Official Tournament Site | Rockford/Spalding box | DePauw/Rose-Hulman box
Greencastle, Ind. - Top-ranked DePauw advanced to the championship game of the Amy Hasbrook Memorial Tournament after topping Rose-Hulman, 79-36, in today's second game.
The Tigers (10-0) will face Rockford (2-9) in tomorrow's 5 p.m. title game after the Regents defeated Spalding, 66-62, in the opener. Rose-Hulman (3-7) and Spalding (2-5) battle for third place at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
DePauw jumped out to an early 14-5 lead after Ellie Pearson converted a three-point play with 14:30 left in the half, but the Engineers scored six straight to trim the lead to 14-11 with 12:09 left in the half.
The Tigers then knocked in nine of their next 13 field goal tries over a span of just under six minutes for a 20-0 run and a 34-11 lead. DePauw went to the break with a 40-21 cushion.
Continuing to take the ball inside, the Tigers scored the first nine points of the second half. Ali Ross started the run with a layup before Savannah Trees added a three-point play followed by Alex Gasaway's two free throws and another Trees layup with 15:47 left to extend the lead to 28.
"It's good to get that win as you're always worried about how the team performs after not playing for so long," DePauw head coach Kris Huffman said.
Gasaway paced DePauw with 16 points and three steals, while Kate Walker and Alison Stephens followed with 12 each and Kathleen Molloy added 10. The dozen markers for Stephens was a career best. Ellie Pearson snagged a game-high 10 rebounds as the Old Gold held a 40-27 edge on the boards and a 23-6 margin in second-chance points.
Sheree Williams and Addie Johnson each scored eight for the Engineers with Johnson grabbing five rebounds.
DePauw turned the ball over just eight times to the Engineers' 27 which resulted in the Tigers enjoying a 39-3 advantage in points off of turnovers. The victory was DePauw's 35th straight in regular season play.
In the day's opening game, Rockford took a 39-21 lead into the intermission, but Spalding turned the tables in the second half with a 30-7 run to take a 51-46 lead. The Regents regrouped, regained the lead and then nailed eight-of-eight free throws in the final 3:09 to seal the win.
Erin Ryczek paced Rockford with 16 points, while Nicole Lawler grabbed nine rebounds. and Cierra Johnson dished out five assists with six steals. Kelly Harrod paced Spalding with 18 points and 11 rebounds and shared team honors with Lindsey Roarx with four steals.

Are NFL kickoffs in their final days?
Nothing's official, of course, but it's clear the league is determined to find a safer alternative to one of football's most exciting plays.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said this week that the competition committee will look into ways of eliminating kickoffs, thereby reducing the likelihood of head injuries and other catastrophic outcomes. This isn't idle talk. The league could be facing billions in damages as a result of head-injury lawsuits, and those would outweigh any arguments about the sanctity of the game.
Promoting touchbacks by moving kickoffs up five yards has reduced the number of injuries, according to committee member Jeff Fisher, but that's obviously not enough for the league's liking. The idea of making a drastic change has gathered momentum among the NFL's most influential decision makers, according to people within the league. The issue will be a major topic of discussion at the annual meetings in March.

General education: Not just something to "get out of the way"
May 9th, 2013 | Dr. Joy Qualls
If there is a dreaded subject to the college student, it may very well be "general education." Generals, as they were often called when I was a student, were classes you were "forced" to take in order to get your degree and often students did whatever they could to "get them out of the way" so they could get to their "real" classes in their majors and/or minors. I was one of those students. What I did not expect when taking general education classes was that the foundation of who I was becoming was being formed in those classes as much if not more than in my major related courses. Let me explain.
I knew what God had called me to in terms of study. I had a passion for those subjects and couldn't wait to jump into that material. My general education classes required me to step outside of my comfort zone, my personal interests, and sometimes my motivation level.
I, too, spoke those dreaded words, "When am I ever going to use THIS?" What I didn't know was what I didn't know.
I didn't know that studying sociology would give me a perspective on human behavior and social structures that would help me formulate discussions among constituent groups in my role as a staffer in the United States Senate. I didn't know that biology would help me understand what the doctor was explaining to my husband and me when we received some rather frightening news about our unborn baby. I didn't know that art and music would give me a perspective on the world that would attract the guy with season tickets to the opera to one day become the man I would spend the rest of my life with in marriage.
What I didn't know is just how much those "generals" would take on specific meaning in different areas of my life and how God would use those classes to form me and shape me into who He wanted me to be.
At Evangel, our general education courses are unique. It is not a cafeteria of random classes that students arbitrarily select to feed our education requirements. Rather, our general education has been designed and structured around the central principles of what the Evangel experience is and who we are a community. At the center of the courses is our commitment to the integration of faith and learning (not just praying before class starts, but seeing who God is and his relationship with us) as well as a variety of subject areas that on the surface may appear to be distinct, but which all play a role together to form who we are as people, as a church, and as a society.
Part of why I choose to spend my career at Evangel is because of the distinctive nature of this community and our curriculum reflects this distinction. Rather than looking at general education as something to "get out of the way" we believe every aspect of your time here at Evangel is distinct and you never know — God may just use that "general" in a way you never expect.

