Five-star recruit Kelly Oubre commits to Kansas over Kentucky
Oct 8, 2013, 2:06 PM EST
For the second time in five months, Bill Self and the Kansas basketball program outduel Kentucky for an elite wing prospect.
Back in May, the Jayhawks landed a commitment from Andrew Wiggins, who decided to head to Lawrence for his one-year college hoops stopover. And on Tuesday, Kansas earned a commitment from Kelly Oubre, who will slide right in and replace Wiggins at that small forward spot. Evan Daniels of Scout.com broke the news and Oubre confirmed it minutes later.
This news was far from a surprise. Oubre's decision was down to Kansas and Kentucky. He spent this weekend on an official visit to Lawrence for Late Night at the Phog and proceeded to cancel his trip to Kentucky for Big Blue Madness.
Oubre is a talented recruit that is one of the better NBA prospects in the Class of 2014. He ranks as the No. 12 recruit in the class, according to Rivals, but he's the kind of player that could end up being better at the professional level that he is in college. Checking in at 6-foot-7, Oubre is a left-handed wing that looks like he was bred to be a scorer. He's really developed his perimeter stroke to an elite level, but given his size and his athleticism — he's not Jordan-in-his-prime athletic, but he's an above-average leaper that has the quickness to beat people off the dribble — he needs to make sure that he doesn't pigeon-hole himself as just a jump-shooter.
The best thing about Oubre as a prospect is that he wants to defend, he wants to get better and he wants to win. There's a reason that, by the end of the summer, Oubre was the guy that everyone was talking about from a Houston Hoops team that also included North Carolina commit Justin Jackson and top 20 recruit Justise Winslow on the wing.
Oubre is the first commit for the Jayhawks in the Class of 2014. A New Orleans native, he moved to Houston before transferring to Findlay Prep in Nevada for his final season as a high schooler.

In looking up "palmary" I encountered the word "cotyledon"
which I hadn't seen for a long time. Apparently the palms
are monocotyledons, while most of the seeds we are familiar
with are dicotyledons.
Web Definition: cotyledon - The "seed leaves" produced by a seed plant embryo. They serve to absorb nutrients packaged in the seed, until the seedling is able to produce its first true leaves and begin photosynthesis. The number of cotyledons is a key feature for the identification of the two major groups of flowering plants.

January 11, 2011:
I agree with Barry Barman: waterjetting does not provide a "profile" and will not remove mill scale on new steel. You can use the pre-existing profile, however, after old coatings have been removed by waterjetting. The adhesion is no only issue with the pre-existing profile. It depends on both coating type and waterjetting level (WJ1, WJ2, WJ3 or WJ4). all this information must be addressed by the coating manufacturer.
David Grove of Shaw Nuclear Power Services on
December 28, 2010:
Seems no one asked the question, "What is the surface condition of the steel?" If it is new and has milscale on it, then no. If it was previously prepped where milscale had been removed, or had been allowed to rust so no milscale remained, then possibly, depending upon the coating type and the service. Ask the coating tech service representative for the specifics.
greg sprinkle of certified coating inspections inc on
December 27, 2010:
I think the very first question by far is the service environment. If it is to be mild atmospheric, power washing to UHP is more than accepted by many coating manufacturers that offer very surface-tolerant primers.
Barry Barman of Barry Barman & Associates on
December 16, 2010:
The short answer is no.According to the Joint Surface Preparation Standard SSPC-SP 12/NACE No. 5, waterjetting does not provide the primary anchor pattern on steel known to the coatings industry as "profile." We use waterjetting primarily for recoating or relining projects in which there is an adequate pre-existing profile. The fact that the intended primer is thin (<2 mils)does not negate the need for a proper anchor profile. Consider that the primer is just one coat of the specified paint system and that profile depth should be approximately 25% of the total coating thickness. If there are concerns that a thin prime coat will produce pinpoint rusting when applied over a profiled surface, remember that coating thickness is measured as the thickness "above the peaks" - determined by subtracting the BMR (Base Metal Reading) from the measured coating thickness as described in SSPC-PA 2. In this manner there will be a nominal dry film thickness of 2 mils above the peaks. Regardless, the primed-only steel should not be left untopcoated for an extended period of time.
