bgColor=#e9e9e9 colSpan=2>
1. What NBA player do you pattern your game after?
I pattern my game after a mixture between John Stockton and Mike Miller.
2. What's the best part of your game?
The best part of my game is that I'm crafty.
3. What do you still need to work on?
I need to get stronger.
4. Who is the best player you have ever played against?
Jason Williams and Pat Calathes (older brother who is a junior guard for Saint Joseph's)
5. What is your greatest sports moment?
Winning Mr. Basketball as a junior.
6. What is your favorite way to get ready for a game?
Listening to Yung Joc with the team.
7. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Playing professional basketball.
The combination of players after whom Nick Calathes patterns his game says a lot about his basketball philosophy. As a 6-foot-5 point guard,
Calathes has a great mix of pure playmaking skills and a knack for scoring.
"I try to pass the ball and do the little things like John Stockton did," Calathes told Rivals.com. "I also can shoot and score the ball like Mike Miller."
Calathes might pattern himself after Stockton and Miller, but a comparison to the Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash is also appropriate. Calathes' travel
team coach, Tom Topping of Nike Team Florida, thinks the Nash comparison fits.
"I feel like they are both deceptively quick," Topping said. "They see things on the floor that most guys don't. They are unorthodox in the way they
score, which leaves defensive players off-balance when trying to guard them.
"I think they both have the ability to finish a play at the last possible moment without losing composure or forcing anything. Finally, they see the
angles on the floor and take advantage of them - either by creating a driving lane or a passing lane."
A heady performer who recognizes the play before it happens, Calathes is often improperly evaluated as an overachieving, sub-par athlete. Calathes
is certainly not going to dunk over people; however, he is a very good horizontal athlete.
"He might be an overachiever a little bit, maybe," said Topping. "He is not a super athlete, but he has uncommonly good feet. He has amazing
acceleration. I've coached other great players, but Nick has been the absolute best on a consistent basis.
"He has great confidence, poise and skills. He believes, like most elite level athletes, that he is capable of carrying a team by himself."
With the size to play any three of the perimeter positions, Calathes sees himself as a point guard. Although he is still growing, he doesn't think he
will ever outgrow the position.
"I plan on playing the point in college," he said. "Florida recruited me as a point guard, and that is where I expect to play. I am capable of playing
the one, two and three, but even in the NBA I expect to mainly be at the point."
Rivals.com is unveiling its preseason Elite Team for the Class of 2007. Comprised of the nation's top high school basketball stars, the Elite Team is broken down into position-specific first, second and third teams. These stars will soon be signing with the top college basketball programs en route to the NBA. We will announce one player each weekday from Oct. 2-20.

