Detroit Pistons Draft Dreams: Alec Burks
A lot of fans won't want to hear this, but the Pistons may very well be in a position where the best player available if they don't move into the top three in the draft lottery will be a wing player. The Pistons are big-man needy, but look around the NBA. That's a pretty common problem, and the best bigs at the top of the draft could be off the board if the Pistons pick in the 7-10 range. So what's a team to do? Maybe draft Alec Burks. The Pistons seemed to do OK with another high-scoring former Colorado guard in Chauncey Billups.
Measurables: 6-foot-6, 195 pounds, sophomore G from Colorado
Key stats: 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists per game while shooting 47 percent
Projected: Lottery
How would he help the Pistons?
Size and athleticism-wise, Burks is the prototypical NBA shooting guard. He gets to the rim and finishes as well as anyone in college basketball. He's a good rebounder for a guard. His quickness, size and long arms could allow him to become a very good defensive player. The Pistons had a lot of players play in isolation this season. It looked ugly because they don't have a player capable of consistently getting good shots out of those iso situations. Burks was that player, however, at the college level. He shot 53 and 47 percent at Colorado, has an ability to set up teammates and he's perhaps the most intriguing prospect in the lower half of the lottery.
How wouldn't he help the Pistons?
First and foremost, he has to shoot better from the perimeter. He shot 29 percent from three last season. That's not a major red flag as several athletic perimeter players come into the NBA needing work on their jumpers (Derrick Rose, John Wall and Russell Westbrook are recent examples). But in the likely event that Rodney Stuckey is back as the team's point guard, would the Pistons be able to play two guys who are more comfortable slashing to the basket in the same backcourt? With Stuckey, his lack of a jumper has been a hindrance to his slashing ability in the NBA because defenders simply sag off of him. Burks might find himself in that same boat if his jumper doesn't improve.
What are others saying?
Unlike most big-time scorers from small(er) colleges, Burks is a fairly unselfish player who is more than capable of making the extra pass. Even if he's often asked to be the one creating and finishing shots for his team (particularly late in the shot clock), he's a nice weapon to have in a half-court offense thanks to his solid court vision and good basketball IQ. When Colorado's starting point guard goes to the bench, Burks will man the position, which is a good indication of the versatility he brings to the table.
Burks is one of the best athletes in the draft and our top rated SG in our Top 100. His ability to get to the rim and finish is the big draw for NBA execs. If he was a better shooter, he'd be a top 5 pick. As it stands right now, he's a likely lottery pick.
In two years, Burks has made his mark on the Colorado record book. His career scoring average (19.0) ranks only behind Cliff Meely (24.3) and Shaun Vandiver (20.6). He holds CU freshman (512 points) and sophomore (779) scoring records. And as a sophomore he became the first Buff in history to reach 770 points, 240 rebounds and 100 assists in the same season.

i'm high on this kid and wouldn't mind seeing the Pistons draft him and clear Gordon, Rip, and White from the roster. Stuckey and Burks would be a ferocious defense combo for the Pistons and absolutely deadly in the open court if the Pistons choose to play up-tempo. From watching his mechanics, i believe burks will develop into a good precentage shooter inside the arc. And if you have Daye and CV on the court to stretch the defense, you don't necessarily need your point or 2 man to be a three point threat.
i like this kid alot but obviously we have greater need for a big.

and hey, how about Jeff Teague? I was really high on him coming out of college and could not figure out why he could not get time in Atlanta. I posted a couple of comments suggesting that the Pistons trade for him. The boy is having a great series.

Yeah it sounds like he could be the play maker we are looking for. Maybe kinda similar to Joe Johnson or Andre Iguodala, from what I am readying it sounds like he is a better play maker than Brandon Knight and Kemba Walker. If he sells himself as a defensive stopper, a willing passer, and a great finisher. I think he will do well in the NBA the shot will come almost every up in coming start had to improve there jump shot.

