Oyster recovery bid threatened?
Oysters, clams, fish and crabs typically dominate the discussion when the Potomac River Fisheries Commission meets in Colonial Beach.
But, for the second time in seven years, the bi-state panel waded into another topic that affects all the others—development. Specifically, a riverside development at Swan Point, Md.
Swan Point Development Co. LLC wants to add a 143-slip marina, 1,500 homes and several new piers to an existing development on a spit of land directly across the river from Colonial Beach. Additional shoreline work along several thousand feet of shoreline, and dredging a creek to accommodate the marina, is also planned.
Martin L. Gary, the commission's executive secretary, saw an notice for a public hearing on the expansion last week. He attended the session in La Plata, Md., then invited a consultant for the developer to speak at Friday's PRFC meeting.
Gary took over as executive secretary last July. One of his priorities has been tracking development projects on both sides of the river that could affect commission restoration efforts.
The PRFC, with representatives from Maryland and Virginia, was created in 1958 to manage and protect fisheries on the tidal portion of the river.
Gary's predecessor, Kirby A. Carpenter, weighed in on the Swan Point development in 2007, when it was just getting started. Ellen Cosby, the commission's assistant executive secretary, said Carpenter wrote a letter to the developer at the time, expressing concern about potential harm to fisheries.
Gary said that while he had little time to research the latest plan, "I did my best, based on concerns for quality of the water" around Swan Point, "and potential impacts to fishery resources and recreational and commercial fishermen."
In an interview earlier this week, Gary said, "There's potential impact on both sides of the river, and that's what flew up red flags for me."
Since 2010, the commission has worked to re-establish oyster growing areas from the U.S. 301 Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, down river to Stratford Hall on the Virginia side.
One is at Swan Point. Commercial fishermen set nets in the vicinity as well. Just last week, the PRFC hosted a regional water quality information exchange aimed at improving fish, crab and oyster stocks.
Milton McCarthy, a consultant for Swan Point Development Co., briefly outlined the plan, noting that the developer—on its own—spent $5 million to stabilize the shoreline and planted wetlands vegetation, to protect the river.
McCarthy said there's been no assessment of specific impacts on the river on the latest plan, and that issues noted by Carpenter in his 2007 letter had been resolved.
PRFC Commissioner Dennis Fleming wanted more details on that and other aspects of the project.
"I think it would be prudent to stop here until we see some of those documents, those comments before we do anything," he said.
Commissioner Tom O'Connell agreed, saying, "We need to be more familiar with the project." Though permits for some of the Swan Point development were granted prior to oyster replenishment efforts at Swan Point, "still, we've got to watch out for that investment."
The PRFC has spent about $200,000 on the program to date.
O'Connell said communication between the developer and the commission was a good start, and he wondered aloud "if there's a way to support your project and protect the resources that we're responsible for."
Newly installed PRFC Chairman Ida Hall asked for the staff's recommendation, with Gary suggesting two options—opposing it outright, or meeting with the developer to make it more river-friendly.
Gary recommended the latter, "to discuss what kind of neighbors the new residents and developers want to be on the river."
He said a company that would lay out $5 million on an erosion project because it was the right thing to do for the river, might consider a like amount on oyster restoration.
"I wonder if they value oyster resources as much," Gary said, noting that sum "would allow us to accomplish the number of [oyster] plantings in one year that it would take the commission five years to do."
He told McCarthy, "That's my gut reaction to this, really an olive branch to reach out to you."
Hall chimed in, "That sounds like a tremendous opportunity for all of us."
McCarthy agreed to arrange a meeting of PRFC staff and the developer next week. A public comment period on the project in Maryland ends March 31.

