Attack Dog Politics
The rumors of this new Hillary book coming out are making me a bit queasy. Drudge has been running teasing links about it for a few days now, and I can't get past the little niggle in the back of my head that doesn't like what looks like a blatant attempt at character assassination.
I'm not sure what is actually going to be in the book, I don't know what these supposedly Hillary-destroying accusations are going to look like, and I certainly don't have a handle on how true the allegations will be. But I do know that, unless there is something truly damning, I would rather see conservatives mount attacks on her ideas instead of her past deeds.
Rumors that the book "won't be pretty" and is brimming with "new dirt" have circulated in the New York press for the past four months.
Yesterday, online newshound Matt Drudge claimed the project was dubbed "Hillary in the Raw," with content so explosive it could jeopardize Mrs. Clinton's candidacy.
"New dirt." Instead of stooping to National Enquirer style politics, how about reminding people about Hillarycare? Anyone with even marginal fiscal conservative leanings or with a small government bent would quake in fear at the idea of President Hillary Clinton. Her nationalized health care idea would have made Bush's exceptionally costly pill bill, our already overburdened Medicare/Medicaid expenses, and the giant IOU known as the Social Security trust fund look miniscule in comparison.
Unless there is something truly, surprisingly, relevant, I would much rather see authors going after her policy ideas than her personal life.

A niggle? What the hell is a niggle?
A slightly poorly used word. It means a small, unnecessary worry--I usually ignore the "unnecessary" part and just think of it as a small worry.
There's the rub: Hillary's personal life IS her policy.

Iota edges St. Edmund's
By Tom Dodge
EUNICE – Iota's Brett Broussard booted a 20-yard field goal with two seconds left on the clock to push the Bulldogs to a 23-20 win over St. Edmund.
With the scored tied with 1:22 left in regulation, the Blue Jays were forced to punt and Bulldog Trey St. Andre made the run of the night with a 35-yard punt return to move the ball to the St. Ed 17.
After three straight runs by St. Andre to move the ball to the Blue Jay three, Broussard then nailed the game-winning kick.
'The Blue Jay pride came out and we played a lot better than we did last week," St. Edmund head coach Tom Andrus said remembering the 20-8 loss to Sacred Heart in the season opener. "We played good football tonight, we just ran out of steam at the end of the fourth quarter.
"Big plays killed us and they took advantage of them."
"We made the plays on defense when we needed to in the second half," Iota head coach Marcus LeJeune said.
The Blue Jays took an 8-0 lead on their first drive of the night, aided by two passes by Doug Zaunbrecher to Robert Sanders and Andre Aguillardto to move the ball into Bulldog territory.
Zaunbrecher capped off the drive with a 45-yard scoring strike to Wesley Cachere with 5:57 left in the first period.
Zaunbrecher found Bradley Bergeron open for the two-point conversion to push the Jays ahead 8-0.
The Bulldogs quickly responded with a five-play drive led by St. Andre's strong running, including a 23-yarder to move the ball inside the Blue Jay 10.
St. Andre capped off the drive with a 1-yard run with 2:47 remaining in the period.
Brenten Lathier's extra point attempt was blocked by Adam Clause as the Jays held on to a 8-6 advantage.
St. Edmund had a chance to increase their lead early in the second period, but an 11-play drive was stopped when Zaunbrecher was tackled on fourth-down at the Bulldog 4.
Iota gave the Jays a second chance when St. Andre fumbled two plays later at the Bulldog 9.
On third-and-goal after a holding penalty pushed the Jays back to the Iota 16, Zaunbrecher connected with Chachere on a touchdown at the 7:56 mark before the intermission.
The two-point conversion pass attempt failed, but the Jays led 14-6.
Iota quickly responded once again on a, three-play, 63-yard drive all on the legs of St. Andre who scored on a 10-yarder with 6:09 left in the half.
St. Andre ran in the two-point conversion to force a 14-14 tie.
The Jays responded with a six-play, 75-yard drive begun with 45-yard reception by Chachere and capped off by a 6-yard run by Zaunbrecher.
The two-point conversion pass failed, but the Jays led 20-14 with 3:56 left in the second period.
Neither team scored in the third period and the two defenses battled for field position.
Iota finally gained an advantage to take over the Blue Jays 35 after a short punt early in the fourth period.
On fourth down-and-3 at the Blue Jay 13, Bulldog quarterback Ben Thevis connected with Broussard for a 12-yard gain to the St. Ed 1.
St. Andre ran to the left side on the next play and scored his third touchdown of the contest.
Broussard's extra point failed, but he made up for it with the last-second field goal to seal the Iota win.
"I had a lot more confidence to kick it from four-yards out than I did from running it from four yards out," LeJeune said of his decision to attempt the field goal at the end of the game.
"I rolled the dice," he said with a smile. "I would rather be lucky than good and it worked tonight."
St. Andre finished with 250 yards on 33 carries to spark the Iota offense.
St. Edmund (0-2) travels to Hamilton Christian Friday night, while Iota (2-0) hosts South Beauregard.

