Golf Tied For Sixth After Two
LMU sits in a tie for sixth at 2009 Anteater invitational.
March 30, 2009
Round Two Results in PDF Format
Laguna Niguel, CA -- The LMU men's golf team posted a two-round 603 to sit in a tie for sixth place with Cal Poly at the 2009 Anteater Invitational hosted by El Nigueal Country Club in Laguna Niguel, Calif., on Monday afternoon. The Lions are 18 strokes behind leader and host UC Irvine, who paced the 10-team field with a 585.
The Lions posted a first round 294 to sit just five strokes behind UC Irvine. However, afternoon wins picked up and made the Lions last rounds tougher as they finished with a 309 in the second round.
Freshman Jake Sarnoff is pacing the Lions with a two-round 148 on the par-72, 7,016-yard course. He had the most consistent rounds of the day for LMU, hitting a 73 and a 75. He is tied for seventh place, nine strokes behind leader John Chin of UCI.
Senior Greg Moss is also in the top-20 with a two-round 150. He is tied for 16th with rounds of 73 and 77. Sophomore John Lim is five strokes behind Moss with rounds of 79 and 76.
Senior Brian Locke had the biggest swing of the day. He posted a first-round 71 to sit three behind Chin, but finished with a two-round score of 156 for a tie at 35th. Junior Blake Nicolai rounds out the Lions scoring with a 158, good for a tie at 42nd.
The third and final round continues Tuesday at 7:30 a.m.

Weather warnings remain following floodsby Carrie Garrad
Weather warnings remain in place today following heavy rain that devastated many areas in the South West over the weekend. Properties in Dorset were flooded and many roads impassable after several inches of rain fell overnight into Saturday causing rivers to swell.
The clean up operation has long since started, but as the heavy showers continue to batter the region, a yellow rain alert from the Met Office has been maintained until midnight. Scattered heavy showers are expected to continue to develop throughout this afternoon and evening.
Although intensities will fall well short of those seen recently, the ground is so saturated in many areas that they may cause some local impacts - the public should be aware of the risk of localised surface water flooding as a result.
The Met Office has warned that up to 30mm of rain could fall within a few hours in some places. With rivers and streams already swollen and fields wet it could cause localised problems.
Burton Bradstock near Bridport in Dorset was badly hit. Some motorists had to be rescued from their cars as river levels on the Brit and Asker breached the banks.
Homes were not the only ones that fell victim to the heavy rain. The Festival of British Eventing, due to take place at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire later this week, has been cancelled because of the wet weather.
The unprecedented rainfall over the last month has produced exceptionally wet ground conditions. Due to the continuing unsettled weather we are unable to safely continue the preparations for the Festival._
We know that riders and spectators will be disappointed - especially as so many events have been cancelled already this year._
We did everything possible to ensure that the event took place but sadly the hard-working ground crew at Gatcombe Park have been defeated by the weather._
Around 50,000 people were expected at the event at the home of the Princess Royal, as well as some of the world's top riders. It's hoped the British Championships can be rescheduled for later in the year.

Updated Sunday !1:00pm
A very robust discussion on the thread below. I basically think the Blazers will make a run at Chris Paul and I think the Hollinger idea of moving Roy for Paul, as disturbing as that is to me, has a plausible ring to it. I mean one of the number 1 debates on this site is how do you find a guard that compliments Roy. Another topic is often Nate's offense and the fact that we never run even with the pieces we have that would thrive in a more uptempo scheme.
We all know Roy slows the ball down when he gets his hands on it, it works to his advantage tremendously to do that. Nate wants the team to run more, he says so all the time, I have heard him over the mic on telecasts yelling run and even then we still don't. Aldridge would benefit hugely from a more uptempo pace. Batum is built to run, Bayless runs, Fernandez would fit mu ch better that way, highlights of Matthews show he is comfortable running, Oden even has some wheels although he tires quickly. There is probably no Power Forward in the league that can match Aldridges speed up the court I would argue, and when there is a break to Aldridge, even though very rare, he has demonstrated time and again he knows what to do with it.
Hollingers trade pitch was Roy and Pryzbilla for Paul with Miller going to a third team and that player going to NO.
Here is the 2 deep line up with the Paul for Roy and Pryzbilla trade:
Paul - Bayless
Matthews - Fernandez
Batum - Babbitt
Aldridge - Cunningham
Oden - Camby
Going for a Collison Okafor for Pryz Rudy Bayless trade as outlined in the Friday update below:
Miller - Collison
Roy - Matthews
Batum - Cunningham
Aldridge - Camby
Oden - Okafor
I am firmly opposed to the trading Roy idea, but thought I would explore what that would look like. Unfortunately, it does have a certain logic to it. I also decided to put up a new Poll below.
Get a grip people. I mean seriously, is Chris Paul worth giving up the core of the team. I mean for real now. I have heard everything from moving 6 or 7 guys to moving Roy, Aldridge and/or Oden. Get a grip people.
I am not saying there is no move I would make to land Chris Paul, but some of the talk out there is just crazy. I mean flat out loony.
First off, this team is full of great guys who happen to be able to ball. They make a great story to follow, a group of young talent coming together and growing together to work towards the ultimate goal. The core of that storyline is Roy, Aldridge and Oden.
This kid is our franchise player. He IS the face of the team. Without him we may have taken even longer to shake off the JailBlazer image. Remember the days of turning on the news or picking up the paper and reading about pound bags of pot, fights in strip club parking lots and dog fighting rings? I do, and it was a miserable time. I knew people that went to the games just to boo the players. That is bad. Roy led the team briskly away from that era. He put the work in, he played his way into allstar games and he did it all without all of the off court turmoil we all grew tired of. Just considering trading him as he enters his NBA prime is insulting be it fans or Paul Allen.
LaMarcus may not have led the team out of the wilderness, but he played a key role in the resurrection. He is a solid player that with another year of experience under his belt may prove to be an All-Star as well, although it will probably take us winning a title to get him those honors. I know, people think he is soft and what not, but they just do not like his style of play. i wish they would just say that, but I suppose being insulting is the chosen way to make your point. Aldridge's game will never be traditional but his numbers are consistent. I could name at least 22 teams that would kill to have Aldridge on their roster for the pay we are giving him. It is not easy to find a guy that gives you almost exactly the same numbers every night like Aldridge does and he does it in an offense that does not actually take advantage of his strength. Think about that, Aldridge would function at a higher level offensively if we were a little more open throttle. We definitely do not play to his strength at all and yet he does nothing but put up 18 and 8 almost every single night.
There are several reasons why it would be insanity to trade Oden.
- He is a part of our core identity for a vast majority of fans, I mean come on, season tickets have been sold at high levels and that began with the Oden signing. Our sell out streak did not begin until he was a Blazer. If he can stay on the floor at or near his ideal weight he will be a dominant force in this league. Just look at where he got to last year in a short time, a large number of fans are in the Rose Garden because they want to see the Greg Oden story unfold before their eyes.
- With all of the Durrant v Oden posts could you imagine the moaning and whining on Bedge if we move Greg and he becomes the force many of us believe he can be and most of us hope he will be. I do not think I could bear it.
- He is just a good kid. No one feels worse than he does about his injury history. He put out a press release during that Houston game, before getting the medical treatment he needed, apologizing for getting hurt in such a fluke way. Think about it, he apologized to us, for something he could not control, before getting treatment he needed for crying out loud. We owe him a little loyalty for that kind of concern for us and Paul Allen does to for putting so many butts in the seats.
On Our Core 3
So my bottom line on any talk of moving any of these three for Chris Paul is it is just ridiculous. Total non-starter. Besides, I want to see this story until its end. We will know if Greg can hold up through this season. As for the other two Paul said it best when he mentioned he would not want to play here without Roy and Aldridge being here.
Other Trade Ideas
Now there are trade ideas out there I could accept, but frankly I am unwilling to give up both Camby and Joel to get it done. I am against sending more than 4 maybe 5 guys in any deal. I could go for a deal that includes either Joel or Camby and Batum, but I am not sure I would be happy about it. If you move Camby and Joel and Oden as some have suggested then we become a fantastically unbalanced roster. As someone pointed out on any number of CP3 threads it would be pointless to have an All Star PG on an near exclusively jump shooting team.
In the End
I really like this team. I would be happy if no further moves were made to be honest. After all these guys delivered 50 wins despite the injury gauntlet they ran last season. They easily could have finished with 58 wins had that not happened. I think a nice consolidation trade is in the works regardless of the CP3 situation and that makes sense, particularly if we can move a whiny Rudy in the process.
I am invested in these guys, losing Trout, Blake and Marty was hard enough even though the Blake Trout deal for Camby made perfect sense then and now (jury still out on the Marty move, although if the Blazers don't get much but Marty can finally break out I would be happy for him in any event.)
We need to finish this story. The most regrettable moments in life often are the times we do not see something through, this is a regret as a Blazer fan, I do not want to feel. These guys all work hard, play hard and have done amazing things for us as fans. Roy and Aldridge brought the Blazers back from NBA obscurity in 3 short seasons and came through a real trial by fire by getting through last season in more than respectable fashion given the circumstances. Greg put butts in seats for Allen, works hard to perform well for us and that means we, Paul Allen included, owe him our loyalty as long as he puts forth his effort to become the player we hope he can be. Greg has not given up for us, we should not give up on him.
Chris Paul is a great player and I can see making an aggressive move for him, but we must be cautious not to sell our soul in the process. I mean these guys turned a joke punchline of a franchise with an abyssmal storyline into one of the best stories in professional sports. We should not jump hastily to tear that up no matter how enticing the lure.
Remember that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
The more I think about, the more this is discussed the less I want Paul. It is not that he is not a great player that would not immediately improve any team, he is and would, but his contract is only 2 years. With one of those years predicted to be a lockout year that means we would only have him this season before he bolts for NYC or another big market. We can get better deals than that long term. Somebody recommended a Pryz, Rudy, Bayless trade with Euros and picks for Okafor and Collison. I am all for that, even with the bad contract for Okafor:
is a nice lineup, a real nice lineup in fact. Still need that Rim attacking PF in support, but the Paul trade does not address that anyway.

