@ Closed for Business
Served a foggy pale yellow color. A small, wispy white head sits on top and leaves a few strings of lacing behind. Aromas of soft wheat and a slight lemon sweetness. Peppery, noble-like hops, wheat, cereal grain, and a vague citrus element in the flavor. Crisp with a slight bitterness. Simple and refreshing...a decidedly not hoppy attempt of a fairly loose style.

On tap at Closed for Business.
A: Pours a clear golden/orange color/ A two finger white head forms with good retention. Plenty of lace is left behind.
S: Musky, husky wheat in the nose. Peppery, herbal spice and a light bitterness lingers.
T: Fairly simple here. The musky wheat flavor, peppery spice. Cracker and grainy like malts and a linger bitterness.
M/D: A light to medium body. Moderate carbonation, that is a bit on the water side for me. Still, I can drink a lot of this. Easy and enjoyable.
A simple wheat, with a bit of a hoppy finish. Very enjoyable. Though nothing that will particularly stand out from the crowd.

growler into a hefe glass
A: Pour is a crystal clear, very pale straw yellow with a billowing almost 3 fingers width of bright white head that leaves a few small patches of lacing.
S: Wheat, some hoppy spice, hay, herbaceous, lemon and orange citrusy notes. Surprisingly aromatic for the style.
T: Follows the nose, with hop spice and a big wheat character being the first flavors I notice. There are some sweeter notes, a surprising amount of bitterness, lemony citrus. Full flavor for the style.
M/D: Medium body, moderate carbonation which is lower than many in the style, drinkability is good.
O: Overall, a very nice example of a style that is generally rather blah. Along with Lil Sumpin Sumpin, probably the only other American Pale Wheat worth drinking. Nice on this hot Charleston day, when on the way to the brewery my car was reading 102 degrees!

A: Poured from a bottle to a weizen glass. Had a pale yellow color and a hazy texture. There was a big, creamy, fairly long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A pretty strong wheat element in the aroma, along with some citrus as well.
T: Tasted of wheat (though more mildly than I expected), a bit of malt, and some lemon in the finish. American Pale Wheat Ales are rarely that flavorful or complex, but this one has a crisp, likeable taste.
M: A good amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Light-bodied.
O: COAST has brewed a good beer in a weak style. It's solid and easy to drink.

Has on tap into taster at the brewery.
Pours a golden hazy hue...
Smells of wheat, malts, and slight hops and citrus.
Taste is of wheaty malty hops. Very malty and full of grassy notes, but crisp and clean. Very easy drinker, and a very good wheat. This, in my opinion, is a beer of necessity...its god awful hot in Charleston, and only this brew could cure heat like that. Its very good, refreshing, and full of nice flavor.

Served from tap into a Bell's stemmed tulip. Poured a hazy very pale yellow with a one finger pure white head that subsided half a finger slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, wheat, subtle citrus hop, banana, grain, and fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, wheat, banana, fruit, and grain. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a decent brew. The aroma on this one was definitely one of the top from the style I've smelled in a long time. Lots of complexity and very well balanced. This had me quite excited to try it, but the flavor just fell a little short. This was a little disheartening, but I continued on anyways. The more I had the more it started to grow on me. While I wish some of the citrus notes would have showed up in the flavor I don't see them as being absolutely necessary to make this brew work. A good brew without a doubt, but could definitely be improved upon in the future.

very hazy and cloudy amber color, somewhat tinted yellow but actually a decent orange color surounding it. A small white head formed on the top maybe one finger high
Lots of light wheat aromas coming off of this one. thee is a definite hint of hops in there as well with a light lemon sort of smell sitting around in the back. Light grass and some yeast aromas as well. grain in this one with a good deal of wheat coming through. Finish is very dry with a nice bitter hoppy finish and a long drawn out flavor of bitter tangerine like.

Growler filled at CBX, poured into a Weizen Glass.
Pours a hazy gold with a creamy white head that fades to a thin cap. I doubt there's anything prettier then a Wheat Beer in a Weizen glad, and this easily proves my point. Aromas of crisp wheat, lemon juice, orange peel, and sweet malt are so clean and fresh smelling, it's amazing. Taste is right in line with the nose, but with a biting grassy bitterness in the finish that gives this usually Plain-Jane style a bit of extra character. Mouthfeel is smooth, crisp, and a bit creamy, with a medium body and pleasant carbonation. Overall another winner from COAST, perfect for these balmy late-Summer lowcountry days!

Growler poured into a weizen glass, and a handsome pour it is. Glowing hazy straw with a 3-finger bright white head that slowly recedes into a hill of foam and then a thick skim. Soapy lacing all over.
Fresh aromas of biscuity malt, lemon zest, fresh cut hay and grass. Lotsa flavor packed into this guy. Dry throughout the swallow, and exceedingly so in the finish, really showcasing the bitterness and grassiness of the hops. Nice lemony bite of wheat as well. Extremely clean, focused, and delicious. Only the fluffy carbonation keeps me from guzzling this stuff. Another winner from a brewery from the folks at COAST. Outstanding for (and regardless of) the style.

