I will be running a new interview with one of the best MLB draft prospects 2010 has to offer each Sunday and Wednesday up until June, and you can click here to find an up to date archive of them all.
As always, you can friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter to get notice of when the newest interviews are put up, as well as to contact me with any questions or comments you might have.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Are your height and weight still 6'1", 175 lbs?
Drew Vettleson: I'm actually 6'1", 185 lbs now. I'm trying to increase my weight and get ready for what could happen in June. Trying to be a more physical player.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Do you play any other sports besides baseball?
Drew Vettleson: I also play basketball and we actually have our playoffs starting soon. I've always played basketball, it's a fun sport, and I like to play multiple sports because it keeps you in shape and makes sure you're not just working the same muscles. It helps you to be more athletic when you're playing other sports. In Washington it rains a lot, so when you can't get outside you have to play other sports like basketball.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Lets just cut right to the chase, and I know you're probably sick of the questions, but tell me about the switch-pitching.
Drew Vettleson: My mom is left-handed and my dad is right-handed, and they're always playing slow-pitch, so when I was younger I'd pick up the glove of whichever one I was with and start throwing with that arm. It kind of stuck, which ended up being pretty cool because I'm one of the only ones around that was able to do it. Then I heard about Pat Venditte, and he actually gave me a call a couple of months ago, and we talked about it, so that was pretty cool.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What are you naturally?
Drew Vettleson: I'm a natural lefty, but I've evolved into a right-hander. Defensively I play right-handed.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: You throw harder from the right side now though, correct?
Drew Vettleson: Yeah, it was kind of weird, my right hand just all of a sudden started taking over, which was kind of nice because if I had stayed a lefty I would have never known that I could throw even better right-handed.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Are you more comfortable from one side?
Drew Vettleson: Yeah, I feel more comfortable right-handed.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Was the call from Venditte out of the blue?
Drew Vettleson: It was cool because it was just out of the blue. He just gave me a call because he had heard of me through some websites and we just talked for a while about how I started. He said to keep it going because it's a rare thing, and to use it to my advantage because baseball is all about getting people out and if you can gain an extra advantage by throwing with either arm, then you should take it to the fullest. It was pretty cool.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Oregon State has a great recent tradition. What is it specifically that drew you to them?
Drew Vettleson: The atmosphere was great. I went to a game and it was awesome to see how the fans were so into it. The program has been on the rise, especially with the two national championships, and I wanted to go to a place where I would have a chance to go to Omaha and experience all of that great baseball. It helped that the coaches were great guys and very nice people.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What other schools were you considering?
Drew Vettleson: I was considering WSU and Oregon.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How much have you thought about the draft?
Drew Vettleson: Oh man, it's something that's very exciting and I'm definitely considering it. I like getting all the mail and talking with all the scouts – it's just a lot of fun.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What's your dream when you think about playing professionally?
Drew Vettleson: I picture being on TV and being successful and having a great career; something that people can talk about.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How many teams have you heard from?
Drew Vettleson: I've talked to every single team.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How would you describe yourself as a hitter?
Drew Vettleson: I would say that I'm consistent as a hitter. It all starts with the mental approach, where if I strike out or do something bad I don't press as much because I believe that you just have to tough it out and go on. Baseball is just a bunch of failures, so if you keep a level head and believe in yourself it makes it easier to play and hit.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How about a technical analysis of your swing?
Drew Vettleson: I have a straight up and down stance, and my hands are a little lower than everybody else, just above the waist and straight back – I try to keep them as far back as I can. I feel I get more lift with my hands like that, and I like to attack the ball.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Where do you hit in the lineup?
Drew Vettleson: Third.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What is hitting with wood like for you?
Drew Vettleson: In the batting cages I always use wood because if you don't hit it right it's not going to come off the bat good. Making sure I can use wood all the time and get that solid contact will just help me in high school with the metal, where you can hit it off the end of the bat and still get a single. So I always use wood as much as possible. It is definitely a challenge using wood – going to Area Codes and being as consistent as I was made me happy. I faced a lot of top pitchers in the nation, and we were hitting with wood.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What's your personality out on the field?
Drew Vettleson: I think I'm calm, but I'll always have a smile on my face. When things are going wrong the only way to turn things around is by having a good time. I'm the one on the field whose always happy and has a smile on his face.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What can you tell me about your defense?
Drew Vettleson: In high school I'll play a little infield, but outfield is definitely my place. I love all the diving catches and throwing guys out at home. Defense is something I take pride in, and you have to have it to win, but my favorite thing is hitting.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: As a pitcher tell me about your arsenal on the mound from the right side.
Drew Vettleson: I throw a fastball, knuckle curve, and a circle changeup. My fastball from the right side is 90-93 MPH, curve in the low 80s, and change in the high 70s. When I was younger my dad didn't want me to throw a regular curve until my arm was more developed so I learned the knuckle curve, and it just kept working so I've used it ever since. I try to get the change to dive away from lefties and into righties, and when I can turn it over and concentrate on keeping my arm out in front I can get that nice fade. If I let it go too early it goes straight up and in to right-handed batters.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How about the left side?
Drew Vettleson: From the left side I throw the exact same pitches. Sometimes I drop down more than three-quarters against left-handed batters, but my fastball is about 83-85 MPH, and the change and knuckle curve are both 70-72 MPH.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Do you switch in the middle of games to face different batters?
Drew Vettleson: I have, but mostly I'm a right-handed pitcher and then to save my right hand I'll go one or two innings lefty, and then come back right-handed later in the game. I've gone a couple of games where I'll switch to match the batter, but mostly I just use pitching lefty to save my right arm and keep the pitch count down.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Do you use a specially made glove like Venditte?
Drew Vettleson: No, I haven't been able to find one of those yet!
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Speaking of the pros, is it safe to assume you're an M's fan?
Drew Vettleson: Yeah, definitely.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Who are the players that you look up to in terms of their skills or the way they play?
Drew Vettleson: My all-time favorite player has been Ken Griffey, Jr., since I was about six years old. I wear the number 24 because of him. He plays the game so hard, I mean you've seen those plays when he's diving into walls and going all out, so it's cool to see all those highlight plays he can make and then what he can do with the bat. The things he can do – it's just great.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Who do you most often here scouts comparing your game to?
Drew Vettleson: I've heard my swing compared to Hank Blalock and guys like JD Drew. I got a few Jacoby Ellsbury comparisons because of the OSU thing and I guess the way we play.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Is speed a big part of your game?
Drew Vettleson: It's not the biggest part, but I have decent speed.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: If you could steal one skill from any other player in your draft class, whose would it be?
Drew Vettleson: I'd definitely steal Josh Sale's power. He lives close to me, we've always played with each other, and he has some BIG power.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How about stealing one pitch from another player?
Drew Vettleson: Last year at the Mariner Cup I faced AJ Vanegas, and his curveball is probably one of the dirtiest curveballs I've ever faced.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: How did you fare against him?
Drew Vettleson: First time up I struck out, but second time I got a single. It was off his fastball – I was trying to lay off that curveball! [laughs]
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What have you worked hardest on this winter?
Drew Vettleson: Trying to increase my strength, and staying in the cages to keep my swing going. The biggest thing this high school season is to stay consistent in front of all the scouts.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: What are the most important things for you as a team, and then as an individual this year?
Drew Vettleson: As a team we're going to be a young squad this year, so it's going to be big for me to be a leader, bring all these young guys up, and show them how the program works. It'll be nice if we can pull together and win a lot of games. Individually I want to stay consistent, lead by example, and do everything I can to help out team win.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Have you retained an advisor at this point?
Drew Vettleson: No, we're waiting until around draft time.
Kevin Levine-Flandrup: Finally, what's this whole process like for you?
Drew Vettleson: Well it's definitely very exciting. I have kids all the time saying "oh man, it's so cool that you're going to go pro," or "it's so cool you're going to play ball at college on the best team in the nation," so I definitely have a microscope on me, people waiting for me to do something wrong. But I just try and take this opportunity to lead, have other kids follow me in doing the right things. It's definitely a good thing to have - for people to see me having all these good things going for me by doing the right things might make them want to do things differently.

