July 17, 2006
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Robert W. Walsh this evening presented the 2006 New York City Neighborhood Achievement Awards to fourteen recipients at Gracie Mansion. The awards honor outstanding organizations, businesses and individuals that have enhanced New York City neighborhoods by fostering small business activity and creating greater economic opportunity for an entire community. Kevin Burke, Chairman and CEO of Con Edison, and Jacqueline Arrington, Director of Community Relations for Citibank North, were also in attendance to present the awards. Con Edison and Citibank were once again sponsors of this year's awards ceremony.
"There are hundreds of organizations, businesses and individuals whose efforts have been instrumental in invigorating our neighborhoods and the small business community in New York City," said Mayor Bloomberg. "I am delighted to recognize the exceptional work of these fine organizations who have demonstrated ingenuity, excellence and passion for making New York City's great neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs even better. Tonight, we celebrate their achievements, both large and small, and we look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with them in the future."
"Mayor Bloomberg created an environment where businesses, organizations and individuals can be creative, share best practices, and work to improve their communities," said SBS Commissioner Walsh. "It is the commitment to this ideal that we celebrate here tonight. This is the fifth year that we have been recognizing the great work of organizations throughout the city, and the results of their efforts can be seen throughout the five boroughs. SBS is committed to providing continued support and leadership to these groups. When small businesses, communities and government come together to improve neighborhoods, there really is no limit to what can be accomplished."
New York City's Business Improvement Districts, Local Development Corporations, nonprofits, businesses and other local organizations nominated projects in the seven award categories listed below. SBS administered the nomination, evaluation and selection process in collaboration with the selection committee of John Banks of Con Edison, Hector Ramirez of Citibank, Carolyn Clevenger of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, Maria Torres of the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding and Dr. Mitchell Moss of New York University. The following are tonight's awardees:
Development Award
The Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC) has been bringing vitality, economic opportunity and affordable housing to the streets of Brooklyn since community activists founded it in 1977. After growing substantially during the past decade, FAC needed a new facility to house the holistic set of services it offers. As a longtime champion of smart, neighborhood friendly development, FAC challenged itself to create an exemplary community facility that would serve a variety of purposes. The result is the new FAC Center for Community Development at 621 DeGraw Street, a 27,000 square foot multi-purpose center, constructed of green materials, which is ideally situated for FAC to continue its work of empowering the community as the area evolves.
Placemaking Award
The Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) first had the idea to create a public event that exemplifies the vibrancy of Staten Island's communities in 2004. The result was The Staten Island Film Festival, a four-day event in June of 2006, which showcased 113 independent films from around the world at nine venues throughout the borough. Over the course of the weekend 4,500 people flocked to the festival from both on and off the island, creating what is already being called a new cultural tradition for Staten Island.
Jacques Torres, an internationally renowned chef, converted a derelict brick warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront into a one-of-a-kind chocolate factory in 2000. In 60 days, working alongside a waiter and a fellow chef, he created an aesthetically unique factory and retail store in a space that had been abandoned for 60 years in a neighborhood where few businesses had set up shop. Today Jacques Torres Chocolate employs 20 workers and is one of DUMBO's signature destinations. This store has acted as a prime catalyst for growth and entrepreneurship in DUMBO by proving that the neighborhood could have a viable retail community and helping transform the community into an attractive place to live, work and play.
Shake Shack has quickly become both a cherished culinary and cultural phenomenon since its inception just one and a half years ago. Delighting thousands of hungry patrons, this dynamic community gathering place has sparked new opportunities for neighborhood involvement and appreciation. Its unique partnership with the Madison Square Park Conservancy guarantees that a portion of Shake Shack's revenue flows directly back into the park - creating a synergy that ensures the park will continue to grow as a neighborhood hub.
Partnership Award
The Chelsea Cultural Partnership (CCP) is a coalition of cultural organizations and businesses located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Founded in 2003 by Dance Theater Workshop in association with The Joyce Theater and the Atlantic Theater Company, it brings the community's wealth of cultural institutions together to work toward building awareness of all that Chelsea offers. Destination Chelsea: 13 Thursdays, CCP's most recent campaign to attract shoppers and visitors, proved to be a successful collaboration amongst the businesses and cultural institutions of the neighborhood, laying the groundwork for future promotional efforts.
The Doe Fund's Ready, Willing & Able program began in 1990 when its founders decided to tackle the plight of homelessness in New York. The program targets the hardest to serve homeless population: single, able-bodied adults, the majority of whom have histories of incarceration and substance abuse. Ready, Willing & Able is a holistic, residential, work and job skills training program which empowers, employs and supports homeless individuals in their efforts to become self-sufficient, contributing members of society. To date, it has helped over 2,200 men and women become drug-free, secure full-time employment, and obtain their own self-supported housing. In turn, the trainees and graduates make New York City's neighborhoods cleaner and more attractive places to live, shop and do business.
Workforce Innovation Award
The Church Avenue Merchants Block Association (CAMBA) partnered with Whole Foods, the United States' largest organic supermarket, to build an employment training program to respond to the explosive growth the chain experienced in 2005 and 2006. This partnership has provided Whole Foods with over 100 expert customer service personnel. The new employees include refugees from over 20 countries and underemployed New Yorkers from the poorest neighborhoods in the City. These jobseekers with workforce obstacles now work full-time with benefits in a highly motivating environment where internal promotion and incentive bonuses are available to all.
Nontraditional Employment for Women (NEW), since its inception in 1978, has played a unique, pioneering role in preparing disadvantaged women for jobs in the construction and utilities industries. Through strong partnerships with the City and State, employers and unions, the program places hardworking, resilient women in jobs that offer good wages and essential benefits and enable them to achieve economic self-reliance. The NEW at Night Program provides a training option for women who work during the day, often at jobs paying at or below minimum wage, or for those who have childcare or other responsibilities that prevent them from taking daytime classes.
Small Business of the Year Award
Abu's Bakery is a charming family-owned store which Idris Conry opened in 2000. The next year, when he could no longer run the store due to illness, his son, Idris Braithwaite, took over. With no previous baking experience, he faced countless challenges and the business struggled. But thanks to help from dedicated friends he managed to accomplish a complete turnaround, and the bakery is no longer a fledgling mom-and-pop store, but a destination and a community fixture. Abu's now serves as a model for positive change and adaptation within the neighborhood, and continues to provide delicious baked goods to the Bedford Stuyvesant community and all those who come from near and far.
LeNell's: A Wine & Spirit Boutique, was founded in 2000 by Tonya LeNell Smothers, and quickly became one of Red Hook, Brooklyn's model businesses. Set along the cobblestones of Van Brunt Street, Ms. Smothers uses her shop as a way to bring the community together and infuse it with new life by treating her customers like guests in her home and sharing her extensive professional knowledge with them, often introducing them to smaller, independent brands locally owned by women and minority entrepreneurs. LeNell's is a source of encouragement and inspiration for the area's prospective business owners, providing a wonderful example of a successful small business making an impact in the community.
M/WBE Advocate of the Year Award
Netfast Communications, an IT firm founded by Joe Asady in Long Island City in 1994, achieved success by combining engineering and network expertise with a level of customer service that many bigger firms lack. When it was founded, there were few minority-owned companies in the IT business, and the market was crowded with competition. The company now earns $15 million in annual revenue, maintains a dynamic and diverse workforce of 25 employees, and is an active participant in the revitalization of Long Island City, encouraging young entrepreneurship.
Per Scholas was founded in 1995 by a consortium of leading foundations and corporations to build and distribute computers at a significant discount to schools serving diverse, low-income neighborhoods. In partnership with the City, it provides newly certified Minority- and Women- Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) with refurbished computers for $200 each, with all of the appropriate software the business needs pre-installed. Per Scholas also trains the business in the use of necessary software. Since January of 2006, 86 M/WBEs have purchased equipment through Per Scholas. In addition, Per Scholas runs a nationally recognized job training program for unemployed men, who in turn refurbish the computers that the organization sells.
Leadership Award
Dr. Lee Stuart has played an important role in the revival of the Bronx for more than 20 years. In 1992, she became the lead organizer of South Bronx Churches (SBC), a network of 35 Christian and Muslim congregations. SBC's signature projects under Dr. Stuart's leadership included the creation of the Bronx Leadership Academy High School in 1994 - one of the first small public high schools in the City - and the SBC Nehemiah Program, which created over 900 units of affordable housing in Mott Haven and Melrose between 1992 and 2004.
In addition to the seven categories for which nominations were received, one individual was honored for contributions he made to the City over the course of his careers:
Special Achievement Award
Eugene McGrath, the former Chairman and CEO of Con Edison - a role he held from 1990 to 2006 - has not only led a company whose services are critical to the day-to-day operation of New York City, but also served as one of the City's most active and involved community leaders. As the head of the area's largest employer, Mr. McGrath ensured that Con Edison was an integral community partner in improving quality of life in New York City. He played an instrumental role in revitalizing the Union Square neighborhood as Chairman of the Union Square Partnership from 1990 to 2006, beautifying Union Square Park and sponsoring programs for students at Washington Irving High School. He has also been an active board member in numerous civic, cultural, educational and economic development organizations, such as the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the American Museum of Natural History, the Central Park Conservancy, Barnard College, Manhattan College and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.

