Twins hopeful Justin Morneau will start swinging again before Monday
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- The sputtering Minnesota Twins are hoping to get some pop back in their lineup in time for next week's road trip, but much of that depends on Justin Morneau's sore left wrist.
Morneau was placed on the disabled list earlier this week retroactive to May 1, and he received a cortisone shot after visiting a specialist in Cleveland determined the discomfort stemmed from inflammation.
Manager Ron Gardenhire told 1500 ESPN on Friday that Morneau was hoping to start swinging a bat before Monday. If all goes well the team is hopeful Morneau could make the trip to Detroit on Wednesday.
"If it doesn't feel right then we'll back it up a day," Gardenhire said. "The pace, I don't know if we have a formula here. We're going to let him tell us when he gets ready. He's going to grab a bat in his hand and if it starts feeling like it's OK then he'll take some swings. When that happens I'll tell you. I'm just going day-to-day with him. I'm going to let him decide those things."
Asked if a rehab assignment would be necessary, Gardenhire said, "I don't believe so. I don't think that's going to do his wrist any good. We'll just have to see how he's feeling. I don't think he's been out long enough to say a rehab assignment. A couple weeks here. ... If he starts swinging and it feels good I'd rather see him take his swings up here rather than somewhere else."
Morneau was hitting .230/.313/.459 with four home runs and five doubles prior to landing on the disabled list. He underwent surgery last September to stabilize a tendon in the wrist, and he spent much of the offseason and spring training trying to build up strength.
"It stretches our lineup out a little deeper (with Morneau in it)," Gardenhire said, "and it'd be nice to get him back."

I like to save money and my health on soups and stews that call for broth or stock. I usually half the amount of stock (for example, if it calls for 4 cups chicken stock, I use 2 cups), and use the remaining amounts in water. It doesn't effect the flavor, saves money, and its less sodium and calories!
Curry is a mixture of tumeric, coriander and cumin. Tumeric which helps IBS and colitis, ward off dementia, helps with arthritis and rheumatism Cumin helps flatulence, indigestion, diarrhea, nausea. Coriander lowers blood sugar naturally.
When making soups, stews and casserole I have found substituting Italian seasoning in place of salt makes for a lovely flavor.4
When making any soups, stews or chili's with beans mash them a bit once you've submerged them in the liquid. This naturally thickens the liquid to a great consistency! This will also cut down your use of "cream" soups or flour (which means less calories!) Bon Apetit!

Pack a lunch, feed a child for life
We started packing our children's lunch in first grade, after a year of giving the school lunch program a try.
Maybe it was the day I dropped by to eat lunch, bought a salad and bit into frozen lettuce. A teacher who always brought her own lunch saw me standing in line and said, "I can't believe you're going to eat that."
Maybe it was hearing that my kids had trouble getting a third fruit or vegetable, instead being steered to a less expensive dessert. And the cafeteria managers big selling point, that the school lunch was the cheapest option, didnt help matters. You get what you pay for.
Above all, though, we were tired of them eating the kind of food we would never serve at home: high in sodium, fat and sugar, heavy on red meat and cheese, milk from cows treated with artificial growth hormones to boost production, canned vegetables and fruit packed in syrup.
Although the federal school lunch program sets certain guidelines for school districts, it doesn't really enforce them. There are no real repercussions for districts that don't meet them, because that would mean withholding federal funds for lunch, which would leave children hungry.
Nobody wants to do that, so some schools keep dishing up the same old food: chicken nuggets, pizza, nachos with beef and cheese, burgers, sloppy joes and, at my childrens elementary school, the Friday fat and salt trifecta: Popcorn shrimp, macaroni and cheese and cornbread. Whats in them? More than two-thirds of a days maximum suggested sodium (more than a days worth for African-Americans, who are at higher risk of high blood pressure and kidney disease) and 55 percent of the daily max for saturated fat.
Its great that the corn dog is made from chicken and whole grains now instead of higher-fat beef sausaged in a refined-flour crust. But its still a corn dog.
So we pack. Today they're having homemade tomato soup with tortellini and fresh spinach, a roll, cucumbers, carrots and grape tomatoes from our garden. Last week I roasted a whole chicken and saved the meat for wraps, with grape tomatoes, pesto, lettuce and roasted eggplant and zucchini. Some weeks it's turkey sandwiches from a whole breast we roast; other weeks, they get deli meat that's not treated with additional nitrites or nitrates. Garden tomatoes on ciabatta with goat cheese, pesto and lettuce were on the menu recently. We spend more time than we'd like on preparing these lunches, but we want to make sure they get the kind of food that will teach good eating habits and set them up for a lifetime of healthy choices.
Many other parents are working to improve school meal choices, too, from their childrens lunch boxes to whats served in the cafeteria line. Some have started farm-to-school programs that connect cafeterias with fresh, locally grown produce. Some are working with a Whole Foods-sponsored program that offers suggestions and tools for improving lunch programs from Ann Cooper, who runs the famed Berkeley, Calif. school lunch program. Others worked with Slow Food USA to organize a national day of action with Labor Day eat-ins from Bellingham, Wash. to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
In October, Congress takes up the Child Nutrition Act, which covers school meals. It gets re-authorized every five years, with money set aside for breakfasts and lunches. But this year, there could be changes. After years of studying how to work the 2005 federal dietary guidelines into school meals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to come out with new standards that call for healthier meals. That could also come as soon as October. Many school districts already serve meals that work in more whole grains, vegetables, fruit and lean meats than in the past. Deep fryers are out; steamers and salad bars are in.
Depending on whom you believe, the School Nutrition Association, the trade group of meal planners, may be rethinking things as well. The School Lunch Blog offers a disappointing report from this year's convention, where junk food and breaded meat dominated. The New York Times reports encouragingly on efforts by the group to reach out to Ann Cooper and other advocates of change.
I'd like to think the Times is right on this, but change is slow to happen, especially in my school district in Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta. Here, children are invited to an annual vendor fair to sample and rate choices for next year's meals. I went a couple of years ago and saw table after table of chicken nuggets -- now breaded with whole grains! -- as well as breaded, fried green beans and other foods no sane parent would choose for their child. The idea is for children to pick their favorites, thereby ensuring that if schools serve the meal, kids will eat it.
It's an interesting dilemma: Get downgraded by state nutrition program staff because kids are throwing away food uneaten, or serve them food that may not be as healthy as other choices, to avoid waste? I'd feel sorry for the school meals program, except it also lets first-graders use their lunch money to buy ice cream, Doritos, cookies and Pop Tarts.
As parents, we make choices for our children because they lack the maturity to make those choices themselves. I wish every school district in the country would serve healthy meals to children and offer no bad choices in the lunch line, especially the district my children attend. Until that happens, we'll be packing their meals.

