This space for rent.
I didn't completely pay attention either but I did hear a couple things.
Donny Walsh is back. He's replacing Larry who decided to play for the Celtics again. I guess they're going for one last finals run.
The Magic where holding out on trading Howard, this whole time, until they got Al Harrington in the deal.
You can probably find some stuff here (even though "football" is in the site name, they also talk about basketball I guess): http://walterfootball.com/nbadraftoffseasonblog.php
Sorry that I'm making you read bleacherreport...but there is also this:
How far back of a recap are we looking at?
In no particular order:
Portland offered Roy Hibbert a lot of money.
George Hill on the other hand was signed rather quickly, then PD almost rioted when it was disclosed how much he was signed for.
Dwight Howard was going to New Jersey
Paul George spent time in Vegas with the US Olympic Team instead of working on his ball handling.
Dwight Howard was going to Houston
Roy Hibbert talked to a radio producer in Portland who called him while Roy was eating breakfast with his family
Someone who was fortunately not the Pacers offered Eric Gordon a ******** of money. PD went into mourning.
The required OJ Mayo to Indiana speculation occured
Dwight Howard was going to Istanbul
A "Just Say No to Chris Kaman" Twitter campaign was started
Someone chased down Roy Hibbert in the Washington to stop him from getting on a plane to Portland
Paul George spent time working on his shot instead of working on his ball handling.
The Pacers traded Darren and Dahntay for Ian Mahimi. PD lost what little teneous grip of reality it had left.
OJ Mayo signed with Dallas
The Magic nearly traded Dwight Howard to themselves.
DJ Augustine signed and most of PD was still too busy rioting over the Mahimi deal to really take notice.
Gerald Green signed and everyone started following one of two fake Gerald Green twitters.
Roy and George signed and PD rioted because Scola and Brand were amnestied right after the press conference.
People complained about Paul George not working on his ball handling
Somebody resurrected a discussion about Brandon Rush's 3pt shooting
Someone accused a PDer of being Walshs' son in law
Dwight Howard was actually traded to LA
Paul George went to China and threw down a dunk that left Lebron in awe. People thought he should have been working on his ball handling instead.
... I think I'm up to August 25th...

the overpaying of george hill
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Paul George is changing his jersey number next year, so that he can play for the Lakers in two years...
Edit Signature
You forgot that PG hired a coach to work on his handles. And he's actually been working on his handles since May. I guess since he didn't tweet that everyone just assumed he wasn't doing it.
Hill=slightly overpaid, but not grossly. I do think he would have gotten less if the Pacers let the market dictate Hill's salary instead of just offering him a deal within 24 hours after the start of the offseason.
Ian=Good deal. He put up #'s similar to Robin Lopez and Robin is making $1M more/yr.
Green=Great deal. Comes with an "if". If he plays like he did with the Nets, this is the steal of the summer.
DJ=Good deal. He was a starter for a bad team. I think he'll be a solid backup.
Drafted Plumlee - supposedly a Foster-clone, but they only drafted him cause he
neverbarely played in college and he turned out an excellent draft workout by jumping out of the gym. Apparently a 7ft player that can jump really high is worth a first rounder now. Not to mention he's like 25 years old and still considered a project...yeah. Passed on guys that slipped like Moultrie, Teague and PJIII (could have been our version of RGIII, damn!). Def not my first, second, third, or fourth choice, I still think he ends up winning the backup PF spot by end of year, only cause I have 0 faith in Hans.
Drafted OJ - Pacers figured they were going to get an OJ on the team one way or the other. He's similar to Lance in size and strength, but can shoot and never passes the ball. Passed on other players with more talent like Will Barton and Quincy Miller. If the Pacers decide to keep Sam Young, I'm not even sure he makes the team (unless he's guaranteed).
Not a great draft, and while I'm critical, it wasn't a bad draft either. Hard to get good talent when you are picking late (which is a good thing), however, there were more talented guys on the board. I guess I'm tired of boring picks. Talented players don't normally come to Indiana. Sometimes you have to take a chance, especially when you already have a deep roster. PJIII and Quincy Miller/Will Barton could have just sat for a year or two honing their skills (gaining some weight). It's not like Plumlee or OJ will play a lot this year. Would have been smarter to bring in guys that have deep talent, but are projects. Just my opinion.
All in all, I think the Pacers had one hell of an offseason. You know that deep bench the Pacers were supposed to have last year? Well, they actually have a deep bench this year! Boom, baby!
Let's start the season already. At least I can start my season, Oct 2 when I get my copy of 2K13. Although My Player will get the starting job for the Pacers by the first 20-30 games. I only say this, cause I'm not sure if I'll suck in the Rookie Showcase to get drafted by the Pacers, or blow up get drafted as high as possible and work to get traded to Indiana (which has never been easy in previous 2Ks for some reason).

First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Plumlee's incredibly divisive. And he should be, I don't like the pick, but it's grown on me. A lot of "he didn't show his offensive arsenal at Duke" talk/turd polishing. I'm skeptical. But Brad Miller was the same way at Purdue, and we all know what kind of spot shooter he turned out to be, so there is a precedent.
Miller was a productive offensive player at Purdue and later became an NBA all-star. Plumlee has shown far more athleticism but not so much skill.
Miller was an inside player at Purdue and became a prolific jump shooting big in the NBA. That's what I'm talking about.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Brad's issue was motivation, not ability. When he missed out at the draft I think he got a fire in his butt and that changed his fortunes.
Contrast that with Plumlee getting approval for whatever the F that was he was doing the last couple of years. To me this is more like expecting Hassan Whiteside to learn how to ball once he got to the NBA, and now he's been cut instead. Plumlee is closer to being Daniel Orton than Brad Miller at this point.
Very few guys underwhelm in college and then last in the NBA. Guys get drafted low, but often they performed well in college and just dismissed as an NBA prospect (Sam Young, Buddinger, etc). Sometimes they are foreign or have injury concerns. That's usually how you get a surprise. There's almost no "he did jack squat at a major program, but now he's dialed in". I mean compare Brad Miller's numbers to Plumlee.
Miller (MPG, PPG/RPG/AST, BLK, STL) - final 2 years
30.0, 15.8/8.6/2.7 1.6, 1.5
Plumlee (same)
18.5, 5.7/5.9/0.5 0.7, 0.5
In both cases the games/minutes those final 2 years only increased slightly, performance went up slightly for both in a standard progression of development you see with most college guys. Often that first or even 2nd year are low PT and then the final 2 seasons you see a big jump with some fine tuning improvement in that 2nd year of the 2.
Also while scoring is not a PFs thing, the simple fact is that even non-scoring NBA guys can typically score 12-16 a game in college because they are flat out better than everyone. If not great scorers they are at least the strongest, quickest and/or best jumpers.
This is the problem with projecting development success in the NBA on guys that haven't shown it after at least 3 years of college. If they are a great athlete how was it they weren't destroying the many non-NBA athletes they were competing against on most nights? On rebound putback dunks alone a strong jumper will rack up 6-8 points per game.