LDS Spanish-speaking women commended for faith
Relief Society sisters urged to unify despite hard circumstances
To: Article of FaithMay 1, 2009 1:31 a.m.
As someone who came to this great country as a legal immigrant who spent years waiting, saving and learning English, I totally agree with you. As an LDS convert, it was my first priority to obey the law even if that made it lot harder, much more expensive and took much longer to get here (9 years waiting). Once here, I never had to fear the authorities or worry about my status and yes I am now a citizen and know that that process is also time-consuming and expensive but "RIGHT" and lawful.
To: LDS and Immigration:
So we should just ignore the current immigration laws because we don't like them. I'm not into political correctness, come here without proper documentation an you are here illegally.
LDS & immigrationApril 30, 2009 11:06 a.m.
I'm particularly awed by LDS members when they speak of "illegals." First of all- "legal" vs "illegal" are legal terms. In order to be declared one or the other you must go to court. The correct words to use are "documented" or "undocumented." As members of the Church your knowledge on immigration is all MEDIA. Do you think the young couple Joseph, Mary and their infant son Jesus had papers to flee into Egypt when the angel warned them to go? Oh, I see, that was different-that was personal revelation-right? What about the thousands of saints who crossed the plains into the Mexican Territory of Utah in 1846? That was different too, right, they were fleeing for their lives. Before you cast the first stone, do some research. Do you know exactly what it takes to file for LEGAL RESIDENCE in the U.S.A? As of the late 1970's and 1990's things changed dramatically with waiting times averaging 8 to 12 yrs. for legal residence. Not many financial, political and war refugees can afford to wait that long. Just as Joseph and Mary and the Pioneers could not wait.
from CanadaApril 29, 2009 11:44 a.m.
Being a Latino, and a Canadian, and having lived the States, let me just say I'm glad there are people who love our presence there and those who dont. Life would not have been the same if I had not met both types of people. I learned to take the bitter with the sweet and to value hard work and sacrifice. Please remember were used to being put down, and at times disliked; just take a look at how we as a people were conquered by outside rulers. But in contrast, look hundreds of years later to what we received in return: a better education, greater access to the world, and understanding of God, and recognition as a loving and family oriented culture. Heck, I even got to learn four languages. God be thanked that we had opposition, because just like a kite we were propelled upwards by opposing winds.
Re: Article of faithApril 28, 2009 12:45 p.m.
It is that so? Do we suppose to obey the law of just America or the law of any country?
Did you vote for President Bush?
Do you support America going to other countries stepping over their own law?
Maybe you can consider if that as illegal as Hispanic people coming with out legal papers to your country?
Illegal immigrants do not come to your country to make the war, to destroy, nor to dictate how you should live, instead they work hard and help to build your country.
Are you a native American? Or some where in your history your ancestors also came to America looking for a new and better life, looking for having their rights respected?
If at those times, it was required to have a Visa, do you think they would give it up because of that or they would also come as illegal?
I wish you could understand what is about.
2 Jerry H.April 27, 2009 11:19 p.m.
Actually Jerry, the Spanish speaking people WILL ALWAYS have a BIG advantage in an English speaking country. THEY WILL SPEAK AT LEAST 2 LANGUAGES.
Illegal?April 27, 2009 9:24 p.m.
Under the current law, being in this country as an illegal alien is a civil offense that is the equivalent of violating the speed limit. Who hasn't done that? Go ahead, throw the first stone. If my kid was bleeding to death you bet I would be speeding to get him to the hospital. All of the hispanics I know did just that by coming here, to protect their kids from violence, drugs and poverty in countries that couldn't provide safety. Besides, now that Obama is in office, they'll probably all get amnesty anyway... ;)
TroutApril 27, 2009 7:42 p.m.
Why is she crying.
RE: Less MurkyApril 27, 2009 6:24 p.m.
In this context,when Christian talk about faith we mean saving faith,or salvation,not faith in faith.
Christian worship the Triune God not,(Gods)
Re: Jerry H.April 27, 2009 5:29 p.m.
Jerry, quit your racist and stereotypical rant. My wife is Latino and she has just as much consideration in employment, health care, and other things in our country. Anyone who discriminates her because she is Latino or speaks Spanish is not only losing her additional bilingual skills for their company--they should be ashamed of themselves for not seeing past the color of her skin or the words she speaks.
She came her 100% legally too. We don't need people like you implying on a public forum that everyone who is Latino who comes here is illegal. If you are going to make assumptions, go elsewhere.
No matter what culture.....April 27, 2009 5:08 p.m.
women in the church have always been the backbone. I applaud these sisters for their faithfulness and example.
--male church member
Jerry H.April 27, 2009 4:43 p.m.
Unfortunatly, spanish speakers will always be at a disadvantage in an english speaking country. Also, if you are illegal, breaking the laws of this country is not laudable. Honersty in your dealings is always the best practice.
to: MurkyApril 27, 2009 4:01 p.m.
Here are some things in which to have faith:
- when you go to sleep at night, you will wake up in the morning
- when you work for two weeks, your employer will pay, at the end of the two weeks, for your work
- when you post, someone will read what you wrote
- when you read scriptures, you will gain some strength and humililty from them
- when a religious person says that faith is important, take it at its face value
Less MurkyApril 27, 2009 3:42 p.m.
Yes, Murky. Faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ - the one who was resurrected and showed himself is said body to His friends. The Bible never refers to Him shedding His body again. It never tells of an additional death nor of another tomb or burial place. This same Jesus will return again, with His glorified physical body. It's funny how so many churches invent the story that He is a personage ONLY of spirit, when the Bible declares no such change in his phisicality. Such a change would be important enough to be written, yet it is not. And that's because He did not change again. His resurrection was essential, meaningful, and eternal. Thanks for making this clear, Murky. We have faith in the Jesus Christ of the Bible.
Articles of FaithApril 27, 2009 3:02 p.m.
I hope the LDS Church is also encouraging all it's Spanish speaking members to adhere to the Articles of Faith and uphold the law. That means that illegal aliens, those who violated our laws, who are members of the LDS Church should return to their country of origin, Spanish speaking or any other language and return legally, thus upholding the law and being true to the Faith.
MurkyApril 27, 2009 1:44 p.m.
Faith in what? The Church, Joseph Smith? Faith is only as good as the object you place it in. If it is the Jesus of the Bible(God incarnate) right on.
GrandmaApril 27, 2009 9:09 a.m.
It is great to have two members of the General R.S. who speak Spanish. I'm glad Sister Beck commented on the challenges of unity among Spanish-speaking people. Anglos mistakenly believe that all Spanish speaking people share the same culture. Not so. The culture of the Church can make a difference.
It IS the time for Spanish-speaking peoples!

WHITTIER >> The heart of the city-owned water system is a pump plant built in the 1930s that pushes water from the wells in the San Gabriel River plain to hillside reservoirs.
Like the human heart, if the city's water pump fails, the body of the city would be in big trouble.
No water would be pumped to the reservoirs, which use gravity to deliver water to schools, homes and businesses.
In case of such an emergency, the city has several interconnections with adjacent water systems, according to a report by David Pelser, the city's director of public works.
However, the city has decided it's time to replace Pumping Station No. 2.
Due to concern about the advanced age of Pumping Station 2 and its continued reliability, the Water Master Plan of 2008 identified replacement of the plant as a priority for the water system.
On Tuesday, City Council unanimously approved Pelser's recommendation that council authorize the city to advertise for bids on the estimated $15.3 million project.
The city's water division serves about 48,000 customers, mostly on the west side of the city.
Pelser told the council Tuesday that the estimate was "conservative," and he hoped bids will come in lower. But bids on projects have been "creeping up" recently, he said.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed hoping they don't creep up too much," he said.
The new 18.9 million gallons-per-day pumping station will be capable of pumping 17,500 gallons per minute. That allows the Whittier Utility Authority, which operates the water system, to pump during off-peak electric hours and reduce power costs.
The completed facility also will include two 2.2 million gallon reservoirs to serve as a forebay and provide operational storage, the staff report said.
The 6,400-square-foot pump station will include office space for treatment plant personnel. The design will be energy efficient, positioned to minimize noise for residential neighbors, and provide the ability to convert the pumps from electric motor driven to natural gas engines in the future, if necessary, the report said.
Construction will take about 18 months, possibly beginning in January 2014, with a grand opening in July 2015.
City Council also directed staff to research possible names for the pumping station.
"Staff determined that Pumping Plant No. 2 has used that name since its construction," said the staff report. "So far, we found no records of a Pumping Plant No. 1."
Looking toward the grand opening, staff suggested that it might be a good idea to name the pumping plant after a historically significant person or place connected to the city's water supply.
Staff will work with the city library, Whittier Museum, Whittier College Library and other sources to research the city's water history and develop a list of possible names, the report said.

