SoundSeen: Titling a Show on Seane Corn's Yoga
Trent Gilliss, Online Editor
In between the interviewing and scripting, the SOF staff congregates for two editorial sessions where we hash out the details of each week's program. The first — which we call cuts and copy — can be really rough around the edges; the second — which we call the final listen — is more of a fine tweaking of script changes, music selections, Web language, and, at times, we're still coming up with a title for the episode.
This happens to be the case for our upcoming show on yoga as conveyed through the experience of instructor Seane Corn (I dig her Jersey accent!). We regularly struggle at naming each program, especially because there are various approaches to it: an apt description of the content, a clever literary device, a poetic encapsulation, a highlight of an outstanding idea, keywords that trigger curiosity, etc.
But, the title has multiple purposes. It's spoken by Krista in the radio and podcast; it populates the subject line of our e-mail newsletter and browser title; it complements the feature image for the program Web site and all sorts of data in third-party vendors like iTunes, Google, Facebook, last.fm, Yahoo, and so on. Can one title serve all masters? Probably not. But, in the end, we just want people to listen to the show so we're trying to take a more direct approach in front-loading the words or ideas that will appeal to you and others. See what we came up with.
I'd love to hear where you stand on our titles, or if you have thoughts of your own. I'm open to advice. Cheers.

Pelosi's comments are predictable. After all, she led the blockade on any debate about energy, and any vote. And, she is has a recognized record of being ineffectual, but a good Party conductor. While more oil drilling in not a panacea, and may not be advisable in all areas, in MOST areas it seems reasonable. And, the current philosophical blockade against nuclear energy, even though there are zero carbon emissions, defies scientific logic. American's are dismayed and disgusted at the lack of results of this bevy of leaders. Both parties have nothing to brag about, but the current leaders in the hot seat are the Democrats, and in this crisis it is right and correct for the American people to expect and demand rapid and effective action, not games.
neelblair,"But hey... what's a couple hundred thousand gallons of petroleum product REALLY mean? Nuthin, I'm sure. "About 18,000 barrels spilled out of 450,000,000 produced annually. It means two back to back one hundred year hurricanes caused a 0.004% spill rate, or one drop in 25,000. How safe do you you demand any industry to be? Do you demand a zero percent tolerance? It's not going to happen.It's a dirty and risky business. But do you think when oil companies drill offshore that dollar bills come flying out of the hole? No. They drill because people like you demand the products. So what you're doing, essentially, is criticizing the folks who fetch your gasoline.But maybe we should take your advice. Let's shut down all offshore US production. All offshore Brazil. The North Sea. Australia, Indonesia, Persian Gulf, Angola, Nigeria, Thailand, Mexico, Canada, and Venezuela. This would represent a significant percentage of the world's production and would send oil prices through the roof. There would be massive economic dislocation all over the world. Would you support that? If not, then what is the basis of your criticism?
dadw5boys,First you say: "Oil producers are pumping so much oil right now we have a glut." Then you say "You really think they would rush to drive down the price and their profits??"It looks like you just answered your own question, doesn't it? The answer is yes, they will, if they think the reward is there. Drilling rig utilization in the US is higher than it's been in over 20 years. It's hard to find an available deep water class rig. Revenues for drilling service companies are climbing steeply. Exploration and development budgets are up across the board. Obviously, companies are doing what they can to find more oil. They got this rich by finding and producing oil over the years, in times of high prices and low, by steadily investing in new sources of oil over generations. What makes you think they would stop now? And the data shows that they aren't stopping. They're accelerating.
From the article:
"Moreover, there have been no big spills from offshore wells and platforms since 1969."
Add this erroneous claim to the echo chamber of right-wing pundits who are fonding of saying 'not one drop of oil spilled during hurricanes Katrina and Rita.'
Report from the US Mineral Management Service stating Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Caused 124 Offshore Spills For A Total Of 743,700 Gallons:
But hey... what's a couple hundred thousand gallons of petroleum product REALLY mean? Nuthin, I'm sure.
If we play a game with which rating level in use, by Coast Guard standards, there were no "major spills" (that is, spills over 2,381 barrels per spill). Meaning, if 30 platforms all next to each other spilled 2000 barrels of oil each, in coincident yet separate events, then there wouldn't be a "major spill." Fantastic measure of damage to fisheries, environment, and beaches, no?
Oil producers are pumping so much oil right now we have a glut. It is getting harder and harder to find old tamkers and barrages to storw oil in. Does anyone really think if you give them offshore drilling rights they will rush out and drill. You really think they would rush to drive down the price and their profits??
Really? Why?
