CLEVELAND — Terry Francona heard the boos from the home crowd, and the Cleveland Indians manager didnt mind one bit.
Francona pulled Corey Kluber two outs short of a complete game in Clevelands 4-1 win over Kansas City on Sunday. The crowd of 16,991 wanted to see Kluber, who allowed four hits and struck out 10 in 81⁄3 innings, finish the game, and the fans let Francona know they didnt agree with his decision.
I dont blame them, Francona said. If I was managing with my heart, Id have left him in there, too.
Kluber (8-6) took a three-hitter into the ninth before Eric Hosmer started the inning with a double. The right-hander, who gave up a solo homer to Mike Moustakas in the fifth, was removed after striking out Salvador Perez.
Kluber also heard the boos and used the opportunity to take a good-natured jab at his manager.
Kip (second baseman Jason Kipnis) was giving him a hard time, too, he said. It was pretty funny, I guess.
Cody Allen recorded the final two outs for his ninth save, and Carlos Santana and Yan Gomes homered in a three-run second inning.
Kluber, who walked one, retired the first seven hitters before Jarrod Dysons infield single with one out in the third. Lorenzo Cain also had an infield hit in the sixth.
Kluber has been Clevelands ace all season. He has four double-figure strikeout games.
It sure is nice, man, to write his name in there, Francona said. He has weapons, he has poise, and he competes.
Kluber is working to stay on an even keel throughout the season.
Im trying to be as consistent as I can from start to start, Kluber said. I try to avoid the downs as much as possible and keep the good stuff rolling.
Kluber rarely shows any emotion on the mound, but Francona thinks appearances can be misleading.
Hes very locked in, Francona said. Maybe his demeanor belies the real fire thats in there. He gets after it.
Even Moustakas, who walked in the seventh and is 7 for 18 against Kluber, was impressed.
Everything he was throwing was nasty, he said.
A lack of run support has kept Kluber from having a better record. He allowed three runs over 20 2-3 innings in his last three starts, but lost twice. Kluber held the Dodgers to one run in 6 2-3 innings on Monday, but was the losing pitcher in a 1-0 defeat.
Both of Clevelands home runs came off Danny Duffy (5-8). Santana led off the inning with a line drive that barely cleared the fence in right. Gomes followed with a two-run homer to center.
Michael Brantley, who went 2 for 4 to raise his average to .321, had an RBI single in the fifth.
Santanas homer came on a 1-1 pitch and was his 13th of the season, tying him with Brantley for the team lead. Ryan Raburn followed with a single, and Gomes hit his 10th home run on a 1-0 pitch.
Cleveland has won four of five and moved within two games of second-place Kansas City in the AL Central. The Royals, who trail first-place Detroit by 4 1-2 games, dropped their first road series since losing two of three against the Los Angeles Angels from May 23-25.
Duffy allowed 10 hits and struck out six in six innings. The left-hander had a 1.69 ERA in six June starts and was 3-1 with a 1.05 ERA in his last four road starts.
The Indians placed leadoff hitter and center fielder Michael Bourn on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. Bourn has been battling the injury all season and hurt it again running the bases on Saturday.

Fellow status is an honor bestowed upon APA members who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology.
Fellow status requires that a person's work has had a national impact on the field of psychology beyond a local, state or regional level. A high level of competence or steady and continuing contributions are not sufficient to warrant fellow status. National impact must be demonstrated.
The Fellows Committee's recommendations are based on criteria established by the nominating division, if such criteria exist. In the absence of division criteria, established APA criteria are used. Although there must be a primary nominating division, a second division may submit statements of support for a nominee.
Nominations to initial fellow status are made by APA Divisions. Each nominee's application materials are reviewed by the APA Fellows Committee which has the responsibility of making recommendations on each case to the association's Board of Directors and Council of Representatives. Please check with your division fellows chair for the deadline to submit an application to the division.
APA Fellows Online Application Platform — Closed Until Aug. 1, 2014
For Initial Fellow Applicants Only
The process to apply to be an APA fellow is done via the APA Online Application Platform (closed until Aug. 1, 2014). This system allows nominees, endorsers and division fellows chairs to submit all required documents online.
The online system replaces the previous, paper-based process and all fellows applications must be added to the system to be considered by the Fellows Committee.
Required Application Materials
Initial Fellows Application — To be completed by the nominee via the APA Fellows Online Application Platform. Required sections are:
- Contact Information
- Graduate/Postdoctoral education history
- Name and email address of at least three endorsers (current APA fellows who have agreed to support the nomination)
- Curriculum vitae, including publications (indicating "R" for refereed). Must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format with a maximum file size of 4MB.
- Nominee's Self Statement: This sets forth accomplishments on why the applicant feels they warrant nomination to fellow status. The self-statement must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format with a maximum file size of 4MB.
- Endorsement Letters — In order to be selected as a fellow, an applicant must be endorsed by three current APA fellows. Each endorser will use the APA Fellows Online Application Platform to submit an endorsement letter. This form is to be completed by the current fellows supporting the nomination of the applicant. Three are required for each nominee.
- Fellow Status Evaluation Form — This form should be used by each endorser to help articulate the contributions of the nominee in the endorsement letter. Three are required for each nominee.
- Division Fellow Chair Statement — To support the nomination for fellow status, the division fellows chair provides rationale for each nomination. The chair will use the APA Fellows Online Application Platform to summarize how the applicant has met both APA and division criteria for fellow status, summarize national/international impact, and provide evidence that the nominating division has thoroughly considered the nominee's application, endorsements and other supporting materials.
Optional but Highly Recommended Materials
- Any other supportive documentation: This can be any information that you believe will help your nomination. The more the division can support the nominee, the better the nominee's odds for election to fellow status. The APA Fellows Online Application Platform will allow up to three additional supporting documents. Each file must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format with a maximum file size of 4MB.
Election Timeline
Below is a general overview of the timeline involved in electing initial fellows members who have not achieved fellow status in any other division.
In March of each year, the Fellows Committee carefully considers each fellow nomination and determines whether to:
- Recommend nominee election to fellow status; or
- Not recommend the nominee for fellow status; or
- Defer the nomination pending receipt of further information.
Following their preliminary recommendation (usually occurring in March), the Fellows Committee notifies each division fellow chair regarding the status of each of the division's fellow nominees. Should the committee not recommend election to fellow status, the division has the option to inform the nominee and appeal the decision prior to and/or during the APA Annual Convention (the committee holds a special meeting to consider such appeals). Should the committee defer a decision, the division has the option to provide additional information, testimony and clarity regarding the nominee's eligibility for fellow status. The division should keep all information confidential until after council has elected nominees to fellow status.
During the APA Annual Convention, and after all appeals have been considered, the Fellows Committee submits a final list of nominees to the APA Board of Directors. The board then recommends election to the APA Council of Representatives, which ultimately elects the nominees to fellow status. Once the APA Council of Representatives has elected nominees to fellow status, division council representatives can report on the election outcome.
In October of each year, the Fellows Committee officially notifies each division of the outcome, sends a certificate to each initial fellow, lists initial fellows in the American Psychologist and amends their membership record to reflect fellow status commencing in September.
Current Fellows
Current fellows are APA members who are already fellows in other divisions, and may also become fellows in another division without approval from the APA Fellows Committee. Once an APA member has been approved by the Fellows Committee, Board of Directors and Council of Representatives for fellow status in one division, they do not need further approval from APA to become a fellow in additional divisions. It is the responsibility of each division to determine the eligibility of current fellows and to notify APA of their election. July 1 is the deadline each year for division fellows chairs to notify Sonja Wiggins, the Fellows Committee liaison with the names and addresses of any new current fellows approved by their division.
If you are interested in learning more or applying for fellow status in your division, contact your division fellows chair listed on this page.

