West Allis - Starting in January, just in time for winter traffic mishaps, West Allis will institute a $250 crash billing fee affecting drivers of vehicles registered outside of West Allis.
The fee will be charged only if the West Allis Fire Department has to render any service, said City Administrator Paul Ziehler. If the Fire Department just responds but doesn't need to do anything, there will be no fee.
Alderman Michael May, who co-sponsored the proposal, said the idea "is to take the cost off property taxpayers and put it onto the users of the service."
The fee is estimated to bring in $25,000 annually.
While some other communities place the fee on drivers regardless of whether they are residents, May and co-sponsor Alderwoman Rosalie Reinke recommended charging only nonresidents.
Insurance companies would pay the fee, Ziehler said. If the nonresident isn't at fault, the insurance company will collect the fee along with any damages from the insurance company of the driver who is at fault.
"We aren't getting into determining who's at fault," Ziehler said.
West Allis also has an ambulance fee that will remain separate from the crash billing fee, he added.

Okay, so my attention span here on JDate has grown short yet again so let's just get the elephants in the room out and introduce them. Since I turned 45 and am tired of getting replies from men over 55, I changed my age for search parameters. No smoke and mirrors, botox, or implants : ). Though I'm very entertaining, if you're just looking for entertainment, then read no further. I love to have a free-spirited good time, but if that includes anything illegal, count me out. Your good looks aren't just skin deep-- it's about what you exude when you feel good and like somebody. And at least bother a little for me, because I will for you. And most of all, if you're not a real mensch, just pretend I don't exist. So all that being said, now we can get to the good stuff-- I'm fun and friendly, and want a good companion-- a man who is safe, sexy, smart, and knows how to make a woman feel special. If you appreciate a good woman-- one who is devoted, sincere, eager to please-- you won't mind so much that my life is a busy one, teaching fitness classes and being a mom. I'm not a JAP which means I actually smile a lot. I'm as good on a committee as I am dancing around to loud music (think Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, and guilty pleasures ABBA, and K.C. and the Sunshine Band). The right kind of company for me is someone who understands what being a mom means. If you're easy to be around, sure of yourself but not arrogant, easygoing but not complacent I like that about you. Someone who brings out the best in others because he's comfortable with himself is the kind of person I'd like to spend time with. You might be a man who enjoys some luxury, but you don't identify yourself by it. And don't worry, the only reason my picture wasn't up is because it's a small town, and I like my personal life to be, well, personal. If you have a good sense of humor, love children, and appreciate someone who is a little intense, but is also easy to please I'd like to hear from you. And here's a challenge to make things more interesting on this stupid cyber-carousel. I just bought myself an amazing dress that I would love to wear for somebody as amazing....otherwise , I'm happy with just the dress )

A cancer diagnosis and the chemotherapy treatments that usually accompany it are trying and arduous enough for any adult. Now imagine what it's like for a child.
For Holy Cross junior forward Andrew Keister, what some can only imagine became all too real for him. At age eight, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which the National Cancer Institute says is the most prevalent pediatric cancer, accounting for about one-quarter of all cases diagnosed in children under age 15.
"My parents left the room for about two or three hours," Keister recalled of the day he was diagnosed. "I just remember not really understanding what was going on. I remember them coming back and seeing them crying hysterically. At that point I knew it wasn't anything good."
To rid his body of the disease, he underwent nearly four years of treatments where chemotherapy was injected directly into his spine. Despite the length of time and the long road of therapy, Keister did his best to be like any other normal elementary school student. He remained active in athletics.
"I couldn't play football because the treatment softens your bones," Keister explained. "I played soccer, still played baseball and obviously basketball. But it was only one season, my fourth grade season, which was the only time I couldn't play basketball because I was going through a very intensive part of the treatment. Other than that I stayed active and participated in all those sports. I just tried to act like a child of that age."
Basketball was, and still is, important to Keister, but it took a different meaning for him during his battle with leukemia. The sport gave him an opportunity to be just like every other young boy in the neighborhood, despite his own fight. "I used basketball as a way to still relate to my friends and be a part of a team," he said. "When I was on the court, I felt like a normal child again. I realized who my true friends were and it was good having that support from those individuals because that's the thing that really helped me get through some tough times."
Treatments stopped and the cancer went into remission in 2000. Since then, Keister has been cancer free. Because he's gone over five years without a relapse, doctors are confident he's beaten the disease.
At Holy Cross, Keister serves as a co-captain of the basketball team and was selected First-Team All-Patriot League last season as a sophomore, but his notoriety has grown more so because of his personal victory off the court. As a cancer survivor, he's begun sharing his experiences with others, trying to alleviate the fears of children diagnosed with cancer and share some hope. "I find myself in a pretty unique situation because of my story," he remarked. "I think I can give kids hope and show them it's a speed bump."
Recently, when Keister was home in southern New Jersey, he visited with a child in a neighboring town who was also diagnosed with leukemia and had relapsed. There was an outpouring of support from the community and a charity run was organized by coaches of the local Police Athletic League. Keister was asked by one of his former coaches if he could speak to the family. He did, and came armed with a Holy Cross t-shirt and a basketball signed by the entire team.
"It made me feel like it was something so rewarding to myself to know that I'm helping a family," Keister explained. "Even though it's a small thing, it brought a lot of light to them and they're really happy that I could come there, speak to their son and speak to them, and give them that hope that these things can happen, and no matter what happens when you're a child you still have a whole lifetime ahead of you."
Keister explained it was the first time he took on the role of informal counselor to a family affected by cancer, and he wants to do more of it. "I really feel I can help people understand there are tough times but there's that sunshine at the end," he said.
Holy Cross asks its students to be "men and women for others," and Keister feels his own personal experiences coupled with what he's learning in Worcester are a perfect match.
"If you come [to Holy Cross] straight out of high school, you don't really understand those Jesuit ideals and what it really stands for, it's just a saying," he said. "But once you deal with things, as you go through your college career and you look back on your life and apply these things to that, you find yourself relating more. I think it's a perfect example of that."