Joy Is Vital
After two days of Rosh Hashanah and a very long day on Yom Kippur, you'd think that Jews would be exhausted. Isn't it enough already?
But no, we still have Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Sukkot has the most mitzvot: to dwell in the sukkah (booth), to take the four species and to be joyful — oh so joyful.
Surprisingly, the commandment to be joyful is repeated three separate times. Why so often? Maybe because this is the hardest of all the mitzvot. Shaking the lulav is not hard. Building a sukkah is challenging, but not really hard. But being oh so joyful?
Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, the late 18th century Chasidic master, taught about joy in a way that resonates with a contemporary audience: "Finding true joy is the hardest of all spiritual tasks. If the only way to make yourself happy is by doing something silly, do it. If despite your desire to be happy you feel down, draw strength from happier times gone by. Eventually joy will return. If you don't feel happy, pretend to be. Even if you are depressed, put on a smile. Act happy. Genuine joy will follow. Get in the habit of singing a tune. It will give you new life and fill you with joy. Get in the habit of dancing. It will displace depression and dispel hardship. Always remember: joy is not ... incidental to your spiritual task; it is vital."
Many of us struggle with being joyful; we're good at worrying, good at existential angst. But are we good at joy?
What does Sukkot teach us about what joy really is? Think about the season. What are we celebrating? One thing is that we made it through Yom Kippur. We have atoned for our sins. We learned again — through the fast, through our hard work of introspection, through our communal prayer — that even though we're not perfect, even though we made mistakes, change is possible and that it is possible to begin again.
That is a cause for joy.
And, of course, we are celebrating the harvest. Sukkot is the fall harvest festival — the lulav, etrog, myrtle and willow are all produce of the land of Israel. So Sukkot connects us to that land and reminds us how important Israel is to us.
And those four species, so different from each other, represent the different parts of our bodies: lulav, our spine; myrtle, our eyes; willow, our mouth; and etrog, our heart.
We shake the lulav in all six directions, unifying the disparate parts of ourselves and the different parts of the world. So that's a cause for joy, too. It is the promise that in our fragmented lives and in this broken world, we can still hope for wholeness — and work for it. That too is a source of joy.
There are other harvests as well, not just for a community but also for each of us as individuals. Sukkot reminds us to think of the abundance of our lives and all we have to make us grateful. If we stop and notice those blessings, that too is a source of joy.
Sukkot is a moment when we notice what we usually take for granted. We build a sukkah, a temporary booth covered with greens or bamboo, material that was once alive, and yet we can still see the sky. We bring into the sukkah what is most important: family, friends, good food. We're not in a rush in the sukkah; the mitzvah is to sit there, to relax, to enjoy. We invite not only family and friends, but our spiritual ancestors — ushpizin (Sukkot guests), Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, a different pair for each night. And we remember other ancestors as well.
In our sukkah, we go around the table and ask people whom they would like to invite into the sukkah with them, people who are no longer alive, perhaps, or family and friends who live far away. So what is most important? Family, friends, memory ... and the time to breathe a little. All that is a cause for joy.
The Torah gives us a reason for this holiday: that our generations may remember that God caused us to dwell in sukkot when God brought us out of Egypt. The great commentator Ramban asked: "Sukkot, really? Agricultural booths in the desert? Probably not. What were the sukkot in the desert?" His answer: "the clouds of divine glory that accompanied us in the desert; that's where we lived." For 40 years we didn't have homes, we didn't have cities ... we didn't have things. Yet because we felt God's presence, we had everything we needed.
Maybe that is the ultimate cause for joy — knowing that we have everything we need. And that what we need is what we can bring with us into the sukkah that we build, to help us remember what is important — not our houses, not our cars, not our computers or iPhones. Those things are not really the source of joy.
Joy comes from being grateful for what really matters, and through that gratitude we feel the presence of God.
No wonder Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav teaches that joy is not merely incidental to our spiritual quest. It is vital.
Chag Sameach.
Laura Geller is senior rabbi of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, a Reform congregation.

