HoopsHype Dirk Nowitzki rumors
Dirk Nowitzki on staying with the same team his whole career: "I still think it's really special. It says a lot about the team and their surroundings and their organization and the guys, so yeah, I think it's really special." Dallas Morning News
Dirk Nowitzki on his frequent issues with his teeth and oral surgery: "My whole front is fake now … I got hit a couple of times. Here was the dilemma. You know I had rabbit teeth when I first came over. The first two were a little bit longer than the rest, so here's what happened: So then you get those two knocked in, right, am I going to say, 'Ok, put those same rabbit teeth back in?' No. Let's make them better. So then, I had a bridge, which was the front four, and you just shave the four down and put a bridge over it, and then a couple years ago, that bridge got hit over and over and over again, so then the teeth under the bridge were cracked, so it didn't hold them any more. It could have gone out at any time, so I didn't have any front four, so then I had to opt for the implants. There was really a year—and it started that year in the playoffs in San Antonio—after every season I had to have oral surgery for like 3-4 years … Other people have like knees and stings, and I had mouth surgery for like five years for sure." Dallas Morning News
Dirk Nowitzki on the cameras sometime picking up on him yelling at coaches and teammates: "I still need to get better. Sometimes I get a little be negative. With Germans, we sometimes tend to be a little bit more negative, and I think I get that from my mom." Dallas Morning News
Dirk Nowitzki on some of the sound-bytes Dirk has recorded over the years, specifically one occasion in 2003 when he yelled, "What is Wang [Zhizhi] doing?" "There were some communication problems back in the day. I remember we had had an interpreter for him, and sometimes would just say whatever. I mean, we had no ideas what he told him. But yeah, those were the good old times. We had so many foreign guys on the team." Dallas Morning News
Earl K. Sneed: Dirk: "It feels good to be back in the big dance. I mean, that's where competitors want to be -- on the big stage and in the playoffs." Twitter @EarlKSneed
Turns out that, since November, Durant has been working with Adam Harrington as his personal trainer beyond his daily duties with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Which is the same Adam Harrington who briefly played alongside Nowitzki with the Dallas Mavericks more than a decade ago and has been studying the unorthodox coaching techniques hatched by Nowitzki's longtime mentor and shot doctor from back home, Holger Geschwindner, ever since. "It's a lot more than just trying to copy the one-legger," Durant said, explaining that he's not merely focused on trying to mimic Nowitzki's signature shot. "Dirk's got a lot of moves I'm trying to steal." ESPN.com
Dirk, you see, is Durant's favorite active player. "It's probably a tie between him and Kobe," Durant said after giving it some extra thought. Yet there's no disputing who's the more natural role model for KD. It's that 35-year-old, that 7-footer, who plays three hours away down Interstate 35 ... and who just shot his way into the top 10 on the league's all-time scoring charts in his 16th season. You figure Durant will get there even faster at his current pace, given the insane levels of efficiency he's hitting -- sporting a PER of 30.2 for the season -- and blessed with that extra dose of athleticism Dirk has always dreamed of. ESPN.com
Dirk Nowitzki on if college was a serious option for him, and his path to the NBA: "Yeah, it was, and I had basically two options: It was either college or stay in Europe with a big club. I visited Barcelona, Real Madrid, some of those teams, two teams in Italy and practice there and get better and better and then maybe try to jump in the NBA, and then what happened was I had that huge Hoop Summit game, kind of out of nowhere I came over, when we played the best high school guys in the U.S., and I kind of had 34 or whatever, and that changed everything, I mean, all of a sudden, I had agents calling Holger, and it was nuts just from that one game, I had scouts calling Holger, and numerous colleges—I think I had like 36 college offers. Yeah, it was kind of all in the open, but that one game, that Hoop Summit kind of changed everything, and then I ended up deciding, 'Hey, let me try the NBA, and if it doesn't work, I can always come back to Europe and play at a high level for a long, long time. I was a little worried about in college, since I was a seven-footer, that they might just put me in the weight room and lift weights for years straight, not even see the court, and make me strong, make me a back-to-the-basket player … And then I said, 'Ok, I'll try the NBA,' and I was always really to have Nellie my first couple of years. He was perfect for my skill-set with the stretch-four and mismatches and stuff like that, and even in the NBA, it worked out perfectly, because he was the coach in the beginning in Dallas." Dallas Morning News
Dirk Nowitzki on Steve Nash's Grantland documentary series: "It's actually a little depressing, and he's brutally honest in it, which I think is great to see what athletes think, what they go through at the end." Dallas Morning News
NBA Communications: CHA's Jefferson and DAL's Nowitzki Named NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week. Twitter
Oakley has an interesting theory. He believes in order to globalize the league, ex-commissioner David Stern had to change the rules to make the NBA more inviting for European players. While the rule changes to increase scoring were effective, they made the league less physical. "When we played in the '80s, it wasn't OK [for European players to play in the NBA]," Oakley said. "They weren't coming over here. They were scared. The game was tough and they weren't tough. Back then it was 1 percent and now it's 40 percent and it's going to keep going up. The dollar is international now. I don't like 7-footers shooting threes, it's a disrespect to the game for me. Dirk [Nowitzki] is good, point blank. [Larry] Bird got away with it. A few guys can get away with it because they can flat-out shoot." Boston Globe
The referees' explanation didn't make any sense to Dirk Nowitzki. Before walking off the floor after the Dallas Mavericks' 122-120 overtime loss Tuesday to the Golden State Warriors, Nowitzki asked the officiating crew of Danny Crawford, Sean Corbin and Eric Dalen why Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal wasn't called for goaltending on his critical block of a Monta Ellis floater with 13 seconds remaining and the game tied. "I think his layup has a chance to get to the rim, and if that's the case, you can't just get it out of the air," Nowitzki said. "To me, that's a goaltend. I asked the referees what happened. The explanation was that the ball was two feet short. If that's the case, then he can get it out of the air, but where I was from, I think it had a chance to at least hit the rim. That's a goaltend to me." ESPN.com
Sorry, Paul Rudd, but I've got a new favorite "Conan" guest now. I'm sure he understands, but Dirk straight crushing this nicknames bit last night is just impossible to beat. It was a nice run while it lasted, Rudd. There's a new Herr in town. NBA.com
Q: We all know you've committed to re-signing with Dallas this summer as a free agent, and to finishing your career as a Maverick. But even if that's the case, why not explore free agency this summer, just to see what it's like, to be courted by other teams? Dirk Nowitzki: Well, I think the first time I was a free agent was in 2010. Other than that, I always extended early. I didn't even like it. I hated the unknown. Even listening to other teams, I just wasn't interested. I wanted to be here. My heart's here. I've been here for 16 years now. My family's here, friends. I'd love to retire here. I think everybody knows that. So hopefully we compete my last couple of years, make the playoffs every year. I think that's important. And just compete at the highest level. And then, slowly, riding into the sunset. It's been a great ride here. I can't even imagine wearing a different uniform. I don't want to live in a different city. I can't even imagine it. NBA.com
Q: So, do you like the direction that the team went in last summer, bringing in Monta and Jose on long-term contracts? Dirk Nowitzki: Well, I think we still have to prove it. That's the question. It's another big summer for us. We won the 'ship in '11, and then the lockout came, and we had to make some business decisions. We couldn't keep some of our warriors we won the championship with, and we had to make some tough decisions for our team, and for our fans. We moved on, and we tried to get some big free agents. Didn't work out, and that's part of the business. What you try to do is steady the ship and keep getting better. If it's not going to be another superstar this summer, then another couple of good players, like we did last year. That whole eight one-year deal [concept] didn't work, so that's why we went in a different direction. We brought in the steady backcourt duo in Monta [and Calderon]. They're going to be here a while. So if you can't get a superstar player, you try to get a bunch of good players, and they like playing with each other, and you go from there. NBA.com
Holger Geschwindner, who has mentored Dirk Nowitzki since he was a teenager in Wurzburg, Germany, believes the 35-year-old Dallas Mavericks star can play at a high level for "three or four more years easily," barring serious injury. Geschwindner has encouraged Nowitzki, who made his 12th All-Star appearance this season, to play long enough that he'll have no regrets after retiring. ESPN.com