After months of arbitrary offseason shuffling, we finally have some actual games to base these rankings off of. All 14 ACC squads were in action last week, and while many performed admirably, several manged to disappoint as well. Check out the list below, and weigh in down in the comments if you disagree.
1. Florida State Seminoles (LW: 1): The Seminoles did a commendable job pummeling Murray State on Saturday. And that defense — just as impressive as they've ever been. Unfortunately, however, the big win came with a steep price. Star defensive end Brandon Jenkins injured his foot, and is now out for the remainder of the season. We won't know how much the loss affects FSU this week, but once the real slate starts, it'll be all too apparent.
2. Clemson Tigers (LW: 2): Everything about Saturday's win over Auburn was exceptional. Andre Ellington's ground game. Tajh Boyd's ability to make plays work through the air and on the ground. The offensive line's maturity right in front of our eyes. And of course, the defense quickly showing they'd learned a thing or two from new coordinator Brent Venables.
3. North Carolina Tar Heels (LW: 6): Everyone worried about how Giovani Bernard would fit into Larry Fedora's offense. After the 62-0 drubbing they handed Elon, I think he'll fit in just fine. Three TDs on just 12 touches will do that sort of thing. Obviously there's more difficult opponents out there, but the big win appears to be an appetizer for what's in store for this offense.
4. Virginia Tech Hokies (LW: 3): Another slow start for the Hokies, though this year, they manage to win the opener. If Virginia Tech gave the game ball to anyone on Monday night, it should've been handed right over to their opponent's QB. Aside from their late drive for the game-tying field goal, the offense appeared listless and the O-line issues are real.
5. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (LW: 5): The Ramblin' Wreck played a hell of a game on defense, getting after Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas and disrupting the entire flow of their offense. But when it came down to stopping them late in the fourth, they just couldn't get it done. Oh, and then there's Tevin Washington's little mishap. If he continues making those sorts of decisions, he won't be under center much longer.
6. Virginia Cavaliers (LW: 7): Fresh off winning the starting QB job, Michael Rocco did just fine in his season debut, throwing for over 300 yards, with a touchdown too. With a surprisingly high-powered offense, the Hoos put this one away early and gave off the poise of a team ready to prove last year was no fluke.
7. Miami (FL) Hurricanes (LW: 11): The 'Canes defense may still need some help, but as long as freshman running back Duke Johnson is carrying the ball, Miami may end up much better than advertised (by me, at least). It's a young group, so experience will come with more games. But for now, they're looking like a team that could put a scare into some folks.
8. NC State Wolfpack (LW: 5): The myth's been busted. Star corner David Amerson is not bulletproof, but rather, has found himself in particularly advantageous positions when it comes to interceptions. The young man's not a fraud, of course. But it'll be interesting to see if other teams decide to attack him the same way Tennessee did last Friday. If so, it'll end up defining his football career (for better or worse).
9. Syracuse Orange (LW: 9): After this weekend's brutal 42-41 loss, there's little you can do as a team but collectively regroup and learn from your mistakes. As has been a consistent issue, the mental errors and crunch-time defense lacked the Orange once again. In newer developments, SU currently has the country's best passing offense, with some truly horrifying possibilities for opposing defenses.
10. Duke Blue Devils (LW: 13): For the first time in a long time, there may be something to believe in at Duke. Sure, it's only been one game, but many suddenly have a sneaky suspicion about the Blue Devils' chances against Stanford next week. With that lights-out passing game, and a few lucky breaks on defense, believe that the big upset can absolutely happen in Palo Alto, Calif.
11. Boston College Eagles (LW: 12): This team looks like it's been born anew, and I'll readily admit this ranking probably doesn't seem fair considering the effort the Eagles put in on Saturday. Last year's squad was tepid, boring and uneventful. This year, no matter the record, it appears we'll be watching a fun, exciting BC team led by the throwing arm of former mortal Chase Rettig.
12. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (LW: 10): I wasn't aware rain gave FCS teams superpowers, Wake Forest. The Deacons were outplayed badly this weekend, yet managed to eek out a disaster-averting 20-17 victory over Liberty. Among many other things, they'll need to work on rushing the passer, pass protection and now, the running game too after losing RB Josh Harris (again).
13. Pittsburgh Panthers (LW: 8): I'm not sure we can use the six pre-game suspensions to explain away Pitt's embarrassing two-TD loss to Youngstown State. But from what we saw on the field, it's obvious there's plenty more work to do for the Panthers to begin their rebuilding process. The vaunted rushing game was a non-factor, and their defense — another supposed strong point — appeared weak in comparison to a FCS school. Not a great start for new head coach Paul Chryst.
14. Maryland Terrapins (LW: 14): We can all agree that a 7-6 win over William & Mary is pretty much the same thing as a 7-6 loss to them, no? There's opportunities to build over the course of the season, and I have no doubt that QB Perry Hills will improve his game over time. That said, if you're going to be held to single-digit scoring by a CAA team, then you're probably headed for a very difficult season.

http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2012/09/2...ster-released/The Hawks initial training camp roster features 18 players, five more than the 13 currently under guaranteed contracts.
Additions to the roster are James Anderson, Keith Benson, Damion James, Carldell Squeaky Johnson and Anthony Tolliver. Benson and James are former Hawks draft picks.
It is possible the Hawks could add a player in the next day or two before the start of training camp with a media day on Monday and first practice on Tuesday.
Its really just a matter of getting everybody in [camp], coach Larry Drew said of his roster of veterans, rookies and invitees. Once you get all the pieces to the component, then you can really see how guys gel off one another and who plays well with one another.
Many Hawks players have been at Philips Arena the past several weeks working out on their own.
* Anderson is a former first-round pick of the Spurs in 2010 (20th overall). The 6-foot-6 guard played in 77 games over the past two seasons with an average of 3.7 points and 1.3 rebounds.
* Benson is a former Hawks second-round pick in 2011 (48th overall). The 6-11 forward/center was waived prior to the start of the season. He appeared in three games for the Warriors last season.
* James was selected by the Hawks in the first round in 2011 (24th overall). His rights were traded to the Nets on draft night. The 6-7 forward played in 32 games for the Nets, including 16 starts, and averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds.
* Johnson appeared in 15 games for the Hornets last season. The 5-10 guard averaged 1.8 points and 1.5 assists.
* Tolliver played the past two seasons for the Timberwolves. The 6-8 forward has also played for the Spurs, Trail Blazers and Warriors. He has averaged 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in four seasons.
The remaining players under contract with the Hawks are: Devin Harris, Al Horford, John Jenkins, Ivan Johnson, Kyle Korver, Anthony Morrow, Zaza Pachulia, Johan Petro, Mike Scott, Josh Smith, DeShawn Stevenson, Jeff Teague and Lou Williams.

