Deadline: March 29, 2013 (for Fall 2014 and Spring 2015).
Eligibility: To be considered, faculty must have begun employment in August 2006 or earlier. The Faculty Handbook reads, "Tenured faculty members who have completed at least six years of continuous service at the University are eligible for consideration for sabbatical leave."

This is my go to recipe when unexpected company drops in during the summer. I always have strawberries, either frozen or fresh on hand. Pudding mix and milk are also always in the fridge. I keep a couple of either homemade pound cakes or frozen ones in my freezer for just such occasions. This is quick and tastes good.

Police officers in Walls, Mississippi will be back out today looking for a missing Memphis man.
55 year old James Irby Junior disappeared after a traffic stop on May 4th.
Irby's mother claims Walls police officers told her they found marijuana in her son's car and when they confronted him he ran away.
But Irby's mother says that's not possible, because he has gout and prostate cancer, which she says means he can't run.
Earlier this week, the FBI joined the case.
And a rep for the Mississippi branch of the NAACP says they are helping the family.
Fox 13 will have a crew down there during the search and will bring you a full report tonight on FOX 13 News at 5.

It's not only the analysts who have been visiting us recently. We've also been hosting the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board and a group of investigators looking to assess our licence application.
I've been through licensing processes before but, I have to say, nothing as extensive as this. And it's not only at a corporate level that we're investigated and scrutinised but at the personal level too. I haven't felt this closely assessed since I met my prospective father-in-law for the first time!!
They've been very professional and thorough, meeting with a wide range of the management team and taking a trip up to Leeds to understand more of the organisation. I and the rest of my team have enjoyed meeting their team. The level of interest they've shown in getting to know us has been rewarding. We all love to talk about our business and don't always get to do that with people who really appreciate what we do.
We're only part way through this lengthy process and look forward to the next visit later in the Fall before we finally go before the Nevada Board, potentially in spring of next year.
Some describe the Nevada process as the gold standard. That under-estimates how stringent it really is and how seriously the team take their responsibilities. Nothing less than platinum will do as a description.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made his first address at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday. He discussed the U.S. financial system and the nation's economic security.
In recent testimony to Congress, Sec. Geithner admitted that the 2013 budget proposal for his agency does not address long-term budget deficits caused primarily by health care costs. The Secretary also expanded on his recent comments calling for Congress to keep working together following an agreement on extending the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance.
In February, Sec. Geithner said President Obama's $3.8 trillion budget proposal will "reduce deficits significantly over time and put the nation back on a sustainable budget path." The proposal includes vehicles for raising revenues, one of which is a tax hike on the top two percent of wage earners.

New mental health charity to be set up (From York Press)

New mental health charity to be set up
Updated 4:56pm Wednesday 7th May 2014 in News
A YOUNG woman whose boyfriend took his own life after suffering from depression is setting up a mental health charity.
Emma Greatrex, 25, of Skipwith, has founded Together Opening Minds, which is awaiting charitable status and aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of mental health problems and to fund more mental health nurses in the area.
Emma's boyfriend Thomas John*, a company director, died last year at the age of 28 having begun to suffer from mental health problems.
She and a team of friends have taken part in a 15,000-foot skydive to raise nearly £3,000 for the fund.
Emma said: "Sadly, this is just one of a plethora of stories that are contributing to ever-increasing figures every year.
"Be this from mild depression to an acute mental illness, but when the world loses a chap like Tom, then it's time to make a change.
"Depression in men is not necessarily the issue; it's getting people to talk about their problems that is. No-one should suffer in silence – and this is where we come in.
"We plan to bring this issue to the forefront of people's awareness, and demonstrate that we all have a part to play in eradicating this problem.
"We want people to talk about their issues be them minor or something that affects their everyday life."
Tom, who was known for being very sociable and outgoing, had become withdrawn and showed other symptoms of depression.
Days before Tom died, he started to open up to his parents and Emma and began to take steps rectify some of the issues that he was experiencing but very tragically committed suicide soon afterwards.
The charity hopes people will share their own experiences of mental health problems to help raise acceptance and awareness of the prevalence of such problems.

Other funds have been raised through donations and events at Saks in York and the Drovers Arms in Skpwith.

However, the one thing I would question is whether this charity is simply duplicating the work of other mental health charities such as Mind, Rethink, Time to change etc. In my view we actually probably need a lot fewer charities in the UK, to cut down on the costs and admin that they all inevitably incur, so that a greater percentage of the donations raised can be spent on the charitable work, rather than rent, heating, etc.
This is not a personal criticism by the way, and if this new charity is actually tacking an area of need which isn't currently being addressed by the other charities, then that's a different matter. Unfortunately though, we have already seen two local mental health charities being forced to merge in the last few years because neither was sustainable as a separate entity, so it does raise the question of whether forming another one is necessarily the best way to go?

My ex-wife was a counselor from USA (LACP) and UK (BACP) and couldn't get job in mental health as they were not funding adequately, she also stated UK compared to USA was roughly 10-15 years behind USA in mental health treatment and services. Article on main BBC news website where woman from York had mental health problem , no bed in York so they took her in ambulance to London!! that's so ridiculous.
After been through and worked in mental health any thing set up is a benefit to people in need of such services someservices are really rubbish in york so iI hope this charity takes off and all the best to them please send me your email I will let you know my story and how mental health is in york.

