New York Times best-selling author Mark Bowden will be in Hockessin next week discussing his latest book, "The Finish: The Killing of Osama Bin Laden" with an intimate group of readers and fans. Tickets are still available.
The Hockessin Bookshelf, a haven for local readers, is making a name for itself as a mecca for best-selling authors. Over the past two years, the local bookstore has been hosting intimate get-togethers, connecting readers and authors in a setting that's less like a cattle call for booklovers and more like a casual cocktail party.
The parties are the brainchild of store owner Rebecca Dowling, who doesn't just love books, she also loves readers. And, she has a special passion for authors with any sort of Delaware connection. But, her joy comes from putting the two together.
"We're a small state and we're not always getting the big names and the big tours," said Dowling, who has not had any trouble scoring well-known New York Times best-selling authors. "But, I've been lucky and our reputation for hosting good events has spread. It's so great to put readers and authors in the same room together and watch the connections that happen. I think both sides get a lot out of it."
This week, she and her store are hosting "Black Hawk Down" author and University of Delaware professor Mark Bowden.
Here's what to know before you go:
The author, chapter and verse
The author of nine books, Bowden's work includes "The Best Game Ever," "Bringing the Heat" and, of course, "Black Hawk Down," which was adapted for the big screen in 2001. He served as a journalist for The Philadelphia Inquirer for 20 years and now regularly contributes to publications like "Vanity Fair" and "The Atlantic."
Dividing his time between Oxford, Pa. and Delaware, he strives to inspire and instill journalistic integrity in the next generation of writers by teaching journalism at the University of Delaware.
Book breakdown
With a penchant for chronicling the military and special forces, Bowden's latest book, "The Finish: The Killing of Osama Bin Laden," is a gripping account of the hunt for the man widely considered the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Bowden delves into the next 10 years, describing, step-by-step, the tactical strategies used to fight a new kind of war and hunt down a killer. He takes readers to the heart of the hunt and explores the three possibilities of takedown: a drone strike, a precision bombing or a Navy SEAL assault.
Tabling the norm
Unlike other book signings, the Hockessin Bookshelf's event dismantles the table and eschews the long lines that normally form as voracious readers clamor for their moment with literary greatness.
"We really try to give our readers a different kind of experience," said Dowling. "We've partnered with a great community resource, the historic Lamborn Library who graciously helps us host the event, so readers really get to get up-close-and-personal with authors. But, the whole thing is casual."
The casual atmosphere means that not only are the lines normally seen at book-signings non-existent but people are mingling, chatting and munching on the provided refreshments. Fans have a chance to speak to the author and participate in conversations that are longer and slightly more meaningful than the usual pleasantries.
More information
Like all parties, the planning entails a head count so that food and drinks can be ordered. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by visiting the Hockessin Bookshelf, located at 7179 Lancaster Pike. Tickets will be available at the door but Dowling said that readers will still need to let her know in advance that they're attending.
"Just call us and we'll reserve the spot," said Dowling. "However, we will only be able to accept cash or personal checks at the event so people should be prepared for that. We'll also have a limited quantity of Bowden's books at the event. But, people are also welcome to stop by the store and pick up those beforehand as well."
Looking ahead
In June, the Hockessin Bookshelf will host Caroline Leavitt, a New York-based author. Her latest release (Tuesday, May 7) "Is This Tomorrow" will be her ninth book.
"She's not from Delaware but she has a blog and she has interviewed just about every single author we've hosted," said Dowling. "We like her work and she just seemed like a good fit for readers here."

The untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty." A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman with stunning black wings, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army of humans threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the king of the humans and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

As I watched Maleficent toggle between magic woodlands filled with trembling mushroom people and grim battle scenes steeped in markedly misanthropic revenge tales, I had to ask myself the question: who is this movie for? Too shallow for adults, too dark and dull for kids, yet still too cutesy for teens... I left the theater certain that Angelina Jolie's perplexing Disney twist wasn't for anyone, but in assessing the aforementioned elements as pieces of a puzzle rather than conflicting forces, I've come to realize just the opposite: Maleficent is for all people, because Maleficent is about all people. To be more precise, the film's structure is modeled after the lifespan of a human being.
Like all people, Maleficent starts out simple, unbearably bright, and cloyingly enchanted with everything around it - as a lass, fairy princess Maleficent (played by a preteen Isobelle Molloy) scrambles through her fairy-laden home, giggling like a Care Bear with the variety of natural abominations she calls friends (elephant-frogs, tree-skeletons, troll-rabbits). It's sweet enough to invite anaphylaxis.
It then grows into its teen years: brooding and self-serious - an older Maleficent (now Ella Purnell) falls horns-over-wingtips for some dope named Stefan, who vows his true love to her but is totes just being a selfish d-bag - followed by the violent hostility of its young adulthood - Stefon (Sharlto Copley, affecting a bad guy in an Animaniacs period sketch) betrays Maleficent (finally Jolie, who cuts through the thick, musty sheaths of aimless convolution with her incredible screen charisma... or maybe just those diabolical cheekbones) by stealing her wings, earning his place as king and setting her off on a course of bitter revenge.
For a long while thereafter, Maleficent settles into adulthood: cynical, mechanical, apparently bored with its life altogether (this after Maleficent dooms King Stefon's baby daughter Aurora to the curse of eventual eternal sleep) ... that is, until a change in direction affords it a short-lived whimsy that perks up the energy just enough to keep it (and us) trucking to the end. If we can work our way past Imelda Staunton, Leslie Manville, and Juno Temple as the insufferable and incompetent fairies charged with caring over young Aurora (Elle Fanning, but without the usual moxy).
Of course, before it gets there, it endures the ever faithful mid-life crisis, ushers in a resurgence of misguided passion that never had much place in the formula to begin with and certainly doesn't seem at all at home this time around - this is an era of ghost-fish, dragon-fights, and plot contrivances out the wazoo. But finally, the film settles on the tranquility of willful disregard, knowing that there's nothing it can now do about its lifetime of shortcomings, happily committing to memories of the things it loved most: reptile-pachyderm hybrids, diabolical cheekbones, and the narration of Janet McTeer. Like any human, Maleficent leaves the world with more questions than answers, and ones we're all better off relegating to a few short words upon its passing and then forgetting altogether.
And, much like all people, it's not very good. Fine. Not altogether bad. But mostly just brazenly unimportant.

