Very good food and service but expensive, you definitely have to try their chevices and their fabulous desserts, chocolate cigare is the best chocolate dessert I had in years
After reading the reviews, we thought we were in for a very special meal. Overall it was all pretty good, but unfortunately, nothing was memorable (except for the price). Everything was pretty tasty, the ceviches and mojitos probably stand out the most. My husband had a pork dish and I had the fish. I don't recall anything being bad, it... More
My fiancee and I were recently in Miami for two nights - we ate at Ola on our first night and the food was excellent. There were so many good choices on the menu we ended up making our own mini tasting menu to try as much as we could. The foie gras options were all very good and the... More
Hands down best meal we had during our stay in Miami. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, the steak was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We have very high standards for going to expensive dinners, and this restaurant was really impressive. Also, the portions were a nice size (mind you, it is quite expensive but I have been to places... More
Our group of 10 ate there the night before departing on a cruise and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all! The menu was so innovative - a whole page of the menu is devoted to different types of ceviche.

Recently ate at Ola for a company dinner for 20 people. We sat out on the porch and the service was excellent and the food was over the top. I was in heaven over the ceviche choices and fresh fish options.
On our recent trip to Florida, we actually schedule a night in Miami just to return to Ola. I love ceviche, which is one of their specialties and it didn't disappoint the second time around. Every bite of our meal was fabulous. I started out with the tuna ceviche, with fois gras. My husband had the lobster ceviche. Both were... More
We sat outside at Ola on a lovely evening. The setting was very nice. There were 6 of us and we had quite a number of items on the menu.

What does the birth of Jesus mean to you?
Ah! Christmas time—the snow, delicious goodies that are only made this time of the year, friends and family to enjoy the memories and make new ones, and the birth of a Savior that made it all possible!
Have you ever thought of it in those terms? I mean, what would this time of the year be like if the birth of Jesus were not part of the equation? Santa is nice, but even the very essence of Mr. Clause—giving—has its roots in the birth of our Savior.
The angel made a profound statement that first Christmas when he said, "I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."
The birth of Jesus brings joy to the season and to the world, for He is the only one who brings peace to human hearts. It is this concept of peace in one's heart that has changed the course of humankind, and it all began with the birth of Jesus!
The Apostle Paul spoke well of this peace when he declared it was a peace that surpasses all understanding, that it can guard our hearts and minds—in Christ Jesus.
Dear friend, I do not know how your year has been, I do not know the joys you have experienced nor the sorrows you have endured, but this one thing I do know for sure—Jesus Christ came into this world so that you may experience a deep-seated joy and revolutionary peace that cannot be found anywhere on this earth.
It is my earnest prayer for you that you would invite Jesus into your heart and experience what the angels boldly proclaimed, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men on whom His favor rests." For the Lord Almighty has given us His Son, born in a manger, stripped of all heavenly glory, so that you and I would be able to relate to Him, that we would know the true meaning of contentment in all circumstances.
Dear ones, Jesus is the hope of all glory! Invite Jesus to you home and heart this Christmas and experience what the birth means to you!
Merry Christmas!

In Gaston County, sophomore Keyshawn Woods is having quite a season.
Woods, a 6-foot-3 guard, had 27 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals in a 71-65 win over Victory Christian Friday. It was nothing out of the ordinary.
In a 93-64 win over Rock Hill's Westminster Catawba last week, he went for 23 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists - his first career triple-double.
Woods averages 26 points, second in the Observer's coverage area behind East Burke's Clay Byrd (26.1). Woods also averages 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists for Gaston Day (8-5).
When United Faith played at Gaston Day Jan. 3, Falcons coach Muggsy Bogues watched his team win 90-69 but came away impressed.
"He has a lot of potential," Bogues said of Woods. "He's got nice shooting form and can go off the dribble. Zach (Davis) did an excellent job of making him work, but I understand he wasn't feeling as well and wasn't able to move as well as he would like to. But you can tell the young fella has a lot of upside to his game. The mid-range game is more his strength. He's got a great future."
Woods and Gaston Day visit Mecklenburg County to play Davidson Day on Jan. 24 and at Bogues' United Faith team Jan. 27.
It's about time for someone to put together a Martin Luther King Tournament in Charlotte. You could start the tournament Friday and play Sunday and finish Monday. You could do a big Monday showcase. There's a MLK tournament in Greensboro that draws huge crowds. Why let the Triad have all the fun?
