It's not often that late-night news turns into such a spectacle, but Mizzou fans have been through a lot lately, so when Frank Haith (who?) to Mizzou rumors went from a small leak to a deluge of tweets, posts and general online chatter, the reaction was stunning.
Even as the long-familiar wailing and gnashing of teeth from tigerboard began its late-night crescendo, the counter-culture here at RMN did what RMN does: take the opposite stance of the tigerboard consensus. He's a great recruiter. Gene Chizik. Miami is a bad job. No one would win there. Gene Chizik. He graduates players! Gene Chizik. He's a great guy! And have we mentioned he's kind of like Gene Chizik? If the initial reaction to Frank Haith was swift, harsh, and typical of MU fans, the reaction to the reaction here at RMN was slow-building, optimistic and equally typical of MU fans.
We have developed, as a group, a cannibalistic nature. Mizzou fans have long thought ourselves long-suffered, ill-fated and deserving of much more. When the internet age made being a tortured fan so much easier, so much more a community event, we did what all fan bases do, but our dial went to 11. It was inevitable that RMN would develop as a place for reason to trump emotion, for optimism to have its place alongside pessimism.
But the place we find ourselves at now is, in my mind, ripe for a bit of mental pruning. There is a place for those who disapprove of the hiring of Frank Haith without hysterics, who question Mike Alden's judgment without presuming to know his job better than he does, to be unsatisfied with the fruits of a coaching search without calling for doom and gloom.To analyze the hiring of Frank Haith and therein the reaction to the hiring of Frank Haith, I find it simplest to start on the surface.
The surface is much clearer than the depth of the issue, its picture more stark. On the surface, Frank Haith appears to be a poor hire, one borne out of desperation or over-reaction to losing one coach to a 'dream job'.
The simple facts are clear-cut and shocking for a fanbase who a week ago had visions of 3-time Big Ten Coach of the Year Matt Painter in its head. A 129-101 career record as a head coach (.561). A 43-69 conference record (.384). 1 trip to the NCAAs in 6 years, 2 seasons missing the cut for even the NIT.
Looking into more detailed stats on his teams, we see that Frank Haith Miami teams lack any kind of consistent identity and any kind of consistent strength. His six teams have generally been stronger offensively than defensively, finishing between 30th and 52nd in KenPom's offensive efficiency ratings 5 out of 6 years, only once higher than 64th in his defensive efficiency rankings.
Haith's teams shoot an average to slightly above average number of 3's and make a decent percentage of them, this year's team making 37.7% (good enough for 36th in the nation) being clearly his best 3 point shooting team. 2 point shooting percentage is mostly poor, with the exception of last year's team, and Miami's Assists/Made FGs ratio has been consistently very poor over the last 6 years. Haith's teams are generally decent rebounding teams or rather they are generally good offensive rebounding teams and mediocre defensive rebounding teams. The turnover battle has been largely a draw for Miami over the last 6 years; in his first three his team turned the ball over slightly less than their opponents and the opposite over the last three years. Expect Missouri's BCI to take a hit in a big way under Frank Haith. On the other hand, we'll probably shoot a few more free throws, but only because Mike Anderson's teams have been atrocious at getting to the line as Haith's teams are usually just average at it (never ranking about 101st in the nation there). And finally, Haith's teams typically play at or around an average tempo, which isn't a slight so much as a nod to the end of the Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball here in Columbia.
All of this is via KenPom and his wonderful site; I had no idea what kind of basketball Haith's teams played until last night. My reaction was instead, based on the same thing that most reactions are based on; preconceptions and emotion. And so it's important to look at the extenuating circumstances that might show the error of emotional thinking.
First and foremost, Head Coach of the Miami Hurricanes basketball team is a pretty bad job as far as D-1 coaching jobs go. There is little fan support for basketball in Coral Gables, football gets the lion's share of attention (and presumably money) and there is no, I repeat, no history of winning. Bill posted earlier that Haith has arguably put up 6 of Miami's best ever seasons, and that underscores just how little there is to the history of basketball at the U. It's been called a dead-end job, a coach killer, all that. Points to Haith for turning a bad situation into a less bad situation.
