|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|LaRoche '80
|Years at Yale:
|25th Season
The 2017 season was John Stuper's 25th as the head coach of baseball at Yale. He and the Bulldogs celebrated the silver anniversary in style with a second straight Red Rolfe Division title, an Ivy League Championship and the school's second 30-win season. Stuper, the 2017 Ivy League Coach of the Year, had eight of his players earn All-Ivy League honors.
His 488 career wins (246 in Ivy League play) are the most for any Yale baseball coach in its 150-year history. He surpassed the legendary Ethan Allen for that honor in 2009. Stuper reached the 100-win mark faster than any coach in program history and oversaw the best four-year period in program history from 1993-96 (104-68).
In 2016, Stuper led the Bulldogs to the Rolfe Division title and had six players earn All-Ivy honors, including righthander Scott Politz, who was named a freshman All-American. The program also had an academic All-American in outfielder Nate Adams.
The 13th head coach of Yale baseball, Stuper's teams have six first-place finishes in the Rolfe Division and three Ivy League championships. His first squad, in 1993, won a school-record 33 games, earned an NCAA Regional appearance, and set numerous school records, including 160 stolen bases in 44 games. He earned 1993 New England Division I Coach of the Year and Northeast Region Division I Coach of the Year honors. The Bulldogs won the Ivy League championship in each of his first two seasons.
Stuper earned the 400th victory of his coaching career with a 5-2 decision in the second game of a doubleheader at Harvard on April 14, 2013. That day four Yale pitchers combined to strike out 13 Crimson batters, the perfect way for a former MLB pitcher to earn a milestone coaching victory.
"I try to tailor my offensive game plan to my talent. I want to run. I like to steal bases because it disrupts things," Stuper said. Yale baserunners have stolen more than 1,300 bases in his tenure.
Stuper has seen 42 of his players sign professional contracts. Most recently, righthander Chasen Ford was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 27th round of the 2016 draft and began his professional career this past summer. Pitcher Rob Cerfolio was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2013 MLB Draft, but returned to Yale for his final season in 2014. Cerfolio's selection represented the ninth straight year that a Yale player was selected, the longest consecutive stretch of draft selections by any school in the Ivy League at the time.
Not surprisingly, some of Stuper's top pupils have been pitchers. Brandon Josselyn, the 2009 Ivy League Pitcher of the Year (6th player to earn that distinction under Stuper), was drafted in June 2009 by the Seattle Mariners. Left-handed pitcher Craig Breslow, the captain of Yale's 2002 squad, has spent 11 seasons on a Major League roster.
Stuper has also coached two All-Americans while at Yale, including catcher Ryan Lavarnway, the 2007 NCAA batting and slugging percentage champion. Lavarnway was drafted in the sixth round of the 2008 MLB amateur draft by the Boston Red Sox.
"I want my team to be difficult to play against," said the Yale mentor who was managed by Whitey Herzog and Pete Rose in the big leagues. Not coincidentally, he lists them as two of his biggest influences.
"I watched how they ran a game. Their knowledge of the game, work ethic and preparation were second to none, especially Whitey with his aggressive style. We want to make things happen, not wait for things to happen. Having a versatile team will give us the ability to score runs in a lot of different ways."
Stuper pitched in the major leagues for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds from 1982-85, appearing in a total of 111 games. He posted a 32-28 overall record with a 3.96 earned run average. His most memorable performance came with the Cardinals in the sixth game of the 1982 World Series. With St. Louis trailing the Milwaukee Brewers three games to two in the best-of-seven series, the right-hander helped the Cardinals even the series with a 13-1 complete-game, four-hit victory. St. Louis went on to win the Series the following day. Sports Illustrated listed his World Series performance among the 10 best by a rookie pitcher in the history of post-season play.
The only two-time all-conference baseball and basketball player at Butler County Community College (1976-77), Stuper fashioned a 34-3 collegiate record. He also helped Point Park (Pa.) College to the NAIA World Series in 1978 while earning NAIA All-America honors.
Stuper, who received his bachelor's degree from LaRoche College and his master's degree in English at Slippery Rock University in 1989, was head coach at Butler until March 1991, when he returned to the Cardinals as a minor league pitching instructor. He remained with the Cardinals until taking over the Bulldogs' clubhouse in 1993.
He and his wife, Pam, Yale's Caroline Ruth Thompson '02 Head Coach of Field Hockey, reside in Hamden.

I am not suggesting anyone purposely caused the fire to the Depot but it does seem odd that the depot burned down both times during a time that seems like a lull in business. Was the previous fire determined a accident and if so why where there no working systems in place to warn, prevent , or reduce the likelyhood of a fire like this from occuring again? What are the odds of this type of thing happening again?
I just cannot help but wondering?
I don't have the intention of spreading or starting rumors or anything of the sort, but I believe that The Depot burning down a second time is not a mere coincidence, but I believe it was arson. I think someone, for whatever reason, had motivation to burn down The Depot. Given the fact that The Depot is/was half bar, I think it is entirely possible that an intoxicated individual could have done it. The same person could have been responsible for the fire that started in Cage's as well. It's plausible.

'Operation We Care' packages set for shipment
WORCESTER COUNTY — The first donations are being accepted for Operation We Care, the non-profit grass-roots effort started and coordinated by Jeff Merritt and his wife, along with a philanthropic group of 36 residents, to provide care packages for Delmarva military members serving overseas. The first of two shipments this year will be mailed out mid-May.
Merritt said Tuesday that the 501(c) (3) organization has 24 drop-off locations on the peninsula. In this area, drop off sites are the Berlin library, OC Floor Gallery, all First Shore Federal Savings & Loan Bank branches, Harley Davidson of Seaford, Del., and Minuteman Press of Salisbury.
In downtown Berlin, Operation We Care will commence Friday at The Church Mouse during the May Day Play Day and Second Friday events.
Merritt said he and his wife started the program in 2007 when they realized there was no organized effort to ship provisions to service members from the local area and they wanted to show their support. The organization collects donations, snack bars, toiletries or cash donations, which will be used to prepare and pay care packages to troops from Maryland and Delaware serving in Afghanistan. After starting the care package drives with three-dozen volunteers, Merritt said his team has grown to more than 200.
According to Merritt, "The response from business, civic and service organizations has just been amazing." He said people of the area are constantly stepping up to help, a situation that he said reminds him to be thankful he lives on the Eastern Shore.
For example, because of the Chesapeake Bay Girl Scout Council's donation of 250 cases of cookies, "Every package gets a box," Merritt said. Another 25 cases go to the soldiers convalescing at Walter Reed, he added.
Merritt said the most coveted items are Chef Boyardee pasta in pop-top cans, bar soap, shampoo and body wash, granola bars, hot chocolate packets, non-aerosol deodorant, instant oatmeal packets, microwave popcorn, Ramen noodles (wrapped brick-shaped type, not noodles in a cup), tea bags and zipper seal plastic bags to help prevent cross-contamination.
According to Merritt, the goal this year is to ship 500 care packages in the two shipments made in mid-May for Armed Forces Day and in November for Veterans Day. The cost of shipping each package is $14.85, he said. The organization spent $12,000 on shipping last year, and the cash donations go towards that cost, he said.
On the Web site, organizers invited school teachers who are looking for class projects to get students involved in the effort by arranging to color the inside of the boxes with supportive messages of thanks and appreciation.
Individuals who know of a service person who would appreciate receiving a care package can visit the Web site at OperationWeCare.org, contact the organization by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by telephone at 410-713-8940.

