Tanaka twirls 4-hit gem, Yankees hit 2 homers and spoil Montero's debut with 4-0 win over Mets
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Masahiro Tanaka has been every bit the ace the New York Yankees went shopping for last winter.
Tanaka pitched a four-hitter for his first major league shutout and the Yankees got home runs from Yangervis Solarte and Mark Teixeira on Wednesday night, snapping a four-game skid with a 4-0 victory over the Mets.
"Overall, I think that today was my best day," Tanaka said through a translator.
Brian Roberts tripled twice and the Yankees finally beat their crosstown rivals after dropping six straight meetings.
The Mets took all four Subway Series games last year and won two slugfests in the Bronx this week. Back home at spacious Citi Field, however, their bats went silent again.
"You asked me about the home run barrage? We hit three of them tonight. They were just in the wrong park," manager Terry Collins said.
Tanaka (6-0) overwhelmed the Mets with his vast assortment of pitches while spoiling Rafael Montero's big league debut. The latest to arrive in a line of touted Mets pitching prospects, Montero threw six competitive innings but was no match for the $155 million rookie from Japan.
"In some ways, this is a David-and-Goliath matchup. One guy's never lost and the other guy's never pitched," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said before the game. "So, it's interesting. We'll see how many rocks Rafael's got."
Not enough.
Tanaka is 34-0 combined in Japan and North America over his last 42 regular-season starts. He did lose Game 6 of the Japan Series last year — before earning a save in Game 7.
"I just go up there and basically try to win every single game," Tanaka said.
The right-hander struck out eight and walked none, throwing 114 pitches during his first complete game in the majors. He lowered his ERA to 2.17 and gave the Yankees' taxed bullpen a much-needed break.
"I knew what was coming, but I couldn't hit it," Daniel Murphy said. "He's commanding all his pitches to all zones. The splitter is the equalizer. You don't see it that much, someone using it in any count like that."
Tanaka became the first Yankees rookie to begin his career 6-0 as a starter since Hall of Famer Whitey Ford went 9-0 in 1950. That sort of dependability has been sorely needed, with the Yankees already missing CC Sabathia and two other injured starters.
"He's been special," manager Joe Girardi said.
Tanaka even singled in the ninth inning for his first major league hit — giving him one more than Mets pitchers have in 64 at-bats this season.
Asked what the highlight of the night was for him, Tanaka smiled.
"The first hit," he said, kidding.
Girardi said Tanaka's teammates "loved it" and gave the pitcher some good-natured ribbing.
"He's got an idea," Girardi said. "He wears a shin guard."
Montero (0-1) allowed three runs and five hits. He struck out three and walked two after getting called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to step into the rotation slot previously held by Jenrry Mejia, who was moved to the bullpen.
The slim right-hander fanned Derek Jeter in the third for his first strikeout, but was hurt by his defence an inning earlier. With a runner on first and Tanaka on deck, left fielder Eric Young Jr. made an ill-advised dive in trying to catch Roberts' sinking liner with two outs.
The ball got past Young and went to the wall, allowing Solarte to score as Roberts cruised into third with his first triple.
Solarte, the AL's leading hitter, sent a solo homer to right in the fourth. He has 23 RBIs in his rookie season, tops on the team.
"He just keeps thrilling us all, in a sense," Girardi said.
Teixeira lifted Montero's second pitch of the sixth to right-centre for his eighth home run and seventh in his last 15 games.
Jeter's infield single, a dribbler that barely travelled 20 feet out in front of home plate, scored Brett Gardner in the seventh.
"I knew that we were in a little funk, losing four in a row, and I also knew that we hadn't won a Subway Series in a while. So yes, I did want to go out there and try to get a win for us," Tanaka said.
NOTES: Yankees RF Carlos Beltran (right elbow) was still unavailable but reserve outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (back) was feeling better, Girardi said. ... Sabathia had his sore right knee drained and the Yankees hope he can return as soon as his 15-day stint on the disabled list is up, Girardi said. Sabathia was examined by Dr. James Andrews and is receiving treatment. ... The Mets plan to commemorate Jeter's final regular-season Subway Series game Thursday.