LONGMONT -- Authorities worked into the night on Tuesday to remove chemicals and other items from a suspected meth lab in a unit of the Grandview Meadows Apartments on the 700 block of Grandview Meadows Drive.
Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said that earlier in the day, officers were dispatched to the apartment to investigate a reported disturbance between a 14-year-old boy and his young adult sister.
After officers got to the apartment in the complex's Building M, they found chemicals known to be used in manufacturing methamphetamine, Satur said.
No one had been arrested as of Tuesday evening, Satur said, but he said police did have a suspect in the alleged drug-making operation.
Longmont police and firefighters and the city's hazardous materials response team were summoned to the scene to investigate further, check out the apartment and remove the suspected drug components and other possible evidence, a process that Satur said at 7:30 p.m. was likely to take several more hours.
The Lafayette Fire Department's hazardous materials truck and a crew from that department also showed up to assist.
Satur said authorities did not have to evacuate the entire building. He said some apartments were unoccupied and that others, including some that were a long enough distance away from the apartment in question, were adequately ventilated and the people in them just told to stay inside.
At least a couple of people living in the building, however, said they were told to leave their apartments or that they couldn't get in once the officers and hazmat team had gone to work.
One woman who lives in another of the complex's buildings said the management explicitly prohibits tenants from even smoking marijuana inside their apartments, even if they're registered medical-marijuana patients.
No further information was immediately available about the fight or domestic disturbance that prompted the initial police response, Satur said.

About Sawhorses & Workmates
Sawhorses provide the necessary support to hoist objects in the air so they can be easily cut or altered with hand tools or power tools. Two of them are often used at a time to provide a sturdy balance while you work. In addition, two sawhorses and a slab of wood can also be used to create a portable work bench.
Different types of sawhorses are available depending on your usage and storage needs. Folding sawhorses are helpful when storage space is limited since they can collapse when not in use. Adjustable sawhorses are ideal when you need the ability to adjust the height while you're working. A higher height may put less strain on your back, but there are also times when a lower height will help you complete other jobs. You can even find folding adjustable sawhorses that give you the best of both worlds.
In addition, portable work benches or workmates lend similar support to help get the job done. Portable work benches usually come as a tabletop or a folding bench, can be stored easily, and have some other built-in features that help you while you work.
Stop in your local Ace for a sawhorse or workmate for your next building project. Be sure to check out our workshop aids guide for more information.

text: Hello All! I'd like to say I don't know how the hell I got here or how to get out! LOL Just kidding. I'm totally new to this blog, thread, posting thing. I hope I don't make a fool out of myself in here. So, here are my vitals: I'm a 4.0(in my dreams! LOL) No seriously I am. I'm sponsored by Yonex so you folks know where my loyalties are. I play the RQIS 1 TOUR 100 sq. in, RQIS 1 TOUR XL 95 sq. in., the RDIS 100 93 sq. in, I was given the YONEX RQIS10 102 sq. in and the RDIS 300 100 sq. in racquets to demo. I've hit every Tennis Racquet on the market. If I wasn't sponsored by YONEX I'd be playing the Prince Rebel 95 or the Prince Ignite or perhaps the Head Prestige MP or Pro. I've tried some of the latest stings and I'm partial to Mulit Strings from Yonex(Yonex Tour Super 850 16 String). I truly like Tourna Quasi Gut String 17. To me this is the closest thing to Natural Gut. As you have guessed, I'm a multi-filament sort of guy. The only poly I will use is the Big Hitter Blue from Tourna. It is one of the softest Polys out on the market and how could I not like YONEX's Yonex Poly Tour Pro 125and 130 Yellow String.

I think this is a very good topic because I can see both sides of this statement and I actually know a few people who agree it is tacky.
I personally like matching my makeup to my outfits because I think both the makeup and the colors on the outfit compliment each other and bring you and your features out more, just like how some people match their shoes to their outfits at times. I can't imagine myself wearing blue eyeshadow and I am wearing orange, so hence I would wear a coral or orange eyeshadow or lipgloss to sorta make the outfit seem more in sync with each other. I don't think matching makeup to your outfits is a must, I think many colors go well with neutrals such as a white or a black outfit, but I personally like matching my makeup to my outfits. As long as you don't go TOO overboard and be too "matchy-matchy" as in the accessories, makeup, outfit, and shoes are all the same solid color, I think anyone can pull off something simple like one or two things that match, but that's just MY opinion, I know everyone is different.
So LADIES, what's your take on it? I would love to hear both sides, and if you DO think it's a makeup faux-pas, tell us why!

you know...over and over i've heard don't match your makeup to your clothes and i usually try to avoid it...usually sticking to looks whose vibe goes with my outfit...of if i wear black or white i have a field day with colors...it's funny though b/c i've been pointed out by my boyfriend on a few occasions where i've matched my makeup to my clothes inadvertantly...i think you're right though...as long as it's not too matchy matchy...for example, for proms and formals, if you have a hot pink dress i dont think you should rock hot pink shadow...it's too much hot pink!

hey V,
I'm always wondering that question myself. I always question if I should match my makeup to my outfit.
After seeing so many girls on blogs and youtube match their makeup to their clothes, I believe that it is just perfectly fine. I never really understood that whole rule, its like if you dont match with your outfit then what colors are you supposed to use for your makeup? well besides the natural and doing that all the time is just plain boring you know.
SO now i just match, or use like a plumish color when i dont want to stand out too much. lol

i usually do kind of match my eyeshadows to my outfit. but then again, i'm wearing an ugly blue polo shirt to work everyday, but my eyeshadow usually matches the top i'm wearing underneath. hehe...
I guess you can say as long as it's in the realm of the color scheme, then yes I do.
and i do agree with Ren on the hot pink dress and NOT wearing hot pink shadow. too much.

I definitely wear makeup to complement what I'm wearing. I would never wear green makeup with a pink outfit - unless I'm wearing a matching pink lipstick! LOL
It's fun for me, and that's what makeup is - fun. Most days I don't wear colors, my wardrobe is mostly black (90%) so I can wear whatever colors fit my mood. But when I do wear colors, I match my makeup :)

I like to coordinate my eye makeup to my outfit. Like you said not too matchy matchy but I do like to coordinate and my hubby likes it too :).

I don't personally think your makeup should match exactly (i.e. blue shirt w/ blue shoes, hand bag, and eyeshadow), but I think you have to make sure you don't clash either (i.e. blue eye shadow, red lipgloss, green shirt, purple bag).

I don't know what's so faux pas about it really. I mean, if you're wearing a plaid shirt or tie dye, I mean it wouldn't make sense to put EVERY single color on your shirt on your eyes, you know? But if you can go with the same color theme and it "goes" with what you're wearing, then why not? There are certain colors that contrast nicely between clothing and eyeshadow, but I think the main part is how does it look overall.
I personally just do whatever tickles my fancy at the moment. But I think it's just personal preference. Everyone has their own unique style in how they wear their makeup. As long as you have fun and do what you do because you like it, then who cares about rules, right? Heh.

Well, as long as its not gold eyeshadow, golden tinge lipstick, gold earrings, golden dress...etc
Matching eye shadows or lipsticks with outfits look great and well put together. It also shows that the person takes time to make herself look good and is highly recommended by many fashion experts. But the same color all over one's face and body looks ghastly!

i've read in many publications that matching your make-up w/ your outfit is a no-no, but i think it's perfectly fine as long as it's not overdone.
i have a habit of matching my shoes with my outfit (which is probably why i have so mant :D), so why not match your make-up?