David hennerbichler of Imperial Oil on
December 15, 2010:
It really depends on the level of detail in the manufacturer's data sheet
Adam Backhaut of Diamond Vogel Paints on
December 14, 2010:
It will depend on the type of primer being used. Are you using an etch, epoxy, or 2k polyurethane primer? Make sure the primer "system" is designed for a direct-to-metal application. I would test one small area for adhesion with the current surface profile using the ASTM method (bear claw cross hatch). Also, don't be afraid to call your paint supplier for assistance; they will be there to help you with technical support.
Muhammad Iqbal of CV. Kharisma Selatan on
December 14, 2010:
Philip A. Schweitzer in his book titled,"Paint and Coatings: Applications and Corrosion Resistance," wrote that profile depth should be approximately 25% of the total coating thickness. On the basis of a 6-mil coating thickness, the profile depth should be 1.5 mils; hence,if what Philip wrote is applicable and acceptable, then it is sufficient.

Gideon Spanier: Papers go global in battle for growth
Related Articles
Published: 19 December 2012
The Guardian is the latest London newspaper that is trying to conquer the world.
Despite the threat of strike action at home over plans to make up to 68 staff redundant, the loss-making paper has given the goahead for a new digital edition for Australia, following on the heels of its Guardian America operation.
The hope at The Guardian is that costs in Oz can be contained by teaming up with a local investor — Graeme Wood, who backs the independent news website The Global Mail — and that it can generate new profitable revenues.
Other London media organisations are looking overseas for growth: From the Daily Mail's MailOnline, the world's most popular news website with over 100 million monthly users, to Conde Nast International, the London-based publisher of Vogue, to BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the Beeb.
Exporting these brands makes sense when the home market is tough and mature and digital offers global scale.
The Economist, now with around 85% of its readership outside the UK, and the Financial Times, with 78% of its audience overseas, are two successful British global digital brands. But they are exceptional as they provide specialist content behind online paywalls.
It's harder to make money out of general news, when so much is freely available and shared on social media. It's not as if markets such as North America or Australia are under-served with existing media and there are lots of free competitors.
"It's incredibly difficult," says Douglas McCabe of Enders Analysis, unless a British outfit can offer a "specialist proposition or find a genuine gap in the market". Think how few foreign news brands have got traction here.
The Guardian has tried repeatedly to crack America with its left-of-centre journalism. Around 30% of The Guardian's global online audience comes from America, so it is logical to target those readers with US advertising on its free website. But even now, after a renewed push that began last year with a team imported from London, those close to the company admit that it isunlikely to break even in the US for at least a couple more years.
The Guardian is now targeting Australia because it is the paper's second largest foreign audience, after America, amounting to close to 5% of its global online readership. The idea is that its free website might attract a big following, while some established local players put up paywalls.
MailOnline, owned by Daily Mail & General Trust, a minority shareholder in the Evening Standard, is an interesting case because it has created a website that it is quite different from the UK print edition — and it is investing heavily in the US where it can see a gap in the market.
DMGT says its focus for now is not on "instant profitability" — rather on relentlessly building the number of users and encouraging loyalty and more frequent usage with video, which attracts premium advertising. Over time, the plan is to get to know users better, to target them with ads and e-commerce.
The digital market is still in its infancy, especially in tablets.
Across the industry, consolidation looks logical in a world where there is so much choice and most consumers are unwilling to pay for news, even for apps, while there is virtually unlimited advertising inventory (pushing down on prices). It would seem logical, for example, for News Corporation, with operations in the UK, US and Australia, to share editorial content between titles from different countries. Publishers are always looking for new ways to present and package news too. One suggestion at News Corp has been to take the Irish editions of its UK papers and repackage them for the potentially huge Irish-American audience in the US.
But even niche audiences aren't guaranteed to work. FT Deutschland, a German venture that was separate from the main FT, closed earlier this month.