Vin Scully, marching to the middle of the field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in all his red-roaring glory, was on time.
Yasiel Puig was not.
Sandy Koufax, sprinting out of the dugout to home plate to catch that pitch amid shrieks of surprise, was on time.
Yasiel Puig was not.
The best of Dodgers history and majesty showed up as scheduled Friday in what should have been a glorious 53rd home opener at Dodger Stadium.
If only their most exciting young player of the present had shown this game the same respect.
Puig was about 45 minutes late for batting practice, benched against the San Francisco Giants as the distracted Dodgers were thrashed, 8-4, and why are people still defending this kid?
Missing a cutoff man is one thing, missing the start of your workday is another. He didn't run into an out in the ninth inning, he walked into a clubhouse a full two hours after most of his more earnest teammates had already showed up. This wasn't some cricket field in Australia, it was Dodger Stadium during the team's most celebrated home game of the regular season.
When does youthful carelessness become arrogant insouciance? When does one kid's growing pains become a throbbing ache that affects an entire clubhouse? And when will Puig's defenders realize these are not the old-school rantings of some stodgy sportswriter, but the fears of the entire Dodgers organization?
For one of the first times Friday, Manager Don Mattingly showed the depth of those fears in his willingness to sacrifice his lineup card for a lesson in accountability.
"It's just a situation where he was late today and, at that point, I just couldn't play him,'' Mattingly said afterward.
This was the second time in Puig's 10-month major league career he has been benched at the start of a game for disciplinary reasons. Yet last season in Miami, Mattingly eventually inserted him as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning, Puig's homer won the game, and the lesson was lost. Puig was given no such forgiveness this time, as he never appeared close to being used as a pinch-hitter, even though Mattingly kindly claimed otherwise.
"If we get enough guys on, I would have used Yasiel today, that wasn't even a question," said Mattingly. "He felt bad he wasn't here, I truly believe that.''
Puig stepped on to the field about 10:25 for batting practice that began with stretching at 9:40 a.m. Puig said he thought the pregame workout started later, implying he didn't receive the scheduling text the team sent to everyone.
Once here, Puig was subjected to a pregame lesson from Adrian Gonzalez, playful ribbing from Chone Figgins in the dugout, and later sharp questioning from media members who swarmed his locker while he quietly apologized to teammates and Dodgers fans.
"It's my fault, it's not anyone else's fault," said Puig in Spanish, his hands tucked behind his back and his head bowed. "I didn't play because I was late.… I ask [Mattingly] and my teammates for forgiveness…. I also want to apologize to the fans."
Gonzalez, who purposely has a locker next to Puig in hopes that the kid can learn form his veteran presence, said there's only one way to tell whether Puig is truly sorry.
"It's not about apologizing to us, it's about getting here on time," said Gonzalez. "That's where you show you really meant it. You show up late again, it means you didn't mean it. It's not about what he says, it's about what he does."
When asked whether he offered any specific advice, Gonzalez smiled and said, "Yeah, get ... here on time."
Puig's sudden absence seemingly affected the play of the man who replaced him, with Matt Kemp in the middle of the trouble as the Giants took an 8-0 lead in the first two innings. Kemp was initially and angrily on the bench despite being activated from the disabled list. Suddenly thrust back into the lineup, Kemp botched a single from Mike Morse in the first inning, leading to one of the runs. He then missed the ball on a running, leaping attempted catch of a liner from Brandon Hicks in the second inning, leading to another run.
"If you're not in the lineup, you're supposed to be mad,'' said Kemp of his initial attitude.
And then when he was suddenly pushed into the game, in a moment so emotional his mother later hugged him and cried?
"I'm sure it was a little bit of a distraction,'' said Mattingly
After Kemp missed the fly ball, fans began chanting, "We want Puig ... we want Puig.'' But at this point, finally, the voices of those who want to educate Puig are louder than those who want to continue to enable him.
"I support the manager's decision, the manager tells a player to be there on time, its his discretion not to start him, whether it's opening day or the playoffs or any other day,'' said Bobby Patton, one of the Dodgers co-owners who frequently flies here from his Fort Worth, Texas, home to watch his team play. "I'm sorry for the fans, I'm sorry for myself, I came a long way to watch him myself ... but if that's what the manager thinks, that's what we need to do.''
Puig should be back in the lineup Saturday afternoon against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Stretching is at 10:05 a.m. It's written right there on the greaseboard next to Yasiel Puig's locker.

A suspect wanted following a shooting in Herftord County that prompted a lockdown of several schools this week has been arrested in Virginia.
The Henrico County Police SWAT team near Richmond arrested 35-year-old Terrence Faison Friday morning.
The shooting in Ahoskie happened Tuesday where a teenage boy was shot at the Pine Gate Apartments near Ahoskie Elementary School.
That school and several others were placed on lockdown while officers searched for Faison.
Police have identified the man they say shot a teenage boy at an apartment complex Tuesday, prompting three area schools to go on lockdown.
Ahoskie Police said they are looking for 35-year-old Terrence Faison.
Faison is accused of shooting a teenager at the Pine Gate Apartments Tuesday afternoon, across the street from Ahoskie Elementary School.
The elementary school, Bearfield Primary, and Hertford County High School all went into lockdown mode a little after 2 p.m. after the shots were fired.
Neighbors in the area tell reporters Faison had a court date Tuesday, and after court, he went to his girlfriend's apartment at Pine Gate and shot the teenage boy who was there with her.
Police have not released the name of the victim or his condition.
Investigators said they searched every bus and school building before lifting the lockdown and releasing students.
Faison has already served prison time after a second degree murder conviction in Hertford County from 2005.
The Roanoake-Chowan News Herald reports Faison served a little more than nine years in prison for that conviction.
Police said he is to be considered armed and dangerous.
If you see Faison, you are asked to immediately call 911 or police at (252)-332-5012.
WITN has confirmed three schools were put into lockdown in Ahoskie about 2:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Hertford County High School, Bearfield Primary and Ahoskie Elementary were all locked down.
School officials tell WITN News it was a precaution after shots were fired in a nearby neighborhood. There's no word if anyone was shot.
Officials say the suspected shooter was still on the loose at last update, so law enforcement contacted the school system as a precaution.
School officials told us at 3 p.m. that buses are being loaded under the guidance of law enforcement.

Picked up a used AX10 from my buddy. I dunno how impressed I am yet, i havent been able to really abuse it. My main complaint right now is the lack of turning radius... but i am sure that is because it has spools in the front & rear diffs.
That and the flex is kinda funny. The front has less flex than the rear.

I think this is going to be one of my new addictions! I've been youtubing for a couple days and ebaying too until I find the right deal. I think I'm gonna go with a Losi mini for me and a micro for the kid (me too) . It looks like fun, and I think I'll be better off with the smaller scale crawler because of the area it takes to play.
Any feedback?
good plan.go to RCCRAWLER.com?and you can find all of hte tips and tricks.there is a good FAQ.i love mine, and i bought the boy one for his birthday.

