Sizzling Sixers' champagne day
Big-time basketball, the way we learned to love it, was back bolder than brass in Adelaide on Saturday. The 36ers were vintage in front of 5787 roaring, emotional fans who helped drive the club's eleventh hour NBL finals bid with its staggering 115-93 bitch-slap of the Hummer Championship-leading Kings. Brian Goorjian's over-wrought, over-confident, over-the-top physical fanatics are always fun to beat but it's not something the Sixers have been doing a lot of lately. In fact, it's been a long while since the 36ers have played as they did for 48 showcase minutes at the Distinctive Homes Dome. Fans came ready to see and experience something special and they were not disappointed. New import Julius Hodge evoked great memories of another former Denver Nugget, Kevin Brooks, with his infectious smile and near triple-double debut of 24 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists.
Swiss Re executive fatally battered daughter to 'drive out devil'
Alberto Izaga, 36, the most senior executive in London for the insurance giant Swiss Re, thought he was on a mission and that there was a struggle between good and evil and the devil, the Old Bailey was told. Mr Izaga, who had described his daughter Yanire as the "most precious treasure on earth" was rambling for several hours in June last year, after waking up in the early hours of the morning, about how executives were part of a sect and were taking over the financial world and an American film called Bug, about a man who had bugs beneath his skin. With his terrified wife trying to ring for help, Mr Izaga grabbed his daughter from the nursery he had prepared and shook her before swinging her against the wooden floor. .
SFGate: Raiders Silver and Black Blog
A motion penalty, barely visible to the naked eye, erased another Raven smothering on 4th-and-1. The final stroke of luck was a defensive holding penalty on another fourth-down pass play, negating one more potential Baltimore death blow. It was an awful call, one of the worst ever to decide a game. NFL refs, incompetent boobs in some cases, never make that call to decide a game. The Pats still needed to score and they did, even though replays showed that Pats WR Jabbar Gaffney was juggling the ball as he went out of bounds. True to form, the gutless replay judge did not overturn the call on the field, lest anyone think the worst officials in any sport in any country be put in a negative light. This lucky escape by the Patriots might have trumped the Tuck Rule game.

Soon, outlandishly sized parachute bucktails or heavy umbrella rigs loaded with soft-bodied white or chartreuse Sassy Shad bodies were released over the squeaky-clean boat's transom, port and starboard sides.
Sadler let out several hundred feet of line from each outfit, double-checked the drag mechanisms on the reels, then stuck the rods into their holders. The trolling began, but Sadler didn't join the merry-go-round. He stayed away from the other boats, kept the radio chatter to a minimum, and right around the time we munched on the first sandwich of the day Sadler shouted, "Fish on!"