You didn't pay attention? Well before Larry left, he pulled off that trade for Kobe and LeBron he talked about back during Super Bowl week
New improvements at the Fieldhouse in the form of a new center hung scoreboard and new sound system. Along with several hundred new monitors in the concourses.
...Still "flying casual"
This post is all sorts of awesome and perfectly sums up PD this past summer
With the exception of training camp pick-ups Blake Ahearn and Ben Hansbrough, I'm impressed with our entire 18-man roster as it stands now. Yes, we'll be losing several guys before the season starts, but regardless, I've not been this excited for a Pacers team in a while...
Hill will have gotten better.
Augustin is a clear improvement from Collison.
This is Lance's year to prove his worth.
Orlando Johnson won't get a ton of playing time, but he will get a chance to display his skillset.
Green is our diamond in the rough, and a huge improvement over Dahntay Jones.
Paul George will have gotten better.
Granger should be reevaluating his role on the team, as he is now far from the cornerstone of this team.
West may not get better, but he'll be just as good as he was last year. The only improvement is having an entire offseason to work with the team, unlike last year.
Hibbert will probably have gotten better; even if he just worked on his footing, he'll have improved.
Mahinmi (allegedly) was a better center than Robin Lopez last year, so supporting Roy will be a great opportunity for Ian.
Plumlee was not a pick I wanted (who remembers June? PJ3 anyone?), but I have since come to terms with him. He might not get much time, but he shouldn't be completely useless to us.
Pendergraph, pending his summer league injury, should come back better than ever. This is his fourth season, so he should be rounding out and improving any day now.
Speaking of fourth season improvements, Tyler Hansbrough has been (annually) looking more like a bust. It should be a given that, if Psycho T reemerges, he will be traded by the deadline.
"Sunny D." Gaines could earn a spot on the roster, but has he done anything recently besides his huge buzzer beater vs. Cleveland that got him famous?
Sam Young is a good pick-up, and a valuable player. His offense alone is an improvement over Dahntay's, and his defense is about on par.
Luke Nevill, 7-2 Mountain West Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year (for 2009) was signed for TC, and could be beneficial if he's decent. However, I imagine he'll be back in the NBDL, or Australia or Russia by the start of the season.
Ben Hansbrough and Blake Ahearn aren't necessarily on my list of players who will make the roster, but they both have a lot of intensity and hustle (as seen in Summer League), so they may end up on another NBA team by the time the season starts.
Everyone guaranteed for this team is an improvement over last year (DJA > DC; GG + OJ > DJ; Plum + Ian + JP > Hans). Of the training camp pick-ups, I would keep my eyes on Sam Young. And since I don't know much about Luke Nevill, he could, for all I know, be this year's skinny Fez.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
I did dial back in for the Summer League, and I thought Plumlee looked decent. Not awesome, but passable for such a late pick. I'm not concerned about blowing a late-20s pick.
What about our 2nd rounder? Any news on him? I really liked him in theory, but he was awful in SL.
This space for rent.
Why isn't OJ signed as yet? Is he coming to camp?

The Ohio Machine (2-7) held the Hamilton Nationals (2-7) to one goal in the fourth quarter to defeat them 13-12 and earn the team's second win of the season.
The Machine opened the game with a quick goal from midfielder Matt Messina to take the early lead over Hamilton. The Nationals quickly answered with goals from midfielder David Earl and attackman Joe Resiterits.
Machine midfielder Dan Groot tied the game up at two and then Machine attackman Jim Connolly followed with his 19
goal of the year. Midfielder Matt Witko extended the Machine's lead to two with a goal of his own at the end of the first quarter.
Hamilton opened up the second quarter with back to back goals from attackman Cody Jamieson. Machine defenseman Kyle Hartzell broke up the tie with his seventh two-point goal of the season. Rookie attackman Steele Stanwick and midfielder Matt Casey also added tallies of their own to give Ohio a four goal lead.
The Nationals quickly cut the lead back down to one on a goal from Joe Walters and back to back goals from attackman Stephen Keogh.
O'Brien stopped the run with a quick goal but Nationals' attackman Kevin Crowley scored a powerplay goal to make it 9-8 at the break.
The Nationals took control early in the second half with two straight goals from Garret Billings. The run was ended when an errant pass by Hamilton ended up in the back of their net for a Machine goal. Crowley added another one for the Nationals, to give them an 11-10 lead but Machine rookie midfielder Kiel Matisz scored on the power play to tie it up. Connolly gave the Machine the lead at the end of the third quarter with his 20
on the season.
Both teams were held scoreless in the fourth quarter until Stanwick scored his second goal of the game. The Machine held onto its two goal lead until Billings completed his hat-trick.
The Machine clamped down after Billings scored and held on to its one point lead to give the team its second win of the season.
Machine goalie Brian Phipps was dominant in goal for Ohio, only allowing 12 goals and finishing one shy of his career high for saves in a game with 17.
Woodson led the Machine with four assists and rookie Steele Stanwick was held without an assist for the first time in his MLL career but still scored two goals.
Face-off specialist Matt Dolente helped keep the Nationals in the game, securing 19 of the 27 face-offs. Billings led all scorers with three goals while also netting an assist.
National's goalie Scott Rodgers opened the game in the cage for Hamilton and played the first half, allowing eight goals. Goalie Brett Queener took over in the second half and held Ohio to four goals.
Both teams will travel to Ohio tomorrow to play each other at Selby Stadium as part of the Machine's "RadioU Night". The game can be seen live on ESPN3.com and SportsTime Ohio. Tickets to "RadioU Night" are available for only $15 for fans who use the discount code RADIOU.

