The Herald Bulletin
---- — The first family for Anderson High School basketball, if not for all AHS athletics, to me has always been the Lewis family.
When it came to quality basketball players, it is difficult to top Kendrick, Scott and Troy. Each was a different kind of player and each was a very good player. Rico also became one of the favorites of Wigwam crowds with his contributions to the pre-game festivities.
But what will stick with me just as long is that they were just as good or even better as people. I will always count myself fortunate to have seen them play and gotten to know them personally.
There's very little doubt that a huge influence on the people the Lewis boys blossomed into was their mother Julia. It was with great sadness that I this week learned of her passing.
Her contributions to this city went far beyond helping to populate it with outstanding sons. She had a big heart and extended it to those who needed it. She was always such a joyous and positive person each and every time I was fortunate enough to be in her company.
Having lost my own mother less than two months ago, I have some fresh memories of what the loss must be like for all of her family and friends.
Hopefully it won't be long before the memories of all the good moments will overwhelm the sadness of the loss. My heart goes out to her family as they make their way through this tragedy. I wish them nothing but the best in the future and am confident they will come out of it as strong or stronger than ever because that's the way Julia raised them.

Last week I believed I was going to have a Sunday column. In that column I was going to tell about the Hoosier Legends series that Brian Hammons is doing for Fox Sports Indiana.
I was going to make a point of bringing it up then because Hammons' piece on Carl Erskine was airing for the first time on Monday at 5 p.m. Obviously this is too late to guide people to that show.
But there is one more replay of the 30-minute segment. That will come Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
I was pleased to be asked to speak on camera for that program. I can't see myself ever turning down an opportunity to say nice (and honest) things about Erskine.

Even though the Indiana Pacers lost their second game of the season on Monday night to Portland, that was the best regular-season NBA game I have seen in many years. Indiana is an entertaining team to watch and one of which this basketball-crazy state can be quite proud.

Concealed Carry Town Hall Meeting
O'Fallon, Illinois
February 19, 2013
A message from Sheriff Watson
My position on concealed carry has always been in favor of the law abiding citizens. Sheriff Justus and I had some arguments over the issue in the past because he was initially opposed to concealed carry.
But over time he changed his position in favor of concealed carry. I would like to think I had a small role in changing his opinion.
When Concealed Carry was not popular, I was one who often stood alone in the law enforcement world, in full support of gun rights for law abiding citizens.
Guns are not a personal hobby of mine, and my guns are used primarily for the job. I do own a couple shotguns and target pistols, but I have not shot them in years.
With that said, I respect the men and women who enjoy the sport of hunting and target shooting, and I surely do not want to limit their legal enjoyment. I would be upset if they wanted to take away my golf clubs, sail boat or camper, the things I enjoy within the guidelines of the law.
I also believe that firearms not only have a place in sport and recreation but are a valuable tool for personal protection. I have always felt that concealed carry was a right of the lawful people and I have not changed my mind.
Limiting magazines to under 10 rounds turns asemi-automatic, into, basically a revolver. This makes no sense, and in the end, will it save lives? NO.
People kill people, Not Guns, not Magazines.
I don't own an assault weapon, but I respect the rights of those who do.
Owning a high powered weapon should be a personal choice not limited by law.
This is a free country, and I shall always support the rights of law abiding citizens, and especially I will always support the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Thank you

---- — NEWBURYPORT — A woman who was thrown from a moving car on Interstate 495 in Merrimac on Sunday afternoon suffered two broken arms, a head injury and road rash to her legs that was so severe she has already undergone two skin graft surgeries, state police said.
Glenda Rivera-Guerra, 37, remains in critical condition at Tufts Medical Center. The man accused of pulling her hair, punching her twice in the neck, then opening the car door and pushing her out onto the highway, Moises Matos, 43, of 400 Andover St., Lawrence, was ordered held without bail yesterday.
Newburyport District Court Judge Peter Doyle scheduled a dangerousness hearing for Friday. Matos, 5-foot-6, weighing 140 pounds and clad in a T-shirt, did not display any outward emotion during the brief arraignment. His court-appointed attorney, Robert LeBlanc of Methuen, did not object to Assistant District Attorney Michelle Belmonte's request that he face a dangerousness hearing.
If the court determines Matos is a dangerous person, he will be held without bail pending his trial.
Matos pleaded not guilty to assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (the highway pavement), aggravated assault and three counts of assault and battery.
Matos and Rivera-Guerra were passengers in a Volkswagen Passat driven by Matos' brother, Henry Matos, 45, who was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of liquor and unlicensed operation the day of the incident, state police said. Doyle revoked Henry Matos' bail on unrelated charges Monday and he remains held at Middleton jail pending a pretrial conference July 9.
According to a report by Trooper Michael Provost of the Newbury state police barracks, Moises Matos pulled Rivera-Guerra's hair while he was in the front seat of the car and she was in the back seat. He then punched her in the neck twice, got into the back seat, opened a door and shoved her out of the moving vehicle onto the highway, according to Provost's report.
State police said several people called the Newbury barracks to report a badly injured woman was in the median strip of 495 near Broad Street. The Merrimac Police and Fire departments went to the scene and Rivera-Guerra was transported by ambulance to Anna Jaques Hospital. From there, she was flown by helicopter to Tufts Medical Center.
Trooper Scott Grimes interviewed Rivera-Guerra at the hospital. Grimes found Moises Matos in Lawrence and arrested him at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to Carrie Kimball Monahan, spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney's Office.