Sounds reasonable to me, but I might take it up faster, maybe 2 cents/mo. Even that would be a hard sell though I think. For some reason people are very emotional and sensitive about gas prices, as opposed to other staples like milk or bread.By the way, I have always thought we should consider the same approach with mortgage tax deductions. Get rid of them slowly over the span of say 20-30 years. It would be a great source of revenue, and probably now just acts like most other subsidies: it increases the price of the subsidized good, and increases debt as a side effect. It seems crazy to me to be rewarding excessive debt.But when it comes to tax and subsidies, I am way out of my depth. :-)
jernich,Re gas taxes, what do you think of something along the lines of $0.01 per gallon per month, ad infinitum?Small enough that it wouldn't register in the daily/monthly price fluctuations and penalize anyone unduly in the short term. But large enough that you know that gas will be at least $0.60 more per gallon in 5 years when you buy your next vehicle, so efficient vehicles will be in greater demand.In addition to providing funds for rebates, it would also allow auto companies to retool without fearing that newly cheap(er) oil will again cause huge, wasteful behemoths to become attractive again and cause the need for further expensive retooling.
Heimdall,I think we are mostly on the same page. Knowing the oil industry, though, I get nervous about things like steep declines that weren't predicted (Mexico), the possibility of sabotage (Nigeria, Georgia, Middle East), the exploding growth in Asia, and the long time frames required to bring new oil into the market. Any unexpected events in the near term could make a huge difference. In 1998, when oil hit $10, no one would have predicted 9/11, the rise of China and India... or that oil would be almost $150 in 2008. If the government had had a crystal ball, and we had started drilling in 1998, we might have escaped a lot of the price shock in 2008. Who knows what 2018 will be like? But I agree that there needs to be far more emphasis on conservation, I think alternative energy is getting huge emphasis, but not conservation. Suppose the feds said, "If you can reduce per capita oil consumption by x% in 2 years, there will be no offshore drilling." If they could meet the challenge then that would be a fair tradeoff. I suspect though that we wouldn't, unless we are forced to.I think higher gas tax would probably be a good thing, although because of US geography and infrastructure, the alternatives Europeans have are not always viable, so something lower than $4 per gallon tax. When you have gasoline at or below $1.50/gallon for 20 years (as it was from 1981 through 2003), people will yawn and buy Hummers. If the government doesn't provide the discipline, then the market eventually will. But the problem is, when the market comes collecting, we have pandering politicians, consumer activists, and an uninformed public translating it all into simple greed on the part of a few western oil companies who control about 15% of the market. I can't imagine any US politician with a $2 gas tax proposal winning many votes. It's much easier to blame someone else for our problems than to take responsibility.
the government shouldnt single out fossil fuels either, it should only tax based on the amount of emissions a business makes. that would discourage firms from using polluting fossil fuels. it would allow the use (and development) of clean fossil fuels (if that is possible). the government doesnt even need to pick a loser (as heimdall said) but it does need to make the price reflect the externalities imposed on society (including its wallet) that are created by pollution. (the tax would probable pick fossil fuels as the loser but it still allows carbon capture to be used)
jernich,My sense is that the government's role would be to tax fossil fuels and use the proceeds to fund rebates for customers who purchase energy efficient and/or alternative energy products. The government doesn't pick the winner(s), the market does. The government does, however, pick the losers: fossil fuels. Whether to combat global climate instability or to buy the country a measure of energy security (or both), it makes sense...
nah-cool,I guess I'd agree with your first point. I was thinking really of the development phases. But if something comes along that appears to be of great significance, then the government will probably inevitably need to get involved due to the size of investment required as well as urgency to get things done quickly. However, if instead of a silver bullet, we get lots of different solutions, then government's role might not be so clear. Maybe subsidy is the best way to go in that case (which I think is by far the more likely case).Interesting that you mentioned the California energy crisis. I think the root cause for that was poor government planning. The state put a cap on retail gas sales price but forced utilities to buy gas on the spot market. That's kind of like putting a big sign that says "$10,000 in cash in a bag in the back seat" on your unlocked car. When gas prices rose across the country, the temptation to buy in California and sell elsewhere was hard to resist, and some companies did act unethically. This is why I'm a little nervous about large scale government oversight. When you get people who don't really understand a business and ask them to run it... well, It can be hard to tell what's worse, unethical companies, or incompetent public officials. But it's not a chicken and egg argument. The incompetence came first.As to your point #2, I don't think the goal of US energy independence has a prayer of being met by drilling. We'd have to triple our production and stop growth in demand. We'd have to be producing 15 mm barrels per day (and even then we'd still be importing petroleum products), 50% more than Saudi Arabia. It's not going to happen, and I don't think any serious policy makers believe that. Energy independence will only come with a combination of many factors. The point here would be to alleviate price pressure by bringing on new supply. While an additional 10 mm barrels per day is out of reach, a few million isn't, and that could make a big difference if in 10 years most of our energy is still coming from fossil fuels.Also I don't think there needs to be a choice between fossil fuel versus alternative energy investment. Offshore drilling costs will be borne by the oil industry. Solar and wind companies are not considering going into the drilling business. I doubt that enough oil would be found to seriously impede the alternate energy industry by forcing oil prices to levels where they throw in the towel. I see it as buying some energy insurance. It may turn out to be a waste of money, just like your unused auto insurance policy would be, but you sure don't want to get into a crash without it.
