Chris Paul scores 28, leads Thunder rally to hand Rockets fourth straight loss
Associated PressJan 20, 2020, 9:44 PM EST
HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Paul scored 28 points and Danilo Gallinari added 25 as the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat cold-shooting James Harden and the Houston Rockets 112-107 on Monday.
Paul scored 27 of his 28 points in the first half against his former team. Gallinari and Dennis Schroder, who scored 17 of his 23 points after halftime, carried the Thunder after the break.
Former Thunder player Russell Westbrook had 32 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds for Houston. Harden had 29 points but was astonishingly inefficient, making 1 of 17 3-point attempts, as the Rockets' losing streak stretched to a season-high four games.
Oklahoma City used a 6-0 run, highlighted by a dunk from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after he stole the ball from Harden, to put the Thunder up 108-105 with about a minute left.
Harden made a layup for Houston to cut the lead to one, but Schroder made a jump shot with 28 seconds remaining to make it 110-107. Russell Westbrook missed a 3-pointer on the other end and Gilgeous-Alexander added two free throws to secure the victory.
Houston had a 15-point lead before the Thunder scored 13 straight points to get within 100-98 with 4 1/2 minutes to go. Gallinari led the way for Oklahoma City in that stretch, making two 3-pointers and adding three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt.
Harden made one of two free throws after that but Gallinari struck again seconds later with another 3 that tied it at 101-all. Gilgeous-Alexander then made one of two free throws to give the Thunder their first lead since the first quarter.
Westbrook made Houston's first field goal in more than four minutes with a layup with just more than three minutes left. He then added another layup after a steal seconds later to give the Rockets a 105-102 lead with about two minutes to go.
The Thunder trailed by 16 points after three quarters, but a 9-2 run, with five points from Schroder, got them within 91-82 with about 9 1/2 minutes left.
Houston trailed by as many as 10 in the first half but led by seven at halftime and used a 9-3 run to open the third quarter and push it to 73-60. P.J. Tucker had a 3-pointer in that stretch and Westbrook added four points.
Houston scored the last four points in a third quarter where Oklahoma City scored just 14 points to make it 87-71 entering the fourth.

LeBron James drops 31, leads Lakers comeback to beat Rockets
HOUSTON — LeBron James had 31 points and 12 assists and the Los Angeles Lakers rode a big third quarter to a a 124-115 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.
The Lakers bounced back after a loss to Orlando on Wednesday night that snapped their nine-game winning streak. The loss was the third straight for the Rockets, which ties a season high, and they have dropped four of five.
Kyle Kuzma scored 23 points, and Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope each had 20 for the Lakers.
Russell Westbrook scored 35 points for his fourth straight 30-point game and James Harden had 34 for the Rockets, who also lost three in a row in late November.
Los Angeles didn't lead in the first half but used a 32-point third quarter to take a nine-point lead into the fourth.
Houston used a 6-0 run to cut the lead to 10 with about seven minutes left, but the Lakers scored the next six points to extend it to 110-94 midway through the quarter. That sent many Rockets fans streaming for the exits and caused a large contingent of Lakers fans to start chanting, "Let's go Lakers."
The Rockets did not get closer than seven points the rest of the way.
The Lakers opened the second half with a 10-3 run to take their first lead of the game, 69-68, with about eight minutes left in the third quarter. James capped that run by making a basket and then added another one seconds later after JaVale McGee blocked a dunk attempt by Clint Capela. McGee beat his chest and screamed after in Capela's direction after the play and received a technical foul for taunting.
There were about seven minutes left in the third when Westbrook and Anthony Davis, who missed the game with an injury, both received technical fouls for jawing at each other.
The Lakers led by three later in the third when Kuzma scored the first four points of a 9-2 run that stretched the lead to 85-75.
Houston had a chance to cut the deficit at the end of the third quarter, but Westbrook missed two free throws to leave the Lakers up 91-82 entering the fourth.

