We witnessed a total team effort and a total team win led by the fearless, wise, composed, magic man himself – hall of fame coach Rick Pitino. His championship team is a mirror reflection of himself. The University of Louisville Cardinals displayed all these key positive elements: hard-working, determination, dedication, selflessness, relentlessness, powerful compassion, smart energetic willingness, enthusiasm, hustle, non quitting, courageous, brave, unwavering belief, and invincible faith in each other. That’s a winning positive, mental attitude; they never gave in and made it happen but laying it all on the line. The Louisville Cardinals demonstrated one of the best runs in the history of the NCAA college basketball tournament. When thinking of positive winners, positive national champions, Louisville’s own world champion Muhammad Ali comes to mind. Now the 2013 NCAA national champion Louisville Cardinals men’s basketball team will always come to mind as the best, the purest, and the most passionate team in NCAA college basketball history.

In this one shining moment they have set a positive standard that will live for the rest of their lives and beyond. No one does it better than the Louisville fighting cardinals, congratulations.! CUT DOWN THE NETS! Stand tall and smile and enjoy this positive celebration. Each one of the 2013 NCAA Men’s champions will forever be legends, role models, and positive leaders.

    The Lane Goodwin Childhood Cancer foundation Benefit Results

    Man, I totally planned on attending/covering this wonderful event for the newspaper, but several days in a row of bad heartburn had me laid low. Next year for sure! I got the lowdown on the show anyway and I’m happy to report that a very good deed was done for some people in need. On Saturday, January 12 the first annual Show A Thumbs Up For Lane Benefit concert was held. This event was created with the combined efforts of the Thumbs Up for Lane Goodwin Childhood Cancer Foundation (Thumbs Up Foundation) along with noNEG101, nonegNix founder Mr. “Positive” Frank Karaglanis. The two organizations came together to put on a great show at Diamond Pub and Billiards in order to help raise money for a great cause – funding to help support the Thumbs Up Foundation. The money raised (over $5000) will be used to help the organization get started so they can be a center for support for parents who have children with cancers. The organization will also raise money to help fund the research for a cure for childhood cancers.

    The show had a great line up of bands that all came together in order to help support this great cause. Bands included Signal the Revolution, Code Red, Chase Allan, Cameron Jayne trio, Two Pump Chump, Zoo Kings, Manfred and Craig Neumann. No matter if you like country, rap, pop or rock, there was something for every one. Not only was there great live music, there was also a silent auction with great items donated from local and national businesses who came together for this great cause.

    People from as far south as Tennessee came up to Louisville for the show. The Goodwin family, George and Angie Goodwin, were also in attendance. People were able eat and drink while enjoying live music at Diamond Pub and Billiards. Band members also enjoyed the night interacting with crowd during their performance or having conversations with the people in attendance. The shows host, Frank Karaglanis, is very grateful for all the support. Special thanks to Lissa Wight who had the vision that triggered the event from idea to reality. Also special thanks to Jennifer Osborne, Joey Brown, Jim Coyle who Emceed the event, Jared Mathews who donated the venue, and all the team lane helpers and all the wonderful bands that contributed to such a great and worthwhile cause.
