Brendan Ciatti-Miller
Account Supervisor
Imagine you're pin #1 on Lane 16 at Memory Lanes in south Minneapolis. Standing 60 feet away, Brendan Ciatti-Miller begins his release. What do you suppose the ball looks like heading your way? Pretty simple. Straight, no spin, every time. It's how he approaches bowling. And just about everything else.
Born in New York City, Brendan moved to Minnesota as a kid and grew up in northeast Minneapolis. He attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison and doubled majored in communications and history with a minor in European studies. Within communications, his focus was film studies.
Favorite film? Dr. Strangelove, of course. "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here; this is the war room!" Even a few minutes discussing film and TV with Brendan reveals a rich knowledge of the medium and a wicked fast retrieval of all manner of trivia and hilarity. He calls himself more of a cinematography guy, meaning he loves to get lost in the visuals of storytelling – the way the image is framed, the colors, lighting, depth of field. That's why Stanley Kubrick and P.T. Anderson make his A-list for directors.
At Haberman, Brendan brings this fluid, well-crafted sensitivity to storytelling in his role as account supervisor. He relishes the chance to work on brands making a positive impact in the world, which is something he experienced early on in his career at Clarity Coverdale Fury working on the anti-smoking efforts of QUITPLAN and Clearway Minnesota. Brendan has also spent time at local ad agencies Preston Kelly and Hunt Adkins.
And no introduction to Brendan would be complete without mention of basketball. He played it as a kid, still hits the hard court as an adult and is definitely in the mix as the Minnesota Timberwolves #1 fan. For instance, at his hoops-themed 3rd grade birthday party, he decorated his t-shirt as a #24 Pooh Richardson T-Wolves jersey. Has anyone ever done that before? No, probably not.
But that's how Brendan likes to roll. You know where he stands and what he likes. Straight, no spin.

Rupesh Paul denies that he's exploiting the tragedy for his upcoming movie 'The Vanishing Act', claiming that the film will be a standalone thriller.
While many have deemed it's insensitive to make a movie about missing Malaysian plane which has not been found, director Rupesh Paul refuses to back away from his plan. The Indian filmmaker has defended his decision to depict the tragedy in a big-screen project titled "The Vanishing Act", which has sparked controversy since it's pitched at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Claiming that "no one has complained yet," he says the film "will not affect any passengers' families." He insists that his movie will be a standalone thriller despite including references to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "It will not be based on stupid things. There will not be a [gun] and there will not be any aliens."
"The controversy will help indirectly, but we are not cashing in on the flight," he adds, denying that he exploits the tragedy. "People do not want a documentary, they want a thriller," he continues, explaining his decision about the creative direction of the project. "Why should I make a movie on anything that does not attract people?"
Claiming that there have been interest in Asian markets, he boasts, "We have interest from Malaysian and Chinese companies for co-productions. The Malaysian company approached me, I didn't approach them."
"The Vanishing Act" was promoted at Cannes with the logline "The untold story of the vanished Malaysian flight." A trailer for the movie teases an intrigue and affair in the cabin before the plane crashes. Paul plans to release it in August.

April 9, 2011
By Cameron Harris, Assistant Media Relations Director
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee baseball team fought tooth-and-nail with No. 3 South Carolina for the third consecutive day, but the big hit eluded it once again as the Volunteers lost 2-1 on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
"We're doing a lot of good things, but not doing some of the things at the right time," UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh said. "We pitched pretty good and played pretty good defense this weekend, but at some point, we've got to get some hits. Guys that have been productive hitters here are not having that kind of year right now. At some point it's got to turn. If we get three hits, we win three games this weekend. They're the defending national champions and it's a very fine line, but we've got to find a way to get to that line.
"They (Florida and South Carolina) are two of the top staffs in the country and South Carolina didn't make an error this weekend. That's hard to do in this game. They didn't walk a lot of guys, they didn't let us in a lot of ways. Their pitching was outstanding. You see why opponents are hitting something like .213 off them coming in to today. They've been doing it to a lot of people. What you've got to do in a series like this is match them pitch-for-pitch and we did that. We just didn't get the hits at the right time. We matched them in hits today and weren't too far apart this weekend, we just didn't get them at the right times."
After getting strong outing out of its starting pitchers in the first two games of the series, the Vols shut the Gamecocks down by committee on Saturday. After starter Matt Ramsey was forced to leave the game in the second inning due to some right forearm soreness, UT utilized six other pitchers to hold South Carolina to just five hits on the day.
After junior Levi Dean got Tennessee through the third with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings, the Gamecocks grabbed the lead with two runs on three hits in two frames of work by freshman Carter Watson. That would be all they could get, however, as sophomores Hunter Daniel, Zack Godley and Nick Blount and freshman Nick Williams kept SC off the scoreboard over the final four stanzas.
Sophomore Zach Osborne and freshman Andrew Toles each posted a pair of singles to account for all but one of Tennessee's hits. Senior Khayyan Norfork had the other and scored UT's only run of the day.
Norfork's hit actually led off the bottom of the first as he helped the Big Orange strike the first blow of the contest. Following his base-knock to left, Toles was hit by a pitch. Senior Matt Duffy then laid down a perfect sac bunt to move them both into scoring position before junior Charley Thurber brought Norfork in to score with an RBI groundout to second to give Tennessee its first lead of the weekend and first since March 30 against UNC Asheville.
The pitching staffs for both teams completely took over for the next four frames as the two squads combined to put just one runner on second during that time. South Carolina broke the scoring drought in the top of the sixth, moving ahead of UT with a pair of runs. Back-to-back singles by Robert Beary and Peter Mooney opened the frame before Scott Wingo laid down a perfect bunt to make it three in a row.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, Watson got SC standout Jackie Bradley, Jr., to line out to right. UT junior Charley Thurber made a strong throw to the plate, but Beary was ruled safe on a bang-bang play to tie the game. Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh came out to argue the call and was ejected by home plate umpire A.J. Lostaglio as he walked back to the dugout following a brief discussion.
The Gamecocks immediately added another run on an RBI single by Christian Walker, but Watson was able to get out of the jam by inducing Adrian Morales to bounce into a 5-4-3 double play. The play was a smart one by UT senior third baseman Matt Duffy as he had a chance to retire the runner at the plate on a high chopper that he had to charge in on, but he made a strong throw to second without hesitation to start the inning-ending double play.
South Carolina put two runners on base once again in the seventh thanks to a pair of walks, but freshman Nick Williams was able to bear down, getting the next two hitters to groundout to end the threat.
Tennessee finally got something going in the eighth, as freshman Ethan Bennett drew a nine-pitch walk after falling behind 0-2. Although he was forced out at second on a groundball by Norfork, Toles greeted Gamecock closer Matt Price with an infield single to put two on. Price then walked Duffy on four pitches to load the bases for Thurber. With the count in his favor at 2-1, Thurber hit a slow roller past the mound that looked like it was going to sneak through the infield. SC second baseman Scott Wingo snagged it at the last second, however, and flipped to the shortstop covering the bag at second to end the inning.
The Big Orange had another opportunity to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth before falling just short. This time, Osborne opened the frame with a sharply hit single to right and moved into scoring position with just one out after a perfectly-executed sac bunt by pinch-hitter Chris Pierce. Price was able to strike out the final two hitters of the game, however, to leave Osborne stranded at second and pick up his third save of the weekend and 10th of the season.
Tennessee will be back in action at 7 p.m. on Tuesday when it welcomes Appalachian State to Rocky Top. The Vols will then hit the road for their second straight ESPNU Thursday Night SEC Game of the Week, which will be pit them against Alabama at 7:30 p.m. on April 14.