(UL) Household Approval The amazing benefits of juicing starts with the body quickly absorbing larger amount of nutrients, it is an easy way to get beneficial enzymes, which are primarily found in raw foods, into the body. Enzymes in fresh fruits and vegetables have the vital role of converting food into body tissue and energy. Enzymes are also involved in metabolism, so one of the more valuable health benefits of juicing is that it can increase metabolic rate. Juicing also ensures that the body is getting sufficient amounts of phytonutrients, substances in plants that are considered among the most powerful ways to fight disease. In addition, antioxidants and other immune enhancing properties are concentrated in juices. Juicing can therefore help to accelerate recovery from illness and with specific combinations of fruits or vegetables can target particular conditions and improve or alleviate symptoms. To find a company dedicated to promoting healthy living by providing the equipment you need to eat and drink to good health, look no further than Omega. For years we have proudly supplied the world with a complete line of juicers, food processors, blenders, granita machines, drink dispensers, and other equipment to prepare food and beverages just the way you want them. Their products are designed tough for commercial use, yet elegant enough to feature prominently in any kitchen. At Omega they understand the challenges of leading a healthy lifestyle, and our products strive to meet those challenges head on. Easy to use, easy to clean, and built to endure, that's an Omega. Only Omega Juicers proudly offers all styles of juicing equipment from one manufacturer offering One Stop Shopping For All Your Juicing Needs. Centrifugal Style - A centrifuge holds the pulp inside the basket in order to continue to spin the pulp and extract juice. Centrifugal juicers are highly efficient and the easiest to clean. Perfect for small families and individuals. Pulp Ejection Style - A pulp ejector will eject the pulp into a separate container. Great for higher volume while maintaining high efficiency. Masticating Style - A Masticating Juicer is a low-speed unit that can juice the same items as Centrifugal and Pulp Ejection while also having the ability to juice wheatgrass and leafy greens. Our masticating units also have non-juicing functions. Pasta extrusion, mincing, grinding and nutter butters.Citrus Style - Their Citrus Juicers are designed for citrus only and not for fruits and vegetables. Durable enough to handle everyday juicing of oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. Omega is also the only company to offer units that are both "Household & Commercially Approved" by Underwriters Laboratories. So you can have a juicer in your kitchen that could also be in the juice bar down the street. The durability of Omega Juicers is why Omega offers 15 year warranties. A versatile juicer that can be stylish enough for the home and powerful for the workplace. DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS JUICE RECIPESWhen juicing combinations of fruits and vegetables, it is recommended that you alternate the various fruits and vegetables. Carrot-Celery Juice – Mix two parts carrot to one part celery. Add a small wedge of lemon for added flavor. Carrot-Celery-Apple Juice – Mix equal amounts of carrot, celery and apple. Carrot-Cabbage Juice – Mix three parts carrot to one part cabbage. Carrot-Cucumber-Beet Juice – Combine five parts carrot, two parts cucumber, and one part beet. Or, one cucumber peeled, one red beet and the remainder carrot. Carrot-Celery-Parsley Juice – Combine four parts carrot, three parts celery and one part parsley. IMPORTANT: One part of most leafy green vegetables can be substituted for the parsley. Carrot-Parsley Juice – Combine seven parts of carrot to one part parsley. Apple-Carrot-Beet Juice – Add a small wedge of beet to equal parts of apple and carrot. Carrot-Cucumber Juice – Combine four parts carrot to one part cucumber. Apple-Beet Juice – Combine five parts apple to one part beet. Apple-Grape – Combine equal parts apple and grape, alternating grapes and apples. Apple Lemonade – Very small wedge of lemon with peel and about four apples (mixed variety). Pear Lemonade – Small wedge of lemon with peel and any type of pear. Orange-Grapefruit-Lemon Juice – Combine four parts orange, four parts grapefruit and one part lemon. The orange and grapefruit must first be peeled. Apple-Orange Juice – Combine equal parts of apple and orange. Melon Delight – Watermelon, seed and even the rind if it's clean. Cantaloupe and Honeydew – Combine in equal parts. Peel these before juicing as the outside is difficult to clean. Carrot-Apple-Spinach Juice – Combine eight parts carrot, six parts apple and two parts spinach. Carrot-Lettuce-Celery Juice – Combine equal parts of carrot, lettuce and celery. Carrot-Beet-Spinach Juice – Combine five parts carrot, three parts spinach and one part beet. USES OF PULPPulp has a variety of uses, including flavoring in soups, cakes and salads, as compost in gardens and plants, feed for small pets, and even baby food (after mixing the remaining pulp with juice/water to dilute).

Caro's SP100 Report
The ISA SP-100 standards committee plans to hold a demonstration of ISA100 at the Conference and Expo to be held in Houston on October 2-4. This, to stress the readiness of the networking technology and the cooperation among the potential suppliers.
ISA100 Meets in Canada
The ISA SP-100 standards committee met for three days following ISA's Wireless Summit held in Vancouver, B.C. Several major goals for the standard, to be named ISA100, have been met, with the prospect of the first SP-100 committee ballot scheduled to be following this year's ISA Conference and Expo to be held in Houston on October 2-4. The committee is planning to hold a demonstration of ISA100 at this event to stress the readiness of the networking technology and the cooperation among the potential suppliers, most of which are participating in the demo.
The committee has now agreed upon all of the major sections of the Principles of Operation, an overview of the protocol describing how each layer will accomplish its goals. A more detailed version of this document, called the Functional Description, is already completed. It will serve as the framework for the ISA100 standard itself. Each of the layers now appears to be defined completely using as much standard technology as possible.
The lowest layer, the PHY/MAC, is based on the use of IEEE 802.15.4:2006 chips that are also used for both WirelessHART and ZigBee. This layer was chosen because these chips are designed for use in very low-power, battery-operated networks and have the speed and range required for industrial wireless networks. ISA100 only uses the 2.4 GHz ISM (industrial, scientific, and medical) band supported by these chips, which are available at low cost from several silicon suppliers. The MAC layer is the portion of the data link layer (DLL) that is necessary to support these chips.
The upper portion of the data link layer (UDLL) immediately above the PHY/MAC has been designed by this committee for the channel-hopping that will be needed to provide frequency diversity necessary to overcome the multipath reflections expected in processing areas often referred to as "canyons of steel." The UDLL also has used the 16 channels that were defined by IEEE 802.15.4, so that ISA100 will avoid interference with WiFi or IEEE 802.11, which will often be used in manufacturing areas for both supervisory and other data networks.
One of the most far-reaching decisions reached at the Vancouver meeting was the selection of an Internet draft standard, 6LoWPAN, as the network-layer protocol. This forward-thinking technology is based on Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), but in a reduced form suitable for low-power networks. The significance of this choice is that ISA100 will be able to communicate with common IP-based protocols such as UDP, SMTP and FTP. For example, Foundation Fieldbus HSE is based on the use of UDP.
6LoWPAN at the network layer allows the use of a simple, well-defined protocol, RDP, at the transport layer. RDP (reliable data protocol) is also an Internet standard (RFC 1151) last updated in 1990. RDP is simple subset of TCP, the most common transport layer protocol. In this case, simplicity means not implementing those features of TCP that are useful only on large, high-speed networks, such as the Internet. Using existing, but simple Internet protocols at the network and transport layers is very important to ISA100, since that will enable many future applications, such as location of a web server in wireless field devices, as wireless and battery technologies advance. The committee evaluated both 6LoWPAN and RDP to be sure that they did not introduce excess overhead to ISA100 messages. ISA100 does not implement either the session or presentation layers of the ISO seven-layer data communications model.
The Application layer remains as an object-oriented data transfer mechanism using EDDL to make it compatible with Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, HART and OPC. Each of these consortiums supports EDDL and is expected to create interfaces to the ISA100 application layer. So far, only the Fieldbus Foundation has made a formal announcement that it will support ISA100. Additionally, a full data encapsulation protocol has been defined to tunnel messages between wireless field devices and their host systems that do not use EDDL. Tunneling will be used to allow Modbus, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP and other such common wired industrial network protocols access to the wireless network.
Network security is being addressed for both the process of forming the network (joining) and for integrity of the data being transferred. Both operations will be encrypted to assure that only authorized and properly configured units are admitted to the field network, and that data exchanges will be protected from interception. Details of the security protocols are still being worked out, but will use well-accepted practices defined in the ISA99 draft standard.
The issue of WirelessHART continues to be debated at these meetings. Users have consistently indicated their dissatisfaction with the fact that WirelessHART and ISA100 will be different and not interoperable. Previously, the users were assured that each network, both operating at 2.4 GHz, could be assigned a set of the 16 available channels to avoid interference if that ever becomes a problem. While this suggestion is technically workable, dissatisfaction remains. Users continue to press for greater cooperation from both organizations, and meetings between SP100 and the HART Communications Foundation continue.
The SP-100/HART collaboration committee released this statement: "An active dialog is underway between ISA100 and the HART Communications Foundation to define how collaboration between the two organizations can best be accomplished to satisfy the acknowledged needs of industry for clear and understandable wireless standards."
As part of the ISA100 process of forming its mesh network, called discovery, a unique format for ISA100 devices has been defined to differentiate from WirelessHART, ZigBee or any other message using IEEE 802.15.4 chips. At least this will allow manufacturers who wish to build devices recognizing multiple protocols (such as ISA100 and WirelessHART) to be able to use their ISA100 stack for ISA100 messages.

