Pours a dark golden amber in color with a nice inch of head forming on the pour. Really looks good in the glass. A little bit of grassy hops in the nose but mostly bready malts are present. Taste is very biscuity, bready malts. Crisp and tasty on the mouthfeel. This is a very good offering. I could drink quite a bit of this.

Bottle pours a hazy dark amber, almost copper, body with a healthy beige head that is creamy and lasting. Lots of patchy lace on the glass.
Aroma is very malty, with waves of caramel and toffee. Ripe pears add a fruity note and the Cascades hops contribute some pine and grapefruit.
Mouthfeel serves up a creamy full medium body and ample carbonation.
Taste is malt driven, with a lot of caramel and earthy toffee sweetness. Ripe pears show up, along with grapefruit and pine hop bitterness, but it's really a struggle for the hops to balance the major league maltiness.
An interesting hop bill, with Fuggles and Cascades, but the malt presence here is a bit overbearing.

Appears a clear copper hue with a light off white khaki head. Forms fine speckled lacing evenly up the sides of my glass. Aroma is very tame with a mild herbal/citric hop accent and light caramel maltiness. Flavor is dominated by sticky sweet carmamelized sugars that simply coat the palate in a very much ovebearingly unbalanced way. The hop bite really doesn't make it across because of the extent of the sweetness of the sticky sweet caramelized malts, maybe in the back end there's a touch of herbal citric hop character but nothing pungently bitter. Mouthfeel may be the worst part it almosts gags me to gulp this down very harsh sticky unrefined caramelized malts on the palate make the whole experience unbearable. Overall this is a really mediocre example of an APA and I question that style branding for a beer called Over the Rhine.

12 oz bottle from a mix 12-pack, undated but purchased near the brewery just yesterday.
This is a fine and fine-looking beer. Deep reddish amber body iscovered by a durable and creamy tan head. Excellent lacing.
The aroma and flavor are both less hop forward than the classification as an APA would lead you to expect. In this case, I think it is more due to the larger load of sweet and medium roast malts than to a shortage of hops. In any case, the beer is sweet up front and only mildly bitter in the aftertaste, with at least as much roast and caramel malt flavor as there is hops (Cascade and Fruggle in this case).
Good mouthful, with creamy smoothness and soft carbonation that givs the impression of a full bodied beer.

12oz. brown bottled poured into a pint.
A: Deep amber pour that's on the brownish side. 1 1/2 fingers of off white head with good retention. Big ring of lace at the top and just little bits of patching throughout.
S: Sweet malty body that's spotted with deep rustic grains. A noticeable hop character that's slightly acidic. Good balance between the two.
T/M: The balance continues in the taste. Both a nice hop punch with mild bitterness and a hardy malt backbone. Malts are deep and rich with a butter taste and texture. Toward the end, the malts sweeten just a touch.
D: Great tasting and very sessionable. This is one of my go-to beers and I love bringing this to poker games and having other want to try it.

OTR pours a clean reddish terracotta with a thin sponge like white head that fades insignificantly. Crystal clear and not very interesting to look at. The carbonation is limited and doesn't contribute to appearance.
Scent is slightly above average. If I could give it a 3.1 I would because it is kind of boring but still appealing. Mostly malt notes with a total lack of hops. The grains smell slightly dated and kind of old but not to the point of wet cardboard.
Taste is a redeeming quality. The malts really come to life, fresh slightly sweet and very flavorful. A nice surprise despite the shortcomings of the nose. The hops make a brief appearance but only as bitterness. There isn't much of a hop flavor which points to this being closer to a English ale then an APA.
This beer is lack luster and boring. The bitterness has less bite then I would like for an APA. A drying of the palate and mouth hole in general also displeases me. A middle of the road beer that is worth a try but not one of my favorites.

This one was on tap at the Hyde Park Tavern in Cincy.
The color is a deep, clear dark amber-red. There's some active carbonation in the glass. It was filled to the top, so a small foamy head wasn't really able to do much.
There's a nice hops backing on the nose with a nice malt counterpart. The aromas aren't weak, but they're soft. There's an underlying grains aroma with a gentle spice and a gentle sweetness lingering as well.
The taste is as expected, with a little more coming out from that sweetness; it's similar to citrus without the tangy zest that comes with it. There's a nice hops flavor in a lingering finish and a toasted bready grains flavor comes out more strongly.
The mouthfeel isn't especially crisp or smmoth, though it is both to a point. There's a tingly carbonation on the tongue the entire way. The body is on the lighter side of medium.
This is my first from this brewery from my first time in Cincinnati and it was a pretty nice offering.