Potluck Beans Slow Cooker Recipe
Our wonderful neighbors, Sandy and Sherman, have been making this bean recipe for a good twenty years to take to family events and potlucks.
It's a lovely recipe.
I made it last week to bring to a potluck party up the street (Sandy and Sherman weren't at this particular get-together, but their daughter was!) and overheard many happy murmurs, and received lots of compliments.
This is evidently a bean dish for people who don't even like beans (which I can't imagine. I dream about beans.)
You've got to break out the skillet out for this recipe. I know. I'm sorry. It'll be okay, though. I promise.
The Ingredients.
serves a lot. I'd guess 15-18 nice-sized servings.
1 pound lean ground meat, browned and drained
1 pound smoked bacon, browned, drained, and diced
1 medium onion, diced and browned
1 cup ketchup (no need to brown!)
1/4 cup brown sugar (already brown!)
1 (30-ounce) can Pork n' Beans (I love products with the "n" instead of an &)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, drained and rinsed (they look like huge lima beans, and if they aren't in the bean section, try the canned veggie section)
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (yup, it's gluten free!)
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart or larger crockpot. This makes a lot.
In a large skillet, brown the hamburger, bacon, and onion. You could probably do this all together, but I did the bacon separately (and woah, mama. pork bacon spatters *way* more than turkey bacon, but it tastes a whole lot better, so I sort of got over it rather quickly. for me. I hate spattery messes.)
While the meats and onion are browning, add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker. No need to really stir things up quite yet, or the beans will fall apart. Drain the meats well, and dump into the slow cooker. Use a large spoon to gingerly fold in the hot ingredients.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Stir well and serve to your very best friends.
remember to clean the stove!
The Verdict.
I really liked these beans. I liked that they were comfort food, but didn't come across as just doctored up pork n' beans, which was my initial concern. I liked the meat in there, and when I make them again (which I WILL, and soon!), I might cut back a bit on the quantity of the meat---not because it was overwhelmingly meaty---but more because I don't think the flavor would be compromised and I could get away with it without notice. Kind of more like a challenge, I suppose.
All the kids at the party who tried the beans loved them, and my girls ate leftovers happily for lunch the next two days.
Thank you, Sandy and Sherman, for sharing your famous beans!

