(RICHMOND, Va.)— The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) announced today that the Back River will be closed to shellfish harvesting due to potential contamination from a sewage spill.
A break in a sewage pipe caused a significant spill of raw sewage into a tributary of the Back River in the city of Hampton. Due to potential microbiological pollution hazards, shellfish taken from areas affected by the emergency closure are currently unacceptable for consumption.
The emergency closure is effective April 5 - 26, 2016, and is scheduled to reopen effective April 27, 2015. The Division of Shellfish Sanitation will monitor the shellfish and water quality during this period to determine if the area can be reopened sooner.
Maps of the affected areas are posted on the Division of Shellfish Sanitation's home page at www.vdh.virginia.gov/Shellfish/. The affected shellfish are bivalve mollusks including oysters and clams, but not crabs or fin fish.
For more information on shellfish closures, see the frequently asked questions on shellfish condemnations at www.vdh.virginia.gov/EnvironmentalHealth/Shellfish/faq/.

#ChurchToo
Refusing to shy away from the reality of professional sexual misconduct
Scan the news headlines from 2017 and 2018, and you'll see something unprecedented: story after story about sexual misconduct and abuse. Prominent figures – political leaders, entertainment moguls, media personalities – are being called out, as people come forward with disturbing accounts of sexual violence and abuse of power. What's truly surprising is the way the moral landscape is shifting. In the age of #MeToo, disclosures are being highlighted rather than hushed up. Repercussions are landing, swift and hard, on those accused.
As Christians, it's tempting to watch this evil come to light and believe it to be confined to the rich, famous, and powerful. But that's clearly misguided. One of the most painful elements of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission's work has been listening to the horrendous stories of sexual abuse the survivors of residential schools experienced at the hands of church workers. Even today, you need only type "#ChurchToo" into Twitter to see a long list of personal accounts from those who have been victims of sexual misconduct within local ministry settings.
But not in our church. That would never happen within our community. Many of us, perhaps, engage in this kind of wishful thinking. And we are wrong to do so.
Twenty-five years ago, the idea that professional sexual misconduct could happen on the campus of Columbia Bible College was unthinkable. A small community devoted to discipleship and ministry-training, led by such godly faculty and staff? Not possible.
But in the summer of 1991, women began to come forward. They revealed that well-respected faculty member Murray Phillips had victimized them sexually over years. An ensuing investigation revealed that at least nine women had been lured into sexual relationships with Phillips, the majority of them Columbia students.
Given the power differential between a professor and his students, this was professional sexual misconduct. Carol Penner, professor at Conrad Grebel University College, describes the reality well: "It is a violation of the role (to protect and care), it is a misuse of God-given power and authority, it is taking advantage of vulnerability, and there is an absence of meaningful consent to sexual contact" (Direction Fall 2016).
Why bring up this painful history now?
We do so for three important reasons.
First, because we have been asked to.
Brave victims and their advocates approached us with a request that we own our history. Under the watch of a college entrusted with the Christian nurture of students, the actions of one powerful and charismatic individual impacted young lives in deeply harmful ways. That's painful, but critical to acknowledge.
Also painful to remember is the initial response on the part of college and conference leadership. We need to recognize it was a different time, when leaders had far fewer resources for dealing with a crisis of this nature. But with 25 years of perspective, it is also possible to recognize mistakes that caused more pain and delayed healing.
We are not willing to ignore this invitation to confront our past, from those whose lives were forever altered.
A second reason for unearthing this difficult issue is the number of lessons we can learn.
What could we have done differently? How could we have made Columbia Bible College a safer place? What responses would best promote healing and justice?
We're determined that professional sexual misconduct will never happen on our campus again. Over time, it is easy to forget the past and become complacent. So we look back, and ask ourselves hard questions, with the hope they'll lead to a better future.
Finally, we bring up the issue of addressing professional sexual misconduct because it's time. Our highly sexualized society has begun to grapple with questions of abuse, power, and sexual violence. Many onlookers have noted that this is a time of reckoning.
As Mennonite Brethren, we have largely stayed out of the current conversation. However, the church should be out ahead on the issue of sexual misconduct, and not lagging behind. As disciples of Jesus, we're called to invite people into transformed, redemptive communities. This means doing everything in our power to make sure people are safe from sexual misconduct within our church and ministry settings, and learning how to respond faithfully and well when we encounter people who disclose that they have been harmed.
There is much to learn. This May, Columbia Bible College will host #ChurchToo, a conference on responding to professional sexual misconduct. We're delighted that Carol Penner, David Martin, Magi Cooper, and Elsie Goerzen have agreed to share their expertise in plenary sessions and workshops.
We invite ministry leaders, pastors, and anyone with a concern for this difficult topic to join us at the event for a time of learning together.
[Bryan Born is president of Columbia Bible College.

These days, when I dream of dessert, I dream of the caramel profiteroles at L'Ormeau restaurant in Cancale. Sure, the rest of the food at Christophe and Julie Wasser's restaurant is some of the best you'll find in Cancale, but those profiteroles are what make me swoon. I think it's that they truly taste of caramel – not just of cooked sugar. It takes a confident pastry chef to cook sugar to its darkest deliciousness – beyond the pale amber nothing-but-caramel-color, but not quite to the bitter burnt sugar mahogany. And to do it TWICE – for the caramel ice cream and the caramel sauce in the profiteroles. Well, that's confidence and genius.