It comes with 1 squeaker in an inner pouch and 4 squeakers to use as replacements. When the squeaker doesn't work any more you open a hook and loop opening on the bottom, pull the pouch out and replace the damaged squeaker. Your dog will think you are a squeaker magician.

The best toys!!
Posted by Jennifer on 16th Jul 2014
My dogs are spoiled rotten. They have PILES of toys to choose from, but their absolute favorites are these Kong toys! My little Japanese chins just love these. They carry them around all the time. Then when my mom's dogs came to visit, they did the same thing and we had to get some for them too. These toys are adorable, super soft, and just the perfect size for them to carry around in their mouths, play with, or chew on. The squeaker is super easy to replace, with a velcro opening in the back of the toy. These toys are the ones my dogs don't think they can live without, so I like to keep lots of them around! :)

General FAQs...
What are Home Salvage Auctions, PowerHouses, and Leftovers, and how do they work?
- Click here for Home Salvage Auction procedures
- Click here for PowerHouse procedures
- Click here for Leftovers information
What are Murco's Terms of Sale?
- Click here to view the rules... AKA: Murco's Terms of Sale
I've never been to a Murco auction, what are they like?
- They're not your average shopping experience, that's for darn sure! If you're unfamiliar with the concept of demolition salvage auctions, check out this video from our show, Total Wrecklamation, for a visual overview!
Information for Buyers...
What do I need to bring to an auction?
- Aside from a positive attitude and coffee and doughnuts for the Murco Staff (kidding), you should bring your measurements (so you know what will work in your home), a form of payment (so you can pay for your items), and tools (so you can remove your new-to-you materials.) It also wouldn't be a bad idea to recruit some friends to help you remove and haul your purchases!
What forms of payment are accepted?
- Cold hard cash, credit cards, PayPal, wire transfer, and certified checks. We're flexible!
Who removes my purchases?
- You do, hot stuff! That's why they're cheap! Sometimes we have items that are already removed or will be removed for you, but in most cases you'll be the one responsible for extracting your purchases from the home. If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, we can help you find someone to do the dirty work for you. For removal tips, click here.
Will I be able to see the auction materials in person before bidding?
- For auctions, no. We post all of the auction details and photos we have on the website for you to check out beforehand. Then, on the day of the sale there is at least a 1/2 hour preview before the auction begins where you can get up close and personal with all the materials. Leftover items are usually seen by appointment only.
Where are the auctions and sales held?
- We operate throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, wherever the materials are located. If you're not from around here and wish to participate, contact us for more information.
I want to bid on something but I can't make it to the auction. What can I do?
- Contact us prior to the day of the auction and let us know what you're interested in and what your bids are. We'll either bid up to your maximum on your behalf or give you a call you during the live auction so you can participate from afar.
What is a buyer's premium?
- A buyer's premium is a typical fixture at auction houses and is a percentage attached to each sale. It's similar to a sales tax. For example, if you purchase something for $100.00 and there is a 10% buyer's premium, your total owed is $110.00.
Where are the minimum prices for auction items?
- Occasionally, we host a hybrid sale, in which we price materials beforehand that you can buy outright before auction. Or, we sometimes provide baseline prices for certain materials, and these baselines indicate the amount at which bidding will begin. However, in our traditional auctions, we do not disclose starting prices prior to the auction. In such cases, you can estimate that most items will start at about 20% of the traditional retail value. Where it goes from there is up to the market!
What happens to materials that don't sell at auction?
- Following each auction, unsold items will be posted in the Leftovers section of our website. Leftover items are often sold "first come, first serve," and they don't last long!
Where can I see everything available for sale?
- All the materials we have are part of an Upcoming Auction or PowerHouse Project, or they are Leftovers from a previous auction. We do not store any materials or have items on-hand at any given time. If you're looking for something specific and don't see it right now, you can regularly check in with out website. Better yet, you can register to receive Auction Alerts, which will alert you by email whenever we post new materials and projects.
I don't check your website everyday. Can I be alerted when you have stuff that I want?
- Of course! We have a Wish List feature that is sure to make your life a heck of a lot easier. A Wish List is an online checklist. You check categories of materials that you are interested in. Then, whenever we add inventory to the website that matches your list, you will receive an email telling you what we've got and how to view it. Easy-peasy. Click here to start your Wish List now!
What if the Wish List feature doesn't have a category of materials that I'm looking for?
- Reach out to email@example.com. We are always happy to add categories, provided that they are appropriate to our website. It never hurts to ask!
Information for Sellers (people with materials)...
I'm demolishing or renovating my home and am interested in having Murco hold an auction or sell my stuff. How do I get the ball rolling?
- Contact us! We'll ask you for the following info:
- Property address
- Estimated date of demolition or remodel
- Highlights of some of the available materials
- Photos
If we have the market for the materials you are offering, we'll schedule an appointment to come to your property, record inventory and photos, and get the process going. If we determine that we're not your best option, we'll tell you so, and then we will help you explore other options for your materials.
Does Murco buy my materials outright?
- No, we don't purchase your materials... our buyers do! As brokers, we facilitate the exchange of goods from your home to another, essentially "re-addressing" your materials. This means that you get paid once we sell make the sale.
I can't open the photo slideshows. What do I do?
- Check your browser pop-up settings. If that still doesn't work, you can try clicking the alternative links under the slideshow thumbnail to go directly to the full album. At any given time you can view all of our photo albums by clicking here. If for some reason you are told that you need permission to see the photos, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will sort out the issue ASAP.
I forgot my username and/or password to my murcorecycling.com account. What do I do?
- Email email@example.com and we'd be happy to help!
I accidentally unsubscribed from the newsletters. How can I subscribe again?
- It's easy, just log in to your account and click on the "Subscribe" button under your email subscription settings.
Odds and Ends...
Is Murco hiring?
- We're always accepting applications for enthused, motivated individuals to join our Weekend Warrior auction team. A Weekend Warrior is someone who could occasionally help us out on, you guessed it, the weekends! Responsibilities could range from being a part of the welcome wagon, to marking items as "SOLD," and beyond! And anyone can scout for us by finding our next auction. If you tip us off to a home going down, and we take on that property as a client, we'll give you $100!
I have a fundraiser, charity event, or other function that needs an auctioneer. Does Jodi do these types of auctions?
- Funny you should ask... why, yes she does! Jodi does occasionally trade in her work boots for ball gowns, auctioning, hosting, and MCing events for organizations like the Chicago MDA, Metropolitan Club Chicago, Friends for the Cure, Girls on the Run, Salt Creek Ballet, and more. Email Jodi Murphy directly at email@example.com for auctioneer inquiries.
Who's the voice behind email@example.com?
- That would be Madelyn, Murco's Operations Coordinator! She manages that email account, as well as any other Murco accounts besides Jodi's personal inbox. If you ever have any questions, comments, or general needs, she's your gal!
I'm a big fan of LinkedIn. Are you guys on there?
- We are linked in to LinkedIn! Just look up our names and we'll appear, like genies!
What happened to Total Wrecklamation? I loved that show!
- According to several sources, you can still catch episodes of Jodi and Total Wrecklamation on select Continental flights (talk about a captive audience!) and in the UK. However, we're no longer filming. But you can still catch the fun of the show at our auctions... cameras or not, we're doing our thing!
What's with the funny names on the newsletters? Who are these people?
- Back in the day when we were snail-mail based, subscribers would receive auction flyers with colorful characters like Hope & Seymour Ovyah and Aunt Zinyerpants as the return recipients. We used to do it to see if people were paying attention... but we continue it because it amuses us (and hopefully our readers!)
What vitamins does Jodi take?
- This is actually one of the most common questions! Anybody who's seen Jodi in action knows the gal's got energy...and they want to know what makes her so feisty so early in the morning. No vitamins or 5 Hour Energies here; her perk is 100% natural! If they could bottle it, it'd probably be illegal.