The awkward truth is that there may be room for fewer global news brands in future.

How did macaroni and cheese become elevated to the new sought-after side dish?
Samuel Muston
Samuel Muston is deputy editor & food editor of The Independent Magazine. He also writes a weekly food column
Thursday 02 May 2013
Mac and cheese, it seems to me, is the Alexander the Great of food. For in the past 12 months the dish has annexed restaurant menus with the same speed and facility which the King of Macedon cleaved his way through Persia. It is a culinary whirlwind, a phenomenon cast in molten cheese and elbow pasta.
It is now as ubiquitous in restaurants as "small plates" and those exposed filament light bulbs. Visit Byron in Cambridge and you'll find it served as a gold-crusted side; at Goodman, in The City, it reaches some sort of apotheosis coming with black truffle; go south from there to Brixton's Wishbone and witness them throwing angina-worries to the wind as they dip their version in deep-fat fryer. Or, if you prefer, have it as an adornment to your finger-lickin' chicken at Brighton's BBQ Shack. Not your thing? Oh well, you can still visit Mayfair's Automat and order it as a starter or main, plain or with bacon.
The list astounds me because once upon a time in the land of my Nineties and early-noughties childhood it was a thing to be reviled; a culinary freak, the flabbiest of TV dinners – a dish whose preparation was measured out only in microwave bings.
Mrs Beeton may have written two recipes for it in 1861, but a century or so later it seemed only to come in pre-prepared packets, or worse, in tins –glutinous, gloopy, like the contents of some prehistoric swamp liberally doused with Bird's Custard powder.
No restaurant of quality would have had it on its menu. It was as uncool and as Seventies as the Bee Gees. I recall wistfully looking at packets of it in supermarket freezers, taking in the parental dogma that it was "gloppy rubbish" but all the same thinking that melting cheese was good, and pasta was good – so surely this would be double good? At that time what was à la mode in our house was Jamie's Moroccan lamb curry and rocket salads with parmesan shavings.
As I grew older, hungrier, I resented my parents' attitude. I recognise now, however, that they had suffered themselves at the receiving end of the packets of dehydrated pasta and cheese powder. Yes, they could have made the dish from scratch, but they had little desire to make a meal of such little adventurousness; we were after all still in the first years of New Labour, we were optimistic, grasping at sophistication. We made our own guacamole.
Maybe now that optimism has gone, we are looking to simplicity, to homeliness once again. Perhaps we want comfort in discomfiting times. Which explains why we have lustily gobbled up so much down-home Americana of late, a genre of food in which mac and cheese surely sits.
Either way, what is clear is that it is a survivor. Maccheroni, to use its Roman name, has survived centuries of changing fashion largely unscathed. Why? Because it is as adaptable as a chameleon. Google "mac 'n' cheese recipe" and you get 13 million hits.
"There are so many different ways to make it," says Wishbone's William Leigh, the father of the deep-fried version. "You can make it with béchamel, with condensed milk, with ham, leave it gooey or crisp it up and use any number of cheeses."
The cheese, in fact, is a point of fierce debate. You will find proponents of soft French cheese, Italian parmesan, Swiss gruyére and Welsh Caerphilly – on their own, and combined together.
At London's Pitt Cue Co, Tom Adams counsels: "Ogle Shield and Montgomery Cheddar, which has a nice acidity, for the base sauce; then finish with a stilton or stichelton." William Leigh won't even tell me what he uses at Wishbone (though he has generously given us his home recipe, published here).
A hastily convened focus group in my kitchen, however, preferred a mixture of English cheddars. A béchamel base we disapproved of, too. Much better to bind the mix with crème fraîche or cream or cottage cheese. Butter does quite nicely, too.
In fact the exact composition of flavours is secondary to the texture of the finished product. Leigh hits the nail on the head when he says, "the important thing is that it is soft and gooey, with a certain stringiness; the macaroni should have a limited bite and a bit of crunch should be in there somewhere."