I agree that we will need to have oil for the foreseeable future, but I think that we give short shrift to conservation in particular and truly prioritizing (at a federal level) a diverse portfolio of energy sources.Re conservation, I look at the artificial energy crisis faced by CA circa 2000. ("Artificial" based on partial deregulation and on unethical market manipulation by the likes of Enron.) My recollection is that Californians decreased their energy consumption by as much as 14% in the *months* following the ankle-grabbing days.Note, that is a huge decrease in demand in an amazingly short period of time based on basic economic theory: price goes up, demand goes down. And my recollection is that there were no traumatic lifestyle changes necessary to do so, just simple adjustments. I compare that to the potential to decrease prices by ~1% by increasing supply by domestic drilling and it seems to be a no-brainer: conservation produces dramatic change quickly, drilling produces barely noticeable change in a decade.Re a diversified portfolio of energy, I don't think that we need dramatic technological breakthroughs, we just need incentives to use already existing technology. Consider passive heating and cooling. Sure, you can't dig your current house under the earth, but new housing developments could make dramatic differences in energy consumption at minimal excess expense. Passive solar water heat is both low-tech and significant and could be retrofitted relatively easily. Instead of air conditioning on hot days, we open our windows and shades at night, then close them when we wake up. And it stays ~20 degrees cooler inside than outside on hot days. For free. And easy. Time-of-day pricing could be retrofitted relatively easily. Riding your bike, carpooling, and use of public transportation more frequently could be done easily and quickly by many (if not all). And yeah, fill up your tires to save another 3%. There's no silver bullet, but a patchwork of existing technologies could lower consumption at the margin, which is where the spot price is set. Given the low hanging fruit of conservation and diverse energy sources, and given the low return and high price of incremental drilling, the administration's policies don't make a whole lot of sense (to me...)
not to butt into your arguments, but just 2 points of yours i'd challenge jernich.
1. Serious government investment is the only way alternative energies will reach the scale needed to replace petrol. As you pointed out most of the investments are coming from private firms, however without large scale improvements to infrastructure the largest most ambitious projects will simply become massive debt traps. For-profit pursuits can lead to alot of power ending up in private hands. As the energy crisis in california pointed out: public energy needs in private hands can be a very dangerous scenario
2. as your 4th scenario points out even if we are to find 25% of our oil offshore, it would still leave us in the volatile depedency on foreign oil. It would be taking a chance to pursue alternative energies instead of increased offshore drilling, but i think its one we as a nation have to take.
ps i don't think these changes would necessarily put you out of the job, you could always look into geothermal energy or carbon capture projects. i'm sure your expertise would be highly sought after
einsteinfactor,I don't think of myself as pro-drilling because of my profession, but because I am really unsure how quickly alternative energy forms can take serious market share away from fossil fuels. Even though it would put me out of a job, I would strongly support the complete elimination of fossil fuels if a better source(s) comes along. It's so obviously better for everyone for so many reasons. It would be crazy for me to put my job ahead of the planet's well-being. So I try to separate what's good for me versus what's good for society in discussing issues like this.If offshore areas were opened tomorrow, it would probably take at least a year or so before the first lease sale could be held. Leases would have to be nominated for sale, minimum bids decided, state authorization obtained, and so. Many of these areas have only sparse seismic data coverage, so we might see another year delay before drilling began in earnest, but I'd expect the first wells within one to two years. Despite the shortage of drilling rigs, as you note, rigs would in fact be available if the opportunities were perceived to be large enough. Companies would just reprioritize, and remobilize drillships or deep water rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to California, for example, if they felt the California prospects were sufficiently attractive. The rig owners don't care where the companies drill, they just want their contract commitments met, in terms of day rate and number of wells. The earliest discoveries could flow in around 8 to 10 years I'd guess. But remember that Prudhoe Bay was discovered by well #47 on the North Slope. So it could be much longer.A related question would be, suppose a breakthrough solar technology was discovered in a lab somewhere. How long before that technology would be in the mainstream? Consider the investment required, and time to build the infrastructure. We'd probably be looking at trillions of dollars investment over many years.There is no calculation that can answer your question about dividends for our children. Consider a few possible extreme scenarios: 1) the drilling money goes to alternative energy research, some new breakthrough occurs in 3 years, and we all live happily ever after, 2) no viable alternative is found from that money (or anyone else's money), and the energy crisis intensifies3) drilling proceeds and nothing is found4) drilling proceeds and we find enough to supply 25% of US production (Prudhoe scenario)Any of these could happen, and everything in between. I don't think you should plan according to a calculation. You should plan to prevent a worst case scenario (#2). That's why I lean toward drilling. I don't feel it has to be an either-or solution. We should be doing everything we can, recognizing that we're still going to need a lot of oil for many years to come in the transition to future alternative energy sources. Even after that transition we'll probably need it for manufacturing... plastics etc.Drilling would almost certainly produce downward pressure on crude prices. How could new supply not do that? It doesn't necessarily follow though that crude prices would be lower than they are now, only lower than they would have been if we don't drill. How much this effect would be depends on how much is found and a lot of other variables. People who quote a date and a dollar amount reduction on gas are kidding themselves. Politicians latch on to these numbers as if they're fact, but the future outcome would almost certainly be very different.I agree that we need to transition to alternative forms ASAP. There's already a ton of money out there working the problem. Incentives for success are huge. Unlike the 1960's moon landing or Project Manhattan, investment in alternate energy has scope for huge financial rewards for the researchers and investors. That work is going on and now accounts for over 10% of US venture capital.But suppose we set up a huge national effort to cure the common cold or cure leukemia. When would those cures be found? Would they ever? We can't guarantee that solar or wind or other forms of energy will arrive in the nick of time just as oil starts dwindling away. So my belief is that we have no choice but to carry on with the status quo until we can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wealthier nations may be willing to pay more for alternative energy as part of a strategy to be weaned away form oil, but what about the world's poorest people? If we curtail fossil fuels artificially and too soon, those people could really end up suffering if oil prices spiral out of control 10 years from now because planners wrongly assumed we'd have all the alternative energy we need by then.