PBT mid-season awards: MVP and All-NBA
By Dan FeldmanJan 16, 2020, 3:44 PM EST
The 2019-20 NBA season will reach its midpoint by games played tonight. So, we're naming winners for mid-season awards. Tomorrow, we'll pick Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Man of the Year and Coach of the Year.
Kurt Helin: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)
This is how wide-open this race remains to me: a couple of weeks ago I would have said LeBron James led this chase, and a few days ago it was James Harden (and Luka Doncic could still be the one holding the trophy at the end of the season). Harden's case is his 37.2 points per game scoring average, which the fourth-highest average in NBA history (trailing only three Wilt Chamberlain seasons) — and he's scoring even more efficiently than he did a season ago. However, those numbers have slipped slightly in recent weeks, although that's because defenses have adjusted and are throwing crazy double-teams at him. Antetokounmpo is averaging 30 points and 12 rebounds a game, added a three-point shot to his game, and has led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA. As it was last season, it's the defense that separates Antetokounmpo — and this year LeBron, too — from Harden in my book.
Dan Feldman: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)
James Harden is averaging an astounding 37.2 points per game. That's the start of his MVP case. But per 100 team possessions, Harden's scoring lead over Antetokounmpo is a mere 46.4 to 44.9. Consider Antetokounmpo's all-around advantages – especially defensively – and he deserves this honor.
Harden gets additional credit for playing more than Antetokounmpo. Those are minutes Harden is providing value to his team. But Antetokounmpo plays fewer minutes because he and Milwaukee are putting away teams early. Like Harden, Antetokounmpo is playing as much as necessary for his team to win.
LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis are also in the mix.
Kurt Helin:
G: Luka Doncic (Mavericks)
G: James Harden (Rockets)
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks)
F: LeBron James (Lakers)
C: Joel Embiid (76ers)
G: Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers)

Every year I find All-NBA third team the most difficult part of the ballot — there are usually several players for each position very close in my mind, and those decisions by voters can have financial implications for the players. (Why players salary levels should not be based on media player votes is a rant for another day — but I have that rant ready.)
That's the case again this season. I feel comfortable with the first two teams (although, obviously, things can shift) but the third team is challenging, and there are players not listed above who could make my end-of-year ballot. Karl-Anthony Towns is my fourth center but only because he has missed so much time and he likely gets back on the court soon (he has been phenomenal offensively when he plays). Bradley Beal could climb into a guard spot, as could Devin Booker or Trae Young (their defense still holds them back in my mind). Khris Middleton and others are hanging around as well.
Dan Feldman:
G: Chris Paul (Thunder
G: Ben Simmons (76ers)
F: Jaylen Brown (Celtics)
Gobert and Jokic could go in either order at center. Because he has played less, Embiid had to edge out Bam Adebayo.
The final guard spot was extremely close between Walker, Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker and Trae Young. It's splitting hairs.
Same for the final forward spot. Brown narrowly topped Jayson Tatum, Brandon Ingram and Domantas Sabonis
Pascal Siakam might have taken it if he stayed healthy, and he'll have a chance to seize it the rest of the season. Paul George could also get in the race at either forward or guard if he's healthier the rest of the season.

Alex Caruso jumps Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry in All-Star voting
Chris Elise/NBAE via Getty Images
Alex Caruso's All-Star votes caused waves when the Lakers backup ranked sixth among Western Conference guards.
Now, he's fourth, passing Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry.
Fourth!
Ultimately, this won't matter. Caruso won't be an All-Star. Starters are determined by a formula that combines the votes of fans, players (who'll barely choose Caruso) and media (who won't at all choose Caruso). Reserves are picked by coaches (who won't at all choose Caruso). Caruso getting so many fan votes is funny and nothing more.
Really, if his climb produces any more outrage, that'd further expose the absurdity of this whole process. He passed Westbrook (who has slipped and is no longer playing like a Western Conference All-Star) and Curry (who has missed nearly the entire season due to injury). It's a popularity contest that only somewhat overlaps with on-court production. Caruso is among the bigger absurdities in All-Star voting, but there's no sanctity to uphold here.
The latest update in All-Star voting provides minimal meaningful change from the previous returns.
Carmelo Anthony moved from eighth to sixth among Western Conference frontcourt players, passing Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns. It still seems likely LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard will snag the three Western Conference frontcourt starting spots. But Anthony – who's highly popular among fellow players – has an outside chance if media votes (which won't include him) are concentrated enough.
LeBron James still leads the overall voting. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads Eastern Conference players, though he trails Luka Doncic. Let me restate my objection: If he has more votes than Antetokounmpo, Doncic should be an All-Star captain. Dividing by conference at the captain-picking stage – when the whole point is no longer dividing the All-Star game by conference – is a bad method.
Likewise, players shouldn't be divided by conference when selected at all (though I understand Eastern Conference teams want to protect spots for their lesser players).
Maybe we can start by eliminating positional designations. Make the best 26 – yes, 26 – players All-Stars, and let them sort it out on the court.

