How many of these statements are true about you?
I'm sick of those absentee owners that I play against in those lame Public Leagues.
I'm wish I could play in a league for some "real" money.
I want to take it to the next level.
If you answered "Yes!" to any of those questions, your prayers have finally been answered!! I have got the league for you!! It's fantasy football at it's finest!!
I've put in a lot of thought into what I wanted in a league and this is the result. I am looking for a friendly group of hardcore fantasy football fans who have decided to kick their fantasy football up a notch.
You're probably saying to yourself, "Yeah, I've heard that before!" Just follow the links below to see the game plan, my friend.
Understand something though: This is a league for serious & competitive team owners only!! The goal of the Hardcore Goons Fantasy Football League is to create a fun & competitive league packed with serious owners that will flourish for many years. We are looking for long-term owners.
Be aware that this is a money league. Prize pools have been ~$2500 and first place has been known to take home $1000+.
If you've read this far and don't like any or all of it, then please don't bother going any farther. This league is not for you.
However, if this is getting you excited, hop over to the league site and read up on the RULES and scoring. If still interested or if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, drop me a line. I'd love to here from you.
Disclaimer: There may be a lot of trash talking in this league. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, get dizzy easily, or show symptoms of being a p***y, this may not be the league for you.

Ex-Gartmore star Rambourg is back with European equity fund
by Dylan Lobo on Dec 16, 2013 at 07:40
Former Gartmore star Guillaume Rambourg has returned to the UK fund market.
Rambourg (pictured) was suspended from Gartmore in April 2010 for breaching internal policy, which prompted a nine-month investigation by the Financial Services Authority. He was eventually cleared of wrongdoing by regulators in March 2011, around nine months after he quit Gartmore in the fight to clear his name.
Rambourg went on to form Paris-based Verrazzano Capital, a European equity specialist boutique, which has launched the Verrazzano Advantage European fund, a Ucits-compliant Luxembourg Sicav.
The fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its assets in the shares of companies listed in Continental Europe and is Verrazzano's first long-only product offered to external investors, following the 2012 launch of two successful European equity long-short strategies.
Commenting on the launch, Rambourg said: 'We're delighted to launch our first long-only fund and make it available to a broad investment audience. It is an important milestone for Verrazzano Capital, which has evolved quickly since 2011 thanks to investor appetite for our tried and tested investment approach and the meticulous path we took to building out the institutional platform.
'Through the firm's two senior investment officers Tomás Pintó and Karim Moussalem, the team combines long-standing continuity and an injection of new talent, enhancing an investment process that has generated significant alpha through several market cycles.'
Kepler Partners, a research-led distribution business, which has partnered with Verrazzano to distribute the Advantage European Fund to UK Institutions, said it has seen plenty of interest for the new fund.
Laurie Robathan, a partner at the firm, said: 'We have seen significant interest in this fund launch from investors looking to allocate to European equities. Guillaume has a large following in the UK and we are very excited about the prospects for this fund.'

is serving up heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day. Find out more on its website before you head out.
It's Brendan Fraser out, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, a 3-D sequel to the 2008 version of Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Johnson fills Fraser's void as Hank, the stepdad, while Josh Hutcherson reprises his role as Sean.
Also jumping into the action and adventure are Luis Guzman as Gabato the helicopter pilot and Vanessa Hudgens as his feisty daughter, Kailani. Michael Caine chimes in as the grandfather.
Like Journey to the Center of the Earth, Journey 2 is based on a story by the great Jules Verne.
The premise of the film is pretty basic. Young Sean intercepts a distress signal in the South Pacific. They head out to help and encounter a rainbow-filled island where evolutionary animals have gone crazy—all in 3-D.
Unfortunately, the film is rarely funny, and the actors were sort of sleepwalking through their roles. I don't think Jules Verne, if he were alive today, would care much for what they did with his story.
You could enjoy the film without any sound. The 3-D and other technologies make this film fun.
So the flick-o-meter gives Journey 2: The Mysterious Island three out of five.

