If Shumpert can’t play tonight, who starts in his place?
Shumpert started the final 45 games of the regular season and every playoff game after returning from surgery to the same knee. Before that, Ronnie Brewer started, but he has since been traded to the Thunder.
Chris Copeland started New York’s first game of the postseason when Pablo Prigioni was out with a sprained ankle, but Copeland played just the final minute of Game 3 against the Pacers and had three DNP-CDs against the Pacers.
J.R. Smith has played the Knicks’ third-most minutes per game in the playoffs, but he hasn’t started a game all season. Mike Woodson clearly prefers to bring the Sixth Man of the Year off the bench.
Quentin Richardson is also on the roster.
Woodson is such a mad scientist with his starting lineups, nearly any solution is possible. Because Carmelo Anthony can play small forward rather than power forward, maybe the Knicks insert a big man like Kenyon Martin or Amar’e Stoudemire into the starting lineup to counter the Pacers’ size. Stoudemire still has a 15-minute limit, and the way Woodson uses his starters, starting could be a good role for Stoudemire.
Of course, the player that would pick up Shumpert’s minutes is much more important than who starts, though both are related. Smith would be a leading candidate to carry a bigger load, and on that front, the Knicks got some good news:
Kenyon & JR are feeling better they will play. No one else is sick. #Knicks
The dunk-contest scoring system – five judges ranking dunks on a scale of 6-10 – is plenty flawed. There should have been a larger difference between the Smith and Victor Oladipo dunks the Dallas point guard mentioned. But Oladipo didn’t advance, either. Personally, I thought the right two players – eventual-winner Donovan Mitchell and runner-up Larry Nance Jr. – advanced.
Maybe Smith was more upset about the missed opportunity – dunks (plural!) involving rapper J. Cole.
If Dennis had made it to the finals, Cole was going to throw him the alley-oop. But then the plan was, he was going to throw him the oop, Dennis would dunk it, and then Cole would catch the ball, and then he’d dunk it too. That was going to be the ill, craziest dunk-contest use of a prop or a person ever. But we never got to saw it, because they were holding out until the final round. They didn’t want to bring it out in the first round.
This certainly would have been unprecedented and cool. But unless Smith had something amazing planned for the alley-oop, the best element would have been Cole dunking. That would have upstaged Smith, who’s presumably the one being judged.
For what it’s worth, Cole can dunk. We’ve seen it in the celebrity game:
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says he’d be surprised if Kawhi Leonard returns this season
The Spurs (35-24) are third in the West despite Leonard playing just nine games. Popovich has done a great job (maybe Coach of the Year-worthy). LaMarcus Aldridge is having a bounce-back season in a leading role. Pau Gasol leads a supporting cast of players good in their roles.
But San Antonio’s ceiling is so much lower without Leonard.
He’s an elite defender who shuts down opposing scorers on the perimeter and can comfortably switch inside. He can isolate offensively to score efficiently, and he spaces the floor off the ball with strong 3-point shooting. Those are all skills that translate to the playoffs.
Without him, the Spurs rely too heavily on older, slower defenders. That’s ripe to be exploited in the postseason.
Teams might even jockey to match up with San Antonio – the most vulnerable-appearing Western Conference team in line to get home-court advantage in the first round.
Of course, this doesn’t eliminate the possibility of Leonard returning. Popovich could just be trying to shut down speculation. He clearly doesn’t like discussing this issue.
But the Spurs are the most cautious team on injuries. If Leonard risks further injury, they’ll keep him sidelined.
This injury has already caused tension. This won’t help.
Mark Cuban’s fine third-largest known fine in NBA history
I’d be on Cuban (and/or the Mavericks) getting yet another spot on this list following the investigation of the franchise for a culture tolerant of sexual harassment and domestic abuse. That one will probably be deserved – not just the league trying to preserve the illusion of pure competition amid a system that incentivizes losing.
Mark Cuban fined $600,000 for telling team “losing is our best option”
“I’m probably not supposed to say this, but I just had dinner with a bunch of our guys the other night. And here we are, we weren’t competing for the playoffs. I was like, “Look, losing is our best option.” Adam would hate hearing that, but at least I sat down, and I explained it to them. And I explained what our plans were going to be this summer, that we’re not going to tank again.”
You were not supposed to say that — the NBA Wednesday fined Cuban $600,000 for “for public statements detrimental to the NBA.”
Cuban’s not wrong, it’s just a matter of perception. The NBA has worked very hard to lessen the image that teams are tanking for draft position (why do you think there was pressure on the Sixers to replace Sam Hinkie?), they don’t need an owner saying it’s the smart thing to do. Even though it is. Teams tank — it is still the only way for a small or medium market team to get a superstar, get high in the draft and hopefully pick one (it’s not that simple, ask the Magic) — but the league wants at least the facade that all of its teams are competitive. All the way through the end of the season.
As you read this, the bottom eight teams in the NBA are within three games of each other for the worst record — and a higher lottery slot. Does anyone think any of them are not going to roll out young, less-talented rosters in the name of development when the real goal is to lose as many games as they can the rest of the way? Most scouts think there is some real talent at the top of this draft, and teams are going to try to get up there and get it.

Paladin Incorporated is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting self-sufficiency and a meaningful life for all. They have served Northwest Indiana for approximately 50 years. On July 1, 2017, Michiana Resources, Parents & Friends, and the LaPorte County Council on Aging merged to form Paladin. Friday celebrated Paladin Day, which brought together the community for a field day of fun.
Marketing and Development Officer Erin Mooneyhan said Paladin Day celebrates the merger.
“At Paladin, we have day, residential, respite and children's services, employment support and assisted technology, along with music and art opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Mooneyhan. “It’s like a big field day for the individuals and for the staff. We have all sorts of recreational games, a photo booth, a face-painting area, karaoke, and smartboards for other games. It’s a fun day to celebrate who we are.”
Smiles filled the rooms where activities took place. People sang and laughed with each other as they competed with one another in ping-pong and karaoke sing-offs.
Paladin believes in putting people first. They believe in self-determination by empowering people with the support needed to make informed decisions and choices. Paladin’s primary mission is to serve as determined advocates for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
“At Paladin, we have day and residential services, employment opportunities, assisted technology and other opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Mooneyhan.
Paladin President and CEO Bill Trowbridge said Paladin was formed last year, and has since become an incredible organization that provides opportunities to all.
“Paladin itself is defined as an advocate for a worthy cause, which is perfect because we serve persons with developmental disabilities,” said Trowbridge. “Without organizations like ours, we would have people at home all day, staring at TV’s. Here, we provide remediation, job training, job supports, opportunities to provide daily living skills- all the things needed to be independent in the community. We want people to learn a little bit more than from what they knew yesterday.”
Trowbridge says Paladin is important to help the underserved population.
“We help a population that can fly under the radar and it’s probably one of the most vulnerable ones out there that doesn’t have a lot of resources to help them. Paladin Day represents this,” said Trowbridge. “We are going to be there for that exact population, and to provide what they need.”
Paladin lives by core values that emulate strength and helping others. They believe in putting people first, and that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. They promote visionary leadership that exemplify accountability, honesty and open communication. Paladin stimulates community participation and that all people have the rights to live, learn, work, play and worship in a safe and healthy community. They want to conduct their business with integrity that reflects excellence in all that they do.
There are several ways to give back to Paladin. Donations are welcome, and with those gifts, Paladin will continue to work to protect the rights of people with disabilities and support their inclusion in the community. Next month, the Northwest Indiana community is welcome to participate in the Co-Ed Slow Pitch Softball Tournament on August 25th at Patriot Park in Michigan City. All proceeds will benefit individuals with disabilities.

