Public Asked to Provide Information About the Meteor
MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – NASA and the SETI Institute are asking the public for more information to help find amateur photos and video footage of the Sunday, April 22, 2012 meteor shower that illuminated the sky over the Sierra Nevada mountains.
NASA and SETI Institute scientists are seeking the photos and video footage to better analyze the trajectory of the meteorite and learn about its orbit in space.
NASA Ames and SETI Institute meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens found a four-gram fragment of the meteor in a parking lot of Henningsen-Lotus Park, in Lotus, Calif., located on the American River not far from Sutter's Mill.
"This appears to be a rare CM-type chondrite, a primitive meteorite rich in organic compounds," Jenniskens said.
Persons who have photos or video of the meteorite are asked to contact Jenniskens at email@example.com. Media interested in interviewing Jenniskens and viewing the fragment are asked to contact Karen Randall of the SETI Institute at 650-575-2229.

Arizona State wrestling's Blake Stauffer will represent the Sun Devils in Oklahoma City during next week's 2014 NCAA Wrestling Championships, March 20-22, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Tickets for the wrestling championships are available through NCAA.com.
Stauffer (20-8, 12-1 duals) will take on the No. 9 seed, Michigan's Domenic Abounader (15-9, 5-6 duals) in the Thursday morning session. Next, Stauffer will see either No. 8 Timothy Dudley of Nebraska or Davidson's Donald Patrick.
This year, the Neosho, Mo., native went undefeated in the Pac-12 slate, and rounded out the dual schedule by winning 10 of his last 12 matches. Eight of his last 10 wins have come in the form of either a major decision or a tech fall.
Last season, Stauffer qualified for the championships at 174 pounds.

Children's preschool worship is an hour specifically designed to encourage children to build relationships with others their age, participate in a time of song/praise, and be presented with age-appropriate biblical lessons.
Preschoolers are moved to the large group worship room by their adult coach for Clubhouse Chapel. After worship is complete, children are escorted back to their original classroom and become involved in a time of planned follow-up and discussion of the Chapel lesson.
We encourage parents to get involved with what your child is studying and to make applications throughout the week. We offer several resources to assist you.

Are Seahawks likely to earn home-field advantage?
The Seahawks are a good bet to earn the home-field advantage during the NFL playoffs. That's good news for the Seahawks, who have won 14 straight at CenturyLink Field.
Seattle Times staff report
Did last week's loss to the 49ers in San Francisco give you more questions about where this Seahawks' season is headed?
Well then, you've come to right place. You've got questions, we've got answers:
Q: How strong are the chances that Seattle still gets the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the home-field advantage through the playoffs?
A: About as strong as the discounts you can suddenly get on "Bark for Sark'' T-shirts. Seattle can wrap up home field with a win this week at New York and a loss or tie by the 49ers at Tampa Bay and a loss by New Orleans at St. Louis. But setting aside what other teams do, Seattle also merely needs to win two of its last three games to get home field. And with home games left against Arizona and St. Louis the following two weeks, the Seahawks still look about as good as Robinson Cano in a Mariner uniform.
Q: How important is home-field advantage in the playoffs, anyway?
A: Maybe not as much as is sometimes thought. As The Denver Post recently detailed, the past eight Super Bowl winners had an average seed of 3.9 (one the highest, six the lowest). The 2005 Steelers (sorry to bring that up) and 2010 Packers each won as six seeds, meaning they won three road games just to get to the Super Bowl, while the 2007 Giants won as a five seed.
The Seahawks, though, have what many regard as the biggest home-field advantage in the NFL, having won 14 in a row at home.
Put another way, PreGame.com detailed this week that since 2005, Seattle is 51-23-1 (69 percent) against the spread at home — and that's with the point spreads usually factoring in a significant home-field edge for the Seahawks.
About the best way to have made money in Las Vegas the past eight years is to simply bet on the Seahawks at home.
Q: Aren't losses late in the season rather worrisome, though?
A: Historically, no. As NFL.com pointed out this week, each of the past five Super Bowl champions lost at least one of their last three regular-season games. That includes last year's Ravens going 1-4 in their last five and the 2009 Saints losing their last three after a 13-0 start. Not to mention the 2011 Giants going 3-5 in their last eight to barely sneak into the playoffs at 9-7.
The value of momentum heading into the playoffs, it seems, is about as big of a myth as the Pac-12 Networks for anyone who has DirecTV.
Q: Which team would be the most likely first playoff opponent for the Seahawks, anyway?
A: First, a refresher on how the NFL playoff system works. For the opening round, the top two seeds get a bye. The third seed hosts No. 6 and No. 4 hosts No. 5. Then the teams are reseeded, so that the lowest remaining seed plays at the No. 1 seed, and the other winner at the No. 2 seed.
As of today, that means the Seahawks would host either the Detroit Lions (No. 4), Carolina Panthers (No. 5) or San Francisco 49ers (No. 6).
Since the 49ers will most likely be either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed if they make the playoffs that means it's much more likely the Seahawks would play them in the divisional round than the NFC title game.
For anyone who believes that it's more difficult for a team to beat another three times in a season, then maybe there's another silver lining from last week's loss.
Q: Have the Seahawks ever had to do that before?
A: Yes they have, and it didn't go so well. Seattle got the first playoff berth in franchise history in 1983 in large part thanks to two regular-season wins against the Raiders.
But after the famous upset win at Miami to get to the AFC title game, the Seahawks were blasted by the Raiders in Los Angeles, 30-14.
Seattle, though, also lost the only time it played a team in the playoffs it had already lost to twice, in 2004, when the Rams came to CenturyLink and beat the Seahawks 27-20 in the wild-card round.
History is more favorable to Seattle in years it played playoff games against teams which it split in the regular season. In 1983, Seattle beat Denver at home, 31-17, and in 1984 it beat the Raiders, 13-7.

