I'm actually really, really glad this guy isn't our GM (anymore). Every day he reminds me that things could be much, much worse.
So first the T-Wolves acquire Al Jefferson when his value couldn't have been higher, then sign him to a ridiculous contract (even though he was clearly just the second best player on a mediocre Celtics team).
Then, Al gets injured, Kahn (who seems to know very little about actual basketball) decides to make an inexplicable offensive philosophy shift that doesn't favor Al's style, and makes him look bad on the court while he's trying to recover from surgery.
Then, Kahn makes it known to everyone in the league that he's shopping Al, even though his value couldn't be lower.
Then, Kahn signs an obscure European former second round pick to play center (for more money than he could be paying DeMarcus Cousins or Greg Monroe if he had just drafted one of them) and re-signs the dictionary definition of the word "bust," Darko Milicic. Both guys help to essentially further phase Jefferson out.
When Kahn tried to clumsily dangle Al, Jonny Flynn and picks for Granger and #10, he denied ever doing it, then insulted Larry Bird for offering (presumably) Murphy and a pick for Jefferson (a much more fair deal).
Then, Kahn couldn't get anyone to sign in Minnesota. Not Rudy Gay. Not David Lee (though they did have "serious talks," which are about as consequential as serious kisses on the cheek).
Then, Kahn made a trade to get Michael Beasley, upping the number of post players on the team to at least seven, not counting Jefferson.
Then, Kahn decided that he really wants Eric Dampier's non-guaranteed contract for Jefferson.
(For those who don't know, Dampier is non-guaranteed, meaning that once a team that trades for him acquires him, they can cut him and shave his cap number-$13 million-immediately off their books without waiting for him to expire).
So to recap: Kahn can't get any free agents to sign in Minnesota, despite obvious efforts. He then spends his cap space on his own free agent (Darko) and a former 2nd rounder who just hadn't come over from Europe yet. Then he decides he wants more cap space, so he wants to swap a borderline All-Star for $13 million, even knowing, no, even HAVING BEEN SHOWN this summer already, that he can't spend the money now because no one wants to sign with his team. Huh.
My question is this (and bear in mind, I don't even like Al Jefferson that much): Why not just take the Murphy+pick for Jefferson (assuming it was on the table) if Kahn wants to get rid of Jefferson so bad? No one's going to sign in Minnesota. The only benefit to having cap space at this point in the summer is to take back a lopsided contract in a trade that will ultimately benefit some other team or yield Minnesota another overpaid player. At least Murphy can contribute in some way (unlike Dampier, for whom teams are just salivating to cut), and the deal would include a pick, which will most likely be good. I don't understand.
Maybe I should ask the fans over at Canis Hoopus. But then I'd have to join their site.