A thorough description was released by the Fort Wayne Police Department and published by media outlets. No arrests have been made, with Officer Raquel Foster, a spokeswoman for the FWPD, telling me Thursday that the investigation was still open and that anyone with information that can help lead to an arrest can contact the police.
Days later, I received an invitation to attend "Strength Against Violence." From 11 a.m. to noon this Saturday, the event is meant for attendees to come to where the brazen attack took place and, according to the Facebook page for the event, "line the trails shoulder-to-shoulder, starting under the bridge at Lower Huntington & Tillman Roads (near mile marker 8), stretching in both directions. We will stand quietly but firmly in place for 30 minutes, to show that we care for each other and that we will work together to keep our outdoor spaces safe for all who use them."
Fair enough. Simple enough.
I decided to do some research for a possible story in order to notify the general populace about the event. I was directed to Melissa Renner, the person who is spearheading the event, and interviewed her as part of the process. During the interview, Renner explained that the symmetry is intentional — members of the community are meant to be there at the same time the attack took place, in the same location.
And then I wondered if the short story I intended to write was enough.
In this line of work, there are many pitfalls when engaging in advocacy through columns. I don't write them often for daily publication in The News-Sentinel. Far more often, I believe my role in this medium is to report facts as best I can find them, interpret data and information that is provided, and present it to the public and allow them to decide where they want to be.
People absolutely should get to choose how much they want to know about the world in which they live. I don't get to choose what they do with the information they have.
But with this story, I kept looping back to two things.
The first: Be honest. Society, in some quarters, has already conceded that people court danger from daring to be outside from dusk till dawn. We accept that criminals will seemingly always have access to as many weapons as law enforcement. We live in a world where, sadly enough, women who are victimized are still blamed for "being places they shouldn't" and "dressing a certain way." But this time? A jogger was attacked in broad daylight on a trail where plenty of public and private dollars have been invested to promote fitness.
The second: I admit that I'm na�ve at times. A dreamer, despite all I've seen in the places I've been. But I've always believed in this admittedly paraphrased quote from long ago, "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."
The Rivergreenway isn't a place that people have tended to need to fear, and the recent incident shouldn't change that. The FWPD's Foster told me that criminal activity has tended to be nothing more severe than vehicle break-ins at Foster Park.
The police department does an admirable job. But they can't be everywhere. They need assistance. Moreso, they need the public to be aware, to care, to be willing to pay attention. Because real life isn't like television dramas where witty detectives trade one-liners for 30 minutes, then district attorneys trade more one-liners for another 30 minutes, and the bad guy goes to prison just before the end credits play.
Sometimes, people can make a place better by simply choosing to be involved members of the community, in simple ways.
There are dozens of people who have committed to attending Saturday's event, and that is a credit to them. This column isn't meant to promote anything other than that cause, but I am promoting it. If people can fit it into their schedules, I am hopeful more will come.
Why? Because at some point — and I would argue that this is one of those occasions — standing up for something, no matter how symbolic, is worth the time of individuals.
Individuals standing together is what makes us a community. A community stating what is and is not acceptable is what makes us a society that can believe that at some point, heinous acts will be exposed and justice will prevail.
On Saturday, Sept. 22, a woman was attacked at 11 a.m. while jogging on the Rivergreenway. Of all the criminal activity that society has to swallow every day, is that act one of them that we can accept as business-as-usual?
Obviously, I think not.

Meat is a staple in most families' diets. We have seen the cost of some meat, especially beef, in recent months.
There are ways your family can save money on meat without ever clipping a single coupon.
Keeping various kinds of meat in your freezer can allow for variety in planning meals and make it easier to provide a base to a nutritious dinner.
Here are five ways to save money in the meat department!
1. Buy in bulk. Think about purchasing packages of 10 pounds or more. Waiting to buy beef, chicken or pork in small increments, rather than buying a large portion and wrapping and dividing it yourself at home.
2. Cut it yourself. This can go closely with buying in bulk. If you buy a whole chicken, a large portion of pork that can be divided into several cuts, or anything else that you have to ability to cut yourself, you will save a lot of money. A portion of the cost you pay at the meat counter is for labor. You are paying for their butchers to do their job. Do the work yourself and you save money!
3. Get ground turkey. Given the fact that the cost of beef has gone up in recent months, by about a dollar per pound, avoid eating it as often. Choose ground turkey instead. Poultry is not only cheaper, it is a leaner meat. If you are adding it to a recipe, you sometimes can't even tell the difference. It can be a drier meat, so look at options to make it juicier. If you're making burgers with it, consider adding worchestshire to add flavor and moisture.
4. Manager's Specials. Watch for stickers marked on packages of meat in the grocery store. These items can sometimes be marked down by as much as 50%. These are often items that need to be moved out of the store for various reasons. Sometimes employees need to make more room for other products that are on special, want to sell more of a particular item, or the product is nearing its "sell by date."
5. Designate a meat-free night. Consider not eating meat once a week. Replace a meat-based meal with beans, vegetables or other items. A meatless meal can provide health benefits for your family by providing low-fat, nutritious alternatives. There are a lot of recipes available online that are meatless and delicious!

Carpenter could face live hitters soon
LOS ANGELES -- Right-hander Chris Carpenter threw an extended bullpen session at Busch Stadium on Thursday and responded well enough that the Cardinals are considering having him face hitters as early as Tuesday. Facing hitters in live batting practice would put Carpenter a step closer toward going out on a Minor League rehab assignment.
Carpenter has been throwing off a mound for several weeks now, slowly building back arm strength and increasing his pitch count. After throwing three simulated innings last Saturday, he pushed himself through four on Thursday.
Also back in St. Louis on Thursday, reliever Fernando Salas had Dr. George Paletta examine his ailing right shoulder. Salas was given a cortisone shot to relieve inflammation. He has been prescribed a rehab program, though the Cardinals have given no indication as to how long they expect Salas to remain on the disabled list. He will be eligible to come off on June 5.
Out in Los Angeles, Jake Westbrook played catch on Friday afternoon to test his right elbow. Westbrook, who had to end a bullpen session on Wednesday due to elbow pain, said after Friday's test that his elbow "felt not bad."
Westbrook said he plans to throw on flat ground again on Saturday, after which he hopes to have a better idea of a longer-term rehab plan. At this point, the Cardinals have not deemed it necessary for Westbrook to seek another opinion on his elbow. He has already missed two starts and will miss at least two more due to the setback from earlier this week.

