In spite of Bryan's incompetence and stupidity Sam was able to bring us to the playoffs. When Bryan took over coaching by hiring Triano, he soiled his underwear as well as Jay's.
Ideas like playing Andrea at the SF in the NBA are asinine. Only a moron like Colangelo would force a coach like Sam to implement it in the Playoff series so that he can see his pylon get some time. Only an individual that does not understand defence would put Andrea at the SF.
I hope Casey tells Bryan to stay the fuck out of the kitchen, because we are going to be eating some seriously botched meals if Bryan has any input.
Belineli a good defender? In what universe? The point is the Bryan has always been attracted to players that give no effort on the other side of the ball. If you think Triano had a badly put together defensive team, than Look at the garbage that Sam was given.
What kind of an idiot signs Kapono to 5 million? Even Kleiza? Why are they suddenly starters on our rosters? Bryan better get on his knees and kiss Sam Mitchells ass next time he sees him and thank him for allowing him to have a bit of success in Toronto by ridding his coat tails.
The team fell apart when Sam left, and Bryan was left to his own ineptitude. He is lucky to still have a job. I am sure Alex English and Wayne Embry were shaking their heads about the mess silver spoon boy found himself in.
Dude seriously, stick to hockey, how is Tie Domi? Kapono winning a championship for the Heat? LOL... is that why silver spoon boy threw all our cap space Kapono's way? It had nothing to do with Shaq or Wade? You puck heads always make me laugh.Pat Riley find away to win a championship with Kapono on the floor.
Wake me up when Casey wins 47 games, so we can make a thread about what a great coach Bryan is once again. I am sick and tired of children elevating Colangelo to a deity. History has proven Sam's tenure to even his staunches detractors. We just still need to get through to some of their followers.
(If there is one coach that deserves to be treated like a VIP alumnus in this organization, it is Sam Mitchell, and all those that take credit away from the man, embarrass me to no end. )

If Raptor fans want to show that they have come of age, and learn from this disaster, they better get right and show some humility in front of one of their best coaches who put his heart and soul for this franchise.
Karma is a bitch, and until fans in this market realize how much heart Sam gave they do not deserve even a morsel of his former success.
It's all good to let the man go because he is brash with the media, or for the sake of other implementations of the team... but to call him stupid, or inept in the face of a COY and his 2 trips to the PO, is disgraceful to me as Raptor fan and I feel shame for fellow fans that are still trapped in the prevailing gossip spun by the teenagers of yesterday.

New Orleans and Toronto.
Like it or not, and despite him being European, Belinelli was and is a pretty decent defender. It's something I noticed when he played with the team, last season. Seemed pretty obvious to me and the stats seem to back me up on that. Just because you couldn't tell doesn't make it wrong.

Dude my point was to the poster that thinks the COY belonged to Colangelo, that Sam Mitchell was a horrible coach that was lucky to have a job and who now laughs at Mitchells job prospects as if there is nothing for the man to be proud of in Toronto. This raptor opinion is so like 2006, and if what has transpired has not somehow made the poster take a different accounting of the situation than I think I am within my right to consider him a little dense.
Sam played in the league, he knew his plays, he knew what worked and what did not. I will take his experience over some guy who's one criteria of judging coaches is how they dress. Too even act like getting COY or making the play-offs with 7 new players, most of them significant minute players is meaningless is beyond me.
I am fairly sure "Doc Rivers on Tactics" is not going to sell many copies, but everyone knows he is a great coach. I still think that the bullshit that Sam had to put up with, in terms of the fans misconceptions and the media's inability to try to understand him only added stress to our franchise. Sam may not have started out well, but he got it and kept getting better as coach, he also did better than what most expected with the roster he had.

As for Ed. I don't see the Horford comparison except in size. Horford is an excellent passer, and a good shooter (to go along with a top notch defender and rebounder). Ed hasn't shown that ability yet.
JO - maybe but clearly undersized compared to him. JO was a legit C... Ed on the other hand will always be a bit on the short side.
Antonio Davis - now thats a comparison I can see and get behind. Still think Davis was the best big man this team has ever had (yes ahead of Bosh)
He and Valanciunas have very similar games: rim protection, inside scoring, pick and roll, rebounding ... not much outside game, and a need to add weight to bang in the NBA.
-A future 3-man big rotation of those two with Bargnani is good balance/compensation for each others shortcomings. Is Amir able to play the role of 4th big, 2nd off the bench? - I think so.
The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
On a serious note I'm done with responding as your arguments have no fact or substance to them. Your throwing out comments that have no relevance and are acting like a entry level position worker walking up and down the street petitioning for something you have no clue what your fighting for. Either your Sam Mitchell posting, one of his family members, a childhood friend or some moron. I'm hoping it's one of the first three as your at least sticking up for yourself, your family or have some loyalty towards your friends rather then being blind about basketball and having a big mouth horrendous combination.
The guys tenure are coach had 2 years of solid but unspectacular ball. If you look at the history of COY awards a ton of them were given to teams that had huge turn around in the win/loss department. Your telling me that the roster overhaul had nothing to do with this? As far as talking about those new players playing major minutes. This is almost a valid point except they were all veteran players who knew how to play.
Last point comparing Doc and Sam is just awful. It seems like each time you try to bring up a new point or argument you dig a deeper hole. Just stop fighting something you obviously know nothing about and move on to making more racial comments towards white European players.

