Yea, thanks Whippetgrappler for doing this. I'm sure it's a lot of work. A lot of people actually beat the seeds this year - interesting!
thanks for the congrats. it was fun and i apologize for not capitalizing the names. hope to compete again next year. maybe i can get in a league on this site too? i'm in one on the other site but a league on each forum would be fun. maybe not as i would be conflicted rooting for different wrestlers, especially when they would wrestle each other. anyway, it was a great year for me to follow wrestler and thanks whippet for doing it and all the work that went with it.
I'm more of a Mike Poeta. Fabulously talented, just a bit unlucky.
Thanks to Whippet for running this. Awesome job for real. Sorry if I didn't enter names correctly.(I honestly don't even remember how i entered them) I can't wait for next year.
You have handled your leadership role with more aplomb and selflessness than any Fantasy League Commissioner I have had dealings with or witnessed. The good you have done will echo throughout eternity Whippet.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Damn, I need to start paying more attention to the big guys, I dropped like a rock after about 165.
Thanks Whippet - be a dick next year and kick some people out (I would have been out this year for not following the rules).

When it comes to using your own fireworks this Fourth of July at your home in the SCV, the best advice we can give you is, just don't. It is illegal to use any kind of fireworks within Los Angeles County and the risk of starting a wildfire, getting charged with a felony, or being injured just isn't worth it.
"In Santa Clarita, the use or sale of all fireworks, even "safe and sane" fireworks, is prohibited," said Sgt. Darren Harris of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's station.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news alerts delivered right to your inbox
The penalties for possession or use of illegal fireworks can range from a fine of up to $1,000 to one year in county jail. While the possession of "safe and sane" fireworks is technically legal, using the fireworks inside Los Angeles County is not.
Certain products like m-80's and m-100's are considered explosives and are a felony to possess with penalties as high as 16 months in state prison. Parents are also liable for any damage or injuries caused by their children using fireworks.
"Safe and sane" fireworks can be purchased in nearby Ventura County and Palmdale, but can only be used where purchased or in other areas where "safe and sane" fireworks are legal. Though in Los Angeles County, Palmdale has a city ordinance that allows fireworks to be sold and used in specific parts of the city, according to Suzie Ferrell of the Sheriff's Department Headquarters.
In addition to it being illegal, the use of fireworks creates a serious risk of wildfires.
"With our hot temperatures and dry brush, it may only take a small spark to start a serious fire. We hope residents will not use fireworks. A brush fire not only threatens lives, and homes, but also puts the lives of our firefighters at risk," said Assistant Chief Bill Niccum of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department and Santa Clarita Sheriff's Department will be increasing their staff and patrols to enforce the laws and protect against fires. Harris said that the increased number of calls resulting from parties and illegal use of fireworks challenges their resources, but "we will take every call regarding fireworks, and we will respond to them."
According to www.safejuly4th.org, in 2008, seven people died and an estimated 7,000 were treated for firework related injuries, mostly burns, cuts, and bruises to the hands, eyes, and legs. More than half of the people injured were under 20 years of age.
"We want them to enjoy their Independence Day and do it safely," said Harris.
Residents who see illegal fireworks may contact their local Sheriff's station or give an anonymous tip by calling 1-800-222-TIPS or visiting the Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers website.

BUFFALO VALLEY — The Leflore Savages baseball team had a short stay in last weekend's Buffalo Valley Tournament.
The Savages lost 7-6 to the Boswell Scorpions in the opening round on Thursday night, then fell 9-1 to the Kiowa Cowboys in the consolation semifinals on Friday. The second loss eliminated the Savages from the tournament.
Carl Albert State College Assistant Softball Coach Megan Young will give softball lessons at $25 per hour to girls up through age 18.
To schedule a session or for additional information, call (580) 704-4517.

