The Utah Jazz and the Idaho Stampede held a press conference today to announce their new single affiliation partnership. Also hear from Dennis Lindsey and the changes with the Utah Jazz.
What exactly are the Jazz thinking?
"The Toronto Raptors are preparing to target Lindsey, who just finished his fourth season as the Spurs' assistant GM, as a candidates in their front-office hunt."
wolves fans: kahned
Various published and unpublished sources, including Glen Taylor himself, set the expectation that the Wolves would name a new GM this week. Since no announcement's been made yet, all we have to...
Lance Blanks, one of the quiet rocks on Danny Ferry's front-office staff in Cleveland, has been frequently mentioned as a candidate for the GM opening in Minnesota. But Blanks, contrary to reports, has not been interviewed by the Wolves, who have still not requested permission from the Cavs to bring him in for a chat. The Wolves' only known external candidate to take over their basketball operations is Spurs assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey, although plugged-in sources say Wolves owner Glen Taylor has also spoken to former Indiana Pacers executive David Kahn. Landing Lindsey would be an undeniable coup for the Wolves. With more proven talent on its roster and residence in the Eastern Conference to offset its muddled ownership situation, Atlanta couldn't do so during last season's playoffs when it sought to convince Lindsey to become the latest alumnus from San Antonio's front-office factory -- along with Ferry, Blanks, Portland's Kevin Pritchard and Oklahoma City's Sam Presti -- to leave the staff of Spurs president R.C. Buford. Kahn's most recent basketball experience took place in the D-League, but he is a longtime favorite of NBA commissioner David Stern, which is presumably how he hooked up with Taylor. This is Taylor's first season as the chairman of the league's Board of Governors, who meet twice annually with Stern, but his sphere of contacts outside the Wolves' organization is said to be very limited. The Wolves' core young players (primarily Al Jefferson and Kevin Love) want Kevin McHale to stay on as coach, but the theory I'm hearing more and more is that Taylor wants to make an outside hire, whose inevitable desire to hire his own coach -- along with McHale's likely reluctance to work for someone he doesn't know well -- would lead to a coaching change that spares Taylor from having to outright dismiss McHale. Which is something Taylor has resisted for years and clearly doesn't want to do.Marc Stein: The latest chatter from around the NBA - ESPN
The mainstream outlets are all abuzz about candidates for the Timberwolves' GM position. I know that there are a few FanShots and FanPosts that you've all posted over the weekend, but I thought a...
The Spurs' ability to maintain one of the most successful franchises in North America professional sports for more than a decade continues to make its management team vulnerable to offers from other NBA organizations. For the second spring in as many years, assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey has shown up on a short list of candidates to run a basketball operations staff for another NBA team. Last spring, it was the Atlanta Hawks.From MySanAntonio.com. Hoopus featured Lindsey in an Executive Search feature back in December. You can read that post here.
After a demoralizing loss like last night, there's no time like the present to continue the search for new leadership for this franchise. In the second of the executive search series, let's take...

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Ride an open-air All Terrain Vehicle through the island's back roads to a secluded ecological reserve for a snorkeling adventure.
Depart from the pier for a quick trip to your vehicle, a Polaris RZR 800, a 4-seat "dune buggy" that makes the ride around Cozumel as adventurous as it is fun. Over the next hour or so, you'll drive down jungle roads and sand paths, taking in the spectacular natural beauty of the island. Chances are, you may see saltwater crocodiles lazing in the sun or lingering in the lagoon's still waters. Iguanas, flamingos and migratory birds are also commonly observed.
Upon reaching Punta Sur Park on the southernmost tip of Cozumel, you'll stop for photos at Celarain Lighthouse, which looms over the rocky shoreline. The views from the top of this whitewashed beacon are inspiring, as is its marine navigation museum. Nearby are the ruins of El Caracol, which is believed to be a lighthouse built by the Mayas 700 years ago.
Still, it's the beaches at Punta Sur Park that leave the most lasting impression. During the approximately 1 hour you'll spend along the shores of this 2,500-acre ecological reserve, you can snorkel, swim or simply relax. The serenity and sheer magnificence of the natural landscape are so mesmerizing that time seems to slow to a near standstill, the only interruption being the sound of the waves gently lapping the coastline. Following this tranquil respite at the beach, you'll retrace your path back to the pier.
Please note: Walking on this tour is mainly at the guests' discretion during the stops; however, there are natural, uneven and sandy surfaces to negotiate. The vehicle will at time travel over bumpy unpaved roads and paths. This tour is not available to wheelchair guests; pregnant women; those with back, neck, knee or shoulder injuries; heart conditions or mobility issues. Guests with diabetes, asthma or heart conditions must abstain from snorkeling. Light weight clothing; swimwear; a change of clothes; towel; sun cap; sunglasses; sunscreen; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Helmets and goggles will be provided and are mandatory. The RZR 800s are open air 4-seaters and will be shared with other guests. There is a maximum weight allowance for each vehicle of 700 lbs. Participants who are driving must be at least 16 years of age and present a valid drivers' license. The minimum age to participate in the tour is 10 years of age and the maximum age limit is 65. All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult parent or guardian. Those taking part in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility. The operator does require that participants sign a waiver before being allowed to take part in the tour. It is suggested guests bring cash if they wish to purchase souvenirs.

Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time.

