Inspiration: DIY Drawer Front Hangers
Our friends over at Design Sponge shared this fabulous hanger idea from Morgane Rouault, in Berlin. She used old boards, some cute drawer pulls and a bit of left over gift wrap to add some extra personality to her walls. Not only is it practical, but it can be customized to fit any space, even the bedrooms of our little ones. Click through the jump for details...
This idea would look great down low for little hands to reach, without the fear of adults jabbing themselves in the shin each time they walk by. The knobs provide just enough depth to hold spare blankets, towels, jackets, backpacks and more.
Morgane built hers from boards, although you could use regular drawer fronts just as easily. Make sure to check Craigslist for dressers that are missing drawers. They list for next to nothing and would be perfect for this task! Hang just one, or several in a grouping for dramatic effect. There's sure to always be something to hang on them!

The 2016 NBA Finals looked really intriguing before the series started. Now? The Golden State Warriors have dominated and can take a 3-0 in Cleveland. Free NBA pick here.
Green, Bench Leading Warriors
I truly thought this series would be well-played and competitive in every game. Expected it would go at least six games but that the Warriors would repeat as NBA champions. After watching the first two games, I have little confidence that the Cavaliers will even win once. On the series line, the Warriors are now -750 on NBA odds with the Cavaliers are +575. Only three teams in Finals history have rallied to win the series after trailing 2-0. The last was Miami in 2006 against Dallas.
Last Thursday's Game 1 in Oakland was competitive until the Warriors pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 15-point win. Sunday's Game 2 was competitive for a half. The Warriors blew it open with a 30-18 advantage in the third quarter on the way to a 110-77 win. That combined margin of victory of 48 points is the highest after two games in NBA Finals history.
What's amazing about all this is that the Warriors are cruising despite the All-Star "Splash Brothers," two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, maybe the best offensive backcourt in league history, being fairly quiet. Curry hasn't topped 20 points in either game and is averaging 14.5 points on 11-for-26 shooting. He scored at least 31 points in each of the final three games of the Western Conference Finals against Oklahoma City. Thompson is averaging only 13.0 points on 10-for-25 shooting in this series -- he's a huge reason the Warriors are even here after a 41-point performance for the ages in Golden State's epic Game 6 win over the Thunder.
The Warriors are winning largely because of Draymond Green and their bench. Green is currently the -139 favorite on Sports Interaction NBA picks to win Finals MVP honors. Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and four steals in Game 1 and then 28 points, seven rebounds and five assists in Game 2. The Cavs are so worried about Curry and Thompson that they are leaving Green with uncontested shots and he's usually not missing. He's 10-of-17 for the series when left open. Green is also playing good defense on LeBron James.
Andre Iguodala, last season's unlikely Finals MVP, has totaled only 19 points in the two games but he is playing absolute shut-down defense on LeBron. When Iguodala was the primary defender on James in Game 2, LeBron was 1-for-3 from the field with seven turnovers. The Warriors bench, led by Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa, has outscored the Cavs' reserves a whopping 85-41.
Cavaliers Not Sure If Love Will Play
The Cavaliers have now lost seven straight games to the Warriors -- the final three of last year's Finals, two in the 2015-16 regular season and two in these Finals. A LeBron-led team, both in Cleveland and Miami, had never lost seven straight games to one opponent. That's amazing.
So where do the problems lie for Cleveland? James has been very good if not great in nearly having a triple-double in both games thus far. But he's not shooting that well (16-for-37) and has 11 turnovers. The Warriors are basically daring anyone else to beat them and no one has. Star point guard Kyrie Irving had just 10 points in Game 2 and is shooting 33.3 percent from the field in the series. Shooting guard J.R. Smith, the team's top 3-point shooting threat, has done nothing with eight total points.
Then there's the third member of Cleveland's supposed Big 3, power forward Kevin Love. The reason I thought the Cavs had an outside shot of winning this series was because he (and Irving) was playing so well in this postseason after missing all but the first round last year due to injury. Love was OK in Game 1 with 17 points and 13 rebounds, but he's getting torched on defense. And in Game 2, he was limited to only 21 minutes after taking an inadvertent elbow to the back of his head by Golden State's Harrison Barnes. Love originally played through it for a bit but then looked a little dazed and came out. He is in the NBA's concussion protocol and wasn't practicing as of Tuesday.
Coach Tyronn Lue says a decision on Love won't come until Wednesday. That would be a big loss. The Cavs were only outscored by eight points with Love on the floor in Game 2 but by 25 without him. With Smith struggling so much, the Cavs need Love's 3-point shooting. Channing Frye could start if Love is out. Frye, a good 3-point shooter, has been completely worthless in this series with two points.
Final Analysis
Golden State's next win will be its 88th this season, playoffs and regular season combined. That would break the record of 87 set by the 1995-96 Bulls. I see no reason not to pick the Warriors here. For one, it's not looking great for Love to play. And the Warriors won by 34 in Cleveland earlier this season. They are 6-1 ATS in the past seven meetings. Go 'under' the total. The 'under' is 9-3 in the Warriors' past 12 road games. It is 5-2 in the Cavs' past seven overall.

A short time ago, The Orphan, The Poet released their music video for "Better Than This." We're taking you behind the scenes of that shoot today with the special video below.
"'Better Than This' is about that moment you realize you've been selling yourself short," says vocalist David Eselgroth. "For me personally, the song centers on a very unhealthy relationship of mine ending and the subsequent self-reflection I had to endure afterwards. Realizing you've let yourself become someone that you're not isn't really a positive topic, but I still see the song as a positive influence since it takes these moments of clarity to move forward."
The video for "Better Than This" was recorded at Glow In The Dark Studios and was produced and mixed by Matt McClellan.
The band recently announced a short run of tour dates which you can find below.