Hey! Sorry I'm leaving this anonymous! I just don't have a blogger but I LOVEE reading your blog! I just had a question though, what do you recommend for a mineral makeup or a foundation overall?

Hi Anonymous! Thanks so much! I highly recommend Silk Naturals, they allow you to customize your own shade yourself by mixing a light and dark powder (recipe is included) and very easy to make! I also like MMBB (www.mymineralsbathandbody.com)

Personally, I dont actually consciously match makeup and fashion but i dont think there's anything wrong with it, it can be very tasteful!

hey nessa.I personally never let my makeup and clothes match, though I never let them clash. However I think that except for a few cardinal ones like never wearing black lipliner or foundation that's several shades lighter than your neck and look like a mask, there should be no rules when it comes to makeup.

meh. i don't care what fashion/beauty critics say, I LOOOVE TO MATCH MY EYESHADOWS TO MY OUTFIT. the only time i don't match my e/s is when i'm wearing all black, and that's when i just pick out a color to wear.
the only thing i won't do is say, wear a purple outfit, purple makeup, purple shoes, purple accessories. too much purple, ya know. i tend to use my makeup as my single, outstanding "accessory," and keep my jewelry to a minimum. i wear silver rings, silver bracelets, and ONE obnoxiously big ring on my right index finger.

I definitely match my makeup to my outfit. Sometimes it's more subtle, but other times (depending on what I'm wearing) I really go for it with the color. I think it makes it more fun to get ready in the morning, too! I really enjoy playing around with the colors and getting to blend colors together!

I like to match my makeup to my outfits..if i dont really wanna look matchy matchy then i wud wear colors that are similar like for example if im wearing an orange shirt and i dont wanna wear orange eyeshadow, then i would choose to wear golds or browns for eyeshadows.

For me, it is ok to match your make up with your outfit as long as you feel comfortable with it!!! And it dpends on the colors you use. I believe if the outfit is super bright, then you can use the same color for e/s but toned down color. just my 2cents :D Have a beautiful day everyone!

I believe that it's okay to match, but not "overboard" just like how your opinion is.
What I perceive as super overboard is like matching nailpolish, matching jewelry, matching shoes, matching purse, matching hairpiece, matching eyemakeup. It's just too much if the whole outfit looks like one huge blob of color, you know?
But if there's some variation in the clothes and accessories, I'm sure having the eye makeup matching is just fine. Like, a really cute red top with some jeans and black pumps while wearing pink eyemakeup. something like that.
Matching head to toe is a no-no but strategic matching is go-go :D (wow I just made up such a corny rhyme XD)

If anything, I like to match my e/s with just my top. :) But yes I agree with you; as long as you don't be too matchy-matchy, it's alright.

Half of the time I do match my eyeshadow with my outfit. Some times I just do a neutral color. I worry that my makeup will clash with my clothes so I play it safe and use the same color as my top or a neutral.
- March 27, 2008 at 8:33 PM
- jewels said...
O i actually do the same as you. I match my top to my eyes. and if i am wearing black, my eyes are like purple, blue or something other then black. and if i am wearing white its like pinks or corals for the eyes.
but everything else I match top to eyes. green top to green eye shadow...etc. I just find it wierd to have pink eye shadows with a blue top or something like that.

I think make-up is supposed to compliment your face, not the outfit. It all of a sudden makes the outfit turn into a costume if you're wearing the same color lipstick/eyeshadow as your top. I'm a MUA and at work we get LOTS of older women and drag queens (customers) that literally match their lipstick to their tops, the eyeshadows to the shoes etc...

I'm guilty of matching. I've had the tacky comment on my blog a few times about my matching but seriously if you use colors that are dramatic and bold you seriously have to match up your outfit or you'll look like an ass in my opinion.
I mean if you're wearing some bold, funky green you can't go and wear a pink top.
It makes me so angry when people comment to tell me "You're tacky matching your shadow!"
I feel like telling them that's tackier to walk around with bright blue shadow and a yellow top!
rant over!

To be honest, I actually like it when eyeshadow and clothing colors match. Just in a different hue or shade of the same color.
They used to say blue eyeshadow is tacky and now it's all over magazines. They might bite their tongue again.

hey nessa, i shy away from trying to match my makeup to my clothes.. like others have mentioned hot pink shirt, hot pink purse, hot pink earrings and a hot pink hair accessory def does not need hot pink makeup, but i think it's all about balance. i like to play up something that i really like about my outfit like shoes, or i'll add a pop of color to my eyes or lips that may match an accessory like a ring or my nails.... all about balance baby!
- March 28, 2008 at 9:41 AM
- Sue said...
Hey nessa! You have a great blog going here! Anyways, I believe there is a fine between tasteful and tacky when matching. I personally think a peachy, coral-ly face is phenomenal.
You just have to find the right balance in order to look good. This is random, but I absolutely bright white eyeshadow, lol.

Nessa, there's nothing tacky bout matching your outfit with makeup. I hardly did that before but once my sister-in-law pointed out that people would look much better if there's no color clash, then I started to pay attention to my make up and what I'm wearing.
- March 29, 2008 at 12:47 AM
- ilurvemakeup said...
Eh sometimes, depends if you go over the top with the colors and match every spec of color with your outfit. nothing wrong with matching the main color of your outfit imho.
- March 29, 2008 at 10:54 AM
- Anonymous said...
for me, it depends on my mood and the overall harmony of the look. if i feel that the matching is not overpowering its fine. it really depends too on one's fashion and beauty taste. there may be a general rule, but for me i just usually stick to what makes me feel comfy and what I THINK looks nice. ;)

If they're basically the same color,..YES. However the eye and shirt are different colors, but still compliment each other, then no (:

- rmcandlelight said...
What is meant by not matching? Does it mean if you are wearing a pink/blue top you should wear yellow or purple eyeshadow? Now that would be tacky. I would wear pink of blue eyeshadow maybe both but not an exact match as my top.
- April 2, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Vanessa said...
I honestly think it's just on preference, there is no right or wrong, it's whatever you feel or makes you feel comfortable in. I mean so many people aren't comfortable in bright colored makeup it doesn't mean that those who DO wear bright colored makeup are "tacky", it's just preference.
Some like their eyeshadows matching their top, nothing wrong with that, some don't, nothing wrong with that either.

Mr. Biggs is not family friendly
Editor's note: The following letter was originally submitted to the Jefferson County Liquor Licensing Authority.
I am writing to express my concern about the presence of the Mr. Biggs establishment in my neighborhood.
A few years ago, my husband and I took our then 3-year-old there for an afternoon of fun. I believe the business was "Fat City" then. We had a nice time and felt safe and comfortable there.