3 Highlights Goodwood Festival of Speed 2016
The highly-anticipated automobile festival is a festival of milestones, grand classics and new cars. We zoom in on a BMW, a McLaren and a Bugatti.
Jun 24, 2016 | By Staff Writer
Full Throttle – The Endless Pursuit of Power: each of the three cars on this list embodies the theme of the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed (FoS). In fact, with a theme like that, the four-day long automobile extravaganza is set to be extraordinary – a sort of Glastonbury of auto awesomeness if you will. As this year's "headline" act, BMW will be the focus of the festival, and this is apparent starting from the sculpture in the grounds dedicated to its automotive accomplishments. We reported on that here, so check that out for more details on BMW-related activities.
Cars as old as 40 years from the German brand's archives will be on display at avenue 'M', and, for our part, the BMW 507 is the car of the moment, even though it was built in 1957. BMW will take this precious two million-dollar car out for a spin around the track with the festival's founder, Lord March at the wheel. Seriously, that man gets to have entirely too much fun.
"I'm delighted that BMW has chosen to mark its centenary with us," Lord March told the AFP. "I will be honored to drive one of the rarest, and most beautiful, BMWs ever built to open what promises to be a terrific show." If you're one of the lucky ones who are attending the prestigious show, look out for the Vision Next 100, a concept car the company thinks it will be producing in 2116.
Other automobile manufacturers will also be celebrating milestones; Volkswagen will celebrate 40 good years of its hatchback, the Golf GTi and Lamborghini will mark 50 years since the Miura model debuted, news we also covered here. Moving on from the classics, we find a strange contemporary beast lurking in plain sight here: the McLaren P1-GTR (above). Normally a track-only hypercar that is based on the prefectly road-legal P1 model, this particular car has been modified by racing team Lanzante so that it is road-legal once again! It appears here to celebrate the late James Hunt's F1 championship drive in 1976 for McLaren – it was a memorable one and you can relive it by watching the Ron Howard film Rush. A one-off P1-GTR in Hunt's colors will be taking over the Hillclimb circuit.
Lamborghini's Restored Miura
Not one to be left out, Japanese automaker Mazda will also unveil a new Icon special edition of its Miata MX-5 droptop sportscar, while Renault will put its new Twingo GT turbocharged city car and the Clio RS16 concept hot hatch to the test. Speaking of tests, we cannot wait to see how the Bugatti Chiron (below) will fare in the hill-climb challenge. The car, though still sporting the engine of the Veyron, reportedly brings approximately 1,500 horses that propel it towards the title of world's fastest production car…eventually. Goodwood will be the public's first chance to see the car up close as it races every day of the event, as we reported on earlier. If Bugatti ditches the speed-limiter for this, records will tumble…

Rubislaw Terrace, Aberdeen
Rubislaw Terrace, Aberdeen in around 1880. This photograph by George Washington Wilson shows the granite splendour of this terrace, which was planned by the architects Thomas Mackenzie and James Matthews, jointly with James Giles, artist. The houses were to be erected on the property of James Skene of Rubislaw, on the north side of Albyn Place. The <i>Aberdeen Journal</i> of 31st March 1852 describes the plans as thus: "The style of architecture possesses in a high degree the rare merit of combining what is new, at least in Aberdeen, with what is, in point of taste exceedingly beautiful". The houses have crowstepped gables and plain windows alternating with bow windows which have a balustrade, and had 11-15 rooms. In 1854, James Matthews actually lived there, and later occupants included a paper manufacturer, a ship owner, and a number of advocates. Today, many of the houses have been converted into offices for legal firms. Granite balustrades and a garden area separate the terrace from Albyn Terrace.

Millicom's lead specialists regularly report on important changes taking place within their own areas of expertise. As the company continues to focus on digital inclusion, Senior Executive Vice President of Latin America, Mario Zanotti, examines the impact of Millicom's partnerships with Internet.org, the most recent of which was announced in Guatemala last week.
30 March 2015: With the mobile revolution of recent years, mobile operators have been conducting various high-profile experiments with "zero-rated" internet access models, such as digital partnerships with Facebook, Google (Free Zone), Spotify and Viber.
This year's Mobile World Congress (#MWC15) in Barcelona shed some useful light on both the rewards and the challenges they face.
The big key question is whether zero-rating will sustainably get more people to the internet, thereby increasing digital inclusion, or whether this is simply a tactic to shift market shares amongst operators.
Also important is the need to safeguard the open nature of the internet, with or in spite of these models.
Millicom's partnership with Facebook's Internet.org is a case in point.
Guatemala has become the latest country to enjoy free-of-charge access for mobile customers to a range of websites, through Tigo. We have launched similar Internet.org partnerships in Tanzania and Colombia as well as a Facebook-for-free campaign in Paraguay in December 2013.
Because we specialize in serving emerging markets, where internet penetration overall averages just 23 per cent, we bring fresh perspective to any key discussion.
In partnership with Internet.org, we are presenting opportunities for consumers, regardless of their income group, to experience online services, manage data usage and join this increasingly digital world for the first time.
Fine-tuning this new internet entry-point business model has led to some startling data.
In Colombia, where Tigo's promotional campaign is only just underway, our free mobile internet and internet.org range of services already average 290,000 users a month (January and February 2015). One in ten were first time internet or mobile data users.
In Paraguay, we witnessed a 36 per cent rise in consumers using the service daily after the promotional campaign ended, compared to levels before it was launched.
In Tanzania, Tigo's monthly average number of users accessing internet.org sites is currently 126,000. Popular services include BBC and SuperSport.
Internet.org, in other words, is one effective way to give people that first experience online, for them to discover how it can transform the way they work, run their business, socialize, enjoy and share ideas. In turn, they can then decide whether to become regular internet users.
Of course, this model is not the only way.
Inevitably, there are challenges. Yet we believe the new initiatives we share with Internet.org are crucial for the advancement of the industry, and progress of society, in general.
Especially in our markets, where population growth remains high and a critical mass of young, tech-savvy people interested in the services we provide exists. During the MWC15, Mark Zuckerberg told audiences "to not lose sight of the fact that the ones that are driving this (internet penetration) are the operators." He drew attention to the fact that in the age of smartphones, telecom operators have the ability and responsibility to advance digital inclusion. We at Millicom will continue to meet it.
*The promotion began in January 2015. It continues at time of publication, therefore retention results are still to be measured.
**A report by Deloitte LLP for Facebook Inc estimates that a ten per cent increase in broadband penetration results in a 1.38 per cent increase in a country's GDP.

Despite the need to think across sectors, scientific, policy and professional communities are still organised through sectoral and disciplinary structures. Water Future will develop an interface between and within these communities, explicitly focusing on the formulation and transmission of messages related to the role of water, its governance and management, and the transformations in other sectors, such as energy and agriculture.
Dialogue implies learning on both sides, with policymakers and planners requiring information relating to water problems and sustainable solutions, and scientists striving to learn more about the urgent problems of society and the information needed to solve them.
Promoting water science literacy to media, as well as disseminating research through wider international global media outreach.
Water Future played a lead role in organising and convening the Science Forum at the Budapest Water Summit 2016 which took place during November 28-30th. The summit was hosted by the Hungarian Government in cooperation with the World Water Council, under the patronage of János Áder, President of Hungary in November. The mission of the summit was to position water, not as a source of conflict and global risk, but as a source of cooperation, peace and development for all the countries committed to sustainable development.