International Olympic Committee President Dr. Jacques Rogge headlined an historic fundraiser in Quebec City May 22 that raised more than $800,000 in funds for Canadian athletes.
JACQUES ROGGE (President, International Olympic Committee): Thank-you very much, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's pretty rare these days to be applauded before speaking. Ladies and Gentlemen, Quebec and Canada have a long and rich sports history. And given that a picture is worth a thousand words, let's have a look at a short video about this brilliant past that you have given to Olympism.
– I declare the opening of the 1976 Olympic Games. Let's celebrate the 21st Olympiad of the modern era.
– The opening of the 15th Olympic Winter Games in Calgary.
– Open the games of Vancouver, celebrating the 21st Olympic Winter Games.
[end of video presentation]
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to thank Canada and Quebec for their enormous contribution to the success of Olympism. I would also like to salute and thank the celebrities here today. Of course, Premier Jean Charest, a sports enthusiast; the Mayor who attracted Sport Accord to Quebec, and who is pursuing a dream that, we hope, will one day be realized…
Allow me to pay tribute to our host, Marcel Aubut. I have to say that it is very difficult to say no to Marcel. And when he invited me, of course I accepted with good grace.
Marcel has an irresistible energy and passion for sport. We all know his qualities, his history; 20 years leading the NHL, leading the Fondation nordique that has helped many athletes, and now, for the first time, Francophone President of the Canadian Olympic Committee.
Allow me to also pay tribute to the athletes here today who I have had the great pleasure to see in the parade, but to all athletes that, since 1904 at the Saint-Louis Games to Beijing, have won 161 medals in the Summer Games, and since 1924 at the Chamonix Games to Vancouver, have won 139 medals in the Winter Games, which makes 300 medals in total for all of Canada, 113 of which were Gold. Believe me, this is an incredible performance.
Canada is also a large sport organization country. With the three Olympic Games that you have organized, you belong to what I would call the Sports G6. In fact, only six nations have achieved this: USA, Japan, Italy, France and Germany, and of course, Canada.
And you also have plenty of other projects. For example, the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, and several other large sport competitions scheduled to take place in Canada and Quebec.
And what about the importance of the head office of the World Anti-Doping Agency in Montreal and the extremely high quality lab led by Christine Ayotte that helps us greatly in the fight against doping?
Ladies and Gentlemen, sport has been very successful and it is not your massive presence here today that has dissuaded me. Sport is successful because of massive participation, popularity and audience, collaboration with public authorities and its ability to generate revenue that is reallocated to the foundation of sport.
Let's talk about participation. In most economically strong countries, more than 25 percent of the population participates in organized or unorganized competitive or recreational sports. If you add those who watch sports, and promote sports, one-third of the citizens of these countries have a true passion and practice for sport. It is a remarkable social phenomenon.
Also, let's quickly speak of the audience generated by sports within the media industry. 4,700,000,000 people watch the opening ceremony for the Summer Games and 1,200,000,000 watch the opening ceremony for the Winter Games.
With respect to the ability to generate revenue, FIFA, the equivalent organization to the IOC, like us, generates five billion dollars every four years, of which more than 90 percent is reallocated to the foundation of sport with a particular interest in underdeveloped countries.
Of course this audience participation and popularity would never leave governments indifferent. Governments that know that sports signify health, and that sport is an important education platform.
And it is on this topic that I would like to warmly congratulate the Canadian public authorities for the great support they provide to sport, whether it is at the provincial level, bravo for what Quebec has done for sports, or at the federal level.
In various measures, and also at the municipal level.
In 2004, I was in Montreal and I remember speaking to the Premier about this program [inaudible] that was Own the Podium. There was an enormous amount of reluctance, plenty of doubt and a lot of questions. But you, Mister Premier, believed in it. The federal government believed in it, the economic world believed in it, and the sports world believed in it, and it led to winning all of those medals in Vancouver.
In spite of these great successes, sport cannot be complacent. We have challenges to overcome and these challenges are not material. They have nothing to do with good organization, a World Championship or the Olympic Games, nor with generating large television audiences or large revenues. No. Our challenge is immaterial, intangible. Our challenge is to preserve sport values.
Sport is threatened by doping, game manipulation and fixing, corruption, violence, racism, and a new social phenomenon, which is the inactivity in youth that is leading to obesity and cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
In addition to these dangers against which we must fight, sport also has a social responsibility to support disadvantaged people, to try and bridge the gap between the North that is rich and the South that is poor, which is what we are doing at the International Olympic Committee with our Olympic Solidarity project, in which a major part of our revenue goes to underdeveloped countries.
Social responsibility also means using sport as an education platform. We also have an obligation to respect the environment and work toward sustainable development. And what about women's rights that are still not recognized at their fair value in sport?
Doping is our first and greatest challenge. Doping is detrimental to the health of athletes. It is also detrimental to the credibility of competition, because competition is based on hierarchy and hierarchy has no moral value if it is based on sport, and if there is no effort, there is no moral value.
The third reason for which we are fiercely fighting against doping is that doping can have an adverse affect on sport recruitment. It is mothers who drive their children to sport school, if mothers know that we will not fight fiercely to protect the health of their children, they will no longer bring them up to be sports-minded. They will do other things and we will lose them.
The IOC has been a pioneer in this fight since 1976. And at the end of the 90s, in collaboration with the governments, we created the World Anti-Doping Agency whose head office is located in Montreal, and I would like to pay tribute and thank your compatriot and my colleague Dick Pound who has remarkably presided over the WADA during his first term.
Thanks to the World Anti-Doping Agency, we have made great progress in the fight against doping. Is it conceivable that one day doping will no longer be in sport? No. Let's not be naive, or believe in Utopia. Cheating is part of the human spirit and there will always be athletes that will want to cheat.
But I can say quite clearly that we have made incredible progress over the past 10 years with the World Anti-Doping Agency. We have doubled the number of tests in and out of competition. We store samples for eight years and retest them when new scientific advances arrive on the market. We have adopted the blood profile and we are fighting very hard to research a test for genetic doping that is not yet a reality but will appear on the horizon within five to 10 years.
But I am reassured by the fact that the experts tell us that we will have a test in good time.
A new risk that threatens sport is game-fixing and illegal betting. The development of Flash bandwidth allows anyone from anywhere in the world to bet on sports organisations. And alas bets are quite often an attempt to launder money by the mafia networks.
These mafia networks also attempt to change the game results in order to collect massive profits. It is a difficult problem because we need support from the public authorities, as we do for doping.
Only the public authorities have judicial power. They are the only ones that can listen and intercept telephone conversations, or search a home or premises.
This is why the International Olympic Committee took the initiative to bring together the entire world of sport and all countries in the world that legislated to establish a strategy and policy that will help us fight against this new plague that is truly quite worrisome.
Let's talk about violence. Unfortunately, violence accompanies a lot of large sports competitions. It is quite often the result of youth who have lost hope, who do not have a career, or believe that they do not have a future. And this youth find a sense of community in [inaudible], they find a platform, an outlet to their frustration, which, unfortunately, leads to far too many cases of violence for which there is only one option and that is a direct collaboration between the sport authorities and the public authorities.
In addition to all of these challenges, another problem that worries us immensely is the inactivity, excess weight, and obesity of youth, which is causing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
In developed countries, the current rate of overweight and obesity varies between 18 and 25 percent of youth aged five to 17 years. This is disturbing. It is disturbing and calls for a common strategy among all society stakeholders to fight against [inaudible]. Of course, the role of the parent is that they must know that their children need to move and provide them with adequate dietary advice. The role of the school, which is a mandatory passage for youth, is to provide more physical education, more movement, and more sports. The role of the public authorities is to stimulate sport for everyone. And sports centres must understand that they will have to change what they offer because, in today's day and age, youth are primarily stimulated by computers, television, and mobile phones that provide them with an incredibly motivating horizon, against which sport should also fight because sport today, that was done automatically after work or study in my generation, is no longer done automatically. Sport must regain its place in society and we must help [audible].
The IOC and several large sports organizations also decided to assume their social responsibility. The IOC did this by partnering with the United Nations. We obtained observer status at the United Nations General Assembly, such as the Vatican, which provides us with several opportunities for bilateral agreements with several United Nations agencies. This is why we bring sport values to refugee camps. This is why we bring sport values to areas of conflict where we try to gather youth from both sides in a harmonious and sportsmanlike way.
We are also working very hard with underdeveloped countries and public authorities to build a sport infrastructure, and also intervene in natural disasters with local authorities to assist them in reconstructing their sport infrastructure. We did it after the tsunami in 2004. We did it after the earthquakes in Szechwan, Fukushima, and Haiti, and with mutual agreement with the local governments, we built what was destroyed.
Sport also plays an important role in education. We developed education models with UNICEF and UNESCO that we try and apply to the teaching profession, schools, universities, and the entire education sector.
At the Olympic Games in Beijing, we developed a sport incentive and Olympic sport value explanation program with our Chinese friends that was offered to more than 250,000 schools with 400 million youth aged nine to 15 years. Of course the program is only valid in China, but we did the same thing in India, with more than 20 million youth benefitting from the program. And we are multiplying these efforts more and more with the United Nations, UNICEF and national governments.
And, with respect to education, Ladies and Gentlemen, what about the newly created Youth Olympic Games for youth aged 15 to 18 in all winter and summer Olympic disciplines?
The Youth Olympic Games are not only a sport competition. Youth have their own Junior World Championship for that. It is a high level competition, but it includes a very sophisticated cultural and educational program. We instil healthy and active lifestyle, transmittable disease prevention, injury prevention, doping prevention. We insist on the fact that at the end of their sport career, they must go through a social and professional reclassification and that they must not forget their education. We also make sure that all cultures from the 200 countries intermingle at these Games, and that they know they have a very bright future.
We also fight for the environment, of course. The IOC and the large sports federations generate a lot of public work and we must follow strict requirements with respect to the environment and sustainable development. Speaking of sustainable development, allow me to congratulate you for the passion that you exemplified in this task in Vancouver. There was sustainable development and a remarkable urban, sport, human and social heritage in Vancouver.
And what about the hand held out by the First Nations, the First Nations who provided an extraordinary cultural aspect to the Vancouver Games?
Ladies and gentlemen, may I express the full confidence of the International Olympic Committee for the organization of these games?
Thank you, Sebastian [inaudible], thank you for your team, for the excellent work that you have done within budget and on time.
And I also would like to thank…
…the public authorities in Great Britain. Both from the government and the opposition, and a very great spirit of bipartisan approach to the games, both sides have supported us and this is a rare example and that deserves absolutely following through.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have spoken about the [inaudible] of the sport, I have spoken about the [inaudible] of the sport. And you might think that I have a sombre view on sport and that I'm pessimistic. But no. I remain very optimistic for the future of sport. Sport will remain popular and sport will remain a social asset because sport is about much more than competition alone. Sport is about education of the youth, sport is about social integration. Sport is about health. Sport strengthens the body and the mind. It forges the character, a personality and an identity. It integrates minorities into the mainstream of society. It teaches respect of the referee and hopefully and later respect of the rules of society.
It teaches that you achieve much more with a team and alone. And it is one of the rare social activities that nowadays can offer to the youth joy and a dream.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we can preserve the values, if we remain [inaudible] and strong on values then sport will remain a great success.
And now, to close, allow me to show sport at its best with a short video clip of the Vancouver Games. Video, please?

