Island PossessedVodou Rituals in Haiti is an intimate photographic exploration documenting the contemporary practice of Vodou in Haiti. Vodou, a syncretic religion incorporating West African religious traditions within Catholicism, is practiced by thousands of Haitians. Seymour has approached this project as an insider who has documented major celebrations and ritual sites in an attempt to create a better understanding of the practice and dispel misconceptions. The work in this exhibition is a part of his ongoing documentary project.

text: JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) -- Sixth-grader Morgan Sims knew how to spell "debacle," but she got an unfortunate lesson on its meaning when her northern Arkansas school district forgot a spelling bee entry fee. Morgan correctly spelled "debacle" -- meaning failure, in an often ludicrous way -- to win the Craighead County Spelling Bee on Friday, taking home the first-place trophy and a $200 savings bond. But her school forgot to pay a $100 per-building entry fee to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, said Craighead County School District coordinator Sandra Taylor. The upfront fee is optional for the county bee but is required to advance to the state competition. "She won the county. I'm proud of that," Superintendent George Edd Holland told The Jonesboro Sun newspaper. "It's unfortunate she can't compete at the next level." He didn't know why the junior high building was the only one registered. "I was caught off guard. I assumed we were fully eligible," Holland said. Morgan, who attends Buffalo Island Central's West Elementary School, told the newspaper she was excited for her victory after making the second round in the county bee last year. The second-place finisher is heading to the state competition instead. Elizabeth Kaffka, a fifth-grader at Valley View Intermediate, seemed a bit blase about her sudden turn of fortunes. "I think I will spend the rest of the day playing my video games," she said after the contest. "Maybe Pokemon."

Members of the Washington Township Planning Commission recommended the wellhead protection and geothermal ordinances Monday night.
WAYNE HEIGHTS — Members of the Washington Township Planning Commission unanimously recommended two ordinances — one on wellhead protection and a second on geothermal systems — during Monday's meeting.
The two ordinances developed by the Washington Township Municipal Authority are designed to protect the township's drinking water supply.
A map created by the WTMA, depicts three zones around the township's water sources where certain activities will be allowed and others restricted.
Zone one — which is the most restrictive area — is located closest to the township's water sources, which include Bubbling Springs, Hoover Spring, Brookdale Well, Hess Well and Wells 5, 6 and 10. In zones two and three restrictions are loosened slightly.
Geothermal details
Geothermal systems use the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool both residential and commercial buildings.
There are two types of geothermal systems, a closed loop or an open loop. In a closed loop, the water and chemicals in the piping never come in contact with groundwater or water supplies, reducing the possibility of contamination or pollution.
An open loop system — which is cheaper — allows the water that circulates through the system to return to the groundwater.
"There is a higher potential for contamination with an open loop system," said Sean McFarland, WTMA manager, at Monday's meeting.
All geothermal systems will be prohibited in areas deemed zone one. In zones two and three, horizontal closed loops will be permitted and open loops will be permitted in zone three.
Planning commission member Jay Heefner asked McFarland if he is anticipating seeing more geothermal heating systems being installed in the future.
"Yes, more and more as time goes on," replied McFarland.
"We want to encourage sustainable heat sources," said Elena Kehoe, planning commission member.
McFarland added that all existing geothermal systems will be permitted under the grandfather clause.
Under the wellhead protection ordinance, certain activities will be prohibited — primarily commercial — in various zones. Examples include not allowing gas stations or junkyards to be placed close to water sources.
Next steps
Planning commission members Jay Heefner, Chris Firme, Elena Kehoe and Kyle Hess recommended the ordinances for approval. A public hearing on the topic is scheduled for mid-January, and then supervisors will review and consider it for adoption.

Topic: Some random fun with a WA lens
Posted: 27 February 2012 at 19:12
Went out with the 17-35 on my A850 yesterday, and had lots of fun. Cycled for almost 50km as well while I was at it .
So here's what I count as being at least decent:
1) OOohh reflective
2) Lifeless
3) Modernization everywhere
4) Catching the last sunrays for the day
All C&C is more than welcome.
P.S. Tried to correct the distortion on #1 and #3, but only with limited success.
Exif is inside if anyone is interested.

Hello Guy,
So sport and taking picture's is what I like to.
Sky is good, maybe what more fill light on the building.
It's to dark, fill light helps. Sky is good.
But it's to empty, only a strong leading line to nothing.
When you have, a subject in the lane, it get's much stronger.
Sky's are your strong point, again a little fill light.
And the church is not level, on the base.
And modern it is, wel spotted.
And again, use fill light, to bring out the shadows.
And 1/2 stop more exposure, is no problem.
When you have Lightroom off course, or something like that.
Greetings Willem.
All ways in a good mood here.

I agree on #4, a little more fill would make the canal look better and make the reflections pop.
#3 looks to need a little lens distortion correction, plus a smidge of leveling.
If #2 was a to show a dreary lifeless lane to nowhere, as the title seems to indicate, then a touch more fill and a slight increase in contrast and it'll be spot on.
I like #1. I would try to make the reflections on the buildings face stand out a little more. Bump up the highlights a bit and a tad more contrast and shadows should do the trick.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Nice. I hope you weren't cycling while you took these pictures. #3 is my favorite. A very unusual, striking building. There's a bit of distortion you might want to fix. I agree that you also might add some exposure to #4. The water is far too dark.

Hallo Captain Willem!
Thank you for the very good comments.
I will try to answer them a bit:
Yes, I liked the sky here a lot, and I will also try with the fill light to see if I like it even better
Well, it is dark. I wanted it to be dark because of the title, and I already added fill light here. The leading line to nothing is on purpose, I'll make an excuse and say that this is modern art .
I agree, the church could use more fill light.
But the church is not level, because I tried a lot of counter distortion and perspective tweaks, but it was impossible to fix completely. (I will show the original when I get home).
Will try here, but then I think that the contrast gets a bit lost, well try try I shall. Thanks for the comments again! They are very very appreciated
P.S.: I use LR 3.2

Thank you Dave and ifreedman for you comments as well.
Well, to answer quickly, I already did most of the things you mention, but obviously not enough (the originals are VERY distorted, as this was with 17mm on FF). I also increased highlights to bring out the skies in all 4 pictures.
But I suspect that my monitor needs better calibration, because you all say that they are too dark. Will have to check against a calibrated monitor to see for my self.
Thanks again!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – At the stroke of 5 p.m., the 2012-13 Lipscomb men's basketball team hit the court in historic McQuiddy Gymnasium for the first full practice of the fall camp
"I thought for the first practice the energy, the focus and the effort was really good," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "We have a long way to go but we have some very good pieces (in place) but it's a process."
"We've got to learn how to play together offensively and defensively and play as one. We made some progress today but we have a ways to go."
Featuring one of the nation's youngest squads, the Bisons return just six players that saw action on the floor last season.
Lipscomb opens the regular season on Nov. 9 hosting Belmont in the "Battle of the Boulevard" at 6:30 p.m. after a Nov. 1 exhibition tune-up against Freed Hardeman. Single game and season tickets can be purchased by visiting http://www.beherdlu.com or calling 615-966-HERD (4373).

