[Note by Slyde, 03/04/09 6:06 PM EST ] REMINDER: If you signed up to do an NL Team preview, they start on Monday, March 9th. Please check the schedule for your date.
No day game today, so here's what Reds fans are talking about:
- The Sporting News Today has a feature on Adam Pettyjohn, and his bizarre story. Part 1 of 3 runs today. (h/t to RLN) Definitely worth checking out, and you can count me among the ones who hope No Guts No Glory has another great season in Louisville.
- I know jch already mentioned this in a thread, but it warrants repeating. A follow-up on the story about the minor leaguer who was traded for bats takes a tragic turn. I think that's the last transaction of that type we'll be seeing.
- JinAZ has a story about Ramon Hernandez on the Spring Training '09 website. He goes into it a bit further on his site.
- Also from the Spring Training '09 site, a little piece on the Reds starting rotation by our very own Slyde.
- Tim Curtis has a post on Fay's blog about how the Reds playing in the WBC fared in exhibition play yesterday. He mentioned Reds farmhand Luca Panerati, who was apparently added to Italy's roster while all of the beat writers were sleeping. He gave up a HR to Elijah Dukes in his inning.
- Doug has an article about the value of the Reds minor league system.
- Chalk up another article about the Reds being a sleeper team in the NL, this time by Tufts Daily. These articles do not bode well for our chances this season.
- From the Reds Internal Affairs blog, a look inside the GABP Press Box.
- Fresh Talks has an interview with Chris Dickerson about his WePlayGreen site. He's a very astute young man.
- SI has an article about one of the most interesting stories in baseball right now, the two kids who were brought over from India to pitch in the Pirates system. They also write one of my favorite blogs when they're not pitching or hanging out with Barry Bonds.
- I don't have a link for this, but HAVOC Energy drinks have released a Cincinnati Bearcats version of their fine beverage into the Cincinnati area. I had one this morning, and by golly I'm disrupting the ordinary. They were right.
The Reds play tonight at 6:05 against the Netherlands, but no radio and no GameDay coverage. The Reds Internal Affairs blog has lineups.

First of all, hello everybody! I've lurked here for a while, so I know my way around. I just have a question: How effective have you found DB squats to be? I'm unable to do BB squats, unfortunately, so I've been looking around for alternatives. Obviously BB squats would be the better exercise, but will DB squats be worth doing 2-3 times a week? Thanks everybody!
I'm sure it's much better than no squats at all!
Why can't you barbell squat?
Unless you have very heavy dumbbells, I don't see it being worth your time. Dumbbell lunges, maybe.
The results you are hoping to get won't occur unless you buy some quality equipment for your home or buy a gym membership. An inconvenient truth, but true nonetheless. Some gyms offer memberships for 10-20 bucks a month.
You can also try front squats. Clean the weight up to your shoulders and squat. They're harder to do infront so that makes up for the lighter weight.
Lunges and Jump Squats
Lunges and split squats will probably be your best option for now.
You could also build a tire sled pretty cheaply. That could be used for additional work.

I've done them off and on in the past to mix things up and I find them to be very good as an alternative...I guess its different for everyone though...
Best to get a squat rack for your home if you have room for it. There are designs for squat racks for one to build, even using lumber, that are sturdy.
Or there is the Gerard trap bar, or another trap bar, then you do not have to get the bar over your head when you have worked hard. Some folks have less success with a trap bar, it seems like body mechanics for certain individuals is not so good, that or how people lift. I can get pretty much of a squat doing the trap bar lift.
I have a difficult time with front squats, or I think they would be good for me, for my back. as tje postuire is straighter. My elbows hurt when I t ry to rest the bar back after cleaning it. I have some growth, my doctor said, from an injury that inhibits movement of one elbow.