Its a great little crawler right out of the box, but best inside on the couch... has trouble outside on the rocks. The 1st modification you'll want to do is weigh the wheels and change the tires out for a softer/stickier tire.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Archived News Release — Caution: Information may be out of date.
Press Releases
Date: May 3, 2012
Contact: Scott Allen or Rhonda Burke
Phone: (312) 353-6976
U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 12-800-CHI
US Labor Department obtains judgment against Illinois-based Skokie Maid; more than $500,000 in unpaid wages, damages to be paid to 75 misclassified workers
Company also assessed more than $70,000 in civil money penalties for FLSA violations
CHICAGO -- Judge James F. Holderman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has issued a default judgment against Skokie Maid and Cleaning Services Ltd. in Skokie, for failing to answer a complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Labor seeking a total of $501,893.44 in back wages and liquidated damages for 75 workers. The lawsuit, which resulted from investigations conducted by the department's Wage and Hour Division, alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act's minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions.
"It is unacceptable for any employer not to pay workers their rightfully earned wages or to classify workers as independent contractors to circumvent wage laws," said Karen Chaikin, acting regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Midwest. "The Labor Department is committed to seeing that these workers are compensated in accordance with the law."
The suit alleged that the company, which operates as Skokie Maid misclassified 75 current and former cleaning employees as independent contractors and willfully failed to pay them for all hours worked. The employees also were not compensated with overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 per week, as required. Finally, the defendant failed to keep proper payroll records.
The judgment requires the defendant to pay $250,946.72 in back minimum wage and overtime compensation plus an equal amount in liquidated damages for the period of Nov. 16, 2008, to July 31, 2011. It also enjoins the company from future violations of the FLSA's record-keeping requirements.
The case was litigated by the department's regional solicitor in Chicago. Due to the willful nature of the minimum wage and overtime violations, the Wage and Hour Division has assessed civil money penalties of $70,125.
The misclassification of employees as independent contractors is an alarming trend, particularly in industries that often employ low-wage, vulnerable workers and in which the Wage and Hour Division historically has found significant wage violations. The practice is a serious threat both to employees entitled to good and safe jobs, as well as to employers that obey the law. Too often employees are deprived of overtime and minimum wages, and forced to pay taxes that their employers are legally obligated to pay. Honest employers have a difficult time competing against scofflaws. The Labor Department is committed to ensuring that employees receive the pay and benefits to which they are legally entitled, and to level the playing field for employers that play by the rules.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular hourly rates for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Additionally, the law requires employers to maintain accurate time and payroll records, and prohibits retaliation against employees who exercise their rights under the law.
For more information about the FLSA and other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Personal information charter
This information charter sets out the standards you can expect from Companies House when we request or hold information, including but not limited to personal data about you or your enquiries.
The charter covers personal data that the Registrar of Companies holds in connection with his obligations under the Companies Act 2006 and related legislation. This charter will be reviewed annually and updated to take into account any changes in legislation or our policies
In the course of maintaining and administering the public register, we'll hold personal information about individuals that will fall into the categories of public and non-public data.
Information is held on a variety of databases, information stores and systems. We have security measures in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and data.
Companies House stores company information on the public register.
This will include information about:
- a company's incorporation
- company accounts
- annual returns
- director or secretary appointments
- shareholder information
When a person is appointed as an officer of a company, the Companies Act 2006 requires certain information to be included as part of their appointment.
For a director this will include:
- name
- address
- occupation
- nationality
- date of birth
This doesn't conflict with the Data Protection Act. Section 34(c) states that personal data is exempt if the data controller is duty bound to make it available to the public.
The date of birth is an important piece of information. It allows the information held by Companies House to be as unique as possible, and for those searching information at Companies House to establish identity.
Directors must provide a service address for the public record, which may be different from their usual residential address (URA).
All URAs are kept on a separate record to which access is restricted. In certain circumstances individuals may be able to restrict the disclosure of their URA.
We keep statutory information for live companies indefinitely. We publish statutory information for dissolved companies for 20 years after they are dissolved. This dissolved information can still be requested from Companies House or the National Archives.
Public data
Under the Companies Act and related legislation, we will:
- only ask for relevant information
- put this information on the public record
- make it available to the public
As the Companies Act 2006 requires us to keep the public register, we have no control over the actions of anyone who obtains or uses data from it. This includes people using internet search engines.
Non-public data
When we request personal information, we will:
- make sure you know why we need it
- collect only relevant information
- protect it and make sure nobody has access to it who shouldn't
- only keep it for as long as necessary
In return, we ask you to:
- give us accurate information
- tell us as soon as possible if there are any changes
Contact the information rights team email@example.com for further information about:
- how to find out what information we hold about you
- when we pass on your personal information without telling you - for example, to prevent crime or to produce anonymous statistics

Chelsea are prepared to sell striker, Fernando Torres, for £35 million less than what they signed him for back in January of 2011.
The club signed the Spaniard from Liverpool for a fee of £50m, but he has never been able to find his form that he showed at Liverpool and has failed to settle in at Chelsea despite being at the Bridge for two years.
It is reported that mega-rich Russian side, Anzhi Makhachkala, are interested in signing the striker at the end of the season, but it is thought that Torres would prefer a move back to his home country with ex-club, Atletico Madrid interested.
If Madrid do offer for Torres, this may see Chelsea try and buy Radamel Falcao off them, who has been a long-term interest of Roman Abramovich and he could be prepared to make a bid for him this summer.
A source close to the Chelsea chairman has revealed that the Russian is fed up with Torres and has accepted that the £50m signing has been a waste of money and a failed experiment.
Last night, a source close to Abramovich said: "Roman will now sell Torres – if he can get the right offer."
It is reported that the 'right offer' will be around just £15 million. Torres has never settled since joining the Blues for such a high fee in 2011 and with the recent edition of Demba Ba and Romeo Lukaku to return to the club it may mean end to his Stamford Bridge career.

