Which Came First, the Good Chemistry or the Winning?
This story paints the upcoming season for the Cubs as a grand experiment in valuing clubhouse chemistry over paint-by-numbers talent. The team is essentially the same sans a poor-performing Milton Bradley. Silva has performed much better than expected this spring, and is healthy. Of course that complicates my "chemistry experiment" line of thought, somewhat. If Silva performs as an even slightly-better-than-average 5th starter, that outweighs the contributions of what was subtracted. Then again, his addition to the team would've decreased any win projections for the club because his recent history indicates a worse addition than the subtraction of Bradley. Projections aside, the players quoted in this article cite clubhouse energy/enthusiasm as an important factor---players pulling for each other as a vector for increased on-the-field performance. I'm thinking that any chemical addition-by-subtraction argument might only be made in terms of offense since Byrd probably projects as a wash with even an average Bradley. But if the team's offensive numbers improve, then maybe there's something to this whole "chemistry thing." - TL
In light of all the intangibles discussions here over the last few days, the folks at Baseball Analysts try to measure clubhouse chemistry.
After years of being seen as a one-dimensional slugger with a bad attitude, Adam Dunn is now being hailed in some quarters as a team leader. What is at the root of this image change?
In thinking about OBP and current or prospective Royals players, perhaps we should think more about the virtues of near-HOFer Andre Dawson. Perhaps having a few Dawsons is what Dayton Moore sees when he pursues a line-up of mixed OBP guys? Here's an interesting quote from Rosenthal: Among more recently elected Hall of Famers, Eddie Murray was at .359, Reggie Jackson .356 and Dave Winfield .353 — OBPs that would not rank them among the top 50 active players. Meanwhile, Ryne Sandberg was at .344, Robin Yount .342, Cal Ripken .340 and Gary Carter .335 — not that much better than Dawson. - TL

By LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — CROWN POINT — The issue of who will handle cases for recused Crown Point Town Justice Arthur S. Miclette is expected be solved by court night Thursday, town officials say.
Miclette, 59, of Crown Point was arrested by State Police last week and charged with misdemeanor criminal possession of stolen property, for allegedly having tools missing from Champlain Valley Technical Educational Center in Mineville at his automobile repair business.
He stepped down as justice after the arrest, saying he would resume his post when he was cleared of the charge.
Miclette is the sole Town Court justice.
On Tuesday, Crown Point Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said they haven't contracted with another official to cover Crown Point's cases. The State Office of Court Administration will handle that, he said.
The next Crown Point Town Justice Court session is at 5 p.m. Thursday. Court has not been canceled, Harrington said, and is expected to be held with another justice on the bench.
"I am going to make myself knowledgeable about this issue before it's over," Harrington said. "There are qualified individuals who fill in as local justices, almost like circuit riders, and the Office of Court Administration will probably go that route."
Miclette held court once a week, Harrington said, starting at 5 p.m. in the Town Hall at 17 Monitor Bay Park.
The Office of Court Administration did not return calls from the Press-Republican on Tuesday.

Holmes agrees Preston deal
10:00am Tuesday 29th May 2012 in Sport
LEE Holmes has agreed a two-year contract with League One side Preston.
The winger will officially move to Deepdale on July 1 after his current Saints deal expires.
Holmes was informed earlier this month that he would not be kept on at St Mary's, and was free to look for another club.
The 25-year-old said: "When you pull up at the ground, straight away you see a fantastic stadium. The feeling around the club at the minute it is hard not to feel that you want to be a part of it."
"I am really excited and it is great to be a part of what is going on at Preston North End."
Holmes had ended the season on loan at League Two outfit Swindon, who he helped gain promotion into the third tier. Before that, he had a short spell at Oxford United.
In total, Holmes made 43 appearances for Saints, scoring three times.

It just couldn't last for Ole Miss. At the half, the Runnin' Rebels were tied with the Auburn Tigers in what could have been considered a minor miracle at the time. But the dream ended quickly, much like ripping off a band-aid, as the Tigers reeled off 24 unanswered points, putting away Ole Miss with ease.
Clint Moseley completed just passes, but four of them went for touchdowns. Michael Dyer picked up a game-high 187 yards and a touchdown to compliment Moseley. Philip Lutzenkirchen caught two touchdown passes, with Quindarius Carr and Emory Blake each adding one.
Brandon Bolden rushed for two touchdowns in the loss. Randall Mackey hit Nickolas Brassell as time expired in the fourth quarter, giving Ole Miss some kind of moral victory.
The final score at Jordan-Hare: Auburn 41, Ole Miss 23.

Won't you join us at 8:30 p.m. ET (ish) for the BCS National Championship Game between the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide? Even if you're able to catch the game on ESPN (also: radio info), we'll still be around to provide stats, updates, commentary on highlights, and probably not any spoilers. There will be only like one touchdown. OK, so not many spoilers.
In the meantime, here's a fine assemblage of preview reading, as there's really no point in doing anything that's not college football with the rest of your day.
How's this game work? Here's Bill Connelly with what we can learn from the first go-round, and here's Vegas trying to make heads or tails of the whole thing (also: everyone likes prop bets).
I have questions about bowl game things. SI.com's Holly Anderson has been running an excellent series of bowl FAQs, which conclude with this title game breakdown.
Will anybody score a touchdown? SI.com's Andy Staples has the prescription for just that. It'll probably go differently than it did in 1964, when multiple touchdowns were scored.
Shouldn't there be a playoff instead? Well, yes, especially since, as Samuel Chi notes, it's hard to pick a great No. 2 team, but Bill C. suggests you just hush and enjoy it. Bomani Jones blasphemes further: the BCS got it right. But SI.com's Stewart Mandel notes your opinion is probably shaded by whether your team's here or not.
Who am I supposed to root for? Spencer Hall just comes right out and says it, while Andrew Sharp's report from the scene may make you just root for the entire city of New Orleans. Even if it does contain Harvey Updyke.
But I'm an Alabama fan. That's what Alabama blog Roll Bama Roll is for!
But I'm a LSU fan. Then you should be off to LSU blog And the Valley Shook.

