'I was a Girl Scout for 3 years but that's really not the same thing'
EUGENE, Ore. - The Lane County Concussions are gearing up for another season of men's roller derby with a new member, A.J. "Pac'n Man" Spencer.
Spencer is the first member of the men's roller derby team who is a transgender player.
Spencer was hoping to take part in a team sport and had been a fan of women's roller derby for years.
"I have skated in the parks on the same kind of skates for about two years, and I love to learn to do new things on my skates, and this is just another thing I can do on my skates," said Spencer.
Spencer decided this past summer he would reach out to the men's team and see if they would allow him to join.
"I still had the features of a woman but the other players said they had no problems with me playing," said Spencer.
Spencer has been going through hormone therapy for over three months and is now experiencing physical changes.
"I'm starting to have the voice change, gaining some muscle mass and getting some wimpy scruff on my face," said Spencer.
Spencer had never played in any team sports until now but is extremely happy with the way things are going.
"I never played sports, so it feels really good to be out there with all of them because the closest experience to this is when I was a Girl Scout for 3 years but that's really not the same thing," said Spencer.
Along with the physical identity, Spencer is also benefiting with gender identity.
"Being close to a team like that and being physically comfortable pulling off these crazy dangerous things on wheels and at the end, win or lose, you're sweating, you're tired, and all the guys around you feel the same. It's an accomplishment," said Spencer.
The first Lane County Concussion is on March 30 at the Willamalane Center in Springfield at 2:30 p.m.

Setting out on his first USO Tour, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral James A. "Sandy" Winnefeld Jr. along with actors Anthony Anderson and Dennis Haysbert, legendary baseball pitcher Randy Johnson, American Idol alumni Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young, motion picture and TV personality Wee Man and three of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are out to entertain and meet with our troops in the Middle East. Already having visited hundreds of troops and their families in Italy, the group is making their way around various bases to bring smiles to our service men and women across Europe and the Middle East.
* See more images on our Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Tour Flickr set.
Admiral James A. Winnefeld Jr. extends his thanks to troops on the first stop of his Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs USO tour.
"The men and women who serve in our nation's military do so at a great cost. They put their lives on the line at a moment's notice and leave behind the comforts of home, without hesitation, to live in some extreme and harsh conditions. This trip gives us a chance to bring our troops a touch of home at a time when they are furthest from it, and more importantly, reminds them that America is thankful for their service. As Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff I am grateful for this opportunity to team up with the USO and an amazing cast of talent," stated Admiral Winnefeld Jr.
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Ally Taylor (2nd L), Kelsi Reich (C) and Brittany Evans (3rd R) pose for a photo in front of an F16 with service members in Italy during the first stop of a USO tour led by Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral James A. Winnefeld Jr.
"It's because of the men and women who defend this country and our freedoms that I am able to follow my dreams and take part in this USO tour. There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for all that they and their families sacrifice," said Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Ally Taylor.
Movie and TV personality Wee Man shares a personal message with troops and military families in Italy as part of his first USO tour.
"I do a lot of crazy stunts, it's how I make my living and I love it. But being on this USO tour and seeing the role our troops play in keeping us safe is humbling. To do what they do every day, shows that they have a passion for their profession that most of us will never know," said Wee Man.

Winnefeld (C), actor Anthony Anderson, TV and motion picture personality Wee Man, artists Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young and baseball legend Randy Johnson (back row far R) pose for a photo before heading out on their USO tour.
"The USO is proud to partner with Admiral Winnefeld and these great celebrity volunteers to let our troops know how much we appreciate them. Our deployed troops are sacrificing so much for us, and this tour sends a very clear message that their service is greatly appreciated," shared Sloan Gibson, USO President and CEO.

It let's you open wmv files with mplayer (or any other video player) even if the mime-type is not set up correctly on the web page. This was a major pain in Mozilla.
Well, it's, of course, not mozilla's fault at all. As you said the site admins didn't do their job and never set the mime type correctly. At the end of the day you could say IE is at fault because it just ignores the mime type for wmv files and people checking their pages with IE only think "hey, everything works" when in fact it doesn't.
Isn't it aboutlugins for mozilla, too?A few minor quirks though. Had to dig hard to find where to check for installed plug-ins.
Hehe. Yeah, that's a left-over from before then first name change. The latest nightly builts do in fact use ~/.firefox (and automatically convert your ~/.phonix directory)It stores user data in ~/.phoenix, it would make more sense to have it in ~/.firefox.
Same here. Actually it's dafault for me on both OS X and linux since 0.7. There are just so many things I couldn't surf without: The adblocker extension and flash-click-to-play. Or the ingenious mycroft site search plugins: They add the ability to do direct searches on all major web site like google.com(/linux) imdb, ebay, amzon, wkikipedia, ... you name it, from the little box next to the URL bar.Anyway, it became my default browser really quick.