A Bay County sheriff's deputy, conducting a welfare check at a Southport home Tuesday morning, made a grisly discovery.
Inside the house at 9219 Resota Beach Road were the bodies of a man and woman – both dead from gunshot wounds. Investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what happened but they suspect it's a murder-suicide.
According to the Bay County Sheriff's Office, the deceased are Mack O. Kilpatrick, 61, and Kelley Anna Dickson, 48. Once married, they divorced in 2010 but lived in the house together.
"They have been having a little bit of trouble since they split up… but I thought they had gotten back together and everything was alright," said Phillip Bass, a neighbor who knew the couple for 11 years.
Major Tommy Ford said a friend of the couple asked the sheriff's office to send a deputy to check the house after Mack failed to show up for work the night before. Ford said the house was not secure so the deputy went inside and found the bodies, along with a handgun.
Major Ford would not say how long the couple had been dead, how many shots were fired or who did the shooting. "We're still trying to determine that and I don't want to release any information preliminarily until we're able to get a clearer picture of exactly what happened," he said.
Bass said he talked to Kilpatrick on the phone three days ago. "I saw them down here day before yesterday on the side of the road... looked like they was arguing a little bit," said Bass.
Ford said the couple had no law enforcement history of domestic violence but confirmed investigators had learned they had argued in the past. "The evidence was at least consistent with what we would see with a murder suicide," said Ford.
Just before the medical examiner removed the bodies, Kilpatrick's sister arrived at the scene and broke into tears as a deputy told her what happened. Nearby, Phillip Bass was just coming to grips with the deaths of his neighbors. "They were wonderful people, I mean real good people," he said. "They were real close friends… I never would have thought this."
Major Ford said the investigation is continuing and autopsy results will give a clearer picture of exactly what happened on Resota Beach Road.

Katy Perry gives gift to Verrado High student, Lakewood wins contest

Katy Perry crowned Lakewood High School in Colorado the winner of her "Roar" with Katy Perry video contest and will take over their school for an unforgettable performance.
But it was one Valley student who really won big.
Lakewood beat four other finalists, among them was Verrado High School in Buckeye, Ariz.
Verrado High submitted a 2-minute video that told a story of Megan, a student with Down syndrome, whose friends helped her make the cheerleading team.
Perry was seemingly moved by Verrado's message and wants to fly Megan and her friends out to be her date at a special event.
"I just want to celebrate her and hear her roar in person," she said. "Megan, thank you so much. I love you. I love your spirit. You have really inspired me."

Part of their "Right to Know" should be how much more they charge than other grocers. I checked a gluten free pizza in their store, it was $10.99. That is $3.00 more than Safeway charges and Safeway isn't known as the bargain basement of grocery stores. A few other items I knew the prices for were also more expensive.

I am delighted to have New Leaf in Pleasanton and I urge all or you to support this grocer by shopping locally and looking at all the positives rather than focusing on one complaint and making that your mantra. I can tell by having shopped at New Leaf since its' opening that the ownership is trying to be as cost conscious as possible....the organic lettuces/vegetables are priced well and the taste is like none other. be adventurous and try out the beets in your salad ....wow! best ever! They are doing everything within their power to fit into this community where there is an obvious void of extremely health conscious food delivery, and one cannot help but notice the attention to detail, customer service, gluten and dairy free options, etc. if you have a positive post to contribute, please do!

Lovely store, but one thing I noticed is that there is a Very Limited selection of Greeting Cards .... When picking up some flowers for a friend I wanted to pick up a card to go with it too but the Pickens Were Slim...
With such a wealth of Local Artists here in Pleasanton, I think they should contact some to get some Beautifully Artistic Cards available for customers that Need a card to go with their Floral Gifts.
Other than that, a Lovely Store ~

Man who assaulted duo is spared jail
9:30am Tuesday 20th November 2012 in News
A MAN who assaulted two men in their home avoided jail at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.
Julian Dore, 35, admitted two offences of common assault and breaching a suspended sentence on August 10 this year.
At about 7.30pm he barged his way into the home of Luke McShane and James Franklin in Ridings Close, Stonesfield, Witney, where he attacked them. The pair had no visible injuries.
Dore was previously given a seven- month sentence suspended for 24 months in July 2011 for assault causing actual bodily harm and witness intimidation.
Judge Mary Mowat ordered Dore to complete a six-month alcohol treatment requirement, a further 12- month supervision order and imposed a curfew of 7pm to 6am for three months.

Appearance - This one poured a beautiful, brownish-orange in color. It was cloudy but glowing at the same time. The big, white head came up nicely, showed good retention, and left some cool-looking pits of foam on top of the liquid.
Smell - This Quadrupel reeks of orange rind. Beneath that smell the toasted malts and citrus hops are filled with giant, powdering spices. I can also pick up a hint of yeast. This is a very complex nose and I'm sure I'm not doing it justice here.
Taste - The yeast came out much bigger at the taste. The rindy orange didn't disappoint and came along from the nose as well. The big, heavily-sweetened orange and cranberry juices stole the show, though.
Mouthfeel - This one is medium to full-bodied with some light carbonation. It is creamy and rich in texture with a finish that is both sweet and dry at the same time.
Drinkability - I felt like a king drinking this bottle. It is very well-balanced and is the "grand-cru" of the Urthel line.
Update - I popped a bottle for 2005 and was equally as pleased. The Appearance could not have been better so I'm raising this rating from 4.5 to 5.0. This is a top notch Quad that delivers in spades and, IMO, is underrated.
Update - I came upon a 2008 the other day so am taking my time at enjoying another bomber. This ranks right up there with the classic Quads like the 12s brothers and 3P.
Update - I got a hold of a 2010. This really is a fantastic beer and unlike others of the style is not overly sweetened. There's actually some mild bitterness here that balances out the monster malt profile. This really is a fascinating Quad and I never get tired of exploring the different vintages. Best of all, if you want to age this you can put it away for five years and get a monster sugar-bomb.