Westminster Christian's Christina Cusumano drives around four Elgin defenders Tuesday. | Jon Cunningham~For Sun-Times Media
It's one championship down and another still to accomplish this week for the Westminster Christian girls basketball team.
The Warriors closed out a 4-0 run through the first Elgin City Classic Tuesday by seizing control from the start against Elgin for a 62-30 victory and a tournament title. Now it's on to a Friday night showdown for the Northeast Athletic Conference title against Christian Liberty and possibly the first ever school conference girls sports title.
"We actually were calling this championship week," Westminster coach Ken Flickinger said. "It's kind of like on ESPN. It's just a little early for us. We want to make sure we can say this later on in the [post]season."
The Warriors (14-4) had exploded out of the gates last week in three tourney wins, and Flickinger stressed more of the same.
"As good as we were last week, there was just kind of a worry that there was going to be a letdown, but they came out in the first quarter and played good basketball," Flickinger said. "So that kind of set the tone for us."
Freshman Maddie Versluys took over at the outset near the basket, scoring 13 of her game-high 19 points while hauling down three rebounds and making a steal as the Warriors jetted out to a 22-4 lead after a quarter and never led by less than 11 again. They dominated in the paint and turned it into a quick blowout.
"She works really well without the ball," Flickinger said of Versluys. "She works really hard. When she gets the ball she pretty much thinks that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and goes right to the rim."
A 14-of-24 first-half shooting from the field (58 percent) reflected how close Westminster shot to the basket as the paint became Warriors property.
"We ran a lot of fast breaks, so that's what really pushed the tempo," said Westminster guard McKaila Hays, who scored 10 points and made three steals.
The Maroons played without point guard Maggie Powers due to illness, and when post player Tamara Milosevic got into quick foul trouble, Elgin was hard-pressed to put together much offense against the Warriors pressure. Elgin had 21 first-half turnovers in falling behind 35-19 by halftime.
"We had kids playing out of position," Elgin coach Nick Bumbales said, referring to the loss of Powers. "But that's no excuse. We've still got to take care of the ball. And we didn't do a very good job of that.
"They're a very good team. They played well and they beat our butts."
Westminster had a few anxious moments late in the second quarter as Elgin (6-14) cut the 22-4 deficit to 28-17, but then Hays exploded with three straight buckets, two off fast break layups, and the Warriors never looked back.
Claire Speiwek had eight points for Westmister, while Elgin got seven from Melanie Berg and six from Anna Eckholm, Abby Pierre-Louis, and Kristin Tayag.
"I'd like to thank the school's athletic directors for making this possible and I think it's something that's going to go on for a long time," said Bumbales, whose came up with the idea for the round robin tournament of all-Elgin schools and sold it. The tourney still has two games to go Friday night at Elgin.
Earlier, Larkin got 17 points from Quixmia Washington and also supported her with nine points from Amber McGhee and eight from Shawndrea Hill in a 47-16 victory over Elgin Academy (8-10). The victory ended a 10-game losing streak for the Royals (2-17).
"Q [Washington] works hard and Shawndrea and Sky Evans (7 points) really worked hard together and gave her help tonight," Larkin coach Ruben Flores said. "It's good to get the monkey off our backs and now we have to go on and have a tough week or two coming up."
Larkin outscored the Hilltoppers 15-2 in the second quarter and turned it quickly into a blowout.

There will be no carnival rides at this year's Fourth of July celebration in downtown Parkville.
This comes after the rides failed electrical and mechanical inspections.
It was supposed to be a fun-filled night Wednesday on the first day of the festival. The Ferris wheel is the main attraction for carnival fans, but now it won't be part of the festivities at all.
"I think it is pretty ridiculous that they bring this big carnival here, and it doesn't pass inspection," Matt Tuso said.
Matt and Kristen Tuso found about the rides being shut down after they arrived at the carnival.
The decision was made Wednesday afternoon after the fire department and the Department of Public Safety said the rides were unsafe.
"There were a number of violations that were cited, and the consensus was the best course of action would be not to have the carnival for this event," Parkville city administrator Lauren Palmer said.
Palmer said the city went with a different vendor this year because the one they normally use had a scheduling conflict.
The rides started coming down Thursday after the safety inspection showed a host of concerns.
"Burnt panels, burnt wiring inside the rides, loose connections, just hazardous," said electrician Mario Marra, who assisted with the electrical portion of this week's surprise spot inspection.
When asked about the potential worst-case scenarios with the problems Marra saw, he replied, "Someone could get electrocuted and killed."
The mechanical violations for Bluff City Shows were just as concerning. On the Kiddie Carousel the seat belts did not function properly. On the Dragon Ride the seats were not securely attached to the ride.
On the roller coaster a section of metal roofing on the car was rusted through on three of four sides.
As to why the inspection didn't happen earlier, Palmer said it's because the carnival travels and organizers had little time to set up the rides. The inspections can only be done after that happens, and it left little time to make the necessary repairs.
"Given the timing with the holiday weekend, we just weren't confident there would be enough time to address those issues," Palmer said.
"I got to Park University up the street, and a couple of my friends have kids and the kids really enjoy the rides, so that kind of just took a little bit away from it. But during the day, you still got some nice things here, you know," said Denzel Cook, a Parkville resident.
Despite the shutdown, some are looking on the bright side.
"The games are still going," Kristen Tuso said.
There are also plenty of options for nostalgia and food worth the tummy aches.
"I'd have to go with any type of ice cream would be my favorite type of carnival food, yeah, for sure," said Jon Flaucher of Smithville.
Flaucher's wife added that she likes funnel cake or anything fried.
As for Bluff City Shows, the owner said from its home turf in Fisk, MO, that they've been in business for 47 years with no accidents.
In her words, "We've never had anything like this happen before. It's embarrassing."
Besides the food and games that are still operational, all the other events for Friday are on as planned. They include the parade, the pancake breakfast and the fireworks.
KCTV5 asked the state for annual inspection records going back several years, but have only received this year's so far.