Christian Moerlein- OTR Ale
Thanks to Pimpp for this 1.
A- A ruddy brown with a HUGE frothy/ creamy head. The head lasted almost the entire beer. Messy lacing down half the glass.
S- Strong pine hops with a sweet candy butterrum/ butter scotch/ toffee malt.
T- Green hops, pine needles, toffee/ caramel malt and licorice.
M- Tart with an oily pine finish. Slighty sweet and cloying in the end.
Overall- Like candy, I could drink and drink this til I got sick.

I am from Cincinnati and I am very proud of this beer! Christian Moerlein is a great brewery and I really enjoy their selection, minus the indian pale ale.
A- The beer has a nice color and doesn't look watered down by any means.
S- The smell is almost a mix between hops and a fruity pebbles smell.
T- This is one of the best tasting beers out there. Its bold but has a great mix of flavors.
M- A little bit of bite with a great after taste.
D-Strong stuff and a six pack will gave you a thrill. Its very drinkable and goes great with a meal.
IF you have not had this beer then TRY IT!!

Poured from a 12 oz twist-top bottle into a Duvel tulip.
A - A rigorous pour yields a finger and a half of offwhite head that dissipates pretty quickly. The color is deep amber to brown. Not very pale. Slightly hazy.
S - Smells of fresh pine cones. This is a very hop-forward ale that smells like a tradition.
T - Taste follows the nose. Very piney and resinous but also sweet. The malt bill provides a nice sweet balance for the bitter hops.
M - Medium bodied for the style. Carbonation is just right.
O - There is a good reason this is Christian Moerlein's flagship ale. As I said with the smells, the beer seems like a tradition. I think this beer would be more suitably classified under ESB. It is certainly not pale in appearance and in malt bill. In the end it is definitely a great choice from a hometown brewery.

thanks bamadawg!
pours a deep ruby and copper with a fluffy light creamy white head. great retention. some lacing.
very faint on the nose. light sweet bread, light earthy hops.
a great balance between the hops and the malts. lots of deep malt character with an equal amount of pine and earthy hops. more sweet malts up front and bitterness in the finish.
very full bodied, this is quite malty. moderate carbonation.
pretty easy to drink, it is a pale ale. nothing really ground breaking but a solid APA all around. i would not say no if i stumbled upon this again.

I picked up and split with my brother a 6 of this the weekend after it was released, and now I'm wishing I'd gotten another 6. Not quite as hoppy, but a little maltier and considerably darker than I imagined it would be, it's probably my new favorite pale ale. A nice addition to the Christian Moerlein line.

12 ounce bottle, bought from Belmont Party Supply, Dayton, OH. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours an amber/copper color with a thick one inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both very good. A nice aroma, mostly grassy/floral hops with a bit of caramel and sweet malt. It tastes the same way to me, but there's more of a balance between the hops and malt in the taste (not that I'm complaining). Good, full flavor. Mouthfeel is full, rich and smooth. Drinkability is pretty good too, it's very easy to drink and would be a great session beer. This is definitely one of the best beers I've had lately. If you're looking for a good, drinkable APA with good balance, Christian Moerlein's Over-The-Rhine Ale is a great choice.

said Monday in Piermont that New York State is now closer to replacing the current Tappan Zee Bridge with a .
The governor's announcement came hours after a unanimous vote by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) to officially incorporate the project into the council's plan.
"Today we are one step closer to building a new, safer bridge that will revitalize the Hudson Valley by creating thousands of jobs," Cuomo said at the 1 p.m. gathering in Flywheel Park.
More than 100 residents and local, state and federal lawmakers gathered downtown, overlooking the Tappan Zee Bridge to the north and local marinas.
After a brief speech, Cuomo signed a letter to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, applying for billions of dollars in TIFIA federal loans to help finance the new span.
"The next step is going to Washington to get funding, so we can build the bridge and make tolls affordable," Cuomo said. "After over a decade of delay caused by political dysfunction, this letter demonstrates that we are making real progress towards constructing a stronger, transit ready bridge."
When asked what financing would be in place should the state be declined federal funds, Cuomo was terse.
"I'm an optimist," he said. "They're going to say yes."
Cuomo noted the importance of mass transit, a component local residents and officials .
"The future of transit isn't people getting into cars and driving," Cuomo said. "It's mass transit. Period."
The new span is during rush hour.
The governor the in 2017 as excessive, but did not cite a specific figure that he would like to see—he only advocated a decrease.
Cuomo said the sluggish push to build a new bridge over the past 13 years has been time—and taxpayer money—squandered.
"We decided to waste millions," he said. "We decided to put people through traffic and congestion and pollution. It was a failure of leadership, a failure of government."
NYMTC member and Rockland County executive C. Scott Vanderhoef voted alongside others this morning. Late last week, Vanderhoef and lawmakers from Westchester and Putnam counties
Vanderhoef said he is pleased to support the project on the heels of Cuomo's assurances that the new bridge is to include mass transit capabilities.
"The governor should be given great credit for making it transit compatible," Vanderhoef said. "I am very pleased to be supportive."
Vanderhoef also said the federal government should assist New York with the financing of the new bridge connecting Westchester and Rockland.
"This new bridge will be safer for our drivers and built to last, and include a dedicated bus lane on day one," said assemblyman Ellen Jaffee, D-Suffern. "It will be a major economic driver for communities across the region, creating approximately 45,000 jobs."
Cuomo said the state expects to hear back about federal funding in the coming months.