Defense wins championships, according to the old sports cliche, but while that might or might not be true, scoring goals is the only way to win games.
Enter the goalscorer, the most glamorous, most famous and often most generously compensated of footballers. FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo are without doubt the two most prolific goalscorers in the world right now, but today the subject is their Premier League counterparts.
Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge scored a hat-trick at the weekend, and that might make him the league's hottest goalscorer at the moment. But the title of Premier League's best goalscorer must go to one of two players: Manchester United's Robin van Persie or Liverpool's Luis Suarez.
Van Persie leads the Premier League with 25 goals this season and is on course to finish as the division's top scorer for the second straight season (30 last year with Arsenal). Suarez is two behind but won't have another chance to play this season due to suspension.
Which one is better? Who is more instinctive? Who has the better first touch? In the clip above, B/R World Football Lead Writers Michael Cummings and Will Tidey discuss the subject. After watching the video, be sure to add your thoughts in the comments below.

Biever named security officer
Feb. 14, 2011
Richard Biever, currently information security policy and compliance manager for the Georgia Institute of Technology's Office of Information Technology, will assume the role of chief information security officer for Duke University on Feb. 16, 2011, reporting to Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer (CIO) Tracy Futhey. Biever will handle IT security issues for the university, working closely with his counterpart in the Duke health system. He will coordinate campus-wide security efforts through the Security Liaisons Group, which comprises IT security people from departments and schools across Duke.
At Georgia Tech, Biever has managed the policy and compliance efforts of the information security office for the past three years. In that role, he led a major initiative in disaster recovery/business continuity, revamped Georgia Tech's approach to IT policies, led an effort to develop a security-vulnerability-alert program, established an information-security-certificate program for internal Georgia Tech IT support staff and facilitated the institution's compliance with regulations such as FERPA and PCI.
John Mullin, the CIO at Georgia Tech under whom Biever served, praised Biever for the leadership he provided in the development of new information security and data access policies and procedures, and for his collaboration with faculty from across the institute. "Richard led a large and disparate committee of faculty, students, technologists and administrators in crafting a family of policies that protects Georgia Tech's information assets in a manner that is minimally invasive. His very successful approach to forging relationships and partnerships with the campus stakeholders was built upon a solid foundation of expertise in his discipline coupled with an instinctive understanding of the complex professional and interpersonal environment of a research university. Richard leaves Georgia Tech a legacy of continuous improvements in the protection of information, along with a strong spirit of trust and partnership with the faculty and student leadership."
Prior to joining Georgia Tech, Biever spent 10 years at Hewlett Packard in a variety of technical and security roles. He also served in technical management and service roles at PeachNet, Georgia's education and research network, and the Lovett School. He is an experienced security professional with SANS GIAC Global Security Essentials Certification (GSEC), and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (IS SAP) credentials from International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, or ISC(2).
"Richard's diverse background suggests that he is just as skilled in managing technology as he is in managing people, process and policy," said Futhey in announcing Biever's appointment. "His experience in highly distributed IT environments—supporting security services for a global corporate IT operation and leading policy and compliance at a world-class research university—position him well for the environment here at Duke."
Biever holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Georgia and a master's degree in international relations from Georgia State University.

1920 Cleveland Indians Signed Baseball Collection (8)
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $1,175.00
In 1920, the Cleveland Indians overcame the tragic death of star shortstop Ray Chapman to capture their first pennant in franchise history. They then went on to defeat the Brooklyn Robins five games to two in the World Series. Offered here is a signed-ball collection commemorating the 1920 World Champion Cleveland Indians that includes both single- and multi-signed balls. 1) Circa 1920 Cleveland Indians Team-Signed Ball. Although the ball is clearly dated "1920" in vintage black fountain pen, this Official American League (Johnson) ball was either signed during spring training of 1920 or dates from the following season, as it includes at least two players (Odenwald and Petty) who were not on the official 1920 roster, but did make the team the next year. The ball appears to be signed by twenty-four team members; however, many of the black fountain-pen signatures have faded beyond legibility. Recognizable signatures include Tris Speaker, Joe Sewell, Stan Coveleski, Bill Wambsganss, Joe Wood, Steve O'Neill, George Burns, Guy Morton, Jim Bagby (sweet spot), Ted Odenwald, Jesse Petty, and Doc Smallwood (trainer). Signatures range in grade from "1" to "4," averaging "2/3." The ball displays a minor area of discoloration on the sweet spot, otherwise in Excellent condition. 2) Tris Speaker Single-Signed Ball. Official American League (Johnson) ball signed in black fountain pen (grading "2") across the sweet spot. Good to Very Good condition with numerous abrasions. 3) Multi-Signed Ball with Stan Coveleski. Tober "National League" ball signed in blue ink ("9/10") by Stan Coveleski (alone on a side panel), Lefty Gomez (alone on a side panel), and Jesse Haines and Lou Boudreau (together on a side panel). Near Mint. 4) Joe Sewell Single-Signed Ball. Official American League (Brown) ball signed in blue ink ("9/10") across the sweet spot. Moderately toned, otherwise Excellent to Mint. 5) Joe Wood Single-Signed Ball. Official 1979 All-Star Game ball signed in blue ink ("10") on a side panel. Very light toning, otherwise Near Mint. 6) Bill Wambsganss Single-Signed Ball. Ball (no manufacturer's stampings visible) inscribed "To Don – Bill Wambsganss" in blue ink ("9"). The inscription and first name appear on a side panel, while the last name extends across the sweet spot. The ball has been coated with a light layer of protective shellac and is otherwise in Near Mint condition. 7) George Uhle Single-Signed Ball. Official American League (MacPhail) ball signed in black felt-tip pen (""10") across the sweet spot. With some scattered age toning, otherwise Excellent to Mint condition. 8) Tris Speaker Single-Signed Ball. Reach ball (appears to be an official American League ball, but the label is badly faded) signed in blue ink (grading "1") across the sweet spot. It appears that a number of other signatures have been removed from this ball in order for it to display as a Speaker single. The ball has also been coated with a light layer of protective shellac. Good to Very Good condition with a split along the seams. This is a very substantial 1920 Indians signed ball collection assembled by a dedicated and advanced Cleveland Indians collector over a period of many years. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Total: 8 balls. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,175.00