Shinde comments on BJP, RSS 'irresponsible': Nitish
Kumar said if Shinde has any documents in support of his charge, he should initiate action.
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday described as "irresponsible" Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's remarks linking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to Hindu terrorism and asked him to initiate action if he has any information or documents suggesting such charges. "His statement (linking the BJP and the RSS to Hindu terrorism) is irresponsible and reflects his immaturity," Kumar said.
The Janata Dal (United) leader also said that Shinde should realise that he is the home minister of the country and not merely a Congress leader. "As a Congress leader one can make any statement suitable to party but he (Shinde) should realise that he is home minister of the country and should speak on such issues in that capacity and not merely as a Congress leader," Kumar said after paying respect to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on his anniversary.
Kumar said if Shinde has any information or documents in support of his charge against the BJP and the RSS, he should initiate action. "The irresponsible statement of Shinde reflects his immaturity," he said adding such things sends a wrong message in the society and vitiate the environment.
Addressing the AICC meeting at Jaipur on Sunday, Shinde had said, "...we have got an investigation report that be it the RSS or the BJP, their training camps are promoting Hindu terrorism. We are keeping a strict vigil on all this."
Kumar also congratulated Rajnath Singh on becoming national president of the BJP. Singh, who had earlier served as party chief, is an experienced leader, he added.

New advocates and exam success at Appleby
Appleby Isle of Man is celebrating the addition of two new advocates and the exam success of two trainees as it continues to strengthen its 126 strong team, which now includes more than 30 lawyers and 36 fiduciary staff.
Katherine Johnson joined Appleby as a trainee advocate in 2011 after success at the University of York and the College of Law, York. She was called to the Manx Bar in November 2013 following a two year Period of Articles and achieving a commendation in the Manx Bar exams. Katherine will be based in Appleby's Corporate & Commercial team and has experience in a broad range of corporate matters, including insurance and regulatory advice, legal due diligence, and corporate restructuring. She has recently returned from a four month secondment in Appleby's Guernsey office where she strengthened her multi-jurisdictional expertise and worked on a number of banking and asset finance transactions.
Appleby's Corporate & Commercial practice has also welcomed Alexandra Watterson as an associate after she was called to the Manx Bar in November 2013. Alexandra also joined Appleby as a trainee in 2011 after successfully completing her studies at the University of Leicester and the College of Law, Chester. During her Articles, Alexandra gained experience in a broad range of corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, fund and financial services, legal due diligence, banking and asset finance transactions and multi-jurisdictional corporate restructuring.
"On behalf of all at Appleby I would like to congratulate both Alexandra and Katherine on their admission to the Isle of Man Bar," commented Nick Verardi, partner and corporate & commercial practice group head in Appleby (Isle of Man) LLC. He continued: "They have worked extremely hard during their time with the firm and displayed great skills and knowledge. I have no doubt that they will be an excellent addition to our expanding team and I wish them every success during their careers with us."
Trainee advocates Sophia Wong and Andrew Newton are also celebrating after passing the Manx Bar exams. Both joined Appleby in September 2012 as trainees and are currently completing their Period of Articles. Appleby (Isle of Man) LLC managing partner Sean Dowling said: "Andrew and Sophia should be very proud of their success, which they have both worked hard for. We are delighted to have such talent in our team."