"Mortgage Rates on Extended Life Support"by Tim Manni
The biggest news involving mortgage rates last week was the Fed's decision to extend, not expand, the term of their $1.25 trillion MBS purchase program into 2010.
According to the latest issue of HSH's Market Trend's Newsletter — 'Mortgage Rates on Extended Life Support' — "Anyone who believed that the Federal Reserve would flip a switch and exit the mortgage market at the end of this year was proven wrong this week. The Federal Reserve extended the term of its $1.25 trillion MBS purchase program at least until March 31, 2010. Approximately two-thirds of that money has already been spent, and with the rest now being slated to be spread over a longer period of time, it necessarily means that the Fed's influence over conforming mortgage rates will wane somewhat."
"The overall average for 30-year FRMs moved just a lone basis point this week. HSH's FRMI closed Friday with five-day average of 5.49%. The FRMI's 5/1 Hybrid ARM counterpart shed two basis points, landing a 4.82%. Thirty-year FRM jumbos nudged closed to the 6% mark, a level last breached in September 2005."
"Other support programs for rates have differing expiration dates, and may inject their own influences into the mortgage and real estate markets. The Fed's program for purchasing $300 billion of Treasury debt has only about four more weeks to run, and the lack of a Federal Reserve to act as a sponge during times of oversupply could boost underlying interest rates which would in turn goose mortgage rates. The program for Fannie and Freddie to purchase certain "high-balance" conforming loans may or may not be extended past the end of the year, and to some degree could pressure the jumbo mortgage market. We should note that the $8,000 "first time" homebuyer tax credit will expire in November, and the end of that program may cause some falloff in home sales."

So the Liverpool bandwagon continues. Seven consecutive Premier League victories, and 32 points from a possible 36. It's also now 84 league goals for the season, further extending their record in the Premier League era. This is truly a resurgence of incredible proportions, and shows no sign of abating. Sunderland provided stubborn resistance for a period, and gave Liverpool a late scare thanks to more sloppy set piece marking, but were eventually defeated. It wasn't pretty, but this a time at which result is king.
Whatever the ending to Liverpool's incredible Premier League season, the re-emergence of the club within a period as short as twelve months is simply remarkable. The last team to win the league after finishing outside the top six the season before was Everton in 1985, and whilst this time last year Liverpool were 16/1 to finish in the top four, the best you can get after tonight's stroll over Sunderland is 1/100.
Such is the vast change of fortune at Anfield that, actually, winning the title doesn't matter. It would be a wonderful cherry atop a tasty cake, but the trust placed in Brendan Rodgers and his philosophy has already been vindicated.
Whilst it would be foolish to underestimate the amount to which FSG's financial backing has allowed Rodgers to progress (seven players signed in the last three transfer windows formed part of the squad against Sunderland), a 20-point increase from the same stage last season must be put down to something greater. Liverpool are a side playing with dangerous levels of confidence.
'Confidence' is very much the buzzword, perhaps traditionally viewed (in sporting terms, at least) as being soaked in management speak, with hints of New Age thinking. It is unquantifiable, impossible to falsely create and yet undoubtedly crucial in determining success or failure in the high performance arena of top-level sport. In football the term is inescapable, running like a cliche vein through the very fabric of the game's parlance. We talk of a 'new manager lift', strikers who 'just need one goal to get going' and goalkeepers who want to 'get a touch of the ball early', all phrases that refer to the importance of self-belief.
It is here where Rodgers has made the biggest difference at Anfield. Against Sunderland, it was again totally apparent, a swagger and verve to much that Liverpool did. Midfielders such as Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen, much-maligned in the not-too-distant past, are now eager to receive the ball at feet, even with back to goal and an opponent in close proximity. When the free kick was awarded against Santiago Vergini, Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Daniel Agger all pleaded to take the set piece - Anfield is not a place where violets are often to be seen shrinking.
Talk to any Liverpool player, and the response is the same. "He [Rodgers] gives everyone confidence. When you step on to the pitch you know that he's behind you," was Simon Mignolet's assessment, whilst Kolo Toure has been equally impressed. "We have a great manager here," Toure told the Liverpool Echo. "He knows what he wants and as a player he gives you confidence." Captain Gerrard recently labelled Rodgers as his best ever man-manager, and again that word comes up: "You go out feeling full of confidence and belief. His one-on-one management is the best I've known."
It is Raheem Sterling's words that offer the biggest insight. "He's told me to do what I've been doing in the youth team and just be confident and get on the ball. I'm in that zone now where I can express myself and come out of my shell."
Sterling's use of the word 'zone' is key, coming up in almost every discussion of sporting confidence and also referred to as psychological flow. Proposed by Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, it concerns the mental state at which an individual is performing an activity immersed in focus or involvement. No doubts, no worries over form or failure and no concerns over a manager losing faith in you should you make a mistake.
At the highest level, every striker has the capability of putting the ball into the top corner, every midfielder can play the perfect pass and every defender can make the cleanest slide tackle. The regularity to which this occurs depends largely on the mental well-being of the individual. When in the aforementioned 'zone', such passes or shots are made even without thinking, relying on a subconscious muscle memory rather than a deliberate action.
It is easy to criticise Rodgers' faux-philosophy schtick (I know, I've criticised it myself), but there is little doubt that his very public displays of belief in his players has given them an assurance clearly missing during four years of underperformance.
'Anything is possible for those who believe' read the banner passed across the bottom of the Kop before kick-off. Given the positivity provided by Brendan Rodgers' impressive man-management, very little seems out of reach for Liverpool.

