Suns' Plan B if Hornets match offer sheet
July 12, 2012: Suns' options after Eric Gordon
As team president of basketball operations Lon Babby mentioned Wednesday, "We're not sitting on our hands hoping."
The Suns would like nothing more than to see the Hornets not match the offer sheet signed by Eric Gordon, allowing him to relocate to Phoenix. The reality, however, is that by Saturday---if not sooner, Gordon will once again have a New Orleans address.
"We have a big expression in our office that says 'hope is not a plan,;" continued Babby.
"We're hoping that they don't match. We're hoping that he comes to Phoenix. That's again, what he wants. We hope his wishes our accommodated. But if they decide to match, we'll move on and react accordingly."
Plan B for the Suns includes OJ Mayo, who is scheduled for a visit Friday. Mayo averaged 12.6 points per game in his fourth season in Memphis. He's a career 37.5% 3-point shooter.
Other free agent options at shooting guard:
Shannon Brown
Randy Foye
Courtney Lee
Jodie Meeks
Brown is the more familiar name having scored a career- high 11 points per game in his first season as a Sun.
But the other names are intriguing too.
Foye is a six-year veteran, Lee spent the last two years in Houston where he was teammates with soon-to-be Sun Goran Dragic and Meeks became the odd man out in Philadelphia after the Sixers signed Nick Young and traded for Dorell Wright.
All are above average shooters from beyond the arc.
Suns free agent Grant Hill was spotted Thursday working out at US Airways Center. He told NBA TV recently he has "a desire to play" but has yet to commit to returning for what would be a 19th NBA season.
The Suns continue to look at growing the player development side of their basketball operations. Former player Ira Newble is helping out with the club's summer league team and may become a permanent addition.
Newble played eight years in the NBA with stops in San Antonio, Atlanta, Cleveland, Seattle and the Los Angeles Lakers. He most recently was an assistant coach with the Canton Charge, the Cavaliers-owned team in the NBA D- League.

Full-day kindergarten could cost Loudoun more than $50 million
Running a full-day kindergarten program for Loudoun County's student won't come cheap, school system officials told the School Board Tuesday night.
The schools would expect to spend about $50,643,000 in today's market conditions to build 105 different classrooms, according to Deputy Superintendent Sharon Ackerman.
The costs would be considerably less if the additions are built through modular construction, or in a factory setting, with a price tag of $21,549,000.
Hiring the necessary 119 kindergarten teachers and 121 kindergarten assistants to accommodate the program would cost the county another estimated $12,555,000.
The school system could choose to hire additional physical education, art and music teachers for another estimated $2,130,000.
The numbers are higher than last year's estimate, according to Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Jeffery Platenberg, because they used this year's first-grade enrollment numbers.
Ackerman said the students who are struggling in the classroom are the ones get the most benefit from the program.
"The notion of universal kindergarten for students who have lots of resources at home, have done lots of preschool, the gains aren't dramatic," Ackerman said.
School Board member Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin), said she thought the community should be consulted before anymore steps are taken.
"I think we need to explore, from an operational standpoint, where our communities feel," Bergel said.
School Board member Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run) said he didn't support the idea of full-day kindergarten because academic studies showed little benefit.
The presentation Tuesday night was strictly informational, no further action or votes are planned by the Board.
I've never seen so many superintendents…. Perhaps cutting back on a few might be a start in the right direction. Also, just curious if Loudoun would need an additional 119 kindergarten teachers why would they need 121 assistants? And the $50 million is only for expanding the classrooms, not paying for the teachers(which would become an every year expense).
"Use the Seattle model and charge the parents who want their children in full day kindergarter $272.00 a month for 10 months!"
I agree. You can't find day care for $272.00 a month. But why should the taxpayers subsidize someone else's day care (because that's essentially what full-time kindergarten is)?
There are plenty of private lesson options for parents who want their kids to do more.
Loudoun doesn't have another $50M/year to spend on something that studies show provides little benefit anyway.
This suggestion couldn't come at a worse time, fiscally speaking.
Agree…worked that way in Colorado, too. We paid for the extra half-day of K for our child. Honestly, it didn't make much difference to him…it was just more busy work.
Use the Seattle model and charge the parents who want their children in full day kindergarter $272.00 a month for 10 months!

Dead set on Kennedy?
Filed: Wednesday, 19th November 2003
By: Graeme Howlett
West Ham are being linked with a move for young Swedish winger Kennedy Bakircioglü, according to reports emerging from Sweden today.
Swedish radio reported this morning that Bakircioglü - a Swede of Turkish descent who currently plays for Hammarby - was in London today talking to the Hammers about a possible move. The young Swede revealed that he was contacted by West Ham a few days earlier and asked to fly to London in order to discuss a possible move.
KUMB's Scandinavian correspondent Morten revealed:
"To me, this is great news. I've seen Kennedy several times in the Swedish Premier league and he has impressed me very much as a tricky, fast winger, with excellent technique and a supplier of good crosses.
" He is exactly the kind of player we need at the moment."
Kennedy Bakircioglü: fact file
Born: 2nd November 1980
Height: 1.81m
Honours (under-21): 14 appearances
Honours (full): capped 4 times for Sweden

We carry out domestic and industrial / commercial built up felt roofing. As the result of your enquiry our Contracts Manager will arrange a mutually convenient time to inspect your roof. In most cases he will know whether your roof needs complete stripping, re-decking and felting or whether felting only will suffice.

We use torch-on felt and offer a one layer system which carries a ten year labour and materials guarantee and a two layer torch-on felt system which carries a fifteen year labour and materials guarantee.
Of course there are all sorts of variations to our roofing systems such as using insulation when required. Our Contracts Manager will be happy to discuss your requirements in accordance with any construction regulations and any budgets where realistic.