Physical Activities for Improving Children's Learning and Behavior
A Guide to Sensory Motor Development
|ExRx.net > Store > Children > Book
Billye Ann Cheatum
Allison A Hammond
US Price: $27.95
360 pages
About the Authors | Table of Contents | Words of Praise
Fewer things cause more concern for teachers and parents than to be told that a child has a learning problem or behavior disorder. It is even more difficult when no specific cause or reason for the problem is given. Physical Activities for Improving Children's Learning and Behavior can help you identify underlying causes for a child's difficulty and discover fun-filled activities that can greatly help them.
Authors Cheatum and Hammond, who together have worked in the special physical education field for more than 40 years, explain the complexities of sensory motor development in easily understood language. And they include more than 130 photos and illustrations of developmental processes and activities to help you understand and implement the information presented.
Interwoven throughout the book are 99 physical activities and games designed to help reduce the effects of sensory motor problems. All activities can be used in the classroom or at home and require little or no equipment.
Whether a child shows signs of clumsiness, motor skills below age level, or hyperactivity, Cheatum provides activities proven to help them be successful in and out of the classroom!
Dr. Billye Ann Cheatum has spent some 30 years devoting her life to the needs of children and adults with disabilities. She received her PhD in Physical and Special Education from Texas Woman's University in 1965 and has worked at Western Michigan University as an advisor of gerontology specialists, Coordinator of Special Physical Education, Special Physical Education instructor, and director of three disability laboratories.
Throughout her career, Cheatum received almost $2 million in federal grants. Part of the grant money was used to create SPELL (Special Physical Education Learning Laboratory). Located at WMU, this lab offers no-cost assessments of children and adults with special needs, individualized treatment programs, and follow-up. Federal funds also assist in providing laboratories for at-risk infants and toddlers and children exposed to drugs in utero. Cheatum has also published two books as well as a children's disabilities booklet with Dr. Hammond for the Michigan State Department. Now retired, she enjoys sailing, swimming, and snorkeling in her hometown of Kalamazoo, MI.
Allison A. Hammond is a sensory motor development specialist who provides sensory motor development programs to children through her private practice, The ResponsAble Child Clinic. She has received two master's degrees in adapted physical education as well as an EdD in Education Leadership with an emphasis in Special Physical Education. During Hammond's educational years as coordinator of the laboratories at Western Michigan University, she evaluated and planned special physical education programs for hundreds of children with a wide variety of disabilities including mental impairment, cerebral palsy, and learning disabilities.
Hammond has conducted numerous workshops and presentations concerning sensory motor development for parents. She has also trained teachers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and administrators on the subject. Hammond currently lives with her husband Michael in Kalamazoo, MI.
Cheatum and Hammond have taken the scientific confusion out of understanding sensory motor development and the sensory systems. This is a must-read for those who are told their child or student has a behavior or learning problem!
Ariel L. H. Anderson, PhD, Professor, Western Michigan University
As stated in the preface of this publication, it was the authors' intention to write an easy-to-read book for parents and educators about children with learning and behavioral problems and include physical activities to improve their sensory motor development. The authors meet this requirement in an outstanding manner. The tips for sensory motor development programs are very applicable for the target group of readers. Furthermore, the authors cover a wide range of problems of the sensory system, and in this respect the book provides an interesting summary and good guide to sensory motor development with suggestions for correcting possible difficulties.
Gudrun M. Doll-Tepper, PhD, Professor, Free University of Berlin
Physical Activities for Improving Children's Learning and Behavior Problems: A Guide to Sensory Motor Development provides teachers and parents with a comprehensive approach to working with children who have learning or behavior problems-special attention is given to promoting sensory motor development.
Jean L. Pyfer, PhD, Dean of Health Sciences, Texas Woman's University
I spent many years studying and advocating for physical educators to look at the sensory-motor mechanisms that under-gird motor performance. These authors do an excellent job of unraveling those "mysteries" of the sensory motor systems by discussing the fundamental systems in a way they can be understood. The connection of proprioceptive, tactile and vestibular function with motor output is clearly presented and takes the teacher and parent much deeper into the underlying systems of sensory motor behavior than ever before. They've done a great job and I hope the book is widely adopted as a text or at least supplemental readings in methods of teaching physical activity to elementary school aged children.
Janet A. Seaman, P.E.D., American Assoc. for Active Lifestyles & Fitness, Executive Director
This is the book I needed when my son was small! By making the exercises into games, the book works miracles for both attitude and physical development. As a parent, both tips for working with children and explanations of how the body functions are extremely helpful. How wonderful to finally have this information in a form usable by parents and teachers!