The way one can guarantee a happily-textured macaroni is simple: add lots and lots of cheese, whatever it is. If in doubt, add more. If you dare, and you should, the ratio is best at around 2:1, cheese to mac.
Why is it important to use so much? Only at the level when you risk a cheese avalanche do you get a truly indulgent dish. And as Leigh says, that is what mac and cheese is now: "It's a luxury product – and the luxury is the indulgence."
It may not be rarefied, or expensive or require a water bath and tweezers to construct, but what it is, however, is a momentary two fingers to healthy eating, a cocked snook at the make-your-own-guacamole years – and it is all the finer for that.
William Leigh's Ham Hock and Jalapeño Mac 'n' Cheese
Serves 4 hungry people
285g elbow macaroni
80g ham hock, flaked
Pickled jalapeños (as many or as few as you'd like, diced)
50g butter
50g plain flour
600ml milk
1 dash hot sauce (Frank's is great)
1 dash of Worcestershire sauce
150g red Leicester grated
75g mozzarella (the grated, bagged stuff – nothing posh – this needs to go really gooey and stringy)
75g Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon cornflour
75g panko
Salt and pepper
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions and set aside. Pre-heat your oven to 180C. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Cook over a low heat, stirring all the time, until the mixture starts to change colour. I always cook it a little further just to make sure the flour is "cooked out" and loses its raw taste.
Add the milk gradually until the mixture thickens. Add the hot sauce and Worcestershire to the milk. Mix all the cheeses together and reserve about 1/5. Toss the 4/5 with the cornflour (this is to stop it sticking together). Add to the milk/butter/flour mix (your roux) and stir until smooth. This may take a few minutes. Season to taste.
Mix with the pasta, add the flaked ham hock and the jalapeños and pour into a baking dish. Mix the remaining cheese with the panko breadcrumbs and scatter over the top. Bake till golden and bubbling.

LM Otero, Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — The record seemed hollow for Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein without a victory.
Klein matched the Big 12 overall record and the FBS mark for quarterbacks with his 27th rushing touchdown Friday night, but the 11th-ranked Wildcats ended their season with a 29-16 loss to seventh-ranked Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.
"It's overshadowed by our ability as a group. We came up short," Klein said. "My heart just goes out to our seniors. We weren't able to send them out the right way."
Kansas State (10-3) was trying to match a school record with 11 victories, but still finished a surprising season in coach Bill Snyder's second Wildcats turnaround. K-State won 11 games six times during a seven-year span in Snyder's first tenure before his three-year retirement, and almost reached that mark again in his third season back.
Joe Adams had his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season, tying the SEC record and giving Arkansas a 10-0 lead in the second quarter before even getting a first down. All-SEC quarterback Tyler Wilson threw two touchdown passes after that.
The Razorbacks (11-2) tied their school record for wins in a season, losing only to No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama — their SEC West rivals who will play for the BCS national championship Monday night.
After fielding the ball near midfield, Adams took a few steps back before squirting through a gap past several defenders. He got all the way to the opposite sideline and got his path cleared by one last block from Javontee Herndon downfield for a 51-yard return, the first or a touchdown in the Cotton Bowl in 51 years.
"It obviously made a major difference," Snyder said. "We knew he's a talented player. We knew that he could make you miss him. .... The players were probably tired of me talking about being able to contain Joe Adams and not let him bounce the ball outside. Sure enough he bounced it outside."
After being held to 15 yards on 12 carries in the first half, Klein finished the opening drive of the third quarter with a 6-yard TD run that got the Wildcats to 19-16. That came after Klein had a 15-yard run on the previous play.
That matched the Big 12 record for rushing touchdowns held by 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams of Texas. The only other FBS quarterback with 27 rushing touchdowns in a season was Ricky Dobbs for Navy in 2009.
Klein finished with 42 yards on 24 carries, while completing 16 of 30 passes for 173 yards.
Wildcats defensive end Meshak Williams was injured at the end of the first half, when he made helmet-to-helmet contact with Emmanuel Lamur when both were trying to tackle Wilson, who put his head down to avoid the hit.
