Sovereignty for Survival: American Energy Development and Indian Self-Determination
Allison III, James Robert, Department of History, University of Virginia

McMillen, Christian, Department of History, University of Virginia
This dissertation explains how American Indians reclaimed control over their natural resources. During the 1970s "Energy Crises," tribes possessing minerals crucial to America's quest for energy independence resisted large-scale, federally-supported mining projects that threatened the survival of their indigenous communities. Out of this local resistance, tribal leaders recognized the need for a nationally coordinated movement to provide their governments with the institutional capacity to responsibly manage reservation land. To do so, they forged innovative partnerships with federal agencies tasked with increasing domestic energy production, creating the Council of Energy Resource Tribes that promised energy for the nation and desperately needed revenue for the tribes. Unfortunately, antiquated federal laws hindered energy tribes' efforts to develop reservation resources. Passed during the Progressive Era and embedded with notions of Indian inferiority, these laws placed federal "experts" in position to direct reservation mining, denying tribes the right to shape the pace and scale of development. Tribal leaders, however, had just spent the previous decade expanding their institutional capacities, and they now demanded the authority to exercise their newly acquired capabilities. Working with industry representatives, federal officials, and members of Congress, energy tribes thus constructed a new legal regime – anchored by the 1982 Indian Mineral Development Act – that recognized tribal, not federal, control over reservation development. Importantly, these momentous efforts to restructure federal law also reshaped Indian Country. As tribes altered their governments to better manage resources, intense internal debates erupted over culturally authentic forms of indigenous governance. The III resolution of these conflicts often established new tribal governing structures, but left reservation communities deeply divided over whether these new forms adequately represented their shared values. In the end, the process to increase tribal capacity and secure legal authority over reservation resources produced both a new federal regulatory regime and new tribal governing structures and values.

As much as we would like to think it was floating, it really isn't! This floating bed is simply supported by a single beam attached to the wall. The guy on this bed has clearly got too much time on his hands and has really got sucked in by the advertising of the floating bed. Oh well, each to their own!
Well this design is very practical if you have limited space in your bedroom but comes at a lovely price tag of $3650.
For all the book lovers out there this bed is probably the best for you. Designed in Tokyo the bed was named the Uroko house and is perfect for young children who love to hide away and build dens in their bedrooms.
Literally the coolest bed I have ever seen! Complete with a projector the screen allows you to watch movies, TV and browse the Internet.
And without evening mentioning the price for most of these fantastic beds, you can probably already see that they are rather costly. If these are pretty much out of your budget (which I think for most of us it is!) then find new ways of getting the best bedroom on the block. If you can't do it with design buy bedding pillows of high quality such as feather pillows and be known as having the comfiest bed in the house.
If feathers don't tickle your fancy be the best in the house and buy a memory foam mattress topper for your bed. That way you will have the best night's sleep, the most support on your muscles and joints and the cosiest bed there can be.
Have you seen any other dream beds? We would love to see! Share them with us!
I simply want to say I am newbie to blogging and really loved this web page. More than likely I'm want to bookmark your site . You amazingly have wonderful writings. Thanks a lot for sharing your website page.