GUATEMALA CITY — Leaders of four Central American nations met Wednesday and agreed to revive regional peace efforts and to work with other Latin American nations to ease the region`s foreign debt crisis.
Guatemalan President Vinicio Cerezo, sworn in Tuesday as Guatemala`s first civilian president after 31 years of military-dominated government, said the leaders also decided to consider his plan to form a regional parliament to deal with Central American problems.
Cerezo, Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and Honduran President-elect Jose Azcona Hoyo met for about an hour with representatives of the so-called Contadora nations -- Mexico, Panama, Venezuela and Colombia -- and a four-nation Contadora support group.
``We are going to reactivate the talks regarding the Contadora initiative,`` Azcona said as he left Presidential House.
After three years of talks, Contadora peace efforts ground to a halt in December when Nicaragua requested a five-month hiatus to allow new governments in Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras to take office.
In an attempt to revive the faltering peace effort, representatives of the Contadora nations and the support group -- Uruguay, Argentina, Peru and Brazil -- met in Caraballeda, Venezuela, last week.
Cerezo said the leaders agreed to meet again in Esquipulas, a Guatemalan religious shrine located near the borders of El Salvador and Honduras.
The five nations also agreed to participate in a summit meeting in Panama between leaders of all Latin American nations to discuss the region`s $360 billion foreign debt, which is crippling growth in the area. No dates were set.

What's crackin? Back from a few weeks in hiding, I feel Tiger Woods at an apology press conference. Ladies and Gentleman, say hello to Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra!
So you must be asking - what do Madonna and the Haiti earthquake tragedy have in common? Turns out Danny Ross will be performing in tribute concerts for both causes! First on Friday come to Bar 4 in Park Slope Brooklyn (7th Ave/ 15th St) at 8pm and check me singing this Madge classic along with other amazing interpretations. And unless you're watching 60 Minutes with my grandparents you won't be doing anything Sunday evening, you might as well enjoy great music and help the people of Haiti. That's...
Danny Ross at Haiti Benefit - Sunday February 21, 7:30PM sharp
Upstairs @ The Living Room (Googie's Lounge)
154 Ludlow St at Stanton, F Train to 2nd Ave

D-Ross in the Press
"Danny Ross Goes it Alone" - Gabrielle Sierra, Rumbum
"Danny Ross is not your typical Brooklyn musician. Drawing inspiration from bands like the Beatles and Wilco, musicians like Bob Dylan, and albums like The Who's Tommy, Ross' sound is worlds away from the run of the mill indie hipster music scene. And Ross likes it that way." Check out the full interview HERE.
"Danny Ross: One Way Review" - Mike Farley, Bullz-Eye
"(Three and Half Stars) It's one thing to say you sound different than everyone else. It's another thing entirely to do it without trying...One Way is an exuberant batch of songs. You're going to love Danny Ross' music." Check out the full review HERE.

Hamilton glad to be back
"At shootaround (Saturday) I told (Kuester) I wouldn't be able to go because it wasn't feeling right," Hamilton said. "I went home and talked to my wife and the one thing she told me was pretty much, 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Go out there play. Go out there and give it a try. You never know how you're going to feel till you go out there and try to play.'
"I haven't practiced, I haven't ran, I haven't done sprints or anything like that. So when I laid down for my nap, I said, 'I'm going to make my mind up right now that I'm going to go ahead and play' Once I put my mind to it, I just went out there and tried to do it tonight."
Hamilton was able to play more than 36 minutes and scored 18 points. He also became the seventh player in franchise history to score 10,000 points as a Piston, something he was one-point away from when he got hurt. Hamilton said he felt a little rusty Saturday, but was just happy to be on the floor.
"It felt alright, it felt pretty good," Hamilton said. "I was just happy to be out there on the floor. I didn't care what anything felt like. I just felt joy being able to play something that you love to do and that's the game of basketball.
"I haven't practiced. Tonight was the first time I came off a screen and actually dribbled the ball against somebody. It was just one of those games where I said, 'I'm going to really see if I'm the best-conditioned athlete in the NBA.' "
Hamilton was glad to finally put an injury behind him that took 45 days to recover from. He was all smiles after the game, a welcome sight for his teammates that were somewhat worried about him.
"It's been tough because everyone around me thought I was depressed," Hamilton said. "Everybody was like, 'Hey Rip, you ain't talking, you ain't doing nothing.' And things like that. It was one of those things where you go home and you just sit in your room, you don't turn the TV on and you don't do nothing because it's like, 'When is this thing going to get better?' Once you get past five games, it's like, 'Aw man. What's going on?' Then I'm at 10 games, then I'm at 15 games. It was hard. I'm happy that I got an opportunity to play tonight."
A sprained ankle was something new to Hamilton, who said he never really had them prior to the major sprain he suffered against Memphis on Oct. 28 when he came down on the foot of the Grizzlies O.J. Mayo.
He knew the injury was bad right away, but didn't know how bad until strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander broke the news that it was the worst sprain he had ever seen in his 18 years with the team.
"I knew it was bad because when I looked at my leg, my calf all the way down to my toes was black and blue," Hamilton said. "Arnie would say, well he didn't want to tell me at first, but he was like, 'Yo this is the worst looking sprain that I've ever seen.' It was tough. I just tried to stay positive. It's hard to stay positive when you're looking at your foot and it's black and blue the whole time. I'm happy it's better and hopefully I can continue to go on."

