Oct 7 2007, 12:02 AM
I'm happy for Andrade...hopes he goes far.
I like Panchito Bojado alot but I'm also happy they gave it to Fobes. He's a hell of a fighter.
Oct 7 2007, 12:10 AM
More shitty commentary from the Andrade fight... talking about how Mack "ran out of gas" ... BS - the guy got caught with a great left hook that the commentators didn't even give him credit for, took a knee and never as able to recover having taken sustained punishment for 20 minutes. It had nothing to do with running out of gas.
Oct 7 2007, 12:19 AM
All the undercard fights were pretty entertaining the Bojado/Forbes fight was close could have gone either way. Andrade is a tough SOB I would wanna see him against Pavlik. Luevano looked real good tonight he may not be the best 126lb but I think he can hang with anyone in the division.
Oct 7 2007, 02:30 AM
Andrade won't have a very long career taking punches the way he does. He gets hit hard and clean as often as Gatti, and all that will do is diminish his ability to take a shot as the years go by.
Oct 7 2007, 02:03 PM
I agree he will never become an all time great but the guy sure is exciting to watch.

LEWISTON, N.Y. - The Bowling Green State University hockey team opened the 2012-13 season Saturday night, skating to a 2-2 tie with Niagara on the road. Junior Cam Wojtala and senior Bobby Shea scored the Falcon goals, while senior goaltender Andrew Hammond stopped 28-of-30 shots faced.
The game started with a scoreless frame, with each team failing to light the lamp in the first period. The Falcons and Purple Eagles each recorded 10 shots in the frame, both failing to score on a power-play chance.
The scoring drought was finally broken in the second period, with the Purple Eagles drawing first blood just over 15 minutes into the middle frame.
Niagara worked the puck around the Falcon blue line, before junior Kevin Ryan sent a shot towards the Bowling Green crease. Hammond made the initial save, but couldn't hold on to the puck. Niagara freshman Rocky Gruttadauria was waiting in front of the Falcon crease, and buried the shot for the first goal of the 2012-13 season.
The Falcons, showing the same resiliency that carried them to Joe Louis Arena last season, answered right back in the second, thanks to a power-play tally from Wojtala.
With just over two minutes left in the middle frame, sophomore Adam Berkle collected a pass and made his way into the offensive slot. Berkle sent the puck on net, and handcuffed the Niagara netminder. Wojtala took advantage at the side of the cage, and shot the rebound in for his first goal of the year.
Both teams had plenty of chances in the final frame, but Bowling struck again first, scoring an even-strength tally late in the third period on a shot from Shea.
Sophomores Dan DeSalvo and Ryan Carpenter battled below the Niagara goal line, before finding some space at the side of the net. Desalvo sent a pass to Shea in the slot, giving him the perfect opportunity for a one-timer. Shea's shot found the back of the net for his first goal of the season, giving the Falcons a 2-1 lead late in the game.
With just under one minute left in the contest, the Purple Eagles answered back, taking advantage of a failed Bowling Green clear.
Niagara defenseman Kevin Albers stopped the puck near the top of the Falcon zone, and sent a pass down to Chris Lochner near the side of the net. Lochner waited, and slid a shot past Hammond for his first goal of the year, tying the game 2-2.
Neither team was able to light the lamp in overtime, giving Bowling Green the 2-2 tie to open the season.
Sophomore Dajon Mingo recorded an assist on the first Falcon goal, marking his first point for the Orange and Brown.
The tie puts Bowling Green's record at 0-0-1 overall. The Falcons are back in action Sunday night, facing off against the Ontario Institution of Technology in an exhibition game, the first home game of the season.

Update: Work will be taking place from August 4-12 that may result in occasional delays of a few minutes. No
closures are anticipated at this time.
An EWEB repair project at the Leaburg Dam will require the intermittent
closure of the road across the dam to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic
from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., on some weekdays this summer. Currently, no hours-long closures are
anticipated for the month of August. There may be occasional delays of a few minutes.
The Leaburg Dam features three roll gates, which regulate the volume of water spilled from the
dam. The motor that controls the No. 2 roll gate failed in early 2012. Attempts to repair the
motor in place were not successful, and it was removed in June 2012. The roll gate has remained
in the "closed" or "down" position since the motor failed.
EWEB intends to install a new motor and gear box for the roll gate in the summer of 2014. Prior to
that installation, EWEB must erect a bulkhead immediately upstream of the No. 2 roll gate in
order to isolate it from Leaburg Lake. The bulkhead structure will allow EWEB and its
contractor to open and inspect the No. 2 roll gate safely and without causing the sudden drainage
of Leaburg Lake.
Emergency planning
EWEB is working in partnership with McKenzie Fire & Rescue to stage emergency vehicles
on the east side of the dam to respond to emergencies during the closures. Should a
life-threatening emergency occur during a closure period, EWEB and its contractor will
clear the dam as quickly as possible.
Once EWEB's contractor has drawn up a specific work schedule, closure dates will be shared. In addition,
EWEB will place a digital message board near the dam to alert those driving on Highway
126 of specific closure dates.