403 Gardner Building, Toledo, Ohio.
The purpose of this work is to perpetuate in the minds of this and coming generations, a knowledge of those sterling traits of character which have distinguished the Jewish race since the first dawn of civilization.
It has an interesting fact that they are the only people in the world who have been able to mingle with all nations without being absorbed by any of them.
Although loyal to the various countries of their adoption, sending their sons forth to fight their battles; giving with lavish generosity, both of time and money, toward the promotion of every worthy national or communal cause, they have yet maintained a distinct racial individuality, which is the wonder of the world.
Without organized political influence, they have financed Crowned heads and Kingdoms; sent forth across an uncharted waste of waters an expedition which opened the entire western hemisphere to the eyes of an incredulous world. For it is an established fact that it was Jewish money and influence which enabled Queen Isabella to send forth Christopher Columbus upon his momentous voyage of discovery.
The Jew is essentially a lover of liberty, of freedom of thought and action, and is always ready to grant these rights to others. Small wonder, then, that the United States, the most vigorous exponent of freedom of all the nations of the earth, should have attracted to their shores a large body of men and women of Jewish nationality, seeking to escape from the oppression of old world tyranny.
The story of their experiences forms a unique chapter of national history - a brave narrative replete with help and inspiration for the struggling young men of our land.
Many of those whose biographies appear in this volume are unknown to fame in the commonly accepted sense of the term. Their activities have perhaps been confined to their own communities, and only their immediate families and intimate friends realize fully the bitterness of the cup of experience which their lips have touched.
However, in the life story of each one is found much that is worthy of perpetuation, much that has moulded the commercial and religious thought of their generation, and we offer this volume as a record and tribute to those men who have lived simply, nobly and without ostentation, that America and the Jewish race might maintain their dearest traditions of liberty, charity and equality among men.
"Advance, then, ye future generations. We would hail you as you rise in your long succession to fill the places which we now fill. We bid you welcome to this pleasant land of the fathers. We bid you welcome to the healthful skies and the verdant fields of our wonderful country. We greet your accession to the great inheritance which we have enjoyed."

EF Education First Shortlists Bidders for Chinese Unit
January 9, 2020 ICPE NEWS Latest
Private equity firms Hillhouse Capital and Warburg Pincus LLC are among suitors that have been invited to make second-round bids for EF Education First Inc.'s Chinese business, according to people familiar with the matter.
Permira Holdings LLP was also asked to submit second-round bids that are due later this month, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private. Education First now has a shortlist of about six bidders for the sale, which could fetch $1.5 billion to $2 billion, the people said.
Education companies are benefiting from Chinese parents who see fluency in foreign languages and academic excellence as an edge in the increasingly competitive job market. The nation's online education market reached 252 billion yuan ($36 billion) in revenue in 2018 and is projected to grow at least 16% annually in the next three to five years, according to iResearch Consulting Group.
EF Education First, founded by Swedish billionaire Bertil Hult in 1965, provides both classroom-based and online English language training to kids and adults across Asia and Europe, its website shows. The Lucerne, Switzerland-based company also offers educational tours and cultural exchange programs. It's one of the largest English-language training providers in China, with over 300 schools across 60 cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Deliberations are ongoing and the private equity firms could still decide against bidding for the asset, the people said. A representative for EF Education First said they do not comment on market speculation, while representatives for Permira and Warburg Pincus declined to comment. A representative for Hillhouse didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Playboy Playmate Says She's Too Hot To Go To The Doctor
by Sean Joseph January 13, 2023, 8:47 pm updated January 14, 2023, 8:30 am 1 Comment
Life as a smoking hot Playboy Playmate isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure there are perks to the job and being able to grow a large social media following can be very profitable. The days of the subscription-based model have taken those to new heights.
But what happens when the social media lights are off and a Playboy Playmate model is trying to live everyday life? For Austrian model Conny Hawk it's a constant battle. There's a seemingly nonstop line of guys shooting their shot. She claims to she's hit on as much as 20 times a day.
Playboy Playmate too hot to go to the doctor (Image Credit: Conny Hawk)
20 times a day is well over a hundred times a week. That's a crazy amount of times Conny is turning dudes down. It's surprising that she hasn't resorted to wearing armor and holding a shield to deflect all of the attention. Maybe a shirt or sign on her forehead that says "NO" would be the way to go.
Things are to the point that she says she can't even go to the doctor without some unwanted attention. The attention isn't coming from fellow patients either. The doctors can't help themselves in her presence.
She says she went to the hospital due to an allergic reaction and had to deal with a doctor shooting his shot. Conny said of the experience, "Once I had to go to hospital because I had an allergic reaction and the doctor treating me started hitting on me."
"My ears were super swollen and red, I looked awful. As he was flirting with me I was just thinking, 'Jeesh, how is this possible?'"
Playboy Playmates Play A Lot Of Defense
If the doctor was hoping she would return at a later date for checkup, even if she turned down his advances, then he was sadly mistaken. While she didn't file a complaint, she has no plans on ever returning to that doctor.
"I didn't end up complaining about the doctor but I definitely won't be going back there," she added.
It's hard out there for Playmates. Being too hot to go to the doctor isn't something you're likely told about when you decide to venture down the career path. Be normal people, do your creeping on social media.

Big 12 Oklahoma Big East Villanova
Whitmore sparks Villanova past Oklahoma in fantastic debut
By DAN GELSTON - Dec. 03, 2022 04:02 PM EST