Not to be disrespectful, but your pro-drilling bias is betrayed by your profession. However, putting that aside, based on you professional opinion in today's world how soon can the drilling begin and how soon can the product flow to the market once the green light is given?
Based on your calculation, if the same amount of money and resources are applied to alternative resources would the dividend for our children be smaller or greater than drilling?
I am no tree-hugger. In fact, I personally find certain other theories of global warming scientifically more credible (i.e., increased solar activity as indicated by solar spots). However, in terms of health and cold hard economics I feel it is in our interest to switch track to more renewable energy sources. Drilling may eventually lower crude price (highly unlikely) and with it the motivation to get away from that addiction, but it will take a long time. Besides when we can tap into tremendous amount of solar, wind and geothermal energy in combination with conservation technologies, our reason to manufacture bogus wars will disappear, I hope. Besides crude has some many better uses than burning it.
einsteinfactor,Your comments could have applied perfectly to the situation 10-15 years ago when industry started exploring in ultra-deep waters. There weren't many deep water rigs available. Production was 10 years away. Since then, billions of barrels have been discovered in deep water areas like Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, much of it already flowing.But I guess we should have stopped drilling back then. Right? I mean, if it only benefits our children, and not us, who needs it?
heimdall,A very difficult question, and I'm not the guy who can answer it. However, I think you're really asking, which of those three options is the most critical?I think the most important thing we can do right now is to develop a diversified portfolio of energy, because in the very long term our energy is not likely going to be derived from oil. Conservation is also important.... and a natural response to high prices. The US has been guilty of excessive demand, I think, and there's surely lots of room for further conservation.The issue I have is that we don't know when forces like conservation or alternative energy can start to seriously alleviate demand for petroleum. A lot of people seem to think (hope) that science will come to the rescue (and very soon at that), and that we should therefore just stop drilling. I'm not so cavalier. The world still needs oil and most projections show that it will be in demand 20 years into the future. OUr planning for the future needs to be based on hard realities, not aspirations.I don't strongly advocate offshore drilling, and I recognize a society's right to prefer keeping certain areas off limits, but at the same time, I worry that our lack of action now will be setting the stage for a much more serious problem 10-20 years down the road. We need to recognize that there is a price to pay for closing off vast areas from exploration. If we're collectively happy to pay that price, then fine. But let's not then turn around and throw darts at the oil industry 10 years from now as we continue to drive our SUV's and hold back world supply.
How stupid do politicians think people are? Offshore drilling is not going to bring any supply online for 10 years, plus there are no rigs availble to do the drilling, the system is working at full capacity. To build a new rig is also not trivial, it takes atleast 2-3 years. That doesn't take into account the fact that shipyards around the world are at capacity. It is just political BS designed to get the "patriotic" votes. We fall for it every time. Real solutions are in conservation and diversification of energy sources.
jernich,Given your experience in the oil industry, which do you think would have the largest long-term effect on oil prices: drilling, conservation, or creating a diversified portfolio of energy sources?
Fletch,"What about this conspiracy surrounding Gull Island(Alaska) and America already having enough oil to support the world for the next 200 yrs?"This is a rumor propagated by pastor. It's nonsense."If America did in fact find oil on the coast - would it be allowed to use it?"If the US government allowed the drilling, what rationale would it give to ban the production? I think the companies who want to spend billions drilling would agree with me that this makes no sense."Hence you really think China and Middle East are going to start allowing the US to drill and process their own oil? (decreasing the price of oil - killing the Arab economies)."In the US and elsewhere in the world, oil companies do not need permits from China and the Middle East to conduct exploration and production activities. Western oil companies have been drilling and producing their own oil continuously since OPEC was formed. In fact, western success in drilling (North Sea and Prudhoe Bay, for example) and conservation sent OPEC economies into a tailspin in the 1980's and 1990's.