This refill of graceful rattan reeds brings renewed, vibrant fragrance into your home. To use, place reeds into oil-filled vase. The scented oil travels up the reeds to diffuse the scent. To intensify the aroma, carefully remove and flip reeds, exposing the saturated ends.
Reeds are great...now please bring back Bitter Orange & Cedar!
It seems absurd to discontinue a fragrance that was recommended by 100% of reviewers, and that was pretty much universally raved about! I'm hoping it's just a marketing ploy... I'm a reed diffuser freak, and own quite a lot of very high end ones, including Jo Malone's. This scent and diffuser system is my absolute fave, even more so than Frasier Fir (which I adore), as it is not seasonal. WHY, WHY, WHY... I'm still scratching my head.
Was this review helpful?
Yes No
Love These Reeds
Although the green and red reeds are beautiful I love these thirsty reeds. They soak up so much oil... so much better to smell the fragrance.
Frasier Fir Diffuser
Great packaging. The Frasier Fir fragrance is wonderful. However, in comparison to earlier purchases of this particular fragrance in the diffuser form, my recent purchase does not have as long a lasting fragrance. I am a little disappointed with the product's scent quality.
Needed More Reeds
The "reeds" I bought didn't have a count on the web. I would have bought more if I knew there were only 12 in the package.
The Blue Lotus I bought is a wonderful scent. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys a clean smell.
Fantastic Fragrance
Fraiser Fir is my favorite fragrance. I keep it in my home year round, and everything has a clean fresh forest smell. It is especially great during the holidays.

50 CentRapper
Born: 6 July 1975
Birthplace: Queens, New York
Best known as:
The rapper who made the hit album Get Rich or Die Tryin
Name at birth: Curtis Jackson
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's 2003 album Get Rich or Die Tryin was a top-seller, propelled by the hit song "In Da Club" and by support from hip-hop superstars Eminem and Dr. Dre. 50 Cent's troubled past was part of the package: he was raised by his grandparents after his drug-dealing mother died, and in 2000 he survived being shot 9 times. Before his mainstream breakthrough he was popular in clubs and on the streets, thanks to locally distributed tapes. Although it didn't get national airplay, his Power of a Dollar (1999) was an underground hit, as was his earlier single "Thug Love." His second album, 2005's The Massacre, was almost overshadowed by 50 Cent's public feud with fellow rapper and protegé, The Game. Between the gunfire, feuds and hit singles, Rolling Stone magazine was moved to call 50 Cent "in many ways the ideal East Coast hardcore rapper." His autobiography, From Pieces to Weight, was published in 2005.
Extra credit:
50 Cent says in his autobiography that he borrowed his name from a local robber, a "stickup kid from Brooklyn"... The rapper announced in March of 2003 that he'd had a special bullet-proof jacket made for his six-year-old son... 50 Cent swapped insults with rapper Ja Rule in an ongoing public feud throughout the early 2000s.

Will Tebow Reform His Ways?
Michael Rapoport of NFL.com writes about a couple topics on the league's website and makes note of one aspect that he's going to take careful note of as the Jets head into the offseason around their backup quarterback Tim Tebow and whether or not he's willing to accept a role that the NFL will make for him — not one he's trying to make for himself.
Had most any other guy asked out of action because he didn't like his role, as a source confirmed Tebow did last week, he'd be eviscerated. This also isn't necessarily a completely isolated thing for Tebow either, when you consider the billboard incident that my NFL.com colleague Jeff Darlington reported on last year. So where could this have a lasting effect? I know the Jacksonville Jaguars thing is out there for Tebow, but that likely wouldn't be for long. If you want to see where Tebow really could carve out a 15-year NFL career, look to Michael Robinson, who was the 2005 Big Ten Player of the Year as a quarterback for Penn State but remade himself as a meat-and-potatoes fullback in the NFL. Robinson made it work because he was willing to make it work. On the flip side, former Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch was less willing, and he was quickly out of the NFL. That's why this week could be an important one for Tebow. If he pops back up as a situational quarterback and a special teams player, it means he'll have subjugated his ego, and that could send a nice message about
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
It's a very salient point by Rapoport. Everyone always says what a competitor Tebow is, and I think that's been clear in his desire to keep trying to play the quarterback spot in the NFL. The hype around him has helped, but it's not worked out and when 5-10 teams who had quarterback problems last year had a chance to get him, only two teams — both with recent first round draft picks at the QB spot — came to call. That's a very telling fact about what talent evaluators and coaches around the league think about Tebow.
Last I checked, the Jets dumped their starting fullback earlier in the season due to injury and because he couldn't pick up the offense. Their current starter at the spot has been subpar all season long, but at least he knew what he was supposed to do even if he couldn't execute on it. The Jets have made it abundantly clear that they're looking to move on from Tebow and that might be the best thing, but if he was willing to commit to some intense offseason work as a fullback or tight end, then maybe it would be something that Rex Ryan would be happy to work with …

