Wellington, FL - June 26, 2014 - Canadian Grand Prix rider Diane Creech never pushed her 14-year-old daughter, Vanessa Creech-Terauds, into dressage - it just happened. And mother and daughter couldn't be happier.
Creech-Terauds competed in her first CDI on Memorial Day weekend at the Kentucky Dressage Association (KDA) Warm-Up and Spring Show with great results, in the junior division aboard Finja, a 10-year-old Hanoverian mare (Fabriano-Lara, Wendulan) owned by Ferdinand Haupt.
Last year the pair won the Junior Individual Gold Medal and the Team Ontario Gold Medal at the 2013 Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships in Alberta, Canada, and the teenager said she's lucky to have her mom serve as her trainer and as her show mom.
Her mother also enjoyed excellent results at the KDA show with scores of 73.684 percent in the Intermediaire II and an 70.857 percent in the Intermediaire A on Chrevis Christo, an 11-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding (Lavallo-Chrevi's LaVi, Matador), owned by Doug and Louise Leatherdale. Creech also earned a 72.00 percent in the CDI3* Grand Prix Freestyle and a 69.54 percent in the CDI3* Grand Prix aboard Devon L, a 14-year-old Hanoverian gelding (De Niro-Wibranda, Wolkenstein II) also owned by Leatherdale Farms.
Creech competes in Wellington, FL, during the winter show season, which sometimes can be hard on the 14-year-old who remains in Canada. She said she escapes the Canadian winter for visits and would love to compete in Florida, but she is committed to school and her mother is committed to a more normal teenage lifestyle for her daughter.
Creech said that, although she believes in the value of travel, she also feels Vanessa being away from home too often would take away from the feeling of Vanessa being connected to her own life and her own friends.
Creech said she relies on her team, including her mother and sister, to keep things going in Caistor Centre, Ontario, while she's in Florida.
"It's a team I couldn't do any of this without. My family makes sure that I have a home to come back to," she said.
Her daughter agrees that teamwork is key.
Creech said she also couldn't do what she does without the help of Doug and Louise Leatherdale, the owners of the horses she rides.
The EC Gold International Dressage Tournament CDI3* on June 19-21 at the Royal Canadian Riding Academy in Cedar Valley, Ontario proved successful for Creech. She and the Leatherdales' Devon L won the Grand Prix Freestyle with a 72.050.

Redbird baseball raising money for cancer research
Illinois State University Staff	March 29, 2013
Duffy Bass Field
With team members having experienced the difficulties that come with cancer, Illinois State baseball understands the impact supporting cancer research can have on the individuals diagnosed with the disease.
This is why Redbird Athletics will continue to help the cause by hosting Redbirds vs. Cancer at Duffy Bass Field on Sunday, May 5, when the 'Birds play Creighton at 1 p.m.
The purpose of the event surrounding the game will be to raise funds for childhood cancer through the Vs. Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving kids' lives by empowering athletes and communities with the hope to fund lifesaving childhood cancer efforts. Leading up to the event and throughout the game, the ISU baseball team will be raising money for the organization.
To become part of the cause and donate to Illinois State's fundraising team, visit Illinois State's Vs-Cancer.org website. Following the conclusion of the game, the entire Redbird baseball team and coaches will shave their heads in support of the efforts of the Redbird Vs. Cancer event.
"We definitely believe in doing our part in giving back to the community and great causes," head coach Mark Kingston said. "This is a great event that we hope will get a lot of support."
Vs. Cancer Foundation Founder and CEO Chase Jones created the foundation after being diagnosed and surviving cancer at the age of 18.
"A lot of teams claim they can make a difference, but Illinois State actually is making a difference in the lives of kids battling cancer," Jones said. "I am thrilled to witness Coach Kingston and the entire program give back to ensure we are doing everything possible to help cure kids' cancer."

