SIKESTON - Typical sisters, they might not always get along.
But they do agree on two things, their love for competing in rodeo pageants and the importance of good sportsmanship.
Now they share something else, rodeo royalty.
Seventeen-year-old Kyleigh Cowger became the new Miss Teen Rodeo Missouri during a four-day pageant in St. Roberts in September. Her sister Mallory, 10, was named Little Miss Rodeo Missouri at a one-day pageant in October in St. Roberts.
The girls are the daughters of Jim and Jeannie Cowger.
There are four divisions in the Miss Rodeo Missouri Association: Miss Rodeo Missouri, Miss Teen Rodeo Missouri, Miss Preteen Rodeo Missouri and Little Miss Rodeo Missouri.
"I think it's great, I'm very proud of them and their accomplishments," said Mrs. Cowger. "I'm glad they won the same year because there's a lot of traveling, they'll travel all over the state of Missouri," she said. "They will travel to Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association rodeos, rodeo pageants, equine seminars and other events and activities."
"I think it will be a long trip," quipped Mallory.
For Mallory, who gladly points out she has the most crowns, competing in pageants is nothing new, she's been doing it since age 3. She's carried the titles of Little Miss 4th of July in Malden and Dexter, Little Miss Snowball, Little Miss Western, Little Miss Snowflake and Little Miss Missouri 2000.
For the past two years she has been involved in 4-H rodeo where she competes in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, team penning and calf riding.
She said her favorite pageant was the Little Miss Rodeo Missouri in which she won the title and the categories of interview, speech and horsemanship. For her accomplishment she received a Little Miss Rodeo Missouri jacket, Montana Silversmith trophy buckle, a trophy, autograph pictures, a crown and a sash.
"I just couldn't believe I won, my mouth dropped," Mallory said. "I was not expecting it. It gave me the confidence to go to the next pageant."
Although starting in the rodeo world later than her younger sister, Kyleigh is familiar with pageantry as well. Her titles have included Junior Miss Sweet Corn 2000, Miss Cotton Carnival 2001, Miss Benton Neighborday 2001, Junior Miss Rodeo 2001 and was first runner-up in the Missouri High School Rodeo Queen pageant. She has been a 4-H member for nine years and competes in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying and breakaway.
Those vying for Miss Rodeo Missouri Association were judged in interviews, modeling, impromptu questions, horsemanship and prepared speeches, the latter two of which Kyleigh received an award, in addition to being named Miss Photogenic.
As the result of winning her first trip to the state level pageant, she was awarded a Montana Silversmith Trophy Buckle, a pair of custom-made chaps and a matching shirt from Lucky Star Designs and a Showme Trophy Saddle sponsored by Chariton Vet Supply.
The Miss Rodeo Missouri goes on to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas where Miss Rodeo America will be crowned.
"It doesn't bother me that Mallory has been in it longer, I'm just always happy for her. She likes pageants and she kind of brought me into them. I saw all the nice things she brought home," joked Kyleigh, a junior in high school. "I'm also going to go to college and a lot of pageants offer scholarships."
"She really hasn't shown any interest before," Mrs. Cowger added. "Mallory wanted to go and I just suggested Kyleigh go ahead and try because she was older, she was a good 15 or 16 when she started. She's not been doing it very long and she's done well this last year. She's very comfortable with it. The high school rodeo queen contest was very competitive and I think that brought her to new levels."
Mrs. Cowger describes the two as opposites. While Kyleigh is more reserved and quiet, her younger sibling has never met a stranger and is outgoing.
"When you're giving a speech you always have to look at it as mind over matter, your voice has to protrude over your nervousness," explained Kyleigh. "You can't let it show. If you memorize a speech and you learn it really well, it almost comes to you naturally without even thinking. It's almost like carrying on a prepared conversation."
Both girls agree that the interview category is the most difficult. Contestants know there will be a current event question and an equine question, yet are unaware what exactly will be asked or what kind of answer the judges are looking for.
Kyleigh and Mallory say there's more to competing in rodeo pageants than wearing flashy clothes and performing before a judge. Both agree it's also a learning experience.
"Sportsmanship is really important," said 17-year-old Kyleigh. "I've seen some girls get mad for losing and I've seen some girls really hold up and be good about it. I've learned you just have to take what comes and go to the next one and don't hold a burden. I've learned patience and I've learned understanding, if you do win you can't boast about it because the other girls have feelings too."
As much as the girls enjoy rodeoing, they know the rules: school comes first. And they apparently abide by the laws. Kyleigh has a 3.92 grade point average, while Mallory's is an honor roll student.
Kyleigh has her sights set on majoring in physical therapy/sports medicine and minor in equine sciences. "If I go into solid sports medicine I want to try to get on the Justin Sports Medicine Team which travels from rodeo to rodeo and works with the injured cowboys with pulled muscles and broken bones."
At 6 p.m. March 9 at the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Sikeston, Mallory and Kyleigh will be guests of honor at a coronation and crowning. There will also be a dinner at 6:30 p.m., followed by an auction at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 and the money from the fundraiser will go toward travel expenses for the girls Anyone who would like to attend the dinner/auction or donate an item for the auction is asked to call 471-9427.
Both Kyleigh and Mallory offered some advice for someone thinking about competing in rodeos and pageants
"You can't go out there the very first time and expect to win it all," advised Kyleigh. "I remember my first pageant and it was an experience for me. Even though I didn't win, it gave me more confidence for the next time. I learned about my strengths and weaknesses."
Added Mallory: "Go out there, have fun, smile and do the best that you can do."