Poured from a 750 ml into a chalice style glass.
A: Clear pale ruby-brown in color. Rougher pour produced about a 1/4" of off-white head with low retention and good lacing. Light ring of bubbles rings the glass.
S: An interesting mix of candied brown sugar, fig, malts, and a clear presence of alcohol. Nothing in the way of hops comes forth.
T: Complex malts and a heavy sense of alcohol dominate in a semi-dry taste profile. The warming in this is closer to a red wine than beer and the mouthfeel isn't far off either. Aside from the alcohol, the flavors are relatively mild and mingle well with each other.
M&D: Mouthfeel is moderate really but the alcohol really brings on a heavier feel. Carbonation is relatively light but persistent. The strength of the brew is distracting to me, but the more you drink the more tolerable it becomes. Overall pretty good, but it's something I really need to be in the mood for.

A 750ml bottle served in a tulip glass. This beer was a ruby red color with a medium-sized white head that left a little bit of lacing. It had a sweet, fruity aroma. I would describe the aroma as that of cranberry orange bread. The taste was fruity, with a strong malt presence. Hops kicked in late. Maybe a little bit on the sweet side, but a truly enjoyable beer.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into a chalice. The bottle has no freshness or born on date, only a bottle number. (k28c7)
Appearance: It has a deep reddish burgundy colored body with a small beige head. The body also has a very hazy or cloudy appearance with lots of yeast sediment in it. Its head is short lived and leaves just a small ring of foam on top, around the edge of the glass. Lacing is very minimal.
Smell: In the nose I get nice fruity esters of golden raisons, figs, fig cake, liquorish and candy sugar. There is also a mellow brandy like boozy note that surrounds all the nice fruitiness.
Taste/Palate: With complexity like this it's hard to find a place to start. It has a deep rich full body with complex bready and fruity maltiness. Within it there are nice notes of golden raisons, dark sweet cherries, fig/fig cake, red liquorish, caramel and some raw grain maltiness. These notes all slowly reveal themselves with each sip and they are embraced by a pleasant brandy like warmth. The finish is still some what sweet but there are some dryer earthy yeast tones moving in here as well as some lightly spicy hop notes that bring mild bitterness. Its texture has a good firm smooth feel with plenty of soft carbonation to keep thing lively and set up the palate for the next sip.
Notes: Overall this is an outstanding Quad in my opinion. Its complex, it's big, it's pleasantly boozy, it drinks well, and the only thing I can really pick on here is the head retention and lacing. Well done!!!

large bottle, caged and corked, no freshness indication, but the label reader is informed twice that this is "Belgium's newest cult classic" pours clear glistening, light almond amber, minimal yeast in the bottle, near white puffy head, leaving, gobs of fine and scattered lacing and high quality sheeting. Nose is full of alcohol, some vanilla and honey. Strong, heady brew, lucious and smooth mouthfeel, notes of spicy honey,vanilla, pepper, warming alcohol. Nicely rounded flavors, fruity, with a spicy hoppy finish, clearly a high quality sipper. More B.A. worthy Belgian brew from Urthel. Well worth seeking out and enjoying

I bought this at Union Jack's on the Manatawny. I drank it in a goblet. "Belgium's Newest Cult Classic" on the label. 11.5%.
Pours a cloudy (I almost always pour in the yeast) amber orange with a two finger head of off-white foam. The head falls to a nice coating and a ring, with very good lacing. Carbonation looks medium.
Aroma is dark malt, brown sugar, and spices like black pepper, cinammon, and vanilla. Pretty decent phenolics and some alcohol in there also. Smells great.
The first flavor is huge brown sugar/molasses and yeast, followed by some good phenolics. Hop bitterness is low. Spices like pepper, cinammon, vanilla, and maybe nutmeg are right there. Sweetness is high, , and the alcohol is very well hidden. Too well! Aftertaste is sweet, dark, and warm. (Sounds like a good woman!)
Mouthfeel is full bodied, with medium carbonation. This has a HUGE mouthfeel; lots of residual sugar. The finish isa warm, with great burps.
This is a delicious beer; huge, but very well made. It has some Belgian funk, but not much. Malt is the star in this one, along with the work of the yeast. Highly recommended.

Bottle with a BB date of 01-2014.
A-Murky reddis-brown color with lots of bubbly carbonation and a filmy tan head.
S-Strong whiffs of sweet malt (grape and plums) with a hint of alcohol.
T-Alcohol definitely there, not nearly as well hidden as some other quads. This overshadows the sweet malts-a strong rum raisin taste.
M-Somewhat thin bodied for a quad. Heavily carbonated.
D-This ia definitely a sipper, I enjoyed it a bit more as it warmed, this is a nice night cap. Not a beer to start your night with.
O-The smell is better than the taste experience. Lacks malt backbone and is overburdened with the high alcohol. I'll give it a try after it sits in the cellar for a couple years.

