- Awesome!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Having read other diners review, decided to have girls nite out at 15 th Street Fisheries,Did not disappoint. Starting from appetizers to entree,everything was delicious.Carlos our server was excellent,knowlegable about the menu and assisted in choosing some great entrees.The view added to the dining experience, making for an enjoyable evening out. ON my return list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/28/2014Took our daughter and husband from out of town. Food was excellent and view is fantastic. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.Special Features:
- Extraordinary Chilean Sea BassFoodee02Dined on 8/23/2014We dined there on a Saturday night (upstairs, accessible via elevator) on the "porch. We had a pleasant experience watching the intracoastal traffic. The menu had a lovely array of seafood with a chicken and beef entrée or two. My wife enjoyed the seared Diver Scallops in Provencal sauce with truffle & scallion mashed potatoes & grilled asparagus. I had an extraordinary Miso Glazed Roasted Chilean Sea Bass with mango fried rice and Thai stir fried vegetables. Every aspect of my our entrées was a delight and without a doubt my entrée was the best Sea Bass I have ever had. The sides were truly exceptional. Note that the porch can be a bit noisy during the hot months when the windows are closed. The other seating areas seemed much quieter.Special Features:
- Dinner DateHappy2eatDined on 8/18/2014We went to enjoy the food and the view upstairs. It was mainly empty but we were seated to a very loud and talkative customer at the next table. There isn't anything the restaurant could do about it I suppose. Also, the salad I ordered was all spinach and barely any other ingredients that were in the description. When asked if I liked it I said it was Ok. They asked if I wanted anything different and I said no. That was nice of them, but they also took it off of the check. That as great too. Of course we tipped on the entire bill because Lucy was so good. Next time I will request a little more private table if it's available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Key West SnapperPudgeDined on 8/17/2014Order it. Period. Angel was our waiter this time around. One of the best in town.Special Features:

- Tasty and FreshDecentVIPDined on 8/16/2014My husband and I were visiting the Ft. Lauderdale area and a local suggested we try this place. It was fantastic. We shared the crab cake appetizer, which is one of the best crab cakes I've ever had, filled with lumps of delicious crab. I had the swordfish with coconut curry and my husband had the shrimp pasta. Both were fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to visitors and locals alike.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Expensive, good food, nice ambianceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/9/2014Service was lacking.

- Well-Prepared Food, Great ServiceCVGJetGuyVIPDined on 8/2/2014I've not been to 15th Street Fisheries in a few years but am glad to see that it's still a great experience. The food offerings bring out the best of seasonal Florida seafood with great preparations and some modern twists. The service teams ensure that attention doesn't lapse, even when the primary server is not available. The desserts are absolutely something not to miss.Special Features:
- Fine dinning reviewJeffDined on 8/2/2014The 15th Street Fisheries is composed of a casual downstairs/outside restaurant and a fine dinning upstairs restaurant. The ratings are for the fine dinning component. I'm certain that both part merit excellent rating. The restaurant is on the inter-coastal waterway and has excellent views of the water traffic. Would certainly return to this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good Food @ NYC PricesTravelerGrandpaDined on 7/27/2014We dined upstairs, not dockside. The food was good and creative. Gourmet ….. no not really, but tasty. I had the diver scallops and they were delicious. For an appetizer I had their shrimp & grits and it too was very tasty, but I would have preferred it to come without heads & tails attached. Service was attentive and timely. Cannot comment on the mixed drinks, we had wine with the meal. Would I go back, yes, but not right away and not without a special occasion to celebrate… this was a birthday dinner.Special Features:
- fantasticShashaDined on 7/24/2014Excellent dinner with wonderful staff and an adorable waitress....Anniversary surprise with a candle in the desert and a song from the staff. the food was beautfiully presented and well prepared. NO complaits whatsoever and that is rare from someone who loves to cook!Special Features:
- Just excellent!HappyTummyDined on 7/23/2014I absolutely LOVED the experience in itself! My mother really loved it and her birthday was the reason for the visit. Greater views than what I expected, welcoming staff, great prices for worth of the food! I expected to pay atleast $150 for the bill and the total was actually half the price. Will recommend to everyone! I'll be back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Seafood in Fort LauderdaleCholorodDined on 7/22/2014It's relaxing as soon as you put your feet inside the restaurant - have a drink at the bar overlooking the Marina; then go outside or upstairs inside, depending on weather to experience the best seafood in FLL. We tried delicious lumpy Crab Cakes, superb Spiny Lobster Tail & an undescriptible pound of King of the Kings Crab Legs - with drawn butter! Unique like a finger print.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- terrible service with a great viewpdeveloperDined on 7/22/2014they seemed surprised that customers showed up on a Tuesday in July. We waited an hour for our food, must be cooking over a matchbook.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food - Fair ServiceRichardMDined on 7/22/2014I would give our waiter (Angel) who was not attentive, and we waited to get initial service, drinks, and to place our order, a 3 out of 10 rating. It was a Tuesday night at 7:00pm so I expected service would be very timely. The food was properly priced for the venue and excellent in tast and quality! The portion sizes were sufficient - this is not an all you can eat place in case you don't know. I had two business guests with me, and they enjoyed the food and ambiance. I would certainly give them another chance.Special Features:
- nice viewnounouVIPDined on 7/19/2014the best spot is the upstairs restaurant: nice view, good service, very good menu, good food just need some salt in dishes the big problem is the parking. just a very small road to get there. (just one way) they don't have enough space for parking. have to wait a long time to have access to the valet, too many cars waiting... need to arrive 30 minutes before the reservation time!!!Special Features:

