Dolphins Fall To Mercer In Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament, 73-57
March 6, 2003
By KEITH PARSONS
ATLANTA - Scott Emerson and Delmar Wilson keyed a second-half run with 3-pointers, helping top-seeded Mercer beat Jacksonville 73-57 Thursday in the first round of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament.
The Dolphins (13-16), the No. 8 seed, were playing without leading scorer and rebounder Calvin Warner, who was suspended a day earlier for an unspecified violation of team policy. Without him, Jacksonville dressed only nine players.
Aleem Muhammad had 17 points for the Bears (23-5), who will play fifth-seeded Central Florida in the semifinals. Central Florida beat Jacksonville State 68-51 earlier in the day.
Wilson and Clarence Baker added 13 apiece, and Emerson finished with 11 for Mercer.
Kevin Sheppard led Jacksonville with 22, and reserve Chip White had a career-high 15 - all on 3-pointers.
The Dolphins scored the first four points of the second half to trail 32-27, and had a chance to cut the deficit even more. But they missed three shots on one possession, and Emerson started a 12-0 spurt with his first 3 of the game.
Wilson followed with another 3-pointer, Wesley Duke added a powerful dunk in traffic and Baker and Muhammad made layups on the break to give Mercer a 44-27 lead.
Jacksonville rallied within nine on three occasions, the final time at 54-45 with 6:30 left. But Baker made two free throws and Justin Howard scored from in close to end the threat, allowing Bears coach Mark Slonaker to empty his bench with two minutes left.
He may have been trying to keep the margin down, since he was facing his old college coach, Jacksonville's Hugh Durham. Slonaker played for Durham at Georgia.
Without Warner, the Dolphins got pounded inside, losing the rebound battle 46-25. Mercer grabbed 22 on the offensive end.
White, who had played in only 19 of the previous 28 games, came in averaging less than a point. But with the depleted roster, Durham went to him early, and White came through. A 17 percent shooter from beyond the 3-point line, he made 5-of-8 against the Bears.

A 22-year-old Lubbock woman has been charged with murder after police say she stabbed her boyfriend to death early Saturday morning.
Latrinda Allen turned herself into the Lubbock Police Department shortly after the incident at 1301 25th Street. Allen allegedly stabbed her 40-year-old boyfriend Jesse Ray Conley Jr. in the neck just after 3:30am. Conley was taken to UMC where he later died.
Allen is being held at the Lubbock County Jail on a $150,000 bond. Homicide detectives continue to investigate this incident.

Last week I started up a new little project to help me with learning Danish—a Danish podcast. The podcast is almost entirely in Danish, so if you don't speak Danish, it won't be very interesting. If you do speak Danish well, then it will probably bore you to tears, or be so slow and silly that it'll drive you mad. This podcast is aimed at people just like me, who are in the process of learning Danish. Read more about My Danish Podcast
I dette afsnit snakker vi om vores rejse til Island. Vi snakker om hvad vi har set og hvordan man kan tale om at rejse uden "gå" ligesom på engelsk.

I am repeatedly asked why I am bothering to learn Danish, even though I am living here for the summer. Many Danes seem to find it endearing, funny, and slightly puzzling. Unless you plan to actually settle down here permanently, there is really no reason to. There are plenty of expats from all sorts of places who live here for years and never learn Danish. English is simply enough, at least if you live in or near Copenhagen. Just walking down the street, you'll even see some signs in English. (For those following along for Drupalcon, I should also point out that no matter where Drupalcon is held in the world, as an international conference, it is always held completely in English.)

Ah well, I am sick once again. I managed to get the flu for the second time this year. I haven't had the flu for 10 years prior to this. The fever is now gone but it has moved on to bronchitis and it's just not very fun. It is however giving me time to blog. I have to say that I think the added stressors of the freelance work and the addition for the house have been enough to make me noticably sicker this year. Bleh.

Here is site that is great for getting all riled up over language, Common Errors in English. One of my favorite parts is the Non-Errors page.

