker,' and it would have been 33 but there was a year when I was a teenager that I missed because I was sick. I myself have gone from a kid in the party scene to directing the company and choreographing a version."
Oklahoma City Ballet's "The Nutcracker"
When: 7 p.m. Friday and Dec. 20, 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday and Dec. 21 and 2 p.m. Dec. 15 and 22.
Where: Civic Center Music Hall, 201 N Walker.
Information: 848-8637 or http://okcballet.com.
"The Nutcracker" children's activities:
"Letters to Santa": In the South Lobby beginning one hour prior to all performances, children will be able to prepare a letter for Santa and mail it to the North Pole.
Visit from Santa Claus: St. Nick will be in the main lobby one hour prior to all matinée performances. Families will have the opportunity to take their own photos with him as a holiday keepsake.
Dancer Meet and Greet: Following each 2 p.m. matinée performance, a Dancer Meet and Greet with refreshments courtesy of Braum's will occur in the main lobby, where children can meet, get autographs, and take pictures with dancers from "The Nutcracker," including Clara, the Nutcracker Prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and her Cavalier.

This report includes an inventory of data and information on the Iraqi marshland ecosystem; technical guidance on the assessment framework and tools for ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation with regard to the requirements for World Heritage nomination; and guidance on the development of a network in the field of ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.
Le tourisme de vision des grands singes, s'il est bien mis en application, peut servir à sauvegarder l'espèce, mais il peut également avoir de nombreux effets négatifs s'il est basé sur des principes de conservation mal définis. Ces lignes directrices ont été développées à l'intention des sites de tourisme de vision des grands singes existants et potentiels, et qui désirent améliorer le degré auquel leur programme contribue à la conservation plutôt qu'à l'exploitation des grands singes.
Marine News is the IUCN Global Marine and Polar Programme e-newsletter. It includes news stories related to a diversity of marine-related topics such as climate change mitigation and adaptation; threatened marine species; energy and industry; marine protected areas; marine invasive species; fisheries and aquaculture; ocean governance and the Arctic. It also highlights recent marine expeditions and outstanding marine photographs.
The purpose of this study is to advise State Parties to the World Heritage Committee on nonpolar deserts as potential World Heritage Sites of Outstanding Universal Value with a focus on geomorphological aspects. It also discusses some of the issues relating to the integrity and management of these areas and the need to conserve them.
With hundreds of stunning full-color photographs and more than twenty essays from some of the world's most respected scientists, this latest publication in the CEMEX Conservation Book Series aims to provide some of these answers. With scientific analyses, The Wealth of Nature offers a detailed explanation of the various ecosystem services that support and regulate all natural processes on Earth. It also provides cultural context for how these services are vital for our existence and why their futures – and ours – are at risk.
This magnificient publication vividly portrays the beauty and grandeur of World Heritages Sites in North America - where the ideas of national parks, wilderness preservation and the World Heritage Convention began. The astonishing range of natural geological and architectural sites includes the largest nonpolar icefield in the world in Yukon; a volcanic crater encompassing half of Yellowstone Park; the archaeological finds of Teotihuacan in Mexico; and the uniqueness of the Florida Everglades.
This book is a product of the Marine Conservation Sub-Committee, an advisory body on marine species issues within IUCN. The book features twelve stories of different ocean animals that highlight the latest issues in marine conservation. The tales in this exquisitely illustrated book are testament not only to the eccentricity of life in our oceans, but also the diversity of challenges and opportunities we face to conserve these marine marvels.
This is a new editon of the classic textbook on marine protected area (MPA) management in the tropics. With new case studies and ilustrations, the guide comes in a water-resistant cover for field use. It is intended for those who plan individual and/or national MPA systems and gives philosophical context for MPAs along with some basic principles and approaches.
IUCN helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. It supports scientific research, manages field projects all over the world and brings governments, non-government organizations, United Nations agencies, companies and local communities together to develop and implement policy, laws and best practice.

Bitch Magazine has an interview with Sarah and Candy of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, and it's pretty awesome. My favorite quote from it is, undoubtedly:
MV: Why should feminists read romance novels?
SW: It's a 50-plus-year-old industry comprised mostly of women writers operating their own businesses and producing a genre about women's self-actualization, pursuit of autonomy, and acquisition of sexual agency for an audience made mostly of women, who buy over $1.4 billion dollars worth of books a year. No, no, nothing feminist or even subversive about that.
If more people thought of it in these terms, maybe romance would cease being viewed as the most sexist, anti-feminist literary genre out there. It's not even close to being that; science fiction and fantasy, in my opinion, wins that one hands down – this is, after all, a genre where its acceptable for Harlan Ellison to grope a female author on stage and pass it off as a joke.
There's also some interesting discussion of Mandy Van Deven's use of 'smut books' to describe romance novels. I kind of agree with people who don't really like the use of that term, but in my case it doesn't have anything to do with the 'derogatory' connotations of the word – I use smut myself to describe my own erotic/pornographic writing. My problem with it is that it's…not accurate. For one, does any novel with explicit sex count as pornographic now? If so, I have a long list of more 'literary' novels that I'll now be referring to as smut.
And there's a second problem with the use of the word – not all romance even fits into Mandy's own definition. There's more than one subgenre where the sex is either nonexplicit or nonexistent. Where do these books fit?
But all in all, a really awesome article, and I'm glad to be seeing coverage of romance in the feminist press, if only so that the next time the fact that I admit to reading Claudia Dain and Sherrilyn Kenyon, I can have links to send to feminist friends who roll their eyes and accuse me of being counterproductive to the cause.
Yeah. It happens.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Jussi Jokinen scored on a deflection with 8:05 left to lift the Carolina Hurricanes past the San Jose Sharks, 3-2 on Friday night.
Jeff Skinner and Justin Faulk scored 3:03 apart in the first period for the Hurricanes, who let a two-goal lead slip away before regrouping to beat the Pacific Division leaders.
The Southeast Division's last-place team won its second straight, earned points in its sixth consecutive game and improved to 10-3-1 in its last 14 at home.
Dan Boyle and Brent Burns scored in a 2:26 span of the third for the Sharks, who fell to 1-2-1 midway through their nine-game road swing and have lost five of seven overall.
Justin Peters made 35 saves in his first start since Jan. 7 and third of the season. His first victory came in a battle of the backups against Thomas Greiss, who stopped 22 shots in place of Antii Niemi.