I appreciate that the acid had a hand with that along the way - but I rank him amongst the greatest songwriters of the last 100 years.
Incidentally my old biology teacher was from Cambridge and knew him at school. He was weird then too.
Wow, good stuff there, MFB. Its like he just kinda picked up a guitar and started singing...and did it in a style that to some, just sounds "right" in a way.Whenever I would play "The Madcap Laughs" alot of people just didnt get it. A few would, but alot were like-"What the Hell is This?" Some of us got it , and some didnt.. You have to be able to relate to his pov and what he might have been "seeing" or "realizing" at the time. His lyrics were like an astral fragmented poster, they go on for as long as you want them to.
Take for instance- "Arnold Layne", now compare this to ......say, "Terrapin". Endless creativity.To me, its the pinnacle of self expresion and showing it back to society in a way that---If you dont get it, Oh well! Good luck to the"mainstream"... And the eccentric always get shorted for the "mainstream"! If you re interested, I have an interview with him thats not very well known, after Floyd and well into his permanantly "affixed" state. I read it alot these days....
As far as playing the mid-section of "Astronomy" I remember an old guitarist friend replicating it by pulling the string "off" of the fret.I dont play guitar, so its a bit hard to explain, but this is only a tiny bit of the song.. BRILLIANT!
Sorry for ramblin on, but its been a long day... : )

Research Interests
My research focuses on how stress affects health. In recent years I've become especially interested in stressors that occur during early life, and how they might get biologically embedded in people in a manner that reverberates across the lifespan. To study issues like this, my lab brings together theories and methods from across the behavioral and biomedical sciences. Over the long term, our goal is to establish a behaviorally and biologically plausible understanding of stress-health connections.

Ordered medium-rare rib-eye. It was tasteless and tough. Go figure. I asked the manager if they have better music than Welcome to the jungle and Whole Lotta Love. She didn't care and walked away. Apps were good a decent. Wine list is good as well. Three of us give this place a BIG THUMBS DOWN.
Posted by anonymous on 08/04/2013
unfortunately the food was just too oily and overly salted/ seasoned at those prices the ingredients should stand out - i'm sure they started out very good the service was outstanding.
Posted by Jeff C. on 07/02/2013
Basically went here to get the Costata steak which is a 44OZ tomahawk ribeye. It looks just like it does on the website - however it did not taste like you would want it to. There was literally no flavor to the meat. If you got a full piece, and dragged it along the bottom of the serving dish to pick up all the oil and au jus then it was a little bit better, but still for $128 steak you should not have to put salt and pepper on it yourself in order to have it not be bland. The appetizers however were a different story - GREAT appetizers including: BONE MARROW PANZANELLA... 17 SEA SCALLOP celery root, black truffle vinaigrette MARE... 21 warm salad of octopus, calamari, shrimp, scallops, olives, lemon However due to the dissapointment of the steak, I would not recommend getting it if you do decide to go here.

I was also there on Father's Day. Food was excellent. Service left a lot to be desired. Had to ask for bread to be served. Table was never cleaned after finishing the main course. An expensive glass of wine was knocked over accidentally by one of the staff. That incident broke the camels back at which time we complained about the poor service to one of the staff. She did offer at the time to remove the corkage charge as well the the charge for cocktails. I'm sure the service issues will be corrected and the restaurant will then be up to the standards of his other restaurants. Will definitely try again
Posted by Marshall Field on 06/16/2013
I just came home from a wonderful Father's Day experience at Costata and I must say, all the hype surrounding this restaurant is deserved and then some. The appetizers I tasted were among the best I've have had especially the soft shell crab and lobster salads. The pastas were perfectly prepared. The steaks came out as we ordered them with the Tomahawk Rib Eye living up to early press release. The sides were excellent as well and even as dish as simple as polenta was prepared beautifully. The desserts were divine and Mr. White, who chatted with us several times, bought is the tirimisu at the end. A minor quibble would be the greenness of the service as twice dishes meant for other tables wound up at ours. But in time I have no doubt that will be ironed out. For a restaurant that's been only open for about a month, I strongly feel that Costata is already a special place and in time will take its place as one of NY's great dining destinations.
Posted by Doris S. on 06/03/2013
Michael White does it again. Went there Saturday night. The Caesar salad was fabulous. The steak & vegetables were delicious. The wine & dessert were the best. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was beautiful. We loved it.

When Chantilly senior Laila Gray intercepted a sloppy pass near midfield and barreled toward the Westfield goal, it looked like the beginning of a long night for the visiting team. Gray calmly blasted her shot around Westfield keeper Maggie Barron to put the home side ahead 1-0 less than four minutes into the game. As the rain continued and the surface grew slicker, you got the feeling there were more goals to come.
Sure enough, three more goals were in store before the halftime whistle sounded. All three came from the visitors.
Westfield's 5-3 victory over its crosstown rival on Monday night was a lesson in perseverance. Five minutes after Gray's opening goal, freshman forward Jada Massey slipped behind the Chantilly defense to slot the tying shot into side netting. Chantilly came out angry in the second half and reignited the home crowd with a pair of goals in a two-minute span, the tying goal coming from Karina Castillo off a rainbow cross from Kayla Christian. But just 39 seconds later, junior forward Monica Horinko put Westfield back in front 4-3, followed five minutes later by another goal from Massey.
Westfield's triumph was its first over Chantilly since 2011. The two-time defending Concorde District champs had beaten Westfield in six of their previous eight meetings, the most recent being a 2-1 win in last year's district championship.
"You carry a chip on your shoulder having lost to them so many times," said Westfield senior Brittany Fary, one of the few players on the team old enough to remember that 2011 win. "All the returning players came in this year knowing what happened in the district finals last year. This was our revenge."
Monday's win wasn't just important from a revenge standpoint. Westfield (5-3-1) needed something to feel good about after dropping three of its past five contests, its most recent win coming on April 9. That's a rough stretch for a team that got off to a 3-0 start, not to mention the undefeated regular season they enjoyed last year.
Still, recent stumbles haven't much affected the Bulldogs. Close losses to Lake Braddock, West Springfield and Madison can't touch their 3-0 conference record, nor can last week's 1-1 tie with Woodson. A pair of wins against Robinson and Oakton this week would secure Westfield the top seed heading into the Conference 5 tournament.
"Some of the games that didn't go our way, I think we kind of took those as learning lessons," Westfield coach Kristi Williams said. "There are five games that really count in terms of what we ultimately want to have happen, which is position ourselves as best we can to make a run at the conference title."
That conference title has been a long time coming for the girls' soccer squad, one of five Westfield varsity teams still without a banner in the gym.
The departure of last year's strong senior class figured to hurt Westfield on its quest for a long-awaited trophy, but the addition of four freshmen this year pointed to a promising future. Chief among those newbies is Massey, whose frightening speed up top has helped her record a team-high five goals so far this season.
"I came in not knowing anyone, so it was pretty hard getting used to the team," Massey said. "But as we started building our confidence as a team, it got a lot better. Everybody has started playing like a team, which has really helped us."
With the postseason peeking around the corner, the Bulldogs appear to have found the perfect time to harness their chemistry.
"We're working as a collective unit," said Fary, an East Carolina commit. "We're not a bunch of individuals anymore — we're becoming a team. I think we're going to be a threat to the region in the coming tournament."

