Apparently Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price thinks that getting off the sauce is all it takes to make amends. He says he's ready to open a new chapter in his life. And who can blame him, given that the last chapter featured a spectacular string of embarrassing revelations?
He says he's ready to open a new chapter in his life. And who can blame him, given that the last chapter featured a spectacular string of embarrassing revelations?
There was news that Price had accepted gifts from his employees, paid for with money that was donated for charity.
There was the apparent drunk driving incident, in which he plowed through a barricade on the Causeway.
There was the scathing state legislative audit, now in the hands of federal investigators. Among the allegations: that Price accepted improper gifts and favors from people who did business with the city, something he said he would no longer knowingly do.
Yet although Price is through with this rehab program for alcohol addiction, he seems to be up to the same old tricks.
Now comes word that the mayor is leasing a supersized SUV, at a cut-rate price, from a developer identified in the audit as one of his chief benefactors. Price says he's paying $200 a month to drive the 2004 or 2005 Chevy Suburban, when the market lease rate for a similar vehicle approaches $300.
This after he had to turn in the keys to his free city vehicle following the infamous Causeway incident in April. Two years earlier, Price was spotted by Mandeville cops several times on a single night, seemingly too drunk to drive, according to their accounts.
But don't worry, the questionable arrangement might not last much longer. Now that he's all clean and sober, Price is hoping to get his free car back again.
"I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I did the program. I committed not to drink, and I'm moving forward, " Price said Tuesday. "It's a new chapter in Eddie Price's life, and it started when I finished that program."
Well, if he really has gotten his drinking problem under control, good for him. Yet the start of his new chapter doesn't mean the old one's through.
Price still has plenty of explaining to do, for the old stuff as well as the new. He could start by answering these questions.
If he has turned over a new leaf, why is he still accepting what certainly looks like a special favor from Don McMath, a developer who deals with Mandeville officials on impact fees and infrastucture -- and who, according to the state audit, helped pay for Price to go on fancy vacations in Pebble Beach and Canada?
Why would someone go to a developer for a car lease in the first place?
Couldn't Price have signed a formal lease arrangement, at market rate, from one of the many actual car dealers in St. Tammany? Plenty of people who make $96,000 a year manage to pay the going rate for their vehicle. And unlike Price, who still has the use of his city gas credit card, they have to fill them up on their own dime.
And why is he still acting squirrely under simple questioning by the media?
First, Price implied that the car was his family's. Then he claimed he'd really said that the reporter who asked should "do your homework." Even if he did, why not just answer truthfully -- the way someone with nothing to hide would do?
I always heard that part of the recovery process is taking responsibility for past actions.
Even if Price's program skipped that part, common sense would suggest that the way to rebuild a ruined reputation is to be on one's best behavior, not revert to old, destructive patterns.
That the way to win back public trust, in the unlikely event that's possible, is to actually earn it.

Carlos Guillen is listed as today's designated hitter against the visiting White Sox and told Tigers beat writer Jason Beck his sore Achilles tendon is feeling much better.
Guillen came out for pinch-runner Josh Anderson due to recurring soreness in his tendon after his eighth-inning double of Sunday's come-from-behind 6-4 victory over Texas.
Josh Anderson will start in left field today and is penciled No. 8 in the lineup. Tigers manager Jim Leyland told Beck that Guillen could be back out in left field Tuesday.
MLBlogs.com, April 13: Leyland said he wanted to get more left-handed hitters in the lineup against Gavin Floyd, which is partly why he chose today to start Ramon Santiago at short and give Adam Everett the day off.
Meanwhile, Gerald Laird was originally in the starting lineup but was scratched because he's sick. Thus, Matt Treanor will make his second start of the year behind the plate.
Here's hoping Treanor decides to hit the ball today. Check out the rest of today's starting lineup below:
1. Granderson, CF
2. Polanco, 2B
3. Ordonez, RF
4. Cabrera, 1B
5. Guillen, DH
6. Santiago, SS
7. Inge, 3B
8. Anderson, LF
9. Treanor, C
Chicago White Sox
1. Brent Lillibridge, 2B
2. Josh Fields, 3B
3. Carlos Quentin, LF
4. Jim Thome, DH
5. Jermaine Dye, RF
6. Paul Konerko, 1B