While the addition of Xerox to the Barbourville business listing started off with 50 new jobs brought into the city — that was only the beginning.
On Wednesday, March 5, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Xerox, in partnership with KCEOC Community Action Partnership, will hold a job fair — a fair that will help to fill 90 new positions that have opened with the firm, according to Brandy Crase, advancement manager with KCEOC.
The company will hire for second-shift and third-shift positions.
Interested persons should go March 5 to the KCEOC WIA office at 464 Court Square in Barbourville.
Those applying must pass a required Federal Bureau of Investigations background check, a personal credit check, a drug test and have either a high school diploma or a GED.
If interested in applying, then bring a driver's license, a Social Security card and a resume.
Xerox is an equal-opportunity employer.
Barbourville City Council members heard the good news about Xerox in July.
The former Infinity Business Group building is housed on a road bearing the name "Infinity Road" — and that's where Xerox set up shop to begin its Barbourville operation.
The name of the road housing this new company will now be known as "Partnership Drive."
This branch of the Xerox Corporation will deal in government-related contract work.
This project took about a year and a half to come to fruition.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A national activity index swung into positive territory in November, the Chicago Fed said Friday. The index, designed so that zero readings indicate trend growth, rose to +0.10 from a downwardly revised negative 0.64 in October, helped by a recovery in industrial output after Hurricane Sandy. The three-month moving average was negative for the ninth straight time, rising to negative 0.20 from negative 0.59. When the three-month moving average falls below negative 0.70, there's an increasing chance a recession has already begun. The index is a weighted average of 85 different economic indicators.

