It has not always been easy, but it's worth it, Cheryl Williams said.
The Vallejo woman is collecting donations for her eighth annual Homeless and Motel Drive.
Williams, who was living in motels at one point in her life, has dedicated each holiday season to serving those in need by visiting them at Vallejo motels. She is also the founder of Solano Women's and Children's Center.
On Dec. 22, Williams is planning to roll into several motel parking lots armed with cars full of gifts.
During her visits, she will offer information about services available for the families she encounters.
However, she said she needs the public to help her ensure the annual tradition continues.
"Without them, this does not happen," Williams said. "We need all the support from the community."
Williams is looking for blankets, coats, toiletries, non-perishable food, toys and gift certificates for restaurants.
The donations can be dropped off at 6325 Pebble Beach Road, but donors are asked to call Williams at 342-2274 or Shontha Bohanon at 245-1146 to arrange a drop-off time. Donations are accepted up to the morning of the event.
The public is also invited to join the event from 1 to 3 p.m. on Dec. 22. Contact Williams for more information.
Volunteers from Victory Outreach, Eyes of Angels and Stone Cold Riderz Motorcycle Club will be assisting, Williams said.

I have been left a box full of these coin like objects which measure aroung 6-7cms in diameter. Some are metal and some are thicker (around 0.5cm) and made of plaster.
There are no markings to suggest they are coins, but I have a feeling they may be French. They are all head and shoulder images.
Do you know what they could be? Are they purely decorative?

Show Detailed Description
This is a feasibility study to examine combination therapy with Trastuzumab (T), Cyclophosphamide (CY), and an allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting whole cell breast cancer vaccine in patients with Stage IV HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer. The main purposes of this study are to test the safety, clinical benefit, and bioactivity of vaccine therapy in combination with Cyclophosphamide and Trastuzumab in patients with HER-2/neu-overexpressing Stage IV breast cancer. This study will also to test whether the Cyclophosphamide can eliminate the suppressive influence of regulatory T cells, and whether Trastuzumab can increase antigen processing and presentation. These drug activities may make the immune system react better and enhance the effects of the vaccine in treating breast cancer. The vaccine consists of two irradiated allogeneic mammary carcinoma cell lines genetically modified to secrete human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). This open label, single arm study is designed to recruit up to 40 subjects to identify 20 research subjects with HER-2/neu-overexpressing Stage IV breast cancer eligible for study treatment.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Allo GM-CSF-secreting vaccine, Trastuzumab, Cyclophosphamide
Allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting breast cancer vaccine : the vaccine containing a mixture of two GM-CSF-secreting allogeneic breast cancer cell lines (two parts 2T47D-V and one part 3SKBR3-7 mixed in a fixed dose of 5 X 10^8 cells for each patient and each vaccination cycle) given intradermally every 4-6 weeks for 3 cycles and then a 4th dose given 6-8 months after beginning the study.
Trastuzumab : An initial loading dose of 4 mg/kg for participants beginning treatment with Trastuzumab, otherwise 2 mg/kg given every week intravenously
Cyclophosphamide : 300 mg/m^2 given intravenously every 4-6 weeks for 3 cycles and then once 6-8 months after beginning the study
Biological: Allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting breast cancer vaccine
the vaccine containing a mixture of two GM-CSF-secreting allogeneic breast cancer cell lines (two parts 2T47D-V and one part 3SKBR3-7 mixed in a fixed dose of 5 X 108 cells for each patient and each vaccination cycle) on day 0.
Other Names:Drug: Trastuzumab
Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody specific for the extracellular domain of HER-2/neu (Carter et al., 1992) that is now one component of the standard of care for both early and late stage HER-2/neu-overexpressing breast cancers. It exerts a pleiotropic antitumor effect by multiple mechanisms (Emens, 2005). The antibody decreases heterodimer formation with other members of the EGFR family, thereby indirectly inhibiting signaling through the ras/Raf/MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways (Arteaga, 2003). It also inhibits tumor neovascularization (Izumi et al., 2002), and augments apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo (Lee et al., 2002; Chang et al., 2003). Trastuzumab prevents cleavage of the extracellular domain of HER-2/neu, thus abrogating the constitutive activation of the remaining membrane-associated intracellular domain.
Other Name: HerceptinDrug: Cyclophosphamide
The doses of Cyclophosphamide are based on previously reported clinical experience as well as our own preclinical data demonstrating augmented vaccine efficacy with CY-modulated vaccination. In particular, 300 mg/m2
Other Name: Cytoxan

