I know two things about Ping Pong. It's NOT Ping Pong. It's Table Tennis. And most people cheat. Except they get mad when you say it's cheating. Well, 7 p.m. Thursday three of us from the Register Star will be among 10 local celebrities -- mostly TV, radio and newspaper people -- playing in a Celebrity Table Tennis Doubles Tournament at the Clock Tower Racquet Club before a big college tournament. And the best thing is they are going to enforce the rule that most basement players ignore.
That means you have to throw the ball six inches in the air before you serve it.
I grew up, like most recreational players, serving the ball out of my hand, trying to disguise where I was going to hit it and maybe even getting a little more spin on the ball that way.
I didn't learn that you had to hit the ball clear of your hand until I played intramural table tennis at the University of North Dakota. (I was the intramural director for Smith Hall and we did not have enough players, so I joined up).
I knew I was in trouble at my first match when my opponent showed up with his own paddle in a zipped up case and played with it upside down.
My wife and daughters glare at me when I say you are not supposed to serve out of your hand. Our sports editor is also going to play Thursday night. I told him he'd better not cheat. He reacted indignantly, saying he would never cheat, but as soon as I said something about tossing the ball up in the air, he said there was no way he was going to do that.
Serving out of your hand in ping pong is like taking a lost-ball penatly in golf (the same as an out of bounds penalty); it's something that the vast majority of recreational players never even consider.
So, we'll see how it goes Thursday.
If it's like my past experiences, it probably won't be pretty for me. Throwing the ball up and serving in table tennis is about the extent of my table tennis skills.

If the last two weeks showed any weaknesses for the Colorado State Rams, it was a lack of speed. Friday night, Colorado State got a little faster with the commitment of Kissimme (FL) safety Jansen Watson.The 5'10", 180-pound Watson claims a 40-yard-dash time of 4.2 and turned down offers from Central Florida, Auburn, Cincinnati, Kansas State, Northern Illinois and Middle Tennessee State to commit to the Rams.This season he has 24 stops and is Osceola's second leading rusher with 182 yards on 17 carries and one touchdown. Watson was in attendance at the Rams' 13-7 loss to Texas Christian a couple weeks ago and enjoyed the community as well as the family atmosphere the Rams put forward. Of course, calling it a family atmosphere for Watson might be more literal than for most Ram recruits. The opportunity to play with his first cousin, CSU freshman corner Gerard (MoMo) Thomas, was also an attraction. Thomas and Watson have played football and basketball together since high school and Thomas' presence added an extra layer of familiarity in Fort Collins for Watson. "The coaches and everyone there (in Fort Collins) are just a different experience than Florida," Watson said. The community, the temperature, just the whole city worked pretty well."Watson said he was planning on calling to commit last Saturday, but instead, he got a call from his recruiting contact - CSU offensive line coach Pat Meyer - telling him another Floridian had just committed to the CSU program."I was going to wait until Saturday to call him, but he called me on Friday and told me a kid from Colonial - Christian James - had just committed. I said, 'yeah, I wanted to do the same.' I told him I wanted to commit too," Watson said. "He told me thanks and said, oh, yeah? you want to come to Colorado? Come on down and be a Ram."In addition to the family ties, Watson said he was attracted to Fort Collins by a depth chart that will see a pair of safeties - Klint Kubiak and Mike Pagnotta - graduate this season.In addition to a blazing 40-time, Watson also has a bench press of 275 and a squat of 405. He said he hopes to major in either business, advertising or civil engineering. "I play with the mindset and the attitude that I am going to show my skills." ...More...