A GROUP of protesters, who are due to line the streets this afternoon, are unlikely to cause any disruption to residents or shoppers, police have said.
They are protesting against the 'British Government's silence' on the ongoing violence in Gaza in the Frogmoor area, High Wycombe, today.
Campaigners have previously staged protests in Bradford, Birmingham and London.
A number of officers have been working with the protesters to keep disruption to people in the town centre at a minimum.
Chief Inspector Colin Seaton, Deputy Local Police Area Commander for High Wycombe, said: "It is the right of people to protest in a peaceful manner and so we are helping to facilitate that.
"We are not anticipating that there will be any noticeable disruption to residents and visitors to Wycombe town centre."
A spokesman from the organisers of the Free GAZA High Wycombe protest group said: "This is not about colour, nor is it about religion, this is about humanity."
The protesters will be in the Frogmoor area from around 11.30am and the planned protest is expected to last a couple of hours.
If you have any concerns or questions please contact police on 101.

My kids have two speeds: impatience and slow motion, whichever is the most frustrating for the given situation.
My kids have two speeds: impatience and slow motion, whichever is the most frustrating for the given situation.
You need some extra time to, say, meet a deadline? Whatever they want can't come fast enough: a snack, a playdate, a password, a resolution to a ridiculous argument, a witness to a new, never before seen basketball move. Whatever non-vital thing it is, it must be seen, heard, mediated or eaten before you draw one more breath.
Now, let's say you are in a hurry to get somewhere. Like school. Which is 20 minutes away and begins in 10 minutes.
That's when the cement gets injected into their muscles. Because you could finish all 1,104 pages of Infinite Jest in the time it takes them to put on a coat. You can also count on some sort of last-second unecessary need. Like the shoes need to be untied and tied again, because they look funny. Or he needs different socks. Or a Lego man. Or, the event that most often thwarts all parents who enjoy being punctual: The Exit Poop.
The opposing speed phenomenon happens with such regularity that one of two reasons must be likely: My children are not swift enough to pick up on subtle cues, such as my exasperated shouting for them to move it. Or, they absolutely pick up on it and have – in their short lives – mastered passive aggression. Both are equally off-putting.
I have tried many things to get the kids up to my speed, such as padding exit time with extra minutes, countdowns, checklists, prayer, docking of allowance and screen time, but nothing really sticks. Somehow it's always past time to leave and someone is in the bathroom or tying a shoe.
It happens even on holiday vacation, when really, there is no urgency to leave the roller skating rink — except for the fact that I can't take one more second inside that building with the pizza grease smell and the One Direction at an unnecessary volume and the cacophonous blasting video game sound effects. That's when my girlfriends and I shout at our kids from across the rink to come on in. They skate away, so we chase them on foot around the rink, and I try to body block Ezra, who is somehow able to evade me with his beginner skate moves. When we finally do get the skates off and endure the painfully slow shoe-tying process, I know we are all thinking the same thing: Please, no Exit Poop.

