Larger airline expresses interest in Scottsbluff EAS route
A larger airline may have interest in bidding on Scottsbluff's essential air service contract when it is open for renewal next year.
Scotts Bluff County Airport Authority Chair Don Overman told the board Wednesday that a meeting with Skywest Airlines officials in late October was fruitful in generating real interest in serving Scottsbluff. Overman said there was no guarantee Skywest would bid for the route, but he added if "nothing unusual" happens between now and the spring he believes "there's no question" Skywest will make a bid for the Scottsbluff route next year.
Overman said this was the third time local officials have met with Skywest, and if Skywest did bid for the route, they would fly 30 passenger Brasilia aircraft that have restrooms and a steward on board. Overman says Skywest also has over 300 aircraft and did not indicate it was having the pilot problems that have caused Great Lakes Airlines to cancel a number of flights this fall.
Overman praised local Great Lakes employees for helping passengers book alternate flights when their flights have been canceled. But Board member Dr. Lou Kleager said "reliability not cost" is becoming the big issue with the Scottsbluff based flights, adding it "has to get fixed."
Overman said he "shares the pain" of local passengers after canceled flights caused him and Airport Manager Darwin Skelton to adjust their flight schedules and do some extra driving to get to the meeting in Utah with Skywest representatives.

So there is a report on the front page saying sources confirmed that berto has been training in hunters gym. To me this will be a good move for berto, until he gets hit that is. I think virgil can make him be more careful and maybe increase his ring iq, but once he gets hit/if he gets hit he will crumble and resort back to his slugging ways.
Your guys thoughts on this?

I think Berto is far too stuck in his ways at this point. Like Dolimite mentioned, his comeback fight should be in FNFs, to help him focus.
Think about it, he's mindfucked us enough by beating up tomato cans, so his opponents can no longer be cupcakes at this point. Imagine if they try to throw him back on premium tv this soon...dude's mind will tell him to perform as if he "deserves" to be on premium tv.
Something tells me that Berto is one of those guys who will never get the point.

I think that these lenses do indicate that Canon is now planning high end video, perhaps in competition with Red. I think well see some $60,000 cameras to match.

The Somerset County Park Commission Environmental Education Center is organizing its fifth annual Eco-Rally to continue efforts to save energy and reduce the carbon footprint.
According to a release from the commission, between April 1 and April 15, those participating in the rally will begin keeping a daily log of everyday tasks they do that reduce energy and promote greener lifestyles.
Such actions, the release said, could include turning off lights when leaving a room, walking instead of driving, using reusable bags when shopping, planting a native tree or carrying lunch in a reusable container.
Those participating in the rally, the release said, are also being asked to create a display of images that represent their contributions to the environment.
From there, awards will be given for "Most Creative Display," "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," "Water Conservation," "Green Thumb" and "Energy Conservation."
The awards and projects will be shown at the annual Project Earth Swamp Search on April 28 at the Environmental Education Center on Stirling Road in Basking Ridge.
"The Eco-Rally provides an opportunity for individuals to become aware of the little things that people can do as part of their everyday lives that serve to minimize their carbon footprint," said Carrie Springer, naturalist at the Environmental Education Center, the release said. "The Eco-Rally reinforces the fact that these very important actions are easy to accomplish and little by little, create a significant positive impact on the environment."
There is no charge for participating in the rally.
For more information or to sign up in advance, call Maria Rossi at 908-766-2489, ext. 334, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Few would argue that the indirect Israel-Syria talks through Turkish mediation, which were first announced 21 May, were a sign of political maturity and readiness for peace. In fact, while the discussions seemed concerned with the occupied Syrian Golan Heights and
A precarious report published in The Jerusalem Post — citing a news report in the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai on 2 September — claimed that the Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal has left
Whether the report is fully, partially or not at all accurate, the fact remains that
But this is an issue that even Hamas itself doesn't seem to be concerned with, at least at the moment, for it's equally understood that Israel is not serious about its negotiations with Syria, and that the whole affair is a political manoeuvre aimed at disturbing the Syria-Iran alliance, cutting off the supposed Hizbullah weapon supply route, and further de-legitimising Hamas, while propping up its Palestinian rivals.
Consider A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, a report prepared and signed by major Washington-based neoconservatives in 1996. It made the following recommendation to the Israeli government at the time: "Negotiations with repressive regimes like
The mindset behind the report had great sway over Israeli thinking, as was made clear in 2000 when then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak froze Israeli-Syrian negotiations at a point that an agreement was reportedly at hand. The thrust of
That was tried and failed miserably.
Since then,
But Sarkozy's choice of Damascus to promote Israel's ominous threat further highlights the relevance of Iran to his efforts, which would not have actualised without prior Israeli consent. Considering how quickly the Iraqi regime fell following the US invasion in 2003, and the succumbing of the Libyan government soon after, Syria is treading carefully, while trying to hold on to several winning cards, its strong relationship with Iran being one.
Although Syria is eager to reclaim the Israeli occupied Syrian Golan Heights, its leaders must also realise that the current Israeli leadership is in no position to negotiate withdrawal from what was illegally annexed by the Israeli Knesset in 1982. To override the strong opposition to withdrawal, the Israeli leadership must be indisputably interested in ending the occupation — which it is not — and strong enough to pull off such a major "concession", which is also not the case.
Nonetheless, Syria carries on with its indirect talks with Israel, one round after the other, with much enthusiasm, coupled with talks about economic development, investment, etc.
It is clear that neither Israel nor Syria is anticipating a "breakthrough" anytime soon. For now, talking is an end in itself. Concurrently, Israel wishes to woo Syria to break with Hamas and other Palestinian groups, break with Iran and, at least, twist Hizbullah's arm in Lebanon. Syria, on the other hand, knows well that indirect talks with Israel are an unmatched act of political validation in the West, enough to lessen US threats, win France's friendship, and appear in a positive light internationally.
Both parties want to come across as accommodating, willing partners in peace and, at a future point, there might be a few overtures, the extent of which could be devastating to Palestinian factions in Damascus. Meshaal might not be in Sudan, but if he is, or will be soon, one cannot be entirely surprised.