A web page is a file, just like your word processing documents. Just as your word processing documents require your computer to store them, all web pages require a computer to store them. The difference is that web pages are generally intended to be seen by the general public. To enable this, the computer on which they must be stored must be of a much higher specification than your desktop PC, and must be connected to the Internet through a very powerful connection that is reliable and stable 24 hours per day. This process of making web sites available to many users is called web hosting.You might ask; "Why do I need web hosting?" The answer is, while it is technically possible to connect your own computer to the Internet and have it serve pages, it is not practical since many Internet connections are not powerful enough to serve many users at the same time. For this reason, web hosting companies exist. They provide very powerful web servers which store your website. If you want to run a web site then you need web hosting and a 3rd party web hosting company like Net-Smart is the most cost effective solution.

Iran - Q&A - From the press briefing (16 October 2019)
Q: What do you say to the Iranian President who announced on Monday that Tehran would continue to reduce its obligations under the nuclear agreement and that Iran would begin work on centrifuges IR-7 and IR-9?
A : Together with our E3 partners (Germany, the United Kingdom, and the European External Action Service), we have repeatedly expressed our deep concern over Iran's recent announcements and actions that run counter to its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA).
We remain committed to the JCPoA and urge Iran to reconsider its decisions that run counter to that agreement, and to fully adhere to its obligations. Iran must refrain from entering a new and particularly troubling phase by adopting new measures that can only contribute to an escalation of tensions.
Iran must also cooperate fully with the IAEA under the JCPoA and its other nuclear obligations.
France remains fully committed to de-escalating tensions, in accordance with the parameters defined by the President in Biarritz and New York.

It was a very sad day at the ranch on Sunday, October 21, 2012: our beloved horse Mister Cloud died.
Cloud was an extremely friendly horse. He had fabulous and delightful mannerisms and a big heart – he would do whatever we asked of him. Cloud was the leader of our herd (until his medical conditions caused him to yield that role to a younger, bigger horse a few years ago) and it was always a joy watching him take the 'herd leader' chores quite seriously as he maneuvered various horses this way and that or broke up overly aggresive horse playing by sending the affected parties to neutral corners of the pasture.
Cloud and I learned the sport of Cowboy Mounted Shooting together, and he loved that fast-paced horse-and-man team sport as much as I did. Matter of fact, together we were the CMSA Mens Level 3 National High Points Winners in 2007 (Cloud retired from active riding in 2008 because of his medical problems, which were related to increasing problems with his hips and hind leg joints).
A great horse and a great friend, he is buried here on the ranch. If you'd like to see more photos of Cloud, go to our ranch website at www.FlyingB-Ranch.com and browse through the photo gallery. He is the horse on the left of the ranch website's opening splash page (with the music), and also the horse at the end of that musical sequence.
Goodbye Mister Cloud, we loved you. We always will.


The Alberta government fulfilled its 1982 campaign promise to get out of the airline business last week. It put Calgary-based Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) on the market and, as investors promptly bought the 3.7 million shares, it was clear that political and financial circles welcomed the move. For their part, stalwart Tories were relieved that they would no longer have to endure charges that they were closet socialists. At the same time, investors had the opportunity to buy into one of the few airlines in North America that reported a profit last year.
The government's sale of 85 per cent of its interest in PWA, generated $37.7 million. It was part of a 10million-share offering which also included the company's equally well-received issue of 6.3 million new shares. The deal marked the end of a nine-year relationship between the Lougheed administration and the airline designed to give the province a foothold in the airline industry and to ensure that its oil and gas companies were well served by northern routes. On that score, the arrangement was successful. At the same time, until recession struck, the financial fortunes of the company soared along with the energy industry. Currently, PWA is still making a profit, unlike other major airlines, including loss-plagued Wardair International Ltd. Last week Wardair announced its intention to sell a still undetermined number of shares and new debentures to raise much needed cash to offset its debt of $212 million. But while the Alberta government is surrendering most of its stake in profitable PWA, it has also taken unusual legal steps to ensure no one group gains control of the airline.
The Alberta government bought Canada's third-largest airline in 1974 for $37.5 million after a secret takeover bid directed by an inner circle of Premier Peter Lougheed's cabinet and advisers. The government move was prompted in part by worries that then NDP Premier David Barrett, NDP premier of British Columbia at the time, had similar designs on PWA. The company, then based in Vancouver, mainly served British Columbia, Alberta and the Western Arctic. Lougheed believed that by taking over PWA and moving the head office to Calgary, his government could ensure that the airline continued to serve the North and the interests of Albertabased oil and gas exploration companies.
said Marvin Moore, Alberta's transportation minister. By last week, when it sold all but a 14.9-per-cent interest in PWA, the Alberta government had made about $20 million on its original investment through dividends.
can be profitable even during severe downturns in the economy. "It has done relatively well compared to other airlines in Canada and the United States," he said.
While the government has given up its airline, it has insured its future as an Alberta corporation. Legislation dealing with the sale limits holdings to four per cent of the shares, a move that guarantees that no individual or company can take over the airline and move it out of the province. Although the government is still the largest shareholder, it intends to reduce its holdings to four per cent over the next two years. Moore says that Albertans likely will buy about 40 per cent of the stock, although there is no way of guaranteeing that those shares remain in the hands of Albertans. Investors also seem to have made a good deal. Only two days after the issue, the stock increased by 75 cents to $11.50. Said Moore: "I guess people feel that if the Alberta government is involved, it must be a good company." More probably, however, investors were primarily attracted by PWA's impressive earnings record.

