Although I have big access to all kinds of softwar
Although I have big access to all kinds of software, finding a proper one for my personal use becomes an annoying thing sometimes. That's because I see only the bad things from a software or maybe because I know that there should be a better one undiscovered yet. One of these examples, that really surprised me was Fraps. A tiny but very powerful software. With the help of Direct X and OpenGL technology, this software can capture in realtime any video source from your desktop, can save screenshots in BMP, PNG, JPG formats and can be used also as benchmarking software.
The main reason I searched for this software was the need of a very good capturing program, especially for games. I was using SnagIt, which is a very good capture program, when you want to capture forms, windows, scrolling windows, web pages, but with problems when you want to capture almost any game that uses DirectX. That's because a lot of the latest games don't support the Alt+Tab command anymore. So I began to search for a software that doesn't have these problems.
Fraps manages all these problems by saving the captures directly in to any folder, without any prompting message or any preview screen. This can be done by using hotkeys which can be activated from the main interface. You won't feel anything wrong in the game while you make these screenshots.
The same goes with the video capturing. This represents the best part of this appllication. The game will not slow down a moment (unless you have a really weak system), and the resulting video file has an astonishing quality. And this while I was running a game at 1280x1024 resolution. The reason of all these is because the application won't use any compression tool for capturing the video. It will be saved in a pure AVI format without compression. You won't get any framed clips and the sound will match prefect with the image. The bad part is that this uncompressed AVI file will use a huge space of your harddrive. After any capturing session, you should use a conversion software for compressing the file. The easiest one would be Movie Maker which is already integrated in your system as a component of Windows XP OS.
Fraps can be used also as a Benchmarking Software, by monitoring the frames of any game. The FPS counter can be displayed on the screen along with the game. The statistics can be saved on your disk for further analyzes and reviews.
Pluses:can capture video streaming with sound; can save screenshots in BMP, PNG and JPG formats; use of hotkeys; can show FPS on your screen while you are playing; high quality video capture;
Drawbacks / flaws: Although it's a very good software, its price seems to be a little too high.
In conclusion: If you can close your eyes to this price, FRAPS will fullfill your expectations.

I'm going to examine two slightly related historical events. Both concern a pair of NFL QB's. Hopefully, there is something to be learned from each episode.
The Chiefs currently have two veteran QBs on their roster, Matt Cassel and Kyle Orton. The Chiefs are going to need to make a decision on which QB is best suited to be the starting QB. Hopefully, Mr. Pioli will have studied his NFL and Chiefs' history, and learned something about such decisions. I assume he has already pumped Jim Zorn and the other coaches as to the strengths and weaknesses of our two guys.
The first story I want to relate involves a QB, one Drew Brees. He was originally drafted by the Chargers. His rookie season was '01. By '04 he was well established; in fact, he played in the Pro Bowl in '04. In the meantime, The Chargers drafted Phillip Rivers. Brees was disgruntled, and played out his option , and signed with the Saints after the '05 season.
The second story involves a QB named Rich Gannon. Gannon began his career with the Vikes, and then spent a season with the Redskins, before signing with the Chiefs in '95. In '97, Chiefs' GM Peterson traded with the 49'ers for QB Elvis Grbac. Gannon and Grbac jockeyed for the starting QB position for a couple of seasons, before Gannon became disenchanted with the situation in Kansas City (Grbac was seemingly the front office's "Golden Boy), and moved west to the Raiders.
One might ask what value these two long-past episodes have for the Chiefs and us loyal fans? I wrote this cautionary tale for the benefit of both us loyal fans, and Mr. Pioli and the Chiefs' Braintrust. Do you suppose the Chargers' fans might wish the Chargers had been led to the Super Bowl by Drew Brees? How about us Chiefs' fans? Wouldn't it have been significantly more enjoyable to have watched Gannon win a Super Bowl wearing Red, and Hey! Wouldn't it have been enjoyable to have watched Grbac go to the Raiders, struggle for three years, and then be gone from the game?
The Chiefs' braintrust has to be very careful in how they handle our QB situation. I would hate to see Orton go to Miami, or Chicago, or wherever, and win a Super Bowl, while we kept Cassel & rejoiced in our mediocrity. Now, I could be wrong. Perhaps Cassel will be the one to win a Super Bowl. Maybe Orton will only last a couple of seasons. My point is, we should make every effort to sign Orton. Cassel is untradeable until camp starts. Let Cassel & Orton fight it out in camp. Keep the best QB. If you can, trade whoever is #2. Please, Romeo, please Mr. Pioli; get it right this time!
(Note: if the formatting doesn't take this time, I will discuss the issue with my friend Jose, & may never post here again)

Not-for-profit housing giants in £145m merger
12:00am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News
A MERGER of two not-for-profit housing giants sees a new organisation in control of Andover's former "council houses".
The Aster Group, which has local offices in Andover, has pledged to deliver even better "value and quality" to over 75,000 customers, including building affordable homes in Hampshire, after successfully merging with Synergy Housing based in Dorset.
The merger creates a £145 million turnover not-for-profit business, with assets of over £1 billion and employing more than 1,500 staff spread across Hampshire and six other counties.
The new group has 75,000 customers, many of whom were originally tenants of Testway Housing or Kennet's Sarsen Housing Association which were created through the process of Large Scale Voluntary Transfer in the 1990s.
It will manage more than 27,000 affordable homes through its businesses Aster Communities and Synergy Housing.
It will also carry out 60,000 repairs and maintenance jobs a year through Aster Property and provide care and support for around 20,000 customers through Aster Living.
And the new group's development business Aster Homes will build around 600 new homes each year from 2013, for open market sale and for rent as affordable housing.
This means Aster Group will be able to build around 1,500 new affordable homes across the south and south west over the next three years.
Bjorn Howard, chief executive of the enlarged group, said the merger meant the new group would be "bold and brave" where it could "make a positive difference" to local communities.
He said: "By running a financially strong and growing business we can focus on putting customers at the heart of everything we do.
"This merger is a clear sign of the support we have from our staff, our many business partners, our lenders, and our tenants and other customers."

Part of Rambis' quote in Strib about Love and Al's ability to play together. Still early, but it doesn't sound like he's convinced an elite team can start them both.
"They'll get better together as time goes by," Wolves coach Kurt Rambis said, "but when you compete against some of the elite teams, basically they're both power forwards. And you could argue they're on the small side of power forwards. They don't have the height or the length or athleticism that a lot of power forwards have in this league."
To compensate, Rambis said the Wolves have to pass the ball and execute their offense.
"That's when we're at our best and lack of size doesn't seem to hurt us," he said. "It shows, and becomes glaring, when longer teams can reach right over the top of us to secure defensive rebounds. They don't even really have to jump. They just can get their hands on the ball. That's something our team will have to learn, how to block out."