JACKSON, N.J. – Professional Bowlers Association fans attending the GEICO PBA Team Shootout in Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J., June 11-12, will pay "kids prices" under a special promotion announced today.
The fourth annual summer special event, featuring stars of the Professional Bowlers Association bowling outdoors on specially-constructed lanes at Six Flags Great Adventure, is a made-for-television team competition. The 2010 version will feature a friendly war between Brunswick, Ebonite International, Storm Products and 900 Global – four rival bowling ball manufacturers which have selected their own teams.
Admission to the PBA event is free, but requires a paid admission into Six Flags. Six Flags will help boost attendance by offering a special coupon for a "kids price" admission of $29.99 plus tax for the entire event. Coupons can be found online at pba.com and a single coupon is valid for up to four admissions.
Brunswick's roster will feature New Jersey natives Parker Bohn III, a 32-time Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour champion, and 63-year-old Johnny Petraglia, one of five PBA Triple Crown winners and currently an active "super senior" on the PBA Senior Tour. Both are PBA Hall of Famers. Their teammates will include PBA Tour champions Sean Rash and Brad Angelo, and the only woman in the field, 20-time Professional Women's Bowling Association titlist Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, who grew up in Linden, N.J.
Ebonite International will field former PBA Players of the Year Chris Barnes (Columbia 300) and Tommy Jones (Ebonite), 2009 U.S. Open champion Mike Scroggins (Ebonite), 15-time PBA Tour titlist Jason Couch (Ebonite), 2010 Lumber Liquidators U.S. Open winner Bill O'Neill (Hammer), and two-time PBA Tour titlist Mike Fagan (Track), representing its four bowling ball brands.
Storm Products' lineup will include PBA Hall of Famers Norm Duke (33 titles and one of two Grand Slam winners) and Pete Weber (35 titles and a member of the Triple Crown club); Australian two-handed star Jason Belmonte and Rhino Page, the PBA's two most recent Rookies of the Year; and Roto-Grip representatives Wes Malott, the 2008-09 PBA Player of the Year, and Brian Kretzer, a first-time PBA Tour winner last season.
Rounding out the field will be 900 Global's star-studded roster of Hall of Famers Walter Ray Williams Jr. (47 titles and eight-time PBA Player of the Year) and Brian Voss (25 titles); former U.S. Open champion Robert Smith, and past PBA Tournament of Champions winners Michael Haugen Jr. and Steve Jaros.
The 2010 GEICO Team Shootout will use the Baker team format where five players bowl two frames each to complete a game. The round-robin series of matches will be contested on June 11 and 12 (June 13 is the "rain date"). All competition will be taped for delayed broadcast on ESPN on June 27 and July 3, 4 and 11.
The annual Six Flags event will concluded with a special "Walk in the Park" on Sunday, June 13, when four PBA stars will help raise money to benefit Cure Kids Cancer and Children's Miracle Network. Williams, Duke, Couch and Dorin-Ballard will participate in a one-mile walk through the park, starting at 9 a.m.
Each of the players, who will participate for their respective sponsors in the "Manufacturers Cup" competition. Fans who would like to make tax-deductible contributions on behalf of their favorite PBA star can visit walkintheparks.org and click the "Support A Walker" button.

.Head Coach- Jeff Quinn (4th year)
2013 Record: 4-8 (3-5 MAC Eest)
2012 was a year the Buffalo faithful had circled as a possible breakout season with plenty of experience back and a pretty good defense. Obviously things didn't pan out that way with a 1-7 start stamping out the Bulls dreams. A late season change at quarterback gave UB a 3-1 finish and hopes that the momentum carries over to 2013. Seems eerily similar to 2012 doesn't it with 15 players back and we know how that turned out so I have to see it to believe it for a program that doesn't have a winning tradition.
If experience counts for any thing, Buffalo is in great shape with 17 returning starters. The defense has been left to fend for itself on too many occasions and appear up to the task with eight back on the second ranked unit in the conference which is saying a lot with some pretty good offensive teams in the league. The centerpiece is linebacker Khalil Mack who recorded 21 TFL and had eight sacks while finishing with 94 stops. Offensively, nine players return with running back Branden Oliver a talented runner if given room to operate. The offense should be much improved with dual threat QB Alex Zordich back but Joe Licata might be the man under center after a strong finish in 2012.
The offense has to be considered a weak link until proven otherwise. Yes Branden Oliver is a talent, but he still needs room to operate and is Licata truly the man for the job? Buffalo needs production through the air and if he doesn't provide it, will Zordich be on the bench long? Even if Zordich starts the season, the Bulls can't struggle offensively and begin another year 1-7 but at some point I begin to wonder whether there is a difference between experience and talent on the offensive side of the ball. Whoever is under center, they have to get the ball to Alex Neutz who caught 65 balls for over 1,000 yards and that doesn't appear to be a sure thing the way the air attack has been.