The concept of the "art house film" has been stretched so much in recent years that, for some audiences, it covers almost anything that does not contain CGI effects, whose stars speak with an accent or that was inspired by a book.
By that measure, popular films likes "The King's Speech," "The Great Gatsby" and "The Life of Pi" find homes in independent movie houses, but their stars and budgets also save them a place in the big mall multiscreen cinemas.
That will not happen with "Something in the Air." This is "art house" at its Woody Allen-esque best, full of shaky camera work, budget-saving filming techniques and beaucoup de sous-titres (lots of subtitles, in French). And because it is French, there are also dashes of casual Euro-style nudity and unconventional wardrobe choices.
And yes, it is a coming-of-age story, with writer/director Olivier Assayas reimagining his youth during the heady post-'60s years of political unrest. The movie opens in 1971 outside of Paris. Former President Charles de Gaulle is barely dead and not yet an airport; the student protests that erupted in the 1960s have been dialed back to a simmer, and long-haired teens in ponchos and peasant dresses are trying to make their voices heard – even though they are not quite sure what they want to say.
Clément Métayer stars as Gilles, a high school activist and would-be artist who leaflets his classmates, tosses Molotov cocktails and does nude sketches of his girlfriends. Like Romeo and many others before him, he begins the movie in love with one girl and, when she moves out of reach, quickly transfers his affections to a new Juliet.
Unlike Shakespeare's lovers, though, none of the young rebels/lovers here are interested in dying for their cause.
Assayas has created an appealing and appealingly truthful version of what it was like to be young at a time when more doors were open than ever before - and when deciding which way to go was harder. Do we join the workers' movement in Italy? Or move to Notting Hill with mom? Go to Nepal to learn native dance, or head back to college, since Dad is paying? Do I want to be a bomb-thrower or a filmmaker?
As Gilles and his group begin to learn that actions can have unintended consequences – a security guard is injured in one protest, a free-spirited friend falls victim to drugs, there's an unwanted pregnancy – they also begin to grow up. It happens here like it happens in life.
Assayas has a nice touch with the natural development of his characters, not pushing the "ah ha!" moments, no underlining soundtrack cues.
The soundtrack does include some quirky touches: our French teens listen to American folk and protest songs while other moments have that peppy, jazzy score of a 1960s heist comedy.
No, "Something in the Air" will never make it to the Cineplex 16, but its funky arty style makes it an entertaining trip to another time in more ways than one.

They are probably going to kill me for putting their PIC pictures onto the Internet but Two Fish Divers Lembeh wanting to pass their congratulations to Nick and Zina for completing not just one or two PADI Specialties but 4 with us in the space of 5 days!
It was pretty intense few days which started with an afternoon of Enriched Air Theory which ended with them both passing the exam with over 85%! The next day we started on the Search and Recovery course – which I really enjoy teaching! It is amazing how excited you can get that you have found a lost weight belt.
Over their stay we also did the Night Diver Specialty – one dive we did even incorporated some search and recovery skills they had learnt as another guest had lost their camera on the house reef. Sadly we weren't able to find it but on this dive and the other night dives we saw Giant Spanish Dancers, Sponge Crabs, Cuttlefish, Octopus, Seahorses, Flatheads – the list goes on!
The final Specialty was the Wreck Specialty where we had some awesome dives on both the Mawali and Kapal Indah wrecks. They both really enjoyed the dive on the Kapal Indah wreck with its beautiful Pygmy Seahorses (they come in Pink, Purple and Yellow) and nudibranches. Safety stopping over some corals in the shallows we spent some time with a gorgeous Pinnate Batfish. They also completed three dives on the Mawali wreck culminating in a penetration dive on Enriched Air – cool!
Again we would like to congratulate them on working so hard and getting everything completed in such a short space of time. It was a pleasure to have you guys to stay!
If anyone else in interested any course from Open Water to Instructor or Enriched Air to Muck Diver then please just drop us an email on either firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com .
Come to Two Fish Divers Lembeh and complete a course that you can not do anywhere else in the world (well at the moment!) – Yes you heard me right! Here at Two Fish Lembeh we have written and will be teaching our very own Muck Diver Specialty course!
If you have never been Muck Diving then this is the course for you, we'll give you an introduction to Muck Diving and what it entails and then over a couple of dives teach about good diving techniques that would be favourable for you to use in Muck Diving areas and also an introduction to Critter Identification which is all important when diving here in Lembeh – knowing where and how to find the critters is extremely important!!
Also along the way we can give you tips and pointers on how to make the most of your dive experience.
If you would like to know more about this course (or any other courses or just about staying with us!) then please email either Helen (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Gizmo (firstname.lastname@example.com) .
All at Two Fish Divers Lembeh would like to congratulate Lucy who has just completed both her Open Water Course and Advanced Open Water course with us!!
Lucy got the diving bug within the first couple of hours and really loved completing the Open Water Course – however she wasn't too fond of the compass skills! She took to like a 'duck to water' and managed to perfect her buoyancy pretty quickly!
After completing the Open Water and celebrating with a couple of Bintangs, Lucy decided to also complete her Advanced Open Water Course with Helen ( her own personal instructor!).
Wanting to fine-tune her buoyancy more we completed the Peak Performance Dive and then also got to use some of these skills on the Underwater Photography dive! Lucy was so lucky to be able to get photos of 2 Hairy Frogfish and a Shaggy Frogfish on this dive! She took the Deep and Navigation Dives within her stride and finish all the skills with ease! To complete her Advanced Course we went on a awesome Night Dive to Jahir – we were joined by squid, sponge crabs and a huge Common Reef Octopus just to name a few!
She set sail to enjoy some more fun dives at our resort in Bunaken and we wish her all the best in her travels and would love to see her back here soon!
If you would like any information on courses run by Two Fish Divers please do not hesitate to contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com .
Yesterday all four of the Two Fish candidates that attended the Sept 2010 Instructor Exam in Manado passed!