Cafe Society: Dietitian's cafe comes with a side of advice
If you think no one understands, much less heeds, the wisdom of what you do, try being a dietitian.
Few people, it seems, actually follow dietitians' well-meaning advice. (What? You mean it's NOT a good idea to eat chocolate for every meal?) Plus (attention, all you spelling bee kids), "dietitian" has got to be one of the most commonly mangled words in the English language.
But all of the above could be on a course for change, thanks to a convergence of three events and one Oxnard eatery called Fresh & Fabulous Café-Bakery.
First, March has been declared National Nutrition Month by the American Dietetic Association, which also has called dibs on Monday as Registered Dietitian Day. Thirdly, California Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) and other lawmakers last month reintroduced a bill that would require restaurant chains with 15 or more locations to list nutritional information such as calories and grams of fat for all standard items on their menus.
Emphasis is on that "on their menus" bit: Originally vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the reproposed bill calls for more than the nutritional-information posters now tacked next to the bathrooms at fast-food restaurants. Indeed, said restaurants would be required to post calorie counts on their menu boards, right next to the names of their respective burgers and buckets.
As a registered dietitian, Magda Weydt applauds any effort that helps people make good food "choices." But as owner of the aforementioned café-bakery and, again, as a registered dietitian, she knows firsthand that calories and fat-gram numbers are just part of the story.
"Seeing how many calories are in a milkshake versus a hamburger isn't going to tell them you should eat a salad," Weydt said with a laugh. "It doesn't tell them how to plan that meal, or how to combine the foods to make a healthier meal. Education does that, and I don't think that's something that's addressed enough in schools."
Weydt is doing her part by offering formal, one-on-one nutrition counseling and, less formally, a box-lunch program that helps patrons avoid the pitfalls of the office vending machine. The weekday lunches, which include a morning snack (choices include toasted pita chips with hummus), lunch (a salad or a sandwich such as turkey on seven-grain bread) and an afternoon snack (sliced pear with Gorgonzola), may be ordered on her Web site, http://myfreshandfabulous.com, then picked up at the cafe at the start of each day.
Located in a corner of the renovated Woolworth Building that (very) briefly housed another bakery, Fresh & Fabulous shares the first floor with the Woolworth Museum, a collection of dime store memorabilia displayed in a lobby that separates it from another eatery, The Experi-Mental Cafe. The lobby leads to the restrooms, which building owner David Feigin has outfitted with such cheeky novelties as a vintage, wall-mounted machine that dispenses little dollops of hand cream.
In that same spirit of fun, Weydt has added Saturday Tea to the Fresh & Fabulous lineup. The by-reservation service is available from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes "light" and "full" tea options, both with tea sandwiches, scones with cream and assorted sweets, calories be darned.
Fresh & Fabulous is at 212 W. Fourth St., Oxnard. Regular hours are 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturdays. Call 486-4547.
ROLL OUT THE BEER BOTTLES: The place may be called Wades Wines, but from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, the industrial-park shop at 30961 W. Agoura Road, Suite 321, in Westlake Village will be the site of a beer tasting featuring assorted brews from Ireland. And on March 20, Beer Thursday will include microbrews from Victory, Pizza Port and Bear Republic. Call 818-597-9463.
Drink from the tap — well, almost — at 1 p.m. Saturday, when Regal's Wine & Spirits, 655 E. Ojai Ave., Ojai, taps a cask of Firestone Walker ale and pairs the results with barbecued tri-tip, chicken and bratwurst. Call 646-1700.
Members of the Ventura Independent Beer Enthusiasts, or VIBE, will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Anacapa Brewing Co., 472 E. Main St., Ventura. Sure to be on the agenda: making plans for the Southern California Homebrew Festival, slated for May 2-3 at Lake Casitas. For VIBE information, call 382-6418.
PUT A STEAK IN IT: When he put a 34-ounce, dry-aged, bone-in rib-eye steak called The Tomahawk on the menu at Cafe Firenze in Moorpark, chef and co-owner Fabio Viviani thought he'd be sending a lot of people home with doggie bags. He wasn't counting on Simi Valley resident Jim Graue, who managed to down the dish after polishing off a calamari appetizer — and still had room for a piece of chocolate cake.
So chef Viviani threw down the gauntlet: He procured a 61-ounce rib eye and invited Graue back for a red meat rematch last Friday. The result? Graue stepped outside for some fresh air at the three-quarter mark, but he managed to finish with flying forks and knives — and friend Dean Schaefer of Moorpark was there to catch it all on video.
Edited to music from "Rocky," the resulting video will make its public debut around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at Cafe Firenze, 563 W. Los Angeles Ave. Until then — and for information about the restaurant's more modestly proportioned dishes — call 532-0048 or click on http://www.cafefirenze.net.
WINE TIME: John and Carmel Whitman of Old Creek Ranch Winery in Oak View learned this week that Caltrans has denied a request to replace their signs at Highway 33 and Old Creek Road. The signs were removed late last year during a dispute over the status of the winery's tasting room. But the tasting room is open and winery operations continue: On Saturday, friends of the winery will help bottle its ice wine, a dessert wine made by pressing frozen riesling grapes. Call 649-4132.