Thank you for visiting our website. Because of increased transportation costs and because
of the drought in California, we are projecting prices to be higher this year on all citrus than in years past.
If supplies of citrus are plentiful, prices will
be lower than quoted. The following information is for planning purposes. We will know more about the actual prices
by August 1at. We will then be able to confirm prices and you will be able to kick off your sale.
The following prices are good in most areas of the United
States. There are higher minimum orders for some parts of the U.S. and Canada. Your fruit will arrive between
December 5th and December 17th, just before the Christmas Holidays. In most areas of the U.S. we can deliver to
you from mid-November to mid-April if you meet our minimum order.
If you decide to participate, we will need you to call our toll free at 800-277-5372. After we
receive this confirmation from you we will add your group to our list of confirmed fundraisers. We will then email you a confirmation
with other files that you may use to make your sale a success.
We will then send the attached full color flyers for your group by priority mail. Our full
color flyers are shipped to you free of charge if you commit to a sale with us.
Prices vary based on the volume that you sell. There are delivery fees if you sell
less than 300 – 20 pound cartons. There are discounts resulting in more profit for your group if you sell 500
– 20 pound cartons or more. Please see the pricing information below for the details.
Our fundraising program offers you the best quality fruit
available from all areas of the United States. We ship all fruit on one truck, direct from the growers, arriving to
you as fresh as possible.
the past 25 years we have helped hundreds of nonprofit groups earn as much as $40,000.00 with one fruit fundraiser.
Our program is a proven method to raise large amounts of money.
You can also go to: www.800apples2.com for all of the information regarding how to conduct a successful fruit sale, pictures of our full color flyers,
are 5 reasons why fruit fundraisers continue to be the most effective of all high profit fundraisers:
1. Almost everyone eats fruit on a daily basis.
It is part of their existing grocery budget.
2. Fruit is healthy and is considered
a requirement for a healthy diet by most experts.
3. Fruit is an enjoyable refreshing treat
that appeals to almost everyone.
4. Fruit baskets and variety gift boxes make excellent
gifts for companies to give to employees and customers.
5. Those who buy fruit appreciate
your service and will look forward to buying from you year after year. Many groups have sold fruit for over 30 years.
There is no better fundraiser for repeat business.
Why is a fruit sale so profitable at reasonable prices?
Because fruit is perishable, grocery stores have to charge a large percentage of profit to
cover the risk of spoilage. This gives you the opportunity to make a very good profit margin and still be competitive.
We have a program that minimizes your risk. Because you are preselling the fruit, you will deliver it quickly to your
customers when it arrives, minimizing the spoilage. We also reimburse you for any spoilage reported to us.

Your delivered cost, suggested price
and profit:
Following are
the terms, delivered cost, suggested price and profit for your fruit fundraiser. In order to receive this pricing,
we must email, fax or mail you a confirmation specific to your group in advance. Unless other dates have been arranged, you
must place your order with us by Monday November 17, 2014 for the December delivery. This means you need to contact
us to confirm your fundraiser after you decide to do this fundraiser.
Prices are good for shipment for arrival to you from November 15 to December 17, 2014
as long as your order is placed within the dates given. Payment in U.S. dollars. Fruit prices quoted
are based on crop and shipping conditions remaining favorable. In the event of a natural disaster such as a freeze,
hurricane, trucking crisis or fuel crisis, prices or supplies are not guaranteed. Weights are approximate. Citrus
is sold by volume; it is not sold by weight. (1/2 carton approximately 20 pounds, Standard Carton approximately pounds.)
Minimum Order: No orders for less
than 100 - 20-pound equivalent cartons (2,000 pounds or more) of fruit will be accepted or shipped. Rising fuel costs
have resulted in higher freight costs. Because of this, we have a minimum order policy. If you fall short of the
100 – 20 pound equivalents, you may want to order extra fruit and sell it after it arrives. We do not recommend
this, but this is an option you have rather than canceling your sale. Some areas of the U.S. or Canada have higher minimum
orders. Please see the information that applies to your area.
quoted below are based on a minimum order of 300 - 20-pound equivalent cartons of fruit per delivery location. (Any combination
totaling 6,000 pounds of fruit or more) Payment in US Dollars. A 300 – 20 pound equivalent order results in no freight
service charge, resulting in a profit of approximately $3,000.00.
If quantity delivered is between
200 and 300 - 20 pound carton equivalents, a $200.00 delivery fee will be added to your invoice.
(A 200 - 20 pound carton order would cost $2.00 per carton more than quoted below)
If quantity delivered is between 100 and 200 - 20 pound carton
equivalents, a $300.00 delivery fee will be added to your invoice.

The following
Quantity Discounts will be given per carton based on the total quantity of fruit delivered.
Discounts are based on the quantity delivered to each separate
delivery location on each separate delivery truck:
500 to 999 - 20 pound carton equivalents
Deduct $1.00 per 20 pound carton
A 500 - 20 pound carton order will result
in a profit of approximately $5,500.00 for your group.

