by Evan Morrison. 21 April 2010.
Two weeks ago a trip to Miami was not even on my radar. Then out of the blue an old college friend (both roommate and swim team-mate) emailed me about doing a relay for the Swim Around Key West. Sadly I had another commitment that weekend, but out of curiosity I went Googling for other races in South Florida (he lives in Miami) and - lo and behold - there's a race in Miami April 17th!
Catch up with old roomie and his family? Escape from Ohio in April? Start my O.W. season 6 weeks earlier than planned? It was a no-brainer. The Nike Swim Miami was my first 10K, and it was… a useful learning experience. After a breakthrough 5K last fall at Big Shoulders in Chicago, followed by 7 months of solid training, I thought I had a reasonable chance to put down a decent time. 2:10, maybe? 2:15?
Alas, I didn't come close to either of those times. 10K is twice as far as 5K, of course - but that wasn't really the issue. I didn't even put together a decent first 5K. Actually, I fell off the pace before I was halfway around the first 2500m loop. So what happened?
In a (theoretically) protected nook of the Biscayne Bay with a direct view of the downtown skyline, the Miami Marine Stadium lends itself perfectly to Beijing-style 2.5K loop.
There was a small cordoned-off warm-up area about the size of a standard Olympic pool, and I swam a few "laps." The water was comfortable (mid-70s) but so murky that I couldn't see my own hand pulling beneath me. I noticed Eva Fabian and her brother warming up next to me. The big guns would be out in force today, as I'd soon find out.
Funny thing about the "Marine Stadium" as a venue - the structure itself is in a state of total disrepair; I wouldn't be surprised if it's condemned (see here for some photos). An adjacent sandy beach and grass field served as the registration / vending / race briefing / spectator area.
"Where the hell is the finish?!"
One downside to the Marine Stadium's semi-isolation from the Atlantic was the water quality. As the basin is closed in on three sides, it's isolated from the typical flow of water generated by ocean currents. As a result, the water visibility was near zero. This is a problem if, like me, you use people in front of you to help navigate.
Got smoked at the start by the National Teamers. There were five of them, plus a Brazilian '08 Olympian and 2-3 others in that ballpark. Tried to keep up (stupidly) and catch someone's draft, but they were out of sight soon enough. Inevitably, halfway around the first loop I was huffing and puffing and getting passed by Masters swimmers.
Swam by myself for most of the final 8K. Didn't have any feet to follow, and the sighting (which I hadn't practiced over the winter) tired me further. Got confused by a couple rogue buoys and stray boat (!) on the back stretch of the course… probably swam an extra 500-600m over 4 laps. "Feeding station" consisted of volunteers handing out tiny cough syrup-sized cups of water and energy drink. Had to take about 10 (1 or 2 at a time) to get even a minimal feed. Unless, of course, you had a coach to hand you custom feeds (not me).
Small but vicious chop on the final 500m of each loop… swallowed a bunch of seawater… the last 7.5K was basically one long "dark phase." But I finished. 2 hours, 34 minutes, 15 seconds. Pace per 100m of 1:32 - 19 seconds/100 slower than my Big Shoulders pace! 27th overall; 2nd among Men 30-34.
Live to fight another day, I guess.
Don't drink the saltwater, huh? It's probably a lot less damaging than all the chlorinated water I am certain to have inadvertently sucked down over the years. Awesome job anyway. Lessons learned the hard way are the ones that really stick. I see you are going to be in my state in July. If you make it out to the beach, let me know.
Be glad for the chlorine. Remember those summer afternoon practices at LB after rec swim? Eww... I wish I had a couple extra days to get out to Norfolk. For most of the races this summer, I fly in in the afternoon before, swim in the morning, and fly out the same afternoon. It just gets way too expensive otherwise. Thanks for the comment - I think it's the first one ever!
pre-hydrating works too. I usually drink a bottle of gatorade am (because it's the only one that comes in mango) within the last half hour before a race. that way I have stores. at least you knew not to try to eat gummi bears while swimming.
Yeah... I was drinking all morning. The saltwater really messed me up, I guess. Perhaps the secret is... mango gatorade.
Images of the cloudy post-rec swim murkiness will forever haunt me... P.S. I hear that some Virginian backstroker wins Cables every year. I am sensing a duel. Make us Californians proud.
I think I know the guy you mean; he's an incredible swimmer. After that field in Miami, though, I'll take Masters swimmers any day!

Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum: Michigan laws for overseas military voters need to change so ALL votes are counted
The following editorial essay was written by Ingham County Clerk and former State Representative Barb Byrum. Enjoy.
Administering elections is a fascinating job, and one that I take very seriously. Like Michigan's other 82 county clerks, I'm focused on providing reliable, secure, and hassle-free voting for all U.S. citizens, including military and overseas voters who face unique challenges in exercising their right to vote. Therefore, when several county clerks from around Michigan had the opportunity to meet with the Michigan Secretary of State's Bureau of Elections recently, we expressed our concerns about many Military and Overseas voted ballots not being counted.
Over 30 years ago, the federal government passed the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which allowed for special registration and absentee voting (AV) provisions for military and overseas civilians. The law included the use of a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), which allowed UOCAVA citizens to register to vote and request an absentee ballot. The FPCA can be submitted by mail, email, or fax directly to the voter's election official, the county clerk. However, in Michigan, the voted ballot must be physically received via mail by the close of the polls to be tabulated.