Falmouth cop hangs up his helmet after 22 years
1:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012
By Greg Fountain
1:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012
By Greg Fountain
After 22 years helping to keep the streets of Falmouth and Penryn safe, one well-known sergeant is hanging up his helmet for good this week.
Detective Sergeant Dave O'Neill, who has been at the helm of Falmouth CID for the past three years, will clock off for the final time at midday today (Wednesday).
An ex-Navy man originally from London, Dave moved to Plymouth following the closure of Chatham Dockyard in the 1980's and this is where he first joined the police.
His time in the Devon city was far from uneventful and in 1987 he disarmed a man who threatened him with a shotgun, which won him a bravery award.
A slightly quieter life lay ahead of him in Falmouth, where he was first posted in 1990 having "never been to Cornwall before."
Although this is, in Dave's own words, "a lovely, chilled place to live" he has still been involved in some traumatic and high profile investigations during his time here - including the brutal murder of Budock councillor Peter Solheim and the paedophile postman Michael Williams.
"I was quite proud to have worked on that one," Dave said, "and to have helped the kids in Falmouth and Penryn."
Highly commended throughout his career, he was awarded the Bolitho Staff by the High Sheriff of Cornwall in 2007, "which is top bobby in Cornwall," he said, "that was a real high."
Aged just 51, Dave is not planning on taking a back seat in life just yet - although he is looking forward to spending a quiet Christmas with his wife Jeanette at their family home in Penryn, where they raised daughter Emma, now a 30-year-old personal assistant in London and sons Michael, a 25-year-old chief officer in the Royal Navy, and Daniel, a 17-year-old student.
"Having spent so much time here I have got to know so many people," Dave said.
"They are the most wonderful and warm people and I can say that with my hand on my heart."
A retirement party will be held next month for Dave with all his close friends and family, although sadly not his father - a former Royal Navy policeman - who died very recently.
"He would have loved to have been there - and I would have loved for him to have been there," Dave said.
Over the next couple of months you will be able to spot Dave "on any lake in West Cornwall," where he will be indulging in his favourite hobby - carp fishing.
"For a while I'm going to take stock of where I am now, but I intend to work again," he said.
"[In my working life] I have tried to be as fair with people as I possibly could be. Anybody who has come in to contact with me - both professionally and out of work - I hope that's the way I came across.
"It's been difficult, it's been challenging but it has been fantastic and I have always been made to feel welcome.
"I would like to thank my work friends and colleagues, you've been great to work with and don't be strangers
"And anyone who remembers me and knows me - if you do see me, say hello," he added.

I heard about this over at Ven. Dhammika's blog:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/onecity/2009/ ... award.html
and here is Ven. Dhammika's response:
http://sdhammika.blogspot.com/ (July 21, 2009 post)
I tend to agree with Ven. Dhammika on this one. What is the use of the award? Wouldn't it be better if people thought the teachings were so good, to actually put them to practice? A vote seems meaningless. It is telling on the greatness of the teachings that no teacher could be found to "accept" the award.

I bought this original 1967 one-sheet for Herschell Gordon Lewis' "The Gruesome Twosome" at Wuxtry Records in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1980s. I got it for only a few bucks, not because the owner of the shop didn't know what he had, but because he was a really cool guy that was happy to pass on a good deal when one came his way.
Anyway, Herschell Gordon Lewis made numerous gore films for drive-ins in the 1960s, and he has become, along with Russ Meyer and a few others, one of the most notorious cult filmmakers of the 1960s. His most famous film is Blood Feast.
This film has something to offend just about everyone as you can see by the IMDB synopsis below:
"A demented, elderly woman has her mentally retarded son kill and scalp various young women to use their hair for her wig shop while a persistent coed tries to link various killings on a local Florida college campus to them."


text: Did anyone else See forbes pass up the open layup to DD for the dunk? If I am not mistaken that would have given him a career high. Very nice to see someone more interested in TEAM more than personal goal. Really loved the look on the new york bench when that happened. Great revenge for all the laughing the knocks were doing during their blowout earlier this week. Loved the game. Go Raps.

The 2013 NFL season isn't opening with the traditional Thursday night home game for the Super Bowl champions—the Ravens were knocked out by an Orioles home game and concerns about parking in Baltimore—but John Harbaugh's team will still be part of the season-opening hoopla. The Ravens travel to Denver to play Peyton Manning and the Broncos, largely considered the AFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl.
Other Week 1 highlights include Green Bay at San Francisco in a rematch of a 2012 opener, which the 49ers won 30-22 at Lambeau Field; a Sunday night matchup between the Giants and Cowboys in Arlington; and the Monday nighter between Philadelphia (the first view of Chip Kelly's push-the-pace offense) and Washington (Robert Griffin III's comeback game) at FedExField.

Community Service: Edward Chung says he is a strong believer in doing everything he can to keep civic organizations in touch with homeowners. Chung is on the Board of Directors of the Jamaica Estates Association and was inducted this year as a board member of Community Board 8.
He said he is the go-to man for neighborhood problems, like cleaning parking lots, removing damaged trees, having abandoned cars towed away or fixing knocked down telephone poles.
Background: "I take pride in my neighborhood," Chung said.
His celebration of diversity in various events, like JEA's International Night, shows the emphasis he places on embracing diversity in a community. This has led him to accept many leading civic positions.
Favorite Memory: One of Chung's favorite memories from civic leading is the Annual Jamaica Estates Association's International Night that brings together the community and celebrates its diversity. It is a night full of local merchants' food, great entertainment, culture and fun.
"It promotes diversity to show that we are all together, living together," he said.
Biggest Challenge: One of Chung's most memorable challenges was dealing with the high number of car accidents on Dalny Road in Jamaica Estates. He decided to take action with Barry Weinberg, the late president of Jamaica Estates Association.
With the support of Weinberg, who encouraged him to begin this project, Chung and his neighbors worked on organizing facts and collecting police reports on the countless accidents that had occurred on the narrow, two-way street.
Both Weinberg and JEA President Evan Gorin led Chung to a meeting with the now retired Borough President Claire Shulman. Chung's neighbors pitched a presentation, suggesting a change in the road. As a result, Chung helped decrease the number of accidents that occur on Dalny Road. His neighbors' issues were resolved and the Department of Traffic set new rules in place to create a safer environment.
Inspiration: Many years back, Weinberg sparked Chung's interest in civic leading and community involvement. He had once told Chung that he "should get involved in the neighborhood because he is a homeowner and everyone has a stake in the neighborhood."
He then assisted him in his Dalny Road challenges.
"Because of him, I became more involved and I see the benefits of joining a civic group and being an active member," Chung said.