Kynard, Mbeng Give Wildcats Scoring Performances
Kynard, Mbeng Give Wildcats Scoring Performances
March 9, 2013
Complete Results | Photo Gallery
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The only collegiate title to elude K-State high jumper Erik Kynard was the NCAA Indoor Championship, and the senior took his final crack at it on Saturday afternoon but came up short as he finished third and battled with Olympic bronze medalist Derek Drouin to the end.
K-State also saw one of the best performances in school history from combined events specialist Merryl Mbeng as she finished in sixth place for the Wildcats in the pentathlon.
The men's team finished in tied for 32nd place with the six points scored by Kynard, improving on last year's 44th-place finish. With Mbeng's three points, the K-State women finished the season tied in 46th place.
Kynard cleared 2.29 meters (7-06.00) on his second attempt. It was that miss that knocked him down to third as Mississippi State's Marcus Jackson cleared on his first attempt. After Kynard and Jackson both missed 2.32 meters (7-07.25) on their first attempts and Drouin cleared on his first, the passing game began in an attempt to clear a new bar on a first attempt and reset their three consecutive misses.
At 2.35 meters (7-08.50) Kynard and Jackson again missed with Droiun clearing on first attempt. Jackson took his final attempt and missed while Kynard passed to the next height. The bar was raised to 2.38 meters (7-09.75), a height that would be a new collegiate record. Kynard just clipped his calf on the bar to knock it off the standard on his only attempt at the height, although his hips were clearly above the bar. Drouin had three attempts at the record and his first two tries were very close to clearing like Kynard.
"All in all it was a good meet," said K-State Head Coach Cliff Rovelto. "I thought Erik jumped well, getting behind on misses obviously was a big factor. He had good attempts at big bars, but only having one at each wasn't enough."
K-State was busy in the combined events to start the day with Devin Dick completing day two of the heptathlon and Mbeng making her NCAA Championship debut in the pentathlon. It marked the third straight year the Wildcats fielded a member of the men's team and women's team in the combined events.
Mbeng ran a strong time of 8.71 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles to start the pentathlon off in 10th place. She entered the meet ranked ninth overall in an event that was jam packed. Arkansas' Makeba Alcide broke the collegiate record in the pentathlon earlier in the season and was the heavy favorite, but less than 200 points separated No. 2 from No. 16 in the rankings. Alcide then posted numbers well below her norm in some events, and opened the door for competition.
In the second event of the pentathlon, Mbeng tied her season-best high jump of 1.72 meters (5-07.75) and moved into eighth place heading into the shot put. Despite posting a new personal best in the shot put at 10.76 meters (35-03.75), Mbeng dropped all the way down to 13th following that event as she was one of the weaker women in the field.
She made up for that shortcoming in the long jump where she posted the No. 3 mark of the competition with a season best leap of 5.98 meters (19-07.50). The 843 points scored in that event put her in 10th place and position to climb into the top eight headed into the 800 meters, another of her strongest events.
Points are precious in the 800 meters in the pentathlon with the difference of approximately one second meaning 14 points.
Mbeng ran a new personal best time of 2:14.07 for the No. 5 time in the field and scored 906 points. Her fast time helped her jump four spots all the way up to sixth place and eared her three points toward the team scoring. Mbeng's score of 4,178 points is a new personal best and ranks second in school history. She surpassed JaNelle Wright's score of 4,173 on the K-State list from when Wright finished fourth at the 2004 NCAA Championship.
"Merryl had PRs in every events except the hurdles," Rovelto said. "She did a very nice job. I thought she was great."
Dick started the day in 13th place after the first four events from Friday's action. He ran a time of 7.35 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles to start Saturday and moved up into 12th place. He struggled in the pole vault and had a bit of a scare when the pole flexed awkwardly and sent him somersaulting into the pit and landing on his head. Dick recovered and had one more attempt at the height but missed again. His clearance of 4.40 meters (14-05.50) earned him 731 points and put him in 13th place heading into the final event.
In the 1,000 meters, Dick ran his second fastest time of the season at 2:51.68 and finished in a tie for 14th place as he scored 5,386 points over the two days and seven events held.
"Devin hung in there after the pole vault," Rovelto said. "I was proud of him."
K-State will now turn its sights to the outdoor season, which begins next week. The Wildcats will travel to Tempe, Ariz., for two meets over spring break. K-State will compete at the Baldy Castillo Invitational next week and the ASU Invitational the following week.

There have been several posts recently of wonderfully delicious burgers and this shows not only the skill of this group, but the versatitlity of the humble hamburger. We love a good burger and make them frequently. I usually dont take pictures as they are just burgers, but this time I thought I would share what Missus Juju and I have come to crave in the burger world.
We started with some freshly ground antibiotic-free organic ground Charles and I made a big and a small burger with a dimple in the middle. Sorry... no raw pics. Grilled mushrooms and onions are almost always part of the cook, sometimes bacon, and there is never a bun on a naked burger. I also wanted to try something different so I cut a turnip like steak fries to be grilled to go with my burger. I tossed them in canola oil and seasoned well with my seasoned salt. I grilled them for about 30 minutes turning frequently. Quite tasty, but still turnips, so if you like turnips give them a go. If you do not, you should try new things occasionally.
Onions and mushrooms were prepared in the house while I worked the turnips and burgers outside. I also had a romaine salad with Cindy's sun-dried tomato dressing and shredded Manchego cheese.
You know I had some mustard close by!
Don't be afraid to give a bun-less burger a go... you may be surprised at how much more the burger flavor stands out when not tucked inside a small loaf of bread. Either way enjoy a good burger!

CIRA Presents 'How To Survive A Plague'
Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS at Yale University
Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 4:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
On April 3, 2013 at 4:00 PM, CIRA will present a screening of 'How To Survive A Plague' at the Whitney Humanities Center. A reception will follow with Producer/Director, David France.
'How To Survive A Plague' is the story of two coalitions -- ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) -- whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making.