Covenant Day's boys beat Metrolina Christian 72-68 Friday, making 23-of-26 free-throw attempts. Metrolina was previously unbeaten against other 3A teams in the Metrolina Athletic Conference.
Thursday, Covenant Day beat Concord's Cannon School 57-47 and made 18-of-21 free throws.
Really impressed with Sweet 16 No. 1 Olympic this season. The Trojans have lots of talent and size and it's scary to think how good they might be if 6-foot-5 forward B.J. Gladden, who has 12 high-major college offers, didn't have to leave school because of residency issues.
One thing I think the Trojans need to watch, though, is their propensity to build big leads and then allow opponents back in the game.
"We lose focus," coach Ty Baumgardner said.
It happened Friday. Olympic was ahead 36-21 at Charlotte Catholic and appeared ready to run away. Then, Olympic scored one point over the next five minutes and saw its lead trimmed to one.
"Sometimes we get a lead and we let off," guard Allerik Freeman said after Friday's 83-66 win. "But our coach does a good job of calling time out, chewing us out and telling us to get back into it. We usually do a good job of getting in there after that."
That might be true, but you have to be careful about letting teams back into a game and trying to "turn it back on." Sometimes you can't flip the switch, and if that happens in the playoffs, a great season could turn sour quick.
We're heading to some of the most competitive boys' conference championship races in history. In the I-Meck, North Mecklenburg (6-1) is ahead of three teams tied for second at 5-2: West Charlotte, Mooresville and Mallard Creek.
In the ME-GA 7, Olympic (6-1) is one game up on Charlotte Catholic. Catholic, Berry (3-3) and Harding (3-3) are all 3A teams fighting for two automatic 3A playoff berths. And in the Southwestern 4A, East Meck upset league-leading South Meck 48-46, creating havoc in that league.
South Meck and Butler lead the league at 6-2. East Meck and Myers Park are 5-2 with Rocky River at 4-3.
The girls' races are pretty tight, too. In the I-Meck, Hopewell and Hough are both 5-1, just ahead of Mallard Creek (5-2). In the ME-GA 7, Berry got a last second shot to beat Harding and get a one-game lead for first. Berry is 5-0. Harding is 5-1. The Southwestern 4A looks like it'll come down to Ardrey Kell (6-1) at Myers Park (7-0) on Jan. 27.

The directed growth of III–V nanopillars is used to demonstrate bottom-up photonic crystal lasers. Simultaneous formation of both the photonic band gap and active gain region is achieved via catalyst-free selective-area metal–organic chemical vapor deposition on masked GaAs substrates. The nanopillars implement a GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs axial double heterostructure for accurate, arbitrary placement of gain within the cavity and lateral InGaP shells to reduce surface recombination. The lasers operate single-mode at room temperature with low threshold peak power density of ~625 W/cm^2. Cavity resonance and lasing wavelength is lithographically defined by controlling pillar pitch and diameter to vary from 960 to 989 nm. We envision this bottom-up approach to pillar-based devices as a new platform for photonic systems integration.

Functional Programming in Scala (and Why You Should Care)
Better Objects with Traits
A Look at Concurrency
Q & A (15 mins)
Dean Wampler is Principal Consultant at Think Big Analytics, specialists in "Big Data", Machine Learning, and the Hadoop ecosystem. He speaks frequently at conferences on various topics, such as the effective use of different programming languages and modularity paradigms: functional, object-oriented, and aspect-oriented programming.
Dean is the co-author of Programming Hive (O'Reilly, 2012), the author of Functional Programming for Java Developers (O'Reilly, 2011) and the co-author of Programming Scala (O'Reilly, 2009).
Comments on this page are now closed.
Dean did a great job augmenting his Programming Scala book with a lot more cometary on each of the topics. The Q&A session at the end of the presentation was about as good as the talk. Excellent presentation!

The TaxPayers' Alliance has today released a new video highlighting how the UK's taxes on people's wages are needlessly complex and obscure. Produced with the team from See what you mean, the video highlights how National Insurance is a second income tax in all but name.
Previous YouGov polling for the TPA has shown that many people are not aware of how much tax they actually pay. The video makes clear the real rates of tax people pay when Employee's National Insurance and Employer's National Insurance are factored in.