Prince Charles gave Princess Di a diamond for her 23rd birthday this month—Diamond, as in Neil, that is. On July 5 the royal couple joined more than 11,000 other fans who packed Birmingham's National Exhibition Center for singer-songwriter Diamond's third stop on his first European tour since 1977. "I've been a fan ever since I saw The Jazz Singer," says the Prince, referring to Diamond's 1980 mod-rock version of the Al Jolson film.
As a treat for Di's July 1 birthday, Charles had asked Diamond if he would dedicate a portion of the show's proceeds to the Prince's trust fund for disadvantaged youngsters. Of course Diamond would. And he came into Birmingham on a roll, having scored sellouts in every show since the June 23 London opening, with teenagers scaling the 30-foot walls to crash his concert in Dublin's Croke Park. "He was adored," the Sunday Times cooed.
The Princess' birthday bash was more of the same. From the moment he strutted onstage in a plum-colored shirt to whang out his opening number, America, with cannons firing and lasers flashing on Old Glory and the Union Jack, he had the audience hooked.
Diamond played straight to the royal fans. The seven-months pregnant Di was seated on Charles' right, and while introducing the number Play Me, Diamond urged "everyone here tonight to turn to the person on their right and give them a kiss." The Prince and Princess demurred, but Di was not so shy when Diamond launched into Forever in Blue Jeans. "I want to see everyone up shaking their fannies," he called. "Come on, everybody, have you got the nerve?" Diana came right to her feet, followed swiftly by others in the royal party of about 40. Swaying from side to side, she clapped to the beat, shooting smiles at Charles, who seemed to be clapping three times slower—and only on the off-beat.
The Di and Diamond show, with the uninhibited Princess clearly showing the shape of things to come, gave new impetus to the big British gossip game of whether the forthcoming royal baby will be a boy or a girl (twins are now considered a long shot, offered at 10 to 1 in bookie shops). Charles knows the child's sex and won't say, but palace insiders claim it's a girl. Di refuses to ask her doctor what he found in her six-month scan or be told. The birthday girl still wants a surprise birth.
The Princess was delighted with her birthday Diamond. "I wanted to see you in 1977," she said, "but my father wouldn't let me. But now he can't tell me what to do." Later she got another gift, an enormous stuffed Garfield from Diamond's son, Micah, 6, for Prince William. "He's awfully fat," commented Di. "We'll have to give him his own seat on the helicopter when we leave."

Andaz Celebrates Local Art and Culture in London
We love Andaz for its commitment to inspiring experiences that reflect the local neighborhoods. So in London, we're especially in love with Andaz Liverpool Street's Room with a View bespoke street art series inspired by the culture of the local area. The hotel is now offering guests an artistic experience in four of their Large King guest rooms where each room features work from a different artist and their individual interpretation of East London's past, present or future.
The first of the four rooms is created by Londoner Chris Price and his wife and collaborator Delisia Howard. An accomplished illustrator and author, Chris has had exhibitions all around the world, including London, Australia and Mexico, while Delisia's East London upbringing makes for a lifetime of memories which is reflected in her work.
The second artist is Patrick Vale, whose creative piece will be launched in early October. Patrick is renowned for his work based on cities and architecture, and recently released a time lapsed film "Empire State of Pen" featuring a freehand drawing of the view of Manhattan from the Empire State Building.
The next mural to be launched will be from artist ILoveDust, which will be ready for guests in January next year. The multi-disciplinary artist, based on the south coast of England, is known for fresh, innovative illustrations and graphic designs, aimed at delighting our senses.
The final room will be ready between April to July is from artist Patrick Morgan, an internationally renowned British artist. Patrick's works explore various themes from pop culture to modern living, with his previous work including projects for Coca-Cola and Starbucks.
For the art fans out there, these four rooms offer a unique experience and are certainly not to be missed – be sure to book quickly to avoid disappointment!
Further information and booking details can be found at www.andazliverpoolstreet.com.

After Ireland lost the first two wickets for 13, Chloe Tryon and Dane van Niekerk shared the next four wickets to reduce Ireland to 17 for 6.
Melissa Scott-Hayward and Mary Waldron halted the collapse for a bit, surviving for the next nine overs. But Marizanne Kapp took two quick wickets to leave them at 38 for 8.
The last two batsmen also resisted for a bit before Scott-Hayward became the last wicket to fall, for 71-ball 20.
Van Niekerk finished with 3 for 8 from 5.3 overs and Tryon, Kapp and Shabnim Ismail took two each.
South Africa openers Lizelle Lee and Trisha Chetty started slow in their chase before both fell in quick succession in consecutive overs for 15 and 24 respectively. Mignon du Preez and Kapp took them home in the 14th over for their first win of the series.
Table-toppers Pakistan and South Africa will play the last league game today before the series final on Friday.
Brief Scores: South Africa: 54 for 2 (Chetty 24) bt Ireland 53 all out (Van Niekerk 3-8, Ismail 2-5, Tryon 2-10) by eight wickets.The Peninsula