San Diego (PRWEB) January 14, 2013
Divorced and remarried, Ryan Lasseter works as an international airline pilot for Contrails World Airways. Based in Berlin, before the fall of the Wall, Lasseter and his wife, Lexi, take advantage of excursions to the many intriguing cities in Europe, providing insight into the once-glamorous world of airline travel and the life of a pilot. It is these travels that Bill Siren pens in his new book, "Contrails: Airline Flying in Eastern Europe before the 'Wall' Came Down" (published by iUniverse).
Lasseter's thoughts often take him back to his days in naval aviation. He thinks about his participation in the Vietnam War, the friends he lost through accidents or enemy fire, and the demanding tasks involved in winning his wings.
But when he becomes enamored with a flight attendant named Katarina, a perplexing love triangle develops, and Lasseter begins the agony of personal disintegration because of an incurable disease. As the illness and relationships progress, Lasseter experiences the mental anguish of trying to differentiate reality from fantasy and finds himself in a difficult dilemma.

object vs closure
Consider this JavaScript function:
1 2 3 4 5
This might produce the following:
I say "might" because specific behaviors depend heavily on implementation. This post takes a V8-centric approach with many diagram shapes linking to relevant source code. In V8, only small integers are stored as values. Also, from now on I'll show strings directly in objects to reduce visual noise, but keep in mind they exist separately in the heap, as shown above.
Now let's take a look at closures, which are simple but get weirdly hyped up and mythologized. Take a trivial JS function:
1 2 3 4 5
This function defines a lexical scope, a happy little kingdom where the names
b, and
chave precise meanings. They are the two parameters and one local variable declared by the function. The program might use those same names elsewhere, but within
add that's what they refer to. And while lexical scope is a fancy term, it aligns well with our intuitive understanding: after all, we can quite literally see the bloody thing, much as a lexer does, as a textual block in the program's source.
Having seen stack frames in action, it's easy to imagine an implementation for this name specificity. Within
add, these names refer to stack locations private to each running instance of the function. That's in fact how it often plays out in a VM.
So let's nest two lexical scopes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
That's more interesting. Function
hi is built at runtime within
makeGreeter. It has its own lexical scope, where
name is an argument on the stack, but visually it sure looks like it can access its parent's lexical scope as well, which it can. Let's take advantage of that:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A little strange, but pretty cool. There's something about it though that violates our intuition:
greeting sure looks like a stack variable, the kind that should be dead after
makeGreeter()returns. And yet, since
greet() keeps working, something funny is going on. Enter the closure:
The VM allocated an object to store the parent variable used by the inner
greet(). It's as if
makeGreeter's lexical scope had been closed over at that moment, crystallized into a heap object for as long as needed (in this case, the lifetime of the returned function). Hence the nameclosure, which makes a lot of sense when you see it that way. If more parent variables had been used (or captured), the
Context object would have more properties, one per captured variable. Naturally, the code emitted for
greet() knows to read
greeting from the Context object, rather than expect it on the stack.
Here's a fuller example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
count() works, but our greeter is stuck in howdy. Can you tell why? What we're doing with
count is a clue: even though the lexical scope is closed over into a heap object, the valuestaken by the variables (or object properties) can still be changed. Here's what we have:
There is one common context shared by all functions. That's why
count works. But the greeting is also being shared, and it was set to the last value iterated over, "howdy" in this case. That's a pretty common error, and the easiest way to avoid it is to introduce a function call to take the closed-over variable as an argument. In CoffeeScript, the do command provides an easy way to do so. Here's a simple solution for our greeter:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
It now works, and the result becomes:
That's a lot of arrows! But here's the interesting feature: in our code, we closed over two nested lexical contexts, and sure enough we get two linked Context objects in the heap. You could nest and close over many lexical contexts, Russian-doll style, and you end up with essentially a linked list of all these Context objects.
Of course, just as you can implement TCP over carrier pigeons, there are many ways to implement these language features. For example, the ES6 spec defines lexical environments as consisting of an environment record (roughly, the local identifiers within a block) plus a link to an outer environment record, allowing the nesting we have seen. The logical rules are nailed by the spec (one hopes), but it's up to the implementation to translate them into bits and bytes.
You can also inspect the assembly code produced by V8 for specific cases. Vyacheslav Egorovhas great posts and explains this process along with V8 closure internals in detail. I've only started studying V8, so pointers and corrections are welcome. If you know C#, inspecting the IL code emitted for closures is enlightening – you will see the analog of V8 Contexts explicitly defined and instantiated.
Closures are powerful beasts. They provide a succinct way to hide information from a caller while sharing it among a set of functions. I love that they truly hide your data: unlike object fields, callers cannot access or even see closed-over variables. Keeps the interface cleaner and safer.