As a real estate broker, I am constantly traveling back and forth between towns and Cities within Sonoma County. And as well as I think I know my County, I'm quite often surprised when I find that a home isn't in the City I thought it was in.
There is a line of demarcation somewhere, dividing jurisdictions from one City to another, but that line is invisible. And sometimes it moves. This isn't usually a problem, until I find myself needing assistance.
Real Estate, as every agent knows, isn't the safest job in the world. Agents meet with people they have never met in homes they have never been in. Because of this, I store the contact numbers of every police and sheriffs department in my cell phone.
Today is one of those days where I need to find out who I should call in case I find myself in a vulnerable situation. The foreclosed home I am visiting to do an occupancy check is right on the cusp of two Cities. To make my job even harder, the online County recorders office says the home is in one City, the online County Assessor's tax roll says its in another.
One of these Cities has its own police department, the other is under contract with the County Sheriff. After a phone call to the City police, I was told the address is within the County's jurisdiction. Another call had to be placed, of course, to make sure the County Sheriff's dispatcher agreed with that. They did.
Part of me wants to buy a can of spray paint so I can define my own line of demarcation based on my research, but I won't. Like I said ... sometimes those lines move. And it is better to be safe than sorry.

With the NHL lockout on it's way to being resolved, a big question mark hangs over this league. How far will the current OHL trade deadline be pushed back? Which top end players will be invited to NHL training camps? Will teams trade for players that will attend camps? Will NHL teams still keep players for up to 10 games before returning them to the Junior clubs? It will definitely be an interesting few weeks around the league.
Ottawa at Brampton
The 67's have dropped their last 2 games and will continue to have a challenging time without their #1 offensive threat Tyler Graovac. More trades are being discussed so the players may be looking over their shoulder in the coming days. Ottawa finds itself in the basement of the Eastern Conference with 11 wins in 41 games this season. Quite a change from the 40 win season last year.
The Battalion fell behind 4-0 at Sudbury after two periods of play on Friday night. Two of the Wolves' goals were on the powerplay. In the third period, the Battalion came out with a different battle plan and peppered Sudbury with 24 shots and three goals. This last ditch effort wasn't enough as they would fall 4-3 to the Wolves. Brandon Robinson was sharp with 2 goals and an assist – Patrik Machac had a goal and an assist. Brampton has lost their last two games and now sits in fifth place in the Conference only 1 point ahead of the Mississauga Steelheads and two points behind the freefalling Icedogs.
My prediction Ottawa 1 Brampton 3
Sault Ste Marie at Kingston
The Greyhounds complete their Eastern Ontario road trip with a stop to the K-Rock Centre to tangle with the Frontenacs this afternoon. Last night in Belleville, they would score the first two goals of the game before surrendering a late first period marker giving them a 2-1 lead after one period. The wheels fell off in the second period as they would give up three goals in a 3:31 window to allow the Bulls to 'blow up' this contest. Justin Nichols would come in for third period action, but would not be the difference maker here as the Greyhounds eventually lost this game 6-2. Shots on net favoured the visitors 32-27 but Charlie Graham continued his solid play in the absence of Malcolm Subban. The Greyhounds have 20 wins in 40 games this season and are in seventh spot in the Western Conference with 42 points. They have won 7 of their last 10 games.
Kingston was last in action on Friday night. They hosted the Oshawa Generals. This game was similar to other contests where Kingston would look for scoring from any source – all six of the Fronts' goals were scored by different players. Kujawinski, Ikonen and Vainonen would have multipoint games. Mike Morrison stopped 27 of 30 shots fired his way. The Fronts are in the #8 spot in the Eastern conference only 6 points from the #4 spot – a comfortable 13 point lead on the surging Peterborough Petes.
My prediction Sault Ste Marie 4 Kingston 3 (OT)
Sudbury at Mississauga
The Wolves last action was on Friday night vs. the Battalion. They were led by 2 goals each by Harris (#10 and #11) and Leivo (#17 and #18) including 2 of the 4 goals coming via the powerplay. After 2 periods they would lead the visiting Brampton squad 4-0. A flurry of activity from Brampton in the third period would produce 24 shots on Vienneau and three goals. The Wolves would hang on for a 4-3 victory. Sudbury has now gained points in their last 9 games – a streak only rivalled in the league by the London Knights.
Mississauga was in action on Friday night as well as they would host the struggling Niagara Icedogs. Three goals in a 1:24 window in the second period would be the difference in this game. Mississauga would outshoot the visitors 39-20 en route to a comfortable 5-2 victory. Dylan Smoskowitz would add 2 goals to his team leading 27 goals this season. The Steelheads are in the thick of the Eastern Conference standings – currently in sixth place with 43 points only 4 points out of the #3 slot.
My prediction Sudbury 2 Mississauga 4
Sarnia at Niagara
The Sting were in Erie last night where they would meet all they could handle in the upstart Otters squad. Sarnia was without their top goalies (injuries) so they started Knicholas Dawe for his second career OHL game. The emergency backup was Ryan Hergott who has no OHL experience to date. Sarnia would succeed on 2 of 3 powerplay chances in the game to keep pace with the Otters. Reid Boucher and Nikolay Goldobin each had three points. Charles Sarault had a goal and an assist as well as the game winner in the fifth round of the shootout. The Sting continue to lead their division over Plymouth (3 points) and thus have the second seed in the Western Conference. They have won their last three games.
Niagara's last action was at Mississauga on Friday night. The Dogs would jump out to a quick 1-0 lead after the first period via Stephen Shipley's 20th goal of the season. They would stay with the Steelheads for the first half of the game but then things slipped away on them. They would surrender 3 quick goals in a span of 1:30 in the last portion of the second period . The team looked disorganized and unsure about their defensive coverages. The edge in shots on goal – 20 vs 39 was an accurate representation of the game. Niagara has now lost their last 2 games and slips to fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 46 points in 40 games played this season.
This game marks the return of newly acquired Jordan Maletta to his hometown – he is sure to draw a warm reception this afternoon.
My prediction Sarnia 4 Niagara 2
Guelph at Saginaw
The Storm complete their Western road swing with a date against the Spirit. Last night in Plymouth the Storm would score the first two goals of the game but not hit the back of the net the rest of the game. The Whalers chipped away and tied the game up in the second period. In overtime Connor Carrick would score at the 2:29 mark to give the home side the victory. Keegan Wilson continues to patrol the nets for the Storm – he would stop 26 of 29 shots sent his way in this game. With the overtime loss, the Storm now have 47 points and are tied with the Kitchener Rangers in the #4 spot. They take the tiebreaker (currently) as they have played 1 fewer game. Plymouth trails both teams by 1 point.
Last night the Spirit were all over one of the top teams in the conference – the Owen Sound Attack. They would score 2 goals in each period en route to the 6-2 victory. Nikita Serebryakov would stop 31 off 33 shots sent his way. Justin Kea had a big game with 2 goals and an assist. Locke and Lodge each had a goal and an assist. Saginaw clings to the #8 spot in the standings with 37 points in 40 games. They are 3 points ahead of the struggling Windsor club and 5 points behind the Greyhounds.
Today is a faith day at the arena with activities starting at 2 pm followed by the game at 4 pm. To encourage attendance they also have a special $5 promotion to select games throughout the season – redeem yours from the team website.