Let's look at all the student travel document details.
Carry Identification
- You will need photo id while traveling when:
- Boarding planes
- Passing through customs and immigration
- Cashing traveler's checks
- Renting cars
- In case of difficulty with authorities
- You may need photo id while traveling when:
- Boarding some trains or ferries
- Checking in to some hostels and most hotels
- Using a debit or credit card
- Passport -- universal id
- Your driver's license or an international driver's license (be aware that the minute you leave the US, your driver's license *may* become meaningless as id, except at car rental agencies)
Get a PassportAlthough you can currently use a birth certificate and driver's license as id to enter Mexico and Canada by land (need a passport if flying back to the US -- learn more), you should get a passport anyway. Passports are $97 through a US post office if you're over 16 ($70 otherwise) and are valid for ten years, and function as universal id. You can also use a passport to meet INS employment requirements in the US.
- How to get your first passport
- How to get a passport without a birth certificate
- Do I need a passport for travel to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean?
- News: "Passport rule changes proposed for minors"
- All current passport rules and news
What's Up With Visas?A visa is an endorsement stamped on your passport by foreign customs officials that allows you to visit that country. You get a visa from the country's embassy or consulate (check consular sheets for embassy locations and, in some cases, websites). "Visit", as used above, means the reason for entry. In your case, it may be tourism or work (volunteering and studying abroad are usually considered tourism). Many, many types of visas exist based on country and type and length of visit.
Few countries require tourism visas. Among them *may* be Africa, Australia, Brazil, China, Cuba, Egypt, Japan, Russia and Turkey (this can change at any time).
Work visas are a different story -- you will probably need one if you want to work during your student travel.
- Learn about tourist visas and how to get one
- Learn about international work visas and how to get one
Do I Need Immunization Records for Travel?Whether or not you need travel immunizations depends in part on where you will be traveling. Not every country is going to require that you already have shots before you travel to that country -- your concern will be more whether you *want* immunizations for travel. If you get travel shots, you'll get an International Health Certificate to prove it, and you should carry that while traveling. Remember to start a shots series early enough to finish the series before traveling.
International Driver's LicenseBefore you decide to get an international's driver's license or permit, whether to use as id or to rent a car, bear in mind that your US driver's license will probably work for renting a car or scooter almost anywhere.
In some countries, you may rather get a local government-issued driver's license if you're going to be there for a few months or more -- ask how to get one at the local American embassy. To get a local driver's license abroad, you may need:
- Valid passport
- Valid American driver's license
- Valid non-immigrant visa if required in that country
- Valid work visa if applicable
Auto club AAA is licensed by the US guv to provide you with an international driving permit.
- Get international driver's permit guv info
- Get an international driving permit direct from AAA

Email Yourself Important Travel DocumentsEmail yourself important travel document copies. If you lose your passport, visa, airline tickets, credit / debit cards or driver's license, you can download copies while you're traveling.
Where to Keep Your Travel DocumentsLeave copies of all your travel documents with someone whom you can contact easily, like a parent, and email copies to yourself -- you've then got two ways to access copies if you lose anything. Stash copies in your guidebook or travel journal, too. Make sure that you have the documents to which you need access, like your passport and eticket / itinerary, together at the right time.
I keep travel life simple by using a passport holder in airports and stashing it in a backpack pocket otherwise. I keep my cash seperate -- usually in a zipped pants, shirt or vest pocket which I'm wearing.