Williams remained down on the field for several minutes being tended to by medical personnel and then placed on a stretcher. He gave a thumbs-up signal when being placed on a cart, then when he was being driving off the field extended his right arm high and flashed a Wildcat sign.
Kansas State officials said after the game that Williams had already been released from the hospital and was going back to the hotel to join the team. They said he was moving all extremities and doing OK.
Adams, who had five catches for only 22 yards Friday, was the only FBS player this season with multiple punt returns for TDs, along with rushing and receiving scores.
"It was another one of those where you just go, Wow!" coach Bobby Petrino said. "You could see when he made the catch he had in mind what he was going to do."
The last punt return for a touchdown in the Cotton Bowl also was by a Razorback, when Lance Alworth had a 49-yard return in a 7-6 loss to Duke in the 1961 game.
The only other 11-win seasons for the Razorbacks were by the Lou Holtz-coached team in 1977 and coach Frank Broyles' only undefeated season at Arkansas in 1964.

Report: Lockout could cost Boston businesses "roughly $1M" per game
Sep 10, 2012, 10:28 PM EST
Businesses near the Boston Bruins' TD Garden could lose as much as $1 million per locked out game, according to the Boston Business Journal.
"Roughly each [Bruins] home game is worth anywhere between $850,000 to $1 million," said Pat Moscaritolo, CEO of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau. "… Money that is generated outside the four walls of TD Garden. That means spending in the North End, North Station area, spending at restaurants and sports bars, sports paraphernalia, etc."
James Brooks writes that "anxiety is slowly overtaking" shops around the area.
Restaurant owner Peter Colton paints a grim future for sales during a lockout.
"Without those events, we wouldn't be here, a lot of other businesses wouldn't be here," Colton said. "People don't come home here at the end of the day, they don't live here, for the most part."

I'm pretty sure the owners or players could care less. I guess this is why MLB does so well having 81 home games per year. Think of all the extra income businesses would have with if there were 40 more home games a year in the NHL season!!!! If I were an owner I'd push for at least 100 games in a season, make these players WORK for their millions. Helps local business and players can get their extra money they so desperately need.
- hockeyflow33 - Sep 10, 2012 at 11:47 PM
You can't extrapolate numbers that way. I don't have the numbers but I would imagine that based on a per game average, MLB is the least impactful of the four majors because of the number of games.
- windmiller4 - Sep 11, 2012 at 1:53 AM
You need to remember the physical strain an 82 game season takes on a hockey player. Simply put, baseball can play as many games as they want because its not a physical sport and you don't have to exert the same effort to play as you do in hockey. Not saying anything bad about baseball, but its already tough on players to go 82 games plus playoffs, from the health standpoint of the players 100+ games can only hurt them in the long run.
- hockeyknowledge - Sep 11, 2012 at 8:19 AM
If Boston is affected this much, what about cities like Detroit or Pittsburg.
- homelanddefense - Sep 11, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Im not sure what you are getting at with that comment. Do you think Boston isnt a hockey city?
- richter35lundqvist30 - Sep 11, 2012 at 11:59 AM
He's probably just pointing out that Boston is a much stronger city compared to Detroit and Pittsburgh regarding peoples ability to go out and spend extra money around the arena when they go to a game. Nothing against DET and PIT they're nice cities but Boston is in better shape right now with jobs and the economy.
- homelanddefense - Sep 11, 2012 at 2:52 PM
if that is the case then I definitely misinterpreted him

Financial savings by belligerent drunks estimated to be twice that amount, however.
- mclovinhockey - Sep 11, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Imagine the NHL with 80 home games in places like let's say, Phx or NJ…. They lose money every game, then they lose twice as much. 40 home games is good for the teams.