Davis (5-3) at Jordan (8-2)
5A state tournament first round
Friday, 5 p.m.
Parry's Power Guide: Jordan by 16
All-time series: Jordan leads 20-17-4
Coach vs. coach: Jordan's Eric Kjar leads Davis' Ryan Bishop, 1-0
Last meeting: Oct. 29, 2010, Jordan 52, Davis 7 (5A first round)
One of the state's highest-scoring teams takes on one of its stingiest defensive squads when Jordan High plays host to Davis in a 5A first-round matchup Friday.
The Beetdiggers have averaged over 34 points per game for the season, scoring more than 40 points three times and piling up a whopping 55 points against West Jordan in their regular-season finale. Only three other 5A schools — Lone Peak, Alta and Bingham — have scored more points that Jordan has this year.
The Darts, meanwhile, have allowed less than 11 ppg to their opponents, but that Davis defense will definitely be challenged by a Jordan offensive unit which is accustomed to putting plenty of points on the scoreboard.
As long as the final score's not 21-14, the Beetdiggers should probably be all right. After all, both of their losses this season — to Alta and Brighton — came by that same 21-14 score. And in seven of their eight wins, the 'Diggers lit the scoreboard for at least 32 points.
Freshman quarterback Austin Kafentzis directs Jordan's high-powered offense, and he's had a splendid season, throwing for over 2,600 yards and 18 touchdowns while rushing for almost 1,000 yards and 14 more TDs.
"He's a very good player," Davis coach Ryan Bishop said of Kafentzis. "I've watched a lot of film on them and I've been very, very impressed with him."
Austin Grant has added over 500 yards rushing and eight touchdowns, while Taylor Dean, Mason Gajkowski and Taylor Loomis have combined for 126 receptions and 12 TDs.
Hayden Babka leads the Beetdiggers' defense in tackles, sacks and interceptions.
The Darts are led by quarterback Tyson Denny, who's thrown for nearly 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns, while running back Mark Christiansen has nearly 700 yards rushing and five TDs. Troy Hinds, Rossiter Potter and Jackson Peacock pace the Darts' dynamic defense, which has allowed an average of only 10.9 points per game.
"We're trying to do everythng we can to prepare our kids on both sides of the ball and make sure we're very sound on special teams, because we know that can make a big difference in a game like this," Bishop said. "We know they're very explosive on offense, but our bigger concern is what can we do to get better and play better.
"We had a nice little break last week for UEA. We worked on some stuff and our philosophy is to be more concerned about us and what we're doing and not so much about our opponent. I believe our kids will respond to the challenge and will go play the game and let the chips fall where they may."
These same two teams met in a 5A first-rounder a year ago, with Jordan dealing Davis a lopsided 52-7 defeat. But coach Bishop isn't playing up the revenge angle too strongly with his team this year.
"There are not very many opportunities in life when you didn't do what you hoped to do and you get a another chance to compete again, try and execute better and do some of the things we didn't do last year," Bishop said. "But that was last year, and this is this year."