A 20-year-old man was refused bail yesterday for allegedly punching a 15-year-old boy in the head in an unprovoked attack outside Orange Central shopping centre on Saturday afternoon.
Joshua Staines will appear before Orange Local Court today charged with recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm for the alleged assault.
Police allege the boy was walking with friends at about 1pm on Saturday when Staines approached him and punched him in the head, knocking him off his feet.
The teenager sustained a fractured skull, lost consciousness for a short time and lost a tooth in the incident. He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before he was taken to Orange Health Service.
Staines is alleged to have left the scene, but police later arrested him at a unit in Margaret Street and took him to Orange police station following inquiries into the incident.
The boy remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
No one else was injured during the incident and police said alcohol was not believed to be a factor.
Anyone with information about the incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Gritters on standby as more rain expected for Wyre Forest
4:54pm Friday 31st January 2014 in News
GRITTERS are on standby to treat roads in Wyre Forest and Worcestershire and more rain is expected.
The Met Office has predicted more rain, wind and low road surface temperatures for the weekend, so Worcestershire County Council so put its gritting teams on alert.
Due to the exceptional rainfall already experienced during the last few weeks, drivers are being reminded any surface water could quickly develop into black ice and are urged to adjust their driving accordingly.
Residents should also be aware of possible localised surface water flooding as well as some general disruption. A council statement said: "As always, the advice remains motorists should not assume roads have been gritted and to temper their driving accordingly."

September 11 was a devastating wake up call for every American. The events of that terrible day taught us that we are at war with violent Islamist extremists. If we let them, these jihadists are committed to exploiting our generosity and legal protections to further their murderous mania. The 9/11 Commission which investigated that tragedy concluded warning signs were everywhere, noting that "the system was blinking red."
Recent attacks in Boston and Benghazi are a reminder that the War on Terror is not over. We must be vigilant in investigating these attacks to ensure we don't repeat past mistakes and ignore warning signs with deadly consequences.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee just released a report revealing the deadly attack on our embassy in Benghazi may have been possible to prevent. The report found systemic flaws in the Administration's approach to securing U.S. interests and personnel around the world. It concluded that officials failed to properly anticipate and plan for threats based on available intelligence. The report also found that reductions in security levels were approved at the highest levels of the State Department and senior Administration officials altered accurate talking points to fit the Administration's flawed narrative of events.
While facts are still unfolding, it is already clear that there were missed opportunities to stop the Boston bombing as well. The FBI was alerted about one of the suspects but ultimately failed to share or follow-up on his activities. The brothers subscribed to an Islamic extremist magazine and regularly espoused radical Islamic views, praising jihad, even using extremist social media sites for that purpose. They were both naturalized citizens, which fits the evolving nature of terrorism where individuals already in the country are becoming radicalized and carrying out less coordinated and smaller scale killings. Given this information, one would hope federal homeland security, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies could have pieced the puzzle together, but they did not.
Make no mistake about it. America's security has made major strides since 9/11. We are safer now than we were before that terrible tragedy. Moreover, federal officials working on our national security have a very difficult job. There is no way to guarantee that the government can prevent those committed to killing Americans from carrying out their evil. But we must stay vigilant, and we cannot bury our heads in the sand in hopes that those who hate us won't try to hurt us.
The attacks in Boston and Benghazi are a reminder that we can and must do more to bolster our homeland defenses. Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies must better coordinate and share information with each other to connect the dots before the enemy attacks. Actionable intelligence must be taken seriously, even if it undermines the company line that America's charm offensive is winning the hearts and minds of those who may never like us. Enemy combatants need to be treated as such. Foreign terrorists should be tried in military tribunals, not in courtrooms on American soil. Immigration screenings must prioritize security above all else.
Simply put, we must remain committed to winning the War on Terror. There have been dozens of disrupted terrorist plots on U.S. soil since 9/11. We must learn the lessons necessary to make sure that trend continues.
Messer: Have we learned the lessons of 9/11?
September 11 was a devastating wake up call for every American. The events of that terrible day taught us that we are at war with violent Islamist extremists.

The best years of your life
As people age they often look back to fondly recall the best years of their lives. Natural timeframes are the college years or that certain age before the daily grind of work and family take over the bulk of the day. Associations are to being carefree with limited responsibilities, a light and airy existence.
Ziemke: My Summer Homework
Even though session has been out for a little more than a month, the General Assembly still has much work to do. I had a brief break where I got to go home and mow the lawn, spend time at my restaurant, the Brau Haus, and attend a few festivals in addition to continuing to work on constituent concerns. The time has come for work on summer study committees to commence and I'm ready to get back at it.
Mauzy: Rush County: The hope and the despair
Moments arise when hope and despair briefly intersect. During these emotional overlaps, it's a toss-up as to which energy will win even though we desire the best. Two recent high-profile events present the overlapping calamity often noticed in this community.
Asbestos awareness is an important topic
Dear Editor:
My father, sister and husband all died because of asbestos. Now my brother has asbestosis. I set up my website because of the death of my husband to let people know of the dangers. It was the first website designed by a person on the internet at that time instead of by lawyers. The stories are to honour those effected by asbestos and to make sure they are never forgotten. I had just finished the last sentence when I heard of Janelle's death.
Proposed parade route
Dear Editor:
I see room for compromise on the 4th of July parade route. Up Main Street to 5th Street then take 5th Street to Harrison Street to 11th Street.