The Department of Campus Recreation serves as a vital and integral part of student life on campus. The mission of the department is to provide a broad spectrum of sports, recreation and leisure activities for students, staff and faculty, as well as members of the local community. The primary direction is to provide services and programs that stimulate growth, development and retention of students in a contemporary and safe environment that develops fitness and wellness, social interaction and leadership opportunities. The Department seeks to promote healthy lifestyles and lifelong learning through the highest quality programs in the areas of recreation and wellness.
The Intramural Sports Program provides all students with an opportunity to participate in organized sporting events and take part in various leisure activities. This participation is governed only by the students time and interest. In addition to providing activities, equipment and facilities for students, the program also provides the same amenities for faculty and staff members. Ability is not important; all a person needs is an interest in the activity and the desire to have fun participating.
It is important to recognize that an Intramural Sports program must be as diverse as the people it is designed to serve; consequently, the overall Intramural Sports Program is designed across abroad spectrum of activities including basic instructional clinics, highly competitive sporting events and leisure-based activities.
The underlying philosophy of each program is essentially the same: to fully and effectively accommodate the needs and interests of the student body, the university and the larger community in which it resides. Consistent with the aims and goals of the Division of Student Affairs, our Intramural Sports Program will:
· Enhance campus global awareness and complement the international perspective of the campus and local community.
· Coordinate activities that enhance campus awareness of interdisciplinary and integrative studies and their importance to the life of the campus and local community.
· Promote civic engagement and service-learning initiatives in the local and global communities for a mutual, positive benefit.
· Remain centralized around the values of sportsmanship and fair play and an all-inclusive environment.
Through participation, individuals will have an opportunity to develop an appreciation of the essential use of leisure time and a wholesome attitude toward sports, physical activity and fair play.
1. Provide a wide variety of easily accessible extracurricular activities aimed to help a diverse student body have fun in a safe environment, live a healthy lifestyle through physical and social activities, and relive stress.
2. Organize and structure competitive sporting activities for a diverse student body that are consistent with the standards and expectations of the national governing body presiding over such activity.
3. Provide a sustainable intramural sports program focused on increasing student leadership, collaboration, fair play and volunteerism.
4. Organize and structure recreational sporting activities for a diverse student body that aim to promote fun, fair play and an overall inclusive campus culture.
5. Organize awards and recognition events for participants to celebrate their unique abilities and accomplishments with their teammates and peers.
6. Offer skill development workshops and clinics and sports officials associations to assist students in developing a thorough understanding of a particular activity.
There is the possibility or existence of risk of injury while using or participating in all of the university recreational facilities and programs. By being a participant of Western New Mexico University Campus Recreation and intramural, you yourself, your heirs, legal representatives, assigns, and parent or legal guardian of a minor, assume all risks associated with all university recreational activities. As a participant, you release and discharge the State of New Mexico, Western New Mexico University, and their officers, employees, agents, representatives and/or Campus Recreation and Intramurals from all liability for any loss, damage, or claim on account of property damage, death or bodily injury to you and others caused by the act or failure to act of the Western New Mexico University officers, employees, student workers, volunteers or spectators.
Participant Insurance
Neither Campus Recreation nor Western New Mexico University carries medical insurance that covers participants in the intramural sports programs. Additionally, you certify that you have adequate health insurance to cover any injury, damage or death that can be caused while participating or you agree to cover the cost for all medical and/or rescue expense, whether or not authorized by you, in the event of accident or illness. By participating and signing the university waiver you have read and understand the waiver release and assumption of risk in this manual and you do agree, and solely committed with all above statements and waivers.
Injury/Accident Notification
In the case of an injury or accident during a scheduled contest, or any other potential medical problem, participants should notify an on-duty Campus Recreation staff member as soon as possible. The staff members on site will provide initial emergency care, such as the provision of bandages, ice, or immobilization, to any participant injured during their contest and will determine if further medical assistance and/or the summoning of Campus Police is required. It is vital that all other participants in the general area follow the direction of the onsite Campus Recreation staff member in the event of an injury. All Campus Recreation staff on site will be certified in first aid. Only if a person possesses skills and certifications above and beyond those obtained by the onsite staff member should they take the lead in providing health care to the victim.
Blood Prevention Rule
In an effort to maintain a safe playing area, all participants are to adhere to the following Blood Prevention Rule:
Any player who is bleeding must be substituted for until the bleeding stops. Only an intramural staff member or game official has the authority to remove a player or allow them entry back into the game. All equipment and/or areas of play contaminated by blood must be thoroughly cleaned before play can resume. This is the responsibility of the on-site staff.
If by removing the player who is bleeding, the team falls below the minimum number necessary to play (sport specific), the following will apply:
The game clock will stop and a maximum of five (5) minutes will be allowed for the player to stop the bleeding. Either a Campus Recreation staff member or game official must approve the player to re-enter. If the bleeding has not stopped within the allotted five (5) minutes the team will forfeit the game. THE ALLOWANCE IS ONLY FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE BLEEDING WHEN THE TEAM CANNOT CONTINUE TO PLAY WITHOUT THEM. In all supervised activities, a Campus Recreation staff member will be available to assist a bleeding player and determine whether the individual may resume play and whether or not emergency medical personnel (Campus Police) need to be summoned for assistance.

