| Rain can't wash out tennis tourney
The Nature Coast Tennis Foundation held its third annual Junior Singles Championship at Delta Woods Park in Spring Hill this past weekend. Weather trouble caused a move from Saturday to Sunday, but the rains held off long enough for the foundation to finish the tournament. With 42 entries, tournament director Louise Downey characterized the turnout as "highly successful." In the High School Girls final, Tamara Bustard defeated Alexa Burns in straight sets for the title, 7-5, 7-5. The High School Boys title was arguably the match of the tournament. Lasting more than two hours, Anthony Carter ousted P.J. Waterson in a final set tiebreaker, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6. In the Middle School divisions, the girls champion was Mallorie Pickersgill, who dominated Kayla Papp in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1.

Many gamers infuriated by required Windows upgrade
DirectX is a collection of tools that facilitate communication between hardware and Microsoft operating systems; all Windows release since 95, and the Xbox and Xbox 360 operating systems, use it. Each DirectX release brings new graphics technologies and performance improvements, ideally leading to increasingly visually compelling software. The arrival of DirectX 10 was much anticipated. Unfortunately, it's also been heavily criticized. DirectX 10 was released as an exclusive for Microsoft's latest desktop OS, Windows Vista, leaving Windows XP (and 2000) users comfortable with their current setup chagrined. .
Here we go...
I know, this is a mortgage blog but it belongs to me and I can write about anything I choose and tonight, I just don't have much to say about the current mortgage market. I have an exam in two weeks and I've been studying all day. I didn't go to work, didn't go to the beach, didn't even get away from my desk for too long. Well, I went to buy groceries but that was about all. Anyway, I have this essay exam that I'm studying for and I think I'm going nuts or something. I'm beginning to think in terms of what I'm learning in economics. For instance, I'm a huge Diet Rockstar fan. It's an energy drink that has replaced water, coffee, tea or any other liquid I normally consume. On any given day I drink about four. There's a limit to the number of days that I can do this though. Here it is... The law of diminishing marginal utility usually kicks in around the fifth day of drinking four a day.

Sources: Dallas Cowboys consider Pacman Jones
On Thursday, Jones again said he wants to play for the Cowboys, on an Atlanta radio station. "I just have to do what I have to do to get back on the field," he said. "Hopefully it won't be long, and hopefully it will be a couple of more months. I would love to play for the Cowboys, America's Team." If the Cowboys acquire Jones, he would join Pro Bowl cornerback Terence Newman and Anthony Henry, who led the team with six interceptions in 2007. Jones would also be a leading candidate to return punts. In 2006, he averaged 12.9 yards per return with three touchdowns. The Cowboys have signed players with troubled pasts before. The team signed nose tackle Tank Johnson last season after he served a suspension for violations of the NFL conduct policy.
Bad blends: biofuel labeling often inaccurate
Biofuel blends may not always be what the label claims. A study at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many smaller distributors could be "splash blending." While sampling blended biodiesel fuels purchased from small-scale retailers, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many of the blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel. Marine chemist Chris Reddy and colleagues sampled pure biodiesel and blends from more than a dozen distributors across the United States. When testing fuels listed as 20 percent biodiesel (commonly known as B20), they found that the actual percentage of biofuel ranged from as little as 10 percent to as much as 74 percent. Only 10 percent of samples met the specifications for biofuel blends required for vehicles of the U.S.