As the parents of baby boomers age, helping to care for them can become a source of financial and emotional stress among families, especially between boomer-age siblings. As sisters and brothers confront the various issues that come with aging family members, decades of shared history can create conflict. In most families, siblings have different financial situations, personalities, and perspectives, which can make it a challenge to come to an agreement about caregiving.
Research from the Money Across Generations II study* shows that 36 percent of boomer-age respondents say that proximity to their parent(s) is the biggest factor in determining which sibling will be the primary source of family support. Only 13 percent agree it is the sibling with the most financial means and a mere three percent believe that all siblings should share the responsibilities.
Regardless of how one chooses, it is important for families to agree on who will be the primary coordinator for their parents' financial and emotional needs before those parent(s) start to experience declining health. Determining who will fill this roll, and communicating that to your parent(s) before it becomes an urgent matter can help ease tension among family members.
Here are some tips to help you and your siblings manage your parents' finances and caregiving needs:
• Be aware and respect your siblings' situations. One or more siblings may live in a different state or have family obligations or professions that keep them from being available to help care for aging parents physically or financially. It may be difficult to accept these discrepancies if your parent(s) require both kinds of support – especially if there are gaps – but it is important to work hard to come to a compromise. While some siblings may have more flexibility to spend time helping your parent(s), others may have less opportunity to leave work to help, but greater financial resources. Sit down and have a conversation with your siblings about what each person feels he or she can and cannot afford in respect to both time and money.
• Recognize differences in money habits and priorities. Each of your siblings may have different money habits – one may splurge while the other is more budget conscious in their purchasing decision processes. Consider money management styles when you are choosing who will be best to help with your parent's finances. Though your less organized sibling may be able to help in many ways, it can be more effective to designate someone who naturally enjoys and excels at handling money.
• Move on from past stereotypes. Although different individuals may excel at different things, relying on childhood roles (i.e. the dreamer, the bossy one, or the perfect student) may only create more problems than needed. Just because one sibling may have taken on too much debt in the past, it does not mean they have a problem with saving money now. Give your siblings the fair benefit of the doubt and ask them to do the same for you when deciding who will do what to help your parent(s).
• Communicate early and often. Communication among siblings is important during this time in your parent's life. If you call and send emails or texts to one family member, your other sibling(s) may be out of the loop. Ensure you are setting aside time to talk with your siblings in a structured setting about matters that may impact everyone. Scheduling regular times to meet in person or talk on the phone will keep everyone informed when discussing your parents' finances and health. If these kinds of conversations typically lead to tension or start an argument, consider drafting an agenda for your meetings to provide the opportunity for a structured discussion in which everyone gets a chance to provide input. If you are the primary caregiver for your parent(s), these conversations provide opportunity to ask for help.
One's parent(s) may need support most during this time in their lives. Try your best to not let financial differences, or stresses set off old problems or rivalries between you and your siblings. Communicate openly and in a structured setting to ensure a supportive environment and success for all involved. Consider working with a financial advisor who can help you work through these scenarios and steer you in the right direction financially.
* The Money Across Generations IISM study was commissioned by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and conducted by telephone by GfK in December 2011 among 1,006 affluent baby boomers (those with $100,000 or more in investable assets); 300 parents of baby boomers; and 300 children of baby boomers at least 18 years old. The margin of error is +/- three percentage points for the affluent boomers segment and +/- six percentage points for the parents and children of boomers segments.