Google Maps is getting a useful new feature — here's how to use it
Lisa Eadicicco , Business Insider US
Nick Bastone / Business Insider
Google is starting to launch a new Google Maps feature that uses augmented reality to display arrows and directions over your surroundings.
The feature has been available in beta for the company's Pixel phones, but it's now expanding to Android and iOS devices.
It's only available for walking directions currently.
Google Maps is already loaded with useful features that make it easier to get from point A to point B. But if you're not intuitive with directions, you might still find yourself walking the wrong way at first when navigating an unfamiliar place.
One of the latest features coming to Google Maps attempts to solve this problem: You'll soon be able to see arrows and directions displayed in real time over your surroundings when holding up your phone.
The new augmented reality-powered feature, called Live View, is launching in beta for iPhones and Android devices after debuting on the company's Pixel phones. It's only available for walking directions currently.
Google started rolling out the feature for smartphones around August 8, but if you're not seeing the option, it's likely because your phone hasn't received the update yet.
When it is available for your device, here's how to find it.
Open the Google Maps app on your phone.
Business Insider/Lisa Eadicicco
Type your destination into the search bar.
Press the "Directions" button.
Choose the "Walking" option. If the feature is available, you should see an option for launching Live View next to the "Start" button.
Here's how Live View looks when using it. Google Maps will display information like the street name you're looking for, arrows pointing in the correct direction, and a visual marker letting you know you've arrived at your destination.
The app also alerts you not to hold the phone up while you're actually walking so that you can pay attention to your surroundings.