About First Things First
What is First Things First?
First Things First brings together five core strategies for transforming the school experience for secondary students in ways that dramatically improve their academic performance and commitment. The strategies are:
- Strengthening instruction.
- Effective use of data.
- Personalized learning communities.
- Advocating for students and families.
- Building system capacity to strengthen and sustain reform.
IRRE has forged and refined these strategies over the past 14 years through intensive partnerships with districts and schools in urban and rural communities, and through careful research on the partnerships' effectiveness. For many of our partners, the results have been substantial improvements in their students' graduation rates and performance. In our most longstanding partner district, college attendance and persistence are up as well. Currently, 34 high schools and eight middle schools in seven states, serving almost 60,000 students, are implementing the framework's strategies.
Districts and schools can sequence and combine the core strategies in different ways, based on assessments of their needs. IRRE provides embedded training and ongoing support to school and district staff to initiate the core strategies and then to strengthen and sustain the reform as our role lessens.

Ba moved to Stamford Bridge from Newcastle in a £7m deal in January to support Fernando Torres, scoring six goals in 22 appearances as Chelsea secured a third-place finish in the Premier League.
But he faces extra competition next season following Romelu Lukaku's return from his loan spell at West Brom, while Mourinho is also keen to sign Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, for whom they had a bid turned down last week.
But Ba said: "I will stay. I think we need competition and we welcome the best players in this club.
"More competition is going to make me better anyway. All players want to play, not only centre forwards.
"We will all work in the same direction, for the club, to try and win the games."

The McCain camp isn't very picky about who they use for things like Palin and Joe the plumber.
Joe isn't licensed to be a plumber and here's the kicker…the state of Ohio has filed a lien against him for $1200 in back taxes that he still owes.
Oops…no wonder he picked a snit with Obama. This ol' boy is a deadbeat and wants others to pay for him.

In a surprising return to prime time television, the 90's era hit show "Matlock" aired on Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC Channel 3 Thursday night in place of repeats of regular network programming and actually beat competing shows locally, which were mostly repeats as well.
Showing the drawing power of the late Andy Griffith, the 2-hour movie beat ABC's Scandal repeat and Jimmy Kimmel Live Oscar special in the Men 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen overnights.
It even tied Kimmel in the overall demographic of people 18 -34 years old, which is remarkable considering a good portion of that audience hadn't been born or was still in diapers when the show premiered. (For a history of "Matlock", see the links below)
Asked why a 20-year old television movie was chosen, station management explained that since the Academy Awards left Griffith out of their Oscar night memorial tribute, there had been an outpouring of indignity across social media regarding the star's omission.
"'Matlock' is one of the most requested shows we get here at the station", said the executive who added, "Then again, we don't get a lot of requests either." The executive also noted, "It's the only movie left in our library that hasn't been over-exposed in constant repeats on cable."
What the station underestimated was the devotion to The Office. Those viewers clearly vocalized their preference for re-runs of the sitcom as opposed to the iconic Matlock. Lesson learned: do not pre-empt The Office.
Despite its laser focused ratings success, the airing of the "Matlock" movie sparked debate across social media the landscape not only in Northeast Ohio, but around the world, reviving interest in the long dormant franchise. No word as to whether the station is planning a digital sub-channel with Matlock Movies running 24/7.

Geneseo 3 York 1
Livingston County Division III has a 2013 baseball champion. Its the Geneseo Blue Devils! Coach Chuck Nesbitt & his troops had locked up at least a tie for the top spot with their 15-0 win over Perry on Monday (May 13). On Tuesday (May 14th) the "rivalry resumed" between York and Geneseo…this time the stakes were high for the Blue Devils with title aspirations on the line. Both teams went to their "aces" for this heralded match-up. The first game went Geneseo's way 3-0 at the "Round Table in Retsof". This time around the venue was the "Devils' Den" and the results weren't much different. York would score early, & Geneseo would score late to win both the game (3-1), and the D-3 Championship outright.
With pitchers the quality of Tyler Shutts for York, and Geneseo's Ben Kelly, the "M.O." is usually the same…."you have to get to them early". That's what York managed to do, but the Blue Devils would get the timely hitting the latter stages on this day. The Golden Knights struck first in the opening inning and had a chance to open things up, but had to settle for a single run against Geneseo starter Ben Kelly. An infield error on a ball hit by Patrick Dishaw with one out got things started for the purple and gold. Dishaw would steal second, and then Brett Curtis would draw a walk putting runners at first and second. Geneseo first baseman Devon Welch made a great play on a smash hit by Tyler Shutts to take away a base hit and surely a run as the runners moved up to second and third. With the count 0-2 on Andrew Short, the pitch would sail over the batters head and to the backstop as the run came home on the wild pitch. Geneseo would threaten in the second , but would leave two runners on. York would see a pair of their rallies get snuffed out as Blue Devils sophomore catcher Corey Valentine would gun down one runner at second to end the 3rd, and completed a "strike out double play" when he nailed a runner at third to end the fourth. Geneseo had one of their rally nipped in the bud when the York defense turned a 4-6-3 double play to end the 3rd inning.
After the Blue Devils squelched York's fourth inning uprising in scoreless fashion, the blue & white took that momentum with them to the plate where they would pull ahead in the game for good. Granger Flint opened with a single & Jake Clar ran for him. Trevor Mothersell replaced the runner at first after bouncing into a force play. Ryan LaGrou ripped an 0-1 pitch into the alley in left centerfield putting runners at second and third. With two outs Jake Vattimo stepped in and promptly got behind in the count 0-2. Coach Chuck Nesbitt called the infielder down the third base line for a moment. A couple pitches later & Vattimo lined one down the right field line that would score both runs making it a 2-1 game in favor of Geneseo. The Blue Devils would add an insurance run in the home half of the 6th when Granger Flint legged out an infield hit. Jake Clar ran & was sacrificed to second. Ryan LaGrou followed with a run scoring hit to center making it a 3-1 game. That's the way it would finish up as Ben Kelly set the Knights down in the 7th as the senior right hander didn't allow a hit since the 3rd inning in recording the win.
Geneseo (14-3, 6-1) saw Kelly record the win on the hill with seven strong innings of one-hit baseball as he struck out 10 and walked 2 while allowing an unearned run. Offensively for the Blue Devils, Ryan LaGrou was 2-2 with a double and an rbi as he scored a run and had a sacrifice. Granger Flint was 2-3. Jake Vattimo 1-3 with a pair of runs batted in. Trevor Mothersell was 1-2 with a sacrifice and a run scored. Ben Kelly also was 1-3 and Jake Clar scored a run for coach Chuck Nesbitt who's been on both sides of this rivalry. Geneseo will play Bath at home on Thursday and completes a suspended game with Pavilion at home on Friday to wrap up the regular season.
For York (8-8, 3-4) Tyler Shutts took the hard luck loss working six innings, allowing seven hits, three earned runs, while striking out five and walked two. For the Knights, Patrick Dishaw had the lone hit and scored the only run for the purple and gold. York hosts Pavilion on Wednesday & Leroy on Thursday.

