Reds go for arms in two-day draft
Texas prep outfielder followed by 25 pitchers
CINCINNATI -- The pitching pool in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft was considered to be a bit more shallow than in recent years, but that didn't stop the Reds from diving right in.Of the roughly 600 players, Terry Reynolds, the team's director of amateur scouting, said he had on his board, about half were pitchers. So it should come as no surprise that pitchers accounted for 25 of the Reds' 50 picks over the course of the two-day draft, which concluded on Wednesday. Though the team took center fielder Jay Bruce from West Brook High School in Beaumont, Texas, with the 12th overall pick, and the pitchers came fast and furious from that point. "Overall, we got some quality arms," Reynolds said after the draft's first day, in which the Reds took 10 pitchers in 18 picks. "The arms we got are all good, and from the preliminary conversations we've had with the players and the agents, they're all looking forward to coming out and playing. So far, so good." The Reds made five consecutive selections of pitchers by nabbing left-hander Travis Wood (Bryant High School, Ark.) in the second round, right-hander Zach Ward (Gardner-Webb University) in the third, right-hander Sam LeCure (formerly of the University of Texas) in the fourth, right-hander James Avery (Niagara University) in the fifth and right-hander Jeff Stevens (Loyola Marymount University) in the sixth. "All these guys, with the exception of Jeff Stevens, are 90-94 miles per hour guys," Reynolds said. "Stevens is more of a control guy. Even as we got down a little further, those guys are good-armed guys, too." The Reds drafted just four high school players -- Bruce, Wood and shortstops Mike Jones from Wayne County (Jesup, Ga.) High School and Kevyn Feiner from Sun Prairie (Wis.) High School -- on the first day. "That wasn't by design," Reynolds said. "It just seemed like any time I had a card in my hand with a high school name on it, someone plucked it right in front of us." But on Day 2, the team went with 10 prep players. As far as position players are concerned, the Reds selected 12 infielders, nine outfielders and four catchers, with particular emphasis on the middle infield. The club nabbed six shortstops, not counting Yavapai College third baseman Milton Loo, who is expected to convert to short. "You always try to look up the middle, if you can," Reynolds said. Here's a look at the Reds' picks on Day 1: Travis Wood, LHP, Bryant (Ark.) High School, Pick #60: Wood, 18, signed a letter of intent to play for Arkansas. He's the No. 1 ranked pitcher in the state, and throws an 89-92 mph fastball, as well as a changeup and curve. "His second-best pitch is a changeup, and it's a real good one," Reynolds said. "He has work to do on his breaking ball. If that comes, you'll have a pitcher with two plus-pitches and one average pitch who's left-handed." Zachary Ward, RHP, Gardner-Webb University, Pick #92: The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Ward, a native of Kannapolis, N.C., went 7-9 with a 3.63 ERA for the Bulldogs this past season. He struck out 127 batters over 109 innings by using a four-seam fastball in the mid-90s and a sharp slider. Sam LeCure, RHP, No school, Pick #122: LeCure was ruled academically ineligible to play for the Texas Longhorns this season. He went 9-3 with a 2.34 ERA for an '04 Texas team that advanced to the championship round of the College World Series. "His advisor put him into the wrong core classes, so he was one class short and couldn't play," Reynolds said. "We saw him through a number of workouts, and currently he's pitching for the North Woods League, which is a summer collegiate league. We've seen him in a lot of different environments." James Avery, RHP, Niagara University, Pick #152: The 21-year-old Avery went 5-5 with a 3.42 ERA for the Purple Eagles this season. He is a native of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. Though he has a fastball in the low 90s, he is seen as a reliever because of his limited pitch selection. Jeffrey Stevens, RHP, Loyola Marymount University, Pick #182: The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Stevens went 6-4 with a 3.33 ERA in his junior season, earning him All-West Coast Conference honors for the second straight year. Brandon Roberts, CF, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Pick #212: Roberts was Cal Poly's left fielder and designated hitter before moving to center field this season. Known more for his speed than power, he hit .339 with 32 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. Michael Jones, SS, Wayne County (Ga.) High School, Pick #242: Jones attended a workout at Great American Ball Park last week. Reynolds said the team isn't sure if Jones will stay at shortstop or move out to center field. "The thing we really like is his bat and his athleticism," Reynolds said. "There are questions whether his arm is strong enough to play short." Milton Loo, 3B, Yavapai (Col.) College, Pick #272: The 19-year-old Loo hit .404 with five homers and 38 RBIs at Yavapai. The Reds actually drafted him last year as well. The team will follow Loo, who will most likely convert to shortstop, through another season of junior college before signing him, Reynolds said. Bo Lanier, RHP, University of Georgia, Pick #302: In three years with the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-1, 165-pound Lanier has gone 10-4 with two saves and a 5.69 ERA in 56 relief appearances. Carlos Fisher, RHP, Lewis & Clark (Ca.) State College, Pick #332: Fisher went 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA in 15 appearances, including 11 starts, in his senior season at Lewis & Clark. Adam Rosales, SS, Western Michigan University, Pick #362: Rosales, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound senior, hit .309 with six homers and 31 RBIs for the Broncos this season. Logan Ondrusek, RHP, McClennan (Texas) Community College, Pick #392: At 6-foot-8, 205 pounds, Ondrusek is the tallest of the Reds' draftees. He just completed his sophomore season at McClennan. Michael Griffin, 2B, Baylor University, Pick #422: As a senior starter on a Baylor team that has advanced to the NCAA Super Regional, Griffin has hit .289 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs this season. Michael DeJesus, 2B, Coastal Carolina University, Pick #452: DeJesus is the brother of David DeJesus of the Royals. The junior appeared in all 66 games for Coastal Carolina this season, batting .346 with nine homers and 72 RBIs. He was a first-team All-Big South selection. Jason Vecchio, RHP, University of Texas-San Antonio, Pick #482: In 20 appearances this season, mostly in relief, Vecchio, a junior, went 2-4 with a 6.12 ERA and seven saves. David Wilson, LHP, Lander University, Pick #512: The senior from Gray Court, S.C., went 9-4 with a 3.84 ERA this season. He had 70 strikeouts and just 15 walks in 84 1/3 innings. Kevyn Feiner, SS, Sun Prairie (Wis.) High School, Pick #542: The 6-foot, 170-pound Feiner, 17, signed a letter of intent to play at Illinois. The Reds' picks on Day 2 were as follows:
Eric Eymann, SS, Kansas State University
Ben Mummy, 1B, University of Reno-Nevada
Ben Blumenthal, C, Erskine College
Robbie Nickols, LHP, Pima Community College
James Morris, LHP, University of Illinois