Portions of this story are from UA News.
A small telescope at the bottom of the Earth is where UA researchers hope to find answers about how star-forming nebulae themselves form in space.
Craig Kulesa is one of the University of Arizona astronomers working with data from the telescope.
"We see all these clouds of dust and gas, but no one's ever seen one form. They're just there. Where did they come from? And what happens to them?" Kulesa asked. "Every star in the sky, including our sun, was formed in these clouds."
The HEAT telescope observes star-forming molecular clouds such as the Orion nebula, which to some appears as the shape of a winged dragon in flight. Scientists know little about the lifecycle of these molecular clouds. (Image: NASA)
"This life cycle of matter in our galaxy is really our own story," Kulesa said. Stars make all the elements we are made out of, he said: "This cycle sculpts every star, every galaxy in the universe, and we owe our human existence to it. So it's worth trying to figure out how it works."
The telescope is situated on top of an Antarctic ice field and is nicknamed HEAT.
While the telescope operates at -40 below zero, its HEAT name comes from an abbreviation of High-Elevation-Antarctic-Terahertz telescope and not its ability to keep warm enough to work under the harsh weather conditions.
The telescope keeps a silent year-long vigil atop Ridge A, a high plateau in the center of Antarctica. It's one of the driest, coldest and calmest places on Earth, ideal for astronomical observations. (Image courtesy of Craig Kulesa)
The telescope itself is small.
UA News describes it as sitting "on a platform, shielded from the elements by a large blue cover that looks rather like a mailbox."
UA astronomer Craig Kulesa installs the HEAT telescope at Ridge A. The three-mirror telescope focuses light onto a small cryostat that contains detectors cooled to -370 degrees Fahrenheit. (Photo: Luke Bycroft)
HEAT is designed to work with minimal human intervention.
"The telescope looks like the farthest outreach of the U.S. postal service," Kulesa joked, gazing fondly upon a photo of the observatory setup. "We visit it once a year. We're out in the deep field for a week getting it ready to go for another year, and when we wave goodbye, no human will see it again until the next year. It has to run all by itself."
During the Southern Hemisphere summer (winter here in Arizona) the telescope runs off solar power.
In the winter diesel generators keep it working.
HEAT gathers data with sensitive radio receivers and sends the information back to researchers at the University of Arizona via satellite modems.
Find out why the telescope needs to be located in the Antarctic by clicking here.
Simply put the radio receivers can see what the eye cannot, allowing researchers to pick out clouds of atoms that could someday transform into nebulae.

This was a different Christmas for us.
We are participating as a host family in Christmas International House, a program that our congregation has been part of for three years. Christmas International House was started by a minister who realized that in his college town, many international students had no place to be during the Christmas break when the dorms were closed, and he found out that many international students studying in the United States never spend time in an American home.
The program has grown, and this year there are 25 sites around the United States, offering hospitality to international students during the Christmas break. This program is not an evangelistic outreach, but one of Christian hospitality seeking interfaith understanding. Through our congregation, Fort Mill is one of the sites. There are six students here this year, four from Japan, one from China, and one from Pakistan. Included in their activities here are a Bobcats game, the Panthers/Saints game (church members donated their tickets!), ice skating, bowling, going to the movies, attending worship services, and participating in family life at their hosts' homes.
Our family has hosted one student from Japan, and the student from Pakistan. They are studying at universities in Arkansas and Virginia. We learned something of family life in Japan, and have watched Minagi produce the most elegantly wrapped Christmas presents in the history of our family as she helped me wrap gifts. This gentle, soft-spoken young woman who is talented at origami worked hard not to laugh at my rather careless wrapping process. We spoke of Christmas in Japan, which has become a cultural holiday much like the cultural Christmas of the United States, with Santa and songs and gift giving. This beautiful young woman embodies the grace and humility of Japan.
It is Lina who has produced the most surprises and theological challenges. She is a young woman from a small village in rural Pakistan, the youngest of seven daughters and one son in her very conservative Muslim family. She has taught us a lot about life in her family and in Pakistan, and expectations of her there. Watching six older sisters live into the expectations of their culture, as most of us do, Lina decided that an arranged marriage at a young age was not for her. And so she finds herself in an American university, geographically and relationally isolated from her family, questioning everything.
And thus I find myself, on the road to McAdenville and the Christmas lights, answering the question, "So what is Christmas?" And I tell the Christian story of Jesus and his birth, and a date tied to the pagan celebration of the winter solstice, and I tell the story of St. Nicholas and gift giving, and I tell how those things all morphed into the cultural consumerist chaos of Christmas in America. And she comes to worship service on Christmas Eve, and asks what will happen, and I tell her of broken bread and a shared cup and how the story of the baby at Christmas looks as if it will end on a cross, but then resurrection happens. And we talked of how the Christian Christmas story is incomplete without the story of a death and resurrection.
And she asks why the old stories are important? For it seems to her, the old stories of Judaism and Islam and Christianity lead to hatred and fighting and thousands of years of war. Wouldn't it be easier just to live into new stories, and leave the old stories behind? And so we talk of ancient people trying to make sense of their lives and reality, trying to make sense of the power that's beyond themselves, and we talk of the universal aspect of so many of the old stories of people choosing hatred over love, warfare over peace, self interest over the good of the community, and that God pursues us with love in spite of all our bad choices. And we talk of what we can learn from those old stories that might teach us how to live into new reality.
And so I pray, for Lina as she seeks the path for her life, and for all of us, that indeed we might learn from the old stories to live into the reality of God's unfailing love and of God's desire for us to learn from each other and to live in peace.
The Rev. Dr. Joanne Sizoo is pastor at Grace Presbyterian Church in Fort Mill, near the intersection of Hwy 160 and Gold Hill Road. Contact her at mailto:email@example.com.

