The Jets are officially on the hook for a chunk of WR Santonio Holmes' contract, making it unlikely the team will part ways with him.
According to the New York Post and ESPN New York, Holmes is owed $7.5 million guaranteed in base salary for 2013 because he is still on the roster on Wednesday.
Holmes already was guaranteed his 2012 salary of $7.75 million from the five-year, $45 million contract he signed before the 2011 season. Since he was on the roster the second day after the waiver period, which was Tuesday, he also gets his $7.5 million salary for 2013. Now, with the Jets owing Holmes $15.25 million in guaranteed money, it would be very costly to drop the former Steelers wideout.
Holmes had the least productive season of his career in 2011, catching 51 passes for 654 yards. He did tie a career-high with eight receiving touchdowns, though.
Early in the season, Holmes called out the offensive line and QB Mark Sanchez. Late in the season finale against the Dolphins, Holmes was benched. Holmes and Sanchez reportedly clashed in an after-hours wide receivers-quarterback meeting. Holmes stopped attending the meetings, which many saw as a sign of disrespect.
Head coach Rex Ryan told ESPN at the Super Bowl that Sanchez and Holmes spoke by phone and were attempting to schedule a sit-down.
It appears that the Jets will not re-sign WR Plaxico Burress. They did re-sign WR Patrick Turner on Tuesday, but the team still lacks depth behind Holmes, the team's top receiver.

The family of a pregnant brain-dead woman on life support filed a lawsuit Tuesday against a Ft. Worth hospital to remove her from life support.
Marlise Munoz was found unconscious in late November, likely due to a blood clot in her lung, and was hospitalized. Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the incident.
Her husband, Erick Munoz, said a doctor told him that his wife is brain dead. John Peter Smith Hospital has refused to take Marlise off life support, citing a Texas law that prevents it from following a family's wishes when a pregnancy is involved.
But Erick Munoz and Marlise's parents want the woman taken off life support. In a recent interview with FOX, her mother said that Marlise would not have wanted to be kept alive in a situation like this and told her parents that several times.
The lawsuit states that Erick and Marlise, who both worked as paramedics during their marriage, "expressed clearly" to each other and family their desire "not to be resuscitated should either of them become brain dead."
The suit said the law, as interpreted by the hospital, "makes no sense" and "amounts to nothing more than the cruel and obscene mutilation of a deceased body against the expressed will of the deceased and her family."
The Ft. Worth hospital points to a part of the Texas Advance Directives Act that reads: "A person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment under this subchapter from a pregnant patient."
The lawsuit asks the court to rule that the Texas law in question does not apply to patients that have been diagnosed as brain dead and for Marlise to be removed from life support.
The Munoz case has garnered worldwide attention and multiple experts have told media outlets the hospital is misinterpreting the Texas law.
Two experts who helped draft the law told the Associated Press earlier this month that a brain-dead patient isn't covered by the Texas law.
The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday it will represent JPS Hospital against Munoz and no hearing has been set.
"Because litigation is pending, we will have no further comment on this suit at this time," the Tarrant DA's office said in a statement.

customers bought with this dress
Lace Ruffled Clutch Style CHANTILLY 3 3
very pretty, hard to open This is a very lovely bag. It's a good size and is nicely lined. It has a silver metal chain that you can use as a shoulder strap as well as a small strap that makes it more of a wristlet. The only negative think about this item is that it's challenging to open. December 27, 2013
I love this clutch! The ivory color matches my dress perfectly. December 24, 2013
Good price! I actually didn't use this for my wedding even though that's why i purchased it. It didn't quite go with my wedding dress but i loved the look of it. The purse i went with was too small to hold my phone so in retrospect i loved this one for it's size. However i plan to use it for other formal outings! September 30, 2012

Fantasy Fool's Gold
As we continue our way around the infield (in as abstract a way as possible), we land on the most physically taxing position outside of catcher. This of course lessens the burden on the bat in basically every aspect, from contact to power to whatever else you may be looking for. What matters so much in real life, though—the ability to stay at shortstop—is so much less relevant to any prospective fantasy owner.
While the offensive shortstop is a rare unicorn (quiet, Russell) indeed, even in the fantasy realm, prospectors don't care so much that they stay at the vaunted position as they do that the bat is real. Javier Baez could be a monster shortstop, but if he can hit and play third? Well, we'll gladly accept it.
The list below includes players who either overstated their prospect status statistically or are likely to move off the shortstop position and in so doing, will significantly damage their prospect stock. As with the other iterations of this column, many of the observations below come from the BP Prospect Team.
Marcus Semien, Chicago White Sox
Over 105 games, the 22-year-old Semien put together a .290/.420/.483 slash line showing off his plate discipline while also displaying solid pop. His 17 percent BB rate helped him walk right into the hearts of statheads, especially when compared to a 14 percent strikeout rate. Semien's production wasn't the product of luck either, as his .317 BABIP was right in line with his career norms. Upon his promotion to Triple-A, we saw Semien add to his career high in home runs, ending the year with 19 between the two levels. He did suffer a drop in batting average; from .290 to .264, while also seeing his walk and strikeout rates go in the wrong direction. Don't take the Triple-A numbers too hard though, as the sample size is only 142 plate appearances. Despite the hit in the slash line numbers, Semien maintained a semblance of his power, as well as a 10 percent walk rate and a strikeout rate that was elevated, yet manageable.
Semien's fantasy future is a bit clouded. The White Sox seem unwilling or unable to let go of Alexei Ramirez (an extremely high-quality defender) and/or Gordon Beckham (great name…? I guess?), leaving Semien without a place to play everyday. Evaluations on his capabilities, even if he was guaranteed a spot, range from utility man to bottom-end second division player. Despite the usefulness of his package in real life, the impact is lacking to make him someone to target in fantasy leagues.

Is Semien more or less likely to get a full-time gig than Leury Garcia, who sounds pretty similar?
Sep 16, 2013 06:40 AM
Craig Goldstein
BP staff
If I'm betting on one of those two guys, I think it's Leury Garcia. He's been at the major league level a bit more, and while there's not much power in the bat, he can make contact pretty well. Semien might be an option for 2015 if Garcia fails.

