The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Cardinals ruin Ramirez' big night
St. Louis -- Aramis Ramirez talked on Friday afternoon about the Milwaukee Brewers' need to deliver despite the depth of their recent struggles.
The veteran third baseman then went out and backed up those words.
Ramirez drove in all six of the Brewers' runs with a pair of three-run home runs off St. Louis Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia, but it wasn't quite enough to prevent a 7-6 defeat at Busch Stadium.
The loss was the Brewers' fourth straight and seventh in eight games on their current road trip. They've also lost seven of eight games to the Cardinals this season.
The game looked like it had already been decided in the opening inning.
Whereas Garcia needed a total of just six pitches to set the Brewers down in the top of the first, Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta threw 31.
Matt Carpenter singled to start things, moved to second on a groundout by Carlos Beltran and scored on a Matt Holliday single to center to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead six pitches in.
Peralta followed up by walking Allen Craig and giving up a single to Yadier Molina to load the bases. Jon Jay struck out, bringing the perennial Brewers killer David Freese to the plate.
Hitting just .209 coming in and without an extra-base hit in his previous 41 at-bats, Freese crushed on an 86-mph changeup on a 1-1 count out to straightaway center field for his second career grand slam and a 5-0 St. Louis lead.
It was Freese's first home run of the season, and he equaled his season RBI total with that one swing as well.
Pete Kozma singled next before Peralta finally got Garcia to ground out to end the inning.
Garcia remained locked in on the mound, retiring the Brewers in order in the second and third as well while also picking up another run of support in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by Jay.
Norichika Aoki broke up the perfect game with a leadoff single in the fourth, and with one out Ryan Braun drew a walk to put two on for Aramis Ramirez, who drilled a line-drive home run just over the wall in left to halve the deficit to 6-3.
The Cardinals answered with another run in the bottom of the frame on Holliday's second RBI single of the night, and that four-run cushion held up until the sixth.
Aoki got things started with a double down the right-field line and Jean Segura reached on an infield single to put two on with nobody out for Braun.
Braun worked the count to 3-0 before Garcia recovered to strike him out, bringing up Ramirez. First-pitch swinging, Ramirez hammered an 84-mph slider 416 feet out to left-center to cut the deficit to 7-6.
It was Ramirez's 26th career multi-homer game, and moved him into fifth place on the all-time list for homers by a third baseman with 342. Texas' Adrian Beltre has 341.
Carlos Gomez followed with a single to chase Garcia, but the Brewers couldn't drive him in against Seth Maness.
The Brewers' best chance the rest of the way came in the eighth, when Braun singled off fireballer Trevor Rosenthal to lead off the frame and bring up Ramirez.
Ramirez, like Braun in the sixth, worked the count to 3-0 before striking out on a 90-mph fastball. Braun, running on the pitch, was then gunned down at second base by Molina to take all the wind out of the Brewers' sails.
Gomez popped out on a bunt attempt for the third out, and the Brewers were retired in order in the ninth by Edward Mujica.

Based on a 5-0 1st inning score, it is more likely to be "get swept by the Cards."

You're right,didn't realize that,although so far it's not looking good.
a 'W' tonight goes a long way towards confidence vs Cardinals
Brewers losing already, go figure.Hide replies
no way!
Are the Brewers the new NL Central Astros?
Peralta doesn't belong in the major leagues. He is absolutely awful! Who has made this decision?Hide replies
whats the score?
um, 5-0 and my steaks aren't even done yet on the grill! I am really getting PO'd at this team!
man, do they jump on the brewers ,or what___
oh, and thanks badgerrick22.
They have nothing better anywhere in the minors. Might as well stick with him. Right now he is a one pitch pitcher who will get hit hard evey time out. Even though he throws 95-96 when the other guys know what's coming and you throw it up in the zone it's going to get hit hard. Apparently no pitching coach at any level has taught Peralta a change up or how to consisently throw a slider. There is a reason why the Brewers have one of the worst minor league systems in baseball.
The really bad thing is they don't have anyone better than Peralta.
What happened to that Rogers guy? Is he in minors?
Words can't even describe how frustrating it is being a fan of this team. I need to start laying down some serious cash on the Cardinals every time they play the Brewers.
Maybe someone should inform the players that a 1-2-3 inning does not mean putting men at 1st 2nd and 3rd..............defensively speaking.........Hide replies

ONE BOY is a perfect example of why Kirkus Reviews calls Laura Vaccaro Seeger the "emerging master of the concept book"—a die-cut book exploring counting and words-withinwords, and the power of art and imagination. At the start, readers see a sad boy surrounded by empty, lonely chairs. At his feet is a bag with paint brushes peeking out. The text reads "ONE boy" which—with a turn of the page and a look through a cleverly cut hole—turns into "all alONE." Page after page, the book becomes populated with seals, apes, and monkeys, all examples of words-within-words. Finally, we come back to "ONE boy" who is "all dONE," and we discover where all the characters came from.