Four join elite roster
- Last Updated on 08:01 AM 04/14/14
- BY Doug Ford
The Halifax County-South Boston Sports Hall of Fame added four stellar athletes to its roster Saturday night, with Jerry Brooks, Ronnie Chappell, Joseph Johnson and Dale Ramey getting the call.
Jerry Brooks, a flashy ball handler and prolific scorer, led the varsity basketball team to the VHSL AAA state championship game his senior season in 1973.
Former Comets basketball standout and teammate Brad Ballou, who presented Brooks for induction, said stats could easily be achieved if there is only one good player on a team.
Brooks, he added, played on teams that had "at least four guys every year with full rides."
"We were playing against good teams," added Ballou, with players such as Jeff Crompton, John Lucas and Moses Malone, all of whom enjoyed collegiate and/or professional basketball careers.
"He (Brooks) didn't only score, he passed the ball and everything else. He used his head, had flash and confidence."
"When Brooks had the basketball, he was a leader," added Ballou.
"I bet Jerry Brooks was the most exciting, flashiest basketball player I've ever seen."
Brooks said he couldn't have accomplished his success alone, citing teammates such as Jack Crews, Calvin Crews and Ballou.
"You can't be successful without good people around you, or you won't make it in anything you do," said Brooks.
He recalled the support of his parents, his mother coming to away games and his father coming to home games.
Brooks recalled some advice his mother gave him.
"If you think you can do it, you can do it, all you have to do is try," he remembered his mother telling him.
"I was just ecstatic," said Brooks when he got the call for the Hall of Fame.
"I thought the Hall of Fame was out of my reach."
Brooks still displays the same determination that made him one of the all-time top scorers in Halifax County High School basketball history, according to Hall of Fame President Carlyle Wimbish.
Brooks underwent major lung surgery barely two weeks ago, Wimbush said, with a recovery time estimated at between six to eight weeks.
"I'm going to be there at the Hall of Fame if the Lord is willing," Brooks told Wimbish.
"Jerry should receive a plaque for courage," Wimbish said.
Former Comets head football coach Coleman Starnes remembered Hall of Fame inductee Ronnie Chappell competing for a spot on the varsity squad as a sophomore.
His competitive spirit won him a starting spot ahead of a senior, Starnes recalled.
Ironically, that senior rode to school each day with Chappell, with Chappell constantly reminding him he'd be challenging him.
"After the third or fourth week, the man in front of him told me he was tired of this and to give him the position," Starnes said of Chappell's persistence.
"He's probably the only player who made all-state on both offense and defense," continued Starnes in citing Chappell's success as a football player.
"He had more heart and was more aggressive than any player could be."
Chappell had a number of humorous anecdotes prepared for Saturday night.
Chappell comes from of a family of football linemen, including his father and brothers Eddie, Jack and Jim, all of whom influenced his football career.
His father, a noted Halifax physician who played football at Randolph-Macon College during the late 1930s, used football "as a ticket to a college education and a better life," noted Chappell.
"No doubt playing with my brothers enhanced my career," said Chappell.
The football player turned reporter and communications specialist cited newspaper reports of his receiving credit for a fumble recovery in the end zone during the Northwest Regional football championship game in 1969.
One of his twin brothers actually recovered the ball, according to Chappell, who with a tongue-in-cheek comeback asked for a correction in the coming week.
While poking fun at his high school basketball, football and track teammates, Chappell noted their part in motivating him to achieve what he has in athletics.
Part of one of the most successful varsity football teams in school history, Chappell said he was grateful to his talented teammates and coaches for setting the bar so high.
It took courage for Joseph Johnson and William Leigh to try out for an all-white football team, Chappell said to fellow inductee Johnson.
"Joe played hard and tough, was quick to laugh and smile and was good to his teammates," noted Chappell.
"I'm really proud to enter the Hall of Fame at his side."
Through sports, Chappell said he "acquired the confidence that comes with doing something hard and learned to move past defeats and disappointments."
"I realized if I worked at something long enough and hard enough, that eventually life will succeed.
"That's a great, great gift to take out into life."
Bristol Martin, long-time track coach at Halifax County High School, presented track and football standout Joseph Johnson for induction into the Hall of Fame.
Martin cited a long list of Johnson's accomplishments on and off the field, and continuing through a long and successful military career.
A freshman at Halifax County High School in 1967 under the Freedom of Choice period, Johnson was one of only two African-Americans on the varsity football team in 1969.
A three-sport athlete in high school, Johnson recalled a pivotal moment in his life occurring after a tough loss as the anchor in the one-mile relay team during a track meet against GW High School.
"I lost, but by putting out that effort I fell on the ground heaving and gasping for air," he recalled.
"What followed after that is etched in my mind for a long time.
"Fellow inductee Ronnie Chappell came to me, picked me up and helped me to the bus," Johnson continued.
Much has been made of he and William Leigh being the only two African-American players on the varsity football team, Johnson said, but not enough about the integrity, hard work and sportsmanship one learns in sports while doing your job to the fullest.
"We found safety and solace in the classrooms. Those lessons have piloted us to great endeavors, added Johnson.
"I'm bewildered by this opportunity to demonstrate my gratitude at the highest level…I consider it a privilege to be selected for this honor.
Louie Seabolt, a 2013 inductee into the Hall of Fame and a football teammate of 2014 inductee Dale Ramey, wondered why it took so long for Ramey to be inducted.
One of the all-time great Comets running backs, Ramey was all-district and all-state in 1959, receiving scholarship offers from 25 colleges and universities before electing to attend Duke University.
Dale Ramey was all-everything in football in the state of Virginia in 1959," said Seabolt.
Seabolt noted Ramey's success in sports, but also as a husband, father and businessman.
"He belongs in the family, husband, business and athletic hall of fames," Seabolt noted, describing a situation where one of seven factories opened by Ramey had to close, putting almost 500 people out of work.
"He helped them all find jobs," said Seabolt.
Ramey gave credit to his high school teammates for his success on the football field, and related a number of stories from his high school basketball and track career.
Ramey spoke with pride of his family, including the successful athletic endeavors of his grandchildren, while noting the changes in the sports landscape since his days in high school and college.
He credited local sportswriters including the late Hugh Moore and the late Addison Marable for "doing so much for us in the late 50s and 60s."
"They took some of our bad faults and made us look good," he said.
His Hall of Fame selection is an example of "better than I deserve," admitted a humble Ramey.
"I was more athletically gifted than I deserve and have a great family better than I deserve," Ramey noted.

So Ohio is putting teachers on notice who teach at low performing schools to take special licensing tests? Teachers are educated people trying to impart wisdom to a diversified group of students. Let's be real. How does the socio-economic culture in which these students live affect them? How much television is viewed in their homes rather than studying, reading, enjoying time with their families in a healthy manner? How many of these students have totally dysfunctioning families? Perhaps the parents of the low performing schools need to take special licensing tests to be parents. It is not my opinion that all children in low performing schools have detrimental issues at home. All it takes is a few students who do not participate appropriately in a classroom to put great demands on a teacher. Teachers are just that teachers, not social workers. Stop making teachers scapegoats for the problems in our society reflected in test scores.