Subfloor for slate tile on a screened in porch floor
I've read several posts on this topic but I'm not sure that I have found the answer. I have a 12x20 screened in porch (attached to my house) with 16" knee walls topped by triple track storm windows. I remove the glass in the summer exposing the screens and some rain water can get on the floor. I have a pool and dripping bodies have been known to come in and drip water on the floor. The floor joists are 2x10X12 16" on center and about 3 feet off the ground. The decking is 2x6 boards topped by 1/2 inch plywood and currently topped by indoor/outdoor carpeting. I want to replace the carpet with slate tiles. I'm not sure about deflection but I can jump up and down on the floor and it doesn't appear to move. What do I need for subfloor? After removing the carpeting should I clean the plywood and lay the tile on that? Remove and replace the plywood? Add Duroc on top of the plywood? (this option would be tight at the door threshold into the house) Or should I lay Ditra on top of the plywood and follow their instructions? Or is there some other option? And, if it's important, I live in Atlanta so I don't get long severe winters.
Hello scruffy,
I am Gregg with The Home Depot in Chicago. Sounds like you are on the right track. I will be doing something very similar to my porch next summer! For starters the ½ plywood isnt strong enough to directly tile over. Just because you cant feel it flexing and moving when you walk on it doesnt mean that it isnt. The best way to do this project is to remove the existing ½ plywood and put down a ¾ cdx plywood. Since the porch is only 3 off the ground you not only have to worry about the moisture from the pool soaked people walking on the tile, but from the ground underneath it. I would then lay an ice and water shield over your new ¾ subfloor. The ice and water shield will protect the floor from any moisture below. After the ice and water sheild is on I would put down a ¼ cement board. This will add strength to the floor and make a perfect surface for the tile. Let me know if this helps and what your game plan is going to be. My way isnt the only good way so I am also very interested to hear other ideas. Thanks -Gregg
Hi guys,
I have to disagree with Gregg and his method. Several errors. Will you please refer us to the source of your installation method? Certainly not in the Tile Council of North America Handbook.
The first thing to look at is the joists system to make sure they are stiff enough for natural stone. They're fine for regular ceramic or porcelain, but just a bit under spec for slate. Need to know the species and grade of those 2x10's. Stone requires a much stiffer floor than porcelain or regular tiles.
2x6 decking tells me it may have once been a deck. Yes, no? How's the condition, are you convinced it is built well? Are the 2x6's still flat or are they cupped at all? If the 2x6's are in good shape, theoretically 1/2" exterior grade underlayment C/C or better should be ok. It's always better to go thicker. Either remove the 1/2" and install 3/4" (Not CDX though), or even another 1/2" over the top.
Then install 1/4" "real" concrete backer followed by Ditra. Since the walls prevent water run off, you need to treat this like a shower floor, so additional waterproofing is necessary. Treat the seams of Ditra and flash up the walls several inches. (Ask)
Do not place any membrane over the plywood. The concrete backer gets thin set'd direct to ply. Ice and water shield is for roofs. Cement backers do NOT add structural strength to the floor, it only give a tile-friendly surface for the thin set mortar.
The ground should probably be covered with a barrier of some type, but I don't know what is recommended in your location. You must have cross ventilation too and of course good drainage away from the building.
Hello JazMan,
The joists are No. 2 s-dry, SYP. There is some coding before the SYP but it's too blurred to read.
The porch was originally built as a deck with railings around the sides and a roof over it. I'm convinced it was built well because I watched the builder build it. I closed it in as a screened porch in 1990, two years after it was built so I know that part was built really well :laughing:. From underneath, the deck boards lay flat on the joists so I assume there is little or no cupping.
I have about an inch to play with before the floor is too high for the threshold of the door to the house. The tile is 7/16" thick and I don't know how much to add for the mortar. If I add a 1/2" plywood, the backer, Ditra and tile I come up with 1 5/16" without the mortar. Would I use Kerdi-Band as flashing or metal flashing?
Several years ago I laid down 1 mil plastic sheeting on the ground under the porch for a vapor and dust barrier. The front and side openings underneath are protected by lattice so the cross ventilation is good and the drainage is excellent.
To do the job right you'll need to raise of cut the door. The finished floor is gonna be about 1 3/8 to 1 1/2" higher off the 2x6 subfloor.
The Southern Yellow Pine #2, 2x10 joists spanning 12'0" do meet standards for natural stone floor with your double layer of subfloor method if installed correctly and if they're still in good condition.
I can speak to the condition of the ground under this porch. Have you considered any insulation under or between the joists?

