NBA 2012 Early Coach of the Year Candidates for the First Quarter
By Abacus Reveals ,
This season's labor strife almost cost the prestigious NBA Coach of the Year award its fiftieth birthday.
First awarded in 1963 to Harry Gallatin of the St. Louis Hawks, and like the MVP and many other individual awards, Coach of the Year is recognition for regular-season accomplishment. How exactly this accomplishment is to be judged has been left to the discretion of the voters.
Consequently, only five of the 49 selections to date have been able to add a title ring in the same year—Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs in 2002-03, Phil Jackson for his 72-win Chicago Bulls in 1995-96, Bill Sharman in recognition of his Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak in 1971-72, Red Holzman for the 1969-70 New York Knicks, and Mr. Red Auerbach himself for his 1964-65, "Havlicek Stole the Ball" Boston Celtics.
Excluding the most recent negotiation-shortened season of 1999, 15 NBA seasons have yielded a Coach of the Year from a team with fewer than 50 wins. Hubie Brown of the 1977-78 Atlanta Hawks and Doc Rivers with his 1999-2000 Orlando Magic both walked off with the Red Auerbach Trophy on the heels of an even .500 season.
And then there's the puzzling case of John "Red" Kerr, which we'll get to shortly.
Now let's see who's making a play for this season's honor.
Two Philadelphia 76ers coaches have danced off with the top honor, the mercurial Larry Brown in 2000-01 and Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes way back in 1965-66. Brown's Allen Iverson-led squad reached the Finals against Kobe and Shaq. Schayes's bunch, with Wilt Chamberlain and a more than solid supporting cast, would not get past Bill Russell's Celtics until the following season, although Schayes never got the chance to defend his coaching pre-eminence.
Current 76ers head man Doug Collins lacks that ultra-elite player, but his cohesive unit took over the lead of the Atlantic Division during the season's second week and seem intent on staying right there.
In 12 of the Sixers' 20 games through the season's first five weeks, the relatively deliberate pace of play resulted in fewer than 95 Philly possessions. The Collins crew is 10-2 in those games, a mere 4-4 with faster-paced play.
The 76ers have kept the tempo to their liking for six consecutive games now and sit currently as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, sporting the fifth-best record in the league.
But before Dougie clears out a spot on the mantle for that impressive piece of hardware, he might consider the fates of the two prior Sixers COY's.
Brown was off to Detroit and an NBA championship two years after winning his.
Schayes was rewarded by Sixers owner Irv Kosloff with a pink slip, the consequence of a 1-4 playoff pasting at the hands of Boston.
Poor Dolph didn't even get the fancy trophy; it was introduced the following year and won—somehow—by the aforementioned Mr. Kerr.
It's one thing for the champions' coach to be passed over. After all, the voting is conducted before the playoffs begin.
But the 1966-67 result defies logic.
Rookie player-coach Bill Russell notched 60 wins with an aging Celtic outfit.
But Dolph Schayes' replacement had the real beef. The 76ers of Alex Hannum, the 1963-64 winner with the San Francisco Warriors and Wilt, won 46 of their first 50 games en route to an unprecedented 69-12 record. Regardless to level of talent, that's impressive.
Chicago, which had lost its Zephyr franchise to Baltimore in 1963, was awarded an expansion franchise that year. Johnny "Red" Kerr, native son and Illinois graduate, was hired on a heels of a championship (1955 Syracuse Nationals) playing career.
Kerr led the brand-new Bulls to the final Western Division playoff spot, albeit with a 33-48 (.407) season, and became the initial recipient of the Auerbachian hardware. (It seemed to matter little to the voters that eight of the leagues 10 teams qualified for post-season play back then.)
If this standard of over-achievement—winning games when you really should not—predominates the thinking of current voters, then Avery Johnson of the not-yet-Brooklyn Nets should be the hands-down winner.
Sure, his team is saddled with a .333 winning percentage through 21 games.
But his team was statistically outplayed in over half its victories. In last Friday's tilt at Cleveland, for example, the Cavaliers converted (i.e. scored a field goal or earned two free throw attempts) 49 of their possessions, compared to 46 conversions for A.J's guys, yet the Nets prevailed 99-96.
They were similarly "out-converted," by the Wizards (47-44), Suns (44-42) and Warriors (50-49), in victories.
Defending Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau of the Bulls is Johnson's closest rival in such improbable wins this season with three.
But that accounts for only 18 percent of Chicago's wins.
Avery Johnson's Nets have defied the odds in fully 57 percent of their wins this season.
If that's not good enough for the Red Auerbach Trophy, then maybe there should be a Red Kerr Cup.
If fate had chosen to deal out just one card differently back when the 1980's were turning into the 90's, George Karl rather than Phil Jackson might have been dubbed Zenmaster or some other catchy and marketable moniker.
Unfortunately for Karl, a fella named Jordan wound up in the opposing locker room for the 1996 NBA Finals, and just plain ol' George has had to content himself with being a highly respected, perennially 50-win pro coach.
But the parallels between Karl and Jackson are many.
Both were hard-nosed borderline "hatchet men" in uniform.
Their college and pro mentors—for Phil, Bill Fitch and Red Holzman; for George, Dean Smith and Doug Moe—were an enlightening mix of the conventional old school and innovative, out-of-the-box thinking.
Each was willing to hone his craft in the CBA—once a minor league, rather than a negotiated document, at least until Isiah Thomas got his hands on it—ironically in the same God-forsaken outpost of Albany, NY with an outfit known as Patroons.
And both were available in 1989, Karl fresh off his Patroon, when the Bulls were looking to replace our old friend Mr. Collins.
Of course, Jackson got the gig, and Karl was on the Seattle bench soon thereafter.
In his current seven-year run with the Nuggets, he has managed the team through the Les Affaires of Carmelo Anthony along with an alarmingly serious personal health crisis.
This season though, Karl has fashioned a fast-paced offense around the three-headed, play-making monster of Ty Lawson, Andre Miller and Danilo Gallinari—at times all together.
The polar opposites of Collins's Sixers in all but 14-6 record, the Nuggets have amassed fewer than 95 possessions in only three games thus far.
And while Denver will endure its second three-in-a-row later this week, they will face only 10 back-to-backs in the season's final 11 weeks, with only two in the entire month of March.
While George will never catch up with old nemesis Phil in O'Brien trophies, he may just even the score on the Auerbach front—unless A.J. keeps pulling rabbits out of his hat.