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cam Whitmore only touched a basketball a few times over seven weeks because of a broken thumb that delayed the start of his career that already seemed set as a brief one at Villanova.
Once he got his shot, Whitmore used his size, athleticism and skill that made him one of the top recruits out of high school to spark a Wildcats team in sore need of his intangibles.
"Honestly, I'm shocked," coach Kyle Neptune said. "Normal human beings, they would have been just completely discombobulated."
Whitmore had seven points, three rebounds and three steals over 20 minutes in his debut and Caleb Daniels scored 22 points to lead Villanova to a 70-66 win over Oklahoma on Saturday in the first game with former Wildcats coach Jay Wright in the broadcast booth.
The intriguing cocktail of Whitmore's debut combined with Villanova's slow start and with Wright on hand as a broadcaster and the streaking Sooners in town easily made this college basketball's biggest attraction of the day.
Wright wore a headset on the CBS broadcast for both his broadcast debut and the first collegiate game for Whitmore, arguably his most prized recruit over his Hall of Fame coaching career. Wright never coached Whitmore following his stunning resignation in April after he won two national championships and took the Wildcats to the Final Four last season.
Wright yielded the program to Neptune -- his long-time assistant who returned to succeed Wright after one year as head coach at Fordham -- and the Wildcats stumbled early.
The Wildcats (3-5) lost four straight and had their worst seven-game start since 1991.
Villanova could have used Whitmore. He was a 2022 McDonald's All-American and the Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year and could become the program's first one-and-done player since Tim Thomas in 1997. Wright built a national power in the Philadelphia suburbs without a single player ever bolting for the NBA after one season. Most stayed for three or four, and Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges are among the scores of players who reaped the benefits of collegiate success and NBA riches. Both players also graduated.
Whitmore needed surgery on a broken right thumb suffered in an early October practice.
"I've been itching (to go) since the day I got hurt," Whitmore said.
The 6-foot-7, 232-pound forward had the crowd stirring from the moment he sat at the scorers table to check in early in the first half.
His thumb taped, Whitmore received a rousing ovation when he checked in at 14:18 and a step-back 3 for his first career bucket had the crowd of 17,079 going wild. Whitmore flashed his power and speed late in the half. He dribbled beyond the arc, skipped past two defenders, then bumped-and-blew past Jacob Groves for a twisting left-handed layup.
"That was love from Nova Nation," Whitmore said of the ovation. "Since the beginning, they've been building me up."
Oh, they're not the only ones.
Yes, he missed games. But as for his status as a can't-miss prospect? Well, that hasn't changed at all -- ESPN has him listed as the sixth-best available draft prospect and various draft boards still project him as an easy top-10 pick.
Whitmore shook off mild pain in the thumb and played like a future star at the home of the Philadelphia 76ers.
He played like someone who could get used to NBA arenas in a hurry.
"I'm in college now, so I'm worried about college now," he said. "Try to win a championship."
Grant Sherfield led the Sooners (6-2) with 21 points, and Jacob Groves and Tanner Groves each had 14.
Wright was back to his GQ Jay style in a suit after he shifted to casual wear because of the pandemic. The 60-year-old Wright made a cameo appearance on the broadcast and flawlessly called the Wildcats "they" or "them." Wright makes his debut as a game analyst Wednesday for the Penn-Villanova game on the CBS Sports Network.
Wright astutely noted after he was introduced at halftime Saturday, "Nova's got two freshmen out there to start the half which is rare for them."
Indeed, it was. He should know.
The Sooners, who saw their six-game winning streak end, built an early 11-point lead and were a handful all game until the Wildcats got hot down the stretch. Brandon Slater drove the paint for a bucket and a 62-61 Villanova lead and Daniels went inside for a tough basket for a three-point lead.
Oklahoma's Jalen Hill missed 1 of 2 free throws with 1:18 left and Daniels made the Sooners pay with a 3 that sealed the win.
"Daniels just makes you pay. I thought Daniels just made some veteran plays," OU coach Porter Moser said.
The Wildcats can only hope the first win with Whitmore gets them back on the path toward March success.

When I was a small child I lived for several years with my Step-Grandparents in rural Ohio. My "Grandpap" taught me to see the beauty in simple things like the wild tiger lilies in the fields, the call of the Bob White, an evening on the porch swing watching rabbits on the lawn. He encouraged my wandering in the countryside, wading in the "crick", catching minnows, sliding down hills, picking wild flowers. He sang songs to me that you don't hear anymore, that I haven't heard since. He's responsible for my eye for detail, my penchant for noticing the small things around me. After I moved to New Orleans at 21, I came to appreciate the beauty of historic architecture, how the lines and curves mimic shapes in nature. The details pleasure my eye; the stateliness of a portico, the weathered patina of wood and stucco, the intricacies of a wrought iron balustrade. Photography is an art that requires mindfulness, patience, and a slowness of living that's becoming rarer by the day. Beauty can be grand and majestic but it can be quiet and simple and easily overlooked. Every day is an opportunity to see the beauty around you.

Taking on privateers
Published Sat 7 Apr 2001
Fighting PFI
OVER 200 trade unionists met in London last weekend to discuss fighting the government's privatisation plans under PFI and PPP schemes. The conference was called by the Dudley health strikers, and was backed by the national executive of the RMT rail union, the health executive of the public sector UNISON union, and the London regional councils of the ASLEF, FBU, MSF and RMT unions.
Some 41 Dudley strikers, who finished their latest round of strike action against PFI on Monday of this week, came to the conference. Tony Benn MP said, "We need to get across that we are talking about the future of our society as well as the future of our hospitals, schools, tube and fire service. We want to run them for ourselves, for our benefit, and not just to be slaves to some multinational corporation."
RMT assistant general secretary Bob Crow went down a storm when he gave an enthusiastic report from last week's tube strike, and said: "I'm fed up of people who say we have to abide by the law. There is one law we know, and that's don't cross picket lines."
Dave Walton from the national executive of the Fire Brigades Union condemned the Labour government for betraying workers. As well as the Dudley strikers, a group of tube, council and health workers, and other campaigners came along to debate how to fight back. John Robson from the ASLEF-RMT joint trains council spoke of the importance of the union leadership being prepared to break the law.
Activists agreed that they should support the protests against the big business agenda of world leaders in Genoa this July.
DUDLEY health workers will start another three-week strike against the sell-off of their jobs to the private sector this Friday.
Little Plumstead
DOMESTIC workers at Little Plumstead Hospital in Norwich have won an improvement in pay and conditions after a 98 percent vote in favour of strike action. They have won concessions from private cleaning contractors ISS. The workers, members of the UNISON union, called off action scheduled for Wednesday after they were offered a 2.8 percent pay rise plus other improvements.
UNISON steward Barry Rodi said, "The mere threat of industrial action has forced management into a compromise. Imagine what we could have got if we'd actually struck."

