Friends and Neighbors!
To my sweet sweet Memphis Friends – As you probably know my friends from New Orleans Jessica and her sister Kim along with Kim’s daughters Billie (13) and Rylie (2) have evacuated from New Orleans to 310 S. Main. Not knowing if your home is going to survive or if you are going to have a job to go back to is absolutely gut wrenching. Please make them feel welcome while they are evacuated. Give them a call, help them find a wifi connection, show them around-they'll be looking for a grocery store and some entertainment, Edison can even bake them a cake or fix them a 4 course meal– just let them know that there is someone around to help out if they need it. Anything you can do will be greatly appreciated! Oh I forgot to mention Jessica’s weenies. Jessica brought her 4 rescued dachshunds – their names are longer than they are! From the photo above -L-R Lilliey Peepers Peppers Schnucombs Mango Toye,
Jessica’s number is 504-331-6683.

Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) False Alarm
BrianC & Jen reported a crazy looking bug in their courtyard the other day. They furiously snapped a pic for the record. By first impression it looked like the notorious Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) which has infested and destroyed forests in the eastern region of the US, Canada and Europe. The ALB is native to China and the Federal Government is trying to eradicate this species due to its potential impact to the forests.
This bug was not the ALB. After diligent research, BrianC figured it is a look-alike and commonly mistaken as the ALB. It is in fact a Florida Longhorn Beetle Plectrodera scalator (Fabricius).
There is another notorious beetle found in South Main and continues to wreak the livers of it's residents. It is the Green Beetle.
Oh well, after all this entymological crap, let's all go down to the Green Beetle and have a drink :)
More on the Florida Longhorn Beetles here.

NBA Rookies Top 20 List (Grizzlies have 2 in the Top 10)
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=thorpe_david&page=Rookies-080627
Draft's over. Time to look ahead to the 2008-09 season. Which rookies will have the biggest impact? Who are the Rookie of the Year contenders?
Here's David Thorpe's list of the top 20 rookies:
1. Michael Beasley, PF, Heat
He's a prodigious talent who will be extremely productive in Miami or wherever he ends up. The Heat pride themselves on being a top-notch organization, so if they keep him they will focus heavily on wringing all of Beasley's talents out of him in short order.
2. Greg Oden, C, Trail Blazers
This is based on his playing on two healthy legs, naturally. Out all of last season after microfracture surgery, last year's No. 1 pick becomes the other man-child of this rookie class. Oden is a true force on both ends and will compete with passion and purpose every night.
3. Rudy Fernandez, SG, Trail Blazers
I love players who have been productive in the best leagues in Europe (think Luis Scola and Juan Carlos Navarro). Fernandez is ready to play and has the potential to develop even further.
4. Marc Gasol, C, Grizzlies
Skilled, experienced and full of confidence. Don't discount the effect of having his brother, Pau, in his ear all summer, teaching him the nuances of the NBA.
5. Derrick Rose, PG, Bulls
Let's not forget he is still very young and the Bulls still have Kirk Hinrich, who has lots of talent. Rose is going to be great, but not overnight. Still, he projects to be an All-Rookie performer.
6. Kevin Love, PF, Timberwolves
I know his athleticism and overall physique are in question, but he's too tough, smart and skilled not to be an effective player early on. Thanks to the trade to Minnesota, he should get major minutes. He is a perfect fit (offensively) next to Big Al.
7. O.J. Mayo, SG, Grizzlies
Obviously, a talent like Mayo should rank higher, but Conley and Gay are youngsters who will get lots of minutes. Playing three young players together is a disastrous recipe most of the time, so O.J. may have to wait his turn just for a little bit.
8. Danilo Gallinari, SF, Knicks
Another highly skilled and experienced player from Europe, Gallinari is in a system that perfectly complements his skill set. I get the feeling he'll have a special bond with head coach Mike D'Antoni, a la Steve Nash.
9. Eric Gordon, SG, Clippers
Brilliant shooter/scorer who should get minutes in L.A. He's got a motor and some talent around him that will help his transition.
10. Brandon Rush, SG, Pacers
Has a beautiful outside stroke and is ready to defend -- a perfect fit in Indy. Newly acquired point guard T.J. Ford will get him shots in half-court sets and in transition.
11. Courtney Lee, SG, Magic
Very athletic with polished skills, Lee was drafted by Orlando mainly because he can really defend. He's a classic Stan Van Gundy guy.
12. Russell Westbrook, PG, SuperSonics
He's ready to defend at the next level, but he might struggle to run the Sonics' offense. His heart and character should earn him quality minutes.
13. Jerryd Bayless, PG, Trail Blazers
Should be looked at as a serious scoring option off the bench. He is highly confident and an excellent shot-maker with quickness.
14. Brook Lopez, C, Nets
Big guys who can score using their size, or craftiness, have a place in this league. Lopez can do both.
15. Roy Hibbert, C, Pacers
Highly skilled and smart. And huge, too. Should be able to get minutes on this team and be a half-court option right away.
16. Joe Alexander, SF, Bucks
The league loves athletic energy guys, and Alexander is that and more. His skill game may need work, but his strength and agility will allow him to make a difference from the get-go.
17. Jason Thompson, PF, Kings
The most surprising pick of the draft, Thompson is multitalented and going to a team desperate for help inside. He can shoot, too, which is a must for Kings GM Geoff Petrie.
18. Donte' Greene, SF, Rockets
Pure shooters like Greene can find their way into the rotation. Dropping so low in Round 1 may end up inspiring him to work harder this summer.
19. Chris Douglas-Roberts, SG, Nets
Very solid shooter and scorer who loves to compete when the lights are on. Should be highly motivated after the first-round snub.
20. Nicolas Batum, SF, Trail Blazers
I know that most stat gurus don't like him, but it's not easy to put up big numbers as a 19-year-old in the Euroleague.

Muvico to Close in Peabody Place
I've heard the news before, but today I've read it in two different places.
Supposedly, the Muvico located in Peabody Place is scheduled to close after this weekend.
The rumor is that Belz is going to reposition the Peabody Place Mall, and possibly to create lodging inside of it.
So, if you're like me and have a movie that you've been dying to see, you need to head over quick before it's gone!