Not a fan to weird of a taste to go with chocolate but others may enjoy I they like weird taste put together into one product.
This bar is so good! If you are expecting a hershey bar, that's not what this is. It's a complex flavored treat! It's so much more flavorful than regular chocolate bars. Love this and can't wait to try more from Askinosie!
I love dark chocolate with nuts or a little sea salt. But this bar was waaay too salty. The pistachio pieces were too big for this thin bar & should have been finely chopped. The quality of chocolate was also a little lackluster. My son didn't even like it. He broke off a piece, took one bite & threw the rest out. Too expensive for such a disappointing chocolate bar. Save your money fellow chocolate lovers.

Nelson has some serious problems. His marriage has fallen apart, and he may lose his land, cash and crop in the divorce. What's more, in need of some quick cash, he had foolishly agreed to smuggle $90,000 worth of cocaine through customs for Harry Lally, a major player in a drug syndicate. Chickening out just before bringing the drugs through, he flushed the powder. Now Lally wants him dead, and two goons are hot on his trail. Desperate, terrified and alone, for Nelson, there may be only one way out.
This is Denis Johnson's biggest and most complex book to date, and it perfectly showcases his signature themes of fate, redemption and the unraveling of the fabric of today's society. Already Dead, with its masterful narrative of overlapping and entwined stories, will further fuel the acclaim that surrounds one of today's most fascinating writers.