Horse back riding, miniature horses, and hay rides isn't what you'd normally expect to find at an open house. That's what visitors enjoyed as the Texas Boys Ranch opened its doors to the public Sunday.
For the past four years, the ranch has put on the free event to get in touch with the community.
Executive Director of the Boys Ranch, John Sigle says, "The horse back riding is probably the biggest event because everyone enjoys riding horses it seems" "We're in the business of helping children heal, and we want folks to know that we're here."
The ranch has been part of the community for more than 30-years and offers a safe place for abused and neglected children. They help nearly 50 children every year.

At Thursday's UFC 159 media day, Ariel Helwani gets a Chael Sonnen reaction to Jones' claim. 'Everyone knows Chael Sonnen has done steroids throughout his whole career'
he knows hes gonna get KOd
"i just spit on you"
"its an honor"
No U never did steroids….just but loads of testosterone….and u
we have no evidence….. so it doesnt count….LMAO…..loser
Sonnen "..I don't know why he would say that, I resent it.."
Anderson Silva should sue Sonnen, so must the country of Brazil.
Jew man trying to stir up trouble again.
You can't sue somebody for saying the truth or else you'll look like that douchebag Lance Armstrong.
Yup, he knows he will lose.
people here talk crap about chael but at least the guy is not scare to go up and fight jones .
he got my repect
don't forget to go for a spinning back fist Chael!!!
^^^^^couture –ur a fool, anyone would fight jones,I would fight him for that kind of money. chael knows talking is the only way he can make money because winning obviously doesn't work for him.he should stay as a commentator.
Spot on I agree it was a really reckless statement by Jon Jones but he is a kid and kids say the darnedest things. Anyways the suing comment was a bit silly also doubt he would've gone threw with it even if Jones didn't retract his statement. But here is to Chael and hopefully winning.
@ash- Well said dude. Well said. Chael will get his ass beat for that lovely paycheck. This isn't about fighting, it's about money.
Sounds like the hater board. unemployed but have unlimited internet and sit around and talk s*** all day while drinking a 40….real classy
@ Ash,Nikki,& MMa
I would definitely fight him too for that cash! Dana draws the money with the veterans of the sport? Can't wait to see ufc 160. It's a great card of fighters!
For those that think Chael doesn't stand a chance – revisit his 1st fight with The Spider. Will Bones win? Most likely. Does Chael have the skills to bring an upset? Absolutely. Although Chael loves to run his mouth, to say he is all talk is nonsense. If the potential wasn't there the fight would not be happening.

About Mercedes-Benz SLK230
A Mercedes-Benz SLK230 is a fun to drive compact roadster that was initially designed to compete with the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3. The SLK-Class was launched in Europe for the 1996 model year and was built on the R170 platform; with the SLK being available in the US for the 1997 model year. One of the cool features of the SLK was the retractable hardtop, which was one of the first modern hardtop convertibles. A Mercedes-Benz SLK230 is compact, light and sporty giving you the ultimate combination of driving excitement. The SLK-Class was largely successful and filled a void in the roadster market, between the years of 1996 to 2004 there were over 311,000 SLKs sold. The retractable hardtop roof is known as the Vario Roof that consists of a folding steel hardtop that is divided in half along the direction of travel. With just a push of a button the hydraulic system goes into action with five cylinders in place to control the automatic convertible. When the SLK230 was first introduced this was one of the stand out features since a hardtop convertible roof design was not common and didn't exist previously in the compact roadster class. In 2000 the Mercedes SLK230 received a facelift including redesigned front and rear bumpers, body colored side skirts and new mirrors with turn signal indicators. The Mercedes SLK230 came with a 2.3 liter supercharged four-cylinder engine as the only power plant option, producing just under 200 horsepower. In 2005 the SLK-Class was totally redesigned with the introduction of the sleek R171 chassis.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
While walking to the office this morning, coffee splashing out of our coffee cup sip-top, we started wondering: If we were in London right now, where would we grab a morning cup of joe and how much would it cost?
When last we pounded the pavement researching hotels in London for our guide, we remembered fondly finding respite (and caffeine) in the UK coffee chains (Caffe Nero, Costa Coffee, Coffee Republic, Pret a Manger) and, yes, also in the American chains (Starbucks and McDonald's).
Setting aside the question of the "best cup of coffee in London," (another post entirely), where can you find the cheapest cup?
Researching this online was a no-go. Every chain has its own website, of course, but you won't find any prices listed. This is probably due to fluctuations in pricing throughout the UK — and to prevent pesky investigators from blogging about it. So we went about our research the old fashioned way… we called 'em on the phone. (Thank you, Vonage.)
Note that coffee prices inside London may vary for the same chain, as well. Thus, we called only coffee outlets in central London, asking for prices for a small latte and for a small Americano ("drip" coffee isn't widely available). Keep in mind that true sizes may differ from chain to chain — even though they're all called "small," one chain may offer more ounces.
We also only inquired about "take away" prices — when we started asking too many questions, baristas and managers got a little nervous.
The results:
Caffe Nero – The Winner!
Small Americano: £1.30 ($2.56)
Small Latte: £1.50 ($2.95)
We spoke to baristas at two central Caffe Nero locations, both near Covent Garden, in order to verify the price. These are nearly New York prices.
Runners Up
Pret a Manger
Small Americano: £1.40 ($2.76)
Small Latte: £1.79 ($3.52)
We're fans of these cute little outlets. We spoke to a barista at a location on Villiers Street, near the Strand.
Drip: £1.59/1.99 ($3.13/3.92)
Latte: £1.59/1.99 ($3.13/3.92)
We spoke to a manager (we believe) near a location on the Strand. We asked too many questions and he hung up on us. Interestingly, McDonald's was the only chain we called that serves drip coffee instead of Americano. Also, they don't have "small" sizes, only "medium" and "large." (What, no "supersized"?)
Pricier Coffee Chains
Coffee Republic
Small Americano: £1.69 ($3.32)
Small Latte: £1.89 ($3.72)
We spoke to a friendly barista at a popular location on Tottenham Court Road.
Costa Coffee
Small Americano: £1.70 ($3.35)
Small Latte: £1.95 ($3.84)
A nice guy at the Embankment Place location (near the Strand) offered these rates, although he was curious. "Are you a customer?" he asked us. Of course! (We have enjoyed a Costa cup in the past, after all.)
Starbucks – Most Expensive
Small Americano: £1.75 ($3.45)
Small Latte: £2.05 ($4.04)
The prices were given to us by a barista at a Villiers Street location, near the Strand. This confirmed our suspicions that the Seattle-based chain was, in fact, the priciest coffee-chain cup in town. Or at least, the priciest cup we called.
We didn't have time to check in on cool independent cafes in London, but that's another post.
Yes, but Costa Coffee–last I checked–had a frequent beverage drinker program… And if you are a repeat customer, you can receive a free beverage after a certain number (8? 10? cups)… Anyone else know about this?
If cheap is your goal, I have some burnt sawdust I could run through my socks with some hot water for just a few pence.
Yeah, I know there are lots of those frequent buyer programs, but I always lose those cards. And, maybe I don't want to spend $20 at Costa alone.
try linking to the Wikipedia sites, you'll discover Pret is owned by McDonalds. FWIW all of the chains server awful coffee, but the best of the ones you listed is Nero IMO.
Thanks for the great tips.
Any independent coffee shops? Surely, a few are cheaper than the chains…