Basic: Employer's NI 13.8 % + Income Tax 20 % + Employee's NI 12% = 40.2%
Higher: Employer's NI 13.8 % + Income Tax 40 % + Employee's NI 2% = 49%
Additional: Employer's NI 13.8 % + Income Tax 45 % + Employee's NI 2% = 53.4 %
(See below for an explanation of the combined rates)
Polling has also shown that most do not understand the impact of Employer's National Insurance, which effectively reduces their wages.
Last year the TPA set out how to abolish National Insurance by 2017, which would make the tax system simpler and more transparent. At the 2011 Budget, the Chancellor indicated a desire to merge Income Tax and National Insurance, which Mr Osborne said would be a "historic step to simplify our tax system and make it fit for the modern age". Unfortunately, the Treasury has thus far failed to publish the work of the Office for Tax Simplification on this topic or come up with any solid proposals.
Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"Taxing the same income three times is a pointless complication which only benefits politicians trying to conceal how much tax people really pay. National Insurance has been nothing more than another Income Tax for years and additional redundant taxes mean higher administrative costs for businesses. The Government can and should merge them into a single tax which would be simpler, fairer and more honest."
**Calculations** Employer's National Insurance is added at the rate of 13.8% on top of gross salary. So if you're paid another £87.87 of gross salary, the employer has to pay an additional 13.8%, which would be £12.13, That adds up to £100.
We are proud to present the seventh Town Hall Rich List, the Who's Who of senior local government executives which details the job titles, full remuneration and many of the names of all local council employees whose remuneration exceeds £100,000.
Praised in the past by politicians on both sides of the House of Commons, the Town Hall Rich List remains the definitive guide to senior executive pay in local government, making it a vital tool for taxpayers wanting to judge which authorities are delivering the best value for money.
Since the first edition in 2007, the number of senior staff appearing on the Town Hall Rich List has soared. This is the first time that the TPA has reported a drop in the number on remuneration of more than £100,000, largely because of the considerable number of redundancy packages paid out in 2010-11, which increased total remuneration for that year. The welcome fact that many councils have made their data more accessible and transparent has also had an effect on this figure.
However, executive pay in many town halls across the UK continues to be insulated from economic reality, despite the urgent need to find savings and the fact that many councils claim that they have insufficient cash to fund frontline services.
The key findings of the research are:
Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"It is good news that the number of senior council staff making more than £100,000 a year is finally falling, although that may only be because many authorities have finished paying eye-watering redundancy bills.
"Sadly, too many local authorities are still increasing the number of highly paid staff on their payroll, some of whom are given hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation just to move from one public sector job to another. Residents won't be impressed if their council pleads poverty when it is demanding more and more Council Tax, only then to spend it creating more town hall tycoons."
Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, gave the following reaction to this morning's Queen's Speech:
"It is great news that the Government has shelved plans for some of the cumbersome new regulations and expensive spending commitments that were rumoured before this Queen's Speech.
"Sadly they are still planning enormous increases in the amount of money taken from British families and spent on often wasteful and corrupt foreign aid projects, but at least they are not writing that mistake in law. They are also pressing ahead with their great vanity project, a high speed rail line which is poor value compared to more affordable alternatives, but there is still time to reconsider that white elephant as well.The energy reforms are ambitious but misguided and will do nothing about the draconian targets and stealth taxes that are the real problem for consumers.
"Despite some important progress in this speech, ministers still have a lot of work to do if they really want to ease the enormous pressure on family budgets and create the simpler, fairer and more competitive tax system that they claim to be trying to achieve."
At the Queen's Speech on Wednesday, new laws will be proposed for the coming parliamentary year. Many of the laws reported to be under consideration will have important consequences for taxpayers.
The Government needs to choose. It can either ensure that taxpayers get better value and greater accountability from how their money is spent, or it can enshrine new wasteful spending and onerous regulations in law. We will be following the speech closely and making the case for taxpayer value to be the first priority.
Cutting spending
· DO: Drop the plan to enshrine the 0.7 per cent aid spending target in law
· DON'T: Introduce a paving bill for High Speed Rail 2
Reforming taxes
· DO: Introduce a tax reform bill to abolish National Insurance
· DON'T: Pile new taxes on already overtaxed homeowners
Protecting taxpayers
· DO: Give voters the right to recall MPs who have let them down
· DON'T: Introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol or plain packaging for tobacco
Cutting spending
DO: Drop the plan to enshrine the 0.7 per cent aid spending target in law
The Government should not set an arbitrary target to spend a certain amount on foreign aid that ignores the changing needs of recipients; whether the money can be spent efficiently and controlled properly; the private generosity of taxpayers giving their own money; and the economic situation in Britain. Our 2009 paper Lost along the way: The cost of the UK's international development programme showed how DfID was already spending large amounts on programmes where much of the money would not reach frontline projects.