SEIU, upstart union in super-heated battle; 44,000 members at stake
NORTH BAY – Kaiser Permanente employees throughout Northern California begin voting today in a costly, high-stakes election that will likely determine the influence of two quarreling unions, each seeking to represent nearly 44,000 workers.
In one of the largest union votes to take place in decades, Kaiser employees will choose to either remain with the powerful Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, or join its rival offshoot, the National Union of Healthcare Workers, with both influence and an estimated $40 million in annual dues collected at stake.
From today through Oct. 4, a mail-in vote will be conducted that could significantly alter California's health care landscape. A vote count will begin Oct. 6. Employees could also vote for no union at all.
The two unions – in a unique battle that pits labor against labor rather than labor against employer – have clashed mightily on everything from when a vote could take place to legalities involving the existing contract that SEIU negotiated with Kaiser.
Now, as voting begins, the contentious battle has reached new heights, with NUHW proponents saying their rival puts organizational power over individual workers while SEIU advocates claim NUHW and its supporters ultimately undermine organized labor and jeopardize workers' collective bargaining power and the existing contract.
Thousands of medical assistants, respiratory therapists, medical records clerks and housekeepers across the North Bay will take part in the vote.
In Santa Rosa, about 1,250 employees will be included; in San Rafael, about 800; in Napa, about 120; in Fairfield, about 113; in Vacaville, about 550; and in Vallejo about 1,900.
"In their 19 months of existence, [NUHW officials] have not negotiated a new contract and have done virtually nothing for the workers who have joined them," said SEIU spokesman Steve Trossman, referring to elections at Kaiser facilities in Southern California in which NUHW won convincingly.
That vote and the subsequent negotiations with Kaiser have since become a major point of contention between the two unions and Kaiser.

Bombs discovered at Edmond apartment leads to two arrests
EDMOND — Two men were arrested Thursday after firefighters investigating smoke found two bombs in an apartment.
Casey Hampton, 18, and Hillrey Young, 21, were each arrested on three complaints of manufacturing an explosive device. Hampton faces an additional complaint of first-degree arson, officer James Hamm said.
Hampton lived in the apartment, and Young was a friend who sometimes stayed there, Hamm said.
What happened
About 4:30 p.m. Thursday, officers were notified about the devices at the Christopher Place apartments, 101 N Boulevard, police spokeswoman Jennifer Monroe said.
Bomb squad technicians disarmed two devices — one was a pipe bomb, and the other was described by technicians as an improvised explosive device, Hamm said.
The scene was cleared by 7 p.m., he said.
Residents in surrounding apartments were evacuated for several hours, Hamm said.
"I was watching a movie and heard what sounded like fireworks," said Jermaine Good, who lives at the complex.
He said he ran outside and heard the smoke detector going off and saw smoke coming from the apartment across the hall.
Good said the occupant of the apartment told Good he was smoking and had fireworks in his apartment, and that his cigarette got too close and ignited the fireworks.
Hamm said a passer-by reported an explosion in the area about 4:45 a.m. Wednesday, but officers did not see smoke or find anything suspicious when they searched.

I can't help to be sooooooooooo dissapointed with Simoncelli's pre-season so far.......
Almost a second behind 15th? 1.5 seconds behind the other rookies. Hopefully they had heavy mechanical issues and its fine tomorrow. Otherwise it promises to be a great season (NOT)


text: HEY! I was wondering if anyone else looking into Farcry 3 was hoping for a Predator mode. I think the game looks amazing so far but ever sinces Instincts Predator I was hoping they would bring that game mode back. If anyone agrees with me go ahead and comment and maybe we can convince Ubisoft to make a DLC after release or even implement it into the game. I read somewhere that they stopped putting it in because it doesnt fit the game style very well. It doesnt fit it very well but it adds a depth to the gameplay and with the wonderful map editor it adds hours of gameplay. I played Instincts Predator for hours on end just in mad editor making maps for it. I spend countless more hours playing online with anyone and everyone. So please help convince Ubisoft to add this to their fantastic game! =)

Written primarily for staff developers, professional development specialists, and school leaders working with teachers to improve their effectiveness, this is a professional development book focused on helping teachers understand and improve their assessment-for-learning practices in order to improve student learning. Built around opportunities for teachers to reflect on practice, consider alternative approaches, and put them into practice in their own classrooms, it offers a 4-step process for developing competency in formative assessment practices. In terms of formative assessment, teachers routinely ask and answer a series of three questions with and for students: Where are my students headed? Where are they right now? How can I close the gap between where they are and where I want them to be? In terms of the teachers themselves, the book calls on teachers to ask and answer parallel questions for themselves: Where am I going? What can formative assessment practice look like? Where am I currently in my formative assessment practice? How do I close the gap?