There's no brotherly love lost on the set of "Brothers & Sisters." The news of still-married Balthazar Getty's romance with Sienna Miller has curdled relations between Getty and his co-star, Matthew Rhys, who dated Miller last year while filming a movie together, E! Online reports. (Quick question: Who hasn't Miller dated? Lindsay Lohan? Lance Armstrong? Barack Obama? )
Rhys found out about the romance not through proper channels -- tabloid pictures of a topless Miller canoodling with Getty in Italy -- but from the show's producers, who had trouble locating Getty and asked Rhys to help contact him through Miller. But Getty's rep says the news of the rift is "completely untrue."

There's a tiered set of goals for athletes competing at the District 3 track and field championships; turn in new personal-best performances, make it to the medal stand, extend the season another week by qualifying for the PIAA championships.
On May 17-18 at Seth Grove Stadium on the campus of Shippensburg University for the 89th annual district event, 21 Perry County athletes and five relay teams took their best cracks at those goals and came away with a long list of extraordinary accomplishments.
The county haul of 18 open-event medals included a AA discus title for Greenwood junior Emily Fisher. Three Wildcat relay teams — the girls' 4x400 and 4x800 squads and the boys 4x400 quartet, earned places on the medal stand as well.
The Greenwood's boys' mile relay will join Fisher, who also finished second in the shot put with a personal best throw of 36-9, 'Cat high jumper Jen Campbell and Susquenita 300-meter hurdler Max Whitehead-Zimmers for a return trip to Ship for the AA state championships. West Perry's Collin Sheaffer, who finished fifth in the javelin, will compete in the AAA championships.
"This was a good meet for us. I really can't complain," said Greenwood coach Tom Magill, whose girls finished sixth in the AA team competition while his boys placed ninth. "Anytime you PR, you have a chance for a medal and that's what we did."
No county athlete had a better meet than Fisher.
It didn't, however, get off to an auspicious start.
Fisher, who collected fifth-place medals in the shot and discus as a sophomore, entered Friday's discus competition as the No. 2 seed, then promptly fired her first attempt into the net, a bad foul.
"I thought about telling Em to power throw (her second attempt), rather than spin so she could put up a good mark," Magill explained. "I decided to leave it up to the athlete ... not overcoach."
Wise decision.
Fisher stayed with her spin move and produced a 115-0 throw that exceeded the state-qualifying standard. From there, Fisher got stronger. Her final throw of the preliminary round went a personal-best 122-10 and solidified her hold on first place. Fisher finished off her series with throws of 122-9, 116-3 and 118-1. All five of her throws were better than the state qualifier, three were better than the second-place mark.
"That (first attempt) was my get-rid-of-the-nerves throw. I was a little worried, but I have the experience now. I knew exactly what I was going for and that was my focus," Fisher said. "My power throws are usually better, but I trusted my training, like my coach Troy Hess always tells me."
"Obviously, that's the best Emily has ever thrown," said Magill, who got his first D-3AA title since Emily Griswold won the pole vault in 2011. "She had an excellent meet."
The Wildcat boys' 4x400 performance came with a guarantee by their coach, who said without any prompting prior to the race, "the mile relay team can run under the (state-meet) qualifying time ... and you can mark that down."
Filling out the final lineup required a runoff among three contenders for one spot. It went to Hunter Wirth, an 800 runner with little quarter-mile experience, who teamed with Gabe Schroff, Hunter Miller and Scott Kerstetter to take a go at the best AA quartets.
Seeded seventh with a 3:33.25, the Wildcats needed to finish second or run under 3:29.6 to make it back to Ship. They did it with slight room to spare. Schroff went 53 seconds and Wirth ran a 51-second quarter that moved the team from seventh to fourth. Miller spun out a 52 and handed off to Kerstetter, who churned a team-best 50 and finished off a season-best 3:28.50 that was 1.02 seconds inside the qualifier.
Whitehead-Zimmers and Schroff were involved in one of the wildest finishes of the weekend.
Running in the 300 hurdles, the first track event on Saturday, the pair were matched up in the second — fastest — heat. Whitehead-Zimmers, who'd edged Schroff in a dandy PECO race, was the No. 3 seed, Schroff checked in at No. 5. They dueled for a medal over the first seven hurdles with the Blackhawk senior in third behind Yusef Awan of Wyomissing and Taylor Conrad of Delone Catholic. Schroff was running fourth.
Awan was well clear of the field over the final hurdle and hit the tape in 40.38. Conrad, however, lost his footing and stumbled, Whitehead-Zimmers and Schroff surged past.
The Blackhawk finished second and earned a spot at states. Schroff, who clocked a personal-best 41.79, placed third.
"I didn't expect (to finish second and make states). This is great," said Whitehead-Zimmers, who knocked nearly two seconds off his PR from a year ago. "Last year, I lost badly. I wanted to do better.
"Running against good competition this year really helped. Competition is everything. (Blackhawk coach Gary) McCoy always told me that. Nothing will motivate you like running against (top hurdlers)."
Schroff later added a sixth-place finish in the 110 hurdles after posting a PR in the semifinals to reach the finals.
The Greenwood girls 4x400 team missed its opportunity to advance to the state championships, but turned in another sparkling effort.
The Wildcats ran a 4:10.77 that was nearly four seconds lower than the school record time they posted at the Tri-Valley League meet and good enough to finish third. But, at 2.02 seconds off the qualifying standard, Greenwood won't be able to run for a state title.
Campbell led of with a 62-second split, then handed to Jordyn Sorber, who raced her lap in 64. Emily Black's 62-second leg pushed the Wildcats' into state-berth contention and Hattie Kuhns churned a 61 that finished off the new school-record run.
Dillon Meehan, a senior, completed his 'Cat career with medals in the shot (fourth) and discus (sixth). Likewise, Erin Zeiders (long jump and triple jump), Sierra Stephens (javelin) and Kerstetter, who shaved his school record in the 400 to 51.05 and placed eighth, made their final appearances at districts pay off with medals.
Sophomores Wirth (pole vault) and Alyscia Smith (800) each took sixths in their first district showings.