NBA Power Rankings: Jazz climbing fast, still chasing Bucks, Lakers
By Kurt HelinJan 15, 2020, 4:12 PM EST
The top two spots remain locked in, as they have for weeks now, but under that there remains a lot of movement in these NBA power rankings, with the red-hot Jazz climbing up to third.
1. Bucks (36-6, Last Week No. 1). Milwaukee is on a 70-win pace, and while we rightfully credit Giannis Antetokounmpo for much of that (right now he'd get my MVP vote, again), it is the Bucks' defense that sets them apart. Milwaukee's 101.6 defensive rating (using NBA.com's numbers) is the best in the league by more than two full points. Their system protects the paint first, last, and always, and with that gives up the most three-point attempts in the league per game. However, their length and athleticism can contest some of those, and the Bucks take away all of an opponent's easy buckets at the rim. It works.
2. Lakers (33-7, LW No. 2). Winners of nine in a row, and that includes beating OKC when LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Danny Green were all out. Kyle Kuzma lit up the Thunder with 36 in that game, but was very pedestrian (5-of-13 shooting, 11 points) two nights later against the Cavaliers, missing all his threes. Kuzma tends to be up-and-down, which concerns teams that see him as a No. 3 option or a sixth man and might want to trade for him (it also should concern the Lakers, somewhat, although he's given them what they need this season).
3. Jazz (28-12, LW 4). Utah has won 10 in a row and they continue to tear it up on offense — a league-best 122 offensive rating over those 10 games. Donovan Mitchell has played like an All-Star, Joe Ingles has thrived as a starter, Bojan Bogdanovic is having big games, and the Jazz are undefeated since adding Jordan Clarkson to their bench. All of this is without Mike Conley in the mix (still out with a hamstring issue), but it leads to questions about how to fit him in upon his return.
4. Rockets (26-13, LW 5). At the midway point of the season, James Harden is on pace to average 37.8 points per game for the season, the most by any player not named Wilt Chamberlain. What's amazing is he has taken on that increased offensive load and been even more efficient this season, with a ridiculous 63.6 true shooting percentage. Those numbers have slipped a little in recent weeks as teams are throwing ridiculous double-teams at Harden to force the ball out of his hands, but how he is making teams adjust is another reason is in the middle of the MVP mix this season.
5. Celtics (27-11, LW 3). Boston's offense looked clumsy during a three-game losing streak, that was until Jayson Tatum exploded for 41 against a shorthanded Pelicans team on Saturday. It was an All-Star level performance from Tatum, but will the coaches pick him as a reserve in the East? Probably. My money is on the player/media vote bumping Kemba Walker into a starting role, but either way he will be in Chicago as well. Thursday night the Celtics get a good measuring stick game against the Bucks in Milwaukee.
6. Nuggets (27-12, LW 7). In the last 15 games, Denver has looked like the team we expected going into the season: Winning games (11-4) thanks to an elite offense led by Nikola Jokic (second best in the NBA in the last 15), but that masks a troubling defense (28th in the NBA over that same stretch). The impressive Nuggets defense from the first part of the season is gone, and if it doesn't make a return — or the Nuggets don't make a trade to boost it — that end of the floor could have them fishing in Cabo earlier than they expected this postseason.
7. Clippers (28-13, LW 6). Some nights, the Clippers look like the team the rest of the West feared — they can take apart anybody. Just ask the Lakers. But there are other nights they look disjointed and uninterested, and they do not impress, such as recent losses to Memphis and Denver. Doc Rivers, what do you think of the inconsistency? "I think we've been inconsistent on both ends. It is what it is. I'm not that frightened by it." Should he be?
8. Heat (27-12, LW 8). Miami keeps winning games — 9-6 in its last 15 — but that's become in spite of their defense and not because of it. The Heat have been a bottom 10 defensive team over those 15 games (and the team has a net rating of -0.1, basically even). Last weekend's losses to the Nets and Knicks are the kind of off games teams with poor defenses have. The Heat need to turn this around to keep home court through the first round of the playoffs.
9. Raptors (25-14, LW 10). Toronto went a respectable 6-5 without Pascal Siakam, but now he's back in the rotation (as is Norman Powell; Marc Gasol is still out but is expected to return soon) and the wins need to flow again. Nick Nurse is hoping the return of his likely All-Star in Siakam sparks an offense that was top 10 in the league in November but, with all the injuries, has fallen back to middle-of-the pack in the last 10 games (which, considering the missing players, is not that bad).
10. Pacers (25-15, LW 12). With Domantas Sabonis sidelined on Friday, Myles Turner broke out with a 27 point, 14 rebound night. It's the kind of game that will have other teams calling and checking on Turner's availability at the trade deadline, but reports are those calls are getting shot down. The Pacers are +6.3 per 100 possessions when those two are on the court together, and the Indy brass wants to see how that looks with Victor Oladipo back.
11. Thunder (23-17, LW 11). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to improve during his second season (and the tutelage of Chris Paul can't hurt), this week becoming the youngest player in NBA history with a 20-20-10 triple-double. Trade rumors continue to swirl around Danilo Gallinari and the Thunder, and OKC is looking for players on SGA's timeline to build for the future.
👏 @shaiglalex notches his 1st career triple-double with 20 PTS, a career-high 20 REB, and 10 AST in the @okcthunder win! #ThunderUp pic.twitter.com/YAAzMl9bul
— NBA (@NBA) January 14, 2020
12. Mavericks (25-15, LW 9). Dallas has gone 4-4 with Kristaps Prozingis sidelined, but he is expected back Wednesday night from his knee/illness issues. Dallas elite offense remained top six with KP out, but the defense fell from middle of the pack to bottom 10 without his length and rim protection inside. Luka Doncic seems destined to start in the All-Star game this season, as he should, but he will be the only Maverick playing on Sunday.
13. 76ers (25-16, LW 13). Sixers fans are calling for Brett Brown's head with Philadelphia having lost 6-of-8 and not looking like a threat to the Bucks right now (despite what happened on Christmas Day). The offense is clunky, but the problems start here: Ben Simmons has taken 18 shots outside the paint all season, and two of those were end-of-half heaves that don't really count. Simmons has to get into the paint to be effective, that's also where Joel Embiid is at his best, and that allows teams to pack the paint and defend Philly's strengths. Changing coaches will not change the flaws in the roster construction, that's an Elton Brand thing.
