RALEIGH — N.C. State needed a night like this, a chance to escape current frustrations and a reason to celebrate greatness.
There was Tommy Burleson on the floor of Reynolds Coliseum, one more time. There was Torry Holt on campus, one more time for the N.C. State Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday night.
The futility of the current football season and Wednesday's basketball loss were merely a rumor. There was no time for the problems of the present, only a night to relive past glory.
"An event like tonight kind of puts things to the side a little bit and celebrates those who have meant a lot to the university," said Holt, an All-American receiver for the Wolfpack in 1998.
"I wish it could go on for two or three weeks, but it's only one night."
The Old Barn, which will undergo a $35 million facelift in 2015, was gussied up for the formal ceremony of more than 900 people to honor the school's second hall-of-fame class.
Holt and Burleson were joined by six other athletes and two coaches. Mike Caldwell (baseball), Andrea Stinson (basketball), the late Ronnie Shavlik (basketball) Steve Gregg (swimming), Betty Springs Geiger (cross country, track and field) and Sylvester Terkay (wrestling) were inducted for their accomplishments.
The late Norm Sloan, who led the Wolfpack basketball team to the 1974 national title, and the late Earle Edwards, the winningest football coach in school history, joined the class.
Each inductee was honored with a video of their career highlights and accomplishments. Burleson, who starred with the incomparable David Thompson on the '74 title team, was delighted to be remembered as a winner, and to go in to the hall with his coach.
"To be remembered as a positive influence on your university, it's a wonderful privilege and a great honor," Burleson said.
Burleson added a moment of levity to the proceedings on Friday when he strode on stage, with his 7-foot-2 frame, to accept his hall-of-fame medal. Burleson took a knee in front of chancellor Randy Woodson so he could put the medal around Burleson's neck.
The night back at N.C. State brought back a plethora of memories for Holt, who finished his career as the ACC's career leader in receiving yards (3,379) and still holds the school record for catches and touchdown receptions.
Holt led the Wolfpack to a 24-7 upset of second-ranked Florida State in 1998 at Carter-Finley Stadium. More than any detail from the game, Holt remembers what happened afterward.
"People were leaving their homes to come to the stadium to be a part of the celebration," Holt said. "That was something special."
Holt, who lives in Raleigh and is still close to the program, said he was hopeful the Wolfpack would end its losing streak in Saturday's game against East Carolina.
"We'll enjoy tonight, hopefully the guys will come out tomorrow and play well and play hard and give us something else to be excited about with a win," Holt said.
N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow also encouraged the crowd to stay patient with the current Wolfpack teams.
"This is not in the script but you hang with us in football and men's basketball," Yow said.

Valpo Men Drop Exhibition Opener
Wednesday, August 20, 2003The Valparaiso men's soccer team opened the preseason portion of their schedule on Wednesday evening, falling to Bethel (Ind.) 4-1 at Eastgate Field.
Rafael Perez put the visiting Pilots in front at the 29:00 mark from about 30 yards out on a free kick. He added his second of three tallies ten minutes later as Bethel took a 2-0 lead into intermission.
Josh Noland added to the advantage at the 58:11 mark beating backup goalkeeper Sean McGinnis (Barrington, Ill./Barrington H.S.) from about ten yards out.
Mark Korba (Portage, Ind./Portage H.S.) scored the Crusaders lone tally at 60:50 going top shelf from about 15 yards away after taking a pass from Adam Newell (Indianapolis, Ind./Center Grove H.S.). Perez completed his hat trick just 35 seconds later to complete the scoring.
Jeff Oleck (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral H.S.) played the first half in goal for the Brown and Gold, while McGinnis played period two, with each making two saves.
Valpo outshot Bethel 17-15 for the match, but the Pilots held an 8-6 advantage on net.
The Crusaders will play their second of three exhibition matches on Friday afternoon when they host Northwestern beginning at 5 p.m.

October is "Breast Cancer Awareness Month". A month set aside every year to increase awareness of the disease, pray for those who are fighting the disease and their families, and remember those loved ones who have left us when their battle was over. Most of us have been touched by breast cancer somehow –a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a friend, a daughter. My personal experience began as a child when I lost my grandmother to breast cancer after an eight year long battle. I will always remember what a strong woman she was. Unfortunately, she did not have available to her all the advanced treatments we have today.
Among women, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer. Statistics show that 12.2% of American females will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their life – this means that if eight women were to live to be at least 85, one of them would be expected to develop the disease at some point during her life. Two-thirds of women with breast cancer are over 50, and most of the rest are between 39 and 49. Men can get breast cancer, too, but they account for one percent of all breast cancer cases. Despite these statistics, there are more than 2 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., and developments in medications and treatments, as well as early detection is a big reason for that success. Breast cancer is very treatable if detected early.
While drug therapies have advanced and allowed for survival rates of breast cancer that we have never seen before, there are also several supplements and other alternative therapies that physicians have employed in the treatment of breast cancer. Some of these supplements may support the immune system.
Risk Factors for Breast Cancer
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of getting a disease. However, having a cancer risk factor, or even several of them, does not necessarily mean that a person will get cancer.
- Previous history – previous history of breast cancer
- Getting older – Your risk for breast cancer increases as you age.
- Family history – breast cancer in a mother, sister, or daughter ("first-degree" relative). Distant family history such as an aunt or grandmother is considered a risk factor, but to a lesser extent.
- Genetics – certain breast cancer genes called BRCA1 or BRCA2.
- Sedentary lifestyle – Exercise more than 4 hours per week is associated with 30-40% risk reduction
- Obesity – being overweight (especially in the waist), with excess caloric and fat intake, increases your risk, especially after menopause.
- Breast lesions or abnormal breast biopsy
- Age at childbirth – birth of first child after age 35 or never having children.
- Early menstruation – first period before age 12.
- Late menopause – if you begin menopause after age 55, your risk increases.
- Excessive radiation
- Other cancer in the family – family history of cancer of the ovaries, cervix, uterus, or colon increases your risk.
- Excessive alcohol – Those who have 2 to 5 drinks daily have about 1.5 times the risk.
- Race – caucasian women are at a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than are African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American women. The exception to this is African-American women, who are more likely to have breast cancer than whites under the age of 40.
- Heritage – female descendents of Eastern and Central European Jews (Ashkenazi) are at increased risk.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) – Long-term use of combined estrogen and progesterone increases the risk of breast cancer.
One tool that is available to women who want to assess their relative risk for breast cancer is the Gail model that was designed by the National Cancer Institute and National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project. This survey is located athttp://www.cancer.gov/bcrisktool/
The American Cancer Society recommends the following screening guidelines:
- Mammograms yearly starting at 40 and continuing through life time
- Breast self-exam starting monthly at age 20
- Clinical breast exam yearly starting at age 20
Women with breast cancer are perhaps some of the strongest people there are. These are women who typically are mothers or grandmothers, caretakers of their family, and despite an illness that takes all their strength to fight, they continue to also take care of their families and make it all happen. So to those women who are fighting this disease, "may God bless you and give you the strength to fight and survive, and thank you for all you do for those around you".
Yours Faithfully and Wishing You Good Health,