ESPN's Adam Schefter Says Dunta Robinson Getting $57 Million
New Falcons CB Dunta Robinson cashed in with Atlanta. He signed a six-year, $57 million contract that includes $25.5 million in guarantees.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 6, 2010
In total, $25.5 million of that is guaranteed. In terms of overall dollars, that would make him the second highest paid cornerback in the league, behind only Nnamdi Asomugha. I'm starting to warm to the signing a little bit, but considering the Falcons were only bidding against themselves, this seems like an awful lot of money.

I love it, and my Colts thrive on it. Keep the "not a superbowl" team ctiticisms coming.
Who are they to say, "who is a SB team and who isn't?" The Rams would not have won the SB, if there was an election by ESPN on who should play in the SB. When 18 plays like 18, he is like 19(Unitas) and will bring XLI to the Colts. Rams weren't the best defensive team in the league when they won, they weren't the "steel curtain," or the "monsters of the midway." All they did was do enough.
And, when called out, we will do "enough" to rip the head off of our opponents.

Number of ratings 11 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Kind of a dorky professor with even dorkier TA's. Really knows his stuff but TA's do all the grading and recitations are pointless. A lot of reading but not really necessary. Classes are boring at first but get more interesting towards the end of the semester. Lots of documentaries and music clips. Overall a very enjoyable class.
This class is the most boring thing i've ever sat through. There wasn't a day I didn't fall asleep. Nonetheless, I'm glad i took it because the final was SO easy and the papers weren't bad. Tips: go to recitation, don't go to class, get someone to send you their notes from the semester, go to the last class (Final review) and you will get an A.
Definitely an easy class. You don't need to attend lectures or read the assigned books. Just go to recitation, write your papers, and attend the final class to find out what is going to be on the exam. Would recommend for an easy A
Lectures were a little boring at first, but when you get to the 20s and on it gets better. TAs grade everything so if you have an impossible one like me this class can actually be a little hard. A friend of mine had a different TA though who was much easier.
Professor Brundage is an extremely knowledgeable guy who knows an impressive amount about the history of music. His lectures can be boring, but the papers are pretty easy and the final exam is cake- he tells you exactly what is going to be on it. I highly recommend this class.
I had Dr. Brundage twice. Once for his popular music class and once in the History seminar on the South since 1900. He is a great guy and his classes are quite easy. I would suggest him to anyone looking for a laid back professor that is pretty leninet on grades. Obviously if you take the seminar you need to go but I rarely went to the lecture clas
Very interesting course. Lectures are interesting and he's very good about taking questions. High recommended.
Hist 23
Pretty interesting; not my favorite course this semester but definitely not my least favorite either. There was a lot of reading required but I managed to fake my way through most of it. I definitely love the way he tells us what is going to be on the test beforehand.
Hist 23
awesome teacher.lectures are interesting and he doesn't talk to fast. His pace is slow enough to get all the important info. The reading assignments are average length and very interesting (not boring history books). Essays are kind of difficult but the topics are interesting. Tells you exactly what will be on the exam. awesome class. Really cute
I really recommend this class...Brundage seems to know everything imaginable about music, and is always open to our questions. really nice guy!
Hist 22
clear and easy presentation. tells you what will be on exams then picks from that so you can already write an outline before hand, if youre so inclined. plus puts notes online so you dont have to go to class. easy a here.