Greetings! I'll be coming to Colorado from NY where I usually climb in the Gunks (NY) for two weeks starting on May 11th! Most of that time will be taken up with cave rescue training with the National Cave Rescue Commission (www.caves.org/commission/ncrc/national/) but from May 11th in the afternoon till May 15th I'll be free to fill my time with climbing! Any suggestions on how I should handle this? I want to try and figure out: - Climbing Partner! Nobody was free to come fly over with me, and I haven't yet found a connection through networking to get a local climbing partner. I'd really hate to be stuck working with a really expensive guiding service....is there any good place to get connected with climbing partners? Maybe someone who would be willing to show me around for a beer? If not, I so want to get climbing, so I'd jump even at someone who just wants a reasonable appreciation for their time. Any thoughts? - Local Climbing/Activity Beta! If it turns out that I can't get anyone to climb with, I'd still like to try and explore as much as I possibly can. Any suggestions on what to experience to really get the most out of Boulder/CO? - Hiking! I would also like to get at least one really good high peak in while in CO. I'm not really able to fit all my mountaineering gear along with the normal vacation stuff, plus caving gear. So a true technical ascent is not on the agenda unless I rent stuff for it -- but I'm sure there have to be great day-trips that can be done without crampons/tools. Maybe I'm envisioning the peaks as all snow-capped and awesome; but I'm from the northeast -- Mount Washington at 6,288ft is what I have over here. lol - Anything else I should think about? I'll keep researching and looking into everything; but I'd love thoughts on what I should google! Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to answer. And I really hope to see someone out there climbing. :D (Oh, and I'm comfortable on-sight leading 5.9s in the gunks. I'm nothing spectacular, but good enough that I shouldn't be too boring for anyone.)
It's a big state, but if you're staying in the front range, there's plenty to do. You shouldn't have a problem finding a partner. I'd be happy to take you climbing one of the days if you have time. For Boulder -- definitely check out the eclectic Pearl Street, visit one of the many, many breweries, and enjoy the lovely spring weather. The creeks are flowing now and come May, the wildflowers will be blooming. There's tons of great hikes. If you're looking for strenuous, I think Bear Peak takes the cake. Nothing technical, just 3000 feet elevation gain. Otherwise, I would say Mt. Sanitas has the best ratio for view vs amount of effort. Soloing up the second flatiron is also another good choice. The first 30 feet has some decent exposure, but it gets a little less heady after that. The proximity of climbing is unreal and there's a lifetime abundance of it.
Happy to help you out. Pm sent
Thanks Eric! Someone was kind enough to coordinate climbing on the 12th with me in Eldo; and I hope to climb the rest of the days too! I'm totally open to scheduling something right now, or holding off till it gets closer and see how things look for you. While there will be so much to do while visiting, there is always time to climb! I'll definitely check out Pearl Street -- is nighttime okay for this, or is it more of a daytime area? I hope I'll see the wildflowers while hiking, or out in a climbing spot. I love running water too; so creeks, streams, waterfalls, and especially cascading water over lots of bare rock. Cross my fingers I get to the right places. :) For hiking, it's tough as everyone has different capabilities and expectations. The more challenging, and technical, and rock-covered, and climbingesque it is, the better! Anything that can be done without rope, with a safe descent afterwards! For myself when I tried looking into it initially, I immediately looked up the highest peak in Colorado (Mount Elbert near Leadville) and added it to the list. But then I saw the descriptions of it and while it's the tallest, I don't think it to be the most exciting. I then found Crestone Peak, which looks to be a lot of fun, while still only Class 3/4 climbing on the north face. Since I have to be in Divide, CO on the 16th, I was thinking to take a run down that way and summit on the 15th. (Unless climbing instead) For the local hike in Boulder, think I could look at Bear Peak or Mt. Sanitas as a night-hike after climbing during the day? I don't yet know the night-time dangers of the area, but I feel like with such a close proximity to Boulder, I might not have much to worry about in the way of large predators. Need to start looking that up! And soloing the flatirons has always been my backup plan! I hate to admit it, but I'm no stranger to that experience, including solidly exposed routes. Nothing over a 5.6 so far, but I believe the flatirons has tons to offer in that grade. My biggest concern wasn't the climbing, but the downclimbing. I was thinking if that was the direction things went, I would ascend with a rope to be able to rap down? Which segues into a quick question -- I generally work single-rope in the gunks. Is all the climbing in Colorado done as dual rope? Do you need the dual 70s to get from rap station to rap station? Next week is looking sunny here; maybe I should run out and buy duals to practice. (The only part that worries me is managing the dual ropes while on a hanging belay.) Anyway! I already appreciate your input; don't feel any obligation to write as much as I did. I type quickly and generally for way too long! lol Have a great day! Mark
A single 60 m rope is all you you need for a majority of the rock routes. A sinle 70 is useful on some routes. I wouldn't worry about double ropes. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Well lions and bears. But as long as you can out run your partner you're fine.
Greg, I must say, so many people are really awesome out in Colorado on Mountain Project! I'd love to get climbing, but I can't seem to find the PM yet. First time I've gotten one. lol I'll keep looking, sure it's just a few clicks away. I always head out with a bi-color 70m since a number of years ago. The extra length isn't that much of a headache to manage, and it's useful often enough that I like it. Well, maybe not outrun, but the rope is great for tying them up first. lol Any worries at night when I'm alone? Or they will avoid me just as I'll avoid them?
Pm's go to the email address you used to set up your account. Lions are rarely an issue. Extra caution should be considered with children and pets in some areas. Bears are generally not an issue if you are careful with your food. No food or food smells in your tent. Put food in a stuff sac. Attach some cord. Toss it over a high branch where bears can't reach or climb to. Some areas require bear canisters for your food.
Bicolor 70M and a basic rack are the way to go if choosing. But frankly, in your shoes I'd try to travel light and bring only basic gear and offer to buy beer in exchange for using your partner's rope. Most people would have one and not mind using it in those circumstances. Bring shoes/harness/nut tool/belay device... all the stuff you think is not part of a lead rack and people will not necessarily have an extra of. I'm on injured reserve at the moment (knee surgery again), but if you like you can call if you want some local beta. If so, you can PM me for a phone # once you get your Email figured out. That is contained in your 'personal page.'
Thanks for the insight. I have a bear canister already, but I'd rather not fly with it, so I'll stick with minimal food. Sounds like it's the same as the northeast in bear country.
As for a bear canister- after climbing in Boulder since the 1980's and living here for about 20 years and climbing, I have never used or felt the need to use a bear canister. Don't bother.
Isn't Southern Sun right next to Neptune Mountaineering? Used to be a good place to find local guidebooks, and fill holes in your rack etc. Get well soon Tony B, you have provided so many great pictures and route descriptions here(w/Joseffa et al.), you deserve kudo's for that, as does everybody that contributes. To the original poster: try and climb at least a day in Eldorado, there isn't really any other place like it. There are a TON of classic climbs there(in my opinion). The place has a lot of history. Lumpy Ridge is also a fabulous place for visiting climbers, hard to get lost there if you stick to the classics.
Hey Mark, I'll be bumming my way around Boulder between the 7th and the 14th, I'd definitely be down to get out climbing in Eldo or the Flatirons the 11th-14th. I'll most likely have a basic trad rack, but no rope. PM me and we can discuss! Jon
Greg: I never did get that PM -- I think it got caught by the spam filter or something. I've found other messages in my e-mail, but yours never arrived. I'll send a message to you and see what you have in mind! A week from now I'll be in Colorado! :D Tony B: Thanks for the advice. That's right in line with my hopes. I'll go for it, and cross my fingers for the best. I'm sure it will all work out. Good luck with your recovery! I'll look into the Dark Horse, and if there happens to be a larger gathering one night, that'd be awesome. I've got nothing planned for my evenings right now; just the daytime. Any other local beta on night-time activities would be appreciated. :) Doligo: I always like to see a place, irrespective of being from NY. While I can go to the city, and do once or twice a month, I live in a smaller town in the suburbs. I'll swing by Pearl Street and Southern Sun (And The Dark Horse) and see what I think unless something else comes up for the nights. lol SlowTrad: I'm already scheduled with a generous soul on the 12th for Eldorado! So far Lumpy Ridge isn't on the calendar, but if anyone will go with me, I'm down for it. If I've got a down day, I'll go to the flatirons from past recommendations. Anything easy enough to free-solo in Lumpy Ridge? Jon Cabrera: That sounds great. If I don't bring a rope, that'll be a bit tough. Lets talk and see what can be done. I'll PM you. Mark E Dixon: Ah! That's a perfect trip report for this. I can easily fit microspikes into my suitcase, and there's a chance I could even go for my mountaineering axe. Similarly I guess I could do my ice tools; but I just hadn't really been planning on that plus my crampons. Then the boots with welts. Ugh. I think my limit will be anything I can do with a mountaineering axe and microspikes. Any suggestions?
I work weekdays, but would be happy to set up a Dark Horse night that week; the Sun would also be an option with a smaller crowd. The Flatirons would be a better place to solo than Lumpy. Rocky Mt Nat'l Park still has a fair amount of snow and peak bagging gear needs will depend on temps. You can rent snowshoes in town if you need them.
I'm leaving in 6 hours for the airport! Thanks for all the help and advice!
Seriously! I'm out here for the cave rescue commission weeklong training, so it wasn't my chive, though I did choose to add some extra days in. Talk about bad timing! I'm trying to figure out what to do!
It may not look good now or tomorrow but when the sun does come out tuesday. Table will be climbing well by 3oclock for sure. The sun is mighty here.
Hi I'm a climber from PR looking for a partner now that the weather is getting better. I'll be here till the 25th. Let me know if u still looking for partners

This decent line climbs up a fun right leaning flake before tackling the slab above. Two lines of progress exist after the 2nd clip. Either continue up to the right on the flake as it peters out, or delicately climb left (psychologically taxing leaving the large flake for the tiny feet and handholds of the face). Eventually all lines merge on the slab climbing to the anchors. The grade may be 5.8 or 5.9. (Comment on name/FA/grade and I'll update).