Philippines' own Mutya Johanna Datul (21) became the winner of the 5th edition of Miss Supranational. The beauty from Santa Maria (Isabela) also won the 'Miss Personality' award and became Asia's first ever winner. The TV finals took place in front of an audience of 5,000 at the Palace of Sports in Minsk with a live transmission to over 1 billion people in more than 100 countries.
In 2nd place was Mexico's Jacqueline Morales and in 3rd place was Turkey's Leyla Kose.
Indonesia (Istri Krisnanda) and US Virgin Islands (Esonica Vieira) came in 4th and 5th places respectively.
The 5th anniversary of Miss Supranational took place in Belarus for over three weeks, with the contestants visiting places of interest such as Vitebsk, Grodno, Brest, and of course the capital Minsk. It was the first time that the competition traveled abroad after 4 editions held in Poland.
We want to thank our national directors for the excellent quality of their gorgeous representatives. Thank you, ladies, for joining the show, and thank you, directors for believing in us.
In its 5-year run, the Miss Supranational pageant managed to become one of the top international beauty competitions. Produced by Nowa Scena from 2009-2013, we are glad to announce that the polish company will also be in charge of production for the coming 5 years.
ONT, the Belarusian broadcasting company, surprised on 16 January on its televised press conference with the announcement that the 5th edition of the MISS SUPRANATIONAL Grand Slam Pageant will be hosted in the Eastern European country of Belarus.
"We are very proud that our Polish launch partner who already orginated another international pageant in Belarus in 2009 and the victory of Katsiaryna Buraya in 2012 gave reason to bring the first Grand Slam pageant to Belarus", a spokeperson of the World Beauty Association mentioned in the capital city: "We look forward to promoting Belarus to the world".
The new Miss Supranational 2013 will be elected in the Sport's Palace of Minsk on 6 September. Arrival date for entering the sight-seeing and rehearsal phase is 17/18 August. The contestants depart from Belarus on 7/8 September 2013.
The success story continues. The TV gala of MISS SUPRANATIONAL 2012 exceeded the dynamic and quality of last year's final. The stage was again overwhelming. Producer Nowa Scena proved once more to be able to improve year by year with new ideas and a fabulous choreography. The performance of the stunning candidates of MISS SUPRANATIONAL 2012 was simply breathtaking. Again and again thunderous applause rewarded the female stars on stage. Loud fans from Puerto Rico and Ecuador including its representatives of the embassy in Warsaw were heard.
The fever pitch was reached when Monika Lewczuk, the outgoing Miss Supranational titleholder, entered the stage of Hala MERA, a TV event and convention center in the Polish capital, to hand over her crown. Out of the 20 semifinalists the jury elected Sulay Castillo from Ecuador 4th runner-up, Elaine Kay Moll from the Philippines 3rd runner-up, Michaela Dihlova of the Czech Republic 2nd runner-up and Nanthawan Wannachutha from Thailand 1st runner-up.
Then a always fresh, thoughout prepared, friendly and decent contestant made it to the top. With a narrow margin of one vote in comparison to the Asian beauty
The delegation from belarus cheered and was ravished by the sudden success. Their celebration outlasted the after-show party in the elite music club "Foksal XVIII". The audience was delighted and the present Ambassadors thanked for the utmost sucessful entertainment.
For the first time Warsaw will set the stage for the most dynamic, excellent and honest beauty contest in recent years. Poland made Miss Supranational a true success story. Chosen for the launch, Polish TV producer Nowa Scena Sp. z o.o. convinced through the best stage and TV production of an international TOP beauty contest seen in years. This high level together with an always up-beat class of candidates made MISS SUPRANATIONAL enter the Grand Slam of Beauty Pageants which is earmaked exclusively for the very best in worldwide pageants.
Our Narional Directors and we say "Thank you, Poland" with