(1,900 to 2,000 - 20 pound carton equivalents)
Deduct $3.00
per 20 pound carton
A 2,000 - 20 pound carton order will result in a profit of approximately $26,000.00 for your group.
Prices quoted also include full credit to your invoice for all actual spoilage reported to us
by fax, phone or email within 7 days of your delivery date. If total spoilage exceeds 3% of any given item, it must
be reported within 48 hours. This makes it possible for us to make a claim with the grower of the fruit. Any major
problems (10% spoilage or damage of any given item) must be reported to us before accepting the fruit delivery. If any item
shipped on the truck is short or damaged, you must note it on the bill of lading before signing for the merchandise and notify
us within 48 hours. Because there is a small chance of having spoilage or miscounting, we recommend that you order
1 extra 20 pound carton of each type of fruit or 1% more fruit than you have sold, whichever is greatest. For example if you
sell 300 – 20 pound navel oranges, we recommend that you order 3 extra 20 pound cartons. You will find that it
is easy to sell the extra fruit if you do not need it for spoilage replacement.
Delivered cost in U.S. dollars and recommended selling prices and profit per carton for
300 to 499 – 20 pound equivalent cartons:
Citrus is sold by volume not weight. Weight is approximate. "Count" means the approximate
number of pieces of fruit in each carton. The count can vary based on how large the fruit grows, which can vary season
to season.

fruit arrives.
We will send you

Payment Terms
Payment must arrive to us by cashier's check, credit
card or money order 7 days prior to your delivery date. This may require collecting your money in advance from your
customers. You will receive a 3% discount for paying on time, in advance by cashier's check or money order. Payment
in U.S. Dollars.
You will be given a 1%
discount for paying on time, in advance by credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card.
After placing your order with us, we will calculate the total
amount due and fax or email your invoice. You can then express mail the cashier's check or money order.
We will reimburse you for express mail charges from your local post office. You can also call us to request payment
by credit card.
Paying in advance enables
the fruit growers to give us their best quality at a competitive price, knowing they will receive prompt payment.
If you need credit terms, it can be arranged by submitting a credit application. Credit will need to be approved four
weeks in advance of your delivery date.
Please call us at 800-277-5372 if you need to make credit arrangements and we will email or fax you a credit application.
Our credit terms if approved are: Net 21 days from delivery date. Payments not received by our office within 30
days of delivery will be assessed a 1% service charge per 30 days until payment is received.
Fruit prices quoted are based on crop and shipping conditions remaining favorable.
In the event of a natural disaster such as a freeze, transportation crisis or a hurricane, prices or supplies are not
guaranteed. Weights are approximate. Citrus is sold by volume; it is not sold by weight. (1/2 carton approximately
20 pounds, Standard Carton approximately 40 pounds.)
Late Orders:
Each year we get
late orders that are past the deadline. We always do our best to accommodate late orders if there is still time to do
so. However, the Washington apples must be shipped to Texas and Florida in order to make the connection with the citrus
trucks. We need the orders by these deadlines to schedule harvesting, packing, shipping and transportation for the fruit.
Late orders will be considered based on fruit availability and extra space on the delivery trucks. If you submit your
order after our deadline, a higher price than quoted may apply.
Delivery Dates
Your delivery time and day cannot be confirmed until we make arrangements with a trucking company to deliver
the fruit. Fresh fruit has to be shipped by refrigerated truck which has to be arranged after we receive all orders,
have the fruit harvested and packed. If you have not heard from the trucking company or us within 4 days of your requested
delivery, it is crucial that you call us for an update.
"Just in time" arrival is the goal we strive to achieve. It is not possible for us to guarantee
that the truck will come precisely on time since any number of things could happen to cause a delay. We may also have
to ship your order for arrival on a different date than you have requested. Unless you have talked with us by phone
and have made other arrangements with us, you will need to be prepared to receive the fruit during the range of dates that
we have scheduled for delivery. You only need a few people to unload the truck. The fruit can be distributed to
your team members at a later time. Please see the information we sent you regarding how to unload the truck, how to
count the fruit and how to inspect the fruit on arrival.
We will not ask you to unload the fruit between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM unless you request it or if it is more convenient
for you. The larger your order, the better we can accommodate your requested date and time of delivery.
As a general rule, if your order is less than 500 of the 20 pound equivalents, you will need to be prepared to unload
your fruit when the truck arrives. We will notify you well in advance to schedule your team members for unloading.
You only need 3 to 4 able bodied adults to
unload 500 cartons within one hour. The truck driver is not responsible for unloading. This is done by members
of your group. It is possible that your fruit will arrive on a weekend day. Refrigerated, over the road delivery trucks
deliver 7 days per week and have to stay on schedule. It is not possible to hold a truck over on a weekend. If
there are religious reasons for not unloading on a particular day, we will work that out for you in advance as long as you
let us know that in advance.
It is important
for you to have a backup plan in place in the event that the truck comes earlier than requested, breaks down, encounters bad
weather, an accident, etc. (See instructions to trucker on order form.) In order to prevent your fruit sale from becoming
an inconvenience to your volunteers, it is crucial that you establish a team captain calling system. We suggest that
you have no more than ten sales people per team. Have team captains who are in charge of calling everyone on their team
to update them on the arrival time of the truck. Have each team captain establish a calling list of all team members
well in advance of your delivery date.
two to four days before your scheduled delivery we should know the delivery schedule. At this time call us for your
delivery time and activate your team captain calling system to inform team members of the scheduled delivery. Tell them
that unless they get a message regarding a potential delay, arrive to pick up their fruit approximately 3 to 4 hours after
the scheduled delivery. This will allow you time to have the unloading crew show up on time, unload the fruit, count
it and prepare it for distribution. Also, if the truck is delayed for some reason, there will be time to activate the
calling system and inform your team members to come later.
We look forward to helping you with your fundraiser. Please feel free to call us at your convenience if
you have questions.