i would say his d would be close to that of camby his o probably slightly below average for a pf throughout his career.
lets just hope the end result aint the same as camby
If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
Seems this thread kinda got out of hand a bit. Back to Ed Davis, who I think is the future PF of this team. It would be a grave mistake to trade him, although I do think he's easier to move than Amir if they're feeling the pressure to do so.
Here's why it's a mistake to move either Ed or Amir -- because we'll have a huge hole to fill at PF once the Bargnani@PF experiment fails. Neither Ed nor Amir are ready to play 35 mpg; Amir because he'll keep fouling out, and Ed because he's young and inexperienced. Bargnani@PF will be the same as Bargnani@C, only he'll be guarding a slightly more mobile opponent. Eventually they'll move him back to C because Ed/Amir are better options.
People worry about scoring after Bargs is gone. I don't understand that. I would rather us lose 90-85 than 120-115. And believe me we are going to lose a lot of games this year.
Are you talking about his days in Orlando? This would be completely different situations with the one Sam was involved in. If Doc has a healthy Grant Hill the Magic would have been just fine. Doc has a gift of working with player and getting the most out of them not fighting them in locker rooms like Smitch. Please name me a player Sam has a positive effect on? With the respect he had as you claim leads to fist fights in the locker room? Actually on second thought don't as this is wasting peoples time having to read your garbage responses.
I'm glad your cracking jokes about Big Macs which I might add is actually quite humorous. This is a good way to stop a discussion that is obviously not gone your way....well done.
This team had no problems scoring without Andrea. He wasn't doing it as efficiently as before, so redistributing the shots to bayless or derozan was never much of an obstacle. Due to this I don't feel that Andrea's 20ppg are that crucial to this team, sure there will be days, but I think this squad has enough firepower without him.
I will always mention this, but there is really only one NBA centre that I believe Ed can be compared too and that's Jermaine O'Neal in his all-star prime. Ed doesn't have Jermaine's offensive game yet, but is already a better rebounder. So, the kid can be a tougher Jermaine and a future All-star.
-"You cant run from me. I mean, my heart dont bleed Kool-Aid."
-"I aint no diva! I dont have no blond hair, red hair. Im Reggie Evans.
This is not an argument to keep Bargnani, but anyone who thinks we had a good offense last season is dead wrong. Our offensive rating was 21st in the league last year, and a big reason why we only won 22 games despite a slightly better defense than the year before.

Following romantic endeavors with Jim Carrey, bodybuilder Jason Toohey and entertainment-sports attorney Paul Krepelka, Jenny McCarthy says now she's a single lady.
"Yes, I am single," the actress, mom and autism activist told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Monday's Access Hollywood Live.
She might not have one particular guy in her life, but she's staying busy considering her options.
"I'm currently dating," she continued.
Is actor and "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Gary Busey – who also appeared on Monday's Access Hollywood Live – a possibility for the blonde beauty?
"How about Gary Busey?" Jenny coyly asked Billy and Kit. "Is he really single?"
Adding, "I would mess his sh** up!"
Jenny previously dated Jim Carrey for five years, followed by a short-lived romance with bodybuilder Jason Toohey which ended in December. She was spotted kissing Paul Krepelka on New Year's Eve and – according to People – reportedly went on a few dates with him.

The BP First Take
Tuesday, November 29
After welcoming Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols to Miami earlier this offseason, the Marlins wooed C.J. Wilson on Monday. According to Wilson's agent, Bob Garber, the team "rolled out the red carpet" for his client, and the two sides came away with mutual interest. Unfortunately, one of the three aforementioned free agents is not like the others.
Reyes and Pujols are established superstars; Wilson is coming off of a tremendous 4.2 WARP season, but lacks a significant track record. Reyes and Pujols both have the appeal necessary to draw fans to the Marlins' new ballpark; Wilson—despite his 2.94 ERA last season and, in his agent's words, impressive charisma—is not going to sell nearly as many tickets. Reyes and Pujols would contend with LeBron James for attention on South Beach; Wilson would be an afterthought.
The Marlins' pursuit of Pujols seemed to be a combination of due diligence and showmanship from the start, and they won't win a bidding war with the Cardinals or any other suitor that may emerge. But Reyes is a more realistic possibility, and both he and Wilson are rumored to be seeking contracts in excess of $100 million. The difference is that Reyes is a means to the Marlins' desired end, while Wilson represents little more than an unnecessary risk.
Even if owner Jeffrey Loria is willing to squeeze two new nine-figure deals into his payroll, Wilson makes little sense for the Marlins. This winter's free-agent pitching crop is relatively weak, but a three-year deal for Mark Buehrle—or a shorter, cheaper one for a low-risk veteran—is a better fit for a team that is slowly building itself into an NL East contender.
The Marlins should be looking to add players who will peak as the team peaks, not decline when Miami needs them most. Exceptions to that rule can only be justified for superstars like Reyes or Pujols, because the new ballpark needs to be filled and the team needs to compete in the growing Miami sports market.
Wilson, who recently turned 31, doesn't fit either of those criteria. It's unclear why the Marlins found the need to "roll out the red carpet" for him at all.