Tim Miles World: Color, not Black-and-White
Randy York's N-Sider
The Official Blog of the Huskers
It's only 30 seconds and has precious few words, but Tim Miles' new TV commercial projects what Nebraska Athletics is really selling to this sports-crazy state … a vision of a head coach who has taken every basketball program in his first four stops from the doormat to the trophy room. Miles engineered rags-to-riches transformations beginning at Mayville (N.D.) State, then Southwest Minnesota State, back to North Dakota State, followed by Colorado State (a No. 8 seed in this year's NCAA Tournament with recruits he left behind). Now, Miles is on the move again at Nebraska, a true destination for a boy who grew up in a small South Dakota town and accepted his dream from Tom Osborne.
Like one of his favorite legends, Miles believes in goals and process, places a premium on recruiting and knows how to fight uphill. He values and respects tradition, puts the student before the athlete as a fundamental principle, believes strongly in giving back, is highly motivated in a different way than the man who hired him and could write a book on how to maximize potential.
No wonder Tim Miles sees full-fledged color in Nebraska's black-and-white basketball history book. He can close his eyes and see sold-out signs hanging from the ticket window and 15,000 fans in red and rising to their feet. "That's my vision, but it means nothing without you," Miles tells Nebraska's loyal base of fans, all of whom he considers prospective season ticket holders.
Celebrated Last Devaney Win in a Unique Way
Miles shares his Nebrasketball vision in TV spots airing on stations in Lincoln, Omaha and across the state, some of which run during live NCAA Tournament action. I watched Miles being filmed inside Pinnacle Bank Arena on the morning after his team upset Minnesota – one week after the Gophers had upset No. 1 Indiana. Miles celebrated that last-ever game at the Devaney Center with hundreds of fans on the historic floor and then later at home, over a frozen pizza he threw into a microwave while his sister, Karin Wiese, used the same appliance to "grill" a celebratory hot dog. A special education teacher in Sioux Falls, S.D., Wiese is the oldest of the five Miles children and Tim the youngest. As her little brother's guest for the morning film session, she shot her own pictures while Tim kept focusing his smart phone's video camera on almost everything around him.
Watching a brother and sister size up Nebraska's new basketball palace and future home was like watching Gene Hackman check dimensions with his tape measure at the Butler, Ind., gym before the tiny town of Hickory wins its magical state championship game in the movie Hoosiers. Hackman measures the 15-foot free throw line and the 10-foot-high basket. "You'll find the exact same measurements in our gym back in Hickory," Hackman tells his players in a confident voice. In the last part of that scene from the YouTube clip, Hackman whispers "This is big!" to his assistant coach.
Somehow, I could see Miles saying something just like that to his sister as they walked out of the arena and headed back to Memorial Stadium for the filming of his weekly TV show with HuskerVision. Since Tim and Karin are both natives of Doland, S.D. (population: 180), their eyes were as big as everyone else as they surveyed an arena still under construction.
Senior Project Manager Explains Arena's Assets
Tim Miles and his sister weren't the only ones to get excited about watching an arena grow. John Hinshaw was the senior project manager for the 22,500-seat Yum Center in Louisville before performing the same function for Mortenson Construction building the Pinnacle Bank Arena. Hinshaw likes the idea of Miles seeing a colorful new world during the black-and-white stages of construction and filming.
Hinshaw believes Nebraska's arena will be uniquely impressive and bases that assumption on two critical facts: 1) Nebraska will have the most spectacular scoreboard in college athletics; and 2) Pinnacle Bank Arena's split upper-level will bring fans intimately closer to the action.
"Nebraska will be the first college venue to have a true HD 6-millimeter, complete state-of-the-art scoreboard," Hinshaw said. "It has the right height, the right width and the right pixel sizes. It will be spectacular – the best board in college athletics."
Built for Basketball and Accommodates Hockey
Hinshaw is equally enthused about the split upper level that will create seats behind the suites that offer favorably comparable views. "Fans will be closer to the action because the seats will be closer the court," Hinshaw said. "Every seat in the building will be a seat. There are no benches."
According to Hinshaw, unlike arenas built for hockey and accommodating basketball, Pinnacle Bank Arena is built for basketball and can house hockey. Hinshaw says Lincoln's newest landmark will maximize every sight line for basketball.
"It has a horseshoe configuration that will maximize the viewing potential in the upper bowl," he said. "It will have wide open, inviting concourses and energizing space because fans will be able to see other fans at different levels. That's what makes this new arena such an exciting experience."
Lincoln and Louisville Are Comparable in Style
Hinshaw lived in Louisville for five years and spent his last three years there overseeing the new home of the 2013 NCAA Tournament's No. 1 men's seed. Since moving to Lincoln 2½ years ago, Hinshaw has fulfilled the same duties overseeing Pinnacle Bank Arena. Despite Louisville's facility having 7,000 more seats than Nebraska's, the two arenas "are very comparable in their style," Hinshaw said.
"I can see why everyone's getting so excited about coming to the Haymarket for basketball games and concerts," Hinshaw said. "The new arena adds another icon to Lincoln's downtown landscape. There's such an exceptional amount of building going on here right now. I think it's great how the city has found land to create an expanded entertainment district."
Hinshaw likes Lincoln enough to want to remain in Nebraska's Capital City and become part of a building boom likely to continue. Like you, and everyone around you, he's a prime-time candidate to get Nebraska basketball season tickets so he can get in on the ground floor of a program ready to switch from black-and-white to full color in the next six months. The ultimate question is a simple one: Are you ready to see the same colorful world that Tim Miles envisions in this look-to-the-future black-and-white video?

DURHAM, N.C.—Four different Blue Devils got in on the scoring action tonight as the Duke men's soccer team earned a thrilling 4-2 exhibition victory over Old Dominion in front of a great crowd of eager students. A pair of Duke freshmen tallied their first collegiate goals to help lift the Blue Devils to the win in their final exhibition game of the preseason.
Rookies Brody Huitema and Seo-In Kim both had a goal, while sophomore Luis Rendon and junior captain Sean Davis both netted unassisted scores. Duke, anchored by the backline of Sebastien Ibeagha, Nat Eggleston, Jack Coleman and Rob Dolot did not allow a goal in the final 70 minutes of the game.
"It's a very exciting prospect because we can attack from all different angles," said head coach John Kerr. "We had four different scorers tonight, which is exciting. It was a fun game for the big crowd of freshmen that were here tonight. I feel that we're going to be a lot more dangerous this year than we were last year."
Old Dominion, coming off of exhibition wins over No. 3 Georgetown and No. 13 Coastal Carolina, scored just 2:49 into the game when Tim Hopkinson collected a loose ball and slid a shot from 18 yards out past Duke goalkeeper Alex Long.
Duke settled in into its rhythm and started to control possession. Attacking with good pace, the effort finally paid off when Rendon got loose on the far endline and put a ball just inside the post to even the score.
The tides turned back in Old Dominion's favor 31 seconds later as Ryan Condotta fired home a failed clearance for the 2-1 advantage. The Blue Devils quickly rebounded with a phenomenal goalazo from the foot of Kim. The rookie midfielder took advantage of a small opening and ripped a shot into the right upper ninety for the goal of the night.
"It was a firecracker wasn't it?" Kerr said. "He's got a lot of confidence and a lot of good skill and I'm really pleased for him because he's been working so hard during the preseason. I think his attitude toward the game is beautiful and he has the right instincts and I'm really happy for him."
Just over 10 minutes later, Davis got into the mix when he put away a free kick from 25 yards. Lining up 25 yards outside the left side of the penalty area, Davis swung the ball into the right side of the net for the 3-2 advantage at the half.
Huitema added the final tally of the game just 29 seconds into the second half as Zach Mathers slipped a ball into the box for the Vancouver native to knock home. Duke maintained much of the possession in the second half as both teams showed signs of preseason wear.
Long played 63 minutes and made three saves, while Wilson Fisher came off the bench to make two stops. Alex Merrill had one stop. Sean Stowe and Matthew Sanchez split time for the Monarchs, combining for five saves.
Duke officially opens the 2013 campaign Friday, Aug. 30 in the John Rennie Nike Classic. The Blue Devils host Rutgers at 7:30 p.m., at Koskinen Stadium.