The Reem a documentary following Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem
The Reem Episode 9 "Back To Business"
Alistair VS Cain would be an awesome match. They have to be 1 and 2 in the HWT division. I am a Fedor fan but with his loss and him getting old, he is no longer in the top 2. Brock has no stand-up and his cardio is very questionable. Carwin, his cardio is even worse than Brock's. I don't know how many more fights he is under contract for with Dream/Strikeforce but hopefully we will see him fight Barnett. Fedor and Werdum don't want to fight him and neither would stand a chance if they did. Barnett will lose to but I would rather see that fight than one with AO versus Fedor or Werdum. I hope that he then makes the jump to the UFC.
All of a sudden Brock has no Cardio and his stand up is no good? He beat beat everyone that ws put in front of him and became champion. Remember he lost against Cain Velasquez who is the best right now. Brock didnt lose against a nobody.
Brock has Stand-Up as you can see from his bout with Herring.
I cannot see Cain defeating Overeem, who's experience in MMA is incredible, a true Journeyman that has trained and fought all over the world, but he's also past his prime and if the UFC want his best, they need to sign him ASAP.
MMA Maniac, when you say Brock didn't lose against a nobody, are you refering to Cain or Mir?
Brock has great conditioning, but he really doesn't have good hands. He can hit very hard, but it is really just that one hit power.
MMA Maniac….correction he lost to Frank Mir and Cain just whipped his ass from start to finish. Also his stand up does suck, he just has power. Cain and Carwin exposed Brock.
overeem has not really beat anyone in the hw devision to give him the 1 or 2 spot, he might be that good but has not proved it. he lost to werdum before so i would not say he has no chance and overeem has a questionable chin so i could see fedor knocking him out, barnett would give him a great fight.
The odd thing about that is that Overeem who is the Strike Force HW Champion has challenged Fedor twice now, and twice Fedor has turned down the fight. Overeem cannot seem to get any of the Strike Force HW's to fight him, so he's been taking on Dream HW's.
If the Strike Force HW's continue to duck him, he'll need to make the jump to UFC. It's not really a Title when the other fighters in that division have the option of not competing for the belt.
Yes that's true, but Fedor's camp (as twisted as it is) would rather wait for Werdum to heal from an injury and face him in order to avenge his single defeat than face Overeem for the title. It's wrong in every way but it is what it is.
There are other good HW matchups for the Champion now in Strike Force, we just don't know what Coker is waiting for.
That is one of the really lame things about that league.

Diner Reviews
A corner of Paris in the heart of
San Francisco. Small with the atmosphere of France. Friendly, competent servers who don't try to be one's new best friend. I am addicted to the duck confit, the best I have ever had in many experiences in the U.S.,but I am assured by friends that the other dishes are equally excellent. The sight of roasting chickens on the spit is enough to make anyone's mouth water."

This place was a last minute pick
up after our schedule got pushed back and we had to cancel dinner at a different spot. It was well worth the later reservation - the food was excellent, atmosphere was very energetic, and the service was great. I was very pleased with my Sea Bass and the wine list was great!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
it was a beautiful warm san
francisco evening so sitting near the front, which is completely open to the street, added to the comfortable feeling. everything was delicious... but the hors d' oeuvre's were killer. i'd come back and sit at the bar just to have the cantal cheese churros (amazing) and the butter lettuce salad. toss in a banana creme brûlée and call it a night!"

Wonderful little neighborhood
eatery---very charming!---true french cuisine--with all the classics and some creative dishes with a twist as well. Chicken and sauces--superb! the cocottes are excellent! Everything from the bread to the desserts were wonderful and service very friendly personable and knowledgable. Many dishes to share. Highly recommend."

Loves the food. Ambiance and
service was good too. The only problem we have is finding a parking spot. We had to park all the way to Polk street.. 4 blocks away from cocotte."
Dined on 7/20/2014
We liked the food and overall
ambiance here, but the service is just as bad, if not worse, than many of the poor reviews say it is. After we were seated, it took 20 minutes for our waiter to even stop by our table, and the rest of the evening it was nearly impossible to get his attention to ask for more water, another glass of wine, or the check. The only time he took any interest in us was when he asked us to move to another table to accommodate a larger party. At that point he promised a free glass of champagne that never materialized. The only redeeming part of the evening was that the food was good and reasonably priced, but that's easy to find in SF, so I doubt we'll be going back."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Very cute, cozy French restaurant.
The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was very nice. The kitchen is open, and although that added a nice touch to the ambiance because the restaurant is so small it made everything very loud. We often had to shout and repeat ourselves to be heard over the noisy kitchen and so many people packed into a small restaurant. I started with the tomato heirloom salad, which was really good. The coq au vin was fantastic... Very flavorful and well cooked. Beef Wellington was one of the best I've had, although a tad dry. The banana creme brûlée is a MUST HAVE. The flavors and textures were spot on. The perfect way to end a great meal. We will certainly be back!"