Is there a way for me to get more facebook like?
Create more things people are interested in and find ways to get it infront of them. The user will take care of the rest...
Promote your Facebook page over other relevant Face book pages, so that people from those face book pages can also Like your page, this is one of the best and the most quickest way to get a good number of likes over your page. Besides that, you also need to entertain people by sharing different useful information, posts and pictures in order to get a good number of likes.
However if you are looking forward towards getting a good amount of Facebook likes without much efforts than you can hire a SMM for this job, as they know how to get this job done in the smallest interval of time.
Keep it engaged and active.. keep posting relevant stuff considering the interest of your existing fans. If they like what you posting they will share and chances of getting your content viral.
If you plan to buy bunch of likes, don't go for it. Google can detect the likes are manufactured and it really won't help you much.
And how exactly does Google fit into Social Media?
As far as this forum goes, it doesn't. Because here we are talking about Social Media content for humans, not for Google. (I know YOU knew that, I just wanted to make sure everyone else knows it, too. )
"Be Different Do Different " this famous quote will help you definitely because it is one of the way that people show interest towards your post..The summary of the post is the most important thing to keep in mind ,this avoids the skipping of your post.
There is no shortcut for building social media which would be fit into Google . Relationships must be built organically no auto-follow scams and should be backed up with real contacts, share interests and promote your brand.
Which is the purpose of this forum. So we can turn the conversation away from Search Engines and towards the people who make Social Media work. I believe that may have been the point of TheRaptor's question to you. If Google doesn't fit (and it doesn't) then why discuss it, especially in a forum that's for people and not Search engines.
Ask your friends and family to like your page, ask your followers on twitter if you still want more use some social exchange website for gaining more likes.
Again I'll ask the simple question... to what end? Aside from getting a bigger number [and a lower overall engagement rate] what's the benefit to you or your community?
There is no benefit expect you look more popular. Don't know about you but when I start promoting a facebook page I would like to have at least 100 likes, even though they are fake, its way better then having 0 likes. People tend to be attracted to popularity even if they have little idea about that specific thing they are liking and this is very true, especially on facebook. 2 exact funny photos can get very different number of likes on facebook, one could get 0 and the other one could get 1000 just because a couple of guys found it funny at the right moment and liked it.
Add more friends on facebook and suggest the page which u wanna promote. this is the easiest way to increase the facebook like!
Create a lot of friends .If you have huge friend list you can easily get more likes.And join different kinds of groups.If you have a good topic then create a group and invite friends and share your page url and tell them like your page.By following this tips you can get more likes.
You could buy likes but these would be no use what so ever (they will be mostly fake). Whats more important is people interacting with your posts & activity i.e. comments
But in the end, where does this popularity (in terms of likes) get you? Does it translate to more business? I read recently (can't seem to find the link) that hunting for likes is the wrong approach from a business point of view. Rather than have a like button on your site, focus your visitors more on sharing your content on Facebook ... so that friends see a bit more of your content and actually value the content / product, rather than being impressed by likes and then forgetting about you.
The best way is to ask your friends to like it and make sure that the content is really catch so that their are chances of making it go viral.
There are many ways to get many likes on your facebook posts. I would like to list it here... Here it starts
Facebook users are more interested in images than in text.So try to add more relevant and funny images regarding what you are planning to promote. I swear... it will get ,more likes.
Girls account get more likes.I know one guy who created a fake facebook account of a girl in order to get more like to promote his blog.
Stop spamming and add valueIf you keep on spam with links, you can see that people would not be interested to check it out... But if you are more interactive then people will click or like whatever you do on facebook.
Your advice would seem to be at odds.

The investigators hypothesize that exercise in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors will result in an increase in the plasma concentrations of angiostatic factors and a decrease in the plasma concentrations of angiogenic factors. Exercise is expected to result in a circulating angiostatic phenotype that inhibits adipose tissue mass, growth of breast cancer tumor, growth of microscopic residual disease after breast cancer resection, decreases rates of local-regional recurrence, decreases rates of distant recurrence, and increases survival.

Hi friend,
I just noticed that in Ven. Thanissaro's translation of DN22: "There is the case where a monk — having gone to the wilderness, to the shade of a tree, or to an empty building — sits down folding his legs crosswise, holding his body erect and setting mindfulness to the fore [lit: the front of the chest]".
I don't know the pali word used for "the fore", but according to the inserted note, it seems that we should probably set our mindfulness to the front of the chest? To me the chest part is more sensible during breathing and it's probably better than focusing on the nostril, which is too restricted and could cause blood fixation on that spot. But why none of the translations I've found so far actually translated "the fore" into "the front of the chest"?

Petra/Wadi Musa Trips
Massive façades are cut into the cliff face, soaring upwards to dizzying heights. Around every corner are masterpieces of vibrantly coloured and sculpted rock worthy of an art gallery but formed by nature rather than man. Ancient staircases cut into the rock lead to silent summits, where the grand vistas of jagged mountains spread out before you. This is the Nabataean capital of Petra, Jordan's most impressive and most famous historical sight.
Petra has been a focus of settlement since pre-historic times, but it was under the Nabataeans that it reached its apotheosis as a centre for trade. From around the 3rd century BC, the Nabataeans began to abandon their nomadic lifestyle and build a city at Petra. Passing trade not only brought great wealth but also inspired a synthesis of Hellenistic, Egyptian and indigenous architectural influences, resulting in the stunning monuments for which Petra is famous.Read more
The magic of Petra is enhanced by the experience of walking through the Siq, the naturally formed narrow canyon that provides the atmospheric entranceway to the city. The Siq runs for 1.2 kilometres and in places is just 3 metres wide, with rock walls eroded into fantastic shapes towering up to 200 metres on each side. The numerous twists and turns of the path bring you suddenly to your first glimpse of the Treasury (Al Khazneh), one of Petra's best preserved and most impressive temple façades. As you emerge from the Siq, the sudden bright sunlight and the sheer scale of this monument are truly dazzling. The Treasury towers to over 40 metres and is comprised of two tiers, supported by Corinthian columns and decorated with carvings.
Beyond the Treasury the main route passes tombs, dwellings, temples and the central city area, with its colonnaded Roman street. However, two of Petra's most impressive sights are to be found above the valley floor. The Monastery (Ad Deir) is one of Petra's best preserved monuments and the long steep climb to get there is well worth the effort. Equally stunning is the 'High Place of Sacrifice' on the summit of Jebel Madhbah, which affords magnificent views in all directions. Although thousands of tourists visit Petra each day, it is easy to find peaceful walks, beautiful views and little-visited monuments along the Petra back roads, still used by the local Bedouin but seldom trodden by the masses, so if you want to discover the real magic of this grand site, take time to trek out into the hills.

Just Kidding, it's about Reggie (surprise surprise!!!)
I Just want to know, is the grieving period over? Has he reached legendary (at least here) proportions and the occasional highlight reel or Larry Brown final time out are no longer allowed to generate tears? I watched the Lakers/Pacers finals series, and seeing those still brought a tear to my eye. Hell, that damn commercial with Timmy D, D-Wade, Reggie, etc. makes me tear up every time I see it.
Is the grace period over? Is this the last Reggie farewell directed post?Are Mariah Carey's boobs really real?