I read her blog and was fascinated. She ate fresh fruits and veggies for 28 days. Nothing was cooked, everything remained in its natural state, raw. I thought, “that takes discipline to endure.” She then shared that she wanted to create a 15-day challenge for others to join in along with her. I decided to try out her challenge but decided to endure a full 28 days.
Before the challenge began she created a Facebook group for participants and shared a guide on ideas of meals to prepare, providing recipes and what to buy.
She also provided things we should avoid and why. Even if you decide not to do that challenge, it is good to learn toxic ingredients that are in foods, especially when it claims to be healthy.
Aside from food, I hadn’t even realized that some of the supplements I was taking were toxic. I began to clean out my pantry. Using up the last bit of products I had. As well as beginning to find other supplement brand replacements.
Prior to the cleanse my diet consisted of chicken breasts and turkey for protein as well as protein shakes, very minimal red meats. I tried to consume fruits and vegetables in season. I personally don’t drink soda, on rare occasions I will have a ginger ale and I don’t intake a lot of bread or complex carbs such as pasta. My diet was fairly healthy in my opinion.
For the cleanse, I began utilizing her guide to come up with recipes I could make. Pinterest was my main go to for ideas outside of her guide.
To keep me full throughout the day I tried to eat nuts with every meal. I made a Twitter post about working on getting my body fat percentage down and Ronicha suggested that I cut back on my nut intake. Yes nuts are healthy but they are a healthy fat and too much can be bad. I’m going to slowly cut back over the next few weeks to only two meals and work my way to just one meal a day.
As you can see from the pictures above, I have celery juice with fruit and almonds for breakfast. I drink hot water with lemon and peppermint tea. My lunch is raw collard green wraps with peppers, tomatos and carrots. I pair it with bananas walnuts and of course water and tea. If I get hungry while I am at home between lunch and dinner, I make fresh guacamole with carrots. If I’m out and about I keep nuts on hand. For dinner, I made salad using arugula base with pecans, apples, tomatos and an orange on the side.
The fruit helps to cure my sweet tooth, I honestly haven’t craved anything sweet, my only problem is making sure I stay full throughout the day. I get full but it doesn’t feel the same as eating cooked meals or meat. It’s hard to explain. I feel lighter but full at the same time. On days when I’m home, I want to eat more even if I am not necessarily hungry, so I try to combat that by being productive while drinking tea and water.
Temptations did strike and it struck often. At my internship because we were preparing for NYFW, the office ordered pizza the day before. I came in the next day and there was plenty of left over boxes. I would’ve definitely grabbed a slice of pizza even if I had brought my lunch because its free. With this New Health Regimen, my mindset has been more disciplined and focus. I re-framed from engaging in the pizza, while sitting right next to the boxes.
Over the weekend, I went to a BBQ spot, luckily I prepared my lunch, but the place we went to had $2 mimosas which I would definitely taken part in because of it being so affordable. It is hard, but the reminder of the feeling of regret and sadness after eating things I know I shouldn’t help me to reframe from engaging and remain disciplined.
So far, I’ve noticed the most changes in my digestion, which has gotten so much better. I would drink kombucha drinks or lemon ginger tea after eating certain foods or when I felt my stomach having a tough time trying to process certain food. Now I don’t really have an urge to drink kombucha. I did have most of my digestion problems when I had red meat or greasy/fried foods. I’m not sure if meat was to blame since I don’t really eat a lot of red meats.
It has been refreshing not having to deal with this but confusing because I am so used to expecting the stuffed full feeling or to have digestion issues. Now I am reteaching my brain to know what the new feeling of full feels like to meet. I am not reframing myself from eating certain foods but just remaining more conscious about what I consume.
I am still working out everyday which includes me doing cardio and lifting weights. I never feel nauseous or anything and I haven’t experienced any headaches. The only thing I’ve experienced is the need to eat more veggies and fruits. My fitness goal for February is to focus on muscle isolation. My left side is weaker then my right so I want to work on increasing my strength overall. As well as getting that booty up…I feel like this is every girl’s focus.
I am not pooping as much as I thought I would. When the urge does come, I am usually in uncomfortable places such as the gym or out and about I don’t. However, when I am more comfortable I do not have any urge. My mom makes teas and has one that is good for detoxing/laxative that I want to do. I think I’m going to wait until the cleanse is over to see how it naturally effects my body.
Week one is done ✅ now 3 more weeks to go.

Cheaper, immersive and precise
Kamikaze FPV Drone generally weighing no more than 500g, FPV drones have traditionally been used by hobbyists for racing.
Now — like most improvised drones popping — they are being adapted and fitted with munitions.
Despite their small size, the racing drones can carry rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) of up to 1kg and hone in on targets at high speeds for damaging, one-way “suicide” missions.
“What you’re seeing with these FPV drones is kind of an evolution in terms of ability, speed, capability and price, which is a really important factor,”
“These are more sort of a specialist Ferrari-type drone … designed to be fast and manoeuvrable.”
Their range is limited to around 5km to 10km, but a defining capability is how they are controlled.
Pilots strap on goggles with a live-streamed camera feed from the drones, giving them a unique, immersive view.
This allows pilots to be more accurate, and to carry out surprise attacks in enclosed spaces or to loiter and wait for a target.