We selected this place to
celebrate the engagement day of my great nephew. The following was our evening: 1- although informed when booking, the restaurant did not even say congratulations (much less offer anything), 2- food came we had not ordered, 3- dishes were tepid and had to be rewarmed, 4- one of us was served the chicken 10 minutes after everyone else- no explanation, no apology, 5- the duck confit entree was so tough it was inedible, and finally, 6- we were charged for the duck confit, never asked if we wanted something else, told that the problem was we did not have a sharp enough knife, and, to top it off- the waiter threatened to quit his job if the duck confit was removed from the bill! He is still employed because it wasn't."

We brought some out of towners
here for dinner and had an amazing time. Everyone got the half chicken and their own cocotte and as usual it was delicious. The seasonal squash ratatouille cocotte was better than any others I've tried (potato gratin, cauliflower gratin, fries, peas & carrots with pesto, etc). I would go back just to order that. Anyway the table loved the wine we ordered and the service was great - cozy, homey, and just really great food"

We went there for my wife's B-day.
Arrived early and they seated us immediately. I had put in the open table that it was my wife's B-day and would like a table that was against the wall and relatively secluded. Well, they gave us the lovers closet that has been converted into a intimate little dining nook. Best chairs, lovely lamp and curtains drawn back. The best seats in the place. Food was out of this world. All wait staff was fun and friendly. They wished my wife Happy B-day as soon as I came in and gave my name. Had a great time. Music was a bit loud but makes it intimate for conversation, since no one can hear what you are saying except who you are dining with. Parking could be tough. Got a spot right in front though, very lucky. Go!"

They gave me a special table just
as I had asked. It was very pleasant and the maître d' as well as waiters took time and were attentive. The food was good. The crème brûlée at the end however was not kept in the oven long enough to warm so itg came quite cool. A modest oversight. I would go back again many times"

Great roasted chicken and spices.
Side dishes wonderful hot and tasty.....service fair but food is so good it doesn't matter. Waiter was a winemaker selling his wine to the table next to us...kind of distracting as his voice was rather loud. He sold his wine to them , a case, on the side...we were waiting for the candy and flower people to try to,sell us something. The restaurant is so good they need to tell this guy to either tone it down, or market his personal wine elsewhere."
Dined on 7/5/2014
After all of the great reviews, we
were really looking forward to dining here. While the space reminded us of restaurants we have enjoyed in France, we were really disappointed with the food, which was nothing like what we've enjoyed in France. Nothing was awful but nothing stood out either. We began with the pardon peppers and the soup. The peppers were fine but the soup was salty. The duck confit was just ok. We also tried a couple of the cocottes and both were under seasoned and just ok."
Dined on 7/2/2014
I liked this place, but with all
the outstanding choices in SF, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return. It has a good, fairly priced selection of French wine. The cocotte side dishes are all good (and rather rich), but you can't really have just cocottes as a meal, they are not meant to be "small plates". The main courses were good but a little pricey. If you like beef wellington, try this one. They sous vide their beef wellington before putting the crust on it, so it looks VERY pink, but is cooked."

bass! Will go back regularly just for the chicken liver pate !"

We were early for our reservation
and had a glass of wine at the bar. Our seating was a delayed but I can't blame them. Our table was so cozy, I didn't want to leave either! We got a table for 2 tucked in a secluded corner that had a velvet curtain we could draw for extra privacy. Once we were seated, we may have been forgotten about. We weren't approached for about 15-20 minutes but we had our drinks from the bar and our cozy nook so we were fine with that. The roasted chicken was crispy skinned, yet juicy and succulent. The eggplant and squash ragout was savory and comforting. The peas and carrot cocotte was divine! Loved every bite. The wine selection was lovely too. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert. We'll definitely be back!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
We skipped the starters and went
straight to entrees- rotisserie chicken and the butcher's cut, which was a bavette steak. For cocottes, we went with English peas and carrots, cauliflower gratin, and frites. Everything was delicious, and we finished with a tart tatine that was heavy on the apples and light on pastry served with creme fraiche."
Dined on 6/26/2014
A very nice restaurant that is
cherished by the Russian Hill neighborhood. Some traditional French dishes (Coq au Vin, Escargot) but also a sense of adventure in others. We had a wonderful "wild" mushroom soup, an asparagus salad with pork belly, Salmon with summer squash and a Fettucine with Rabbit & Mustard Ragu....all dishes done excellantly. Our waiter/host Yuri was great as was all his staff. Our reserved table was available to us as soon as we walked in. Parking can be difficult on Russian Hill so plan accordingly or be prepared to park 1.5 blocks away at the Jug Shop @ Polk & Pacific."
Dined on 6/24/2014
Everything there is delicious -
the chopped liver appetizer, the roast chicken, the salmon - I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order. They have a very nice wine list, also. The service is great; they are so accommodating, and make well behaved children feel very welcome."