12:00 p.m.—12:45 p.m.: Tinariwen
At a festival loaded with great guitar players, Saharan desert blues band Tinariwen sport several of the best. Robert Plant was floored by the group's ability, and their stateside profile has grown steadily, particularly over the last five years. The group turn out hypnotic lines of silvery guitar and let songs swell, mantra-like, over and over, grounded by low, rich, murmuring vocals. Their recent U.S. tour earned them deserved accolades, and in the middle of the afternoon in Tennessee, their spellbinding songs are the perfect way to open Bonnaroo's final day.
12:30 p.m.—1:30 p.m.: Japandroids
This Canadian two-piece punk band puts a premium on velocity. The songs on its breakthrough album, the thrilling Post-Nothing, whip by like cars speeding around a racetrack. Their songs exalt both the urgency and energy of youth and the terrible brevity of life. It's no wonder: last year, frontman Brian King was sidelined with a near-fatal perforated ulcer.
2:00 pm—3:00 p.m.: Lucero
Long-running, infinitely touring cowpunk band Lucero draws most of their power from frontman Ben Nichols' busted voice — it's a ragged, bleeding husk, bashing its way up the center of the group's galloping songs. The band strips down-home roots rock back to the basics — they're a dusty pickup truck with a Black Flag sticker on the window, Clash songs delivered with a Southern drawl.
3:00 p.m.—4:15 p.m.: Regina Spektor
Tori 2.0? On her sparkling second effort, Begin to Hope, Spektor made romantic longing feel deceptively whimsical, guarding her sweetest sentiments with light, skipping piano. Her latest, Far, is more ambitious; collaborating with a variety of producers — among them, ELO's Jeff Lynne — Spektor's songs have become proud and expansive, and her tiny voice puffs up proudly to match those ambitious arrangements.
3:30 p.m.—4:30 p.m.: Against Me!
The second song on Against Me!'s White Crosses is called "I Was a Teenage Anarchist," and that past-tense verb is crucial. Frontman Tom Gabel has slowly moved past the blunt didacticism of the group's early anti-folk to find a home in pissed-off, progressive punk — the kind of music that still has a message, but doesn't make that message its raison d'etre. What Against Me! are about these days are power, and their live show is one roaring rock anthem after another, where songs about social change bump brusquely up against songs about hard-won personal freedom.
4:00 p.m.—5:30 p.m.: John Fogerty
Though his songs deliver all that's right about heartland American rock, Fogerty's spirit and sentiment was always decidedly countercultural. Unlike many of his contemporaries, whose spirit of protest now seems almost quaint, Fogerty's songs ("Centerfield" excepted, obviously) still ring ragged and true. A 90-minute set affords him plenty of time for searing Creedence chestnuts as well as a smattering of his durable recent work. Here's hoping he nastily dedicates "Fortunate Son" to the fatcat, corner-cutting execs at BP.
6:30 p.m.—8:00 p.m.: Miranda Lambert
Whip-crack country songs delivered with a smirk and a snarl, Miranda Lambert is a wily country music iconoclast. Her songs have a higher body count than N.W.A's: 2007's phenomenal Crazy Ex-Girlfriend opened with her pumping an abusive husband full of lead, and last year's just-as-good Revolution found her covering a Fred Eaglesmith song that declared, "When the talking is over, it's time to get a gun." Make no mistake about it: Lambert is a badass, a hellraiser with a wry voice and jaded outlook; her white-hot upstart songs are sure to sound great at top volume.
7:15 p.m.—8:45 p.m.: Phoenix
If LCD Soundsystem provided Friday night's dance party, Phoenix are sure to do the same on the fest's closing day. Their songs are all clean lines, aerodynamic vocals, crackerjack beats and big choruses. These four Frenchmen are festival pros, still riding the strength of last year's soaring Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. And where many dance acts clutter all available space with sound, Phoenix know the value of allowing songs to breathe. They're a perfectly controlled body-moving machine.
9:00 p.m.—11:00 p.m.: Dave Matthews Band
At this point, DMB are practically Bonnaroo's homecoming kings, both a remnant of the fest's history as well as a testament to their own enduring legacy. Like Bonnaroo, DMB have long since moved past their jammy roots: their latest album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, found them edging toward rockier territory, applying their elaborate instrumentation to strict pop structures. Their evolution has been an intriguing one, and what better way to close out the festival than with a band that embodies its past, present and future?

