The man with the Midas touch

Businessman and philanthropist Hershey Friedman talks to the 'Post' about the secrets of his success.

With his pious appearance and wise eyes, the 63-year-old Friedman looks and sounds like a Talmudic genius as he sits in his Tel Aviv office and contemplates his vision for Azorim, the residential real-estate company he owns, and his commitment to the Jewish state.
"Israel is our true land. It is the land of our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," he declares in his Montreal Jewish accent. "Israel will always be there. Israel will always have a future."
An international businessman and philanthropist who spends a week to 10 days in Israel every month, the Canadian billionaire purchased the ailing Azorim in 2011 and turned it around to become one of Israel's most exciting enterprises.
"I have a very good instinct," he acknowledges, modestly. "I have a smell and a gut, and that tells me with a lot of projects what to do and what not to do."
Among its many projects Azorim has built across the country is its prestigious Beeri Nehardea tower apartments in Tel Aviv.
"Beeri is the most exclusive building in Israel," Friedman says, proudly.
"Only the who's who of Israel live in that complex. When I took it over, it was pretty much on the edge of bankruptcy. My gut told me it could be very successful, and we made a really big success of it."
Although the design is still a much-guarded secret, Azorim is now planning a 280-meter-tall skyscraper in Ramat Gan.
"The Elite Tower is one of a kind," Friedman says, his eyes sparkling behind his glasses as he gazes at an architectural sketch of what has become his flagship project. "I didn't want to go to 100 floors, which is permitted, but it will be the tallest residential building in the Middle East. The concept of the type of apartments was never done before in Israel, like building lofts, which is an American thing."
In all of Azorim's residential projects, Friedman says, he insists on owning the land himself and aspiring for the highest quality.
"I look to have more than just the regular," he says, pointing to upscale residential complexes such as the Boutique Hanevi'im, King David's Residence and Arzei Habira in Jerusalem, the 160-unit Ne'eman Towers in Tel Aviv, a gated community in Motza, and park neighborhoods for younger families in Netanya, Rehovot, Yavne and Ashdod.
Friedman is known as a quiet but strong supporter of Israel and its government.
"I've traveled the world, and this is a lovely country. The greatest rabbis in the world are in Israel, and I found a deep connection to them, which I really, really enjoy," he says.
"I think you've also got tough government officials here. Everyone has gone through a war, everybody knows what it is to keep Israel alive."
Friedman believes Israel's best friend in the world today is Canada, because of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper "With Harper, you got something very special, because the Canadian government has never really been pro-Israel. This is sheer luck that you got a guy like Harper to be so pro-Israel. It is unheard of in Canada for such a thing to happen, but it makes us Jews feel really, really good to have someone who understands the Jewish faith."
Friedman has some criticism of Israel, too. He says he has encountered many problems here, including the constant threats of law suits, abusive conduct, and bureaucracy.
"You know, you buy a piece of land over here, and you think you're going to develop it tomorrow," he says. "But you can wait 15 to 20 years before you start the project."
Asked if he has gotten used to it, he says: "You learn the hard way.
Once you get used to knowing what Israel is all about, you can live with it. You know that if you cross at a red light, you're gonna be hit. So at least cross at a green light and look out for yourself. In America, you just cross at a green light and that's it. In Israel, you still have to look.
That's how I would make a comparison.
It's a harder country [in which] to do business, a much more difficult life in general, but it's more exciting."
Still, he understands why it's tough to live in Israel.
"Israel is a very difficult country, probably because the people have a very difficult life. Their whole attitude in the business world and character is very different," he says.
"In America, who worries? In Canada, you go to sleep at night and you don't worry. You know you're going to wake up the next morning and no bombs are going to explode. It's a peaceful country. In Israel, you go to sleep at night and in the morning, you want to know what's on the news."
FRIEDMAN WAS born in 1950 in Montreal. When he was 10, his father was involved in a serious car accident that left him paralyzed.
The traumatic event forced his mother to take on management of the family textile business to allow his two older brothers to continue their higher education.
At 13, he became a student at Ner Israel Yeshiva in Baltimore, where he spent two years, followed by two years at Beit Shraga in Monsey, New York, after which he returned to Montreal. At the age of 17, Hershey was propelled into management of the family business in order for his 2 brothers to continue their education.
"I was a businessman even when I was a little boy," he recalls, grinning.
"I remember buying pencils, erasers and sharpeners and selling them at school."
After his bar mitzva, he visited a construction site, took orders from workers and purchased items at the local store for them at a profit. After a while, he saved up enough money to buy his first soda vending machine, which he installed on the construction site.
At the age of 32, after having led the family business and studying law and accounting in the evening at Montreal College, Friedman got into the plastics, printing and flexible packaging industry at the recommendation of a neighbor in Montreal. He took a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy and made it an enormous success. In the years that followed, he bought two dozen more companies in the same industry as well as other industries with a turnover of billions of dollars.
"We are probably the biggest packaging company in North America, because we don't go under one name," he says. "If you put them all together, all over the US and Canada, we are the largest in North America, packaging Hershey's chocolates, Pepsi, Nestle, Elle Candy, the famous Entenmann's donuts, McCain's fries, as well as larger and smaller companies internationally and locally. We're also probably the largest bread-bag producer."
He also took over the largest kosher deli factory in North America in 2010, turning it from a business in trouble to one that is profitable.
In most of his investments, Friedman gained a reputation for implementing turnaround plans for companies in trouble, restoring them to health and returning them to profitability.
He has been active in various sectors all over the world, especially in North America, eastern Europe and Israel.
Friedman owns half of the business information company Dun & Bradstreet, Fourier, which produces solutions for scientific education, and CVD, a development company.
His many business ventures in Israel over the last two decades reflect Friedman's special connection to the Jewish homeland. At the beginning of 2009, he showed interest in acquiring Azorim from the real-estate developer Shaya Boymelgreen.
Although at the last minute, Boymelgreen changed his mind, Friedman persisted and eventually purchased the company two years later. He then made a strategic decision to sell most of its commercial real estate and concentrate on residential real estate.
"I started reworking the company, getting rid of what I considered non-core business," he said. "Anything out of Israel I sold off, but not at a loss. We got rid of our commercial properties, such as the big Ir Yamim mall in Netanya which we sold this past year, and we sold a lot of what you call commercial business from Azorim. It brought in a lot of needed funding and also let us concentrate on what Azorim always was, number one in residential [real estate], and brought it back to what it once was. Our plans are to keep it that way, rebuild ourselves back to 100 percent, and down the line we'll see if we want to diversify or not."
Throughout his business career, Friedman has never sold any company that he bought, and although Azorim is the only publicly traded company in his portfolio, he says he does not intend to make any exception and "is looking forward to a bright and positive future."
Asked if his Judaism motivates his business, he says no.
"You train yourself that come Friday evening, this world doesn't exist anymore until motzei Shabbat [the night after Shabbat]," he explains. "You have to discipline yourself. Being an observant religious Jew has nothing to do with the business world. I don't think faith is a dominant issue. Work ethics is what you're brought up on. It comes with what you see, what your father has done. And the people around you, they have really the biggest effect on you. Then again you train yourself [as to] what business ethics you want. These will be the ethics of your life also."
Besides his myriad business activities, Friedman is also one of the biggest Jewish philanthropists in the world. He has donated buildings in his family name in Israel, Canada and the US, and given generously to many institutions, including hospitals, schools, yeshivas and facilities for the disabled.
"Remember, I had a father who was disabled, so I know what it's all about," he says. "We have big budgets over here."
Friedman has also invested tens of millions of dollars in the publication of Judaica books, under the imprint "Mahadurat Friedman," most of them produced and published in Israel.
These include Talmud Bavli, Talmud Yerushalmi, Shulhan Aruch and a new Mishnayot and Mishna Berura.
He has also just completed the Abir Yaacov, a series of books by Rabbi Yaakov Abuhatzeira, comprising 25 volumes.
"In Israel, we have over 500 people working just on the books, and it's spread out all over the country, in cities like Jerusalem, Haifa, Beit Shemesh and Ashdod and many more areas, so we don't confine it to one place," he says. "You can also find them in hesder yeshivot worldwide.
I was just in South Africa this winter, and I saw my books there."
Friedman and his wife Raisy have six married children, all of whom have joined his wide-ranging business domain, and grandchildren.
Associates describe him as a warm person who is very close to his family and prefers to work with a small team away from the spotlight.
"All of my children and sons-inlaw studied in Israel before they got married and after they got married," he says. "At one point, I had four of my children married in Israel.
Prior to that, when my oldest son started coming to Israel, I started to visit him. That was about 20 years ago, he was still a teenager at the time, and today he's 37. So I got involved, I started off small in the real-estate industry in Israel, a small project in Ashdod, then Beit Shemesh, and then grew bigger and bigger, and got associated with the bigger boys here in Israel."
And Israel, he insists, belongs to the Jews.
"If we go back in history thousands of years ago, Israel was the land God gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Promised Land. Now the Arabs want Palestine – it was Palestine under British rule. The reality is that the Jews always owned Israel. They got chased out, they came back, they got chased out, they came back and after the last Holocaust, they felt that they really needed a country. That was how Israel was created in 1948. Israel is here to stay unless God destroys the world."