We love this restaurant and have

This place is a heartbreaker. So
close to a 'go-to' spot but not there. The ambience (smart venue, limited light with candles, gypsy kings grooving in the background) had my wife boogieing throughout the meal. I had to coq au vin, which was delightful but the cut was weird with lots of bones. My wife had beef wellington which was a disappointment. The meat was tough (not tenderloin) with minimal flavor and duxelles in the wrap. Portions were small but adequate. The wait staff was friendly. The menu is small which fits the size of the restaurant. My suggestion is to keep the coq au vin but adjust the cut of the chicken in a more conventional style, drop the beef wellington in favor of something like steak dianne. Focus on flavor and sauces."
Dined on 6/19/2014
I was really disappointed with
cocotte. We had friends in town so wanted a place to show off how good the food is in the City. Instead we got uncooked/greasy beignets twice - took it back once and ate the bad beignets anyway , rabbit tagliatelle that had no rabbit and chocolate molten cake that wasn't molten and tasted like the fridge. Our friends peach dessert also tasted old. When we got the bill, they didn't take off the uncooked beignets and charged us an extra dessert. Service was forgetful as well. Maybe not a good place for Sunday night."

Initial greeting was fine, tables
too close together, waiter did not do an adequate job of explaining the menu, noise level was very high, food was OK but not superb."

Dining at Cocotte feels like
taking a trip to a small neighborhood bistro in Paris. We chose from the fixed price menu for the early June Dine About Town event. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were all very good although my dining companion thought the pork shank was a bit too salty. I like that the menu is not simply the classic and predictable bistro fare, but more imaginative and varied. The service overall was very good except we waited a very long time between the appetizer and the entree which was not a problem for us, but could be for someone else. I plan on dining there again."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Well, it is noisy, there is no
doubt about it, with a lot of the noise coming from the open kitchen. And for some reason, they play loud music with a beat, too. And the service is perfunctory. And the wine is pricey. But, still the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. The lobster salad was excellent, as was the cauliflower soup, but the rabbit pappardelle did not reach the same standard. Despite its drawbacks, I still might go back."
Dined on 6/14/2014
We went during Dine About Town.
They know how to do DAT right! They had great selections on the Prix Fixe menu. Unlike some places that just don't get the concept and put their cheapest items on there, which is often not very good. The idea is to make you want to return. Cocotte did it right. The food was great, the atmosphere was cozy and the service was excellent. We'll be back."
Dined on 6/14/2014
We live in the area and thought
we'd give the restaurant a try with the Dine About Town. The host was super nice and friendly but our waiter was also the bartender and you could tell that he wanted to push the wine and catered to the bar more than the sit down customers. The food also wasn't spectacular. The clams were good but the duck confit was very dry. The banana creme brûlée was not bad but is served cold, yet took 15 min to be served. My husband had the salmon which was plain, nothing special and his pork belly appetizer was weird. He got the apple tart which was extremely sweet who drenched in syrup. It was super loud and noisy in the small restaurant, you have to yell. We both agree that we won't be coming back here."
Dined on 6/13/2014
The staff was very nice and
attentive but the noise level was so bad we had trouble having a conversation. The food was mediocre and the prices steep for what we got."

I was here with a friend from out
of town, and we came for Dine about Town. The options were amazing, and the food was divine. It was well prepared and presented. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend!"
Dined on 6/11/2014
The host was very courteous and
attentive, the server just took the drink order and food order, he came back with the drinks forgot to bring ice so I had to asked the busser to get it for me and more water then the server never came back to our table to check how we were doing, dessert came the server brought the silverware and at the end I asked for change and He said they did not have any change. Bad service."
Dined on 6/8/2014
We enjoyed this neighborhood find.
The server was great but overwhelmed by the number of patrons he had to serve. Food was good but the duck tasted like it was previously cooked then warmed up before it was presented. The unfortunate aspect was the noise level was close to unbearable. Maybe that's the price of success. Might ditch the rock music and use Edith Piaf, Michelle Legrand, Chevalier, Montand, et.al."
Dined on 6/5/2014
I came after I've been waiting all
week to eat their beef Wellington. I had to ask for water and bread when everyone else got theirs automatically. I was surprising my girlfriend with this meal and just pointed out to the waiter that I wanted and I told him "I'm ordering for her tonight that's why we only have one menu". He smiled and told us what we order. ( no surprise beef Wellington for her). We had the duck platter 10 out of 10. Lobster salat 1-10 (ice cold) They forgot my beef, didnt tell btw reheated my sides in the microwave, finally 15 min later I got my beef and NO MUSHROOMS, beef Wellington is meat and mushrooms. So I gave up on this place "
Dined on 6/4/2014
Arguably one of the best picks
available for Dining Around Town (i.e. restaurant week) - everything from the service, to the food was 5 stars!"
Dined on 6/4/2014
The roast chicken is moist and
flavorful. It is never overcooked. This restaurant is very busy. Their is a problem with too many selfish people lingering and chatting away while those with reservations wait to be seated. To Cocotte's credit, they do not rush diners out, nor should they. I hope that a bit of situational awareness can set in and diners will finish and leave. Let's have a little more lass, shall we?"
Dined on 5/31/2014
The food was great, but the
service left something to be desired. The servers only pay attention to your table if you order at least two bottles of wine. It took close to 30 minutes to get anyone's attention to get the check while the only thing on our table was water. They never offered to grab us another glass of wine or even bring us a dessert menu. I would have stayed and ordered more food/drinks because the food was great, but I was worried that our dinner would have taken us over 3 hours if we asked for anything more. Really disappointed in the restaurant especially because I live so close to it and would have come back for seconds. I sadly don't think I will go back there :("
Dined on 5/27/2014
Nice little neighborhood spot,
good food and service."
Dined on 5/25/2014
Food was crazy good. Service was
fantastic. Only downside is it's a Russian Hill restaurant, so it's a bit on the small side."
Dined on 5/24/2014
Great to split a half-chicken and
some sides. A bit busy for the staff, waited a bit longer for the check afterwards. Great food and great prices. I'll be coming back here again. "

We remember when there was actually a glimmer of hope that the quarreling between these two may end -- man, was that a long time ago. Anyways, the International Trade Commission has reportedly upheld a judge's ruling made back in December which affirmed that Nokia did not violate Qualcomm patents. As expected, the latter firm expressed its utmost disappointment in the decision, and is already considering yet another appeal process. Then again, we may actually be a little sad if it didn't.