There is only so much that York Mind can do and there is an awfully long waiting lists or waiting lists that are closed plus the activities are vastly over-subcribed like months.
Good luck

This addition of the big three have had a taste of making it to that championship throne. Even without Perk, they came minutes away from a refill. This 2012 playoff edition may just be the final go around for the green. Similar to the previous couple of years, there are questions and doubts about whether or not this team even has fumes to run on (never mind gas).
Even though Ed Lecerte may have to roll these guys out in wheel chairs, I believe that there is still some fight left in them. Drinking and cleansing themselves with champagne must be a feeling that is like no other for these players. There are two things the guys are very clear on; how hard is to even make it to the finals, and how sweet it is if you're the team holding the trophy.
These guys are getting closer and closer to retirement. For some strange reason, I have more confidence in this team winning it all this go around than in previous years.
This is it. The final curtain call. Atlanta doesn't scare me. D-Rose back problems may present more of a problem than people think. Miami can't find a way to beat us even on their home court.
Other reasons for optimism; Avery Bradley is an absolute stud. I love how well he moves without the ball. Not only is he a lock down defender, but his ability to knock down that three point shot really spreads the defense out. Bass is not only a solid defender but he can be a beast taking it to the hole. Speaking of solid defenders, who would have guessed how effective Stiemsma is in blocking shots.
Then there is Red Bull Rondo. He is a walking triple double, who is the best point guard in the league. That's right, I said it.
The stage is set and the fat lady hasn't even warmed up yet. I am anticipating a couple of bows when it is all said and done. Any thing is poooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiibbbbbbbbbbbbbbllllleeeee!

Support Study Abroad Opportunities Through the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences
During his study abroad experience in Ireland, economics and marketing major Gregory J. Callanan '07 examined the nation's technical expertise and economic growth. He also went to Ghana with a business development and global citizenship program, where he taught basic business skills to more than 350 people. Further participation in a community-service learning course took him to a Massachusetts middle school in an economically depressed area.
Callanan's various scholarship awards, including a College of Social and Behavior Sciences Opportunity Scholarship, made these experiences possible. These awards also enabled Callanan's next steps as he pursues a stint in the Peace Corps and employment in the nonprofit world. Currently SBS honors 12 academically outstanding students majoring in social and behavioral sciences each year. SBS would like to greatly increase that number.

Another thought is trade Maualuga to the Rams for Isaiah Pead. What are your thoughts? The Bengals need a running back and need to get rid of Maualuga while we can still get soemthing for him.

The national Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program was funded by Congress in 2005 in an effort to create safe environments for American children to walk or bike to school. Has the program been effective? In New York City, most definitely, according to a new study conducted at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health that evaluated the program here. Researchers found that the annual rate of injury to school-age pedestrians ages 5-19 fell 44% during the peak times for walking to school, in neighborhoods where the program was implemented. Significantly, the injury rate did not drop in parts of the city where the SRTS safety program was not in place.
Findings of the report are published online in Pediatrics.
The researchers analyzed motor vehicle crash data for 169,000 pedestrian injuries between 2001 and 2010 for different age groups and neighborhoods with and without SRTS interventions to assess the program's effectiveness.
Interventions for reducing pedestrian injury included new traffic and pedestrian signals, the addition of exclusive pedestrian crossing times, speed bumps, speed boards, high-visibility crosswalks, and new parking regulations. More than 120 NYC schools were selected by the NYC Department of Transportation for the interventions because they had the highest rates of pedestrian injury.
The researchers created a school-travel time indicator variable to further identify crashes that occurred during days and hours when school-aged children would be traveling to or from school. This time period was defined as 7 AM to 9 AM or 2 PM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday between September and June.
"Our data show that interventions to make the built environment safer can greatly reduce injuries to children as they walk to school", says the lead author of the study, Charles DiMaggio, PhD, associate professor of Epidemiology and research director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Preve

HP's BladeSystem server offering is quite extensive – everything from a 4 CPU Intel blade to an Itanium CPU blade, however their most well hidden, secret blade is their BL2x220c blade server. Starting at $6,129, this blade server is an awesome feet of design because it is not just 1 server, it is 2 serversin 1 blade case – in a clam shell design (see below). This means that in a HP C7000 BladeSystem chassis you could have 32 servers! That's 64 CPUs, 256 CORES, 2TB of RAM all in a 10U rack space. That's pretty impressive. Let me break it down for you. Each "node" on a single 2 node BL2x220c G5 server contains:
- Up to two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5400 sequence processors
- Up to 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) of memory, supported by (4) slots of PC2-5300 Registered DIMMs, 667 MHz
- 1 non-hot plug small form factor SATA or Solid State hard drive
- Embedded Dual-port NC326i Gigabit Server Adapter
- One (1) I/O expansion slots via mezzanine card
- One (1) internal USB 2.0 connector for security key devices and USB drive keys
You may have noticed that this server is a "G5″ version and currently has the older Intel 5400 series processors. Based on HP's current blade offering, expect to see HP refresh of this server to a "G6″ model that will contain the Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processors. Once that happens, I expect for more memoryslots to come with it, since the Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processors have 3 memory channels. I'm guessing 12 memory slots "per node" or 24 memory slots per BL2x220c G6. Purely speculation on my part, but it would make sense.
Why do I consider this server to be one of HP's best hidden secrets? Simply because with that amount of server density, server processing power and server memory, the BL2x220c could become a perfect virtualization server. Now if they'd only make a converged network adapter (CNA)…