The hospital is still treating patients in emergency situations but is asking people with minor ailments, such as sore throats or sprained ankles, to contact their regular providers, Okun said.
We're in a sad state when people need to go to the hospital to deal with sore throats and sprained ankles.
And when hospital computers run Microsoft operating systems!
You can dynamically add volumes to the JES2 spool. No need for an IPL. That's what your system programmer should doing. And automation should be running a command such as $DJOBQ,SPL=(%>3.0) every 5 minutes or so to check for jobs with high spool utilization, triggering an alert to the consoles.
Yes, but until the health care reform package runs most of the for profit insurance companies out of business that's going to remain to be the case.
Sprained ankles though I wouldn't lump as a minor ailment. You don't necessarily always know if it's a sprain or a minor factor or torn ligament. Delaying care can end up costing a lot more money and result in inferior recovery.
Yes, but until the health care reform package runs most of the for profit insurance companies out of business
Whatever profits are to be purportedly "lost" during the healthcare reform will be made up by others' mandatory enrollment. It's all feelgood bullshit to keep the same ridiculously bloated healthcare complex fat. There are no real compromises here, and as usual, the common man loses.
It's funny how all the big-business parrots are decrying it as "socialism," the for-profit healthcare complex is a big-businessman's wet dream.
Also, the computer virus was because Windows.
Actually, the problem with that theory is that the health care reform package limits overhead to 15% for group packages and 20% for individual packages. The question is how that's going to be defined and the DHHS is making them include sales charges as overhead. Ultimately, they might be still around as private insurers, but the profit is going to be absolute crap as they'll have to rebate any money they take in on premiums above that back to the subscribers.
Ultimately everybody enrolls in health insurance
Sprained ankles though I wouldn't lump as a minor ailment. You don't necessarily always know if it's a sprain or a minor factor or torn ligament. Delaying care can end up costing a lot more money and result in inferior recovery.
Not really. Unless your managed to fracture more than one bone, in which case the pain would likely drive you to seek care, if you elevated it, put some ice on it, took some OTC pain meds you could easily wait out a weekend.
A sore throat can be something trivial, but it can also be something major. Going to a GP to have it checked out rather than waiting and seeing is the height of common sense. A hospital, not so much. Hospitals can do nothing a GP can't do, for those sorts of ailments. Hospitals only make sense if you actually need centralized, high-end medical treatment. You can't fit an MRI into a GP's office and a doctor certainly can't take one with them if they're doing house calls, nor will smaller facilities be able to detect everything in-house.
Oh, I thought you were referring to a society with sensible health-care!
The most intelligent health-care systems are ones where the method of delivery is one that suits the complaint. That doesn't necessarily mean the best - a poor but intelligent system will be more effective than a poor but stupid one, and will also be more reliable and more responsive than a rich but stupid one, but the rich but stupid system will still deliver better results in the end. What you want is rich and intelligent, but no country currently does that.
I know folks who go to the hospital for that and things even more trivial. Like - I am not making this up - heartburn. For me I have to be just about dying before I go to the ER and wait 4 hours to be told to go home and rest and drink plenty of fluids.
Yup - a few Saturdays ago I made an emergency call to a doctor (on a holiday weekend no less) and after discussion brought a urine sample to a hospital over a suspected urinary tract infection.
Now, for an ordinary person it might not have been the right call, but in this case the person it concerned had been in the hospital intensive care unit three times (a week each) with sepsis that originated in urinary tract infections. It has been kept under control for a few years now with vigilance and a bottle of
This. And $deity help you if you have a tooth go south on a weekend.
I know folks who go to the hospital for that and things even more trivial. Like - I am not making this up - heartburn.
Like my uncle, who went to the emergency room with chest pain, only to be treated for heartburn and sent home, only to come back to the emergency room several hours later and die of the heart attack he was actually having.
FYI, symptoms of heartburn are similar to symptoms heart attacks.
Depending on the context, sprained ankles can make sense -- some sprains are difficult for the layperson to differentiate from a break.
Sore throats... Well, not unless someone is immune suppressed or they're in a situation where a walk-in clinic or their regular general practitioner is unavailable.
We're in a sad state when people need to go to the hospital to deal with sore throats and sprained ankles.
You're not very good at reading between the lines of a Cover-Your-Ass Public Relations statement. Are you?
Having a "sore throat" in a US Hospital ER is a very specific code word which means vomiting blood, writhing on the floor in agony, and basically dying slowly in front of the ER nurses while they still refuse to treat you. Go ahead, listen to the 911 tapes and watch the actual video of the waiting room. [youtube.com]
I'm sure that they would have said a similar thing "don't come to the hospital if you just have a sore
as if I have to ask...
the article mentioned nothing about which o/s or apps they run. or their network topology. things that matter, you know.
bet they thought about mentioning windows but their legal team said 'meh, why create trouble?'.
omissions like that are dishonest.
at my hospital we use webapps for 99% of access to results/radiography etc... with office365, isn't linux becoming the obvious answer? (ok, no outlook replacement maybe... - but all anyone uses it for is email!)
Hospitals are often quite badly prepared for this sort of thing. A big problem is the number of computerised "medical devices" where the vendor insists on a very specific update policy (or very specific restrictions on 3rd party software).
I worked at one hospital where Confiker took the whole IT system down. A big problem in repairing the damage was that there were a lot of PACS (digital X-ray/CT/MRI viewing/storage) workstations where the PACS vendor would not permit the relevant windows updates or a 3rd party anti-virus to be installed on the servers/workstations. They relented after a 24 hour stand-off, after they realised that they was nothing they could do to keep the system happy enough to meet the SLA without the updates and a suitable anti-malware.
I work at another hospital now, where similar lack of updates due to comparability with old business apps prevents updates. E.g. The PCs still run XP SP1 (even the brand-new quad core xeons). There also doesn't appear to be funding for updating anti-malware - the hospital use Sophos 7 (which became unsupported last year).
This hospital has chronic problems with virus/malware infestation on a number of office machines - but while IT can clean the computers manually, there seems to be a reservoir if infection on file-servers, USB drives, etc. So the infections come straight back after a manual deletion. This hasn't caused a catastrophe locally, so management don't seem to care, but it is a major annoyance, as infected documents frequently end-up getting e-mailed out to other hospitals/doctors and destroyed without trace by the recipient's e-mail system. Docs have been known to put the files on a USB stick, take it home, clean it with an up-to-date virus scanner and then e-mail it out.
to let IT install updates / anti-virus?