6th ranked Cougars remain unbeaten
The sixth-ranked Western Nebraska Community College women's basketball put five players in double figures and remained undefeated with a 90-41 win over Hastings College junior varsity in the second day of the Holiday Classic on Friday at Cougar Palace.
The Cougars controlled the game from the get-go with a strong start. Laurin Rivera, a freshman from Colorado Springs, Colo., said this team has a knack to start strong.
"We are all ready to play in every game so that is good," she said. "We just come out strong and don't focus on what the other team is; we just come out strong in every game and that is what gets us the lead."
The Cougars scored the first 21 points of the contest with a tenacious defense that had three steals and two 3-pointers from Shalisa Moffit and Jess Samorodova. Hastings' first bucket didn't come until six minutes was gone as Abby Jackson picked the pocket of Gritt Ryder for the easy score.
WNCC came right back and scored 14 straight points, including back-to-back buckets by Rivera to go up 35-2 before leading 43-8 at halftime.
The big reason for the Cougars strong their ability to take the ball to the hole and that is what they did a night after they connected on 12 3-pointers against Colby on Thursday. The Cougars connected on just 6 of 11 treys in Friday's contest as Shalisa Moffit had three.
Rivera said this team can score from anywhere on the court.
"This game was definitely a driving to the basket game," she said. "We can definitely do both like shoot from outside and drive inside. Tonight, we just played really well together and I am excited that we have a victory."
Hastings started the second half by connecting on two 3-pointers by Rachel Walton and Jackson, but the Cougars depth was too much for Hastings as WNCC went up 57-15 and then used a late run15-6 run to open up an 80-32 lead that was aided by 3-pointers by Rivera and Kelsey Doddridge and four points from Katie Kerkhoff.
The Cougars blistered the nets for 62 percent shooting compared to 25 percent for Hastings. Once again, the Cougars shared the ball on the court, dishing out 29 assists and getting 24 steals. Rivera paced the team with eight assists while getting four steals. Mikayla Brower, Gritt Ryder, and Moffit all had four assists. Ryder and Maurissa Ortega led the team with five steals each.
The Cougars offensive output was enormous with five players in double figures while the Cougar bench outscored Hastings 43-9.
Samorodova and Ryder paced the team with 14 points each followed by Rivera's 11 points, and Ortega and Jessica Aratani each with 10 points.
WNCC, 13-0, will wrap up the Holiday Classic as they face Air Force Prep at 3 p.m. at Cougar Palace. Air Force Prep came back from a 12-point second-half deficit to sting Colby Community College 61-58 on a last-second shot. The first game on Saturday has Colby facing Hastings at 1 p.m.

Beautiful House & Location!
The house is exactly as described, and the price is very reasonable. Debbie, the owner, is extremely solicitous and a pleasure to deal with. The house is large and comfortable. This house faces east on Isle la Motte, so there are beautiful sunrise views. The side deck and yard are great in the afternoon to enjoy a drink and a good book while the kids play. The beach is secluded. There are food markets and ice cream shops in close proximity, as well as the state park. For the runners out there, the road on which the house sits is awesome for a morning run along the shore. We took two families (6 kids) up last year and will be returning this summer.

The Internet is a good resource of information for kids and adults alike. It can be a helpful tool for students when researching for school reports and assignments. get in touch with fellow students and their teachers and even play interactive games. Gone were the days when students need to spend hours and hours at the library to work on a research paper. In fact, encyclopedias have somehow become obsolete nowadays. Using a computer or even a handheld gadget, one can easily access the information he needs. With the help of wi-ex boosters, he can even surf and search websites faster.
While the Internet proves to be a good aid for learning for our kids, it poses as a threat too. They can be unknowingly redirected to websites that contain pornographic materials or meet unscrupulous persons online. Thus, as parents, we should be watchful of our kids Internet activities and be aware of who they meet and what they share about themselves online. It is important that we discuss with them the issues and threats that they might encounter. They should be able to understand that while the Internet is a fun and educational place for kids, it can also cause harm on them and the family if they are not careful.