Notice a pattern forming here? I've been an Alice fan since I was three. The man does a good live show, in four parts:
1) Hard, almost garage rock type stuff.
2) His more concept songs, along with some theatrics that include but are not limited to: mock-attacking a dancer (his daughter Calico), being tortured by evil doctors, being beheaded, and/or being hanged.
3) More hard rock! Including "School's Out", during which big balloons are tossed out into the crowd (which never make it out of Gold Circle Seating, 'cause he pops 'em with his cane when the hit the stage again and the explode with confetti).
4) Encore with even more hard rock! Gives each band member recognition during the last song, including his daughter (and main dancer) Calico Cooper.

i saw my favorite band Local H around the end of may in dallas/fort worth. there was a solo acoustic set with singer/guitarist/bassist scott lucas that afternoon in some record store with no a/c. despite the heat, it was a lot of fun. the main show that evening was excellent as always. they played a bunch of songs i didn't expect to hear and didn't play a song i DID expect to hear (although in this case, it's a plus). i got to talk a little bit with both the band members after the show. the drummer, brian st. clair, is incredibly polite, probably the nicest guy in the business. scott comes off a little surly but he's not too bad either, just don't waste his time with stupid questions.
So far this year I've seen:
Weird Al Yankovic
Van Halen
and later this month,The Eagles.
I got to see Bryan Adams a couple of years ago with Def Leppard. He did the same thing with pulling a lady on stage to sing along at the show I saw too.
I ended up going big for the Eagles show,since it's for my Mom's Birthday and they're her favorite. It ended up being $185 a ticket,but I'm on the floor at the United Center.
Lets see.. The first Rock on the Range was probably my last big show.. Unless the Tragically hip show at the state theatre was after it.. :S
But... in 3 fridays.. I'm going to see NKOTB at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto with my sister We've got seats within the first 20 rows. I am so geeked. And I know some people are likening them coming back to having a root canal done.. but they are my backstreet boys... and I am so excited..
Last one that I went to, Seether, Shinedown and Fly Leaf all played.

Nearly $1,200 was raised Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Buddy Pack food program fund-raiser hosted by Ayerco Convenience Center at 1208 Mark Twain Ave. in Hannibal, Mo.
Nearly $1,200 was raised Saturday, Sept. 7, at the Buddy Pack food program fund-raiser hosted by Ayerco Convenience Center at 1208 Mark Twain Ave. in Hannibal, Mo.
"It was one of our best (fund-raisers)," said Stephanie Thomeczek, CEO of Families and Communities Together (FACT), the Buddy Pack sponsor.
"We raised nearly $1,200 in three hours," she said.
"That will feed about 600 kids for a week," Thomeczek reported, explaining the children take home food packages on weekends. "We do 300 to 350 a week," she said, so this nearly $1,200 "will basically cover two weeks."
The funds raised Saturday included the proceeds from selling the pizza and hot dog meals outside Ayerco, along with donations.
"All the food is donated," Thomeczek said, including the pizza, hot dogs, chips and soda. ... All the vendors donate the food."
She added that the band, Rock N Roll Revival, donates their time at this fund-raiser every year. "They gave us three hours" of music.
Band members were Ethan Evans of Quincy, Ill. (substituting for Dave Uppinghouse), Donnie McLeod of New London, Kevin McLeod of Hannibal, and Jerry Brockman of Palmyra.
Some of the crowd at Ayerco were dancing to the music, including Sandy Fuqua, Rita Coffey and Coffey's daughter, Tristany, who were doing some fast dancing to "Beer Barrel Polka."
Also present were Jeff and Dottie Asmussen, eating pizza.
Many children were having lunch and also being entertained, such as Kyleigh Cooper, who painted a picture after having her face painted.
Ayerco employees Judith Allen and Carol Wilson were among the volunteers serving the food, soft drinks and snow cones.
Several members of the Lone Wolf motorcycle group were there, including Tom Yarbrough and Rodney Brumbaugh, who said the group regularly gives donations to the Buddy Pack program.
Some of the funds raised Saturday came from raffle ticket sales "just from that Ayerco," Thomeczek explained.
The raffle is a statewide fund-raiser by all Ayerco stations, and ticket sales will continue until the end of September. Prizes are a donated Yamaha Yuma scooter and five $100 gas cards.
The scooter was on display inside Ayerco for the Saturday event.
Tickets are $4 each or three for $10. When tickets are bought, buyers circle the county where they want the money to stay.
"You can buy tickets anytime at Ayerco gas stations until the end of September, and the drawings will be first week of October," Thomeczek said. "You need not be present to win."
Students in elementary and middle schools in Hannibal and Palmyra receive the food packages each Friday. They are selected by their school principals, Thomeczek said.
The Buddy Packs have been distributed in Hannibal for several years. In the 2012-13 school year approximately 350 children received them each week.
The public is invited to volunteer by helping stuff the food packages once a month or helping deliver them to the schools. To volunteer call the FACT office at (573) 221-2285.

Wellington volleyball team is 4-4 after splitting games Tuesday in Winfield. Last Saturday the team was 3-3 at a tournament in WInfield.
Wellington volleyball girls split at Winfield on Tuesday.
The Crusaders first lost to Rose Hill 10-25, 15-25, and then stormed back to beat Winfield 25-15, 25-8.
" They played very scrappy and picked up a lot of balls. Abby Goodrum got to some Volleyballs that seemed nearly impossible to get to," coach Cherity Elder said.
below is a story that is in this week/s paper.
The Wellington volleyball team went 3-3 Saturday at a day-long marathon tournament to start the season at Winfield.
Wellington beat beating Conway springs, Buhler, and Winfield. They lost to Wichita Trinity, El Dorado, and Arkansas City. The team played three matches in the morning, and three more in the afternoon.
"The girls played great volleyball, and it was a long exhausting tournament," coach Cherity Elder said. "The team played tough volleyball all day and provided insight into the success their future could hold."
Siarah Walker led the day with 25 kills. The team passed very well throughout the day and kept the percentage around 80 which is what Coach Elder likes to see. The coach was also happy with their 90 percent serving rate, which she called "astounding."
Elder said McKenna Oathout did an exceptional job setting and Erin Goodrum filled the libero position wonderfully, especially for a freshman.
"Overall, I'm very excited for what I saw on Saturday. It proved many areas we are solid in and many areas that still need work. These girls have great chemistry, and they are competitive enough to get many more wins the season," Elder said.