The American Federation of Teachers Washington said of Lytton: "Our decision was based ... on the work that (she has) done as an advocate for quality education and for working families in our state.

Hi I'm debbie and i'm 32 yo and I am a fairly new kitty owner. I had 2 dogs for 16 years, Casey and nibbles. Casey passed from cancer in 2009 at 14 yo, she was a black lab mix. My nibbles just passed in march of this year at 16 yo, he was a beagle mix. He has cushings, diabetes and went blind for the last year of his life. It was really devastating going through this with him and watching him rapidly decline on the last few months.
When he passed, I said no more animals cause I just couldn't go through it again. Then on October 10th I saw my neighbor carrying a cat carrier around and didn't want her to take away a stray we have been taking care of with a half tail and really cute. I asked if it was Sophie (stray, half tail kitty) in there and she said no its someone else and to come see her. I go out back and there's this little baby kitty in the car and they handed her to me. I picked her up and she licked my face. Immediately fell in love, end of story
She's 8-9 months old and we love the spoiled brat! They found her wandering the streets and took her in. She was really clean so she couldn't have been out there long. I can't understand how people just let throw there animals out
Took her to the vet and left her to be spayed and shots. The vet called to say her preop results had her alt levels at 786- normal is no more than 100. The vet is an hour away and they were close do we picked her up on the morning and she was put on amoxicillin and more dewormer for 2 weeks. Results dropped to 180 so she was spayed and is good to go now, thank god!
Glad to be here!