With lots of physical activity, you usually end up with an ache or
pain. But, ice packs can be bulky to hold and leak everywhere.
Well, there may be a way sooth and cool achy backs and soar feet on your
favorite pillow. In this week's "Don't Buy It, Until We Try
It," I tried out the Chillow.
At the gym,
people are working out on ellipticals while others are lifting weights, but
after an intense work out, muscle can start to hurt.
once in awhile, we'll have an ankle roll or something just gets a little
swollen, you know, aggravated knee injuries that somebody may already
have. So, usually, that's when ice comes into play and we ice it, you
know, to make sure they don't stay swollen for very long and take some of the
pain away" says personal trainer Justine Conover.
after awhile, the ice usually melts in the Ziploc bag, causing a big mess.
"It's just kind of everything
you use is a pain in the neck."
hopefully cut down on uncomfortable ice leaks, we decided to try out the
Chillow. It sells for around $15 and promises to provide cool
It's time to
fill up the Chillow with some water. Just take off the cap and put about
6-7 cups of warm water in it. I'm going to do it over the sink, so I
don't spill. We already had about 5 in here, so I'm going to seal it
up. Now, it's ready for the fridge.
the Chillow was cool and icy, it was ready to pull out and use.
know, this side would be really nice, obviously to wipe off anything that might
get on it, especially if you're putting in your fridge. This might keep
it from sliding around at night, which might be, you know, kind of nice,
especially if you're laying it it's on this and it's not in a pillowcase,"
explains Conover.
the Chillow being larger than a traditional ice pack, you'll notice it fits
around the entire ankle easily.
"It's really cold. For the most part, it's pretty
soft. So, it would be pretty comfortable I think. It's going to ice
the whole area and not just a part of it."
it's durable too.
doesn't pop open even when you squeeze it," says Conover.
are we cool with the Chillow?
actually really like it," says Conover. "I think it may
actually be a good thing for the gym to maybe have on hand. Like if
someone ends up getting a sprain or, you know, where the swelling is almost
immediate. Just wrap them up until they can get home and take care of
themselves or see a doctor."
If you tend to get stiff necks and backs like myself, this is a
good product for you. It's easy to set up and the cool relief feels
great. To clean up, just use a little soap and a paper towel and you're
this week's "Don't Buy It Until We Try It," earns a thumbs up.