That was my first thought. No plan. As a technologist I'm peeved by the fact that people assume a system will always function properly because it always has in the past. Therefore it is terribly difficult to get a business to plan for outages.
Yes, for very good reason network medical device vendors are specific as to what client software modifications can be made. This includes client-side security measures such as service packs, security patches, and antivirus. This is primarily due to FDA regulations which require full software qualification, validation, testing, and documentation. The full scope and diligent execution of an FDA-compliant quality safety process takes time and costs money. This is not like IT operations patching a web server; a
At a hospital you also often have lots of really flakey embedded devices and custom applications which don't react well to being probed... Once a worm starts spreading around the network and scanning, these devices can also crash under the load despite not being directly infected.
I did a contract with one last March which was upgrading to new state of the art medical billing system to be Obamacare compliant.
Ran Windows 7? No. Windows XP Service pack 3 right? No. Windows XP SP 2 with IE 6?!
Normally it is not an issue but with HIPPA it is very serious this irritated me. Someone can literally hold the hospital hostage if these medical records for tens of millions of dollars and they need at least a patched and still supported version of XP like corporate America does. The problem is custom medical software and custom devices for Xrays and MRIs use IE 6 still and are not certifed with XP SP 3
It does not surprise me there are viruses on hospital computers as they can't be patched. WIth HIPPA you would think a hospital would always demand and use state of the art fully patched systems for security. But if were the medical records software company or make MRI machines I would be still requiring IE 6 too so I can then price gouch and double dip and charge3 another $400,000 in 2013 when support ends. I can make even MORE money.
The greed is incredible in the industry, but doctors can be the most and worst clients and users if you chat with anyone who supports them. THey feel supperior because they have those PHDs and make tons of money. Luckily I just helped install stuff and ignored the rest of the staff. As a result I.T. staff just never upgrade as they do not want to deal with these users at all
lot's of other places still have XP and they are big places like BP.
so the software can run in a VM / under a newer OS.
Viruses are not an infrequent occurrence at the hospital, she said, but it's never seen anything like this one.
What gave it away? The patients had mice attached to them?
Am I the only one who parsed this headline and thought it was something from The Onion?
Net we'll see "CERT Advisory Issued for Swine Flu Virus"...
While I might agree that some people do become stupid with tech (and oversimplify the complexity that computers are covering up and compensating), we also can't oversimplify the fact that it's not trivial to go back 20+ years to pre-computer procedures overnight for a temporary problem that will go away in a few days (or minutes or hours, as in the case of the tire shop employee).
Besides employees not getting paid enough to go the extra mile (or that they're supposed to be doing something else), the likely end reason is likely that it isn't affordable or efficient or even possible. As it is, a common complain in the healthcare industry is that they're understaffed, and with automation, the number of employees has been reduced so much they would never be able to deal with the backlog manually (assuming that enough employees had the training to deal with pre-computer issues). Not to mention that in a complex team workflow, exceptions would make it risky (ie, if the patient isn't registered in the system, his/hers tests can't be attached, so the doctors can't access them properly, opening the hospital to liabilities).
Old systems likely broke down and got replaced by digital systems that require much less from their operators. Before they might have been able to print, but maybe that printer isn't there anymore. Going all the way back to pre-computers might mean leaches.
As for your tire experience. Maybe the employee was lazy and wasn't willing to go the extra mile. Or maybe he didn't have a yellow pages or a company directory (which might have been on-line). Or, likely, he is supposed to tend the counter, and isn't allowed to do something else when he is supposed to be servicing people coming in the door (or answering the phone). In the "olden days", we might have been dealing with the store owner, which would be more inclined to GEM, but with franchises and staffs cut to a minimum for the sake of 80%+ normalcy, it's no surprise that the quality of service suffers.
In spirit, I agree that computers have made it too easy for stupidity to thrive. In fact, they have made it so easy that it is endemic at the business level, not just at the employee level. Rather than doing the work, businesses just farm it out to someone else, and then to someone else (ie, the "Cloud philosophy"), and you end up dealing with shells that are so far removed from the data that have no knowledge or interest in providing a reasonable service that falls slightly outside the normal expectation. And even when it's a typical offering, quality is often substandard and it only fulfills the need in the most general sense. But I'm starting to digress to another topic, so I'll stop.
As someone who works in a hospital i can tell you that reverting to a paper and pencil system requires at least 10x the number of workers for the same number of patients. And they would make many life threatening record keeping mistakes mistakes that are time consuming to identify since they would have to use this system infrequently if ever.
As an example transcribing dozens of lab values on possibly hundreds of patients and a worker transposes a potassium of 7.3 to 3.7. That patient could die from that sim
a trauma center and needs to be able to respond rapidly
And we all know verifying insurance without a computer slows down medical procedures.

