He playing amazing during the end of the season and playoffs. Now hes finally healthy again, and has a full training camp - I can see him having a great season
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
I guess my thing for Tyler is this.... he goes back to NC in the off-seasons and so does David West. Why aren't they working out together? They literally live a short distance apart on the outskirts of Raleigh, NC. Maybe they do and I don't know. But there is no way David West doesn't teach Tyler these things if they are working out together. Why hasn't Tyler made obvious changes to his game in the off-seasons? Is he too busy playing against old NC players that are no longer in the league? Is he too busy pimping UNC co-eds? (I would be too, but I am not a professional basketball player). I just don't understand why we haven't seen Tyler as one of the first people back to training camp. It seems like he doesn't even like his teammates or something.
I think Hill will have the biggest imapct for us with improvement. He is money from deep, but if he improves his handles and our playbook improves, he should be the one that literally can improve our whole offense. I think ball movement is the single biggest thing we can improve on as a team and it all starts with Hill. I think Hill will have the biggest impact on our team with his improvement, but not necessarily the biggest improvement overall.
I think Hibbert's conditioning is a major area of improvement as well. A few more minutes per game from him would do wonders for us. We also have a better big rotation that won't make it as glaring of a problem when he goes out either. That is a key improvement area for me as well. For Hibbert, I think him having consistent confirdence would be his biggest area of improvement. Dominate Big Fella!
David West I just want to see improvement in his mobility. I think his early season issues had a lot to do with his lack of mobility. I think if he improved his flexibility and continued to work on his leg and hip strength, he will have a monster season for us and be much better defensively.
Granger just needs to be better at picking his spots on offense, and becoming a better defender. The biggest thing he could do for us next year is to bring the defensive intensity and efficiency from the SF position that will improve the team defense overall. Hibbert is a cornerstone on the block, but if we can get a more evenly spread scoring effort from everybody, it will allow Granger to be that much better on the defensive end. Granger and Paul could be a top three defensive pairing on the wing next year. That would be as important to our team as any scoring load he could add. He needs to work out of the post more as well, which I have been saying for years. The dude needs to add that as part of his arsenal and has yet to do it. I think it is because he is scared of going inside the three point line.
George has pretty much been covered and I think he will be in the running for the MIP award.
Our bench overall needs to be an improvement. We need more cohesiveness out of this group and there can't be such a drop off when our starters leave the floor. I think we improved our bench significantly this off-season. There needs to be a little less mass subs by Vogel next year as well. I think if our starters play a few more minutes with a couple of the reserves our eight man rotation come playoff time won't be so undermanned. I would like to see less of the five-on five-off type of substitutions. I'd like to see more of the eight or nine man rotations used throughout a game where it is four starters and a sub or three starters and two subs and we don't really see much of having four or five subs on the floor together. I really like the job Vogel is doing and really appreciated his substitution patterns last year, but I just didn't feel like our second unit took advantage of other teams enough by going with all five reserves at once. I can't wait to see what our bench is. The player I am most excited to see what they bring is Orlando Johnson. I think the kid could develop into a solid rotation player for us if he can earn the playing time with his defense.
Vogel, I think is a very good coach. I think the playbook improvement and general philosophy of how we get the ball into the post will be something he does address. I think his game management will be better, although that is not necessarily a weakness IMO. I really think as this guy gets comfortable, he will be a very good coach long-term.
The biggest improvement I think we can see as a franchise would be ATTENDANCE! This year we better be in the top third for attendance.

"Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."
The guy I expect to have the biggest improvement will be either tyler or lance. Both kinda had down years last year and can improve their games with some minor fixes.
The guy I would like to be the Pacers MIP is Paul George. He is the guy with the highest ceiling. If he improves the most, he gives the Pacers another really good player to go with Danny, Roy and David. Best case scenario, Paul George becomes good enough to be a year in and year out all star.
I hope it's Paul but Hill would be my bet. I think we'll see him be more of a point guard this year than he was last year.
Hill, because I understand that he's going to focus on just one of the guard positions. He's been pretty good as a combo guard playing PG, but I expect him to be a better PG when he focuses on that position.

I see what you're saying, and I'd normally agree with you - a player that hasn't shown progress in six seasons should not be counted on to improve in his seventh. However, where I would disagree in Tyler's specific case, is that he hasn't really had to improve until now. His accomplishments at UNC made him one of the best college players of all-time and, after a vertigo-shortened rookie year, he had a pretty decent sophomore season. After this past season, he needs to change and improve his game to continue an NBA career. Will he do it? I wouldn't bet on it, but I could see it as a possibility.
I thought it might be Tyler, but then I ran the idea through my calculator.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Love it.

People think Tyler doesn't work hard enough in the off season? He's always struck me as just the opposite. The kinda guy that works very hard and gets the most out of his abilities. We all just wish he had more abilities.
Here's the reason I want Tyler to make a big improvement this year. After this season he's an RFA while West is a FA. I don't see much chance of us re-signing both of them.
The ideal situation is for Tyler to blossom so we can let West walk. Then use West's money to extend Tyler, re-sign DJ and have some left over for Paul George the next year.
I've got my fingers crossed that Tyler takes a big step this year.
"Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."
I hope for Tyler to have a breakout too. What I saw last year sort of scared me however... it wasn't a lack of trying or hard work. It was an almost myopic intent of shooting an inaccurate jumper or going 1-on-4 in the paint and very little offensive cohesion, as in kicking the ball out after a rebound or any time really. It was more of a mental thing. He's gotta change his mentality and focus on making the proper play, and also he needs to rebound the ball way better. He's got a good physique for rebounding, and just doesn't utilize it 100%. His focus last year was just not where it should be.
This coming from a big Hansbrough fan, hell he's my avatar.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

He did shoot a respectable 43% from midrange (16' to 23') in 2010-11, which placed him 2nd on the team behind Dahntay Jones (who shot 49% from that region, but on a small sample size). 3rd on the team if you count West's 47% which he put up in NO.
Data from this old (but still good) 8p9s post: http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.co...nd-cold-spots/
Too bad they haven't done a similar post for 2011-12 yet. Hollinger's report mentioned that Roy lead the league in shooting % in the 3' to 15' area (with 47.9%, up from 40.7% the year before), so that would be nice to see.
There seems to be two kinds of answers here. One where a player improve the most from last year and another where a players improvement is more important to the team.
So, for the player who's going to improve the most relative to last year, I'm going Tyler.
For the players whose improvement will be most important to the team, I'm going PG.