In all supervised activities, a Campus Recreation staff member will be available to assist a bleeding player and determine whether the individual may resume play and whether or not emergency medical personnel (Campus Police) need to be summoned for assistance.
In all indoor sports, players must wear athletic type shoes that cover the foot completely. Sandals, boots, and open toe shoes are NOT allowed. For outside sports, cleats are limited to studs or projections that do not exceed 1⁄2 inch in length and are made with nonabrasive rubber or rubber-type synthetic material that does not chip or develop a cutting edge. Certain other restrictions may apply. Check the rules for the sport you are participating.
Team Uniforms and Equipment
Matching colored team shirts and shorts will be required in all team sports. The sport of soccer requires each goalie to have a different color shirt than his/her teammates and opponents. One-digit or two-digit numbers are required in basketball and must be at least 3" tall. Teams will have the opportunity to select a team color during the schedule selection process for each sport. The team is required to have all players wear the same shade of color to every game. Before each game, the Head official or supervisor, will determine if a conflict exists regarding uniform colors. The team in violation of the policy will be asked to wear their alternate uniform. In the event they do not have an alternate uniform and cannot field the minimum number of players for that sport, that team will forfeit. If two teams are wearing the same uniform color, a coin flip will determine which team wears the alternate uniform. If neither team has their alternate jerseys, thus causing a game to not be played, both teams will forfeit their contest.
C-REC recognizes that there are cases in which uniform colors will not match exactly. We are striving to ensure that participants are able to play while maintaining the integrity of the game. The supervisor has the discretion to allow a participant to play when their uniform shade does not exactly match their teammates. For example, if Team A is wearing black shirts and Team B is wearing orange shirts, the supervisor may allow a player from Team B to wear a shirt that is red, so long as both the officials and supervisor feels there will be no confusion among staff or participants. Jeans, non-athletic shorts or pants, open toe shoes, non-athletic shoes, and metal cleats are not allowed.
Jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, ankle bracelets, earrings, rubber bands, etc.) are prohibited. Placing tape or Band-Aids over jewelry will not be allowed. Participants will be required to remove any Band-Aids, tape or head/sweat bands which in the opinion of the staff may be covering a piece of jewelry. Medical alert bracelets must be taped with proper information visible.
All WNMU students, part-time students, graduate students, faculty, staff members and Alumni members, who have valid ID are eligible to participate in Campus Recreation activities provided that the individual is not under disciplinary probation with the university or involved in the intramural sport similar to their intercollegiate sport of that season. Campus Recreation is committed to promoting diversity throughout its programs. As a result, discrimination shall not be made on any basis such as gender, race, color, creed, age, disability, or national origin.
Alumni Members
Only Alumni Association members can participate in intramurals.
Intercollegiate Athlete
Members of intercollegiate teams are ineligible to participate on an intramural team in their intercollegiate sport for the season calendar year unless written permission is given to C-REC from their coach. Furthermore, written permission from their coach is also required for an intercollegiate athlete who wishes to participate in an intramural sport other than their own intercollegiate sport. If a participant is participating in the same sport as they do as an intercollegiate athlete, then their intramural team will be restricted to only one other current/former intercollegiate athlete, red shirt athlete or professional athlete. An intercollegiate team member is an individual who
participates in an intercollegiate contest, attends regular practices for a period of two weeks or longer, or appears on the team's official roster.
Red Shirt Athlete
Individuals classified as red shirts, or those training with a varsity team shall be treated as an intercollegiate team member. A Red Shirt Athlete is defined as anyone who is delaying their participation in a particular collegiate sport in order to lengthen their eligibility in future academic years. A red shirt athlete or player working out with a team for more than two weeks will be considered an intercollegiate athlete for the entire season. Any team in the Recreational division of an intramural contest that has a red shirt athlete is limited to one other current/former intercollegiate athlete, sport club member or professional athlete.
Former Intercollegiate Athlete
Former intercollegiate team members are collegiate athletes who have not been on the official roster of a collegiate team for an entire academic. They may participate in the C-REC program of their former intercollegiate sport. Any team of an intramural contest that has a former intercollegiate athlete is limited to one other current intercollegiate athlete, red shirt athlete, or professional athlete.
Professional Athlete
Professional athletes or former professional athletes are eligible to participate in C-REC programs but the team will be limited to only one current/former professional athlete, regardless of how many years it has been since they last played professionally. Any teams having a professional athlete are limited to one former/current intercollegiate athlete, red shirt athlete or sport club member.
Note:There can only be two athletes together per team. In the case when there is a team sport that require less than five individuals to normally play the game only one athletes can play on a team.
The Intramural Sports Staff does not assume the responsibility for checking upon the eligibility of individuals participating, this is the team captains responsibility. Any cases of ineligibility called to the staffs attention will be dealt with according to Campus Recreation regulations.
A valid WNMU identification card must be presented at the beginning of every Intramural contest before participating. If an individual that is printed on the roster has lost or forgotten their ID card, they may present a valid, state issued, picture ID at the roster sign up table. A participant only gets the one ID forgiveness; after the one forgiveness participants will not be able to play again until he or she presents a valid WNMU ID card.
Team and Player Registration forms are available in the C-REC Department. Four steps must be completed in order to register your team: 1) complete a registration form and submit this form to C-REC front desk, 2) Create a roster 3) log-in to the IM League online system and register the team. 3) attend a General Managers meeting, 4) attend a sports meeting for players who are not GMs, and 4). After these four steps are completed the team or individual is ready for participation
Roster Management
Players must clearly register their name, student ID numbers, telephone numbers and at least two emergency contact numbers with names and relationship to participants. General Managers are responsible for turning in the appropriate information before the first schedule game. The roster must be turned in 15 minutes before the teams first game. Added roster members must complete registration and have the roster information completed before the roster deadline. GENERAL MANAGERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING ALL PARTICIPANTS ON THEIR ROSTER ARE ELIGIBILE.
Free Agents
Individuals who are not on a team are considered free agents. Any team can select a free agent. If the free agent is not selected on a team, the Intramural staff has the authority to place the free agents on team that is deemed appropriate.
General Managers
The managers are very important to the success of the team. The General Manager is a vital link between the C-REC Intramurals and the students of their team. This person should be a good communicator, organized, responsible and respected among his or her peers. Each team or organization must have a General Manager. The method by which this person is chosen is left entirely up to the organization.
Responsibilities include:
a. Organize team rosters and enter them into competition before the deadline dates.
b. Encourage participation in all intramural activities.
c. Check eligibility of all players.
d. Notify teams and players of date, time, and place of scheduled events.
e. Make sure team attends schedule games and never forfeits a game
f. Attend all mandatory scheduled managers meetings; be held accountable for all information and sport rules discussed at the meetings. Managers must attend all meetings, if not the team is ineligible to play.
h. Accept responsibility for the conduct of team members before, during and after all intramural programs.
League Play
Leagues will be formed according to division. Divisions are formed by the Intramural league staff. We offer students the opportunity to stick with a specific team for multiple weeks in an effort to accumulate as many wins as possible prior to being placed in a playoff tournament with other teams from the same league. Depending on the size of the league, team or other activity play shall be conducted with a single or double round robin league play. Leagues normally run five to eight weeks long and offer students the opportunity to receive recognition as the league champions, outstanding sportsmanship ratings and, depending on the league, placement on the All-Star team at the end of the league (See event specific details on all-star voting.) Play-offs will be conducted with a single game elimination. All teams or individuals shall advance to the play-offs in their respective divisions. Each team will be put into brackets according to their division and seed. Teams or individuals will be ranked according to winning percentage, sportsmanship rating, and points allowed. Only the championship team will receive awards.
Tournament Play
Individuals and teams shall draw from a hat. After the drawing each team will be placed in the bracket of the division and seed they picked. All games will be conducted with a single game elimination. The championship game will be played between the last two teams or individuals. C-REC may find it necessary to combine divisions or cancel the tournament in instances where there are too few entries in a particular division.
Team Sports
Basketball, capture the flag, dodge ball, flag football, kickball, Ultimate Frisbee, slow pitch softball, soccer, and volleyball.
Individual & Dual Sports
Beach volleyball, racquetball and tennis.
Nonphysical Activities
Chess, gaming night, online intramurals, spades.
Special Events
5k Run, C-REC Golf, Olympic Game Day, Tug of War (Great Race) Wednesday Night Excite Night, Halloween Night.
C-REC leagues abide by National Intramural Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA) rules and regulations. NIRSA promotes friendly competition between college campuses across the nation and holds regional and national tournaments in various sports throughout the year. Through these leagues, our campus hopes to send either the league champion and/or an all-star team to one of these regional NIRSA tournaments in the very near future.
At the conclusion of a league, there will be an All-Star team selected. The team will consist of players from all levels and divisions (when applicable) and will be chosen with input from captains, officials and intramural staff. Skills, impact, attitude, and sportsmanlike conduct will be taken into account when selecting the team(s).
If you have any questions or would like to nominate an individual for the All-Star team, please contact the Campus Recreation at (575) 538-6139.
The Intramural Advisory Council (IAC)
The C-REC office recognizes the importance of student leadership that contributes greatly to an excellent operating intramural program. The IAC is composed of students with leadership abilities and with an interest in sports. These students represent the different facets of campus life, i.e. housing, sorority, fraternity, independent, nursing program students, and graduate students. The Council is a voluntary group, which act as a consulting body to the Intramural Supervisor. The Council also acts as a disciplinary board for the Intramural sport programs, providing the fundamental principle of "due process" for all participants. It is the goal of the Intramural Advisory Council to allow student input and ideas so the Campus Recreation Department may better serve the campus community.
Intramural Advisory Council Officers positions:
Vice President
Public Relations
If teams are interested in representing WNMU at various State/Regional/National competitions they must contact the C-REC staff at least 2 weeks prior to the selected tournament. If C-REC receives interest from more teams than we can support at the tournament, team players will be drafted by the supervisor. All teams will be evaluated on the following criteria: Sportsmanship, Current record, and Prior extramural experience.
Possible Tournaments (check websites for locations and fees):