Best Practices
Minimum Required Upload Speed
- It is recommended that an upload speed rate of at least double the selected video bitrate be available, especially for a total target bit-rate of 10Mbps (Megabits per second) or less, or when there are multiple outgoing streams.
- Upload speed can be tested at a website such as TestMy.net/upload.
- Additional tasks that can consume upload bandwidth on the network should also be considered when determining how much of the available upload bandwidth can be allocated towards streaming
Wirecast Rendezvous uses WebRTC technology that can be very resource intensive. For the best experience, we suggest considering the following table when choosing hardware:
Studio (2 guests + 1 host)
Pro (7 guests + 1 host)
|Add 4 Mbps
|Add 5+ Mbps5
|i5 quad-core6
|i7 quad-core6
4 Based on a single simultaneous stream of 720p30 x264 @ 4.0Mbps.
5 Bandwidth per guest will scale downwards as more are added to maintain reliability.
6 Minimum recommended processor with example stream4. More demanding workflows may require a more capable CPU.
High frame-rate streaming (60fps):
- High frame-rate streaming will result in increased CPU usage and require a higher bit rate (4Mbps or higher) for a quality encode.
- Simply switching to a higher frame-rate without ensuring the CPU and bitrate are sufficient may result in a lower quality encode.
CPU Usage:
- Consider lowering your canvas frame rate and/or streaming resolution to lower CPU usage.
- Maintained system CPU usage greater than 60% will increase the likelihood of dropped frames.
ISO Recording
- Solid State Drive or fast RAID array recommended for ISO Recording and Replay functionality.
- Actual data rates will vary depending on quality level selected for ProRes (Mac) or MJPEG recording (Windows), as well as the resolution and frame rate selected.
- For Mac ProRes recording please refer to Apple's ProRes data rate specifications.
- Windows MJPEG Best Quality Guidelines (Megabytes per second):
- 1080i and 1080p 29.97 and 30 FPS, MJPEG Best Quality – ~25MB/sec
- 1080p 60 FPS, MJPEG Best Quality – ~50 MB/sec
- 720p 59.94 and 60 FPS, MJPEG Best Quality – ~20 MB/sec
- Total expected data rate should be compared to available disk write speed to ensure adequate disk throughput.
- Failure to ensure the available disk write speed is greater than the highest expected total data rate may result in frames being dropped from recordings (ISO, Replay, and Record-to-Disk).
Hardware accelerated encoding requirements:
- Intel Quick Sync Video encoding requires an Intel CPU with an Intel® QuickSync Video core.
- List of Intel CPUs supporting QuickSync
- NVIDIA NVENC encoding requires an NVidia GPU with Kepler architecture or newer.
- NVIDIA only maintains a general list of supported GPUs
Better performance
- GPU-Accelerated encoding (Studio, Pro)
- Take advantage of powerful, cost-efficient hardware encoding capabilities for better performance and lower CPU utilization. (Requires Intel QuickSync, or nVidia NVENC hardware.)
- Improved CPU utilization (Studio, Pro)
- Now with more efficient, lower CPU usage, for smoother, high quality streams.
- Graphical Output Statistics (Studio, Pro)
- Graphically shows System CPU usage, memory, framerate and bitrate. Streaming stats include Bitrate, and RTMP Queue size. This is great for seeing the strength of your stream or to diagnose problems.
More powerful, streamlined production capabilities
- High resolution ISO recording and Replay (Pro only)
- Create high-resolution recordings of your individual (isolated) cameras or audio sources. Isolate clean shots that can be used later for editing offline or for live replay during an event. (Note: must have valid license to demo this feature)
- Updated, streamlined User Interface (Studio, Pro)
- Our new streamlined User Interface (UI) enables quicker access to shot editing features and more control over every aspect of your broadcast. This includes a new Shot Editor panel, with control sliders for modifying properties, in-shot toggles for turning off and on video and audio sources; plus an all-inclusive source dropdown; playlist tabs and more.
- Tab through the shot editor panel to easily access all the properties panels to edit layer properties, adjust audio, add chroma keying, modify source settings and more.
- Use sliders to change scale, X/Y Rotation, Opacity, and Cropping
- In-shot visibility toggles for both visual and audio sources
- Turning sources on and off can be done from the Shot Layer Management tab in the Shot Editor. Instead of adding and deleting sources, you can now toggle them on and off at will. Want a certain audio source muted for a few moments? Want to flash a quick message on stream? No need to build a new shot, just turn your source on or off!
- Playlist tabs
- We've moved playlists to a new area with tabs which makes it more accessible and keeps your desktop organized
- All-inclusive source dropdown
- Allows you to add in all your sources from one dropdown, from cameras and audio to scoreboards, text, media files and even webstreams.

Angelo played by Liam Brennan
Measure For Measure (2004)
Written by: William Shakespeare
Liam Brennon returned to the Globe to play Angelo in the 2004 production of Measure For Measure. This was Liam's fourth season at Shakespeare's Globe, previously playing Henry Bolingbroke in Richard II and the titular role in Edward II. During the 2002 season he played Orsino in Twelfth Night, and in 2001 he played Macduff in Macbeth.
latest updates
In his final blog post, Liam discusses how rehearsals have progressed, his opinions on another portrayal of Angelo, and how his own interpretation of the part has grown.
In his second blog post, Liam discusses learning his lines during breaks in rehearsals, his thoughts about playing a 'baddie', and an impromptu rehearsal under the Millennium Bridge!
This is Liam's first blog post. This week he discusses returning to the Globe for his fourth season, his reaction to receiving the part of Angelo and his preparation for the role, and the beginning of the rehearsal process.