14. Grizzlies (19-22, LW 19). The NBA world is falling in love with Ja Morant right now, but the Grizzlies have two quality rookies — Brandon Clarke has been solid for them. Here's Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins on Clarke: "The great thing about Brandon is he doesn't try to do too much, he plays to his strengths. We knew that when he was coming out of Gonzaga, he's a guy who plays great team basketball on both ends of the floor. Obviously a super-efficient player on the offensive end, kind of takes what the defense gives him, picks his spots whether it's the roller game or the floater game, we're seeing him shoot the three ball a little bit more. Defensively, being in the right place, getting his hands on some defections, he doesn't get a lot of blocks but he comes over in his rotations… he does it in a team capacity."
15. Magic (19-21, LW 14). It seems fitting the Magic are in the middle of these power rankings: Orlando has a net offensive rating of 105.1 and a net defensive rating of 105.1 — exactly neutral. Cleaning the Glass projects the Magic to go 41-41. Orlando seems destined to get the seven or eight seed in the East, which puts it in the hands of management what direction to go at the trade deadline, stay this middle of the road course or think about a retooling effort by moving Evan Fournier or other quality players (except Jonathan Isaac).
16. Nets (18-21, LW 17). Kyrie Irving is back, Caris LeVert is back, and now we can finally start to see what this Nets roster looks like healthy. The offense looked good against the Hawks "defense" but, more importantly, was respectable against the Jazz defense on Monday. Brooklyn just lost that game because their defense couldn't slow the red-hot Jazz. It doesn't get easier for the Nets, their next four games are the 76ers, Bucks, 76ers (again), and Lakers. That's a gauntlet.
17. Spurs (17-21, LW 16). The Spurs 22-year playoff streak is not dead yet, despite the record San Antonio is just half a game out of the final playoff spot in the West (one game back in the loss column). What has to keep Gregg Popovich up at night (at least until the third glass of Pinot) is the bottom 10 defense from this team. It's very un-Popovich, and there is no simple answer with this roster as constructed.
18. Kings (15-25, LW 18). Marvin Bagley is back after missing eight games with a sore foot and looked pretty good against the Magic with 18 points and six boards. Combine that with the faster pace of late — which has helped De'Aaron Fox — and maybe Luke Walton's roster can start to look like the on-the-rise team everyone expected before the season tipped off.
19. Trail Blazers (17-24, LW 15). What held Carmelo Anthony back from an NBA job for so long was concerns about his defense. In their past 10 games, the Trail Blazers have gone 3-7 and have the worst defense in the NBA over that stretch. That's not all 'Melo, but he's not solving problems on that end. Three tough games on the road for Portland this week: Houston, Dallas, and OKC.
20. Pelicans (15-26, LW 24). Zion Williamson will be back in a week — Jan. 22 against the Spurs is the target date — but the Pelicans have won 3-of-4 without him. If David Griffin doesn't like the trade offers for Jrue Holiday and Derrick Favors, does he just keep the band together, add Zion, and see if they can make up the four games to get in the playoffs?
21. Suns (16-24, LW 22). Deandre Ayton is back to coming off the bench — with Dario Saric starting next to Aron Baynes — and that seems to be working for Phoenix. It allows Monty Williams to still pair Devin Booker and Ayton, they show some real chemistry, while keeping his best lineups on the floor. As a side note: There is no way this should lead to a technical and ejection in the NBA, there are some young refs with quick triggers (and some older ones, too) who are sucking the emotion out of the game.
22. Timberwolves (15-24, LW 20). There are positive rumblings that Karl-Anthony Towns could return to soon. He has missed 14 games and the Timberwolves are 5-9 without him, with the offense 14.8 points per 100 possessions worse with him on the bench. The only thing that has kept Minnesota afloat with him out is the third-ranked defense in the NBA for that stretch.
23. Bulls (14-27, LW 21). Wendell Carter Jr. being out weeks with a sprained ankle will be a real blow to Chicago, the offense flows better with him on the court and coach Jim Boylen described him as the Bulls best defensive player. When Carter has been on the court this season the Bulls outscore opponents by 1.4 points per 100 possessions, but when he sits they get outscored by 6.1. The Bulls have lost 7-of-8.
24. Wizards (13-26, LW 26). John Wall is practicing with the team and taking on contact, fueling speculation he could play this season after all. Wall isn't the only Wizard getting healthy: Davis Bertans, Bradley Beal, and Thomas Bryant all returned to the rotation over the weekend. Washington has six of its next eight on the road.
25. Pistons (14-27, LW 25). Just how good are Sekou Doumbouya and Thon Maker? That's the question the Pistons should try to answer the rest of the season, with Blake Griffin done until next fall and Andre Drummond on the trade block (what team is going to be the buyer for him, and will they offer much?). Doumbouya has a lot of promise and Detroit should give him the room to show it the rest of the season.
26. Knicks (11-30, LW 27). Mitchell Robinson has looked steadier under new coach Mike Miller, if you're looking for the silver lining in the dark cloud of this season. R.J. Barrett is putting up numbers but has a lot of work to do to become efficient at the NBA level. After that… it gets thin when quality young players for the Knicks. Kevin Knox has not caught up to the game after showing some early promise.
27. Cavaliers (12-29, LW 28). Collin Sexton could have his shot blocked more times this season than he has assists (hat tip to @Cavsanada for this stat). Sexton has had his shot blocked 76 times this season (1.9 times per game) and he has 91 assists, a difference of just 15. It's probably not going to happen, but it's something to watch if you have to watch Cavs games.
28. Hornets (15-28, LW 23). There was a point earlier in the season where Charlotte was the luckiest team in the league, the team most outperforming its point differential. That has regressed to the mean in recent weeks, including the current five-game losing streak (and losing 11-of-13). Devonte' Graham may still be the frontrunner for Most Improved Player but he has had some rough outings and been inconsistent of late.
29. Hawks (9-32, LW 29). Fans want Trae Young in the All-Star Game — he leads East guards in the fan vote — and it's easy to understand why, Young is fun to watch averaging 28.9 points and 8.4 assists per game. His team, however, is terrible and Young's defense contributes to that. Should the media/fan voters put Ben Simmons, Kemba Walker, Kyrie Irving and other East guards who are a little more two way higher on their ballots?
30. Warriors (9-33 LW 30). Stephen Curry is taking shots again. Klay Thompson says he is itching to get back on the court. Both of them will be re-evaluated next month but how much do the Warriors really want to push them to return (and potentially hurt their lottery odds in the process)? The Warriors have lost nine in a row and seem to be banking losses for the potential return of their stars.