Urthel Samaranth 12 Quadrium, sounding in name more like a star in the Horsehead Nebula than an ale, announces its presence to the nose with all the subtlety of a supernova. Huge sugars, noticeable from several inches away, float from the bottle and smell of brown sugar, candied figs, lychee nut, and cognac.
On the tongue, the brew is as complex as wine and quite penetrating. Fruit esters including bananas, oranges, lychee nut, and white grape stream through the mouth, orbiting a huge caramel and brown sugar malt base. Vanilla and nut meteors pound the earth, and strong cognac flavors streak the sky above, setting the atmosphere awash in what is, unfortunately, quite a strong alcohol burn (11% ABV). The aftertaste is a blister of the above, dominated by alcohol-laced candied fruits. Mouthfeel is medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, while the flavors in here are superb, the ale is hindered by the poorly-disguised alcohols, which tend to overpower everything else--especially as one gets deeper into the bottle. The tastebuds simply can't handle the strain, and collapse into Urthel's vodka-sting event horizon. Approach with caution, and drink very slowly.

Had on tap at Brouwer's Cafe in Seattle, labeled on the beer list as Urthel Quadrupel so I am assuming this is it. Came in the proper Urthel glassware a surprising bright candy red, I was expecting something a bit darker...very nice looking nonetheless. Taste was strong with malts mixed with yeast born fruitiness....alcohol is fairly well hidden although the finish is quite warming. A much different beer than say Rochefort 10...an interesting beer to try if you have the chance.

Big 750 ml bottle...first glass is surprisingly clear, later ones are lightly sedimented. Bright deep darker orange color -- big frothy yellow foam. Laces in sticky globs and sheets. Spicy aroma along with a vanilla-infused custard smell, nice. Heavy cinnamon sense comes on in the flavor quickly, but so is an impressive bittering that gets a little on the annoying side. Maltiness is good up front, some sense of pear and cherry but the body seems a little thin for as big a beer as this. Finishes dry with alcoholic heat. For a Quad, I was surprised how bitter and dry this one was (similarities to the Tripel recipe ?). Combined with the alcohol, this was less drinkable than I was expecting.

On tap at the Sharpe Edge Emporium, appears a deep ruby amber tone sorta cloudy leaves fine belgian style lacing as the off white head dwindles slowly. Aroma contains lucious fruity highlights of plum, raisins, tart apple, and alcohol tones also presents a light herbal hop tone. Taste comes off a bit tart with the fruit tones a deep rich sweetness caramel malts with all of the raisin, apple, plum notes finishes with a mildly alcoholic finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied smooth easy going brew very soft carbonation and very flavorful. Drinkability very nice another winner from Urthel love the Hop-It as well, great quad not over the top way too drinkable.

Pours a creamy off-white head over glowing red-orange, slightly hazy, body. Moderate lace left clingling to the my snifter glass. Aromas of sweet orange, a crisp citric character, and a malty backbone. The taste has similar components but noticeably more complex. The sweet orange character is present, but not as much of a player as in the nose. Here on the tongue a complex mixture of sweet malt, honey, caramel, light buttery diaceytl, biscuits and toffee are up front, giving way to a nice spicy and crisp, mildly citric, finish. Exceptionally smooth but with a slightly drying finish, medium to full body overall. Warming.
I first sampled this last year at Arbor Brewing Company's Belgian tasting. I was so impresssed that I went out the next day and purchased some for more intensive 'sampling'. It's been a favorite ever since. Beware: the alcohol in this little fellow can sneak up on you. An excellent beer for winter-time hibernation.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a dense deep copper body with a reddish glow at the base and a super thick light tan head that sticks to the glass with each sip.
S-The smell of dark sugar and a vinous note comes through during the pour. There is some dry sweetness and more dark sugar layers as the beer opens.
T- The dry brown sugar flavor has some caramel notes and a roasted malt flavor that is soft but grows a bit as the beer warms. There is a soft cream cheese note and a sherry taste to the finish with a soft sweetness to the finish. The aftertaste has a touch of bitterness but I'm not sure if it is hops or dark malt. There are some cherry cola notes to the dark sugar as the beer warms a bit.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a soft fizz and a warm alcohol heat that turns into a soft burn as the beer opens up.
O- This beer has some nice flavors but not a great deal of depth and a pleasant alcohol that works with the soft sweetness.

Ruby colour, small white head. Aroma is not good at all, smells like chemical solvents and that ruins it. Apart from that i find Burnt sugar and dark fruit in the aroma, maybe with a hint of honey. Flavour is better than the aroma lets on, but it is overwhelmingly sweet to an extent that it takes over all the other flavours, with that said I do find some nice notes of dark fruit, honey and port that makes this beer interesting enough to get a rather good mark for flavour. Palate is ordinary for the style.

This pours a clear reddish amber with a huge head. The head has a million tiny bubbles,alot of carbonation in this beer. The smell is candy sugar and smoked wood. The aroma is very sweet with abit of a hop afterscent. The taste is sweet with candy,smoked wood, hops, and maybe an apple aftertaste. The m/f is medium and very well balanced. This is a very drinkable quadrupel, The alcohol is sudued. I would highly recommend this.

750 mL corked and caged bottle. Cork stamped 07/08.
Served cool into a globe, Samaranth has a hazy dark brown color with redish highlights. The head is thick and long lasting with spotty lace left behind.
Aroma is sweet and rich with lots of dark fruit and spice.
Flavor is very intense and surprisingly sweet. Tons of dark fruit again here with cherries, raisins, plums, and purple grape candy. Spice notes of clove, cinnamon, and allspice.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with balance leaning towards sweetness. Medium carbonation, about right for the style. Alcohol is noticible but not hot.
Overall, a solid quad but far from spectacular.