Good morning AP. First I want to tell NJ I hope you have a great time on your cruise. It's a bit too early for Merry Christmas just yet. But we will miss you. You deserve a vacation, so relax and enjoy. Allrighty then. I was thumbing through the Yahoo Sports this morning and reading up on Chris Henry and his situation. I want to wish Chris well and a speedy recovery. Oh and also come back as a Chief next year.
Anyway, it is very obvious that the Matt Cassel debate is stronger than ever on AP and around KC. I was not aware the Pioli debate was still raging strong however. I love to debate as much as the next guy. I have my favorite's on here that I love to bump heads with. Although sadly we will be losing someone I considered to be a friend and a welcome addition to AP. Patrick Allen you will be missed brother.
I was going to jump back into the post about Matt Cassel this morning because there are 45 new comments. Hard to believe really. But then I stopped myself. I got this excited little butterfly thing going on in my stomach for a second. Not because I have anything else to say about Matt Cassel. I am officially done with that discussion.
I will not comment on anything more to do with Cassel the rest of the season. Here's why!
I think this last off season was one of the most exciting for us here in KC. I know you guys felt like I did every time someone new was welcomed to the Red and Gold. Especially Cassel and Pioli. I know text messages were flying at the speed of light when Carl got canned (resigned whatever)! I know they were flying again when we got the Pioli news. And I'd bet we slowed the phone systems down around the U.S. when Cassel and Vrabel came on board.
First off, Hoodie is a genius. He would never have let the next Tom Brady slip away with Vrabel for a 2nd round pick. That being said. Pioli is a genius and he never would have given up our desperately needed 2nd round pikc for a schmuck QB. Right? Ok. Let's go with that because it's positive.
So from here on out the debate on Cassel is closed for me. Because AP we are about to enjoy THE single most exciting off season in the last 20 years. If you think last year was great, hang on to your hats. You KNOW Pioli knows how we fans feel right now. You know he's under the spotlight. You know he has an ego the size of Arrowhead.
I don't think we should be complaining about his ego. It may be our best friend in years to come. I just cannot see Pioli winning all those awards for Exec of the year while at NE being a fluke. Even more so I cannot see him allowing his reputation to be tarnished by screwing up his first GM job. So take heart. We have more to agree on and to celebrate together than we do to fight about.
Really the Cassel debate at this point in the season is meaningless. What's going to happen is going to happen and we aren't going to change that. If Pioli wants to keep him he will. If he wants to draft a super stud out of college and groom him, he will. So why are we fighting? Look it's sad that our off season is more exciting than our season is. I agree. But hell, the season is almost over. No more tortured Sundays. No more Monday morning sad posts. NO more Tuesday war zone on AP.
Our best time of the season so far is coming. Our Christmas gift is about to be unveiled. Pioli did a nice job so far of stacking up draft picks. Now we know for a fact that if Cassel is surrounded by a high quality well coached team he can excel. I would love an 11-5 record next year wouldn't you? So instead of bashing Cassel (yes I raised my hand) let's start over and concentrate on getting him that dynamic team next year. So what if he can only excel with a Patriots or Colts type team. That's what we want here in KC anyway isn't it? We want a team that is as elite as the Colts, Saints or Pats don't we? So then who cares about the Cassel thing anymore.
If that's what he needs to excel then let's get him that team and surround him with the "right 53" this year. And let's surprise everyone in our division and in the football world and whip that a** next year. Hey, the offseason is coming soon and we are going to have one hell of an exciting time together. In fact my email is firstname.lastname@example.com and I invite all of you to drop me a line and I'll put you in my contacts and we can write each other when we get that exciting news about who is coming to KC to play ball next year.
It's Christmas, the SB and then the offseason again. Let's bury the hatchet all of us and start fresh we have so much to look forward to. Whadda ya say AP....get over here and give me a hug!!

USA Update
Florida... scary moments at a construction site in Miami Beach today after a crane tips over and lands on a building. The accident sent the truck carrying the crane up into the air with a man trapped inside. He was eventually rescued by firefighters and did not appear to be hurt. No word on what caused the accident, or on any damage to the building...
Maryland... three people are critically hurt after a building collapses in Baltimore County. It happened this morning at the vacant Bethlehem Steel plant while crews were demolishing a building there. Eight people were hurt, but five of those injuries aren't too serious, and everyone else in the building has been accounted for. No word yet on a cause...
Minnesota... the newest city to hold a Comic Con is calling it a huge success. Minneapolis became the fourth U.S. city to host the event, joining New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. And there was definitely a large Star Wars feel to the whole thing, since yesterday was "May the Fourth be with you" Day. The pop-culture extravaganza also attracted celebrities like William Shatner. And with that we hope you live long and prosper, on this USA Update.

