The premise of this post is a question. In particular, why? But also some hows and whats and whos and whatfors?
Why did Jeff MacGregor write this column?
Why did he think this was a strong gimmick to premise his column on?
Did he not have enough words to fill his quota? That doesn't make much sense when you are just publishing on the internet does it?
Who is going to give him the whatfor? Any volunteers?
Is he completely wrong?
Sport is how we provide definite answers about ourselves when life is full of unanswerable and neverending questions. Sport is finite. Win, lose or draw there is a beginning and an end that is predetermined. The score is known. Life is not so easily defined.
So, to answer your question Mr. MacGregor, sport is not for writing a column full of questions that takes little thought and provides no answers, sport is for escaping the never ending question that is life providing some definition to a malleable existence.

La Quinta Inn & Suites Winnie, Winnie
Nice hotel with many minor problems
The hotel is very nice and feels brand new. We were pleased with most of our stay, but had a few problems. The first night we were there the phone started ringing at 5:25am and I called the front desk to see if it was them. They stated that someone must have set an alarm. The phone rang again 15 minutes later, I unplugged the phone from the wall, 15 minutes later the phone on the desk rang! Called the front desk and they came right away and crawled under the desk and unplugged that phone. The duvet cover was missing the zipper, so the comforter inside slid out and was on the floor in the morning. They replaced it, but the duvet cover is made of a silky material and it slid off of us all night long! Also, I had requested a first floor room and when we arrived at 3 pm to check in, the front desk girl said there were no first floor rooms available. She then told me she would put us on the 3rd floor by the elevator and it shouldn't be loud because there were only 3 people staying in the hotel. So, there were no rooms for us on the first floor with only 3 people in the hotel??

The staff was great, but the room airconditioning unit was musty and moldy smelling. It was obvious they had tried to clean the unit with pinesol due to the overwhelming smell of the cleaner. Not sure which was worse the cleaner or the mold!

The room was reasonably clean and quiet. It was hard to find due to being set back off the highway. The entrance sign was small and we missed it the first time. The internet didn't work and the "continental" breakfast was almost nonexistent. The scrambled eggs were powdered and cold,the coffee was cold and more like brown water. The breakfast burritos were cold and inedible. Most mornings they were out of everything by 7:00am We probably would't stay there again

LOS ANGELES—A partnership between Capri Capital Partners and TruAmerica Multifamily has purchased the 464-unit Vermont multifamily complex for $283 million from a partnership between J.H. Snyder Co. and Washington Capital Management. This is the year's largest multifamily purchase in California.
Opening in May of this year, the landmark property is the first of its kind in Koreatown, which is undergoing gentrification. It was J.H. Snyder's vision to bring a new demographic of renters to the downtown-adjacent community. The property has 31,000 square feet of commercial retail space and two residential towers. With heights of 29 stories and 23 stories, the towers have remarkable views of downtown and ample space for amenities, which include a 16,500-square-foot sky lobby, a 3,300-square-foot gym, sundeck, pool and business center.
The 31,000-square-foot retail portion is currently occupied by Starbucks. Leases have also been signed with Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches, Fatburger, PizzaRev, Wells Fargo Bank, Sugar Nails, AT&T and a Samsung concept store, all of which will take occupancy of the building soon.
Both the quality and the location made the property an attractive investment opportunity for the buyers. Both Capri Capital and TruAmerica Multifamily purchase high-quality assets in emerging and transit-oriented West Coast markets. For those reasons, this property is directly in step with the buyers' investment strategies. Last year, Capri Capital purchased the Esprit in Marina del Rey, a 437-unit multifamily complex, for $225 million; and TruAmerica recently completed its purchase the Berkshire portfolio, a 1,500-unit multifamily portfolio in Denver and Washington, for $229 million.
JLL brokers Javier Rivera, Joe Leon, David Young and David Doupe represented J.H. Snyder and Washington Capital in the transaction. The buyers have tapped Lincoln Property Co. to manage the property.