Wellsboro Golf Vacation Rentals(15)

Recent Wellsboro Reviews
My husband and I needed a getaway/date night and he loves roughing it in the middle of nowhere while my idea of roughing it is having only basic cable on the television. Because we usually do what I want to do I thought I would suck it up this time and do what he would like. Hooray for that choice! The cabin was perfect for us; cozy, warm, and amenities for the wimpy wife (TVLand! AC/Heat!!, Modern appliance!!!!) For Husband it was a glorious cabin and in his head he started building his own cabin ;) We arrived too late to really enjoy the area offerings-but we plan to return in late spring/early summer with family to really dive into the PA Grand Canyon experience. In the meantime we snuggled safely during a snowy evening. AND Dixie was amazing with communication and hospitality. I am a big fan of her work :)
This was absolutely amazing! A group of 8 of us spent a long weekend just relaxing and hanging out. It's a beautiful timber lodge with plenty of space to spread out. There is a huge well-stocked kitchen with all the modern, up-to-date conveniences. It has decks surrounding the lodge with an outdoor fireplace and a grill for cooking out. The grounds are lovely with a pond and large pine area with breath-taking views. There was more than enough room to accommodate all 8 of us. Highly recommend this place! We didn't want to leave!
Beautiful New Cabin
My husband and I met a college friend and her family here for a weekend reunion. The cabin is beautiful and brand new. It was the perfect size for the six of us. The owner was easy to work with and had a genuine concern for the satisfaction of her renters. We got to meet Dixie and speak with her when leaving from our stay. The cabin was located close to the park and canyon. The scenery is beautiful. We were there to see the beautiful fall colors. There is a bike/kayak rental right across the road. The cabin was located approximately 10 miles from Wellsboro. The town was quant, like something on a Christmas card. The main street was lined with small stores and restaurants. I would come back again and definitely recommend it to a friend. I wish we had more time to spend there.

Museum boldly goes into the space between science and fiction
Monday 18 September 2000
The fusion of fact and fiction is at the centre of an exhibition at the Science Museum in London that aims to popularise concepts of mathematics, biology and, above all, physics, with props and characters from
Star Trek used to explain subjects such as rocket propulsion and space exploration.
The fusion of fact and fiction is at the centre of an exhibition at the Science Museum in London that aims to popularise concepts of mathematics, biology and, above all, physics, with props and characters from Star Trek used to explain subjects such as rocket propulsion and space exploration.
The exhibition recreates areas of the USS Enterprise - the bridge, the transporter room, the sick bay - with interactive exhibits arranged around them, which allow complex aspects of science to be explored by visitors.
The displays, designed with children in mind, deal with topics including the creation of simulated matter (as used to power the Starship Enterprise), controlling an electron beam, detecting cosmic rays and using magnetic force.
Props from the Star Trek series and films are compared in exhibits with real technological developments such as Biojector, a device using compressed carbon dioxide to penetrate the skin to inject medicine without damage to human tissue.
Trekkies talk with pride about the insistence of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of the series, on sound science and point out that sliding doors, computer disks and portable communicator devices all appeared in Star Trek before being made commercially.
A popular exhibit uses the transporter room, associated with the Star Trek catchphrase: "Beam me up, Scottie", to explore the blue-screen technology of virtual reality, while another uses thermal imaging to map heat spots in the bodies of visitors.
The exhibition was first created by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in the United States, in 1992. It has even been at the Science Museum before, five years ago. Consequently, some exhibits are starting to show their age and several have already broken, even though the show has been open to the public for just three days. Many information displays carry references to the 20th century, which grates with many now that we have entered the 21st.
Perhaps the bigger question is how far the collaboration of science and fiction should be taken, especially as the show was devised in conjunction with Paramount Pictures, makers of the Star Trek feature films, which is no doubt benefiting from the publicity. The museum is also doing a brisk trade in Star Trek merchandise outside the exhibition hall.
Entry to the exhibition plus the museum costs an adult £12. Entry for children, who can visit the museum free, is £5.75. Several visitors said they found the entrance fee too high. Philip Toop, 43, an equities trader from north London, visiting with his son, Simon, nine, said: "We are very disappointed by the exhibition. It seems to me not really about Star Trek as such. It is a vehicle for the museum to place its other exhibits in a Star Trek format ... and a device to raise money for the museum."