Warranty: 1-year Manufacturer Limited Warranty
When panel space is at a premium, the compact SL40 comm and companion SL30 nav/comm transceiver fit a lot of capability in a surprisingly small package.
The all-purpose, high-performance SL40 is packed with innovative features not found on competitive units. In its space-saving 1.3 x 6.25-inch design, SL40 incorporates pilot-friendly features such as active and standby flip-flop frequency tuning, direct sunlight-readable alphanumeric display, easy access to National Weather Service broadcasts, a two-place intercom and more.
With 8 watts of transmit power and only 35-watt DC input, the SL40 is cool and efficient. No external fans or cooling equipment are required. It also operates on 10 to 32-volt inputs without the need or expense of a separate voltage converter.
The SL40's frequency-monitoring function gives you the ability to monitor ATIS or the 121.5 emergency frequency without leaving your assigned ATC channel. This allows you to listen to standby frequencies while giving priority to the active channel, meaning you'll never miss a transmission.
SL40: Think slim.

The SL40 is a 760-channel Com radio with a digital display and flip flop frequency selection. The SL40, like the SL30, has also received praise from our pilots who have installed this in their aircraft for its ease of use, reliability, and slim panel design making it easy to find space for in the most crowded of panels. One interface feature we find helpful is the ability for the SL40 to accept input from a Garmin handheld. For instance, pilots can go to their Garmin handheld GPS, go to the frequency page and select a frequency, if installed and interfaced with a Garmin power/data cable, the frequency will then appear in the standby of the SL40 which takes away the time needed to channel frequencies and puts pilots eyes back on the horizon. Another interesting pilot-friendly feature of SL40 is the ability to monitor the standby frequency, while the active frequency takes priority should a transmission come through. This makes this an idea installation for single radio cockpits. With all of these things taken into account, the SL40 has proven to be a solid performer.

Singer Pink, 28, and motocross racer and former Surreal Life star Carey Hart, 32, have separated after two years of marriage, they announced Feb. 19. The couple met at the 2001 X Games and broke up in 2003. They reunited the following year and wed in January 2006. "This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another," said Pink's rep.
Robert Irwin, the 4-year-old son of Australian Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, who died after being pierced by a stingray in September 2006, was recently bitten by a baby boa constrictor. "He was so proud to have copped his first hit," his mother, Terri, said. "He said, 'I hope it wasn't venomous,' so I assured Robert I wouldn't actually let him play with venomous snakes." ... Former first lady Nancy Reagan, 86, was hospitalized in Santa Monica, Calif., Feb. 17 and released two days later after falling at her Bel Air home. Doctors found that no bones were broken. Her rep said she is "happy to be back in her home."
New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree, 28, who made the famous circus grab of a catch with the help of his helmet during this year's Super Bowl, and his wife, Leilah, 27, will soon add two new members to their home team: The parents of sons Teyon, 6, and Josiah, 3, will welcome twin daughters this month.
Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings), 48, got married for the fourth time, to actress Georgina Sutcliffe, 29, in London Feb. 19—one month after the couple called off their nuptials for "personal reasons" the day before they were to wed.
Kirstie Alley, 57, who recently stepped down after three years as spokesmodel for Jenny Craig, is going to start her own weight-loss program. "I want to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never-ending fatty roller-coaster ride," said the actress, adding that she is "passionate" about her plans to launch a slim-down brand next year.
An L.A. judge found Feb. 13 that Mel Gibson, 52, has met the terms of his no-contest plea to misdemeanor drunken driving. The actor-director, whose July 2006 arrest in Malibu prompted his anti-Semitic rant against a police officer, has attended regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and completed 90 days of counseling. Gibson will remain on probation for nearly 18 more months.
Actor David Groh, 68, best known as the laid-back Joe on 1970s sitcom Rhoda, died of kidney cancer in L.A. Feb. 12. "He was a lovely, lovely guy," said series star Valerie Harper.

Hello. I've implemented a simple RDDL "parser" for use on Microsoft's .NET platform. The source archive, the API documentation, and a test web application that can extract the resources out of any online RDDL directory are available here: http://injektilo.org/rddl/ The API isn't quite usable enough for the type of processing that we're looking for yet but it's a start. I'd appreciate any and all comments that you might have. Hopefully, we can get some more RDDL directories online so that we can see what types of resources people want to reference in them and get some sort of idea on how they'd expect applications to dereference those resources. If you do put a directory online, I'd appreciate it if you could send me a note so that I could start a list of publicly available directories that we can test the parser with. Thanks, Jason Diamond http://injektilo.org/

Dr. Daniels is the best doctor we have come in contact with in regards to our son. He is very sensitive and easy going with our son. He takes his time explain in details so that we clearly understand any question we may have. Our family loves him!
This Doctor has a very narrow mind. If you differ from his beliefs he will be very confrontational and condescending. We didn't want our son to have vaccinations at 2 months of age. With all the negativity surrounding vaccinations and links to autism and SIDS, we decided it was best to put it off. He acted like we were stupid, told us not to believe the research we found online, slammed his pen down, refused to see us, and told us to read an *outdated* book on vaccines. When I brought up that the Italian Courts ruled the MMR can cause autism, he told me that was not true----- even though you can look it up and read it from many different sources. If you want a doctor with an old world view and who is not open to new ideas and research, this is your guy. I want whats best for my baby and want the right to decline anything I feel may harm him.
Dr. Daniels was wonderful to my children. They never once dreaded going to the Dr. because he was so personable. I have since moved and wish I could have him as our pediatrician in our new location. I would drive the 3 hours if at all possible. Thank you to Dr Daniels and his staff at the Little River office for all you have done for my family.