Outgoing Hattiesburg City Judge Vanessa Jones has hired an attorney to represent her against any possible charges that might arise after the results of an internal police investigation into the municipal court system became public.
Jones is never mentioned by name in the 13-page police report that is at the root of the recent upheaval. The report concluded there was inappropriate conduct between judges and court clerks in the Hattiesburg legal system. Overall, the report said there was a major lack of competence in the municipal court system.
Jones has retained attorney Kim Chaze to represent her in any possible litigation. Chaze said on Friday, "I am privileged to represent Judge Vanessa Jones. Although there have been no accusations against her, I am honored to be her advocate and spokesperson should that need arise. There is no basis for any accusation, but if one is made, it will be dealt with vigorously and honorably."
The investigation also said judges were signing blank court documents for court clerks to fill out at their discretion. The report mainly targeted four clerks, accusing them of accepting gifts in exchange for dismissing tickets and fines as well as destroying court documents.
Jones is not the only judge taking action soon after the report surfaces. Judge George Schmidt submitted his letter of resignation to Mayor Johnny DuPree on August 29 citing interference in the operation of the court by the executive branch of city government.
In a written statement submitted to WDAM-TV on Thursday, Schmidt said, "Judges do not have access to city computers, do not have passwords for those computers, nor do we have defendant's jail files. If a clerk tells a judge that an individual defendant has been in prison or has spent time in jail, the judges have not had reason to doubt that information until the recent allegations of wrongdoing by the court clerks." Schmidt also said clerks do not work for judges, but that they work for the police department.
He concluded by saying "I have done nothing that would bring embarrassment or dishonor to my family, my profession, or the judiciary."
Mayor DuPree plans to replace judges Jones, Schmidt, and Jolly Matthews at the end of the September in favor of a single judge, and the court system will then no longer be under the supervision of the police department but will instead be overseen by the city clerk's office.
As for the punishment doled out against court clerks, one was terminated, and three were suspended. Two have returned to work after serving five-day suspensions without pay, and another received a 10-day suspension. Two have been offered positions elsewhere in the city. The other will return to city court.

Backpacker Magazine – September 2005
He'd toss the titanium stove and build a big fire. Our man enrolls in a traditional guide school and learns how to survive - and think - like an American original.
Outside the lodge that night, as a full moon rises over the aspens, we gather around a bonfire and talk turns, inevitably, to hunting. Between gulps of beer and good-natured insults from Becky, Jeff recalls the time a cornered mountain lion killed one of his hound dogs and wounded another. Billy describes how his father felled an elk with a bow and arrow across an impossible gorge. Sam turns to me. "You don't hunt at all?"
I don't. Back home in coastal California, that's hardly unusual. Mention the buck you shot at a dinner party in San Francisco or Los Angeles, and I promise you a shroud of silence will fall about the room. But the table will be set with meat, and guests will soon be gushing over the paté. It's not killing per se that bothers backpackers like me; we know we're part of an ecosystem predicated on our staying at the top of the food chain. Rather, I think most of us are perplexed that so many of our fellow citizens would choose to experience nature through blood sport.
In the lodge behind me, elk heads line the walls of our meeting room. Once, Jeff recalls, at a New Year's Eve party, someone decorated a mounted moose head with a party hat and poked a cigar in its mouth. Jeff was horrified. "I have nothing but respect for those animals," he says, "and I've never seen one walking around with a cigar." As Jeff sees it, hunters like this are hacks, imposters, identifiable by a criminal, beer-soaked obliviousness to the sacredness of the wild.
"For a client to come in and take his first elk, to harvest an animal, that's as touching for me as anything," he says. "You know, American outfitters need to learn as much as we can from African game hunters. It's an incredible thing to be hoisted up and carried around after you've killed your first mature lion. We don't do that in this culture."
When, I find myself wondering, could a hiker be similarly celebrated? After he has walked the Appalachian Trail in sandals? Made it across Death Valley with a cracked Nalgene bottle?
With the exception of Becky and myself, everyone around this fire hunts. And when I tell them I do not, I see something unexpected on their faces: pity.