Since its publication in 2004, Civil Society has become a standard work of reference for all those who seek to understand the role of voluntary citizen action in the contemporary world. In this thoroughly-revised edition, Michael Edwards updates the arguments and evidence presented in the original and adds major new material on issues such as civil society in Africa and the Middle East, global civil society, information technology and new forms of citizen organizing. He explains how in the future the pressures of state encroachment, resurgent individualism, and old and familiar forces of nationalism and fundamentalism in new clothes will test and re-shape the practice of citizen action in both positive and negative ways. Civil Society will help readers of all persuasions to navigate these choppy waters with greater understanding, insight and success. Colleges and universities, foundations and NGOs, public policy-makers, journalists and commissions of inquiry - all have used Edwards's book to understand and strengthen the vital role that civil society can play in deepening democracy, re-building community, and addressing poverty, inequality and injustice. This new edition will be required reading for anyone who is interested in creating a better world through citizen action.

Campbellsville High School Class of 1963 hosted its 45th reunion on July 5 at the home of Mary Osborne.
Attendees reminisced about high school days, renewed friendships, enjoyed a dinner and played outdoor games.
In addition to Osborne, others who helped coordinate the reunion were Beverly Elzy, Donabeth Doyle, Betty Sue Schuhmann and Jane Noe.
Graduates of 1963 are asked to return to Osborne a brief summary of their life since 1963, their e-mail address and phone number. These will be used for the 50th reunion.
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell paid tribute to Dr. Bobby R. Himes in the Senate Congressional Record in July:
"Mr. President, I rise to note with sadness the passing of Dr. Bobby R. Himes, a retired Campbellsville University professor and star Kentuckian who will be greatly missed. After over four decades of service to his students, his community and the commonwealth of Kentucky, he leaves behind many loved ones and a great legacy of accomplishment. He was 76 years old.
Staff Report
The admission price for home games at Campbellsville Independent Schools is increasing. However, middle and high school students won't have to pay at all to attend games at their respective schools.
Campbellsville Board members approved an increase in the admission price for ball games to $5 at their regular monthly meeting last week. Superintendent Diane Woods-Ayers was out of town and Director of Pupil Personnel Kent Settle presided over the meeting in her absence.
Raymond and Arletia Rucker of Campbellsville announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Kristin Erin Rucker, to Benson Travis Sexton, son of the Rev. Thomas and Remona Sexton of Albany.
Rucker is a 2004 graduate of Taylor County High School and a 2007 graduate of Campbellsville University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry. She is employed as an admissions counselor at Campbellsville University and as a youth minister at St. Andrew United Methodist Church.
A former Campbellsville man is training members of the Afghan National Police and Army in Western Afghanistan.
Maj. Brian S. DeMers has been deployed overseas since January as a member of the Kentucky National Guard in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
He is the son of Celia DeMers of Campbellsville and a 1981 graduate of Campbellsville High School. His wife, Debbie Bertram DeMers, is also a 1981 CHS graduate.

A Campbellsville resident has been charged with selling cocaine in an indictment recently unsealed by a Taylor Circuit Court judge.
A grand jury may seal an indictment if there is a possibility that the accused will try to evade police.
Robert Leo Sallee, 33, of Anna Court was charged with first-degree selling cocaine.
Bond was set at 10 percent of $20,000 cash. If convicted, Sallee could be sentenced to as much as 10 years in prison.
- An indictment is a legal accusation only. It does not establish guilt.

The number 21 has double significance as the Sahalee Players Championship is set to begin Monday.
This will be the 21st time the elite men's amateur tournament has been played. And now in its third decade, the event is ranked the 21st best amateur golf tournament in the world by the international organization Scratch Players Group.
The Sahalee Players Championship (SPC) is ranked ahead of the U.S. Amateur Public Links and the California Amateur.
This year, the 68-man field for the three-day, 72-hole tournament at Sahalee Country Club includes Texas phenom Scottie Scheffler. He made headlines when he made the cut in the PGA Tour's Byron Nelson Classic as a 17-year-old in May. The University of Texas recruit is ranked as the No. 2 amateur in the world in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR).

"I've heard that it's a good course and a good field," Scheffler said in a telephone interview. "I've heard that the course is pretty tight and tree-lined."
The No. 10 player in the WAGR standings, Bryson Dechambeau, is back after finishing tied for second last year in the SPC, won by Andrew Yun, the 2013 Pac-12 champion from Stanford.
"It's one of the better amateur fields of the summer," Dechambeau said of the SPC. The product of Clovis, Calif., will be a junior at Southern Methodist in the fall.
The field includes Xander Shauffele, a senior-to-be at San Diego State who recently won the California Amateur.
As usual, there is a strong international contingent, led by 15 golfers from Australia and five from New Zealand. One of the Kiwis, Tae Koth, won the Australian Amateur this year. No overseas player ever has won the SPC.
At one time this month, 13 entrants in the field of 68 were in the top 100 in the WAGR.
An expected contender with local ties is University of Washington standout Cheng-Tsung Pan, who has qualified for the British Open next month. His world ranking is 44, and it has been as high as No. 1. Pan is one of eight Huskies, including recruits, in the tournament.
SPC winners include Kyle Stanley, Jason Gore, Peter Uihlein, Nick Taylor, Daniel Summerhays, Ryan Moore, Chris Williams, Arron Oberholser and Casey Martin.
Five of the past 10 SPC champions won the Ben Hogan Award, given to the nation's top collegiate golfer.
The format calls for 36 holes Monday and 18 Tuesday and Wednesday.
The SPC record is the 16-under 272 (68-69-68-67) shot in 2004 by Moore, now on the PGA Tour.
• The second Ryan Moore Junior Championship, an American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) event, will be held at the RMG Club at Oakbrook in Lakewood on Tuesday through Thursday. Moore will give a clinic Tuesday afternoon after the first round.
• The 80th annual Seattle Amateur will be Wednesday through Friday with round 1 at Jefferson Park, round 2 at Jackson Park and the final round at the West Seattle.