Baffled by the notion that Reyes is a "superstar". Last year he hit way over his previous norm, still played only 126 games, and only got in that many by shutting down his running game down the stretch. (until the very end; talk about a salary drive)
Nov 30, 2011 08:35 AM
I'm also worried about the notion that they have to sign someone famous in order to 'fill the new ballpark'. New ballparks are supposed to fill themselves the first few years. That's much of the point.

Jack Layton paid a visit to a recession-ravaged manufacturing city in the Niagara Peninsula - one where he is fighting hard to keep an NDP seat from falling to the Conservatives - to poke holes in Stephen Harper's boasts that his government has been a solid steward of the economy.
The NDP Leader pointed to the plant closures in Welland, and throughout Southwestern Ontario, as proof that Mr. Harper could have done more to keep Canadians employed through the recent economic downturn and into the future.
"This is a region where tens of thousands of jobs have been lost. Welland is he centre of the problem. We can see this problem wherever you go in the region," Mr. Layton said.
"Where, a few months ago or a few years ago, you had huge plants that had thousands of well-paid jobs but these doors have closed. This is the centre of the economic disaster caused by Stephen Harper."
Nearly 150 employees lost their jobs when the CanGro canning plan in St. David's, near Welland, closed its doors after more than a century of operation because Kraft Canada determined that it is cheaper to can fruit in China. A CanGro plant in Exeter near London was closed at the same time.
And the Bick's Pickle in Dunnville, Ont., will shut down later this year, ending 240 jobs, because its owner, the J.M. Smucker Co. of Orrville, Ohio, decided to move the operation to the United States.
These factories are being "shut down because of a foreign takeover approved by the Harper government," Mr. Layton said. "This is irresponsible economic policy."
NDP incumbent Malcolm Allen is in a tough battle with Conservative candidate Leanna Villella and John Maloney, a former Liberal MP, in Welland. Mr. Harper has already been through the riding during the campaign and Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff paid a visit here just before the election was called.
"When I go by those huge factories and I have been here to watch those factories being dismantled right in front of the eyes of the people here, many of whom worked there for years, and now it's asphalt with blades of grass breaking through, it's tragic, it makes me angry," Mr. Layton said. "I say to myself, where were the governments of this country to stand up for these workers and this community."
The NDP platform calls for a $4,500 tax credit that would go to employers for every new job created. But they would roll back corporate tax cuts offered by the Conservatives.
When reporters asked what he was doing to keep the large companies that are still employing people in Welland from leaving, Mr. Layton pointed to the tax credits, and also to write-offs that he would provide for plant equipment.
"What we won't do it give tax reductions to big, profitable companies that are simply going to ship the jobs elsewhere," he said.
But, when it was pointed out that employers have been know to create jobs to take incentives and then layoff the workers when the incentives end, Mr. Layton seemed lost for a response. The long-term strategy would be to invest in education and training that keep jobs in Canada, he said. The tax credit, he said, is a "short-term strategy to get people back to work."
Mr. Layton has spent much time in Quebec and British Columbia in this election but only a few days in Ontario. Reporters asked if voters might ask why he has not focused more of his attention on Canada's largest province.
"Well actually, we have been in Ontario a fair bit and you can only be in one place at a time. We're a party that's opposed to cloning," he quipped.
Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe, meanwhile, said in a radio interview Tuesday morning that Mr. Layton has as much chance of forming the federal government as the Natural Law Party, which promoted transcendental meditation and what it called "yogic flying," a form of levitation.
"Well, the only levitation you see in Quebec right now," Mr. Layton countered, "is the levitation of the numbers of the NDP."

Hi everyone!Its been a while since I posted on here but I am in need of your help.
I have a large amount of information which tells our users what services we have available i.e. "Which service do you need?"
Within this section just now there are headings and then sub headings below this.
Im looking for good examples which are online for design ideas on how to make this as user friendly as possible but also get as much information over to the users as well.
Any questions, give me a shout as I am sure I havent explained myself very well.
Thanks Ralph.Im looking for something eye catching but at the same time usable by all.
Im currently thinking along the lines of : University of St Andrews - Scotland's first university, founded 1413 , have an image, show maybe the top 6 topics or subjects and then further in to the page you have more options. The risk here though is that people dont see the information they want on the front page and so think there isnt anything for them.
Any other thoughts or ideas?
One option is to hide most of the content with JavaScript, with just the main headings showing, allowing users to see just the info they are interested in (by clicking the heading). (If you take this route, however, make sure that the page works with JS off.)
Mind you, I'm not a big fan of JS. Perhaps a better option is to divide the info ver multiple pages?
Or at least have an index at the top of the page (as on WikiPedia). That way, people can choose a topic from the menu, then jump back to the menu (via a "back to top" or "back to menu" link).
Does anyone have any good examples of task-based websites?
A lot of the information I am trying to sort out is to do with tasks the users will be doing, i.e. order a new laptop, download a form, request a new seat etc.