I was reading that you were born on September 28, the same day as Brigitte
Bardot, & that you have the same blood type as Marilyn Monroe. Do you feel a
certain connection to either of these two iconic women in any aspects of your life? Do you try to establish yourself as an icon as well?
Thank you for interviewing me. I certainly wouldn't ever think of myself as being
iconic at their level, but I do really like the idea of the female icon. I've been very
inspired by strong, outspoken women in my life. Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry, &
Nina Hagen were my obsessions when I was a teenager & probably my biggest
influence in deciding to cast off my shyness & be the front woman of a band. All
three of them have a very strong presence & let their unique perspectives on life
come through in their lyrics. Those are the main themes I focus on in Glass
Candy. Iconic ideas. I am very happy to hold up my little candle to their giant
stars because these women have given me a lot.
There's a line in "Beatific" that says, "People's rules & what they do are often
different things." As a musician, do you have rules that you have to set for
direction of what you want to achieve, or to keep you from doing a particular
The only rule is there are no rules. That's the reason Glass Candy has remained
fiercely independent. For me it would be nothing without all the exploration that
leads to revelation.
The music of Glass Candy has been used in fashion shows for designers such
as Chloe, Balenciaga, & Chanel. Does fashion play a large role in your life, in the
image of Glass Candy?
That's a really good question & one that I still can't quite figure out. I really love
personal style, but that's different than fashion. I love fashion, but I am not sure I
really understand it. I enjoy it more in the way that I enjoy a beautiful painting, or
a film, or an extravagant multi-tiered cake, but I don't understand how you would
wear any of those.
In times where you aren't touring of making music, what do you like to do?
I just started taking ballet again, & I'm training with classical piano & voice.
From what I understand you & Johnny Jewel are almost opposites, but you
balance each other out. In what ways is he different from you, & you from him?
How do you play off of each other's differences?
John is the nucleus & I'm the electron. John has two feet firmly on the ground &
I'm out circling the stratosphere. It's like how the flower needs the root & vice
versa. How nature sustains & the world goes around because of the dynamic
tension between opposites. That's Glass Candy.
What artists do you consider to be some of Glass Candy's primary influences?
Are there any artists that you particularly identify with?
Our influences range from Kraftwerk to 70's neon punk like the Sex Pistols, 60's
girl groups like the Shangri-Las & The Ronettes, 80's synth music like Gary
Numan, Dark Day & Suicide, & a huge dose of disco music as well as hip hop,
The Velvet Underground, opera, film soundtracks & vintage t.v. theme songs. We
love The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I can't say I identify with any particular
artist. I Just admire them through the glass.
What's the writing & recording process like? As opposed to conventional
recording, is there anything that is done differently?
I don't know how conventional recording is done but I'm pretty sure that's not how
we're doing it. John is the only person I have ever recorded with. We do our
creating separately in different cities, & then fuse it together in a "big bang" kind
of moment & boom…. there's a song where previously there was a void. As for
the actual process of this music being committed onto some form of physical
media, I couldn't tell you a thing. As many years as I've sat there in the studio &
stared at John while he's mixing & cutting Glass Candy tracks, I still have no idea
what he's doing over there because I'm a Libra & it's way too complicated.
He's Gemini with a Libra moon, so we find our way.
Are you reading anything at the moment? Who are some of your favorite
I like to read Yogic philosophy. I love Sri Aurobindo. There's a really great book
by his disciple Satprem called "The Adventure Of Consciousness" that is one of
my all time favorites. Another book I revisit a lot is "The Mark" by Maurice Nicoll. I
love the poetry of Sylvia Plath, & anything by J.D. Salinger.
The first time you played in McAllen was in July of last year. Had you heard about
McAllen before coming down & playing here? Did what you heard before & what
you experienced after differ?
I had never heard of McAllen before, but I think it's the cutest & most mysterious
place ever. I always keep a list of cities that intrigue me. I told John I wanted to
come back next time we were in Texas.
As a band that has been together for over 15 years, how do you believe your
sound has developed over time? In achieving the sound you have now, was it a
sudden change, or did it just come naturally as a result of both yourself & Johnny
It has grown as we have grown. It would feel unnatural to never change.
It seems as though Alberto Rossini is the director of choice not only for Glass
Candy's videos, but for the videos of almost all the groups signed to Italians Do It
Better. Is there a reason as to why you enjoy working with him so much?
Yeah, it seems like he's just one of us. He always knows how to please us. It's
like he shares a brain with us. His films are not narrative. Just mood, & we of
course love that.
What should we expect at the show come November 10?
Glass Candy has a surprise addition to its act, & I think both bands will be
extra excited because now McAllen is a nostalgic place for us to come back to.
Thanks again. These were really great questions.
Love, Ida

Indiana officials plan to use a $75 million federal grant to demolish thousands of blighted houses in the state. Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann announced the initiative on Monday at the statehouse.
"Our current budget, $500,000 in riverboat funds, that we currently use to demolish the worst of the worst blighted, vacant abandoned housing. This would greatly expand that capability hopefully," said Ben Miller, Building Commissioner. "We've been planning for a while since we had our public hearing, and getting all this together in the hopefulness that it's going to come through. We're excited about the opportunity and we're doing everything we can to put together a great application."
The state expects to start getting applications as early as March. The city is actively working on its application now.