For complex reasons, our culture allows economy to mean only money economy. It equates success and even goodness with monetary profit because it lacks any other standard of measurement. I am no economist, but I venture to suggest that one of the laws of such an economy is that a farmer is worth more dead than alive.
A second law is that anything diseased is more profitable than anything that is healthy. What is wrong with us contributes more to the gross national product than what is right with us.

I have no clue how much cap space we are going to have I estimate about 18mil. The way I see it is we got so many holes we should look to sign alot of guys that are a bargain.
My Top Targets by poisitions of need:
We should add someone to take some of the load from Adrian, and have a back up plan to Gerhart being that guy. Someone on the cheap...
Earnest Graham
Chester Taylor - remember how many 3rd downs this guy would convert for us. We missed that when he left, he would really help us sustain drives.
Ronnie Brown
Mewelde Moore
if all else fails bring Booker back but id really love an upgrade, dont think you need to waist a draft pick on a RB - just too many other needs...
Brandon Lloyd - i dont think anyone is gonna give him big money and we need a guy who can stretch the field on the outside think he would be a good fit on like a 3 years deal hes only 30 last 2 years he played for 1 mil a season. Id give him 3-3.5 mil a year.
Mario Manningham
Robert Meachem
I dont see us getting Bowe, Colston, V Jax, Welker, or Desean.... take them out the WR Free Agency class is pretty weak.
Probably gotta draft at least 1 WR in rnd 2 or 3
I really hope we draft Matt Kalil would be nice to add a G
Carl Nicks would be a preety sweet addition by why woudl he come here, there is gonna be a hug market for this guy if the Saints cant sign him.
If we are not gonna resign EJ there is some good value out there
David Hawthorn - This guy is a playmaker. 1.5-2 mil a year, EJ was making 5 mil.
Id also bring back ERIN HENDERSON. Maybe use a draft pick on a LB
Our cover none defense was pathetic. 'nuff said
Keep WINFIELD cut everyone else and start over.
Tracy Porter - How are the Saints gonna keep all these guys? Hes pretty good played for 1 mil a year last year probably worth maybe as much as 4-5 mil/year.
Cortland Finnegan worth 4 mil
Brandon Carr - worth 2.5 mil
Brandon Browner - Sea to Minn, Minn to Sea... its a well traveled path 3.5 mil/ year
the pool of Safties is so weak i cant see us getting much better at saftey next year unless we get lucky somehow. Maybe move Antoine Winfield back there and add more corners....
So what you guys think?
ANyone know the exact cap number we got to spend?

By C.V. Moore
Register-Herald Reporter
Mayor Michael Martin is "somewhat troubled" by the possibility that a water line extension from the town to the Summit Bechtel Reserve could be delayed.
So far the contractor, Chojnacki Construction Inc., has not asked for a deadline extension in the form of a change order to the construction contract, but it's rumored the project is behind schedule.
Along with West Virginia American Water, the City of Mount Hope is selling water to the Boy Scout development. If the water line project is late, the town stands to lose out on some profits from the deal.
"In that case, we're not selling water and someone else is," Martin reminded fellow city council members at last Tuesday evening's meeting.
"It ends up being pretty important to the City of Mount Hope that this project be completed as close to the completion date as possible."
The original date set for completion is Feb. 15 and Zane Summerfield of Pentree Engineering reports 894 feet of pipe remains to be laid before then.
He said that Pentree, the project engineer, has "not let off any pressure for them to have it finished on time."
Virgil Kincaid of the City of Mount Hope reports a two-man crew from Chojnacki is working at the site. He says the contractor shifted some of its labor to another job and cut back at the Mount Hope project.
Council member Ernie Wickline said he hopes that when council members get a tour of the Summit site, "there will be a good cold drink of Mount Hope water up there waiting for us."
An electronic version of Mount Hope's comprehensive plan was to be ready last week, according to Mayor Martin. It is available on the city's newly-updated web site, cityofmounthope.org.
A printed version will be available at various spots in town for community members to read.
"This is Mount Hope's document. I would hope we'd get citizens reading and weighing in on it. Let us know what you think — where things need to be added or subtracted," says Martin.
The document must be recommended to council by the Mount Hope Planning Commission and then adopted by council vote before it is official.
Mount Hope Police Chief Tom Peal reports that December was a busy month for his force.
He also says he and another officer visited every classroom at Mount Hope Elementary and "deputized" each child as a member of Mount Hope Police Department.
The activity created a lot of positive reaction from the community, according to Peal.
Jessica Zukowski, a VISTA in Mount Hope, introduced herself to the city council. She is working on a Family Friendly Communities Project through December.