Seen 'n Heard
At the 2009 ALMA Awards…
The 5 Minute Low Down with Pitbull
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro! Who hasn't heard that contagious chorus in the last few months?! Hit after hit, the man born Armando Christian Pérez, better known by his stage name Pitbull, continues to build a loyal following as an American [Latino] recording artist with flavor and straight up talent. His first recorded performance was from the 2002 Lil Jon album, Kings of Crunk, after which he released his 2004 debut album, M.I.A.M.I (Money Is a Major Issue). Since then, the unstoppable Pitbull has released two other albums El Mariel (2006) and The Boatlift (2007). He is also the host of his own Spanish-language cable program La Esquina; all the while having sold out shows across the country in a variety of venues and festivals.
So who is Pitbull? He's the kind of dude that both women AND men like. He's cool. A sharp dresser with talent, energy and drive. In his seamless flow between English and Spanish, with some Spanglish thrown in underscoring a flow that can be simultaneously fast, brilliant and, yes, n-a-s-t-y—there is no denying that he makes you want to shake your ass-even if you don't dance. He's a Cuban/American based in Miami and making his presence known and felt throughout the country. We recently caught up with Pitbull on the Red Carpet of the 2009 ALMA awards. This is what he had to say.
Lowrider (LR): What's next for Latinos in the entertainment world?
Pitbull (Pit): We are taking over (!)— Whether they like it or not. We know how to take advantage of opportunities that we're given; that goes to show how our families did when they came to the states.
More then anything, just like Lowrider Magazine continues to grow, [we too] continue to work hard, continue to struggle, it ain't easy. But if it was– it wouldn't be worth fighting for.
There is noting like sacrifice and being able to struggle and hustle for what we believe in. And that is what is going to happen with the whole movement musically and entertainment as a whole.
LR: There are many, but what are the issues in our community that we need to take ownership of?
Pit: Yes there are a lot of issues, and yes, lot of problems; but you always have to think 'no problems—just solutions'.
The two issues are, first in our communities: if we don't go out there and vote, if we don't go out there and march, go out there and show them how powerful our voices are, nothing will ever change.
Secondly, we have to go out there and show that we want change and that we want them to put an eye on these issues and respect where we are coming from.
LR: What does it mean to you to be at ALMA Awards, an all-Latino show produced by the National Council of La Raza.
Pit: Goes to show you what it is to work hard, what it is to struggle. It goes to show you how powerful we are, when we are united.
LR: Amen to that.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The NFL's executive vice president says league leadership wants the Vikings to remain in Minnesota but is worried about what might happen if the team's Metrodome lease expires without a plan in place to build a new stadium.
Eric Grubman and another NFL VP met Tuesday with Gov. Mark Dayton to talk stadium politics as the governor pushes for a November special session on the issue.
Grubman says the NFL wants the Vikings in Minnesota but he's worried a "stalemate'' would ensue if there's no stadium agreement at the State Capitol by the time the Metrodome lease expires at the end of the year.
Grubman says that could leave an opening for an alternative plan in another city seeking an NFL franchise. Grubman leads the league's business operations.

THE violence in Karachi reminds me of a 1960s' western film The Magnificent Seven, starring Yul Brynner.
It is about bandits terrorising farmers of a village to pay 'protection money'.
A group of these bandits ride on horses to remind the farmers, and one of them pulls out his gun and shoots one farmer dead. The leader very casually threatens the farmers: "No protection money, no protection."
The Magnificent Seven encouraged the farmers to fight back and join in with them to confront the bandits. The farmers armed themselves with spears, axes, whatever weapons they could lay their hands on as they were not trained fighters.
Are we living in an era where there is no civilisation?

WASHINGTON (Apr. 1)
A Washington rabbi and a Jesuit priest, the first Catholic clergyman to win a seat in the United States Congress, expressed opposite views last night on public aid to parochial schools. They addressed a forum, sponsored by the American Jewish Committee, on the issue of religion and public education. Rep. John Drinan, Massachusetts Democrat who was elected last November, proposed that an experiment should be undertaken in teaching "about religion" on all levels of the country's public schools. "All religions of mankind are worthy of study." Drinan said. He argued that religious community support for religious schools is insufficient. Rabbi Joshua O. Haberman, of the Washington Hebrew Congregation, said he favored private religious schools and did not oppose State aid for them in terms of welfare services such as health and transportation. He said, however, that he objected to State support of curricular functions of private schools, but that the schools should be supported by their respective religious communities. Rabbi Haberman, who preached the sermon last month at President Nixon's White House religious services, echoed some administration attitudes toward the mass media. He claimed that the media promotes "neo-paganism" and since its impact was irreversible, "it is necessary to develop individuals who will not be swept away by the media." He said that could only be achieved through intensive religious training. He claimed that the threat of neo-paganism to human value is greater than the price which will have to be paid for religious bigotry.