Thread: Flexible Gas Line
02-10-2002, 05:54 PM #1Jared Guest
Flexible Gas Line
I am installing a pool heater outside. I wanted to use the flexible gas line because I feel it will be much easier. I had a few questions. First of all can this be buried? What do I have to do to run it underground? Second, where can I buy this and the fittings to go with it? I plan I doing this myself. Thanks
02-10-2002, 10:06 PM #2James Eggert Guest
Re: Flexible Gas Line
Good news is that rated flexible pipe, fittings and installation tools are available at a plumbing supply house.
Bad news is they won't sell it to unlicensed people. Let's see now, why is that? No kinks, fittings properly installed, air pressure tested with a 5 or 10 psi gauge, not a 20, etc., etc....
This is probably a time to just hire a plumber to do it the way they recommend.

Re: Flexible Gas Line
The suppliers of flexible gas materials are supposed to confirm that you are a contractor (mechanical) before you can purchase - but many times, its loose as a goose. For CSST, one is supposed to have been trained on proper installtiona and fitting techiniques, be tested, and have an installers card. HOWEVER, csst is not suitable for underground unless you install it in a conduit (PVC pipe). OR you can buy PE (polyethylene) gas pipe (the same yellow stuff the gas utility uses) and 'stab-on' end terminations (no need for fusion welding). Gastite by Titeflex sells PE piping and fittings and to my knowledge, you do not have to be trained on installation of this material.
It IS expensive but the only way to go in my opinion.

Lorin Said "Gastite by Titeflex sells PE piping and fittings and to my knowledge, you do not have to be trained on installation of this material."
That's painfully obviously where the last several Gastite installations that I inspected were gawd awful and potentially dangerous.
Vinyl clothes dryer vent tubing is still available as well. Go figure.

Re: Flexible Gas Line
Allow me to clarify myself. To install Gastite CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing), one DOES have to be ceritfied by a short training course and have available a certification card at the point of purchase.
Gastite also sells PE tubing which is the yellow polyethylene pipe that is meant for underground service only - It it not legal to install inside of a building (or even underneath one). But the PE tubing with the 'stab on' fittings is pretty fool proof and such that it is installed outside premises, certification is not necessary.
Agree, though, I have seen some pretty shoddy CSST installations.

So, it turns out that Janoris Jenkins is not the only Florida Gator who gets high in the wrong place at the wrong time.
According to Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post, redshirt freshman Chris Martin and redshirt sophomore Kedric Johnson have also been arrested for marijuana possession in 2011.
That brings the tally up to the three players arrested and four total arrests for new head coach Will Muschamp in just four months on the job.
One of the problems with the Urban Meyer Era in Gainesville was the legal troubles faced by many Florida players.
25 players were arrested a combined 30 times under Meyer and there was seemingly no end in sight for what was a growing black eye on the program.
Muschamp has a chance to change the culture at UF.
Does he have a chance to see zero players go to jail? Of course not.
The guy just wrapped up his first spring practice and he has already had four separate incidents with police happen on his watch.
However, he could lay down the law in a major way by making an example out of Jenkins, arguably Florida's most talented returning player.
Again, it is entirely Muschamp's call and if he wants to run this program the right way, then he will not just let these incidents fall by the wayside.
When Jenkins, Martin, and Johnson are done with their discipline, they should either be out of town completely or so disappointed that they never even want to look at a blunt again.
The time is now for Muschamp to weed out (forgive the bad pun) the players that don't care enough about Gator football to stay out of trouble.

Centennial (Circle Pines, Minn.) star forward Jenna Roering is plenty busy these days. With her high school soccer season behind her, Roering has shifted her attention to playing for her club team, Minnesota Thunder Academy, before she heads to Santa Clara's field this fall.
First, she's got lots of regional and national games to win all over the country — including in Kansas City, Florida, Texas and California Fortunately, Roering reveals she's got a hefty playlist that help keeps her sane and sound on the road.
What genre of music gets you ready to play?
Roering: Some people listen to really intense rap, but that doesn't get me pumped. I always listen to country music. I find it really relaxing, and it always puts me in good mood.
What songs make you want to turn up the volume?
Almost every Kenny Chesney song, but especially "Summertime", "The Boys of Fall", and "Don't Blink".
What's a takeaway message when you hear one of his songs?
If you take "Boys of Fall" into a girl's perspective, it connects to fall athletes and how great it is to play for your high school team. Even though [Kenny Chesney] is talking about a football player, all of us soccer players will listen to it, too, and think it's like the boy version of our song.
When you're listening to music like that, what do you think about?
I like to picture myself scoring goals and making good passes to set up for someone else. It really helps. If you can see yourself doing those things, you're more likely to do it in a game.
How do you feel when you listen to music versus when you don't?
For our away tournaments, we drive from the hotel to the soccer field, and it sometimes takes 20 to 30 minutes. When I have a long car ride, if I don't listen to music, I get distracted. Listening to music keeps me focused and gets me excited to play. And when I have my music in, it helps me visualize more.
Who else helps you get moving?
Taylor Swift. Her Red album is a lot more upbeat compared to her older music. She has really switched it up a lot — some people even say her sound is kind of techno.
Who would have thought techno and country could mash?
Isn't it weird? A lot of her songs don't even play on the country radio stations around here — they play on hip-hop and pop stations. Parts of Taylor Swift's new songs like, "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," have techno beats. They're really fun songs.
OK, so everyone has a little hidden music on her or his playlist. Tell us what you've got tucked away.
Between all of my country music are Beyoncé and Destiny's Child — both are always fun.