OUCH!! $250,000 !! Too bad Jeff Miner doesn't own anything, the Ball's will be lucky if they ever collect a dime from him. He's got a couple junker vehicles, not worth $1000 total.
Jeff, you can't even figure out who writes these comments about you? Past investors, do the math Jeff, as of September 21, 2012 you should have received your notification of judgement against you. Let's see, more than $250.000.00 owed to Mr and Mrs. Ball for fraud. What was it, $100.000.00 plus in civil damages and over $100.000.00 in punitive damages? Oh yeah, your innocent allright!
Surely you can't be so ignorant as to think all the persons writing their comments in this article have no knowledge of your slimy background. Oh and yes I understand you are being pursued for criminal actions also, in New Mexico and Colorado. The wheels of justice turns slow when you are a victim, but justice is finally catching up to you.
Better get busy hiring lawyers, you are going to need them. Don't worry your little brain about who writes these comments, worry about how your going to pay what you owe and how you'll do your time.
I would sure like it if all the people that have written on this page would reveal who they are. I and Theresa went through a Full New Mexico Trial over the purchase of Chama River Outfitters. That trial ended in the end of June 2012. As of today there still has not been a ruling in that trial. I would also like all of you to get your FACTS correct if you are going to slander me in public. I will wait your responses, and please write down your name if you are 100% sure of what you are talking about. As for the Former Investor, the fact is that Theresa and I have a court ordered Judgement in Mesa County Court that stipulates that you owe us several Thousands of dollars, and we have NEVER been paid a penny of that judgement. Now for the person that says we are Banned for LIFE in New Mexico, this is also false, my New Mexico License is fully intact and Valid. Again please know your facts. I stand here to defend my Family and Myself to this Slander and Defamation on my personal character. Please stand up and acknowledge yourself. Outfitters License in CO. is #2621 and NM is #4577 Now for the person that says don't rent or sell anything to us, reveal yourself and let Me know what you think we owe You. Thank You for your time Jeff Miner
Well it's about time that folks are catching on to these thieves !!! Yes, all of the above is correct. Horrible reputation in their community and across the country. Lie, steal, owe everone $, write bad checks. It's a wonder that Jeff isn't in jail yet..but he time is coming. ANOTHER word of caution.....NEVER rent to them !!!! not a house, a horse pasture, or even a storage unit....you won't get paid. Oh and if you sell them anything...get cash upfront.
Jeff and Theresa are the biggest scammers in the outfitting, guiding, educational and equine business I have ever found. As an investor who met Jeff and Theresa, they thrive on those who need to live an exciting life and have money to invest and pray on those whom have an existing business and want to or are ready to retire. If you come in contact with these bottom feeders, run like the wind. They are predators.
They NEVER tell the truth and will someday receive their penance for their actions.
They are thieves, liars, predators and the lowest form of flesh that exist. Contact the above Cache Creek outfitters, any citizen of Collbran CO., the Colorado Outfitters Assoc., the New Mexico Outfitters Assoc., their convictions in New Mexico where they have been banned for life from hunting, guiding and outfitting.
AGREE 100% Jeff and Teresa Miner ARE complete phony LIARS. BEWARE. Jeff will lie thru his teeth and then go to church and tell more lies. And then his lovely wife Teresa will totally back up his lies.
Complete scammers who are run off of every outfit they work for.
Agreed, they are the biggest fakes! How about Jeff being a Deadbeat father who owes over $100,000.00 in back child support and has been running and hiding for years! Check out New Mexico Court website they were being sued for Verified Complaint for Breach of Contract, Civil Fraud, Conspiracy, conversion and Tortious Damage to Reputation not to mention they were outfitting without a license! Check out the Chama Rivers website, there is a disclaimer about doing any business with Jeff Miner! Be careful doing business with him he is not trustworthy!
Jeff and Theresa miner are the biggest fakes in the outfitting industry. Call cache creek outfitters in New Mexico,or the Colorado Outfitters Association...they cannot be trusted whatsoever


text: When i first heard about the trade, I thought, "Well that is it! Neal, Ribero, Ott, now Ryder? I guess we just do not want to have good players!" After we won of course I was all smiles, for a bit, and just started looking it over. Between Feb 28th and the end of the season the Stars are going to have 28 days. They play games on 15 of those days and have 13 days off. Is this a retool for more speed? You can argue that the speed lines will outpace the others down the stretch due to the fatigue. But then you could also say the speedier players may be more negatively affected by the long stretch of games. Either way everybody I'm sure has that kind of schedule at the end and we are going to see some tired teams. I think they are retooling for more speed in hopes of catching other teams when they are worn out.

2011-12 free agents list
sure it's early. and there are more pressing issues, like who are we going to face in the playoffs, and how are we going to fare against all four different opponents? nonetheless i would like to divert some attention toward some potential additions that become available this off-season. most are pipe-dreams, but it's not unreasonable to consider who we can sign with vet's minimum's and perhaps any exceptions we have. standouts to me include: jamal crawford ray allen glen davis boris diaw kurt thomas tyson chandler caron butler kenyon martin theo ratliff earl clark jason richardson grant hill samuel dalembert and of course tim duncan now, obviously, most of these guys are gonna go for the biggest pay day, and by and large that will come from the teams they currently play for. but a good showing by our knicks could prove to be the impetus for a change of scenery. especially if some of these teams become (or already are) frustrating to the players. its a lot to think about, and its nothing new. but always worth keeping in mind.