I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fort Lauderdale Dining TreasureLovingFLseafoodDined on 7/1/2014Went here over a few Zagat reviewed choices for first night on the town. Exceeded all our expectations! All our appetizers and entrees were tasty and delicious. We knew the dining was going to be an excellent experience as soon as we partook of the bread basket. Marie, our server, was very pleasant and attentive to our every need. The room was quiet and an offered an excellent view. The dock below had an underwater light, so at night you could see shadows of the large fish coming to feast on treats offered them by people passing by. Do not pass this restaurant up, if you are in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Still to touristyRoyCS1VIPDined on 6/28/2014Amazing view of the intercostal water way, food price is higher than the value of the dishes served. For a restaurant to charge these types of prices you expect a much high caliber of food quality. Sauces used by the chef miss the mark by trying to be tropical. Roy CSSpecial Features:
- dependablejgb33328Dined on 6/27/2014the food is consistently tasty. the service was a little slow, and even though we dined early, and the restaurant was not crowded, food took a very long time to come out. they mixed up a couple of our salads, but quality of food delicious.Special Features:

According to Jim Souhan, Joe Mauer is "the softest of stars" ... and wait, there's so much more. Just two snippets, for the flavor ...
That Mauer didn't start at catcher on Sunday wasn't a crime. His manager, Ron Gardenhire, is determined to protect Mauer's legs and back by keeping him from catching in day games following night games. Mauer didn't beg out of the game; Gardenhire never gave him the chance.
Mauer's crime is that he didn't volunteer to play first base for a team desperate for hitting, leaving Gardenhire to play Luke Hughes out of position at first.
With his team desperate for runs and wins, Mauer has relaxed. That's why some of his teammates have been rolling their eyes this season whenever his name is mentioned.
He has proved to be the softest of stars, and if that wasn't bad enough, his $184 million contract could prevent the Twins from retaining a valuable veteran who plays whenever and wherever the Twins need him.
Later in the piece, Souhan compares Mauer (unfavorably, of course) to
- Michael Cuddyer, who happily plays 11 positions and is very close to curing colon cancer, and
- Alex Avila, a catcher who actually played one game at third base, once.
Look, I don't know if Joe Mauer is soft. I do know that a sportswriter can't have any real idea how badly a player is hurting. I also know that while a player's teammates might have some idea, they generally think no injury is serious unless it's their own. That's just human nature.
And of course, Mauer did try to play hurt, at the start of the season. That was a disaster.
Could he play first base? Sure. Anyone can play first base, right? Except every time I say that, someone tells me it's a lot harder than I think (which it is). Anyway, Mauer did take some grounders at first, Monday. He's a good athlete, when he's healthy anyway, and could probably do a passable job there with some practice.
That doesn't seem to me the issue. The issue is whether you want your best player, recovering from a mysterious-but-presumably-real-enough injury, playing more often than his doctors and his manager think advisable. With his team nowhere near first place, and the club's other superstar out until August.
And a question, too ... Did anyone now criticizing Joe Mauer, or questioning his $184 million contract, raise any objections in March 2010 when the deal was done? All I heard at the time was, "Yes it's a lot of money, but the Twins had to keep Mauer. He's a hometown guy!"
To Souhan's credit, he did mention the caveats. Just before the Twins locked up Mauer, Souhan wrote a long column that included this:
A public relations expert would urge the Twins to sign Mauer at any cost. A statistician or scout might argue that he might never duplicate his remarkable 2009 season, that he has been plagued by injuries, that the Twins are high on catching prospect Wilson Ramos, that the franchise might be better off spending the $200 million it might take to sign Mauer on a handful of other players.
So at least he's been consistent about the money.
I don't believe that Joe Mauer's soft. I don't believe Joe Mauer should consider "giving back some of those millions" (as the headline on Souhan's latest column suggests). I do believe, as Souhan believed a year ago, than committing nearly $200 million to a player coming off his best season was more than a little risky.
Obviously, any huge contract is a calculated risk. We just don't if the calculations were done correctly. And seeing as how 2011 is the first year of the contract -- which pays Mauer $23 million per year -- to this point the risk hasn't paid off.
For much more about Mauer and the Twins, please visit Twinkie Town.