Sportsmanship Rating System
The sportsmanship rating system is intended to be an objective scale by which teams attitudes and behavior can be assessed throughout the regular season and playoffs. Behavior before, during, and after a contest will be included in this rating. This rating will influence playoff seeding and extramural eligibility. The General Manager is responsible for educating and informing all players and spectators affiliated with his/her team about the system.
The sportsmanship of each team in each contest shall be rated by the officials and/or scorekeepers. The authority of the C-REC staff exists before, during and after a contest. C-REC staff may amend a rating at any time for inappropriate conduct, use of ineligible player, use of a suspended player, and/or inaccuracy in reporting.
NOTE: The C-REC staff have been instructed not to comment to teams about ratings. Teams may view their ratings online the following day and contact the Intramural Office with any questions.
4 (Normal Game) -Players were signed in early and prepared to play at game time. Players and/or spectators were courteous, respectful, and encouraging to other participants and officials.
3 (Some problems) -Players and/or spectators were courteous and respectful but had a few minor problems or incidents which may or may not merit a warning from the C-REC staff.
2 (Difficulty) -Players and/or spectators were not courteous or respectful and had a number of problems or incidents which may or may not merit a penalty. Managers exhibits minor control over his/herself and his/her teammates and spectators. Teams receiving at least one technical foul, unsportsmanlikepenalty, or a yellow card should receive no higher than a 2. A team fails to appear for a contest (non-appearance forfeit).
1 (Harassment) -Team is constantly commenting to the officials and/or opponents. Manager exhibits little or no control over teammates or spectators. Majority of the individuals on the team were disrespectful of opponents and/or C-REC staff on a regular basis. Teams receiving multiple unsportsmanlike (technical foul, yellow card, etc) penalties or an ejection should receive no higher than a 1.
0 (Unacceptable) -Team is completely uncooperative and out of control before, during or after a contest. General Manager exhibits poor or no control over self, team, and/or spectators. A team receiving three unsportsmanlike (technical foul, yellow card, etc) penalties should receive no higher than a 0 and the game terminated immediately. A team forfeits (any reason other than non-appearance). If a team receives more than one unacceptable rating they will be removed from the league.
Players shall not commit acts of unsportsmanlike conduct. In the event anyone acts in an unsportsmanlike manner before, during, or after an Intramural contest, the official(s) and supervisors at the game site have the complete authority to take action, as they deem necessary in order to keep the game in control.
Unsportsmanlike conduct includes, but not limited to: arguments with officials and staff by any player, coach, manager, or spectator; flagrant foul, fighting, etc., before, during or after a contest. No player, coach, or team shall:
· Use foul or derogatory language, threaten, or verbally abuse any other participant or C-REC employee before, during, or after a game
· Participate in a game for which he/she is ineligible
· Argue with or berate the game official(s).
· Intentionally strike, push, trip, or flagrantly foul another player.
· Mistreat the facility, equipment, or supplies of C-REC.
All unsportsmanlike penalties, technical fouls, yellow cards and unsportsmanlike fouls/acts will be recorded. The accumulation of two such fouls/acts in either a regular season or playoff game will result in an automatic ejection from the contest.
Tobacco, Alcohol, and other Drug Policy
There is a zero tolerance for fighting, Individuals fighting on property will be suspended a minimum of one (1) semester from all C-REC facilities & programs. Actual suspension will be based on the nature of the fight. Depending on the severity of the fight an individual may lose C-REC privileges for life.
C-REC reserves the right to eject any individual, team or spectator who interrupts the flow of a game in any manner. Players do not have to accumulate the required number of infractions to be ejected by an intramural sports official, supervisor or professional/administrative staff. Players may be ejected before, during, or after any contest and ejections can be made by any official on the contest or any intramural supervisors or professional/administrative staff. The jurisdiction of the intramural staff begins when the participant/spectator enters the C-REC facility and ends when the involved persons leave the facility in which the contest is being held and the visual confines of the playing area. Any ejected player(s) must leave the playing area and facility immediately. If the player refuses to leave within a reasonable time, the game will be defaulted. Managers must assist intramural staff with retrieving the ejected participant's identification. Ejected players are ineligible to participate in any C-REC activity or access any C-REC facility until they meet with the Intramurals supervisor. The player must email or call the C-REC Office to schedule an appointment and seek reinstatement.
Be advised that any suspension will begin when the meeting with the C-REC staff occurs, not at the time of the ejection/altercation. It is the responsibility of the ejected participant to set up a meeting time with the C-REC Office. Until this meeting takes place, the offending participant is considered an ineligible player and is not allowed to participate in any C-REC activity or access any C-REC facility. This includes games that he/she may have in other sports or divisions, the same night as the ejection.
Only protests based on questions of player eligibility and rule interpretation (when misinterpretation affects the outcome of the game) will be accepted. Protests which challenge the accuracy of a judgment call made by the officials or intramural supervisors will not be accepted. The team manager must make any protest involving rule interpretation to the Intramural Office prior to the continuation of play. Once a situation has passed it is no longer subject to change or protest. Any team protesting eligibility must furnish the player(s) in question's full name. During the regular season, any team found to be using an ineligible player will default all games which that individual played and be subject to removal from the league. All regular season protests must be filed before the final record deadline, which is 4:00 p.m. of the day following the end of the regular season. In the playoffs, if an eligibility protest is found valid, the protesting team advances, but the previous rounds remain the same. During the playoffs, any team protesting the eligibility of a player must do so by noon (12 p.m.) of the next business day to allow the intramural staff adequate time to determine the validity of the protest. If their next playoff game is that same day, the protest must be turned in immediately following the protested game. Teams may be randomly screened for ineligible players by the intramural staff without a protest being filed. In cases where a team chooses to protest eligibility at any point after a championship contest and the protest is upheld, the specific league will not declare a champion, no championship game will be rescheduled and no t-shirts will be awarded.
No pets are allowed at any C-REC facility. People bringing animals such as dogs or any other animal will be asked to remove them immediately from the premises. Repeat offenders will be cited and could face more severe punishment.
1. If a team is unable to attend a scheduled contest but desires to play the game at another time or date, it may be possible to reschedule. Requests for rescheduling must be received at least two working days in advance of the originally scheduled time of contest. In elimination tournaments, postponed contests must be rescheduled within a period of time that will not delay progress in the tournament itself. In the tournament setting both teams must agree with the rescheduled time.
2. A request will be granted only if all teams involved agree to reschedule their game times. It will be the responsibility of the requesting team to contact the other teams. Teams that postpone games or agree to forfeit without notifying the Recreational Sports Office could lose their eligibility.
3. All contests shall be played on the date at the time scheduled. Teams not ready to play at game time will be charged with a forfeit, subject to the discretion of the officials, supervisor, and/or staff. Games lost by forfeit will not be rescheduled for any reason.
a. If a team leaves before the forfeit is duly noted by an official or supervisor, then both teams will be charged with a forfeit.
b. The team that is present at a forfeit must have a full complement of players allowed for that sport or both teams will be charged with a forfeit.
c. In the event one team is short the required number of players for that sport, the other team manager can agree to play the game. It then becomes a legal game and cannot be protested on the grounds that an illegal team was fielded.
4. In the event both teams and the C-REC intramurals staff have agreed to play the game after the scheduled starting time has elapsed, no protest which is based on the starting time will be considered.
Games that are cancelled due to poor weather or field conditions will be rescheduled at the earliest possible time. Managers are urged to maintain contact with the C-REC office in order to find out of the new game time. If a game is unable to be rescheduled, both teams involved will receive a tie and a 4 sportsmanship points. C-REC Leagues and Tournaments staff will attempt to reschedule all cancelled games, but no guarantees can be made. The C-REC office can be called for current game status and/or field conditions. The C-REC intramural office will call, email, and text each managers to give them notice of cancellation. Managers are required to inform players of their teams about the cancellation.