Finland's Kimi Raikkonen will stay at Lotus next year, the Formula One team said on Monday after making the announcement in a video posted on YouTube.
"We're delighted Kimi is staying with us for 2013," the British-based team said on their official Twitter feed (@Lotus_F1Team) after posting a link to the film clip.
Raikkonen, who won the 2007 title with Ferrari, made his Formula One comeback this season after ending a switch to the world rally championship.
The Finn has been the most consistent driver on the grid, with 14 successive scoring finishes and every racing lap completed. He has been on the podium six times in 2012.
The 33-year-old is third in the championship, 67 points off the lead, with three races to go despite not having won yet this season.
Team principal Eric Boullier told reporters after Sunday's Indian Grand Prix that neither Raikkonen nor French team mate Romain Grosjean were likely to win any of the season's final three races.
"Realistically I would be kidding people if I said we would win a race this year," he said.
"Yes I can be frustrated at not getting this missing, or elusive, win but we had a good start to the season with a new package and two new drivers. If you put us in the same position next year then it will be a different story."
Raikkonen was seventh in India, Grosjean ninth.
Boullier said an announcement on the full driver line-up could be expected soon.
Grosjean, despite several first corner crashes of the kind that got him suspended for the Italian Grand Prix in September, is almost certain to be kept on as well.

Ryu's second round of 61 has opened up a four shot lead over the Netherland's Christel Boeljon who in turn is three shots ahead of Australia's Nikki Campbell and Ryu's fellow Korean Bo Mee Lee.
The current US Women's Open Champion produced 12 birdies, her one bogey coming at the second after missing the fairway.
"I missed the fairway there and a makeable par putt then at the next I missed a one metre eagle putt," said Ryu after her round. "I found the key straight away, that being that I was getting too technical over the putt. I just then tried to rely on feel and my putting got better."
Over the next 15 holes it certainly did get better. She holed massive putts for birdie at the 9th and again for birdie at the 11th. When she hit a superb fairway bunker approach to three feet at the demanding par four 13th Ryu had joined Boeljon in the lead and, when she then birdied the par three fourteenth, the 21 year old had moved ahead.
She was not about to stop there however. Birdies at the 15th and 16th had her at at 16 under and three ahead of the field. Not only had her lead increased but so too had the chance of a possible 59. The short par four 17th and the reachable par five 18th lay ahead and there was a mathematical chance she could become the first woman in the history of Australian golf to break 60.
Her focus however was on a round of 61 as that would beat her previous best by one. The birdie at the 17th did not happen but at the last and so keen on bettering her previous best round of 62 she hit one of the most delightful bunker shots imaginable from the bunker behind the green to a foot. It was all of 30 metres and from a downhill lie. It was inch perfect and sealed what had been a brilliant afternoon of golf.
"I am happy as I really wanted to change that number and now I can," said Ryu referring to the fact that she has regularly marked her ball with a 62 as recognition of her previous milestone.
This week and the next three were to be a trial for her new caddy, Australian, Tom Watson. If the opening two days of this event are any indication, Watson can feel at ease regarding his future role with Ryu and it may just be that the feeling is mutual
"Tom makes me feel very comfortable with his conversation so it is going well," added Ryu.
Boeljoen, a 24 year old Dutchwoman and a winner of the Turkish Open on the Ladies European Tour last year, played in the morning field this morning and appeared to have set a very difficult target for the afternoon field when she finished with birdies at the 16th and 17th and then holed a 35 foot eagle putt at the last to take a three shot lead as she signed her card.
Boeljen won the Turkish Open last year and has been runner-up on five other occasions so while not a familiar name in this country her form is no real surprise. Interestingly for the lady who attended Pursue University in Indiana it is the first time she has made the cut in this event.
"Yes, it is true," she said referring to the fact she had not previously made the cut at Royal Pines. "My goal was to make the cut finally. And I think I accomplished that. First tournament of the year, first two rounds, very welcome."
So what was the reason for her previous poor form in this event? "I don't know, I think it is always tough, being the first tournament of the year. You have to get your rhythm back, just get use to playing again.
"This year it seems to be alright, in the previous years, I've always had a little bit of trouble on the greens, always had too much break and it showed. Now it's just what it is, I don't want to read too much into the putts.
"I think I'm better prepared, I have more experience. I had a really good practice session (in Orlando) before I got here. Every golfer needs to learn, and I'm learning as I go, it just seems to work this week. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm taking it."
Bo Mee Lee led after her opening round of 65 but today she was unable to take full advantage of her morning tee time but at 10 under she is at least within touch of Ryu.
Campbell played in the afternoon today and added her second consecutive round of 67 to be at 10 under. The former Australian Amateur Champion and the runner-up in the event last year was only average through her opening nine holes but she played strongly over the closing nine holes and she looks well placed to continue her good record at Royal Pines having finished 5th and 6th in previous years in addition to her runner-up to Yani Tseng last year.
Italian Diana Luna and American Amelia Lewis both recorded second rounds of 64 on opposite sides of the draw and share 5th position at 9 under but a massive eight shots from Ryu's lead.
While the day ended on a positive it was not the case when three players were disqualified early in the day for taking the lift clean and place ruling in place this week just a little too far. The trio of amateur Annie Choi, Corie Hou and Inhong Lim asked the question when they reached their first tee of the day regarding the lift clean and place ruling and whether it applied to the fairways only or for all of the golf course.
The ruling applied to only balls on the fairway and when it was pointed out to them they had been in the wrong they were advised of their disqualification.
It was a disappointing start for what would however turn into an outstanding day.
High profile casualties of the cut mark of 1 under were Katherine Hull, Kristie Smith and Melissa Reid.
The focus over the next 36 holes however will be whether anyone can catch the brilliant Ryu. She has displayed an almost faultless game to date this week and given what we have seen thus far it is hard to imagine her being caught over the final days.
This though is tournament golf and although she has put a huge gap on the only player ranked higher than her in the event, Stacy Lewis, there are plenty of others who could yet challenge Ryu for the title.