DON'T: Introduce a paving bill for a new high speed rail line
Proposals for a new high speed rail line would mean spending well over a thousand pounds for every family in Britain and do not represent value for money. Many towns would see a worse service under the current plans and the economic case is based on flawed assumptions. Realising ministers' promises for the effects of the line will create further significant costs for taxpayers. Three key TaxPayers' Alliance research projects that have studied the likely effects of going ahead with the proposed new line: High Speed Rail, HS2 Capacity Analysis and The hidden costs of HS2.
Reforming taxes
DO: Introduce a tax reform bill to abolish National Insurance
The Single Income Tax, the final report of the 2020 Tax Commission convened by the TPA with support from the Institute of Directors, called for strategic reforms to create a much simpler, fairer and more competitive tax system. An early step that would ease the administrative burden on employers and make the tax system more transparent and honest would be to abolish National Insurance and merge it with Income Tax. Our recent paper How to abolish National Insurance shows how that can be done.
DON'T: Make home ownership less attractive with new taxes and ever higher stamp duty
The Government must resist calls for new taxes on property. Property taxes are already twice as high – as a share of GDP – in the UK as they are on average in other OECD countries (see page 12 of our Fiscal Factbook). Stamp Duty creates particular problems for first time buyers and growing families (for more detail, see The Single Income Tax, Section 6.2.3).
Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said:
"The Government should use the Queen's Speech as an opportunity to ease the burden on taxpayers struggling to balance their own budgets. To do that, ministers must resist the temptation to introduce eye-catching bills which more often than not involve commitments to spend other people's money or introduce cumbersome new regulations. Instead they should seize important opportunities to put in place simpler, fairer and more competitive taxes and make sure the politicians spending the money are accountable to the people who pick up the bill."
We can today reveal that a massive £1.1 billion was paid last year in Business Rates on empty properties, a rise of 19 per cent between 2009-10 and 2011-12.
This is the first time that a figure has been calculated for the amount collected in empty property rates since exemptions for empty commercial and industrial properties were abolished at the 2007 Budget. Prior to 2007, empty industrial properties were exempt from Business Rates and empty commercial properties were subject to extensive reliefs and reductions.
Click here to read the full report including council-by-council data
Now, apart from a short exemption period and extremely limited reliefs, full Business Rates are payable on all empty commercial and industrial properties. With the economic downturn making it increasingly difficult for landlords to find new tenants, this tax has had some devastating effects:
A number of senior members of the Coalition Government were vocal in their criticism of this tax on empty property while in opposition.
In government, however, both Coalition parties have failed to address the issue.
The report includes a figure for the amount collected in empty property rates by every council in England, Scotland and Wales over the last three years, with the totals region-by-region as follows:

Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"It is extremely unfair that property owners are being hit with enormous Business Rates on properties which are empty, with no rent coming in that they can use to pay the bill.
"There are elderly people who invested in a small commercial or industrial unit in the reasonable expectation that the rent would top up their pension. This new tax is ruining them. The rest of us lose out as the mere threat of having to pay rates on empty properties is discouraging people from putting money into new developments or refurbishing existing properties, which is undermining the prospects for economic growth.
"As the true scale of this ugly tax becomes apparent, Ministers cannot keep ignoring their own rhetoric in opposition and leave it in place."
We have published our post-Budget briefing this morning, complete with graphical illustrations to complement its analysis of the Chancellor's announcements.
The key findings are as follows:
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced a number of welcome measures to relieve the tax burden on struggling families in today's Budget, including:
However, the TPA has warned that the Chancellor is still relying too much on complicated measures to help specific industries, rather than making fairer and simpler changes to the overall tax structure.
Reacting to today's Budget, Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"George Osborne has announced welcome relief for people struggling with the high cost of living. The cut in beer tax, the freeze in fuel duty and the higher personal allowance will all ease the pressure on family budgets. Lower Employers' National Insurance and Corporation Tax will also be passed on to workers in higher wages."Unfortunately, the great limitation of this budget was that it relied far too much on complicated targeted reliefs instead of tax cuts across the board. Simpler, strategic tax reforms that reduce the overall burden would be fairer and do more to produce the stronger economy Britain needs."