|"From the Halls of..." Marines Land at WHS
|Written by Gary Childers
|Tuesday, 09 April 2013 08:33
One could tell before Watauga County's Board of Education got very far into their meeting Monday evening that the JROTC topic listed for "acceptance" later on the agenda was going to be a challenging one. During the public comment segment which occurred early in the meeting former Board
of Education chairperson, Debra Miller, addressed the current Board, "This has been in the works for some time--well over ten years by my memory." She went on to say, "Board members, please allow our students to participate in this JROTC program." When it came time to present the Marine JROTC program to the Board for acceptance WHS principal, Marshal Gasperson, shared all that had been done to have the program ready to begin for the coming school year. This seemed to catch several Board members off guard and a number of questions were raised about whether approval had been granted to implement the program and, if so, when. There were also questions about how much the program would cost and where the money was coming from to cover the two to three year approximately $150,000 financial commitment. When Board member Ron Henries asked various administrators where the money was coming from there seemed to be some uncertainty as to whether it would be covered from the Board's fund balance or if there would be additional money requested from the County Commissioners. Chairman, Dr. Lee Warren, felt the Board had approved an ROTC program years ago. Board member Brenda Reece wanted to know if it had been funded in the past without knowing how much it would cost. She also expressed concern that funding this program would cause other teaching positions to be cut. Others wondered if former Boards could financially obligate the current Board. At this point principal Gasperson defended his actions and made the following appeal, "The Marine Corps has operated as this is approved." He went on, "If the board is going to stop this, the board needs to stop this tonight." Following this, upon the advice of Board attorney Paul Miller, it was decided the Board needed to take action on the current request instead of assuming permission had been granted for a JROTC program in the past. After a long pause, waiting for a motion and second, the Marine JROTC program was approved for implementation by a split vote. Warren, Hodges, and Henries voted in favor, Kinsey voted against, and Reece abstained.

The judge in the case against George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, has ordered 500 potential jurors for June 10, with the trial beginning shortly after.
Judge Debra Nelson said the prospective jurors would be summoned over three days, starting June 10, and the trial would start shortly after.
Nelson also said Zimmerman's immunity hearing could begin as early as April 15. Lead attorney Mark O'Mara suggested the immunity hearing being held in May or with the second-degree murder trial itself, which is scheduled to begin in June. Nelson ruled that the immunity hearing won't be delayed past April 22 unless there are "extenuating, extraordinary circumstances."
Also discussed at Thursday's hearing was Crump's opposition to being deposed. A hearing on the issue is set for Feb. 22.
O'Mara also requested for the state to respond to his subpoena requests quicker, for an example, the voice samples the defense requested from Martin's family. Judge Nelson said she will deal with subpoena requests from defense as normal protocol, with no deadline.
The hearing comes days after O'Mara filed motions for subpoenas seeking audio recordings of Martin's voice from Martin's family and the woman who says she was on the phone with Martin just before he was killed.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty, claiming he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot Trayvon Martin.

I was thinking a bit about this and I came to the conclusion that it would be awesome to have this type of game. I mean c'mon, there are some odd game types like Freeze Tag or Harvester and there is not CA duels.
I know I know CA means Clan Arena and is a lot about team play and players cooperation. However, I still think there should be something like CA duels if you know what I mean.
For example we could say that regular Duels are like FFA but 1vs1 and there is only 1 winner and the other player is the one who lost. By CA duels I mean same rules as CA (no picking items, same guns, same ammo amounts, no self damage and so on) but just 1vs1 allowed and stats for that in the profile including tier bar.
You may think to yourself: Why? Would it not be the same as just simply playing CA 1vs1?
And the answer is... NO. Here are some reasons why:
1. First and maybe the most important one: competition (sport).
CA duels would let to precisely rate CA skill of players.
People like competing with others. For some it's the primary matter.
So stats would be the crucial factor.
2. No pushing & no blocking by team mates.
No disturbing chats. No spam ocean.
Just pure game and focus on achieving the goal.
3. Many times players who I asked about duel said to me that they would rather play CA 1vs1 because they don't like regular duels (picking items and self damage which makes rocket jumps and bouncing harder)
And I think the same, I don't like gathering items and there are more luck factors in regular duels. I would rather like to concentrate on fragging opponent.
I bet that CA duels would gain popularity in no time overtaking some other types of Quake Live game.
Who knows maybe they would get as popular as regular duels. I say, bring it on!
I think it would not be so difficult for QL developers to implement it as it's all already there, just a few tweaks?
Oh and the poll above: Do you think CA duels are good idea or not.
BTW, I made this pool public but voters can't be seen anyway. Can someone (I mean mod) make voters visible please?
By the way, if you vote "No" then please explain your reasons, why do you think it's a bad idea? Thanks!
So, I have been researching old threads/posts about the subject because evidently people wanted this type of game already before.
And I saw that most of the people who were opposite to the idea were duelers (people who mostly play duels). They shouted without any further explanations about blasphemy and they were taking it as an attack on them.
And I realized that established duelers with nice rankings will be against it because they fear to lose their position and to be forced into playing new type of game.
So I strongly appeal to people that play mostly regular Duels or FFA to not vote in this pool, thank you in advance. This pool is intended for people who play mostly CA type of game.
Update 2:
I think now I should do this 1 option pool only because some people vote no only because of their acridity directed towards me. However, those are only some unique cases so no worries. And this pool is only intended to show the interest in the idea anyway. However, I left the option of disagreement because I wanted to hear some content-wise arguments why not. Anyway lets see how it will go...