MOSES LAKE, Wash. -- Hispanic and women ranchers and farmers who believe the U.S. Department of Agriculture discriminated against them have until March 25 to file claims with the agency.
The Columbia Basin Herald reports the claims process is a voluntary alternative to lawsuits from Hispanics and women who can prove the USDA discriminated in loans between 1981 and 2001.
The program will provide at least $1.3 billion in cash awards and tax relief payments and up to $160 million in farm debt relief to those eligible.

LOCAL Dad Campaigns For Change In School Religious Observance
AN Inverclyde dad is at the forefront of a campaign to make religious observance in Scottish schools an 'opt-in' activity rather than an 'opt-out' one.
Secular Scotland is co-authoring a petition along with local parent, Mark Gordon, to the Scottish Government to amend the Education (Scotland) Act 1980. The Petition is also backed by the Humanist Society of Scotland.
The change would turn the current situation around so that the default position was that children were 'opted-out' of attending religious observance. Parents would then be asked by schools whether they wanted their child to attend a particular event, such as an assembly, where a minister was visiting to conduct a service or where material promoting faith would arise.
The petition states that the change would remove the "divisive and unreasonable presumption of religious affiliation in non-denominational schools which no longer reflects the diversity of belief and non-belief in Scotland."
Mr Gordon said: "The law says that 'in no circumstances should a child be disadvantaged as a result of withdrawing from religious observance' and should be given a 'suitable worthwhile alternative activity.' In my experience, and that of many other parents, this is most certainly not the case. My daughter is made to sit in the school office with paper and pencils to draw with and is 'looked after' by the school secretary since there are usually no teaching staff available.
"Before Easter, because the head teacher and my child's class teacher were not present, the stand-in took her to an evangelical church service expressly against my written instructions. After complaining, I received a profuse apology from the head teacher for the 'assumption' that this teacher had made."
Mr Gordon added: "The current situation provides little basis for parental understanding of the detailed content of Religious Observance (RO) and provides little or no checks and balances upon such content. It would be better to have a system that ensured the integrity of participation in RO. This would be an improvement for children and religion alike."
Caroline Lynch, chairwoman of Secular Scotland, explained: "It is important to stress the difference between RO and Religious and Moral Education (RME), which we support. The present 'opt-out' arrangement for RO is not fulfilling its purpose. RO is intended to 'celebrate the shared values of the school community'. However, as acknowledged in the Religious Observance Review Group report of 2004, 'in most non-denominational schools, there is a diversity of beliefs and practices'. Thus the current opt-out arrangement, which presumes a substantial uniformity of belief and practice, is no longer appropriate. Moreover, only one parent in five is even made aware during the school registration process of the current opt-out option."
Mr Gordon said he was not prepared to lobby the local authority to conduct a ballot of all eligible electors as recommended by the Secretary of State, explaining: "It would be prohibitively expensive. Many are unaware of the issues with RO, others are apathetic, and with the well-funded and organised religious lobby fighting even the idea of discussion, let alone change, local measures to address RO are impractical and ineffective. The opt-out system also breaches the right to privacy. Opting out from whatever is the traditional belief at a particular school exposes one's lack of belief, which is a private family matter. For many parents this would be unacceptable and is probably one of the reasons why many parents do not currently opt out. I urge all parents to sign the petition to increase the chance of changing this situation."