Quick Tip! What Does It Mean to Be VESA Compliant?
VESA stands for the
Video Electronics Standards Association
and it's important for the consumer. VESA is comprised of over 300 member companies who set standard technical specifications for the video electronics market. In this case, a VESA pattern refers to an industry interface for hole patterns on the back of the monitor, screen or display. These hole patterns will fit any mounting device whether for VESA wall mounts, desktop or ceiling mounts. All of OSD TV mounts note the VESA pattern directly in the specs. That way you won't pull your hair out trying to figure out why your new big screen TV won't fit the new mount you just bought.

There are many reasons people choose destination weddings. They are typically less expensive than a traditional wedding, they are usually in a tropical environment + they are just as beautiful, if not more stunning, than the wedding you would have at home.
Tahiti falls under all these categories + one of the other great benefits of a wedding in Bora Bora is, if you choose, you can simply stay an extra week
+ continue your honeymoon in the same location.
Many people choose destination weddings to save money. Having a wedding in Bora Bora can save you enough money to afford a wonderful honeymoon in this tropical paradise. But don't think you lose anything because it is less expensive. A wedding here is 5-star all the way + you will most likely get even better service, accommodations + cuisine than you would at home.
Accommodations, airport transfers, activities + spa treatments are all included with a destination wedding package to Tahiti; + not just for you but for your guests as well. It's great to not have to worry about any of the wedding coordination but it's even better to know that your travel concierge will make things just as easy for all your guests.
Destination weddings are great for any wedding, but many people these days are choosing them for their second go around. People who have already gone through the big wedding one time don't like to go through that process when they marry again. Having a destination wedding in Tahiti is a hassle free wedding that will give a fresh perspective + added touch of romance to their new nuptials + make their new love unique, intimate + special.
There is really no downside to a destination wedding in Tahiti. Inexpensive, tropical, 5-star service + everything coordinated for you. It's a win-win trip for everyone involved + one of the most beautiful locales you'll ever come across.

Saudi Vice Patrol Gears Up For a Summer of Enforcement
What will get you potentially jailed or publicly flogged? Punishable vices range from: alcohol consumption, prostitution, keeping shops open during prayer time, congregating in public with a non-related member of the opposite sex, and driving . . . if you're a woman.
Luckily for everyone, especially women who need to get somewhere, change is slowly coming to the Islamic country. King Abdullah appointed a new head of the religious police who is thought to be more moderate. The group also hired outside marketing experts to help it soften its image and apologized for arresting a man that kissed his wife in a parking lot. But like I said, the change is coming slowly — the virtue police have yet to abandon plans to install video cameras in malls to keep a better eye on people.

Dear Domai,
With my previous experiences it seems to me that women blessed with beauty have the hardest time accepting it.
My close friend Tracy is a twenty-two year old college student with everything a young girl can want: great parents, a steady part-time job, a memorable childhood, a promising future, good friends, and blessed with beauty all over her. She has a gorgeous face with an amazing body. Both boys and men are always taking a glimpse of her beauty when they can. We males love looking at beautiful girls if it is shared.
Recently I was walking with her and I noticed something different with her. I have been noticing something awkward about her for a while although this made me want to speak up. I asked her if things were going okay with her or not. She responded with an immediate, "No, I'm okay." At that point I knew she wasn't her self, so I stopped our walk and started to point out her slow walking and her slumped head. I asked if the problem was about school, at home, or something else. Then I asked, "What's up?" She then started to unfold her self.
I was put at ease knowing she could speak to me about a problem troubling her so much lately. I was soon stunned to hear of her problem. She first started to tell me of how she was having a hard time with her self lately. She said she didn't see her self as a beautiful girl lately. She told me how others were giving her this impression. The examples she gave me was that she noticed guys not looking at her like before and how long of a time it has been since her last relationship. She is a tough girl, yet she also told me of a classmate being rude to her at times. "The things he says doesn't create this problem I'm having, but all of the little things do," she expresses.
Right away I told her that boys have a hard time trying to be nice, let alone being themselves, around girls they find attractive. This classmate probably finds you very attractive and wants to talk to you while taking the risk of not being himself. Next time tell him how you feel. With that, I told her she is beautiful and to never think otherwise. She replied with, "It isn't that easy."
I interrupted her by telling her it is. Then I told her if I could tell her the secret of being beautiful. She smiled in disbelief and told me to proceed. I told her that it is all about her inner beauty she has inside of her. If a girl has accepts the beauty in side of her then it will show on the outside. It will show in her smile, in her posture, in everything she does. It will also show in how she takes care of herself and how she presents herself.
To find the beauty outside of you, you need to first penetrate the surface and find it inside of you. When this happens others will know. For instance, guys enjoy looking at women who share their beauty with a smile. There is nothing enjoyable about looking at a girl who hides herself. To repeat, it starts with you accepting yourself. If you are not accepting yourself then your own beauty will be harder and harder to find.
There was a long pause after that and then we resumed walking. On our way we passed three guys surrounding a single girl. My head turned to look. I wasn't looking to see what was happening, but simply the beauty the girl was omitting off. Her slim body wearing short shorts, a white blouse, and her arms crossed over her chest with some textbooks in her hands made her seem so complete. There was something captivating about her laugh and the way she looked into others. I turned to see that Tracy was also admiring the beauty the girl had to offer. Then she smiled. It is so amazing to get so much information from a single smile, for when she smiled I received her understanding what I previously said to her. I also received her beauty she has inside of her. It was difficult for me to look away.
The difference between being beautiful and not is simply if a girl wants to accept it or not, and then sharing it.
Sincerely Sal C.
p.s. I saw a difference in Tracy that very next day.

Chief financial officers of more than 100 large and small engineering firms are forecasting 4% average annual growth for the group in 2009, the lowest average since 1996, according to a survey by New York City-based industry management consultant EFCG Inc. The firms, which had 2008 revenue totaling $43 billion, are more optimistic about prospects in 2010, expecting 5.5% growth. CFOs had expected 10% revenue growth for 2008 in the same survey done a year ago, says EFCG President Paul J. Zofnass. Among respondents, 59% say their current outlook for 2009 was unchanged from a few months ago, while 32% say it is worse and 9% better. CFOs expect average profit margins of 10.8% this year, down from actual margins of 11.5% in 2008. Respondents also project 10% growth in their 2009 federal-sector revenue, up from 8% last year. They also forecast a 5% hike in state- and municipal-sector revenue this year, down from 8% in 2008, but they see no change in private-sector sales. More than 75% of CFOs reported contract delays, slowdowns or cancellations, but only seven said they were cutting staff and only 24 report having a "formal" recession- planning program.