Cool 32oz medicine bottle growler courtesy of the always generous jpmclaug. Big thanks for this one Jason! Poured into a Paulaner wheat beer glass.
A - Pours a wonderfully hazy pale straw golden color with two fingers of pillowy white foam that leaves some foamy lacing on the glass, all the way to the bottom of the glass.
S - Grassy hops, some sharp bitterness, wheat, a touch of wet hay and a hint of malty sweetness. Pretty straight forward, but gives an indication that this is a good after work, after lawnmowing relaxer on the deck...which is just what it is going to be.
T - Dominantly bitter! Grassy hops are assertive up front and deliver a strong bitterness on first sip. Behind that is a distinctive wheatiness, cereal grainy, dry and crisp. A little less bitterness would balance this off more, but nevertheless, I'm enjoying this hoppy wheat beer quite a bit.
M - Solid carbonation over a slightly lighter than medium body. Hop bitterness thruout from start to well past the finish.
O - Solid take on the style...if you like your American style wheat beers hoppy, this is definitely for you! Technically this is probably out of balance well towards the hop side, but it still works well. Some more balance would really make this outstanding, but it is a minor critique on this beer.

A slight man in a white shirt stood before a row of tanks, and the world watched in awe.
That was 25 years ago this past week in Tiananmen Square, in Beijing, China. His defiant act came after the military had opened fire on thousands of pro-democracy protesters, many of them students, who had taken over the square for weeks.
The violent crackdown became known as the Tiananmen Square massacre — by some estimates, more than 1,000 were killed — and the man in front of the tank as Tank Man.
No one knows who he is. No one knows if he's still alive. Chinese leader Jiang Zermin, when asked if he knew what had happened to the man, once said, "I think never killed."
In the video you can see him facing the tank as if it were a bull. When the tank makes an attempt to go around him, he runs in front of it again.
At some point he climbs on top and talks — or attempts to talk — to whoever is behind that killing machine.
After what seems like an eternity, but it's in fact only a minute or so later, a man on a bicycle and two other people approach and haul him away.
People who've analyzed the footage say it is obvious he was taken away by friendly, concerned folks. Chinese security personnel would have been brutal.
In the 2006 PBS Frontline documentary Tank Man, some journalists and human-rights activists say it doesn't matter who he was. He stood for "everyman," his actions embodied the feelings of a whole generation of people who were tired of 40 years of Communism, corruption and scarcities.
Perhaps, but I'd like to know. After all, no one else rushed to stand with him. He may have stood for every man, but the fact is he stood alone.
Others have said that solitary act was so meaningful because it reminded us of the power of the individual before the state, but the opposite is true.
For a brief moment, he must have felt powerful and even fearless. But, in the end, the state prevailed.
Twenty-five years later, the Communist Party of China endures. In a piece in the Financial Times last year, writer Jamil Anderlini describes it this way: "Many dire predictions of imminent collapse have come and gone, but the party has endured and even thrived, especially since it opened its ranks to capitalists for the first time a decade ago.
"These days the revolutionary party of the proletariat is probably best described as the world's largest chamber of commerce, and membership is the best way for businesspeople to network and clinch lucrative contracts."
Yes, the people in China live better than they did 25 years ago (those in the cities do; the interior of the country is another story), and U.S. universities are full of Chinese students eager to get a U.S. degree to do even better at home.
Money matters, so does prestige. Ideology not so much. After decades of discipline, hardship and rhetoric, money is king — just like in the capitalist societies so demonized by Communists for so long.
But there is another way, as the world has witnessed in Eastern Europe, with the countries that were once in the orbit of the former Soviet Union.
In an eerie coincidence of political mirrors, on the same day of the Tiananmen massacre, Poland voted the communists out of power in a historic election that allowed the participation of the opposition party, Solidarity.
Though the election was rigged for the Communist Party to remain in power, Solidarity's win was so overwhelming that it paved the way for the end of Communism not only in that country, but also in the region.
Shortly after the election, economic measures were introduced and Poland moved firmly into the market-economy model. In December 1990, Solidarity's leader, Lech Walesa, became president of Poland as well as a symbol of perseverance and freedom for the whole world. That, too, endures.
In this case we know not only the name and face of the man who stood before the tank, so to speak, but also the name of those driving the tank — the Communist leaders who stepped aside. Transitions require two willing parties, those with the courage to act and those with the courage not to.
In Tiananmen Square, there were two heroes, both unknown to the world.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Rapper Admits Love For Taylor Swift, Tyga's Baby Mama Back In The Club, Nicki Minaj Gives Up Pop For Street Cred?
Monday, Nov 12, 2012 10:21AM
Moving Monday. We're moving all sorts of fast to get the week started, going with a rapper who is so in love with country star Taylor Swift that he had to let the entire world know. (It's not Kanye West, either). Speaking of love, could Tyga's baby's mother Blac Chyna already be back shaking her money maker just weeks after giving birth? And talking about going back to old desires, is Nicki Minaj giving up the pop checks for some more street credibility? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. Walk Hard
There's quite a few people that Taylor Swift loves in the hip-hop and urban world. There's 50 Cent, Eminem, T.I., Rihanna, Pink, you name it, but what about when the tables are turned? Are the rappers just as in love with Ms. Swift as she is to them? Well, in the case of a Boston rapper named Sammy Adams, this turns out to be true. The New York Post Page Six section has more:
Could Taylor Swift be wooed by another musician? Boston-born rapper Sammy Adams has remixed an ode to the country singer in a remix of Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." Adams released the song on Friday before his show at the Roseland Ballroom. Adams raps on the track about her "red lips so hard to miss" and proclaims Swift a "good girl gone bad/too much for a Kennedy." Adams met Swift, who has been dating Conor Kennedy, at an iHeartRadio concert in Las Vegas during the summer. Swift is currently promoting her new album, "Red," and has been in Europe this week, while Kennedy is back at school at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. (New York Post)
There's nothing wrong with a little crush, but the only thing that Sammy Adams might need to know is that it's going to take a lot more than 216,000 Twitter followers to get mentioned in a romance rumor with Taylor. Then again, if maybe he set his eyes on Jennifer Lopez, he'd have an easier chance? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Love In This Club
Is Blac Chyna really back to jumping on stripper poles and getting dollar bills thrown all over her body? Keep in mind, she just gave birth to Tyga's son just some weeks back, even Beyoncé took time off to be a mother. Media Take Out has the inside:
November 12, 2012: Tyga's babys moms Blac Chyna has been DYING to get back to the club. And now that she lost ENOUGH BABY WEIGHT . . . she's back to her old ways. This weekend he was in Miami - club hoppin at LIV!!! (Media Take Out)
Well, at least she wasn't half-naked and sliding up and down poles, as far as we can see. Who knows, maybe Chyna was meeting up with some girlfriends for a quick birthday party cameo? Otherwise, could Chyna really be back to her old ways shortly after bringing new life into the world? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. That Ol' Thing Back
Are the streets forcing Nicki Minaj to choose between them and the pop world? Some artists have managed to balance out both, like Jay-Z and Eminem. Sure, they might make a couple overly-friendly pop-sounding tracks, but you can always expect to hear something like dope lyricism or sick flows on other tracks. But is Nicki getting forced to choose sides? All Hip Hop Rumors has more:
I'm not sure how this is going to work out, because Nicki has gone so far in to the mainstream of America that she's pop as in popular. So, the latest rumor is that Nicki Minaj is looking to get back into the street side of Hip-Hop! Remember when she won everybody over with the BET Cypher? Yeah, she got gangsta with that! Anyway, what do you think that she is going to return to hardcore rap!? And do you think she can? Maybe she can link back up with Fendi or something. Sike. (All Hip Hop Rumors)
It's hard to think about Nicki giving up those pop checks just for a few extra head nods and the applause of the streets, but maybe the demand was just too high. She can spit, but it does feel like a while since we have heard some of those hard 16 bars we remember a couple years ago. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning scoop from your favorite gossip sites.