I've been reading various articles and forum posts concerning what Sergio Martinez should do if he wants to create a legacy and I figured I'd ask you lot on here what you reckon.
For me personally I'd say to Martinez, "stay exactly where you are." I see absolutely no reason why he needs to move up in weight and I'm sick to death of people today thinking a fighter has to be a multi weight world champion to be considered great. Not everyone thinks that way obviously, but there is a newer breed of fan who most certainly does.
If Pac or Mayweather stepped up to face him....marvelous but if neither of them do then he should just be content with defending his belts against the best genuine middleweights out there until father time eventually catches up with him. I don't think he's big enough to be as successful at super middle and nor do I see why he should even bother. He rules a far more distinguished division right now in any case.
So what do you say? Does he have to move up in your opinion?

Actually, in our view the answer is "none." Bikeway plans tend to treat cyclists' needs in a pretty one-dimensional manner. One plan we saw, for example, proposed spending several million dollars on bikeways but nothing to fix up the town's many unsafe drain grates!
On the other hand, the best Comprehensive Bike Plans* we've seen have been done in Australia. For example, the Geelong Bikeplan (the first of the genre), followed by the Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth Bikeplans, include serious proposals for improved educational programs, real enforcement work, and good ideas for encouragement projects. The plans were developed through local task forces, which included members from bicycling groups, local police, planning agencies, public works departments, school districts, and safety groups.
*Comprehensive Bike Plans include education, enforcement, and encouragement elements in addition to engineering and planning work.
Go back to list.
Sure. It's been done for years. Demand-actuated systems consist of electrified wire loops buried in the pavement under the traffic lanes. The loops set up an electromagnetic field and are hooked to sending units. When a large mass of metal passes over the field, the sending unit alerts the controller (located in a box on one corner of the intersection), which changes the signal.
To detect bikes, use the right loop and make sure the amplifier is tuned properly. In San Diego, the CalTrans "Type D" loop is used in shared-lane situations and the "Type Q" is used in bike-only lanes.
Go back to list.
The best barrier is routine enforcement. While some communities install bollards, these are easy for bicyclists to miss (visually) and hit (physically). Tom Walsh, Traffic Engineer for Madison, Wisconsin, only uses bollards when there's a proven need. Otherwise, he doesn't use anything more than regulatory signs. If you do use bollards, make sure they're highly visible (reflective tape, overhead lighting, etc). If you need to get through with emergency vehicles, consider a hinged design for the post. Use the Caltrans approach to striping around them.
Diane Bishop reports that Eugene, Oregon, uses a different approach: they split the path entrance into two 5-foot one-way paths. In between the paths, they plant low bushes to discourage motorists; fire trucks and such can drive over these bushes in an emergency. The Ohio Department of Transportation's design guide has a good diagram to give you the idea.
What about keeping motorcycles off paths?
Enforcement is the only way we've seen. If you make a barrier that will keep out a motorcycle, it'll also be a real nuisance for bicyclists and (on multi-use paths) wheelchair-bound pedestrians.
Go back to list.
Hard to say, actually. Bicycle crashes tend to go unreported; only one in 5 car-bike crashes and 1 in 20 non-car-related crashes typically get reported and virtually no one has determined crash rates by comparing their crash statistics with the number of bicyclists using their pathways or the number of miles traveled. As a result, agencies may not know whether their paths are relatively safe or dangerous.
Some people believe that mere separation from auto traffic makes a path safe. But "safety" is the result of a combination of three main factors: the built environment, the bicyclist, and other users.
First, since most serious bicycle crashes result from falls or collisions
with stationary objects, we need to look at whether a path contains any
built-in hazards. A common problem is insufficient clearance to static obstructions.
AASHTO, for example, recommends a minimum of 3 feet between the edge of
the path and any obstructions (1). These may include posts, street furniture,
nearby buildings, supports for overhead structures, overhead structures
themselves, railings, fences, trees, steep drop offs, embankments, and drainage
channels or culverts.
Next, inadequate pathway widths, curve designs, and other features of the layout and construction can increase the likelihood of falls and collisions with pedestrians and other bicyclists. Curves that are too sharp for the appropriate design speed, curves with restricted sight distances, and inappropriate grades (too steep) can all cause crash problems.
Another problem is narrowness; two-way bike-only paths less than 8 feet wide or shared bike-pedestrian paths less than 10 to 12 feet give trail users no margin for error. These minimum widths are not generous, by the way. Progressive agencies tend to go at least 12 feet for shared paths. Another common problem to look for is lack of maintenance. Debris (sand, gravel, rocks, leaves, branches) on the trail-especially on curves, vegetation that encroaches on the edge or hangs over the path should be taken care of on a routine basis.(2)
Finally, since most bicycle-motor vehicle crashes happen at intersections, it is important to look at how the paths relate to the roads. Paths with lots of intersections with the road network or intersections that meet roads at blind curves or odd angles may increase the level of danger for bicyclists.
Bicycle paths tend to attract less experienced bicyclists. And these riders tend to have more crashes. The skill levels, knowledge, and behavior of typical path users would likely influence crash rates. While the data is far from perfect, one report (5) gives crash rates per million miles for three types of riders: elementary school cyclists (720), college-affiliated riders ( 510), and adult club cyclists (113). Of the three groups, the first two are most likely to find bicycle paths attractive riding environments.
For bicyclists, the ideal might be to have a path to themselves. However,
this is seldom possible. Typically, bicycle paths are shared-use paths,
used by pedestrians, rollerbladers, skateboarders, and joggers, in addition
to bicyclists. In general, the more "shared use" there is, the
more stressful and, potentially, the more dangerous the path is for any
given user type. In Calgary, Alberta, the riverfront bike-pedestrian paths
have gotten so popular that the City Parks Department is building separate
paths for bicyclists near what used to be shared-use paths. The older paths
are now reserved for pedestrians.
With respect to bicyclists and pedestrians, one study (3) concluded that "The incompatibility of the physical design parameters and the operational and behavioral characteristics of each mode preclude the development of shared pathways for pedestrians and bicycles in high density urban areas. The characteristics of bicycle travel in this environment is more compatible with vehicular traffic than with pedestrian traffic."