About a dozen teachers gathered on the beach in Gulfport Wednesday
morning at sunrise to offer prayers and support to the victims and
survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown,
Despite the early morning cold, the teachers were
filled with warm thoughts for those impacted by one of the worst school
shootings in the nation's history. Twenty children and six adults lost
their lives.
Phyllis Skinner, who helped organize the vigil,
said, "I was just driving along and thought about the agony that these
families are going through, and as a teacher what it would be like to go
back into the classroom to deal with your own fears, to be there for
our children. And that's where the idea came from. Teachers supporting
There was a stark reminder of the terrible loss,
as names of the victims were read. The need for this vigil was apparent,
as was the need for healing, according to Ron Skinner.
children and these teachers are going to need our support for the long
term. This is not something that's going away in their hearts and their
minds and in their psyche overnight," Skinner said. "So it's important
for them to know that there are those of us who are praying for them and
thinking about them and caring about them."
The principal of
one of the schools in the St. Martin district was there at the
candlelight vigil. Dr. Christopher William felt compelled to attend, and
felt a special connection to the principal who lost her life at Sandy
Hook Elementary.
"I just can't imagine experiencing something
like that and so, definitely, I feel connected to that principal. She
gave her life, she's considered a hero and I'm honored to be in this
profession," William said.
"We are thinking of them and we're
not going to stop thinking of them, and we're not going to stop praying
for them because this is a journey for them in the days ahead.
and students from Sandy Hook Elementary School go back to class
Thursday for the first time since the shooting occurred.

I enjoyed the quesadilla - but it wasn't clear from the menu whether it was to share or for one - I had no idea how big it would be! As it was it made a fine lunch - and the food was very fresh inside it.
on Dec 16, 2008 at 4:22 pm
uWink is nothing more than a novelty. The table screens completely dominate the dining experience to the point that you need to move to the side just to eat comfortably. The food is good but not outstanding. The games mostly left me shaking my head. For example, my friend and I wanted to play a game against each other but were annoyed to find that most of the games do not allow you to compete directly against your table mate. And very few of the games are actually very challenging. It all seems just a little half hearted.
Two things that would at least make the experience tolerable would be the ability to surf the Internet and invite other tables to chat. All in all, a mediocre experience.

every time I walk by there, the place is empty. Guess the novelty is wearing off already.
Im looking forward to whatever takes its place--hopefully good food!

What's the next challenge for a GM who brought a championship to a famously cursed franchise? Doing it again somewhere else, apparently. Theo Epstein, who for now is the GM of the Boston Red Sox, is apparently close to joining the Chicago Cubs as their general manager. From Steve Buckley of the Boston Herald:
Two baseball sources have confirmed that Theo Epstein is on the cusp of leaving his job as general manager of the Red Sox to accept a position with the Chicago Cubs that is believed to include powers greater than he has in Boston, with an announcement expected to be made "within the next 24 to 48 hours."
Bombshell. The 37-year-old Epstein became GM of the Red Sox after the 2002 season, and in 2004 the team he built won the team's first championship since 1918. After the 2005 season, Epstein resigned, but before the 2006 season started, he rejoined the organization as GM and Executive Vice President.
He will reportedly replace Jim Hendry, who was hired by the Cubs just months before Epstein began his GM duties with the Red Sox in 2002.
According to Buckley, one of the holdups is that the Red Sox are expecting a hefty return from the Cubs for giving up their general manager. Carlos Zambrano is a hefty return if you think about it, but I wouldn't want to speculate. There's no word on whether the return the Red Sox are expecting is supposed to be a player, prospect, or money.