Second, Haith has a reputation and a history as a good recruiter. He's recruited fairly well to Miami; a cursory glance at Miami's rivals page shows 1 5-star recruit, 3 4-star recruits, 10 3-star recruits and 2 unrated/2-star recruits in his 6 years. I'll leave it to the reader to decide how impressive that is balancing the lack of history or prestige at Miami with the obvious *ahem* attractions of playing at Miami. Regardless, Haith built his reputation recruiting elsewhere, particularly in Texas, where he recruited several 5 star recruits including Lamarcus Aldridge. He's a bonafide recruiter in a way that Missouri hasn't had in a while (ever?).
And finally, I hear Haith has a pretty good record at graduating players, for what it's worth (which, I expect, varies from person to person).
So we've covered the obvious complaints about Haith and the possible extenuating circumstances, which leads to the reasons why I personally feel those extenuating circumstances don't override the less-than impressive first glance at Haith.
First, regarding Miami and the expectations, and I expect many will find this the main point of contention. Frank Haith may be the best basketball coach Miami has ever had. That sounds more impressive than it is, but it also puts evaluation of his time at Miami in a strange place. I doubt anyone could argue that he underperformed at Miami, and it's fair to say he outperformed reasonable expectations. The feeling is that if he outperformed reasonable expectations at Miami then surely he can do the same in a better job at MU. I find this to be flawed reasoning for the simple truth that more support does not always make for a better job. It's not easier to outperform expectations just because one has better tools to work with, I've always thought, because increasing assets linearly increases expectations exponentially.
My main disagreement, though, with justifying Haith's hire with arguments about his situation at Miami, is that success (not relative success) should be the measure of a coach. What we have in Frank Haith is a man who has, from a bad job put forth moderate results. If Frank Haith's body of work were a single game, it would be a moral victory. It would be hanging with Duke for 35 minutes before losing by 15. The notion that Haith is to be commended for his work at Miami or that he has through it earned a new job and a raise I find preposterous. Coaches who have never achieved a better than .500 conference record just do not get new jobs, regardless of how poor the situation was. The man does not deserve to be written off as a bad coach for what he did, but he certainly hasn't proven himself a good coach either.
As a recruiter, Haith's reputation is a different story. He's achieved above his means while at Miami in the recruiting arena, though Miami is probably attractive to students in ways that have nothing to do with basketball. The majority of Haith's reputation, though is built on his work in Texas at his various assistant coach jobs. I have little doubt the man is a good recruiter, but I do find it odd that Haith gets points as a coach for degree of difficulty, but doesn't lose points as a recruiter when the biggest names he's recruited were at Texas.
And finally, there's the issue of the large public outcry, Mike Alden's responsibility for it and how it might affect Haith's time here in Columbia. Whether or not Mike Alden saw it coming or not, Haith is thus far an extremely unpopular hire. There's always some pressure to win at a program like Mizzou, but I have to believe the pressure will be immense this fall, and the backlash will be harsh if a coach few liked in the first place struggles out of the gate. The parallel I see clearly here is Turner Gill at KU. If the Tigers seriously under-perform this year as Gill's Jayhawks did, how much leash will he get? If ticket sales drop off before the season even gets going and then we miss the tournament, how much patience do you think a fan-base that disliked this hire from the beginning will have? If Alden saw this reaction coming (and I tend to think he didn't, not fully), he had to know that Haith is walking into a much more difficult job than Shaka Smart, for example, might have had. Patience will be razor thin, and if Haith isn't an exceptional coach he could be eaten alive by it.
The argument has been made that if Mike Alden thinks Frank Haith is the best candidate available then he did right to hire him, and I disagree. Mike Alden's job in this case is not only to hire the best coach, but the coach with the best chance to succeed. Even if Haith is the best candidate, he might still be more likely to fail than other viable candidates. Where someone else might have gotten 3-4 years minimum, is it out of the realm of possibility that Haith gets 2? I hardly think so. We're not Duke, UNC or kU here, but we have expectations and I doubt anyone on this board would disagree with the notion that we know how to overreact.
Frank Haith could turn out to be a great coach. God help him if he isn't, though, because just a good coach might not cut it in the viper's nest he's stepped into.