Montero's quality at-bat impresses Wedge
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Through five games and 14 at-bats entering Monday, Mariners catcher Jesus Montero has started his spring as hot as anybody, totaling seven hits including four for extra bases. According to manager Eric Wedge, however, one of his plate appearances so far stands above the rest.
Facing Rangers right-hander Justin Grimm on Sunday, Montero battled through an eight-pitch at-bat before launching a home run to center field. He faced two strikes early in the count, but fought off four straight foul balls to get the pitch he wanted.
"That's the way he needs to play," Wedge said. "He's sticking his nose in there offensively and battling through ABs. That at-bat he had is probably the best at-bat I've ever seen him have. Against a guy throwing pretty good with good stuff. He ended up winning it in the end, and winning it in a big way."
Wedge has liked Montero's start to the spring defensively as well.
"You talk about the position that he's playing and the responsibilities and priorities that go along with that," Wedge said. "He's right in the middle of understanding it."
The 23-year-old hit .260 last season in 135 games for the Mariners while throwing out just 11 of 65 on the bases.

Astros want more versatility from offense
SEATTLE -- Home runs had accounted for 59.4 percent of the Astros' runs entering Wednesday, which is largely a product of the team's struggles with runners in scoring position. Houston ranked last in the Majors in batting average with runners in scoring position (.167) and batting average on balls in play (.233), which doesn't take into account home runs.
The Astros began play Wednesday tied for second with the White Sox in the American League with 25 home runs. The Angels, behind eight homers from Albert Pujols, ranked first in the AL with 31 homers. But the Astros were 29th in the Majors in RBIs (61), while the White Sox and Angels ranked second and third, respectively.
"You don't want to live and die with the long ball," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "I will say, in the last few days we've been able to get some big two-out hits and hits with men in scoring position. Even the outs we're making, the at-bats have been real quality. That's not something you want to make a habit of, the majority of your runs coming via the home run. You want to string quality at-bats together with men in scoring position and use the whole field."
The Astros were 7-6 in games in which they had homered and 0-8 in games in which they didn't homer. They also ranked tied for first in the AL with seven multihomer games.

Performance and Comfort Considerations for Curling Shoes
The Quantum integrated design system (I.D.S.) leaves behind the use of an adhesive to attach a slider and gripper to the sole of the shoe. The adhesive bond has been the standard for generations, however, in addition to delaminating problems, it has bound us to Teflon* as the only material that could be used as a slider. The Quantum employs an innovative mechanical attachment system wherein slider and gripper "disks" are snapped into strategically positioned receptacles in the sole.
The advantages of Quantum Discs are numerous:
- The slider discs do not have to be bondable or flexible, hence they can be molded from a wide variety of plastics, or machined from Teflon or stainless steel, each material offering different performance characteristics;
- The discs are easily changed. Simply snap out the old disk and snap in the new. Upgrading slider speed, replacing a damaged disk, accommodating preferences such as slider disks on the front and gripper discs on the back, and setting up for lefthanders are all readily accomplished without pro-shop assistance;
- The disks will not fall out;
- The disk pattern creates a "Stability Channel" running the length of the shoe. This pattern focuses weight to the periphery of the sole, thereby widening the balance platform and increasing stability.
- The slider disks are available in various materials, each offering a different speed, while the gripper disk features a TPR rubber surface which affords optimal traction.
Slider Thickness - slider speed increases with the thickness of the Teflon™, ¼" being the thickest and the fastest. Every curler should be looking for optimal slide with a minimum of leg thrust. For most curlers excessive leg thrust results in instability. Experienced curlers who are accustomed to the ice and do not have stability concerns usually prefer a fast slider, whereas less experienced curlers usually want to balance speed with stability. It is important to keep in mind that inexperienced curlers generally have low leg thrust and, if they are equipped with an excessively slow slider, the result will be an unsatisfactory delivery.
Hinged Front Slider - sliders that have a thickness of 5/32" or greater tend to be rigid, limiting any heel elevation during delivery. The Podium sole itself, not the slider, is designed to afford the appropriate degree of longitudinal flexibility. Rigidity also results in constant heel rubbing during walking. By splitting the front from the back slider and "hinging" the front slider, the negative effect of rigidity is eliminated on Podium Gold and Silver shoes.
Lateral Stability - stability during delivery is best achieved by distributing weight equally across the width of the sole. During delivery the natural tendency is for weight to be shifted to the outside of the sliding foot. The outsole on the Podium series is expressly moulded to incorporate a lateral stabilizer in the ball of the foot. The result is even distribution of weight across the slider, a wider balance platform and enhanced stability.
Warmth - insulation throughout the upper and air cushioning in the sole ensure warmth on all Podium models.
Comfort and Fit - careful attention to materials and design afford slipper like comfort from the first time Podium shoes are worn. Further, the Silver model is available in both REGULAR and WIDE fit. Unlike most curling shoes, ladies Podiums are built on specific women's moulds.
Quality - most shoe manufacturing relies upon a high volume production line. Only high end shoes are still produced in lower volume "hand made" factories. The entire Podium line is produced in such an environment – guaranteeing careful attention to quality and detail.

I just want Houston and us to win, I really really wanna see us play the Broncos....would be fun bc it's a win win for most Colts fans

Why so SERIOUS
I am expecting a couple of picks from Flacco, 80-90 yds from Rice, no turnover for the Colts.
Letting you guys know this right now, the Ravens will try to test us deep early, we better be ready.
Why so SERIOUS
Lewis is back for them? Even if he won't be 100% ready, the psychological boost for them will be crucial.
Come on Colts, you can do it. Cannot wait for the playoffs and Sunday especially.
I could see this game going either way. I think Baltimore will win, but I'm not at all scared of a QB who has only beaten the Colts once and it was in the 2011 lost season. They also lost to Philly and could only hang 9 on KC. But then they also beat the Pats and scored one of the handful of 50+ point games in the NFL this year. Baltimore is an enigma. If good Baltimore shows up the Colts won't be able to hang. If bad Baltimore shows up the Colts should win. I predict a mix of both.
I'll say:

Ray Lewis is now retiring at the end of the season. I would love for the Colts to end his career this weekend, at least then Baltimore could hate us for a reason that is still relevant in the 21st century.
Pagano was their Defensive Coordinator last year and Secondary coach for the three years prior to that, so obviously he knows a thing or two about that team. I'm sure he knows the flaws of Flacco that we should expose. Also, Arians faced the Ravens twice a year from 07-11 when he was the Steelers OC. We have a coaching staff that is very familiar with Baltimore, and that can't do anything but help.
This is a homer pick to the max, but I don't care: Colts 23 Ravens 20
My other wildcard picks this weekend: Seahawks, Packers, Texans
Can you keep Ray Rice from running wild? If so, then Flacco will not beat you.

