A terribly underrated game.
Trespasser: Jurassic Park is an interesting game to review. It's a game that never truly lived up to all the amazing gameplay claims and all the potential it had during it's three-year disastrous development. But then again, could a game with so many promises really be expected to fulfill every single one? I began the game expecting nothing but what everyone had told me for years. I was expecting a terrible, boring, broken, mediocre, irritating, ugly game. Boy, was I surprised. It's a real shame that Trespasser is considered such a failure, because if the hype wasn't so big back in 1997 and if expectations weren't sky high for "the most revolutionary game ever", then the game might have been received better and seen as the unique and very enjoyable experience that it truly is.
Trespasser is a very unusually good game. I very much wanted to give it four-and-a-half stars, but it's far from perfect and does have some issues. The most unusual aspect of the game is it's emptiness. It's just you and the dinosaurs. From the moment your plane crashes on Site-B until the ending moment when your standing on the Helipad waiting to be rescued, you make not one single contact when another human being and even dinosaurs aren't present for entire areas of a level. It's almost eerie. While the graphics are dated and loaded with issues (the graphics are, in fact, the biggest issue in the game), the entire look and feel of Site-B is almost beautiful and serene. The game takes place in many open fields, canyons, valleys, beaches, mountains, abandoned towns, facilities, and all of the environments are very well detailed and realistic. Even more so for a game from 1998. The game really gives you a genuine feeling of loneliness.
The gameplay is very simple, but definitely the best part of the game. On a basic level, Trespasser is just an FPS. Each level is pretty much you moving from point A to point B, killing dinosaurs with whatever weapons you can find, and trying to stay alive. Some levels have you solving puzzles which are extremely simple and usually consist of finding a key or stacking boxes to get to a certain level you can't reach, but Trespasser has quite a few unique gameplay twists. The first twist is the arm. Most FPS games have you simply walk over items like guns or ammo to pick them up. In Trespasser, you have full control of your right arm and in order to perform an action, you have to extend your right arm and literally pick things up. A lot of people reviews complain about the arm dropping things and the controls for the arm being confusing and complicated, but I never had any issues. Picking stuff up eventually became second nature to me. It's actually a lot of fun.
The combat is also a lot of fun. Using your arm to target a dinosaur and take him out can be very thrilling and also sometimes frightening. Many times in this game I found myself turning around to make sure nothing was behind me and, HOLY SHIT, a raptor was about to attack me. I jumped several times in this game. The second twist is the rag-doll physics. Trespasser the first game to feature actual realistic (to a degree) physics, and not just with a few items. With everything in the game. While the physics are a nice touch and very crucial to a few puzzles in the game, the designers really went hilariously out of control with the physics. Tapping something the littlest bit can lead to boxes flying and weapons falling. It can actually be really funny, but also quite frustrating when your trying to jump across a stack of boxes and they fall and you have you stack them all over again.
The biggest downfall of the game is the graphics. Glitches are abounding in Trespasser. Pop-up is all over the place. Hallways warp and bend the closer you get to them. GUNS GET STUCK IN HALLWAYS. Notice how I capitalized that sentence. It happens all the time. Your walking through a hallway and touch the tip of your gun on the wall when your turning around, and suddenly it's hanging out of the wall. While this is irritating, rather than complain, you can just toss your weapon before you enter a building. Another issue that reviews complain about that is easily avoided.
A final highlight is the narration by John Hammond, which is simply amazing. It really adds to the game and is quite interesting in its own right. Some of it is very sad and poetic. Especially towards the end of the game. Trespasser is a terribly underrated game. Though far from perfect, it is a very unique game and a truly atmospheric experience. As I played the game, I found myself completely immersed in the environments, the dinosaurs, the narration, and I couldn't stop playing. Give the game a chance. Ignore the hype and the disappointment, and just try playing game. You might be surprised.