There is a global learning crisis. Our young people deserve better skills.
Driving systematic change in critical areas such as health, energy and infrastructure is the task of the Global Future Council's 700 members in Dubai this week. They are investigating how breakthrough technologies can be used to "join the dots".
One key prerequisite for such change is a global population that is well-informed, well-educated, and literate. This is essential for progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on education, for example. But many other SDGs also depend on populations becoming literate and numerate.
Take poverty, for example. The global poverty rate could be reduced by more than half if all adults completed secondary education, according to estimates published in a joint paper by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the Global Education Monitoring Report. And take the chances of decent employment. Skills and jobs for young people feature prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. SDG target 4.4, for example, calls for a substantial increase in the number of young people and adults with skills relevant for employability.
But recent data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics has raised concerns about the prospects for 617 million children and adolescents who are unable to read properly or handle basic mathematics. Right now, only half of the world's children achieve minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics by the time they leave school, according to a new global composite indicator, developed by the UIS. A total of 230 million adolescents will not achieve minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics by the time they should be completing lower secondary education. While many of them are out of school, about 60% or 137 million are in classrooms, as the chart below shows.
The data have caused alarm about the number of adolescents and young people who leave school without the basic skills they need for the 21st century workplace. We face a global learning crisis, and the prospect of a lost generation of young people who should be forging the economic and social capital of their countries, but who lack the skills to do so.
The future of any economy depends far more on its human resources than its physical assets. However, the young people who represent the world's most dynamic human resources are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults. Today's young people (aged 15-24) make up 18% of the global population, but 40% of the global unemployed.
Those who are in work often find themselves trapped in lower-quality jobs. Young women are more likely to be underemployed and under-paid, and to take on part-time or informal or temporary work. As stated by the International Labour Organisation, economic growth, development and stability largely depend on the education, training and employability of youth. When young people are not engaged in the education system or the labour market, they become disconnected from society, gradually losing any prospect of developing new skills that could help them find meaningful employment.
According to the Education Commission, some 40% of employers globally are already finding it difficult to recruit people with the skills they need. If education in much of the world fails to keep up with the rising demand for skills – with reading, writing and mathematics considered a bare minimum – there will be major shortages of skilled workers in both developing and developed economies as well as large surpluses of workers with poor skills. Without urgent action, more than a quarter of the population in low-income countries could still be living in extreme poverty in 2050.
The global learning crisis poses a major threat to future prosperity. But this doesn't have to be the case. It is not inevitable. We can ensure that all children and young people are in school and learning the skills they need to be successful in work and life. This vision is achievable within a generation if all countries accelerate their progress to that of the world's top 25% fastest improvers in education, according to research by the Education Commission.This vision is firmly endorsed by the UIS and in common with the SDG Education 2030 Steering Committee. But it will stand or fall on the availability of more and better data.
The world's ultimate renewable resource is its children and young people. New data from the UIS has reinforced calls for far greater investment in them. The task ahead is to push for that investment urgently, drawing on the best possible data to ensure that every child has the skills for a productive future.
What will it take to produce the best possible data? As the official source of SDG 4 data, the UIS works with countries around the world on a daily basis, helping them to produce the data that are needed. The UIS understands the technical problems that face statisticians as they strive to provide the quality of data needed by policymakers. While sounding the alarm for the best possible data, the UIS is also making the case to strengthen the capacities of countries in the upcoming edition of the UIS Sustainable Development Digest, a source for the latest data strategies and tools.

All that you have said is of importance to me and my country – India. May I add and, you very correctly mention – students from the best colleges for technical and professional training are not employable; this is not my opinion but the remark of a Senior Dean from a leading engineering institute in India of international repute.
Mr. Ravish Kumar of the news channel NDTV has completed 22 episodes of a programme on educational institutions in India over PRIME TIME 2100 hours. This programme does not receive any mention ever because it hits at the basic foundation of the problem of the top-most educational institutions in India – no teaching staff, no infrastructure, no toilets, women students and their needs totally ignored and of course, NO FUNDS.
Students receive their degrees on a very regular basis without any organised assessment programmes or tests. Years and years do not find a single research scholar producing any papers and yet, not a word of complaint from any participant or, stakeholder. This includes the famous Bombay University which is in the headlines for now over a year. The vice Chancellor wanted to buy an aeroplane to learn flying, he converted every assessment programme into an online one without bothering about the intricacies, infrastructure, input and delivery systems and the resulting chaos and misery is common knowledge world-wide.


There are many ways cities are created, and there exists considerable variation in their power and authority. We've created these public resources to help enhance understanding of local government.
"When cities are given the directive and the resources, projects just get done faster, more efficiently and with better end results."
What does it take to ensure cities are healthier places to live, learn, work and play? A strategy that engages the right stakeholders.
Cities across the country are thinking of new ways to use resources and community assets to strengthen their response to numerous challenges presented by the on-going impacts of climate change and sea-level rise.
An attempt to shift the federal responsibility of enforcing federal immigration laws to local governments is an unfunded mandate that diverts critical resources from local government programs.
Regardless of party affiliation and policy disagreements, the model of local input in the federal process over the recent years should be replicated, not rejected.