Friday Couple Scrambles will take place at 5:30 p.m. every Friday at Wolf Ridge Golf Course.
The entry fee is $15 per person for the nine-hole weekly event. For additional information, call (918) 647-2582.
— — —
Due to space constraints in today's edition, I won't be too wordy. The schedule at the end of the column talks about all what's coming up.
I will say that the complete brackets of the Carl Albert Tournament and the Whitesboro Tournament will run in a later edition this week, either on Wednesday and/or Thursday. Thus, I won't list the complete schedule of games in those events until then, also as a space savor.
Poteau at Red Oak, 4 p.m.
Cameron at Panama, 4 p.m.
Whitesboro at Heavener, 5:30 p.m.
BROKEN ARROW — Playing in the Broken Arrow Tournament may have been cut short by the rain, but the Poteau Lady Pirates stayed perfect in the young season, picking up four wins with their power hitting and solid defense over the weekend.
After opening with a pair of victories over Class 6A powers Tulsa Union and Edmond Santa Fe early Friday, the undefeated Lady Pirates rallied for a 3-1 win over Glenpool on Saturday after run ruling Haskell 9-1 on Friday at Arrowhead Park.
ere a pair of upsets on the second day of action at the 2012 Lady 'Back Classic softball tournament — and both came from the same team.
The Savanna Lady Bulldogs made it to the title game with victories over Red Oak (2-1) in the winner's-bracket semifinal and Panama (2-0) in the winner's-bracket final.
The Lady Dawgs were slated to play for the title Monday night, and had to be beaten twice. The title game, and four other games, were to have been played on Saturday, but rain washed out the final day of action. The games were then rescheduled for Monday.
While the beginning of the Red Oak Eagle Classic started off good for the Wister Wildcats, Day 2's contest was anything but good for them.
After the 'Cats posted a 9-1 win over Smithville and 8-0 victory over Oktaha on Thursday afternoon at Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton, they were soundly routed 16-0 by the Rattan Rams in Friday's winner's-bracket finals.
TULSA — There has been one catch phrase that seems to keep on popping up, in news print or by word of month that has to do with the new direction in which the Poteau High School football program is now headed under the leadership of Greg Werner, the new coach. — "Buying In."
In the dictionary, the phrase "Buying In" means to agree with. You can almost see the lights starting to burn brighter in the Pirates' eyes as the new mind set and scheme of doing things is starting to be absorbed into their very soul.
POCOLA — The Pocola Indians held their first football scrimmage of the the 2012 football season Friday night against the Gore Pirates in front of a large crowd at John Carter Field.
The two teams took turns running 10 plays apiece alternating between varsity and junior varsity. On Pocola's second play from scrimmage, sophomore Michael McBride slashed his way through the Pirate defense for a 61-yard touchdown. Four plays, later freshman quarterback Dario Abrego found junior receiver Garrret Howard for a six-yard completion and a first down.
PORUM — School has started for most students. However, for the Arkoma Mustangs, they were in class on the football field in Friday night's road scrimmage against the Porum Panthers.
The Mustangs scored on their first and last series, both coming compliments of Tyree Nolden. He capped the first series with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Nathan Gragg, then ended things with a 67-yard TD run.
The final day of the 2012 Red Oak Eagle Classic baseball tournament was rained out on Saturday.
The final three games, the consolation championship, third-place game and title game, have tentatively been rescheduled for Monday.
However, since the Wister Wildcats have a pair of Green Valley Conference games against Howe on Monday, the Classic's final three games may be rescheduled once more.
This story will be updated as news warrants.