Welcome to Newsom Acres! Cleanup Crews Find 3-Story "Condo" in CA Park
By Jennifer Van Laar | Jan 11, 2020 3:21 PM ET
Since California's "unhoused" people enjoy far more rights and privileges than Californians who work for a living, it's not surprising that the state's homeless encampments have leveled up. Instead of just pitching a tent on the street or in a local park, a few ambitious souls have started building their own shelters on public parkland in the San Fernando Valley.
Or, wait – should it be called a home? What a can of worms that would open, so… moving on.
During a scheduled cleanup of an area within the Sepulveda Basin where the area's homeless were known to lay their pillows, authorities came upon this three-story treehouse/condo/fixer-upper.
TREEHOUSE TEARDOWN: An impressive 3-story treehouse was discovered during the final phase of homeless encampment cleanups at the Sepulveda Basin https://t.co/qpiZee9YlL
— CBS Los Angeles (@CBSLA) January 10, 2020
With MacGyver skills like this, it's likely that whomever built the condo is the slumlord ruler of the encampment.
What a life. It's homesteading. It's the wild west. It's living off the grid, not having to pay for a permit or inspections or worry about silly things like zoning. That's for rule-following chumps. Nah, out here in the basin one can truly become a king or queen with just a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of muscle and intimidation. It's easy to picture a Billy Bob Thornton-type character on the second or third story, surveying their kingdom and keeping an eye out for troublemakers. Such a ruler would demand tributes and really, whatever else they want.
It's a safe bet that life as a woman in this encampment is no picnic.
Although major brush fires have been started by the Basin's residents, liberals are still crying their eyes out that these people have been forced to leave. One fire in October ruined air quality for two days and forced local schools to close.

— Ariella Plachta (@AriPlachta) October 24, 2019
The area is actually a wildlife reserve and the multiple brush fires started by the homeless residents are destroying wildlife and their habitat.
Interesting how all these liberals that claim to care about animals and wildlife don't care that fires started by the vagrants in Sepulveda that destroyed this wildlife….

The area is also a flood plain. During heavy rains even the streets in the area are flooded out.
The cleanup, that started at 8 a.m. Wednesday, is part of a four-phase public safety effort that began in August amid numerous brush fires, and most recently a flood rescue in the area.
Hazmat crews in full protective gear began clearing the area of the many encampments in what could be a days-long effort.
Sanitation officials said the 34-acres being targeted near Encino Creek are the most dangerous to live in because of flooding and thick woods. Because the area is designated as parkland, a dusk to dawn curfew can be enforced.
"There's no access or very limited access," said Howard Wong with L.A. Sanitation. "Everything is by foot or existing fire roads and trails."
During one brush fire in July, propane tanks in an encampment exploded threatening firefighters.
When the cleanups began, a grenade was found in another camp prompting the bomb squad to be called in.
The photos show the extensive environmental harm the homeless camp is causing.
After a number of large fires that put lives at risk, and a recent water rescue of a homeless man in the Sepulveda Basin on Christmas Day, @LACitySAN crews are moving forward with an extensive cleanup effort of the Sepulveda Basin focused on the 34 acres along Encino Creek. 1/5 pic.twitter.com/fmgNhICgEG
— Nury Martinez (@CD6Nury) January 9, 2020
But is the purpose simply altruistic? Could it also be happening now because the city's homeless count will occur in just a few weeks?
As hundreds of #SepulvedaBasin residents relocate to the neighboring council districts of @davideryu @PaulKrekorian @PaulKoretzCD5 @BobBlumenfield @MRodCD7 @CD12LA, how does this affect the integrity of the upcoming #HomelessCount on Jan 21-23? pic.twitter.com/ow2vLdWZJ5

Regardless of the timing, this cleanup clearly demonstrated what California's future looks like: Newsom Acres.

Punta Lara Sea Temperature
Looking to find out what the sea water temperature in Punta Lara is for today and the next few days? Below are data and charts that will give you information about sea temperatures in Punta Lara and nearby locations.
Water temperature in Punta Lara right now
Below is the current sea temperature for Punta Lara, Argentina on 30th January 2023.
25.35° C
(77.62° F)
yesterday: 25.72° C (78.29° F)
a week ago: 26.87° C (80.37° F)
This water temperature is comparable to that of a swimming pool, but it might be higher than most open water swimmers prefer for serious swimming. Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after swimming and don't wear a wetsuit to avoid overheating.
The average sea temperature for Punta Lara on January 30th over the last 10 years is 25.76° C (78.38° F), with a low temperature of 24.86° C (76.75° F) and a high of 27.62° C (81.72° F).
Analysis and forecast for Punta Lara water temperatures
The water temperature in Punta Lara today is lower than the average temperature of 25.76° C (78.38° F) and the temperature on this day last year, 30th January 2022, was 25.33° C (77.59° F).
The chart and table below shows the change in water temperature in Punta Lara over the last 30 days:
Temperature (Celsius)
Temperature (Fahrenheit)
25.35° C 77.62° F
26.5° C 79.7° F
26.28° C 79.3° F
25.4° C 77.72° F
The actual nearshore temperatures may vary by several degrees and this can also be heavily affected by weather. Strong winds can cause cold, deep waters to replace the surface waters that had been warmed by the sun, and heavy rain can also reduce the temperature of the sea surface temperature as well.
Water temperature in Punta Lara by month
The chart below shows the monthly average water temperature in Punta Lara.
For more detailed information on how the sea temperature in Punta Lara changes for each month of the year, choose from the months below.
Punta Lara map and nearby water temperatures
Locations near Punta Lara
Argentina, South America
Uruguay, South America
The highest temperature in Argentina today is 27.41° C (81.33° F) in Baradero. The lowest is in Isla de los Estados, where the temperature of the water is 8.29° C (46.92° F).
Why measure sea surface temperatures (SST) in Punta Lara?
The ocean covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and scientists record the sea surface temperature (SST) of locations such as Punta Lara because they want to understand and learn how the ocean communicates with the atomosphere of Earth.
SST is one measure that provides information on the global climate, and it can be used to predict the weather in Punta Lara as well as atmospheric model simulations and to study marine ecosystems in the area.
Data source and citation
Raw data for the calculations made to find the sea surface temperature in Punta Lara comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and their 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature.
The water temperature data is constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys, and Argo floats) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete sea surface temperature map is then built by interpolating to fill in gaps in the data.