Hall of Famers board flight to Canton
Canton, Ohio — There was James Lofton, the Hall of Fame receiver who played for the Green Bay Packers in the 1980s. There was Forrest Gregg, the great offensive tackle of Lombardi's Packers in the 1960s.
And there were former Broncos' Billy Thompson and Tom Graham, father of the team's current tight end, Daniel Graham.
We all shared the same nonstop flight from Denver to here. Thompson and Graham are here as guests of Floyd Little, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Lofton says he always tries to attend the festivities because it becomes sort of a 50-year class reunion. He will also be hosting a Westwood One radio show here.
Gregg lives in Colorado Springs. I did not know that. He was born and raised in Texas, but he was stationed at Fort Carson in the Army and always loved Colorado Springs. He and his wife Sharon took several vacations to Colorado Springs and finally decided to settle there.
That's two Pro Football Hall of Famers living in Colorado Springs. Jan Stenerud is the other.

The Original Trilogy Coming FREE, Deluxe Double Album Soundtrack Upgrade
Exciting news today: every backer of The Bard's Tale IV ($20 or more) will get free digital copies of the original The Bard's Tale, The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight and The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate!
Even before we launched the Kickstarter, we were constantly asked "can you do a re-release of the original The Bard's Tale trilogy" and we heard you. We have been hard at work behind the scenes looking at ways to make it happen! The first step was getting Electronic Arts to sign on as they own the publishing rights to the old games, having originally brought them to the market in the mid-80s. EA very graciously had no objections at all, a big thanks to them for their help in making this giveaway happen.
The emulated versions of the classic games will be released for free at the end of the campaign for every backer at $20 or higher, and distributed through our backer web site. This is our way of giving our thanks back to you for all your support and helping us bring back The Bard's Tale.
Some of you may know that the emulated versions of these games work on most modern machines, but are a little rough around the edges. Thus, we have an agreement with the original The Bard's Tale III programmer Rebecca "Burger" Heineman and her company Olde Sküül to update the games for modern machines! She will be working to make the games run natively, without needing emulators, on PC or Mac. This re-releases will be primarily based on the Apple IIGS versions of the games, along with updated art.
We'll get you the emulated versions of the trilogy as soon as the Kickstarter ends and our backer site is up. Meanwhile, Rebecca will be working on the updated versions of the games and if that goes well we'll get you those as soon as she delivers them to us, also for free! As we're not working on these versions ourselves we cannot give an ETA or guarantee on their release, we'll all be waiting for Rebecca to deliver us an upgraded version worthy of the name!
Of course, playing the originals will not be necessary to follow the story of The Bard's Tale IV, but we hope you'll jump on the opportunity to experience them as thousands of fans did back in the day!
Deluxe Double Album Soundtrack and Add-Ons!
We've been looking at our plans for the soundtrack and realized that with multiple musicians working on this (including the very talented Julie Fowlis who you heard in the in-engine video) we're simply going to have too many songs to put on one CD. So we're expanding the soundtrack to a Deluxe Double Album!
If your tier already contains the soundtrack (that is tiers $50, $70 and $95 and up), whether digital or physical, you are now upgraded to the Deluxe Double Album! Physical tiers receive two CDs and digital tiers receive both albums digitally.
The soundtrack has also been one of our most-requested add-ons, so we're now making these digital add-ons available:
$8 - Digital The Bard's Tale IV Base Soundtrack
$15 - Digital The Bard's Tale Iv Deluxe Double Album
New Tiers
We have rolled out new reward tiers for you guys to choose from. First up, we have the $33 Guide to Skara Brae tier that includes the Digital Guidebook and Digital Artbook, and by popular demand, we have brought back the Supreme Box Collector tier at $675 for those who want to fill out their shelves!
If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the full reward matrix on our Tumblr for easy reference for what each reward tier contains.