Global Agenda Council on Japan 2012-2014
The challenge
Japan is going through a period of transition. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office for the second time in December 2012 and committed to bringing about change in the country. Japan is struggling to overcome its shrinking economy and is still recovering from the devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011. Additionally, the country's recent relationships with China, South Korea and other nations in the Asia-Pacific region are characterized by a new phase of unstable geopolitical dynamics. At the same time, Japan's debate over its Trans-Pacific Partnership seems to be moving in a positive direction. At this juncture, Japan needs to address its economic issues, ageing population and role and relationship with relevant Asia-Pacific players.
What the Council is doing about it
At the Summit on the Global Agenda 2012 in Dubai, the Global Agenda Council on Japan proposed to work on fostering regional dialogues, highlighting Japan's best practices and lessons from the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake as well as gender parity issues. In Dubai, the Council kicked off the trilateral dialogues with the Council on Korea and the Council on China, and continued them at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2013. The three regional Councils committed to working in collaboration to solve common issues, such as mounting fiscal deficits, ageing populations and social security issues.
In addressing the gender parity issue, the Council worked closely with the Global Agenda Council on Women's Empowerment and the Forum's Japan Gender Parity Task Force, which aims to close Japan's gender gap by 10% by 2015. On the disaster management front, the Council used the Forum platform to disseminate studies of the 2011 disaster. Council Members continued their efforts to engage in informal dialogues with global leaders at the Japan Global Advisory Meeting in October 2012, Annual Meeting 2013, and Japan Meeting 2013. Participants discussed ways to rejuvenate Japan's economic and political leadership.
"Japan is struggling to overcome its shrinking economy, where Abenomics provides a new horizon while the detailed structural reform delivery is the major task moving forward."
At the Japan Meeting in June 2013, Council Members played a key role in driving the agenda for Japan's transformation. The meeting further defined the Council's direction as it tackles the geopolitical, economic and social issues facing the country. The Council will refine its direction with the new government and shape the agenda together with the Japanese multistakeholder Forum community. Informal bilateral and trilateral conversations between neighbouring countries have taken place at various Forum meetings, including at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2013 in Dalian, People's Republic of China, and the Summit on the Global Agenda 2013 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. For the remainder of the term, the Global Agenda Council on Japan will use such meetings to further its agenda and play an active advisory role to key decision-makers in the country.

Dear Rand and Janeel,
I was in late Saturday afternoon. I will get my prescription from my ophthalmologist and then will come back to order some glasses. In the interim, I just wanted to provide a compliment to you. You deserve a shout out. You provide a great customer experience. I think it was the best customer service I have experienced in years. I felt like you cared about helping me find glasses that looked good and also fit my personality and profession. I appreciated the fact that you would give honest feedback regarding the glasses versus the shape of my face, complexion etc. Finally, I loved the computer camera that allowed me to compare glasses. I didn't think it would be a big deal. Now, I feel it is the only true way to see what you look like before you buy.
Bottom line:
1. You are Great people!
2. Cutting Edge Fun Glasses
3. Shockingly affordable prices.
4. Technology that gives the customer ultimate confidence before buying.
= Exceptional Customer Service.
You two are THE BEST! I couldn't be happier with the customer service from both of you and I really appreciate you staying late to finish my glasses tonight! I will gladly spread the word! I'm thankful to have found your business online & I love your website!

If you struggle to see clearly, you know how frustrating it can be when bright sun gets added to the vision mix.

It is for this very reason that prescription sunglasses are necessary. Once you acquire a pair, you will no longer have to stress about sunny commutes around town; in fact, you will see with more clarity than ever before.

The sun's UV rays can have damaging effects on eyes — especially light-hued varieties– that are unprotected. The damage to your eyes can be catastrophic, resulting in everything from sunburned corneas to retinal harm. Not to worry, though. The proper precautions can help keep your eyes healthy and damage-free. The solution? A pair of prescription sunglasses that are equipped with UV-ray protection is one of your best defenses.

The Washington Post's Rick Maese tweets:
zorn has ruled portis out Sunday
This is hardly surprising given the severity of the concussion Portis sustained. It also wouldn't be shocking if Brian Westbrook's setback — he suffered a second concussion within three weeks after returning to the field — influences the Redskins to be more cautious with Portis.
Ladell Betts will get the start in Portis' absence when the Skins travel to Dallas on Sunday.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - 2 years ago, the bright future of Garinger High School's Elexus White seemed in jeopardy. She had fallen in with the wrong crowd and wasn't very respectful to anyone, especially herself.
"I never would have been at this point with the road that I was going on," Elexus said last Friday, on her last day as a Senior at Garinger.
But Elexus found a school counselor who helped put her on the right path. Now she's preparing to pack her bags and head off to Ohio State University in the fall.
Elexus is described by her teachers as a bright and very outgoing young woman.
"Elexus has a trait as far as relations with people, she can talk to anybody about anything. She can do just about anything she puts her mind to."
Monday morning, Elexus walked across the stage and got her diploma. She says she's proud of herself for getting to this point. As far as the future, she plans on being: A teacher, model, TV journalist, fashion designer, car designer, and possibly, if she has time, a meteorologist.

A look back at North West's predecessors.
Marc and Sofia, Karl and Choupette, Mary-Kate and Ashley — plus 47 other symbiotic unions worth celebrating.
Anna Wintour was there to witness it.
Just what we needed.
The actress and model tells us what she uses on her skin in hopes that we can all copy it and get skin like hers.
It was a good month for 'Zoolander' facial expressions, Anna Dello Russo impressions, amorphous clouds of white gas, and more.
She got a sneak peak when 'W' aged her for a shoot.
Fashion's real Night Out.
Other girls carried feather dusters or wore handcuffs.
Also, house calls for hairstylists are becoming increasingly popular.
Naomi Campbell brought her besties for a star-studded charity event and tribute to Alexander McQueen. See video.
Linda Evangelista and Kristen McMenamy used to fight backstage. And it was awesome.
But they're all still quite thin.
And gray hair is becoming popular in Britain.
Naturally, these are the last people who need that stuff anyway.