Big plans – not big planes – are in the works for the old north-south runway at the Albuquerque Sunport; plans that include a business park and retail space.
It's old 17-35, the runway that the Sunport officially de-commissioned last year. Commercial planes quit using it long before that. It's not just the runway, but the taxiways and all of the ground around it – about 80 acres in all. It's beautifully leveled land with great runway access. Sunport planners are hoping to bring in aviation businesses.
"Whether it be manufacturing, whether it be suppliers, maintenance and repair organizations, these types of activities are absolutely perfect for this site,' said Sunport associate director Jack Scherer.
At the north end of the old runway is Gibson Boulevard, a major arterial with heavy traffic.
"We do have access to Gibson Boulevard here and it would make a potential area for some retail – a convenience store, a gas station, something like that," said Sunport spokesperson Dan Jiron.
The project is very much in the drawing-board stages right now. It may take a few years to fully develop, but it's starting now.

You're Next
This film that was apparently made in 2011 but will not see regular release till about a month from now has been a festival darling. It's easy to see why because it is a lot of fun. The set up is not all that original as we see the Davison family coming under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back. The film tries to take slashers into a realistic setting and manages to for a good deal of the film. A couple of characters are playing it too over t he top from the get go but the rest of the cast do well enough. It reminds me in some ways of the 2008 film The Strangers but it plays out remarkably different and is much better. In the end you have a familiar but fun slasheresque film that may be the best of its kind in recent decades.
I am looking forward to checking this out. Seems to have a strangers/Them(Ils) vibe to it.
I wanna see this one too. It looks fun.
That's high praise for only a 7/10. I really enjoyed it myself. I would grade it closer to an 8.
Your image kind of died. The link.
73% in RottenTomatoes (123 reviews)? There's a chance it's a bit good at least, no?
When I blasted this movie because of its trailer, I was assuming it was a straight-forward "thriller" horror film... Maybe I have to give it a chance after all.
Maybe it is just me but I really don't get all the hype surrounding this film because I thought it was just ok. If anything this is Adam Wingard's best film to date, but that is not saying too much. Homesick was barely watchable and cringe worthy throughout, A Horrible Way To Die was descent but had an incredibly absurd ending, and his contributing segments to V/H/S, V/H/S/2, and The ABC's Of Death left a lot to be desired. As far as You're Next goes, it is a step in the right direction but I'm still not sold on his abilities as a director. There is a lot of really good gore, the masks worn by the killers are very creepy and the twist ending was well done. But what really baffles me is whether or not the film was suppose to be scary or darkly funny. Considering how over the top and "Home Alone" esque the kills were conflicts with the very serious tone of the film as a whole. Also there were a number of scenes that just drove me nuts with the level of stupidity invloved from a writing stand point.
Overall I thought You're Next was mediocre. (6/10)
I found the mix of splattery horror,genuine suspense and black comedy to be rather fun.Saw it in the theater where it got a nice reaction.The leading lady is starring in the remake of PATRICK.