ISBN 9781921920202. 300 pages, with index, 84 black & white photos, 13 chapter maps. First published by Central Queensland University Press 2003 (ISBN 1876780304). This edition published by Boolarong Press 2011. 230mm x 160mm.
The Kokoda Trail is a remote jungle track in the old Australian Territory of Papua where Aussie Diggers and Fuzzy Wuzzy angels battled against Japanese invaders to save Australia in 1942. The Kokoda Trail campaign, fought out over six months and two days on a narrow front in appalling conditions has become an honoured part of our Australian heritage.
But there is much more to the Kokoda Trail than this. Historian and adventurer Stuart Hawthorne looks back 130 years over the Trail's captivating past. He traces the explorers, gold seekers, missionaries and colonial officials who pushed this tiny footpad across unbelievably harsh country to set out a fascinating account of the fortunes of this 96.4 kilometre track. Did you know a surveyor set out the route of the first Kokoda Trail before Kokoda even existed? Or why it's the Kokoda Trail, not Track? Or who gave the Trail's 'Golden Staircase' its name?
Thirty years in the making, The Kokoda Trail: A History provides the first complete account of this sinuous little footpad that holds such an esteemed position in the Australian psyche. This book reveals for the first time there is another, larger, history of the Kokoda Trail which is every bit as compelling and intriguing as the grim war years of 1942.
**** A fascinating insight into the turbulent history of the Trail, comprehensively illustrated with early photographs and easily understood sequential maps. Stuart Hawthorne displays a clear understanding based on his personal knowledge and experience. A definitive resource and a major contribution to the historical record. —Brigadier Gordon Jones AM.
**** Extremely well researched … a very readable and engrossing account of the most cherished of Australian icons. —Group Captain Greg Ison.
**** Stuart Hawthorne has woven a tale that was most definitely worth telling, and he has done it well. The writing is crisp and clear … Obviously the work of an experienced researcher, writer and historian with an intimate and long-term knowledge of the subject. —Queensland Parliamentary Library Review.
**** Much debate has occurred as to whether it should be called "Track" or "Trail" and this book does not try to settle that issue although the author freely uses both terms and does give the impression–at least to this reviewer–that he favours "Track" but acknowledges that the PNG Government has decided to officially use "Trail".
XAs members of the 39th Battalion, we tend to sometimes think that we "pioneered" the Kokoda Track but that is very far from being historically correct. For more than 130 years, attempts had been made to establish a route for a road–albeit a pack horse or mule track–from Port Moresby to Yodda (a name which pre-dates Kokoda) in order to service the gold mines which existed in the area. This reviewer was very interested to read of the problems with the "hairpin bend" near the Rouna Falls as he remembers a vehicle in which he was travelling almost going over the edge as the driver made the several backwards and forwards movements that were initially necessary to negotiate the bend.
This book gives a very interesting account of the efforts of these early explorers who ranged from entrepreneurs to devout missionaries to government surveyors. It tells the story of risks faced from cannibal tribes and how eventually the tribesmen came to accept the invasion of their territory as something they might be able to use to their advantage. A regular mail service between Port Moresby and Yodda was established during the 19th century and was operated usually by two armed "police boys", travelling on foot with the mail in pouches, and recording quite amazing times for the journey. At the same time, mail and supplies were brought by boat to the northern coast and manhandled overland to the several mining areas and on occasions the complete journey was made between the two coast lines.
The later chapters deal with some of "our" history and what happened post war.
This is a very readable book. —Review from The Good Guts ( Newsletter of 39th Australian Infantry Battalion (1941-43) Association), April 2011, No 170, p23.
**** This interesting and very detailed history of the Kokoda Trail from its earliest beginnings covers ground which has not been available in most other accounts which, in the main, concentrate on the famous 1942 battle by Australian soldiers against the invading Japanese. The author, who spent much of his early life in Papua, is to be congratulated on his meticulous research over a period of thirty years – the result is a fascinating read for any ex-resident of PNG.
The many maps included illustrate the determined attempts over the years to find a land route over the intimidating heights of the Owen Stanley Range, which still today separates Port Moresby from the rest of the country. There are comprehensive descriptions of several attempted crossings. These include Rev James Chalmers in 1879, William Armit from the Melbourne Argus newspaper in 1883 shortly followed by George Morrison of the Melbourne Age newspaper. It was an altercation involving Morrison's party that left a legacy for some years of a hostile attitude to any other parties attempting to penetrate that area. Explorations organised by the Administrator, Sir William MacGregor, who scaled Mt Victoria, 4072 metres, in June 1889 and who also crossed British New Guinea from north to south in 1896 via Mt Scratchley, 3810 metres, are covered. —James Porter in Una Voce September 2005.
**** When the route of today's Kokoda Trail was inaugurated as an overland mail route in 1904, the Administrator, Francis Barton took along a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion. Ceremonial toasting took place in The Gap on 22nd December when Barton's expedition, travelling from Port Moresby, rendezvoused with another party under Resident Magistrate Henry Griffin, who had climbed up from Kokoda. Unfortunately, no one had remembered to bring the champagne flutes so they had to make do with enamelled iron mugs.
This is one of the fascinating anecdotes about the Kokoda Trail revealed in Stuart Hawthorne's new book The Kokoda Trail: A History.
The Kokoda Trail: A History is well-written and thoroughly researched. With more than 100 fascinating historical photographs and detailed maps, this volume gives us a new insight into the harsh early years of this simple little footpad that has become one of the great symbols of the Australian Anzac legend. And the book is no less intriguing for the glimpse it affords readers into the little known era of Australia as a colonial governor. —Professor David Myers, Central Queensland University.

Change Is in Order: New Song "The Answer Is You" from Singer-Songwriter Jason Mark Yates
Posted in Fashionably Loud Music Reviews, News	by glitternstilettos
It happened something like this…
There was a remarkable story about a couple whose relationship was forever changed by a single song. It may seem hard to believe, but these things do happen. While just a few short years into their marriage, things grew rocky and the couple had finally decided that it was best to part ways. The husband later had a change of heart after hearing a song which stirred in him, the emotions for which he was unable to express in the past.
He approached his wife and asked forgiveness and together they decided that they could and should make it work. This scenario is all to familiar for many estranged families but, this story is the perfect example of just how powerful music can be. We have all had that one song that brings back old memories, that makes us feel a certain way that perhaps not even words can describe; this is music at work, an artist in motion. Music inspires, music provokes, and music brings out the inner-workings of humanity in ways that one can never truly imagine. An inspirational song can hold a fond memory, inspire change, and mend a broken soul; a song can create with all of its fervor, a happy ending.
Going where other artists do not dare.
When considering artists who truly create inspiring content, many of today's artists fall short. Inhibited by social contracts and staunch gender roles, artists are not always free to express the true depth of their music but, when they do; they leave a tremendous mark upon history. One artist that has ventured to open up his heart to the world is UK Singer-Songwriter Jason Mark Yates. Yates has just released his latest song called "The Answer Is You". The song is a magnificent expression of love and forgiveness from the male perspective although, the roles of the main characters can certainly be reversed.
Jason Mark Yates who is known for his award-winning songwriting expertise, joined forces with fellow singer-songwriter Darcy Jeavons to produce the exceptional Adult Contemporary track. Yates, who performed both the lead and background vocals, has a sound and style that is reminiscent of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon Bruce Springsteen.
"The Answer Is You" stays true to its Adult Contemporary sound, delivering an easy listening experience in the form of a slow-tempo ballad. The music score, which was also written by Jason Mark Yates, is composed impeccably with a mellow, acoustic sound. Half way through the song, is a lovely guitar solo where fans are able to hear the intricate blending of chords while, experiencing Yates' multiple layers of skill.
His perspective…her reality
The lyrical content of the song in combination with the musical accompaniment will create a moving and memorable listening experience for fans. Yates, whose sound has also been compared to Rod Stewart, presents to listeners a song about love and forgiveness. Through a man's lens, the song expresses his remorse for perhaps not living up to the expectations of what a great partner is but, later finding truth within his own ways and coming to terms with the fact that change is possible. The song sheds light on what may be a momentous occasion for women all over; and a wake up call for the men they love.
A young artist is born…
Discovering music while in his youth, Jason Mark Yates, like many others used music as a natural healing tool, it was indeed his answer. Having played with many bands over time, Yates has developed a timeless sound that encompasses a broad range of emotion and musical skill. As a 2013 finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest with his song "Reachin Out", he continued to expand his musical brand internationally, collaborating with singer-songwriter and fellow guitarist Darcy Jeavons. The two artists have gone on to receive even more accolades for their award-winning productions including a Certificate Entry for their collaboration "So Into You". With over 100 songs in his catalog, Jason Mark Yates is definitely on fire, we cannot wait to hear what's next for this multi-faceted performer.

