Manuel Llorente fired Athletic Bilbao into the Europa League final with an 88th-minute strike as his side overturned a first-leg deficit to see off Sporting Lisbon 3-1 at the Estadio San Mames.

Marcelo Bielsas men, who accounted for Manchester United early in the competition, looked set to take the tie into extra-time after goals from Markel Susaete and Gomez Ibai sandwiched a strike from Rene van Wolfswinkel.

But with the score at 2-1 to Athletic on the night and 3-3 on aggregate, Llorente lashed a right-foot shot into the corner of the net from an Ibai cross to seal the home sides passage into the final where they will meet fellow Spaniards Atletico Madrid.

Conscious that an early...

While his presentation concerned of up-to-the-minute technology, Tom Rich gave timeless advice. Rich said parents have to be involved in their children’s lives. He said children should be confident about themselves and nice to others. And he said everyone needs to be careful with your choices because their actions can effect your environment, positively and negatively.

In his hour-long talk at Dayton, Rich said that while new technologies are changing relationships, the underlying facts are the same. He did not advocate for children to stop using Facebook or iPhones or for parents to withhold such devices until their 18th birthday. Instead, he urged caution and sensitivity.

Perhaps if Cuban would have sent Odom home after his All-Star break personal leave, he might have felt differently. But with just nine games left when Cuban finally banished Odom after their locker-room confrontation during halftime of Saturdays game at Memphis, Cuban said its just not worth it.

I could, but Im not going to, Cuban said. Theres all kinds of things I could do, but Im not going to.

Cuban will hope to trade him by June 29 so that the Mavs 2012-13 payroll wont be burdened with the $2.4 million guaranteed on the final year of Odoms contract.

The full amount of Odoms final year is $8.2 million and even he surely knows that he will never see such a dollar figure...