Oh, The Statistical Humanity! Denver Broncos Aerial Machine Goes Down in Flames
The Denver Broncos and their sexy, record-setting offense were humiliated 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII, joining a long, long list of great offenses that came up small when the moment got big. Peyton Manning, meanwhile, has now led the two worst postseason offensive implosions of the past 50 years.
Super Bowl XLVIII: Broncos-Seahawks The Statistically Perfect Super Bowl
Football is a chaotic, complicated and violent game. Yet it follows simple and definable statistical patterns centered around one single factor: the efficiency of your QB vs. the other guy's QB. And in this case, those patterns tell us that Denver-Seattle is the Statistically Perfect Super Bowl.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 30, 2011) – Lady of Shamrock, purchased privately after breaking her maiden at Churchill Downs last month, stamped herself as a filly with a bright future Friday when drilling her opposition in Santa Anita's $81,000 Blue Norther Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at one mile on turf.
Under a vigorous hand ride by Garrett Gomez, Lady Shamrock burst between rivals in midstretch to overtake Batalha and score by 2 ¾ widening lengths in 1:34.24. Batalha, with Chantal Sutherland aboard, saved the place by a neck over fast-closing Byrama in the field of nine.
It had taken the daughter of Scat Daddy three races in the East to break her maiden, but when she finally did at odds of 8-1, Lady of Shamrock did so with an impressive turn of foot. She promptly was purchased privately by a representative of trainer John Sadler on behalf of Hronis Racing.
"I worked her a couple of weeks ago," said an approving Gomez in the Blue Norther winner's circle. "We were very excited about this race."
Gomez had Lady of Shamrock placed well behind a swift pace dictated by Coup de Coeur that included a half-mile in 45.00. "They were flying early," Gomez noted. "My filly was able to run by them pretty easily."
Bet down to 9-5 favoritism, Lady of Shamrock returned $5.60, $3.40 and $3. Batalha paid $6.20 and $4.40. Byrama, who closed resolutely for the show with Corey Nakatani aboard after breaking awkwardly, paid $5.20.
Nakatani thought that the poor start cost his British-import dearly. "She should improve a lot off of this," he said. Asked if he thought Byrama could turn the tables on the winner with a clean break and trouble-free trip, Nakatani replied, "Absolutely. No doubt about it. She's got a lot of talent, and hopefully she'll show it next time."
Lady of Shamrock's new owners added $48,600 to a ledger that was $30,100 at the time of their purchase. The dark bay filly had fetched $11,000 when sold originally in May. Her recent sales price was not disclosed.
Although Lady Shamrock provided a formful ending to the Blue Norther, Friday's Pick Six proved elusive, as one winning ticket returned $76,240. The singleton was purchased at a wagering hub in Montreal, Canada.
Santa Anita rings in a three-day holiday weekend on Saturday with the Grade I, $300,000 La Brea Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at seven furlongs highlighting a nine-race program. Turbulent Descent is the 6-5 favorite in a field of nine while bidding to become 2011's champion female sprinter. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

The first "clunker" I have had from Hale's,poured adeep amber/brown with just a very thin wispy head that was gone in a blink it looked like flat pop really no lace just flatness.A flat lifeless mouthfeel no carbonation to speak of,decent flavors dark fruit like that of dried cherries and raisins intertwined with caramel and brown sugar notes.Damn I am not sure if I got a bad bottle or what but it was flat and lifeless,sure it has decent flavor but to many other things keep this beer down.

Appearance Thick brown with a reddish hue. The head was decent and left a little lacing.
Smell Light smoke character with a faint malt base. Theres not much to smell here.
Taste The taste though is pretty good. The peat smoke flavor is clean and crisp, and there are just enough hops to balance things out. I can also pick up a small sugary sweetness.
Mouthfeel Medium-bodied and somewhat dry. This one feels good and clean in the mouth.
Drinkability This is an excellent winter session ale. It went down without a hitch and fit the style nicely. Great effort by this local brewery.

Wow, bottle conditioned. Very dark brown with a leaning to garnet, the clarity is fine. Lacing leaves a few rings on the glass. Heavy head of malt in the nose, smells of brown malt and a deep mix of toasted grain and faint caramel. Maltiness starts off bold but then a quick running of hop character comes through, at first your taste buds brace for bitterness but it lands small but balanced. Then a lingering of herbal minty flavor fades to let the malt take over. Slight sugary note, more brown sugar right in the middle of the toasted malt. Faint amount of alcohol shows up but comes off relatively clean, malty finish pulls towards semi-dry.
Solid, very solid. Easy to drink and a bit of a malt bomb, but balanced. Worth the hunt if you can find it.

Pours a transparent chestnut with a slight off-white head receding quickly leaving only a collar and a bit of swirling. Nose is strong with astringent qualities causing one to percieve a fairly high ABV, unlisted but perhaps 8ish percent? Taste is malty and sweet with cinnamon and raisins coming to mind, somewhat metallic mouthfeel with a definite pronounced alcoholic tingle. Finish is quite abrupt leaving me to wonder what happened after the swallow, not much to think about once this one goes down the hatch. Overall a fair beer, unremarkable but warming and pleasant on a rainy Washington night.

