Furious Fourth-Quarter Rally Sends Siena to MAAC Playoffs
from press release
Three years ago, Siena Lacrosse won the program's first and to
date only MAAC Championship at the Demske Sports Complex. Saturday,
the Saints got their first look this year at Canisius' home field
which once again will host the MAAC Championships and liked what
they saw. The Saints came from behind late, scoring the game's
final five goals and defeated Canisius 12-9 in the process
clinching a spot in the MAAC Tournament and a chance to play for
another championship in Buffalo.
Siena (10-3, 4-1), which has won nine of their last 10 games, advances to the MAAC Tournament for the fifth straight year after having never qualified for the tournament in the program's first 11 years in the conference.
Early on, it appeared the Saints would have no problem clinching a tournament berth. The Saints led 5-2 at the half and 6-2 midway through the third period before the complexion of the game drastically changed.
Canisius (2-9, 2-3) erupted for five goals in just 4:31, stunning the Saints and taking a 7-6 lead. The Golden Griffins, who scored six times in the third period, would carry an 8-7 advantage into the fourth.
At 12:14 of the fourth, Graham Bergsma scored man-up to give the Griffs a 9-7 lead. With all the momentum against them, the Saints appeared to be in trouble but would quickly turn the tables back around on Canisius.
Siena's potent offense, which has been clicking on all cylinders of late regardless of time and situation, again showed no rust when the game entered crunch time. The Saints responded, scoring the final five goals of the game unanswered over a 6:50 span en route to the victory.
Bryan Neufeld and Colin Clive each scored twice down the final stretch, with Clive netting the game-winner. Two of the duo's goals came man-up where the Saints were an impressive 4-for-7 on extra-man opportunities.
Neufeld netted a game-high six points recording a hat trick and adding three assists, easily extending the nation's longest active scoring streak to 48 consecutive games. Clive, who scored four goals two weeks ago in a pivotal conference road win at Jacksonville, tied his career-high with four more goals on Saturday in another impressive road effort by the freshman.
Danny Martinsen added a goal and three assists while Chris Roth chipped in with two goals and an assist for the Saints which reached double figures in wins for the fifth straight season and seventh time in program history.
Zach Triner was once again strong in the faceoff X, winning 11 of 19 draws and picking up six groundballs. He was especially exceptional during the pivotal fourth period, winning six of his seven draws.
Eight different Golden Griffins scored led by Bergsma who tallied two goals.
Siena closes regular season competition with a pair of home games next week. It all starts on Tuesday when the Saints welcome crosstown rival UAlbany to Siena Turf Field for a 5 p.m. faceoff in a game that will be televised locally on Time Warner Cable Sports.

And so the menu changes: Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil retires to an also-ran status, and mouths water at the prospect of gravy.
Foods of late fall and winter emphasize comfort, with more time spent in the kitchen because the tennis nets at the park are packed up for the season.
The time has arrived for potpie — as in good potpie, which some people haven't experienced if their exposure is limited to the versions from freezer cases at the supermarket.
Homemade potpie offers a flaky crust and a filling customized to your heart's content.
Turkey is our protein of choice. With half-breasts more available, you can roast just enough turkey within an hour to make six pies.
Swap in chicken, or go vegetarian with more of the potpie trinity: peas, carrots and potatoes. Experiment with other vegetables, such as turnips, rutabagas, pearl onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, corn or peppers.
We favor the classic trio but add a twist and texture with crumbled bacon.
We won't lie: Potpies from start to finish take a little time.
The pastry comes together quickly but must rest in the refrigerator for an hour. The vegetables need to be par-cooked for a few minutes to make sure they'll cook through in the oven. The gravy is best when you give the onions at least 15 minutes to melt into savory goodness.
If you're tempted to skip the egg glaze, don't. It lends the pastry a luscious golden crackle. Take time to paint the whole surface.
To make your pies even more appetizing, cut a few leaf shapes from the dough scraps and paint them with a bit of paprika-tinted egg yolk. This will guarantee oohs and aahs — before your diners have even taken a bite.

Foul Ball is the latest in a series of videos you may have seen. The first two being Man Thong and Beer Ape. Foul Ball takes place at a baseball game where a foul ball ricochets all over the ball park, hitting a bunch of guys smack in the balls… Yes, it's funny, and you WON'T see it on TV. It's for Internet only.
Participation is easy, all you have to do is place our Rolling Rock Foul Ball banner ads on your site for two months and we'll give you a $50.00 Amazon.com e-certificate. Down the road, we'd like to call on you again to help us with various marketing campaigns.

Looking forward to working with you.
FutureAngels.com needs your financial support to stay afloat, but I'm not so desperate as to take money for hyping a movie about baseballs drilling a man in the family jewels … although I suspect the slimier of the fan sites out there will be all over this …

After shaking off the effects of the 70's/80's microbreweries and foreign beer crazes I realized that I liked lighter, more refreshing beers. The only one of the above that fit was Pilzner Urquell but, WOW, was that stuff expensive. The wife also started getting tummy problems with her all-time favorite, Corona, so we discovered Rolling Rock in the mid-90's to fill the void and we both love it. A couple of years ago I heard that Busch had bought RR and had high hopes that the beer would become more readily available and a little better priced. Yeah, beer isn't so important to me that I'll pay a lot for it (Blasphemer!!). I'm really sorry to see that they have sunk to this level for a very high quality beer. I guess they feel they need better market saturation or something. I don't know if it's still true but, not that long ago, Budweiser was the only mass-produced American beer that could pass German brewing regulations and they managed to keep quality advertising for that product (The commercials where the Clydesdales bow down to the "new" NY skyline and the farmer clapping for the Olympic torch guy both brought tears to my eyes – there, I said it!).
I'll still like the beer but I hope Busch can improve the ad campaign. You are right to ignore it, Stephen.