Heineken, a handsome Bengal, has passed away. Heineken originated from a bad breeding situation before he was brought to a rescue group in New Mexico. He was a very shy guy, had a prolapsed colon and was heart worm positive and therefore was not able to be adopted out. We were fortunate enough to take in Heineken and given him a home more suitable for his personality and health issues. Although he was shy, he still loved to play with the feather toy and wait for us by his enclosure door telling us to hurry up with the treats. Heineken had some health problems from the beginning but it was, unfortunately, taking a turn for the worse. We took him to the vet and found that he had intestinal cancer. We know he is in a better place now but we will still miss his beautiful green eyes and that unmistakable voice.
Heineken is a domestic marbled Bengal. He was sent to a shelter after a horrible breeder was shut down. Due to Heineken's timid nature and health problems, he wasn't adoptable to a regular home. Due to chronic diarrhea that was not treated, Heineken prolapsed several times where his colon would fall outside his body. Thankfully, TWS has great veterinary support and through the work of Dr. Baillie and staff Heineken has been able to thrive with no relapse.

The PRC Government promulgated Regulations on the Administration of Recovery and Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (the "Regulations") on 25 February 2009. The Regulations, which will come into effect on 1 January 2011, lay down various statutory requirements concerning the recovery and disposal of waste electrical and electronic products ("WEEPs").
The main purposes of the Regulations are to regulate the recovery and disposal of WEEPs, and to improve the utilisation of resources and the development of a recycling economy.
The Regulations are applicable to those WEEPs listed in the Catalogue for the Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (the "Catalogue") which is now being prepared by the PRC authorities (including the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). The Catalogue will be published prior to the Regulations coming into effect.
The Regulations encourage the manufacturers of electrical and electronic products ("EEPs") to provide WEEPs recovery services. Manufacturers should ensure that EEPs are manufactured in accordance with legislations relating to pollution control and information concerning the recovery and disposal of WEEPs should be marked on EEPs or set out in their instructions. The Regulations also encourage manufacturers to entrust the task of WEEPs recovery to the sellers and service agencies such as maintenance service agencies.
In brief, the disposal of WEEPs for the purpose of the Regulations means the disassembly of such WEEPs, extraction of raw materials or fuel from the same, reduction or elimination of hazardous elements, and the final placement of the same in landfill sites. Activities such as repair and reuse of EEPs do not fall within the ambit of the Regulations.
Enterprises undertaking disposal activities must possess qualifications recognised by the environmental protection authorities at provincial level. Any enterprise undertaking disposal activities without the requisite qualifications may be subject to a fine between RMB50,000 and RMB500,000.
It is also worth noting that, pursuant to the Regulations, the PRC Government will set up a fund to subsidise expenses for the recovery and disposal of WEEPs.