Back when I was junior enlisted, woe be to anyone who made a mistake close to a holiday. Underage drinking meant that all of us would get an hours-long GMT (general military training) on underage alcohol consumption. Well, these days that adage seems to work in reverse. Our generals are triggering the training:
Citing a string of ethical lapses by senior military officers, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to review ethics training and to brainstorm on ways to steer officers away from trouble.
The move is a reflection of the depth of concern triggered by a series of misconduct cases in a military that prides itself on integrity and honor but has suffered an unusual number of stumbles after a decade of war.
In a memo to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Panetta made no explicit reference to the David Petraeus sex scandal, which also has ensnared the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen. Panetta's press secretary, George Little, said the memo was the product of internal Pentagon discussions that began before Petraeus announced he was resigning as CIA director because of an extramarital affair.
Standing by for training. Meanwhile, General Petraeus testified last week behind closed doors. But not too closed:
A photographer who photographed two photographers photographing a photographer squeezing off a photograph through a crack in the door of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Got it.

Stars like; Peter Sagan, Ivan Basso, Elia Viviani, Moreno Moser and many more promise to deliver results and incredible moments in this year's race calendar.
The first victory in Cannondale Pro Cycling history comes from the Tour of Oman. Today, in the second stage of the race (Fanja in Bidbid-Al Bustan, 146 km), Peter Sagan claimed the 37th win of his career, thanks to a solo attack on the leading group (at 5" Gallopin was second, then Elmiger and Nibali). For the Slovak champion, the decisive moment was 1.5 km from the finish line, on the last ascent, when he counter-attacked a late move. In addition to the stage win, Sagan now finds himself in first place in both the General Classification (Gallopin at 9" ) and the Young Riders' Classification.
"I'm really happy about this first win because the team wanted it and waited for it," said Sagan. "The fact that I took this win doesn't count for very much: what is important is that Cannondale Pro Cycling won. Having broken the ice means a run without pressure. We'll continue to work to achieve new successes at races throughout the year."
Sagan also explained the difficulties during the final part of the stage: "10 km from the finish, only a small group of riders remained and no one took the initiative. Then Nibali, Gallopin and Elmiger decided to speed up. After one km, on the final ascent, I decided to attack and pursue the break. When I got close to them, I decided to continue solo until the finish line. Everything went perfectly, which means my condition is improving," said Sagan.
Tomorrow's stage at Tour of Oman could offer a new chance for Cannondale Pro Cycling. The finish line is in Wad Dayqah, where Sagan claimed his first success in Oman in 2012.

Mets have talked to Toronto about C J.P. Arencibia
The Blue Jays currently have three catchers on their 40-man roster: Travis D'Arnoud, John Buck, and J.P. Arencibia.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the Blue Jays are most likely to trade Arencibia, and the Mets and Jays have discussed a deal for Arencibia around Jon Niese.
However, Rosenthal adds, "The Jays might need to offer more than Arencibia to acquire such a pitcher, but aren't necessarily eager to make that type of move."
Rosenthal says the Jays could alternatively look to sign a lower-end free agent starting pitcher or sign multiple players to Minor League contracts to add the depth they seek.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead WriterNov. 26: The Mets and Jays talked a lot last season, so much so that people close to the team often mentioned Jon Niese and d'Arnaud. No deal ever materalized, but, with Sherman's report, plus Ricciardi's knowledge of their farm system, it stands to reason these teams would again be talking.
Michael Baron, ContributorI'd be hard pressed to part ways with Niese for Arencibia. It's not to say I don't like Arencibia – I do and I think he could go a long way towards solidifying the catcher position. I would think the Mets could build a package around someone like Dillon Gee to get Arencibia or, as Rosenthal suggests, Toronto would have to sweeten their side of the deal for Niese.
Arencibia isn't eligible for arbitration until next winter, meaning he is under control for at least four seasons. I doworry about Arencibia's ability to hit outside of the American League East and in a more pitcher-friendly division like the National League East. But given the low-cost commitment it's a small gamble to take, assuming the price is right in trade.
Previous updates and information on J.P. Arencibia...
Stats: Arencibia, who will be 27 on Opening Day, hit .233 with a .275 OBP and .435 SLG, 18 home runs and 56 RBI in 347 at-bats over 102 games in 2012. He broke his hand in late July and missed about six weeks.
Contract: Arencibia earned $489,000 in 2012 and is not eligible for arbitration until 2014. He can become a free agent after the 2016 season.
- Nov. 18: Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald says Toronto is shopping Arencibia, Travis D'Arnoud, and John Buck, but is "leaning toward Arencibia or D'Arnaud."