Washington - Mike Thibault wasn't out of work for long ... and now he has two jobs.
Thibault, fired last month as head coach of the Connecticut Sun after leading them to eight WNBA playoff appearances in 10 seasons, was named head coach and general manager of the Washington Mystics on Tuesday.
He replaces former coach and GM Trudi Lacey, who was let go in September after the Mystics went 11-55 over the past two seasons.
"Mike Thibault has an exemplary track record in building and coaching successful teams," team president Sheila C. Johnson said in a statement released by the Mystics. "We are excited about him coming on board, and based on his experience and sustainable tenure in the WNBA, we are confident that he will establish a new era in Mystics basketball."
Thibault, a two-time WNBA Coach of the Year (2006 and 2008), took the Sun to the WNBA Finals in 2004 and 2005, but was let go for failing to deliver a championship.
Thibault went 206-134 in the regular season with the Sun. He needs six victories to pass former Houston Comets coach Van Chancellor to become the winningest coach in league history.
"I am extremely excited to be asked to lead the Washington Mystics into a new era that I believe will be extremely successful on and off the court," Thibault said. "Ted Leonsis, Sheila Johnson and all of their partners in Monumental Sports & Entertainment are making a commitment to me, the players and all of our fans and sponsors to re-dedicate the Mystics to being one of the WNBA's flagship organizations and I am ready to get started doing my part to make that happen."

Authorities are searching for two men who robbed a Waffle House restaurant in Hapeville.
The incident happened on the 900 block of Crown Road in SW Atlanta.
According to Atlanta Police, two black men pulled up in a van and brandished a handgun to the clerk at the counter.
The clerk says the robbers demanded all the money from workers and employees submitted to their demand, also giving up the tip jar.
The bandits get back into their van and left the scene. No one was injured during the robbery.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Atlanta Police or 911.

DUNLAP, Ill -- Teaching a room of second graders has it's challenges, but one teacher is using different techniques to help her students.
Dunlap Principal Mandy Ellis nominated 2nd grade teacher Kelsie Zarko for the HOI 19 and CEFCU $1,000 One Class at a Time grant after hearing about her research and passion to help her students learn.
"She came to me this summer and had all these great ideas to improve her classroom and to make it a 21st century environment for her students and I simply didn't have the budget to allocate towards that," said Ellis.
Zarko said, "We typically put kids in desk and we put them in rows or even in groups, but kids are really meant to sit all day and sit still. Research shows that sitting on the exercise balls or doing exercise really helps neurologically and helps them focus."
Kinesthetic learning means you need to move around and touch things to learn most effectively.
"There's lots of things to look at when you're 7," explains Zarko.
Zarko already has several of the exercise balls. She is seeing so much benefit, she would like one for every student.
"I think a lot of the behavior issues leave because their getting the sensory input by sitting on the balls," she added.
She would also like to use some of the grant money for another idea she has researched.
Zarko said, "I read about a district who used exercise bikes while kids were reading and there was a lot of achievement growth through that, so I would like to explore that too."
Zarko said this grant will give her students lots of options, while learning in a motivational and fun environment.
"I think it's also important to learn to sit on a chair because in a real life you need to sit on a chair sometimes," she said.