If Tyler Hansbrough is the MIP, the Pacers are in serious trouble!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
If Tyler Hansbrough is the MIP, the opponent is in serious trouble!
MI though
I think Danny will be back to the ASG game next year. He should've been there this year, but it's hard to do it as a forward if your stats aren't super big or efficient.
It takes these coach (*cough* intern *cough*) voters more time and especially playoff runs to take notice of improved defense, toughness, leadership and such. See: Aldridge and ZBO.
I think this year Danny's efficiency will be up a little with better backups / pass first point playing some minutes next to him + added experience for starter teammates.
Which will make him an All Star again.
Paul George
And Paul George will be an All Star this year, believe in me....
But with Tyler having a 4.2M qualifying offer coming up and possible 5M or more expected for his next contract, I just don't see him able to provide enough improvement to warrant that kind of contract. Personally, I see him traded before the end of the year.
I think the player likely to improve the most is Hill now that he is concentrating on PG only. I agree with what was said earlier about our offense having the best chance for a marked improvement relying on a similar improvement from Hill. Of course, we are all hoping Paul makes big strides.
I believe West will show improvement physically and with his leadership, that will make him very difficult to part with, regardless of the cost.
Next summer should prove to be even more interesting than this summer.
I think D.J. Augustin will be the most improved from his time in Charlotte to here, I think with better players around him, even on our bench, he will be the most improved. 2nd place I would give it to Paul George
I don't know about DJ Augustine. He brings nice passing, but he is possibly the worst defensive PG in the game. I think Frank will have a hard time keeping him on the court. The drop off from George Hill defensively will be very noticeable and there will be many problems on who can actually play with DJ because of his man driving right past him straight to the hoop. That will really put Roy and DWest in a tough spot.
Back to the OT I think we will see George Hill as MIP on the Pacers. He has the most room to grow into the PG role.
The reason I say the Pacers are in trouble if Hans is the MIP is for several reasons.
Paul should have a lot of improvement and from our side looking in, he should show the most since he has the most potential.
Hill, without a doubt should have a big year as he will jell with the team in the PG position.
Hibbert should show improvement in many different area's for many different reasons. (no need to go there).
West should have a lot of improvement and could see him get back to an All Star state since he should be stronger and mentally trust his knee.
Green should have his best season as a pro and we all know he has tremendous abilities and he seems to be maturing and figuring out how to play in this league. A full season with the Pacers should catapult him into the playoffs.
I'll stop here with these players and just say...
If Hans is MIP this year among this team when Hans has shown absolutely no sign of improvement and actually declined from 2010 to 2011 then what will the other player be like. West would have to be injured or just totally sux for Hans to get enough minutes to even have the opportunity of showing enough improvement to win a MIP. If, Hans just plays a backup role and does improve, then he sure shouldn't deserve MIP over starters or it means the starters didn't improve enough and that will sux. I just don't see Hans as the MIP unless someone sprinkles magic dust on him!
And I'm a huge Hans fan, I would love to see him just play out of his mind and go into a full beast mode with the ability to see his teammates for a dish and to see him drain his 15-18 ft jumper at 50%...Damn, I'd be freakin out!!!

DRIVERS across Worcestershire are being urged to take extra care on the roads – with the wet and icy conditions set to continue.
Frosty conditions are set to continue aross the county this morning, despite temperatures forecast to reach 10C as the day progresses, according to the Met Office.
Patchy rain will also creep in across the county, making conditions treacherous for motorists.
Later, temperatures look set to drop close to zero again overnight reaching a high of 8C (46F) tomorrow and on Friday, with spells of heavy rain on both days as flood waters continue to recede.
The Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (HWFRS) has issued a warning for drivers to be careful as they head out this week, after dealing with seven crashes across the two counties on Monday.
Fire crews attended two incidents in Worcester and Stourport, one in Broadway, one in Redditch and one in Hereford.
Station commander Alan Haley, of the community safety team, said: "While we've had flooded roads to contend with this winter, there's been only a handful of icy mornings and no snow as yet.
"However, we do tend to see an increase in collisions when the roads are icy and so we are keen to encourage motorists, particularly younger drivers who may not have driven on the ice before, to keep an eye on the weather."
One lane of the A44 Worcester Bridge was closed from 9.30am until 2.30pm yesterday so that Western Power Distribution could repair a faulty cable. It followed Monday's rush-hour lane closure, which led to heavy tailbacks.
The Environment Agency say the wet weather means river levels may rise very slightly today but the gauges at Diglis and Kempsey are below the peaks of last Friday.
No new flood warnings are in place but New Street, in Upton-upon-Severn, remains closed.

Successful campaigns to make people more aware of different forms of cancer are putting pressure on provision at Airedale Hospital.
Stacey Hunter, director of operations at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, told fellow trust board members that when these awareness initiatives achieve their goal, Airedale does then have to cope with significant increases in referrals.
"There's been a campaign about breast cancer going on, and we've seen an increase in referrals of more than 70 per cent in the past two weeks," she said.
"This means the campaign is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing, but it does pose challenges for us, as we need to make extra resources available at short notice."

Grab 'Em While (If) You Can...
NECA has discontinued their 8-inch DJANGO UNCHAINED action figures (see our story HERE). The controversy surrounding the toy line originated from complaints issued by Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network. The dolls, based on characters from Quentin Tarantino's anti-slavery western film, were deemed offensive and a national boycott was called on them. Several of the figures represent slaves seen in the movie. Naji Ali, director of the civil rights organization Project Islamic Hope, also called for their removal in a news conference: "I actually enjoyed the movie, but we cannot support this type of commercialization."
Weinstein Co., U.S. distributor for the film, responded with this statement: "In light of the reaction to the 'Django Unchained' action figures, we are removing them from distribution. We have tremendous respect for the audience and it was never our intent to offend anyone."
While this turn of events appears a victory for censorship, NECA's Django Unchained action figures ultimately walk away the real winner. Stock of most all these figures has already long sold out. Up for debate is whether the toy line's sell-out success was a result of the popularity of the movie or the controversy leading up to their discontinuation. One thing is very certain, however: the secondary market for these collectibles is now red hot.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference." --Elie Wiesel
Nothing makes trading more difficult than indifference. Strong emotions create strong moves, and that is what traders need in order to make money. Indifference creates slow and random market movement and provides little opportunity for aggressive action.
The bears keep telling us there are plenty of reasons to dislike and distrust this market, but that simply has not been reflected in the market action. We've had a couple weak days recently, but the downside action has been well-contained as the dip-buyers have stepped up and held us steady. The big problem with the market is that, while the action is positive, there just isn't very much energy. Volume slowed dramatically Monday. We have a few pockets of action, and there is a good supply of stocks at new highs, but there is no strong emotion really driving things.
In an environment like this, it is very tempting to start anticipating the next big move. Traders have a bias toward action, and if there isn't much movement, we often start building positions just to stay busy. There is nothing wrong with accumulating stocks you like, but our judgment can be impaired when we are bored with the action and are just looking for something to do.
The good news is that dull action, like what we are seeing now, is a good setup for strong moves down the road. Traders will be ready to pounce as a new trend looks to be starting, and they will help to push the action once it starts.
What worries me most about this sort of slow movement is that it works to drive away individual investors who make little progress when things are slow and choppy. We are already dominated by the machines that can profit from moves of a fraction of a penny, and these slow markets make them even more dominant.
There isn't much we can do in this sort of environment other than be patient and stay vigilant. The one great certainty in the market is that conditions will change. The bears believe we'll start running into some political issues again, and many will be focused on the President Obama's State of the Union Address Tuesday night as the tipoff of the next battle.
My best advice right now is: Stay focused on the price action, and don't be overly anticipatory. There is still nothing wrong with this market technically, and while the stock picking is limited, there are still opportunities on the long side.
We have a very quiet start once again, and plenty of tiresome political talk. We'll see what develops.

