Dear Holden,

I met with Jeremy Woodlee yesterday afternoon and he told me he thought you were a really good fit for the Real Estate Managing Editor/Producer position. He thought with your editorial background and progressing into the online world would make for a good match with our culture and this position.

Again this position will report directly to Meredith Artley who is the Executive Editor for Latimes.com (Latimes Interactive) and will be the Managing Editor/Producer for the Real Estate vertical.

This position would require you to relocate to our offices here in Los Angeles. I have relocated quite a few people in my career and people that never really thought about relocating. Based on the opportunity and after more chats with our team they decided it was the right move to make.

I know its a big commitment, so what I am looking for is not necessarily will you relocate today. But is there anything that would prevent you from relocating if and when an offer was made and is this the type of opportunity you are looking for in order to make a move from your current situation?

Depending on how you answer those questions, the next steps will be to do a phone conference with Meredith Artley Executive Editor (who you would report to), and Sean Gallagher.

Also let me know if Friday 6:00PM EST works for you in reference to a phone chat with me.

Dear all,

This week was an exciting week of Novice Fans League football. We had a high of 237 Fantasy Points by PAC-10 Rules, and a single player position (WR) by BruinOneders with 90 points. If any of you have ever played the NFL Fantasy Football you will know these type of numbers are non-existent, but with the points being tallied based on positions and not on individual players this is going to be a reality every week. Which means every week will be competitive.

Here are this weeks final scores and the winners for the week of 09/22:

dk
166.25 vs Da LBC 141.25
Winner: Dakotta Alex (dk)

BruinOneders
202 vs JamaicaQT's Quest 4 Glory 166
Winner: Randy Powell (BruinOneders)

Buckeyeboy71
165 vs roseboundbears 156.75
Winner:
Chai Cai (Buckeyeboy71)

PAC-10 Rules
237 vs BruinsRock 197.5
Winner
: Doug Yamaguchi (PAC-10 Rules)

For those of you who have a percentage point after your score ie: .25, .5 , .75 that is because you have a college team that played a non-division 1-A team. This week that occured for those of you who have Hawaii or Missouri.

The way that is calculated is the following example:
If a Division 1-A team is playing a non-division 1-A team, the division 1-A team will only receive 75% of its actual points. For instance, in week 1 Maryland, who is a division 1-A team is playing Villanova, who is a non-division 1-A team. If you start the Maryland RB unit, and they score 32 points, your fantasy team will be awarded 24 points.

On a final note to those of us who were defeated this week. Remember winning this league is all based on Fantasy Points. It doesn't matter if the particular school you have wins or loses their particular game, its all about the Fantasy Points. You can click on each schools position and you will see a graph of the Fantasy Points they accumulated for that week. Also peruse the Free Agents that are available which can be found on your home page under the players tab.

Good luck to everyone this week and see you all on the field virtually speaking.