|Boone Budget Before Town Council Tonight
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 20 June 2013 05:53
Tonight, we'll learn whether the taxpayers of Boone will get the bill for the county's changing of the sales tax distribution, a move that has cost the Boone Town budget $1.8 million for the upcoming year. Council members have spent hours poring over Town Manager Greg Young's budget proposal,
one with a lot of fives in it—five percent cuts to each department's budget, five percent cuts to travel and training, and a five-cent property tax increase. Those hours of work may have trimmed enough to stave off a tax increase, but it may only come with a dip into reserves—about $3 million worth. The proposal would take the funds above the town's 35% reserve. Young's budget does project an additional $300,000 from increased property value. No one spoke at the public hearing on the Boone town budget Tuesday, in spite of the deficit coming due to a dispute with the county that led to the cancellation of the sale of the old Watauga High property. But with 10 days until the new budget goes into effect, final action is expected at the Boone Town Council meeting tonight at 6:30.

MASSENA - A Bombay man charged with harassing his sisters then estranged husband has been fined and directed to abide by the terms of an order of protection requiring him to stay away from his former brother-in-law.
Massena Justice James E. Crandall fined Brian E. Stoddard, 22, of 1684 state Route 95, Bombay, $250 and a $125 surcharge after he pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct violation that satisfied second-degree criminal contempt and trespassing charges pending from an incident on Jan. 6 in the driveway at 2264 state Route 420.
Raymond T. Clark told police he arrived home to find Stoddards vehicle blocking the entrance to his driveway and noticed his estranged wife, Caitlyn Clark, was in her brothers car as well. An order of protection was in place from a previous altercation between the two men.
Mr. Clark said then he then tried to pull in to the first driveway at a neighboring business but Stoddard moved his vehicle to block that entrance as well. He said when he attempted to enter a second driveway on the neighboring Stoddard again moved his vehicle to attempt to block the driveway and the two vehicles scraped brothers. He said his estranged wifes brother then drove away from the scene.
Massena-based state police had charged Stoddard with second-degree criminal contempt and trespassing and ticketed him for leaving the scene of a property damage accident, a right of way violation, unsafe movement of a stopped vehicle and speed not reasonable and prudent following an investigation into the incident reported at 9:49 p.m. Jan. 6 from the town of Massena.
In other recent court action before Judge Crandall:
■ Edward T. Smith, 48, of 662 Oswegatchie Trail, Oswegatchie, was fined $75 and a $125 surcharge and Ronald G. Davenport, 34, of 667 Oswegatchie Trail, Oswegatchie, was fined $100 and a $125 surcharge after they pleaded guilty to reduced counts of unlawful possession of marijuana violations stemming from an incident July 5 at Robert Moses State Park.
New York State Park Police had charged Smith and Davenport with misdemeanor counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana for smoking marijuana in a public place after a foot patrol spotted individuals reportedly smoking marijuana from a large smoking device at their campsite.
■ Donald L. Hassig, 58, of 42 Green Pond Lane, Colton, paid his $250 fine and a $125 surcharge for a trespassing conviction. Following a jury trial earlier this summer before Judge Crandall, Hassig had been found guilty of trespassing May 30 at Massena Memorial Hospital.
Hassig had argued he was simply expressing his freedom of speech by handing out pamphlets on the dangers of chemicals in the environment to hospital when he was ordered to leave the hospital building by a senior administrator at Massena Memorial. Hassig was arrested and charged with trespassing a short time later after police were called to assist with Hassigs removal from the hospital.
Hassig indicated he was paying the fine and surcharge so he could get a certificate of disposition that would allow him to enter Canada. He had previously informed the court he needed to travel to Canada this fall. I have work to do in a remote part of Canada during the upcoming months. In order to enter Canada, I need to have all pending charges resolved and to have in my possession certificates of disposition, Hassig had written in a letter to the court earlier this year asking to have the trial on his trespassing charge scheduled before early September.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 11/25/07, 09:21pm:
For the Clippers, life without offensive options is starting to take its toll. Clipperblog missed the weekend's action, but is catching up on some game tape and doesn't see a whole lot of stuff here that would suggest things will get better next week.