Jeremy Scott presented his first runway show for Moschino's Fall 2014 season last night in Milan. The cheeky American is known for his irreverent proclivities, and has plucked inspiration from the Flintstones, Bart Simpson, and even Coca Cola for his eponymous line. Whatever he chooses, his symbols are always salient, familiar, and global. For Moschino, he chose Spongebob, McDonalds, and a handful of cereal and snacks you can find in your Supermarket Junkfood Aisle.
It really doesn't get more American than a lovable, blue eyed sponge and the golden arches, which Scott reconfigured slightly to symbolize Moschino, with the tag line, "Over 20 Billion Served." Purses in the shape of Happy Meal boxes and Supersized Drinks accessorized cow printed suits; a model dressed as an erstwhile waitress served a quilted 'M' bag on a silver platter, punctuating her ensemble with an 'M' emblazoned visor.
Then came the American gangsters, most notably a pursed lip Jourdan Dunn in a low slung quilted pant and jacket combo, with Moschino logo'd undergarments on full display, à la Tommy Hilfiger in the 90's. Other models sported multiple gold chains, quilted vests, hot pants, and mini skirts.
Sponge Bob made funny faces on short sweater dresses, or laughed maniacally on turtlenecks. 'Spongy' spots played on yellow fur jackets and lace up heeled boots.
The evening wear was sugary sweet with zero nutritional value. Ball gowns were draped and twisted from prints of Cheetos, chocolate bars, Fruit Loops, Budweiser, and more.
If this how Scott wanted to make an entrance, what a grand entrance it was! Though Moschino has always had fun with fashion, it seems as if Jeremy Scott's visage was that of Spongebob, making silly faces and having a good laugh at the people who were crazy enough to hire him.
But in some ways it totally works. We're paying attention. He didn't play it safe. And he'll undoubtedly find fans in famous friends Rita Ora and Katy Perry, who attended and walked in the show.
Of course a designer must infuse his style into a house, but some pieces, particularly the Spongebob ensembles, are just Jeremy Scott 2.0–something he'd show in New York to a less glamorous, more downtown crowd. How the collection will sell is to be determined. His collaborations from Adidas to Longchamp have cult like followings; and there's no reason to believe Moschino Fall 2014 won't have a similar consumer base.

text: Politics 20 May 2013 Equality campaigners divided over "wrecking" amendment to gay marriage bill While some support the introduction of civil partnerships for heterosexuals, others warn of a "dark" and "cynical" attempt by Tory MPs to destroy the bill. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML After devoting last week to an esoteric debate over Europe, this week is set to be another in which the Conservative Party demonstrates its increasingly tenuous relationship with the modern world. The gay marriage bill is back in the Commons for its report stage and David Cameron is likely to face a revolt on the scale of that in February when 136 Conservative MPs opposed the legislation. Before the main vote tomorrow, MPs will vote tonight on an amendment tabled by former Tory minister Tim Loughton that would extend civil partnerships to heterosexual couples. Loughton, who opposes same-sex marriage, insists that the amendment has been submitted in good faith, but the government is briefing that it is an attempt to "wreck" the legislation. (It's worth pausing to note the oddity of Tory MPs opposing gay marriage, which won't "undermine" the institution of marriage, while supporting heterosexual partnerships, which certainly will.) It has warned that the change could delay the passage of the bill by up to two years and cost the government an additional £4bn in pension liabilities. On the Today programme this morning, equalities minister Maria Miller said: Look, I want to be seeing marriages being undertaken under this new bill as early as next summer and to actually put in at this stage such a fundamental change I believe risks that and it risks significant delay and I think those that are supporting it need to be very aware of that. Miller's words were a warning to Labour, which has pledged to support the amendment on the grounds of equality. It has dismissed the government's warnings as "farcical", noting that the supposed size of the "price tag" has grown from £3bn to £4bn in five days. Some Labour MPs also believe that ministers may be preparing to use the passage of the amendment as a convenient excuse to abandon the bill. But other equality campaigners echo the government's concerns. Despite long supporting the introduction of civil partnerships for heterosexuals, the Lib Dems are set to vote against the amendment for fear that it will wreck the bill. Lynne Featherstone, the former equalities minister, said: "The people pushing these changes are not those with records of supporting equality and marriage rules that accommodate a diversity of couples. "The proposals are coming from those who are avowed and determined opponents of equal marriage. Have they suddenly become converts to the cause of equality? "Given their public statements I fear what is at work here is rather darker and more cynical – a deliberate attempt to wreck the legislation." In addition, the gay rights group Stonewall has said that it is "anxious about anything that could delay this much needed change in the law to bring about marriage equality". But other campaigners, most notably Peter Tatchell, have urged MPs to support the amendment to correct a long standing injustice. Asked if he was concerned that Loughton and other Tory MPs were proposing it simply to "wreck" the bill, he said: "Yes, I am concerned but we should do the right thing, regardless of their shabby motives. Equality for all. You can't fault that." The outcome is now likely to rest on whether the government can persuade Labour that its warnings are sincere and that it should reconsider its position. › A dissenting tradition: The New Statesman and the left David Cameron addresses guests at the gay pride reception in the garden at 10 Downing Street, in central London on June 16, 2010.