This is by no means a plain and simple picks for player trade but anyone that can follow it can see it's pretty flawless
What makes this trade impeccably perfect is the fact that it is a mid-season trade. There are a few things that will need to happen in order for it to work but all of those things are very likely to happen. The 2 most important contingencies would have to be the Bulls and The Timberwolves struggling before the all-star break. The rest are minor details such as players maintaining health and recent trends in minutes and statistics.
The bulls would get Andrei Kirilenko, Brandon Bass, Derrick Williams, Brandon Rush, Jamar Smith, Boston's 2014 first round draft pick, Golden State's 2014 1st draft, The T-wolf's 2014 first round draft pick, and Brooklyn's 2014 & OKC's 2013 2nd round draft picks (from Boston) for Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Rip Hamilton, Belinelli and Charlotte's 2013 first round pick
[Andrei Kirlenko and a 1st & 2nd round pick for Boozer and Belinelli ] [Derrick Williams Brandon Bass + a 1st round pick for Deng] [Brandon Rush Jamar Smith + a 2nd round pick for Rip Hamilton]
The bulls free up enough cap space to sign Andrew Bynum or Al Jefferson to a max contract and Taj Gibson to a hefty extension. They also get some very nice rental bench pieces as well as 3 2014 first round draft picks to fill in any holes all while moving Boozer's bloated contract and injury plagued Richard Hamilton.
Golden State gets Luol Deng Courtney Lee Rip Hamilton and Belinelli for Klay Thompson Harrison Barns Brandon Rush Richard Jefferson and a 2014 & 15 first round pick (protected)
[Luol Deng and Courtney Lee for Klay Thompson Harrison Barns and a 1st rounder][Rip Hamilton for Richard Jefferson + a 1st round draft pick] [Belinelli for Brandon Rush]
It's safe to say defense is not exactly the Warriors strong suite. They don't have an able bodied defender in their starting 5 and possibly not on their roster. Luol Deng, Courtney Lee, and Rip Hamilton are all considered above average defenders. Golden State not only gains an all-star small forward they get an instant defensive boost without sacrificing offense and maintaining the ability to thrive in transition.
The T-Wolfs get Carlos Boozer Jeff Green Richard Jefferson Fab Mello Charlotte's 2013 1st round draft pick Boston's 2013 & 15 first round draft Golden State's 2015 1st round pick for Kevin Love Andrei Kirilenko Derrick Williams and a 2014 draft 1st round draft pick
[Boozer Richard Jefferson Fab Mello+3 1st round picks for Kevin Love] [Jeff Green for Andrei Kirlenko and Derrick Williams]
The Timberwolves avoid going through a painful "Dwightmare" and surround Ricky Rubio with some quality (over-priced) players. Andrei Kirilrnko and Brandoy Roy have been out of NBA for at least a year Kevin Love has never played in a playoff game and made it clear that he wants to be "surrounded by greatness" no player on the T-wolfs roster's qualifies as such. The sad truth is the T-wolf's will be forced to trade Kevin Love maybe not this year maybe not next year but they will eventually face the same ugly situation the Magic just faced so instead of having a media nightmare and years of mediocrity why not trade while his value is sky high and gain a real chance to make some waves all while building around a promising (and popular)young point guard.
Boston gets Kevin Love Klay Thompson and Harrison Barns for Jeff Green Brandon Bass Courtney Lee Jamar Smith Fab Mello 3 first round draft picks and 2 second round draft picks
[Fab Mello Jamar Smith + a 1st round pick for Harrison Barns] [Courtney Lee+ a 2nd round pick for Klay Thompson][Jeff Green Brandon Bass +2 first round and a 2nd round draft picks for Kevin Love]
Kevin Love and Rajon Rondo cannot and will not be stopped. Kevin Love allows KG to move back to 4 spot which keeps him happy and away from bruising big men. Also everyone has raved about the Celtics added depth this offseason but in reality behind Paul Pierce and the 36 year old KG the Celtics have Chris Wilcox (who didn't play most of last season) Jason Collins Fab Mello and Kris Joseph. So while the Celtics have depth in the places they need it the least behind Rondo, Avery Bradley, and Brandon Bass they have done nothing to solve their rebounding woes or prepare for the eventual decline of Paul Pierce and KG. This trade gives the C's a promising future after Paul Pierce and KG, adds much needed rebounding, and gives us a chance to spoil the lakers desperate attempt to dethrone the Celtics as the most dominate and winning franchise in basketball history