Janae Burich scored 23 points and Hannah Linz hit four three-pointers as North Dakota State defeated Oakland University 78-65 in a Summit League women's basketball game played before 419 hearty fans in the Bison Sports Arena.
North Dakota State (2-2 Summit League, 4-11 overall) posted its first win over the Golden Grizzlies (1-3 Summit League, 5-8 overall) since Feb. 4, 2008, at OU. Oakland had won the last seven meetings in a row.
NDSU hosts Dakota State (5-7) at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4.
Burich, a 6-foot-4 junior from Roseville, Minn., connected on a career-high 11 of 16 field goals. Burich only had two double-figure scoring efforts in NDSU's first 13 games put together a pair of the last two contests.
Burich's biggest play came on defense after Oakland erased a 44-35 deficit to tie the game at 44-all with 10:53 remaining on a Bethany Watterworth leaning jumper. Watterworth led OU with 19 points.
North Dakota State's Dani DeGagne hit a pair of free throws in the bonus situation with 10:25 remaining. The Bison shot a season-high 23 of 26 for 88.5 percent from the foul line.
Burich stretched her long frame to gain a steal on the next trip down the floor, then flipped it to Jamie Van Kirk, who then went the distance to put the Bison ahead 49-44 at the 10:06 mark.
DeGagne's free throws, the Burich steal and Van Kirk layup were the start of a 17-2 Bison run. The Golden Grizzlies didn't recover.
Burich led a group of four NDSU players in double-figures. Van Kirk scored 15 points and added four rebounds, and Linz netted 14 points and was 4 of 5 from three-point. Abby Plucker scored 10 points, snared nine rebounds and had six assists. Plucker made 8 of 8 from the foul line.
Oakland shot 44.9 percent from the field compared to NDSU's 42.9 percent. However, the Bison held a 36-28 rebounding advantage and committed only 10 turnovers. NDSU also received alert play from Danielle Muri, Britney Gaines and Catavia Jones.
Zakiya Minifee netted 15 points for Oakland, while Brittany Carnago added 10.

The Scouts could also be wrong about Ryan. Outside of getting his team to the playoffs what has he been able to do there?
I agree thats not "bad" but he hasnt won anything in the playoffs. Hes had pretty solid teams around him. Every year since 09 they have been SB contenders. At what point do you point do you point fingers at him and say he cant win in the postseason?
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
The Scouts could also be wrong about Ryan. Outside of getting his team to the playoffs what has he been able to do there? They have been a contending team for a few years now and if Ryan is supposed to be a top 5 pick, shouldnt he be able to win these playoff games with the solid teams he has played on? We can say their pass D hasnt been all that great but they have been able to generate pass rush. Have been able to run the ball effectively and have had really good WRs on their team. But why arent they winning in the postseason? Whats the reason?
Yeah, and Natty Ice is real "clutch". GTFOH.
in the two playoff games last season he went 54-77, 70.1%, 646 yards, 6 TD, 3 INT, 1 sack, 105.2 QBR
And he lost. Just like Romo does.
Quote from: Boid Fink on July 13, 2013, 12:37:16 PMAnd he lost. Just like Romo does.Every QB but Joe Flacco lost in the playoffs.
Then why even compare Romo and Ryan? Way to try and deflect. They are playoff losers with mega talent around them. Fact. And if Flaccid Flacco loses, he gets the same rep. You are what you are.

Diabetes/Obesity (Metabolic Disorders)
Type 2 Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus type 2, is a disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough or properly use insulin. It is the most common form of the disease, accounting for up to 95 percent of diabetics.
While approximately half of Americans with diabetes are women (about 13 million, representing nearly 11 percent of the U.S. female population over age 20), the American Diabetes Association reports that one-third don't know it. Diabetes poses health risks that include cardiovascular disease; among pregnant women, the condition can affect the health and wellbeing of an unborn child, possibly producing obesity later on in childhood. Women with type 2 diabetes are frequently overweight or obese, underlying the link between obesity and diabetes.
Obesity is increasingly viewed as a serious and growing public health problem. Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose people to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis, among others.

A metabolic disorder is a medical disorder that affects the production of energy within individual cells. The main features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertension (high blood pressure), cholesterol abnormalities and an increased risk for clotting. Most metabolic disorders are genetic, though a few are "acquired" as a result of diet, toxins and infections. Patients are most often overweight or obese. Type 2 Diabetes, or diabetes mellitus type 2, is the most commonly known metabolic disorder.