Albert Pujols, one of the greatest free agents in the history of free agency, would seem to have a bit of leverage. He has the Miami Marlins fighting for him, and he has the St. Louis Cardinals fighting to keep him. One of things that Pujols plans to do with that leverage, apparently, is push for a no-trade clause. Not so fast, says Marlins president David Samson:
Marlins pres David Samson says: "There will NOT be a free agent signed that includes a no-trade clause." So team sticking with policy.
If Pujols were to re-sign with the Cardinals, he would have de facto protection from a trade as a 10/5 player -- a player who has been in the league for ten years, and with the same team for at least the last five. The Marlins would need to write any no-trade protection into a Pujols contract, which they're apparently unwilling to do. And if they didn't do it for Reyes, there's a bit of a precedent for the team not caving on this particular policy.
Pujols's fear is crazy, though. It's not like the Marlins are going to go all wacky in free agency and then turn around and trade everyone after a year or two, right? What sort of team would do that?

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Three businesses have been issued citations who were reportedly selling alcohol to minors.
These compliance checks are run through the Ohio Investigative Unit. A total of 11 Fulton County businesses were checked for illegal liquor sales.
They send a trained informant who is under the age of 21 into local businesses to try and buy alcohol. If a sale is made the businesses is issued a citation. The employee making that sale is charged as well.
"It's just crucial that you check the IDs. We're trying to do everything in our power to keep underage kids from being able to obtain alcohol and they're just another tool in that fight" said chief of Wauseon police Keith Torbet.
The Wauseon police department hosts training sessions about safe alcohol sales. They're free and designed for clerks or festival workers.
If interested in attending, call the Wauseon police department at (419) 335-3821

Lush wins trademark fight against Amazon at the High Court
Updated 11:28am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Darren Slade
POOLE cosmetics firm Lush has won a High Court victory over online giant Amazon, which it accused of infringing its trade-marks.
Lush does not sell via Amazon and said the internet retailer was misleading customers into thinking they were buying Lush products.
Lush objected to the fact that visitors typing "lush" into Amazon UK's search box were directed to other brands of cosmetics.
Amazon also ran a Google AdWords campaign, showing customers' products from rival brands when they typed in the keywords "Lush bath products".
The court decided that Lush had established its trademarks had been infringed and that the average consumer would gen-erally be unable to ascertain the goods in Amazon's search results were not connected to Lush.
The court held that the "right of the public to access tech-nological developments does not allow a trader such as Amazon to ride roughshod over intellectual property rights, to treat trade-marks such as Lush as no more than a generic indication of a class of goods in which the con-sumer might have an interest".
Karl Bygrave of Lush said: "This was not only about Amazon using our trademark as a keyword to generate sponsored listings on search engines, but mainly about customers.
"When customers were on the Amazon site, they were unable to tell that our products are not sold on Amazon and therefore bought products believing them to have been Lush products when they were not.
"In just the same way that Amazon prides itself on being innovative, so do we.
"We have built worldwide recognition in our trademarks and patented products so customers know they're buying Lush products.
"We work hard to maintain our ethical integrity in all aspects of our business. Lush is our house mark and our business is dependent upon it.
"We will always protect our name."
An Amazon spokesman said only: "We plan to appeal this."
Lush was founded in the 1980s by Mark and Mo Constantine, who set up the Herbal Hair and Beauty Clinic in Poole High Street and supplied cosmetics to the Body Shop in their early days.
The Lush brand name was established in the 1990s and a branch in London's King's Road helped turn the company into a worldwide success after celebrities such as Madonna and Julia Roberts were spotted shopping there.

Amazon and eBay together with Google are making it virtually impossible for smaller companies to get a decent listing on Google without paying out huge amounts to Goggle.

David Graham wrote:If one is searching for Lush products (which are anything but), then it is obvious one is after overpriced, stinking soap products. It makes perfect sense to return results for same if you do not have any my that particular manufacturer, provided said products are not being sold using that brand name.
speedy231278, they were objecting to the single term of "Lush" being used which directs you to other Cosmetics brands, thus Amazon must had built in a level of intelligence. I agree with you that if one typed "Lush Bath" you would expect to get 'Bath' products displayed and in this case Lush is a generic dictionary term and not a brand once zero results are returned (ie they don't sell Lush products).
As an aside, how many people might use the name Hoover to search for a vacuum cleaner?

text: This biography is about my Dad, Siu Kit Wah B.E.M.(蕭傑華), through the eyes of his growing son in Colonial time. He went on to serve 4 governors, from Sir David Trench to Lord David Wilson. He prepared everything from finger food to dinner parties for the Kings and Queens and many foreign dignitaries in a time span of more than 30 years. There were stressful moments and interesting anecdotes. I thought it would be nice to tell his stories so that the grandchildren and their progenies would get to know this gentle chef.