Essential Friends: Local Passion, National Impact
As lovers of national parks look forward to the 2016 centennial of the National Park Service—guardian of "America's Best Idea"—there has never been a better time to profile the rise and role of what may be our "Second Best Idea"—the friends groups, trusts, and foundations that support those parks.
As federal dollars for parks have dwindled, an inspiring, ongoing proliferation of park friends groups and charitable foundations have stepped up to offset shortfalls, to help parks continue to attain excellence; in short, to provide essential funding.
These "essential friends" have never served a more important role. Their work is a nationally significant—but largely untold—story. Until now. National park friends groups are exciting "local" movements having nationwide impact. They're the biggest national story you've never heard about.
Our Future At Stake
National parks preserve our most incredible, and indelible, landscapes, our culture, and our history. In these tough economic times, the parks are even more important as accessible, low-cost destinations where people can escape the moment and create memories sure to renew our American spirit. In the coming weeks and months, you'll find eight great national parks, from the Atlantic and the Appalachians to the Rockies, from Mexico to Canada. And you'll meet the people who passionately step up to help "their parks" on our behalf.
They're among the nation's most innovative and energetic friends and foundations worthy of your support.
A Slow, Sad Slide
It's difficult to point to a substantive drop in Park Service funding in any one year, says, Deny Galvin, Park Service deputy director from 1985-2001. Nevertheless, trends show that the agency's budget has fared poorly over the years. From 1981-2010, if the Park Service's budget had matched the growth of the country's Gross Domestic Product, he estimates that the agency would enjoy an annual budget of $4.6 billion—instead of the current $2.6 billion.
And over that period, Galvin points out, the budget for park operations—day-to-day operations, staffing, etc.—has grown, but budgets for construction, land acquisition, and the like, have dwindled. Today the agency's overall budget represents 0.08 percent of the federal budget. "For every $1,000 the government spends," Galvin says, "80 cents goes to national parks."
The irony is that studies show that every dollar spent on our parks produces $4 of economic impact on America's tourism sector, money drawn into large and small rural gateway communities throughout the country. The latest report showed the park system generated $31 billion and 258,000 jobs in 2010, an increase of $689 million and 11,500 jobs from 2009 levels. Those dollars—and Euros, Yuan, Pounds, and a world of other currencies—are spent by people attracted to the scenic, cultural, and historic values preserved in our parks.
Sadly, the discretionary spending in the federal budget that fuels the fluctuating resources of the Park Service is often what's targeted when the axe needs to fall.
Help from Our Friends
Fortunately, the friends group movement stepped into that vacuum.
The public has been involved with parks from the start. "Some of our nation's most treasured places—from Acadia to the Grand Tetons—were gifts by individuals to the American people," says National Park Foundation President and CEO Neil Mulholland. "Today, the National Park Foundation is proud to stand with, support and establish Friends Groups to continue this noble tradition. Thanks to them our national parks will receive the local support they need into their next century and beyond."
The potential of friends groups for national parks seemed to catch fire with the Park Service in the 1980s. "Lee Iacocca's early 1980s effort to refurbish the Statue of Liberty showed the national value of local effort," says Galvin.
"The creation of friends groups is one of the most significant things that's happened in the park system in the last 30 years," Galvin says.
In the 1980s, "federal-funding trends made it more and more difficult for the Park Service to meet all its needs," continues Galvin, "and the thought was that these organizations could raise money to build visitor centers in parks. These days, the opportunity for a park to build a visitor center with public funds is virtually nonexistent unless you get a congressional earmark.
"If you look at what friends groups do today," says Galvin, "they build visitor centers, they rehabilitate buildings. But since the early days, friends groups have evolved to provide so much more for the parks."
"The National Park Service is loved by a greater percentage of the American people than Ivory Soap is pure," says Gary Everhardt, a former director of the National Park Service and the Blue Ridge Parkway superintendent who saw the road to completion. "The American people want to contribute."
A National Tour of Answers for Park Problems
You can contribute too, thanks to the friends, foundations, and trusts that raise funds to improve campgrounds, pay for wildlife research, repair trails and much more. They even set up endowments to repair a given park's trails forever. And, yes, they do build visitor centers, and so many other essential things.
With no dramatic park funding increases in sight, and four years ahead of the centennial of the National Park Service, now is the right time for Americans to discover—and join— these inspiring friends groups. Their contributions are more effective, influential, indeed essential, than ever before.
Every one of the nearly 400 units of the National Park System is special, but for many Americans, there is that one park that epitomizes an image of our country, our grandest vistas, our most quintessential events. For about 150 of those parks, there are organized citizen stewards.
Each and every one of those groups out there are essential to those national parks. You will meet some of them in the following pages and during this year on National Parks Traveler.
We encourage you to read about them—and join. These groups are local, but you don't need to live in Wyoming to love Yellowstone, or Maine to treasure Acadia. Nor do you need to be going to your favorite this summer. With a contribution you can visit in spirit, or recall the time you made that one park pilgrimage that the entire family remembers.
Or pass it on—give the kids a gift membership! A sense of ongoing stewardship may just encourage them to take their own kids (one day) and continue a family tradition that's a national tradition, too.

i'm not the kind of person to spend alot of time in the bathroom. I don't know how people can spend more than 2 minutes in there honestly. So i was in the bathroom at the radio station, and there was a newspaper on the floor. i though, oh well.. let's see what in the paper. (does anyone even read the paper anymore other than in the bathroom?) so i flip to my favorite section, the funnies. out of all of the comics that were in there, i only recongized two. Peanuts and blondie. and i don't even like blondie. What ever happened to garfield, BC, Dilbert, Rose is Rose, all those old ones. Even if they are reruns, i don't care. I want my entertainment. Even saturday morning cartoons aren't the same. I miss my childhood sometimes.
I was doing laundry and in each of my jeans there was one nickle. Just one single nickle. We have a vending machine here that the gatoraid cost 95 cents.
And i was watching tv last night and saw a red bull comercial. what's the deal with red bulls and wings. since when have bulls ever had wings?

Creepy costumes, glowing jack-o-lanterns and candy galore make Halloween a treat for kids and grown-ups alike, but they can be seriously scary for our pets. To keep pets safe and healthy this Halloween, San Diego Humane Society and SPCA recommends keeping the following tips in mind:
•Stay In. Keep pets inside away from trick-or-treaters and other Halloween activities. To reduce stress levels,
keep pets in an enclosed room with their favorite toys and with the television or radio on.
•Doorbell Damage Control. Excessive ringing of the doorbell can make some dogs bark and raise their stress level. Consider leaving a note on the door that asks trick-or-treaters to lightly knock rather than ring the doorbell.
•Keep Sweets Out of Reach. Chocolate and other ingredients can be toxic to animals, so keep it somewhere they won't be able to get into it. Also, be mindful of candy wrappers and foil — they can be a choking hazard to animals.
•Costumes Are Not For Everyone. Just because animals look adorable in costumes, doesn't necessarily mean they like it. Don't make pets wear a costume unless you're sure they enjoy it. A simple Halloween bandana can be a more comfortable alternative to a full costume.
•Use Caution with Halloween Decor. Keep jack-o-lanterns with flames out of reach of pets. Or only use flameless candles to prevent curious pets from getting burned. Also, use caution with fake cobwebs and other decorations that could be a choking hazard for pets.
•ID Your Pet. Make sure that all of your pets are microchipped and wearing tags with a current ID. Opening the door repeatedly for trick-or-treaters creates plenty of escape opportunities. If your pet does go missing, a pet ID and microchip will help ensure a quick reunion.
For information about microchipping, visit www.sdhumane.org.