there is a spa(sauna) in this building and it can be rented by somebody late at night (e.g. from 2 to 5 am) and this man can turn on the stereo system on maximum volume so its hard to sleep. and staff could not do with this anything.
Rooms inside are OK and tidy.
Very tough to locate the hotel, no sign, no description, nothing. No restaurant inside. Breakfast served in near by bistro - poor quality only 8-9am. Hideous neighborhood.

Albuquerque Sights
American International Rattlesnake Museum
American International Rattlesnake Museum Review
Included in the largest collection of different species of living rattlers in the world are such rare and unusual specimens as an albino western diamondback. From the outside the museum looks for all the world like a plain old shop, but inside, the museum's exhibits, its engaging staff, and a video supply visitors with the lowdown on these venomous creatures—for instance, that they can't hear their own rattles and that the human death rate from rattlesnake bites is less than 1%. The mission here is to educate the public on the many positive benefits of rattlesnakes, and to contribute to their conservation.

Hi: 19° Lo:11°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 10 January 2013 Updated: 10/01 16:38
BROMSGROVE Tennis Club's Men's C team were in good form on the resumption of the league season as they overcame Ombersley A 3-1.
Jeth Tomlinson and Alex Willis teamed up to win both of their matches, firstly against Dieppe and Griffiths in three sets before defeating Barwell and Taylor in two sets.
The second pair of McGregor and Errington lost a close three-set match to Barwell and Taylor before having an easy win against Dieppe and Griffiths.
A lot now hinges on the final two games of the season with promotion remaining a possibility for the team.
THE C and D team teamed up to take on Cutnall Green in a hard fought friendly that saw five of the six rubbers decided by Championship tie-breaks.
Cutnall Green just shaded them to run out 4-2 winners overall but Bromsgrove performed well throughout and will have taken a number of positives from the competitive contest.
For Bromsgrove, McGregor and Niedzwiedz beat Taylor and Stanley whilst Tomlinson and Errington beat Moore and Russell.

