Earlier today, it was reported that the Atlanta Braves have signed B.J. Upton to a five-year deal worth roughly $75 million. The Braves had tabbed Upton as their top free agent target this winter, and it seems like they have their man.
Braves' fans seem to be taking the news positively, as the folks over at SBNation's Braves' affiliate, Talking Chop, have reacted rather well. Some have voiced displeasure, though.
Head-writer gondeee likes the balance that Upton will bring to the Braves' lineup:
"He (Upton) brings with him a rare speed and power combo that will match well with Jason Heyward in the outfield and in the middle of the order. He is also right-handed, which is a big reason the Braves targeted him -- needing a right-handed bat in the middle of the order to balance out the left-handedness of Heyward, Freddie Freeman, and Brian McCann."
Here are some of the reactions from commenters:
We shall see...
It was gonna cost a lot to get even an average CF in free agency. If he gets better with coaching, this could be a great deal. If he doesn't get better it is a mediocre, but necessary deal.

I am completely cool with this.
I am considering unbanning Chopmaster. What do you think? :-)

I like this signing. I could very well be wrong, but I just have this feeling that bossman junior might turn the page here. Plus given the possibilities out on the market, I think this was the best choice. If he gives us what he's been giving it's market value, but if he starts capitalizing on his actual potential it could be a steal.
Everyone seems to be coming around... Well I'm not Doug!

Mixed feelings
Upton has incredible talent. Have to hope that a change of scenery combined with a veteran clubhouse makes this work. If we end up with .240/.330/.440 and 160k (even with 20HR and 20SB) for the next five years, it will make this contract very difficult to stomach. Could be another Andruw circa 2007.

Dont get me wrong, Upton is a good player, but the Braves just cant afford to give guys like this 15 million dollars a year. Especially one already trending downward.
This will be Dan Uggla part 2. Good thing we have all our money tied up with the two guys who will be near the bottom of the league in OBP, and top of the league in Ks

Catwoman (Volume 2)Starring: Selena Kyle as Catwoman.With only one limited series to her credit in her entire 50 year history, Selina Kyle finally stole the spotlight in her first ongoing series by writer Jo Duffy and artist Jim Balent. Spinning out of the pages of the large scale "Knightfall" crossover, Catwoman's adventures began when the criminal Bane sought to have some control over her. With an emphasis on international intrigue as well as the occasional jewel heist, Catwoman delivered nonstop action for 94 issues before being relaunched into a second series. Catwoman gained her own rogues gallery in this series including Hellhound, Cyber-cat and She-cat.