So how do you keep your prostate healthy? Many studies on specific ingredients have shown great therapeutic effects on BPH and even cancer-preventive effects. In Europe, herbal treatments are the most popular prescriptions for BPH! Here's a brief list:
Saw Palmetto: Numerous placebo-controlled studies testing saw palmetto against standard drug treatments showed almost equal benefit. Fatty acids from saw palmetto reduce the production of 5-DHT (5-dihydrotestosterone), which causes prostate enlargement in BPH. Saw palmetto has been shown to improve urine flow, decrease nighttime urination frequency, and aid in complete bladder emptying in BPH.
Pygeum africanum: This herb has several effects on BPH, including reducing bladder neck muscle hyper-contractability, inhibiting prostate fibroblast (scar tissue) activity, and improving pre-cancerous prostate cell appearance.
Beta Sitosterol: This group of specific plant-derived chemicals has been found to improve BPH symptoms. Plant sterols such as these may even be the actual "prostate-active" ingredients in many herbal supplements.
Lycopene: This red-colored carotene, found in tomato products, has been shown to reduce the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Beta Glucan: This unique carbohydrate molecule is able to stimulate the immune system.
Zinc: Low zinc levels in the blood and prostate are linked to prostate cancer. Zinc has shown a protective effect against prostate cancer.
Selenium: Studies have shown selenium may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Did You Know?
The Eurasian Eagle Owl is amongst the largest owls on earth -- with a wingspan of 6ft!
Well hello there! It's been a busy summer, hasn't it? We're excited to tell you about our involvement this year in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The AZA's mission is to foster leaders in animal care, wildlife conservation, education and community engagement, and Potter Park Zoo is an accredited member of the Association.
Back in July, we hosted Species Survival Plan (SSP) meetings for snow leopards and tigers. The SSP is a program of the AZA which keeps records of all animals in captivity and advises zoos on breeding plans for them. Snow leopard and tiger experts from throughout North America gathered here in Lansing for their annual meeting. As you may know, PPZ's female snow leopard, Serena, participates in some groundbreaking research. We are proud to play a prominent role in the conservation of these animals.
A few weeks ago, Zoo Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium hosted the AZA annual conference which brings zoo folks together to share their new ideas, best practices, successful programs and more. Two of PPZ's education programs were featured in a session about intensive learning at zoos! The BIG Zoo Lesson is a unique tool for teaching conservation and developing sensitivity to the natural world. It is a model study for grades 2-6 that can be replicated at other zoos. PPZ's high school class called "Zoo and Aquarium Science" educates older students about career opportunities in animal science. The curriculum focuses on zoo structure and management, anatomy and physiology, caring for animals in captivity, and conservation and education. It's really important to showcase creative education programs, especially with shrinking budgets at many institutions. We were honored to present alongside Brevard Zoo and Columbus Zoo at the conference, who have some pretty cool programs as well.
Potter Park Zoo has a unwavering committment to conservation and education, and we look forward to working more with the AZA to further our mission.

Book a flight to Langkawi with Qatar Airways and you'll be ready to visit one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world. Consisting of 104 islands, Langkawi is known as 'the Jewel of Kedah'. Here, you'll find timeless rain forests and spotless beaches, peppered with relics from ancient civilisations. In 2007, the islands were declared an UNESCO World Heritage site, in recognition of the important diversity of life and geology the islands play host to.
While it might be a paradise for lovers of wildlife and history, there's also plenty for more modern-minded travellers, with a stunning array of cultural attractions, excellent shopping and superb places to eat. Flights to Langkawi can be caught from most international airports, introducing you to islands that are brimming with beauty.
You can't really miss Dataran Lang, a 12-foot sculpture of an eagle, wings spread and ready to launch itself into the skies. However, there's more than the eagle to enjoy; Dataran Lang watches over some stunning fountains and fairy-tale bridges, giving plenty of opportunity to take some superb photographs. However, if you'd prefer something with a little more adrenaline involved, catch a ride on the Langkawi Cable Car and be rewarded with stupendous views of the dense rainforests, sapphire seas and the other islands in the archipelago.
If you're travelling to Langkawi with children then be sure to set aside some time for a visit to Underwater World Langkawi. Here, visitors can enjoy the colourful spectacle of a range of exotic birds or walk through the underwater tunnel and get superb views of some of the sea's fiercest predators and beautiful fish. However, if the idea of being under so much seawater doesn't appeal, then the Langkawi Bird Paradise offers the chance to see birds such as flamingos, toucans and canaries in stunning surroundings.
To incorporate some local folklore into a great family day out, your trip to Langkawi ought to take in a visit to Taman Lagenda Langkawi. This is a beautiful park, populated with sculptures featuring the heroes, villains and monsters from Langkawi myth and legend.
The spotless sands of Langkawi's beaches are something of an attraction themselves. While all the beaches are stunning, to make the most of your trip to Langkawi, make sure that you pay a visit to Pantai Cenang Beach, which must lay claim to being Langkawi's most popular beach. Teluk Yu Beach offers an equally-impressive beach experience, but is more secluded than Pantai Cenang. Pantai Telak Burau is popular, partly due to the stunning views of the other islands, mountains and the lush rainforests.
If you want to factor in some cultural immersion, Air Hangat Village is the perfect place to go. A modern cultural complex, you'll find a variety of attractions, including a theatre and a saltwater hot-spring, surrounded by a beautiful mural, made from river stones.
If you're travelling to Langkawi in search of good food, then you'll discover that there's plenty of choice, thanks to a diverse range of restaurants serving everything from burgers to seafood. However, you can't take a trip to Langkawi and not sample some of the local cuisine.
The best districts to head for are the beaches of Pantai Kok, Pantai Tengah and Pantai Cenang and Kuah Town. Here, you can sample sublime and spicy dishes of curried meat and fish, often served with rice cooked in fragrant coconut milk. Noodles are another popular dish and are cooked with spices, vegetables and meat or fish.
Next to the pristine beaches, the superb shopping is the main reason that most people decide to travel to Langkawi. There are plenty of shopping areas to discover, such as the malls and retail outlets in Kuah Town.
If you're looking for retail therapy with a view, then Pantai Cenang offers the chance to buy hand-crafted goods and holiday essentials, against a beautiful, sun-splashed backdrop. Pantai Tengah is widely regarded as one of the best places to shop and boasts vibrant, outdoor markets where you can buy antiques and curios.
Flights to Langkawi land at Langkawi International Airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Langkawi please check the visa and passport requirements.