The Tribeca Film Festival has been in the news lately for significant personnel changes, but what about the movies? This year's edition gets underway on April 22, and Cinematical has received a list of the first 38 of the 86 feature films that will be screened. A few titles that jumped out at me:
The Eclipse. The great Ciaran Hinds stars in an "atmospheric drama about a widower who sees and hears strange things in his house." Hinds was fairly magnificent in the TV series Rome and stood out in Steven Spielberg's Munich. Add to that Iben Hjejle and Aidan Quinn as writers the widower encounters at a literary festival, and this is a drama that I want to see.
The Fish Child. Lucia Puenzo made the well-regarded XXY and now comes a "a passionate love story in the arms of a pulsating thriller." I love the idea that for her sophomore feature, the director has made what is evidently a very different type of movie than her quieter debut drama.
Stay Cool. The Polish Brothers (Northfork) return with a "charming comedy" about a high school reunion of sorts, with Winona Ryder and Hilary Duff. Manure was sharply criticized at Sundance just a couple of months ago; could Stay Cool possibly be any good? Winona Ryder doesn't get seen enough, and Hilary Duff has made interesting choices, so this could be surprisingly good -- or another train wreck.
Outrage. Documentarian Kirby Dick, who made the terrific This Film is Not Yet Rated, turns to the subject of "the hypocrisy of closeted politicians who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to." I'm hoping it's as sensational as it sounds.
After the jump: The complete announcement. Browse away, and tell us what looks good to you!
The 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by American Express, the founding sponsor of the Festival, today announced the first 38 films to be presented among the 86 feature length and 46 short films at this year's Festival. The titles unveiled include 24 World Narrative and Documentary Competition films, as well 14 Discovery selections, showcasing new and emerging voices in film. The eighth annual Festival also announced eleven advance selection and discount ticket packages, which will be available for purchase beginning March 9, 2009 for American Express Cardmembers and for the general public on Monday, March 16, 2009. The 2009 Tribeca Film Festival will take place from April 22 to May 3, 2009 in lower Manhattan.
The 2009 film selection encompasses feature films from 33 different countries, including 48 World Premieres, 5 International Premieres, 14 North American Premieres, 3 U.S. Premieres and 11 New York City Premieres, as well as 8 titles, which are part of the third annual Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival. 81 directors will be presenting feature works at the Festival, with 37 of these filmmakers presenting their feature directorial debuts. 23 of the 81 directors are women. The 2009 feature films were chosen from a total of 2,254 feature submissions.
"Each year we look forward to bringing our films to the most engaged movie-going audience and providing filmmakers a global stage," said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival. "Film festivals play a critical role in the life of a film. Tribeca is here to support these films and filmmakers along their journey. We are very proud of the slate this year and hope everyone will come and enjoy the festival."
"The films this year will either entertain you, allow you to escape to faraway places, or encourage you to think about familiar stories in new ways," said Nancy Schafer, Executive Director of the Tribeca Film Festival.
"I'm really excited about the fantastic mix of talent we have this year. There are many impressive debut directors and astounding performances by up-and-coming actors whom I believe have strong futures ahead of them," said David Kwok, Director of Programming. "When considering these films alongside the remarkable new work being presented by established talent, I think viewers will be pleased by what they find in our competition and discovery sections."

The Exploding Girl, directed and written by Bradley Rust Gray. (USA) – North American Premiere. A tender performance by Zoe Kazan is the centerpiece of this delicate, beautifully shot character study.

As her relationship with her boyfriend slowly disintegrates via cell phone, Al's friendship is cast in a new light.
The Fish Child (El niño pez), directed and written by Lucía Puenzo. (Argentina, Spain, France) – North American Premiere.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

He accepts an offer from a young, enterprising Serbian immigrant named Branko: Travel to Belgrade, marry Branko's girlfriend, and bring her back to the US.

In English and Serbian with English subtitles.
North (Nord), directed by Rune Denstad Langlo, written by Erlend Loe. (Norway) – North American Premiere.

Vegas: Based on a True Story, directed by Amir Naderi, written by Susan Brennan, Bliss Esposito, Charlie Lake Keaton and Naderi. (USA) – North American Premiere. Returning to the Festival, acclaimed director Amir Naderi applies his inimitable cinematic style to Vegas. The film takes place away from the glittering strip of luxury mega casinos, but the judgment-clouding greed of Sin City is just as pervasive on the desert outskirts of town, where an otherwise happy family is thrown into turmoil after learning of a forgotten fortune that may be buried beneath their scrubby little home.
World Documentary Feature Competition
The Burning Season, directed by Cathy Henkel. (Australia) – International Premiere. TFF award winner Henkel returns with this powerful portrait of three lives affected by deliberately lit fires raging across Indonesia. Destroying pristine rainforest, endangering wildlife, and contributing to climate change, these fires only benefit the lucrative palm oil industry. Following a carbon-trading entrepreneur, an orangutan rescuer, and a palm oil farmer, this doc inspirationally shows those caught at the intersection of big business and conservation. Hugh Jackman narrates. In English, Indonesian with English subtitles.
Defamation (Hashmatsa), directed by Yoav Shamir. (Denmark, Austria, USA, Israel) – North American Premiere. Is anti-Semitism an extant threat on the verge of coalescing into a second Holocaust? Or is it a scare tactic used by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics?

His findings are both shocking and wryly funny. In English, Hebrew, Russian with English subtitles.

Naqshbandi was one of Afghanistan's best "fixers"-someone hired by foreign journalists to facilitate, translate, and gain access for their stories. This gripping, tragic story is a behind-the-scenes look into the dangerous and unseen world that happens before we get the news. In English, Dari, Pashto, Italian with English subtitles.
Garapa, directed by José Padilha. (Brazil) – North American Premiere. Director José Padilha follows up his Golden Bear-winning Elite Squad with this austere, unflinching examination of the realities of chronic hunger for three Brazilian families. At once intimate and universal, Padilha's hauntingly visual film humanizes the enormity of the global hunger crisis. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
Only When I Dance, directed by Beadie Finzi. (Brazil, UK) – World Premiere.

A Magnolia Pictures Release.
Partly Private, directed by Danae Elon. (Canada) – World Premiere. To cut or not to cut? Pregnant with a baby boy, director Danae Elon and her husband face "a big choice about his little penis."

Within the framework of the fantastic legal battle, Spraic's debut doc slowly uncovers the stranger-than-fiction life of this eccentric billionaire.
Team Qatar, directed by Liz Mermin. (UK) – World Premiere. Equal parts competition movie and cultural examination, Team Qatar follows the first Qatari national debate team and their springy English coach as they train in Doha, London, and New York in preparation for the world championship in DC. Will this vibrant multicultural team handle the pressure and succeed on the world stage? Part of the Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival.
Transcendent Man, directed by Barry Ptolemy. (USA) – World Premiere. Some hail him as a modern-day Nostradamus, others dismiss him as a crackpot. Futurist and famed inventor Ray Kurzweil is the preeminent theorist on the pending fusion of humans and super-intelligent machines as the next phase of evolution, a "singularity" he predicts will occur within 30 years. This fascinating (and at times terrifying) doc explores the personal ideals behind his controversial ideas.
Yodok Stories, directed by Andrzej Fidyk. (Norway, Poland) – North American Premiere. Exposing subject matter notoriously shrouded in secrecy, this uplifting and sobering doc chronicles a group of North Korean concentration camp escapees and their contributions to a powerful musical based on their experiences. Blending interviews and scenes from the controversial stage show, director Andrzej Fidyk explores the atrocities they faced as prisoners-and the challenges they face while trying to express them through art. In English, Korean with English subtitles.
American Casino, directed by Leslie Cockburn. (USA) – World Premiere, Documentary. Politicians and the media like to talk about the relationship between Wall Street and Main Street, but investigative journalist Leslie Cockburn's debut feature gets to the guts of the matter, visiting defectors from Bear Stearns and Standard & Poor's and other high-level players in the subprime mortgage gamble and, on the flipside, visiting the working-class Americans who were the unwitting chips on the table.