- Title
- Watershed or water shared? An inquiry into the politics of rural water allocations in Victoria
- Author(s)
- Hancock, Barry
- Abstract
- This thesis explores the politics associated with rural water reform in Victoria. The specific focus of the thesis is on the period from 1980 through to the time of submission in May 2010. During this period, the rural water sector has undergone radical reform in Victoria. Initially, reforms were driven by a desire to improve the operational efficiency of the State's rural water sector. With the growing realisation that water extractions were pressing against the limits of sustainable yield, the focus of the reform agenda shifted to increasing the economic efficiency derived from every megalitre of water. By early 2000, the focus of the rural water reform changed as prolonged drought impacted on the reliability of water supply for the irrigation community. The objective of the latest round of reforms was to improve the efficiency of water usage as the scarcity became more acute. To deal with many of the intractable problems confronting the rural water sector over this period government turned to the neoclassical economic paradigm. The gradual application of market principles throughout all levels of the rural water sector to drive efficiency is giving rise to growing discontent amongst rural water users. This has provoked increasing resentment over the intrusion of the "market" into seemingly every element of rural life. As the water market drives structural reform across the once heavily protected rural sector, farmers have looked to their peak representative body, the Victorian Farmers Federation, to defend established patterns of resource usage. As governments responded to concerns about the environment, the Victorian Farmers Federation was forced to make a number of compromises to protect the security of its members' water rights. Many members found the compromises unpalatable and became less loyal to the VFF. At the same time the robust political allegiance between the VFF and National Farmers Federation was severely tested by the Council of Australian Governments' broader rural water reform agenda. In addition to the obvious self interest that rural water users have in this policy process, there were underlying issues at work.

Bee-Picayune staff
Corpus Christi — The Toadies have been around the block a time or two. Especially in Texas, where they formed in Fort Worth in 1989 and disbanded in 2001, only to reform again in 2008 with new bassist Doni Blair.
Todd Lewis, lead singer/guitarist, had formed The Burden Brothers during the Toadies hiatus and had a few, small radio hits. Guitarist Clark Vogeler headed to Hollywood to edit movies, and drummer Mark Reznicek joined the country-western band Eleven Hundred Springs.
But after some personal changes left the Burden Brothers on hiatus, Lewis began writing new songs by himself and felt they were Toadies songs.
He called up the old gang and, shortly after reforming, released the album No Deliverance.
Another album followed, 2010's Feeler as well as Live at Austin City Limits Music Festival.
But after all the turmoil and personal differences, would the Toadies still be the Toadies?
On July 19, the band returned to Corpus Christi and played at Brewster Street Ice House to rev up support for their upcoming July 31 release, Play.Rock.Music.
The Toadies shared the stage with '90s indie rock icons Helmet and Austin's grrl fronted indie rock band Ume.
But it was clearly the Toadies everyone was there to see.
Blasting through song after song, Lewis' voice tore through Brewster's audience and out onto the patio, where throngs of fans stood on picnic tables and sat on the wooden railings, bobbing their heads and whipping their hair.
They incited crowd to chants and cheers following every one of their songs.
Lewis bounced and bounded and ran and rocked all over the stage, while Vogeler, mainly poised in front of his microphone, delivered his well-manicured, soft-spoken guitar riffs behind Lewis' and tossed his voice out every so often to audience's excitement.
Blair's bass lines, echoed throughout the night, followed by Reznicek's machine gun pounding on the drums.
The crowd was soaked with sweat and alcohol, spilling gallons on the floor as they reached out to touch the band, looking a lot like their younger selves on stage, bathed in the red, blue and green hues of stage lights.
The audience screamed every syllable to every song at the top of their lungs until the band finally bowed out and praised the city for giving them such a great time and showing them much love.
But there was something missing.
The mass of people didn't disburse when the band stepped off stage.
They screamed for more. They wanted the one missing element of the entire night's showcase. The one song everyone in the world seems to know. The Toadies' biggest hit.
Brewster's erupted as the band bounded back on stage. They joked with the crowd and played the song mostly everyone that night showed up to hear.
And after the show, the only question on anyone's mind was: "When are they coming back?"

An age group that can often be preyed upon by criminals is learning to one way to protect themselves thanks to Georgia's Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
A group of senior friends are all taking the sheriff's Civilian Gun Safety Course together.
"The times are so different we're now seeing things happen that we never saw things happen before, and you just need it for security," says Ruth Mullins.
Learning how to use a gun properly is arming the elderly with confidence.
Margo Lang says the times have changed and so has she.
"You have to keep your eyes wide open all the time. I think you're not safe any place anymore," she says.

text: I am really hoping you all can help me, my lo has been eating around 5 am each day and has usually gone back to sleep after till around 7:30. This started a couple weeks ago and she seems to have a habit of it now. The problem is, she is now starting to stay up then and, needless to say, dh and I prefer the later wake time. Also, prior to a couple weeks ago, (don't hate me) she was sleeping 7-7 with no food. She had been like that for about 6 weeks! Now she may or may not need the food but I need to know, how long does it take you to get your lo back to bed after a night feeding and do they go back right after nursing or do they need extra soothing? It used to take me about 15 min to nurse and she'd be back asleep after no longer than 30 min(diaper change and me stumbling down to her room), now its stretching past an hour and driving me nuts! Am I making this worse by taking too long? She just doesn't seem to fall asleep while eating then. Do you think I could avoid this feeding by trying a dream feed right before I go to bed? Any hints for having a quick feeding and back to bed? Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!