After failing to break out of their road funk despite Tony Parker's heroics, the San Antonio Spurs look to continue their dominance at home. The Spurs appear primed to get back in the win column and capture their 12th straight home victory Sunday night when they meet the slumping Minnesota Timberwolves. San Antonio has won 15 straight home games in the series by an average of 12.9 points and haven't lost to a visiting Minnesota team since the Kevin Garnett era in 2003-04. While they've dropped seven of nine on the road following a 101-98 overtime loss at Memphis on Friday night, the Spurs are riding their longest home winning streak since a franchise-record, 22-game run Dec. 3, 2010-March 4, 2011. Sunday's game is the first of three straight and seven of 10 at home. San Antonio (28-11) has scored 112.0 points per game in its last six at home, compared to 88.3 in regulation during its three-game losing streak on the road. Parker did all he could to help the team avoid another ro...

Not my favorite.
my husband loved this casserole. I did sub cilantro for the chives but did not change anything else. This was very filling and tastes really good .
I had some fresh salmon left over and thought the recipe read as appealing....not sure if this works. I tried using 1% milk and mixture of fresh and frozen veggies. The texture is more of an omelet with salmon & pasta. I ate because I made it after work and I'm hungry! Too much trouble for what it's worth....a waste of salmon 😠
It was terrible. i don't know why you would combine the milk and eggs together instead of using milk and flour or chicken broth, milk and flour or a cream of soup for the base. If you don't get the temputure just right to combine the milk and eggs, it will curddle.
My husband and i did not like this recipe.

The first record of a total solar eclipse in the Faroe Islands was 30 May 1612 at 11:25am. An ancient story goes that four quarrelsome brothers from the village of Sumba were tending to their sheep and arguing, when they were suddenly shrouded in darkness. They were petrified and promised the Lord that if they lived through the terrible experience, they would live harmoniously. The sun soon reappeared and the brothers never quarrelled again.
During the week of 20 March, eclipse parties, gatherings and festivals will take place across the Faroe Islands. Please see the Total Solar Eclipse (http://solareclipse.fo/
Access: A special direct flight from London, to coincide with the eclipse, will be operated by Atlantic Airways. Please contact the airline direct on firstname.lastname@example.com (online bookings are not possible). Alternative options are to fly via Copenhagen, Oslo or Keflavik.

A registered sex offender is wanted in Columbia County for failing to properly register with authorities.
Kenneth Ray Straughn Jr., 36, is wanted for violating the sex offender requirements, according to Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
Straughn pled guilty to child molestation in Columbia County in 2000.
His last known address was 313 Beech Lane in Grovetown. His whereabouts are unknown, but he is possibly staying in Richmond County.
While a Columbia County contractor will pick up debris left from the recent ice storm, some residents are choosing to dispose of fallen trees and limbs themselves.
"Even though the county says they are going to haul it off, you've still got some people who prefer to burn it," said Larry Felix, a Georgia Forestry Commission ranger who oversees the Columbia and Richmond County office.
"If the county is going to haul it off, that's the best avenue," Felix said. "It's much safer that way."
State and federal emergency management officials toured parts of Columbia County Tuesday to estimate the amount of damage caused by last week's ice storm. The results of those assessments will help determine if the county and the state will receive any reimbursement for the emergency costs and recovery expenses.
The former treasurer of an Evans neighborhood association was sentenced to prison Thursday for stealing more than a quarter-million dollars from the organization.
Laurie Wainwright Vanover, 46, of Andover Court, pled guilty to 10 counts of theft by taking at a sentencing hearing in Evans. She was accused of stealing more than $267,000 from the Stratford Community Association over nearly five years.
What was initially thought to be a drive-by shooting at a Martinez car dealership turned out to be something much less serious.
Someone at Jim Hudson Lexus called authorities at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday stating someone shot a window of the dealership at 3520 Washington Road.
Salesman Tommy Kaszas said he was standing on the front walk in front of the dealership building talking on his cellphone at the time of the incident.
"The next thing I know I heard this noise," he said. "And the glass shattered."
No one was injured when three Columbia County homes were destroyed by fire over the weekend.
Columbia County Fire-rescue personnel responded to a home at 254 Calloway Court in Evans at about 10:30 p.m. Friday.
They responded to a second fire on nearby at 4720 Rhett Drive at 10:45 p.m., according to fire department Batt. Chief Danny Kuhlmann.
Firefighters had to cut and remove trees downed by the ice storm to reach the homes.
"Both homes were extensively damaged and not habitable," Kuhlmann said.
Columbia County officials and emergency responders weathered more complications during last week's ice storm than just ice.