With all due respect to Gandhi, I am a WWE fan. I was weened on Stone Cold Steve Austin's middle finger and cut my teeth on Shawn Michaels' crotchchops.
Wait. That sounds worse out loud than it did in my head. Let's start again:
I don't cotton to "non-violent, civil disobedience." We pay good money and take time away from Monday Night Football commercials to watch the WWE. When things aren't going our way, we have a right to complain, and loudly. Let it be said that sometimes the heel wins. That's fine and good; in fact when done right it's great. No one complained when Triple H won a street fight and a Hell in a Cell match with Mankind/Cactus Jack back in 2000. Did we "boo"? Of course; you're supposed to boo the heel.
You're not supposed to boo the product.
Lately, fans have been growing restless. They see the guys they want pushed be jobbed out, marginalized and given little time to grow their audience.
Meanwhile, Batista happens.
This is not a new phenomenon: Back in 2006 Edge broke through the glass ceiling, after being a long-time upper-midcarder and fan favorite (beloved both as a babyface and heel), and won the WWE championship. Take your minds back to what feels like an eternity ago. Cena had won the title from JBL at WrestleMania 21. It was clear he was positioned to be 1B to Batista's 1A. Some might have even recognized the potential for Cena to be THE guy back then. Eventually his popularity could not be ignored and he moved to Raw in mid-2005, immediately launching into a program with beloved workhorse Chris Jericho. Spoiler alert: Cena won. That, coupled with Jericho's "retirement" caused a lot of fans to feel disgruntled. Cena then moved on to feud with another beloved veteran, Kurt Angle. Spoilerz: lolcenawins.
Now the fans are flat-out angry. And by the time Edge cashes in, as a full on heel mind you, and beats Cena, the division in the fanbase is solidified. Those too young to appreciate the days when Jericho, Angle and Edge carried the midcard with great feuds, entertaining segments, and classic matches naturally cheered Cena. The older ones were firmly in the camp of Edge.
Then comes the 2006 rematch at Royal Rumble. Keep in mind that after Edge won the title, Raw popped a 5 rating. That would have been laughable in 2000 but it was solid gold in 2006. Still, he defended his title against Cena and lost. Cena then went on to defend the belt at WrestleMania 22 against a guy who was far from an internet darling, Triple H. Here the first true fan-revolt broke out. The crowd booed Cena mercilessly, with men far outnumbering the women and children. By the time Rob Van Dam (another staple of the past generation and THE breakout star of ECW) challenged for the belt, the crowd of ECW faithful were so rabidly against him, many in the WWE were legitimately afraid for Cena's health. His loss created a new feeling, the anti-lolcenawins: It was "cenalossgasm." It was not to last, however: Cena continued to be the guy (and rightly so, he had all the things you want for the face of an organization).
The point is anti-Cena venom had given the fans the outlet to express themselves in negative ways. No longer did fans simply stay quiet when a performer they disliked appeared. Now the fans began to boo openly and revolt against the direction of the product they were paying for. For a long time this was confined to the anti-Cena crowd (with their "Cena sucks" retort to the pro-Cena women and children), but eventually the hostile crowds found a face for their movement. Edge was not it; he was a staple of SmackDown and had a good run helping to carry the B-show. RVD smoked his way out of potentially being that guy.
No, the guy the fans rallied around was CM Punk.
He was talented, versatile and charmingly sloppy in the ring. The opposite of Cena's cookie cutter moveset. He was sardonic on the stick where Cena played it safe. He was unpredictable where Cena was focus-group tested.
That summer of Punk was glorious but it did not make a new company face. It only made a new main event guy. Punk wanted more. The fans wanted more. Vince wanted Cena. So while we enjoyed seeing Punk featured more and more on Raw, and while we enjoyed his title reign and his outstanding heel work and his incredible matches, Vince was more than happy to give him to us. We were paying for it, after all.
Because Vince is the head of a big corporation, not a wrestling promotion.
With the news that Punk has taken an unplanned hiatus, you might think it selfish of Punk to decide to split (even if only for a short time) after a year+ run with the belt, an Undertaker match at WrestleMania, and a potential fight with Triple H to come. You might think he's too greedy, but for Punk it's not greed; it's ambition. He wants to prove he can be the best. So far all they've let him prove is he is the second-best. It's not about being number two to Cena's number one; Punk has said he likes being Savage to Cena's Hogan. Punk seemed to be fine with an on-again, off-again feud with Cena. Who wouldn't want the face of the company as their most famous rival? Such things tend to lead to big PPV matches and, ultimately, a WrestleMania main event. It happened to Miz for crying out loud. Miz! Surely Punk would get his big WrestleMania match with Cena...
Meanwhile Batista happens.
And the boos Batista heard at the Rumble and the Raw after (and hopefully more Raw shows to come) is the product of a crowd that has been trained by Punk-love and Cena-hate to boo what they don't want. And they don't want Batista.
Actually they want Daniel Bryan, a guy who -- with good reason -- has yet to be mentioned in this article. Bryan represents the solidification of what began with boos for Cena and cheers for Punk. With booing Cena, the fans merely expressed what they didn't like in relation to the alternative (Edge, RVD). With Punk the fans had a wrestler they could cheer for while also booing the guy they didn't want. Bryan is the first guy to receive that kind of reaction (and surpass it even) since Punk. Dolph Ziggler got a good pop when he won the world title, and others have had their moment in the smark sun, but Punk, and now Bryan, are a cut above the rest. With Bryan, WWE brass can't say the fans revolting is just a "Punk phenomenon." It's now a movement. It's now the norm. Get used to it Vince, the fans aren't going to take it anymore. We're going to vocally and stubbornly support the guys we want to see. Even if we have to hijack a show to get it.
Meanwhile, Batista happens.
And Batista represents what Vince wants: to pop a buyrate, to get a quick ratings boost and to look like a company of mega stars in advance of the TV negotiations and launch of the WWE Network. He cares about the bottom dollar. And while that's smart for the head of a company, it's a short term solution that brews a long term problem: the fans are restless. They don't want Batista, and they're not the sheep they used to be. They are going to let Vince know they don't want Batista.
Punk, it seemed, had been successfully moved aside to make room for Batista. But while Vince and co. were working (and writing and re-writing) on how to sidestep the fans desire for "D-Bry", Punk had been slowly growing more and more frustrated. Having to watching a true superstar come in and take what he felt was his WrestleMania spot two years in a row is one thing. Rock is certainly among the elite in WWE history. Having to watch an out of shape, fan-rejected Batista do it? That's something else.
So while all eyes were on Daniel Bryan, while Vince and co. were scrambling to contain his popularity into something they could control (imagine how stupid that is!), Punk walks out. Now the rumors are that he has not "quit" but will be taking a sudden and unforeseen leave of absence to heal up and rest. Call it what you want, but when you walk away from a WrestleMania payday, I don't care how much money you have saved up, you're not just taking a break.
Punk is walking away. He may come back this summer. He may not come back ever again. I'm sure Vince and co. will be working on a nice new contract for him to be signed before the Payback PPV comes to Chicago, but what more can you offer Punk? He has gotten everything he wanted except for what he really wanted. That Stone Cold moment where you win the Rumble, kick off a road to WrestleMania story (that is actually the main program), and climax with a title win at the big dance.
So here's where the "hostile takeover" comes in. Punk is gone, and who knows for how long. In the meantime it seems Bryan is stepping into his place as the thorn in the side of Triple H. Fine. Please continue to cheer YES and DAN-IEL BRY-AN to your hearts content. Let the powers that be know that he is what you want.
But also continue to cheer for CM Punk. Chant his name whenever Vince or Triple H is on screen...or when they're not. Cheer it at house shows. Cheer it during commercials. Cheer it during Divas matches and Randy Orton promos. Cheer for CM Punk. Not the tired, directionless, unmotivated babyface we've had to watch for a while now. No, cheer for the brash, anti-authority, ubertalent that won us over long before he blew a kiss to Vince at Money in the Bank 2011. Cheer for the man who has given everything he had to a company that has continued to take him for granted.
Monday Night Raw is a three-hour show. They can't keep hiding Batista forever. So please continue to boo him too. Make Vince sorry he spent whatever he did to secure the rights of "The Animal". Boo everything you are dissatisfied with, and boo loudly. I'm not talking about the stupid cheers for JBL and Michael Cole, or the random Randy Savage chants in the middle of a good mid-card match. I'm not talking about doing the wave. I'm talking about hijacking the show and getting the message out to viewers that there are wrestlers who you actually want. There are matches you actually want to see. Vince knows we're hooked; we'll keep buying the shows even if the main event is Orton vs. Batista. What we can do is make it painful for him until he finally gives up and gives us what we want.
It's time for the fans to truly take over the show we pay to see.