South Carolina scrimmaged for the ninth and final time during preseason camp on Sunday in front of several hundred supporters at Carolina Stadium. The 2013 season-opener is at 3 p.m. on Friday against Liberty in the first of a three-game series.
Home -- LF Graham Saiko, SS Joey Pankake, 1B LB Dantzler, C Grayson Greiner, DH Erik Payne, RF TJ Costen, 3B Chase Vergason, EH Tanner English
Visitor -- RF Ahmad Christian, CF Shon Carson, 2B Connor Bright, 3B George Iskenderian, DH Brison Celek, 1B Kyle Martin, SS DC Arendas, C Dante Rosenberg, LF Sean Sullivan, EH Ryan Ripken
SCRIMMAGE SUMMARY: Because of stiff competition at multiple spots among the everyday lineup and pitching staff, Chad Holbrook must deal with plenty of questions about the roster before Friday's season's lid-lifter against Liberty.
However, he answered two of them after Sunday's scrimmage at Carolina Stadium. Erik Payne, a junior who has enjoyed a tremendous camp at the plate and had a double and two walks Sunday, will likely be the designated hitter in the Opening Day lineup, Holbrook said.
In addition, Holbrook confirmed that football players Ahmad Christian and Shon Carson have earned spots on the 2013 roster, although both players have struggled defensively at times in the outfield. But their speed and hitting skills (Christian has three singles and scored a run on Sunday) render them irresistible.
"Shon and Ahmad haven't played much outfield in the last couple of years, so they're learning that," Holbrook said. "They will. Good athletes get better at that really quick. I expect them to do that.
"I've been tickled to death with how Ahmad has played. He's probably one of our toughest outs. He's going to get in there and he's going to play."
Left-hander Jordan Montgomery and senior righty Colby Holmes confirmed the belief of the coaches when preseason camp started - they are USC's two pitchers and will pitch on the weekend. The identity of the third weekend starter, though, remains an open question.
Which pitcher throws on which day is still a topic of debate between Holbrook and pitching coach Jerry Meyers. Still, the odds of Montgomery or Holmes starting on Opening Day are overwhelming.
Coming into the weekend, the battle for Sunday mostly involved senior Nolan Belcher and freshman Jack Wynkoop, but senior Patrick Sullivan threw himself into the discussion with an outstanding outing on Sunday.
"Obviously, Colby and Jordan are going to throw for sure on the weekend," Holbrook said. "I don't know the order yet. We have to have some conversations with (Meyers) about that Sunday spot. Wynkoop and Nolan Belcher are in the mix. Patrick Sullivan, with the way he has thrown, is in the mix too. He threw the best since he's been here yesterday. So, we have some deserving guys in that spot. We'll make that decision sometime early in the week."
Holbrook expects to make the final decisions on cuts by Wednesday and releasing the final 35-man roster on Thursday, about 24 hours before the first pitch against Liberty, which is coached by former USC assistant Jim Toman.
Holbrook said that six of the eight non-pitching starting jobs have been finalized.
"I'm very encouraged. We have a number of talented guys that deserve to play," Holbrook said. "The unfortunate part for me is we have more than nine. It won't be an easy deal to put together the starting lineup. But that's a good problem to have. We have a number of guys that deserve to play. Some guys have stood out and some guys have really worked hard. It's going to be a very difficult call. Some guys are going to be left out that deserve to be on it.
"The things I'm most pleased with are the way our pitchers have thrown the ball and the way we've played defense, especially in the infield and behind the plate. We have a chance to be in most games because of the way we'll pitch and play defense."
Tanner English didn't take the field defensively on Sunday, but made four trips to the plate and continued to work on becoming a solid switch-hitter, batting twice from each side of the plate. English has cut down his strikeouts during preseason camp, a key goal when camp started in late January.
"The switch-hitting thing has been good for him," Holbrook said. "He's making contact a lot more. That will increase his on-base percentage, and that's what is most important for Tanner."
Kyle Martin continued to challenge LB Dantzler for the starting job at first base with two doubles and a walk on Sunday.
"That was a big day for him because he has struggled," Holbrook said. "He's had a tough preseason. But today it was good to see him swing the bat well. He's big and strong and can put a charge in some balls. I don't think he's going to start at first base on Opening Day, but he'll get his fair share of at-bats."
On Sunday, the visiting team (reserves) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Ryan Ripken drove home DC Arendas with an infield single into the hole between short and third.
Ripken had two singles on Sunday and has displayed steady improvement at the plate over the past week or so. However, much work remains before he earns a spot in the USC lineup.
"He did fine this weekend. But he hasn't played as well (overall) as he would have liked to up until this weekend," Holbrook said. "He's had some pressure on him. All eyes are on him because of his last name. That's probably unfair for Ryan. He did have a good weekend and that was good to see."
The home team (starters) knotted the score in the bottom half of the second when Payne doubled to left, advanced to third on a groundout and strolled home on a RBI single by TJ Costen.
The visitors regained the lead with two outs in the top of the fourth when backup catcher Dante Rosenberg singled, moved to second on a walk and third on a single by Ripken. Reliever Austin Hill balked Rosenberg home to make it 2-1.
Evening the score in the bottom half of the fourth, the home team strung together a single by Dantzler, a walk to Payne and a run-scoring single by freshman Curt Britt to right off Kris Nelson in the bottom of the fourth.
Rosenberg's two-out, two-run homer to left gave the visitors a 4-2 lead in the top of the sixth. Minutes later, Joey Pankake greeted new hurler Cameron Tewksbury in crowd-pleasing style by powering the left-hander's first offering of the inning over the left-field wall for a solo homer in the bottom half of the inning.
Pankake's long ball proved to be the final run of the scrimmage for the scrimmage. The visitors added three runs off Drake Thomason in the top of the seventh when Bright doubled in Christian and Carson.
The home team wasted a golden scoring opportunity in the eighth when Britt's sharp grounder to short with the bases loaded turned into an inning-ending double play.
Closer Tyler Webb worked the top of the eighth for his second appearance of the weekend, retiring the side on three consecutive fly-outs. Ten different pitchers took the mound on Sunday, some of whom presumably won't make the final 35-man roster.

