RNLI St. Helier Inshore lifeboat called out to vessel taking on water
Call Out:
No of People on Board:
WNW F3
Lifeboat Returned:
49° 06.75N, 02° 05.89W
The Inshore lifeboat launched following a report via the French Coastguard of a vessel taking on water south of the Island.
The 12m motorboat with 1 person on board initially reported that the bilge pumps were containing the ingress but as the situation deteriorated so it became clear that assistance would be required and so the Inshore lifeboat launched carrying a high capacity pump.
The Inshore lifeboat was on scene within a matter of minutes where it was discovered that the casualty had subsequently lost both power and steering. With the lifeboat's pump handling the water ingress, the ILB took the casualty in tow to St. Helier where she was lifted out of the water.
The lifeboat then returned to the station where she was made ready for her next call.

Monster Monster is the second album by American rock band The Almost, released on November 3, 2009.

Background
The Almost released their debut album, Southern Weather in 2007. On November 9, 2008, it was announced that the band had parted ways with drummer Kenny Bozich. Later that month, the band released a holiday-themed EP, No Gift to Bring.

Recording
On April 29, 2009, the band arrived at Dark Horse Recording studio in Franklin, Tennessee. The recording process was documented with tweets, a live Stickam stream, and blogs. Like the band's debut Southern Weather, Monster Monster was produced by Aaron Sprinkle. Due to the band's lack of a drummer at the time, lead singer Aaron Gillespie played drums for the record. After the recording and mastering of the record, Gillespie stated, "This now feels like a real band. Everyone gave up a piece of his own agenda for the good of the final result. And that's how you end up with something special. They supplied the bricks and we built this house together." On May 7, a studio update was posted online, followed by another on May 26.

Release
The first single from the album is "Hands" and it was released onto radio stations October 2, 2009, and it has cracked the Top 5 on the Christian Rock charts. When speaking of touring, Gillespie noted that "[The Almost] plan on hitting it as hard as we can." Vilardi concurred with "We'd like to leave and not come back for two years." In October and November, the group supported the Used on their headlining US tour. On November 23, 2009, a music video was released for "Lonely Wheel". In February and March 2010, the band performed at Soundwave festival in Australia. The third track on the album, "No I Don't," debuted on the Christian Rock chart on March 5.

China, trade wars dent Alcoa's demand hopes
Global aluminum inventories expected to shrink to 'levels not seen in more than a decade'
Alcoa Corp. (AA)
By Claudia Assis, MarketWatch
Bloomberg News/Landov
A storage tank at an Alcoa Corp. alumina refinery in Australia.
Alcoa Corp. expects lower demand growth worldwide for aluminium even amid dwindling inventories of the metal, thanks to a double whammy of trade tensions and macroeconomic headwinds, it said late Wednesday.
Shares of Alcoa /zigman2/quotes/200686102/composite AA -3.10% fell in the extended session after the aluminium and alumina producer posted a narrower-than-expected second quarter loss but raised the concerns about demand — and the implications for the global economy. The stock was down 2.4% premarket Thursday.

Alcoa said it estimates global aluminum demand growth for 2019 between 1.25% and 2.25% this year, down from a previous estimate of growth between 2% and 3%.
That's thanks to "lower demand in both China and the world ex-China due to trade tensions and macroeconomic headwinds," it said in a statement.
Aluminum inventories as measured by days of consumption continue to decline and are expected "to reach levels not seen in more than a decade, since before the global financial crisis in 2008" this year, the company said.

Alcoa continues to expect an aluminium deficit and an alumina surplus for 2019. For bauxite, it upped its expectations of a global surplus, to between 13 million and 17 million metric tons, an increase from the previous quarter's full-year estimate of 8 million to 12 million metric tons.
That increase is due to higher production in Guinea and Southeast Asia, only partially offset by higher demand in China, Alcoa said.
Alcoa said it lost $402 million, or $2.17 a share, in the quarter, versus earnings of $10 million, or 5 cents a share, in the year-ago period.

Adjusted for one-time items, the company lost $2 million, or a penny a share, versus earnings of $1.17 a share a year ago. Revenue fell to $2.7 billion from $3.6 billion a year ago.
Analysts polled by FactSet had expected an adjusted loss of 19 cents a share on sales of $2.7 billion.
Alcoa shares ended the regular trading day down 0.7%. The stock is down 13% this year, contrasting with gains of 19% and 17% for the S&P 500 index /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +0.03% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average /zigman2/quotes/210598065/realtime DJIA -0.03% .