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- A match-fixing investigation in Lebanon produced no evidence that a national team defender helped Qatar win a 2014 World Cup qualifier, the Asian Football Confederation said Thursday.
Attempting to control widespread speculation on the match, the Asian governing body said it studied a summary report from an investigation into match-fixing and bribery ordered by the Lebanon Football Association.
"AFC has no knowledge on any suspicion surrounding Lebanon's ... 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches," it said in a statement.
On Monday, the Lebanon FA banned national team defender Ramez Dayoub for life among 24 players receiving suspensions of at least one season. They included six players who have represented Lebanon in its ongoing campaign to qualify for the World Cup.
The sanctions revived speculation on Dayoub's misplaced pass which led to Qatar's goal in a 1-0 win in Beirut last June. The match began the fourth round of Asian qualifying with the top two finishers advancing to Brazil from a five-team group that includes Iran, South Korea and Uzbekistan. Lebanon is last in the group but remains in contention.
Lebanon coach Theo Buecker has said that "after seeing this from Dayoub, I kicked him out" of the team.
In an interview published Thursday in the United Arab Emirates sports daily Sport360, Buecker said he is "broken" by the scandal and will consider whether to quit as coach of the national side over the next couple of days.
"I don't know yet what I will do. I need to speak to the board and president," he said. "I can't say whether I will continue or not. Inside, I'm broken. I need to think things over and make the right decision."
Buecker also he felt let down by the football establishment in Lebanon, which has had a history of match-fixing problems.
"Personally, I am very disappointed with a couple of guys I really trusted," he said. "I was putting a lot of effort, a lot of time a lot of work into making a path in this country, and some really stupid idiots have destroyed everything."
The AFC congratulated the Lebanon FA on its actions, and has requested "the full investigation report."
Lebanese officials, who invited Jordan FA general secretary Fadi Zreiqat to investigate the case, concluded that players took money to lose domestic and other matches in Asia for betting scams.
"AFC has also set up an internal task force to educate the member associations on ways and measures to combat this menace, and monitor and coordinate with everyone involved to fight match-fixing in AFC competitions," the governing body said.
All 24 players, including Dayoub, who played in Malaysia for Selangor, and two other players representing clubs outside Lebanon, were also suspended across the AFC's 46 member countries.
FIFA will be asked to extend the sanctions to apply worldwide.

GRAND PRAIRIE -- Grand Prairie police responded to reports of a kangaroo on the loose, Friday morning. The animal turned to be a wallaby, smaller than a kangaroo, and was seen wandering the Nottigham neighboord near the northeast corner of Texas 360 and I-30.
Police captured the wandering wallaby, named "Wally," and returned it to its owner.
Authorities said there will be no charges in the animal escape.
A local resident, John Richardson, posted the following tweet after the animal's capture:
@GrandPrairiePD thanks for helping wrangle up the kangaroo on my porch this morning. What a way to start the day. pic.twitter.com/hmtvEJi1LA— John Richardson (@JohnnyRingo1212) June 28, 2013

On her deathbed, Gertrude Stein asked her longtime companion Alice B. Toklas, "What is the answer?" Alice was silent. "In that case," Stein said, "what is the question?" Here are some questions people are or should be asking about Kentucky politics.
Will there be a Republican candidate for mayor of Louisville next year? First-term incumbent Greg Fisher recently announced having raised over $1 million toward re-election. In 2010, Republican Hal Heiner ran the best GOP race for the office since the city and county governments merged, but he barely lost to Fischer by 51 percent to 49 percent. Three short years later it looks like Fischer will win a second term by default.
Do any of the co-chairs of the pro-casino group Kentucky Wins! actually gamble in casinos? Jonathan Blue, Ed Glasscock, Joe Craft, Kelly Knight, Robert Evans, Terry McBrayer, and Junior Bridgeman are affluent and successful in business, but it is hard to imagine any of them sitting entranced for hours while pumping their hard-earned money into an addictive slot machine like those that dominate modern casinos. Can any of these truly public-spirited folks seriously dispute that casinos prey on the poor and poorly educated in ways worse than Kentucky's existing forms of legal gambling do?
Why did Governor Beshear declare in his 2013 State of the Commonwealth speech, "We must modernize our outdated tax code" and find solutions to the topic of tax reform "this year" (his emphasis), but then do nothing to follow through on his rhetoric? Beshear was apparently not serious when he said, "We have to stop putting off uncomfortable decisions for future generations." Six years into his administration he not offered a tax reform plan of his own and his task force's recommendations are growing mold.
Should Medicaid recipients be allowed to purchase alcohol, cigarettes, and lottery tickets? Since others are footing the bill for their health care shouldn't they forgo these luxuries (vices?) that make them poorer and unhealthier? This question is more appropriate than ever now that Beshear's Medicaid expansion under Obamacare has added over 45,000 to a program that the state already struggled to administer, pay for, and get enough providers to participate.
What explains Tennessee making the most rapid education advances of any state according to the benchmark National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)? The Volunteer State made major changes over considerable teachers' union opposition. The Tennessean reports that those reforms include "advancing a teacher evaluation system that factors in student test scores for performance, adopting a differentiated teacher pay plan that gives less importance to advanced degrees, overhauling teacher licensure, overseeing a new agency that has tapped charter school operators to take over the state's lowest-performing schools and continuing the statewide transition to Common Core standards." Kentucky has had its NAEP successes and compares favorably with Tennessee in some respects, but the state Department of Education says our "results have remained steady over the past few years, with minor gains and losses."
Would Kentucky's U. S. Representatives and Senators, and candidates for those offices, support American military action in response to a Chinese military attack on Japanese forces over the disputed East China Sea islands? By treaty the U. S. recognizes that such an attack "would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger." Any congressman or candidate advocating such a military response should explain how it promotes American national security. Meanwhile, nothing quite reassures like Obama sending the always careful and close-lipped Vice President Joe Biden into that volatile region!
Has there ever been a better or bolder observation about Kentucky's state press corps by one of its own than Sam Youngman's recent gem? Youngman, a native Kentuckian seasoned in Washington, has returned home to report on politics for the Lexington Herald-Leader. In a remarkably fine article for The Daily Beast titled "Alison Grimes Will Have to Step It Up to Beat Mitch McConnell," Youngman penned this priceless line: "McConnell ran into a wall, this time against a state press corps that gradually has grown to despise him over the years and now does little to hide its contempt for him." Spot on, Sam!
These questions now asked, it is a good idea to recall some more words of Gertrude Stein. "There ain't any answer, there ain't going to be any answer, there never has been any answer, that's the answer." Thus it is and ever will be with Kentucky politics.