Military and Overseas Voters are often referred to as "MOVE" voters since the federal Military and Overseas Empowerment Act was enacted in 2009. This law and corresponding state legislation expanded UOCAVA by further allowing a UOCAVA voter to submit one AV application and to receive ballots for all the elections for the whole calendar year via email or fax.
The concern, however, is that many MOVE voter ballots are received after polls close, and under Michigan law, they cannot be tabulated. The Michigan Secretary of State may extend the receipt deadline for protected voters. In the November 2016 General Election, unfortunately, this did not happen, effectively disenfranchising many of the military service men and women and other civilians abroad.
Because of the challenges of delivering ballots to MOVE voters in a timely fashion, Michigan Election Law allows for those voters to have their ballots sent via email. However, the voter must then print and vote the paper ballot and mail it back to their local election official. The ballot must be received by the clerk by 8 pm on Election Day. On Election Day, the mailed ballot will then be duplicated onto an actual ballot by two poll workers (one democrat and one republican) for the purposes of feeding that ballot through the tabulator and having it counted like all other ballots. Michigan Election Law does not allow for MOVE voters to return their ballot by any other means.
Many other states allow for the late return of military and overseas voted ballots. Michigan, unfortunately, does not. Our MOVE voters need a way to know their votes are counted. Therefore, I strongly believe that we must expand our ballot acceptance guidelines to allow for electronic (fax or email) return of MOVE ballots.
This proposal would still comply with Michigan's paper ballot security best practices and allow for recount and election audits.
Because our military service members and citizens abroad deserve better, I look forward to working with the Michigan Secretary of State, Legislature and Governor's Office to correct this injustice. I also encourage readers to contact their elected officials in support of our MOVE voters and the expansion of ballot acceptance guidelines for these voters.

To make the green peppercorn bordelaise sauce, combine the demi-glaze, tomato puree, and peppercorns in a small sauce pan and simmer over low heat.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Season the tenderloin filets with salt and pepper and wrap them with the bacon, securing with wooden skewer. For best results, soak the skewer in water for 20 minutes prior to use to prevent burning. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, until medium rare, and transfer to an oven-proof tray or platter. Top each steak with half of the cheese and place briefly under the broiler and remove once cheese begins to melt and brown slightly. Transfer the steaks to plates and drizzle with the peppercorn sauce.
Serve with grilled asparagus and a glass of hearty red wine such as a cabernet sauvignon or French Bordeaux.

It has two other LNG developments on its books a 5-mtpa plant at Vladivostok that could be on line by 2018 and could expand to 10 mtpa in the 2020s; and the 10 mtpa Baltic LNG project that could be producing in 2018. It produces beautiful silky 3-4 inch brilliant blue flowers that shade garden enthusiasts really love. The straightforward approach to essential techniques, together with advice on tackling pests and other problems and the directory of recommended species will ensure successful results.
Hesitant at first, Homer soon finds himself single-handedly raising the chapel and the financing.
We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. Panicker submitted that it was mandatory for units with more than 10 workers and engaged in continuous processing, manufacturing, and distribution of any product to come within the ambit of the Act. The Promoter, its sponsor, or promotional partner are not responsible for the safe arrival of a prize or prize certificate. The next day, while inaugurating a road while Scioli stood at her side, she said: "We could have saved so much time if (the opposition) had realized just a little sooner" the value of the policies. Inother words, theCentral Bank is revving up tomanage acontrolled, slow-moving devaluation ofthe ruble that will soften theblow ofan external crisis andpreserve Russia's hard currency reserves: If Greece has acontrolled default, Russia will respond with acontrolled devaluation. Since then, the Philippines has obstinately pushed for the above-mentioned arbitration proceedings despite repeated objections of China. Here's an idea for MBC, start collecting the rates from those that don't pay rather than hammering the ones that do pay. Phelps then asked Hektoen if he would take a Snapchat selfie, according to the criminal complaint.
A Republican rewrite without Democratic input will not inspire broad confidence that elected representatives will put the public's interest over their own or those of special interests financing their campaigns. In addition, 16 of the 33 Senate seats are up in the November election under the new legislative districts more favorable for Republicans, meaning their party could pick up enough seats to regain the majority. In May-June last year, a Chinese naval task force held military exercises with Cameroon and Nigeria, the first time that the Chinese navy appeared in the west coast of Africa. The world of El Shaddai ' is mesmerizing and beautiful and an amazing place to escape for hours. Another product is an antibiotic foam for treatment of Impetigo, an infectious disease, which is due to begin a Phase III trial after talks with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Although they are known to thrive in the Pacific Northwest, they are worth a try anywhere that Rhododendrons grow, as the Himalayan Blue Poppy has very similar needs. Ferry-Morse Seed Company offers gardener's over 350 varieties of flower, vegetable, and herb seed. Then those hands--and their owners, Barbra Streisand and 15-year-old look-alike and singing sensation Lauren Frost--ascend a flight of stairs that leads (sestively, at least) to destiny itself. But although hewill not receive a monetary reward, Homer knows that when his work is done, he'll leave that dusty desert town a much better place than when he found it. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
He alleged that the unit processes used syringes and gloves and transports them to Coimbatore to be sold to medical equipment manufacturing units without proper licence from the DFB. The decision to federate the country into six provinces with tentative demarcation of borders sparked protests in various parts of the country. It's a quiet performance yet so assured that it takes you mere seconds to learn to read his silences. Reid Ribble, a Wisconsin Republican, and his Democratic colleague in the House, Jim Cooper of Tennessee, unveiled a pair of bills back in March that got little notice but could go a long way to making the nation's reapportionment process less partisan. Shapcott is one of the world's leading researchers on how to effectively market to, and teach, women the game of golf.