|Clyde L. Golby, 84
|Written by TRF Times
Karlstad - Clyde L. Golby, 84, died at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, N.D. on Tuesday morning, February 22, 2005.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, February 26 at Bethel Lutheran Church in Karlstad, with Rev. Mitch Tolpingrud officiating. Casket bearers included all of Clyde's grandchildren. Interment was held at Karlstad Cemetery in Karlstad. Military honors were provided by the Karlstad American Legion Post 445.
Clyde LeRoy Golby, the son of the late William and Cora (Olen) Golby, was born on March 2, 1920, in Painted Woods, N.D. At the age of 2, he moved with his family to the Williams-Roosevelt area, and at age 9, to the Karlstad area, where he grew to manhood.
Clyde attended the former Beaton School near his home, and was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. At the age of 15, he began working for area farmers. Clyde served with the U.S. Army from January of 1943 until November of 1945, and following discharge, returned to the Karlstad area. On October 21, 1947, Clyde was united in marriage to Ruth Kleven in Lancaster. The couple had since made their home on their present farm in Deerwood Township, Kittson County, near Karlstad.
Clyde was employed by the Karlstad Auto Parts for 30 years, and later, worked for various area farmers. He was a member of the Bethel Lutheran Church of Karlstad and served on the church council. He also was a member of the Karlstad American Legion Post 445. For the past three years, he resided at the Karlstad Healthcare Center.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth; one son, Roger (Linda), of Annandale; three daughters, Charlotte (Paul) Brodin of Grand Forks; Ann (Wayne) Voth of Karlstad; and Helen Beito of Thief River Falls; step-son, Ronald (Diane) Kleven of Grafton, N.D.; 12 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

LANSING (AP) — Rick Snyder is a man with a knack for not only crunching numbers but figuring out what's the next big thing.
Those talents have made him wealthy, both as a venture capitalist and as an instrumental force in the growth of Gateway Inc., the computer maker he guided to great success between 1991 and 1997. He remained on the board for another decade, until the then-fading company was sold to Taiwan-based Acer Inc.
Now, Snyder wants to become the state of Michigan's chief executive officer. His run for governor has reflected his character — upbeat, carefully plotted, with a laser-like focus on Michigan's biggest problem: the lack of jobs.
The Republican has marketed himself as "one tough nerd," making a strength out of his distinctively CPA-like personality with its attention to detail and focus on the bottom line. In typical fashion, he once created an elaborate spreadsheet for neighbors to use to judge the entries in a friendly meat loaf cook-off contest.
Chris Rizik, who co-founded the Ardesta venture capital fund with Snyder in 2000 and worked with him in the 1980s at Coopers and Lybrand — now PricewaterhouseCoopers — was at that meat loaf-judging contest several years ago at Snyder's Gun Lake vacation home just west of Hastings. He warns that anyone who underestimates the 52-year-old is making a mistake.
In a meeting, "Rick will sit back, he'll listen to what everybody has to say, and by the time it gets to him, he'll have synthesized all this (information) ... and come up with a recommendation," says Rizik, 49. "He's usually a couple steps ahead of you."
After years of state budget crises, lost jobs and partisan wrangling, Rizik thinks Michigan would benefit from having Snyder at the helm.
"The worst thing you can be is an emotional venture capitalist. Rick is particularly good at keeping a cool head," he says. "The ability to stay cool and the ability to think about the long term are exactly what we need in this state."
Snyder has gotten over the shyness that plagued him at some of his early campaign appearances, although he usually sticks closely to the script during the more than 60 town hall meetings he has held so far.
He talks about unifying the state so there's less competition between the eastern and western sides, the Upper and Lower peninsulas or the rural and urban areas. That appeals to Patty Jaimon of Zeeland, who attended a recent Snyder town hall meeting at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids and plans to vote for him.
"Rick Snyder has the passion to lead Michigan ... and a vision for Michigan," she says.
Much of Snyder's 10-point plan for "reinventing" Michigan consists of many ideas Republicans typically espouse — less government spending, more government efficiency, less regulation, lower taxes. He wants to eliminate the Michigan Business Tax and replace it with a corporate income tax, a move that would cut business taxes $1.5 billion. He also wants to do away with the personal property tax and says he opposes a graduated income tax.
He tends to brush aside social issues, a move that sometimes angers social conservatives. While he opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother's life, he supports embryonic stem cell research and says he'll follow the public's will in allowing marijuana to be legal for medicinal use.
He's widely endorsed by the business community but has made few inroads with unions, although he met with at least one influential union leader after winning the Aug. 3 GOP primary. He also has reached out to black leaders in Detroit and is wooing independents and Democrats.
Since returning to Michigan, where he and his family live in a spacious home in Washtenaw County's Superior Township, Snyder has helped create Washtenaw County's economic development agency, Ann Arbor SPARK. He also was the first board chairman of the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
Even with those government agency experiences, he can sound naive about exactly what state government does. Asked during a public radio call-in program if he'd ensure that concentrated animal feeding operations — also known as factory farms or CAFOs — don't pollute groundwater, Snyder rhapsodized about family farms and said environmental regulations were sometimes applied too harshly to agriculture.
"If you look at it from a farmer's interest, they're the best stewards of the land. What interest do they have in doing harm to the environment?" he said. "We shouldn't have a default setting to say, 'They're bad people.' We need a default setting, 'These people are actually trying to help.'"
Most of Michigan's roughly 200 CAFOs aren't family farms, and regulating them has been a challenge for state environmental quality experts. They typically house thousands of animals, ranging from pigs to poultry, and a farm with 5,000 cows produces as much waste in a day as a city the size of Lansing.
Some of the biggest operations are run by Vreba-Hoff Dairy Development LLC, an Ohio-based company that helps farmers from the Netherlands set up dairy farms in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. The company has paid hefty penalties for manure spills and failing to set up new sewage treatment systems at its two farms near Hudson.
Snyder agrees there are areas where he's going to have to rely on others' expertise if elected governor. But he also is a quick study and a hard worker, as the Battle Creek native proved when he managed, by the age of 23, to earn his bachelor's degree, master's degree in business administration and law degree, all from the University of Michigan.
"I've been a person that's ... gotten stuff done" he says. Now, he wants to apply that ability to bring Michigan citizens together and rebuild the state.
"Let's not get into the old mantra of saying, 'We're here to fight,'" he says. "This is about reinventing Michigan, because that's what matters."