Willing to be a beginner..!
By Robert Clements
Have you ever tried to teach something to a person who knows everything? Even as you start explaining they start nodding their heads and say they know it all.
Or maybe we also do the same thing:
There's a hotel in Bangkok, that has a water fountain in the lobby that is operated by an infra-red beam of light. When a thirsty person wants a drink, he or she simply bends down and the water automatically turns on. There is a sign above the water cooler that reads, "Stoop and drink."
What a marvelous parable for a life attitude. Stoop and drink. Especially when we have something to learn, when we want to drink from the fountain of knowledge, we may need to stoop and drink.
Like Albert Einstein: He once arrived in London carrying his violin case. After greeting him, an old friend asked, "You still play the violin, Albert?"
The mathematical genius nodded and said, "Yes, but not very well." He knew that he had much to learn if he were to play the violin well. And he was wise enough to know that he would learn better if could approach it with a sense of humility; he had to stoop in order to drink.
My daughter went skiing the other day in Seattle, where she is studying. She said she was all bruised and hurt at the end of the practice session, because she fell so often. She said, "You'll never get the hang of it unless you learn the fundamentals."
Author Barbara Sher says something interesting about this approach to learning new things. She says that you "can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you."
I think she's right. It takes some stooping to approach something new like a beginner. But that is the way we learn best -- at any age.
Over the years I've come to realize that anybody can teach me, if I let them. Young people and old people, the uneducated and the learned -- anyone can be a teacher. But not anyone can be a learner. It takes the right kind of attitude to learn. But if I'm able to stoop, I'll have plenty to drink.
I remember my dad at the age of seventy-five mastering the computer and using the internet. He was willing to learn. He was willing to be a beginner. When he tried to teach me the same things, I remember an initial resistance but soon realized that if I did not stoop I would not learn from him, and stoop I did.
What about you? Are you willing to be a beginner?

After Kinnelon's presented to the Kinnelon Council Thursday a watered-down version of the ordinance they originally considered that would allow police to charge underage individuals found drinking on private property, Chief John Finkle shared his passion for the cause.
"I'm looking at the kids that are on the fence that this gives them the crutch that says 'No, I don't want to drink,'" Finkle said.
According to Finkle, the police department has information that underage residents are partying every weekend and not only experimenting with alcohol, but cocaine and heroin as well. Additionally, Finkle said a number of sex crimes have been reported as a result of the parties.
The Underage Drinking Ordinance Advisory Committee was formed in January after the council that would give police the authority to impose penalties for underage drinking on private property. Currently in Kinnelon, underage individuals can only be charged if they are found in possession of alcohol on public property.
The ordinance the council was considering would have included fines as penalties and after subsequent arrests and at the judge's discretion, also could have included the suspension of an individual's driver's license.
Many Kinnelon residents and some council members were uncomfortable with the possible suspension of a driver's license as a penalty and some residents were also concerned about allowing police to charge the underage drinkers on private property. The committee was formed to more closely review the ordinance and then make a recommendation to the council on how to proceed.
On Thursday, the committee recommended several revisions to the ordinance, including making underage drinking a secondary offense, meaning police would need another reason, such as violation of a noise ordinance, to enter a person's property to investigate underage drinking and ultimately charge the individual for it.
Another major revision recommended was to eliminate the fine on the first offense but to instead include an educational component as the penalty. The committee felt that a person who is found to be in constructive possession of alcohol but not necessarily drinking would not be punished as harshly under the revision.
Ultimately, the commitee was split on whether Kinnelon should enact an ordinance at all, Chairman Pat Caserta said. Of the seven-member committee, four members were in favor of a revised ordinance, two were opposed to the revised ordinance and one could not decide either way.
Councilman Gary Moleta asked Caserta if committee member Mark Gaw, who was not present at the meeting but was recently , voted in favor of the ordinance, which Caserta said he did.
Later in the meeting, Mayor Bob Collins asked the committee members if the allegations against Gaw in any way influenced their decisions on how they felt about the ordinane and speaking for herself, committee member Jeanine Mazzola said it did not.
One of Finkle's concerns with the revised ordinance and public perception on the ordinance is that some residents feel that police will go onto private property and charge underage individuals for even having "a beer" at their home.
"What I keep hearing is 'If somebody has a beer.' I cannot tell you the last time we arrested somebody for having 'a beer.' The kids in this town are binge drinking," Finkle said.
He referenced several incidents in the past year where alleged underage drinkers left a party and got behind the wheel of a car and into accidents. In Finkle's opinion, a judge should be able to decide what type of penalty should be applied to a particular individual and underage drinking should not be a secondary offense.
In addressing the concerns of some residents' opinions that the ordinance violates property rights, Finkle said that the police do not wait outside the parties for underage individuals to enter public property to charge them now and that they will not be out looking for the underage drinkers with this ordinance. He also said the residents need to have faith that the police, themselves, are abiding by the law.
"You're going to have to trust me to trust the officers that the laws are going to be upheld," he said.
To prove that the police department is not out to abuse power, Finkle provided copies of an ordinance the borough has on the books that allows police to penalize residents for owning barking dogs. A person who is charged against the dog-barking ordinance can be subject to a fine of up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail.
Councilman Ron Mondello said he has no problem with the council amending the ordinance to leave the penalties at the judge's discretion, as per Finkle's request. But overall, Mondello said referring the ordinance to the committee was a good choice.
"This is exactly what I was looking for, you hit it right on the head," he said. "You have used a lot of creative thinking and, in my mind, this is exactly what I would like to see."
Mondello did say he would also like to see the contemplation of dismissal added to the first offense, though. Councilman Gary Moleta said he felt the ordinance needs to keep the possible suspension of a driver's license because he feels it is the only thing that "gives it teeth." Still, Moleta agreed that an educational component should be included in the ordinance.
Collins told the committee that their recommendation is non-binding and that the council can decide to follow or not follow the recommendations. The soonest the council will be voting on the ordinance will be next month, he said.