XXXMatch : Adult Dating Site Review
XXXMatch.com is all about the fun experience (as online dating should be) and introduces you to an odd selection of 3D characters to choose from: men, women, couples, gay couples and lesbian couples. Different photos pop up for each category the longer you wait, and you can see a variety of possibilities, from a cowboy couple to some chubby lesbians, to a naked man covered only by a pillow. XXXMatch is affiliated with the same network as www.AffairsClub.com
The website is graphic friendly and lets you choose the type of sex you are interested, showing a thumbnail movie of various lovers demonstrating the act in question. A bikini clad talking 3D girl invites you to fill out the personal questionnaire and infuses some humor into the questionnaire, which is a nice touch. Your bikini girl guide takes you to a vocal tour of the members room and introduces all of your options: mail, search, XXX theater (with over 10,000 movies), webcam, member videos, chat rooms and message boards. The site also links to the Virtual Sex World social networking site with X-rated avatars.
Chances of Finding a Date
The site does not give any information as to its members, though it assures new users that any given time 300 or so horny matches are currently online. There is no guarantee offered on service.
There are no special safety options available at the site, though users can chat and email anonymous with the internal email and chat system.
Value for Money
Trial service for this adult dating site is $1.95 though the monthly gold price is relatively low at $12.50 (at 12 months). Three months worth runs you $23.32, while regular monthly building is $34.95. The silver membership is slightly less expensive at $19.98 a month for three months or $29.95 a month. The service is relatively new and the site features for new members are generous. Users can immediately view full profiles but must upgrade to contact other members.
Ease of Use
Going through the site is easy thanks to graphics and animation pointing you to the right place. However, there are numerous distractions on the page including porn links, webcam links and other adult features that could accidentally disconnect you from the website.
The Search
Despite the attractive search page, you have limited options when compared to other sites. You do get a few more search fields when you sign up for premium membership, including the ability to choose body preferences, ethnicity and lifestyle habits. The site has a very attractive interface, though because of its newness, it can't be expected to compare with larger member sites.

Obama's proposal will cost jobs, raise rates
Today President Obama announced he will require the EPA to change the current laws on coal-fired electric plants that will put hundreds of thousands of workers out of their jobs, followed in turn by reduced electric supply (brown outs) and greatly increased electric bills.
During President Obama's 2008 campaign, he promised to "bankrupt" the coal-fired electric companies. (The remainder of this letter I wrote to the editor on Nov. 23, 2009.)
What Obama's supporters are so naive about is that the U.S.A. has already done more than our fair share in reducing emissions. I remember flying along the eastern seaboard, both with Trans World Airlines and as a pilot for the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, how restricted the visibility was.
Gradually, from 1970 to about 1980. the visibility improved on the East Coast to a point it was no longer a factor in Visual Flight Rules (VFW) flying. Smog is now a rarity in Los Angeles.
Not so in the rest of the world. When you fly over Southeastern China on a cloudless day, you cannot see the ground from 35,000 feet. In Shanghai, I can rarely see the other high-rise buildings one mile away, from my hotel window. India is no better. I have not seen VFR weather in Delhi or Mumbai. Lima, Peru, has far worse smog conditions than LA ever did. In Lima and Mumbai, you can smell the air.
Much to his chagrin, Obama cannot control the rest of the world. He just apologies for the U.S.A. being U.S.A. There's no carbon tax on China, India, etc, just tax the USA companies who have already outspent their overseas competitors 1,000 to 1 to improve our air. U.S. companies have no choice but to pass on this tax and only Americans will pay it, not the foreigners, as t.ey will not be buying our overpriced products due to a carbon tax.

PAUL CHITWOOD: Ruling on same-sex marriage defies state constitution
News that U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn once again usurped the will of Kentucky voters is tragic and disappointing. By declaring gay marriage legal in the commonwealth, Heyburn defied the essential, foundational governing document that ensures order and justice, the Constitution of Kentucky.
More difficult
In a state like Kentucky with the number of adults who have not graduated from high school is much higher than the national average, undereducated adults have been encouraged to earn high-school equivalency degrees by studying for, taking and passing the General Educational Development (GED) test.
Primary election sends messages
The voters — or at least the minority who took the time to go to the polls Tuesday — have spoken, with Boyd County voters sending mixed messages in the county-wide races that gathered the most attention.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A judge has granted Katy Perry and Russell Brand a divorce, although the pair won't be legally split up until July.
RELATED: The hottest Grammy couples
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marc Marmaro signed the judgment Wednesday, less than six weeks after Brand filed for divorce and one day after Perry filed paperwork stating that she and Brand have agreed on all financial issues.
The exact terms of the breakup are confidential.
Brand, Perry and Marmaro all signed the judgment Wednesday, court records show. The couple will become legally single again on July 14 because California law requires that couples wait at least six months after filing before their divorce can be finalized.
The judgment calls for Perry's maiden name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, to be restored.
RELATED: Hair lessons from the Grammys
Neither Brand, a British actor and comedian, nor Perry, a pop superstar, indicated in court filings when they separated.
They were married in October 2010 in a lavish wedding at a resort inside a tiger reserve in India.
Their wedding came at a high-point for both of their careers. Brand was introduced to U.S. audiences after hosting the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and has since starred in films including "Arthur,"
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek."
Perry has turned out a string of pop hits, including "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," and is scheduled to perform at Sunday night's Grammy Awards. She has also been nominated for two awards for her song "Firework."