The Duke women's soccer team had the No. 1 ranked Virginia Cavaliers on the ropes, but allowed three second half goals to drop a 3-2 decision at home on Thursday evening at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C.
With the loss, the Blue Devils dropped to 4-5-2 overall and 1-3-1 in the ACC. Virginia improves to 10-0-0, 4-0-0. For the second straight match, Duke led a 2-0 led go away to a league foe.
"I am just heartbroken," said Duke head coach
Robbie Church
. "We are in a tough stretch here. We are miss-matching players; we have a couple of players playing three positions out there. We got another one hurt today, but the kids are not giving up. They are fighting, scratching and playing hard. The first half was unbelievable. I was afraid that so much energy we used in the first half and we are thin that it would come back to haunt us."
Duke got on the board early in the match as senior
Mollie Pathman
raced down the pitch to find redshirt senior
Kim DeCesare
. A product of Massapequa Park, N.Y., DeCesare cut to the right side of the box and sent a perfect cross to junior
Kelly Cobb
, who redirected the ball with her left toe into the net to put Duke ahead, 1-0. Cobb netted her second goal of the season.
Virginia had one of its best chances of the first half in the 12th minute as Makenzy Doniak found herself with a one-v-one chance on the left side of the box, after a Duke defender turned the ball over. Blue Devil goalkeeper
Ali Kershner
made a diving stop to her right to keep Duke's lead, 1-0.
The Blue Devils came back to register its second goal of the match at the 22:10 mark as freshman
Malinda Allen
flicked a corner kick from Pathman over to Cobb. A native of Chugiak, Alaska, Cobb lifted a ball to senior
Kaitlyn Kerr
who did a semi-bicycle kick into the right corner of the net. The goal from Kerr, who is from Bensalem, Pa., was her 26th career tally, which moved her into a tie for eighth on Duke's career scoring charts.
"I always said I wanted to score a bicycle – it wasn't exactly a bike," said Kerr. "I just saw it behind me. I have done it a couple of times in practice over the years, but never got one in a game-like situation. I was just excited to get it. I saw it out there in front and had the opportunity to try to get a goal."
Virginia added two other shots to close the first half, while DeCesare added another that went wide right.
"We were playing awesome," said Kerr about the first half. "We had some team talks this past week to get it back together. I think we did that today. We came out and played as a team today, but we just didn't get the result we wanted."
At the end of the first half, Virginia held a 7-5 lead in shots, but the Blue Devils led 2-0 on the scoreboard.
The Cavaliers came out firing in the second half and scored two goals in a span of less than two minutes to even the match, 2-2, by the 49th minute. Virginia received tallies from Morgan Brian and Makenzy Doniak from very similar positions near the left corner of the box.
Just over three minutes later, Duke freshman
Christina Gibbons
blasted a right-footed attempt from just outside the box that hit the crossbar, which was the Blue Devils best chance to score in the second half. Virginia controlled most of the run of play in the second stanza outshooting Duke, 15-4.
Virginia netted the game-winning goal at the 79:37 mark as Shasta Fisher placed a cross from the right side in front of the goal to the feet of Gloria Douglas, who sank her first goal of the season to give Virginia a 3-2 lead.
Duke added one late shot by DeCesare but it went wide. For the match, Virginia outshot Duke, 22-9, with Kerr, freshman
Toni Payne
and DeCesare each leading the Blue Devils with two.
Kershner played all 90 minutes in goal and finished with a career-high seven saves. Morgan Stearns had one save for Virginia in the net.
"I could not be prouder of our group than I am tonight," said Church. "It is part of being a young team. You have to finish games. We are starting games well. We have kids that have never seen this speed of play. They will be ready to play."
Duke will next host 13th-ranked Virginia Tech on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 2:00 p.m.
Mollie Pathman
registered her 25th career assist on Duke's first goal. She ranks third overall on the Blue Devil career list.
• Senior
Kaitlyn Kerr
notched two points on the night to give her 70 on her career. This moved her into ninth place on Duke's all-time points list.
• Duke dropped to 1-3-1 at home this season.
• The Blue Devils have allowed 10 goals over the last four matches.
• Junior defender
Tabria Williford
excited the first half with an injury and did not return.
• Freshman
Malinda Allen
connected on her first collegiate assist on the second Blue Devil goal.
• Duke drops to 2-15 all-time against No. 1 ranked teams.

I Am Worried
Yes we have won the most competitive league in the world, and yes we are the best team in the world (this year), and yes we beat Liverpool and Chelsea that would grace any world league,
Renaldo and Tevez leave,Giggs and Scholes only play on occasions where will that leave our midfield, as they are the main drive behind this years win,where will the class back up be. if we have injurys?
Who will fill the void??Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

As a Liverpool fan it is weird for me to be talking about this but, I do not think Ronaldo will leave and I'm sure Tevez will stay if Manchester United win the Champions League. Also Scholes and Giggs are getting old and next season could possibly be their last. Also, if 2 or more of them 4 leave I'm sure Alex Ferguson will have some players in mind to replace them.
Dr I P Freely Dr I P Freely May 17, 2009 21:16 Flag
Correction you only beat Liverpool in the Premier table, but you lost to them twice. Your 1-0 goal tally for most of your matches doesn't impress me either. So be worried.

Comments about HFT 3-1/2 Square Ft. Genuine Leather Chamois:
I just bought a new car. I wanted something to gently wipe it down. This is going to do the trick. Very large so I was able to cut it into two pieces and still have a large cloth to use. Now I have two!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I bought it to replace my old garage sale purchase that was in pieces, full of holes and shredding. This one works great! I'd forgotten how a chamois was supposed to feel and work. No streaks, my truck looks great. I recommend rinsing between uses.

About Me Professional
This Chamois works well. The thickness of the chamois is impressive and allows for a lot of water to be soaked up into it. I have a small fleet of pick up trucks that we have our drivers wash each week. At first the chamois had some yellow coloring that would bleed from it but that quickly stopped and works quite well now. All our drivers commented on how well they were able to dry their vehicles without any residue.
Replacement for my 30 year old chamois
By Fly Guy
from Grand Rapids, MI
I purchased this chamois after my decades-old one finally started falling apart on me (although I still use it, just in smaller pieces). I took soap and washed the new chamois right away before using it and notice two holes afterwards that weren't there prior to washing it. I'll have to see if this one holds up. I prefer natural chamois over the micro-fiber stuff...just too old school, I guess.