Is Brandon Browner crazy good, or just plain crazy?he's still putting the hurt on his opponents (whether it warrants penalty yardage or not)
When I saw Browner make that bonehead hit on the kicker (read about the play, right here), I was astonished. I don't care if you're playing high school, college, or pro...and it doesn't matter what country you're in. You don't chuck the kicker after the kick is away. This wasn't even close to being a block, and you can't really even call it roughing the kicker because the kicker had straightened up and was just standing there. It was like Browner went up to the guy, said "Hey, you!" and thumped him on his butt just because. Browner was very lucky that he wasn't ejected. It was that flagrant.
Bear in mind that on the play, the field goal attempt was wide. Browner was also lucky that Edmonton could not find the end zone on the subsequent first down and still had to settle for a field goal, which the kicker made this time. A TD would have made things very different at halftime.
Having said that, that third quarter play in which he caught up to the Edmonton receiver and punched the ball out of the WR's hands was amazing. That guy was wide open and was off for a sure TD, but he seemed to have a good grip on the ball. We aren't talking about Leon Lett showboating and holding out the ball, daring someone to get it. This guy was running and pumping his arms, and Browner literally raced up and punched through the space between the WR's arm and chest. That was a turning point in the game from which Edmonton never recovered.
As columnist Eric Francis noted, Browner has NFL tools. He just needs to keep his head in the game.
Big thanks to Beavers Blog reader, Joe Maguire, for keeping us all in the loop on what's happening with Brandon. If you would like to read the article Joe is referring to at the end of his commentary, you can read it right here.
Oregon Hires a baseball coach
This was released last friday, but I just forgot to post it. For anyone who cares about what the competition is doing, here's the latest out of Eugene:
EUGENE, Ore. -- When Athletic Director Pat Kilkenny announced the reinstatement of the University of Oregon's baseball program in July, the reaction among Duck supporters and baseball fans in the community was one of resounding excitement and anticipation. That sentiment will undoubtedly ratchet up a few more notches with the announcement of former College World Series championship skipper and two-time National Coach of the Year George Horton as Oregon's new head coach.
Horton, who has spent the past 11 seasons at the helm of national power Cal State Fullerton and led the Titans to the 2004 National Championship, will serve as the Ducks' 12th baseball coach in school history and it's first since the program was discontinued following the 1981 season.
"This is a tremendous day for the University of Oregon," Kilkenny said. "Baseball coaches of George Horton's distinction and ability don't come along very often, and his decision to come to Eugene speaks volumes about our commitment for Oregon baseball to become successful on a national level."
Horton will be signed to a five-year agreement that runs through June 30, 2012, with the length of the pact subject to approval from the Oregon University System's chancellor. The contract calls for a base university salary of $150,000 as well as an additional guaranteed income of $250,000 derived in part from radio and television contracts with the Oregon Sports Network and shoe and apparel agreements with Nike.
During his tenure with the Titans, Horton compiled an overall record of 490-212-1 (.698) and oversaw six appearances in the College World Series, including back-to-back berths in 2006 and 2007 as well as 2003 and '04. He was named National Coach of the Year by Baseball America in 2003, and garnered the ABCA and Collegiate Baseball National awards following his squad's title run in 2004.
Horton was also a five-time Big West Conference Coach of the Year, most recently earning the hardware in 2006 on the heels of his third 50-win season at the Division I level.
"To see what he has built and accomplished at Cal State Fullerton is incredible," Kilkenny said. "Coach Horton has put together an elite program and has posted an outstanding record on the field of play as well as develops student-athletes as both players and individuals."
Update on OSU Beavers in the NFL
One of my favorite bloggers is at it again. Ross Day, the man behind the Micky Mantle's Liver blog, just released a comprehensive post to update fans on their favorite former beavers now playing in the NFL. Here's just a few of the many tidbits you can find in Ross's latest post:
Bill Swancutt: He was cut by the Ravens, which is something of a surprise to me, given that Dan Cody is injured and out for the first few weeks of the regular season. He had a sack and several tackles for the Ravens in the preseason, but it was not enough for Swancutt to stick with a team that has a very strong defense.
Trent Bray: This isn't a surprise, but it is disappointing. Why? Because Bray had such a good pre-season. He led the Texans in tackles in two games, and was a standout during practice. The Texans decided to keep only 6 linebackers, and Coach Kubiak said that Trent was the seventh linebacker. It is unclear if Trent is going to make the Texans practice squad.
But wait a minute, it wasn't all that bad of a day to be a Beaver!
That's right, it is always a great day to be a Beaver. And some players had outstanding preseasons and worked themselves onto the 53-man roster.
Mike Hass: I don't know about you, but when I heard Hass made the Bears, I yelled out "Finally!" Hass had a GREAT preseason, and was probably the best receiver in Bears camp this year. He basically made the Bears keep him. The guy Hass was fighting with for the sixth receiver spot was released before the Bears final preseason game.
No matter. Hass made a fantastic catch in the corner of the end zone in the Bears-Browns game -- with a defensive back draped all over him -- that pretty much sealed the deal. He is number 83 for the Bears, and I couldn't be happier for him!
Tim Euhus: Tim was signed by the Cardinals before the start of training camp, but the tight end position was pretty crowded in Arizona. Nevertheless, Tim's ability as a blocker is what set him apart from the other tight ends on the Cardinals' roster. It looks like Tim is going to be the third-string tight end in Arizona. I have to admit, everything I was reading about the tight end position in Arizona led me to believe Tim's days in Arizona were numbered. This is a bit of a surprise, but a good surprise to be sure.
Click here to see all the updates, and here for amendments to the original post.
Big thanks go out to Ross for the hard work and the heads up on this post. Keep doing your thing, brother.
Buker is posting like a fiend
If you haven't been reading the Behind the Beavers Beat blog, then I have to question your commitment to being an Oregon State fan. Paul Buker has been posting like a rabbit reproduces come spring time, and the blog is FILLED with great content as a result. Here's some quick links to the best of his most recent writing:
- The latest on the Sammie Stroughter situation. Looks like good news on the horizon.
- Former Beavers, and current NFL stars Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh have been rumored to be attending OSU practice when the team arrives in Cincinnati. That should be a great boost for this squad.
- Sean Canfield will be the starter for the Cincinnati game. Here's hoping he does well.
That's all I have for you right now, folks. However, if there's ever something that you think I'm missing, feel free to post a comment below, or you can just send me an e-mail. If you have an interesting link about the Beavers, you can also submit it to Reddit where people all over the web can comment, rank and share the article. Have you Reddit?