Handyman gets 10 years in prison for robbing Akron residents, ages 92 and 97
AKRON, Ohio - An Akron handyman pleaded guilty to robbing two elderly people in two separate incidents.
Daniel Roy Spiegel pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated burglary and two counts of robbery on Tuesday. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In February, Spiegel went to the house of a 92-year-old woman and demanded money from a previous job, Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said. When the women refused and told him to leave, the 41-year-old forced his way into the house and knocked down the victim. He took money from her wallet and fled, prosecutors said.
While investigating that case, Akron police discovered that Spiegel had robbed a 97-year-old man in August. Prosecutors said DNA from the victim's jacket, where his wallet had been, matched Spiegel's.
That victim identified Spiegel as the neighborhood handyman, prosecutors said.

Disclaimer: This is a trade idea. Feel free to skim or quickly dismiss.
In a nutshell:
What this gives the Bulls: $$ / Ridiculous Flexibility
What this gives the Knicks: 2010 Cap Space
What this gives the Wolves: Better Players
Bulls get: Jason Collins, Malik Rose, Jerome James
Bulls give: Hughes, Nocioni, Gray
Knicks get: Hughes, Calvin Booth, Brian Cardinal
Knicks give: Jared Jeffries, Malik Rose, Jerome James
Wolves get: Nocioni, Gray, Jared Jeffries
Wolves give: Jason Collins, Calvin Booth, Brian Cardinal
Bulls gain $1.5 million this year and $14.5 million next year in exchange for bench players. This enables them to do one or more of the following: (1) take on salary in another trade while staying under the luxury tax; (2) sign a major free agent; (3) re-sign Ben Gordon under the luxury tax. The team may not even get any worse short-term. Suddenly Thabo will play a lot until Hinrich comes back, and if his bones haven't atrophied on the bench, he shouldn't be a downgrade from Hughes. All of the players the Bulls receive are terrible on offense, but Collins is a good defender in a limited role. As an added bonus, the players are all accustomed to not playing, so they're less likely to complain on the bench.
Knicks gain 2010-friendly contracts and a player who fits their system in exchange for a few big men who don't play, don't fit the system, and collectively have much more unfavorable contracts (Jeffries makes almost $7 million in 2010-11).
Wolves gain 3 decent players with fairly bad contracts in exchange for 3 bad players with decent contracts. The Wolves need help everywhere. The contracts they receive really aren't that bad for them because Nocioni and Jeffries merit substantial playing time in their rotation, especially with Corey Brewer out for the year. In addition, as a small-market team, the Wolves are more likely to improve through the draft and through trades than through free agency (though you could argue that's generally true for every team).
If the Wolves can convince the Knicks to give them the right to exchange a draft pick this year, it's even better. I believe that the Wolves own as many as 4 first-round picks this year, including those belonging to the Heat (top-10 protected), Jazz (top-21? protected), and Celtics. I don't think the Knicks can outright trade away their pick this season because they already gave up their 2010 first rounder to the Jazz, but the Wolves might rather trade up than get an extra pick at this point. The Knicks might not value their probable late-lottery pick in this draft anyway, given that the draft is considered very weak and those guys make a few million a year. The trade as constructed is outstanding for the Knicks, so they may be very willing to exchange a (top-5?) protected pick for a much lower one.
I seriously think that all of the teams should want to make this trade. The Bulls can even sell it to the media as needing interior toughness and veteran leadership rather than clearing up huge sums of money.

Multiple Grade 1 three-year-old Hold Me Back is one of the most promising sons of Giant's Causeway to enter stud.
The multiple Graded stakes winner of $872,610 is off to a strong start, with six impressive winners and three stakes horses, plus multiple six-figure two-year-olds in training. His accomplishments include:
Hall of Fame horseman Bill Mott said admiringly of Hold Me Back, "Standing every bit of 16.3, he is a very fluid mover and an imposing individual. He is versatile and ran in all of the big races, including a great Travers run."

Dog lovers are lovin' the Obama Dog attentionby Lynn Kalber
And Prez Bush and his dog, Barney, are in the news again. Barney's got impeccable timing.
Apparently, Scottie Terrier Barney (shown here on the lawn with a ball as big as he is) bit the Reuters TV White House correspondent Jon Decker today. Decker had to get a tetanus shot because of it (those hurt).

Maybe Barney's feeling a bit put out at all the attention the First Dog-Elect is getting.