They depart in the afternoon of 16 September 2012.
SUPPORT and ENJOY WITH US the new quality of beauty contests! Visit Poland from the Baltic Sea to its capital Warsaw!
This is what made MISS SUPRANATIONAL a Grand Slam pageant: thanks to the selection skills of the license holders a very high level of beautiful contestants from all over the world, a host organization creating the currently leading production worldwide, a dynamic TV show and amazing stage which is simply the best at the moment and for the third time in a row a stunning winner.
For the third and perhaps last time the modern amphitheater of the Polish city of Plock was the venue of the Grand Finale's telecast. Close to 11:00 PM CET Miss Supranational 2010, the drop-dead gorgeous Ms Karina Pinilla from Panama, entered the romantic place submontane situated at the Vistula river under the old town's illuminated cathedral to crown her successor. Four happy ladies waiting on the state-of-the-art, large stage with its LED crown made it already to the TOP: Ludmila Yakimovich from Belarus became 1st runner-up, Valery Velez from Puerto Rico 2nd runner-up, Daniela Nguyenova from Vietnam 3rd runner-up and Krystelle Khoury from the USA 4th runner-up. And then the winner's announcement has been received with standing ovations:
The 23-years old student, model and singer from Poland drew in most of the jury's votes. The fair-haired beauty plays piano and loves dancing as well as traveling.
MISS SUPRANATIONAL 2011 was again not a typical beauty contest with its catwalking, selections or in advance prepared interview rounds. It was an highly entertaining performance and exciting presentation until the end: an ambitous, sophisticated choreography with 70 young stars showing the world that talent is in each of us if you are truly willing to tear down own borders to be supranational.

Oksana Moria from Ukraine, the first MISS SUPRANATIONAL, has a dignified successor - elected on 28 August 2010 in the modern amphitheater of the Polish city of Plock. The romantic venue submontane situated at the Vistula river under the old town's illuminated cathedral came up with an impressive stage in a crown style and again with a breath-taking, new colorful animation. Roundabout 25 National Directors and 75 family members of 66 international contestants were among the more than 3,000 guests of the in Poland and abroad televised gala when the results of MISS SUPRANATIONAL's second edition were announced.
The majority of the jury of eleven people elected the 25-year old model from Central America who studies advertising and merchandizing at the Interamerican University in Panama-City as the world's most beautiful woman.
Last year's premiere of MISS SUPRANATIONAL already made dreams come true. But can you excel the best? Yes, we can!
This was again no simple beauty contest but high class TV entertainment with 66 new stars from around the world in addition to international musicians like Katerine, MistChill and Michaela de la Cour (ex Army of Lovers) as well as famous interpreters from this year's host country like Patricia Kazadi, Miss Project and France based Michal Kwiatkowski. An utmost challenging and sophisticated choreography of the in English language only presented show made not only the difference to other global premium pageants but helped the candidates to recognize their skills, to perform under stress, to thrive and prosper and to go beyond their potential. A lifetime experience!
At the gala's end the contestants gave a terrific finish. They performed together the song "We Are the World". Mrs Yandar Lobón, WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION's President from Colombia, who attended this year's show in Poland and was already smitten with Miss Panama's success, added touched: "They are truly supranational".
WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION is proud of its contestants, the license holders who sent those outstanding representatives of their countries, the sponsors who made this event possible and the host who made a great job.

A new sovereign of global beauty is born:
A premiere which made dreams come true: A modern amphitheater situated submontane at the riverside under a illuminated cathedral as venue of an oustanding event. A state-of-the-art stage with a coulisse of diamonds and a breath-taking colorful animation. A stage direction which gave boredom no chance at all. Music stars of international calibre who love to entertain: Sophie Ellis Bextor and No Mercy. What do you need more to satisfy or be satisfied?
Yes, 36 global beauties from all over the world to enchant the audience in Plock and at their TV sets in Poland and abroad. Charming announcers and a zero defect performance of the contestants perfected a memorable experience which enthused the guests and delighted the stakeholders of World Beauty Association as well.
Aside their dream of a successful launch of MISS SUPRANATIONAL, a secound came true. Miss Supranational Ukraine refused to believe it - the final verdict. Joy, overwhelming traits and disbelieve in Oksana Moria's face alternated. But no doubt.
The 20-years old architecture student from Dniepropietrovsk has been elected as Miss Supranational 2009. The part-time model presented herself in natural easiness and as a smooth dancer - and convinced the majority of the jury.
Her personal victory is awarded with USD 25,000 in cash. Jewelry of USD 8,000 in kind and lots of pleasant experiences still to make in her year. All the best to you, Oksana!