Skip to comments.U.S. troops clash with Shi'ite militia in Baghdad
Posted on 09/24/2005 11:33:23 PM PDT by HAL9000
BAGHDAD, Sep 25 (Reuters) - U.S. troops clashed with militia fighters loyal to a rebellious Shi'ite Muslim cleric in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, killing eight militiamen and wounding five, Iraqi police said.
They said U.S. forces entered the poor Shi'ite district of Sadr City seeking to detain a group of militia members suspected of carrying out guerrilla attacks.
The militia, known as the Mehdi Army, is loyal to Moqtada al-Sadr, a young radical cleric whose followers have led two uprisings against U.S. forces.
The U.S. military said it had engaged what it termed anti-Iraqi forces in several locations in the east of the capital for around 1-1/2 hours.
"There were some anti-Iraqi forces killed," a military spokesman said, but gave no details on numbers. He said no U.S. forces were killed or wounded. No militiamen were detained.
British forces say the Mehdi Army was connected to the detention of two British soldiers in the southern city of Basra last week. British troops freed the two using armoured vehicles.
Sadr has a strong following in Baghdad, Basra and other southern cities. Representatives of Sadr's movement could not be reached immediately for comment on the Baghdad clashes.
Why is this guy still walking around?
Can't someone drop a mortor round on him? Please?
This guy is probably personally responsibile of 50 dead US troops.
Why is that fatboy Sadr still alive?
I think the plan is to get the new Iraq constitution ratified - it prohibits organizations like the Sadr militia - then deal with him.
assasinate Chavez and Sader and a whole bunch more islamo leftist scum
I guess making a martyr out of him could be prooven counterproductive...
From the example of Saddam's capture, out of the high expectations, not much materialised...
And Saddam only had few hard core dead-ender followers.
Sadr has about a million Shiits...
MOST ( I mean 99% ) only sits on the wall.
1% making mess.
Would you take the risk to turn the 99% against the US?
Yes, I would.
These people respect power. They always have.
We've been weak by letting him repeatedly kill our people without consequences.
I should add that that weakness has embolden our enemies to attack and kill our people because they think they can get away with it. And for the most part they have. Take out al-Sadr and see who the next Mullah is willing to take his place.
If you want to take up arms against our troops you should die.
I'd kill 50 percent of them and see if the rest wanted to die too. If you want to talk percentages, 100 percent of the worlds 1.2 BILLION moslems have failed to issue a fatwah of death against Moqtada al-Sadr. Or Osama for that matter. Oh they will issue fatwas against terror and indiscriminate killing but to come right out and state : There is a death sentence on Osama Bin Ladin - that ain't been seen yet.
Of course these two didn't write a book. Mr Rushdie did and he recieved a fatwah of death. So that must be it. .....
1990: Iranian leader upholds Rushdie fatwa
Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said the death sentence on writer Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemy will remain in force.
He rejected the author's repentance and recent decision not to publish a paperback edition of the novel The Satanic Verses which was deemed offensive to the Islamic faith.
Tehran Radio quoted Ayatollah Khameini as saying the decree by his predecessor Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini "remains unchanged even if he repents and becomes the most pious man of his time".
religion of peace, Mr. Bush?
The usual bloody-minded nonsense from the nuke-em-all crowd. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
Without the majority of Iraq's people (Shiites) on your side, all your efforts in Iraq will come to naught. You can't seriously expect they'll remain your allies if you kill them indiscriminately?
Maybe your screen name should be, "mollycoddler?"
And you're talking bollocks too! I've seen your name on many threads with the same stuff.
What's with this religion of peace crap? Moslems are no more or less peaceful than Christians are.
I can't remember any apologies from American Christians or their churches for the things done by both Catholic and Protestant terrorists in Ulster.
Maybe you should apologize to Americans for having to save your arse twice in the last century?
Whatever. I think the screen name "insane but somehow pathetic military fetishist" would fit a good number of you.
Hah! I knew that would come up pretty quickly as soon as the US gets criticised!
A very valid argument, except for the fact that it's totally incorrect. Try another tack.
How about "EuroTwit?" That seems to fit you.
Really? If it wouldn't have been for the Yanks, you wouldn't have had to go to Germany to learn to speak German.
Where do you get this stuff from? Hilarious.
You Americans always come in late when the war's nearly fought out and then claim the credit. Once is OK, twice is annoying.
I see "Eurotwit" is already taken. Might want to try "Ahole."
We wouldn't have come in had you been able to handle it.
Yes, we were content to watch Neville hyperventilate his way into a war by declaring peace.
Thanks for the smile this morning.
You make it sound like Omaha beach was a cakewalk, and that the battle of the bulge was an afterthought.
You wouldn't have come in if you hadn't been attacked by Japan. Don't twist the facts.
I think you and leadpenny need to read a history book or two about post-WW1 Europe and WW2.
It's hardly my fault if the US military got - shall we be charitable? - unlucky twice. I can think of a few other instances where the US army got its arse kicked. Doesn't mean a thing: every other nation in that war also got its arse kicked, usually more than once, shrugged off its losses and just went on with the job. So what?
If any nation deserves credit for beating the Germans, it was the Soviet Union, followed by the British Empire. However, the Americans did their bit in the end too. Thanks for that. But don't hog the limelight all the time.
Weren't we talking about Iraq?
However and whenever we got there, we, along with the Soviets, saved your bacon.
BTW, if you include my name in a post, include me in the "To:" line.
So you're conceding that it wasn't just the US that "saved our bacon", and that the US didn't enter the war to help us, but for its own valid reasons. That's fair enough, I suppose.
One could debate the what-ifs all day, but anyway, I have to go now.
As far as WWII is concerned, exactly when is it that we should have declared war on Hitler. Was it when Stanley Baldwin repeatedly failed to respond to Hitler's violations of the Treaty of Versailles. Or was it when Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland and the British and French failed to declare war on Germany as expected by the German High Comman. Or was it after Munich, when Chamberlain snookered Hitler into occupying Czechoslovakia without having to fire a shot. Or was it when the Germans attacked Poland and Britain failed to do anything beyond issuing a declaration of war against Germany. Or was it when the Phony War was occurring between Britain and Germany. Or was it after Dunkirk when through their own inability to respond to Guderian's tactics, the British almost lost their entire expeditionary force.
On the other hand, I have a better idea. Maybe, just maybe Brits should take a deep breath and stop pointing the finger at America when your country is unable to control problems it has let fester in its own backyard
I hope this means what I prefer it means.
"and that the US didn't enter the war to help us, but for its own valid reasons"
I don't believe I said that.
But, of course, all nations ultimately act in their own self interests. As it turned out, it did keep you from growing up speaking German.
Beyond all, though, you do appear to be drinking the European Mainland Kool Aid.
Careful, you'll upset ukman
Drinking so early on a Sunday morning? /sarcasm
"Weren't we talking about Iraq?"
And another thing - you went off topic first.
A shower clears the cobwebs.
Do you believe a plane flew into the Pentagon on 9-11?
Yes, red faces time in Britain.
Also, the Basra event might be connected to this raid. Relations with the Shia community are under strain.
al-Sadr does not represent the majority of Shiites.
al-Sadr is one guy that is directing the killing of our people.
Hardly a "nuke-em all" statement. al-Sadr is a murdering POS that needs to go. You don't negotiate with murderers you bring them to justice.
After reading more of your posts I see you're a complete idiot.
I assumed you were intelligent/honest and worthy of response.
My mistake.
I won't waste anymore of my time responding to you.
Isn't that a coincidence? I was just thinking the same thing about you!
No, you started first with #14.
And yes, of course I believe a plane flew into the Pentagon on 9/11. So what?
No I don't dispute in any way that Basra has gone completely pear-shaped. I understand the local commander has said something along the lines that they would have to go back to square one as regards building up local forces. Can't say that I'm really concerned myself, as the UK troops will reportedly be out of it next year anyway, so the whole Basra area (if not all of Iraq) will come under Iran's control. Regrettable, but then again I feared back in 2003 the whole thing would probably be a fiasco.
As regards WW2, a US entry into the war would have been most welcome on May 10 1940 or soon after,and no later than just after Dunkirk. I quite agree that Britain and France should have marched into the Rhineland in '36, or at least tried to help the Czechs in '38. Both countries misjudged the situation and paid the price. And didn't we just...!
In June 1940 the US thought that Britain had had it (BTW, do you know who the anti-British US ambassador was at that time?). So the US waited to see what would happen, took the UK's gold and also a few British colonies in return for a few old destroyers and 2nd hand weaponry. A very nice deal for it while Britain was on the ropes. It also SOLD us lots of arms (Lend-Lease). Note the emphasis on sold. That debt was only finally paid back a year or two ago. So please don't try to tell me that the US helped us out of the goodness of its heart. Now, I don't mind that so much as the later expectations that GB should be grateful for ever after.
I've no solutions for Iraq by the way. Why should I offer any when I think the whole thing was a mistake in the first place? Neither the UK and the US troops seem to be able to get a handle on things. I await with interest further developments.
"Neither the UK and the US Troops . . ." - you must have meant to say, "nor?"
I've no solutions for Iraq by the way. Why should I offer any when I think the whole thing was a mistake in the first place?
How many anti-US/UK War protests have you attended?
As far as who went off topic first, it appears you not only want to rewrite the history of WWII, you also want to rewrite the history of this thread. Check your post 13.
That must be welcome news to the Al Qeda folks in Tal Afar, Ramadi, Hit and all of the other towns and cities which are being cleaned out right now. According to Bill Roggio (fourth Rail blog) there are some very significant things happening right now.
Come back in 6 weeks or so and tell us whether you think they still don't have a handle on things.
>Come back in 6 weeks or so and tell us whether you think they still don't have a handle on things<
Whether 1 or 10 or 100 terrorists are killed or captured isn't really that important. It's whether the new constitution goes through that's crucial. We'll see.
>Neither... and...<
Congratulations on spotting the deliberate mistake. Just testing you there...
>How many anti-US/UK War protests have you attended?<
None. Like I said, I'm not really that interested.
I'm not rewriting history (it's the US that's been more guilty of doing that ever since the ALLIED victory in WW2). What I wrote was a fairly common view in the UK both during and long after the war; a different and equally valid viewpoint. We could argue about this till the cows come home, but I've said my piece and won't post again here. 'Bye!