Editorial: Seattle should impose controls on 'aPodments' and conduct larger housing review
The surge in "aPodment" micro-housing is a savvy solution to high rent, but the city of Seattle needs to quickly tighten control on the loosely regulated buildings.
Seattle Times Editorial
THE ballooning cost of rent in Seattle has provoked the return of an old solution: the itsy-bitsy, dirt-cheap, single-tenant rental unit.
Just as the single-room occupancies, or SROs, of Pioneer Square served workers a century ago, today's surging supply of micro-apartments, or "aPodments," are a savvy, market-based relief valve for an overpriced housing market.
Students and low-wage workers are snatching up the 200-square-foot units as fast as they are built. At $500 or $600 a month, aPodments cost half as much as a regular apartment, even if they are little more than a bed and a bathroom.
But it's time for policymakers to take a breath and consider the impact of micro-housing.
Most of the 2,100-or-so aPodments built in Seattle since 2006 cropped up within a loophole in the city building code.
It counts kitchens, not beds, as housing units, and aPodment buildings usually have one kitchen for every eight units.
Buildings with fewer than nine kitchens aren't subject to the same official review as traditional apartment buildings. That effectively allows aPodments to dodge design and environmental scrutiny.
A 56-unit building can pop up with no consideration for its fit in a neighborhood, or impact on sewers or parking, because the city's Department of Planning and Development sees it as an eight-kitchen building.
Meanwhile, another arm of city government — the Office of Housing — was granting affordable-housing tax exemptions to aPodments based on the number of units, not the number of kitchens.
The two city agencies admitted last week they'd known for months that aPodment developers were gaming the system, but didn't stop it. That's a failure of Mayor Mike McGinn's administration.
The Seattle City Council is now being asked for a moratorium on aPodments.
A better approach is to quickly institute short-term controls, including streamlined design reviews for all aPodments, and begin a larger assessment of Seattle's growing need for affordable housing.
It's worth remembering that the SROs of yore aged into poorly maintained fire traps. Today's developers should heed history. Build, and maintain, for the future, not just the present.