About Veronica Rayne
Veronica Rayne is a busty brunette pornstar who originally comes from Newburyport, Massachusetts. She was a nightclub manager in Boston and had a security worker named Jack Vegas who she dated and eventually married in 2000. While dancing in Boston she chanced to meet pornstar Ron Jeremy and her adult career started sometime afterwards. One of her first hardcore films is called "Big Butt Smashdown 5" which was produced by Evasive Angles. It's an interracial scene and she has some nice oral and vaginal sex action before taking a good facial cumshot at the end.
One of her first anal sex scenes came early in her career too and was in the film "Hot Bods And Tail Pipe 30" from Lethal Hardcore which was directed by Stoney Curtis. She has a threesome sex scene with Lee Stone and Naomi which begins with the girls in bikinis teasing him until he's hard. The girls then suck on his cock one after the other and then together before he fucks Veronica. After fucking Naomi too he returns to Ms. Rayne and penetrates her tight asshole and they fuck anally in a few positions. He ejaculates onto the girl's faces to bring the hot hardcore scene to an end.
Veronica appeared in the 2007 blockbuster film called "Upload" which was produced by Sex Z Pictures. She has a part in a very large orgy scene near the end of the movie and along with her costars was nominated for an AVN award. The category was Best Group Sex Scene but the film itself was also nominated for more than a dozen awards. Best Feature Movie of the Year, Best Screenplay and many others as well. While she doesn't play a lead role in the movie it's still an important milestone since these are her first award nominations.
In 2008, she and her husband opened Oxygen, a "porn-friendly" restaurant and lounge in Tarzana, California. It's been a lifelong dream of hers to open her own restaurant and in the press release announcing the opening she describes the menu as a mix of east and west coast styles. Also in 2008 she became part of the Fox Reality Channel TV show called "My Bare Lady 2: Open For Business." The show was about four female pornstars trying their hand at various challenges related to business. She retired from adult in January 2010.

Auditing a Class
A student may audit a class for no grade and no credit. Acceptable performance, attitude and attendance as determined by the instructor in charge are expected. Regular fees and enrollment procedures are required. A grade of "NC" (no credit) will be reported on your transcript. This grade has no impact on GPA or hours earned.
Courses taken as an audit must be so designated prior to the final date for changing class schedules as announced in the official calendar (normally within 7 days from the start of the course). Audited classes do not fulfill requirements for load consideration, nor do they count as part of a student's enrollment status for receiving federal financial aid or V.A. educational benefits.
Attention instructors: Don't forget to account for students auditing your courses when reporting grades. A grade of "NC" (no credit) must be entered for these students.

Prudential Financial Inc Stock Downgraded (PRU)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $5,713.00 million or 1.16% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL INC's average is still marginally south of the industry average growth rate of 10.86%.
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 21.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 12.1%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Insurance industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 13.80%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -4.70% is significantly below that of the industry average.

"[A]ll poetry is political," says celebrated American poet-against-the-war M.S. Merwin. To prove it, at noon on Wednesday, March 5, he and a couple of other comrades-in-ink will descend upon Capitol Hill to present to a few anti-war politicians 15,000 anti-war poems allegedly penned by some 12,000 anti-war poets. Gadzooks! The Muses are wantonly breeding! Merwin flew all the way from his digs in Maui to deliver these weapons of mass distraction as part of an "International Day of Poetry Against the War." Or maybe he heard the rumors about terrorist threats against Pearl Harbor.
Merwin has mixed feelings about the extravaganza. "I hate politics," he says. "They're boring and aggravating." Anyway, "most political poetry doesn't turn out to be poetry in the long run." The politics of Merwin's poet mob are certainly boring and aggravatingonly to be exceeded in this (as he anticipates) by their poetry. Think "Hell no, we won't go!" 15,000 times, without the rhythms or the rhymes, and you get the general effect.
For more serious politicsand poetryyou might take a look at a new edition of Herman Melville's first book of poetry, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War: Civil War Poems, edited by Richard H. Cox and Paul M. Dowling, reviewed by Catherine Zuckert in the latest Claremont Review of Books.