Actually, it seems to me that he's seen as an athletic guy who is completely overrated as a basketball player. So guys like DWest just don't respect him.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
This is awesome, hand drawn recreation of PG's dunk http://patruby.tumblr.com/post/73881616167
Like we've been saying, what is this man going to do at the all star game? Jump off of Lebron's shoulders for a dunk? Eat a hot dog on the court? Wear the full Lance-a-lot get up during the game? it's all in play
Chuck harps on this all the ****ing time on TNT. He says it is clear his teammates don't want to stick up for him (I get the sense that BLakes isn't all that well liked) so Chuck says Blake either has to do it himself or he's going to continue to be punked by tougher guys.
Lance since December 1 has basically been producing on a per minute basis similar to what PG did last year, but with a better FG%.
If Lance doesn't get into the all-star game it will be the league's loss. We see his antics on a daily basis so none of it would be surprising to us but boy will the league be missing out. I hope this guy never leaves the Pacers.
Actually this may explain some of the hate for Griffin that's going on. Few too many times oh Blake has been putting his hands on players shoulders or head and pushing up to make those spectacular dunks. Might be a few folks not real happy about that.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
NBA players don't like BG because they don't respect him. He gets all the endorsement $$ and fame because he can dunk well. He is a good, not great player, that the media has way overhyped. He doesn't deserve the accolades.
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I want to punch Griffin in the face every time I see one of his stupid commercials, they are the worst.

Even though I want to play — and the mentality I have is to play through injuries — in the long run, you've got to be smart.

I've got a glow mini that I'm trying to dye but the dye just washes right off. Even tried an overnight soak with no luck. It's an old box of Rit that I know works on champ/star plastics. I'm 99% sure I've seen and even commented on glow discs that were dyed... any thoughts on dying Innova's glow plastic?
Thanks in advance.

The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Arroyo and Dice were jittery becuase they were finally playing against a good defense. No open looks for Dice, and no easy passes for Carlos.
If the Pistons are "playing scared," then this series is already over.
Howver, we must have set some kind of an NBA record tonight for blocked shots that bounced right into the hands of a teamate for a layup. Thats the kind of lucky stuff I'm talking about. Every time we made a defensive play and knocked the ball lose, it ALWAYS magically bounced into the hands of another spur underneath the hoop. I swear our blocks are more accurate than their PASSES.
Tim was 10-22 tonight, with a few turnovers. I can live with that. The rebounds, however, are different.
Still, this falls in the hands of the rest of the guys for not making Duncan play DEFENSE.
Duncan can't guard Rasheed Wallace. The problem is, Rasheed never got the BALL.
Billups can manhandle PArker about any time he wants to. But he needs to pick hsi spots better, and get sheed the ball in the post.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005