Many chairs have fixed cushions or cushions that do not unscrew from the underside of the chair. This type of cushion is not difficult to upholster, providing the supports for the cushion are in good shape. Placing a new cover over the chair seat will make the chair look updated and clean. Select a durable upholstery fabric and purchase fabric 20 inches wider and longer than the measurements of the chair seat.
Things You'll Need
- Pry bar
- Flat screwdriver
- Pliers
- Quilt batting
- Tack and hammer
- Staple gun
- Utility knife
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Cutting mat
- Cutting wheel
- Straight edge
- Ruler
- Cord
- Sewing machine
Remove the old cover using a small pry bar, flat screwdriver and pliers. Pull off the double welting or trim and set it aside. Pry up or pull out the upholstery tacks or staples along the wood edge. Remove the fabric once the tacks are removed.
Center the new fabric over the cushion material. If the cushion material has holes or an uneven surface, tack quilt batting over the material to make the surface as smooth as possible. Pull on the top layer of the batting to tear it close to the nail head to hide the head.
Trim the batting along the edge of the wood using a sharp utility knife. Center the upholstery fabric on the chair seat. Tack or staple the front center 1/4 inch from the wood edge. Tack with a hammer and tack. Pull the fabric toward the back to stretch it taut. Tack or staple the back center 1/4 inch from the wood edge.
Tack or staple the center of each side the same way. Add tacks or staples away from the center in the same pattern: Top, bottom, side, side. Trim the fabric, turn it under and fit it as close to the wood as possible.
Cut the fabric carefully along the wood edge and away from the tacks. Make double welting or use commercial trim to cover the tack heads. Double welting is made of the same fabric as the chair seat. Welting is a cord wrapped in fabric.
Place a square of the fabric on the cutting mat. Cut a strip of fabric on the 45 degree bias. Each strip should be 1 1/2 inches plus the diameter of two cords.
Join strips together by placing one strip vertically face side up and the second horizontal and face down. Sew a diagonal seam from the top left to the bottom right where the two strips overlap. Trim the seam to 1/4 inch and iron it flat. Join as many strips as you need to go around the perimeter of the chair.
Fold the strip wrong sides together along its length and insert two cords into the fold. Sew in between the cords. Bring the raw fabric end over the double cords and sew between the cords a second time. Trim the excess fabric close to the seam.
Hot glue the double welting over the exposed staples or tacks. Hide the end as much as possible.
Tips & Warnings
- You can hot glue commercial trim instead of welting although it is often hard to find a color and shape that match well.

The Shipwreck
In a 1757 essay on aesthetics, English philosopher Edmund Burke described "the sublime" in art. For Burke, a sublime landscape communicated the awesome power of nature, whether through storm, fire, or other natural disaster, and the misfortune it caused. A sublime work like
would both thrill and terrorize the viewer, all from a safe distance.

Sarah's Emergency Room is a time management and hospital simulation game where players take on the role of a young nurse, caring for patients in fast-paced hospital environments.
The game casts players as Sarah, a young nurse who has recently graduated from college in California and is struggling to find a job. In a twist of fate, Sarah is hired for a nursing position at a small hospital in Arkansas, where she discovers that managing an emergency room is a bit harder than she expected. At the hospital, she tends to all patients who walk through the door, diagnosing, taking X-rays, filling prescriptions and assisting in the operating room. Play through the game's narrative to the exciting conclusion -- will Sarah's career as a nurse be a success?
- Players will direct the nurse, Sarah, and the patients, rushing between doctors and exam rooms.
- When working at larger hospitals, players will see multiple on-screen levels, enabling them to manage different floors, moving players with the elevator.