SANTA CRUZ, California (AP) — Two Santa Cruz police officers were shot and killed Tuesday while investigating a sexual assault, and a suspect was also fatally shot, authorities said.
The officers were shot around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak confirmed Tuesday evening that they had died.
The shooting in the community about 60 miles (100 kilometers) south of San Francisco took place as police were investigating a report of a sexual assault, Wowak said. A suspect fired, hitting the two officers.
A suspect was shot while police were in pursuit of the shooter, the sheriff said. Authorities said that person also died.
An Associated Press reporter in the area of one of the shootings heard more than a dozen gunshots.
Monterey County deputies, officers from nearby Capitola and Watsonville have been searching the surrounding area. At least three helicopters and one plane were circling the city, while heavily armed police went door-to-door.
Police had at least five blocks of the mostly residential area blocked, and two schools were locked down after the shooting. Students at the schools were taken by bus to a government county center, officials said.
Associated Press writer John S. Marshall in San Francisco contributed to this report.

Town Square
All solicitors ARE photographed
Original post made by Wayne on Dec 20, 2008
This could be something we all quietly can do to protect our neighborhoods, and share vital information with authorities.
I will also be placing a sign in my window that will state something to the effect "All solicitors are welcomed to be photographed in my neighborhood."
on Dec 20, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Smart move, Wayne! People know where to go to take advantage of others. At least, you might be able to provide some "evidence" for the police, if necessary.
on Dec 20, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Wouldn't not answering the door serve the same purpose? Can't case what you can't peek inside to see.
on Dec 20, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I think Wayne's photographing suggestion has to do with ultimately providing police with evidence to catch perpetrators, and eventually to deter these kind of people from targeting Pleasanton neighborhoods because their risk of being caught is substantially elevated. Not answering the door does not nothing toward this end.