Study article
There are some options here. The one we particularly like these days is the "vane" design, which has curved bars perpendicular to the direction of travel. According to the Neenah Foundry catalog,1 "hydraulic tests prove the new Vane Grate will accept more water than any of the conventional grate styles under virtually all flow conditions." They also say that it "is being used in grate replacement programs in many cities throughout the country, not only because of its storm water capacity but also for its bicycle-safe qualities." That's our top choice.
Other options include curb-face inlets. These eliminate the grate entirely from the surface of the road. But the roadway may have to be sloped to move water towards the inlet. This can cause handling problems for cyclists if the slopes are extreme.
In a pinch, you can weld 1-inch x 1¦4-inch cross-straps over a bad parallel-bar drain grate (the ones that can catch your wheel). Weld them at a 6- to 8-inch spacing. But keep in mind that this is a very temporary measure, especially in the Snow Belt, where snow plows can pop the straps off like crazy.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices2 (MUTCD) says you can stripe warning stripes around a bad grate. Don't bother. Paint wears off and there's no guarantee that a bicyclist will notice the striping and avoid the grate. Replace the grate.
Go back to list.
Actually, no. Because they increase bike-car conflicts at intersections and are designed for pedestrian speeds, sidewalk bikeways actually make things worse. In Eugene, Oregon, for example, "The average accident rate for the three sidewalk bicycle route sections is 1.8 accidents per 100,000 bicycle miles per year. This is nearly three times the average for the signed lanes or striped lanes. These facilities are significantly more hazardous for bicycle-motor vehicle accidents."1
Palo Alto's 1974 study showed a 54 percent increase in the car/bike crash rate on streets where sidewalk bikeways had been installed.2 They said "After over a year of operationassessment of field observations and an analysis of accident data indicate that this particular concept presented an undesirable high-risk situation."
Further, for years the available design standards have recommended against them. The 1991 AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities says "Providing a sidewalk bicycle path is unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons."3 Among those mentioned: low pedestrian-oriented design speeds, conflicts with pedestrians, fixed obstructions (fire plugs, parking meters,), intersection conflicts with turning and crossing motorists, and sight obstructions (bushes and fences at corners and driveways). Their comments are taken from the 1978 CalTrans report Planning & Design Criteria for Bikeways in California4.
People who haven't looked into the problem often have a hard time imagining that sidewalk bikeways could be dangerous. But if they when they realize that most car-bike crashes happen at intersections, that sidewalk bikeways tend to reduce visual contact between bicyclists and motorists, and that bikes generally travel between 8 and 20 mph, the reasons become clear.
Go back to list. Go back to Bike
Lane section.
A wide curb lane is an outside through lane that is wider than normal. "Normal" means 12 feet. By adding extra width to the curb lane, you make it easier for motorists and bicyclists to share the road. How much extra width is needed? According to a study done by the Maryland State Highway Administration, "Highway departments should promote increased lane widths within the normal construction program on closed section highways and bridges on which bicyclists are expected and permitted to 15.0 - 15.5 feet depending on traffic and bicycle volumes."1 This confirms the informal consensus we've found in the field: 15 feet is a good lane-sharing width, especially on urban roads with speeds under 45 mph.2
The Highway Capacity Manual3 makes an interesting point on the wide curb lane situation. It gives "passenger-car equivalents" for bicycles in traffic lanes of different widths. In a lane less than 11 feet wide, a bicycle is equivalent to either 1.0 or 1.2 cars, depending on whether the bike's movement is unopposed or opposed. [Unopposed means not crossing another direction of travel; opposed means crossing another direction of travel; a left turning bike, for example, is "opposed" by oncoming traffic.] In a lane between 11 and 14 feet wide, a bike is worth 0.2 or 0.5 (unopposed vs. opposed). But in a lane wider than 14 feet, a bike is equivalent to 0.0 passenger cars, regardless of opposition. In other words, in a narrow lane, bikes add to the congestion while in a wide curb lane, they do not.
Go back to list.
If you're going to do this, it should be plenty wide. The AASHTO Guide1 says you need 13 feet (with an 8-foot parking lane) or 15 feet (with a 10-foot parking lane). Baltimore County did an experiment some years back in which they photographed a cyclist passing a parked car that had its door open.2 A vertical flag was placed at different distances from the curb; researchers noted that 13 feet was the minimum width in which a bicyclist could pass the car door without hitting the flag.
One interesting idea we've seen is to stripe a 15-foot curb lane with a rush hour parking prohibition. During rush hour, it acts as a wide curb lane. In off-peak hours, there's plenty of room for bikes to get by parked cars. The ones we've seen don't include special pavement markings (except, possibly, parking "T"s) but the space is certainly welcomed by the bicyclists.
Go back to list.
Manhole covers, if they're not flush with the pavement, can cause no end of trouble for bicyclists. Whether a cover is sunken into the roadway or raised above its surface, the end result can be the same: cyclists losing control, falling, and hurting themselves and damaging their bikes.
Sometimes, a previously level cover may end up low if the road around it is repaved but the manhole isn't adjusted. Fortunately, there are specs for such projects. One good one we found comes from the Montana Public Works Standard Specifications. This standard gives a smooth ride for the bicyclist.
Go back to list.
Adopt tougher standards and enforce them. When utility companies and governmental agencies dig up the streets, they sometimes neglect to patch correctly. As a result, the patch may be uneven or may fail in the future. And badly done patches are hazardous for bicyclists.
The City of Palo Alto, California, has adopted stringent and detailed bicycle-friendly patching standards. If a utility company digs up a street and patches it, the patch must be smooth and must not fail for at least a year. The City has assembled a packet of information2 on their policies and they make it available for free to interested parties.
By the way, here are the standards for pavement quality on bike lanes or bike routes from CalTrans' Planning & Design Criteria for Bikeways in California (p. 37):1
Grooves* Steps** Parallel to travel < 1/2 inch wide < 3/8 inch high Perpendicular to travel - < 3/4 inch high
*Groove: A narrow slot in the surface that could catch
a bicycle wheel, such as a gap between two concrete slabs.
**Step: A ridge in the pavement, such as that which might exist between the pavement and a concrete gutter or manhole cover; or that might exist between two pavement blankets when the top level does not extend to the edge of the roadway.