Stereotypes and many a bitter blogger suggest Baby Boomers are to blame, or thank, for supporting the rapid expansion of Canada's oil and gas sector.
But polls suggest Boomers' views are surprisingly close to those of their Generation Y offspring — and the vast majority of Canadians want to see a transition away from fossil fuels to a clean energy economy.
Marc Lee, a senior economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, is speaking about the issue Tuesday in Vancouver at Bring Your Boomers, a series designed to foster intergenerational dialogue. The theme of the panel discussion is power and energy.
"The overarching problem is that no generation is really having influence on the political system relative to the concern that exists," Lee said in a phone interview Friday.
"Every generation wants action on these issues, but we have a breakdown in our political system because our politicians are not acting on those concerns."
A Harris/Decima poll commissioned by Tides Canada this summer found there was almost no difference between the generations in their sense of urgency about exporting more of Canada's oil and natural gas.
Asked to rate it as a top, high, medium, low or non-priority, 33 per cent of people across the country rated it as high or top priority. Responses hardly varied among age groups, however seniors' support was slightly higher at 39 per cent.
The biggest differences were revealed when pollsters asked how much of a priority should be placed on reducing carbon pollution and our reliance on fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal.
On the question of reducing carbon pollution, the percentage of Generation Y respondents that answered high or top-priority was 74 per cent, Generation X averaged 61 per cent and Boomers 65 per cent. However, given the sample size of 1005 respondents, the variations lie within the margin or error and could be statistically insignificant.
When asked to rate the importance of reducing Canada's reliance on fossil fuels, 75 per cent of Generation Y respondents aged 18 to 34 called it a high or top priority, compared to 65 per cent of Boomers ages 45 and up, and 61 per cent of Generation X, ages 35 to 44.
Merran Smith, director of Clean Energy Canada at Tides Canada, said support was uniform across age demographics and consistently higher than two-thirds for using a portion of the country's oil wealth to invest in and create more jobs in renewable energy, as well as improving energy efficiency.
"The gap's not that big," she said. "You could definitely say all generations are widely in support of transitioning our economy…. But younger generations are definitely more concerned about carbon pollution and Canada taking a role to reduce our carbon footprint."
The national poll was conducted between July 5 and 9 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.
Metro asked the Bring Your Boomers panelists:
What do you see as being the primary role of your generation in addressing Canada's energy challenges?
Boomer: Karen Cooling, 54
Union Rep at the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP)
"Our generation is clearly responsible for delivering this impending catastrophe into the lives of our children and grandchildren. It is our responsibility to make both the personal changes needed as well as working for the system change required to ensure a sustainable future for all human beings on earth."
Generation X: Marc Lee, 42
"My generation is the U-turn generation. We need to stop the shift to extreme energy development that is warming the planet so that the next generation can move to a truly sustainable economy."
Generation Y: Damien Gillis, 33
Documentary filmmaker, environmental journalist (co-founder and editor of The Common Sense Canadian)
"First Nations chiefs who recently confronted the Harper Government in Ottawa on resource issues told the media they were taking their cues from their young leaders. My generation will directly face the consequences of climate change so it is incumbent on us to tackle our failed energy policies. With powerful tools at our disposal like social media, film and new methods for movement building, we are ideally positioned to lead the way to a more sustainable future."
Generation Z: Ta'Kaiya Blaney, 11
Singer, songwriter, actor, activist
"We need to be looking at a energy supply that benefits not only the earth presently, but the many generations of life to come. For us children I find it critically important that we take part in this fight and battle to convince our leaders into switching our main power source for this will be the future our children will one day grow up in."

A few key pieces of information on precious metals caught my attention this week, which continues to support my thesis that 2013 will be a year where gold (GLD) will continue to underperform against silver (SLV). I wrote an article about this topic about a month ago. Let's examine how gold and silver have performed in the last month.
I have a couple different business colleagues who have spoken with bullion smelters who say the market is in short supply right now. Furthermore, Swiss money manager Egon Von Greyerz statedyesterday that "we are now seeing very lengthy delays in getting physical silver."
The iShares Silver Trust has gathered inflows of more than $600 million so far this week, which represents approximately 6% of the assets under management in the fund, to lead all ETFs.
Chinese Q4 GDP rises 7.9% Y/Y vs. 7.8% consensus, 7.4% prior. December industrial production +10.3% Y/Y vs. 10.2% consensus. December retail sales +15.2% Y/Y vs. 15.1% consensus.