Could be a little thicker but works fine
Good for the price
By Nspectr
from Pompano FL
This chamois is used for drying my car. Does a pretty good job. I was a bit disappointed on the thickness of the chamois and because of it's thinner composition, does not absorb as much water as my old one. I replaced a chamois purchased in 1999 and because of it's age, has several holes in it and also noted that it is now rotting and tearing much more often. I will give you a report on this one in 16 years from now to see if it holds up.

This is the worst chamois I ever used. I plan to return this tomorrow.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Happy BlackBerry Storm day!

Fools, money should look into the new Vertu Constellation: Now with diamonds
The BlackBerry Storm is now available and this is the day that countless CrackBerry addicts have been waiting for. At least until they read all the lackluster reviews about their supposed Jesusphone slayer. (Speaking of reviews…anyone see a super positive one?) Many Verizon locations are opening early today for the important launch so if you're BlackBerry thumbs are itch'n for some touchscreen action, we'll excuse you for a few hours.

Because of the focus on a randomly created world, Flagship has come up with the idea of "content over time" to keep their game interesting to players as time goes on. "There are two ways you can have content in a game [like this] -- one's over time and one's over geography," says Roper. "Most games do the 'over geography.' Content over geography is usually what people are kind of used to where you find new things because you travel to this new area, and that's where things are different. The content over time idea is that you can use the same setting and the same geography, but you get different events that occur there because things come to where you are."
In Hellgate, this idea applies to the smaller tasks that exist in the game world. While the game's story focuses on key quests that the player has to go through, there are tons of smaller tasks players can go after should they choose to do so, and these are the elements of the game that change over time. "Any time you go and talk to an NPC, they may have things they're interested in," says Roper. "If you want to help them out you can, but they aren't a part of the main world storyline. For example, you can go up to one of the shopkeeper type NPCs where you're going to buy and sell items, and he may say, 'I've had this big order come in to modify all these weapons with batteries and my supply is really low on batteries, so for every battery mod you bring me, I'm paying five times the normal price.' It's not a quest, but it's something that is a need or an interest that's a little task you can go do."
Taking the idea from Animal Crossing a step further, Flagship will also be able to add situations like these post-release to online players. "All that stuff will be in the game when it ships, but it is also a great way that we can continue to support the game once it's already out," Roper says. "It's a much easier thing to add than having to build out for example a whole new continent to explore, or a brand new dungeon to go delve, which is what the majority of MMORPGs have to do."

Landscape planted by Lancelot "Capability" Brown 1716 -1783
Brown was born in Northumberland, and moved south in his early twenties. He was appointed Head Gardener at Stowe in 1741, and remained there for ten years, leaving after the death of Lord Cobham to set up an independent landscape and architecture practice. In 1758 he applied for, and failed to obtain, the post of Head Gardener to Princess Augusta at Kew. However, in 1764 Brown was appointed Master Gardener at Hampton Court, and was engaged by George III to re-landscape Richmond Gardens. As at Stowe, his designs involved replacing the work of Bridgeman, and here also that of Kent. To Bridgeman's straight avenues, and Kent's follies, Brown preferred gently undulating lawns, with views between various-sized clumps of trees of a body of water in the middle-distance – a landscape seen as desolate by a number of critics. He therefore had all of Kent's buildings demolished, except the Hermitage, which was left as a ruin, and the Terrace removed, to integrate the river by taking the lawns right to the water's edge. He also created the Hollow Walk, in 1773, which was initially planted with laurels, but is now the Rhododendron Dell – the only surviving Brownian feature in the gardens.

I was hired as an Assistant Manager in June '04, and for health reasons the Store Manager left in Sept '04. This was a new store opening. I had 1 week of training with the CTM, and my Store manager was also training with me, he started 1 week before me. We then were told to hire and put the store together for grand opening on July 28,2004. We did all of the work, put racking together, setting schematics, unloading trucks (8 52foot trailers in 4 days full)and stocking and pricing. I took over the store in Sept '04, the back room filled to the roof with stock from grand opening, and was now getting auto shipements for the holiday seansons that were coming.
I was told that they were paying me the top pay for Assistant managers because I was so experienced, $10/hr, and when I was told they were making me Store manager, that I was being fairly compensated per my experience with $650/week salary. I was told I had to work a minimum of 52 hours a week, sounded fair.
I went from 6 employees to 4 going into the holiday season, this store is $1.20 millon/year. I NEVER went over payroll the first year. I worked with what I had. Hiring was hard cause no one in the area could pass the ever wonderful "Stanton Survey". You don't pass you don't get hired.
Theft in the store was unreal, caught 4 employees in the first 6 months stealing both cash and merch, and tried to keep the customer theft down. No cameras, if I wanted them I had to buy them myself out of my own pocket(no reimbersement), no security, EAS tag system - but we couldn't stop anyone and Family Dollar dosen't prosecute so the police are unwilling to come in a timely manner when called.
Most of the time there was only 1 or 2 employees, how safe is that? We have never be held up,but they are robbing us blind. I told the DM and emailed Loss prevention, thay were all aware of the issue, did all that we could at store level. At my last inventory we had 6.7% shrink, some of which was from employee theft at the beginning of the year the rest was customer theft.
My DM was fired on the same day of my inventory, and I was let go 1 week later, the reason given was they felt I was overwhelmed and this was a "good business decision". At that time I never had an anytime 5 under 2 and I had the lowest turnover rate in the district, dropped the payroll from 10.8% to 8.1%, had an average increase in sales of 10%, #4 out of 12 in district in sales, never been written up or repremanded.
I find out after the fact that every male Store managers in this region made more that I did. I was at $670/wk(after one raise)and they were starting males at $700 - $800 with little or no retail experience, sound fair. They offered my Assistant manager $500/wk to be Store manager, unreal.
When I went for unemployement they appealed it saying I was fired because of "Failure to protect Company Assets", at the hearing the Judge found in favor of me and stated that they did not show gross misconduct on my part or indiference.
There is so much I can say about Family Dollar, but the most imporant is:

I too have been the victim of Family Dollars unfair employment tactics.
Everything you stated in your post is true and I know this because I was a manager for 4 years and my treatment from this company mirrored yours. This company does in fact set you up to fail. It is almost as if they push you to your limit so you will quit or do something to get fired. I guess somehow this works for their company.
So I feel for you and say I am glad you are out.
Take care

I've used and recommended this plugin a ton, and has mostly been a big help.
But I like others have stumbled upon a buggy update, and this is literally the worst thing that a plugin can do to a WordPress site. It's data that is not unrecoverable thanks to revisions, but this is still totally unacceptable to destroy data.
1) Switching between languages erases data
2) Update erases data

Scientists are a smart lot, and oceanographers are no exception. The bare minimum requirement for getting your feet wet is a bachelor's degree in something ocean science-y (source).
That'd be enough to get you an assistant position on a research vessel, but something tells us you're looking to conduct your own research rather than clawing on to someone else's and hanging on for dear life. That means you'll be earning yourself a master's degree in some sort of specialty like biological, geological, or physical oceanography.
The fun doesn't stop there, though. If you want the government or some universities to give you thousands of dollars, a research team, and your own ship, then you'll probably need to have the word Doctor at the front of your name. Kind of like Doctor Doolittle, only don't let anyone catch you talking to the fish.
No, this doesn't mean you'll be performing surgery on the sea. It just means that when people talk about the ocean, everyone will look to you to make sure you're nodding.

Yes, Paris is the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysees and the Folies Bergeres. Mais oui, Paris is Notre Dame, the Louvre and rides on the Seine. But for those visitors who like to step off the beaten track, there are parts of Paris that are seldom frequented by tourists. The one we'd like to tell you about right now is a particular favourite of ours and one of the city's most unusual locations. It can be found in the 12th arrondissement, on the Avenue Daumesnil, just a stone's throw from the Place de la Bastille, and is called the Viaduc des Arts. Close to this place of artistic effervescence nestles the Hotel Marais-Bastille, the ideal starting and finishing point for all your unusual visits.

Trade Fairs in Paris for the late 2015 season in Paris, plus great gastronomy events
After the festive months of summer, the capital prepares to welcome the trade fairs and exhibitions of late August through to the tail end of 2015. The month of September is a rich one for sampling the greatness of French gastronomy, as usual, but there's also a whole host of great events coming to the capital which cater to a wide variety of interests.
Discover or rediscover the capital during the summer months with these unusual tours
Paris under the summer sun is an alluring city, inviting you to discover its hidden secrets and explore new horizons. Whether you're a Parisian or a visitor, there's always something new to discover about this city; its possibilities are endless. Take the opportunity to see what the more unusual tours are all about, because we think you'll be fascinated as you see Paris from a fresh perspective and make the acquaintance of places that are away from the usual tourist trails. Just to give you an idea of some of the incredible depth of interest our city has to offer, here are a few recommendations.
See the climax of the Tour de France and take a Paris Bike Tour
The summer months in Paris are warm and languid, but there's no shortage of things to do. Throughout the year and especially during the summer, the Paris Bike Tour offers a range of activities to please everyone. And while we're on the subject of bike tours, we must not forget the arrival of the Tour de France !
The Saint Germain des Près Jazz Festival 2015
The Saint Germain des Près district, located in the 6th arrondissement on the Left Bank of the Seine, has long enjoyed a reputation as having a certain cool, intellectual ambience. Unsurprisingly, this delightful part of Paris played a significant role in the rise to prominence of jazz in the mid-20th century. Today it is the setting for the annual Saint Germain des Près Jazz Festival, a relatively young but thriving event which regularly attracts some of the most creative and interesting talents in this particular genre of music. When you stay at the comfortable Hotel Marais Bastille, you are situated just across the Seine from the festival and can reach the event quickly and easily.
Roland Garros; The French Open tennis tournament
It's the only tennis Grand Slam event that is played on clay, and is generally considered to be the most physically challenging of them all. In 2015 the greatest tennis players in the world will once again be vying for the honour, prestige and glory that comes with victory in the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland-Garros stadium, and you can be there to cheer on your favourite contenders. Get your tickets now for May 24th to June 7th and enjoy one of the world's great sporting events, easily accessible from the Hotel Marais Bastille, where we'll be happy to help with your transport arrangements.
Victor Hugo House in Paris; a treat for literature lovers
Here at the Hotel Marais Bastille, we are within easy walking distance of the Place des Vosges, a beautiful square dating from the early 17th century. Designed and built by royal decree, it seems to embody the essence of the architectural charms of the Marais, a district steeped in history and culture. It is well worth visiting simply to sample the uniquely tranquil atmosphere of the place, but the Place des Vosges boasts an additional attraction for lovers of fine literature; it is the location of the Victor Hugo House in Paris.
The Paris Bastille; a testament to history
We at the Hotel Marais Bastille are proud of our location in such a historically significant section of Paris. The story of the Paris Bastille fortress is one that reverberated around the world and still has significance today. Built in the 14th century to defend the city from the English during the Hundred Years War, it later became a state prison and was famously stormed by 600 rioters on July 14th 1789. This key event of the French Revolution was a major blow in favour of liberty. The fortress was later demolished and the Place de la Bastille was built where it formerly stood. Some of the stonework can still be seen today close to the Boulevard Henri IV. Today the district is rich in interest. Here are some of the nearby places you will want to visit when you stay with us.
Pay a visit to the Museum of Romantic Life
The Museum of Romantic Life offers the perfect complement to a romantic getaway in Paris. Located in Pigalle, in the neighbourhood known as New Athens, the museum occupies a beautifully restored setting that is profoundly evocative of the romantic period. As we approach Valentine's Day it seems very fitting that you should discover this often overlooked aspect of Parisian culture.