Brad Keselowski likely won't have to worry about missing the Chase for the Sprint Cup this year after winning yesterday's Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway when Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran out of fuel on the final lap while leading.
The victory capped a stellar weekend for Keselowski, who also held off Kyle Busch on Saturday to win the 300-mile race for the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
NBCSN's Kelli Stavast spoke with the 2012 Cup champion in Victory Lane yesterday, and you can catch the interview during today's episode of NASCAR AMERICA at 5 p.m. ET on NBCSN and on NBC Sports Live Extra.
Despite losing out, Earnhardt remains on a white-hot start with three consecutive Top-2 finishes. He's now just the fifth driver to begin a Cup season in that fashion (Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson being the others), and Marty Snider will have more on that in a report from Hendrick Motorsports headquarters.
Plus, NBCSN contributor Jeff Burton will talk about how the Gen-6 car worked with the new rules package from his perspective after finishing 17th in yesterday's race.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — The Community Hospital Anderson Tennis Classic is holding its own as it enters its 34th season today at Anderson University.
Flying in the face of summer vacations and competition for the recreation dollar, the 2013 version of this Anderson summer staple is just about at the same level of participation as a year ago.
"We are down between 17 and 25 entries," said tournament director John Rhodes. "When you look at the entries of most of the other tournaments around, they are down a bit as well. A lot of people seem to be on vacation at this time. It is something we'll look at when this tournament is over. Maybe we need to move the dates."
Still, the high profile divisions contain a good deal of star power.
In the Men's A Singles, the two giants are still perched in opposite ends of the bracket and are pointed toward another title showdown. Alex Poe and Chris Zellinga are seeded No. 1 and 2 respectively. Both are scheduled to be in action at 11:15 a.m. Zellinga will face Matthew Conrad and Poe takes on Rishi Patel.
Those top two seeds could meet in Men's A Doubles as well. Poe is teaming with Ben Wilson and they are the No. 2 seeds while Zellinga is at No. 1, teaming with Colin Atkinson. Neither of those teams will play before Monday.
The Women's A Singles is less populated but Marcy Huck is the top seed and Carly Wilson is No. 2. In Women's A Doubles, Alex and Michaela Hammel are the top seeds and the No. 2 team is Beth Zellinga and Kayla Negley.
Due to IHSAA high school moratorium rules, the varsity divisions can't play before Monday. Lucas Bolt has the top seed in Boys Varsity Singles, while Charlie Webster and Grant Esposito are the top seeds in Boys Varsity Doubles.
The Girls Varsity Singles should be entertaining with 25 entrants. Carly Wilson is the top seed and Hannah McKissick is No. 2. But Emma McCardwell and Alexys Rastetter are both threats as well. In Girls Varsity Doubles, McCardwell and Dana Huck are the top seeds.
"We've got enough events for all types of players," said Rhodes. "With our backdraw, somebody can lose the opening match and still play for quite a while if they keep winning (in the consolation bracket)."
Many of the groups have levels 'A' through 'D,' allowing every skill level a division in which they can compete.
"We think people can come out and watch all levels of tennis and see some really competitive matches," said Rhodes.
Many of the championship matches will be held on the final weekend, July 13 and 14.

Parents of Simonstone teenager killed in road crash launch drink drive campaign
9:00pm Saturday 1st December 2012 in News
A FESTIVE crackdown on drink driving has been launched with the help of the parents of a teenager killed the morning after a party.
The annual operation will see police officers across the county breathalyse and drugs test thousands of drivers around the clock at high-profile checkpoints.
Janet and Andrew Alston, who live in Simonstone, joined the campaign after their 18-year-old son Matthew was killed while driving to a friend's house still unknowingly drunk.
The collision happened in Whalley Road at 7am when his black Vauxhall Corsa, which was heading towards Portfield Bar, lost control on a bend and collided with a silver Seat Toledo travelling on the opposite carriageway.
Matthew, who had been to bed after the party, died at the scene as a result of multiple injuries.
His mangled car was on display yesterday at the launch, at Edge Hill University, to highlight the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Mrs Alston said: "Matthew died as a result of driving the morning after he had been out drinking alcohol with friends.
"He drove without realising the amount of alcohol still in his body.
"On that day, when we were told Matt had died, we were just in shock, in a daze.
"It was devastating. Matt was just a normal lad, we are a normal family.
"He was so cheeky; Always laughing and joking. That's something we'll never have again.
"This 'Morning After' campaign highlights the true effects of drinking and driving.
"Too many young drivers are getting behind the wheel when they still have alcohol in their system.
"As Matt's parents we would urge you to really think about the morning after. Are you really sure you're fit to drive, it's not worth the risk so don't even chance it."
Superintendent Richard Morgan said 280 people were killed across the country in accidents where the driver was over the limit last year.
He said: "We are very grateful for the support of two parents who continue to grieve for their son Matthew who was killed in a collision after drink driving.
"They are trying to save someone else from the pain they have endured.
"I would like people to listen to their words and consider the consequences of drinking and driving.
"We will be working throughout the festive period to keep the public safe and want people to enjoy the festive season but to remember the consequences of driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
"Our message is simple – do not drink and drive and do not take drugs and drive."