The latest "surprise" in the world of Obamacare is that people do not always behave logically.
That should be obvious. But apparently it is not to experts and political leaders who have championed the expansion of Medicaid to cover adults with earnings less than 133 percent of the federal poverty line.
Turns out the promise that it would save money because those people would stop using emergency rooms in favor of doctors' offices is, like so much in the new law, illusory. Those people don't use the ER less, they use it more.
The Medicaid expansion was supposed to be mandatory under the new health care law, until the courts rejected it, leaving the decision up to the states. Since then 25 states and the District of Columbia have signed on, with Indiana and Pennsylvania planning to do so, seduced in part by a promise that the feds will pay for the first three years of it, and 90 percent from then on.
But the other sales pitch has been that if poor people are covered by Medicaid, they will no longer get most of their care at emergency rooms, where it is more expensive and where they are likely to have more severe problems that might have been addressed more easily and inexpensively if they had insurance coverage.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius used that line during the debate over Obamacare in 2009.
"Our health care system has forced too many uninsured Americans to depend on the emergency room for the care they need," she said in a statement. "We cannot wait for reform that gives all Americans the high-quality, affordable care they need and helps prevent illnesses from turning into emergencies."
Michigan's Republican Gov. Rick Snyder is among those who swallowed that story. In a "fact" sheet, he claimed that, "by expanding Medicaid, those without insurance will have access to primary care, lowering costs and improving overall health."
No, it won't. Sadly, as Sebelius, Snyder and President Obama himself are discovering with the rollout of his signature legislation, logic does not prevail in this situation. If they had bothered to do some homework on the issue, they would have known it never has.
Poor people covered by Medicaid still use emergency rooms – more, not less.
Supposedly, this is a surprise. There has been a mini-explosion of stories about a study recently published on the website of the journal Science, which analyzed the use of ERs in Oregon by people newly enrolled in Medicaid. The study found that ER use spiked by 40 percent.
The real surprise ought to be that anybody is surprised. I could have told the Harvard people this before they started the study, because health care professionals were telling me about it back in the 1980s.
They had made the same assumption at first – that if people without health insurance were given access to it, they would no longer have to treat every medical need as an emergency. They would see their doctor regularly enough to manage chronic conditions, and keep minor problems from becoming major ones. And that would "bend the medical cost curve" – something we heard constantly during the campaign to sell Obamacare.
If only. What they found was a population, in general, that needs more than a health insurance policy. They need someone to function as a surrogate parent – to remind them to do things that the experts had thought they would do on their own.
They found a population that does not plan ahead. They described them as people with "a short time horizon."
"A lot of them don't have a steady job, they don't have a steady place to live, they may have drug or alcohol problems, and about all they can think about is getting through the day. They don't make appointments. Thinking about next week or next month might as well be 10 years from now," one hospital executive told me. That was about 30 years ago.
Jonathan Gruber, a professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one of the architects of Obamacare, has apparently been aware of this all along. He told the Washington Post recently that promises of savings made by people like Sebelius were, "sometimes a misleading motivator for the Affordable Care Act. The law isn't designed to save money. It's designed to improve health, and that's going to cost money."
Gee, nice of him to acknowledge that now. I don't recall him disputing either Sebelius or the president during the intense debate over whether Obamacare was going to save money.
Oregon officials contend that since 2008, when the patient sample was studied, they have cut the use of ERs with better patient management. But that has required putting "community health workers" – in essence, health-care babysitters – in hospitals to divert patients with non-emergency problems to a less costly setting than the ER. This, they say, will "train" them to do it on their own. Good luck with that.
Meanwhile, there isn't much discussion about what happens if they get diverted to a doctor who doesn't take Medicaid.
Everybody should be provided with health care. But in some cases – millions of them nationwide – handing them an insurance plan is not the best way to do that. It certainly is not the way to save any money.
That is something people like Gruber knew – and should have acknowledged – up front.