Ubuntu 11.04 Drops Release Candidate
Kate Stewart, Ubuntu Release Manager at Canonical, announced on the ubuntu-devel announce mailing list there will be no release candidate for the Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwal release.
What does this means for Natty?
It means Natty will go from Beta 2 into the final release.
Why is this being done?
To avoid releasing a RC over a holiday—many community testers and developers may not have the opportunity to raise or respond to issues.
Does this mean Ubuntu will slip a release?
No. It means they have re-arrange the release milestones in order to get the greatest amount of testing and fixes prior to the scheduled release date without having to worry about whether the community testers missed an update because of a holiday.
What will the release schedule be now?
The remainder of the release schedule is April 14th, 2011 Beta 2 release, the April 21st RC has been dropped and the final release is still scheduled for April 28th, 2011.

A cowboy's work is dusty in summer season and freezing cold in winter. Year-around they face the elements in a job that is still a reality in the west. It's a hard job that can be dangerous when dealing with the unpredictable nature of animals. Farmers and ranchers provide food and fiber for all of us. And it's usually a family affair. Not only are there many cowboys in the West River area of South Dakota, but cowgirls, too. Jamie Crew, 19, is the daughter of ranchers Grady and Bernice Crew and when she is not riding the range, she is a student at the University of Wyoming.

Since we're entering the stretch run of the NBA season, this seems like an appropriate time to take stock of all the NBA teams with a shot to win the Big Larry. We'll do this every Tuesday.
Winning Percentage (Win%)
1. San Antonio Spurs .776 (64-18)
2. Miami Heat .741 (61-21)
3. Oklahoma City Thunder .732 (60-22)
4. Los Angeles Clippers .690 (57-25)
5. Memphis Grizzlies .673 (55-27)
The number in parentheses is the W-L record each team is on pace to obtain. The average W-L record of a championship team is 58-24, so the Clippers and Grizzlies probably better kick it up a notch. Meanwhile, when is Eastern Conference basketball going to improve?
Margin of Victory (MoV)
1. Oklahoma City Thunder +9.05
2. San Antonio Spurs +8.45
3. Miami Heat +7.06
4. Los Angeles Clippers +6.29
5. Indiana Pacers +4.27
I'm not sure why Indiana doesn't have a better record; perhaps it's the fact that they haven't had their core together very long and they're young. Oklahoma City is a tiny bit older, but it seems like Durant and Westbrook have been around for like ten years. Surprised that the Spurs aren't #1 here?
Simple Rating System (SRS)
1. Oklahoma City Thunder 8.89
2. San Antonio Spurs 8.39
3. Miami Heat 6.91
4. Los Angeles Clippers 6.25
5-6. Denver Nuggets 3.88
5-6. Memphis Grizzlies 3.88
What is "Simple Rating System"? It is Margin of Victory + Strength of Schedule, which is why Indiana is missing from this list. They have played, according to basketball-reference.com, the weakest schedule in the NBA. (New Orleans has played the toughest) And yes, the Spurs have played a tougher schedule than OKC, which is why they are closer to the Thunder in SRS than they are in MoV.
Bill James' NBA Power Ratings (James)
1. Oklahoma City Thunder 209.0
2. San Antonio Spurs 208.9
3. Miami Heat 207.2
4. Los Angeles Clippers 206.2
5. Denver Nuggets 204.3
Bill James is one of my favorite thinkers, and of course he is best known as a baseball writer. Frankly, I trust him more on basketball than most basketball writers. Interesting that the top five here is virtually identical to the SRS top five, or at least it's interesting to me.
John Hollinger's Power Ratings (Hollinger)
1. Oklahoma City Thunder 109.33
2. San Antonio Spurs 109.26
3. Miami Heat 108.71
4. Houston Rockets 105.75
5. Los Angeles Clippers 105.62
Wow, Houston? Good for them. I hope they win the eighth spot and we finish with the #1. We owe them.
Our first three lists - Win%, Mov, SRS - are full-season indicators. These last two lists are power ratings, a look at who's playing well recently. It looks like no matter how you slice it, Miami should pretty well waltz out of the East - I think Indiana is the only team that could take more than two games off them - and the West will again come down to our boys and the Thunder, with the Clippers having a puncher's chance to get out of the West if things go right for them.
Still a lot of basketball left, though. Go Spurs Go!

Working in tandem with GM Mark Dominik, head coach Greg Schiano cleaned up the Buccaneers' roster before the season to remove players he did not believe had adequately bought into his system.
He also stood by Aqib Talib, despite the cornerback's checkered past, which included testing positive for marijuana in college, fighting a teammate at the NFL's Rookie Symposium, hitting a teammate in the face with his helmet during a fight at practice in 2009 and allegedly punching a Tampa-area cab driver later in '09 (resulting in a one-game suspension).
With Talib facing a felony charge in the offseason for a March 2011 incident, Schiano praised Talib's focus and commitment in June, two weeks before Talib's trial for assault with a deadly weapon was due to begin. Talib would have been facing significant jail time, a lengthy suspension and his release from the Bucs had he been found guilty, but the charges against him were dropped.
The Bucs' first-year head coach is still supportive of Talib in the wake of Talib's four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Talib said his positive test was the result of taking an Adderall pill around the beginning of training camp. While "disappointed" in Talib, Schiano has said welcoming him back after his suspension ends Nov. 5 will be best for the team.
There has been speculation that the Bucs privately might be shopping Talib to other teams ahead of the Week Eight trade deadline. The market for a talented corner in the prime of his career, as Talib is, was set before the season, when the Dolphins traded CB Vontae Davis to the Colts for a 2013 second-round pick and a conditional late-round pick. A deal for Talib would be complicated by his contract situation — he's in the final year of his rookie deal — and his status as a repeat offender of the league's personal-conduct policy. As a result, it appears that Talib's future this season is with the Bucs.