Between physical server silos, virtualized infrastructure, storage resources and networking devices, data center managers have to navigate through a plethora of management interfaces to diagnose application performance issues. The lack of a centralized view makes troubleshooting arduous, time consuming and introduces risk into the environment. In the following ChalkTalk video, we discuss how to take the guesswork out of diagnosing I/O performance issues in virtualized environments.

Congress is debating whether to allow local governments to provide high-speed data access in competitive markets already served by cable and phone companies. Dozens of communities around the country are promoting the deployment of broadband -- some through partnerships with private companies and some through ownership of their own facilities with at least implicit taxpayer support. The fate of municipal broadband service is likely to play out in the ongoing effort to overhaul the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) is hoping his panel will approve a bill next month.

It's no secret folks are being forced to make tough decisions about how to spend their money. Choosing among nonessentials is a daily exercise. If you're tempted to go without your car insurance, resist the temptation.
Even a minor accident can end up costing you a lot more than you may guess.
The Insurance Research Council is warning that the number of uninsured motorists is on the rise.
Nationally the number is about 14 percent and could reach 16 by the end of the year. Florida ranked among the top five states for the highest number of uninsured drivers in 2007 at 23 percent.
So what's a cash-strapped motorist to do?
Check with your insurer and make sure that you're getting all the discounts you're entitled to, especially credit for auto-theft devices and for being a safe driver. If you have teen drivers in your household who earn good grades or have passed a driver's education course, you might get a discount for that.
Do your best to pay all of your bills on time. Motorists with good credit tend to have lower premiums because insurers consider your bill-paying behavior to be an indicator of potential risk. And comparison shop. Just because you've been with the same insurer for years doesn't mean you're getting the lowest possible rate.

Pinellas County Utilities has announced an extended closure of one lane of eastbound 118th Avenue N from 44th Street to 31st Court starting Monday with reopening anticipated in September.
The closure is necessary for the relocation of solid waste infrastructure. Work will be limited to weekdays from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and weekends from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m.
Traffic flow may change from time-to-time during the six-month project so motorists should be alert to this and to workers in and near the road.

"The accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment"
Don't worry. Laurie Cumbo isn't saying that Jews with bags of money are responsible. She's just "passing along" what she's been hearing.
The blacks of Crown Heights have "grievances," that most haunted of urban words.
Laurie Cumbo, 38, who is black and newly elected to the City Council representing part of Crown Heights, told us that when she was campaigning she heard many in the African-American and Caribbean community complaining that "Many of the buildings are owned by the Jewish community and [black tenants felt] there was a deliberate movement to push them out of their homes. What they would say to me is [the Jews are] doing this, not fixing that, making noise, they're trying to push me out.'
"They tell me, 'You better do something about this.' They fear an ultimate takeover," Cumbo continues. "Many [blacks living in private homes] talk about how proud they are, that no matter how many 'bags of money' were brought to their doors [by Jews] to buy their homes, they're not selling."
Young blacks might be picking up on the resentment. "It may be one of those things," says Cumbo, "that when they come home their parents are talking, 'those damn Jews,' not that they're talking to the kids but kids hear."
And council members repeat. And imply that if the Jews stopped expanding, maybe this would go away.
"Many African American/Caribbean residents expressed a genuine concern that as the Jewish community continues to grow, they would be pushed out by their Jewish landlords or by Jewish families looking to purchase homes," Cumbo wrote. "I respect and appreciate the Jewish community's family values and unity that has led to strong political, economic and cultural gains… While I personally regard this level of tenacity, I also recognize that for others, the accomplishments of the Jewish community triggers feelings of resentment, and a sense that Jewish success is not also their success."
And also no one is paying attention to black people being shot... not by Jews with bags of money.
I am challenged with the reality that a 66 year old grandfather was shot and killed earlier this week while dropping off money in Fort Greene's Walt Whitman Houses to help a family pay for Thanksgiving dinner. There was no public outcry or calls for swift legal action for this loss of life or for the dozens of others that were killed in the public housing developments this year in the District.
Probably because it can't be blamed on the Jews. Anyway knocking out Jews is really bad. But it shouldn't ruin the lives of those youths doing the knocking out.
Cumbo said violent behavior "is not to be tolerated… At the same time, we don't want to ruin the lives of young people who are too young to understand. We want to do this in such a way that this kind of immature and dangerous behavior does not condemn individuals for the rest of their lives." She called for black-Jewish dialogue. "Perhaps a basketball tournament, perhaps a youth panel discussion, where young people can talk about each other's culture."
After the breakfast, one Jewish participant, who asked not to be identified, was incredulous: "Basketball? A youth conversation? If women were being raped here, would we tell the women to dialogue with young men before we caught the rapists? If there was a Ku Klux Klan rally, we would tell young blacks to play sports with whites, until we knew which of the white kids was at such a rally?"
Multicultural Jewish-Black-KKK basketball... is there anything it can't solve?
As an African American woman, this is challenging, because I recognize that it is Black children and not Jewish children that are playing the "Knock Out Game." Why is this? In many ways governmental neglect, outside uncontrolled influences and failed leadership have led to the breakdown that so many young people of color are currently facing. I feel torn because I feel apart of the very system that has caused the destructive path that so many young people have decided to take while I am simultaneously demanding that they be arrested by that same system.
I am concerned that the media attention around the "Knock Out Game" is divisive and will erode the real progress that has been made over decades. The recent November 26th article published in The Jewish Week, paints African American teens in a dangerous light, and could cause the vast majority of innocent young people of color to be seen as criminals in the Crown Heights community as a result of the actions of a dangerous small minority. At the same time, there are some people in the African-American/Caribbean community who foster stereotypical views of Jewish people, which is why it is important that we create a more open dialogue.
Government neglect.