The Cloutier file
July 22, 2008 8:48 AM
Here's today's Caller-Times story on Sylvain Cloutier's hiring.
I talked to former teammates of his and a beat writer who worked with Cloutier and they all described him as a great intangibles guy and a ferocious competitor. It should be interesting to see how that translates to coaching.
Pat Dunn and company certainly are taking a risk going with a first-year coach, but the performance of Dan Wildfong and Forbes MacPherson last year assuaged some of those concerns. Plus, going with a retread probably wasn't as enticing as a guy with Cloutier's player connections. Word is the dude has been burning up his cell-phone battery since being hired over the weekend.
Hey Greg, Randy Murphy didn't do bad either! Man,when folks like Melrose take the time to tout this guy there has to be something there.This is going to be a fun season in Corpus! I wonder if Ndur is one of his guys that may be here.That would be cool.

Pearless timing
I'm not sure I'd want to be touting this when my university is facing serious budget cuts, a colleague just got fired, layoffs all around, the stock market is tanking and the economy is in a recession. Oh, did I mention his employer, the state of Tennessee, is laying off about 2,200 people?
Wow! 2 posts on Bruce Pearl this early in the morning? You must be desperate for news.
I agree MS. Agreeing to show off his 10,000 sq foot McMansion in the current environment showed extremely poor taste. As did referring in the story to his girlfriend, who is not the mother of his children (whom he divorced relatively recently after two decades of marriage) as "the love of my life."

Original recipe yields 6 burgers
- Mix the egg, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in a large mixing bowl until the egg is well blended. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, mustard, paprika, chili powder, salt, bread crumbs, and turkey; mix well and form into 6 patties.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Cook the turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve on the toasted hamburger buns.

My husband and I made this recipe tonight and it was GREAT! I used a little less turkey than the recipe called for since it's just the two of us but used the full recipe. The turkey stayed very moist and stayed together on the grill. They do smell AMAZING! Most turkey burger recipes I've tried have not been very flavorful. These burgers are full of flavor and just enough spice, but not too much, even with the jalepenos. We will definitely make these again!
I just got done eating this! Wow, very, very good! I understand some members get upset that people make modifications but I did and thought they were AWESOME! I only had 1 lb of turkey so I cut back on everything-I used about 1/2 of all the ingredients, had to substitute cayenne pepper for the chili pepper and I added more bread crumbs than the recipe called for. I refrigerated the meat for about 20-30 min's while I got everything else ready and it was real easy to form the patties, which stayed 'together' perfectly. I pan fried these patties instead of grilling and they came out great, they were really moist too. My hubby loved them too....we decided this is the 'way to go' as far as burgers. Better than beef, especially with sauted onions, wheat buns and all the sides!!! Thank you for the recipe!
Great turkey burgers! I left out the jalepeno peppers and used 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro instead. These were very moist, so I left out the egg and also used low sodium soy sauce - very healthy and a nice change from regular beef burgers. Perfect on toasted whole grain rolls with lettuce, tomato, and thin sliced red onion.