text: New Focus in Pistorius Case: Bloody Bat Steenkamp's father: 'There is no hatred in our hearts' By Polly Davis Doig, Newser Staff Posted Feb 17, 2013 10:32 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (17) (Newser) – The case against Oscar Pistorius darkens: Police are now investigating a bloodied cricket bat recovered from the Olympian's house, reports South Africa's City Press. Cops theorize that Pistorius may have used the bat to bludgeon girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp—in addition to her bullet wounds, her skull was apparently crushed—or to break down the door to the bathroom where she was hiding. Another possibility is that Steenkamp used the bat in self-defense, but Pistorius' claim that he mistook her for a burglar is fast looking unlikely. "There was lots of blood on the bat. Forensic tests will show whose blood it was," a source tells the paper. Other details from the report: Sources say that police have a "rock solid" case against Pistorius. "He could possibly get a 20-year sentence instead of life if he pleads guilty," says a criminal lawyer. Police found Steenkamp's overnight bag and iPad in Pistorius' bedroom. "It was clear that both of them had slept in the bed," a police source says. Looking for evidence of "'roid rage," police had Pistorius' blood tested. Steenkamp's father, Barry Steenkamp, tells the Sunday Mail he and his wife are heartbroken, but that Pistorius "must be going through things that we don't know about. There is no hatred in our hearts . ... We ask the Lord every day to help us find a reason why this should happen to Reeva." Oscar Pistorius reacts in court in Pretoria, South Africa, Friday, Feb 15, 2013, at his bail hearing in the murder case of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Wish Upon a…StarMark
It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of cabinet manufacturers vying for business. That's why StarMark decided to try something different. Their name, believe it or not, was inspired from the Star Wars movies, and their cabinets, like the movies, are epic. Beyond creativity, they have distinguished themselves as above ordinary in several ways.
Above Ordinary Environmental Stewardship
Familiar with the need for environmental stewardship, StarMark Cabinetry places an above-ordinary emphasis upon green practices. In their words: "Your home. Our planet. StarMark Cabinetry takes care of both." As part of the KCMA Environmental Stewardship Program, they use recycled wood in their resource management product line and implement environmentally friendly production practices.
Above Ordinary Availability
The South Dakota-based company has variety—lots of it. According to latest calculations, they have over 100,000 combinations of door styles, wood species, and finishes. That's a lot of combinations, and each one is unique. As a semi-custom cabinetmaker, StarMark knows how to meet the preferences of each homeowner and designer. StarMark doesn't stop at kitchen cabinetry as many companies do. Although kitchens are a mainstay of their production line, they also craft exceptional design options for bathrooms, family rooms, conference rooms, bars and offices. They even manufacture doors, organizational products, moldings, trims, balusters, valances, drawer varieties, capitals, hoods, inserts, posts, brackets, legs, glass doors and other implements and accessories. They produce a truly comprehensive offering of anything cabinetry.
Above Ordinary Helpfulness
StarMark takes customer service seriously, and it begins on their website. If you can get past the marketing messages in some places, you will find that StarMark has resources for "advice," where you can access free articles, check out design galleries, sign up for the newsletter and even try their featured "My Design Planner."
It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of cabinet manufacturers vying for business. That's why StarMark decided to try something different. Their name, believe it or not, was inspired by the Star Wars movies, and just like the movies, they try to make their cabinet designs epic. Here's more about this innovative company.
Starmark kitchen cabinets are sold through authorized contractors around the country, so the cost is dependent upon a number of factors, including cabinet size, style, materials, finish and labor. To find out how much your own project would cost, get free price quotes for your installation.
As a semi-custom line, StarMark cabinets are made with solid wood construction and should be able to withstand the wear and tear of a normal kitchen environment.
In order to keep StarMark cabinets looking great, regularly wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaning solution of dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water. Make sure to avoid abrasive household cleaners, as these can damage the finish and always dry cabinets after cleaning.

FILE - A July 19, 2012, file photo shows a corn field near Springfield, Neb. The USDA is releasing its first estimate of the 2013 crop size in its spring planting report on Thursday, March 28, 2013.
- Filed Under
U.S. farmers will plant the most corn since 1936 as growers look to take advantage of high prices brought on by last year's drought, the Agriculture Department said Thursday.
The forecasted 97.3 million acres of corn sowed in 2013 would be a step toward rebuilding razor-thin supplies that suffered as yields plunged during the drought in 2012 - the worst to hit the United States since the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. In Indiana alone, farmers have received a record crop-insurance payout of more than $1 billion.
Soybean plantings are forecast at 77.1 million acres, down slightly from last year, but ...