This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/858,146 filed on May 15, 2001 for "Obtaining Location Updates About a Mobile Entity for Use in a Location-Sensitive Application". This application is further related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/858,148 filed on May 15, 2001 for "Retrieval of Location-Related Information".
The present invention relates to location aware mobile services and more particularly to a method and system for finding locally-relevant information in a physical or electronic document already possessed by a user.
Communication infrastructures suitable for mobile users (in particular, though not exclusively, cellular radio infrastructures) have now become widely adopted. Whilst the primary driver has been mobile telephony, the desire to implement mobile data-based services over these infrastructures, has led to the rapid development of data-capable bearer services across such infrastructures. This has opened up the possibility of many Internet-based services being available to mobile users.
By way of example,
More particularly, the fixed infrastructure 10 of the GSM PLMN comprises one or more Base Station Subsystems (BSS) 11 and a Network and Switching Subsystem NSS 12. Each BSS 11 comprises a Base Station Controller (BSC) 14 controlling multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) 13 each associated with a respective "cell" of the radio network. When active, the radio subsystem 22 of the mobile entity 20 communicates via a radio link with the BTS 13 of the cell in which the mobile entity is currently located. As regards the NSS 12, this comprises one or more Mobile Switching Centers (MSC) 15 together with other elements such as Visitor Location Registers 32 and Home Location Register 32.
When the mobile entity 20 is used to make a normal telephone call, a traffic circuit for carrying digitised voice is set up through the relevant BSS 11 to the NSS 12 which is then responsible for routing the call to the target phone (whether in the same PLMN or in another network).
With respect to data transmission to/from the mobile entity 20, in the present example three different data-capable bearer services are depicted though other possibilities exist. A first data-capable bearer service is available in the form of a Circuit Switched Data (CSD) service; in this case a full traffic circuit is used for carrying data and the MSC 32 routes the circuit to an InterWorking Function IWF 34 the precise nature of which depends on what is connected to the other side of the IWF. Thus, IWF could be configured to provide direct access to the public Internet 39 (that is, provide functionality similar to an IAP—Internet Access Provider IAP). Alternatively, the IWF could simply be a modem connecting to a PSTN; in this case, Internet access can be achieved by connection across the PSTN to a standard IAP.
A second, low bandwidth, data-capable bearer service is available through use of the Short Message Service that passes data carried in signalling channel slots to an SMS unit which can be arranged to provide connectivity to the public Internet 39.
A third data-capable bearer service is provided in the form of GPRS (General Packet Radio Service which enables IP (or X.25) packet data to be passed from the data handling system of the mobile entity 20, via the data interface 24, radio subsystem 21 and relevant BSS 11, to a GPRS network 17 of the PLMN 10 (and vice versa). The GPRS network 17 includes a SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) 18 interfacing BSC 14 with the network 17, and a GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) interfacing the network 17 with an external network (in this example, the public Internet 39). Full details of GPRS can be found in the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) GSM 03.60 specification. Using GPRS, the mobile entity 20 can exchange packet data via the BSS 11 and GPRS network 17 with entities connected to the public Internet 39.
The data connection between the PLMN 10 and the Internet 39 will generally be through a firewall 35 with proxy and/or gateway functionality.
Different data-capable bearer services to those described above may be provided, the described services being simply examples of what is possible.
With regard to the OS/application software 26 running in the data handling subsystem 25 of the mobile entity 20, this could, for example, be a WAP application running on top of a WAP stack where "WAP" is the Wireless Application Protocol standard. Details of WAP can be found, for example, in the book "Official Wireless Application Protocol" Wireless Application Protocol Forum, Ltd published 1999 Wiley Computer Publishing. Where the OS/application software is WAP compliant, the firewall will generally also serve as a WAP proxy and gateway. Of course, OS/application 26 can comprise other functionality (for example, an e-mail client) instead of, or additional to, the WAP functionality.
The mobile entity 20 may take many different forms. For example, it could be two separate units such as a mobile phone (providing elements 22-24) and a mobile PC (data-handling system 25) coupled by an appropriate link (wireline, infrared or even short range radio system such as Bluetooth). Alternatively, mobile entity 20 could be a single unit such as a mobile phone with WAP functionality. Of course, if only data transmission/reception is required (and not voice), the phone functionality 24 can be omitted; an example of this is a PDA with built-in GSM data-capable functionality whilst another example is a digital camera (the data-handling subsystem) also with built-in GSM data-capable functionality enabling the upload of digital images from the camera to a storage server.
Whilst the above description has been given with reference to a PLMN based on GSM technology, it will be appreciated that many other cellular radio technologies exist and can typically provide the same type of functionality as described for the GSM PLMN 10.
Recently, much interest has been shown in "location-based", "location-dependent", or "location-aware" services for mobile users, these being services that take account of the current location of the user (or other mobile party). The most basic form of this service is the emergency location service whereby a user in trouble can press a panic button on their mobile phone to send an emergency request-for-assistance message with their location data appended. Another well known location-based service is the provision of traffic and route-guiding information to vehicle drivers based on their current position. A further known service is a "yellow pages" service where a user can find out about amenities (shops, restaurants, theatres, etc.) local to their current location. The term "location-aware services" will be used herein to refer generically to these and similar services where a location dependency exists.
Location-aware services all require user location as an input parameter. A number of methods already exist for determining the location of a mobile user as represented by an associated mobile equipment. Example location-determining methods will now be described with reference to
As well as location determination,
The location-determining method illustrated in
In the left-hand half of
The right-hand side of
One the mobile unit 20E has determined its location, it can pass this information in request 65 when invoking a location-aware service provided by service system 40.
The left-hand half of
In the above examples, where the mobile entity is responsible for determining location, this will generally be done only at the time the location-aware service is being requested. Where location determination is done by the infrastructure, it may be practical for systems covering only a limited number of users (such as the system illustrated in the left-hand half of
Further with respect to the location servers 57, 67, whilst access authorisation by location-aware services has been described as being through authorisation tokens supplied by the mobile entities concerned, other authorisation techniques can be used. In particular, a location-aware service can be prior authorised with the location server in respect of particular mobile entities; in this case, each request from the service for location data needs only to establish that the request comes from a service authorised in respect of the mobile entity for which the location data is requested.
As already indicated,
Although in the foregoing, the provision of location data through the mobile radio infrastructure to the mobile entity has been treated as a service effected over a data-capable bearer channel, it may be expected that as location data becomes considered a basic element of mobile radio infrastructure services, provision will be made in the relevant mobile radio standards for location data to be passed over a signalling channel to the mobile entity.
As noted above, a number of location-aware services already exist for returning location-related information to the user of a mobile entity in response to a query made by the user. However, by their very nature, mobile devices cannot compete with printed books, such as guide books, in terms of ease of use and quality of presentation. It can be expected therefore, that guidebooks and the like will survive and continue to flourish despite the increasing availability of locally-relevant information provided over mobile devices such as WAP-enabled cell phones.
It is an object of the present invention to provide synergistic interaction between physical and electronic guidebooks and location-aware service systems accessible via the mobile radio infrastructure.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of finding locally-relevant information in a physical or electronic document already possessed by a user, the method involving the steps of:
(a)—sending a query message from a mobile entity associated with the user via a mobile radio infrastructure to a service system, the query message identifying the document to the system;
(b)—providing location data regarding the location of the mobile entity to the service system;
(c)—under the control of the service system, obtaining a document reference to information in the document relevant to the locality of the mobile entity as indicated by said location data;
(d)—returning the document reference to the mobile entity.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a
A method and service-system, both embodying the present invention, for finding locally-relevant information in a physical or electronic document, will now be described, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
The service system and method embodying the invention, for finding locally-relevant information in a document, will now be described with reference to
In the
More particularly, the document-index application 27, when run, first presents the user with a list of books (or other documents) which the user has previously input into the device 20 through interface 28; each list entry identifies the book by name and ISBN (International Standard Book Number). The user selects the guide book 70 from the list 72 and tells the application to continue. The application 27 now composes a query message including a user ID and the ISBN of the book 70, and sends it to a document-index service system 40 via a data-capable bearer service of PLMN 10, gateway 35, and internet 39 (see chain-dashed line 80).
The query message is received at interface 41 of the service system and passed to a query manager 43. The query manager first checks that the query is from a registered user by referring to user database 42. Assuming the user is registered, query manager 43 next obtains the current location of the user 70 from a location server 67 of PLMN via PLMN interface 36, the server system 40 being pre-authorised to obtain this information from the location server 67 in respect of user 70.
The query manager 43 then refers to database 44 that holds for each of a plurality of documents, a mapping between location and document reference data, this latter indicating where in the document one can find information relevant to a specified location. The document reference data is, for example, in the form of page (and possibly line) numbers. In the present case, the mapping relevant to book 70 (as identified by the ISBN contained in the query message) is accessed and the document reference relevant to the user's ascertained location is retrieved. This document reference is returned by database 44 to the query manager 43 which passes it back to the mobile device 20 where it is displayed to the user. User 70 can now turn to the indicated page of guide book 70 knowing that this is the page relevant to the user's current location.
Instead of database 44 directly mapping user location to document reference for the document concerned, the mapping can be effected in two stages. First the user location is mapped to a set of one or more elements related to that location—these elements might, for example, be the names of nearby towns and villages, historical events and persons associated with the locality, names of recommended restaurants, etc. This initial mapping is preferably document independent and used for every document logged in database 44. The elements of the set generated by this initial mapping are then used as search keys for ascertaining the location of relevant information in the document of interest; thus, in one implementation, an electronic version of the document of interest is stored in database 44 and is scanned for matches with the elements retrieved by the initial mapping. For each element associated with the user's location, the database 44 returns to query manager 43 the document reference or references of the match or matches found in the document for that element. Query manager 43 then passes one or more of these document references, together with the corresponding element, back to the user 70 via PLMN 10.
The advantage of the arrangement described in the foregoing paragraph is that it enables any document available in electronic form to be readily reviewed for locally-relevant information without the need to produce a specific mapping of location to local information for the book concerned. Of course, it would also be possible to produce in advance, from a search of a particular document, a mapping between all elements in a document and document references; this mapping would then be used when identifying the document references corresponding to the elements associated with user's current location
The arrangement shown in
In the
It will be appreciated that many variants are possible to the above-described embodiments of the invention. Thus, the location of user 70 can be obtained by device 20 (e.g. from location server 67 or from an internal GPS system) and sent to the document-index service system in the query message; this avoids the need for the service system to contact location server 67.
Again, the identity of the document can be disclosed to the service system in the form of the address used for the query message—that is, a part of the message address can be document specific.
Of course, the service system can be arranged to look up a database for further information of relevance to the user's location, this information—or an offer of it—being returned to the user along with the document reference. This further information can, for example, be updates to the document possessed by the user, or other information such as information about current local events.
The service system can, of course, also be used to provide locally-relevant references into an electronic document held by the mobile entity (such as, for example, a guide book purchased on a removable data carrier or previously downloaded over the Internet).