Spike TV's Bar Rescue starts its second season in July and Silver Spring's Piratz Tavern is in the first episode, but the transformation is not at all what bar owners here expected.
During the promotional video, the host John Taffer tells Piratz employees that, "fixing bars is easy, fixing people is tough." His brash approach to management ruffles feathers along the way.
Archer—an employee at Piratz Tavern—got into a disagreement with Taffer and they throw verbal daggers.
Taffer tells Archer that he doesn't appreciate his smirk and asks if the restaurant owner's nearly $1 million debt was funny.
Archer replies that he doesn't appreciate a grow man yelling at the top of his lungs at adults like they are children.
In February, Taffer came to Silver Spring and attempted to change Piratz Tavern into Corporate Bar and Grill.
To create Corporate Bar and Grill Taffer he realigned furniture and installed new bar fixtures, devised menu layouts, among other renovations.
But the theme didn't stick and the restaurant owner changed it back. In the process, they even wrote and posted a YouTube video of it.
In an interview with Patch, the owner Tracy Rebelo said she was outraged by how the show renovated their bar. It went from a pirate décor to framed office posters and notepads. She said the she hoped the show would bring her better business, but it did the opposite.
Over the course of the new season, Taffer also visited failing establishments in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

This is a warm, sincere, fun loving collection of poems. Valencic's style is unique. I enjoyed reading the book very much. Everyone that reads it seems to relate to the special times when they were growing up. I am looking forward to Valencic's future books.

Jacqueline Valencic is not only a wonderful person to know - she is an awesome and creative writer. Her work is inspirational. You can't help but let your mind wander and daydream as your read her poems. Nostalgic and witty! Not only is her writing innocent and true, but the illustrations (most especially the cover) are simple and beautiful!!! I'm so proud of her and all her accomplishments!

I can't wait to read a copy of Jacqueline (Jackie's) book.
I grew up in Mt. View during the 50's, 60's,, and knew Jackie well
from Mt.View High School.
She was very creative from the get-go,, as when we were in a high
school public speaking class together,, & had to give an oral presentation, she chose comedy.. acting both parts of the Smothers
Brothers. It was the funniest "one woman" show I'd seen!!
I'm heading to the library/bookstore to get a copy of her poems!!
A lot of us "neighborhood" kids loved to stop by their house to
watch the koi swim in their pond.They had a low fence so many could
admire it. I'm sure it was one of the only
ones in Mt. View at that time! How wonderful for all of us to be
able to grow up in dear Mt. View & know that "Jackie" has been such a success. One of my favorite memories was eating at Qui Hing Low
restaurant that Jackie's family operated & later, "Andy's" which her
family owned. All the best... Vi

You missed a great MVHS Class of 1966 Reunion this past Oct. 1, 2011. I remember you singing "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world" during one of the variety shows. You showed great courage singing the song.
Wishing you continued happiness and success.

Last Friday, Robyn Blaylock and some co-workers ventured into downtown Shreveport for a night on the town. She parked her car at a lot on Spring and Travis Streets. It's owned by System Parking, Incorporated. Blaylock says when she pulled in, there was no one manning the guard shack, so she parked and headed out. When she went to get her car the next morning, she found a citation underneath her windshield wiper. It was for not paying the $3 parking fee. Blaylock says there were other cars still in the lot, and a group of men standing around. She says when she was about to leave one of the men came up to her car and asked for the money. She says the man wanted a $30 fine for parking without paying. She told the man she didn't have any money and would pay the fee later. But she says the man was very adamant and tried to get into her car. The door was locked and he couldn't get in. She says the man was not wearing anything to identify himself with System Parking, Incorporated. The company's regional manager Danny Fincher says it was not one of his workers. He says they're not allowed to collect money. That's why there's an automated collection machine. Fincher says this is the first time he's heard of others taking advantage of people parking in his lot.
Here's the latest on Tropical Storm Dolly.

Recently Gonzaga landed Ryan Edwards out of Montana. Despite his size and strength Edwards was a largely under the radar prospect. he joins Luke Meikle in the 2013 recriuting class. while these players could very well end up being "diamonds in the rough" they are quite a gamble. This leads me to ask the question, "What's going on with recruiting?"The West Coast is regarded as a second class area for basketball players. While there are certainly good players here, the lists of top prospects are usually littered with east coasters. Recently there has been a surge of good players from the west however. In ESPN's 2013 Top 100 there are 12 players from the West Region of the USA and in ESPN's 2014 Top 60 there are 8 players from out West. The question is why isn't the GU staff pursuing more of those top prospects? Bringing in highly touted players is difficult. It becomes more difficult when they live across the country from Spokane. I'm not saying we should only go after the top guys out West but why not test the waters?
About a month ago the coaching staff offered Robert Hubbs of Tennessee and Karviar Shepherd from Texas. Offering late in their recruiting like that lessens the chances of landing one of those prospects. If you are going to try to get in on a recruit late in the game, why not one that is close to GU? Perhaps they are close enough to take a visit to Spokane. This would greatly increase our odds of landing one of these recruits. Take Antioch, California Power Forward Marcus Lee, for example. He is the 27th best player in 2013 according to ESPN. he obviously hasn't done much narrowing of his list because his list is 18 teams long, with teams like San Diego and Pepperdine on it. Why not throw him an offer and see if he bites?
I'm not trying to say that the staff is doing a bad job (we are involved with some top 2014 prospects) I'm just wondering why the staff isn't taking advantage of the improving West Coast basketball scene. What do you guys think?