And dont even think of driving till at least late afternoon the day after. By all means enjoy a good drink, but leave your bloody cars at home. Get a taxi, price of a couple of beers. And if this message does not come across, then you will be caught, killed some one, or dead yourself. Thats my rant over for today. l.o.l

Eagles Complete Sweep with 12-9 Win Over ETSU
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – A six-run sixth inning for the Eagles proved to be the difference as the FGCU baseball team completed a three-game sweep over ETSU with a 12-9 victory on Saturday at Cardinal Park.
The Eagles improve to 29-16 overall and 19-5 in league play, while the Bucs drop to 23-22 overall and 9-15 in conference play.
FGCU reliever Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla.) quieted the ETSU offense limiting the Bucs to three runs on seven hits in 5.0 innings tallying five strikeouts. Bo Reeder was tabbed with the loss after giving up six runs on seven hits in 2.2 innings of work.
Josh Chester (Weston, Fla.) extended his hitting streak to 18 as he drove in two runs in the top of the first with a bases loaded single.
ETSU answered in the bottom of the first as Jacob Fabry came in to score on a RBI single by third baseman Bo Reeder, and Derek Trent drove in Troy Mendez on a ground out to first to tie the game at 2-all.
FGCU retook the lead in the top of the third on a RBI groundout by catcher Robert Greene (Cape Coral, Fla.) and a two-run single Brad Roberts (Tampa, Fla.) to put the Eagles in front 5-2.
Paul Hoilman sent his 11th home run of the season over the fence in right for a solo shot in the bottom of the fourth to cut the Eagles lead to 5-3. Later in the inning, Danny Petro hit a three-run home run over the fence in left center to give the Bucs a 6-5 lead.
Third baseman Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla.) tied the game at 6-all with his 15th home run in the top of the sixth. In the next at bat, Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla.) gave the Eagles a 7-6 lead on a solo home run to right center. FGCU added four more runs in the inning to take an 11-6 lead.
Florida Gulf Coast added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on a RBI single by left fielder Joe Guarnaccia (Davie, Fla.) to extend the Eagles lead to 12-6.
ETSU narrowed the gap in the bottom of the seventh scoring three runs on a RBI single by Trent and a two-run home run by second baseman Ben Allen to bring the score to 12-9.
Six Eagles recorded multiple hits. Upchurch, Roberson, Chester, Wickens, Roberts, and Guarnaccia each had two hits.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Bucs loaded the bases with no outs, but a great play by Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) at second to double up Hoilman at second ended the ETSU rally making the final 12-9.
The Eagles return home to face FAU on Tuesday, May 5th at Swanson Stadium, first pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.

School officials want to dispel any rumors about Smyrna High School having problems with bed bugs.
There were concerns that three classrooms were being affected by the pests. Someone contacted the Daily News Journal in Rutherford County about the possible problem.
The newspaper contacted district officials who said there are no bed bugs at the school.
The rumor may stem from a teacher's home being treated for bed bugs. The school was checked for bedbugs, but none were found.
Clover mites, a bug commonly found in lawn and plants during the spring, were found at the school. The school was treated for the mites on Tuesday.
The district spokesman told the DNJ there have been isolated cases of bed bugs at various schools over the past couple of years but presently there are no cases.