Here's the first look at Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow's newest venture Zero Dark Thirty, a film dramatizing the Navy SEAL Team 6's hunt for Osama bin Laden. The trailer provides as much insight as an "On the next Mad Men" trailer, but knowing Bigelow and the skills she demonstrated directing The Hurt Locker, you can put money on Zero Dark Thirty being very, very tense.

<protocol> (ACAP) A protocol which enhances IMAP by allowing the user to set up address books, user options, and other data for universal access. Currently (Feb 1997) no Internet proprietary products have implemented ACAP because the Internet Engineering Task Force has not yet approved the final specification. This was expected early in 1997.

About the Initiative
For Auburn University to become the catalyst mobilizing universities across the nation and around the globe to make fighting hunger a core value of higher education institutions worldwide.
To create an academic hunger model suitable for replication or adaptation by universities in the US and abroad.
To develop and implement an action agenda for students and faculty that encompasses hunger awareness and consciousness-raising, fundraising, advocacy, and academic initiatives.
Why Auburn?
Located on the plains of east Alabama, Auburn University is one of the Souths premier land-grant institutions. With its global agricultural initiatives and leading-edge nutrition and food safety research, the university is playing a major role in feeding the world.
In addition, Auburn has enjoyed a special relationship with the United Nations since 1994 when the College of Human Sciences launched the International Quality of Life Awards in conjunction with the UNs International Year of the Family. The UN continues to remain the ceremonial home of the awards in spirit and in fact, where each year more than 300 people gather to honor global citizens whose good works and dedication to making the world a better place have contributed to the enhancement of human health and well-being.
The partnership with the UN World Food Programme is a continuation of Auburns ongoing mission to serve the world through outreach, instruction and research. More importantly, the opportunity for Auburn men and women to lead students around the world in the global War on Hunger reinforces the very essence of the universitys core value systemto produce technically competent graduates with progressive world views and a commitment to serving others.

Cole Hamels hit Bryce Harper with the first pitch of the at bat in the first inning of Sundays game in Washington. If I were a Phillies fan I'd have mixed feelings on this news. By hitting the batter, Cole put one of his own players in danger of retaliation while simultaneously taking away the inside pitch from both teams for the rest of the game. Sure, dugouts were not warned, but a retaliation certainly would have caused such an effect. However, the Phillies had lost the first two of that series and have learned the Nats are more than pretenders this season. Cole's effort was a good one last night and that kind of bravado is the kind of thing team can rally around. Of course, Bryce might have had the last laugh as he stole home later in the inning. Then came the real fun. Hamels in an interview said he intentionally threw at Harper. Cole said when he first came up, he had to deal with the Rookie strike zone and wanted to give Harper a little taste of big league ball. There has already been some back and forth with the response from the Nats front office basically calling Cole a hack. Should make for good tv in the rest of the season series. Either way, these are the kind of storylines that remind me why I love this game so much. "Posted as a fan shot cause that's what this kind of info is for, just hope someone sees it as FanShots are rarely ever seen"

Today's weather forecast: A Brief Respite
The windsor: Named after the Duke of Windsor, who famously abdicated the British throne, this wide knot is intended for cutaway and spread-collared shirts.
The half-windsor: Use this knot when you're pairing a fatter tie with a traditional straight collar.
The four-in-hand: The narrow knot makes this the perfect choice for casual skinny ties and button-down collars.
The bow tie: This is your only re-spec-table option with a tuxedo shirt. Bow ties also look great with straight or spread collars, but don't wear them with button-downs.

Nestled between the trees, just 35 miles from Youngstown, sits Moraine State Park's Lake Arthur, the site of Healthy Living Reporter Kate Keller's first ever stand up paddle board lesson.
"If you want to stay dry you primarily want to stay right over that center point," said Ian Smith owner of SurfSUP Adventures.
He didn't have to tell her twice.
"Oh, that's ok now that I'm on," said Healthy Living reporter Kate Keller.
"Ok, so the paddle has T grip at the top and you want to focus on keeping your hands out nice and straight. Yes, like that and give it a paddle," said Smith.
Smith launched his stand up paddle board business last August with the hope of bringing one of the fastest-growing water sports in the country to this area.
"I get everyone from your fitness people that want to do longer paddles and really get a good workout while we are out here. I also do stand up paddle board yoga so people that want to come out and enjoy nature and do yoga, as well, that is really fun."
Smith has had kids as young as six and adults into their sixties give the sport a try. He says the trip can be as vigorous or as laid back as you want to work the muscle groups from your toes on up.
"I think the best part about it is that it gets your workout outdoors. So, your are outdoors even in a calm setting. You are using less so your arms and more so your core to help keep you stable and the paddling stroke actually engages your back a lot and as well as your lower body. So it is kind of surprising," said Smith.
For those that fall in love with the sport, the more advanced stand up paddle boarders, the sport can extend into winter.
"I paddle, stand up paddle board straight through the winter as well. Some of the winter sports that we do are, is in the white water when there is a lot of flow in the rivers. So, as long as you have the right gear your can go straight through the year, but I think the more sane population will start to peter out in October," said Smith.
If you would like to give standup paddle boarding a try, SurfSUP Adventures offers lessons, eco-tours, white water adventures and Zen and Yoga.

