Heading off to Video Games Live - important!
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:14:27 PDT
Hey gang, we are all getting ready to go to Video Games Live for the evening. I won’t be back until late tonight (most likely in-between 1 and 2 AM EST). Normally, that would mean that there wouldn’t be any site updates. Bethany isn’t around to take care of the site, and Deux wanted to, but he has work. That left me with a new option to try. I have future dated some of my posts, and published them. That means, if all goes well, the site should continue to auto-update while I am away. I honestly
Record numbers at 1st Lubbock Open
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:14:35 PDT
Around 110 players showed up for the 1st Annual Lubbock Open. The SPF (and SPICE) signed up about 70 new USCF members. The media (local network TVs and newspapers) came to cover the event. Lubbock Commissioner Ysidro Gutierrez is among the participants. Another notable player is John Hawthorne (2330 FIDE, 2362 USCF), Chair of the Psychology Department at Oxford University. We have 2 players over 2300, 1 over 2200 and a number of other strong players. Lubbock Mayor David Miller attended the Op
Baby Mama Movie Review
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:16:11 PDT
There’s a lot of love out there for Tina Fey, and for good reason. She’s a funny, funny lady. And her presence and influence in the new film Baby Mama is easily what helped this film not become lost in the wash of pregnancy movies we’ve had over the past year. But all that love should not be given only to Tina Fey. Amy Poehler deserves some love as well, and not the Dax Shepard kind. (God knows, no one deserves the Dax Shepard kind of love. You hear that, Kristen Bell?) I have had a thing f
Zimbabwe: Post-election violence on the rise
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:16:25 PDT
The election crisis in Zimbabwe continues: there are reports from the mainstream media, bloggers and human rights organisations about state organised post-election violence against supporters of the opposition, the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, has left the country for Botswana fearing for his life and the “ship of evil” continues to draw bloggers' attention. The Evil Ship KOGY calls the Chinese ship carrying weapons destined for Zimbabwe “the evil ship”: As the evil ship carrying w

Med Mal Reform in Tennessee
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:21:24 PDT
Both houses of the Tennessee General Assembly have passed a medical malpractice reform bill; it is now in the hands of Governor Phil Bredeson. The Memphis Business Journal states: The bill will require attorneys to file a certificate of good faith to reduce the number of medical malpractice claims that end in no payment to the plaintiff. The bill will require that medical providers are notified 60 days before a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed. The plaintiff's attorney would need to get ce

Bill Clinton Says Portland Pundits Are Wrong About Rural Oregon
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:21:37 PDT
ABC News' Sarah Amos reports: President Bill Clinton is excited to be courting rural votes across the state of Oregon today, even if the Portland pundits don’t think it will make a difference in the Oregon primary. Beginning his day in Junction City, Ore. -- a small community just outside of Eugene -- the former president told the crowd how he had read an article this morning saying that Clinton's visit to rural areas wouldn't pay off in Oregon the way it had in other states like Pennsylvani
Fire temple enters its 300th year
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:21:54 PDT
For the past few centuries, they have been one of Mumbai’s most important religious and architectural landmarks. On Thursday, the city’s oldest Zoroastrian fire temple-the Banaji Limji agiary-enters its 300th year. Tucked away in a side lane called Banaji Lane opposite the Akbarallys showroom, the ancient fire was consecrated in 1709 by Seth Banaji Limji, a prosperous Parsi businessman. “It is the oldest surviving agiary in Mumbai,” said Parsi historian Marzban Giara. Incidentally, the seco
Falcons Use #2 Pick on BC QB Matt Ryan
Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:23:13 PDT
Can the Falcons get back to being competitive? They think so, and will start that phase with a quarterback, as Saturday they passed on DT Glenn Dorsey of LSU and instead went with QB Matt Ryan, the senior QB of Boston College. Ryan will be the start of a new regime with the Falcons, as he will hopefully put the past seasons nightmare with Michael Vick, DeAngelo Hall, and Bobby Petrino behind them. Last season with BC Ryan threw for 31 touchdowns, 19 picks, and 4,507 yards. The Falcons wan

NEW YORK — Live from New York, it’s Saturday…well, afternoon. We’re here at Radio City Music Hall, site of the 2008 NFL Draft. Our seats are in the last row of the press area right between the NFL Network platform and the ESPN platform. We can confirm right off the bat that Mel Kiper Jr.’s hair does appear to be real. There won’t be any surprise at the very top of the draft. As you’ve probably heard, Michigan’s Jake Long will be the No. 1 overall pick after agreeing to a contract with the Mia