Berkman's off the table and it seems like Beltre is just waiting patiently for some other team besides the A's to offer him something remotely close to what the A's may or may not have reportedly/allegedly/possibly offered him so that he can go play in a place where there is a great fan base so that he can feel better about leaving millions on the table.
So that's my rant, but here's my plan:
- Break off negotiations with Iwakuma.
- Go all-in and sign Jayson Werth for 75 mil or so.
- Trade Kouz, H-Rod and Ziegler to D-Backs for Mark Reynolds.
- Re-sign Cust
- Sign Kevin Correia or Justin Ducscherer to be 5th starter
2011 Lineup
CF - Crisp
1B - Barton
RF - Werth
3B - Reynolds
DH - Cust
C - Suzuki
LF - Dejesus
2B - Ellis
SS - Pennington
Werth is expensive, but I'm tired of missing out on good bats and he's a well-rounded player that has been pretty healthy the last few years. Reynolds strikes out a ton and isn't the greatest defender, but he's still relatively young, showed decent defensive stats last year and is fairly athletic and will hit homers - maybe a significant amount less than he has in AZ, but probably good for around 25 and a 440+ SLG.
Between Werth, Reynolds and Cust, this team should get at least 60 homers in the middle of the order, plus OBP. Werth and Reynolds can run a bit, so they aren't totally one dimensional.
Of course, the pitching could suffer a bit with REynolds at 3rd, but like I said, his stats from last year were decent and he seems to be getting modestly better with the glove very year. Besides Reynolds, the defense stays great all around.
The pitching might take a hit without H-Rod, Iwamuka or Ziegler, but I think Beane can go out and pick up a few scrap heap guys to fill in capably.

ELLENBURG CORNERS — The cause of a massive fire that destroyed Derrick and Rosemary Glaude's Riverview Dairy Farm in Ellenburg Monday night was still under investigation Tuesday.
Ellenburg Depot Fire Chief Lou Lavalley said it appears the cause is electrical, but more information is needed before he can say for sure what sparked the blaze around 6:30 p.m. at 5504 Route 11.
The fire quickly engulfed a barn housing more than 100 heifers, killing them all.
Fire crews were at the farm all night, fighting flames that destroyed tractors, equipment, hay and a work shed within an hour after Clinton County Fire Control made its first call for fire departments to respond, Lavalley said.
He said he believed the owners have insurance.
More than 450,000 gallons of water, 18 tankers and at least nine fire departments were used to control the flames that were fanned by frigid winds, said Ellenburg Center Fire Chief Stanley Russell Jr.
He said the barn and surrounding structures were old and contained a lot of hay, which contributed to the quick-spreading fire.
A person on nearby Bombard Road saw the flames and called 911.
Mr. Glaude was tending to his other dairy farm on West Hill Road when he received a call that the property was on fire. Initially, Mrs. Glaude was worried her husband was inside the burning barn.
No injuries were reported, but Lavalley said the property is a complete loss.
The Glaudes could not be reached Tuesday for an update on their situation.

OWS GP 2011: Stoychev's formidable winning streak in Santa Fe
After an hour of the race 20 year-old Carrizo (ARG) had broken from the pack and taken a lead of 300-400m which he maintained for a further hour through the port section of the course before hard work by a pack of seven-eight swimmers brought them back into contention.
Stoychev (BUL) and Volpini (ITA) broke from this group and swam strategically sharing the lead for a further 90 minutes before being caught by Bertola (ARG) and Biagioli (ARG). Bertola lead for a long period until six hours into the race when Biagioli staked her claim, with Bertola, Volpini and Stoychev close behind.
In the later stages, Valenti (ITA) caught the group through swimming a direct line through a bend rather than following the current of the river. The five swam a close race, with the lead changing several times.
Bertola sought advantage by swimming his own line on occasion, however the group reformed as they progressed down the river. In a sprint to the finish, Stoychev again proved victorious to gain his sixth title in this race followed a body length behind by Volpini and Valenti. Biagioli closely followed the men into the finish with a long gap to the second and third women Geijo (ARG) and Nunez (ESP).

OTTUMWA — It takes two southeast Iowa communities to yank the opportunity to host the Iowa Tourism Conference from Des Moines.
Ottumwa Area Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director Mark Eckman was stunned by how quickly the Iowa Tourism Office came to the decision that Ottumwa should host the 2015 Iowa Tourism Conference, after a team of officials visited town only a week ago.
"They liked our enthusiasm, first and foremost, and they liked our interest level, as well as the creativity that we brought to our particular bid," Eckman said.
Conference attendees won't only experience Ottumwa; Fairfield has also been incorporated into the mix. While attendees will stay overnight in Ottumwa, and the conference will take place at Bridge View Center, they'll be able to venture to Fairfield restaurants for the "dine-around" function and entertainment afterward at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
"It seemed to be a great fit to partner with Ottumwa and really give both communities an opportunity to shine and welcome such a large conference," said Rustin Lippincott, executive director of the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center. "Fairfield would never be able to host the tourism conference based solely on the fact that we don't have enough hotel rooms and meeting and conference space. But we have that eclectic dining scene, and we know how to do the entertainment part."
Ottumwa and Fairfield were up against the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines for this opportunity and used the combination of different amenities in both communities to make their bid "look decidedly different from the Des Moines bid," Eckman said.
"The Iowa Events Center is not something you want to draw as a competitor," he said. "It's new, shiny and very appealing, but then we have some great things we can counter with."