Eni Profit Rises 13% on Higher Oil Prices, Recovered Output
April 27 (Bloomberg) -- Eni SpA, Italy's largest oil producer, reported a 13 percent gain in first-quarter profit after crude prices increased and Libyan output recovered.
Adjusted net income rose to 2.48 billion euros ($3.27 billion) from 2.22 billion euros a year earlier, the Rome-based company said today in a statement. That beat the 2.28 billion-euro average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
"Eni expects to see Libyan production increase and reach plateau levels in the second half of 2012," said Oswald Clint, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in London. "Refining and chemicals again were loss making and the outlook remains poor for both businesses."
Eni, the largest oil producer in Africa, began to restore output in Libya in September after shutting down operations during last year's civil war that ended with the ousting of Muammar Qaddafi. It pumped 280,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day in the North African nation before the start of the unrest.
Daily output was little changed at 1.67 million barrels a day in the first quarter from 1.68 million barrels a year earlier. Operating profit for marketing almost tripled to 839 million euros after Eni renegotiated gas prices with OAO Gazprom.
"Recovery perspectives look poor in the gas sector with gas demand expected to be soft due to slow economic activity" Eni said. "Refining margins are anticipated to remain at unprofitable levels due to high costs of oil supplies, sluggish demand and excess capacity."
Galp Sale
Last month, Eni agreed to sell part of its 3.5 billion-euro stake in Galp Energia SGPS SA, Portugal's largest oil producer. Scaroni has said the company doesn't want to be a minority investor in Galp in the long term.
The Italian company doesn't plan to sell any more Galp shares right now because "today's market price doesn't meet" its "minimal expectations," Chief Financial Officer Alessandro Bernini told investors on a conference call. Galp shares rose as much as 5.1 percent in Lisbon trading.
Eni and OAO Rosneft, Russia's biggest oil producer, this week agreed to explore for oil and gas in the Barents and Black seas and work together on projects outside Russia.
Russian Venture
Last week, Eni started pumping hydrocarbons for the first time in Russia. Its $9.2 billion western Siberian gas venture with OAO Gazprom Neft and OAO Novatek is part of a plan to boost overall production by more than 3 percent a year through 2015.
Eni is preparing to sell its 5.9 billion-euro stake in Snam SpA, owner of Italy's natural-gas distribution network, after the government ordered the spinoff to increase competition and reduce consumer prices.
It's "too early" to talk about the details of the spinoff, said Bernini as he pledged to retain most of the proceeds from any future transaction to maintain liquidity.
Eni has also been exploring the waters off Mozambique, where it made the biggest gas discovery in the company's history. Its total resource base in the East African nation now exceeds 40 trillion cubic feet. Eni has said it may sell some of its holdings next year after carrying out further appraisal.

Mops Dogs
The mop (or the pug) is a "toy" (very small) breed of dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colors, and a compact square body with well-developed muscle. They have been described as "much in little", referring to the pug's personality and small size. Known in ancient China as lo-sze, they may have been responsible for both the modern Pekingese and King Charles Spaniel. They have Chinese origins, but were popularised in Europe by the House of Orange of the Netherlands and the House of Stuart of England, Ireland and Scotland. They can suffer from a variety of health issues and, in addition, care must be taken by their owner to clean their ears, and the folds of skin on their face.

Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut. The film stars Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. The film was released in the United States on October 8, 1993.[3]
The film tells the story of two men: an evil crime lord and a risk-taking police officer. Cryogenically frozen in 1996, they are restored to life in the year 2032 to find mainstream society changed and all crime seemingly eliminated.
Some aspects of the film allude to Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel, Brave New World.[4]
In 1996, LAPD Sgt. John Spartan leads a Special Operations unit on an unauthorized mission to rescue hostages taken by the psychopathic career criminal Simon Phoenix and his henchmen. After a thermal scan reveals no sign of the hostages, Spartan enters Phoenix's stronghold, and engages Phoenix's men and captures Phoenix himself, who before his arrest has detonated several barrels of C4, destroying the building. The hostages' bodies are found in the rubble, Phoenix "pleads his regard", and Spartan is charged with their deaths. Both men are frozen in the "California Cryo-Penitentiary" (Spartan for 70 years, with parole eligibility in 50) and exposed to subconscious rehabilitation techniques.
In 2032, 22 years after a "Great Earthquake" destroyed the city, the former cities of Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara have merged into the pseudo-utopian San Angeles, under the pseudo-pacifist guidance and control of an envangelistic Dr. Raymond Cocteau. Weapons and vices are outlawed, human behavior is regulated, citizens carry implanted transceivers, and in the resulting absence of any violent crime, the San Angeles Police (SAPD) has lost any ability to handle violent behavior of any kind.
Phoenix is awakened for a parole hearing, kills the warden, armed guards, and several peace officers, demonstrating superhuman abilities and martial arts skills. Veteran officer Zachary Lamb suggests that Spartan be revived and reinstated to the force to help them capture Phoenix. Lieutenant Lenina Huxley is assigned to assist Spartan in his transition, despite the reluctance of Chief George Earle, who takes an immediate dislike to him.
The revived Spartan has trouble adapting to life in the future. Most of Huxley's fellow officers perceive Spartan as thuggish and uncivilized. He finds the culture, the bans and the peaceful society repulsing (constantly getting fines over excessive swearing), and is at odds with Earle, who finds him to be a barbaric, heretic "caveman". In the meantime, the white-robed Dr. Cocteau has recruited Phoenix to kill Edgar Friendly, the ragtag leader of the "Scraps"—resistance fighters living in the ruins beneath San Angeles, whom Cocteau sees as the threat to the narcotized society he has created.
The first Spartan-Phoenix confrontation is at the "Museum of Antiquities" weapon exhibit, where Phoenix goes to arm himself, encountering Spartan, who had deduced this strategy. Phoenix evades Spartan and encounters Dr. Cocteau, whom he tries to shoot, but he is programmed against that ability. Cocteau reminds him of why he was revived: to kill Edgar Friendly. In a subsequent encounter, Dr. Cocteau adds Spartan to his hit list for Phoenix, and agrees to give him the territory of Santa Monica upon completion. Spartan and Huxley learn of this and that Dr. Cocteau is "an evil Mr. Rogers" rather than San Angeles's saintly god-king. He had programmed Phoenix to make him a more capable, dangerous maniac, and to use him as an assassin to eliminate Friendly. While Spartan, Huxley and young officer Alfredo Garcia enter the underground city to warn Friendly, Phoenix confronts Cocteau and demands that he release a list of other prisoners (6) to assist him.
At Friendly's base, Phoenix and an irredeemable supplement of recruits attempt to kill both Spartan and Friendly, whom Spartan and Huxley have joined underground. They escape in a vintage Oldsmobile 4-4-2, and pursue Phoenix, who stole a police car. In communication during the car chase, Phoenix reveals that the hostages Spartan tried to rescue in their 1990s encounter were dead before the building exploded: Spartan was innocent of any crime and was terminated (frozen) for nothing. Phoenix escapes. Friendly, recruiting Garcia, leads the Scraps from the underground to join the police against Phoenix and his gang.
Phoenix orders the gang to kill Cocteau, which his programming prevents him from doing directly. Spartan and Huxley arrive at Cocteau's headquarters to capture Phoenix and his accomplices. Phoenix escapes to the prison to revive (defrost) and recruit even more dangerous convicts. After knocking out Huxley to protect her, Spartan enters the prison to confront Phoenix. Spartan uses a cryotube to freeze Phoenix solid, destroys Phoenix by knocking his head off, and escapes as the cryomachinery overloads, destroying the prison and clearly assumed that a couple of Simon Phoenix's gang members no longer seen eliminated by the cryo-prison blown up. With Cocteau dead and the prison destroyed, the police and the Scraps find themselves at odds over how to begin the framework for their new society. Spartan suggests that they find a way to compromise between order and personal freedom, then kisses Huxley and departs with her.