Kstat, Rasheed did play very very good D on TD but you can't argue against 24 points and 17 rebounds.
The wrong big men of Detroit(Ben and Antonio) were trying to set picks for Chauncy on the top of the key and SA was trapping him and making him give up his dribble. I think Rasheed should be doing that so that he can get open for a three and SA's big man cannot help on the pick. Just my IMHO.
Both teams played very good defense though.
I thought Sheed defended Tim as well as you can. Sheed might be the best low post one-on-one defender in the whole NBA.
In the first quarter it was interesting. The Spurs were a little rusty, but I think the Pistons defense took them by surprise. (Nugs, Sonics, Suns cannot prepare you for the Pistons defense) But after the first quarter the Spurs found their groove a little offensively and I think the Pistons energy got worse as the game went on.
On the other end of the floor, the Spurs caused the Pistons offense to look horrible, part of that was the Pistons horrible play, but the Spurs defense is the best they've played also. Pistons bench was beyond bad, if I were a istons fan I would be screaming to get Mike James back, Carlos is very frustrating, he seemed either overwhelmed or just over-matched.
Hamilton missed a lot of shots he normally makes, so yes Bowen does a nice job, probably better than anyone in the NBA, but Hamilton will make a t of those shots next game. Also Tay missed some shots he normally makes. And yes get the ball to Sheed.
UB unfortunately I do not completely agree with you.
What I noticed is basically what I already noticed from the Spurs against the Suns, they have a multitude of gears they can switch into, it's almost scary.
1st of all the Spurs play absolute lockdown defense, IMO even better then the Pistons, and that says something.
2ndly they have simply to much talent on their team AND bench to overcome.
All those little pass-alterations the Pistons do, Spurs do them just as much, let's face it 10 blocks for the Pistons, but 8 for the Spurs it is still a "large" number either way.
All those Pistons blocks falling in the Spurs hands, ok if I was a fan of the Pistons I to would say (hope) that it was luck, but that luck seems to occur on any game they play, it was the same all playoffs long, all year long.
Spurs were the number 1 defending team in the NBA this year and not by mistake.
Despite what others might think, in my opinion the Spurs will win this in 5.
They are just THAT good.
Once they shook the rust off, they switched up a few gears and away they went.
Pistons might have had an "off" night shooting, but like all teams have these nights frequently against the Pistons, so do they against the Spurs, it's not called a "bad" night, it is called lockdown defense.
And you got to wonder, if Rasheed had a top defending job against TD (which in my opinion was the case) and TD still takes 24 pts and 17 boards, what if he has a bad night on defense?
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Spurs were better no doubt, however Detroit can not win with their Guards taking that many shots. It has proved costly in every round.
I did not see a scared Arroyo, I saw the same Arroyo as always making stupid plays.
If you swat the Pistons they will not attack the rim anymore. That is the key, once someone is swatted on that team they are done and will resort to jump shoots.
I was stoked that the Spurs won.....or more specifically that the Pistons lost.
Although it would be nice for the Spurs to sweep or beat the Pistons in 5.....ohhhhh the irony.....this will go down to a 6 game NBA final.
It sucks that the Pacers won't be the 2005 NBA champs.......but the Spurs being the 2005 NBA champs would be a nice consolation prize.
He'd get 50 points if the Pistons defended him on-on-one and if the Spurs went to him more. 24 points is not very many for Duncan
Pistons biggest problems were rebounding and their offense. Spurs only scored 84 points and what did they shoot
The Pistons have one edge over the spurs, and that's mental toughness. Not that the Spurs aren't tough, its just these pistons are the gutsiest team I've seen in 10 years. When they have to get a win, I have every confidence that they will.
Anyone who think this will be a quick series will be very disappointed.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Laker Trade in the Works?
By Eric Pincus
for HOOPSWORLD.com
Feb 19, 2005, 14:00 Email this article
Printer friendly page
Just when it seemed the Los Angeles Lakers were going to hold fast at the trade deadline, Jack Haley of Fox Sports in Los Angeles revealed late Friday that the Lakers were in serious discussions with an undisclosed team. Haley stated that LA was close to a deal that would send out three players for a single, impact player. He said that the Lakers have already warned one of their players that they're likely to be moved within the next 24 hours.
For those not familiar with Haley, he's the basketball analyst for the Southern California Sports Report on Fox Sports West. He is part of the Laker pre-game broadcast and is well connected with the organization. Can't quite remember him breaking a trade before, but it's safe to say the Lakers are working on some sort of deal. Whether it falls through or not is a different story. Jack was not able to reveal any names but did give one hint . . .
Host Lindsay Soto began the Haley segment with the following questions, "Any chance the Lakers get some front court help?"
After explaining the scenario, Jack concluded, "The player they're going after is someone that can definitely help in what you just asked me. I'm not allowed to say where."
A common practice in broadcasting is to feed the host of the show the introductory question. It would seem safe to say that by the exchange between Haley and Soto that the Lakers are close to a 3-1 deal for a big man.
(A few assumptions first: Kobe Bryant has a no trade clause. Chris Mihm is not likely in a the trade discussion. If Chucky Atkins is moved, a point guard must be the Laker trade target. Brian Grant's large contract is virtually immovable.)
Carlos Boozer?
It would seem that Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz would be the most likely acquisition. Chad Ford of ESPN Insider suggested the other day that the Jazz would entertain offers for their recently signed power forward. With the plan of putting Andrei Kirilenko at power forward, the Jazz could be in the market for a small forward. It just so happens that the Lakers have a plethora of threes on the roster. The Jazz publicly came out and said they weren't shopping Boozer, but that may have been a front . . . or a mind was changed.
Boozer is in the first year of a $70 million dollar contract. Although the league does not release exact salary information, he's slated to make roughly $11 million for the 2004/5 season.
Bboth Lamar Odom and Carlos Boozer sat out the Lakers\Jazz game right before the All-Star Break. That may be a coincidence. It would seem that the Jazz, should they agree to move Boozer, would like some level of salary relief. Odom makes roughly the same amount that Boozer does, though Lamar has one year less on his contract. Odom for Boozer would seem somewhat of a lateral move and doesn't seem likely.
The logical player the Jazz would seem to want in return would be Caron Butler. If that were the case, the additions of Vlade Divac and Devean George would be enough. Vlade and George have been injured throughout nearly the entire season. The Jazz could buy out the last year on Divac' contract for a couple of million dollars. Devean is close to health finally and would be a nice addition to the Jazz bench.
In other words, LA gives up a key piece in Caron, a bad signing in Vlade and a player who is no longer needed in Devean for a traditional, solid power forward. Should the Lakers fully commit to the triangle offense, it's possibly they may want to retain George, but to make a deal . . . that may be overlooked.
There are other variations, but this is probably the most likely scenario should a trade go down.
If Laker GM Mitch Kupchak is able to get Boozer to Los Angeles for a package without Caron or Odom, he'd be drastically upgrading the team. Although unlikely, Jumaine Jones along with Vlade, Devean and perhaps a number one pick works under the collective bargaining agreement but that would involve desperation by Utah to get rid of Boozer. That doesn't seem very likely.
Baron Davis?
There's always the possibility that the exchange between Haley and Soto was unplanned and mis-communicated, the suggestion of a front court player may be erroneous. In that case, New Orleans Hornets' point guard Baron Davis would seem to be the logical target. Laker Assistant GM Ronnie Lester reportedly told local radio that if the team made a trade, it'd be for a point guard. That information doesn't come first hand, but was passed along by usually reliable sources.
Baron has been injured most of the year and his trade value is at an all-time low. He's a former All-Star under contract for $70 million over five seasons. With Davis making roughly $11.3 million this season, the Hornets have found success at the point with Dan Dickau, who is under contract for just under $900K. Baron has suffered with a chronic bad back which was pre-existing before signing his extension with the club. The New York Post's Peter Vecsey reported recently that because of that condition, Davis' large contract is not completely insured.
It'd be a risk for the Lakers to take him on. If they can do it without giving up much, it may be an opportunity the team cannot pass up. Just how desperate the Hornets are to get rid of him is a good question. After Vince Carter and Kenyon Martin were traded for less "talent" than expected, perhaps the Lakers can get away with dumping Vlade Divac, Slava Medvedenko and Devean George on the Hornets. LA would probably have to send a draft pick. That's obviously the best case scenario.
More realistic perhaps would be different combinations: Caron Butler, Chucky Atkins and Vlade Divac . . . or Caron, George and Vlade.
Lamar Odom wouldn't seem to be in play for a guard with the Laker front court as thin as it is.
In either case (Boozer or Davis), Caron Butler would seem like the odd man out.
Other Big Men Options
The Portland Trail Blazers are said to have Shareef Abdur-Rahim on the block. Portland badly needs a shooting guard. Unless the Lakers were willing to move Odom, it would take Chucky Atkins, Devean George and Vlade Divac to match salaries. Since there is not point guard coming in to replace Atkins, it would seem the only deal possible with the Blazers for Shareef would include Lamar. LA would have to send two more players - it just doesn't seem likely.
Also rumored to be on the block are Theo Ratliff, but his contract seems cost prohibitive to the Lakers. Zach Randolph cannot be traded to LA since he has a "poison pill" contract since his large extension hasn't kicked in yet.
Another name bandied about would be Antoine Walker. Similar to Abdur-Rahim, the Lakers would have to move Chucky without getting a point in return. It'd likely take Odom, but the Lakers would not be upgrading. Cross Walker off the list.
Guys like PJ Brown, Joe Smith and Keith Van Horn wouldn't seem to be the right fit, unless Jack Haley overstated the talent level of the alleged Laker acquisition.
Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic are forwards, but the Sacramento Kings trading with the Lakers? Can't see Caron for Peja going through. LA would have to include Odom to get Webber, which doesn't make a lot of sense with Chris' age, larger contract and injury history.
No way the Timberwolves trade the Lakers Kevin Garnett. Neither do the Clippers or Pacers send Elton Brand or Jermaine O'Neal, respectively. Sorry Laker fans.
Another name not mentioned often is Kenyon Martin. The Denver season has been a disappointment, but with Nene going down with a sprained MCL, KMart just doesn't seem likely. The Nuggets are desperate for a shooting guard and the Lakers can' t help them there . . . so scratch Martin off the list.
That leaves the Baby Bulls (Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler) and the Wizards' Kwame Brown. Chicago is finally winning. Doesn't seem likely they blow it up to acquire Caron Butler and various Lakers.
Kwame would seem to be the most likely out of the three. If the Wizards had their sites set on Butler, it would take Jumaine Jones and Brian Cook as well. That seems a lot to give up for a restricted free agent who was yet to really blossom in the NBA. After a nice stretch or two last season, Kwame has yet to recover from injury. If the Lakers could nab Kwame for package of Luke Walton, Tierre Brown and Devean George . . . Kupchak will have given up very little to take on somewhat of a risky player.
Obviously there's more options available, but the Boozer scenario seems to make the most sense for both teams.
Other Guard Options
The Lakers cannot trade Lamar Odom for Jason Kidd, when the Lakers so desperately need rebounding help and size. Unless the Nets want to give away Kidd for relatively nothing, a Los Angeles\New Jersey trade would seem far fetched.
Other fantasy pick ups like Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Paul Pierce or Michael Redd are just not in the cards. Ray Allen may be on the block, but he plays the same position as Kobe and there doesn't seem to be any reasonable deal to be done.
Jason Williams of the Memphis Grizzlies would be a relatively big name point guard acquisition, but the Grizzlies don't have the roster space to add on additional players. They also don't need any small forwards . . . Memphis just isn't a likely trade partner.
The Lakers could be looking at the Portland point guards, Nick Van Exel and Damon Stoudamire, but neither makes real sense.
The Bottom Line
Phil Jackson is likely to be the Lakers' next coach. The rumor is that a five-year deal worth $50 million dollars was negotiated and agreed to in Hawaii by Phil's agent who was (allegedly) meeting with Laker owner Dr. Buss. Jackson has engagements scheduled throughout the next couple of months. He'd take over after the season.
All the signs were there, including Brian Shaw and Kurt Rambis taking on assistant coaching duties. Were the New York Knicks even close to contending this season, LA might have had some competition. The final straw was LA offering Tex Winter a job (he declined).
Sure this is just rumor and until the contract is signed, it's not valid, but expect Phil and the triangle offense.
In the meantime, the Lakers could have this major trade done before the end of the All-Star Game.
My money is on Carlos Boozer . . . but either way I lose $50 to fellow Hoopsworld columnist, Mario Morgan. Betting that the Lakers don't make a move at the deadline may have been a mistake.