A star of a uniquely Texas television show, all about those people who handle venomous serpents, visited East Texas. He's been bitten many times. But 62-year-old Jackie Bibby, star of Animal Planet's 'Rattlesnake Republic,' says he always has a healthy respect for rattlesnakes.
"There is of course danger in what I do, because I'm dealing with venomous reptiles which have the potential to kill you. 12 bites in 44 years is a lot of rattlesnake bites. We have to respect theses animals have the potential to hurt you," he says.
At Barefoot Bay Marina at Lake Bob Sandlin to do a live segment for his Animal Planet channel series, 'Rattlesnake Republic', his message was: even an expert can make a mistake with a venomous snake.
"Anytime you're dealing with a wild animal, that animal does not read a script. There's never any guarantee. That's why I have a prosthetic leg and some of the scars that I have," Bibby says.
Respect is one thing, but fear is something Bibby can not have.
"You can not be fearful to the point that its going to make you nervous, because these snakes are going to strike at two stimuli. Food and fear," he said.
'Rattlesnake Republic' airs on Sunday nights at 7 p.m. on Animal Planet.

Environmental Education
Robust environmental education is a down payment to grow the next generation of scientists, promote environmental stewardship, and encourage Americans to live healthier lifestyles. In addition, research shows that hands on environmental education has a measurably positive impact not only on student achievement in science, but also in reading, math, and social studies. Yet, environmental education is facing a national crisis. Many schools are being forced to scale back or eliminate environmental programs. State and local administrators and teachers point to two factors behind this recent and disturbing shift: the unintended consequences of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) such as narrowed curriculum, and a lack of funding for these critical programs.
The United States can no longer afford to treat environmental education as optional. Environmental education is critical for helping young Americans make the complex conceptual connections between economic prosperity, lifestyle choices and energy use, environmental health and their own well being. Across the globe, problems caused by climate change, pollution, and resource depletion are increasingly acute: they are issues that will soon confront today's young people.
Elementary and Secondary Education
H.R. 5172, the Instructional Leadership Act of 2009 encourages states to develop and incorporate standards of instructional leadership into the certification and training of exemplary or highly qualified principals who can drive gains in academic achievement for all children by:
H.R. 5172 will be the necessary first step towards developing a generation of school leaders who are committed to, and effective in, increasing student achievement.
Higher Education
Legislation that Congressman Sarbanes authored, the Education for Public Service Act, has become law through the passage of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. The Education for Public Service Act created an enhanced student loan forgiveness program for those young men and women who want to serve their communities in public sector or non-profit jobs, such as teaching, civil service, law enforcement, at no cost to taxpayers. Read More »
High student loan debt and low starting salaries have made careers in public service untenable for many. Yet the need for public-interest and government workers has never been greater. The College Cost Reduction and Access Act offers a program designed to alleviate the disproportionate burden placed on these workers.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Option, which Congressman Sarbanes authored and became law in 2007, allows individuals who work in public service and make regular loan payments to have the balance of their student loans forgiven after ten years. Starting July 1st, individuals with student loans will also be able to enter into an Income-Based Repayment (IBR) plan that will lower their monthly payments based on a debt to income ratio, which can be calculated using the tools located here
• If you work in an eligible public service profession, you can enroll in the income-contingent repayment (ICR) program, which lowers the monthly payment on eligible student loans.
• Eligible student loans include any loans disbursed through the Federal Direct Loan Program or other Federal loans consolidated through the Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Program.
• Eligible public service professions include full-time employment in—
• After 10 years of making this lower monthly payment the balance of your loan is forgiven.
• The 10 year payment period does not need to be consecutive, so a borrower may leave public service, work in the private sector, then return to public service.
• As long as 10 years of monthly payments are made while enrolled in the program, the borrowers remaining debt is forgiven.