Logitech's G100s gaming mouse isn't a technological innovation. The corded device has an ergonomic design, buttons with quality quickly evident to the touch and three separate sensitivity settings to help owners find their ideal browsing speed. The simple peripheral is actually a close descendant of the G100 that was never made available in North America, but still found a great deal of success in other territories. It's familiar, but the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ideology implemented in this new line of G series mice shouldn't be held against Logitech.
Instead, the PC gadget manufacturer should be praised for its dedication to quality first. Nothing about the G100s mouse will shock dedicated PC players who desire a litany of buttons close to their sweaty palms, but the sleek finish, durability and overall functionality of this affordable option make it ideal for individuals looking to safely test the PC gaming waters. It's a comfortable feel for both simple browsing and extended weekend gaming sessions, and at the low price of $39.99, the G100s is a smart pickup for buyers on a budget.
For all you tech junkies out there who need cold, hard numbers before even considering a new mouse, here's the information that the company has provided:
Out of all the above features, it's comfort that reigns supreme. Whether you're playing seven consecutive games of League of Legends or just a round of Team Fortress 2, the G100s never ceases to feel like an extension of your natural grip. The smooth coating is polished without causing unwanted slippage, and the segmented feel of the mouse wheel allows for highly accurate scrolling. The 20 million-click lifecycle should allow for all the unnecessary button clacking in games like Torchlight II you've ever wanted, and for someone like me who insists that pressing buttons harder will lead to a greater stockpile of loot, that's a plus.
Yet, the fact still remains that dedicated PC players will want more than what the G100s provides. The extended functionality and plethora of hot buttons found on the high-end devices are absent here, so if you're looking to access spells without laying a hand on the keyboard, this isn't the mouse for you. The G500s or G700s, which are Logitech's other fresh gaming options, will please that audience, but both come at a greater price.
With a basic feature set and $39.99 price tag, the G100s from Logitech is a smart buy for more casual PC gamers. Every bit of its functionality, from the segmented scrolling of the mouse wheel to the smooth, non-skid surface, is top notch. Its durability should also help it remain viable until the owner is ready to graduate to a more sophisticated peripheral, so the meager investment will go a long way. As long as you don't go in expecting a button-coated, top-of-the-line piece of hardware, the G100s is a wonderful gaming option.

Kelly: Gun checks need mental health component
Monday - 4/1/2013, 2:50pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Gun control activist Mark Kelly says a proposed national gun background bill under discussion in the Senate should include better access to mental health records that could prevent psychologically disturbed people from obtaining guns.
Kelly, a former astronaut and husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, said Sunday that the suspect accused of severely wounding his wife could not have bought the guns he wielded if a background check had exposed his mental problems.
Jared Loughner pleaded guilty to shooting Giffords and killing six people in Tucson in January 2011. Case records released last week showed Loughner passed a background check despite evidence of his agitated mental state.
Kelly pressed for the proposed background check law in an interview on Fox News Sunday.

DOBBINS HEIGHTS — The town's budget is growing, but residents won't see a tax increase.
The town council held a short budget presentation prior to its regular meeting Thursday night. Town Clerk Mary Magee said although the town's $320,365 budget is 2.6 percent higher than last year, property tax rates will remain the same at 50 cents per $100 in property value.
The largest chunk of the budget, $136,950, will go toward administration followed by $65,800 for street maintenance. Parks and recreation and public safety account for $24,000 each and $31,000 will go toward sanitation.
In addition to the operating budget, the town will continue to receive a $500,000 community development block grant from the state commerce department.
The budget proposal will be on display in the town hall from today until June 25 and the council will hold a meeting to adopt the budget June 26 at 6:30 p.m.
During the monthly reports, council member Angeline David said that the community pool would be opening June 23, with hours scheduled from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. She said the cost would be $2 per child but did not yet have a price set for adults.
Council member Tyré L. Holloway said he was working to find a contractor to repair the basketball court to "help our kids and give them something to do over the summer." He also encouraged residents to call law enforcement if they saw any illegal activity in the recreation areas.
Both Holloway and David emphasized the need for donations toward a new playground in the community.
Richmond County Sheriff James E. Clemmons Jr. was also at the meeting to address residents' concerns.
The sheriff said that he had stepped up patrols in the area.
"We have a presence here," he said. "If you don't see it, call me." When one resident requested that deputies get out of their patrol cars and actually walk around the neighborhood, Clemmons replied, "Done."
Clemmons also had a concern of his own. He asked the town to work with residents to improve visibility of house numbers for emergencies. He said deputies and other emergency personnel sometimes have to get dispatchers to call back to get descriptions of homes where the calls came from.
"When they need us and we can't get there, they're not gonna be pleased with us," he said.