Spent all day (and evening) yesterday on location so I'm happy to be home resting and catching up on other work today. If you folks are interested in seeing 1 more, I could post the latest stitched sofa photo from this week's show.

2006 Honda Pilot Reviews
2006 Honda Pilot Reviews and Owner Comments
Login to Review This Car
2006 Honda Pilot (3 Reviews)
Hey... Anonymous from Seneca, SC with the 2007 Pilot: If your Pilot is a 2WD – From VIN 5FNYF2...7B000001 thru 5FNYF2...7B040535, this is a known problem. Look for Honda TSB 07-070 on the web or, better yet, go to your dealer and have them bring it up on the service computer... they should have known about this and saved you some your cash if your VIN falls in that group because, even out of warranty, the bulletin says, "Any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request consideration, and get a decision, before starting work." According to the bulletin, it's a 5 hour job plus the dealer's retail parts charge (9 rocker arms and 3 gaskets at around a grand).
Bought Pilot new in 06. The greatest purchase ever. Did have a squeaking sound at 33000 miles but Honda replaced the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump at no cost to me. It has been wonderful every since. This is the car for me and my family. Need auto seat and mirror ajustment.
works perfect, everything in order however Electrical console on passenger side keeps coming out, vibration as door opens and closes pushes it out all the time.

(Video) Residents of terrorized kibbutz asked to stay in secure rooms for fear of further firing by terrorists. Mortar shells continued to fall long after the gunmen left. Kibbutz resident: 'Nothing like this has ever happened here'
Roi Mandel
Published: 04.09.08, 17:27 / Israel News
Roi Mandel
Nahal Oz resident Larry Trento said, "Many mortar shells fell in the area, around five within the kibbutz, but no injuries or damage were reported. Nothing like this has ever happened here – such a huge amount of shells falling at once. The army closed all of the entrances to the kibbutz until the high level of alert is lifted. We are located 700 meters from the fence, so whenever an infiltration attempt is announced we announce alertness procedures."
Head of Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, Alon Schuster said, "The council has no resources to deal with such an attack; it calls for military procedures. We suspected a kidnapping which, to our relief, did not occur. We are very close to the border with Gaza, and therefore constantly wary of such attacks."
Shmulik Hadad contributed to the report.

I apologize for the extended hiatus. I am still getting adjusted to my new job, and have been in the process of buying a car (which was, fortunately successful and I now drive an SUV so if I do get in any more car-accidents, the damage hopefully won't be as bad.)
This outfit looks a little school marm-ish, I suppose, but it is very comfortable and feels a bit vintage, which I like. I wore this to work the other day with flats but I think it works just as well for a nice dinner, with a pair of chunky platforms.
I'm wearing an Elizabeth & James silk top, Marc by Marc Jacobs skirt, Missoni for Target cardigan, Miu Miu platforms and Balenciaga bag. The earrings are vintage Chanel.