Results tagged ' Postseason Rally 2008 '
Geared up
With W flags hanging 20 stories high and people standing even higher on the roofs of adjacent buildings, Daley Plaza was dressed in Cubs blue for this afternoon's 2008 postseason rally.
Cubs fans are always the trademark of anything the team is involved in, and today was no exception. The crowd cheered with every strike and out while watching replays of the 1984, 1989 and 2008 division clinch games. Fans twice sang "Go, Cubs, Go," and they danced in the crowd as emcee Jim Belushi danced and played the harmonica to "Sweet Home Chicago."
One fan held a sign that read: "Here for those who couldn't make it."
That could mean a number of things to Cubs fans, just as October baseball will bring back a wide range of memories and hopes.
But while the list of speakers today read like a Hall of Fame in itself — Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Mayor Richard Daley, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Cubs chairman Crane Kenney — the day's most enthusiastic cheers were saved for the 2008 Cubs. Derrek Lee, also joined by Sean Marshall and Micah Hoffpauir, directly addressed the crowd:
"Cubs fans, you are the best fans in the world. Thanks for having our backs and showing your support for the last seven months. We need it for one more month, 11 more wins," said Lee. "Let's go, Cubs!"
Game 1 in exactly 24 hours. Are you excited yet?
NLDS game times announced
Everyone at the ballpark is getting geared up for a full slate of events this week, including Tuesday's rally in Daley Plaza at noon. Jim Belushi will be hosting that event, and Mayor Richard Daley, Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Cubs legends Billy Williams and Ron Santo will also be in attendance to offer their support.
For those of you who have been hanging on game times for a week now, the first three starts have been announced. (All are given in Central time):
Game 1, Oct. 1: Dodgers @ Cubs, 5:37 p.m.
Game 2, Oct. 2: Dodgers @ Cubs, 8:37 p.m.
Game 3, Oct. 4: Cubs @ Dodgers, 8:07 p.m.
So where will you be watching the first two games? Are you coming to the ballpark or neighborhood, or will you be watching with friends at home?

