Jordan Farmar

Points of interest..first of all, our Lakers other guard, Jordan Farmar, with his 3pt's. baskets, when Derek Fisher sat out, is very likely going to be leaving us. Playing basketball in Woodland Hills, CA for Taft High School, he then went on to play college ball in Westwood.He becomes a restricted free agent at the end of this month. The 6 ft. 2 point guard with the Laker team may well be coming to an end. Farmar has chafed under the Lakers triangle system rather than use the pick-and-roll that most other teams seem to use. It just has not seemed quite a good fit. Farmar was first drafted out of the 26th. overall pick out of UCLA in 2006. His career is at a changing peak right now so we shall wait it out and watch to see just how he handles it. On a far different note, the newspaper gave us something else to think about during our basketball off season. Algae..what all is it really good for? There is actually an algae car! A Prius automobile is using alternative fuel use with being run on algae! It seems we are far too dependent on oil and must begin as a nation to look into future findings to fuel our cars. Already the innovative use of liquefied gas for our city bus fleet and also compressed natural gas use shows our future will not be as dependent on oil to run our auto's. And so, our future is to be far different for many generations to come and of course for our Laker team with alterations happening. Jordan Farmar may go away from us and that change will be hard to take but we wish him well all the same. Babs Wells