One phrase that makes me nuts is "Could care less" since I have actually found myself saying it! Read more about I Talk Good
According to the Gunning-Fog index of readability I'm very good at writing simple sentences (we'll just ignore that five syllable word back there). I have a paltry (yet desired?) 8.91% of words that are three syllables or more. I guess repeating syllable over and over again will push that up. My Gunning-Fog index is at 8.32 which is supposed to line up with the average grade for a reader who can hack through my syllables. Don't even look at the Flesch-Kincaid Grade - I don't even get out of elementary school there. Read more about I write for 8th Graders

John B. Sanfilippo & Son Stock Upgraded (JBSS)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- John B. Sanfilippo & Son (Nasdaq:JBSS) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, impressive record of earnings per share growth and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Food Products industry. The net income increased by 80.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $5.17 million to $9.35 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 581.03% to $17.33 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow of 581.03%, SANFILIPPO JOHN B&SON is still growing at a significantly lower rate than the industry average of 2660.03%.
- JBSS, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 25.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.1%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- SANFILIPPO JOHN B&SON reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has not demonstrated a clear trend in earnings over the past two years, making it difficult to accurately predict earnings for the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SANFILIPPO JOHN B&SON reported lower earnings of $0.26 versus $1.34 in the prior year.

Paula who?
Despite losing judge Paula Abdul, "American Idol" started its ninth season on a high note with an estimated audience of nearly 30 million people
Tuesday's viewership nearly matched last year's season debut audience of 30.4 million, according to preliminary Nielsen Co. figures released Wednesday.
It was the first test of how viewers would respond to "American Idol" without Abdul, who left over a salary despite. Her place is being filled first by celebrity panelists, including Victoria Beckham and Katy Perry, and later this season by new judge Ellen DeGeneres.
"American Idol" faces a bigger challenge next season: judge Simon Cowell announced this week he's leaving to start another talent show, "The X Factor," on Fox.
"Idol" airs a 90-minute episode tonight.

The noontime temperature was also 12 below zero in Fort Wayne and Terre Haute, and it was even 2 below zero in Evansville in far southwestern Indiana.
Emergency officials in the northern two-thirds of the state warned people to stay off the roads, many of which were rendered impassable because of heavy snow and winds that drifted over some roadways. At least one person had died from a crash on snow-covered roads.
The weather service said the heaviest snowfall was 15 inches reported in the north-central Indiana town of Tipton, while the southern Indiana city of Bloomington, where much of the precipitation fell as rain, reported less than one inch of new snow.
Most counties in the northern two-thirds of the state issued warnings asking everyone except emergency workers to avoid travel.
Highway officials on Monday afternoon reopened two major highways in northwestern Indiana — Interstate 65 between Lafayette and Merrillville and I-80/94 from the Illinois state line to Michigan City — but warned drivers to use extreme caution. Numerous state and local roads remained closed.
Indiana Department of Homeland spokesman John Erickson said National Guard crews were contributing highway and roadside assistance and helping emergency medical services reach patients. Erickson said even some emergency vehicles were having trouble in the snow.
Indiana's major electricity providers reported more than 37,000 power outages around the state after Sunday's snowstorm. Indianapolis had the most outages, and power remained out for about 30,000 homes and businesses as of Monday afternoon.
About 75 Indianapolis residents whose homes and apartments had been plunged into icy darkness by outages sought shelter in the American Red Cross' local headquarters north of downtown, where they milled about following a breakfast of hot oatmeal, coffee and cookies.
Among them was Ronald G. Smith Sr., a 53-year-old auto mechanic who said he was thankful that he had a warm place to stay until his home's power was restored. He said he fell asleep while watching Sunday's playoff game between the San Francisco 49rs and Green Bay Packers, and that he awoke at around 10 p.m. to no power.