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Giants 24-21 Sunday to continue their four-game string of winning a game and losing a game.
Not since October 20 have the Cowboys been able to actually win two in a row — and they've done that only once this season.
Dallas won the game on a final drive that covered the final 4:45 of the game and gave Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo his 21st game-winning drive.
"I think you just stay at the task at hand and just think about each play," Romo said. "You go back to your film study throughout the week and just try to understand what way you think they want to attack you, stick to your guns until you see something a little different, and go do it."
"First of all, I thought it was a great drive," said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. "That's really when you separate yourself as a quarterback, as an offensive football team, and as a team in general."
Romo's game-winning came with his 103rd start as Cowboys quarterback. It tied him former Dallas QB Troy Aikman, who also had 21 game-winning drives. Aikman, however, had a better team, and therefore didn't have to bring his team back as often.
Aikman's 21 come-from-behind wins came after 165 starts.
By comparison, former Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach had 23 come-from-behind wins in 144 starts.
Romo's final drive came after New York had tied the game on a four-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Louis Murphy Jr. A two-point conversion run by Andre Brown tied the game at 21-all before Romo brought the Cowboys back.
Romo said his experience paid off. "You've just got to go and score, get a field goal or touchdown to win the game," he said. "I think you either feel comfortable in those situations or you don't. Through all the experiences and the times that you've put yourself in that position, you feel good. I just think you go out and do it."
"It was an important win for us," Garrett added. "Anytime you come up on the road against a division opponent and win a ball game like this, it's a big win."
"I think everybody understood how important this football game was for both teams," Romo said. "They had won four games in a row and had put themselves back in position. You could tell by their words they were confident leading up to it and that's what makes the game great."
Dallas ended the Giants' four-game winning streak and made their challenge of reaching the playoffs more difficult.
For the day, Romo completed 23 of 38 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns. He also had one interception.
"When you look at the critical moments and you make the stops, and you make the plays, you convert when you need to and you make the big kick at the end, that's a good win for your team — particularly on the road in these kind of conditions," Garrett said.
Dan Bailey's 35-yard field goal on the final play of the game was the difference.
The victory moved the Cowboys (6-5) into a first-place tie with idle Philadelphia in the NFC East and left the Giants (4-7) wondering about what they gave away in two losses to Dallas.

I went to Davenport, Iowa, last week to see the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Low-A farm team for the Minnesota Twins) play the Quad Cities River Bandits (Low-A affiliate for the Houston Astros). The CR team is particularly loaded with prospects. Quad Cities has talent as well, although unfortunately the two best hitters on the team, Carlos Correa and Rio Ruiz, were injured and on the disabled list during my trip. A rainout interfered and I also missed Lance McCullers, but I still came away with some interesting information and observations to share with you. We'll get this started with a solo report on Minnesota Twins uber-prospect Byron Buxton.
As you are no doubt aware, Buxton was drafted by the Twins in the first round last June, second overall, from high school in Baxley, Georgia. He was considered to be the top position player prospect in the draft by many experts, featuring outstanding overall tools including speed, power potential, a strong arm, and excellent overall athleticism. There was some muted concern in high school about how his swing would translate into pro ball; his production against weak competition as a prep was uneven, but his upside was so high that most observers didn't particularly care and it was felt that his problems were correctable. If his power blossomed, he could develop into an Andrew McCutchen-style across the board star. If his bat proved troublesome, he might be more of a Cameron Maybin type.
Buxton hit .216/.324/.466 in 27 games in the Gulf Coast League last summer, followed by a .286/.368/.429 mark in 21 games in the Appalachian League, combining for 19 walks and 41 strikeouts in 165 at-bats. That wasn't bad at all, especially considering that the Twins were spending a lot of time reworking his swing. The results this spring have been outstanding: .352/.458/.608 in 33 games for Cedar Rapids, with 25 walks and 29 strikeouts in 125 at-bats. He has also stolen 13 bases in 19 attempts.
Born December 18, 1993, Buxton is a right-handed hitter listed at 6-2, 190. The height/weight looks accurate visually: he wasn't a beast on the field in terms of size. The athleticism, on the other hand, does stand out: he's loose and a bit lanky, but moves with ease and grace at all times.
I knew he was fast, with at least 70-speed, but he still took me by surprise. In the first inning, he hit a routine ground ball to the third baseman. It was a normal play, the third baseman made a normal scoop and made a normal, on-time, on target throw to first base. Buxton beat the throw for a single; I literally said "holy shit" out loud. There are reports that he's been timed at 3.70 down the first base line and I completely believe it. He's almost as fast as Cincinnati Reds prospect Billy Hamilton.
Buxton was not challenged on any fielding play in center field in the game I saw, so I didn't see his legs or arm fully tested. However, he appeared alert and active in the field, backed up the infielders properly, and looked very good in pre-game outfield drills. Scouts give his range and arm plus ratings and I didn't see anything to make me question that.
Buxton didn't have a great game with the bat, going 1-for-4 with that infield single, a walk, and two strikeouts. He was very selective early in the count and is developing a very good batting eye, but both strikeouts came on sliders outside the strike zone that he'll need to lay off at higher levels. His bat was quick and his swing was compact, but despite the outstanding numbers he's put up this season, in this particular game the ball did not jump off his bat with much authority.
His swing looked level to me, and if I didn't know who he was, I don't know I would see him as a huge future home run hitter based on just this one game. He looked like a guy who would hit for average with doubles power, but like I said, it was just one game and I didn't see anything that would be a red flag that his overall numbers are a fluke. Midwest League sources who have seen him play frequently buy into him completely.
I paid a lot of attention to his body language before and during the game. He looked like he was having a good time, but also appeared focused and serious when appropriate. Buzz about his makeup is positive, and I didn't see anything to make me doubt that. He hustled and did everything he was supposed to do when he was supposed to do it.
There is a lot of speculation about when the Twins should move Buxton up to High-A. Based on what I saw Wednesday, he still has a few things to learn in the Midwest League. The Twins usually don't rush their prospects, and I don't see the harm in leaving him in Cedar Rapids for another month or so.
Overall, although it wasn't one of his best games, I came away from the Quad Cities very impressed with Buxton. He's the real deal and clearly one of the best prospects in the game. I was a bit cautious with his ranking on my initial Top 150 Prospects for 2013 back in March, ranking him 37th. I'd jump him up at least 25 spots right now and probably more, into the Top 10. As other players graduate off the list, Buxton will likely be in the Top Five.