He became so concerned about the fate of the abused and rescued animals, and the outlook for others, however, that he returned during spring break 2012 to continue that work, and also to work with the foundation's media and legal campaign to stop the corruption, profiteering and the black market poaching of elephants. Young elephants are worth up to $40,000 each when sold to the tourist industry.
What was it about elephants that inspired you to work with WFFT and why did you decide to return to Thailand?
I have always liked animals and always had a desire to work or volunteer for an organization that is concerned with animal welfare. When I found WFFT, its ideologies seemed to be a very good fit for my views and I decided to volunteer. Plus, getting to work directly with these mammoth animals is pretty awe-inspiring.
I decided to return to WFFT, not only because the experience was very enjoyable and rewarding, but also due to a series of horrible events that were taking place at WFFT. In early January, five elephants were poached in nearby Petchabrui forest; four were killed and one baby was removed from the wild, presumably to be used to entertain tourists. It was later found that five Department of National Park (DNP) officials had a part in the poaching. WFFT has been very outspoken about the illegal wildlife trade since its inception. However, they were particularly outspoken after finding the level of corruption involved in this poaching. About five weeks after the foundation made public remarks condemning what DNP officials had done, DNP came and illegally confiscated 103 animals from WFFT. Having a connection with WFFT, I felt I had to do something, so I returned over spring break to help with media outreach and aid in the foundation's legal campaign to return the animals.
How were the animals mistreated?
Currently in Thailand, there is little regard for animal welfare. Many endangered species are still poached for their skin, ivory, sex organs, bile, etc., or are taken from the wild at a very young age to be used in the tourist industry. Elephants, in particular, are often taken from the wild as babies, put through an atrocious process called phajaan. Lead by mahouts (elephant handlers), calves are first taken from their mothers, locked in a crush pen which prevents all movement, and beaten into submission using bull hooks, which are essentially sticks with sharp hooks on the end that leave deep gashes in the elephants' skin. Over the next seven days, the calf is deprived of all food and water, while being savagely beaten by the mahouts. After this process is complete, the elephants are considered to be "broken" and are then trained for specific duties. These elephants then live their lives in fear of the mahouts and are regularly beaten when they disobey orders. WFFT often rescues older elephants, which are not as useful in the tourist industry, and thus do not receive adequate food, shelter, exercise or medical attention in order to keep them healthy and happy.
How do you think you can help?
As a typical volunteer, I feel I do not have a specifically valuable skill set, but when I came back the second time, I felt my communication, computer and photography skills were very useful in our media and legal campaigns to have the animals safely returned.
What is the most gratifying part of what you've been doing?
Knowing that all of the animals at the sanctuary would be deceased if not for WFFT rescuing them and volunteers caring for them on a daily basis.
Do you intend to go back again?
Yes, I have already booked my flight to return in May.
Has this experience informed your future plans?
I have always had a passion for animals, but never an interest in studying them. Spending time at WFFT has made me realize that I want to work for an NGO after I finish my education, though I think I will find a position that will make direct use of my economic degrees.
How long have you been a UMaine student?
Five years.
What was your undergraduate degree in? When do you anticipate receiving your master's degree?
My UMaine undergraduate degree was in financial economics in 2006. I started my graduate degree in 2011 and expect to finish in the spring of 2013.
What led you to choose UMaine?
UMaine offers very good value for a great education for a Maine resident. This is the main reason I went to UMaine as an undergraduate. When applying for my master's program, I remembered how great the professors are in the School of Economics, the great research that we produce, the myriad of research opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students, and the financial aid package was very enticing.
What, if any, research initiatives were you involved in while at UMaine?
This past summer, I helped with research for an Environmental Economics Encyclopedia article. I am currently coauthoring a paper with (economics professor) Gary Hunt and James Bryant (Advanced Manufacturing Center project manager) on alternative heating systems for Maine. This summer, I will begin an analysis of the Maine dairy industry.
Do you have any favorite professors or classes?
My favorite professor, James Leiby, also taught my favorite class, mathematical economics. The class size was very small — only four students — and was very interactive. Professor Leiby is a great professor who connects with his students, which greatly improves his ability to explain the material.
Were there any classes that almost did you in?
I started taking ECO 514, Microeconomic Theory as an undergraduate. I was working and going to school full time, and realized halfway through the semester that I would not do as well as I would like, so I dropped the class. Once I started my master's degree I took the class again, and found with adequate time to study, the course was much easier.
Most memorable moment at UMaine?
A presentation I gave on portfolio allocation for SPIFFY when I was the VP of portfolio strategy.
Favorite place on campus?
The economics computer lab in Winslow.
What are your plans after graduation?
After finishing my M.A. I plan to continue my academic studies and pursue my Ph.D. in economics, concentrating in international developmental economics. I would then like to find a position as an economist at an NGO, working in the field.
Advice to other students?
Study abroad, at least once. Many people are reluctant to spend a semester or a year in a foreign country, away from home, where you do not speak the native language, and do not know anyone, but this is what makes studying abroad so great. Everyday is a new adventure; you will meet tons of new people, become a stronger, more independent person, learn to appreciate and respect a new culture, and continue your education. You'll probably also fall in love with your new host nation.

Help - Rayleigh Town Council appeal for help to find lost town pendant
Updated 5:27pm Thursday 19th June 2014 in Southend
AN APPEAL has been issued by Rayleigh Town Council to help find the Town's Crest pendant.
The pendant forms part of the Chairman's Chain of Office and was last seen at an official function at Sweyne Park School on Friday, June 13.
Town Chairman Eddie Dray came to put the chain on for another engagement on Tuesday, June 17, but found the pendant to be missing.
It is believed the pendant, four inches in length, made of metal-backed enamel with the town's crest on the front, was lost in transit after last Friday's event.
Sweyne Park School have been alerted to the situation and are carrying out a search but as yet have not found anything.
The pendant is insured and will be replaced if needed, but it is of historical importance to the town and has been an integral part of the Chain of Office since the days of the Rayleigh Urban District Council and was handed over to the town authority in 1996.
Mr Dray said: "I was devastated when I discovered the loss and appeal to anyone who may come across it to hand it back to the Town Council".
Anyone with information should contact the Town Clerk on 01268 741880 or email email@example.com

Just thought that as a resident of Rayleigh there might be some interest for you here rather than continually banging on about,for reasons known only to yourself, things in a town where you have no vote. Or maybe your sudden switch of allegiance to the Mayor of Basildon is for reasons as transparent as they appear rather than just to annoy your mortal enemies councillor cockroach and chucky from Pitsea.....

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it had no reason to doubt the SEC's claim that the settlement was in the public interest, and in any event both courts must give deference to the SEC's judgment on wholly discretionary matters of policy.
The court also referenced the difficulties, frequently mentioned by the SEC, of obtaining convictions of a counterparty.
"The (district) court appeared to assume that the SEC had a readily available option to obtain a judgment that established Citigroup's liability, either by trial or settlement, but chose for no good reason to settle for less," the ruling stated.
Citi ended up joining with the SEC in filing the stay motion. "Citigroup joins with the SEC in all of its arguments," the ruling notes.
In November, Judge Rakoff rejected the SEC's settlement, saying it was "neither reasonable, nor fair, nor adequate, nor in the public interest." He also questioned the merit of the SEC's "neither confirm nor deny" policy.
The appeals court's ruling will likely make it difficult if not impossible for lower courts to override future settlements brought by the SEC.
"We are pleased that the appeals court found 'no reason to doubt' the SEC's view that the settlement ordering Citigroup to return $285 million to harmed investors and adopt business reforms is in the public interest," SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami said in a statement.