THE demise of Datuk Shanon Ahmad, the National Literary Laureate, marks the beginning of the end of a glorious era of Malay literature. The only other living literary great is Datuk A. Samad Said, who, with Shahnon, Usman Awang, Kris Mas, Abdullah Hussain, Mohamad Haji Salleh, Noordin Hassan, Syed Alwi and Mustafa Kamal Yassin (Kaladewata), created seminal narrative and dramatic works that reflect the trials tribulations, joys and sufferings, dreams and nightmares of Malays. Their works are not only nostalgic, but also portray the experiences of Malays.
Such literary work feed the soul and engage the readers' mind to visualise the contextual framework, For they not only tell stories that transmit norms, values and tradition, but also reflect, comment and challenge the ethos, belief, trivialities, weakness and strength of the Malay psyche in reacting to their physical and spiritual environment.
Sadly, such works are no longer in the offing as Malay literature has drastically deteriorated. Today, creative output is confined to modern day prose, uninspiring plays, seedy novels, and popular magazine articles nullifying the genius of Malay writers.
The genius of Malay creative efforts began in the form of the oral tradition of storytelling that fired the imagination of the audience with vocal inflections, singing and musical accompaniment. Such was the role of Awang Batil and Tok Selampit.
As Malay society progressed with the advancement of knowledge and writing skills, the traditional wisdom that existed as oral tradition was penned down in the Jawi script in the form of hikayat, syair, gurindam and pantun.
Literary creative works based on legends, lore and historical episodes were written in these genres, such as Hikayat Malim Deman, Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, Cerita Panji, Hikayat Hang Tuah and Hikayat Siti Zubaidah.
These early reading materials, mostly in Jawi, documented folk tales and wisdom, like the pranks of Sang Kancil, Lebai Malang, Mat Jenin and Nenek Kebayan. Later, these were transferred to the roman script, which became the official script of Malays.
The adoption of the roman alphabet marked the death knell of the Jawi script. As a result, subsequent generations lost the ability to read Malay literature in its original Jawi form. This was facilitated by the introduction of the British school system using English as the medium of instruction. Even Malay-medium schools adopted the roman script, except for religious studies.
However, through the English education system, students were exposed to world literature. They read Greek and Shakespearean plays, works by Leo Tolstoy, Ernest Hemingway, Hans Christian Andersen, Nikolai Gogol, Maxim Gorky and Arthur Miller. Such exposure to Western literary tradition influenced modern Malay novelists and playwrights, whose works initially appeared after World War 1 and gained momentum after Merdeka in 1957.
Literature in its written and visual performance forms was an integral part of student and adult life. Pantuns featured prominently in literary and daily discourse, while syair and gurindam were given prominence in bangsawan and sandiwara performances. Wayang kulit encouraged people to read Hikayat Sri Rama and Hikayat Pandawa Lima.
With the development of the national education system, there was a major shift towards science and technology. Thus, literature, language, and the fine and performing arts were relegated to an insignificant position in the pursuit of a materialistic society.
As a result, the role of literature as a humanising agent that provides for abstract and imaginative thinking is downplayed in the development of students, while the norms and values, ethics, moral conscience and spiritual uplift that are embedded in the literary works are not given due prominence.
The modern world is not concerned about humanism, aesthetics or reflective, intuitive or perceptive knowledge, but are interested in factual knowledge that would lead to materialistic gains. The love for literature as food for the soul thus waned and receded into insignificance.
As a result, the new generation of students and adults is bereft of literary knowledge and appreciation.
In the past, reading was a major source of information and entertainment. Novels, short stories and dramatic works came alive in readers' imagination. Literary works proliferated. But, now, the reading habit has declined as a result of the advent of visual source of information and entertainment, such as television, movies and the Internet, as well as other electronic and digital sources of information. Visual expressions have become the mainstream way of telling and retelling stories, relegating traditional novels and dramas to a nondescript position.
Literature, in general, and Malay literature, in particular, have lost its appeal in the digitalised, robotic, so called 4.0 industrial revolutionary world.
This negation of man's literary expressions that portray the world in his imaginative fantasy and abstract images is a loss to humanity. Current modes of storytelling through visual expressions leave little to the imagination as images are presented realistically.
As much as there is a dire need to rejuvenate the study and creation of literary works, the malaise towards literature dims its future prospect. And this will adversely affect the Malay language for the beauty of the language is in the literature.
Unless there is a concerted effort by the authorities, especially the educational agencies, to resuscitate literary efforts, Malay literature in its traditional form may face an impending demise. And, we will be that much poorer.

Kitchen decoration can only look perfect and last for a long time with the best kitchen cabinets. Getting the best kitchen cabinets doesn't mean spending the most amount of money possible. There are many expensive kitchen cabinets which might be worthless because they don't match the design of your kitchen or are made of low quality materials.
Before seeking for the best kitchen cabinets, you must determine the best budget for them. In case you didn't set a budget, there is a chance that you are going to be prevented from completing the rest of the kitchen decoration due to lack of funds. Incomplete kitchen cabinets are not exactly the best things you can have to impress your guests. The prices of best kitchen cabinets vary from one manufacturer to another, thus make careful research and don't give in to the first best kitchen cabinet you meet.
The best kitchen cabinets might already exist in your kitchen having fine infrastructure but not the best appearance. In this situation, you can replace the kitchen cabinet doors or give the kitchen cabinets a fresh paint layer to get the best cabinets ever. You can get inspiration on how the best kitchen cabinets look by glancing at the images under the article. New best kitchen cabinets can be bought online, from local stores or custom made to your specifications.
Online stores might have the best kitchen cabinets in the lowest prices because there are no overhead costs. The advantage of buying the best kitchen cabinets from a local store is that you will be able to examine different kitchen cabinets directly. Custom made kitchen cabinets are usually the best because they exactly match your specifications, but are also the most expensive.

DETROIT (AP) — Mexico's economy secretary said Friday that he looks forward to starting negotiations with the U.S. to update the North American Free Trade Agreement, but his country does not want to see tariffs imposed on goods produced in his country.
"It makes no sense to introduce a trade agreement (with) border restrictions or tariffs," Economy Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo told the Detroit Economic Club. "It would be a move to the past. We have to move to the future."
President Donald Trump has threatened to establish a border tax on vehicles imported from Mexico as a way to discourage automakers and others from moving jobs there. A GOP plan in Congress would slap a 20 percent tax on all imported goods.
Auto executives and economists say either plan would wreak havoc on the industry, which has gradually moved parts-supply and auto-assembly factories to Mexico since NAFTA took effect in 1994.
Guajardo said he hopes negotiations can begin in the middle of June, but that means the White House would have to notify Congress no later than March 15.
He was guarded when asked by the media after the speech about Trump's plan to build a wall between the countries to block illegal immigration.
"Mexico may not like the idea of having walls," he said. "But the U.S. has the sovereign right to build whatever they want on the U.S. side. We believe more in bridges and making the border work better and improving technologically to make it safe and efficient."
At the beginning of his remarks, Guajardo drew laughter as he talked about how he wasn't prepared for the surprises that came with Trump's election.
"Even my reading habits have changed," he said. "(On) my booklist, there is a book that has moved to the top: (Trump's) 'The Art of the Deal.' I had to really get acquainted with that book very quickly. . My next couple of years in office are going to be very interesting to say the least."