Premier League spending controls - what does it all mean?
Updated 11:02am Friday 8th February 2013 in Sport
What do the new spending controls for Premier League clubs actually mean?
Q: Will the Premier League now have a salary cap?
A: Not in the strict sense of the word. Clubs whose total wage bill is more than £52million will only be allowed to increase their wages by £4million per season for the next three years.
Q: So the likes of Manchester United are limited to a £4million a year total wage increase?
A: Not quite - the restriction only applies to the income from TV money. If clubs boost their income through extra sponsorship deals or matchday income, they can spend that on wages too.
Q: What do the new financial fair play (FFP) rules mean and which clubs will it effect?
A: These will put a ceiling on the amount of losses each club can make to £105million over three years, but these have to guaranteed by owners.
Q: How does that compare to UEFA's FFP rules?
A: UEFA's are more stringent - losses over three years are limited to 45million euros (£39million).
Q: Which clubs fall foul of the £105million losses over three years figure?
A: On the most recent figures, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa have all reported higher losses than £105million, but the trend is towards cutting losses and this will not apply until the three years before 2016.
Q: If a club's official annual figures show losses of £110million, will they automatically be in breach of the regulations?
A: Not necessarily - spending on academies, facilities and stadiums can be offset.
Q: What will happen if a club is found guilty of breaching the salary and spending regulations?
A: They are likely to have a points deduction.
Q: Has the final decision now been taken by the Premier League?
A: The principle of the regulations, and the figures involved, have been agreed. They do still need to be ratified at a meeting in April however.
Q: Is that just a rubber-stamping exercise?
A: It will probably go through - but the vote could not have been closer with only 13 of the 19 votes cast in favour, just scraping past the necessary two-thirds majority.
Q: Why did some clubs viewed as being well-run and not making losses vote against the regulations?
A: Some of them believe the Premier League should be a free market, are proud of the way they have run their clubs on a sustainable basis and resent being told what to do.

Every decade has its own style,
and the 80s really had its own. From miniskirts to parachute
pants and everything in between, something really went awry with
our fashion sense during that decade. Make up was no exception.
All About the Eyes and the
Cheeks - A Case Study
First and foremost there was
just way too much of it. The girls of the decade literally
"painted" their faces on. The two defining makeup elements in
the 80s face were bold eyes and blush meant to
accentuate the cheek bones. The more noticeable the
eye shadow and the heavier the blush, the better you looked as
far as 80s fashion was concerned. If your face didn't look
halfway clownish, you hadn't quite achieved the look yet.
Amazingly, the 80s makeup look
is making a comeback. Read more about the
80s makeup trends of Winter
picture to the right of 80s music and fashion queen, Cyndi Lauper, has a
lot of great elements to point out, relating to makeup as well as 80s
fashion in general. Notice the very heavy use of bright pink blush
in combination with the heavy eyeliner and orange eye shadow. On
the fashion side, she's got the top over the shoulder thing going, lots
of bangles and even a black lace fingerless glove on her right hand.
On the hair side, she has the big, teased and off to one side do down
The Eyes - A Closer Look
were tons of eye shadow colors in heavy use throughout the 80s, but the
color most associated with the decade is the god-awful electric blue
stuff. What in the world were we thinking? The eyeliner, in particular,
was worn in abundance and on the inside. Surely you remember gently
pulling the bottom of your eye down to achieve the most complete
coverage. Nothing says 80s valley vixen like tons of blue or teal
eyeliner rimming the inside of your eyes. (By the way, if planning for
an 80s party, you are going to want to employ this eyeliner trick – it
has an instant transformative effect). Bright blue eye shadow along with
a bold secondary color (as shown with orange to the left), heavy
eyeliner, colored mascara – let's just say it was the complete opposite
of the "natural" look that's so popular today.
we're talking about eye makeup, let's discuss an alternate use we found
for eyeliner in the eighties. Before the 80s, having a mole wasn't
something to be proud of. Then we fell in love with Madonna and suddenly
everyone wanted one. Weren't born with it? Not a problem. Buy a stick-on
or simply draw one on with brown eyeliner. Did it look good? Heck no!
But come on, it was the 80s! Our totally bodacious babe shown
above demonstrates both an excellent example of a blue and orange eye
shadow palate along with the faux eyeliner-based facial mole. As
they say in the movie Better Off Dead,
"lookin good, lookin real good."
Men in Makeup
Even men (well, some men) got in on the
art – Twisted Sister comes to mind. Really, lots of male rock
stars got in on the makeup thing; check out
or Alive's "Brand New Lover" video as a great example.
To sum it up, the 80s makeup bag
contained a tube of paste-like cover-up, a bottle of heavy foundation, a
pressed-powder compact, eye shadow (in a rainbow of luscious colors), a
few eyeliner pencils (blue, purple, teal), a couple of blush compacts,
an entire mascara collection and a bunch of bright lipsticks in shades
of red, pink and orange.