When Barack Obama met Genevieve Cook in 1983 at a Christmas party in New York's East Village, it was the start of his most serious romance yet. But as the 22-year-old Columbia grad began to shape his future, he was also struggling with his identity: American or international? Black or white?
Drawing on conversations with both Cook and the president, and details from Cook's private diaries, David Maraniss has the untold story of the couple's time together.

Tonight's match pitted two of the top teams in New England as the Pride entered ranked fourth, while the Ephs were second in the first NCAA Regional Rankings released yesterday. Springfield improves to 20-5, with the win, while Williams falls to 19-3.
The Pride got off to a great start to begin the opening set, snagging a 13-9 lead. However, Williams stormed back by scoring nine-straight points to take control of the frame. Despite a late rally, the Pride fell by the score of 25-21.
Springfield had an equally strong start with a 14-8 advantage. Williams got within 19-15 following an ace to force the Pride into a timeout, but Springfield benefited from a kill and block by Kelsey McGayhey down the stretch for the 25-19 second-set win.
McGayhey connected for another kill off the Eph block midway through the third as the Pride inched out to a 12-8 lead, only to have the Ephs answer with a 6-0 burst to take a lead it would not relinquish. Williams would eventually hold on for a 25-21 third set win.
The Pride surged ahead 13-10 in the fourth after back-to-back solo stuffs by Amanda Palladino. However, as they had all game, Williams answered with a huge run, this time an 8-2 burst as the Pride burned its second timeout of the game trailing by three. Faced with a 19-17 defict, the Pride used a Lindsay Runge ace, a Lauren Holt solo block, and a great cut shot by Tessa Smolinski to regain 22-21 lead. Williams fought off three set points by the Pride before Springfield finally clinched the fourth set, 30-28.
Springfield took an 8-7 lead the switch in the fifth and seemingly seemed in control after a Whitney Miller ace, coupled with two thunderous swings by McGayhey, put the Pride ahead 12-7. The Ephs made one last push, getting with 12-11, before Holt finally sided out with a swing out of the middle. The Pride then sealed the win thanks to consecutive Williams errors en route to the 15-11 final score.
McGayhey had a dominant showing on the right side, producing 16 kills and three blocks, while Smolinski posted 10 kills. Both Holt and Daniella Crismani added seven kills and Amy Entel shined on the defensive end with 27 digs.
Miller and Marnae Mawdsley combined for 44 assists running the offense, and Palladino totaled a team-best six blocks.
Springfield will continue play in the Volleyball Hall of Fame Tournament on Saturday when it takes on Middlebury and Trinity.

It was the premiere match-up of the tournament on Thursday afternoon as LSU's undefeated Aaron Nola and Arkansas stud Ryne Stanek duked it out on the mound, but in the end Arkansas out hit LSU 4-1.
LSU (49-9) scored the first run of the game in the 3rd inning with a fielder's choice and a Razorback miscue at second base.
Stanek was in a two out jam after walking the bases loaded, but a deep fly to center by Sean McMullen ended the threat.
Razorbacks finally got on the board in the 5th to tie it up, 1-1.
LSU and Arkansas remained deadlocked until the 8th when the Hogs took the lead for good on a squeeze play. The Hogs tacked on two insurance runs in the 9th to beat the Tigers 4-1.
Nola pitched 7 strong innings, striking out 8.
"I thought Aaron pitched his heart out," Mainieri said. "He was fantastic. When you give a guy a week's rest, you're concerned about fastball command in the first game back. I thought his command was just slightly off tonight – it took a few more pitches than normal for him to get guys out."
Stanek went 8 innings giving up just 6 hits 1 unearned run, while striking out four Tigers.
"Stanek was very good tonight, and he showed why he's going to make a lot of money in this game at the next level," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "We had some opportunities against him, but we couldn't come up with the big hit at the right time. We just didn't take care of the scoring chances that we had."
LSU moves into the losers' bracket and has a rematch with Alabama Friday at 3pm.

Sandy Seibert started the walk in 2009 with the help of her lifelong friend, Sally Armstrong, and other friends. Seibert's goal has always been just to get more people involved each year.
Seibert has had a lot of experience with diabetes. She has lived with Type 1 diabetes for 20 years and her sister, who had been diagnosed with diabetes at 11 years old, died at the age of 37 in 2008 from complications from the disease.
Another family member, a 16-month-old boy, was diagnosed with diabetes and Seibert said he was one of the main reasons she wanted to the start the walk.
"I wanted him to know you have support," Seibert said. "We get more and more kids at the walk each year and I want them to know they're not alone in it."
Raising awareness about diabetes and showing those who have the disease that there is a community of support behind them motivates Seibert to continue doing the event.
"To me, the awareness is more important than funds we raise," Seibert said. "If I were to only raise $100, I would be fine with that because I know that I am raising awareness."
With participants having quintupled since the first walk, Seibert said she is happy with the progress throughout the years and the awareness she has already brought to a disease that has affected so many lives.
One fact about the disease Seibert said she believes a lot of people do not know is the complications that come with it.
Heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease and amputation are all complications that can stem from diabetes.
Seibert also said many people believe that those with diabetes can stop taking insulin if they take care of themselves right, but Seibert said that is simply not true.
"People with Type 1 diabetes will have to take insulin forever," she said. "People with Type 2 can control it so that they may be able to go off of insulin some day."
The total costs of those diagnosed with diabetes in just the United States in 2012 was $245 billion, according to the American Diabetes Association website, diabetes.org.
The Walk for Diabetes registration period has ended but raffles will take place at the event as well. The big item for raffle is an iPad mini, which tickets are on sale now,;$1 each or six for $5 up until the day of the event. Businesses have donated other items that will be raffled off and tickets will go on sale at the event only. The raffle for the iPad mini is the only raffle participants need not be present to win.
A free-will donation lunch will also be available after the walk.
"Everything is donated so all the money made at the walk is revenue," Seibert said.
A lot of people from the Oakwood community come out to support the walk and it has expanded throughout the years to include participants from Delphos, Defiance, Continental and Paulding, she said. Even with just 60 walkers, it seemed like a mob of people in the small Oakwood community.
The event will start at 1 p.m. Saturday at Oakwood Elementary School. All funds raised, minus the cost of the T-shirt for registered walkers, will go to the ADA.
To donate to the ADA on behalf of the Oakwood Community Walk for Diabetes, visit main.diabetes.org/goto/oakwoodcommunitywalk.
The ADA uses money donated to the organization to fund research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; deliver services to hundreds of communities; provide objective and credible information; and give voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes.