Bullock replaced original actress Lori Petty in the role of Lenina Huxley after a few days filming.[6] Her character's name is a reference to Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, and Lenina Crowne, a character in Brave New World.[4]
Originally Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal were offered lead roles in the film.[7] The role of Simon Phoenix was also offered to Jackie Chan.[8]
Regional differences
One of the film's focal points is Taco Bell being the sole surviving restaurant chain in the world. Because Taco Bell is not widely available outside the U.S., the European version substitutes it with Pizza Hut, with lines re-dubbed and logos changed during post-production.[9]
Plagiarism controversy
Hungarian science fiction writer István Nemere says that most of Demolition Man is based on his novel Holtak harca (Fight of the Dead), published in 1986. In the novel, a terrorist and his enemy, a counter-terrorism soldier are cryogenically frozen and awakened in the 22nd century to find violence has been purged from society. Nemere claimed that a committee proved that 75% of the film is identical to the book. He chose not to initiate a lawsuit, as it would have been too expensive for him to hire a lawyer and fight against major Hollywood forces in the United States. He also claimed that Hollywood has plagiarized works of many Eastern European writers after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and that he knows the person he claims to be responsible for illegally selling his idea to the filmmakers.[10]
The title theme is a heavier remix of the song originally recorded by Grace Jones and written by Sting during his time as frontman for The Police. The song was first released in March 1981, as an advance single from Jones's fifth album, Nightclubbing. Sting released an EP featuring this song and other live tracks, entitled Demolition Man.
Elliot Goldenthal composed the score for the film. It was his second big Hollywood project after the Alien³ score.
The film debuted at No. 1 at the box office.[11][12][13][14] Demolition Man grossed $58,055,768 by the end of its box office run in North America and $159,055,768 worldwide.[2]
Warner Bros. released it on VHS in March 1994,[15] on DVD in October 1997,[16] and on Blu-ray in August 2011.[17]
The film received mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 64% rating on based on 36 reviews.[18] The film scored a 34/100 on Metacritic, based on 9 reviews.[19]
|This section requires expansion. (August 2013)
A four-part limited-series comic adaptation was published by DC Comics starting in November 1993. A novelization, written by Robert Tine, was also published in October 1993.
Acclaim Entertainment and Virgin Interactive released Demolition Man on various home video game systems. The 16-bit versions were shooting games distributed by Acclaim. The 3DO version is a multi-genre game that incorporates Full Motion Video scenes, with both Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes reprising their roles as their characters in scenes that were filmed exclusively for the game.
In April 1994, Williams released a widebody pinball machine, Demolition Man based on the movie. It is designed by Dennis Nordman. The game features sound clips from the movie, as well as original speech by Stallone and Snipes. This game was part of WMS' SuperPin series (Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, etc.).