The defense will keep Buffalo competitive if the offense carries their share of the load but that has been the case. The obvious key is an effective passing attack but at the risk of beating a dead horse; I need to see this for more than a few games. Some thing makes me believe we'll see some life in this team, but I thought the same in 2012 so in my view, a .500 season is possible but who knows.

BUCYRUS - Bucyrus brought pressure, and Columbian struggled to handle it.
The result was - for the second-straight game - 10 Tornado turnovers in the first quarter. On Saturday at Fostoria, Columbian was able to overcome its early miscues and win.
It wasn't as fortunate Thursday.
A left-wing 3 from Jocelyn Cole, gave TC some momentum, and it opened an early 7-2 advantage on the Redmen.
But from there, Macey Sheerer and Bucyrus took over.
Sheerer scored nine points in the first quarter alone, spurring a 16-2 run to close out the period. She finished with 20 points and eight rebounds as Bucyrus won, 49-32.
"She's just our catalyst," said Bucyrus coach Greg Moore, whose team upped its record to 4-5. "She's one of the top rebounders in the league, she's one of the leading scorers in the league, and she plays with pure heart."
Columbian finished the game with 30 turnovers.
"They got us flustered in the first half, and then we were playing from behind the whole time," TC coach Katie Fazekas said. "It was just a scramble tonight. Not good.
"We've got to do a better job taking care of the ball," she said.
Moore said the Redmen's pressure was key.
"It's advantageous to us to come out in run-and-jump, press the ball," he said. "We've got to push the ball in transition."
Bucyrus led 18-9 at the first stop and 31-17 at halftime, and extended its advantage to as many as 25 points in the third quarter. Sheerer was the only Bucyrus player to score in double figures, but nine Redmen scored overall.
Bucyrus went 18 of 40 from the floor.
"They got some stuff rolling," Fazekas said. "Things went well for them tonight, not so well for us."
Columbian's leading scorer was Cole, who had eight. The Tornadoes slipped to 5-6.
Fazekas said TC's offense really struggled.
"Offensively, we're just gonna scrap it and go back to basics," she said.

This house is amazing. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the upstairs had windows over looking the bottom; it was so much fun for everyone. The owner was very accommodating, welcoming and helpful. She left us with more then we needed, in the best of ways, and was very very sweet. She gave us a tour and explained everything so well. There were games, and toys for outside. We spent hours paying badminton! Overall our experience was perfect. We were close to the beach where we could play in tide pools, and the time we spent just hanging out in the house was fun. The kitchen was beautiful and after dinner you could stroll through the trees and look at the fish in the pond RIGHT OUTSIDE! It was amazing.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Redwood Manor is the perfect place to stay if you want an affordable, private and cozy house that sleeps 6 to 8 comfortably (assuming a couple of the beds are shared). We were there on a very cold weekend but the kerosene heater warmed the whole house. It was a little smaller than we imagined, but the garden and deck were very pleasant to sit out on. Wendy was a wonderful hostess and even returned some beads that had great sentimental value when i left them there.Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you kindly for taking the time to write a lovely review. I am very sorry that I was unable to accommodate 7 individual people in 7 separate beds. I very much appreciate your comments regarding my property and thanks again :-)

My husband and I had our friends come up here and stay for the weekend so that we could have a commitment ceremony in Russian Gulch. Wendy was amazing, warm and a great host; she helped in every way that she could, getting us firewood and making sure the hot tub was running well and finding places for our extra guests to stay and the whole weekend was just wonderful. The house is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos. We were sad to leave it at the end of the weekend and will definitely come back to stay as it was just such a warm, perfect time for us. No words could do it justice!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

We rented Redwood Manor to get our family together to celebrate our marriage. The location was perfect! It was exactly as we hoped it would be. It was secluded and serene without being too far away from the beach, the town and stores. The area around the house was beautiful and provided a lovely back drop for pictures with the family and it was dog friendly!!! The house was comfortable and clean. It was also equipped with everything we needed. Once we turned the lights out we were able to enjoy the meteor shower and see so many stars! We loved it! We didn't even spend much time in town because we had everything we needed at the rental. In town we did pass a brewery and many restaurants and shops. The beach is just a short car ride away from the rental. The owner is wonderful. After a long and winding drive in she made us feel so welcomed with a cozy fire burning in the living room and music. It was exactly what we needed. She even let us unload a few things and get settled before going over safety and appliance instructions. She's wonderful and was able to answer our questions during the rest of our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative and I do hope that we'll be visiting again soon.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