Priority projects named by Economic Development Council
PLATTSBURGH — Two hotel projects and a pharmaceutical firm are among the priority projects chosen by North Country Regional Economic Development Council for the third round of funding competition.
The list of 21 projects was released Tuesday, with three in Plattsburgh: a training program for Bombardier, terminal expansion at Plattsburgh International Airport and SterRx, an expansion of Malone pharmaceutical company Asept Pak that expects to bring 80 jobs to Plattsburgh.
Saranac Lake projects tapped for potential funding are the Bionique building expansion, Hotel Saranac renovation and revival and Lake Flower Lodging construction.
And others in the region are the Inn at Schroon Lake and the Seagle Music Colony Centennial and campus improvement in Schroon Lake and Phase 2 of the Wild Walk at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake.
Some region-wide priority projects include a Consolidated Funding Application for North Country Regional Tourism and for Adirondack-North Country Product Branding.
The council also chose the North Country Innovation Hot Spot at Clarkson University as its entry in the Innovation Hot Spot competition. Five sites will receive funding across New York in this cycle and five more next year.
The council also identified 11 other regionally significant initiatives. Those include Trudeau Institute, the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway and ReEnergy/Chateaugay.
That list was part of the progress report, titled "Velocity," submitted to the state to meet the deadline on Tuesday. It outlines progress toward implementation of the council's five-year strategic plan.
North Country Council Co-Chair and Clarkson University President Tony Collins said the council has embraced the opportunity Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave the council in 2011 "to build a strategic plan suited to our unique circumstances, characteristics and opportunities.
"Through broad public participation and the inclusion of stakeholders across the seven-county region, the North Country has truly been delivering on its commitment to transform how we approach economic development and collaboration across the region," he said in a press release.
"Our commitment to keep the velocity of progress in high gear is buoyed by the quality of projects and innovative ideas coming from all sectors to make the North Country a great place to learn, live and work."
North Country Council Council Co-Chair and North Country Chamber of Commerce President Garry Douglas said the degree of collaboration and teamwork that now exists across the region is remarkable.
"It has allowed us to report extraordinary progress over the first two years and has brought forward a diverse and impactful set of new projects that should prove very competitive," he said.
"Thanks is owed to dozens of volunteers who have again contributed an extraordinary amount of time and talent to this process, both council and committee members."
Funding available in the third round includes $150 million in capital. Five of the 10 regions will be named Top Performers and receive $25 million each, with the other five sharing the remaining $25 million.
There is also $70 million in tax credits and up to $540 million from state agencies available through the Consolidated Funding Application process.
Starting in October, the Strategic Implementation Assessment Team will visit each of the 10 regions to hear oral presentations and participate in a tour of each council's implementation activity and priority projects.
The tours are intended to make the state's economic-development process more transparent, open and publicly accessible, the release said.
Funding awards for the third round of the Consolidated Funding Application process are expected to be announced this fall.
The North Country Council has been extremely successful in the first two funding cycles. It was awarded $90.2 million for 82 projects in 2011 and $103.2 million for 70 projects in 2012.

Mediation solve your dispute
Mediations can avoid court proceedings
Many Mediations are held before any legal proceedings are commenced, and if they are successful in reaching a solution, can be seen as an alternative to court action.
If a Mediation fails to achieve a solution the parties can still take the case to court and let a Judge settle the issues for them.
Mediations can help settle court proceedings
Mediations are increasingly held during court proceedings in an attempt to settle the case without it having to be heard in court, and without a judge having to make a decision for you.
In our experience most of our cases settle at Mediation. Despite this fact, it is usually necessary for us to at least commence the legal action, as usually Estates are not prepared to make acceptable offers to Claimants, unless the Claimant shows that they are serious, by issuing their claim in court.
After that, the Estate can be very keen to settle, even if it is only to avoid legal fees!Call us today
Select a mediator
In order to hold a Mediation you and your lawyers need to appoint a Mediator, and make a time and place to suit all involved.
It is important to select a Mediator who is an expert in the Inheritance and Will Dispute area: someone who can understand the differences between both sides and who can use his experience to guide both sides to reach a solution.

After the Civil War, as Americans increasingly moved to settle the west, the effort to win the land from Native Americans was ongoing and often brutal; in most cases, the belief was that Native Americans had no rights at all. In addition, African Americans and women were continuing their struggle for equal rights. To her credit, Caroline Harrison served as a progressive First Lady; one of her accomplishments was to see that the new medical school at The Johns Hopkins University would admit women. Many of the rights that all Americans now share are contained in the Bill of Rights. What would it be like if we didn't have those rights?

"You Ought To Be In School!" Child Labor and Compulsory Education
During the last two or three decades of the 19th century, the United States transformed itself from an agricultural society to an industrial one. The work of children was also transformed, from activities that could be done on the farm to help out, to work outside the home in sometimes very dangerous industries. As the nation gradually substituted the idea that children should be in school for the idea that children should do their part to support the family, child labor came under increasing public scrutiny, and laws making schooling compulsory were entertained. In 1892, the year of Caroline Harrison's death, one of the first state laws (in Illinois) against child labor was passed (only to be repealed in 1895!).

Learning to Be Consumers: The Emergence of Catalogs and Advertising
The idea of having one store to buy the basic needs of life is no longer commonplace in the United States. Shopping Malls have come to replace the 'General Store' that was in each town in the 19th century. For people in rural areas, or in very small towns, catalog shopping, largely from Sears and Montgomery Ward, revolutionized the way many people purchased what they needed and wanted. In addition, most Americans were very frugal and used things up or until they really wore out. What was needed in the blossoming industrial age was a way to encourage people to buy the things our industries produced. And the answer was advertising.

Workers evacuated a Sapulpa glass plant early Monday morning.
Around 4:30 a.m., crews responded to a fire at the Verallia glass plant in Sapulpa. The plant is located near I-44 and State Highway 66, just southwest of Tulsa.
Tulsa's Channel 8's Kim Jackson was at the scene where she was told the fire was caused by a piece of equipment that caught on fire. She said there was oil inside the equipment which then caused the building to fill up with heavy smoke.
Sapulpa firefighters are continuing their investigation into what caused the plant to catch fire.
KTUL.com will have more information as we receive it.

ALEXANDRIA, La. - The Town of Montgomery boil advisory was lifted Tuesday morning , according to the Department of Health and Hospitals. The water in the town in Grant Parish is on. Over the weekend, a major pipe burst leaving the town dry.
However, Avoyelles Parish remains under a boil advisory.
Residents of Plauchevile are still under a boil advisory, according to the Village of Plauchevile Water System Friday.
Mayor Mona Rabalais said the advisory is in effect until further notice and was issued due to a break in the main water line.
In addition, a boil advisory has been lifted for Brouillette Water Systems after a power failure at the well site in Cheneyville.