Known as a Soak as opposed to a Sprout because they are done before their root appears, which is good because you won't be able not to eat them!
Seed to Sprout in 1-2 Days Nutritional info:
Crop Note 2005 and 2006: Almond harvests in California have been off between 50 and 67% for 2 seasons! The lack of supply has driven up prices horribly Though word is that the 2007 crop looks much better, |
More Almond InfoPrint Sprouting Instructions
Sprout School & Shop Sprouting Seed Info Center
Yields approximately 1 Cup (1/2 lb.) of Sprouts
Prep 2/3 Cup of seed* then transfer (if necessary) into a bowl or into your Sprouter.
Add 2-3 times as much cool (60-70 degree) water.
Mix seeds up to assure even water contact for all.
Allow seeds to Soak for 4-12 hours.
Empty the seeds into your sprouter if necessary.
Drain off the soak water.
Rinse thoroughly with cool (60-70°) water
and Drain thoroughly.
Set anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between Rinses.
Rinse and Drain again in 8-12 hours.
And, perhaps one more...
Rinse and Drain in 8-12 hours.
Stop here unless you are doing a science experiment or growing an almond tree seedling.
Note: Almond sprouts are not intended to germinate fully, their germ is meant to bulge but not put out a root. That is why they are called Soaks.
Also: You can skip that last Rinse and Drain without altering your crop at all!
As always, we suggest that you taste your crop at EVERY RINSE - including the very first - just after the Soak period. The soaked seeds are already alive and are now super-nutritious - and - they now have no enzyme inhibitors (a very good thing indeed) so they'll digest themselves and nourish you.
Your sprouts are done 8-12 hours after your final rinse. Be sure to Drain them as thoroughly as possible after that final rinse.
The goal during the final 8-12 hours is to minimize the surface moisture of your sprouts - they will store best in your refrigerator if they are dry to the touch.
Transfer your sprout crop to a plastic bag or the sealed container of your choice - glass is good too - and put them in your refrigerator - if you can keep from eating them all first.
* If using Single Harvest Pack use the whole bag.
Remember that the yield will be approximately 1.5:1, so in theory you can start with as much as 2/3 as much dry seed as your Sprouter has capacity.
Almond Sprouts are often called "soaks" because they swell rather than sprout, producing only a tiny bulge at their germ instead of a root (sprout). Absolute heaven to munch, though rather expensive. Almonds are THE most addictive of all sprouts - er, Soaks, so enjoy with caution.
Note: Almonds are best stored in a cool location - we keep ours in a freezer, but a refrigerator works well too. If you plan on storing Almonds for more than 6 months you should consider one of these cool locations. If you leave them at 70° they will likely last for a year or 2, but they may not.

We only use the phone for emergencies.
Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my (then 4 year old) daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again, and that's just wrong don't you think?!
The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-)
We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help.
We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, Mom n' Pop Sprout. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.
We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.
We appreciate your patronage more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.
Thanks again for your support and your many kind words.

More AboutOverviewTom Clancy's All-Star lineup is back. Jack Ryan, his son, Jack Jr., John Clark Ding Chavez and the rest of the Campus team are facing their greatest challenge ever.
Jack Ryan, Sr. has made a momentous choice. He's running for President of the United States again and thus giving up a peaceful retirement to help his country in its darkest hour. But he doesn't anticipate the treachery of his opponent, who uses trumped up charges to attack one of Ryan's closest comrades, John Clark.
Now, Clark is in a race against time and must travel the world, staying one step ahead of his adversaries, including a shadowy organization tasked to bring him in, all while trying to find who is behind this.
Meanwhile, Jack Ryan, Jr., Ding Chavez, Dominick Caruso and other members of the Campus-the top secret off-the-books intelligence agency founded by Jack Ryan during his first term in the White House-deal with a question of their own: Why is a Pakistani military officer meeting with Dagestani terrorists? The answer will ultimately lead to a desperate struggle, with nothing short of the fate of the world at stake.