The 2010 bankruptcy of Crystal Cathedral Ministries, founded in 1955 by the Rev. Robert H. Schuller atop a drive-in movie theater's concession stand, stunned much of the church world.
One year later, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange bid $57.5 million for the Crystal Cathedral campus itself, a sprawling facility in the city of Garden Grove, which sits at the heart of Orange County, California. Architects Richard Neutra and Philip Johnson designed the two main buildings on the site — Neutra's Arboretum and Johnson's Crystal Cathedral, now renamed Christ Cathedral. The news these days is that the latter is undergoing massive and much-discussed renovations to transform the space from what was, essentially, a hyper-Protestant television ministry's epicenter into a specifically Catholic liturgical space.
The Los Angeles Times — under the awkward headline, "Changing faiths at the Crystal Cathedral" — looked in on renovations, and while presenting an interesting summary, it seemed to skirt some essential issues. And note that headline on this long, front-page feature story: Is Catholic Christianity really a different FAITH than Protestantism? Aren't both of these flocks part of the Christian faith?
Meanwhile, reporter Rick Rojas, whose beat is a general one covering Orange County, hints at a couple of issues, and that's about it:
The diocese launched a $53-million undertaking to refurbish the complex, moving the congregation of nearby St. Callistus to the Christ Cathedral campus and handing over the old Catholic church to the Crystal Cathedral's refugees. (The transition hasn't gone without tension: The removal of engraved markers, called Walk of Faith stones, during the construction process has upset some of the Schuller followers who bought them.)
Having paid $57.5 million for a 30-year-old structure that had been fairly well maintained, at least until the offering money ran out, one wonders why a nearly identical amount would have to be spent to "refurbish the complex." A few details perhaps?
The Times story hints at some things that will need to be installed: "a traditional altar, a gospel lectern called an ambo and [a] baptismal font," as well as "prominent images of such figures as the Virgin Mary, the apostles and, especially, the church's namesake," i.e., Jesus Christ.

This beer is appropriately named with its nearly opaque body with deep brown hues and a densely laced tan head that is very patient to subside.
Earthy and pine hops highlight the aroma with smoky roasted malt and a touch of mocha.
There is a battle between the smoky malt and earthy hops on the palate with hints of grass and pine.
Medium in body with moderate carbonation and a drying finish; this beer is smooth, yet very present on the palate.
I am not sure exactly where this fits into the style, but it is a good beer. Certainly worth a try.

On tap at the Mellow in Greensboro.Poured into a stanard pint a deep cola color with a 1/2 finger tannish colored head atop.Dark roast and earthy tones with mild bitter chocolate upfront in the nose,piney hops come into play late and linger well.Dry and roasty on the palate mixing with piney hops,light bitter chocolate as well,like others have said it seems more like a hopped up porter.It's not bad but again it seems more of a porter than a IA in my opinion.

A: A very dark brown with good clarity. The thick head is made of long lasting, light tan rocky bubbles that leave a sticky lacing on he glass.
S: A medium citrus hops aroma with a moderately-strong grassy note from dry hopping. There are medium-low malt aromas of sweetness and chocolate. A strong alcohol character brings a bit of floral note towards the back.
T: The bitterness dominates with a medium-strong hops bitterness and a a fairly strong citrus hops flavor. There is a bit of the malt sweetness coming through with a low chocolate and coffee note. The balance is very bitter, overly so with out enough malt to support it. The finish is off-dry and the aftertaste is all citrus hops and long, lingering bitterness.
M: A somewhat creamy, medium bodied beer with a moderately strong level of carbonation. A light bit of harsh prickle on the palate and some warmth in the back of throat.
O: This is an unbalanced beer with a harsh bitterness, but it drinks better when not too cold. It does have a lot of hops with some dark grain character but it just come together more so because of too much C hops. That being said I'd still try this beer if I found it on tap.

22 ounce bomber, pours mahogany, larger dark tan head, that fades and strangely leaves next to no lacing.
Chocolate infused nose, malty, w/o much if any of a hop presence.
I'm getting plenty more chocolate, some minty hops and a well developed malty under carriage.
Pleasant enough take on a new and quickly becoming popular style. Everybody seems to be churning out a Dark IPA of some sort these days. This one was quite enjoyable and I'd give it another try, assuming its gonna be generally available, at least for a while.

Thanks to djrn2 for sending me this bottle.
The beer pours a medium brown color with a cream-colored head. The aroma is heavy on the roasted malt and chocolate. The beer smells more like a porter than a Black IPA because I don't get any hops in the nose.
There are definitely hops in the flavor. In addition to the chocolate and roasted malt, I get quite a bit of pine-flavored hops. Low bitterness.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
A good beer for a good cause.