I've been away at a stag do this weekend. Up in the Lake District (Prague is just so last decade darhling!)
Anyway as you can imagine if you get a load of lads, beer and a World Cup together one topic of discussion is inevitable… The beautiful game (or in England's case the hideous one). Not one of the 15 of us thought we had a cat in Hell's chance against Germany. I detect that a lot of people despite (or because) of the mass hysteria drummed-up by the media had developed a sort of ennui before the first ball was even kicked. I have quite passionately cheered England on every time until this one. I was just sick to the back teeth of everything in the shops and all the adverts on TV having my nation's flag upon it. The most egregious by far was the "If Carlsberg did team talks…" Yeah, I thought, "… they'd be in Danish".
Anyway, yesterday, we sat in vague disinterest in the pub watching the inevitable calamity. It was quite weird. Lads on a stag do, beer flowing freely and England vs. Germany in the World Cup: you'd expect some level of rambuctiousness. Admittedly we'd chosen a quiet pub rather than the first one we came to which had some twat in a tommy hat "playing" the vuvuzela (just one of those makes an unconscionable racket – I can't imagine 60,000 going – I hope those stadia are sturdy so we don't have a "Walls of Jericho incident") and another that was blaring out the "Dambusters March" with the amp turned to 11 (it's one louder). When Germany scored their first one of the lads turned to me and said, "Right off home now!" with a wry grin. I guess what I'm saying is that for a lot of us the staggering mediocrity of England for so long coupled with the ludicrous hype of the, "This time for sure" variety has propelled the whole dismal spectacle past tragedy and into the realm of farce. I think it's significant that I haven't heard the song, "Three Lions" anywhere. Perhaps, "44 years of hurt doesn't scan" or perhaps too many of us are just sick of it all.
Of course there is another reason as well that I'm losing the will to support England at football. I can sum it up with the headline of today's Daily Fail. It quoted their resident gobshite, Richard Littlecock along the lines of, "If the Few had fought so badly in 1940 we'd all be speaking German now". Please put a cork in it Dickie me old china for that has by now grown a long grey beard. I find the inevitability of the comparison of England v Germany games to WWII ridiculous, embarrassing, childish and offensive. The idea that we can gain some sort of revenge for the bombing of Coventry by winning a football match against a team many of who's grandparents weren't born at the time is farcical and self-defeating. Sport is not war and it is wrong to treat it as such. There is a George Orwell essay that argues that case so I'm good company. Pinning our entire national self-image upon "sad far-off things and battles long ago" is stupid, dangerous and I'm sure in some sense is part of the reason for England's chronically "woeful", to quote Alan Hansen, football.
I guess I might as well say something about the game… I'll leave that to two people who were there commentating except to chip in that this is the worst England team I have seen since the dark days of Graham "Do I not like that" Taylor. Remember when he took Lineker of in his last match for England to replace him with that oaf Carlton Palmer. Recall the epic midfield triumvirate of Batty, Platty and Fatty?
England need a miracle now
-Mark Lawrenson
That is not in itself amusing but that was uttered just before Emile Heskey was thrown into the rout… Now Emile Heskey may be many things but he is certainly not "a miracle". Emile Heskey is not so much a footballer as a pratfaller – he's good at that – should have been a vaudevillian. Anyway, by that point we could have fielded ten cloned Peles and a Gordon Banks between the sticks and half the German team could have had an impromptu BBQ in the centre circle and we would still have lost.
Normally I find Alan Hansen's dour Scottish Private Fraserishness, "Woeful defending, no one was tracking back… And look how they were leaving the striker literally* acres of space…" grating** but his tone suited this one and his final comment is a peach…
"England were abysmal against Algeria but today they were four levels worse".
"Four levels below abysmal" – I'm having that Mr Hansen! That is almost Shakespearean in a kind of "full fathom five" way. Hansen's final comment really sums up this England team. They just look slow (especially Rooney who appeared to have developed too much a taste for biltong whilst in South Africa), lack any attacking flair and the least said about the fair impression of Fred Karno's circus that constitutes the defence the soonest mended. David James looked like he wanted to lamp those two end of the pier comedians Upson & Terry and he had a fair point. When James wasn't picking the ball out of the onion bag he was shrieking at that pair of clowns. Has John Terry also shagged Matthew Upson's missus? That might explain why they had a complete lack of co-ordination. The whole team was a shambles and they played with a devastating lack of spirit or commitment all through the tournament.
The one game we won (against the mighty footballing powerhouse that is Slovenia) was a grim one-nil. On paper that's a good result… for Slovenia. I just found out that one of the Slovenians was only in South Africa because he took unpaid leave from his day job as a bank clerk… If our multi-millionaire "stars" can only get one-nil against a team that includes amateurs then bugger them quite Lampard(ly), Frank(ly)! Anyway, good on the Slovenian lad! That's the sort of spirit we need! I hope he had a really good time and I bet he did. You can't imagine the likes of Rooney, Defoe or the Coles doing that can you?
Anyway, just after the game I was on the train back to Manchester and there was a group of Scottish lads and none of them cared that England had been humiliated. Now that speaks volumes. I guess they too regarded it as inevitable. Even back in Manchester (where I changed trains for a local service to get my weary bones home) where there were loads of guys in England shirts milling around Piccadilly station who looked sort of, "Yeah, right, whatever…" It's as though so many people can no longer summon any passion over a team that clearly lacks any passion whatsoever. Would it be cynical of me to suggest that going out now is a feature and not a bug for many of the players who shall now have longer to lounge on the beach some where astronically expensive with their concubines?
The fact I'm evven thinking that is reflective of the enormous national Gallic shrug our exit has provoked in (I suspect) a majority of the populace. Gallic shrug – yeah, the French didn't exactly cover themselves in glory either. Quite the mot juste n'cest-ce pas?
*Football pundits have a completely different understanding of that word from the one the OED presents. Example from the '98 World Cup (spoken of a USA midfielder – "He has literally no left foot, well obviously not literally but he has no left foot…". That's my runner up to the truly surreal image conjured by this utter gem from the same tournament, "Jaap Stam looks like Steve Bould… On skates!".
**Can you imagine the pillow talk after Mr and Mrs Hansen have had sex? He'd be drawing diagrams on a video replay and pointing out where Mrs Hansen had gone wrong, "Woeful foreplay, you just weren't tracking back…". Or him directing MacBeth, "Woeful swordplay, where was your defence"?
PS, "Award for best Newspaper Headline" goes to the Mirror for the magnificent "Rout of Africa". The Sun only managed the dismal "Fritz All Over"
PPS. Because I was away I didn't see the Dr Who season finale. Any discussion here of it in any form whatsoever (it's repeated on Friday) will get you cast into The Howling. I mean it. This is very important to me. More important than the "Eleven Disinterested Jerks – South Africa 2010 tour (later dates cancelled)". This is the TV highlight of my year. Not that it's up against much competition mind…

A friend just sent me this e-mail, which I think is a lesson to us all if, at any point over the next few days, we are having a bad Christmas!
It certainly seems to echo what Make Poverty History and Live 8 are all about!:
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100

>70 would be unable to read

>1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
>1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education

It is interesting that one of the stated reasons is that a private company can take the time to do things right whereas a publicly traded company has to deliver every quarter.