Inguinal Swelling
Most inguinal hernias can be safely managed in the ED – but beware the zebras that require emergency surgery.
Figure 1: Right-sided swelling over the inguinal canal
A 63-year-old female presented with four days of progressive swelling over her right inguinal area. While initially painless, the patient developed significant discomfort in the days preceding her presentation to the emergency department. She denied fevers, chills, vaginal bleeding, history of vaginal discharge/STDs or urinary symptoms. She was eating and moving her bowels without difficulty. On arrival to the ED, the patient appeared uncomfortable, but was non-toxic and had normal vital signs. Physical exam revealed a 6 cm x 4 cm x 1 cm fullness to the patient's right inguinal canal. The area was exquisitely tender to touch, but was not red or warm. A bedside ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) were used to confirm the diagnosis.
What's the Diagnosis?
Amyand's hernia with acute appendicitis.
Presence of the appendix in an inguinal hernia sac is known as Amyand's hernia. Acute appendicitis inside a hernia sac is a rare clinical entity representing approximately 0.08% of all cases of appendicitis [1]. A retrospective review of 18 patients with Amyand's hernia found that painful inguinal swelling was the presenting symptom in 83% of patients [2]. In this series, all patients were taken to the operating room with a presumptive diagnosis of incarcerated or strangulated inguinal hernia, and four patients had evidence of appendiceal inflammation and underwent appendectomy. Although the diagnosis of Amyand's hernia is a zebra, the management of inguinal hernias is bread and butter emergency medicine.
Definition and Classification
Hernias are caused when structures such as muscle, fat or intestines push through the tissues that normally contain them. Hernias are classified as external or internal. External hernias protrude through the abdominal wall and internal hernias push through an internal tissue within a body cavity. Our discussion will focus on the recognition and management of inguinal hernias.
Hernias occur in roughly 5% of the general population and approximately three-fourths of hernias occur in the inguinal region [3]. The inguinal canal is located just superior to the inguinal ligament, between the internal and external inguinal rings.
This canal allows for the passage of the spermatic cord and testicular vasculature from the abdomen into the scrotum. Indirect inguinal hernias are due to a patent processus vaginalis, an embryologic remnant, and pass from the abdomen through the internal inguinal ring, and into the inguinal canal.
In contrast, a direct inguinal hernia is due to a weakness, or a defect, in the transversalis fascia of the abdominal wall. In a direct inguinal hernia, intra-abdominal contents herniate through this fascial defect, instead of through the inguinal canal. Direct inguinal hernias are often due to increased intra-abdominal pressure from heavy lifting or intra-abdominal fluid (i.e. ascites, peritoneal dialysis, etc.) [3].
Determining Diagnosis
Both subsets of inguinal hernias are external hernias, and therefore can often be diagnosed based on clinical examination. Direct inguinal hernias can be recognized by a protrusion or tenderness over the lower abdominal wall superior to the inguinal ligament and medial to the inferior epigastric artery. In contrast, indirect inguinal hernias can be palpated when the examiner inserts a finger into the inguinal canal (through the external ring) during a Vasalva maneuver. Indirect hernias may also be visible in the scrotum if they exit the external inguinal ring. Clinical recognition of both direct and indirect inguinal hernias may be difficult in obese patients, or in patients with small hernia sacs.
Ultrasound is a useful imaging modality when the clinical diagnosis of an inguinal hernia is unclear, with a recent meta-analysis showing ultrasound had a 97% sensitivity and 85% specificity for this diagnosis [4]. The advantages of ultrasound include its increasing availability to most EDs along with its low cost and lack of radiation exposure.
Computed tomography (CT) is an alternative imaging modality when the clinical diagnosis of an inguinal hernia is uncertain in ED patients with lower abdominal pain or swelling. While many inguinal hernias are clinically apparent without any imaging, smaller hernia sacs may be difficult to diagnose with physical exam or ultrasound. Therefore, CT should be considered when there is a clinical suspicion of an inguinal hernia that cannot be confirmed on exam or bedside ultrasound.
The advantages of CT include a better delineation of the anatomic site of the hernia sac and superior resolution of the contents of the hernia (i.e. omentum, bowel, appendix, etc.). Several small studies have examined the utility of CT in the diagnosis of abdominal wall and inguinal hernias. Sensitivities of CT range from 60-83%, while the specificity of CT approaches 100% [5,6].