Officials with Rockford Public Schools District 205 hope to purchase 14 school buses powered by propane in an effort to reduce fuel costs.
The goal is to fully convert District 205's fleet to propane from expensive diesel vehicles. Along with the buses, a propane filling station would be added by the district's bus terminal.
If the change is made, the district would pay about 52 percent less for a gallon of propane than a gallon of diesel.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) -- Plans to shut down control towers at small airports have been delayed. The closings were supposed to begin this weekend, because of government-wide spending cuts.
The FAA now says it needs more time to deal with legal challenges to the closures. Officials say it could happen in mid-June instead.
Former air traffic controller, Mike Arthur says it won't be easy for the folks who may lose their jobs.
"I've never been in that position so I don't know how they're feeling," said Arthur. "As far as the economy goes, we're in a mess and somebody's going to have to take the reigns and it's going to hurt."
Despite the delay, the FAA said it will stop funding all 149 of the airport towers, which are operated by private contractors, on June 15.

A horse rider may have vital information about a sexual assault in the Malton area.
Police would like to speak to the rider, believed to be a woman, who was riding in the Kirkham Priory area on Tuesday, October 29, at around 7.30am.
The occupants of a small white van were disturbed by the horse and rider - although the rider may be unaware of this, say police.
A man is currently remanded in custody and awaiting trial for a number of serious offences including rape, however police are anxious to speak to the horse rider who could have important information which could assist them.
Detective Sgt John Spivey of the Major Crime Unit, said: "We appreciate that some time has passed since this incident happened, but we hope our appeal will prompt someone's memory.
"It's likely that the rider was unaware that an alleged serious crime was being committed at the time. But it is very important that we speak to them as they could have vital information which could help our investigation and I urge them to make contact as soon as possible. If anyone knows any riders who ride in the Kirkham Priory area, we ask you please make them aware of this appeal."
The horse rider or anyone else with any information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on (01904) 618691, select option 1, and pass information to the Force Control Room.

The jayvee boys baseball team remained winless after their recent losses to Cloverdale and Fort Bragg.
Last Friday, the Wolverines trailed Cloverdale (13-1, 7-1) by only one run after four innings, but the Eagles tacked on three more in the fifth and cruised on to a 5-2 victory over Willits.
The young Wolverines fared no better in Tuesday's game against Fort Bragg. The Timberwolves got on the board early and never looked back, defeating Willits 10-2.
The jayvee Wolverines hope to earn their first win today, when they play at home (on the varsity field at WHS), at 4 p.m. against Lower Lake.

Arsène Wenger has confirmed that his side will form a guard of honour for the new champions, though there'll be no standing on ceremony when the action actually gets underway. Arsenal are currently third, though will drop below Chelsea and Tottenham and outside the Champions League places if said duo win their games in hand.
Arsenal will be hoping that Manchester United will ease up after they sealed the title, though winning their remaining games would ensure that United set a new Premier League points record. They could make changes to the team which beat Aston Villa last Monday, with Tom Cleverley, Nani, Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernández likely to start.
Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes and Ashley Young will definitely play no part -- they are out injured. For Arsenal, Łukasz Fabiański, Abou Diaby and Ryo Miyaichi are also unavailable with injury, as well as striker Olivier Giroud, who has a three match ban.
Arsenal injuries and suspensions
Out: Olivier Giroud (suspended), Łukasz Fabiański (ribs), Abou Diaby (knee), Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) In doubt: None
Manchester United injuries and suspensions
Out: Paul Scholes (knee), Ashley Young (ankle), Darren Fletcher (illness) In doubt: None

An Old Dominion University project to help fourth- and fifth-graders learn math and science was among those receiving $1.3 million from the State Council on Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
Suzanne Doviak, a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Old Dominion and the leader of the project, received more than $59,000 for a project titled SMARTSTARS (Science, Math And Reading Together: Students Thinking As Research Scientists), which uses literature for grade-schoolers to help illustrate science and math concepts.
The Old Dominion grant was among 27 awards from the Eisenhower Grant Program worth $1.3 million for Virginia public and private colleges, universities and eligible non-profit organizations. The Eisenhower program supports projects during the 2002-2003 school year to improve the content knowledge and teaching skills of elementary and secondary public school teachers in math and science and prepares students for Virginia's revised Standards of Learning tests.
In a previous version of the program - which focused on space and ocean science -- a book about an airplane crash on a deserted island was used to study sea predators, desert adaptions, cacti, seafloor exploration and making compasses and water filters.
The book "Countdown," the story of a 14-year-old boy who rides on the Space Shuttle, generated discussion about Global Positioning System receivers, rounding, estimation, graphing, averaging, percents, geometry, basic calculations and problem solving.
"We try to find a few areas where concepts in the SOLs are related to the books," Doviak said. "If you get kids excited about the story, then they'll want to find out more."
This year, books will focus on weather and simple machines. Two one-week SMARTSTARS workshops from July 8-19 on the Old Dominion campus are open to teachers in Norfolk Public Schools, but may also be opened to teachers from other Hampton Roads schools.
Other books in the lesson plan include "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" by Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake, "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell and "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
This marks the 17th year that SCHEV, which administers the program for Virginia, has issued the grants. To choose the winners, SCHEV formed a panel to rank the grant proposals according to merit. Members included faculty, elementary, middle and secondary school teachers, curriculum specialists and SCHEV staff.
"School teachers in every classroom throughout Virginia are an essential building block for success because of the vital role they play in ensuring that our children acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed after high school, in college, at work and throughout their lives," said Carl N. Kelly, SCHEV's chairman.
To enroll in Smart Stars, contact Doviak at 683-3921 or firstname.lastname@example.com. More information is available at www.odu.edu/smartstars.

The phrase 'a story that trancends sports' is over hyperbolized, and over-utilized to become part of our vernacular for any sporting moment that piques this interest of the general public. It's a phase that's applied to Tim Tebow, and Jeremy Lin, but when a moment surrounding sports becomes truly transcendent it's often due to something tragic– whether that's O.J. Simpson, Pat Tillman, or the animalistic way fans treated Steve Bartman, normally when a story becomes 'transcendent' it's not a good thing.
For the Carolina Panthers there has only been one transcendent moment, the events that took place in 1999 and 2000 in which Rae Carruth conspired to have his girlfriend, Cherica Adams murdered. Carruth is an indelible black mark on the organization that finds a way of getting brought up every time an opposing fanbase wants to skewer the Panthers. Fans can shrug it off, walk away from the situation, and externalize it– for the boy left behind, 12-year-old Chancellor Lee Adams, he cannot. When the former Panthers WR planned to have his girlfriend killed, he also planned to extinguish the life of his soon-to-be son, as Chancellor, then just a month from reaching term had to be delivered by way of emergency Cesarean, rescuing the boy from his dying mother. Ultimately Chancellor suffers from cerebral palsy as a result, but he's alive.
In spite of the darkness that surrounded these events, there is light, and in a week where we are all likely reflecting on tragedy it seems apropos that Thomas Lake of Sports Illustrated is publishing a piece focusing on Chancellor, entitled "The Boy Who Lived". I had the opportunity to read an advanced copy of the story, and it's an emotional, beautifully written piece that deals with the horrors that took place, but also is a tale of forgiveness on the part of Cherica Adams' mother, and a tale about a brave 12-year-old who survived, despite the odds being against him. I strongly suggest you read the piece when it hits newsstands.