HGTV Message Boards
Favorite Shows
Professional Grade, 6:30am
I like the Professional Grade show. It is aired on Tuesdays at 6:30am. These are new shows with Sean Smith as the host.
The homeowner remodels or renovates one room in the home. Professional contractors look at the project before it is started and take notes. Then the owners do the work with advise from Sean if they need it. When they are finished, the contractors come back and appraise the work and say what they think the project cost. If the cost is more than the homeowners spent, they get the difference in cash. The homeowners can hire workmen if they are needed and their fee goes into the owners expenses.
I liked this show when it was aired a few years ago and it is still one of my favorites. Thank goodness I have my DVR programmed to tape it or I would miss it. I really do not understand the program schedule at HGTV.
Though I am quite sure the figures given at the end of the show are phoney, I like the show too. But I do not DVR anything so I miss most of the shows. Wish they would schedule something like this in the evening. Rarely watch hgtv anymore. Sometimes,when there is nothing else on I will turn it on. So sad. Will be glad when the executives grow up.
Yes..it is sad to say, but we have learned to question anything we hear from HGTV...from the smallest thing to the largest. I don't watch HGTV very often any more. I check the TV Guide on my TV and if it's the same old thing...I don't bother with it.
??? Sean only hosted the first season or so, IIRC. These episodes are reruns, originally aired in 2010. They may have been filmed as early as 2009.
Given the age of the episodes, the figures may sound a little low. Plus, they filmed them in CO instead of LA.
Sean did a great job in the 1st and half of the 2nd seasons, I wonder did he leave or HGTV let him go.
Matt Blashaw did seasons 2 and 3, but now he's doing DYI's Yard Crashers now.
Fellow DIYer Chris Grundy will be doing the 4th season that will air later this year, he tweeted it a few weeks back.
The 4th season's already airing on the DIY network, a channel not included in our cable package. They have a show page and message board on DIY's website.

Has anyone used these tools? I just saw them and they look pretty sweet. I've been using a set of Trango Mantis tools for a couple of years and they're nice but I'd like to move to some leashless tools and these look good and are rather inexpensive.
I've had my eye on these since Cold Thistle had a post about them last December. Have you actually seen them in the flesh and been able to feel their balance, etc? You can by them right from Trango cheeper than anywhere else.
I haven't seen them in person, but stumbled upon them on Trango's website. I wonder if bentgate or neptune mountaineering might have some. They look pretty good and they're so inexpensive compared to others. I've loved my mantises, though I've always wished I'd sprung for the leashless handles when they were available.
Funny to see this today. I have been trying to get a pair of these for the last 18 months or so. And had finally just given up. From my first impress and being a HUGE Petzl Nomic and Ergo fan I was impressed playing with the Raptor at the OR winter show. My thought back in Jan of 2011? "Trango's new ice tool.....which I seriously think will be pretty good in comparison to the "big boys"! I should have a pair or two to play with in Bozeman early Dec. A review will follow on CT once I get a chance to play with them outside. For the asking price of $350 for the pair I can tell you I would have bought a set a long time ago if I could have found them.
Dane, anything new to report about the Trango Raptor ice tools? Anyone else out there tried them? How do they compare to Nomics, etc.?
Hi John, I haven't seen mine yet. They should be here next week. Hopefully I'll get out on them soon after they arrive and report back on the blog.
I've got some of the Madame Hook leashless handles I could probably part with if you're interested.
My pair are now in transit. I'll have them in hand by the end of the week and know more shortly. Here is what I do know. T rated shaft and picks. Head is investment cast stainless (nice!) and shaft is drawn 7075 T6 alloy. Tools and spare picks ($37.00 retail on the picks) are in stock and shipping @ Trango. I'd asked on the pull strength for the spike. I was hopeing for something over 1500#. "Green Fusion's spike will go to around 1500lbs with the maximum amount of spacers allowed(3) before the bolt breaks." Raptor is 2200#+. Good enough! Love the color on this one!
Thanks for the update, Dane. I hope they climb as well as they look and spec out! I look forward to your post here and on the CT blog!
I have a pair of Raptors in my shop in Telluride. They are pretty sweet. Weight feels about the same as a Nomic in the hand when compared side by side, although the Raptor's is balanced more toward the head than the Nomic. Shaft configuration is very similar to the Nomic as well. The shaft diameter is much thinner than a Nomic. The pick is really nice. I haven't climbed on them (it would be hard to sell them to a customer after all!) but they feel nice in the hand. My general impression of them is that they are not quite as refined as other more premium tools on the market, but pretty damn close. Call it 90% of a Nomic with a decent spike and at almost half the price. That is a steal any way you look at it. I think they are going to sell really well and make a lot of people happy!
Just updated the previous info from a Trango email. Pull strength on the spike is 2200# +. Good enough :)