Management of Reducible Hernias
Unless there is a strong suspicion of a strangulated hernia (discussed below) most patients can have their inguinal hernias successfully reduced in the emergency department. As hernia manipulation can be quite painful, pain meds should be administered prior to manual reduction. If the patient still appears obviously uncomfortable the use of conscious sedation should be strongly considered.
Patients with inguinal hernias should be placed in a Trendelenburg position (supine with the head 20 degrees downward) so that gravity aids in pulling contents of the hernia sac back into the abdominal cavity. The patient should be left in this position for 10 to 20 minutes, as many hernias will spontaneously reduce with this maneuver alone [7].
If positioning alone is unsuccessful, locate the defect in the abdominal wall and with slow and steady pressure gently push the most proximal contents of the hernia sac through this defect [7]. If initial reduction is unsuccessful, fight the temptation to make repeated attempts as this may increase swelling. Instead, if at first you don't succeed . . . consult surgery.

Management of Incarcerated and Strangulated Hernias
If reduction is unsuccessful, the hernia is by definition incarcerated (it cannot be reduced to its original position). A true incarcerated hernia may present like a bowel obstruction with vomiting, decreased gas, hyperactive bowel sounds and abdominal pain. As swelling in the incarcerated hernia progresses, the vascular supply becomes compromised resulting in ischemic tissue and a strangulated hernia.
This is a true surgical emergency as ischemic bowel can become gangrenous in as little as five hours [3] In one study, bowel resection was required in 12% of patients, and patients with incarcerated or strangulated hernias had an overall mortality of 3% [8].
Incarcerated and strangulated hernias are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for appropriate and prompt ED management. Emergency department management includes prompt surgical consultation, intravenous fluid resuscitation, analgesia, consideration of parenteral antibiotics for cases of suspected viscous perforation, and prompt transfer to an operating room.

You keep saying you're going to do it, but it seems like there's simply not enough time in the day to get to it.
You've got work to go to, kids to raise, rush hour traffic to drive through, errands to run, a conference to attend, a business you're working on, a house to keep up, a friend that needs help, and a spouse to make time for.
It's not hard to find a million reasons why we feel like we just don't have time for a workout. Somehow, making time to exercise keeps getting pushed to the bottom of our priorities lists.
Still, as tired as we are at the end of a busy day of being superheroes, we get even more tired of not loving how we look in the mirror when we take our clothes off. We're tired of sucking our tummies in for photos. We're tired of stretch marks and cellulite.
At the end of the day, you really just want to make the time to be a healthier, "tighter-tummied" you.
And you should!
Making time to exercise will do wonders for your body and overall quality of life.
Not only will it help you get control of your weight, but it will improve your mood, give you more energy, help you sleep better, put a spark back in your sex life, and help to reduce your chance of getting several diseases. (Mayo Clinic)
We've all heard that a big waistline can put us at an increased risk for many health problems including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and strokes. But for women, having too much belly fat can also affect fertility and increase her chances of getting breast cancer. (Web MD)
With all of the benefits of exercise and risks associated with having too much belly fat, you can't afford to make any more excuses.
You've got to find a way to get to your core.
And here are a few tips to help to help you fit your workout into a busy schedule.
Do what you love
It's very easy to put off a workout that we dread doing. For some people, the very idea of going on a 3 mile jog stresses them out.
If you dread your workout, you won't make time for it. So, make it easy for yourself and a choose workout that you actually look forward to doing.
Bike through your favorite park. Try a Zumba video on YouTube. Join a hip-hop dance class. Exercise with a partner you enjoy being around. Start a competition.
You'll find it easier to make time for a workout you really love to do.
Plan and Prepare
You know how the saying goes… "Failing to plan is planning to fail."
Well that is certainly the case when it comes to working out. It's easy to say, "I'm going to get to my core today" but actually planning and preparing to do it is another story.
If you're serious about reducing your body fat, schedule a time and have everything ready to go. Keep a pair of workout clothes, running shoes, and an energy bar in your car or in your work bag.
Try keeping an inventory of how you spend your time for two days. Maybe you need to sacrifice some of the time you spend watching TV or surfing the web. You may also need to learn how to say no. Making time for your workout might mean you'll have to shift or let go of some of your other priorities. But it's a sacrifice you shouldn't feel bad about making. When you put yourself first and prioritize being healthy, then you will have a longer life to give to those you care about.
Remember that something is better than nothing.
Part of the reason why many of us don't exercise is because we feel as though we have to carve out an hour of our day to do it. However that is not the case. Scattering a few minutes of exercise throughout the day can make a difference. You don't necessarily have to go to gym, you can incorporate exercise into everything you do. Just pick a workout form that you can do almost anywhere with very little preparation.
Start parking far away from the buildings you enter. Play tag with your kids. Walk the long way on your commute from work. Run up and down a flight of stairs a few times. Do a few sit ups or planks before bed or when you wake up in the morning. Do a little something. Do it frequently and consistently. You'll soon see how every little thing counts.
There are lots of other ways we can get healthy and start fighting belly fat!
I want to hear from you.