At the corner of Broadway and 10th Street, less than a block from the site of an already infamous beating that allegedly involved five soldiers, Maj. Gen. Robert Brown stepped out of an SUV and into the Columbus nightlife.
The Fort Benning commander wore civilian clothes for his unannounced visit Friday night, but word of his presence spread quickly, even among privates who knew nothing of Browns mission. Brown cordially greeted a handful of reporters and two uniformed men wearing arm brassards emblazoned with the words Courtesy Patrol.
Friday marked the first night of a new military presence in downtown that post and city officials hope will bolster security in the bustling bar district and remind soldiers to be on their best behavior. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, an officer and senior non-commissioned officer will walk up and down Broadway from about 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., seeking to keep the peace.
Were going to be stepping inside bars, clubs and restaurants that run between Ninth and 12th Street and asking security guards and bouncers whether thereve been any problems, said 1st Lt. David Fabozzi. For example, if the soldiers too drunk, we can ask him to get in a cab or we can ask for him to call for a ride. We cannot physically restrain the soldier in any way and if it comes to the point when the confrontation is about to get physical, we can ask the Columbus Police Department to step in.
In addition to checking in on the courtesy patrols, Brown said he also came downtown to enjoy a night with his family. But after a somewhat delayed response to the beating, in which four Benning soldiers were charged two weeks ago with aggravated battery, it was clear that post officials sought to send a message to soldiers and the community. In downtown, the stakes are high for the post and the city on the weekend, and both entities have seemed acutely aware of public perception in light of the recent violence, which included a fatal shooting that did not involve any soldiers.
Still, Brown stressed that incidents involving military personnel are few and far between.
That incident a few weeks ago definitely brought it to the point where we said, OK, its time to do it, Brown said, referring to the new patrols. With 99.9 percent of the soldiers, we never have an issue and they do a great job. Sometimes, unfortunately, when alcohols involved, young folks will make stupid decisions. And that happens all over the world.
Brown added: Were the fabric of the community, and we want the image to be the guys are out there helping at the House of Heroes and volunteering all over the place and doing the right thing, not the occasional, very rare individual that will do something stupid.
Richard Bishop, president of Uptown Columbus, welcomed the courtesy patrols and said he does not think they are an overreaction to the beating.
Two years ago, we had (military police) down here every Friday and Saturday night and that was a great marriage between the city, police department and MPs, and well have that same partnership with the courtesy patrols, he said. I dont think youd go into any community or mid-sized city and find that there was not a perception of safety issues in your downtown. Our goal is to make it safe for all of our visitors, and if more security helps us to do that, then lets have at it.
Mixed reactions
On Friday night, the sight of Fabozzi and Sgt. 1st Class Richard Hampton generated quite a buzz. In the moments before Brown arrived, a drunken heckler approached the pair rambling, and one woman stopped just to say hello.
In interviews downtown, current and former soldiers offered mixed reaction to their camouflage-clad colleagues working the street. Sgt. 1st Class Mike Bloom, who is stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., said he has seen courtesy patrols in downtown Tacoma.
They have them up there and they make a difference, said Bloom, who is at Fort Benning for training. Soldiers see the senior enlisted and the officer up there and even if theyve been drinking, the uniform kind of brings them back to I have a responsibility and an obligation and it kind of straightens them out.
John Howard, who used to be in ROTC at Eastern Kentucky University, said the courtesy patrols show a willingness by military officials to help out on the civilian side.
If the military is willing to sacrifice some of their CPs off base to come down here to make sure downtown Columbus is safe, were good, man, Howard said.
But James Robinson, who served in the military for eight years, including a tour of duty in Iraq, said he is more ambivalent about Courtesy Patrols. Sometimes you end up with characters who take the courtesy patrol to a different level like theyre ICE or Border Patrol, he said, referring to the federal law enforcement agencies. I felt safer with the military police, and theres a big difference. (Courtesy Patrols) cant do much of nothing. If a fight breaks out, theyre not going to go in there and stop the fight.
One young private called the patrols an extreme overreaction to the beating that could unfairly stigmatize soldiers trying to unwind downtown.
I think it will just get (soldiers) in more trouble, he said. In real life, these things happen on a constant basis every night.

Today, friend-of-the-blog, Fred Hicks, announced the forthcoming publication of a role-playing game based on the thrilling Atomic Robo comics, created by Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener–yes, an RPG based on a comic book. In what must be the quintessential expression of being a Geek/Lawyer, I drafted the licensing agreement for the deal. It's a match made in pulp heaven. Can't wait.