Sugar Bowl Open Thread
I was!
yo tambien
I was! I don't remember my time on bourbon street though.
Discovering that you could carry an alcoholic beverage wherever you go was just like being a kid on Christmas morning. Don't think I left the hotel without one. I cannot say it resulted in a pleasant drive back to Ann Arbor, though.
I was also really looking forward to having my first (legal) drink in the Big House for this year's NHL Winter Classic.
You should go to Michigan hockey games at the Joe. I tried to slam large Molson Xxx's one game (1 per period). That night did not end well...
We're awesome last year. Had to be 2:1 michigan to vt on bourbon street. Had a blast
Maybe obviously.
Seeing the city during the lead in made me nolstagic.
Good God... What was that "national anthem"?
Florida fans are a bunch of brats. They were talking about Florida not selling most of their tickets pregame. Because their fans think they're too good for the Sugar Bowl. That's ridiculous. How about you win more games if you think that's the case?
That's the SEC's Rose Bowl. You think Georgia wouldn't want to be there?
Hell, I'd love to see Michigan play in this game against louisville!
Also: Muhammed Ali!!
Worse turnout than last year...
WOOOOO! Driskel, you noodle arm! Pick 6!
Makes me want a grenade.
I kept my hand grenade cup as a souvenir of awesome night.
Go Teddy Bridgewater and Co.. I thoroughly enjoyed New Orleans last year and can't wait to go back (Bowl game or not).
Refs have missed a blatant facemask and a helmet to helmet hit on Florida already.
Louisville is coming to play today!
SEC SEC SEC!!! Oh wait.
Louisville playing a little mooseball!
Greaaaat start for Louisville. Love seeing these teams who think they're superior looking around like they don't know what hit them. Now they're reviewing this but save for a ultimate debacle Louisville will be up two tuds.
LOL it's the 2009 Sugar Bowl all over again. SEC team thinking they're better and not being motivated and laying an egg right off the bat.
What a wonderful start to this game.
Wtf is up with the delay??!
Is a stud. Picked apart against an excellent Florida defense. MOAR BRIDGEWATER!!!!
I wish somebody would slap these SEC kids who chirp after play they make (even when some of the plays are advantageous to the opposing team)...It happened all day yesterday by the SC players.
Yeah what was up with that SC kid yesterday doing the make it rain thing?
Right. I have no clue. It looks asinine but whataya gonna do. Kids will be kids. I had a few buddies who played for Iowa a few years back during years they made Outbac Bowl (playing SC). They said they were the biggest group of thugs they've played against; in a way Spurrier promotes that kinda garbage in his program (and I'm a guy who kinda likes Spurrier).
But I can't think of a reason in the world not to root for Lousiville. Charlie Strong, Vance Bedford, anti-SEC, Florida fans are kinda assholes. Seems an easy call.
needs to get their money back.
Yikes, no kidding.
Every time I hear Trey Burton I keep thinking they're saying Trey Burke. Too used to Trey dominating the game of basketball.
That drive included runs of 13, 9 (twice), 8, 6, 5 (twice) yards, and two passes of over 10 yards, and Florida gets the field goal. That's a lot of work for a field goal, in my opinion, but the closer they got to the goal line, the more mentally unaware they seemed to get.
Might have to look into that all-sunflower seed diet.
I think you can chalk this up to kids having a lack of consistantcy.
I can't stand these SEC punks. Sticking your finger in a refs face would buy you a few hours of stadium steps at Michigan.
Bo would be absolutely livid if a player did that and to be honest, I don't think a player on his teams would have. Bo put fear into those guys.
That sounds like unsportsmanlike conduct to me.
I highly doubt that
Where can I get a sweet gold chain like the one Tebow is wearing?
Puffer Reds
I did not expect this at all. That being said, I'm enjoying this game very much.
has got to be getting considered for NFL HC jobs.
we can safely enjoy a little schadenflorida.
Did you all just see ESPN use the Michigan VT helmets on their Sugar Bowl logo instead of Florida and Louisville? 9:29 for those with DVR.
Wow it's amazing how bad Louisville is at running, yet they are dominating.
They keep moving it because Florida can't get stops on third down.
Sounds familiar. Le sigh...
Anyone else notice Morrison, a starting freshman linebacker for Florida playing out there? Wasn't he being recruited by us last year?
the Gators look more like the guys from "Varsity Blues" after the strip club all-niter. Too much time on Bourbon Street, mayhaps?
Please let this be the year that everyone realizes the SEC isn't that great, rather just a little bit better than the rest.
I've been trying to say that all year, but nobody listened.
They'll spin it down here that Florida just wasn't up for it because they thought they should be in the title game. SEC teams are all superior....when they lose it's ALWAYS a fluke! Gotta love the hype machine.
Monday night.
I'd include that in "slightly better than the rest"
this is actually making me nervous about Notre Dame's chances Monday night. I didn't think Nebraska would compete with UGA either.
And we had wound up with a title game between Bama and this awful Florida team? And no one would have questioned the SEC's supremacy...
If I'm not mistaken, this was the second biggest spread of the bowl season at Florida -14.5.
I have no idea what Florida is doing but hopefully Louisville can continue to shut up some of the SEC homers.
And hopefully after 30 minutes of football I'm cashing in on that. Way too big of a spread for a Florida team who has had multiple poor perfomances against less than great teams.
Stupid prevent!! Just keep doing what was working!
Lousiville for BIG expansion? They are beating the unbeatable SEC with their amazing speed (faster than grandma with a cheetah strapped to her back).
Strong should know better than to go into soft zone at the end of the half.
Patrick Omameh sighting on the Good Works Team!
losing it's shit.
Personal Fouls and an ejection for a tap to the face mask.
Both Enforced. Starting the SECond half on the Twenty is Louisville.....score!!!
And again it occurs, the stupidity of punching a guy in the helmet with a bare fist.
Tonight, we are all Cardinals.
an es
an ee
About time they started reigning in these jackasses
That was entirely satisfying
There's that SEC educationz with muschamp's brilliant call.
Heard on Florida sideline: "Exactly as we practiced it except for everything about it...". I find myself chuckling at the Gators right now as they try everything including personal fouls to prevent themselves from being in this game.
Is that it is only with SEC speed that it is possible to give up touchdowns SO FAST.
Why Florida ball?! Didn't louisville defer?!
Florida committed multiple personal fouls, resulting in Louisville ball on the Florida 20, and TD on 1st down less than 10 seconds into the half. XP blocked.
Wow. Thanks. I missed end of half so didn't know score and walked in at 14:48 wondering why Flordida had ball.
mmmmmmmm soooo gooood!
I'd enjoy having Louisville in the BIG if they had better academics...oh and they have to keep Charlie Strong forever to stay admitted.
This game keeps getting better and better. Lets go Cardinals! Punch it in again boys
This is greater than SEC speed.
1) Why do the announcers love UF?
2) Why is Vance Bedford not credited by being a M man? Announcers are citing his experience with Meyer. That's BS!
When it rains it pours...
C'mon Louisville...you had it at the 3 yard line...
Well that was the worst possession ever...
That or when the Virginia Tech running back ran backwards for 20 yards
That was the best possession ever.
What have we learned this bowl season? If anything, its that the SEC can bleed. South Carolina needed a last minute TD, UF is getting made an example of by a Big East team, LSU loses to Clemson, Georgia couldn't pull away from Nebraska until the 4th quarter, Miss State got handled by Northwestern.
Not saying its not still the best conference in football, because it is, but these teams can be beaten.
The South Carolina game had so many what ifs - one wrap up tackle, one less fumble, one etc...Yes, the SEC teams have won many games this year, but the notion that any conference is dominating another is pretty untenable.
Even if Louisville completely gags this game away, any notion of "dominance" should be put aside.
"This is why they play the game...:
I can't decide which analyst I hate more--Spielman or Millen. And they had Tebow on the pregame show. Why must you forever troll me ESPN?
For whatever reason he seems to struggle controlling his emotions.
This is it. TD or FG, this is it. Running clock, still throwing effectively...making UF look like complete chumps.
Another missed Louisville FG. I'd rather bite into a raw beet than go back to that era of special teams at Michigan.
Louisville desperately trying to let Florida back in it.
They just ran 8 minutes off the clock...Florida getting "back in it" would necessitate them a) scoring quickly and b) getting stops.
That was an awesome play by the safety...I wish ours could do that
Wow, the Florida offense is awful. If you can stop the run or get up on them they have no answer at all.
Alright...20 points down and 15 minutes of regulation play left. Brent Pease (Florida OC) has Louisville right where he wants them, right?
Florida still needs 2 scores even if they get a TD here. Louisville has been doing a good time of killing the clock.
Why does Driskell suck so much?
Damn that was ballsy to take it out.
He makes the bad call to take the interception out of the end zone, and still bring it out past the 20.
Did anyone else see the Vatech and Michigan helmets used in that graphic before the commercial?
Wishful thinking.
I can't express how much this game this pleasures me to watch (get your head.out of the gutter). Ess. Eee. See. I now bow to your greatness.
Did anybody else noticed that they used Michigan and Virginia Tech helmets with the Sugar Bowl logo after that last interception before they went to commercial break?
They wish that was the matchup they were airing tonight.
In the classroom, in the wieghtroom, in the community.
Pretty sure gator blogs are gonna crucify Willy Muschamp. Brian, can we get a special TWIS specifically devoted to this ensuing freak out?
I see you Florida.
Charlie Strong...this is a bad idea.
Did Louisville set some kind of a record by scoring in the first play from scrimmage of both halves? I've never seen that before. It's got to be a bowl record at least.
Esssseeeeeceeeeeee!!!!! Woooooo!!
Only Muschamp tries a sneak from the 3...clock running, uses time out.
Coaching Genius.
Right now, somewhere in Texas, Mack Brown is laughing.
Damn. We should have invited Louisville to the big ten. Academics be damned!
Hopefully the SEC will be semi fairly ranked next season. You start them off with 5-6 teams in the top ten let them play a weak non conference schedule and then drop them 1-2 places when they get blown out by 40-50 points and then act surprised when they perform like they have in the bowls.
Nebraska and Michigan where mediocre teams and took Georgia and SC to the end... Michigan should have won. LSU got beat by Clemson , Mississippi state got beat down by NW and now Florida ia getting smacked by Louisville. Hopefully ND lays a whipping on Alabama and we can put this SEC dominance to rest for atleast one year.
I just wonder where the bandwagon 'SEC" fans will go..... Nevermind i answered my own question. They'll just go back to being ND fans
I was with you up until you said ND whipping Bama. I will never be on board with a ND victory, especially in the National Championship game. Lets go Bama!
It took a lot of soul searching to pick who i was pulling for. I can put with ND fans a lot easier than I can put up with SEC fans right now. Plus if they win then we get to beat the defending national champions next year
What will the ESPN/media narrative be? Big East dominance? The fall of the SEC? Charlie Strong, who turned down the Tennessee job, deals another blow to the conference he spurned?
If only...
Tide repeat National Championships, duh
The impossibly difficult grind of the SEC left Florida with nothing left in the tank for tonight. One month of recovery isn't enough.
I'm sure ESPN will spin it to say Florida wasn't into it. They thought they should've been in the NC game. Some BS like that.
Amazing display of clock management by the Gators. Just pathetic.
Well, at least Florida still has their fans.
clap clap clap-clap-clap
Did Strong just shake the troopers hand?
You've gotta appreciate a sideline reporter who shoves his way in between a coach and the family he's trying to hug in order to ask a few meaningless questions.
Similar to yesterday evening after the Rose Bowl. It seemed David Shaw (Standford HC) was trying to celebrate and the sideline reporter was pulling the "Coach, you have an obligation to talk to me" card so he stopped for a minute and answered her question. He then proceeded to kind of walk away and be with his team and coaches, why he would want to do that after winning the Rose Bowl I have no clue, and she again tried to keep him by pulling the aforementioned card. Mussberger pipes in from the booth stating that "the winning coach know before hand and is contracted into giving an interview post-game" blah blah blah. Shaw is again pulled in, after, as Mussberger lets us know, "someone must have told him the circumstance and obligation" and answers her next couple shi**y questions. It's all such a crock. I personally don't need to hear what they have to say. If networks want to have their cameras and watch a bit of celebrating that is fine. But that is exactly what they should be doing, celebrating, and not giving dull, inane interviews with fuggin' sideline reporters.
Charlie Strong seems like a really good guy.
LSU Freek captures Muschamp's capacities well.
If that was me on that boat I'd be using this oportunity to grab all kinds of booty
ESSSS EEEEE SEEEEE dominance at its finest.
Big East > SEC ?
If only Rutgers had pulled it out, the Big Easy would have a clean sweep.