Writing in today's Daily Telegraph, our Chief Executive, Matthew Sinclair argues that the Government tries its best to hide how much it takes – but the voters deserve the truth.
What is your actual rate of tax? Or, to put it another way, if your employer decided you were worth another £100, how much of that would the Government let you keep?
Ahead of Wednesday's Budget, the TaxPayers' Alliance asked YouGov to find out how much people thought those on an income of £25,000 – just below the national average – would be able to take home out of that £100.
Following the results of the YouGov poll we commissioned to survey people's fiscal knowledge of our tax system and government spending we have put some of the questions online in the form of a quiz. How good is your fiscal knowledge?
Click here to take the test and see how well you do
The poll coincides with the launch of our new Fiscal Factbook that seeks to help inform the public about how much of our money government takes – and how it is spent.
The headline findings from the YouGov survey commissioned by the TaxPayers' Alliance are as follows:
Despite those misunderstandings – which suggest that the public do not appreciate the full burden of government spending and taxes – most still believe that taxes and spending are too high, and do not expect the government to be able to afford pensioner benefits at their current level by the time they come to retire:
The Fiscal Factbook is a handy pocket-sized guide to how much the government takes from us in taxes, how that money is then spent and how much we really owe.
The 28-page booklet contains a number of eye-catching graphics to explain a variety startling statistics which every taxpayer should know.
Comment on the polling and release of the Fiscal Factbook, Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"Politicians have spent decades tinkering with our tax system and making it more and more complicated and opaque."Far too many people now do not understand how much they are paying and why there is so much pressure on their living standards. But they do understand that the tax burden has got well out of hand. The belief that the Government can or should continue to spend more of our money is now confined to a radical fringe."Politicians of all parties need to set out strategic reforms to create a much more open and honest tax system that leaves more money in people's pockets."
As reported in the Telegraph and the South Yorkshire Times today the failed South Yorkshire Digital Regional scheme is to be offloaded to the private sector at a cost of £1.3 million to the taxpayer. Doncaster Council took the decision yesterday to transfer ownership of the failed network from four local governments – Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield and Barnsley – to the private sector company Bouygue Energy and Services based in France because it is cheaper than shutting down the network completely.
The South Yorkshire Digital Regional scheme was launched in 2009 with the aim of serving 97% of the geographical area with superfast broadband. At a cost of over £100 million made up of taxpayer funded money primarily coming from the European Regional Development Fund along with local and national money, the project has failed to achieve the projected 97% target and has failed to gain significant customer sign-ups.
In a report from Doncaster Council made available ahead of the meeting yesterday the council saw no other way to proceed than to go ahead with re-procurement. It said that scrapping the project would result in having to pay back the EU the money that it already spent on the scheme. Additionally, it would have to renegotiate the terms of the original scheme to account for rolling out superfast broadband to only 80% of the region. The report highlights the following goals for the re-procurement:
· Maintain the original vision for the Digital Region project
· Find new capabilities and expertise from a new operator
· Transfer the risk of operating the network to the private sector
· Cap shareholder liabilities
· Have a new contract in a form that avoid clawback of the European grant used to build the network
· Remain State Aid compliant
· Be cheaper than the alternative – which is closure
What would have been a better alternative? Eighty miles south company called Rutland Telecom provides non-BT (or non-UK telecommunications incumbent) fibre to the home and fibre to the cabinet broadband. And here is the catch – they need to signup at least 30% of a community in order to build out a network. This means that new networks are built out only if there is a demand for it. Any other business would do the same in the private sector.
In a recent OFCOM report one statistic stood out among all the others with respect to superfast broadband. Of the 67% of the UK that has access to superfast broadband only 7% chooses to take it up. The South Yorkshire Digital Regional scheme would have save a lot of taxpayers' money if they had obtained pre-enrollment prior to building out the network. Other taxpayer funded superfast network projects should take note and use the South Yorkshire Digital Regional scheme failure as a warning.
Burning Our Money, by former City and Treasury economist Mike Denham, exposes the wasteful spending and poor public sector performance that have left a huge hole in our public finances. Tackling wasteful spending and reforming public services would pave the way for the tax cuts required to revive the economy.
Click here to find Burning Our Money on Amazon.co.uk
This new book finds shocking levels of waste in the big-ticket items of government expenditure, like the NHS, welfare and education.