Presumably the advantages are to allow time for prolonged radical restructuring and repositioning without public scrutiny and remove the threat of a hostile takeover bid.

Dell was a publically listed company owned by its shareholders. Michael Dell(with the aid of investors)is buying the company back from the shareholders so it becomes a private company again. This is how it was 25 years ago before Dell was floated on the stock market.

Nats Edge Rattlers In Another Walk-Off, Streak At TenFriday, August 22nd, 2014
Denard Span scored on a throwing error from Arizona D'Back's third baseman Jordan Pacheco in the bottom of the 9th inning, as Washington authored another dramatic walk-off win, 1-0 on Thursday evening. It was the Nationals tenth win in a row.
The Nationals were unable to push across a run against Arizona pitching the entire game, with Washington starter Gio Gonzalez also effective against Arizona's bats. Arizona starter Wade Miley scattered eight Nationals hits, while Gonzalez threw seven complete while holding the D'Backs to a measly four hits. Gonzalez walked three.
The Nationals were victorious despite going 0-13 with runners in scoring position, and squandering numerous opportunities to score. Span, Bryce Harper and Wilson Ramos each had two hits for the Nats, but Adam LaRoche grounded into two double plays, while Danny Espinosa grounded into one.
The Gonzalez start reversed a series of bad outings for the Washington lefty, who was pleased with his performance. "It was fun just being a part of something that is going on," Gonzalez said. "We had such great pitching lately. Our bullpen has been fantastic. Again, Nats win on a walk off. I just wanted try to blend in with the rest of the rotation, try not to stick out like a sore thumb."
The victory on Thursday was Washington's fifth walk-off win in the last six games; the last team to do that were the 1986 Houston Astros. The normally phlegmatic Matt Williams remained so after the dramatic win, insisting that the Nationals had to keep playing game-to-game, with the same effort.
"I've experienced a lot in my time in baseball, certainly not as much as other folks," Williams said after the victory. "But I understand appreciating what you have and working hard to get what you want. That's important to me and it's important to those guys, so that's how we approach it.
Washington's ninth inning dramatics began with a Scott Hairston (hitting for Rafael Soriano) out on a fly ball, bringing Span to the plate. The fleet Nats center fielder singled for his second hit of the game then, with Anthony Rendon at the plate, stole second on southpaw reliever Oliver Perez. Span would later call it "the most important steal of my career."
It was then that Arizona's Pecheco committed his fatal error. Rendon hit the ball down the third base line and Pecheco threw the ball to first, but the ball bounced past first baseman Mark Trumbo and into the first base camera well. The umpires awarded Span home plate. Pacheco late said that he simply didn't have a good grip on the ball.
The Nationals have now swept, in succession, the Mets, Pirates and Diamondbacks. Rafael Soriano came away with the win for the Nats. "We just feel confident that somehow, some way we're going to find a way to inch off a victory," Span said of his team's win, but skipper Williams had a different take. "It's not how you plan it," he said.

HARLAN, Ky. (WATE) - The examination of remains found Monday in the Blair community led Kentucky State Police to open a murder investigation.
The state medical examiner's office identified the victim as James Feltner. His age and hometown were not released.
State police did not release any details about Feltner's cause of death, but they say his remains were found in an abandoned strip mine.
Investigators are seeking information about a rifle that may be involved in Feltner's murder. It's an AR-15 type black rifle with a stainless steel barrel. It may be somewhere in the Cumberland area, according to the state police.
Investigators believe the rifle was likely sold, traded or disposed of after July 15.
Anyone with information about Feltner's death should call Kentucky State Police Post 10 Harlan at 606-573-3131.

Cosmos: And, Pornographia: Two Novelsby Witold Gombrowicz
Synopses & Reviews
Here are two major works by the famed Polish novelist and dramatist Witold Gombrowicz. The first, Cosmos, a metaphysical thriller, revolves around an absurd investigation. It is set in provincial Poland and narrated by a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns, and whose voice is dense with the richly palpable description that characterizes Gombrowicz's writing. The second, Pornografia, explores the sinister effect the young can have on the old. To serve their own secret eroticism, two aging intellectuals encourage a young couple to commit murder. Although the adolescents are the weapons used to commit the crime, the four become conspirators before the deed is done.