Wilhelm von Karolinas on
Now, how about that "Construction Set"?
Trevor A Green on
Make the first 3 open source!. So that people can work on a bunch of new versions if they like. I would dig a phone version. Or just a straight html version. Or mod-able version where people can update all the art.
Or make a stretch goal where you port the first 3 to the new engine.
ET3D on
Only read the update now. I was really excited at the beginning, expecting based on the title that the original trilogy was made free for all, then was disappointed to learn that it was only made free for backers. Still, it's good to have an updated version of the originals, and like Raphael said, I hope it makes it to GOG.
Raphael S. Neto on
Great news!! Will the first three games be available through GOG as well? Seems like a nice addition to their catalog ;)
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm not afraid of asking dumb questions so I'll ask it anyway: Why is there no reward tier that gives me the benefits of the Tormented Irradiated Bard ($75) reward and the Supreme Digital Collector ($70) reward? I base that question on the Tumblr rewards matrix above. Do I need to make two separate pledges to get both sets of rewards? I know I can get some of the extras as ad-ons, but not all of them. So what's the right answer here?
Yvette Wade on
I am so excited about this. I honestly have never played any of these games, and have been looking for a reason to get into them. I think I've totally found them. This is great!
Alexander Ipfelkofer on
Awesome news! More Bard tales == More fun! Now where's that BT Construction Set...
Scott Reams on
Not to nitpick... but it seems strange for them to use the title font from the completely unrelated 2004 Bard's Tale game instead of the font used by the first two games.
dungeoncrawl on
@Olde Skuul - I'm still pretty confused by what, exactly, you mean by remastered. Can you articulate a bit?
Tobi (Crusader Kickstarter pls!!) on
I don't want to sound ungrateful because this is really cool and much work for you and will please plenty of backers, but I for one don't care about the free software like WL2/Witcher (got it already) or the previous Bard's Tales (I don't play old games, I don't even have time to play most of the new games).
What I really would love in your updates (and you could increase their frequency btw) is info about the game. And all the other interesting stuff in all the other awesome kickstarter campaigns. Like what are you planning on doing, mechanics, concept art, world, infos on the people who are working on it etc.
bpstrat on
I have a question about the Digital Guidebook in the $33 and $40 tiers. Is it different from the Digital Strategy Guide offered in some of the other tiers, or just a smaller version of the Strategy Guide?
Also, I'm really glad to see Rebecca is involved in the project! She is as important to Bard's Tale as Brian is, in my opinion.
Claybourn Cummins on
Back in the day I played through Tales of the Unknown on the Apple IIGS after originally enjoying the 8-bit Apple ][ version. It was an AMAZING upgrade with beautiful graphics and sound. The pinnacle of Bard's tale goodness!
Great news to hear that Rebecca Heineman will refresh the game. So cool.
Olde Sküül on
Fine, fine, Rebecca will port it to Linux too. However, expect the Linux port to be released a month or two after the windows and Mac OS X versions.
WaltC on
This KS just gets better and better...;) I am intrigued by the BT1,2 & 3 adaptations--thank goodness you aren't using the DOS versions...! I wasn't so interested to hear the Bard song's in "whistling speaker beep" mode again...;) I don't know a thing about the AppleIIGS versions of the software, but originally I bought the DOS versions (because they came out first) & then the Amiga versions--which were light-years better. Mention of the IIGS takes me back--in the latter half of the 80's I had narrowed my choice of a new computer down to two: the AppleII GS & the C= Amiga. I didn't know anything about them @ the time so I actually called about six major software publishers (including EA) and asked for their recommendations between the Apple & the C=. Unanimously, they all steered me to the Amiga--which started me on my 8-year Amiga odyssey--those were "flying by seat of your pants" days...! So much fun...! At any rate, I wonder what the difference is between the IIGS and the Amiga versions, if anything...!
J P on
I don't back a lot KS game campaigns with mentions of a GNU/Linux version because we get treated like we're second-class, but I trust you guys will deliver. I'm grateful that you're giving away the first three games and do hope they will be available for GNU/Linux. I built my gaming PC recently with zero intentions of ever installing Windows on it. Please support us.
Also, PC is NOT a synonym for Windows. This misconception has to stop.
Joseph Jezak on
I was pretty excited about the release of the trilogy until I saw that it's not coming for Linux. Please consider Linux as well!
Christoph Rabel on
Linux support would be swell. :-)
Stefan Lindblad on
I too would love Linux support. Please consider adding it.
Chaney Engel on
I so love that Burger was brought on in some capacity. It feels right!
Theobeau:OOoE\Mad man with a box/Exiled on
An excellent nostalgia hit!
Rob CrowtherSuperbackeron
Yes, please support Linux for these updated versions. I already have the originals both on 3.5" floppies for my Amiga and having bought the 2004 release on Steam. The emulated versions in the Steam release don't work from in-game on Linux though.
Commander Halley on
Best news I've had in ages, very happy!!
Steve Godrich on
Oh, and I second Gok's Linux port request too. If it can be ported to Mac's *nix-based OS, it's no great leap to Linux it.
Steve Godrich on
I loved the original Bard's Tale on my Amstrad CPC. Also loved Thief of Fate on my old 286 too! This is great news. Especially the remastering. I can't wait to play all 4 Bard's Tale games now :)
Lemur From The Id on
Thank you for the wonderful news! Also, big kudos to EA for the original trilogy, that's one classy move!
And inXile, please, please release that Julie Fowlis song from the in-engine trailer in its entirety (preferably in downloadable format, but Soundcloud etc. willl do). It's an absolutely gorgeous song, and you'd make a lot of people really happy - and I'm sure it'd only draw in more people to join our campaign!
Olfan Karls on
As this is a sequel to the series, and as I have imported my Tales of the Unknown characters into Knight of Destiny and then into Thief of Fate, and as you're giving everyone of us the original series to do the same some decades later, you're somewhat bound now to allow importing the Thief of Fate characters into The Bard's Tale IV, don't you think? ;) My party was nonhuman except for the bard, so chances are they're still in good health 150years after the last adventure.
Andrew Tuckett on
If anyone wants to emulate crt monitors with dosbox for old games you should check out this build of dosbox
DOSBox SVN Daum
Check this page for the results
It adds directx support and some custom fx. You can emulate the crt monitor pitch and even the curve. Provided you know what your doing with dosbox.
Mahenou on
Would love a Linux port too, well, if that doesn't add too much work of course :)
Also, it's probably out of scope but... All those low-resolution games do look quite bad on our modern LCDs if there's just a bilinear filtering... In my experience, *amazing* results can be achieved with some very simple pixel shaders that kind of mimic a CRT screen. It can suprisingly make a 320x240 game look GOOD on a modern LCD (instead of ugly or tolerable) :)
Just my 2 cents : again, as this is a bonus, I guess not much time can be spent on it :)
Richard Plana on
Lending my voice to hoping it can be played on Linux. I'd be find with some simulator so long as instructions are included.
Erik Grape ⊂ Orders aplenty on
Nice to hear that Burger will be involved, although not on VI, but still. There is a good matt chat with her from a few years back.
Appreciate all the extras though why did you have to add more box collector slots? Ohh well, I'll have a chance to work on my resolve.
Daniel Bryntse on
Superb news!
Now make sure we can transfer the party all the way from 1 - 3. Weren't exactly happy with the iPad version when I discovered the limitations after completing two out of three of the classics.
Nathan Schmuck on
Cool! Those bard games gonna be through steam keys or other stuff? I'm fine with it either way but I find steam is more convenient.
Darreljackson|Middydj|AoUA on
Wow this is great. Upped my pledge and plan on doing it soon near final push.
Walter Rudolph on
I am... giddy! I've got Destiny Knight, Thief of Fate and Construction Set down the basement, but no reliable FDD. it's gonna be so awesome to share these with my son. Don't worry, he's got a surprising affinity for old games. Pretty sure I've still got the Thief of Fate word wheel, but hoping I won't have to dig it out :)
Wow. You guys are seriously jumping hoops to fulfill our tiniest whims. Power to the backers!
Johua De Santo on
Are the original 3 Windows only or will there be Mac and Linux conversions available?
Dave blanchard on
Heh cool, got what I asked for...looking forward to replaying all 3.
Grant Probst on
Rebecca "Burger" seems like a really interesting and passionate individual. I imagine she will do a great job with the updated versions. If anyone want's some fun information on her, check out her interview with Matt Chat... https://youtu.be/F4WuTp4faKA
Also, speaking of Matt Chat. I'd say it's about time Sir Brian Fargo visted with Matt Barton again! ;)