Now it all makes sense.
A couple of years ago, I wrote a column in which I described how my then 11-year-old daughter and I got tossed out of the Kansas City Chiefs office complex. It was in July, and we were attending a get-together before a Kansas City Royals baseball game. Because Emma was bored, the two of us decided to take a walk.
As we got to the edge of the parking lot we noticed that the Chief's outdoor practice fields were just down the hill from where we standing. Emma asked if we could walk down the hill and get a closer look at the fields. Because there was no one around, I figured it wouldn't hurt, so I agreed. We walked down the hill and walked along the fence that surrounds the fields. Emma had several friends who were big Chiefs fans and she figured they would be impressed that she was standing so close to where their favorite team practices.
Then Emma noticed the office complex at the top of the hill. I told Emma that the Chiefs also had an indoor practice area.
"Can we go look at it?" she asked.
Again, because there didn't appear to be anyone around, I figured it wouldn't hurt to walk up so Emma could get a glimpse of the building. We walked up the hill and onto the sidewalk, passed the main entrance to the office building and walked toward the indoor practice area at the far end of the building.
That's when I saw the security guard quickly coming our way. The guard was polite and, it seemed, a little embarrassed. He asked us what we were doing. I told him Emma just wanted to look around. The guard told us we were on private property. I told him I understood and apologized. Then he said, "The executives wanted to know who you were." He then told us we would have to leave.
At the time I remember thinking that the "executives" were a little bit paranoid if the sight of a middle-age guy and his 11-year-old walking the outside of the building like a couple of tourists unnerved them. Now, others have jumped in on the issue.
According, to a recent story in the Kansas City Star, Kansas Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli has come in for criticism from some named and unnamed employees who describe a climate of fear, suspicion and secrecy.
I have no idea if the picture the Star paints is the true one or not. The Star said that the Chiefs declined to allow Pioli to be interviewed for their story.
I just know that on that day in July, Emma and I had been walking around the Chief's complex for fewer than 10 minutes. Yet that was long enough for some "executives" to determine that we were a threat and to run us off.
I guess I can see how you wouldn't want folks just wandering around your building but it struck me at the time as being a little bit silly.
And it really didn't have to be so silly. I mean, I love the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, when they lose (and they have been losing a lot) I might make a joke or two about them, but I also make sure to mention that I live and die with the Chiefs and have since I was 10 years old.
So, Scott, as a fan, I'm begging you: Lighten up.
Emma and I are on your side.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Jeffery ArmstrongSenior pitcher Shawn Christian had a good game on the mound and at the plate Friday night, helping the North Clayton Eagles baseball team burn the Avondale Blue Devils 9-0 at North Clayton High. The Eagles are now 2-0 on the season. Christian pitched a complete-game three-hitter, with three walks and 10 strikeouts, and made big pitches to get out of jams. In fact, Christian ended five of the seven innings he pitched with a strikeout. He also helped himself at the plate Friday night, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk. "I didn't even know I was going to pitch tonight, but I was ready anyway," Christian said. "I was confident that I would do well and my teammates did a good job backing me up. If we keep our momentum going, we can go far I think we can even make the state playoffs." North Clayton took the lead early against Avondale and wasn't truly threatened. In the first inning, Eagles' left fielder Anthony Bowden walked, stole second and third and scored North Clayton's first run on a groundout by Jamal Moreland. Christian doubled and scored on a double by catcher Anthony Grissom. Christian stole third and then scored on a groundout by Travell Williams for a quick 3-0 lead. Christian had a no-hitter after three innings but Avondale's Antonio Scott broke it up with an infield single to short in the top of the fourth and North Clayton leading 4-0. Scott then stole second and advanced to third on the bad throw from Grissom. Avondale relief pitcher Greg Boyd walked and also stole second, giving Avondale its best chance to score. After a strikeout, Avondale's Steven England grounded to Eagles first baseman Rosendo Galvan, who stepped on first for the second out and threw a bullet to home to force Scott out at home and preserve the shutout. Williams' two-run single in the bottom of the fourth inning was part of a four-run inning to make the score 8-0. The Eagles had a chance to run-rule Avondale in the bottom of the fifth, when they had two on base with two outs. Galvan had a chance to end the game early, but his line-drive grounder was caught by Boyd, who threw to first to end the inning. Dray Blanton scored the game's final run on a wild pitch. Grissom was perfect on the evening Friday, going 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs scored. He walked twice and also threw out a runner at second base to end the third inning. "I just wanted to keep my eye on the ball and hit a good shot tonight," said Grissom, who moved to catcher this year from third base. Eagles head coach Chris Taylor was proud of his team, even though they didn't hit the ball as well as he would've liked. North Clayton had eight hits, but the team stranded nine runners on base. "I'm glad we won, but we still have a lot of work to do," Taylor said. "Defensively, we are going to be good; we just have to work on our offense."

WASHINGTON -- A rocket streaked along the eastern U.S. early evening sky Tuesday in an unusual sight as NASA put a smartphone and 28 other tiny satellites into orbit.
- Olympic Torch Rockets to Space
NASA and the Air Force launched the private Minotaur rocket from Wallops Island, Va., in a test flight. The NASA launch pad is getting more use, giving more Americans a view of soaring spacecraft that used to be limited to Florida and California.
Experts estimated that the launch would be seen from Savannah, Ga., to Montreal to central Ohio.
One of the satellites is controlled by the guts of an off-the-shelf smartphone as NASA experiments with small, cheap, orbiting science projects.

The rocket, built by Orbital Sciences Corporation, also carries a satellite built by Virginia high school students.

At first I thought I liked this soap because it made my crappy skin feel smooth and it didn't dry me out or cause my face to turn red while washing. A few days in, I started getting more clogged pores. I kept using it for over a week and my issues just got worse. I started breaking out way more than usual, and my face was becoming permanently flushed especially on my cheeks. Even though this soap initially did not irritate my skin I realized this soap left a definite film on my face that I was unable to wash off no matter what. I couldn't even wash it off with another face wash at first. So I believe it is this waxy film that really irritated my face after several uses. Maybe the soap would be good for someone with extremely dry, non acne prone skin who is not sensitive. I would not recommend it and luckily I only used a free trial size.

I love this soap and have been using it for years. I use it as my face cleanser in the morning and in the evening. I am prone to breakouts, allergic reactions, and blackheads, but this product doesn't cause any of those problems.
I don't really like that it is a bar, since it's easy to drop and it's hard to keep the bar completely clean, but I don't mind since it actually works and doesn't irritate my skin or cause breakouts.