16 oz. can at fridge temp poured into a snifter. No freshness info.
Pours out what looks like a black color, but when held up to some light, it's actually a really dark ruby red color. A huge billowy off white, to light tan colored head that left a nice foamy cap taller than the rim of the glass off the pour. Really nice tight retention. Sticky lace covers al most every inch of exposed glass.
Piney, fruity, slightly woody hops, some dry citrus, with some grain husk.
A nice even taste. Piney hops mingle with caramel grains. Finishes with a dry citrus bitterness. Some fruitiness somewhere in there. Easy but enjoyable.
Medium in body. Carbonation is about right for the style. A nice bitterness that lingers with just a hint of sweetness.
Pretty solid and drinkable black IPA. One of the more well made beers I've had from blue point.

Ruby brown with a half inch of tightly bubbled foam that lingers very very long. Very low aroma of faint hops. Initial flavor of dark malt, morphing quickly to grapefruit and orange rind. Very balanced, not too black and not too IPA. Could actually use a little more oomph on both ends of the spectrum. Full mouthfeel, a bit tannic, but satisfying. Drinkable beer, but could use more character for my tastes.

Had on cask from the eponymous Cask Republic a while back, just getting back into reviews ago. From notes.
Pours a fairly dark brown, opaque from the darkness. Head is only about a finger, it's very 'quiet'.
Nice rich aromas of molasses, chocolate, and roasted malt intertwine in the glass.
Very malty beer, the cask certainly allowed for some hop fade, there must have been no dry hopping here. Lots of smokey roasted malt, epsresso, chocolate, molasses, and even a touch of anise in the middle; really spectacular.
Surprisingly very light mouthfeel makes this one quaffable.
Would love to get this one again, maybe I'll even stumble on an old bottle one day, who knows... great beer nonetheless.

Big thanks to Joeybeerbelly for sending this in the winnings for Week 6 of the Sunday Night Football Squares LIF.
Poured into a pint glass black with a two finger off white head. Good lacing and retention. It's allergy season, so I can't smell much of anything but I can find hint of dark malts. The flavor has a nice bite of hops with dark carmeled malts Well balanced and medium bodied. Very nice black IPA.

2.38/5 rDev -35.7%
Pours dark reddish brown with a finger of head that vanishes without a trace. While dark for an IPA, I would not consider this black.
Subtle hop aroma first, followed by some malt hints, and a tiny bit of pine at the end. May be detecting some Belgian yeast too?
This may just be too cold since it's right out of the fridge, but this is very lackluster. Not really getting anything discernible except an iota of yeast and a basic hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Extremely underwhelming. Definitely need to give this some time to warm up.
Thin with medium carbonation.
I'm going to let this warm up, but as of now it leaves much to be desired. This is my issue with cans. It's too cold to taste!

On-tap at Misconduct in Philadelphia.
Pours a dark brown color with a half-finger tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of muted roasted malts with good amounts of milk chocolate aromas. Also present are moderate amounts of citrus hops and lighter amounts of leafy hop aromas.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Dark malt flavors with hints of roastiness kick things off and are joined quickly by solid amounts of citrus hops. Midway through the sip the roastiness fades out almost completely, allowing hints of cocoa powder flavors to work their way into things. Slight amounts of earthy hop flavors make a brief appearance before fading out into a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I had no problems finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall this was certainly a more subtle CDA, I would actually almost consider it a hopped up porter if the roasted malt character were just a bit more robust. Not worth writing home about but it's a solid beer that's worth a shot.

Many thanks to Beenitty for this awesome extra from our recent trade. I've never heard of this one, so here we go:
Poured into my dfh snifter. pours a pitch black color, medium body consistency. Crazy oatmeal color foam fills the top of the glass quickly, and hangs around forever. more than 10 minutes after the pour, it still holds about 1.5 fingers of cloudy head. superior head retention. Smell- chocolate, citrus bitterness, chalky milk chocolate. Pretty standard for the style. Taste- chalky bitterness, nice chocolate presence, roasty bitterness. One of my issues with this style has been that I can't really tell the difference between this and a stout/porter, but this one is uniquely an IPA that has a roasted malt backbone. Overall, I'm pretty impressed. Mouthfeel- nice and creamy, but at the same point not too thick.