If her early results are any indication, Tonya was more accepted by international judges than her own country.
The USFSA wanted their skaters to be princess - packaged like Sumners and Fleming. Even skaters like Zayak caught a lot of heat for being too athletic. Tonya, with her fireball presence, was closer to Manley and Ito.
As an aside, I always wondered if there hadn't been the scandal, how Harding would have done in Lillehammer had she skated clean. My guess is that with the amazing short program she produced at Skate America 1993, and with a 5 or 6 triple free, she could have taken silver or bronze.

Where detail is something that has no big significance to the world. Yep I think that's the root of all disagreement here.
My guess, again, just a guess, is that Book 1 was planned fairly well. The aftermath wasn't, imo the summer updates and "Love is a Battlefield" were struggling to find a new direction. And I would not be surprised if said direction has yet to cristalize (even though various important looking aspects were revealed, like TGMtTA, the Predictamancer conspiracy, stuff that looks like thematic foreshadowing Fate vs Free Will ...). To stop dodging the question, I would not be surprised if the fourth Arkentool is undefined right now.
That's just me though, being contrarian.

New Diabetes Research Chair for Central Florida
A new research chair for Central Florida is being funded by a 250-thousand dollar donation from a Winter Park family.
[TRI Scientific Director Dr. Steven Smith with von Weller family]
Butch and Karen von Weller are the donors for the chair at the Florida Hospital Sanford-Burnham Translational Research Institute for Metabolism and Diabetes, or T-R-I. Butch von Weller said he felt moved to make the donation because his adult daughter has been living with Type 1 diabetes from an early age. The family's involvement with the American Diabetes Association was also influential.
"When this opportunity came up to get involved with the TRI, as they call it, it just seemed like a good thing to do, I think they're going to make a difference," he said.
Type 1 or juvenile diabetes is a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough insulin. von Weller says as diabetes research progresses, he'd like to see more work in the area of gene therapy as a potential cure.
A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the donation amount. The correct amount is $250,000.

"Excellent quality for the price. We live on a very warm area, and these are comfortable and breathable. Perfect for summer months. " (E1868)

Thats why I like the woods no cars to deal with your not upsetting anyone, I to have been upset with some cyclists on the main roads, that think they own them, however I think the majority of the posters here are responsible cyclists and obey the street rules. I hate the Mountain Bikers that get out in the woods and leave thier empty power bar wrappers and empty water bottles and trash lying around, come on you brought with you tucked away in the camelbak take your trash with you.