Colts 17
Coming off last week's performance against another playoff team playing for the #1 seed, I am less dubious about the Colts chances in this one. I've gone from a Colt's victory being a massive upset to it being a mild upset. In other words, we have a decent shot, but should by no means be considered the favorite, let alone 50/50 to win.
I'm optimistic it will be a good (competitive) game, but I just don't know that we're quite there yet. I'll say Baltimore 24 / Indy 17.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

I think there is a lot to be said about playoff experience. And the Ravens have a ton of it. The game really comes down to the QBs though. Which is why I want to pick the Colts, cause I trust Luck more than Flacco. But i think Joe gets it done this weekend.
I could see this going either way. Ravens have the experience and the home field advantage; Colts are in general just happy to be here. I think the game will come down to turnovers. If Luck takes care of the ball and we force a Flacco INT or two, I think we can win. I'd put the odds at about 65% that Baltimore takes it though. Playoff tested, proven coach, home field advantage, etc.
Smothered Chicken!
Yes, a Colts/Broncos matchup would be a WIN win, but I get your point
Oh No! Why would he post a photo of him wearing the Super Bowl winning cap before our first playoff match? Jinx of the highest order
For real. What kind of guy has a half million dollar painting in his bathroom instead of a lighthouse picture like a normal person. Sheesh...
Something doesn't look right in that photo.... I call FAKE!!! Shadows look way too enhanced. Did this come from a RAT BIRD site?

MMAC Presents Lar Lubovitch Workshop with Attila Csiki 4/5-9
Manhattan Movement & Arts Center presents a Lar Lubovitch workshop with Attila Csiki from Tuesday, April 5 to Saturday, April 9, 2011, from noon to 1:30pm from Tuesday - Friday and from 1:30 - 3pm on Saturday. The workshop will take place at the Manhattan Movement & Arts Center at 248 W. 60th Street, NYC (between Amsterdam and West End Avenues) in the Lincoln Center area. The cost for a single class is $25 and the cost for the entire workshop is $110. Registration is available at http://www.manhattanmovement.com/event/lar-lubovitch-repertory-workshop.
Attila Joey Csiki will instruct a Repertory workshop series of Lar Lubovitch's diverse choreography. Lar Lubovitch has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of the ten best choreographers in the world," and the company has been called a "National Treasure" by Variety. Lar's dances are renowned for their musicality, rhapsodic style and sophisticated formal structures. His radiant, highly technical choreography and deeply humanistic voice have been acclaimed throughout the world. This workshop will include repertory from 1978 through 2009.
Attila Joey Csiki trained with the National Ballet of Canada Academy. After receiving a scholarship to the School of American Ballet, Attila moved to New York at age 13. Attila's professional experience transitioned his career to Tokyo, Japan to work with some of the world's most recognized choreographers, including Jiri Kylian, Sir Peter Wright, William Forsythe, Nacho Duato, Mauro Bigonzetti, Antony Tudor and Kenneth McMillan. In Japan, Attila performed with such companies as Noism by Kanamori Jo, New National Ballet, K Ballet, Star Dancers Ballet and the Japan Ballet Association. In 2005 Attila moved to France to become a soloist with Du Capital Ballet of Toulouse.
After returning to the U.S., Attila danced as a guest artist with leading American companies such as The Joffrey Ballet, Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico, Dance Form Productions, Thomas/Ortiz Dance, and Rasta Thomas' Bad Boys of Dance. In 2008, Attila joined the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. In addition to his current season with Lar Lubovitch, Attila continues to guest perform internationally with such companies as Semper Opera Dresden, Verona Festival Italy, Honk Kong ballet and Shanghai Ballet. Currently Attila continues to teach Lubovitch's Repertory worldwide and is looking forward to his upcoming tour with the Lubovitch company.
Born in Chicago, Lar Lubovitch was educated at the University of Iowa and the Juilliard School in New York. His teachers at Juilliard included Antony Tudor, José Limón, Anna Sokolow and Martha Graham. He danced in numerous modern, ballet, jazz and ethnic companies before forming the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in 1968. Lubovitch made his Broadway debut in 1987 with the musical staging for the Stephen Sondheim/ James Lapine musical, Into the Woods, for which he received a Tony Awardnomination. In 1993 he choreographed the highly-praised dance sequences for the Broadway show The Red Shoes. The final ballet from that show joined the repertories of American Ballet Theatre and the National Ballet of Canada. For his work on that show, he received the 1993-94 Astaire Award from the Theater Development Fund. In 1996 he created the musical staging (and two new dances) for the Tony-Award-winning Broadway revival of The King and I. Most recently he devised the musical staging for Walt Disney's stage version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame in Berlin. In 2004 he was honored with the Elan Award for his outstanding choreography.
In 2007, to supplement the activities (creating, performing and teaching) of the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, he founded the Chicago Dancing Company, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to present a wide variety of excellent dance and build dance audiences in his native Chicago. Initiated by Chicago-born Lubovitch (and our Chicago-based dancer Jay Franke), the Chicago Dancing Festival (CDF) was launched in cooperation with Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) and the City of Chicago. The official premiere of the festival was a free one-night-only dance concert at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. More than 8,000 people attended the performance, which featured dancers from seven leading American companies. For 2008, CDF will be expanded to include three days of programming. For his visionary risk-taking in establishing the Festival, Lubovitch was named "2007 Chicagoan of the Year" by the Chicago Tribune.
About Manhattan Movement & Arts Center
Manhattan Movement & Arts Center was developed by Rose Caiola as the home of the Manhattan Youth Ballet, a graded, pre-professional ballet academy and performance company. Ms. Caiola, a former dancer and actress, founded the academy in the fall of 1994 as Studio Maestro at 48 W. 68th Street, and today serves as the youth ballet's executive artistic director.
The school is modeled after the European academies and adheres to the French School of classical ballet technique.