§ Mr. Goodlad
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the latest progress in research into schizophrenia.
I understand from the Medical Research Council, which receives its grant-in-aid from the Department, that the Council's schizophrenia and allied conditions committee has recently reviewed the current state of research in this area. A report of the committee's findings, including recommendations for future research, will be published shortly.
In addition the Department of Health and Social Security is funding epidemiological research on morbidity and mortality in schizophrenia at the unit of clinical epidemiology, Oxford and is also supporting studies on community-based services for people with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.
§ Mr. Goodlad
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much the Medical Research Council spent of its 1986–87 budget on research on (a) mental 256W health and (b) schizophrenia; and what percentage these figures represent of the Medical Research Council's total budget.
It is for the Medical Research Council to determine its priorities from within the annual grant-in-aid which it receives from the Department's science budget. I understand that in the financial year 1986–87 the Medical Research Council spent £9.4 million, 8 per cent. of its overall budget, on research on mental health, including research on addiction. Out of its expenditure on mental health, the Council spent £506,000, 0.4 per cent. of its budget, on schizophrenia. The Council is also funding other work in which mental health and schizophrenia are minor components.

Congratulations on the imminent release of the new Baby Animals' album, This Is Not The End. It’s been a while since the last major release from you guys; what can we look forward to?
DL: Yeah, it’s been 20 years since our last rock record! We are really excited to have the opportunity to get back into the studio. We did this recording under our own steam, paid for it ourselves, which was scary, as we have never had this much artistic control, but refreshing, as we didn’t have to deal with stuff like, “The A&R guy’s tea-lady has a problem with the kick-drum sound”.
We are signed to a fantastic independent label, Social Family Records who like us, are emotionally attached to the project so we feel blessed to be in this situation.
The record is a mixed bag of styles and influences. As with the previous two, there are straight-ahead rock songs, power-pop tunes, love songs and dark, brooding ballads. Something for the whole family!
I remember seeing you guys as a support to The Angels at Selinas back in the day – they had decided to “foster” a couple of young bands as support acts– without trying to be cruel, you guys absolutely killed the other bands, and gave The Angels a run for their money! Do you remember that, and if so, did you envision this band going so far?
DL: Haha! I remember that tour well! The Angels were riding high and touring in support of the “Dogs Are Talking” single, which included a demo song from ourselves, The Hurricanes and The Desert Cats on the B-side, and took the whole circus around the country. A gallant and expensive gesture, I must say. A rock 'n' roll dream come true! We three support acts shared the same Hi-Ace van which was appropriately named the ‘Ugly Bus’ (and boy, some ugly shit went on in there…)
I do remember that we had to pull out all the stops on that tour. Playing to Angels fans, you have to hit ‘em hard. You can’t afford to be uncertain or loose in front of a crowd like that, they’ll crucify you. It definitely rubbed off and we got tighter and tougher as a result.
At the time we were just enjoying the ride. Touring with a huge rock band, writing and recording songs. We all aspired to be in a successful band but we weren’t thinking at the time that it would turn out to be as busy as it got.
You've played with some very high profile bands. Does anyone stand out in your memory as being particularly memorable? Did they prove inspirational and/or helpful to The Baby Animals?
DL: We did supports to groups as diverse as the Buzzcocks , Spencer Davis Group, Jimmy Barnes, the Hoodoos and the Hunters, thru to touring with Bryan Adams, Robert Plant and Van Halen. Each and every one of them influenced the way we played, and still do, to some degree. As I mentioned earlier, some of the crowds we played to were very unforgiving so you had to stand your ground.
The F.U.C.K. tour (we played 60+ shows) through the U.S. with Van Halen, was probably the most memorable. We got a chance to experience what it’s like touring on that level. 10 semi’s and eight tour buses, it felt like a moving city AND we got to see VH play every night!!
In a world and a time when every guitar player in Australia seemed to be totally in love with Stevie Ray Vaughan (and there’s nothing at all wrong with that!), you sort of appeared out of, well, nowhere with a, still obviously blues-based style, yet sounding quite different to anyone else I could think of. Do you feel this way? How do you manage to come up with ideas that are still within a genre, yet different to what anyone else seems to do?
DL. Umm, that’s a really interesting observation. I agree with you that SRV was an awesome player but influence-wise, I think I got more of my stuff from the old-school British players. Mick Ronson, Jimmy Page, Francis Rossi, Pete Townshend, Toni Iommi, early Jeff Back (“Truth” album is my desert island disk…). Also Leslie West, (American, I know…) his tone and chops on that Mountain stuff still floors me. Blues-based, but each had their own voice. It wasn’t a conscious thing to sound different to what others were doing at the time but I’m glad it turned out that way! I always regarded my job as more of a rhythm player, anyway. Riffs and rhythm parts make up the bulk of my gig.
The group has always appeared to have a pretty “democratic” kind of vibe – all fantastic players who shine within their own right, and get to do so, however the overall impression is very much the sound of “a group”, rather than that of the individual players (given the pretty amazing presence of Suze DeMarchi). Is this a conscious effort on the part of the band, or just something that seems to come naturally to you guys?
DL: I think it just comes naturally. The motto was/is that it is always better to have a ‘star team’ than a ‘team of stars’. We are all influenced by the great rock groups, and I am one lucky guitar player to be in one with someone as extraordinarily talented as Suze. 20+ years on, her voice still gives me chills… (in a good way! And Suze’s guitar playing is improving outta sight now that it has been given a much more important role in the band. She cranks that Tele live!
The new rhythm section consisting of Mick Skelton on drums and Dario Bortolin on bass has made the band feel greater than the sum of it’s parts and when it’s on fire, it’s about the best feeling you can have… ever.
The way they have interpreted the old material and their own parts on the new recordings, take me to another place when I play with them. Sometimes during sound-check, I’m reluctant to check guitars, I would rather just listen to those cats jam…
While The Baby Animals have been around for quite a long time, you seem to sort of disappear for fairly extended periods. Is this just my imagination living here in Sydney? What do you do between Baby Animals gigs – I can’t really imagine you sitting at home crocheting teapot doilies or breeding tropical fish, so, what does Dave Leslie do in the downtime between Baby Animals gigs?
DL: Life is pretty busy in general bringing up 3 sons, so a lot of housework and cooking gets done between BAs gigs.
I played with Jimmy Barnes and Richard Clapton when Suze was in the ‘States. Have done lots of session work playing on people’s albums, TV advertisements and the like. The rest of the time was spent starving and praying!
I have never taken for granted doing what I love but it can get tough out there, that’s for sure. Is there any money to be made in teapot doilies?
First time I ever saw you I think you were playing a red bitser Strat. I am guessing you may have moved on from there a bit. What sort of equipment makes up your current rig, and why/how have you reached this setup?
DL: That red ‘bitser’is a ’64 L-series! I won’t tell it you called it a bitser, it would be awfully upset! It only comes out for special occasions these days.
My current rig (when I have the opportunity use my own stuff.) is a three amp set up consisting of Reynolds, MI Audio and Amwatts amps driving 1 x 12 or 2 x12 boxes. This set up allows for a lot of depth and variation without having to be too loud onstage. Delays and other juicy stuff are handled by a TC Nova System, which sounds quite organic to my ‘cloth’ ears. All other juice is handled by MI Audio pedals. The new record has a few more ‘ambient’ colours in it so I’ve recently acquired a line6 M9 to handle that stuff live. It definitely brings another dimension to the mix. The rig still sounds like a rock guitar though. I would never let that stuff get in the way of a guitar sound! I’d love to have the simplicity of just plugging a guitar straight into an amp, but why paint with just one colour, right?
Guitar wise, I have 2 Grubisa Merlins which are my main axes. They have slightly different sounds so they both shine in different applications however, I could easily use either one for a whole night. Other guitars that come out to play include 2 of Pete Crossley’s gorgeous creations, a Talyor Classic solidbody and LP Jnr and Tele copies made by Frank Grubisa, which are just awesome guitars!
The Music Man EVH given to me by Eddie and the Washburn N4 stay indoors these days..
You seem to be yet another convert to Frank Grubisa’s guitars. Would you like to share with our readers how you made the connection with the guy who seems to be emerging as THE Australian boutique solid body guitar maker, and why, given that you must be able to pretty much choose whatever guitar you want, that you have ended up frequently sporting a Grubisa guitar?
DL: I’ve known Frank for ages. I used to live not too far from him and used to hang out and chat about guitars and stuff. One day our conversation turned to his original designs and a month or so later, I had Merlin #001 in my hot little hands and they have never let go of it. (Except for the time when some low-life stole it from the gear van. I got it back 3 days later). It has acquired some mojo and sounds better every year. It’s approaching its 20th birthday soon. Methinks a nice re-fret would be a fitting gift.
It’s a versatile guitar, it feels great to play, Frank’s work is immaculate. I cannot recommend his guitars highly enough. Loaded with Brierley pickups, #001 is my favourite axe. I’m just a sucker for Aussie gear in general. To be able to liaise with the people who make the stuff and have it tweaked to suit your ears is an ideal situation. I feel extremely fortunate to use quality equipment made by people who really care. Frank, Pete Reynolds, Michael Ibrahim, Mick Brierley, Mark Watson, Peter Clinch, Pete Crossley all deserve a mention as they have all played a huge part in my ‘tonal’ development.
As a guy who is now a highly respected, and very successful Australian musician, what words of advice can you offer to someone seriously determined to become a professional and/or successful musician?
DL: Phew, thank you for the kind words. I guess the most important pieces of advice I could give anyone is:
- Do it because you love it. Fame/Fortune is a by-product of hard work.
- Don’t judge success in monetary terms.
- Learn the basics. No-one is interested if you can play a shredder solo but can’t play rhythm. The chicks at school might be, but they don’t give you gigs.
- You don’t have to be the best guitarist, just be the best at what YOU do.
- Prepare to make it your life’s work.
- Never take it for granted. I made the mistake of thinking that the Baby Animals wave was going to last forever and regret not having made wiser choices at the time. Now I’m grateful and I love every minute of it.