As I read that Troy Glaus is going to be in Toronto, it makes me wonder "is he going to DH, or is he going to play 3rd?" If he plays 3rd, what is happening with Corey Koskie? An everyday DH Corey is not. So, if Glaus takes over at three, then is our man Corey being shipped away once again? This is in no way shape or form a "lets get Corey back" entry, I am just curious where he will fit into the Toronto picture when you have a perennial 30-HR guy taking over the position.
Now, maybe the plan is for Glaus to DH everyday, and if that is the case, then where goes the Shea Hillenbrand? And the best question of all...where did all this crazy trading/pick-ups come from with the jays?
If anyone has any ideas/speculation as to Mr. Koskie's next home, or when the blue jays found ooodles of money, please feel free to inform me...cause thus far, I have found nothing.

3.7/5 rDev -0.5%
341ml bottle poured into a pint glass. Picked up on a recent trip to BC.
Pours with 1 inch of rocky head, lazy, mild carbonation, good lacing. Colour is almost peach, not quite orange, not quite yellow, but leaning towards yellow, hazey and unfiltered. Aromas of flowers, pine, tropical fruits, orange rind, grapefruit, vanilla, and a light bready maltiness.
Taste is definitely c-hop forward. Lots of pine, grapefruit, and bitter citrus rind at the front, fairly stringent, and balanced by a sweet, caramel bready malt character. The balance definitely leans towards the hops though. I prefer a little more balance in my IPAs, but this is definitely tasty. Mouthfeel is puckering to say the least, buzzing and stringent, carbonation is maybe a little bitey, but it's not bad. Medium body. This is a drinkable and enjoyable IPA, very hop-forward and ballsy, but it's a little less balanced than I usually prefer.

Pours a clear copper color with a thin white head. The aroma is a bit subdued with some hops and caramel malt. The hops really come out in the taste with citrus and pine flavors. The bitterness is not too overwhelming, the hops are nicely balanced with the malt in this. Medium-light body. I enjoyed this beer on tap, this this is a solid IPA.

This beer pours a clear medium golden amber hue, with lots of thick foamy white head, which leaves some random spotted lace around the glass as it dissipates. It smells of pine, and bitter citrus hops, and mild caramel malt. The taste is subtle pine/citrus hops, and stronger sweet caramel and biscuit malt. The carbonation is moderate, the body on the light side of medium, smooth, and a bit sugary, and it finishes with a slight citrus hop edge.
Not bad, balanced, and another example of the blend of the American/British styles in the world of IPAs, at which Canadian breweries seem exceedingly proficient.

3.33/5 rDev -10.5%
Pours a clear golden-yellow that lacks the cloudy orange tint of most IPAs. A big fluffy head brings out citrus aromas, mostly lemon, a clean grainy smell, and a mildly sweet candy-sugar vibe.
The flavor, while simply "good", has no attributes that make me go "damn, I need more of this!" Malt/hops balance is there, but favors the sharp end of the citrus spectrum. I appreciate the piney element that lingers in the finish, but then it quickly turns into an unenjoyable metallic grapefruit aftertaste. Just nothing special.
The mouthfeel is nice and big, a bit dry and pretty tingly. I like what it does for the flavor...makes it seem like there's more happening than there really is. Every little bit helps.
Very drinkable but nothing to get overly excited about. I'd like more malt to come into it, as it leans too much toward the lemon-y element of the hops flavor. I'm left with that "so-so" feeling.

Juicy and well malted IPA. Light orange with very thick head. Lace in glass is abundant.Hoppy and some yeast aroma. Nice bitter and also juicy. Smooth and easy drink. Not big and very pleasant, an astringency that matches meat. Medium mouthfeel. A nice IPA.

2.7/5 rDev -27.4%
Oh man...this one is not for me...Pours a deep yellow to orange color,with a big 2+ finger head that is very rocky and mountainous looking with some nice bubbles sticking to the glass,very good lacing...to me ,,that head is the best part of the beer.
The nose is heavy flowery,perfumy with pine trees comming at you,it's like that pine air freshner you use in the vehicle,,,something else there in the background but i just can't pinpoint it out.
Going down is...well...um....very fruity with a hint of....dark greens and a dry bitterness towards the end.
Medium heavy body that leaves a peppery bite at the very back towards the end and some deep carbonation.
Not my style...no more of these for me.

1.45/5 rDev -61%
Bottle courtesy of Irondjin: Poured an orangey color ale with a super big foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of bitter hops with strong sour notes. I am guessing we have an infection issue here which may explain why the head is still perfectly in place ten minutes after I have poured the beer. The label mention that these beers were heavily hops to make all the way to India without going down the drain well seems like this one didnt make it across the country without getting infected. The brewery is usually reliable so I will have to rerate when I get the chance.

This beer pours the colour of bright pee, is there a more professional word for that. The head pours snow white, but is a little thin, lacing is poor.
Smell is really great. heavily hopped and smelling of grapefruit and lemon.
Tastes really nice, mainly hops the whole way through with a very light malty middle followed by heavy hop bite.
Considering this is the last of the 6-pack, i enjoyed it very much. perhaps a little too bitter for my tastes, but good.

Bottle courtesy of my friend Adil- I think this was courtesy of the real Chinese niggaz. Anyway, it poured deep hazed amber/orange. Nose was simple yet inviting. Fresh hops and caramel with bready malts and perfume. Sweet caramel and bread crust leads to piney hops with a nice citric profile. A simple IPA that pleases and does the job. Good.

A- Hazy orange-copper. Very respectable head.
S- Undeniably hoppy. Grainy malts and a tad of citrus.
T- Hops first and foremost. Bready malts as well but they are overshadowed by the much more pronounced hops. A constant hop bombardment on your tongue. Slightly more on the sweet side. Left a great aftertaste.
M- Very smooth with considerable carbonation.
D- A good solid hop taste and it hits the spot on a summer day. Quite quenching. Would definitely try again.