I'm sensitive to the fact that most people work hard every day and rarely get any state award for it. Journalists, on the other hand, have the opportunity to win a variety of awards for the work they do. The media can be obsessed with awards when the real honor we receive every day is our readers choosing to open the paper or click on the Web site.
Nonetheless, I'm proud of our staff for winning what may be the Victoria Advocate's first Sweepstakes award in the 130th annual Texas Press Association contest. Those who have been at the 164-year-old Advocate much longer than I can't recall the newspaper taking the top honor before.
What's particularly gratifying is this honor reflects the hard work and talents of so many in the building. From our first place in advertising to Aprill Brandon's first for column writing, the awards spanned the range of what a newspaper and Web site attempt to do each day.
The Advocate won 10 awards in only 14 contest categories, competing against newspapers of up to three times our size. In Texas, that's a bigger accomplishment than about anywhere else.
The biggest reasons for an editor to care about awards are recruitment and retention. Good journalists want to come to and stay at a place where high quality work is valued. Awards don't mean much if you pursue them at the expense of doing all of the little things such as compiling honor roll lists (see Sunday's paper) that never garner judges' attention.
In my view, the Advocate has a good blend for a medium-sized newspaper of award-winning journalism that makes a difference and the everyday coverage that connects the community. Of course, we can always do much better, and we're only as good as today's edition. We have only to spot the latest typo or grammatical error to be appropriately humbled.
You will always be the real judge. And for those out there who don't get an opportunity to have your peers around the state stand up and salute you, I hope you'll let us know about what's special at your workplace. We want your Advocate to be the place where you're honored for the work you do every day.

Diver sustains broken leg off Riviera Beach
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - A man broke his leg while diving near the Palm Beach Inlet on Tuesday.
When the victim was injured around noon, his dive boat promptly took him to the Riviera Beach Marina for medical care, according to Coast Guard officials.
However, 18 other divers with the boat were still in the water at the time. A second dive boat was dispatched and picked them up without incident, according to the Coast Guard.
The Riviera Beach Fire Department treated the injured man at the marina. He was later taken to the hospital.

70-year-old Manchester man arrested at Hooksett Walmart on concealment charge
On Sunday at 5:03 p.m., Hooksett police officer Justin Sargent responded to Walmart on Commerce Drive on a report of a customer concealing items, and spoke to an associate who pointed to an older man who allegedly had been hiding items in his pants. The man, Theodore A. Banks, 70, of Manchester, was asked if he had any items on him that he did not pay for, and allegedly turned over items from his pockets that were not from Walmart.
During a search of Banks' person, Sargent located numerous items inside his pockets and placed Banks under arrest for willful concealment. Banks also had a warrant out from Hooksett police for his arrest for willful concealment from two prior incidents.
He was bailed and released on $13,000 personal recognizance bail, and ordered to appear at Hooksett Circuit Court on April 10 for arraignment.

Technical Details
This backdoor program attempts to connect to a remote IRC server. It also attempts a Denial-of-Service (DoS) exploit on any machines it finds with an open Microsoft-ds (Directory Service) port.
During installation, the following files are created:
- %windir%\system\wmisvr.exe - Copy of the backdoor
- %windir%\system32\drivers\sysdrv32.sys - Detected as Worm.Win32.AutoRun.ezt
While active, the backdoor attempts to connect to a remote IRC server:
- sec.republicofskorea.info:8084/TCP
The backdoor also iterates the IP address and looks for available systems with an open Microsoft-ds port (specifically, tcp 445). If a vulnerable machine is discovered, the backdoor breaches the targeted machine's Windows Firewall, a form of Denial-of-Service (DoS) exploit similar to the notorious MS04-011 vulnerability.To protect the backdoor, the WMISRV Service is stopped when the debugger program Ollydbg is launched; this protective action makes the debugging process more difficult.
The backdoor edits the Windows Firewall Policy, to allow it to function as an authorized application.
- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List C:\WINDOWS\system\wmisvr.exe = C:\WINDOWS\system\wmisvr.exe:*:Microsoft Enabled
It also sets two malware launch points as services:

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- A children's safety equipment manufacturer has agreed to recall about 220,000 infant travel beds after reports of one infant's death and nine others entrapped or distressed while sleeping inside the portable tents.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall in cooperation with KidCo Inc. after determining that infants could roll between the Pea Pod Travel Cribs' air mattress and tents' fabric sides, raising the danger of suffocation.
KidCo is offering kits to address the hazard. The kits include supports that strengthen the sides of the tent and a thinner air mattress. KidCo president Ken Kaiser says the kits prevent the pocket from forming.
The safety commission's chairwoman, Inez Tenenbaum, encouraged parents to get the kit, particularly during the holidays, when parents are likely travel with children.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – As Hemlock Semiconductor prepares to open its Clarksville location, the company is planning a career fair to hire employees for the new location.
The career fair will be held next Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Montgomery County Civic Center located on Pageant Lane in Clarksville.
The Hemlock plant aims at making Tennessee a leader in solar energy. It will produce materials used to build solar panels.
"We are looking for front line people, people who come in and they are working with the poly that will eventually go into solar cells," said Hemlock Manager Mike Tendler.
"When they attend this event, potential job candidates can get accurate information about Hemlock Semiconductor's hiring process," Human Resources Manager Laura Lambeth added.
Most of the hiring for the 500 job positions will begin in early 2011.
"We are looking for people who are career minded, who will come in and work hard and work their way up through the company," Tendler said, adding, "I think there is a terrific base of talent here in Clarksville, and that we are going to do really well up here."
The $1.2 billion facility is scheduled to open in late 2012.

With The Rivers trade and the large amount of young LBs that are on the Giants' roster, do you guys think it would make sense to move Sintim to RDE? He played as a pass rushing OLB in a 3-4 in college(IIRC) so he has pass rushing skills. It would be kinda like a reverse Kiwanuka (LB to DE as apposed to DE to LB). He hasn't done much at LB so far in his career and the younger guys seem to have more promise than him. Just a thought.
What do you guys think about that?

Amir Khan recently gave a great example of, as one person put it to me on Twitter, why "British fans hate Amir Khan so much." Khan spoke to BBC Sport and his ego was on full display:
"Pound-for pound, I'm way ahead of all the other British fighters, and I think people know that," Khan told BBC Sport. "[US broadcaster] HBO think I'm the best British fighter, the most skilful and the most exciting to watch."
... "Anybody who knows anything about boxing will go crazy for this fight, it's an exciting fight with two big-hitters and Judah's fought some big names - Kostya Tszyu, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Angel Cotto - and is a five-time world champion."
A few things:
- As the BBC mentions, Carl Froch might have some disagreements about the pound-for-pound issue.
- I'm not sure people do know it, as Khan isn't even on Sky Sports over some petty disagreement about the mess made with the McCloskey card in April.
- If I know anything about the rest of the world at all, it's that they love when you prop up the United States as the center of good taste and intelligence. I'm American and all, but, well, we ain't. HBO has "thought" a lot of things over the years.
- I really, really hate when someone pulls "anybody who knows anything about boxing." It's so cheap and lame. It's up there with, "You wouldn't say that to (x's) face!!!"
- As an aside, I love when people use "Miguel Angel Cotto," as if he's ever really called that.
Mostly I'm just amused by Khan. I've always liked his skills, but there has been something about him from the get-go that I didn't much enjoy, and this is a big part of it. He's incredibly smug. Always has been. Even when he tries not to be smug, it comes out sooner than later. And it's not that he should change or feel bad about it, it's just how he is. But it's easy to understand why people just don't naturally take to the guy. He's not exactly Ricky Hatton.

The best way to deal with Super Bowl hype is to turn everything into a baseball story. The Star-Ledger obliges with a nice, in-depth piece on Tom Brady, almost Expo:↵
In what was Hughes' last, best pitch to sign Brady, he met him at Candlestick Park when the Montreal Expos were playing the San Francisco Giants, put him in an Expos uniform, and introduced him to Rondell White and F.P. Santangelo, who led him onto the field to take batting practice.
Candlestick. Expos. Can't believe he passed up that sort of glamour for a life of supermodels and Super Bowls.

The Savannah River is over flowing and causing many folks in the Tillman section of Jasper County to evacuate, according to emergency management officials.
The river has risen to 18.37 feet, according to the director of Jasper County Emergency Management, Wilbur Daley. On Wednesday night it received three more inches. This is the highest the river has been since 1993.
"There's a possibility that it will get higher," said Daley.
The flooding is due to all the recent rain that the area has received.
Daley and other emergency officials went door to door Thursday trying to convince those who haven't evacuated yet to do so.
"It's over the banks now on the South Carolina side. It is affecting 15 houses in this area," he said.
Families living in 14 of those houses did evacuate, but one homeowner didn't want to leave.
Tom Goethe Road, Sand Hill Road, and Clyo Road are the only areas affected by the flooding at this time. As the river continues to rise, officials say more areas may flood.
Jasper County is working with South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources, and the Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah.

We kick off our countdown of the best games featuring Florida in 2013-14 with a rarity...
Will Muschamp and a slew of Florida players talked to the media on Monday. The best quote from Muschamp: "The only stat that matters is winning."
In our second video review of the win over Tennessee we're going to look at some more Tyler Murphy, a little Matt Jones and a nice defensive play.
Let's take a look back and recap some the worst moments from Saturday's ugly matchup between the Gators and Vols.
A 6-pack of players will sit, and a spiffy new helmet for the Midnight Blue and Gold
Florida's sensational 2013 class is almost full, but a pass rusher is still on Will Muschamp's wish list. Will Elijah Daniel or Chris Jones fill that spot?
Chomping at Bits: Kenny Boynton, Jacoby Brissett, Louisville and the NFL
The Gators added two massive offensive linemen to the roster as well as a defensive lineman.
Junior college defensive tackle Darious Cummings committed to Florida over the weekend.
As Tomahawk Nation first reported, linebacker Jeff Luc will transfer from Florida State.