I have loved this Psalm for a while now, I read it weeks ago and daily the Lord brings it to my mind. We serve an incredible God. In the midst of such a blessing of being pregnant, my health situation remains as a constant anchor for my eyes…to be fixed on Him. I have no choice. In my eyes it makes no sense why this blessing would come at such a time but in God's timing, regardless of my understanding, it is the perfect time. I have a choice every day to "make springs in the valley of Baca". When we suffer or are in pain, we can choose to not let the circumstances concern us and oh this is hard at times. But like this Psalm says, "the autumn springs will come and cover, what once was a dessert, with pools of living water." I was reading in Oswald Chambers "My Upmost for His Highest" (which I love), and he made a statement that has really stuck with me. "Showing no concern for the uncertainties that lie ahead is the secret of walking with Jesus." Real, authentic, total surrender to our first love, regardless of the valley - sometimes its a feeling but sometimes its simply a choice.
and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem.
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
from those who do what is right.
what joy for those who trust in you.
i love this. thanks for the encouragement!
I went to your website from the link on your sister's website. I appreciate reading your story and your thoughts. Thank you for your honesty and the way you describe what goes on in your relationship with God. I didn't read everything but there is such a theme of God being glorified throughout your entries. I feel like reading this points me to Him.
AND I praise God with you that you are pregnant! After having a miscarriage my first pregnancy I also wrestled the second time with when to tell and God led me in a similar direction, teaching me that new life is so precious and to be rejoiced in and cherished from the moment we know! Praise God for the new life in you! May God hold this little one safe.

After last year's success, Chilham Castle, in association with Canterbury Festival, welcomes back Shakespeare's Globe on Tour to its beautiful castle grounds.
Brendan O'Hea is directing a trio of The Bard's great plays , from 17 to 19 May, all of which explore the themes of refuge and displacement.
Pericles, The Comedy of Errors and Twelfth Night will be performed across three days, with both matinee and evening performances, in the same style as a touring production would have been staged in the 17th century, with a stripped-back booth stage and a small, highly versatile troupe of actors.
The cast will not only be taking on multiple roles across all three plays, but also playing musical instruments. The players will unravel these three timeless tales of those who have crossed seas and lost their families, are seeking lost homes, and finding out what belonging truly means to them – themes that are effortlessly relatable within today's troubled society.
A new development for this year is that, for the first time ever, Chilham Castle is hosting glamping in conjunction with Events Under Canvas to provide an extra-special element to your Shakespeare weekend.
So, when you're not watching the performances, you can relax in a fully equipped bell tent, with the Castle as your backdrop, enjoy an exclusive tipi bar, street food and log fires in this quintessential Kentish setting.
With sold-out performances last year, you won't want to miss out. Buy tickets from £10 per performance at: www.shakespearesglobe.com. Or enjoy VIP access including a Champagne and canapé reception in the Castle's Great Hall for £50.

Chilham Castle, Chilham, nr Canterbury CT4 8DB
Take one pair of estranged twin brothers (both named Antipholus) and one pair of estranged twin servants (both named Dromio), both pairs separated at sea. Add a dash of mistaken identity and throw them into a city with a reputation for sorcery, and you have all the ingredients for theatrical chaos…
The spirit of fairy tale is never far from the surface of Pericles, the first of Shakespeare's late romances. Imbued with music, miracles and the constant presence of the sea, this rarely performed work sees Pericles, Prince of Tyre, forced to flee his kingdom and wander the world.
Twelfth Night
When a shipwreck tears a family apart, twins Sebastian and Viola seek refuge in a new land. Filled with memorable characters, this perennial favourite combines cruelty with high comedy and the pangs of unrequited love with subtle poetry, expressed through some of Shakespeare's most exquisite songs.
Interview with director Brendan O'Hea
Why is Chilham the first stop on your tour?
We love opening the show in Kent. The castle isn't too far from The Globe, so we run our technical rehearsals during the week so that if we need to grab something from our London store or need someone to support us last minute, it isn't too far for them to dash down and help.
What do you all like about performing here?
The weather, the scenery, the beautiful backdrop of the castle and the great audiences.
How many venues in the UK are you performing at?
We will be performing in Bangor in Wales, the Minack in Porthcurno, in Brighton and in Oxford. We are also going out to Europe, the US and Asia. The tour offers a huge diverse experience for our actors who will be travelling all summer.
Will you get time to explore?
I love Canterbury and Whitstable. I have friends there, and will find any excuse to return.
Why these particular plays?
Shakespeare is one of the greatest humanitarian writers and we are so privileged to have him as our resident writer at The Globe.
Although the three plays are unique in tone, they all explore shipwrecked characters lost at sea who are forced to find refuge in a new country.
It therefore felt appropriate to assemble a company of international artists who are able to bring their own voices and unique experiences to the work. At a time when the world seems to be fracturing rather than uniting, we couldn't think of a better time or better plays to respond to the importance of refuge, belonging and our common humanity.
The tour will also be returning to The Globe during our refugee week festival in June and these three plays felt like the perfect fit.
Will you be including the audience choice element?
The audience choice element has been hugely popular across the touring venues, but the feedback from last year in Chilham was that audiences wanted to choose in advance, so we decided to fix the schedule. We will be offering Pericles on Friday night and Comedy of Errors and Twelfth Night on Saturday and Sunday.
Why are you directing The Globe on Tour again?
I love being around good words, and I love the challenge of directing three plays with a small company of actors.
It forces me to be simple and clear with the storytelling. I don't miss acting at all; I was an actor for 30 years. I enjoy directing as I get to learn about the technical side of putting on plays.
Are this year's actors all new to you?
I taught Andrius when he was at drama school, but apart from that, they're all new.
Touring takes a particular talent. You need to be robust, talented, resourceful, playful, passionate about Shakespeare, open and kind. And ideally, play a musical instrument. I think I've struck gold with this company.