Gigabyte unveils the Booktop M1305 with graphics card-equipped dock
Gigabyte caused a bit of a stir with its Booktop M1022 netbook as it was the first and so far the only netbook available with a docking station.
The company has now followed this up with the CULV-based Booktop M1305 and added yet another twist, a desktop graphics card in the dock. This makes the Booktop M1305 a good alternative for those that want a thin and light notebook, yet crave some extra performance when using it at a desk.
The overall specifications of the M1305 places it in the middle of the CULV notebook market with a Core 2 Duo SU7300 processor at 1.3GHz, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive and integrated Intel graphics.
The M1305 also features a 13.3-inch display with 1366 x 768 resolution, a built-in optical drive, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, a finger print reader, an eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port, an HDMI connector, two USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, a D-sub connector, a 1.3 Megapixel webcam, a memory card reader and a pair of audio jacks.
The battery isn't going to wildly impress anyone as the 6-cell 3800mAh unit will at best manage 5 to 6 hours of untethered usage, but Gigabyte is also offering a secondary battery that occupies the optical drive bay instead of the drive and this 4-cell unit should add another 3 to 4 hours of usage.
The real selling point of the M1305 is the docking station, and, as we've mentioned, what makes it special is the inclusion of a desktop Nvidia GeForce GT220 graphics card with 1GB of DDR3 graphics memory. This is the first time we've heard about such a solution in a consumer notebook, although AMD has offered an external graphics solution in co-operation with Fujitsu-Siemens, but that never really took off. The advantage here is that you get vastly increased graphics performance when you place the notebook in the dock, although currently you're limited to using an external display.
The dock offers DVI, HDMI and D-sub connectivity and it also sports six USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port and a pair of audio jacks. The dock must be powered to function, although it will also power the notebook, so only one power adapter is required. Gigabyte is
considering offering docks with various graphics configurations in the future if this proves to be a successful product.
The exact hardware configurations will differ from market to market, but the initial model with the specifications listed above, including the dock, will cost in the region of £745 with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Private Co's join hands with Centre for PURA
New Delhi, Oct 11 (INN): The initiative taken by the Ministry of Rural Development to kick start the Public-Private Partnership in rural infrastructure development has received enthusiastic response from the leading houses in the Corporate Sector. In all, Nine Private sector companies have bid for 15 pilot projects under the Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas (PURA) scheme, a number larger than the envisaged number of pilots. This was disclosed by Ministry of Rural Development Secretary BK Sinha at a press conference here on Monday.
The nine companies that have been finally short-listed are in the area of infrastructure development with strong rural and community mobilization experience either directly of through their consortium partners. These companies include big names like Jindal Steel & Power Ltd, IL&FS Limited, Infrastructure Kerala Limited, Marg Ltd., Buldana Urban cooperative Society Ltd., A2Z Maintenance & Engg. Services Ltd., Megha Engineering Infrastructure Limited, Srei Infrastructure Finance Limited and SVEC. The selection has been done through an open competitive technical bidding process with rigorous qualification and evaluation criteria.
In the pilot phase, the private developer is given flexibility to identify and select the Gram Panchayat for undertaking PURA projects based on their familiarity with the area or past experience of working at the grassroots level.
However, as the consent of the concerned Panchayats and no objection from the state governments is mandatory, the selection would reflect the concurrence of all the stakeholders. It is expected that a scheme like PURA wherein all related schemes for rural infrastructure are being converged for a synchronized delivery for a period of 10 years in project mode shall maximize socio-economic impact. The average size of the projects is about Rs 100 crore with the total investment around Rs 1,300 crore. The average grant sought is 35 per cent and thus in all the projects would be about Rs 425 crore.
Mr Sinha informed media persons that since the total funds available to the Ministry during the 12th Plan are to the extent of Rs 248 crore, the number of pilot projects may need to be reduced. However the Ministry is confident that the additional funds would be organized in consultation with the Planning Commission and the Finance Ministry to take up all the projects in due course.
Funding for projects under PURA scheme would come from four sources: MoRD schemes, non-MoRD schemes, private financing and Capital Grant under PURA. Each individual PURA project cost and the eligible capital grant (subject to a maximum of 35 per cent of project cost) shall be determined on the basis of a Concept Plan and Detailed Project Report that would be appraised and approved by an inter-Ministerial Empowered Committee for the purpose.
Amenities and economic activities proposed to be provided under PURA include, (1)Amenities to be provided under MoRD Schemes, (2) Amenities to be provided under Non-MoRD Schemes and (3) Add-on Projects (Revenue earning, people centric projects).
These would include Water and Sewerage;;Construction and maintenance of Village Streets;Drainage; Solid Waste Management; Skill Development; Development of Economic Activities Village Street Lighting; Telecom; Electricity, etc. besides village linked tourism; Integrated Rural Hub; Rural Market; Agri Common Services Centre, Warehousing, etc.; and Any other rural-economy based project.
PURA was envisaged by former President of India APJ Kalam as a self-sustainable and viable model of service delivery in rural areas to be managed through an implementation framework between local people, public authorities and the private sector.
The scheme was re-configured after extensive consultation and research process with State Governments, private sector and multi-lateral development organizations like ADB. It was initiated as a pilot in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode early this year when the Expression of Interest (EOI) evoked unprecedented response from the private sector for this untested and complex scheme, perhaps the first of its kind in the world. Ministry of Rural Development intended to launch about 8-10 pilots across the country.
Against this number, ninety five private entities expressed interest and these included some of the largest Indian corporate entities such as the IDFC, Tata Power, Reliance Industries, IL&FS, SREI Infrastructure etc. The scheme is poised to herald a paradigm shift in rural infrastructure development as the response of the private sector has surpassed the expectations of the Ministry of Rural Development.
PURA represents twinning of rural infrastructure development with economic re-generation activities. This is the first ever attempt at delivering infrastructure and amenities through Private Public Partnership in the rural areas. Involvement of the private sector, for the first time, in creation and management of amenities through a partnership with Gram Panchayats is an effort to provide a completely different framework for the implementation of rural infrastructure development schemes and harness private sector efficiencies in the management of assets and delivery of services.