2013 Domaine de Pavillon de Chavannes Cote du Brouilly Cuvee des Ambassades
"Clear and glistening, the Côte de Brouilly of the Domain releases with air contact subtle red fruit perfumes on which it has been working during its sleeping year. Inside the mouth, it develops its tender and delicate aromas to leave to the palate a keen and constant souvenir of Beaujolais delicacy. The strength of its temper resides in its balance that shows its ability to bring lightness and firmness at the same time. At its second year, the Côte de Brouilly of the Domain gains in firmness. It continues to develop itself all through the following years, by performing its temper and its personality. Yet, it remains a very subtle a delicate wine, somehow surprising when consumed during the first year."

Social Work Application & Information
The Social Work Program requires that students who wish to work toward their undergraduate social work degree be admitted to the major through a separate admissions process. The social work admissions process is described here, along with all of the materials you will need to submit to the program. Please review all of these materials carefully. It is important for you to note that the social work program is a four-semester program of study that begins in the fall semester. The Division of Social Work offers both day and night time programs to accommodate traditional and non-traditional students' schedules.
The primary social work admissions period is in the spring semester prior to your junior year. However, admissions applications are accepted on a year-round basis and some social work courses may be taken as electives prior to completion of 60 semester hours.
Please look over all of the program admission materials. Review the social work admissions steps and then return all of the required forms to the social work division; you may also give the forms to any member of the social work faculty. If you have any questions about the program, course prerequisites, or the social work admissions process, please contact us at 229-226-1621.
Bill Milford, MSW ext.123
Susan Fowler, MSW, LCSW, Ed.D, ext. 1125
Debra Gresham, MSW, Ph.D ext. 221

4. current / past transcripts sent to the Thomas University Registrar (including a current degree audit from the Registrar)
All these materials must be submitted before your social work application can be accepted. Your application will be evaluated by the faculty on five criteria:
1. your overall GPA;
2. your grades while at Thomas University (if applicable);
3. the quality of your social work admissions essay;
4. your professional and/or academic references; and
5. your interview (or other experience with faculty).
To be admitted to the social work undergraduate program, you must have a GPA of 2.5 or above and should be a junior by the start of the fall semester. However, some social work courses may be taken as electives prior to completion of 60 semester hours.
Transfer students who have taken courses from another accredited college or university must consult with the social program faculty and the university registrar about how credit will transfer.
Social work applications are taken year round. However, first semester courses for the major are offered fall semester only. Please give your application packet to the social work faculty.
How do I apply to the Division of Social Work at Thomas University?
Currently, there two options to apply to the program. Choose the method that is most comfortable. If you have questions, feel free to contact email@example.com and a reply email will follow.
- Complete a short form Web Based Application (we will send you a follow-up email for completing the social work admissions statement and the two references);

Fresh from his recent CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund win, Joseph Altuzarra takes another lap around the winner's circle with his exquisite Fall 2012 collection, replete with small coins adorning everything from cummerbund belts to strong-shouldered jackets. I wonder if he's trying to remind us of his triumphant win in November by embellishing his pieces with effects reminiscent of tiny gold and silver medals? Who needs jewelry when you can wear these pieces? Printed with a red, orange and yellow Moroccan Berber carpet pattern, the sonorous drama of these looks excite several of our senses.
Taking a small break from the Eastern and North African aesthetics he channels at the start of the show, Altuzarra proposes ashen black dresses, quickly moving to heather gray and navy separates with the restrained detail of military structuring, complemented by the whimsical mirrored puff-ball-adorned embroidery decorating a selection of sweaters.
The mood of luxurious excess continues with a few black and white geometric printed knits (a cross between ikat and fairisle patterns,) uplifted with generous serving of white fur.
This is an exciting, assured offering from Altuzarra. I love the barely hampered flamboyance of the collection. It's ornamental indeed, still each look promises to flatter and not overwhelm the wearer.
Are you feeling Altuzarra's Fall collection?

I do like that its orientated-based. I do feel like they were a bit overpowering.
I am loving the knee high boots and the african style inspiration! They all hit a high note and the colors blend in very well with the overall theme.
I much prefer the later half of the show. All of the coin-embellished pieces are a bit much.
I could work with it!!! loving the outerwear and prints!!!!
Im in love with the first model!

CATEGORIES Independent, Distribution, Obits, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalWhen Independent Digital Entertainment (InDigEnt) was founded in 1999, DV filmmaking was still fairly new, although not unknown or unused. The problem was that it wasn't yet recognized and respected enough to be taken seriously in the film market. This was three years before George Lucas delivered the DV-shot Attack of the Clones and changed many minds about the capability of digital cinematography. Today, a great percentage of indie and Hollywood features are made digitally, and InDigEnt may be somewhat obsolete. It comes as no surprise, then, that co-founder Gary Winick has announced the production company will be put to rest come 2007.
Winick, who directed the upcoming Charlotte's Web, got the idea for InDigEnt from the Dogma 95 movement and started the company with John Sloss as a way for indie filmmakers to finance small, cheap projects. Many of the movies produced by InDigEnt aren't too appealing to the eye, but a few of them were great showcases for actors, such as Aaron Stanford, who broke out by appearing in Winick's Tadpole, and Patricia Clarkson, who received an Oscar nod for Pieces of April. But while the company started off well, gaining notice for decent pics like Tadpole, Pieces of April, Personal Velocity: Three Portraits and Richard Linklater's Tape, it eventually fell to near-obscurity with forgettable titles, such as Kill the Poor, Puccini for Beginners and Steve Buscemi's Lonesome Jim (which I still say is hilarious, if not substantial).
Buscemi, who voiced a character in Charlotte's Web, and Winick both blame Hollywood for InDigEnt's demise. They claim the studios are more interested in using their specialty divisions, which otherwise serve as distributors for little films, to produce modestly budgeted "indie" pictures like Brokeback Mountain and Capote. "They want the $8 million film to make $100 million instead of the $1 million to make $10 (million)," Winick said to reporters Sunday.
Of course, Winick can't speak too unfavorably of the studio machine. In addition to Charlotte's Web, he directed 13 Going on 30, but hasn't done anything small and "indie" since Tadpole. Charlotte's Web reportedly took more than two years to make, and it therefore took Winick's attention away from InDigEnt. He will be heading to Sundance next month as producer of the final InDigEnt feature, Starting Out in the Evening, which is Andrew Wagner's follow-up to his wonderful debut, The Talent Given Us. Winick's next directorial job, though, may be another studio pic, a family comedy with his Charlotte's Web star, Dakota Fanning.
Hopefully Winick will return to something as interesting as Tadpole again. At the Charlotte's Web premiere, he defended his balance between Hollywood and Indiewood to The Reeler, saying, "Soderbergh does it, Linklater does it -- I'm following good people." But Winick hasn't returned to DV as a director yet, and with InDigEnt closing shop, it seems as though he may never go back.