Over at BBH Labs there having a brilliant discussion on the subject of "The Big Idea" and wheter or not it is dead, or perhaps just deserves to die. The level of thought and intelligence, on both sides of the argument, is staggering. Just about everything worth saying on the subject is said, either in the post or in the fantastic comments, but I would like to add my two cents.
My interpretation of a Big Idea is one that facilitates the creation of a Deeply Immersive Narrative Universe (DINU). Here's what I mean by that: Does the idea create an environment where other people, both professional and consumers, want to – and have the ability to – build upon the existing concept, making it richer?
This can take many forms. Star Wars is a big idea. It started as a movie, but has become the Star Wars Universe with books, cartoons, video games and fan groups. At this point George Lucas is responsible for a mere fraction of the Star Wars-related content that is out there. His creation has taken on a life of its own and will more than likely outlive him.
As a brand, Barack Obama became a big idea. The Will.i.am video, the Shepard Fairy poster – these were created outside the official Obama campaign but came to represent not only what he stood for, but for the man himself.
A DINU creates a landscape where the idea generators (writers, marketers, artists, etc.) intentionally leave space for consumers to play an active role in the life of the idea. I think by its very nature a Big Idea today has to be one that allows for a DINU to take shape. The truth of the matter is, a good idea will be grabbed by consumers, the tools are too readily available. If you recognize this in advance, plan for it and even assist consumers, you'll have an excellent chance of having your good idea become a Big Idea.

(DEAL DEAD) GF3+14-42mm X lens for $349 on eBay!
That is the hottest GF3 deal ever seen! The GF3 with 14-42mm X pancake zoom lens sell for $349 on eBay US (Click here ->limited quantities only). The camera ships to US and Canada only. That's $150 less than the same kit on Amazon (Click here) and even less than the single 14-42mm X lens only! The eBay store is actually the same of the GH2 $579 superdeal!
As European I am now 100% frustrated that you US guys can always enjoy deals like that. At Amazon Germany and Amazon UK the price is around 600 Euro!
Thanks Matt

Dioressence by Christian Dior
I rarely enjoy dating myself. But, I will say I first was introduced to Dioressence in the 1970's when I was in my early twenties. My mother balked that it was too matronly for a young lady. I found it sophistocated and romantic, and still do!

Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Behind a career-high 30 points from Mikh McKinney, the Sacramento State Hornets took down the Portland State Vikings, 77-71, in Big Sky Conference action at The Nest.
McKinney shot 13-of-18 from the field for Sacramento State (12-10, 7-7 Big Sky), which has won back-to-back games. Joe Eberhard added 12 points for the hosts, while Konner Veteto tallied 10 points and seven rebounds.
For Portland State (5-16, 3-11), Lateef McMullan recorded 17 points and five assists, while Aaron Moore logged a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Gary Winston and Renado Parker netted 13 and 12 points, respectively.
Sacramento State led by as many as 12 in the first half and went into intermission with a 38-32 advantage. Both teams shot greater than 50 percent from the field in the frame.
Portland State climbed back in the game thanks to a 12-0 run early in the second half. The Hornets were down by one, 65-64, with less than three minutes remaining before they ripped off a 10-0 spurt to pull away.
The Vikings committed just 10 turnovers on the night, but the Hornets took even better care of the ball with only four miscues.

One of my favorite bloggers and dear blogger friend, Annie from Annie's Eats is expecting her second baby in just a few months! I'm so incredibly excited for her and can't wait to "meet" sweet Caroline! Annie's Virtual Baby Shower came up just at the right time since I have been absolutely dying to make these chocolate malt sandwich cookies and I knew they would be the perfect addition to an appetizer and dessert shower. I knew our host, Courtney, would be making a cake for the shower so I figured a big plate of chocolaty cookies would be go over well…and I knew that Annie would love them since she's a huge fan of chocolate desserts and sandwich cookies of all kinds.
The cookies are simple as anything to put together. You make your chocolate malt cookie dough, bake the cookies, and let them cool. Meanwhile, you whip up some chocolate malt filling, chill it for 30 min, whip it up, and fill your cookies. And you're done! Even better than how simple they are, these are quite possibly the best cookies I've ever eaten. And this isn't just my opinion. The weekend I made them, I had my cousins up for a visit and when two teenagers tell you this was the best cookie they had EVER eaten, you know you've got a good thing going. My cousin, Mariah, had been waiting for over a year to make them with me since we first came across the recipe and these cookies fully lived up to every expectation. As expected, they are fantastically chocolaty but the malted milk powder adds an extra layer of depth and flavor to the chocolate that you don't expect by just looking at them. Not surprisingly, these sandwich cookies went fast. So fast that we made a second batch the following day just so Mariah could take a few of them back to school with her in Providence. I hope they survived the car trip!