While these foods may be freezer staples, they're not helping you on your quest to lose weight. But, when used right, the freezer is the perfect weight-loss tool for you. Presoaked Beans What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Whether you're into black, kidney, or pinto beans, these little gems are packed with low-fat protein, so they're a great alternative to meat or dairy products. Their high fiber content is also extremely filling, and a full belly will prevent overeating. If you're freaked about the BPA found in the lining of most canned beans, a safe (and cheaper) alternative is to soak and boil dried beans. Since presoaked beans won't last long in the fridge, ensure you always have beans for dinner by soaking a big batch one night. In the morning, drain and thoroughly rinse the beans. Measure out two-cup serving sizes of presoaked beans and store them in glass containers. Or if you prefer using bags, place the beans on a cookie sheet in the freezer, and after an hour, transfer the beans to freezer bags. When you're ready to make dinner, grab the beans and boil them in water for 45 to 60 minutes and they're ready to go. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 9 Fruit Puree What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of buying fruit-flavored yogurt, which can contain extra calories from added sugar, buy plain yogurt and flavor it yourself. Puree a batch of fresh or frozen fruit in the food processor or blender, and pour spoonfuls into baby food containers or ice cube trays. You can save room in your freezer by popping frozen fruit puree cubes into a freezer bag. Then when it's time to eat, just take out a cube or two and stir it into your bowl of plain yogurt. Photo: Jenny Sugar 2 / 9 Veggie Puree What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Freeze pureed veggies such as peas, spinach, sweet potato, squash, and carrot to add extra fiber to soups, baked goods like these oatmeal cookies, mashed potatoes, dips, smoothies, cooked whole grains, pancake batter, and pasta dishes, or use as a sandwich spread. Eating fiber fills you up so you eat less and it also keeps you feeling full longer so you're not tempted to reach for high-calorie pick-me-ups. Here's a how-to guide for preparing and storing vegetable purees. Photo: Jenny Sugar 3 / 9 Frozen Treats What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of opening the fridge just to have a pint of high-calorie ice cream staring back at you, stock your freezer with healthier frozen treats. Frozen fruit bars are a great option, but you can also freeze your own desserts such as these 30-calorie ice cream cupcakes or frozen nutty banana nibblers. 4 / 9 Smoothie Ingredients What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Smoothies may be a quick breakfast to slurp down, but they certainly can take a great deal of prep, especially if you use fruit you need to peel like mangoes, oranges, or kiwis. Prepping ahead of time means you can whip up a smoothie in just a few minutes. Wash, peel, and dice fruit and store the smoothie ingredients you'd use for one smoothie in bags in the freezer. My favorite is one sliced banana, one cup of blueberries (can use frozen), six sliced strawberries, half a cup of sliced mango, and a big handful of spinach. Cutting the fruit in small chunks is recommended to ensure they puree well. Pour the frozen fruit in your blender or food processor and add yogurt, milk, peanut butter, or whatever other ingredients you choose, and a little water, and your smoothie will be ready in no time. Source: Flickr User ericabreetoe 6 / 9 Herbs and Greens What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Flavoring your dishes with herbs is a healthy way to add flavor without a ton of calories. Growing your own or buying big bunches of herbs can save money, but not if you only use a small amount and end up throwing out the rest because they go bad before you have a chance to use them. Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays and add water or veggie broth. This also works well for greens you can add to smoothies, soups, and sauces. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 9 Pizza Dough What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Homemade pizza tends to be much healthier than a pie you'd have delivered from the local pizzeria because you can use whole-wheat crust, not a ton of cheese, and lots of fresh veggies. Either keep premade whole-wheat pizza crusts in the freezer, or you can buy dough (or make your own) and store wrapped balls of dough in the freezer. You just need to remember to thaw it in the fridge a few hours before dinner so it's ready to roll. Source: Flickr User dobrych 7 / 9 Homemade Cookie Dough What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anyone who's ever baked a homemade batch of cookies knows it's impossible to eat just one. So the next time you craft a batch, bake half and scoop the rest into ice cube trays. Then when your sweet tooth kicks in, pop out one and bake it to satisfy your craving without breaking the calorie bank. Photo: Jenny Sugar 8 / 9 Store Leftovers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The next time you bake an enormous spinach lasagna, gluten-free pasta bake, kale casserole, or big batch of bean soup, instead of storing leftovers in the fridge, where they often go bad, save them in the freezer. Divvy up appropriate portion sizes into reusable containers, so the next time you need a quick, healthy meal, it's ready to go. If you remember in the morning, you can transfer the containers to the fridge and allow them to thaw all day, or if they're in glass containers, just pop them in the microwave. It sure beats ordering high-calorie takeout!

I don't remember which one exactly, but it was one of my early elementary school teachers — probably well near the end of her rope with my alternating frenetic chatter and yawning lethargy — who drilled into me the famous adage: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
I tried to sleep as a child, I really did. But it never came easily.
I'd be in bed for hours, watching the minutes flip over on the analog clock across the room. With excruciating slowness the numbers would flutter from 8 to 9, then from 9 to 10 and again through 11.
So many nights I was still wide awake at midnight, trying to gin up conversation with my exhausted parents who slept in a twin bed just a few feet away. They learned not to talk about anything important at bedtime.
Or I'd fall asleep early in the night only to awaken in the wee hours, sitting up in bed in the dark, talking to myself in order to stave off the boredom.
The next day I was quite the handful at school. I'd go in strong in the morning, hopped up on ultra-sugary cereal, and push my teachers to the limit by constantly being out of my seat, talking too much and asking too many questions.
Oh, and there was the whistling. My fourth-grade teacher would regularly growl, "Don't whistle, Esther, it makes the angels cry."
Then in the afternoon, during social studies class, I'd fall asleep. Some days, I would start in a sickly fog and rev up after lunch. The net result was, at least, consistent. Throughout my elementary-school experience, teachers, lunchroom monitors and principals repeatedly warned me that I needed to learn to exercise self-control.
These memories — and not at all distant, since I still suffer from frequent bouts of insomnia — bubbled up the other day when I ran across a new child sleep study.