These factors aside, what if you have a choice? If you wait a few years to apply for Social Security, how much more income might you realize?
Could you wait until age 66? The Social Security Administration has made 66 the "full" retirement age for people born during 1943-1954. If you were born in this period and you apply for Social Security at age 62, you will reduce your retirement benefit by 25% and your spouse's by 30 percent.
That alone might convince you to wait. In addition, there are claiming strategies that may bring spouses much greater cumulative lifetime Social Security income, and they depend on one spouse waiting until age 66 to apply for benefits.
That may be the time for a file & suspend strategy. This tactic positions a married couple to receive maximum Social Security benefits at age 70, with one spouse being able to claim some benefits at age 66.
An example: Terry was born in 1947 and Teresa was born in 1951, so full retirement age is 66 for both of them.
So while some spousal benefits are rolling in, Terry and Teresa have both elected to put off receiving their own Social Security benefits until age 70. That allows each of them to rack up delayed retirement credits (8 percent annually) between 66-70. So when Terry turns 70, he is eligible to collect an enhanced benefit: $2,640 per month instead of the $2,000 per month he would have received at age 66. At 70, Teresa can switch from receiving the $1,000 monthly spousal benefit to collecting her enhanced benefits.1,4
Variations on file & suspend. There are other ways to do this. For example, 66-year-old Terry could initially apply for Teresa's spousal benefits as Teresa applies for her own benefits at 62. Terry thereby gets $800 a month while Teresa receives her own reduced benefit of $1,200 a month. At 70, Terry foregoes getting the spousal benefit and switches to receiving his own enhanced benefit ($2,640 a month thanks to those delayed retirement credits). If Terry lives to age 83 and Teresa lives to age 90, their total lifetime Social Security benefits will be $1,043,520 under this strategy, as opposed to $840,600 if they each apply for benefits when they turn 62.1
Widows can also use a variant on the file-and-suspend approach. As an example, Fran is set to receive $1,400 monthly from Social Security at age 66. Her husband dies when she is 60. She can get a widow's benefit of $1,430 at 60, but instead she claims her own reduced benefit of $1,050 at age 62, then switches to a widow's benefit of $2,000 at 66 (her husband would have received $2,000 monthly at age 66). By doing this, she positions herself to collect $112,000 more in lifetime benefits.1
Postponement can also be used to enlarge survivor benefits. Let's go back to Terry and Teresa: if they each start getting Social Security at 62, Teresa is looking at a $1,650 monthly survivor benefit if Bob passes away. But if Terry waits until 66 to claim his benefits, Teresa's monthly survivor benefit would be $2,640.1
Details to note. The file-and-suspend strategy is only allowable if one spouse has reached full retirement age. In order for you to claim a spousal benefit, your husband or wife has to be getting Social Security benefits. Applying for Social Security before full retirement age with the idea that your spouse can collect spousal benefits at 62 has a drawback: you are reducing both of your lifetime retirement benefits.5
Only 29 percent of respondents in a 2012 AARP survey knew that waiting until age 70 to apply for Social Security would bring them their maximum monthly benefit. Congratulate yourself for being in that group, and consider the long-range financial merits of claiming your benefits years after age 62.6

From the glittering dance halls of Paris during World War I to
the "maisons de rendezvous," luxurious chateaus in the French
countryside, "The Woman Before Wallis" recounts the untold story of
Prince Edward''s tempestuous affair with a Parisian courtesan and
the scandalous aftermath that has remained secret until now.
Prince Edward was the King of England when he famously abdicated
his crown over his love for the American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
But two decades earlier, he was an inexperienced young man,
stationed behind the lines during World War I, socializing with the
elite aristocracy of Europe while fellow soldiers were being
shelled in the trenches. Gradually, the awkward young man, who was
desperate to see action, became involved in a very different sort
of action--when his path crossed with the queen of the Paris
Marguerite Alibert was a beautiful but tough Parisian who had
fought her way up from street "gamine" to a woman "haut de gamme,"
possibly the highest-ranking courtesan in Paris. She entertained
some of the richest and most powerful men in the world--from
princes to pashas. When the inexperienced Prince Edward was
introduced to the alluring Marguerite, he was instantly smitten.
After their tumultuous love affair ended, Edward thought he was
free of Marguerite, but he was wrong. Several years later,
Marguerite murdered her husband--a wealthy Egyptian playboy--by
shooting him three times in the back at the Savoy Hotel in London.
When Marguerite stood trial for murder, Edward was at risk of
having his affair and behavior during the war exposed. What
happened next was kept from the public for decades, uncovered
thanks to exceptional access to unpublished documents held in the
Royal Archives and private collections in England and France.