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Water is something we can't live without but many of us take the water we use for granted. Today hundreds of students got the chance to learn all about the importance of water and the importance of conservation at the 8th annual Regional water festival.
Everyday we drink it, bathe in it and occasionally we even play in it. "Water is so important because we drink it, if it is not clean we may catch diseases the fishes could die," said Jamesheonna Wilson.
And as our most precious resource, its important we do all we can to make sure our water supply stays safe. "I think its important for them to understand the water supply is finite, It's conserved which means there is no extra water coming into the system," said Meteorologist Jay Polk.
Today, hundreds of students got the chance to learn all about water and the importance it plays in our daily lives. "The water we have now is the same water that you and I will have when we are older and it's the same water that our parents had when they were younger too," said Polk.
Close to 1,000 students from Dougherty, Terrell, Webster, and Randolph counties will visit the Flint RiverQuarium this week for the annual Water festival. "This is my third one and it seems every year the kids understand a little bit more about how the water supply is important to them," said Polk.
Its an event 5th grader Donnie Jones says he has been looking forward to for years. "I've been looking forward to coming back since first grade," said Jones.
WALB News 10 Meteorologist Jay Polk spent time talking with students about the weather and the water cycle. "They are fascinated about how the water cycle works they are fascinated about how their water supply gets from the sky to the ground to their faucets," said Polk.
Students also learned about conserving water, the importance of hand washing, and even what role mosquito control plays in the water source.
Students also learned about how oil and water don't mix, agricultural water use, and water and soil erosion.
The event runs through Thursday from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

text: I think we're a lock on the 3 seed, especially given the way we breezed thru the Pac-10 tourney (no game was ever in doubt, not even close!) I think we have a shot at a 2 seed, but I would much rather get a 3 seed and stay in the West (where the first 4 potential games would be in Cali) rather than a 2 seed somewhere else. As mentioned previously, the 2 to 3 difference is less important than a 3 to 4 seed difference. Another reason why I favor a 3 seed (assuming it's in the West) over a 2 seed (elsewhere) is the underdog mentality that would favor our young team. I guess another possibility would be for us to get a 4 seed (I really would be surprised - if we do it would have to be out West). I don't know what's better, a 4 seed in the West or a 3 seed elsewhere. The only way I'd prefer the 4 seed in the West is if the Zags are the 1 seed in the West. Give me your thoughts.

Introducing Avignon
Ringed by incredibly preserved 800-year-old stone ramparts, graceful Avignon's turn as the seat of papal power bestowed the city with a treasury of magnificent art and architecture, none grander than the massive medieval fortress and papal palace, Palais des Papes. In romantic counterpoint, Pont d'Avignon – of nursery-rhyme fame – spans halfway across the Rhône. Ancient cobbled streets pass inviting boutiques; leafy squares overflow with cafe tables; and in July thousands come for Avignon's renowned performing-arts festival.

I was talking to a friend about who we should draft with our lottery pick. First, we can already rule out Kyrie Irving, well... for obvious reasons. Then I thought of Perry Jones who's gotten a lot of buzz so my friend and I checked out his draft profile and it really scared us that they said he was "passive." Another thing is that he also really is more of a guard stuck in a freakishly athletic 6'11 PF's body.
So who else is there?
My friend thought of Jared Sullinger. I am a fan of him and I think he'll be a good PF in the NBA but his height still raises some doubts in my mind. Not to mention, there has also been talks about "conditioning issues." But everything I've seen about him makes him seem like a great kid.
via devinyoung.sportsblognet.comThen I said how about Derrick Williams and my friend said who is that? So I went and showed him. Now one thing I didn't know about him was that he's considered a tweener. Now, I really like Williams because of how efficient he's been along with him being a good rebounder. But, again, the idea that he isn't a pure SF scares me because he is definitely NOT a PF.
I didn't say anything about Kanter because I don't anything about him but I'd love to find out more.
And I didn't talk about Harrison Barnes because he's really slipped (although he's been better recently). Barnes has the ability to be the #1 pick but he really hasn't shown it enough throughout the whole season
I hope no one gets me wrong, I'm not saying that all these players are not worthy of being drafted high. I just thought I'd share some insight on a couple red flags. And my personal pick would be Derrick Williams.

Across all of my deeper leagues, invariably Chipper Jones is on one of the top teams. In the shallow leagues, Chipper is buoying teams above fifth place all by myself. Heard the Braves announcers talk about Chipper's chances at .400. A question that would make more sense is, "What's Chipper's chance to get 400 at-bats?"

Of all the things the NFL does well — and that list is long — selling hope is probably what it does best. The idea that your team is a tipped pass here, a made field goal there away from a playoff appearance. After all that, once you're in, who knows? Just listen to your local sports-radio station and listen to New York Jets "super fans" talk themselves into expecting wins on the upcoming schedule: "I mean, we're not losing to the Bills at home, and we get the Pats late… They may have clinched by then! I gotta tell ya', I think we can get to 10 EASY."
With the Jets, don't be that guy.
Not this year, anyway.
To be honest, we can count on one hand the amount of times we have went into a season and thought "Oh yeah, they're good. People need to look out for the Jets this year." The Parcells years — right up until Vinny Testaverde blew out his Achilles — brought with them that sense. And the 2010 offseason, where Woody Johnson finally got to spend like a proper New York owner (no salary cap) and brought in LaDainian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes and Antonio Cromartie to add to a squad that shocked just about everybody the prior year in making it to the AFC Championship game.
The mantra of "Play Like a Jet!" didn't just seem like nonsense fan bluster (in heavy supply, despite their sad history), it seemed real.
But, of course, it wasn't.
It never really is with the Jets.
Now, three years removed from that spending spree, the check has come due, and left in its wake a team with little hope on the offensive side of the ball, and little depth all around.
The sticking point with the 2013 Jets is that the perception of them will be much worse than the actual product that takes the field in Week 1 vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thanks to Mark Sanchez's oftentimes comedic struggles (insert Buttfumble gif), and a memorable season of Hard Knocks that makes it appear as though head coach Rex Ryan is more Blutarsky than Belichick, the overriding theory on the Jets is that they will Keystone Kops their way to a 2-14, 3-13 campaign.
Yet, the reality is probably worse than even that. As in most sports, you really don't want to be mediocre. You want to be at the mountaintop, or in the cellar, so that you might start a quick rebuild. The fact is that the Jets defense is probably going to be very good, with Ryan taking back primary control of the unit, and front seven that boasts emerging star Muhammad Wilkerson up front, along with explosive second-year players Kenrick Ellis and Quinton Coples, means teams expecting to move the ball on the ground will find that task fairly difficult.
The big question here is in the secondary, where the Jets need Anotonio Cromartie to continue his Pro-Bowl play and rookie Dee Milliner has to adjust to life in the NFL faster than current nickelback and 2010 first-rounder Kyle Wilson did. If Milliner lives up to his billing, and Sanchez isn't giving them short fields to defend all season, this unit could shine.
But has there ever been a bigger "if" in recorded history? Even if Mark Sanchez finally takes the leap and justifies all the press he's received, justifies the huge extension given to him by now departed GM Mike Tannenbaum, justifies the attention gifted to him by simply existing as a quarterback in New York, he's still surrounded shaky skill-position players and an offensive line that no longer boats four Pro Bowlers.
Yes, Mark Sanchez could become a decent NFL quarterback and we might never even know it.
A proposed running back committee of Mike Goodson, Chris Ivory and Joe McKnight could feature none of them due to injuries or legal issues, respectively. Instead, Billal Powell — a fan favorite but hardly an every-down NFL back — could be your opening day starter. Throw in a wide receiver corps unsure if it will get Santonio Holmes back from his Lisfranc injury, Stephen Hill who has battled injuries and an inability to consistently catch the football (sort of a big deal for an NFL wide receiver), Braylon Edwards whose best days are behind him, and you're looking at Jeremy Kerley or Clyde Gates attempting to shake Darelle Revis (of all people) in Week 1.
Not to mention that Sanchez's favorite target, tight end Dustin Keller, has fled to Miami and yes, folks, this offense could be a dumpster fire.
So where does that leave us? A team that won't do much scoring, but won't surrender much either — at first. No matter how talented the staff on Rex's defense may be, no matter how exotic the blitz schemes he draws up, nobody is going to stop the offenses in today's NFL for 60 minutes. The potential for dreadfully boring football games looms. Seventeen weeks of 13-9 football games is nobody's idea of fun Sundays in the Fall.
So what of "hope"? What's a perfect world for Jets fans in 2013? Sanchez relieved of duty by rookie quarterback Geno Smith? Who then inherits a unit with both proposed running backs and Santonio Holmes intact in time to lead them on a miraculous playoff berth, only to (best case) be thumped by the Broncos in the second round?
Or is it the other way? Sanchez remains, does Sanchez things all year, the defense is hit with key injuries and the Top-10 Worst Teams Countdown on NFL Network gets a new applicant, which leads to a new coach, Jadeveon Clowney and the cycle begins anew?
Sadly, what will actually happen will fall somewhere in the middle. Not good enough to challenge the Pats in the AFC East, but not bad enough to score a once-in-a-lifetime stud like Clowney. Good enough to keep Ryan around for one more year, but bad enough that Geno Smith gets the keys somewhere around Week 5 and Sanchez is probably out of football this time next year. And maybe by then the brainstrust of Johnson and Idzick will have a plan that will get this franchise back to respectability it seemed to be on the cusp of seizing for good just a scant three years ago.
They hope.