The 2004 KTM 950 Adventure has the air of a street bike, but those looking to have a good time off-roading need not turn away: the Adventure line of bikes has everything an off-roader desires, with a few unexpected improvements as well.
KTM, the company that designed the Adventure line, is an Austrian company that produces top-quality, light-weight dirt bikes. The 950 Adventure bikes of 2004, like most of KTM's previous bikes, come with street-spec tires, which contribute to the lightness of the vehicle. Although KTM has produced dirt bikes for several decades now, a surprising new change gives it an even more appealing drive: the 950 Adventure series was designed with a 75-degree, V-twin motor called the LC8 and is accompanied by four valves and a set of twin overhead cams. These additions cause the Adventure bikes to rise up to the 942cc displacement level, but to most bikers, that can be overlooked due to the 100 horsepower that it lends the vehicles.
When it comes to off-road biking, bikers are seeking the thrill of adventure; safety is often not at the forefront of the mind. However, the aptly named Adventure series still considers safety to be a priority, which is why KTM continues its tradition of using Brembo brakes. Two twin-piston calipers cling to the dual 300mm front disc brakes. In the rear, a single 240mm disc brake with an accompanying twin-piston caliper to slow it down is found.
The lightweight street-spec tires are Pirelli MT90s, or Scorpion A/Ts. The difference between these tires and actual street-bike tires are in their wider grooves, which create the greater traction requisite for driving on off-road terrains. Many skilled bikers, though, may not be convinced of the efficacy of such tires in an off-road situation, fearing that they may not be aggressive enough to match the power and gusto of the novel engine design that is the 950 Adventure line's hallmark. However, those who have ridden the bike in off-road terrains agree that the Adventure bikes work well even with the lightweight tires. As any off-roader knows, what matters is the feel of the bike: if the rider rides it as he would any other, heavier bike, he will see that it stands up to expectations. The only terrain in which the Adventure line bikes might fall short is when riding in sand, because heavier tires are needed for greater traction. Otherwise, it drives just as well as any heavier dirt bike.
Lastly, the appearance of the 950 Adventure bikes is of some importance to dirt-bike enthusiasts. With the aforementioned thin, DOT-approved tires that lend to it a sleek physique, it does indeed look more like a street bike. And like most street bikes, it does boast a chrome-moly steel frame. The frame does not extend all the way down and around the body of the bike; instead, it reveals the motor in order to add to the dirt-bike aesthetic. Sitting at a 34.6-inch seat height, the bike has a suspension travel of nine inches. The chassis is 48mm and placed up at the front, and there is a hydraulic preload adjuster in the rear. A characteristic not before seen in KTM's bikes is the rear suspension linkage that connects to the swing arm.
The 950 Adventure line, with its versatile bikes that can be both street- and off-road friendly, will unfortunately be used primarily on the streets due to the apprehensions of bikers who wish to use it offroad but do not trust the tires. However, riders should know that the bike, with its powerful engine and thoughtful safety machinery, is a joy to ride even offroad, where riders with some experience can enjoy the light weight, speed, and power of a truly adventure-inspiring off-road dirt-bike.

We are in the center, only a 5 minute walk from Puerta Real. There are buses to Puerta Real from the airport, Bus Station and Railway Station.
It is less than 5 minutes from Puerta Real bus stop to our place. There are three consecutive squares from Puerta Real, each with a fountain in the middle: Fuente de Las Batallas, Plaza del Campillo and Plaza Mariana Pineda, from which our Street begins. Once on Enriqueta Lozano Street walk two blocks until you get to number 22 which is on your right. Look for the bell numbered 2 B and ring it. If you do not arrive at the time you gave with your reservation chances will be that you will not find anyone there to let you in. Please do not disturb the neighbors, phone Victor instead to make a new appointment.
Take the airport bus and get off at Puerta Real. Then follow the directions above. Alternatively a taxi to our front door would cost you about 25 Euros.
Go up Avenida Andaluces (500 meters) and turn left on Avenida de Constituci嚙緯. Get to the local bus stop called CONSTITUCION 2 and from there take any of these buses: 1, 3, 7, 9. Get off at Puerta Real and from there follow directions above. Note: It is safe to walk all the way from the Railway Station to our place even at night but please note it is a long 45 minute walk as the Railway Station is far from the center.
Take any of these buses: 3, 33. The Bus Station is not in a nice area and it is outside town about a 90 minute walk from us. It could be dangerous not only at night but even at midday. Please do not walk from there! Do not put yourself at risk to save a couple of euros. Save money in other things. Get off the bus at Puerta Real and from there follow directions above.
If you have your own CAR please note it is not allowed to enter in our street (it is only for residents) and finding a car space for free in the center is just impossible. You have two options: Get to Puerta Real and leave the car in Parking Puerta Real which is the closest to us (Price is 21 Euros per 24 hours) or leave the car as far from the center as possible in a neighborhood where parking in the street is free such as the south east area across river Genil from the center (Zaidin for example). Expect a long walk back (about 20 minutes).
To get to Puerta Real by car take highway A-44 / E-902 to Motril and take turn off number 131 (Palacio de Congresos / Armilla). 500 meters pass the Conference Centre turn left and cross the river at Paseo Del Salon into Acera del Darro and then Puerta Real.
To park for free in the street ignore the bridge after the Conference Centre and continue along the river on Paseo de los Basilios, then turn right ON Callej嚙緯 del Pretorio and start looking for a free space. Always go along Callejon del Pretorio and keep the river behind you. The further from the river the greater your chances of finding a space are. Expect a 10 to 20 minute walk from the car to La Casa de Victor depending on how far from the river you found a space for your car