[quote]Hi, I love your blog and thought I could share a tip.
I haven't seen any posts anywhere about people doing this and I am the only one in the market atm on my server, here goes.
I have been having a lot of success with Invisibility potion, the pattern is a drop, easily found on Auction House.
Thanks Carl. Invisibility Potion is one of the few expensive potions that I sell. The others that sell for consistently good prices are Elixir of Giant Growth, Pygmy Oil, Ethereal Oil, Potion of Illusion, Deepstone Oil, and Darkwater Potion. These are all alchemist recipes which have a constant demand due to their unusual effects.
The Elixir of Giant Growth and Deepstone Oil potions especially sell well together, if you can put together a good sales pitch for trade chat. Innuendos abound. I shan't repeat them here in case readers have delicate dispositions!
Darkwater Potion is the newest potion to be added to the list. The materials are 3 Desecrated Oil per potion. 2 Desecrated Oil are made by alchemists with 3 Spinefish. Spinefish can be caught by anglers, with the highest drop rate in Kun-lai Summit Spinefish Schools at Firebough Nook and Inkgill Mere (also Dread Waste's Lake of Stars and Rikkitun Village).
Invisibility Potion makes the drinker invisible for 18 seconds. Opening chests, attacking, shifting forms, or taking damage will break invisibility. It is made by Alchemists with a skill level of 235.
I wonder if you can be an invisible Jinyu Assassin with Giant Growth? Anyone tried it?
Sadly I invested a bunch of time into farming the mats for these only to discover that my server is so low-pop that we only have 2 groups of 5 even attempting challenge modes – and they're on the opposite faction. I suggest anyone wanting to follow this tip check their server's challenge mode leaderboards before attempting to follow!
oh dear oh dear, please don't give up after one day! The number of players doing challenge runs is only going to increase over time.

Washington Notes: RGIII, Williams, Roberts
While Washington's decision to name Kirk Cousins as the team's starting quarterback for the 2015 season has been viewed as a signal that Robert Griffin III's time in D.C. is coming to an end, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk makes the case for why it makes some sense for the club to keep him on the roster. As Florio writes, Cousins and Colt McCoy aren't exactly the safest QB duo in the league, and RGIII's salary isn't exorbitant for a backup.
Still, as Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports observes, the RGIII era in Washington seems likely to come to an end by next February, with the club likely cutting him in the new year or sooner. Here's more on the former No. 2 overall pick, along with a couple more Washington-related notes:
Robinson and Peter King of TheMMQB.com both look ahead and attempt to identify an ideal landing spot for Griffin after he and Washington officially go their separate ways. In Robinson's view, the Chiefs are the best fit for RGIII, while King cites the Seahawks and Cardinals as logical potential suitors.
Although most observers don't believe Washington would be able to trade Griffin, it may be possible if the quarterback is willing to renegotiate his 2016 option year to remove the injury-only guarantee, writes former agent Joel Corry of CBSSports.com. Of course, as Corry acknowledges, Washington still wouldn't be able to get much in return for the 25-year-old.
$30MM of Trent Williams' five-year, $66MM contract extension with Washington is fully guaranteed at signing, according to Joel Corry of CBSSports.com (all Twitter links). Corry adds that the team, having used a signing/option bonus structure on the deal, will pick up $3.55MM in cap room for the 2015 season.
In his latest mailbag for the Washington Post, Mike Jones fields questions about Washington's outside linebackers, Andre Roberts' role, and – of course – the quarterback situation.

It's the Deep Breath before the Plunge
By David French

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jamie Lannister in Game of Thrones	 (HBO)
Warning. SPOILERS are ahead. If you don't want to know anything about episode two of the final season of Game of Thrones, stop reading. Now.
One of my favorite moments in Peter Jackson's outstanding adaptation of Lord of the Rings happened in the final movie, The Return of the King. On the eve of Mordor's assault on Minas Tirith, Gandalf and Pippin Took gaze at the literal storm to come. "It's so quiet," Pippin says. "It's the deep breath before the plunge," replies Gandalf. That phrase captures the spirit of last night's episode of Game of Thrones perfectly. Aside from the opening inquisition of Jaime Lannister, the episode was dedicated to capturing the last moments before a hopeless fight.
It was poignant, and it was perfectly done. It's a cliché, but it's true — even when fighting for a noble cause, men truly fight for the person beside them. They seek fellowship, and in the shadow of battle, even deep grievances can fade away. The best moment of the episode came in the great hall of Winterfell, when one-by-one old enemies wandered into the hall, pulled up a chair, and carried on the kind of conversation that made Game of Thrones truly special. It's a show that's always nailed those small moments, the back-and-forth in the halls and chambers that often decided the fate of kingdoms.
And like every gathering of fighting men (and, in this case, women) since the dawn of time, the sublime mingles with the ridiculous. We heard Tormund Giantsbane's ridiculous origin story, Jaime knighted Brienne in a deeply poignant moment, and in a different spot in the castle, huddled against the cold on the wall, the Hound reminded Arya that he once fought for her. The entire episode showed characters essentially getting their affairs in order. And the sense of hopelessness and dread radiated out into the audience. After seven season of this show, we know happy endings are elusive, and we know that some beloved characters will likely die in the next episode. So tonight we were saying goodbye, we just didn't know to whom.