Though it's supposed to be mild, I find this cleanser incredibly drying. I have sensitive skin and thought for years that Clinique was the only brand that would keep it semi-contained, so when I decided to switch to Philosophy's Purity and Josie Maran Argan Oil rather than Clinique's Mild Cleanser and Daily Lotion, I was surprised to find that my skin got soooo much better. This cleanser was drying me out and the lotion was only doing surface work. I like the bar format but it's not worth the crappy effect it has on my skin.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine Eyes: Green
I'm always surprised by the negative reviews of this product! This is the only cleanser that my picky, sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin can tolerate. I use mineral oil to remove sunscreen and makeup, and this soap creates a pleasant, creamy lather that effectively removes all traces of the oil without leaving my skin dry and stripped. I've tried many so-called "gentle" cleansers including Purpose, Aveeno, and Cetaphil, all of which left me with either unsightly clogged pores or dry, flaky patches. This is the only cleanser I've found that deeply cleans without drying me out.
It is very reasonably priced--a $12 bar will last me 6 months easily with twice daily washing (and sometimes, I double-cleanse). One lippie off because it is not the most convenient product to carry around when traveling, and you do have to make sure not to allow water to pool in the bottom of the dish. But apart from those very minor gripes, this is my HG cleanser and I will repurchase again and again.

I got 2 bars of this from a family friend who didn't want it. Used them both up (~ a year or so of twice daily cleansing I think). Worked decently enough as a cleanser (and didn't irritate my skin) and I liked the little blue dish that it came in. Didn't really help with acne. A little pricey though so wouldn't buy it for myself.

I am not a fan of bar soap usually because there are far more convenient cleansers out there. That said this stuff really makes my face feel clean without feeling like I used detergent. It gives a nice lather and removes every trace of my Merle Norman total finish foundation which is stubborn to remove. No breakouts no dry patches. I don't care for the packaging because the tray doesn't allow for water to drain so the soap sits in it. Clinique could do better with packaging and the price is steep for a simple bar of soap. Overall Iike this as a basic cleanser, but I like to use other products with it not the most efficient system.

I originally tried this back in 2007. I liked it then, but ultimately stopped using it because the dish it came in didn't let the water drain away from the soap, leaving it really squishy and gunky on the bottom. I also seem to remember it made my cheeks a little dry. I've recently bought a new bar, and the dish has holes to allow water to drain away from the bar which is perfect. So, I've been using this twice a day and it works really well for me. I use L'Oreal's Hydrafresh toner after this, and the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and my skin is smooth, comfortable and glowing. For a 5.2 oz. bar, the price is great because I can see this lasting for months!

Summer Learning
There has been some learning going on around here lately. Mom taught me the word, "Roll over." It's something like, "Down." But more squiggly and flippy and thumpy and spinny. At first, Mom grabbed as many of my little legs as she could and twisted them like spaghetti till she got me upside down. Then I learned to tuck my back legs under and make myself turn to stone, so she couldn't roll me. Eventually, she learned to show me a treat which made me melt into submission. That is called Learning. Plus Bribery. Mom said, "Whatever works." and "By the time you learn this, you'll be too fat to do it." and "I need a break." Then she made a s'more and didn't share it with me. Mom will be learning around here, too. She joined Summer School! She'll be studying online with two amazing teachers, a talented group of guest teachers, and a Facebook group filled with classmates. In Summer School, she'll think up new characters. Then, she'll grab their little legs and twist them like spaghetti till they squiggle, flip, thump, and spin. Then she'll make a story about them. The bribery won't work, so she'll have to read a lot of posts, talk to herself, pay attention to her teachers, and be inspired. After that, she'll probably make a s'more and not share it with me.

Thread: Tomlin gettin some respect
Re: Tomlin gettin some respect
That would suck to lose Tomlin, but hopefully that is many years away.. If and when that happens, we still have other defensive coaches that came over here with him from Tampa (Joe Woods) that could lay the groundwork and keep this defense running..
Hopefully we won't have to worry about that for some time.. It is very nice having a DC that knows how to play the offense, and control the game.. Childress put together a very young, knowledgeable staff when he took the reigns here in Minnesota.. My guess is that they will be together for a long time..