First off - I think it's inappropriate to have merged the Phillips IPA reviews with the Hop Circle - it is not the same IPA. Hop Circle is unfiltered whereas the IPA was filtered, and it has a different hop profile, aroma and flavour. Hop Circle is a significant reworking and as such is a new beer, even though it is the replacement.
That said, review:
I had this on tap at the Beagle pub in Cook Street Village, Victoria. Just a keg.
It's a lemony, hazy colour with a thick but insubstantial head. There's an almost greeny glow to it.
The aroma is hop-pungent. Very powerful. It smells like cannabis.
It doesn't taste as bitter as it smells. It is very grapefruity, and fruity in general. More sweetness than the original IPA, and a much smoother mouth-feel (the old IPA was pretty puckering).
Hop Circle is a tropical-tasting, highly refreshing IPA. I couldn't session it -- after three I had problems typing my pin number into the debit card machine. But it is moreish and satisfying.
I don't think it quite out-muscles Red Racer IPA for "best BC IPA", but it's very close. Also, Red Racer has consistency issues in my experience, so Phillips is a safe bet and a beautiful summer pint. Enjoy.

Received bottle from Mr. Wideman. Thanks very much.
Appearance: Pours a hazy yellowish colour, not quite orange with a massive pillowy bone white head. Retention is good, leaves gobs of lace.
Aroma: Heavy mandarin orange, some peaches, citrusy for sure, a bit of pine.
Taste: More piney in flavour, buttery, but citrus still dominates. Sweet more so than bitter as far as IPA's go. Bitterness is medium. Smidge of diacetyl comes through in the finish.
Mouthfeel: A bit hard, a little over carbonated. Drinkability is good.
Final Statement: Not a bad IPA, pretty hoppy as far as a lot of Canadian IPA's go. However, not as hoppy as I would like. I'd certainly drink some of these if I lived out West but not something I would seek out.

A well done american style IPA. The hop and malt balance was good, though I can usually alway have more ibu's. The 6.5% was not not that evident when tasting. I have also had this on tap but since it was at the end of the keg, it was hard to judge.
The colour and head were fine. I would recommend this beer.

Man, I have been meaning to review this beer for a looong time.
This IPA pours quite a brilliant orange colour with a thick, white, bubbly head that has some decent retention qualities and leaves some patchy lacing. Smell is quite complex. I get apricots and peaches up front then along come those citrusy orange hops and hits of caramel that make IPAs so special. Taste is quite nice and bitter off the bat with the hops really coming through. Mid sip releases some bready, caramel notes which give way, once again, to the bitterness of the hops which leave a crisp, spicy and dry feeling in my mouth. A bit bready nuttiness on the linger as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of carbonation making it very crisp with a good amount of dry spice which leaves the mouth feeling quite clean on the finish. Overall, this IPA is very refreshing and delivers on in all categories. All the right flavours are there, but they are well balanced, making this one easy IPA to enjoy. A nice representation of the style.

Clear dark gold/orange colour with a dense, off-white head. Fine lacing and good retention. Good balance of malt and hops in the nose, with plenty of citrus (grapefruit and a little orange) and crackery, toasted malt. Slightly powdery. Pleasant combination of grapefruit bitterness and orange sweetness in the flavour. Some caramel is present as well, which helps with the balance. Bitter, dry finish. Medium body and carbonation with a smooth start and effervescent finish. I liked this one. It works as a balanced IPA.

On vaction in Victoria and had lunch at a pub with the Phillip beers on tap. Deep gold with a ample one inch head that laced down the pint. Fresh hoppy aroma with an Intial bitter taste that transitioned into a balanced, smooth herbal hoppiness. Ale was extremely fresh and satisfying. I had two very enjoyable pints with picture perfect weather (mid 70's). Too bad I have to head back into 100's Nashville in a few days. The good people of Victoria are fortunate to have such a fine brew.

Appearance- Looks good! Coppery colour with a nice fluffy white head that recedes pretty quick
Smell- Wow. Citrusy PNW hop aroma. Piny and just full of floral hop aromas.
Taste- Bitter hop flavour that is well balanced by a sweet malt back bone. Reminds me of a LaConner IPA or any number of Northwest American IPA's. Really quite exceptional for a Canadian brew.
Mouthfeel- Not too fizzy. Not at all watery. Very pleasant feel.
Drinkability- To me, IPA's are not the most drinkable beers around because of their aggresive flavour/aroma profile. But overall, I have no problem drinking a few small bottles of this in one sitting.

Matt Phillips gets the award for most improved player with his new packaging and this great beer in six packs. Hoppy and fresh this beer is like the cousin of Tree Hophead. I went from hating some of his beers to loving this example. Very drinkable but also a hophead delight. Add this to my usual drinking fare.

What starts out as a glowing, crystalline amber becomes more like extra chunky peanut butter, both in terms of colour and complexion, with the introduction of the remaining bottom few ounces of the bottle. Its head is tattered like an old dish rag and the few bubbles present don't look fit to do anything about it.
A combination of candied, citrusy grapefruit-flavored hops and earthy, bitter resiny ones ensures both American and English varieties are represented in the aroma. Its disposition - the aggressiveness with which it's hopped - falls somewhere in between; the bouquet is unabashedly effervescent but doesn't exactly climb up your nostrils and start kicking.
Biscuity malts are tasted upfront before a stinging hop acidity becomes amped up on the finish. The earthy, wickedly citrusy flavour of hops continues to flutter across the palate like a fall leave caught in an updraft. These guys obviously found the proper IPA blueprints; maltiness is not overlooked but the bulk of the emphasis is devoted to lupullin.
When people hear the word 'bitter' they tend to be turned off but a recent generation of brewers, like Phillips, have steadily been changing that negative connotation. Offerings like this IPA show that bitter, even the harshly bitter, can actually be quite pleasant when caped in fruity resins and chased with a little toasty sweetness.
Phillips IPA is emblematic of many Canadian craft beers in general - it seeks to replicate what the Americans do without straying too, too far from its British roots. The end result turns out something of a more reserved, more timid, more "polite" if you will, variation of the American IPA. For the beer, as for Canadian and American people in general, outsiders may easily confuse the two, but for us here there's no mistaking which is which.

After drinking Amnesiac for a long time, I finally get around to trying Phillip's regular IPA!
Nice amber appearance with a thin head that settles quickly but tries valiantly to stick around. Balanced scent: noticeable hop aroma and spice rounded out by malts.
Citrus, spice and malt on the tongue. Hoppiness is definitely there, but not so out-of-control that it overwhelms the malts, pushes this in DIPA or just outright ruins this beer. The hops are aggressive, but a decent malt character restrains them. Pale malts, hints of caramel underneath the floral, spicy hop flavours.
Good mouthfeel. Carbonated enough to keep the tongue intrested, but not overwhelming. Quite drinkable...dare I try this in bottles?