Why it's important to check out and relax by yourself every once in a while.
College is an extremely busy time for everyone. We have to balance the higher demands of our classes and put real thought into our work instead of just following the formulas we followed in high school like our best friend, the five-paragraph essay. We have to study for the week prior to all of our exams instead of skimming our notes briefly the night before. We feel like we need to spend every free second with the people around us because of the pressure to make those lifelong friends. We forget about the solace and peace we easily find when we carve out a little me time. Finding time for yourself, whether you want to take a nap or wander campus because the weather is so perfect or read a book or just veg out and binge a little Netflix, is so essential to not going crazy. It absolutely relieves stress and increases productivity. It resets your brain and calms you down.
It's easy to forget about the calming effects of spending time with just yourself and it's definitely hard to convince yourself that it's okay to slow down and you won't miss out on anything drastic or important. I'm among the many who have just started college and forgotten the necessity of spending time by myself and with myself and I didn't even notice until I realized that I haven't read for pleasure or written any poetry or short stories since I got to Hamilton. And I mean, sure I've squeezed in a few episode of the West Wing on Netflix here and there between running around campus, but I haven't had a truly great hour long binge session where I can usually finish the majority of a 22-episode season.
Today, I decided to just spend an hour with myself and my thoughts and a blank page in my favorite notebook. That one hour rivals the some of the best experiences I've had since coming to Hamilton. I sat on a couch with my favorite Spotify playlist and the feeling of my favorite blue pen ready to write whatever popped into my head and about any of the plethora of things that inspire me on this campus daily.
I wanted to write about the amazing feat of being here and the feeling I have walking around campus and it took a while for my rusty writers' brain to kick in, but once it did, I was finally able to put words to the feelings and describe my favorite moment of the day when the sky is perfectly illuminated and the clouds against the clear blue sky are the perfect pink of my room back home.
It's important to dedicate an hour, at least a couple times a week to spending some me time. To check out of the crazy busy world and relax and do your favorite things. To listen to music, to write, to read, to nap, to watch Netflix. To just be with yourself.

Film Poetry Festival at Millfield, June 2016
I was delighted to return to Millfield for a third time in June, this time to judge the student Film Poetry Festival. Thank you to James and the team at Millfield for the invitation – this was an exciting project and it was thrilling to see the range of creative approaches. The quality of the film poems was astonishingly high and extremely impressive, and the students' enthusiasm and passion came across. Also impressive was the subject matter explored in these films – challenging personal emotional topics, and active engagement with political issues and the big questions. An introduction written by James Baddock (Head of English, Drama and Media) is below, and the winning films have been uploaded to the PoetryFilm website for viewing.
Film Poems
Always ready to embrace innovation and experimentation, this year the English and Media teaching teams at Millfield School in Somerset took their students down an exciting new path, that of film poems. In April, Zata Banks visited Millfield to introduce the art form to an appreciative audience of A Level English Literature and Media Studies students. Subsequently, film poems became the theme of our summer Poetry Festival; pupils in Years 9, 10 and the Lower Sixth were invited to make their own film poems, individually or in groups. Many used smartphones and tablets to film, edit and present their work, and several made good use of our media studio and equipment to realise their ideas. The results were diverse and inspiring! Submissions included delightful stop-motion animations, time-lapse mood pieces, striking text-on-screen films and performances of original poetry.
This venture was an experiment for Millfield, and one we are keen to repeat and develop! Film poems unlocked our students' imaginations, and gave them an opportunity to express their ideas in exhilarating combinations of words, images, sound and music. My thanks go to Zata for inspiring and championing our students' work, some of which is presented here. All of the pieces were created from scratch by the students themselves. I hope you enjoy them.