Hopefully, this is just an isolated
case. A Dutch man had a pretty bad run in with Apple's new "MagSafe"
power connector on his MacBook Pro. Here's Apple's take on MagSafe:
The new power adapter with MagSafe
connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical
one. So, tripping over a power cord won't send MacBook Pro flying
off a table or desk; the cord simply breaks cleanly away, without
damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this
means less wear on the connectors.
In this case, the MagSafe connector
on fire and burned both the power adapter and MacBook Pro beyond
repair. Luckily for this user though, Apple was quick to respond to
the issue and is sending him a new unit ASAP:
"Apple support responded very well
(thanks Klaas) and fast. Before I called our local Apple support
line, the dutch engineers were already contacted by their US
colleagues (who saw the pics) to inquire if I already called in. I'm
getting a new MacBook asap and I will return my current one."
The pictures on the right were
originally posted to flickr by the MacBook Pro owner, but were asked
to be taken down by Apple while they investigated the issue.
quote: I was just using it as an example that microsoft is not perfect, either. :)
quote: If it´s only one machine until now why make a big HulaBaLula about it? I find it sensible.
quote: Macrosoft don´t need to ask for those tape/foil pics to be removed, ´cause the machines are build that way - nothing actually wrong just not so good, so then why bother??

A day after John Hollinger's NBA playoff odds indicated the Celtics would be the odd team out of the Eastern Conference playoff race, the C's are statistically entrenched in his top eight thanks to a 100-91 win over the Bucks in Milwaukee. Now, if only they could make the 76ers' odds of winning the Atlantic Division similarly vanish.
The 76ers have an 80.6 percent chance of winning the division, according to Hollinger. The Celtics? 11.9 percent. That could change in Philadelphia on Friday as the C's (25-21) trail the Sixers by just one game in the win column.
If history is any indication, Friday in Philly won't be pretty. The Celtics are 0-6 when they have to travel for the second night of a back-to-back (they did beat the Clippers a night after losing to the Lakers in the same Los Angeles arena), including a 32-point loss to the 76ers earlier this month.
However, the Celtics are 10-4 since the All-Star Game, owners of the league's second-best record since the break — behind only the NBA's No. 1 overall seed Bulls (12-2) and one win better than the surging Lakers (9-4). Who would have seen that coming with eight straight away games spread out over 6,000 miles looming?
But the Celtics will emerge from the season's longest road trip no worse than 4-4, including hard-fought losses to the Lakers and Nuggets (the Western Conference's current third and seventh seeds, respectively).
|Brandon Bass is starting to get what it means to be a Celtic
|03.15.12 at 10:48 pm ET
OAKLAND — Forward Brandon Bass has been remarkably consistent for the Celtics this season. He averaged 11 points and six rebounds a game in January and February and even after moving into the starting lineup full-time just before the All-Star break, his minutes, shots, points and rebounds haven't changed all that much.
Beneath that game in and game out consistency has been enormous growth, especially on the defensive end. More than that, Bass is truly coming to understand what it means to play for the Celtics, and play alongside Kevin Garnett.
"If you're a big and you play on the same team as Kevin Garnett, you're going to be a better defensive player," coach Doc Rivers said after the Celtics beat Golden State. "He's just going to talk you into it. He had one earlier in the game where he missed a rotation and you could see Kevin: He tells you. You may not like the way he delivers the message, but I think where Brandon has grown, he's gotten over the MFs and [understanding] what he's saying is really important."
Bass acknowledged that it's been a bit of a culture shock coming to Boston and yes, there are times when Garnett's constant NSFW barking gets on his nerves. But he's learned that he can also dish it right back and that's OK.
"You know what? Man. I have problems with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett because they throw a lot of words out there and sometimes I want to throw them back," Bass said with a bit of a grin. "At the end of the day I know they want to win. And at the end of the day I want to win. So if I throw it back, they don't mind. It's life. That's also what's made us closer. You can't be close when everybody's just being nice. Hey man, how you doing? You got to fight a little bit. Argue a little bit. That will make us closer and I think that will make us fight for each other on the court."
The Celtics have won eight of their last 10 games and while the only constant thing has been change, they are finally starting to get into a groove since Bass replaced Jermaine O'Neal in the starting lineup. With a regular starting five and a bench rotation of Avery Bradley, Mickael Pietrus, Greg Stiemsma and Keyon Dooling the Celtics are finally approaching normalcy.
It's also worth noting that while the core four All-Stars have remained intact, that nine-man rotation is entirely new except for Bradley who is getting the first consistent minutes of his short career.
"We had a bunch of new guys, especially myself," Bass said. "Everybody was on me about this, about that. I'm finally getting it. I knew it was going to take some time. I guess all the guys knew it was going to take some time as well. We're jelling and I just hope we can continue to do that."
|Fast Break: Kevin Garnett's heroics slay Warriors
|at 1:04 am ET
Unable to get a defensive stop down the stretch, tied 93-93 with the Warriors after old friend Nate Robinson tied the game on yet another drive to an open basket, the Celtics turned to Kevin Garnett, who sunk a 20-footer with 5.1 seconds remaining to help the C's survive 105-103 and improve to 2-1 on the West Coast road trip.
Garnett finished with 24 points (12 in the fourth quarter), seven rebounds and five assists, as the Celtics (23-19) moved within 1.5 games of the 76ers in the Atlantic Division. Brandon Bass added 22 points and nine rebounds, Mickael Pietrus scored 15 points off the bench and Rajon Rondo dished out 14 assists.
Robinson totaled 20 points and 11 assists, Klay Thompson scored a career-high 26 points and David Lee had 22 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors in the losing effort.
Hanging tough: Playing their third game in four nights, 3,000 miles from home, the Celtics started slow (shooting just 8-of-21 from the floor in the first quarter), and watching Robinson get to the rim with regularity didn't help matters. Still, the Celtics managed to stay within 25-21 after the first quarter — setting the tone for a tight game the remainder of the night.
The French quota: Just 3-of-18 from long distance in the month of March, Pietrus connected on his first four 3-pointers of the night and finished 5-of-6 from downtown, giving the Celtics some much needed offense (and minutes) off the bench. Whispers suggested his knee may be the reason for the recent struggles, but it didn't seem to bother him in Oakland.
Full Stiem ahead: Without a trade deadline deal, the Celtics will rely more and more on Greg Stiemsma, and the former D-League Defensive Player of the Year responded with eight points and eight rebounds. He's still got plenty of work to do, especially on the defensive end, but he's already given the C's more than they could've expected when they invited him to training camp in December.