It took about two months for Kevin Keegan to sort out the players and team at Newcastle, before they started to play well and in Kevin's all out attacking style.
Kevin Keegan – got great display out of his team in London
The first signs of a new team was when we played Blackburn off the park on Saturday 1st March, but we just couldn't put the ball in the net, even though Michael Owen on that day, by his own admission, had five good chances.
But that was a sign of what Kevin and his staff were doing in training behind the scenes, which was putting a new shape together for the boys and getting them to forget all the defensive views of former manager Sam Allardyce and start to play positive attacking football.
Steve Harper, who's played great for Kevin since he came back, feels it was just a matter of time before the ideas Kevin introduced and the positive atmosphere he and his staff created behind the scenes at the club, turned into performance like that of Sunday.
Steve said:
"When the manager returned to the club I was quoted as saying fasten your seat-belts because it was going to be an exciting ride,†"It has taken a little while to get going."
"It's been a difficult time for us all and difficult for the manager because he wasn't able to bring anybody in during the transfer window. He has been looking at what he has got and how best to use it, but we feel it is coming together.â€
"We went behind at Birmingham City as well. But we responded to that in the right way, we came out and turned the game around in the second half and got the point.â€
"Maybe that was when things began to shift and the momentum came our way. We've followed that up with two back-to-back wins against Fulham and Tottenham and the confidence has returned.â€
"People might have thought he was mad to go to Birmingham with a formation like that, but that trio of Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka and Michael Owen will worry anybody and that is what they have done.â€
And Steve Harper is also hoping a few quality signings in the summer will add even more momentum to Newcastle second Keegan revival.
"We've shown what a good team we could be with the right additions in the summer. That is what the manager had challenged us to do and hopefully this is only the beginning."
"You know, we're not safe yet, we've got some work to do, but the whole place feels a lot better than it did.â€
More performance like that on Sunday will quickly make Newcastle one of the most popular teams to watch in the Premier League again. The attitude of the players on Sunday was first class, and we tip our hats to them. Right until the very end they were challenging for every ball, even though they had already, by that time, decimated a good Spurs side.
We don't think we'll be far off having an excellent side next season, and with the way Kevin plays the game, we'll have to fasten our seat belts next season – we could very well be the surprise team of the season.
Although Mike Ashley's appointment of Kevin Keegan was a calculated risk, and drove us more into the relegation mire than we wanted, it's turning out to be the masterstroke that was needed.
Certainly to see Mike after the game on Sunday, he seemed as happy as anybody we've ever seen, as he was smiling and singing along with the fans. He's just another fan on game days, but he's also starting to see the fruits of his brave decision in January, and with displays like this we think he'll be only too willing to fund Kevin's transfer activity in the summer.
Roll on next season and the summer transfer window.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Re: spare tire CTS AWD
Two months ago I purchased a used 2008 CTS sedan which didn't come with the spare tire kit. All it had was the inflator kit in the spare tire well in the trunk. Not liking the idea of no spare tire, I looked around and priced the spare tire kit. The prices were anywhere from $450 to $900 for the factory OEM Cadillac spare tire kit. So, I looked around and found the 18" spare used and ordered the jack, extension handle, lug wrench, bolt, nut, and black foam holder for the jack, etc. from a GM wholesaler. The 18" spare fits perfectly in the trunk well with no problems. I think this 18" spare would also fit in your 2010, but you might want to check on this.

Re: spare tire CTS AWD
The spare fits but the regular tire will not. I have a '11 luxury RWD and I bought the spare and jack kit from a junk yard. Spare never was never used. Think I got both for $150.

Look at this photograph of the crowd at Mitt Romney's concession speech last night:
Now look at President Obama's victory rally:
Rather more colorful, isn't it?
The difference in those two photographs is this election in miniature. The key conceptual mistake that the Romney campaign, the Republican Party and many pundits made in this race was assuming that the 2008 electorate was the one-off result of extraordinary dissatisfaction over George W. Bush and excitement over Barack Obama. Absent that excitement, they figured, the electorate would settle back to what Dick Morris called "normal levels," which is to say, more white people and fewer young people.
What actually happened was that the 2008 election was partly the result of excitement and anger but partly the result of long-term demographic trends benefiting the Democratic Party. And though the 2012 election didn't feature quite the same level of organic mobilization on the Democratic side, it did feature four more years of that demographic change — and that backfilled some of what was lost by a less inspired electorate.
But the demographics don't much care who's on the ballot. In 1980, non-Hispanic whites — or what most of us would just think of as "white people" — made up 91 percent of the electorate. In 1984, that fell to 89 percent. In 1988, that fell to 85 percent. In 1992, it jumped a bit, to 88 percent. But then it fell to 83 percent in 1996, to 81 percent in 2000, to 77 percent in 2004, and to 74 percent in 2008. In 2012, it fell yet again, to 72 percent.
"This is a trend that has been going on for many years and is likely to continue for many more," says political scientist Alan Abramowitz. "The nonwhite share of the presidential electorate has increased every four years since 1992, growing by an average of 2 percentage points per election." As Jonathan Chait has noted, if the 1988 electorate had featured the same demographics as the 2008 electorate, Michael Dukakis would've been elected president.
"Obama has successfully surfed this wave," says Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN. "But he did not create it. Which is why it may be so durable for the Democrats."
This has been obvious for some time. In 2004, John Judis and Ruy Teixeira published a book called "The Emerging Democratic Majority" that outlined these trends in detail. In 2011, Teixeira and John Halpin published a paper through the Center for American Progress that ran through the data again and concluded that "a reasonable expectation for 2012 is that the minority share of voters will rise to around 28 percent."
Sure enough, the minority share of voters in the 2012 election was 28 percent. They got it exactly right.
The bad news for Republicans isn't what happened last night. It's that it only gets worse from here. In 2016, we can expect the minority share of the electorate to rise by another two percentage points — and we can expect the economy to be in rather better shape.
The severity of the GOP's situation has been obscured by the fact that they tend to do better in midterm elections, where the electorate is older and whiter, and by the fact that the Supreme Court, and thus the electoral college, broke their way in 2000. Then came 9/11, and they won the 2004 election convincingly. But the reality is that the Republican Party has lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, and it's only going to get harder for them from here.
If this election proved anything, it's that the demographics are not going to backslide in the GOP's direction. Rather, the GOP will have to move in the direction of the country's changing demographics. The question of "how" will, I think, be the foremost question on the minds of the Republican Party's top strategists in the coming months.