Barada: Good advice for parents and college students
This week's column is more for the parents of kids about to head to college than unsolicited advice for students about to go. Why? Because kids going away from home, some for the very first time ever, can be an even more traumatic event for the parents than for their children!
Stop the student loan interest rate hike
The key to a great life is a good education. But paying for a college education is tough. Many families are taking out second mortgages. Some are putting-off deserved vacations. Others are telling their kids they just can't afford to attend the school of their choice.
Mauzy: Recent graduates are free to explore
Two weeks have now passed since Rush County Schools released new graduates from a state required academic curriculum.
Parade should be on Harrison Street
Dear Editor:
There was good reason for not moving the parade back onto Main Street after the third lane was rammed through: we learned Harrison Street is a better route for both the participants and the spectators.
Barada: The right people in key places
For the first time in years, this community has exceptionally good people in key places within organizations involved directly with helping make Rush County a better place in which to live!

#Tip: Check out these resources for investigating international business
Journalism students are routinely told to "follow the money" when training, and although initiative and cunning should be the key tools in the toolbox it never hurts to just be told where to look.
At the recent Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Paul Radu, of the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project in Romania, and the University of Missouri's Marty Steffens gave a presentation on some of the best tools for tracing transactions, uncovering the business deals and researching international business.
Brazilian Journalism student Amanda Rocha originally wrote it up for the conference website in Portuguese and it has now been reposted at the University of Texas in English.Tags: advice, Business, journalism tips, research, tool

NEWBURYPORT — While many businesses and residents have done an extraordinary job keeping their sidewalks clear and safe of snow, some have not. The City of Newburyport Health Department would like to remind businesses and residents to help keep sidewalks safe and secure for students and pedestrians by shoveling their sidewalks in a timely manner. It's not only neighborly, it's also the law.
The Health Department has allowed a reasonable amount of time for business or residential property owners to address the issue and we are asking businesses and residents for their help by complying with this important city ordinance.
The Health Department was out on Saturday to remind business and property owners of the requirement to shovel walkways. The city would prefer not to issue tickets; however, any business or property owners whose sidewalks remain unshoveled by today may be issued fines by the Health Department.
The Council on Aging is striving to connect residents with teenagers interested in earning extra money shoveling. Anyone interested in hiring a teen can email firstname.lastname@example.com and type "shoveling help" in the subject line, or call 978-465- 4410. The Health Department will forward requests to the Council on Aging.

Hamilton Police are looking for a suspect in a reported kidnapping.
A school-aged child reported to the Hamilton Police Department on Monday that a male subject grabbed her while she was walking home on Heathrow Court near Fairborn Drive.
The child reported that the suspect did not engage her in conversation; he just grabbed her, and attempted to get her into his open van. The girl screamed and kicked the suspect several times, which enabled her to get away and make it home safely.
The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5'10", with a medium build, a scruffy beard, and dark curly collar length hair. He was wearing torn clothing and shoes, a knit cap, and appeared very unkempt.
He was driving a white box van with dents all over the sides. The van was further described as having dark tinted windows and being very dirty on the inside and out.
Anyone with information on this subject or vehicle is urged to call 911.

- An EPIC view !SecretFoodieVIPDined on 8/24/2014The best surprise was the incredible downtown view. If we hadn't sat outside I would have still been pleased but the ambiance outside was great even on an August midday. Under the spacious umbrellas the temperature was lovely. Our meal took a little longer than I would have expected but when it came, it was worth the wait. Fresh ingredients, well-balanced. Our server also made the suuggestion of the strawberry basil mimosa. So good I'll make it at home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's vibrant without being snob, you definitelly should try it; one of the funniest dinners we had in Miami!! Thanks to Marcelo.Special Features:
- TerribleEddtwoVIPDined on 8/21/2014The service is really bad, they took so many time for everything, looks like they forgot about you! You have to ask for the same thing many times. And the food is worst, we asked for tiradito, the worst ever, the fish was awful the quality was really bad, and then a chicken so dry and with any flavor. We sat at the terrace and suddenly some ice came from the sky, it hurt me. In resume it can't be worst.

- Maybe we just picked...maxdemaDined on 8/14/2014...the wrong night but the "crudo" presentation experience was embarrassing: 4 tuna slices, each one smaller than the size of a nigiri sushi, quality just fair. We ordered 4 different main courses, none to be remembered. We read many good reviews about this place but honestly much ado about nothing.Special Features:
- Good but not greatLcama027Dined on 8/14/2014The restaurant is beautiful, the good is presented amazingly. The service was not was I'd expect from such a high-end establishment (our server would go missing for long periods of time) and the music was way too loudSpecial Features:
- Promises deliveredngaioDined on 8/11/2014We hadn't specified outside, but when we arrived that request was accommodated in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was very good at explaining the entrees and guiding us along. The pace of the meal was just right. A pause to talk and digest but not too long. Oh, and the food was first rate.Special Features:

- so little foodbeenthereDined on 8/7/2014Beautiful setting and nice crowd but ridiculously small portions(and I am French) Ceviche misto is a jokeSpecial Features:
- Worst service ever.JuniebjonesDined on 8/6/2014After waiting 1 hour for being seated, even though I made reservation, the service was poor. We were 5 persons and the waitress barely talked to us, didn't even said anything about the menu and took forever to bring the dishes to the table. We got there at 8:15 pm (on Wednesday) and left at 12:20. 4 hours for a dinner. They brought the main entrance to 3 members of my party and made us wait 10 minutes to bring the rest.Special Features:
- Cold room with no SpiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/3/2014I made a reservation for Miami Spice by computer and got a response for noon on Sunday. When I got there there was no miami spice on Sunday. And there was no need to make a reservation because all they had was Brunch. The Menu was very short and the room was very cold. We could not eat on the terrace with the views because it was rainingSpecial Features:
- Great!!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/2/2014Amazing!!! Although I don't remember his name but he was if not the greatest server ever. Enjoyed every minute of my experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DissapointedRAH5VIPDined on 8/2/2014I had a "seafood" risotto for dinner and it had only ONE shrimp and two mussels.... Very disappointed..... No bread served at the table we ordered some flatbread appetizer which came burned.... Bad bad ... I was expecting a bit more of this restaurant. Not coming back again!Special Features:
- GREAT VIEW & SERVICE, TERRIBLE FOODJillDined on 8/2/2014What a disappointment!! Beautiful view and decor but the food was awful. It started off well -- Scallop appetizer had good presentation and delicious, although only three small scallops with a few tiny pieces of assorted vegetable. Downhill from there. The chicken is tastier at Publix. Two small legs on top of two pieces of tepid, uncooked (not al dente) ravioli with a teaspoon of tasteless squash. My Husband ordered the seafood risotto. The seafood had no taste other than whatever they had cooked with the risotto of which I couldn't have more than one bite. Check was $120 with tip, 1 glass of $12 wine, no dessert or coffee. Left feeling ripped off and won't be back.Special Features:
- Great view; but extremely noisyMatromerVIPDined on 8/1/2014If you are looking for Friday night drinks topped by a spectacular view, Area 31 may be your choice. If what you need is a nice place to dine and wine and enjoy a conversation with your counterparts, go somewhere else. The noise level, at least on Friday evenings is beyond description! The staff, however, did its best to accommodate us at a quieter corner outside.Special Features:
- Excellent Food, Excellent ViewTraveln2CVIPDined on 7/29/2014Wanting to try a new restaurant conveniently located to my friend's office and me, I found Area 31 on Open Table which fit our needs. Located on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami, we had a beautiful view to go along with an excellent dinner. We each ordered an appetizer and then shared the Red Snapper with which we tried two of their sauces. While I found the Red Pepper Sabayon not to have a great deal of flavor, the Tomato/Olive/Caper was very flavorful and the fish was cooked perfectly and really did not need any sauce. Had it not been for the valet parking which you have no choice but to use, I would give this restaurant 5 Stars. First it is $15, plus tip, with validation and then it took 20 minutes to get my car.Special Features:
- Best ServiceTabsDined on 7/26/2014We went last night for our anniversary and were seated at a lovely table outside. Awesome views of the city. The service was top notch from every staff member that came to our table. We had the sashimi tuna which was perfect and the scallops were so good we ordered a second serve! Entrees: Pork trio - absolutely delicious, and snapper with sides of brussels, quinoa and yucca - loved everything. Great value desert selections - you choose mini deserts from the menu...3 pieces at $11 was just perfect for 2. Very nice to be offered complimentary bubbles at the end of our meal. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back. Thanks for a great night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hope the bar doesn't take overPinotphileVIPDined on 7/24/2014We've been going to Area 31 since it opened, through at least three incarnations. The food is very good. We mostly go for the great otudoor dining and the amazing view of Miami. Can't really see Biscayne Bay from the dining area, but the view of Brickell Ave. is truly world-class. Could be NYC, could be Hong Kong. Really nice. The new bar scene is very energetic, to say the least. Sadly on this latest occasion (July 24) the service was very slow. I am not sure if the waiter was overly challenged (he had tables both inside and out) or the kitchen was slow. Many of the bar patrons, seeking perhaps a respite from the heavy bass music or the crowd at the bar, kept coming over to sit down in the dining area of the terrace. Distracting.Special Features:
- Surprising Downtown Find!KPAustinDined on 7/17/2014Lived in Miami my whole life and never enjoyed a view of the Brickell high-rises as much. Looked like Park Ave. in NYC. The food was delicious, the vibe was yooung and energetic and it is a great reminder of how Miami is becoming "THE" city to live, work and play in!Special Features:
- Outstanding viewsmodrivenDined on 7/12/2014The appointment did not go as smooth as I thought. We did arrive late due to the bridge being opened and traffic in the area. After we arrived, we were sat down after 15 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant. We had an ocean and city view from the table which was amazing. Our appetizers were real small as was our entrees. The food was delicious and prepared with perfection. The service was not so perfect. Our waters and drinks were left empty several times and we had to reach out to our server for refills. Empty plates were on the table and we had to remind waiters to please clear our table. I did appreciate the custom made menu for our birthday guest which had "Happy Birthday" written on. Valet service was a nightmare though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as advertisedLyndyDined on 7/12/2014We went for the tasting menu and wine pairings as advertised. Only to be told, they no longer have a tasting menu. I could chose whatever I wanted. Hmm isn't that just the regular menu? Why yes it was-- It was very disappointing. But worse we sat near the patio and watched several shirtless flip-flop wearing overweight men drink too much.
- BirthdayEasyEDined on 7/11/2014There were 3 of us for a birthday for Mariella. The menu was printed with her name of it which was great. The waiter said she could have it as a keepsake and to pick it up at the front desk when we left. On the way out the hostess said the menu had gotten wet and they threw it away. Our meal cost $400.00 and this little error in goodwill left a sour note as we walked out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ok... Not greatJustbeinghonestDined on 7/9/2014Food was a little underwhelming and salty. Very salty. Small portions. Decent service and a great view.. This place is not food the FOODIE!! Nope!!! you pay for a view!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 13 YEAR ANNIVERSARYCelebrationDined on 7/4/2014It was our 13 year anniversary and I made our reservations thru open table and the service from Area 31 could not have been more perfect! We were give a phenomenal table by on the balcony over looking the Brickel area of Miami on the Fourth of July. What an incredible way to celebrate ours and our Country's anniversary! We were greeted very warmly by the front desk and when we were sat, Area 31 served us 2 glasses of champagne and wished us a Happy Anniversary! Absolutely phenomenal. Did I mention that we are a gay male couple? How accepted they made us feel!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpnTble cheating on 1000 pt creditsOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 7/4/2014This was supposed to be a 1000 point restaurant. I have only been credited with 100 points and would like to have this corrected ASAP. It is clear from the OpenTable website that this is a 1000 point venue on the date and at the time for the reservation. There seems to be a serious glitch in the system so be sure to watch your confirmations to make sure you are receiving the correct point credits.
- Too Loud for a Dining ExperiencedanmiamiDined on 6/27/2014Perhaps it was the "happy hour" thing going on at the bar, but without a doubt this was way too noisy for a nice dining experience. If I am going to a place to pay $20-65 for dinner, I would think one would actually be able to enjoy dinner and not have to shout across the table to have a conversation. Happy hour usually ends a bit earlier everywhere else I have been - we sat for dinner at 9pm and it was obnoxiously loud. On the plus side, the service was fantastic.Special Features:
- Great Views and FoodOutdoorDinerDined on 6/27/2014One of the best outdoor dining spots in Miami. The night views of Brickell and the Miami River are spectacular. The food is delicious. The waiters do not rush you. An incredible evening.Special Features:

- Surprisingly goodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/26/2014Great waterfront location in downtown Miami with spectacular view on the 16th floor. Open air dining option is well worth the heat on a summer night. Safe recommendation...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise ControlNikkiDined on 6/22/2014It was our first time coming to the restaurant. Everything was great until it came to the people at the bar. I understand the world cup is going on right now however it became somewhat of a mood killer especially for someone experiencing the restaurant for the first time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular View and Great ServiceTheGC1Dined on 6/21/2014The food was good, one seafood dish and one steak. The seafood was fresh and the steak was perfectly medium-rare and tender. The service was spectacular. David was well versed on the dishes, the preparation, and was very knowledgeable about the local area. He was very personable and made us feel like special guests. The views were amazing and got to watch the skies behind the buildings turn orange as it transitioned to night. The night view was wonderful. It was my wife's birthday and once seated, we were warmly met with two glasses of champagne. We were then presented with the drink menu, as well as a menu with a personalized birthday greeting for my wife. The trio of desserts was fantastic. Highly recommended overall.Special Features:

We were giving a great table with an amazing city view and they had glasses of champagne prepared for our arrival. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The drinks are creative and fantastic. We enjoyed oysters and the swordfish was amazing. We've returned several times since dinner just to enjoy the cocktails and the view and have gotten great service every time.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/15/2014The food was okay. I would definitely get the risotto and dessert. The crunch for dessert is the best! The dessert portions are actually pretty generous so two pieces would probably be enough. The appetizers were nothing special.Special Features:

Stoffer Family Stadium: A Facility Some Athletes Will Use Year-Round
The view from the top of the bleachers.
We've talked at length about the fact we're bringing football back and that we're building a stadium to accommodate that return. What we also need to keep in mind is the fact this construction project will be a boon to our track and field program.
This week, I asked John Smith, our head track and field coach, what impact the stadium will have on the sport. Below is his response ...And here's an interesting fact: Between 20 and 25 of our football players are also track athletes, so they'll be taking advantage of this new facility year-round.
The new Stoffer Family Stadium is going to be a big boost to our facilities. Having covered stands for the fans and teams is a big plus in our spring track season. The artificial turf infield will provide a very clean look to the track, and it also provides us with a good alternative training surface to reduce impact/injuries. Drainage of the infield has always been a problem, so this will eliminate the drainage problems we have battled for the last couple decades.
In addition, this new facility definitely opens the door for us to host better meets. We can comfortably host more teams with the stadium seating and provide a venue that is top-notch. Another big impact is being able to have a more permanent press box from which to run the timing system and meet administration. We will be hosting the Northwest Conference championships in the spring of 2015, so the project will be finished and ready to put on a great meet.
- John Smith
The bottom line is, your investment in this stadium project goes beyond football. It will greatly impact our track program as well. In the event you hadn't seen the latest progress on the stadium site, I'm including a few photos in this issue to give you an appreciation for the work being done.
A view of the stadium from inside the Duke Athletic Center.
Interior work on the Duke Athletic Center continues.
Get to Know the Coach: Special Teams Coordinator Ian Sanders
In this week's "Get to Know the Coach" feature, I'd like to introduce
Ian Sanders, who both played for and coached with head coach Chris Casey. He has been reunited with his former mentor and coaching associate as George Fox's special teams coordinator and linebackers coach.
Sanders, a native of Tigard, Ore., played free safety and corner for Whitworth University from 1996 to 2000 while Casey was an assistant coach at the school. He earned All-Northwest Conference Second Team honors in 1999 and was an All-NWC First Team selection in 2000 while leading the league in passes defended. He was named the NWC Defensive Player of the Week once that season. He was also selected as an All-Northwest Second Team member, which covers all teams in the NCAA Division II and III levels and the NAIA.
Sanders joined Coach Casey at Aloha High School from 2005 to 2012, serving as the special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach for eight years, defensive backs coach for seven, and linebackers coach for one. He position-coached 22 all-league players and three all-state players. He was a part of the Aloha staff that captured the Oregon Class 6A state championship in 2010.
A graduate of Whitworth with a bachelor of arts in sociology, Sanders and his wife Natalie have two children: Holden (9) and Sloan (6).
Construction Update
Almost all of the windows are now installed in the Duke Athletic Center, so the building is now dry inside. Sheetrock is continuing to be installed, as are many building systems. We are still on track to complete the building by early February.
The grandstands are complete other than electrical and data connections and the final work on sidewalks and landscaping.