UPDATE: PSEG says the power has been restored from this afternoon's black out when the substation, located in the Sewaren section of Woodbridge, crashed and killed the electricity for people in the area.
The PSEG statement is as follows:
"...[A]t about 2:40 p.m. today, PSE&G's Sewaren switching station went out of service. Personnel were immediately on site. The outage affected about 45,000 customers in portions of: Perth Amboy, Rahway, Woodbridge, Carteret, Fanwood, Westfield, Mountainside, Edison, Plainfield and Scotch Plains. The Sewaren station was one of a number of switching and substations that experienced significant flooding as a result of Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 29. All customers were restored by about 4:15 p.m."
Another power outage has thrown Woodbridge and area residents back into the dark again.
The culprit is the Sewaren substation, the same electrical cog in the PSE&G network that flooded in Hurricane Sandy's storm surge and knocked out power to thousands in the days following the storm.
This time, up to 25,000 people are affected, said PSEG spokeswoman Annette Hicks. The power outage started at approximately 2:30 pm.
It was only several days ago on November 9 that the substation was reactivated, delivering power to 20,000 people who had been without it for days.
"We have no idea how long it will take to repair," Hicks said. She did say the company knew of the outage and was hard at work finding the problem and repairing it.
Residents and businesses without power are in Woodbridge, Carteret, Rahway, and Perth Amboy, Hicks said.

Nissan Altima Lease Questions
pegasus17 Posts: 536If you can provide msrp and selling price, i can calculate the proper payment using this info from an earlier post:
"The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 Altima 3.5 SL are .00072 and 62%.
I don't think that Nissan is providing support on 39-month leases of these cars right now.
In the Northeast, Nissan is providing a $375 cash incentive on leases of the '13 Altima Sedan. "
4dr Sdn V6 CVT 3.5 SL msrp $30,560 invoice $29,278
UPDATE: Used the above data (no incentive, invoice sell price, pre-tax) i get 339/month for the std 36 month, 12k mile lease. Tax on leases varies by state so you have to add that in appropriately...
chasfm Posts: 4this same dealer sent me an offer that didnt include the T/T/L. when i asked about it he said
Correct. Right now Nissan has Tax Credits so you will not be paying Taxes on this car.
i asked for more details and if he had alink explaining this program. his reply
It is no a published program for the general public. It is an internal program for Nissan dealers, meaning we do not have to tell you about it. It is usually used from profit, but I am giving it to you upfront in order to be aggressive and earn your business.
is there such a thing? i am not the most experienced car buyer but i have never heard of a dealer essentially eating the tax. any guidance would be appreciated. thanks.

I turned in a 2010 Altima that they supposedly forgave the last two payments for me to get into this vehicle. I am happy with it.
the4aces Posts: 1I am trying to buyout of my lease of a 2010 Nissan Altima.
The residual value is $14800. I only put 32,000 miles on it when I could have put 48,000 miles on the car.
The Nissan dealer is saying they need me to pay for another inspection ($300) and buy a new tire before they can sell me the car... Is this true? Also they say I need to pay a restocking fee of $300 before they can sell me the car.
Does this sound right?
Here's the information that you're looking for, rehab702. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Altima Sedan 2.5S with 12,000 miles per year are .00073 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Acquisition Fee $595
Fees and Insurance $872
Upfront Taxes $148
Rebate as cap reduction $875
Money Factor .00073 (1.752%)
This is all the stuff itemized on the sheets printed out for me by the dealer..... what am I missing? All the calculators I've used on line come up with a lower monthly payment.... ???
Thank you!
For numbers (new york), I was just in the dealer's office and they gave me the following:
SL V6: 12K, 36 months: 62% residual, .00118 MF
SL 2.5: 12K, 36 months: 58% residual, .00118 MF
Carman, would/should there be a difference than the .00073 and 57% you quoted above on the 2.5 sl?
Couple things. First, Fees and insurance. Where do they get this #? Acquisition fee is usually in the MSRP--make sure its not in there twice.
Second, navigation usually knocks down the residual at least a point or two.
Third, what is the sales price of the car, MSRP minus rebates/loyalty cash? I would negotiate the sales price of the car before taking account of the rebates. Go on here, figure out the TMV and try and get that.
nsolis Posts: 9In the middle of a negotiation for a 2013 Altima 3.5 SL without the Tech Package. Anyone have any Cap Cost comparisons for that car? Think list is roughly $31,500 to $31, 900. Just curious what prices people have negotiated down to.
Car Man, do you have the money factor and residual value figures for the 3.5 SL for the month of March?
Thanks for your time in advance.

Bay Health Plan
Genesee Health Plan
Saginaw Health Plan
Tri-Share helps small businesses in Bay, Genesee, and Saginaw Counties provide basic healthcare insurance to their employees. The employer, employee and the health plan each pay one-third of a low monthly premium. Visit www.TriShare.org for more information.
Genesee County, Saginaw County, and Bay County each offer low cost, community-based programs that provide basic healthcare coverage to low-income individuals in Michigan. The plans provide limited coverage for doctor visits, prescriptions, lab tests and X-rays with affordable copay amounts. This is not insurance, however, the coverage for many basic healthcare services has assisted many Michigan residents with their healthcare needs.
If you are a resident of one of these counties, and meet income and other eligibility requirements, Genesee Health Plan, Saginaw Health Plan, or Bay Health Plan may be right for you.
Click the logo below to be taken to each health plan's website.
A number of communities in Michigan have undertaken the development of community-based initiatives to provide healthcare coverage for low-income uninsured persons who are not eligible for mainstream medical assistance programs. The goal of these programs is to provide some level of basic healthcare services to low-income, uninsured individuals (generally working individuals) that do not qualify for publicly funded health care.
The administrative structure of the community health plans varies. Some plans contract with third-party administrators, pharmacy benefit managers, local health maintenance organizations (HMOs) for services including claims processing, member and provider services, and utilization management. Genesee, Saginaw, and Bay County plans contract with HealthPlus of Michigan for member services.
Through improved access to primary care, case management, formulary management and ongoing utilization reviews, community health plans are creating access to basic ambulatory care for persons who otherwise have no reliable source for services.
Genesee Health Plan, Saginaw Health Plan, and Bay Health Plan are non-profit corporations.
The primary goal of the county health plans is to increase access to coverage. At the end of Fiscal Year 2006, based on current funding levels, between 60,000 and 75,000 low-income Michiganians without health insurance had access to at least primary and preventive health care. Those enrolled in Third-Share programs have access to relatively comprehensive health care services.
If you live in another Michigan county, visit http://www.communityhealthplans.org to see if you are eligible for a county health plan.