Purpose: To identify the development and progression of macular retinal pigment epithelial atrophy in eyes with neovascular (CNV) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to correlate with visual acuity (VA).
Design: Cohort study.
Participants: Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) participants with intermediate AMD enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial of oral supplements. Analyses were conducted in the subset of AREDS2 participants who were also enrolled in the fundus autofluorescence ancillary (FAF) ancillary study.
Methods: Color photographs and FAF images were evaluated in eyes that developed CNV. Presence of geographic atrophy (GA) prior to the incidence of CNV and the development of macular atrophy following incident CNV were assessed. Areas of hypoautofluorescence representing atrophy were measured for area and macular involvement. Enlargement rate of atrophy and change in visual acuity over time were analyzed.
Main outcome measures: incidence and enlargement rate of atrophy and VA changes in eyes with incident CNV.
Results: Incident CNV developed in 334 (9.2%) of eyes evaluated in the AREDS2 FAF substudy. Of these, 40% had macular atrophy at incidence of CNV with half of these attributable to pre-existing GA. Atrophy developed in 14.7 % of eyes over 4 years of follow-up. Mean area of atrophy was largest in eyes with pre-existing GA and CNV (5.17 mm2, p<0.001), and atrophy involved the center of the macula in > 65% of eyes. Mean VA letter score at the annual visit in which CNV was documented was similar in the three groups with atrophy; eyes with CNV and pre-existing GA, incident atrophy at the first visit with CNV, and atrophy during follow up (60 letters). Enlargement rate of atrophy was also similar in eyes in the three groups (1.23 - 1.86 mm2, p = 0.47). Eyes with macular atrophy lost more visual acuity compared to eyes without atrophy, particularly after 2 years of follow-up (-10.9 vs. - 3.6 letters, p = 0.07).
Conclusion: Atrophy is commonly seen in neovascular AMD and often can be attributed to pre-existing GA. Macular atrophy and GA appear to be a continuum of the same disease process and are both associated with poor vision.