The lights were dim, the setting was intimate and the crowd reserved a quite intensity while waiting to cheer for their beloved football star at any moment. Arguably the most important player of the 2011-2012 NFL season, NY Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz was backstage waiting to appear before a large crowd at the Queens Theater.
When Cruz finally came on stage, the eager crowd applauded and yelled "we love you" to arguably one of the most important players on the Super Bowl-winning Giants roster last year. Cruz waved to the crowd, and then sat down to discuss his new book, "Out of the Blue."
"I wake up every morning and I'm grateful and a part of me says, 'wow, a kid from Paterson that came up and is now a staple in the NY Giants," said Cruz.
Cruz said he brought the author of "Out of the Blue" to the neighborhood he grew up in and other places that had personal importance, so that the book would be as accurate as possible.
"I understood that I was going to have to divulge personal stuff for the book, and I was comfortable with that," he said.
For over an hour, Cruz spoke about his early life, his struggle to make it out of college, learning to dance salsa from his grandmother and the 2011-2012 championship season.
Cruz claims that basketball was his favorite sport growing up, but it was a high school coach that mentioned to Cruz that there were more scholarship opportunities in football than basketball.
"I said that's a good point," he said. "My mother couldn't afford to pay for college."
Cruz grew up in a humble household, and some might say a hostile outside environment. Despite outside pressures and the absence of his father, Cruz discussed eventually making it to the NFL and winning a championship.
"I was a small-town kid," he said. "I strived, but I had to fight tooth and nail. Through hard work and dedication you can achieve your goals."
After sharing some of his personal experiences, Cruz answered some questions from the audience.
At one point, a young fan told Cruz that he was his favorite player, and Cruz brought him on stage to sit with him through the remainder of the discussion.
When asked what are his goals for the upcoming season, Cruz smiled and said "win the Super Bowl, that is my only goal," causing the audience to go wild.
Time Warner Cable has teamed up with Cruz to bolster its Enjoy Sports better initiative, which helps customers enjoy the sports and teams they love.
The partnership will feature Cruz in a national advertising campaign and on regular segments on NY1 and NY1 Noticias, as well as appearances by Cruz at community events.

Hi Chris. Indeed this is a great video, with excellent production value, and in an easy to digest format. I will recommend it to my friends. And you are unquestionably the star here -- it seems like 90% of the content is directly from your own material.
However I actually like your 45 minute presentation of the original Crash Course even better. Mainly this is because it's just you and your style, and you are a gifted teacher.
The main problem I have with this is the collaboration with Money Map Press itself, and how they promise a "free" set of materials for a non-free 12 month subscription. It's a gimmick and insults the viewers' intelligence.
Finally, I would tell my friends to also ignore all the talk about investments and how to "protect your wealth". Most of the world isn't thinking about protecting any kind of wealth in the context of this material. A first-time viewer of this video would really need to know simply how to survive, then how to thrive, and our mainstream concepts of "wealth" (namely assets stored for future liquidation) will have no bearing in that future.
Make no mistake, I admire you and your team and your desire to educate immensely. Please keep up your great work.

Pathways of Pioneers
The great migration west along the Oregon and California Trails shaped the course of a nation and forever altered a way of life for Native Americans. For the emigrants, the Oregon country offered them a chance for free land and a better life. That chance would come at a cost though as nearly one in ten died along the way. Sacrifice and determination walked hand in hand with the pioneers striving to reach their westward goal.
The change set in motion by the great migration left a lasting legacy on Idaho and the rest of the country. Traces of the journey are now hidden amidst the intractable march of progress. Learn more about the trail and its twisting course through our state and the west as Outdoor Idaho follows the Pathways of Pioneers.

Dems bet GOP will cave on taxes
Democrats are increasingly confident that rank-and-file Republicans will cave on taxes and force House GOP leaders to pass a tax cut plan for families who earn less than $250,000.
It's a risky gambit with about a month before the country hits the fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts.
Story Continued Below
But Democrats, feeling like they have serious leverage, believe the only path for a deal is to pass a middle-class tax cut package to pave the way for larger fiscal negotiations in 2013 over taxes and spending.
"You can smell the winds," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), No. 3 in his party's leadership, said Thursday. "When so many Republicans say, 'Hey, we're going to have to give into the Democrats,' that's how it works around here. That's the beginning."
Democratic leaders in the House see the same erosion among Republicans on tax hikes for the wealthy. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) likened her party's unity to last year's payroll tax holiday fight, in which Republicans eventually capitulated and passed a plan they once opposed. Asked if the GOP would buckle, Pelosi said, "I wouldn't say buckle. See the light might be a better term."
Top Republicans in both chambers say that's all wishful thinking, and the gap between the parties was laid bare Thursday. Republican leaders scoffed at an Obama administration proposal that they characterized as $1.6 trillion in tax hikes, $400 billion in cuts to entitlement programs, a permanent clean debt ceiling hike and $50 billion in infrastructure spending, calling it a major step back in the high-stakes talks. There was laughter in the room when it was presented to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, according to a McConnell aide.
Republicans argue there's no way the GOP-controlled House and robust Senate GOP minority would agree to any revenue increases without far more significant upfront spending cuts locked in.
And by and large, the party is united in the belief that all tax rates should be extended — even for the top 2 percent of wage earners, saying doing otherwise would imperil the economy. Any revenue, they argue, should come via other means, such as capping deductions or closing tax loopholes claimed by high earners.
"We have a whole history in this country that when taxes go up — with the promise of future spending cuts that never materialize," said Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, No. 4 in Senate GOP leadership. "We're suspicious of that."
But in recent days, there's been more slippage among Republicans on their once unmovable position against any tax hikes.

COLONIE, N.Y. — Authorities say a New York man who left his 1-year-old son in his car for eight hours in frigid weather only realized his mistake after a call from his wife.
Police in the Albany suburb of Colonie say the man forgot to drop off his son at day care and left the child strapped in the back seat of the car when he parked outside his office Thursday morning.
Officials say the man received a call from his wife at about 4 p.m. inquiring about their child. He called for an ambulance and the boy was checked out at a hospital and released. Police say the baby didn't suffer any injuries despite temperatures that didn't top 15 degrees.
Police said Friday they haven't determined if the father would be charged.

We've compiled articles from Decision magazine, Billy Graham's My Answer columns and other articles relating to coping in tough economic times.
The Cure for Anxiety
Historians will probably call our era "the age of anxiety." Though we have it easier than our forefathers, we have more uneasiness. Inwardly we are more anxious. Callused hands were the badge of the pioneers, but a furrowed brow is the insignia of modern men and women.
A message by Billy Graham »
Struggling After Losing Job
We're really struggling financially, and it's all I can think about. My wife still has a part-time job, but I lost my job a couple of months ago and I just can't find anything. We pray and pray, but nothing happens. I'm beginning to wonder if God even cares.