Dee, I have a suggestion for you IF you're hoping for other family members (descendants of your ancestors) to find you. (I don't know if you are or not.) If you transcribe the obituaries and other newspapers clippings and post them on your blog along with scans of the originals, the search engines will pick up the transcriptions.

Well, I've stopped reading Comic books and Graphic Novels back in 2007 when I got "Acidic," my stomach acids rose high and burning me up. This happened cause the money I got for lunch, well, I don't spend it on lunch. I save the money then spend it on Comic Books, then when this happened I stopped. Then two years later, after I've seen The Lovely Bones, I got intrigued to read the Novel since they said that it's very different then it was--I've seen Fight Club at this time, I first seen it when I was ten, I think. Anyway, when I remembered that Fight Club was adapted from Palahnuik's Novel. I went to a bookstore and went to Palahnuik's section, so, I saw Invisible Monsters, Choke, Diary, and Pygmy--this was three months ago--and then Fight Club, bought right away. Then started reading it.
Anyway, I got the idea for this when I saw Kick-Ass then found out that it was a Graphic Novel, so I went to the nearest Comic Book store to look for it, this was after I've seen the flick with my Pops. No dice. But, I saw a couple of Graphic Novels from Stephen king, "The Dark Tower." Even though Fight Club is already a montage, I still would love to read it, again, and again in a comic form?
What do you say?
Or is this just a silly idea of a...newbie? =)

2. Focus on the Employer's Needs, Not Yours.
Focus your attention on what you can do for the company, not what they can do for you. What is the company looking for? Who would be the perfect candidate? What would set you apart from any other candidate? How do your skills match those of the company? Incorporate these thoughts and ideas into your resume.
3. Add testimonials.
To boost your potential as a candidate, add testimonials of two or three people who can vouch for you and include them in your resume. By adding testimonials, your resume will stand out more than a list of references with just names and contact information. If you are uncomfortable with adding testimonials and prefer to use only references, remember to always gather your references beforehand and ask them for their permission when you are ready to send out your resume.
4. Include a Blog.
If you happen to have an industry-related blog site, include this as part of your resume. It will show the employer that you are dedicated to your field, are up to date with current information, and that you spend extra time away from your daily life to maintain your blog. Plus it will provide concrete evidence of your knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Producing a quality and marketable resume may take some time, but the more time you spend perfecting your resume, the better chances you have for potentially landing an interview.

For a while, when obstacles seemed to be increasing, I kept remembering this one DC member's words when I first started going to Kundrolling: "Dzogchen is not an easy path." She said this like 2 or 3 times upon first being introduced to me while she was rummaging around, almost like a mother or something. Actually, I thought, "well, she's annoying, isn't she? What's with the 'Debbie Downer' routine?" I remember wondering why she was saying that and being slightly worried about getting involved because of it, as I looked around at the rest of the members: an old lady was twitching, some of the other members just looked like hapless individuals... It was really a memorable moment where it seemed like a clear warning. I considered running for the hills, but instead decided, "Well, she's annoying. I won't let her discourage me."
I try not to read too much into things like that, but I've been experiencing something similar starting from just before the last retreat (my first webcast) and throughout it. No major obstacles, just some minor unfortunate events at my workplace that seemed to die down by today. I've been doing the Dorje Drolo practice daily.

Episode 81: I Don't Want To Drink This Anymore
Let's keep it short. Let's just do an intimate show. Those were my thoughts heading into Thursday night, and all I really learned is that Jason and I don't know how to stop talking. Our listeners came up big in the email department, we have lots of prospects to talk about, and with the Cubs signing Gerardo Concepcion and the Josh Hamilton story breaking, we had some current events to discuss as well. As always, we hope you enjoy.
Note: We do alert you to the presence of the occasional adult language and subject matter. Don't say we didn't warn you.

That theory by the British expat in Australia about Conservatism in sports makes sense in the abstract (successful athletes work very hard, and because they're successful they don't see or ponder the advantages they have to get where they are), but there's sort of a contradiction: Generally, the people who think they "earned" their position have some base level of privilege that they don't even think about, whereas an athlete from an underprivileged background is more likely to see their position as much more tenuous (e.g., scholarship revoked; stop and frisk by the police; for Latin players in the minors, the threat of being sent home [people forget that Carlos Guillen *corroborated* what Gary Sheffield said]). I think it's the other way around: The *more* privileged the background of the athlete, the more likely they are to be conservative.