- Comments and insights on the name Brooke: | Edit
Please for the love of God don't name your kid Brooke if your last name starts with a "K" or a hard "C." My first and last name mush together and I have to drop the -ke when I pronounce my full name. I have to say my name at least three times before people understand it.
I am Brooke Ann and I always loved my name. I have only met a couple other Brooke's in my lifetime. I was born in 1980. I have met a male Brooke once. I only let special people call me "Brookie" because I hate it most of the time. I don't know why people want to leave the 'e' off the end because I have never met a Brooke spelled Brook. All the people named Brooke that I have met are pretty outgoing, social people and opinionated. Look at the response for our name compared to other names... We like to share information and our experiences.
I am Brooke Erin. I was born in 1970 and lived in a small town and I was the only person with the name Brooke and I have a brother Brock Evan. when I was in Jr High and High school I hated having a different name, I wanted a name like all the other girls but after high school I liked having a different name, usually didnt have to use my last name, they just knew me. I sent a letter to Brooke Shields and got a post card back " to Brooke From Brooke", I still have it!
My family called me Brookie; my employees I have called me Brookie, and it still cracks me up because my grandmother calls me that too.
I am Brooke Erin too!! But I was born in 1983. My mom called me Brookie Cookie too, but it was definitely only reserved for her.
It's my name, so I am totally biased. I've grown to love it, though as a child I wanted a more common name. My last name is one syllable, and it always bothered me that my name was only 2 syllables long. My middle name is Elizabeth, but people rarely use middle names.
Ditto... it's my name and my last name is one syllable and that ALWAYS bothered me. And you're right... as I've gotten older, I have learned to love it. I was born in '78 and it was pretty rare then.
I was born in '91, and I've only met two other people named Brooke. People always misspell my name as Brook instead of Brooke, which is annoying. And only a few times they thought it was Brooks. I also have a one syllable last name which makes it very difficult when telling people my name. I like my name and I can't picture me with any other.
My name was Brooke Ingram, I have always loved my name. I am now Brooke Boyd. Sometimes people do want to spell it without an E and that annoys me but I still love my name. I wouldn't change my name for anything.
My name is Brooke Lynn & I love it now. I was born in 87 & I did not meet or hear of another black Brooke until I went to high school. As a little girl I hated the name Brooke. I thought it was boring & most adults always thought my name was Brittany because they had never seen a black Brooke. Even when I went to a prodominantly white high school if there was another student in the class with a more unusual or creative sounding name they always thought that was me & would call the white girl Brooke. But by college I was totally in love with my name because it was different & kind of cool when you say the first and middle as a double name. However, my mother says naming me Brooklyn was not an option lol.
My name is also Brooke Nicole and my last name happens to be Jorgenson. So yes ppl always kind of laughed at my initials but I was ok with it. In fact my brothers and I have a running joke with it because my younger brother, Blake, has the same initials. What possessed my parents to name two kids BJ?! I do not know. My name was also "made fun of" in middle school, they called me Brooke Trout(the mn equivilent of Brooklynn Bridge????!!!) but little did my classmates know, that name hardly phased me. In fact it kind of fit me. I love the outdoors and animals are my passion so I was ok with being compared to a fish. My 7th grade geography teacher called me River, didnt mind that either. My dad still sometimes calls me Brookester and my friends usually call me Brooker or Brookah (dont ask). Over all Im pretty ok with my nicknames, but call me Brookie and Ill probaby punch you in the face!