***Diabetes is a problem within the body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal, according to the ADA website. There are different types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2 and gestational.
Gestational diabetes occurs in some women when they are pregnant. It does not mean that the woman had diabetes before or will have diabetes after giving birth, according to the website.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. With Type 2 diabetes, the body does not use insulin properly, which is called insulin resistance. At first, the pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it but over time, it is not able to keep up and cannot make enough insulin to keep the blood glucose at normal levels, according to the ADA website.
Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and young adults and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. According to the ADA website, in this case, the body does not produce enough insulin. Of people diagnosed with diabetes, only 5 percent have Type 1 of the disease.

- A destination for visitorsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/30/2014The Salmon House is consistently a wonderful dining experience. The delicious food and amazing view make it a must.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, disappointing foodnshorefoodloversDined on 8/26/2014The Salmon House enjoys the most spectacular setting, the restaurant itself, with its large windows allows the diner to take in these amazing vistas. It should be an ideal place for a romantic dinner or to show off Vancouver to a first time visitor except the food just does not cut it. It's not a bargain basement restaurant, the servers are very efficient and professional, so why was the bread served both stale and obviously reheated in a microwave to try to disguise the staleness. Unfortunately the main courses were little better, one dish of salmon was overcooked, a crime for a fish restaurant, the other dish of halibut was a small, ragged portion which looked like it had been dropped. Presentation was sloppy, we left feeling let down.Special Features:
- FamilyDined on 8/24/2014It was my Daughter and her wife's anniversary and my 91's birthday and you made both occasion very enjoyable.Special Features:
- Outstanding Dining ExperienceLibraLadyDined on 8/23/2014We had been talking about coming here for years, and finally did it the other night. The atmosphere is classy and casual at the same time. The wait staff are all very professional, friendly and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of food choices on the menu, and had a tough time making our decision. I ordered the trio salmon dish and my husband ordered the special Sockeye Salmon. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be making The Salmon House one of our regular places to go for a night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Really enjoyed our wait staff, Sean was personable, knowledgable and very perceptive to our needs. Loved the whole evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 40th wedding anniversarylovesalmonDined on 8/17/2014We had an excellent table with a great view over Vancouver. Actually almost all tables have good views of the city and Vancouver Island. The staff were attentive. The menu is standard "salmon based". All food that we have eaten there has been well prepared, well presented and very tasty. You do not go there for steak. A decent wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, lovely view, noisy roomDB49Dined on 8/17/2014We made the reservation far in advance with an online request for a window table if possible as we were hosting friends from Australia; however we were given a booth far from the windows. The second disappointment was the noise level, which made it hard to have a conversation until later in the evening when most of the people had left. Having said that, the food was good. The fish was well prepared and vegetables nicely crisp. I was annoyed however at not receiving any Open Table points at all, even though I had booked directly on the Open Table site.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic VancouverOmNomer30Dined on 8/15/2014The view is amazing, the food top notch, they've been doing everything right for decades.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- reviewerDined on 8/15/2014This restaurant is often a place for people to go on special occasions. As such most people will wear clothing in keeping with a special family gathering. It is difficult to imagine a special occasion where sneakers, jeans, T-shirt, and baseball cap would be acceptable attire. Such was the garb on the person at the next table. It kind of takes the edge off the "special" occasion my wife and I were there to celebrate, our wedding anniversary. Is there not some minimally acceptable dress standard that could be applied to a restaurant of this calibre?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Satisfaction!mtadDined on 8/15/2014Food was delectable! Halibut was perfect cooked, lamb delicious, desserts yummy.Special Features:

- Beautiful ExperienceSeafoodLoverDined on 8/12/2014If you don't have special occasion to celebrate go to the Salmon House, just going is a special occasion!! The Seafood Tower for two is amazing! The service is outstanding and the ambiance and view are absolutely unbeatable! My favourite restaurant anywhere! They had no trouble adapting to my allergy to all dairy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Viewtshs0412Dined on 8/11/2014Loved the scenic view,especially the patio area for you to walk on and take pictures. Service was great, and loved the food.Special Features:
- Clean and pleasantfoodygoodyDined on 8/11/2014We have guests from out of the country and they all enjoyed the food in a very nice view and pleasant lounge. The service was excellent with only one minor detail when the main course was served to our guests not by our main waitress, the plates were not placed properly in front of the guests and I needed to ask someone to move them so our guests could eat the food comfortably.Special Features:
- OutstandingComingBackSoonDined on 8/10/2014We had an amazing time! Fabulous service and the food was terrific! Best dining experience in ages! We will be coming back soon and telling everyone about it. The staff took special care and specialized our dessert for our anniversary without us knowing. Overall, it was a wonderful evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Banquet FacilityBanquetsDined on 8/10/2014To be honest I felt like i was eating at a banquet facility trying to accommodate a party of two. The decor would remind you of that as well very industrial, empty undecorated. The outdoor deck was bare...no tables, plants, etc. The restaurant looks nothing like the website. Even my GF said it looked better in the past.Special Features:
- Worst Table in the houseNoviewtableDined on 8/9/2014We had a quest in town from Texas and very much wanted them to experience the view of our beautiful Vancouver while dining. I had requested a table with a view in my reservation request (which isn't difficult even if they didn't have window table available as almost all have views). We were put in the lower west side of the restaurant and were looking at the back of what look like a garage. We couldn't have got a worse table. In speaking with the hostess, she advised even if you have a reservation it is first come first serve as far as seating goes. What's the point in reserving?? Not happy and not sure if we will go back!Special Features:
- gorgeousOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014good food, good scene, reasonable price. highly recommend. even not window seated, can have a excellent scene of vancouver.fSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent choicebeisselder1234Dined on 8/8/2014We went to this restaurant to celebrate our 15th anniversary and we really enjoyed eating here. I made a reservation for 6 pm and we hoped for a window table, but unfortunately they had none available. The server was very helpful and knowledgeable and accommodating and we had a delicious meal. We loved the décor of the restaurant with the cedar and aboriginal art. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful dining experience!ScottyDined on 8/7/2014We just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary (our original reception was at the Salmon House 15 years ago) and the service was outstanding! We'll be back. Thanks for all you did to make it special every time we come!Special Features:
- My favorite..DavberDined on 8/7/2014Haven't been here for several years because we live in Washington, but this is my favorite restaurant of all time. The a Salmon is excellent, service always good, although a little slow this time, and the view is unmatched just about anywhere. Restaurant has great decor as well, but it's a bit more expensive, relatively speaking then before. But I love this place!Special Features:
- What a Celebration...!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/7/2014We traveled via the Trans Canada Highway from the Fraser Valley for a dual celebration. It was my wife's 70th Birthday and mine a week before. We chose the Salmon House as the special place to dine. It met our every expectation in Grand style. Our choice of food was made because of the recommendation of our waitress and proved to be excellent in every regard. It was served quickly, had a wonderful presentation and was delectable to the pallet. The meal was topped by a sinfully delicious desert.....!!!! The view while dinning was unsurpassed on a perfect evening. We will hopefully return often. Thank you for being a excellent dining choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Scenic View and great FoodDonnaVIPDined on 8/4/2014Visiting Vancouver and drove to Salmon House. Stunning views of Vancouver. Had a roomy comfortable booth nice ambience. Enjoyed the salmon sampler appetizer and the arugula pesto chinook alder grilled salmon. Desserts to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food an DecorNextimeDined on 8/3/2014Food need to move on from traditional to more modern fusion style food.......was not good. The carpet need to go away...the table is 80's....need to get some yaletown décor or get some help from decorator for advise.Special Features:
- Fantastic eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/31/2014Made the pilgrimage from Pitt Meadows to West Van to take mum out someplace she's never been, amazing service, scenery and of course the food.Special Features:
- Salmon House Always Spectacular2ndfavoriteindulgenceDined on 7/31/2014I have never been disappointed by the Salmon House. It is pricey but what is indulgence about ...the Salmon House has it. The food is cooked to perfection; the staff are happy and long-standing (which means the management is good to them ...a very important part of any dining experience). The wine list, for us wine snobs, is a little thin. But my evening with a long-lost old friend was perfection. The view is great at any time of day (and the windows are kept clean so one can see it :).Special Features:
- West Coast Treat !reistaDined on 7/31/2014Took out friends from Europe - perfect spot to present visitors or newcomers to what Vancouver and the West coast is all about. Recommend to eat fish -Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome experienceDare2dineDined on 7/31/2014Everything about The Salmon House is perfect! The food was excellent - presentation, taste, quality and quantity. The view is spectacular - a must for both locals and visitors. The service is friendly, professional and personal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of town guestsOOTGuestsDined on 7/31/2014We like to take our out of town guests to Salmon House for some Vancouver-unique dining experience with one of the GVA's best views. Price is good - particularly considering the quality. Menu is diverse enough for most people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- where is the fine cuisine?dlwalkerDined on 7/30/2014Great views, average to good service, appetizers were average, main course was average to good, dessert was mediocre! This is a restaurant that could have so much more potential! It promotes itself is a fine dining experience (I travel a lot on business and I dine at a lot of restaurants) I can say with confidence that there is a mismatch between the quality of cuisine served and the image that this restaurant tries to project! SHOTH needs to kick it up a few notches!Special Features:
- Great food and great view!IndyjerDined on 7/28/2014My wife and I had been in Vancouver many years ago and had dinner in the restaurant at that time. During this trip we decided to visit once again and the Salmon House did not let us down. The view of Vancouver is fantastic, the food was wonderful, and the service was super! The employees were very friendly, from the hostess to the manager. I had the salmon trio which was just perfect and my wife had the halibut which was also great! A "MUST go to" place when visiting Vancouver. A 15-20 minute drive from down town to West Vancouver across Lion's Gate well worth the trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celetrationbirthdaywishesDined on 7/26/2014Would recommend SHOTH to anyone - we were met at the door by 2 ladies even though we were about 25 minutes early for our reservation, and they immediately welcomed us and offered us a table by the window if we were willing to wait 5 minutes while it was cleaned. We were seated almost immediately in front of the most spectacular view anywhere and greeted by our waitress shortly after. The service, the food and the ambiance were second to none. The alder grilled salmon trio was the perfect choice for a perfect evening.Special Features:
- Best seafood dinner ever!PickyxmaritimersDined on 7/26/2014From the first nibble of the gorgeous in house bread to the pesto topped sockeye on fresh veggies to the gorgeous churros with dip for dessert... And all with an amazing view. We will soon be returning with friends or family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- menu is not as good as in the pastThelasttimeDined on 7/22/2014The salmon is still a good feature. Most main courses come with risotto. we found that salmon and risotto do not go well together. No choice of having the great mashed potatoes that has been removed from the menu. Desert choice only good if you want chocolate. Having chosen the restaurant for special occasions over the past 20 years, the change of menu is not to my taste, possibly aiming at different demographics.Special Features:

Aisha is a doubly special tot!
8:00am Thursday 28th February 2013 in News By Claire Armstrong, City Hall Reporter
Aisha Siddiqa is a very special tot, for two reasons.
Not only was she a leap year baby, she has also managed to escape a lethal genetic disorder which tragically claimed the life of her older brother.
Her parents Imran Fazil and Sehrish Rasool, of Manningham, Bradford, suffered a personal tragedy when their first child Abdullah was born with restrictive dermopathy, a disorder affecting the lungs, bone and skin, and died a month later.
They were then told that as they were both carriers of the genetic disorder, any other children they had would have a one in four chance of developing the same terminal condition.
But last year, Mrs Rasool gave birth to Aisha on February 29, and she was given a clean bill of health by medics.
Mr Fazil said when they had been told their due date was the leap day, he saw it as a good omen.
He said: "I saw it as a blessing. When the doctor produced this as a date for the delivery, I told my wife, 'You have got to deliver on this day!' "When we had the first child, my wife had to be taken to hospital seven months into the pregnancy and when the child was born we found out he wasn't well.
"It was shocking, the first child is usually the spoilt child in our family. It was really, really hard, it was hard for my wife especially as she had to go through all the pain. She went through a lot.
"This time, we were just hoping everything would be fine. They checked up on Aisha straight away and said everything was perfect.
"I just want to say it's a blessing to have a healthy child. I would tell anyone else in this kind of situation just to stay positive and keep going.
"I also want to compliment the NHS. They have done so much. If you look at what people in poor countries have to go through, I really appreciate everything there is in this country."
Proud dad Mr Fazil said there was a third reason his daughter was extra special – her piercing blue eyes.
He said: "In our tradition, blue eyes and green eyes are so special because we don't really have a lot of people with blue eyes or green eyes."
Aisha's birthday was being celebrated by her family today, though it will be 2016 before they can mark the occasion on February 29.

Best known for its messenger bags, the Timbuk2 line has grown over the years to include backpacks, totes, and tech cases to suit the changing needs of its customers. While there I met the company's new CEO — by way of Mountain Hardware — Mike Wallenfels, previewed the Fall 2010 line, and got to see exactly how a custom bag gets made. Here's a small look at my day. The Beginning What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As soon as you walk into the Timbuk2 offices you are greeted with bicycle racks and a wall full of messenger bags. Perhaps it's a nod to Timbuk2's history, which is firmly rooted in messenger culture. In 1989, Rob Honeycutt, a San Francisco bicycle messenger, purchased a used Singer sewing machine and the company was born. Twenty years later, Timbuk2's classic messenger bag (CMB) is still the cornerstone of its sales, but has expanded its reach to the needs of its main consumer — the "digitally connected, urban nomad." 1 / 15 The CMB Gets a Face-Lift What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lead designer Bopanna Ulliyada models Timbuk2's updated CMB for Fall 2010 — the D-Lux Messenger Racing Stripe bag ($120). The D-Lux CMB is already old news to Bopanna though; his team is in the midst of finalizing the Spring 2011 line. 2 / 15 Studded Protection What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A peek at the studded laptop sleeve that is a feature in many Timbuk2 bags. Mike shared several stories of customers involved in accidents whose laptops stayed in one piece — even if the customers didn't — thanks to their Timbuk2 bag. 3 / 15 What the Boss Uses What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here's Mike talking about his own Mavericks Swig backpack ($160). Mike uses his Swig when commuting by bike the 38 miles between his home in Marin and the Timbuk2 San Francisco offices. Mike says he rides to work at least three times a week, but this month he's been biking every day in honor of National Bike Month. When we met with him, he had just clocked in his best arrival time of 2:32. 4 / 15 All Tricked Out What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Regardless of how you like to store things while biking, Timbuk2 has a bag for you. 6 / 15 Bike to Work What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This week several cities are hosting Bike to Work days — as you can see the Timbuk2 employees already have a start on it. For all of May, Timbuk2 has three teams competing against one another and outside companies for the most miles cycled during the month. 6 / 15 Where the Magic Happens What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A few of the designers plotting what's next for Timbuk2. 7 / 15 Made to Order What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A snapshot of the San Francisco manufacturing factory, which is responsible for making about 25% of all Timbuk2 goods, including all of its custom bag orders. The San Francisco factory puts out about 50,000 bags annually, and on a really speedy day can make up to 300 bags. Timbuk2's other factories are located in China and the Philippines. 8 / 15 A Bag Is Born What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These are shelves on the factory floor that contain the five bag silhouettes used throughout the Timbuk2 line. Besides using tough ballistic nylon fabric to make its bags, there are also specialty fabrics that offer added protection or fashion flair. 9 / 15 Fast Hands What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Most Timbuk2 factory workers have been with the company for 10+ years. It's not unusual for them to get a custom bag order in the morning and have it made and ready to ship out that same afternoon. 11 / 15 Company Allegiance What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some examples of custom bags they've made for businesses and private events. 11 / 15 Make It Your Own What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A preview of Timbuk2's new "Hacking the Bag" line, which is geared towards the college set. All bags are given a blank canvas to add patches, buttons, and stickers to. 12 / 15 Take the Tour What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We got the first look at Timbuk2's special line of messenger bags it's releasing to go along with the Tour de France. Each color corresponds to special jerseys in the cycling race. 13 / 15 Tough as Hell What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 During our talk Mike said that Timbuk2 bags are "tough as hell" and will last a lifetime. This particular bag is made to keep the water out, even in a torrential downpour. 14 / 15 Go Green What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Keeping on trend with environmentally friendly practices, this bag collapses into its own small folding pouch so you can have it on you at all times.