Clear dark reddish-brown, tepid head that reduces to a yellowish skim in 30 seconds. Mostly a caramel aroma with a bit of cracked black pepper. Full-bodied impression, a little smokey and some impression of maple syrup. There's a bittering early in the flavor, and peppery hops are pretty noticeable late toward the swallow. Low carbonation. Hmm...the maltiness is a little unidimensional in this beer, not that interesting a sweetness to me. Some hop profile similarities to Anderson Valley Belk's ESB...

Shadowy copper with a thin tan head.
Aroma is full of caramel malt richness along with faint tropical fruit whispers. Light touches of smoke and perfumed hops as well.
Taste begins big and malty. Scorched toffee and bread notes dominate throughout. Peat smoke is fairly quiet, but makes it's presence felt underneath the malts. As it warms, spices seem to materialize. Touches of thyme, orange peel and ginger. Nice! I am having a hard time deciding if this is actually spiced or not. Hops enter and mix in a heavily perfumed, floral hues which grow increasingly bitter. Smoke is noticed once again after the swallow.
Smooth drinking. If I was looking for a reason to knock this, I'd say it was a hair on the thin side, and could actually use a bit more heft from the malts. But that's being overly picky. This is lovely stuff.
Great winter brew. I'd stock up if it was available here.
Many thanks to Bighuge for this.

A slightly hazy deep-mahogany body is capped by a short lid of creamy light-tan foam. The head retention is limited and it drops shortly to just a thin collar. Oddly enough, however, it does leave some minor spotty lace about the glass. A gentle aroma of spiced cookies and some background smokiness welcome you to imbibe. The body is medium and works well with its very fine and moderate carbonation to leave it smooth and just-lightly creamy in the mouth. And a gentle mouthfeel is needed as spice (cinnamon, ginger?) immediately hits the tongue in the flavor - a higher level of carbonation would accentuate that spiciness, and it's pretty full as it is. Some moderate caramel follows as it warms across the tongue, backed by an additional touch of alcoholic "spice"; and finally a whisk of whirling bitterness that leads into a dry and spicy finish that's awash in drying alcohol. A really interesting and enjoyable beer that makes a great nightcap or after-dinner drink.

Pours a dark brown color with orange highlights, topped by an off-white head that quickly recedes to a small halo. Nose of sweet dark malt, brown sugar, and a hint of smokiness. Palate is again sweet up front, with dark malt lending a deep brown sugary sweetness, along with some dark fruit. No discernible hop presence. A light alcohol warming sensation emerges on the finish. Body is a bit creamy, but leaves me wishing it were a littler thicker. Not a particularly interesting beer, but certainly passable.

Pours a purple hued chestnut with minimal sand colored head. Minimal lacing & head retention
S: Big time cakeyness & some ginger bread spices as this warms
T: Cakeyness, chocolate & a bit of licorice up front. Caramel, brown sugar, some herbal hops & dryness surface as this warms. Finishes dry with much caramel, a little fruittyness & some toffee. Slightly out of style
MF: Chewy with slight carbonation
Drink fairly easy, but the dryness would get off this after a few. Solid Wee-heavy, worth a shot

A 12 oz bottle purchased at Liquid Solutions.
A: The ale is a garnet red color that showcases some deeper brown highlights. The head on pour weighs in around 1.5 fingers and retains nicely.
S: The wee heavy has a sweet malty aroma that is heavy on smokiness. The sweetness conjures up caramel and toffee elements.
T: The ale has a very heavy malt character. It is concentrated and sweet, having some alefruit elements that are chewy. I detect raisiny notes, some brown sugar and a distinctive funky yeast. There is a slightly smoky essence holding everything together.
M: The mouthfeel is heavy on the sweet malts, nicely supporting a smoky element.
D: The ale has a nice flavor but seems to come up short with the smokiness. The malts are sweet and could easily handle the added smoke.

12 oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a dark ruddy brown and holds a pinky sized tan head that is fairly bubbly. Fruity esters, sweet malt, brown sugar and a decent dose of hops. The first sip is carmelized brown sugar, burnt dark breads and toasted toffee. Cherry tinged fruity notes and again a fairly hefty dose of bittering hops in the finish.

12oz picked from the Coop for about $1.55... enjoyed with a coworker... mine from a small weizen glass... I know not the best glass choice, but it was already dirty.
Very short lasting 1/2" head.. no lacing at all... deep brown until the light reveals a nice ruby color.
Aroma is suprisingly leaning toward citrus hops... some brown malts and toffee aromas... yeasty fruitiness is ever present.
Bitterness is too big for a Scotch ale.. so is the hop flavors.. citrus rinds are obvious.. dark caramel malts.. and toasted grains come into play near the end of the palate.. needs more body and malty flavors and plain and simple maltiness... a little watery.
I really don't know what to say about this brew ... does not at all strike me as a Wee Heavy.. a bigger body is definately needed and quite a bit less American hops.. I feel sorta bad writing this.. I normally like Hales brews ... Reminds much more of a winter warmer...