"Meticulously researched, and highly evocative... ["The Woman
Before Wallis"] is a fascinating book full of wonderful period
detail and required reading for students of the British monarchy''s
most reviled individual." --"The Daily Beast "
"We think we know the dramatic story of Edward VIII--Mrs. Simpson,
abdication, exile--but "The Woman Before Wallis" shows us we don''t
know the whole tale. Here is a younger Prince of Wales, embroiled
in a "crime""passionnel" the British Establishment had to bury.
From the bloody trenches of the Great War, the infamous "maisons

suites of the Savoy events played out against a backdrop of
"demi-monde" Paris and its beautiful (but expensive) courtesans,

World Soccer views and news
A new Champions League era or just a blip?
As many French teams in the Champions League quarter-finals as English clubs and only one Spanish side through.
Does this mark a sea change in Europe or is it just a freak season like 2004 (the last time two French teams reached the last eight)?
To be fair to Lyon and Bordeaux, they deserved to qualify with Lyon overcoming the mighty Real Madrid and Bordeaux beginning to look a real good outside bet to go all the way. You'd get decent money on Arsenal and Bayern Munich too, who could easily chart a path to the Bernabeu in May.
Eliminated Liverpool are having one of those terrible seasons which afflict top sides now and then but Chelsea's exit and the manner of their weak home defeat to Inter Milan was the biggest surprise of the last 16.
How did Chelsea ever let Mourinho go?
There will be plenty of time to pick apart Chelsea's latest Champions League failure, but for now the question on many a fan's lips on the way out of Stamford Bridge must have been simply, "How did we ever let Jose Mourinho go?"
Mourinho is still Captain of the Bridge, it seems.
The coach's decision to play such an attacking line-up seemed to surprise Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti never really found a way to deal with such an audacious strategy.
Sevilla training ground highlights disparity in La Liga resources
Seeing Sevilla's rather dilapidated training ground for the first time in the beautiful Andalusian sunshine on Monday morning really brought home the gulf in resources compared with La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Currently fourth in the domestic league, a whopping 21 points behind leaders Real and second-placed Barca, Sevilla are the only other Spanish side still alive in this season's Champions League but their Ciudad Deportiva José Ramón Cisneros Palacios is a world away from both the Madrid club's enormous, state-of-the-art Ciudad Real Madrid out near Barajas airport and Barca's gleaming Ciutat esportiva Joan Gamper.
Real Madrid need stability — not another new coach
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will have two conflicting voices whispering in his ear as he contemplates Wednesday's devastating Champions League exit against Olympique Lyon.
His better angel will be telling him to stay calm, remember that the Primera Liga title is still very much in play, that the team has actually looked pretty good lately and that a bit of stability is long overdue.
A quarter of a billion euros doesn't get you much these days…
Uncomfortable questions are being asked about Real Madrid's policy of forking out a quarter of a billion euros on players following their shock elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Olympique Lyon on Wednesday.
Florentino Perez returned for a second term as president pledging to end Real's five-year run of failure in Europe's elite club competition but the nine-times European champions' dream of a 10th triumph in May's final at their Bernabeu stadium was shattered by the French side.
Is Guardiola losing his Midas Touch?
It was always going to be difficult for Pep Guardiola to repeat last year's astonishing achievements when Barcelona swept up six trophies.
Since adding the Club World Cup to their haul in December, they have started to look vulnerable, and, more recently, jaded.
How bad can pre-match entertainment get?
There are 20 minutes left to kick off for VfB Stuttgart's match of the year, a round-of-16 Champions League tie against Barcelona. The game has been declared a sellout. Yet the stadium is only half full.
A last-minute influx fills the ground, many fans literally taking their places as the game kicks off. But who can blame Stuttgart supporters for leaving it so late – there was absolutely no motive for them to arrive any earlier.
Will Mourinho live to rue the Taste of England?
There is a wonderful little shop in the centre of Milan called "Taste of England".
It sells everything a homesick Englishman would want but Italian supermarkets don't sell. Baked beans, rock-hard chocolate bars, Earl Grey tea.
UPDATE: Controversial Champions League gives way to Predictions League!
Well the fight for fourth spot in the Premier League looks like being one of the most intriguing battles in Europe as we near the latter stages of the season. Tottenham and Aston Villa won but Manchester City drew 0-0 with Liverpool in a drab game to leave it all as close as an Olympic downhill.
The Bundesliga and La Liga get more exciting thanks to Bayer Leverkusen and Cristiano Ronaldo while Inter's lead being cut to five points has made Serie A less clear cut.
Protesting United fans need a reality check
Two European Cup finals in two years, three straight Premier League titles, a first ever win at AC Milan and yet Manchester United fans are not a happy bunch.
Before Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League last 16 first leg win at the San Siro, a large group of United fans spent most of the afternoon swigging beer in Milan's central square – Piazza Duomo.

The good news is that this building will go up again in two months as they begin construction and will have the same stores it had.