Game Summary
Finishing up the second half of a back-to-back series in Cleveland, the Pups came into the game a team on the ropes taking a flurry of punches from the opponent. The latest four game skid moved the team's record to 18-30 on the season and aspirations for the playoffs are essentially dead. While the Wolves stumble, the Cavs look to be heading in the opposite direction, winners of six of their last nine heading into Monday night's match-up. So naturally those two trends came to a crashing halt for an evening as the Wolves picked up an impressive win in Cleveland (just like I predicted in our preview … or not). Here's how things progressed over the evening.
No changes for the Wolves starting lineup Monday night – Rubio, Ridnour, Gelabale, Williams, and Pekovic. The Cavs opened up with Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Alonzo Gee, Tristan Thompson, and Tyler Zeller. You weren't going to see this game nationally broadcast to the masses, that's for sure.
The Pups got off to a real slow start, as they were held scoreless for the first two and a half minutes of the game. The lowlights included multiple turnovers on bad passes by the back court, Derrick Williams picking up two quick fouls, and Pekovic missing a number of FG attempts due to going up soft around the rim.
Thankfully, the Cavs looked almost as bad early on. They did show an ability to get easy points on the fast break and in transition. Going into the first timeout of the game, the Wolves held a 14-10 advantage. The remainder of the quarter was filled with turnovers and missed shots on both ends. At the end of the 1st quarter, the Cavs held a 27-25 lead.
Midway through a poorly played 2nd quarter, the score was only 37-33. Thinking about this in another way, the Cavs and Wolves combined for 18 points through six minutes of basketball. With under four minutes to go in the half, the Wolves got a little hot going with a three guard set, led by Rubio and Shved. After taking a 47-41 lead in the quarter, the Wolves let down their guard (again) as the final minute of the quarter ticked away. I continue to be amazed at how poorly this team is at closing quarters.
At the half, the Wolves held a 49-46 lead. Here are my HT thoughts through a Wolves lens:
- The Wolves seemingly made the commitment of getting Pekovic the ball in the paint tonight and he didn't reward the team with a lot of points. Very active half for Pek, but he missed a lot of shots in the paint, including having a few blocked by the Cavs.
- Same thought again tonight – why doesn't Chris Johnson get any early burn?
- I would like JJ Barea off this team. Have I mentioned this before?
In the 3rd quarter, the Wolves were led by Derrick Williams offensively. After picking up the two early fouls in the 1st, Williams made a few nice adjustments to stay on the court and helped lead the offense. This felt like a nice response from the 2nd year pro. (Naturally, Williams didn't see the floor in the 4th quarter …)
Not to be outshined by the player selected immediately after him in the '11 draft, Kyrie Irving did most of the damage for the Cavs in the 3rd quarter. The Cavs scored 19 points in the quarter and Irving either scored or assisted on all but one basket for the team. At the end of the 3rd, the Wolves held a 72-65 lead.
The 4th quarter couldn't have been much more different than the first three quarters. Both teams executed on the offensive end of the floor and were hitting their shots, leading to an entertaining final twelve minutes. The Wolves were able to build a 9 point lead with four minutes left in the quarter. In their quest to make every game interesting, the Pups let the Cavs cut the lead down to 3 points with just a few minutes left in the game.
Losing streaks be gone, as the Wolves were able to close out Monday's game and win on the road in Cleveland! The team shot 12-16 from the field in the final frame and left Cleveland a 100-92 victor.
Keys of the Game
- Shooting percentages – A standard key to the game for the Pups this year, but this time the team comes out on the winning end! Over 50% from the field and from 3PT range on Monday night and 14-17 from the FT line to boot!
- Muscle in the paint – Without Varejao, the Cavs had no answer in the paint for Pekovic, but also gave up a lot of rebounds to Williams and Gelabale.
- Byron Scott – I'm not sure who gets the credit here, but Dion Waiters was 6-6 from the field in only 21 minutes of time on the floor and was matched up against a terribly undersized group of guards on the Wolves. This should have been exploited a lot more.
Three Stars of the Game
- Luke Ridnour – A very nice night from Luke shooting the ball (9-14 for the game) and particularly strong in the 4th quarter when the Wolves have collapsed many a time this season.
- Mickael Gelabale – The Cavs were clearly not 'ready for this Gelly' tonight! The SF was 3-3 from long range and a game high +16 in +/-. Mickael continues to impress as he picks up more minutes in Kirilenko's absence.
- Nikola Pekovic – Pekovic gets the nod over Rubio due to being a menace against the Cavs in the paint and logging a game high 40+ minutes. Pek put in 16 & 10 and was active all night.

* Is there a certain food that you are famous for especially on Super Bowl Sunday?
* Are you throwing a huge party with huge amounts of food and drink? How much money are you spending? What is the biggest purchase that you've made for this party?

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The U.S. Air Force is gearing up for the planned launch Tuesday of a new-generation missile-warning satellite as the weather is expected to be acceptable for flight.
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports mounted atop a 189-foot-tall Atlas V rocket, the Space-Based Infrared System satellite is scheduled to lift off from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 5:21 p.m. EDT Tuesday. The launch window will extend through 6:01 p.m. EDT.
Air Force meteorologists say there is a 70 percent chance the weather will be acceptable for flight. The prime concern is the possibility of electrically charged cumulus clouds in the area during the launch window. Rockets flying through cumulus clouds could trigger destructive bolts of lightning.
The satellite is one of a new generation of Air Force spacecraft capable of providing early warning of intercontinental and short-range ballistic missiles launched anywhere around the world. The spacecraft are equipped with telescopes and infrared sensors that detect heat from missile exhaust plumes.
Mission managers conducted a launch readiness review last Friday and cleared the United Launch Alliance rocket and its payload for flight. The rocket was moved out of its assembly building and headed for the launch pad this morning.