Georgia lawmakers have wasted little time this year pushing for limits on lobbyist gifts.
As the General Assembly got under way last week, the state Senate set a $100 cap on lobbyist gifts to its members. Legislators' first day also saw the filing of Senate Bill 36, which if passed would enact an even wider ban on lobbyist gifts. A copy of the legislation is attached to this article.
The bill, which is sponsored by State Sen. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, and State Sen. Bill Cowsert, R-Athens, would prohibit any gift from a lobbyist to a public officer in the state. According to Heath, current state law defines a gift as something with a value in excess of $100.
The Senate rule passed before SB 36's filing is not without its loopholes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in its report on the Senate's gift cap notes that even under the rule, gifts worth more than $100 could be made to an entire committee or subcommittee. And the cap does not apply to family members or Senate staffers.
The AJC's "Political Insider," Jim Galloway, says there is a "fundamental situation" amid the moves to limit lobbyist gifts—a low legislator pay rate. He reports that the state's lawmakers earn $17,342 a year before their per diem, which brings their pay to about $24,000 annually.
"We need to start paying a decent salary to these 236 lawmakers sent to Atlanta each year," Galloway said.
One argument supporting higher legislator pay, Galloway adds, ties into the gift issue: If lawmakers earned more, they "would be less likely to feel entitled to the free meals, booze, and tickets to concerts and football games" given by lobbyists.
Is a law limiting lobbyist gifts to public officials necessary? Would a law banning such gifts be successful in making government more ethical?
Would increasing legislator pay make lawmakers less likely to accept gifts? Should state leaders consider a pay bump, or should they look at other changes first?

This week a coalition met to address San Antonio's problem with low-income access to credit. 30 people representing organizations ranging from the San Antonio Area Foundation to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Antonio make up the The Anti-Predatory Lending Coalition which is looking at ways to increase alternatives to payday and auto-title lenders.
They use "predatory" to describe the lenders who charge large transaction fees as well as exorbitant interest rates on their loans.
The results are in and the November election is shaping up. District 4 County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson, along with former Councilwoman Elisa Chan, are out in two of the larger races.
We talk with area journalists about those races and more. What did we see? What didn't we see? And whose primary seasons are not through yet?
Ballet San Antonio isn't quite taking it to the streets, but they are close. They're doing what they call a "pop-up" performance.
"For us a pop-up performance is a spontaneous performance in a non-traditional venue," said Ballet San Antonio's President and Executive Director Courtney Barker.
They're holding a near-spontaneous performance at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Radius building on Auditorium Circle downtown.
Tea party darling Dr. Donna Campbell has all but clinched her Senate District 25 seat again. She squashed fellow Republicans Elisa Chan and Mike Novak in the primary with 55 percent of the vote and now she'll face Democratic nominee Daniel Boone in the November general election.
Despite her comfortable lead all evening, Campbell waited to make her win official until about 11 p.m. Tuesday. She thanked God and her many conservative supporters, but maintained her biggest endorsements came from regular people.
Going into the final leg of the Republican lieutenant governor race, incumbent David Dewhurst led state Sen. Dan Patrick by a narrow margin, but strong early polling numbers and the possible effects of an icy Election Day has given Patrick the edge when all the votes were counted.
Most political experts were predicting a runoff between Patrick and Dewhurst and it came true.
Despite his expected victory in the Republican primary for governor, Greg Abbott said he's not taking the election for granted. Abbott cast his ballot in Austin and stressed his favorable rating among Hispanic voters.
The ice had melted away by the time Greg Abbott cast his ballot at Western Hills Church of Christ in Austin, and even though he's not running against Democrat Wendy Davis in the primary election, she is the opponent he is targeting.
In the last efforts to gain the democratic nomination for Bexar County judge, Nelson Wolff and his challenger, Tommy Adkisson, spent time with the people they hope to get to the polls to vote in Tuesday's primary. Wolff spent a warm Saturday block walking on the far Southside.
"This is our third street," Wolff said, walking up to the gate at a home where the owner stopped doing yard work to chat.
"Is this your place?" Wolff asked of Ross Suniga.
"Yes, sir," Suniga said. "It's almost three acres."
Congratulations to Thuy Pham, who submitted the winning design for this year's TPR Artist T-Shirt.
Pham says she went for a "clean and simple" design in creating her transistor radio-styled shirt, which incorporates the tagline "Radio that goes in one ear and stays there." The selection committee admired the bold design, which will be printed on several hundred T-shirts for members of Texas Public Radio during the spring pledge drive.
The San Antonio Symphony is back at it this weekend, but this time around they're doing something a little different.
"We have our classical concert this weekend on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8," said new San Antonio Symphony President David Gross.
There will be a guest player/conductor.
"Kolja Blacher is our violin soloist, and he is also our guest conductor" said Gross. "And we're going to be featuring music of Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Beethoven."
But this is where the regular symphonic experience takes a slight detour, as he explained.
An $825 million plan from the Texas Department of Transportation to improve Interstate 10 and Highways 1604 and US 281 is in the works.
The focus of the effort is to add lanes -- including toll lanes. San Antonio is the last major metropolitan city in Texas without tolls, and the effort to toll has spurred vocal opponents.

Before indie music stardom, before acclaim as an essayist and laurels as an author, Alina Simone studied photography in art school. She leverages her compositional acumen into Note To Self, her debut novel, capturing a portrait of our "late-blooming", tech-obsessed, self-obsessed, pop-culture-obsessed generation fevered to achieve Meaning through—of all absurd channels—creativity. Simone frames this
Simone reads from the first chapter of her debut novel for The Next Best Book Club.
"Simone's is a wisecracking, mordantly observant, wide-awake voice. Even when the humor is bitter, there's something joyful in it—like hearing a direct dispatch from a neurotic person's consciousness." —Karen Russell, O Magazine
"With her first novel, musician and memoirist Alina Simone proves herself a hilariously whipsmart chronicler of thirtysomething creative ambition." —Scott Indrisek, Bookforum"Note to Self is goofy, sweet, and all the things you want in a coming-of-age story. There's redemption in all this quotidian depravity." —Jen Vafidis, The Daily Beast"Simone captures Anna's listless existence and her efforts to break out of her terminal inertia in this deft exploration of modern malaise." —Kristine Huntley, Booklist"The flavors of the book are sharp and sour, like a Chinese soup, and Alina Simone, a singer/songwriter, is clearly a novelist, too." —Nick Hornby, The Believer"Simone . . . skewers the self-absorbed world in which Anna is caught up with incisive writing and her observations are often so clever they deserve reading aloud. The dénouement stuns more than it should, but by then readers will be standing in Anna's shoes." —Publishers Weekly"The Internet has burrowed deep into our souls, and Alina Simone writes about it with radical honesty. Plus she's hilarious." —Amanda Palmer"People as multi-talented and skilled as Alina Simone, who sings beautifully, writes essays, and now foists upon us a truly funny and poignant novel, need to be stopped. And maybe they will be, but in the meantime, there is no harm in falling into the soulful voice of Simone's narrator, Anna, as she struggles with the end of numb, cubicled youth and the awkward beginnings of new life." —Sam Lipsyte, author of The Fun Parts"Note to Self is smart, zany and sadly true about all that's truly sad about the state of human cognition in the digital age. Alina Simone has an extraordinary ear for the frenetic cadence and petty concerns of our times. She also has the heart and brains to point the way toward something more transcendent. I smiled, nodded, and shook my head in recognition all the way through." —Meghan Daum, author of Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House"A remarkably assured debut . . . Wicked, witty." —Kirkus Review"Note to Self deftly dissects our Internet addiction, trawling the shallows of the 21st-century noncommittal mind in an engrossing story that both entertains and provokes. Alina Simone is a witty chronicler of our times." —Teddy Wayne, author of The Love Song of Jonny Valentine