Although Ohio lawmakers abolished high-cost loans in 2008, many payday loan stores still operate in the state -- some charging annual percentage rates (APRs) up to 700 percent. Lenders often exploit loopholes in the law, or react to laws against one type of loan by offering "second generation" products that still feature triple-digit APRs. In Ohio, they use a loophole by defining themselves under laws written to regulate mortgage lenders and credit repair organizations. The state Supreme Court, however, has agreed to hear a case on the use of this loophole by Cashland to determine if it is legal. Unrestrained payday loans can be highly lucrative, especially with borrowers that take out loans repeatedly. A study by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that about 75 percent of loan fees came from borrowers who had more than 10 payday loans over a 12-month period. Because of regulatory scrutiny, however, lenders are now offering other products, such as auto title loans -- or, as in the case of Cashland parent company Cash America, a "line of credit" that works like a credit card but with a 299 percent APR.

In a sharply divided and much anticipated case, the highest court in the land ruled that the Defense of Marriage act – a piece of legislation that defines marriage as a "heterosexual union" – is unconstitutional because it denies same-sex couples government benefits that heterosexual couples already enjoy.
12 states have now amended their own statues to allow for same sex marriage, and coupled with the Supreme Court ruling on the federal Defense of Marriage Act, our nation is finally on its path of protecting equal rights among all of its law-abiding citizens regardless of sexual orientation.

The financial sanctions on Iran are now having a real impact. Earlier this week, people in Tehran openly complained that the Iranian currency is drastically losing value against the dollar, pushing up prices. Meanwhile, Iran's leadership is already dealing with a threat from Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli leader, who delivered a strong speech at the United Nations against the Iranian nuclear programme.

Moscardelli was named to the all-conference first team along with teammates Katie Mantie and Erin Greenstein. Erica Donnelly and Vicky DiNatale were chosen to the all-conference second team.
Gibson was selected as the conference coach of the year for the second consecutive season, and for the third time in the past four years. He has guided the Pride women to a record of 14-3-3 and to an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament.
Springfield will travel to Baltimore for a first-round match-up with Cabrini in the Johns Hopkins regional. SC will play Saturday (Nov. 12) at 7:30 pm.
Moscardelli was named to an all-conference team for the third time, her first as a first-team selection. This marks her second NEWMAC player of the year honor, after garnering the conference player of the year award for the 2011 women's lacrosse season. This is the first instance in NEWMAC history that a student-athlete has won player of the year honors in two separate sports. The Weymouth, Mass. native ranked fourth in the NEWMAC in goals, with seven, and points, with 19. She also led the Pride with five assists.
Mantie earned her first all-conference selection. The senior from Wallingford, Conn. finished first in the conference with 13 goals, and added four assists for a league-high 30 points overall. Her seven game-winning goals ranked second in the nation.
Greenstein finished 12-2-2 on the season to earn a spot on the all-conference first team for the first time. The junior goalkeeper from Framingham, Mass. ranked third in the NEWMAC in goals against average at 0.30 per game, second in save percentage at .906, and tallied 48 saves on the season.
Donnelly also made her first appearance on an all-conference team. The native of Weymouth, Mass. scored three goals on the season, including a game-winner versus WPI. The junior also added two assists to bring her point total to eight.
For DiNatale, her all-conference selection reflected her outstanding play on the defensive side of the ball. The Weymouth, Mass. product helped anchor a Springfield defense that allowed just eight goals on the season, including just two in NEWMAC regular season play.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Living a healthy lifestyle is not solely about watching what you eat.
Oklahoma State University employees are learning just that in a program designed to maximize their level of health and fitness.
The 14-week program, Building a Lifestyle on Activity, Nutrition, Confidence and Energy — or B.A.L.A.N.C.E. — began in fall 2011 and consists of health screenings, fitness assessments, physical activity, nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification classes.
"I think the program is fantastic. Anyone having health issues, especially someone with high risk factors, should be in the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. program. I would recommend it to anyone," said program participant Ed Kirtley. "One thing I have learned is that it's not simply what you put into your mouth, it's how you view yourself, it's exercise, it's a lot of things that come together to make you healthy."
Kirtley was one of 12 benefits-eligible employees accepted into the most recent session of the program, one of many wellness initiatives happening at OSU as the university strives to be "America's Heathiest Campus." Participants undergo periodic health screenings to assess such things as blood pressure, abdominal circumference and weight. They also have fitness assessments that document cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, endurance and flexibility.
Participants work with personal trainers and registered dietitians, attend weekly group meetings on healthy eating and are required to maintain a daily food journal.
"Our goal in the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. program is to help participants develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle and achieve their optimal level of health and fitness," said Mary Talley, employee wellness program manager within the Department of Wellness. "We are thrilled that every B.A.L.A.N.C.E. participant graduated the program with improved health, but are especially heartened by the fact that such a high percentage improved so dramatically. "
The free program is open to any employee, but preference is given to applicants with the most risk factors.
"No matter the background or story of someone, everyone deserves a chance to better themselves and prolong their life, and that is what the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. program accomplishes," said Tabi Deal, health educator within the Department of Wellness.
Classes are held twice each school year — once in the fall and again in the spring. Applications are available for the fall class. The deadline is Aug. 9, and the class begins Aug. 19.
For more information about the B.A.L.A.N.C.E. program, contact Talley at 405-744-6907 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A thumbs up for Trader Joe's in Chelsea
I have never been a fan of Trader Joe's and avoid the one in Union Square like the plague, it is horribly overcrowded and I never thought the food was worth the hassle. But I work out near the Chelsea one and I am hooked. The produce is fresh, it has not been insanely packed, and it is clearly less expensive than Whole Foods. It is hard for me to believe that this is the same store! Don't know why it is so much better, but it is.
Trader Joe's
142 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003
I agree! I was there last night, and the line was curving around to the back for the first time since Ive been there (almost daily since it opened) - and it moves so much faster! Unfortunately I was stuck for the longest time next to the boxes of Tarte Tatin, but restrained myself.