Europe's Ryder Cup-winning captain Jose Maria Olazabal compared the performance of Ian Poulter at Medinah to that of his late countryman Seve Ballesteros.
Olazabal led Europe to a remarkable comeback from 10-4 down to beat the United States on a thrilling final day. Poulter was one of Olazabal's two wild card choices for the competition and repaid the faith shown in him by remaining unbeaten over the course of the weekend.
"For whatever reason this event for him means so much, he thrives in it and I think it brings the best (out) of him on the golf course," said Olazabal, who ruled himself out of captaining the team in future Ryder Cups. "In a way he reminds me a bit of Seve in that regard, that intensity, that focus, that will to win the point is very close to Seve."
Poulter birdied the last five holes of his fourballs match with Rory McIlroy against Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson to earn a vital point. Olazabal selected the 36-year-old's birdie putt on the 18th which clinched that match as his favourite of the tournament.
"The putt Poulter made at the 18th on Saturday was huge. If that didn't happen we wouldn't have had a chance going into the final day," he said. "I was pretty much 99 per cent confident that the ball will go in the hole."
The European team wore navy and white in a tribute to Ballesteros, who captained the team to Ryder Cup glory in 1997, and Olazabal feels Poulter could achieve the same feat in the future.
"Well if he is the captain that is obviously a great thing," he said. "He will bring the passion of the Ryder Cup, but he will need another 12 players like him and that is hard to find. Obviously he will be a wonderful captain for sure."
Poulter may be a future Ryder Cup captain, but Olazabal, 46, will not be taking control when the tournament returns in two years at Gleneagles or beyond.
When asked if he would like to captain Europe again, he said: "Yes, in a way, but I can assure you that is going to be a no. Period. I think nowadays, first of all it is a lot of work and it takes a lot of you during the stretch of time that you are named captain to the playing of the Ryder Cup.
"On top of that there are a lot of players who should have the opportunity to be in my spot and the Ryder Cup is played only once every two years."