"The Cubs, sources say, have been doing their homework on three key Mets prospects -- left-hander Robert Carson and right-handers Kyle Allen and Jeurys Familia. " If we got those 3 pitchers, i'd be really happy. Familia would be the centerpiece prospect, but all 3 are pretty highly ranked in the Mets system. I believe #9, #13, #23. What do you guys think?
I figured this would happen as soon as I heard the Cliff Lee news this morning. If we are trading Lilly, we better get some good prospects; if not I just keep him and take the picks. Who do you think the Mets would give up for Lilly? I don't think Mejia or Davis are possibilities.
I like how this author has the balls to suggest that the Cubs trade Carlos Marmol. It's an awesome idea, only if the Cubs are able to get a huge prospect in return. "Like Carlos Zambrano, I have reached my boiling point with the Cubs organization. There have been worse seasons than this one, but rarely has one seemed this disappointing."
Ryan Dempster and his wife Jenny launched their new foundation Sunday night. It was a great event and TONS of Cubs came out to support him. Check out the link for lots of pics and more info...
Ted Lilly on his knee surgery and how he's feeling...
I like that we are in the hunt and could have him in the bullpen. And Ted Lilly said he is a fan of the move, so it can't be all bad, no matter what BLou says about it.
As promised... : ) The Cubs add to a string of injuries as the Gatorade Cooler is put on the DL. It looks like Ryan Dempster is taking it the hardest...
As you can see, many who played are doing just fine. The WBC is not why he looks out of shape and overweight. To blame the WBC for Soto, makes no sense, just by looking at Lilly or Fukudome to...
Which game stands out to you the most? Was it Soriano's game winning homer in Milwaukee? Or was it Reed Johnson's "The Catch II" to sit Prince Fielder down? Was it Ted Lilly's second 1-hit...
Ted Lilly on his Wednesday night start against the Reds.

What is Digital Camera?
- Digital camera work basic principles: light - electricity - digital signal transfer and change. Through the light sensor signal into a current signal into analog and then digital signal processing by a dedicated chip, and filtering the information obtained to restore it is what we see a dynamic picture
Some Affect the Image Quality Reasons:
- Camera Image is Not Good. This failure generally can be divided into three cases, one is shown in the viewfinder image and the TV is not ideal, leading to the reasons for this failure is usually in the camera circuit; Second, the viewfinder image normal and the TV show bad image, in which case AC adapter or failure is usually caused by poor line connection; third is the TV image viewfinder image normal and bad reasons for this failure is usually caused by a viewfinder
- The Image Color is Not Natural. If the tape monitor records the image normal and five color or color negative, in general, failure occurred in the video section: On the contrary, if the tape recording monitor image is not normal and normal, was caused by AC adapter or a bad connection. If both are negative, the fault in the camera circuit
- Image Blur, Focus is Not Good. If the manual focus well and auto-focus poor, often malfunction in the automatic focusing circuit. If the manual and automatic focus are bad, the fault component, mainly in the lens focus
- No Audio Playback Images. In such cases, can be taken with a tape recorder into the common normal replay, monitor sound effects. If the sound normal, the fault in the AC adapter; the other hand, failure in the audio and microphone recording microphone circuit or circuits
- The Machine Does Not Work. After booting the keys had no role in the viewfinder no light, the box body does not work. Such power failures are usually caused by abnormal or power circuits. Should first check the battery voltage or AC AC adapter output voltage is normal, if normal then the fault in the power circuit.
- Tape Handling Failure. Viewfinder and monitor can be displayed the image when shooting, but the tape is not loaded into or take it out. Such failure generally occurs in the movement and its drive circuit
- Avoid highlight, high or cold temperature, water, shock, collision, corrosion, smoke, dust, magnetic, X-ray etc.
- Only when it is in great need, a little bit of dust will not affect the image quality. When you need cleaning, it shall use a soft brush, such as the sable brush or hair dryer to remove dust. If you want to wipe the lens, you should use the pump to blow away the dust, wipe it with lens paper
- You can use a transparent display protection sticker to protect the screen

The Fight Nerd and Zane Simon return to once again nitpick the no-holds-barred era of mixed martial arts, this time with a look at the SEG Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view, UFC 7: The Brawl in Buffalo!
On this episode, we take a look at one of the more forgettable UFC tournaments that features the octagon debut of Marco Ruas and his glorious foot stomping tactics, the triumphant return of veterans Paul Varelans, Remco Pardoel, and Harold Howard, and we lament the disappearance of Jim Brown in favor of Don "The Dragon" Wilson. Plus, the superfight between Ken Shamrock and Oleg Taktarov, which is just barely better than Shamrock VS Severn 2 from UFC 9. Just barely.
Don't forget to check out Zane Simon's UFC 7 Fighter Redux piece for more info on the combatants in this tournament, and support the official DVD release of UFC 7 in hopes that Zuffa keeps making more!
Which brings us to our poll question this week - was Marco Ruas the most well-rounded fighter that we had seen in the octagon at this point in history? You decide!

"This picture was taken at the Batting For Bubba charity softball tournament. The event benefitted Charlie "Bubba" Morris who is battling Cancer. This picture is all of Bubba's kinfolk who played as a team in the tournament including bubba himself and some of his close friends who helped with the event. The Texas Orange shirts say Team Bubba Kinfolk, with jersey numbers on the backside. They were a big hit at ten event and many questions were asked about where they were created.

Diner Reviews
O Fine is my favorite sushi place.
I've had sushi all over the country and O Fine is the best. They are very creative, fresh, and they will make special orders, no problem. Everyone I have brought to O Fine really enjoyed it and agreed that it was the best. I love the location and that not everyone knows about it."