Theatre Students, Alumni Involved in Studio Tenn's 'Battle of Franklin'
Four alumni and two current students from Belmont's Theatre Department are involved in Studio Tenn Theatre Company's newest production, "The Battle of Franklin: A Tale of a House Divided." Running Nov. 3-13 in The Factory at Franklin's Jamison Theater, the show depicts one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War between Union and Confederate soldiers on Nov. 30, 1864 in Franklin, Tennessee.
Among the alumni who are involved in the production are 2016 graduates Arik Vega (ensemble), Eliza Garrity (sound design) and Rebekah Lecocq (assistant stage manager), along with 2014 musical theatre graduate Matt Rosenbaum, cast as Mint Julep, one of the main characters. In a review of the production, The Tennessean refers to Rosenbaum as the "anchor" of the piece and describes his portrayal of a weary soldier as "effortless." The current theatre students involved are Sam Lowry (projection designer) and Robert Helvey (assistant technical director).
Belmont's involvement in this production is part of an ongoing cooperative partnership between the university and Studio Tenn Theatre Company. This agreement aims to connect theatre students with performance and networking opportunities while providing Studio Tenn with talent from one of the leading collegiate musical theatre programs in the southeast.
For information and ticket availability for upcoming show times for this production, visit Studio Tenn's website.

When they met one night last June, Nicholas Brooks and Sylvie Cachay should not, their friends say, have been attracted to each other. Sylvie was an ambitious designer, once divorced, who sought out serious relationships with similarly driven men. Nick had recently dropped out of college, had never held a job for more than a few months, and had dated many women.
"They had nothing in common," a friend of Sylvie's says.

Q: Geometrical construction of 7th roots of unity given parabola x^2 Given parabola $x^2$ on plane, how can I construct 7th roots of unity?
I was straying with my only idea, that sum of squares of real and imaginary part of roots of 1 equals 1 and belongs to $\mathbb{Q}$, but it leads me nowhere.
Also I know that group of 7th roots of unity is cyclic and isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_7$, but I think it won't be useful here.

A DACA recipient with little knowledge of Spanish is stranded in Mexico
A Houston man who has lived in the U.S. since he was 1 is now stuck in Mexico. He was protected here under DACA, until he left.
By: John Mone
Yarianna Martinez and her infant son Noah have a gap in their lives.
"This isn't home to me, it's missing a big part of our lives. It's now just a house," said Martinez.
Their lives are contained in uncertainty, with Martinez's husband stranded hundreds of miles away.
"I actually spoke with him today. He cried on the phone because of a video of our baby I sent to him," she said.
Scripps News visited Jaime Avalos, who's stuck in legal limbo, in Juarez, Mexico, a notoriously unsafe border city.
"I had this feeling, I told my wife before we came, I'm gonna stay in Mexico. They're gonna deny it," said Avalos.
All but for US citizenship, Avalos is as American as apple pie.
"Spanish is a little harder. Certain words, I can speak it but I'm not fluent," he said.
He grew up in Houston, Texas, where he built a life and family.
"I have my life over there. Everything had to change overnight. I have a house that might lose, a house for my kid that is going to be gone," Avalos said.
He's a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,or DACA. Avalos, a Mexican national, thought he arrived in the U.S. as a 1-year-old. In August 2022, at the age of 28, he intended to begin a pathway to US citizenship — but it turned into a road to nowhere.
"They pulled my birth certificate. They gave me everything else, but my birth certificate. That's when she asked, 'Are you 100% sure you never came back to Mexico?'" said Avalos.
His previous lawyers told him to apply for a visa at the US Consul General in Juarez. His wife, a natural-born American, could sponsor him. But there, officials revealed information he says he never knew.
"They denied him for the simple fact that we didn't know that in 2002, they took him back to Mexico to register his adoption under his stepfather's last name," Martinez said.
Avalos' mother took him across the border when he was 6 or 7, which he says he doesn't remember. It was to get records for his adoption to a man he always thought was his biological father. Avalos called it a double gut punch.
"And they were just like, 'There's nothing you can do. Just turn in the paperwork. So basically, say this, turn everything and if we deny you, OK, you're on your own,'" Avalos said.
Under U.S. immigration law, if you cross into the country illegally, leave and re-enter, you're barred from returning for 10 years. There are no exceptions, not even for children.
Avalos' family got a new attorney, who called his Congressman for help.
"The first thing that we have to conclude is that we're talking about three people, not just a person," said Rep. Al Green.
Rep. Green says Avalos' best shot at coming home is appealing to the Department of Homeland Security for an exemption called "humanitarian parole." The Texas Democrat has appealed on his behalf.
"And he went there to get a visa so that he could come back into the country lawfully, under the advice of people who were capable, competent, qualified and assumed that this was an appropriate thing to do," Green said.
Green adds this is a textbook example of how law-abiding people can quickly fall through the cracks of immigration law.
"The laws are such that they have to be changed, and changing the laws will require doing something more than building a wall," Green said.
The family currently celebrates life's milestones in brief trips back and forth to Mexico.
"It breaks our heart because Noah is getting to the age where he's starting to recognize, 'Hey, I just saw you in person and now I'm just seeing you on FaceTime. Why aren't you here? Why aren't you playing with me?'" Martinez said.
For now they're in separate countries. The bills Avalos used to cover as a contractor in the U.S. are piling up and he can't provide.
"It is really stressful because, well, I don't see her. I used to see her every morning; kiss her every morning. Now I just go to sleep. It's just me by myself. I can't see my baby. I can't touch him all the time. I want to. I miss him. He talks a lot more, so I'm missing that," Avalos said.
They hope Uncle Sam will re-open the door to their American dream.