This was so good I almost ate half of it before dinner was even served. Don't be fooled by its simplicity, and don't leave out the fennel seed, as it really complements the flavour of the black-eyed peas and the spinach. I only had whole fennel seeds so I used those. The only change I would make is to cook the whole dish over the stove as I don't see the point of transferring it to another dish just to finish it in the oven.
This is very good, but I used a 14.5 oz can of tomatoes instead and added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning to give it more flavor. I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and my uncle kept going on and on about how much he loved it; he ate more of this than anything else, even the turkey! It travels really well and looks very pretty and colorful. The red and green might be fun at a Christmas dinner! BTW, I used frozen spinach, thawed and drained, and it was still very good.
I cooked my beans in a crock pot for a few hours, ground the fennel seed in my Bullet... the fennel gave this meal just the right flavor. I loved this healthy meal and will definitely make it again and again.

Few players in history left a greater impact on baseball than Tommy John.
And he did so through his performance on the field.
The game would look far different in the 21st century if not for his exploits decades ago. Pitching stars Kerry Wood, John Smoltz, Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright and Stephen Strasburg owe their extended careers to the guts and talent John displayed from 1976 to 1989. In fact, one-third of the pitchers in the major leagues today — 124 out of 360 active at the outset of the 2013 season, according to research by Bleacher Report — followed the trail John blazed.
All of those pitchers had their sore arms and careers revived though "Tommy John surgery."
It bears his name not merely because he volunteered for the experimental elbow surgery, performed by Dr. Frank Jobe on Sept. 25, 1974. Indeed, it took courage for John to submit to the first-of-its-kind procedure in which Jobe replaced the blown-out ulnar collateral ligament in the lefthander's pitching arm with a healthy ligament harvested from his right arm. The personal stakes were high. Pitchers' elbows are like pianists' fingers — essential, priceless. If the operation failed, John's playing days would likely be over at age 31. Likewise, barring some other revolutionary medical remedy, Wood, Smoltz, Carpenter, Wainwright, Strasburg and hundreds of other pitchers would either have to throw in pain or quit.
The term "Tommy John surgery" would not exist.
Instead, it's become part of baseball vocabulary because of John's play afterward.
He pitched so well, for so, so long, doubts about the surgery's effectiveness disappeared. He validated it. He played like a Hall of Famer.
The surgery is famous because of John, not vice versa. He deserves a plaque in Cooperstown.
That quaint town in the central New York countryside harbors the game's fabled shrine, the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Plaques for its 300 inductees hang on its walls — 208 former major leaguers, 35 Negro League players, 28 executives, 19 managers and 10 umps. Hall voters (members of the Baseball Writers Association of America) passed over John all 15 years he was eligible in the general balloting. The Veterans Committee (a panel of Hall of Famers assembled to reconsider overlooked players) turned John down, too, in 2010.
This year offers a chance to rectify the situation. The Veterans Committee focuses on different eras, using a three-year rotation. In 2013 (like 2010), they'll study players from the Expansion Era (those making their greatest contributions after 1973). By Nov. 4, they'll announce 12 nominees. John should be on that list again. A month later, the Veterans Committee will reveal any new inductees.
John, now 70, has earned that call from the Hall. His hometown of Terre Haute, understandably, believes that. The city is dedicating Tommy John Field in his honor at Spencer F. Ball Park, where he played his last high school game, on Oct. 24, followed by a fundraising dinner in the Indiana Theatre downtown. All proceeds from the dinner, which includes a sports-related silent auction, will go toward improving the field at the ball park.
The gesture is fitting and overdue.
Meanwhile, the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee should analyze John's case from a fresh perspective. Instead of comparing his statistics (Hall-worthy as they are) against other possible inductees such as Ron Guidry, Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey and Keith Hernandez, or already enshrined Hall of Famers, committee members need to look at those numbers with some historical context. Hall voters have done so in the past. The earned-run averages of modern pitchers aren't compared to those from the game's "dead-ball" era, when home runs were rare. The statistics of players whose careers were interrupted by their military service, or those who spent years locked out of baseball by its color barrier, have appropriately been given special consideration.
John put up his stats as a player and a pioneer. No one had ever done what he did. He had no template to work from as he spent the latter half of 1974 and all of 1975 trying to recover from the strange, unprecedented repairs in his left arm. His task wasn't just to regain the ability to carry groceries and change an overhead lightbulb. John needed to recapture the strength to get major-league batters out, just as he'd done for 12 seasons with the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1963 to '74.
By the time he felt healed from his ligament transplant and ready, John was closing in on his 33rd birthday. He'd missed one and a half seasons in the prime of his career.
Now, with those circumstances understood, consider his statistics.
John pitched 288 victories, the seventh-highest total in history for a lefty and 26th best overall. Every pitcher with more victories is already in the Hall, except for recent retirees Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine and Randy Johnson. Those victories, coupled with his solid 3.34 earned-run average, merit induction alone. Yet skeptics discount John's win total, insisting it is mostly a product of his longevity and that John was never dominant. (Sinkerball pitchers don't dominate; they frustrate.) Those skeptics are seeing raw numbers with no context. John pitched the last four of his 26 seasons — yes, 26 — in the starting rotation of the New York Yankees. George Steinbrenner would not tolerate hangers-on. John went 13-6 in 1987 at age 44. At 45, he pitched 176 innings for the Yankees.
Look again at that win total. Notice that 164 of John's victories came after his landmark surgery, one fewer than Sandy Koufax's entire career total. John finished 10-10 with a sharp 3.09 ERA in 1976, his first season back with Los Angeles. Then, in the following four seasons, he delivered Exhibit A of his Hall-of-Fame credentials. In that span, John won 20 or more games three times. Twice, he was the Cy Young Award runner-up, once in the National League with the Dodgers and once in the American League with the Yankees. Over those four seasons with L.A. and New York, his combined record was 80-35 with a 3.11 ERA, and he posted a 2-1 mark in two World Series.
Had John reached the 300-win plateau, there would be no argument. It equals automatic Hall induction. Every pitcher in the 300 club, except those recent retirees, is enshrined. Remember, John missed one and a half seasons in the heart of his career to undergo that then-uncertain surgery. His "what-ifs" are countless, starting with, "What if his left elbow never blew up in 1974?" John might have notched those missing 12 victories in just the second half of that season; he was 13-3 before the injury.
Forget the what-ifs, though. Consider the Hall of Fame voting criteria, "based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contribution to the team[s] on which he played."
Tommy John should be a Hall of Famer.