Can anyone give an update on how these axes perform on ice and mixed? I'm thinking of getting some but they are not available in the UK so I am relying on your feedback?
Hi Dane et al - what is the size of the handle like? I've got 9" hands (nomic "big") would the fit when gloved in the Raptors I wonder? cheers
Big hands is one of the few things the Raptor does poorly. More here on the details from last week. coldthistle.blogspot.com/2013/01/trango-raptor-ice-tool.html
Hi Dane, thanks for the review of the Trango Raptors on the CT blog. Looks like you liked climbing with them. I just got a pair from Trango (with black molded handles), but have yet to climb with them. The information in the CT blog about using them with and without the pick weights was particularly useful. I will respond here once I have had a chance to climb with them. My initial impression from "dry swinging" them is that they feel quite similar in balance to my original first generation Quarks or the Nomics as you mentioned in the blog. To the person who asked about the grip size, I would agree with Dane that the grip is not designed to accommodate large hands.
For a little more comfort with a large hand I think you could open up the bottom of the grip with a dremel's round drum sander. I've done the same to a number of Black Diamond Fusions shafts. Haven't yet on the Raptor. The way the grips of the two tools are made is a little different. Either way easy to get some extra room in the bottom of the grip if required.
I'd been holding out to try these before deciding on them or a pair of Nomics. Sad to hear that the grips are fixed in size, and small. I'll have to try and demo these anyway, and decide if a Dremel could fix the grip for me or not. How would that be done exactly? Just shave off some of the rubber? Or actually get into the metal, then add some tape? Doesn't sound like it would make a big difference either way. Thanks, Dane.
Better to be too small than too big. Easy fix. Most will likely be able to get enough room to be comfortable in the grip for length. I use XL gloves and I can. BD Fusion isn't adjustable here either (where your little finger is) and just as tight and uncomfortable for me. You just need to cut them up on the very bottom of the grip where your little finger sets and get a more rounded/open support area. The Trango grip (BD Fusion as well) is tight on the little finger not in the length. Sorry for the confusion.
I just posted my Raptor review on NEice.com if anyone's interested. I don't have the Nomic and Fusion experience that Dane does; my comments come more from a pure ice tool (first Gen. Quark) baseline. And compared to that sort of tool, the Raptors are quite different, and it's not all positive. link to NEice(and-second)-impressions
Just an opinion, so take it for what it is worth. Coming from the heavier and original Quark, likely with Cascade picks puts Mike's NEI review into perspective. I likely will never use the pick weights on my Raptors. And would have no problem recommending the Raptor as a first tool for a beginner set up like that. No pick weights. A beginner is usually open to new technques not knowing anything else. I would have no problem owning a set of Raptors as my only ice tools. (I generally use a Nomic now) I don't personally modify my picks, Trangos or Petzls. I don't see the need. I would have to open up the grip for my XL size hands how ever. If I could modify the Raptor I would drop the pick angle 2 maybe 3 degrees. And I'd make the stainless head a hammer face without adding any more weight. And I'd change the grip a bit. Same thing could be said of a current green Fusion. Basically a better Nomic...imagine that ;) But I can live with the Raptor as they are. More importantly if I was looking for a first tool...the Raptor would be a no brainier. IMO it is a better tool than the Fusion. The Raptor could easily take a beginner (or an expert) any where they want to climb long into the future.

The Carolina Panthers have been picked by most to deal the Philadelphia Eagles their seventh-straight loss on Monday night. Both teams have failed to live up to expectations, and this game doesn't have nearly the luster it did in the preseason. The Panthers have dropped their last two games and are 2-8 on the year, while the Eagles have dropped all the way to 3-7.
Joel Thorman of SB Nation believes Carolina will escape with a narrow victory on the road in his Week 12 NFL picks. He makes the observation that there may not be a worse Monday night match-up all season.
ESPN's panel of experts gives the edge to Carolina, as eight of the 12 went with the Panthers. Two of Yahoo's three prognosticators went with the Panthers.
CBS Sports makes picks against the spread and straight up. Six of the eight CBS panelists are going with the Panthers to win, but just five think that Carolina will cover the spread.
Interestingly, Ryan Wilson of CBS picks the Panthers to win, but does not pick them to cover the spread. The site lists the Eagles as 2 1/2 point favorites.