The desired adjustments are then made about the cartilage and bone, and the incisions are finally sutured closed. The procedure is customized based on individual requirements. The final outcome in the Rhinoplasty surgery is one more concern from the person. The usual expense of laser rhinoplasty is approximately $2,000 to $3,000, and since FDA (Food and Drug Administration) classified this to get a plastic surgery and not something for medical purposes. Pay heed to instructions distributed by the doctors for smooth coping with the surgery.
Since the nose sits squarely within the center in the face, it can be understandable that any changes made on it will be noticed and appreciated. Also, swelling from the nose can take around one year to fully resolve. Don't similar to this particular model of celebrity rhinoplasty. Her findings explain that you can find several benefits associated with plastic and cosmetic procedures, and lots of women simply enjoy better emotional health insurance and more confidence from procedures for example breast augmentation, nose reshaping surgery and liposuction. Remembering that rhinoplasty is really more art than surgery, the doctor will frequently refer to the photographs and notes he's made prior to the process.
I'm typing this piece 25th of Could, 2011 only to allow you to find out. It is really a significant career move to have these changes made and increase the appearance that this person gives on the public. Because in the height of the nose, anyone in question might be ridiculed this also may lead to low self esteem. It generally takes more skill than open rhinoplasty and doesnt leave scars. And, one in the main questions I always ask myself is the reason did this happen with conservative therapy where somewhat cartilage is removed and tip sutures are used.
The operation is naturally painless, while using use of anaesthesia. Any external sutures will be removed in approximately 4-6 days and if you'll find any internal sutures they'll dissolve by themselves over time. The reason why foreign patients arrived at India for rhinoplasty Portland Oregon their surgery is because the surgery cost in India is quite less as compared with their countries like US and UK. These needless to say do run credit checks and sometimes a payment in advance or cosigner is necessary. The surgical process in rhinoplasty uses a number of incisions that will enable the surgeon to lift the nasal skin.
General varieties of rhinoplasty include removing a hump, raising or lessening the size of the nose, converting the shape with the nostrils or remolding the end. As affecting nose job pre and post photos from Asian women, rhinoplasty just isn't meant to replicate the style of other ethnicities. Most in the time, these might be caused by the lack of expertise with the surgeon, infection, delayed and poor healing. So don't ever be swayed into deciding over a surgeon who claims that he's got not done any touch ups or corrective surgery together with his previous works. Most surgeons would suggest that you just wait 6-12 months when you consult for any revision.

We last bumped into the stylish team behind Drake's London - Jamie Ferguson and Michael Hill - when their gentlemanly suiting caught our eye at Pitti Uomo in Florence earlier this year (rather ironic considering the label's flagship store is a mere two streets away from the GQ offices). Having seen the label's new season lookbook, we've come to the conclusion that this elegant attitude to styling influences every area of the company. Better yet, not only is their latest selection full of the kind of relaxed items that fit effortlessly into every man's smart-casual wardrobe, but every single tie you see and scarf you see is designed and manufactured in London. A note of caution: the following pictures might induce beard envy.

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Godric Gryffindor
|Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter - Character
|Godric Gryffindor
|Hair color
|Eye color
|Related Family
Godric Gryffindor was one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the creator of Gryffindor House. He preferred to teach students with courage, and members of the House are now known for this trait.
Role in the Books[edit]
While Godric Gryffindor has been dead for possibly a thousand years, and thus cannot play any direct part in our story, he has influenced events that occur throughout the series.
Philosopher's Stone[edit]
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are sorted into Gryffindor house, as the Sorting Hat determines that they contain qualities that Gryffindor would treasure: daring and bravery, no matter what their origin. We also learn, from the Sorting Hat's song, that the Hat was once Gryffindor's.
Chamber of Secrets[edit]
Professor Binns tells us the legend of the Chamber of Secrets. The four founders of the school, Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw had existed in harmony for only a short time, before Slytherin and Gryffindor began to disagree over the nature of the students to be educated. Slytherin felt that only Wizards descended from Wizards, "pure blood Wizards", deserved education while Gryffindor felt that the ability to do magic outweighed any question of ancestry. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw agreed with Gryffindor, and Salazar Slytherin left, after (according to legend) creating a secret chamber in the school, and hiding a monster within it. The chamber could only be opened by Slytherin's true heir, according to the legend.
When Harry finds himself in the previously-legendary chamber, Fawkes brings him the Sorting Hat to assist him in his battle against the Monster. The hat, in turn, produces the sword of Gryffindor, with which Harry vanquishes the Monster.
Prisoner of Azkaban[edit]
It is mentioned that Harry's father and mother, along with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, were in Gryffindor house as students.
Half-Blood Prince[edit]
In discussing Lord Voldemort's pattern of making Horcruxes from relics of the Founders, Professor Dumbledore mentions that the only known relic of Gryffindor's was the sword. (It should be noted that the Sorting Hat was his, also, but as it had been granted a rudimentary consciousness, there is question whether it could be considered a relic.)
Deathly Hallows[edit]
We learn that Godric's Hollow, where Harry's parents lived, is named after Godric Gryffindor, it having been his birthplace.
The Sword of Gryffindor is returned to Harry in the Forest of Dean, in a manner that requires courage, a trait beloved of Gryffindor, to regain it.
The sword is later provided to Neville Longbottom by the Sorting Hat as it was earlier provided to Harry, possibly in part as a result of Neville's bravery.
Relationships with Other Characters[edit]
While very little is known of Godric Gryffindor, we can surmise that Godric Gryffindor was, if not an active fighter against Muggle discrimination, at least believed that Muggle heritage was not grounds for denial of Magical skills. We know, from the words of the Sorting Hat, that he favoured students with courage, loyalty and chivalry. His specific magical skills remain unknown, though there does seem to be a certain affinity for Transfiguration among those who are Sorted into the House he founded – both Professor McGonagall, and the Transfiguration teacher before her, Professor Dumbledore, are extremely skilled at Transfiguration.