Carolina Beach And County To Help Kure Beach Fund Beach Nourishment Project
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 07 July 2012 01:12
- Written by Super User
The Carolina Beach Town Council and New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted last week to help fund the 2012 Kure Beach renourishment project after state funding was eliminated from the budget.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
KURE BEACH - The Carolina Beach Town Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution Monday morning July 2, that will help neighboring Kure Beach to fund a beach nourishment project scheduled for later this year.
The resolution was adopted during a Monday morning emergency meeting. It states the Town of Carolina Beach has been fortunate to receive beach nourishment projects for almost 50 years and the Federal Funding Authorization for the Carolina Beach Project is set to expire in 2014. Officials with the Town, County, State and Federal government are seeking to have the 50-year project reauthorized.
The resolution states that Carolina Beach was fortunate to receive Federal funding of $4.4 million dollars and State funding of $1.18 million this year to "ensure that the Carolina Beach project is completed to at least a 66% template in what could be the last Federal or State funded cycle for the 50 year project."
The resolution says citizens, property owners, business owners and visitors significantly benefit from the storm damage protection that a healthy beach provides and, "A healthy beach strand provides secondary benefits such as jobs, economic stimulus, recreational opportunities and habitat for species that thrive along the coast."
Carolina Beach and Kure Beach have received simultaneous beach projects performed since 1997. The project was originally authorized as "Carolina Beach and Vicinity" which includes both Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.
The resolution states, "There are many advantages to renourishing all or portions of the Carolina Beach and Vicinity project with the most significant advantage to Carolina Beach being sand placed on the 3,000 linear feet of shoreline in Carolina Beach that is currently considered part of the Kure Beach project."
The Council agreed the Town is supportive of Kure Beach and New Hanover County's efforts to find a funding solution that would allow the Town of Kure Beach to move forward with beach nourishment with two possible funding solutions.
The first solution listed in the resolution is for Kure Beach and New Hanover County to continue seeking additional Federal or State funding that would equate to at least 17.5% of the cost of the Kure Beach project. The additional 82.5% of the project cost could come from the Room Occupancy Tax fund if approved by the County Board of Commissioners. That Room tax fund (ROT) currently holds $37.5 million dollars generated from taxes on hotels, motels and vacation rentals. The second option listed in the resolution states, "The Town, County and Kure Beach could seek to change the designation of the current State and/or Federal funding to include a direct transfer of the Carolina Beach project funds allocated by the State to Kure Beach or a change in the designation of the Carolina Beach Federal or State Funds to be applied to the Carolina Beach and Vicinity project in the amount of 17.5% of the cost of Kure Beach project so long as there is no additional cost to the Town of Carolina Beach."
During the Monday July 2, meeting of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners, Commissioner Rick Catlin explained, "We received some Federal money for Carolina Beach, but not for Kure Beach. We received some State money for Carolina Beach, but none for Kure Beach. We have an interlocal agreement with all of the beach communities where the County agrees to pay up to 82.5% of the cost for renourishment. If there is no State or Federal contribution then the local beach communities have agreed to pay up to 17.5%. We agreed to sign that this year."
Catlin explained, "The beach communities did not expect this to happen so soon that we would not get the State funding. We do have contracts in place with the State of North Carolina where they've agreed to pay 75% of 35% of the project. That's about 26%. We really were hoping that would continue and it didn't. They decided to only match Federal dollars. So we have some work to do in the General Assembly next year to educate folks that local contributions - that money is just as good as Federal money."
Catlin explained, "It put Kure Beach into a bind. So the Ports, Waterway and Beach Commission, we made three resolutions. And I'm going to do this without specific dollar amounts. We do try when working with the Army Corp of Engineers not to advertise to the bidders what the budget is because that tends to be what the bids come in at. The commissioners do have those numbers."
He explained, "What we recommend... that the sand portion of the room tax be used to pay the remaining portion of the Carolina Beach project which is less than 82.5%." He said that portion is actually 27.6%.
He continued, "Also to honor our interlocal agreement we made a resolution for the Commissioners to approve the 82.5% for Kure Beach. And then in conversations with Kure Beach and Carolina Beach, we've made a resolution for the Commissioner's to agree to - I'll say loan, but it's economic funding that gets paid back - to Kure Beach so that we will have the money in place to be able to write the checks to the Army Corp of Engineers this month. It could be any day now."
Catlin explained that he, Commissioner Ted Davis and Kure Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth recently had conversations with members of the State General Assembly, "To be able to have flexibility at reassigning that State contribution so that Kure Beach would not be on the hook for that 17.5%."
He explained, "Carolina Beach met today and agreed that if all of that works out that they would be willing to move that money to their friends and neighbors in Kure Beach which I think is an applaudable motion for the folks in Carolina Beach to do."
Catlin said, "That's not on our plate tonight. Our plate is to honor our interlocal agreement and make the contributions to Carolina and Kure Beach and then to fund/loan the remaining 17.5% to Kure Beach. Hopefully they will be able to pay that back in a very short period of time so we can get the projects moving."
He explained, "One advantage of doing both projects is the length and stability of a beach renourishment project is directly proportional to the physical length that is renourishment. And to get all of Pleasure Island renourishment and make it a very sustainable long lasting project and we don't want to miss that opportunity."
Commissioner Davis said, "When Rick and I got into this, we realized that in order for this to happen, the legislature had to approve it. That's the reason Rick and I went up to Raleigh and met with members of the House and Senate."
He said, "I'm not quiet sure where we are on that. I know it was passed by the Senate and it's in the house right now. So if it's passed before the house recesses, then we are on go. If it doesn't for whatever reason, of course we can take care of it when the General Assembly meets" in January.
Davis explained, "We will need to work out the terms and I want it to be just as favorable to the County and Kure Beach as possible. We are not here to make a lot of money off of our citizens in Kure Beach. I want to at least cover what the County would get if it was in the bank drawing interest."
Lambeth thanked the Board and said, "It's unfortunate that they didn't include 'and vicinity' when the federal and state people put this forward. We were caught off guard and we had to play catch-up and we really appreciate the effort that you and commissioner Catlin have put into this particularly with our people in Raleigh."
Davis noted time is short because in approximately two weeks checks have to be written to the Corp of Engineers.
Commissioner Jonathan Barfield said, "I know you run a pretty tight margin at Kure Beach and that you set your budget and looking at future funding, it probably won't come back. I know you all try to not raise taxes... to keep things as low as possible at Kure Beach. My question for you is, what is your long-term solution to this problem. Because I think you are going to need to have some type of a contingency fund in place to cover your 17.5% down the road as well as repaying the loan back to the county."
Barfield said, "I'm just caught off guard as to how this could have gotten lost in the shuffle with our local delegation understanding that this is one beach that needed to be funded here locally and why we just found out about it pretty much at the last minute after we've all passed our budgets?"
Mayor Lambeth said, "I think we all kind of scratched our heads at that. It was in the Governor's budget as Carolina and Kure Beach but never "and Vicinity." We were told it was in the budget and then out of the budget. They kind of kicked us around a little bit up there and our legislators had to go to bat for us."
Lambeth said, "As far as the long-term commitment, we have set up a fund in our contingency fund so we hope this will never happen in the future." He said, "We hope the money we put away, I think $75,000 a year, will cover this by the time we have another beach renourishment."
He said another project is scheduled three years from now and everyone is waiting to find out about federal re-authorization of the Carolina Beach project.
Barfield explained, "What I see here is a continued shift from the state and federal government to the local level and the thing I want citizens to understand is when things are cut out of the state budget it's going to affect those here locally. Someone has to pay for these services and these goods we are getting whether it's the state government or the local government. So what you see locally is an increase in your property taxes or reduction in services to cover the things that are needed. We no sand on our beaches is so important here as it drives our tourism. When you think about who you are putting in certain places those cuts affect real people and real lives and someone has to pay for them."
The County is preparing to hire a new position to work on the issue and promote better coordination between the County and beach Towns."
Commissioner Jason Thompson said he spoke with people staying at Kure Beach earlier in the day and they noted how important the beaches are to the economy.
Commissioner Catlin said, "Just in case the President is watching, or anybody in Washington is watching this, these are storm protection projects that save FEMA millions and millions of dollars anytime we have a storm. We're paying all of that locally now."
He said, "We have almost no damage in New Hanover County due to our storm protection projects... also when the federal government partnered with us they signed project cooperation agreements with us where they agreed to pay a certain amount. Their contribution is required to meet at least a three to one benefit cost ratio.
That means for every dollar they spend on one of our beaches the entire nation benefits three dollars in economic growth."
He said, "The state also partnered to do this and all of the State of North Carolina receives benefits from tourism and economic growth here in New Hanover
County and again we are paying almost all of it locally. That's the big battle is to get the message out to the State and Federal Government and maybe we'll give up on the Federal Government, I don't know. We need to partner, and if we have partnership agreements they need to be honored. Right now we are taking a hit in New Hanover County.
We have a strong
fund for the sand portion of our room tax but it can not sustain these kind of impacts year after year."
Lambeth said a study conducted by the University of North Carolina showed a return on investment for each dollar spent equals $336.00"
The Board of Commissioners voted to loan Kure Beach the funding with the details worked out at a later meeting.
Mayor Lambeth explained after the meeting the Commissioners voted to give the Town an economic development loan and the Town Council will have to meet to decide upon a fair interest rate to pay back that money. He said, "1% on the loan seems right" and the Council may take up the issue at their July meeting if not sooner.
Lambeth said the County, "Will still front the money before that meeting in order to write a check to the Army Corp of Engineers to get the planning and bid process started."


text: suggested that the Colts could be a landing spot for Plaxico Buress. That would be just outstanding and would make the offense virtually unstoppable!!!!!!! I think it would also be great insurance in case Collie goes down again with a concussion. Actually, I like Plax in the slot even if Collie is back. A WR corps of Wayne, Garcon, Plax, and Collie, with white and one of the young guys on the roster, would be outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Greenpeace: BP deal does not hold 'guilty accountable'
Today's announcement of a proposed settlement between BP and the US government fails every aspect of the commonly accepted notion of penalty.
This proposed settlement would not hold the guilty accountable for their actions.
This fine amounts to a rounding error for a corporation the size of BP.
– Greenpeace senior investigator Mark Floegel
This proposed settlement would not protect the innocent.
Nothing in this proposed settlement gives any oil company incentive to be more careful in future operations. Cutting corners and skimping on safety will still be the rule of the day.