Awards for excellence in teaching, scholarship and faculty service granted at Convocation
Muskingum University's Convocation, held August 30 on the campus, three
faculty members were recognized for excellence in teaching, scholarship
and service. The awards were presented by Vice President for Academic
Affairs Dr. James E. Callaghan.
The William Oxley Thompson Award for Excellence
in Teaching was awarded to Dr. William T. Kerrigan, who is the
university's Arthur G. Cole and Eloise Barnes Cole Distinguished
Professor of American History. This award is named in honor of an
alumnus whose career combined teaching, ministry and service as
president of Miami University and The Ohio State University.
Dr. Callaghan said of Dr. Kerrigan, "His
dedication to teaching and – especially – to his students is
well-substantiated, and he has developed ways to not only better connect
with students, but to better enable them to master skills and to
improve their scores. He has been an early adopter of innovative
classroom technologies, but also engages students in what some might
call "old-school" – but no less valuable – ways, engaging students in
historical projects that not only advance knowledge, but also have given
students practical, "hands-on," experience translatable into skills and
opportunities in the workforce."
Dr. Kerrigan joined the faculty in 1997. He
earned his bachelor's degree from Austin College, his master's degree
from Texas Christian University and his doctoral degree from the
University of Michigan.
The William Rainey Harper Award for Outstanding
Scholarship was granted to Associate Professor of English Dr. Jane
Varley. This award is named for an alumnus who was a renowned scholar,
educator and the founder and first president of the University of
Dr. Callaghan said, "Dr. Varley is an inspiring
teacher and an extraordinary writer, with a strong sense of not only
narrative, but of place and of the inner essence of things, people, and
experience. Dr. Varley's greatest recent achievement was her work with
our late softball coach, Donna Newberry, on the autobiography, You Must Play to Win. Her latest publication of poetry– Sketches at the Naesti Bar – impressively places the reader alongside her during recent visits to Iceland."
Dr. Varley joined the faculty in 2000. She earned
both her bachelor's and master's degree from the University of Idaho
and her doctoral degree from the University of North Dakota. \The Cora
I. Orr Faculty Service Award was bestowed upon Professor of Music Dr.
Joyce Alesandrini. It is named in honor of a Muskingum faculty member
and administrator who served the university with devotion and
distinction for four decades.
Of Dr. Alesandrini's achievements at the
university, Dr. Callaghan said, "Dr. Alesandrini embodies the essence of
collegiality, possesses an inspiring ability to lead from within, as a
team player, while also providing tremendous service to the institution
as a whole. In 2009, she took on the task of chair of the Music
Department, successfully orchestrating the move of the department into
the new Otto and Fran Walter Hall and overseeing the building's
Dr. Alesandrini joined the faculty in 1990. She
earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Wyoming, her
master's degree from Northwestern University and her doctoral degree
from The Ohio State University.

Montero OK after taking bat to head behind plate
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Catcher Jesus Montero was struck on the side of the head by a bat in the second inning of the Mariners' game Saturday against the Indians at Peoria Stadium, and was carted off the field.
Montero, with a towel on the right side of his head, gave a thumbs-up to the crowd as he sat on the cart with training staff attending to him on the way back to the team's clubhouse.
"He's got a good-sized bump on his head, but he was OK out there," manager Eric Wedge said.
General manager Jack Zduriencik said Montero did not sustain a concussion, but the team is keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old catcher to ensure he's OK.
Francisco Lindor, a left-handed batter, swung through a Blake Beaven pitch, and as his swing wrapped around his body, the head of the bat struck Montero in the right side of the head. Montero went down immediately, and was on the ground for several minutes as the Mariners and Indians trainers attended to him before they helped him to his feet and onto the cart.
Montero has been hitting the ball well all spring, going 12-for-34 with six doubles. He was 0-for-1 before being struck on the head.
The club won't know until Sunday at the earliest how soon Montero will be able to return to action.
"We'll see," Wedge said. "I think he's going to have trouble getting a helmet on with the size of that bump on his head."

I am lacking a sense of urgency to avoid rebirth as an animal. Thoughts of birth in the unspeakable cruelty of hell seems like persecutory delusions, and hungry ghost sounds extremely deprived which my generosity should avoid, but I've been complacent that at least I would be a very rich ant. I have the idea that if I was a tiny insect I would have a greatly reduced carbon footprint and consumption.
I think the Buddha compared rebirth in the animal realm as falling into a sewer. Anyone have a link?
Thanks / dhammapal.

Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Freezer burn doesn't make food unsafe - instead it affects the texture and composition of the food. Freezer burn occurs when frozen food has become damaged by ice crystals, because of air reaching the food. Frozen food is more prone to freezer burn in an automatic defrosting freezer because of the fluctuating temperatures inside the freezer.

We all cheered in December when lawmakers in Mexico City passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples. Now comes word that Mexico's attorney general, Arturo Chavez, has lodged an appeal with the country's highest court to overturn the marriage and adoption equality law.
Chavez claims the law is "anti-constitutional."
But supporters of the law say Chavez is waaaaaaayyyyy overstepping his bounds. Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard says Chavez has made "a grave mistake" and that it isn't the federal AG's job to decide the capital's laws. And leftist deputy David Razu, the legislator that initiated the law, says Chavez's challenge has no basis in law and goes against rights and freedoms.

WEST PARK, Fla. - A man who has operated a pit bull kennel in the town of West Park said his fight with neighbors and the city will soon be over.
Reno Yohai told Local 10 he is trying to adopt out the pit bulls that are currently on his property.
At one time, Yohai had 30 pit bulls at his home on Southwest 32nd Avenue, but he is now down to 15. Many are in cages and chained to trees in the front and back of the property.
Yohai said the community backlash and the fact he can't take care of all the dogs by himself has led him to give them up.
The city of West Park has levied fines now totaling $50,000 for operating a kennel in a residential neighborhood.
Neighbors said the place is not safe and the animals are abused living in those conditions.
The Broward Sheriff's Office has had abuse and neglect investigators at the house several times.
"They are fed and have water. They have all their shots. They are not in any distress, so at this time, it?s not an animal cruelty issue. It becomes a code/nuisance issue," said Chief Chris McKinstry, of the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Yohai said if he did not rescue the dogs they would be euthanized.
Neighbors call it abuse and say he's selling the dogs for profit.
"My heart is in the right place. My kennel isn't," Yohai said.

Obama speech must outline vision, analyst saysPosted: Updated:
Barack Obama's speech tonight must contain a vision for where he wants to take the country, according to a University of North Carolina at Charlotte professor who has written a book analyzing the President's speeches and writings.
Dr. Richard Leeman said Obama can't simply say he is offering more of the same; he needs to say where the country is going.
"Obama consistently portrays freedom and equality as essential to human nature and the American spirit...Those themes have been used throughout his speeches and writing, and have also been carried throughout the Democratic National Convention," said Leeman.
He predicts Obama will use the podium to remind people how far the country has come in improving opportunity.
"One of his favorite metaphors is that of a journey," Leeman said. "I think you will see a lot of that type of rhetoric in his speech."