Milestone event at the House of Lords, 22 June 2016
Baroness Prashar (seated), Yogesh Patel and Lord Parekh presenting ZB with gift and accolade following the keynote speech.
By Dr. Debjani Chatterjee, MBE
LONDON: On the eve of the momentous Brexit referendum, 22 June 2016, the House of Lords saw another colorful and history making occasion for English language poets of the Indian diaspora. The evening was hosted by Lord Bhikhu Parekh, a distinguished Indian diaspora non-fiction writer and a patron of the non-profit Word Masala Foundation and poet Yogesh Patel, the founder-Director of WMF. The ambitious event was Patel's brainchild and was tightly packed with speeches, book launches, poetry readings, award ceremonies, slide presentation and networking. It attracted some sixty people, including well-established and rising poets, poetry publishers and journalists.
In his welcome address, Patel stated his intention of bringing together and honoring eminent Indian diaspora poets from Britain and the US, as well as British publishers who support diaspora poetry. He announced a few exciting publishing initiatives, among these, talks with the prestigious 'Poems on the Underground' project, who were seriously considering contributions picked up from the Word Masala Award Winners 2015 anthology launched at the event and published by Patel's Skylark Publications website.
Patel was particularly proud of a publishing contract for Isle of Man-based Usha Kishore whose next poetry collection will be brought out by Eyewear Publishing, announced with great flair by Dr. Todd Swift, the publisher.
Patel, who omitted himself from the readings, is known for his literary activism and publishing, and is also a fine trilingual poet and translator. Just a month ago he received an 'International Accolade for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry and for Promoting Poetry' at Vatayan's annual award ceremony.
Zata Banks treated the gathering to an inspirational keynote speech on the 'creative opportunities at the intersections of poetry and film'. Banks is the founder of Poetry Film, an influential research art project that was launched in 2002 and has an archive collection of over 1000 films.
Lord Parekh and Baroness Usha Prashar presented awards, first to the American poets: Meena Alexander, Usha Akella (based in Austin, Texas), and, in absentia, Saleem Peeradina and Pramila Venkateswaran; and then to British poets: Shanta Acharya, Siddhartha Bose, Kavita Jindal, Daljit Nagra, Usha Kishore, Reginald Massey and Debjani Chatterjee. Word Masala's first Crowd-Funding Award was given to Mona Dash to support the publication of her next poetry collection. All the award-winning poets read briefly from their work, accompanied by a slide-show highlighting their achievements and poetry.
Parekh and Prashar commented on the excellence of the readings and the high quality of the poetry. Parekh spoke of the 'immense pool of talent' that is contemporary Indian diaspora poets, and called for a mutually beneficial meeting of two great literatures: English literature and Indian diaspora literature in English, which itself is enriched by its heritage of multilingual Indian literature. He encouraged diaspora writers to capitalise more on their experience of migration and of dual cultural heritage. He urged British publishers to consider publishing and publicising diaspora writers' poetry and suggested opportunities for cooperation with Indian publishers.
Word Masala awards were given to seven British poetry presses: Arc Publications, Emma Press, Eyewear Publishing, Faber & Faber, Limehouse Books, Nine Arches Press and Valley Press. Three poetry books were launched at the event: Glass Scissors, a debut collection by writer-publisher Bobby Nayyar of Limehouse Books; Saleem Peeradina's collection Final Cut, from Valley Press; and the anthology, Word Masala Award Winners 2015, edited by Yogesh Patel and published by his Skylark Publications.
The event was a milestone for Indian diaspora poets as it represents a pioneering attempt by WMF at trans-Atlantic connections. While there have been some exceptional achievements in publication and major prizes by poets, significant gaps and omissions still remain. And there is a need for more such global cooperation that will certainly benefit Indian diaspora poets and the wider world of poetry.
Dr. Debjani Chatterjee has had over sixty books published in various countries and won many prizes for poetry, literary translation and writing for children. She is Word Masala's Consultant Editor, Pratibha India's Associate Editor, Gitanjali and Beyond's Advisory Editor, Survivors Poetry's Patron, The Healing Word's Founder, and Associate Royal Literary Fellow.
Word Masala Foundation takes Diasporic poets to the mainstream
Press Release copied below describing the special event at The House of Lords, London, on 22 June 2016.
'It was an inspirational evening-truly wonderful to meet and hear such remarkable poets' – Baroness Prashar.
'The event went splendidly well and brought together several interesting people. Yogesh, you have every reason to be proud of yourself' – Lord Parekh, Patron, Word Masala Foundation.
London-based non-profit Word Masala Foundation's innovative vision was very evident in its major celebration of Indian diaspora poetry on 22 June 2016 at the House of Lords. Poets received awards for excellence in poetry and the British publishers reaching out to the South-Asian diaspora internationally received awards as the Champion of the South-Asian Diaspora Poetry allowing them to be distinctly proud for the work they are doing to include BAME authors and poets in their publishing programme.
In his welcome address, Yogesh explained that it was an occasion to bring together to honour selected Indian diaspora poets from Britain and the USA, and British publishers, large and small, who have brought out work by diaspora poets and are committed to giving fair consideration to work submitted by such poets in the interest of both cultural diversity and the highest literary standards. He also announced a few exciting publishing projects, and then introduced Zata Banks, founder of Poetry Film, whose inspirational keynote speech was about 'creative opportunities at the intersections of poetry and film'.
Yogesh Patel, Foundation's founder-director and poet, said, "The diaspora writers have a huge problem finding publishers and agents. There is a general apathy against them, and Page 2 Word Masala Foundation takes Diasporic poets to the mainstream deep-rooted attitudes deny them a fair opportunity. The Foundation will strive to bring the diasporic writers to the mainstream by working with publishers and other organisations active in the British literary field, and give them the recognition they deserve." Lord Parekh, the Foundations patron, and Baroness Prashar presented awards to two American poets Meena Alexander and Usha Akella who had flown in from the USA, especially for this occasion, and in absentia, to Saleem Peeradina and Pramila Venkateswaran . The British poets receiving awards were Shanta Acharya, Siddhartha Bose, Kavita A. Jindal, Daljit Nagra, Usha Kishore, Reginald Massey, Bobby Nayyar and Debjani Chatterjee. Mona Dash, a London-based poet whose novel was just published in India, received Foundation's first Crowdfunding award with the contract of publication with Skylark Publications, Yogesh's publishing arm. To introduce the quality of their work, poets were showcased with the brief reading from their work, to the accompaniment of an excellent slideshow highlighting each speaker and poet's poetry and achievements. The Foundation is about taking diasporic writers to the next level.
The Word Masala Awards are conferred on published South-Asian diaspora poets with a substantial quality of work, upholding their achievements to the highest standards, akin to 'Lifetime Achievement'.