The opening days of the United Nations' General Assembly debate were unusually entertaining last week. Americans heard Iran's militant Islamic President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rant about the evils of Zionism and Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez refer to President George W. Bush as the "devil." Such colorful discussions among world leaders don't take place every day.
These are leaders of relatively large and influential nations, and the otherworldly ideas they espoused served the purpose of reminding viewers that there are no easy answers to international problems.
Whatever one thinks of America's oftentimes hubristic foreign policy, this confab should remind us that peaceful international relations cannot be achieved simply by getting leaders together to "talk."
Ahmadinejad might be shrewd and wily, as some observers say, but it's hard not to be concerned about the effect of his nation acquiring nuclear weapons, given his support for Islamic militant movements such as Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Iranian leader called for the United Nations to include in its Security Council the Organization of the Islamic Conference, an organization of 57 states formed in 1969 to strengthen Islamic solidarity.
Many member states, such as Yemen, actively support terrorists. Giving them a seat would not be much different from giving Osama bin Laden a seat at the U.N.
Chavez's talk had that retro feel to it, reminding us of the days when the Soviet Union was funding revolutionary movements in Central and South America. The Venezuelan government doesn't pose any threat to the United States or most anyone else these days, but it is a large oil-producing nation on which America has come to depend. The annoyance factor is relatively high.
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan gave his last major address as U.N. chief before he retires, and it successfully encapsulated the many half-truths and fantasies embodied in mainstream U.N. thinking. He, too, blamed many of the world's problems on Israel's "occupation," though Israel has pulled out of most of the so-called occupied territories.
Even President Bush's speech was a yawner, filled with the usual "peace and freedom" platitudes.
All this took place against a backdrop of back-room diplomacy in which the United States and France tried to cobble together a consistent position on what to do about Iranian nuclear developments. The Iranians seemed willing to negotiate here, but as American Enterprise Institute scholar Michael Rubin wrote in the Wall Street Journal, the Iranian regime "will say and do anything to buy the time necessary to acquire nuclear capability."
There's no great lesson we take away from the meeting, except to be reminded that the world is a crazy place, and gathering together its leaders only reinforces that reality.

UCLA's heart transplant program ranked among nation's best
The heart transplant program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center has again been recognized as one of highest ranking in the nation by an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
UCLA's program is one of only seven heart transplant centers nationwide — and the only one in California — to be ranked at the
silver level
by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which has federal oversight of the nation's organ donation and transplantation network.
The HRSA survey measures the performance of organ transplant centers by assessing transplant rates, post-transplant survival rates and mortality rates for patients after they are placed on organ-donation waiting lists. To earn silver status, a program must achieve better-than-expected performance in at least two of those categories. Only one center — a liver transplant program in Florida — earned a gold ranking for achievements in all three.
UCLA, which also earned silver status in 2010, when the HRSA organ transplant center survey was inaugurated, is the only heart transplant program in the U.S. to have earned a silver ranking twice.
"As the only two-time silver-level heart transplant program, we are incredibly proud of our team's hard work in providing the very best care for our patients who undergo this lifesaving treatment," said Dr. Abbas Ardehali, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and director of UCLA's heart transplant program. "This recognition acknowledges that patients in the UCLA heart transplant program have a better chance of survival."
The HRSA awards were presented Oct. 4 at ceremony held in Grapevine, Texas.
In addition, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center received the Department of Health and Human Services'
Bronze Medal of Honor for Organ Donation
for achieving and sustaining national goals for organ donation, including a donation rate of 75 percent or more of eligible donors.
"We are so proud of our health care professionals who reach out with great compassion and sensitivity to explain and inspire individuals and families to save lives as organ and tissue donors during emotionally difficult times," said Dr. J. Thomas Rosenthal, the medical center's chief medical officer. "Every life touched by organ and tissue donation crosses a bridge between death and life, grief and meaning, hope and healing. This award is a true honor."
The Medal of Honor awards were presented for work done between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2012.
The HRSA leads federal efforts to increase organ and tissue donation and transplantation and supports the Donation and Transplantation Community of Practice, which brings together donation and transplantation professionals, hospital staff and other professionals involved in the donation process to identify and share best practices.