There's a moment early in Saturday night's game against New Orleans after Kaman heads to the bench with his second foul that encapsulates just how undeniably screwed the Clippers are in their current predicament. Cassell tries to work a two-man game for Tim Thomas off the left block. Mobley is set up on the right side perimeter. Cassell gets it into Thomas in the post against Mo Peterson - a man three inches shorter than Thomas. Thomas immediately - and literally - punches the ball back toward Cassell. After Thomas reposts, Sam gets it back to him. Even though Stojakovic and West are giving Mobley all kinds of room on the perimeter, Sam never really looks for Cat. Thomas backs Peterson down with a right-handed dribble, but never leverages any advantage against Peterson. Once Chris Paul drops down to double-team him, Thomas kicks it back out to Cassell. West comes up to challenge Cassell, but Sam puts an easy ball-fake on the big man. Unfortunately, once Sam darts into the paint, the entire Hornets' defense pounces on him. Peterson easily strips the ball as Sam elevates and the court mics - better than ever this season, have you noticed? - pick up a desperate grunt from Sam that makes the playback even more excruciating to watch the second time.
The larger issue is this [forgetting Brand, Maggette, Knight, and Thornton's iffyness]: Six minutes into the game, the Clippers have their primary offensive weapon on the bench. They're running a two man game between their 47-year-old PG [his ballsy 26 point, 0 assist abbreviated performance in PHX notwithstanding] and a PF without a post game. The potential weak side scorer - gritty as he might be -- has a right adductor composed of Hubba Bubba. They could use their dynamic rookie scorer, except that he has a bum ankle that doesn't allow him to play more than 20 minutes a game right now. After that, there isn't anywhere else to look, which explains the drop to 22nd in offensive team efficiency.
It's very likely that the 2007-2008 Los Angeles Clippers won't again sit over .500, which is why I think it's healthier to write off the W-L column and, instead, view the season as a series of initiatives - which, I realize, reeks of HR/goofy-crackpot-self-empowerment speak. Just bear with me here. I'm not suggesting that you give up on the Clippers, or lose faith or engage in fair-weather fandom. It's merely a question of the best way to gauge success in a season like this one.
Here are two leading indicators I'll look at:
- Kaman's Defense: Chris is already a premier shot blocker, but that doesn't necessarily make him a brutish post defender [no more than a high SPG number makes a guy a great backcourt defender]. Earlier in his career, Chris was slow to recover on ball screens up top, and Dunleavy's affinity for traps didn't help matters. In the long run, there might have been an unintended benefit to this - Chris' sense of place on the defensive end is a lot more acute. He's more aware of precisely when he should give up on a trap and return to the block. He anticipates when an offense is going to run a screen at him and he uses his agility to avert it. So, in general, Chris has a much stronger instinct as to where he's supposed to be at a given instant. At times, though, Chris has a tendency to play the ball instead of playing the body. It happened Friday night against Stoudemire and a few weeks ago against Ilgauskas. Chris [a] has such a preternatural hunger to block the shot and [b] and is so determined not to get into the foul trouble, that he's forgetting that he has all the tools he needs to be a great down-low defender: size, a shot-blockers' timing, quick feet, and agility. As with everything else that surrounds Chris - the outstanding variable is his head.
- Thornton's Pro Game: We've seen that he has serious range from the floor - and he isn't afraid to chuck it up from beyond. We knew he had the hops to create - and we've already seen him fool some legitimate NBA defenders. What we haven't determined is the extent to which Al Thornton can work within the confines of an NBA offense. Every time Florida State came downcourt, Thornton touched the ball within ten seconds - and the understanding was that he'd be the last one to do so. But other than a couple of iso sets, there won't be a lot of stuff initially designed for Thornton in the Clippers playbook. He'll need to figure out where to be to collect the ball as Kaman kicks it out of the post; he'll need to learn how to navigate the baseline behind the post play to free himself up; Thornton would be well-advised to learn how to set an NBA-quality screen for his point guard so that might get some touches early in possessions. So far as evaluating progress, I'd watch Thornton's FG%, and whether he's getting himself to the line. Given Brand's absence and Dunleavy's willingness to go small with Thornton at the 4, it's also important to keep an eye on Thortnon's Rebounding Rate, as well.
Yao should give Chris plenty to work with on Monday night. And it's only a matter of time before Thornton evolves from curiosity to cog.