It's been 28 months since the UFC last visited my home city of Chicago. UFC 90 featured a lackluster main event between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and overmatched challenger Patrick Cote, Josh Koscheck filling in as a late replacement for Diego Sanchez against Thiago Alves, and Junior dos Santos announcing his presence in the heavyweight division with a shocking knockout of then-title-contender Fabricio Werdum.
Despite a solid gate (UFC 90 took in more money at the arena than UFC 87 in Minneapolis and UFC 88 in Atlanta), the UFC has yet to return, instead making multiple trips to locales like Philadelphia, Montreal, Vancouver, and Newark instead. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, that may change this summer:
"We're looking at dates for this summer," UFC president Dana White told the Sun-Times.
White said nothing is set in stone, but his remarks were the strongest indication for Chicago fight fans who are hungry for the UFC's return.
"It's tentative, but it's lightly penciled in," White said.
The article mentions that the UFC is looking at the United Center to host the event (UFC 90 took place in the All-State arena in suburban Rosemont), and that the venue has open dates in July and August. The UFC event wiki page indicates that the organization has venues booked through the August 27th in Rio with the exception of a UFC on Versus show planned for June 26th.

Diner Reviews
We finally strayed from having the
usual sushi which is so good it's hard to stay away from. We had a variety of dishes, all very small so you need quite a few but they were all delicious. The brussels sprouts are the best I've ever had. The taster menu is the best and worth the expense. Love this place."

One of the most exquisite meals I
have had; bested only by Vegas' L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and NYC's Le Bernadin. Small wonder one must look for the 3-week window and make a reservation at that time. Each item is 8 or so different tastes that taste great together. Service as fantastic as the food. We'll be back."

Oh man I had the best birthday

Awesome food and an amazing staff.
Our waiter, Matt, was very passionate about the restaurant and the food. Each dish was brought out by a different staff and they all had that same passion."

The food at Uchi is beyond
EXCELLENT!! Every dish we ordered, and we ordered many to share at our table, was unbelieveable! The 'Foi Gras'is a MUST!!! I haven't had foi gras as good as that since Paul Bocuse's restaurant in Lyon, France. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!"

Uchi was incredibly delicious. It
was kinda neat to pull up to what is essentially the old Felix Mexican restaurant site on Westheimer & Montrose. We made an early reservation (6:00pm) and when we arrived we were seated directly with no wait. Great wait staff. I think about 7 different people delivered our food and each and every person was knowledgeable and explained what we were about to indulge in. We went with the suggested 6 course deal ($91.00 for two of us was plenty of food and included dessert) where we trusted our waiter and out came some stuff that I have never heard of but all of it tasted so amazing. I was so amazed. The pacing was perfect and we stayed for 2 hours. Come visit Uchi and eat probably the best food anywhere"

The edamame was grilled with an
excellent smoky flavor. Hama chili was bursting with citrus flavor with a slight kick! Walu walu was extremely flavorful and a group favorite! We also ordered the zero sen and the spicy crunchy tuna which were enjoyed as well. One individual ordered Unagi and said that it was some of the best he had. We could not stop raving about the crispy brussel sprouts - we ordered seconds! With every delivery, the staff explained every piece of the dish, including details of preparation and recommendations for method of eating, as appropriate. We did not need to use soy sauce one bit, as it seemed it would take away the flavor of the items ordered. Great evening. We'll return!"

Went here to celebrate my
partner's birthday, and the entire experiences exceeded my expectations. We shared the signature tasting menu along with a few other dishes. The Norwegian eel was great, and make sure you get the dessert with fried milk. I also appreciated how attentive all of the waitstaff was. Sometimes when you are served by multiple waiters at a restaurant, it feels impersonal, but at Uchi, each and every person that came to our table took the time to ask how the food was, explained each dish, and suggested the best way to enjoy each bite (which sounds way more obnoxious than it was). Will definitely be coming back to try the omakase tasting menu."
Dined on 1/14/2013
My experience at Uchi was amazing.
The food was delicious, unique, and amazingly prepared and plated, and our server, Ryan, was excellent. We decided to go with the "trust your waiter" option where our server essentially brought us out his recommended dishes to us until we decided we were full. We indulged in 12 dishes and each was amazing. On top of the wonderful food, our server was extremely knowledgeable and was constantly attending to us. All in all, it was an amazing dining experience. Can't wait to go back!"

We went to Uchi Austin years ago
and loved it. So we were very excited when we heard that Uchi was coming to Houston. Took my husband for his birthday, had a great time, went back with friends. I love that they don't rush you. The 6 and 10 course meals are fabulous and I love the Hot Rock Scallops and Beef. And I never leave without having the brussel sprouts, which are amazing."
Dined on 1/12/2013
Uchi lives up to the hype! The
service was wonderful and the food was incredible. We had a reservation but ended up having to wait about half an hour. We were having a drink at the bar while we waited and DID NOT COMPLAIN, look annoyed, or even ask what the extended wait was about. With no prompting one of the hostesses brought us each a glass of champagne and apologized for the wait. Then after we sat down we were given an item from the menu to apologize again for our wait. Truly great service! Our server was knowledgable and personable. And then, on top of all that, the food was deathly good. I LOVED everything. If I had time, I would eat here twice a week."