Let's face it -- in this day and age, with our current level of technology, with everything from wireless internet to skyping to banking on our cell phones -- we still need to print out paperwork. The adage that 'paper is dead' isn't true if you're in business, in the legal profession or work for any government agency. Printing out the paperwork that makes our worlds go round is a necessity. Hewlett-Packard has some good printers, they have good toners. However, as good as these toners are, they are a bit overpriced. They do last for thousands of pages though.

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. -- "A local woman, who we'll identify as 'Mary,' recently received the shock of her life after getting her phone serviced at a Clifton Park store, says she got more than she bargained for.
"Nude pictures, just different positions and different things and going on and that was shocking," she said, describing images that appeared on her phone after it was serviced at a Sprint store in Clifton Park.
"I brought it in, and they were going to give me a new phone, take my pictures, save them, try to fix the phone and if they couldn't fix it they were going to give me a new one. So what he did was, he said, 'I couldn't fix it,' so he was supposed to give me back my pictures on this phone. Well he gave me back the pictures but he left the card in there," she explained.
But it was a memory card with someone else's private information, phone numbers, and naked pictures.
"I was pretty shocked, because my kids, what if my children had gone through the telephone, you know, and saw them in there?" she questioned.
How could this happen? NEWS10 ABC's Trishna Begam went to the store, found a person who claimed to be the 'store lead,' and demanded answers.
"I'm not quite sure how something like that could happen, if that happens that's a mistake on our employee," said the employee.
It's a mistake he says shouldn't happen, because when a customer trades in or upgrades a phone, the company erases the device. He even demonstrated how easy it is to erase a phone.
So who are the people in the photos? Well, using the contacts found in Mary's phone, NEWS10 ABC located a man who claimed to be the original owner of the card. He said the provocative pictures were of himself and his wife. While they didn't want to be interviewed, he said they are deeply embarrassed, outraged, and worried. They wonder if one person saw these pictures, who else might have?
Mary is upset and nervous too at the thought.
"I just didn't know like, my stuff. Did someone else get my stuff, like who had my contacts, who had my pictures?" she asked.
The Sprint employee NEWS10 spoke with said the store takes customer information very seriously, saying that the store is audited on things like this and that the sharing of customer information could result in an audit failure. A failure, he said, could ultimately result in the shutdown of a store.
Mary hopes Sprint looks into the incident for her sake and every customer who took or purchased a phone from the store.
"How many other pictures are they keeping on a card, like if that person brought their phone in to have pictures transferred off so their phone could be fixed and here they're thinking their pictures are deleted and they're not, how many other pictures are they keeping on this card or in their computer?" she asked.

MLB insider on Diamondbacks: 'It's as if they've never seen Mark Trumbo play'
Originally published: Dec 11, 2013 - 9:48 am
"I don't understand what the Diamondbacks are doing," he said. "It's as if they've never seen Mark Trumbo play a day in his life."
In an ESPN Insider piece about the deal, Law called Trumbo a "square peg" for the D-backs and compared him to former Atlanta Brave Ryan Klesko as far as outfield ability.
And note: Klesko was not exactly known for being a stellar defender.
"I can picture the Diamondbacks' front office sitting there at Salt River Fields in late March and wondering what the heck they've done," he wrote.
With D&W, he said his concern lies with the fact that Trumbo's best position is first base, and the D-backs have that spot locked down pretty well for the foreseeable future.
"Unless they know something about Goldschmidt that we don't, I have a feeling they're going to get about a month into the season and see Trumbo in left field and say �What the heck did we do,'" he said. "He can't play there, he certainly can't play third. There's really no spot for him on this team."
Last season, with the Los Angeles Angels, Trumbo hit .234 with 34 home runs and 100 RBI. He struck out 184 times and had an on-base percentage of .294. Of his 620 at-bats, 464 came with him as a first baseman, 69 as a designated hitter, 59 as a right fielder and 26 as a left fielder.
"He's basically a one-tool player," Law added. "He's got tremendous raw power, and right-handed power is a pretty scarce commodity right now. But he comes with terribly low on-base percentages, which is just a function of the fact that he can't hit breaking stuff at all.
"And he has no position. The only place he can reasonably play is first base. There's mixed opinions whether he's just OK at first base or whether he's actually got a chance to be good there, but it doesn't matter because the Diamondbacks don't have a place for him to play at first base right now.
"So they acquired a player who doesn't help them a ton on offense -- helps them a little bit -- but there's absolutely no place for him in the lineup and he's going to give back a huge part of that offensive value with what he's unable to accomplish on defense."
One of the reasons for the trade, by all accounts, is the Diamondbacks' desire to add protection to the lineup for Goldschmidt. The theory is if there is a better hitter behind him, the team's MVP candidate will receive better pitches to hit and thus produce even better statistics than the .302 average, 36 home runs, 125 RBI and .401 OBP he did in 2013.
"Is he going to be better than he was last year," Law asked. "Was Paul Goldschmidt sort of not good enough? Did he not reach his ceiling last year?"
In fact, Law does not actually believe in the concept of lineup protection, saying there is no evidence that it really exists in a beneficial way.
"If you're acquiring somebody thinking you're going to get more out of Goldschmidt next year, that seems a little bit delusional," Law said. "Goldschmidt was probably the best offensive player in the National League last year.
"Thinking you're going to get more out of that, if that's your plan for 2014, you should probably rethink it. Maybe consider can we get some more offense out of other positions as opposed to first base, where we got more than any other club in baseball."