Valdosta - A Valdosta chemical plant will shut down, putting 76-people out of work.
Officials with Arizona Chemical say the plant, which produces resin for the ink and coating industries, will close its doors at the end of next year.
The Jacksonville-based company plans to provide transfer opportunities and outplacement assistance for the workers.
They say the Valdosta plant, which was built in 1938, offered no opportunity for growth and could no longer produce products competitively.
All the products will be transferred to a plant in Savannah.

VATICAN CITY — The pope pressed his opposition to gay marriage Friday, denouncing what he described as people manipulating their God-given identities to suit their sexual choices — and destroying the very ''essence of the human creature'' in the process.
Benedict XVI made the comments in his annual Christmas address to the Vatican bureaucracy. He dedicated it this year to promoting traditional family values in the face of campaigns in France, the United States, Britain, and elsewhere to legalize gay marriage.

Everyone here on NetsDaily talks about the same handful of FA's - Wilson Chandler, David West, Arron Afflalo, Thaddeus Young, JR Smith, etc. Here are some 2011 free agents that have game, but are flying under the radar. They can certainly fill some holes we have on our roster.
I certainly believe Humphries deserves a multiyear contract as our starting PF next season. The Nets need to sign someone to back him up (affordability is key in this situation):
Jonas Jerebko (Restricted FA)
He had a very solid rookie season with Detroit, averaging over 9 points and 6 boards while shooting 48%. He's a scrappy kid who plays with 100% effort on every play. His motor and hustle would be a great addition to the NJ bench. He's been out this entire season after an Achilles injury, but DET has said he's 100% healthy now. They are very high on him, so I wonder how much money we'd have to give up to pry him away.
Josh McRoberts (Unrestricted)
People will probably jump on my back for mentioning his name, but he would be an affordable backup that can actually play. He has played well this season, as Frank Vogel is using him over Hansbrough at the end of games now. He is super athletic and can do a little bit of everything (shoot from the outside, handle the ball, rebound, etc.) Wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg, either.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (Restricted)
Although he is undersized, he's proven himself to be a very solid defender and teammate in Milwaukee. His toughness would be huge for our bench. Again, he's a favorite of Scott Skiles so I wonder if he'll be overpaid by Milwaukee. If he slips through the cracks, he could be a cost-effective signing for our bench.
Other noteworthy backup big men have been discussed on this site - Chuck Hayes, Reggie Evans, Carl Landry, etc. There seems to be the most options at this position.
No way to sugar coat it: Johan Petro is awful. Every time he checks into the game, I cringe. We need a cost-effective backup center to spell Brook:
Kyrylo Fesenko (Unrestricted)
He's young and very strong, and would be an upgrade over Petro. He played great defense for the Jazz last year during the playoffs. He will probably be a very cheap signing, and could be a diamond in the rough. He also played with DWill in Utah.
Kurt Thomas (Unrestricted)
Good ol' Kurt Thomas still can play! He'll probably want to re-sign with Chicago or another contender, but his toughness and intangibles would be the perfect compliment to Brook. We need a tough veteran center to battle with Brook in practice on a daily basis.
Obviously, it's our glaring weakness. The FA class, however, isn't very deep and promising at this position. Wilson Chandler would be nice, but will be expensive. Plus, he's had lingering ankle problems his entire career. There's a lot of aging veterans out there, like Tayshaun and Battier, who would be perfect fits IF their contracts are appropriate. Here's some other FA's who could be cheaper alternatives:
Reggie Williams (Restricted)
I saw him at the NJ-GSW game not too long a go, and this young man can really shoot. Imagine him and Morrow out there together with Deron running the show? We'd hit 10 threes a night! He's an upgrade over Outlaw, that's for sure.
Mo Evans (Unrestricted)
He's played well as of late, and would be a nice stop-gap solution at SF for a season or two. He'd also be very inexpensive. He plays solid D and can stroke the long ball. If a better option comes a long down the road, he'd slide over to the bench and give us solid depth on the wing.
Anthony Parker (Unrestricted)
See: Mo Evans.
Dominic McGuire (Unrestricted)
S. Graham will probably be gone after this season (please!) and we need to get the RIGHT defensive specialist for our bench. I think McGuire has potential to fill that role. He's a tweener that can really defend multiple positions. He'd definitely be affordable, and would be a very nice signing for depth purposes. Another Bobcat to look out for is Dante Cunningham. He's a decent player who would also be affordable for our bench.
DeMarre Carroll (Unrestricted)
Another potential defensive specialist that would be very cheap. He's long, athletic and active. Would be a solid depth signing (3rd string, can fill in for injured players once in a while).
Again, these signings will not transform us into the Lakers, but they will provide us with great depth and balance. There aren't any star SF/SG's available this offseason, so why overspend now? We can plug some of the holes temporarily and wait till top players become available in the near future. Solidifying our bench/depth would be huge this offseason, and would really help our overall play in 2011-12. Hopefully, we won't make the same mistakes again this offseason! LET'S GO NETS!

After weeks of waiting and some speculation on his status, LDT has signed a three year contract with the San Diego Chargers (story here). Terms were not immediately released, but the restructure will save the Chargers for an unmanageable cap hit and reunite Tomlinson with young speedster Darren Sproles. After weeks of public disagreement, the two sides agreed to quietly negotiate their deal, an agreement broken only by Tomlinson's mother publicly accusing the Bolts of disrespecting her son.
The Chargers also managed to bolster their linebacking corps, signing former Cowboys linebacker and special teams ace Kein Burnett (story here).Burnett comes from the 3-4 system run by Phillips, who installed a previous version when he was with San Diego. The Chargers expect a quick and seamless transition to their squad.