Faye Craig was crowned "Carnival Queen" and won a trip to carnival in Trinidad the following year.
There were 12 contestants, all from the UK's West Indian community - 6 Jamaicans, 6 Trinidadians, 1 from British Guiana and 1 Vincentian. From left to right, Fay Craig, Faye Sparkes, Charmain Ourre, Shirley Robinson, June Allison Bailey, Beryl Cunningham, Ronia Richards, Carlita Callymore, Monica Dwyer and Terez Wiggins.
The beauty contest was championed by Claudia Jones, a leading Black political activist, founder and editor of the West Indian Gazette, and 'Mother of Notting Hill Carnival'. Claudia Jones was also a supporter of beauty and hairdressing salons run by West Indian women and insisted that the West India Gazette carry beauty tips as way to communicate to a female audience the goals of Black self-realisation and valuing Black women's beauty.

Women's History Wednesday!
When Dora Martin Berry was crowned the first black Miss University of Iowa in 1955, it made news around the world. "It's not the color of the skin that should matter, it's just the person," she told reporters.
Unfortunately things were not as progressive as they seemed. As she explained in a 1997 oral history interview with the Iowa Women's Archives, University administration immediately changed pageant rules to prevent such an occurrence in the future, and cancelled or had Berry replaced in events traditionally attended by the campus queen. Despite facing such discrimination, she still has positive memories of the experience. "I never wasted much time being upset about what they did or didn't do, because they couldn't diminish what had happened to me," Berry told IWA. "That was a gift that is mine to keep."

Summit Notebook
Exclusive outtakes from industry leaders
AUDIO – The "new normal" in real estate?
Not a lot of goodness and cheer in the real estate industry these days.
In the first day of our annual Reuters Real Estate Summit, our first few guests were not seeing a lot of the so-called "green shoots" that other parts of the U.S. economy are supposed to be seeing.
There are still an enormous number of troubles out there — including a lack of available credit and the dire need to restructure many loans made during the go-go days of a few years ago.
While the homebuilders and their stocks have been walloped the past few years, the attention this week (so far anyway) has been on the commercial side.
When things are bad, people often choose one of two routes — 1) head down, full of despair and loathing; or 2) hoping that the worst has happened and better days are right around the corner.
No LUV for China real estate, SOHO says
China's real estate sector has a chilly winter ahead, said Pan Shiyi, chairman of Beijing property developer SOHO China Ltd. And he had interesting, alphabetical way of describing it.
"I look at the shape of the real estate market and I imagine it bottoming out as a letter "L". If after the snows earlier this year, China had loosed up its monetary policy, we would have seen a "V"-shaped market. If they had loosened up before the Olympics, we would have seen a "U". But for them to release new policies now, like reducing the interest rate, it's already an "L". I don't know when the market will come back up."
Khrushchev's legacy lives on Russia real estate market
The chief executive of Russian developer PIK Group sees one guarantee of his future success in an emergency decision made by the Soviet government of Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s. Back then, tens of thousands of cramped communal flats were unpacked and whole families residing in single rooms were resettled into their own bright and new flats in hastily constructed five story kit buildings which came to be known as khrushchevki.
"It solved a problem for millions of Soviet citizens but the lifetime of these buildings is coming to an end," Kirill Pisarev told the 2008 Reuters Russia Investment Summit. "Over a million square meters of housing are in these khrushchevki, which had a planned lifetime of 20-30 years. Now they are 40-50 years old. They will survive another three, five, seven years maximum."
Audio – The waiting is the hardest part
For Marc Holliday, chief executive of SL Green Realty Group and Gramercy Capital Corp, the Tom Petty lyrics ring especially true.
Holliday, speaking at the Reuters Global Real Estate Summit, said on Tuesday that his company is waiting with bated breath to hear about which company has won the award to expand the gaming options at New York City's borough of Queens-located Aqueduct Race Track.
Audio- Brittle China developers an opportunity for funds
LaSalle Investment Managers said its assets under management in Asia could double in the next three years and added it is considering investing in India for the first time. LaSalle Investment holds about $11 billion in Asia property assets under management, and plans to make $10 to $15 billion worth of deals in the next years.
Hear David Edwards, Regional Director speak about the opportunities in China as developers get squeezed by banks and his take on India.
Audio – AMP Capital on what's hot in Japan
AMP Capital Investors said it was planning to boost its investments in Asia properties to A$16 billion ($15.3 billion) and will start by doubling the S$300 million ($220 million) in Singapore industrial assets it has already bought.
The investment unit of Australia's top pension fund manager AMP Ltd is also looking to buy properties, or acquire businesses such as real estate investment trusts and developers, in markets including Japan and China.
Audio – Hope you like vanilla
Plain vanilla, in the box, straight financings are the future, or at least near future, of real estate deals, says Marathon Asset Managing Director Scott Schwartz.
"Either the Street kinda comes back and supplies leverage, or people have to get their returns without leverage. And right now we're at a point where people have to get their returns without leverage. So that's why there aren't a lot of deals happening," he said, speaking at the Reuters Global Real Estate Summit.
Audio – Bubbles are fun — for awhile
Sure thing, kids LOVE the bubbles. The blowing, the running around, the popping.
All the things that gives real estate investors and developers fits.
Any simple search on "real estate" in a news story for the past two years would more than likely also mention the word "bubble". In fact, a quick Google search of "real estate" and "bubble" turned up 998 news stories — in the past month!
Audio – I'll take Manhattan
Scott Latham, one of the most powerful commerical real estate brokers in New York, says that Chinese investors are making approaches to buy Manhattan properties.
"They are coming," he told the Reuters Global Real Estate Summit in New York on Monday. "We've seen them in the bidding process over the past four months on a number of assets we've handled."
Audio – The hits just keep on coming!
So much has already been said and written about the bursting of the U.S. real estate bubble, one might make the mistake of thinking that a widespread rebound is right around the corner.
Well, Scott Latham, executive vice president at Cushman & Wakefield, said on Monday that there are still some discouraging signs out there.