We lost our home and almost everything in it to a fire a few months ago, and it has been devastating. I know the Bible says we ought to give thanks in every situation, but how can God expect us to thank Him for this? I'm not sure if we'll ever recover.

Depressed After Losing Everything
We lost almost everything we owned in a flood a few months ago, and it has really been hard on us. I know I ought to have more faith that God is going to sort it all out, but the truth is we're depressed and almost overwhelmed. Why did God let this happen to us?

Finances: An Issue of the Heart
As much as moviegoers enjoy the gripping suspense of a startling whodunit, after the popcorn is gone and the lights come up, most will admit that they don't like life's real surprises, especially the kind that come in the form of an unexpected bill, a plea for a loan from a relative, or financial worries due to an accident or illness.

If God is for Us …
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once preached a sermon on the terror of the disciples during the storm on Galilee. He ended with a sharp conclusion: "I do not care what the circumstances may be, the Christian should never be agitated, the Christian should never be beside himself, the Christian should never be at his wit's end, should never be in a condition in which he has lost. … It implies a lack of trust and confidence in Him."

From the Desk of Billy Graham: 'My Heart Goes Out to You'

Woehnker: A Lesson in Friendshipby Gary James and Patrick McAlister • November 1, 2007 Share:
EDITOR'S NOTE: Funeral Services for Patrick Woehnker were held Thursday morning in Kendallville. This story first appeared in the Nov. 1 issue of the Bachelor. Photo of Patrick with his squirrel courtesy of the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha. The first cartoon by Bachelor cartoonist Joel Bustamante '11. The cartoon at the bottom of the page by long-time Bachelor cartoonist and Professor of History, Steve Morillo.
Patrick Woehnker was returning from class one late-September day when he found a small, infirm squirrel. The freshman's instincts were to nurture it and give it a name that would make people smile. He picked up the small creature, comfortable in his hands, and made it a box filled with dry cereal and a towel. He named it Bocephus.
"There is a song by Kenny Chesney, who is a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha, called 'Keg in the Closet,'" recalled sophomore Brent Graham, Woehnker's fraternity big brother. "In the song [Chesney] talks about a dog on the front porch named Bocephus. Patrick named the squirrel after the dog in the song, and we had a squirrel on the front porch."
Patrick and Bocephus were inseparable. The furry creature could be seen cupped in his hands and even sitting on his shoulder like a parrot. Patrick's friends remember his love for the squirrel when recounting their fond memories of him.
In a tragic accident, Patrick Woehnker fell from the roof of Goodrich Hall Sunday, October 28. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The news of his accident stunned the campus and drew sympathy from Crawfordsville to his hometown of Kendallville.
His friends remember a quirky personality, goofy grin, and characteristic wave that evoked smiles and goodwill in return.
"Pat was the kind of kid [who] always had a smile," said Zak Ackerman, a sophomore at Tri-State University who taught Patrick how to throw the disc in high school. "No matter what, he could make you feel good. He was always upbeat, easy-going, and always had something good to say. He could always pick you up whenever you were down just by looking at his smiling face."
Jeremy Blazek '11 was a friend of Patrick's in high school and that friendship strengthened during their brief time together at Lambda Chi Alpha.
"[Patrick] always put his friends first; it didn't matter what mood he was in," Blazek said. "He was always open to new people, always making friends."
The fact that those who knew Patrick Woehnker continue to have such enduring and endearing impressions of him makes the news about his death all the more tragic.
He leaves behind a portrait and memories showing a young man engaged at his high school and in his community, determined to attend and do well at Wabash, and committed to his friends and teammates just as much as they were committed to him.
Patrick Michael Woehnker, Jr. was born and raised in Kendallville, Indiana, approximately 30 miles NW of Fort Wayne. He enjoyed playing video games, listening to music, and playing his guitar. Patrick attended Kendallville Middle School and graduated in May 2007 from East Noble High School.
Principal Ann Linson did not know Patrick very well, but she described him as a very good student who was well-liked and always had a smile.
According to athletic officials at East Noble, Woehnker was active in sports and other leadership activities. He helped freshmen transition into their new high school environment as a Knight Mentor and served on the Athletic Leadership Council. He was also a lifeguard at the Kendallville Parks and Recreation Department and Cole Center Family YMCA, where he volunteered to teach others how to swim.
But no matter what he did, Patrick's personality left an impression.
"Patrick was someone who had a great sense of humor but was pretty quiet unless you got to know him," said high school Athletic Director Rebecca Freeman. "He was respected by fellow athletes, and they enjoyed being around him. He really cared for the people he was involved with here, and they in turn cared a lot for him."
Patrick competed on the high school swimming team for four years. He was voted Most Improved Swimmer during his freshman year; Most Valuable Player during his sophomore year; became Team Captain and received an Honorable Mention at the Conference meet during his junior year; and received an Honorable Mention and the Mental Attitude Award at the Conference meet during his senior year.
Coach Kassie Scheerer had always been struck by Patrick's determination.
"If he had a goal, he'd work to achieve it," said the former Boys Swimming Coach at East Noble High School. "He was a football player who became a swimmer. He was not the best to start with but really excelled once he got out there."
Coaches and professors at Wabash recognized Patrick's indomitable spirit as well.
Assistant Swimming Coach Kyle Dunaway experienced Patrick's determination first-hand. The prospective demonstrated an unwavering commitment to attend the college and to join the swimming and diving team.
"During the recruiting process, Patrick was not someone we were heavily recruiting," Dunaway recounted Tuesday at the memorial service held by the Lambda Chi Alpha brothers. "But when Patrick came to visit during one of the admissions visit days, there was something about him that caught our attention – something that would catch every coach's attention. Patrick had a sincere desire to attend Wabash College."
"Patrick made it very clear to us on that day that Wabash was his number-one choice. Wabash was where he wanted to be. He wanted to be a part of the tradition. He wanted to be a part of the camaraderie. He wanted to be a part of the swimming and diving program. Regardless of his talent level or his immediate level of impact on our team, no coach can turn away someone who wants to be a part of your program or your school as much as Patrick did."
Although professors encountered Patrick for only a few hours per week, they witnessed the humor and determination of the presumptive history major as well.
"My impression about him was that he was very thoughtful," said History Professor Richard Warner, who taught Patrick World History. "One of the big challenges in studying world history is being able to have empathy for other kinds of people. We have a lot of things in our head that hinder our attempts to do that, but he seemed in his writing to be pretty empathetic. He was on his way to being a great history student."
Woehnker's Faculty Advisor and Freshmen Tutorial Professor William Doemel said he could always tell when Patrick entered the classroom.
"He smiled as he walked across," Doemel said. "At first he was a bit shy. He was quiet in the classroom. We were reading a book by Chuck Palahniuk. Patrick arrived that day with a yellow pad. He had read the book carefully, and suddenly he came alive in the discussion. From that point on he really became an increasing part of the class. He became more confident. The class meant something to him."
Research Fellow Kathy Wise is one of four who team-taught the Patrick's tutorial class, Leading Lives of Importance. She observed his growth as well.
"It was just nice to see because to me it said he's not just reading this, he's thinking about it before he comes to class, which you always hope student will do," Wise said.
One unmistakable thing about Patrick was the inestimable value he assigned to his friendships and the affection his friends possessed in return, specifically from his fraternity brothers, teammates, and high school classmates. They all have fond memories and have some difficulty getting accustomed to the idea of not seeing him.
"I met Patrick during Honor Scholar weekend," said Brent Graham '09. "Basically, he sat in a chair most of the night until I went up and talked to him. After that, he just talked non-stop. I have my brothers who are all very close to me because we've had a lot of the same experiences and I have the swim team, who are equally as connected and equally as strong because we spend so much time together. We spend two hours in the morning, two hours at night, and Saturdays traveling to meets. During the season, you are around each other all the time. It is a very tight group. Patrick had already made some good friends on the swim team and in the house. It definitely impacted them equally."
Jim Leuck '09 swam in the lane next to Patrick, and Kyle O'Keefe '08 swam in the same lane. They are still adjusting to his absence.
"Every time I get out of the pool, I look around expecting to see him stretching," O'Keefe said. "It's so unreal. He always tried to convince me to get in the lane first. And somehow, I always got in before him."
The news of Patrick's accident uniquely affected some of his high school classmates because, for some of them, he helped to shape part of their identity.
"Just being around the guy was uplifting; his good spirit was contagious," recalled Bryan Foster, a freshman at Purdue who graduated from East Noble with Patrick. "It was never forced, either, and I think that was important. I always strive to be myself, and it was never easier than when I was with him. He was just Patrick, and I was just Bryan. And now he is gone, and I will never be the same."
When accidents like Patrick's occur on college campuses, Administrative officials do everything they can to comfort the community.
"The college's most basic response is that we are deeply saddened he is gone," said Dean of Students Dr. Tom Bambrey '68. "He was here for eight weeks, a member of the Class of 2011. It is our understanding that even in that time and before that, his mother expressed how much he loved Wabash – this was the only place he applied to come to school. It's a terrible tragedy in any number of ways. Any time a member of our community is lost we all feel loss. Our chief response has been sympathy to the family, trying to help those students [who] are close to him to deal with his death. On a more personal level, I am deeply saddened because every student here I have a connection with. To lose him is just tragic."
Patrick's' fraternity members and family have received an outpouring of sympathy and support. But for those who knew Patrick personally and were familiar with seeing him on a regular basis, it is unlikely that any words would be more comforting than his own.
Dr. Cheryl Hughes found a quote from the conclusion of Patrick's last philosophy essay on ideal friendship:
"Don't let someone else tell you what a good friend is because only you know what is best for yourself. If someone makes you happy, continue surrounding yourself with them. If they only make you sad, it isn't worth being around them. Find someone who understands you for who you really are, and you will appreciate [more] everything life has to offer."