When Shady Spring head coach Vince Culicerto popped in the tape of Greenbrier East's loss to Woodrow Wilson last Friday, he was floored by what he saw from the Spartans.
"They are an explosive team," said the Tiger coach. "They've got some weapons, and I think they could have scored a pile more in that game. We knew we were going to be up against a tough bunch."
Seeing it on tape, though, was a whole lot more comfortable than watching it in person.
Greenbrier East (2-1) scored 21 points in the opening quarter and never looked back on its way to a 56-14 thumping of Culicerto's Tigers (0-3) Friday night at H.B. Thomas Stadium. The Spartans racked up 561 yards of offense and showed an improved defensive effort, shutting out Shady until the final quarter.
"We wanted our guys to come out and play hard," said East's second-year head coach Ray Lee. "We put (the Woodrow game) behind us and decided to focus on the rest of our season. All we want to do is improve each week."
Lee's offense, which made much of its noise through the air last week as quarterback Isaiah Kinder set a new school passing record, turned to its ground attack early on against the Tigers.
This time, it was running back Dalton Cline who flirted with a school record. The junior had 232 yards after just six carries, including touchdown runs of 65 and 72 yards in the opening quarter, and ended the game with 257 yards on 14 carries, falling just short of a record set by Seneca Wilmer in 1996 on the same field against the same Tigers.
"It was a great night," said Cline, who shared carries with backup Zayvion Lawson for much of the second half. "We played very well together, and I give credit to my offensive line. They did an amazing job giving me holes. I just tried to hit them as fast as I could and keep my legs moving."
Kinder, who was Class AAA's leading passer coming into Friday's game, struggled to find the mark early on, completing just two of his first 10 passes, but he turned it on after a rough start. He ended the game with 135 yards through the air and threw three touchdown passes, two to Ty Walker and the other to Kamen Reynolds. He also rushed for 102 yards on nine carries as the Spartans.
Fullback Ben Allen got into the action, as well, with a 34-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. East, which had 323 rushing yards at halftime, ended with 426 yards on the ground.
Just as pleasing to the East coach, though, was the play of his defense. The Spartans didn't give up a first down until late in the second quarter and held Shady scoreless through the first three quarters as it built a 56-0 lead.
"We went after the football a lot more and tried to eliminate some mistakes," said Lee. "We made some adjustments, with schemes and personnel."
Shady Spring, which managed just 152 yards of offense and had just 50 at the halftime break, found its first points of 2013 in the fourth quarter when quarterback Timmy Culicerto scored on a keeper from 1-yard out. The Tigers scored again with a little over a minute to play when Jonathan Hardy scored from 13 yards out.
Hardy was one of the lone bright spots for Shady Spring. The junior running back ended the game with 89 yards on 21 carries.
"They were a really good team, but we gave up too many big plays in the first half," said Culicerto. "But in the second half, I thought we hit better and got more aggressive. We played harder and finally got us some points. We'll build on it. We can't crawl in a hole, so we'll just keep trying to get better and fix the mistakes."
Greenbrier East will begin a four-game homestand next week against Perry McCluer, Va. Shady Spring will be at Independence.