Collecting quotes is what we do at MarketWatch. We listen, we reach out, and ask experts to explain to us what is happening in the world of business. Some of what we find moves markets. Some of what we hear can impact careers. Other quotes portend the start of new trends.
Here's our list of the best and worst quotes of 2013.
— Greg Robb
This first quote defines the year 2013 in many ways as social media innovations moved at lightening speed and traditional media struggled to keep up.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn discovered the power of Twitter this year and he swiftly added $12 billion to Apple's market cap.
President Barack Obama startled Wall Street by effectively making Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke a lame duck in the middle of the summer, much sooner than had been expected. Although analysts knew that Bernanke's term was up in early 2014, many thought he might decide to stay for a third term and help the central bank exit from its controversial bond-buying plan. In any case, analysts had thought an announcement would come after Labor Day. Some Fed insiders thought Bernanke had been ill-treated by the president, with former Fed governor Larry Meyer saying Obama had "essentially fired Ben Bernanke on the spot."
Lululemon Athletica Inc. LULU, -0.02% spent much of 2013 struggling to regroup from "pantsgate," in which the company recalled a line of yoga pants for being too sheer when the wearer bent over. Then, founder Chip Wilson made matters worse when he suggested to Bloomberg TV that the sheerness problem was actually a problem with some women's thighs. When the interviewer asked: "Not every woman can wear a Lululemon pant?" Wilson hedged, "I think they can, it's how you use it." But the dye was already cast: customers took to social media to decry the comment, and Lululemon has yet to really recover. The company recently offered a weak outlook for the next fiscal year sending shares tumbling, and admitted this year's "negative PR" could have an "impact on business."
— Jessica Marmor Shaw
Disgraced Wall Street financier Bernard Madoff had some advice for investors: Be careful with your money. In a prison interview with Marketwatch, Madoff, who is serving a 150-year sentence for a Ponzi scheme, said that scamming investors has been going on since the beginning of time, and is not going to end. The only way to make sure the firm has your money, he said, is to ask for it back.
Debates raged this fall about the tough line federal regulators were taking with the big banks. Critics of the industry argued it is only getting what it deserved after years of misdeeds. The regulators' critics argue that they're driven by political motives, and overcompensating after being asleep at the switch before the crisis. In an interview conducted by Wall Street Journal managing editor Gerard Baker in New York, Bank of America BAC, +0.72% CEO Brian Moynihan was asked if this was a shakedown. His answer deflected the question but seemed to strike a chord.
— Christina Rexrode
Hedge-fund billionaire Paul Tudor Jones attracted the scrutiny of the financial industry when he made an off-color remark about how childbirth distracts women from succeeding as traders. He later called his comments "off the cuff", and narrowed the focus of his remarks to global macro traders. But the fuse was already lit, and his words played into the larger discussion about whether family life impedes career success for women, drawing responses from others who are outspoken on the topic, including Princeton University political science professor Anne-Marie Slaughter.
— Ben Eisen
Whole Foods WFM, -0.84% Co-CEO Walter Robb grabbed attention when he said that the grocery chain is trying to do more than just make money in opening a store in the city of Detroit. Robb said the store was part of the company's new strategy to stretch the culture and look to open stores in lower income neighborhoods. His comments seemed to help the company ride a wave of positive publicity, with National Public Radio recently saying that the store in Detroit was a bright spot amid a vista of "astonishing corruption and dystopian landscapes."
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes' ruling is expected to have ramifications far beyond Detroit especially with other states and large cities like Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago that are struggling with out-sized pension obligations.
Stocks tumbled and long-term Treasury yields jumped after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that the Fed might soon taper its $85 billion-per-month asset purchase plan. His comments came in the question-and-answer session with lawmakers and not in his prepared remarks. This off-the-cuff comment haunted the Fed all year, forcing the central bank to more carefully lay the groundwork for the pull back in asset purchases finally launched in December.
Former PR executive Justine Sacco lost her job with IAC after her tweet about race and AIDs went viral and created a social-media firestorm. Sacco posted the tweet and went on vacation unaware of the furor she had caused. Sacco issued an apology days later, saying she had written "a needless and careless tweet." The incident has caused some immediate reflection on the swift and ruthless power of Internet outrage.
Honorable mention
The director of national intelligence James Clapper's effort to explain why he said in March that the National Security Council did not collect "any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans" has become the stuff of Washington folklore. Clapper got caught out when former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked information about the agency's data collecting on almost every phone call made in the U.S.