Graham Cranfield, 55, visiting with his son, Stephen, 20, said: "One or two exhibits were not actually functioning ... I think it is a little bit expensive."

Preview : Pakistan aim to optimise talent pool
News : Lakmal out of Pakistan Tests
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka
Teams: Sri Lanka
For a team that had only four Tests to play in 2013, Sri Lanka have had a crammed eight months since December of last year. In that time Sri Lanka have had full away tours to the UAE, Bangladesh and England, have played the maximum number of possible games in the Asia Cup and World T20, all before last month's South Africa tour, which was their first home assignment of the year.
Though fans have been glad for the surfeit of cricket, the schedule has begun to take a toll on the cricketers. The pace attack in particular has been affected. Nuwan Pradeep missed the South Africa series with injury, before Shaminda Eranga was also forced out of action for nine of the ten Test-match days in July.
Both had recovered in time to be in contention for the first Test against Pakistan, but Sri Lanka are now without their other key seam bowler, Suranga Lakmal, after he injured his ankle during the last Test match. Lakmal had also missed the England Tests with a hamstring tear.
"Eranga is fully fit but with Suranga out of the series, either Eranga or Suranga have been injured from the Bangladesh series onwards," captain Angelo Mathews said. "We didn't have both of them together - which would have been a very formidable attack. But I still have good options in Dhammika Prasad and Nuwan Pradeep. They've bowled pretty well in the recent past. And the two spinners have been bowling magnificently. I feel that I've got the bowling attack to take 20 wickets."
Prasad and Pradeep had both contributed to the series victory in England, but their work rates have been light in comparison to the spin bowlers' labours. Rangana Herath has borne the heaviest load, delivering 172 overs in the two Tests against South Africa, only three weeks after he had delivered 127.3 overs in two Tests in England. Four Sri Lanka bowlers are in this year's top five for most Test overs bowled, including the December 31 Abu Dhabi Test, which means Herath has bowled 491.4 overs - 209.4 more than anyone else. With another spin-friendly Galle pitch on the cards, he may not have much respite in this series, Mathews suggested.
"We get a lot of slow turning tracks here and the spinners come into play more often than not," Mathews said. "Rangana has been our No.1 spinner for so many years now, after Muttiah Muralitharan's retirement. Playing in Sri Lanka, it's unfortunate that he has to bowl a lot of overs, but that's the truth."
Pakistan, meanwhile, have had no international commitments since the World T20 ended in early April. Their last Test had in fact been against Sri Lanka, in late January. Opponents coming off a long break might usually be cause for encouragement for the other side, but given the signs of fatigue in his own team, Mathews was not so sure.
"Pakistan have had a good rest whereas we've been playing continuous cricket," he said. "It's always good to get a bit of a rest as well, to refresh your minds and bodies. That's the challenge we are facing as players. When you're playing constantly, you get drained mentally and physically. But the challenge for us is to try and be consistent. It works both ways. They can be a bit rusty, but you never know. They are very unpredictable. They come out all guns blazing. They are a very formidable team when it comes to Tests."
The Galle stadium has been decked out in Mahela Jayawardene posters and billboards ahead of his final Test at a venue that has been the site of some of his greatest innings, from the maiden ton against New Zealand to the 180 against England in 2012. A grand farewell is being planned for Jayawardene at the SSC, which is his home ground, but emotions have already begun running high in the Sri Lanka dressing room, which will feel his absence keenly, Mathews said.
"I'm trying my best to make him play for another year, but unfortunately it's going to end. What a great player he is. The contribution he has made for Sri Lanka cricket for the past 16-17 years is unbelievable - scoring 10,000 runs in both formats.
"On and off the field he is a great gentleman, and I personally learned a lot from him. When I walked into the team he was my first captain and he treated everyone the same. It's very hard to not have him in a team. Any captain would love to have a guy like Mahela. It's going to be a sad moment for Sri Lanka cricket, but we can cherish the things he's done in the past."

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The Chinese government said on Saturday it will deploy eight inspection teams across the country to investigate how regional governments are implementing 19 central policies and will hold accountable those found wanting.