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.
The board said the utility acknowledges that the proceeding reiterated the importance of flawless compliance.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

Scotland is seeing a radical loss of religious commitment and faith, particularly among her young adults. Why the decline?
Members of the Church of Scotland were polled and only 37% said they believe Jesus was God's son and came back to life after being crucified. Are the pastors who have been presiding over this apostasy still getting paid? If so, does it please them?
I ask because I'm remembering Kierkegaard's comment that, for many pastors, a church without people is their ideal. They want a sinecure—not a messy, smelly flock.
As goes the preaching, so goes the church; and as goes the church, so goes the nation. After years sitting in presbytery meetings listening to sermons by recent grads of my denomination's seminary... I called a man at the top of the denomination's leadership and told him the seminary and its president would be the death of the denomination; that our seminary grads' preaching was weak and faithless.
Which is to say American Presbyterians are not far behind Scotland and should expect the same decline of Christian faith unless and until God raises up men who preach the Law and the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. By faith.
* * *
Reports a Presbyterian elder from the USA, "Last summer, when (my wife) and I were in Scotland over a Sunday, I was considering attending the dignified, stately Presbyterian Church of Scotland edifice in the centre (Scottish spelling) of St. Andrews. Before attending their service, though, I decided to Google that particular church to see if it seemed orthodox. Finding that the assistant pastor was a professor in "diversity studies" at the local university, I decided that we would instead worship at the local Baptist church (which turned out to be quite sound)."
Pastor Bayly,
Good admonishment and warnings... I wish it were so that you didnt have to give them.
One thing I remember from my university days was the number of Anglican priests (Lewis Carroll, Thomas Bayes, others) who more or less used their parsonages as a sinecure from which to conduct literary, scientific, and other endeavors. I can't remember whether the same applies to the Kirk, but if it does, it would explain the desolation there as it does the desolation in the Church of England. There was a culture where the pastorate was simply viewed as a great alternative for young men of good breeding who lacked initiative. As a result, no big surprise that the working classes abandoned the churches.
For that matter, I guess it explains the desolation in any number of churches, mainline to fundamental, where many view the pastorate and the Gospel as a means to a living and little more.
Bert speaks of "the desolation of the Church of England." My daughter and son-in-law spent three years in Cambridge and are about to return there for further studies. The first two years were spent visiting a great number of C of E parishes which were either dead, dead, dead; or, terminally neurotic.
I forget now how it happened, but they stumbled onto an intrepid group of British Lutherans (!), operating a seminary to which they admitted American students for a year-abroad program, as well as students from Continental Lutheran jurisdictions. It turned out that the English-language liturgy they used borrowed heavily from the Book of Common Prayer, except these Lutherans believe what that liturgy proclaims. The UK Lutherans have a concordat with the American Missouri Synod.
So, my cradle Prayer Book daughter and son-in-law (he's also my godson) are happily Lutheran, looking forward to their reunion with the British Lutherans in Cambridge when they return there this Spring. If the C of E won't use the fruits of the English Reformation properly (and sincerely), then someone else will!
There used to be a pretty good Anglican church meeting at St Andrew the Great in Cambridge, when I was there in the latter half of the 90s. They were unfortunately the exception rather than the rule. There is a good Presbyterian church in Cambridge pastored by Ian Hamilton. I have a very good friend who attends there.
Evangelicalism Divided by Iain H. Murray explains a lot.
I'm going to be in London for a few days later this year. Can anyone recommend a good church there?