The county Emergency and Operations Division, which coordinated the response to the storm from fire department, law enforcement and medical personnel, had to deal with unforeseen complications, mostly involving communications.
To ensure public safety, generators were used to keep the Emergency and Operations Center, fire stations and the jail and police substation running during the massive power outages.
On any other morning wrought with cold, sleet and icy roads, Pam Tucker would be in Columbia County's Emergency Operations Center directing the county's response.
But a 3 a.m. phone call Wednesday is the only thing that could change the county's Emergency and Operations Division director's plan.
It was the impending birth of her first grandchild.
Twitter @ValerieRowell
The winter storm that swept through the south Tuesday and Wednesday, walloped the Augusta area with a thick layer of sleet and ice, leaving devastation in its wake.
Crumpled trees and collapsed power lines left about 85 percent of Columbia County residents without power on Thursday, while swarms of Georgia Power and other utility crews struggling to restore service.
Columbia County Commission Chairman Ron Cross said the sheer number of fallen trees and damaged power lines made it difficult to get a handle on the situation.
The winter ice storm took its toll on Columbia County, leaving thousands of downed trees and power lines and about 85 percent of residents initially out of power.
Residents are asked to clean up debris for a county contractor to haul away next week.
"The debris is so massive, we have to help," Columbia County Emergency and Operations Director Pam Tucker said.

File: Toy Story 3D
Toy Story 3 is an upcoming American computer-animated 3-D film being produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the third installment in the Toy Story series and is scheduled for release on June 18, 2010, in the United States. Lee Unkrich, who edited the previous films and co-directed the second, takes over as director. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have been confirmed to return to voice the characters of Woody and Buzz respectively.
Andy is departing for college, and his toys, including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen), are going to be put in the attic. Before they can be put in the attic, they are accidentally thrown away and are picked up by the garbage men. The toys find themselves at a local day-care center, where they must try to survive the playful but careless pre-school children. Woody attempts to save his friends and find themselves a new home, but matters are further complicated when Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, but end up causing him to revert to a Spanish version of his delusions of being a space ranger, much to the other toys' discomfort.

After a Milanese judge threw out a previous tax evasion suit brought last year, round two of the label's legal proceedings is on deck for December 3. Italy's Supreme Court reopened the case earlier this year, alleging "omitted and unfaithful earnings declarations" amid Dolce & Gabbana's financial filings. Stefano Gabbana has said previously that the designers "pretend [the charges] don't exist," but with the court date set, it's probably best to make a note of it in one's gilded D&G diary.

This is quite possibly the best wresting game to come along on the PS2, SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 is a game you do not want to miss. With solid controls, sharp visuals, a large number of grapplers and match types, you can't go wrong with a game that packs quite a punch and will have you gladly begging for more. If you're a wrestling fan, buy this right away. If you're not, this game will certainly change your mind.
Mit zahlreichen Verbesserungen, Tweaks und Neuerungen lässt das Team von Yukes die letztjährige Ausgabe vergessen, die eher unter dem Motto "zaghaftes Update" lief. Angesichts des neuen, gut eingebundenen Stamina-Systems, das eine strategische Komponente in die Matches bringt, der neuen Matchtypen, der stark erweiterten Mini-Games, der verbesserten Editoren, der aufgebohrten Grafik und nicht zuletzt auch dank des verbesserten Online-Spiels bieten die PS2-Wrestler stundenlangen Spielspaß. Zwar kann man bei genauem Hinsehen immer noch kleine Mankos finden, an denen die Verbesserungsschraube angesetzt werden kann. Doch da die (im Vergleich zum Vorgänger reduzierten) Clipping-Fehler, der nicht aktuelle Roster oder die fehlenden Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten im Online-Spiel größtenteils kosmetisch sind, bringen sie den Spielspaß sowohl für Solospieler als auch für Multiplayer-Fans nicht ins Wanken. Kurzum: Für Wrestling-Fans führt kein Weg an Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 vorbei.