Q: Does there always exist a matrix satisfying certain tracial conditions Given odd integers $0<a<b$, I want to know if there exists an $n$ by $n$ real valued square matrix $M$ such that
$$ M_{ij} = M_{ji} \quad \forall i,j \in \{1,2\dots n\}$$
$$ \sum_{i=1}^n M_{ij} = 0\quad \forall j \in \{1,2\dots n\} $$
$$\operatorname{Tr}(M^a)\operatorname{Tr}(M^b) = \sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i^a \sum_{i=1}^n\lambda_i^b < 0 $$
for some finite $n$.
If there always exists such an $M$, this would resolve a case which may lead to improving a result of
Locally common graphs by Csóka, Hubai, and Lovász. In the paper's language, I am trying to prove that there always exists a balanced graphon $U$ such that $t(C_a,U)t(C_b,U)<0$. Proposition 4.3 proves a similar special case, where the two cycles are connected. Since they ignored the disconnected case, I suspect my problem may be trivial. I am not too familiar with manipulating the trace function, so I'm not sure.

A: In hindsight this was rather easy. If $G$ is an edge-weighted graph with adjacency matrix $M$, then the count of weighted homomorphisms of $C_k$ onto $G$ is equal to $\operatorname{Tr}(M^k)$.
It  is sufficient to be able to construct graphs $G_{k-}$ (resp. $G_{k+}$) such that $C_k$ has only one embedding, which has negative (resp. positive) weight, with all other cycles being arbitrarily long.
To do this, you essentially just need to glue an arbitrarily long path to each vertex of $C_k$, and then glue all the ends of the paths together. The weighting is straightforward to handle afterwards. (give all but one edge of $C_k$ unit weight,  and give the last edge weight $k-3$ for the positive case, or weight $-(k-1)$  in the negative case, and then alternate the path weights appropriately)
We have that $C_a$ cannot embed in $G_{b+}$, and $C_{b+}$ can embed only finitely many times into $G_{a-}$. Thus, for $N$ sufficiently large, defining $G$ to be one copy of $G_{a-}$ and $N$ copies of $G_{b+}$, the weighted embeddings of $C_a$ are negative while those of $C_b$ are positive, as desired.


Wide down-sloping brim for those who prefer ample sun protection and shelter from rain. Great hiking and Kayaking hat for any weather! Material: Cotton Duck. -Won't Shrink!
Not perfectly but usually quite adequately. Happily, the brims of the cotton-duck Tilleys actually become stiffer when they get wet, not floppier, helping to protect your neck, face and glasses.
The Tilley comes with a tuck-away, adjustable, fore `n` aft Wind Cord. When it`s calm, the Wind Cord stays hidden in the crown.
When there`s a breeze, place the cord with the sliding knots behind your head. When it`s really windy, use the chin cord too.
The fabric and style of all Tilley Hats have been certified to block 98 percent of harmful UVA and UVB radiation and deliver an ultraviolet factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given.
A layer of closed-cell foam in the crown provides the Tilley`s positive buoyancy. This is a boon to paddlers and fishermen!
Your Hat is guaranteed for life (yours, mine or its) not to wear out or fall apart. We're delighted to think that yours may be passed on to the next generation!
The cotton-duck Tilley T4 was designed especially with canoeists and kayakers in mind.
It has also made a hit with gardeners and with others who need the ample sun and rain protection provided by the down-sloping brim.
Broad down-sloping brim with 3/4" ventilation mesh . Super light and breathable! Material: Nylamonite. -Won't Shrink!
the Lighterweight LTM6 Tilleys are excellent at repelling rain.
The Tilley comes with a tuckaway, adjustable, fore `n` aft Wind Cord. When it`s calm, the Wind Cord stays hidden in the crown.
When there`s a breeze, place the part with the sliding knots behind your head. When it`s windy or you`re sailing, use the chin part too.
Use a tape measure to measure your head just above your ears and eyebrows.
Is your measurement in-between? Order the next larger size.