Next week will see the release of “Her Again: Becoming Meryl Streep”, a wonderfully research book that explores how Meryl Streep became the celebrated actress she is today. It goes way back to her upbringing in New Jersey, her training at Yale and Vassar University to her first successes on the New York stages and on tv and film with Holocaust and Kramer vs. Kramer. I have been able to read the book already and can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone interested in Meryl’s early year and the process of becoming an actor. Make sure to pre-order your copy. For Simply Streep, Mr. Schulman has taken the time to answer some questions about the book and his research. Enjoy reading:
What made you interested in Meryl Streep’s early career to write “Her Again”?
I’ve always been an admirer of her work, but mostly knew her in her current incarnation: the top-of-her-game, self-deprecating diva who’s been our “Greatest Living Actress” for over three decades. When I started contemplating a book, I began asking myself: Who was Meryl Streep before she became iconic? Was she ever just a twenty-something working actress trying to figure out what to do with her life? How did she learn to do what she does? Can it even be learned? In other words, I was interested in the Meryl Streep we don’t know. It just so happened that the story of her artistic coming-of-age was also a story about New York in the 1970s, a period I’ve always been drawn to. And, of course, it was the story of her two great loves: John Cazale and Don Gummer. This period of her life was full of great characters, inherent drama, and deep, conflicting emotions—not unlike a Meryl Streep movie.
Can you tell us about your research process?
I interviewed more than eighty people who knew Meryl in the 70s: classmates, co-stars, friends, teachers, directors, and even a couple ex-boyfriend. I was fortunate that the vast majority of people I approached for interviews said yes. But the research I really loved the most was archival: old letters, unpublished transcripts, yellowed stage-management reports. I traveled to libraries from New Jersey to Texas and used anything I could lay my hands on in order to piece the story together. And I must say, SimplyStreep.com was an excellent resource as well!
What information of your research surprised you the most?
I was surprised to uncover the roots of the tension between Meryl and Dustin Hoffman during the making of “Kramer vs. Kramer.” I had heard that they clashed during filming, but discovering how he slapped her across the cheek and goaded her about Cazale’s death to get her riled up for the scene was quite a shock. Also, a wonderful surprise was finding her high-school sweetheart, Mike Booth, who had an incredible story to tell about enlisting in Vietnam and exchanging letters with Meryl when she was at Vassar. Considering her role in “The Deer Hunter” only a few years later, it was fascinating to hear that she had been the “girl back home” in real life. Mike’s recollections of the young Meryl were revelatory, and he wound up becoming a major character in the book.
Do you remember the first film with Meryl that made you a fan?
“Death Becomes Her”! It’s a fabulous, weird, dark, hilarious movie and deservedly a cult classic. But now, having seen all her work, I have two favorites: “Kramer vs. Kramer” and “The Devil Wears Prada.” In both, she managed to turn the “villain” into a full-fledged, sympathetic character and flip the story on its head.
Knowing about Meryl’s training as an actress and her film career, what role would you like her to play?
Maria Callas in “Master Class.” I know Mike Nichols’s death put a big question mark over that project, but I hope it gets made. She’d be perfect.

Soma should be taken by mouth with or without food. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. This medication should only be used short-term (for 3 weeks or less) unless directed by your doctor.
If you suddenly stop using this medication, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as stomach cramps, trouble sleeping, headache, nausea). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may lower your dose slowly. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used carisoprodol for a long time or in high doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal.
Though it helps many people, this medication may sometimes cause addiction. This risk may be higher if you have a substance use disorder (such as overuse of or addiction to drugs/alcohol). Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lower the risk of addiction.
Side Effects of Soma (Carisoprodol)
Carisoprodol causes muscle relaxation, sedation, and decreased anxiety. However, muscle relaxants like carisoprodol can also cause various unintended side effects. These side effects can become more severe, and even dangerous, when the drug is misused. The National Library of Medicine lists the following side effects of carisoprodol:
- Increased clumsiness
- Increased heart rate
- Upset stomach and vomiting
- Skin rash
Some side effects, like difficulty breathing, fever, weakness, or burning in the eyes, can indicate a severe reaction to carisoprodol and require immediate medical attention. The effects of carisoprodol generally set in within 30 minutes of taking the drug and generally last 4-6 hours.
Abusing carisoprodol can have many adverse effects on the body. The Drug Enforcement Administration lists the following physical effects:
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Extreme weakness
- Cervical spine injury
- Difficulty speaking
- Temporary loss of vision
- Double vision
- Dilated pupils
These effects are typically short-lasting. However, continued abuse of the drug can cause permanent damage to the body. The heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain can all be adversely affected by abuse of prescription medications.
Watch video for soma side effects.

M-A presents 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee
A whole crew of “freshman” — and a couple of sophomores – are in the spotlight in Menlo-Atherton High School’s production of The 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee. Four of the six actors playing the roles of spelling bee contestants are freshman, and new drama teacher, Debra-Jean Zwicker-Sobrepena, and new music teacher Kent Kurrus, are partnering in their first production together. (Both pictured below left.)
She said Putman was selected because it “has a lot of great character roles that the students can identify with.” And while the show features six spelling bee contestants, there are many small roles, taking the cast up to 22.
One unique aspect of the show – even when it was on Broadway – is that four audience members are chosen to be contestants. In the M-A version, there will be different teachers fulfilling this role in each of show’s six performances.
At a recent rehearsal we asked the actors playing the spelling bee contestants what prompted them to audition for the musical.
“My dad was getting mad at me for not doing anything with my life,” said #69, freshman Josh Weiner. “I’ve always been a dramatic person and liked singing, so this was perfect.”
“I’ve been doing theater my whole life,” said #111, freshman Rachel Fosnaugh. “One of the reasons I decided to come to M-A is because of the new Performing Arts Center.”
“I was part of M-A drama last year,” said #13 sophomore Maddie Napel. “I met a lot of great people. I’ve also been involved in theater most of my life, and this show is really fun.”
“I’m doing his because I can and because I didn’t have any other theater to do except school theater,” said #7, freshman Will Hanley.
“I started theater in 6th grade and knew I wanted to become a member of M-A International Thespian Society,” said freshman #178 Maddie Rostami. “I thought it would be another opportunity to do theater with a great group.”
“I decided to do it because I had a lot fun in last year’s musical,” said #299, sophomore Matt Schertler. “I like being on stage and like singing.”
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee premieres on Friday, March 18 at 7:30 pm. There are two performances on Saturday, March 19 – 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm. The final three performances are Thursday, March 24, Friday, March 25, and Saturday March 26 – all at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students/seniors; they can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center box office or online.

MY PRIVATE NOTES

JOIN THE CONVERSATION
I made this for my son's 27th birthday. In our family, the guest of honor gets to pick the birthday dessert. Matthew requested strawberry shortcake so I was looking for something that would still look like a birthday cake. This was delicious - everyone loved it. I used whipped cream and fresh berries - very simple to put together and it looked wonderful. I think this one will show up at more than one party this year. Excellent recipe for a group - moist, homey, and lovely taste. Love, love, love it!Reply
I found this recipe when searching for a way to use up a can of strawberry pie filling. This cake is easy to make and delightfully moist. I don't know why mine came out really puffy (probably has something to do with the pan I used), but it tastes great regardless. I can't wait until strawberries are in season so I can make this again with real fruit for the filling!Reply
I had to cook my cake in a springform pan, which I thought wasn't a bad idea, but I think it got a little overcooked.My fault there. Other than that I did not stray from the recipe.The whole thing put together makes a beautiful presentation, and the taste is wonderful, but I could not get past the density and texture of the cake.May have been from the way I cooked it, or because that is what rustic means, heavy.I am giving it 5 stars because I feel like the texture was from my method of cooking, and otherwise would have been a moist cake. The ease of preparation and the outcome deserves the 5 also, and I will definately try this again because it is something I would like to serve to guests.Reply
I made a few substitutions and made this cake for a boy's FIRST birthday party today. I used margarine as a substitute for the unsalted butter and low-fat plain yoghurt as a substitute for the sour cream. I substituted the lemon zest with pineapple essence(personal preference of the family for whom I was baking this cake) and orange essence instead of orange zest. This cake came out grand and tasted wonderful! Everyone was very impressed with the beautiful red strawberries laid out on the whipped cream. Since they wanted the cream to set, they froze this cake overnight and cut it the next day. They said a hearty THANK YOU for the cake:) Thanks from all of us!1Reply