Cast your mind back to last summer, when virtually every Left-leaning politician and columnist in the country was denouncing House Republicans for "holding the country hostage" to their Tea Party demands, or whatever. Many, including the Vice President, ramped up the rhetoric by comparing the GOP to terrorists. At stake was whether Congress would secure dollar-for-dollar offsets to President Obama latest debt ceiling increase request. Democrats — who at first insisted on a "clean" debt increase with no strings attached — eventually demanded a deal that included huge tax increases. Republicans refused. Many painful machinations and meetings later, a tax-free deal was finally struck.* (Our credit national credit was downgraded anyway because Standard & Poor's didn't believe our political system was prepared to deal with our crushing long term debt problem in a serious way. They were right. Since the downgrade, the responsible House-passed budget has been rejected by a Democrat-held Senate that hasn't even attempted to pass its own budget resolution in three years, and by a president whose budget proposals have (a) been unanimously defeated, and (b) not offered any debt solutions — by the White House's own admission). That was how our leaders approached the last fiscal cliff. With another one approaching, Democrats — to borrow their term — are engaging in some reckless hostage-taking brinksmanship of their own:

The mangled sheet metal and car parts were strewn throughout the Daytona International Speedway garage like the set of a disaster movie. And many of the men who drove the machines – even the ones who escaped unscathed – did not look particularly happy.
"Ain't much racing anymore," Clint Bowyer said, walking through the garage. "Just wait your turn to wreck."
"I just feel bad, because I can't do anything to make the car faster for the guys," Ryan Newman said, making the same walk moments later. "You're just at the mercy of the situation. It's not good."
"I don't know what to say," Jeff Burton said. "Plate racing is a huge challenge. One of the great things about the tandem (racing) was it separated the pack; one of the bad things about the tandem is I guess people thought it was boring."
And so we've arrived at this: The 2012 Bud Shootout turned into a Saturday night Demolition Derby, finishing with only 10 cars on the lead lap and half the field in the garage.
But that might not be a bad thing. Depending on your perspective, the race was either a disgrace to NASCAR or one of the most entertaining Shootouts in years.
The fans had told NASCAR they hated the two-car tandem drafts, which had become a phenomenon and dominated Daytona Speedweeks in 2011, so officials reacted by making changes to limit the drafting.
Saturday's Bud Shootout proved the changes worked, restoring the old-style pack racing.
"It was really like you just rewound the clock to three years ago," sixth-place finisher Greg Biffle said.
But eliminating the two-car drafts also turned out to be a case of "Be careful what you wish for." The return of the big packs meant a comeback for the "Big One" – the massive multi-car pileups that have made Daytona and its sister track Talladega famous.
"Look at the guys working on those cars," one disgusted crew member said. "Pack racing is real 'fun,' huh?"
As it turned out, there wasn't a "Big One" on Saturday night, though; there was a "Big Three."
A trio of nasty crashes wiped out most of the contenders and left the race up to Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch to decide. Busch, who had made jaw-dropping saves to keep his car intact and avoid wrecks, beat Stewart to the finish line in the closest-ever Bud Shootout result.
Not surprisingly, both Stewart and Busch were among those quite pleased with the pack racing.
"I had more fun as a driver tonight than what we've had in the past," Stewart said. "... This is a lot more fun than the two-car stuff."
"It's all in the drivers' hands, how boring or how exciting we want to make the race," Busch said. "I think tonight's was pretty exciting."
There were other happy drivers, too – including a couple whose nights ended prematurely.
"I like this kind of racing better," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after crashing out of the race. "At least I know what to expect. I feel like I have a better chance with this style than I did last year, for damn sure."
Even Jeff Gordon, who went flipping across the track and barrel-rolled for the first time in his racing career, said he approved of the pack racing.
"It's pretty wild and crazy, but I like this better than what we had last year, definitely," he said.
But other drivers saw it completely differently.
"You're just running into each other," Brad Keselowski said. "Just a bunch of angry drivers in a traffic jam. It's difficult."
It all comes down to personal preference. Just as with NASCAR fans, the drivers aren't close to a consensus on the preferred form of restrictor-plate racing.
But love it or hate it, pack racing is back. And there are 500 more miles of it to come next Sunday.
"I think that's what the fans want to see, you know?" Biffle said. "And we were only three-wide tonight. Wait until the 500. We're going to be four-wide."