This time last year, I wrote a New Year column with seven predictions for events that would occur in business in 2011. It is time for reckoning and I must say that I scored poorly, with only three out of seven correct.
To be fair to me, the predictions were deliberately provocative. As I noted at the time: "They are intended to be adventurous enough to be interesting – even if I turn out to be wrong, they should at least be things to watch."
I was at least right about that. With no more excuses, let's take a look at my predictions and what happened. Read more

Live Results | Meet Information
PHILADELPHIA - Following a second-place team finish at the historic Armory in New York City last week, the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team will head to Bethlehem, Pa., for an invitational at Lehigh on Saturday.
The will mark Penn's second meet at Rauch Fieldhouse this season. The Quakers opened the 2012-13 campaign there in December with four individual and two relay victories. Junior Jake Brenza won the shot put with the fourth-best toss in program history, while junior Maalik Reynolds (high jump) sophomore Tom Timmins (500 meters) and freshman Drew Magaha (1,000 meters) also won in addition to both relays.
On Saturday, the meet will start at 10 a.m. when several field events get underway. The first event on the track is the 5,000 meters at 11:25 a.m. The meet is set to conclude with the 4x400-meter relay at 4:30 p.m.
Led by a victory from Timmins, a trio of Quakers qualified for the IC4A Championships in the 500 meters to help Penn to a second-place team finish last Saturday at College Night at the Armory. The Quakers also won the 4x400 relay, qualified three others in the mile and claimed the top two spots in the shot put.
A full recap will be available at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the meet.

Evaluating your SAAM Campaign
Evaluation is important for any public education campaign. Some simple ideas for evaluation include:
- Keep track of the number of brochures you hand out
- Count how many times a PSA was shown
- Note an increase in requests for services or programs after your campaign
Collecting this kind of information can help shape future campaigns. It can also help you make good decisions about where to put your time and energy. If something isn't working, plan something different for next year's campaign.
It's helpful to compare your audience's knowledge and awareness before and after the campaign was launched. Conducting a pre- and post-campaign survey is one way to determine effectiveness. Connect with experts in your community who may be willing to volunteer.
Also see the pages on Planning your campaign and Making your campaign happen.

Michael McGinity
Barbara Parrott McGinity was a force of nature and worked tirelessly at any job she was given or cause that touched her heart. Because of her outgoing and buoyant personality, Barbara maintained a wide scope of supportive friends she considered her family. She lived her life to the fullest and embraced all aspects of life in Houston from the arts to area sports.
Barbara entered this world on August 21, 1951, and left it suddenly and unexpectedly on February 7, 2016. In the intervening years, there was never a wasted moment as Barbara drew upon her boundless energy to pack every moment of her life with the things she was most passionate about – wine (she enjoyed a 23-year association with the Houston Wine Merchant), travel, anything associated with UH, the Houston sports scene, and the performing arts. Barbara loved life and lived it to the fullest.
Born and raised in Houston, Barbara grew up in Spring Branch. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Houston in 1974, a Masters degree in College Student Personnel in 1978 from Western Illinois University, and a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Houston in 2000. As Program Director for the Better Business Bureau Education Foundation, she focused on issues related to the financial exploitation of elders and managed the Texas Senior Medicare Patrol Grant. She also served on the Board of the UH graduate School of Social Work Alumni Association for eleven years and was currently serving as Treasurer. Barbara's passion for area theater led to her position as President for Theater LaB Houston. In addition, she was Secretary for the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Board and a Houston Proud Volunteer where she served in numerous leadership positions and met her soul mate and the love of her life, Mike McGinity.
Barbara's enthusiastic support for the University of Houston was manifested in her status as a Life Member of the UH Alumni Association. A Cougar Pride Member since 1987, Barbara was a season ticket holder of UH football, basketball, baseball and theater events. She was also a Member of the 1927 Society and 46er's. In May, Barbara is to be honored by the UH Alumni Association as the 2015 Outstanding Alumni Volunteer.
Predeceased by her father, Robert "Red" Parrott, Barbara leaves behind her loving husband, Michael Leo McGinity; her mother, Alice Parrott Zumsteg; and her aunt Margaret Badeaux. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
An "event" to celebrate Barbara's life will be held this spring.
A scholarship fund has been established at the UH Graduate School of Social Work. Memorial contributions may be directed to:

Where Warthogs Roam at Night….
Kenya's common warthog, thought to only be active during the day, appears to have 'swapped' its strictly diurnal lifestyle for a nocturnal one. In the desert environment of central northern Kenya, food is scarce and there is no drinking water for several months at a time.


text: Fundamental rights are a group of rights that have been recognized by the Supreme Court as requiring a high degree of protection from government encroachment. These rights are specifically identified in the Constitution (especially in the Bill of Rights), or have been found under Due Process. Laws limiting these rights generally must pass strict scrutiny to be upheld as constitutional. Examples of fundamental rights not specifically listed in the Constitution include the right to marry and the right to privacy, which includes a right to contraception and the right to interstate travel.