During this learning theme the children will explore the concepts of what is snow and how do arctic animals, like polar bears, walruses, and penguins keep warm in their cold homes? On another note perhaps Mallon might reflect on the cost of investigations into his behaviour that of his ex-colleagues that cost the town a fortune under Lancet! It is the second largest town in North Sinai and the only major population centre remaining in the restive corner of the peninsula, which borders the Gaza Strip and Israel. Three people were killed and over half a dozen injured in violence that broke out in Surkhet district in mid-western Nepal.
At the end of the month on Friday, January 31 we will end the theme with a Hibernation Pajama party. Cadmium Yellow, for instance, is made from the compound of cadmium zinc sulfide, and calcined iron oxide is the chemical name for Burnt Sienna. Tea made of about an ounce of seed to a pint of boiling water and taken with lemon juice and a little honey is often recommended for colds and coughs. The renowned actor is highly entertaining in his combative exchanges with Lilia Skala, playing a Mother Superior who survived Hitler and makes no bones about bullying the goodhearted, itinerant worker into doing more and more for her. Present at the conference were Prime Minister Sushil Koirala, CPN-UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal, UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and MJF-L chairman Bijayakumar Gachhadar. Chaque ann e, les Pays-Bas consacrent plusieurs millions d euros au financement, direct ou indirect, d organisations dont le seul objectif est la diabolisation d Isra l. The children will wear their PJ's to school and bring along their favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal for hands on activities exploring how animals hibernate for the Winter. A way to determine whether a tube of paint contains a genuine color is to look for the ASTM designation (usually on the back of the tube, and occasionally on the face). We are unable to offer a price adjustment on items originally purchased in a sale or on any special promotion items that are temporarily reduced in price.
The film has an ambling, easygoing style with several memorable moments, not least of all is Poitier leading his holy hostesses through verses of the gospel song "Amen." Lilies is directed by the late Ralph Nelson, a pioneering director of live television who also made a number of popular feature films with notable performances (Jackie Gleason in Requiem for a Heavyweight, Cary Grant in Father Goose, Cliff Robertson in Charly) in the 1960s and 1970s. Our comforters come in many sizes, including king comforters, queen comforters, and even California King comforter sets. L ambassade isra lienne La Haye et le ministre des Affaires trang res doivent exiger un arr t imm diat de cette campagne subversive et diffamatoire. The children can hardly wait for it. At Art Time the children took handfuls of artificial snow and piled it high on to their collages to make fur to keep their paper polar bears nice and warm. If there is a single ASTM number, the paint is made from a genuine pigment of a single substance. However, even though temperamental, difficult and troublesome, this is a plant worth trying. Who else but Streisand could still pull off such an audacious moment of sentimental psychodrama, the way that only a true star could? Once an item has been purchased at a discounted sale price, no price adjustment will be offered should the item be further marked-down.
We've included everything you need to make over your bedroom such as comforter, pillow shams, and bed skirts. If you find more than one ASTM number, it means several different pigments were combined to make the paint and it is not a genuine color.A An ASTM designation starts with the letter "P" for pigment, followed by a letter or set of letters for the color group, such as "Y" for yellow or "Br" meaning brown, and then a one to three digit number for the specific color. Not only will you be rewarded by the fantastic flowers, but you will be the envy of every green-fingered friend in your neck of the woods. Yet nestled within the autobiographical meringue of the legendary singer's Millennium's-End concert, performed at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on December 31, 1999, that scene--and many other such self-referential moments reliving the sundry chapters of Streisand's life and career--is quite moving in its laid-bare honesty. We practiced Ll letter recognition, phonics, and words that begin with L like lion, lamb, and lollipop. A fuller experience than listening to the double CD of the concert, this video record of a magical night (does anyone remember our collective Y2K anxieties that New Year's Eve?) provides the most bang for the buck when it comes to reliving all those special scenes: surprise guest appearances (Barry Gibb, Bryan Adams, Neil Diamond, and Streisand's son, Jason Gould), duets with Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra (via video footage, of course), an appearance by dance master Savion Glover as Brother Time, a humorous bit with Shirley MacLaine, and several collaborations with Frost. The children love looking forward to Movie Fridays each week so we thought we would start another day theme they could look forward to but this one would have an academic focus. If Timeless: Live from the MGM Grand was indeed, as Streisand claimed, the first step of a short farewell tour that ended in early 2000, it was the perfect way to exit the stage forever. On Math Mondays the children will explore math concepts through books, flash cards, songs, and activities centered around counting, shapes, patterns, colors, and number recognition.
Kings Blue, for instance, is just Zinc White (PW1) or Titanium White (PW6) plus Cobalt (PB36) or French Ultramarine Blue (PB29), yet it saves the landscape painter much time by not having to mix it on the palette each time she needs a sky color.A Some convenience colors are intended to replace an obsolete but useful pigment. A My second week at the course I got in early and became bored while waiting for my homeboys. For instance, the production of genuine Indian Yellow is now barred by law, so today producers create alternatives from mixtures of other colors.A imitationLike a convenience color, an a€?imitationa€? is a mixture, one that allows the manufacturer to offer an inexpensive alternative to a costly color. Also like a convenience color, properly labeled imitations are identified with two or more ASTM numbers. A My teammates and coaches were often challenged by my "Just give me the ball and get the hell out of my way" attitude.