Dracut's Pop Warner Football Teams prepared for their upcoming seasons by scrimmaging Everett and Burlington. The Middies C Team performed well and looked impressive on both sides of the ball as they tallied several touchdowns and held Everett to one score. They had another fine winning effort against Burlington as they prepare for the season opener against Billerica.
Dracut D-Blue 26
Billerica 0
Dracut D-Blue opens 2013 season with a big win over Billerica with the score of 26-0. The team was led by quarterback Aidan Maston who rushed for a touchdown an extra point and a passing touchdown. Ian Nichols rushed for two touchdowns and had an interception. Jakob Rivers ran back a kickoff to the house. Shawn McGuire had a reception and turned on the jets for a touchdown. Sloan Carter rushed in an extra point. Aiden McCarthy took charge of the offensive line and kept Billerica's D out of the backfield with help from Connor Foley. On the defensive side of the ball, Ian Nichols and Shawn McGuire locked down the corners while J.C. Santiago, Nick Zeoli took care of the middle and Joshua Gagnon handled the secondary. Xavier Faria had two sacks, Brian Mwangi forced a fumble, and Ray Laurin, Lucas Enwright and Stephan Pinto put pressure on Billerica all day.
Dracut MM-Blue
Dracuts Mighty Mite blue team turned in a great effort against a tough visiting Billerica football team Sunday. Dracut's offense exploded in the first half with touchdown runs from Lincoln Beal and Timin Carter. Quarterback Riley Nichols threw a 45-yard touchdown pass behind stellar pass protection from his linemen Nick Tusa, Aiden Saunders, Rocco Geraci, Ethan Sawyer, Drew Richardson, and A.J. Rasmussen. Key long runs by Kia Mcdonald and Kevin O'Brien set up both scoring opportunities.
The second half started off with a long drive by Dracut ending with a 35-yard scoring run by Dylan Eld with key blocks from Kevin Obrien and Kia Mcdonald opening the way. Dracut's standout defensive line, led by veterans Bradon Bourassa, Spencer Teneriello, Justin Ryan and Anthony Rivera, held Billerica's offense stagnate most of the afternoon. Dracut's outside quartet of Nicholas Saywer, Michael Marchionda, Jayson Golden and Kevin O'Brien contained Billerica's speedy backfield throughout the contest.

Instead of always wanting more, sometimes I think, it's good to stop and just look around you and appreciate what you have.
I know, I'm guilty of it… guilty of wanting more, wanting something bigger and better than what I have now.
It's not always a bad thing.
But I try to stop and smell the roses so to speak.
Today, as I was swimming my laps in our sparkling pool, enjoying the quiet and letting my mind wander…
I stopped to appreciate my life and all I am and have.
Every once in a while it's good to do that!