Opinion: I don't want a seal rookery
By Roger Raffee
La Jolla resident
Florence Lambert, in her viewpoint you printed, insults people who don't want a seal rookery in La Jolla by calling us "selfish." I don't want a seal rookery in La Jolla because I believe, like it increases tourists who want to come and see them, it will increase the likelihood of Great White shark visitors who will want to come and eat them. If I'm being selfish because I don't want to see an increase in attacks on people who use the ocean in this area to become similar to the frequency we see in Northern California, where rookeries are common, then yes, I am being selfish.
I also believe that any person that uses the ocean with any regularity and doesn't believe that increasing the seal population won't also increase the Great White population lacks common sense or just doesn't care. The seal rookery in La Jolla, in my opinion, is a legacy of ignorance and political correctness gone stupid.
I wouldn't be surprised if other like-minded people in other parts of southern California start more seal rookeries. We can't be the only place with the ignorant and politically correct stupidity. There's a reason why Southern California has historically been such a safe place to swim and surf, despite the much larger numbers of people in the water than other parts of the world, including our neighbors to the north. For writing that piece Ms. Lambert should have to swim with the seals on a regular basis. One lady tried that at Avila Beach not long ago, but she didn't make it back to shore.

A hotel in downtown Phoenix has Arizona's first commercial-use Urban Cultivator that grows a variety of herbs and micro greens to be served year-round. Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel installed an Urban Cultivator, which allows them to grow and harvest hard-to-find greens to serve at their District American Kitchen and Wine Bar. The six-and-a-half-foot tall cultivator is fully-automated, indoor and resembles a refrigerator with double glass doors, growing shelves, lighting and water spouts. The climate-controlled appliance uses a method similar to hydroponic growing and supports the company's sustainability goals.

Rookie Doug Martin rushed for a franchise-record 251 yards and four touchdowns and Ahmad Black intercepted a Carson Palmer pass after Oakland had cut an 18-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held on to beat the Raiders 42-32 on Sunday.
Martin, who was born in Oakland, had a memorable homecoming for the Bucs (4-4) by scoring on runs of 1, 45, 67 and 70 yards in the second half as he gashed what had been an improved run defense for the Raiders (3-5).
Martin, the 31st pick in April out of Boise State, became the first back since at least 1940 to score on three TD runs of at least 45 yards in one game, according to STATS LLC.

Washington State Fair still the best aroundon September 6, 2013 @ 8:47 am (Updated: 9:00 am - 9/6/13 )
The rides, the music, the animals, the deliciously bad for you food. It's been running for 113 years and is among the top ten attended fairs in the country. I always knew it was the best.
Until I saw a recent article on fairs around the U.S. this year. Each had its biggest attraction listed, and man, some of them sounded awesome.
There is celebrity cow milking in Tennessee. Fairground robots in Arkansas, and in Georgia, dog races with ultra competitive monkey jockeys.
Yet under the Washington State Fair's entry was listed, Bavarian Beer Garden. Granted that's cooler than daily parades in New Mexico, or Tractor pulls in Virginia but still, that seemed tame.
Suddenly I wondered, was our fair the best? Panicked, I called Karen LaFlame who's helped run our fair for years.
"I think we're the best there is. We have Luminasia this year, which is a Chinese, larger-than-life, lantern festival. We also have two Cirque shows, and you don't find those just anywhere. It's much more fun to enjoy all of those activities than celebrity milking, or something of that nature," said LaFlame.
And she reminded me, we don't need tricks to pull folks to our fair.
"We have something for every age of guest, from the little tiny ones to people who are 101. That's what has made the fair such a generational favorite," said LaFlame.
While I would like to see monkeys on dogs, my faith in the Washington State Fair is restored. We are the best. Imagine being in Utah where the big draw is a live version of "The Price Is Right."

San Antonio (WOIO) - There are two former Cavaliers playing a prominent role in these NBA Finals, but Lebron isn't the one people were talking about on Sunday night. Spurs guard Danny Green, the former second-round pick for the Cavs, may be the reason why the Spurs are looking at a 3-2 series lead, heading into Game Six in Miami.
In Sunday night's 114-104 win, Green broke the record for most three pointers in an NBA Finals series. His record breaking 23rd three pointer came with 9:39 left in the third quarter, putting the Spurs up 66-60. The shot surpassed Ray Allen's previous mark of 22 three pointers, which Allen set in the 2008 Finals with the Boston Celtics.
Green went 6 of 10 in Game Five and is shooting 25 for 38 from long range in the Finals.
"I can't believe he's still open at his moment of this series," said Spurs point guard Tony Parker.
"This team is the kind of team that I feel capitalizes on any mistake you make," said Heat guard Dwayne Wade.
With the Heat focusing their defensive on Parker, Duncan and Ginobili, Green has more time to spot up and knock down shots.

In the wake of Nelson Mandela's death, hosannas continue to be sung to the former ANC leader and South African president from both the left and from the right. But the right's embrace of Mandela as an anti-racist hero doesn't ring true. Is there another reason establishment media and mainstream politicians are as Mandela-crazy as the left?

ATHENS, Ala. (AP) - Limestone County officials say a man out of jail on bond took an overdose of pills after learning he had been indicted for capital murder.
Sheriff Mike Blakely said 52-year-old Joel Moyers was living with his mother in Cullman when he learned about the indictment Friday and took the overdose. The indictment would have caused his bond to be revoked. The sheriff said Moyers is being treated at a Cullman hospital.
Moyers was charged in the September 29 shooting death of 26-year-old Brandon Hydrick. Hydrick and his brother were looking for a friend's campsite at 3 a.m. when they took a wrong turn and ended up near Moyers' mobile home in rural Limestone County.
Moyers told investigators he fired a warning shot because the men in the truck were acting suspiciously.