A I was not the best athlete on the field or on the court, but I thought I was.A When the game was on the line I wanted the ball in my hands. Some of the things we will be counting are coins, unifix cubes, blocks, and anything else that catches their attention. So if you hear your child laughing and counting in a funny voice it is because the Count from Sesame Street is working his magic to make math fun. We are also reaffirming the children's color and shape skills and moving on to more complex geometric shapes. We are matching up the color with it's written word so the children will recognize not only the color but the spelling of the word as we move toward reading. A A It was a hot evening and the constant in and out of the woods was not a pleasant undertaking. We did not know we had so many penguins in the daycare until the children rounded them up to count them. After counting penguins we started talking about where they live, what they eat, and the many different penguin types. What I thought would be a nine-hole outing turned into eighteen holes and a White House visit and a Presidential appointment in 1969.
One of the activities this week was working on the big wooden floor puzzle of the United States that Ralphie brought on New Toy Day. General William Rogers, Hattie, President Nixon and HBA Petey and I would become great friends and in 1965 we would meet again. A The United Planning Organization a self-help community organization was hiring "Neighborhood Workers." A They hired three, me, Petey and H. A Two years later Rap would be named Chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. A I would become a Roving Leader (Youth Gang Task Force) for the DC Recreation Department and Petey would find his new home in radio at WOL.
Day January 20-24, 2014We added block buddies to the block building center for more imaginative play activities. A Three UPO "Neighborhood Workers" would go on to establish their own independent idenities. The children have been busy building castles for the knights, dragons, and princesses, rescue vehicles for the firefighters, houses for the puppies, barns for the horses, and rocket ships for the astronauts to blast into space.
A Petey would win 2 Emmy Awards and in 2007 there was a feeble attempt to do his life story on the big screen. They marched their painted foot onto the paper and surprise a perfect little penguin appeared justas unique as they are. He is now in jail serving a life sentence for the murder of a black Deputy Sherrif in Fulton County, Georgia. The children created a seal shaped book filled with interesting animal facts about how animals keepwarm in the cold. Of all the animals they are learning about the children are fascinated with the Narwhal which iscalled the unicorn of the sea because of the long horn on it's head. Brian McIntyre.A He was sitting almost alone and there was no one waiting in line (compared to today's media circus).
He worked his magic as he helped the children count flowers and see how high they could count!Hooray!
The groundhog is one such animal who burrows into the ground to hide from the winter weather. On Groundhog's Day, February 2, Punxsutawney Phil, peeks out of his burrow to predict if he thinks winter is over or not. The children made their own groundhog puppets and colored a grassy burrow for them to peek in and out of just like Punxsutawney Phil.
A I looked down and notice that all the white media were seated on one side of half-court and all the blacks were seated on the other side of the half-court line.
The children built and connected our many tunnels together to make their own burrows to hibernate in just like the groundhog. With all the climbing in and out of the tunnels it didn't take long for the children to become tired out.
He stepped in front of me and said "I got it."A It would be the start of the 4th quarter that Mark returned to the press table table and apologize for his unprofessional actions.
A There were other mistakes like someone thought a black Judy Holland was VP material---far from it.
A It took a minute but in the meantime, he was making an effort to bring about change in his own way. A But according veteran (32 years) sports writer Bill Rhoden of the New York Times, progress in sports media pressrooms around the country are on a slow boat to China.A His recent appearance on the widely acclaimed television news show Meet the Press, he said, "the NBA, NFL and MLB are still dragging their feet. Media pressrooms at Deadline are still the last plantations.A A Pioneering broadcaster and former NBA CBS basketball analyst Sonny Hill and now a sports talk show host on WIP Radio in Philadelphia said, "I am not surprised by Rhoden's statement, very little has changed in media pressrooms. A One of the problems there is no networking among blacks who have moved it up the ladder." A That is an understatement. A The copy rights for Inside Sports is own by News Week Magazine and it is own by the Washington Post. A A First, there was a a problem with the PR Men from hell, Brian Sereno and Matt Williams. A A It was brought to my attention that Sereno was disrespecting the ladies of The Roundball Report. A The meeting was set before a Wizard's game in the press louge but Scott Hall was the lead man. A He listened and we disagreed on some points but when we walked away from the table we were on the same page. A The community and everyone in it was a friend, the old and the young, the black and the white and the healthy and the lame.
A I was honored to speak at his retirement held at the arena just before the Bullets moved to Washington and changed their name to the Wizards.A Denny Gordon was in ticket sales and it seem like he knew everyone who brought a ticket.
A He was made the scapegoat after being sold out by his assisstant coach Bernie Bickerstaff and others.
A The meeting revolved around a charity all-star game scheduled for the Bahamas, the island home of NBA star Mycal Thompson.
A Magic Johnson was one of All-Stars participating.A Representatives from the NBA included VP Ron Thorne, Legal Counsel Gary Bettman and head of security Horace Balmer. A A Gary Bettman is the Commissioner of the NHL, Thorne is somewhere lurking in the NBA, Balmer has since retired and Magic is a role model for Black America? A A The short lived existence of basketball legend Michael Jordan as a Wizard's player and Executive in the front office. A After the story broke he and several teammates made light of it during introductions of a game.
A He was eventually suspended for most of the 2009a€"10 season.A The thing that I find disturbing about this Donald Sterling charade is that folks are acting like they were surprised by his rants against blacks. A A I also notice the same "Old faces and voices" are called on to respond to the racist acts by men like Sterling---when they are a part of the problem . A He and Sterling were good friends because "Birds of a feather flock together." A Check Magic's history out and you will discover the two have a lot in common. A Magic's claim to be a minority owner of the LA Dodgers is another sham (token black face).