This study was performed to gain age correlated normal values for the pupillary near reflex.
Accommodation and pupillary near reaction were measured by means of simultaneous infrared video retinoscopy and pupillography in 64 healthy volunteers aged between 5 and 55 years. Measurements were done at a reduced, near mesopic, light condition with accommodation to 10, 14, 20 and 33 cm.
The pupillary near response varied highly with age: persons younger than 20 years of age showed a significantly smaller pupillary near response as compared to those older than 20 years. In most of the children younger than 10 years the pupil near response was very small (less than 10% constriction) at accommodation distances longer than 10 cm. There was a significant difference between the age groups younger and older than 20 but no statistically significant differences within these age groups.
A change of the pupillary near reaction takes place around the age of 20. We conclude that this change does not only reflect the aging of the cristalline lens but is due to an age related change of the supranuclear control.

Linda Stender won the Democratic nomination unopposed, while Republican primary voters chose State Senator Leonard Lance in a field of eight candidates. In the 2008 general election, Lance defeated Assemblywoman Linda Stender by a margin of 25,833 votes and became the Congressman.
In the 2010 general election, Democratic challenger Ed Potosnak challenged Lance, but Lance defeated Potosnak by a margin of 59% to 41%. For the 2012 election, both Potosnak and former Edison Mayor Jun Choi have announced their candidacies for the Democratic nomination, although the field could be affected by Congressional redistricting which will take place prior to the election.
Counties and municipalities in the district
For the 108th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the 2000 Census), the district contains portions of four counties and 54 municipalities.

Panting is very common in our canine pals, but is much more rarely observed in cats. It’s important not to shrug your cat’s panting off like you do when your dog does since this can be an indication that something is very wrong.
Cats may pant for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons are easy to manage at home, while others may warrant immediate medical attention. Here are some of the reasons why your cat could be panting and the actions you should take to ensure their health and safety.
The 7 Possible Reasons Why Your Cat Is Panting
1. Heat Exhaustion
- Rapid heart rate
- Rapid breathing
- Redness of the tongue or mouth
- Increased temperature
Cats may wind up panting in an attempt to release excess heat and regulate their body temperature. Cats have sweat glands in a few areas throughout the body including the paws, lips, chin, and on the skin surrounding the anus. When they are suffering from heat exhaustion, these tiny sweat glands may not be enough to keep that temperature in a normal, healthy range.
Panting is very common in dogs for this very reason, but this is not something you will often observe in cats. They are typically well adapted to a variety of outdoor climates and will seek shelter and shade to prevent heat exhaustion.
If you suspect your cat is suffering from heat exhaustion, you should act quickly and contact your veterinarian. Heat exhaustion can quickly lead to heat stroke, which can be deadly. Take them to a cooler area or even soak them in cool (not cold) water and allow them to drink as much as they need. Follow your veterinarian’s guidelines and take them in promptly unless otherwise instructed.
- Increased vocalization
- Lack of grooming
- Change in daily habits
- Change in posture
Pain can take many forms and cats have a knack for hiding their pain as much as possible due to instinct. Panting can potentially be a sign your cat is in severe pain, so make sure to assess the situation carefully and look for any other signs they could be in pain.
If your cat is panting and also experiencing any of the above symptoms, you need to get them to the veterinarian as soon as possible to find the underlying cause. The veterinarian will go over your cat’s medical history and perform a thorough examination and any necessary diagnostic testing to determine the reason your cat is in pain. Treatment will be dependent on the root cause.
- Increased vocalization
- Going outside the litter box
- Decreased appetite
- Excessive grooming
Cats are very sensitive creatures and respond in many different ways when they are either stressed or feeling fearful. Panting and all of the above symptoms can indicate your cat is extremely stressed out. Try and figure out the source of the stress so that you can counteract this trigger and bring them back into a state of calm and relaxation.
Commonly, cats will begin panting during a car ride because of the intense stress it causes. They don’t take well to anything that is out of their ordinary routine, especially a large, moving vehicle that not only feels funny, but is surrounded by lots of noise, commotion, and frequent stopping and going.
Each cat reacts differently to stress, so be sure to pay attention to any other unusual signs or behaviors they are exhibiting. There are plenty of things that can cause a cat to be full of fear or anxiety. If you are concerned about your cat’s well-being, your veterinarian is just a phone call away, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.
- Rapid breathing
- Difficulty breathing
- Open-mouth breathing
- Blue lips and/or gums
- Persistent coughing, gagging
- Frothy mucus while coughing
- Gurgling sounds from the throat
- Increased swallowing
- Hunching close to the ground with neck forward
Cats suffering from asthma may show many different signs during an asthma flare-up. This includes trouble breathing, wheezing, rapid breath, coughing, hacking, open-mouthed breathing, vomiting, and more. Panting could potentially be another sign that your cat is suffering from an asthma attack.
Feline asthma is believed to be caused by the inhalation of environmental allergens but could also be related to stress. Here’s a quick look at some of the most common environmental allergens that could contribute to both the development of asthma and the reason for a flare-up:
- Dust mites
- Cigarette smoke
- Certain foods
- Litter dust
- Household cleaning products
- Diffused essential oils
5. Upper Respiratory Infection
- Discharge from the eyes and/or nose
- Lack of appetite
- Nasal and/or oral ulcers
- Squinting or rubbing eyes
Both kittens and adult cats are prone to upper respiratory infections, also known as the “cat flu.” For the most part, their signs closely mimic that of cold and flu symptoms in humans. Viruses are the most common cause of respiratory infections in our feline friends and are most common in multiple cat households, boarding facilities, and animal shelters.
Panting isn’t often a telltale sign of respiratory illness, but it could be related. If you notice any panting or any of the signs above, make an appointment with your veterinarian so that your cat can receive prompt treatment.
- Feline herpesvirus- Don’t worry, your cat can’t transmit the feline herpesvirus to you as it is only specific to wild and domesticated cats. This virus is also known as feline viral rhinotracheitis, or FVR, and is a very common cause of upper respiratory infection in cats.
- Feline calicivirus- This is a highly contagious virus that can cause mild to severe respiratory infections and oral disease.
- Chlamydia- This bacteria-based respiratory infection often shows itself through runny eyes, sneezing, and nasal discharge.
- Bordetella- This is a bacterial infection that is common in dogs but can also affect cats. It is most often transmitted in places like shelters, or multiple pet households that have more living conditions with other animals, which leads to easy exposure.
- Fungus- Fungal infections are common and can result from being exposed through many avenues like inhalation, contact with the skin, and ingestion.
- Weakness after intense activity
Cats may begin panting during intense activity or play if they have overexerted themselves. This is much more common in kittens than in adult or senior cats. If you notice your kitten or cat panting as they play, you should put a stop to their rumbustious activity and encourage them to relax for a bit.
If they are playing with another cat or any other pet in the house, separate them and gently stroke your cat to help calm them down so they can catch their breath. This type of painting should resolve pretty quickly. If you notice them becoming weak, lethargic, or begin staggering it’s time to reach out to your veterinarian.
7. Cardiac Disease
- Loss of appetite
- Weak pulse
- Difficulty breathing
- Shortness of breath
- Heart murmur
- Inability to tolerate exercise or exertion
Cats of any age can suffer from underlying heart conditions. Cardiomyopathy, which is a structural disease of the heart muscle, is the most common heart condition observed in cats. It can result in a genetic predisposition and is more common in certain breeds.
A cat can be born with a heart condition or may develop it at some point in their lives. If you notice panting along with any of the above signs, it’s time to make an appointment with your cat’s veterinarian to rule out any potential heart problems.
When Is Panting Considered a Medical Emergency?
Panting should be considered a medical emergency if your cat is struggling to breathe. A respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute or more is considered respiratory distress for cats. Your cat may not be getting enough oxygen, which is a very dire situation that will lead to death quickly if no medical intervention is received.
Get your cat to your veterinarian or local animal emergency clinic immediately if you notice any signs of respiratory distress or if your cat’s panting continues more than 5 minutes past the end of a stressful event, overheating, or overexertion.
- Rapid breathing or continuous panting
- Long drawn-out breathing
- Open mouth breathing
- Standing with elbows pointed outwards and the neck extended
- Exaggerated or abnormal movement of the chest or abdomen while breathing
- Blue or purple gums and/or tongue
Cats may pant for a few reasons, but if the panting does not resolve quickly you could be facing a medical emergency that requires immediate veterinary attention. If you are ever concerned over any unusual behaviors or signs your cat is exhibiting, it can never hurt to reach out to your veterinarian or animal emergency services.

