CYBERSPORTS A CINDERELLA STORY, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM.


Byline: - Tom Hoffarth

We don't know Don't know (DK, DKed)

At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S).  who was fired recently, for using verbatim quotes from the movie ``Caddyshack'' while embellishing his story about a local golf tournament, has bookmarked the Carl Spackler Web site.

, as long as we know what we're dealing with here, the site (www.carlspackler.com) will continue to be just a small source of amusement and something to refer to when we want to authenticate a Bill Murray line.

. The amazing stuff about this, is you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on the stuff.''

Deja vu. That speech - delivered by Murray in the original 1980 movie - as well as many others, is on the ``quote-unquote'' link at the site. So too are plenty of stored images, sound bites, video, trivia and an interactive quiz to test your knowledge.

--Those who might have missed the U.S. Futsal Federation's 18th annual national championships this past weekend in Anaheim can keep up with future happenings at the Berkeley-based group's official Web site (www.futsal.com).

Futsal is an international form of indoor soccer, with five on a side, a low-bouncing ball and a basketball-sized playing area without walls that forces the players to use more pinpoint passing and ballhandling than outdoor soccer. It is scheduled to be an Olympic sport in 2008.

Information about youth and adult leagues, camps and clinics in this region also can be found at the Southern California Futsal site (www.scfutsal.com).

Prostate cancer is the leading malignancy in men in the United States and is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in men.  Charity in the United Kingdom, those flushed with embarrassment by finding themselves on the official Web site of the International Peeball Federation (www.peeball.com) should at least realize there is some good being done here.

The official biodegradable equipment used by those in sanctioned competitions is available under the shop link, but must be ordered overseas. There's also a place to compete online, but we'd suggest doing so with your trousers firmly secured.