I have a picture of the Ravens for a reason other than I just like their jerseys. They have established an identity in this league as something, a Ravens philosophy. They came into the league fifteen years ago and they knew right away what they wanted to be a smashmouth kind of team. They wanted to be the intimidator, the team that always has the big hit highlights on ESPN and they showed that when with their first two selections in their very first draft they selected Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis. And I always secretly liked the Ravens. I always watch them, or Pittsburgh or Chicago or even Oakland to an extent and kind of think "Man, I wish Kansas City was like that."
I like that kind of football, I like those kinds of teams. I love watching teams with big, strong lines, hard-hitting defenses, and punishing running games that made opposing teams dread playing them. And not long ago Kansas City was one of those teams. We had the best, nastiest O-line in all of football, the perhaps the best blocking fullback in NFL history, and two badass RB's in Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson. Before that even in the early Schottenheimer era (that was my favorite era of Chiefs football) we were that kind of team. An Offensive line that outweighed most D-lines by an averaged of 30 pounds, 3 great blocking tight ends and Bill Jones at fullback leading the way for one of the biggest running backs in league history, the Nigerian Nightmare Christian Okoye, standing 6'1 and occasionally reaching weights in excess of 280 pounds, standing in the backfield with those gargantuan pads that basically made him like a brick wall coming at you, not a lot of defenses counted the days when they got to play KC's offense.
I loved those Chiefs, I couldn't wait to watch them. And though I loved the Chiefs last year too, they just weren't my kind of team. A shifty, spread, high-octane offense with a below average defense.
But just like that, we changed. Through injuries and the Chiefs newfound inability to score in the redzone, we had to adapt in order to win games. We became the team I always wanted, reminiscent of the Super Bowl team. In the last six-seven game (aside from the Jets game... Yikes), we had arguably the best defense in the league. No namers or supposed busts like Derrick Johnson, Justin Houston, Kendrick Lewis, and Tyson Jackson decided to play like Pro Bowlers. We became the intimidators, we dished out hits and made opposing offenses fear us. Mostly disliked fullback/halfback/special teamer Jackie Battle wanted a chance to show that he could play in the NFL as a runner, so Kansas City resorted to a physical running team like squads of the past.
Through all the mindless squabble trying to fill up space, I have a point. Kansas City has no identity, aside from maybe your prototypical "good guys" (leading the league in recipients of the Man of the Year award!). In the 70's, we were a defensive, pass-oriented team. In the 80's we had no identity, we were the scum of the AFC (we all know it's true). In the 90's we began playing Martyball, we dominated the game with pure, physical play but had no stable passing attack. And come the new millennium, we are everything and nothing. We began as the efficient offensive team, then went to a running team after Trent Green left and LJ emerged, then we went through the dark years of top 5 draft picks galore, a resurgence in 2010 with the help of some young stars named Eric Berry, Tony Moeaki and Jamaal Charles, and now we are whatever we are.
Teams like the Steelers, Packers, Browns, Cowboys, they've maintained a style of play basically since they were founded, Kansas City is nothing like that.
So, pointless garble aside, I have an actual question up for discussion.
What would like like this new decade, the 2010's, to be known for Chiefs football wise?

An early morning flight takes you to the lush rainforest of the Peten. Continue overland to the Chiminos Island Lodge, an eco-archaeological preserve in the forested Peten region. From your mahogany bungalow you're enveloped by the sounds of the jungle: parrots, toucans, and myriad other bird species share their song, while the uncanny roar of nearby howler monkeys adds a primal feel to the jungle. As the sun begins to set, we'll head out on a guided rainforest hike to see what wildlife we can spot.
The ruins of Aguateca are among the best preserved and restored Maya sites in Guatemala. We spend the morning here learning about the Classical Maya period before returning to the lodge in time for lunch. A three hour transfer by boat and bus brings us to the shores of Lake Peten Itza, where we settle in for the evening.
Tikal's towering pyramids rise above the thick jungle canopy like stoic sentinels of ancient mysteries. The ancient Maya began building this city around 600 B.C., and for the next 1500 years the area was an important religious, scientific, and political center. Pyramids to honor dead kings were built, administrative buildings rose, storage houses appeared and houses for royalty were carved out of the jungle. Tikal became one of the greatest centers of Maya culture and sprawled over 46 square miles with more than 4000 structures in the core city center alone. Today, the pristine forest engulfing the ruined city is home to howler and spider monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coati-mundis, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots and the seldom seen jaguar. This morning we explore the ruins with an experienced guide before flying to Guatemala City where we overnight.
Return home or continue your travels in Guatemala!