My daughter's name is Brooke Eden, Brooke after Brooke Davis my favorite character from my favorite tv show ever one tree hill played by Sophia bush. Eden after the gsrden of eden. her auntie Jessie started calling her brookie cookie the day we came home from the hospital since then her nicknames list is getting longer by the day lol the brookster, brookie monster, Brooklyn bridge, you get the idea. I love the fact that brooke is a name common enough to find personalized items like the bicycle license plate yet different enough where you don't have 5 of them in your kids elementary school. and ive noticed all brookes are beautiful
- Personal experiences with the name Brooke: | Edit
My middle name is Brooke, but it is the name I go by. I really like my name but a common thing to happen is that people will spell it Brook. And I say no, there's and e. Like Brooke with an e. And they say it is like Anne with an e.
I named my daughter Brooke. She was born in 1980 and back then it wasn't a common name. People used to ask me if it was an old family name and comment on how well they liked it.
My first name is Brooke and many people my age and yonger (I'm 16) seem to have it as a middle name.
My middle name is Brooke and it has always been the name that I have gone by also. Brooke has been a family name that has been used for both males and females for many, many years. I was born in 1950 and no one had ever heard the name before. I used to be called "river", "creek" or even Brookie which I hated. It wasn't until Brooke Shields came along that the name started to catch on and increase in popularity. My granddaughter is Madison Brooke. I have a male cousin by the name of Brooke and another cousin's daughter is named Brooke. I was actually named after one of my aunts who was Eleanor Brooke. Many people have remarked over the years about what a beautiful name it is. I came to appreciate it so much more when I became an adult.
My name is Brooke Nicole Johnson and in elementary school people made fun of me by calling me Brooklyn Bridge. In high school I got made fun of for my initials BJ and my last name Johnson, but not 'cause my name was Brooke. I've never had a problem with my name. I think it is a nice name. EVERYONE misspells it, by spelling it without the E. Now my name is Brooke Kane and like the others I don't like that my name is now only two syllables all together. But I mean overall it is a common enough name that people aren't confused by your name, but not so common that you have two other friends with the name. I have only met a few other Brooke's in my life.
- Nicknames for Brooke: | Edit
My friends like to call me Bro, or Brookie. One of my friends calls me Brookie Cookie. My mom used to call me cupcake, lol.
That's funny because I used to call my daughter Brookie Cookie too. She got Brooklyn lots at school. I think it's a beautiful name!
All my close friends and family know that if they want to get me PO'ed they call me Brookie...and if they really want to see me get mad...they will call me Brookie Cookie! I guess people aren't that original!! haha
My name is Brooke and my middle name is really Lynn. People at school always call me Brookelynn, even if they don't know its my middle name. I've also been called Brookie Cookie by parents and classmates.
My name is Crystal Brooke, but I have always gone by my middle name. My parents wanted to call me Brooke, but said they had a hard time finding a middle name that went well with it, so they just used it as my middle name. I have always been called Brookie or Brookie Boo. I'm 28 and still go by these nicknames. Every now and then someone insists on calling me Brooks.
My friends used to call me Brookie Cookie too! Other nicknames, Rook, Rookie, Brooklyn, Brookie Poo (thanks mom), and my 1st grade class calls me Ms. Brookie!
The most common on the people call me is Brookie, my dad called me Brookie Brookes when I was little, but pretty much people just call me Brooke.
- Meanings and history of the name Brooke: | Edit
The name came into more common use in the 1950s, probably influenced by American socialite Brooke Astor (1902-2007).