---- — Area utilities were making headway in restoring power to the thousands who lost electricity in the wake of the storm that brought heavy rain, snow and high winds across the state late in the week.
As of Saturday afternoon, Cherryland Electric General Manager Tony Anderson said that 1,200 customers still remained in the dark in areas that included Leelanau County, Lake Ann, Copemish, Thompsonville, Williamsburg, Interlochen and Traverse City. That's down from a high of 6,600 on Friday, when heavy snow and wind made it tough going for crews trying to get power flowing again.
"As soon as the wind quit, that's when we started gaining on the outages," Anderson said. "(Before that) you could fix one and then another tree falls down within a couple of miles of you and then it goes out again."
Consumers Power had reported more than 160,000 customers affected by weather-related outages since 4 a.m. Thursday. By late afternoon Saturday about 13,000 were still waiting, including 2,415 in Benzie, 3,380 in Leelanau and 1,190 in Manistee counties. Consumers Power officials said that most would be back in service by midnight Saturday.
"We're still going to be working tonight, so there will still be more people restored by midnight tonight," said Consumers spokesman Roger Morgenstern late Saturday afternoon. "I would hate to say most, but many are going to get power tonight, we expect to have everything wrapped up by midnight tomorrow night and hopefully earlier.
"The weather right now has been great for December and it's going to be great tomorrow. So this weather really helps us with restoration efforts.
Great Lakes Energy also reported 15,000 outages continuing throughout northern Michigan on Saturday. That included about 2,500 in Crawford County, 1,000 in Charlevoix County, 1,200 in Antrim County, 3,000 in Otsego County and 1,300 in Kalkaska County.
A company press release Saturday indicated that electricity would probably not be restored to all of the customers Saturday and that it could take several days for the work to get done.
"Heavy, wet snow is making access to the many locations with downed power lines difficult," the company reported in a press release. "Crews often have to cut and remove fallen trees and limbs first before they can make the repairs."
The Northwest Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross had set up several shelters in anticipation of residents being without power on Friday night. Executive Director Kevin Bavers said the only shelter that remained open on Saturday was at The Maples Medical Center in Frankfort. A Maples staffer reported a full house of 30 staying overnight Friday, and a second location at the Fresh Wind Christian Community Center in Honor had 19 people come for shelter.
The Red Cross also opened a shelter in Kalkaska Friday, Bavers said.
"Fortunately nobody needed to come out and use it," Bavers said. "It's nice to be able to be there in case somebody really needs somewhere to go. It's always good to be able to close it down knowing everybody has a place to stay for the night."
Consumers Power listed additional shelters at the Salvation Army Community Center in Traverse City and at the Little River Casino Resort in Manistee. The Green Lake Township Fire Hall was also offering shelter and allowing residents to come and fill water jugs,
In most counties, residents can dial 2-1-1 to receive shelter information or to request assistance.

I have been making this recipe for awhile, and have just gotten around to reviewing it. Both my husband and I think it's fabulous!! I use four large boneless chops, 2 cloves of garlic, and half chicken broth/ half white wine for the 3/4 cup broth. I also usually substitute 2 tsp. cajun seasoning for the 2 tsp. paprika. The sauce can be a bit tricky! Make sure you definitely reduce the juices by half, when you remove the chops, or the sauce won't be thick enough. Also, once stirring in the sour cream, do not allow the mixture to boil, or it will separate, and ruin the sauce. Once done, I serve chops and sauce over hot, buttered noodles. Scrumptious!! Thanks for a great favorite in our house!
We loved this dish! I didn't seperate the onions/garlic from the chops - just sauted and simmered w/ them the whole time. Also - I too added a splash of white wine and used 3 bay leaves and added some crushed, dried rosemary. These three additions alone added great flavor to the chops. Finally, I did need to add some cornstarch to the gravy so that it would thicken like we prefer - but no big deal. I was worried that my family would not be happy with a side dish of mashed potatoes two nights in a row BUT since I had this great gravy to pour over them: my family was very pleased. This is a great recipe Clyde - thanks for posting it!
Definitely an easy and yummy recipe!! However, SOMETHING was missing (for me at least). Instead of the two tsps. of paprika recommended, I added ONE tsp. of SMOKED paprikia. Also, I used fat free sour cream although at the end of cooking the sauce, I added one heaping tspn. of cornstarch mixed with one tbsp. of water and added that mix to the sauce. We absolutely LOVED the flavor. Also, we DID simmer the porkchops for an hour because we like them fork tender. WOW!! Great recipe. Thanks so much.