Sharing is caring: Facing the younger, more athletic Warriors, the Celtics had to rely on ball movement and execution to keep up with them. Check and check. The C's assisted on 32 of their 40 field goals, making the extra pass time and time again to get buckets down the stretch — with the exception of a possession that resulted in the classic Paul Pierce fadeaway elbow jumper with 36.7 seconds left.
|Kevin Garnett and Celtics respond to Doc Rivers and his bitter 'beer face'
|03.10.12 at 10:49 am ET
Everyone associated with the Celtics – from players and coaches to support staff – was embarrassed by Wednesday's 32-point loss to the Sixers Wednesday night.
"That didn't sit well with anybody," Kevin Garnett said after Friday's 104-86 redemption at the hands of the Blazers. "Tough schedule. Philly, they kicked our ass, plain and simple. This was about getting on the right track, taking care of home, and more importantly, creating that momentum going on this long road trip."
That's why no one was particularly surprised to see Doc Rivers with a special edge Friday morning during the team's shootaround.
"Doc comes in, and you can tell how he's looking, like he's had no sleep and his hair standing on top of his head and he has the beer face," Garnett said. "What happened in Philly wasn't us but it happens and we accept it.
"[Friday] was a defensive mindset all the way through. A team we're going to see only once, it was important for us to start the game with a force. Paul kept saying in the huddle, before we went out [to start the game] that it was important that we get this game to start the road trip. I've always said for the momentum, you've got to get games like this. This is kind of like playing on the road because we are going to be away from home for a while so this game was very important."
As for this eight-game haul, a haul that began early Saturday morning with a cross-country flight, and will include a walk-through when the team lands in LA, Garnett said it's important not to be overwhelmed.
"One game at a time," he began. "When you look at it, it's actually kind of quite scary, just because of the lack of rest, the back-to-backs, the travel. But when you take it a game at a time… it's still what it is, actually.
"I was going to dress that up like it was something else. Nah, it's all messed up, it's all messed up. It is. I want to use another word but I won't. It's difficult but we're going to take it a game at a time. This is the longest I can remember."
Certainly the longest in his head coach's career as Rivers said he can never remember a trip like the one the Celtics are about to embark on.
'In my career, I've been in the league for 26 years," Rivers said, when asked if it's the longest one in several years. "It's a long road trip but I do think there's rest in it. The first two games are tough because of the long flight, you play and then you play the next day. But then after that, there's days off in between. I think the other one is the last, the Denver game before we go back East, that's a hard game. Whenever you play Denver on a back-to-back, that's a hard game because there's no oxygen.'
The Celtics hope they aren't grasping for too much air by the time they return home on March 25 to battle the Wizards.
|Report: Josh Smith wants out of Atlanta
|03.09.12 at 12:18 am ET
Hawks forward Josh Smith is having one of his best seasons, averaging 17.1 points and 9.8 rebounds per game for a team that has stayed in the thick of the playoff chase without Al Horford. But the 26-year-old Smith has had his problems in Atlanta, and Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Smith would like to be traded before the March 15 deadline.
Cunningham writes:
By the end of last season Smith wanted out of Atlanta because he believed he was singled out for unfair criticism by coaches and media. Those concerns have died down for the most part this season but now Smith believes he needs a fresh start with a franchise where he can better reach his potential on and off the court, according to one of the people with knowledge of Smith's thinking.
The Hawks have been fielding phone calls on Smith, with the Warriors mentioned as one possibility. The Celtics have been very loosely tied to the forward, but team officials shot down a report last week involving Kevin Garnett.
Smith, who played his high school ball at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia with Rajon Rondo, remains friends with the All-Star guard and he has one year left after this season on a contract that pays him $13 million.
|Rajon Rondo makes his point and joins Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson in rare air
|03.04.12 at 7:41 pm ET
It's almost as if Rajon Rondo wanted to make one final grand gesture to Danny Ainge that he'd be making a big mistake by trading him.
Rondo went out Sunday and posted the most impressive triple double in the NBA since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968, scoring 18 points, dishing out 20 assists and hauling down 17 rebounds in Boston's 115-111 overtime win over the Knicks at TD Garden.
Chamberlain was the last player in the NBA to match all of those numbers when he had 22 points, 25 rebounds and 21 assists in a 131-121 Philly win over the Pistons on Feb. 2, 1968. Why is that comparison so significant?
Many NBA historians recall that as the best statistical game in league history, the only double triple-double ever recorded. Rondo was just two points and three rebounds shy of joining Chamberlain as the second ever with 20 in three different categories.
All the while the numbers were piling up, Rondo said he had no idea.
'No, I didn't, honestly," Rondo said. "Just tried to make some great play calling and just worked out that my numbers showed up like they did.'
One thing Rondo has been more than aware of lately are the trade rumors involving his name that don't show any indication of quieting. If anything, Sunday's game might just perk up the eyes and ears of a GM or two.
"[Rondo] was more than above average," Kevin Garnett said afterward. "Trade talks are a really, really big motivator for him."
Another hall of fame name was thrown around after the game Rondo had. Magic Johnson was the last NBA player with at least 17 points, 17 rebounds and 17 assists in a game before Sunday. Johnson had 24 points, 17 rebounds and 17 assists on April 18, 1989.
'I'm just playing," Rondo said. "The biggest thing is we got the win. You know, [Paul Pierce] made that shot to send us into overtime, and that was big for us. You know, if you get those type of numbers and you lose, it's kind of irrelevant.'
Of all the great numbers he had, the 47 minutes and 47 seconds of playing time might have been the most impressive of all.
'I'm tired now. I wasn't tired during the game. I had no time and no room to get tired.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Report: Celtics-Hawks talks were 'purely exploratory'
|03.03.12 at 1:12 pm ET
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports (via twitter) said that while the Hawks and Celtics had discussed the possibility of a deal, such conversations remained preliminary.
Tweeted Wojnarowski: Atlanta did express an interest to Boston about Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett, but purely exploratory conversations, sources said.
Wojnarowski's report comes one day after another rumor suggested that the Celtics were interested in acquiring forward Josh Smith from the Hawks while dangling Kevin Garnett.