|Blevins, Trotman End Competition at NCAA Tournament
|Written by ASU Sports Information
|Saturday, 19 March 2011 13:10
Appalachian State University wrestlers Kyle Blevins (Sapulpa, Okla./Sapulpa) and Austin Trotman (Winston-Salem, N.C./Mount Tabor) have ended their run at the 2011 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa.Blevins took on a familiar foe in Virginia Tech's Pete Yates for his first 165-pound match of the day. Blevins and Yates were scoreless after the first period and the only point recorded in the second was an escape by Blevins. But in the third period, Yates escaped to tie up the match, but Blevins was able to take down Yates in the final period to secure a 3-1 decision.
Blevins was next matched up with Bekzod Abdurakhmonov (Clarion) after he defeated Donald Jones from West Virginia, 7-1.
Abdurakhmonov proved to be too much for Blevins as he was defeated by a 9-1 major decision. Abdurakhmonov took down Blevins and then nailed a three-point near fall to end the first period with a 5-0 lead. In the second, Blevins was taken down again by Abdurakhmonov, but escaped to bring the match to a score of 7-1. Abdurakhmonov escaped in the third and due to 3:24 worth of riding time was able to pull off the feat.
Abdurakhmonov faces the #4-seed Josh Asper from Maryland in his next match.
Blevins ends his season with a career-high 38 wins against nine defeats, tying him with Scott Ervin (2007-08) for most wins in a season all-time at Appalachian State. Blevins also moves his career tally to 84-38, good for seventh place in ASU history.
Like Blevins, Trotman was able to win his first 184 match by tallying a 3-1 decision over Rutgers's Daniel Rinaldi.
With a scoreless first period, Trotman escaped in the second to grab a 1-0 advantage. In the third, Rinaldi was able to tie the match up at 1-1 on an escape to send the bout into sudden victory. It did not take Trotman long to get the much needed points to end the match as he took down Rinaldi to earn a 3-1 sudden victory.
Trotman was pitted next against #10-seed Josh Ihnen (Nebraska) after he earned a 10-1 major decision over Erich Schmditke from Oklahoma.
Trotman was not able to get into a rhythm and fell to Ihnen, 8-1 for the major decision.
Ihnen went up 2-0 after the first period, but Trotman was able to not allow Ihnen to record anymore points in the second period. From there it was Ihnen. Ihnen notched back-to-back takedowns to take the lead, 5-0, but Trotman was able to escape for his only point of the match. Ihnen took down Trotman again for the 7-1 advantage and due to 2:24 worth of riding time, Ihnen was able to take the match.
Ihnen advances to face #1-seeded Christopher Honeycutt (Edinboro) in his next match.

The LG KF390 unlocked is a great slider Phone that has been made to help those that might live in rural areas. However, it also works really well for those living in the urban setting as well. It is a solid unit that will get the job done and is fairly easy to use. This was one of the first HSDPA 7.2 Mbps cellular phones to utilize the Telstra's Blue Tick, which enabled users not to have an external antenna in the regional coverage areas.
It is compact and sleek in its design and seems to be very durable. The spring, which opens the slider, is well made and very responsive. The only downside to this particular phone is that the front of the phone will be a haven for fingerprints. You may want to make sure that you have some of those screen cloths as you may have to keep it clean in order to see. It does come with a small keypad and the bonus is the keys are raised and easy to use. There are also some touch sensitive keys and shortcuts as well.
The Unlocked LG KF390 does have some basic web browsing but you may have some minor difficulties looking at some of the websites that have not been configured for mobile phones. It does have the basic multi-media functions and includes a music player but will not support A2DP Bluetooth. It does have the T9 predictive text input, a two megapixel camera and all the other tools such as the alarm clock, calendar, tasks and calculator. It will allow you to stay in contact with all of your social media as well as check on your email, send text messages and instant messaging. It is a cost effective handset and will provide you all of the basic functions.

RAYMONDVILLE - The Norfolk Post 925 Rovers geared up to host a weekend tournament by gaining a sweep over Malone Post 219 in an American Legion Baseball twinbill at Memorial Field on Tuesday.
The Rovers jumped out to a quick lead in the opener before settling for a 6-1 six-inning win. The nightcap, which went the full seven innings, saw them stage an overwhelming comeback as they reversed a 3-2 deficit with a six-run rally.
It wound up being a pretty nice day for us, noted coach Terry Paige after the Rovers raised their record to 5-7.
In the opening game, Cody Smith pitched the complete game victory, striking out 10 and walking four while limiting Post 219 to just two hits. Brandon Welch (9K, 6BB, 6H) went the distance in taking the loss.
Jordan LaShomb anchored the Norfolk offense going 2-4 with a two-run double which keyed a decisive three-run rally in the bottom of the second inning and two runs scored. Brandon Noble singled and came around to score a pair of runs. Patrick Manning and Connor Paquin each stroked an RBI-single. Smith had the other Rovers hit while Jake Mayette and David Phillips came around to score the other runs.
Malone was limited to a fourth-inning single by Blake Lewis before Welch launched a double off the bottom of the fence in left-centerfield to lead off the sixth. He moved to second on a groundout then scored on a throwing error to secondbase during a Malone steal attempt.
After allowing three runs over the first three innings, southpaw Ben Miller settled down to earn the complete-game win in the nightcap, finishing with six strikeouts and just one walk while scattering four hits.
Jacob St. Mary (4K, 4BB, 5H) lasted four and two-thirds innings in taking the loss. Zach Burnett came on to game the final out of the fifth inning before Jarod Moody worked a scoreless sixth in relief.
Post 219 took a 1-0 lead in the second then went ahead 3-0 when Welch deposited the ball well over the fence for a two-run homerun in the third. The Rovers countered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the third then took control of the game in the fifth where a two-run single by LaShomb sparked a six-run outburst. Miller had an RBI-double in the decisive surge while Tyler Haas and Brandon Noble each drilled RBI-singles.
Also contributing toward the winning offense were Mayette with two runs scored, Connor Prosper with a single and run scored, Kyler MacIntire with a run scored and RBI and Smith with an RBI. Miller, Haas and Noble also came around to score solo runs.
Jordan Yando got Malone on the board first with an RBI-single in the second inning. Alex Johnson singled and scored a run while Lewis had the other run scored in the losing effort.
The Rovers will now get set to host a weekend tournament starting on Friday when they take on the Clinton County Junior Mariners at 6 p.m. Other teams slated to be on hand include the Ogdensburg Maples, Malone Post 219, Watertown, Peru and the Ottawa Knights.