RODNEY Grant has fond memories of growing up a good cover drive from Dennington Recreation Reserve.
With his cricket bat slung over his shoulder, he would walk past the Shamrock Hotel, cut up a track along the railway line and then up the hill to the ground.
While his path to games has changed over the years, Grant's involvement in Dennington cricket has remained the same.
Today the 31-year-old will drive along the quiet road into the ground for his 200th senior game with the club. In a senior career that started when he was "13 or 14", he is lining up for his 165th A grade, or division one, game.
It's a milestone he almost never reached.
"I thought of retiring this year," Grant said yesterday.
"Then (skipper) Dustin Drew saw me and said 'you've only got eight more to go for 200 and I think you should play on'."
Grant said accommodating bosses at Lion Dairy and Drink in Allansford where he works as a fitter and turner had cleared the way for him to be available for matches on Saturdays.
"This year I've been able to dedicate a lot more time to cricket," he said.
"I just work a rotating roster and the last three years I've been using annual leave days and doing whatever I can to play."
Grant, who has played in five division one premierships with Dennington and one in colts, said he was pleased to reach 200 games with the club.
"The mateship is what keeps me going," he said.
"I've made some really good mates and the club is just so good to be around, family-oriented."
He admits the milestone won't be on his mind when play begins in today's final-round showdown for top spot against defending premier West Warrnambool.
Grant said he and his teammates were acutely aware of the two-day match's importance. Win and they finish on top, lose and they can slip from second to third.
Grant, a middle-order left-handed batsman, has found form at the right time.
In his past three knocks he has made 57 not out, 47 and 40. He has made 224 runs at an average of 24.79.
"Drewy just said bat six all year and see how you go. I got a lot of 15s and 20s but I've hit a bit of form now," he said.

It's not easy to appreciate just how important a figure Javier Aguirre is to Mexican soccer worldwide.
The coach that has saved the Mexican national team from premature World Cup qualifying elimination on a couple occasions is boosting the national game again, whether his doubters appreciate it or not.
Javier Aguirre is back to raise the Mexican flag in Spain, this time with Espanyol. His return at the close of this year has already been an indisputable boon for Mexican soccer, since Aguirre's unwavering commitment to Mexican soccer means he takes the Mexican style and way of doing things wherever he goes on the peninsula.
Aguirre's influence runs so deep in Spain that you could make the argument that he's the most important Mexican export of the century. While players come and go, over the years, Aguirre has been perhaps the most stable and useful ambassador for the Mexican game in Europe, at the very least since Hugo Sanchez.
But the longevity which Sanchez never did achieve as a coach, Aguirre has obtained in finding success with Osasuna and Atletico Madrid.
In a country where foreign coaches are seldom the norm, much less those from countries outside Europe, Aguirre has been accepted into the La Liga circle as a viable candidate for any job.
Along the way, El Vasco has brought prestige and appreciation to the Mexican side of things, going about his business in Spain in a distinctly Mexican fashion, from press conferences to lineups, and including Mexican players and staff as often as possible.
His tenure at Espanyol has kicked off in the just that way, with El Vasco bringing in Alfredo Tena to help him on the bench. A result at Real Madrid at the weekend served to reinforce the job Aguirre has already done with the Barcelona club, which looks closer to safety than it has in some time under its new skipper.
Aguirre has also begun the search for Mexican players who might be able to help out at the struggling but historic franchise. Oribe Peralta and Hugo Ayala have been named as candidates to join Hector Moreno with the Pericos, further enhancing the Mexican accent in La Liga.
Of course he's had his failings as well. Aguirre will be sure to choose his Mexican talent in Barcelona carefully, after Efrain Juarez and Pablo Barrera washed out in Zaragoza, helping lead to the downfall of the club and the end of the Mexican's tenure as coach there.
But should a pair of players more join Spain's top flight under Aguirre's unwavering hand, Mexico's representation in Spain would be beginning to come into line with what is comparatively justifiable given the country's talent level and the relative amount of players from other Latin American countries plying their trades in Spain.
If and when that happens, much of the credit for getting over that hurdle will be due to Aguirre, who deserves recognition as not only one of Mexico's best-ever coaches, but also as among Mexico's most important soccer exports of all time.