Darnell Mayberry: It's likely the Thunder and Miami Heat will meet again in the Finals
The Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry took questions on the Oklahoma City Thunder today in his Power Lunch Chat. Join our Power Lunch Chat's Monday-Friday at 11 a.m. on NewsOK.com/Sports. Here's a recap of today's Q&A:
10:58 a.m. Greetings, ladies and gents.
10:58 a.m. Darnell, do you not agree that Jackson is a star in the making? How much longer can OKC hold on to him? If I were the Lakers, I would sign him as soon as is legally possible.
10:59 a.m. Star might be a little much. But I think he can be a really, really good player. The Thunder has him for two more years, and the team likes his potential. So I can't see him getting away anytime soon.
10:59 a.m. Probably we'll play against the Lakers in the first round.. do you think we are going to have some problems with them even if they are w/o Kobe?and what about the Toronto pick if a big like Len or Zeller is no more availbale at our choice? Greetings from a huge Thunder fan from Italy (sorry if my english is bad)
11:03 a.m. Your English is great. Thanks for joining us. I didn't think the Lakers would be much trouble with Kobe, so I definitely don't see them giving OKC many problems without Kobe. As for the Toronto pick, the Thunder is in a great position to take the best player available, regardless of position. Whoever the pick ends up being, it's possible that he won't play for a year or two anyway. That's a luxury.
11:03 a.m. Please tell everybody on the coaching staff to BURN those Navy Blue uniforms for the Play Offs it seems everytime they wear those uniforms they seem to loose the game. They aren't the true Thunder Colors and I wonder if that has something to do with it that they DON'T seem to feel like themselves when they wear them!!!
11:05 a.m. They went 6-5 in them. The team was 4-5 on the road. You want the coaching staff to petition the league to not play road games, too?
11:05 a.m. Looking ahead to the draft, Darnell, does Presti go BPA or does he pick a guy who can immediately come in and shore up the 2nd unit? And if it's the latter, what position in the 2nd unit needs upgrading the most?
11:05 a.m. I'm not sure there is a guy in the draft that could step onto this team and be a big-time contributor from day one. I just don't see it.
11:06 a.m. The way Parker has been struggling, do you think that thunder are the favorites to win the west in playoffs?
11:06 a.m. Now I do. Between letting go of Stephen Jackson and Parker being banged up, I think the Spurs are trouble.
11:06 a.m. Alex Len, Plumlee or Zeller, who is your pick?
11:08 a.m. Haven't seen Len so it'll have to be between Plumlee or Zeller by default. I've liked Plumlee more. But he's really the lesser of two potential evils so to speak in my eyes.
11:08 a.m. Do you see the Thunder using both 1st round picks on frontcourt guys? Or do you potentially see a wing player in the mix?
11:08 a.m. If the Thunder uses its late-round pick I see the front office going the draft and stash route.
11:08 a.m. Even at a discount, for what it would cost is it even worth re-signing KMart. He hasnt exactly been used properly all the time but he brings nothing off the dribble, defensively,doesnt absorb contact, etc. Have to think by next year Lamb can do some of those same things or you can find a more cost friendly replacement that is maybe a little more versatile.
11:11 a.m. I've always liked Lamb's potential. But while I think he can replace some of K-Mart's perimeter shooting, I'm not positive he can move without the ball as well doing things like cutting and working the two-man game like K-Mart does with Nick Collison. But money matters. And I just don't see the Thunder being able to bring back Martin. Not when a talent like Lamb, who would be a much cheaper alternative, is waiting in line.
11:11 a.m. With a win tonight against SAC, do the Thunder sit their starters/major players for Wednesday's finale? I'd love to see Lamb, PJ III, Brewer, Orton and Liggins for an extended period of PT.
11:11 a.m. It's possible. But Brooks has never done it, so I doubt it. It's much more likely that the main guys would play just 20-25 minutes on Wednesday.
11:12 a.m. Any general feelings from the players/coaching staff regarding who they want in the first round of the playoffs?
11:12 a.m. They don't care.
11:12 a.m. With the Thunder only needing 1 win in the last 2 to get the 1 seed, do you see Brooks resting the guys in the finale if they beat Sacramento tonight?
11:12 a.m. No.
11:12 a.m. Will Perkins and Kevin Martin play tonight?
11:12 a.m. No.
11:13 a.m. Playoff timeeee...I'm sure by the time you get to this Q someone has already asked how far you think we go. I'll ask, what is the key area that would keep the Thunder from a ship? (I won't take HEAT as the easy answer)
11:14 a.m. With the injuries and the Spurs letting go of Jackson, I've now got the Thunder making it to the Finals. Still can't see OKC beating Miami, though, so that's my pick. It's not an easy answer if it's true.
11:14 a.m. 2 games to go...the the big MOVIE begins on Saturday...
11:14 a.m. Ahhh, Harry Man. Welcome.
11:14 a.m. the kings tonight in OKC. OKC will rest all starters all of the 4th quarter..that is harry man's prediction...easy win for the thunder tonight
11:15 a.m. We shall see.
11:15 a.m. do you have any info about whats planned for the playoffs? are we doing t-shirts again?
11:15 a.m. Haven't looked into it yet. But I imagine the team will.
11:15 a.m. Do you think Perk gets too much money when you compare to Ibaka and Sefolowsha? Is Brooks saving Brewer for the playoffs?
11:16 a.m. No, because I don't compare him to those players. I compare him to what other starting centers are making. And last I checked Perk was pretty low on the list.
11:16 a.m. Can anyone beat the Heat in the East?
11:16 a.m. No.
11:16 a.m. Don't you think ideally the Thunder would prefer for the Rapors to get in the top 3 and use the pick next year w/ the deeper draft?
11:17 a.m. I'd take the pick whenever I could get it. That's just me. This could be a solid draft, in my opinion. Might not have much star power. But there could be a lot of players who could help down the line. And that's all the Thunder needs, not another star.
11:17 a.m. any rumors on the 1st playoff game? i have a wedding saturday night and dont want to miss
11:18 a.m. Before Kobe went down, it was all but guaranteed that the Thunder would open Sunday afternoon if the Lakers were the matchup. Now, it's anyone's guess. The league and networks might still want the Lakers and Thunder on Sunday afternoon even without Kobe.
11:18 a.m. best part of the nba begins saturday
11:18 a.m. You said that already.
11:18 a.m. also what time is being throwing out for the 1st playoff game?
11:19 a.m. My guess is it'll be Sunday at 2:30.
11:19 a.m. If and when do you see the rookies being called back up from the D-league?
11:20 a.m. With the 66ers in the playoffs, I'm not sure.
11:20 a.m. Will durant get the 99 points he needs for the scoring title?
11:20 a.m. Highly doubtful.
11:20 a.m. Can KD catch Carmelo for the scoring title?
11:20 a.m. Highly doubtful.
11:20 a.m. Why do you think the Thunder is more closed mouth on injury status vs other teams and are Perks/Martin's injury's serious or are they being conservative so ready for playoffs?
11:21 a.m. They're actually more forthcoming about injuries. They just don't provide many specifics about timetables.
11:21 a.m. How is Perkins' health entering this playoff season compared to last year?
11:22 a.m. Seems to be better. But this hamstring injury is a bit of a concern. But, remember, he didn't injure his groin until the first round against Dallas.
11:22 a.m. Kobe-less lakers wont even come close to winning a game against thunder, correct?
11:22 a.m. Correct.
11:22 a.m. Two questions: Will Reggie get more playing time? You're right when you say he is starting to show glimpses of Harden.
11:22 a.m. I can't see it.
11:23 a.m. Hypothetically, how awesome would a Western Conf realignment with OKC, NOP, DAL, SAS, and HOU in the SW be?