Central wrestlers second at Wabash duals
CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND.—The Central College wrestling team took runner-up honors Saturday, finishing 2-1 in the Wabash College (Ind.) Max Servies Duals.
The No. 29 Dutch blanked Knox College (Ill.) 60-0 and cruised past the College of Mount St. Joseph 35-5 before falling to No. 25 Wabash in the finals, 23-12.
"We were much more aggressive this week and did a better attacking on our feet," coach Eric Van Kley said. "We had some scrambles that didn't go our way against Wabash, but to get second in a solid tournament like that is a really good weekend."
Central improved to 9-3 overall. Earlier in the day the Dutch scored a 35-3 victory against the Wabash B team, but the match was not included in team scoring.
Junior TJ Peretti (Auburn, Wash., Mountainview HS), freshman Aaron Anderson (Clarion, Clarion-Goldfield HS) and senior Theron Stewart (Marshalltown) each produced four wins for the Dutch and racked up all of Central's points against Wabash. Peretti improved to 12-5 at 141 pounds while Anderson moved to 20-4 at 133 and Stewart advanced to 19-3 at 197.
"They each had solid efforts and did a good job of getting the offense going," Van Kley said. "TJ definitely had his best effort of the year. Aaron and Theron did a good job off bottom to allow them to push the pace of the match and use their conditioning to win the close ones in the third period."
The Dutch return their focus to Iowa Conference action next Saturday with three league duals at Dubuque, hosted by the University of Dubuque. Central opens with top-ranked defending champion Wartburg College at 10 a.m. and meets No. 26 Dubuque at noon before closing with Buena Vista University at 2 p.m.Print this ad for $10 off your next oil change

Best of luck today! Sorry to hear about your long journey - we seem to be right in there with you.
Maybe we will see you at MSKCC today - Dave's second (at least scheduled) pump session is with Dr Kemeny today at 11:15AM but I have come to learn visits there are typically an all day affair!
I hope you don't have to wait TOO long! Bring lunch! Lol
Typically, she ran 30 minutes late. Sometimes longer.
All these people at Sloan now! Makes me wish I was still there... No, wait... Never mind! . I like my 20 minute commute better.
Good luck to all of you today at Sloan.

Side effects never a big deal to me but I did get/use a dietician specializing in cancer care to give me more tips on preventing side effects) Recommend.
Cancer hormones can cause depression not to mention the fear of the diagnosis. So make sure either of you don't become trapped in anxiety, depression, or fear of making a decision. If so, seek help (e.g. meds, stress mgmt education, mind/balance steps, no secrets. I even have an upbeat personal trainer come to the home to keep my core strong, energized, good circulation, big smiles)
I'm impressed with your medical saavy and research. Your wife is lucky to have you in her corner. My husband (former pharmacist then lawyer) was/is great at that too. If you ever need/want to talk to someone who can talk to you on that level, feel free to call 214*734*5023. I haven't posted much here so I don't know if I'll know if you reply on here. Going to Seattle vacation this week... That's my cell.
(continued response to Matt....)
Going to Seattle on vacation from (hot) Dallas. Call cell 214*734*5023. My husband can speak on medical level too if you want to talk to him.
I can't wait any longer! What's the news??
Hi Chris,
My apologies for the delayed reply. Life has been a little crazy the past week. Our appointments at MSKCC went ok, but the news was a little disappointing. Dr. Fong was not very encouraging about the future prospects for resection due to the advanced stage and lack of response to the first line chemotherapy. He did not believe the HAI pump is advisable at this time but wants to reasses in a few months after four cycles of folfox.
Thanks to all who have responded for your continued support and encouragment. Lisa and I have a very positive outlook in spite of recent setbacks and are pressing forward with the new treatment plan with great faith and determination. I will do my best to keep you updated.
Kind Regards,
Oh, Matt,
I am sorry you and Lisa didn't get the news you wanted. Unfortunately, you learn quite early that this is much like a roller coaster ride.
I have learned patience is very necessary. Patience waiting for response from chemo, test results, decisions made and changed....it's tough not being in control.
My suggestion? Enjoy as much as life will let you! On the good days, embrace the good. On the bad days (including the wait time) practice patience.
Tell Lisa I wish her great success on folfox.
Matt.....I too am sorry to hear the news however; as you have mentioned the next regimen consisting of FOLFOX may just nip these pesky cells. Here is to good news coming your way. Take a deep breath, give yourself a break and then head with gusto into the upcoming chemo cycles. We are with you - all the way.
Dear Matt and Lisa, I am so sorry about the disappointing news but at least you have a plan and that is extremely important. You both have remarkable attitudes and that helps so much. Remember that attitude is not only everything it is the only thing! Thank you for the update and please keep us posted on Lisa's progress!
Praying that Lisa responds well to FOLFOX.
My husband (41) was dx with CC in Jan-13 and it's been a roller coaster for sure. Five rounds of gemcis didn't work on him at all and now he is on FOLFIRI+Tarceva. Best wishes to the both you and your family.