We had a very good visit to Walk Mill on Sunday 10th May..
Gowey, the surrounding land around its wildlife.
We then went for a walk along the river and through the woods to the lake.
We stayed for lunch which was all home made and the bread of course was made using Walk Mill flour – a delicious end to a lovely day! Well worth a visit if you're in the area but otherwise don't forget we stock their flour and it's always THE flour of choice fro Langley Loaves!

Henry Lawson
Australia has always been a place where writers were valued, and where writers were often also quite adventurous. I've introduced you to Adam Lindsay Gordon, who preferred to be known as a daring horseman than as a poet (and he is indeed remembered for both) and A.B. "Banjo" Paterson, who celebrated life in the bush. Another of the important early writers in Australia was Henry Lawson.
Unlike Paterson and Gordon, Lawson was as famous for his short stories as for his poems. The son of Norwegian immigrants who came to Australia in 1855 during the gold rush, Lawson was born in 1867. His family might most generously be described as dysfunctional and generally in financial straits, his education was uneven and frequently interrupted, and a serious illness when he was 10 left him partially deaf. He was brilliant but usually lonely. Both because of the hardships he experienced as he grew up, and because of his experiences as an adult during a particularly horrific drought, Lawson's works and his view of the outback tend not to be as upbeat as those of Paterson in particular.
Lawson was immensely popular in his day and is still considered one of Australia's greatest writers. Reading poems and short stories aloud was a common entertainment in the mining camps, cattle camps, and small towns of the late 1800s, and Lawson's works were among the most commonly read. The humorous short story "The Loaded Dog" was among the most popular then and today is considered an Australian classic.
While they disagreed in their estimation of the bush, and occasionally sparred in verse on the topic, Lawson shared with Paterson an admiration for the hard-working, give-it-a-go Australians who people their world. That admiration is reflected in the following poem, which also reminds us that Lawson was living during an era when Australia was still being opened up and settled.
An Australian Advertisement
WE WANT the man who will lead the van,
The man who will pioneer.
We have no use for the gentleman,
Or the cheating Cheap-Jack here;
We have no room for the men who shirk
The sweat of the brow. Condemn
The men who are frightened to look for work
And funk when it looks for them.
We'll honour the man who can't afford
To wait for a job that suits,
But sticks a swag on his shoulders broad
And his feet in blucher boots,
And tramps away o'er the ridges far
And over the burning sand
To look for work where the stations are
In the lonely Western land.
He'll brave the drouth and he'll brave the rain,
And fight his sorrows down,
And help to garden the inland plain
And build the inland town;
And he'll be found in the coming years
With a heart as firm and stout,
An honoured man with the pioneers
Who lead the people out.

Cone Snails
I do a lot of educational writing, including textbooks, but one of my favorite assignments in this line of work is the student reader. These readers are single-subject books for kids to read independently, and because they are intended to encourage reading, they need to have topics that will appeal to kids. I just finished writing one about dangerous things on the Great Barrier Reef. I included sharks and rip currents, of course, but most of the reader was taken up with things that are venomous–and the list is pretty impressive. The stonefish is the most venomous fish in the world. The box jelly (aka sea wasp) is the most venomous jellyfish in the world. And the list goes on.
As an avid collector of seashells, I also included one of my favorite shells–the cone shell– which I've had the good fortune to only encounter in shell shops. The snail that occupies the most handsome of the many possible cone shells is also among the deadliest. It reminded me of why the rules for reef walking include wearing shoes and not picking anything up. If you want to see the cone snail in action, check out this National Geographic video. (And while the venomous harpoon system is amazing, the size of the snail's mouth is also pretty stunning.)
So remember: NEVER pick one of these up if you're on the Great Barrier Reef.