Fueled by vintage performances by the likes of Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Television, Bad Brains, and The Ramones, this doc charts the history and far-reaching influence of iconic downtown club CBGB and its fight for survival against the Bowery homeless shelter that sought to shut it down. Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Ice-T, Fab 5 Freddy, and others share their passion for the anything-goes spirit of the club and its founder, Hilly Kristal.
Con Artist, directed by Michael Sladek. (USA) – World Premiere, Documentary. One of the biggest names in the East Village art scene of the '80s, "business artist" Mark Kostabi gleefully made a fortune signing and selling artworks painted by a revolving stable of hired hands. This punk-fueled docu-comedy looks back at Kostabi's ultimately self-destructive skewering of the celebrity art world, and gets as close as one can to a man who's been called "the black hole of irony."
Entre nos, directed and written by Gloria La Morte and Paola Mendoza. (USA, Colombia) – World Premiere, Narrative. Adoring mother Mariana (talented codirector Paola Mendoza) has toted her two children from Colombia to New York to indulge her husband's whim.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Part of the Tribeca/ESPN Sports Film Festival.
My Last Five Girlfriends, directed and written by Julian Kemp. (UK) – World Premiere, Narrative. Based on the international best seller On Love by Alain de Botton, this delightful romantic comedy explores with delicious wit and whimsy just how modern urban relationships go wrong.

What's worse, she's falling for a guy (John Patrick Amedori, Gossip Girl) who is set to meet his true love in four months.

Rights Tools for Sustainable Development
Workshop on using human rights strategies and mechanisms to support
Development and Environment objectives in International Trade
Tentative Date of the Workshop- 23.06.2008 to 28.06.2008

In the concept of sustainable development, human rights and wise management of natural resources and environmental protection merge. From a human rights point of view, the concept includes both the economic. social and cultural rights -the "right to development" in a broad sense -and the obligation towards future generations to use the resources sensibly to ensure their human rights. In the perspective of sustainable development, the emphasis is both on the right to use resources today, but equally as much on the obligation to exploit resources sensibly -as a means of meeting basic needs for all.
The objective of sustainable development presents us with a double moral challenge: solidarity with the poor people of today's world, and solidarity with the next generation. "Inter generational equity" is one legal expression of the idea behind "sustainable development". This adds a very important dimension to the traditional thinking about human rights as expressed in the Human rights Covenants of 1966.
The objective of sustainable development received broad political support the Rio Conference. It is now moving into legal texts. It is, in different forms, already included in several international treaties and in national legislation. For example, in both Norway and Denmark the objective has been included in the objects clause of important new laws concerning natural resources and the environment. Hence, it is rapidly developing from a primarily political objective to a legal concept. This may have interesting consequences also from the point of view of individuals rights,
On the other hand, there has been a positive - although slow - development in the field of human rights in many parts of the world. In a number of states, gross violations of even the most "basic" civil and political human rights are still common, and in the poorest countries of the world the fulfilment of the economic, social and cultural rights seems further away than ever before. But there are also positive trends, linked partly to the process of democratisation in many developing countries, and partly to the growing respect of many states for the decisions and recommendations of international human rights institutions. The fact that the human rights concept has been broadened and become more vague does not seem to have influenced this trend in a very negative way.
Human rights and sustainable human development are inextricably linked, complementary and multidimensional. A fundamental human freedom is the freedom from want. Poverty is a human rights violation, and freedom from poverty is an integral and inalienable human right. Five existing international norms are especially relevant for addressing controversies embracing the convergence of human rights, economic development and environmental protection. These norms are: 1) self-determination; 2) permanent sovereignty over natural resources; 3) the right to development; 4) the right to environment; and, 5) participation. Of these, the international community in general acknowledges only self-determination and permanent sovereignty over natural resources as forming part of customary international law and specifically of international human rights law.
There is considerable international support for the proposition that the right to participation, the right to development, and the right to environment are also international norms within the context of human rights law. This support is evidenced through the practices of nation states, declarations, resolutions and other official acts of organs of the United Nations, as well as research undertaken by international law scholars. The right to development can also be seen as a fully fledged and recognized international human right, despite concerns about its content and status that are expressed by the United States and some other countries.. There is also a distinct possibility that the right to development will be fused with the more amorphous "right to environment" to form a newly recognized international right to sustainable development.
How human rights affect sustainable human development
Sustainable human development seeks to expand choices for all people-women, men and children, current and future generations-while protecting the natural systems on which all life depends. Moving away from a narrow, economy-centred approach to development, sustainable human development places people at the core, and views humans as both a means and an end of development
Human rights and sustainable human development are interdependent and mutually reinforcing
. Thus sustainable human development aims to eliminate poverty, promote human dignity and rights, and provide equitable opportunities for all through good governance, thereby promoting the realization of all human rights-economic, social, cultural, civil and political. The promotion of human rights is of particular relevance in the context of globalization and its potential for excluding and marginalizing weak members of the international community and people with limited resources. Human rights afford protection against such exclusion and marginalization.
The 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development states that development is a human right aware of and claim their rights. Sustainable human development and human rights will be undone in a repressive environment where threat or disease prevails, and both are better able to promote human choices in a peaceful and pluralistic society.
The 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development states that development is a human right. That proclamation was strengthened by the Declaration of the 1993 UN World Conference on Human Rights, which says that "the right to development is an inalienable human right and an integral part of fundamental human freedoms." This view was confirmed at the UN global conferences on population and development (Cairo) and women (Beijing) and at the World Summit on Social Development (Copenhagen).
The Rights Tools for Sustainable Development workshop aimed to encourage nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) working on development, environment and trade related issues to make more use of human rights rules and mechanisms. The workshop thus had a twofold aim. On the one hand, it sought to provide NGO representatives with information for them to measure the value of using a human rights approach to their work. On the other hand, it aimed to provide a guide to how, in practice, international human rights rules and mechanisms can be of use in advocacy work on sustainable development and economic justice.
Human rights law is a binding body of international law and as such should be respected by all policy-makers, including those responsible for economic or environmental policy. Human rights law has many convergences with economic justice principles and offers a range of instruments and mechanisms that can usefully be applied by those seeking to promote economic justice and sustainable development.Yet most NGOs working towards ensuring that trade and trade rules benefit those who most need it and do not work against the poor and most vulnerable sectors of society base Rights Tools for Sustainable Development
As the Workshop aimed to encourage representatives of NGOs working on trade, development, sustainable development and environmental issues to consider increasing their reliance on a human rights approach.
The Workshop will have 50 participants from Southern region of India. In this 30 participants will be from Chennai area and 20 will be from NGO associated themselves with human rights, women empowerment, Self-Help Groups and Environmental Protection groups. The group will be small in order to maximize the potential for participatory learning. As expected, most participants will be selected on the basis knowledge of international human rights rules or procedures. The full list of participants and facilitators is provided below.
Format and content
The Rights Tools workshop slated for seven days. The workshop is divided into three parts. The first two days consisted of an introduction to the international human rights system, its rules, and the procedures for implementing these rules. In the second part, for three days the group will break up into three sub-groups each of which focused on a different real-life case study. In the sub-groups, participants explored the relevant human rights rules and the procedures available to enforce these rules. In the final session, for two days the full group gathered again to exchange thoughts on what they had learnt in the sub-groups, and to exchange ideas and information for future work in this area and to comment on the approach and content of the Workshop.
Background materials will be distributed including a bibliography and a list of useful relevant web-sites, several of UN Human Rights publications, and a description of a case
brought to the Indian Human Rights Commission on Human Rights by two NGOs on how oil development was interfering with the environment and livelihood of the Assam people. These materials were designed to serve as sources of information and a guide to human rights procedures, which participants could refer to after the Workshop.
The facilitators introduced the features of the international human rights system that weigh in favour of its use in advocacy on issues relating to international trade, sustainable
development and economic justice. Points included that human rights imply entitlements;
human rights include economic, social, and cultural rights; human rights focus on the situation of the poorest and most vulnerable members of society; the legally-binding nature