ROCK HILL — After months of planning and preparation, the Rock Hill Sams Club opened its doors to the public Thursday morning, following a ceremony emphasizing how excited the local community is to have the new megastore off Dave Lyle Boulevard.
About 100 people gathered outside just before 8 a.m. to hear speeches from store manager Bill House and community leaders, presenting of the colors and the national anthem, sung by two Sams Club employees.
Mayor Doug Echols held up his Sams Club card and asked the audience if everyone else had theirs ready.
This is a really great day for our community and each of us here, he said.
Once the blue ribbon had been cut, shoppers were allowed inside, where cheerleaders from local high schools, mascots and employees chanted S-A-M-S and cheered as the first shoppers rolled their carts in, ready to fill them with everything from large pumpkins to huge boxes of crackers to big-screen televisions.
Down one aisle, Rock Hill mom Maria Arnold and her 7-year-old daughter, Amelia, compared reusable plastic containers before picking one to add to their cart.
Arnolds family has been Sams Club members for years, she said, and they are excited to have an option closer than the Pineville, N.C., store.
They have cheaper stuff than getting it at the grocery store, she said. Her four-person family buys food and sometimes tires at the store.
Amelias favorite thing to buy at Sams Club is bananas. A large bunch of them sat in their cart.
Because theyre good for you, Amelia said. She also said she likes all the free samples.
And there were plenty of samples at Thursdays opening, including several local companies, which were included as a part of Sams Clubs Showcase Events program, which highlights local products.
One such product was Sequel Select Inc., a Rock Hill-based company that specializes in solid wood urns. Several years ago, president Ian Vosper said the company started using leftover wood to make custom hardwood cutting boards, which were sold at Sams Club.
This is an incredible opportunity for us within a small town, Vosper said of having his products available at Sams Club.
Another local product, Mother Shuckers Original Cocktail Sauce, could be found down an aisle from Sequel Select.
Three years ago, John Sparrow, owner of The Oyster Bar seafood restaurant in Columbia, decided to start bottling his mothers cocktail sauce to sell. Both Mary Mother Shucker Sparrow and John Sparrow were at Sams Club Thursday, handing out samples of the tangy, tasty sauce.
We really appreciate it, said Mary Sparrow of being included in the Sams Club opening. Its a door-opener for people like us.
Sams Club has always had a commitment to being involved with local business owners, company spokesman Mark Scott said, especially since many buy products and supplies from Sams Club, which specializes in bulk items.
People like to buy their local stuff, he said.
Community organizations are also important to Sams Club, said store manager Bill House. The stores employees already have completed more than 400 hours of community service at local organizations and have given money to organizations and schools.
We want to be good neighbors in our community, House said.
At the front of the store, Rock Hill residents Rebecca and Dennis Johnson stood in line to get a Sams Club membership, which start at $45 a year. They used to be members, but after they retired, they dropped their membership.
Now that Sams Club is in their own community, they said, theyre excited to join back up.
Itll be nice for Christmas shopping, said Rebecca Johnson, who added they use Sams to buy groceries and toys for their grandchildren.
But even people who arent members have access to some services. For the first three days Sams Club is open, and once a month after that, the store offers free health screenings to members and non-members alike.
Members also can get free hearing testing, which can be a major cost-saver, especially for senior citizens, said Lee Ann Fox, who works in the hearing center. She said its hard to beat the prices and quality of the hearing aids sold at Sams Club.
Sams wants to save their people money, she said.
The first few days of Sams Clubs opening are filled with appearances from local and not-so-local artists and celebrities, like Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen and chef and restaurant owner Jamie Deen.
House said he was excited that everything was finally up and running.
Emotional, the store manager said of his feelings on Thursday. Its all been excellent.

The OTGR team works to strengthen and build closer relations between the VA, tribal governments and other key federal, state, private and non-profit partners in an effort to effectively and respectfully serve Veterans across Indian Country. This work is done in the spirit of government to government consultation and collaboration, respectful of the special relationship that exists between the United States and tribal governments.
Our efforts focus on three important goals: facilitating VA's Tribal Consultation Policy, facilitating increased access to health care and promoting economic sustainability (highlighting opportunities for Veterans to access fiscal, educational, housing and other special programs and benefits through the VA).
We bring key partners to the table to address important issues raised by tribal leaders. Linking decision makers and stake holders to tribal leadership ensures Indian Country's Veterans know who we at VA are, what VA offers Veterans and how to reach VA to ensure access to the full range of services and benefits our Veterans have courageously earned through their service.