Doctor Who: Season Six, Part 1

May 13, 2011ByDoctor_Fan "Doctor_Fan" (The TARDIS) –This review is from: Doctor Who: Season Six, Part 1 (DVD)
I started watching the New Series a few years ago, back when Tennant was the Doctor. I memorized the music, I watched the shows over and over. And when Tennant left, I was sure that no one could ever replace him as the Doctor.
I was wrong. In Season 5, we saw Matt Smith battling aliens and cracks, and always hearing that the "Silence" would fall.
In Season 6, we finally met the Silence in a fantastic two-parter that had me hanging off the edge of my chair. He meets up with some pirates that are being stalked by a homicidal Siren in Episode 3, and there are some interesting twists. I won't go into any more detail, but all three episodes that I have seen so far have been fantastic! This season is shaping up to be one of the best yet, and I look forward to watching (and re-watching) every episode.
A detailed but spoiler-free review,
June 12, 2011ByThis review is from: Doctor Who: Season Six, Part 1 (DVD)
Episode 1: The Impossible Astronaut
Starts things off with a bang (rather literally). The word "impossible" in the title is well-deserved: something you would never have expected to happen really does. Feels more like a typical DW series finale in scope rather than a premiere, and makes for a nice change from the norm. Lots of new plot threads introduced, some new development added to old ones…including the revelation of the Silence, definitely the scariest monster Steven Moffat has created so far.
Episode 2: Day of the Moon
It's hard to believe after watching Episode One, but this episode is even more incredible and jaw-dropping. All the stars get a chance to stretch their acting muscles and add some layers to their characters. Plus, we're treated to what is probably the most shocking cliffhanger ever to be seen in Doctor Who.
Episode 3: The Curse of the Black Spot
Fun but forgettable. A simplistic romp which adds little to the main story arc. It's not terrible, but it falls far short of the show's usual standard of quality (which admittedly was pushed very high by the premiere).
Episode 4: The Doctor's Wife
Definitely the best of this set of episodes. It's so surprising and incredible that I can't say much about it without spoiling the genius of its premise. You aren't a true Whovian unless you've seen this, and even if you're not an avid fan, I guarantee you'll love it.
Episode 5: The Rebel Flesh
An enjoyable return to traditional Who. Very creepy "monsters" (though I'm not sure the term actually applies here). Thought-provoking and engaging. Plus, some things introduced in this episode will become very, very important in the future…
Episode 6: The Almost People
Even better than Part 1 (a rarity in two-part stories). Provides a satisfying, unpredictable conclusion to one of the thorniest ethical dilemmas the Doctor has yet encountered. Some of the FX are a bit over-ambitious, but that doesn't detract from the fun. And finally, we get some more plot development on the main story arc, in the form of yet another gasp-inducing cliffhanger. You really, really won't see this one coming, and you won't be able to keep yourself from downloading the next episode.
Episode 7: A Good Man Goes to War
How should I put this? It's a mixed bag. The first half of the episode feels a bit like a rerun of Journey's End, and there are a few irritating bits and pieces randomly thrown in. Then the Doctor makes a mind-blowing discovery, and the second half changes everything for him and his companions – perhaps permanently. And we finally find out who the mysterious River Song is. If you've been watching very carefully thus far, and if you're the kind of person who sees the solution to mystery novels before you finish them, you may not find the revelation surprising. However, it's no less fascinating, and there will be parts of it you won't have been able to guess beforehand. In addition, we really don't find out everything about her in this episode. It'll be a long, long wait until autumn…
So overall, this first half of Series 6 gets five stars from me. We finally get some real, honest-to-goodness shocks and surprises, and all the main characters are far better developed than they were last year. Order today and enjoy.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Doctor Who: Season Six, Part 1 (DVD)
- the Doctor: "I wear a Stetson now. Stetsons are cool."
All hail DOCTOR WHO, back for this Series 6 and more awesome and mind-warping than ever. And this time there's a neat swerve as show boss and head writer Steven Moffat plonks the Doctor (complete with Stetson on noggin) in the American West. The Doctor's close associates – Amy Pond (the amazing Karen Gillan) and her long-suffering hubby Rory (Arthur Darvill) – each receive an invitation (in Tardis-blue envelopes) from the Doctor and off they go to rendezvous with him in a desert in Utah. The enigmatic time-traveler (and prison inmate), Professor River Song, also shows up, her own invite in hand, and to quote her now: "SPOILERS." They all go have a nice picnic, in the middle of which the Doctor gets murdered by an astronaut emerging from a lake. And Series 6 is off to a twisty start. That bloke, Steven Moffat, seems to think he's some sort of clever clogs, and maybe he is. Amy Pond is absolutely inconsolable; the Doctor had perished before regeneration could initiate. It looks like it's eleven and done.
The fantastic two-parter – "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon" – goes a ways into resolving certain questions left dangling from Series 5. We learn the nature of the Silence, and there are inroads made in fleshing out River Song's back story and her connection to the Doctor. As usual, this series plays fast and loose with time and space, and that's in a good way. Temporally, the venue shifts from the present to the year 1969, and, as the Doctor cautions his friends: "A lot more happens in '69 than anyone remembers." In 1969 the Doctor and his companions stroll into the Oval Office and meet a President Nixon early into his term and receiving constant phone calls from a terribly frightened little girl. In two episodes chock full of swerves, one of the really surprising ones is that Nixon comes across as a fairly likable guy. On two occasions he actually intervenes on our protagonists' behalf.
We learn the true reason behind man's quest to reach the moon, and also that America had long been occupied by a race of malevolent aliens, aliens that lurk in the corner of your eyes and had been surviving off man's accomplishments from the very beginning. And I'll tell the world that these boogeymen are easily as terrifying as the weeping angels. Like the weeping angels, these aliens in 1969 possess a disturbing and creepy knack for distorting perception. How the companions get around that, and how the Doctor ultimately gets the best of the aliens are simply some of the biggest grin getting experiences in my time watching this show. Matt Smith brings his usual eccentric and lively take on the Doctor, and, in his interpretation, there's a sense of an old soul inhabiting a giddy young body. And Smith really is terrific in those rousing "Gotcha!" moments. "Silence will fall." Indeed.
There are so many things to love about this two-parter. British aplomb rubs elbows with American bravado, and results in dynamic synergy. And maybe it's this more impartial perspective from overseas that lends a refreshing feel to this 1960s era. As mentioned, Nixon comes off in a good light. The episodes also benefit from the presence of FBI Agent Delaware, and the final exchange between him and Nixon in "Day of the Moon" is priceless. I love the notion of the two time travelers – the Doctor and River Song – having to sync up their diaries each time they meet. I love the sheer scope of the story, the ballsiness of it, and the constant shifts from chilling horror to political drama to slam bang sci-fi thriller. I also love that, unlike the ninth and tenth Doctor, this one looks to last a bit longer. At least until he meets a sinister Apollo astronaut. I'm loving Series 6 so far; these first two episodes come very strong. As usual the show thrives on the element of surprise. And if we know Steven Moffat, clever clogs that he is, there are even more epic surprises in store.
Just don't expect it from the third episode, "The Curse of the Black Spot." With the Tardis behaving all wonky, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory are stranded onboard a 17th century pirate ship of which crew members are being steadily decimated by a beguiling (but homicidal) sea siren. On this ship, one tiny bloody scratch spells doom. But, as usual, things aren't what they seem. Maybe the best bit in this episode is Amy Pond, sword in hand, taunting the ship's understandably cautious crew: "What kind of rubbish pirates are ye?" A decent episode, but not all that.
Episode 4 makes up for episode 3′s lack. "The Doctor's Wife" raises the possibility of other living Time Lords as the Doctor and his companions track a distress signal emanating from a bubble universe. The story begins with a knock at the door even as the Tardis hurtles thru deep, deep space. "The Doctor's Wife" hits those wonderful emotional beats I've come to expect; and, in…