Making The Film
Using The Film
Halsted Street USA
Nowhere in America does a stretch of pavement slice through a more vibrant and diverse cross-section of humanity than Chicago's Halsted Street. Along its length one can view a dozen nationalities, a thousand lifestyles -- the American melting pot at full boil. But who are the people who make up the stew? This riveting, kaleidoscopic "road movie" traces this unique thoroughfare nearly 400 miles, from its origin in the cornfields of southern Illinois to its terminus in the city's boisterous heart. Along the way the film presents a fascinating and profoundly American cultural mosaic with Halsted Street as the thread that links a multitude of seemingly disparate communities.
The film journeys northward from the heartland of rural Illinois to the mostly African-American and impoverished south side of Chicago; from Bridgeport, home to five generations of an Irish family named Daley, to Pilsen, hub of Chicago's Hispanic community; from the colorful chaos of the Maxwell Street Market to the high-rise ghettos of the Cabrini Green public housing project; and from the yuppie boutiques and blues clubs of Lincoln Park to Lakeview, where Halsted is the backbone of Chicago's gay community. A varied and colorful cast of characters guides viewers along the route: kids in a rural town, a Latino street-muralist in Pilsen, a junk scavenger in Cabrini Green, revelers at the gay pride parade. Their impressions and anecdotes bring into focus vital issues that simmer up from the asphalt of main streets all across the country: tolerance and racism, immigration, class disparity, ethnic and cultural identity.
Narrated by Studs Terkel, Halsted Street, USA is a thought-provoking crash-course in American cultural geography that will enhance a variety of courses in American studies and history, popular culture, sociology, and ethnic studies and multiculturalism. It was produced by David E. Simpson.
Students really get the lowdown on Chicago's complex social life while traveling up Halsted Street. Rural and urban, red neck and blue blood, racists and radicals all find a place along the journey. The film explores even the nastiest social conflicts and still finds cause to celebrate the diversity of cities. Students will find the mix of gritty tales and urban pleasures hard to ignore. Stereotypes dissolve along the journey. Who would believe that traveling a straight ribbon of aging asphalt could provide such powerful insights about the twists and turns of real city life? But it does. Bravo!

This unique formula now contains increased amounts of ingredients you depend on for your dog's joint health. Phycox formulas are blends of more than a dozen effective joint-support ingredients that can provide just the amount your dog needs. All formulations offer a sturdy joint-sustaining matrix for healthy synovial maintenance as well as bone and muscle support.
In addition to glucosamine HCl, a powerful ingredient inherent in healthy joints, Phycox also contains a patented form of the blue-green algae phycocyanin, a rich source of phytonutrients, which offers strong joint support two ways.
Phycox products also include a proprietary mix of other antioxidants as well as individual antioxidants, which serve and enhance the immune-supportive function as phycocyanin does. Different antioxidants work on different pathways to support a healthy immune system. In addition, all Phycox formulations contain Omega-3 fatty acids, which enhance the efficacy of joint support ingredients such as glucosamine. Also in this mix are MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), dietary sulfur used for normal cartilage production, turmeric, a botanical extract from the roots of the Curcuma longa plant, the mineral boron, required for normal bone metabolism, and creatine, an amino acid found in skeletal muscle. Normal bone and muscle strength are essential for the support of joints.
Phycox now has 11% more glucosamine, 150% more MSM, 20% more creatine, more than twice as many Omega-6 fatty acids, and nearly 127% more of Phycox's proprietary bioflavonoid blend than previous Phycox formulations. 3/4" liver-flavored nuggets.
Phycox MAX, geared for the mature dog, contains the same proven active ingredients as Phycox AND has a full 3X more of the unique active ingredient, Phycocyanin (Phycox), PLUS herbal ingredients/minerals that address normal weight, healthy immune system, normal urinary system, and cardiac health. 3/4" liver flavored nuggets.
For sensitive dogs, Phycox HA (HypoAllergenic) Soft Chews and Phycox MAX HA (HypoAllergenic) Soft Chews have the same effective ingredients as their Phycox and Phycox MAX counterparts, but contain no meat products, and are delicious for your dog. 3/4" nuggets.
All Phycox products are now a better value, since the maintenance amount for most dogs is one or less soft chew daily. Made in the USA.

10 Ways to Live Happier, Saner, and Sweeter This Month
The thyroid gland controls metabolism, and if it's underactive, you may be chilly more often than not. "Standard blood tests miss low thyroid in about half of people," says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic! If the test comes back normal, but you're still having trouble, you may want to ask a holistic doctor for a second opinion. He or she may try prescribing thyroid medication anyway to see if it works. Find a board-certified doctor here.
Iron is needed to deliver oxygen to your cells for energy, and low levels could explain why you're feeling cold. "If you're not making enough energy because of low iron, your thermostat may get stuck and can't be turned up high enough, so you feel cold," says Dr. Teitelbaum. Ask your doc for a ferritin blood test and make sure your levels are over 60 — even though the normal range is said to start around 18 — to ensure that you have adequate iron. You can boost levels in your body by eating iron-rich foods such as grass-fed red meats, liver, and oysters, as well as by taking over-the-counter supplements.

SYSA In The Local Community
The sport of soccer is more than a pastime – it enriches players' lives physically, mentally and emotionally. The life lessons our youth can learn through soccer are limitless and we are committed to fostering the physical, emotional and mental growth of all youth in Sudbury by bringing them the opportunity of soccer.
Sudbury Youth Soccer's Community Outreach programs provide a platform to address nutrition, education and social inclusion issues. Our members lead a healthy lifestyle through the sport of soccer. It also works to provide soccer gear to players outside our community though donations of used equipment.
In 2010, SYSA worked with Dream Big!. Over two hundred balls were donated and distributed for youth girl's programs in the greater Boston area. Dream Big! helps low-income and homeless girls achieve their dreams by providing the basic items necessary to enable them to participate in sports and physical activity, helping to lay the foundation for healthy, active lifestyles and quality learning experiences
Also in 2010, used balls were donated to Acton-Boxboro's Cleats for Kids program. AB teams were collecting used equipment that still had life for distribution to kids that really wanted to play soccer, but didn't have the gear.
In 2011, SYSA has donated balls to Sudbury Extended Day and participated in the LSHS Spanish Club's equipment drive for kids in Peru.
In 2012 working with the US Soccer Federation, SYSA participated in the Passback Campaign. We were partnered with South End Soccer in Boston and collected over 100 pairs of cleats and other soccer equipment. South End Soccer is a start-up league that bring soccer to city players at no charge.
In 2013, SYSA made a donation to the JWBrine III foundation, http://www.jwbrineiiifoundation.org, to help start the scholarship program. We also worked again with the Dream Big! charity donating many experienced soccer balls for their programs.