It will be the greatest comeback ever.
Its gonna have to be after quite possibly the worst five-week run in the history of fantasy competition.
Little more than a month after gushing about my baseball team, planning a victory parade and booking reservations at the Aloha Surf Hotel in Maui the statute of limitations on my quarter-century ban from the big island expired last week last place is flashing an inviting smile, batting its eyelashes and motioning for me to come hither.
My recipe for epic failure: Go weeks between pitching wins, blow saves in bulk, have half your team ride pine daily with pulled eyelids and sticky Popsicle fingers, homer only every five days and strand villages of base runners in scoring position on a nightly basis.
My sprint to the bottom has been more fascinating than infuriating. Much like Ron Burgundys beloved Baxter, my team has eaten the entire wheel of cheese and committed unspeakable refrigerator crimes, yet Im not even mad, Im impressed with the epic scope of its complete, unprompted, nuclear meltdown.
Luckily things stabilized somewhat this past week. I might not go deep again until 2018, but .300 hitting days are back on the menu, pitchers are turning in solid starts again and I can finally move on from the mistake that was and has been Ryan Braun now that the tainted Brewers slugger is on the disabled list.
Still, taking a five-week, summertime sabbatical is not conducive to fantasy success.
Whats the plan for turning things around, you ask? Simple: Stay the course, pray for a healthy summer and make only slight but decisive modifications.
Recent trades for Freddie Freeman and Shelby Miller could produce serious long-term dividends and allow me to recoup beaucoup points. Brandon Crawford has been a productive addition. Michael Cuddyer is back, and Aaron Hill will return soon. Madison Bumgarner and Hiroki Kuroda appear to have straightened things out. Its small, but theres a flicker light, which gives me hope, which is the key to, well, everything.
While the offense has laid dormant, its not bereft of talent. Sleeping giants Michael Morse, Alfonso Soriano, Justin Morneau and Wilin Rosario are overdue for power surges. Buster Posey is beginning to heat up.
Ive most definitely hit bottom, but luckily I planted my flag there in May/June and not August/September, which leaves ample time to patch up and paint the walls.
The optimist within is fool enough to believe theres more than a snowballs chance of turning this around, even without my top dog and with more than half the roster unable to put the right shoe on the right foot most days.
I pulled a championship rabbit out of my hat a decade ago while in the throes of a similar storm. Can lightning strike twice?
Im banking on it.
My lineup
C: Wilin Rosario; 1B: Buster Posey; 2B: Daniel Murphy; 3B: Manny Machado; SS: Brandon Crawford; OF: Michael Cuddyer, Starling Marte, Michael Morse, Alfonso Soriano and a special mystery guest to be determined Sunday night; CI: Justin Morneau; MI: Andrelton Simmons; U: Freddie Freeman; P: Felix Hernandez, Madison Bumgarner, Shelby Miller, Hiroki Kuroda, Jonathan Papelbon, Rafael Soriano, Andy Pettitte, Ryan Dempster and anyone not named Matt Garza; DL: 2B Aaron Hill, CL Rafael Betancourt and OF Ryan Braun.

1. Miguel Cabrera, 3B, Tigers: Can you say back-to-back Triple Crowns (18 HRs/69 RBIs/56 runs/.354 avg.)?
2. Carlos Gonzalez, OF, Rockies: His 19 HRs, 54 RBIs, 56 runs, 13 SBs and .313 average would sure come in handy.
3. Mike Trout, OF, Angels: Take that sophomore jinx (12 HRs/43 RBIs/49 runs/15 SBs/.301 avg.).
4. Chris Davis, OF, Orioles: Up is down, down is up, dogs and cats living together ... (22 HRs/57 RBIs/47 runs/.332 avg.).

Knoxville — The Knoxville School Board was provided a list of classes, including the number of students in each class section, prior to Monday's regular board meeting. Some of the class sizes are making board members nervous.
KHS Principal Kevin Crawford opened the discussion by telling the board that if schedule changes were not made in August, the schedule would work out perfectly at the high school. Changes are made, and students need to make adjustments. Plans are set aside to accommodate the students to meet their needs.
Director Tim McDonald questioned the number of course titles offered at KHS, which number at 157.
"We don't take the course out if someone doesn't enroll," Crawford said. Nevertheless, as the discussion continued, the number of course offerings was an issue raised again by McDonald. With the importance that is placed on a child's ability to be proficient in reading by third grade, McDonald wonders if there is too much emphasis on high school classes.
Some of the higher student counts in class sections can be attributed to budget cuts in recent years. Fewer teachers can naturally lead to larger class sections. The board would like to examine options to improve class size numbers, despite having fewer educators available.
KMS Principal Brian McNeill explained to the board that his students are divided into classes, based upon achievement level. Board President Leslie Miller was concerned about this process, as most students fall into the middle, and may get lost in the shuffle. She does not want these students to miss out on opportunities because of test scores.
"There's got to be a better way to do this," McDonald added.
"Sometimes, putting a body in there isn't the answer," Superintendent Randy Flack added.
McDonald suggested the budget committee meet earlier than planned, to focus early discussions on how to address class size issues.