"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"Card quality was excellent, print quality was good, and service was exceptional. Paper had a slight texture to it so we were concerned about print quality of the photograph we were inserting. I was surprised to see the photo came out real nice. It is however, NOT photo paper so don't expect it to be ultra-crisp!"
"This is a very cute retro-looking card. Quality of paper and printing was excellent without upgrades. We used a photo that had been "antiqued" in iPhoto and it looked great. we also got the rounded corners which looked great with the design. the only thing I didn't like was the "faux-mildew" on the back side of the card- an attempt to make it look like a postcard saved for decades, but kind of made the back look dirty. Overall, highly recommended for your out-of-state relatives!"
"I was disappointed that I could not resize the inside photo once I put it into place. Your sizing was to a definite width that was a difficult ratio for my photo. I requested expedited shipping and 1/2 the order arrived late."
"Everyone loved the card, it became a mini album of our vacation. I loved the ability to personalize. The pearlizing of the card really added a nice sheen so that was a nice final touch. The quality of the paper is A-1. The printing was beautiful. I loved being given a free hand to "create" and also knowing that a Tiny Prints tech would be available if I ran into a snag. Great experience! Will be doing this every year now with you. Thank you! Rosemary Place, Chicago, Illinois"

You can hear the reel screaming and the tuna fighting. The anglers have to tag team to try and catch this one.
The bend in the rod is so serious, it looks as though its going to break. This little bluefin is putting up a heck of a fight.
They finally land this scrapper, but don't get too long to celebrate. The fisherman at the front of the boat also has a fish on. So they drop what they're doing and go lend him a hand.
In the end it's smiles all around. Even the second fish is smiling, because after it gets weighed in, and has a photo op, it's set free back into the ocean. Seriously, I swear that fish was smiling. LOL
Trolling hoochies off the coast of New York leads to nice bluefin tuna and smiles all around.

We're sort of in a world of our right now - uniforms! recruiting! footbaw! - but all around us, the wild, wild world of conference realignment has continued turning. The latest development: yep, the SEC wants Texas A&M, though Baylor could throw a curveball.
The member presidents of the Southeastern Conference unanimously voted to accept Texas A&M Tuesday night as the league's 13th member, but the Aggies' official acceptance has been delayed by the potential threat of legal action.
The SEC's presidents want assurances that no individual Big 12 school will sue for contractual interference over Texas A&M's departure. Baylor has not given that assurance to this point, according to sources.
Baylor is a lot like Kansas State and Iowa State: they have a lot to lose if the B12 collapses. If Texas A&M is just a precursor to Texas and Oklahoma fleeing the conference, then teams like Baylor (and K-State and ISU) won't really have a home. They aren't targets for an eastward-looking Big Ten, nor for a northward-looking SEC. I guess it's no surprise that Baylor would rather not join the Sun Belt or C-USA. (The C-USA is gonna be the 5th power conference when all this said and done. Conference of leftovers.)
I suppose we now wait to see what Baylor does and what the next steps are if they do. Just about every Big East school sued the ACC and the schools that left them for the ACC, and I don't recall that actually slowing down the process significantly. The Big 12 will try to get Baylor back on board with it all, but who knows if it'll work. At this point, there's not much to do but wait it out.
If the process doesn't slow, then the next step would appear to be the SEC finding its 14th member, for which Maryland may be a candidate. And, of course, we have to see what goes on with the Big Ten, a conference which I greatly prefer for cultural, geographic, and academic (CIC!) reasons. There's no word on whether they'll react to the SEC getting larger, but the hive mind seems to think they will, for whatever that's worth.
But because I haven't written about it yet, I have to mention the crazy idea that Texas - yes, that Texas - is a target for ACC expansion. The news comes from Chip Brown, who's both been right and wrong about a lot of high-level stuff.
One source close to the situation said the ACC, which is trying to fend off a potential raid by the Southeastern Conference (Virginia Tech continues to be mentioned by sources as an SEC target), would possibly look to add Texas, Syracuse, Connecticut and Rutgers to grow to 16.
Yep, that 16 team conference would be pretty sweet, and the lacrosse envy of all the land. Adding the Longhorns in particular would undoubtedly "save" the conference, and getting some northern pull from Cuse, UConn, and Rutgers would be nice for Maryland. (Though I'm never in favor of anything to do with Rutgers, really). That's ambitious, if nothing else, though I'm sure the Big Ten would have something to say about the addition of Cuse and UConn.
I know it makes no geographical nor cultural sense, but there could still be something to it. Maybe Texas wants to keep its Longhorn Network fully intact through any conference switch; the Pac-Whatever seems to have a problem with that, but I'm fairly certain the ACC wouldn't mind. Though the conference would probably have to change their name ... actually, wait, is the Gulf of Mexico part of the Atlantic Ocean? I think it is. Name stays.
Back on topic: of course, even if such a move is being discussed, that doesn't mean it'll happen. I'm sure both parties are discussing every available option. It goes down in the "Longshot" category, even though it's a very tantalizing longshot.
Still, this is gearing up to be quite the ride.