"When we're home, we're a married couple. When we're on set, we're actors and we're working. We understand each other and have a great deal of respect for each other and for each other's work. I was talking to our director, Guillermo Navarro, and he said, 'You know, this is really weird.' I said, 'What's weird about it?' and he said, 'Usually when I work with spouses, they're competitive and the two of you are not competitive at all, you're respectful and you support each other.' And again it's that thing that I get to work with Laurence Fishburne. What actor in their right mind does not want to work with Laurence Fishburne? He is phenomenal, warm and gifted, and so that's what I get to do." - Gina Torres (on working with her husband on Hannibal)

USC Upstate Home
Oct. 14, 2008
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Once again, the USC Upstate baseball team will take an afternoon to look back, as the 2009 team will face off against Spartan alumni in the annual Alumni Game on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. at Harley Park.
"The alumni game is the only opportunity the current team has in the fall to play what could be considered outside competition," 12th-year head coach Matt Fincher, the program's all-time leader in wins, said, "so it breaks the monotony of intersquad games. More importantly, it does give us an opportunity to stay connected to our alumni. It gives the players that are in the program now an opportunity to meet and speak to players that have been here previously.
"It's a primary way that we try to grow the program because we want people who've been here previously to stay connected. The alumni enjoy coming out once a year and playing and I think they like getting a sneak preview of what we might be like in the spring. Basically, we just get to be out playing baseball and have a very enjoyable day."
Alumni batting practice will begin at 11:15 a.m. with the game scheduled to start at 1 p.m. For more information on the game, please contact Coach Fincher at 864-503-5135.
The Alumni will face a stiff challenge in the current Spartans, which return six starters and six pitchers from a squad that went 25-29 overall and finished with a 17-16 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference, as the Spartans finished fifth in one of the best baseball conferences in the nation. The Spartans will be led by senior catcher Phillip Morgan (Campobello, S.C./Spartanburg Methodist), who hit .289 with four homers and 34 RBIs as a junior, junior Jimmy Tanner (Fayetteville, Ga./Starr's Mill), who was an All-Star this summer in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, and junior Matt Branham (Columbia, S.C./Spring Valley), who went 6-5 as a sophomore with a 4.04 ERA in 84.2 innings pitched.
The Spartans also welcome a deep recruiting class into the fold, as 15 newcomers are being welcomed to the squad. The team has begun fall workouts, and Fincher said the 2009 squad is already welcoming in the successful system that led to Upstate's eighth consecutive 20-win season.