PORT ARANSAS - A Port Aransas woman who survived a brutal beating earlier this month is asking for the public's help to hind the man who attacked her.
35 year old Erin Wilson met us at the place where it all happened Thursday afternoon, Port Aransas Beach near the Horace Caldwell Pier. She says it is a night she will never forget.
Wilson says she was sitting in her car around 2am. She says she was listening to music and watching the waves trying to relax when a man stuck his arm through the window and began to choke her.
"He took his other hand and was touching me, down there so I know he wanted to rape me. And I started to hit him and that's when he started to hit me," said Wilson.
She now has a metal plate under her eye because her bone shattered, and she no longer can see with her left eye. But Wilson says no matter how hard he hit her she wasn't going to let him win.
"I just thought well he better kill me before he tries to rape be because I'm gonna fight to the end," said Wilson.
Wilson was able to escape and drive away. She called police and was taken to the hospital. Police are investigating the attack, but Wilson says she has one thing to say to the person who attacked her.
"I'm gonna make it my life mission to make sure that he gets put away. No matter what it takes. I'm gonna get this sicko off these beaches," said Wilson.
Wilson says she never saw her attacker's face. All she knows is he is a slender white man. If you know anything about the assault contact the Port Aransas Police Department.

Less than a week after Toronto city, Canada confirmed its first case of the monkeypox virus, the Toronto Public Health (TPH) has reported another case of the virus in the city.
The TPH reported in series of tweets recently that as of May 31, there have been two positive cases, nine negative cases and six under investigation.
“There is one new lab-confirmed case since our last update,” TPH said in a tweet.
The health unit said it is continuing to monitor “monkeypox activity” in Toronto.
A news release that was previously attributed to the health unit, the TPH described monkeypox as a “rare disease caused by a virus that is normally found endemic in central and western Africa.”
“It was first identified in monkeys, but its origins remain unknown,” the release read.
According to the health unit, the virus spreads through contact with body fluids, including fluids from monkeypox sores, contaminated bedding or clothing or through respiratory droplets.
“Anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, can spread monkeypox through contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores or by sharing contaminated items,” the release said. “Common household disinfectants can kill the monkeypox virus.”
The virus can also be spread through a scratch or bite from an infected animal.
According to TPH, symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, swollen lymph nodes and a rash that “often appears within a few days after symptoms begin. It starts on the face and spreads to other parts of the body.”
TPH said, most people recovered on their own without treatment.
“Treatment for smallpox can be used for Monkeypox in emergency situations,” a post on the TPH website reads. “In some circumstances, smallpox vaccine can be given after exposure, as determined by a healthcare provider.”
The health unit said anyone with monkeypox symptoms should report them to their health care provider “as soon as possible.”

The use of black in the quilt world takes on various roles, depending on the desired outcome. Regardless of whether black is a colour or not; large amounts of black, especially when combined with white, results in a graphic, contemporary design. The use of black as a predominant colour in a traditional pattern, except Amish quilts, is remote. However, the use of black as a background is quite stunning. Its use as an accent in a traditional quilt design is always influential to the outcome.
Maybe you'll be inspired to add a little dash, or a lot, to your quiltmaking once you see how agreeable and supportive this colour can be.
|Modern Dresden Plate|
Over at Cactus Needle blog I found this very unusual black Hawaiian quilt made by author and quilter Annette Mahon. What makes it unusual is that traditional Hawaiian quilts do not feature black due to superstitious reasons, and nor is it common to see a modern-made one in black. But wow, how good does this one look?
|Black and white |
|Black and White and Finished!|
Kay Sorensen shares this contemporary quilt, and some detail photos, over at her blog, Color + Quilts. I invited her to share her thoughts on her use of black in contemporary quiltmaking... "I often choose black when creating as it is the perfect color to set off almost any color. Used with white it creates the strongest graphic image." Kay designed this quilt by making some components and then playing with them on her design wall, adding and subtracting as necessary, "I let the quilt tell me what to do, how far to go and when to stop," she concludes.
Many Amish quilts use black backgrounds with muted colour geometric shapes. The interplay between the colours and the black, or dark, background of traditional Amish quilts remains an integral component of modern interpretations.
I found this Amish Steeplechase Quilt for sale over at Rocky Mountain Quilts. Made in circa 1940, it is the quintessential Amish quilt. Black is a dominant colour in the oldest Amish quilt styles, particularly in quilts made in Eastern Pennsylvania. Subtle and sophisticated, the deep black provides the perfect counterbalance for the subtle pop of the steeplechase design.