SPOILER ALERT: My comments will give away important details of the story.
Originally published in The New Yorker in 1961, John Updike's short story 'A & P' has been widely anthologized and is generally considered to be a classic.
Plot: Three barefoot girls in bathing suits walk into an A & P grocery store, shocking the customers but drawing the admiration of the two young men working the cash registers. Eventually, the manager notices the girls and tells them that they should be "decently dressed" when they enter the store and that in the future, they will have to follow the store's policy and cover their shoulders.
As the girls are leaving, one of the cashiers, Sammy, tells the manager he quits. He does this partly to impress the girls ("quick enough for them to hear, hoping they'll stop and watch me, their unsuspected hero") and partly because he feels the manager took things too far and "didn't have to embarrass them."
The story ends with Sammy standing alone in the parking lot, the girls long gone. He says that his "stomach kind of fell as I felt how hard the world was going to be to me hereafter."
Narration: The story is told from the first person point of view of Sammy. From the opening line -- "In walks these three girls in nothing but bathing suits" -- Updike establishes Sammy's distinctively colloquial voice. Most of the story is told in the present tense, as if Sammy is talking.
Sammy's cynical observations about his customers (whom he often calls "sheep") can be humorous, such as when he comments that if one particular customer had been "born at the right time they would have burned her over in Salem." And it's an endearing detail when he describes folding his apron and dropping the bow tie on it, and then adds, "The bow tie is theirs, if you've ever wondered."
What else you should know: Some readers will find Sammy's sexist comments to be absolutely grating. The girls have entered the store seeking attention for their physical appearance, and Sammy comments on every detail. It's almost a caricature of objectification when he says, "You never know for sure how girls' minds work (do you really think it's a mind in there or just a little buzz like a bee in a glass jar?)[...]" The "you" to whom this question is addressed obviously couldn't be a teenage girl, and when I first read this story as a -- you guessed it -- teenage girl, I wondered why I was even bothering (except, of course, that a teacher had assigned it to me.)
But read on for some of the story's redeeming qualities.
What's important about the story: The tension arises not because the girls are in bathing suits, but because they're in bathing suits in a place where people don't wear bathing suits. They've crossed a line about what's socially acceptable.
Sammy says:
"You know, it's one thing to have a girl in a bathing suit down on the beach, where what with the glare nobody can look at each other much anyway, and another thing in the cool of the A & P, under the fluorescent lights, against all those stacked packages, with her feet paddling along naked over our checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor."
Sammy obviously finds the girls physically alluring, but he's also attracted by their rebellion. He doesn't want to be like the "sheep" he makes such fun of, the customers who are befuddled when the girls enter the store.
There are clues that the girls' rebellion has its roots in economic privilege, a privilege not available to Sammy. The girls tell the manager that they entered the store only because one of their mothers asked them to pick up some herring snacks, an item that makes Sammy imagine a scene in which the "men were standing around in ice-cream coats and bow ties and the women were in sandals picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big glass plate." In contrast, when Sammy's parents "have somebody over they get lemonade and if it's a real racy affair Schlitz in tall glasses with "They'll Do It Every Time" cartoons stencilled on."
In the end, the class difference between Sammy and the girls means that his rebellion has far more serious ramifications than theirs does. By the end of the story, Sammy has lost his job and alienated his family. He feels "how hard the world [is] going to be" because not becoming a "sheep" won't be as easy as just walking away, and certainly won't be as easy for him as it will be for the girls, who inhabit a "place from which the crowd that runs the A & P must look pretty crummy."

Model# CP1025H5
Acer XK Chipper - Clubhead
Starting at: $13.95The Acer XK Chipper combines the loft of an 8-iron with the weight and lie of a putter. The ultrawide contoured sole glides across either the rough or the close cropped apron surrounding the green. Gooseneck, over-the-hosel design increases the effective face area and eliminates the possibility of shanking the ball like with an iron. Learn More
Model# CP1026H
Acer XK Flipper Chipper - Clubhead
Starting at: $13.95What type of club would produce the perfect cross between a chip shot and a flop shot? That would be the innovative Acer XK Flipper, which is not just another ordinary chipper on the market.The Flipper is based on our ever-popular Acer XK Chipper that measures 37d loft and is perfect for producing that pitch and run shot around the green. However, what happens when you miss the green short sided or when there is little room between the fringe and the hole to work with? A pitch and run shot will surely run the ball past the hole and further from your goal.Ask yourself how comfortable are you at pulling a wedge out of your bag to cozy the ball near the hole in those situations? If the answer to that is not very good, then the ultra-wide sole to glide along the grass coupled with the higher loft (46d), the Flipper allows you to finally make that 'fly & die' or 'pop and stop' shot that? been missing from your bag. Learn More
Model# CP25
Dynacraft Avatar Chipper - Clubhead
Starting at: $10.95Save strokes around the green with the new Avatar chipper. This clubhead features a unique gooseneck hosel design which makes this club shank-proof. The non-offset design with the Dynacraft logo on the crown makes for easy alignment. Simply put the ball in the middle of your stance and take a normal putting stroke to get the ball airborne and rolling toward your target. Stainless steel construction with an extremely wide sole prevents scuffing the turf. Uses a standard .370" iron or putter shaft (putter grips are not recommended as this would make the club non-conforming to the Rules of Golf). Assemble to putter length. Learn More