We enjoyed four days at Redwood Manor with our grown kids. The house was very comfortable for the eight of us. It was just roomy enough yet the open floor plan kept us all together whether in the kitchen, livingroom or at at the dining table playing games or eating. The outside deck and yard was also very much enjoyable. We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows in the little pit on the deck and we set up crouquet on the yard for marathon competitions. We enjoyed the beautiful flowers and watching the little fish in the pond eat. Back in the house, the Romeo and Juliet style balcony was very convenient for communicating with those who stayed upstairs. The downstairs bathroom was spacious enough for four of us to share. The walk-in shower was perfect; especially for one of our girls who just had knee surgery. It was so easy and convenient for her to get in and out. I really want to come back and enjoy a nice soak in the tub. We made some delicious meals and had no problem finding what we needed in the kitchen. Away from the house, we were less than a mile and a half from Pudding Creek and the bike path. We had nice walks, runs, and bike rides from the house. The dirt road is well maintained and enjoyable for a nice walk away from traffic. We hope to be back.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Our family spent 4 nights at this Manor and did not want to leave! This is a truly beautiful and peaceful place with a early morning visiting deer, fish ponds, outside BBQ for roasting marshmallows and so much more. It's close to the Botanical Garden's and ocean. There's a great little sandwich shop with the best clam chowder next to the skunk train and a wonderful ice cream shop (cowlick's) in town. Wendy keeps the home very clean and is a wonderful host. We plan to return next year, hopefully for a week.Thanks again Wendy!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Our 8 adult family members and 2 grandchildren had a fantastic time. The weather was perfect. Oh, the Beds - so Fine. The Hot tub was a great baby sitter - there were no fights - just fun. Games on the lawn, feeding the fish, listening to the comforting music, playing the Wii. Great BBQs - Totally lovely in every way. The best vacation spot ever - and we've been to Maui many times.Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: I am originally from York, north of England, but have lived in California for nearly 18 years now. I have spent 11+ years here on the beautiful Mendocino coast developing this exquisite property into my dream 'little English' escape and feel very fortunate to be able to share my dream with others. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions at all regarding the property :).
Why the Owner Chose Fort Bragg:
Beach: 3+ minutes by car, approx 20 mins by foot, approx 10 mins jogging.
By car: 8 minutes to the historical town of Fort Bragg, 20-25 minutes to the historical town of Mendocino. The beach is seconds away from the end of Airport Road where it meets HWY 1, you can either choose to park at a public car park which gives you access to the Haul road and a trail which meanders north to the beaches, rock pools, fishing/diving spots and headlands or south which takes you over the historic Pudding Creek Trestle Bridge (recently renovated) and over the headlands to the famous Glass beach. Alternatively you can park at Pudding Creek beach (where the creek meets the sea) and have direct access to the beach - the creek is more like a river and a lot more safer than the ocean for little ones to paddle in.
Situated on the end of a very private lane (off Airport Road), in an extremely safe and quiet neighborhood in the center of 3+ acres surrounded by trees and meadows - not a neighbor in sight. Loads of space for kids to run around and if you have dog(s) great to throw sticks a long long way. There is a croquet set, badminton net and rackets for outdoor fun. For fun family/romantic outdoor evenings there is a 8' by 8' hot tub (extra cost) situated off the south deck and a fire pit situated on the patio for warmth and to toast marshmallows.
There are two ponds for your enjoyment that I am pleased to say are not easily accessed by children.
Feeling adventuress?, you can even take a walk in the surrounding woods.
Every first Friday of the month Fort Bragg has what they call 'First Friday', whereupon the galleries/book shops open there doors late for locals and guests get to preview new books and art and very generously offer free finger food and sometimes wine.
If you are looking for privacy, peace and an escape from everything yet need to pop to the beach/town/store this is, perhaps the place for you :)
The Unique Benefits at this Chateau / Country House:
I purchased this property ultimately for privacy, space, and it is a very safe and friendly neighborhood. It has abundance of nature, wildlife and more importantly an escape from the coastal fog (that's not a promise though as she sometimes visits). Not a neighbor in sight. It's especially pleasurable to sit by the pond or on the main south facing deck drinking morning coffee or afternoon wine spritzers:). I love the layout because it has an open kitchen to the huge south facing 31' x 18' great room - perfect for entertaining. Overall the house has so much character, warmth and space and the surrounding grounds that offer plenty of meadow area for outdoor activities along with a perimeter woodland that adds total privacy.

Kenmore Elite Microwave Problem
Model Number: 665.63794300 Brand: Kenmore Age: 1 - 5 years
My Kenmore Elite Speedcook Oven started making vibrating or rattling noises in the area of the magnetron when it was turned on. The Sears repairman quoted replacing the motor/fan assembly (part # 8184876).