I made this for a Christmas Eve family party and it got rave reviews from everyone! This is the BEST punch recipe I've found anywhere. It's so easy, and VERY tasty. Family members requested the recipe so they could make it when they got home! I did try it a second time and used green tea rather than regular tea, and it was just as good, and it kept the light color as in the picture.

Women's Ghost 7
Product Actions
Additional Information
The Ghost 7 is a triple threat of balance, cushion, and lightweight materials. Hitting the sweet spot for millions of runners, this neutral running shoe for women gives you the stuff to kick back for miles on end, or lean in and pick up the pace. We've maintained the horseshoe-shaped crash pad, full ground contact, and omega grooves in the forefoot for the super-smooth heel-to-toe transition runners love. We've improved the multi-award-winning Ghost by making it smoother and lighter. BioMoGo DNA in the midsole offers adaptive cushioning while staying more flexible. Bigger lugs in the forefoot make the Ghost feel more responsive as you run. And the look?

Extended Library Hours
The Student Senate commonly provides funding in order to extend the operating hours of the library during the week of final examinations each semester.
The Society of Distinguished Graduates
This program was created to honor graduating seniors. The award is the highest recognition given to graduates by the student body. This award is intended to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of those seniors who have made significant contributions to the Hill.
Open Forum

Transcript Voucher Pilot Program
The Student Government Association has arranged with the Office of the Registrar to provide students with vouchers that can be redeemed for free official transcripts. This idea was born out of the rising costs of tuition and fees and aims to reduce the financial burden on each student. To get a voucher or to learn more about the program, stop by the SGA office.
WKUOffCampus.com Housing Project
WKUOffCampus.com is a special project of the WKU SGA. It has its origins with SGA President Kevin Smiley. WKUOC was born from the idea that students should have resources available to help them find reliable, safe, and affordable housing alternatives to campus housing. WKUOffCampus.com provides an opportunity for housing providers in the Bowling Green area to post listings, so students can make informed decisions regarding offcampus housing.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Dec. 30 at Riplinger Funeral Home, Spokane, followed by a graveside service at 1 p.m. at Spokane Memorial Gardens for former Riverside teacher James R. Gady, 78, who passed away on Dec. 26.
Born on Aug. 18, 1933 in Spokane, he graduated from Mead High School and served with the Army Corps of Engineers as a sergeant in the Korean War. After returning from Korea, he married Marjorie Becker on Oct. 12, 1956.
He attended Whitworth College and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. He then taught in the Riverside and Mead School districts.
It is understandable if Riverside head boys basketball coach KC Ahrens has a flashback to his teenage years when the Rams face Columbia-Burbank on Friday as part of the Sun Dome Shootout.
The Coyotes are coached by D.J. Traver, a teammate of Ahrens at Riverside in the mid-1990s.
Traver, a member of the Rams' 1993 state championship football team, would eventually move to the Tri-Cities and graduate from River View High School.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Dec. 31 at Peaceful Valley Church on Allen Road in Elk for longtime Elk resident Harry Bland, 72, who passed away on Dec. 20
Family graveside services will be held at Fairmount Memorial Park.
Born on May 27, 1939, in Ardmore, Pa., to Dr. George W. and Helen Bland, he served in the U.S. Air Force from August 1961-65. He worked for Camp Chevrolet for 30 years.
Mr. Bland attended Peaceful Valley Church and enjoyed family, friends, and the great outdoors.
He was preceded in death by one son, Brad.
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers' district may get a little smaller, according to the latest proposal submitted by the Washington Redistricting Commission on Dec. 28.
The commission is charged with carving up the state into 10 Congressional districts, one more district than the last redistricting effort 10 years ago.
To make room for the new district, which will sit mostly in Thurston and Pierce counties under the latest plan, the other districts underwent geographical reconfigurations to ensure each one had approximately 672,450 residents.
A funeral mass was celebrated on Dec. 28 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Wenatchee for former Deer Park resident Jim D. Pleger, 72, who passed away on Dec. 22.
A 1957 Deer Park High School graduate, he was a business owner and independent truck driver and also worked in sales at a Ford dealership in Newport. He was part owner of Papas Trucking in Malaga, Wash.
He married Janet K. Pehling on May 5, 1962.
The couple lived in Newport until 1982. They lived in Malaga for 18 years before moving to Wenatchee.
His wife, Janet, predeceased him on July 27, 2011.
Updated 5 p.m. on Dec. 27
Spokane County Sheriff's deputies are trying to determine the cause of a one-vehicle accident on Dec. 25 that took the life of Bradley J. Updegrove, 45-year-old Deer Park man.
The fatal crash occurred around 9 p.m. at the north 27800 block of Cedar Road (just south of Owens Road). A motorist driving by the area found a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche crashed against a tree. Deputies found the driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, without a pulse. Shortly after medics arrived on the scene and pronounced him dead.
Deer Park's Jesse Molina has seen both sides of the Mat Classic and he doesn't need to be reminded on which one he likes best.
The 132-pound junior earned a berth to the state wrestling championship in his freshman season, but was forced to watch last year's proceedings as a spectator after not getting past the regional round.
"It takes a lot of work to get there (the Mat Classic)," Molina said.
A wrestler since his grade school days, Molina is prepared to get a closer look at the Tacoma Dome than last year view as a spectator.
Area churches will celebrate the holidays with various Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.
The Deer Park Open Door Congregational Church at N205 Main St. will hold Christmas Eve services at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. along with its traditional 9:30 a.m. Sunday service.
St. Mary's Presentation Catholic Church at E602 Sixth St. will hold Christmas masses at 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Dec. 24 and 9 a.m. on Christmas Day.
Alice Caroline Adair, 72, passed away on Dec 6, 2011.
She is survived by a daughter, Caroline; granddaughter, Kjersty; great-grandson, Craig; brother, Basil; three nieces, Raeanne, Caroline and Corinne; and several great- and great-great nephews and nieces.
Alice was a lifetime member of the Inland Empire Philatelic Society, current member of the Clayton Grange and Deer Park TOPS No. 485.
Alice held an associate's degree in accounting and spent 15 years as an entrepreneur owning The Junque' Shoppe & Budget Motel Supply in Spokane.
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission has approved an Avista Corp. rate hike request, just not in the amount the company requested.
The three-member commission agreed to let Avista collect an additional $23.7 million in electric and natural gas revenues starting on Jan. 1. The company had requested an additional $44.5 million when it made its rate hike application last spring.