That was fun.
Or Molly!
Michael they could use more subway break dancers.
When you live in your parents' basement you have a lot of free time on your hands.
The only person shooting video right was a guy with an Android. Look at all those stupid apple idiots shooting vertical videos. Typical.
why do people do garbage like this?
The entertainment in NYC is getting pretty lame.
first flashmob i dislike
Crap, as nobody will even have a clue as to what it is. The people recording thought they were recording escaped mental patients..
Gay.....totally not doing it right. The pig pen dude was all wrong, and there is no guy in the back doing the running man! GIGGIDY GAY!
can't watch this in America? I thought this was an American made video on an American website, wtf?
doing. lol
They may dance like crap, but they are having fun dong it. :)
girls in pink are hot but they are not doing it right
Sprint must have paid for this. Maybe sprint should invest in their LTE network rather than stupid viral commercials. I would still be with you.
Andddddd I'm pissed
its funny I can't watch a video made in America even though im from kansas... thats as american as it gets
If there are really as many flash dances going on in NYC as the internet perceives, then NYC seems like one really fun place.

Magic to Announce New Erie BayHawks Head Coach Soon
The Orlando Magic are close to announcing the hiring of a head coach for the team's new NBDL single-affiliate, the Erie BayHawks, according to John Dudley of the Erie Times-News. Below is a quote from BayHawks team president Matt Bresee.
"Right now, as I understand it, (the Magic) have a finalist and they're in the process of going though the necessary background checks and other final steps that the NBA requires," Bresee said.
This makes sense because you would hope Erie's coaching staff would be finalized considering BayHawks player tryouts are occurring September 14th and the 21st.
Orlando and Erie are entering their first year of a D-League hybrid agreement in which the Magic organization is making the decisions on who will be part of the coaching staff, what player transactions occur between the Magic and BayHawks, and what type of basketball system will be put in place. Orlando has never had a strong affiliation with the D-League until now and this is an opportunity to develop their talent in whatever manner they choose.
Whoever the Magic name as head coach will be replacing Gene Cross who coached the team starting in 2012. Orlando didn't keep Cross once the New York Knicks transferred over their D-League operations from Erie to Westchester County, New York. The BayHawks were 16-34 last season and have missed the past two playoffs.

Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo has been working out in Bloomington, Indiana this week and taken part in an 'On The Road' tour. That's no surprise considering the Hoosier product frequently returns to his old stomping grounds. Indiana's Head Coach Tom Crean is known for running great offseason programs for players. Along with the Hornets' Cody Zeller though, 'Dipo also worked out with Miami Heat players Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem, Mario Chalmers, former Magic man Josh McRoberts, and Norris Cole. Wade played for Coach Crean at Marquette, McRoberts is an Indiana high school kid, and the other Heat members felt like tagging along.
Victor also gave an interview to Hoosier media chatting about the rigors of the NBA, taking up a leadership role, and how saying how excited he is to play with Orlando's new 3-point shooters. 'Dipo also uses "process".
If the audio is an issue, here's a higher quality video of the interview. It's tough to rekindle an in-state rivalry when you're spending time with your opponent. In all seriousness though, there a lot of similarities in Oladipo's body type and style of play as D-Wade. If Victor can pick the brain of the All-Star and champion, then more power to him. It only benefits Orlando more. Victor is definitely putting in the effort to lead the Magic franchise back to success and should see large playing improvements in his upcoming sophomore campaign.