The high school football gods weren't smiling on Marana last Friday.
Both of the town's teams were defeated on opening day. They have a chance for redemption this week, as Marana and Mountain View revive their long-dormant gridiron battle.
"These kids go to school together and they know each other," said Marana head coach Anthony Coronado. "They've been itching to play against each other for a long time, but scheduling has always kept it away.
"It's definitely a game both sides are ready to play," added Coronado.
While the Tigers are ready to call it a rivalry, Mountain View head coach Paul Schmidt is more hesitant.
"Rivalry games come from playing each other for a long time, and we haven't played each other in a while," said Schmidt.
Rivalry or not, a victory on Friday would go a long way toward developing confidence for two programs looking to improve after difficult openers.
Marana lost to Amphitheater 21-0 in its first game as a member of the 4A Kino region, giving up 272 yards on the ground to the Panthers on 49 carries, an average of 5.5 yards per carry, while the Tigers mustered 74 rushing yards on 26 carries, or 2.8 yards per attempt.
On the positive side for the Tigers, the secondary held Amphi to 16 yards through the air, limiting Panther quarterback Zach Roth to two completions on nine attempts while Marana QB junior Robert Contreras averaged more than 11 yards per completion (3 of 11 for 34 yards with no interceptions).
"Playing Amphi, they're always going to be a physical, pop-you-in-the-mouth team," said Coronado.
"We came out of it pretty healthy, and held our own.
"We were in it all the way to the fourth quarter, and the defense impressed me – they were gang tackling and played good football," he added.
Coronado pointed to the play of Contreras and sophomore cornerback Tanner Morse as positives for the Tigers last week.
"I saw a lot of good thing out of (Contreras) — it was his first varsity start," said Coronado. "He's got that under his belt now.
"I'm also very impressed by Tanner Morse, we hope he can build on that game," added Coronado.
As for the lack of rushing production, Coronado plans to address that this week.
"We have to get our fullback (5-9, 215-pound junior Louis Payne) more involved," said the coach.
Mountain View's Schmidt is also looking to see his team improve after a tough first week. The Mountain Lions lost to Tempe Marcos De Niza 42-7 on Friday.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Padres broke the game open with a 60-yard run from senior running back Ramon Abreu, scoring 42 unanswered points before Mountain View senior running back Myles Williams scored the final touchdown of the contest on a 4-yard run with 3:26 left to play.
Williams finished with 82 yards on 23 carries, and senior quarterback Evan Roberts kept the ball eight times for 34 yards.
The Mountain Lions' passing game struggled. Roberts attempted five passes, completing one to Williams for 13 yards and throwing one interception.
"We've got to improve in all areas, offensively and defensively," said Schmidt. "Now our players know what it takes to compete at that level."
Turnovers were especially devastating for Mountain View, according to Schmidt.
"We turned the ball over to them five times – you just can't do that," he said.
While Schmidt and the Mountain Lions are attempting to correct their own weaknesses, they are also well aware of Marana's strengths.
"Their fullback is a big, big strong kid," said Schmidt. "They've got good speed – they look very big, and they're quick and run fast to the ball. We'll give our best effort to contain them."
As for the Tigers, stopping Williams will be a main focal point.
"Their tailback Williams is a pretty good athlete," said Coronado. "That's going to be key — in high school football, if you can run the ball, you're in good shape. We have to make sure it's kept in check."
While practice and planning take precedence right now, both coaches say they are happy to be involved in the intra-town tussle.
"I hope it will develop into a good, healthy rivalry," said Schmidt.
"We respect our opponent, and I think it's good for the community," said Coronado. "We're excited to get this game back."

Travel Guide Europe Belgium West Flanders
West Flanders is one of Belgium's provinces, located in the northwest of the country. In the first World War I, this was the sight of the trench war. Especially the area around Ypres was one big battlefield. So many granates were fired here, that almost 100 years later granates are still being found by farmers while ploughing their country.
Ostend-Bruges International Airport is about 25 kilometres from Bruges, located near the coastal city of Ostend, but serves mainly as an airport for charter and package holiday flights to southern Europe. Destinations include Antalya, Bodrum, Izmir, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Alicante, Corfu, Djerba, Crete, Kos, Palma de Mallorca, Rhodes, Tenerife, and Monastir (Tunisia).
There are a few connections by ferry to/from Zeebrugge:

Rewarding people for "liking" a brand on Facebook has created some eye-popping headlines. Bing offered FarmVille players three units of "Farm Cash" for friending the search engine on Facebook, and the outcome was 400,000 new fans in a day. Einstein Bagels offered a free bagel to new fans and increased its fan count from 4,700 to near 350,000 in three days. It's hard to argue with success, but could tactics like these come back to haunt brands as the next generation of search evolves in the coming years?
Bing recently launched a new social feature on its search engine. If you're logged into Facebook when you conduct a search on Bing, you will see specially highlighted search results of links or brands that your Facebook friends have liked. The "Liked Results" feature makes sense--it's as if your friends are beside you as you search and chiming in with their personal recommendations.