Does Clayton Kershaw really need another rehab start before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation? Apparently Kershaw himself doesn't feel he does, but the Dodgers are making him anyways. We've seen this happen countless times. Rehabbing players pushed to make numerous minor league starts before being green-lighted to return to their team and teammates.
Kershaw was a bit peeved after learning the Dodgers were shipping him off to presumably Chattanooga for his second rehab start since working back from a back strain. After Don Mattingly announced that Kersh will make one more rehab start, the two-time Cy Young Award winner was asked if he agreed with the decision:
"Not really. I did the best I could. But I'm not going to fight the team if everybody doesn't want me to do something. I feel normal," he said. "That's the hard part, going to pitch another [Minor League] game when I feel healthy."
The southpaw threw a bullpen session on Sunday, and he declared that he was all systems go. It seemed as though Don Mattingly had already made up his decision before the Dodgers' game versus the Rockies on Sunday afternoon, and his main concern was pitch count. On Friday in Rancho Cucamonga , Kershaw made 56 pitches. Mattingly feels that the jump from 56 to at least 90 pitches is too big of a leap, and Kershaw should make one more rehab start to build up his arm strength.
Does Kershaw really need to waste innings in AA-Chattanooga while his team is in Minnesota taking on the Twins? We saw Hyun-jin Ryu struggle in his outing on Sunday versus Colorado, and most of the Dodgers' starters haven't been able to go deep into games this season. Injecting Kershaw back into the rotation would definitely give the other starters a lift and possible extra day rest if scheduled that way. Kershaw would be on track to start Wednesday in Minnesota. Dan Haren is slotted for that start as of right now.
I feel Kershaw is ready to go. Although I'm not a doctor or trainer, I think that another rehab start and extra travel time would only tire Kershaw even more much like the effect the Australian trip had on the ace. The Dodgers have not specified that Kershaw would in fact make a start in Chattanooga, but if he did he would have to travel to Tennessee then on to Miami to rejoin his team.
The advantage to Kershaw making another rehab start and skipping Minnesota would be that he would not have to pitch in the cold. Tuesday's forecast for Minneapolis is 38° with rain and snow! Perhaps Kershaw should piece back into the rotation once they are in the much sunnier Miami.
The good news is that Kershaw feels normal and he is ready to be activated once the Dodgers are ready to let him. While I don't necessarily
agree with another rehab start, I can understand the decision making process which includes consideration to Kershaw's importance to the Dodgers for the entirety of the season and not just one start in Minnesota.
The Dodgers are scuffling right now and find themselves tied with Colorado in second place in the N.L. West after going 4-6 on the homestand they just completed. There's no doubt that the Dodgers are a much weaker team without their key battery of Kershaw and Ellis. Every game without the dynamic duo is one less in their favor. With Kershaw's return immanent, Dodger fans should have a lot to look forward to this season. I miss Kershaw as much as everyone else does, but I want a healthy Kershaw for the remainder of the season and into October.

Drew Likes To Win On The Field And Off
The NFL's 100 million dollar man has a passion for winning. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is well known for his competitiveness on the football field. He also has a passion for winning at the track.
The NFL's 100 million dollar man has a passion for winning. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is well known for his competitiveness on the football field. He also has a passion for winning at the track.
Who says Friday The 13th is unlucky??!!..
The New Orleans Saints and Franchise Quarterback Drew Brees have reached an agreement that will make #9 the highest paid player in NFL history. The 5 year $100 Million dollar deal was agreed to earlier today. Who 'Dat Nation is circling the wagons!
The New Orleans Saints are reportedly about to offer the most lucrative contract in NFL history to their franchise quarterback, Drew Brees.
What's Drew Brees doing these days? Looks like our beloved #9 is putting his time off to good use… driving a cab in New York?! Who Dat Cabbie? Take a look!
5 Star & T-Bone have done it again. First it was 'Free Sean Payton' and now they've come up with 'Pay Drew Brees.' "It's time to give Drew Brees his cheese… Franchise tag- wrong call."
Ya gotta love it! I think I have a new favorite song!
This weekend we learned that Mitt Romney will almost certainly be running against Barack Obama for President this fall, and that New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has cemented his status as an elite quarterback by winning his second Super Bowl. Now imagine a crazy scenerio in which only QBs can run for President.
Jimmy Fallon is doing his program from Indianapolis for the Super Bowl and he invited New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees to be a guest on the show! Taylor Lautner, from the 'Twilight' movies was also on. Needless to say, there was a little competition...
Look out, Payton Manning, Drew Brees is giving you some competition - as a commercial actor! Here are my picks for the 'Best of Drew Brees' off the field.
Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher's mother, Lavoyda passed away unexpectedly Monday. She was 51 years old. The cause of her death hasn't been made public.
Ellen Degeneres spent some time with the New Orleans Saints when they were in California before the pre-season game with the Oakland Raiders. She showed the segment on her show yesterday. If you missed it, here it is!
If you see swarms of law enforcement personnel, a big limo or two and Secret Service agents cruising through the Hub City tomorrow, Former President George W. Bush is coming to town. He'll be the keynote speaker at the Acadian Ambulance Service Annual Paramedics Luncheon.
I was taken aback by Mr. and Mrs. Brees' performance!