But not everyone was thinking only of the next day. Sansa, Daenerys, and Jon are still fully engaged in the great game — Sansa and Daenerys explicitly, and Jon in his own, tortured and brooding way. They don't know that they'll live to fight another day, but they're planning and scheming as if they will. With exquisite timing, Jon revealed his true identity to Daenerys just as the horns summoned them to battle, opening a potential rift at a moment of maximum crisis. One wonders — given the heel turn the showrunners have been broadcasting for the better part of a season — whether Dany will be tempted to take advantage of the confusion of battle to try to rid herself of the one man who can truly challenge her claim to the Iron Throne.
For a show that has often intentionally avoided the high-fantasy elements of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I found it interesting the number of seemingly explicit callbacks to Jackson's films. There was the quiet and contemplation before the overwhelming assault on Gondor, and then the episode ended with a scene that had more than few echoes of the moments before the epic Battle of Helm's Deep. Tyrion stood on the walls of Winterfell as an overwhelming force gathered in the distance. These moments worked for the same reason they worked in Jackson's films — they humanized the fundamental unreality of the fantasy moment. They made imminent attacks by fictional creatures feel as real as one would feel watching attacks from a human opponent.
After multiple episodes of table-setting, the end game is upon us. We don't know what the world will look like after the battle. I can foresee a story arc where Jon and Dany's forces are crushed, and the scattered remnants flee both the Night King and Cersei. I can foresee a classic victory against overwhelming odds, but followed by a very Thrones sour note, as Daenerys immediately turns her attention to dealing with Jon's threat to her crown. The entire last season was a buildup to this moment. In many ways, the entire series has been building to two clashes — the fight against the Night King and the final fight for the throne. Next Sunday we may see one fight resolved, and if the news from the set is any indication, that fight may well be the most epic fantasy battle ever filmed. I for one, cannot wait. Bring on the plunge.

The narrow power decay-length (lambda(q)), recently found in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited (IWL) discharges in tokamaks, is studied using 3D, flux-driven, global two-fluid turbulence simulations. The formation of the steep plasma profiles is found to arise due to radially sheared E x B poloidal flows. A complex interaction between sheared flows and parallel plasma currents outflowing into the sheath regulates the turbulent saturation, determining the transport levels. We quantify the effects of sheared flows, obtaining theoretical estimates in agreement with our non-linear simulations. Analytical calculations suggest that the IWL lambda(q) is roughly equal to the turbulent correlation length.

Andray Blatche signs deal to play in China next season
By Brett PollakoffSep 20, 2014, 3:30 PM EDT
Andray Blatche was a key rotation player for a Nets team that made it to the second round of the playoffs last season, but Brooklyn made a decision fairly early on that it wasn't interested in re-signing him in free agency.
Way back in December, Blatche missed four games due to what the team referred to as personal reasons at the time, but later it was discovered that he was suspended due to "a lack of conditioning and preparedness."
Blatche remained unsigned as he played for the Philippines national team this summer at the FIBA World Cup, and with most teams having already spent their salary cap dollars elsewhere, he decided to give China a shot next season instead.
From ASM Sports:
Official: @drayblatche has signed a 1 year deal with the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers.
The Flying Tigers made the CBA finals last year and the club feels Andray is the final piece to a championship contender.
Andray is extremely excited to be joining a 1st-class club & looks forward to building relationships throughout the Pacific Rim.
Blatche must've enjoyed being one of the best players on the floor in international play, and he'll get in the neighborhood of $2.5 million for his troubles, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
The season in China ends in March, and at that point Blatche would be available to sign with a team for a stretch run into the playoffs. If all goes well overseas, expect Blatche to be back in the NBA, perhaps with a contender, before the postseason begins.
Last year in Brooklyn, Blatche averaged 11.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per contest over 73 regular season appearances.