Now that your Thanksgiving plate is clean, hope you saved some leftovers. We're not talking food, we're talking trash. All of that grease left behind from all the cooking.
The day after Thanksgiving is considered Black Friday for the plumbing industry as well. Clogged drains will be big business. It is the busiest day for plumbers, who say, too many people are treating their kitchen sinks like a trash can.
Charles Zimmerman with Al Coronado Plumbing responded to half a dozen calls for service on Thanksgiving day. He expects Friday to be a lot busier.
Zimmerman said too many people were pouring turkey grease after deep frying their turkeys down the drain. That, along with turkey skin, and vegetable peelings were enough to lead to big backups that required emergency service.
The cost to clean out the big lumps of grease from a drain pipe can range from $300 to $20,000, if the back up ends up in pipes under the foundation of your home.
There is a much better alternative to get rid of that grease.
Colleen Crowninshield the manager of the Clean Cities Coalition urged residents to pour it into empty coffee cans, jars or milk cartons and bring it to a local collection site on Friday.
"We can put it to use. We make a bio diesel out of it. It's an eight hour process, and it can be used in any diesel engine with no retrofits needed to that engine," said Crowninshield.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, in four locations in Tucson and one in Sahuarita.
The Tucson Fire Department will be there with a fire truck and crew to help with the grease pour. Staff are also urging residents to bring an unwrapped toy for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.
The Toys for Tots will also be set up at O'Rielly Chevrolet and the City of Tucson Water Plant No. 2 location.
More than 21,600 pounds of grease have been collected since the event began in 2005.
For more information you can log onto www.PAGregion.com or www.pima.gov/government/WastewaterReclamation/grease.
Here is a list of the grease collection locations:
East- O'Reilly Chevrolet 6160 E. Broadway Blvd. Tucson

text: gattis is not good enough to be a starting anything in the bigs! Freddie Gonzalez is as bad as his post season roster and fw, I hope his hands are tied. I am a life long braves fan. I started out when you could go to fulton co. and pick your seat, I saw some good teams and games of which i'll go into deeper another time. Cox and John Shuerholtz ran a class organization. we had a nice run and there was never anything to be ashamed of during those years. last year, the post season roster Freddie chose was a joke. Chipper the face of the team and one of my all time favorite players was treated like an enemy by his team. I never thought I would feel and think of the braves organization as a low class entity as I did last year. Just because Chipper picked them to lose doesn't mean he was pulling against them. If the players didn't have the class to do the right thing the manager should have made them. I was so disgusted and still don't feel the same about my team as I once did. i'm not the greatest writer to ever live but this is the way I feel and it sux.

2 new solar farms connected in October, added to the 12 already connected this year and a pipeline to build 152 MW in 16 different farms between November 2013 and April 2014, place the company as one of the major EPC project companies in Europe.
GRUPOTEC will be responsible for designing the plant, project drafting, licenses and procedures, selection of suppliers, project management, monitoring and quality control, deadlines and budget of the works until commissioning.
GRUPOTEC will build a "turn-key" Atmospheric Dehydration Treatment Plant to harness the residual heat of biogas motors (generated in the same landfill). The Montalbán Environmental Complex processes all the domestic waste of the province of Córdoba. In addition, GRUPOTEC will be responsible for its operation for a year.
GRUPOTEC has successfully connected 46 megawatts of solar photovoltaics to the UK grid in the last 9 weeks. The construction, which involved 12 different projects across the South-west of England, is one of the highest quantities of PV installed anywhere in the world in this short timeframe.
ALSA, the comprehensive transport operator, contracts GRUPOTEC to expand its presence in North Africa.
The PANSTAR GROUP hires GRUPOTEC to execute various projects.

COMANCHE CO., Okla_ A Comanche County child abuse case against a mother
is set to go to trial following the beating death of her 10-year old son.
At Friday's preliminary
hearing for Denise Ray, her attorney argued there wasn't enough evidence to
prove Ray had ever abused her son. It was a long shot especially after she
testified just a few months ago that she had hit her son with a board the night
he died.
In June of this
year, Ray testified in a murder trail against her husband Lancey Ray, who was later
found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the boy.
A jury found
that Lancey's brutal beating of the boy was so severe that his injuries were
what led to his death. Denise testified she too had hit her son with a wooden
board, but her attorney argued Friday that it didn't prove abuse.
Police records
showed that Denise told detectives that she had in fact broke the board over
her son behind while spanking him. The judge said that was enough to allow her
to stand trial.
Denise has been released on $50,000 bond.