James Brown (CBS Sports) another mis-guilded brother claiming to be a minority baseball owner and an expert on racism. A He did finally admit on the late George Michael Show (Sports Machine) "I have no say in making baseball decisions as a minority owner." A His role as a minority owner is to be paraded out on Opening Day as the black face to read the starting line-ups.
A A This is the same Michael Wilbon that I had at least two recent conversations about the use of the N word as a term of endearment. A I have to give him credit, he will at least talk to me face to face and not behind my back. A I tried to explain that his rationale that his grandfather's use the word as a term of endearment does not make it right today.
A I told him he should not go on national television saying it is okay to use the N word among friends and family.
A It gives bigots like Donald Sterling the Green Light to do the same among his friends and family. A Plus, Michael told me he was not going to appear on the ESPN Show Outside the Lines because the white host had no horse in the race! A A I wish that Magic, James, Michael and the rest of the media experts would defer to black men like Hank Aaron, Dr.
A But they wear the battle scars and have been on the front lines of the civil rights movement in real life and in the sports arenas of America. A In other words, they have been there and done that.A I guess that is wishful thinking, especially when everyone wants to be an expert on television. A In the meantime, they don't know their asses from a hole in the ground but the beat goes on and on. A Auerbach would go a step further in the 1966-67 NBA season, when he stepped A down after winning nine titles in 11 years, and made Bill Russell player-coach.
A A trailblazers, RED AND DOTIE AUERBACHi»? ON INSIDE SPORTSA Russell would eventually be the first black to win an NBA championship. A There are far too many crying "Foul" and playing the victims in this charade, to include some NBA owners.A Let me start with my homeboy, the great Elgin Baylor who was the Clippers GM for over 2 decades. His teams were perennial losers on the court and in attendance, but he picked up his check every two weeks and kept his mouth shut. A A In his deposition, Elgin spoke about what he called Sterling's 'plantation mentality,' alleging the owner in the late 1990s rejected a coaching candidate, Jim Brewer, because of race.
A Talking about an organization needing a change of name and a face-lift---meet Leon Jenkins.A Jenkins seen above at a press conference trying to explain why the li»?ocal branch was honoring Sterling during the 100th Anniversary of the organization next month.
A A He explained the previous award had been approved by the man he replaced and he just went along to get along. A A Sterling won't be the first to sleep black and think white when it comes to sex, politics and money. Slave owners lived by the credo and in modern day history there was the late Senator Strom Thurmond. A Nike NBA rep John Phillips and I met with VP Rod Thorn, League Counsel Gary Bettman and Head of League Security, Horace Balmer.
A The meeting centered around whether Magic Johnson, Mycal Thompson and a group of NBA All-Stars would be allowed to travel to the Bahamas for a charity basketball game without league approval.
The game had been played in the Bahamas the previous year without incident or controversy.A It was obvious that there was a power-play being made by the league office to cancel the game.
Thorn open the meeting by asking who was going to be responsible if one of the players was hurt during the game? A Magic suggested that the topic of conversation just might be centered around an injury to a player. I tried to explain that playing the game was no different then one of the players participating in a pick-up game on a New York City playground in the off season. A What is this some kind of plantation?"A The room went silent and Horace Balmer the only other black in the room just shook his head and seem to be lost for words. A Thorn called off the discussion and promised to get back to us but he never did.A In the meantime, Magic Johnson disappeared and changed his number. A Mycal was a class act but his hands were tied when Magic decided to do his Houdini act.A Gary Bettman now runs the NHL, Ron Thorn is still in the NBA somewhere calling the shots, Horace Balmer has since retired and Magic is the face (black) in the middle of the Donald Sterling charade.
A When all is said and done, the real victim despite all of her baggage is the girlfriend (The Whistle Blower) V. A NBA Commissioner Adam Silver during his annoucement as it related to the punishment of Donald Sterling apologize to black NBA pioneers Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper and Magic Johnson. A He reminds me of the controversial Celebrity Chef Paula Deen who alledgely use The N word to describe her love for black folks. A How should we expect her to know if she has never walked in our shoes ?A When it is a part of your DNA it is difficult to rid yourself of the gene.A A One morning I was watching Ms.
This award was longed overdue and I wonder why it took the NAACP so long to finally recognized Mr. Belafonte in accepting the award asked, "Where are today's black leaders?A Our children's blood is still running in our streets---there is work still to be done. The coalition stated it will urge President Obama to mention an urban jobs plan in his state of the Union speech on February 12th----Good luck! Ben Carson of John Hopkins University Hospital.A His prayer and message was centered around health care, the economy, American debt, and tax reform, thus taking dead aim at President Obama's platform for the nation.
Carson spend 25 minutes talking about the nation's ills and solutions with the President sitting less than 5 feet from him.A When all was said and done, President Obama was not looking so Presidential! The coldest blue is French Ultramarine, followed by Cobalt, Cerulean, Manganese, and the warmest, Prussian and Phthalocyanine.
Carson set the record straight from the very beginning.A He made it clear he was not taking any wooden nickels.
Phthalocyanine may be labeled Phthalo, Thalo, Monstral, or Winsor)i»?The darkest blues are Prussian, then Phthalocyanine.
Both colors are so potent that even a tiny amount has a powerful impact upon other colors in mixtures.
Even though they are transparent, due to their intensity they effectively hide what they are painted over unless worked out into an extremely thin veneer. Rich, vibrant blacks can be made with them when combined with a strong red like Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red Deep, or Indian Red.