Five lessons learned from the FIBA World Cup
By Kurt HelinSep 15, 2014, 8:00 AM EDT
There wasn't much drama — Team USA went 9-0 in the World Cup, won games by an average of 32 points, and when they turned on the energy pretty much every game felt like the gold medal game rout of Serbia.
What did we learn from all this? Well, aside the USA doesn't have to send a team to the FIBA Americas tournament next year to qualify for the Rio Olympics now? Here are five things I'm taking away from basketball in August and September.
1) The USA's talent pool remains far deeper, bigger than the rest of the globe. Sure, basketball is a growing international game, with tons of fans in China and the Philippines. In some parts of the world its popularity is second only to soccer/futball. But we still have the best players by far. All the talk before this tournament was about who wasn't there — and that was before Paul George got injured and Kevin Durant pulled out. Didn't matter. Not only did we always have the best couple players on the court at every moment, we were rolling NBA All-star caliber players off the bench. No country in the world is close to matching that yet. (Well, maybe Spain, but they blew the chance to test that theory.)
2) Anthony Davis is ready to make the next leap. No doubt Kenneth Faried was the breakout star of the World Cup for the USA (and he earned himself a lot of extra bank). Kyrie Irving was the World Cup MVP and looked like a guy ready to step on the stage next to LeBron James in a couple of weeks. But it was Anthony Davis though the tournament that looked like a guy who is going to make a leap this year — and I mean leap to top five NBA player. At least, maybe third. Mike Krzyzewski put a lot on him and Davis lived up to it — he averaged 12.3 points a game on 54.9 percent shooting, plus he pulled down 6.6 rebounds a game and averaged 2.1 blocks on top of it all. Early in the tournament he was destroying teams and he forced teams to adjust their defense to account for him, which opened up scoring opportunities for James Harden, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the rest on the wings. When the season starts, keep an eye on Davis and the Pelicans.
3) Bulls fans are going to like having Pau Gasol around. The elder Gasol had looked like a guy dropping off the past couple years in Los Angeles, but that was more about Mike D'Antoni's coaching than anything. Gasol didn't fit in D'Antoni's role (as a stretch four) and that led to a lack of energy. Back in his native Spain Gasol was showing off his wide arsenal of shots to score 20 points a game on 63.5 percent shooting. More importantly, he was showing passion for the game again, something D'Antoni sucked out of him. Gasol found his love of the game again and watch out for him in Chicago.
4) Speaking of Bulls fans, Derrick Rose is pretty healthy but still has a ways to go. On the bright side, Derrick Rose was moving well by the end of the World Cup. He played in five games in six days, showing he is healthy. He played some good defense, he showed some signs of a more mature game (like the six assists in the gold medal game against Serbia). But his shot was just off — he hit just 25.4 percent of his attempts all tournament. He struggled to finish inside, his jumper was erratic (he was 1-of-19 from three). Bulls fans need to hope that is just rust. For Bulls fans the good news is Rose shook off some of that rust in Spain rather than in the early games of the season.
5) There were a lot of players from around the globe who were just fun to watch. We focused on Team USA a lot but there other guys from other countries who had big tournaments. Minnesota's Gorgui Dieng looked like a guy ready for more minutes while playing for Senegal. The Nets have themselves a shooter in incoming rookie Bojan Bogdanovic of Croatia, who averaged 21.2 points a game. Don't confuse him with Bogdan Bogdanovic of Serbia, who looked like he could develop into a player the Phoenix Suns could use in a couple of years if/when he comes over. Jose Barea led the tournament averaging 22 points a game. Andray Blatche averaged 21.2 for the Philippines while still making Blatche-like plays. Goran Dragic was great as expected but it was his unsigned brother Zoran who was catching people's eyes. Even "Pooh" Jeter (Ukraine) was a blast to watch.

Robin Lopez wants to replace Andray Blatche as Philippines' naturalized player
By Dan FeldmanSep 12, 2014, 10:45 AM EDT
Andray Blatche lived up to the Philippines' expectations in his first tournament as a naturalized citizen.
Though the Philippines went just 1-4 in the World Cup, the team was competitive in every game – thanks to Blatche. He starred, averaging 21.1 points (second in the World Cup) and 13.8 rebounds (first) per game.
After a quirky start, this relationship is going well.
But if the Philippines are ever looking for another ringer – national teams are allowed one naturalized citizen – Trail Blazers center Robin Lopez would be eager to join.
Lopez, via Karlo Sacamos of Spin.ph
"If the whole Andray Blatche thing doesn't work out, I'm here for Gilas," Lopez said on Thursday after conducting a training camp organized by Gatorade and NBA Philippines at the Hoops Center in Mandaluyong.
"I don't wish any harm to come to Dray because obviously he's played his heart out for that team and he's a great fit," the Portaland Trail Blazer said
"I'd love to (play for the country). I realized the passion these people have for basketball," said Lopez, whose brother Brook played with Blatche at Brooklyn in the last NBA season.
Blatche, in the estimate of Rafe Bartholomew of Grantland, received more than $1 million from the Philippines for this venture. Maybe the national team broke the bank to get any NBA player, but Lopez is better than Blatche. He could try to draw even more money.
So, yes, I'm sure Lopez respect Filipino basketball culture. But there would also be a financial benefit if he ever gained citizenship and joined the national team.

Heat meet with free agent big man Ryan Hollins
By Brett PollakoffSep 7, 2014, 8:00 AM EDT
Ryan Hollins has played for six teams in his eight NBA seasons for two primary reasons.
Players who are seven feet tall and have any sort of ability will continue to get chances at the professional level, because as the saying goes, you can't teach size. But once teams have had Hollins in house to see up close what he has to offer, he doesn't tend to last very long, which has led to his bouncing around the league.
The Miami Heat, still desperate for some backup big man help, have become the latest team to give Hollins a serious look.
From Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald:
Still in search of veteran depth at center, the Heat on Friday summoned 7-0 center Ryan Hollins to Miami to meet with Erik Spoelstra and his staff, according to a person briefed by the team. No offer was made Friday or Saturday but Hollins remains under consideration. …
The Heat auditioned veteran center Nazr Mohammed a week ago and also has inquired about free agent center Andray Blatche. The Heat is very intrigued by free agent center Emeka Okafor, but ESPN has reported he might not play until midseason because of a bulging disc in his neck.
Okafor is the best of the bunch when healthy, but it's unclear when he'll be available. Blatche would be a fine addition too, despite the knucklehead factor, but it would be tough to see him signing up for a minimum deal with Miami given his skill set.
Hollins played for the Clippers the last two seasons, and averaged just 7.9 minutes per contest in 61 regular season appearances most recently. He'll be most remembered in Los Angeles, however, for unfortunate plays like these.