Metropolitan Tabernacle is only Reformed Baptist but they aren't liberal and have a great book shop. They're not too far from the Elephant and Castle line.
Wait a second ... Just hold on ... Did David Gray just recommend that someone attend a Baptist Church?
Wait a second ... Just hold on ... Did David Gray just recommend that someone attend a Baptist Church?
I've attended a Baptist church on a few occasions over the last few years. It is better than neglecting corporate worship. It is inferior to attending a church which has a Biblical understanding of the means of grace and is overtly monergistic.
Actually what is truly scary is my recipe for crockpot haggis, which has been described as Presbyterian sausage. :)
Okay. I'm better now.
Obviously Brother Wegener just had some of Brother Grey's haggis. ;^)
OK, seriously, sad to consider that it's awful hard to figure out good churches in a city as big as London. That said, I've heard the same about New York, too.
What's so hard about preaching a Law & Gospel sermon today when the Reformers did it weekly (and sometimes daily) in the 16th century?
The best UK "going to church" story I know was told on himself by Alan Ross, from whom I learned Hebrew at DTS. He is a Bob Jones grad, and in those days still "looked lit it." Knowing this, after one of his particularly mind-warping expositions of irregular defective verbs, a fellow in the class asked him where he went to church when he was taking his doctorate in Hebrew at Oxford.
"At first, I attended nonconformist assemblies," he said. "But, these were so legalistic, I couldn't stand it."
Our eyebrows crawled up to our hairlines! A Bob Jones alumnus finding someone ~else~ to be legalistic???
"So, I decided to try one of the State Churches." He meant, of course, the Church of England.
"When I showed up, there was almost no one there, and only a handful appeared before the service began. Meanwhile, I picked up the Book of Common Prayer and began to leaf through it. I thought 'This is right out of the Bible,' and 'I can certainly worship with this' and similar thoughts.
"So, I began to attend regularly, and after a while, I joined the Church of England."
At that time (mid-Seventies), Ross was the only Episcopalian on the DTS faculty. He went on to teach Hebrew at one of the last orthodox seminaries in the mainline Episcopal Church (TrinitySchool of Ministry) and wrote an introductory Hebrew grammar.
That story provided the germ for about a decade of ruminations which, along with many related factors, grew into my embrace of the English Reformation and my eventual ordination as an Anglican priest.
You know that was similar to my reaction when I started attending evensong at Ely Cathedral when I lived there. I'd never encountered the BCP and my reaction was "it's almost all scripture." I knew someone who worked at the Cathedral and knew most of the men who conducted the services were heterodox to some degree but the service was almost all scripture and there was little place for them to inflict their error on those worshiping.
As someone who has lived in Scotland for several years, can I chip in here. My take on things, is that the problem with the Reformed culture in Scotland, as it percolated from the Church of Scotland, is that it has actually succeeded in inoculating several generations of Scots against the Christian faith. This has been in all sorts of ways; basically in its presentation of the Christian life as a cold and legalistic thing, more obsessed with rule-keeping than anything else. Orthodox for a while, but not very welcoming. As a result, without the life of God, it only took a generation or so for all the errors to creep in.
Our Baptist and Pentecostal friends here seem, to me, to make far more of an effort to both welcome people and get out there with the Gospel than what most of the Free Churches manage. They are perfectly Reformed, but miss the boat in many other ways.
Hi Ross,
where about in Scotland are you / were you based?
I'm in Edinburgh. You were part of Duncan St Baptist in the 1990s, as I recall?
I used to attend Duncan St Baptist when I was on leave in Scotland 1995-2000 (usually a couple of times a year).
A few years ago a friend returned form a visit to Scotland full of enthusiasm afor the church he had attended. I asked what sort of churc it was. "Why, Presbyterian. Church of Scotland, I guess." I said, "I bet it wasn't. I bet it was"wee free (Free Church of Scotland)." It was.
I took a look at the COS website and there are quite a few women pastors, maybe half.
Hi Ross,
Small world, I'm also in Edinburgh (studying until end on May). I wasn't part of Duncan Street baptist in the 1990's - I visited there once though a year or 2 ago but actually attend Charlotte Chapel. Yourself?
Ross --
I'm going to be in Edinburgh on Sunday, Aug. 25th. Can you recommend a church that's near public transportation? Please e-mail me "offline" with details - cblairedit at aol dot com I may have other questions for you, as well.
Henry - I'm at St Pauls & St George's; but I helped, for many years, with the International Fellowship at Charlotte Chapel. I can be located on FB under my full name (Ross Clark) -
That' interesting, I've not been to the IF myself but know of it and think I also may have been to P&G's once a while back. (Btw I'm not an FB user... but thanks.)
Wonder why American Presbyterians assume that the Church of Scotland is the only game in town. I was visiting St Andrews last week and attended the worship service of the Free Church of Scotland. It was well attended, the worship was biblical, the preaching expositional and challenging, and the welcome warm. I believe that any visitors from the States would find their visit to "the home of golf" enriched by worship with such an evangelical presbyterian fellowship.

The Charlotte Bobcats have prepared an offer for unrestricted free agent point guard Goran Dragic, according to CBSSports.com's Ken Berger.
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but with Wednesday's trade that sent Steve Nash to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns may be in hot pursuit of the 26-year-old Slovenian point man, who played for the Houston Rockets last season:
Sources w/knowledge of Suns' plans say PHX now making hard push to sign free agent Goran Dragic. Raps also trying to sign PG away from HOU— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 4, 2012
As you may remember, Dragic spent the first two-plus seasons of his NBA career with with Suns before being traded (along with a first-round draft pick) to the Rockets for Aaron Brooks in February 2011. Dragic appeared in all 66 games of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season for Houston, making 28 starts and averaging a career-best 11.7 points and 5.3 assists per game.
Clearly, the Nash trade has created a domino effect. The Suns are now in need of a young, solid point guard, meaning Dragic's value on the free agent market has increased. But will the Bobcats' offer win out?

Very good and easy to make. Bake at least 30 minutes or more.
Excellent recipe! I cut the measurements down for a 1lb salmon, and I added Mediterranean seasoning. My topping was thick and covered the entire filet, but I let it bake at 375 for closer to 30 minutes. It was awesome! Definitely making again!
We have made is recipe many times and it never fails. In fact, you end up with twice as much topping than needed when you make this, so I freeze half of it for the next time.
Loved this!! Very good. Very easy. That's all I need to say. :)
This was very flavorful with the fresh herbs and bread crumbs. It also looked very nice. Be sure to bake long enough for the crumb topping to brown and crisp up a bit. I will bake at 400 degrees next time.

U.S. Open men's singles draw - analysisStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet2 days ago
It's not as though Rafael Nadal is a slam-dunk to win in New York. Far from it, even if the last three times he has played it he has reached the final once and won it twice, including a year ago.
So his not-surprising decision to miss it leaves a hole and none of the top contenders, from a tennis point of view, would be too upset to see his name missing from the draw.
On summer form, this is a wide-open event. Top seed Novak Djokovic was sort of a newlywed ghost during his two rather brief appearances in tuneup events in Toronto and Cincinnati. No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka still seems to be suffering some late Australian Open reverb, because he's not anywhere close to the player he was in January when he became the first outside the "top group" to pull off a major.
In form? No. 2 seed Roger Federer. And Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the No. 9 seed, who won the Canadian event in Toronto and defeated four top-10 players to do it.
U.S. Open women's singles draw - analysisStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet2 days ago
As with the men, the absence of the No. 2 seed, in this case Li Na of China, throws everything a little out of whack.
But there still is a nice balance among the top four seeds, split between the heavy hitters – Serena Williams and Petra Kvitova – and the great movers with more finesse in Simona Halep and Agnieszka Radwanska.
The heavy hitters are in the top half; the "finessers" are in the bottom half.
Arguably the two most dangerous players outside the top 10, health permitting, could prove to be big obstacles at the beginning of the second week as No. 16 Victoria Azarenka (last year's runner-up to Serena Williams) stands in Kvitova's way, and No. 19 seed Venus Williams in Halep's way as early as the fourth round.
Of course, they all have to get there.
Here's how the draws could shake out for the top contenders. We grade the difficulty of their respective draws from A to D (A being the relatively easiest, D the biggest challenge with possible early roadblocks).
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - tennis styleStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet4 days ago
All over the sports world and elsewhere, people are accepting the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness for ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The campaign, which didn't start as an ALS-related stunt, has raised more than $15 million so far.
You don't have to actually DO the challenge to donate. You can do it right here.
Here is some of what the tennis players have been up to, in support of the cause.
Novak Djokovic needs some mood music:
Ana Ivanovic checks in from what looks like some garbage-strewn back alley somewhere in Manhattan.
Gabriela Sabatini does her bit from Argentina:
Grigor Dimitrov completed the challenge in the ocean (smart move) and with a rather famous bucket holder in Greg Norman.
Norman challenged ex-wife Chris Evert, who also accepted a challenge From Tracy Austin and turned it around to Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.