By adding white to these blackish mixtures, the blacks become handsome violet, pinkish, or greenish grays. In 2010, he became that series' youngest driver and the first black driver to win a race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway. A close friend of mine that has been partially paralyzed by strokes, pays for aids to "help". If they show up, they usually just sit and do nothing, root through her jewelry and personal effects, and some have been caught stealing jewelry.
One was there when she collapsed with another stroke, and instead of calling for help, she called her boyfriend and left, leaving her patient to manage on her own. It runs M - F from 10am - Noon and starting on Monday July 22 will repeat from 4pm - 6pm each day.
My opinions about Tiger Woods or any other issue are mine and I could give a damn about what Feinstein or anybody else things about them.
In their prime at theA Washington Post, they were among the best sports writers in the country. A I was up close and personal with the sports department.A Kindred and Chad were talented writers but you could not trust them, Cornheiser and Feintstein's talent, they easily blended in with the landscape of the paper.
A Feinstein called Wilbon the biggest ass kisser in sports media, if that is true he had great teacher in Cornheiser. A When Solomon tried to kick Cornheiser to the curve (fire him) in the 80s he was able to move to the Style section of the paper. A One black female Washington Post columnist wrote a book titled "Plantation on the Potomac." A She was describing her employer. A Hopefully, they were asked to participate and were of the same mindset as Wilbon not comfortable with Mr.
A Goodell makes more than any player in the NFL and he never has to make a tackle or catch a pass.A The owners recent pay out to the players for injuries suffered on their watch was peanuts compared to the billions they make year in and year out. A When he refused a request by his mother to cease using the word and a similar plea by poet Myra Angelo. Martin Luther Kinga€™s 1963 march on Washington and 46 years since his assassination in Memphis, Tenn.
With the high-scoring Macauley, elite passer Cousy, and new prodigy Sharman, Auerbach had a core that provided high-octane fast-break basketball.
In the next years until 1956, the Celtics would make the playoffs every year, but never won the title. Brown was desperate to turn around his struggling and financially strapped franchise, which was reeling from a 22a€"46 record.[5]A The still young but already seasoned Auerbach was made coach. A Nike NBA rep John Phillips and I met with VP Rod Thorn, League Counsel Gary Bettman and Head of League Security, Horace Balmer.A The meeting centered around whether Magic Johnson, Mycal Thompson and a group of NBA All-Stars would be allowed to travel to the Bahamas for a charity basketball game without league approval. A He was right on point.A To this day I think Magic had a previous discussion with the league office. James Gholson, Red Auerbach, Biff Carter, Jessie Chase, Morgan Wooten, Everett Cookie Payne Sr., Frank Bolden, Dr.
Leo Hill, Roper McNair, Earl Alfred, Maxwell Honemond, Tilman Sease, William Roundtree, Charlie Baltimore, Jaky Mathews, Ferdinand Day, Nick Turner, Walter Brooks, Ted McIntye, and my saviors, Dave Brown and Bighouse Gaines.A They knew their Xs and Os, but more important, they were there for our highs and lows.A Where have all those flowers gone?
We never could have made it without them.I have given up on the Pigskin Club, but keeping hope alive for the DC Recreation Department and the Roving Leader Program. BELL 12-25-1940---8-1-2013A A GOOD COP WHO BROKE THE CODE OF SILENCE IN THE WASHINGTON, DC POLICE DEPARTMENT.
A The real Serpico is seen leaving the Bronx Courthouse alone after testifying before the Knapp Commission on wide spread police corruption in the department. A In the old days police A would carry a "drop knife---an inexpensive weapon cops would bring along on patrol to drop onto or next to suspect that they had taken out so that they could say that he had threaten them. A Today you don't even need to do that; all that you have to do is justify the use of deadly force if you are a police officer is to say that you feared for your life, for whatever reason.
If the victim dies, that just means there will one less witness around to contradict the test-lie. A In the case of Officer Michael Slager of the North Charleston police, it appears he was being extra-carefulto cover his tracks.
A Probably he could have gotten away with simply declaring, as he did in the radioed report, that Walter Scott "took my taser," and that would have probably have sufficed to exonerate him.
A But Slager having shot Scott eight times in the back--as everyone can see in the now famous video--perhaps felt that he needed a little help explaining what he was up to. A So apparently dropped his Taser next to Scott's body, which would obviously help to make the case that Scott "Took my taster."A If you think that what happen in North Charleston is a unique case, its not.
A Only recently, in another case, a policewoman in Pennsylvania first Tasered a black man then shot him twice in the back as he lay face down in the snow. A Unless honesty is rewarded more often then corruption, the police will lose credibility altogether. A I wrote a letter to President Bill Clinton in 1994 addressing this very issue, saying that honest cops have never been rewarded, and maybe there ought to be a medal for them, he wrote back but nothing change.
A If enough testi-lying is uncovered, then who is going to believe the police even when they are telling the truth?
A A Until now the shoot first fear of my life mantra has eliminated any cause for concern in the taking of life by police. A When a civilian committs a crime, every nuance is looked at, the better to "throw the book at" the suspect. A The other day I got a letter from a journalist in Argentina who was complaining about police and judicial corruption there. A I wrote back to him, there are good cops, even where you live, but if the good cops don't want to be painted with the same broad brush as the bad cops, they need to come forward and expose the guys who are doing bad things. A Take New York City detective who was caught on camera recently abusing an Uber driver with threats and foul language, A This was truly disgusting behavior.
