Lobo White shows versatility
Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.self storageM.Aug. 16--RUIDOSO -- For Cleveland Storm fans, Reece White's versatility was no secret. If that versatility is a secret to New Mexico Lobo fans, it won't be for long.In 2010, White was a Journal All-Metro selection as a Storm linebacker. The next year, he was an All-Metro wide receiver -- quarterback Cole Gautsche's favorite target as the Storm rolled to a 15-0 record and a Class 5A New Mexico state football title.In the spring, White ran the 110- and 300-meter hurdles for the Storm's boys track team.Now, as a New Mexico Lobo, he's been moved to a position that, aside from quarterback, might be the most difficult position on the offense.And, UNM tight ends coach Derek Warehime says, White's doing just fine."He is versatile," Warehime said of White, a sophomore walk-on who has switched this year from wide receiver to tight end. " ... (The position change) was a smart move on our part, and it's been a good fit for him."So it seems.Saturday, during the Lobos' first full scrimmage of the preseason, White caught a long touchdown pass. Thursday morning, in an 11-on-11 situation that didn't involve tackling to the ground, he did it again.At 6-foot-2 and 217 pounds, White is small for a tight end. But his wide receiver speed, he said after Thursday's practice, isn't the only reason for the position change.There's also the love of contact that made him an All-Metro linebacker."I think with my frame, I can hold a bit more weight," White said after Thursday's practice. "And I've always been kind of a hard hitter. Other than that, maybe (I bring) a little bit more speed and a little bit more depth, because we're a little bit short there right now."Depth at tight end suddenly became a greater concern Thursday when Christian Rebhun, a redshirt freshman from Denver, suffered a knee injury. Senior Andrew Aho, meanwhile, sat out Thursday's practice with a knee injury suffered in Saturday's scrimmage.An MRI was negative for serious damage, coach Bob Davie said Thursday, and Aho is expected back soon.Thursday, White and sophomore Chris Edling got most of the tight end work with the first-team offense.But then, in UNM's offense, the tight end isn't always a tight end. White, in fact, rarely is shoe-to-shoe with an offensive tackle when the ball is snapped. Instead, he'll shift into the backfield or might wind up -- like in the old days -- as a split end or 迷你倉 slot receiver.Yet, he's clearly a part of Warehime's position group."This is one of the most difficult positions on this football team to play," Warehime said, "because you literally have to know and understand three different positions."Aho, Warehime said, can do virtually everything that's asked of a tight end in UNM's offense. He sees White as being in the same mold, as both a blocker and a receiver -- bigger than most safeties, faster than most outside linebackers and a quick study."He's a smart kid," Warehime said, "so he soaks it up in meetings, he takes a lot of notes, and it shows whenever we come out here and practice. He'll play for us, for sure, just because of what he's shown he can do athletically."White played in five games last year as a freshman, mostly on special teams. If the move to tight end can get him some more catches from Gautsche, his Storm teammate and now UNM's starting quarterback, so much the better."Wherever I can go to make the team better is what I want to do, so the move is fine for me," White said. "It looks like (tight end) is where I'm gonna stay, so it's going good."INJURY REPORT: Davie said Rebhun's knee injury, sustained in a kickoff return drill, appears serious.Though the Lobos weren't tackling to the ground at the time, they nevertheless were practicing at full speed. And collisions still happen."Here we are two weeks from (the season opener), and a kid like that goes down," Davie said. "... It just breaks your heart."TALKIN' ABOUT PRACTICE:The Lobos originally were scheduled for a full scrimmage Thursday, but Davie changed things after a heavy rain washed out Wednesday evening's workout.The Lobos practiced without pads Thursday evening and were scheduled to do so again today before breaking camp and returning to Albuquerque.Saturday's "Fan Photo Day" at University Stadium won't be a full scrimmage but likely will include some full contact.The Saturday practice is scheduled at 12-2 p.m. At noon, according to a UNM release, there will be free face painting and bounce houses in the north end of the Stadium West parking lot. After the workout, players will be available for photos and autographs. Aug. 31Texas-San Antonio at New Mexico, 6 p.m. 770 AMCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