Fitch: Sony More Likely to Sink Than Panasonic
Tiffany Kaiser
November 24, 2012 8:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: bestasiatravel.asia)
Panasonic will likely survive because it focuses on more than just consumer electronics
A credit rating agency said that Panasonic would likely survive longer than Sony after downgrading both electronics companies.
Credit rating agency Fitch recently lowered Panasonic's rating down two notches to BB, but cut Sony down three notches to BB minus. Other credit rating agencies have put them at the same level.
The reason for Fitch's credit ratings? It claims Panasonic has a "relatively stable consumer appliance business," such as refrigerators and washing machines, aside from just consumer electronics. Sony, on the other hand, is mainly depending on the extremely competitive consumer electronics market.
Right now, tech giants like Apple and Samsung have a strong hold on the electronics market, such as smartphones and tablets.
Sony's troubles largely stem from its failing TV business. It has seen eight straight years of quarterly losses, and last December, Sony decided to shake up its TV division by
negotiating a buyout
of its 50 percent manufacturing stake with Samsung in the LCD joint venture. It also
split its TV division into three units
consisting of sales of LCD TVs, outsourcing manufacturing to cheaper foreign facilities and developing future TVs.
To make matters worse, Sony reported a
record annual loss of
$5.7 billion USD
in May 2012.
However, new Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai has been working to turn the company around since he took over in April 2012. In fact, he offered an entirely
new plan for restructuring the company
. A key idea behind the restructuring was to strengthen core businesses, including digital imaging, games and mobile. He also opted to take over the failing TV business, expand business in emerging markets, create new businesses and realign the business portfolio.
Just last month, Sony
closed a factory in Japan and cut 2,000 jobs
at its Tokyo headquarters.
While Hirai is trying to make Sony profitable again, Fitch said "most of their electronic business are loss making" and "appear to be overstretched."
Fitch said Panasonic, on the other hand, is focusing on areas other than consumer electronics like home appliances, lithium batteries, solar panels and automotive parts.

Couple's visits cause concerns
DANVILLE — Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden areas, but the couple could be simply conducting a survey.
State police say they received a complaint Saturday about a black man, approximately 6 feet 3 inches tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old, and a white woman with dark brown hair who arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver-colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
Another complaint Sunday described the same couple leaving pamphlets about the New England Homecare Union and United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont recently and it's believed that is what the couple was doing. State police are still trying to identify the couple, however, and verify their business.
State police advise residents to ask for identification from any strangers who arrive at their homes.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Gov.

By Karl Terry: Freedom Newspapers
A religion graduate of Eastern New Mexico University, Heather Husted always felt she would be in a Gospel ministry somewhere. The Roosevelt County native never dreamed it would be in a communist country.
Husted, who was born in Portales and grew up in Elida, is back home briefly from China where she has been teaching English at SIAS International University in Xinzheng City, a rural city (by Chinese standards) of 500,000, located 300 miles south of Beijing.
In the eyes of the Chinese government, she's officially an English teacher, but Husted says the team she went to China with is organized as Christian ministry.
"In China, it's illegal to be a Christian," Husted said. You can't just openly preach from a corner. Going there you have to forget about the normal ways of ministry."
While organized religion is illegal there, Husted said government officials assume any American there is a missionary, but they turn a blind eye to missionaries who are there to contribute to their society, such as university English teachers.
Husted says she and other faculty at the university are able to worship without retribution in their dormitory rooms as long as the gathering doesn't involve more than 15 people. The government assumes the American faculty, which numbers approximately 70, is worshipping on Sunday and the dorms are closed to visitors that day.
Husted and her team received training on ministering in the country prior to going to China last August. They were told they would be preaching primarily by showing an example of Christian life. Handing out Bibles or tracts is illegal. One instructor told them to preach the Gospel wherever they went, and whenever necessary to use words.
"They're a culture without hope and love," Husted said. "At first they don't know how to handle it (Gospel) but they do crave it. They do seek you out."
Friends and family say they knew Husted had been called to minister, but never dreamed it would be China.
"It really surprised me and scared me. … She's a long way from home," said Husted's father, Andy Husted, of Portales. "She's doing well with it though, and she's beginning to learn some Chinese."
Husted says she owes a lot to her father and mother, Eileen Husted, and to the Methodist community in Portales and the entire community of Elida for their support both spiritually and financially.
"I've lived in a bubble my whole life," Husted said. "I didn't think I could do it, I'm just this small town girl. I know that when God calls you to a job he equips you to do it."
The 27-year-old Husted, who is on break for Chinese New Year, is contracted with the 8-year-old university through the school year's end in June. She says she plans to stay at least another year. Past that, she says she'll just leave things up to God.
What: Potluck and program by Heather Husted, Missionary to China
When: Noon Sunday
Where: First United Methodist Church in Portales