Sports Betting Section
2007 Providence Friars Basketball Preview
Last season the Providence Friars (18- 13 overall, 8- 8 Big East) were 10th in the conference, which earned them a NIT bid. Last year, coach Tim Walsh's (145- 127 in nine years with Providence, 215- 149 in 12 years overall) team bowed out of the NIT and in round one as they lost to Bradley 90- 78. This season the Friars look to have a better season than they've had in awhile.
Scoring seemed to be no problem for Providence as the team put up 76.0 PPG, placing them second in the Big East, nice for NCAA basketball betting. Rebounding was also a strength as the club finished at plus-6.3, earning them second in the conference. The Friars were second in field goal percentage, hitting at a rate of 48.5%. Assists were at 16.5 each game, ranking them fourth in the Big East. Scoring defense was 15th at 71.7 PPG and in turnovers they were tied for last, with 16.9 per contest.
If junior swingman Geoff McDermott (9.5 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 5.1 APG, 48.0 FG%) can stay healthy, he will be one of the most commanding players in the Big East and perhaps the nation. Additionally, if junior banger John Kale (7.0 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 52.7 FG%) can raise his game to a new high, the Friars will have a commanding frontcourt. Junior Randall Hanke, who was redshirted last season, returns and should contribute a bunch of points each game.
In the backcourt, junior veterans Sharaud Curry (15.3 PPG, 4.4 APG, 41.9 FG%) and Weyinmi Efejuku (14.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 46.5 FG%) are back, which is good news. Better news would be that the duo has learned to protect the ball. They committed too many turnovers last season. Freshman guards Marshon Brooks and junior transfer Jeff Xavier have the potential to make a difference and affect the college basketball odds.
The Providence Friars last went to NCAA March Madness was in 2003- 2004 when they won 20 games. Last year's 18-win season was six wins better than the year before. If they can get to 20 or 22 this season, the club will be in the tournament. If they do get to the NCAA, it will be the third time in nine years under Walsh. If they do go to the Big Dance, Coach Walsh will be looking for his first win in the NCAA post-season.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for November 2010.
Two months ago I announced that I was going to set up a Blogroll to be a central location for the different voices in the blogosphere discussing the subject of sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults. This evening, with the help of a very talented young developer (thanks Matt!) we were able to launch "Child Sexual Abuse Survivors' Blogroll"
I wanted to make it easy for the reader to find people around the country and around the world who are addressing topics that are important to survivors, their families and their friends. I wanted to create a resource for anyone supporting victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.
We populated the new site with a few blogs that I am familiar with, that post regularly. The only way this will work is to have new information appearing on a regular basis. Currently the site is set up to refresh itself and add new content within an hour of a blogger updating their own site. The Blogroll will push the reader to the individual blogs. It is not designed to grab your posts and make appear in their entirety on the new site. I think you should get the page views on your blog for your work.
I would like to put more blogs into the mix. If you are a blogger on this topic, go to the Contact Page on the new site and send me your information. I will consider all requests for adding appropriate blogs to the feed. There is no fee to add a blog to the blogroll. There is no fee to maintain your blog on the rolls. Once you are in, you are in. I will ask that if you are included in the feed you create a link on your blog to the site so that we can build readers and contributors.
Go and take a look, tell me what you think and offer any suggestions you may have. I consider this a work in process.
Here I am frantically typing in the Incheon Airport outside of Seoul, South Korea. I am waiting for my next flight in about an hour from now. Next stop is Narita Airport, the international airport that services Tokyo. My travels will take me through there on the way home to Virginia for Thanksgiving. My travels begin again in the beginning of December.
I am working a program within the Department of Defense, my employer, that is taking me to the hotspots in the world where American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are standing guard 24 hours a day so that we can enjoy the benefits of freedom and liberty. My first two trips have been humbling and eye-opening. Now, for those of you that never look at the "about me" page of this blog, I am more than the sum of the survivor parts which normally find a release in this blog. I was an active duty Naval Officer for almost 24 years. My family sacrificed a great deal for me over the years. Cross country moves were followed by transoceanic moves and return moves and long deployments. They also endured my temporary radio silence in the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the Pentagon on 9/11/2001 (the radio silence was due to the system overloading with the events unfolding in New York; Arlington, Virginia and a field in southwestern Pennsylvania). It took me several hours to tell them that I was OK and that the part of the Pentagon where I was briefing that morning was 100 yards away from the impact location. My wife and sons also saw me off on a short notice combat assignment in 2003 at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I had about a week's warning before reporting to Fort Benning (not the typical Navy processing point) and on to Kuwait in order to meet my team.
This past week I was getting re-acquainted with the sacrifices and challenges that America's sons and daughters in uniform endure so we can go about our lives in relative peace and quiet. The kids in Korea (I will call them kids because more of the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen I spoke with were about 19 or 20) are ready and able to do what is necessary now. As the Commanding General of the 2nd Infantry Division told us, they are "ready to fight, tonight".
Not my usual fare, I know. Please forgive me. Instead of worrying about how much time Father Timchak was getting in his sentence or pondering the reasons that organizations like SNAP are focused on changing the church and not making their primary mission supporting survivors and working legal remedies and legislative changes, I was spending my week with heroes. It was truly a humbling experience.
I will get back to all that soon enough. For now, as we are facing down the holidays, I have a request. If you are traveling and see a young man or woman in the uniform of your country, take a minute to thank them. No really, just stick your hand out and say "thank you for your service". It isn't hard and believe me, they will appreciate it. If you have never worn that uniform, you may be surprised by the responsibility placed on those young shoulders in those digitized camouflage uniforms. America's greatest treasure is her sons and daughters, we all need to be reminded of that.
That's it for now. I have a plane to catch.
I am writing this from my hotel room in Seoul, South Korea. An email from a regular reader of this blog informed me that Robert Timchak has been sentenced to 72 months in a state penitentiary for possession of child pornography.
The article in the Times Leader that was sent to me was astounding. The people that stood up for Timchak seemingly excused his behavior as the result of the closing of his parish school. I will have more to say about this when I get home this weekend.
Suffice it to say that while this predator is going to jail, there are more who still enjoy the support of the Diocese of Scranton. There are more victims out there that do not enjoy the support from their church that Father Timchak received. That speaks volumes!
We need to push for a change in Pennsylvania law to allow victims to seek justice and force the Diocese to open up and admit that they have supported predator priests. Until then, I recommend parishioners cut off the financial support they provide to the diocese.
More later when I get home to the U.S.