Your savory breakfast links:
- Recaps and other assorted musings from last night's shootout win from us (with quotes, and look for Clyde's pics later), Vogs, Monumental video (Oates, Holtby, Green, players), NHL.com, AP, SportsXchange, WaPo, WashTimes, CSNW (blog, Joe B), DCEx, Frankovic, Peerless, RMNB and DSP, and for the view from Long Island, New York Newsday, Islanders Point Blank and our SB Nation pals over at Lighthouse Hockey.
- So how did the new guy do in his first taste of Caps hockey? [RMNB]
- They may have won, but it potentially came with a cost, as Brooks Laich took a puck in the...er, nether regions... and eventually left the game. [WaPo, WashTimes]
- That shootout goal by Alex Ovechkin was pretty gosh darn sweet. [Caps Basketball]
- The Caps saluted the military at last night's game, which included an appearance by some members of the USA Warriors sled hockey team [Caps Outsider (and again), RMNB]
- More about the move that brought Martin Erat to Washington:
- Now that the dust has settled on the trade, it's time to do what we all do best: dissect and
over-analyze. [ESPN (and more on Forsberg), WaPo, WashTimes (and again), Sporting News, WNST, NBCW, Homer McFanboy, DCEx, Hockey Prospectus, Peerless, Mr. Irrelevant]
- The man himself talks about the move (and suits up for his first practice) [WaPo, WashTimes(and more from his new teammates), CSNW, Monumental video]
- ...as does Filip Forsberg, who was pretty shocked by the trade. Join the club, Filip. [Alex Ovetjkin, RMNB]
- Now that the dust has settled on the trade, it's time to do what we all do best: dissect and
- Erat's certainly not the first member of the organization - on the ice and behind the bench - to be part of a deadline deal. [Dump 'n Chase]
- Down on the farm, Tomas Kundratek has rejoined the Hershey Bears for the first time since December, and Michael Latta is set to join them for the first time ever. [PennLive (and again, plus Kundratek video)]
- The Caps are talking contract extension with Matt Hendricks. Hooray, more of the Paralyzer!! [WashTimes]
- Mike Green finally gets a haircut. Why? Because his helmet didn't fit. Sounds familiar. [Caps Outsider]
- Someone who won't be getting a haircut anytime soon - or at least cutting the hair on his face - is this fan, who refuses to shave until a DC team wins a championship. Make your own jokes. [Bog]

Powering the Astros to their first-ever postseason series win, Beltran hit a solo home run off Braves starter Jaret Wright in the third inning and again in the sixth, giving the Astros a 4-2 lead in an eventual 12-3 win in the winner-take-all Game 5 of the National League Division Series.
That second shot gave the Astros 28 total runs in the series, an NLDS record, and they went on to total 36 runs on 58 hits, another record. The previous record holders were the 1995 Braves, who scored 27 runs on 51 hits in their three-games-to-none win over the Dodgers.
Beltran, meanwhile, enjoyed the first-ever multi-homer postseason game by an Astro. With four home runs in the series, he set a franchise postseason record.
When Jeff Bagwell homered off Chris Reitsma in the seventh inning, it gave the Astros 11 homers in the series, tying the 1995 Yankees and Mariners for the all-time Division Series record. Before this year, the NLDS record was seven, by those same '95 Braves. Beltran's four hits and five RBIs in the game set Astros postseason records.
Stats all, folks
A look at the key statistics from the Astros-Braves NLDS.
Team stats
Who was hot?
Who was not?
Behind the numbers
Jeff Kent finished the series with a .227 average, but he did go 2-for-5 on Monday to finish strong. What doesn't show up in the box score is his surprisingly solid defense at second base. In Game 5 he made a slick play to retire Charles Thomas in the sixth inning, helping reliever Chad Qualls work a 1-2-3 inning. The Astros then broke the game open in the top of the seventh and Kent contributed an RBI single.
Frozen moment
Finally, a post-series celebration in the Astros dugout. They were 0-7 in previous postseason series.
Slick move
Pitching on three days' rest, Roy Oswalt pitched four innings on guts, and manager Phil Garner let him slog his way through the fifth to get in position for the win. Rafael Furcal led off the inning by slugging Oswalt's 90th pitch of the game for a solo home run that cut the Braves' deficit to 3-1. Oswalt retired the next two hitters, then surrendered another solo home run to Johnny Estrada on pitch No. 98.
Still, Garner stuck with his 20-game winner, even after Oswalt walked Andruw Jones to bring up Adam LaRoche, whose three-run homer tied Game 4 and sparked the Braves to a win. LaRoche crushed a 3-2 pitch to straightaway center field, where Beltran caught it at the warning track to end the inning.
Opportunities for knocks
Wright retired the Astros in order in the fourth inning, snapping Houston's streak of 20 consecutive innings with at least one baserunner. During the streak the Astros scored 16 runs on 28 hits and 13 walks.
Last word
"What a feeling, baby! What a feeling!" -- Right-hander Brandon Backe, popping the cork off a champagne bottle Monday night. Backe will likely be tabbed for Game 2 of the NLCS