Comunicado de prensa: Queen + Adam Lambert actuarán en Corea en el SUPER SONIC 2014
Leyenda Inmortal – La primera presentación en vivo de Queen en Corea en el SUPER SONIC 2014, actuando con Adam Lambert
El agosto próximo, Queen, la banda internacional más querida en Corea, actuará en vivo para admiradores coreanos por primera vez. Se unirá a la banda Adam Lambert, presentándose juntos otra vez luego de una serie de conciertos con localidades agotadas en Estados Unidos y Canadá.
SUPER SONIC 2014, Korea's most notable urban music festival, announces the festival and that Queen + Adam Lambert will headline. The announcement comes via SUPER SONIC's official homepage www.supersonickorea.com
As to Queen's first Korean show, Roger Taylor said, "I first visited Seoul on a promotional trip in the early 80's and was so impressed by the architecture and culture. It will therefore be very exciting to finally play a concert and bring the music of Queen to this great city with Adam Lambert".
Queen, formed in 1971, released numerous hit songs throughout the years until the death of the band's main vocalist, Freddie Mercury, in 1991. The band has a special place in rock history and is regarded as one of the world's most beloved rock bands of all time.
Queen has amassed an astounding list of awards, hall of fame inductions, and record sales. Their sales have been estimated to have reached the hundreds of millions of units, and their songs such as: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions", "Somebody to Love", and "Don't Stop Me Now" have been, and still are, loved all over the world. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was voted 'the UK's favourite hit of all time' in a poll conducted by the Guinness World Records British Hit Singles Book. On top of that, the songs "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Queen is the first band in history, in which all members (Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon) have been inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Lead vocalist for their performance at SUPER SONIC 2014 will be Adam Lambert. This move has received lots of praise and created much excitement throughout the music world. "I'm honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie Mercury's memory," Lambert said. "He's a personal hero of mine. I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for Korean fans of this legendary band."
Adam Lambert burst onto the pop music scene by taking second place in the 8th season of American Idol. He quickly became a pop star worldwide. His debut album was nominated for the Best Male Vocal Performance Grammy, and his second album debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts.
He made his debut performance in Korea in February 2013.
SUPER SONIC is held in Olympic Park, Seoul which is easily accessible by public transportation, and has become the representative brand of summer festivals in Korea since 2012.
SUPER SONIC has close partnership with SUMMER SONIC in Japan, and as a result, is able to invite world-class acts by sharing their line-up.
New Order and the Smashing Pumpkins headlined SUPER SONIC's first year. Last year, Pet Shop Boys and Cho Yong Pil (a legendary Korean artist) headlined the festival with great performances. This year, Queen + Adam Lambert will continue this tradition of great headliners.
SUPER SONIC 2014 será llevado a cabo en el Olympic Park, en el corazón de Seúl, durante dos días, el 14 y el 15 de agosto.

NAPA Autoparts
Do you regularly use Napa Autoparts? If so, why? The parts are more expensive than Advance Autoparts or Autozone. Maybe the clerk behind the counter knows more than the Advance Autoparts or Autozone clerk (that's their big selling point), but you probably know more about your car than all of them put together.
Advance autoparts and Autozone have a pretty good selection for modern cars.
The Napa website is a horrible site to use. Advance autoparts and Autozone sites are much better. If Napa depended on my business, they would go out of business.
Maybe I can shed some light on the subject. Here in our town we have 2 big chain auto parts stores. Napa Auto Parts and O'Reilly (Formerly Kragen). We have some smaller part stores, but I will focus on the big ones for now.
While O'reilly is much cheaper, they also don't offer most of the parts, specific tools or gaskets I need. They can look at their computer inventory confused when I ask about specific parts for my daily driver Mercedes. Napa here in town has some of the most knowledgeable guys around. If all else fails, I usually have to go to a European parts place out of town. A big hassle, but its all about selection.
I want to say its like shopping at 2 grocery stores. You shop at the first one for prices, then you go to the second to buy the stuff the first store doesn't stock. Napa is my 2nd, if not 3rd store in line as far as priority goes. They still get my business, but not as much.
Never been to NAPA online. IMHO, the best auto parts web site is O'Reilly, at least for looking up parts online. I don't know how it is to actually place an order from.
I had a hell of a time trying to use the Advance Auto site to actually order parts (they had a promotion going on that was a $20 savings), and not much better luck using the Auto Zone site.
Napa parts are all reboxed major brand name parts. Their good front end parts are Moog, their bateries are Exide, Brakes are Wagner etc. Their website is terrible. Rock Auto has the best online site and carries a huge selection. They see the crap parts and the high end stuff. A lot of time if I am not in a hurry, I get my parts for my car at Rock Auto. It is usually cheaper from there with shipping than I can get locally
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
NAPA online leaves a lot to be desired. But...if you can't find what you need on their website, stop in and talk to one of the more experienced parts counter guys. They'll pull out the old ragged paper catalogs, and chances are they will be able to track down exactly what you need. At least that's been my experience with them. As far as AutoZone, or our local A&A Auto Parts store, I continue to patronize them, but their prices aren't that much less than NAPA. I try spread my business around, and all these places have been a great help in my project. My biggest gripe with AutoZone is they have a tough time finding anything if it isn't listed on their computerized inventory.
You want opinions? Autozone is for buying seat covers and air fresheners not real auto parts from parts professionals.
The one thing you will find at NAPA stores is you don't know what you will find. First off not all NAPA parts stores are REAL parts stores, NONE of Autozones are. Some NAPA parts stores are company owned and ran like a HomeDepot (that ain't good if you didn't know). Most are private owned and are REAL parts stores or close to it. Are their better parts stores, in your town? Could be, but Autozone, Peppy boys Kragen and the like are NOT REAL parts stores. They are where you go to get seat covers and air fresheners.
In my town, NAPA is second, first is a private store that blows our NAPA away. But until I found them I was plenty happy with NAPA as being MILES better than the "McParts" stores like Autozone here in town.
I used to prefer the local mom and pop parts store locally plus the owner lives a half block away from me. Unfortunately they are now selling crap as they have franchised their merchandise. We have an Advance. Thanks, but no thanks. I do buy from them occasionally so I can rent a tool or two I don't own (harmonic balancer puller and a big hub puller). This means I'm 'stuck' with NAPA. They have gone out of their way several times when I've needed parts for one of my vehicles - but real cheap, they ain't. I use Rock Auto Parts on line if I have the time. Even with shipping it's usually cheaper by a lot. You do have to be careful that they don't ship from 2 locations - you'll get socked with a double shipping charge as I learned a while back

Parts stores seem to run in cycles, at least around here. Advanced seems to do pretty well, but then they will get something wrong,like the part or the price or to even order it.The Local store is real ggod about delivery and she is pretty sharp but sometimes she will string us along trying to find something instead of admitting that it is to difficult to get, or she doesnt have a source. Napa has allways been good here. We dont use them much, they dont want to deliver this far from town (11 miles) and prices can be high sometimes. But when it boils down to it, no one bats 1000, not even the best.
I usually don't go to Napa, I use a local Family owned Car Quest which has been in business since 1948. have become Friends with the owners/ operators.
I use Napa for certin things like oil filters, always use Napa gold... I know the people at the local Napa also, but generally I only use them if CQ doesn't have somthing in stock..
As far as Advance/Autozone.. I have bought starters and alternators from them from time to time. there cheaper, they do have a higher fail rate than those that come from Napa or carquest. but when money's tight, they get out a few dollars cheaper. for someone who can't work on there own vehicle, it wouldn't work out.. for other parts, I usually pay for service, and go to CQ or Napa.. as an example. there was a girl who worked at the local Advance Auto. she could answer the phone and run the computer just fine, but had very little automotive knowledge. now works at the KFC next door... There used to be a lady there who really knew her stuff, but she moved on. probably working at a Napa or Carquest somewhere
Here in the "sticks" of Arizona we have Autozone, Checker, and Napa. When I needed a master cylinder for my deuce and wanted a good laugh I stopped in to my local AutoZone. Asked for a master cylinder for a '61 GM pickup. The kid behind the counter looked puzzled and said, "our computers don't go back that far" (in a heavy Hispanic accent). Then for another laugh went across the street to the Checker store. Asked the same question and got the same answer. (Was on my way to Napa anyway so this whole thing was just for fun.)
Dropped by Napa and asked the same question (this unit by the way is a dual master cylinder with clutch and brakes). The GIRL behind the counter asked, "Do you want the GMC unit with the clutch on the left or the Chevy unit with the clutch on the right side ?" They didn't have it in stock but I picked it up the next day.
If you want to buy seat covers, cheap screwdrivers or oil then Checker or Autozone will do. If you want to buy parts where they know their collective do do then I suggest you go to Napa.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just shoot you. - Anonymous
I worked at a NAPA for a year and do you know that once we sold a friggin master cylinder for a 1950's Harley trike! It was in stock at the warehouse! Of course it fit a bunch of other stuff like forklifts or something but we had it.
Heck - NAPA even had a replacement for the chipmunk chawed on heater control valve for my '06 F350 with a V10 gas engine - and those are relatively rare trucks. Their price - competitive. Advance - not a clue as to what I was talking about.