|A garlic studded pork roast recipe, with a butter based mustard rub, caramelized onions, and a basting sauce made from mango jam with hot pepper jelly.
Roast Pork with Spicy Sweet Onion Pan SauceI just love a good pork roast, and this one truly fits. Moist and full of flavor, this has been my most favorite way to roast pork for years, and I just happened to have a pork roast in the freezer.
The use of the mango jam with the hot pepper jelly, intertwined with the caramelized onion, makes for a wonderfully sweet and spicy pan sauce that marries well to the pork and is just absolutely delightful to the tongue. Don't worry if you don't have mango jam - apricot works, as will peach or even apple! Serve this with some southern style green beans and some roasted potatoes and you have a well balanced, delicious and nutritious meal.
Let's get started!
The first thing we're gonna do is lightly caramelize some onion to draw out the natural sweetness. Heat some olive oil and butter in a heavy bottomed stainless or cast iron skillet over medium heat. You don't want to use a non-stick skillet here. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Just cut the ends off of the onion, cut it in half lengthwise, turn and slice.
While the onions are cooking, combine the chicken broth, jam and pepper jelly in a small saucepan and cook over medium low heat until liquified. If you don't keep pepper jelly on hand, you can simply omit it and use more jam.
In the meantime, let's get started with studding our pork roast with some slivers of garlic. Start by taking a sharp paring knife and cutting a slit into the roast.
Stick one of the slivers in the slit.
And push it deep into the roast so that it disappears. Repeat this all over the roast with the rest of the garlic.
The onions are just beginning to soften and turn a very light gold color, so we'll keep them going.
The chicken stock with the jam and jelly is ready, so let's set it aside to cool. As you see I used a bit less this time since the roast I'm using is a bit smaller than usual.That's my most favorite measuring cup there too. Great for everybody, but especially "older" eyes.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, mustard, thyme and pepper.
Mix that together well using a spatula to blend it.
Now the onions are lookin' just about right. Remember we don't want to deeply caramelize them; we only want to just start the release of the sugars.
Line a baking dish with several layers of aluminum foil and pile the onions in the center of the foil.
Place the roast on top of the onions and use the same spatula to spread the butter mixture all over the top and sides of the roast.
Pour the stock mix all around the bottom of the roast inside the aluminum foil tub and gather the foil up loosely around the roast, leaving the top exposed.
Bake at 350 degrees F, for about 1-1/2 hours, roughly 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer reaches about 160 degrees, basting the roast with the liquid and turning the pan occasionally. Remove, loosely tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onion to a skillet. Use a gravy separator or skim any fat from the top of the sauce and then place the sauce into the skillet with the onion. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until sauce has reduced. Slice roast and serve with a drizzle of the pan sauce over the top, or serve the sauce on the side at the table.

- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, halved and sliced
- 2 cups of chicken stock or broth
- 2 tablespoons of mango, apricot, peach or other jam
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper jelly
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, softened to room temp
- 2 tablespoons of Creole or Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut deep slits into the pork, inserting the slivers of garlic. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook until the onion just begins to caramelize. While the onions are cooking, heat the chicken stock, jam and pepper jelly in a small saucepan until melted and well incorporated; set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the 1/2 stick of butter with the mustard, thyme, and pepper and smear all over the pork. Line a baking pan with a double or triple layer of aluminum foil and transfer onions to the bottom of an aluminum foil covered roasting pan. Place the roast on top of the onions. Loosely gather the foil around the roast, leaving the top open and pour the chicken stock mixture around the roast.
Bake at 350 degrees F, for about 1-1/2 hours, roughly 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer reaches about 145 degrees F, basting the roast with the liquid and turning the pan occasionally. Remove, loosely tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes.
While the roast is resting, use a slotted spoon to remove the onion to a skillet. If necessary, drain the sauce into a gravy separator. Add the defatted sauce to the onions and bring to a boil; reduce to medium and cook until reduced about half. Slice pork and serve with some of the onion and a drizzle of the reduced pan sauce.

July 19, 2012 —
New York State political caucus meetings have been exempt from the Open Meetings Law since 1977. A political caucus is when the majority of a governing body meets behind closed doors away from the public to conduct business. The New York State Committee on Open Government does, however, emphasize that it is essential to the democratic process that public business be performed in an open and public manner and that our citizens have the right to observe the performance of our public officials and attend the decisions that set public policy. At the same time, New York State law does allow for legislators to meet in "Executive Session" from which the public may be excluded to discuss eight areas of sensitive business such as those which may imperil public safety.
So what about Sullivan County? Currently, our county legislature consists of nine legislators duly elected by their respective districts. There are seven Democrats who meet regularly in one room to discuss business, and two Republicans who meet in another. Once out of caucus, some debate occurs in committee and then the vote takes place in public with little discussion, since much debate has already taken place in caucus. This conducting of business in a closed caucus hinders communication and information flow among all nine legislators, each representing our people. With questions arising from the public concerning decisions made behind closed doors, it is time to conduct the public's business in an open and transparent manner by opening closed caucus to the public and utilizing executive session when needed for sensitive business matters only.
The public is encouraged to attend the next full board meeting of the legislature held on Thursday, July 19 at 2 p.m. in the legislative meeting room, second floor of the Sullivan County Government Center.

Upton brothers settling in with BravesAP Photo
Atlanta Braves outfielder Justin Upton hits a home run off New York Mets relief pitcher Jeremy Hefner during the first inning Monday in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. Justin Upton is told it has to be about the coolest thing in the world to play big-league baseball with his brother B.J.
But he redirects that line of inquiry.
Sure, it was great to join the Braves with his brother, but now its time to work.
Its fun, Upton said, but were in baseball mode now. We are going about our business the same way we would if we werent on the same team.
Thats why conversations between the brothers in the clubhouse and on the field tend to be technical talk, not familial banter. At a recent batting practice, for example, B.J. was explaining to Justin how hed worked out a hitch he once had in his swing.
Braves outfielder Jason Heyward said the Uptons have gone out of their way to become integrated with other players rather than stand apart as brothers.
They are brothers, but you almost forget they are brothers until you think about it, Heyward said. They are teammates first. Thats whats awesome, man.
The baseball part is nothing new for the Uptons. They are experienced big-league players and so know the rhythms of spring training and how to get ready for the games that count.
Whats new for the Uptons is playing in the same team together. That hasnt happened since high school, when they teamed up on a fall travel squad.
Its a rare thing for brothers to make the majors and rarer still for them to play on the same team. The Baseball Almanac estimates its happened about 100 other times in history.
Its pretty fun, B.J. said. Its been a pretty cool experience so far. Im sure its going to get better during the season.
The uniqueness of the Uptons situation has drawn attention this spring. More relevant to Atlantas success is how quickly it takes for the brothers to become comfortable with their new club.
Neither player has had to do it before. Justin spent all of his previous five full seasons with Arizona before the Braves acquired him in a trade in January; B.J. had only played for Tampa since his 2004 debut.
The Braves need them both to adjust quickly. Justin, the left fielder, is slotted to bat third and B.J., the center fielder, is fifth in the order.
Its been a good transition, Justin said. Its a good clubhouse, a lot of good guys. Obviously its a little bit different for me. Im getting used to it. I think having a good clubhouse with good guys has helped.
Atlantas mainstays have done their part to help with the process. Thats especially true for Heyward, who plays right field, Justins position with the Diamondbacks.
To that end, the three outfielders have spent time away from the field getting to know one another. Thats included time during the spring at B.J.s home in Tampa.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez has aided the process by purposely putting the Uptons and Heyward in the lineup together, which means they also have the same off days.
These guys have been nothing but great to us, B.J. said. Theyve taken us in like one of their own. We have fun. Its like weve been here for years.
At the same time the Uptons adjust to their new club they are preparing for a season with big expectations for both them and the Braves.
Justin, 25, posted a .785 OPS last season, his lowest since becoming a regular, while struggling with nagging injuries. Arizona management decided the former MVP candidate was expendable.
Im trying to get feet my wet with the ballclub and also get back to form and the way Ive played in the past, he said. Obviously last year wasnt fun dealing with injury and not playing as well. But this year Im looking to bounce back and just put together a good year.
B.J., 28, also is trying to duplicate the kind of production he had in earlier seasons that hinted at his potential. His best season was in 2007, when he had an OPS of .894, and he hasnt approached that mark since then.
Im working on things ... , he said. Thats what spring training is for. Its important than you are working and trying to get ready for the season.
When word leaked that the Braves were talking to the Diamondbacks about acquiring Justin Upton, B.J. posted a message to his Twitter account that said it would be a dream come true if the trade happened.
It did happen. But now that the novelty has faded the Uptons say they are focused on business.
Yeah, I think its cool, but I think we are kind of past that, B.J. said. We are just here to play baseball.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