Title: From H.D. Palmer to Isaac Feback
Description: This letter, dated December 20, 1862, was written by H.D. Palmer in Independence, Missouri, to Isaac Feback. Palmer thanks Feback for his kindness, lamenting that he has few friends left who can rise above "political prejudice" as Feback has done. Palmer says he has done everything "to keep down jayhawking & protect my Union friends," but has been betrayed by those friends and the militia who took his livestock without proper payment. Palmer notes that the oath of allegiance is meaningless unless it offers government protection for those who take it.

Moore serves as medical director at Pacific Urgent Care. Having graduated from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in 1982, he specializes in family and emergency medicine. He is affiliated with Sharp Coronado Hospital and Healthcare Center.
Moore brings his extensive expertise in sports medicine and urgent care to his practice. His focus on geriatrics, for example, allows him to provide his patients with an accurate diagnosis, immediate treatment and timely follow up.
"I do sports medicine and family medicine," said Moore. "I treat everyone from seniors to students, everything from Friday night football to injured surfers to weekend warriors."
Moore, who once practiced medicine in New Guinea with the military, has spears and other keepsakes on his office walls to prove it.
"People can get a referral, (lab) workups, an IV (intravenous)," added Moore about his practice, which includes treatment of respiratory conditions like bronchitis and sinusitis. "If you have an ACL injury playing soccer — we can handle it. I can diagnose, make the x-ray, put you in a splint, give you crutches, then start you on rehab and send you to an orthopedic surgeon."
Asked about his patients, Moore said they're a broad cross-section of people in PB.
"The majority are tourists, as you'd expect," he said. "But the people in PB have found us. PB, as you know, is sort of a small town. So we have a lot in PB who've found us."
Moore believes people are more health conscious today.
"If you go back to the '50s in our culture, once you got out of high school or the Army, it was the last time you exercised," he said, pointing out the need for exercise. "We deteriorate our strength at about 6 percent per decade," Moore said. "We can can get better, stay in shape with our bodies. And if you do so, the outlook for your older years is much better."
Of his medical services, Moore said, "We'd like to see more patients, be it for sports medicine, or family practice. We serve families and individuals. We do everything from baby stuff to geriatrics."

The Saatchi/Rowland team will come up with the strategy before Christmas in preparation for its roll-out in the first quarter of 1999. The aim is to publicise European space activities and achievements outside the space industry.
The joint agency team came through competition with six others, finally winning from a shortlist of three.
Its plan is to research public attitudes across Europe and talk to senior figures in the manufacturing sector and in the ESA's customer organizations. It will look at initiatives including joint marketing projects with major corporate and product brands.
Until now the ESA has kept a very low profile, admits Director-General Antonia Rodota. "However, we realize that if we are to continue to use money from the taxpayers of Europe to develop space activities, we need to explain what we are doing and what benefits out activities are bringing," she says.
Stephen Colegrave, Saatchi's marketing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, says the ESA could become a "tremendously strong" brand. "People are interested in space but very few people are aware of the achievements of the European space industry and the ESA," he notes. "It is our task to unlock this potential."

Quote from Bathroom Makeovers On A Budget; Arrange It To Be Better Place :
Beside on the closet you can separate or let it to be one location with the mirror frame that you set on the wall. And you can set the cabinetry on the down of your mirror frame and use that to store your bath tools like towel, face towels, soap, toothpaste, etc. You can design the cabinetry table as the washstand. It was good arrangement on your bathroom.

With dark skies blanketing much of the region, some areas could see more rain into the evening on Monday, the National Weather Service said. That could put a damper on Halloween trick or treating.
A flood warning has been extended until 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday for east-central Broward County - mainly because so many roads have standing water. Tuesday otherwise is forecast to see mostly sunny skies and breezy conditions.
A flood watch is in effect until 8 p.m. for Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
The main reason behind all the rain in the past three days: A slow moving cold front, which is expected to clear out of the area by 8 or 9 p.m. on Monday. Until then the...

I mixed into these Ice Resin beauties some Black Seeds, a few drops of Alcohol Inks (two different colours) and Ultra Fine Flower Soft (Sage).
Now this has to be my most favourite part of the necklace - faux pineapple skin . It's Ice Resin too of course but instead of leaving it just yellow (you will see more pics), I drilled a hole in it, gessoed it, and took my time using acrylic paints to make it look almost like a real pineapple skin. A weather proof matte varnish on top by Powertex!
Black seeds and Cadmium Yellow Oil Colour to spice up this piece!
At the back, which was on top of the mould and stayed nice 'n' glossy but I don't mind this shiny side being the back of the pendant!
I will show you now how I made the two moulds. The geometric shape one at first. I snapped my daughters' perfume bottle for it as I was looking around the house some interesting shapes for the pendants. I used Pebeo Silicum Moulding Paste for my moulds. It's one of the nicest silicone moulding paste available in my opinion.
The mould has some imperfections but it made it even more interesting!
Here I am finished mixing in some oil paint into Ice Resin. After that I added the Black Seeds.
Ready to be put away somewhere safe to set, otherwise my kids would of been not resisting of tipping their fingers inside!!
A bit blurry image but you can spot that it is easy to drill the hole in the resin!
Here's one closer image to these vintage looking pendants, here just freshly poured.
I like very much trying out new methods and what better way to get the pineapple skin look than using the real pineapple for it!
Now you have to admit, this is SOMETHING!!
I made another 'pineapple skin' just to show you the transformation.
And here you can see my 'lightbulb' idea for painting and varnishing the beads. Chromium Oxide Green is definitely one of my loved colours.
Entering this to Finnabair Designers' Fave Challenge Handmade Jewelry.
Thanks a million for your visit,

Preamble from one generation to another!
My daughter is now a 4th grade teacher and has taught her students to rap the Preamble of the U. S. Constitution just like I do every year. I can not tell you how much this blesses me. The gift goes on!

I will do just about anything to enhance my students' understanding. After purchasing this old school toothpaste (I remember it from my youth) on Amazon, I held up a tube in front of my young ones and asked them what it had to do with the Star-Spangled Banner. They blurted and questioned and were genuinely curious. Although spelled differently, we finally came to the understanding that Gleem toothpaste was named thus because it would make your teeth SHINE! "At the twilight's last GLEAMING."