This is no way in defense of Zone/Advance- but both carry good parts/brands along w/the white box brands. You just have to be willing to wait for them to be delivered. And YOU have to be your own advocate- I would never solely depend on ANY parts counterman.
parts stores.....
Hi,i usually go to NAPA for auto parts and NAPA gold filters,i live near a small town,if they diont have the parts today,they can usually have them in 1 day. advance A.P. is a joke,they usually dont have a clue.
While building my car I was in NAPA here at least a few times a week and got the grumpiest old fogey. He groaned when I came in as he knew I wanted something that was not easy for him to find. However he ALWAYS found it. I'm an old fogey too. He was full of knowledge but had to be pried out of him and I was helped immensly because of him.
He used to build and race cars back in the day.
I believe they also have quality parts and may also be more MADE in USA stuff. Although it's getting more difficult to get.
Therefoe I will always go there first just to give them my business. I believe that if I want them to be there for me then I can help insure that by always using them.
I have also traveled the country and gone to NAPA and found the same level of help.
I do like visiting the zone etc. as they have more accessory stuff on the shelf then NAPA.

April 6, 2012
By Brian Davis, Assistant Media Relations Director
AUBURN, Ala.- On a beautiful Friday evening at Jane B. Moore Field, the #9 Tennessee Lady Vol softball team (29-9, 11-6 Southeastern Conference) registered nine two-out runs, posted a seven-tally second inning and got the third career grand slam from sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman in taking its series opener from Auburn (26-13, 5-9 SEC), 9-1 (5 inn.).
Shipman was 1-for-3 with two runs scored and equaled her career-high with four RBIs via her grand slam, giving her a team-leading 41 RBIs for the season. Junior right fielder Kat Dotson was a perfect 2-for-2 at the dish with two RBIs, sophomore Melissa Davin was 1-for-1 with two RBIs as a pinch hitter, sophomore center fielder Tory Lewis was 1-for-2 with a RBI and freshman designated player Cheyanne Tarango went 1-for-3 with her fifth career double.
In the circle sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe picked up her 20th overall victory of the year, taking a perfect game into the fourth inning before eventually settling for a one-hitter with a walk and seven strikeouts over five frames of effort.
"I was really happy with the way we swung the bats tonight against a very good pitcher in Auburn's Jenee Loree," Lady Vol Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly said. "I was especially happy that all of our runs were scored with two outs. I think that's what we're going to need to do if we're going to advance further in the postseason. This is only one night in a tough series though. There are two games left, and I'm sure Auburn will be ready to go tomorrow."
Tennessee managed its initial base runner of the match-up with two down in the top of the first as junior second baseman Lauren Gibson saw a pitch she liked from Auburn starter Jenee Loree and promptly lined a shot through the infield for a single. Shipman stepped into the batter's box and worked the count full before grounding routinely to short as the frame came to a conclusion.
Renfroe got off to a quick start against the Blue & Orange, working through a one-two-three bottom of the first. The Jackson, Tenn., native struck out second baseman Brooke Lathan looking, personally handled a slow roller from center fielder Branndi Melero and induced a liner from shortstop Lauren Guzman.
The Big Orange broke in front on the scoreboard in the top of the second with one of its patented two-out rallies. The outburst got started harmlessly enough with Dotson getting hit by a pitch leading off the inning. A ground ball to second and a fielder's choice that retired Dotson on the base paths threatened to end the scoring opportunity before it even got underway. Tarango set an important two-out tone for the Lady Vol offense by lacing a two-bagger, moving junior first baseman Melissa Brown over within 60 feet from pay dirt. Lewis ripped a hard shot to third that forced third baseman Caitlin Schultze to her right. The ball ricocheted off the tip of her glove and her throw from her knees to first was late as Brown scored to make it 1-0. Junior third baseman Raven Chavanne walked to load the bases and marked the 18th consecutive game that the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native had reached base successfully. That set the stage for a clutch pinch hit from Davin as the Fresno, Calif., product ripped the first offering she received from Loree through the infield, scoring two to make it 3-0. Gibson walked to re-load the bags with the clean-up hitter Shipman coming to the plate. It didn't take long for the 6-1 shortstop to unload them, promptly crushing her third career grand slam to stretch the UT advantage to a commanding seven tallies. A single by Dotson kept things going before a chopper to short finally concluded the frame. Before the two-out assault had come to an end, 11 batters had stepped to the dish in tying for the most runs (seven) put up by the Lady Vol offense in a single frame in 2012.
Suddenly in possession of a huge seven-run lead, UT's 6-0 right hander didn't mess around with the middle of Auburn's line-up in the bottom half of the second. Pitching into her defense, Renfroe got a pop-up from right fielder Lauren Guzman, a liner to second base off the bat of catcher Elizabeth Eisterhold and a high fly out to center by first baseman Caitlin Jordan that was tracked down by UT sophomore Tory Lewis.
The advantage continued to expand in the top of the fourth as the Big Orange again struck with two retired in the inning. Chavanne christened the frame with a lead-off walk and soon moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior catcher Ashley Andrews. With two down in the inning, Shipman reached via an error at short and quickly swiped her 11th base of the season, putting a pair of Lady Vols in scoring position. Dotson came through with a clutch, two-RBI base knock through the infield as the UT lead expanded to 9-0.
In the circle Renfroe was dominating, striking out four of five Auburn batters over a stretch that included the end of the third and beginning of the fourth frames. Unfortunately, that came to a sudden end with two outs in the bottom of the fourth as Guzman blasted a solo HR just over the scoreboard in left center. The AU big fly ended the UT hurler's bid for a perfect game as she has retired 11 consecutive Tiger hitters until that point.
With the Tigers down to one final chance to continue the contest before succumbing to the run-rule, Auburn did get a two-out walk from new pitcher Hilary Mavromat. She remained at first, however, as Renfroe registered her seventh strikeout of the contest by catching third baseman Caitlin Schultze swinging to conclude the match-up.
#9 Tennessee and Auburn continue their series on Sat., April 7, at 1 p.m. CT, in a contest that will be broadcast live on ESPNU.