What makes WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 such fantastic fun to play is its total accessibility. While everyone may not care for the Buried Alive match or Fulfill Your Fantasy, they can always retreat to GM Mode or defend one of their titles instead. If those options still don't tickletheir fancy, they can always just make someone with the excellent create-a-character feature, or drop into an impromptu Season, or simply engage in an old favorite like Hell in a Cell. What's more is that the gameplay has made another noticeable step forward with its strong stamina and momentum systems and the adjustments to the rest of the gameplay are just as effective. And while I'll be the first to admit that the series could still work on its list of recurring problems, there's no other wrestling game since No Mercy that offers this much replay, value, or depth. Kudos to Yuke's and THQ for a job well done.
For a long time, I've felt that the SmackDown series got a lot of critical acclaim but was flawed and too arcade-like to be truly great. It is with SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 that the franchise finally lives up to the hype. With new features, including the killer GM mode and highly improved visuals, it's absolutely the best wrestling game to release on this generation of consoles. Except for the fact that as of release day, the online sucks.
I've always been a hater of this series (far too arcadey for my tastes) but this time around, I'm completely sold. There are a few issues standing between it and true wrestling perfection (a better targeting system would be nice), but they're hardly anything to tarnish the experience. What Yukes has done with SmackDown! is create the perfect hybrid of their arcade approach and dramatic simulation that rivals the addictive nature found in the classic AKI titles last seen on the Nintendo 64. It really goes without saying that if you enjoy WWE Wrestling in any way, shape or form, you will absolutely love SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2006.
Not every single thing that WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 tries to do completely works, but the sheer amount of crazy new stuff in this game more than makes it worth the while of any wrestling fan. The gameplay is the best it's ever been, the presentation is top-notch, and the plethora of available modes is more than enough to keep any WWE enthusiast busy for hours and hours. Maybe Yuke's will surprise everyone and put together another SmackDown! vs. RAW game for the PlayStation 2 next year; but if this does turn out to be the last one for the system, then it will have gone out with a bang.
Game Over Online
If you're looking for the best wrestler out on the market, you need look no farther than Smackdown Versus Raw 2006. An expanded roster with storylines, added GM mode and deeper emphasis on ring psychology makes every match more dynamic and realistic. Definitely something to check out if you're a wrestling fan.
Game Informer Magazine
Whether your skills at management shine or not, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 is nearly everything a wrestling fan could want. Now that the formula has been polished to the point that it gleams, and every addition you could think of has been added, I would like to see Yuke's take some chances on switching up the core gameplay a little. But you definitely can't accuse them of not having high ambitions, as this title is simply the most fully-loaded wrestling title yet. Can you dig it, suckas?
Game Freaks 365
Altogether, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 is a quality game. Whether you're buying the console version or the PSP handheld one, you're going to enjoy this title if you're interested in wrestling or the WWE. Even if you don't like wrestling, I'd recommend trying it at the very least, it's enjoyable and entertaining to watch hulking men insult each other and then throw each other around in the ring.
Worth Playing
However, I digress. If you like the WWE, this is pretty much the most complete package you can find. There are some glitches, but the tuning of the gameplay, combined with new wrestling features, expansion of staple game modes, and addition of some cool new ones ensures that there's plenty of substance to go with the style. You get so much bang for your buck in this title it's not even funny — don't be afraid to pay full price for it.
Games Master
For wrestling purists, it's possible to escape out of the cage door or to reverse a sleeper attempt 'properly' by stopping your hand from dropping to the mat. And for shameless gawpers, you can dress Stacy Keibler up as a French maid or crack Taijiri in the face with a sledgehammer and dribble over the three (three!) levels of bloodiness available. The commentary's massively improved, too - J.R., the King, Tazz and Michael Cole all have a dozen general chums of dialogue, with more for specific wrestlers, high-risk moves and cheating. Of course, it still gets a bit repetitive in Season mode: you can only hear the King make a crack about Shawn Michaels looking a bit old, ooh, six times before it gets really tedious, but that's to be expected.
Power Unlimited
kortom, ik kom helaas toch weer op de foute mededeling dat SDvR 2006 gemaakt is voor de 'fan van het genre'. En daarbij hoop ik dat wat meer mensen de boel eens op waarde weten in te schatten en dus fan worden.
G4 TV: X-Play
Looking at the list of options and features, WWE Smackdown Versus Raw 2006 seems to have everything. With a better wrestling engine, it would. Even so, it's impossible to resist the range of options on offer, and the stamina element does add something that the series has long been missing.