Customer Favorite Paperwhites & Bulb Gardens
Paperwhites & Bulb Gardens
Ariel Paperwhite, 24 Bulbs
Paperwhite Narcissus 'Ariel' is an earlier bloomer than the familiar 'Ziva' and bears 14-18 large, fragrant flowers on each stem. Its snowy white clusters make a dramatic centerpiece or holiday bouquet. Paperwhites belong to a group of Daffodils that are not hardy for us, but are easily grown in a pot or vase indoors. Their large clusters of pure white flowers arch above graceful, blue-green foliage, and their perfume fills a room with fragrance. Paperwhites require no preparation and are absolutely foolproof. 24 bulbs.
We suggest that plantings be started at 2- to 4-week intervals to keep the show running all winter (bulbs will flower 4 to 6 weeks from planting). Bulbs may be held for weeks in a warm, dark closet, which allows plenty of flexibility in orchestrating displays for holidays or other special occasions.
Shipment of Paperwhites begins in late September and continues as weather and stock permits. Please order early.

Just picked up one of these at a rummage sale. The manual's illustrations for threading aren't very good, and I'm having a terrible time trying to get the lower looper threaded ... the last two threading spaces are on the top of the looper, and the notch, on the left edge of the looper, is under the throat plate. I can't move it far enough to the right to see it. No luck finding any photos or more detailed instructions online :-(
I may have to take it to the local sewing store (fortunately they're a Bernina dealer), but I thought I'd ask here as well. Is there a trick to getting the lower looper out in the clear so it can be threaded? Thanks!
BerninaUSA.com's web site has the manual to download free in .pdf form: ~link~
I took a look and the diagrams are really awful. I had this machine for a half year, before I upgraded to the 2000DE in 1994, and if memory serves me, it threads the way all the current sergers do. Bernina International has a youtube page with all sorts of serger videos. Probably pressing the white tab/lever to bring that lower looper over to the right, to catch the hook thingy (confused?) is the problem, and the drawing in the manual is not clear. At. All.
seven minutes into this video might be what you need.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
They are wonderful sergers once you master the threading which is not that difficult once you get used to it. Make yourself thread manually instead of pulling through at first so you get used to it. To get to the lower looper arm that is hidden you will need to thread to that point and use the handwheel turning only in the direction of the arrow that is over it turn until the arm is visible on the left and put the thread in the notch you mentioned. You may need to use the tweezers if yours are still there to reach the thread and retreive the thread as you turn the handwheel to bring the looper arm back to your right. One thing about this model is it has to be threaded in this order -upper looper first, lower looper then needle threads. I also usually turn the hand wheel again in the direction of the arrow to manually do a couple of stitches-don't know why that is just what my dealer originally suggested. I would highly recommend a service for this machine and probably a new upper blade perhaps a lower if it has never been changed. You could have them show you how to thread it when you have it in for service. Mine has only been serviced twice in many years. Once for ragged stitches when it needed the lower blade which lasted for many years. I bought a new bernina serger as I was told no new foot control was available and then luckily found a new identical one that was used on would you believe sewing machines during that era so it is humming away still. I am not sure you can kill this model but it is very temperamental in that you have to thread it correctly then no problem as you mostly pull threads through. I normally just pull thread through but if you have a problem keep rethreading in the correct order no shortcuts with this one just start over. It somehow knows if you cheat and don't do it in the order that is printed on the machine. I have not taken the time to learn my new serger and still am using the 234 and don't plan to say good by to it but will keep it threaded up with white or use it when using the coverstitch feature on the new one. It is a great machine in my opinion so get it serviced and learn how to use it.
Forgot to mention they'll probably try to tell you it isn't worth it,buy new, etc. just ignore all that and tell them to service and change the blade. If your foot control has a lot of wear or develops a short take the info off the bottom and hunt a replacement for that and you are good to go. I bought this serger and my 930 machine in the 1980s and they still work perfectly. I just succumbed to computer/embroidery machines kind of like new car fever or they'd be the only ones that lived here.
Does anyone know or have a regular foot & needleplate for a Bernette 234 serger? I inherited this but it only has the needle plate & foot for rolled hemming.