I sat down to watch a little television tonight and came across tonight's episode of Secret Millionaire on ABC. Tonight's episode featured Chuck Runyon and Dave Mortensen, the founders of the Anytime Fitness Franchise. They went to Oklahoma City in search of some worthy folks to bless with a little piece of their fortunes. My wife will not sit with me to watch this show because it is guaranteed to get her mascara running. I, on the other hand, love this show. It is one of the few media outlets that is sure to keep me on fire to help others and inspires me to keep working tirelessly to make TFSP a success. I find it such a blessing to see people giving of themselves to change people's lives. That is what I want for TFSP. I want to be that guy. I want to be the guy who goes and spends the day with some people and then slaps a fat check in their hands. I want to be that guy who helps to change people's lives. I tell you what, that show is enough to make any tough guy shed a tear or two and I am no exception. In a world where apathy seems to be a primary commodity, it is a blessing to know that there are still people who care. Join us and we can deliver the same sort of hope to those in need. I thought that might brighten your day. God bless -Mike

Albany-- It's hard to measure the importance of the Flint River Basin south Georgia's economy, human welfare, and environment. The water supply played a critical role in our region's development, and remains the life blood of Southwest Georgia's economy.
That's why decisions about future water use are so important. Experts with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the Southwest Georgia Water Resources Task Force met at Darton College today.
They talked about the state's most critical natural resource and what can be done to balance water use as our economies expand.
"We have been very focused on working here in Southwest Georgia to find the right balance between managing the resources of the aquifer here and I am very appreciative of the stake holders of Southwest Georgia that were involved with the EPD to make sure that as we are developing our policies were dialing them in just right" said Carol Couch with the EPD.
The Task Force has been meeting for seven years, and is trying to develop a plan for Georgia's water future. Feedback:

Do you have a story to tell but haven't the time to tell it? Are you looking for a ghostwriter?
Then let me help you.
A journalist and editor of over 15 years experience, I have ghostwritten a number of titles for high-profile BBC experts and presenters.
I can help you get your story on paper and on the shelves, liaising with publishers to see your book through to market.
As well as autobiographies and non-fiction books, I can also ghostwrite articles and columns for magazines and newspapers.
I specialise in a number of areas, including:
- Science and nature
- Rural affairs
- Entertainment
- Corporate and Business
I'm always interested in hearing from people with good stories to tell. If you think that you, or one of your clients, has a story that would make a good book then please contact me today.
Ghostwriter FAQ
Click below to find the answers to your ghostwriting questions:
How does Ghostwriting work?
Most ghostwriting projects start with a series of recorded interviews that are transcribed and used as the basis of your story or idea.
After initial discussions, the ghostwriter will help you create an outline for the book or article. This will map out its structure, using the ghostwriter's experience and expertise of what will interest publishers and readers.
Depending on the book or article, a number of further interviews will be agreed to delve deeper into the subject.
If required the ghostwriter will also carry out additional research and fact-checking.
After this is all completed, you will be sent a first draft of the article or book for your approval. This gives you the chance to check key facts, make sure you're happy with the tone and request revisions before the manuscript is submitted to a publisher.
How long will it take?
This depends on the project. No two ghostwriting jobs are identical and the time your project will require will depend on the topic, length and the amount of additional research.
To give you some idea, a 70 – 80,000 word book will take between three to six months to research and write.
When the first draft is written and submitted to a publisher there will be a period of edits and revisions, which may take up to a month.
How much will it cost?
Your ghostwriter is paid out of the advance you are given by the publisher.
An advance is usually paid in three instalments:
- on signing the contract
- on delivery of an accepted manuscript
- on first publication.
The ghostwriter's fee is paid in the same instalments.
What if I don't have a publisher?
Don't worry. It's extremely rare for a project to start with a publisher already on board.
In most cases, a proposal must be prepared to send to literary agents and publishers. This consists of a description of the book, a detailed chapter breakdown and three sample chapters.
I will charge a fee for preparing the proposal and sample chapters. Once a deal with a publisher has been finalised, this development charge will be deducted from the overall fee.

Just kidding
But I liked SpecialSauce's post about how Golden State is a likely trade partner for us before the trade deadline. We desperately need shooters and they desperately want a center.
However, I disagreed with his idea of trading McGee for Monta Ellis. Monta is a ball dominant undersized two guard who would essentially add a slightly more talented Nick Young to the team.
So I thought I'd give my idea for a trade with them and include my idea for an offseason plan.
Javale McGee
Jordon Crawford
Mo Evans
Keep in mind we would have to wait till Mo Evans is allowed to be traded in order to make this deal and by then Ronny Turiaf should be nearing full health. This would allow Turiaf to hold down the fort at Center until the offseason.
Starting Lineup till offseason:
SG Nick Young, Klay Thompson
SF Dorell Wright, Chris Singleton, Rashard Lewis
PF Trevor Booker, Jan Vesely,
C Turiaf, Seraphin
Even though we would be left severely undersized by this trade it would give Wall plenty of catch and shoot players for him to kick the ball out to. And who knows maybe we could trade for another big or sign a player like Joel Pryzbilla to help out.
Fire Randy Wittman and Ernie Grunfeld and make a run at Brian Shaw and some G.M. (I don't know any G.M.'s)
Then in the offseason I would cut Lewis, let Nick Young walk and amnesty that one PF whose name shall not be said.
Then I would target Landry Fields because he is a good character, solid starter who can catch and shoot, rebound, and is an unrestricted free agent.
Secondly we could sign Jeff Green because he's unrestricted and there seems to be a mutual interest with him and DC.
Then I would make a run at Omer Asik and/or Ian Mahinmi to play center since both are unrestricted free agents who can play D and have potential.
However, I have to admit I'm practically assuming we could get a guy like Anthony Davis, or Drummond in the draft. If not we could target someone like Sullinger or Robinson to play PF. I'm not even going to guess who we could get with our second round picks.
That would leave us with this lineup going into next season:
John Wall-Shelvin Mack
Landry Fields-Klay Thompson
Dorell Wright-Jeff Green
Anthony Davis (dreaming?)- Booker T.-Jan Vesely
Omer Asik- Ian Mahinmi (or resign Turiaf)- Kevin "has no talent" Seraphin
What do you think? Do you think GS would make the trade? Could we possibly get another 1st round pick in the deal? Would we have to include any of our 2nd round picks? You tell me.
I tried to be realistic and I think I generally was except for maybe the Davis pick.

News: Eminem Operates Shady Facelift, "I'm Taking This Year To Try & Reestablish The Label"
Friday, May 20, 2011 12:25PM
Starting off the year with acquiring Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf to his roster, Grammy-winning rapper Eminem speaks on his further plans to strengthen his Shady Records imprint.
Em credits his inspiration to rebuild Shady Records to rap quartet Slaughterhouse's impression on hip-hop.
"The whole Slaughterhouse thing and what Royce [Da 5'9] was doing when they formed that group, it was exciting to me just because, aside from the Detroit connection that I already had with Royce, to me it's just exciting for hip-hop because it's so new and fresh and different," Slim Shady said. "And also, at the same time, I feel like I'm kinda taking this year to try and reestablish and rebuild the label back too." (MTV)
Last summer, Em's manager Paul Rosenberg revealed the rapper's determination to give Shady Records a makeover.
"I think he's really focused on the creative side. He's never been someone who's set out to have a bunch of different companies out there, sort of playing the system. He's just not that kind of guy." The one project Eminem and Rosenberg are focused on is the rebuilding of their label, Shady Records. "What we mean by that is finding great new artists," Rosenberg says. "That's one of the things he is passionate about." Eminem has cited underground all-star group Slaughterhouse as his first planned signing, and he says more artists are on the table but not ready to be announced. (Billboard)
Atlanta rapper Bobby Creekwater announced his Shady Records departure in 2009.
"We parted ways, it was a business decision," Creekwater revealed in an interview. "Just so you know, labels, in some cases, can choose to be a**holes, hold the artists on the label -- put an artist through a whole bunch of bullsh*t to get free but they didn't. They understood my plight and I appreciate [manager Peter Rosenberg] for that, him and Em...I'm officially off of Shady...Basically it was this, Em, or Shady had to pay some bills. They had released some projects that didn't do as well as they planned or what have you so Em had to go and make that right. In Em making that right, Creekwater would have had to do more waiting and it's one of those things as an artist, you're your first concern...I couldn't afford to do any more waiting. It was the time to move on." (YouTube)
With a roster including 50 Cent and D12, the label previously released artists Stat Quo and Obie Trice.
"Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different forum free from the constraints of the current major label model," Em's manager Paul Rosenberg said in a statement. "Eminem will continue to support and work with Obie on many levels of his career. He remains a close friend and member of the Shady family." (Rap Basement)