We enjoyed another great dinner on
Friday night. Kampachi with jalapeño and ponzu, rib eye steak, tempura and salad. "
Dined on 6/6/2014
We've dined at O several times and
always found it to be a great value, as well as good food. But, they've changed their menu, so everything is a la carte. What was a complete dinner, with rice, soup, salad, and a main course, is now just a slab of meat or fish on a plate, and, everything (even a bowl of rice) is extra. Sooo, with this change in policy, we can find better food at the same or lower prices, with less noise to boot. We won't be back."

I eat here often with work
colleagues and we always have good service. The food is good and the prices are reasonable."

Enjoyed the ambience, food and
service at O Fine... we scheduled a working dinner and requested a private area to accomodate and we had a great section of the restaurant to ourselves. The music was a touch loud for work, but added to the vibrancy and fun of the venue. I would recommend."

Seldom do you find a restaurant
that has uni sushi. Seeing it on the menu I asked if it was fresh or canned - the answer was a resounding fresh which became obvious with my first bite. Sea urchin eggs are a rare treat and these were excellent! "
Dined on 4/30/2014
I came here from the Bay Area
while visiting a friend in Irvine, and I was intrigued. The restaurant gave off a great vibe, and the hostess was friendly enough. Service was fast and the waitress was extremely kind. She showed me the happy hour list, but wasn't pushy about ordering from it. The food was absolutely amazing! However, I was a bit interested (disappointed isn't quite the right word because taste was perfect). I'm accustomed to ordering pricy sushi and receiving small portions, but the portions that were brought out were definitely not worth the price. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go there again, but it isn't worth a 500-mile drive."
Dined on 3/2/2014
The food was delicious! All of the
rolls we got tasted amazing. The rolls we received were obviously fresh and had just been made. The Miso soup with mushrooms was delicious and something you don't see in many menus. The Tempura ice cream was the perfect desert to finish an amazing meal. The service was amazing especially considering we were a party of 7. Our drinks were refilled without asking and we we asked if everything was good frequently. When we asked for something it was brought within minutes. Great food, service, and location. Highly Recommended!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
We had 7pm reservations. When we
arrived we found that not only did we have 7pm reservations but many parties were booked for the same time. Now add walk-ins to this mix, and you have confusion. We were told we had a 20 minute wait. When we were seated our server was very nice but when I asked why I received our appetizer after we started receiving our sushi, I was told that another server gave it to a different table. So - the food is fantastic. Always continues to delight. O needs to work on reservations and service when dealing with a holiday. I confirmed that going to dinner on Valentines Day is not so pleasant and always go to my favorite sushi place - O - on any other day of the year."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The restaurant was in a nice part
of Irvine, however it is extremely small in some areas. The place I was sat was slammed really close to the wall, making it very hard for the waiter to get to myself and me get out. I wouldn't go again, the food was OK but not work the cost."
Dined on 2/14/2014
People in my party liked the
different rolls. One had chicken teriyaki and another had beef. The beef could have been more tender. The prices were a bit high."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Really glad we got to try this
place! Great food and fresh fish."
Dined on 1/26/2014
What a pleasant surprise to find
that O Fine had modified the space and created a larger dining room. The service was much improved with more staff. We enjoyed trying the different new offerings. Open table website needs to update the online menu. We especially enjoyed the amber jack from Hawaii... Melt in your mouth delicious."
Dined on 1/24/2014
We are always delighted by the
fine fish selection and excellent service!"
Dined on 1/12/2014
Always amazing food! NYE free sake
and wine toast at 9 (midnight on the east coast). It was pretty busy and we had to constantly flag down the waitress for silverware, to order food, drinks etc...but overall a great time and great fresh sushi... The crunch red dragon roll is the best!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Came here with a group of 10 on
NYE. Showed up 15 minutes late and host had to give table away. He was very apologetic. I was annoyed at first but this host which we never got his name but called him DTF (he mentioned having to go to Dtwn Fullerton) absolutely have the best service hands down. Knowing that we were aggravated with having to wait for a new table. He brought complimentary bottles, yes I said bottles - of cold sake - on the house. He also brought out wine glasses for the ladies with us. Which we all thought was very nice of him to do. The above and beyond customer service didn't stop there. We received more drinks on the house throughout our dinner. The rest of the staff were all great also! I'll be coming back soon."
Dined on 12/31/2013
We went to O for NYE. It was
delicious as always. The only thing that was disappointing was that they no longer carried sparkling sake. Otherwise it was a good experience."
Dined on 12/31/2013
We had a delightful dinner at our
neighborhood favorite O Fine. Expecting to order our usual dinners, we were suprised to see a brand new menu. No more dinners, everything was a la carte with many new options. We brought our own champagne which was a hoot, since our server popped the cork clear above the Sushi bar from the dining room. Very Funny. The sushi, sashimi and tataki we ordered were very fresh. Reminded us of Hawaii portions and prices. This is a good thing. Go! Try the new menu and enjoy the great new concept."
Dined on 12/31/2013
We were pleasantly surprised
finding this restaurant. The ambience a little more upscale with great food presentation and excellent food quality, we were not disappointed. We arrived for an early Christmas eve dinner and had the seared salmon crunchy roll, scallop and crab avocado and lamb chop with rice and side salad. Portion size of the chops seemed small but turned out to be just right and the quality and taste of the food was excellent, We would definitely go back."
Dined on 12/24/2013
We thought the food was very good
and priced very well. The decor was lovely and the service was good."
Dined on 12/20/2013
I chose this restaurant as locale
for a "first date" (and for a woman that was of course, a sushi fan). The convenient locale within Irvine, and the modern, soothing ambience of the decor seemed a perfect fit for relaxed dining and "get to know you" conversation. Unfortunately, while I researched the built environment, I didn't do NEARly enough searching about price. To feed two people "adequetely" (we didn't leave at all stuffed) the total bill with tip was over $90!! And that total didn't include drinks or dessert! Had we had either, and the total would have likely crested $110 - 120!! Ridiculous! Considering that a "quality" sushi buffet at any of five locale spots is usually about $20/per...needless to say, I made an expensive mistake."
Dined on 12/2/2013
We love O! Sushi is always fresh
and I love their specials! Fun place to go eat! Great service!"
Dined on 11/27/2013
We had a party of 8 and were
seated right away at a table in the back. Cool ambience. Everyone ordered sushi. It came out at different times so some people were eating while others were still waiting. Kind of a bummer that we didn't all have food at the same time. However, the sushi was totally fresh and yummy. Would definitely go back."
Dined on 11/9/2013
We really enjoyed our time at your
restaurant and the food was delicious!!!!"
Dined on 9/20/2013
Great selection of rolls. Decent
quality for fish. Pricing was moderate. Will definitely return"
Dined on 8/10/2013
Although this little gem is not
cheap - you hobestly do get what you pay for with this wonderful Restaraunt . Not only is it well appointed with great modern touches mixed with an Asian atmosphere but the food is not only creative and of a high quality, but the presentation and finally the taste is simply wonderful! My favorite sushi bar."