Très riche et surtout réalisé avec brio, WWE Smackdown! Vs Raw 2006 n'est à n'en pas douter l'un des grands jeux de catch de cette fin d'année, possédant la force furieuse des retransmissions télévisées et un dynamisme probant malgré la corpulence des intervenants. Toutefois, et même si le gameplay reste intéressant, les coups s'avèrent relativement en sous-nombre et certaines phases demeurent particulièrement frustrantes, voire irritantes. En plus de tout cela, on note certains problèmes de collisions qui empêchent le soft de se hisser au panthéon de la PS2. Néanmoins, ce soft vous permettra de passer de longues heures de plaisir entouré de slips rouges. Ce qui est non négligeable.
Eurogamer.net (UK)
But it is starting to spread itself a bit thin. If the SmackDown! series doesn't start making proper innovations instead of these minor cosmetic tweaks year after year, there's every chance we'll get a little bored of it. For now, though, SmackDown! is still as good as wrestling games can get. And probably meant for kids.
Diehard GameFan
It's still Smackdown, and it's still solid. If you like Smackdown games, you'll find enjoyment here, and this is certainly the best game of the series to date. The new features are underdeveloped, and some of the same problems that plague the series still plague SvR 2006, but the core game is still a lot of fun, and definitely worth your time if you're a fan. If you've been avoiding the Smackdown series, though, you probably won't find anything here to convince you to take a second look this time around.

Dangerous Midge Gives Dettori 4th BC Turf Win
Dangerous Midge made sure European jockey Frankie Dettori didn't go home empty handed when he wore down pacesetter Champ Pegasus in deep stretch to win the $2,727,000 Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) (VIDEO) Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs.
Champ Pegasus, ridden by Joel Rosario, finished second. Behkabad, the even-money favorite in the absence of Arc winner Workforce, who was scratched on the morning of the race, finished a no-excuse third with Christophe Lemaire aboard. He was 3 1/4 lengths behind the winner.
Dangerous Midge was fractious in the post parade, running off at one point. But once the gates opened, he was completely professional.
It was a merry-go-round race for most of the trip. Champ Pegasus, breaking from the rail, took command over his six rivals shortly after the outset. The son of Fusaichi Pegasus led the 8-1 shot Dangerous Midge and Behkabad through easy fractions of :50.17 for the first half-mile, six furlongs in 1:15.91 and a mile in 1:40.88, Champ Pegasus opened up a bit on his rivals rounding the final turn and took a two-length advantage into the stretch.

Loftus Family Farm U-Pick Vineyard
Status of the Vineyard – we are now officially CLOSED
The vineyard is now officially closed and I will no longer be putting out the signs or keeping regular hours at the sales area. But, for those who would like to try one more time, I will open this Saturday, Oct. 4th, from 9 am to 1pm (weather permitting). If you can't make Saturday you can call me and we will arrange our schedules to meet at the vineyard.
There are still grapes to be picked, BUT they will be harder to find and it will take longer to fill a bucket, you will be "grape hunting" more than grape picking. The vines are going dormant for the coming winter and at some point all the grapes will be gone. We are at the end of the season.
I want to thank everyone who came out to our farm. We appreciate your business and hope that you had a good time and enjoyed the grapes. We hope to see you again next year.
I tried this last year and it seems to help. I will post a videos on how the vineyard looks at certain times during the season so you can keep an eye on the grapes. Here is the link to the videos:

Greetings from Don and Ermida Loftus. We are a small vineyard north of Gainesville, FL specializing in dark Muscadine grapes and dedicated to U-Pick. Our main fresh fruit grape is the Supreme, a very large, thin skinned, very sweet grape. The other grape we grow, the Ison, is a self pollinating variety that produces a very sweet, slightly smaller berry that ripens early in the season. This grape also pollinates the Supreme vines which are female plants. I'm also adding a new variety of dark Muscadine called "Delicious" and was developed by the University of Florida. I just planted them this year, so we will have to wait several more years before they produce any grapes. I have an article about them Links page.