The inaugural Motorboatshow Wargrave & Henley took place on the 23 - 25 March as a joint venture by BMF members: Val Wyatt Marine and Bushnells Marine Services and the Thames valley marina in Wargrave & Hobbs in Henley.
The ethos behind the event was to encourage visitors from the local area and those who had made original enquiries at the previous PSP Southampton & Tullett Prebon London Boat Shows, where both Val Wyatt and Bushnells exhibit, to come and try the ranges of new boats by Interboat, Intercruiser, Antaris, Maril, Jetten Yachting and Viking/Seamaster.
The weekend was blessed with weather to-die-for with temperatures nudging 20 degrees. All three businesses also invited other smaller companies and associates to display at their boat yards and in total over 50 new boats were on show and in excess of 100 were used/tested.
The weather drew the visitors and around 700 were counted at all three yards, with approximately 200 visitors being previous contacts - and of these 50% had visited either the Tullett Prebon London or PSP Southampton Boat Shows.
Sales of 15 boats were made over the weekend with a total value of in excess of £1.5 million.
Guy Girling, Sales Director Val Wyatt Marine said: "This is the first time we have jointly worked together in the marketing of the boats we sell and we are certain this kind of follow up show is where the sales are made. However, we are avid supporters of the Tullett Prebon London and PSP Southampton Boat Shows and will be using the MotorboatShow to support our commitment to the main shows not instead of.
"We find that being located in the Thames Valley we need both Southampton and London Shows as at Southampton we gain new leads from clients local to us, along the south coast and west country, whereby at London we get a totally different audience since the Show moved to ExCeL with new leads from East Anglia, Northern England and Ireland due to the ease of access to this venue. We thus feel that both shows must continue to run but would like to see the opportunity to openly market our support show like MotorboatShow at these events."

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine are leading the bi-partisan effort to reopen government.
They're just two of a dozen senators made up of six democrats and six republicans who have worked for two weeks to hammer out the deal.
Manchin says the plan includes funding the government at least till January so the country doesn't default.
It also stretches the debt limit past January and mandates a budget conference for the first time in five years.
Regarding Obamacare, the plan delays the medical device tax for two years that was part of the Affordable Health Care Act.
"This is not the place that you start fooling with the finances of our country because of your personal or social agenda. That's what our committees are for and if we could ever get to regular order where people will quit trying to hijack everything that's done a sensationalize it, hopefully we can do our business better," says Senator Manchin, (D)-West Virginia.
Although politics are very unpredictable, Senator Manchin remains optimistic that if congressional leaders give thumbs up to the plan or some variation, the federal government could reopen Thursday morning.

Florida Marlins pitcher Clay Hensley thrilled to participate in pre-game ceremony to honor Trevor Hoffman
By Joe Capozzi
Marlins pitcher Clay Hensley has been asked to participate in today's pre-game ceremony when the Padres will retire the No. 51 worn by retired closer Trevor Hoffman.
Hoffman, an original Marlin, was teammates in San Diego with Hensley when Hensley debuted in 2005.
"He has been like an older brother to me. Still is," Hensley said 30 minutes ago.
"We still talk. He still helps. He kind of got me in the right direction with things."
Mike Cameron also participated.
Hensley said Hoffman befriended him even before he broke into the majors.
"Before I was in the big leagues, he tore his shoulder and he was rehabbing with us in A ball," he said.
"We got to chatting a little bit and he said 'After the game why don't you hang out with mne after the game while I get treatment.' I was like, 'yeah, OK!'
"Game was over, we sat in the clubhouse until 12:30 until he was done and hung out and just talked. From then on we we became friends and when I got to the big leagues we'd had somewhat of a relationship."
Marlins manager Jack McKeon said Hoffman paved the way for other closers who use the chanegup, including Leo Nunez.
"He's sort of like we have in Nunez. He has a great change but if you remember, Trevor threw 93, 94 miles an hour and then used that change," McKeon said.
"Now in his later years everybody was looking for the change and he would shoot an 84 mph fastball right by him. This is what Nunez is going to have to do, establish the fastball and then use the change."
In talking about Hoffman, McKeon also brought up Marlins reliever Chris Hatcher.
Hoffman was drafted by the Reds as a shortstop before making the conversion to pitcher. Hatcher was a catcher last year.
"That goes to show you that sometimes a guy is put in a position that is not his best," McKeon said.
"In this particular case, (Hoffman) wasn't going to hit so they made him a pitcher. Just like we did with Hatcher. I don't know whether he's going to be in the Hall of Fame like Hoffman but who knows."

For Christians, says [Fleming] Rutledge, there can be no speaking of "the God of the Old Testament" as though that God is somehow different from "the God of the New Testament." In a sermon on Isaiah 28, she reminds us that "There is just as much good news in the Old Testament as in the New Testament, and a lot of it has the additional advantage of being written in poetry." In another sermon on the same text, (Rutledge admits to "being fascinated" by the prophet's words about evil and suffering), she insists that "a wrathful Old Testament God has not been replaced by a loving New Testament God." Jesus, after all, was known to strike the occasional note of judgment—and God is seen doing much loving in the Old Testament. The God of the Old Testament, Rutledge makes plain, is not the God of caricatures of the Old Testament. Rather, it is precisely "the Old Testament God" who has "come down from his throne on high into the world of sinful human flesh and of his own free will and decision has come under his own judgment in order to deliver us from everlasting condemnation and bring us into eternal life." Since the God of Abraham is the Father of Jesus Christ, "the witness of the entire Scripture is a seamless garment. No change within God occurred in the intertestamental period; there is no break in the revelation of God's self, as though there had been an alteration in God."--Books and Culture, May/June 2012, page 12
At the same time, "there are intrinsic, inalienable features of God in the Old Testament which we would not be able to extract from the New Testament taken by itself." Without Old Testament preaching, how will we know about the election of Israel, "the righteousness of God as both noun and verb," God's jealousy, and God's "aseity (being-from himself)"?
If you, like me, have a nagging feeling that you are not paying enough attention to the Old Testament—if you, like me, feel inadequately acquainted with the biblical testimony to God's jealousy; God's righteousness; God's freedom, testified to in election; or indeed God's love—consider taking up Rutledge's sermons. (They are not an endpoint; as Rutledge surely hopes they will do, these sermons will likely inspire you to further reading—including, I dare suggest, reading more of the Old Testament itself.)