Every once in a while, you get thrown a slow pitch you can really hit out of the park. Such opportunities are rare, but when they come, it is incumbent upon all of us to swing hard and hit that ball over the horizon.
Over the past few columns, I've tried to push all of us to seriously consider our own responsibility for the transformation of our city and our county. I've tried to show how transformation happens when ordinary people live their ordinary lives. I've tried to cast a vision for ways that we could all be a part of making Warren great again, not by going back, but by moving forward.
And then, the slow pitch comes. Recently, while perusing Facebook, I discovered that Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership is in the running to win $10,000 from Tom's of Maine's 50 States of Good initiative. By simply voting online everyday, an organization that is doing a whole lot of good in our city, and our region could get a boost in its efforts at revitalization. What's so great about this contest is that you simply have to have enough votes to be in the top 15 non-profits to win.
If we were smart, we would all make it a point to log on to the Tom's of Maine website daily and cast a vote for this exceedingly great organization. We'd write it on our calendars, and set alarms on our phones, and put post-it notes on every hard surface to remind ourselves to do everything within our power to make sure that Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership doesn't just win the money, but gets more votes than any other organization in the country.
But I've been familiar with Warren long enough to know that this will not be the case. It's not that we lack intelligence or the resources; it's just that we don't care. We just aren't motivated.
We gave ourselves over to apathy a long time ago, resigned ourselves to low standards and expectations, and that's why we're in the situation we're in. So, if Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership does win a prize, we'll win by being in fifth or sixth place, instead of first. Because we've given up expecting more for ourselves, we just don't think we're worth first place.
This, friends, is the very poison of 'Stuck in Ohio' thinking. Instead of taking responsibility for our own actions or inactions, we pass the blame to "them," whoever "they" are - civic leaders, politicians, the government, your annoying neighbor, whoever.
But if we were to choose to take our responsibilities of citizenship and stewardship seriously, voting in an online contest would be the easiest of our many efforts to making our city a better place. Getting on Facebook-which many of us do on a daily basis anyway-to find the 50 States of Good page would be the simplest part of our routine of working for a revitalized Warren.
Friends: look closely and you'll see a pitch that you could hit with your eyes closed, even if you, like me, have little coordination. Let this be the beginning of a routine in which you do everything you can to serve our city and to revitalize our region.
Tennant is a Warren resident.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Tuesday afternoon after Yu Darvish's outing, a lot of people talked about the second spring-training start in his nascent Major League Baseball career. Yu Darvish talked. Yu Darvish's interpreter talked. Yu Darvish's manager. Yu Darvish's bullpen coach talked. But it fell to Yu Darvish's catcher to say nearly everything worth saying ...
He was a little wild with his fastball.
He's human. Believe it or not, he's human.
Thank you, Yorvit Torrealba. All the rest of the talk was just so many colored bubbles, floating slowly away in the destitute Arizona sky.
Tuesday afternoon, Darvish couldn't control his fastball in the bullpen before his start against the Cleveland Indians. And he never really did harness his four-seam fastball. He threw as hard as always, but he just couldn't throw that pitch where he wanted. His slider, his splitter, his slow curveball ... according to bullpen coach Andy Hawkins, all those other pitches "were as sharp as they could be."
His four-seam fastball, though, was dull, and so he walked the first two Indians he faced, both on five pitches. Both were thrown out trying to steal by Torrealba, and Darvish escaped the inning by striking out Shin-Soo Choo on a slider. He cruised through the second with little trouble and a couple more strikeouts. The third inning didn't go so well. First Jack Hannahan doubled, and then Darvish walked Tofu Lou Marson on four pitches and Michael Brantley on five.
After a run-scoring single, Darvish did get a double play and a long fly ball to end the inning. That was enough, though. His day was through, and it stood in stark contrast to his spring debut.
Darvish has so many pitches that he probably could have junked his four-seam fastball completely, and done perfectly well with his other five or six offerings. But this is spring training, and while Darvish (through his interpreter) would later say he didn't have "a specific plan" for his first two outings -- including this one -- you have to think that establishing his fastest fastball was somewhere in the back of his mind, considering he is fundamentally a 25-year-old power pitcher.
This time it just didn't work out, over the course of three innings and 62 pitches. Give him two or three more innings and another 50 pitches, and everything might have turned out just fine. Or might not have. He's human.
He's also, in case you haven't heard, one of the most interesting baseball players on this side of the Pacific. Yes, he throws all those pitches. At least until he hits a little rough patch and someone tells him to whittle his repertoire down to just four or five offerings instead of six or seven. In both of his spring-training starts, he's pitched exclusively from the stretch ... and oddly enough, nobody seems to know when he's going to stop doing that.
Darvish's post-outing press conference was attended by something like 60 writers and photographers, most of them Japanese. Unlike his last post-outing press conference, which actually resulted in a small controversy, this time Darvish said very little of interest. Or perhaps he said something of interest, and his translator translated the interestingness out of it.
There was one thing, though ... One reporter asked Darvish if he's been surprised by anything since joining the Texas Rangers this winter. His response, as translated (and hazily recalled by me):
One thing I noticed was how much our players practice. That was a surprise to me.
American players, of course, have a reputation for hardly practicing at all. An infielder makes a mistake, and you can count on some old-timer in the press box lamenting the death of pre-game infield practice and, worse, the fundamentals. Meanwhile, Japanese players are famous for their dawn-to-dusk practice sessions. With, I suspect, good reason.
But please don't let anyone fool you. American and National Leaguers work plenty hard at their jobs. Yes, they're the biggest and fastest and strongest baseball players you're going to find on the earth. But only someone who's not paying attention would question the work ethic of Major League Baseball's players, as a group. Yes, they are blessed with great physical abilities. That should go without saying. But being born with good baseball genes isn't nearly enough for most of them. They practice, and they practice, and they practice some more. If they didn't, most of them, they wouldn't be where they are.