Tamil actor Kishore to star in 'Valal'
However, the much awaited movie might release on Thala's birthday!
The multi starrer movie has been raking news for the past few months. The new addition to the majestic cast of the movie is Kishore, who plays a pivotal role in the movie. The Vishnuvardhan film, tentatively titled 'Valai' already has Ajith, Arya, Nayanthara and Taapsee in the lead cast.
"I am playing the role of an anti-terrorist squad member. I wouldn't say I am Ajith's adversary in the film, but my role has a lot of scope. I still have to shoot for a few more weeks," says Kishore. He also expressed that he considers VIshnu to be one of the most comfortable directors to work with, and that he feels special to be a part of this movie.
The crew will wind up shooting shortly and quickly enter into the post production phase. The much awaited movie might release on Thala's birthday!

Theater Review: Don't Fear the Banter of The Real Thing

The revival of Tom Stoppard's tantalizingly unrequited romance between mind and body both charms and challenges its audience. And also, one senses, its cast.By Scott Brown
We got our hands on two early drafts of the screenplay and figured out why the movie wound up a failure.
"I always find the American theater is slightly locked in the nineteenth century."

Surajkund International Crafts Mela
When : 1st February to 15th February, 2016
Location : Delhi
Surajkund is an ancient reservoir of the 10th century, literally meaning 'Lake of the Sun', is an artificial Kund (lake or reservoir) built in the backdrop of the Aravalli hills. In the backdrop of the lake, during the spring season, a colorful traditional craft festival of India is held. Traditional artists, painters, weavers and sculptors from all parts of the country participate in this annual celebration. The theme normally is specific to a state of India and this is depicted at the entrance to the Mela grounds. This provides an ambience of that particular state with characteristic colors, materials, architecture, furniture and decorations. Surajkund Mela is located at a distance of 8 km from South Delhi in Faridabad. As like all the Melas in India a food festival covering some of the popular cuisines from different parts of the country are available. Entertainment in the form of famous rhythms, dances and folk theatres of India are also showcased during the festival.
"All you need to do is relax, enjoy and experience the Incredible India."

Poa annua Is Starting to Get Nervous
Human beings have walked on the moon. Computers have taken over how we communicate and many other aspects of our lives. But selective control of Poa annua in bentgrass putting greens still does not exist - at least not yet.
Those who have read my article, "FLOG - What Turfgrasses Would Call It If Given A Choice" (http://gsr.lib.msu.edu/2010s/2010/100120.pdf), know that I suspect turfgrass plants speak to each other. I'm convinced the main topic of discussion these days among Poa annua plants is a new chemical - methiozolin.
So why is Poa annua nervous, even in the near-ideal growing environment of the Pacific Northwest? Early experimental use of methiozolin indicates the future could be very interesting regarding Poa annua reduction on bentgrass putting surfaces.
There have been many products available for the reduction of Poa annua, but none have successfully and consistently removed this grass from bentgrass greens. Methiozolin, a new entry in the anti-Poa crowd, is being tested at several universities with tests going out at over a dozen golf courses in the Northwest region. This product may have exactly what is desired for removing Poa annua from any established turfgrass surface.
Results at Washington State University were viewed earlier this year and recently confirmed by Todd Lupkes, superintendent of Palouse Ridge Golf Course at Washington State University in Pullman, and Charles Golob, research associate in the WSU turfgrass management program. The material appears to be very effective in removing Poa annua slowly from bentgrass greens, with three applications spaced approximately two weeks apart.
Very little turf discoloration and no bare areas were noted. How can that be? Apparently it has everything with how the chemical selectively interacts only with Poa annua by disrupting the cell-wall biosynthesis. As a result, the Poa annua plants cannot compete with the actively growing bentgrass.
What about the Poa annua seeds lurking in the soil profile waiting to germinate? This is where this chemistry becomes very interesting. Based on greenhouse studies completed at WSU, methiozolin also has very distinct pre-emergence characteristics. For this reason, golf courses with high percentages of Poa annua are not good candidates for the trial use of this product.
The sites granted EUPs (Experimental Use Permits), beginning in the fall of 2013 or the spring of 2014, have very high bentgrass/fescue populations. However, there is at least one exception to this conservative approach. Wildhorse Resort in Pendleton, Ore., has as much as 40 percent Poa annua on their greens, and superintendent Sean Hoolehan is working with the product. Will it leave bare areas or slowly transition back to creeping bentgrass? Based on my personal observations after visiting Wildhorse in late July 2012, I'm thinking the latter.
When the individual research plots on the practice green were first viewed at Wildhorse (whose greens were originally Providence bentgrass), there was no discernible color difference between the plots. From the four check plots to the four with the highest rates, and every combination in between, there was no discernible color difference approximately one month after the last application.
However, when we referred to the plot plan describing the location of each plot in the research study, there was a noticeable overall reduction in Poa annua in the four plots with the highest rate of methiozolin. This was easily noticeable since Hoolehan also instituted a Trimmit® program. The reduced growth and minor discoloration from the Trimmit® applications was the perfect visual comparison to the differences noted between the various methiozolin plots.
Even though all the Poa annua had not been removed from the plots treated with the highest rate of methiozolin, the reduction in Poa was obvious when compared to the other plots.
The question now is: "Will this occur as smoothly at other golf courses in the future?" While that remains to be seen - at least in the Pacific Northwest - the Poa annua is beginning to get nervous.
The above report is courtesy of the USGA and originally appeared in the September 7, 2012, edition of the USGA Green Section Record - http://www.usga.org/course_care/regional_updates/regional_reports/northwest/Poa-annua-Is-Starting-To-Get-Nervous---August-2012/.
Larry Gilhuly is the Director of the Northwest Region of the USGA Green Section. He has spent the last 29 years making Poa annua feel both comfortable and nervous at golf courses throughout the Western states. He and fellow agronomist Derf Soller would be happy to do the same at your golf course. Contact them at email@example.com or email@example.com on this or any other topic related to your golf course maintenance program.