KD 139 - Top 10 times for final 1/4 mile - 04/25/13
The field for the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby is not set in stone just yet. Titletown Five, with a win Saturday in the Derby Trial can sneak into the field. However, we know most of the starters already so began putting together a list. It is my first list for handicapping the Derbyfinal 1/4 mile times. This is critical because it will tell you who potentially has enough gas left in the tank to get 10 furlongs. Right now, I have the Top 10 closing times from the latest prep race, plus an added wrinkle. I included the Late Speed Rating (LSR) courtesy of Derek Simon over at Twin Spires. Time is in seconds and the LSR is in ().

Blog Entry
What we've learned: Week 2
Posted on: November 8, 2010 5:06 pm
Posted by Royce Young
I have a confession. This is something I'm not proud of. This is something I haven't told many people, but I'm going to share with you guys who are my closest friends (right?). Up until about five years ago, I didn't know what "tennis shoes" were. I only knew of these things called "tennashoes." It's true.
I considered (and still do) consider myself a decently bright person. But for some reason, that little nugget of information always slipped past me. I remember saying to myself upon learning the correct usage, "Oh, well you learn something new every day."
And when it comes to the NBA, that's definitely true. In this case, we learn new things every week. Now two weeks are down and everyone has at least five games under their belt. What kind of knowledge do we have now that maybe we didn't have before? Five things:
Forget Durant. Forget LeBron. Chris Paul is your current MVP frontrunner - in November. These things change. Kind of like how in college football everyone freaks out and starts declaring Heisman frontrunners in September (remember Denard Robinson and Ryan Mallett? How are they doing now?), people like to crown MVP winners way too early. So keep that in mind as I tell you that Chris Paul is the early favorite to win the MVP award.
There's a lot of criteria, though undefined, as to what it takes to win the MVP. A great season, a great team and big media attention are all important parts. But right now, CP3 has two added things that makes him a prime candidate: 1) A great story and 2) A great turnaround.
Before the season not many expected the Hornets to be a viable contender in the West. But they've started well going 6-0, which includes a big win over the Heat. And what that means is that Chris Paul gets a lot of credit for raising his game to make what most perceived as an average team into a good team and that immediately, we all start saying things like "CP3 4 MVP!"
Come March though, if the Hornets have returned to the planet and are hovering around .500, playing out a season that most expected, Paul probably won't be an MVP favorite. If Durant's Thunder are on course for 50 wins and he's going to lead the league in scoring, he'll probably win. Or if Dwight Howard is putting up 25 and 12 for a 55-win Magic, he'll get the nod. So it's too early to make any real judgments on it yet, but if we were handing out an MVP for the First Two Weeks Award, Chris Paul would be deserving.
Oklahoma City really does has some work to do. It's not time to panic in Thunderland, but it's not a bad time to raise an eyebrow.
The Thunder are 3-3 with losses to the Jazz, the Clippers and the Celtics. Not terrible loss, considering the Clipper loss came on the road. But the two home losses to the Celtics and Jazz are really the ones that have people puzzled. In both games, OKC was down by 20 points and in both games, struggled on both ends of the floor.
The Thunder offense is basically a complete mess right now. It's all one-on-one basketball with at the most, two passes on a possession. OKC ranks dead last in assists per game and last in assists per field goal made. They aren't moving the ball, aren't spacing and aren't shooting well. Honestly, maybe it's a miracle it's not worse than 3-3.
So much expectation was placed on this team and it's way too early to give up on them. It's too early to even start saying things like, "I thought this team was supposed to challenge the Lakers... yeah right." Give it time. How you're playing in the first two weeks of November doesn't matter near as much as how you're playing the last two weeks of March.
It's too early to be concerned about a team that still has every key piece off a team that won 50 games last season. But it might not be too early to ask what's going on.
It's the Lakers and 29 other teams right now. There are about four elite looking teams in the league right now. The Heat, the Celtics, the Magic and the Lakers. But the Lakers have even separated themselves from those other three at this point.
The 7-0 record is nice, but the Lakers lead the league in point differential, winning by an average of 13.6 points a game. And it's not just that, but they've dismantled teams. Like dominated them. What's scary too, is that they aren't even at full strength without Andrew Bynum. That sound you heard was the entire Western Conference peeing their pants.
It's way premature to start talking about 72 wins for this team because their competition hasn't been that difficult and losing three in a row isn't that hard to do in the NBA. But as it stands now, in terms of ranking power, it's the Lakers alone at the top, with 29 other teams looking up.
Houston may have a big problem. (Has that joke reached a point where it's fair to use again? Like it's so lame that it's kind of OK?) The Rockets start of 1-5 was unexpected. They do have an excuse because they've probably played the toughest schedule in the league thus far. The teams they've lost to are a combined 25-5. They finally caught a bad team, whooping the Timberwolves Sunday.
Houston surely isn't feeling great about its start because you never want to dig a hole early, but with the loss of Aaron Brooks for 4-6 weeks, it could be getting a little rougher for the Rockets. They are on the road for five of their next six and after three weeks of the NBA season could be too far behind to make up ground.
The Wolves are truly terrible. In the same way starting any 72-win talk now is way too early, starting any "worst team ever" talking is equally premature.
Howevah, the Timberwolves are ridiculously, comically bad. They won their opening game by a point over the Kings and now have dropped five straight. They are losing by an average of 17.1 points per game right now. The next closest team is the Wizards, who are losing by 11.6 ppg.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, in the past 20 seasons, only two other teams have suffered three 25-point losses in their first seven games: the Bulls in 2003 and the SuperSonics in 2005. The Wolves have lost by 25 or more in three of their first seven games. Yikes.
Add in the fact that the Wolves lost every functioning point guard on the roster and may be starting Wayne Ellington or Maurice Ager there for a week and it's kind of hard to picture the next Minnesota win.
These are the pains you go through when you're rebuilding (or I guess "building" in Minnesota's case). Remember, the Thunder were 3-29 before Christmas two seasons ago. So things can be turned around. But at this current moment, the Wolves are a total disaster in every way.