Shopping by bike - carrying cargo and more
CARRYING CARGO on YOUR BICYCLE
You can haul a lot on a bike if you're properly equipped. Some options include:
Some cargo:
• A basic backpack is very convenient, but doesn't hold a lot and can make for a hot & awkward ride when loaded.
• A "messenger bag" has a single strap that rests on your opposite shoulder; also does not hold a lot.
More cargo:
A rack for the rear of your bike is extremely useful. You'll need one to be able to use panniers, buckets, & some baskets.
• Panniers are bags that attach to a rear bike rack. These are usually waterproof, removable, & allow you to carry more weight.
• Baskets are generally a less expensive option for carrying more weight. Baskets can attach to the front or rear of your bike. Some are collapsible and others are easily removable to go in the store with you.
• Plastic "bike buckets" are inexpensive & functional. Build your own!
Most cargo:
• Trailers attach to the rear of your bike, and are the best for carrying large loads, be it children, pets, groceries, or whatever else you can think of.

The DREW Review: What to do with Orton
by, 04-16-2013 at 05:28 PM (4472 Views)
Hey everyone this is my first blog and hopefully it is enjoyed.
Anywho Orton is getting stale its one of the many things I keep reading. This is the year I would love to see Orton have.
Keep up with the current story with Orton and Sheamus teaming, having them lose to Big Show and Mark Henry in tag, and one on one matches and have Orton start showing his frustration more and more as the weeks roll on. Finally have Mick Foley show up and during a promo (in ring) have Mick break up an argument between the two and offer his opinion saying how the thoughts of a hall of famer and hardcore legend (when Foley says legend Orton twitches a bit, clearly not happy with the interruption) cant hurt, at that moment the Shields music hits, at this point they are owning the joint fresh off a victory over Taker and Team Hell No. They surround the ring and start the attack. Orton makes quick work of Rollins while Sheamus is getting worked over trying to protect Mick, Orton runs over to help and gets Foley out of the ring, then turns to the ring and watches the Shield as they hit the triple power bomb on Sheamus and run, Foley and Orton enter the ring again to check on him, while Foley is tending to Sheamus Orton keeps looking from the Shield to Sheamus to Foley and stops on Foley. Foley turns around only to eat an RKO, he then looks at the Shield and then leaves. this sets up Orton vs. Sheamus, during the match the Shield show up and destroy Sheamus with the triple powerbomb again exchange a nod with Orton and all 4 of them leave through the crowd.
Now with the ground work laid we can get Orton back to a crazy voices in his head heel we all love. He can come out and say how hes tired of helping everyone only to lose and how the Shield has the right idea show up take out the biggest players in the game and leave on top. hes very impressed with there recent choices as of late going after the likes of The Rock. Undertaker, and Triple H. and how he once used the same tactics earning him the name the legend killer and how he wants to help the Shield make their group be even more deadly, and they accept.
Now over the next few months have the Shield, with Orton leading the way, pick apart the biggest names in the biz. the WWE has plans to do HHH vs. Brock 3 have them show up and leave them both laying fore a huge twist, setting Orton up to face both at some point in time having him win (with the help of the Shield) against both.
They can also use this story to help elevate the Booker T and Teddy Long story theve been running with Teddy trying to piss off Booker. Have Booker confront Orton and tell him too stop with the path that he's on only for Orton to make notice of Bookers HOF ring laugh at him and say, "I bet you think your some kind of legend now right?" then RKO him and have the Shield come out and pick apart the scraps. Now with Booker injured, Teddy steps up to take over the day to day duties in Bookers absence, leading to an angry Booker when he returns after Teddy uses his time to make himself look good and Booker look bad.
Now with Teddy Long in there back pocket they have set there sights on the Rock leading to Orton vs. The Rock with Orton winning clean over The Rock setting him back up as one of the big dogs once more and maybe going after the streak again in an attempt to take out the only legend he never finished off at Wrestlemania 30 unless they already have something in the works for Taker. if they do then have him go for the WWE Title at mania and maybe have the Shield get some gold there too maybe have Rollins and Reigns pick up the tag titles and Ambrose grab the IC Title making them a very shiny force to be reconed with.
i hope this was enjoyed by many and hated by a few

Standing with his twin Erick, Ryan Cruzado, 18, said Tuesday he could hardly wait to get into California Maritime Academy's new bookstore.
"I want to see what it looks like," Cruzado said, adding he planned to check out some books and, maybe, buy a new jacket with the CMA logo on it.
He and his twin are from Fontana and both are majoring in mechanical engineering. They were among a small crowd gathered Tuesday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the bookstore.
The new Cal Maritime bookstore is a big step up from the former facility which operated in a double wide trailer for years.
The store is on the west end of the campus near the waterfront and includes large windows to capitalize on the view of San Pablo Bay.
Occupying the school's former racquetball courts, the 3,500 square foot building includes a first floor and mezzanine level stocked with textbooks, supplies, uniforms, gifts and clothes.
The project is part of the school's new "dining center" on the west side of the campus expected to open in fall of 2013.
The new dining hall is being built where the trailer once sat, said Diane Rawicz, Cal Maritime enterprise services executive director.
The $1.2 million book store has been in the works for several years and was financed through bonds to be paid off with student fees, Rawicz said.
Designing and building the new bookstore was a team effort which will benefit the students and the school community, said Andrew Cunningham of Flad Architects which is also working on the dining center.
Cal Maritime President Thomas Cropper said the new bookstore represents a long-range vision school administrators and students set up many years ago.
Though technology has replaced many books and put some stores out of business, Cropper said he will always love the smell and feel of an old-fashioned bookstore.
Following the ribbon-cutting, students and staff flocked into the new store and enjoyed refreshments including a huge cake with the likeness of the bookstore on the frosting.

8 Tools You Should Rent, Not Buy
Fenix E01
Yes, we've all used our phone as a flashlight in a pinch. But that doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. If you find yourself whipping out your phone for lighting purposes on a regular basis, consider adding a compact flashlight to your keychain or bag.
The Fenix E01 doesn't look fancy, nor is it terribly bright. But it's inexpensive, lightweight, reliable, and it lasts nearly a full day powered by a single AAA battery. The only drawback is that the beam on our 20-month-old model has turned a slightly off-white purplish. But for the $12 to $15 it cost us and the binds it got us out of, we could live with the color issue.
Streamlight Stylus Pro
Keychain flashlights are useful, but they're not well-suited for frequent usage. Penlights are discrete enough to clip to your pocket, and they are often much brighter and more comfortable to hold and point than other models.
One of our favorites is the Streamlight Stylus Pro. The newest version has a higher-output LED than its predecessor and lasts a little over six hours on two regular AAA batteries. Ours has been used and abused but still shines bright, every time. Expect to pay up to $20 for the black version and a little more for the other colors.