Easy DIY: Streamer Curtain
After creating a streamer wall for Selina's third birthday, we started the think about easier ways to get the same effect. We decided a curtain we could roll up and re-use was the way to go.
* Streamers
* Double-sided tape
* A dowel
* Scissors
Cut streamers to your desired length. We doubled our streamers so that they would lay over the dowel. This makes the curtain fuller. Attach double-sided tape to the length of the dowel and then start laying down your streamers.
Keep going the length of the dowel until it is covered. You may have to trim the ends so they are even, or you could just leave them as-is. Then, you can take your curtain down after the party and carefully roll it up to use again another time.

Tom Ioviono with Pinellas County Emergency management was one of 14 people that traveled from our area up to New York City after Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast.
What they saw -- day after day -- is still tough to imagine happening her. But it could, and we must be prepared.
"It was stunning to see an area like New York City affected that badly by a storm," Ioviono recalled. "You think it's the city that never sleeps and invulnerable to anything, and some of the parts of the city were brought to its knees by the power of Hurricane Sandy."
Our local emergency management members spent 10 days in some of the hardest hit areas, working shifts of 12 hours on and 12 hours off, giving the local emergency crews in New York a much needed break.
"It was bad. It was a really bad situation where people who had the warning didn't get out," Ioviono continued.
Throughout the trip, Tom and others took plenty of pictures, videos, and blogged daily. All of it is now on a website serving as a scrapbook of sorts -- or maybe more importantly a reminder of the lessons learned.
"It was a lesson that we learned very easily because it didn't hit us," Ioviono offered.
He says this hurricane season there will be better plans in place to work with surrounding agencies and other organizations. Donation sites need to be set up immediately after a storm hits and a way for supplies to move out. And maybe the biggest lesson for all of us -- prepare early.
"When Sandy hit, a lot of those people didn't prepare and didn't evacuate when they needed to."
It will take years to rebuild some of these areas.
"Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes and the positives that happened in New York City and be able to apply them here," Ioviono added.

The 2012 NFL Draft was a huge success for the Colts, who stocked up offense with picks that included QB Andrew Luck, TE's Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, RB Vick Ballard and WRs T. Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazill.
Now the Colts hope to build around that young core, and although they have 14 unrestricted free agents, and only five draft choices, they reportedly have in the area of $44 million to spend.
Although the Colts offensive line was terrible last season (ProFootball Focus's 31st ranked offensive line...the 245 combined sacks, hits and hurries they gave up were 32 more than any other team), it didn't seem to stop the Colts (who posted a nine game jump in wins from 2011 to 2012) or Luck (2nd in Rookie of the year balloting, and set NFL record for yards passing yards by a rookie QB, with 4,183 on the season ).
It would appear, much like Manning was able to do before, Luck is able to cover up a lot of holes in the O-line, so although building a strong offensive line to protect their new franchise QB would certainly make sense, I expect the Colts to prioritize the defensive side of the ball, as Indianapolis tries to transition from an undersized Tampa-two 4-3 to a more stout 3-4.
While perennial pass rush demons Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis struggled to adjust to the new defense, former first round pick Jerry Hughes continued to be a disappointment .
Freeney is a free agent that will not be resigned, and picking #24 is likely too late to secure the services of a pass rusher like Dion Jordan, Damontre Moore, or Barkevious Mingo, leaving the possibility of Jarvis Jones (who may fall due to medicals = spinal stenosis), Alex Okafor, or Sam Montgomery.
#24 Sam Montgomery OLB/DE LSU: At 6'5 260, Although a more natural fit at defensive end, Montgomery may wish to lose a little of the weight he put on to play DE in LSU's 4-3 defense. Although his sack numbers dipped from his Sophomore to Junior seasons, he still has the skill to be a top pass rusher in the NFL.
#86 William Gholston, DE Michigan State: Playing DE in a 4-3 while standing 6'7 and 278 pounds rarely accentuates your positives, and much like Arizona's Calais Campbell, I expect Gholston to perform better as a 3-4 DE.
4th round: Khaled Holmes C/G, USC: 6'3 and a mere 302 at the NFL Combine, Holmes entered the 2012 as the #1 Center prospect, however injuries and poor performances against both Utah's Star Lotulelei, and Notre Dame's Louis Nix 111(each of which are 1st round caliber DTs listed above 320).
NOTE: Despite a poor season, USC plays a pro-style offense, and Holmes started all of 2010 at right offensive guard as a Sophomore, before moving to center for his Junior and Senior years.
6th round: Kapron Lewis-Moore 3-4 DE, Notre Dame: At 6'4, 306, KLM started 29 games while helping lead the Fighting Irish's reemergence on defense.
7th round: Alonszo Highsmith, ILB Arkansas: Listed at 6'1, 233: The son of former NFL running back (and current Green Bay Packers scouting executive) Alonzo Highsmith didn't have an easy path to SEC success. Lightly recruited coming out of high school and forced to junior college due to academics, Highsmith started all 13 games as a Junior, leading the Razorbacks with 12.5 tackles for loss (80 total stops, 4.5 sacks).
Unfortunately, he was not able to build upon that success during his Senior year, after he suffered a season-ending foot injury in early October.