Jerry Lawson is a fabulous performer and singer. He knows how to get the crowd going! Talk of the Town were amazing as well, hard to believe they play NO instruments but instead do all the songs acappella. Amazing performance.
Jerry Lawson, soul singer extraordinaire, is a national vocal treasure. Lawson is to A Cappella music what Elvis was to rock 'n' roll: the king, with the power to break or lift your heart at will. As music writer Rip Rense put it, "By any fair measure, Lawson is really one of the best singers of the last 50 years—-up there with Sam Cooke, Brook Benton, Jerry Butler & Nat King Cole."
As the former lead singer, arranger and producer of The Persuasions, Lawson's fans and collaborators have included Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Rod Stewart, the Grateful Dead, Liza Minnelli and four generations of vocal groups. Through it all, the Persuasions' sound was defined by Lawson's sweet and smoky baritone, his effortlessly organic vocal arrangements and his electrifying stage charisma. Groups such as Take 6, Rockapella, The Nylons and Boyz II Men have cited Jerry Lawson as a major influence.
Jerry started on his path to becoming a legend in Brooklyn, NY, where he and the other four original Persuasions began a 40-year career together. In 1969 Frank Zappa heard The Persuasions singing live over the phone in a New Jersey record shop, picked his jaw up off the ground and promptly flew the group to Los Angeles to record their first album_ A Cappella. _Thus began a 22 album recording career that covered R&B, Soul, Country, Gospel & Pop but also included full album tributes to Frank Zappa, The Grateful Dead and The Beatles, and even an acclaimed children's album.

When you were a kid playing sports, what was better than winning a trophy?
Other than the postgame trip to McDonald's not much could compare to the feeling you got as a kid when you were given a trophy.
In sports, many players are so jubilant when they win a trophy, that they'll even drink from one, sleep with one, wear one while competing, and of course, give it a big smooch.
There's no better feeling than reaching the apex of your sport, and the trophies we receive are the lasting memory of the accomplishment years after they're relevant in the sports world.
With all the playoff competitions being held right now in our favorite sports, I thought it would be appropriate to acknowledge the best trophies to be won.
Without further ado, let's look at the 15 best trophies in all of sports.

No Social Security Benefits for Illegal Immigrants, Says Bob Barr
Calls on Congress to Scuttle Secret Pact with Mexico
Calls on Congress to Scuttle Secret Pact with Mexico
"Much of Washington's most important work is conducted behind closed doors," says Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr. "As was the so-called Social Security 'totalization agreement' reached between the U.S. and Mexico, which would make hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens eligible for Social Security."
Barr says the plan combines time worked in both the U.S. and Mexico to establish eligibility for Social Security. "A Mexican citizen could work as little as 18 months in the U.S. and still qualify for a lifetime of Social Security benefits," Barr explains.
In theory, Americans also would benefit, since in comparable circumstances they would qualify for Mexican benefits; however, Barr says in practice, "the money runs mostly one way."
The administration admits that costs would initially average more than $100 million annually, an amount Bush officials term 'negligible.' "Only in Washington is $100 million not worth counting!" exclaims Barr.
The cost could hit $1 billion annually by 2050, though Barr notes that the government often lowballs its figures, as was the case with President Bush's costly Prescription Drug Bill. Barr says the last thing the U.S. needs is "to increase Social Security spending when the system is already trillions of dollars out of fiscal balance."
The U.S. has made similar pacts with advanced industrialized countries, but in those cases, the payments back-and-forth are more likely to even out. "Not in this case," explains Barr; "especially since even those working in America illegally would be eligible to collect from American taxpayers. The Bush administration signed the agreement more than four years ago, but has been afraid to send it to Congress."
Barr says Congress shouldn't wait for the executive. Instead, Barr says it should pass pending legislation to formally disapprove the agreement. "It's sad that we have to remind the administration, after it racked up a $400 billion deficit this year alone, of the importance of saving money," observes Barr.
"This presidential election has been dominated by symbolic gestures and trivial arguments," Barr says. "Candidates seem to think that voters are worried about which candidate owns which home, and which candidate wears which pin. Yet America faces critical challenges at home and abroad. Only Bob Barr and the Libertarian Party are running an issues-oriented campaign and talking about bringing genuine change to Washington."
"If the American people are tired of the status quo, their only hope for change is to vote against the status quo," says Barr.
Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr represented the 7th District of Georgia in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1995 to 2003.
The Libertarian Party is America's third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. You can find more information on the Libertarian Party by visiting www.LP.org. The Libertarian Party proudly stands for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.