Track Specs
Track length: 1 mile
Banking: Turns 1 and 2 — 11 degrees; Turns 3 and 4 — 9 degrees;

Phoenix International Raceway is a one-mile track. Even though it hosts two races a year, the events are quite different. In the spring, the boys run at night. It's so early in the season, everyone has a chance to compete for the Chase, even Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Scott Speed (kidding.)
In the fall, the race takes place during the day. Since it's the next-to-last-race of the season, you get an odd mix of drivers. Some teams are messing around with 2010 setups. Others go balls-out trying to get a win. Then there are those protecting points for a title or a trip to the banquet. Chase drivers don't want to finish 39th like Jimmie Johnson did at Texas.
As for the track itself, many will take their short track setups to Phoenix for one final ride. Since Phoenix is in the middle of a desert, things tend to get a little toasty out there so, so expect to see cars get loose, which could cause some fun in tight, flat spaces.
It's tough for teams to do specialized adjustments because the banking is different all across the track. Teams will excel in some parts of the track and struggle in others. For reasons beyond me, there aren't a ton of cautions at Phoenix; so, those drivers who enjoy long runs like racing here.
Here are some random facts to impress your friends with this Sunday, thanks to the track's Web site.
- Jimmie Johnson has the best average finish at Phoenix and has won there three times. He is also the defending race champion.
- Mark Martin won the spring race. He has the second-best average finish, followed by Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin and Marcos Ambrose. Yeah, surprised me too.
- Tickets are still available, some for $25. Yes Mr. France, the sport is doing just fine.
- Arizona law prohibits fans from bringing alcohol to the track. No wonder there are $25 seats available.
- The track also won't let you bring umbrellas to the track. It's Phoenix. Who owns an umbrella?
- The track opened in 1964. It hosted its first race in 1988. Be patient, Kentucky and Nashville. Your times will come.
- Arizona Sen. John McCain will act as the Grand Marshal.
- SPEED has a cantina at the track. It is hosting a 1980s party Saturday night. Hairforce will be playing.
- Somewhere Cale Yarborough is shaking his head in disgust.

Adding lots who will need NICU care via Obama Care could cost a lot - Factor in the cost of treating all of the possible lifelong disabilities and the years of lost productivity for the caregivers, and the real tab may top $50 billion, Waitzman says. A 2006 report by the National Academy of Sciences found that the 550,000 preemies born each year in the U.S. run up about $26 billion in annual costs, mostly related to care in NICUs. http://www.businessweek.com/stories/2008-06-11/million-dollar-babies.

It seems good, but I can't wear it because the sizing is too small. Also, there are no returns or exchanges so I am stuck with a ring that is too small :(
I bought 3 of these, I wear mine on my thumb and gave the other two as gifts
The ring is GEORGEOUS! But it's silver-TONE! I wouuld not have bought it had I'd been more vigilant. And if I'd paid attention & knew it was - I wouldnt have paid this price for it. I bought a silver, crown, diamond accent ring for my daughter, as a gift (hers was close to half this price) & this ring for myself. It IS beautiful but silver-tone is really just junk & I dont expect it to hold up as I'd liked it to. TOTALLY - My Bad!

Magnosaurus (Greek for "large lizard"); pronounced MAG-no-SORE-us
Woodlands of Western Europe
Historical Period:
Middle Jurassic (175 million years ago)
Size and Weight:
About 13 feet long and 400 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics:
Small size; bipedal stance
About Magnosaurus:
Paleontologists are still untangling the confusion generated by the early discovery (in 1676) of Megalosaurus, after which every dinosaur that vaguely resembled it was assigned, incorrectly, to its genus. A good example is Magnosaurus, which (based on its limited fossil remains) was considered a species of Megalosaurus until fairly recently. Apart from this taxonomic confusion, Magnosaurus appears to have been a typical theropod of the middle Jurassic period, relatively small (only 400 pounds or so) and speedy compared to its later Jurassic and Cretaceous descendants.