Screwing the pooch is a nonsensical action that is being done while a major fuck up is occuring or has occured.
Management have screwed the pooch while the competition gained the upperhand.

This occasional paper series welcomes submissions of three different sorts:
- Articles based on new and original primary source-based research. These will normally be at a stage approaching final revisions prior to submission to a journal or book for publication. The idea is that such articles will benefit from early exposure in the public domain where feedback from readers is encouraged. Such articles should usually be not longer than 12,000 words (excluding notes and references).
- Survey and speculation pieces, which may be historiographical or methodological in focus, of up to 10,000 words (excluding notes and references).
- Short pieces (up to c. 3,000 words) such as
- reactions or replies to recently published books or articles which are more extended in scope than a book review
- comment on a particular historical source or historical methodology.
The appearance of a paper in the series does not preclude subsequent publication in revised form in an academic book or journal. The author retains the copyright of the material.Submissions
Submissions should follow the format and conventions outlined in the Cardiff Historical Papers Guidelines and be sent electronically to the General Editor, Dr Gerwin Strobl.

Jumping To Conclusions: The Wheels Are Coming Off The St. John's Rebuilding BusPosted by mlemaire on December 9th, 2011
In 2010, after six lackluster seasons — including zero NCAA Tournament appearances — under head coach Norm Roberts, St. John's basketball needed to make a switch. But the program didn't just need a coach who could develop players and win games. They needed a walking, talking defibrillator. Someone who could inject some life and enthusiasm back into one of the country's most storied programs. What they got was Steve Lavin, an affable former television personality with plenty of coaching pedigree and the desire to talk to everybody he ran into.
It didn't matter that Lavin hadn't coached college basketball since he was relieved of his duties by UCLA in 2003, the buzz was back. Red Storm Athletic Director Chris Monasch said, with Lavin, "St. John's is poised to recapture its legacy as New York's college team." Lavin wasted no time, hitting the recruiting trail running and accepting every interview that came his way. He assembled an experienced and energetic staff and recruits took interest.
Last season, coaching a roster that boasted nine seniors, including the team's top six scorers, Lavin earned plenty of praise and accolades as he led the Red Storm to a 21-12 record and its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2002. Everyone knew the team would take a step back this season due to the mass graduation but most figured it was merely a bump in the road. After all, Lavin was bringing in the nation's third-ranked recruiting class, a nine-man behemoth that had a player or two at almost every position. And thanks to Lavin's effusive personality and charm, high-ranked recruiting classes were expected to become the status quo at St. John's in short order. Then, rather quickly, the bus started to break down.