Clancy of the Overflow
In the poem "The Man from Snowy River," as well as in the movie, a character named Clancy appears. One line in the poem states that "Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand." This refers to another of Patterson's poems: "Clancy of the Overflow," which is almost as iconic as "The Man from Snowy River." If you see the movie "Snowy River," you'll hear a line about the sunlit plains being a "vision splendid," which is actually lifted from the "Clancy" poem. I've always loved this poem, because like Paterson, I too have occasionally fancied that I'd like to change with Clancy.
I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better
Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago,
He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him,
Just "on spec", addressed as follows, "Clancy, of The Overflow."
And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected,
(And I think the same was written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar)
Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it:
"Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are."
In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy
Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go;
As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing,
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know.
And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him
In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars,
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended,
And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars.
I am sitting in my dingy little office, where a stingy
Ray of sunlight struggles feebly down between the houses tall,
And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city
Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all
And in place of lowing cattle, I can hear the fiendish rattle
Of the tramways and the buses making hurry down the street,
And the language uninviting of the gutter children fighting,
Comes fitfully and faintly through the ceaseless tramp of feet.
And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me
As they shoulder one another in their rush and nervous haste,
With their eager eyes and greedy, and their stunted forms and weedy,
For townsfolk have no time to grow, they have no time to waste.
And I somehow rather fancy that I'd like to change with Clancy,
Like to take a turn at droving where the seasons come and go,
While he faced the round eternal of the cash-book and the journal —
But I doubt he'd suit the office, Clancy, of The Overflow.

Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine all but confirmed Saturday that he will defend his slam dunk contest title at all-star weekend Feb. 13.
"Oh, yeah, I don't know," LaVine said. "It's a little bit of a surprise still. I don't know. I'm going with maybe."
LaVine burst onto the national spotlight with his 41-inch vertical leap in last year's event. He became the youngest champion in the event's 30 years, beating Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Orlando's Victor Oladipo and Brooklyn's Mason Plumlee.
A year ago, LaVine was officially announced as a participant in the slam dunk contest 18 days before the NBA all-star weekend event. Tuesday will mark the 18th day before this year's event at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
LaVine, who has 23 dunks in games this season, said Saturday he hasn't yet practiced any dunks for the event. "I will probably start practices soon, if it does happen," he said. "I think I have enough dunks saved to where I know I can go out there and put on a good show."
In preseason, LaVine said, "If Wiggins is in it, I'm for sure in it."
LaVine said Saturday that there won't be a teammate twosome in the event in Wiggins' hometown.
"Yeah, he ain't doing that," LaVine said . "I just put that out there. He don't want to, so … maybe he don't want to lose, I don't know. I mean Andrew has some stuff that we be just messing around, and I can't do it. He can definitely go up there and win one, too."
However, Wiggins, who has a team-high 35 dunks this year, and Karl-Anthony Towns will likely be a part of the Rising Star Challenge.
Timberwolves interim head coach Sam Mitchell said center Nikola Pekovic's numbers show he still has to work himself into shape.
After missing 35 games due to right Achillies surgery to start the season, Pekovic has played five of the last six games within an 18-minute restriction per game.
"How many games has he played? Do I really need to answer that," Mitchell said to the media before Sunday's matinee versus the Phoenix Suns at Target Center. "I mean you guys give me a hard time because you say I'm kind of prickly, but Pek has not played in a year. After (five) games and we don't get to practice because we play every other day, you've ask me has Pek scraped off the rust? He is limited to 18 minutes a game, and I'm the person that's prickly. Did that answer your question?"
Not directly.
"I don't think in 18 minutes in four games he's going to scrape it off," Mitchell said.
After making his season debut Jan. 6, Pekovic rested his troublesome ankle Jan. 12 vs. Oklahoma City and played the next night at Houston. He has averaged 7.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 48 percent shooting across one start and five total games.
Guard Kevin Martin was expected to play the Suns on Sunday, Mitchell said. Martin was ill and missed Friday's game at Oklahoma City.
The Timberwolves are on the verge of setting a new NBA record that has stood for seven seasons.
Minnesota has made fewer three-pointers than their opponent in 21 consecutive games, which matches the Philadelphia 76ers (2007-08) for the longest run since the long-range shot was introduced in 1979, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Wolves will try to stop the streak Tuesday night against Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder at Target Center.
The Thunder are 26-12 but don't shoot a ton of threes. OKC makes an average of 7.6 thees per game, which is above the Wolves' league-low mark of 4.9 per game.
DIENG ON KG TIPS
Wolves third-year center Gorgui Dieng said the latest lesson from 21-year veteran Kevin Garnett is creating space on offense.
"When you see our plays, the bigs handle the ball a lot on the elbow," Dieng explained. "Most of the time you get people are going to be on you and you don't have space. He just showed me how to create space and make sure people don't lean on me. I did it four or five games, but last game I got a call. It is what is. I'm going to keep doing it."
Losers of six straight games, the Wolves (12-26) are 0-5 in January, with six of their remaining 11 games this month against teams with winning records.
6 January //
Timberwolves forward Shabazz Muhammad scored a season-high 20 points in a season-most 34 minutes in Monday's 109-99 loss to Philadelphia.
"I've been scoring the ball really well and putting extra work in on my jumpshot and my floater, stuff like that," Muhammad said after Wednesday's shoot around before the night game against Denver at Target Center. "It's falling right now, and it's really good."
In his last three games, Muhammad has shot 62 percent from the field (18 of 29). He had 15 points against Detroit on New Year's Eve and 12 points against Milwaukee on Saturday.
Scoring is one thing, but ball movement has been the overarching emphasis for the Wolves.
"I think we have to do a better job of swinging the ball on the weak side," Muhammad said. "It's so stagnant sometimes and we've struggled scoring the ball and that is something that coach has been talking to us with.
"(Interim coach Sam Mitchell) made a statement that we really need to start swinging the ball to the corners because I'm sitting there also for a wide open three," Muhammad added.
The corners are one spot Muhammad resided in during an overtime shooting session at 11 p.m. Tuesday night at Mayo Clinic Square practice facility.
18 December //
Friday night's Timberwolves-Kings game at Target Center will be the first official meeting between centers Karl-Anthony Towns and DeMarcus Cousins.
But the two former Kentucky centers played a lot of pick-up games last summer in Lexington.
"We are both very competitive, so it's just going to be another chance to compete against each other," Towns said after shoot-around Friday morning.
Cousins, a six-year veteran, didn't play in their first scheduled NBA matchup on Nov. 27, a 101-91 Timberwolves win. The rookie Towns had seven points and eight rebounds as the Wolves improved to 8-8.
Towns was impressed with Cousins from on their summer workouts on their old stomping grounds.
"He's very talented," Towns said. "Just got to play physical with him and just got to use your speed against him. You are talking about one of the best centers in this league."
Mitchell repeats how close the Wolves are to wins
9 December //
For the third consecutive day, Timberwolves interim coach Sam Mitchell repeated that his team has been competitive in all but one game this season.
With close games, one play can be isolated as a catalyst for a loss. On Wednesday, Mitchell said one of those plays was Chris Paul's three-pointer before halftime in the 110-106 loss Monday to the Los Angeles Clippers. The play and missed opportunities down the stretch — the turnover on the inbound pass to Andrew Wiggins in the last minute — put the Wolves at 8-12 and on a four-game losing streak.
"I don't think there is anything that we have to put our finger in the dam, and that the dam is breaking," Mitchell said Wednesday.
If the Wolves lose Wednesday to the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the worst record in the Western Conference at 3-1, there will likely be more than one thing to point blame.
But Mitchell said some of those isolated plays can be missing out on loose balls or careless turnovers.
"I look at the scores throughout the NBA and I look at some of the young teams getting beat and that's to be expected from some of the young teams to take their lumps and get beat, but our guys thus far, knock on wood, they've been in every game I would say except for one," Mitchell said.
The presumed one game Mitchell is referring is the 129-116 loss to still-undefeated Golden State on Nov. 12.
Kobe offered pointers to Shabazz last year
After a game last season, Lakers' legend Kobe Bryant offered Timberwolves wing Shabazz Muhammad a few tips, including one about his go-to shot.
"He was just like, 'I love the left hook. Next year get the counter because they are really biting on that left hook,' " Muhammad recalled after Wednesday's shoot around. "I was like, 'you're right.'
"That is one of my childhood heroes, and for him to say something to me I thought that was pretty neat," Muhammad added.
Muhammad hopes to offer Bryant some kind words after Wednesday's game, Bryant's final visit to Target Center before retiring at season's end.
"Hopefully, I can say something to him tonight and just thank him for how he has carried himself throughout the league and has been one of the best players in this league."
Paul and Redick will play vs Wolves
Los Angeles Clippers guards Chris Paul and JJ Redick will play Monday night against the Timberwolves at Target Center, coach Doc Rivers said.
"Wow," a reporter said after Rivers' announcement.
"That's what I said," Rivers replied.
Paul (rib) had missed the previous two games, while Redick (ankle) missed the 103-101 win over Orlando on Saturday.
Paul was listed as out Monday afternoon, while Redick was questionable.
Garnett reflects on milestones
Kevin Garnett is on the verge of another career milestone.
The 20-year veteran is on the cusp of becoming the NBA's all-time leading defensive rebounder. He has 11,399, which is second behind Karl Malone (11,406). Tim Duncan is third (11,036).
In Saturday's 109-103 loss to Portland, Garnett scored five points and reached 26,000 career points, good for 15th on the NBA's all-time list.
Back to boards, Garnett is averaging 5.2 rebounds per game this season and could break the record in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Target Center.
"When I hear it, it's like holy — crap," Garnett said during Monday's shoot around. "I can't believe that; it's a lot. Up until then, when I'm in the game, I'm in the moment."
Garnett said his "dope milestones" will be fodder, for instance, when he's sitting at a summer BBQ with friend and former Boston and Brooklyn teammate, Paul Pierce.
"We talk a lot of trash to each other about dumb stuff, friends do, you know," Garnett said. "So it's cool.
"The impact in which you put on the league, leaving your stamp on the game and watching (Kobe Bryant) and watching everybody who's considered elder, leave their mark on the game, Dirk (Nowitzki)," Garnett said. "I think it's dope to come into this league, to have aspirations to want to be something in this league and leave your mark in this league says a lot not only about your work ethic, but your talent and what you were able to become."
Garnett said he's been sharing this season's achievements with assistant coach Ryan Saunders, the son of late head coach Flip Saunders, who drafted Garnett in 1995.
"Me and Ryan are kind of sharing the moment because Flip obviously brought me in here and the situation is a little dear," Garnett said.
Jones learning from Miller as possible D-League call awaits
Rookie Tyus Jones has played in two of the Timberwolves' 18 games this season. In the meantime, he's been trying to learn from veteran point guard Andre Miller and has been treating practices like games.
The Apple Valley native is also prepared for a possible assignment in the NBA Development League.
"If that (D-League) is what they felt was best for me, obviously like I said, it's part of being a professional, and you got to do whatever you can do to help the team out," Jones said.
The Wolves did not send a player to the D-League last season due to the team's plethora of injuries in a 16-66 campaign. In January 2014, Shabazz Muhammad played four games with the Iowa Energy.
Jones credits Miller, a 17-year veteran, with helping him become a professional.
"Just kind of watching him and go through stuff with him on a day-to-day basis and talking with him a lot," Jones said. "He's just leading by example. Getting here early, working hard, especially if you are not playing, put in the time to workout and get up a lot of extra shots and try to better yourself each day and not take a day off."
Jones, who was the Final Four MVP during Duke's national title run last season, said it's difficult to not start, much less not play, for the first time in his career.
"It's something different, but that is a part of the process," Jones said. "It's a part of the league and it's something that you sign up for."