I've had this idea rolling around since before SPE where I showed off an almost complete prototype. Since then I've milled the sear slot and on/off hole in the CF tube and have test cycled it about 1000 times with no problems (except the occasional chuff from my trigger finger getting tired).
I wanted to see what the interest may be in a Carbon Fiber mag body. Well, it has an aluminum breech and a CF tube attached. The prototype breech was from a ULE body that Shane-O unknowingly donated and some sample CF tube I purchased from a supplier. Right now the tube is has just a slight interference fit with the breech so its easy to take apart and clean. That may change in the final version, but for now the slip-fit seems to be working nicely.
Anyway, below are some pics of the prototype as I tested it and some shots of the body itself. Below that are some screenshots of a breech design I've been working on. If you have any input on the design that'd be great. I am also considering designing up a rail to match the body, but that has yet to be seen. If there's enough interested I'd definitely like to do a run of these bodies. Since there's less machining involved than a usual billet aluminum mag body, the price will probably be slightly lower, but I don't have any specifics at the moment. I'm kind of leery to do a pre-order as those usually turn out long over-schedule, but if I get a solid quote and lead time from my machinist for the bodies, it may be safest for all involved. Oh, also the tube is available in textured gloss or satin sanded (pictured) finish. I thought the sanded satin finish would go nicely with a dusted breech section.
Let me know what you think!
The only thing that may concern me is the wear on the inside of the CF tube from the stainless steel bolt sliding against it. The pic shows the internal finish on the tube. Most of the scratches were there when I got the tube in the mail. I attributed this to the manufacturing process of the tube when they slid it off the mandrel. For the prototype I put some light lubricating oil all around the inside of the tube and a thin coat on the bolt before I proceeded with testing. After about 1000 cycles the tube didn't show any significant signs of wear. I know 1000 cycles is a drop in the bucket, so I'll probably need someone with pneumag or RT guts to cycle a scuba tank worth of air through it so we can get a better idea. The good thing about the modular design is that the CF tube is easily replaceable if it does wear out prematurely. And the tube is relatively inexpensive for short sections like is used here.
Here's the breech design I had in mind. The computed weight (theoretical) puts it at lighter than a ULE body (I forget by how much). The prototype body pictured above is 105.5g (3.73 oz) with the feedneck and detent installed and 72.3g (2.55 oz) with the feedneck removed. This design will be slightly lighter than that because of the material removal around the feedneck. I may increase the amount of material there for strength reasons, but thats the overall design flow I wanted to go with - simple yet aesthetically pleasing. Right now I have it designed for 'Cocker barrel threads, Angel feed necks and Angel detents.
And a cross-section view:
Thats all for now and please let me know what you all think. I'd love to do some more projects for the AGD community.

A collection of Christmas Pixies.
25mm, 1/200s, f/4, ISO 800
This year I will be mostly... taking a photo every day, and posting it up here for you all to see and comment on if you feel inclined (please do). It's not an original idea, I stole it off a friend and many other people are doing the same as I speak, but I thought it seemed like a great idea to get used to my new toy, my Canon Eos 500D with Tamron 18-250mm Macro lens - my first digital SLR.
A lot of sites online talk about 'project 365' where people are encouraged to take a photo every day, but while their take on it is to create a personal history of the photographer, I wanted to make it a bit more abstract, more about the world around me. So this isn't meant to be a photo diary of my life, I am striving for each photo to be 'good' because of its artistic and technical merit, not because it's personal to me. Having said that personal subject matter will inevitably creep in as inspiration, but that's allowed, the book I'm reading claim that "every picture we take is merely a self-portrait of our inner psyche"!
I had a think of a couple of ideas for themes and settled on 'moods'. Then I was hit by indecision as to what to do if I take a photo I like and want to upload as my daily snap, but it doesn't fit the theme. So I have decided that the theme is just for inspiration rather than as a criteria, the photos can be of anything. That way I get the most flexibility of what to upload, and still have a muse.
While I'll be taking photos every day, I'll only upload them every few days, so keep checking back. I'm not anticipating the photos to be groundbreaking (at least not to start with!), the whole point is to improve so I won't be great initially. But I'll still try my best which will hopefully keep it interesting. Please feel free to add whatever comments you like (hopefully constructive!) as that will help me as much as the process of actually taking a photo a day, I will endeavour to reply to them all.

Voters will decide in May 2014 whether to ban genetically modified crops in Jackson County.
Enough of the more than 6,700 signatures submitted by GMO-Free Jackson County were verified to qualify the measure, Jackson County Clerk Chris Walker confirmed this morning.
The number of valid signatures well surpassed the required 4,662, she said. Co-petitioner Brian Comnes of Ashland said the validity rate was 87 percent after a statistical sampling of 10 percent of the names.
"We're very encouraged by the high success rate ... but it will still be a big challenge to get 40,000 yes votes in the election, because the bio-tech crowd always shows up and spends a lot of money to defeat these things," he said.
The GMO-Free measure would ban anyone from raising genetically engineered plants in Jackson County, with exemptions for scientific research. It also calls for the county to conduct inspections and allows enforcement through citizen lawsuits.
GMO proponents say genetically modified crops are more resistant to weeds and pests, easier to grow and more productive.
Multinational Swiss corporation Syngenta raises genetically modified sugar beets less than four miles away from several local organic farms, whose owners worry that cross-pollination could threaten their certification.
Measures in Jackson County must be passed in a primary or general election, according to the county charter, unless the commissioners hold a special election.
— John Darling
Measure to ban GMOs in Jackson County qualifies for May 2014 ballot
Voters will decide in May 2014 whether to ban genetically modified crops in Jackson County.