Geography of EuropePrint
In 2011, 27 countries of Europe were member states of the European Union [European Union : A group of European Countries initially formed to remove trade barriers and reduce potential for war within Europe.] (EU).
All member states of the EU aim to work closely with other members and there are some laws that apply in an EU country because it is a member. The European Council is made up of the heads of states of EU countries, and the European Parliament consists of 754 MEPs (Members of European Parliament) from EU countries. All member states are represented in these groups. The UK has over 70 seats in the European Parliament.
The EU also sets goals and targets for looking after the environment. One initiative is a policy developed in 2008 to combat climate change. It aims to:
cut greenhouse gases by 20 per cent by 2020
cut energy use by 20 per cent by 2020
make sure that 20 per cent of energy use comes from renewable [renewable: Something that is able to be used over and over again without running out, eg solar power.] sources
The Euro is a form of currency. Many EU members use it because it helps to make trade [trade : The exchange of goods for money between producers and consumers.] easier between member states. The group of countries that use the Euro are called the 'Eurozone'.
Outside of the EU, the state of other countries' economies in Europe has continental and global effects. For example, in 2008 there was a financial crisis in Iceland. Iceland is not in the EU but this still affected many European countries.
Transport links have increased between European countries due to:
The rise of budget airlines, making short-distance flights more economical.
The Channel tunnel, Europe's longest tunnel, built in 1994. It goes under the sea between England and France and has up to three trains per hour.
The EU allowing freer movement of people between member states.
Communication links allow information to be exchanged between people in different countries, such as:
mobile phones
satellite TV
There are only three time zones in Europe, which means most business hours in the week overlap between countries.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, whom the Tigers won't face in their two-game series, is at 36 consecutive scoreless innings and counting. (Ed Zurga / Getty Images)
Detroit � The Tigers aren�t shedding any tears about missing him.
�Thank God!� Torii Hunter said.
But you better believe Tigers fans wanted a glimpse of Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw this week. And he could�ve started Wednesday�s game on regular rest.
No dice, the team announced late last week.
So there goes any hope of a Kershaw-Max Scherzer showdown, which would�ve been a meeting of the reigning Cy Young winners.
�It�s still a good pitching matchup,� Kershaw said Tuesday at Comerica Park.
He�s right. Zack Greinke will go for the Dodgers on Wednesday. No slouch there.
But he can�t match the roll Kershaw is on. The scruffy left-hander is evoking memories of another great Dodgers lefty, Sandy Koufax, while at 36 consecutive scoreless innings and counting. It�s a streak that includes one of the most dominant no-hitters of all time.
He�s on a roll of historic proportions. Kershaw hasn�t allowed a run since June 13, hasn�t allowed two since June 2 and hasn�t allowed three since May 28.
All told, he�s having an even better season than when he won his two Cy Youngs, in 2011 and 2013.
Not that Kershaw is one to gloat.
�Our team�s playing really well, and so I�m just trying to contribute every fifth day,� he said. �It seems like every time I�ve been pitching, I�ve been getting tons of runs. So you really just go out there with the confidence that your team is gonna have your back.
�Just go out there and throw strikes and see what happens.�
What�s happened for Kershaw is this: A no-hitter June 18, eight innings of scoreless ball June 24, seven innings of scoreless ball June 29 and eighth innings of scoreless ball July 4.
In two of those last three outings, he probably could�ve gone the distance, too, but the Dodgers are taking it easy with him, after he missed all of April with a back injury.
That hasn�t slowed Kershaw. He�s still 10-2 with a 1.85 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 87.1 innings, and the easy favorite to start for the National League in the All-Star Game on July 15 in Minneapolis.
�He�s one of my favorite teammates I�ve ever had,� said Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, who finished his playing career with the Dodgers in 2009 and �10 � the first full seasons of Kershaw�s career. �That would be as a person, in the clubhouse and on the field.
�He was 20 when I first met him. He�s always been highly competitive, and highly focused.�
Kershaw is 26 now but still has fond memories of his time working with Ausmus.
The two clicked immediately, probably, Ausmus theorized, because of their similar senses of humors.
�There aren�t many people,� said Ausmus, �who don�t get along with him.�
While Kershaw hasn�t pitched in Detroit since his rookie year, in 2008, he�s not unfamiliar with making the trip. He was here in the fall of 2012, during the World Series, to accept the Roberto Clemente Award for his work off the field. Clayton and his wife Ellen Kershaw run an orphanage in Zambia.
So, next time you ask yourself why players like Kershaw need all that money � in January, he signed a seven-year, $215 million contract extension � well, now you know.
Kershaw also has made the trip to Detroit during the NFL season to watch his good buddy and former high-school classmate, Matthew Stafford, play quarterback for the Lions.
They both attended Highland Park High School in Texas, and both went on to become their team�s No. 1 draft picks � Kershaw seventh overall to the Dodgers in 2006 out of high school, and Stafford No. 1 overall to the Lions in 2009 out of the University of Georgia.
Stafford dabbled in baseball in high school, while Kershaw actually was Stafford�s center in football. They still stay in close touch, and hang out when they can, though their offseasons are way different.
�I�ve seen him a few times. I came up here once, and then when he played the Cowboys, I watched him back home some,� Kershaw said. �It�s fun rooting for Matthew. You always want him to do well.�
No question, Stafford, in turn, will be paying attention to Thursday night�s Dodgers game against the Padres. That�s when Kershaw again puts his scoreless streak on the line.
It's just a day later than what Tigers fans � not the Tigers, themselves � were hoping for.
�I�m very excited that I�m not� facing Kershaw, said Hunter, who faced him all too often during his days with the Angels.