SPRING HILL — A West Palm Beach development group plans to build a 96-unit residence at the Pasco/Hernando border for people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
The $25 million facility, to be called Rose Castle of Pasco, would be constructed at the southeast corner of Parade Road and County Line Road near the entrance to the Arlington Woods housing development.
The project is currently in design stages and requires several approvals, including a state nursing home license, before it can open, projected for sometime in mid to late 2015.
Construction is set to start this summer.
Mainsail Healthcare Group II LLC, a partnership based in West Palm Beach, is proposing the facility.
George Mueller Jr., an attorney for the Muller Group, a partner in Mainsail, recently appeared before Pasco commissioners about the proposed facility.
Mueller said Mainsail is seeking about $28.6 million in revenue bonds from the Gulf Breeze-based Capital Trust Agency to finance the project, one of three Mainsail is planning in Florida.
Federal tax code requires county officials to give approval when a revenue bond is issued for a health care facility in their county, although Pasco would play no direct role in the project.
Mainsail's other partners are MJM Associates LLC and Palm Harbor-based O'Keefe-Painter Architects, Mueller said. A subsidiary, Mainsail Healthcare Development, would construct the facility.
Gloria Smith, president of the Gulf Coast chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, welcomed the news. The association estimates about 450,000 people suffer from Alzheimer's in Florida. That number is expected to grow to 510,000 over the next seven years.
"There's always room for good dementia care facilities," Smith said.
The three-story facility would include private residences, semi-private quarters shared by two individuals and third-floor offices dedicated to Alzheimer's research, along with meeting rooms and administrative offices.
"This is not going to be a babysitting facility," Mueller said. "It will introduce programs to the residents to stimulate cognition, and there will be an exercise and physical therapy component, as well as research."
Additionally, Mainsail is planning two other facilities in Florida: in Wildwood, just south of the Villages, and in Boca Raton.

KOMO 520 Bridge investigation
Our ongoing investigation "Under the Bridge" has uncovered a pattern of design flaws, construction mistakes and contract violations made in the building of the largest floating bridge in the world. At $4.1 billion, construction of Seattle's 520 Floating Bridge is the most expensive taxpayer-funded project in Washington state history.
Construction on the bridge is expected to last another two years, and with their work only just beginning, so has ours. We continue to be the only local news entity breaking new information about the problems with the project and are dedicated to continuing that commitment. It's an issue that not only affects every single taxpayer in this state but questions the personal safety of every single driver who will cross the largest floating bridge in the world. Our investigation has forced those in charge to take a look at what's really happening Under the Bridge.

IncredibleBank Increases Rate On Savings Account
Deal Summary: Savings Account, 1.21% APY on all balances
IncredibleBank, the internet division of River Valley Bank (Wisconsin), recently increased the rate of its Incredible Savings account by 10 basis points to 1.21% APY. This is the highest rate since the Incredible Savings account was introduced in December 2014. There was a 9-month period from 2015 to 2016 when the APY was 1.17%.
The Incredible Savings Account earns 1.21% APY on all balances. There used to be a cap of $250k, but now there is no stated balance cap. There is no minimum to qualify for this APY. However, you must deposit $2,500 to open the account, and there is a monthly maintenance fee of $15 anytime the balance falls below $2,500.
In addition to the maintenance fee, there's a $5 fee if you receive paper statements rather than e-statements (This used to be $15.) So it's important that you enroll in e-statements. You could also be hit with this fee if your account is inactive. According to the fee schedule:
If your online banking ID is not used for nine months to access your account through the online or mobile system, you will need to contact us to view your electronic account statements. Paper statements will be mailed after an online banking ID remains inactive for 24 consecutive months and the paper statement fee will apply.
Several DA readers have reported being hit with this paper statement fee.
To view the fee schedule and the Truth in Savings Disclosure, start the online application by clicking on the "open an account" button on any page of IncredibleBank's website. The second page of the application includes links to this important documentation.
Bank-to-Bank ACH Transfer Service
One issue with IncredibleBank concerns its bank-to-bank ACH transfer service that is not available to new customers. Another issue is that there are small dollar limitations on how much can be transferred. This is specified at IncredibleBank's Savings Account page:
Starting 60 days after you open an account, you may request that we enable bank-to-bank transfers for you. Maximum of three inbound transfers per business day, not exceeding a total of $50,000. Maximum of three outbound transfers per business day, not exceeding a total of $10,000. The cutoff time for initiating transfers is 4:00 pm CST. Please call us at 877-261-4750 to request this feature.
Thanks to DA reader zz for posting on this rate increase in the DA Forum.
IncredibleBank is headquartered in Wausau, Wisconsin, and offers its services and product lines to U.S. citizens and resident aliens. At this time, IncredibleBank does not accept account applications via telephone or mail, and must be opened online.