11:23 a.m. Not sure why it matters. You play them three or four times as is.
11:23 a.m. Question Two: Will Mark Stein ever stop mentioning the Harden Trade in everything he writes about the Thunder?
11:23 a.m. You'd have to ask him.
11:24 a.m. Will we see any Brewer in the playoffs do you think?
11:25 a.m. It's possible. But it's also possible that seeing him shoot Friday at Portland might have scared off Brooks even more.
11:25 a.m. how long is lawson out?
11:25 a.m. He's back. He played last night.
11:25 a.m. What are the odds we see Liggins in a playoff game? O/U 50%?
11:26 a.m. I'll take the over. I anticipate some garbage time throughout this run. That should give Dre some burn.
11:26 a.m. harry man liks spurs and heat (2 team sleeper) denver and Indiana
11:27 a.m. Not bad picks. But I can't see the Spurs getting past the Thunder anymore: 1) They let Jackson go. 2) They're banged up and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. 3) They're about to officially lose out on home-court advantage through the West Finals.
11:27 a.m. If the Thunder win it all this year, will they move "up" on the web page above the OU and OSU sections?
11:28 a.m. I don't make those decisions.
11:28 a.m. Can the rockets take care of the spurs for us?
11:28 a.m. Doubt it.
11:28 a.m. You just mentioned that the Heats will go all the way in the East Conference, do you not believe in the Kicks? they are 3-0 with the Heats.
11:28 a.m. No. No I do not believe in them.
11:28 a.m. Does Durant keep up the 50/40/90 pace in the playoffs?
11:29 a.m. It would be great if he did, but only if he did it naturally and didn't try to be selective in his shots to get it.
11:29 a.m. Follow up question: Do the "d-leaugers" have to be called up before the playoffs to be eligible to play or can they be called up after the play-offs start?
11:29 a.m. I'm not sure how that works.
11:29 a.m. True or false.....brewer was brought here for the sole purpose of guarding lebron if we make it back to the finals.
11:29 a.m. False. Nobody can guard LeBron.
11:29 a.m. You were pretty "sky is falling after the Thunder lost to the Knicks. This team is going to win 60 games, yet they are scrutinized and treated like a lottery team.
11:32 a.m. I've never been sky is falling. The fact of the matter is the Thunder went 5-11 against Miami, San Antonio, Denver, Memphis and New York. Think about that. Now, the Spurs are struggling and Denver could be down two key players for the rest of the year. Kind of opens up some things.
11:32 a.m. I think the daily oklahoman sports staff (all included) should have a nba bracket filled out with who wins the title published in the daily oklahoman.....what ya think about that great thought
11:32 a.m. Wouldn't be nearly as fun as the NCAA bracket.
11:32 a.m. Why did spurs release Jackson?
11:33 a.m. I have no idea. They had to have their reasons. Because from the outside looking in that looks pretty foolish.
11:33 a.m. Oladipo would be perfect for the the Thunder. Any chance he is still available at 9 or 10?
11:34 a.m. Doubt it. But I agree on the fit.
11:34 a.m. Who will make the All NBA 1st team? Any chance of Westbrook?
11:34 a.m. I'm afraid reputation is going to put Kobe and Chris Paul ahead of him.
11:34 a.m. Trey Burke = Monta Ellis 2.0 agree? I like Monta and would like to see Burke on the Thunder as a potential offensive spark off the bench
11:34 a.m. Not as big and not nearly as explosive of an athlete.
11:35 a.m. By the end of the playoffs (regardless of what round we exit) who do you think is the Thunder's MVP for playoffs? Russ or KD? Russ seems to elevate in the playoffs because he is such a specific matchup problem.
11:35 a.m. Co-MVPs
11:35 a.m. The guys on the 6ers just won a decisive game 3 on the road to advance in the D League playoffs. That has to help a little bit with the developments of "onions" right?
11:35 a.m. You'd think so. But NBA ball is a big jump from D-League ball.
11:35 a.m. Do you think Lebron will stay in Miami or go to a different team when his contract is up?
11:36 a.m. I think he's headed back to Cleveland.
11:36 a.m. Shouldn't Carmelo be deducted .5 ppg for missing several games while durant shows up every night?
11:36 a.m. Nah. But he should be outed for chucking so many shots.
11:36 a.m. Was Brewer brought in as insurance in case Thabo's plantar fasciaitis flared up again and he had to miss signficant time?
11:37 a.m. Ronnie Brewer was brought in solely because he is a quality player who has been on some quality teams. He is like any other acquisition. The power that be thought he could help, and that's what he's here for.
11:37 a.m. Interesting on the Thunder record against other top teams. How do the other teams' records against top teams compare?
11:38 a.m. I haven't studied the other teams records against the same opponents.
11:38 a.m. Yeah the Thunder are 5-11 against those teams you mentioned, but I think 4 losses were off the buzzer beater variety
11:39 a.m. I know the Thunder lost one each against the Spurs and Grizzlies that way. I'm not remembering the other two you speak of at the moment.
11:39 a.m. so ask your sports editor about the nba bracket. would love to see the experts predictions including pine tar baldwin...(THABEET)
11:39 a.m. Cool.
11:39 a.m. is Thabeet going to get fined or suspended for.....
11:39 a.m. That's one of the things I'm looking forward to hearing this week.
11:40 a.m. Who leads the thunder in shots per game in the playoffs?
11:40 a.m. Westbrook.
11:40 a.m. I thought that Monta was little dude?
11:40 a.m. Nah. He's like 6-3.
11:40 a.m. Thanks for your time, Darnell. I gotta bounce.
11:40 a.m. Thanks for joining us.
11:40 a.m. If James heads back to Cleveland...Does that massively open the door for the Thunder? Obviously a lot of shifting will happen, but it's a window...right?
11:41 a.m. Uh, the Cavs have this young killer named Kyrie...
11:41 a.m. thunder 116 kings 97
11:41 a.m. Thanks.
11:41 a.m. What is Brooks thing with not sitting the main guys? And also, Wolverine's consecutive game, do you think it would ever impact sit or play decisions when he could definitely use a rest?
11:41 a.m. The main guys are 24 years old. It'd be different if they were 28, 29 or, say, 36...and, yes, Wolverine don't sit.
11:42 a.m. Any chance K-Mart resigns with the Thunder. Sure doesn't look likely. If not who would be a good fit? Is Jeremy Lamb ready?
11:42 a.m. Read the recap.
11:42 a.m. Does postseason success come down to whether tabo, Martin, and fish can hit their spot up threes? If so how confident are you in them?
11:43 a.m. It doesn't come down to that. But in a potential rematch against the Heat, that will help immensely. I'm confident in Martin and Thabo. Fisher has been so streaky that I haven't seen anything in his offense that makes me confident he'll be there when needed.
11:43 a.m. Do the Thunder have to win it all to be vindicated in the Harden trade or would just making the Finals again suffice?
11:44 a.m. Just making it would suffice. I don't see how anybody could blast the franchise for getting back to the same round that it did with Harden. Besides, how many teams make it to the Finals two straight years. If the Thunder did, especially after losing a player like Harden, it'd be an amazing accomplishment.
11:44 a.m. How much is Westbrook salivating at facing Steve Blake in the first round? He might average 40!
11:44 a.m. :)
11:44 a.m. Chris Broussard just put Russ on the 3rd team all NBA...What's up w/ that guy?
11:46 a.m. I don't know. But I'm thinking about Russ for first team. He's been phenomenal. He's played every game. His production is on par, if not better, that all his competition. And he's had every bit as much to do with the Thunder having the conference's best record as KD.
11:46 a.m. Why you no love me?
11:46 a.m. :)
11:46 a.m. Looking forward - will the thunder follow the path of the Spurs or the Suns? I fear they will follow the Suns' path (Joe Johnson and James Harden deals are eerily similar).
11:47 a.m. Suns didn't have Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.
11:47 a.m. Thanks for joining us today. Have a great week, and enjoy the game tonight.