Thanks to Cuzco for this one!
A: Poured into a pint glass. Very dark black with a frothy two finger mocha colored head. Dissipates down to one finger (pretty vigorous pour), and lasts for a very long time. Sheets of lacing down the sides.
S: At first I really only get some grapefruit citrus, but as the beer warms there is a little bit of roasted malt, and some dark fruit.
T: There is some roasted malt, a little bit of chocolate, and some dark fruit, I think figs and prunes. Not much citrus or pine at all, seems like the hops disappeared, even though they are prominent in the aroma.
M/D: Medium bodied with a lot of carbonation. It is on the creamier side. Overall, not great and unbalanced. The nose seemed one sided, being mostly hop driven, and the flavor was malt driven. Too bad, because the appearance is amazing.

SIGNAL MOUNTAIN (AP) - An old mineshaft on Signal Mountain has become an impediment to a few homeowners when their access road over it began collapsing.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported a state contractor was scheduled to fill in the old shaft Tuesday. The homeowners became stranded over the weekend when the hole opened on a private road.
Tennessee Department of Transportation environmental specialist James Finley said the mine shaft is about 20 feet deep and the collapsed area is about 8 feet wide. Finley said the few inches of soil was too weak to drive a car over.
TDOT is using money from the state abandoned mines program to pay a contractor to collapse the rest of the shaft and then fill it with gravel.

Bramlett, who lives near Dora, normally fishes several times a week, hadn't wet a hook in a long time, according to his wife, Jan.
She had a medical issue and was awaiting major surgery, so he didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone. "I kept after him, until he finally decided to go," she remembered.
On that Thursday, Bramlett was on the water before the roosters crowed and had several nice bass on his stringer that morning.
He maneuvered his boat up next to some lily pads and used his trolling motor to maintain position instead of dropping his anchor.
A while later he saw a nice fish roll on top of the water, so he pulled out the largest shad in his tank, which was about 12 inches long, and baited his hook. Using a 30-pound test line with his Ambassador 7000 reel, he lobbed the line to the spot where he saw the fish.
He felt the fish take the bait.
"The line coming off that reel sounded like an electric Weed Eater," he said.
The bass headed for deeper water and he pulled Bramlett's boat along with him. The fight took them toward the middle of the river. "When I looked up, I saw a tugboat headed toward me pushing an empty barge."
Normally that would be a big problem, but fortunately the tugboat operator saw what was happening and cut the motor, bringing the barge to a stop.
The crew of the tug knew it was a big fish and they cheered Bramlett as he did battle with the bass.
After more than 20 minutes, the fish began to tire and Bramlett managed to get him close enough to see. "I looked at my landing net and I knew it was useless. So I put the butt of the rod against my stomach, and held it with my left hand while I used my right hand to unlatch the keepers on my gaff."
He slid the hook of the gaff underneath the lip of the bass and managed to drag it in the boat.
"I knew it was a big fish," he said. Bramlett felt like he had a record fish even before he weighed it on the ancient scales at Gross Fishing Camp in Parrish.
He put the fish on the scale and kept bumping the counterweight down the measurement bar until it rested on 69 pounds. Those scales weren't certified, but he knew the fish was big enough to snag a state record, set in 1959, by 15 pounds.
The fish was weighed on certified scales and officials from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources listed the official weight as 69.98 pounds.
The fish is 45.5 inches long and has a 37.75 inch girth.
Photos of Bramlett and his catch went viral on the Internet.
Many thought the picture had been photoshopped, but the angle of the picture made the fish look even bigger than it actually was.
Bramlett learned Tuesday that his trophy striped bass surpassed the world record of 67 pounds, 8 ounces set in 1992.
When asked if he would have the fish on his wall, he said 'no.'
"The fish will be mounted, but I'm not sure where it will end up. I like looking at the pictures much better," he said.
Bramlett will go down in history as holding the world record for the largest striped bass.