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - With a slumping economy, some businesses are suffering or being forced to close their doors for good. People are simply spending less money and unemployment is up.
But even with the current economic situation, Georgia just might be one of the best places to stay in business or open up a new one. A new study ranks Georgia as the third-best state for business. A new Albany entrepreneur hopes that ranking rings true.
In the bustling area of Ledo Road, dozens of cars roll by. That's where new businesses are popping up and owners are hoping drivers will stop in. "It's been a little slow with the Summer," said Cindy Horne.
A fairly new shopping center on Ledo Road is where you'll find Cindy Horne. She's new to business ownership. "A little over two months now," said Horne.
It was hard work, but she's now the face and name behind Cindy's Gourmet To Go. "Went back to school and got my culinary degree and decided this is what I wanted to do," said Horne.
Pre-made entrees is what she does and she's hoping it sticks with customers. Business ownership is a risk, especially when the economy is in question. "It is a worry. It's definitely a worry and when you have slow days you just think about what you're going to do and it makes you work harder to get people through the door," said Horne.
A new study by Development Counselors International actually found that Georgia is the third best state to operate a business. That's based on the labor market, operating costs, and pro-business climate.
"You have your hit and miss nationwide but here in Georgia you have a very strong pro-business climate because of the Governor's initiatives, the entrepreneur friendly communities," said Thelma Johnson, President/CEO of Albany Community Together, Inc.
The city of Albany has plenty of resources to help. Albany Community Together helps to provide financial opportunities and guidance. "From writing a business plan to understanding the financials and going to the bank and asking for the loan," said Johnson.
Johnson says right now is actually a good time to pursue business dreams in Georgia. "Because anytime you have a down economy, it gets back to what makes this country so great and that's entrepreneurship. During the industrial revolution, people were willing to take a risk to create new opportunities," said Johnson.
Horne hopes a first earned dollar she now has in a frame will grow leaps and bounds. "I'm taking baby steps right now," said Horne.
As she takes those steps, she's hoping customers will meet her halfway.
Texas and North Carolina topped the list. Tennessee and Florida rounded out the top five. If you'd like help opening up a small business here in Albany, you can call ACT at 229-420-4600.

This paper describes the journey and discusses the approaches of enhancing faculty teaching competencies (CDIO Standard 10) for the Diploma in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering at the School o
The CDIO™ INITIATIVE is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The framework provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have adopted CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome-based assessment. CDIO collaborators recognize that an engineering education is acquired over a long period and in a variety of institutions, and that educators in all parts of this spectrum can learn from practice elsewhere. The CDIO network therefore welcomes members in a diverse range of institutions ranging from research-led internationally acclaimed universities to local colleges dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering.
Welcome to our newest CDIO Member Schools: Universidad del Quindio and Cherepovets State University, ChSU!
Publications from the 2nd International CDIO Conference in Linköping, 2006, has now been recovered and uploaded to the knowledge library.
2nd edition of "Rethinking engineering education - The CDIO approach" is now available! Find it on amazon.com or Springer.com, ISBN number 9783319055602
This paper describes the journey and discusses the approaches of enhancing faculty teaching competencies (CDIO Standard 10) for the Diploma in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering at the School o
Faculty enhancement is a big challenge, if not the greatest, when implementing a CDIO curriculum or any student centered/active learning approach.
National accreditation standards and international agreements redirect the thrust of engineering programs towards a "competencies" based education.
In 2011, the Industrial Engineering program at the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción began implementing a curricular reform based on the CDIO approach.
This paper describes a new graduate level educational initiative based on the modified CDIO syllabus proposed by Crawley et al [1] at the 2013 CDIO Annual Conference.

Fort Lee taking a big hit from budget cuts
Fort Lee and the region is taking a big hit from automatic federal spending cuts that started March 1.
The economic impact for Fort Lee is about a $85 million hit and translates into furloughs for many civilian works at the Army base.
The cuts could result in furloughs equaling 20 percent pay cuts for a "high percentage" of Fort Lee's more than 2,600 civilian workers on post. Cuts at Fort Lee could account for about 58 percent of the Army base operation funding that would be cut by $146 million in Virginia if the spending cuts take place starting tomorrow.
Like the rest of the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense, the post is planning for a 22-day furlough of Army civilians that would cost employees 20 percent of their pay.
The furloughs are not expected to start until late April and would continue through the end of the fiscal year.
There are 2,624 Army civilians at Fort Lee who could be furloughed; 632 of those are with the Garrison and the remainder are Department of Defense civilians employed with other organizations on post.
And the economic impact of the cuts will be felt outside the fences of the military base. The military cuts would be compounded by a reduction in federal impact aid to school divisions, including in Prince George County. School divisions apply directly to the U.S. Department of Education to replace lost revenue from families affiliated with the military that live or work on federal property and are not subject to the same local taxes.
Based on 2011 aid numbers, Prince George County schools received $4 million. While most federal aid to schools has already been received, that is not the case with impact aid.
As a result of the looming cuts, the Army has been preparing itself to sustain operations in the face of significant fiscal uncertainty. Locally, as part of that effort Fort Lee implemented a civilian hiring freeze with the exception of critical positions, curtailed civilian training and education, curtailed non-mission essential travel and reduced facilities maintenance to levels that provide only for life, health and safety requirements.
Fort Lee is also reducing budgets unrelated to pay across all offices and directorates as part of an effort to achieve at least a 30 percent reduction in base operations and support compared to levels from Fiscal Year 2012.
Thankfully the cuts entail furloughs instead of layoffs. But that will not make it any easier on those civilian workers facing significant cuts in pay for the fiscal year. And the region's economy will definitely take a hit as a result of the spending cuts at Fort Lee.