Fenton goals
TO THE EDITOR: I am the daughter of the late Donald and Leona (Adams) Crowningshield, and I spent the first four years of my life here in Jay.
My husband, Daniel, and I returned in 1993 with our five children (Daniel, Eric, Jennifer, Kaitlyn and Brandon) to our current home on Sheldrake Road. We have lived and raised our children here over the past 21 years.
I am currently the bookkeeper at KOA campground in Wilmington, a seasonal, part-time position I have held for over eight years. I have also kept the books for my husband's electrical contracting business, Fenton Enterprises.
I have served as an election inspector for several years. During this time, I have been able to match many names with faces, getting to know more and more of my neighbors.
I feel that I am very capable to do what is required as tax collector for the Town of Jay. I have the background, experience and desire to fulfill the role.
I will perform the duties required with kindness, courtesy and integrity. I am very proficient with computers and have a great deal of experience handling large sums of money and reconciling active bank accounts.
A few of my part-time endeavors have put me in constant contact with the public, which I have found to be quite rewarding.
I intend to personally fulfill the duties of the position of tax collector; I have no intention of appointing anyone else to do the job entrusted to me by the voting public.
I would very much appreciate your vote on Nov. 5. My name is at the very bottom of the right-hand side of the ballot: Line H, Column 11.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Over on the K&L Spirits Journal, David Driscoll has spent the last several days discussing the parallel between whiskey and Bordeaux. His opinion, for those of you that haven't been reading it, is that the price increases we're seeing in whiskey are inevitable and irrevocable. Sku at Sku's Recent Eats believes a "Silver Age" of whiskey is coming a few years after the current bubble pops. Reddit is predictably split on the issue.
Time will prove one of these two gents right. I consider both to be friends so I'm certainly not writing this for the purpose of taking sides, but it's too tantalizing of an issue to let slide.
To cut to the chase, I disagree with David. And more importantly I believe we as enthusiasts have the opportunity to make the world we would like to inhabit to a certain extent.
We've seen an interesting pullback from the exuberance recently. While I don't think it signals an end of the bubble, there's a definite market resistance lately. Dalmore's Constellation Collection was rightly mocked among enthusiasts, and the 1957 Bowmore failed to make its lofty goal of about $160,000 at auction. While it's possible in these cases that "the skill and patience that has gone into the production [...] has not ben appreciated by the market", it's also possible there's a reaction to this trend of style over substance, and price dictating quality.
Van Winkle is the topic du jour among bourbon enthusiasts. This is partially natural – it's fall, which is traditionally the limited and expensive release season; and partly because there's no shortage of disgust at the additional hype the New York Post's recent article on Van Winkle bourbons has engendered. Van Winkle happens to be an extremely interesting case study of this phenomenon.
For the five of you who aren't aware of the lore, Pappy Van Winkle is the name that a very limited range of bourbons is marketed under. Historically, Van Winkle was the product of the Stitzel-Weller distillery, which closed over a decade ago. The Stitzel-Weller profile is a really nice one, though having tasted several old Stitzel-Wellers, I would not say the Stitzel-Weller profile is too dissimilar to the profile that Buffalo Trace's wheated bourbons have. This is fortunate, because as the Stitzel-Weller bourbon is getting older and no more is being produced, the younger expressions are made up more and more of Buffalo Trace whiskey. Buffalo Trace tends to be a bit more wood-forward and not as overtly caramel sweet as Stitzel, but it's still within range.
Van Winkle's profile has been raising in recent years, buoyed heavily by mentions from celebrity chefs (Bourdain, Chang and Ripert among many others). Rising faster than its profile, however, is its price.
It's no secret that the kitchen is big business, and we have a tendency to want to follow and emulate the recommendations of those we look up to. However, in a nod to David Driscoll, I've got to say that you should try and find what you like personally. I personally found in an extensive blind tasting of wheated bourbon this summer that I have a real soft spot for a beautifully crafted 90-proof wheater. Not all 90 proofers, but there are some out there that really kill it with an unbelievably balanced profile. To take this in a different direction, as a musician – we're different physiologically than our heroes and teachers. I've never once used the same drumstick as my teachers – my hands are a bit smaller; I like something that's lighter in my hand. If I was following my teachers or heroes, I'd be struggling with an uncomfortable 747, 777, 85A or SD1. Instead, I like the plain old boring 5A – the 90 proof bourbon of drumsticks. I'd never reach these conclusions without the willingness to toss aside the bourbon gospel of barrel proof uber alles.
I don't have the depth of market history or insight that David does. I don't know the ins and outs of the wine market or the whiskey market (except as an enthusiast and member of the chattering class). However, my experience with whiskey says that it – even scotch – is a different beast than wine. Whiskey is a drink of the people. Whiskey is a drink for the everyman. I just feel in my gut that whiskey is heavily riding the wave of a slightly tongue-in-cheek and superficial desire to reconnect to the rugged personalities we like to imagine existed in the 60s and before. I can't help but feel like this will all be passé in a few years – which is then followed by a price collapse.
Maybe I'm wrong, which is also entirely possible. Maybe some whiskeys are going in the direction of Bordeaux and In five years I'll never taste another Macallan again. If that's truly the case, it's a shame. I think we have the opportunity to fight against an elitist, collecting, hoarding and status-seeking mentality that only helps drive prices explosively higher.
People like to imagine scotch as a marker of high status, that you've really arrived when you're drinking scotch. It's a drink of the rich and powerful, and is best enjoyed in tweed jackets, in old leather chairs in a study. Hey, that's a hell of a setting, but let me paint a separate picture, one of the Los Angeles Whisk(e)y Society.
LAWS is a group of guys who are by most any measure a fairly successful and sharp group of guys. Certainly there's some socioeconomic advantages enjoyed among the group; you won't see some of those ridiculous whiskies posted on the site if not. It's nothing if not an intensely passionate group of whisky enthusiasts, so there's definitely some nerdy discussions that are overheard – "I'm getting a real rancio note on this"; "This is a lot different than later Stitzel-Wellers", and so on. However, the night drags on and what you have is a very boisterous room of friends reconnecting after a month(ish), talking about family, movies, music, random blogs and online stuff, work, and so on. That's right: it's not a quietly reverential, cold and analytical group that is some sort of whisky version of Inside The Actor's Studio. It's loud, it's funny, the people are smart as it gets, but it's never too serious. I hope I haven't spoiled any illusions you may have.
Even when we're tasting Strathislas pushing 50 years old, or incredible oloroso-matured Glendronachs, there's always a grounded, earthy, joking presence. That, to me, is what is the core of the whisky experience. That, to me, is what we as a community (speaking much more broadly) need to foster.
Maybe we're all going to be priced out and remembering the heyday when we could afford a 40 year old Glendronach split 15 ways. But even if we can't, we can keep the spirit alive. This is what I mean when I say whisky is for the people: it's the drink of tailgate parties at your college. It's the drink your friends buy to wreck you after you've gotten blind drunk on your birthday. It's a little more grown-up, but it hasn't forgotten how to have fun. Your grandfather didn't drink bourbon because he was old, he drank it because he enjoyed it. (And he remembers when Old Grand-Dad used to be great stuff).
Let's not be afraid to visit the bottom shelf. Let's not forget we've got friends to share and split with. And for crying out loud, after you've finished taking your tasting notes, tell your friends that story where you looked like a complete idiot this last month. It's so much more fun when you're sharing it over a glass of whiskey. Along with the experiences, whiskey is better when it's shared – it's scientifically proven to taste better. (Maybe not, but if you share your rare Brora, someone else might share their rare Glenugie…)
In this spirit of whiskey for the everyman, a quick peek at Evan Williams 1783, as requested earlier this year.
The nose on 1783 has a heavy caramel presence, a touch of wood with some furniture polish, a very faint hint of sourness that provides a nice counterpoint to the sweetness, and some vanilla creaminess, with a more grainy turbinado sugar sweetness also.
The palate starts light, but gains a little weight. It leads with some slightly bitter wood, but it's nicely mixed with some big caramel notes and some toffee. It's got some light sugar, but it becomes more vanilla-creamy, which sits nicely in complement to the caramel. There's a light hint of citrus and some very slight black pepper. There's also a late hint of black tea tannins.
The finish is sweet, dominated by caramel, turbinado sugar and buttercream vanilla with some light cinnamon and pepper heat. A faint sourness keeps the sweet in check, and it's also got some faint black cherries.
1783 is a slightly more grown-up take on the standard black label Evan Williams. It mies well; it's also great straight. For me, it might supplant black label as a worthy low-price bourbon to keep on hand.
As my friend Adam says:
Drink whiskey!
At a glance:
Evan Williams 1783 43% ABV
Nose: Heavy caramel presence, a touch of wood with some furniture polish; a very faint hint of sourness in the nose in a way that provides a nice counterpoint to the sweetness; vanilla creaminess. Some turbinado sugar.
Palate: Light. Slightly bitter wood up front, mixed well with caramel with some light toffee. More light sugar hints but it's becoming a little more vanilla-creamy in nature which sits nicely against the caramel. A light citrus hint, and a very very slight dusting of black pepper. Hints of black tea.
Finish: Sweet on exit, caramel, turbinado sugar, some buttercream vanilla with some light cinnamon and pepper heat. Faint sourness and faint black cherries.
Comment: A slightly more grown-up take on standard black label Evan Williams. A superb mixer, solid to enjoy straight. This might supplant black label as a worthy low-price bourbon to keep on hand.
Rating: B-