How politicians burn our money:
Mike Denham, author of Burning Our Money and TaxPayers' Alliance Research Fellow, said:
"Politicians are still spending far too much money and our public services are not delivering value. Successive governments have failed to tackle the waste and bureaucracy strangling our economy, and have failed to reform key areas like the NHS and welfare. Decades of evidence shows that simply throwing more money at public services does not improve them. The Government must face up to the gravity of the situation we're in and map out a plan to cut spending and get more for less."
Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"Despite all the talk of austerity, the Government continues to spend nearly half of our national income and is trying to pay for it with ever higher taxes. If we want to deliver the tax cuts that would give families and businesses a badly needed break, the Chancellor has to get a grip on spending. This brilliant book shows him how."

Roundup: A's crush Blue Jays in record-setting shutout
TORONTO (AP) – Coco Crisp hit two home runs and Yoenis Cespedes had a pair of RBI doubles, leading A.J. Griffin and the Oakland Athletics over the Toronto Blue Jays 16-0 Wednesday night for their season-high seventh consecutive win.
It was the most-lopsided shutout loss ever for Toronto. Things got so out of hand that the Blue Jays used catcher Jeff Mathis to pitch the ninth inning, and he gave up two runs on an RBI double by Brandon Hicks and an RBI single by Brandon Moss.
Chris Carter homered and drove in three runs. He drew a bases-loaded walk from Ricky Romero during an eight-run second inning as Oakland improved to 16-2 in July.
Griffin (3-0) gave up three hits in six innings. The rookie struck out nine in winning his third straight start and leaving with a 2.25 ERA.
Romero (8-7) lasted 1⅓ innings in the shortest start of his career. He lost his sixth decision in a row.
Crisp hit a leadoff drive to right in the third and went deep to almost the same spot in the fifth, his first multihomer game of the season and the third of his career.
The A's posted their fifth 16-0 shutout in franchise history and their first since a lopsided win over San Francisco on June 26, 2005.
Jonny Gomes reached base four times for Oakland, now 10-1 since the All-Star break.
Mathis came into the game in the second after Toronto lost catcher J.P. Arencibia to a broken right hand after he was hit by Brandon Inge's foul tip. Arencibia stayed in the game until the half-inning ended and is expected to miss six weeks.
Romero, who came in 4-0 with a 1.70 ERA in six career starts against the Athletics, allowed eight runs on four hits and six walks.
Already leading on Cespedes' RBI double in the first, Oakland broke it open in the second.
Left fielder Travis Snider's error on Crisp's single led to the first run, and Gomes followed with an RBI single. Josh Reddick added an RBI double and, after an intentional walk to Cespedes loaded the bases, Romero ended his night by walking Carter to force home a fifth run.
Inge greeted reliever Chad Beck with a two-run double, Derek Norris grounded a run-scoring single through the right side and Hicks capped the rally with an RBI groundout.
The eight runs matched Oakland's biggest inning of the season. The A's also scored eight in the second inning of a 12-1 win over Texas on June 4.
Crisp's two solo shots made it 11-0 before Carter hit a drive in the sixth off Drew Carpenter, his sixth.
Rangers 5, Red Sox 3
ARLINGTON, Texas — Derek Holland struck out seven and pitched into the eighth inning and Texas took advantage of a couple of wild throws by Josh Beckett to score the go-ahead run over Boston Red Sox.
Elvis Andrus was hit on the left forearm by a pitch to reach with one out in the seventh. He got to third on a single by Adrian Beltre and scored to break a 3-all tie when Beckett (5-9) threw a wild pitch that bounced several feet wide of the plate.
Holland (7-5) allowed three runs and five hits in 7⅔ innings, and came out of the game soon after a stretch when he retired 20 of 22 batters.
Nelson Cruz led off the eighth with his 13th homer, to greet Red Sox reliever Matt Albers.
Yankees 5, Mariners 2
SEATTLE — Pinch-hitter Jayson Nix lined a three-run double off reliever Shawn Kelley in the eighth inning as New York rallied over Seattle to complete a 2-5 West Coast trip.
Nix's liner scored Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira. It was Nix's first hit in eight at-bats during the Yankees' trip.
Jeter homered in the first inning, his eighth of the season, off Hisashi Iwakuma.
Lucas Luetge (1-1) loaded the bases and was relieved by Kelley.