Orlando Dodged a Joel Embiid Twitter Bullet
The Philadelphia 76ers already have a star on their hands in Joel Embiid. Not a basketball star, but one of the social media variety. The 3rd overall selection from June hasn't stepped on a court in months and he's already the most popular NBA rookie as the 'MVP of Twitter'. Joel has grabbed plenty of attention via his Twitter account. From hitting on a married woman, to making USA soccer fans angry, to recruiting LeBron James then blocking him on Twitter, to having an obsession with Rihanna that would get your average man smacked in the face with a restraining order. But it's good entertainment for fans and basketball media who have a sense of humor towards embarrassing situations. It's hilarious, except for his employer. I can't imagine what the Sixers' public relations folks are feeling every time Joel is sending out a tweet.
It's something that I'm sure the Magic are beyond glad they won't have to deal with. It's been 3 years since Gilbert Arenas went through a vast amount of Twitter shenanigans while a member of the Orlando Magic. It got ugly with 'Agent Zero' and his public backlash until he deleted his Twitter account. Everyone considered Gilbert a hilarious human being including myself. Plus, I once won one of his sneaker giveaway contests. Joel's not at the level that Gilbert's tweeting reached. Not yet anyway. There's no dislike for Embiid on my end. If you have the testicular fortitude to put yourself out there with little worry for tweeting repercussions, good for you. I can appreciate a good Maury joke. Just know that even though you're already financially secure for life, you have to keep the people and the organization you represent somewhere in the back of your mind constantly. You don't have to be that public to get a celebrity to notice you. Plus, it smells of desperation for any and all sorts of attention. read more…
After 39 years of officiating games in the National Basketball Association, Dick Bavetta is finally retiring his whistle. The 74-year-old from Brooklyn, New York is stepping away from his job as probably the most recognizable NBA official in the league's history. Whether that's a positive or negative statement I'll leave that up to you.
Gonna miss Dick Bavetta..an NBA icon and truly nice guy. Hopefully he'll make the short drive from Ocala for some #Magic games.
— David Steele (@steelemagic) August 19, 2014
Bavetta finished with a record 2,635 consecutive regular season games officiated. Bavetta officiated 270 PO games including 27 Finals games.
— John Denton (@JohnDenton555) August 19, 2014
Over my lifetime I have found myself disagreeing with Bavetta's officiating decisions on countless occasions over a wide variety of Magic games. It's rather easy to shout disapproval when the individual's first name you're yelling can easily be used in a cursing manner. But you don't survive a profession for so many years – including a ref scandal – without being good at your job and being admired by your peers. Dick was known as the Cal Ripkin Jr. of refereeing with that 2,635-game officiating streak he held.
I've created a Top 5 list of the best Orlando Magic playoff games that Bavetta officiated. No coincidence, that all of these contests resulted in Orlando victories. Dick's officiated 270 playoff games, these are the ones that matter to Magic fans.
Honorable Mention
May 12, 1996 – Orlando Magic @ Atlanta Hawks
Game 3 Result: Magic Win 103-96
Series: Magic Lead Eastern Conference Semifinals 3-0
After sweeping the Detroit Pistons in the 1st Round, Coach Brian Hill's team took care of business in the first two home games at the O-Rena. The Magic were primed to make another trip to the NBA Finals, and the Hawks weren't about to slow them down in this Game 3 contest at the Omni Coliseum. Brian Shaw was the only Magic bench player to score with 5 points. It wasn't a worry though because each Orlando starter had 15+ points. Shaquille O'Neal led the way with 24 points and 12 rebounds, Anfernee Hardaway notched 21 points and 6 assists, and Horace Grant added 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Atlanta had double-digit contributions from their starters as well. Christian Laettner had 26 points, Grant Long posted 13 & 13, while Mookie Blaylock notched 20 points and 8 assists. The contest was tied entering the 4th quarter as the Magic won the period 21-14. Orlando won the rebounding battle 39-31 and had slightly better shooting percentages. Atlanta would take Game 4 to stay alive in the series, but the Magic would send Atlanta fishing by winning Game 5 in O-Town and punching their ticket to another Eastern Conference Finals.
Below is the Top 5 List.
FanDuel Becomes New Orlando Magic Sponsor
FanDuel, the leader in one-day fantasy sports, has joined the Orlando Magic as a "Champions of the Community (COTC)" sponsor. FanDuel joins Walt Disney World, GEICO, Florida Hospital, PepsiCo, Southwest Airlines, Harris, and Chase as Champions of the Community.
"We are honored to have FanDuel join our family," said Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins. "This is yet another example of an innovative company showing its commitment to the Magic. We believe this sponsorship will be mutually beneficial and will provide the opportunity for FanDuel to deliver a direct, positive and engaging message to our fan base and beyond. Through this new agreement, together we will also seek opportunities for local outreach."
FanDuel specializes in fantasy sports games. It was founded in 2009. FanDuel offers fast game play and cash prizes across both web and mobile devices. FanDuel uses the same format as any other season-long fantasy game, the only difference is games last one day or one week with winnings paid out immediately after a game concludes.
FanDuel will receive prominent exposure at Amway Center, including on-the-court exposure. FanDuel will also sponsor the North Club Bar at the Amway Center, where fans will be able to get up-to-date stats on their favorite players, as well as the Orlando Magic's Mobile App.