Chocolate-Malt Sandwich Cookies
source: adapted from Martha Stewart, Cookies
Yields: 18-20 sandwiches
As with most of the specialty baking items I need, my go-to store is King Arthur Flour and that's where I purchased the malted milk powder from. If you're in a pinch and can't wait a few days for it to be shipped, you can use Ovaltine but you should know that Ovaltine contains cocoa whereas regular malted milk powder does not. For the record, I have not been able to find malted milk powder in any of the grocery stores around me, nor in Whole Foods.
For the cookies:
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 cup plain malted milk powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons hot water
For the filling:
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup plain malted milk powder
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking soda, and salt. With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in egg, sour cream, and hot water. Reduce speed to low; mix in flour mixture.
Space tablespoon-size balls of dough 3 1/2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until flat and just firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on parchment on wire racks.
To make the filling:
While the cookies are baking, melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simming water, stirring. Let cool. With an electric mixer, beat malted milk powder and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually mix in half-and-half, chocolate mixture, and vanilla. Refrigerate, covered, until thick, about 30 minutes. Beat on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. After chilling, the filling will be very thick and dark but as soon as you start to beat it, the color will begin to lighten and the filling will become very fluffy.
To assemble the cookies:
Match up cookies of similar sizes into pairs. Using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the filling onto the bottom of one cookie. Sandwich with another cookie until the filling pushes to the edges of the cookies. Repeat with remaining pairs of cookies. Cookies can be kept at room temperature between layers of parchment in airtight containers up to 3 days. (Though it's doubtful they will last this long!)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger had every reason to have confidence at the Big 12 tournament.
The Sooners had rolled into the Sprint Center with three straight wins. They'd had by all accounts a solid week of practice. And they were facing on fresh legs a team that had been pushed in the second half by TCU the previous night.
So much for all of that.
Baylor raced out to a 21-point lead early in the second half Thursday night, and then held on after a frantic rally by the No. 17 Sooners for a 78-73 victory and a spot in the semifinals.
"I thought we entered the ball game in the right frame of mind," said Kruger, the Big 12 coach of the year. "I liked our guys' fight to get back into it, and we had a little bit of a look at it. But they deserved it more than we did."
Cameron Clark scored 19 points and Buddy Hield had 15 for the second-seeded Sooners (23-9), who got within 72-68 on Hield's 3-pointer with 1:27 left, and had a chance to get even closer when Royce O'Neale turned it over for Baylor. But a 3-pointer by Jordan Woodard with about a minute left was off the mark, and O'Neal came through with a pair of free throws.
Oklahoma had a couple of open layups on the ensuing possession, but opted to toss it out to Clark for a 3-pointer. He missed it, the Sooners had to foul again and Brady Heslip – one of the best free-throw shooters in the Big 12 – knocked down two more to help the seal the win.
"We just got too comfortable, it feels like," Clark said. "We have to come out aggressive from the start, like we have nothing to lose."
Isaiah Austin scored 18 points for the No. 7 seed Bears (23-10), who became the first lower-seeded team to win in this year's tournament and will play Texas on Friday night.
O'Neal added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Bears. Kenny Chery finished with 12 points and seven assists, and Heslip also finished with 12 points.
"That's when we're at our best," Chery said, "when we're sharing the ball."
It was the ninth win in 10 games for Baylor, which has gone from NCAA tournament bubble to knocking on the door of the Big 12 title. The Bears are in the semifinals for the fifth time after ending a four-game skid against the Sooners that included a pair of losses this season.
The Sooners were tied for the Big 12 scoring lead at better than 82 points per game, but they shot just 38 percent in the first half and were thoroughly dominated on the glass.
Baylor took advantage of the cold start to score the game's first 10 points. It maintained that comfortable advantage until the closing minutes of the first half, then used a 10-2 run that helped the Bears carry a 47-31 lead into the locker room.
The lead grew to 21 points in the opening minutes of the second half, the Bears capping a surge with an alley-oop dunk by Austin that brought their smattering of fans to their feet.
Oklahoma finally started to show a pulse, though.
Isaiah Cousins hit a 3-pointer and Clark scored three straight baskets, the last on a stylish dunk in transition. By the time Tyler Neal scored on a nifty scoop shot in the paint, the Sooners had embarked on a 13-2 run.
The Bears answered with a flurry of their own, but a basket by Cousins with about three minutes left and a 3-pointer by Hield – who had been 1 for 7 from the arc at that point – got the Sooners within 69-64 and started to give coach Lon Kruger's boys reason to believe.
Baylor was solid from the foul line down the stretch, though, and will now try for its third win in as many days in Friday night's semifinal game.
"To me, this is more wide open than it's ever been," said Baylor coach Scott Drew, who picked up his 201st win to tie Bill Henderson's school record. "That's what makes this year's tournament so exciting. It doesn't matter who we play. We're just glad to be playing."