Parents of terminally ill youngsters and the volunteers who work with them were among 900 guests at the fourth Camp Simcha gala dinner in London on Monday.
The dinner raised £1 million-plus to enable the charity to continue helping Jewish families across the community to cope with children with cancer, leukaemia and other life-threatening conditions.
Started 15 years ago to help 13 families, Camp Simcha now "reaches" 2,000 children, including siblings, offering practical and emotional support. It receives no state funding.
Hendon Synagogue assistant minister Rabbi Leo Dee is set to become Radlett's new rabbi.
Rabbi Dee is the choice of the shul's selection committee, but the appointment requires the ratification of members. In line with the aim of appointing a "rabbinical couple", his wife Lucy has been offered a separate contract to work with younger women and families in the community, as she has been doing in Hendon.

● Oxford JSoc has had a successful term, with a range of events attracting a substantial turnout from students.
Britain's oldest museum, the Ashmolean in Oxford, has defended the exclusion of Judaism from a panel on world religions.
Michael Pinto-Duschinsky, a Jewish academic who lives in the city, had believed the display would be changed after he questioned the omission.
But the museum, which reopened last November after a major redevelopment, believes it would be "inappropriate" to alter the wording.
It added that a new "Jewish trail" linking items of Jewish interest in the museum was in the pipeline.
A London-born, Oxford-educated Catholic who once trained to be a priest, or a Welsh-born, unmarried woman who is a self-confessed atheist?
That's the choice facing Australians - among them 110,000 Jews - this weekend in a federal election that polls predict will be a photo finish.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, whose bloodless coup toppled Labor leader Kevin Rudd two months ago, is pitted against Tony Abbott, the Liberal Party leader once nicknamed the "mad monk" after a slew of brutish remarks.
Oxford's Jewish community is enjoying a period of renewed success with services taking place daily for the first time in years.
The number of people davening at Oxford Jewish Congregation's Richmond Road synagogue traditionally drops in summer as students return to their home towns.
But the community has continued its daily minyanim with the help of University Jewish Chaplaincy's Rabbi Daniel Braune Friedman, who has co-ordinated an informal rota of male congregants.
A lecturer at the Oxford Centre for Jewish and Hebrew Studies has told an employment tribunal that she was discriminated against after she converted from Judaism to Christianity.
Israeli Dr Tali Argov, who was a full-time lector in modern Hebrew, said at the hearing in Reading last week that she was ostracised by colleagues and then made redundant after she converted to Anglicanism in January 2008.