Home News and Blog How wheelchair accessible is London?
How wheelchair accessible is London?
The lengths to which various establishments and premises in London go to facilitate accessibility to people with disabilities vary across the city. While it's true that more and more establishments are making an effort to make it easier for people with disability (especially those using wheelchairs) to easily move within them, there's still room for improvement in the transport sector.
It should be stated, though, that a large percentage of London is now accessible to disabled individuals in various ways.
The majority of railway stations in the city now have wider ticketing gates in order to accommodate individuals who are either using wheelchairs or guide dogs. The easy accessibility is also improved by the floor of the train being placed strategically a step below street level in order to make alighting from the mobility car all the way to the train as easy as possible.
In addition to structural enhancements, the staff personnel at railway stations are always ready to help by providing alternative solutions in scenarios where the existing solutions don't work.
Buses in the city also have priority seats as well ramps to make it easier for individuals in wheelchairs to board them. The goal is to make sure people with disability are able to move around the city safely and comfortably.
Restaurants are finding themselves in a situation where they have to make their establishments more wheelchair-accessible given the fact that a number of sites have cropped up online which review restaurants based on their wheelchair accessibility. Such websites also serve to help inhabitants of and visitors to London who have disabilities, to figure out the most wheelchair accessible restaurants in their area.
All piers across London are easily accessible to individuals in wheelchairs as well as other means of transportation that may make travel difficult. All piers have mechanisms for easy movement from the pier to the boat and vice versa. Nevertheless, it's important to make prior inquiries regarding whether a pier possesses such capabilities before making the trip.
People with disabilities can obtain a blue badge which allows them to be beneficiaries of a scheme that enables them to get preferential treatment when it comes to parking. This will ensure their mobility around the city is easier. This is a map that shows you for free, where in the world, disabled persons' (Blue Badge) parking spaces exist.
While London taxis won't offer all the convenience that comes with a mobility car, all licensed taxis are wheelchair accessible. It is a lot easier to move around London with your own vehicle, than using the taxis. As mentioned earlier, London has quite a lot parking slots for people with disabilities, that it makes it so much easier and accessible. Why not visit London with your car instead then?
Disabled individuals who are visiting London for the first time should take the time to conduct thorough research on sites that will enable to plan their movement during the trip in line with the most wheelchair-accessible areas.

Tara Collette
From my perspective postmodern art has really taken a turn away from classical roots and taken a new form in 'Parody Art' that is now truly based in modern politics. It's always been there, but now Hollywood has taken its grips and it has become more widely accepted and popularised. With work from Hayden Kays, Magda Archer and Rachel House artistically documenting the mood of the population through politically charged images and words it's easy for people to jump on them and agree and support that sort of work. Tara works within these parameters of 'Parody Art' but more in a nostalgic way that makes you smile rather than exclaiming 'ACAB!'
Tara Collette is a Manchester artist currently based Islington Mill, who is still firmly grounded in her Boltonian roots. Her work began as a graphic design student at The University of Salford, however "part of me was seeing people just on computers, so I made a list of 40 different ways to display work and got into textiles, so started making banners."
"My first banner said 'There's more to life than risograph and GF Smith' and it's huge, it's the biggest one I've ever done. Then the second said 'Fuck the grade' and I kept making some more, then I made a thousand!
My work is really about me and my own experiences. One of my early pieces was the Greggs logo and I did that because I worked there. The Lidl one was a collaboration and who I was working with shopped at Lidl! All of them have a link to me somewhere in some way, shape or form."
Tara has really shot to fame after the recreation of the classic posters 'Toys, Poppers, Potions, Pills' and 'DVD's, Poppers, Pills and Contacts' from the Hanky Panky Adult Shop in the Northern Quarter. They have really become an iconic image of Manchester, but do people recognise the original or Tara's version?
"I went in to try and find out more buy the guy in there but he wasn't very hospitable and was pressuring us to buy stuff, there were some cool posters inside but I was too nervous to take any photos. Oh well, it's not copyrighted!
I do know that after I made about 10 banners of the poster, the original got robbed, so now I am the original!"
Tara has been a resident at Islington Mill since the summer of 2017 and has done so much work and collaboration with loads of different artists like Hannah Whitlow, David Bailey, VTS Design, and Furious Pie that have seen some great results. She has also had great commissions from around the city from the likes of The People's History Museum, Office Of Craig, HOME, Design Manchester, Fika Hair, Instruct, Uskees Clothing, Sken Studios and so many more! Alongside this she has been part of many exhibitions across the country from the Mr Freeze exhibition in 2017, the British Textile Biennial in 2019 and to The Castlefield Gallery this year. All this together has really propelled her to the forefront of creative textiles in Manchester.
Before lockdown started Tara was working in a neon light shop and fell in love with glass. So she spent the year learning how to work with glass and making things out of that new medium. "Last night I was designing an Oatly bottle, but putting just Oat on it so I can't get done. But I used that same stained glass style for that piece. I've now bought a snazzy machine and I'm making honeycombs, hearts and nice bits and really just learning how to solder properly! I've been making so many of the Pills-Poppers image that I'm asking my studio mate to help, but I just wanna do something else."
So let's hope that we see new forms of work from Tara coming up in the future, whether it be in glass format or by smashing out all the classics! Check out all her work here!