Show Us the MoneyOh, wait—there isn't any
This year's budget talk: déja vu. In January 2010, the New Mexico Legislature convened to deal with a $454 million budget shortfall. Though New Mexico wasn't in the hole as deep as, say, California, the shortfall still made up roughly 10 percent of the state's total budget.
It took two special legislative sessions to settle partisan differences over how to close the gap. The divide was classic, with Democrats arguing for higher taxes (euphemistically termed "revenue enhancements") to keep services intact while Republicans advocated for across-the-board cuts.
By March, a compromise was reached, and the budget was balanced—for the moment.
Over the next few months, though, the gap between the state's revenues and expenditures crept back up. In October, the Legislative Finance Committee put the 2011 budget shortfall at $260 million. A month later, Gov. Bill Richardson's office issued its own estimate—$452 million—setting off a statement war between incumbent and incoming administrations.
Richardson's late-in-the-game estimate, Gov.-elect Susana Martinez announced, "confirms our suspicions that the Richardson/Denish administration has been hiding the ball all along."
Richardson Deputy Chief of Staff Gilbert Gallegos fired back with fervor: "It's not surprising that Susana Martinez doesn't understand the budget," Gallegos' own statement read.
State Rep. and LFC Chairman Luciano "Lucky" Varela, D-Santa Fe, says the discrepancy exists because Richardson's estimate doesn't take into account legislative cost-saving measures enacted last session, such as shifting the burden of contributions to public retirement funds from the state to individual government employees.
"The LFC number says we'll continue those [cost-saving measures]," Varela explains. "That's the one we're using to build our budget."
Varela also sits on the interim Government Restructuring Task Force, which, in advance of its final meeting in December, floated a range of ideas to improve government efficiency by consolidating state agencies and eliminating certain committees, advisory boards and task forces.
The Martinez camp has so far been quiet on its plans for 2011.
Harvey Yates Jr., the former chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico and a member of Martinez' Government Efficiency Task Force, tells SFR the task force has met only once.
"I'm not very well-informed on this," Yates says. "We're in the process of reviewing various ideas. I've been told we're going to meet again next week but, beyond that, I don't know."
During her campaign, Martinez promised to avoid cuts in the two heftiest budget arenas—education and Medicaid—without raising taxes.
Those promises are now fluid.
"The Governor-elect intends to protect core functions like classroom spending and basic health care for those most in need, but given the fact that the budget deficit nearly doubled since the election, she recognizes that it might become necessary to look for savings in certain bureaucracies in order to maintain core functions," transition team spokesman Danny Diaz writes in an email to SFR.
Martinez plans to release "a balanced budget that does not raise taxes" before the start of the next legislative session on Jan. 18, Diaz adds.
While the two administrations exchange words, intimations of real change trickle out from state law-makers.
One proposal, by state Sen. Tim Keller, D-Bernalillo, removes the governor from the State Investment Council—a move Keller describes as the final step in ensuring state investment decisions aren't political.
Keller says he anticipates sup-port for the bill—largely because corruption, investment-related and otherwise, continues.
"Another summer of scandal has proven the need to further separate politics from investments," Keller says."
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, only four US states don't currently face budget shortfalls—a reality Keller says helps draw attention to the need for reform.
"One of the few upsides of a budget deficit is that it really focuses people on less glamorous issues like taxes and investments and, obviously, the budget," Keller says. "In a surplus budget year, it's like, what cool program can you develop that will use up the surplus? In down years, you've got to look at the things that are a lot less sexy, like investments and taxes."
Get ready for an un-sexy 2011.
CONSIPIRACY THEORY: Richardson has been siphoning money to book a seat on the first Spaceport flight.

Memphis basketball fans should be happy to know that they will have an opportunity to see William Shaquille Goodwin performing in person a lot sooner than they might think.
Tiger fans don't have to wait until next fall to see Goodwin in action because he'll be making his third appearance in the Memphis vs Atlanta Roundball Classic at the Memphis University School gym. Event director (and native Memphian) Revelle Williams began the MARC in December of 2008, but the roots of the event reach back much, much further.
"It was initially started around the Christmas holidays," Williams began, "26th and 27th, a couple days after Christmas. And that started in Atlanta. I've been in Atlanta 23 years (and) I started coaching high school basketball in Atlanta in 1999. I've always compared the talent between Atlanta and Memphis and I thought it was very comparable.
"I had a vision of wanting to bring the two (cities) together. So financially, there came a time when I was prepared to try to put it together."
For his maiden voyage in 2008, Williams invited Memphis teams with coaches that he was familiar with.
"The first teams were teams that I was paying my respect to guys that I played against and guys that I knew back from when I played and when I grew up watching my brother play," he explained. "Raleigh-Egypt, Coach (Jimmy) Adams. I played against him when he was at (Memphis) Central.
"Sylvester Ford and Fairley, they came. Ridgeway, coach Henning. Harold Johnson and Trezevant, they came. And Wooddale, Jerry Johnson, who was ill, but Wooddale came as well."
The Memphis teams were thoroughly dominant at the first event.
"The first Classic, we had 15 games," Williams recounts, "and Memphis won 11 games to four. They kinda walked away (having) beat up on the Atlanta teams a little bit that year."
Stung by the margin, Atlanta teams made it a point to close the gap. Williams added girls' teams to the event in 2009, and Memphis prevailed again, this time 11-7. Atlanta won last year's all boys' clash for the first time, compiling a final mark of 7-5.
The competition between the two cities is friendly, however. Teams from each city fully intend to earn a measure of bragging rights, but it doesn't cross over into ugliness.
"The respect is so high on both sides," Williams notes. "Memphis teams respect Atlanta teams, and vice versa. So you would think it would be more of a competitive atmosphere, but its really not.
"The two teams (in any game) respect each other highly and they enjoy the event because they know both cities are two of the top recruiting cities in the nation. So they respect each other, from a coach's perspective and from a player's perspective. . . There's no bad blood or anything like that."
The event continues to grow, and Williams has ambitions of adding a third city to the mix in the near future, perhaps as early as next year.
"There's actually some preparations to constantly add a couple of major cities to the mix," Williams hints. "That's not confirmed but I've got some things in the works. . . I put some feelers out there but it's a little premature to mention the names (of any cities to be involved)."
Goodwin (Southwest Dekalb) and Marcus Hunt (North Clayton) will participate in this year's Roundball Classic. Memphis fans should recognize both names: Goodwin committed to the Tigers, and Hunt was a Memphis target before he pulled the trigger to Georgia Tech. In fact, the Memphis vs Atlanta series has introduced several prep stars to the Bluff City hoops scene, including Jelan Kendrick.
Another name that college basketball fans are aware of is Goodwin's SW Dekalb teammate, Jordan Price, who has verballed to Auburn "and could be one of the best players in this event, if not the best," according to Williams.
The natural tie-in to Memphis basketball for Williams, a Hamilton High graduate, shouldn't be overlooked. He's pleased to have an opportunity to showcase Shaq Goodwin to Memphis fans.
"I mean, with me growing up, being a kid in the Dana Kirk camp with Larry Finch and all of those guys on staff," Revelle began, "you know, it's almost like a dream come true for me to be a Big Blue Tiger fan as a kid and then to be able to bring a Tiger recruit and commit back home where it all started for me."
And Williams might have actually played a role in Goodwin's ultimate commitment, by giving the young Shaq an opportunity to mix it up with Memphis teams. Williams commented on reasons why he thought Goodwin verballed to Memphis.
"I think playing in the Memphis vs Atlanta Classic got him accustomed, and gave him visibility to see the competitiveness that the Memphis players play with. I think that was an initial component in getting Shaq exposed to Memphis basketball, number one.
"And number two, with him always going to top-rated events, he always saw Memphis kids at those same events. So I think that was another component. And thirdly, the AAU engagement with the Memphis YOMCA, being able to play directly with the Memphis kids, I think was a clincher."
Action begins on Friday at 4:00 p.m. The full schedule follows below. Tickets go on sale on November 21, 2010. Each school involved will receive an allotment of tickets to sell to booster clubs and remaining tickets will be available to the general public. Memphis-area stars to watch for are Alex Anderson and Nick King at Memphis East along with Craig Hill and Cameron Golden of Ridgeway.