Euroleague Final Four: Nike International Junior Tournament
by: Luis Fernández - Director of International Scouting, Jonathan Givony - President
May 11, 2008
A recap of the top prospects seen at the Nike International Junior Tournament played parallel to the Euroleague Final Four in Madrid last week. FMP Zeleznik, led by
Bojan Subotic
Dejan Musli
Andrija Milutinovic
continues to crush any competition they face at the junior level in Europe. Cibona Zagreb's
Tomislav Zubcic
and Zalgiris'
Donatas Motiejunas
were standouts.
Tomislav Zubcic
, 6-11, SF/PF, Cibona Zagreb, 1990
Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress.com
Arguably the most impressive performance of any prospect at the Nike International Junior Tournament might have come from 6-11 Croatian forward
Tomislav Zubcic
. Its not like this came by surpriseweve been talking about how talented this kid is
since he was 16 years old
, but he just hadnt quite put everything together in an international tournament yet like he did here in Madrid, at least not from a mental standpoint.
Weve written about Zubcics physical tools beforehes long, athletic, with great size (listed at 7-feet here), but with a game more reminiscent of a small forward. He did everything on the court for Cibonabreaking the press, moving the ball around unselfishly, knocking down 3-pointers and blowing past his man with a very nice first stephis versatility is pretty extraordinary for a player this age, particularly at his size. Zubcic can execute advanced moves that players much older than him struggle with until much later in their careercoming off screens and creating sharp separation off the floor with a fluid pull-up jumper for example, and banking the shot in from a tough angle off the glass for good measure.
Zubcics feel for the game is what sets him apart at this point, along with his excellent skill-set, and he regularly showed that by making pinpoint passes from the perimeter into the post with absolutely no hesitation. He sees the floor extremely well at his height, and showed no problem moving the ball around the court fluidly, despite clearly being his teams most talented scorer. Zubcic likes to shoot the ball from the perimeterhe went 5/15 in three games from behind the arcand also showed great touch from the free throw line knocking down all 16 of his attempts.
In the post, he doesnt have much footwork to speak of--mostly preferring to attempt turnaround jumpers, and looking too skinny and a bit too soft to use his size effectively enough here. Hes an excellent ball-handler with either hand, particularly in the open floor, and is capable of creating his own shot from the perimeter with a nice first step and solid creativity. He does struggle finishing in traffic at times, partially due to his lack of strength, and partially due to his lack of toughness.
Zubcics biggest issues have always been his rebounding and poor defensive play, along with the lack of intensity and assertiveness he shows to fully take advantage of his terrific talent. Rebounding definitely wasnt a problem here in Madridhe averaged nearly 16 rebounds per game in this tournamentand we can attribute a lot of this to the improved intensity he brought to the floor. He made a conscious effort to crash the glass as much as he could despite his skinny frame, and showed really nice timing (and excellent hands) in the process to go along with his already promising quickness and length. Defensively he struggled at times, not doing a great job on the pick and roll and getting bodied up inside. He lacks the lateral quickness to effectively guard small forwards, but still isnt strong enough to function as a full-time power forward yet either. Who is he going to guard exactly? will be the operative question here, we can already predict.
NBA teams have seen European prospects in this mold (the perimeter oriented, but soft combo forward who does everything except defend) emerge over the past few years
Toni Kukoc
comes to mind, but
Andrea Bargnani
s struggles are a lot fresher in peoples minds. Thats why people will be very skeptical about Zubcic moving forward, until he proves otherwise, which is why hell probably have to have some real success in Europe first if hes to reach his full potential draft-wise. He could get drafted very high sometime down the road, but well have to wait and see how his frame and especially his all-around game develops first. Its a healthy thing to be carefully skeptical about players like this these days, and there is really no reason from his end also why he should be in any real rush.
Donatas Motiejunas
, 7-0, PF/C, Zalgiris Kaunas, 1990
Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress.com
There was nothing surprising about Motiejunas performance in the Nike International Junior Tournament, meaning that he delivered his usual stuff-- emerging as one of the very top performers, while looking like arguably the most promising junior seen in Madrid. Besides, his team Zalgiris was the only squad able to give a serious fight to the almighty FMP Zeleznik, following his leadership.
Motiejunas showcases a dreamed combination of length and skill set. Visibly standing in the seven-feet area, he also enjoys a nice wingspan and an excellent frame to build upon. If hes not a super bulky inside player, hes still a lengthy big with enough strength to operate in the paint and the athleticism to fuel his versatility.
In this tournament, Motiejunas operated mainly in the low post, exhibiting a superb ability to score around the rim. The Lithuanian shows very nice footwork and footspeed, the will to seek for physical contact, and a phenomenal ability to put the ball in the net with either hand. Indeed his touch with his off hand is a thing of beauty, which makes him virtually ambidextrous around the rim. The way the ball leaves his hands gives the expression soft touch a whole new meaning, gently dropping it on the basket so if it hits the rim, there is a good chance it will still go in.
His jumper was another story. Usually a pretty reliable spot-up shooter, he suffered an awful tournament in this regard, even looking frustrated at times. The lefty also went for some off-the-dribble attempts, that he can also knock down with excellent mechanics, but obviously didnt work either. He did put the ball on the floor, not as often as in past occasions, but still showing his excellent quickness and coordination (he performed a few great reverse moves).
Motiejunas makes basketball look easy, not only when he goes for his points, but also finding his teammates within the flow of the game. He has no trouble delivering passes from a variety of situations, and even tries behind the back dishes and stuff like that. Defensively, hes not the most consistent player; but he showed nice activity. Obviously, he does have not any problem of mobility and length, he just needs to stay more focused and physical with his opponents (which will be easier for him as he fills out his frame.)
Anyway, the Lithuanian keeps showing a peculiar character. He gets way too easily frustrated with calls or game situations, which probably make him lose focus. Besides, he doesnt always stay equally intense, sometimes depending on the momentum of the game. Which looks pretty clear is that Motiejunas still needs to gain a degree of maturity on court.
Dejan Musli
, 7-0, Center, FMP Zeleznik, 1991
Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress.com
Really not a whole lot has changed with
Dejan Musli
since the last time we saw him, and despite his extremely tender age of 17, there are question marks regarding whether much will change in the near future as well from what we can tell. Were still talking about the same skyscraper of a teenager, with a body reminiscent of a 25-year old. He was able to produce effectively in this tournament in short stretches, before exploding in the final game for a 25 point, 14 rebound, 4 block outing that landed him MVP honors.
Fairly slow, not super fluid, and lacking some aggressiveness, Musli doesnt have much of a problem regardless dominating in a setting like this due to his terrific size, combined with his excellent hands and very solid finishing ability. He was a very reliable presence in the paint for his guards to drop the ball off to on drive and dish plays, and therefore was able to knock down 24 of his 43 shots in four games (56%). He also stepped outside from time to time to attempt a mid-range or long-range jump-shot, and saw mostly mixed results in the process. The fact that he almost took out a ball-boy by air-balling a free throw badly tells you that this part of his game is still being developedhe only hit 11 of his 24 attempts at the line.
Musli might not be the most active player youll find (he looks a bit bored or apathetic at times running up and down the court), but he has solid reflexes and surprisingly good passing ability, as he showed from time to time with some Sabonis-esqe bounce passes. He also averaged 12 rebounds per game over four days, looking very solid going after everything in his area, but not being quite as dominant as you might think considering his huge size and strength advantage. Defensively, his extremely heavy feet limit his potential staying in front of quicker players or stepping outside to hedge a screen, and he also lacks the explosiveness to project as a great weak-side shot-blocker down the roadalso he did his part and then some in this tournament, with nearly 4 blocks per game.
Clearly an outstanding prospect for Europe, Musli will surely play in the NBA if he so desires, but there are some question marks about how high his ceiling is. His physical maturity and ridiculous strength advantage make you wonder about his long-term upside, even if its clear that at age 17, he still has quite a bit to improve upon.
Ryan Richards
, 6-10, PF/C, Real Madrid, 1991
Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress.com
Considering that the other top prospects here were pretty well known,
Ryan Richards
was one of the most interesting features in advance of this Nike International Junior Tournament. And while he had some productive games, he didnt blow away people with his performances, leaving some mixed feelings about his talent and feel for the game.
First of all, we have to always take into consideration his youth, as Richards is a 1991-born player, but still he surprised with a pretty strong frame for his age, especially his upper body, despite being reportedly a rather skinny guy not long ago. He stands 6-10 and could be done growing (he looks physically rather mature); its nice size, but not outstanding considering his array of skills and his average athleticism, although he does enjoy a mammoth wingspan.