There are few things in this life that give me more joy and more pleasure than seeing a truly great performance. I have gone on and on about this topic for the majority of my life. Rather than yet again sharing my thoughts on acting and performance, I decided to cull my top ten favorite quotes on this art from those who do it best: the performers and their directors, many of whom appear on our lists in some form or another. Whether riffing on what it takes to deliver the goods, or whom they think delivers the goods, the following people have been amongst my greatest teachers, and not just because many of them tend to bring up Gena Rowlands. Interviewing (and in some cases working with) these incredible artists, and gaining some insight into their processes and what inspires them, has forever changed the way I look at acting and what is required of someone to give a truly impeccable performance for film. Yes, we are beginning the list with a list. Read the full introduction.
Walter Huston
The Devil and Daniel Webster
(William Dieterle, 1941)
The Devil and Daniel Webster
William Dieterle
Film history is rife with stories of now-classic films ill-treated by their studios because they just didn't know what they had. William Dieterle's 1941 The Devil and Daniel Webster, a surprisingly unconventional take on Stephen Vincent Benét's short story, deserves a place of honor in their company, if not quite next to The Magnificent Ambersons and Blade Runner, then at least somewhere on the same shelf.
Walter Huston's performance as the charming, urbane, and supremely self-confident Mr. Scratch is the key to the film; he doesn't get much screen time, and has even less dialogue, but he's hands down the most memorable character in the film. It's a nuanced performance for the ages, and yet RKO downplayed Huston's character in their publicity for the film, changing the title to the generic All That Money Can Buy and issuing posters suggesting the film was a conventional domestic melodrama, with no devil in sight. Right, that story about the handsome young farmer who gets led astray—do you remember who played Jabez Stone? Neither do I. Even the other title character, Daniel Webster, was played by two actors (Thomas Mitchell and Edward Arnold), and they're both in the final cut of the film. A similar substitution for the role of Mr. Scratch is unthinkable.
If it weren't for Huston's performance, The Devil and Daniel Webster would be relegated to lecture halls where film students would dutifully catalogue its expressionist elements and cultural history classes would write tedious papers about its critique of the American banking system. Huston steals the show with a performance more imp-like in it's physicality than devilish or evil, popping up in the most unexpected places, doing the most unexpected things—chomping on carrots in the barn, pouring drinks at the bar, playing the bass drum in the town band—always with a twinkle in his eye while his attention remains fixed on the main chance. This devil is fun, seductive, even, and he knows it—he's always immensely pleased with himself, and he doesn't need to pressure anyone to do business with him, because if one transaction fails, there's always a world full of potential customers that will fall prey to his services. Sarah Boslaugh
Madeline Kahn
(Jonathan Lynn, 1985)
Jonathan Lynn
As the icy playing-card-come-to-life Mrs. White in the 1985 cult comedy Clue—the delightfully vaudevillian live action adaptation of the ubiquitous board game—Madeline Kahn somehow manages to chew the scenery while barely even opening her mouth. Impossibly frigid in demeanor and rigid in movement, Kahn's lady in black is wide eyed, creepily tranquil, and full of mostly-kept secrets. As the body count rises and the film's absurdities escalate, Kahn keeps up with, and possibly exceeds, her fellow cast mates' slapstick hamming with an expert restraint, providing a contrast that serves to only highlight the true bravado of her performance: Kahn is at her finest not when she's speaking, but when she's squeaking—throughout the film she hilariously emits tiny gasps and hiccups and twee wheezes that say more about her character than any scripted dialogue can and are testament to a kind of innate comedic timing that no training or director can cultivate.
And when Mrs. White finally does get her moment, when her character's closet door is kicked down and the skeletons come tumbling out, it is in Kahn's spectacular ability to tell, not show, that makes her frenetic monologue so iconic. As she attempts to rationally describe her deep rage toward a recently offed party guest, she tells in sparse detail how the sight of said victim incites the feeling of "flames on the side of [her] face". In the hands—or out of the mouth—of a lesser actress, one without the confidence to circumvent melodrama in favor of subtlety—this moment could have easily turned into a loud, fever-pitched, full-bodied whirling dervish.
Kahn, however, defies expectation and surprises and delights with a staid delivery that makes us howl with laughter because this kind of blind, nearly in-articulable anger rings stunningly true in a film otherwise brimming with preposterousness. While cliché—and the instructions in the box—might dictate that Mrs. White is most likely to exact her revenge with a pistol (or a wrench or a candlestick) in the billiard (or the kitchen or the study), Kahn understands that it's the hateful side squint from beneath her ink-black bob that can really do you in.

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. - West Bloomfield police have released the 911 call from Officer Patrick O'Rourke's deadly shooting on Sept. 9.
O'Rourke was shot and killed that night by a gunman, Ricky Coley, who later took his own life after a day-long standoff at the house on Forest Edge Lane in West Bloomfield.
The calls reveal that officers were aware of the situation at Coley's house before they arrived. They tried to call him on his phone. The one 911 call from that night came from Coley's own family.
His brother told the 911 operator that he and their mother was in the house. They were trying to get Coley to come out of the house. They were trying to get him to come and live with them.
"My brother has barricaded himself in his room," Coley's brother told the 911 operator.
911: "And he has a gun?"
Caller: "Yes ma'am. He has several guns."
At the time of the call, Coley's brother had gotten his mother out of the home. They were outside waiting for police to arrive. Police did not enter the house immediately upon arriving.
Officers, in the statement released Monday, talk of how they carefully went into the home, announced themselves and told Coley they were there. Next, shots were fired.

Jimmie Johnson's chances of winning for the first time at Michigan International Speedway ended early Sunday.
Johnson had to start at the rear of the field after wrecking in practice and was marching through the field when he had engine problems.
Johnson, who leads the Sprint Cup points standings, raced from last to 15th in the first 40 laps and had just taken the lead during green-flag pit stops. But just after pitting under green, his engine sputtered and soured, sending him to the garage.

"The engine broke," Johnson said. "When we came in for our green-flag pit stop, something happened and we eventually dropped a cylinder.
"We had plenty of speed and we were going to be a factor. … It happens. I hope we get it all out of the way now."

Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- Survey results released Wednesday by customer experience management firm Empathica Inc. revealed that customer service is the key driver of brand advocacy in retail pharmacy.
In the survey, during which the Empathica Consumer Insights Panel surveyed consumers on their perception, attitude and opinion towards the retail pharmacy experience, Kroger ranked highest in customer service among both mass and small-chain pharmacies.
The top six pharmacies in terms of market share are Costco, CVS, Kroger, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Walmart. Of these pharmacies, Kroger received top marks in nearly all customer service categories, including choice, service and trust.
Four-out-of-five Kroger customers agree or strongly agree that they would recommend their pharmacy to friends and family. For other brands, only about 40% surveyed would advocate for their primary pharmacy.
"Retail pharmacies can create a 'win-win' relationship with consumers by providing exemplary customer service; in turn, there is an opportunity for customers to 'work' for their primary pharmacy as brand advocates," said Dr. Gary Edwards, chief customer officer, Empathica. "There is little room for winning a price war in pharmacy retail. The real battlefront for pharmacies is in customer service and convenience."
While the survey results showed a strong link between customer service and customer advocacy, there are several areas where pharmacies can make adjustments to enhance the customer experience. Of the three mass retailers (Walmart, Kroger, Costco) and three specialty drug chain retailers (Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid), results showed that both types of pharmacies can improve by learning from the other's best practices.
Empathica found that mass retailers are lacking in terms of providing loyalty programs. Only one-third of mass retail pharmacy customers indicated that they are aware of loyalty programs, compared to 43% of specialty drug chain retail customers.
Specialty drug chain retailers can look to mass retailers as exemplars in providing in-store promotions. While only 32% of specialty drug chain retail customers answered that they "always" find attractively-priced promotions, 44% of mass retail customers had the same response to this question. It appears that while mass retailers capitalize on buyer power to offer the best deal, specialty drug chain retailers are better suited to relying on loyalty programs.