Nix is 2-for-3 this season as a pinch-hitter.
Seattle got just one hit after Jesus Montero's broken-bat single with one out in the first inning.
Tigers 5, Indians 3
CLEVELAND — Max Scherzer allowed two runs over seven innings to win his fourth consecutive decision and Detroit beat Cleveland for the second time in eight meetings this season.
Quintin Berry had three hits and drove in two runs to help Scherzer (10-5) win for the first time in four career starts at Progressive Field.
Scherzer, whose only mistake came on Casey Kotchman's two-run homer in the third, held the Indians to three hits, struck out eight and walked four.
Jose Valverde gave up Travis Hafner's one-out homer in the ninth before recording his 19th save in 23 chances.
Derek Lowe (8-9) allowed five runs in six innings but wasn't helped by shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera's throwing errors on back-to-back plays that allowed two runs to score in the second.
White Sox 8, Twins 2
CHICAGO — Dayan Viciedo homered and drove in four runs as Chicago completed a three-game sweep of Minnesota.
Viciedo hit a two-run single in the second inning and added a two-run homer in the fourth, finishing with three hits. Alex Rios homered for the White Sox, who have won 10 of their last 11 home games.
Jake Peavy (8-7) allowed two runs — one earned — and six hits in six innings with six strikeouts and two walks.
Kevin Youkilis left the game in the fourth inning due to a sprained left ankle. He had an RBI single in the third before being lifted for a pinch-hitter.
Angels 11, Royals 6
ANAHEIM, Calif. —Jered Weaver won his seventh consecutive start to equal a career best and Mike Trout and Torii Hunter homered as Los Angeles downed Kansas City.
Weaver (13-1) threw 101 pitches over five innings, allowing two runs and three hits while his AL-leading ERA rose from 2.20 to 2.27 because of Billy Butler's two-run homer in the fifth, his 20th.
Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar (6-9) was ejected in the fourth inning by plate umpire Bob Davidson after hitting Trout — immediately following a homer by Bobby Wilson that gave the Angels an 8-0 lead.
Trout's homer was his 16th. Hunter's was his 11th.

They should be able to go into the admin and change their profile details, but not touch anything else. Could i restrict access to only one page in the admin for that user role? And if the user tries to visit another page in the admin, redirect him somewhere else?
Is it possible to do these two things?

Turn Key Engines is expanding its retro-fit line to serve select late-model applications, starting with a 430-horsepower LS engine swap into the JK series of Jeep Wranglers.
Although the JK Wranglers, which started production in 2007 and continue today, have some of the most advanced off-roading and comfort features ever offered in the popular utility vehicle — they're down on power.
We can go from 350 to 1,200 horsepower.
— Kolby Enger
"It's miserable with 200 horsepower. We can double the power easily," says Kolby Enger of Turn Key, which is based in Oceanside, California. "And it's 50-state legal."
The 6.2-liter engine is mated to a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission.
"We integrate the GM engine ECU into the Jeep system, and there's a stand-alone controller for the transmission," says Enger.
Turn Key has numerous retro-fit packages to install LS engines into '55-'57 Chevys, 1st- and 2nd-generation F-bodies, '64-'72 Chevelles and other A-bodies, most pickup trucks and the '83-'88 G-body. Besides an LS engine built to the customer's specifications, the kit includes custom oil pan, mounts, headers specific to the vehicle and a radiator.Standard features on the LS engines include full ignition system with coil packs and plugs, a Delphi ECU with Turn Key's calibrations, marine-grade wiring harness, serpentine belt system, fuel pump and regulator, alternator, water pump and all the necessary brackets. Customers can also get a detail package with filters, hardware, temp and pressure sending units, flywheel or flex plate, Corvette covers and the installation guide.
In addition to the LS engines, Turn Key offers 2.2- and 2.4-liter Ecotec 4-cylinder engines and select Ford models. And the company can develop race packages.
"We can go from 350 to 1,200 horsepower," sums up Enger.

Taking Its Toll
I feel compelled to respond to Jay Nachman's "For Whom the Tolls Toll" [Slant, Aug. 21, 2008]. For a big-city columnist, traveling through rural Pennsylvania might seem boring. But for many, the rural character of the I-80 corridor is by far preferable to the daily grind of bumper-to-bumper commutes, the "interesting" high-density housing complexes and strip malls Jay prefers.