Q: spring boot 2.0.2.RELEASE with spring 5.0.6.RELEASE NoSuchMethodError AbstractHandlerMapping.obtainApplicationContext I am relatively new to Gradle and the SpringBoot plugin.
I am trying to create a SpringBoot WAR file with Jetty as the container.
I am using SpringBoot 2.0.2.RELEASE with spring-boot-starter-jetty which bring in Spring 5.0.6.RELEASE and Jetty 9.4.10.v20180503 (which as far as I can tell are compatible).
I don't see any version inconsistencies in my WAR file but when run the assembled bootWar, I get the following exception:

It is loading version 5.0.6.RELEASE of org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.AbstractHandlerMapping which indeed does not have an obtainApplicationContext method.
I have had to turn off MongoAutoConfiguration and WebMvcAutoConfiguration to get to this point but turning off EmbeddedWebServerFactoryCustomizerAutoConfiguration doesn't appear to help.  Can anyone shed some insight into where I might be amiss?

A: Issue found - the method is inherited from org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport in the spring context package of which I had an older version.  ugh


The East Morgan County Library would like to extend to you and your families a safe and happy Fourth of July.
Even though the library will be closed on July 4th, we will have the Carnegie portion of the library open for our 30th Annual Quilt Show. This year's theme is "Vintage Quilts" and to emphasize these one of a kind works of art, we have displayed them on the south side of the Carnegie room. On the north side of the room we have highlighted our modern-day quilts.
It's so interesting to see how far quilts have come and where they are going. If you are interested in viewing these marvelous quilts, on the Fourth of July the hours will be 7-10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. We will resume normal hours on Thursday, July 5, through Saturday, July 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
We hope after you have enjoyed the quilt show, you might want to stop by the "Friends of the Library" book sale. It begins on Wednesday, July 4, from 7-10 a.m. and from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. They have lots of new inventory and now is the time to use those coupons - buy 1 get 1 free. If you didn't pick one up this month, please ask the volunteers if they have any spares.
Our Teen Advisory Group (TAG) will be meeting on Friday, July 6, at 2 p.m. They will be hosting a cook's choice bake-off and will also play games. Just bring in your baked food, and play games while enjoying all the great food. This group is geared toward teens going into the 6th grade through 12th. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 970-842-4596.
We will once again resume our summer reading program on Wednesday, July 11, at 3:30 p.m. Ann Lincoln will be here with her program titled, "Boogie Woogie Bunnies." This will include juggling, magic, comedy and a whole lot of fun. So please join us once again in the children's area for this event.
Please join our adult's only reading group on Thursday, July 31. This month they will be sharing their favorite books that were written in 2018.
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 17, at 6 p.m. as we will be hosting the Platte Valley Band. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs and picnic dinner if you would like to come and join us in the library park.
This week we put a little extra thought into the book of the week, because this time of year everyone is looking for new ways to cook without heating our homes. So, this week's staff pick is "How to grill everything: Simple recipes for great flame-cooked food" by Mark Bittman. We hope you come in and check out this brand new book we have added to our collection, and here is a little tidbit of what this book is about.
Here's how to grill absolutely everything - from the perfect steak to cedar-plank salmon to pizza - explained in Mark Bittman's trademark simple, straightforward style. Featuring 1,000 recipes and variations, plus Bittman's practical advice on all the grilling basics, this book is an exploration of the grill's nearly endless possibilities. Recipes cover every part of the meal, including appetizers, seafood, meat and poultry, vegetables (including vegetarian mains) and even desserts. Plenty of quick, high-heat recipes will get dinner on the table in short order (Spanish-Style Garlic Shrimp, Green Chile Cheeseburgers); low and slow "project" recipes (Texas-Style Smoked Brisket, Pulled Pork with Lexington BBQ Sauce) are ideal for leisurely weekend cookouts. You'll also find unexpected grilled treats like avocado, watermelon or pound cake, and innovative surprises - like cooking meatloaf or from-scratch Rosemary Olive Oil Bread on the grill - to get the most out of every fire.