The return of the watch, or how Casio ended up back on my wrist
Here's a retro tale for you: I wear a watch again. To be more specific, I wear a Casio digital watch, the A158W. Sporting an aluminum wristband, beeping buttons that can't be deactivated, a chronometer, and a cheesy green microlight--no fancy backlighting for you--it's a carbon copy of '80s wrist fashion. I got it at Duane Reade on my street corner for $20.
For a while, I tried to go without a watch. It's been commonly written lately that watches are passe, having been replaced entirely by cell phones. After my last watch's wristband broke, … Read more

Future of Justice League Film Depends on Success of Man of Steel
Most fans of the DC Comics character have known for some time that the progression of the Justice League film was likely dependent on Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel. A bit of a no-brainer when you really break it down. Batman has been the only franchise that has been an almost guaranteed success. The attempt at a Green Lantern film proved to be unsuccessful, to say the least, so it shouldn't be a total shock to hear that Warner Brothers is waiting to see how Man of Steel performs at the box office this summer before moving forward with the planned Justice League film.
In a report at Variety discussing the fight for power at the top of the studio, it is stated quite clearly what we've all been suspecting for some now now:
Warner's top brass has indicated that they are awaiting the results of "Man of Steel," which opens June 14, before moving further ahead.
The key words here, at least to me, are "before moving ahead." Don't expect any casting or interviewing from now until we see the final numbers come the weekend of June 14th. To say that Man of Steel will flop at the box office is a bit of a stretch. The film will make money, but it's more a question of how much money will it bring in and will it be enough to make the execs at Warner Brothers happy enough to move forward with the Justice League film.
This begs the question of whether or not the summer 2015 release date the studio has set could actually be met now that they are waiting. I wouldn't say it was impossible, but a film and potential story the film film will likely entail may need more time that a year or so. But hey, look what Matthew Vaughn an d crew did with X-Men: First Class and the "rushed" time schedule he was given.
Man of Steel flies into theaters on June 14th with Henry Cavill playing Superman and Amy Adams playing Lois Lane. Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe and Diane Lane also star.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
A - Bright pale orange in color. This beer appears from the outset to have a relatively light body and lingering head.
S - The scent of this beer is wonderful blend of hops in the forefront with wheat and citrus behind. Couldn't ask for a better or cleaner smell to go with the summer heat.
T - As with the smell, the flavor is also hoppy. Hoppier than many other pale wheats I have tried in the past. But this hop profile is still in balance with the wheat malt that forms the backbone of this brew. Everything is followed up with a clean finish.
M - Light and crisp, just as I hoped for this kind of brew.
O - An easy, fresh drink that would be great for the summertime.

Pours a golden yellow with a nice thick white head.
Smells of citrusy fruits and sweet malt. Some bready yeast and malts.
Citrus fruits take the forefront of this beer. A little more hoppy than I expected. Very nice and refreshing.
Mouthfeel is creamy. Perfectly carbonated.
Overall this is a good local beer. I prefer a darker beer but on hot days this is very refreshing.

Really good; combined the best of both pale ales and wheats to make a great anytime beer.
Appearance: hazy, golden, light head.
Smell: hop aroma, balanced by sweetness.
Mouthfeel: crisp, rather carbonated.
Overall: very good-- I'm not sure if they consider this one of their standard beers, but it's really good, and much better than their other basic beers that I'd imagine many people would order, particularly their IPA.

Robert Hourihan's Disappearance Still Unanswered
Posted: 2:57 PM Nov 22, 2012
Hourihan 1122
It has been a year and a half since Robert Lee Hourihan disappeared, and his wife says dealing with his absence hasn't gotten any easier.
"It's unbearable at times," says Tara Hourihan, Robert's wife. "I have to pray daily for strength and patience because it can get extremely overwhelming for me and my daughter."
Melody, Hourihan's seven year old daughter has taken it the hardest.
"She went from having a father that was always there, loving her and providing for her, playing with her to just one day he disappears. He vanishes."
Hourihan left home for work on April 8th of 2011, that's the last time his wife and daughter ever saw him. One month later his car was found in a Target parking lot in Maryland. Police suspect foul play, and the family is asking for some answers.
"Anybody that knows anything please end our suffering because it's excruciating."
But as the Hourihans spend another holiday without Robert, they say they have lots to be thankful for.
"I'm thankful for the years I had with Rob, because they were wonderful and I'll always have that in my heart. And of course my family and friends, because I've got great ones."
The Hourihans continue their search for answers while finding reason to be thankful.