With $25M, travel site Ostrovok emerges as leader in Russian market
Rebecca Grant	 March 27, 2013 9:46 AM
Russians, it seems, are eager to leave Russia and are using the Internet to do it.
Hotel booking site Ostrovok has locked up $25 million to become the top Internet travel company in the Russian-speaking world.
Ostrovok is a straightforward hotel search engine. Users enter in their search destination, dates of travel, and number of people. The system brings up relevant results, which can be filtered by price, rating, location, and features like Internet, free breakfast, and parking. The database contains more than 135,000 hotels in 200 countries around the world.
Over the past year and a half, Ostrovosk has signed direct agreements with nearly 5,000 hotels in the Russian-speaking world and claims to be the leading online hotel network in this region. With $25 million, the plan is to sign over 25,000 new hotels, continue developing new products, and attract as many users as possible from the 300 million people in the Russian-speaking world.
"The persistence, commitment, and strategic vision of the team have allowed them to create a successfully developing company," said well-known investor Yuri Milner, who participated in this round.
Online travel is a hot space in Russia. Some of the biggest deals to emerge from this market involve flight and hotel booking, including Oktogo.ru which recently raised $11 million and was named one of the 50 most innovative companies in the world by Fast Company, and Onetwotrip which stowed away $16 million last October.
This second round of financing makes Ostrovok, which means 'island,' the "best-capitalized online travel company in Russia." General Catalyst Partners led the round, with participation from Frontier Ventures, Accel Partners, Expedia CEO Eric Blachford, Shervin Pishevar, and others. This prestigious lineup of investors were attracted to the potential in the fast-growing Russian market, as well as the site's traction and team.
As Dave McClure put it, during a conference in Moscow last year, "The market looks pretty fucking good in Russia for the next 10 years. So the future is fucking bright! Time to buy sunglasses!" Russians can wear those same sunglasses on the trips they book through Ostrovok.