Terra Haute, Ind. – Seven members of the Duke men's cross country team toed the line in Terra Haute, Ind., Saturday, Oct. 19, for the Pre-Nationals blue race. The Blue Devils improved their record to 58-19 overall and 7-2 against ACC opponents after scoring 586 points and placing 15th out of 52 teams.
The Pre-Nationals field showcased a number of nationally ranked teams. No. 2 Colorado captured the overall team title with 90 points and No. 4 Oregon finished second with 113 points. Iona rounded out the top three with 126 points. The fourth through 14th-place finishers included No. 29 Stanford (148), No. 9 Tulsa (159), No. 10 Princeton (276), No. 1 Oklahoma State (300), No. 19 Boise State (313), Oklahoma (409), Southern Utah (425), Butler (444), Cal Poly (464), Montana State (524) and Kansas (527).
With postseason competition just two weeks away, Duke men's head cross country coach Norm Ogilvie looked for an aggressive start from his squad in the 359-runner field Saturday.
"We didn't get out particularly well. We kind of got buried a little bit. It was hard for us to move up throughout the rest of the field. We did move up through the race. [The team] went out kind of how I was looking for," Ogilvie said. "I wanted them to go out somewhere between 4:40 and 4:45 in the mile and they went out in a 4:44."
After seeing a number of competitors make an aggressive start and fade as the race progressed, Ogilvie recognizes the "fine line" between aggressive racing and smart racing.
Senior Brian Atkinson led all Blue Devils with an 88th-place finish Saturday. The Melbourne Beach, Fla., native ran a time of 24:31.62 and crossed the line as the third ACC finisher in the competition.
Junior Shaun Thompson, competing in his second meet of the season, finished one second behind Atkinson, covering the 8,000-meter LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in a time of 24:32.86. Thompson placed 96th overall and crossed the line as the seventh ACC competitor.
Graduate student Mike Moverman and senior Christian Britto placed 115th and 116th, respectively. Moverman and Britto crossed the finish within a second of one another, with Moverman clocking a 24:43.08 and Britto finishing in 24:43.54. Britto set a personal record and closed the gap between Duke's first through fourth runner to less than 15 seconds.
Sophomore William Rooney placed fifth for the Blue Devils and 171st overall. A product of Darien, Conn., Rooney recorded a time of 25:05.75 in his fourth race of 2013.
Senior Lucas Talavan-Becker and junior Brian Schoepfer finished sixth and seventh for the Blue Devils and 230th and 243rd, respectively. Talavan-Becker ran a time of 25:19.88. Schoepfer finished in a time of 25:23.45 following a personal-best effort of 25:02.2 at the Royal Cross Country Challenge a week earlier.
The trio of freshman Stephen Shine, sophomore Blake Udland and junior Nate McClafferty competed in the Pre-Nationals open competition Saturday, with Shine finishing first for the Blue Devils and 16th overall in a time of 25:47.23. Udland placed 20th overall in a time of 25:52.52 and McClafferty concluded the open race for the Blue Devils, running 26:27.71, which placed him 46th overall.
Pre-Nationals marked the conclusion of regular season competition for the Blue Devils. Duke will travel to Kernersville, N.C., Friday, Nov. 1, to compete in the ACC Championship meet.