But the yanks have sought to remove Christian Purlsow and Ian Ayre from the board...not good for us! It means they now appoint their own people to the board meaning they will win any vote 4 to Martin Broughtons 1 whereas before they would have lost 2 - 3.
Sure, I'll do my best, and forgive me if my assumption insults you or anyone, but I presume Baseball is not largely followed in the UK? For argument's sake I'll assume so, but I will also assume you've heard of the New York Yankees, the most successful franchise in all professional sports with 27 championships. If, this sale does go through to the Boston Red Sox Ownership, it's a bittersweet kick in the groin for me as I am a lifelong Yankees fan and we hate Boston Red Sox, similar to our love for Liverpool (Yankees) and hatred for Manchester United (Red Sox), however, in this instance, I am putting that to the side, as we are discussing 2 different sports, cultures and business models and the potential saviour of our club!
The Red Sox are the 2nd most valuable Major League Baseball Franchise, trailing only the Yankees, with a current net worth of $870 million US. Their growth this year is estimated 4%, on par from the year before, and the year before that. Their revenues this past season are estimated at $246 million dollars, based on ticket sales, merchandising, tv, endorsements etc. And, the most telling statistic is, this year, their operating income was approximately $40 million dollars, the highest in baseball, $16 million more than my beloved Yankees, who are one of the richest teams in all the world. They operate at such a margin because they have an extremely strong front office, comprised of an owner and advisors who have been part of the team for years, and they involve 1 man who is considered the youngest/brightest mind in the game to run the day to day player/team operations (similar to Christian Purslow), Theo Epstein and he was named GM at 32 years old!
Since his appointment, the Red Sox have won 2 championships in recent years, and consistently challenge the Yankees for the division title (which is like winning your group in Europe and advancing right to the CL finals), resembling the way Chelsea and Man United compete. The Red Sox are built with a strong core of some high paid players, veterans/youth, they make great signings of foreign players from Japan, and South America without paying over their worth, and they have perhaps the strongest farm systems (youth/reserves) in the game. Each year, they bring up at least 1-2 extremely talented young players who go right into the lineup and perform in the highest pressure situations. They're built on toughness, a strict system similar to what Sir Alex does, they buy when they need to, in a controlled manner and are almost always spot on in finding the players they need to contribute to what the team does. They play with a very loose, free spirit and often seem as if they are winning and playing for fun. (During their World Series Championship in 2004, which was their first in 86 years, the players all admitted to drinking Tequila before each game to loosen up and as a sign of team unity).
They have played at Fenway Park since the 1920's, one of the most historical venues in all of sports, and rather than knock it down and build a new, they continue to upgrade, add seasts/boxes to keep the history and charm, while allowing for more fans/sponsors to generate more revenue. Bottom line, I hate the Red Sox as my rival, but they operate above and beyond in the "green" and have perhaps the strongest internal business model, and on field approach in the game. They were ravaged by injuries to many of their best players this entire season and still finished with the 4th best record of 32 teams. Top to bottom they are second only to the Yankees by way of them being so rich and having 27 World Championships. The owner John Henry is considered one of the best owners in American Sports, owning multiple sporting enterprises and businesses, with a personal net worth estimated at $860 million. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W._Henry
the deal is done, so say the BBC?
As of 2 am my time, from what I am seeing and hearing in the news, New England Sports Ventures, run by John Henry the principle owner of the Boston Red Sox has had his bid accepted by Liverpool and his first order of business is to try and meet the deadline set by RBS and pay off the entire debt owed, which would in turn force out Hicks and Gillette almost regardless of what legal actions they try to take. The RBS do not want to take over the club and want the debt cleared, so the fact that Henry has made the bid and is willing to pay this debt, that has nothing to do with him, nor created by him says something positive.
I cannot promise anything, but I can tell you that Henry is considered amongst the top owners and most respected business men / sports owners in America. He helped take over and turn around the Boston Red Sox and won them a championship in 2004, their first in 86 years.
Interesting to see how this will play out, but the most important and fundamental thing to consider is that without clearing the debt which is rapidly approaching a deadline, the club cannot go forward, but only go down, so John Henry is attempting to raise the ship.
Jason, has anything been said about a new stadium, and money for the manager?
- 1 Reply to OLD DOG
The only thing I can tell you, is that Henry has all the financial means to clear the debt and help raise the club in the right direction as he did with the Boston Red Sox. They were an average team going nowhere, and he has brought them 2 titles in 5 years.
It is said that the person who will be chosen to purchase the club will not be allowed to do so with intent on purchasing on the cheap and that they must have the means to help with the debt, which Henry is said to be ready to do, and the requirements by Broughton, Purslow and Ayre are that the buying party must be commited to moving forward with kick starting the stadium, so based on that he has met the first main 2 criteria needed. The third, obviously the one we all want to hear is that he will make billions available for players, however, that information is not being given yet as the debt will be cleared first, then the stadium situation evaluated.
It is said that the person who will take over is looking at a 1 billion pound investment to turn everything about the club around, debt, stadium and players. Henry and his American Sports ventures are extremely successful and have the funds needed, so if Broughton Purslow and Ayre have in fact agreed and chosen him, I think in due time we will hear more about player investments. For now, I can understand them taking it 1 step at a time.. debt first, the 2 yank liars out. I understand and have some skepticism myself, but it must be said that he is a good man, and it will be nice to see hicks and gillette see their way out the door...
I have not heard or read anything over here to suggest that, and that Liverpool are in a very healthy, solvent financial state as far as cash flow is concerned.
My understanding is that administration would only take place if RBS seized control of the club, had to default on the money owed by the club or could not find a party to pay it off.
Based on the news I'm hearing as it's all but concluded that John Henry will be the new owner, and immediately pay off the debt, that shouldn't be a concern. The only way aside from that is if those 2 bastards find a way to drag out legal proceedings beyond the 15th preventing the sale to go through out of spite alone, and RBS lose patiences with the entire situation..
I'm just going by what news is being provided to me, as it is beginning to make majore headlines all over here in US, which is extremely rare
Jason your 3rd paragraph said it all, The head of BBC financial affairs has said that the greedy two will try to drag out legal proccedings (which would not be benificial to them) as it would mean that they would walk away with nothing! but they are greedy, and desperate, and likely to do some crazy things befor they are finally gone! As i say we are not out of the woods yet, but we can see some light between the Trees.
Jason, I used to live in Boston for a few years and love the Red Sox (not quite as much as my love for LFC). I can still remember the joy when Red Sox came back from 0-3 to beat your beloved Evil Empire. It was very much like when Liverpool came back to beat AC Milan in Champions League.
So Jason, guess I'll have to hate you. Well, not really, you love Liverpool so I don't hate you. Just pls don't compare Man Utd with Red Sox and I won't compare how evil both Man Utd and the Yankees are. lol
Let's hope the deal go through and those greedy douchebags fcuk off asap.
The noises coming out suggest Hicks and Gillets legal attack is going to come to no fruit but its going to be niggling in the background for some time. The New England guys havent gone for huge bulk investment at The Red Sox but have been clever and progressive with team building.
Most of us are aware that the one thing the yanks did well for us was improve our marketing and that now means with no debts to service we can produce £59m per season (as it stands) toward squad investment without a sugar daddy. That spells 2-3 top, top players a season.
Just a quick note that I read somewhere (I can't find the article again, I'll re-post if I find it) that in '08 Henry enraged the sox fans with plans to raise ticket prices by 200% and also had plans to change the kit. I gather the wealth of opposition stopped him.
I just hope we get the right owners in. Ticket prices should remain competative for the market (as at the moment) and the commercial side of Liverpool should be further enhanced to enhance the revenue stream.