And after all these years, the trans community is still at the back of the bus. I despise that. I'm hurt and get depressed a lot about it. But I will not give up because I won't give the mainstream gay organizations the satisfaction of keeping us down. If we give up, they win. And we can't allow them to win. The reason we, right now, as a trans community, don't have the rights they have is that we allowed them to speak for us for so many damn years, and we bought everything they said to us: "Oh, let us pass our bill, then we'll come for you."
Yeah, come for me. Thirty-two years later and they're still coming for me. And what have we got? Here, where it all started, trans people have got nothing. We can no longer let people like the Empire State Pride Agenda, the HRC in Washington, speak for us. And it really hurts me that some gay people don't even know what we gave for their movement."

A Young Sabonis does a great job demonstrating the weakness of Meyers' pick technique. His feet are too far apart, his knees point outward, and then he sometimes uses his forearms to make up for his poor technique. If he can improve this aspect of his play, it will positively impact the whole team.
The Blazers have had their fare share of PR gaffes, but you can always count on Donald Sterling to make us look good. This story is shocking, if true. Apparently Sterling and the Clippers front office have angered Chris Paul by essentially blaming him for VDN's firing.
Recently we've discussed Greg Oden and Portland. He has reportedly said that Portland just wasn't the right place for him. With Royce White's anxiety problems I'd argue that Portland is the PERFECT place for him, with its friendly atmosphere and little big city mentality. If we end up trading back in the draft and picking up a lowry or millsap or any other asset I would be in favor of picking up White. Could be a steal, anxiety issues seem overblown. Thoughts?
Here is some video of the players from Thursday's pre-draft workout doing a shooting drill as the media was allowed in. Arnett Moultrie and Robbie Hummel were the big names in this group.
Here are some interviews from Thursday's workout. Headliners were Mississippi State Forward Arnett Moultrie and Purdue Forward Robbie Hummel.
Hey guys, I don't mean to intrude. You may have seen some of my posts if you ever visit Field Gulls or SBN Seattle, but the majority of those articles are football or baseball related. Truth be told, I'm also a massive basketball fan and have been a Blazers die-hard since I was a little kid. I don't get the opportunity to write about basketball often, which is why I wanted to share this one with you. I'd appreciate y'all giving it a click and seeing what you think. Thanks! I'll butt back out now.
As seen on www.trailblazers.com can't wait for the season...so excited are you?

Hikers using trails in Catalina State Park should be aware of restrictions in place to protect Bighorn Sheep during lambing season.
Many of the trails in Catalina State Park wind into forest land where the restrictions are in place.
From now until the end of April, those using the trails are not allowed to wander off more than 400 feet from trails.
Also, dogs are not allowed into Bighorn Sheep management areas year round on U.S. Forest Service land, but forest officials say it is especially crucial this time of year because the sheep see the dogs as a threat.
Additionally, campsites on forest land cannot have more than 15 people during the day and no more than six people at night.
If you are caught not following the restrictions in place, you could face thousands of dollars in fines or even prison time.

Tampa, FL-- The New York Yankees' Derek Jeter hosted his 7th annual Celebrity Golf Clasic on Friday, at Tampa's Avila Golf & Country Club.
Jeter invites many of his professional sports friends to the tournament, such as Michael Jordan, Derrick Brooks, Tino Martinez, Bruce Smith, Harry Carson, John Starks, Parnell Dickenson, and LPGA star Brittany Lincicome.
The money raised goes to Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation, which helps young people in 3 different cities, turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles.
"We have a lot of programs that are set up down here in Tampa," said Jeter, who has started at shortstop for the Yankees for the last 14 years. "The foundation has given over $10 million throughout the years since it started here in Tampa, west Michigan, and New York. "We have a lot of programs that we're realy happy about, and a lot of great ideas."
Jeter said the tournament raised about $800,000 last year, and he hoped to top that this year.