It turns out that Muscadine grapes have many health benefits and they taste good too. I have listed some of the articles on the Links page. Take a look and you just might want to eat a few more grapes.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and ranking member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) said Friday that they plan to re-introduce the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) next week during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. The bill is aimed at improving information-sharing about cyber threats between government and industry so cyberattacks can be thwarted in real time.
A novel fabrication technique developed by UConn engineering professor Brian Willis could provide the breakthrough technology scientists have been looking for to vastly improve today's solar energy systems.
For years, scientists have studied the potential benefits of a new branch of solar energy technology that relies on incredibly small nanosized antenna arrays that are theoretically capable of harvesting more than 70% of the sun's electromagnetic radiation and simultaneously converting it into usable electric power.
The technology would be a vast improvement over the silicon solar panels in widespread use today. Even the best silicon panels collect only about 20% of available solar radiation, and separate mechanisms are needed to convert the stored energy to usable electricity for the commercial power grid. The panels' limited efficiency and expensive development costs have been two of the biggest barriers to the widespread adoption of solar power as a practical replacement for traditional fossil fuels.
Unfortunately, the stumbling block for nanoantenna solar arrays has always been the inability to produce a rectifier small or fast enough to convert electron flows to usable energy at the speeds of visible (and infrared) light. Researchers at the University of Connecticut have now developed a way to use atomic deposition technology (widely used in the production of microelectronics) to create small, fast rectifiers (or 'rectennas') that should, in theory, convert the high frequency electron flows generated by the nanoantennae into usable electricity.
Could this really be the breakthrough moment that at last allows an alternative-energy source to truly compete with non-renewable sources on all fronts: convenience, availability, efficiency and cost?

Lui by Mazzolari
Potent and animalic, raw and dry, Mazzolari Lui is a rare one. Its robust opening is an aromatic hammer to the head a potent brew. To my nose Lui is strongly centered around patchouli a rich full, dark, even resinous patchouli accord nearing animalic. The patchouli is supported by woods, vetiver, spices, and ambergris, with the ambergris being the dominant of the support group. This particular ambergris is not the sweet, golden version; this one is dry, resinous, and extremely masculine. Others mentioned leather, but I dont get very much leather. Lui is powerful and raw, and I find the musk providing a strong animalism. I even get a sort of fecal note sporadically rippling through the middle accord. The sillage at first is strong but after a while it regulates itself to the point where it might not have as much sillage as I would like. Longevity is no problem in that Lui seems to last forever as a rich, intriguing skin scent. When I first smelled Mazzolari Vetiver it jumped to the top of the list of my favorite vetivers. Now that Ive smelled Mazzolari Lui its déjà vu all over again: Ive found a favorite patchouli.

I've never been a big fan of potato salads, but this one is excellent. I used miracle whip instead of mayonnaise (personal preference) and added about half a teaspoon of sugar, and it turned ou...
too much dressing for the amount of potatoes. i also added more traditional potato salad stuff like eggs, onion, celery, pickle relish. Otherwise it was very good, very dilly.
This potato salad is very good, especially if you like dill. I added a little chopped red onion and a couple of chopped hard-boiled eggs, which made it even better.

Romero Osby RumorsAll NBA Players
Candace Buckner: Roster for upcoming #Pacers rookie/free agent camp. Camp starts Wednesday, then ORL Summer League: Jarell Eddie, Solomon Hill, Mantas Kalnietis, DeVonte Lacy, Trent Lockett, James Nunnally, Jon Octeus, Arinze Onuaku, Romero Osby, Matt Stainbrook, Myles Turner, Christian Watford, Shayne Whittington, Joe Young
Keith Kreiter: Romero Osby headed to the #OrlandoSummerLeague w/the Pacers & weighing options for Vegas- Pacers looking at Ro to play some SF as well-
Michael Scotto: Former 2013 second-round pick Romero Osby will play for the Indiana Pacers in the Orlando Summer League. Osby was drafted by Orlando in 2013
Romero Osby is close to penning a deal with Le Mans, according to sources. The American forward has played 12 games with Maine Red Claws in 2013-2014 averaging 16.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
Michael Scotto: Sources: Orlando Magic will add Romero Osby, Scott Suggs and Cameron Jones to their Summer League team.