Heat ask about Andray Blatche, work out Nazr Mohammed
By Dan FeldmanSep 2, 2014, 12:02 AM EDT
The Heat, with only minimum contracts available, want to add a shooting guard and a big.
They got their shooting guard in Shannon Brown.
The big? A few candidates are emerging.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald:
The Heat, looking to add another veteran backup center, summoned 6-11 Nazr Mohammed, [36], for a workout and meeting with team executives on Thursday.
Among free agent centers, the Heat is most intrigued by Emeka Okafor.
The Heat also has inquired about 6-11 free agent center Andray Blatche, who has a home here.
Mohammed played 80 games for the Bulls last season, setting a record for fewest minutes per game (7.0) by someone who appeared in so many games. At 36, the role he can handle is likely only shrinking.
Okafor is reportedly out until midseason, limiting his value to the Heat. They're going to be jockeying for playoff positioning, so early games matter. (Life without LeBron is harder).
Blatche is playing – well and amusingly – in the World Cup for the Philippines right now. This is essentially an audition for him. Perhaps Miami has moved on from players of his profile, but Blatche certainly has the most upside of the group. That's always difficult to turn down.

Bengals force late red zone turnover, hold off Pats 22-18
by: KYLE HIGHTOWER, Associated Press
Posted: Dec 24, 2022 / 01:56 PM PST
Updated: Dec 24, 2022 / 02:48 PM PST
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Joe Burrow wanted to be happier after the Cincinnati Bengals walked off the field toting a 22-18 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday.
Burrow threw three touchdown passes and the Bengals offense had nearly 500 yards. But it took the defense forcing a late turnover in the red zone to preserve the victory.
He also knows that won't be enough for his team to ultimately accomplish its goal this season.
"We got to do a better job on offense of putting teams away," Burrow said. "Teams that want to win the Super Bowl put them away a little earlier."
The Bengals (11-4) won their seventh straight and remained in the driver's seat for a second consecutive AFC North title. They clinched a playoff berth by virtue of the New York Jets' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, and still have a chance at the conference's top seed and a first-round playoff bye.
Despite leading 22-0 at halftime, the Bengals still let this one come down to the wire.
The Patriots had the ball on the Cincinnati 5 with just over a minute to play when Rhamondre Stevenson was hit by Vonn Bell and fumbled, leading to Josh Tupou's recovery. The Bengals punted it back four plays later, but the Patriots turned the ball over on downs.
"I was trying to make something happen," Stevenson said. "Probably doing more than I was supposed to do. Probably should have just went down but ultimately, he took the ball from me and I fumbled."
Stevenson was stopped at the line of scrimmage and pushed backward before fumbling. Referee Craig Wrolstad was asked after the game by a pool reporter if there was consideration to blowing the play dead before the ball came out.
"In order to have forward progress, the runner has to be controlled by the defense," Wrolstad said. "He has to be held and controlled, and basically have his feet taken away. We felt that he still had his feet. So, we did not feel that he was held and controlled by the defense. He was still free to gain yardage and then also, obviously, there was still a chance that he could fumble."
Burrow finished 40 of 52 for 375 yards and two interceptions. Trenton Irwin had two touchdown catches. Tee Higgins had eight catches for 128 yards and a TD.
The Patriots (7-8) entered the week one game outside of the final AFC playoff spot. They have lost four of five.
Mac Jones finished 21 of 33 for 240 yards and two touchdowns. New England had 10 penalties for 82 yards and managed just 285 total yards. Nick Folk also missed two extra points on a day when the game-time temperature was 17 degrees and a wind chill of 4.
Cincinnati led 22-18 and was facing third down with less than four minutes to play when Ja'Marr Chase caught a short pass from Burrow and was stripped by Matt Judon. The ball was recovered by Marcus Jones on the New England 43.
A defensive holding penalty on the Bengals and 15-yard completion from Mac Jones to Marcus Jones put the ball on the Cincinnati 31.
The frigid temperature did little to slow down the Bengals offense early, which scored on each of its first three possessions.
Cincinnati dominated the first half, compiling more first downs (22) in the opening 30 minutes than the Patriots had plays (17). New England managed just three first downs, 70 total yards and amassed 44 penalty yards.
Things changed in the second half. First an errant pass by Burrow was intercepted by Marcus Jones and returned 69 yards for a touchdown.
The Patriots offense, which was showered with boos at different points in the game, then pulled within 22-12 early in the fourth on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Mac Jones to Kendrick Bourne.
The Bengals appeared to be on the verge of responding, but kicker Evan McPherson's field goal attempt missed wide left from 43 yards out.
The Patriots were threatening again at the Cincinnati 30 when Jones was called for intentional grounding, setting up a third-and-24. It was moved back another 5 yards following a false start.
Facing third-and-29, Jones avoided the Bengals pass rush and got off a pass that was deflected at the goal line and fell into the hands of Jakobi Meyers for a 48-yard TD. Folk's extra point was no good, leaving the score 22-18.
Cincinnati won at New England for the first time since 1986.
"We're going to be happy with the win because they are so hard to come by, and seven in a row, our guys have that confidence that we're playing good football," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said.
Bengals: OT La'el Collins limped off in the first quarter with a left knee injury and was ruled out.
Patriots: ST Brendan Schooler left in the first quarter with a shoulder injury but was able to return. … TE Hunter Henry left in the first quarter with a knee injury and did not return. … TE Jonnu Smith was checked out early in the fourth quarter for a head injury. … Judon walked of on his own power after being shaken up on a play in the fourth and was able to return.
GETTING DEFENSIVE
Marcus Jones' Pick-6 marked the sixth defensive TD of season for New England, tying a franchise record. It was also the Patriots' third straight game with a defensive score, which they haven't done since 2004.