Rafael Nadal out of U.S. OpenStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet5 days ago
When Rafael Nadal announced last Friday that he was postponing until Monday his decision on whether to participate in the U.S. Open, there were two possibilities.
Either the world No. 2 had decided to play, but just wanted to take a few more days to make sure. Or, more likely, his injured right wrist wasn't sufficiently healed but he wanted to give it a few more days, just in case there was a big last-minute turnaround.
Not surprisingly, it was the latter scenario.
And so Nadal will miss the U.S. Open for the second time in three years; he missed it in 2012 with his knee problems and won it a year ago.
Here's the statement from Nadal, from the U.S. Open web site.
Maria Sharapova shows ruthless side in loss to Ana Ivanovic in CincinnatiStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet6 days ago
The semi-final match between WTA Tour marquee players Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic in Cincinnati Saturday night might not have featured the best tennis in the game's history – although it had its moments – but it wasn't short on drama.
Ivanovic led by a set and 4-0, then 5-2 before Sharapova mounted a comeback to lead 4-2 in the third set and have match points at 5-4. Ivanovic ended up winning it 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 in two hours and 45 minutes.
But the moment that had social media in an uproar came in the second game of the final set when Ivanovic doubled over, apparently in some distress and in tears, and ended up lying on the court as the tournament physician took her blood pressure.
Sharapova was clearly not impressed; earlier, she also had been unimpressed at Ivanovic leaving the court, asking the chair umpire whether she was merely taking a bathroom break or doing a full wardrobe change. In short, she was not impressed, and perhaps even less impressed with the way she was playing to put herself in such a deep hole.
Milos Raonic's Excellent Hair AdventureStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet7 days ago
Canadian Milos Raonic's impenetrable fortress of a hairdo has become such a topic of conversation, it's surprising it doesn't yet have its own parody Twitter account.
It was the bulk of his press conference after a barely discussion-worthy 6-1, 6-0 dismantling of the Italian Fabio Fognini Friday in Cincinnati. Raonic was happy to get into the nitty-gritty of how his 'do becomes his 'do, and the science behind it.
After experimentation, Raonic has found the secret to making it sweatproof.
"I actually found one brand that ... before the issue would be if you put a lot of product the hair doesn't absorb it at all and it just keeps going down your face. This one allows the hair to absorb it as well. I still sweat across my eyes, just not as much as if I used another product," he said. "My sweat doesn't go down the back. It still comes down the front of my face. I can't redirect that. Nowadays you can make dams, you can make lakes, you can make everything artificial. I cannot artificially direct my hair and my sweat."
Raonic also discussed his early cap-wearing days.
Juan Martín del Potro out of U.S. Open; Rafael Nadal postpones decisionStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet8 days ago
The villain is the same: the wrist on the off-hand.
It means right-hander Juan Martín del Potro of Argentina, who was targeting a return at the U.S. Open after undergoing surgery on his left wrist March 24, won't be there after all.
It could mean that left-hander Rafael Nadal, who injured his right wrist during practice a few days before the Rogers Cup in Toronto last week and also is absent in Cincinnati this week, might miss it as well.
In Nadal's case, he has had a splint on the hand since the injury occurred July 30. He was to announce his decision on whether he would compete in New York on Friday.
Public-relations manager Benito Perez-Barbadillo made this announcement on Twitter:
Decision on US Open participation for @RafaelNadal postponed till early next week. No decision today or tomorrow.
Del Potro hasn't played since the tournament in Dubai in late February, when he retired in the second set of his first-round match against Somdev Devvarman of India. He returned to the court at the end of May, but without testing the surgically-repaired right wrist. He only hit his first backhands on July 24.
Davis Cup tie between Israel and Argentina to be played in ... Sunrise, FloridaStephanie Myles at Busted Racquet8 days ago
South Florida is a long, long way from Israel.
Forced by the International Tennis Federation on rather short notice to seek an alternate, neutral venue to host its World Group playoff tie against Argentina next month, the Israeli Davis Cup team has chosen the unlikely town of Sunrise, Florida.
To be more precise, the Sunrise Tennis Club, which is a public facility. The Davis Cup committee approved the choice after visiting the site. The alternative for the Israelis would have been to travel all the day down to Argentina to contest the tie on their opponents' home turf.
The tie will take place Sept. 12-14, right after the U.S. Open.
American Jack Sock poised to make tennis history (updated)Stephanie Myles at Busted Racquet8 days ago
Jack Sock and Canadian partner Vasek Pospisil had a dream debut as a doubles duo when they won the Wimbledon crown in their first tournament together last month.
Friday in Cincinnati, they're posed to break a record that has stood for at least 30 years.
If Pospisil and Sock defeat No. 2 seeds Alexander Peya of Austria and Bruno Soares of Brazil in the Cincinnati quarter-finals, it will be their 13th consecutive victory. According to the ATP, that would surpass a 12-match debut run by the team of Paul Annacone of the U.S. and Christo van Rensburg of South Africa, who kicked off their partnership by winning 12 straight matches.
The ATP Tour records go back 30 years; no team has done better.
Annacone and van Rensburg won the Sydney tournament on grass in December 1984 (yes, they had tournaments in December back then; the Australian Open was played in November), then the 1985 Lipton championship in Delray Beach (which is now the Sony Open in Miami). They lost in the quarter-finals of an ATP event in Houston.