Definitely one of the best
restaurants in Houston. They are not kidding when they say "Everything on the menu is great" Can't wait to try more items, making reservation is the difficult part."
Dined on 1/9/2013
Always a great meal experience.
Although we found that the more expensive chef's tasting was not better than their regular tasting. You don't come here for regular sushi. You come for their creative and amazing combinations that just wow your mouth. The happy hour menu is amazing and worth getting there as doors open. If you are like me dessert doesn't do much for you but at UCHI please please try them. Blow you away good!"
Dined on 1/9/2013
Everything we tried here was
outstanding. Even the soy sauce was unique and tasty! Didn't know what I was eating half the time but it was all delicious! Pricey but not over rated and a good value for the exquisite flavors and quality of sushi. I'll def be returning here!"

Best service I have had at any
restaurant anytime, anywhere. Servers were very knowledgeable of every dish, and had great recommendations."

Excellent Omakase menu option. We
really enjoyed it and the variety of sake is just as refined."
Dined on 1/7/2013
Just amazing! This was our second
time to Uchi and we love this place. The food is amazing, the customer service is awesome. Our first time, we picked a few items to share between 6 people and it was a great experience. This time we trusted our waitress to pick out her favorite items, for sharing between 4. OMG! It was amazing. I wish I could recall the waitress's name but I was distracted by the sake and delicious food. We left with full bellies, yet I truly wanted to continue tasting. I'm already planning my return, 1 week seems like forever. Uchi I miss you."
Dined on 1/5/2013
This would have to have been one
of if not THE best meal i have had EVER!! and that's saying a lot since my husband and i pride ourselves on being foodies. We have eaten all over the world in some of the loveliest restaurants, Uchi just went that little bit further :) have now made a regular booking with them and plan on being there at least once a month."
Dined on 1/2/2013
the food is inspired and inspiring
Japanese cuisine. You won't find the menu dominated by the usual fare of tuna or salmon (although they have these as well, but nestled amongst so many other . Highly recommend the fried brie with apple chutney, the sea bream sushi, foie gras sushi, wagyu beef hot rock, bacon tataki, and the peanut butter semifreddo. However, what prevents me from giving five stars for the food is that the yellowtail with yucca chips (on the cold tastings menu) looks sloppy and has a confusing taste profile, while the sake salmon nigiri slices have no sake taste whatsoever and is rather pedestrian. Both were way overpriced for their quality and uninspired nature. But, I'd highly recommend this place."

Since it was my first time there,
me and my husband tried the 10 course meal. The sushi was not good. Although the sashimi with the tangerine was very good. The salad was our favorite. But everything else was not worth the money. Our server was very nice and informative. Ambience was chic and and lively. My husband liked the Uchi in Austin better."

Dined on 12/28/2012
Truly phenomenal experience! The
service is stellar, the waiters are all so friendly and knowledgeable. Although we had one main waiter, the dishes were brought out by a variety of servers; each was friendly and described in detail the dish as they set it down. We went with a 6-course chef selection and each item was fantastic. I loved everything. I would recommend trusting the server to order for you and just enjoy the experience of trying a bunch of different menu items. This place isn't cheap, but it's worth the experience. I really enjoyed the food."
Dined on 12/28/2012
We very much enjoyed our dining
experience. Our server, Nora, was excellent. On the down side, it was raining, parking (valet) is behind the building with not so short a walk to the from door. Instead of valet taking our car when we first pulled into the driveway (a little closer to the entrance), they motioned us on up to their tent!"
Dined on 12/27/2012
Fantastic meal. I was with a group
of 4. Thanks to our server's recommendation, we ordered one of everything on the happy hour menu and then shared the six course tasting plus a few extras for our fourth person who does not eat sushi. The servers worked as a team, so drinks stayed fresh and as soon as we finished one dish, another was brought out and described. Enjoyed everything. Standouts for us were the walu walu, flounder sashimi, bacon otoshi, zero sen, eggplant, machi cure, and a hot rice dish with yellowtail and egg cooked at the table. Most of these are on the happy hour menu, which is a great deal. The hot rock wagyu beef was another fun experience. And of course, the brussels sprouts, which the server referred to as "Uchi crack"."

Uchi - Houston is one of my wife
and my absolute favorite restaurants in Houston. The tasting menus are excellent, and the service is top quality."
Dined on 12/27/2012
My reservation changed at the last
moment (extra people), and the staff at Uchi was very accommodating. The waiters were knowledgeable and made for a wonderful experience. There is not a lot of room to wait indoors, so that can be uncomfortable."
Dined on 12/26/2012
Had the ten course tasting menu.
Fantastic. Every dish was prepared with an attention to detail that was appreciated. Desserts were over the top good. One of the best eating experiences I've had in Houston in a long time."

Great as always! We had great
service, the food was excellent and the atmosphere wonderful."
Dined on 12/22/2012
As usual, a perfect meal was had
at Uchi. Highlights this time were the wagyu beef dish and the peekytoe crab. In fact, the last couple of wagyu beef variations on their daily menu have really been spectacular. There's always something new, exciting and thought-provoking at Uchi. We couldn't have picked a better place for a birthday dinner. Kaz is a rock star in the kitchen and Ryan is a rock star on the floor. Happy holidays!"
Dined on 12/22/2012
Fabulous waitress who took control
of our order and made the night for us. She just brought us new dishes to try while we enjoyed our company. Every dish was fabulous!"