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph another home will have been broken into. According to the FBI, a burglary is perpetrated every 14.4 seconds. You are probably wondering, with that many burglaries every year, what are the chances someone will break into your home. Based on national trends, the chances your home will be broken into this year are approximately 1 in 143. Installing an ADT monitored security system in Stanton could make your chances closer to 1 in 429. That's because home alarm systems have been shown to make break-ins 3 times less likely3.
Break-ins are more costly to Stanton residents than what you'd spend on an ADT monitored home security system.

The location, price and facilities were absolute beyond my expectations.
NoThis is actually a one bedroom condo with a full kitchen, dining area and living room. It was at least half the price of other DC hotels and included free parking and free wireless. It's a short walk to the Metro station and a very large shopping mall is across the street. On the metro it is one stop to the Pentagon and two stops to Arlington. From the Arlington station you can walk to the Lincoln Memorial. Going the other direction, its about three stops to Reagan Airport. Highly recommend!

Great hotel space and convenient. Staff for sort of MIA but overall great experience..

spacious and comfortable. It's an apartment, not just a suite or hotel room.
If you have your luggage w/you, it is a bit of a hike from Crystal City Metro to the hotel. Without luggage its a comfortable walk of a few blocks. Reagan Airport Metro is probably closer, but I saw no safe way of walking from the airport to the hotel.Hotel is really upscale, short-term apartment rentals. You get a full-size kitchen, dining area, living room, bathroom, bedroom (with a huge closet), and even a washer/dryer. Also the views from the rooftop patio are nothing less than spectacular. On the downside, there is not maid service every day, nor room service, but there are plenty of services nearby. I'd recommend using a taxi if you are between the hotel and Crystal City Metro with luggage, it's about a $3-4 fare. It's quite a hike otherwise, but a nice stroll if you don't have luggage. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to walk to/from the airport.

Mandatory Tutoring Program
To help each student be successful, Stevenson High School has a mandatory tutoring intervention program for Freshmen and Sophomores who receive a D or lower in selected courses for any six weeks grading period. Parents are notified by letter that their student is required to attend tutorial sessions. The letter clearly defines the philosophy of the mandatory tutoring program, the student's responsibility, and mandatory tutoring procedures.The student is required to attend a minimum of twelve tutorial sessions during the next six week grading period. At least four of the twelve sessions must be completed prior to the three week progress reports. If the student fails to do so, parents, classroom teachers, and deans will be notified.
Entry Passes and Visit Record are enclosed with the letter. In order to receive credit for a tutorial session, the student must bring both to the tutor. Prior to the tutorial, an Entry Pass must be completed indicating the date and period of the visit, assignments for the session and the classroom teacher's signature. The Visit Record has to be signed by the tutor. The student keeps it and brings it to each session. The Visit Record is the student's proof of attendance. Failure to complete it will result in a disciplinary referral and consequences.
The Learning Center teachers work in close cooperation with the classroom teachers to enhance the student's progress. At the end of the six week grading period, the Learning Center teachers contact each of the content area teachers to determine whether the student should be released from the tutorial program. If not, the student must continue attending tutorial sessions.

reported Monday that Perry Levi Moore, 24, died Sunday night while swimming in Pleasant Lake.
According to a release issued by Lt. Tim Diamond, the victim was attempting to swim to a pontoon boat, where his family members had been, from the shore. The boat was about 100 feet from shore, but the victim started to struggle about 30 feet from shore.
WJBK-TV reports that Moore was a new dad studying microbiology at Wayne State University.
"He loved his family and his new baby, and he's my oldest son. He was a good boy," mom Sylvia Buttram said on myfoxdetroit.com.
Family members observed what was happening and attempted to aid the victim, but could not locate him, Diamond continued. Police were called about 7:30 p.m.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office dive team responded to the location and recovered the victim at about 8:45 p.m. The victim was transported to and was subsequently pronounced dead.
The lake is located near Walnut Lake and Halsted roads.