The sight, the scent, the touch of rich, luxurious, full-bodied . . . real estate commentary . . .
Today, Jeff Brown is a thorn among roses. We're adding a new contributor, San Diego Realtor and super-blogger Kris Berg. With Cathleen Collins below the BawldGuy and Kris above, the median quantity of hair approaches the statistical mean.
But rich, luxurious, full-bodied hair — or none at all — is no measure of the prowess of a BloodhoundBlog weblogger. And, of course, no one can be encapsulated by a capsule biography, but it falls to me to write one anyway:
Kris Berg is a San Diego Realtor and Associate Broker who is avidly building a business with her husband, Steve, while raising a family, maintaining a home and writing cleverly original real estate commentary.
If you haven't read Kris at The San Diego Home Blog, you're missing out on one of the great treats of the RE.net. She writes pertinent real estate commentary with a style all her own — sometimes raucously funny, always precisely on target. I can't wait to see what she'll write here…

100 Years Ago: Football's First Forward Pass
100 Years Ago: Football's First Forward Pass
Robert Roy Britt
LiveScience Managing Editor
Fri Sep 1, 2:30 PM ET
They called it the "projectile pass" back then.
On Sept. 5, 1906, Saint Louis University's Bradbury Robinson tossed a pigskin to teammate Jack Schneider. It was a remarkably creative play for the era, one that ultimately became known as the forward pass.
The game was scoreless. According to SLU archives, head coach Eddie Cochems was frustrated with the team's inability to move the ball. For weeks, they had been secretly practicing this new art of tossing the ball forward from a starting position behind the ear.
And so the football's first air attack began.
And it started as you might expect, with an incompletion. Under the rules then, the ball was turned over to the opponent, Carroll College.
On SLU's next possession, though, Robinson connected with Schneider 20-yards downfield. The defense was so surprised, Schneider waltzed in for the score.
Saint Louis University beat Carroll 22-0.
There's a deadly history to this gridiron breakthrough.
The 1905 season saw several on-field football deaths and serious injuries around the country. President Theodore Roosevelt met with universities officials to find ways to make the game safer. That's when rules were modified to allow passing.
But it took awhile for the technique to take hold. For one thing, nobody knew how to pass, of course. And there were disinsentives. A completion within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage was ruled a turnover. Oddly, a catch in end the end zone was ruled a touchback.
What worked in college ball was soon adopted by the pros.
The first authenticated pass completion in a pro game came on Oct. 27, 1906, when George (Peggy) Parratt of Massillon threw a completion to Dan (Bullet) Riley in a victory over a combined Benwood-Moundsville team, according to the NFL.
Some believe that Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne was the first to order a forward pass. But according to SLU officials, Rockne set the record straight in his own biography when he wrote that SLU's Cochems "...enrolled a few boys with hands like steam shovels who could toss a football just as easily and almost as far as they could throw a baseball. "One would have thought that so effective a play would have been instantly copied and become the vogue. The East, however, had not learned much or cared much about Midwest and Western football. Indeed, the East scarcely realized that football existed beyond the Alleghanies."
Saint Louis University discontinued its football program in 1949.

Wilken will NOT leave with Hendry
As many of us suspected, the "Wilken will leave if we fire Hendry" meme was a lot of hot air and baseless speculation. Does Wilken still want to see it through and watch his draft picks grow up and form the core of a contender? "Hell yeah," Wilken said. "Without a doubt. That was my goal when I came here. Jim hired me, but I work for the Chicago Cubs." That settles that. It will, of course, be up to the new GM. But (edit) Ricketts will recommend that they keep Wilken on, and he's hoping to stay.