Team # 692 -- DUS Learning Outcomes Assessment Team
Undergraduate Education
February 2006
ObjectiveWe have established a team within the advising staff of DUS, that is working on Learning Outcomes Assessment for students enrolled in DUS.
We created the team to better define the educational objectives and learning outcomes of the enrollment program of DUS, to assess how well students meet the learning outcomes of DUS enrollment, and to identify any current teaching strategies that may need improvement.
To date, we have worked to refine our unit's values, vision and mission statements, our educational objectives, and our anticipated learning outcomes. Two team members attended a national conference on academic advising assessment, to gain further insight into this work. We are in the process of mapping the learning outcomes to our strategies, so that we can begin to develop the specific assessment tools we will use to measure the outcomes. We hope to implement some measures during the upcoming academic year.

ROSSVILLE — Theressa Isaacs, 96, of Rossville, died Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, at Milner's Community Healthcare in Rossville.
She was born Dec. 17, 1915, in Camden, the daughter of Truman Charles and Jesse Leone Kirkpatrick Beougher. Theressa grew up in Flora then moved to Logansport for the majority of her life. She returned to Flora before moving to Rossville. She graduated from Camden High School in 1933. On Aug. 15, 1936, she married Dale Lee Isaacs, Sr.; he preceded her in death on June 2, 1980.
Theressa worked at Long Cliff Hospital during World War II; she retired from Elco Industries in the 1980s. She also traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe, as well as trips to China and Australia. Church was very important to Theressa. She was an active member of Ninth Street Christian Church for over 50 years and more recently active in Flora Christian Church.
Surviving Theressa are two children, Dale Lee (wife, Linda) Issacs, Jr., of San Angelo, Texas, and Theressa E. (husband, Delton) Propes, Tulsa, Okla.; two sisters, Doris Sink, of Marion, and Joan (husband, Pete) Jackson, of Flora; one brother, Donald Beougher, of Logansport; six grandchildren, Kenlyn Pinney, Jonathan Isaacs, Brett Propes, Steven Isaacs, Heather Jones, and Amber Coddington; and 14 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, she is preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, George Beougher and Willis Beougher.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Genda Funeral Home-Reinke Chapel in Flora.
Funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at the funeral home with the Rev. Woody Slade officiating. Burial will follow in Maple Lawn Cemetery in Flora.

Ihear the same remark all over Sacramento whenever the issue of homelessness comes up.
"Well, those people have to go somewhere."
What a cop-out.
It's easy to sound sympathetically ignorant when the problem is not on your front stoop. But when it is, there isn't much Sacramento "leaders" will do for you.
I'm talking about a forgotten constituency with few friends in the state Capitol: small-business owners.
Given that Sacramento has a depressed tax base, you would think this constituency would be valued because local taxes bankroll city services.
Instead, most members of the Sacramento City Council are pushing the idea of a half-cent sales tax increase to pump up services a prime example of how priorities in Sacramento are completely out of balance.
I'm going to bring you the stories of businesses blighted by crime and vagrancy downtown, in the River District, North Sacramento and beyond.
Today, we start with the unfortunates trying to run businesses near Loaves & Fishes, Sacramento's largest homeless charity.
Business owners there say crime including stabbings, assault and vandalism is common on North C Street. On Aug. 8, Michael Garduno, president of XRay Engineering, spotted a woman scrawling graffiti across the street and began photographing her.
According to Garduno, when the woman spotted him, she crossed the street and tried to scrawl on him with her chalk. "She marked up my face and said (expletive) you!" Garduno said. "She said she would have sex with me for $25."
Garduno said police took his information and told him he would hear from the District Attorney's Office.
He's still waiting. Garduno also wrote a note to Councilman Steve Cohn, who replied with many words that said nothing.
Jo Gerlinger, owner of Gerlinger Steel and Supply Co., said her business is routinely burglarized and its metal is stolen by scavengers who then take it to be recycled. "We have work crews that come in at 2 a.m. and it's not safe for them," Gerlinger said.
Randall Heller, who has worked at Pacific Flooring Supply since the early 1970s, said: "When Loaves & Fishes first opened is when we started having serious issues."
Many don't want to hear this or ignore it, but Loaves & Fishes is a magnet for people causing great harm in Sacramento.
The charity has grown so large that it's a staging ground for mayhem on North C Street, on the American River Parkway and elsewhere.
Loaves & Fishes has no end of supporters, but who supports the people being harmed by its operation?
When I ask the question, I get the same cop-out: "Those people have to go somewhere."
We've reached a tipping point in Sacramento. It's a lost city when you enable those causing harm and ignore those being harmed.

Guest Star: "Ayo Rick Ross -- C'mon Out And Pop These N*ggas Over The Head"
Thursday, Aug 18, 2011 1:20PM
[With two decades of experience under his belt, Kurupt has shared stage time with many influential artists. Today the rapper/executive producer reflects on how he helped introduce a burgeoning, would-be rap mogul to a crowd of thousands.]
I'mma tell you the real: The last CD that I personally bought was Rick Ross' Teflon Don.
You cottd*mn skippy -- Teflon Don was the last physical CD I went to Best Buy like, "I gotta get this," and ran in the store to buy that muthaf*cka."
Ricky Ross is not playin'. That's my n*gga.
I remember a show that me and Daz had a show (this was back when Daz workin' with Jermaine Dupri and So So Def out in Atlanta. The show was set up to promote Daz's album at the time.
When me and Daz went out and performed our original gangsta sh*t, the older crowd was lovin' it -- but the young South crowd that wasn't around for [Tha Dogg Pound era] didn't recognize the music and they wanted something new.
Me and Daz just looked at each other and was like, "Ok. We got somethin' for you young muthaf*ckas. Ayo [Rick] Ross-- c'mon out and pop these n*ggas over the head."
Me and Daz brought Ross out to do "Hustlin'". At that time it was a fresh record, it had just come out Rick Ross started performing and the whole arena went wild.
We've been f*ckin' with Ross since the beginning, so it's nothing new to us that he's as successful as he is today.
Check out the Kurupt track "Samaryda" featuring Kojoe and Raekwon