I have just used the drag & drop option in this plugin & it seems to have messed up my whole page order admin.
Previously in the dashboard I saw a parent/child structure of all my pages. Now I just see a long list of alphabetic child pages which makes finding the right page very difficult.
How do I return this to its default?
Also when I add & work on a new page it appears at the top of the tree view rather than the bottom as it was doing previously. I can't see what it is now doing with regards to the page order it is creating.

Fowler back in action, ready for role at H-back
Published: Monday, August 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 12, 2013 at 12:06 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | It's a catch people around Vigor High School still talk about.
The ball was clearly sailing out of the end zone, out of bounds and over everyone's heads before Jalston Fowler, the barrel-chested do-it-all athlete, skied to grab the ball. All 220-plus pounds of him. His size has always belied his athleticism.
So it comes as no surprise to those who know Fowler, known as "Nudie" to friends and teammates, that he would see his role increase in this year's offense. It's a role he's been begging for.
"I used to tell the quarterbacks all the time, 'Tell Coach to let me play H. Just let me play H-back, man,'" Fowler said. "It was something that I did in high school, so I was used to it. I've been doing it all my life."
University of Alabama coach Nick Saban said Fowler would play H-back and tailback this season, and through the first full week of fall camp he's practiced each day with the H-back and tight ends.
During Saturday's scrimmage, closed to the media, Fowler grabbed three receptions for 38 yards.
"Jalston is a good athlete," Saban said. "He's a powerful guy. He's 250-something pounds. He's got running ability and good hands and is a good receiver. So I do think he can make a contribution, not only as a runner but also as a guy who can play some H-back."
He averaged 7.7 yards a carry in 2012 before a knee injury in the second game forced him out for the season. He used that time to study the playbook and look at different formations in anticipation of his expanded role.
He's impressed his teammates early on in the transition.
"He looks great, just like he left off," tight end Brian Vogler said. "He's a hard-hitting guy who's not afraid of anybody. That's the exact same guy you're going to see at the H-back position. Jalston's so strong and he stays so low that he's a powerful guy. Him being a running back gives him that aspect of just running into people nonstop. You have to get used to that. He brings finesse with catching the ball and coming to a quick stop."
He lost more than 20 pounds in the offseason, he said, going from 267 to 246 by eating right and focusing on training during the offseason.
"I just want to be a big help anywhere I can be, anywhere on the field: receiver, H-back, running back," Fowler said. "I just want to be versatile. Really I just want to help the team. I'm just happy to be back.
"I bought into the program last year, but I've bought more into the program this year because I was hurt. Just believe in the coaches. They won't steer you wrong. They know everything. They've been doing this for years. When you buy into they system it's going to go pretty well for you."