Poured into a MacAndrew's thistle glass. Pours a hazy, medium ruddy orange amber. Two finger fine light tan head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, cinnamon, faint hops. Flavor of biscuit malt, light peppery hops, light cinnamon, finishing with the same peppery hops. Somewhat on the dry side and hoppy for a scotch ale, but nicely balanced. Medium body with a pleasant creaminess. I enjoyed this interesting take on a wee heavy with a nod towards a winter warmer. I'll look for this next year.

pours a dark raisin color, with glowing garnet and ruby at the edges. Darker and more mahogany in the glass than I was anticipating. A thin tan head quickly faded to a meager collar leaving a bit of sticky lacing.
aroma of caramel malts, sweet and sugary. there's a piney note hidden in there, and a bit more dark fruit, along the lines of figs and raisins. A touch of yeasty bread proverbially rounds it out, although definitely sweet.
Taste follows aroma fairly closely, with the sweetness dominating. Fairly simple roasted malt profile with some ample maple and honey sweetness. There's a strong hop bittering that comes through, giving a rough almost piny finish.
Carbonation is thin but heavy at the same time, pairing with that finishing bitterness to leave a lingering tingling on the tongue, not far from licking a pine tree. Prickly and sticky, vinous and lingering. Not my favorite.
On the whole not bad. A bit more middle of the road than other hales brews, this one doesn't blow me away. Pair that with the overly bitter notes for the style and a slightly offputting mouthfeel and this one just falls a bit short. Not by far, and i'm sure I'll drink a few more before the season passes, but it's just not quite what I'd hoped for. definitely good enough to give it a shot.

The beer pours a deep copper to almost mahogany, the head modest in size and the texture frothy, with a decent covering of lace upon the glass. The aroma sweet malt, caramel, light hints of cinnamon, quite a nice nose, with the start sweet and malt laden, top is middling in its feel to the palate. Finish has a pleasant hop spicy bite and the carbonation moderate with a very dry lingering aftertaste.

News: Jadakiss Blames NY Rappers For Downfall, "The Ego Started Playing A Part"
Monday, Apr 20, 2009 2:30PM
With the success of his latest album The Last Kiss debuting high on the charts, Jadakiss recently discussed the absence of New York rappers' lyricism and their lost status within hip-hop.
While claiming the Big Apple was down for the past few years, Kiss did say he felt a string of New York artists would follow his lead with quality music.
"New York took a hit when everybody started getting money," Kiss said in an interview. "Everybody was doing alright in record sales. Everybody had some success but then the ego started playing a part. From then, nobody wanted to do songs with each other. N*ggas were on some, 'I'm not f*cking with that n*gga. I'm not doing that!' That hurt everybody in a whole and everybody stopped dropping albums. Then wherever, the South, the West came, linked up, and collected that money for certain amont of years. I just feel like this is going to give everybody some sense of inspiration to come. you got Fab[olous] coming. You got more north artists that's gon' come back. you know Red [Cafe] is doing his thing. Maino is doing his thing. This gon' give everybody motivation to put music out, so then, nobody has to sit down and complain." (Hip Hop Game)
Kiss recently shared his thoughts on his Def Jam debut selling over 100,000 copies in its first week.
"I ain't know what to expect now with the way the game is," Kiss said in an interview. "But I know I got a core fanbase. I don't think Def Jam expected that, so now we gotta get on the same page. I will say that's a great number for the climate and the way the music industry is right now and that's without a big hit at radio...I got longevity, that's why I got legs...It's always good when you can say I told you so. It's always good when you get the last laugh. But I'm just happy to be embraced after all these years, 'cause hip-hop fans' ears change hourly. I'ma be here for a while." (XXL Mag)
Debuting atop all urban releases last week, Kiss opened within Nielsen Soundscan's top 5.
The Lox's Jadakiss leads this week's urban artists as The Last Kissdebuts at No. 3. According to Nielsen Soundscan, the rapper's Def Jam/Roc-A-Fella debut sold 134,900 copies after seven days in stores. (Sales Wrap)
He also celebrated his album at the MySpace Music Release party in New York shouting-out his new label.
"New York, make some motherf*cking noise," Jada told the screaming audience. "Check it out, before we set this off I want everybody to put they middle finger in the air...I'd like to thank all y'all for coming out, it's important, it's your boy Kiss. Big on to everyone on MySpace. Shout-out to Adidas. I wanna shout-out to Def Jam for holding me down, my new family. L.A. Reid in the building, I love you baby." (SOHH On The Scene)