Because of my allergies and sinus problems, I have been taking Claritin-D for what seems like forever to help me breathe. Now, for the past month, I have not been able to smell or taste anything because I am so stuffed up. What can I do?
— Drew, South Carolina
Antihistamine and decongestant combinations, like Claritin-D, Allegra-D, Zyrtec-D, and many over-the-counter pills, are not the most effective treatment for allergies and sinus problems. The most effective type of medication for nasal allergies and chronic sinus congestion, in most cases, is an anti-inflammatory nasal steroid spray, such as Nasonex (the active drug is mometasone), Flonase (fluticasone), Rhinocort AQ (budesonide), and others. These all presently require a prescription in the United States, and most primary care providers are comfortable prescribing them. These nasal sprays block more components of the allergic reaction than antihistamines and decongestants and therefore control the symptoms more completely. Nasal decongestant sprays are particularly helpful for treating congestion and postnasal drip, or the sensation that mucus is draining from the sinuses down the back of the throat. Prescription sprays are different from over-the-counter decongestant sprays — for example, oxymetazoline (in Afrin and other products) and phenylephrine (in Neo-Synephrine and others) — which should not be used for more than three to five days, as they cause nasal dependency. In contrast, prescription sprays do not cause dependency and are intended for daily and long-term use.
It is also possible that you have a problem that needs further evaluation and another type of treatment. The two common problems that come to mind are a chronic sinus infection (one that has been present for months) and nasal polyps. Both of these conditions cause persistent congestion and loss of the sense of smell, and neither will respond to routine therapies for nasal allergies. Chronic sinus infections also do not usually clear up with the standard seven- to ten-day course of antibiotics.
I suggest that you speak to your primary care provider about your symptoms and about the possibility that you might have something more than allergies. If your provider thinks it is appropriate, you could add a nasal anti-inflammatory steroid spray to your Claritin-D for the next month and use it daily. If your symptoms do not improve dramatically, you should ask for a referral to an allergist or otolaryngologist for a more in-depth evaluation.

TEXAS CITY — After three days at the Charles T. Doyle Convention Center, the Texas City "Y" Unified Command is on the move again. Most of the command's assets are set to move to the Galveston Island Convention Center early this morning.
The joint information center will remain at the Doyle Center until phones can be set up at the island's convention center, Texas City Emergency Management Coordinator Bruce Clawson said.
"This is a natural progression of things as we see the oil leave this area and moves to the southwest," Clawson said.
Initially the command center was set up at the U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Safety Unit near Interstate 45 in West Texas City.
When more than 200 people showed up to work, there wasn't enough space, so on Monday the command center moved to the Doyle Center.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Parker, CO, United States, 2010/03/10 - Leading art gallery Software Company helps art businesses compete in a tough economy. In spite of recession Masterpiece Solutions experiences it best year ever with a focus upon helping art galleries reduce costs and expand revenues.
Today Masterpiece Solutions announced it had surpassed its 1000th art gallery software customer during the fiscal year 2009. Additionally, the inventory and point of sale software company recorded record sales. With over 1,020 art galleries, antique and jewelry stores using its art business software solutions world-wide, Masterpiece Solutions is the leading provider in the marketplace.
"It is extremely gratifying and humbling during a year of such financial turmoil that more art businesses than ever before chose Masterpiece Manager, art gallery software to help them through these difficult times," said President Kevin Warr. "Art businesses are selecting Masterpiece Manager to help them reduce costs as they automate their operations. Every art gallery owner needs more time to market and sell in an increasingly competitive market. Masterpiece Manager allows them to do more with much less expense."
For 15 years Masterpiece Solutions (masterpiecemanager.com) has been the leader in art gallery software: Inventory Management, Point of Sale, Consignments, Contact Management and Dynamic Web Sites. The unwavering goal has always been to deliver the art business owner more control and time to grow their business. "Tracking and paying our artist consignments was a huge burden for us. Since implementing Masterpiece Manager art gallery software we have eliminated five full days every month from the work we used to do," quoted Gary Gardner, Owner/Partner of Turning Leaf Wood Art in Blue Ridge, Georgia.
Customers #999, 1000 and 1001 were L. H. Selman, Ltd., (Chicago) Mountainsong Galleries (Carmel by the Sea) and Boomerang Art (Australia), respectively. Each selected Masterpiece Manager art gallery software for similar, yet different reasons:
"My brother Mitch and I recently acquired the well established Selman art glass business. We want to aggressively grow what is already the leader in the fine glass paperweight segment. The previous owner was using multiple software packages to handle inventory, point of sale, consignments and contact management." Continued Ben Clark from L. H. Selman, "we knew that for us to accomplish our goals we needed a fully integrated software solution that would take our business to the next level. Masterpiece Manager has done that and more. The team at Masterpiece Solutions has been with us every step of the way."
Jonathan and Lucinda Mountainsong, owners of Mountainsong Galleries, said, "We knew that this was a tough environment in which to open a new art gallery. We wanted to make sure we had every advantage. Masterpiece Manager has allowed us to run the gallery most effectively with very few employees. The dynamic web site that Masterpiece built for us is awesome. It updates automatically as we do our daily business. The rich functionality of the application streamlines all aspects of our business from inventory to sales tax calculations to payment processing...it really is a comprehensive package."
Boomerang Art in Australia, needed a solution to synchronize the two gallery locations that kept Elena and Werner Obermeier constantly on the move. "The Masterpiece Anywhere solution allows Elena and I to constantly know exactly what is happening in our galleries, regardless of where we are." Werner continues, "when I am on a buying trip, I can add inventory while traveling that will instantly be available to either store. I can also publish new inventory immediately to our web site. This is a tremendous advantage we have over the competition."