The sharp increase in home prices — particularly in regional markets such as Phoenix and Las Vegas, which had been so decimated by the bust — is raising concern among some economists.
Indeed, home prices are now posting double-digit gains in some of the places where so-called negative equity is severe. According to data from S&P/Case-Shiller, prices in Las Vegas rose 10.0% over the year and Phoenix was up 22.8%.
It is those kinds of big increases that could fuel speculation.
"It does concern me a bit," Zillow.com chief economist Stan Humphries said. "It encourages people to think about housing as a short-term investment, instead of a long-term investment."
The S&P/Case Shiller 20-city index rose 5.5% from the same month a year earlier, up in 19 out of the 20 metro areas tracked. That was a strong increase and a sign that housing will probably continue to rebound this year with supply tight and demand strong.

text: As an alternative to the 4T FORTE™, M3™ and Vektor2™ continuous yarn options and VantageOne™ glued membranes, OneSails offers more traditional woven cross-cut and tri-radial panelled sails. Woven cloth - the underrated sail material. Even today, fabrics are still very popular. That's right, because fabrics are made without glue and without film. They are robust, durable and inexpensive. Sails in CrossCut are also the most cost-effective to manufacture. Many will know, a fabric consists of long warp and short weft threads, which are interwoven at 90 ° angle. So that diagonal loads can be absorbed, as they occur, for example, in the sheet area of a Genoa 1, the cloth manufacturers have come up with some ideas. For example, the polyester fibers are shrunk by heat after weaving. The fabric becomes more compact and gains in diagonal stability. In heavily stretched sails, where the luff is a multiple of the lower leg length (called the high aspect ratio in English), the load is mainly parallel to the leech. These sails require a stronger weft (English "strong ll") to absorb these high forces. Typical high aspect sails include the Genoa 3 and sleek mainsails. Suitable cuts Depending on the aspect ratio and equipment, we recommend the CrossCut unlimited to 35 square meters. For larger sails, the radial cut has its advantages in terms of dimensional stability, service life and lower weight. We use the following fabrics from Dimension Polyant for CrossCut: All Purpose (AP) and Stong Fill (SF) for high mileage and C Breeze (CB) for less than 750 miles per year. Suitable for: all sailors who are looking for uncomplicated and durable sails with high profile life.

How to run Playonlinux in Slacko?
Subject description: I think Python is installed but it still won't go.
hi im not sure this is in the right place but seems to be the best bet.
I installed playonlinux onto slacko puppy 5.6-4 and when trying to run it it says ' please install python before trying to run playonlinux '
fairly straightforward u'd think.. but python is installed and puppy knows it is since the .py files all have python icons in the file-manager.
checked other threads on same subject 1st, installed wxpython to be safe, still no go.
i have playonlinux in /opt/playonlinux if thats any help, and installed python 3 also from puppy package manager. and playonlinux still thinks its not installed :I
any help would be great

Hi bongmaster; ( Interesting screen name...
) Do you have the devx SFS file.?
It is where Python is at. If not, then go get the one for your Slacko Puppy version.