Anyone care to view it? I put alot of thought and work into it. Took me over an hour.
1 Milwaukee - Andrew Bogut
Personally, I think Bogut is alot better than people are giving him credit. It seems like they are finding holes in his game just to justify giving Marvin Williams that number 1 spot. While it's a nice thought, it's a stupid one. Bogut is a very, very talented big man, and it's not like nice big men are a dime a dozen. After some solid workouts, Bogut looks to be the first name called on draft day.
2 Atlanta - Marvin Williams
Atlanta scouts have had the easiest scouting job in the league. They take which ever out of the big two that Milwaukee doesn't. It's simple. They'll take Williams. The problem is figuring out what to do with Al Harrington. Williams is most likely gunna play 4 for the Hawks. This gives the Hawks a slew of forwards, and someone is gunna have to go, and I doubt they'll give up Josh Smith or Josh Childress. Look for the Hawks to deal Harrington, possibly as early as draft night.
3 Portland - Gerald Green
Portland will most likely be shipping this pick to either Los Angeles, Utah, or Charlotte. It seems most concievable however, that they'll send it to Utah, where GM Mike Kupchak has been drooling over the high school phenom. I look for the Lakers to do whatever it takes to land this pick. Kobe II?
4 New Orleans - Chris Paul
This pick is actually pretty hard to figure out. New Orleans already has a few decent pg and it really isn't their problem area. However, Paul is arguably the best pg in the draft and would make a formidable duo with J.R. Smith, so it's not to far fetched that they'll bite on Paul and nab him. Also, don't be surprised if Atlanta is in talks to grab this pick in exchange for Al Harrington and maybe some luggage. Even if Atlanta gets ahold of this pick, Chris Paul will be the selection.
5 Charlotte - Deron Williams
The Bobcats have been raiving over Deron Williams. I predict that Williams will be available at this point in the draft. If New Orleans doesn't take Williams, then the Bobcats would openly accept Chris Paul, but Paul slipping this far is to far fetched to believe. Even though the Bobcats have been trying to move up in the draft, I believe this is the guy they really want.
6 Utah - Raymond Felton
The Jazz really need a pg out of this draft. They need that and a big man, so I think it's between Raymond Felton and Fran Vazquez. I think Felton has more upside and is what the Jazz should look for at the pg position. The Jazz have also been trying to move up to the 3rd spot in the draft. If they were able to do this, then I'd see them taking Paul. But at 6, can't go wrong with Felton.
7 Toronto - Danny Granger
This, to me atleast, is a no brainer for Toronto. Granger has alot of upside and is NBA ready. He'll be a bright spot in what looks like a grey future for the Raptors. He's no franchise player, but he'll probably be the best thing to happen to them in years. I do see an All-Star player in him, but one that feeds off of another good player. Where is that other good player? Not on this roster. Maybe next year's lottery will produce the player that Toronto needs.
8 New York - Channing Frye
Word has it that Isiah Thomas gets serious erections when watching Frye play. Word even has it that Thomas has promised to draft Frye at 8. Thomas isn't the keen mind playing guy that alot of GM's try to be, so I really do believe that they'll take Frye at 8.
9 Golden State - Fran Vazquez
This is a tough selection to predict because the Warriors have been so quiet. They need a big man in the worst way, and while Vazquez is smaller than most centers, he's also more talented than most centers. I think he's a good pick for the Warriors. They will also look at Andrew Bynum and Martynas Andriuskevicius, but Vazquez blows both of them away.
10 Los Angeles Lakers - Martell Webster
Remember the trade scenario with the Blazers taking Gerald Green? Well if that happens, then look for the Blazers to get this pick, and select the other high school phenom, who they have brought in for work outs, Martell Webster. If this pick doesn't go the Blazers, then look for the Lakers to give attention to Jarret Jack.
11 Orlando - Sean May
That Magic are supposedly really high on Sean May. They said that if he's on the board when they pick, they'll take him. They've said that he and Howard may play the same position, but have the skills to really play well together. This is either them speaking their minds, or them trying to make a team drafting behind them bite on this. I think it's the first one. Look for May to play in Orlando next season, and possibly crack the starting lineup with Howard playing center.
12 Los Angeles Clippers - Joey Graham
The Clippers are facing a reality that they may not be able to re-sign Bobby Simmons. If this is a reality they face, then they should start getting ready for next season. They need a point guard, and while Jarret Jack might get looks here, I think they'll take the lottery sleeper, Joey Graham. Graham will fall here, I predict.
13 Charlotte - Antoine Wright
I think Wright will be a good fit for the Bobcats. They'll probably look around some more, but Wright will be their final selection. Wright will probably start for them as well. Him and Deron Williams will make a nice back court for the Bobcats, as they will probably form the most athletic back court around, if not that, then one of the top ones. Should be fun to watch.
14 Minnesota - Martynas Andriuskevicius
Andriuskevicius was suppose to drop out of the draft, but didn't. Most mocks don't even have him in their anymore, but here he is. Andriuskevicius will fall here, where the Mavs will use the Sabonis product as his new best friend. The both of them will be perhaps the best ball handeling 4-5 combo the league has seen. While this pick would be a nice pick, it won't change the T-Wolves team around. Andriuskevicius isn't the rough tough center the Wolves need, but he's the best one on the board when they choose.
15 New Jersey - Hakeem Warrick
I think Warrick's athleticism will make him a good choice here. He'll be able to catch passes from Kidd for thuderous dunks and allow the Nets to continue running their kind of plays. Warrick will probably even be a starter here and help the Nets regain some inside presence. Good fit here.
16 Toronto - Johan Petro
The Raptors will use this pick for a big man. Should they take Vazquez with their earlier pick, then this pick would be used on Charlie Villanueva. However, I think it'll fall like this. The Raptors lack a real quality center and Johan Petro will probably be their next target in their quest to fill that selection. Petro is big, strong, and he'll make a nice addition to their team.
17 Indiana - Francisco Garcia
The Pacers need someone that can hit from 3, and handle the rock. Garcia can do both. While the Pacers could also use another big man, they'll gladly take what they can get. Garcia would be a nice fit for them due to his similarities to Reggie Miller on the court. He should be around when they choose, and he'll be a nice selection at that. If they don't take Garcia, look for them to look at Ukic, McCants, and Winston. They also could deal this pick away.
18 Boston - Roko Ukic
I think Ukic will land here, in Boston. Boston already has Gary Payton and Marcus Banks, but they'll bite on Ukic when he slips to them. They are looking to get younger and more athletic, and at this point in the draft, this is where they should go. Ukic will definetly be a bench player for them, but could compete with Banks for starting honors once Payton moves on.
19 Memphis - Charlie Villanueva
It's hard to find a place for Villanueva that makes alot of sense. However, I think he'll slip pretty far, all the way to 19th. Memphis will take him with glee. They are already looking to get rid of a few players, and I believe this will clear up room for them to take Villanueva right here.
20 Denver - Rashad McCants
The Nuggets come into this draft obviously needing a shooting guard, or two. I think they'll bite on McCants who will be the only true 2 left on the board. They'll take him here, and then with their other pick.....
21 Phoenix - Yaroslav Korolev
Korolev will slip pretty far. Some people have had him projected as a lottery pick, but I think the European crop this year is vastly overrated and come lottery time, they'll slide pretty far down. Korolev will probably fall down here, but will be a good pick for the Suns. He's athletic and fast, a good ball handeler, a really complete player that will be a nice addition to the Phoenix Suns basketball team and their run-run-run Euro style.
22 Denver - Julius Hodge
With their other pick, the Nuggets will select Hodge. Why take one when you can have two right? I think they'll take two 2 guard with their two first round picks because both of these guys have their flaws. McCants is a solid player that has a questionable background, and while he can be out of control, Hodge is pretty much a controlled player. I think banking in on both of these guys will turn Denver's weakness into a major strength. Hodge can also spend time backing up Carmelo Anthony as well.
23 Sacramento - Ike Diogu
Diogu had some great reviews for his draft camps. But the original knock on him was his heighth, and while some would love to see him taken earlier, he'll slip pretty far. Sacramento will benefit this. I think the Kings will take him with their pick. He'll be a nice player off their bench behind Kenny Thomas.
24 Houston - Jarret Jack
Another one of the surprises from draft night, I predict, will be how far Jack will slip. Jack is one of those guys that many teams, practically all of them, will think about taking, and then take someone else. This will work to Houston's advantage. They'll nab Jack on the spot. He'll be a starter for them as well.
25 Seattle - Chris Taft
Seattle will take the stock dropping Taft. Taft had some poor workouts, but with the time to wait for his game to develope, the Sonics will bite. I think they'll take Taft with the intention of letting most of their free agents, including Reggie Evans, go.
26 Detroit - Mickaël Gelabale
Detroit will take Gelabale here. He plays outstanding defense and so you understand why I think he'll fit in well for Detroit. Also, he is a good offensive force as well. If he's available when Detroit selects, he'll be gone like that.
27 Utah - Randolph Morris
Utah needs a big man, and with them selecting Felton with their earlier pick, I predict they'll pick up big man, Randolph Morris. They need all the size they can get, and Morris is the best big man left on the board at 27.
28 San Antonio - David Lee
The Spurs will make another educated draft pick, but unlike most of their picks, this one will be American. Lee fits the description for Spurs basketball and I predict they'll pick him up here. He'll start out just a bench player, but he'll soon find his way into the rotation for the Spurs. Just watch.
29 Miami - Ersan Ilyasova
Ilyasova has the potential to be a lottery pick, but with an injured leg, he'll slip. He'll be a great pick by Miami, who will be very rewarded by this kid. Scouts have been all over him for two years now, and if he's still in the draft, which I think he is, then he'll go here.
30 New York - Wayne Simien
It'll be a tough choice between Bynum and Simien, but it's a no brainer who is more NBA ready. The Knicks will take Simien and send the foolish Bynum into the unprotected second round. Simien will make the Knicks look like geniuses for stealing him, when in fact, he'll be a tragedy of a deep draft.