Players were ready to play, Don said no … Fehr sends email to players … 3 key points for owners
- Updated: December 7, 2012
- Adrian Dater via twitter: From a player who is a depth player, who is not from the Avalanche: "We were ready to play again. But Don came in (Wed.) and told us we could get more and to hold out"
- Chris Johnston via twitter: Ron Hainsey said that the players were told by the NHL on Wednesday night that if they brought Don Fehr back into the room, it would potentially be "a deal-breaker."
- Terry Koshan of the Toronto Star: NHLPA executive director, Don Fehr, sent an email to players, here are the key points:
1. Transition payment ("make whole"): We moved off of our $393 Million proposal and accepted the League's December 5 offer of $300 Million. This means there is an agreement on dollars.
2. Individual SPC (standard player contract) length and Variability of SPCs: The Owners have proposed (i) a limit of 5 years, except that Players who re-sign with their Clubs could contract for 7 years, and (ii) a 5% limit on year-to-year salary variability in long-term deals. We believe that these restrictions would devastate the "middle class" of players and result in the NBA model, where a few players earn huge salaries while pushing everyone else down toward the minimum. (Their proposal would also undermine the free-agent market by giving a significant advantage to Clubs that want to re-sign their own Players.) Moreover, in spite of our concerns, in order to close the deal we moved from of our last offer (a 10-year limit and no limit on variability) and instead proposed an 8-year limit on all SPCs and a variability limit of 25% over the term of the SPC, applied to contracts of 7 years or longer.
3. Pensions: We agreed to the Owners' proposal on pensions, which included the Players' commitment of $50 Million of the $300 Million transition payment in order to address Owners' concerns about their liability in the event of underfunding.
4. CBA Term: The League pressed hard for a 10-year term, moving off their previous proposal of 6 + 1, and doubling the length of their initial proposal of a 5 years. In fact, they've moved away from us on this issue from the very start. Nevertheless, in an effort to reach agreement, we made a major move towards them, offering an 8-year term, with a Player right to opt out after 6 years.
5. Cap Benefit Recapture: We again made a move towards the League, responding to their complaint that this provision must apply to existing SPCs as well as new ones, by offering to cover all existing contracts that have 7 years or more remaining.
- Sean Fitz-Gerald of the National Post: Gary Bettman's opening remarks (video of Bettman's press conference in previous post):
"We're at a loss to explain what happened. But things were not of the same tone as they had been on Tuesday. Nevertheless, the owners decided to try and continue to do everything possible to make a new collective bargaining agreement. The key for all of us — particularly the owners, but everybody associated with the game — was to have a long-term agreement. That's what our fans deserve. That's what the game deserves. That's what the players deserve. And that's what all of our business partners deserve. And that's something we wanted to achieve, with a system that would work appropriately and would continue to enable us to have great competitive balance and grow the game. With that view in mind, the owners, particularly the four new ones that joined us … they wanted to push ahead and do something bold. And so, what they did, among other things, was virtually put a new $100-million on the table on Wednesday night in the hopes that would help show that we wanted to get back and play, which we do, very much, as quickly as possible. The union's response was shockingly silent, so to speak, in terms of their reaction. It was almost no reaction. It was, 'thank you, we'll take the $100-million.' The owners were beside themselves. Some of them, I had never seen that emotional. And they said they don't know what happened, but this process is over — clearly, the union doesn't want to make a deal, and this was from the four new entrants in the process."
- Dan Rosen via twitter: Bill Daly stressed that there are 3 must-have for the owners: 1. max 10 year CBA 2. shorter than 8 year max for contract lengths like the NHLPA proposed 3. no compliance issues. The NHL leaders have stressed that if it was a yes on those 3 points, they would continue to negotiate. If it was a no, they won't negotiate. Obviously, it was a no.
- Louis Jean via twitter: A source on the 5-7 year contract term limit: "there shouldn't be more give or else we'll have another lockout. Might as well fix it now."
- Louis Jean via twitter: Source: "If we can't get a deal with Burkle, Brisson & Crosby, it may not get done. Take it to a vote or we're probably not playing."

Question: Should I Do An Optional College Interview?
Often the college interview is an optional part of the application process. So why bother? You're busy. Applying to college is stressful. Why should you create more work and more stress for yourself by going through the interview process when you don't have to? Why not simply decline?
Answer: There are several reasons why you should take advantage of the opportunity to interview with the colleges you're interested in attending:
- Choosing to interview demonstrates your interest. A student who is applying to 50 random colleges isn't going to bother interviewing. When you take the time to meet with a representative from the college, you're making a statement that your interest is sincere and that you want to learn more about the school. Also, the college wants to admit students who will accept their offer, and your decision to interview makes you a safer bet.
- The interview lets you learn more. A successful search for a college isn't about getting into the best school, but getting into the school that is best for you. An interview is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the college and find out if it really is a good match for your personality and interests
- The interview allows the college to put a face to the numbers. Put yourself in the shoes of the admissions folks. They have a bunch of transcripts and test scores to use for making admission decisions. If they meet you, you'll be more than numbers.
- If a college doesn't have regional representatives and you can't afford to travel, you might pass on the interview. In such a case, however, you could try to set up a phone conversation.
- If you really, truly are an awful verbal communicator, you may want to keep that fact hidden from the college. Let your written work speak for you.