So You Thought That Grand Speech Is Going To Make You A Leader?
Contrary to popular belief verbal communications are not the be all and end all in the world of interactions. People are saying more through some other means, some other channel, something more than words can possibly communicate. There is something definitely going on.
It is all happening via body language. On the communication highway there are several road signs! People are constantly evaluating each other, mostly subconsciously, and forming impressions and opinions that determine their conscious decisions. Those who master these ŌĆśsignsŌĆÖ and ŌĆśsignalsŌĆÖ are on their way to becoming great leaders. Here are a few things that leaders have understood:
- People subconsciously classify nonverbal signals into two broad categoriesŌĆöthose of authority and those of warmth and compassion. Leaders are those who have mastered the art of knowing and employing the right signals at the right time. They have learnt to effectively use eye contact, minute gestures, expressions, postures, etc., to influence, sway interpretations and decisions of others. This is what eventually determines their behavior.
- It takes just seven seconds for someone to come to a decision about youŌĆöif you are ŌĆ£likeableŌĆØ, ŌĆ£powerfulŌĆØ, or submissive. Research shows that people make approximately eleven decisions about others, all in those initial seconds of meeting the new person.
- People rely too often, and mistakenly, on verbal communications, not knowing that it is the non-verbal exchange that mostly determines what we think of each other. Two people could exchange up to 800 nonverbal signals over a half-hour period. This explains how a well-planned presentation, strategy, interaction could fail because we focus too much on how we are going to say things and present our argument, etc., yet find that it did not work as we intended it to!
- ┬ĀOften you feel something is amiss when someone you are talking to says one thing but uses a gesture or expression that does not ŌĆśsyncŌĆÖ in with the words. Our brains are wired to detect these miniscule anomalies in nonverbal signals. This shows up on EEGs (electroencephalograms) as brain waves called ŌĆ£event related potentials.ŌĆØ This gets us thinkingŌĆöshould we be more aware to our nonverbal communication than we have been so far? Yes, we must!

Over at RedState, a post entitled "They All Suck" eviscerates the current crop of GOP presidential wannabes. Their comments on Senator Brownback's quest to be President:
[Brownback] has a better chance of getting hit by a meteor while being consumed by a blue whale being struck by lightening.
They all suck. (Well, okay, Brownback doesn't suck at all, but I perceive no viability for his candidacy.)
Brownback thus far has not convinced, nor even made inroads in convincing, most GOP primary voters that he has a chance of winning a general election. He is viewed as utterly unelectable due to his views on abortion, gay rights, and religion in government. I sense a sort of pity for Brownback in the conservative blogs. A feeling that he represents all that they do (with the glaring omission of the immigration issue) and because of that has no chance to succeed with the American public at large.
There is one way, and one way only, that Brownback can overcome this electability argument. Cold. Hard. Cash. If he turns in a stellar fundraising report on January 31st he can prove that he is a serious candidate that could be competitive. If he raises a piddly sum, then it will be clear that the GOP donor class does not think he has a chance and thus does not think he is worth the investment.

Friends on Friday marked the memory of a woman gunned down inside her parents' Jenks home.
Mary Escue was murdered in what police call a robbery gone bad. Jenks Police say Josh Mooney, 14, broke into an empty home Monday night and shot Mary Escue in the head with a gun he found in the house.

"She was a girl that like to have a good time," Donna Reeder said. "She would approve of this tonight."
Escue graduated from Jenks High School in 1983. Her classmates said its hard losing their friend, but it helps to grieve together.
"She had the most awesome laugh," Dana Eddy said.
Escue was known as one of the pretty girls in high school. Her friends described her as full of life and said she loved to have fun.
"Even though she's up in the sky, she's still our guardian angel," John Ensing said.
Jenks Police have now linked the young suspect to another Jenks break-in. Detectives said this may have been a pattern for Mooney. They believe he broke into his next door neighbor's house a day or two before the shooting and stole a shotgun there. Officers say Mooney passed that shotgun onto a friend, who turned it into police.
Mooney is being held for first-degree murder.