As campers, we were always thrilled when our counselors called out our names and handed us letters from friends. And while snail mail has given way to email, and our inbox is inundated with clothing queries rather than questions regarding our latest crush, we still get giddy when we hear from our fashionable and curious WhoWhatWear.com devotees. Knowing that, you can probably imagine how delighted we are to answer your many sartorial missives and present today's installment of What Was She Wearing: Answers!. Think of it as our version of a care package: filled to the brim with all of your favorite style stars and chock full of information about your most inquired-after outfits!
Diane Kruger
While promoting the Quentin Tarantino-helmed WWII flick, Inglorious Basterds at the The Regis and Kelly Show, on-screen femme fatale Diane Kruger looked fresh and fancy-free in a sweet crème frock. While we're fans of the tight bodice and voluminous skirt of her Short Sleeve Pleated Dress ($430) from Opening Ceremony, you, dear readers, really flipped for the seasonally appropriate shade of her sheath. Try ASOS' Fitted Waist Dress ($51) for a more budget-friendly ecru alternative to Kruger's chic selection; just remember to temper the light hue of the dress with tough black accessories. Kruger opted for 3.1 Phillip Lim's Edie Bow Purse with Gold Studs ($755, 310.358.1988)-an enviable and noteworthy selection from the designer's F/W 09 accessories collection-but you can also opt for ASOS' Pyramid Bag ($28) and a pair of Kimchi Blue's Woven Ballet Flats!
Agyness Deyn
Whether running around London or strolling the streets of New York, Agyness Deyn always appears at home in her collection of covetable vintage threads. While doing some shopping in New York's SoHo neighborhood earlier this month, Deyn sported one such piece, specifically a short dress featuring a tiny polka dot print. While her exact treasured find is one-of-a-kind, we can recommend Kimchi Blue's Animal Dress
($30), which comes in a look-a-like pattern and has a similar low-cut neckline. Deyn chose to complete her outfit with colorful accessories, such as Cabbage Rose's Canvas Sneakers
($20) and Katherine Fleming's Kate Shoulder Bag ($1950), but we think Topshop's Suede Tassle Shoulder Bag ($135) in blue would make an equally bold statement!
Rachel Bilson
Who What Wear: Celebrity and Runway Style for Real Life-contributor, Rachel Bilson, looked a little bit country and a little bit rock' n' roll while shopping in Los Feliz. The darling dresser combined The Gap's Gingham Shirt ($50) with a pair of Topshop studded denim cut-offs, which are unfortunately sold out. Instead, try Current/Elliott's The Boyfriend Shorts with Studs ($198) for a similarly embellished bottom option that will keep your stems looking hot and feeling cool during the remaining summer days. As for the rest of her outfit, Bilson rounded out her daytime ensemble with a pair of Mayle's two-toned peep-toe flats, Miu Miu's Nappa Quilted Bag with Studded Detail ($1595, 888.977.1900) and Etro's Printed Shopping Bag ($400, 212.317.9096). Though we love her high-end pieces, try Ralph Lauren Collection's Haylee Open-Toe Flats ($158) and Topshop's Stud Shoulder Bag ($125) to help you achieve a casually cool final result!
Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester proved that she certainly knows how to fly in style when she was spotted arriving at LAX late last week wearing some seriously high-impact accessories! Though she grounded her outfit with some sharp basics like MiH's Oslo Jeans ($235, 212.524.6790) in the Ligurian wash and Brian Atwood's Electra Boots ($813), her bright scarf and chic bags really make her outfit soar. We love her Sofia Coppola-designed Louis Vuitton Suede Asphalt Bag ($3730, 866.884.8866) and Nina Ricci's Agneau Pleated Besace Bag ($2750); however, if you are looking for something a little more wallet-friendly, try Christopher Kon's Rope Handle And Tassel Bag ($198). In non-bag news, Meester also wisely wore an oversized paisley scarf from Louis Vuitton to combat any overzealous in-flight air conditioning. Though her exact piece isn't being produced for retail, we like Marc Jacob's Large Woven Cashmere Scarf ($450), which has similar frayed edges and a lovely floral print as her designer pick, or try Old Navy's Multi Printed Scarf ($13) for an equally chic alternative to her hard-to-find cover up.-KM