Derry News
---- — When wildlife and residential life collide, the results can be unsettling — or worse.
Such was the case last weekend when a coyote ran into the yard of Pamela and Ron Crawford, then attacked their two miniature pinschers, out for their evening romp.
Spanky, 10, died as a result of the attack. Spike, 13, will survive.
Pamela Crawford said she thinks a dog should be safe in its own yard.
But as humans demand more elbow room, shopping plazas and highways, wild animals are forced to adapt. That often means bears, deer, moose and, yes, coyotes, are turning up in places they might not have been seen a decade or more ago.
Derry Animal Control Officer Marlene Bishop points to the widening of Route 28 and the associated retail development as factors in the increase in wildlife sightings in back yards in heavily populated areas.
Many animals, particularly coyotes, skunks and possums, are opportunistic feeders; they will eat whatever's easily accessible. More often than before, those easy meals may be someone's pet.
There are some easy ways to protect the family cat or dog. Cats should be kept indoors; ask any local feline rescue or animal shelter. They are easy targets for marauding wildlife.
Dogs should be kept on a leash or secured in a fenced-in area, with a watchful human nearby.
The Crawfords did what they could to protect their six dogs, installing an electric fence designed to keep their canines in their yard. That worked, but it didn't keep the coyote out. They now plan to add a chain-link fence.
Coyotes do some good, too, feasting on rats and other rodents that can destroy a farmer's crop. State Fish and Game officials say they pose little danger to humans.
Last week, the Londonderry Town Council applauded a plan to develop a sanctuary within the Musquash Conservation Area for the endangered New England cottontail. New Hampshire has less cottontail habitat than any other New England state.
The rabbits have fallen prey to human development, foxes — and coyotes. The proposed cottontail habitat would take 15 years to develop and would involve cutting lots of trees. Timber sales will help fund the project and may benefit the town, too.
The balance of nature is tricky business. Human intervention is not always a bad thing, but maintaining predator/prey relationships can result in individual distress or heartbreak.
That's small consolation to the Crawfords, mourning the loss of their Spanky.
But the cycle continues, sometimes with humans bearing the cost of their encroachment, sometimes with humans working to repair the damage they have wrought.

Be Your Own Woman
Fashion Faux Pas
We all have one article of clothing in our closet that speaks to us, and this is what it says: What the hell were you thinking? For me, this item is something called a shrug. It's hot pink and made of rabbit fur. Here is how I came to own it: I walked into a party, and nearly every female in the room was wearing one. It was like the road company of Little Bunny FuFu. True, these women were all about 6 feet tall and size 2, but I was not dissuaded: If I wore one, surely I would radiate the same winsome quality!
Approximately one month later, rabbit-fur shrugs had vanished from the face of the earth -- just as I was ready to don the one I had just bought for $300. I would like to tell you that this incident occurred during my copycat teenage years. But no -- I was 40. Winsome I was not.
I mention this mortifying episode because fashion is merely the most benign of the myriad ways we are swayed by the tastes and opinions of others. I do not hate myself (much) because of the shrug. I do, however, wallow in self-loathing whenever my desire not to make waves stops me from confronting others who are being offensive or ignorant.
Recently, for example, I told a group of friends over lunch about another friend who had just been diagnosed with lung cancer. "Didn't she smoke like two packs a day?" retorted my friend Janine. "Face it, she had it coming." Heads nodded all around, and another friend suggested that it's the same with overweight people who have strokes: You reap what you sow.
I wanted to scream, Hey, you smug morons, my mother was fat and had a stroke; no one "deserves" a stroke or cancer. But then I stopped myself. I mean, I'm not pro-smoking or pro-fat, am I? So I said nothing. Later, I thought of the famous line from Les Miserables: "If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!"