A grand jury has issued subpoenas as part of the Cook County State's Attorney investigation of alleged hazing at Maine West High School, the Chicago Tribune reported.
School District 207 issued a statement confirming the subpoenas: "We will continue to use appropriate discretion regarding our public comments on this matter, and provide proactive communications to parents and other interested community members detailing the multiple strategies we are implementing to ensure such incidents do not occur in the future," the newspaper reported.
Four current and former Maine West families have filed a hazing and bullying lawsuit, which names Michael Divincenzo, Emilio Rodriguez, Maine West Principal Audrey Haugan and other D-207 administrators, faculty and staff.
The original complaint according to court documents, after a freshman soccer player was promoted to the varsity squad.
During the "campus run" the boy's teammates grabbed the boy, according to the complaint, tore off his underwear, held him down so he could not resist, grabbed his testicles and sodomized him with their fingers and other foreign objects. The lawsuit is attached to a previous story.
In an alleged 2008 incident involving the baseball team, a woman said her son was pinned against the lockers in the locker room by a group of children, his pants were ripped down, his boxers were repeatedly ripped down, and he was exposed repeatedly by numerous members of the team. She said her son was also humiliated on bus rides, and she went to Maine West High School at the time to speak with officials about the incidents.
The D-207 board of education voted unanimously to begin dismissal proceedings on Divincenzo in December, and the district was still considering disciplinary action against other staff members involved with the investigation into hazing and bullying incidents, D-207 stated.

- Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze: Worlds 1998, 1999, Olys 2002
- Shen & Zhao: Worlds 2002, 2003, 2007, Olys 2010
- Savchenko & Szolkowy: Worlds 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Berehnaya & Sikharulidze. Did they deserve to win Gold in 2002? Yes. But had they not made crucial mistakes that allowed the media to engineer a scandal they would be the unanimous champions. Thus it is time they went.
All for Shen & Zhao taking this and very happy for the Germans to be runner-ups. And o.o I can't believe Shen & Zhao is losing this.
Personally I find Savchenko and Szolkowy to be more interesting than Shen and Zhao and I'll be voting for the Chinese pair despite their huge medal count over the years.
Savchenko and Szolkowy should win this. All their elements are amazing ( except maybe twist ) and have had some truly amazing and innovative programs that will never be forgotten. Like their "send in the clowns" short program and their " Pink Panther" long. JUST BRILLIANT
Are you freaking kidding me? Shen and Zhao should finish first, not third.
I really like S&S but I'll vote for them in this round.
S/S are still in the list
S/S's main and maybe only weakness is their consistency. And for such a top pair their glitches are often quite memorable. But even with more consistency it did never feel like they could have set themselves up as the really dominant pair and with decent competition will never run away with a title.
That said, I'll try to vote them into the great finale based upon their ever changing and ever interesting body of work.
I'll go with S/S this round. IMO, they lack the connection with each other that B/S and S/Z have. They always leave me the impression that two beautiful individual skaters(especially her) are skating together.
....It was difficult to vote, I love all Three pairs!
What I said last round.
Shen and Zhao
Technique > Emotion.
Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze > Shen & Zhou > Savchenko & Szolkowy without even the slighest bit of doubt IMO. S&S are very good but capatilized on a really weak pairs era with no competition. When an old past their prime Shen & Zhou who werent even skating clean long programs anymore returned, they immediately stopped winning. S&Z are great but only dominated after B&S and S&P retired, and even then only really dominated when Totmianina & Marinin werent around. B&S had consistency problems, and were victimized by the over the top political push for S&P for awhile, but they are truly one of the top 3 pairs teams of all time IMO and a class above he other two.
On another note funny the heat B&S take for being supposably inconsistent, when most of their errors their final couple competitive seasons were minor ones (exagerrated by TPTB in an attempt to build up S&P) while S&S who rarely get through a competition without a huge crash get a free pass by comparision.
Really haven't kept up with the polls, but as much as I love Shen & Zhou, the skating of B & S is the most beautiful I've ever seen. Nothing these days compares, in my opinion. I know people rave about S & S today, but I miss the pre-2002 pairs.
I think S/Z are completely overrated - they were a very good team but I never got the fuss about them. I don't even think they should have won their Olympic title But I do think the one thing they did have was pretty good consistency - which sadly S/S and B/S lacked.
Whats on the revengenda this evening? Nolan Ross
I have an irrational dislike of S/S.
I voted for S/S because of their consistency issues and their lack of an Olympic Gold medal. I think I'm going to vote for S/Z eventually to win because they have Olympic medals from three different Olympics, while B/S have only two and their gold was highly disputed. I also feel they had consistency issues as well.

PART ONE: January 1976
On those cloudy days, Robert Neville was never sure when sunset came, and sometimes they were in the streets before he could get back.
If he had been more analytical, he might have calculated the approximate time of their arrival; but he still used the lifetime habit of judging nightfall by the sky, and on cloudy days that method didn't work. That was why he chose to stay near the house on those days.
He walked around the house in the dull gray of afternoon, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, trailing threadlike

Quote:Glad to hear that you guys have worked out an alternative way to guide the LX80
Quote:I think I missed it- what was the PE?-Rich
Quote:(I think few of you folks need to call Meade to have them release APM for LX-80 (a needed accessory).)Probably not happening, My original reply got buried.I was at the OPT SCAE event last weekend and spoke with the Meade Rep's there. When the LX80 guide port ship date came up, I was told it's not happening anytime soon. It seems that because of the different electronics in the LX80 and LX800 that Meade has put the LX80 guide port development on hold.Plan on screaming really loud at Meade.
Quote:Then again, if this delay is due to Meade configuring the APM electronics to enable use of the Starlock autoguider on the LX80 then I'm all for it.
Quote:We shall see how far I can go UNGUIDED.

David Legwand has lived up to his nickname, "the Original Nashville Predator."
As the team's first-ever pick in the Entry Draft, his personal progress has mirrored the team's to a large extent. Chosen immediately after Vincent Lecavalier, he'll always be dogged by offensive comparisons to the Tampa Bay star, but has nonetheless emerged as the most important forward on a highly competitive team over the last several years.
His style of play also matches up nicely with the perception of the Preds as a whole. A strong skater with a solid reputation for defensive play, 'Leggy' chips in at a decent clip offensively, but will never be confused with a Brad Richards or Henrik Sedin.
Even if his methods sometimes veer into the bizarre, he manages to get the job done and since he no longer commands one of most expensive contracts on the team, even some of his longtime detractors are beginning to appreciate the value he brings to the lineup.