Yet predictably enough the detective union leader, Michael Palladino, was out there making excuses for him, suggesting that, well, it was only one incident, and everyone has a bad day. A Afterward Police Commissioner William Bratton announced he was removing the detective's shield and placing him temporarily on desk duty while an investigation is conducted . A But this man needs to be demoted to uniform at the very least, or "back in the bag" as we use to say. A Imagine what he is capable of doing under the cover of darkness if he can talk to someone like that in broad daylight. A There are plenty legitimate incidents where police believe, correctly, that their lives are in danger. A I was in a few of those situations myself during the course of my career.A But unless the police forces and society as a whole take action we're not going to be able to distinguish between the legititimate claims and made-up testimony. A A long time ago Norman Rockwell painted a famous picture of a friendly neighborhood cop bending down to help a little boy. A For example; I could name someone who is a great athlete but a lousy human being or I could name someone who is a great human being but not a great athlete.
A Heading the list is Muhammad Ali (The Greatest), Red Auerbach (NBA), Dave Bing (NBA), Lenny Moore (NFL), Bert R. Sugar (Boxing), Lee Jones (NBA), Roy Jefferson (NFL) and Harold McLinton (NFL), finding pro athletes like them today are far, few and in-between. A And that is a sad commentary when you think about the hundreds of men and women I have interviewed on Inside Sports and worked with as a youth advocate (Kids In Trouble).
Moore, LB Dave Robinson (2013 NFL Hall of Fame inductee) and WR Roy Jefferson host KIT toy party. A Sam Jones (NBA), Lenny Moore (NFL) and Roy Jefferson (NFL) participate in KIT clothing drive for needy children at Union Station.
A Bert Sugar (Boxing) receives KIT Life Time Achievement Award and Dave Bing (NBA) pays tribute to KIT Saturday Program All-Stars.I had the opportunity to hear an interview on Sirius A XM Radio (channel 126) on the Maggie Linton Show recently, her guest was NFL Washington Pro football player, wide receiver Peirre Garcon. A I have not been very impressed with todaya€™s pro athletes and their give back commitment to their family, friends and community.
A He has three older sisters making him the youngest and the only one born in the United States.His father died when he was 4 years old leaving his mother to raise him and his 3 sisters alone. A My background is similar to Peirrea€™s, my mother had to raise 4 boys alone with an assist from Grandma Bell.

Daniel Wigdor and Kay Hofmeester telling the tale of how the Windows 8 touch interaction patterns came into being – giving detailed accounts of trial and error. Take for example the action of checking and object in tile view vs. moving it about. Using icons or text didn't work when communicating how to switch between those modes – so they introduced a speed bump: when you pull an object up to a certain point, you meet resistance (you can't pull any further). If you release now, the item is checked. If you pull further, overcoming the resistance, the object is released and may be moved across the screen freely. This, they, found, is an easily learnable mode of interaction that is also easily transferable to list-views – i.e.: the things they were looking for.

Wistful Instrument, Solitary Creatures
by Brigitte N. McCray
Imogene's cello quarreled like two harsh lovers. A fast two-step with staccato notes and double stops and repeated riffs. She swayed back and forth, the bow pushing out the jam as if she were Sean Grissom. She could almost believe it, even when rotten fish and creosote wafted from the waterfront and the bits of trash from the French Market tumbled along.
The tourists on Decatur Street snapped her photograph, and Imogene tossed her long hair and winked, pretending the other musicians on Royal Street hadn't laughed at her unpolished playing and banished her. She preferred Decatur anyway, with the homeless kids who had train-hopped and now munched on half-eaten beignets from the garbage between their own sets. They sometimes shook her hand after she played and her hands would remain sticky for hours after. These touches sustained her.
Imogene would often visit the public library, where she could be surrounded by people as lonely as she; in the stacks one weekend, she spent hours in the science section, reading about ocean animals while a homeless man in the next aisle watched pornography on his phone. She remembered reading that octopuses were solitary. Although, when they touched a human– or anything, really– their arms stuck there, not wanting to let go.
Her backpack stuffed with her belongings leaned against the kids', and with her converse sneakers and pink-dyed hair, Imogene fit right in, no matter that she could have been their mother.
She hated Bourbon Street, where all that noise from the clubs and the tourists beat her into the loneliest person in New Orleans. Her cello's thick and silky notes kept her comfortable and warm until she met Philip, an olive oil maker from Crete.
She'd learned to tolerate the visitors from the cruise ships that docked at the New Orleans port. To tolerate their looks of bewildered amusement. The tourists always wore flip-flops and ugly clothes, like button-up shirts with parrots stitched on them. The bits of change that their manicured fingers plopped inside her instrument case jingled, but the five-dollar bill that Philip dropped floated around her legs until it gently fell inside the case. Like a great blue heron's crown, his thin wisps of black hair blew in the breeze. She tried to focus on her fingers, the bow, and then the marinated mushrooms she'd buy later at Central Grocery. Philip's loafer tapped in time with her music and he was the only person who returned her wink.
He turned to a sunburned tourist wearing a fanny pack and said, "Her arms and hands are as tricky and swift as an octopus's."
Imogene pressed too hard on the fingerboard and her cello quivered. Philip's voice had been sweet and syrupy, a jazz solo. It was the first-time she favored a human's voice to that of her cello.