Neon Hitch f. Tyga - "Gold"
Here's a little known fact about Neon Hitch - she was Amy Winehouse's old flatmate out in London. She also came from a gypsy family, which I feel adds to the flavor of her music. I have my issues with Bruno Mars (he's the co-writer on this track), but I can't lie, this song is pretty hot. Neon Hitch has this versatile voice that travels through many octaves when she sings, and it's just so beautiful. Granted this song is pretty EDM-slash-Pop-heavy, but Neon's voice manages to shine through regardless. Adding Tyga in was pretty smart. For one, Tyga's "Coconut Juice" beginnings have offered him the ability to be a chameleon in music, showing up on hard ass tracks like "Rack City" to really poppy joints like this one. Perhaps it's the fact that he's related to Gym Class Heroes' Travie McCoy that he understands both the Hip Hop and the Pop worlds pretty well (Neon Hitch was also on GCH's "Ass Back Home"). Either way, they strike a perfect balance on a radio-friendly track. I dig it. - Kathy Iandoli (@kath3000)

Torae - "The Journey Part II"
For almost five years, I've been a really big Torae fan. At a time when so many rappers are about projects, this Coney Island "young veteran" really puts his energies into album-worthy projects. That's precisely why I've purchased Torae's releases over the years and still keep them in the collection to this day. One of my favorite tracks that I still play regularly is "The Journey," from Daily Conversation. One of the things Tor is particularly great at is helping a fan/critical like myself really understand the hustle and grind of getting on. The original song traced Tor's time running with The Diplomats, meeting power-producers in elevators and getting the industry okie-doke time and time again. With his Off The Record digital EP coming, I was really shocked to hear a part two this week. With DJ Eclipse, Torae's Sirius XM radio partner on the decks, the follow-up picks up with Torae's do-or-die approach to getting onto radio, into stores and his dream actualized. Years later, something worked, but the record shows how difficult making a career in Hip Hop can (and probably should) be. This is dope storytelling and the kind of radio-rip that reminds me of a pure and exciting time in Hip Hop. - Jake Paine (@Citizen__Paine)

Wrekonize - "Mighty Healthy Freestyle"
When talking about Ghostface Killah's "Mighty Healthy" I get to use a descriptor normally reserved for hyperbole-fueled ads for things like Revlon cosmetics, Bulova watches or luxury sedans and the metal marbles that are able to roll along the edges of their hoods. Yes, track #9 off 2000's Supreme Clientele is the definition of "timeless perfection." So freestyling over its beat - largely responbile for the song's magic - which combines a classic Melvin Bliss break, a surprisngly ominous Sylvers sample and one disconcerting shot from James Brown's "Funky President" is akin to trying to cover Hendrix, The Stooges or Pink Floyd with your bar band. Yet once every few years a freestyle pops up like this week's from MAYDAY!'s Wrekonize that conquers the track thanks to a fresh voice, delivery and interpretation of the paramters of the production. I'll even go as far to say that Wrekonize's "Mighty Healthy" freestyle is one of the greatest takes on a Wu instrumental I've ever heard. As was evident on this year's sleeper hit Take Me To Your Leader, Wrekonize doesn't shy away from the darkest backdrops amd can rock the positive mental attitude and revenge fantasies within the same verse. Just listen to the first minute of our current pick that feaures bars like " I don't regret the past with Roc-A-Fella, because today my acapellas chop letters into half-chewed mozarella..." Add in things like Breaking Bad and Juggalo Gathering references and you're about ready to slip and ask Pretty Tony who?

"As can be seen in the list of donors, they hold diverse opinions and do not all belong to one camp. His approach is that funds should be raised abroad so as not to put anyone in a potential conflict of interests, and this is the reason he prefers donations from abroad."