Hello @BongMaster
Your name reminds many of days of college. It also reminds of the many men who have found relief of their prostate issues or others in relief of some ailments, too.
In any event, I ask this as I am NOT a python users. As you suggest, ROX sees python files, but, can you open a terminal an get a python file to execute.
If not, you just might need to install the Slacko56x DEVX sfs so that the system can navigate, find, and run python files.
Hope this helps
P.S. Should you get it working, you "may" wnat to help the rest of us out with a written tutorial of your findings and/or a video; "PlayOnLinux with Puppy". We can then watch "Puppy PlayOnLinux"

EDIT: changed password, tried to run it but got a big error thingy up, will post it tomorrow as i need to sleep bad X3

Next step I`d see if there`s any way to setup PlayOnLinux so it`ll work running as root.
Much simpler than messing around trying to get Puppy to behave differently.

But I`ve made the same mistakes as everyone has. They`re very nice about it here.

March 11, 2019, 11:48 pmDonovan Mitchell - G - Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell scored 25 points with four rebounds, five assists, five steals, a block and three 3-pointers in Monday's 89-98 loss to the Thunder.
The Don went 8-for-22 from the floor and 6-for-8 at the line which makes the line a bit ugly, but the peripheral numbers give it some shine. He's been turning it up lately and with Ricky Rubio (hip) dealing with an injury, we can expect the Jazz to continue to lean heavily on Mitchell.

The Raptors have sent Malcom MIller to the G-League on Saturday.
Miller will play for the Raptors 905's final regular season game. He is averaging 10.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.6 triples in the G-League this season but has only appeared in six games for the Raptors, playing very limited minutes.

The Clippers have signed Justin Bibbs to a second 10-day contract.
Bibbs spent most of the first 10-day deal in the G-League and is yet to make his Clippers debut. The undrafted rookie out of Virginia Tech has G-League averages of 11.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 triples in 29.7 minutes.

Tyson Chandler has no plans to retire anytime soon.
Chandler on his future in the league says, "I feel like I got a lot left." He is 36 years old and averaged 3.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 15.9 minutes across 54 games this year. He will be an unrestricted free agent after this season and the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year will hope to sign the veteran's minimum deal somewhere but no longer has value in fantasy circles.

March 23, 2019, 1:37 amLeBron James - F - Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James (sore left groin) returned from a one-game absence on Friday night and put up 25 points, nine rebounds, 14 assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer in a 106-111 loss to the Nets that eliminated the Lakers from playoff contention.
James went 8-of-25 from the field and 8-of-12 at the line while committing eight turnovers, but the real insult-to-injury part of the night came in the final minute when LeBron slipped out of bounds while driving the baseline. He came up limping after the play, so maybe it's more of an injury-to-injury situation. James returned to the game for a final offensive possession but was subbed out when the Lakers had to defend. With the Lakers' season over, we can expect more nights off going forward, especially after James appeared to get hurt again tonight.
March 23, 2019, 1:33 amJaVale McGee - C - Los Angeles Lakers
JaVale McGee set a new career-high in points on Friday night, going 15-of-20 from the field for 33 points to go with 20 rebounds, a steal and six blocks in 35 minutes against the Nets.
McGee went 3-of-7 from the charity stripe to put a single blemish on a fantastic performance. This game surely swung some weekly matchups out there, and despite L.A.'s spot in the standings they don't appear ready to dial back on McGee's minutes just yet. Tyson Chandler played 13 minutes while Mo Wagner and Johnathan Williams didn't take the floor. Just hope that it keeps up so McGee can put up big numbers as the Lakers play out the string.
March 23, 2019, 1:28 amKyle Kuzma - F - Los Angeles Lakers
Kyle Kuzma scored 18 points with five rebounds, a block and three triples on Friday night, though he shot 5-of-19 to get there.
Kuzma's stat set is just not good enough for him to really help you out when the shot isn't falling. Points, threes and rebounds will be there — as will some assists if LeBron James sits out — but everything else will be lacking. Deploy as needed.
March 23, 2019, 1:26 amAlex Caruso - G - Los Angeles Lakers
Alex Caruso came off the bench on Friday and posted 10 points, eight rebounds, two assists, a steal and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes against the Nets.
Caruso shot just 3-of-10 but it's certainly better than Rajon Rondo, who had five points, three rebounds, four assists, a steal and a triple in 25 minutes. Now that the Lakers are officially out of the playoffs we could see the scales tilt further in Caruso's direction, which means only those of you who are in desperate need of assists should be hanging onto Rondo. Caruso's a decent flier with the Lakers having four games next week but we wouldn't be entirely surprised if he ended up burning you, so buyer beware.
March 23, 2019, 1:24 amKentavious Caldwell-Pope - G - Los Angeles Lakers
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored seven points (1-of-6 FG) to go with four rebounds, one assist, two steals and a triple in 33 minutes against the Nets on Friday.
KCP took a predictable hit with LeBron James back in action, and even the absence of Josh Hart wasn't enough to earn him more looks on offense tonight. He's a 3-point streaming option but we wouldn't fully trust him as a permanent member of lineups in standard-sized leagues — at least not when LeBron is healthy.
March 23, 2019, 1:21 amD'Angelo Russell - G - Brooklyn Nets
D'Angelo Russell put up 21 points and 13 assists in his return L.A., adding three steals, four triples and six turnovers in a win over the Lakers.
Technically Russell had been back to L.A. given that Brooklyn played the Clippers several days ago, but the sweet narrative can ignore such things. It wasn't anything special as far as the vaunted "Revenge Games" go, but Russell gets the last laugh as the Lakers were eliminated from playoff contention with the loss tonight. We'll see if he can get back on a roll now that the Nets have removed Caris LeVert, another ball-handler, from the starting lineup. Spencer Dinwiddie was also productive with 19 points, two steals, a block and two triples off the bench, though he shot just 4-for-14.
March 23, 2019, 1:17 amEd Davis - C - Brooklyn Nets
Ed Davis came off the bench for 14 points, 15 rebounds (seven offensive), a steal and a block on 7-of-11 shooting in 20 minutes on Friday against the Lakers.
Davis is always one of the top rebound streamers available and odds are that someone in one of your leagues got pushed over the hump by this huge game. Hopefully it was you. Boss would've had a bigger game if not for five fouls, too. Jarrett Allen was less impressive but still turned in a decent game with 13 points, 11 rebounds and a block.