Later that night, Imogene led him to Hansen's Sno-Bliz, where they licked lavender and ginger-cayenne snowballs. When skinny-dipping in the Mississippi, Philip interlocked his fingers into her own, and she wondered if she'd ever be able to release her grip. She glanced back, worried her instrument case on the river bank would float away; her stomach twitched and tightened. What if she never needed to play the cello again? She was like an octopus, not wanting to release the flesh that seemed unusual and inviting. A way to cure the loneliness. He missed his cruise ship, and for weeks they rode the green NOLA streetcar each night, his voice carrying over the wooka-wooka-wooka.
The kids from Decatur charmed at the wedding with their songs. They all ate chunks of bread dipped in Philip's olive oil with roasted aubergines and peppers and pickled vegetables. When Imogene and Philip danced, he whispered to her in Greek. She'd checked out "Learn Greek in a Week" from the library and listened to the CD on her battered portable player while Philip had snored beside her. "I smell the Mississippi, but it's not powerful, not the way I smell the ocean in Crete," he said now. The island was calling him home.
"We should go," she said.
On the boat from New Orleans to the Mediterranean, Imogene and Philip's hands glided over each other's skin; their limbs tangled. He fell asleep, and after having her arms wrapped around Philip for so long, it was strange to hold her bow; so, she plucked the cello's strings. The melody could always ease her solitude. The sea, however, drowned its voice; she could no longer understand the notes. The Mississippi waves and the trumpets and trombones that echoed in her heart drifted from her, the sea ushering the sounds to New Orleans.
Philip woke and said, "Come to bed. Listen to my voice instead." His voice was like olive oil. He told her stories of his grandparents planting their first olive trees.
Once on the island, Philip busied himself with oil pressing, grinding, and percolating in the building a half of a mile from the grove while Imogene wandered around the black nets spread under the trees and waved to the workers who ignored her as they separated the olives with their rakes. She practiced Greek phrases and sentences, the words gentle and soft under the buzzing bees and the bleating goats. She longed for New Orleans' sticky dampness; the live oaks; the streets that smelled of bourbon, crawfish, and grilled corn on the cob; the other musicians playing jazz, blues, and ragtime; the dirty kids with their powdered sugar-stained fingers, but she could not return to that place of loneliness.
Even a quarter of a mile from the sea, she could hear the loud fishermen and their wives grumbling about octopuses stealing salted fish. Curious if she'd understood them correctly, Imogene plodded to the docks.
"I'll knock even the largest octopus on its head!" The stout wife brandished a frying pan out at the ocean, threatening the now-absent creature.
"A curse on every octopus!" A fisherman removed his cap and spat in the sea.
After the difficulty of playing her cello on the boat during her honeymoon, Imogene also feared she'd have to miss the voice of her cello. Perhaps, she thought, an audience would make a difference. She fetched her cello.
She set up next to a couple cleaning a huge net from that morning's catch. Should she play a Cajun dance song? Something slower? She played for a few minutes before they began shouting.
"Know any sea shanties?"
"Or mournful ballads about doomed lovers?"
"How about a nice bit of folk music?"
Imogene's head ached from all the hard consonants and slurred vowels; she longed for the rolling "Rs" and nasal vowels of Cajun French.
The shouting and laughing and crinkling of bags at the fish market called to her. She worked the middle of the stalls on the promenade, but no one paid her cello's voice any mind. Customers filled baskets with sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and squid. A pushy seller kept offering lobster to buyers who refused because of expense. "Which seasonings flavored the lavraki best?" a customer wondered.
The quiet of the olive grove would've been better. Yet, in the grove, only her cello's voice and her own kept her company. Once, that had been enough.
An octopus's arm crawled over the fish in one of the stalls, the suckers busily grabbing and holding the fish. Imogene dropped her bow. The octopus's ache for touching delighted Imogene's heart in the same way the Mississippi River and Cajun and jazz music did. Why, with all the fish in the sea, were the octopuses coming to steal the fish?
Back in New Orleans, Imogene had stolen packets of cigarettes, gum, any small thing just to have a store owner shout at her, just to sit down with a police officer and have someone speak to speak to as she drank bitter coffee at the station.
"Ack!" A black-kerchiefed fishmonger screamed and lifted a cleaver. "You'll wish you'd kept that arm away from my fish!" She brought the cleaver down, but the octopus was too quick. The cleaver stuck in the stall. The fishmonger left the cleaver stuck in the wooden partition and chased after the fleeing octopus with its stolen crab. The octopus creeped and struggled across land and only escaped the woman by squeezing through a storm drain. She kneeled and peeked down, cursing the octopus.
Imogene wished she could be as boneless and as malleable so she could follow the octopus into the dark.
What music would an octopus love? What could coax them from the sea, despite their timidity? Imogene thought of nothing else all through dinner, as Philip stuffed squid into his mouth and chewed loudly. When he asked her to take a bite, she sighed and listed song after song in her notepad, but crossed each one out. Then, she began listing classical water-themed pieces: the rolling waves of Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave, the wind and waves of Debussy's La Mer, the flowing water of Wagner's prelude to Das Rheingold? Those would be just right.
She snuck out in the middle of the night and played in the grove until her fingers bled. When the cello's voice grew louder than the crickets and the flapping of the night-heron's wings overhead, the octopuses rolled to the grove. They climbed into the olive trees. Their bulbous heads, bulging eyes, and rounded bodies stuck out, and as they lounged on the branches and listened, their bright colors changed to olive. Despite the camouflage, Imogene could feel them there.
In the dark, the music lifted to the octopuses and their arms dangled and wriggled, coming ever so close to Imogene's hair. There are ways to speak without voice, without touch. She played on, anticipating their touch.