Salisbury, MD. What is "The Jamie Oliver Food Revolution" philosophy?
The answer is simple: if we love our kids, we've got to raise them to be healthier adults. There are several components to raising a child to become a healthy adult and Jamie Oliver primarily addresses the quality nutrition part of the equation.
So, why should we get behind the "Jamie Oliver Food Revolution"? Two reasons come to mind: 1) partly because it's the right thing to do and 2) partly because it's our fault.
"What?????", you are no doubt screaming. You heard me, "partly because it's our fault"! Yes, let's stop and think for a moment about how we got where we are:
* In the 1940's and 1950's, when the Gardening Grannies were growing up, some of them lived on farms and some of them lived in towns. All of them had parents who had lived through The Great Depression and had carried over their parents' tradition of a Victory Garden. The Gardening Grannies, despite the fact that most of them grew up poor by today's standards, ate "fresh" most of the time.
* When the Gardening Grannies went to school, those who could afford to purchase school lunches, ate some pretty unidentifiable "stuff". There was "mystery meat", mushy canned vegetables, lettuce with brown edges that passed for salad and tapioca pudding that stuck to your spoon like glue. Ketchup was the primary seasoning. It was awful and everybody hated it, but they ate enough to get by because they knew what would happen if word got to their parents that they had used good money for a lunch they didn't eat.
* In the late 1950's the first "drive in" appeared and the Gardening Grannies, now high schoolers, gravitated to it like flies to….uh….fertilizer. Hamburgers, french fries and milk shakes became frequent fare.
* Then came McDonald's and other chain fast foods. They were everywhere! The Grannies, by now, were married and juggling families and children of their own. And then, later, grandchildren. Some of the Grannies didn't live near to their parents and didn't have the family support that their parents had experienced. Most of them still had small gardens, but the pace of life never slowed and neither did the growth of the fast food chains. Fast food was so convenient and "inexpensive".
* Now, however, when the kids hated the school lunches, the parents brought pressure on the schools to "do better". The schools followed suit by mimicking what the kids got at home, adding pizzas, subs, french fries and chocolate milk to satisfy the changing taste of kids….regardless as to whether it was or was not good for them. And the kids ate their lunches.
* Beginning the day with pop tarts or sugared cereals, progressing to sugar/fat/salt-laden lunches at school and wrapping it up the day with something a parent figure picked up at a fast food place on the way home from work our kids rarely see a vegetable now days. With ketchup being the most (and sometimes only) consumed "vegetable", is it any wonder our kids suffer from mal nutrition and extra poundage (and all the ills that come with it) they simply won't grow out of?
So what do we do now? How do we reverse this fatal trend? The Gardening Grannies will have some specific suggestions tomorrow.
The Gardening Grannies, a group of avid and Master Gardeners, live, love and garden on Delmarva. They can be reached at email@example.com.

Had on cask at the brewpub
Appearance - poured a deeper copper color with a nice head. A bit haze.
Smell - A nice floral note meets the noise with a little bit of maltines later on.
Taste - Meet with some floral hop spiciness with a bit of pine coming in later on. A nice malty taste was present thoughout the whole tasting experience.
Mouthfeel - For an on-cask brew it had a rather nice level of carbonation and for the ABV it had actually a thinker mouthfeel then would have been expected.
Overall - A pretty good brew and one worth trying.

Serveed on cask via a hand pump at the brewpub on 10/19/08.
Pours a hazy, golden orange with a finger of EXTREMELY creamy off-white head. A 1/2 finger of retention just sits there like a rock, sticking around and leaving gigantic rings of sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. The aroma is yummy smelling mix of floral hops, citrus character, and pale malt sweetness underneath.
The taste ia a mellow, sweet tasting mix of tangy citrus, light grainy malts, and just a touch of bitterness in the back for balance. The mouthfeel is light bodied with an incredibly smooth and creamy feel. Finishes sweet and tangy on the lips.
This is just about the definition of a session beer on cask with it's silky smooth flavor profile and creamy, easy drinking body. Great stuff that you could go to again and again.

Light copper colored body with a good head. Looks like a standard beer that would come out of a hand pumped beer engine.
Smells of lots of floral hope notes, a touch of sweetness and some sweet grains. Very nice.
Taste is also good. Very slight bitterness from the hops with the floral notes coming through once again. Some citrus and fruity sweetness. Pale tasting malts reminiscent of cereal.
Always have trouble grading a cask beer's mouthfeel, but this is rather light bodied.
Very drinkable, I could drink a ton of this stuff. Pretty awesome bitter.

The beer pours a nice gold color with a thick and creamy offwhite head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a very malty scent with just a mild hop aroma at best. The taste is decent as well. It has a smooth, malty flavor that boasts of pale and light crystal malts along with a nice hop bitterness. It goes down like water and finishes a bit thin. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This a malty brew that tastes very nicely off the cask.

Had this on cask last night at Zeno's, State College, PA. Had it poured into a pint glass from the cask...
A: Very clear light copper with a nice, creamy and frothy white head. Lightly carbonated, but was very sticky and laced nicely to the glass.
S: Smell of very floral hops, but nothing extremely bitter. Minor malt characteristics and cereal grains coming through also.
T: This was a very refreshing bitter. It went down smoothly with a nice taste of pine hops. The bitterness was there, but not by much. It was a very mild bitterness that blended well with the malt body.
Overall, this was a good bitter that, while not overly complex, was very refreshing and moderately flavorful.

Pulled by hand-pump into a shaker glass. Appearance is a nice amber with a white head. Aroma is subtle... some floral hops, some cereal grains, touch of sweetness. Flavor echos this with some slight citric notes & faintly honeyish sweetness. Feels light and somewhat creamy (from the cask tap) on the way down. Perhaps just a touch too light. Compares favorably to the imperial pint sized bottles of Youngs bitters. Very pleasant session beer because of easy drinkability. Recommended.