Big East PreviewPosted: October 6, 2012 Filed under: Big East | Tags: Big East, Cincinnati, Louisville, Notre Dame, Rick Pitino, St. John's, Syracuse, UConn 2 Comments
Thanks to Louisville advancing to the Final Four last season the Big East has had a presence during the final weekend six of the last seven seasons, you can probably go on and pencil them in for seven out of eight, Louisville fans and the media seem to think that the Cardinals will be there.
Realignment will begin to take its toll on the Big East as West Virginia is gone and Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame to follow in the years to come. Jim Calhoun has retired from his post at UConn leading the way for Kevin Ollie to take over. Steve Lavin is set to return to the sidelines after taking last season off due to prostate cancer.
Big East Preseason Rankings
1. Louisville – hard not to buy into the national hype. 3 starters return for Coach Pitino, as Peyton Siva guides the offense in his Senior season with help from Chane Behanan and Gorgui Dieng, and don't forget about Russ Smith (11.5 ppg, 2.2 steals in 21 mpg). The problem could be injuries, it seems every year the Cardinals have more players in the training room than the bench early in the year, and have already lost Mike Marra who torn his ACL for the 2nd time in as many years.
2. Notre Dame – for the past two years the Irish have exceeded expectationsso maybe I am a little too high on the Irish. However with all of the starters back for Coach Brey it's hard not to like the Irish especially when in the friendly confines of Purcell Pavilion where they went 16-1 last season.
3. Cincinnati – Mick Cronin seems to have the Bearcats back on the national radar. Yancy Gates is gone but Cronin has Sean Kilpatrick who led the Big East with 92 3-pointers. Cashmere Wright also returns after averaging 10.9 ppg.
4. Pittsburgh – Sure Pitt missed the NCAA Tournament last year, they ended the year poorly but capped it off with a CBI Championship (a win is a win).Tray Woodall will lead the Panther's who return five of their top seven scorers from last season.
5. Syrcasue – Scoop Jardine, Kris Joseph, Dion Waiters and Fab Melo have all departed but Syracuse has been so deep that they have players that return with experience. Brandon Triche will be ready to lead the Orange to what fans hope is a trip to Atlanta.
6. Marquette
8. Georgetown
9. St. John's
10. Rutgers
11. UConn
12. Providecne
13. Villanova
14. Seton Hall
15. DePaul
All Conference Team
Shabazz Napier – taking control for the new reign of the Huskies.
Sean Kilpatrick – if teams don't shut him down behind the arc the Bearcats may do better than expected.
Gorgui Diend – let's see a guy that can rebound, score and block shots, yeah I will give him a All Conference nod.
Tray Woodall – a healthy Woodall should do better than last seasons 11.7 ppg
Jack Cooley – after voted Most Improved last season, the Irish have high hopes for Cooley who average 12.3 points and 8.9 rebounds.
Most Underrated Team – Cincinnati, Cronin has his team bonding.
Most Overrated Team – Notre Dame, could the Irish just be riding a wave of recent success?
Player of the Year – Peyton Siva, last years MOP at the Big East Championship should win if the Cardinals run the conference.
Coach of the Year – Heart wants to say Steve Lavin, but my mind says Rick Pitino with Cronin in 2nd.
Sleeper Impact Player – 1a Cleveland Melvin, was the leading scorer in the league last season. I am going to say D'Andelo Harrison is 1b especially if Lavin has the Red Storm on upset mode.
Cincinnati, low to high this seasonPosted: March 10, 2012 Filed under: College Basketball | Tags: Big East, Cincinnati, Mick Cronin, xavier, Yancy Gates Leave a comment
December 10, 2011 marked a day that many college basketball fans in Cincinnati want to forget. With 9.4 seconds left in the game in the Crosstown Shootout a fight broke out causing the officials to end the game. The video that everyone viewed many times was one that showed a few punches being thrown by Yancy Gates.
It would have been easy for Mick Cronin to kick Gates off the team as well as others involved in the brawl. Instead Gates received a six game suspension, and the Bearcats were thought to be in trouble, pretty much left for dead with non-conference losses to Presbyterian, Marshall (in OT) and Xavier, most of those fears were valid.
A quote from Cronin that sticks out to me from the fight is one that should have foreshadowed the support he was going to give his players: "I understand there is media and people asking for autographs. It's a prime example of you guys thinking they are too important. I'm talking about everybody involved. There's too much glorification of all of sports in our society. The fact is guys are here the get an education. They represent institutions of higher learning. Xavier has been a great school for years. We're trying to cure cancer at Cincinnati. I go to school at a place where they discovered the vaccine for polio and created Benadryl. I think that's more important than who wins a basketball game. And our guys need to have appreciation for the fact that they are there on a full scholarship and they better represent institutions with class and integrity."
Cronin understands the college basketball concept, they are called student-athletes for a reason, and they are there to learn. They learn not only for basketball but for a career off the court and to learn about life. Gates learned that his actions were not appropriate; he suffered the consequences and learned that he has the support of his coach.
The team pulled together, won seven in a row before dropping a road contest at St. John's then pulled another three victories. Since the fight the Bearcats are 19-6, just pulled off the biggest win of the season vs Syracuse and are one win away from claiming the Big East Tournament Championship. Let me say that again, Cincinnati can win the Big East Tournament, after those early losses and the fight most Bearcat fans would have laughed at you if you told back in December that they would be in this position in March.
Coming into tonight's game Gates is averaging 12.3 points and 9.4 rebounds in 32 minutes, with 9 double-doubles. In the double OT win over Georgetown he played 46 minutes, put up 23 points and grabbed 8 boards. In the opener against Villanova he had 16 points and 9 off the glass. Tonight Yates went for 18 points and 7 rebounds.
The Bearcats stuck with Gates, and Gates has stepped up to the plate and has become the type of player Cincinnati needs to advance in the tournament.