Sign up for our weekly email * Shortly before the last general election, David Cameron visited his fellow centre-right leader Angela Merkel and, in anticipation of a hung parliament, asked her what it was like to lead a coalition government. "The little party always gets smashed!" the German chancellor replied. Mrs Merkel's words, as revealed by the former Conservative education secretary Kenneth Baker in last week's New Statesman, have proved prescient. Like their German sister party, the Free Democrats, the Liberal Democrats have gained little beyond the privileges of power and lost much from coalition government. Since 2010, the party's membership has declined by a quarter and the number of Liberal Democrat councillors has fallen below 3,000, the lowest level in two decades. The Lib Dems' current poll rating of 10 per cent would, on a uniform swing, leave them with just 18 of their present 57 seats. The party is now as unpopular in Scotland, where it has 11 MPs, as the Tories, who hold one out of the 59 Westminster seats. The decision to enter coalition with the Conservatives and the return of the Labour Party to opposition was always likely to squeeze the Lib Dems' vote but, with a series of political blunders, their leader, Nick Clegg, has intensified the damage. The party was endorsed by the Guardian at the last election but it has since lost many of its left-leaning supporters. Its embrace of austerity economics was too ardent and many will never forgive Mr Clegg for his U-turn on university tuition fees. Two recent events have epitomised his struggles. First, the night before it was confirmed that Britain's economy shrank in the final quarter of 2012 (as it has done in four of the past five quarters), the Deputy Prime Minister finally conceded that the coalition cut infrastructure spending too deeply after entering office. "If I'm going to be sort of self-critical, there was this reduction in capital spending when we came into the coalition government," he said. (That redundant "sort of" is characteristic of the imprecision of his language.) "I think we comforted ourselves at the time that it was actually no more than what Alistair Darling spelled out anyway, so in a sense everybody was predicting a significant drop-off in capital investment." Mr Clegg's contention that the coalition merely chose to match the plans it had inherited from Labour is disingenuous. To date, according to figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility, the government has spent £12.8bn (8 per cent) less on capital projects than planned by Mr Darling, whose tenure as chancellor appears more impressive with each passing month of recession. Mr Clegg's belated self-criticism is a reminder of how careless it was for his party to embrace, so unquestioningly, the Conservatives' economic plans during the coalition negotiations. As the Labour peer and former transport secretary Andrew Adonis reported in the NS in 2010, the Lib Dems made no attempt to stick to their campaign pledge to delay spending cuts until at least 2011. And yet Mr Clegg had declared just five days before the general election: "My eight year- old ought to be able to work this out – you shouldn't start slamming on the brakes when the economy is barely growing." He went on to approve Andrew Lansley's NHS reforms, for which the government had no mandate, without, according to Shirley Williams, taking the time to read the bill. Mr Clegg's second act of self-correction was his decision to lead his party in voting against the Tories' proposed boundary changes, which were deservedly defeated on 29 January by 334 votes to 292. Yet this rebellion, the first time Lib Dem ministers had voted against their Conservative counterparts since the coalition was formed, was a display of weakness, not strength. It was only after failing to come even close to winning the referendum on the Alternative Vote (the original quid pro quo for the boundary changes) and to secure reform of the House of Lords that Mr Clegg turned against the changes, for which he had previously argued. "There can be no justification for maintaining the current inequality between constituencies and voters across the country," he told MPs in 2010. His rebellion was an act of petulance, not principle. How disappointing – and damning – that the Lib Dems, the party of constitutional reform, will leave office with Britain's electoral system unchanged and its second chamber unelected.

Out of curiosity, I know someone posted elsewhere saying the rim on the Flow is not as wide as the destroyer. What is the destroyer's rim with. Google brought up some links showing 2.2cm, which would be the *same* as what Latitude said the width of the Flow was in their description:
"Flow is a high speed driver with good glide and could be described as a mix of our Halo and River. It has a domey top which gives it good lift and glide. The rim is quite sharp and comfortably wide for the grip (22mm.)"
Just curious, as I have some pain problems that are caused by the rim width of the destroyer but I'd be game to try this if it was indeed smaller.