Lgl Drafting: Family Law (LAW-849-003)
There are no notices at this time.
This class has two primary goals. First, you will learn the principles of drafting transactional, non-litigation documents, such as settlement proposal letters, custody agreements, and agreement addenda. Second, you will have the opportunity to simulate the real life practice of family law, including drafting litigation pleadings, discovery documents, and other documents to which you are not exposed in Legal Rhetoric. The course emphasizes role play, hands-on exercises and individualized critique of student work. The course also includes a settlement conference and a mediation session. Like a litigation practice, this course is fact-paced and demanding, yet extremely practical for aspiring litigators in any discipline.

Liberty Falls to Big South Leader High Point
Playing at home for the first time in over a month, the Liberty lacrosse team challenged Big South Conference front runner High Point on Friday afternoon at Liberty Lacrosse Field. The Lady Flames jumped out to an early lead, but couldn't hold off the conference's highest scoring offense, falling to the Panthers, 17-5.
The loss drops the Lady Flames to 2-11 overall and 1-2 in Big South action. High Point remains unbeaten in league play, at 3-0, and ups its season record to 7-5.
The Panthers jumped out to a 1-0 advantage, before Liberty's Morgan Becker tied the game with the first of her two goals on the day with 2:01 elapsed in the opening half.
After Christie Dougherty put High Point back in front by one with a goal at 26:31, the Lady Flames answered with a pair of markers to take a 3-2 lead with 19:00 showing on the game clock. Alyssa Kidder notched her first goal of the game off of an assist from Michaela Rich and was followed by Kallie Britton's 12th score of the season.
High Point used a four-goal run to gain a 6-3 edge with just over eight minutes remaining until halftime.
Becker halted the Panthers' surge with her second goal of the game and 19th overall for the season at the 7:20 mark, pulling the Lady Flames with two, at 6-4.
The Panthers' closed the half with four more markers to take a 10-4 lead in the intermission.
High Point carried its momentum into the second half, scoring the first six goals of the frame to break the contest open.
Kidder capped her second two-goal game of the season, tallying Liberty's fifth score of the match with just under five minutes remaining in regulation.
One more goal by the Panthers in the last minute of play made the final score 17-5 in favor of the visitors.
The final statistical tallies saw High Point hold the edge in shots, 31-16, ground balls, 21-18, and draw controls, 16-7. Both teams finished the contest with eight caused turnovers.
The Lady Flames' Jen Moyer tallied career highs with five ground balls and five caused turnovers. The Panthers' Kendyl Gardner notched a game-high four goals, while her teammate, Mackenzie Carroll, posted three assists to lead both squads.
In goal, Liberty's Kristen Masullo snagged 12 saves. High Point's Julia Burns earned the win after notching two first half saves, while Hayley Peets collected five saves in the cage during the second stanza.
The Lady Flames remain at home for their next contest, hosting Big South rival Coastal Carolina on Sunday at noon.

• ascertain •
Pronunciation: æs-sêr-tayn • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: To learn with certainty through careful examination of evidence or experimentation.
Notes: I love words with other words hidden by history in them, like atonement, which has the phrase at one hidden in it, and disease that contains ease. Today's Good Word contains certain, though most of us, I would guess, use this word unaware of its contents. This word has two derivatives that are [/b]readily accessible: ascertainable, an adjective, and ascertainment, a noun.
In Play: Today's Good Word means to learn with certainty based in proof: "I have ascertained from your several e-mail messages that you are you are displeased with the way I do my job." It is just as easy to find uses around the house for this word as around the office: "I ascertain from the tone of your voice that you wish me to clean my room right away." Won't your parents be pleased that you know how to employ this word correctly?
Word History: This Good Word came from Old French acerteiner "to assure, certify", made up of a(d) "up to" + certain "certain". We suppose that there was a Vulgar (Street) Latin word certanus that must have intervened between Old French and Latin certus "sure, fixed, settled, determined", but we have no proof. Vulgar Latin was only spoken, after all. Certus was originally the past participle of cernere "to distinguish, decide". The original PIE word was apparently critos, which underwent metathesis when the R and I traded places. This explains how certus can be related to Greek krites "judge", the origin of English critic. (Having ascertained that Jorge Mejía suggested today's Good Word, we now express our gratitude to him for doing so.)