Former Grand Strand resident Kris Blanks has shut it down for the 2012 season, and he's in the process of determining the next treatment for a shoulder injury in an effort to retain his PGA Tour membership in 2013.
Blanks hasn't played on the PGA Tour since July 13, when he missed the cut at the John Deere Classic with a 3-under 71-68–139.
He has vacillated between getting surgery or receiving therapy for the past couple months and is still unsure of his approach in the near future, though he expects to know more following a meeting Wednesday with famed sports orthopaedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews at his office in Pensacola, Fla.
Meanwhile, he has registered for the second stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament as a backup plan.
"It's just been a frustrating ongoing struggle because I don't know exactly what's wrong," Blanks said. "I've had doctors tell me one thing and others tell me another thing and I don't know who to believe. Right now the idea is to just get healthy."
Blanks lived on the Grand Strand and bartended, waited tables and worked the bag drop at Wild Wing Plantation from 1996-2002, and has lived in Jupiter, Fla., for the past 2½ years with his wife, Tami, and two sons ages 6 and 8.
Blanks has been told by doctors in Florida he has shoulder tendinitis and a possible bone spur. He said the pain shoots over the top of shoulder and into bicep, from the middle of backswing through impact. Though the pain is more annoying than debilitating, he said the injury has also caused him to lose strength in the shoulder.
"I didn't really think it was anything serious, and if I just rested it for a couple weeks it would be okay, but that hasn't been the case," Blanks said. "It's been a frustrating process. I hate not playing but I hate not playing like I'm capable of also. I can play, but I can't practice much. If I hit 100 balls it flares up."
Blanks had surgery scheduled for Aug. 24 on the advice of one doctor, but canceled it to continue exploring his options. "I'm trying to avoid surgery as much as I can," he said. "I don't want to just get cut on to get cut on."
Blanks, who turns 40 on Nov. 3, is in his fourth year on the PGA Tour and recorded career highs in 2011 by placing 65th on the money list with $1.35 million earned, making 17 cuts and recording seven top-10 finishes. He has finished second in the 2010 Puerto Rico Open and 2011 RBC Canadian Open, where he lost a playoff to Sean O'Hair, and gained membership on the tour after finishing 13th on the Web.com Tour money list in 2008, when he won a tournament.
This season, Blanks made 11 cuts in 23 starts with just one finish in the top 25 through a busy schedule. He played in nine consecutive events beginning with the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island on April 12 and ending with the FedEx St. Jude Classic on June 7, and that began a stretch of 13 events in 14 weeks to end his season. He withdrew from the St. Jude following an opening-round 78 and otherwise missed five of his final six cuts.
Blanks has applied for a medical exemption in 2013, and will know if he receives one following the Nov. 8-11 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic outside Orlando.
If a medical exemption is granted, Blanks will have a few tournaments in 2013 to earn enough money to get inside the 125th spot on the 2012 money list.
Blanks is 156th on the money list with $390,000 in 23 events. The 125th spot is $612,000 with two events remaining. He expects the tour average to be 26 or 27 starts this year, so he believes he'll have three or four starts to earn approximately $240,000.
He has been assigned the Nov. 13-16 Q-School second stage site of Plantation Preserve Golf Course in Plantation, Fla.
He plans to begin practice sessions in the next few days if Dr. Andrews endorses it.
"It depends on whether I can do more damage to it by playing or not," Blanks said. "If I can practice a little before that and be ready to go I'll do it. The plan is to give it a shot and play. If I have to medicate myself to the point I can get around then that's what we'll do."
Surgery after his Q-School attempt and a return to action by March or so is also a possibility.
He recently played in a Minor League Golf Tour event in Florida and finished third at 7-under par with 12 birdies, an eagle, a bogey and three double bogeys.
Brown claims NGA POY
Brandon Brown of Shelbyville, Ky., finished in the top four in 10 of 14 events in 2012 to be named the Player of the Year on the Grand Strand-based National Golf Association (formerly NGA Hooters) Tour.
The Eastern Kentucky alumnus earned his sixth NGA Tour victory and also made the cut in every event, finishing outside the top 15 just once to earn a tour-high $115,085. He also picked up his first PGA Tour paycheck by finishing 62nd in the Reno-Tahoe Open while playing on an NGA Tour event exemption.
Ken Looper of Mandeville, La., and Jonathan Randolph of Brandon, Miss., share the NGA's 2012 Rookie of the Year award.
Looper, who played at LSU, earned a victory on the Bridgestone Winter Series, one on the national Pro Series and four top-10s in his rookie season. Randolph, a 2010 All-Nicklaus team member and 2010 All-American from Ole Miss, won his last two starts on the Pro Series after a sluggish start to the season.
Two of the last three NGA POY winners – Ted Potter Jr. and Michael Thompson – will be playing on the PGA Tour in 2013. Other former NGA POYs include Zach Johnson, Lee Janzen, Chad Campbell and Casey Wittenberg.
Former NGA Rookies of the Year include PGA Tour members Russell Knox, Chad Collins and Vaughn Taylor and European Tour member Gareth Maybin. Keegan Bradley, who won the 2011 PGA Championship, is a past runner-up in the NGA Tour Rookie of the Year race.
Chas Narramore of Kingston, Tenn., a former Middle Tennessee State standout, is the tour's Most Improved Player after making 13 of 16 cuts, winning an event and claiming four top-10s. Former South Carolina golfer Mark Silvers was given the tour's Golf Achievement award for exemplifying a professional golfer both on and off the course.
Rounds for auction
Bidding began Oct. 1 for access to hundreds of courses through online auctions of golf rounds thanks to Rounds 4 Research and the Toro Co.
Accessible through the online auction site biddingforgood.com, the first auction period ended Monday and featured nearly 70 courses in 11 states.
Subsequent auctions will be conducted Oct. 22-Nov. 5, Nov. 12-26 and Dec. 3-17. Presently, 250 rounds for foursomes are up for auction including those at Pine Needles Lodge in Mid Pines, N.C., TPC Sugarloaf outside Atlanta; and East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, site of the Tour Championship. Additional rounds are being secured.
Rounds 4 Research is a fundraising program supporting agronomic research for courses. It is in response to previous funding sources, both public and private, being eliminated.
The program is being administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. It has been conducted the previous four years on a regional basis.
HT hole among best
The famed 18th hole on Harbour Town Golf Links at Sea Pines Resort in Hilton Head Island is one of Golf Magazine's "Best 18 Holes" in the world, showcased at Golf.com, the magazine's online portal.
With the eminent red- and white-striped lighthouse standing sentinel behind the green and Calibogue Sound flanking the entire left side, the 472-yard par-4 caps a layout Hall of Fame golf writer Dan Jenkins once said is "nothing short of a work of art." Golfweek's Brad Klein says, "It's one of the most innovative and revolutionary designs in the history of golf architecture."
The scenic hole on the iconic Pete Dye design that annually hosts the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage joins the world's most acclaimed holes on the list including: the dramatic cliff-to-cliff par-3 16th of Cypress Point, No. 17 on the Old Course at St. Andrews with its notorious "Road Hole Bunker," the splendid 18th of Pebble Beach Golf Links along Carmel Bay, and classic No. 9 of Royal County Down in Northern Ireland.