Life of Pi (read 2/9/13) Highly recommended
Mr. and Mrs. Patel, their two sons, Ravi and Piscine "Pi" Molitor Patel, are emigrating to Canada, by cargo ship, when it sinks, leaving Pi and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker as the sole survivors. It's a wonderful story, beautifully written. Like Water For Elephants, the story is presented as having been told to the author by the central character.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is said, and with that do we come to the clone of the week segment.
According to reports, Chinese state-owned automaker Jianghuai Automobile Co is planning to unveil a pickup at the Beijing auto show in April. Nothing quite out of the ordinary, except that the vehicle will supposedly, ahem, borrow certain exterior design details from the Ford F-150, which is seen in the pix above (no, that's not the clone!).
The JAC 4R3, as the pickup will be known as, will share the F-150's grille, hood and extended cab design, and to top it off will also wear Ford's distinctive blue oval, The Detroit News originally reported.
Ford, meanwhile, hasn't decided whether to take legal action against JAC, the newspaper said. "We're aware of it and we're investigating. We're just trying to get an idea of what's going on with the vehicle and haven't decided what our next steps might be," a Ford spokesperson told the publication.
Chinese automakers have often been accused of producing clones of foreign vehicle models, and there's little that can be done to stop it, it seems – apparently, automakers that have filed lawsuits against their imitators in the country's courts have had little success in halting the spawning tide.

Not a fine balance
Is the media's dismissive, if not contemptuous, attitude towards politicians responsible for the spate of violence they seem to be facing? Perhaps it's an obvious question and for many its answer is pretty clear too. Karan Thapar writes.india Updated: Dec 03, 2011 23:31 IST
Is the media's dismissive, if not contemptuous, attitude towards politicians responsible for the spate of violence they seem to be facing? Perhaps it's an obvious question and for many its answer is pretty clear too. But it's one thing to suspect you know and quite another to accept, admit and acknowledge. For old hacks like me, that can sometimes stick in the throat.
Today, however, I want to be upfront. Although some journalists don't agree I can't help feel the answer is yes. To simply pin the blame on a general deterioration in the standards of public discourse or on a wider intolerance and prejudice in society is insufficient. No doubt they're part of the explanation but they can't be all of it.
After all, can we really overlook the widespread and continuous demonisation of politicians in our media? From as far back as the 90s, Outlook has claimed politicians are ranked alongside prostitutes. For a whole decade TV discussions have ridiculed and laughed at them. We've scoffed at their accents, their manners, their clothes and their politics. Now, even the word neta has become derisory.
So if, today, shoes are thrown at politicians or if bystanders slap ministers, can we deny that the background in which this is happening includes — maybe its dominated by — the media's contempt for politicians? Frankly, I don't see how we can.
But is this any different to the tomatoes or rotten eggs that are often hurled at politicians in the West? As an expression of frustration or anger, it clearly can't be. Civil society in many, perhaps most, countries tends to be aggrieved with its politicians. In that sense India is no different to Britain, France or America.
But when it comes to the attitude of the press, there is a big and telling difference. Their media doesn't encourage or exaggerate the general disregard for politicians. Ours does. Even when they are critical they aren't contemptuous. We become dismissive when we ought to be disapproving. Often it may only be a matter of tone and balance but that's not a small or insignificant thing.
However, after this mea culpa there is a second and equally compelling truth that, this time, our politicians must accept. Their behaviour in Parliament also fuels anger against them. Indeed, there is a sense in which some of the blame for the regrettable way they are treated lies with them.
Let me put it like this. It's not infrequently that the opposition in the West strongly and angrily disagrees with their government's actions or pronouncements but they don't resort to disrupting parliament or holding up debate and discussion. Why, then, does this unfailingly happen here?
At a time of crisis the debate in the House of Commons can be re-assuring and even unifying. In contrast, the Lok Sabha begins with pandemonium before it's swiftly adjourned. I sat riveted when the Commons debated the phone-hacking scandal and the summer riots. I'm usually horrified and demoralised when I watch the Lok Sabha.
Yet it wasn't always like this. Our Parliament has known glorious days. And the Anna debate proves our MPs can still scale the heights. Or was that the exception that proves the rule?
No matter how you look at it, the conclusion is the same. If our politics is to change — both in substance and image — our politicians, as much as our press, must accept and correct their faults. Neither party can get away from that!

The MUSC College of Nursing's online graduate nursing program was recently ranked number one in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Ninety six nursing programs were scored on factors such as graduation rates, academic and career support services offered, and admissions selectivity. MUSC earned an overall score of 100. College of Nursing Dean Gail Stuart, PhD, says the achievement "is a reflection of the dedication of our faculty and staff."
The College of Nursing began its asynchronous online program in 2006 with the Master of Science in nursing (MSN) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), followed by the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in 2009, and the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing (RN-BSN) in 2014. There are currently almost 300 students enrolled in the online graduate programs.