Let's focus on human lives, not gun 'lives'
Re: the Feb. 1 article "Group seeks to ban destruction of guns that owners turn in."
I didn't think politics in Arizona could get any more embarrassing, but then I read this article. Now it seems that some want guns themselves to have rights. They have taken on lives of their own.
When will common sense and reasonableness return to our collective thinking? When will all people genuinely care more about protecting the lives of human beings than the "lives" of guns?
I can only hope it's sooner rather than later, after yet another tragic massacre.

Gerrymandering: Leaders picking voters
Re: the Feb. 4 article "Redistrict panelists can claim immunity"
Every time I read about the battles between our state legislators and the Independent Redis-tricting Commission, I'm reminded of Stephen Colbert's definition of gerrymandering.
He said voting districts used to be where the voters got to pick their leaders. Now, with gerrymandering, the leaders get to pick their voters. Too true, I believe.

Get road crews to work fixing those potholes
Re: the Feb. 3 guest opinion "City ready to host Gem showcase."
City Manager Richard Miranda's article makes no mention of the potholes a person has to drive over to get to the gem show venues. Many of these potholes are now sinkholes.
Take for example Grant Road from Oracle to Craycroft. This is a road Miranda needs to drive. If his city car survives without having to have major repairs, I would be surprised.
If the city of Tucson wants to showcase the gem show, it must have decent, driveable roads to these venues. I recently fell into one of these sinkholes and thought I lost my car.
How about loading up a dump truck with hot asphalt, a driver, flagman, two shovelers on the back, filling sinkholes from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day, including Saturdays and Sundays, like we used to do?

Use taxes for public, not private, schools
Both State Sen. Al Melvin and Jim Click boasted about Arizona's support of education on your editorial page.
Click likes the Empowerment Scholarship Account program using state funds to provide scholarships to private schools. And Melvin has long voted to gut public K-12 while favoring tax credits for private schools.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I find it extremely disturbing that the Legislature wants our hard-earned taxes to support private schools instead of focusing available funds on public schools - on "public education."
Private schools can be great, too. We sent one of our children to a private school and my husband was as an administrator at a private college. But we never expected public tax money to support those entities.
Arizona legislators and community leaders, please invest our taxes in "public education" to help Arizonans prepare for the jobs that will provide a healthy economy for Arizona's future.

Gay scoutmasters shouldn't be an option
I was a scoutmaster in the '70s. Ours was a highly active troop, with about 10 campouts or outings per year. Our meetings were always educational. We had leadership meetings with senior scouts at my house. My only issue at that time was getting enough parent involvement.
In the '70s there was a push to allow girls to join the Boy Scouts. Nothing new today; just another stab at this great program.
I know, and will never forget, the many times where I felt I had as much or more quality time talking with some of these boys, one to one, than some had with their own dad on a weekly basis. It is a special and important opportunity for any adult figure and for many of these boys.
Allowing gays to be scout-masters is not an option for those who wish to save this program or care to protect these boys. Thanks for speaking up, Gov. Perry.

Obama 2.0: The liberal agenda to come
Do not expect a return of the mythical moderate Obama, the one who speaks of bipartisanship with an earnest tone and dances cautiously around his liberal partners, trying not to brush too close to them. Tonight he is most likely to emerge arm in arm with them. He has more "flexibility" now.
Tonight the President makes clear his priorities, and they will share one common theme: More money and more power for Washington so that it may reshape America according to the image Barack Obama has envisioned.
There is to be no serious effort to eliminate the federal debt that already is harming our economy and will only do greater damage as it rapidly expands under a President who has no interest in controlling it. There is to be no serious entitlement reform, no serious reduction in federal spending or power.
On domestic issues, expect a highly partisan, exceedingly liberal call to expand the power, scope and size of the leviathan. On foreign policy, expect retreat.
Tonight, Obama begins in earnest his plan to become the liberal Reagan, to undo the Reagan legacy and restore the FDR-LBJ welfare state, only greater and with more power and authority to control the lives of citizens. The Republican response ought to be as strong and aggressive as the President's. Hit back, and hit back hard. This is a big moment. Live up to it.

Water UK, the body representing all the major water and wastewater companies in the UK, has expressed its support for proposals published today in the Draft Water Bill. These proposals pave the way to allowing business customers and those within the public sector to choose their water supplier, as well as opening up the water sector to new companies.
Pamela Taylor, Chief Executive of Water UK, said of the proposals:
Expanding the market and offering greater choice for business customers is the right reform at the right time. We already have experience of developing markets in Scotland and we are looking forward to applying this experience across England and Wales.
The Draft Bill also proposes new measures to encourage greater connectivity between water companies, an area in which Water UK is already leading the way.
Ms Taylor continued:
Water is our most precious resource and we have a responsibility to manage and conserve it. By working together across the water sector, we can ensure that we can respond quickly and effectively to the challenges of greater consumer demand and climate change. We have already begun this work and we are looking forward to working with the government, with regulators and with stakeholders to develop these proposals further.

Hey Giants fans,
I am a Tampa Bay transplant to San Francisco, and was wondering of anybody wants to meet up to watch the Rays game. We are welcome to anybody on this bandwagon....and besides, the Giants are not so different from the Rays in their make-up, at least the Giants of the second half. Since I am new to the area, I don't really know a good bar to go to, so any suggestions are welcome. You can reach me at email@example.com.