text: Hilltoppers spoil W.Va. State's homecoming By Mike Whiteford October 6, 2012 Story Share INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- The football fortunes at West Virginia State looked a bit brighter last week when the school announced plans for a $2.1 million facilities building at Lakin Field.The structure should be a recruiting godsend and contribute much-needed good cheer to a program that combined for a 4-26 record in the three previous seasons.The glad tidings will have to wait, however. After the Yellow Jackets suffered a 52-19 homecoming loss to West Liberty on Saturday afternoon, coach Earl Monroe admonished his players by making them glance up at the scoreboard one more time, hoping the day's agony might serve as inspiration. Monroe was especially disappointed that his players at times lacked toughness."It seemed like we weren't fighting at the end,'' he said, "and I thought that was something that would never happen.''The Hilltoppers (3-3), who were coming off back-to-back West Virginia Conference losses, led 17-6 at halftime and broke it open by scoring two touchdowns in a 61-second span early in the third quarter - on Dylan Lagarde's 40-yard pass to Brandon Schroeder and Rod White's 32-yard interception return. The 'Toppers suddenly led 31-6.The visitors achieved another pick-six, Mike Jefferson's 32-yarder midway through the fourth quarter, and in the game's final minute WL's Pierre Blake returned a final interception to the State 6, where the Hilltoppers ended the game by kneeling down three times.It was that kind of day for the 'Toppers, who amassed 500 yards, forced four turnovers and seven State punts and blocked a field-goal attempt. The Jackets fell to 2-4 and 1-3 in the WVC. "I honestly thought we were ready to play,'' said Monroe. "For a half, I thought we had a chance. We came out in the second half and still had a little fight, but then we had some bad things go against us, and it was a downhill spiral from there.''After losing to Fairmont State and Glenville State, Hilltoppers coach Roger Waialae decided to go with a different quarterback, opting for the freshman Lagarde over senior L.D. Crow. "The change in quarterback really helped us, putting in a more mobile guy,'' said Waialae. "It was good to see the freshman quarterback play pretty good today.''Lagarde, a Los Alamitos, Calif., resident, completed 25 of 42 passes for 302 yards and five touchdowns and, in keeping with the coach's expectations, kept plays alive with his elusiveness. "The thing that he adds is that he's able to extend plays,'' said the WL coach. "I think we only called maybe a half-dozen designed rollouts, but he was able to flush from the pocket and make some plays. It opened some things up for us running the football, and we did some things that we haven't done this year. We ran the ball really effectively.''State quarterback Ricky Phillips, who was unable to practice during the week because of an injury, completed 20 of 41 passes for 210 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown pass to Josh Johnson in the fourth quarter."We were worried about Ricky Phillips,'' said Monroe. "He didn't practice all week. He was kind of pressing, throwing off the back foot. We knew we would have some issues there. We tried to get him some quick throws. He couldn't scramble very well. He tried but then he started pressing.'' State's Aubura Taylor rushed 20 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns.Reach Mike Whiteford at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The beloved Lollapalooza music festival celebrates their 20th anniversary this year, and they show no signs of slowing down any time soon. Although the 2011 concerts aren't until August, early tickets have already gone on sale – and sold out. In fact, discounted 3 day passes that went on sale last week sold out in about an hour, a testament to how much fans truly love this event. And, Lollapalooza-lovers aren't just limited to the United States. Bands played to an enormous crowd at the first annual Lollapalooza Chile concert in Santiago last weekend.
With hundreds of artists playing on almost a dozen stages, it's easy to see why people love Lollapalooza. The better question is, why should companies care? Well, a captive audience presents the perfect opportunity for organizations to promote their message and enhance their brand loyalty. To effectively target Lollapalooza attendees, it's important to think about the venue, as well as the crowd's interests and ages. One idea is to distribute custom sunglasses, imprinted with your company name and logo. In addition to being affordable enough for mass giveaways, custom sunglasses are both fun and functional, so recipients will rock on with these products long after Lollapalooza season ends.

Firefighters called to Parker Tech Seal Division
Gothenburg Volunteer firefighters showed up at Parker Tech Seal Division Thursday to extinguish smoldering material in a blower fan.
Second assistant fire chief Chris Brede said the call came at about 11:15 a.m. and when they arrived, smoke was coming out of the blower fan on top of a cyclone.
"Some fine rubber dust on the sides inside the blower was smoldering," Brede said noting that sensors at the plant set off sprinklers that were already dumping water into the fan. "We put a hose up there and doused the water on the smolder spots," he said.
Brede said no one was injured and there was little, if any, damage.
"It was pretty well contained," he said.
Firefighters were on the scene about an hour.
When they left, Brede said plant employees were getting ready to start up the blower fan.
Brede said the equipment sucks up dust from the cutting of rubber O rings which is what the company manufactures.

Prep time: 30 minutes
Grill temperature: medium-high
Cooking time: 8 - 10 minutes
it is sweet and spicy and because it uses ground turkey breast it is fast to cook and healthier than a beef burger
Left over turkey and cranberry relish at Thanksgiving that eventually turned into a burger.
Burgers are a favorite menu item in our house. In an attemp to add variety I started making turkey burgers. I started by seasoning them in the same manner that I would a beef burger.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving all year long with this tasty and moist burger! It's a great "day-after" Thanksgiving meal. Your family won't even know that your using up the Thanksgiving left-overs!
This burger was inspired by my love of Chinese food and my husband love of grilling. Once we had it and we both fell in love with it. It's a get merger.
I created this burger as an alternative to beef. Since we live in Texas, I incorporated some of the Southwest flavors of this fine state.
This "burger" is sooo good you will not believe it is healthier with less fat. It is super and even snoopy husbands and kids will eat it!
The explosion of flavors are apparent in the first bite of this delicious creation.
We love to try influences from around the world. My husband spent 6 months traveling overseas with the majority of time spent in the India region.