When you think of Nintendo franchises you'd love to see grown up and developed to fit in with modern Western development flair, The Legend of Zelda would have to be on top of that wish-list (I know it is for me).
Previously it could have been argued that Metroid would be on that list, but an exceptionally well-calculated collaboration with a then "struggling" Retro Studios, saw a critically acclaimed reinvention of the NES and SNES classic. The Metroid Prime series is probably the most underrated in the first-person space, but held in very high regard with those fortunate enough to have sunk their teeth in.
Thankfully dreams, apparently, can come true as a recent Wired interview with Ninty legend and Zelda creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, has shed some light on a potential Western imagining of The Legend of Zelda series, with Retro called out by Miyamoto as the likely candidate for collaboration.
"As you know, we have already collaborated with Retro for the Metroid Prime series in the past," Miyamoto told Wired. "And I think when we talk about any other franchise, Zelda might be a possible franchise for that collaboration."
The thought of a top tier Western developer who understands Nintendo franchises and how to grow them up gets me all warm and fuzzy inside, and I couldn't think of a better studio to help expand the Zelda universe with Western design sensibilities. Eurogamer added to the potential of Miyamoto's statement by reminding us that Retro are already working on a new game for Wii U, something they claim is "a project everyone wants us to do".
Let your speculation run wild...

RALEIGH — Peter Karmanos Jr. turned heads a few days ago when he said the Carolina Hurricanes were a "very good hockey team."
Karmanos is the Canes' owner, and a little hubris is to be expected. But the Canes have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of the past five seasons. They were 13th last season in the NHL's Eastern Conference. They had a woeful power play and were only a little better at home than on the road.
Karmanos' belief is that a new coaching staff and new system, a healthier team and the continued development of younger players will translate into more wins next season. General manager Ron Francis is another believer, generally standing pat in free agency this past week while other Metropolitan Division rivals made significant signings.
Francis noted the Hurricanes finished 10 points out of playoff position in the East. In his mind, had goalies Cam Ward and Anton Khudobin not been out with injuries; had forwards Jiri Tlusty, Eric Staal and Alexander Semin not had slow starts because of injuries; had the power play been more potent, the Canes could have been a playoff team.
"We didn't think it was necessary to kind of blow everything up," Francis said. "We still think we have a lot of good pieces. I know people are going to shake their heads a little bit when you say that. … When you don't make the playoffs everybody wants to see change."
Francis said he got a "fresh opinion" on the players from new coach Bill Peters. The management team weighed in. Karmanos, who writes the checks, had his say.
"At this point we felt we had a good enough team to compete and make the playoffs," Francis said. "Now it's up to us to get on the ice and start winning hockey games, and I think that's the best way to convince anyone."
Can the Canes do it? Here's a team breakdown:
Karmanos says he likes the Canes' forwards. Francis says he likes the Canes' forwards.
As for Peters, Francis said, "He loves our group of forwards and what he thinks we can do. He thinks there's more there in the goal-scoring department."
The Canes need more. Carolina was 22nd in scoring last season (2.50 goals a game), finishing 28th on the power play (14.6 percent). The Canes also failed to score many goals early or late in games, finishing 27th in first-period scoring and 28th in third-period goals (sixth in second period).
Jeff Skinner had a career-high 33 goals last season and has the potential to score 40, many agree. Semin, despite a wrist injury in preseason that bothered him all season, finished with 22 goals and Jiri Tlusty and Nathan Gerbe each had 16.
A lot could hinge on a healthy – and possibly recharged – Eric Staal. He turns 30 early in the season and must consistently produce, both five-on-five and on the power play. The Canes captain had one power-play goal and no game-winning goals last season, surely a blow to his pride.
More is expected from Jordan Staal. One can't overlook his plus-2 rating last season despite facing the other teams' best forwards, but the Canes' No. 2 center needs to improve his 15-goal, 40-point production for the Canes to be playoff-cailber.
Elias Lindholm, the Canes' No. 1 draft pick last year, began to look more comfortable and was more effective late in the season. The adjustment period – to the NHL, to a smaller rink size, to leaving Sweden – is over and he should come to camp bigger and stronger.
The Canes' fourth line will have a more physical look with the addition of free agents Jay McClement and Brad Malone. But there should be a lot of competition for forward spots in preseason training camp.
Zach Boychuk led the American Hockey League with 36 goals last season and at 24 it might finally be his time. "He's a guy that we feel has earned the opportunity," Francis said.
Peters will insist on strong two-way play from the forwards, saying he wants 200-foot competitors. That's a must for the Canes.
• Pros: Four potential 30-plus goal scorers when healthy (E. Staal, Skinner, Semin, Tlusty); strength up middle.
• Cons: Net presence has been lacking; not imposing physically.
Who knew when the Canes traded Tim Gleason on New Year's Day that he would be back so soon and John-Michael Liles a teammate?
Gleason was sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Liles and a defensive prospect. Bought out by the Leafs, Gleason signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract Thursday with the Canes.
The Canes can only hope Gleason, 31, plays with his old snarl. A low-risk signing, Gleason would be a boost to a back end that has changed little from last season.
The Canes re-signed Ron Hainsey. Returning are Justin Faulk, Andrej Sekera, Jay Harrison, Liles … in short, basically the same crew minus Brett Bellemore.
"I think you're always looking to improve your back end, but Faulk and Sekera can arguably play against anybody as a 1-2 pair," Francis said. "Ron Hainsey can play 21 minutes a game. John-Michael Liles, I think he's got more to bring. Jay is coming off probably a little bit of an off-year and hopefully he bounces back."
Ryan Murphy, the Canes' first-round pick in 2011, may be ready to keep a roster spot for a full season. He has the offensive tools and can help the power play, but must be tougher and better in the defensive zone.
Haydn Fleury, this year's first-round selection, will be given the chance to make the big team but might need another year of junior hockey.
The Canes' back end needs to help out more offensively – Sekera had a career-high 11 goals but no other D-man had more than five. But Francis called it a "pretty good group" adding, "They're mobile, they can move the puck and that's important in today's game."
• Pros: Good blend of age and experience; capable puck-movers.
• Cons: Not a lot of size; need for a power-play quarterback.
Ward and Khudobin will draw $8.7 million in salary next season and most Canes fans know how that's divided – Ward will get $6.7 million, Khudobin $2 million.
But if the Canes can get the production to match the salaries, if the two goalies can push each other for the No. 1 spot, a playoff spot could be a possibility.
Khudobin's ankle injury and Ward's recurring groin issues hit the Canes hard last season. In an 11-day span in October, the Canes lost both, and for extended periods.
"There isn't any team in the league who had their No. 1 and No. 2 goalies out, that made the playoffs, for the length of time we had our goalies out," Karmanos said. "We don't need any help in goal. We have two outstanding goalies."
Justin Peters, who stepped in and played well last year when the two were hurt, has signed a free-agent deal with Washington. The Canes have signed Drew MacIntyre, coming off a strong season with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, as the No. 3 goalie.
Ward, 30, would like to have one injury-free season. Khudobin would like to be the No. 1 guy.
"Hopefully they're back, they're hungry, they're ready to go and they're healthy the whole year for us," Francis said.
• Pros: At their best, both can perform like elite goaltenders; competition level should be high.
• Cons: Ward can't seem to stay healthy for a season; MacIntyre, if needed, is new to the organization.
Playoff hopes: A lot of things probably will need to go right: a strong season from Eric Staal, another strong season from Sekera, Ward being Ward again ... it's a long list. A lot will be asked from Bill Peters, who needs to get the right players in the right spots and have the right system in place.