Name: Gracious Tuberose
Brand: Flora by Gucci
Size: 1.06
Price: $70.00
What I liked:
- light and fresh tuberose scent
- beautiful and elegant bottle
What I didn't like:
- very generic and unremarkable
- poor staying power
- the price
I knew I shouldn't have tried the new Flora by Gucci Garden Collection. Floral scents from designer brands very often disappoint me because they tend to be too sweet, too generic, too indistinguishable.. Yet, the gorgeous advertising campaign and the pretty and sleek bottles totally sucked me in and I figured there would be no harm in asking for samples at my local beauty shop.
After all, perfumes can often surprise you, and if not, well, samples are free. The collection includes three scents, Gorgeous Gardenia, Glamorous Magnolia and Gracious Tuberose. I decided to try the latter first. Gracious Tuberose really surpassed all my expectations, which were very low, and not in a positive way. This is one of the most insipid scents I have ever tried.
Tuberose is present right from the start and is at first mingled with a strong orange blossom note, which smells quite soapy. As the fragrance progresses, the white floral note becomes more prominent, but it's very light and fresh, never cloying. The drydown is a fruity woody mix of citrus and white cedarwood, which is quite light too.
Overall, Gracious Tuberose is a very fresh, clean and light tuberose scent. So light that I think it could appeal even to those who aren't fans of tuberose. It's actually tuberose lovers that will shy away from it and find it too generic and unremarkable. There is nothing really that makes this fragrance stand out among the gazillion of floral scents on the market.
I don't find it particularly gracious either. It's a fresh scent for the warmer months, but very overpriced. Not only it lacks originality, but the staying power is very poor. Fragrances usually stick to my skin like glue, but Gracious Tuberose disappears after only 3 hours of wear, which means you'll have to reapply it often.
Available at: amazon and escentuals
At $70.00, Flora by Gucci Gracious Tuberose is very overpriced. This light and fresh tuberose scent is also so generic and insipid, and only lasts 3 hours on the skin.

I liked Le Anne Schreiber who was not afraid to be critical and question ESPN's policies. We'll see how this works out.

Per source of PFT Former St.Louis Rams linebacker Pisa(not Pino) Tinoisamoa will be flying to Halas Hall to visit Coach Lovie Smith and the Chicago Bears.
While only 6"0' tall, Pisa is a great tackler who has experience at both outside Linebacker positions and has led the Rams in total tackles four seasons. Pisa is familiar with Smith, who was his defensive coordinator while in St. Louis.
OK I see it like this; the Bills, or the Bears. which team do you think he's gonna end up signing with? A fourth place AFC East team with a locker room cancer in T.O. who have no relativity as far as playoffs are concerned, Or a team that has made the most noise so far in the offseason?
One things for sure. As soon as he signs(with the right team of course) I'l be shouting "PISA PISA!!!"

In the past 14 years I haven't taken medication of any kind, except for a few vitamins and supplements, whenever I've felt my body needed them. So, I ruled out using analgesics from the beginning.
The following day not only the pain was still there, it had worsened and it irradiated to my right thigh. I could hardly bend down to put my socks on and when I tried to go for a walk each step felt like a hammer hitting my lower back. My pelvis felt the pulsating squeezing of giving birth, but of course, it was not the case. My medical mind told me I had herniated a disk in my lumbar spine. But what would I do with the diagnosis?
Breathing deeply made the pain grow, sneezing made me agonize. I knew that a doctor would order X-rays or an MRI, which would confirm the diagnosis and localize the lesion with accuracy. After the tests, the doctor would prescribe muscle relaxers and a pain killer, and recommend a hard bed, but taking any kind of medication was out of the question. I had long ago decided not to ingest any chemicals that could disturb the communication between my organs.
I played my relaxation cassettes, administered Reiki to myself and made an online healing request through the Distant Healing Network (the-dhn.com).
I could hardly sit in a chair, so I straddled my kneeling chair, the one I use on my computer workstation most of the day, making frequent pauses to give rest to the muscles in charge of that posture. I also modified my nutrition to add extra anti-inflammatory foods like tart cherries and natural analgesics like green peppers. I used vitamin C and Complex B to reinforce my connective tissue and support the inner healer in the process of repairing any injured nervous tissue. I took magnesium pills to keep cartilages flexible and bought ripe pineapples that are rich in the anti-inflammatory enzyme bromeline.
Although the pain and the muscle spasm were limiting, I knew they served the purpose of protecting my tissues from further damage. That's why I decided to respect the pain. I knew that Reiki and relaxation techniques would keep it within a bearable range and pain would guide my recovery. I knew the pain was a body alert that I needed to listen to. My cousin, for example, after having herniated a disk was prescribed with a strong dose of cortisone and analgesics. His pain was gone in hours and after a few days he felt so well that he decided to play soccer with his vigorous 8-year-old son. Because the body didn't have enough time to heal, he caused himself an even more serious lesion that rendered him in a wheelchair for a while.
In my case, after a few days, the pain was almost completely gone but the spasm continued to protect the spine for several weeks. I avoided driving, running and bearing weight. Rolling on the floor, Tai-Chi-like exercises and mindful moving helped my body take care of the problem while keeping my muscles flexible and relaxed. Still, the body continues to remind me with pain in the same area that I should not bear more weight than necessary, that I should change posture frequently and that pauses are desirable.
Pain Has a PurposeIf the purpose of pain is to protect the body from further damage, we need to listen. Usually, only when the pain is acute and limiting we are forced to pay attention. In most cases, we just ignore the pain as when we have been sitting for hours in front of a computer and the overloaded muscles are asking for a change in posture. Because we ignore pain, our muscles tense and develop spasms, which contribute to deform our posture causing misalignments. If we stop using groups of muscles they will shorten and weaken and in time, unattended areas become vulnerable to injuries.
Most of us run looking for medication to alleviate a symptom. But is it really necessary or desirable to counteract a normal defensive bodily response? It is preferable to listen to our body. Forcefully silencing the body cuts our relationship with it.
If necessary, natural therapies such as Reiki, Trager, relaxation techniques and acupuncture will help reduce pain without the undesirable secondary effects of medication. Only in extreme cases should we go for pain killers, and always under a physician's advice.