Last year, the Red Claws did not expect to keep point guard Shelvin Mack for long and, sure enough, the Atlanta Hawks reached out to him (and Mack is still with Atlanta). This year the player to watch may be 6-foot-8 forward Romero Osby – as in, watch him soon because who knows when an NBA team will scoop him up. "He is very close," Red Claws Coach Mike Taylor said. "If there is a need by an NBA team, I believe he'll be right on their radar."
The Maine Red Claws, presented by Unum, today announced the team has acquired rookie Romero Osby from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in exchange for the rights to Terrance Henry, 10th overall pick in this year's D-League Draft, and the rights to Xavier Silas. Osby, who was selected by the Orlando Magic in the 2nd round (51st overall) of the 2013 NBA Draft, is coming off his senior season at the University of Oklahoma, where the 6-8 forward averaged 16.0 points (shooting .525 from the field and .529 from three-point range), 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while being named the University of Oklahoma's Men's Basketball team MVP and earning All-Big 12 1st Team honors.
Steve Kyler: Word is Romero Osby (@RoeOsby24) will head to the NBDL's Maine Red Claws with the possibility of a call-up to Boston. C's very high on Roe.
With the Boston Celtics as the leading candidate to acquire his rights, Romero Osby is finalizing a deal to sign in the NBA D-League, league sources told RealGM. Osby was a final cut of the Orlando Magic, who selected the rugged, active forward with the No. 51 pick in the NBA draft. Since Osby's release in training camp, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs and Brooklyn Nets have also expressed interest in him, sources said. Fort Wayne currently owns rights to Osby, but the Celtics' affiliate – the Maine Red Claws – are working to acquire the 23-year-old. The Celtics have one roster spot open and could call up Osby at a point that is flexible on the team's salary situation.
The Orlando Magic have waived center Mickell Gladness, guard Manny Harris, forward Kris Joseph and forward Romero Osby, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today. The roster now stands at 15 players.
21 Oct 13
10 Oct 13
The Magic will bring second-round pick Romero Osby to training camp along with free agents Solomon Jones, Michael Eric, Manny Harris and Kris Joseph, according to a source close to the team. The Magic are working on coming to terms with Osby, the former Oklahoma forward whom the club selected 51st in the second round.
Brian Schmitz: The Magic are bringing 2nd-round pick Romero Osby to camp. Still negotiating his contract.
Steve Kyler: Want to clear up something out there… Orlando Magic did issue the required tender offer to Romero Osby. They hold his rights.
The Orlando Magic will soon lose the rights to Romero Osby, their second-round pick from the 2013 NBA Draft, unless they offer him the required tender for second-round picks. According to Larry Coon's NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement FAQ page, this tender "is a one-year contract offer teams must submit to retain their rights to the player." Second-round picks must sign their tenders by September 6th, Coon says, in order to avoid becoming free agents.
The Magic are working on a buyout agreement with Hedo Turkoglu, plan on giving second-round pick Romero Osby a chance to make the team and likely will invite as many as four more players to their training camp, according to a source close to the club. As expected, Turkoglu and the team have been trying to arrange a buyout with the 13-year veteran small forward. He does not figure into the team's rebuilding plans at age 34. Only half of his $12 million salary for next season — the last year of his contract — is guaranteed.
Evan Dunlap: Per @Steve Kyler, Romero Osby is "open" to playing overseas. Check his timeline for more.
The Orlando Magic announced Monday their roster for the 2013 Orlando Pro Summer League, which runs from July 7th through July 12th at the team's practice court in Amway Center. The event is closed to the public. Six of the Magic's players on the Summer League roster played for the big-league club in 2012/13. Victor Oladipo and Romero Osby, Orlando's picks in the 2013 NBA Draft, join those six players to form a fairly stacked squad.
Josh Robbins: As I've reported before, Tobias H, Moe H, Doron Lamb, Andrew Nicholson, Kyle O'Q and 2 draft picks also will play in SL.
The Indiana Pacers will hold their fourth workouts open to the media with prospects for the 2013 NBA Draft on Tuesday, June 18 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Prospects will work out in front of team officials and conduct interviews with the media beginning at 2:30 PM. Players scheduled to workout for the Pacers on Tuesday are Kenny Kadji (Miami, Florida); Trevor Mbakwe (Minnesota); Romero Osby (Oklahoma); Christian Watford (Indiana)) The list of players is subject to change.