Berlin wall removal project stalls amid protests
BERLIN (AP) -- Hundreds of angry protesters on Friday prevented construction workers from removing a section of one of the few remaining stretches of the Berlin Wall, part of a plan to build a road to a new luxury condominium being built on the banks of the reunited city's Spree river.
Crews only managed to remove one section from the famous East Side Gallery before about 300 protesters pressed too close for work to continue. Demonstrators then wheeled in a mock wall section they had set up in front of the gap.
The East Side Gallery is the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall and is one of the German capital's most popular tourist attractions, with Nicolas Cage recently mugging for snapshots with his wife Alice Kim during time off from the Berlin film festival. It was recently restored at a cost of more than $3 million to the city.
The wall section stood on the eastern side of the elaborate border strip built by communist East Germany and, when the border was closed, carried none of the graffiti that covered the western side of the wall.
Play about a pope resigning heading off-Broadway
NEW YORK (AP) -- The debut of Tom Attea's new play is likely to benefit from some holy timing -- he's written a play about a pope resigning.
The off-Broadway company Theater for the New City said Friday it will produce Attea's "Benedictus," a play written two years about a pope who steps down.
It is slated to run from May 30 to June 16 at the company's home in lower Manhattan. Mark Mercante will direct the production with incidental music by Arthur Abrams. According to producers, the play is about the fictional Pope Benedictus, who has visions that command him to follow a new calling. Top cardinals must then decide what to do with him.
Fifteen weapons taken from shop on 'American Guns' show
WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (AP) -- Police in suburban Denver say 12 handguns and three rifles were taken from the gun shop featured on Discovery Channel's "American Guns."
Wheat Ridge police had said earlier this week that they didn't have an immediate tally of what was taken during a break-in at the Gunsmoke Gun Shop early Wednesday. They said Friday that no assault weapons were stolen.
Police were alerted to the break-in by a silent alarm and found a burglar or burglars had entered the shop through a hole in the roof.
A witness across the street reported seeing a silver two-door car leaving the gun shop's parking lot, but investigators say they need more help from the public to solve the case.
Thousands of caterpillars seized at UK airport
LONDON (AP) -- British customs agents made a creepy discovery when an airline passenger was found with 94 kilograms (207 pounds) of caterpillars in his luggage.
The man claimed they were intended as food for personal consumption.
The U.K. Border Force said Friday that inspectors at London's Gatwick Airport found the dried caterpillars shrink-wrapped in cellophane and packed into hessian bags carried by a passenger travelling from Burkina Faso via Istanbul.
The caterpillars were seized by authorities after the Feb. 23 find because they breached restrictions on importing
animal products. The 22-year-old passenger was let off with a warning.
Border Force spokeswoman Ingrid Smith said "the vigilance of our officers has stopped these dried insects from entering the U.K., and possibly posing a risk to our food chain."
Bad 'Fresh Prince' rap triggers Pa. lockdown
AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) -- Now this is a story all about how a high school student's life got turned upside down. But it was all just a bad rap.
The teen's voicemail greeting triggered a lockdown at his Pennsylvania school after a receptionist misheard his rendition of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme song.
While trying to confirm an appointment with 19-year-old Travis Clawson the receptionist thought the message said "shooting people outside of the school." The line is actually "shooting some b-ball," a reference to basketball.
The receptionist called 911 and Economy police arrested Clawson a short time later at Ambridge Area High School, but released him once he explained the message.
Acting police Chief James Mann says police acted "appropriately" out of concern for students' welfare.
Clawson's family has contacted an attorney.

according to this story from ESPN http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3433834 the draft isn't over. This "draft" includes the next Miguel Cabrera and Pedro Martinez. One scouts say that top three or four talents in this draft "would [challenge] the first selection if they were eligible for the American draft this year; I have no doubt about that," according to one AL exec.
Maybe we'll get to see how well GMDM's stepped up the scouting efforts in Latin America if we sign any of these fellas. Seems like an even bigger risk than signing high schoolers is signing 16-year-old LAs but maybe even more "upside".
Has this been on our radar before? I don't remember the Royals picking up guys like this in the past.

Square Meal talks to the L'Anima chef about his forthcoming project L'Anima Café, riding out the economic storm in the City, and what he thinks about the competition.
L'Anima Café is one of those babies that takes its time learning how to walk. Of course, being Italian, we are laid back about it. Everyone keeps asking me when it will open, and I always reply, "when we're ready". At the moment, it's a very busy time for us with L'Anima and I don't want to get distracted. L'Anima Café will be completely different to L'Anima, so I want to take my time with it to make sure it's right. I'm already developing dishes for the Café menu – we want to make it one of the top trattorias in London. It's looking like it will open in 2014.
L'Anima Café is going to be a lot of fun. Very few places do proper spaghetti carbonara any more, or arrabbiata – it's food that I want to eat when I go out for a casual meal, and it's food that my kids can enjoy. The way we eat in southern Italy is to share everything – a big bowl of pasta, a fish cooked in rock salt, roasted meat... so, at L'Anima Café on Sundays, we're going to do a fantastic lunch in the style of a real Italian mamma. We'll have a communal table where you can share the food, and we'll use very good ingredients, with as much as possible sourced from the UK, cooked in a very simple way – all at reasonable prices. We've also got a fantastic wood-fired oven. I'm very excited. And we're going to have a small shop selling wine, olive oil, pasta, which will be open seven days a week.
I think all of our L'Anima customers will really want to go to the Café – for big meetings they will probably stick with L'Anima, but for everyday lunches they will try the Café. Our takeaway menu should also be popular, and we're going to have a tavola calda (snack bar) so that people can eat and run.
We were one of the pioneers of the City dining scene and we've been on the map for six years now. Since then, a dozen or so big-name restaurants have opened – Galvin La Chapelle, of course, and newcomers such as HKK, which is getting very busy, and Sushisamba, which is doing huge numbers. It's good for our business to have more restaurants in the area, as it means more people coming to the City. Whereas we used to work hardest during weekday lunchtimes and relax after that, now it's busy all day, every day. Friday and Saturday nights used to be dead, but now Friday night in particular is massive – it's really snowballed.
I don't normally have sleepless nights, but during the first week that L'Anima launched, we only had 10 people in the restaurant on Monday night, and we were closed on Saturday. Luckily, our first review was great, the second was fantastic, the third was phenomenal – and after three months we were packed every single day.
We had a strange year last year, but now things are picking up again incredibly well and we're back to trading as we were in 2010-11. It's easier to get bums on seats in the West End as there are so many people walking past, whereas in the City you have to drag them in, and after 9.30pm there's not a soul around. But I think we did things right from the start, which helped us push through.
I like Hakkasan – the chef is a good friend of mine, and I spent one year of my career in Asia so I know that style of cooking very well. The place I'm most enjoying at the moment is Naamyaa Café. My wife and I love it – it does really good Thai food, and it's very original. I think [Naamyaa Café's owner] Alan Yau is a genius. I'm really excited about his new place Duck & Rice [at The Endurance pub in Soho]. His idea of a Chinese gastropub is an excellent one.

