Boogie has career game, Ryan Hare gone from SICC, and more...

Ex-Bradley Brave Boogie Wright .. has career game!!
Lawrence "Boogie" Wright had a great game this week in his Finnish league battle against LAPPEENRANTA, a 99-73 victory.
He played 25 minutes, was 11-14 from the floor, 3-4 from 3pt range,
25 points and 7 rebounds.
His current team-leading stats are 15 ppg, 9 rpg.



Ex-Saluki Ryan Hare seems to have finally hit the end of his college basketball career...
He is no longer on the team at Southeastern Iowa CC...he is "said" to have quit the team..but there's definitely more to the story...

He is reported to have posted something on his Facebook (possibly now removed) that there was some incident and it involved other guys on the team......possibly he can still finish his education elsewhere...
Recall, SIU fans were hopeful Hare could even return to save the Salukis as soon as THIS SEASON!!

Arizona State coach Herb Sendek inserted both Brandon Dunson & Corey Hawkins into their game last night for about a minute each...both were scoreless.
--Corey Hawkins went into the game at 14:32 of the 1st half, then was pulled back out at 14:21, 11 seconds later...he was then re-inserted to play the final minute or so of the game when Arizona State was behind by 12...he did get one rebound and one assist.
--Brandon likewise got minimal play and again, in bizarre fashion...
He went into the game with 1:42 left in the 1st half..then just 7 seconds later, at 1:35 he was subbed OUT, as Sendek made a five-man line change!
He then played the final 45 seconds of the 1st half, going back in with another 4-man line change but had no stats at all.
He didn't play in the 2nd half.

Both Brandon and Corey have now played a grand total of 9 minutes between them in the first 5 games. Both are getting a raw deal there.......



Wow -- today's ISU game vs. Jacksonville State is weird...
Jackie Carmichael coming off some pretty good games, goes 0-7, scores zero points, and grabs only ONE rebound! ISU was lucky to pull this one out!



Stanford just beat DePaul in OT 81-74 but the interesting news is that Stanford's best player collapsed immediately after the game and news is scant on his condition...
He was apparently taken immediately to a hospital...and I hope he's OK and does NOT have a serious heart condition...

December 2 is one of the most important days ever for soccer in the US...

Here's the non-sports segment....
OK -- I'm gonna bite on a couple recent reports I saw in the press...

#1 -- skin cancer rates have been going up for 50 years....we all know that.
50-60 years ago people swam in full shirts and even leggings...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2787/4347935085_6a9ca8f7a7.jpg

and the lag time is 30-40 years before the skin cancers show up -- so we're seeing that now...
But -- read this article and it says flatly and unequivocally that the skin cancer rates are due to the hole in the ozone layer!!!
http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/wellbeing/the-skin-cancer-time-bomb-20101126-189q8.html


#2 -- did you know whales are all getting sunburned...and the cause is the "hole in the ozone layer"
http://www.earthweek.com/2010/ew101112/ew101112h.html

But let's add some sense to this...the hole in the ozone layer is predominately over the south pole and wouldn't have a thing to do with sunburns in the northern hemisphere, and probably nothing to do with whale sunburns either!!


So what about the ozone layer? Remember -- in the late 1980's and 1990's we were all told by the expert that the holes and "damage" to the ozone layer was being caused by the release of chlorinated flourocarbons (CFC's), and if we would just ban the CFC's then we'd see the holes and "damage" rapidly improve and then disappear.

Have you ever noticed that you haven't heard a thing about the ozone layer lately? Well, some might conclude that's because the ozone layer is back to "normal"...but sadly for the "experts" who claimed they knew what was right for everyone, the ozone layer has not improved much....but it does grow and shrink cyclically -- totally unrelated to CFC levels!

In fact, the evidence over the past 10 years of what the ozone layer is doing, tends to strongly support that nothing whatsoever in the ozone layer is even connected to CFC's...
In other words...the experts on climate control and environmentalism were wrong again.
Many environmentalist talking heads conclude that if we aren't hearing about the holes in the ozone layer, then they must not be there, and thus the banning of those substances must have worked!
This is how their science works!

But to actually see the truth that exposes the stupidity and inaccuracy of those 1990's Al Gore-types, you have to do a little digging.

Here's proof that just as recently as this month, the holes in the ozone layer are still there and causing as much trouble intermittently as ever, but it's not much...
http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=13437204

But do just a little more digging and you'll find that the ozone holes come and go completely independently of the CFC's and the worldwide bans on them.
Since the worldwide banning of CFC's - and now the ongoing banning of even HFC's (that have not been implicated in any ozone damage but let's ban them anyway) - the holes in the ozone layer have not changed significantly...

NOTE -- ozone layer holes are not the same thing as climate change..but of course if it is to their benefit to frighten people and get the legislation they want, then environmentalists will always lump them together.

So if the total destruction of a worldwide industry didn't work, then what's the environmentalist's plan now...
it's just do more of what didn't work the first time around!! Ban more things!!

But get this.....scientists have now discovered that there's something even more important in determining the ozone layer and virtually all climate issues here on earth...

They have discovered.....gasp....that the sun is actually responsible!
OMG -- this is breaking news, and how come we haven't heard this??
(although serious, I think most of us concluded this very fact by the time we were five years old and got a sunburn.)

Now scientists are sorta suddenly waking up to the fact that it is the sun's activity that is affecting things like the ozone layer and climate.
Maybe we should ban the sun -- that would save those sunburned whales, too!!
http://www.theresilientearth.com/?q=content/scientists-discover-sun-does-affect-earths-climate

I am not trying to say humans should return to being totally irresponsible -- because if those ozone-related laws did anything, it at least made people more responsible with waste.
And I am not against using science in order to find ways to take better care of our earth...

However - slowly and surely, the global warming folks are having to admit this is true, that sun and sunspot activity may be having more to do with all this than any activity man is responsible for.

Even the ultra-liberal Jesse Ventura, ex-governor of Minnesota, has come to the conclusion that all this environmentalism stuff is a hoax and a plot to make certain people ultra-wealthy!
Now all that's left is for the other ultra-liberals to see and believe the evidence..

I don't know about you, but I get a laugh out of all the bumbling idiocy and pseudo-science that is daily passed off as truth and gospel and which unfortunately influences gullible (or greedy) politicians.
If you ever need a laugh -- just read what the global catastrophe people spout off next...better get your furry parkas!!!

The US is having a warm year but much of Europe is having one of the coldest years in decades!!! BUT guess what -- they are blaming the record COLD on....you guessed it...on "GLOBAL WARMING"!!!!