Geraldine, who has earned the title Queen of Miniatures, was the featured artist at the Loomis Quilt and Fiber Guild's quilt show, held early 2013. Click here for an article on Geraldine over at The Loomis News.
|1847 Baltimore Bride's Quilt|
The, 1847 Baltimore Bride Quilt pattern is available from this blog click here to purchase. if you would like to purchase the pattern and wool fabrics as a BOM visit Lakeview Primitives for more information.
I think there is a whole other story in using black in a more subtle manner within quilt design, particularly in modern quilt design. I will explore that subject further and share it with you all at a latter date.
Meanwhile, I would love to see how you are incorporating black into your traditional and contemporary quilt designs. Visit Facebook.com/StitchOneQuiltToo and load images of your quilts, we would all love to see them!

Letters by John J. Hill
The Rundown: Rose escapes the facility with Elliot and returns to the world of her fantasies.
Rose has finally been liberated from the hospital and her childhood friends Elliot and Wallace take her back to the site of her old home. A site that still has the portal back to Rosewood.
After returning to the land, Rose can see the effects that her absence has on the world and its surviving inhabitants. The three go deeper into the forest to look for the final stronghold. When Elliot gets possessed by something unknown, Rose will find herself facing her best friend.
The Story: Parker and Sheridan deliver an entertaining story in this issue. I continue to enjoy the world being created in this series and the mystery behind it. I enjoyed both the current story and the way the back story are unfolding. The story is incredibly immersive and enjoyable.
The Art: Quinn delivers some beautifully detailed art. The world of the story is visually rich and engaging. I love the character designs and the visual contrast between the real world and Rosewood.

For many homeowners who are behind on their mortgage loan payments and may be facing foreclosure, help is on the way. However, lawmakers feel that the help may come too late for some people who could be helped.
A new housing bill that has just been signed into law should help approximately 400,000 distressed homeowners who may be at risk for foreclosure.
These homeowners will be able to refinance out of their risky, high-cost mortgage loans into more affordable ones that will be backed by the federal government.
The problem is that the new law will not take effect until October 1. In the meantime, homeowners who may be eligible for help under the new law are continuing to lose their homes in foreclosures.
According to a recent Reuters news report, four members of a congressional housing market oversight panel have publicly urged the mortgage industry to temporarily back off of foreclosures in order to give the new law a chance to help.
The four Democrats who are members of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee plan to hold a public hearing on September 17 to determine if mortgage lenders have complied with their request to delay foreclosure actions.
Committee Chairman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, committee member Maxine Waters of California, and committee members Mel Watt and Brad Miller of North Carolina are the legislators that have called for the mortgage industry to hold off on foreclosures for now. These lawmakers signed a letter that was sent to the chief executives of major financial institutions and financial industry lobbying groups.
Mortgage lenders HSBC Finance, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Wells Fargo & Co. were among those that were sent letters requesting that foreclosure actions be postponed. The lawmakers asked that the financial institutions review loan documents and prepare to refinance eligible homeowners, rather than starting the foreclosure process.
The committee also requested information on mortgage servicing practices from the lenders.
The letter composed by the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee on August 5 was not the first time mortgage lenders have been asked to stall foreclosures. On July 25, Frank had asked mortgage lenders to hold off on foreclosure actions until the new government-backed mortgage refinancing program began.
While the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee was working on sending their letter to mortgage lenders and lobbyists, New York Governor David Patterson was also working to help distressed homeowners.
Newsday reported that on August 5, Patterson signed legislation that will give homeowners in New York an extra 90 days to attempt to save their homes from foreclosure. The law is targeted to help homeowners who have subprime mortgage loans, but also strengthens mortgage lending rules.
In New York, the mortgage foreclosure process usually takes 440 days. Although this is the longest foreclosure process in the country, the new law will add an extra 90 days in order to help homeowners.
The extra time will allow homeowners time to meet with the mortgage companies and get other information on handling their debt.
The United States is in the midst of the biggest housing market slump since the Great Depression, and bankruptcy rates are soaring.
Lawmakers recognize that assistance is necessary, not only to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, but to prop up some of the largest mortgage lenders in the country as well.
The federal legislation enacted last month includes emergency financing for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These lenders were deemed too large to fail, and as a result, will receive financing if and when it becomes necessary in order for them to stay afloat.

Jodie Turner-Smith is about to get a little witchy as Netflix has cast the British model and actress as the lead in The Witcher’s upcoming prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin.
Turner-Smith will reportedly play a fierce warrior named Éile. Éile was blessed with the voice of a goddess, and she shall see her character leave her clan and role as the queen’s guardian to follow her heart and embark on a journey as a nomadic musician. Though, a tragic event will force her to return to her warrior ways as she embarks on a quest for vengeance and redemption.
This upcoming Netflix six-episode limited series is set 1,200 years before the events of their current series, the Henry Cavill-starring The Witcher. The Witcher: Blood Origin will “tell a story lost to time — the creation of the very first Witcher and the events that lead to the pivotal ‘conjunction of the spheres,’ when the worlds of monsters, men, and elves merged to become one.”
Known for her breakout role in Queen & Slim, Jodie Turner-Smith is quite the busy gal these days. Alongside being cast in this series, we’ll see her A24’s After Yang, Without Remorse from Amazon, and as Anne Boleyn in miniseries for Channel 5.

A Horn Book Award title called The Dark Is Rising, written by Susan Cooper, is definitely an interesting read, by far. I love reading books of any genre at all, as long as it is interesting and nice.
This book is about fantasy that may or may not interest readers.
Well, I am not a big fan of fantasy, but I enjoy reading it tremendously.
It is something like your ‘Lord of The Rings’ kind of magic book, where dark versus light, evil versus good.
This story features the battle between Dark and Light, and I will not divulge on ...