Session Barn Roof Party: Lost Lakes // Josh Harty
August 09, 2019 | $25 | Buy Tickets
Join us to help raise funds for our roof with Lost Lakes and Josh Harty on Friday, August 9th!! We'll even bring the grill out like old times!
Lost Lakes is a collaboration between Corey Mathew Hart and Paul Mitch. The two met during a songwriting competition held by a local radio station. It wasn't until they returned for a duets portion of the follow year's competition that Corey saw Paul play bass and singing harmonies. The first time Corey and Paul played together, they clicked musically and personally. The collaboration has grown over the years, developing into a strong songwriting and production team with a focus on well-crafted tunes and tight vocal harmonies. Lost Lakes' self-titled debut record bears witness to their talents and the fact the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts.
Recorded over a 9 month period, the recording process was a labor of love. Paul and Corey produced the record and enlisted percussionist Shane Leonard (Field Report, The Stray Birds) along with longtime bandmate Rusty Lee on keyboards to fill out the sound. The project was recorded in a shared warehouse space called the Dojo. Many of the basic tracks were recorded live in 2 separate sessions with overdubs done in small Thursday night sessions. Being fairly porous to the outside elements, the temperature in the Dojo ranged from 41 degrees to well over 100 over the course of the project, adding a sense of adventure to the sessions. Being able to take their time for this project gave Corey and Paul a lot of freedom to try different sounds and arrangements for songs they have been playing live for a couple of years. With no pressure, no deadline, and a giant warehouse space filled with eclectic gear, the two managed to create a record of the highest quality.
When it came time to mix the album, Corey and Paul called on an old acquaintance, Grammy award winning engineer Justin Guip. The two had met Guip years ago when they opened for The Amy Helm (daughter of Levon Helm) at a Barn show in Spring Green, WI. Guip also happened to have just finished a record with the Stray Birds that Shane Leonard played percussion on. The past and present collided, and the timing couldn't have been better. Corey and Paul approached Guip about mixing the record and he was very excited about the songs and tracks that were laid down at the Dojo. Guip's aesthetic greatly aligned with the vision that Paul and Corey had for the record, and the result is a compelling masterpiece.
=========================================================
Josh Harty is a messenger. A North Dakota songsmith. "A true son of the heartland whose bold defiance and riveting delivery channel the essence of American music" (Glide Magazine). As the son of a small town police chief and preacher, grandson of a South Dakota polka legend, Josh grew up performing with his dad at every Lutheran Church, Eagles Club, Moose Lodge and Rotary Club in the Upper Midwest. Having released several internationally-aclaimed albums and performing across the US & Europe, it is clear that Harty was born and bred for this. His live shows prove that good storytelling combined with journeyman musicianship is as authentic as music gets.
When Josh is not on the road, he resides in Madison, WI where he enjoys carpentry projects of all kinds and is an active member of the local music scene. Josh is also a long-time member of Folk Alliance and a founding member of The Wisconsin Room: an organization that promotes WI artists to an international audience and brings world- class music to Madison from elsewhere in the form of intimate gigs at various venues.