Purchasing credits to offset greenhouse gases can be either a really good idea, or a really bad one. The trick is to separate the greenwash from the real deal.
Here's a look into the growing solution to our greenhouse gas problem.
The Federal government is following-through with one of its 'green' election promises - the establishment of a national carbon credits system.
Is carbon sequestration economically viable?

Weekly NBA Power Rankings: "Let's just hope they make the playoffs"
By j0Shi@j0Shi_f Apr 12, 2012, 1:05pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Weekly NBA Power Rankings: "Let's just hope they make the playoffs"
I was kind of busy this week, so here is your (delayed, but extended) update on the Power Rankings. The Mavericks finished last week 1-3 and the analysts are not impressed:
John Schuhmann - NBA.com: 15th
Brandan Wright has been a revelation in short bursts, but the Mavs have lost three of their last four, struggling offensively once again. We might have to consider the possibility of the defending champs missing the playoffs. After they host the Kings Tuesday, they head west for a critical four-game trip.
David Aldridge - NBA.com: 12th
Even Cubes realizes Mavs are running out of time to turn on the defending champions' switch. And Nowitzki and Carlisle both turn off questions about Odom. Still can get it going, but this is getting very dicey.
Mark Heisler - SheridanHoops.com: 13th
Last thing they wanted to do was to pay LO off and watch him trot back to L.A., sign with the local teams and watch him go back to being Lamar Odom against them.
Chris Sheridan - SheridanHoops.com: 13th
Only win last week was vs. a Grizzlies team on final night of back-to-back-to-back, and Memphis got revenge Saturday. "We're now eighth or ninth, so we've got to fight," said Dirk Nowitzki, overstating things a bit (they are 7th). Imperative that they go 3-0 in an easy week, cuz 5 of last 6 are against high-quality opponents. Own tiebreakers over Jazz, Nuggets and Suns.
Tom Ziller - SBNation.com: 18th
The Mavericks are not even close to 2007 Miami bad and no one will ever touch the 1999 Bulls, but this is probably a bottom five NBA champion afterglow season. Let's just hope they make the playoffs.
Kurt Helin - PBT: 12th
Lamar Odom is gone and that's the smart move by the organization, but he was not the root of all they offensive and defensive problems. This is not the title contender they were last year, a deal Cuban made before the season to get cap space.
Zach Harper - Hoopspeak.com: 7th
This Lamar Odom thing was so weird. I've thought all year long that once he got to the playoffs with this team, he'd have all of his offseason issues worked out and he'd be back in game shape. I don't fault him for coming into this season out of shape and not ready to be in such a new environment. I understand the life he's had and what he went through this past offseason and can assume how hard it is for him to adjust to that. But after everything that has come out over the last two days with him leaving the team and the alleged blowup with Cuban, I just don't know what to think anymore.
Marc Stein - ESPN.com: 14th
If only divorcing Odom solved all of the champs' problems. They were down to No. 7 in the West as of Monday morning thanks to an offense still sputtering beyond recognition -- bordering on unwatchable when J-Kidd is out -- and 9-11 in the games (five points or less) so relished in Carlisle's first three seasons (55-22).