The policies involved range widely, from economic development to housing and the environment.
Policy transmission from Beijing downward has often been a problem in China, with laws and regulations sometimes ignored or selectively enforced or implemented.
The State Council, China's cabinet, said in a statement that despite progress in rolling out a string of reform initiatives under Premier Li Keqiang in the past year, many had not been carried out fully or delivered the expected results.
"Responsibility for poor implementation of policy measures will be investigated, accountability will be serious, and there will be verbal admonishments, criticism or even administrative sanctions according to laws and regulations," the government said in a directive on its website.
The inspection would run from June 25 to July 5 and look into the implementation of 19 policies launched by the State Council since July 2013.
The inspectors would also be looking for officials who pass the buck, cause delays or are lazy, it said.
"Those who are not willing to act for fear of making mistakes or who put off their work will be brought to book," the official Xinhua news agency said.
At the top of the list of the areas the inspection teams would be probing was progress in the elimination of administrative approvals, widely seen as necessary to streamline business and boost economic activity.
Another would be how well governments were strengthening ecological and environmental protections.
The central government is trying to shift away from the entrenched development model that drove China's economy for the past two decades in which air, water and soil quality were often sacrificed for GDP growth, and officials were evaluated based on economic indicators.
The inspectors would also be checking progress on areas including construction of major water projects, investment policies for non-state companies, employment of college graduates, construction of affordable housing, and efforts to ensure that the financial services industry supports the real economy.

Your vote could help send a cute little Butler Township girl and her family on a week-long cruise and maybe even help win them a new crossover vehicle.
Two-year-old Lauren Schattie, of the Drums section of Butler Township, is a top finalist in �??LIVE�??s Cutest Kid Search�?� on �??LIVE! with Kelly and Michael�?� �?? the popular syndicated morning talk show aired locally on ABC affiliate WNEP-TV.
�??She was so excited. Everybody was excited,�?� Lauren�??s mom, Amy Schattie, said describing the family�??s reaction to learning the news.
The proud mom spoke with a reporter on her cell phone as she and her husband Anthony were en route to New York City with Lauren and Lauren�??s brother Landen, 3, in tow.
LIVE�??s Cutest Kid Search was announced in June, and nearly 100,000 entries were submitted for consideration in two categories: Babies, for little ones between the ages of 6-48 months, and Big Kids, for 4 to 8-year-olds, according to Live! Publicity Coordinator Lauren McTague.
Three finalists in each category were to be flown to New York City to appear on �??LIVE�?� today and participate in a professional photo shoot after the show. TV viewers can see the photos on Thursday and cast their votes for their favorites. The winners will be announced on Friday.
The winning �??Baby�?� and the winning �??Big Kid�?� each will enjoy a seven-day cruise for a family of four aboard Norwegian Cruise Line. And the �??Cutest Kid�?� winner with the most overall votes also will receive a fully loaded, brand-new 2013 Dodge Journey for his or her family.
While the show offered to fly them to New York, Amy said she and Anthony thought it would be easier just to drive there. She said the show is putting them up at The Pearl �?? a boutique hotel in Times Square �?? for the week. Amy, an eye-care technician, said her employer and the employer of her husband, a cable installer, had no problem giving them the week off.
Amy said her mother-in-law, Dolores Schattie, of Hazleton, is a big fan of �??Live!�?� and suggested she enter Lauren in the contest. �??One day, they called and told us she was a finalist,�?� Amy said.
Amy, who said she�??s �??excited and nervous�?� because �??going on TV is kind of nerve racking,�?� described her daughter as �??an outgoing, dare-devil kind of girl. She�??ll try anything. She�??ll follow everything her brother does.�?�
Amy said this is the first contest she�??s in which she entered her daughter. As for the future?
�??I don�??t know. We�??ll see how this one goes,�?� she said with a giggle.
See the Schattie family on �??Live! with Kelly and Michael�?� today at 9 a.m. on ABC affiliate WNEP-TV. Watch the show on Thursday to cast your vote and again on Friday to find out who is The Cutest Kid.