Study Abroad in Israel
FDU Freshman Year in Israel
The FDU Freshman Year in Israel Program provides opportunities for high school graduates from the U.S. to complete their first year of college study at Tel Aviv University or The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, both of which are fully accredited by the Israel Council of Higher Education and are among the best known and most prestigious universities in Israel, before returning to Fairleigh Dickinson University to complete their degree.
Under the FDU Freshman Year in Israel Program, students apply to and enroll at Fairleigh Dickinson University as freshmen prior to traveling to Israel for a one- or two-semester academic program for visiting freshmen. While studying in Israel, students can earn up to 18 college credits for one semester or up to 36 college credits for a full academic year. The program includes opportunities to travel in Israel, meet and socialize with Israeli students, and enjoy a vast array of cultural enrichment opportunities.
Transcripts from Tel Aviv University and The Hebrew University are sent to Fairleigh Dickinson University at the completion of a student's program in Israel and credits automatically become FDU credits. No college deferral is necessary as with many gap-year programs. Since students enroll at FDU during their freshman year, they are eligible for state, federal and institutional aid to help defray the costs of their studies in Israel. Students pay the same tuition and fees as they would for a semester or academic year at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
For more information contact Dr. Jason Scorza at 201-692-7360 or email@example.com
Traditional Study Abroad
Fairleigh Dickinson University also offers students a traditional study abroad option at Tel Aviv University or The Hebrew University of Jerusalem during their sophomore or junior year.
For more information contact Brian Swanzey at 201-669-7365 or email@example.com
FDU and the Jewish Community
|Fairleigh Dickinson University's Metropolitan Campus, in Teaneck, NJ, is located in the midst of one of largest and most vibrant Jewish communities in the world. The campus is surrounded by services and amenities, including kosher restaurants, cafes, markets, shops, synagogues, community centers, and social activities, as well as potential host families for students wishing to live in a kosher home while studying at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

TheThirdManIn~Radio "INTERVIEW: STEVE LUDZIK"
Monday August 23, 2010 ~ Right-click to download here
Steve Ludzik has done it all. From achieving an elite level in junior hockey with Niagara Falls to overcoming Crohn's disease to become the Blackhawks' second-round pick in 1980. Ludzik was a key component of the Blackhawks teams throughout the 80′s. He went on to transition into coaching after a brief stint with the Sabres and Rochester in the AHL, as well as a year of playing in Austria. Ludzik twice reached the International Hockey League finals with the Detroit Vipers, winning the Turner Cup (IHL Championship) in 1997, defeating the Long Beach Ice Dogs; and losing a 7-game series with the Chicago Wolves the following season. In the NHL, Ludzik coached the Tampa Bay Lightning from 1999-2001, and after a year leading Don Cherry's Mississauga Ice Dogs (OHL), he assisted Rick Dudley behind the Florida Panthers' bench and coached their minor league affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. In recent years, Steve has been a popular on-air personality on television and radio with The Score in Canada and on TSN. And now, he's penned a book about it all.
Ludzik has truly "Been There Done That."
Always entertaining and gracious with his time, Ludzik spoke to us for an hour about his career, his teammates and the game he's given so much to. His book is truly outstanding and a great read for any Blackhawks' fan, and certainly followers of those teams full of character over the course of the 80′s. "Been There Done That" (co-authored by Steve Wilson) is crammed full of stories you don't want to miss. Stories, about, but not limited to, Ludzik's great friend Steve "Grandpa" Larmer, Orval Tessier, Robert Jesse Pulford, Mike Keenan, Dr. Louis Kolb, pranks amongst teammates, officiating a midget wrestling match and a stories of the blatant arrogance of the 80′s Edmonton Oilers you've probably not heard anywhere else. Its a book full of history and humor. You can purchase a copy now at Ludzy.com.

- Thoughts on NHLPA in his day; players he is most-concerned for; the Kovalchuk contract controversy, and whether Ludzik thinks the league and player's association is headed for another dreaded stand-off.
All that and so much more, including the revealing of our Superstar's true identity. Steve is a tremendous guest and with so many things we've yet to cover with him, we'll get him back on later on this season. After Steve leaves the show, we discuss Cristobal Huet's new place of residency for the upcoming season, as well as Antti Niemi's remaining options. And a few other topics as well, including the old Norris Division hockey rivalries and Gary Bettman's hero, David Stern.

Animals 2U came to help us celebrate our kindergarten's 20th anniversary. They were a huge success! Some children didn't want to leave the animal enclosure the whole party! The animals were clean and adorable - we all wanted to take the cat home! Thanks for a fantastic contribution to our Kinder celebration! I would highly recommend Animals 2U for any occasion.

Animal farm was used to help celebrate my son's 2nd birthday. They were absolutely fantastic. Were wonderful with the kids, cleaned up after the animals. The face painting added an extra nice touch and the kids (and adults) all had a fabulous time. Can't recommended Animals2U highly enough!

Your pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable & I (...) Read more