Optibase Introduces H.264 Video codec in a Carrier Grade Solution; MGW IPTV Family Will Provide Seamless Migration Path.
H.264, also known as MPEG-4 part 10 AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is a video compression standard that offers significantly greater compression than its predecessors and is aimed at overcoming network bandwidth limitations. The H.264 standard can provide DVD-quality video at less than 1.5 Mbps, and is considered promising for full-motion video over cable, satellite, and ADSL.
"We believe that the H.264 standard will be adopted widely as the new IPTV broadcast-quality standard, eventually replacing MPEG-2," said Uzi Breier, CEO of Optibase. "Over the past several months we have integrated advanced H.264 encoding support into our flagship carrier grade products, MGW 5100 and MGW 1100, and are proud to demonstrate high quality encoding at NAB."
"Telcos and Service Providers who have successfully deployed Optibase's MGW 1100 or MGW 5100 for IPTV, will be able to seamlessly migrate from MPEG-2 to the MPEG-4 H.264 format. Using the very same MGW 5100 and MGW 1100 architecture and management solutions, Optibase's customers will have the ability to carry out analog or digital H.264 encoding and transcoding, from high bit-rate DVB MPEG-2 directly to MPEG-4 H.264, resulting in high-quality low bit rate TV streaming. In the race to offset threats by cable and wireless operators, Optibase solutions facilitate the lower storage and bandwidth requirements that will enable telecom operators to broaden their reach to larger numbers of subscribers and offer extended IPTV services."

The Cambridge Classical Concert Series
BROCHURE DESIGN JNV Print 01787 464221 Email: postmaster @jnvprint.com PRINTED BY: Clan Press 01553 772737 Email: email@example.com WELCOME to the 2012 /13 Cambridge Classical Concert Series which boasts a truly outstanding line-up of world class orchestras. The season opens on 26 October with a visit by the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (whose two concerts in last year's season were complete sell-outs). We are also delighted to host the Prague Symphony Orchestra, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, the European Union Chamber Orchestra (with soloist Julian Lloyd Webber) and the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra. We are delighted to announce that we are holding season ticket prices at the same level as last year. By subscribing to all concerts you can save over 20% on your tickets.

The venue has a very special ambience and � if the popularity of the Classical Concert Season is anything to go by � there is a terrific audience for classical music in Cambridge. During my three-year residency, I plan to add to the richness of the music on offer by holding performances, giving talks, advising on programming and supporting music students throughout the county.'

Box Office 01223 357851 www.cornex.co.uk Tuesday 13 November 2012 � 7.30pm Thursday 24 January 2013 � 7.30pm Prague Symphony Orchestra Conductor Soloist Smetana Beethoven Jan�cek Dvo�k Heiko Mathias F�rster Igor Tchetuev, piano Bartered Bride Overture Piano Concerto No. 4 Adagio Symphony No. 8 Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor Soloist Brahms Chopin Beethoven Fabien Gabel Janina Fialkowska, piano Tragic Overture Piano Concerto No. 2 Symphony No. 6 (`The Pastoral') Founded in 1934, the Prague Symphony Orchestra is a leading Czech music ensemble with an outstanding international reputation. It is conducted by Heiko Mathias F�rster, one of the most compelling young conductors of his generation. The Bartered Bride is Smetana's most popular work and the Overture which opens this evening's concert brims with sheer rhythmic vitality. With its elegant cadences and subtle complexities, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 is one of the world's major piano concerti. After a consummate performance of Jan�cek's lyrical Adagio, the evening ends with Dvo�k's joyous and tender Symphony No. 8 which draws on the Bohemian folk music so beloved by the composer. Did you know? Smetana was naturally gifted as a pianist, and gave his first public performance at the age of six. Pre-concert talk Free to ticket holders, at 6pm at Cambridge University Press Bookshop on the corner of Trinity Street and St Mary's Street. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra returns to the Corn Exchange to present an outstanding concert of Romantic masterpieces, conducted by the charismatic Fabien Gabel. Brahms' Tragic Overture provides a wonderfully emotional and dramatic introduction to the evening. Janina Fialkowska is one of the world's finest Chopin interpreters; the perfect exponent for Chopin's Piano Concerto No.2, full of spirited Polish folk music and with a dazzling piano score. Dramatic writing also takes centre stage in Beethoven's `Pastoral' Symphony, its turbulent `Storm' movement surrounded by music of sunny grace and rustic charm, a fitting finale to an extraordinary concert. Did you know? Brahms is sometimes grouped with JS Bach and Beethoven as one of the `Three Bs'.

