Tafara Gapare scored a season-high 19 points off the bench and Derik Queen added 15 points and eight rebounds, lifting Maryland to a 91-67 victory over Bucknell on Wednesday in College Park, Md. Gapare made 7 of 9 shots from the floor -- including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. He highlighted his performance by unleashing a personal 10-point run in the second half to help send the Terrapins (6-1) to their third straight win. Gapare, who made one 3-pointer prior to Wednesday's game, was limited to just three minutes and was held without a point in Maryland's 76-75 victory versus Villanova on Sunday. Julian Reese scored 14 points for the Terrapins, who shot a robust 50.0 percent from the floor and scored 22 points off 20 turnovers. Selton Miguel drained three 3-pointers to score all 13 of his points in the first half. That effort came three days after being held without a point versus Villanova. Bucknell's Ruot Bijiek sank four 3-pointers to highlight his 20-point performance. Josh Bascoe scored 10 points and Brandon McCreesh added nine off the bench for the Bison (4-4), who lost two in a row for the second time this season. Maryland answered Bijiek's layup by scoring 12 straight points to take a 15-2 lead. Miguel keyed the spurt by draining two 3-pointers and a jumper. Bucknell tried to keep pace and trailed 25-12 after McCreesh's layup, but the Terrapins kept their foot on the gas to steadily build a 25-point lead late in the first half. The Bison made a modest charge to begin the second half, trimming the deficit to 16 at 58-42 on Bijiek's fourth 3-pointer of the game. Gapare singlehandedly halted the momentum by sandwiching 3-pointers around a layup and an emphatic dunk over the next five possessions. Reese sank a pair of free throws to cap the 12-0 run, extending Maryland's lead to 70-42 with 11:39 to play. The Terrapins were not threatened the rest of the way. --Field Level MediaVan Nistelrooy’s first game in charge ended with a 3-1 win over West Ham, thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy, Bilal El Khannouss and Patson Daka. The Dutchman, who was out of work for just two weeks following his four-game spell as Manchester United interim boss, only started on Sunday so was happy to end a hectic three days in style. “It has been very busy getting to know everyone, start working together,” he said. “Everybody was involved with that and helping, it was busy, long days, but worth it. I was focused on the game and what the game needed, the subs, the half-time talk, so focused on the moment, so I am going to get myself a little beer and reflect on the last three days.” He endured a dream start as Vardy scored after just 98 seconds with El Khannouss and Daka adding second-half goals. It was by no means one-way traffic, though, as West Ham – who scored a consolation through Niclas Fullkrug at the death – had 30 shots on goal. But Van Nistelrooy saw enough to think he can deliver on his objective of keeping the Foxes in the Premier League. “I am very happy, if you look at the result – and it is about the result – it was a great night, three points, three good goals and also very effective.

I saw that completely with every single player that started and came on. “That’s the foundation we have to build on, without that it will be impossible to get where we want to go. I am very happy about that.” West Ham’s hierarchy will have seen what impact a managerial change can have as the jury remains out on Julen Lopetegui, with away fans making their feelings clear by chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. Lopetegui expects to keep his job but forthcoming games against his former club Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton could determine the Spaniard’s future. “The only thing that I am worried about is to go to training session tomorrow and stand up the players and prepare the next challenge,” he said. “We have one month of December with a lot of matches and I am sure with this attitude we are going to achieve many more points. “I believe in the players. I am confident that tomorrow we are going to be ready to prepare the next match. “Understanding the question, but at the end of the season maybe we talk in another way. There are a lot of matches and points, a lot of things can happen. “I believe in these players and team, I am sure the position is going to be much better. They are only words but we have to work a lot to achieve this.”fishing diver 。

No I’m not talking about the ATMs you see at every bank or most places of business. The ATM I’m talking about is a hard-working, people-caring, compassionate and humble leader in our village that we often take for granted until we face difficulties, need assistance, or someone to ask a favor from. It is then that we go to the ATM machine: Ask The Mayor! If you think about it, they are literally human machines. Every one of us have been impacted somehow, someway by our mayors and vice mayors at some point in our lives. Of all our political leaders, the ATMs are probably the most accessible, personable, and never have a limit on what you can get out from them. We see them everywhere. They do everything whether asked or not asked. They are on 24/7. They are like the ever-ready battery. They keep going and going. They are in fact the first line and front line individuals we go to. ATMs: What would we do without them! Today, I want to honor those who have put in countless days and nights working for us and with us but are now ready to give whatever they have left in them to give back to their own families. They chose to retire and give someone else an opportunity to become an ATM. Mayor Paul M. McDonald of Agana Heights has served 34 years. Mayor Melissa B. Savares of Dededo has served 24 years including as vice mayor. Mayor John A. Cruz of Hagåtña has served 20 years. Mayor Ernest T. Chargualaf of Malesso’ served 16 years. Mayor Dale E. Alvarez of Sånta Rita-Sumai served 16 years. Mayor Jessy C. Gogue of Ordot-Chalan Pago served 16 years. Vice Mayor Kevin AN Delgado of Mangilao served 4 years. Mayor Anthony Sanchez of Yigo, Mayor William Quenga of Yona and Vice Mayor Loreto Leones of Yigo all ran for reelection but were unsuccessful in their quest. Nonetheless, I honor them too. ATMs: What would we do without them! Mayor McDonald over the years has lost an eye and even a leg but never slowed him down. He upgraded and enhanced Tutujan Triangle Park and their gymnasium and ballpark. Mayor Savares continued the legacy of her grandfather, former Commissioner Vicente S.A. Benavente and was even hit by a vehicle performing one of her many challenges in the village. She was instrumental in opening a new location for the Dededo Flea Market and the farmer’s market and always had the unfair disadvantage of sharing funds equally amongst all villages even though Dededo had the highest population of residents. Mayor John always made sure that the day of Santa Marian Kamalen he can have thousand of residents come and honor our patron saint but to also walk the streets of a clean Hagåtña. He always claims that during the weekdays he has over a thousand residents (GovGuam workers from other villages) and less than 400 on weekends. Every other mayor wants to be the mayor of Hagåtña, our capital. Mayor Ernest continued the legacy of his dad, former Commissioner Francisco C. Chargualaf and now has a gymnasium built under his tenure. He also led the successful Crab Festival and Gupot CHamoru. Mayor Dale promoted sports in his village and played a major role in supporting his senior citizens. Mayor Jessy leaves a great Christmas gift to his residents with a new mayor’s office and community center and the acquisition of the Jose Atoigue Ball Park for more enhancement. Vice Mayor Kevin loved his generation and all the youth he mentored to become productive young citizens. They are all retiring after so many years of service, blood, sweat, and tears. Not to mention, they were “broke” at times. But they served with dedication, distinction and humility. I honor them today. You should too! Believe you me, we will still look at them and say, ATM! ATMs: What would we do without them. But the work continues in the hands of those that were reelected and in the election of newest crop of public servants. You already know what ATM means. For the new ones, you will soon find out! Si Yu’os in fan binindisi! God bless you!