An Analysis of Nationalism Portrayed During World Cup Championships
Category Football, World Cup
Lastly in 2002 came true, World Cup championship, has done for the first time in 1930 in Uruguay. Since 1930, many countries which have different living standarts, join the championships.
Soccer equals inequalities. Everyone shares the same enthusiasm. Socioeconomic class differences do not matter. And in some cases, like Belgium and Spain, soccer unifies multi-ethnic or multi-national states. What really matter is being the supporter of a winning soccer team and waiting for seeing thier team to make history. During matches, people take to the streets with their flags, singing their national anthems, so they are full of nationalism. Couples stop arguing, politicians forget battles, no worries about the future, because during 90 minutes their coutry becomes the greatest all over the World. Problems can wait another 90 minutes to be solved. The biggest problem of nationalism is forgetting soccer that is just a game and it is a game to help to fell proud of your nation. The ugly face of nationalism come up in this case which is called football hooliganism that is seen in many countries.
This paper will going to argue World Cup that encourages and promotes nationalism and xenophobia.

Nationalism and football are borned together and live together. Nationalism is a feeling of faithfullness for your own country, it is a feeling of being better than other countries and being different in a good sense, than others. This movement was born in the second half of the eighteenth century (J. Perry, 2000); (E. Perry, 2000).
When people look at the history of the soccer, can easily see that soccer was born nearly in the same century with the nationalism. Acoording to Brown (1998), If national identity is the most developed identity of modernity, football is its most popular sport/spectacle (p. 160). So, during World Cup championships, the sociological definition of nationalism breaks down and nationalism becomes a feeling of superiority through sporting victories. Even if someone reject loving nationalism because of its complex definition, becomes nationalist during World Cups. For the reason that, the imagined community depends on the national players. Players can exalt their own nation, so soccer is defined as the national game (Brown, 1998).
Singing is a very important part of the Cups. People sing their national anthems and write songs for their teams. Important songs which were written by Irish and English people are like their national anthems. Irish people use the song called You will never beat the Irish and the English use the song called Football is coming home, to express their nationalism. These are the good and not bothering examples of showing peoples nationalism (Caulkin, 2002 & Brown, 1998).
The relationship between soccer and nationalism becomes dirty in some countries. The real definition of nationalism has changed by some group of people. People who support extreme nationalism and xenophobia are called in different names in different countries. To give examples; Ultras in Italy, cabezas rapadas (skinheads) in Spain, hooligans in England and skinheads in Germany. All this peoples organisations were generated by political causes. By looking at the history of some extreme nationalist groups, someone can easily understand the effect and the importance of these groups; During 80s the ultra phenomenon in Italy became a model for Greece, Yugoslavia, Southern France and some of the Baltic States. Forza Italia (go on Italy!), the name of the political party of Berlusconi was given by the inspiration of a football slogan in 80s. Berlusconi saw soccer one of the most important issue in their country to represent their culture. After the World Cup 1990, candidates of the Forza Italia were called gli azzurri (the Blues), because the uniforms of the Italian national team had blue color. This shows an extereme example of the relationship of nationalist politics and soccer in Italy (Brown, 1998; Duke & Crolley, 1996).
Extreme nationalism and xenophobia started during the Hitlers Nazi regime in Germany. In 30s and 40s soccer played contra the German players was really effected by this regime. Approximately ten years ago, the matches played between England and Germany were seen as wars. England team used war-like language. German people used slogans that were used in the World War II. To give an example; Actung Surrender!, Lets Blitz the Fritz. All the newspapers wrote about England-Germany matches, Two World War and One World Cup because of their point of view about a nation which can express itself in two ways- war and sport. There was also a war-like match between England and Argentina in France World Cup 98 ( Brown, 1998; Ford, 2001).
Since the first World Cup championship done in 1930, the 2002 World Cup, was the best in terms of the concept of nationalism. Although England, known as one of the most nationalist country, was very calm in the 2002 World Cup. None could escape from the idea of nationalism and it was difficult to be anti-nationalist during the matches by painting faces, holding flags and singing national anthems. However, being nationalist was not a bad thing in this championship because there were no extreme nationalist people or hooligans as in the past Cups (http://www.observer.co.uk). The difference between the past World Cups and the 2002 one, was that nationalism existed only in peoples heart and all countries were together to celebrate any success. Swick (2002) mentioned that, the world as seen in reflections from the Cups. To give examples, Norwegians found cheering on Senegalese, Americans were taking interest in the match played between Turkey and Costa Rica, Japanese people painted their faces red, white and green to show their interests in the Italian players etc. None could dream those pictures in somewhere else. It was the first time that a World Cup promoted nationalism in a good way (Swick, 2002).