Magic Family Participates in ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
By now you have seen numerous people participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge that is spreading ALS Awareness and raising donations across the country. If you don't know what Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is – otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease – below is an explanation from ALSA.org.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
The Ice Bucket Challenge has proven to be phenomenally effective in bringing in funds that go to researching and hopefully one day finding a cure for the disease. There's a wonderful and emotional ESPN piece on the origins of the challenge. It's taken a while for the movement to grow. Now it's spreading like a wildfire thanks to celebrities and professional athletes from across the globe partaking in dousing cold water over their heads. Orlando Magic players have joined in on the cause.
Below you'll see who else from the Magic organization has taken part following Maurice.
The NBA Championship of Florida: Heat v. Magic
Rivalries bring out the passion that makes sports as popular as they are today. Especially regional and local rivalries. Yankees-Red Sox. Barcelona-Real Madrid. Gators-Seminoles. Auburn-Alabama. Giants-Dodgers. Olympiakos-Panathinaikos. UCF-USF. Packers-Bears. Duke-North Carolina. Maple Leafs-Canadiens. Blackhawks-Red Wings. Sounders-Timbers. Seahawks-49ers. Michigan-Ohio State.
Miami versus Orlando. Magic versus Heat. Why is this Sunshine State NBA matchup never in the conversation? There are only these two professional basketball clubs in Florida.
Whenever these two expansion teams face each other, the word 'rivalry' almost never gets used anymore. You can credit a variety of things for this being the case. Free agency and trades. A lack of playoff meetings (only one in 1997). The locker rooms and coaching staffs of both franchises never hyping up a sunshine state clash. Probably the main factor is that the Heat and Magic are still young organizations with developing fan bases.
If you commute via the Florida Turnpike, the two franchises are separated by 234 miles. Only a three or 4-hour drive.
Miami got their NBA franchise in the '88-'89 season while Orlando followed a year later.
Orlando's franchise win-loss record is 1002-1000. Miami's is 1085-999.
The regular season win-loss matchup record is 55-44 in favor of the Heat.
Since the Southeast Division was created in the 2004-2005 season, either the Heat or Magic have won the division crown.
The Heat have had 18 playoff appearances. Orlando has been stuck on 14 for a few years.
Miami has 5 Conference titles. The Magic have two.
The Heat have 11 division titles. Orlando trails with five.
Miami has 3 jerseys retired: Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, and Michael Jordan (which is still strange to me). Orlando has #6 hanging in the rafters in honor of its fans being the Sixth Man.
Obviously the biggest gap between the two teams is Miami's 3 NBA championships to Orlando's zero. It hurts for sure if you live in Central Florida. If it doesn't, then you're either a transplant and/or you don't like basketball.
But what happens when we do a season by season breakdown of the two franchises to see which team is superior?
1988-1989 Season
Heat: 15-67; 6th in Midwest Division; No Playoffs
Magic: N/A
Winner: Heat…by default.
Although if you only manage fifteen victories in an 82-game season, can you REALLY be considered a winner? Orlando already knew it was being given a franchise after all. Kevin Edwards was Miami's leading scorer on the season at 13.8 ppg. That's bad and there is no sugarcoating it. Miami ranked dead last out of 25 NBA teams in points scored per game. Do Heat fans even know who Rory Sparrow was? I will say it's pretty cool that Ron Rothstein is still with the Heat franchise, and here he is as the Head Coach of their inaugural season.
1989-1990 Season
Heat: 18-64; 5th in Atlantic Division; No Playoffs
Magic: 18-64; 7th in Central Division; No Playoffs
Winner: Magic
For starters, it's Orlando's inaugural season. There were only 27 NBA teams – see the wonky division placements – at the time and Miami ranked 24th in both offense and defense. Orlando may have had the worst defense in the league – giving up a gaudy 119.8 ppg – but at least Coach Matt Guokas had his Magic men running on offense which was 5th-best in the Association. The entertainment tiebreaker is obvious here. Terry Catledge and Reggie Theus were doing a lot of scoring in those pinstripes. The Orlando Arena also beat out the Miami Arena in attendance. Rony Seikaly did at least make quite a leap in his sophomore season to lead Miami in scoring.
Below you'll find things get much better for both franchises.
France Falls to Australia as Fournier Scores 9 Points
The French men's senior national basketball team concluded their 3-game exhibition tournament in Antibes, France on Sunday with a 76-74 loss to Australia. Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier finished with 9 points and 3 rebounds on 3-of-6 shooting (1-for-2 on 3-pointers). Just like against Ukraine yesterday, the French paid for keeping Evan on the bench in crunch time when they needed 3-point shooting in 16 minutes of action. Below is Evan's shot chart.
Nicolas Batum led all players with 24 points. Boris Diaw tallied 14 points for France, but committed some horrible errors down the stretch that sealed their fate. Another San Antonio Spur, Aron Baynes led Australia with 21 points. Cleveland Cavalier Matthew Dellavedova notched 10 points and 5 assists. Magic fans will be happy to know that Dante Exum struggled. In 14 minutes, Utah's draft pick only managed 2 points on a bad 1-for-8 shooting.
With Nando De Colo breaking his hand and being ruled unavailable for the FIBA World Cup, Evan is expected to receive more meaningful playing time. Coach Vincent Collet wasn't disappointed tonight as Fournier had seven first half points on 2-of-4 shooting (1-for-2 on 3s) as they led Australia 36-34 at the break in what was a physical exhibition. It needs to continuously be preached that Evan needs many more touches on offense, especially since Evan's been quite sturdy on defense. Fournier even had to play post-up defense against big men like Brock Motum an David Andersen, even fronting properly.
France gets a few days off before hosting one final pre-World Cup exhibition tournament. This time it'll be in the town of Strasbourg. They'll play Finland and Australia (again) between August 22nd and the 24th.