What we've learned: Week 2
The public crowned OKC to early. They were playing out their minds last year. No expectations can really be a godsend. Hou will be alright. Hornets will find a way to come back to Earth. They always do. By the way Turkolu is THE most overrated player in NBA. He was last year too.

Assuming Matt Kemp will come back by summer and be healthy, he is going to have to change his style of play. No longer can he be the guy who runs into walls, steals bases and runs with reckless abandon. If he wants to stay on the field, he is going to have to change his game.
His bat, not his legs, will have to be his best asset. To further emphasize that, the Dodgers should move Matt Kemp to left field where he won't have to cover so much ground and there is less chance of injury. That sets the stage for a natural platoon with the equally brittle Carl Crawford. Matt is going to need some rest, whether he comes back in April or June and this is the best way.
Matt Kemp was never a Gold Glove Centerfielder – he was in the lineup for his bat and that's what he needs to focus on. If I were Don Mattingly, I would announce that Matt is moving to LF for his good and the good of the team. He won't like it, but he will get used to it. Give him plenty of time.
I would be fine with a Matt Kemp who had 450 AB's and hit 30 HR with Zero stolen bases.
That leaves Centerfield to Andre Ethier or Yasiel Pig… 'er I mean Puig (I was confused by his stature). Of course, Joc Pederson could make the team with Kemp on the DL, but it's not likely he will start. The solution is to alternate Ethier and Puig in CF during the Spring. Yes, I know Puig is raw and needs help with his communication and decision making, but speed covers a multitude of sins.
Let's play ball!
Here's today's lineup:
- Chone Figgins SS
- Carl Crawford LF
- Yasiel Pig RF
- Care Bear Uribe 3B
- Joc Pederson CF
- Andy Van Slyke's Son 1B
- Tim Fed-Ex C
- Alexander "Don't call me Pedro" Guerrero – 2B
- Justin Turner DH
Clayton will start and throw a couple and I'm sure we will see Dee Gordon at 2B too!