I wasn't sure I wanted to pay the quoted repair price of $325.00 so I took the Microwave down myself with some help and disassembled the fan/motor from the unit. I could not tell if that $100 part was causing the noise but the resistance seemed to be okay. I then ran the micrwave without the vent fan and the noise was still there. The only other moving parts I think are the turntable motor and a little plastic cooling fan in the control area which I don't believe are making the noise. I wonder if the magnetron could be making this noise? Any suggestions? Ads By Google Related Models |

Found May 11, 2013 on
Take away Floyd Mayweather's gambling, his penchant for being obnoxious at times, and his flair for being arrogant, and what you have is essentially a boxing genius.
People sometimes can't see that because they get caught up in other things Floyd. Other athletes are aware of that though, and usually always pay homage.
After Floyd put on a clinical boxing session against Robert Guerrero last weekend, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant sent out a tweet calling Mayweather Jr., "Bobby Fischer with gloves," a genuine reference to the former 1970′s chess champion that many considered a genius.
Mayweather and Bryant are one in the same in some ways, and if you study them long enough, you see some similarities. Lakers forward Metta World Peace can see those similarities, and told Yahoo Sports, that "Bryant and Money Mayweather have a lot in common."
"They have a lot in common," World Peace told Yahoo! Sports. "When you get great athletes and look at them you see these similarities in the way their mind works.
"There is this focus and mindset that comes from knowing you have the physical and technical ability to outperform your opponent, that you are starting out with that advantage already in your pocket. From there it is about executing when it matters, and they have both done that time and time again."
World Peace of course was able to acknowledge that the one difference might be Floyd being a boxer in a sport by himself, and Bryant having to work with teammates.
"Sometimes Kobe tries too hard," World Peace said. "He wants to win so bad, and it makes him want to do a little bit too much. He feels that pressure of needing to try to carry his teammates on his shoulders and get them over the line. Kobe is more flashy that Floyd, but basketball is also that kind of sport.
"If you are flashy in basketball and make a mistake, you might lose the ball. If you do it in boxing, you could get knocked out. Floyd just wants to get the job done and that is what he did against Guerrero. In boxing, that is how you are going to last for a long time. You don't see a lot of boxers sticking around for as long as Floyd and still beating everyone like that."
Original Story:
Why is Kobe Bryant's mom forced to sell his stuff? Why doesn't he just give her some money?
Judge: No auction yet of Kobe Bryant's stuff

TO GOVERNOR TRUMBULL.Headquarters,Orange Town, Dear Sir,I am again reduced to the painful necessity of informing your Excellency of the situation in which we are, with respect to provision of the meat kind and of earnestly entreating every assistance in your power to give, for our relief. The whole army, has been already without meat one day, and a great part of it, two. We have none now in camp, and no good prospect that I can find of receiving any within a reasonable time. The most we can hope for, from any resources within our own command, are Sixty Barrels of salt meat, on the way from West point, which post is now almost entirely degarnished, and cannot have by the last return more than a hundred and twenty barrels, at most, in store. Your Excellency from the state of matters will but too sensibly feel for our alarming situation, and the more so when you reflect we are in a country that did not afford much meat at any time, and that it has been exhausted by the armies on both sides, to the extreme distress of its inhabitants. Our condition at any period would be painful and highly injurious to the public service; but to be in a starving situation at the commencement of the campaign before our operations have even begun, is peculiarly so; must be discouraging in the extreme to our new levies, who now compose half of our force; and must blast and put an end to all our prospects, if we are not relieved from it tho' in every other respect events should arise bidding fair for success. I will not attempt to detail the consequencies to which this would lead, nor the ideas and apprehensions it would excite in our allies and friends abroad, nor the confidence the Enemy would derive from it. These will but too readily occur to your Excellency, and I am sure you will believe with me that our friends would be greatly alarmed and embarrassed at least, at the circumstance. While the cry of the enemy would be,—We will persevere in the war! America cannot maintain even a small army, for our present one cannot be ranked under any other appellation; or what will be equally encouraging to them, but more disgraceful to us, they will say—Their boasted patriotism is gone, or their wisdom and energy, for though their resources for war still remain, they will not bring them into action! I am now arranging matters to make a forage on this impoverished people having no other alternative left me, from which I could draw the least possible relief; and even from this, though it will ruin them, I expect to derive the most trifling succor. I rely on that goodness and promptitude I have ever found in your Excellency to promote the public service and am persuaded you will exert all your influence to give us relief, on the present important and alarming occasion.1 [1 ]"You are appointed to the command of the Light Infantry, and four brigades from your own wing, to be employed upon a forage down to Bergen, and from thence up to the English neighborhood. You will make the necessary disposition for your own security and the wagons employed on the occasion. Such are the necessities of the army, and such the situation of the Inhabitants, being all within the power of the Enemy, that you will make the forage as extensive as possible in the articles of hay and grain, as well as in cattle, hogs, and sheep, fit for slaughter; and horses fit for the use of the army. All the articles taken are to be receipted for by the respective departments to which they belong; and the whole sent up to the army, and delivered over to the Officers in the several departments to be appointed to receive and receipt for the same, except such articles of provisions and forage, as may be necessary for the subsistence of the Party under your command. |