Per capita personal income in northeast Ind. grows
News Coverage:
News-Sentinel
But it's still well below the national average.
Tuesday, December 3, 2013 - 10:30 am
In 2012, per capita personal income in northeast Indiana continued climbing back toward the national average. The bad news: At 81.2 percent of that national average, the region still lags far, far below the United States as a whole.
Those numbers – and explanations of how this region reached that point – were to be presented today at the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership's State of the Region report.
In 1994, per capita personal income in this region was 96.2 percent of the national average. It dwindled, measured against the rest of the country, bottoming out at 79.1 percent in 2009. Since then, the number has been creeping back up.
Analysis by Ellen Cutter, director of the Community Research Institute at IPFW, and John Stafford, the former director of the CRI, are the heart of the State of the Region report. The presentations look at the economic vitality of this corner of the state, which the regional partnership defines as Allen, Adams, Wells, Huntington, Wabash, Whitley, Noble, DeKalb, Steuben and LaGrange counties. The 10 counties have a total population of nearly 682,000.
An important force raising incomes here, compared with the rest of the country, is the region's manufacturing employment. Of the roughly 390,000 workers in the region, more than 71,000 were employed in manufacturing in 2012. The average annual earnings in the region are $40,163 overall, but $59,920 in manufacturing.
The improving personal income figures in recent years reflect a rebound in manufacturing after the depths of the great recession. But manufacturing employment is still far below what it was only a decade ago.
In 2009, manufacturing employment dipped to about 63,000, compared with more than 71,000 now. But even the "recovered" manufacturing employment today is far less than it was in 2002, when nearly 90,000 people in this region worked in that sector.
Stafford identified nine key industry clusters in advanced manufacturing: chemical, pharmaceutical and fertilizer; engines; computers, electronics and precision instruments; industrial machinery; medical instruments; motor vehicles; cable and wiring; steel, metalworking and machine tools; and technical engineering. Over the next decade, he forecasts strong prospects for employment growth in medical instruments; steel, machine tools and metalworking; and technical engineering. Other fields will remain important sources of employment, too, even if they aren't adding many employees.
A crucial part of nurturing these higher-paying sources of jobs is encouraging people to learn the trades needed for these employers.
The research highlights occupations the growing manufacturers will need: truck drivers, bookkeepers, accountants and clerks; maintenance and repair workers; industrial machinery mechanics; cabinetmakers and bench carpenters; welders, cutters, solderers and brazers; industrial production managers; computer-controlled machine-tool operators; tool and die makers; machinists; and printing press operators.
The technology engineering cluster, a particularly large and well-paying part of the business landscape in this region has its own set of occupational needs in coming years: management analysts; software developers; information security analysts, Web developers and computer network architects; programmers; sales reps and other support services; computer-support specialists; interior designers; and graphic designers.

The project consists of the construction of a new 205MW Siemens combined cycle gas turbine power station, known as Delimara 4. Another part of the project is the conversion of an LNG tanker into a floating storage unit FSU to be permanently berthed near shore, close to the fishing village of Marsaxlokk. The FSU delivers liquefied natural gas (LNG) via a newly constructed jetty, for onshore regasification. As part of this project, EGM needed a Storm Mooring System to keep the FSU safe and secure in the event of a heavy storm.

Gov't launches anti-inflation shield
(PAP) mb/md/mf November 30, 2021
"Today we have begun introducing the provisions of the anti-inflation shield," the prime minister said. "It is to protect Polish families and household budgets from rising prices." Radek Pietruszka/PAP
The Polish prime minister on Tuesday launched a PLN 10 billion (EUR 2.1 billion) financial shield designed to "protect" the country's economy and households from rising inflation.
Mateusz Morawiecki said the shield will introduce excise cuts on fuel and electricity, VAT cuts on heating and an inflation aid scheme for households hit by rising prices.
He also said that a bill lowering the excise duty on fuel and power was passed by the government earlier on Tuesday.
Morawiecki said the household aid will range from PLN 400 (EUR 85.4) to PLN 1,100 (EUR 235), and will be paid out in two tranches. He added that the government decided to extend the scheme to cover more affected households.
Also planned are VAT cuts, ranging from 23 to 8 percent, on heating gas and electricity, and the annulment of excise duty on electricity, Morawiecki said.
"Today we have begun introducing the provisions of the anti-inflation shield," the prime minister said. "It is to protect Polish families and household budgets from rising prices."

Frankfurt: Giant German automobile manufacturing company BMW's new chief executive, Harald Krueger, fainted on stage at the Frankfurt auto show on Tuesday, a Reuters witness reported.
Krueger collapsed as he was commenting on BMW's latest models during a news conference. Two men escorted him off stage. Kruger was able to walk.
It was the first appearance at a major auto show by Krueger, who took the helm as CEO in May.
Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner took over the press roundtable.