FORT WORTH, Texas ( June 8, 2013) - Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves became the first four-time IZOD IndyCar Series winner at Texas Motor Speedway with a dominating performance in Saturday night's Firestone 550.
Castroneves (No. 3 AAA Insurance Team Penske Chevrolet) led the final 132 laps of the 228-lap event and cruised to a 4.692-second margin of victory over runner-up and reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay (No. 1 DHL Chevrolet) of Andretti Autosport. Reigning Indy 500 champion Tony Kanaan (No. 11 Sunoco/Turbo Chevrolet) finished third for KV Racing Technology.
The win for Castroneves was his fourth at Texas Motor Speedway, breaking a tie for most career victories with Sam Hornish Jr. His other victories came in the fall of 2004 as well as this annual June event in '06 and '09.
The victory was the first of the season for Castroneves as well as Team Penske and, more importantly, gave him sole possession of the IZOD IndyCar Series championship lead. Castroneves, who entered the Firestone 550 tied with Marco Andretti (No. 25 RC Cola Chevrolet), now owns a 22-point advantage over Andretti, who finished fifth.
In the early going, it seemed that Andretti Autosport was going to find its way to Victory Lane at Texas Motor Speedway for the first time since 2004, but long fuel runs with less Firestone tire wear than his fellow competitors gave Castroneves a distinctive edge.
Andretti and Hunter-Reay led 92 of the first 96 laps, with Andretti pacing the way from the outset with 57 laps led. Castroneves' teammate Will Power (No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet) led the other four laps before Castroneves took complete control. He continually was able to stay out longer than the rest of the field and did not falter on older tires.
Castroneves, who gave team owner Roger Penske his record eighth win at Texas Motor Speedway, paced a dominant display by Chevrolet as the engine manufacturer swept the top five finishing positions and eight of the top 10. It was the first win by Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway since Tomas Scheckter in 2005.