Duration of Activity
Activity One for two days- Lectures by Specialists
Day One
International Human Rights Law
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Civil and Political Rights
Third Generation Rights
International Environmental Law
1) national and international wildlife conservation regimes during the past century;
2) fisheries management regulations arising out of international law relating to the sea; and,
3) Customary international law developed out of several international judicial and arbitration decisions dealing with state responsibility for trans-boundary activities.
International Economic Development Law
The role of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the GATT/WTO which are the primary international organizations impacting on international economic development law
International Law on Sustainable Development
Earth Summit (UNCED) in 1992
Principle 27 of the Rio Declaration
Agenda 21's Chapter 39, entitled "International Legal Instruments and Mechanisms.
Targeting disadvantaged or excluded groups (women, children, minorities, migrant workers, people with HIV/AIDS), thereby linking social justice, discrimination and development.
Promoting partnerships with NGOs and civil society organizations (including social and political advocacy groups), thereby encouraging people's participation at all stages of programme initiation, formulation and design, implementation and evaluation.
Addressing governance issues (such as corruption, the rule of law, participation, democratization and accountability) in which human rights have been integral but, all too often, not explicitly spelled out.
Strengthening institutions of governance and developing human rights capacity within such institutions.
Day Two
Building human rights capacity
National and local judiciaries, legislatures and electoral bodies are crucial to the protection and promotion of human rights. They can ensure the rule and enforcement of the law, helping to establish anti-discriminatory practices and achieve socio-economic, political and cultural equality. An effective executive branch can provide leadership in promoting legislation and implementing human rights laws and programmes. Civil service reform can help better formulate governance strategies, procedures and rules, contributing to more effective human rights programming. Decentralization, local governance and support to civil society organizations can empower people and local organizations to claim and exercise their rights or carry out human rights advocacy, outreach and networking.
Capacity development will help these institutions build more sustainable organizational cultures by sensitizing them to human rights issues. Such activities will need to take place at the national, regional and local levels.
Activity Three ( for two days)
Formation of Sub-Groups
Participants for the workshop will be divided into various sub-groups and each group will be formed on their unique specializations such as:
1. Human Rights organizations
2. Environment Protection Groups
3. Business groups
The groups will discuss issues raised in the two days lecturing by the facilitators and come with critique and comments for a broader discussion and debate in the final day.
Activity Four ( one day)
A visit to Pallikaranai marshy land at Chennai. The objectives of the visit are:
1. To assess the degree of environmental degradation that has taken place at the 290 acres of water bodies in Chennai suburb for developmental purpose.
2. To analyze the kinds of human rights violations that have been taken place in the context of uprooting the local people, increase in health hazards, non-sustainable developmental activities promoted both by government and multi-national corporations.
Activity Five (one day)
Individual report of the field visit from different perspectives of the workshop will be presented for further clarity. Discussion and debate will be allowed for tuning of the field visit report.
Activity Six (One Day)
Report Writing- Based on the observation, discussion and debate a report will be written by all the sub-groups linking human rights, environmental concerns and development. Case studies under taken by individual also become part of the out put of the seminar.

Priceline Earnings: What Wall Street's Saying (Update 1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Priceline.com
For the second-quarter of 2013, Priceline said it's expecting a year-over-year increase in total gross travel bookings of approximately 30% to 37%, with international gross travel bookings rising approximately 36% to 43%. It expects adjusted EBITDA to be between $560 million and $595 million, with non-GAAP earnings between $8.87 and $9.45 a share. Wall Street analysts are expecting $9.58 a share.
The Norwalk, Conn.-based firm posted earnings of $5.76 a share on $1.3 billion in revenue in its first quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for $5.27 a share on $1.275 billion in revenue.
Here's what Wall Street analysts are saying this morning.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth (Overweight, $830 PT):
"Priceline reported solid 1Q results ahead of expectations driven by good growth in Europe from Booking.com and higher growth rates at Agoda and Rentalcars.com. Int'l bookings growth of 43% ex-FX came in higher than our 41% but was at the lower end of the mid-40's% that we believe the Street was looking for. Priceline guided for 33%-40% ex-FX growth in 2Q partly due to Easter in 1Q, but we believe it may be viewed as conservative given the easier overall 2Q comp."
Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju (Outperform, $924 PT):
"We note that despite the higher than expected advertising expenses of over $25m, gross profit and PF operating profit dollars exceeded our estimate by $39 and $34m, respectively. And given the longer-term global expansion opportunity in front of the company, investors should not begrudge the decisions made by a management team that is investing against a strategic imperative while at the same time returning value to shareholders with growth in operating profit dollars of 32%. Instead, PCLN should be awarded a higher multiple."
Jefferies analyst Brian Pitz (Buy, $860 PT):
"Priceline reported a Beat quarter with solid performance across the board. All key geographies performed well (including Europe). Growth in hotel room nights was consistent with unit growth in Q4 while rental car days growth accelerated. We are increasing slightly our ests and setting a new PT of $860."
Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandle (Hold, $715 PT):
"Priceline reported billings, gross profit and EBITDA slightly above the high end of its guidance ranges, but forecasted 2Q below consensus. Both PCLN and EXPE continue to face de-leverage in their business models from: 1) inflationary pressure in customer acquisition, 2) mix shift to lower margin regions, and 3) mix shift to paid channels vs. organic. We continue to view PCLN's valuation as compelling, but decelerating growth and margin compression in 2Q13 keep us on the sidelines for now."