A novel wavelength swept broadband source based on an ultrashort pulse laser and an external tunable filter was proposed for application of frequency domain-optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). The laser beam coupled into the single mode fiber, which provided 0.5-nm instantaneous spectral linewidth with 1-mW average output power, was tuned from 740 nm to 850 at a 1 kHz repetition rate. The system with an axial resolution of 5 &mgr;m performed OCT imaging of air-gap between glass plates proving potential about the application of pulse laser source to FD-OCT system. The proposed swept source scheme could be applied for the implementation of ultra-high resolution FD-OCT system based on a supercontinuum source with an ultra-short pulse laser and a high nonlinear optical fiber.

"We had very poor mobile phone signal at our offices in "The Abbey Business Centre" It's a lovely old building with thick walls that go back a long way which resulted in poor coverage. On some networks, it was difficult to send a text message. Local company, "Daltontv.ie" gave us the solution. We had a commercial mobile phone repeater installed by them recently. The work was completed very quickly, just one day. We now have full signal for all mobile networks right throughout our offices. They were very professional in all they did here. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!
The Abbey Business Centre Kilkenny. 056 7751855.
We contacted Daltontv.ie around twelve months ago. We were having problems with our TV channels in our gymnasium. Dalton TV installed a brand new digital TV system. We now have nearly 30 TV channels, and perfect pictures on all TVs. They were absolutely fantastic, inform them what you want and the rest is taken care of. I would have no hesitation of recommending Kenny and the team to any customer. We are continuously looking at improving our services and Daltontv.ie are the team that we will be using.
We were looking for someone to look after our TV distribution system. We contacted Dalton TV who arrived promptly to look over our system. They quoted us for some upgrades and were happy to take charge of our system despite not having installed it originally.
They arrived back when they said they would, and the up grade was completed. They also worked on some costings for other upgrades to our system. In our business, our TV system is important for our residents and we would be happy to recommend Daltontv.ie to any other business.
Dalton TV have been maintaining our Hotels television system since 2008. Whilst they did not install our current system, they look after all aspects of its servicing for our 118 guestrooms. We have always received efficient and professional service when the need arises.
We fully intend to upgrade our current system in the near future and will most certainly be contacting Dalton TV when the time comes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dalton TV to anyone in business looking for a reliable television service provider.
We have worked with Daltontv.ie on a number of different projects, both commercial and domestic. When it comes to advice on areas that are outside of our expertise, we rely on Daltontv.ie. We have worked with Daltontv.ie on CCTV, Multi Room Sound Systems, Internet & Wi-Fi, Television & Audio Visual equipment, and we always get a prompt solution.
On a new build, when it comes to technical issues that are outside our area of expertise we refer our customers to Daltontv.ie. We have been involved on many jobs with Dalton TV. Some of these jobs involved complex home entertainment systems, from to TV cabling, to multi room sound, internet or Wi-Fi. They come and survey the site and meet with the homeowner or client. When all is agreed they product a written report outlining satellite dish and aerial locations, where extra TV cables and sockets are required, the location of speakers, wi-fi access points, the whole lot. We then run all the necessary cables. This works great as there no mess afterwards with surface run cables. Customers love it, we love it. Its a win win situation.
We have used Dalton TV in both of our Pharmacies and beauty salon "Bliss Beauty" since 2002 to provide us with all of our audio visual needs. I have found Dalton TV to be professional, adaptable and capable each and every time we have needed to call on them. They have always provided us with an excellent service, found ways around any problems or challenges and without fail always do a very neat job! I would highly recommend Kenny and all at Dalton TV!

La Escuela de Arte de Oviedo (antes Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Oviedo) es un centro formativo de enseñanzas artísticas profesionales. Tiene su sede en Oviedo (España), donde fue fundada en 1785, siendo en la actualidad un centro de titularidad pública.

Historia
Los orígenes de la Escuela de Arte de Oviedo se remontan a finales del siglo XVIII cuando el pensamiento ilustrado de Jovellanos y Campomanes favoreció la aparición de asociaciones que veían en la actividad artística un elemento fundamental de desarrollo. De este modo, surgieron las Sociedades Económicas de Amigos del País; a la que se formó en Asturias se debe la iniciativa de la primera Escuela de Dibujo en 1785, embrión de la futura Escuela de Artes y Oficios.

En 1854, la Academia de Bellas Artes de San Salvador vino a sustituir a la Escuela de Dibujo. Durante algunos años se impartieron en ella estudios orientados a una formación estética más autónoma, estilista y desligada del mundo profesional. La orientación de estos estudios dio un giro, creándose, en 1878, la primera Escuela de Artes y Oficios con un objetivo claro:

Desde sus orígenes, la Escuela de Dibujo había ocupado locales del antiguo colegio de los Jesuitas que cedió el Obispado y que posteriormente se amplió con la construcción de un edificio en la calle del Rosal. Allí permanecieron los estudios hasta su traslado definitivo, en 1975, a la calle Julián Clavería, donde se encuentran ubicadas en la actualidad.

En 1900 la Escuela de Artes y Oficios pasó a denominarse Escuela de Artes e Industrias, dependiendo del Ministerio de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes. En 1924 se cambiará el nombre por el de Escuela de Artes Aplicadas y Oficios Artísticos.

Con la llegada de la Guerra Civil española, los estudios quedaron prácticamente paralizados y en una situación de gran precariedad. El impulso definitivo no llegará hasta 1963, con el decreto de 24 de julio, que supone un cambio sustancial de las enseñanzas artísticas en España.

La Escuela de Arte de Oviedo es miembro de la Confederación de Escuelas de Artes Plásticas y Diseño.

La escuela hoy