Lakers fall at Denver
The Nuggets beat the Lakers 119-108 on Monday to win their ninth straight game at home and snapped the Lakers' four-game winning streak in the process, taking the season series 3-1. Danilo Gallinari, who was expected to play, was a late scratch with his lingering thigh bruise. Wilson Chandler came through with 23 points and three 3-pointers on 10-of-18 shooting in a start in Gallo's place. Like I mentioned, Gallo was a very late scratch, so it would be surprising to see him miss Wednesday's game at Portland. Ty Lawson stayed hot with 22 points and eight dimes, and has scored at least 20 in seven straight games, and Andre Iguodala had his seventh double-double of the season, and second straight, with 14 points and 12 assists on 6-of-9 shooting, which his owners were psyched about seeing. Kenneth Faried also double-doubled with 12 points, 10 boards, three steals and two blocks, while Corey Brewer also helped make up for the absence of Gallinari with 16 points and a 3-pointer on 6-of-15 shooting. JaVale McGee paid off for owners who rolled the dice on him with seven points, seven boards and four blocks in 23 minutes.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 29 points, six boards and nine assists on 12-of-23 shooting, but missed his only 3-point attempt. He hit four of them on Sunday, but had made just two 3-pointers since Jan. 21 prior to that game. Steve Nash said after Sunday's game, when he went off for 20 points, four assists, a steal and four 3-pointers, that he doesn't "have much freedom" due to his lingering back injury. He also didn't sound too worried about the problem, but it's something worth keeping an eye on. Nash had 16 points, five assists and six turnovers on 6-of-8 shooting Monday, so his back is at least letting him play, and he finally looks like he's meshing with Kobe and company. Dwight Howard had 15 points and 14 rebounds, but also missed 11 of his final 12 free throw attempts on the night, hitting 3-of-14 of them in the loss. Anyone (attention: Mike D'Antoni) who doesn't think Dwight's free throws aren't costing the Lakers big time is wearing blinders. Metta World Peace bounced back with 15 points, three steals and two 3-pointers, while Antawn Jamison had 14 points, three boards and three 3-pointers. This wasn't Earl Clark's night, as he hit 4-of-9 shots for eight points and just one rebound in the loss.
Atlanta routs Pistons in Detroit
Al Horford hit 10-of-13 shots for 23 points and tied a career high with 22 rebounds, and kicked in a couple steals, blocks and a rare 3-pointer in the easy win. Josh Smith added 23 points, seven boards, four assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer, while Jeff Teague stayed hot with 20 points, 12 assists, two steals and two 3-pointers. Kyle Korver started at small forward on Monday, sending Devin Harris to the bench, and hit five 3-pointers for 15 points in 32 minutes. He's now gone 49 straight games with a 3-pointer. Harris, who scored 21 points in his last one, had 11 points in just 13 minutes, but has still managed to hit double digits in scoring in three straight. Zaza Pachulia was out with a sore Achilles. The Hawks, who were up by as many as 26 points in the third quarter, have won five out of their last six games with Monday's 114-103 win. The Hawks' schedule is nearly perfect the rest of the way, so owners of Horford, Smith and Teague should prepare to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Brandon Knight missed Monday's game and could miss a few more with a knee injury, and Rodney Stuckey is the guy who will benefit the most. With Will Bynum serving a one-game suspension and Jose Calderon unable to throw it into the ocean last night, Stuckey hit 10-of-17 shots for 22 points, five rebounds and a steal on 10-of-17 shooting. Obviously, he'll be real inconsistent once Bynum and Knight are back, but is a fine play for as long as Knight (who is day-to-day) is out. Calderon was 3-of-11 for seven points, five boards, nine assists and a 3-pointer, and should shoot it better on most nights. Jonas Jerebko came out of nowhere for a season-high 21 points, six rebounds, a steal and 3-pointer on 9-of-12 shooting in 24 minutes. Just keep an eye on him. It sounds like Andre Drummond could be ready to return in about two weeks from his back injury, but the Pistons' playoff schedule isn't great. They go 3-3-3-3-4-2-2 weekly to (weakly) end the season.
Wizards take down Raptors for third straight win
Bradley Beal hit 8-of-13 shots and two 3-pointers for 20 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal, and is clearly feeling it right now. And given the Wizards' 3-4-4-4-4-3-2 finish, Beal's owners have to be giddy. John Wall hit just 3-of-11 shots for 10 points, five boards and seven assists, and will bounce back. Emeka Okafor had eight points and 13 rebounds, but didn't block a shot (again). I don't know what the problem is, but Okafor has blocked a shot in just three of his 11 February games for five total, but has hit double digits in rebounds and points in six of those games. Martell Webster had 12 points and two 3-pointers to stay relevant, while Nene just missed a double-double with 11 points, nine boards and a block. Trevor Ariza has been a hot topic lately, but had just eight points and six boards on 3-of-9 shooting in 26 minutes. He's going to be inconsistent coming off the bench behind Webster, but at least the minutes are there.
Amir Johnson started on Monday, moving Landry Fields (five minutes, zero points) to the bench, and had six points, 13 rebounds, a steal and three blocks in 37 minutes. DeMar DeRozan went off for 25 points, a steal and a block on 9-of-17 shooting, but as usual, didn't hit a 3-pointer. Kyle Lowry was solid with 18 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and three 3-pointers on 6-of-17 shooting. He's must-start the rest of the way. Rudy Gay hit just 1-of-11 shots and has now hit just 81-of-216 shots (37.5%) in the month of February. He can't shoot it this poorly the rest of the way, so just keep rolling him out there and wait for the slump to end. Jonas Valanciunas had four points and three rebounds in just 18 minutes, and if I own him, I'm probably ready to let go after this one. Alan Anderson played 24 minutes, but missed all four of his shots for four points, three rebounds and four fouls. He could be better than this on most nights going forward, as the minutes are there, but his shot isn't falling consistently.
Andrea Bargnani had eight points in 21 minutes on 4-of-11 shooting, but his elbow injury is still impacting his shot (he was 0-for-6 in his previous two games) and the boos he's hearing from the crowd appear to be shaking what little confidence he had. "I can't say I'm happy about it," he said of the booing. He still has a chance to get things turned around this season, but if I owned him, I'd be scouring the wire for someone who can help my team right now. After a four-game week next week, the Raps go 3-3-3-4-3 to finish out the season.
Celtics outlast Jazz in OT in Utah
Paul Pierce had 26 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and three 3-pointers on 10-of-20 shooting and scored seven straight points in overtime to lead the Celtics over the Jazz on Monday. Kevin Garnett was back in action with 13 points, 10 boards, a steal and a block, and all five starters scored in double figures for the Celtics. Avery Bradley was 8-of-12 with two 3-pointers for 18 points, five boards, four assists and two steals, while Courtney Lee added 14 points, five boards, three assists and a 3-pointer in the start. Jason Terry added 14 points and four 3-pointers in 23 minutes off the bench, while Jordan Crawford played less than five minutes and scored two points. Bradley, Lee and Terry are all worth a look, but are also all a roll of the dice from night to night. Jeff Green was chilly for the second straight game after his 31 points and five blocks on Friday. He was 3-of-10 for six points and not much else, but did play 28 minutes. I still think he's a must-own player and is going to be a stud the rest of the way. With the Celtics only having two games this week, chances are he was on fantasy benches anyway.
Gordon Hayward got hot and went off for 26 points, two boards, three assists, a steal, a block and four 3-pointers on 7-of-16 shooting, and is back in must-start territory. He's scored 17, 23 and 26 points in his three games since returning from his shoulder injury, so make sure he's not available in your league. Alec Burks played a season-high 33 minutes, and while he had just eight points, he also had five boards and three assists, and helped limit Randy Foye to just 17 minutes and six points. Al Jefferson double-doubled with 15 points, 11 boards, a steal and a block, while Paul Millsap played through a sprained ankle and had 16 points, six boards, five assists, a steal and two blocks in the OT loss. Marvin Williams somehow had 15 points and two 3-pointers, but you can't trust him with Hayward and Burks coming on. Earl Watson made some news by starting over Jamaal Tinsley (DNP-CD) at point guard on Monday, but had just two points, two assists and four turnovers. This team needs Mo Williams (thumb), badly. Derrick Favors had seven points, six boards and zero blocks off the bench, and played just 19 minutes, mostly due to foul trouble. The trade deadline has passed, and no matter how hard you wish for it, Favors, Jefferson and Millsap are not being traded, fans.
News and Notes
Knicks point guard Raymond Felton's right heel injury doesn't look serious and he's expected to play on Wednesday against the Warriors. Carmelo Anthony avoided a suspension for his flagrant foul on Spencer Hawes Sunday, meaning he's good to go for his three games his week.
Lamar Odom says he's finally in shape after last year's fiasco in Dallas and a slow start for the Clippers this season. He had 18 points, six boards and a steal in his last game and should officially be on your fantasy radar going forward.
Kevin Love is hoping to play in the last 15-20 games of the season for Minnesota after missing time with a broken hand, which could put him back in action sometime between March 15 and March 24. And if that happens, the Wolves' fantasy playoff schedule is pretty sweet to end the year, as they go 4-4-4-4-4-4-2 to finish out the season. Love wasn't great the last time we saw him playing, but if he was dropped in your league and you think he could help your team during H2H playoffs, it's time to pick him up.
Tony Parker is hoping to play on Wednesday after taking a break for the Spurs on Sunday. I'd be shocked if he's not in the lineup then, while the fact the Spurs only have three games this week and no back-to-backs is good news for everyone involved.
The Nets' Joe Johnson didn't sound optimistic about his foot injury, saying it's not plantar fasciitis, but that his heel is "badly bruised." He's iffy for Tuesday's game, but my guess is he'll sit out, as the Nets came out and said recently they'll have no problem benching JJ and Deron Williams for rest between now and the playoffs. C.J. Watson's still not a must-own player (yet), but I'd be happy to have him in my lineup tonight if Johnson is out. Williams practiced with a compression sleeve on his calf on Monday and is expected to start on Tuesday night.
Kirk Hinrich's elbow issue is not getting better quickly, leaving him iffy for the whole week. And as long as that's the case, Nate Robinson is a must-own fantasy player.
Al Harrington could debut on Tuesday for the Magic after missing the season with a knee injury. I doubt he'll make a huge impact, but could steal a few of Andrew Nicholson's minutes going forward. Jameer Nelson didn't travel with the Magic for tonight's game in Philadelphia, and could miss the whole week with his bruised left knee. E'Twaun Moore and Beno Udrih will pick up his minutes and production for as long as he's out.
Bulls reserve big man Taj Gibson was diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his left knee and is expected to miss two weeks with the injury. If you own Joakim Noah or Carlos Boozer, this should mean good things for them going forward.

Skylar Diggins Being Used to Lure Football Recruits to Notre Dame
Nothing unusual about using a pretty lady to get recruits interested in your program.
Everyone remembers Jesus Shuttlesworth recruiting trips from "He Got Game", that wasn't that far off from reality. I am not mad at Brian Kelly for using Skylar Diggins, but it does show you that the mystique of Notre Dame isn't what it once was.
Skylar Diggins is the face of women's basketball. NFL players admit to crushing on her. And now she's being considered the recruiting secret weapon for the struggling Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Later that evening, Diggins tweeted: "Just met a couple ND recruits … young men were very polite haha."
A follower then replied to Diggins asking if she knew if Notre Dame coaches used her name as a recruiting tool.
"I've done my fair share of recruiting," Diggins responded.
Lil Wayne wasn't available for comment.