Artest to Undergo Surgery on Thumb
By Conrad Brunner
Indianapolis, Feb. 19, 2003
Though the Pacers made no external moves before the NBAs Trade Deadline passed Thursday afternoon, internal shuffling was required when it was learned Ron Artest was headed to New York to undergo surgery to repair a ligament tear in his left thumb. The surgery, scheduled for today, was to be performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson.
There is no timetable for Artests return.
Coach Rick Carlisle said Sixth Man Al Harrington would move into the starting lineup at small forward, with Austin Croshere and Jonathan Bender moving into bigger roles with the second unit.
"The good news is its not his shooting hand. The bad news is its a surgery, Carlisle said. Surgeries take a while to recover from. We may know more after the procedure. We're hopeful that he can come back quickly, but we don't want to speculate. I'm not a medical guy and sometimes you don't know until they get in there and take a look at it and make the repair. . . . We may have a better idea of a timetable in a day or two."
The thumb has bothered Artest since he got it tangled in Richard Jeffersons jersey late in the first half of a Jan. 17 game in New Jersey. Originally diagnosed as a sprain, Artest played with his left hand in various forms of taped support. He aggravated the injury against New Orleans on Tuesday night when he collided with Jamal Mashburn, then fell to the floor.
We knew he was talking about it for a while, so it wasnt a real surprise, said Jermaine ONeal. Were fortunate to have a team like we have, with a guy like Al Harrington that can fill it up in a big way. He pretty much does what Ron does, and he gets a great opportunity now. And Jonathan Bender and Austin Croshere get opportunities to play. But we feel like we can win. The team feels like they can win without me, without Ron, without Al, without Reggie. Weve got guys that can step in and fill it up.
Were still planning on keeping things together. Sometimes teams play better when they get their backs against the wall. Weve responded when Ron or Al hasnt played, so we know what we have to do collectively and individually step it up. I think everybody knows were going to have to step it up, but were not worried. Thats the key message weve got to send to our fans, that were not worried. We still feel like we can accomplish our goals. Weve got to just hold the fort till hes able to get back.
The Pacers are 3-0 without Artest this season, and 5-1 with Harrington in the starting lineup. Harrington, who has averaged 14.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 37.0 minutes in six starts, has been playing at less than 100 percent with lingering pain from a bone bruise in his knee. But he said it wouldnt hold him back.
My knees bothering me, but Im just going to play through it, he said. As long as I can walk, I can play. I know theres going to be some nights when Im going to be down but Im going to have to find it within myself to push it.
While the starting lineup wont lack for offensive punch with Harrington, Artests absence will be felt the greatest on defense. The second unit, meanwhile, faces the challenge of replacing Harringtons consistent scoring hes third on the team at 13.4 points per game.
"We'll play a slightly different game with Al out there as opposed to Ron, said Carlisle. But we're not going to re-invent our team 54 games into the season. That's a reality that we're all aware of. We'll try to go to Al in the post as often as we can. He's proven he can step back and hit the mid-range jump shot. There are a lot of things we can still do even though we don't have Ron out there.
"It'll change our complexion defensively, not having a guy like Ron, who is a first-team All-Defensive player and maybe a Defensive Player of the Year guy. But we have a system for playing team defense and it's not ever one man's responsibility to stop one guy. Our system is based upon help, whether it's Al or whether it's Bender or it's a guy like Freddie Jones playing the three-spot, they're going to have a tough job guarding people, but we're going to have help for them if we need it."
Though the length of Artests absence is uncertain, it is assumed hell be placed on the injured list prior to Friday nights game in Washington. That would mean a minimum absence of five games, likely more. For the interim, the Pacers will get a chance to draw from what they believe is one of the deepest talent pools in the league.
While Ron is a great asset to our team, I dont think its going to hurt us as much as it would hurt other teams that dont have the same depth, said Croshere. Its up to a number of guys to step up. Its a letdown but you look at it as a challenge. For someone like myself, or Jonathan, or Al, its an opportunity to prove this team wont skip a beat. Its easier said than done, but thats the goal.
President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said Artests absence did not alter the franchises conservative approach toward the trade deadline. He said hed prefer to withhold final judgment on the roster until he can evaluate the players during the postseason.
Me and Donnie (Walsh) talked about it when I first came in: Id like to watch it for a year, then go from there, Bird said. I like our team. Even though were losing Ronnie for a while, I still like our team. I know weve got a lot of talent here. Somebodys just got to step up.

Williams has decisions to make for Nats bench
JUPITER, Fla. -- As camp hits the stretch run, the Nationals have yet to figure out how their bench will be constructed. Outfielders Scott Hairston and Nate McLouth and catcher Jose Lobaton are expected to be part of the bench.
Manager Matt Williams has to figure out at least two other players, and they will probably come from the infield. Jamey Carroll and possibly Danny Espinosa could be part of the bench.
The Nationals want their bench to be better than last year. Washington's reserves were 44-for-212 (.208), with seven home runs and 17 RBIs as pinch-hitters in 2013.
"In order to be a World Series-caliber team, the team must have a strong bench throughout the year," Hairston said.
Hairston, who joined the team in the second half last year, felt that Washington's bench players "didn't get as much reps as they needed to stay fresh.
"Sometimes, when you let five or six days go by without seeing live pitching and then you try to get back in there, it's almost kind of like starting over. When you have the type of talent that we have -- the starting eight -- it's sometimes hard to take them out of the lineup and use your bench."