Featured Golf News
Mallon Named Solheim Cup Captain
Meg Mallon has been appointed captain of the 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup team. Mallon, 48, played in eight of the biennial competitions against Europe and served as an assistant captain in 2009.
The Americans hold an overall 8-4 lead in the matches, but lost to the Europeans last September in Ireland. The 2013 matches will be held at Colorado Golf Club on August 13-18.
"I've participated in the Solheim Cup on nine occasions and each has been a proud moment for me," said Mallon, who had a 13-9-7 mark and was on six victorious teams during her time on the American squad. "But to represent the United States as team captain definitely caps off my career."
In 2011 she captained the U.S. Junior Solheim Cup team to victory in Ireland at Knightsbrook in Meath. "It was exciting to be a part of the future in Ireland last year," Mallon said.
"I didn't know the players very well going in, but we really bonded well and it turned out to be such a rewarding week. I really think it will influence my style in 2013."
Mallon, who retired from competition in July 2010, enjoyed a stellar career on the LPGA Tour. The native of Natick, Mass., won 18 career LPGA titles, including four majors, and earned more than $9 million over 24 seasons.

View from the enemy: 3 Shades of Blue
Tonight, we will conclude the 2009-10 regular season. That's it. It's over. Hope ya'll had fun. What's that? There's more basketball coming after tonight? Oh. WELL COOL. I just can't get enough having to put "regular season" in front of everything saying this year is over. Because that implies you have more season left. That's fun.
There are certainly things to play for (50 wins, momentum, confidence, an ESPN national audience), but there's not much to gain. The Thunder's made their bed and will have to sleep in eighth. But still, basketball will be played tonight at the Ford Center and they will be keeping score. The starters are going to play, but there's no telling how much. With new of Mustafa Shakur and Byron Mullens getting a call-up today, I'm guessing this one is going to get treated as an exhibition game. Some good minutes in the first half, some scattered ones in the third and hardly any in the fourth. Just my guess.
Memphis coming in: The Grizzlies played Monday, losing to Denver. They are 17-23 on the road and 2-8 in their last 10.
Zach Randolph has been a nightmare inside for the Thunder. On OKC's win in Memphis, he grabbed something like 79 offensive rebounds in the third quarter (I think that number may be a little high). And with Nenad Krstic still out – who is an incredibly underrated post defender – Randolph might get his 20-10 with little sweat. I'd expect a heavy dose of Serge Ibaka and even probably some D.J. White and Byron Mullens too tonight, so it'll be nice to watch the young guys go against a premier low post player.
Rudy Gay is quite a talent and it's always fun watching him go against Kevin Durant. That'll be a fun matchup. Russell Westbrook and Mike Conley are both quick and like to penetrate. And O.J. Mayo will be a good warmup for Thabo to get back into his defensive stopper groove.
Also, here's a couple fun Elias Sports Bureau notes for tonight's game:
– Kevin Durant enters the final game of the season with 2,441 points, 616 rebounds and 110 steals. Since the NBA began tracking steals in 1973, only two other players have recorded at least 2,400 points, 600 rebounds and 100 steals in the same season: Michael Jordan in 1988-89 (2,633/652/234) and Karl Malone in 1989-90 (2540/911/121).
– Most points scored by a trio of teammates this season: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green, Oklahoma City (4,977); Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo, Memphis (4,617); Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith, Denver (4,526).
– Russell Westbrook has assisted on 212 of Kevin Durant's baskets this season. Only three players have registered more assists on teammate's buckets than Westbrook has for Durant: Steve Nash (275 assists on Amar'e Stoudemire baskets), Deron Williams (230 assists on Carlos Boozer baskets) and Jason Kidd (227 assists on Dirk Nowitzki baskets).
Regardless of the fact that this game means nothing, I really, really, REALLY would like 50 wins. Beside it being a beautiful round number, it just looks good in the standings. And equally as such, Memphis is playing for .500 tonight so I'm sure they don't plan on rolling over. This should be the Ford Center's 11th straight sellout and hopefully will be a full-on party in building some momentum for the playoffs.
Tip at 7:00 CDT. Go PLEASE Win 50.

Hi Ron..
It's been a mighty long time since I use 4.11, however, I don't believe your
problem has to do with BE or the OS. When you save a document from a word
processor, usually only the font id and family is saved (the fonts itself is
not). If this document is opened on a PC that doesn't have that particular
font, it will be substituted with the closest family matching font. Yes,
sometimes that means jiberish.. or even arabic
I think your best bet is to remember which PC created the file that was on
your server and go back to that PC to retry it. If not, you can always
install a multinational font/language pack.

To the Editor:
Donna Carrelli's Dec. 17 letter (crediting quick police work in the arrest of a suspect in the Thomas Carbin murder case) has inspired me to chime in.
How blessed we are in this country to have fearless and courageous men and women in our local, state and university police forces.
On Dec. 17, my father, Peter Bazikos, would have been 83. I am grateful to Reed Layton, the former assistant Glassboro police chief and now chief of Rowan University campus police, for responding and trying to protect my father and me in 1987, when an intruder was stalking me and attacked my father with a knife.
Layton, along with current Glassboro Police Chief Alex Fanfarillo, showed empathy and compassion as my father was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.
There is no shortage of hometown heroes. Glassboro Officer Troy Armstrong speaks to the Boy Scouts about police efforts in the area. Officer Julie Howery ensures gun safety by giving away free gun locks. She also gives safety seminars at the Glassboro Public Library for children.
In Gloucester Township, K-9 Officer Schultz (the police dog who was killed after allegedly being thrown on a highway by a robbery suspect) got two dangerous suspected criminals off the street.
During this beautiful Christmas season, let's pray for peace and give thanks for the countless hometown heroes who say they were only doing their jobs. "Thank you" hardly seems like enough when they put their lives on the line every day that they go to work.
God bless you, and thank you all.

Zelante said police did not believe a third party was involved in Armbrecht's death and foul play was not suspected.
Police Sgt. Mark Giansante, Officer-in Charge of the Harding Police Department, said Armbrecht's family are New Jersey residents, but live outside of Morris County.
Zelante and Giansante declined to comment on additional details regarding Armbrecht's death.
The New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife had not yet responded to phone calls requesting comment.