I had this on tap in Victoria, BC and could tell it was fresh, fresh, fresh. Color was a nice orange with a solid head and it left moderate lacing. Smells were intense with citrus, and pine, and hops. Taste was very nice with massive amounts of citrus and a sharp bitterness. A very, very nice IPA. Not sure how the bottle compares, but fresh on tap is was mighty, mighty tasty.

Had this on in Victoria Canada at a small locals bar.
A: A nice copper color with big fluffy head that has nice retention. Nice lacing all the way down the glass.
S: Nicely balanced. Nice sweet bready malt aromas followed by hints of pine. There is also a bit of a fruity characteristic to this one.
T: A nice balance of hops and malt. Malt is first like in the nose. Nice sweet grainy bready malt. The hops power thru nice bold and bitter. This is a very american style IPA.
M: Medium body with ample carbonation.
D: Very nice.

Dark gold in colour with somewhat low carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, light pine, and a hint of black pepper. Heavy in the mouth with some bready overtones. Loads of assertive pine resin flavor. The citrus element returns mid-sip but fades again, leaving the pine, some chunky bitterness, and some leafy green hop flavor. Not very balanced, but I dont mind a hop-ladden beer like this.

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) Technical Assistance Center provides services and technical training to grantee programs, including the Department of Labor (DOL) Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP).
This section is designed to direct veterans to agencies and organizations that can help them prepare for and obtain employment, and to support the efforts of employment specialists who are working with homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness due to health, economic or other personal issues. Studies show that gainful employment at a livable wage, with opportunities for advancement, is the foundation for maintaining economic stability and reducing the risk of becoming homeless. Market factors such as layoffs, plant closings, high local rates of unemployment, and changes in a region's commercial base that adversely impact the availability of jobs usually affect younger, less experienced workers the most, including young veterans who are attempting to re-enter the civilian work force after their discharge from military service.
The U.S. Department of Labor-Veterans' Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS) is a key ally in helping veterans obtain meaningful careers, maximize their employment opportunities, and protect their employment rights. The agency, through a technical assistance grant, funds employment assistance provided by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV). The following links will guide you to employment resources that veterans need to find steady employment, along with other supportive services to ensure their success.
Current DOL-VETS Grantees
These grantees provide employment and other services to different veteran populations that are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
DOL Veteran Employment Services
DOL-VETS offers employment and training services to eligible veterans through a non-competitive Jobs for Veterans State Grants Program. This program funds two principal staff positions: Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program Specialists (DVOP) and Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER). To search online for the DVOP and/or LVER closest to you, click here. You can find more information about the roles of DVOP/LVERs on this VETS Employment Services Fact Sheet.
NCHV schedules conference calls on DOL grant programs, employment assistance, and many other topics relevant to serving homeless veterans. For upcoming calls and an archive of previous calls, visit the conference calls page.
Research Briefs

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Don't be surprised if Jabari Blash isn't with the team when the Rainiers return home to Tacoma on Tuesday.
He likes it here in Tennessee — so much that he may just want to stay.
Blash ripped a tiebreaking two-run homer in the top of the seventh inning Sunday afternoon, leading the Rainiers to a 4-3 win over the Nashville Sounds.
Tacoma has won the first three games in Nashville, and Blash has homered in each of them. Before the Nashville series, Blash went 6-for-13 over three games in Memphis.
Blash has driven in at least one run in all six games in which he has played this trip.
"He's swinging it," Tacoma manager Roy Howell said. "He's seeing the ball well, and when he gets pitches out over the plate he's not missing them."
Sunday's homer came with the score 2-2 in the top of the seventh.
Tacoma had missed out on several scoring opportunities earlier in the game, particularly in the first three innings against wild Nashville starter Ariel Pena.
Nick Franklin was at second base with one out, and Blash was facing Nashville reliever Arcenio Leon.
"It was a 3-2 count, and I was just looking to drive the ball and get the run in," Blash said. "He left a slider over the plate, and I was able to put a good swing on it and hit it out of the ballpark."
The homer extended Blash's hitting streak to 10 consecutive games — matching the longest of his career.
Over his past 15 games, he has hit eight home runs with 21 RBIs.
Chance Ruffin (3-3) earned the win, delivering three highly efficient innings in relief of starter Forrest Snow.
Ruffin allowed one hit and faced the minimum number of batters over the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings.
"Ruffin was attacking them inside," Howell said. "He was very aggressive throwing strikes."
Snow, a former University of Washington star, made his 2014 Tacoma debut, lasting five innings. He allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and did not walk a batter.
The victory was Tacoma's fourth in a row. That's the team's longest winning streak since taking six in a row from April 12-18.
Tacoma (30-39) has gone 5-2 on this trip, with one game remaining. The Rainiers are shooting for their first series sweep of the season — and Blash gets another chance to extend his home run streak.
The last game of Tacoma's trip is at 5:05 p.m. Monday, and it is the Rainiers' final game ever at Greer Stadium. Tacoma will start right-hander Andrew Carraway (2-4, 4.99 ERA) against Nashville right-hander Jimmy Nelson (7-1, 1.51).Mike Curto is the radio broadcaster for the Tacoma Rainiers.

It looks like it's happened again. For the second time in three years, Auburn is losing it's defensive coordinator to the University of Texas.
Sports Director Dave Cody at Fox 7 Sports in Austin, Texas reported at half-time during Thursday night's BCS game that Auburn's Will Muschamp will become the new co-defensive coordinator for the Longhorns.
Cody says it's a done deal.
Muschamp's predecessor at Auburn, Gene Chizik, left the Tigers for the Texas Longhorns in 2005.
Muschamp just finished his second year at Auburn leading a defense that finished in the top 10 nationally.

Copenhagen Philharmonic Flash Mob a Hit During A.M. Subway Commute
Above: the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra serenades morning subway commuters with "Morning" from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.
Ah, Denmark – home of the Tivoli Gardens, Legoland, fabled blue cheese and some great classical music flash mobs.
You might remember the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra's brilliant flash-mob rendition of Ravel's Bolero in Copenhagen's Central Station about a year ago, which can be seen below. Just last week, the orchestra gave Copenhagen's morning subway commuters a boost with a flash mob performance of "Morning" from Grieg's Peer Gynt. Simply stunning.
So, Columbus, anyone up for a classical music flash mob in our fair city?