Mltiplyr is reporting that a recent twitter post from Treyarch's David Vonderhaar has confirmed that the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be deferring from the usual matchmaking system of region, and instead be using a latency and ping method.
The twitter post in question has since been deleted, however if the change is true, it will most likely help those who in previous CoD games found the matchmaking was placing them in games with not-so-favourable hosts. It is not known whether this system will be in place for PC players, however currently Treyarch has confirmed that those on the computer will be given a ranked dedicated server model, which shouldn't make lag a problem.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be available for all platforms on November 13th.

We all know of Price, Davis, Hellickson, Brignac etc...
It's easy to know those guys. They are talked about more and consider less likely to fail because they are closer. Well this post is dedicated strictly to the guys in Colombus (low A ball) and lower. I'll only post about guys I feel have a good shot to one day be considered one of our top 10 prospects. If I like them, but dont know enough yet than you will find them under the Other Sleepers at the bottom of each affiliate. Any kind of scouting reports you guys can find would be very welcomed.
Colombus (low A ball):
Alex Cobb (20)-SP
He's not a huge guy (6'1) or the hardest thrower but he's very effective. His best pitch is his sinker, which is very good. He's still working on the command of the breaking pitches but that's to be expected. He induces twice as many groundballs than flyballs. He also strikes out around 7 guys per 9 innings. The ability to get alot of grounders could make him a star if he plays behind our defense. You probally wont hear too much of him this offseason but with a strong 2009 in Vero Beach, he could sneak onto the BA top 100.
Other Sleepers: None
Hudson Valley (short season ball):
Jacob Jefferies (20)-C
The scouting report on him coming out of college was: Good contact hitter, Good plate discipline, Good defense, and little power. That report has been dead on so far. His BB/K ratio is 1, which shows how patient he is. Also 17 k's in 156 AB's is ridiculous. Catchers usually take longer than any other prospect to develop but so far I can see why we took him in the 3rd round. He'll have a bright future and shoot through the minors if he can keep his plate discipline. Keep in mind he's a 2008 draftee so the sample size is still small.
Nick Barnese (19)- SP
Most of know about him already so I wont go into alot of detail. To make it short, he's nasty. Behind Price, Davis, Hellickson and McGee, he's the next great SP prospect in line. Following the same path as Hellickson and just as dominate. Could make the BA top 100 (like Hellickson did after SS ball).
Tyree Hayes (just turned 20)- SP
Had his best performance as a pro today, and is my inspiration for the post. He gets alot of ground balls but doesnt strike guys out a whole lot. Needs to work on his command (21 BBs in 50 IP) but the grounders could end up saving him in the higher levels. In order for him to succeed and be considered a top prospect soon, he'll need to strike more guys out. 4.5 K's/9 is just not going to cut it if he wants to stay a starter. If he does pickup the K's, than look for him to be another Alex Cobb.
Kyeong Kang (20)-OF
6'2 200 LBS. Good power potential. Hits for a nice average and has a good eye. Biggest thing going for him is his age. He'll need to keep all of his stats close to the same level while developing power to be considered anything special. He's a sleeper prospect for next year IMO. Half of his hits have been XBH so far, which bodes well for the future.
Other Sleepers-Michael Sheridan
Princeton (rookie ball):
Tim Beckham (18)-SS
Again we all know him so im not going to spend long on him. Great defense and good bat. Needs to develop power to make the comparisons to the Uptons true. BTW he's hitting over .320 in his last 10 games.
Matt Moore (19)-SP
Quite possibly my favorite low level prospect. Reminds me alot of another McGee. 58 K's in 39 IP. Thats like 15 k's/9! Gets alot of grounders and opponents are hitting .174 off him. As a 6'2, 205 LB lefty, his future is very bright. Look for him to move to Hudson Valley next year. Also 0 HR's given up in 39 IP this year. He's an amazing talent and it should be fun to watch him move up.
Other Sleepers: Kyle Ayers, Jason McEachern, Chris Luck, Burt Reynolds, Elias Otero (tho he's a little old for my liking), Brian Bryles, and Chris (Ty) Morrison.
Notes: The lack of talent in Colombus is disheartening and it shows. They are the second worst team in the Sally league. Cobb is likely the only one with any future with us. Hudson Valley has some good prospects but Barnese is by far the most ready to move to Colombus. Obviously the talent in Princeton is loaded. Most of the potential won't be reached which is why I only went with the two I felt will reach their potential. The best thing about Princeton's sleepers (except Otero) is that they all are very young and have a lot of time to succeed (or fail).