Watchdog: Pipeline safety oversight inadequateap file photo
A massive fire roars through a mostly residential neighborhood in San Bruno, Calif., in 2010. A report released Friday by the Department of Transportations inspector general says the federal agency responsible for making sure states effectively oversee the safety of natural gas and other pipelines is falling down on the job.
WASHINGTON The federal agency responsible for making sure states effectively oversee the safety of natural gas and other pipelines is failing to do its job, a government watchdog said in a report released Friday.
The federal effort is so riddled with weaknesses that its not possible to ensure states are enforcing pipeline safety, the report by the Transportation Departments Office of Inspector General said. The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, or PHMSA, isnt ensuring key state inspectors are properly trained, inspections are being conducted frequently enough and inspections target the most risky pipelines, it said.
The findings come more than three years after a gas pipeline explosion and fire killed eight people, injured 58 and destroyed much of a subdivision in San Bruno, Calif., a suburb south of San Francisco. Accident investigators cited weak state and federal oversight.
The nations network of about 2.5 million miles of pipelines moves millions of gallons of hazardous liquids and 55 billion cubic feet of natural gas every day. Eighty-five percent of these pipelines are under state authority. The report doesnt address the safety administrations oversight of interstate pipelines like the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Cynthia Quarterman, head of the safety administration, defended her agencys record, pointing to a two-thirds decline in the number of accidents and incidents involving gas distribution pipelines over the past 30 years.
There were 21 serious incidents on distribution pipelines in 2013 and 24 incidents in 2012, which were the lowest number of serious incidents on record for the past 30 years, she said in response to the inspector generals findings included in the report.
Since 2010, when the San Bruno and four other major accidents occurred, she wrote, there have been no serious incidents to date on intrastate transmission lines, which are larger than distribution lines. But the agency also fully or partially agreed with seven recommendations made in the report.
Among the weaknesses cited in the report is that the safety administration is using an outdated formula to calculate the minimum number of inspectors states need. More inspectors may be needed to carry out new inspection methods and responsibilities since the formula was developed in the 1990s.
More than 20 percent of the nations total gas distribution pipelines are more than 50 years old or composed of material such as cast iron or bare steel that are more susceptible to failure than newer pipelines made with more resilient materials. However, the safety administrations staffing formula also doesnt take into account whether more personnel are needed to inspect these riskier pipelines, the report said.
The agency also hasnt set minimum qualifications for state inspectors who lead inspection teams, the report said. In one state, for example, an inspector with less than one years experience was allowed to lead inspections, it said.
Because it has not set minimum qualifications for state inspectors to lead standard inspections, PHMSA cannot be sure that state inspections cover all federal requirements and ensure pipeline operators maintain safety, Assistant Inspector General Jeffrey Guzzetti said in the report.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

|Printer-Friendly Version Download RIN Data in XML
|Publication ID: Spring 2006
|Title: Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Medical Products Intended for Use in Humans and Drugs Intended for Use in Ruminants
|Abstract: The regulation would prohibit the use of certain cattle material in the manufacture of medical products for humans and drugs for ruminants, and would require recordkeeping for products containing or manufactured with cattle materials to enable monitoring and enforcement of the prohibitions. The rule would prohibit the same cattle material that is prohibited in the previous FDA IFR that applies to foods and cosmetics. These include certain high risk tissues (e.g., brain, skull, eyes, spinal cord, trigeminal ganglia, parts of the vertebral column, and dorsal root ganglia) from cattle 30 months and older, tonsils and the distal ileum of cattle of any age, mechanically separated beef, material from nonambulatory disabled cattle, and material from cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption. The prohibitions would apply only to materials derived from animals slaughtered after the effective dates of the rules. The prohibitions would not apply to tallow that met a specified purity standard. The rule would provide criteria for deviations from the requirements based on a showing of safety or appropriate benefit to risk ratio.

But I have no problem with Governor Walker cutting funding for arts programs. He should have cut more than what he did.
Arts funding is a luxury, and when the economy is the way it is, there's no reason to not cut its funding the same way that other, more essential, services are being cut.

Police: Threat lead to shootingApril 30,2014
Police: Threat
lead to shooting
ESSEX A Vermont National Guard member threatened family members with a gun before one of them shot and killed him, police said.
Kryn Miner died of multiple gunshot wounds to his head, neck and torso early Saturday, the state medical examiners office said.
Miner, 44, had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, police said.
No arrests have been made, and the people involved in the shooting have been cooperative with law enforcement, Essex Police Chief Bradley LaRose said.
The surviving members of the Miner family are victims of an unimaginable set of circumstances, he said.
The police investigations findings will be presented to the Chittenden County states attorney for review, police said.
Miner was with the Vermont National Guard during its 2010 deployment to Afghanistan. Guard spokesman Maj. Christopher Gookin said Miner held the position of chief warrant officer 2 and was assigned to the headquarters company of the Guards 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
The Guards adjutant general, Major Gen. Steve Cray, offered condolences to the Miner family Tuesday.
On behalf of the men and women of the Vermont National Guard our thoughts and prayers are with the Miner family, he said.