Still no overseas exodus for locked-out Heat players
By Ethan J. Skolnick
As has been stated previously on this blog, while it sounded good for many players to say they would go overseas during the lockout, it was something else altogether for them to take such a leap — and to deal with the travel, family and lifestyle issues that often come with foreign sports employment.
Now that the NBA season appears unlikely to start until January, if at all, this would be the time we'd start hearing about more players signing European, Asian or South American contracts.
Instead, it seems the Heat's core will stay home.
LeBron James has already made it clear he's not itching to sign elsewhere. Dwyane Wade spoke some about it at first, but later backed off and, with two young sons in his care, never appeared to be the ideal candidate. Chris Bosh told reporters from The Associated Press and Sun-Sentinel on Tuesday night — while attending the University of Miami basketball game — that he wasn't seriously considering it at this point.
Today, I spoke to someone close to Mario Chalmers, who told me that Chalmers — a restricted free agent whenever NBA activity resumes — is more focused on his charity game on Dec. 1st, and doesn't have any interest in pursuing anything else at this time.
Mike Miller told me during the playoffs, and Udonis Haslem told me at a charity event this offseason, that they would think about it, not because they needed the money, but because they would both miss playing if the lockout lingered too long.
My guess, however, is that both will stay put too.

vacation rental description
Our condos are a wonderful example of Savannah architecture and living. They are located at 201 West Liberty Street (at the intersection of Barnard and Liberty Streets and just one block West of the geographic center of the Historic District and are available for both short-term and long-term rental. Each 1000 square foot- non smoking - condo rental is located on the third floor (walk up) with no guests above you for additional privacy.
Our Savannah condos offer soaring ceilings and Savannah heart pine flooring. Large windows offer a great view and lots of light but also privacy since the units are on the third floor. Each has a large private bath with Jacuzzi jetted tub which is great after long walks in one of America's "Most Walkable Cities." Each has a fully furnished kitchen (with combo microwave/convection oven and separate cooktop) which gives you the opportunity to cook your own meals or take advantage of several wonderful restaurants in the immediate area. Each unit is non smoking and offers one king size bed and one pull out sofa. Wireless High Speed Internet is also available.
The Bird Baldwin House is a short walk from the Savannah Visitor's Center where you can pick up a guided tour trolley or learn more about the activities Savannah has to offer. One complimentary off street - onsite parking is included in your rental. These cozy condos offer all you need for a couple of days or a couple of months. Live like a true Savannahian... If only for a short while!
Both condos are located at the corner of West Liberty Street and Barnard Street. Orleans Square is one block South and Pulaski Square is 1/2 block North. They are located close to SCAD student dorms on Oglethorpe and are directly across from the Savannah Civic Center, the site of SCAD graduation. Great for visits from SCAD parents!
The condos are furnished with all bed linens and bath terry. They are also stocked with extra pillows and blankets. We always take in to account the number of guests and length of stay and try to leave plenty of bath terry & linen. Please notify us when making your reservation if you plan to use the pullout sofa. Of course we ask that you reuse bath terry whenever possible. For extended stays we will drop off clean bath terry and pick up soiled terry. Due to such a wide variety of personal preference, we are unable to provide personal hygiene items like face soap, bath soap, shampoo or conditioner. Please bring these items with you.
These condo units are locally owned and operated. When you call or email for information you are speaking with the owners, not a management company who oversees hundreds of units. We are in these units between each guest visit to ensure that they are clean and well maintained. When we have family and friends visit Savannah, they stay here.
We have over 35 years combined hospitality experience. We spent over a year looking for a condo that offered all the key touchpoints that we know, from experience, visitors to Savannah need and expect. A great location that is easy to find for first time visitors (we are less than two blocks west of the geographic center of the Historic District), off street parking, a historically significant building (built in 1838), original doors and heart pine flooring, comfortable furnishings including a large king bed with high-end mattress and box spring (no thin worn out mattresses), a very large jacuzzi and a fully equipped kitchen with all utensils and pots and pans. Each unit has a coffee maker but we do not provide filters or coffee. Those items can be purchased locally. These are truly great condo units available at very competitive rates.