The Washington Wizards will conduct a pre-draft workout tomorrow – Tuesday, June 4th – at 10:30 am at Verizon Center. The following players are currently scheduled to participate in Tuesday's workout: Malcolm Armstead, Demetrius Conger, Ramon Galloway, Jamelle Hagins, Romero Osby, Tray Woodall
Throughout the week, the Wizards will also have Louisville 6-1 senior point guard Peyton Siva (10 points, 5.7 assists), Bucknell 6-11 senior center Mike Muscala (18.9 points, 11.3 rebounds), Indiana senior forward Christian Watford (12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds), Kentucky freshman point 6-1 guard Archie Goodwin (14.1 points, 4.6 rebounds), Memphis 6-7 sophomore guard Adonis Thomas (11.7 points, 4.5 rebounds), Oklahoma 6-8 senior forward Romero Osby (16 points, seven rebounds), Iowa State 6-7 senior forward Will Clyburn (14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds), Temple 6-4 guard Khalif Wyatt (20.5 points, four assists) and Syracuse senior forward James Southerland (13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds).

Tennessee governor names Holly Kirby of Memphis to state high court
NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam has appointed Holly M. Kirby of Memphis to the Tennessee Supreme Court, effective next Sept. 1 when she will succeed Justice Janice M. Holder, a Memphian who will retire from the high court when her term expires at that time.
Kirby, 57, has served as a judge on Tennessee Court of Appeals' Western Section since 1995. She was the first woman to serve on that court and has authored more than 1,000 opinions on appeals from trial courts across the state.
"We are fortunate to have someone with Judge Kirby's depth of experience to serve on the Tennessee Supreme Court," Haslam said Tuesday afternoon. "Her impressive record of service will benefit Tennesseans in this position, and I am pleased to announce her appointment."
Prior to her appointment to the Court of Appeals by former governor Don Sundquist, Kirby was a partner at the Memphis law firm Burch, Porter & Johnson.
"I thank Governor Haslam for this great privilege," Kirby said in a statement issued through the governor's office. "It is a high honor and an awesome responsibility to serve on the Tennessee Supreme Court. I will do my utmost every day to earn the confidence the Governor has placed in me and to serve the citizens of our great state."
Kirby has served on the Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct since 2012. She served on the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary from 1998-2012 and on the Tennessee Judicial Conference since 1995. She also served on the Council of State Governments inter-branch committee in 2013, the Tennessee Appellate Court Nomination Commission from 1989-94 and was a court-appointed special advocate from 1992-94.
The Memphis native graduated from Central High School in Columbia, Tenn. She earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Memphis in 1979, graduating magna cum laude and first in her graduating class at the College of Engineering. She graduated from the U of M Law School in 1982, third in a class of 140. She worked as judicial law clerk to Judge Harry Wellford on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Kirby joined Burch, Porter & Johnson in 1983, where she specialized in the defense of businesses in employment litigation. She became a partner in 1990. She was appointed assistant Shelby County attorney for employment disputes by Mayor Jim Rout in 1994-95.
Kirby was an advisory board member of the Ronald McDonald House 2006-07; a board member of the Community Legal Center 2002-03; member of the University of Memphis Law Alumni Board 2002-03; and served on the Commission on Missing and Exploited Children 1993-94.
She and her family are members of the Idlewild Presbyterian Church.
Kirby was one of three nominees for the state Supreme Court position sent to the governor last month by the Governor's Commission on Judicial Appointments, along with Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Christopher B. Craft, 62, and John Brook Lathram, 66, a partner in the Memphis law office of Bass, Berry & Sims.
Because the appointment will be effective after next August's statewide judicial elections, Kirby will serve for two years and then appear on the 2016 statewide ballot for "yes" or "no" judicial retention elections for the remaining six years of the next judicial term.
Nashville lawyer John Jay Hooker has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of appointment of appellate court judges. That case is still pending. Meanwhile, Tennessee voters will consider a state constitutional amendment on the November 2014 ballot to remove a provision in the Tennessee Constitution that says judges, including those on the appellate courts, shall be elected, and replace it with gubernatorial appointment of appellate judge followed by retention elections.