Cruisin, your daughter's wedding dress is gorgeous! I wish I had the long legs to pull that off, wow it's so beautiful!
I made the mistake of going to the Pronovias website...so much for being productive tonight!
I should say that the dress is ivory with silver beading
i didnt think it was royal blue
that being said, i wish more people would branch out into diff colors when they marry.
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
OH WOW, cruisin, you would look amazing in that.Originally Posted by cruisin;3708494
Thank you too! I know! That is going to be a problem. I found a dress that I like on the Pronovias site (MOB dress). But, stores only have what they have. They won't order different styles or sizes that they don't have. [url

PR, the Latina is stunning. I just wish it were a different color. I feel uncomfortable wearing white of beige to a wedding.

crusin, Pronovias' telephone # is on the website.
They seem to welcome contact.
Called the Pronovias NYC store. They have the Linda dress, but the smallest size they have is a 14. No way it could be taken in enough for me . They only have records of what they have in their own store. So, I called the NJ stores. Only one store has it and as you have probably guessed, it's a 14. So, I'm out of luck with that one. I suppose that I could have it made, if I don't find something else I like as much or better.
Mama Cruisin is going to be a challenge
Is there a Pronovias store in a city with a skating competition? Double the fun and take a few "FSU friends" along.
I'm in Philly once a month. Just sayin'.

crusin, I also found this link:
I know you need to figure out what size you are; but if you can, you might be able to find the dress.
My niece has asked me to help in her search for a wedding dress!
She sent these examples of what she likes::
They seem very similar.
A visit to Tampa is in my future.
They are all beautiful, and I like that they aren't strapless. But the last one is my favorite.
Judging by these and cruisin's daughter's gown, the mermaid silhouette is fashionable now? It's pretty but (speaking as a not flat-tummy person) a little hard on those with too much below the waist, yes?

If you've ever made fun of an overweight person while watching a wedding video and later discovered it was you, it may be time to improve your health.
If your spouse left you, citing your enormous backside as the primary reason, it may be time to improve your health.
And, if you've ever been offered a job as the "before" model for some "Lose 59 lbs. of Belly Fat with One Simple Trick" website, it may be time to improve your health.
Even if these things didn't happen to you, you might recognize the need to improve your health. The good news is you already know how: Exercise and eat right. The bad news is you've known how for years but still haven't done anything about it ... until now.
Here are five of the simplest ways to do it ...
No. 5: Drink more fluids
You may have heard the "rule" that everybody should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. Of course, that recommendation seems to vary depending on which study you are reading at the time.
In reality, the Institute of Medicine suggests around 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day for men and 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) for women. Thus, the Mayo Clinic suggests that the old "8 by 8" rule should, at the very least, be reframed as a minimum of eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid per day, since all fluids count toward your daily total.
Don't let the initial annoyance of having to urinate seemingly every 12 minutes deter you from this simple way to improve your health. Being properly hydrated allows your body to absorb nutrients better, meaning more energy and less hunger.
Drinking enough fluids -- especially water -- also removes toxins, regulates body temperature, helps with metabolism and it protects and moisturizes joints.
It also helps you not eat like a pig ...
No. 4: Keep a food journal
Most people are unhealthy because they eat like pigs -- ironic, considering everybody knows that eating like a pig causes health problems. The problem isn't a lack of knowledge; it's a lack of accountability and discipline.
Writing down everything you eat makes you accountable and helps develop discipline (if your initial reaction to this idea is you couldn't possibly write down everything you eat because it would give you blisters, then you really need to write down what you eat).
According to a study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research, keeping a food journal DOUBLES the effectiveness of dieting.
Seeing "I ate 37 ice cream bars, 12 doughnuts, a cheeseburger, Crisco, and a diet Coke for lunch" written down forces one to evaluate his or her eating habits and change them.
Writing it down before you eat it gives you time to change your mind and maybe add some vegetables ...

nice case, but the zipper looks and feels cheap when you use it.. The rest of the case is pretty good and fits my table perfectly!
so I wouls wait till I've used it more to see how it performs and would definitely rate it again then...
exactly what I wanted. A perfect replacement for my old, worn out bag
While the size was everything it promised to be, the zipper has already broken and the bag is now unusable. Have only had for a short time and I am very disappointed. Why sell a product that won't last?
My previous case lasted 12+ years & would still be a good one if a new puppy had not decided to chew a hole in it. Makes me want to sew a patch on the old one & keep it.
Way better than my old earthlight case! padded shoulder strap and reinforced bottom are a huge plus.
ziper is not strong.

|Vern A. Wittenberg, 73
|Written by TRF Times
Gonvick - Vern Arland Wittenberg, 73, of Gonvick, died Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at Villa St. Vincent Nursing Home in Crookston, following complications of diabetes and kidney failure.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 2 at the Wittenberg Farm to celebrate his life.
Vern Arland Wittenberg was born on Aug. 31, 1938 in Bird Island to Loretta (Sprank) and Arnold Wittenberg. Vern joined the U.S. Army in 1957 and was stationed in Germany for the duration of his enlistment.