Tony Stewart was disappointed with his ninth-place finish in the 2012 standings after he had such a incredible run to the Sprint Cup championship a year earlier.
One thing at least tempered his disappointment. He won't have to worry about teams building on momentum or making gains from 2012 going into 2013.
MORE: Stewart grabbed more than headlines | Top 25: Newman | Danica vs. Junior
With a new body style, new weight distribution rules, new tire camber rules and new rear suspension rules for all cars in 2013, Stewart, and owner/driver at Stewart-Haas Racing, knows what worked for some of his competitors in 2012 won't work in 2013.
"I am discouraged that we are finishing this way, but not because of what it's going to lead to next year," Stewart said. "Everybody is going to start with stuff that is totally different package-wise than what we have.
"(It will be) a totally new body that is obvious to everybody, but things underneath the car that the guys are doing to the cars this year they are not going to be allowed to do next year. There are a lot of changes and it's going to be a whole new learning process starting over in Daytona."
But what happened in 2012? Stewart's cars weren't as fast as in 2011 and he made some mistakes, most notably at Talladega late in the year when he tried to block Michael Waltrip and caused a 24-car crash.
The season had started on such a high as Stewart won two of the first five races with new crew chief Steve Addington as he visited victory lane at Las Vegas and California.
Stewart, who spent part of the year looking for new sponsors for his team and organization, won a third race at Daytona in July.
"I think the high point is probably winning at Las Vegas, winning at a track we hadn't won at before was definitely a high point," Stewart said "A lot of places that we were so good at last year in the Chase, not being good this time and this year around was a little disappointing."
Those finishes included a 13th at Charlotte, 27th at Martinsville, 19th at Phoenix and 17th at Homestead.
That was a far cry from a year ago when he finished eighth at Charlotte, first at Martinsville, third at Phoenix and first at Homestead.
"It was disappointing (because) I was hoping for a lot more," Stewart said. "It's not because we didn't win but we were a lot better team than a ninth-place team in the championship."
Maybe the only consolation was that the driver he battled for the championship in 2011 didn't win a race nor make the Chase. So Stewart didn't have the misery that Carl Edwards had.
"It shows how competitive the series is," Stewart said. "You can be on top one minute and turn around the next minute and be quite a bit behind. It makes you focus a lot and try to make you stay on top of the game."

" Brand: John Lewis / Type: Crib "
The Anna rocking crib from John Lewis was something we decided we want for our second son. The reason I wanted a crib for the night and our bedroom was several fold. Firstly with our first son he grew out of his Moses basket at around 4 months and as our bedroom is so small he had to move to his own room at this point rather than at 6 months as recommend by the NHS for reducing the risk of cot death. The second reason was I also fancied being able to rock him to sleep if necessary and the open design appealed as it would mean we could see him more easily when he was in it.
The crib was ordered off the John Lewis website and arrived as promised and was well packed. The instructions for assembly were relatively clear as flat packed furniture can be. We were able to put this together easily, it does take two people to do the job as there times you need to hold pieces upright as you screw bits into place. The job took around 30 minutes to complete which I found to be an acceptable length of time for putting things together.
The crib fits nicely into our bedroom beside our bed and we can look easily and see our son in it from the bed through the slats. The height of the crib is also very good as I can reach in and out of the crib to life my son up or lay him down without any leaning over into the crib as I would have to do with a cot. This was especially useful for me when I was recovering from the caesarean section as it meant there was no pressure on my scar area and I could easily move my son in and out of the crib with ease.
Initially when we put our son in the crib he found it a bit disconcerting compared to the clear crib at hospital. He seemed to find the open slats disconcerting and if is hand or arm went through the slats then it would trigger the startle reflex and he would jolt awake. We combated this by swaddling him and he seemed to sleep better this way. By the time he moved to gro bags around the 6 week old mark he had got used to the slats and even if his arms or hand went thought the slat space he wouldn't startle himself awake.
The rocking motion is easy to operate by removing the wooden toggle at the bottom of the crib. The swing on it can be quite harsh if it is knocked but never enough to move our son around the crib. If it is swung gently our son actually loves the motion and it can help sooth him to sleep. I would suggest having a bit of a practice with the swinging motion without the baby in the crib first so you can see how little force you actually need to give it a gentle rock. The wooden toggle stays in place very well and the crib only moves slightly to the side if it's in place and can never be rocked with it in place.
The construction of the crib is nice and sturdy and even now our son is rolling in his sleep at 5 months old it copes well with him moving around in the night without any rocking or movement. The feet at the base are nice and wide and this seems to give it a lot of stability. The side slats are very strong as well and show no signs of wear and tear despite being knocked by our son. We have a mobile attached to the slats at the head of the crib and these again show no signs of wear and tear with it being attached to it.
I personally love the open design of the crib as we are able to see our son and him us which I find seems to help us all sleep on a night. This is as he is able to see us this seems to mean he can look at us and then self sooth himself off to sleep. Equally we can easily check him if there are any rustles coming from the crib. The design is very simple to look at and would fit in any bedroom design I believe. The natural wood design that we have is very clean and sleek to look at. It also comes in a white version but I personally prefer the natural wood look.
The size of the crib is living up to the promise I hoped of and is still easily able to accommodate our 5 month old who weighs around 18llbs with still some growing room. This gives me the confidence to think he will be able to stay in our room till he is 6 months old which reduces my anxieties about cot death.
Now comparing how my two sons slept I do know that my second son has slept better on a night than my first son who was in a Moses basket. How much of this is down to the crib I don't know but I suspect the better support he can get from the solid base and a mattress means it is more comfortable than the Moses basket we had for our first son and has probably in some ways helped him sleep better.
Overall this is a great crib it is well made and easy to assemble the rocking motion does need a bit of practice to ensure you don't over swing your baby but a gentle rocking motion does seem at times to help our son sleep. At £75 from the John Lewis website for the crib it is more expensive than a Moses basket but it certainly will last well and can be passed down to future siblings or sold on so I do think it is well worth the money. I just wish we had bought one with our first son.