Albany- As you celebrate at holiday parties, it's especially important this time of year to remember not to drink and drive.
Friday night, the family and friends of Kristy Tullis held a vigil for her and her unborn son Alex Vazquez.
The 19-year-old and her unborn baby died in September when an accused drunk driver hit her SUV at the intersection of Palmyra Road and Schley Avenue. Her loved ones want you to know the dangers of drinking and driving.
"We will not tolerate drunken drivers, and it does not matter whether you are rich or prominent within the town and we just want to let everyone know that justice shall be done," Sherline Williams, Tullis' aunt.
The family opened a fund at SunTrust Bank for Tullis' 2-year-old son Julian who is now being raised by his grandparents.

John Legend to Produce New NBC Comedy Sitcom
Charles E. Rogers | 9/28/2011, 6:54 p.m.
: Singer John Legend is now officially a television producer. NBC has picked up a new family comedy inspired by executive producing partner Mike Jackson's childhood.
Entitled "Mixed Blessings," the new sitcom will tell the story of a popular hip-hop artist living the dream and enjoying life until he finds out he's the father of a teenage son. Father and son will have a hard time connecting due to a culture clash between the life of a hip-hop artist and a son who was raised in the suburbs by a white family.
Also on the project are former NBC executive Teri Weinberg and Rob Pearlstein of "Medium." Legend's production efforts will stem from Get Lifted Film Co.
Deadline.com points out that this marks the first major foray into TV for Legend and Get Lifted Film. It's also the second high-profile comedy project at NBC this season with an A-level singer attached as a producer.
Here's wishing John Legend much success with his forthcoming NBC "Mixed Blessings" sitcom.

The Benefit Center at Delta Dental of Wisconsin has been awarded the prestigious BenchmarkPortal certification, given in conjunction with the Center for Customer-Driven Quality located at Purdue University.
The certification means that Delta Dental's Benefit Center is now judged to be a "Certified Center of Excellence," having met or surpassed rigorous standards of efficiency and effectiveness.
The certification is based on best-practice metrics drawn from the world's largest database of call center information, maintained by researchers from BenchmarkPortal and the Center for Customer-Driven Quality.
Delta Dental's certification was awarded following an audit that benchmarked its benefit Center against the best practices of a peer group of comparable centers. Auditors measured a variety of metrics including: the average speed of answer, percentage of calls satisfactorily handled on the first call, average length of call, even the number of hours new customer service agents spend in training. In addition, they interviewed many employees regarding their work environment and the Benefit Center's culture and philosophy. Certification is re-audited annually.
"This certification of Delta Dental of Wisconsin is a direct result of its leadership's commitment to balancing cost-effective service solutions with best-in-class service performance," said Dr. Jon Anton of Purdue University's Center for Customer-Driven Quality. "It is an achievement of distinction."
Karen Johnson, vice president, operations for Delta Dental of Wisconsin, said: "The certification is a testimony to the effort put forth by each member of our Wisconsin-based Benefit Center staff. It reflects the pride we have in delivering service solutions to subscribers, dentists, and other customers of our Benefit Center."

Driving Miss Daisy to Park in London in Fall 2011
By Robert Viagas
Vanessa Redgrave will re-create her Tony-nominated performance in the title role of Driving Miss Daisy in London this October, director David Esbjornson announced on the Tony Awards red carpet June 12.
Her co-star James Earl Jones will again play her driver and longtime friend in the revival of the Pulitzer-winning drama by Alfred Uhry. Boyd Gaines, who also starred in the Broadway revival, will join his co-stars on the other side of the Atlantic.
The production is scheduled to run 12 weeks at a London theatre to be announced. A U.S. national tour is planned for fall 2012.
From its Off-Broadway production in 1987 to the success of the Oscar-winning film version (four Academy Awards, including Best Picture), Driving Miss Daisy, according to producers, "is a timeless, searing, funny, and ultimately hopeful meditation on race relations in America, told through the complex relationship between two of popular culture's most enduring characters."
The play concerns Daisy Werthan, "a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury Atlanta, [who] is deemed too old to drive, [and] her son hires Hoke Colburn, an African American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a troubled and hostile pairing, soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that transcends all the societal boundaries placed between them."

This is obviously a major incident for HSBC but an email I have received informs me that all the transactions we took on the Friday 4th have been lost and should be manually re-imput. Short of contactcting all the customers who placed orders on the Friday and asking for their card details again I am not sure how to do this. In addition our website was unable to accept orders on Saturday which is usually a busy day for us causing us to lose a days trading. Has anyone else on the forum been affected by this?

MICDS sophomore guard Rashad Lindsey is traveling to the University of Indiana this weekend to watch the Hoosiers take on the top-ranked team in college basketball, the University of Kentucky.
He can only hope to see the kind of shooting display that he and St. Mary's guard Jon Connelly put on Friday night.
Connelly hit six 3-pointers and scored 26 points. Lindsey almost matched him point for point as he hit five 3-pointers and had 25 points in leading the Rams to a 60-48 victory at MICDS.
"I've worked hard with Coach A.T. (Aaron Thompson) on my shot and he has helped me out a lot," Lindsey said. "My main role is to still get everybody involved and touching the ball, though."
The point guard did that with some dandy dishes, several coming in crucial parts of the game.
"Rashad is coming along and making some strides," MICDS coach Matt Hixenbaugh said. "We are trying to get into a rhythm with three sophomores and three football players. It times we looked really good tonight and at times we did not."
One of the good times came in the first five minutes of the game as MICDS jumped out to a double digit lead at 14-3 after a three-point play by William Morehead.
"We have been getting off to slow starts and getting down by 10 points," Lindsey said. "A focus tonight was a good start and we were able to do that and were able to dictate the game."
MICDS never trailed in the game but things got interesting at times with the outside shooting of Connelly and his sophomore teammate, Josh Robinson.
"They are quite a tandem," Hixenbaugh said. "And St. Mary's is such a well-coached team. You can't get anything easy against them."
The last 15 points of the first half came on 3-pointers, a pair each by Lindsey and Connelly and one by Robinson. The trey by Robinson brought the Dragons to within three at 29-26 at halftime.
St. Mary's cut the deficit to two points twice in the third quarter, the last at 33-31. But Lindsey hit a 3-pointer as did Thomas Militello and the Rams led by nine going into the fourth quarter. MICDS would extend its lead to as many as 15 points in the final quarter.
Militello added 14 points and sophomore Robin Thompson had nine for the Rams, who improved to 3-1.
Robinson had 13 to go along with Connelly's 26 for the Dragons, who fell to 2-2.