Hip injury doesn't deter fundraising bike rider
Relevant offers
A 200-kilometre bike ride in two days?
That's no sweat, but it is a lot of preparation for Timaru woman Kiri Turner.
That's her attitude as she prepares herself to take to the roads for the 2014 Ride to Conquer Cancer bike ride. It promises to be tough, but it's a challenge she's willing to undertake.
"It will be a challenge in a number of ways, as I currently have a serious and painful hip injury that doesn't allow me to participate in most forms of physical activity. My ankle recently got reconstructed and my surgery is ongoing. However, cycling is one I can do without a high level of discomfort," Turner said.
Her parents and friends think she is crazy.
Turner is very proud of being the southernmost participant in the charity event and she has aimed high in regard to raising funds.
"My target is $20,000, and so far I have raised over $3700. I am doing a few events to fundraise, like a pub quiz on July 15. There will be prizes on the night and raffles. Everybody has been really supportive so far, and I would really appreciate the continued support of the community."
Her motivation for taking part comes from her former boyfriend, who has testicular cancer. "We were supposed to do it together, but now I am doing it alone. I am participating in this Ride to Conquer Cancer to help support the research of improved cancer-fighting drugs so when people are diagnosed with cancer, they can have the best treatment possible, and their families do not have to experience losing their loved one."
The two-day cycling adventure will begin at the Auckland Racing Club on November 15.

"How the Earth Was Made" is the History channel's detailed look at specific areas of the planet and how they came to be shaped the way they are. The title of the series sounds like they would explain how Earth came into being with the Big Bang theory in one episode and boom! be done, but this is the second season so they've really stretched out individual landmarks.
This series starts off with places like The Grand Canyon and its carving by the Colorado river among other things, Mt. Vesuvius and its ability to possibly kill 3 million people in Naples if it erupts, and then in the third episode finally gets into the actual planet formation or "Birth of the Earth". Does this mean it wasn't covered in the first season?? Other great episodes include Sahara where you find out it was once covered in ice and grew lots of plantlife, and much more in the way of mountains, valleys, volcanoes in general, ice ages, and fascinatingly enough, the concentration of gold around the world.
The narrator sure knows how to make gradual evolution sound exciting! For example in the Grand Canyon episode, he mentions certain mountains were "shattered *dramatic pause* by VOLCANOES!" The end of each episode goes through the laundry list of clues the scientists found and conclusions they were brought to step by step in case you missed something. Evolution ought to be a slow, boring process but this format and narration makes it more exciting than the violent escapes of "Ancients Behaving Badly" that I reviewed not that long ago. This is a very interesting and educational series and will appeal greatly to those intrigued by our landscapes and captivated by its beauty and history.
...drum roll...
the quality is excellent and it IS widescreen ( 1.78:1 I believe (the box doesn't say [and amazon says 1.33:1 -Wrong!] ).
Regardless, it fills my 52" HD with video that History Channel televised in HD.
So, for those (including me) who were wondering: IT IS GOOD!
DVD#1 Begins with the massive non-tectonic-related lava flows in Siberia of about 250 MYA, which are generally believed responsible for the approximately simultaneous most devastating mass extinction in the history of life. This is a good presentation, noting the probable involvement of the coal layer through which much of the lava had to flow, and the probable involvement of ocean methane hydrates, but doesn't mention the probable involvement of other toxic volcanic substances, such as sulphur dioxide and mercury.
Next, is a rundown of of the continental glaciations of North America, mostly the last one. I found this presentation too elementary and incomplete. Finally, a program on America's gold deposits and mining. This is limited to deposits in CA and Nevada, which is OK, given the time constraints. The point is that different gold deposits were often formed in different ways, but with some commonalities.Read more ›
My favorite episodes - surprisingly, I might add - are "Sahara" and "Death Valley." I thought I knew a lot about the Sahara, only to discover I knew almost nothing - certainly nothing about its 20,000 year cycle of monsoon activity. And, as to Death Valley, I couldn't imagine its geologic history being anywhere near as fascinating as it is. Of course it's one of the lowest and hottest points on earth; but the mantle beneath it is also the thinnest of anyplace on earth - and is being stretched even thinner. Even "Everest" opened all kinds of new windows on the planet, by showing not just how it was formed but how its formation affected almost everything else on the planet.Read more ›

Anti-Fascist No Platform Victory: ABC10 Pulls Sacramento Nazi Interview After Complaints
Direct action may get the goods, but sometimes a few people speaking up can result in minor victories, too. That's what happened after Sacramento's ABC10/KXTV television station thought it would be a good idea to provide a platform for Matthew Heimbach of the Traditionalist Workers Party to spout his lies, just two days after Sacramento Nazis acting on his behalf sent nine anti-racists to the hospital, six with stab wounds and three with blunt force trauma. While the interview already had ...