It's easy for someone who rarely uses I-80 to be cavalier about tolling because it's not your ox that's being gored. In reality, tolling I-80 will weaken the state's economy. Hundreds of businesses along the corridor will be adversely affected, rendering them less competitive and able to survive in the global marketplace.
Pennsylvania has a need for additional revenues to fund road and bridge repairs. And, while it's true that tolling I-80 might help to some extent, the revenues from tolling will be offset by the decline in the state's tax base as a result. There are alternatives, which would not inflict the kinds of wounds on the state's economy that would result from Act 44.
Your readers should demand the legislature hold hearings on other proposals, take testimony from advocates and opponents, listen to experts and then deliberate in search of the best solution. This deliberative process was sadly missed when Act 44 was passed because many in the Pennsylvania legislature exhibit the same contempt for rural Pennsylvania as was reflected in your column.

David Faris approaches the Russo-Georgian conflict as a detached observer [Slant, "Georgia on our Minds," Aug. 14, 2008]. It is apparent that no one in his family ever escaped a Siberian prison camp, gave compulsory service to the Soviet Army or faced resettlement for disagreeing with the prevailing ideology. As a second generation Ukrainian-American, I feel obligated to respond to his commentary.
There is an uncomfortable parallel between the United States' involvement in Iraq and the events in Eastern Europe — any admonition from the U.S. could be construed as hypocrisy. However, Faris overlooks the ties between the U.S. and the former Soviet Socialist Republics that developed in the wake of the Soviet Union's dissolution.
When satellite nations gained independence from Russia's centuries-long oppression, they solicited and received support from the U.S. They needed diplomatic recognition as sovereign states from the White House, invited western commerce in order to build national economic infrastructures and looked to the U.S. system of government as a model for creating a democratic society. Perhaps Faris' perception is so clouded by cynical American narcissism that he can't conceive of Russia's behavior as a serious threat to the national sovereignty of an entire people.
In April 2008, Ukraine and Georgia sought admission to NATO. France and Germany voted against their induction because Russia threatened to interrupt oil supplies to Northern Europe. And now Russia tests the waters of imperialistic re-consolidation. Anything less than a condemnation from the U.S. implies not only an abandonment of support, but also the abandonment of the ideal of national sovereignty. The Eastern European community in Philadelphia stands in solidarity with the Georgian people.

The Colorado Avalanche have opted to match the Calgary Flames' offer sheet to restricted free agent forward Ryan O'Reilly.
The two-year offer carries an average annual value of $5 million. O'Reilly will make $1 million in base salary for 2012-13 with a signing bonus worth $2.5 million. His 2013-14 salary will be $6.5 million.
"This was a goal of ours from the outset, to get Ryan signed," Avalanche general manager Greg Sherman said. "That goal has never changed. Sometimes the process takes a little longer than you would expect or want, but he's staying with the Colorado Avalanche.
"Given the timeframe we moved on this, it's clear what our (objective) was," Sherman added. "We moved very quickly and efficiently to make a decision to match the offer."
The Flames announced they had signed O'Reilly to an offer sheet earlier on Thursday evening.Though thwarted in their attempt to sign O'Reilly, the Flames stood by their decision to offer-sheet the young centre.
"We believe Ryan O'Reilly is a franchise player," the Flames said in a statement released Thursday night. "While we attempted to acquire him via trade, we felt the asking price was too steep and would negatively impact our future. As such, we decided to tender an offer sheer and were very pleased to have the player accept our offer."
"We attempted to structure the offer so as to enhance our chances of getting the player. We attempted to improve our hockey team and will continue to do so going forward."
Colorado had a seven-day window to match the offer or accept compensation from the Flames. Had the Avalanche chosen not to match the offer sheet they would have received Calgary's first- and third-round choices at the 2013 NHL Draft.
With a second-year salary of $6.5 million, a potential qualifying offer for O'Reilly's next contract would have to equal that amount. Since Colorado decided to match the Flames' offer they may not trade O'Reilly within one calendar year.
The 22-year-old forward scored 18 goals and 37 assists in 81 games.
Originally drafted in the second round (33rd overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, O'Reilly has scored 39 goals and 68 assists for 107 points in 236 career games with the Avalanchens.
The 2011-12 season was O'Reilly's final year on the three-year entry-level deal he signed with Colorado prior to the 2009-10 season.
Round 2 continues with Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk taking on Shawn Matthias of the Florida Panthers.Watch the video and vote for your favourite play!