Last year I wrote about investing in companies that supply the basic needs of food and shelter as a follow-up to another column where I discussed how economies operate much like Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs in the sense that consumers allocate cash flow to basic needs first. Consequently, investing in these areas is a safer and more defensive strategy than investing in other areas, though it may not be as glamorous. And since it's been more than six months since I last reviewed defensive investment strategies, I thought I'd revisit the subject.
Regarding food retailers, I initially focused on Wal-Mart (WMT), Kroger (KR) and Safeway (SWY). While it's been a rocky few years for Safeway, Kroger and Wal-Mart have been relatively steady. But the interesting story here is Safeway. I originally advised buying it as a defensive play in October 2011 when it was about $17. Since then it's gone to $23, then back to $15, and now back to nearly $23, closing 14% higher today. Even as SWY slid to $15 from $22 in the first half of 2012, I advised owning it -- but I couldn't explain the decline in price. Despite concerns about the consumer base being siphoned away by discounters and high-end chains, as I discussed in July 2012, the fundamental story was still strong.
Safeway pays a solid dividend of 3.4%, as do KR and WMT at 2.2% and 2.3%, respectively. Yet I still can't figure out why the price of SWY stock fell so hard in the first half of 2012. It's not just a talking point, though. We've owned SWY for our clients looking for income throughout this economic roller coaster ride. The dividend was strong and we believe it continues to be safe.
As the stock price slid, I was asked why it was happening. My response all along has been that I don't know. Sometimes these things happen for reasons that have little or nothing to do with the common metrics, logic and rationale investors have been trained to look for. It's an uncomfortable position to be in to watch a stock slide and not be able to explain why while keeping your cool in the process. I don't know what will happen to the price from here, but the dividend is safe for income investors.
Wal-Mart has moved to $70 from around $60 in the past year and Kroger has gone to $28 from $24. It is possible that investors finally figured out that the fundamental story for the grocery-store industry and the price of the stocks in that space was better reflected by the performance of KR and WMT than SWY. For whatever reason, the price of SWY stock didn't track the other two. These things happen all the time, even in very basic and easy-to-understand industries and companies.

LIONISED like few other popular figures of the 19th Century he was singularly acknowledged as 'Hero of the Two Worlds' for his unremitting endeavours on behalf of embattled masses fighting for freedom and independence on either side of the Atlantic.
Russian peasants carried icons of him, during the American Civil War the Union and the Confederacy both sought his patronage, to the Italians he remains father of their nation and the British honoured him in their own idiosyncratic way. That's right, they named a biscuit after him.
It is a little-known fact that exactly 150 years ago the great revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi caused scenes of uproar, joy and exhilaration in the burgeoning railway town of Swindon.
With the exception of world war victory celebrations, such a public display of unbridled zeal was probably not repeated here until over a century later when some chaps returned from Wembley with a splendid three handled trophy triumphantly tucked under their collective arm.
Between his numerous military and political campaigns involving struggles for liberation in Italy, France, Uruguay and Brazil, Garibaldi briefly came to England in 1864 and an exhibition is currently running in the capital to mark the occasion's 150th anniversary.
At one stage during the proceedings he was on a train which stopped in Swindon… a break that by sheer force of public demand was extended for some time so that the people of this town – and in particular, its force of GWR factory workers – could cheer their hearts out and have a good old gander at a true living legend.
We know this because the event was recorded by Frederick Large in his book of recollections and memories, A Swindon Retrospective 1855-1930 (Red Brick Publishing).
The population of Swindon at this time – that is, the ancient village on the hill and the new town springing up around the fledgling railway works – was, give or take a few births and deaths, 7,287.
Fred (1852-1934) was 12 years old when Garibaldi fever gripped the community. Sadly, he gives no indication as to where the train was going or where it had come from: perhaps the "the famous emancipator of slavery in Italy," as Fred refers to him, had sailed to Bristol and was on his way to London.
However, while writing about the event more than 60 years later, he nicely re-captured the buzz at Swindon station as a loco conveying the international hero rolled in.
"It caused no little excitement in the town, especially amongst the (GWR) factory employees," he recalled.
"All the men came out of the Works, down the line, to meet the train, which had scarcely drawn up before the roofs of the carriages were scaled from one end of the train to the other, so eager were they to catch a glimpse of the warrior, whose name had become a household name throughout the world.
"Imagine my gratification when, although quite a youngster, I found myself, to my great surprise, immediately opposite the door of the carriage from which Garibaldi and his notable fellow passengers made their exit and went to the refreshment rooms."
It is not difficult to imagine Fred relishing the memory, perhaps experiencing a goosebump or two, as he typed on: "I seized an opportunity to touch the hem of his garment."
"And to think that I had accomplished such a feat raised me in my own estimation very much indeed. Long and continued cheering greeted the arrival and departure of the train."
- Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807 –1882) was an Italian general, politician and liberator who played a huge role in the history of Italy.
He personally commanded and fought in numerous military campaigns that led, after many years, to the formation of a unified Italy.
He has been called the 'Hero of Two Worlds' because of his military enterprises in Brazil and Uruguay as well as Italy and also on behalf of the Republic in France.
His exploits earned him a considerable international reputation and many of the era's greatest intellectuals and writers, such as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, showered him with praise.
Britain and the United States helped him a great deal, offering financial and military support in difficult circumstances.
He is also associated with the red shirts worn by his volunteers in lieu of a uniform.
- When Garibaldi arrived in England in 1864 his reception was considered unprecedented for a foreign visitor.
He was greeted by vast crowds, met the Prince of Wales and dined with politicians and nobility.
He was also seen by thousands of ordinary working people at specially organised rallies.
The great liberator planted trees, signed visitors books and was awarded honorary memberships of numerous bodies while souvenirs and books were produced to commemorate the visit.
The Garibaldi in London exhibition lasts until August 29 at the Library and Museum of Freemasonry.