iPhone: The $1,975 iPod
Apple's and AT&T's high-price gadget is a heartbreaking triumph of greed over genius
Every living thing knows about iPhone. Apple and AT&T saw to that in their unprecedented campaign to prime demand for a mobile device that has been dubbed "revolutionary" and "game changing." After nine days doing nothing but living, breathing, and dissecting a 4GB iPhone, I am captivated by it. I'd challenge any gadget hound to find a more satisfying, status-elevating way to blow half a grand.
iPhone is good enough as a phone, a PDA, a media player, and a mobile browser to hit the sweet spot of those consumers who can afford the device, along with activation and monthly service fees. So, I say it again: If it's a gadget you're after, you're looking at a $499 wide-screen iPod with oodles of extras. If that's the perspective you bring to your consideration of iPhone, you have the right one. Declare yourself an early birthday.
[See also: iPhone delivers more misses than hits | Special report: iPhone: The revolution is here ]
Now it's time for consumers and gadget freaks to tune out because the rest of this review is aimed at those who rely on mobile devices as their lifeline to customers, clients, patients, management, team members, field staff, or hosted data and services. If that's you, understand that I know you came here because you want an iPhone. Apple went to great lengths to tick the feature table boxes that make the device look like everything a professional could want in a mobile device: cell phone, PDA, e-mail, Internet client, and media player.
iPhone fulfills the media player role well — although surprisingly not as well in some regards as a less costly iPod and not leagues better than a smartphone. It fulfills its secondary role, PDA, about as well as a BlackBerry. For phone, mobile messaging, and Internet access, iPhone will get you worked up but let you down once you get to needing it.
The unhappy fact is that for all the glamorous marketing and positioning, iPhone turns out to be the worst $1,975 investment (iPhone plus two years minimum, mandatory service) you could make in mobile communications. If you put that kind of money into a BlackBerry, Treo, Windows Mobile, or Symbian device, you will be blown away by what a genuine professional mobile handset can do for you, out of the box, through incremental improvement by the manufacturer and wireless operator, and extension by downloadable third-party software.
If the iPhone circus opened your eyes to the possibilities offered by high-end mobile devices, that's a good thing. Read this review, realize that what iPhone does is done well by other devices, too, and understand that iPhone's limitations with regard to professional use aren't present in competing devices, even those sold by AT&T.

Flood insurance: MPs response
Wakefield MP Mary Creagh has responded to the announcement of a new deal on flood insurance with insurers.
– Mary Creagh MP, Labour's Shadow Environment Secretary,
People in areas of high flood risk are being hit now with higher insurance premiums and excesses because incompetent Ministers have failed over the last three years to get a deal with the insurance industry. The process announced today is fraught with difficulties and may not be completed by the time of the next election. The Government's proposals raise serious questions about how much all householders will pay into the Flood Re scheme, the affordability of flood insurance and who picks up the bill in the event of a catastrophic flood.

ProChips Polos came in! by ProChips - over 1 year ago
"Hey all, We're two college buddies living in NYC. We recently quit our Finance jobs to start a company dedicated to healthy snack foods. We recently received these Polos to help our branding and love them! We also received some tank tops with our product's bag on the back and they look great. Our first product is called ProChips, a protein-packed chip that is perfect before or after the gym, at lunch, or during that 4 PM window at the office when everyone gets hungry. With 15 grams of protein per bag, along with only 130 calories and 2 grams of fat, what's not to love? Please "like" us on Facebook at facebook.com/ProChips and follow us on Twitter at @Pro_Chips Also feel free to email us at email@example.com"

One person is injured after an explosion at the new Sanford clinic in Moorhead.
The propane blast caused extensive interior damage near the lobby and some structural.
The clinic was set to open March 3rd - in one just week.
A spokesperson for the clinic says now he isn't sure when it will open to the public - weeks, months, he wouldn't say.
Just after 1 this afternoon crews responded to the new medical facility - just off of I-94.
Tory Jacobson, with the Moorhead Police Department confirms that one person was injured - but not seriously.
Jeff Hoss with Sanford, denied that accusation saying there were no injuries.
The blast caused damages in the lobby waiting area
The explosion was limited to a very small area adjacent to the elevator shaft. There is a secondary shaft that is covered in case of growth or expansion in the future and that's where the explosion came from.
No damage estimates are being released at this time.
We're waiting for a call back from the Fire Marshall - as to the cause of the explosion.