Jennifer Hudson To Perform Whitney Houston Tribute At Grammy's
February 12, 2012 09:34 AM by Shayla Perry
Throughout the course of her impressive career, Whitney Houston was nominated for a total of 26 Grammy awards, winning 6. Tonight, the music industry will honor the late Being Bobby Brown star, who died of what's presumed to be a drug overdose on Saturday (February 11), and it's reported that American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson has been tapped to perform in the special Whitney Houston tribute, along with R&B legend, Chaka Khan.
"The Grammys, because of the size of the production and all of the elements – with three stages and thousands of microphones and sets and costumes — it's a difficult show, like the Titanic, to move in the 11th hour," Recording Academy president Neil Portnow told The Hollywood Reporter shortly after news of Houston's death went public.
"That being said, I have the A-Team and I have a bunch of nimble people who are very smart, and we're in the process of deciding creatively what might be appropriate and what we can do tomorrow," he continued. "Certainly, she'll be in our hearts."
Grammy Executive Producer Ken Erhlich assures fans that Jennifer Hudson will perform a "respectful musical tribute" during tonight's CBS broadcast.
"It's too fresh in everyone's memory to do more at this time, but we would be remiss if we didn't recognize Whitney's remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and, in particular, her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years," says Erhlich.
Be sure to check back with RTVM for more details on Whitney Houston's death, as they become available.
The 54th Annual Grammy Awards, featuring Jennifer Hudson's tribute to the late Whitney Houston, airs tonight at 8|7c on CBS.

Happy National Coming Out Day!
The twitterverse has been a buzz all day, as people have been stepping up to support the day, encouraging those ready to come out. But while the average twitter user has kept "Happy National Coming Out Day!" trending worldwide all day, the celebrity support has been a little lacking.
In fact, even notable gay rights supporters like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are yet to have tweeted about the day. While Ke$ha doesn't seem to have made it to Twitter, she has shown her support pretty openly online, selling T-shirts for the day to benefit the Human Rights Campaign.
However, there were those that took a few seconds to address the trend. You can see some of the most notable tweets from celebrities and politicians below.
Also, be sure to check out these 15 incredible stories about coming out, and prepare to be moved.

We've all read the threads where someone wants/or has actually chased like hell to catch up to a car @ a stop sign/red light to "vent a little frustration" because the motorist got a little too close. Or perhaps has even taken it a step further & actually taken physical action against said motorist. I think all experienced cyclists can distinguish a friendly "toot-toot" of a car horn as compared to a long,steady blast
or the "laying on the horn" which roughly translates "get the f*ck off the road a**hole or even worse you're on a narrow road & half of a double wide moblile home is rapidly approaching from behind. So what I wondered is this? How many acknowledge those "good" motorists? With a small wave, large wave, just a slight lift of the hand off the bar? Maybe saying thanks @ the stop sign/red light if they maybe pulled over & gave you plenty of room when they passed. I believe there are those motorists out there that do actually see us & respect our right to ride on the public roadways.

Pierre and also does Pierre play basketball. I know it's a wierd question. Here is why I asked. I am reading Bill Simmons Super Bowl Diary and Pierre Palo from Ames, Iowa made a comment down at the bottom of Bills article about the super bowl. Just curious.
Bill Simmons: Super Bowl diary - ESPN
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
most random question of the year....
lol who cares?
According to cyclones.com, Bubu's father is named Pierre
Ahh. So his dad is Pierre. Just curious because it's weird reading an article and seeing a familiar name from a familier city.
Pierre Palo graduated from Ames High in 2004. Played some soccer but was in line for the bathroom when the man upstairs was passing out athletic ability. BooBoo got in line twice. Pierre was not the athlete that Boo Boo is.
Hit it hard, every yard
Also it's a big deal when Simmons put you on the e-mail. It's the holy grail for e-mail guys.

The battle over returning legitimate files and data stored on Megaupload's servers has hit a brick wall leaving anyone who made the mistake of storing important data there uncertain about whether they will ever get it back. Megaupload's 1103 servers are gathering dust at Carpathia Hosting in the United States and Megaupload lawyer Ira Rothken tells TorrentFreak that, despite best efforts, efforts are stalled. They blame this continued delay on the US Attorney's Office.
"They favor the Hollywood Oligopoly over innocent consumers who lost access to their data," Megaupload lawyer Ira Rothken said.
After negotiations to retrieve innocent users' data failed earlier this year, one of Megaupload's users lost patience and decided to take action with the help of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Business owner Kyle Goodwin filed a motion with the court asking it to find a workable solution for the return of his data, and that of other former Megaupload users. The Judge overseeing the case, Judge Liam O'Grady, didn't make a ruling on the case; instead he ordered the U.S. government, Megaupload, and other parties to continue negotiating some sort of solution. Two months later and the negotiations have failed… again.
Fast forward another two months and these negotiations have failed once more.
The EFF said that it saw no other option than to go back to Judge O'Grady, but the Judge isn't in any hurry to make a ruling apparently.
"Negotiations went nowhere, which is why we went back to ask the judge again for the return of user data," EFF attorney Julie Samuels told TorrentFreak. "We're all waiting to hear from the judge. Until the court does something, our hands are unfortunately tied."
Megaupload's defense team blames U.S. authorities for the hold on legitimate data and thinks its actions are a violation of due process.
"We believe the Government's aggressive conduct violates due process," Rothken said.
EFF and Megaupload are hoping that Judge O'Grady will come up with a solution for the possible return of the user data. In addition, Megaupload is hoping that the Judge will dismiss the entire case.
"We are looking forward to the US Federal Court ruling on the consumer data access issue and Megaupload's motion to dismiss," says Rothken. "The greater the delay the greater the injustice."