Baby boomers are easing into retirement, but some may find their golden years are haunted by student loan debt that could follow them until they die.
It's not their children's debt, however -- it's their own. Many boomers returned to graduate school during the recession to bolster their skills, reports the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Student loan debt is actually growing fastest among people over 60, the report notes. More than 2 million Americans over 60 owe student loan debt, with the average balance standing at about $19,500, up from just under $11,000 in 2005, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
In all, that amounts to $44 billion in student loan debt carried by people who often qualify for senior discounts.
"I fully expect to die with this debt," a former meteorologist told the Chronicle. After going back to school at 58 to become a mental health counselor, he's now $70,000 in debt and unemployed at 65.
Of course, it seems like adults in every age bracket are getting crushed by student debt, which is exacerbated by a still-recovering economy. As reported previously on MSN moneyNOW, more PhDs are applying for food stamps, while 284,000 students with college degrees were working at minimum-wage jobs last year. Working at McDonald's (MCD +0.87%) might be a disappointment if you're fresh out of college, but it takes on a deeper shade of depressing for seniors.
Older students have seen their debt loads mushroom not only because of rising tuition, but because they often take more time to complete a degree while juggling full-time jobs and family life.
Some are turning to the government for help. The meteorologist, for instance, slashed his monthly student loan bill in half to $250 through the government's income-based repayment program.

Arsenal and Tottenham battle for Aston Villa hotshot Andreas Weimann
TOTTENHAM and Arsenal are keeping tabs on Andreas Weimann.
We're confident that by the end of the season, we won't be in the relegation spots
The Austrian has been a rare positive for Paul Lambert's relegation-threatened side.
He has bagged 10 goals in his first full campaign, including Villa's consolation against Arsenal on Saturday.
And the 21-year-old could be available for a cut-price fee in the summer.
His £15,000-a-week Villa deal has just 17 months left to run. The Midlanders have begun talks over a new contract but Starsport understands no offer has yet been made.
Whether he stays or goes is likely to hinge on whether or not Villa are escape the drop into the Championship.
They are now in the bottom three but Weimann said: "We know that we're in there but we're all confident we'll get out soon enough.
"We've got 11 games to get out of it.
"We're confident that by the end of the season, we won't be in there."

War Diaz, Penn, and Shogun!
War Diaz, Penn, and Shogun!
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
I hope Swick knocks Brown out cold. Going to be a good night of fights, I can't wait.
I'm one of the biggest bj nuthuggrers in the world but I'm putting it out there right now if he looses no one can use the '' he wasn't in shape" excuse because my boy is in mother Fucking shape war Bj Penn.
Mmanews survival pool season 1 Champion
Either way all fighter will fight thats good.
On Shogun the mid section is a area where a fighter can be in great shape with cardio and not look ripped.
Hoping to see the old quick Mike Swick again. I like Brown hate to see him lose, but always enjoyed Mikes fights.
Doesn't anyone in his team consult him about this? like a manager or his own brother who fought for a title 10 months ago? The obvious question I would have asked is, "hasn't he ever watched a weigh in with a title on the line", but then again I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't.
War Prodigy!
Legalize MMA in New York
Did anyone catch what Rory said to Penn at the stare down?
Rory looks very emotional going into this fight, not sure if that is a good or bad thing for Penn.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Can't wait for these fights.
I want Diaz to sub, shogun to tko, and bj to ko/sub...
...but I wouldn't be surprised to see bendo ud, goose ud, and rory ud
That said I like every fighter on this main card! Plus it FREE...WAR THAT!
- The ol' out of shape one
- The ol' but he wasn't motivated one
Tricky fight for Penn fans. They may actually have to just suck it up and admit defeat fair and square.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful

Birmingham, Ala. – The Chattanooga Mocs softball team was unable to cap off the weekend series with a win Sunday afternoon, falling 4-1 to Samford in Birmingham, Ala. The Bulldogs took the series 2-1 to improve their SoCon record to 8-6 while the Mocs fall to 9-5 in Southern Conference play.
"Sometimes softball is a game of breaks," Head Coach Frank Reed said. "I don't think there was anything we really did wrong today, but we didn't catch a good break today. I feel like every ball we hit went right to someone."
Katie Henderson (Hixson, Tenn.) was handed the start in the rubber match and cruised through her first four innings of work. Allowing just two hits and striking out two, the sophomore would be handed no decision in the contest.
Henderson did not allow a hit until the third inning. With one out, Samford's Abbie Miranda and Megan Dowday recorded back-to-back hits to board two runners. Despite the jam, the sophomore was able to pop up the following two batters and work her way out of the frame.
Chattanooga followed up on offense in the top of the fourth with three hits and one run to take a 1-0 lead on the Bulldogs. Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single to right and Anyssa Robles (Lawrenceville, Ga.) singled to left to put two runners on with one out. A fly to center allowed Roberts to tag up and move to third. With runners on the corners, Criket Blanco (Maryville, Tenn.) reached first on an error that allowed Roberts to score from third.
The Mocs defense ran into a jam in the fifth inning as a walk and a fielding error allowed two Samford runners to reach with no outs. Henderson was able to get a fly out before giving way for junior Tayor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) to come on in relief. The junior was able to pitch out of the jam, coaxing back-to-back grounders to second to get UTC out of the inning and preserve the 1-0 lead.
The Bulldogs took advantage of a bases-loaded situation in the sixth, however. With just one out on the board and the bases loaded, Madison Dickey lifted a fly ball to straight away center that carried out of the newly renovated Samford Field for a grand slam. The 'Dogs would go to the seventh leading 4-1.
Jesslyn Stockard (Ringgold, Ga.) gave Chattanooga a glimmer of hope in the seventh inning with a leadoff hit to left. The freshman was pinch ran for by Courtney Ervin (Seymour, Tenn.) and a double down the line in right off the bat of Roberts cut the Bulldogs' lead in half, 4-2.
With two outs, though, the lineup was unable to catch up to Samford starter Mollie Hanson. Hanson improved to 20-7 and Samford to 32-13 overall. Deason was handed her seventh loss of the season while UTC fell to 24-17 overall.
The Mocs return to Frost Stadium Friday and Saturday as they host in-state rival Middle Tennessee for a two-game non-conference set in the Scenic City. The Good Friday first pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. and Saturday's get-away game begins at Noon.