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) -- Thomas J. Nettles, professor of historical theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary since 1997, is retiring from full-time teaching after 38 years in the classroom.
Nettles' teaching has involved "areas which I have thought are important and even critical for the health of Christianity and for the health of Baptist churches," he told Southern Seminary Magazine as the spring semester comes to an end.
"I have sought to help students become better pastors by helping them to understand the critical truths that churches have been built upon in the past."
Before joining the faculty at Southern nearly 17 years ago, Nettles spent 21 years at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mid-American Baptist Theological Seminary and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
Donald S. Whitney, now a fellow professor at Southern Seminary who was among Nettles' students at Southwestern, has since developed a decades-long relationship with him.
"Tom has shepherded me countless times, both when I was pastoring and during the past 19 years as a professor," Whitney said. "On so many occasions when I was burdened, I made my way to Tom's office, where he always welcomed me, listened as long as I needed to talk, offered counsel and prayed with me."
Nettles' students can attest that his classroom is a place of joy and song. A gifted singer, he often breaks spontaneously into a song or hymn.
He is renowned for a particular song, Whitney said, recounting, "No matter how many classes you have had with Tom Nettles, you've never really had him as a professor until he has sung in class 'Ya Got Trouble' from 'The Music Man,' a musical in which he played the lead when he was in college."
Whitney is but one of many for whom Nettles has served as a spiritual father during his decades in the classroom.
Tom Hicks, pastor of discipleship at Morningview Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., studied under Nettles as both a master's and doctoral student in the early to late 2000s at Southern. Hicks and Nettles have developed a deep friendship over the years.
"Dr. Nettles has been faithful to shepherd students both inside and outside of the classroom," Hicks said. "I remember that he often began classes by reading Scripture and having prayer. He would then sometimes lead the class in singing an old hymn. After singing, he would show how rich theology and worship had been tightly interwoven."
Tom Ascol, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Fla., was a student at Southwestern in 1979 when he first met Nettles. Their families have since developed a deep friendship. Nettles nearly took a pastoral position at Grace in 2007 but decided to remain at Southern.
"Tom has a pastor's heart and considers his teaching ministry to be pastoral work," said Ascol, who is also chairman of Founders Ministries. "He has encouraged me countless times through the years by giving me biblical counsel, offering needed but at times unwanted rebuke and correction, and challenging me to think more biblically and carefully about knotty pastoral issues."
Nettles, however, never planned on being a seminary professor.
He attended Mississippi College, a Baptist school, and then moved on to Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
Nettles entered seminary during a tumultuous time in the Southern Baptist Convention over the question of the inerrancy and inspiration of Scripture. The Lord would eventually insert Nettles and a fellow Southwestern student, Russ Bush, into the front lines of the denominational battle.
During his second year as a master of divinity student, Nettles accepted the challenge of a moderate professor to defend biblical inerrancy in a class session. The experience was pivotal to his ministry future.
Nettles eventually completed a doctor of philosophy degree in historical theology, still at least partly convinced that his future lay in the pulpit of a local church.
But in 1976, Southwestern hired him to a teaching position in the history department. In 1980, Moody Press published the landmark study by Nettles and Bush on the historic Baptist view of Scripture, "Baptists and the Bible." The book crystallized and strengthened the case for inerrancy as they showed how thoroughly Baptists had adhered to that fundamental doctrine in the past.
Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr. said Nettles is a legendary Southern Baptist professor, citing his crucial role to the SBC's Conservative Resurgence.
"When he and Russ Bush penned Baptists and the Bible, they put to rest the argument that Baptists had ever held historically to anything other than the total truthfulness and trustworthiness of the Word of God," Mohler said.
"At decisive moments in Southern Baptist history," Mohler said, "[Nettles] has stood for the faith of those who founded our Southern Baptist Convention, and he has been a winsome and deeply convictional advocate for those beliefs."
Nettles also has written important books on Baptist ecclesiology, catechisms and the place of Calvinism in Baptist history.
"Tom Nettles is a formidable scholar," said historian Gregory A. Wills, dean of Southern Seminary's school of theology. "His Baptists and the Bible, co-authored with Russ Bush, and 'By His Grace and for His Glory' have had wide influence and established him as a Baptist scholar of the front rank." By His Grace and for His Glory argues exhaustively that Baptists are theological heirs of the Protestant Reformation.
Wills also commended Nettles' recent biographies of James P. Boyce and Charles Spurgeon as "remarkable achievements."
"The breadth of his command of the historical documents of the church across 2,000 years has amazed me many times," Wills said. "Most impressive, however, is the fact that his scholarship has always been in the service of the church's gospel mission."
Describing Nettles as a "masterful classroom teacher," Mohler said the full reach of his classroom "will never be known in this life, for there will be many people around the world who will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ because of his influence on the lives of those who will take the Gospel to the nations."
"I have always wanted what I've done to be serviceable to the church," Nettles said. "I've wanted it to be something that can be taken by our students who are going into the pastoral ministry and be used for the glory of God and the clarity of the Gospel and the good of their churches."
Jeff Robinson is a freelance writer who earned a doctorate in historical theology under Nettles in 2008. James A. Smith Sr. is executive editor and chief spokesman at Southern Seminary.