Thugs attack woman with lump of wood
4:11pm Monday 14th January 2013 in News
A WOMAN was attacked from behind with a piece of wood during an attempted robbery.
Police are appealing for information following the assault and attempted robbery in St Peter's Street, Colchester at 7.45pm on Saturday.
A man approached the victim and asked to borrow a cigarette lighter outside Charles House.
When she stopped she was attacked from behind by a man armed with a lump of wood.
She was knocked to the ground before the two men tried to rob her.
The woman had fallen onto her bag and they demanded she handed it over but she fought back before the men ran off along St Peter's Street towards Castle Park and the Dutch Quarter.
The first suspect is white, aged about 17 or 18-years-old and was wearing a dark blue hooded top.
He is about 5ft 9ins tall and thin.
The second suspect, who struck her with the wood, had darker skin and is aged between 17 and 20-years-old.
He had a slight build and was dressed all in black.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "The victim was left very shaken, with minor injuries including bruising which she has had checked out at her doctors surgery."
Police are hoping to speak to one witness, a man, who was spotted in the area shortly after, or anyone else who witnessed the unprovoked attack.
Anyone with information call Det Con Tim Harris at Colchester police station on 101.

Will happily fight tooth and nail to avoid there being any kind of network of volunteers trying to enforce the law though, for various reasons. What we actually need is less financial cuts in the police budgets to get more trained officers on the streets. The law is pretty complex as it is, the last thing we need is a bunch of self-proclaimed enforcers laying down their interpretation of it.

You may always be right but is there any any need for insults? You sound quite female.
Cops do beat people up sometimes, it´s true. Was on the receiving end myself when younger. But it doesn´t make it any less bad that 2 men attack a lone girl. I would hope their friends will do the same to them when they find out: that might have more impact than being caught by the police.

Construction workers digging a sewer line in Paterson, N.J. spotted a 10-foot-long Burmese python in the grass.
It happened behind a Burger King on Tuesday morning.
Paterson Animal Control officer Angel Rivera tells The Record newspaper the snake was probably a pet that the owner didn't want to take care of anymore.
Animal control turned the snake over to a retired biology teacher who operates a program for wayward pets. Gerald Zelenka of Clifton says it appears the snake will soon begin to shed its skin.

Editor's Note:
Welcome to our weekly exercise in variety. You've seen these before – a columnist puts down thoughts on a couple of various sports topics or items that roughly have something to do with sports. This is our version.
Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
Chuck Muncie will certainly go down as one of the best running backs in New Orleans Saints history.
He died this week at 60 from a heart attack and it's a testament to what he did in his short time in New Orleans that so many people took to Twitter to wax poetic about what he meant to the Saints.
He ran for nearly 3,400 yards in four seasons, scoring 28 touchdowns in those years with New Orleans. And in nine years in the NFL, he finished with more than 6,700 yards rushing and 74 total touchdowns, including a 19-touchdown 1981.
His career derailed, however, when he was suspended for the 1984 season after he tested positive for cocaine. He never recovered and, in 1989, found his way into prison for selling cocaine.
But the Muncie story isn't about football. It's about redemption and it's about helping people escape the path he went down in time for saving their lives.
In fact, it's a story from which some in the NFL – and all sports – could learn (read: Young, Titus and his three arrests in a week).
And what is it that they can learn?
Muncie turned his life around. After being released from prison, he spent the rest of his life helping youngsters who were disadvantaged, those most likely to follow the path that failed him.
He eventually started a foundation to help him with that task.
We spend too much time as a society lifting athletes to levels that maybe they shouldn't be at.
Muncie understood this.
But he also understood something else – that without his story, he would have had a much more difficult time affecting children. Muncie turned a negative into a positive, showing those who needed it most that it's never too late to turn things around.
So while people will undoubtedly remember what Muncie did on the field and what he could have been, we shouldn't forget what he did off of it and what he was to many.
And what he did off of it was every bit as impressive as what he did on it.
Racism rears its ugly head in Italian soccer
It's likely not going to be news that soccer fans in Europe march to a different beat. What they get away with would, and shouldn't be, tolerated.
This past weekend, rampant racism halted a match between AC Milan and AS Roma when Roma fans abused Milan's Mario Balotelli.
Fans threw insults his way near the end of the first half. Unfortunately, there's already a set of rules governing a routine that must be followed when this happens in Italy because this sort of thing happens often enough.
The match is stopped, an announcement is made condemning the racist chants and, should it continue, the match would be stopped for good.
It shouldn't come to that. Racism should never be tolerated, let alone at a sporting event.
Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is onto something when he says matches should be suspended immediately.
Already, Roma was fined $65,000.
The solution should go further.
Soccer standings are unlike those in traditional American sports. Wins and ties earn points while losses do not. The big money in European soccer has to do with finishing near the top of the table, qualifying the teams for major continental tournaments.
So beyond fining teams, dock them points. Dock them a ton of points. Knocking them out of the Champions League or Europa League or worse, into the relegation zone, would speak volumes and force clubs into stronger vigilance.
And when that fails, keep fans out of matches. They already do that when violence occurs. Racism should be treated no differently.
In fact, it is violence in its own right.
Unlike many in this country who hate soccer, I enjoy it. But this is one area where I agree with even the most ardent of those who dislike the sport.
NBA owners stand tall, won't be strong-armed
After years of uncertainty, the Sacramento Kings are … staying in Sacramento.
Chalk that up as a win for every New Orleans, Memphis, Charlotte, etc., etc., etc., in the league. That is, every small market franchise.
The situation is an awkward one for the league. The Maloofs basically held hostage the league and two cities.
They got equal bids for the franchise they wanted to sell and being that Sacramento always has supported the Kings through thick and thin, you'd think the Maloofs would be all right keeping the team there.
But they were more interested in moving basketball back to Seattle, which lost its franchise to Oklahoma City in the past decade.
The league's owners balked, voting 22-8 against relocation this week.
So now, in this free-market society, rich men will be kept from selling a franchise to other rich men by rich people. You still following?
Regardless of who is keeping whom from selling what, I'd like to think a Sacramento win is a good thing for all. The city supports and has supported the team. Kevin Johnson, the mayor and a former a NBA player, put together a quality bid that matched that of the group who wanted to move the team.
The only reason to move the team at this point would be out of spite from the Maloofs and being that they're selling the franchise, that shouldn't matter.
In other words, it's probably a good thing they're getting out of the NBA.
Tiger under more scrutiny than he deserves
This past weekend, Tiger Woods once again was at the center of a ball drop controversy.
And the question immediately popped into my mind wondering if we've hit a point where Woods is receiving more scrutiny than anyone else on tour.
Sure, when you've got the skill that he does and when you're life has been as public as his has, the spotlight shines brighter and the magnification on the microscope is greater.
But are we holding him to a different level than anybody else on tour and, if so, is that fair?
It strikes me as odd that now that his personal life has become what it has, he suddenly isn't taking proper drops, that he suddenly is cheating the game.
Woods likely hasn't changed how he approaches the game from a rules standpoint. Only our vision of who he is has changed.
At what point do we stop holding him to a different standard because of it?