Campus Reform | Students removed 'racist' Catholic student gov. president, but replacement turns out to be 'antisemitic'
Students removed 'racist' Catholic student gov. president, but replacement turns out to be 'antisemitic'
Ahmad Daraldik, the new student senate president at FSU, has a history of comments that students say are antisemitic.
Daraldik was appointed to replace former president Jack Denton, who was impeached just last week for expressing views about transgenderism and abortion that aligned with his Catholic faith.
Saturday, June 13, 2020 7:00 AM
After a supposedly "racist" student senate president was removed for expressing his Catholic views, a petition to remove his replacement has amassed almost 3,500 signatures in just a week.
Last Friday, the Florida State University Student Senate voted to remove Jack Denton from office due to his comments in a group chat of Catholic students. Denton was warning fellow Catholics that support of Black Lives Matter and the ACLU effectively supports causes that are not in line with traditional Catholic doctrine.
Ahmad Daraldik, a Muslim student born in Palestine, was selected to replace Denton. But now there are calls for Daraldik to step down himself. Soon after Daraldik took office, screenshots surfaced of "anti-Semitic" posts from Daraldik's Instagram account.
[RELATED: Berkeley student senator disavowed over Christian beliefs responds to calls to RESIGN]
"We need diversity and having someone who is Muslim as senate president to represent Muslim students is a great step," one concerned student posted on Facebook. "However we need someone who will represent everyone and Ahmad does not like Jewish people or Israel. This is not okay and he shouldn't be senate president. Photos from 2013 and a photo from 2019 show his views have not changed."
The post contained screenshots allegedly from Daraldik's Instagram account including language like "stupid jew" and "#fuckisrael." Daraldik later confirmed that at least one of the posts in question came from his account, and did not deny any others.
FSU students put together a petition to send to campus administration to yet again impeach a sitting senate president, the petition has so far amassed more than 3,400 signatures.
"Ahmad Daraldik, the current FSU Senate President, made anti-semitic remarks in multiple social media posts," reads the petition "These posts were exposed right after the previous president was removed from his position for transphobic remarks. [Daraldik] says, 'Fuck Israel' 'Stupid Jews' and compares the Israeli government to Nazi Germany's genocide on the jews. These anti-semitic remarks are not welcomed on FSU's campus, in the United States, and most importantly, on this EARTH! There is no justification for his remarks, and needs to be removed from his position of power."
[RELATED: Students remove "racist" Catholic student body president for not supporting leftist groups]
Daraldik released a video explaining his recent trip in August to Palestine, and why he chose to post a picture with the caption "#fucktheoccupation #fuckisrael."
He explained that he posted the caption after having a negative experience at an Israeli checkpoint when traveling to the West Bank. He doubled down on his words.
"I was dehumanized, I was humiliated, and I was upset," said Daraldik. "So yes, I took a photo with the statue of Nelson Mandela given to my people from the people of South Africa as a symbol of hope to end the apartheid. I made the post on Instagram to release my frustrations about the situation that persecutes my family, my friends, and all those considered second class humans in our own country. What would you have done if you were in that situation?"
"I'm a Palestinian Muslim American. These are things that make me who I am, things that allow me to see the world from different perspectives, and for what it truly is. Getting defamed on a Facebook page due to the fact that I expressed my frustrations with a racist system that continues to commit human rights violations and was created through the genocide of my people -- my people, the Palestinian people, is to say the least, upsetting."
I was standing for what is right, and I will not change my views on reality to comfort someone who has not lived through what I had to." Daraldik went on to condemn the Israeli government as a "racist system.'
Cindy Chamides, president of Noles for Israel told Campus Reform that while Daraldik's experience may be valid, his words are unacceptable. "I'm not questioning Ahmad's personal experiences or his right to free speech. Countless Israelis and Palestinians have traumatic experiences from the conflict, (including some of my Israeli friends)," said Chamides.
"What I can't accept is someone elected to represent students saying and writing things that are blatantly antisemitic," Chamides added. "For those of us who are descended from Holocaust survivors, it's especially painful for an elected leader to lie about and exploit what our families went through for his own political agenda. He needs to take responsibility, step down, and learn from his mistakes."

Out of the Blue (No Looking Back) (conocida en español como Caído del cielo, Sin nada que perder o Fuera de control) es una película dirigida en 1980 por Dennis Hopper, que también interpreta uno de los personajes principales. Aunque fue nominada para el festival de Cannes y el crítico Jonathan Rosenbaum la consideró una de las 15 mejores películas de los años 80, fracasó en taquilla.

Retrata a una adolescente punk (interpretada por Linda Manz), hija de dos personas a la deriva (Dennis Hopper y Sharon Farrell). El padre, según Dennis Hopper, "es en lo que se habría convertido el personaje de Easy Rider 10 años más tarde".

El título viene de la canción "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)", de Neil Young. Out of the Blue estuvo prohibida en el Reino Unido hasta 1987.