Toshiba to Make Microsoft's iPod Competitor
Published: August 26, 2006
Microsoft said Friday that Toshiba would make the Zune portable media player, Microsoft's answer to the iPod from Apple Computer.
A Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed that a filing by Toshiba, the Japanese electronics maker, with the Federal Communications Commission for a portable audio player was for Zune, which is scheduled to be released later this year.
The filing says the device will have a 3-inch liquid-crystal-display screen, a 30-gigabyte hard-disk drive and wireless connectivity.
Microsoft would not disclose any more details, but it said more information would come in the next couple of weeks. Toshiba was not immediately available for comment.
Microsoft faces an uphill climb in closing the gap with Apple's iPod media player and iTunes music store, the runaway leaders in their categories.
The iPod holds more than half of the digital media player market, according to the research company NPD, while iTunes accounts for more than 70 percent of digital music sales in the United States. The iPod has more than 75 percent of the digital music player market in America, NPD said.
''It's not like Microsoft was going to go out and build this itself,'' an analyst at Jupiter, Michael Gartenberg, said. ''This is very good news for Toshiba.''
In the user's manual section of the filing, Toshiba refers to the device as ''Pyxis'' and explains how users can send and receive photos, songs and albums, working with nearby users over wireless connections.
The Pyxis also has a ''DJ'' function that allows a user to stream music to up to four other Pyxis devices. It also comes with an FM radio tuner.
Microsoft has not disclosed any pricing information about its media player, but Toshiba sells its own 30-gigabyte hard-disk player, called the gigabeat. It comes with a smaller screen and without wireless connectivity and has a list price of $350.

Lydia Ko approaches the #9 hole during the final round of Marathon Classic. BLADE/JEREMY WADSWORTH
Lydia Ko made a four-foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole to win the Marathon Classic today at Highland Meadows Golf Club.
The 17-year-old from New Zealand shot a 6-under 65 today and finished the four-day tournament with a score of 15-under 269.
Ko finished one stroke ahead of 2012 tournament champion So Yeon Ryu.
PHOTO GALLERY: Lydia Ko claims Marathon Classic
PHOTO GALLERY: Click here for more photos from the final round
Ryu attempted a putt for birdie on the 18th hole, but pushed her shot wide and finished second at 14-under for the tournament, shooting a 67.
"I couldn't see it properly because I was behind some people," Ko said of Ryu's attempt. "But I kind of saw by the crowd's reaction.
"The mindset was, wow, it would be great if she misses the putt but she's a great player and I kind of expected her to get it in. Inside I was like, I may have to prepare for a playoff."
Ko is the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world and is the youngest player to win the Marathon Classic and will receive $210,000 as the winner. It put Ko over the $1 million mark for tour winnings.
Ryu finished with a four-day score of 270.
"Absolutely disappointed I missed a birdie putt," Ryu said. "But still, I had like quite a rough front nine but I [was] fighting on pretty great on the back nine. Also, you know, also I had a great birdie at 17, but I missed like a really important birdie putt at 18.
"Sometimes if I got something lucky, something is unlucky. So I just accept it and let it go."
Cristie Kerr finished third with a 12-under 272 and Kelly Tan and Katherine Kirk tied for fourth with an 11-under 273.
"I didn't play 17 and 18 well all week," Kerr said. "If you're going to win here, you have to take advantage of those holes. I didn't make that putt on 17 today and 18, I could have gotten there, into it in front and maybe had an eagle chip, and just hit a bad three wood.
"I just kind of left a lot of shots out there all week. I just kind of hit it bad and missed a lot of putts."
2013 champion Beatriz Recari finished in an seven-way tie for 25th, at 6-under 278 for the tournament. Recari shot a 70 today.

It was not looking good. The Indiana Pacers were headed straight for their third blowout defeat after falling behind by 20 heading in the fourth quarter against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Tuesday night. Coach Frank Vogel had already been tossed after incurring two technicals and the entire team struggled to contain Kyrie Irving.
But somehow, miraculously, the Pacers fought back. It wasn't pretty, but they dug deep on defense and got a few lucky breaks along the way, arguably thanks to the refs on more than one occasion. George Hill, who went toe-to-tie with Irving for most of the night and finished with 27 points, was huge down the stretch. Paul George, who shot poorly again, finally awoke at the right time and knocked down some big shots to finish with 14, including a huge three-pointer to put the Pacers up by three with 30 seconds to go.
On the next play, Irving drove past Hill and down the lane, drawing contact with Jeff Pendergraph before banking in a tough shot. The original ruling was a charge, and replays showed that Pendergraph tip-toed just outside the restricted area. Pendergraph was fouled and hit one of two free throws to stretch the lead to three, and Wayne Ellington missed a three-pointer before Paul George iced it with two more free thows.
Game over. Pacers escape from grim death to win 99-94 and improve to 49-29 on the season.
In all honesty this was a disgraceful effort for three quarters by the Pacers, and they probably deserved to lose their third in a row. Perhaps this lucky escape will help them realize that the playoffs are just around the corner and it's time to shift it into the next gear. Right now the team looks a little fatigued, but they really don't have any time to rest now with games against the Nets, Knicks, Celtics and 76ers to finish out the season.

Fast Cable Link
The new Kindorf® Fast Cable Link from Thomas & Betts provides a quick, easy and economical way to suspend cable, conduit and ductwork, among other things, from industrial ceilings. Consisting of a length of steel wire rope and a self-locking cable-grip fastener, the Kindorf® Fast Cable Link requires no tools for installation. The Kindorf® Fast Cable Link comes with either a hook or loop end for beam attachment.
"The Kindorf® Fast Cable Link features a cable-grip design that uses positive-grip locking rollers," said Chad Smith, director, product management at Thomas & Betts. "The locking rollers are serrated for an extra non-slip grip, while matching serrations on the locking roller track engage the rollers and prevent them from slipping." Other features include a release pin that eases adjustment after inserting the wire rope into the fastener and stainless steel springs that keep the locking roller in constant contact with the wire rope. The fastener is constructed with riveted connections for strength and durability. The fastener body is made of zinc alloy and the wire rope is made of zinc-plated steel for corrosion protection.