Tour, tea and fashion show benefit Jardin de los Ninos at historic Amador Hotel
Source: Las Cruces Sun-News, N.迷你倉沙田M.Aug. 16--LAS CRUCES >> Indulge in high tea, high fashion and a tour of a Las Cruces historic landmark -- and help kids and families in need at the same time.The Amador Foundation presents High Tea & Fashions from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25 at the historic Amador Hotel, 180 W. Amador Ave. at the corner of Water Street. The event will benefit the foundation and also collect items for sale at La Tienda de Jardin, a boutique that helps support Jardin de los Ninos, which provides services for homeless and near-homeless children and their families"We want to show people the progress that has been made in renovating the Amador. Not enough people know what the Amador is and where it has been in our history. It's underexposed," said Heather Pollard, who is president of the Amador Foundation Board and also serves on the steering committee of La Tienda de Jardin.We'll have about 10 models showing fashions from La Tienda Boutique. It may seem strange to have a fashion show with clothes from a thrift shop, but we think people will be surprised by the quality they'll find at La Tienda," Pollard said.Event organizers hope those attending will contribute to the selection by bringing "gently-used" fashion accessories or clothing to contribute to La Tienda."We especially need fall items, plus sizes and purses,which are always good," Pollard said.The event will feature food treats catered by Carol Koenig's Celebrations, and tours of the Amador will be offered.Built in the 1870s as Hotel Amador, a popular rest stop for travelers, the building became the Dona Ana Courthouse 迷你倉價錢nd post office in 1879, when owner Martin Amador added a second floor, according to the Amador Hotel Foundation's website, amadorfoundation.org.By the mid-1880s, the site was known as "the most popular entertainment hall between El Paso and Silver City," hosting theatrical productions, light opera and puppet shows. Martin and Refugio Amador left the property to their youngest daughter Corina who worked with her husband Frank Campbell to transform it into the region's finest hotel in the early 1900s. Offering an oasis of lush greenery by the then free-flowing Acequia Madre, the hotel and its Pinto Bar and restaurant welcomed such luminaries as President Theodore Roosevelt, Benito Juarez, Pat Garrett and scientists with the Manhattan Project and was the site of weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, quinceaneras and community galas.The Amador became a bank in 1972 and was purchased in 1983 for use as Dona Ana County administrative offices through 2006, when historic preservation efforts began. The site is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and is now available for events. Plans are in the works for a museum space and displays of the hotel's original furnishings.Tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $25.

Bid adieu to the inflatable rings.But wait! Not so fast. There are oodles of uses for those leftover pool noodles.We've scoured every corner of Pinterest, an idea-sharing website, for fun things to do with pool noodles.

Carefully wrap one end using gray or chrome duct tape. Add the finishing details using black electrical tape.Get ready to raceSummer might be winding down, but the competition is heating up. Kids can enjoy a day of racing with just a pair of pool noodle tracks.How to make it: Cut a pool noodle in half, lengthwise. Lay the halves side by side on a flat surface, with the little tunnels facing down. Use tape, string or glue to help tether the two tracks together. Set up one end of the tracks, tunnel-side up, on a slight incline. Use marbles or small cars to race.Lovely lolliesHave a big sweet tooth? Pool noodles make great large, spiral lollipop decorations for birthday or holiday parties.

Danny Farquhar can't hold lead, Mariners lose, 5-4
Source: The Seattle TimesAug.迷你倉沙田 15--ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Mariners closer Danny Farquhar was a lone figure, waiting patiently by his locker for the media throng he knew was coming.His teammates were in a private back kitchen area of the visitor's clubhouse, grabbing a postgame meal after a 5-4 walkoff loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Farquhar could have joined them and made the questions wait, but he seemed eager to tackle the aftermath of Wednesday night's ninth-inning meltdown.After all, the good closers learn to shrug off the good and the bad, and this first blown save in six tries in his new role would definitely provide a test."The good thing is, I failed a ton in the minors," he said. "I blew a lot of saves down there, so, tomorrow's a new day. I'm a guy who's got a pretty short memory. I'll just try to forget about it and move on."But blowing a save in the minors doesn't quite match up to doing it in the majors. The big-league stage is bigger -- even if the 14,910 fans at Tropicana Field didn't quite represent a packed house -- and so are the stakes.Tom Wilhelmsen had a tough time dealing with the aftermath of blown saves once too often, and that's why Farquhar was out there in the first place. It didn't help that three walks in a scoreless eighth inning tossed by Yoervis Medina helped bring the top of the Rays' order around once again.Those hitters had seen Farquhar notch his fifth save in five tries the previous night. And when he was a little off this time, they didn't miss.Ben Zobrist drilled a ball off the top of the right-field wall and was awarded a triple upon video review. Matt Joyce followed with a single up the middle that tied the game.Evan Longoria then ripped a ball down the left-field line for a double that put runners at second and third. Wil Myers was walked intentionally, and Jason Bourgeois then hammered a pitch over the head of a drawn-in迷你倉價錢Endy Chavez in right field to end it.Five batters, all reaching base. By the time it was over, Farquhar had barely had time to catch his breath.But he said he'd had enough time to collect himself."The whole replay (thing) took a lot of time," he said. "I'm usually a pretty quick worker. I don't usually like time to think or time to worry about things. So, it didn't bother me how fast it happened."Farquhar said he tried to mix his three pitches in steadily to keep the hitters off-balance, but wasn't as sharp as he'd have liked."I just think it was bad execution of a lot of pitches," he said. "Pitches up in the zone, in the middle of the plate. Major-league hitters take advantage of that situation."And the Rays did on a night they fell behind early. Facing Rays ace David Price for the first time, the Mariners took a 4-1 lead with a three-run fifth. For the second night in a row, Brad Miller clubbed a big hit, a triple to left-center that scored a pair of runs.Fellow Orlando-area native Nick Franklin, who, like Miller, had plenty of family and friends in the stands, followed by lining a double to the left-field corner to bring another run home.But a two-run homer by Myers in the sixth off Mariners starter Aaron Harang cut Seattle's lead to 4-3.Charlie Furbush got five outs in relief and Medina got four more without damage, but Farquhar simply couldn't get it done in the ninth."We'll see how Danny bounces back," interim manager Robby Thompson said.Closing timeDanny Farquhar didn't retire any of the five batters he faced Wednesday.Wednesday Blown save, no outs recorded, 2 runsPrevious 5 appearances 5 saves, 0.00 ERA, 8 Ks in 5.1 IPSeason total 0-1, 5.17 ERA, 5 saves, 3 blown savesGeoff Baker: 206-464-8286 or gbaker@seattletimes.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Seattle Times Visit The Seattle Times at .seattletimes.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉庫

Pac-12 Networks urges viewers to leave DirecTV
Source: Ventura County Star, Calif.新蒲崗迷你倉Aug. 15--Honestly. It's like watching two little kids fight and call each other names.The Pac-12 Networks' squabble with DirecTV has gone on so long and become so acrimonious, the networks' PR department actually pitched a story this week wanting coverage of the advertising campaign it is launching telling people to drop DirecTV so they can watch the Pac-12 Networks.The campaign will be launched on billboards, online and radio. "It's a classic compare campaign that delivers the message to each fan base in a simple and lighthearted way," the pitch said.Well, as long as it's lightheartedIn Los Angeles, you'll see a picture of Roman soldiers with the caption "Trojans on DirecTV" and another picture of USC football players with the caption "Trojans on Pac-12 Networks." Or a picture of bears that says "Bruins on DirecTV" next to a picture of UCLA football players that says "Bruins on Pac-12 Networks."I think what Pacific-12 Conference fans would really like is for the Pac-12 Networks and DirecTV to stop devising ways to discredit the other, and instead sit down and reach a compromise that would allow these channels to seen by DirecTV subscribers.Each side making the other angrier and angrier isn't going to get it done.Good grief. You'd think they were Congress.TALENT COMPETITIONA big deal has been made over Fox hiring tons of talent in order to start up Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. But ESPN hasn't been sitting idly by either.ESPN has already signed Keith Olbermann and statistical guru Nate Silver, and now columnist Jason Whitlock is reported to be set to return to ESPN after seven years at FoxSports.com. TheBigLead.com reports Whitlock will appear on air and online.ESPN also announced this week it has signed "SportsCenter" anchor Linda Cohn and reporter/host Shannon Spake to contract extensions.MISSING IN ACTIONIf you've got Time Warner Cable, here's what you'll be missing this weekend in sports from CBS:Wyndham Championship PGA Tour golf; Western & Southern Open ATP tennis; and, last but not least, ArenaBowl XXVI, the arena football championship.That's why this dispute won't be resolved at least until the NFL season starts.OTHER NOTESNBC Sports Network's Premier League soccer telecasts begin this weekend with Liverpool-Stoke City at 4:40 a.m. Saturday, followed by Manchester United-Swansea City at 9:30. Incidentally, NBC Sports Network plans to gradually rebrand itself as NBCSN by the time the Winter Olympics start in February. The PGA Championship on CBS averaged a 3.7 big-market rating over the weekend, up 19 percent from last year, despite the absence of Time Warner subscribers in L.A., New York and Dallas. TNT had a 1.2 average, up 50 percent, for the first two rounds."Trojans Live," a USC coaches show featuring football coach Lane Kiffin and men's basketball coach Andy Enfield, will debut on KFWB (980 AM) on Thursday. Produced by Fox Sports West's USC Sports Properties, the show will be hosted by John Jackson and Jordan Moore. Radio play-by-play man Pete Arbogast will also contribute. CBS Sports Network will have AVP Pro Beach Volleyball from Salt Lake City (are there beaches on the lakmini storage?) at 1 p.m. Sunday.ESPN viewers who can't stand Chris Berman will not be cheered by the news that he will announce one of the two opening "Monday Night Football" games -- Houston-San Diego, Sept. 9 -- with Trent Dilfer. Filmmaker Peter Berg is putting together a new 90-second intro for "MNF," which will chronicle memorable moments from the 44-year-old series. ESPN has purchased the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