This restaurant has wonderful food

I had the spicy tuna roll and
yellowtail sushi by he sushi was delicious. It had a wasabi and citrus thing on it that was to die for. The roll was just a roll. (It was the one unlike donut was good). The tuna was spicy and tasted amazing!"
Dined on 4/4/2013
This is just the second time I've
been to O, despite living just down the street for nearly two years. They have a great selection of sushi as well as other Japanese dishes. I expect O will become a frequent dining spot for my husband and I."
Dined on 3/22/2013
We always have a perfect meal when
coming to O Fine. We dine here once a week, sometimes two. We usually order: O Roll Sashimi Roll Tako sashimi Scallop sashimi Albacore belly sashimi The service is impeccable and the fish is always fresh. I would highly recommend any sushi lover to dine here."
Dined on 3/16/2013
I used OpenTable to create a
reservation. This was my first time to the place. Food: Awesome! I would recommend the food Service: Refills were monitored (which is something I use as a measuring stick), server was friendly. Location: Good with ample parking even when busy - you may need to park 40 yards away but not bad at all. My disappointment is: I was taking a colleague to lunch to celebrate his birthday. I put that in the opentable notes but nothing was done. I asked if something, anything, could be done. I would have appreciated if the waitress or hostess had told me up front that they don't do anything for birthdays, I would have given the guy a card or something instead. I just wish they told me."
Dined on 2/21/2013
I was traveling with two business
colleagues, and we decided to try O Fine Japanese. We had reservations for 3 at 7pm on Valentine's Day. Huge mistake. Despite showing up on time, we were given a 30-45 minute wait. The poor front desk staff looked completely overwhelmed. We figured waiting 30+ minutes was better than trying something else, so we went next door for a glass of wine. We when we returned 20 minutes later, the situation had deteriorated. We ended up waiting an hour and not getting a table - finally gave up. I have no idea if the food was good, as I assume the service wouldn't be wretched on a random day. But the place was loud, sweaty and had an unpleasant odor to it. I'm guessing there are better sushi joints in this area."
Dined on 2/14/2013
Bento box w/teriyaki beef was thin
and rubbery. California roll not good at all. We were hoping this would more upscale, but instead it was more like fast food Japanese."
Dined on 2/3/2013
The best sushi in Orange County!
Great service and beautiful sushi bar."
Dined on 1/25/2013
Great sushi roles and choices for
sushi-phobes as well! Will be back again!"
Dined on 12/31/2012
Since we ate at an early hour,the
ratio of staff to guests was in our favor. The added attention was appreciated. O has the feeling of an upscale restaurant at a moderate price."
Dined on 12/22/2012
We always enjoy having sushi here,
friendly place that is always a joy to come back to."
Dined on 12/1/2012
Consistently excellent. My husband
dined here before I moved down with our children. I prefer to dine here alone with my husband when we can because it is so good avd the staff is so attentive but they are also great with children too."
Dined on 10/12/2012
Good food made by nice, friendly
sushi chef. I was impressed by the quality and freshness. Will definitely code back."
Dined on 10/9/2012
If you go, sit at the sushi bar.
The service for the dinning room tables was horribly slow. Servers seemed more interested in heading to the back than looking for hands in the air getting their attention. When they showed up, they were nice. It was our second time at O Fine. Sushi bar was fine the first time. Dining room the second time convinced us to go get sushi somewhere else the next time we want sushi. There are too many good sushi places to settle for poor service. It is a shame, because we really enjoyed ourselves the first time."

This poured out as a golden color with a white head on top. the smell of the beer was sweet with fresh grains and maybe a little honey on the nose too. The taste of the beer was pretty good, again mostly sweet grains and malts. The mouthfeel of the beer was pretty well carbonated, it has a lighter body to it and is pretty refreshing. Overall this beer was decent I thought. Nothing overly special here just a drinkable brew.

I picked this up at Al's of Hampden as part of a mix-a-six, poured chilled into a double walled tumbler allowed to gradually increased in temp.
The color is darker golden almost orange hued with translucent clarity and head that collapses rapidly even though poured vigorously. The head returns momentarily when swirled and bead is fine, no lace collects. The smell is very creamy and almost bready but kind of butterscotch too with a diacetyl odor I can't get past. The maibock has a relatively high yeast ester with mild alcohol. The feel is smooth and sweet with a slight diacetyl tinge and mild toasted texture with sweet chewy and mildly alcoholic yet semi-dry as it finished.
The taste is not too bad, it lacks a little complexity and there is a mild buttery aspect that I don't enjoy, it seems out of place, mild hop spice and slight grainy flavor with yeast presence in the taste. The malt is pretty one-note and the sweetness level is high in the taste which is almost caramel tinged with a moderately high alcohol flavor as it finishes. I think this is pretty ho-hum, it fits the style enough to be average, but is pretty much a let down in general. I would not go for this again but I have had worse beers and it hides the 10% somewhat. I think the problem is I prefer a lager that comes off a bit 'cleaner' as flavors that ferment out. It seems like this didn't finish and is underattenuated.