FROM Mark Rosenbaum
Is there a constitutional right to literacy? Students in some Detroit schools say they're being cheated out of an education. Are they being deprived of a right guaranteed by the Constitution? Some Detroit schools lack desks, teachers or books and their students have a literacy rate that's under 10 percent. Now a pro-bono law firm in Southern California wants the courts to extend Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark US Supreme Court Case of 1954. Mark Rosenbaum was formerly with the ACLU of Southern California. Now with the pro-bono law firm Public Counsel , he says the Michigan lawsuit is the first of its kind in the US.
Compton Students Sue School District Students have filed a lawsuit against Compton school district for neglecting to offer special needs education to those who've undergone trauma. Students say the district is breaking the law by not providing the students with a fair shot at an education.
VA Settles Lawsuit over West LA Land Use 400 acres of West LA was dedicated to American veterans in 1888. Now, LA County has more homeless veterans than any place else in the country—some 4200 people. But it wasn't until yesterday that the Veterans' Administration announced settlement of a lawsuit demanding that they be housed on that property. The agreement is expected to produce what's called an "exit strategy" for a hotel laundry, athletic facilities for a private school, and UCLA's baseball field—all of which have been paying rent to the VA. Robert McDonald became Secretary of the Veteran's Administration last July. Negotiations began last month.
Are California Public Schools Giving Up On Their Students? Some 20,000 California "students cannot afford to wait any longer." That's according to the US Justice Department, which has backed the ACLU in a lawsuit against the state's elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Torklakson, and the Department of Education. The 20,000 kids are English learners who, allegedly, are not getting any of the services required by federal law or the State Constitution.
Should VA Property Be Used for Veterans Only? Los Angeles County has the most homeless veterans of any place in the country: 6,300 by the latest count. It also has 387 highly valuable acres of property in West Los Angeles, on the fringe of Westwood near UCLA. They are supposed to be used for veterans' healthcare — and they do include a big hospital. But other parts of the property are in dispute, and a federal judge has ruled that the VA has leased them for purposes "totally divorced from the provision of healthcare."
ACLU Suit Charges Cooley with Withholding Evidence The elected Sheriff and District Attorney of Los Angeles County are being sued by the American Civil Liberties Union , charged with concealing information about misconduct by law enforcement officers — specifically Sheriff Lee Baca's deputies in County jails. A state bar complaint has been filed against the DA, Steve Cooley. The ACLU's Mark Rosenbaum says, "We have a system of injustice for all criminal defendants."
Seniority Rules and Equal Rights in LA's Public Schools Because of the economic crunch, the Los Angeles Unified School District was forced to lay off teachers last year, and that's certain to happen again. State law mandates that the last teacher hired must be the first fired. In February, the American Civil Liberties Union went to court , claiming that the seniority rule was depriving some kids of their constitutional right to an equal education. Now, the elected School Board has approved what Mayor Villaraigosa calls a " landmark agreement " that protects some 45 under-performing schools from lay-offs. The teachers' union may challenge the deal .
Layoffs and Seniority in the LAUSD Last week, Judge William Highberger ruled that teacher lay-offs planned for three inner-city middle schools would deprive students of their constitutional right to an equal education. Gompers, Markham and Liechty are three of the lowest performing schools in LA Unified. Because the state budget crisis requires cuts, the District sent pink-slips to between 46 and 60% of their teachers. In more affluent neighborhoods, the average was less than 15%. The judge found that educational opportunity would decline disproportionately and ordered the District to find a better way. But it's not going to be easy because of seniority rules.

The word legend is banded around all too frequently in the world of music.
But it certainly applies to Johnny Marr who closed day one of the Moseley Folk Festival.
He'll always be most fondly remembered for his influential turns with The Smiths.
There were smatterings of Smiths classics including Panic, Stop Me... and Bigmouth Strikes Again and an encore of How Soon Is Now? with The Cult's Billy Duffy.
And although they were not performed with the vigour of old, they still stand up.
So too some of his solo efforts like The Messenger and Easy Money, the lead track from his new album Playland.
Moments before Marr, as dusk started to illuminate Moseley Park's magical technicolour lighting, Birmingham's own blues-folk tribe Midnight Bonfires took to the Lunar Stage. Pitched somewhere between The Coral
and Wu Lyf, the five-piece lived up to the hype and BBC radio airplay with a very impressive set that featured their debut single Beehave.
Their bouncy riffs, calypso beats and catchy vocals banished any autumnal thoughts as the rain started to pour.
Doves singer Jimi Goodwin switched up the tempo from what had gone before as he flew
through a set that leaned heavily on his first solo LP Odulek, released earlier this year.
Its lead single Oh Whiskey glistened with the shimmering, Hawaiian guitars and scattergun drums that were hallmarks of Doves in the early 2000s.
Only once did he borrow from his band's back catalogue for a dreamy rendition of The Last Broadcast.
It's fair to say Thurston Moore has calmed down a little since starting out all those years ago with grunge pioneers Sonic Youth.
"I've been using peppermint tea for my throat," he conceded.
"....And I've been told to keep it acoustic," he added, much to the disappointment of the rowdy few at the front.
The Best Day, taken from his solo LP of the same name, was among his best moments with its spindly sitar-like guitars reminiscent of early REM.
The deep, dulcet tones of Samantha Crain had lulled the early afternoon crowd into a state of sedation and proved the perfect soundtrack to the peaceful setting.
As ever there was more than just music to preoccupy the masses with stalls aplenty selling different food, clothes and hippy wares.
Seasoned Moseley Folkers Lucy and Jon Higton, from Solihull, returned to the festival for a fifth time, but first with five-month-old Florence in tow.
"We thought we'd start her off with a nice easy festival," said Lucy, 33, who was also joined by her step-mum and dad Mary and Graham. "I suppose it's a nice alternative to the bigger festivals.
It's like a casual Glastonbury."
Baby Florence wasn't the only one experiencing the festival for the first time. So were Colin and Elaine Muddiman, from Telford.
"We don't know any of the acts, so we're just testing it out and enjoying it as it comes," said Colin, 63.
It's the laid-back mantra synonymous with the Moseley Folk.

The strategy, creative development and project management of the site is the work of BMP Interaction, the interactive division of BMP DDB, London, which won the business via a pitch in January. BMP handles advertising for the ruling Labour Party.
The Web site will include daily updated news (with live stories fed directly from No. 10), government publications as soon as they are released and a searchable database of the Prime Minister's speeches. Visitors to the site can also go on a virtual tour around the house, learning about the history of the building and the prime ministers who have lived there previously.
More radically, an Interact section will allow users to contribute to 24-hour discussion forums on topical issues in which, occasionally, senior government ministers, including Mr. Blair, will take part.
The aim of the site is to give easier access to government information on the Internet and to enable users to put their views directly to Downing Street.
The live 30-minute-long video interview with Mr. Blair will be shown exclusively on the Internet on April 29, the eve of the first anniversary of his party's election to government. He will be responding to questions previously submitted by users to the site.