Case Study
Languages: VB
Technologies: Reporting
Crystal Decisions began working with Microsoft on their .NET technology long before the .NET term was even coined. Several years later, as Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET nears release with Visual Studio .NET, the Crystal Decisions team looks back on its experiences developing an enterprise-reporting SDK making extensive use of the .NET Framework.
One of the challenges the Crystal team had to address from the beginning was that we weren t starting from scratch; we had an established industry-leading product and needed to bring a subset of it to the .NET platform. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the ease with which we were able to accomplish this task. The rest of this article will describe some of the components we are exposing to the .NET world and the .NET features we are leveraging in doing so.
Report Engine
The core of the Crystal Reports product is in its report-processing engine, implemented mostly as C++ DLLs. This engine is comprised of over one million lines of code, so the task of rewriting it in a managed language seemed daunting. The decision was made early on not to rewrite the engine, but rather to leverage our existing investment and create a wrapper to expose the engine s API to the .NET world. We chose to use Managed Extensions to C++ (MC++) to create this wrapper.
MC++, which allows the mixture of unmanaged and managed code within the same DLL, enables direct access to the existing engine as well as the ability to expose a managed object model that would be usable from any managed language like VB .NET or C# in both Windows Forms and Web Forms (ASP.NET) contexts.
FIGURE 1 shows a code example of the report engine object model being used to print a report using VB .NET. The developer can also use the engine to export the report to another file format such as PDF, DOC, RTF, or XLS.
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Dim Report As New ReportDocument()
Dim numCopies As Integer = 1
Dim collate As Boolean = False
Dim startPage As Integer = 1
Dim endPage As Integer = 5
Report.PrintToPrinter(numCopies, collate, _
startPage, endPage)
FIGURE 1: Printing a report directly to a printer.
Web Delivery
While printing and exporting are key features, we expect the majority of developers will want to deliver reports over the Web in HTML format. Crystal Reports already has the ability to produce HTML 3.2 and HTML 4 output, so the Web control architecture of ASP.NET was a perfect fit. A Web control is a server-side control that renders itself into HTML while providing features such as client-side state management, control events, and caching. Web controls also work great within the Visual Studio .NET development environment because they provide a design-time representation of what they look like so the author can lay out the page accordingly.
The Crystal team created a control named CrystalReportViewer (found in the CrystalDecisions.Web namespace). The control inherits from the WebControl class (found in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace). The following code demonstrates using the Crystal Reports Web control in an ASP.NET page:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CR" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web"
Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web" %>
<CR:CrystalReportViewer id="CRViewer1" runat="server"
width="500px" height="500px"
The ReportSource property is used to specify which report the Web control should request from the engine. In this example, it is set to a file path to a Crystal Report (RPT) file.
State Management
Anybody who s ever created a medium- to large-scale Web application in ASP has learned that while per-user session variables are easy to use, they are generally to be avoided. Session variables consume server memory, which reduces the ability to scale the application. Alternatives such as storing state in the query string, however, are often tedious to implement.
ASP.NET solves this problem by introducing view state. Storing things in ASP.NET view state is as easy as storing things in session variables; however, it does not store the data in server memory. Instead, ASP.NET serializes the view state into a string which gets sent down as a hidden form field to the client. When the client performs an action on the page, the view state is posted back to the server for the Web control to use.
The view state is available for ASP.NET application developers as well as ASP.NET control developers. The Crystal Reports Web control uses view state to store information such as the current page number of a report or any report parameters. This eliminates the dependency on server memory for per-user state and decreases the time and maintenance of implementing a complex state management mechanism.
Web Control Events
One of the things that make client controls like ActiveX controls rich is that they provide events to which the application developers can respond. Web controls give you the best of both worlds because they follow a thin-client model but are able to expose events to ASP.NET developers.
One of the powerful features of Crystal Decisions product is the ability to quickly and easily have interactive report viewing over the Web. That is, users can easily drill deeper into consolidated data to find specific information. Even more valuable, however, is the fact that the Crystal Reports Web control can be set to expose events such as Navigate and Drill that fire when users click and drill-down on the report. Developers can handle these events and change the appearance of other controls to reflect the navigation. FIGURE 2 shows an ASP.NET page using VB .NET that handles the Drill event and interacts with other controls.
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CR" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web"
Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web" %>
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" %>
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub CRViewer1_OnDrill(Source As Object,
e As DrillEventArgs)
Label1.Text = "You drilled down on " & _
End Sub
<form runat="server">
<CR:CrystalReportViewer id="CRViewer1"
runat="server" width="500px" height="500px"
<asp:Label id=Label1 runat=server/>
FIGURE 2: Handling events of the Crystal Reports WebForms control.
The Web control uses ASP.NET view state effectively to scale; however, there is still a performance hit when the report-processing engine needs to process a report. We have found ASP.NET s caching API extremely useful in this scenario.
The Cache class (found in the System.Web.Caching namespace) is a collection of objects that the ASP.NET developer can use to store and retrieve application data. The collection private to a given application is straightforward to use. The developer simply stores an object based on a string-based key, as shown here:
Cache(key) = object
The Crystal team uses this caching API to store report jobs that could be used across sessions. This allows a report to be processed once and the output reused across many requests to increase robustness and scalability. We also provide an interface named ICachedReport that allows developers to customize the way a report job is cached.
XML Web Services
Early on, we saw that XML Web Services were going to be big. Web Services provide an easy way for businesses to share information programmatically using open Internet standards like XML and HTTP. However, while the passing of data to business partners is a good thing, the business on the other end needs to present that data in a way that s useful. They need to turn data into information. This is the business Crystal Decisions has been in for a long time, so we came up with a way to leverage ASP.NET s Web Services API to expose Crystal Reports as XML Web Services. Pages are serialized into XML and sent over the wire using SOAP to either our rich-client viewer or thin-client viewer. Surprisingly enough, this really wasn t that much work. Microsoft did a great job in doing all the groundwork in exposing and consuming XML Web Services.
Web integration with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET.
The Crystal Reports team at Crystal Decisions is excited about the product we ve built for .NET. The core .NET Framework allowed us to leverage our existing code base, rapidly add new and powerful features, and deliver a high-quality product to the .NET world. We think budding ASP.NET developers will do the same.

Ryan Marples is a program manager at Crystal Decisions. His responsibility includes delivering developer tools as part of the Crystal Reports product. For the past two years Ryan has been living and breathing .NET while working closely with Microsoft to deliver a new release of Crystal Reports built atop the .NET Framework that will ship with Visual Studio .NET.

Culberson making most of opportunity with Rockies
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- A year later and with a different team, Rockies infielder Charlie Culberson is getting a chance in Spring Training.
Last year, Culberson suffered a broken left index finger in a weight-training mishap just before going to camp with the Giants -- who selected him as a supplemental first-round pick in the 2007 MLB First-Year Player Draft. He didn't play all spring and spent most of the year at Triple-A Fresno, although he did get into eight games with the Giants. Ultimately, Culberson was traded to the Rockies for second baseman Marco Scutaro, who would earn National League Championship Series MVP honors and help the Giants win the World Series.
For Culberson, 23, the final five weeks of the season turned out to be the audition he didn't get in Spring Training. Culberson hit .336 in 30 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs, where Stu Cole was manager and Rene Lachemann was on the coaching staff. Now Cole is coaching third base and Lachemann is coaching first base on new Rockies manager Walt Weiss' staff.
"They know me -- playing against them a few series here and there, and then playing for them the last five weeks, that helped me out coming into Spring Training," Culberson said. "It would have been nice to have been called up last year, but things didn't work out the way I wanted them to. That's just how it goes."
The Rockies are taking a long look at Culberson this spring. With expected regulars gradually working into playing shape, he has seen extensive duty at second base and third base. Going into Friday night against the Royals, he was 2-for-11, with the hits being a home run and a triple. Club officials like his defense, say there is some power in his bat and that he runs well.
After being crowded out by veteran infielders throughout his time with the Giants, Culberson finds another packed situation in the Rockies' infield. The plan is for Josh Rutledge to start at second base and Troy Tulowitzki is the star shortstop, which means Culberson is competing for backup slots with Reid Brignac, who has proven himself defensively at short in the Majors, DJ LeMahieu and Jonathan Herrera.
Culberson was drafted as a shortstop and spent a year at third base but has been primarily a second baseman the past three years. However, he feels comfortable moving around the diamond.
"I'm here to play, and the Rockies are giving me a chance," Culberson said. "I can't ask for much more."