Mount Vernon Alum Sponsors Prom Dress Giveaway
For many teens around the country, the senior prom is a highly anticipated rite of passage. It is a time for teens to celebrate and cherish the last days of high school with their peers before going on their separate ways into the real world. In this time of economic uncertainty, some teens are unable to participate in this tradition as the expense of prom tickets, limos, dresses, tuxedos, and other prom necessities mount onto an already tight budget. Over 30 Mount Vernon high school teens were relieved of some of this expense as they participated in an evening of glamour, giveaways and inspiration.
On May 20 Mount Vernon High School hosted "A Prom Giveaway" to provide over 300 prom dresses to its high school seniors. Mt. Vernon High School alum, State Farm agent Tony Bragg sponsored the event in partnership with Macy's, Bloomingdale's and GoSmallBiz.com. The event was the brainchild of Tony Bragg and colleague Laura Francis who also grew up in Mount Vernon. The teens were assisted in picking out a variety of dress styles before finally choosing their dresses for the big day. The soon to be grads expressed joy and excitement as they searched for the "it" dress for prom, "I'm excited and I appreciate this event. Some people can't afford dresses or wouldn't know what to wear to prom. The dresses provided here are really exceptional" said Vannessa Higgins after finding her dress. Some parents attended to help their daughters find gowns; one parent Nadine Staggers also expressed her appreciation, "This is really beautiful what they're doing here for the seniors. I wish I had this when I was a senior!"
Vendors such as Avon and Diva Designs by Monica were also in attendance offering skin care, make-up and hair styling tips and demonstrations in preparation for the prom. In addition to picking out free dresses, the teens participated in raffles for the chance to win free dress shoes, handbags, and jewelry to complete their prom ensembles. Teens were given handouts with prom safety tips as well as a list of vendors which would provide discounts to tailoring and grooming services for the students for prom night. Monetary donations were be used to provide discounts to the teens for tuxedo rentals.
The evening not only prepared the teens for prom night, but provided them with food for thought and inspirational words for the future. Speakers such as Hilary Shepherd of Serv Pro of Scarsdale/Mt. Vernon, Mayor Clinton Young and Carolyn Jones on behalf of Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson encouraged the teens by promoting further education and told them to never give up. Despite economic hardships felt by all participating businesses, the sponsors and vendors pitched in for the greater good and showed support for some of Mount Vernon's up and coming community members.
"We wanted to give back to a community that had given so much to us," stated Bragg. Tony also encouraged the students to follow through on serving their community, asking them to pay it forward by returning the dresses after prom so that others may be able to use them next year. Tony Bragg plans on bringing this event back to Mount Vernon High School next year.

Take a look at Mark Reynolds over the last month:
Last 28 days: .215/.340/.430; 5 2B; 4HR; 16BB/26K
Last 14 days: .250/.348./.570; 6BB/12K; 4 2B; 3HR; 2SB
Last 7 days: .267/.421/.667; 4BB/4K; 3 2B; HR
Reynolds is a threat when he is driving the ball and there has been concern that he has sacrificed power for selectivity, but if he can manage to remain somewhat selective and continue to drive the ball when he makes contact, we're cooking with gas. Perhaps his numbers over the last week are most encouraging, given that they have come at home and his numbers at OPACY have been sort of brutal this year. For those of you that care about such things, his season BABIP is an unbelievably low .235, but over the last 28 days it has been .265, which takes into account his .300 BABIP over the last week and a .280 BABIP over the last two.

The players learn ballet moves with guidance from star dancers of English National Ballet and choreographer and dancer Jenna Lee. In the main sequence, first team players Alex Song, Wojciech Szczesny, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Bacary Sagna arrive at stately Brocket Hall where they meet four ballerinas. After highlighting the contrast between the two types of warm-up routines footballers and dancers use, the players then try some ballet steps, helped by the ballerinas. After an intensive training session, the footballers and ballerinas perform together, before bowing to Citroen's DS5, getting into the car and driving off.Jules Tilstone, Marketing Director at Citroen UK, commented: "As the Official Automotive Partner of Arsenal Football Club, we have already created a number of successful joint campaigns. With this project, we wanted to take their top class footballers, renowned for their refined style of football, and put them into a new environment that would redefine their sporting talents. It was a fantastic experience working with the Arsenal players and English National Ballet's dancers in this way - a unique opportunity to bring together two contrasting worlds with individuals who are all at the top of their game."Vinai Venkatesham, Head of Global Partnerships at Arsenal Football Club, commented: "Our players really enjoyed the shoot, and the chance to demonstrate that their qualities of strength, agility, balance and focus are just as much a part of ballet as they are in football. We're really pleased with the end result, which we feel utilises our partnership to complement the positioning of the DS5 in a novel and engaging way."The New Citroen DS5 is available with a choice of four Euro V engines - THP 200, e-HDi 110, HDi 160 and the new 200hp diesel electric Hybrid4. The first production Citroen fitted with diesel hybrid technology, DS5 Hybrid4 models deliver CO2 emissions from 99g/km and fuel savings of up to 35% during urban driving. The system offers financial benefits to both retail and business customers. The sub-100g/km model is exempt from the London congestion charge and, for business users, the BiK tax rate is 10%.Prices for the Citroen DS5 range start at £22,400, rising to £32,200 for the range-topping DSport Hybrid4.