The milestone is significant, as the availability of apps is becoming an increasingly important factor weighed by users in their mobile phone buying decisions. Samsung Apps was launched in September 2009 in European and Asian countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Germany, and is now available in 34 countries in Europe and 109 markets worldwide.
The decision by the Seoul, Korea-based electronics giant to release its own proprietary smartphone platform last year was seen as a questionable move in an already crowded smartphone market. Bada means "ocean" in Korean.
The top three downloads for Samsung phones are the car racing game Need for Speed Shift; Magic Torch, which transforms a phone into a flashlight; and My Mirror, which lets users view their reflections in a mirror. But Samsung still trails far behind Apple, which announced last January that some three billion applications had been downloaded for its iPhone and iPod Touch devices, and Nokia, whose Ovi Store is doing some two million downloads a day.
The phone maker received other good news this week when its first Bada-powered smartphone, the Wave, topped one million in sales in Europe. The device was launched last February and features a 3.3-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, a 1GHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
Samsung said more Bada-operated devices are planned to further the popularity of Samsung Apps, which offers game, news, social networking, navigation, music, health, and other mobile apps. A user's specific phone model will automatically display the application catalog for that device, the phone maker said. The Bada platform can also be found on some Samsung TV sets.

NICK Blackwell earned a host of admirers with his hearty display against Billy Joe Saunders last December and the Trowbridge fighter is looking to build on the buzz with two fights in the space of three weeks in March.
'Bang Bang' Blackwell, 22, will top the bill in front of his home crowd on Friday March 2 when he takes on tough Latvian Ruslans Pojonisevs, who has been in the ring with the likes of Patrick Mendy, Cellow Renda and Blackwell's regular sparring partner Chris Eubank Jr, at Trowbridge's Civic Hall.
Then on Thursday, March 21, Blackwell will come face-to-face with Saunders again – but the pair won't be renewing hostilities for the British and Commonwealth middleweight titles as the Trowbridge man boxes on the undercard of the former Olympian's televised first defence of those belts against Matthew Hall at the famous York Hall in London.
Blackwell's Contender Gym trainer Mark Kent says his fighter is looking to the future after the added respect he gained in the wake of his double-title challenge against Saunders.
"Nick may have lost that fight but he's lived to fight another day," said Kent.
"He's been getting praised up from everywhere and he even had a phone call from Francis Warren (son of top promoter Frank) , who took the time out to say 'we underestimated you' and to apologise for announcing his name wrong at one of the press conferences.
"PJ (Rowson, Blackwell's promoter) spoke to Frank Warren and that's how him fighting on the undercard of the Saunders fight comes about. We're just waiting to see who he'll be up against.
"He'll be doing six rounds in both fights and the lad he's against in Trowbridge is very tough. He's been in with some good people and he took Eubank Jr eight rounds so stopping him would be a big statement."

It's something our parents tried to instill in us all. But it's also something some of us have forgotten over the years. And now, with people being as busy as they are, it might have gone by the wayside entirely.
I went to a dining etiquette workshop on Monday afternoon at Campbellsville University. Look in Monday's issue for photos from the event.
If you build it, they will come.
The old saying will hold true, I'm sure, for two new homes in Taylor County, The House of Hope and J&W's House of Hope. You can read about the homes on today's front page.
The concept is simple - a handful of residents got together and are turning two houses into transitional homes for those who have battled drug addiction.
I owned three pairs of shoes when this story began.
A pair of shoes showed up at my house a few years back. That's not all that unusual, except these showed up by themselves, with no one attached.
I was coming up the drive to the garage one day when I saw a plastic Walmart bag with something in it lying against the house. There's always something laying around our house, mostly kids, so my curiosity wasn't peaked until a couple of days later. The bag was still there.
If you were to insist that what makes the Bible a special book is not its outward appearance - whether it's bound in leather or cloth, colored bright pink or plain brown - but what's inside - its message, meaning, and purpose - I would heartily agree.
But then again, the very presence of the Good Book can not only speak to the soul, it can even save a life.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney couldn't have known the danger in the words they wrote with the Beatles first major hit, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
"And please say to me, you'll let me hold your hand."
In case you haven't heard, holding and shaking hands can be hazardous to your health.
It's hard to believe it's been a year. And what a year it's been.
I will admit it; I'm one of those who thought it wouldn't happen. We would never have enough money. People wouldn't want higher taxes to pay for it. But here we are, and it's all paid for.
The new Taylor County Public Library opened its doors last March, after years and years of planning, saving and hoping.
And on Tuesday, March 18, library staff members will host a party to celebrate the first birthday in their new building.
Entertainment isn't hard to find in most places these days, and I've lived in a few places that had more than their share. But for me, Campbellsville does it as good as any smaller community I've ever lived or worked in, hands down.
On Feb. 4, the Kentucky Senate passed a bill that would allow heavier semi-trailer trucks hauling poultry, livestock and agricultural products to travel on all state and local roads, raising the maximum weight from 80,000 pounds to 88,000 pounds.
The curtain has fallen on the games of the 22nd winter Olympiad. The host country, Russia, was the overall winner with 33 total medals, while the United States finished with 28 total medals. But in my opinion, we, the viewers, also came away with a win because we were given a couple of weeks of entertainment like no other on TV.
As I sat in McDonald's last week, in one of the seemingly rare moments I have that's not in full-on rush mode, I noticed an old couple eating lunch with what was presumably their grandson at the next table down from me.
The kid was maybe 8 or 9 years old, undoubtedly off from yet another day of school.
This is where I would normally describe him in greater detail, but the only way I would have been of any help in that department was if he had committed a crime and was in a lineup.

A bill aimed at eliminating Pennsylvania's inheritance tax, more commonly known as the "death tax," on small businesses has been sent to Gov. Tom Corbett.Ā
The prime sponsor of the Senate Bill 303 is state Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-9, of Chester.
"The number one issue in Pennsylvania right now is jobs, and most jobs are created by small and medium-sized businesses," Pileggi said in prepared statement. "The fastest way to break up a successful small business is to impose a tax when the owner dies and tries to transfer that business to their family. Under current law, the family is often forced to sell the company, or borrow money, just to pay the death tax."
Pileggi introduced the bill earlier this year. He said he introduced the bill because he believed family-owned, small businesses should be exempted from the so-called death tax so that they can pass the business down to the next generation.
Pileggi's bill was recently included in an amendment to House Bill 465 which contains several amendments to Pennsylvania's tax code, according to Pileggi's spokesman Erik Arneson.
The bill has been sent to Corbett who is expected to sign it into law, according to Arneson.
Under the new law, businesses with 50 or fewer employees and a net book value of assets of less than $5 million will be exempt from the state inheritance tax which is currently 4.5 percent for lineal heirs and 12 percent for siblings. In order to qualify for the exception, a business must continue to be operated as a family business for at least seven years following the transfer.