The Green Enigma: Understanding Life Forces
It's a wondrous world, and anyone making a living in the Green Industry should have a basic understanding of the life forces at work, according to Bill Hildebolt, Ph.D., Landscape Industry Certified Manager & Technician and past PLANET President. He notes that the foundation to this understanding is photosynthesis.
"This process fuels all living beings without which there would be no life, and earth would be one giant desolate rock orbiting the sun," Hildebolt says. Because of the earth's ideal distance from the sun, we have the perfect atmosphere to sustain life. A click here or there, and this beautiful planet would be nothing but desert or an ice cap. Similarly, our proximity to the moon creates tidal currents that sustain much of our flora and fauna.
"Regardless of religious preference, most of us would agree that life exists because of a thin layer of soil, abundant sunshine and rain. Because of the miracle of photosynthesis, we have food and shelter. We are quickly finding out, however, that soil, sunshine and rain have to be in balance to provide life, and in today's modern world, this balance is tenuous. As members of the Green Industry, we are charged to ensure this balance and to protect our environment. We are in a privileged position to make a difference. Life on earth is a miracle, and it's a miracle we have to work at to sustain."
Turfgrass Benefits Often Taken for Granted
Hildebolt, the owner of Nature's Select Premium Turf Services in Winston-Salem, NC, notes that the benefits of having a healthy turfgrass are all too often taken for granted by customers. "One of the biggest challenges we face today as landscape contractors and lawn care operators is to educate the customer about the positive impact our services have on the environment," he says. "Doing so effectively will have benefits in the legislative arena where detractors are trying to ban control products and give property owners one more important reason to take advantage of our service offering."
Hildebolt references a PLANET publication, "Guide to Growing a Successful Lawn Care Business", to point out a few benefits of having healthy and well-maintained turfgrass and landscapes:
- Purifies the air. Just one acre of flourishing turfgrass can absorb hundreds of pounds of sulfur dioxide a year and help reduce ozone, hydrogen fluoride and peroxylacetyl nitrate, the worst group of atmospheric pollutants.
- Sequesters carbon. Through the process of photosynthesis, the chlorophyll in plant material purges carbon dioxide from the air.
- Generates oxygen. It's common knowledge that grass plants generate oxygen, but do property owners truly realize that 50 feet by 50 feet of lawn generates enough oxygen to meet the needs of a family of four.
- Conserves and purifies water. Turf not only traps and holds rainfall better than most surfaces, it also helps to lock up nitrogen and phosphorous in the root zone, preventing these elements from leaching down into the groundwater.
- Moderates temperature. On a hot summer day, an acre of turf will lose about 2,400 gallons of water through evaporation and transpiration, which can dissipate approximately 50% of accumulated solar heat. In other words, when the sidewalk or street temperature reads well over 100° F, the temperature at the turfgrass surface will remain around 75° F.
- Increases soil fertility. Grass and leaf clippings left on the ground become part of a continuous growth and decomposition cycle, providing food for microorganisms that are crucial to a living, dynamic soil system.
Beauty Has Value
Healthy turfgrass and landscapes provide many other benefits, Hildebolt emphasizes. "They are aesthetically appealing. In fact, what would our communities look like without well-maintained parks, school yards and shopping districts? They provide a wide range of physiological and psychological benefits, too, and healthy, lush turfgrass works to control pests, abate noise, and prevent and control fires.
"We have been and continue to be stewards of our environment," Hildebolt adds. "The spotlight on sustainability gives the Green Industry an opportunity to retell its story to an audience that is likely more aware of what's at stake than ever before."

That fact that you are not sure that Bush lied to Congress about Iraq having WMDs speaks volumes about your reality. Now did the Dems say go after SD before or after the photo of Rummy smiling and shaking hands with him? Thanks though for the link to another sour grapes loser like yourself.<quoted text>
Now what freedoms did you lose with the Patriot Act? How about all of your friend? How about your family? You do know that DumBama recently extended our surveillance act, don't you?
Bush lowered taxes for most all working Americans--many which enjoy those tax breaks today. He also introduced privatization of some of your Social Security contributions. Democrats didn't like that too much.
So Bush lied to Congress about our Holy War? He must have started pretty darn early, because here is what Democrats had to say before Bush even stepped foot in the White House:

Comcast 'Embarrassed' By The Service Call Making Internet Rounds
The recording starts after the call has already been in progress for about 10 minutes, according to who was trying to cancel his Comcast Internet service. Block writes:
"The representative (name redacted) continued aggressively repeating his questions, despite the answers given, to the point where my wife became so visibly upset she handed me the phone. …
"This recording picks up roughly 10 minutes into the call, whereby she and I have already played along and given a myriad of reasons and explanations as to why we are canceling (which is why I simply stopped answering the rep's repeated question — it was clear the only sufficient answer was 'Okay, please don't disconnect our service after all')."
Comcast says it's very, very sorry. "We are very embarrassed by the way our employee spoke with Mr. Block and are contacting him to personally apologize," the company said in a statement.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Washington State University Police are asking the public for information that will help catch a flasher who has been exposing himself on campus. Police say the latest incident was early Monday in the Stephenson East residence hall. A woman looking in a restroom mirror saw a naked man behind her. He took off when she noticed him. A similar incident happened Thursday in the same building. Assistant Police Chief Steve Hansen told the Moscow-Pullman Daily News (http://bit.ly/ZODQNG ) the suspect in the two cases is likely the same man from another six previous indecent exposure reports.
Hansen says police hope witnesses or others with information will call in tips.
If you have any information on this man please contact the WSU PD at (509)335-8548.