Ukraine Defeats France as Fournier Has Quiet Outing
Day 2 of France's exhibition tournament in Antibes found the French national team losing to Ukraine 63-56 on Saturday. Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier had a relatively quiet outing off the bench. French Coach Vincent Collet decided not to utilize his best 3-point shooter down the stretch and it costed him as guys like Nicolas Batum and Mickael Gelabale clanked 3-pointers late. In 15 minutes of action, Evan only managed 3 points and 1 rebound on 1-of-3 from long distance. The French team as a whole was 6-for-21 from long distance.
France coughed up 16 turnovers and a few of those were just horrible passes sent in Evan's direction after the 21-year-old put himself in prime position to score. Ukraine were led by their diminutive starting point guard, Pooh Jeter, who scored 23 points. It was fun seeing former NBA coach Mike Fratello getting into the leading referee's ear and earning Ukraine some questionable calls down the stretch.
France will finish off their 3-game weekend in Antibes on Sunday as they take on Dante Exum and Australia. We're exactly 2 weeks away from the FIBA World Cup tournament kicking off in Spain.
Adam Papageorgiou is Owner/Editor of MBO and Founder of Orlando Magic Greek
The French men's national basketball team on Friday kicked off another 3-day weekend exhibition tour in preparation for the FIBA World Cup that takes place in two weeks. This time the Blue-White Tour is in the town of Antibes. France struggled from the perimeter but still managed to beat the Philippines 75-68 in the first of three consecutive days of games. France were 2-for-17 from 3-point range while the Philippines were 12-of-29 from deep.
It was the 1st contest played since Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier officially was announced as a member of the 12-man squad that will be heading to Spain. Coach Vincent Collet had Fournier come off the bench as usual. Evan finished with 6 points, 2 rebounds, and a block on 2-for-5 shooting (0-of-2 from long distance) in twelve minutes of action.
All six of those points came in the first half as Evan did an outstanding job of utilizing his quickness and size advantage over the Philippines' small guards to attack the paint at will and convert on his aggressive takes to the rim. Fournier displayed a wide variety of off-ball cuts and dribble drives. You forget the 21-year-old is 6′ 7″ when he moves so fast. He just needs more touches. Surprisingly, Evan's biggest problem on the court currently is that he just cannot drain a 3-pointer when he's left wide open. Both missed attempts he didn't have anyone within a few yards of him. Hand in Evan's face, no problem. Fifteen feet of space to take your time and release, nope.
San Antonio Spur Boris Diaw saw his first court action since winning the NBA Finals. Boris looked rusty as he had 1 point, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists. Nicolas Batum tallied a respectable 16-point and 11-rebound double-double.
Andray Blatche believe it or not plays for the Philippines. Blatche scored 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Both Blatche and Fournier ended up rolling their ankles in this contest. Evan's at least came as a result of taking a hard charge on a driving Blatche.
France continues their Antibes Tournament with Day 2 action on Saturday as they take on Ukraine.
Below is part 3 of the French Basketball Federation's summer series on their national team. Fournier once more gets a lot of air time.

Freddie Starr released on police bail after further questioning
Freddie Starr has been released on bail for a second time after further questioning by police investigating the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.
Mr Starr, of Warwickshire, was arrested under Operation Yewtree on Thursday on suspicion of sexual offences.
The entertainer has denied claims that he groped a girl of 14 while in a BBC dressing room with Savile.
Meanwhile, Savile's estate, the BBC and three other organisations are facing the prospect of legal action.
Mr Starr, 69, returned to speak to officers after being bailed in the early hours of Friday. The Metropolitan Police said he had been re-bailed to a date in December.Independent review
Police say Mr Starr's arrest falls under the strand of the investigation classed as "Savile and others".
Jimmy Savile inquiries
- Operation Yewtree: Scotland Yard criminal investigation into sexual abuse claims
- BBC investigation into management failures over the dropping of Savile Newsnight report
- BBC investigation into culture and practices during Savile's career and current policies
- BBC investigation into handling of past sexual harassment claims
- Department of Health investigation into Savile's appointment to Broadmoor "taskforce" and his activities at Broadmoor, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Leeds General Infirmary
- Director of Public Prosecutions review into decisions not to prosecute Savile in 2009
Scotland Yard said Mr Starr had returned while on bail and was being questioned for a second time.
He had been arrested on Thursday at 17:45 GMT before being released on bail between 01:00 and 01:30 GMT on Friday.
Police believe former BBC presenter and DJ Savile, who died last year aged 84, could have abused as many as 300 people over a 40-year period.
They have described him as a "predatory sex offender" and are following 400 lines of inquiry.
On Sunday, ex-pop star Gary Glitter was arrested and bailed after being questioned as part of the inquiry.
Glitter, 68, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was arrested at home and questioned at a London police station before being released on bail until mid-December.
Liz Dux, from law firm Russell, Jones and Walker, said letters had been sent to the Savile estate, Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Broadmoor, Leeds General Infirmary and the BBC saying 20 clients who claim they were abused by the late presenter are considering legal action.
Meanwhile, an independent review into BBC Newsnight's dropping of a programme about the allegations against Savile will report later this month.
Led by ex-Sky News boss Nick Pollard, it will seek to establish whether there were any "failings" in the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation.