Nederland's Bulldogs got very defensive Friday night when protecting its long District 20-4A winning streak.
Nederland won its 18th straight 20-4A game after defeating Vidor 31-10 at Bulldog Stadium.
Jeff Mathews and his Pirates came into the contest averaging 448.7 yards a game with 400 yards coming on the ground.
The Bulldogs held the Pirates to 138 yards on the ground on 42 carries. Vidor could only muster up 42 yards in the first half.
"We played some excellent defense in the first half," Nederland Coach Larry Neumann said. "The defensive side of the ball tonight speaks for itself. I would have felt fortunate if we went into the half only up 3-0 but our offense was able to make some big plays. We were able to run the ball when everyone in the stadium knew we were going to run the ball. That signals you are a pretty good football team."
Nederland's Kendrick Hopkins, who rushed for 108 yards on 21 carries, fumbled the ball way to Vidor (2-2, 0-1) on the Bulldogs' first play from scrimmage.
Vidor took over on the Bulldogs 19-yard line yet the Nederland (3-1, 1-0) defense held the Pirates to a 21-yard field goal by Michael Tamayor.
"Our defense played a great series at that point in the game to hold them to a field goal," Neumann said.
Vidor was up 3-0 heading into the second before Nederland's offense started to explode with points.
Sage Seay first hauled in a 19-yard pass from Preston White. Then Colton Kimler got into the action with a 16-yard touchdown reception before Marcus Barton, who rushed for 118 yards on five carries, rushed for a 35-yard touchdown scamper.
Nederland's offense put the Bulldogs up 21-3 at the break.
"Those guys did an unbelievable job on defense," Mathews said. "We had blown assignments and fumbled snaps. We didn't need to give those guys any help. We never did anything to help ourselves tonight and those guys don't need help. I felt our guys were never ready to play. I have one job here at Vidor and that is to make sure the team is ready to play. That didn't happen tonight."
Vidor's offense did come out looking a lot different in the third quarter as the Pirates first drive of the second half ended with a touchdown.
The touchdown drive took 13 plays, 5:55 off the clock and ended with Alex Boutte scoring from eight yards out.
The score remained the same until Nederland put the game on ice in the fourth. Tight end Brandon Dial ran into the endzone from 54 yards out and Tanner Noel 23-yard field goal.
Neumann applauded his offense for being patient on the night and taking advantage of the big plays against Vidor.
"Marcus was fired up tonight," Neumann said. "He did a great job and so did Brandon Dial. The thing about Brandon people forget is how great a blocker he is."
Nederland quarterback Preston White continued his solid play for the Bulldogs by completing 9-of-12 passes with one interception and two touchdowns. Sage Seay hauled in four receptions for 57 yards while teammate Colton Kimler had three catches for 45 yards.
As for the long district winning streak that dates back to 2010, Neumann said his team is only focused on the future.
"We have not even mentioned it," Neumann added. "I know about it and the kids know about it. We just don't talk about it. We are focused on the now and if we stay healthy, I think we are going to develop into a pretty darn good football team."
Mathews was also already looking to the future, just in a different way.
"We are going to practice Saturday morning," Mathews said. "We have to forget about this game in a hurry. I don't want to sit around all weekend and think about this loss. I want it out of our minds. I want to fix these mistakes and move on."
Vidor running back Sage Smith led the Pirates with 93 yards on 16 carries. Haylon Lecklet had 35 yards on nine carries. Smith also came up with a fumble recovery while Bret Hall was the Pirates defender who picked off White.
Vidor will be at home next week against Beaumont Ozen while Nederland hits the road to face Livingston.

QUESTION: Is the Big Bird Debate in the presidential race getting out of control?
Poor Big Bird.
Once a tall, yellow puppet in America's most kid-friendly neighborhood, the Sesame Street icon has now found himself (we think it's a him) at the center of the ugliest of contests: the presidential race.
After Republican challenger Mitt Romney stated that he'd cut funding to PBS during the last debate, Big Bird has become a poticial lightening rod. The comment set off a flurry of Tweets the night of the debate and became part of the water-cooler discussion the following day.
Yes. Big Bird. The nasaly, 7-foot-tall creature who mingles with the likes of Elmo and Snuffaluffagus.
Now, his name is under discussion in The Beltway by such political personalities as James Carville and Fox News.
The reason? President Barack Obama's campaign has hammered Romney's Big Bird reference to highlight the challenger's fiscal priorities.
"Thank God someone is getting tough on Big Bird," Obama said during a stump speech last week in Denver. "We didn't know Big Bird was driving the deficit."
The campaign even released a television ad that's ruffling some feathers. (No pun intended)
(Click on the media gallery to view the ad)
But the Romney campaign counters that it's a sad commentary when the president cares more about a kid-oriented puppet rather than fixing the economy.
On Tuesday, Big Bird was all the talk among D.C. media. "Obama's Big Bird Bet," read Politico.com's top story for much of the day.
The political spotlight on the winged celebrity became so intense that Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit group behind Sesame Street, asked the president's campaign to remove the television ad, saying that it's a nonpartisan organization.
Ad or not, the fact is Big Bird has been thrust into the center of the race for the country's highest office.
We ask you, Patch users, is the debate over Big Bird in the presidential race out of control? Which candidate comes out looking worse? Tell us in the comments below.

A word from Inakaya
Our original restaurant in Japan was established and opened its first door in the heart of Roppongi, Tokyo in 1970, as the traditional "Robata-yaki" restaurant. Since then, Inakaya has been loved by substantial numbers of distinguished personalities, comprising of former President of the United
States, Hollywood stars, and other celebrities and the epicureans from around the world for more than 30 years. "Robata" is the Japanese term that stands for "around a sunken hearth" and "yaki" means "grilling". Families used to gather around the hearth for dinner, which evolved into "Robata-yaki" style. It is known as a type of traditional cuisine, which features fresh ingredients grilled in proximity of guests' own eyes. Foods are cooked on open-flame, its ancient but healthy grilling method of dropping excess oil has attained its popularity, and has spread throughout Japan. And now it comes to New York!
Please note this online reservation is for the Robata counter seating.

I have been there for few time
with my friends and we all liked it. However, this time, the food is not as fresh as before. We have tried prefixed menu-- sashimi and black cod fish. It is not fresh enough like before. Little disappointed at this time."
Dined on 7/22/2014
Excellent services, delicious
food, definitely will return again"
Dined on 7/22/2014
$30-ish for a sashimi lunch with
soup or salad (not both) is pretty steep, but the quality is excellent. We also got the tuna sashimi selection for $32, and was likewise first rate, but it only included 5 pieces. They do the shouted greetings and goodbyes whenever someone enters or leaves like the do in Japan, and that is kind of fun, and adds to the energetic vibe in the place. Lots of NYC sushi restaurants are like mausoleums."

Nice to have a different
experience in the city and they produced it for you. Would repeat."

Nice open space and great staff
add to a very nice dining experience - definitely get the Masu delivered to you on a paddle and the head on tail on shrimp were the largest I have ever seen - and quite yummy - the kobe skewers, however were a little underwhelming."

Inakaya had a fantastic atmosphere

It was wanderful to find that
Manhatan had a Tepan House in the same traditional style I've seen in Japan. Good food, good service, good entertainment. I definitely recommend."
Dined on 6/22/2014
I've been to Inakaya three times
with different people, and we've all loved it every time. In some ways, it resembles a Japanese tapas place--quite different from, and to my mind much more intersting than, a traditional Japanese restaurant, though it does have sushi and sashimi for those who like that. The service is friendly and the place is lively without being too noisy to conduct a conversation. It's convenient to theater or movies in the Times Square area, but note that, though it has an Eighth Avenue address, it is actually located midway between Seventh and Eighth on 40th."
Dined on 6/19/2014
I had made a reservation for lunch
before taking my 10 year old nephew to see Newsie..in next block so booked for convenience and sushi is one of the few foods he loves. Never expected the fun greeting and atmosphere...great energy in the place! And it really entertained my nephew til show time. The sushi was like butter...melted in your mouth....will definitely go back!"