OCG demand letter to PM ill-timed
Jamaica has inherited a rich judicial system from Britain through which our citizens and government can seek justice. There are four main planks: the Supreme Court, Judicial Review Court, Court of Appeal and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the court of last resort.
The powers of the Office of the Contractor General (OCG) are being challenged in court on two matters. Minister of Transport, Works and Housing Dr Omar Davies has challenged the powers of the contractor general to monitor the pre-contract phases of the award of government contracts. Second, Gorstew, a holding company of Gordon "Butch" Stewart, who is chairman of this newspaper, has asked the court for an interpretation of the powers of the OCG to probe the sale of Sandals Whitehouse Hotel by government to Gorstew in 2011.
Both parties in stating their positions have commented on the cases publicly and extensively. Although there is no law or rule against this since trial has not yet begun and the law relates only to comments on evidence during trial, it has always been my view that once a matter has been filed, a party should not argue its position publicly. The issues should be ventilated in court. However, be that as it may,
the OCG should have awaited the ruling of the court on the two matters.
That is why I find ill-timed the seven-page open letter by Contractor General Greg Christie to the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition with copies to the Governor General, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President of the Senate, Clerk to the Houses of Parliament and the Cabinet Secretary.
He is asking the government to clarify precisely what role, if any, the contractor general should play, within a national system of institutionalised and independent checks and balances, to ensure that government commercial transactions will withstand the highest levels of scrutiny and probity, and that the Jamaican taxpayer can be guaranteed value for money when state assets are divested and whenever state licences are issued, or whenever government contracts are to be awarded.
The letter says, in part, that the contractor general has made innumerable remedial recommendations to the various administrations and Parliament on the matter. These considered recommendations were "specifically and carefully crafted by the OCG
to significantly enhance transparency, competition, accountability and probity in public contracting and licensing in Jamaica to ensure compliance with the government's Procurement Procedures and Guidelines and eliminate waste and efficiency in the award and implementations of government contracts to prevent fraud and corruption in government contracting and to strengthen the independence of the OCG to generally win the battle against corruption in Jamaica." Regrettably, adds Christie, "most of these recommendations have not been affectively acted upon nor have the overwhelming majority of them been materially implemented".
The letter is ill-timed as the whole question of the powers of the OCG is expected to be defined by the court and that will have, presumably, a bearing on whether the government changes the law to make the contractor general unchallengeable. Up to now no one, except the governor general, is unchallengeable under the laws of Jamaica. Christie has vowed to fight both issues in court and that is how it should be, not issuing what is tantamount to a demand letter to the prime minister.
The article in the Sunday Observer on September 9 reads like a brief for Gorstew's lawyers in the court action against the contractor general. The article, in part, says the OCG investigation was based on an article published in the September 7, 2012 edition of the Sunday Herald claiming that "secret talks" were in progress between the government and the Sandals chain for the sale of the hotel. "That the OCG could base an investigation of this nature on a spurious news story is of great concern', Gorstew said in a press statement.
Gorstew notes that far from being secret, the negotiations for the sale of Sandals Whitehouse were not only transparent, but also benefited from the expertise and goodwill of a large team of skilled negotiators and professionals from the public and private sectors.
"We have full respect for the OCG and the objectives of its mandate. However, all the expert legal advice available to Gorstew has indicated that the contractor general does not have jurisdiction over the sale of the Whitehouse property," Gorstew said. So the three parties should remain silent outside of the court and leave the court to interpret the Contractor General Act.
Both cases are of crucial importance in that the country wants to know just where the OCG's powers end. Matters like these should be expedited through the court because economic development rests on its decision.