3.93/5 rDev -2.7%
This is a tasty simple easy drinking smooth English bitter. I was in the middle of a 4 hour drive and I stopped at Zeno's for one pint and a growler fill before hitting the road again. This is a beer I could easily handle one before needing to drive again.
Appearance: Served an amber copper with a creamy white head and very nice lacing .
Smell: The aroma is reserved but pleasant. It has a light bread malt, caramel element and a touch of floral hops.
Taste: Simple and approachable just as an English bitter should be IMO. A mild floral (and slightly citrus) character, blends gently into honey and caramelized sweet malts.
Mouthfeel: It does feel light and maybe even a bit too light but the cask gives it a creamy feel that makes up for it and overall it probably appeals to a large market that prefer an approachable beer.
Drinkability: This is the epitome of session beer. This is a go-to session style and this beer is no expectation. Nice easy dinking beer.
Hope this is helpful.

Served as a medium copper colored beer with white puffy head. Very attractive lacing as the beer was slowly consumed. Smell is malty and caramelly, with a touch of hops. Taste was full of caramel with a nice balance of hops. Finished nice and creamy, giving a pleasant mouth experience. Perfectly drinkable. What a session beer should taste like.

3.8/5 rDev -5.9%
This hand-pumped ale is a slightly cloudy orange-brown color with a light brown, creamy head that mostly diminished before my first taste, but still had some decent lacing. Aroma is very mild and floral. Taste is floral as well with a light caramel sweetness to balance out its bitterness. Finish has a nice nutty flavor and is average to short in duration. The mouthfeel is very light with a creamy texture. Nothing earth-shattering here, but a nice drinkable beer nevertheless.

---- — Big Game
The Manchester Essex boys soccer team is still fighting for its postseason life. At 6-7-3 the Hornets need three points over their final two games and it starts this afternoon at Georgetown (3:45 p.m.). Manchester Essex can afford no less than a tie to keep its Division 3 state tournament hopes alive.
The last time the two teams met they battled to a draw in a game that the Hornets controlled from start to finish. Georgetown got the game tying goal with less than 10 minutes to play in the contest.
Manchester Essex is peeking at the right time fresh off the heels of a two game winning streak against CAL Small champs Rockport and Ipswich.
Player of
the Week@text1:
Devin McCourty's key fourth quarter fumble on a kick return during the Patriots 29-26 overtime win over the Jets on Sunday was not enough to keep him from being recognized by the NFL.
The Patriots defensive back and kick returner was named the AFC's Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday on the back of his 104 yard kickoff return for a touchdown, a touchdown that tied the game at 7-7 in the first quarter.
Although he nearly cost his team the game in the fourth when is aforementioned fumble helped the Jets secure a go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady and the Pats battled back to tie the game late in the fourth and win in overtime letting McCourty off the hook.
Isles on the move
The Brooklyn Nets are soon going to have company in the New York City borough, the New York Islanders of the NHL are planning to make the move from Long Island to Brooklyn.
The team announced Wednesday that it is moving to Brooklyn to play its home games at the Barclays Center, where the Nets play, beginning in the 2015-2016 season.
The Islanders will remain the New York Islanders and the team's logo will not change.

Scott Brown, a six-time adaptive national team member, is one of the most decorated athletes in Paralympic rowing's brief international history. For Brown, who began rowing with the Philadelphia Rowing Program for the Disabled in 1989, the 2008 Paralympic Games may prove to be the final chapter of his career. Although Brown missed out on a medal in Beijing, his vision for the sport he loves will keep him involved in the years to come.
Brown says he would like to be able to further promote the sport of adaptive rowing through education and he is hoping to see the talent pool grow both in the U.S. and around the world.
Brown is married and works as a human resource specialist for the U.S. Department of Labor. He enjoys camping, sailing, and canoeing in exotic locations.

New bid to trace belongings stolen from Accrington
9:21am Monday 10th December 2012 in Hyndburn
POLICE are re-appealing for information after a burglary in Accrington.
At around 3.30pm on November 28, a couple returned to their home on Queens Road West to find that the side door had been forced open.
As they entered the house, the retired couple were confronted by a man coming down the stairs.
The man claimed to be a police officer checking on the property but, when challenged by the male owner of the house, a struggle broke out and he was assaulted.
The householder suffered facial injuries and bruising and a laptop and items of jewellery were taken.
They had sentimental value for the family and so officers are renewing their appeal in the hope that the items may eventually be returned.
The laptop held all the couple's family photographs and one of the items of jewellery, a gold link chain bracelet with an oval lapis lazuli, was bought for the woman householder as a 21st birthday present by her mother who has since died.

The good: The JBL On Stage IIIP works with all iPods and the iPhone, and it can be used with other MP3 players as well. It has a small footprint and can be run off of wall power or batteries. Delivers clear audio.
The bad: The JBL On Stage IIIP doesn't offer much bass, and there's no pass-through syncing option; volume controls are testy.