Since last week it is safe to say that Kansas State, Purdue, Iowa State and Mississippi State are virtual locks to make it into the NCAA Tournament. With just one regular-season game left for most of the power conference teams, who is close to making themselves a lock for the tournament?
Northwestern: They missed their chance, two of them in fact. In the past eight days the Wildcats have dropped two gut-wrenching games to some top Big Ten competition. First came a 67-55 overtime loss to Michigan State last Tuesday, and then tonight they lost a 75-73 heartbreaker to Ohio State. Just one of those losses may have been Northwestern over the top. To make it even worse, both of those games were at home, and the committee won't give them many excuses for those games. There is still some hope left, however. Their regular-season finale is at Iowa, and that is obviously a must-win. Then they need to win a couple games in the Big Ten tournament, with hopefully one of them being against one of the five ranked Big Ten teams. This is a team everyone wants in the tournament, but at just 7-10 in conference right now, they are about out of chances. Feb. 29 status: Out
Miami: The Hurricanes got lucky. Their starting center Reggie Johnson only had to miss one game after NCAA violations. This puts Miami in a good position. They beat Florida State on Sunday, but a loss to NC State did them no favors. Miami now needs to beat Boston College this weekend, and then not get upset in the ACC Tournament. One upset and they are out. That's how much Miami is on the bubble right now. Feb. 29 status: In
Connecticut: I definitely can't figure out the Huskies. At this point I would say their resume doesn't warrant an at-large bid. After that buzzer-beater win at Villanova, I thought the Huskies had a shot at turning things around. They lost a close one against Syracuse, and came back from that with a loss at Providence. No really, Providence. They have now lost nine out of 12 games, and the committee certainly won't like that. They play a Pitt team this weekend that is playing better ball than them at the moment. A couple wins in the Big East tournament will be a must, but they don't have a Kemba Walker to save them this year. Feb. 29 status: Out
Texas: Simply put, the Longhorns are hanging on by a thread. They continue to beat the teams they should beat (Texas Tech and Oklahoma most recently). A win at Kansas this weekend will make them a lock, but that will be a tough one. Assuming they lose that one, they will be 19-9 with a similar situation as Miami — right on the edge. There will be no room for error in the Big 12 tournament. A loss early on and there bubble will be burst. Feb. 29 status: In
South Florida: Their win over Louisville tonight may have put them over the top. Now they need to just not lose early on in the Big East tournament. But even with a first or second round loss, it will be hard for the committee to not give the fifth place team in the Big East an at-large bid. They have played arguably the easiest schedule in conference, but with wins over tourney teams Cinci and Louisville within the past three days, they seem to be in good shape. Feb. 29 Status: In
Colorado and Oregon: These two teams play each other tomorrow in what may be the biggest Pac-12 game of the year. Both teams look to be out at the moment, so whichever team loses will likely not have a shot at the NCAA's. The winner may just be able to position itself as one of the last teams in to make it. The Pac-12 should get four times in the tournament — California, Arizona and Washington all seem like good bets to make it. No chance this conference gets five teams in, so that's why the Colorado-Oregon game tomorrow is a must-win on both sides.
Xavier: The Musketeers have not played up to potential all year, going just 9-6 in the Atlantic-10. Non-conference wins against Vanderbilt, Purdue and Cincinatti are all solid, but they are 0-3 against the top two teams in the conference (Temple and Saint Louis). They have swapped between wins and losses there last 8 games, but those non-conference wins still hold. As long as they don't lose early in the conference tournament they should be in a position to grab one of the last at-larges. Feb. 29 Status: In
St Joseph's: I'm not sure if both the Hawks and Musketeers can both make it in. St. Joes had a big win vs. Temple over the weekend, but still will need a little help to get in. Their biggest non-conference win of the year game against Creighton. They lost their only game of the year to Xavier, and a 9-7 conference record won't go well with the committee. If they run into Xavier in the A-10 tournament, that could be a win-and-you're-in game. Feb. 29 Status: Out
Last what to watch for, don't cry, at least publicly.Posted: February 27, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Big East, Big Ten, Conference Tournament, NCAA Tournament, OVC, SEC, TV Schedule Leave a comment
We are in the Final Countdown of the regular season, so that means the final what to watch for because if you don't know what you're watching next week, well you need to turn in your fan card.
Monday: Notre Dame @ Georgetown (7pm ESPN) – The last Big Monday game of the season, always hate to see this happen since they have one of the best announcing crews. Back to the game the 3rd place Irish and 4th place Hoyas have the coveted double-bye, for now, at Madison Square Garden but can still drop to a single-bye so expect this to be a great game. If you wanted to the Daytona 500 may be on (I really need to invent a tarp for NASCAR) to flip to during the media timeouts.
Tuesday: Michigan St at Indiana (7pm ESPN) – Sparty comes to Bloomington where the Hoosiers have had some success (cue the Kentucky video) against ranked opponents.
Wednesday:The first conference tournament starts with the Atlantic Sun on ESPN3. Marquette visits Cincinnati (7pm ESPN), the Bearcats have played well ever since the fight vs Xavier earlier this season including wins over Louisville, Connecticut, Pitt and Georgetown. USF will be looking for a resume building win as they visit the KFC Yum! Center (can't forget the !) to take on Louisville (7pm Big East Network). 8pm Iowa State travels to Missouri (Big 12 Network).
Thursday: Michigan takes on Illinois (7pm ESPN), in what could be Bruce Weber's last game as head coach of the Fighting Illini. The Missouri Valley and the West Coast Conference tournaments appear on the screen.
Friday: Murray State is playing in the Semifinals of the OVC Tournament (7pm ESPNU). If you want to find me I'll be watching a great college baseball series of Pepperdine vs Louisville (two weeks in a row with a baseball plug, sue me).
Saturday: The first tickets are punched as the Big South, OVC and Atlantic Sun all determine a champion. Memphis @ Tulsa (Noon CBS) in a C-USA match-up of the top teams in the league, Louisville travels to Syracuse (4pm CBS), who knows what Louisville team will show up.
Sunday: The last day of games for the regular season and Kentucky travels to Florida (Noon CBS) and in state rivals Purdue @ Indiana (6pm Big Ten Net). A champion will be crowned for the MVC (2pm CBS).
What to watch this weekPosted: February 20, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Duke, Florida State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Missouri, Murray State, North Carolina, OVC, TV Schedule Leave a comment
With Conference Tournament games just over a week away here is a look at some of the games that you should keep an eye on this week.
Monday: Connecticut @ Villanova (7pm ESPN) – ESPN's Big Monday has a double-header worth watching. UConn and Nova both are in need of a confidence boost before they head to Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. If you want a second game tonight, Baylor is at Texas at 9pm on ESPN
Tuesday: Kansas St at Missouri (7pm ESPN2) – The Big 12 leader host 5th place Wildcats. This games kicks off a tough week for both teams.
Wednesday: So many games to pick this week but a few to keep an eye on include West Virginia @ Notre Dame (7pm ESPN2), USF at Syracuse (7pm Big East Net.), Oklahoma State @ Oklahoma (8pm Big 12 Net.).
Thursday: Duke @ Florida State (7pm ESPN) – Two of the three teams at the top of the ACC meet in Durham. Murray State @ Tennessee State (8pm ESPNU), the top two in the OVC will battle it out, the Racers are coming off the win over St. Mary's. Louisville @ Cincinnati (9pm ESPN) the long time conference rivals meet at Fifth Third Arena, both teams are currently at 9-5 in conference play.
Friday:Baseball is back; go watch your college program play our national past-time. If you really want to watch some hoops Butler @ Valparaiso (7pm ESPNU) and Marquette @ West Virginia (9pm ESPN) should settle that craving.
Saturday: Go on and clear your schedule it's the last full Saturday of regular season basketball. The day starts with Vanderbilt @ Kentucky (Noon CBS), Iowa State @ Kansas State (1:30 Big 12 Net.), North Carolina @ Virginia (4pm ESPN), Creighton @ Indiana State (4pm ESPN2), and what could be the final meeting of Missouri @ Kansas (4pm CBS).
Sunday: It's the Daytona 500 why do you want to watch basketball? Cincinnati @ USF (Noon Big East Net), Indiana @ Minnesota (1pm ESPN), Pittsburgh @ Louisville (2pm CBS), Florida State @ Miami (FL) (6pm ESPNU), Oregon @ Oregon State (7:30pm FSN).
If you can not find a game that peaks your interest this week then you might not be a college basketball fan.