Left-handed, Richards showed a decent perimeter stroke, displaying increasing consistency as the tournament advanced, from the mid-range area and out to the three-point line. However, he didnt look like a face-up player, and if hes not shooting the ball, chances are you will see him bruising in the low post. Not a finesse player, he relies on his strength, his length, some basic footwork and a certain ability to finish with his left hand, to get the job done. His footwork is pretty raw, and he really doesnt have much in the ways of moves at this point.
On defense he looked again pretty physical, and was probably the most successful player guarding the MVP
Dejan Musli
all tournament long. His length and size also makes him a very solid rebounder. In the team setting, his poor awareness stood out at times, though, particularly when forced to step out and hedge a screen or rotate in the post. Hes not the most reactive player youll find.
You can feel the game doesnt come easily to Richards. He doesnt look like the most naturally gifted player, and his decision making often looks underwhelming. Hes not much of a passer, and generally speaking, his team Real Madrid had a pretty disappointing showing compared to what we had witnessed in LHospitalet. Despite his very solid production, Richards might be partially to blame.
Bojan Subotic
, 6-8, Power Forward, FMP Zeleznik, 1990
From a pure production standpoint, there was no better player in this tournament that
Bojan Subotic
. Extremely mature despite being six months shy of his 18th birthday, incredibly smart and superbly versatile, there is absolutely no question that Subotic will find a way to become an outstanding basketball player one way or another down the road. Hes an undersized power forward in the Eddie Najera mold, but with a developing perimeter game that might give him a chance to become a
Linas Kleiza
type power-wing in time.
Subotic does everything you can ask a player to do on the floorhe can take his man off the dribble, knock down 3-pointers, score inside seeking out contact and using his body superbly, pass the ball, rebound in traffic or play solid pick and roll defense. He is confident, extremely aggressive, and savvy enough at his age to already know the little tricks he needs to utilize to get by as an undersized 4-man. Hes surely not a great athlete, but has the timing, toughness and feel for the game to get by at this level without a problem. His footwork is excellent, as is his body control, and hes constantly fighting to gain his team advantages on the floor.
Not particularly big, strong or explosive, Subotic doesnt project as a future NBA player on first glance, but hes also not the kind of guy you want to write off. He has four more years until hes automatically eligible for the draft, and hell definitely have to become a lights out shooter (which hes not at this point) and an extremely productive high level European player to have a real chance. One way or another, youre definitely going to hear his name again.
Nikola Mirotic
, 6-10, Power Forward, Real Madrid, 1991
Mirotic came to the Nike IJT bearing some very high expectations after his outstanding showing last January in the prestigious LHospitalet Tournament. And while he wasnt quite able to live up to them, he wasnt a disappointment either.
Mirotic again showed his excellent ability to operate facing the basket, mostly to put the ball on the floor with his dominant left hand, knock down 3-pointers, and shoot turn-around jumpers. He has an excellent feel for the game, a high skill level, and is extremely aggressive trying to make things happen for his team.
He struggled a little bit trying to adjust to the presence of brand-new teammate
Ryan Richards
(which forced him outside even more), and looked a little predictable at times using strictly his left hand. He has good length and a decent frame, but doesnt enjoy the upside of some of the other big men here due to his limited athletic ability. He had trouble defending the pick and roll, showing poor lateral quickness, and seemed to lack some quickness and explosiveness to get himself high-percentage looks at the basket on a regular basis. This probably wasnt the best weekend hes had, but some scouts we talked to who were very familiar with him said it will take a lot more than this to erase the excellent impression he left at LHospitalet a few months back.
Papa Abdoulaye
, 6-10, PF/C, Axa Barcelona, 1990
Showing up in Madrid without his inside African buddy
Michel Diouff
Papa Abdoulaye
enjoyed more chances to showcase his abilities, but ended up exposing his extremely raw game.
Nobody will argue about his superb physical tools. Enjoying nice size, he possesses a terrific wingspan and a nicely built and already pretty strong frame, a lot better than your typical skinny African. On the other hand, his well-developed body only fuels the uncertainty about his real age.
Anyway, when it comes time to play basketball, Abdoulaye has little to offer. The most intriguing part about his game is probably his jumper, which he seems to be working hard on, having delivered pretty orthodox mechanics with a high release point while showing decent accuracy (actually solid if we talk about the charity stripe). He also tried to produce from the low post, but struggled here noticeably to get anything going, as he doesnt enjoy the footwork and the basketball IQ to take advantage of his body. At least, when he managed to release the ball, he did show a very raw jump hook that he could actually deliver with his left hand also.
On defense, he stands out with his intimidation skills, especially his ability to elevate really high for blocks on defensive rotations, showing nice timing in his leaping efforts. However, hes not a solid player here, easily being baited with pump-fakes, his positioning is not the best around, and hes neither particularly physical in the paint.
Well see what the future is for Abdoulaye. History unfortunately tells us that African players in this mold struggle to develop and overcome their lack of knowledge of the game, especially those taking up basketball as late as Abdoulaye (he has reportedly been playing basketball for not much more than a year).
Andreja Milutinovic, 6-6, SG/SF, FMP Zeleznik, 1990
Jonathan Givony/DraftExpress.com
Steady, but not really dominant at any point in time, Andreja Milutinovic picked his spots efficiently while helping his team come away with the Nike IJT championship. Hes a fairly mature wing player, with good size, a nice frame, and solid athletic ability, along with some pretty nice skills.
Milutinovic is an excellent shooter first and foremost, but hes also a very effective slasher when he puts his mind to it. His body control and ability to change directions with smooth hesitation moves is pretty unique amongst European wing prospects, and will surely help him overcome the fact that hes not the most fluid or explosive player youll find. Hes also crafty and pretty aggressive when he puts his mind to it, which makes him capable of making some impressive plays from time to time. He had an emphatic dunk in traffic in the championship game for example that seemingly came out of nowhere, and also made strong moves spinning into the paint and finishing or pulling up off the dribble from mid-range to continue and drop glimpses of potential.
The problem is that it didnt always seem like Milutinovic was playing all that hard. Whether he was deferring to his teammates or just coasting against weaker competition (no one could touch FMP at this tournament, or in all of European junior basketball for that matter) remains to be seen, but it would be nice to see him play aggressively for the entire time hes on the floor. His coaching staff wouldnt stand for anything less than 100% from him on the defensive end, though, and he seemed to put in a solid effort and always compete trying to stay in front of his man. He seems like a pretty tough kid all in all, and is definitely a name to keep in mind for the future.
Agustin Ambrosino
is a 6-7 Argentinean power forward who will eventually make the transition over to playing the 3 we imagine, and he has some pretty nice tools to do it if he keeps working hard. Hes long, fairly athletic, and has decent skills facing the basket, making him someone to at least keep an eye on for the future.
Nimrod Tishman
wont turn 17 until later this month, but he still managed to leave a pretty strong impression playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv in an almost impossible group. He has great size at 6-5 for a point guard, solid athletic ability, a decent stroke and a nice feel for the game. He created a lot of opportunities for his teammates while drawing some inevitable
Yotam Halperin
comparisons, but struggled on the defensive end and finishing around the basket due to his obvious lack of strength. His teammate
Daniel Rom
has all kinds of talentgood size for a power forward, decent athleticism, and the ability to create his own shot from the perimeter or with nifty pivot moves in the lane. The problem is that he looks incredibly apathetic running up and down the floor, and like almost all Israeli players seemingly, doesnt play a lick of defense.
Carmel Bouchman
, also of Maccabi Tel Aviv, hit a late growth spurt supposedly and is now listed at a shade under 6-9. Hes fairly athletic and likes to face the basket and hit 3-pointers. Hes too skinny and soft at the moment to be anymore more than a defensive liability, but he will rotate over at times from the weak-side and come up with a blocked shot.
Nemanja Nedovic
(6-3, 1991, Red Star) wont turn 17 for another month or so, but he has some tools that make him worthy of keeping on the radar for now. He can put the ball in the net getting to the rim or from long range, and looked pretty pesky getting in the passing lanes as well. Hes not a bad athlete either. 15-year old
Vytenis Cizauskas
of Zalgiris was one of the youngest players at this tournament (born in September of 1992), but he had some very nice moments, particularly attacking the basket. He emerged as Zalgiris most reliable scorer at times, and also showed all kinds of toughness sticking his nose in places they didnt belong. He plays a bit out of control at times (our impression from watching him last month at the Jordan Brand Classic practices and game in New York), but has decent tools to work with.