How to Get Everything You Want In Life
Get What You Want: continued...
Be a little dramatic. Your "shocked" reaction to a price, even a reasonable one, could bring it down.
Enlist your guy for a little good cop/bad cop act. If a price on a big-ticket item (like a house or a car) isn't as low as you'd like, pretend he won't agree until the figure comes down.
Consider buying multiple items or services at once; a seller who won't budge on a single piece might be willing to cut you a break on a larger sale.
When all else fails, be ready to walk away. If a salesperson is willing to go lower, he'll make you another offer; if he's hit bottom, you can use his best price as a benchmark at another store.
19) Get flat abs in a day
We know, we know. We should have been doing 100 crunches a night for the past six months. But, well, um, we didn't. And now the wedding's this Saturday. Is there any hope? For flat abs tomorrow, "stay away from fruits, dairy, processed carbs, and excessive fats. They can make your body retain water and leave your tummy bloated," says trainer David Kirsch, owner of The Madison Square Club in New York City. We can't promise you'll look like Heidi Klum (one of David's clients), but your belly will be noticeably less noticeable.
20) Shoes that are stylish and comfortable
Think chic comfort is an oxymoron when it comes to your tootsies? Not with these brands!

21) Get unconditional love
"The most likely path to receiving unconditional love is to give it. As some great philosophers-the Beatles-once said, 'The love you take is equal to the love you make.' It's also important to pick the right person. He doesn't have to be perfect, but he does have to have a track record of being present and loyal even during rough times."- REDBOOK Love Network expert David Wexler, Ph.D., executive director of the Relationship Training Institute.
22) Find a last-minute babysitter you can trust.
Your sitter's sick and Mary Poppins isn't likely to drift down anytime soon. These websites are the next best thing. Just type in your zip code and, for a fee (ranging from $40-50 for the first one to three months, $5-10 per month after that), they'll hook you up with reliable child care. Not a bad price to pay for peace of mind; the websites' detailed profiles list things like sitters' certifications (such as CPR), languages spoken, and whether or not they have transportation.

Not fully black and white
Those "black and white" backgrounds aren't actually fully black and white. They're just very very heavily desaturated. There is a tiny amount of saturation still in there though. Nice way of solving the problem of contrasting icons against an unpredictably-colored background, especially when combined with the blur effect.
Not fully black and white
I was noticing the very same thing after reading this hint but wasn't sure if it was for real or if i was just imagining things... there is a teensy bit of saturation left in the pic even on the b/w setting.

Planning a New Spring Color For Your Curls?
Thinking about refreshing or getting new color for Spring?
Ouidad Creative Color Director, Ian Dorey Scott shares his expertise for maintaining healthy, vibrant curls.
Steps you should take at home prior to getting a color treatment.
Prior to your color appointment, I recommend using the Ouidad Melt-Down Mask after you cleanse. This will dose the hair with extra moisture and lipids, providing a healthy canvas to take the color. Do this a couple of days before your appointment. I recommend not washing the hair the previous evening before a color service to avoid any scalp irritation.
How to keep your color vibrant and your curls healthy until your next appointment.
A healthy at home regimen is the key to keeping your color fresh and long lasting. I recommend the entire Color Sense line to all of my clients. This line contains a sulfate-free shampoo, conditioner and the incredible Shine Boosting Color Extender. The shampoo and conditioner both contain UV filters as well as ingredients that fight free radicals and other environmental agents that can cause color to come out of the hair. After cleansing and conditioning, apply the Shine Boosting Color Extender for ten minutes, and then fully rinse. This post-conditioning serum seals the cuticle of the hair to lock in your color and also contains plant-based, broad spectrum sun filters which protects your color in all conditions!
How often should you be getting your color touched up?
In general, I recommend a root touch up every 6-8 weeks and a gloss to refresh the ends. With painted highlights, my clients generally get a touch up every 3 months.
What if you did a home box color or got a bad dye job, what are some things you can do to heal your hair?
Our Curl Recovery Cleansing Oil, Whipped Curls and Meltdown Mask are the first step to reversing the damage. These products all contain our proprietary CR-4 Repair Complex which coats the hair with healing concentrated fatty-acids. You will see healing results instantly! I also suggest to make a consultation with a stylist who can help put you on a personalized recovery track and will give you exact product recommendations.