A TEENAGER has defied doctors to recover from an accident which could have killed him or left him severely disabled.
Jack Pollock, 16, of Glenridding, suffered a fractured skull after a cycling accident as he rode down Kirkstone Pass last August without a helmet.
The six-footer, then just 15, was airlifted to the Royal Preston Hospital and was then transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital.
Initially, doctors warned his mum, Helen Beaty, and father Ken Pollock, that he might not survive.
Jack lost a stone-and-half in hospital and was fed food and liquid by tube for 29 days.
But less than eight weeks after the accident he was back at Ullswater Community College and has been out again on a bike and has hopes of playing competitive football for his local team, Ullswater United.
Speaking of the accident, Jack told the Gazette: "I don't remember anything of the day. I've been on bikes since then — just for going to the shops. I'll be wearing a helmet from now on."
Mum Helen, 49, who runs a B&B, recalled how she was returning home and had pulled over to let a police car and van past; unaware that they were heading to the accident scene.
On discovering the news, Ms Beaty rushed to the scene with her daughter Beth, 13, but was prevented by police from getting to her only son who had suffered massive blood loss.
Ms Beaty said: "You can't explain the feeling really when something like this happens. It's the feeling in your heart.
"I didn't see him until he got to Preston hospital and still didn't let myself think anything bad. I travelled with him in the back of the ambulance to Manchester and spoke to him all the way and it was all positive."
Jack was released from Manchester Children's Hospital on September 12 and, after a short spell in the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, he returned home for good.
He returns to Manchester in April for an operation to insert a plate into his skull.
Ms Beaty said: "Jack is amazing and the staff in Manchester said he was stoic throughout even though he would have been in a lot of pain."
Ms Beaty thanked all those who helped Jack on the day including Chris Tomlinson, of Long Marton near Appleby, and fireman James Taylor, 41, from Essex, who were recognised with awards from the Royal Humane Society for their actions.
She also praised a good friend of the family, Sarah Martin, of Glenridding, who moved into her home and looked after her daughter Beth while she stayed by Jack's bedside.
Ms Beaty said: "I haven't been surprised by his recovery. I don't take prisoners and haven't mollycoddled him.
"He has got on and made his own cups of tea and things like that. He hasn't sat and felt sorry for himself and has loads of visitors from little toddlers across the road to senior citizens from the village."

JASON Matthews has admitted he would be keen to make some of his loan signings permanent members of the Terras' squad for next season.
However, as Matthews stated, that is entirely dependent on each player's personal circumstances at their parent clubs.
The player-boss confirmed that all of the players currently on loan at the Bob Lucas Stadium will be staying until the end of the campaign at the very least, but what happens after that remains to be seen.
With injuries to the likes of Scott Walker and Luke Winsper, and illness possibly ruling Stewart Yetton, pictured, and Barry McConnell out of tomorrow's game at Burnham (3pm), the loan signings are again set to prove their worth.
"Every loan player we've got is on loan until the end of the season, which is good for me," said Matthews. "The squad we have got now will probably see us through to the end of the season.
"All of the loan players have fitted in very well.
"It gives us competition for places and people know they can't just turn up and get picked."
When asked if he would be interested in holding on to any of the loanees on a permanent basis, he added: "I have a list of targets I want and I would quite like some of those players.
"But I can't say whether or not that's possible because they are with league clubs and I don't know what their situation is."
Matthews doesn't envisage seeing Winsper in a Weymouth shirt again this season and the youngster is still waiting for the swelling on his foot to go down before an accurate diagnosis on his injured foot is possible.
Walker (groin) is rated at 50-50 for the match and the Terras' chief won't risk the midfielder if it means waiting another week for him to return to full fitness.
Burnham, meanwhile, like Bashley, will provide the Terras' opposition in their next two outings, with the reverse fixture in Weymouth on Tuesday.

Anti creationist Richard Dawkins reveals faith on Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief BBC Two, 14th November 2004. (Originally broadcast October 2004, BBC4) The following is a part transcript from this programme.
Narrator: The biologist Richard Dawkins has written at great length about genetics, and has committed much of his academic career to answering the questions that arise from Darwin's theory.
Miller: Something has to explain the novelties themselves.
Dawkins: Well, the novelties themselves, of course, are genetic variations in the gene pool which ultimately come from mutation and more proximately come from sexual re-combination. There's nothing very inventive or ingenious about those novelties, I mean they are random. And they mostly are deleterious - most mutations are bad. So you really need to focus on natural selection as the positive side and it's only natural selection that produces, er, living things, which have the illusion of design. The illusion of design does not come from the novelty.
Miller: What was it about that early novelty, before it culminated in something as useful as a feather? Where could natural selection get its purchase upon something which was no more than a pimple?
Dawkins: There cannot have been intermediate stages which were not beneficial. There's no room in natural selection for the sort of, um, foresight argument, that says: 'Well we've got to let it persist for the next million years and it'll start becoming useful'. Er, that doesn't work. There's got to be a selection pressure all the way.
Miller: So there isn't a process, as it were, going on in the cell saying look be patient.
Dawkins: No.
Miller: … it's going to be a feather - believe me!
Dawkins: Yes, that's right, yes.
Dawkins: It doesn't happen like that. Er, there's got to be a series of advantages all the way in the feather. If you can't think of one, then that's your problem not, not, not natural selection's problem. Natural selection um, err, well, I suppose that is a sort of matter of faith on my part since the theory is so coherent and so, and so powerful.
Editorial Comment: Dawkins' profession of faith here reminds us the controversy over creation and evolution is not one of faith versus science. It is faith in mindless chance versus faith in an all-knowing Creator. The object of Dawkins faith is a false god, and like all false gods it cannot deliver what those who worship it expect. Natural Selection can only preserve living things that already exist. It cannot make new ones. Since mutation doesn't enable evolution either, Dawkins' faith is in real trouble. (Ref. philosophy, belief, evolution)