Jason has to choose between Sonny and Spinelli, Anthony orders Sonny to kill Jason, and Carly chooses Jax over all else.
"Who'd have thunk it?" Nadine marvels over her triumph over the US government while en route back to Port Charles with Nikolas. For his part, Nik can't get over the fact that the White House transition team heard about the girl who couldn't be bought by big business. Nadine remembers the fundraiser that Carly is throwing at General Hospital and asks if he'll be her date. Nik says that he'd love to, but since it falls on Emily's birthday he was planning to stay home. Nadine understands, but Nik says that Emily would want him to go, so he accepts her invitation.
Claudia is with Sonny, trying to convince him that Jason needs to be taught a lesson when Anthony is announced. He is spitting mad about Sonny's interference with Johnny's case as well as his shipment that just blew up. Sonny reminds him that it was his shipment, but Anthony says that he can take it all back at any time. He orders Sonny to cut off Jason's head and leave it on a post to rot! Claudia defends Sonny, but is promptly told to shut up. Sonny clarifies that he thinks things through and will act when he thinks it's best. Anthony says that Sonny's recent mistakes are making him think that there's a sabotage going on. Sonny tells him to go home and talk to his roses.
Claudia tells Sonny that Anthony needs an ally and the confrontation thing with Jason is just a test. Sonny listens as she tells him if he passes, he can write his own ticket. Sonny asks why this matters so much to her? He points out that in spite of their marital status, they aren't exactly close. Claudia says that what she has here is a heck of a lot better than what she had at home.
The scene at the PCPD is tense. Agent Rayner tells Jason that unless he cooperates in putting Sonny and Anthony away, Spinelli goes away for life. But it goes further than that - the FBI wants Jason to work for them on an ongoing basis. Jason offers to go to prison in Spinelli's place, but Rayner won't hear of it. Jason then offers to put Anthony away, but Rayner says that whatever Anthony's crimes are, they're Sonny's now too.
Outside, Maxie tries to apologize to Spinelli for the mean things she said to him before he was arrested. Spinelli says that she spoke the truth and that he has always been nothing but a geek. He is removed from the cage and about to be shackled at the feet when Jason and Rayner come out of the interrogation room. Rayner says that Spinelli is free to go. Later, Diane goes to Rayner and asks what deal Jason cut to get Spinelli released. Rayner tells her not to get in his way and that her job is to remind Jason what's at stake here.
Patrick comes home and finds Robin sitting on the couch while Emma is crying. Frustrated, he goes to Emma but warns that this can't continue. After Emma is fed and has fallen back to sleep, Patrick suggests that Robin and he go talk to Kelly or Lainey about what's going on with her. She says that she was overwhelmed at first, but now she just has to find her rhythm. She adds that the apartment is too small and she's finally ready to admit that they need a house. She says that she could breathe again if they had more space. Patrick looks skeptical, but listens as she promises not to be so nuts if only he'd listen to her more. They look at houses on the internet and find one that makes Robin happy.
Maxie brings Spinelli back to her place because Jason took off in a hurry. Spinelli says that she doesn't need to take pity on him, he's a villain. He says that he was blinded with Winifred's flattery and now his crimes have been exposed. Maxie attempts to comfort him, but he laments that he was so caught up in his arrogance that he almost ended up in Federal prison! Maxie admits that she was jealous of Winifred. She says that she overreacted and had sex with him to get attention. She apologizes again, and Spinelli says that there's no reason to dwell on it. Maxie says, "You are a wonderful man Spinelli and I couldn't bear to start my day without you to spend it with me."
Sam shows up at Maxie's and is surprised to see that Spinelli has been released. Spinelli says that unfortunately, Stone Cold had to rescue him again. He starts to worry about what Jason agreed to do in exchange for his freedom. Sam looks worried, too.
Carly's table is set and all of Jax's favorite appetizers are ready for Jax. But it's Jason beating on her front door. She lets him in and he tells her that he needs her help! He says that he blew up one of Sonny's shipments tonight. He explains that Sonny will come over here for a meeting to broker peace if she asks him to, but it has to be tonight. Carly says that she'd jump in front of a train to save him, but this is her last chance to save her marriage and she can't risk that. Jason apologizes and says that she deserves her own life. As he leaves, Carly tells him that he can fix this.
When Jax arrives, he passes Jason on his way out. He asks Carly what just happened. She said, "I just chose you." She pours two glasses of Pinot Grigio, but Jax puts them down. He says that they need to be able to talk about Jason and Sonny, so Carly tells him what Jason asked of her. She explains that her life used to be about them and their problems but now she'd like it to be about them. Jax seems pleased.
Jason shows up at Sonny's. Sonny yells at him about the shipment, but Jason says that he left him no choice. Then he tells Sonny to step down from the Zacchara organization now or he won't be able to save him. Sonny can't believe that Jason is talking this way. He says that he has to treat Jason like the enemy now! Giving it one last shot, Jason says, "As long as this is your choice, I don't owe it to you to protect you anymore."

The Rockets lamented the missed final shot only as a reminder of how close they came. It was a good look, the one they wanted. But Chase Budinger never seemed quite right on it.
The timing was thrown off when Shawn Marion slapped away Goran Dragic's initial attempt to get the ball to Budinger in the corner. Dragic was still able to shove the ball out to Budinger as he had planned all along, but Budinger's 3 fell short and so did the Rockets, not only dropping a painful 101-99 overtime loss to the Mavericks, but out of the top eight of the Western Conference.
The Rockets, however, will not look at the loss as the result of that last missed shot, even if it was so similar to the shots that stunned Oklahoma City and Los Angeles. They cannot expect to regularly win on last second 3s. It's difficult to rely on a shot that misses 64 percent of the time. The last-second 3s fell to beat the Thunder and Lakers. It came up short against the Mavericks.
The Rockets, however, spent much of the game missing open shots. They missed their way through the second quarter, when they went to their bench. They missed down the stretch, when they held a three-point lead then missed five of their next six shots, most on the sort of open looks that were the best they could hope to get.
"We had many opportunities to win the game," Courtney Lee said, who missed nine-consecutive attempts before his deep overtime jumper tied the game with 90 seconds left. "A lot of shots were not falling, the calls were not going our way but I think we competed and fought throughout the whole game. If the shots that normally go down would have went down we would be in a great position (to win the game) but we can't blame anybody but ourselves."
It's not much of a revelation to say that when shooting, it's better to make the shots than miss. But the tough shooting night – 38.5 percent – did not seem a fluke. The bench offered little – going 6 of 24 and getting outscored, 44-13, on Saturday. Lee was misfiring. Dragic was forced to play nearly 48 minutes. All that made the Rockets look dangerously short-handed for the final 17 games.
This seems to be expected with the team's top two scorers – Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry – out. The Rockets, however, had done well filling the voids with the strong play of Dragic and Lee as starters. With Patrick Patterson and Chase Budinger shooting a combined 24 percent in the first three games of the homestand, the Rockets have not appeared to have enough in reserve to win many games like Saturday's against deep and relatively healthy teams.
Lowry and Martin do not seem close to a return. Lowry has progressed well in his treatment from a bacterial infection, but won't be checked out again for another eight to 10 days. Even in a best-case scenario, he will have a long way to go to be ready to play. Martin still has not played or practiced since March 11 and seemed frustrated to have found a tear in his shoulder on Wednesday.
Next week is brutally tough. After the Rockets host the Kings – who are playing better lately on Monday – they face Dallas again in the second half of a back-to-back, with the Mavericks off until then. They come home for Memphis and Indiana before playing in Chicago in the second-half of another back-to-back, then head to Los Angeles to face the Lakers.
With all that looming, every game and every chance to win is huge, especially with Utah's stunning surge offering a reminder of Memphis last season.
The Rockets insisted that they have enough to win. The wins against the Thunder and Lakers would seem evidence of that. But with Martin and Lowry out, the bench struggling and the schedule getting tougher, the margin for error is perilously slim.
That goes for the games and well as in the standings.