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments.
That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently.
It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year.
The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise.
Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board.
Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.)
Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said.
But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help.
School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including:
• assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation);
• capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually;
• increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15;
• requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable);
• grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program.
"We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program."
Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said.
The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month.

The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

Funding for education in New Jersey would be slashed by nearly $30 million and drastic cuts made to health care programs and environmental protection should Congress fail to halt $85 billion in "sequestration" spending cuts scheduled to take hold March 1, the White House said Sunday.
The federal government would save $75 million by furloughing 11,000 civilian military contractors, and another $59 million by cutting funding to military bases.
The cuts would include:
- Approximately $11.7 in funding for primary and secondary education.
- About $17 million in funds for about 210 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities.
- Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for approximately 1,300 children.
- New Jersey would lose about $4,891,000 in environmental funding, and $472,000 in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
- Approximately 11,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed.
- Army base operation funding would be cut by about $52 million in New Jersey. Funding for Air Force operations in New Jersey would be cut by about $7 million.
- New Jersey will lose about $336,000 in Justice Assistance Grants.
- Up to 600 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care.
- Around 3,930 fewer children will receive vaccines.
- New Jersey will lose approximately $840,000 in funds to help upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats, including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological events. New Jersey will lose about $2,330,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse, resulting in around 3,100 fewer admissions to substance abuse programs. And the New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior Services will lose about $752,000 resulting in around 18,800 fewer HIV tests.
- New Jersey could lose up to $187,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 700 fewer victims being served.
- Nutrition Assistance for Seniors: New Jersey would lose approximately $488,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors.
The total federal spending cuts would be about $1.2 trillion over the next nine years. Republicans have accused the president of using the impending cuts for political gain.
President Obama's plan asks for increased tax revenues to offset some of the trillion-dollar cuts.

|Cooprider Opens Strong On Pro Circuit
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Former UNCW standout Chris Cooprider, who powered the Seahawks to three NCAA Tournament appearances in his four seasons, is enjoying early success on the professional tennis circuit.
The Denver, Colo., native made his professional debut in Istanbul, Turkey, last week and went 1-1 in a qualifier. He received a wild card invitation into the main draw of this week's ITF F25 Turkey Futures event and knocked off a Turkish opponent to pick up his first ATP point before upsetting top-seeded and 259th-ranked Nikoloz Basilashvili of the Republic of Georgia in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, at the Tacspor Tennis Club.
The 22-year-old Cooprider, the Most Outstanding Performer at the 2013 CAA Men's Tennis Championship, is slated to face former Georgia Tech star Dean O'Brien, ranked 691in the world, tomorrow in Istanbul.
"Being in a different country with a different culture has been very challenging," Cooprider wrote via e-mail. "I really miss the college environment because I'm traveling and playing by myself now. I realize that I've been spoiled over the last four years with the closeness of the team.
"Everyone is trying to make it on the professional level, so playing professionally is tough. I just try to remember that I'm not only playing for myself, but everyone back home and all of the people who follow my progress."
Veteran UNCW head coach Mait DuBois is not surprised by Cooprider's outlook and continued development.
"Traditionally, it takes some time for players to transition from college tennis to life on the professional level. The fact that Chris is enjoying this kind of success so quickly is a testament to how well he prepared himself for this step.
"One of our major goals has always been to help players compete at the highest level and his success is something our entire team takes a lot of pride in. His best tennis is ahead of him we look forward to following Chris' career."

Wound Care for Horses
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- Apr 15, 2010
Because of their size, inquisitive nature, and well-developed flight responses, horses tend to be accident prone, making both minor and major wounds common occurrences. Effectively providing first aid to an injured horse requires having easy access to a fully-stocked first-aid kit. Kits can either be purchased pre-assembled or custom made. Up-to-date vaccination records for all horses in the barn should also be readily accessible, particularly the tetanus vaccine status.
Familiarity with your horse's normal behavior and heart and respiratory rates can help you easily recognize when something is wrong. Consider taking an owner education seminar on wound management or first aid. Alternatively, there are many books available about equine first aid.