Detox diets promise to rid your body of toxins, excess calories and even help you shed pounds.
But do we really need to put our bodies through a detox?
For 30 days, Wordna Warren Pritchett and Trish Peva turned their diets upside down, eliminating all processed foods along with most animal products and fats.
They say it was a part of a detox diet.
"I wanted to make sure that in addition to eating healthier, I was getting that bad stuff out of my system," says Pritchett.
The women found the diet plan at a whole foods market.
The store's healthy eating specialist, Elizabeth Johnson, encourages participants to start by eliminating refined sugars and flours, dairy, oils and limit meat intake to about three ounces a week.
"Clearing out the system, giving the body a chance to reset, recalibrate, kind of come back to center," says Johnson.
Pritchett and Peva say they're both feeling lighter and more energized, but nutrition experts warn that other types of detox diets, especially those strictly liquid, could leave you feeling quite the opposite.
Registered Dietician, Joy Dubost says highly restrictive detox diets could lead to low blood sugar.
"You man even have heart palpitations because you're affecting the electrolyte balance in your body," says Dubost. "Some folks feel just not too happy and irritable because they're not eating."
Dubost says the liver and kidneys help the body detox naturally and there's no physiological need to do it on your own, but Johnson says that doesn't account for people who already have poor nutrition and don't get enough sleep.
"I think that would be true if we were in an ideal environment where we're eating what we need to be eating," says Johnson. "We do need to give our bodies a rest and break to help facilitate that detoxifying process by giving ourselves some great healthy foods."

Keep "The Game" At The End Of The Season
Mr. Brandon, We, the students, alumni and fans of the University of Michigan Wolverines, ask you to reconsider your position that Michigan and Ohio State be in separate divisions. Doing so would take away from what we (and many in the sports community) believe is the greatest rivalry in sports. Michigan and Ohio State should face off once per season - on the last week of regular season play. Any other formulation of The Game is simply unacceptable. Mr. Brandon, please reconsider your position.

Moist, dense and delicious, try this unusual melt-in-your mouth cake.
June 13, 2011
This old fashioned cake is moist, dense and delicious. The pork and beans (yes! pork and beans!) gives this cake a texture that is really melt-in-your-mouth. And the great news is that it's even better the next day or two after baking it.
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 - 8oz. can crushed pineapple (drained or undrained)
1 - 15oz. can pork and beans (drained and mashed)
2 cup flour
2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped nuts
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 - 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 - stick butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift all dry ingredients together.
Mix eggs and oil into dry ingredients. Add beans, pineapple and nuts. Mix well. Pour into greased and floured 10" tube pan.
Bake at 350° for 45-60 (I bake closer to 60). Cool completely before frosting or sprinkling with powdered sugar.
While cooling make the frosting. Mix together cream cheese, butter and sugar.
Add vanilla. Mix well and spread on cake.
If you chose to leave pineapple undrained you will bake your cake closer to 60 minutes. If you drain the pineapple it will take closer to 45 minutes. Also, always remember to bake a bundt cake on the lower rack of the oven.

Georgia Tech went into the half down 17-10 but with hopes that they could keep the game competitive. Georgia has spent the entire third quarter killing that dream. The Dogs dropped 14 points on the Jackets in that frame to take control of the game with a 31-10 lead.
Georgia picked Tevin Washington twice -- with one of them setting up a touchdown -- while Aaron Murray threw his third and fourth touchdowns on the game, one to Tavarres King and one to Aron White. Overall, he's 18-of-26 for 236 yards and an interception along with the scoring strikes.
Tech's triple-option attack, meanwhile, has generated 203 yards on the day, which would be good for most teams but isn't quite what the Jackets are used to; they're on a pace short of their average on the ground for the year.