Samsung made itself the brand to beat in the crowded smartphone space by backing Google's Android software –- 96 percent of the South Korean company's shipments ran on the platform. Now, it's planning a high-end smartphone powered by Intel-backed open-source platform Tizen.
The new phone, out as soon as August, is good news for those geeks and independent-minded consumers of the tech zone who are crying out for open-source gadgets. Maybe less so for Apple and Google, who face another challenger in the battle to dominate the platform for global mobile communications.
But Samsung had best beware. Growing competition from Samsung as a maker of high-end smartphones has already turned Apple from its most-valuable customer to an increasingly bitter rival. Does Google's move into handsets after last year's acquisition of Motorola put the writing on the wall for that relationship too?
Samsung's efforts to lessen its reliance on Android by designing its own software Bada – "the sea" in Korean – haven't yet produced a credible alternative. Nor have phones powered by Microsoft's OS. Enter Tizen.
"This is just sort of a safety net," said Doh Hyun Woo, an analyst for Seoul-based Mirae Asset Securities. "But if Google dominates the market just like Microsoft did in the PC market with more than 90 percent share, it may prove the total opposite," with Google possibly holding this over Samsung's head.
The big question for Samsung and Google – and Apple, too – is whether consumers learn to live with multiple operating systems, or whether one comes to dominate and the rest are left to wither (who remembers Betamax?).
Watch this space for developing open-source news.

Celeste and Jesse Forever
Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) met in high school, married young and are growing apart. Now thirty, Celeste is the driven owner of her own media consulting firm, Jesse is once again unemployed and in no particular rush to do anything with his life. Celeste is convinced that divorcing Jesse is the right thing to do -- she is on her way up, he is on his way nowhere, and if they do it now instead of later, they can remain supportive friends. Jesse passively accepts this transition into friendship, even though he is still in love with her. As the reality of their separation sets in, Celeste slowly and painfully realizes she has been cavalier about their relationship, and her decision, which once seemed mature and progressive, now seems impulsive and selfish. But her timing with Jesse is less than fortuitous. While navigating the turbulent changes in their lives and in their hearts, these two learn that in order to truly love someone, you may have to let them go. The film is a humorous and honest examination of a broken heart and the long, hard road it takes to heal it.

$1,000 reward offered after campus shooting at McDaniel College
The shooting over the weekend has raised alarm in Westminster.
Now, city police are offering a reward for information, not in one, but in two separate cases where students from McDaniel College were targeted .
The sound of gunfire awakened students early Sunday as bullets riddled a second floor window at Whiteford Hall.
"There were gunshots late Sunday, technically, and that's all we really know," said Ben Shoudy, a senior on campus.
"We got a campus alert that said stay inside," added Cody Shives, a junior, "Stay clear of windows. Lock your doors."
Police say a group of students had just left a restaurant when they encountered six or seven people in their teens or early twenties.
"Words were exchanged at that point at some distance and apparently that exchange of words continued up Monroe Street toward the college," said Westminster Police Chief Jeff Spaulding. "And our best information right now is that this other group followed these students back on campus and that's when the shots were fired."
Electronic alerts went out to students and the college shut down the campus.
Investigators soon learned that, prior to the shooting, three men had jumped out of an older model, grey mini-van and attempted to rob another student in the same general area.
In that case, the would-be victim turned and ran to safety.
"Violent crime is pretty rare here in Westminster and, of course, across the county," Spaulding said. "I would say to the parents that you can be assured that your children are safe, but any time you go out late at night, you need to exercise prudence and caution. Walk in groups. Don't walk in places that aren't well lit. Travel by car if you can. If problems come to you, try to walk away as the students in this case did."
Police in Westminster are now offering $1,000 reward for information in either of those cases.
If you have information, you can call them at 410-848-4646.

USA infielder Matt Davidson, the Reno Aces' third baseman, hits a two-run home run in the fourth inning during the 2013 All-Star Futures Game at CitiField in New York.
Reno Aces third baseman Matt Davidson said, "I have no words for that," when the Hall of Fame asked for his helmet and batting gloves.
As for the request for the rest of his equipment to be shipped to Arizona, the Diamondbacks' powerful prospect said he could only hope general manager Kevin Towers was watching.
Davidson was chosen MVP of Sunday's All-Star Futures Game after his line-drive, two-run homer to center field put the USA ahead to stay in a 4-2 victory against the World team. ...

