By Barry Tompkins Verified| Marin Independent Journal Verified Isn’t it odd that somehow by losing to the Los Angeles Clippers in the home finale on Sunday, the Golden State Warriors might have put their team in a better position to keep themselves vital in the NBA playoffs? The NBA is 100 percent a league of matchups. And frankly, there are a number of teams that could lie ahead for the Dubs that they simply don’t match up with. The Houston Rockets, however, are not one of them.

By Barry Tompkins Verified| Marin Independent Journal Verified I am of the same belief as the long ago comedian Groucho Marx, who said, “I’d never want to join a club that would have me as a member.”For that reason I’m very happy that Augusta National either never sent me an invitation to join, or it was tragically lost in the mail. I’m quite sure it was the latter. Mind you, when it came to a pecking order for membership in one of the world’s most exclusive golf clubs I was on the list somewhere behind Ted Bundy and Charles Manson.

Marin Independent Journal
THE IJ'S ROOTS in Marin go back to March 23, 1861, just before the Civil War engulfed the United States. The first edition of the weekly Marin County Journal published that day had four pages, printed one at a time on a hand-operated press. In October 1957, the newspaper completed a building in downtown San Rafael that more than doubled the size of its plant. In January 1981, a new chapter began when the IJ moved from downtown San Rafael to southern Novato, just west of Highway 101. In 2010, the IJ was honored by the California Newspaper Publishers Association as the best newspaper of its size in the state. In addition to the award for General Excellence, the IJ also won top honors for Freedom of Information, best Opinion pages and best editorial cartoon. In August 2011, the IJ moved to its current location, near the Marin Civic Center in Terra Linda. Today, the newspaper continues to publish in print, online and via mobile device. This combined reach gives the IJ its largest audience ever.