By The Associated Press
A state lawmaker who co-sponsored a bill that could have gotten police officers fired for cursing or using racial slurs while interacting with the public has withdrawn his support of the proposal.
State Rep. Paul Heroux now says he made a mistake in supporting the bill and won't vote for it if it makes it out of committee, which he says is unlikely.
The Attleboro Democrat says he received calls and emails critical of the bill following media reports last week.
The presidents of two major police chiefs organizations in the state came out against the measure.
Police chiefs say most departments already have rules that would preclude an officer from using offensive language under conduct unbecoming an officer policies.

Valdosta Police are trying to figure who fired gunshots into a woman's home and car early on New Year's Day.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. But it's clear this was no New Year's Eve celebration.
Investigators say this home was targeted.
"There's a bullet hole there, there's one, and this is a ricochet," said Tammy Thomas, as she pointed out the bullet holes in her home.
Thomas says she hid for cover in her own home shortly after midnight New Years Day when she heard multiple shots hit her house.
"It was very scary, very scary; when I went to the window and I saw his silhouette, it's like my body went limp and that's what made me just fall to the floor."
Thomas says she and her roommate were trying to have a quiet night in at their Webster Street home. They heard people celebrating with gunfire in the neighborhood, then heard shots a little too close for comfort.
"I went and ran and turned out all of the lights in the house and when I turned on the back porch light, by the time I got back to the window to look out and see if he was still there, he was gone," said Thomas.
And her roommates car is out of commission after one bullet hit the break line and another bullet hit the radiator.
Valdosta Police say one thing is obvious, these weren't celebratory shots ringing in the New Year.
"Usually when people do that, they try and fire up in the air, it's kind of unusual for multiple shots to hit one vehicle in particular. It appears that it could have been intentional," said Lt. Aaron Kirk, Valdosta Police Department.
Investigators say they are interviewing some persons of interest, but so far have made no arrests.

Police seek culprits after laser is beamed at plane
Updated 9:47am Tuesday 25th March 2014 in News By Gema Bate
POLICE have appealed for information after a pilot was targeted by someone pointing a laser pen at an aircraft.
The plane was flying into Birmingham International Airport when it was targeted by a green laser pen while flying near Malvern.
Air traffic controllers at Swanwick, in Hampshire, contacted West Mercia Police at 7.45pm on Saturday, March 22, to report a green laser had been pointed three times at an Air Hamburg flight cruising at 17,000ft, about three miles up, as it descended into Birmingham.
They believed the source of the laser was somewhere in the Malvern area at 7.30pm the same night.
Police are asking for anyone with information to contact them.
They have warned that even though the light from the pen seems to stop because it is no longer scattered into the user's eyes, it can continue and reach aircraft, putting pilots and the cargo, or passengers, at risk.
The beam can distract pilots, can appear inches bigger than it does from its origin, can be seen more than 12 miles away, and can be mistaken for the aim on a weapon.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said: "Shining a laser at an aircraft in flight is a serious risk to its safety.
"Helicopters are particularly vulnerable as they have a solo pilot, fly low and have a large curved plexiglass windscreen that refracts the laser beam and floods the cockpit with light.
"Being dazzled and temporarily blinded by an intense light could potentially lead to the pilot losing control of the aircraft.
"Pointing a laser at an aircraft is now a specific criminal offence and the police are becoming very good at catching the perpetrators.
"We strongly urge anyone who observes a laser being used at night in the vicinity of an airport to contact the police immediately."
Figures show there were 1,570 laser attacks on aircraft in the UK in 2012, and 1,911 incidents in 2011.
Hotspots for the incidents were in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford and Heathrow airports.
There were also 216 attacks on UK passenger aircraft at foreign airports in 2012.
Laser pens are often used during presentations and are battery-powered. They can be bought online for as little as £8.
Anyone caught shining a device at an aircraft could face charges of endangering an aircraft, punishable by up to five years in prison.
Anyone with information, or who may have seen a green laser pointer being used in the area, is asked to contact the police on the non-emergency number, 101, and ask for police in Malvern, quoting reference number 589S 220314.

I only hope that when these people who part-take in this mindless past-time are caught that the judge multiplies the maximum number of year by the number of passengers and crew that are on board.
While I am not a regular airline passenger reading article like this makes my anger reach boiling point. Those discovered by the authorities should be categorised as being mentally unstable, and if a danger to the public should be locked away for life without any possibility of remission for good behaviour.
Irresponsible behaviour should not be tolerated no matter where it comes from.
Let us not listen to those silly meaningless excuses they come from a broken home
Several acquaintances of mine have come from broken homes. Yet they have turned out to be respectable members of the community, and would never consider doing anything this mindless.

Sir, your comments are somewhat like the exaggerations of the 1950s schoolboys, bragging about their various conquests with girls from their class. Like theirs, your imaginations appear to border on the ridiculous.
I am prepared to wager, that you have never owned or rode a motorcycle of anything resembling a 650 triumph Bonneville. In addition, the only mistress you will have ever known and possibly still do is you're "Headmistress".

The event truck carries a mounted Barco LED unit is known as Go Big™ 1. GoVision offers the truck for special events such as concerts, sports, and corporate outings. Go Big made its official debut on Thanksgiving Day, hosting the Dallas-area YMCA Run for Fun, Turkey Trot.
The core piece of GoVision's equipment is a one-of-a-kind, custom-built mobile unit, appropriately dubbed "Go Big™1," equipped with a 9' x 16' LED screen, a Barco DLite 10 LED wall is mounted on the truck, with the ability to raise up to 15' in the air and rotate 360 degrees for maximum flexibility in viewing. Additionally, the screen can display video while the truck is mobile, a completely unique feature. The screen is built in 18-inch square tiles, and can be removed from the truck and configured for various displays and staging.
The mobile unit features a complete on-board generator and control room that contains switching, editing, and playback equipment, as well as a live camera package, which enables turnkey production work anywhere, any time. GoVision already plans to add a Go Big 2 to its fleet by early 2003. GoVision also provides screens off the truck variable in size from 9' x 9' up to 45' x 75'.