A fantastic personal speaker system when size matters
by nurmahal on February 21, 2009
Pros: Small footprint. Attractive, sophisticated appearance.
Remote control does everything but wipe your rear. Incredibly efficient.
Easy to transport ... 6 AA batteries last for 12 hours.
Best of all ... the sound quality!
Cons: The print on the remote control buttons is hard to see. That is honestly the only negative of which I can think. In the scheme of things, a very small gripe.
Summary: I use my JBL Center Stage IIIP with my generation 4 iPod Nano. There is a lot of mis-information out there regarding compatibility. Some speaker systems out there will only ...
Summary: I use my JBL Center Stage IIIP with my generation 4 iPod Nano. There is a lot of mis-information out there regarding compatibility. Some speaker systems out there will only play, but not charge, this new Nano. My daughter purchased another brand of speaker system and her system plays and charges her 3rd generation iPod Nano, but it will not charge my 4th generation Nano. So, I went to the nearby Apple store at "The Shops at Willow Bend" in Dallas to make sure I bought a system that was fully compatible with ALL generations of Nano including my gen 4. This speaker system is COMPLETELY compatible with my iPod Nano 4th generation. In the box, it comes with several adapters for older generation iPod Nano's, but I just used the adapter that came with my generation 4 ipod and it fits perfectly on the dock. My Nano fits securely in place using that adapter. When you buy an iPod Nano, be sure to hang on to the adapter that comes with it, but in case you lose it, they are available from Apple for a small charge.
If you want a speaker system for playing at parties, for large rooms, make the investment and get yourself a Bose system. I am a big Bose fan. You won't regret the extra money well-spent. But if what you need is a small, portable, attractive speaker system that will literally fit anywhere and has amazingly good sound quality ... the JBL Center Stage IIIP is absolutely a perfect choice. This particular JBL speaker system fits my needs better than any other system ... and I checked them all out. I recommend looking at how you will use a speaker system and then buying accordingly ... big, quality sound for a large room or parties - Bose; high quality sound at more modest volume levels that you can place on a nightstand, computer workstation, bathroom, bedroom, etc - JBL Center Stage IIIP.
Let's face it, this is a very small speaker system for NOT a small amount of money. When I got home and plugged in my Nano to this JBL and played the first song, a sense of relief and satisfaction came over me. It really is worth the money. The clarity of the sound is just great. You can understand every word in the lyrics being sung. And that is something I normally could not decipher some of the time with other speaker systems. I'm not going to tell you a thunderous bass eminates from this tiny system, but I was surprised to find that the bass is definitely there. That's a break-through coming from such small speakers. I don't know how JBL did it, but I am grateful.
When you are playing an iPod on a speaker system, you do not want to have to touch the iPod itself. Some speaker system's remote only perform limited functions. This little remote DOES EVERYTHING. I've been able to fully run up and down my Nano's menu screens using the remote. Never have to touch the Nano itself. There is space directly on top of the JBL to place the remote (behind the Nano) when not in use. And you'll want to keep it there when not being used because you do not want to lose this very small remote ... the Center Stage itself only has volume control buttons on it, whereas the remote does everything.
In the C-Net review of this system they mention the volume control being too touchy or in some cases not sensitive enough. Specifically, what they mean is that if you use the volume control on the system base itself, the increments increased or decreased with each touch of one of the buttons are larger increments than what will occur when you touch the volume controls on the remote. Personally, I like the larger increments you get from one touch of the volume control buttons on the base unit. But the volume control on the remote works fine, you just have to touch the volume buttons several times to get the same impact you'd get from using the base unit buttons. But I do agree with them that the remote's volume control is kind of sensitive. I have no issue with the base unit's volume control. Both volume controls work ... just differently.
As I type these thoughts, I have my JBL playing. So very glad I made this purchase. It meets my specific needs perfectly. Only you can determine what your needs are, but the JBL Center Stage IIIP is a valid option for many people.

Don't be fooled by its looks.
by masterdam11 on December 22, 2010
Pros: -Looks good
-Remote control, easy to carry around.
-Treble is decent, rather too HIGH.
-Clear loud sound due to the Highs.
-OK for "some" movies (ie NOT action movies though..)
Cons: -Any kind of music over 128kps will create this buzzing,humming sound.
-BASS DOES NOT EXIST. LOWS simply doesn't exist, therefore can't hide or revive it.
-Bought it for $120, 2yrs later MSRP @ $80 on "Jbl's homepage." Refurbished $10-20.
Summary: Stuck with it, too pricey to throw away, no value to re-sell away...
If your looking for sound quality, DO NOT BUY THESE.

Excessive mains hum / background noise
by Ken519 on June 6, 2009
Pros: Looks nice
Reasonably flat for a suit case
Sound OK once you crank the volume to overcome the mains hum
Cons: Very loud mains hum so load unable to use the iPod as alarm clock since it keeps you awake with the hum. Also emits a pulsing background noise when iPod is on but not playing.
Summary: Purchased it with idea of having iPod music on business trips and using iPod alarm clock plus charging the iPod. Attracted by the looks and its reasonably flat pack plus ...
Summary: Purchased it with idea of having iPod music on business trips and using iPod alarm clock plus charging the iPod. Attracted by the looks and its reasonably flat pack plus dual voltage etc. However the background noise is so bad that I cannot use it as an alarm clock and have to crank the volume pretty high to overcome this noise.
I will probably leave it in the garbage (trash) can when I leave this hotel.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Not even worthy of a HALF STAR
by jgbayarea on October 20, 2008
Pros: Nothing. Product never worked.
Cons: Everything. Horrible JBL customer service. Defective Product.

Summary: I bought this product over two 1/2 months ago, and it was defected. I returned it to JBL for an exchange. I had to pay for return shipment plus insurance of their defective dock. It took them two months to ship me out a new product. I called and they would give me an eta, but then push it back every two weeks. So finally I receive my product in the mail and it was the WRONG PRODUCT. It was the on Stage III not IIIP(for IPhone). So I paid close to $200.00(including the tax and the return shipping) and I don't even have the right dock. Do not buy!!!