This highly experimental brew out of Prism doesn't quite have a single style. It uses pilsner malts, their own house ale yeast and an experimental hop, then on top of all that, they throw in fresh-squeezed pineapple. This all combines for a highly fruity and refreshing summer beverage with a certain kick to it that you are sure not to find anywhere else. 5% ABV
Superbowl Food and Beer Pairings
So the Eagles didn't make it to the Superbowl this year, but don't go canceling your party yet. We've got some ideas for some Denver and Seattle inspired meals, as well as the perfect beers to go with them. So root for you favorite team–even if it's not really your favorite–and try one of these delicious combos.
Seattle Seahawks
Washington is known for its huge, delicious sockeye salmon, and there are so many recipes to choose from. Although salmon is always tasty, here's three serving suggestions.
Smoked Salmon – Victory Golden Monkey's sweet and spicy flavor pairs well with the brown sugar and light but rich texture of sweet salmon.
Glazed Salmon – Susquehanna's HopFive IPA has enough hops to counter balance the sticky-sweetness of the glaze, and is light enough for seafood.
Smoked Salmon Dip – Troeg's Dreamweaver pairs well with all sorts of seafood, and it's light enough to serve with snacks/appetizers.
Denver Broncos
Where Washington is famous for salmon, Colorado's claim to fame is its buffalo, which can be cooked in a number of different, delicious ways. These three options really bring out the sweet, rich flavor of the meat.
Buffalo Burgers – The smokiness of these burgers matches that of Prism Brewing's Insana Stout, brewed with chocolate and bacon. Mmm!
Buffalo Brisket – East Coast Beer Co. Winter Rental's sweet dark fruit notes will play up the sweetness of the meat in this brisket.
Buffalo Chili – Evolution Lot #3 IPA goes great with this spicy chili, as the bitterness will complement the hot peppers, and the light body
And of course, if you aren't particular to either team but are still hosting a party, you can always play up the joke that each team is from a state where marijuana use is now legal, and serve everyone their own Uinta Dubhe (pronounced doo-bee).
Everyone have a safe and pleasant game time!