|WTI Crude Oil (Future)
|Monday 01:00
|Friday 24:00
AxiTrader's oil contract (WTI) is based on the ICE futures price (Front-Spot Month). This futures price is the largest price benchmark for the oil industry worldwide.
Futures contracts expire because they are related to a definitive date and there are many months traded.
(The forward prices can be higher or lower depending on market conditions).
In order to remove final day volatility at AxiTrader we switch from using the front month contract into the second month's contract one trading day prior to the exchange expiry.
An example of this is when the WTI (West Texas Intermediate) contract for September expires, the October price needs to be used and the price on the AxiTrader MT4 platform may increase or decrease depending on the value of the October contract relative to the September contract. This is obviously not a price rise or fall in oil but just a move to a new reference price and therefore no profit or loss will be incurred as a result.
In order to make sure this does not affect our clients, a cash adjustment needs to be made. Please find two examples below:

More than 90% of new GBs will not make it to their 1st red car (1M points), most of the more than 8,000,000 GBs quit before they even get close, and many GBs only show up occasionally or part time, but keep going, you can do it! It's nice seeing GBs that will come back each day even though most don't! :( Ron

YUMA, AZ - KSWT News 13 has learned new information on the dead baby who was found wrapped inside of a plastic bag at the Somerton recycling plant earlier this month.
The Pima County Medical Examiner's Office says autopsy results show the baby was a five month old fetus.
At this point, the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office tells KSWT News 13 the cause of death is still undetermined but all physical evidence points to a stillbirth.
A still birth, also called a miscarriage, is when the baby dies inside the mother's womb before being carried to a full term, which is usually 38 to 40 weeks.
Chief Medical Examiner for Pima County Doctor Greg Hess says the fetus was a baby boy about 20 weeks old.
He says the autopsy examination is on-going because there's still many unanswered questions; one being the race of the infant.
"Skin color really hasn't come out yet. In infants that small tend to have diffusely red kind of skin," said Doctor Hess.
Doctor Hess says they expect to have the full autopsy report in the next week or two. "We aren't done yet. We still are going to look at signs for infection, something like chorioamnionitis or something like that, an infection in the amniotic fluid, kind of a common cause of a miscarriage."
As for the criminal investigation, we reached out to the Somerton Police Department and they did not want to comment on the latest developments.