Petition for solar panels on Streatham Hub (From Your Local Guardian)

Eco group launches petition to put solar panels on Streatham Hub
8:30am Saturday 14th April 2012 in Streatham By Sam Peoples
An eco-conscious community group is campaigning for developers to include solar panels on the roof of a multi-million pound housing and leisure complex.
Members of Transition Streatham are offering to finance the green additions to the Streatham Hub but are facing stiff opposition from officers at Lambeth Council, which promotes itself as the 'co-operative' borough.
The council told the group further delays to the project, which aims to provide 250 homes, a leisure centre and a Tesco store by 2013, would result in extra costs from contractors.
But campaigners maintain the changes will benefit the community in the long run.
They are hoping to drum up support for the proposals, which include plans for steam room and sauna at the leisure centre, through an online petition.
The group, a network of businesses and community groups, have established their own renewable energy company, Repowering Streatham, to provide the necessary alterations to the Hub.
Group member Scott Ainslie said: "The people of Streatham are not going to give up pushing.
"We are trying to talk about brokering a deal to see if we can do something about it. We are not going to settle for this."
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party candidate for the Lambeth and Southwark seat at the London Assembly, who helped draft the proposals, added that the council had supported solar panel projects in Brixton but was refusing to back the campaign.
"Once again Streatham is being short-changed", he said.
Liberal Democrat councillor Jeremy Clyne, who represents Streatham Hill ward, said the council was guilty of "dodging" the issue.
He said: "The issue of sustainability has been raised at several public meetings by Transition Streatham and the question was dodged by the council.
"As it has a massive flat roof, there is nothing stopping the council from putting solar panels on the roof of the leisure centre".
But a council spokesman said sustainability was "at the heart" of the development and said it was "committed" to delivering a leisure facility which was powered by renewable energy.
He added that a sauna and steam room were never part of the development.
"Energy efficiency will be provided by a combined heat and power (CHP) based system which will deliver a considerable reduction in CO2 omissions and energy costs which draws on industry leading technology," he said.

By Scott Smith
Tribune staff writer
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller is unleashing a major crackdown on the state's medical community, and a spokesman for Indiana's pain management doctors says it's about time.
"It basically just got out of control, to where we're prescribing six to eight times as much as we were in the early '90s," said Dr. Michael Whitworth, M.D., chairman of the Indiana Pain Society.
Indiana is one of only two states with no regulations, rules or state guidance as to how much pain medication doctors can prescribe.
That could be changing, due to legislation pending in the Indiana General Assembly, but the feeling among doctors is that too many patients have died, Whitworth said.
Absent more regulations, Zoeller has gone after the state medical licenses of 14 doctors in the past two years, including four doctors connected with the Wagoner Medical Centers in Burlington and Kokomo.
All four of those doctors are charged with felonies and it's doubtful any of the four will ever issue a prescription for narcotics again. But the actions against the doctors come after police linked 27 deaths to the Wagoner clinics.
"[Zoeller] is trying to bring some common sense back into [prescribing]. Unfortunately, he's done it after a lot of people have died," Whitworth said.
Whitworth disagrees frequently with the physician who prosecutors will be using against the Wagoner doctors at trial, Dr. Timothy King, M.D., president and chief medical officer of Advanced Pain and Anesthesia Consultants Group.
One point of disagreement is how many patients should be eligible for the long-term, prescribed use of opioid painkillers such as oxycodone, methadone and morphine. In testimony supporting the charges against the doctors, King opined that numerous Wagoner patients should never have received "chronic opioid therapy" due to preexisting medical and mental health issues.
Whitworth called King's medical opinions "extremist" and said King is an outlier to the general medical consensus, particularly in King's stance that a prior diagnosis of depression should disqualify a person as a candidate for COT.
At the same time, the fact that anywhere between 560 and 700 Hoosiers a year are dying from overdoses from prescribed narcotics is evidence that overprescribing is a huge problem, he acknowledged.
Whitworth also said using drug screens to weed out COT patients who are abusing or "diverting" medication is critical, and said allegations that the Wagoner doctors ignored drug screen results are serious.
Indiana now ranks 16th per capita in the number of prescription drug overdose deaths, but Whitworth said he thinks Zoeller's initiative is having a positive effect.
"It's having a chilling effect on the prescribing of narcotics, and I say that in a good way," Whitworth said. "We've got to do a better job."