The Wood Ducks have returned to the Snake river in E Idaho, and they have 25 new homes already installed by the committee members of the new chapter of Ducks Unlimited in Blackfoot, and 25 that are currently being installed by the Eagle Rock chapter in the Idaho Falls area.
These fifty nest boxes are scattered between the McTucker/Springfield area up the Blackfoot river, thru the Firth area to points North of Idaho falls. Three are going in on the South Fork.
If I have my way, another hundred will be installed later this year for the next nesting season.
This program may take several years before the boxes are discovered by the hens, and put to use, but even fifty boxes make an impact!
When installed properly we eventually expect similar results to that achieved in the following link from Holt lake.

I have been working in the Christian community for almost eleven years, five of which have been at Covenant. I love the way Covenant's faculty and staff invest their hearts and time and knowledge into each individual student. No decision or conversation is taken lightly or without the purpose of training these young hearts to be more like Christ. It is a privilege to be part of the Covenant staff and a fellow parent and I cannot wait to see what the future brings!
Outside of school you can find me spending time with my husband, Todd, and our two Covenant students, Cole and Noah, attempting to build quality experiences that they will forever cherish. We have a Dalmatian named Kimber, who keeps us on a very tight schedule and likes to fetch anything and everything you can throw for her. Even if you barely know me, you know that I cannot survive without my coffee!

Georgia Legend Brown Forging New Path
March 6, 2013
When the Southeastern Conference introduces each team's legend at the 2013 SEC Women's Basketball Tournament this weekend in Duluth, Ga., few will have worked as hard or fought through as much as Kiesha Brown.
After arriving on campus as the high school consensus National Player of the Year, Brown suffered a knee injury eight games into her freshman season. Despite this Brown now reflects on the freshman year she spent creating entertaining free throw routines while her teammates practiced as one of the most positive experiences of her life.
"Ironically my freshman year always stands out to me because we had a really good senior base. Being able to see the leadership that they had and that they had built within themselves in order to compete at a high level, it really gave me a platform for what to do when I became a senior," Brown said. "As I grew in my years at Georgia we were able to win an SEC Championship, win a championship at the SEC Tournament and participate in the Final Four in 1999. They left a platform and a status of what it takes to be a leader, as an individual and a unit. We were able to see that as freshmen coming up."
Brown said that she took the experiences and examples of her time at Georgia into her long and successful professional basketball career. While playing for seven WNBA teams and in multiple European countries, Brown's connection to the University of Georgia and the Lady Bulldog program remains as strong as it ever has been.
"I had the opportunity to learn from some of the best people in the world starting with Coach Landers. We speak even more so now that I'm not playing ball anymore. The phone bill gets kind of expensive when I'm dialing from France," Brown said laughing. "He's been very impactful for me and I know I can speak for a lot of young women who have come out of Georgia, he has been more impactful for us as we've joined the work force than we ever could have imagined. Being able to call on him for advice, to lean on him as confidant and just to share a joke with Coach has been really invaluable for me with this being my first year out of professional sports."
Stepping off the court can be a challenging process when basketball has been such a large part of an individual's life for so long. Brown, however, has already begun transitioning into her post-basketball life with an administrative role at her alma mater, Woodward Academy, in College Park, Ga. She has also expressed an interest in basketball officiating and commentating, things at which she has already begun trying her hand.
"I call it finding my major again. Primarily I'm at Woodward Academy right now, doing a lot of things at Woodward helping them out, I call myself the major freelancer," she said. "It's always helpful to be in the administrative side of Woodward Academy. I started officiating, doing that and then I've got my hands into some color commentating along the way. It's all been fun and it's all be a journey for me trying to find my niche outside of the court with the shoes off."
After graduating from Georgia in 2001, Brown has kept a close eye on the Lady Bulldogs. With the regular season finished and tournament time about to start Brown said this year's team, with the large group of senior leadership, has been especially impressive.
"They definitely make the alumni proud. I've been to a couple of games and each game I've seen a different form of Lady Dog there. That's an attribute to those girls right now seeing the history and what was before them and wanting to create that same history for themselves and for the girls that are coming in in the future," Brown said. "Now we have come to a point where we compete every game. I hadn't seen that in past teams after I left. It's a joy to watch the girls play now because they play with their heart and they play with an intensity that we had when we played basketball at Georgia and it's good to see it come back to the forefront."
Brown will join the Lady Bulldogs at the SEC tournament, which is being held at The Arena at Gwinnett Center from March 6-10. No. 3 seed Georgia begins play at 8:30 p.m. on Friday when it will face either No. 6 seed LSU or No. 11 seed Auburn.

text: My car has these symptoms (loss of power, different exhaust note, slight sputtering), directly after I did my headgasket. Now when I put the head back on I made sure cylinder 1 was at TDC, the crank lined up with its marks on the block, and the cams were set where I could slide in the cam plate I could also see the notch on the intermediate sprocket. The notch wasnt directly straight up though it was slightly more pointing towards the front of the motor. I guess my question is do these symptoms seem like it would be a timing issue? I have changed numerous sensors on the motor thinking those might be the problem. Thanks for any help Im running out of possible solutions!!

We have an Elite Series tournament coming up in June on Chickamauga Lake out of Dayton, Tennessee. I was down there looking around a couple of weeks ago and what I found absolutely took my breath away. I can't remember being so excited about an upcoming event.
Here's what I found:
I arrived on a Saturday somewhere around Noon. There was a small tournament weighing in at the time. I'm guessing they started early in the morning and only fished for a few hours. It's been awhile since I've seen sacks of bass like they we carrying around. I didn't pay much attention to the final weights but I can tell you that they were heavy. Their bags were as big, or bigger, than any you'll see in one of our tournaments.
As soon as I launched my boat, I found active bass. You didn't need your electronics to find them. All you had to do was go up to a bank — any bank — and start throwing a spinnerbait. It was bite after bite, fish after fish. I felt like a kid turned loose in a toy store.
Later in the afternoon, I saw a small male bass near a bed. I watched him for a few minutes and, sure enough, along came the female. I'd estimate her weight at around 6 pounds. But then I saw something else moving up, towards the bank. It was another female.
I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I tell you she dwarfed the 6-pounder. I'd guess her weight to be at least 12 pounds, maybe even bigger than that.
She never did move up on the nest, and I wasn't able to catch her. That's OK as far as I'm concerned. Just seeing a bass that big outside of Florida made my whole day, at least until I started back to the ramp.
On my way back, I passed by a riprap bank. It was fairly long and, to my surprise, there were guys catching bass from the bank near it. They weren't inexperienced anglers, nor were they crappie fishermen. They were serious bass anglers with top-of-the-line tackle and baits. Apparently it was easier to walk the bank than it was to launch their boats.
And all that was just on a short Saturday.
Looking back on the whole trip, I can't ever remember feeling the way I did. It was truly extraordinary. I can only imagine what it'll be like when over 100 Elite Series anglers hit that water.
I don't have any experience on Chickamauga so I can't say what the postspawn bite will be like. I suppose it's possible that the lake will get tougher but that will only slow us down. It won't stop us.
A lot of times you'll see lakes like this produce for a year or two and then slow down. If I were a recreational angler, I'd get down there this year. I wouldn't wait. You don't need a big, fancy boat to fish it, either. There's a ramp on every creek, and the lake is easily navigable in a smaller aluminum rig.
Go get them, guys!