Sally's Apizza is obviously better than Pepe's and Modern
I hit all three and it is obvious:
Sally's: Clear char, chewy-crisp crust, plenty of flavor,
Pepe's: Bland, no real spices, weak crust
Modern: Too salty, not only mozz used for the cheese, more cheese than sauce, weak crust
Sally's was the only one to have a real crisp crust
Zuppardi's > all 3
re: LorenV
I agree...this post is absurd. I think that it depends what you're looking for. Nobody makes a better white clam and garlic pie than Pepe's (it's the freshly opened little necks, not canned or frozen like most other places). I would agree that Sally's classic red pies are absolutely terrific, but unless you're prepared to wait hours to get them (unless you have the private phone number and can come in through the back door), you can forget about even trying them!
I find Modern to be two restaurants under one roof: If you're eating in, the pies can be as good as anybody's - and better than most. The take outs are made in a different kitchen and for whatever reason, they just don't travel well. We live approximately 5 minutes away and invariably, by the time we get them home, they are limp, soggy approximations of what is served in the restaurant.
I should say that I had just mozzarella
re: observor
And herein lies [one of] the problems with the original post. The pie that one orders has so much to do with the final results. I prefer Pepe's. That said, if I wanted a "plain" pie with nothing on it, I would be perfectly happy with Sally's, and cannot dispute that it might in fact win the day. (Leaving aside the headache of actually getting a table and putting up with the awful service.) If you did the same test and ordered pies with sausage and onion, I'd be surprised if Pepe's didn't top your list. And if you ordered pepperoni, I'd venture a guess that Pepe's might finish last. (I cringe when people who have never been to Pepe's go and order a pepperoni pie and then complain that the pizza was just OK. I just don't think that pepperoni on top shows off what Pepe's is all about.) And as posted above, order a white clam in each place and Pepe's is number one with a bullet.
Bottom line. You can't reach any sort of conclusion one way or the other by going to both Pepe's and Sally's and ordering a "kid's pizza" (i.e., plain cheese).
re: FoodieJim
and any real New Haven Native knows that the cheese that belongs on Apizza is grated Romano, not Mozzarella.
Going to Sally's (my personal favorite for more than 50 years) and ordering a mozzarella pie borders on sacrelidge.......................
Now that the Yalies are on winter break, I'll be at Sally's enjoying my Apizza and Foxon Park.
re: FoodieJim
Still, is not a basic cheese pizza a good indicator of the overall value of the pizza? Is not (most) every pizza composed of crust, cheese and sauce? Can the variation in toppings really mandate that one goes one place instead of the other? If a place can make a quality basic pizza, it doesn't seem that the toppings should overcome the core problems. Sally's core basic pizza is obviously better, and I don't see how the toppings can substantially alter that.
re: observor
"What we've got here is failure to communicate...some men you just can't reach..." ;P
Ahh, New Haven not-so-civil Pizza Wars...lsnhc and Foodie Jim had the right idea:
"The pie that one orders has so much to do with the final results."
To respond to your questions, whether rhetorical or not:
<<Is not (most) every pizza composed of crust, cheese and sauce?>> No, especially when you're talking about white pies--particularly clam pies.
<<Can the variation in toppings really mandate that one goes one place instead of the other?>> Seriously? HELLS, YEAH!
P.S. to bagelman--Foxon Pahhhk! :) Cheers!
re: observor
re: observor
I have to agree with Obsever that the beat way to judge ANYTHING is just with the basics;
pizza. crust, cheese, sauce
hot dogs,plain
add any toppings to any of the above & it will change the basic taste of it.
they all taste different.
I go to different places because they all taste different. it depends on the taste I'm in the mood for.
if all you do is go to one place' you live a very sheltered life.
observor, it appears that you dwell near Reginas and not near the New Haven trio. You are getting an old fashioned New Haven ass whippin' for your pizza naivete, equal to the ass whippin' North Enders mete out when an outsider vies for a parking space there. With your hard-earned enlightenment from your thread, come back to Pepe's for a white clam pie, and as you drive through RI on 95, bid farewell to the clams that gave their life to adorn your Holy Grail of pizza. I left the area long ago, and I have not found anything that comes close, anywhere.
re: Veggo
I am not talking of a white clam pie pizza, which is clearly unique. I am taking the basic concept of pizza as being crust, sauce, and cheese, and judging these establishments based on that product. If these places tout themselves as being so amazing, they should make a basic pizza as well as any. And a basic pizza of crust, sauce, and cheese is indicated by Sally's being far advanced to Pepe's and Modern.