|Mauricio Umansky
(310) 858-5464
|Mauricio Umansky and the Mauricio Umansky Estates team are responsible for representing Buyers and Sellers internationally with some of the most important world-class architectural estates. Mauricio prides himself for his ability to consummate and facilitate transactions, with both extraordinary customer service and by counting on his 11 years of experience and acumen for 'thinking outside the box'.
"What excites me are the unique characteristics that each transaction has and the challenges that it brings."
In today's Real Estate environment, it is essential to call upon the most experienced and successful agents. Selling a home today requires more then just simply putting it in the MLS, it requires myriad qualities marketing dollars, commitment towards the job, creativity, and most importantly, an extensive network of buyers and sellers. Mauricio has embraced the challenge of today's fast-paced environment and has parlayed his own network and sphere of influence together with the Hilton & Hyland network and the Christies Great Estates local and international networks, creating one of the largest personal networks offered.
With regards to Buyers, Mauricio calls upon his expertise and experience to find Buyers their picture-perfect home: one that is distinctively theirs. It takes much more than just a click of the mouse and a haphazard email to the client. The true art of Real Estate actually requires "kicking the tires" and Mauricio loves and embraces that challenge – purely devoted to conquering every aspect of the home-hunting process. Mauricio believes that it takes really listening to his clients' needs and reading between the lines.
Additionally, however no less important, are the private listings that cannot be found in the MLS. In 2007 30% of Mauricio's transactions were "Pocket Listings" and those that were shown exclusively to Mauricio's clients.
Mauricio was born in Mexico City and moved to Bel-Air in 1976. He is married to his beautiful wife Kyle, and has four gorgeous daughters Farrah, Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.
– Number one agent at Hilton & Hyland 3 years running and 6 out of the last 8 years.
– Over 130 Million sold in 2007
– Over 1 billion in transactions
– 8 out the last 10 transaction in Beverly Park

Updated 2:35 pm
The Office of Management and Budget hands out President Barack Obama's 2014 budget in a Starbucks as the sun comes up.
It's 6:35 am, and a dozen reporters are gathered in downtown Washington, waiting for an OMB staffer carrying CDs. He is five minutes behind schedule due to roadblocks around the White House. The budget files he's releasing are two months late.
Obama's $3.8 trillion budget proposal arrives at the Capitol after the House and Senate already have adopted non-binding budget resolutions so different in their goals that there's almost no prospect for compromise, Bloomberg reports. Reporters held their headlines until the White House's embargoed release after the president spoke from the Rose Garden at 11 am today. "Our economy is poised for progress as long as Washington doesn't get in the way," he said.
The president's budget, officially due on Feb. 1, is usually the kick-off for budget season in Washington. This year's budget — delayed until cherry-blossom season after a series of manufactured fiscal crises on Capitol Hill — is a potential tie-breaker.
Because of congressional gridlock, "the president is pretty much stepping onto the same playing field that he would have if he had started on time," Joseph Minarik, senior vice president of the Committee for Economic Development, said in an interview.
Republicans started early today bashing the proposal on the Senate floor and on Twitter:
"It sounds like the White House just tossed last year's budget into the microwave," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said.
Loving our new Vine video! Obama's budget in 6 seconds. vine.co/v/btnbn9JDDur
— Reince Priebus (@Reince) April 10, 2013
I liked @tonyfratto's phrase this am calling Obama budget proposal a possible "middle path to nowhere." — Ben White (@morningmoneyben) April 10, 2013
Oh good. The White House plans to use fictional "war savings" in their budget again. — Brendan Buck (@Brendan_Buck) April 10, 2013
O's thought bubble: "Um…someone remind me. What exactly were we thinking when we decided 2send the budget up 2 months late?"
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) April 10, 2013
Even Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who is running for the South Carolina 1st District House seat against former Gov. Mark Sanford, rejected the plan:
Businesswoman Colbert Busch Rejects President Obama's Budget | Press Release bit.ly/16MCmJV #SC1 SC01 #SCtweets #CHS
— ColbertBuschSC (@ColbertBuschSC) April 10, 2013
The outlook appears grim, and budget experts aren't sure whether Obama's proposals are any more or less likely to be taken up by Congress now that it's April. At 65 days late, Obama's 2014 plan is the most over-due budget in modern history, a fact House Republicans have criticized frequently over the past few weeks.
"Many people believe that because he gets to go last, it provides the president the chance to give more, not less, leadership on this issue. I think that's an open question," Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum and former economic adviser to Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, said in an interview. He added, "It has more to do with their willingness to take a leadership role on the deal."
Congress will likely continue to wait for "the moment when the debt limit hits the fan," said Minarik, who is a former policy director and economist for the House and OMB.
"Will the president proposing entitlement reductions shock the system?" he said. "There aren't too many indications at this point that would lead you to think so."
The reporters at Starbucks had at least one reason to be glad for the budget's two-month delay: If they had received the budget in February, it wouldn't have been 63 degrees in Washington for their walks back to their newsrooms, the cherries in full bloom.