Okay. so we bench are most popular and hardest working player.. Yea, thats a great message. Things are going to get extremely ugly..and I mean fast
David Lee appeared displeased by Isiah Thomas' statement that he will be heading to the bench shortly, when Jared Jeffries and Channing Frye make their returns.
Lee, the team's most popular and scrappiest player, had always followed the company line, so his remarks were very significant.
"I'm surprised he's already made the decision," said Lee, who's started at power forward since Frye sprained his ankle 10 days ago.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Okay. so we bench are most popular and hardest working player.. Yea, thats a great message. Things are going to get extremely ugly..and I mean fast
i sorta agree.. i think that jefferies and frye should get a starting job by earning it back when they are healthy.
normally a player does not lose his job because of an injury, but these are not normal times here in knick-land.
the team is dying for players who show up every night, and so far this year that's q-rich and lee... and recently i guess curry..
some guys will have a bruised ego being the 6th or 7th man... tough ****...
I totally agree, David Lee and Balkman hustle their asses off which is more then i can say for anyone else on the team, besides maybe Q rich. Frye should not get his job back and jeffries never had it. Yea he was IT's "big" offseason signing but he has never played with the other guys and im sure he will be rusty. If i was Lee i would be pissed too, the guy averages almost a double double and your gonna bench him. thats bull****.
i love lee as a player, he is hardworking and someone I would want in the starting line up.
Alot would disagree with me, but I think we could package QRich and Marbury or Francis for two capable players. I think this is something we should look at. I cant see this same roster winning the playoffs unless something like this is done. The only trade bait we have...
QRich - keep playing him, trade him for someone we can see has chemistry with other players.
Frye - injured value gone down.
Lee - We should sleep on Lee, I like him and see him in the future lineup at PF with Curry.
Who agrees./disagrees with this
David Lee should shut up and go back to the bench. When you come off the bench (secondary player) you know that when an injured starter is returning he won't lose his position to injury. Lee has been effective, but his bitching does nothing for team chemistry, which at times seems very tenuous at best. If this was Stephon Marbury unfortunately everyone would be on him for being a bad teammate. Lee knew this was temp job, so really he has no reason to act out this way.
I don't think Lee can be blamed for what he said. And what did he said in fact?
Honestly, that's not bitching"Let's put it this way, I don't think it's a compliment. At the same time, I respect his judgment on whatever he decides to do, whether coming off the bench or playing. I'd like to think I can bring that consistent energy if I start or I'm off the bench."
as to packaging 'Q' with one of our point guards, i don't think there is a market for either... both have a lot of baggage tagging along with them... namely $ 40m (give of take a couple of $$$) owed over the next two years..
if u are a contender and aquiring 'starbury' or franchise puts u over the top, then maybe u look at them, but does anyone really think that a contender is going to look at either of those guys and think they are the answer?? i don't .
if u are not a contender, what the hell will either guy give u for $40m??.. they ain't making u an upper tier team, so u mite as well go with guys making a lot less..
if I.Thomas can move either of them, in my mind he is G.M. of the year.

Thomas was kinda messed up singling out Lee like that. especially when hes playing better then pretty much everyone on the team. what has Frye done so good that makes him a lock as a starter? nothing that ive seen. and the more time is going by the more he is reminding me of Kenyon Martin. not the style of play but the inconsistency and how he has been injury prone.
Lee- 10.7PPG 8.9RPG
Frye- 7.6PPG 5.5 RPG
channing needs to prove he can play @ the level he did the begining of last season on a steady basis. the truth is he hasn't yet. and carpy take it ez. if anything lee bit his toungue when questioned by the media. he was very professional about it.
our starters get us in a hole early mainly because of rebounding. frye next to curry allows the opposition to rip down boards on both ends of the court @ ease. lee allows curry to worry more about his offense and getting up and down the court then chasing rebounds. i dont care whatchu say ... David Lee is a better man for the job.
Now I love D. Lee as a player and our starting PF. I think that should be his role for the sake of chemistry with curry. However, he is the second-to-last person I thought would make the comment he did.
When NYK began the season, they began as a team. Everyone knew their roles and embraced it for better or worse. His would be to play off the bench and everything that comes with it. I knew things were going to get ugly when Al Trautwig asked Lee what he thought was the reason for Curry's recent string of dominant play. Lee responded "Other than me starting. Nah just kiddin". -------WHATTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Now he makes the comment that he's surprised that IT has made "that" decision already. -------WHATTTTT!!!!!!! Isaiah made the decision a month ago when the season started.
Can anyone see the knife in Channing's back (best friend on the team). Can anyone see the knife in Isaiah's back (the one who saw his potential and drafted him). Obviously Lee is going for self which only means certain disaster. As a matter of fact he's stabbing in the gut, out in the open.
I made my point. If you took the same quote from Lee and put Marbury or Francis, everyone would be losing their minds. That's the truth. Has anyone here ever spoken out about their boss? NO! Why? It's considered to be...UNPROFESSIONAL!! It is inexecuseable. No comment or a private meeting with Isiah is how Lee should have expressed himself. You don't do that in the papers. Ballhead is right, as I also stated in my previous post, chemistry is key. So to all the people who think I should take it easy, answer one question. How does Lee's comments help chemistry? Frye spreads the floor when he is on. Lee has no jumper to speak of, and primary scores off work created by our guards. His shooting percentage is high because he scores at the cup. Ultimately, we will need a PF that has inside/outside versatility. That is Frye when he is on.

It's a good sign to see a player react like that. It proves that he's really concerned and motivate to reach a better level and some responsabilities in the team... Who's could prefer a player happy to get back on the bench to start??? All the rest is newspapers stories...
Allez les Knicks! (and sorry for my english
channing knows lee is playin better basketball than him right now. i cant see him arguin that. and bein that they are close friends lee knew frye wouldnt take it to heart. he said the 1st thing that came into his head. should he have been excited to be going back to the bench? trautwig asked him that knowing w/e his response was the media would have fun with it. ny reporters r ruthless n like to start drama so they have something to write about. after tonite Lee is 2nd in the LEAGUE in fg%. stop makin excuses and giving the credit to the guards. i dont think someone whos shooting that good and rippin down rebounds the way he is deserves to be on the bench to start the game. when channing comes back he should earn his way back to the starting 5 because of his poor play and to prove the injury hasnt effected him.