Every week leading up to the NCAA Tournament we will feature several bubble teams with their current chances of making the tournament and key games ahead for them.
Illinois: The Fighting Illini have had a free-fall as of late, losing six of their last seven conference games. This is a team that has a solid resume though, with wins over Michigan State and Ohio State heading it. They still have three more games against top-20 teams. If they take care of the games they should win (Nebraska, Iowa) and win one of those three games against ranked teams, they should be in. If they don't, losses to Penn State as well as fellow-bubble teams Northwestern and Purdue could be crucial. They play Purdue again on Wednesday night — a loss to them for the second straight time this year could be detrimental, especially if bracket-builders are forced to decide between the two. Feb. 14 status: In
Purdue: Speaking of the Boilermakers, they have a solid 6-6 conference record, but those six wins won't impress many, as none of them have been against teams with winning records in the conference. They are 0-6 for the year against top-25 teams and aside from solid-but-not-astounding victories against Miami and Illinois, don't have many wins to brag about. They face three more ranked Big Ten foes this year, which may be the difference for the Boilermakers. Feb. 14 status: Out
Texas: The Big 12 has been a very top-heavy conference, and surprisingly Texas has not been one of those teams at the top. They have lost to all of the teams at the top of the conference this year, the last three coming by a combined nine points. The Longhorns best victory this year is against Temple, but a win over the weekend against bubble-team Kansas State did help. They face both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State this week on the road, and although those two teams are in the bottom tier of the conference, they would still be two quality and much-needed wins. Feb. 14 status: Out
Alabama: The Crimson Tide could be on the down slope, as coach Anthony Grant suspended four of his top players over the weekend due to a violation of team rules. The timing was bad, as they have a home date with Florida tonight. Alabama is in desperate need for a big one — they have some of the top teams close, but haven't gotten that marquee win. If they don't beat the Gators, a win over the suddenly surging Tennessee Volunteers this weekend will be necessary to keep their chances alive. Feb. 14 status: Out
Connecticut: The reigning champion Huskies surely still have some work to do. They sport the top strength of schedule in the nation and the No. 19 RPI, but are just 15-9 for the year and 5-7 in the Big East. They've beaten Florida State, Harvard and Notre Dame, but they have double-digit losses in their last three games against ranked foes. They are sitting in the bottom-half of a weakened Big East, but a win against Marquette this weekend may put them in for the time being. Feb. 14 status: Out
Notre Dame: The Irish are rolling right now, winning six straight games, including three over top-15 teams. Right now they should be in, especially since they sit third in the Big East at 9-3. Five of their last six games are against unranked teams, and although that might sound good, if they drop a couple of those this is suddenly a team that might need to win a couple of games in the Big East Tournament to get into the dance. They have the victories (Louisville, Syracuse, Connecticut, Marquette) but have also suffered conference losses to Cincinnati and Rutgers. They face Rutgers tonight, which will be a big revenge game for the Irish. Feb. 14 status: In
Miami: The Hurricanes will always have that win over Duke, but that's their only marquee win. They missed out on a chance against Florida State over the weekend, but will get another chance this month to beat them. Miami faces the Tar Heels at home tomorrow night, hoping to avenge a 17-point loss to them last month. If they upset the Tar Heels, there shouldn't be much doubt about letting the Hurricanes in, but if not, there won't be many more chances to impress the committee. Feb. 14 status: Out
Virginia: The Cavaliers sport a solid 19-5 record, but just one win over a ranked team (Michigan). If they win their four games against teams with sub-500 ACC records and one of their games against Florida State and UNC, it will be hard to bypass Virginia. I don't see both Miami and Virginia getting in, however, so their 52-51 win last month over the Hurricanes could be a deciding factor. Feb. 14 status: In
What to watch this weekPosted: February 13, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Big East, Big Ten, Bracketbusters, Buffalo, CBS, Draymond Green, ESPN, Keith Appling, Kent St, Louisville, MAC, Michigan State, Missouri St, MVC, Northern Iowa, OVC, Purdue, St. Mary's Murray State, Syracuse, Valley, VCU, Wichita St, Wisconsin Leave a comment
Here is a quick look at a game each day this week that may catch your attention.
Monday: Syracuse @ Louisville (7pm ESPN) – ESPN's Big Monday crew rolls into town with Louisville off a win at West Virginia, and Syracuse comes into the KFC Yum! Center with a five game winning streak.
Tuesday: Buffalo at Kent St. (7pm ESPN Full Court) – 2nd and 3rd place in the MAC East Division take the court in a Valentine's Night game. The Bulls won by one point when these teams met January 7th.
Wednesday: Missouri St. at Wichita St. (8pm ESPN Full Court) – 1st place Shockers host 3rd place Missouri St., the Shockers took the previous match-up at the start of the month by seven.
Thursday: Wisconsin at Michigan St. (7pm ESPN) – 2nd and 3rdin the Big Ten, the Spartans won by three in Overtime last month in Madison.
Friday: Northern Iowa at VCU (7pm ESPN2) – The kickoff game of this years BracketBusters event, two teams that have been busting brackets in March make for a great start to the 10th year of the BracketBusters series.
Saturday: St. Mary's at Murray State (6pm ESPN2) – The match-up that everyone wanted in BracketBusters. This game should still be a great game even without the Racers being undefeated, plus Dick Vitale is calling the game, should be a great atmosphere.
Sunday: Michigan State at Purdue (1pm CBS) – The Boilermakers get a shot to get a quality win over the Spartans under the lights of CBS.
Memphis: How their departure affects the Big East and C-USAPosted: February 13, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Big East, C-USA, conference usa, Josh Pastner Leave a comment
Just when you thought the Big East Conference was about to fall apart, they go and do something like this —and totally redeem themselves!
Since they are losing Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia after this season, the Big East had to do something big to stay at/near the top of the college basketball stratosphere. Enter Memphis. The Conference-USA powerhouse is set to join the Big East in 2013, adding a bit of life to a conference that needed a jolt.
They have already added Central Florida, Houston and Southern Methodist — but none of those teams can provide the star-power that the Tigers will provide. It is a great move for both sides, certainly as far as revenue is concerned. And Memphis will no longer have to beef up their non-conference schedule to impress the NCAA come March.
Memphis entering could be a big move in trying to keep Louisville from joining the Big 12 as well. Rick Pitino has publicly vouched for the Tigers entering the conference, and now the Louisville-Memphis rivalry can possibly get back to what it used to be in the mid-2000's, when the Cardinals were a member of the C-USA. They played this year for the first time since Louisville defected, and this really has a chance to be one of the premier Big East rivalries.
With Connecticut, Georgetown and Villanova, the Big East was already going to be a top conference even with the departing teams, but it was likely that the Atlantic Coast Conference or Big 10 could have overtaken them. With Memphis coming in, they will still have a strong chance to be near the top still.
Right now, Memphis would not be a top-tier Big East school, but that's no fault against the Tigers. The guys they have on their team were recruited to play in the C-USA. Think about the new, different recruiting pitches Josh Pastner and his staff can make with his team now being able to play at Madison Square Garden every year for the Big East Tournament. It's a win-win for every party. They should be a top five team in the conference in the foreseeable future.
But what happens to the C-USA? They already had three schools leave, and now their most relevant school is on its way out. You'd think this would kill them, but with a scheduled merger with the Mountain West Conference on the way, this will still be one of, if not the top, mid-major conference. After the merger, their conference will span literally the whole country.
C-USA will lose much of its exposure in the key markets of Memphis, Houston, Orlando and Memphis — that's why a merger is. necessary. Memphis leaving won't be the end of the world for the C-USA, just as it was not when Louisville and Marquette left in 2005.

Tenby go top
3:00pm Thursday 8th November 2012 in Sport
Cardigan 9
Tenby United 10
Tenby United returned to winning ways by the narrowest of margins in an absorbing clash against Cardigan.
The King George V pitch was understandably heavy after so much rain but both teams deserve credit for trying to play attacking rugby, although their efforts were thwarted by the muddy pitch and slippery ball.
The Seasiders needed victory after a cup defeat at Lampeter the previous week and it took a late penalty by powerful centre Toby Smith, whose brother Sam was outstanding up front in his last game before a back operation, after Cardigan had taken a 9-7 lead with a penalty by replacement kicker Iestyn Crompton.
Cardigan had opened the scoring with a penalty by Mike Diggle as the back row of Dylan Richards, skipper Dylan Davies and especially No 8 Llyr Griffiths, played well, but could do little to stop Tenby taking the lead with a penalty try awarded for a collapsed scrum, converted by Lloyd Thomas.
A second Diggle penalty made the score 7-6 to Tenby at the interval and in the second half there was some useful covering by Alun Williams and Dafydd Williams as Cardigan took the lead when Crompton landed a penalty.
But the Seasiders' pack raised the tempo and when they were awarded a penalty, up stepped Toby Smith to slot it.
Although both sides might have had half chances thereafter it was the Seasiders who pouched the points while the Teifisiders had to settle for a single bonus point.