Watch The Blue Planet
The Blue Planet is a television series highlighting the natural history of the oceans of Earth. The 8 episode series explores many of the world's oceans searching for interesting plants and animals and documenting them in their natural habitat. The first episode introduces how the oceans and their inhabitants are affected by ocean currents, solar patterns, and tides. These conditions show how the food chain in the world's oceans is set up. With this introduction the series takes the audience throughout the oceans exploring the deep oceans, open oceans, and frozen oceans and within each episode shows the unique animals and wildlife found in that ecosystem.
In the second half of the series the audience explores the coastal seas, tropical seas, seasonal seas, and coral seas. All of these different oceanic environments are explored and the plants and animal life is documented in each; sometimes the animals and behaviour caught on film have never been filmed before in the wild.

GOTEBORG, Sweden -- Former heptathlon champion Carolina Kluft helped Sweden win the 400-meter relay Sunday in a two-nation annual meet with Finland in what she has said will be her last competition in athletics.
Kluft, 29, ran the third leg of the relay. She cried when she was celebrated by her Sweden teammates and fans at Goteborg's Ullevi stadium, saying "it's sad, wonderful, somber, fantastically fun, and also nice."
Kluft dominated the heptathlon for half a decade, winning three world titles and an Olympic gold medal before switching to long jump in 2008.
She struggled with injuries and missed the London Olympics, which she had hoped would be her last major event.

Is Coolsculpting recommended after 2 Liposuction procedures?
Hello, I am 40 year old male who previously had vaser lipo twice on abdominal and love handle areas (2007 and 2013). I still have what I feel is a substantial love handle bulges which are probably combination of remaining fat deposits, skin stretching (I don't have greatest skin elasticity) and the fact that I have naturally wider hips. Would Coolsculpting be recommended for someone like myself? Thank you.
Doctor Answers 5
Coolsculpting after liposuction
Coolsculpting may be a viable option. To determine if you are a candidate, consult with a board certified physician who can provide surgical and coolsculpting options to determine which path is best for you.
Web reference: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/coolsculpting.html
Coo sculpting after liposuction
This is an excellent question. Many times liposuction results are difficult to duplicate when the treatment area has had liposuction in the past due to scarring. Cool Sculpting treats these areas by a different mechanism so yes it would be the option you are looking for to treat those ares. I especially think it is an excellent option more males.
Coolsculpting and Love Handles
Coolsculpting is a wonderful procedure and especially suited for the abdominal and flank areas. I have had many patients who previously had liposuction and now are doing Coolsculpting. It is especially suited for bulges that you are describing. Please find a board certified dermatologist with experience in cool sculpting for the best results.

CoolSculpting Can Be Done After Liposuction
We get a lot of clients who come for CoolSculpting after their liposuction, so yes it can be done. If you still have pockets of fat remaining after your liposuction then you may be a candidate for CoolSculpting to these areas. The best way to know is to go for a consultation with a CoolSculpting provider. Of note, the CoolSculpting procedure will not treat the loose skin that you have in the area, but there are other treatments for that. Hope this helps!
CoolSculpting after two liposuction procedures
CoolSculpting definitely can be performed after any number of liposuction procedures. You would need to be examined to determine if you might be a good candidate for the procedure, but in many cases, CoolSculpting can help in instances such as yours.

Hooper says he saw the job as a great opportunity to work on important themes on a grand scale.
He started -- even before filming started -- working on such themes as the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge, and Voldemort.