Great food, friendly service,
nice, clean place....had a very good time with my friend."

I loved the experience! Dining as
theatre. This is a true Japanese Robata, exactly as I was fortunate enough to experience, when I had the opportunity to work for a month in Tokyo. Very different than other Japanese restaurants, but don't worry. The sushi is great and the other dishes are as well. I went with my son and we had a great time."
Dined on 6/12/2014
We went on June 4, 2014 for
dinner, however, the waitress was so rude and unreasonable! We went for a BUSINESS dinner, and booked for a table for 12ppl (I booked via opentable and called to cfm the seats for a big group to sit together after making reservation in the afternoon), but when we arrived she asked us to sit in two different tables, and then she was being UNREASONABLE and VERY RUDE the whole evening! Worse waitress we have ever had! This was not our first time there for business dinner/lunch and certainly not the first time we went as a big group, however, first time ever to be asked to sit in different tables. We were very disappointed the way Inakaya treat their customers. "

very good experience, best
japanese food and food ever. the combo is also good"

The food was so so. It was
dissapointing since I was expecting more minding the good review. "
Dined on 5/27/2014
We just returned from a trip to
Japan and while we were in the city we decided to go looking for food that was as close as we could get to having Japanese food again. We came across this establishment and upon walking in and hearing the Japanese greetings being called out when we entered was a welcome sign. The Robata area towards the back of the restaurant was exactly how a similar area in Japan would be set up as well. Even the facilities contained within the restaurant were true to a Japanese establishment. The food was prepared well and we enjoyed being able to take a slight trip down memory lane by eating here. "
Dined on 5/25/2014
The food was very good. Large
selection of items. Made mochi for entertainment."

I have met with business
colleagues for lunch at Inakaya for over 5-7 years. The standard is always superior, service is excellent and quality of food is beyond words. Highly recommended for business meetings. I have invited overseas colleagues from the UK & Australia at this location and they all loved it. A classy and sophisticated choice."
Dined on 5/22/2014
Tucked around the corner of 40th
Street off 8th Ave, its the perfect place to have dinner before the theatre. Portions are large so sharing is advised. Delicious sushi."
Dined on 5/15/2014
Food is great, service is
entertaining - an overall magnificent experience! I will definitely come again next time I visit NY!"
Dined on 5/9/2014
Out of the six things that we
tried to order at 6 PM, they were out of three, including red bean ice cream. Who runs out of ice cream when you can simply keep it in the freezer? We also felt rushed by the server, who was setting up our seats for the next diners before we even finished our desserts. The food was also overpriced. That being said, the sashimi was nice and the Kobe beef skewers were excellent. However, the salmon skin was not crispy at all. Lastly, the seaweed salad was tasteless, and I'm pretty sure that two of the alleged five different types of seaweed were the same, but dyed different colors."
Dined on 5/7/2014
the food was great, the layout of
the restaurant is open & nice, the waiters could have been a bit more attentive and both the waiters & the chefs were very loud, yelling japanese to each other, which i suppose is part of the atmosphere, but it was difficult to have a conversation when they started yelling things like: "ahhsoooHAAA" to each other SO loud we couldn't even hear each other, as well as banging on wood. it got to be annoying and we ended up leaving early because of it."
Dined on 5/1/2014
The location makes this place
great for before a show, its also a large space so allows for groups easily without feeling crammed in. Its not overly fancy. We ordered the prefix which was good, they substituted my sushi for sashimi even though it said no substitutions. Desert came out a bit slow since we needed to get to a show. Overall, i would recommend for a casual dinner before a play. Also, would love if they would add a few "special" rolls to the menu as the sushi menu consists of the regular sushi options only. Lots of options for the non sushi eater tho!"
Dined on 4/29/2014
We were in NYC for the weekend,
walked by the restaurant on our way to back to our hotel, and decided to go back for dinner the next night. Servers were very attentive, and the food was great, including the sushi and sashimi. Try the grilled tuna - fresh and fabulous!"

The bar is a great. It is not a
traditional bar but one where you are eating and being served with long platters/tray. Its very interesting being so close as they prepare your food its kind of like Benihana but no heat and bit more upscale. Its a very entertaining restaurant. The Japanese BBQ is very tasty and healthy."

We wanted sushi and our hotel
recommended this restaurant. We then reviewed on Open Table. We were not disappointed. My client and I enjoyed our selections and would eat here again next time in NYC."

fun place, extremely loud, but sit

Fantastic grilled fish & veg,
fresh & delicicious sashimi, and deadly boxes of cold sake around the hearth, served up on boards to your eager grasp. Different, fun and delicious pre-theater or game!"

Just a short walk from Penn
Station. Inakaya's sushi was very good and reasonably priced. The service is excellent."

Being a Japanese, must say the
quality of sashimi was good compared the other Japanese restaurants in the city. However, the price is just too much especially the sashimi and the robata. I can guarantee you that eating here means paying the priciest robata and robata isn't a food you need to pay up for."

We went here several times and
were satisfied. But this time it was a poor experience due to very poor service: - first no menu were given to us - then waitress forgot our order, mixed up with computer for 30', and it ended our appetizer finally arrived after the entrees! - food that is generally good was not cooked properly: squid under cooked and fish over cooked Bad experience this time that doesn't reflect the general quality of this restaurant"

Would have been a great experience
however there was a bone, not that small, in a piece of sashimi. Unacceptable for a higher end restaurant."

By Leeann Akers - Editor
Jan. 9, 2013 — Most motorists don't notice the grates covering drainage areas beside the highway … until those grates are gone.
Allen Blair, public information officer with the Department of Transportation District 9, says theft of those grates has become a problem on several levels.
"We have a number of missing grates across the district on several different roads," Blair said. "We are currently doing a district-wide inventory and closely working with local law enforcement to make sure that the people who take grates are prosocuted."
Preventing these thefts is very important to the DOT, since theft means more cost to taxpayers.
Each grate, which may only bring a thief around $100 at a scrap yard, can cost the state thousands of dollars to replace.
"Each grate is a different size or shape, so they have to be made specifically for that particular opening," Blair said. "The more money we have to spend replacing these things, the less we have for other road repairs."
The Department of Transportation maintains roads with monies that come from gasoline sales.
Surprisingly water, and not use, is what does the most damage to state roads.
"Water creates potholes and does damage underneath roads," Blair explained. "Grates keep debris from getting into the drainage system. Without the grates there is a greater risk of flooding and damage on those roads."
Blair also said that a missing grate leaves an empty hole into the drainage system. Some holes are shallow, but others are quite deep, which could lead to major injuries and death of unsuspecting motorists.