B.chill changed out the staff to fit what he saw as what he wanted. all in all you have to give him credit for the team he has put together.
just like players, i'm starting to see B.chill's decisions carried a lot of thought, understanding of personel, and a vision of where he wanted to go with this team.
Mr. T!! welcome to MN!!! welcome to the frigid north, and welcome to Vikings Territory!!
It may be a little early to be anointing with oil, but I agree with you. The puzzle pieces appear to be in place and Tomlin reminds me a little of Dungy when he was here.What takes a quarterback to the next level is not arm strength or mobility or any of that stuff. Its the ability to play on critical downs. Manage third downs, or red zones or four-minute or two-minute situations"

The eight hectares of vines at Proprietà Sperino are mostly in the district of Ori, so-called for the deep yellow marine sand that lies on the sun-drenched, sub-alpine plateau of Orolungo. If you scoop up the soil only a half-hour after a heavy rain, it slips through your fingers like sand in an hourglass. The climate is dry, and a cool breeze blows down from the Alps to the north.
This is the second "Uvaggio" that contains Nebbiolo from the recently acquired, ninety year-old Tenute Sella vineyard. The wine has a limpid dark garnet color, warming to deep mahogany at the edge. The nose of sweet amarena cherries, pine needles, and dried rose petals is seasoned with a faint suggestion of wild mint and sweet herbs. On the palate, this elegant wine is even finer and more Chambolle-Musigny-like than earlier vintages: polished (and powerful), with deep, mineral-infused red fruit flavors framed in ripe, elegant, fine-grained tannins. Drink now – 2025.

Crab cake recipe question
Crab cakes are usually made with crab meat that has been picked from the shells and unless you cook the crab you'd find it difficult to achieve that. "Raw" crab would mean a dead crab that has never seen the boiling pot. Dead crab isn't something you'd want to eat; not unless it's dead from a swim in boiling water. When you buy your fresh crab it'll be cooked enough to use in your crab cakes.
Hi 7,
I agree with Phurstluv that your crab legs may be cooked already. For disclosure, I have not made my own crab cake before, so take my words with a grain of salt. However, I have made shrimp cake several times. Assuming the idea can be carried over, I would use raw carb meat if possible. When you cook shrimp or carb, the juices have their favor and that favor is captured in the cake when the meat was raw. For example, I think gumbo tastes much better when raw shrimps are cooked in it than throwing in steamed shrimps. My opinion.
If the legs are red, they are already cooked. I often make crab cakes from Maine rock crabs (or for tourists, peekytoes [gag]). They are live. I always steam them first. Crab and lobster, as mentioned above, deteriorate very quickly. I have never heard of or would attempt to use uncooked meat. Canned works in a pinch.

re: Passadumkeg
I think there are real live lobsters that are red. Go tell them that they can have red lobster if they pay you 100X more.
While at it, I think I may be wrong about using uncooked carb meat, since everyone suggested otherwise. Thanks.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I've also seen albino white and blue live lobsters.
7, to make the best crab cake, I'd recommend getting plastic containers of fresh crab meat from a fish monger or as Phursty said, good quality canned crab meat. I feel the texture of snow crab type claws is not flaky enough to give the right texture for crab cakes.
I'm not aware of crabs you can buy "by the leg" other than king or snow, and those have always been cooked before you see them. What type of crab did you buy? Traditional crab cakes are made with Maryland blue lump crab meat, but other varieties may be tasty.
re: 7speter
Snip the ends of the leg segments with a scissors, and then cut up one side and down the other with the scissors to open the segments and extract the meat. The thickest segments that were nearest to the body have a single tendon that will lift out from the meat easily. The meat is very tasty, just a lot of work. Thaw them just prior to removing the meat, they have been boiled. The cluster section where the legs attach has a little, less flavorful meat that's more difficult to extract.
re: Veggo
Go buy a plastic tub or can of pasteurized crab meat at your seafood market or Costco or Sam's or any other place that sells it. There are different grades, with jumbo lump being the biggest and most expensive. If you are trying to make a Maryland crab cake, this is what you will use. (Yes, they even use this imported stuff in Maryland -- blashpemy). It is called "blue swimmimg crab" and it is a pretty good facsimie of blue claw crab from the East Coast. Of course, nothing is as sweet as a live blue claw crab cooked in the pot in front of you and eaten, but hey -- unless you want to pick through a few dozen of these, go with the can.
Crab meat is always cooked before you buy it, unless you have purchased a live crab -- of any variety. All you need to do with your crab legs is cut the meat up, mix with your ingredients and heat them through. If your recipe uses raw egg, it needs to heat all the way through.