West Chester, Pa. - February 27, 2010 - The Springfield College women's gymnastics team finished third at a tri-meet on Saturday in a meet that also featured Temple and host West Chester. Temple won with an overall score of 188.150, followed by West Chester's score of 181.275, while the Pride rounded out the scoring with a 179.925.
Leading the way for the Pride was Christina Pagella who had two top three finishes on the day. Pagella finished third on the vault with a score of 9.400, and also finished third in the floor exercise with a 9.675.
Brittany Baglow had a tremendous day as she finished third all-around. Baglow scored 9.150 on the vault, 8.125 on the bars, 9.075 on the beam, and 9.150 en route to a total all-around score of 35.500.
Other top finishers for the day included Ericca Castagna, who tied for fourth on the floor exercise with a mark of 9.650. Jeanna Bradle had Springfield's top score on the uneven parallel bars as she posted a 9.000, good enough for sixth place. Kayleigh Davis also picked up a sixth-place finish on the day as she scored a 9.150 on the balance beam.
The Pride will return to action next Sunday, March 7 when it plays host to Yale and Rhode Island College in a tri-meet.

Hot Cross Buns are an Easter tradition dating back to before Queen Elizabeth I. In addition to their Christian symbol of the cross, they have strong folklore traditions as well: Sailors would bring cross buns with them on sea voyages to guard against shipwrecks. Hanging a cross bun in the kitchen guaranteed that bread made there would always rise. And, sharing a cross bun with someone meant you were best friends forever.
Continue the tradition for yourself by using prepared frozen bread dough from the store. Or, if you have a favorite made-from-scratch buttery yeast dough, this is the perfect occasion for it!
Hot Cross Buns:
1 lb. good-quality white or whole-wheat yeast bread dough
¼ cup white sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. each cardamom and nutmeg
¾ cup dried fruit-and-nut combo of your choice
1 egg yolk
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla
2 to 3 tsp. milk or cream
Thaw the dough according to the package directions. When you're ready to make the buns, bring the dough to room temperature by leaving it covered on the kitchen counter for about an hour.
Mix sugar and spices in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix together your choice of dried fruits and nuts.
Sprinkle a pastry cloth or large cutting board with a couple tablespoons of flour. With damp hands, flatten the dough into the flour so it's roughly a one-inch-thick rectangle.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture, fruit and nuts onto the dough. Roll up the dough lengthwise into a log shape.
Bring the ends of the log together and firmly massage the dough, kneading it for about two minutes and shaping it into a big, smooth ball. If the fruit falls out, just press it back into the dough. Don't be afraid to really work the dough into a ball—you can't hurt it!
Coat a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
With damp hands, squeeze dinner roll-size dough pieces between your thumb and forefinger—you'll have about 10 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball (it doesn't need to be perfectly round) and place in the pan. The rolls will nestle cozily with their sides touching or almost touching.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap coated in cooking spray and place in a warm spot for an hour to allow the rolls to rise.
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Mix the egg yolk with one tablespoon of water and lightly brush the egg-and-water mixture on the top of each roll. Use a light hand and don't use too much, or you'll have baked egg on top of your rolls.
Bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 375 degrees—until the tops of the rolls are golden brown. To be sure that the rolls are done, check with a food thermometer. The interior temperature of the rolls should be 190 degrees.
Allow the rolls to cool thoroughly in the pan. Mix up the ingredients for the icing and spoon the icing into a small zip-close bag. Snip a narrow corner off the end of the bag and pipe the icing in a cross shape on top of each of the buns.
On the off chance that you have leftover buns, don't re-heat them in the microwave, as it will destroy the yeast bread texture. Wrap rolls in foil and reheat in the oven for a few minutes at 325 degrees.
Check Potomac Patch next week for a new Cooking With Cardamom Post, where we attempt this delicious sounding recipe.

The vet bed that I ordered for my diabetic dog is excellent quality and means he has a comfortable bed and not a problem to wash if he has an accident which unfortunately is one of the side effects of the diabetes The diabetes has also caused quite a lot of weight loss so the vet bed is really cosy for him as his bed"
"Just wanted to let you know you guys did it right, Well done. I was previously using another vendors site for my pet food orders. They updated their site and horribly overcomplicated it. It used to take me up to 30 mins to be able to place an order. Using your previous purchases option Im now able to do it under 60s Keep up the good work"
I have a Chocolate Labrador that was 5kg over weight so my Vet recommended Hills Metabolic Prescription Diet food and it worked so well that he has slimmed down to 35kg in 4mnths The weight loss has to be monitored by the nurse at our Vets that is free and my dog is so energetic and slender I have recommended it to 6 other people Thank You for your quick service You are the cheapest I have found too

Earl Derr Biggers.
Besides having one of the grooviest names in mystery writing, Earl Derr Biggers also created one of the most controversial and slickest sleuths in literature (and film for that matter). When Charlie Chan made his literary debut in the Saturday Evening Post serialization of The House without a Key (1925), the catalyst for corny aphorisms was hatched onto an appreciative mystery reading public. At times complex and other times laughable, this novel avoids all the trappings of pulp Noir. Chan is described as an extremely overweight man with baby cheeks and a soft, dainty step. The anti-Fu Manchu. Though murder is a sloppy business, Chan's investigation is crisp and clean.
Charlie Chan Carries On (1930) is the fifth of the six original Chan novels and is more of the same as the other four. But they are all fun. If you need a break from high brow murder stories, give ol' Charlie Chan a try.