The evening begins with Bernstein's bright and vivacious Candide Overture. Lutoslawski's Little Suite for Orchestra is a richly textured, atmospheric piece drawing on Polish folk music. One of the greatest violin concerti of all time, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto is a towering achievement of the Romantic era and is performed with panache by acclaimed soloist Agata Szymczewska. The second half of the concert features Mahler's magnificent Symphony No. 5, which ranges across a huge emotional canvas, from the consummate yearning of the opening trumpet solo to the turbulent passions of the stormy second movement. Did you know? While visiting Britain, Felix Mendelssohn met Queen Victoria and her musical husband Prince Albert, who both greatly admired his music. Pre-concert talk Free to ticket holders, at 6pm at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Downing Street Agata Szymczewska Jacek Kaspszyk Following their hugely popular concert in last year's series, the European Union Chamber Orchestra makes a welcome return. World famous cellist and Cambridge Corn Exchange Artist-in-Residence Julian Lloyd Webber is joined by his wife Jiaxin Cheng to perform Vivaldi's lyrical and eloquent Concerto for Two Cellos in G Minor. With its lilting rhythms and dusky atmosphere, it's easy to see why Elgar himself singled out Serenade for Strings as his favourite work. Julian Lloyd Webber concludes the first half of this evening's concert with a performance of Eric Whitacre's evocative and pastoral The River Cam. One of the most moving pieces of music written in the twentieth century, Barber's Adagio for Strings is instantly recognizable as the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated film Am�lie. The evening draws to a close with a spirited performance of Schubert's fresh, lyrical Symphony No. 5, an uplifting note on which to end this remarkable concert. Did you know? Eric Whitacre's The River Cam was inspired by the composer's daily riverside strolls from Cambridge to Newnham during his time as a Visiting Fellow at Sidney Sussex College in autumn 2010.

Friday 17 May 2013 � 7.30pm Moscow State Symphony Orchestra Conductor Soloist Rimsky-Korsakov Tchaikovsky Tchaikovsky Pavel Kogan Tatiana Kolesova, piano Introduction & Three Miracles from Tsar Sultan Piano Concerto No. 1 Symphony No. 6 in B Minor All performances by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are accompanied by a range of Creative Projects, that are designed to develop and inspire local communities and young musicians. If you're a local musician, a music teacher, run a music group or are studying music at any level and would like to find out what you can get involved in, call Daniel Schumann at the Corn Exchange on 01223 457524 or email email@example.com ADVERTISEMENT The internationally acclaimed Moscow State Symphony Orchestra ends the 2012 /13 Cambridge Classical Concert Season in spectacular fashion. The evening opens with Introduction and Three Miracles from Rimsky-Korsakov's voluptuous and exotic Tsar Sultan Suite. One of the brightest pianists to emerge from Russia in recent years, soloist Tatiana Kolesova performs Tchaikovsky's great Piano Concerto No. 1 with verve and brilliance. From its slow, ominous opening, to the turbulent pathos contained within, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B Minor (`Pathetique') is the composer's great swan song. The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, under revered conductor Pavel Kogan, brings this great work powerfully to life. Did you know? Encouraged by his brother, Rimsky-Korsakov joined the Imperial Russian Navy at the age of 12!