2002 Maryland Basketball
The Terps' magical season
The road to the National Championship
Beating Duke in the National Championship
The Terps' post-National Championship season
The Terps' post-national championship seasons
The Terps' post-National Championship years
The Terps' post-National Championship era
The Terps' post-National Championship decade
The 2002 Maryland basketball team was led by the likes of Juan Dixon, Steve Blake and Greivis Vasquez They were ranked in the top 10 for most of the season before losing to North Carolina in the ACC tournament final. Their success is a testament to how far basketball has come in just one decade.
In 2002, Maryland played in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship They were led by a team that included future NBA players like Juan Dixon and Steve Blake.
The Terps' magical season started with a victory over then-ranked#3 Florida in the second game of the season. It would be one of Maryland's 13 victories over a ranked opponent that year. The Terps went on to win the ACC regular season title by two games, with a 12-4 conference record. The team's only losses in the regular season came at the hands of ranked Duke and UNC squads, and to unranked George Mason
In the ACC Tournament Maryland won four games in four days, including a come-from-behind overtime victory against Wake Forest in the Championship game The Terps entered the NCAA tournament as a #1 seed, and won their first three tournament games by an average of 19 points.
In 2002, the mens Basketball team at the University of Maryland won the National Championship The team, led by Head Coach Gary Williams had a stellar season, with a record of 32-4. The Terrapins were ranked #1 in the nation for most of the season and won their first ever ACC Regular Season championship. They also won the ACC tournament and made it to the Final Four for the first time in school history. Marylands road to the National Championship was not an easy one, as they had to face some tough opponents along the way. However, they persevered and emerged victorious in one of the most exciting basketball seasons in recent memory.
On April 1, 2002, the Terrapins played the Duke Blue Devils in the National Championship game. Maryland had a roster full of future NBA players including Steve Blake, Juan Dixon, Lonny Baxter, and Chris Wilcox. They were coached by Gary Williams, who led the team to a 32-4 record that season.
The Terrapins were heavy favorites going into the game, but Duke was no pushover. They had won the National Championship the year before, and their roster was dotted with future NBA players as well. The game was close throughout, but Maryland pulled away in the end to win by a score of 86-80.
It was a sweet victory for Maryland, not only because they won the National Championship but because they did it by beating their biggest rival. Duke and Maryland have one of the most heated rivalries in all of college basketball and Maryland fans will always remember the time their team beat Duke on the biggest stage.
After winning the National Championship in 2002, the Maryland Terrapins entered the following season with high expectations. The team finished the regular season with a 28-4 record and won both the ACC Regular Season and tournament titles. Maryland then went on to lose to Indiana in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament
After winning the National Championship in 2002, the Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team continued to have success in the following seasons. The Terps made it to the Sweet Sixteen in 2003 and the elite eight in 2004. The team's leading scorer in 2003 was Juan Dixon, who would go on to play Professional Basketball In 2004, the Terps' leading scorer was again Dixon, but their second leading scorer was Steve Blake, who would also have a successful professional career.
In 2002, the Terps completed a perfect season with a win over Indiana in the National Championship Game The Terps were led by seniors Juan Dixon and Lonny Baxter, who would both go on to have long NBA careers The following season, the Terps would again make it to the Final Four, this time losing to Kansas in the semifinal round.
The Terps would make it back to the NCAA tournament in 2004 and 2005, but failed to make it past the first weekend either year. In 2006, Maryland hired new head coach Gary Williams, who would lead the Terps back to prominence. In his first season, Williams led Maryland to a 22-10 record and a berth in the NCAA tournament
In Williams' second season, the Terps would again make it to the NCAA tournament this time making it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen before falling to Ohio State The 2007-08 season saw Maryland make it back to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, but once again they were unable to get past the first weekend.
The 2008-09 season was one of transition for Maryland as they said goodbye to seniors Greivis Vasquez and Eric Hayes, who had been pivotal players during their time at Maryland. The Terps also lost freshman star Ekene Ibekwe early in the season when he decided to turn pro. Despite these losses, Maryland still managed to put together a solid season, finishing with a 21-13 record and another trip to the NCAA Tournament
In 2009-10, Maryland finally broke through and made it back to the Final Four for the first time since 2003. The Terps were led by junior guard Greivis Vasquez, who was named an All-American after averaging 19 points per game Maryland's run came to an end in the semifinals when they lost to eventual National Champion Duke.
The following season was one of disappointment for Maryland as they failed to make it backto
It had been a full five years since the Terps had last won a National Championship In the 2002 Basketball season Maryland finished with a record of 17-11, 8-8 in the ACC. Their season was highlighted by a win over then No.[1] Duke, as well as strong showings against other ACC rivals. The Terps did not make it to the NCAA tournament that year, but they did make it to the NIT where they lost in the first round.
The team was led by senior point guard Steve Blake, who set Maryland's all-time assists record that year. He was joined in the backcourt by freshmen Chris McCray and John Gilchrist. The frontcourt consisted of seniors Tahj Holden and Byron Mouton, as well as junior Nik Caner-Medley. Caner-Medley led the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 14 points and 6 rebounds per game
Looking back, the 2002 season was considered a disappointment by many Maryland fans. However, it would lay the foundation for one of the most successful stretches in Maryland Basketball history.
After winning the national championship in 2002, the Maryland Terrapins men's Basketball team entered a period of transition. Gary Williams, who had coached the Terps to their only national title in school history, retired in 2011. He was succeeded by Assistant Coach Mark Turgeon
The Terps struggled during Turgeon's first few seasons, failing to make the NCAA Tournament However, the team began to improve in 2015, led by freshman point guard Melo Trimble. The Terps won 28 games that season and made it to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament before losing toKansas.
In 2016, the Terps won their first outright Big Ten regular season title since 2002 and made it back to the NCAA tournament They lost in the Round of 32 to eventual national champion Villanova.
The 2017 season was even more successful for Maryland. The Terps won their second straight Big Ten regular season title and made it all the way to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament before losing to eventual national champion North Carolina
Prior to the 2002 NCAA National Championship game, the Maryland Terrapins had never won a national title in men's basketball. They had come close in recent years losing to Duke in the final game of the ACC tournament in 2001 and again in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament in 2000. But those teams were led by seniors Juan Dixon and Terence Morris, respectively, and it was widely assumed that Maryland would take a Step Back after they graduated.
In 2002, however, the Terps shocked everyone by winning the national championship Led by sophomore point guard Steve Blake and junior Power Forward Lonny Baxter, Maryland defeated Indiana 64-52 to win their first ever NCAA title.
The Terps followed up their championship season with another strong campaign in 2003, going 25-11 and reaching the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament But they would never again reach the heights of their 2002 season, as they failed to make it back to the Final Four during the decade.
Rivalries:
Duke Blue Devils – The Duke-Maryland rivalry is one of the most intense in all of college basketball The two schools are located just eight miles apart, and both have highly successful programs. Duke has traditionally been one of the top teams in the country, while Maryland has been a perennial ACC power.
The rivalry reached its peak during Maryland's 2002 National Championship season, when Duke defeated them twice once in the Regular season and again in the ACC tournament final. The Terps got revenge by beating Duke in the 2003 ACC tournament semifinals, but then lost to them again in 2004 and 2005.
After winning the national championship in 2002, the Terps men's basketball team entered a bit of a slump. They failed to make it to the NCAA Tournament in 3 of the next 5 years, with their only appearance being a first round loss in 2006. In the meantime, they did win 1 ACC Championship, in 2004. However, they lost in the first round of that tournament as well. The Terps' biggest rivals during these years were the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tar Heels
The 2007-2008 season was a ray of hope for Maryland fans, as the Terps made it back to the NCAA tournament and even made it to the sweet sixteen. However, they lost to eventual National Champion, Kansas Jayhawks The following year was another rough one for Maryland, as they failed to make the tournament yet again.
However, under new Head Coach Gary Williams, the Terrapins would return to prominence. Led by ACC player of the year Greivis Vasquez, Maryland won its second ACC Championship in 2010 and made it all the way to the Elite Eight before losing to eventual National Champion Duke Blue Devils The 2010-2011 season saw Maryland once again become a top team in College Basketball as they won their second straight ACC Championship and made it back to the NCAA tournament
The "2001 maryland basketball" is a game that took place on February 20, 2002. Maryland was playing against Duke and won the game by a score of 79-78.