Appearance- brown with thin white lacing murky, low carbonation
Smell- very nice malty sweet nose, rum, raisin, very nice sweet nose
Taste- very nice and malty up front, there is slight spice in the end but not much that keeps it in check from being to sweet, good balance this beer, enjoyable though touch sweet
Mouthfeel- pretty heavy to full bodied,
Drinkablity/overall- overall i did enjoy drinking this beer, enjoyable flavor a bit sweet for sessioning and a bit heavy aswell, its actually very unique and not what I expected for the style but actually pretty good and nice value for 8.99 6 pack

Very delicious. I managed to try this on tap over the summer at a Brewer's Pizza in town. Just went browsing a few days ago at a new (to me) beer store and found a lone 12 oz. single on the shelf and had to try it again.
A: Deep clear nutty crimson color on the pour. Not much head, but what there was of it, clings very nicely with slight lacing. Good halo'ing.
S: Malt sweetness, with a biscuity freshly mowed lawn scent.
T: Wonderful, juicy with plum, liquorice, chocolate, raspberry and caramel notes. Alcohol is well balanced. Some kick from the hops in the middle with a wet juicy kiss of a finish.
M: Wild, wet and wonderful. Mild sting from alcohol esters blends well with the rest of the mix, leaving a wet finish. Micro-carbonation and smooth drinking.
D: I love this beer. It's right up there with a lot of big juicier Belgians for me. Pair with Italian, wings, or anything that isn't delicate.

A - deep amber color, thin bit of cream colored foamy head
S - mostly sweet malts and some alcohol, a touch of honey
T - sweet, very bready malts...theres a lot of flavor and at the same time it's subtle, hard to describe. A little grassiness in there maybe.
M - nectar-like, semi-thick and sticky with a tiny tingle of carbonation
D - I'd have another...an all-around good maibock. Nothing amazing or surprising, but definitely good.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Mets say first baseman Ike Davis likely has valley fever and will be given days off to avoid extreme fatigue, a common symptom of the disease.
The Mets made the announcement Saturday night after MLB.com reported Davis' condition earlier in the day.
Valley fever is a fungal infection found in the dirt in desert regions of the Southwest and can be stirred up by construction and winds. Davis lives in Arizona in the offseason.
The Mets say Davis is not contagious and will continue to play at spring training. He had two hits in an intrasquad game Saturday.
Valley fever can be a serious problem. Conor Jackson missed all but the first 30 games of the 2009 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks after contracting it.

When architectural designer Mary Meagher teamed up with a family to build a summer home in a small town on the coast of Rhode Island, she knew the site -- a generous spot of open land with unobstructed views of Narragansett Bay -- would dictate the design. So she gave the house extra-high ceilings with expansive windows, but also planned for outdoor living spaces, including a spacious screened porch.
The homeowners knew from past summers that they loved having a spot where they could relax or entertain without having to endure the harsh rays of midday sun or the relentless attack of mosquitoes. And sure enough, the new porch, with its dazzling vistas and comfortable furnishings, has become the family's favorite room during the summer months.

It's a pretty big jump in class to go from a race at Indiana Downs to one at Saratoga, making it logical to overlook a shipper from the small Midwest tracks at the Spa.
But sometimes there's a reason or two to have faith in a relative new face on the circuit.
Take Boston Proper. Entered in the third race at Saratoga on Aug. 18, he came into the $35,000 claimer off a maiden special weight win on the turf at Indiana Downs.
His speed figures fit well with the rest of the horses in the field, though there was surely a reason to question his ability to handle the class jump from Indiana Downs to Saratoga – until you checked his first two races.
Before arriving at Indiana Downs, Boston Proper started his career at Saratoga. He was fourth in a maiden special weight race on dirt in his debut, then lost by a neck in a $50,000 maiden turf claimer at the Spa on Aug. 22, 2012.
He was claimed out of that second Saratoga race by his current connections, who rested him until February when he made two starts at Oaklawn Park. The Indiana Downs races followed and then it was time to come full circle and return to the Spa.
Though the $35,000 claimer was on dirt, Boston Proper had finished second on dirt at Oaklawn and, being a son of Speightstown, had a pedigree that indicated he could handle dirt.
He was an inviting wagering possibility in the race and became an even more rewarding choice when he won by a half-length at 5-1 odds and returned $12.20 to win.
THE LESSON: Before getting too provincial and tossing out a shipper based on its last few races at a smaller circuit, check all of the horse's past performances to see if there's an indication it can handle its new surroundings.

Health & Safety:
Usually a lot of muggings at the off campus bars
Health & Safety:
The campus police are around, but not everywhere all the time. Fall 2013 there were some violence issues surrounding campus, because the campus is not in a great area of Des Moines. I feel completely safe walking around by myself during the day, but at night I would rather not. Nothing has ever happened, but it's just a weird feeling.
Health & Safety:
They are just unaware of most things
Health & Safety:
There are shooting around campus, but never on campus, and some people have been mugged, but they have "press this button to call campus security" poles.
Health & Safety:
Because of Drakes location in Des Moines security and safety of students is of high priority. Drake employs the larges private security team in the state and they are available 24/7. They can be at any location on campus in under 30 seconds.

Yorkshire Water bosses cut back on planned rise
10:00am Monday 24th February 2014 in Local news
Bosses at Yorkshire Water say they have listened to customers and halved a planned rise in charges this year.
The Bradford-based utility says household bills in West Yorkshire will rise by an average of £6, instead of the planned £12 – raising the average annual charge from April 1 to £373, compared with £368 last year.
The company says it is cutting its profits to help keep the rise in bills below the planned level of 1.6 per cent from April.
Chief executive Richard Flint said: "Customers in West Yorkshire already pay some of the lowest average bills in the country but we've heard the message that we need to continue to deliver a great service while keeping bills as low as possible.
"We know many customers are feeling the pinch and have taken action by limiting the price rise for this coming financial year."
Prices are agreed every five years by industry regulator Ofwat and a 1.6 per cent rise over and above inflation was originally planned.