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has added the names of two dozen men to the publicly released list of priests and brothers alleged to have molested children.
The names were in a two-page report posted on the archdiocesan website last month without fanfare at the same time that 12,000 pages of internal records were posted, according to BishopAccountability.org, a nonprofit group that tracks public release of clergy abuse documents.
BishopAccountability.org President Terry McKiernan sent a letter to Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez this week saying it is essential to make public the nature of the allegations "because some of them may still pose a danger to children in Los Angeles, elsewhere in the United States, and in other countries."
The report said none of the men currently have ministries in the archdiocese. Among them, five have died, three have been defrocked, three are on inactive leave, one was excommunicated and one was suspended.
Details of the allegations against the men, such as the dates they were made, were not released.
The lack of information was criticized by McKiernan, who said he only discovered the document during a recent Google search.
"The terrible mess in the Catholic church happened because information was hidden and controlled, and that attitude is very clearly wrong," McKiernan told the Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/YYK9A1 ).
The archdiocese posted more than 120 confidential priest files online at the end of January, less than an hour after a Los Angeles judge ordered it to release the papers without redacting the names of members of the church hierarchy who made key decisions about how to handle priests accused of molestation.
The archdiocese agreed to the release as part of a $660 million settlement with abuse victims in 2007. Attorneys for individual priests fought for five years to prevent the papers from being made public, and the archdiocese tried to blot out large sections, including the names of hierarchy involved in decision making.
The Associated Press and the Times fought successfully to have the names of top church officials made public.
The church wasn't trying to bury the list amid the mass of released documents and, in fact, had posted it for about a month on its website in 2008, said J. Michael Hennigan, a lawyer for the archdiocese.
The list was located and re-scanned for posting online as part of the massive release of documents, he said.
"It's making something that was a voluntary disclosure into a cover-up. It's just not true," Hennigan said.
Law enforcement agencies were notified about the men years ago although the men were never sued or criminally charged, he said.

The first cemetery of Saint Paul's Church in Baltimore was located at Sollers Road & North Point Road. The organized in 1692 and this churchyard is the oldest cemetery that is known to have existed in Baltimore. Those remains were moved ca. 1760 to Saint Paul's Burial Ground which surrounded the original church at Charles Street and Jones Falls Bluffs which stood from 1739 to 1817. That building was replaced by another which burned in 1854 and was later replaced by the present building which fills that entire property. The present cemetery located on Redwood Street (once German Street). All remains were moved to this cemetery and when Martin Luther Boulevard was constructed one end of this cemetery was lost and the remains and markers were moved within the remaining walled cemetery that sits surrounded by the University of Maryland Medical campus. The cemetery is locked and open by appointment and most Saturdays, 11 a.m. to dusk, weather permitting.

DIRECTORS of the Ross Valley Sanitary District have a big job to do. They are under a state order to fix their dilapidated sewer lines.
The state is being fairly patient, given the disruptive politics of the district — not the least of which included the loss of more than $300,000 in a housing loan to a general manager, arrested recently on suspicion of embezzlement of public funds and money laundering.
So the recent power struggle over who is going to be the board's president has to worry observers, whether its outcome was a step forward or a step backward.
At last month's board meeting, on a 3-2 vote, Director Mary Sylla was elected president over Director Frank Egger, who had been serving as president and sought re-election.
Egger deserves credit for bringing good-government practices and neighborly cooperation back to the running of the district. He first joined the board as an appointee, but as a former Fairfax mayor he saw procedures and frayed community relations that he knew were not right.
Egger is no shrinking violet, and when he seeks to make changes he doesn't tiptoe. His efforts likely alienated veteran directors Pat Guasco and Dr. Peter Sullivan, both of whom supported Sylla.
The irony is that Guasco and Sullivan were part of the board majority that Sylla ran against when she was elected, ousting the board's president.
Her election with their support is politically intriguing. However, there is no split in their focus on fixing the sewers; the difference was the cost, politics and mistakes in getting that job done.
At the same time, Egger deserves a great deal of credit for bringing his local know-how to the management and direction of the district. His leadership has been vital in turning that ship out of troubled shoals.
He knew the right questions to ask, and he wasn't shy about asking them.
How a 3-2 vote affects the board's progress in fixing its broken sewer lines remains to be seen.
The district's own testing of its sewer lines has shown ample evidence of broken, cracked and, in some cases, missing pipe. The state anti-pollution laws require those pipes to be repaired.
The overriding purpose of the district, after all, is to protect public health and prevent pollution.
The district board, on another 3-2 vote, agreed to issue more than $19 million in bonds for fixing the sewer pipes and to refinance its debt on its San Rafael headquarters.
Those bonds are going to require a rate increase, probably next year.
Ratepayers' confidence in the board and its management of their investment will be important in gaining support for the increase. No one favors pollution, but ratepayers want to feel confident that their money is not being wasted — again.
Sylla, as the board's president, faces the challenge of building a strong consensus while moving forward in cleaning up the district's sewer lines.

Keighley 13, York 24
Keighley finished a disappointing SSE Yorkshire Division One season with a re-arranged fixture against visitors York.
The game started well for the home team, forward pressure on the York line giving Leigh Sugden the chance to drive over, and a little later Ollie Mitchell added to the score with a penalty.
Then York started putting their game together and were rewarded with a penalty for scrum half Matty Hargreaves.
Using their big forwards to full advantage, the visitors forced their way over the line with a try or No 8 Andy Kay, converted by Hargreaves.
Keighley replied with a fine break by Sam Walker, finished off by his wing partner Sam Blakeley, but the second half was a very much an end-of-season affair, although it was competitive throughout.
The hosts missed three relatively easy penalties, and chose to try different combinations of players, which weakened their game somewhat.
York took full advantage with tries from centre G Davies and replacement back Campbell Thompson, both converted by Hargreaves.