Ogres dance, singing "Taay ho hey, tay ho hey." This is the world of gods.
Chubu, Winter, Tradition	2015.08
Ogres dance through the night, wishing for reincarnation. Aichi Prefecture's "Hanamatsuri" is a festival where one can feel the origins of Japan.
Since ancient times, Japanese people have always expressed their gratitude and awe to nature and their ancestors. Japanese festivals are rituals to show thanks to both for life and health. In Japan, over 600,000 festivals are held throughout the year; half of them are related to traditional manners and customs, and the other half are festivals held for more modern events. Japan has an overwhelming number of festivals rich in content.
The Furikusa-Kobayashi area of Toei Town in Kitashitara district, Aichi Prefecture is a small community of about 20 houses. The Hanamatsuri, held throughout this area from autumn to winter, is a festival to wish for rejuvenation of the soul. The festival has about 600 years of history.
Winter is known as the time when "the weakened soul gathers its power". On the day of the Hanamatsuri, "Sakaki-Oni" (Sakaki Ogres) come from Tsuki Shrine atop the mountain down to the village, alongside many other "Oni" (ogres), who also come out to the festival. Just like the "Hanadayu" who performs the festival rituals, the roles of Sakaki-Oni, Yamami-Oni and Mokichi-Oni are passed down from generation to generation. The Sakaki-Oni furiously stomp the ground to calm the spirits residing beneath their feet. If any people present are ill, the ogres make them crouch down on all fours and stomp on their backs. This is a spell to drive the evil spirits out of the body.
The "Zazechi" decoration on the ceiling of the "Maido" (dancing area) is a sign that divine spirits are drawn towards, and is also a device to assist in the "reincarnation of life".
A scene from "Yubayashi". You will experience a powerful aspiration for a bountiful harvest, a sense of accomplishment after dancing all day, and a feeling of unity with the cheering audience.
"Hanayado", the venue of the festival, has a holy "Maido" (place to dance) with an earthenware cooking pot set in the center. All kinds of dancing continue from morning until night around the cooking pot. Yubayashi, where hot water from the cooking pot is sprinkled onto everyone, is held at the end to wish for good health. The audience also dances together, transforming Hanayado into the world of "Shinjinwago" (the fusion of gods and man). The chant of "Taaay ho hey, tay ho hey", which is said to be the imitation of taiko drums and flutes, never ends. Why not join in and feel the origins of Japan? Hanamatsuri is filled with the kindness of people who live and support one other in a harsh environment.

For Father's Day, consider helping a child without one
Home » News » For Father's Day, consider helping a child without one
Written by Guardian ad Litem Program, June 16th, 2018
On Father's Day, those with great dads count their blessings. But for too many children, growing up in what the National Fatherhood Initiative calls "the father absence crisis in America," the lack of a positive role male model will shadow their entire lives.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children in the U.S—one out of three—live without their biological father in the home. And according to the fatherhood initiative, this absence "affects nearly all of the societal ills facing America today."
Children who grow up without their biological father in the home are four times more likely to live in poverty and seven times more likely to become pregnant as teenagers. They're also more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol, commit crimes, and drop out of high school.
Most abused, abandoned and neglected children lack consistent, positive male role models in their lives – a fact of great concern to the Guardian ad Litem Program, whose volunteers act as the voices of children in dependency court – following their cases, advocating for their needs to be met and helping them find safe, loving homes.
"There's a lot of teenage boys in the system that really need the encouragement to stay focused and become great citizens and great fathers themselves," says Donny Frenette, regional counsel for GAL's Central Florida region.
"They have no one to show them how a gentleman responds to frustration or anger or displays love or affection," writes William Deschenes, a GAL volunteer in Mount Dora. "They haven't experienced a dependable man, one who keeps his word and shows up when he says he will."
Paul Crawford of Lake City, who retired from the Department of Corrections before going to work for Guardian ad Litem, says he's seen too many families in which "their grand-dad's been to prison, their dad's been to prison – it seems natural. If you can break that cycle, that would be awesome."
"Many of these kids are lost," says GAL Executive Director Alan Abramowitz. He points to "the many conversations they're not having – such as about sex or drugs. "A lot of them grow up with drugs in the home," Abramowitz says. "They thought it was just a routine part of life."
"They've never been shown any other way," agrees Fred Hapner, director of the Guardian ad Litem Program in the 14th Judicial Circuit, based in Panama City. The Program tries to bring in male mentors as much as possible – teachers, coaches, youth leaders and youth pastors – "wherever we can find a positive male role model."
The Statewide Guardian ad Litem Program has more than 11,000 volunteers – but just 2,249 are male.
And the men of Guardian ad Litem say male volunteers can have a huge impact just by teaching kids their own interests and hobbies – which can, in turn, keep them out of trouble.
"For someone's who's going down a wrong path," says Frenette, "a small amount of positive influence from an adult invested in a teenager can pay huge dividends and affect someone's life in a meaningful way."
"You may not see the impact at that very moment," Hapner says. "But it shows up later in life."