Twitter: @StenhouseJr
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RickyStenhouseJr
Rookie Season:
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made his NASCAR Sprint Cup series debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2011. Ricky qualified for the 2011 Coca-Cola 600 in ninth place in the Wood Brothers' famous #21 the same year that Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 for that team. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. ran all day and brought it home in eleventh. This was an extremely impressive run for his first time racing with the big boys.
The following year Ricky Stenhouse Jr. jumped over to Roush Fenway Racing where he made four 2012 Sprint Cup series starts. These were largely forgettable runs but Ricky Stenhouse Jr. continued to gain experience. He posted a middle-of-the-pack twentieth place effort in the 2012 Daytona 500 which was won by his Roush teammate Matt Kenseth. He backed that up with a season-best twelfth place effort in Dover before finishing the season with a pair of late season DNFs in Charlotte and Homestead.
2013 marks Ricky Stenhouse Junior's official leap to the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. He will replace Matt Kenseth in the Roush Fenway Racing Best Buy #17 as he takes on the full NASCAR Sprint Cup series grind for the first time.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will face one main competitor in the 2013 Rookie of the Year battle. Danica Patrick also moves up to a full-time Sprint Cup series ride from the NASCAR Nationwide Series and both drivers will compete head-to-head for the 2013 rookie of the year honors.
Career Highlights:
2008 - Ran Full ARCA Season finishing Fourth in Points with Two wins
2009 - First NASCAR Nationwide Series Start
2010 - NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year
2011 - First NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Start
2011 - NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion
2012 - NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion
2013 - First Full NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Season
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.:
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is the classic story of how to get started in NASCAR. Born in Mississippi Ricky Stenhouse Jr. started racing go-karts at just six years of age. He showed some real talent behind the wheel of the karts and scored dozens of A-main victories which lead him to bigger and better things. Stenhouse was winning sprint car races before he was old enough to vote.
The same year he turned sixteen Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Dirt Winged Sprint Car Rookie of the Year title. He went on score multiple wins in the USC Sprint Car series before moving on to the USAC Sprints where he continued to win. He got the opportunity to run the Silver Crown cars in addition to his sprint car passion and it was in the Silver Crown series where he caught the eye of Tony Stewart who offered him a ride in Tony's USAC Sprint and Midget series cars.
In 2007 Stenhouse continued to find success in the USAC series clinching Rookie of the Year honors in both the USAC Sprint Car and USAC Midget series in the same year that he turned twenty years old.
Stenhouse's meteoric rise continued in 2008 as he moved to the ARCA series that season and posted another very impressive season for his new team owner Jack Roush.
From there the climb towards the top continued with the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year honors followed by the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship which he then successfully defended in 2012 with a second series title.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. moves into NASCAR's premier series for the 2013 Sprint Cup season. He lands safely in one of NASCAR's top teams and should have all of the tools to be successful right out of the box.
If he can duplicate his success from many seasons past Ricky Stenhouse Jr. just might be NASCAR's newest superstar.

My wife and I were considering purchasing a commercial building to house our growing business. I was not satisfied with the inspector I chose to take a close look at the property. I felt that he lacked some expertise needed to consider our future HVAC needs. We have to have refrigerated storage areas installed inside the building with a cool temperature working area. Our retail display area also has to not get too warm no matter how hot it is outside. I looked at http://www.texashvac.org/dallas/arlington/ to find the best HVAC company to advise us about the structure.
I knew that there would be considerable remodeling and retrofitting that needed to occur to build out the manufacturing and retail areas we needed as well as the refrigerated areas for raw materials and finished product. Continue reading