re: observor
There's clearly an issue that your definition of "basic" is not theirs. In effect you're applying arbitrary criteria and using them to reaching a conclusion that is disputable from first principles.
Face it - this isn't a battle that can be won. You like what you like. Others think differently. There's plenty of pizza to go around.
re: observor
Observor, would you agree that the Ford F-150 is obviously a better vehicle than a Mercedes S-Class because the F-150 has a stronger and more robust chassis? It's the chassis, after-all, that's the basis of a vehicle. (tongue in cheek). If anything's obvious, it's that there is no "better" in the world of food unless everyone taking part in the discussion agrees. I think all the aformentioned pizza places are excellent and I like them all much more than anything we have in Vermont. Pepe's white clam is to die for.
re: observor
But the basics of which you speak are those of Domino's, Papa John's and Pizza Hut. Not New Haven apizza. If I were to go to three New York delis to compare them, I wouldn't order corned beef though all would serve it, and some very well. If you want to know if Pepe's serves a transcendent pie, order a white clam or sausage. If you want to see if Sally's can blow you away, go for the tomato pie with grated cheese. Add a topping if you wish. Coming to a conclusion as to which place you like better is not a simple matter of comparing like pies. Instead, you should try what each place does best and figure out which one gave you greater pleasure.
Well I guess that settles it then………we can all stop this decades long debate……. :-)
The only thing obvious about this debate is that it really depends on people's taste preferences.
That is what makes food and cooking so enjoyable, there rarely is a "right" answer or "right" way to do things. Each pizza place in NH has it's following, which is why they all have been thriving for decades.
Observer, I love the simple honesty of your post.
re: Td61
re: observor
I have had a mozarella pie at all three and I like Modern better than Sally or Pepe's, so your statement that it is "obviously better" is not a true statement. If you had said that " I think" ..... then your statement would be correct.
I am glad that there are so many great pizza options in NH, there is one for everyone!
re: Tinkerbelldee
re: observor
It's OK everyone, Observor has settled this decades long debate……no need for further discussion.
Evidently, Observor's opinion is fact and everyone else should just acknowledge the superiority of this observation.
Glad you liked Sally's, it's a great pie. They are each a good pie in their own right, hence each staying in business for decades. They each have their fans. Glad to see you have a clear winner from your perspective. Enjoy it. Others may prefer another pie…….
re: observor
I did not say it was a true statement. I said that I like Modern better.
If someone is trying to decide on which to choose, as an adult, they should read all the comments about why people prefer one over the other and base their choice on the OPINIONS that they have been provided and the ones that most closely resemble their personal preferences.
When it comes to opinions, there is no real true statement, just personal preference.
re: Tinkerbelldee
Nothing new here. I've been to all 4 (The Spot) & they are just fine. I have my preferences, but it isn't worth the time.
Now, for New Haven the REAL and related question (with similar proclivities) is
Red Sox
- or -
Merry New Year, y'all
re: algct
There is NO question.
New Haven is WEST of the river and in YANKEES Territory. Southern CT is Metro NY, served by Metro North train service.
Even the car manufacturers include New Haven in the Tri-State advertising, while in Hartford it is part of the New England dealers territory.
Order a hot dog in greater New Haven and most of the time (if not nearly all the time) it will be served on a side split bun, not a New England top split roll. Also, it's much easier to get Manhattan Clam Chowder in Yankees territory than in the land of the Red Sux.
re: bagelman01
re: Veggo
You know I was born at Grace New Haven Hospital (long before the name was usurped by Yale) and raised in New Haven and Hamden. I'm still in New Haven county every day and in New Haven at least 3x per week. I only sleep in Fairfield county and upcounty at that.
And when I want Apizza I go to Wooster St, I don't eat at the Pepe's branches in Fairfiled or Danbury, not the same.
I prefer Modern, so it isn't that obvious. However, we are blessed with great pizza in this area and I would never decline a slice from any of the three! You really can't go wrong. Shockingly to non-locals, there are also other great pizza places in the area besides the "big three."
